Titanium frame with excellent components spec (click to enlarge).
We don't know how Bikes Direct does it, but they're continually able to sell bikes that cost less than the sum of all components. We checked out their Motobecane Ti mountain bike and their road bikes recently and they fared well.
What we really liked was their titanium frame cause it looked great and rode even better. It really was not easy to detect the cosmetic or the ride difference between this Ti frame and boutique brands.
Motobecane NightTrain seat tube (click to enlarge).
That's why this Ti fat bike introduction is quite interesting. They will bring to market bikes with well built Ti frames and good component specs. Titanium seems to be a great match for fat bikes since it does not corrode. Often used in snow, sand or salty areas, frame corrosion is a key enemy of fat bikes.
Motobecane NightTrain dropouts (click to enlarge).
The NightTrain Ti Bullet is different from the Sturgis as it upgrades to RaceFace Turbine cranks, Guide RS Brakes, SRAM X9, and 120 TPI tires.

Titanium frame with excellent components spec.
Motobecane NightTrain with RockShox Bluto suspension fork.
Motobecane NightTrain head tube is tapered.
Motobecane NightTrain seatstays have room for up to 5.0 inch tires.
Motobecane Sturgis has the same frame as the Sturgis but has a lower level spec.
that's a sweet deal on a Ti fat bike!!
I got my Motobecane 2016 Sturgis Bullet Ti last week after much hand ringing, and could not be happier. I can't believe how much bike I got for the money. Great deal so far!
What does it end up weighing assembled?
I'm considering one of these. How much does your Motobecane 2016 Sturgis Bullet Ti weigh? I'm interested, but would like that information before I purchase.
Come on, someone lift the bike while they are on a bathroom scale and then subtract their own weight. I want one but I gotta know before I drop $2300. POST THE WEIGHT ALLREADY!!
Word is it weighs ~35lb, approximately the same as the aluminum.
How much does it weigh? You have to be kidding me. It's a FAT bike, for crying out loud. If you are contemplating buying a fat bike… and are concerned with "weight"… then save your $2300 and buy a regular mountain bike. ALL fat bikes are far heavier than regular mountain bikes. Weight has very little do with a bikes performance…. even 5 pounds one way or the other makes little difference. A 200 pound man's body weight normally fluctuates 5-7 pounds daily…… so a bike weighing 5 pounds one way or the other means very little. Get over it and buy a fat bike and stop worrying about weight.
Nothing wrong with considering and asking about weight on a bike. Someone said 35 pounds which is flat wrong. I rebuilt mine (carbon fork) with different components and somewhat lighter wheels, running tubeless, 1×10 drivetrain, and I'm right around 25 pounds, which is nice. I don't think I'd enjoy riding a 35-40 pound fat bike nearly as much. Cheers.

