Interview: The Concert's Melanie Laurent
By Perri Nemiroff 2010-08-05 17:18:26 comments
Most of us know Mélanie Laurent as one of Quentin Tarantinos Inglorious Basterds, but Laurent had a lengthy resume even before then. But being that they were all foreign films, very few in the US experienced her work. With her new international star status thats all changing and now weve got the chance to see her latest release, the French film The Concert.
I knew the movie of the director, there was a movie made before, and I was really honored to work with such an amazing director, Laurent explained. But Radu Mihaileanu wasnt the only thing that drew Laurent to The Concert. The script was really amazing because its popular and emotional and a challenge with the violin, so I was really excited to be involved in that project.
The story is about a former conductor, Andrei Filipov (Aleksei Guskov). In his heyday he directed the famous Bolshoi orchestra, but when he was publically criticized for including Jewish performers in his group, his renowned career came to an end. Now hes merely a janitor where the Bolshoi perform. However, one day, that works to his advantage. He intercepts a fax inviting the Bolshoi to play at the Châtelet Theater in Paris and opts to seize the opportunity for himself, reassemble his old musicians and head to Paris pretending to be the Bolshoi.
Thats where Laurent comes in as the famous violinist, Anne-Marie Jacquet. One of Filipovs groups many demands is that Anne-Marie accompany them. Were well aware of the fact that Laurent can handle a gun, but what about a violin? She admitted, I used to play piano when I was five then I stopped, but the challenge of the violin was really really great for me because it was hard but I had a lot of fun doing this and the training was really interesting.
Whats even more interesting is what that training entailed. It can take a musician a lifetime to be able to play with an esteemed orchestra. Laurent said, You cant learn violin in two months, so I just learned how to pretend Im a violinist. But she wasnt totally faking it. Laurent actually had to learn how to play, but only with her left hand. The training was about being on the good chords at the right moment and to play violin like a violinist, to move like a violinist. So where does the right hand come from? They took another musician with small arms and small hands [laughs], and its a special effect.
On the other hand, the emotion Laurent had to portray is as raw as can be. The Concert is a comedy, but nearly every funny moment is reserved for the fake Bolshoi members. The power of Laurents role comes from her reaction to their hysteria. She puts on a fine performance from the moment she steps on screen, but the films grand finale is an absolutely profound display of passion, so much so that I couldnt even imagine how Laurent could find that scene anything but taxing. However, the experience was the exact opposite for her. I didnt work on the emotion, it just happened, she explained. I just loved being on stage and pretending Im a violinist. It was an amazing moment. I remember we worked on that scene for almost two weeks and I didnt want to leave. [Laughs] I could stay forever on stage.
Lucky for Laurent, shes got some serious musical talent even when her right hand isnt being digitally rendered. Shes actually busy working on an album with Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice. I have a studio in my house and Im singing everyday. She added, I hope Im going to be on tour in the US with that record. The distribution plan has yet to be finalized, so that tour likely wont be happening anytime in the near future, but when it does, Im sure Laurents Inglorious Basterds fans will come out in full force.
In the meantime not only is Inglorious Basterds good for multiple viewings and The Concert in theaters now, but Laurent also has a few more film projects on the way. I did an independent movie called Beginners with Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer, said Laurent. On top of that she also revealed, I have a lot of French projects. Im going to direct my own movie in November and Im shooting right now a movie in France. That movie is a comedy called Et soudain, tout le monde me manqué, which according to an online translator means And Suddenly, Everybody Misses Me. Its with an actor called Michel Blanc, which is funny because I worked with him as a director nine years ago. Hes playing her father in the film.
So Laurents work is clearly overseas-centric, but shes eager to return to Hollywood should the opportunity arise. Referring to Inglorious Basterds, she explained, That experience was just a dream, so yeah, if I could live another dream, Im ready for that. Shes certainly more than welcome here and Ive got a feeling Im just one of many who hopes she returns to the states whether its for another big budget production or maybe even for her music tour very soon. For now, check out The Concert in select theaters.

How things change. I was rereading one of my very first posts last week and in it I stated that I didn't really like dumplings. Almost a year later I have come 180 degrees and am obsessed with dumplings. Clearly the Gemini in me coming through.
Dumpling King on Station Street is one of many places to get your dumplings on in Box Hill.
So, when J and I both had dumpling cravings we headed here to get our fix.
Dumpling King seats people across two shop fronts and was quieter than expected at just before 12:30 on a Friday. It did get busier though and I am glad we got there before the crowd.
We were served by a guy who I presume is the manager or owner, or both. He was friendly, and happy to give recommendations when asked.
We started with a spring onion pancake.
It was doughy and lacked flavour.
Next out was the pan fried beef dumplings.
J doesn't like pan fried dumplings, he prefers steamed, but I like the extra flavour and texture the pan frying gives.
I was happy with the beef dumplings, they had good flavour and were generously filled.
J had the steamed seafood dumplings.
The skin on these was too thick and he described them as floury and only ate one.
The steamed prawn dumplings were much better and J said they were perfect.
I tried the steamed chicken dumplings
They were good but the beef were my favourite.
J also tried the steamed pork buns (no pic).
He enjoyed them but while I might have changed my mind about dumplings, I am still not convinced about pork buns.
We summed up Dumpling King as hit and miss, there was some good items, but also some not so good items.

Go Ahead, Make My Day! week continues at Trailers from Hell, with TV writer Alan Spencer introducing "Magnum Force," the second of the Dirty Harry movies, starring Clint Eastwood.
The title "Magnum Force" reflects the contributions of screenwriter and firearms fan John Milius, who was rewritten by a pre-Deer Hunter Michael Cimino. Director Ted Post, who had worked with Eastwood on Hang 'em High and tv's Rawhide, found the star more contentious at this stage of his career and claimed their disputes during production harmed the film. But boxoffice results topped the original.

