Glad to hear all the replies to Bonnie's question! I received a rugosa
rose in a plant exchange a couple of days ago and intend to put it in
the ground today. Nice to think it has a fighting chance <s>!
I'm attending another exchange tonight, though I wonder if most plants
will take kindly to being moved in autumn weather??? We are having warm
days in the sixties and seventies, but chill nights in the forties. I
know grasses, mums, and coneflowers don't mind being moved now, but what
about other plants? Is there a way to generalize what will transplant
happily in fall, based on season of bloom?

I need help managing my image. Externally, I mean. Internally, I'm happy with how I "look," so to speak, but externally, I feel like a total slob. It might sound a little arrogant, but I'd like if my appearance, fashion-wise, could be as cool as I think I am...
The problem is, I'm totally clueless about dressing myself. I know what looks good on other people, however when it comes to my own clothes, I always find myself unsatisfied. My body shape is kind of odd in that I'm a bit taller than average, slim, and very top heavy. I don't feel comfortable in tops that show off my cleavage, nor in bottoms that reveal too much of my long legs. I also dislike baggy clothes, or clothes that cover up too much. No matter what I'm wearing, either I feel like I'm being unprofessional and revealing too much of my body or unfeminine because I'm completely covered up in something unflattering.
The clothes I'm most comfortable in are skinny jeans and men's white undershirts: in that sort of outfit, my legs get accentuated a little, and the curves on my chest are neither completely invisible nor directly in anyone's face. But I know I can't wear those clothes out, and to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed of them. I want to look like a put-together, confident woman. My clothes don't do me justice, and it's completely my own fault.
I don't really like accessories, make-up, or cute hairstyles. I've always been pretty tomboyish, in the sense that I don't like to spend too much time getting ready; I'm definitely a throw-it-on-and-go kind of girl. I like dresses and skirts, but I feel like they show too much of my body, so I can't really wear them. I also like to feel like I can run if I need to (what if there's a spontaneous butterfly that needs chasing?), so skirts that are too long or too tight are no good for me.
To me, my body is a very private thing. I love showing myself off to my partner, but I don't want the world staring at me and seeing too much. At the same time, I want to look the best that I can, and I know that at this point I just don't. How can I dress myself better? Please give me some advice.
Do you have any fashion advice for this person? Let them know in the comments

Your Golf Game
Handicap Index
kris0 replied to 2bGood's topic in Golf TalkPlayed a day after - had to try my Xmax gift :-) Chilly, but course wasn't too bad (Seattle area).
kris0 posted a topic in Golf TalkJust got an ad for what seems to be a perfect handicap phone app. It's kind of like other handicap trackers / course handicap calculators, except A. it calculates handicaps for multiple players, and B. always has your latest handicap index (must be reading from ghin website or something). Link: http://www.contorra....in-tracker.html , the app is called Ghin Tracker. Looks pretty cool, BUT (!) it's only for Android :-( So... does anyone know if something like that exists for iPhone? Has anyone used the android version, is it working ok for you?
kris0 posted a topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.Does anyone have Nike Zoom Bandon shoes? How waterproof are they in real life? What about comfort and performance? Thanks!
kris0 replied to kris0's topic in Golf TalkThanks Middies, that's what I need. Also someone pointed me at an iphone app: http://www.contorra.com/golf-course-...alculator.html . Just installed it, works pretty well, even without internet connection (which can be spotty around here). No bells or whistles, but I can live with that. And it's free, at least right now.
kris0 posted a topic in Golf TalkNewbie here, sorry if I mixed up topics or that's a faq. So I finally posted enough scores to establish handicap index. Now I want to calculate my course handicap whenver I play. I know the formula but hate to punch the numbers and do the rounding every time. It has to be simpler than that. What do people use for that? I have iPhone and figured there should be an "app for that", but I don't see anything free available. I don't want to pay for some bigger app where I don't use most of the functions. Any advice?
kris0 replied to sungho_kr's topic in Tour TalkTiger, by all means.
kris0 replied to iacas's topic in Golf Talk(almost) made par 5 green in two after hitting a nice draw with 3 wood, and then a long downhill 3 hybrid.
kris0 replied to iacas's topic in Golf Talk97 Was tracking to under 90 until bombing the last 3 holes. 8 on the final par 3 - the ball got wet twice.