HotelAbout the HotelExplore Jeddah
Explore Jeddah
The Bride of the Red Sea
Rich in art, culture and design, Jeddah is the modern face of Saudi Arabia. It's also the gateway to the holy city of Makkah and home to the picture-perfect Al-Balad Old Town. Experience it with us to discover a city full of surprises.
The port city of Jeddah hugs the Red Sea coastline and is an ancient trading city that's transformed into a modern commercial hub. It also serves as the gateway for pilgrimages to the Islamic holy cities Makkah and Madinah.
Whether it's wandering some of the world's greatest museums, exploring cutting-edge galleries and traditional artisan houses, or watching the latest blockbuster at a film festival, we have our finger on the pulse of all the hottest cultural happenings.
Historical Al-Balad
Just a short drive from the Shangri-La is Jeddah's Historic District, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the only surviving urban ensemble of the Red Sea cultural world. This walkable neighbourhood, known as Al-Balad, is filled with ancient architecture and artifacts dating back to the 7th century.
While there, take a tour of the Abdul Raouf Khalil Museum, Nasseef House and the remnants of the Jeddah Wall or stop by the variety of souks to soak up the authentic culture.
Hayy Jameel
Hayy Jameel is a dedicated arts complex and creative hub for Saudi Arabia. Hayy references an Arabic word for neighbourhood, denoting the convivial and collaborative nature of the complex and its intent on bringing together a wide range of creative disciplines in one destination.
Hafez Gallery
Established in 2014 by Qaswra Hafez, the gallery's mission is to highlight the Saudi art scene and facilitate local talents. Over the years, Hafez Gallery has maintained a schedule of exhibitions and shows from a wide selection of established artists from across the Arab world, ranging from Syria to Egypt, Sudan to Lebanon along with international artists from outside the region.
Red Sea International Film Festival
Launched in 2019 and held in Jeddah every year, the festival mainly focuses on new storytelling trends in the art of film, as well as emerging talents from Saudi Arabia, the Arab world and the rest of the Global South. It screens not only new movies but classic favourites from the Middle East over ten days.
There are few better ways to immerse yourself in a destination than through sport. Spend the day working on your swing at the golf course, step into the feverish atmosphere of a stadium or head into the pit of an F1 circuit and feel the thrill of a crowd with Shangri-La.
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
Steps away from the Shangri-La you'll find the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, home to the 'fastest street track' and second-longest track on the Formula One calendar.
King Abdullah Sports City
Nicknamed The Shining Jewel, this multi-use stadium and sports city is located 30 kilometers north of Jeddah. The main stadium is used for football and is the second biggest in Saudi Arabia.
Outside the main stadium, the city has three separate football fields and four small indoor arenas plus six tennis courts and a large indoor arena for other sports.
Royal Greens Golf & Country Club
This 18-hole championship golf course, playing to a 72 par and a maximum length of just over 7,000 yards, is located in King Abdullah Economic City north of Jeddah. It has hosted tournaments on the European Tour, Asian Tour, and the Ladies European Tour and the inaugural season of the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
If your holiday isn't complete without a little retail therapy, Shangri-La has you covered. We've scoured Jeddah to find the best shopping experiences, from high-end boutiques to the high street, hidden gems at one-of-one shoppes, private ateliers and ancient markets.
Housing the flagship stores of some of the world's most coveted luxury brands, Boulevard is home to 36 boutiques in a sleek and stylish environment that's inspired by light and nature.
Located on King Abdulaziz Road, this shopping and entertainment destination is spread across 242,000 square meters and hosts everything from department stores and local shops to the local events and the only indoor karting in Saudi Arabia.
Historic Souqs
A must-do on your trip to the historic neighbourhood of Al-Balad is wandering through the streets and discovering the many souqs, or traditional markets. Here you'll find everything from antiques to the latest trends and souvenirs. Be sure to check out the popular Souq Nada and Souq Al-Khaskeya.
The preferred mode of transportation around Jeddah is via private car or taxi, as the city does not have an extensive public transportation system. If you would like to hire a car during your stay, we are happy to make the necessary arrangements.

President Donald Trump's cabinet is divided over where to set the limit on refugee admissions for the coming year, with the Homeland Security Department pushing to lower the cap to 40,000, and the State Department and Pentagon wanting to keep it at 50,000, according to current and former U.S. officials.
Mr. Trump is expected to receive a final recommendation from the cabinet on Wednesday, with a final decision due by the start of the fiscal year on Oct. 1, according to officials.
Tale of a Refugee: Finding Work on the Bottom Rung
Joshua Mahinanda Kangere, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo, arrived to the U.S. two months ago amid the legal battle over President Trump's immigration orders. In Congo, Joshua worked as a nurse but now, to rebuild his life in Connecticut, he's restarting his career from the lowest rung.

Q: SELECT COUNT(*) expensive query mysql? I have following query:
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS `numrows`
    FROM (`phppos_items`)
    WHERE `deleted` =  0

explain:
mysql> explain SELECT COUNT(*) AS `numrows`
    -> FROM (`phppos_items`)
    -> WHERE `deleted` =  0;
+----+-------------+--------------+------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table        | type | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra       |
+----+-------------+--------------+------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | phppos_items | ref  | deleted       | deleted | 4       | const |    1 | Using index |
+----+-------------+--------------+------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------------+

Will this query always be indexed AND fast as the rows in the table grow?

