I'm surprised, nobody has exploded with anger and exclaimed it with a "We don't have Randy anymore, get over it", or even a "Why can't you just let it go"....its like we can't even talk about him anymore on this site.......I don't know about you's guys, but I still like Moss, and I still feel he's one of the best, if not "the best" WR out there right now. I'm still a Moss fan, and I won't boo the Raiders cuz I could understand why they'd want him. I'm still a Moss fan, and if you wanna explode about it, go ahead, cuz I don't see how u could not be a Moss fan after all the man has done for the Vikings on the field.....plus I think some of the things he did off the field were blown outta proportion by the media. The guy hates the media (which I would too, have u guys heard some of the obvious questions they ask ppl, gimme a break!) and therefore the media portrays him as a "bad guy". Randy Moss will be the next Barry Bonds, except a football version minus the roids.....he will get close to breaking the records and the media will drive him insane...portray him as a bad guy and taint his records until 20 yrs after he retires.....Favre on the other hand, will have all of his accomplishments blown up, and they'll make him look like the greatest QB of all time.....I dislike the media biases!!!!!
Randy Moss is the best WR in the NFL today, hands down. No argument
The only players even close are Harrison and Owens, and he's clearly better than both of them.
It was disappointing to see him go, and it will be weird not seeing him in a Vikings jersey this year, but I hope he succeeds with Oakland. I'm going to be watching the Raiders this year as closely as any team other than the Vikings, simply to see how he does. But, after seeing what we've done this offseason thru the draft and FA, I'm excited to see what we're capable of this year. Especially with the Pack falling apart, the QB controversy that is sure to arise in Detroit, and the Bears being the Bears.
It would be kind of cool to see a Vikings/Raiders superbowl, and have us beat the Raiders. Then Moss would see what he missed out on.542cbf305f333b0554e8ffa937f852d6

Careful....this is the post where only Del Rio an I are allowed to bash each other.....LOL....you have a nice day to sir.
Re: randy moss in miami?
Well, bottom line is he is rich as hell and can afford to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Check out the finals cause he will be there to.
He has earned that right in my book!

update a page through query
24 January 2010 at 10:31am
Hello Everybody,
I am building a website with silverstripe and i need some directives. A page of my website should be daily update with new information (content). For this i build a table in my Mysql database. In this Table there are 2 columns: data and the validdate.
is it possible in silverstripe to automatically update the page content at the specified date through Query on my database? How?
Thank you in advance

There is an embargo/expiry module that allows for time based publishing of content, but I've heard rumours its being discontinued and I haven't actually be able to get it to work.
But if the publishing date already exists as a date field on your data object its just a matter of wrapping the relevant part of your template with a <% if Validate.InPast %> <% end_if %> (assuming the Validate column is your Date field ). http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=date

thanks, i tried to download the module embargo, it seems that the link is down. However i dont know if this module is the quite solution of my problem, because i dont want that the page expires. Only the content of page will be update daily. in others words, when a user open the page, the valid information will be displayed, this information should come from a query on the existing database.
Thank you for all answers.

Maria Traill's back pain is so severe, walking is a chore. "Ballroom dancing is a huge part of my life. I've no longer been able to do it."
Traill has lumbar spinal stenosis. Like many people with the condition, she's been getting epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and relieve the pain. "They injected me three times and all three times it lasted less than a week before the pain started coming back."
A new study questions the benefit of steroid injections for the spinal disorder. Researchers found after six weeks, injections that combine both epidural steroids and the anesthetic lodicaine offer the same relief as lidocaine alone. "This study shows that the steroids is not the reason why patients are getting this significant relief. It could be just be the lidocaine itself," says Dr. Nick Shamie, UCLA Spine Center.
Spinal stenosis effects people as they age. The spinal canal narrows and compress the nerves. "With the Baby Boomers getting older, we're going to see this problem more and more commonly."
Traill, who is 51, says she's had enough with the injections and will get surgery with the hopes of getting her life back.
Some doctors suggest the injections offer relief by simply irrigating the area around the nerves, effectively washing away whatever is causing the inflammation.

The brand offers a continuum of care (beyond basic companionship) which places it at the forefront of the industry and gives a strategic advantage in the marketplace.
This business serves the rapidly growing $1.8 trillion healthcare industry. Seniors represent the largest, wealthiest, and fastest growing market segment in the U.S. As of 2012, there is over 40 million people over the age of 65. Today, over 1.4 million Americans are receiving some form of home care. By the age of 85, nearly 50% need some support with everyday activities. Changes in fertility, women's labor force participation, and increases in the divorce rate have reduced ability to personally take care of older family members.
The US Census Bureau shows that this is the fastest growing segment of the population today. In the year 2000, over 600 million people were over age 60. By the year 2025, there will be 1.2 billion in that age range and over 2 billion by 2050.

