Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, and Josh Gad to Provide Voice Talents for Mixed-Animation 'Me & My Shadow'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on January 31, 2012 | Comments (3)With the reign of Pixar ever-so-steadily slipping (2011 marks the first year that the studio released a new film, Cars 2 in this case, that was not nominated for Best Animated Feature), it looks like another studio is looking to capitalize on original and appealing ideas. DreamWorks Animation is now casting for their next original film, Me & My Shadow, which will center "on Stan, a shadow who yearns for a more exciting life than being attached to a timid human named Stanley Grubb. When a crime in the shadow community puts both of their lives in danger, Stan is forced to take control of Stanley, thrusting both of them into an adventure featuring a shadowy villain, who intends to lead a rebellion to take over the human world." The studio has cast Bill Hader as shadow Stan, with Josh Gad as his scaredy-cat human Stanley and Kate Hudson as Stanley's real world love interest. While the film's plot is cute enough already, the studio is also looking to branch out with a bit of a gimmick that ties into it – the film will be made up two different kinds of animation. The "shadow world" will reportedly be hand-drawn, while Stanley's "human world" will be CG. Alessandro Carloni will make his directorial debut with Shadow, but his resume includes a very encouraging sign – he was head of story on DreamWorks Animation's thoroughly excellent How to Train Your Dragon. The script will come from Tom J. Astle and Matt […]
35 Things We Learned From the 'Knocked Up' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 6, 2011 | Comments (2)It's time to crank up the Ol' Dirty Bastard, imbibe in your favorite – LEGAL – activity, and start the baby making. In this week's Commentary Commentary, we're hitting up one of the best comedies of the past 10 years, Knocked Up. Aside from being one of the dozen films that have made Judd Apatow a vigintillionaire, apart from being the film that landed Seth Rogen on the A-list, the movie is just damned funny. Heart-warming, of course. What would an Apatow movie be without heart? Well, it would probably be You Don't Mess With the Zohan, but we're not even going to mention that abomination here. Just ignore that previous utterance of the title. Anyway, back to Knocked Up, Apatow has amassed a solid line-up for his commentary track. Rogen and co-star Bill Hader are on board to deliver their own stories and insight into the making of the film. Something tells me the commenting under the influence didn't stop with last week's movie. That Rogen sure likes to partake. He's always stoned. And funny. Mostly funny. But one might have a hand in the other. So here's what we learned from the commentary track to Knocked Up. Cue the ODB!
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: April 29, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on April 29, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr gets in his car and hits the road with a can of NOS energy drink and his shaved head. Too bad his car is a 2006 Dodge minivan with collapsible seats and a back-seat DVD player for the kids to use. He didn't stand a chance in the street racing against Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. After recovering from the cold, hard truth that The Rock stole his look for Fast Five, Kevin goes stag to Prom and suffers through the direct-to-DVD theatrical release of Hoodwinked Too!: Hood vs. Evil.
Tom Cruise's 'Tropic Thunder' Character Les Grossman Has His Own Script
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 11, 2011 | Comments (2)While attending the first-ever Comedy Awards Bill Hader stopped to have a chat with MTV cameras and gave up a few details about the Les Grossman spinoff of Tropic Thunder that has been rumored for a while. As it turns out, the project is not only still going forward, but the script has been completed. Hader says that Michael Bacall, one of the screenwriters on last year's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, wrote the script and that, "he's told me some really funny scenes from it." When the Grossman film was first reported last June, Neil Miller posited whether or not the character would be rich enough in story to anchor his own film, with the ultimate theory being that Cruise had enough clout to gather together the talent to make it work. I'd say that with the hiring of Bacall to write the script, this scenario is looking very possible. I loved what Bacall and Edgar Wright were able to do with their Scott Pilgrim adaptation, and I'm interested in seeing something of his that's original. Factor in that Cruise has enough enthusiasm for the Grossman character to have already revisited him for vignettes leading up to the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, and I'm sure they chose very carefully when deciding who they wanted to write the script. Hader, at the very least, seems to already be confident in the project. He has gone on record as saying, "it's gonna be great." So, yeah, an actor has told MTV […]