09/25/2011, Annapolis, Maryland
We had an easy trip to Annapolis and stayed at the lovely Westin Hotel. We borrowed their free bikes and biked to Annapolis to sight see while we waited for the arrival of our boat to the Bert Jabins Marina. The Naval Training Base was impressive - we especially enjoyed the Tomb of John Paul Jones and the Naval Museum. It reminded us how rich in history this area is. We saw George Washington's shoe buckles, comb, dishes, etc. in the musuem and were reminded that this was for a brief period the capital of our government. It is also where George Washington surrendered his commission as general - a shock to many - giving up the absolute power that Congress had given him. The tribute to African American slaves by Alex Hailey the author of Roots is in downtown Annappolis. This is where Kunte Kinte was brought by ship from Africa. We dined in a building, formerly a tavern, built in 1747 where George Washington had been and enjoyed some crab. We barely scratched the surface of all that Annapolis has to offer and are hoping to do more touring when our boat is ready.
We arrived at the marina just as our boat came in on its truck. It was amazing to see our friends boat, Kathy and John Noland's boat Aurora, along with ours on one transport. We began the challenge of preparing the boat once again to continue our trip.
We soon discovered that while our boom, mast, and dinghy did not float on down the Hudson during the Irene Hurricane - it was FILLED with mud! We spent a full day hosing the mud out of the mast and boom. We had the mast tipped at an angle to let the mud roll out and left it over night to hopefully complete the job. Yardsmen said that it would "preserve" the boat. Trying to keep a sense of humor I said I thought that maybe I should put some mud on me since I too needed preserving - they offered to help me out!
Of course, a cloud of rain continues to follow us so it rained, rained, and rained.
We finally were able to have the mast put up and out came more mud. Every line we run through the mast is covered in mud. We have hosed down every line over and over. Every time we raise the main we will need to keep a bucket of water to douse the main sheet line. After reattaching everything, we discovered that our anchor light is not working. Also, in addition to spending time cleaning out mud Merry had the great experience of going up the mast to grab the jib halyard which was on the wrong side of the spreaders at the top of the mast. Lucky Wiley was the "winch man" and he got the great opportunity to winch his wife up the mast. it was no easy feat, and we had to do it twice because the first time Merry was tangled in an extra safety line. The view from up the mast was fantastic - when you looked out over the harbor - however looking down definitely made Merry think about totally trusting Wiley's skills as the "winch man". However, even though he had his opportunity to finish off his wife (and he had reason to - Merry was not a joy to be around as we cleaned off mud and dealt with all of the rain) he returned Merry safely to the boat. We worked all day on preparing the boat. Our friends Kathy and John, those without mud, set off to anchor in Annapolis and think about next steps. Our hope is to provision the boat today, have the anchor light fixed on Monday, and finally begin the next step of the trip. Please PRAY for no more rain for us - we would appreciate it!!
09/25/2011, Annapolis, Maryland
Faced with the reality that a hurricane had made this trip we planned impossible, we headed for Lake Cayuga and the marina where our boat would be left for haul out and shipment to Annapolis. The Erie Canal continued its panorama of beauty, the lockmasters continued to be friendly and helpful, but our progress down the canal did not have the same sense of purpose.We wrestled with a couple of blips in our progress in Newark - Merry's allergic reaction to a sting, Wiley throwing his back out, and finding that the entire bow of the boat had filled with muddy water as a result of a loose fitting in the water supply system. We thought for a few scary moments that our boat may actually be sinking as the bow was completely filled with water - however after pumping it out, cleaning, and repairing our fitting we discovered that we still float!!
We tied up along the wall in our next stop along the canal - in Lyons, New York over Labor Day weekend. It is an interesting situation, because you use the bathroom and showers at the fire department, walking past the firemen on duty in the Lyons 911 center each time. Merry had thoughts of the Firemen's Calendar - which unfortunately, were not realized. There were not many stores or restaurants, and most of what the town had to offer was closed. It rained much of the weekend; so we spent a lot of time reading on the boat. At last, the day after labor day it stopped raining, and we got underway. We enjoyed our last passage on the Erie Canal, and then turned onto the Cayuga- Seneca canal. The lock on this canal was a surprise - it was a "lift" rather than a "drop", and a pretty big lift too! We did the lock with a big excursion boat. We have turned into "real pros," when it comes to locks, however, as we got through without difficulty and proceeded onto Lake Cayuga.
Lake Cayuga is one of the Finger lakes in N.Y. It is beautiful - the lakes are set among rolling hills. The north end of this lake is very shallow, with a narrow channel, so we navigated carefully from "buoy to buoy". We went past the marina that we were going to leave the boat at where it would be hauled, because they had candidly told us that there were no stores or restaurants within miles of their location. We went five miles down the lake to another marian that we had called. When we got there, we found their office closed and no one around. The mariana was full of weed (our nemesis), and we ended up running aground and getting weed wrapped around the prop. This is how we spent the night- with our boat sitting in weed + mud. Wiley, the brave hero, went into the muck with mask and fins, cleared the weed off the prop, and "swam" a line across the fairway to a piling. he then used the sheet winch to pull the boat off so that we could get underway and get out of there! It had been Port Austin all over again!!
We then went back up the Lake five miles to Beacon Bay Marina, where our boat was to be hauled out. We found that the boat yard was just as spartan as described, but the folks that own the marina, and Larry who works there, were very friendly. It is an industrial facility - you have to walk around a backhoe and into a huge old building to use the bathrooms and showers. However, there is a little "community" of people who keep their boats there - they call themselves "the Red-Neck Yacht Club."
Rain, rain, and more rain!! It rained for two solid days, so we did a LOT more reading! Finally, the rain let up, and we lucked out! There is a small business at the Marina called "Mahoney Canvas" and Bill and Jim (the owners) dropped what they were doing and went to work fixing the "tornado damage" to our canvas - the bent tube, the rip in the Bimini. They did a great job, and the Bimini is "as good as new". They wanted to charge $54.00 for all this, but Wiley insisted on paying them $75.00. We readied the boat for leaving - taking down everything on deck and storing all below deck so that we could be ready to have the boat hauled while we were away.
Nickolas the son of the owners of Lockview Marina and Transport came (for a fee of $100.00) and took us to the airport in Ithaca, New York. Originally, we had planned on taking the AMTRACK to Chicago from Rochester. However, at 1:30AM we received a "robo-call" informing us that the train was canceled due to flooding in the East. After a long ride (about 12 hours) we made it home - and as Dorothy says, "there is no place like home".
We loved: being with family, watching the kids participate in the Warrior Dash, visiting with friends, seeing the pets, enjoying the garden, watching the Bears play, etc. We had to adjust to being able to run water without concern about how much was in the water tank, having our private bathrooms, being able to easily shop for groceries, run laundry whenever we wanted etc.
My niece Katie tells that she thinks of a "first world problem" - it is a minor complaint compared to what the rest of the world may be enduring. Her example was complaining about having to get up from a comfy bed, surrounded by the things she loves, ... when others do not even have a bed. So... we are thinking that as we look back to some of the craziness of this trip we remind ourselves just how lucky we are to have what we have and be able to continue enjoy the adventures of this trip. Some days it is harder than others to admit to our "first world problem" - but all in all we realize that how fortunate we are to go home and then be able to continue our trip.
Today with clarity on the problem of the canals and decsions we needed to make we made some calls to Lockview Marine (our shippers of the mast, etc. Allison our Angel found out that our mast, boom, etc. are "alive and well".
Wiley's smile is beginning to take shape. In addition, we talked to her about shipping our boat to the Hudson River -/ Catskills where the mast, boom, et are at Hop-O-Nose-Marina. We learned that this is not possible because there are too many restrictions about trucking oversized loads, however she suggest that we could ship to Annapolis.
This means we will go down the Cayuga and Seneca Canal to Lake Cayuga. We have contracted to have the boat hauled at a marina on the Cayuga Lake -near the Lockview Marine and they will pick it up and get the mast etc. to us in Annapolis. This will allow us to go home during the time it will take this to happen, see family, and for Merry to honor her commitment to do some consultant work she had agreed to do in September. The good news is we will be further down the coast toward our destination and hopefully miss any of Katia's-the next Hurricane's impact- the bad news is we will give up seeing New York City on the way down. It will have to wait until we take the trip back.
Merry's arm is healing, so just as her decrepit body is coming around,Wiley's old body takes its turn by throwing his back out. He managed to do this by getting on the boat from the wall.
He took a muscle relaxant and while this is not a cure it does provide Merry with some peace and quiet for the period he sleeps it off. Poor guy! ( I am amazed to watch all of the twitching, sighing, and pacing subside even if it is for just a short period of time. ) He is hopeful that his back will be better tomorrow so the dream can live on... with its new challenges.
We pushed on down the Erie Canal to Newark. This trip began well. The canal was beautiful, and over part of the morning we were going over a section that was actually higher than the land alongside it, so that we were looking down at trees! We went through two more locks (we've done six on the Erie by now). The first lock of the two lowered us another 25 feet and the second 17.
What was challenging was that a HUGE barge and tug went through these to locks with us. The Lockmaster told us to pull all the way forward in the locks, taking the last rope to hold the stern and a boat hook to a ladder on the lock to hold in the bow. Merry handled the boat hook at the bow, while Wiley grasped the rope hanging down the canal wall by the stern. Interestingly, the tug and barge didn't use any lines at all; they just floated down' pretty close to us at the front of the long, as the water went out. It it kind of like being in a big bathtub with the plug being pulled - only we were in the tub with Baby Huey! The tug and barge began drifting toward us, and Wiley yelled to the deck hand on the barge that if they hit us, he would sue them for the full cash value of our boat $300. He laughed and told us not to worry, "the Captain knows what he is doing," which indeed proved to be the case, as our Little Les Miserables and the barge emerged from both canals without so much as a new scratch!
The BAD news - the Lockmaster told us that the 4 locks on the eastern Erie Canal were flooded, damaged and closed. So we are now thinking we may not be able to finish the Canal trip in the time frame needed.
We wanted to spend the night at Newark because they have a six screen movie theater, and Merry wanted to see "The Help". When we got to Newark we found friendly people and free facilities - showers, wi-fi and laundry. What we didn't find was the movie -"The Help". However, "the help" is what we needed!
2 Days before we got to Newark, something (our guess is a wasp) stung Merry in the wrist. By the next day, Merry's hand and lower arm had swelled up (she was looking more and more like Popeye), it turned red, and was painful. She was also dizzy and the red mark and swelling was moving up her arm. She took some antihistamine - but really it did nothing for her except let her sleep. One of the helpful dockmasters, actually helped walk her with Wiley to the doctors (who kindly gave up his lunch hour to see her) . She had an allergic reaction and a possible infection and he prescribed medications. She has been waiting for the "glow of retirement" and the side effects of the medication has her "glowing" her face is bright red - so we now suspect that she may be allergic to the meds.... yikes! However, the swelling and redness is going down. It is all good?!
Meanwhile, we have learned that the eastern Erie Canal will probably be closed for the rest of the year. This is the near universal opinion of experienced local boaters, and is what some of the Lockmasters have been saying privately. We called the State of New York Canal Authority, and what they say is that they simply don't know when the canal will reopen and will not know for at least a week; if the canal is closed, it means that we cannot do the trip we planned.
In addition to half the east coast, that wicked hurricane Irene has wrecked our voyage! To make matters worse, we learned that the marina where we shipped our mast, boom, and dinghy (on the Catskill River just up from the Hudson) is UNDERWATER, and we haven't been able to get through by phone or e-mail. However, unlike many who suffered because of the hurricane; we are alive and (with the exception of the wasp sting) well, and our boat (with the possible exception of her mast, book, roller furling and dinghy) is in good shape. (Aside from that Mrs. Lincoln - how was the play?) If we had not had the disagreement over whether or not to install refrigeration, we would have left weeks earlier than we did, and our boat would have taken a "direct hit" from the hurricane. (Back to the I told you so...) We have much to be thankful for... needless to say, however, instead of being thankful Wiley has fallen into a deep depression over the idea of giving up his "trip of a lifetime". A glass or three of Bordeaux would help his mood, and he has only one bottle that he picked up in Holley. However he refuses to drink alone, and medications prevent his "co-captain" from having any wine. A sorry state of affairs.
The Erie Canal turns out to be just as beautiful, just as lazy and the towns along it, just as friendly as we had been told. We hope that our posted photos will give some idea of what it looks like. We move down the canal quietly, keeping an average speed of five knots. We see lots of herons; and also saw a kingfisher. Each of the towns we have stopped at has its own individual charms. Holley had a little park with a magnificent, and surprisingly large waterfall. Wiley was able to walk a mere 2 1/2 miles to a wine shop, where he picked up four bottles of wine (2 French, 1 Italian and then walked back 21/2 miles with his treasure! We knew that Hurricane Irene was coming, so we traveled only five miles from Holley to Brockport, where we would wait the storm out.
Brockport is a 'college' town and our favorite thus far. We tied up along the wall. The town has a fabulous bookstore-, and was full of college kids. We had our first New York style pizza which (although it cannot compare to our noble Chicago - deep dish) was very tasty. The winds reached 30 mph during the day, but the 50 mph gusts which had been predicted but not occur where we were. They had bikes we could use for free and we rode down to the sports store and around town. We had breakfast at Corrines and she gives you a card with her rules on it, which include no use of the "f" word, no talking on cell phones etc. before she gives you a menu. Wiley told her the only improvement to the place, that he could suggest would be hanging posters of Walter Payton, "Da Coach" and Dick Butkus!
At our next port, Fairport, the friendly dockmaster came down to our boat and greeted us. Fairport is the first place since Wardell's where we had to pay anything to stay, but it was only $7.00 a night and the facilities were beautiful. Unfortunately, after a run Merry was stung once again. We went over to the Irish pub for dinner as Merry whined about her sting!
We learned that because of the severe flooding Lock 19 and all of the locks east of there had been closed, but we decided that since it would take us four days to get to lock 19 we would leave Fairport in the morning.
Wiley's nightmare of going over a chasm actually came true, and we discovered that going over a chasm is not so bad when you do it with the assistance of a wonderful Lock Master (John) and two massive locks that are engineering masterpieces. We thought that we were supposed to get our Erie Canal permit before we entered the lock (this turned out not to be true). There is a wall 1/2 mile before you reach the locks and we maneuvered the boat to pull up alongside this wall. The maneuver wasn't very pretty because there was a strong wind behind us and all that we could see to tie up to was huge bollards (originally designed for huge barges) which are 100 feet apart. Merry jumped up and out of the boat - throwing her body on the top of the cement wall - with lines. She was able to throw a line around the bollard - Wiley helped out with the stern line and we exchanged some words of advice for each other. To say it was not a graceful exercise is a major understatement - but in the end we were tied up. We walked into Lockport to purchase our permit and see the locks to help ease our fears. Fortunately we were able to purchase a season's permit ($75.00) and unfortunately we saw the locks - two drops of approximately 25 feet each right next to each other seemed daunting. However, John - the Lock Master - kindly talked us through the experience and we were successful.
We decided to stay at Widewaters Marina just outside of Lockport because they had hot showers and we had been showering on the boat for the past 3 days. We were the only transient boat in the whole marina and while they had electricity they did not have water hook ups. They did have laundry facilities, a shower, and their sign said they had a pump out - so we thought we were in business. However, we discovered differently. Merry went in to take her shower at 7:45 and was undressing when a man came running into the ladies room shouting, "I am not waiting for any shower! I am locking this place up - you will be locked in! Get out now!" Merry was embarrassed and scurried out of the shower and in her strongest voice said to this crude man - "You don't have to talk to me like a child!" He responded, "Well, you don't have to get so upset!" Merry tearfully ran back to the boat and took her shower - well, at least this time the water was hot on the boat because we had motored from Tonawanda through the canal. However, there was another issue - if you are a boater you understand that when using the "head" you must be sure to keep the valve in the correct position when done - if not the holding tank fills with water. Someone, who will remain nameless, left the lever in the wrong position. You can imagine how delighted we were each morning when they opened the bathroom at 7AM and continued to be dismayed that they only stayed open until 8PM. Most marinas provide you with a key or code to use the facility - but they said, "We could never do that!" These people would not last two days in Chicago- they would be killed and eaten!
Merry feeling boat fatigue thought that getting her hair done would be just the treat she needed. She went to the Blue Door Hair Salon, which was "upscale in comparison with Super Clip" and they said they were willing to squeeze her in. The girl who was styling her hair kept saying, "So, you are on this boat trip - you should have a 'windy cut' so it can be messy and still be in style!" The results are that Merry now has a very, very, very, short and windy style! We are now spending some of our time ashore shopping for cute hats!
Upon preparing to depart this marina we asked again about a pump out for our head. We discovered that it was on display in the marine office like an artifact of some long-lost civilization because it had been "out of commission for about a year". The part had been " uptown" and no one had ever gotten around to "fixin it". The men who worked at this marina, with the exception of one gentleman named Mike, were limited, slow, and lacked any initiative. Mostly, they sat outside of the marina at a picnic table and talked with the locals - ALL day. Prior to leaving we asked to purchase some ice - and we cleaned them out - all 4 bags - they said, "Yeah, well I guess we will have to call the ice company soon." Again - in Chicago they would be killed and eaten within two days.
We motored up to Gasport to purchase some diesel fuel as listed in the Canal Guide. Craig, at Gasport, said he would get us some diesel if we needed it. That meant that Craig and his dog Bear would get his barrel of diesel that he purchases at a truck stop and using a dolly roll it over to where we could fill our boat. They did have a pump out - thank goodness. He has refurbished a tug boat hull and built his boat around this hull. It is impressive work. Craig is an obviously resourceful and nice guy. He recommended that our next stop be at Holley, New York because there were nice facilities and a waterfall there.