Episode - 1F11\\
First Aired - 2/3/1994
While on a boring field trip to the box factory, Bart makes a break for it to Channel 6 Studios, home of Bart's favorite show, ''Krusty the Clown'', and gets a job as Krusty's assistant -- then becomes an accidental star after screwing up during a live sketch and blurting, "I didn't do it!"
!!This episode contains examples of:
* AndThisIsFor: Nelson when he thought Bart was lying about being Krusty's assistant.
* AsHimself: Creator/ConanOBrien (the only ''Simpsons'' writer ever to come back and voice himself. Also, the only ''SaturdayNightLive'' writer to voice himself on ''TheSimpsons'')
* BigFancyHouse: Lisa has one in her imagine spot.
* CatchPhrase: This episode makes fun of the fact that people who become famous for blurting a catchphrase are only famous for a short time. Lisa even says that if she ever becomes famous, it'll be for something more substantial.
* CelebrityIsOverrated: Bart at first loves the fame and attention it gets him, but eventually gets sick of the fact that he's treated as a one-trick pony.
* ImagineSpot: Lisa has a rather disturbing imagine spot where she kills Bart with one of her trophies.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: Bart taking a cell phone call during class while working as Krusty's assistant. Back then, the joke was that only important people had cell phones (and that cell phones in the 1990s were big and unwieldy). These days, with smaller cell phones and kids as young as ten having them (due to their parents trying to make sure where they are at all times or the kids themselves wanting to be hip and cool), the joke isn't all that funny or revolutionary, and comes off as odd that a ten-year-old would have such a big cell phone.
* YouGetMeCoffee: This is what Bart's career amounted to at first, nearly driving him to quit. Then he has to fill in for Sideshow Mel and the rest is history.
-->'''Krusty:''' This is a dream factory, the birthplace of magic -- an enchantment! Now I need you to go clean out my toilet.

defoliant, a chemical dust or spray applied to plants to cause their leaves to drop off prematurely. Defoliants sometimes are applied to crop plants such as cotton in order to facilitate harvesting. They are also used in warfare to eliminate enemy food crops and potential areas of concealment by enemy forces. Defoliants were employed for these purposes by South Vietnamese and U.S. forces in the Vietnam War; among the more controversial of these substances was the chemical compound known as Agent Orange.

Now known as Lantern Tap House, bar has changed hands and purchased the defunct Perry Street Cafe next door and now has at least triple the capacity it once had. They now have 8-10 taps, plus food. Some servers are knowledgeable about beer and some haven't a clue. Still a cool neighborhood hangout with all taps craft beers that are rotated frequently>
Tiny, tiny, tiny bar in the Perry Street neighborhood, which is an odd, funky, village-like area plunked into the midst of Spokane's south hill. The Lantern has 135 square feet of area for it's customers to congregate in. The owner is attempting to get approval for more seating outside along the sidewalk which, according to him, will double capacity. Even then, this place will fill up quickly during peak hours.
There are five seats at the bar, and another eight or so at four small tables that seat no more than two. There's lots of wood and local art that is tastefully unobtrusive. On the left side of the bar is a chalkboard where draft and bottled options are posted with their prices. Wines and various ports are also available. According to a sign, cheese plates are available as well, but were not on the day I was there. Music is from the owner's iPod, and is at a volume that does not inhibit conversation. There are no TVs.
There's a grand total of 4 taps, which doesn't sound like much, but they were good taps. From the light to dark, the choices were North Coast's Scrimshaw pilsener, New Belgium's Mothership Wit, Elysian's IPA and (drumroll, please) Stone Russian Imperial Stout. All were $4.25 per pint, except the Stone RIS, which was $5.50, though you could order a 12oz glass which would have been the same price as the others. Bottled choices, you ask? There's 23 of them, and , incredibly, there's no Bud, Miller, Coors or PBR. The closest you can get is Full Sail's Session Lager ($3), which the owner says more often than not is a successful substitute for the Big 3 macros. Regional micros like Deschutes beers and more exotic micros like Oskar Blues Gordon round out bottled and canned options, along with some common imports (Stella, Guinness) and less common ones (Westmalle Dubbel).
The owner - Jeff, I think his name is (incredibly, he has a degree in pathology from a school back east, I forget which one) - seems to get the idea that different beers need different glasses, and doesn't need to be told to get a glass for you if you order a bottled or canned beer. No frosted glasses, either, which is a godsend.
The Lantern Tavern is a charming hole-in-the-wall watering hole in a neighborhood that just might be feeling the very first growing pains of gentrification. There's talk of a neighborhood pizza joint soon being built down the street in the soo to be vacated 100-year old drug store. If that occurs, the Lantern is well-placed to become a post-meal beer destination. While I don't happen to be in the neighborhood that often, it's nice to know that there is a craft beer option when I'm there.

