Plot: This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas—it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970’s and ’80’s are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw—Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

Plot: Streetwise mobster-turned-movie producer Chili Palmer is back, but this time Chili has abandoned the fickle movie industry and veered into the music business, tangling with Russian mobsters and gangsta rappers and taking a talented, feisty young singer named Linda Moon under his wing. From the recording studio to an Aerosmith concert to the MTV Music Awards, he manipulates events to watch them play out the Chili way, using his signature blend of wiseguy skills and negotiation tactics. It’s a dangerous business, and everyone’s looking for their next big hit.
What did you think of the Tebow Pro-life commercial?
I mean in a sense it seems pretty balanced for both pro-choice and pro-life, since his mom basically said she ‘chose’ not to abort him. Right?
(Yes, I’m pro-choice though this commercial was just ‘ok-cool’ for me)
Plot: Military police detectives Paul Brenner and Sarah Sunhill investigate a horrifically bizarre rape and murder of a respected female Pysch-Ops officer who is also the daughter of a renowned retiring general. Yet the case becomes more complicated when the autopsy showed no evidence of sexual assault. Furthermore, that is but the beginning of the twists when they discover the victim’s secret life, her past and a disturbing determination by senior staff to keep this investigation short and quiet.

I need help with these application questions?
okay, do NOT tell me exactly what to write… because it’s about me. I need to fill out a school application where it asks me personal questions. please give me a general idea on what to write, because idk what to write.
I’m 12, shy, I get really good grades, and I do my hw every night, and I guess you can say I make good choices.
1) What qualities of character in your daughter most delight you?
(I have this answer already)
The qualities of character in my daughter that most delight me is that she is respectful, responsible, and trustworthy.
2) What do you believe your daughter will contribute to the (school) community?
3) In your estimation, what are your daughter’s strengths and where do you see room for growth?
4)What are your expectations of (School) for your daughter?
5)Is there any additional information about your daughter you’d like to share with us?
hey ur mother needs to fill the form, still try these answers, i passed school and am in college so i know how tough these questions really are.but still your effort to find the answers tells of ur intelligence, so keep it up kiddo.ask me for any further assistance
2. she will be an asset to the school as she is a hard worker who inspires others by her work alone, she is good natured and makes friends wherever she goes and brings out the best in everyone around her. she is dedicated to her work and a perfectionist by nature.
3. her ability to adapt to any situation and her nature of facing life for what it really is are her greatest strengths.she takes the ups and downs of life in her stride.she could improve though by being the best in something than being something in everything.
4. the school should not only teach her how to win, but also how to lose and learn something positive from it. it should teach her to ask the why in everything. the school should teach her just one thing i.e to learn from life itself and to always be open for something new.
5. she is an amiable kid but needs a little nudge to come out of her shell, a positive attitude of teachers and friends is needed to bring out the best in her.

I remember my mother doing these questions for a high school I applied to. You don’t answer these questions. The school wants your parents to do this to see if you are a good candidate for the school
Vae | Dec 28, 2009
Shouldn’t your parent be answering this type of questions for you, these are the type of questions my kids bring home for an adult to fill and sign.
Well you have your reasons, in 2) my Daughter is committed person and will contribute greatly to the community.
3)She is a high flyer, determination is one strength of hers, the room for growth is shyness.
4)To continue in the best of way of manners and politeness, most of all keep the grades and not let it drop.
5)She is very helpful and caring.