This review is from: Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 1000W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification and Semi-Modular Cables
Pros: Worked great for as long as I had it. Running a quad core CPU, 8 GB RAM, gtx 460 GPU, 3 sata HDD's (1 10k RPM raptor). Bought mine in early 2010...
Cons: ...and it died in early 2013. I guess 3 years or less is about the shelf life now of most PSU's. I was able to RMA it to Coolermaster, but then they sent me a DOA one on arrival. I wish they were more reliable. They left no documentation on what to do if the replacement was DOA. :(
Other Thoughts: It would have been nice if this product lasted at least 5 years or more, which is about the life of most average PC's these days. Instead it only lasted about 3 years, which is quite disappointing. I've had older PSU's last longer than this one did. :(READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Cooler Master GX - 750W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification
Pros: Was a great power supply for as long as it worked. Ran a quad core system 8 GB of RAM with a gtx 460 card and 3 sata hdd's (one of them 10k RPM).
Cons: died after 3 years of use, and when I RMA'd it to Coolermaster, they sent me a DOA one in return. I have no clue how to get the DOA one back to them as I don't know what I need to input on their web site. :(
Other Thoughts: I've had many PSU's over the years, and most last more than 3 years. Just seems like the quality is not as good these days as it used to be.READ FULL REVIEW

Kim Kardashian regrets posing nude for Playboy. But that doesn't mean she won't pose nude again. And again. Today there are photos circulating from her nude cover shoot for W Magazine's art issue. Are the gratuitous? Maybe. But they also prove how hard Kim is campaigning to position herself as the poster celebrity for the crusade against overly skinny women in magazines.
Everyone knows that celebrities get photoshopped. But increasingly, people are getting upset about the way that images of celebrities and models are presented to young girls. Even the Girl Scouts have taken a break from selling cookies to speak out against overly skinny models getting photoshopped.
While Kim Kardashian denies having had any plastic surgery, it seems obvious by now that she's had a nose job. Are the rumors about her boob job and butt enhancements true too? That seems less clear. But regardless, the most famous Kardashian definitely presents a different female model from the norm when she poses in photos without her clothes on.
And she's fully embraced that notion. When she posed without airbrushing for the May issue of Harper's Bazaar, she told the magazine:
"I might have a little bit of cellulite. I might not be toned everywhere. I might struggle in this area or that. But accepting that just empowers me."
In the NSFW photos for W, she's covered only in silver paint. And the images present a stark contrast to the nude and semi-nude fashion models that normally grace such magazines.
Now, does it makes sense to have her on the cover of W's "art issue'? That's another story.
UPDATE: Help Crushable settle an office debate. Has Kim Kardashian had plastic surgery? And if so, how much?

Nice Colt -

My Pocketlite prefers Winchester SXTs. From a rest at 7 yards, they make one ragged hole.
I've shot all the high performance rounds I can find thru it: Golden Sabers, Cor-Bons, you name it.
SXTs are totally reliable and the most accurate in this particular gun.
YMMV one hell of a lot.
Nice. I like the Kimber Ultra Carry better.
One shot. One kill.
Primary Carry - Taurus PT-111 Mil Pro 9mm DAO with 12 + 1 in the pipe. Holstered in a Brigade OWB M2.
Secondary Weapon - Taurus PT1911 5" 45acp SA with 8+1. Holstered in a Kydex paddle.
Damn nice;Originally Posted by badgerw
The both of them, & I believe I'm the one that asked for the picks. I've a .380 Blued Gov't Model w/ real Antique Ivory Grips w/ Antique Bronze Medallions. Haven't been able to bare the thought of firing it yet though!
Very nice,
Thank you for the pics...

I had one many years ago , blued and not to long after they came out , never could adjust to carrying it cocked and locked in a pocket so i sold it . Back then i dont belive i had eaver heard of or considered a pocket holster tho .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .

Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
Congrats. Very nice indeed. ...A Range Report on the Mustang would really tickle our fancy.
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
+1 on the Mustang.
I've always loved the look of that gun.
Enjoy it, I know I would!
+1 on the little gun. My wife carries mine every day!!!
It favors the Honady Custom 90gr XTPs.
I wish I never would have sold my Government Pocketlite!
I really would love to have a Colt Gov. model .380. I just like and am used to the SA auto's. I don't really need the .380, just want one. But want is need, I've been told.
I love the little Colt autos. If I didn't have my Walther I would definitely be working on procuring one.