12. "The Hangover Part III"
Credit is due to the filmmakers behind "The Hangover Part III," at least, for not just rejigging the plot of the original into a different location, as was the case with the Bangkok-set 'Part II.' In fact, there's something, on paper, intriguingly bold about what they've done here: closing off the most successful comedy trilogy of modern times by making a film that barely qualifies as a comedy. While it might have been a welcome change of pace for director Todd Phillips, writer Craig Mazin and the central stars of the franchise, however, "The Hangover Part III" was an unbearable experience for an audience. Departing from the "what happened?" conceit that made the original such a hoot, this becomes some kind of half-baked crime picture, as the Wolfpack (Bradley Cooper, fulfilling contractual obligations; Ed Helms, glad for the work; and Zach Galifianakis, descending into self-parody) are forced by a crime boss (John Goodman, barely conscious) into tracking down infuriating chaos engine Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong). It's the baffling decision to put Jeong—who wasn't even welcome in small doses in the first film—at the center of the movie that truly derails it, but it was barely on the tracks to begin with. The sense from everyone involved is that they just want to get this over with and move on with their lives. The film looks good, at least, with Phillips using the hefty budget to experiment with his craft, and there's a couple of striking set-pieces, which is at least rare for a comedy. But the plotting never feels like anything more than spinning its wheels, the emotional payoffs are never close to being earned, and, more even than in the earlier films, there's a really unpleasant and insidious sense of hatred of The Other that makes it especially sour, even for a Todd Phillips film. Honestly, we think we laughed more in "12 Years a Slave" than in this.
11. "After Earth"
M. Night Shyamalan's cosmic travesty is the kind of movie that is so god-awfully dull, so boring and affected and unreasonable, that it makes you long for the glory days of "The Happening," when people were getting run over by lawnmowers and Mark Wahlberg was moodily staring down the wind. Originally "After Earth" was going to be a simple drama of survival, until producer/star Will Smith got the bright idea to set it in outer space (hey, it's worked in the past) and cast his real life son Jaden as his on-screen spawn. These were just a few of the incredibly poor choices on display in "After Earth," along with Smith's decision to speak his dialogue in a weirdly wooden, pseudo-British accent and to set the movie on a post-humanity earth where everything has "survived to kill people" (but why? All the people are gone!). There's also a gooey monster that feeds on fear. Or something. God only knows. The fact that audiences and critics both rejected it hopefully led to some soul searching inside Smith … Which probably lasted about fifteen seconds, especially considering another "Bad Boys" is in the works.
10. "I Give It a Year"
The most loathsome romantic comedy in recent years, everything about writer/director Dan Mazer's filmmaking debut is punchable. Sadly, this is a man who wrote and directed several episodes of the extremely brilliant "Da Ali G Show," not to mention co-writing "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" and "Brüno." Where's the subversion and where did he lose his way? Well, the subversion is fully evinced in "I Give It a Year" which purports to be a kind of clever reverse, anti-romantic comedy, but attempting to turn insipid rom-com cliches on their head, the movie fails badly at every turn. It chronicles the dissolution of an unlikely, rushed, opposites-attract marriage to crude and banal effect in which Josh (Rafe Spall) is pensive and slow and Nat (Rose Byrne) is a tightly-wound go-getter. These two characters have no business being together, but for the sake of the movie, why not, right? With their one year anniversary approaching Josh doesn't see that his best friend and ex-girlfriend, Chloe (Anna Faris) was really The One all along while Nat's handsome slickster American client Guy (Simon Baker) is just dying to get her in the sack. Special mention must be made for the odious supporting character appearance of Stephen Merchant playing the one-note obnoxious, clueless friend shtick that he loves so much. It all culminates with a epic-fail, trying-to-be-cheeky scene in the rain where the aforementioned couple disavow their love and promise to leave one another immediately. Meet cute was never this detestable.
9. "Kick-Ass 2"
Sure, Matthew Vaughn's original "Kick-Ass" was ugly, violent and abhorrent but it was also kind of fun. Jeff Wadlow's sequel, "Kick-Ass 2," which was amazingly developed despite the original film being something of a box office disappointment, replaces rudeness with outright hatred, expanding its fuck-you attitude to include all minorities (though mostly Chinese) and women (there's even a rape joke. Haha! Rape!) Gone too is the first movie's sense of stylized joy, replaced by utter cheapness that infects everything from the production design to the poorly choreographed action set pieces, which suffer from an abundance of cruddy green screen work and little in the way of compelling staging. Instead of having comic-book-panel pep, the violence here is just unpleasant, and it's a shame they had to drag Jim Carrey into this mess. The actor might have cited recent events like Sandy Hook as his reason for staying off the film's publicity tour, but it's more likely that he saw an early cut of the movie, took stock of how repugnant it was, and chose to distance himself as much as possible. If we had anything to do with this four-color mess, we'd have stayed far, far away too. This is what happens when you try to will a franchise into existence instead of letting it bloom organically.
Donder | April 12, 2014 11:16 AM
