The best cinnamon rolls I've ever ate. Definite recommend. Easy to find in downtown mall. Make sure to get the cream cheese icing.
If it's good enough for Saul Goodman it's good enough for me.
How can you mess up a Cinnabon - warm fresh great icing and good coffee.
Good staff would go back
Very nice baker opened a little before 10am since I waiting. Quality product, big hit with co-worker. Product is rather pricey at about $4 each.
Cinnamon rolls warm from the oven with a caramel and buttery sauce over the top of the frosting with pecans on top??? I thought I had died and gone to heaven....
Believe it or not, this was our first time trying Cinnabon. I didn't realize this location was in the mall, but it ended up being a short walk from our hotel. Once there, we ordered cinnabon sticks, donut holes, the middle of a cinn. roll, and a large cinnamon roll. We also ordered milk and coffee. To be honest, I...
Nicest Wait Gal EVER! We got caught in a HUGE rainstorm and were soaked by the time we found an entrance to the skywalks (which are the best thing for Indy, by the way!!!). We were soaked and decided to laugh it off while we dried out and get a cinnabon to lift our spirits! :) The gals actually said,...
Connected to my usual hotel - so skywalk across to the Circle Center mall and right there is Cinnabon. Same as every location they have - yummy!
I had to leave from the hotel at 5 am for a flight so picked this up the night before for breakfast for the next morning and it was still good - fresh and tasty.
We waited for the fresh buns out of the oven and of course they were delicious. However, the service was poor. The cashier was rude and seemed really annoyed that we wanted to wait for fresh ones.
I get that the kids who work here aren't thrilled to work in the mall and would probably rather be hanging with their friends, but they get paid to do a job. So please act like you've seen me for the 5 minutes I was standing at your counter while you were yapping with your boyfriend who wasn't purchasing anything.

Barbie Mariposa is back for another fairy-filled adventure in the all-new DVD movie Barbie Mariposa and the Fairy Princess. In the all-new adventure, Mariposa becomes the Flutterfield Ambassador and her first official duty as ambassador sends her on a mission to the neighboring kingdom of Shimmervale to restore peace between the two kingdoms. Along the way, the movie instills messages about the power of friendship and more specifically that "the best way to make friends is to be a good friend." Just Play is offering a line of role-play accessories for the film, including these Fluttering Butterfly Shoes. The shoes feature a slight platform with a bit of tread for extra traction. Each shoe features a different character from the movie on the shoe's soles: Princess Catania and Mariposa. With each step your child takes in the shoes the butterfly embellishments flutter.
For Barbie fans looking to act out scenes of the new film or just some new Barbie embellished accessories to add to their collection, we think these are a cute pair of shoes for dress-up. We think little Barbie fans will especially love the fluttering feature of the butterfly embellishments.
The Barbie Mariposa and the Fairy Princess Fluttering Butterfly Shoes are for ages 3 and up.
While size isn't necessarily related to the age of your child, these shoes are about the equivalent to a little girl's size 9 shoe.

Kurt Russell net worth: Kurt Russell is an American actor who has a net worth of $70 million dollars. He has appeared in over 50 films and countless television series throughout his career including hits like Backdraft, Tombstone, Tango & Cash and Tequila Sunrise. Kurt Russell began his career as a child actor in the mid 60s, appearing in television series like The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters. In the 1970s he signed a 10-year contract with the Walt Disney Company, where he became one of the studios top stars. As an adult he has starred in films like Silkwood, Escape from New York, Stargate, Grindhouse, and Poseidon. The actor is also known for his long relationship with actress Goldie Hawn, who he has been with since the year 1983. Prior to his relationship with Goldie Hawn, Russell married actress Season Hubley, whom he met on the set of Elvis in 1979. They had one son together, Boston Russell, in 1980. In 1983, in the middle of his divorce from Hubley, Russell re-connected with Goldie Hawn on the set of the film Swing Shift, and they have been together ever since. They own a home in Palm Desert, California and have one son together named, Wyatt, who was born in 1986 and only a year later, in 1987, the couple starred in the film Overboard together. Goldie Hawn's son and daughter with Bill Hudson, who are also both well-known actors in their own right, Oliver and Kate Hudson, were raised by Russell and consider Russell to be their father even though he is not their biological father. In February 2003, Russell and Hawn moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, so that their son could play hockey. Russell is an FAA licensed private pilot holding single/multi-engine and instrument ratings and is an Honorary Board Member of the humanitarian aviation organization Wings of Hope.