Plot: When a devastating hit knocks a professional football legend and quarterback Cap Rooney (Denis Quaid) out of the game, a young, unknown third-stringer is called in to replace him. Having ridden the bench for years because of a string of bad luck stories and perhaps insufficient character, Willie Beaman (Jamie Foxx) seizes what may be his last chance, and lights up the field with a raw display of athletic prowess. His stunning performance over several games is so outstanding and fresh it seems to augur a new era in the history of this Miami franchise, and forces aging coach Tony D’Amato (Al Pacino) to reevaluate his time-tested values and strategies and begin to confront the fact that the game, as well as post-modern life may be passing him by. Adding to the pressure on D’Amato to win at any cost is the aggressive young President/Co-owner of the team, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), now coming into her own after her father’s death. Christina’s driving desire to prove herself in a male dominated world is intensified by her focus on the marketing and business of football, in which all coaches and players are merely properties.
NFL’s parity a myth: Any given Sunday no longer true
14.10.09
The NFL is the country’s most popular sport for several reasons, and somehow the perceived parity of the league is one of them. Loads of NFL fans will tell you that their league’s the best because they think there’s more balance in it than there is in baseball.
But the reality is the NFL is just as unbalanced as any other league, if not more.
Ask a Buffalo Bills fan if he thinks there’s a lot of parity in the league; their team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2000.
How about the St. Louis Rams? They have won five of their last 37 games.
The Kansas City Chiefs are a little better, but not by much. They’ve won six of their last 37.
The easiest target has to be the Detroit Lions, who have lost 27 of their last 29 contests.
Sure, every year a team or two in the NFL surprises some people and makes a playoff run, but that happens in every sport, especially baseball.
In 2008 the Rays earned a place in the World Series. And in 2007 it was the Colorado Rockies making the shocking trip to the Fall Classic.
Think the NFL’s wild because the Arizona Cardinals went 9-7 but still played in the Super Bowl? How about in 2006 when the St. Louis Cardinals went 83-79 (51.6 winning percentage, worse than Arizona’s) and actually won the title?
The truth is the competition in the NFL is ultimately as predictable as in baseball. Who’s going to be good this year in the NFL? It will probably by the Patriots, Colts, Steelers and Chargers.
One can forecast the participants in the NFL postseason just as easily as in the MLB.
And if anyone needs recent proof of the gross unbalance in the NFL, look no further than the slate of games in week five of the 2009 NFL season.
The now 5-0 Minnesota Viking beat the 0-5 St. Louis Rams by four touchdowns, the 4-1 Eagles defeated the 0-5 Bucs, 33-14, the 5-0 Colts beat the 0-5 Titans by 22 points and the 5-0 Giants were victorious over Oakland, 44-7.
The old phrase “any given Sunday” doesn’t make much sense anymore, because nearly a third of the teams in the league are flat-out miserable. Right now there are nine teams with one or no wins five weeks into the season, a little over 28 percent.
The bottom tier of the NFL is not only miserable, it’s full.
And these teams aren’t even competing. St. Louis has a point differential of minus-112, meaning the Rams are losing by an average of 22.4 points per week, and only once have they been within 18 of their opponent.
The Raiders have won a game but have still managed to have a minus-81 point differential, averaging 16.2-point losses per game.
In addition, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Tennessee and Cleveland are all losing games by an average of double digits.
And on the top of the league, there are seven clubs averaging double-digit victories. Over a third of the teams in the league are averaging double-digit point margins; doesn’t sound like much balance to me.
People complain about the haves and the have-nots in baseball. They say it’s unfair how the Yankees, the Red Sox and the Angels are always good and how the Pirates and the Royals are always bad. Well, it’s the same way in football.
Barring any drastic changes in the near future, you’ll still have your Lions, and your Browns, and your Raiders losing. It’s pretty easy to predict who’s not going to the playoffs in the NFL, even before the season’s a third done.
The NFL’s great on so many levels, but, despite popular opinions, you can’t say parity’s one of them. You’re always going to have your perennial powerhouses and your loser franchises.
That’s how it is in baseball, and it’s the same way in football.

Plot: Seriocomic story based on the memoir by Beverly Donofrio, the movie follows a young woman who finds her life radically altered by an event from her teen years. Born in 1950, Beverly grew up bright and ambitious in a working-class neighborhood in Connecticut; her father was a tough but good-hearted cop who listened to his daughter’s problems, and her mother was a nervous woman eager to imagine the worst. From an early age, Beverly displays a keen intelligence and an interest in literature, and dreams of going to college in New York and becoming a writer. However, she also develops an early interest in boys, and at 15 finds herself madly in love with a boy from her high school. However, an attempt to get his attention leads to an embarassing incident at a party, and Ray, a sweet but thick-headed 18-year-old, steps forward to defend her. Beverly and Ray end up making out, and after one thing leads to another, Beverly discovers she’s pregnant. Telling Ray is only marginally less difficult than informing her parents, and at 16, Beverly is a wife and mother. Against the odds, Beverly is determined to still finish high school and go on to college, but that goal becomes more difficult with time, especially after Beverly’s marriage begins to fall apart. Ray tries to do the right thing but has trouble holding a job, and becomes addicted to heroin.
How can I get this boy to like me?
So there is this guy who I have been liking since my freshmen year of college and we have always been friends. I am now a junior in college and we are still friends. A little more detail to the story is that we have been sexual partners for the majority of college career. When we first met I waited about 5 months before having sex with him because I wanted to make sure he liked me. Some of the things we did were wash our clothes together, hang out, watch movies, wash his hair, and other things so I reallythough he liked me. When I asked him did he like me he said he didn’t like me like that (this is after we had sex). We stopped hanging out for a little while after that but then we started haning out maybe about two months later and sex was still inclusive and the deal was to not have any sexual partners (we both stuck to this deal I think).
2 1/2 years later we are still just friends and this weekend he let’s me drive his truck on a 4 hr trip and I bring it to his house saturday night. I got lost going to his house (my GPS messed me up) and I had to get his mom to come get me and let me follow her to their house (which i’ve never been to and think he was kinda uncomfortable). He said he wasn’t mad but I thought he was cause he said he was never doing this again. We have to ride back to school together today which is about an hour and half trip and it’s going to be really awkward.
His dad seemed to like me…or atleast we had a really good conversation.
I thought that by letting me have his truck for a whole weekend (and just let my car sit at school) that he maybe had started to like me.
Do you think there is any chance that he will ever like me?
How should I act?
I still really like him and most of the time I get over boys really easy but he is different for some reason and Im not really sure y. I know part of the reason is because he is the 2nd person I ever had sex with in my life
I am not ugly and I am really smart and independent.
What are my chances?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO?????
please this is really important to me…so don’t leave any rude comments.
oh sorry…i fell asleep for a minute!…listen if a guy gives you his truck then theres something there

u r being used. all he wants u for is sex. if he can’t see u for the great person u are then its not worth it. ur having trouble letting go because you’ve had sex. when people have sex, the relationship changes. it can mess u up, which is why its good to wait till marriage. he isn’t the one for u, find someone who loves u, not ur body.