It would seem to me that in Thor 2 if they had used Sam. l. Jackson and the "shield agency" as the secondary point of interest instead of Jane and a bunch of children playing with some hole in the ground? How about having Fury investigating some anomalies that taking place in the world and dealing with some of the effects of the anomalies? President being transported to another dimension and things like that. It seems like they got "lazy" in coming up with a second plot.
Badger | April 9, 2014 11:21 AM
I agree with most of the list to some extent.
And I'm sorry I thought the plotline for Now You See Me was fantastic, that's your vendetta right there cause everyone else I've asked seems to have enjoyed it. Also the fact that you considered Saving Mr. Banks which was freaking beautiful one of the best films in a long time. I'll end on the note that Runner, Runner should've been #1 not on the dishonourable mention cause that movie was absolute tripe, I couldn't watch it till the end.
Unknown Person | April 4, 2014 6:35 AM
I did not agree with this list at all but we are all entitled to our own opinions... Even if your opinion is stupid!!!
Eric | March 1, 2014 12:32 PM
You missed "Enough Said" almost 2 hours of immature,whiny miserable women wondering why they are so unlikable.
Carlo Trevisan | January 5, 2014 6:07 PM
Your top 20 pretty sucks.
Is really personally, and have nothing to to with reality.
First of all there are three movies that aren't nothing special, but not worst of the year:
City of bones, Jack the giants slayer, After Earth.
But this is nothing, the crap you've done is after.
Now you see me is a very good movie, from every point of view.
Diana isn't that bad. Could be better, of course, but not to put in 20 worst movies of the year.
There are plenty of craps idiot unneccessary movie (especially horrors, where you can make a 40 worst movie then the entire list you made here).
And the main misstake is The host. That's a great movie. Put this movie in this ranking means that you don't really understand nothing about cinema.
Next time you should write "20 movies we didn't like" but not "the worst 20 movie" cause you write a totally personally vision of cinema that clashes with what is really.
Lyndsay | January 3, 2014 8:32 AM
AIt seems to me that the movies this writer considers "good" are only the ones filled with language, gore and violence and the movies considered "bad" are the ones that are clean and fun for the whole family. "Now You See Me" was a great film, and "Grown Ups 2" wasn't bad. Movies such as that piece of crap "Pain & Gain" deserve to be on this list, and whoever wrote this (not that I'm taking the time to look) is a total moron.
FP | January 2, 2014 3:22 PM
As always, Playlist gets it right. A comprehensive list of plainly bad films, not disappointing ones. But I am particularly aggrieved that buried in the middle is PARKLAND. I can grant that it is mildly disappointing because one senses it could be better across the board, but Paul Giamatti's performance as Zapruder was perfect, as was Billy Bob Thorton's. I also loved Dale's performance, and disagree on your assessment of Jacki Weaver - she's better in this than in ANIMAL KINGDOM and SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. I'd watch a film about her character alone. When you leave off films like WWZ, IDENTITY THIEF, ALL IS BRIGHT, GATSBY, SALINGER, etc., putting a film like PARKLAND on the spit seems more personal than professional.
taylor | January 1, 2014 6:54 PM
you know not every movie has to have a crazy twisting plotline or tons of action to be good. this review is f""king horrible and seems like you think you can make movies better...grown ups 2 was a funny family movie, kick ass 2 was wonderful and I think the writer of this article is a f""king moron who should make his own movie.
John | December 28, 2013 8:34 PM
To me, it was just an unremarkable year at the movies. Whether high budget or low budget, there seemed to be little effort to make decent films on the part of this year's filmmakers.
I personally loathed the deplorable "Blue Jasmine," Woody Allen's hate letter to the world's movie-going audience. Vile and unpleasant in every respect, it engenders the oh-so-very-un-charitable notion that you can't wait to get Allen off this planet. He obviously has no love at all for life. So, why continue living, Woody?
White Owl | December 28, 2013 3:21 PM
Spring Breakers belongs at #1. That is the worst trash I have ever sat through, on par with shit like The Room
That_Coop_Guy | December 27, 2013 2:38 PM
How did you guys forget the overrated, overhyped crapfest that is World War Z? It's literally one of the three movies this year (including Elysium and 47 Ronin), that I regretted spending money on. Hell, I wanted to leave halfway through WWZ, but I couldn't because I was with a friend and he drove. Brad Pitt does nothing but "GET TO DE CHOPPA!" the entire movie, running through expensive set piece after expensive set piece from digital zombies. There was no horror, danger, or suspense because we all knew Brad and his family would be fine, completely negating it being a horror movie in the first place. Plus - NO BLOOD! What kind of zombie movie has absolutely no blood in it?? That's like having a cheeseburger without a beef patty!
Joe Coffee | December 24, 2013 2:32 AM
"Big screen bukkake...." This was a hoot. Do I have to wait a whole year to laugh this hard again?
Ezio Auditore da Firenze | December 22, 2013 2:47 PM
So you're telling me that "30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is NOT in the worst 20 movies of 2013.
felipe | December 20, 2013 4:28 AM
all these movies suck. this is not cinema.
della | December 20, 2013 4:03 AM
i'm one the unlucky one that watched cbgb and confirms its a pile of crap. who thought this would be a good idea, poor rupert grint. better luck next time kiddo.
ForMe | December 19, 2013 8:56 PM
Is it to much to ask to have the whole article on one page. That said, I agree with the list except for Gangster Squad, it wasn't a masterpiece,but I liked it.
Demond | December 19, 2013 7:02 PM
Why isn't "We're The Millers" ANYWHERE on This List?!!
RPG | December 17, 2013 6:09 PM