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

Property Details
House, 5 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 12
Enjoy breathtaking views from this beautiful and immaculate year-round Lake Geneva home on one of Wisconsin's prettiest lakefronts. This fully furnished home is located on Lake Como, which is a quiet, non-crowded lake with a shallow bottom and provides 180 degrees of lake viewing.
The lake is approximately 10 feet at it's deepest, so it's a perfect lake for boating, tubing, waterskiing, swimming, fishing and more. In fact, there are World Barefoot Waterski Champions that live and train on the lake!
The house is located just three miles west of Downtown Lake Geneva and all the shopping, entertainment, theaters and restaurants it has to offer. You'll also be steps away from the famous Mars Resort Bar & Restaurant with a piano bar and outdoor seating on the lake. They serve great food in a fun and comfortable setting and have outdoor entertainment occasionally on summer afternoons by the lake, which can be enjoyed from this house! In the evenings, the restaurant is busy, but it's a quiet dining crowd.
The backyard is large and private, with a fence separating the house from the restaurant next door. There's a small private beach and pier with a boat slip to accommodate your own boat or one that you rent during your stay. We have a couple contacts for boat rentals and private water ski schools and would be happy to share them with you. The pier is typically in the water from April-October, depending on the weather.
The home has a wrap around deck with a seating area, outdoor fireplace and a BBQ grill on the first floor and a 2nd floor balcony, all overlooking Geneva National Golf Club, with its three 18 hole championship golf courses. Several more courses are just a short drive away, making the house perfect for golfers---but of course not limited to them. The house is also an ideal destination for weddings, team building, couples, families, and adult groups of friends.
The house has an open floor plan with a kitchen that seats 8, opening to the living room with an additional dining table for 4 and couches, all overlooking the lake. There's a two-sided fireplace, a flat screen television with a DVD player along with a Bose Wave Sound System that can accommodate your music library on your smart phone or a CD.
There are two first floor bedrooms with queen beds in each. There are also three semi-private sleeping areas in the second floor loft with two twin beds in each, for a total of 6 twin beds. There is also a sitting area with a wall mounted flat screen television and a queen-sized sofa sleeper, giving the house a total occupancy of 12. We also have a portable crib and a high chair for those traveling with babies and there is a full size washer and dryer on the second floor. There are also two full bathrooms, one on each level.
This is an amazing home with a great location. Not only will you be in the center of all the fun, but you'll be able to enjoy the most magnificent sunsets in all of Lake Geneva from the house, yard, pier and deck. For the lucky ones staying for the 4th of July, you'll have an unobstructed view of the spectacular Geneva National fireworks display that will take place directly across the lake. You won't have to fight crowds and find parking, but instead will be able to enjoy them from the comfort of this home.
The local resorts have year round activities to keep our visitors busy all year. Winter is a great time to visit, as we are located near two ski hills, with ice fishing on the lake, great cross country skiing, ice skating and sledding nearby. Autumn is a beautiful time, as well, with gorgeous foliage throughout the area including breathtaking views across the lake. There are also orchards for apple picking and many fall and Halloween events to enjoy. Spring, too, is a great time. With the ice gone, Lake Como and Geneva come back to life! There is a strawberry farm for picking up the street and plenty of other fun seasonal things to do and see.

Lovely lake house with spectacular view
Such a Great Lake house...easy breezy feel and comfortable for our 2 families. We had best view of July 3rd fireworks!! Would highly recommend for a vacation or even girls/guys get away! Thanks for a great stay!
Excellent home/property for a family vacation!
The home is inviting, clean, spacious and near many local attractions for young children and adults. The home has everything from kitchen cooking needs, flat screen TVs in each bedroom, board games, internet, and summer activities by the lake. Two toddlers, a 10 month old baby and six adults on a private beach with a big lawn to run around was a plus to choosing this home. There was plenty of room in the home for all of us. Wendy was very accommodating and friendly to work with. I would recommend this home for a vacation.
Early Summer Stay at Lake Como 2016
We rented this house for 5 nights (all adults) to attend our son's wedding at Lake Geneva. The house is just a short drive from Lake Geneva which the landlord told us ahead of time. Both, Wendy and her husband were really easy to work with and extremely accommodating. The house was nice and clean, well stocked and just a joy to stay in. They even had water toys in the basement to use and since the property is right at the lake, it was a lot of fun for even our adult children to use them.
We would recommend this property to any of our friends. BTW - Harry's was an awesome place to have breakfast.
Ulrike and Sheldon from Colorado
Spectacular Lake Retreat
This home is beautifully appointed, well kept and in a great location. The kitchen has everything you could want or need to keep the home chef happy. The rooms were all clean and nicely decorated. We spent almost all our time on the deck and by the lake. The views are beautiful and I don't think I've seen a better spot to watch the sun set.
We are already planning our next stay there! I recommend this whole-heartedly. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Wendy, the Property Manager was great. She showed us specifics that we may not have found on our own. Being next to the Mars Resort was an added bonus; we got to hear great music on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Another great stay!
Cannot speak highly enough of Wendy's rental. Clean, full of needed kitchen supplies, towels, and outdoor activities for a great weekend. We will be back next year!
Great place for large group
-Wendy was awesome to work with--super quick to respond and always very helpful with any questions I had
-Super easy check-in and check-out process (very laid back)
-Property right on the water with lots of water "accessories" to use
-Stayed with a large group of girls for bachelorette party
-Adorable home
-LOVED the 2-way fireplace...that came in handy on the cool nights when we wanted to stay outside and enjoy the view
-Ample parking for ~10 cars
-Close to downtown LG and quick, cheap Uber ride
-Highly recommend!
From the Owner
"Take advantage of the Geneva Lakes area without the congestion of downtown."
Activity and Interests
With quick and easy access to Downtown Lake Geneva, you're just minutes away (3 miles,) yet far enough away to escape its crowds.
There are many great dining and entertainment destinations on Lake Como such as the Mars Resort Piano Bar and Restaurant, Freddie's West End and In the Drink and all are accessable by boat. Year round physical activities are prevalent and include several top golf courses, skiing at Alpine Valley, Wilmot and Grand Geneva, fishing, boating and swimming on Lake Como, Lake Delavan and Geneva Lake.
Autumn is a special time due to the spectacular Fall colors.
There are also two ziplining facilities, bowling alleys, golf, movie theaters, miniature golf, petting zoo and many wonderful shops are within minutes of the house.