A: "Will this query always be indexed AND fast as the rows in the table grow?"
Definitely not necessarily. If there are many records and/or the value of deleted is skewed in some way (i.e. it's (nearly) always one particular value, or split 50-50), then the optimiser may decide to ignore a given index. Googling "why does mysql not use an index" gives 3.5M results
[EDIT]
You said:
"Thank you for your answer. Is there a different type of query I can use to count the number of rows with a WHERE clause?"
No -  that's what COUNT() is for. See here. Basically, you can't get round problems like the one you outline - indexes are frequently helpful, but there's no "magic bullet" that will cope well with all data volumes and profiles.
To see how difficult this problem is, check here - that's > 600 pages on the fundamentals of how an RDBMS decides on the best plan for a query. It is far from a trivial problem!

Robert Alan Bell is a New Hampshire Resident who broke three laws. He voted twice in a federal election. He broke the law in Florida, New Hampshire, and Federal law. Has he been served a Subpoena by the New Hampshire Attorney General's office?
To the best of our knowledge, no.
But when James O'Keefe brought evidence to the NH AG, they served him with a Grand Jury Subpoena. Why?
Why O'Keefe and not Bell?
We don't know what the AG is investigating or why James has to appear to testify. We do know that Bell broke the law. So, what gives? And here's the part where you can help.
On Monday Morning, call, write, or visit the NH AG's office and ask. Regardless of what the reasoning is behind the O'Keefe Subpoena why haven't you served Bell? You have a confession on tape. You have documented evidence and testimony. So, what gives?
Where's his subpoena? Investigate Robert Bell for double-voting in New Hampshire.


You can buy and sell horses in almost any town in Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as finding some wild beauties on your travels.
There's a special white-maned Arabian horse you can find that is arguably one of the best horses in the game. It's the fastest wild horse that you can get too, so a good one for a thrifty cowboy.
The horse is hidden away in the Northwest of the map and because there's a lot of snow on the ground, it can be easy to miss. You can go and find this horse as soon as you're able to free roam around the map and it's worth doing early on.
Start by heading up to Lake Isabella . As the horse is a wild animal it will run around the lake and not stand still for long, so just bear that in mind. Also, keep your eye out for wolves and the like, because the last thing you need here is to end up as dog food.
This horse is quite difficult to tame, so you may need to follow it for a while to try and calm it down enough for you to approach it.
Once you find the horse, hold down LT/L2 and approach the horse very slowly. There is a bar in the bottom right corner you need to watch. If the bar begins to deplete, quickly tap X/square to calm the horse down.
If the horse begins to get agitated you'll need to slow down or simply stop moving to let it calm down again before you can continue. Once you're close enough you'll be able to pat your new friend and then mount it.
It's also worthwhile studying the horse once you're close enough and the horse is calm enough.
Once you've mounted the horse, you'll need to try and break it in. Hold in the Left analogue stick and move it in the opposite direction of the horse's movement to stay balanced. So if the horse moves forward, hold back, if it moves left, hold right, etc.
Keep fighting it like this and you'll get a notification once you've successfully broken it in. You can now take it over to your previous horse to swap your saddle over to it. The horse is now yours forever and should continue to bond with it to improve its obedience and performance.
This white Arabian has a health and stamina rating of five, and speed and acceleration ratings of six. It also has Elite handling.
The Arabian breed seems to be the best of all horses in Red Dead Redemption and there are two others you can buy, one of which is black and the other rose, through story progression. They have slightly better health and stamina compared to the white horse, but it's the only one you can find in the wild.
You can find out where to get the War horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 in our guide here.
Now that you've got yourself a beautiful new horse, you'll need to take care of it properly, so here's our horse care guide, including how to brush your horse. You can find out how to change horses in our guide here.