Great article, but I'm legit surprised that GI Joe: Retaliation was left out. Now THAT was godawful, not to mention the second shitty sequel that Willis starred in this year.
I admit I'm crying a little inside at Saoirse Ronan making this list twice, though. Girl needs to choose better projects.
Helgi | December 15, 2013 7:29 PM
Final words: I love Peter O´Toole in all his glory, his younger days as old.
Helgi | December 15, 2013 6:58 PM
The list you guys left is quite a number, but 1 q about n1: was it about budget?
Ben | December 15, 2013 11:35 AM
Where's "The Counselor"?
KXB | December 15, 2013 11:14 AM
Spike Lee sucks as a director at this point, and no one cares... #ohitstrue
Miles | December 14, 2013 5:57 PM
How is Only God Forgives not on this list? Absolute
worst movie of the year.
Kal | December 14, 2013 10:32 AM
Totally agree on die hard- I love the die hard films and this was utterly disgusting
I don't think I've hated a film as much since batman and robin and highlander 2
Kick ass 2 was also utterly terrible
I don't understand anyone saying the wolverine was a bad film it was a great serious 70 s style action film
Sebastian | December 14, 2013 7:38 AM
Movie 43, Pain & Gain and Spring Breakers were some of the BEST movies of 2013! That's why their not on here! The critics who hated Movie 43 are puritanical In fact almost any edgy or subversive comedy without a warm and fuzzy moralistic are hated by American critics!
parkerguy | December 13, 2013 11:49 PM
I agree with most of the choices on this list, though I don't know why Burt Wonderstone and Movie 43 get a pass. The only one I disagree with was Parkland. I think you're being way too hard on it. Yes, not a great movie, but I thought the productions values were fine and it was a fitting reminder of the events of that tragic day. Definitely worth a video download.
MARK | December 13, 2013 7:19 PM
Gatsby. Gravity. Pain & Gain.
Surprised to see I Give It A Year up there.
Manuel | December 13, 2013 1:10 PM
I can't believe "movie 43" wasn't on this list
"Kiss Ass 2" was a fun movie loyal to the comics
Sailor | December 13, 2013 4:29 AM
If you guys had balls you would have put Thor 2/ Iron Man 3/ Hunger Games 2/ et al on this list...that kind of corporate garbage is way more awful than most of the films on this list...
Mark David | December 13, 2013 3:57 AM
I can't believe The Bling Ring isn't on this list!
Jon | December 12, 2013 11:24 PM
Stoker was absolutely atrocious. Was there a worse sxene this year than Mia Wasikowska moving like a bird? Wolverine was abysmal too as was the second half of Man of Steel. I would also include Star Trek Into Darkness.
potion lords | December 12, 2013 11:15 PM
the evil dead remake was the best horror film since martyrs
cirkusfolk | December 12, 2013 6:26 PM
I try to avoid watching movies I think will be bad, so it makes sense that I've only seen two of the films on this list (Oldboy and Hangover III). And even more fitting is that I gave both of them my lowest score and they, along with Bullet to the Head, are the worst three movies I've seen all year. I'll go ahead and throw Only God Forgives on there too though.
Charles | December 12, 2013 6:12 PM
Come on, "I Give it a Year" wasn't that bad. It had funny moments. "Black Rock" was perfectly enjoyable. "Now You See Me" was nonsense, but it wasn't Top-10 bad.
Robert H. | December 12, 2013 5:32 PM
I acknowledge that it's possible the people who made the list might not have seen it, but does anyone think that Pain & Gain should have been included?
AJ | December 12, 2013 4:41 PM
I didn't see any of these. Talk about luck. Good luck.
TC Kirkham | December 12, 2013 4:27 PM
Completely disagree about "Now You See Me", which was the true definition of a crowd-pleasing popcorn blockbuster; sure it required complete suspension of disbelief, and the ending was a WTF, but still, lots of fun. Also disagree with the commenter who had "All Is Lost" on his list (OMG do I disagree with that person...), and the one who had "The Bling Ring", which was also enjoyable. Personally, I would name "C.O.G." the worst film of the year, and have in several places...what a load of crap for someone as terrific as Jonathan Groff to waste his time on....completely and utterly unfunny, repellent characters, completely phony in tone and feel, and 88 minutes of my life I will NEVER get back...and if you don't believe me, ask the other 150 or so people I saw it with...I don't think ANYONE liked it, judging from the large amount of grumbling coming from everyone leaving the festival I saw it at...
Andrew | December 12, 2013 4:12 PM
Machete Kills is worse than all of these films combined, and this is coming from someone who really enjoyed the first one.
joss | December 12, 2013 3:49 PM
The absence of Movie 43 is just staggering. Care to explain why one of the most despised movies of recent years wasn't even mentioned?
Mark | December 12, 2013 3:38 PM
Where's Star Trek Into Darkness?
Q_Q | December 12, 2013 2:17 PM
I've got a better list: The Wolverine, Paranoia, Syrup, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Carrie, 2 Guns, Lovelace, Texas Chainsaw, Olympus has Fallen, Pain and Gain, Haunter, Getaway, All is Lost, Dark Skies, Admission, Movie 43, The Great Gatsby, Hell Baby, Rapture-Palooza, As Cool as Me, Crush, The English Teacher.
Jacques DeMolay | December 12, 2013 1:24 PM
Hey, to whoever wrote the Dishonorable Mentions section at the end -- How does a film that The Playlist gave a B- review, and called "A Back-To-The-Wilds Slasher With Brains & Bonding To Go With The Blood" come anywhere NEAR a Worst-Of list? I'm talking about Black Rock, of course. The last line of your review of this film says " if you like your scares smart, and like them to happen to people you actually care about, then Aselton's island of friendship and fury is a nice place to visit". So, sure, this doesn't seem like best-of-year material, but it sure as hell doesn't sound like worst-of material either.
So, really, I'm just wondering how a movie can get a B- score and a largely positive review and STILL wind up dishonorably mentioned at the end of the year. WTF?