We have two pieces of architecture. In essence they form a producer and a consumer. Piece 1 (p1) publishes messages to Piece 2 (p2) which processes the message, this process involves sending the message to a remote node, which must ack the message once it has processed it, this process can take a few seconds at best.
p2 has a finite length in its queue and items are not removed until it receives the ack from the remote node. Due to this p2 can return a QUEUE_FULL response to p1. When p1 receives this response it keeps a queue, whenever a new message is produced it adds it to the end of this queue and then cycles through the queue sending messages to p2 until it once again gets a QUEUE_FULL. The problem here is that once p2's queue is empty/has space it isn't able to notify p1 to produce the messages.
For each instance of producer in p2 there is a corresponding producer in p1, this is important when it comes to the potential solutions below.
One solution could be that p2 could be changed to notify p1 when there is space in its queue, however this solution requires a fair amount of network overhead (http) as it is feasible at any one time many thousands of p2 queues need to notify their corresponding p1 producers.
The other solution could be that p1 could be changed to keep attempting to send the message to p2. The problem with this is that a producer in p1 needs to have a thread that sleeps x before trying to send the next message, clearly there could be a singleton that handles this sleep/retry mechanism however the logic here, as producers and consumers increases to many thousands, gets rather complex;
- synchronization on adding, removing, producers
- reading queues, making next read times
- considerations for tight looping when low producer count
- considerations for long waits when high producer count
- .... etc
I'm close to suggesting a MQ tier where p1 publishes to and p2 reads from. However this introduces a new issue where p2 is not able to notify p1 when the remote node goes away, however this could be handled by a http call back from p2 to p1 - the level of overhead here is acceptable as the chance the remote node goes away is low.
Am I missing a design pattern which would remove the need for an MQ (yet another service to worry about, monitor, etc)? Thoughts much appreciated.
Some other details:
- each p1 producer instance is request scoped for the most part
- each p2 consumer is a dedicated running thread

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2006
Running Time: 113
Director: King Midas
Company: King Midas
Cast: Jasmine Sky, Michelle Tucker, Cuntre, Karma Storm, Wesley Pipes, Qali, Taya Silver
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Guys must tell Michelle Tucker she looks like Beyonce all the time, and Cuntre puts her through the paces in a nice, sweaty fuck to open this disc. Wesley Pipes lays the pipe in the remaining scenes, the best of which include Jasmine Sky, with her fine booty-shaking and deep throat dick sucking, and Karma Storm who does much anal. For viewers who appreciate a more natural-looking black woman, there's also Qali, who's pleasingly thick on top and bottom and has a near-baldhead hairdo.
The female cast is a little light on the star power, but not on enthusiasm. The production is a little on the minimalist side, consisting of couch fucks at someone's house (with a beeping smoke alarm – change the battery, already!) Also on the plus side, the talented Diana DeVoe is credited for "cinematography" (that means she's holding the camera), and as usual captures the action very well.
Retailing: A satisfying selection for admirers of big black booty.

My husband has tried them, and he says that they just aren't the same as cigarettes (which I'm not surprised by... after all, they aren't cigarettes). For the most part, he said, they give the same feeling.

I see these cigarettes and kind of chuckle cause I can just image what my dad would say about them. My dad would say that if he wanted smoke air he would but that he liked to smoke cigarettes instead. He smoked cigarettes right up til the very end of his life. He started smoking when he was nine years old and he said that was when smoking was cool. But he told me and my brothers and sister tht if we smoked he would kick our butts.

There are many versions of this on the market today. I have one and it too is expensive, not very satisfying, tastes funny, leaves an aftertaste in your mouth and can still give you cancer of the mouth. The filter tip that goes on it is supposed to last for the day and it does not. You have to have two of the units so that you have one to smoke while the other is charging and if you are a pack smoker a day a single box of tips will only last you for about 2 days. Each box costs about 10 dollars each and makes it about 40 dollars every 8 days. It doesn't save you much in money and will only help save you from the bad smell, infocema, and cancer if you can make yourself stick to using it without smoking any real cigaretts. I have been smoking for 50 years and only one pack a day. I bought the whole works including the backup unit and it didn't work for me.