Review: 'Paul' Is Closer to Home Than Out of This World
Movie Reviews By Scott Beggs on March 18, 2011 | Comments (1)There's an old hobby that most everyone shares of creating dream teams. Maybe it's figuring out the best possible basketball players to toss onto one roster (which dominates the Olympics in the 90s), maybe it's thinking up physics-defying, time-travel-based bands which see Robert Plant playing with Buddy Rich and Townes Van Zandt, maybe it's seeing some of the best in the comedy business come together to merge styles and create a movie. Paul is what it's like when worlds collide. The dry, awkward humor of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost coming together under satire and humanistic comedy of director Greg Mottola with a healthy blend of Kristen Wiig, Seth Rogen, and Jason Batemen in tow. The results don't explode into orbit, but the movie is as enjoyable as any other standard road trip comedy out there.
Bill Hader Says the Judd Apatow Slasher Flick is Still On
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 11, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's been a while since Bill Hader was gabbing about the slasher film that he is collaborating with Judd Apatow on. Way back in the when he said the movie was called House of Joel, and he described it by saying, "It's partially Straw Dogs meets Halloween meets Home Alone meets The Monster Squad." If I didn't know better, I would say he looked into my mind and stole that quote directly from my deepest fantasies. Recently Hader spilled some more details about the project and where they're at with its development when talking to The Playlist. Firstly, Hader says that there has probably been a name change, "Well, I'm not sure it's called House of Joel anymore. I don't know what's happening with it exactly. Judd, me, and Jason Woliner are gonna meet in L.A. soon to figure out what the next steps are. It's a funny, funny script and it's Judd's take on a slasher movie. It's been a long gestating project, but I think it's worth it because it just keeps getting better." Better sounds good, but Apatow hasn't done anything yet other than comedies with a little added heart. What would an Apatow-made horror film look like?
Everyone Wants to Get Involved with Aubrey Plaza for 'The Hand Job'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on March 9, 2011 | Comments (3)The comedy talent for The Handjob is swelling with Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Donald Glover, Connie Britton, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, and Johnny Simmons. The film is being written and directed by Bill Hader's comedian wife Maggie Carey. That's not to say that he has a drama wife, too. It's meant to show that she's also professionally funny. The modifier placement is just weird. Regardless, Hader expounded on the plot to The Playlist recently, saying "It's about her playing an type-A, studious girl who graduates high school and hasn't done anything with a guy. The summer before college she decides that she has to find out how to do everything in order to be properly prepared, so she makes a very serious bullet list of everything, like… hand-job, titty-fuck, blow-job, fingering, and just kinda checks one off every time she does it. She's being the aggressor and is very straight-forward about it, like 'Okay, so I'm going to give you a hand-job now.' And the guys are very taken aback about it, especially her straight-laced friends." Sold.
SNL Alum Bill Hader Landing Some Serious Roles
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 9, 2011 | Be the First To CommentBill Hader has been pretty successful in spinning his Saturday Night Live exposure into a film career so far. Chances are, if a comedy was released in the last three years, Bill Hader was probably in it for at least a couple minutes. But usually all he does is show up in a small role, do some of his clueless, uptight, Bill Hader shtick, and then move on to the next one. Now that he's paid some dues, it looks like the funnyman is finally looking to move in a more serious direction. He's got a couple movies in the works that not only put him in bigger roles, but also look to allow him to expand his acting experience in different directions. Hader and Hot Rod director Akiva Schaffer are working together on a film called Henchman, which Hader described to The Playlist by saying, "The film is about two guys who don't realize it, but they're two henchman for like the badguy in a Bourne movie and then they slowly figure who that they're working for the wrong guys, but like doing it in the actual style of a Bourne movie." Sounds like more of a blending of the action and comedy genres than it does a straight gag fest to me. At first glance, using the Bourne trilogy as inspiration for a comedy might seem strange, but Hader explains, "The aesthetics of a 'Bourne' movie, the shaky and handheld camera, that documentary feeling is how they shoot […]

A couple months ago I discovered that the husband half of a couple I've known for years was leaving his wife for one of his grad students. I was shocked. I mean, I've had friends go through relationship ups and downs before, but this couple was one I'd always looked up to as a relationship ideal. It sounds cliché, but they seemed like the perfect couple. They were both creative, independent (yet also very supportive of each other) and seemed very much in love. They went on adventurous vacations, were both still super hot—hell, they even had a house with a white picket fence! How could they break up?! How could they do this to me?! Keep reading »