Blogging success and blog readers are not an overnight phenomenon. As well as great ideas and great content, a blog also needs SEO support and with the right process and a dose of patience, it's not too challenging – even for those running their own blog.
Keyword research is essential for on page optimisation. Chances are you are naturally including keywords without realising it simply by providing valuable content on a topic. However, there are a variety of tools and techniques for finding related keywords relevant to your blog post that you may not have considered. The Google Adwords Keyword Tool is a great tool that allow you to find keywords related to your topic and even spy on your favourite blogs to see what words and phrases they are targeting to bring traffic to their sites.
A word of caution: Don't engage in keyword stuffing, which is the act of filling your content with so many keywords that it becomes difficult to read. Not only will this irritate your blog readers, making your content difficult to read, it will also get you penalised by Google. A couple of strategically placed keywords is enough.
Whenever you upload an image to your blog, be sure to include keywords in the file name and fill out the alternate text field with a brief, keyword rich description of the photo.
When you mention another website, blogger or article in your blog post, include a link to the information you are referencing.

TRANSFER: Central defender leaves by mutual consent
Shaun Brisley signs for the Magpies
@officialcufc
United defender Shaun Brisley has today left the Cumbrians by mutual consent and joined Notts County on a two-year deal.
Brisley, 27, joined the Blues on a two-year deal in the summer of 2016 and scored two goals in his 34 appearances for the club.
Manager Keith Curle said: "I'd like to thank Shaun for his efforts because he's been a pleasure to work with.
"He bought into what we're trying to do from the very first moment he arrived and he's worked hard whenever he's been asked to step up.
"One of the things he identified when we spoke was that he wanted more game time this season, and that was something I couldn't guarantee for him here.
"Part and parcel of the job I have to do at this club is to be creative with the squad and to maximise the potential I have. Having spoken to Shaun at length I think this is a move which works well for him and for the club.
"He's done some good work with us through pre-season and, as I say, we wish him well as he takes his next step."
Brisley came through the ranks at his home town club Macclesfield and went on to make over 125 appearances in his five years on the professional books with the Silkmen.
A half-season loan spell with Peterborough at the beginning of 2012 preceded a permanent move to London Road later that year, and he enjoyed loan spells with Scunthorpe, Northampton and Leyton Orient prior to being released by the Posh at the end of the 2015/16 campaign.
Everyone at the club wishes Shaun all the very best as he moves on to his new club.

By serendipity, I found a YouTube of Paul and Donovan singing a song together (I haven't seen the video itself, but it sounds like only one acoustic guitar between them, probably played by Paul), titled "How Do You Do".
Then I found a website where some guy rather painstakingly tried to transcribe every last word, and it does seem to be a ditty spontaneously cooked up by Paul, with Donovan pitching in here and there:
http://davidgray101.tripod.com.....novan.html
How to suck a lollypopper,
Sitting on a woodypecker,
Dancing in the double-decker shoe,
(Donovan snickers, presumably at Paul's nonsensical lyrics)
I don't know,
How do you do?
I tend to like the "ditty side" of Paul, myself (e.g., "Hey Diddle" and "Bip Bop"), and I wish Paul would develop this "How Do You Do" into a full-fledged song.

Let's not forget the full-length version of one of Paul's more famous improvisations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?.....uYQMRayIuU
Thanks Necko! I never heard the long version. Though I can understand some people thinking that's pretty thin, it also has potential to be worked into a more full-fledged song, even while it has its own peculiar worth in its extemporaneous one-off context. However, if Paul ever did try to do that, he should avoid the temptation to kill the spontaneity of the original by making it too slick and structured.
Necko said
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uYQMRayIuU
Its not complete. The full track lasts 2:21 whereas that runs for 1:56
Again from Winn's 'That Magic Feeling' (a wonderful book and great source)
Take 19 (C), better known as "Can You Take Me Back," was even good enough to make it onto the album. While it originally lasted 2:21, only 1:56 is available in bits and pieces. The first version to surface contained the portions from 0:00–0:25 and 1:08–1:56; the Down In Havana edit consists of roughly the first 1:09. A reconstruction on the bootleg Studio Collection attempts to combine the two, but omits about 18 seconds found on the earlier version.
Pineapple Records said
Thanks Pineapple………!!
I hadn't listened to this all the way thru for years………..Now I know the words I can't stop singing it. In the lift down to the pool…..Singing it in my mind as I swam……forgetting count of my laps……..forgetting to breathe sometimes…… 'Don't know how you do it…but I know you can' Paul. Even this ditty is catchy.
Have you heard 'Heather' Pineapple? Up your street methinks!
Thanks Atlas, I'd never heard that one either! That entire album remains completely off my radar; I'll have to get cracking on it some day... "Heather" has some very nice moments, yet I think it has certain flaws that are typical Paulish, where he seems to be forcing himself rather than going with the whim of his Muse... So I guess I'm mixed about it. Glad you liked that extended Can You Take Me Back, which I think has a more inspired seed.