American movies showcase death and destruction as much as ever, but it's no easy task to find a well-scripted potty mouth. The raunchy antics of horny teens enjoyed a heyday in the early eighties with the likes of "Porky's" and "Revenge of the Nerds," movies that tapped into the joy of young people so eager to exploit their bodily urges that their innocence was infectious.
Since then, the first entry in the "American Pie" franchise has remained the modern exemplar of the genre, while movies as a whole have grown tamer. The comedies directed and produced by Judd Apatow have certainly upped the ante for mainstream dick jokes, and the infamous pipe sex in "Tiny Furniture" introduced a much needed feminine angle to the humorous possibilities of awkward copulation, which writer-director Lena Dunham carried over to HBO's "Girls." But these recent examples deal with sex as part of a larger equation of events rather than placing them at the center of the narrative.
"The To Do List," by contrast, exclusively revolves around a young woman's quest to learn every key aspect of intercourse before heading off to college in 1993. The story is divided into chapters based around various naughty activities on her eponymous agenda. At the same time, writer-director Maggie Carey maintains the airy, blasé feel of mainstream entertainment, pulling off a combination that in contrast to today's conservative standards feels downright radical. It smuggles obscenities into pop culture vernacular with a goofy grin.
Things start off a little shaky with the establishment of preppy college-bound Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza) when her valedictorian speech is interrupted by heckling classmates, one of whom hollers, "get off the stage, virgin!" In a Todd Solondz movie, such an aside might cynically play up the sad truth of being a smart pariah; in a Todd Phillips movie, it would be a juvenile quip.
However, it turns out that this seemingly trivial opener actually sets the plot in motion: Moments later, Brandy learns from her older sis (Rachel Bilson) that she needs to have some experience under her belt -- so to speak -- before hitting the hedonistic world of dorm life. Thus the list: a roundup of sex acts divided into color-coded categories that she hopes to satisfy over the course of her summer job at the local swimming pool, culminating with going all the way.
Setting her sights on cartoonishly brawny pool boy Rusty Waters (Scott Porter), she practices her first few tricks on innocent pal Cameron (Johnny Simmons), who naturally falls for her and then feels crushed when she branches out to other targets. In premise alone, "The To Do List" contains some mild similarities to the 2010 Emma Stone vehicle "Easy A," in which Stone's character merely pretended to turn into the school's village bicycle. In "The To Do List," however, Brady grabs the bike's handlebars and takes control, egged on by her amusingly carefree friends (Alia Shawkat and Sarah Steele, in colorful turns on par with their equivalents from male-centered teen movies like "Superbad").
Carey casts her heroine's mission in contrast to the buttoned-up adult world, which suffers from its own problems: Bill Hader (the filmmaker's real-life husband) does some of his best post-"Saturday Night Live" screen acting as the lazy pool boss willing to haze his new hire but strangely aghast at her blossoming sexuality; the efforts of her frantic dad (Clark Gregg) to keep her away from the ills of experimentation smartly poke at the roots of sexual repression in strict family values.
There's a lot of familiar ground here. In "Adventureland" and this summer's "The Way Way Back," disillusioned teens have worked through their issues in the weeks leading up to college by taking on quirky summer jobs. However, Carey's wacky sensibilities retain a notably fresh quality by using the same framing device as an excuse to bat around one funny idea after another. The story transcends the derivative scenario through a noticeable lack of verbal censorship.
This joyful approach to the pleasures of the flesh has been a part of the movies since their inception, and yet we've been largely deprived of the ability to enjoy it. Whenever sex serves the story, it faces harsh scrutiny. (See: The cavalcade of objectification claims leveled against recent Palme d'Or winner "Blue is the Warmest Color," which features a prolonged lesbian sex scene to underscore the depth of the bond between its two leads.) "The To Do List" manages to skirt by because it makes the sex jokes innocuous. One gets the sense that "The Lubitsch Touch," named for classic screwball comedy Ernst Lubitsch's ability to smuggle innuendo into his films, has some DNA on this picture.
Carey's celebratory approach to bawdy one-liners marries form with content. From a John Water-esque scatological gag to a freeze frame capturing a post-blowjob spit, "The To Do List" imbues its punchlines with a liberated sensibility. After she gets caught by an elder at the tail end of the aforementioned fellatio who asks her what she would've done if she hadn't been busted, Brady shoots back, "I probably would've swallowed."
The movie's ribald dialogue derives a fair amount of energy from its female perspective. "Porky's" and its ilk are boys' fantasies above all else; "The To Do List," by the nature of its plot, finds Brady taking control. "I am not a quitter," she declares during a heated masturbation session. Certainly Plaza, who deserves major kudos for taking on such a mischievous role, must have been thinking the same thing.
Since "The To Do List" takes place in the early nineties, it involves the antics of the last teen generation to grow up in a pre-internet age. It's refreshing to watch a movie in which text messages never intrude on the exposition. Everything is advanced by talk. Despite a few cheeky attempts to play up the nostalgia element, "The To Do List" could have been made during the time when it takes place. In the movie's chief irony, Carey finds a spark of progressive comedy by turning back the clock.
Criticwire grade: A-
HOW WILL IT PLAY? CBS Films releases "The To Do List" today. Decent reviews and a lack of major box office competition as the summer approaches its third month may help the movie perform decently nationwide, although it's most likely to become a sleeper hit compared to the big tentpoles in theaters now.