text: 3. Best Buy French Fried Best Buy ( BBY) shareholders are feeling anything but jolly - or Joly - these days. The flailing electronics retailer named Hubert Joly, the former head of hospitality and travel company Carlson, as its new CEO on Monday. Joly will take the reins from interim CEO Mike Mikan, who took the baton from former CEO Brian Dunn in April after Dunn was busted for engaging in an improper relationship with a female employee. Note to the French national Joly: Don't follow Dunn's example when it comes to the old joie de vivre. Let's keep that in our pants, shall we? That said, judging by the 10% selloff in the stock Monday, it's clear that Best Buy shareholders are feeling no love for Joly. As to how this background prepares him for selling stereos and flat panel TVs in strip malls, clearly shareholders have no idea and are voting with their feet. For that matter, we don't get the choice either, but who knows, maybe Joly has a ton of je ne sais quoi hidden somewhere and we're just missing it. Or maybe Best Buy's board is betting he can turnaround Best Buy like he did EDS in France, now part of Hewlett Packard ( HPQ), and Vivendi's video game business, now part of Activision Blizzard ( ATVI). Unfortunately, both of those reclamation projects took place in France over a decade ago before Apple ruled the earth. So, once again, we can understand the lack of l'amour fou surrounding the Frenchman's appointment. (Or as they say around Best Buy's headquarters in Richfield, Minn., autres temps, autres m¿urs.) Then again, it's not like Best Buy investors are in a mad rush to jump back in bed with the chain's founder Richard Schulze. Schulze announced his plan earlier this month to team up with private equity partners and buy the company for $24 to $26 per share. The Street, however, doesn't seem to take his offer seriously. Or at least they won't until he puts more skin in the game, which is why the stock now resides below $18. As for Best Buy's board, well, they have to take Schulze somewhat seriously considering he is the company's largest shareholder. Nevertheless, at this juncture they are looking forward to Joly as a potential savior, rather than backwards for another go-around with Schulze. The company, which, by the way, posted a 90% drop in net income on Tuesday, said Schulze declined its offer to take a buyout offer directly to shareholders. Schulze, of course, claims otherwise. Honestly, while we are scratching our heads over the selection of Joly, we certainly agree with the board that le temps, c'est de l'argent and they need to start saving the company instead of dealing with Schulze, who has turned himself into (pardon our French) a huge pain in the ass.

A Simple Observation
The logical conclusion of militarist nationalism (often called "patriotism") is always, in one way or another, a "Final Solution."
Set foot on that road, and you will get there. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in this generation -- but you will get there. The blood-and-iron logic of domination -- of self-assertion and self-aggrandizement at the expense of all others -- will take you there.
The choice is simple, the choice is stark, the choice is laid upon us all.

Since work has kept Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey apart lately—she's been on the Dukes of Hazzard set in Baton Rouge; he's been in L.A. shooting an episode of ABC's Hope & Faith—the AMAs gave the couple a chance for a mini-reunion. Walking down the red carpet, Lachey told us their new trick for bridging the distance. "I send her dirty text messages," he said. Laughed Simpson: "I think it's cute." Postshow the pair joined Simpson's sister Ashlee for some partygoing before ending up at Guy's to listen to jazz until 2 a.m.
Record mogul Clive Davis held a post-AMA party at the Esquire House in Beverly Hills, but it looked more like the Love Shack, with Janet Jackson wrapped in Jermaine Dupri's arms, Josh Groban cuddling poolside with Love Actually's January Jones, and singer John Mayer guiding British actress Rhona Mitra (Boston Legal) through the party with his hand on her back. Although 'N Syncer JC Chasez shared a lingering, hands-on-her-bottom hug with Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria, he's still coy about their relationship, saying only, "Life is good." Meanwhile a solo Jamie Foxx flirted with several women, entering one brunet's digits directly into his cell phone.
Forget the rabbit hole. Guests at Gwen Stefani's Alice in Wonderland-themed CD release party after the AMAs stepped into a private elevator and zipped up 13 stories for a rooftop soiree at L.A.'s downtown Standard hotel. Award-winners Alicia Keys and Sheryl Crow joined Pamela Anderson, Christina Applegate and husband Jonathan Schaech, Anthony Kiedis and reality king Mark Burnett to nosh on bite-size cupcakes, cookies and pumpkin pies while the video for her first solo single, "What You Waiting For?," was projected on the wall of a neighboring building. "It's been a really long, fun day," said Stefani, who opened the telecast by performing the single. "I hope it never ends." She and husband Gavin Rossdale then hit the floor and danced for an hour to Beyoncé, R. Kelly and Stefani's own remixes.
HOUSE OF BLUES, L.A. At midnight Lenny Kravitz unwinds from the AMAs with an acoustic jam session with Prince, playing along to DVDs of Ray Charles and Prince's 2004 tour before an invite-only crowd of 40, including Elijah Wood and Less Than Perfect's Zachary Levi. Prince is still partying at 5 a.m....
KOI, L.A. Island Def Jam Records throws a dinner celebrating Bon Jovi's AMA Award of Merit. Kelly Osbourne, Kravitz and Ashlee Simpson swing by the hot spot to congratulate the band....
TEEN PEOPLE PARTY, KEY CLUB, L.A. Party-hopper of the night Ashlee Simpson tells us she cut off her long hair for a role in the comedy Wannabe. Later her pal Bijou Phillips causes a fuss when a bouncer won't let the actress return to her table without a VIP wristband. Phillips tries to crawl under his legs and screams, "You don't know who I am!" So the bouncer picks her up and carries her out of the club on his shoulder.