OK. Posted a thread a while ago asking about 239, P2000(sk), XD and M&P.
Went to gun shop and fondled all of them.
It is now down to the HK P2000 (unsure if I want regular size or SK) or SIG 239.
Also unsure of 9mm vs 40. Think I'm leaning with 9mm just for slight ammo cost advantage.
I was not impressed by the M&P. It felt - I dunno. Very "tinny" and "hollow" compared to the HK and of course, SIG. I held a compact 40 and full size 45. To *me* there is no comparison between the HK and M&P. Of course, there's a huge price difference as well.
The XD. Eh. Dunno. I loved them when I first held them a year ago. Now they just feel/look a bit top heavy and blocky.
Keep in mind I have tiny girl like hands...
A gun I was very impressed with was the Berreta PX4 Storm. Man, wasn't expecting it to feel as solid as it was. Felt great. Too bad the sub compact isn't out right now.
I actually held the HK P2000 first. Felt right instantly. And that was with the medium backstrap. With small it would be even better!
The 239 with hogue grip would feel darn nice too. There are some really nice LNIB used examples on various boards and gunbroker right now.
I'm leaning towards the HK P2000 SK as of now though. It's lighter and as I understand it, I can use the full size mags from the 2000 if I wanted with an X-grip thingie and basically, it becomes a P2000.
I can *just* get my pinky squished while holding the 2000SK. Feels very solid, tight, controllable.
Unless there's some solid feeback for the SIG, I'm leaning to the HK P2000SK pretty heavily. I can get some very nice 239's for $500-$625 though. And they are very nice guns.
Whaddya say people?

You should also keep in mind that because of the nature of flash memory technology, solid-state hard drives have a relatively well-defined time before failure. An article by Robert Hallock at Icrontic.com called "The Hows and Whys of SSDs" provides a more in-depth, but also accessible description of the issue. The gist is that you get about 100,000 read-write cycles before the memory will wear out. As Hallock puts it, "While 100,000 cycles seems slight, it's more than 100GiB of new information written to the disk every day for five years before approaching failure." Perhaps your drive usage is more demanding, and if so, you'd be wise to weigh it carefully before springing for Intel's expensive new drive.
To test the performance of Intel's X-25M drive, we installed it in a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with a 2GHz dual-core processor and 32-bit Windows Vista Ultimate. For comparison we used a 200GB Seagate Momentus laptop hard drive with a 7,200rpm access speed (most traditional laptops drives are rated to 5,400rpm), and a 128GB Patriot Warp V.2 solid-state drive.
First, we installed Windows Vista Ultimate separately onto each clean drive and copied over our standard 10GB folder that we use for all hard-drive benchmark tests. Next, we performed a combined read and write test by measuring the time it took for the hard drive to copy all 10GB to another folder on the disk. We also ran our laptop battery drain test, which gauges how long a laptop will last on battery power while playing a movie. Finally, we subjected each drive to a boot speed test, hand timing how long it took to go from pressing the power button to a ready-to-go-Windows cursor.
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
(Shorter bars indicate better performance)
The Intel X-25M was the clear winner on every test. Its read/write access speed was just under twice as fast as either the Patriot solid-state drive or Seagate's 7,200rpm laptop hard drive. We're also particularly impressed by the battery drain test, wherein the Intel drive kept our Dell laptop running for almost 20 minutes longer than its competition. And while its boot time advantage might be less dramatic, the Intel drive still maintained an observable edge. The verdict is clear, then: the Intel drive is faster, and will keep your laptop running longer, than either a traditional hard drive or its solid-state competition.
While it might not be surprising that the X-25M outperformed a traditional hard drive, we were impressed at the extent to which the Intel drive surpassed the Patriot SSD. Intel attributes its advantage to a ground-up design philosophy that's more thorough than its SSD competitors. If the proof is in the benchmarks, Intel seems to have achieved its goal. The prices need to come way down on solid-state drives before they achieve mainstream acceptance. The capacity also needs to increase for them to compete with standard hard drives for the sheer amount of data they can hold. But for gamers, travelers, digital media creators, or anyone for whom performance or battery life are the most important factors in buying or building a computer, Intel's X-25M has shown that it is at least the best-performing internal storage device on the market.

Hi all,
This isn't so much of a "how do.." but rather than "when do i.."..
SO I am planning to make a 3-layer 8 inch round cake covered in pink fondant, and then have a green fondant border going around it, on which will be stenciled lustre dust.
When should I attach the border to the cake? Before stenciling the lustre dust onto it? Or first lay the border down on the counter, stencil the dust onto it and then lightly spray water onto the fondant and try to attach to the border after?
My only concern is that if I stencil first, and then go to attach the border, I will smudge the border accidentally with my fingers.
BUT if I put the fondant on first, and then go to stencil, I may not get as great a coverage since it will not be flat and I may have trouble stenciling the dust at an angle.
Any suggestions?

Just wanted to share some money savings to fellow TW members.
As some may or may not know Dish Network lost the AMC channel. I called their disconnect line to see what kind of deal they could give me to "stay" with them. Keep in mind that I have over a year left on my contract so in reality I wouldn't leave anyway.
They offered to send me a free ROKU 2 XD, $30 credit, $10 credit for every month left on my contract, and all the movie channels that I select for half price for 6 months. (Coincidentally I was going to buy a ROKU 2 XD this weekend).
So if anyone else has Dish I suggest taking advantage of this deal. You have to go to their disconnect department when you select the phone option and not their regular customer service.
Good luck.