good list, but I would've replace Kick-Ass 2 by Upside Down. People in the comment trend don't make any sense. Like including All is Lost or Upstream Color as plain old bad. LOLZ

I'm a bit surprised that ONLY GOD FORGIVES isn't on here. It was a pretty repulsive exorcism of the director's demons. It was critically reviled, but maybe it was left off of this list because it mostly flew under the radar? It was reviewed well on the Playlist, but I'm not sure that saves it from scorn.

You Americans are so lucky as you don't seem to have been subjected to Keith Lemon : The Movie. If you watch it have on of the 'zappers' from Men In Black nearby to quickly erase it from your mind......

I enjoyed Now You See Me. Gangster Squad and Hangover pt3 were both lame films but still not the worst of the year. Here are my top 10 that were truely pathetic and i actually felt bad after watching them: Movie 43, Red 2, The Family, The Zero Theorem, Olympuss has fallen, Kick Ass 2, the Bling Ring, RIPD, Upstream Color, Hansel & Gretel. These flicks made all other shite films i saw this year like oscar contenders.

Chloe Sevigny, Rose Byrne, and Naomi Watts were among the big-screen stars who attended the event at the Odeon restaurant in NYC, while Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Zoe Kravitz, and Lauren Hutton were among the models. From the art world, both Jeff Koons and Julian Schnabel were on hand. The French fashion house dressed several of its guests, including Naomi, who brought her mother as her date for the evening out. Chanel has had a major presence at this year's festival, with Karl Lagerfeld premiering a series of Magnum ice cream ads starring one of his many muses, Rachel Bilson, last week. We spoke with the actress on the red carpet at the big debut. The trendsetter chatted with us about her upcoming TV series, Hart of Dixie, and also admitted to "geeking out" after Karl gifted her with one of his Chanel notepads during their short-film shoot.

fish tank care and feeding
January 11, 2013
My daughter (she's 3, so, really, her parents) received a 10 gallon fish tank for Christmas. I know nothing about fish.
It is currently set up with gravel and plastic plants, a filter (that sits on the outside and actually filters the water out of the tank I guess?) and a heater. We have 8 fish - 4 neons, two gold crescent platy and two red minor serpae. Evidently the woman at the fish store said in a month we should also get something that eats algae. We have fish food. We have a net. We had some stuff that makes the water fish friendly, but only a sample size.
the fish have been alive for 3 hours so far.
What should I know? what do we need to do, aside from feeding the fish twice a day? How do we clean the tank? Add water?Treat the water? Do we clean the gravel? Seriously - there were no instructions. I will try to get to the fish store and pick the brain of the lady there but it might be a while, and googling brings up tons and tons of sites but I can't sort the wheat from the chaff.

Experience: parents didn't think I could win goldfish at the fair; I magically improved my coordination and ended up with three surprise fish. They lasted for three years and with some guppy friends!
1) Cleaning the tank: getting a fish that eats algae will help, as will swapping out the filters on the regular. You should get a thing like
(talk to your local pet store about the best options) to suck the grosser stuff out of the rocks. This will also require a water change of the tank; I think I used to take my goldfish out in a separate bowl so they wouldn't get caught or damaged during the cleaning. It will require one or two buckets that should be pretty much reserved for fish water. We also went through a lot of large snails which were really fun but substantially less hardy than the fish.
2) Treat the water: there are drops for this; what you use might depend on your local water supply. I lived in DC, so my fish got a blend of very dechlorinated tap water and spring water. (They were pretty spoiled goldfish.) You don't remove or change all of the water (maybe two gallons at a time) at once, because the fish need to be acclimated to it.
Vaguely useful things: a little net, maybe a little scoop (for water transfers) and a smaller tank (like 2 gallons.) These are useful if you need to pick up and move or sequester the fish for any reason, like cleaning or disease.
Fin and tail rot and other little diseases might happen.
There are medicines that go in the water. (This will again vary based on your set up and species, but mine never really suffered through anything awful.) There are also extended release feeding capsules, which kept my tank alive for a couple of weeks. Don't introduce lots of things into the tank at once. Keep extra packs of the filters and heater bulbs around; maybe take a picture of the size/kind and store it on your phone so that you can easily get more.
It is pretty easy, really! Our pet store guy was really great, and even in the days before the internet it was pretty easy to get a handle on disease management and treatment. On the off chance you have some casualties, you may want to consider how you'll handle the Great Floating Fish question with your daughter. You may also want to photograph the fish to find similar replacements.

Small freshwater tanks with hardy fish (platys and neons are fairly sturdy) aren't too tricky. Don't panic. ;)
1. When the water gets low, top it off. You don't need the water treatment drops if you let it sit in bucket for 24 hours ahead of time.
2. You will want to swap out approx 1/2 the water periodically. The frequency varies depending on size of tank, type of fish, etc. I've typically done it with with a small tank every 3 mos. or so. Use a length of plastic tubing will create a siphon to help you suck the water out. The fish (if you don't accidentally suck them up) can just hang out the tank while you do this.
3. You'll want to scrape algae off the sides from time to time. One of those
magnetized scraper things
are pretty handy.
can be useful for both swapping out the water and vacuuming up the gunk on the gravel.
5. Plecos and/or mystery snails are good for cleaning.
Have fun! You'll figure out what works for you and your fish as you go. Yes, there will probably be fish casualties, but we've all been there.