What are the sources for WeatherOnline forecasts?
The WeatherOnline forecasts are created by using a MOS system developed in-house with the most current US weather services model data (GFS). The statistical methods of the Model-Output-Statistic (MOS)-System were developed in cooperation with the Meteorological Department of the University of Bonn.
What is a MOS-System?
A Model-Output-Statistic (MOS)-System combines the data of the weather forecast model and the locally recorded data for any given point by transforming the model data from a coarse grid to detailed small scale areas.
In order to do so, one needs a large volume of past model forecast data as well as the corresponding recorded data for any given location. The MOS-System relates these two sets of data in an optimized fashion allowing development of the local weather forecast by using the most current model forecast.
What are the time intervals used in the temperature and icons of the local forecasts?
The forecasted maximum temperature always refers to a 12hour window from 6am to 6om local time.
The forecasted minimum temperature always refers to the 12hour window from 6pm of the day before the forecast day to 6 am of the forecast day.
The weather icon for the morning refers to the time between 6am and 12pm local time, the icon for the afternoon is valid from 12am to 6pm local time and the evening icon refers to the time from 6pm to 12am local time.
How often are the current weather conditions and forecasts updated?
The current weather information as well as the satellite images are updated every 30 minutes whereas the radar images are being updated every 15 minutes.
The local weather forecasts as well as the weather charts are updated 8 times a day. The updates start at 2 am CEST or 3 am CEST depending on daylight saving time and continue on a three hourly bases.