Readiness factor: Although he's only 23, quarterback Josh Freeman further cemented himself as this team's leader by taking control and organizing the offseason workouts for the Bucs. Freeman's workouts focused mostly on the offensive skill positions and some offensive linemen. Most of the defensive players did most of their working out on their own. Freeman seemed to strengthen his bond with tight end Kellen Winslow and some of the young receivers, and that should help. But this was the NFL's youngest team last year, and the lack of offseason time with coaches is going to make for a very challenging training camp.
Biggest challenge: Although the Bucs got a lot of production out of last year's rookie class, most notably receiver Mike Williams and running back LeGarrette Blount, a lot of players still aren't deeply versed in the system. Defensive tackles Brian Price and Gerald McCoy, safety Cody Grimm and receiver Arrelious Benn all had their rookie seasons end prematurely because of injuries. All indications are they've done a good job getting healthy, but they could have used the offseason time with the coaches to really put them into position to take the next step.
Secondary issues: The Bucs are certain they'll open camp and the regular season without safety Tanard Jackson. He's serving a one-year NFL suspension and won't even be allowed to apply for reinstatement until late September. The team can't count on Jackson's return, although it would be a nice bonus. There's nothing certain about cornerback Aqib Talib's situation. He's facing an assault charge in Texas and his trial is scheduled for next March. There's the possibility the Bucs or the NFL could take disciplinary action against a player who's been suspected for violating the league's personal-conduct code previously. If the Bucs and the league decide to wait on disciplinary action, it's possible Talib could open camp with his teammates.
Key players without contracts for 2011: Linebacker Barrett Ruud, running back Cadillac Williams, guard Davin Joseph, defensive end Stylez G. White.

Excerpt from 'For the First Time...':
In a major wage/hour ruling, the California Supreme Court clarified the test used to analyze whether the administrative exemption to overtime applies to employees. Historically, courts have applied the administrative/production worker dichotomy test. This dichotomy distinguishes between administrative employees who are primarily engaged in administering the business affairs of the enterprise (exempt employees) and production-level employees whose primary duty is producing the commodities that the business exists to produce and market (non-exempt employees). However, in Harris v. Superior Court, the Supreme Court held that the administrative/production worker dichotomy is not a dispositive test and should only be applied in limited circumstances. Instead, courts should first analyze whether the work performed by the employee is (1) directly related to management policies or general business operations of the employer or its customers and (2) both qualitatively and quantitatively administrative.

Statins were designed to minimize the user's risk of having severe heart conditions like heart attacks or stroke by lowering the levels of unhealthy cholesterol. Prozac is approved for use in pediatric patients with MDD and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The most common side effects include bowel irregularity & mild abdominal discomfort caused by flatulence, usually these symptoms simply just fade away as your system adjusts to the statin medication.

Doctors aren't recommending that anyone stop taking their medications just yet. If statins are taken in combination with fibrates, muscle problems may become more prevalent. Herbs: Do not take with Ephedra or Green Tea as it may increase effect of drug. Although Coenzyme Q10 appears to be safe with no significant adverse side effects, Co - Q10 can have interactions with prescription medications such as blood thinners. Fibrates should not be taken by patients with advanced liver or kidney disease, and they should not be combined with a statin except under very strict medical supervision, including careful monitoring for muscle damage.
In the event that the patient misses a dose, there is no need to double the dose on the next schedule. Some doctors may suggest cholesterol medicines like Crestor, Zetia, or Zocor, but these Crestor rx online medicines have harmful side effects.

Many people do not like the taste of natural fruit and vegetable juice. A new study conducted with the help of over 18,000 participants in 26 Crestor rx online countries reveals a new blood test can determine the likelihood of stroke and heart disease in patients, and can controlled and drastically minimized with a commonly used statin drug. Since fibrates affect anti-coagulants, patients must always inform their doctor of other medications they're taking.

We're kicking the outdated, crunchy curl look to the curb. This lightweight styling lotion gives definition to stubborn curls. The creamy formula delivers fluffy, touchable curls and larger than life volume, without weighing down your hair's natural bounce. It's made with a healing blend of avocado, coconut, sweet almond, and olive to repair dry, damaged locks. Plus, the fresh scent is sublimely subtle enough for everyday wear.
One of the best products I've used in my hair in a very long time. The sample lasted me for a week. I only had to use a small amount for my shoulder length hair. My hair stayed curly and didn't frizz once. I didn't have to use any othe product in my hair. I can't wait to buy the full size product!5
my hair is very fine, but fairly curly, so I was excited to try this product. Unfortunately it just wasn't for me, it weighed my hair down and made my curls very limp. On the upside it definitely didn't make my hair crunchy like many curly hair products do. It wasn't awful, but I don't plan on buying it. Also it should be noted that this product literally smells like dryer sheets, no exaggeration. So be wary of that if you are sensitive to smells.3
Wow, where were all these curl products when I was in high school? Every time I think I've found the perfect product to make my curls look their best, I sample something even better. After detangling my hair with some Ouidad botanical mist and a comb, I raked this product through my hair, scrunched and let it air dry. The result: soft, frizz-free, bouncy curls. One more curl-definer can't hurt, can it?5
I am always looking to try a new product for curly hair, but I am not a fan. Not only did it smell like a cheap air freshener at a gas station bathroom, but it gave my hair a strange texture. I normally let my hair air dry, which I did with this product, but it made my hair look stringy and oily. I even used less then the recommended amount of product just in case (and I have longish hair). And my curls were still frizzy!2