Yay fish! Fish are pretty easy and low maintainance, BUT expect to see some of your fish die off in the first week (the neons in particular are usually pretty delicate). Usually if you keep them alive for a month, you're in it for the long run.
Feed them ONCE a day, and only as much as they will eat in 5ish mins. (If you always have a bunch of food on the gravel, you're feeding them too much) the more fish eat, the more they poop, the more work you need to do on the tank. If you feed them 2x a day, you need to be feeding them a VERY tiny amount (like under a pinch). I am too lazy to be that precise, and have even gone long weekends without feeding them (although I then feel guilty)
Every other week (or at the minimum once a month), scoop out about 1/3rd of the water (it may be surpisingly yellowish. I use an old tupperware because ew fish poop) before you replace it with fresh water, scrub down the sides of the tank with a regular sponge (I just dedicate a kitchen sponge as the 'tank sponge'). Refill with clean water from your tap. Pour it in gently so you don't completedly traumatize your fish/distrurb the gravel. When you change the water, also change the filter medium in the filter. It will look gross. I recommend bringing your garbage can over TO the tank, and avoiding the frantic dash with hands full of gross fish filter. I am also assuming you've got the Tetra Filter? (it's the most basic filter sold in stores), you can buy refills for it online, for way cheaper than at petco/other bigbox store. Additionally check out Fosters
(also online) for replacement tank stuff.
Replacing only part of the water, allows you to avoid dealing with the water conditioners and spending time futzing with the water. If you have black and white gravel, I'd recommend looking into ammonia absorbing gravel after a while- it does help keep the water clearer, but that's more of a 3m down the line sort of thing.
If you can keep your fish alive for a month, awesome! next step is to get a pair of algae eating shrimp. DO NOT GET THE ALGAE EATING CATFISH. (the catfish don't really stop growing, which is cool at first, but then... kind of scary).
For internet resources, I usually just google, and try to be very very specific in the question- there is waaaaay too much information out there.

How long has the tank been set up? Has your tank been properly
My instinct is that you're overstocked for a new tank, and you're going to run into problems. Did you use any cycling chemicals (basically, stinky bacteria) in your setup? Do you have a water testing kit? You want to be very careful about ammonia, pH, and nitrates for the first few weeks.
In terms of ongoing maintenance, you'll have to do some water changes (with treated water; I use Seachem Prime). You'll also need a gravel cleaner and a bucket.
There aren't many algae eaters that will do well in a tank your size, so I'd recommend keeping the tank away from direct sunlight. Maybe shrimp or snails? There are tank cleaners that look like erasers on magnets that you can use.
You probably only need to feed once a day -- overfeeding is really bad for your tank.

This is only true if you have chlorinated water; many places have chloramine, which does not dissipate over time.

QFT. I killed a fish once (a platy, in fact) because I didn't know this and the fish guy at the store didn't tell me. Get the chemicals. Relatively cheap, better safe than sorry.

I've had fish for ten years. If there is one piece of advice I would give, it is to invest in a
or similar product. Tank maintenance is so, so much easier (since you are going to be doing it, make it easy on yourselves.) The Python allows you to pull old water out of the tank directly into the sink (no buckets!) and then you make sure your tap water is the right temperature, flip a valve and refill your tank (again, no buckets!) I mix the water treatment (also use Seachem Prime) directly in the tank.
I did it the old fashioned way for the first few years, and I'm never going back.
Your fish will be happier slightly underfed than overfed. Don't starve them! But better a little hungry than too much food in the water-- both excess food and extra fish poop are not good for water chemistry. Watch them when you feed them and you will get a sense for how much is the right amount.
If you get a power outage, put a blanket over the tank to keep the temperature up. And the inverse, in a heat wave keep an eye on your tank to make sure it doesn't overheat.
has great forums to get advice as well.

The tank has been set up for two days, but the fish were added today. The tank came with some kind of goo that was added after the water treating chemically stuff. I can't remember what it was but it definitely smelled and it said something about "slime".
Evidently fish-store woman said that these were the appropriate fish for "setting" the tank, and that if we wanted more fish later we should wait a month. (I am totally happy with 8 fish.) (Apparently the woman thought we'd kill some fish - there's a warranty).
Oh, and the tank does not have a lid or a light - should it? Does it matter? It is not in direct sunlight.

If I remember my tanks correctly neons are hard to keep alive. They need really clean water, which is almost impossible to maintain in a 10 gallon tank. When you need to replace fish look at zebras. They are small, very active and fun to watch, and basically indestructible.

A lid is helpful to help slow evaporation, and also to helps keep stuff from falling into the tank.
posted by
on January 11, 2013
I think you'll be ok with the fish you have an no lid; some types of fish are kind of jumpy.
The neons I usually add when the tank is much older (6 months), because they like stable water.
The slime coat isn't enough; you need something for cycling the tank (Tetra Safestart, etc.)
I wouldn't toss the filter material each time -- you'd be getting rid of the beneficial bacteria that breaks down the ammonia produced by your fish. Instead, siphon out your dirty water into a bucket and then rinse the filter material in the water to dislodge the physical particles.

