Westport realty firm founder Shavell dies suddenly
The founder of a prominent Westport real estate firm died Wednesday at his Palm Beach, Fla. home.
Wade Shavell, 51, who sold homes to several celebrities, including Keith Richards, Robert Redford and Martha Stewart, and numerous business executives around the Gold Coast, slipped and struck his head, causing a brain hemorrhage, his family said Thursday in a news release.
"Wade had an uncanny ability to connect with all types of people and he always had a story to put people at ease," said David Fite, his current business partner. "His work life and personal life overlapped, as clients always became friends. I will greatly miss his friendship."
Shavell's prodigious career as an agent was briefly derailed in 2006 when he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges after conspiring with his mother to hide money he made from the sale of his firm. After his conviction, he returned to success, co-founding a firm in Florida with Fite. His firm recently opened an office in Westport.
Shavell started his real estate career at 19 and founded his own agency, Riverside/Shavell in Westport when he was 25.
After 11 years running his firm, Shavell sold the agency to NRT in 1999. In 2003, he moved to Palm Beach to run NRT's Corcoran Group.
In 2006, Shavell left the Corcoran Group following his guilty plea, and was sentenced in 2007 to three months in prison, followed by three years of probation.
Federal authorities in Connecticut said Shavell and his mother, Patricia, worked together in the tax evasion scheme.
Patricia Shavell paid the owner of a Hollywood, Fla. thrift shop to create three fraudulent appraisals for the 1999 and 2000 tax years -- right after her son gained a significant amount of money for the sale of his agency -- for personal property Wade Shavell claimed to have donated to the store.
Prosecutors said Wade Shavell claimed $322,610 in fraudulent, non-cash charitable donations on his 1999 U.S. tax return and $301,785 in fraudulent donations the next year. The tax loss to the government was $181,461.
Shavell, who faced up to five years in prison, paid the government $429,371 as part of a plea deal. His mother pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to defraud the IRS and was sentenced to probation, house arrest and community service.
After his run-in with the law, Shavell returned to the real estate business with Fite in 2008.
With his business partner, Shavell quickly grew the business, which has sold over $1 billion in real estate since it opened.
"Wade loved his life's work, cherished his firm family and adored Palm Beach, his home. Wade was a part of the fabric that is Palm Beach and Fite Shavell & Associates is a wonderful part of his legacy," the company said in a release. "While Wade will be missed immensely, his death a shock to us all, the Fite Shavell Family will live on in the continued success of the firm and our associates in no small part thanks to Wade's indelible influence, commitment and heart."
Steve Simpson, an employee of Shavell, told the Palm Beach Daily News that Shavell handelled his conviction with grace, and took responsibility to protect his mother. Simpson said the way Shavell handled the situation was one of the reasons he joined Fite Shavell in 2008.
Shavell is survived by his mother Patricia and father Steven; two sisters, Cathy Shavell and Leslie Shavell Juergens; a brother-in-law, Michael Juergens; and a niece and a nephew.
A funeral service for Shavell will be held at 10:00 a.m. Monday at the Temple Emanu-El of Palm Beach, 190 North County Road. The interment will follow at Eternal Light Memorial Gardens, Boynton Beach, Fla.

Nice juicy cunt on blonde
So fucking hot made me cum so good had me rubbing my clit and tits so hard
I agree, what beautiful attention she gave to the young girl, such intense pleasures. It felt so wonderful to cum as I watched her satisfy the girl.
saying what you're doing i imagine watching you
Who play that part of the teacher
red head is Isis love (but not a true redhead)
Why do kids have to be so mean? Hahahahahahahahahahah
I would like to meet up with a shy girl like the student especially if she was a virgin. I would like to do it with both of them and watch them doing it together.
Which is her real name Kitty Marie or Amy? Kitty or Amy should have undressed the teacher.
Hey girl, panties off quick before I cum
Her name is Kitty Marie
Ilove girls saying cunt turns me on so much
Far too slow. Ten minutes pass before anything half interesting happens. Thirteen minutes before we see a naked body
Very Nice Teacher, Would Of Liked To Have Seen More Of Her, For Me , The Almost Perfect Body. Cant Be Sure Because We Didnt Get To See It Properly, Piercing "ILLEAGLE" On Someone Supossedly That Young!?? Some Nice-ish Action, But Story Line Very Weak.
@principal,what you're seeing there is a reinactment or whatever way it's written of what happened so ya after her first sexual experience wich was with a woman well she could've gotten her clit pierced and when she got asked to do this video of how it happened well her clit is pierced cuz like I said it's a reinactment
This is a decent series for the sex, but probably the worst acting I've ever seen. I love Any-1's comment about adoring red hair...uh...she a Blactina, dawg. It's like saying you love big tits when looking at a chick with silly-cones.
Hey popsie, if you want nice action cum and see me !
Nice story and beautifully recreated.
anyone know the redhead's name?
Love to hav
Ms. Davis is the HOT one in this video. Who is she and is she in any other videos ?