Fiction (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
My first novel series Terra Ignota is published by Tor Books. Book one, Too Like the Lightning, came out May 10th, 2016. You can order it from Powell's, from Barnes & Noble (nook), Amazon, Kobo, or use Indiebound or Goodreads to find local stores.
Here is its pitch from Tor.com, drafted by my wonderful editor Patrick Nielsen Hayden, which does a much better job introducing the book than I have ever managed:
Too Like the Lightning
This May, Tor Books is proud to launch the first novel in a new political science fiction series, Too Like The Lightning by debut novelist Ada Palmer. Palmer's unique vision mixes Enlightenment-era philosophy with traditional science fiction speculation to bring to life the year 2454, not a perfect future, but a utopian one, described by a narrator writing in an antiquated form to catalog the birth of a revolution. The result is The Iliad meets I, Claudius mixed with the enthusiasm of The Stars My Destination and Gene Wolfe style world building.
Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to wander the world being as useful as he can to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer–a spiritual counselor in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away.
The world into which Mycroft and Carlyle have been born is as strange to our 21st-century eyes as ours would be to a native of the 1500s. It is a hard-won utopia built on technologically-generated abundance, and also on complex and mandatory systems of labeling all public writing and speech. What seem to us normal gender distinctions are now distinctly taboo in most social situations. And most of the world's population is affiliated with globe-girdling clans of the like-minded, whose endless economic and cultural competition is carefully managed by central planners of inestimable subtlety. To us it seems like a mad combination of heaven and hell. To them, it seems like normal life.
And in this world, Mycroft and Carlyle have stumbled on the wild card that may destabilize the system: the boy Bridger, who can effortlessly make his wishes come true. Who can, it would seem, bring inanimate objects to life…
Perfect for fans of Jo Walton, Robert Charles Wilson and Kim Stanley Robinson, Too Like The Lightning is a refreshing change of pace from the current trend of gritty, dystopian novels. Much like Homer telling of heroic deeds and wine dark seas, Mycroft Canner's narration will draw you into the world of Terra Ignota—a world simmering with gender politics and religious fervor just beneath the surface, on the brink of revolutionary change.

Read an excerpt:
Author's Comments:
I think of this series as "Future Historical Fiction," because it is set a few centuries in Earth's future, but is written in the style of an Eighteenth-Century memoir or philosophical novel, like Candide. It is filled with period-feeling philosophical and historical asides, but freely mixes discussions of real history with the invented future events between the present and its future setting. It thus mixes elements of science fiction with historical fiction, and also strong hints of mystery and political intrigue.
In fiction, I enjoy extensive worldbuilding, and I like how fantasy and science fiction elements make it possible to explore powerful moral and philosophical situations. A friend once said she thought I had summed up my work well when I commented: "A story without metaphysics is like a day without gelato–it might be excellent, but wouldn't it be even more excellent with gelato?"
My favorite authors, the ones which have had the most impact on my writing style, are, within the world of fantasy and science fiction, Alfred Bester, Gene Wolfe and Samuel R. Delany. In the broader realm of literature I would say my biggest influences are Diderot, Voltaire, Robert Graves, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the Robert Fagles translations of Homer. If you read all nine of them in rapid succession and then fall asleep while thinking about flying cars, you might have an experience somewhat like reading Too Like the Lightning. Maybe.
Read more of my comments about the series, and the cover art, in my Cover Reveal Post on Ex Urbe.
Q: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
A: "February 21st! Book 2 comes out February 21st! It's done! Tor has it! Even the page proofs are done! You don't have to worry about the wait!"
Q: "I remember hearing you had a novel called Dogs of Peace, or Servants of the World."
A: "Those are older titles for what is now Too Like the Lightning. I always wanted the title to be Too Like the Lightning, but we went through some other provisional titles too. Titles are hard to get right, but Lorenzo Valla changed De Summo Bono to De Voluptate more than a decade after he started circulating the text, so I'm in good company."
Q: "What are the two people in the foreground of the Seven Surrenders cover supposed to be?"
A: "Not sure, but they have the Mitsubishi symbol on their backs, so maybe some kind of Mitsubishi honor guard? The view seems to be looking across Romanova from the Quirinal hill toward the Capitoline hill with the Palatine behind, and lots of Mitsubishi live on the Quirinal. If you look very closely at the hill you can see the flags of the Utopian, Masonic and Greenpeace Mitsubishi groups just visible at the edge of the blue haze. So cool!"
Links Related to the World of Terra Ignota:
In the years between starting to write these novels and their long-awaited publication, many news items have come my way (often sent by friends who read the manuscript) about little advances in the real world that parallel things I imagined in my world-building. Here are some of the most fun, with my notes in parentheses of what Terra Ignota world-building element they relate to. With the exception of the Mojave spaceport (which is what Apollo Mojave is named for) these are all developments which were sent to me well after I had invented parallel things for my imagined future:
- American Philosophical Practitioners (Councilor Certification) (Sensayer program)
- Article about "RealDoll" human-sized realistic doll companions (Sniper dolls)