Richard Curtis has been associated with some of the greatest and most iconic British films and TV sitcoms in British history.
A New Zealander by birth who lived in various locales due to his father's business commitments, Curtis attended Oxford University's Christ Church College, where he majored in English and met graduate student Rowan Atkinson. The two quickly became creative partners, leading to a hit performance at 1979's Edinburgh Festival that brought the pair notice and an offer for the BBC-2 series "Not the Nine O'Clock News". Written by Curtis and Atkinson and starring Atkinson alongside a cast including future director Mel Smith, this irreverent and influential sketch comedy program ran from 1979 to 1982.
In 1983, Curtis and Atkinson teamed up to write the 15th Century set comedy "The Black Adder", starring Atkinson as an unsavory son of King Richard IV. The series would be reborn in 1986, with co-writer Ben Elton collaborating with Curtis as "Blackadder II", starring Atkinson alongside Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth I as a lord of her court, a direct descendant of the original series' subject, and equally as slimy and scheming.
The following year, Elton and Curtis created "Black Adder the Third", this time with Atkinson playing the butler of Hugh Laurie's Prince Regent in a French Revolution-era England. 1988's special "Black Adder's Christmas Carol" featured Atkinson as old Ebenezer, alongside such British luminaries as Robbie Coltrane, Miriam Margolyes and Stephen Fry as well as series veterans Tony Robinson, Hugh Laurie and Miranda Richardson. In 1989, Atkinson and company completed the (to date) last installment, "Blackadder Goes Forth". Also penned by Elton and Curtis, this chapter starred Captain Blackadder, battling on the frontlines of northern France during World War I.
While 1989 seemingly marked the end of Blackadder, the partnership of Curtis and Rowan Atkinson was far from over. In addition to a featured role in Curtis' feature screenwriting debut, "The Tall Guy" (1989), Atkinson starred in the screenwriter's next television undertaking, a project quite unlike anything else he had previously written. "Mr. Bean", featuring Atkinson as a virtually mute somewhat misanthropic fool, began its run on Britain's ITV in 1990.
As the program featured little or no dialogue in any given episode, Curtis established a new way of writing for the series. He would formulate Bean's gestures, movements and reactions in front of a mirror and present them visually to Rowan Atkinson. A tremendous hit in England, the show ran until 1995, and aired in the USA on HBO and PBS and spawned the film "Bean/Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie" (1997). The latter, written by Curtis and directed by Mel Smith, proved a record-breaking international hit before opening to smaller returns in the USA.
Atkinson was also featured in Curtis' 1991 British TV movie comedy "Bernard and the Genie". Additional television projects included "The Vicar of Dibley" , a comedy created, produced and written by Curtis, starring comedienne Dawn French (co-creator of "Absolutely Fabulous" and frequent collaborator with Jennifer Saunders) as a female cleric serving a small town.
Despite his prolific and exceptional small screen successes, Curtis is perhaps best known on American shores as the screenwriter of a trilogy of similarly themed romantic comedies: "The Tall Guy", "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill". All three films were somewhat eccentric in viewpoint and cynical in tone but ultimately sweet and optimistic in scope. "Four Weddings and a Funeral" proved a huge hit earning the screenwriter Oscar and BAFTA nominations and jump-started the Hollywood career of star Hugh Grant.
Five years later Curtis reteamed on "Notting Hill", a tale of an unsuccessful bookshop owner in the titled London district who meets up with and is pursued by a beautiful and charming woman who happens to be terribly famous American actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts).
Curtis next turned novelist Helen Fielding's much-beloved bestseller Bridget Jones' Diary into screenplay form, resulting in the equally admired 2001 film of the same name, directed by Sharon Maguire and returned as the screenwriter for the 2004 sequel "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason".
Curtis made his directorial debut with the much acclaimed "Love Actually" (2003), another romantic comedy featuring an ensemble of Brit actors, including Grant, Atkinson, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley and Colin Firth (as well as Laura Linney, Liam Neeson and others) in holiday themed, multistory confection that explored several different intertwining romantic predicaments.
Curtis returned as writer/director of "The Boat that Rocked", that he recut for U.S. audiences as Pirate Radio, set in the mid-60s and exploring the misfits and music played on a radio based at sea amidst British political conservatism. Curtis talked to PAUL FISCHER in this exclusive interview.
Question: Now, when I was talking to Bill Nighy earlier this week and asked him about Pirate Radio and the film's negative reaction by British critics, he felt that you are the victim of the sort of tall poppy syndrome. I was wondering why you think that is.
Curtis: Well, I don't know and I don't think about it too much. I mean, I think that on the whole, as you will see in this movie, I tend to be of a rather optimistic and happy nature and now that I'm getting older, I'm pouring it on in spades. You know, I knew I was asking for trouble with Love Actually, where there were ten love stories in one. I think a lot of critics, when they watch films, tend to have more time for the serious. Six of them sit down in the morning on a miserable day, and if the film tells them the world is wretched, that only confirms their suspicions whereas if the film tells them that everyone else is happy apart from them, it's not so good.
Question: With Pirate Radio, was it the music, or the idea of doing something with a lot of '60s music classics, that was the kind of inspiration for this story?
Curtis: Well, it was a mixture, you know? I've always wanted to do something about pop music, but I didn't want to do a film where the guy starts a band, and then ends up injecting heroin into his eyeballs. And then one day I was thinking how potentially funny pirate radio was. Because if you think of – you know, the eight most famous deejays in the world, and then they're living and working in one corridor, the idea of sort of eight megalomaniacs in a confined space struck me as being a very funny idea. So I thought, "Well, here's a subject I want to write about, and a funny thing I'd like to write." So, it was the magic mixture that made me think it was worth spending my time on.
Question: I mean, clearly the inspiration for this was more of these pirate radios. Like Nighy said, it seems to him to be just a great excuse to pile a lot of jokes together within this particular social milieu.
Curtis: Well, I've also been very interested, always in friendship, and how that operates. And in a funny I mean, obviously it's a film about radio. It's a film about the music which I love, but it's also a film about every flat that you move into when you're 20, when you move into a badly-decorated, over-crowded flat with bad food, where one person has sex with everybody, and one person's never had sex with anybody, you know. And you all play music all day and night. So, it's sort of about a lot of things, which is what you want to do when you write a film. You want to feel as though you're covering lots of bases.