Part 2 on the video
My pussy is so wet right now
It is Isis love, look at the tattoo on her back......When I seen that, I had to verify from other video's
Eso si es un final
vidéo fantastique qui me donne des idées
Who is redhead? It is NOT Isis Love as stated here. The bodies are nothing alike.
Hi pooja, wud like fukk u

Why do i have to look at 9 minutes of bullshit before the action begins?
perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it look good
shes no virgin she didnt want her to stop she loved it i loved it
I like the shy girl and the teacher. How could the shy girl be a virgin with her clit pierced? I could see a difference in the color of her panties covering her pussy. I would really like to have both of them to play with and watch them do it to each other.
she should have said miss david can i do it to you now

Anyone know who plays the teacher? SHHHHHmoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whare was this
When do we get to see pt2
I want her to suck my nips like that = then let me do her!

when I see pieces as awesome as this cape on other people's blogs I'm always like: FRICK! Why didn't I get there (ie. the goodwill in this case) first! Which is stupid. Because I live far far away. But that is still how I feel.
awesome cape. awesome outfit. I keep forgetting I can wear shorts with tights. And I even have ones with an elastic waist band (not maternity, though...you'd be surprised at the amount of clothing about with elastic waistbands that ISN'T maternity wear).

PITTSBURGH -- Brandon Crawford became the first shortstop to hit a grand slam in a postseason game, and Madison Bumgarner pitched a four-hit shutout as the San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-0 Wednesday night in the National League wild-card game.
An 18-game winner in the regular season, Bumgarner struck out nine and walked one.
Crawford's slam off losing pitcher Edinson Volquez broke a scoreless tie with no outs in the fourth.
The Giants move on to play the Washington Nationals in the National League Division Series. The best-of-five affair begins Friday afternoon at Nationals Park in Washington.
The Pirates bowed out after making their second...

Incoming 1Ls / Re: GWU bound thread« on: May 13, 2005, 05:37:51 AM »
Impairedwarpig, I agree with your sentiments about Ithaca - even though cornell was a very impressive school, the combination of location & size of Ithaca helped turn me back toward GW. But I must correct you about something - Ithaca is far from the Canadian border, 2.5-3 hours at least. This I know - I went to college less than 20 minutes from the border, 200+ miles NORTH of Ithaca...hence why I do not want to do another tour of duty in the snowy, frigid winters of far upstate NY.