Generation Two Is Transforming E-Biz
Whatever you may not like about e-biz, odds are Etilize has solved the problem.When new technology comes along, generation zero merely replaces components. Old solder jockeys may remember solid-state modules that plugged into vacuum tube sockets. Eventually, though, entire devices were redesigned around what new hardware enabled, and our expectations became broader as well as higher. Were finally seeing the comparable transformation of e-business. Generation Zero e-business merely put product catalogs on the Web, reducing printing and mailing costs. Customers had to call in orders and waste time finding out that something was out of stock or even out of production.
Generation One added real-time order taking, and there was a customer advantage: Orders could be based on current knowledge of price and availability, letting customers strike their own balance between time and money. Thats how I bought my newest laptop computer; over a period of several weeks, I tracked declining price against declining stock at the PC Mall Web site (www.pcmall.com), pouncing at what seemed the ideal momentand saving almost 50 percent.

The audience Q&A is very much a part of most directors', writers', and other artists' live appearances. In just about every case, someone from the audience will ask the same question, and the artist will sort of cringe internally, even though he or she probably expected it. That question is "Where do you get your ideas?" and there is no good answer. Where does anybody get their ideas from? It's a naturally occurring phenomenon based on all the pieces of data you've acquired bumping into each other in your subconscious, perhaps colliding with a current observation. The worst part about this question is that it misses the point entirely. The innate quality of an idea for a movie, book, or TV show is relative. The true value of your idea is in how you tell the story at its core.
The mere premise of the original series The Office sounds interesting, but it took the imagination and stylistic control of Ricky Gervais to make it into the landmark show that it was. In the wrong hands, Margaret Atwood's premises might play out like alarmist claptrap, but the way she parcels out information makes the worlds she creates nightmarishly realistic. This year, Co.Create talked to some of the greatest storytellers in television, movies, and the literary world to get some tips on their technique. Whether it's Joss Whedon describing how to get started, or Bobcat Goldthwait explaining how to finish a screenplay draft in just a week, there's more than enough advice to help you tell some tales.
Have a look through the slides above for Co.Create's best bits on storytelling.