Tibial torsion is an inward twisting of the shin bones (the bones that are located between the knee and the ankle). Tibial torsion causes the child's feet to turn inward, or have what is also known as a "pigeon-toed" appearance. It is typically seen among toddlers.
Tibial torsion can occur due to the position of the baby in the uterus. It also has a tendency to run in families. Typically, a child's walking style looks like that of his or her parents.
When the child is first learning how to walk, tibial torsion can create an intoeing appearance. As the feet toe in, the legs look like they are bowed. The bowed leg stance actually helps children achieve greater balance as they stand. Their balance is not as steady when they try to stand and walk with their feet close together or with their feet turned out. This may cause them to trip and fall.
The diagnosis of tibial torsion is made by a history and physical examination by your child's doctor. During the examination, the doctor obtains a complete prenatal and birth history of the child and asks if other family members are known to have tibial torsion. Typically, the diagnosis can be made without an X-ray.
Specific treatment for tibial torsion will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
The extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
The twisting of the shin bones usually improves with time. As the child grows, walking will become more normal, usually around 5 to 8 years of age.
Occasionally, braces or special shoes are prescribed by the doctor.
Tibial torsion has a very good prognosis. Many cases correct themselves as the child grows. On rare occasions, tibial torsion can be severe and surgery may be required to straighten the shin bones.
It is important to know that tibial torsion does not lead to arthritis or any other future health problems.

Autobahn is cement? I don't think so (712 comments)
I drive on the Autobahn every other day, and practically all of it is paved with asphalt.
Also, mean temperatures in Germany (13C) are much higher than in Canada (-8C).

1) It's asphalt.
2) The beer is not frozen.

Well no-one else seems to know, so I will tell you what I know even though it is in context to Linux.
Firstly, you will have to set up your own nameservers on your box. Now in Linux there are some files to edit, however I have no idea what to do in NT. However, it is a matter of telling the box that you want your server (i.e. server1.yourdomain.com) to be at that IP (i.e. 111.222.333.444) and also you will have to create two nameserver records, usually ns1 and ns2.
The problem that I can see is that you won't have two IP addresses, so you will not be able to run your namservers purely off your own box. Therefore I suggest instead that you run one nameserver off your local box, and point ns2 at a webserver somewhere.
OK now that you have decided your nameserver IPs etc. you need to create nameserver host records for your domain, which you do at the registrar you used to register the domain. This is different to pointing the nameservers! Unfortunately you will only be able to create one nameserver with one IP instead of 2. Should still work though.
Now you need to point the nameservers for yourdomain.com at ns1.yourdomain.com (which you just set up using your IP, which is configured in your box) and ns2.somewebserver.net
Wait a while for those to resolve, and it should work. The only thing is, you will have to ask your ISP to add a reverse DNS (a PTR record) to map your IP to your domain. This is necessary for a lot of mail to work.
Finally, go to www.dnsreport.com and type in yourdomain.com (obviously, your own domain) and see what it says. There should not be any fails although there will probably be some warnings. You can also dig and ping your server and it's IP and the nameservers, and see what the result is.
Summary: Difficult to accomplish because you are using NT and not Linux. Also, difficult because you only have one IP available. However, no reason why you cannot do it (in theory!)
Well I hope that helps! I have successfully set up my own nameservers on my own webservers so I have done this before. But I wouldn't touch NT for this even though I use XP Pro and IIS 5 at home for development.
Good luck!

While the whitefish is nice, you can serve the beet salad with gefilte fish, too (less effort, and it still makes a nice presentation). Add extra horseradish to the beet salad for extra punch. Yummy! I made this to bring a long to a seder three years ago, and they've asked me to bring it back every year since.
White fish salad was uneventful. Beet salad was odd. They certainly do not belong together.

Regex .. anybody have some really good references for this?
I'm a straight up regex noob! And most of the things I've read don't make sense to me. I can understand the menu at the chinese restaurant better then regex!
Are there any really really good sources out there? Like Regex for Dummies? I'd like to be able to understand this stuff!
Much thanks!

Dude welcome to my world. Some people dream in regex; the rest of us just limp along, hoping we can get the most elementary expressions to do what we want them to!
The best way I've found for figuring out just what the hell is happening with a given expression is to use an online regex tester. I've been pretty happy with this one:
With a tester you can make small changes to both the expression and the string you're evaluating and see what effect the change makes.
Aside from that, I find that reading this website very slowly, over and over again, I can absorb some of the concepts. I forget them quickly, so I have to read the same pages over and over. And over. I just don't do well with regex!