One of the few changes made to the University of Georgia Peanut Disease Risk Index for this year was in the number of points assigned to certain varieties, a sure sign that the best hope growers have of battling diseases like tomato spotted wilt virus might be found in the development of new cultivars.
Older varieties such as Florunner and Southern Runner that no longer are planted have been removed from the index, says University of Georgia Extension entomologist Steve L. Brown, and the number of points assigned to some varieties in a disease category has been changed.
The number of points assigned to Georgia Green and other varieties in the spotted wilt category has been increased from 25 in 2005 to 30 in 2006. Brown says the change doesn't mean that Georgia Green and the other varieties are becoming less resistant to spotted wilt. Rather, it's an indication that the newer varieties that have been released in recent years have significantly greater resistance to the disease, and that the old point scheme has had to be adjusted to reflect the improved resistance.
No variety of peanut is immune to tomato spotted wilt virus, say researchers. However, a few varieties have consistently demonstrated moderate levels of resistance. In addition to reduced disease incidence, some varieties appear to have some degree of tolerance as well. Higher levels of resistance and tolerance are anticipated since peanut breeding programs are now evaluating potential new varieties for response to tomato spotted wilt virus.
Peanut varieties also can have a major impact on fungal disease. The variety Georgia Green is currently planted on the majority of the peanut acreage in the Southeast. However, new varieties from breeding programs at the University of Georgia and the University of Florida not only have improved resistance to spotted wilt but to fungal diseases as well.
But, just as none of the current varieties are immune to tomato spotted wilt virus, none are completely immune to fungal diseases either. However, improved resistance likely will lead to reductions in disease severity, according to plant breeders. It is important to remember that improved resistance to one disease does not mean that the variety also possesses superior resistance to other diseases, says Brown. For example, DP-1 and C99-R have greater resistance to leafspot than Georgia Green. However, Georgia Green has greater resistance to rhizoctonia limb rot.
The following varieties currently are available to growers and offer a wide range of characteristics that could be important in the selection process:
Andru II
Andru II is an early maturity variety, but not as early as Andru 93 or ViruGard. It has high-oleic oil chemistry, excellent resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and good white mold resistance. Anderson Peanut Company is the major supplier of Andru II seed.
ANorden is a medium maturity variety with good TSWV resistance and high oleic oil chemistry. ANorden has the same level of resistance to white mold, leafspot and rhizoctonia limb rot as Georgia Green.
This is a medium-maturity variety released by the University of Florida that has been licensed to Anderson Peanuts. It is a sister line to Carver. AP-3 has excellent resistance to TSWV and white mold, the highest available in a medium-maturity variety. Yields and grades were very good at Marianna and Gainesville.
This is a medium maturity variety with good resistance to TSWV and white mold. It has some resistance to CBR and rhizoctonia limb rot. Carver has good yield potential. A good leafspot spray is needed for this variety.
This has been one of the higher-yielding entries in tests at multiple locations and usually ranks as one of the best in resistance to TSWV. C-99R has resistance to leafspot, white mold, rust and has a small amount of resistance to CBR. It is a late-maturing variety with large seed and calcium needs that are similar to a Virginia type.
Ga 01R
Ga 01R was released by the University of Georgia in 2001 and has shown resistance to TSWV, leafspot and CBR. It is similar to C-99R in seed size and maturity. It also has a spreading runner growth habit.
Ga 02C
This high-oleic runner-type peanut was released in 2002 by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. It has high-oleic and low-linoleic fatty acid content for improved oil quality. It has good resistance to both TSWV and cylindrocladium black rot (CBR).
Ga 03L
This variety has a maturity range similar to Georgia Green. It has significantly larger pods and seed than Georgia Green. It has one of the highest levels of resistance to TSWV of all the runner-type varieties, but it lacks resistance to other diseases.
Georgia Green
Due to high yields, good grades and resistance to TSWV and white mold, Georgia Green has become a very popular variety. Georgia Green has a small amount of resistance to late leafspot and CBR, but it does not take as long to mature as did Southern Runner, one of its parents.
Hull is a late maturity, jumbo runner seed size, high-oleic variety with good-to-excellent resistance to TSWV, late leafspot and white mold. It also has good resistance to CBR and some resistance to rootknot nematodes.
This variety matures 14 to 21 days earlier than other commonly grown varieties such as Georgia Green. It is a cross between NC-7 and Florunner, and it has a spreading bunch growth habit. ViruGard has good TSWV tolerance/resistance.
Gregory is a high-yielding variety that produces high percentages of jumbo pods and extra-large kernels with good TSWV resistance. Of the Virginia types, Gregory has been among the most resistant to TSWV.
This variety has larger seed than many others that are commercially available. It has an intermediate growth habit and normally matures in 150 to 155 days in Virginia. NC 7 is not as resistant to TSWV as Gregory.
This variety matures three to five days earlier than NC 7. It has a runner-type growth habit. It is somewhat resistant to CBR but is highly susceptible to sclerotinia blight and leafspot.
Except for CBR resistance and slightly earlier maturity, NC 12C is similar to NC 7. Under close plant spacing or conditions of high water availability, NC 12C produces excessive vine growth.
This 1989 joint release from North Carolina and Virginia is an early maturing variety that produces good yields. In Florida tests, the grade has tended to be lower than with other Virginia varieties. This variety has some resistance to TSWV and white mold under low pressure.
This variety is susceptible to all major diseases in the region. It has a runner growth habit and matures about five days earlier than NC 7.
This variety has good resistance to CBR, sclerotinia blight and web blotch. Perry tends to be highly susceptible to TSWV. It has a spreading runner growth habit.
Wilson matures five to seven days earlier than NC-7 and has excellent qualities for in-shell markets. It is moderately susceptible to TSWV, leafspot and other diseases in the Virginia-Carolina region.
Ga 04S
This new high-yielding, high-oleic variety is intended for the same confectionary markets as other Spanish types. It has much better resistance to TSWV than other Spanish varieties. Seed supply will be limited for 2006.
Starr has an upright growth habit with plants typically producing flowers on the main stem. The maturity is similar to other Spanish cultivars. It has no resistance to common peanut diseases and insects.
Tamnut 74
This variety has plant characteristics very similar to Starr.
Tamspan 90
This variety is typical of Spanish-type peanut cultivars in vegetative growth, rate of growth, and mainstem height. It has some resistance to pythium pod rot and scletorinia blight compared to Florunner and Starr.
Pronto is a cross between two Spanish lines, Chico and Comet. Its plants exhibit more yellow-green color than other Spanish cultivars. Pronto matures three to four weeks earlier than Florunner and has yields and grades similar to Spanco.
Spanco is a sister line to Pronto but has greener foliage color when mature. It is similar to Pronto in yield and grade.
Georgia Red
This is a Valencia-red cultivar that has outyielded and graded better than all other Valencia cultivars in Georgia. It is an excellent choice for the fresh-market boiling trade and home garden use.
Georgia Valencia
This variety has a larger seed size compared to other Valencia varieties. It is an excellent choice for the fresh market boiling trade in the Southeast.

