Long Description | Since he made the jump from professional wrestling superstar to Hollywood action hero, Dwayne Johnson has shown an uncertain talent that hasn't always complemented his outsize physique. But in Snitch his massive build is beside the point and he's fully in charge, leading a terrific ensemble cast through an unexpectedly nuanced movie that's most surprising for what it's not. Though there's plenty of vivid action, this is no superhero story and Johnson is no superman. As John Matthews, a successful businessman and flawed family man, he shows a humble range of emotional depth and non-athletic grace in a story founded on genuine drama and a collaborative creative effort. Matthews runs a prosperous construction company that's lately been struggling under a bad economy. He's somewhat estranged from a son (Rafi Gavron) by his first marriage until a big mistake pits the good-kid teenager against harsh federal drug sentencing mandates. Rather than fate the boy to 10 years of hard prison time, the frantic Matthews does everything he can to find a way of making himself an informant. If he can catch a big-fish drug dealer, the Drug Enforcement Administration and US Attorney will free his son from a destiny he doesn't deserve in the first place. The title resonates through multiple characters, but especially Matthews as he surreptitiously pressures Daniel ( The Walking Dead 's Jon Bernthal, giving it his all), an ex-con employee, to get him an introduction into the Mexican drug cartel pipeline. It's a palpably dangerous prospect all around and the movie is genuinely effective in telescoping the deadly menace of the drug underworld. Matthews realizes he has underestimated the risk, especially after Daniel hooks him up with the serious gangsterism of Malik (Michael Kenneth Williams, channeling the same chilling vibe he gave as Omar on The Wire ). His enormous muscles quivering in real fright, Matthews is drawn in way over the terms of the deal he made with the fe |

Well heck! We had another upgrade of hardware today and the process simply took far longer than expected. Sorry!
Yes, we added some more new hardware. To insure that nothing got lost we had to perform a full database backup.
This backup required copying over 70gig of data from one machine to another and this required a complete database shutdown.
Now this step took longer than expected but that wasn't all, installing the new hardware took longer than expected.
The good news? We now have new servers for both the web server and the database server PLUS backup equipment for both servers. The old equipment has been recycled into massive file servers and backup servers so we haven't wasted anything.
The hope is that all these upgrades over the past couple weeks will improve over all system performance and reliability. With all the traffic we have been seeing lately, the old database server and web server have been getting pushed to their limits. We now have some breathing room again.
Thanks for your patients.