This week sees the release of Andrew Dominik's "Killing Them Softly," a gripping little crime movie than threatens to be one of The Playlist's highlights of 2012. And among its many pleasures is the chance to see some character actor favorites like James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, and newer up-and-comers like Scoot McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn given substantial roles to chew on. Best of all is a major role for the incomparably great Richard Jenkins.
Jenkins is one of those actors who's never anything less than wonderful, stealing the show in countless films, able to turn on a sixpence between comedy and drama, and elevating everything he's in. And yet, even though Jenkins won a much-deserved Oscar nomination a few years back for "The Visitor" and averages four or five movies a year, it still feels like he's chronically undervalued in Hollywood.
So to pay tribute to Jenkins and his performance in "Killing Them Softly," we've rounded up ten other actors who don't seem to quite get their due. Some are veterans, some are relative newcomers, and all have impressed in movies but maybe don't get to work as consistently, or in as high-profile roles as we'd like. Casting directors should note: the presence of any of the below is basically enough for us to buy a movie ticket, and we're pretty sure we're not alone on that. You can read our picks below, and while we head off to write a screenplay with roles for all of the below, you can suggest your own favorites who you'd like to see more of in our comments section.
Gary Cole
One of the crown princes of being "that guy" — a familiar, but maybe not immediately recognizable character actor who regularly steals the show (see also Stephen Root, William Fichtner, and many, many others) — Gary Cole has been in the game for three decades, usually in supporting parts. The Illinois-born actor was one of the early leading lights of Chicago's legendary Steppenwolf Company, which helped give the world Gary Sinise, John Malkovich and Joan Allen among others. And after a few decades of reliable TV and movie parts, Cole finally poked into the mainstream in 1995, with two wildly different roles: Mike Brady in "The Brady Bunch Movie" and the Satanic Sherriff Buck in the short-lived, but wildly acclaimed Sam Raimi-produced TV series "American Gothic." But either stardom didn't come calling, or Cole shied away from it, with quieter TV and movie roles following again. Four years later, he again stole the show as Bill Lumbergh in "Office Space," and although it helped to buy him comic cred and parts in films like 'Dodgeball," "Talladega Nights" and "Pineapple Express," he still remains a well-kept secret from the general public. Over the last few years, Cole has stayed as busy as ever, appearing on pretty much every TV show going, from "The Good Wife" to "Bob's Burgers," but hasn't appeared in a movie since 2011's "Hop." We know that he's never going to be Tom Cruise, but there's almost nothing that Cole can't do, from broad comedy to sincere drama, and smart casting in the right major movie could see him soar.
Jennifer Connelly
It feels almost pointless to remind people that an actress who's been working for nearly thirty years and who has an Oscar is worth hiring, but we're not sure that Jennifer Connelly is really getting her due from the casting types these days. Connelly first appeared as a child actress in Sergio Leone's "Once Upon A Time In America," and followed it soon up with Dario Argento's "Phenomena" and Jim Henson's beloved fantasy "Labyrinth." She graduated to adulthood with "The Hot Spot" and "The Rocketeer," and, while things were quieter in the 1990s, it picked up towards the end of the decade with Alex Proyas' cult film "Dark City." And as the 21st century arrived, she suddenly exploded, with a bruising, gaunt, powerful performance in "Requiem For A Dream," and another with the strong but underseen "Waking the Dead." And her ascent to the A-list was completed the following year when she won Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars for playing Alicia Nash in Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind." Connelly's had successes since, most notably in "Little Children" and "Blood Diamond," but more misses, including "Dark Water" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Her last few films have proven particularly dire with neither "Creation," "Virginia," "The Dilemma," "Salvation Boulevard" or 'Writers" proving especially popular with critics or audiences. Part of the issue may be that now she's in her 40s, and Connelly's hit that point where there are fewer and fewer plum roles for actresses of her age. But Connelly still has to be considered as one of the more pre-eminent actresses of her generation, and should really be getting better material, rather than just a string of wives and moms. Fortunately, some of her previous collaborators may be coming to the rescue. She's got a key role in Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" as the missus of Russell Crowe's title character, and is following it up with "A Beautiful Mind" writer Akiva Goldsman's "Winter's Tale," also co-starring Crowe and alongside Will Smith and Colin Farrell. Hopefully it means the start of a third act to her career.
Rosemarie DeWitt
Somewhat of a slow-burner, Rosemarie DeWitt (who is the granddaughter of boxer James Braddock, the subject of the film "Cinderella Man," in which she had a cameo) spent a good decade or so building up a formidable reputation in the theater, but really only started to make an impact on screens five or so years ago. After a brief year on the hostage negotiation series "Standoff" (which was cancelled quickly, but had the benefit of introducing DeWitt to co-star Ron Livingston, who she later married), DeWitt impressed with a recurring role as Don Draper's mistress on the first season of "Mad Men." Within a year, she was the title role in Jonathan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married," and while co-star Anne Hathaway won most of the acclaim for the film, DeWitt was again terrific, and along with that year's "Afterschool," it put the actress properly on the map. She's gone from strength to strength in the last few years, with 2012 marking three very good turns from the actress in the shape of "Nobody Walks," "Promised Land" and in particular "Your Sister's Sister," which won her a Spirit Award nomination yesterday. Mainstream cinema hasn't quite caught on yet, with her most prominent studio role to date a somewhat thankless part as Ben Stiller's wife in flop comedy "The Watch." But with a reunion with Lynn Shelton in next year's "Touchy Feely" on the way, hopefully her profile will continue to grow. She's someone we can absolutely see ending up with an Oscar nomination in the next few years.