Question: Talk about the choices you made about the movie, and how difficult it was for you to get them – for example, is there any music that you really kicked yourself over, that you could not get the rights?
Curtis: Well, some of the songs were locked into the scripts already, so I I called a girl Eleanor just so that when she arrived we could play "Eleanor" by the Turtles. There is a really interesting sort of mysterious magic between music and celluloid. You think this is your favorite song of all time. You put it next to the best scene in the film, and they don't work together, because, unexpectedly, the song you love is a bit melancholy, or doesn't reach its good bit for 40 seconds, and in fact it's only a 25-second cue. So, it's a really interesting thing. I had a pool of about 300 songs I loved, and there were a lot of surprises, to me, with songs that worked or didn't work.
Question: Now, when you did the re-cut of this – first of all, how reticent were you to re-cut the movie? And how much backwards and forwards was it between you and Focus, when Focus took it over?
Curtis: Very little. We made an agreement to cut the film down a bit. Just one or two reviews had said it's a bit long and that always really puts me off a film. Even films I really want to see. The Dark Knight, Watchmen, it took me half a year to see those two films, just because in the back of my mind, I'd read that thing about being a bit long. So, I didn't want to, as it were, bother with that, so I said, "What I'll do is, I'll just spend a day in the editing room, and be really bold, and take out anything which I can see could go." And I think I immediately took out 17 minutes or something. And then we tested that version. And I said, "If, when we show it, I suddenly find the film is worse, then we'll just have to go with the old one." But it actually – there was more – how would you put it? More energy left in the room at the end of the movie than I remembered the last time I'd seen it in the UK. Because it was – it did bounce along even better. So I was happy to do it.
Question: What about the change of title?
Curtis: I'm kind of used to that. It comes with the territory throwing things up in the air, because, for instance, it was called Good Morning, England, in France. And I remember Notting Hill was called Coup de Foudre a Notting Hill, which is not a title I like. And the moment they said, "Well, why don't we call it Pirate Radio," I thought, "Well, actually, I love that. I wouldn't have called it that in England, because Pirate Radio would be too generic. It would be like calling a movie The Post Office. But I loved having "pirate" and "radio". Those are the two things.
Question: Now, when you made the transition from television to film, and it was Four Weddings and a Funeral, the script of that, that really put you on a whole different level – that movie cost about 4 million pounds. How surprised were you that that film struck such an inestimable chord?
Curtis: I mean, that was a total surprise. I've seen the little bit of paper from Polygram that said how much they predicted the movie would make in every territory. And next to United States, it says, "$0." So it was one of those movies. You know, actually – to be honest, I thought I was writing a different kind of film. I was trying to write a little, personal autobiographical film, a bit like Gregory's Girl, or this great American cycling movie called Breaking Away. And it turned out I'd written a romantic comedy. But that was not quite what I thought I was doing. So, it was a great pleasure. And then, of course, it was the breakout for Hugh as well, which helped us hugely.
Question: Has there always been a romantic in you?
Curtis: Yeah, is the truth. I've always been in love much too much. It's quite interesting, when we were doing Love Actually, we were auditioning for the little boy's part. And I would say to all the ten-year-olds who came in, you know, "Have you ever been in love?" And they'd go, "No. What – no!" Whereas I was so in love at four, and seven, and ten. So, my life had always been totally haunted, crippled, and then laminated by love. So, I think it has been a huge bit of my life.
Question: You're responsible for some of the most iconic television shows in British television. Have you ever been interested in revisiting any of those shows theatrically such as Black Adder?
Curtis: No, not really. I mean, I think the reason Black Adder worked out is because we were all very argumentative. We argued about every line. We tried to make every line funnier. I think we're all too old. It would be a sort of infamous mass slaughter if we started to work together again. I don't think so.
Question: What would you like to do next? I mean, I know you've written a script that Susanne Bier is directing.
Curtis: Oh, yeah. Do you know, when I finish one film, I tend to start about three others, because I work so slowly, that I've got a bunch of ideas, and then I have a go, and I write the first 30 to 40 pages. So, I'm at that stage at the moment. I'm trying something that's an adaptation of a book, and another film more like the other ones I've written before as well as another film that's a bit more like The Girl in the Café. I don't know if you ever saw that.
Question: Oh I love The Girl in the Café.
Curtis: I'm delighted. Well, there may be another one of those. The Boy in the Café will be coming your way soon.
Question: How do you have time and are you still heavily-involved in all your various social causes?
Curtis: Well, I think one of the reasons that I like to do movies I'm so passionate about, like this one, is because I don't have as much time to do my writing as I used to, because I'm spending a bit more time on charities and other things.
Question: And are you finding the world a more optimistic place?
Curtis: I don't know. It comes and goes, doesn't it? Great triumphs in the area of some health things, you know? Very good stuff on malaria, very good stuff on polio. So, there are good things, and then there are bad things. I mean, I think the climate change issue is becoming huge.
Question: Do you think that will be your prime minister's legacy, his passionate fight?
Curtis: I think that is one of the great things that he's done and certainly his debt relief has worked, which Gordon Brown did in 2005. So one of the legacies is that the Conservative Party, if they take over, they're going to keep the levels of aid up. But I think we've got to go on thinking. You've got to go on with your work. I think it's a time for – particularly for Africa, to listen to African voices, and try and get growth there, instead of trying to impose aid from us.
Question: Finally, were you involved in the Blu-Ray of Love Actually at all?
Curtis: I don't know. I'm worried now that I should have been doing a new commentary. Even though, actually, the commentary on the DVD when Hugh was being rude about Colin Firth from beginning to end is one of my favorite things about Love Actually, if you haven't ever heard that. He keeps going on about Colin Firth's turkey neck. He says Colin – if you notice, Colin Firth always wears polo necks now in movies. [LAUGHTER]