I've used a lot but can't for the life of me remember which ones without just googling. So let me explain the concept:
The truncated and not entirely accurate idea is that a regular expression is an expression that describes a regular syntax. It does this by describing which and how many characters can and cannot appear, in order.
So, the most restrictive regular expression only has one match. For example, I can match the following (line 1):
I am a god
with the following (r1):
/I am a god/
BAM! I have described line 1 with r1! Go regular expressions. But that's kind of useless for the most part. The real power of regular expressions is that they can allow matching based on many rules. The most basic of these rules comes down to how you describe what happens in a particular location in the syntax. For example, I want to be able to accept both of these strings into my syntax.
(line 1)
I am a god
(line 2)
I am a God
So I can write the following regex (yes, I know about sensitivity switches, I'm starting slow and easy):
/I am a [gG]od/
Bam! Now, what happened? Basically, this expression says in each position in the string, you've gotta match the characters I provide exactly. But, for the 8th character slot, I provided 2 characters, g and G, so either will work. So that means, I could technically rewrite this as:
/[I][ ][a][m][ ][gG][o][d]/
the square brackets make up a character set. So each spot except the "g" has a single acceptable character in it's set. But we don't bother with the braces unless we need them.
So, now you understand character sets, so let's move on to special character sets:
\s - white space
\d - digit
. - anything
So let's say I don't care what you say you are, but you have to say you are some 3-letter object:
I am a god
I am a dog
I am a fop
/I am a .../
Let's say I want to allow spaces OR tabs between words
Let's say I want you to write you are any 3-letter word ending in the letter "x"
I am a sex
I am a dex
I am a lex
/I am a ..x/
Getting it?
Ok, now, more special characters. There are certain properties of a string that have nothing to do with the characters in it. The 2 most common are beginning and end of the line. It turns out, my regexes above all match more than what I said. They match ANY string as long as the pattern is satisfied at some point:
/I am a god/ will accept "Hey, did you hear? I am a god. Isn't that cool" because the pattern is in the string. How do I restrict it to ONLY what I want?
/^I am a god$/
^ - beginning of line
$ - end of line
Line must start with the letter I
or /^[iI]/
Line must end with a question mark or period
I had to escape the . because . means "any character" if you remember.
Only 2 more things left and you'll be advanced enough to use regexes every day. First, NEGATION. You can put any character at the beginning of a line EXCEPT y or Y.
Beginning of line, negated character set of y,Y. So yes, ^ means beginning of line when it's at the beginning of the line, but it means "not" when it's in square braces.
And finally, count modifiers. You can have as many spaces and tabs as you want between two words (including 0 spaces or tabs):
You can have any number of spaces or tabs, but you need at least one
You can have one comma at the end of your line, but it's optional. You cannot have more than comma:
So again:
[] - character set
[^] - negated character set
^ - beginning of line
$ - end of line
\s - white space
\d - digit
. - any character
* - 0 or more of preceding character/character set
+ - 1 or more of " "
? - 0 or 1 of ""
\ - escape special character (if you want to accept a wack and an "s" you would do /\\s/)
And you're off and running. Get learning. Hopefully these now make way more sense to you and you can do the rest on your own!

25 Years Ago Harriman City Council unanimously passed a resolution to borrow $3.1 million for a new wastewater treatment facility. The state ordered the city to have a new facility operating by July 1988 in order to meet new clean water regulations. The amount of the Harriman Utility Board sewer rate increases would depend on the price of the bids and how many grants the city could obtain. Initial estimates ranged from 35- to 80-percent rate increases.

Lions Club members all over the world are planting trees to signify to the public the presence of Lions in their communities while replacing trees lost by tornadoes, tsunamis and disasters.
The goal is to plant more 1 million trees to represent one tree for each member of Lions Clubs International.
The program has been a great success — more than 4.2 million trees have already been planted, and more are planted each day.
By Ellen Probert Williamson In January the Cree Indians say, "This is the time the world changes, the time when you can be transformed. You are the center fire. You are the flowering tree. The whole of a human's life is watched by the thunder chiefs. You have a road within you, a turquoise road. Move your spirit on your turquoise road."
Southern Appalachia Railway Museum will roll out its restored 88-year old Pullman dining car for its annual Valentine dinner trains.
An assortment of four entrée choices await couples, who have an opportunity to experience the romantic setting enjoyed by travelers during the golden age of rail travel in the 1930s and '40s.
The museum's Secret City Scenic Excursion Train's Valentine trips have become so popular that four departures are planned.