Frank Grillo
His name and face might not be immediately recognizable to the general public, but in a remarkably short space of time — really the last year or so — Frank Grillo has become the kind of actor who makes everything he's in about ten percent better. Grillo was a true working actor for the best part of twenty years, popping up most notably in "Minority Report" and "The Sweetest Thing," but hardly landing atop casting wishlists. But then last year came "Warrior," Gavin O'Connor's tremendously effective mixed martial arts drama, in which Grillo stood out as the trainer of Joel Edgerton's character. And he's quietly had a strong 2012, standing out in "The Grey" even among a cast with several contenders for this list (Dallas Roberts, James Badge Dale), stealing scenes in "Lay the Favorite," impressing in the otherwise skippable "Disconnect" and, giving something of a masterclass in one scene of "End of Watch" (his drunken melancholy at the wedding is one of the best bits of acting we've seen all year). There's loads more on the way — "Zero Dark Thirty," "Gangster Squad," the Richard Curtis-penned HBO movie "Mary & Martha," a lead role in action-thriller "Intersection," James Franco/Jason Statham team-up "Homefront" — but he deserves to be working with more Bigelow-style A-list directors. Hopefully a high-profile villain role in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will put him on the path to land those.
Sally Hawkins
Given that she gave one of the most widely acclaimed female performances of the last few years — as the ever-sunny Poppy in Mike Leigh's "Happy-Go-Lucky," which won her a Golden Globe — it's a little puzzling that Sally Hawkins hasn't exploded since. The actress, a RADA grad, has been winning acclaim on stage since the late 1990s, and became something of a Mike Leigh favorite in the movie world in the early '00s, cropping up in "All Or Nothing" and "Vera Drake" before "Happy-Go-Lucky." And even before the latter, she'd come to the attention of some big-name directors, with a smallish role in Matthew Vaughn's "Layer Cake" and a bigger one in Woody Allen's "Cassandra's Dream." But since, she's been reliably superb in tiny roles — heartbreakingly compassionate as teacher Miss Lucy in "Never Let Me Go," steely in a one-scene wonder in "An Education," and terrifying in "Jane Eyre." And that she didn't get more attention for her phenomenal turn in Richard Ayoade's "Submarine" is kind of baffling to us. But things haven't been so good with her lead roles — "Love Birds" was virtually unseen, and "Made In Dagenham" never quite managed to turn into the "Full Monty"-style mainstream hit it initially promised to be. Perhaps things would have been different if she hadn't missed out, surprisingly, on an Oscar nod for "Happy-Go-Lucky." But Hawkins isn't threatening to be out of work any time soon. She's in Mike Newell's "Great Expectations" at the moment and has "Junebug" director Phil Morrison's new film, alongside Paul Rudd, and a reunion with Woody Allen coming up in 2013. But we hope directors and casting directors take the time to see Hawkins opposite Rafe Spall in stage play "Constellations" in London at the moment where she's giving a phenomenal performance.
Kathryn Hahn
"Bridesmaids" aside, the post-Apatow comedic revolution has been kinder to the men than it has to the women. But one of the exceptions to the rule is Kathryn Hahn, who first came to fame on TV's "Crossing Jordan," but has been stealing comedy roles since "Anchorman" in 2004. Hahn was one of the more memorable news team members in the film (fingers crossed she gets an expanded role in the upcoming sequel), and was even better as Adam Scott's over-sexed wife in "Step Brothers." She's also paid her rom-com dues in films like "A Lot Like Love" and "The Holiday," and only earlier this year was stealing scenes in David Wain's 'Wanderlust" and on "Parks and Recreation." But there's a lot more to her than funny bones, and she was impressive in a small role in Sam Mendes "Revolutionary Road," and gave a great recurring performance in the first season of "Girls." It's not that she hasn't had proper showcases in the past. She starred in short-lived sitcom "Free Agents," and James L. Brooks gave her a good-sized role in the botched "How Do You Know?," but they've never quite landed. There's more on the way, most notably "We're The Millers" and "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" in 2013, but again, a canny indie filmmaker could end up storming the festival circuit by writing a role to her real strengths.
Michael Pitt
Michael Pitt is another slow-burner. He's been a familiar face on screen for over a decade, and seemingly every time he comes close to serious stardom, he ends up pulling back. For the most part, his bona-fides are from the indie world, beginning with an impressive performance in "Hedwig & the Angry Inch," followed soon enough by Larry Clark's "Bully." He tipped his toe into studio waters alongside Ryan Gosling in the "Rope"-indebted "Murder By Numbers," and M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village," but it was a pair of indies around the same time that really suggested he had the potential for DiCaprio-esque stardom: Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" and Gus Van Sant's "Last Days," the latter seeing him giving an astonishing performance as a Kurt Cobain-ish rock star. His next few films — "Delirious," "Silk," the remake of "Funny Games" — never quite went anywhere, but he seemed to get a second lease of life as one of