New York Times And Wall Street Journal Predict Apple "iWatch"
Forget the TV; Apple's next big thing may be much smaller.
Since Apple released the sixth generation iPod Nano in September 2010, many have wondered if Apple was seriously preparing to set their sights on watches as the next industry to revolutionize and dominate. Yesterday, the New York Times' Nick Bilton claimed that Apple is currently experimenting with such a wristwatch made of curved glass and built to run a version of iOS. Citing Sources Familiar With the Matter, Bilton says it's this curved glass that will set the new Apple watch apart from other recent entrants into this market. Then, like clockwork, the Wall Street Journal (another news sources with rumored inside ties to Apple's PR team) released their own report, saying not only is Apple experimenting with wearable computing, they've also discussed these plans with Foxconn.
Now that so many have pondered a rumored "iWatch" for so long, a few assumed, inevitable features are expected to ship with this device. A wearable device from Apple could include Siri functionality, making scheduling that next meeting or calling your mother as easy as speaking into your wrist. Bilton takes this further, suggesting that an Apple-branded watch could even take advantage of Apple's new Passbook software, allowing wearers to make mobile payments with these watches. Like other watches and wearable devices currently on the market, an Apple watch could also be used for fitness, tracking steps, burned calories and even heartbeats. Yet, for all these features which are widely assumed to ship with this watch, Bilton claims it's the bendable glass display which will be the major selling point of these watches.
Corning, Apple's current supplier of glass for their iOS devices, announced last June that they had solved the flexible display conundrum with a project called "Willow Glass."
Speaking to Bilton, Corning's CTO Pete Bocko said Willow Glass took his company more than ten years to perfect and reach a point where they can deliver it to customers. "You can certainly make it wrap around a cylindrical object and that could be someone's wrist," said Bocko in an interview with Bilton. "Right now, if I tried to make something that looked like a watch, that could be done using this flexible glass."
Yet, for as far as Willow Glass can bend, Bocko says the ultimate challenge is creating a material capable of standing up to the toughest of mechanical challenges, which is the human body.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple has discussed these plans with Foxconn, who has also been working on processes to make devices even smaller and more power efficient. It is suggested that Foxconn could use what they've learned in these areas to help build an Apple-branded wrist watch. It's widely expected that this device would work as a companion to the iPhone. A similar device has been receiving a lot of attention lately as an iPhone companion. The Pebble smart watch began life as a super-successful Kickstarter campaign, but later ran into production issues. At a keynote during this year's CES, the makers of Pebble announced that existing Pebble orders would soon begin shipping, and new orders would immediately follow.
Facing stiff competition on the smartphone front and falling stock prices, many are looking to Apple to do something truly different in 2013. An iPhone compatible smart watch may be one of these truly different products meant to get fans excited about Apple once more.