The last day to sound off in the "Noise!" traveling exhibition is only a day away — the interactive playful look at the physics of sound closes Dec. 31 at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge.
The exhibit gives museum visitors the opportunity to use flip flops to play music on the pipe organ or use the mallet to create musical notes on the various sizes of wrenches attached to the globe.
It will also show visitors how many decibels they can generate when they enter the scream chamber.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.
Roane County Executive Ron Woody was among officials from the Oak Ridge area who recently attended the U.S. Department of Energy's Intergovernmental conference in New Orleans.
Participants met with federal, state, and local leaders from DOE sites across the nation, including newly appointed leadership in DOE's Environmental Management Program.

One of the most recognizable items at Oak Ridge's Secret City Festival is the T-shirt.
It's been red; it's been blue; it's been tie-dyed; it's glowed in the dark. But it's pretty much had the same design year after year – a T-shirt with a logo on it.

Your kids want to camp in the yard. With all the tent styles and sizes out there, how do you know which one to choose? Here are my Top 5 tents for backyard camping (in no particular order) with reviews and specs. After researching a lot of outdoor tents, these five are my top picks.
Just roll your mouse over an image to freeze it and to see the price.
Backyard camping doesn't require a lot of work, because you simply pitch a tent just outside your back door! Older kids can camp by themselves in the backyard. This teaches them independence and the ability to think through a situation. Little kids need to be monitored, so don't leave them alone. This could also be a practice run for introducing wilderness camping to your kids.
1. Coleman Montana 8-Person Tent
If parents will be camping with their kids, you're going to need a tent large enough for adults. This Coleman tent holds 8 people. It's even big enough for a larger group of kids who want to stay in the same tent.
74″ Center Height
16′ x 7′
Pros: The door slams shut like a screen door, which means you don't have to constantly zip and unzip it. High enough to stand up in. One person wrote that it was roomy enough for two inflatable queen mattresses and a port-a-crib!
Cons: Most reviewers thought the tent kept them bone dry in the rain, but some people related that they were wet inside when it rained, and that there were parts missing when the tent arrived. Some reviewers wished there was a window on the wall opposite the door for better ventilation.
2. Plixio 2-Person Tent
This 2-person tent is super easy to set up and has plenty of ventilation.
42″ Center Height
5'6″ x 4'8″
Pros: Simple to set up. Lightweight. Screen windows offer plenty of ventilation.
Cons: May be too small for adults.
3. Marmot Limelight 3-Person Tent
Also easy to set up, this tent stays dry when it rains.
46″ Center Height
7'9″ x 5'6″
Pros: Stayed dry when it rained. Extremely easy to set up. Excellent ventilation.
Cons: A bit small for 3 people; really a 2-person tent.
4. Eureka Copper Canyon 4-Person Tent
With plenty of windows for ventilation, this tent also has lots of head space.
84″ Center Height
8′ x 8′
Pros: Excellent ventilation with large screen windows on all four sides. Easy to put together. Lots of space to stand up and walk around in. Has pockets to put stuff in and a hole for an electrical cord to run through. Stayed dry in the rain.
Cons: Not great in very windy areas as the tent flaps in the wind.
5. Mountain Trails 4-Person Tent
With a screened top and a rainfly, this is a cozy tent.
52″ Center Height
9′ x 7′
Pros: Easy to put up. The top of the tent is screened with a rainfly on top, which lets air flow through.
Cons: Not good in heavy rain. Not really roomy enough for 4 people.
Bonus Recommendation: Waterproof Tarp
To keep the floor of your tent dry, and cover the ground under your tent, first lay down this waterproof tarp. Use it to keep sand, dirt, pine needles, etc. from being tracked into your tent. It's 8′ x 10′ which is large enough for all the Top 5 tents except the 8 person tent.
Pros: Great to use as a ground tarp under tents when camping. Great price.
Cons: Thin, and can rip if used as a cover.
How many people will be using the tent?
The first thing you need to consider is how many people will be using the tent. Backyard camping is probably a few kids, or one kid and one parent, so you really don't need too much room. The rule of thumb is to figure one less adult than the tent is built for. So if it's a 4-person tent, you can figure 3 people (adults) will be comfortable in it. But if you're talking about kids rather than adults using the tent, kids don't take up as much space and more of them can fit into the tent.
How easy is it to set up the tent?
The Great American Backyard Campout has excellent suggestions for pitching a tent, including setting it up before your campout to make sure everything is in order.
What if it rains?
When camping, what's more miserable than being in a tent that doesn't stay dry in the rain? There are a couple of things you can do to waterproof your tent, such as using a silicone water repellent like Scotchguard, or using seam tape to cover the tiny holes left by sewing needles when the tent was made.
If it's raining and you touch the inside of the tent, the surface tension is broken. This releases condensation on the insides of the tent and this might be the reason your tent is not keeping out the water.
If you stay in the tent during a storm and it begins to lightning, call off your campout and go in the house to be safe.
What if it's too hot in the tent?
You need to keep the tent door closed to keep out the bugs and night animals. A tent with vented mesh windows is great for air circulation. You can also use a small electric fan to keep the air moving.
How can you make it more comfortable in the tent?
Lots of sleeping bags, blankets and pillows!
There you have it. Top 5 backyard camping tents that will keep your kids happy playing in their own backyard!