the leads in the stacked cast of "Boardwalk Empire." It served as a serious reminder of his talents, and *spoiler* with the show-runners choosing to kill his character, Jimmy Darmody, off at the end of the second season *end spoiler*, Pitt's been a free agent for the last year or so. But it doesn't quite seem to have converted into more roles. The actor had a tiny cameo in "Seven Psychopaths," and was nearly cast as Tetsuo in the aborted "Akira" remake, but he doesn't seem to have taken a serious role in the meantime. Fingers crossed, that's about to change. He co-wrote, produces and stars in the 1920s drama "You Can't Win," which is one to watch on the festival circuit in the next year, and with any luck that'll see him get more attention. And he's returning to gangland territory for "Rob the Mob" alongside Nina Arianda soon. Pitt's talent certainly isn't in question, but it'd be nice to see him cropping up more on screen in the next few years.
James Ransone
The Baltimore-born James Ransone's had a few false starts along his decade-long career so far, but hopefully a recent run of success will mean more people start taking notice again. The actor made his debut in Larry Clark's controversial, little-seen "Ken Park," giving a storming performance as the auto-aspyhixiating, murderous Tate. Even if people didn't see it, he didn't have to wait for too long for more exposure. He played Ziggy, one of the most memorable (and infuriating) characters on the divisive second season of HBO classic "The Wire," a few small movie roles followed, but Ransone was hooked on heroin in his mid-20s, weighing a mere 115 pounds, and ended up 30 grand in debt, which understandably curtailed his career somewhat. When 'Wire' creator David Simon cast him again in military miniseries "Generation Kill," Ransone sorted himself out, and has steadily been climbing up the ladder again. HBO has continued to be good to him, with recurring roles on "How To Make It In America" and "Treme," and after smaller parts in "Prom Night" and "The Next Three Days," he's had more impressive parts in indie favorite "Starlet," and stole the show as the deputy in horror sleeper "Sinister." Next year should be good to him, too. He's got roles in Albert Hughes' "Broken City," Dito Montiel's "Empire State," AMC pilot "Low Winter Sun" with Mark Strong, indie "The Timber" and Jim Sturgess vehicle "Electric Slide." Perhaps most importantly, he's become something of a protege of Spike Lee. After cropping up in "Inside Man" and "Red Hook Summer," the director cast him in a key role in his "Oldboy" remake when Nate Parker dropped out. This is all heading in the right direction, but Ransone strikes us as the kind of guy who deserves leads, the kind of parts a young Pacino would have played. And we hope that casting directors start to realize the same thing soon.
Olivia Thirlby
She might not have got the Oscar nomination, but when "Juno" landed five years ago, Olivia Thirlby impressed almost as many people as co-star Ellen Page. Snappy, sexy, and able to get her head around the script's Diablo Cody-isms, it suggested that a star was born, and Thirlby swiftly followed it up with another strong performance in '90s coming-of-age tale "The Wackness." And later that year, she won rave reviews on stage for "Farragut North" opposite Chris Pine (the play was turned into George Clooney's "The Ides Of March," with Evan Rachel Wood taking Thirlby's role). But since then, the 26-year-old seemed to hit a bit of a speed bump. She was replaced (amicably) as Seth Rogen's high-school girlfriend in "Pineapple Express," and indies like "Arlen Faber" and "What Goes Up" never really went anywhere (though a recurring guest spot on "Bored To Death" proved more of a highlight). 2011 saw her venture into the studio world for the first time, but she was wasted in "No Strings Attached," and featured in the quickly forgotten "The Darkest Hour." This year has, admittedly, been better — she showed a new side to her range with the kick-ass Judge Anderson in "Dredd," though the film's meager box office means it won't be a continuing interest. More crucially, and the thing that truly reminded us of her talent, was Ry Russo-Young's "Nobody Walks," in which Thirlby gives one of the more undervalued female performances of the year as an aspiring filmmaker staying with an L.A. family (John Krasinski and Rosemarie DeWitt) who up-ends their lives. Hopefully it'll remind more people of her talents.
Shea Whigham
Michael Pitt's far from the only actor to get a good showcase from "Boardwalk Empire" — the increasingly strong series has given meaty material to everyone from veterans like Steve Buscemi and Michael Shannon to folks like Kelly Macdonald, Michael K. Williams, Michael Stuhlbarg and Gretchen Mol, and relative newcomers like Vincent Piazza, Jack Huston and Charlie Cox. But perhaps the actor we most hope gets a boost off the HBO show is perpetually underrated character actor Shea Whigham. The actor, a theater veteran who first broke out in "Tigerland" and "All The Real Girls" in the early '00s, seems to get better each time we see him, not least on 'Boardwalk,' as Nucky's semi-treacherous brother Eli, where he's been continually impressive. Whigham's one of those actors who has absolutely no problem getting work. In the last four years, he's managed to find room for 16 movies alongside three seasons of "Boardwalk Empire," but they're generally smallish roles in things like "Machete," "Fast & Furious," "Big Miracle" and "Savages." But every time he gets something with a little more substance, like his great work in "Take Shelter" or even his brief turn in this year's "Silver Linings Playbook," he shows why he deserves more work. And the few leads he has had — he walked away with "Wristcutters: A Love Story" as the Russian-accented co-lead — have only backed that up. It seems to us that Whigham is primed for a Michael Shannon/John Hawkes-esque break out to the big leagues. It just needs a sharp indie filmmaker to realize that and take that chance. In the meantime, he's reuniting with Scorsese on "The Wolf of Wall Street" and turning up in Terrence Malick's "Knight of Cups," which can only be welcome moves.