New statewide coalition aims to boost school readiness
By Kyle S. Mackie • Aug 20, 2019
A new statewide coalition called Raising New York officially launched in August with the aim of increasing the number of children who are prepared to succeed when they start Kindergarten.
WBFO's Kyle Mackie reports.
Raising New York made its debut with the results of a poll it commissioned in July. The statewide survey found that only health care ranked higher than education and child care among the top priorities of likely 2020 voters.

"We have parents, we have early childhood education, civil rights, business and health organizations who are all dedicated to increasing the number of children who are on track for school readiness," said Melodie Baker, co-chair of Raising New York and director of education at United Way of Buffalo and Erie County.
Baker is also chair of the Erie/Niagara Birth to 8 Coalition, which seeks to improve the well-being and education of Western New York children regardless of their life circumstances.
"This a great opportunity to align our efforts, to really gain some momentum, around early childhood and prioritize the needs in Western New York while doing it across the state," she told WBFO.
Research shows that 80 percent of a child's brain development occurs by age 3 and 90 percent by age 5. Those early years are a critical window for preparing children for school. Raising New York was established on the premise that hundreds of thousands of families across New York State lack access to the services and opportunities they need to raise "healthy and thriving children."
"When children go to school Kindergarten ready, they actually cost [the public] less money as adults," said Jamie Rackl, family engagement manager at the Raising New York coalition member Every Person Influences Children (EPIC) in Buffalo. "They're healthier. They're more likely to graduate from high school. They're more likely to go on to college or to a trade. They're more likely to take really better care of themselves; they have fewer co-morbidities."
Letter, number, color and shape recognition are among the skills associated with school readiness.
Raising New York also said school readiness makes students more likely to hold a job, have higher lifelong earnings, own their own home and car, and less likely to commit a crime or become incarcerated, as well as less likely to become pregnant as teenagers. When voters read a brief list of those positive outcomes as part of the recent poll conducted by Global Strategy Group, a majority strongly supported the state doing more for infants and toddlers.
Additionally, an even larger majority of voters (85 percent) supported greater investment of public funds to expand access to high-quality and affordable child care.
Rackl said some of the skills associated with school readiness include letter, number, color and shape recognition. She also said there's a "huge gap" between the achievement of students who enter Kindergarten with those skills and those who do not.
"It can be as simple as asking your child to pick out the yellow cereal box when you take them to the grocery store," Rackl said. "It's not rocket science, but it does take time and confidence, and so EPIC is really—my biggest goal is to build parent confidence that they are their child's first and best teacher."
School readiness is also an economic issue because it affects workers and their children—who are, of course, future workers. Over half of parents say child care issues have caused them to arrive to work late, leave early, or to miss work entirely, according to the poll.
"Employers need mom and dad to show up to work, and mom and dad need to show up to work in order to support their families," said Amber Mooney, director of workforce development at The Business Council of New York State.
School readiness is an economic issue because it affects workers and their children—future workers.
Like United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, The Business Council is also lending a representative as one of three co-chairs of Raising New York: President and Chief Executive Officer Heather C. Briccetti, Esq. The coalition is staffed by The Education Trust—New York.
Speaking on behalf of The Business Council, Mooney said this coalition is different because it aims to look holistically at the systems that affect infants and toddlers across New York State. She also said New York is behind when it comes to addressing the multifaceted costs associated with inadequate early childhood development.
"States like Louisiana, Georgia [and] Alabama have been having the early childhood and the child care conversation for several years now. And for a state like New York, who considers itself very progressive, we're actually a little behind some of our less progressive counterparts."