I am making Amish dolls. I have orders for four and I am now more than half way done. It would go faster if I didn't have so many other things to do at this time of the year.
The garden is slowly getting put to bed. I still have pumpkins and squash coming, with the hope that they will not rot in all this rain. I have pulled most of the bean plants, feeding them as fodder to the goats, after removing the dried pods. They would eat the pods, but I am trying to save the seed.
Wood is getting stacked and split; the barn has been mucked out. We either have a small leak in the roof or the goats have amused themselves by drinking lots of water. I'm sure bean plants aren't that diuretic. I usually muck out every couple of days, but when we have four or five rainy days, it is less than a pleasant task – and it is no one's favourite. There is also the problem of mooring the goats to something while working in the barn on a rainy day.
We are getting one or two eggs a day, but never three. I suspect the girls are taking turns laying, and they all like the same nest box. The chickens had a bit of a scare the other day. They were out scratching around in the garden while I watched from an upper floor window. Suddenly they all ran for cover behind the trash bin, the rooster sounding an alarm. A bald eagle passed above, headed for the river. I had wondered if they had enough instinct about eagles and hawks to get out of the way. They don't panic over crows, though, although some of our crows are almost eagle sized. they stayed in hiding for several minutes, too.
We lost the last of the little silkies, leaving us with three bantam sized birds who are doing well. She just didn't grow; Nicholas found her hunkered down and drowsy in the barn, so he put her in the hay box under the lamp. When I went in an hour later to feed them, she was dead. All I can think of is that the little ones that died had some sort of deficiency similar to what calves and lambs have when they develop white muscle disease.
I have discovered that I am reacting to a large number of foods, especially high-histamine foods like tomatoes. So I am on a low-histamine, low salicylate diet, which means a very limited repertoire. It is largely vegetarian, low on fruit (except peeled apples) and fairly bland. I am tapering off coffee and have given up tea. I miss the tea more than anything. Lightly toasted bread and butter are now my favourite snack, as not much else is left!
So I am in the midst of making applesauce, starting by peeling the apples, a tedious job. I bought a huge bag, about 30 pounds, of apples for $10. They are called deer apples here. I buy them, make applesauce or apple butter, feed the cores and peels to the goats and chickens, and feel satisfied that I did not spend $1.30 a pound on apples in the store.

Changing Platforms, Leaders and... New Questions
New thought leaders. New paradigms. New providers. New ways to get better results. There's a lot of "new" out there these days. Yes, the legal landscape is changing. I think all of this is well-said in a post by Jordan Furlong, which quotes from a Seth Godin piece on the legal community needing to be ready for change… and that historically it has been very difficult for the legal community to do so. So much is invested in the way things have always been done, and less thought and effort was traditionally put into looking ahead to see how to adapt, improve and excel in new environments.
In the past, it boiled down to this: Why change if there's no pressure to do so?
Today, I think the issues have an orbit around a very different question: I need to change, but how do I do it?
This is a pretty dramatic leap for the legal profession, and a question that touches almost every area of both business and practice: the way teams function; defining value to legal work; hourly rates; alternative fee arrangements; taking more work in-house; collaboration; ESI policies; coordinated discovery responses; centralized e-discovery counsel; technology, software, and hardware; project management; data-based decision-making; documented protocols; resource allocation and definition; repeatable processes; quantifiable cost savings; etc., etc., etc. These issues rattle the core of how legal work has traditionally been handled.
Change is simultaneously difficult and exciting and, in the case of the legal profession, very necessary. In fact, it's very rare to see anyone involved in the legal profession – whether in-house, law firm, service provider, or vendor – publicly say that change isn't necessary (and usually "dramatic" or "seismic" is prominently involved in the statement somewhere). It also means that there are more people with "change" roadmaps for sale than every before.
As Furlong's post states, there will be more casualties as we embark on this journey. That's the rule, not the exception. That's not a bad thing, is it? If you can't help clients change and improve, there's really no room for you in the new legal marketplace anyway.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Just when you thought the BYU Cougars couldn't come up with another way to lose a close game in this season of underachievement, they turned in Saturday's result at Spartan Stadium. San Jose State 20, BYU 14. The Spartans won it in front of 15,494 fans. I'm guessing that about half the crowd was cheering for BYU. I had to file my game story for the newspaper as soon as the game ended to beat deadline, and then a write-through just 10 minutes later. As a result, I wasn't able to get to the locker room after the game and talk to coach Bronco Mendenhall or any of the players. San Jose State's sports information department sent an employee to the postgame interviews and issued some comments from BYU coaches and players after the game, however. Apparently, BYU receiver Cody Hoffman finished the game playing with a "substantial" shoulder injury. More will be known on Monday. BYU quarterback Riley Nelson was hurt again, coach Bronco Mendenhall said, although the extent of Nelson's injury was not made clear. "He took another hard shot and the guy is very resilient," Mendenhall said. "We had James [Lark] ready because Riley was hurting. We weren't sure how and if he was going to be able to continue and he just kept recovering and recovering. He gave us a chance to win the game." Regarding the sack and forced fumble that ended BYU's chances, Mendenhall said that San Jose State linebacker Keith Smith made a great play. "We went for a cut block and the guy flew over the top," Mendenhall said. Here's more from Mendenhall, courtesy of SJSU: On San Jose's quick start: "We just were not concentrating very well on our assignments. They had some nice concentration plays that forced our players to really concentrate from the beginning of the play to the end of the play. They had three big plays to start the game and then we decided to play and concentrate. Give San Jose State credit for the way they started the game."On BYU's defense struggling early: "I think [BYU's defense] played three quarters of good football. San Jose has a good offense and can put a lot of points on the board." On not playing good defense for four quarters: "I think so, especially against good teams. They dug us into a hole and we couldn't get out." On BYU rushing for 87 yards and passing for 335: "We don't like the imbalance. Some of it has to do with us playing from behind. If the runs were more successful, we obviously would have run the ball more." On the onside kick recovery: "I was really excited. It was a real nice onside kick. We executed it real well and had two and a half minutes still to go with a timeout and it couldn't have been set up any better. We had a couple false starts right after that in a critical moment that really hurt us."