sensiva® PA 40– efficient by design Highly effective antimicrobial stabiliser uniquely protects leave-on, wet wipe and sensitive formulation
sensiva® PA 40 combines natural propanediol with a nature-identical fragrance ingredient and a gentle synthetic. Propanediol known to be an excellent moisturiser improves the skin feel of formulations while enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial components.
Many natural substances have antimicrobial activity. But naturally occurring substances tend to be more organism-specific and can have colour and odour issues. By using nature-identical and gentle synthetic materials, activity level, colour and odour of sensiva® PA 40 can be controlled precisely and standardised. The consistency and availability of the material can also be managed to create a more sustainable formulation.
This antimicrobial stabiliser blend sensiva® PA 40 is highly effective at low use levels. Challenge tests performed on a variety of cosmetic formulations show sensiva® PA 40 to be an effective antimicrobial stabiliser at a use level of 0.5 - 1.5%. Additionally, it supports deodorant activity, as it has been shown to inhibit the growth and multiplication of odour-causing bacteria.

Democracy in action: rebuilding Island Park
(Page 3 of 3)
The HGMP grant would encourage economic development, and bring both businesses and residents back to town. I urge our elected officials to listen to the people, and make Island Park's HMGP grant application a priority. I can't think of any village that suffered more damage and that deserves this money more.

Republic May Move Hundreds Of Frontier Jobs
Republic Looking At Each City's Incentive Programs
Some Frontier Airlines jobs may be flying away to Milwaukee or Indianapolis.The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that anywhere from 150 to 400 jobs could be leaving Denver and headed to Milwaukee.Republic Airways Holdings won a bid on Aug. 13 to buy Frontier for $108.8 million.The city of Denver said it is working on tax incentive packages to try and keep Frontier jobs in the Mile High City."Jobs matter and in a down economy every job matters," said Tom Clark, executive vice president of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.7NEWS has asked how far the city and state were willing to go to keep Frontier in town."I can't tell you how far we're willing to go but we do have a strategy and we're pursuing that," Clark said.A Republic spokesman said nothing is set in stone and no option is off the table. Everything is up in the air but Republic is looking at every opportunity to reduce spending and ensure the profitability and success of the company, said Republic spokesman Carlo Bertolini.Bertolini said if Denver comes up with an incentive program that makes sense, then Republic would keep jobs in Denver.Republic also recently acquired Milwaukee-based Midwest Airlines."What's in play is does Republic's headquarters stay in Indianapolis or do you have separate headquarters for Midwest in Milwaukee and Frontier here in Denver," said Clark. "Or do you somehow have a consolidation?""We look at the marriage between Republic Airways and Frontier Airlines as a tremendous opportunity and we will do everything we can to keep as many jobs here as possible," said Mayor John Hickenlooper.The Frontier jobs that are in play are 150 heavy maintenance jobs at Denver International Airport, and around 100 other Denver-based positions, Republic Chief Executive Officer Bryan Bedford told the paper.A customer service center in Las Cruces, N.M., with 150 employees will definitely be relocated to save money, Bedford said. Milwaukee, Denver and Indianapolis, where Republic has its corporate headquarters, are each being considered for that operation.Republic is scheduled to complete its purchase of Frontier on Oct. 1.

Just got my first Brompton this morning.
Brompton London Limited Edition 2012
Congratulations! Let's see some pics!
Congrats on your purchase!
Just so happens I've got my eye on one too. Love the all-black look.
post pics or it didn't happen....
Straight from Flying Ball Hong Kong. Still with packaging materials. I also ordered Brompton B Bag for transporting safely. I still don't have much time to ride with it yet. Maybe this weekend. By the way, I'm from the Philippines. We don't have authorized distributor / dealer of Brompton products here. That's why we order them in Hong Kong, the nearest place and cheapest way to get them.
2 speed?
I luv my black H6L.
Another photo:
Very nice! I like the all black look. Have fun riding it when you get the chance.
Looks real nice! I'm also from the Philippines and have recently emailed Flying Ball to inquire about a different model but they said only the Limited Edition was in stock. Was this the reason you got this model? I mean, they really don't have any other models available when you went there?
Nope, I really wanted the London Edition and black is my favorite color and preferred color.