Very useful information. Now I'll have to try it to see if it really works. Habla espanol? No comprendo!
+Bill Diamond I'd say if you can think in a language, then you are fluent in it. That is no translation between primary & secondary languages required
Rue Mara
I know I have it, when I think in it and forget my english for a bit. but there's no one to speak a foreign language with here. I live in small town america.
+Bill Diamond I did not see where he said he stuck with only 400 vocabulary words. There are several stages mentioned in the article.
Joy McFadden
Excellent article. Really wanting to learn Spanish, but it's kickin my butt so far =(
+Bill Diamond 400 words was the basic flash card introduction in step 2. By the end of stage 4 the target is several thousand words. He doesn't say that the 400 words from the flash cards is sufficient for C1 fluency. In fact he says that even 2000 words, while covering around 80%, is not enough for fluency.
From following the link to his website, I found that his fluency was graded through Middlebury Language Schools.

Ok, I'm skeptical. There's nothing astoundingly revolutionary about his technique (basically four stages: basics, vocab flashcards, reading/writing/listening studies, then full-time vocal immersion -- all while avoiding english as much as possible). Yet he claims a much faster rate of learning than any other language learning program I've seen (from beginner to C1 or "advanced" proficiency in 6 months!?.
+Bill Diamond He does mention that you add to the vocab flashcards over time, starting around 400 and moving up to around 5000, plus additional "passive" vocab from reading studies. But like you I am skeptical as to actually being able to go from rank beginner to C1 in such a short time, even with full-time intense studying.
Oh and who would have thought, he's working on a book: http://www.towerofbabelfish.com/Tower_of_Babelfish/The_Book.html Chalk this up to early marketing/hype generation.

While I am by no means an expert, I have been teaching myself Spanish for the last few years, and I can honestly say that the most important thing when it comes to success is confidence and motivation. Nothing else will help you. You can make Anki decks of 10,000 words, buy every level of Rosetta Stone, even hire a private tutor, but none of it will do anything for you if you don´t have the motivation and desire to go out there and use the language. I have read every article out there by someone who learned 5 languages in a year and I have no doubt that it is possible, but there are no magic tricks and no easy solutions. If you want to learn another language, you have to dedicate yourself to it. This does not mean transforming your whole life around. It just means you have to put in the effort. Good luck.
Khadijah Latiff
ditto James. I've been teaching myself Spanish and Greek, and in HS i had Arabic and German (both lost in youth and cheating on tests). The revolutionary 'method' is actually immersing yourself in it. I agree with the recommendation to watch TV shows that you already like that is dubbed in target language. I like kids shows like sesame street, dexters lab, because I already know the context. now I just have to listen for the words. I need to write more. I like his recommendation to write even boring things like grocery lists. I should do that more often. it's all about motivation
I always write my grocery list in Spanish....sometimes makes things a little tricky when I am wandering the aisles...hahaha...but you're right...any way that you can add the language to your day will help. I have a Spanish blog that I write in several times a week. It's probably not perfect, but it has helped me greatly!
Nice I am learning malaysian for my online suami cinta for a game called Perfect World thru Citacat it is a great online tool to learn malaysian!
Im learning french right now, but i know korean, english, spanish, sign language, and chinese.

This paper describes rapidly converging algorithms for computing attenuation maps from Poisson transmission measurements using penalized-likelihood objective functions. We demonstrate that an under-relaxed cyclic coordinate-ascent algorithm converges faster than the convex algorithm of Lange (see ibid., vol.4, no.10, p.1430-1438, 1995), which in turn converges faster than the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for transmission tomography. To further reduce computation, one could replace the log-likelihood objective with a quadratic approximation. However, we show with simulations and analysis that the quadratic objective function leads to biased estimates for low-count measurements. Therefore we introduce hybrid Poisson/polynomial objective functions that use the exact Poisson log-likelihood for detector measurements with low counts, but use computationally efficient quadratic or cubic approximations for the high-count detector measurements. We demonstrate that the hybrid objective functions reduce computation time without increasing estimation bias

The McLaren driver raced for the works Honda team from 2006-2009, and with the Japanese manufacturer's engines for three seasons before that.
Button believes that the revival of the McLaren-Honda partnership is also positive for the sport.
"McLaren Honda: I know how much passion, success and pride are encapsulated within just those two words," said Button.
"That's why I'm so thrilled and excited about what is not only a fantastic opportunity for the team but also a great development for Formula 1 fans and the sport as a whole.
"I grew up watching McLaren-Honda Formula 1 cars racing and winning around the world - they wrote their own glorious chapter of F1 history.
"Even now, picturing those unmistakable red-and-white cars evokes vivid memories of some of the most dramatic and exciting motor-racing the world has ever seen."
Button, who claimed Honda's first win as a full works operation for 39 years in the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix, paid tribute to Honda's passion for motorsport.
He believes that the Japanese manufacturer is ideally suited to the challenge of the new 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines.
"I've already enjoyed a long and successful working relationship with Honda," he said.
"I know exactly how passionate Honda is a about motorsport, and Formula 1 in particular.
"The challenge set by Formula 1's new technical regulations provides Honda with the perfect opportunity to return to the pinnacle of motorsport."