DeKALB – The news of Northern Illinois' postseason football future, announced Sunday night, didn't take long to spread across campus.
NIU's Jan. 1 Orange Bowl date with Florida State coupled with the opinion of ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit – who referred to the Huskies' selection as "an absolute joke" – turned out to be enough to ignite students on social media.
"Facebook just blew up and it's all everyone's been talking about ," said Joe Themig, an NIU student from Decatur. "It's really exciting – it's kind of surprising because I didn't know if we could get into that kind of bowl, but the chips kind of fell the right way.
"I know ESPN was kind of dogging us, but I think we'll show them what we're made of."
Students said NIU's trip south has been a hot topic campuswide on a day when unseasonably warm temperatures brought shorts and an array of Huskies' themed T-shirts to re-emerge from storage. The university's offer of free tickets to any student who can make it to Miami on their own also made checking online airline and bus fares a top priority.
Themig said he has plenty of friends planning on making the trip, but at least for now, he won't be joining them.
"Unfortunately, I've already got plans, so I have to see what I can do to finagle out of them," he said.
By Monday morning, the excitement over NIU's bowl berth had taken over Village Commons Bookstore, where employees were trying to create space for freshly printed Orange Bowl merchandise. The store is already filled with NIU shirts, hats and other Huskies' gear – even without any clothing commemorating the program's MAC championship or its Miami meeting with the Seminoles.
Store manager Jody Boardman said Monday morning she had already pre-ordered Orange Bowl material from two athletic clothing manufacturers last week before the Huskies knocked off then No. 17-ranked Kent State, 44-37, in double overtime Friday night in Detroit.
The victory put the Huskies' in line for their BCS berth after NIU jumped from No. 21 to No. 15 in the standings, edging out some bigger-conference competition.
"It's a big flipping deal," said Linda Christensen, the business manager at Village Commons, who has worked at the store for 28 years and can't remember anything quite like this.
Boardman said she's currently at the mercy of manufacturers who are scrambling to get Orange Bowl merchandise printed. She hopes to have the clothing shipped overnight and expects it could be in stores as early as Tuesday.
In the meantime, Monday, Boardman was taking phone orders for BCS-themed merchandise, which will certainly bolster normal holiday sales typically dominated by out-of-town alumni purchasing NIU clothing for Christmas gifts.
As excited as students were about the Huskies' achievement, they were equally frustrated by ESPN's Sunday night treatment. Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback, said NIU wasn't deserving of a BCS berth despite its 12-1 record.
One local gas station posted its disgust on its sign, with a message reading, "Suck Our Oranges, ESPN. Go Huskies."
But the network's opinions about NIU didn't dampen talk around campus Monday. Kendall Penfield, a student from Ottawa, Ill., said the Huskies had been the main topic of discussion for most of Monday – even among professors who wondered how many students would take advantage of the free ticket offer.
"It's pretty exciting," said Penfield, who attended all of the Huskies' home games this season, but will have to settle for watching the Orange Bowl on television. "I just wish it was closer to home."