"Post Tenebras Lux" opens in a dreamy Arcadia, a pasture where horses, dogs and cows graze or run around a joyful little girl taking halting steps. It's only when dusk is slowly turning to darkness and the girl calls for her absent mother that you realize the film's mythic beginning could be curdling into a nightmare.
But we'll never know, exactly. Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas' jagged, broken-logic drama lurches from fantasy to earthbound complications, though it is often hard to tell one from the other.
As a rule, that's not a problem in the hands of a good artist, and Reygadas ("Japón") is good. But there is something willfully and stubbornly oblique about "Post Tenebras Lux" (ironically, the Latin title means "after darkness, light") that eventually replaces a viewer's goodwill with impatience.
Scattered like marbles on cold steel, the film's haphazard scenes about an upscale family's move from a city to a lush farm region suggest story continuity and tension. In fact, Reygadas formally eschews both.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Juan (Adolfo Jiménez Castro) and Natalia (Nathalia Acevedo) are a troubled couple with two small children (Reygadas' own kids, Rut and Eleazar). We see them at home, on a beach, at a big family gathering and in community settings where they don't quite fit in with laborers and small farmers.
We also see Juan attack a family dog in a fit of rage, hector a weary Natalia over trifles and disrobe her before a group of strangers at a sex club. Reygadas presents all of this as desultory slices of heightened reality, dismissing narrative flow. The result is unassembled puzzle pieces of a glimpse into subconscious frenzy.
That can be very effective in a good film. But in "Post Tenebras Lux" — with its out-of-nowhere images of a rugby match and other distractions — the challenge outweighs the reward.

A man who just can't keep his name out of the headlines is the topic of our conversation inside the Football Transfer Tavern once again, with Alan Nixon of the Daily Mirror reckoning Pep Guardiola may try to tempt Luis Suarez to Bayern Munich in the summer.
Suarez has been one of the stars of the Premier League this campaign, and yesterday bagged his 20th goal of the season in all competitions. However, as is so often the case with Suarez, the goals have unfortunately only told half the story, with diving and cheating allegations being thrown the Uruguayan's way all season.
Some believe Suarez is growing tired of the constant criticism, and may be ready to quit English football.
Guardiola, who announced he would be joining Bayern only last week, is a big admirer of Suarez and has the advantage of his brother being the players agent.
Suarez only signed a new deal at Anfield in the summer, and has stated often that he is happy on Merseyside. But should another season go by without Champions League football, you wonder whether the lure of Guardiola may prove too tempting.
£60 million
he willleave no doubt about it. else why did he admit he dived? R was it pulling z legs of press meaning when i dived z dn,t find anyth but when i dn,t do anyth z find hundreds of ..
If the buyout clause is only $40m as rumored he can pretty much pick where he wants to play should he decide to leave Liverpool. There isn't a big club out there that wouldn't happily pay that.
If the buyout clause is only $40m as rumored he can pretty much pick where he wants to play should he decide to leave Liverpool. There isn\'t a big club out there that wouldn\'t happily pay that.
The Manchester United Daily Mirror are willing to try anything they are told to do by the Bullying Old Hac Mr. Red Nose Ferguson to unsettle Suarez in the hope he goe's because Ferguson is so jealous that Suarez is a LFC RED
LMAO What a load of crap. He's just signed a 6-year contract and LOVES not onlt LFC but the city and the people. He's revered there – he could have gone last season but he has demonstrated time and again, incredible loyalty. Complete non-story. 😉
Hey there, You've done an incredible job. I will definitely digg it and in my view recommend to my friends. I'm confident they will be benefited from this website.
Im a Munchen fan and i would love to see suarez come to munchen. But do you think the reds are just gonna let suarez leave like they let torres leave? Highly doubtful, But hey! you never know

Wes Welker (Concussion) Ruled Out Against Chargers
(DENVER) -- Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the San Diego Chargers with a concussion.
The five-time Pro Bowler suffered his second concussion in the past four games during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans.
The 32-year-old Welker also suffered a concussion in a win over the Kansas City Chiefs on November 17. Head coach John Fox said on Monday that Welker's health is "what we're thinking about,"adding that he will undergo the league's concussion protocol.
According to the league's protocol, any player who suffers a concussion is not permitted to participate in a full practice until the following Friday at the earliest.
Welker is the Broncos' second-leading receiver this season with 778 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Taliban insurgents and their Al Qaeda allies, once thought defeated in Afghanistan, are regaining strength. Regrouped and reorganized, better equipped and financed, and more sophisticated tactically, they are threatening both the reconstruction process and the U.S.-led coalition forces on the ground. Pakistan-Afghanistan relations have been another casualty of the renewed violence. The resurgence of the Taliban movement and the growing insurgency in the provinces bordering the Pakistan-Afghan border have once again generated tensions between Kabul and Islamabad. The two countries are accusing each other of interfering in their respective domestic affairs.
In a new Carnegie Paper, Pakistan-Afghanistan Relations in the Post-9/11 Era, Visiting Scholar Frederic Grare examines the evolution of the situation in Afghanistan and takes a look at Afghanistan through Pakistan's eyes. In addition, Grare provides policy recommendations for regional relations in a post-U.S. Afghanistan. He suggests that only the end of military rule in Pakistan can clear the way for more stabilized relations with Afghanistan. To achieve these ends, democratizing Pakistan is first and foremost a strategic imperative.

Frederic Grare is a visiting scholar in the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment. He focuses on the tension between stability and democratization in Pakistan.
The Carnegie South Asia Program informs policy debates relating to the region's security, economy, and political development. From the war in Afghanistan to Pakistan's internal dynamics to U.S. engagement with India, the Program's renowned team of experts offer in-depth analysis derived from their unique access to the people and places defining South Asia's most critical challenges.