Silber Resurfaces: Help Preserve a Vital Voice |

Arthur Silber has surfaced again after a long silence due to chronic -- and worsening -- illness. As you can see from this post, his health remains precarious, and he is need of assistance -- not only for the bare modicum of health care that he might be able to eke out with a few extra dollars, but also just to survive on a daily basis: buying food, paying rent, etc. |

I'm looking forward to the Economist doing a comprehensive 14 page investigative report titled: "Euro Under Attack!"
Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
I'm looking forward to the Economist doing a comprehensive 14 page investigative report titled: "Euro Under Attack!"
I read an intersting quote about Japan's debt burden yesturday. Japanese with their debt/GDP ratio of 200% is like saying someone has jumped off the Empire State Bldg and they are screaming to people on floors 66, 65, 64...that "they are still alive", "look at us"...
They could use China's help and their influence however with that Japan looses the risk of Japanese culture. I also thing the emergence of South Korea as a power could destabilize the region...
enriquecost - something of a fantasy world there. The Japanese borrowed almost all their money from their own citizens, not from external sources, but will blow up catastrophically fairly soon anyway as the savings rate fails to keep up with the government's need to roll over debt.
Greece is in a much bigger world of woe: This deal will lend it sufficient money to ignore the markets for 3 to 4 years. At which point Greece needs to be considered fiscally sound enough to borrow on its own again. To get to that position, it needs to be clearly visible that there is a route back to the constraints of the Stability and Growth Pact (Debt over the cycle <60% of GDP, deficit <3% of GDP). So it needs to show that it can not only pay the interest on c150bn euros at market rates but that it is also able to retire debt worth ~80% of GDP over a reasonable interval. To meet these expectations, it will not just have to hit the targets of getting it's deficit to below 3% in 4 years, but also show how it can make further cuts to fund debt repayment of at least 7.5% of GDP pa, while paying interest on a mountain of debt. Meanwhile, it has to get its economy into a position where it can realistically be expected to grow healthily.
The real horror for a socialist government is that is going to have to ask its citizens to reduce their incomes (deflate) by at least 25%, at the same time that it must reduce the costs that its businesses labour under. So cuts in corporation tax and compliance costs as well as abandoning swathes of bureaucracy (and that means civil service jobs). In sequence, the poor must become much poorer, and the rich much richer, before a "normal" social contract can be reintroduced. By which time the chances of a centrist government being in power are pretty thin.
Unless economic growth is targetted as ruthlessly as the debt and deficit, the markets will continue to spurn Greece when the terms of this bailout expire.
Phoevos22 - Expect more excuses for future "European" bailouts like Potugal, Spain...The banks have assets there as well...Its a bank bailout mased in sovereign debt so it will appear to the public like the "Prudent" politicans are helping countries when indeed its their own banks they are rescuing. Welcome to the NWO.
It seems to me that this package is more a European bailout than a Greek one.
Yes, Japan is helpless. Expect China to buyout many of Japan's corporations in the next year. They have severe problems.
I dont see any confidence priced into these markets for this to cease. Maybe i am wrong, but the markets have already spread contaigion and are looking for the next shoe to fall. The retracement projections on the Euro are not there and still show a downward trend. The eocnomy in Greece wont rebound until 2017. Not sure if you were looking for a shorter ROI but thats what the professionals are saying.
Even if Greece reaches a Public Debt of 140% of GDP it will be still 60 points lower than Japan´s 200%...
The Greek Government is undertaking the necessary steps to re-establish ist credibility. I don´t have any doubt Greece will come out from the present crisis as a better managed nation.
Athens, which is 1,300 Kms closer to Beijing than Sidney (Australia) 500 Kms closer to Beijing than Honolulu (U.S.) have an essential role in the increasing Trade between the European Union, China, Russia and the Mideast.
guitarra - With "Prudent" German terms, this will do wonders for the Greece economy. Germany's prudent loan terms will sink Greece further in the red. After all, Germany wont give any money unless they will make money from it. Even if its their Eurozone brother. I would love to read the "Security" section of the document that states if Greece does not repay any of the loan, Germany can claim small islands in the med. I am 100% + that is baked into the terms...
"Creditor" means "believer". Honestly, who should believe that corrupt thugs should change their minds once they are rescued?
Greek "restructuring" which will be the same as "default" is eminent. There will be massive haircuts and losses. And this Still does not fix the situation of Greece's GDP which will come out of this in three years as predicted (even with 120bn) at 140% Debt/GDP in more trouble than present.
And the Euro's structral flaws remain. The markets will ignore the bailout. Trust me. Its already priced into the market. Portugal, Spain, etc...No leadership, no true reform...This only buys Germany time how to exit from the sinking ship...
These banks are about to get b*tched slapped by Merkel and Lagarde and expect more banks to go under through consolidation and stricter reform.
Greece just got into more debt. Its like putting gas on the fire.
Greece has been bailed out. If they demonstrate that their habits have changed and their Administration has become more reliable and more efficient things will go well.
Meanwhile, Structural and Cohesion Funds from the European Union should be uses as insurance for Greek Debt.
Yes, there are two types of debt. Lets call debt that Greece issues (e.g. greek bonds, German bunds, US Treasuries, etc) Debt A. Then there is debt that the Greece Govt borrows called sovereign debt from foriegn banks called Debt B. Greek bonds (debt A) is exactly like US Treasuries. Debt B is borrowed by Greece so they can issue Debt A. Greece will default on Debt B so they cant issue anymore Debt A.
Thanks for the reply. Go slow with me. "Greek" bonds are issued by Euro banks, not by the Greek gov't, and so if Greece defaults, it screws with Eurobanks collectively? Greek bonds are not like T-bills (issued by the US Treasury). Am I getting this right?
JeWo - Structural flaws remain
Like airport security - these bailout measures are all reactive. Nothing proactive to reform the system that caused it all.
Other Euro countries are easily screwed over when the Greek bonds devalue and Greece cant pay them back. In addition, these bonds were issued or originated by European banks in other European countries. So, effectively what you are seeing is not so much a bailout to help the people of Greece but rather to help out European Banks. Sure, Euro politicians may sell it to their citizens that they are helping out Greece to look like a United States of Europe but in actuality, they are bailing out their own bonds at their own banks. The bankers win again...
Excuse my ignorance. How does Greek gov't/bonds tanking screw other Euro countries? Does Greek gov't have enough pull on ECB to drag rest of the Euro countries down?
Doug Pascover - You cant acquire Greece via equity because a) you wont get the leveraged returns in this market. b) GP interests.
Operation shock & awe will not quiet the markets. This problem will reach Portugal & Spain by June. This is just kicking the can down the road and we will see more bailouts.
And lets not forget, there will still be a run on the banks. Greece, Spain, Portugal, etc still have not addressed their low GDP growth levels and the Euro currency is not fixed and the interest rate mechanism is not fixed. The markets will see "right thru" all of this nonsense.