man in the park Posts: 4,314Forum Member✭✭✭very funny movie and you get to see a lot of jennifer anniston and the gag reel at the end is funny. Eyebrow boy has a 'funtime' with jen as well0
Cheap Thrills Posts: 242Forum MemberI watched this last night and really enjoyed it. The 'Waterfalls' scene is hilarious. I also loved the scene with Luis Guzmán.0
Went to see it yesterday and at the end (even before the credits) my wife said "that was much better than I expected".
I think that is the film's big problem: people have low expectations of it. The cinema was only a third full, so maybe it's not high on anyone's wish list.
So... it's well-written and has a great cast (not just the leads, but Nick Offerman, Will Poulter, and Molly Quinn amongst others), and some quite dirty jokes and enjoyably gross scenes. Aniston is fine but nothing special; Sudeikis on the other hand is perfect as the misanthropic drug-dealer. All round, a fun film.0
Old.Tallen Posts: 4,679Forum MemberHah, good to read these comments, im being dragged to see this tonight by the better half on the proviso next time we see despicable me20
lovetochat Posts: 737Forum Member✭✭Thought the outtake reel at the end was funny especially the victory song0
Old.Tallen Posts: 4,679Forum MemberNot a bad film if you can get over Jennifer Aniston playing Jeniffer Aniston....again. Otherwise its funny as hell in places, definitely worth a look. Its not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, but quite enjoyable.0
I'm gonna go as far as saying this is a must see It was absolutely hilarious! The cast was perfect. I even have to give credit to the other RV Family because the mum and dad were hilarious too. The whole tampon story had me howling!! Agree with everybody who mentioned the reel at the end. The victory song was hilarious. I loved the 'Oscars' moment too
Jennifer Aniston as a stripper = Wow:o:cool:0

Yes you do, but you don't get further than bra and pants sorry But that alone is worth seeing haha0
Trsvis_Bickle Posts: 9,202Forum Member✭This has really slipped under the radar and I don't understand why. For years we've put up with dire US comedies; Something About Mary, American Pie, Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller vehicles, Bridesmaids, Horrible Bosses, the Hangover franchise etc etc. All of them tedious, self-indulgent, one-note, laboured, unfunny shite. We're the Millers, however, is actually funny. There are some really good gags and the film avoids the mistakes that most US comedy films make of either repeating the same unfunny joke ad nauseam or flogging the heck out of it for 15 minutes. The screenplay's at its best when it's subverting Middle America stereotypes.
The cast are all good, Jennifer Aniston included. I know some people say she always plays Jennifer Aniston but she's actually getting quite good at it.:p Never going to win any Oscars, of course but then it's only lightweight comedy. No-one takes themselves too seriously and it's clear they're all just having fun.
Perhaps because of all the garbage we've had to endure, the marketers seem to have given up on publicing US comedy films. The only poster I've seen had 3 of the protagonists labelled 'Drug Dealer', 'Stripper' and 'Hellraiser' and the fourth 'Kenny'. I assumed that Kenny was the 'normal' guy, surrounded by three madcap characters but that's not the case at all. Apparently on US posters, 'Kenny' was replaced with 'Virgin' and 'Hellraiser' with 'Runaway'.
I can really recommend this film. The humour is a lot closer to British tastes, being harder-edged and more satirical than most US efforts. Even the invitable bonding moments are carefully handled and don't descend into sentimentality. Sure, it sags a bit towards the end and I'm sure the bitten testicles gag could have been replaced with something better but overall, it's a funny film.0

Small & Lovely Outdoor Spaces
In most urban areas, having even a few feet of dirt to call your own is considered a luxury, but these tiny, beautifully designed, outdoor spaces truly exemplify living large in small quarters.
Small gardens have their advantages: they are easier to maintain, small details make a noticeable impression and even a few square feet of earth offer exciting possibilities. Some have small gardens out of necessity, but for a person like me whose thumbs aren't exactly green, but who loves lounging outdoors, a large outdoor space would be too much to handle — the tiniest plot of land is the perfect thing.

Georgia product could be important for Golden Eagles in 2011-12
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Media outlets have showered praise on Tennessee Tech's top returnees this fall, but it was freshman forward Ryon Riggins who recently drew praise from ESPN in its Ohio Valley Conference preview.
Mike LaPlante, writing for ESPN's Recruiting Nation, called Riggins the "Incoming Sleeper" in the league this season, saying the Golden Eagles have reaped the rewards of establishing a recruiting presence in the state of Georgia by landing Riggins.
Riggins is a 6-9 product of North Gwinnett High School in Norcross, Ga., in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
LaPlante says Riggins fits the Golden Eagles' system perfectly and could become an important role player in Tech's hunt for an OVC championship this season.
"(Riggins) needs to develop physically and become more aggressive," the report reads. "Although he has an unassuming game, he is an intriguing prospect because he is a long, bouncy athlete that covers a lot of ground and is surprisingly skilled. With his face-up 4-man skills, Riggins fits the Tech system perfectly.
"If he can adjust to the college game quickly, he should find his way into some serious playing time and could end up playing an important role in Tennessee Tech's run toward an OVC title and the NCAA Tournament bid that goes with it."
Riggins averaged a double-double throughout his high school career, scoring 11 points and grabbing 12 rebounds per game as a two-year letterman at power forward and center. He was named co-captain of his team as a senior.
Tech opens its season Friday, Nov. 11 at Miami (Fla.) with a 6 p.m. CST tip-off. The Golden Eagles play their first home game Tuesday, Nov. 15 against Reinhardt College at 7 p.m.
Season tickets for the 2011-12 Golden Eagle home schedule are currently on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center, or by calling (931) 372-3940.