The purpose of testing may be to:
- Screen those at risk for malabsorption because of an underlying condition such as cystic fibrosis
- Detect malabsorption, identify its underlying cause(s), and evaluate the types and severity of nutrient deficiencies present
- Detect complications such as anemia
- Monitor the effectiveness of treatment in people with malabsorption
There is no single test that can identify malabsorption or the underlying cause. Typically, a doctor will take into account many factors when ordering tests, including results from a physical examination, family history, medical history, and signs and symptoms. Testing will often be performed in steps with results leading toward a diagnosis while ruling out other possible causes. Testing typically involves ordering:
- An initial set of general tests that evaluate body organs, cells, and digestion and that look for a cause for a person's persistent diarrhea, one of the most common symptoms of malabsorption
- Specific follow-up tests that are used to detect or exclude diseases associated with malabsorption and to identify specific deficiencies and/or complications
Laboratory Tests
Initial testing may include:
- Complete blood count (CBC) – to evaluate red blood cells to detect anemia and white blood cells to detect infections
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) – to evaluate proteins, electrolytes, and organ function, including the liver
- Prealbumin – this is used as a marker for protein malabsorption and indicates general nutritional status
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) – to detect inflammation in the body which may be caused, for example, by inflammatory bowel syndrome
- Fecal fat – to detect decreased ability to digest fat
- Stool culture – to detect bacterial infection or bacterial overgrowth as cause of persistent diarrhea
- Ova and parasite examination (O&P) – to detect parasites as cause of persistent diarrhea
- Stool white blood cells – present in some inflammatory intestinal diseases
- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) – to detect or rule out thyroid disease
Based upon initial testing results, the person's symptoms, and the doctor's suspicions, follow-up testing may include one or more of the following:
- Fecal occult blood test – to detect bleeding in the digestive tract
- Levels of vitamin B12, vitamin D, vitamin A – to detect deficiency
- Prothrombin time (PT) – to detect vitamin K deficiency
- Celiac disease tests – to help diagnose this condition
- Cystic fibrosis tests – to detect this disease
- Fecal elastase, trypsin, trypsinogen, amylase, lipase – to evaluate pancreatic function
Tests sometimes ordered include:
- Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) – to detect early vitamin B12 deficiency
- Hydrogen breath test – to detect lactose intolerance and bacterial overgrowth in the digestive system (carbohydrate malabsorption)
- Xylose absorption test – to evaluate carbohydrate digestion
- Lactose absorption test – though this test is primarily used to detect a deficiency in the enzyme lactase (lactose intolerance), it may sometimes be used to identify malabsorption
- Biopsy of the intestine
Non-Laboratory Tests
Testing to examine the digestive tract, liver, and/or pancreas is sometimes necessary and may include:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- CT scan
- Endoscopy
- Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERCP)

Item # SRM0545
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Cranksets in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM XX1 BB30 Crankset - 156 Q-Factor $0.00
SRAM's pursuit of seamless component integration has led to it continually innovating the component industry -- case in point being the XX1 group. As a whole, XX1 works as an efficient machine, but individually, each component plays a vital role in making this group the revolutionary that it is. The XX1 BB30 Crankset with 156mm Q-Factor exemplifies this by providing you with a nearly customized setup and a Zen-like simplicity.
Carbon fiber arms have been mated to a redesigned aluminum spider for a lightweight crank arm that doesn't require a finessing of parts in order to make an optimal single-ring setup. The X-SYNC chainring is designed for maximum chain control, with each tooth being CNC-machined in order to support the chain's inner- and outer-links. This machining process provides a variable thickness from tooth-to-tooth, so the chain and chainring essentially lock together as you pedal. However, the locking of the two doesn't inhibit pedal efficiency, and it eliminates the commonplace ailments associated with running a single-ring up front. Additionally, this system provides you with a liberation from chain guides. SRAM even went as far as to say that you have a better chance of dropping your chain with a front derailleur than you do with the XX1 crank and chain combo.
The new chainring's 76 bolt circle diameter sets it apart from others in the SRAM catalog. This diameter emanated from a functionality standpoint, not as an afterthought of the new, universal spider shape. Its design makes it simple to remove the chainring for either maintenance or ratio changes. Gone are the days of finagling the chainring off of the spider -- just unscrew the bolts, move the chainring off, and you'll have the replacement on in minutes. Even better, SRAM has created six different chainring sizes that are compatible with the XX1 spider. Now, you're able to dial-in your range to match the trail, either beforehand or on-the-fly.
And though the XX1 crankset is designed to work optimally in tandem with the XX1 group, you're able to use the crank and a 10-speed chain in order to enjoy the benefits of running a single-speed or one-by-10 setup.
The SRAM XX1 BB30 Crankset with 156mm Q-Factor is available in the color Black and with either a 170 and 175mm crankarm length. Additionally, each length is available with your choice of a 30, 32, 34, 36 or 38 tooth chainring. Many frames are limited to a 32t middle ring. If you're unsure, please check the manufacturer's recommended chainring spec to avoid compatibility issues.

PDFjam 2.00 Ushers in New Options
Shell scripts are now bourne-compatible
PDFjam, a collection of shell scripts for processing PDF documents, is available in version 2.00 with new functions and options.
More than a simple update, author David Firth fundamentally modified the tools for version 2.00. The main PDFjam script now takes over merging, rotating and reflecting PDF pages, with all other scripts simply wrappers for it. The shell scripts now call a bourne-compatible shell instead of the bash shell.
PDFjam uses pdfLaTex from the PDFpages package by Andreas Matthias. The new release provides easy access to all its functions.
Version 2.00 works with stdin and stdout, which allows it to be used in a pipeline. It also interprets relative paths to the current working directory, behavior common to UNIX utilities. Another new function not found in previous releases is that multiple input files now have two methods of processing: the default being combining pages into a single document, or using the batch option to produce one output file per input file.
Other new features: the --keepinfo option preserves PDF metadata, and many additional output page sizes (such as a4paper and b3paper) can be specified. Many more details (and bug fixes) are in the release notes.
Despite these changes, PDFjam's strength continues to lie in the excellent graphic quality, with the downside that hyperlinks in the source original are lost.
PDFjam is under GPLv2 licensing. A tarball of version 2.00 for Linux/UNIX is available for download, along with packages for Debian, Ubuntu and openSUSE (that are unfortunately not yet updated). The Mac OS X version includes droplets as .dmg files that allow PDF conversion via drag-and-drop, although using the older PDFjam 1.21 version.

So i have a gazelle champion mondial that i've measure the seatpost as a 27.0 with a very lousy set of calipers. and by lousy i mean.... it's marked off to the nearest millimeter. I've seen references here to them having 27.2 mm seatposts. I'm working with a 531 DB tubeset as far as I know and a variant of an AA frame.
Does anyone have one with a 27.0?
i've put a 27.4 at the hole and it comes no where close. the only other thing i have is a 26.something and it's way too small.