Nearly 14,000 deer harvested in Vermont in 2012The Associated Press | January 17,2013MONTPELIER - The state Fish and Wildlife Department says Vermont deer hunters successfully harvested nearly 14,000 deer in 2012, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
The totals reflect archery, youth, rifle and muzzleloader harvests.
Officials say last winter's relatively mild weather and shallow snow depths likely contributed to this fall's elevated deer harvest.
The low availability of traditional food sources such as apple orchards and beech and oak stands this past summer and fall also resulted in deer changing their movement patterns.
The department says one of the biggest increases was in archery, which rose 25 percent, to 3,384 deer.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department says eight children from the Charlotte Central... Full StoryGIRLS BASKETBALL Full StoryWHITE RIVER JCT. Full Story -

Scientists from Cardiff University are planning to set up a field centre in Borneo to research and conserve the smallest and rarest elephants in the world.
The Bornean Elephant is the focus of a three year study by a group from the School of Biosciences, led by Professor Michael Bruford. From a base in the Malaysian state of Sabah the team are exploring conservation and management strategies for the species.
Now the group is in discussions with the Sabah Wildlife Department about the possibilities of setting up a field centre in Borneo to further study the elephants, as well as the orang-utans which also live in the rainforest.
Professor Michael Bruford of the School of Biosciences said: "We've been trying to work out how habitat changes have affected the Bornean elephant. Where they used to roam freely, there are plantations all around. We are continuing to work with the Sabah wildlife department and are setting up a little field centre with them next year."
The Bornean elephant is the most endangered member of the elephant family, with an estimated 1,500 - 2,000 currently surviving in the wild. Their habitat has been changed by oil palm plantations and logging, which has also affected the orang-utans.
Professor Bruford and the research team hope that the field centre will allow them to study in depth the Bornean elephants, orang-utans and other animals and to develop conservation and habitat management plans.