Exclusive: White House And Ivanka Trump Propose New Spending On Child Care
By Tamara Keith • Mar 11, 2019

RIAs are looking to grow as their economic confidence hits a 5-year high, according to TD Ameritrade.
RIAs are feeling good and looking to grow, according to a report released at the end of January by TD Ameritrade. The Advisor Index Study found advisors are more optimistic about the economy than they have been in the past five years.
Nearly half of advisors see the market leveling out and ending 2014 with little change, but 38% think stocks will continue to rise. More than 40% think bond prices will start to fall.
Consequently, advisors are moving their clients out of fixed income and into equities. Equities accounted for 54% of client portfolios, up from 48% a year ago. Bond allocations fell from 27% of portfolios to 23%.
Three-quarters of RIAs expect to increase their assets under management at least as fast as they did last year, when AUM increased 20%. More than 30% think AUM will grow even faster.
Advisors are depending on client referrals and investment in technology to grow their business. Two-thirds of respondents are spending more on technology, with most considering upgrades in systems for performance reporting, portfolio accounting, customer relationship management, document management and financial planning. Although 58% of respondents expect no changes to their current marketing budget, advisors are focusing on increasing referrals from clients and centers of influence.
Advisors recognize that growth will come from attracting the next generation of investors. As such, about 60% say they'd consider offering Web-based services to draw in younger investors.
Most RIAs agree that the biggest challenge to their business is regulatory change. More than 70% of RIAs said changing regulations would be their biggest competitive challenge, easily overtaking do-it-yourself investing and fee-based management services from broker-dealers, which were cited by about a third of advisors as big competitive challenges.
"The biggest hurdles to advisor growth won't go away overnight," Nally said. "It will require persistent effort over time and a long-term view to successfully work through increased compliance requirements, changing rules and a graying client base." .

Launch of 'The Lost Revolution' - audio
September 10th saw the launch in Dublin of a new history of the Offical IRA and the Workers Party called 'The Lost Revolution' by Brian Hanley and Scott Miller. Over 250 people including many ex and current members of the Workers Party as well as members of just about every other left and republican group crammed into the hall for the launch. This is an audio recording of the introduction to the book given by Diarmaid Ferriter followed by each of the authors speaking about the book.
Lost Revolution - History of the Workers Party - launch in Dublin by Andrew Flood on Mixcloud
The notes below are a brief summary of some of the areas talked about by the speakers.
*Diarmaid Ferriter, Chair of Modern History UCD
Terrific atmosphere in here, a testament to the commitment people have had to change Ireland.
*We are living in difficult times.
The authors have managed to untangle the web of the Official IRA and Workers Party from late 60's on
*10 years after the border campaign Mick Ryan after a national tour of the IRA said 'there is no movement', Cathal Goulding replied "there is a fucking movement", the authors suggest these sort of frank exchanges were needed to rejuvenate movement.
*The book transmits the sense of being part of a worldwide movement in 1968, on the verge of profound change.
*Book is a reminder of the lost opportunities of those years. A tremendous sadness in the book about the violence and feuds of 1970's.
*It covers the debate about waging a 'clean war', was this ever a possibility or was it just an excuse.
*The Aldershot bombing and 'mistakes'.
*The drowning out of the intellectual debates in the sound of gunfire.
*Much of what was said then now sounds absurd
the Provisional v Official feud of October 75 that left 11 dead and over 50 injured.
*Seamus Costello and the EU referendum.
*The emergence of SFWP after 1977 and the influence on the unions.
*The continuing activities of 'Group B'.
* Eoghan Harris and 'attempts to change the script'.
*The 1989 election and the 'breadth of fresh air'.
*Being on the verge of a new left alliance.
*The continuance of 'special activities'.
*Journalists doing their job.
*An attention to detail that never becomes overbearing.
Brian Hanley, author
It was humbling to be welcomed into the homes of people we had never met before who were willing to share documents and memories. I hope we have done justice to their story. There is a tendency to sneer at the Irish left as headbangers - I hope no one comes away from our book thinking these people were mad
Scott Miller, author
Thanked particular people in the audience whose lives are tied into the republican movement
Lost Revolution was written as a narrative, not a critique
Sean Garland lives under fear of extradition to USA on very dubious charges, he wants to live out his old age in peace in his own land.