My parents taught me the right way to feed my fish by prepping little dixie cups of food for me to dump in the tanks. They did this for me as a little kid, but also for anyone of any age who was feeding our fish while we were away. The temptation to overfeed is very, very strong and it can be harmful to the creatures and the tank. What they can consume in under 5 minutes (the tiniest of pinches) as mentioned above is a good measure.
It's worth noting that larger tanks are actually a little easier to take care of, since the water needs less cleaning and the ratio of bad-:good-for-fishes stuff is more forgiving.
Is the tank in your daughter's room? Does she use/want a nightlight? Fish tanks are wonderful late-night companions and that might be a fun reason to get a light if you want one.
New water and abrupt temp changes are killers. Don't ever replace all the water at once. Introduce new fish slowly: first, in their bag floating in your tank so they adjust to the temperature, then dumping them and (almost always) their own water in after the time recommended by the store has passed.
If you found a store you like and trust, don't hesitate to call the shop with questions and identify an expert there you like to talk to. Nothing is worse than bringing home new fish that don't thrive because the store didn't take care of them.

Basically you need to age a tank so that the filters etc work properly. Aging or "setting" the tank means getting a nice healthy colony of good bacteria going that will convert the fishes wastes from stuff that will kill them to basically harmless matter. While you still have to filter the solids out of the tank, it is the chemicals in the waste that do the most damage to fish until they are broken down. There are very few ways to rush this process and it can take from a month to 8 weeks. This is why the fish store woman thinks you are going to loose a few fish and you probably will. You can get things to add to the water to help the bacteria establish, or if you know someone with tank putting some of there dirty gravel in can help "seed the bacteria into your tank (and spread diseases so trust your source before you do this).
As you already have the fish and so can't do a fishless cycling to get the good bacteria up to speed first things, some you can do to reduce the stress to your fish are to do regular water changes to help decrease the levels of nasties in the water. Take out say 10% of the water and replace it with fresh water of the same temp as your tank, that has had the chemicals to remove chlorine etc from it stirred in. I would do this at least twice a week for the first few weeks, though once established this needs to be done a lot less often as water changes are stressful to fish, a little and often is better than doing a huge water change at once.
I would get a lid for the tank, evaporation will only help to increase the concentrations of ammonia etc in the water and it stops things jumping into and out of the tank. A light really isn't important except it makes viewing the fish easier or if you decide to add live plants.
Snickerdoodles advice on fliter cleaning very important.
Getting a siphon vac to do water changes into a bucket is a pretty easy way to clean the solids off the bottom. Just make sure any buckets you use for the fish tank and water are only used for it and don't have chemicals etc from other uses in them.
If or when you loose some fish, I'd suggest waiting a month before buying any more fish and then slowly add the fish one or 2 at a time so you give the bacteria time to catch up. For a first tank I'd suggest sticking with guppies (though avoid mixing males and females unless you want 3 million babies and harried females), plattys and mollys are pretty and pretty tough too as are the zebra danios someone else suggested.
Ask lots of questions at the petshop. I worked in a petshop part time for years and my favourite customers where the ones that asked a thousand questions because they wanted to learn. It's the ones that would insist on buying a tank and dumping in a bunch of expensive fish the next day with no idea of care etc, then would come in and tell my our fish sucked because they were all dead a week later that drove me crazy.

Our kid's tank had a
bamboo shrimp
in it for a long, long time and he was frankly the star of the show. He was the only creature in the tank with a name ("Clark", for those who are interested.
It's a long story

...but you'd want to adjust your bioload a little before adding anything else. But the shrimp was a gas.

Small tanks are actually much more difficult to maintain than larger tanks -- the water conditions can fluctuate more rapidly because there's less volume. Ideally, you would have added fish one at a time as you got the biological cycle set up in the tank. Now, you can salvage things by doing frequent water changes with non-chlorinated or treated water that is the same temp. as the existing water. If any fish die, wait a while before adding new ones. Live plants help get the biological cycle set up as well. Platies also enjoy nibbling on live plants.
When it comes to feeding fish, less is more. They will always act hungry, but just give them a pinch of food.
Platies are very hardy and they're livebearers, so if you have males and females you will get baby fish. A trio of platies (2 females, one male) and two cory cats work well in a ten gallon, just in case you need to re-stock your tank in the future.
I have found neons to be touchy, and it seems that many neons in pet stores are in poor health before you even bring them home. Don't blame yourself too much if they don't make it. Good luck!
posted by
on January 11, 2013
Yeah, the neons didn't make it (already). The other four seem to be fine so far. Thanks for all the advice - I'll be making friends with the fish lady soon, and won't be adding any more fish until we get things stable.
I'm also shocked at how much evaporation there is already!

Harissa-Spiced Chopped Salad
By SoupAddict on August 28, 2012
Featured BlogHer Network Post
[Editor's Note: This week's Quicker Dinners option is a quick-to-pull-together salad that features plenty of iron-packed raw spinach, a protein punch from eggs, and a flavor boost from North African condiment harissa. It's a great option when you need to put dinner on the table quickly, but want to make sure everyone coming to dinner gets plenty of nutrition on their plate! --Genie]
Spinach, egg & harissa chopped salad
Spinach, eggs, grains, fresh garden veggies … and harissa. The happy surprise for me in this recipe was impact of the harissa, the only condiment in this salad. A full tablespoon made me nervoushot!but it was just the right balance of spice and heat.