Alternatives to Estrogen?
Is there any data on the safety of bio-identical hormones for someone whose mother had breast cancer post-menopause that was contained and estrogen-receptor positive? Also, what is considered short-term therapy when using bio-identical hormones?
Answer (Published 7/25/2005)
Bio-identical estrogen is a plant-based hormone that closely approximates a woman's natural estrogen and is believed safer and more natural than traditional estrogen replacement therapy for such menopausal symptoms as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. As you may know, in 2002 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shut down a huge study on the risks and benefits of post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy because preliminary results revealed an unacceptable risk of breast cancer, strokes and heart attacks. These risks were associated with therapy that included both estrogen and the hormone progestin. Two years later, the NIH shut down another arm of the study that was looking into the benefits and risks of estrogen replacement therapy (no progestin was used) after preliminary findings showed that the hormone increased the risk of stroke. Estrogen alone did not increase the risk of breast cancer, at least not for the duration of the study.

Although I have never believed that menopause is a disease, or that all postmenopausal women need hormone replacement therapy, I have recommended low doses of bio-identical hormones such as Estrace, Bi-Est, and Tri-Est to women who need reliable short-term relief from frequent and intense hot flashes and from vaginal dryness that makes sex uncomfortable. While bio-identical hormones are assumed to be safer than traditional hormone replacement therapy, they still provide estrogen and may increase the risk of breast cancer. To put your personal risk into perspective: If your mother was the only woman in your family to have breast cancer and developed it after menopause, your personal risk is 50 percent higher than what it would be normally. That sounds much more alarming than it is. Here's an example: of all the women age 50 with only one first-degree relative - mother, sister or daughter - who had breast cancer, 9.8 percent will develop the disease by age 80. That means more than 90 percent of those with a single affected relative won't get breast cancer - not bad odds. Compare that with the fact that of all 50 year-old women with no affected relatives, 6.1 percent will develop breast cancer by age 80.
Still, if I were you, I would avoid any form of estrogen. Instead, you could try black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), which appears to be safe for women who have had breast cancer or have a family history of the disease. Studies so far have not found that black cohosh has estrogenic effects. While it seems to work well to quell hot flashes in some women, it doesn't help everyone.
On the conventional medicine front, a study published in the January 2005 issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that the antidepressant Effexor seems to be effective in treating hot flashes in healthy women. An earlier study from the Mayo Clinic found that the anti-seizure drug gabapentin relieved the frequency of hot flashes by 66 percent and also lessened their intensity.

AWESOME!! I made these for Christmas gifts and they were delicious. I definitely won't wait till next Christmas to make them again.
I'm not sure why other reviewers didn't love this... I thought these biscotti were really great. I love how every biteful has a bunch of nuts and fruit in it. I baked these for holiday cookies, and everyone raved about them; in fact, I am writing this review making a second batch in 48 hours! [Edit] This is my go-to biscotti recipe. I make it every holiday season. It is wonderful! I sometimes add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract to the batch as well.
OMG this is EXACTLY what Biscotti's are all about! Dense and chock full of yummy goodies. My family and friends were impressed and went gaga over these. Thank you M&Mers!!
These were only OK. They turned out very dense and chunky for my taste. I made several other biscotti recipes from Recipezaar the same day, all of which were superior to these.

Very nice watch... I own several as I think of them as jewelry, and this one is exceptionally nice. Simple looking, but dressy. Love the gold tone with the navy band.
The watch is very beautiful. I bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she loved it. She also said that the strap was very comfortable, unlike most other watches that she owned. It appears larger on the picture, so make sure to check the dimensions in the description. It is not the most sophisticated watch, but it looks very modern and I, personally, loved the combination of blue and gold.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Make sure to check the dimensions. I expected the watch to be bigger by looking at the picture

Elvis Costello at Hard Rock Live April 25
Last September, erudite Englishman, ex-punk, and eyewear enthusiast Elvis Costello was forced to postpone his globe-spanning Spectacular Spinning Songbook tour, including a South Florida show, "due to matters pertaining to the very serious illness of a close family member."
Costello's camp was secretive about the identity of the ill loved one. But it was soon revealed that the singer-songwriter's dad, Ross MacManus, had been ailing. He died at the age of 84 last November 24. And now in honor of Elvis's late pops, the Spectacular Spinning Songbook tour continues, finally landing at Hard Rock Live this Wednesday.
Starring Elvis, backing band the Imposters, and the Songbook Wheel, this road show is a musical extravaganza that sort of seems like a vaudevillian version of The Price Is Right. The hype men describe the tour as a "unique and colorful carnival-style stage show [that] invites select fans to join Costello onstage to spin the Songbook Wheel, featuring a collection of 40 banners including hits, rarities, and a few surprises. This interactive and entertaining experience ensures a new set at each performance."
For his part, though, Costello would probably just say it's a whirlingly awesome time dedicated to his dad. Oh, and it sometimes results in spontaneous marriage proposals. Really.