Bruce Springsteen. Van Morrison. Talking about my favourite musicians is easy. When it comes to films, especially in this day and age, it's harder. Because the writer's voices get diluted, the directors visions get fragmented into the wishes of twenty people. Finding singular voices is hard. But in an industry of compromised auteurs and pay-cheque hacks, Edward Burns stands strong. I LOVE his movies. They're not for everybody, in fact they're hardly seen by anybody -- but he has his niche. We are in an era where you can build a career around your niche.
This film is about that precise moment in your life when you have to make a decision --- follow your dreams, or compromise. On the one hand, Johnny (Matt Bush) can continue his job as a late night sports show presenter on the radio, or on the other hand he can go to New York and take the job with his fiancee's father. The job is depressing, but he'd earn $50,000 and keep his wife-to-be happy. And Claire (Anna Wood) terrifies me, because she's the girl I fear I'll end up with. The one who would say "Take the job at the cardboard factory, I only want you to do it because I love you!". Aghhh; it scares the hell out of me. That's why I'm so useless at relationships, cause I'm terrified they'll erode my creativity, make me turn into something else.
Turning into something else is the easy route, the path of least resistance. That's why the film rings so true. The hardest thing in the world for Johnny is to stand up and say "I'm a radio DJ! I earn no money but THIS IS MY DREAM!". He can't do it. Instead; the whole film is about him faltering under the pressure of people who think his dream should be something else; they think it should be the cardboard job and a huge pay-cheque.
Uncle Terry (Edward Burns) is flawed, he's not perfect. But he's a guy who can see his nephew Johnny is having the soul ripped out of him. Edward Burns is a great actor; especially when he's in his own films; every friggin' moment rings true. That's the thing with all the characters in this movie. I feel like I know them, I want to hang out with them, maybe I even want to be them. That's what a great movie is -- when you look up at the screen and think yes, that is me. That's fucking me! There I am! That's my journey, that's my struggle!
It's about the actors. That's not always true in Hollywood, because often the concept is king. But in 'Nice Guy Johnny', it's the actors domain. Whenever I see Matt Bush and Kerry Bishé on screen, I feel like I know them. That's a weird thing to say, because I've only seen Kerry in three movies (the others being 'Red State', and another Ed Burns film, 'Newlyweds'). In 'Newlyweds', she's a messed up bitch; has all sorts of issues. In 'Nice Guy Johnny', she's loveable, she's intriguing. But not in a boring way like most movies; but in a complicated way. The same thing with Matt's character --- sure, he's a nice guy to a fault, but you get to see how complicated that is!
My point is that Edward Burns, Matt Bush, Kerry Bishé, they're real actors. They can nail a character, yet you also get a sense of their humanity - who they really are. That's what you get when you see an Edward Burns movie. They're down to earth, they're honest, they're New York. These films will never take over the mainstream, because that's not where the audience is at anymore. But there is an audience for it; a real fan base, and they're hooked.

Now I'm itching to go find this movie to watch. I'm not sure I've seen ANY of Mr. Burns movies, but I'll be sure to look out for him now - thanks!
Kollt 21 April 2012 at 08:19
Kerry Bishé so beautiful i have to see this movie.
Alex Withrow 24 April 2012 at 12:46
I've seen every one of Edward Burns' films, I just love his work to death. As a budding filmmaker, his films are an inspiration. While they may not be the kind of movies that garner awards attention, it's impossible for me to deny that the circumstances surrounding the making of his most recent film, Newlyweds, didn't have an enormous influence on me.
Anyhow, sorry, I'm just a big big fan, and I LOVE when other bloggers bring attention to him. Nice Guy Johnny is a film I should in no way like. It just isn't my cup of tea. Yet I am undeniably drawn to it. Sure, it has its faults, but it, like most of Burns' films, just makes me feel good.
You're right: these films focus on the actors, to the point that they will never be mainstream. But you're also right, Burns' fanbase is dedicated and hooked.
NICOLE 24 April 2012 at 13:49
I became familiar with Ed Burns during the release of his latest movie, Newlyweds, but can't say that I've seen his previous directing work. I've only watched movies that he appeared in as an actor such as Saving Private Ryan.
His movie "Groomsmen" was the only flick that I considered watching but after reading your review on "Nice Guy Johnny," I think I may plan on renting more than one Burns flick. I'm not sure if I'll ever watch "Newlyweds" though for any reason other than see the results of a crowdsourced and crowdfunded film that he put together with the help of his fans, who also had a hand in the casting process.
I watched an interview with Ed Burns on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show on NBC and found it rather cool that he was able to successfully release a film digitally on iTunes rather than going the theatrical route. I mean, the whole thought of a film sorta 'Coming soon to an iTunes store near you!' is a lot different than the way studios release more mainstream films. Going a different route worked for Burns, so that's great! If anything, it might just get me to use iTunes more often, lol.