BERLIN (AP) -- The first banks stepped forward Friday to make €137.2 billion ($183 billion) in early repayments on the European Central Bank's cheap, three-year emergency loans, in a sign of easing market conditions in the euro area.
The ECB launched the unprecedented €1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) loan operation in two tranches at the end of 2011 and again in February 2012 in an attempt to relieve stress on banks at the height of the debt crisis in the group of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro.
The repayments announced by the ECB Friday were slightly higher than expected by most analysts, whose estimates ranged around €100 billion.
"This is a sign of easing tensions in the eurozone," said Holger Schmieding, an economist with Berenberg Bank in London. "It's a vote of confidence by the banks in themselves and in the euro."
When it launched the loans, known as the Long-Term Refinancing Operation, the ECB's aim was to ensure lenders had enough funding to do business so that the flow of credit to the wider economy wasn't squeezed. The loans have been credited with easing the region's debt crisis by tackling fears that one or more of its shaky banks might fail.
At the time the program was launched, banks were given the option to pay back the loans early, with the repayment window opening at the end of January. Analysts have been eager to see how many banks would join the scheme, as it would give an indication whether parts of the eurozone's financial system were returning to health.
"The patients no longer need that much medicine," said Ulrich Kater, an economist with DekaBank in Frankfurt. "That was a voluntary dosage reduction, so this is a step back on the road to normalcy," he added.
The euro, used by some 330 million people across the 17-nation bloc, rose against the dollar by 0.5 percent to above $1.34, its highest level in several months.
As well as helping banks, the loans also provided indirect relief to heavily indebted countries, such as Spain and Italy, which were facing high borrowing costs in bond markets. Flush with cheap credit from the ECB, banks started buying government debt. That raised bond prices and lowered bond interest rates, which equates to lower borrowing costs for the struggling countries.
Overall, the eurozone is experiencing a lull in its 3-year-old debt crisis, with bullish financial markets and further decreasing borrowing costs for weaker eurozone nations. Many analysts say that's because fears of a eurozone break-up have almost vanished since the ECB last year announced that it was prepared to buy up unlimited quantities of bonds of countries struggling with their borrowing costs.
The central bank said 278 lenders will make the early repayments on Jan. 30. In keeping with the ECB's usual practice, the central bank identified neither the lenders involved nor the countries they come from.
Nomura analyst Nick Matthews said the lion's share of Friday's payback most likely came from banks in the eurozone's stronger countries including Germany, France or the Netherlands. Nomura estimates, however, that about two-thirds of the ECB's loan offering was taken by lenders in the bloc's more troubled members, including Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Greece.
When the ECB lent €489 billion to 523 banks in late December 2011 and another €529.5 billion to 800 banks at the end of February, it was charging its main interest rate of 1 percent. Since then, the ECB's benchmark interest rate has been lowered to 0.75 percent -- meaning banks can now get short-term funding from the central bank at an even cheaper rate.
DekaBank's Kater said the fact that banks are giving back part of their secure long-term funding to return to cheaper -- but riskier -- short-term operations is a further sign of healthier financing conditions in the eurozone.
Several analysts forecast that banks will also use a redemption date next month to start paying back the second tranche of emergency loans, bringing the total repayment to about €300 billion -- or a third of the total amount.
When the ECB offered the loans, there were concerns -- particularly in Germany -- that the increased supply of money in the economy would push up inflation. Analysts now say that the early repayments back to the ECB should reduce the risk of prices rising too quickly.
"As a side effect, the repayment shows that the German fear of the ECB's big balance sheet causing inflation is irrational," said Berenberg Bank's Schmieding.
"It shows that it's easy for the ECB to scale down its operations again when it's the appropriate time."

Dramatis Personae
A young man with his feet on the ground and his head in the sky, and an inclination to implement the occasional headstand.
Nuile, Wordsmith
Penman of a number of BIONICLE and Neopets short stories, as well as three epics, based respectively on the aforementiond and Avatar: The Last Airbender. This writer has also penned a full-length mystery novel, a work in progress pending final revisions and publication.
More than that, the BZPower League of Authors was his brainchild, which he has developed into the Ambage with the help of Velox, Cederak and 55555. This refuge and practice arena for writers is open to all with a penchant for the literary arts.
Nuile, Bibliophile
For him to select a favorite book, or a favorite writer, would be impossible. But of the latter, he most admires Dame Agatha Christie, Wilkie Collins, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Harper Lee, C.S. Lewis, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Sinclair Lewis. Favorite books he includes in this chart:
To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
The Moonstone (Collins)
Murder on the Orient Express, Death in the Clouds, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The Clocks (Christie)
The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Lost World (Doyle)
Out of the Silent Planet (C.S. Lewis)
Free Air (Sinclair Lewis)
The Bat (Hopwood and Rinehart)
The Nine Tailors (Sayers)
Nuile, Cinéaste
This fellow thinks the world begins and ends with Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Before its birth, however, he confesses that Sam Raimi and David Koepp's Spider-Man, Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer's Batman Begins, the Indiana Jones series, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins were films more than worthy of watching.
Nuile, Television Viewer
The Dick Van Dyke Show by far surpasses any television show produced prior or hence. Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver and The Andy Griffith Show are excellent series from a similar time frame. MacGyver is hard to beat. Diagnosis Murder, Monk and Murder, She Wrote are his favorite mystery series. In animation he most enjoys Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel; Batman: The Animated Series alongside Batman Beyond and The Batman; Phineas and Ferb, one of the most creatively funny cartoons he has ever seen.
Nuile, Cuisinier
Asian and Italian foods may be his enthusiasms, but he's not above a juicy burger or a spicy taco. As far as his own cooking, he oft gets more adventurous than his family appreciates, though when he behaves he can conjure a reason for your taste buds to celebrate. By far his favorite meal: Thanksgiving 2011, consisting of Paula Dean's Indian Succotash, Grean Bean Casserole, Orange Corn Bread, Bacon Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Coconut Biscuits, and Mashed Cauliflower and Potatoes.
Nuile, Musicologist
He pleads guilty to sheer ignorance, unworthy even of being called an amateur in this department. But dramatic scores and profound lyrics top his charts. The Impossible Dream from The Man of La Mancha and I Can Go the Distance as performed by Michael Bolton are cited as his two favorite songs, amidst much of Celtic Thunder's work.
Nuile, Gamer
Disney's Epic Mickey, the Kingdom Hearts series, and the Pokémon series are the only video games he considers worthy of notation.
Nuile, Sportsman
As fast on his feet as he is between the ears, he enjoys games of muscle and of strategy. Physically, he likes most to play football; but nothing beats a game of chess in his book.
The Art of Writing
More tangibly, one of the most important characteristics a writer can possess is tenacity. An artist's life is never an easy one. An artist presents themself to the world, and ineluctably there will be critics alongside the fans. But anyone who knows real love won't let it be quelled by what others think. Never give up, never despond. So maybe nobody's perfect; I'm not, and I never will be. But an artist, like a monk, is one who always strives to improve her- or himself, who never ceases to reach for the unreachable. Every amelioration is an achievement. And every day a writer achieves something merely by writing, for every word written is a word toward amelioration. If you are good, you can always be better; if you are great, you can always be greater.
What matters most for writers is that they take pride in their own own work. Ultimately your biggest fan and your biggest critic is yourself, and that's who you have to please the most. No artist truly passionate about their art does what they do for someone's approval or just to get paid. At the heart of every artist is a person who does what they do because they love to do it. I'm an artist; I'm a writer. I don't stop trying to get better, I don't stop striving for perfection--but I enjoy every step of the amelioration process, I appreciate every improvement, and I am always happy with where I am, yet always be eager about where I'm going. Writing is a journey with no destination. Writing is a quest without end. Writing is spiritual nomadism.
And it's not easy. It's frought with difficulty, trouble, disappointment, and grief--but a journey without end gives its reward not in the destination but in every step of the path.
Yet I have not even touched upon just what a writer is; which is because a writer, simply put, is everything. A writer is an artist, but also a psychologist, and a logician, a philosopher, a scientist, an adventurer, an inventor, a politician, a magician, and multitudinous others. A writer is everything because they write about everything. "Write what you know"; that's not the rule I live by. "Know what you write," that's my creed. Writers know a little about everything, and everything about a little. And when they don't know . . . they read!
That's a writer's life. It's the kind of life I love. It's a wonderful gift. A writer's life is the kind of life I live and always will live. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - New England College's Amanda Lester tallied three goals, including a penalty stroke, and two assists in a 5-1 win over MIT in non-conference field hockey action on Saturday. Playing their second game in as many days, the Pilgrims improved to 2-0 on the year while the Engineers dropped to 0-1.
Lester recorded her first point of the game by setting up Jodie Dresser for the opening goal after 1:10 had elapsed. Tech posted the equalizer over 10 minutes later when Anna Ayuso connected on a feed from Ashley Thomas during a scramble in front of the cage. Lester gave NEC the lead for good on an unassisted tally with 1:44 remaining in the first half.
The Pilgrims continued to attack in the second stanza, as they out-shot MIT, 10-2. NEC extended its advantage to 3-1 in the 43rd minute after Brittany Vogrin converted a feed from Lester. Lori Zaniboni found Lester for her second goal of the game 15 minutes later. Lester sealed the win by placing a penalty stroke into the top left side of the cage with less than three minutes to play.
In net, Alexa Herman collected seven saves for the Engineers while Jacqui Parker made two stops for the Pilgrims. MIT's Sharon Prange and NEC's Holly Soule each notched a defensive save.
MIT returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 9 when it faces host Vassar College at the Betty Richey Field Hockey Tournament. NEC will host Manhattanville College in its home-opener on Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 4:00 p.m.