January 22, 2023 Sabooski Godwin 0 Comments American, British
Often at times, we hear that this word, phrase, clause or sentence is written or pronounced in the British English or American English.
But why this? What could be the difference between both languages?
In this article, we are going to answer all that. So keep reading and enjoy.
What is the British English?
British English refers to the English language as it is used in the United Kingdom. It includes all English dialects spoken in the UK. British English is influenced by the history and culture of the UK and has some vocabulary, grammar, and spelling differences from other varieties of English, such as American English. Some examples of these differences include the use of "colour" instead of "color," "theatre" instead of "theater," and "centre" instead of "center." British English also has a number of regional dialects and accents that vary from one part of the UK to another.
What is the American English?
American English is the form of the English language used in the United States. It includes all English dialects spoken in the United States and is influenced by the history and culture of the country. American English has some vocabulary,
grammar, and spelling differences from other varieties of English, such as British English. Some examples of these differences include the use of "color" instead of "colour," "theater" instead of "theatre," and "center" instead of "centre. "American English also has a number of regional dialects and accents that vary from one part of the country to another.
History Of The British English
The English language has a long and complex history, and the form of English spoken in the United Kingdom has evolved over time.
The English language has its roots in the Germanic languages of the Anglo-Saxons, who arrived in Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries. The language they spoke, Old English, was heavily influenced by the languages of the tribes they encountered, such as the Celtic languages and Latin.
Over the centuries, the English language continued to evolve and change. It was heavily influenced by the Norman Conquest in 1066, when the Normans, who spoke a variant of French, invaded and conquered England. As a result, many French words and phrases were adopted into English, and the language became known as Middle English.
During the Renaissance, the English language was further influenced by the classical languages of Latin and Greek, and many new words were borrowed from these languages. The modern form of English, known as Modern English, began to emerge in the 16th and 17th centuries.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the British Empire spread the use of the English language around the world, and it became the dominant language of international communication. Today, English is spoken as a first or second language by millions of people around the globe.
History Of The American English
The English language has a long and complex history, and the form of English spoken in the United States has evolved over time.
The English language was brought to the North American continent by British colonists in the 17th and 18th centuries. As the colonies developed and grew, the English language began to evolve in response to the unique experiences and Influences of the people living in the New World.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the United States emerged as a major world power, and the American form of the English language became more influential on the global stage. Today, American English is spoken as a first or second language by millions of people around the world. Despite its widespread use, American English continues to evolve and change, influenced by various cultural, social, and technological factors.
Notable Similarities Between Both Languages
British English and American English are both forms of the English language and have a number of similarities. Some of the notable similarities between the two languages include:
1. Vocabulary: Both British English and American English share a large common vocabulary, with only a small number of words that are specific to one form of the language or the other.
2. Grammar: The grammar of British English and American English is largely the same, with only a few minor differences in the way certain words and structures are used.
3. Pronunciation: While there are some differences in the way certain words are pronounced in British English and American English, the two forms of the language are generally quite similar in terms of pronunciation.
4. Spelling: Both British English and American English use the same basic spelling rules, although there are some differences distinct from one another.
In conclusion, British English and American English are both forms of the English language that have evolved over time and have been influenced by the histories and cultures of the United Kingdom and the United States. While the two forms of the language are similar and are largely mutually intelligible, they do have some differences in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and spelling. Despite these differences, both forms of English are widely spoken and used around the world.
