- Our war against the Taliban is going so well that the Taliban leaders are negotiating their surrender to Karzai's Afghan government! Yes, that's it, "surrender" is what it is, when your high-level officials join the government that was trying to destroy you. If there's any consolation, they're only doing it because their own underlings are starting to freak them out. Anyway, just to show that the fun isn't ending, the Taliban blew up some NATO fuel trucks in Pakistan. (Did we mention that NATO would be out of Afghanistan and Pakistan, after the Taliban surrender?) [AP/NYT]
- Who will save Barack Obama and the Democrats come November? Not Latinos, it turns out! [NYT]

Serolf_Divad Wait… you mean when Obama responded to the Arizona law proclaiming it illegal to be a Latino by rushing National guard troops and predator drones to the border, that move did not endear Hispanics to the Democratic party? Gosh, who'd a think it?
Well, at least Obama now has the support of the Tea Party movement and is thus assured huge Democratic gains in November.
LionelHutzEsq Still, we had to do something about the lawless tribal border regions of Arizona.
kenlayisalive Arizona: America's Kyrgyzstan.
Zvi_Bleindmeis Now, see, here's the Hope we all voted for. A three-way with the Taliban would NEVER have occurred during the Bush years. The only sex position W would have considered is "96."
chascates We're declaring victory in Afghanistan!
kenlayisalive Hopefully the Taliban will allow our shipment of "Mission Accomplished" banners to make it to Kabul unscathed.
freakishlywrong Ah Jeez…2012- looks like PUMAS, pantsuits and cankles are back on the menu, boys.
elpinche Latinos not voting this time around after Sotomayor and Arizona's Get-the-Fuck-Out -You-Dirty-Spics law ? Hahahahaha Ok. I guess they love surprises.
V572625694 NYT: "In a sign that the government was continuing to distance itself from the attacks, the police chief in Quetta, Malik Muhammad Iqbal said it was not the responsibility of the government to provide security for the convoys. In the past few days, senior police officers have said the safety of the trucks lay with the fleet owners who had signed contracts with NATO."
The Afghan government has learned the most important secret of war in modern times: sub it out, and blame the contractor.
BaldarTFlagass I was construction manager on a number of projects in Afghanistan back in 07-08, including a new Afghan Army Air Corps HQ/base on the north side of Kabul Int'l Airport. Because they were not locally procurable, we had to have some of the larger structural steel components (hangar roof trusses etc) manufactured in Turkey and trucked across Central Asia and through Afghanistan. A number of these trucks were hijacked by the Taliban on the road between Herat and Kandahar, and they would call up my contractor and offer to release the trucks for a sum of $$$, which we would not pay. On a couple of occasions we would receive reports that the bad guys were out on the side of the road cutting up the trusses with torches so they could sell the steel for scrap value. I could never understand why we couldn't just send in a couple of A-10s or F-16s to get their attention and maybe discourage this kind of behaviour, but it never happened. We did eventually manage to get the base built, but of course it was behind schedule and over budget (your tax dollars at work). Very frustrating.
V572625694 I heard a guy who was going to be commander of the Afghan district of the US Army Corps of Engineers speak a few years back. He said they'd found that Afghan recruits tended to desert after a few months because they couldn't bear to be away from their families. So he was going over there to build US-military-style family housing for the Afghan army. It's hard to even begin to understand how many things are wrong with that well-intentioned idea. At least it probably worked out okay for KBR, Louis Berger, etc. We build: they blow it up. We build more. How can this not succeed?
BaldarTFlagass Yeah, the recruit problem was pretty bad. Plus, these kids would come into the army having never seen running water or flush toilets or HVAC. They'd light fires in the corners of the barracks room for heat in winter. But the officers would want gold-plated faucets in their bathrooms. My takeaway after 4 years working in that part of the world is we should just stay the fuck away, those people aren't culturally adapted to democracy or indoor plumbing.
Our catchphrase was "We're building a new infrastructure for the Taliban." Which is exactly what will be the case after we leave.-
V572625694 An Afghan recruit in an American-run army would do about as well as I would if you plunked me down in the mountains in Afghanistan, told me, "You're a member of this tribe now, don't piss off the leader, do whatever he says, and no he doesn't speak English," and gave me a Koran and a prayer rug and said, "Okay kid, you're on your own! I'm sure you'll do fine, and you can eat whatever you kill!"
Bonzos_Bed_Time BP picked up on that pretty quick, too.
cheaphits This will work out soooo very well – the Taliban will join the government of President Hamid Karzai , NATO will withdraw, the Taliban will preempt Karzai and Afganistan will be right back where it started – only with more dead people.
Ruhe It's easy to see how a coalition Karzai/Taliban government will function. They will easily find compromises on all the important issues like education for girls, clean shaves for men, equality for women and porn for everyone. Karzai will push for these issues and the Taliban will assent under one condition: girls can go to school when they're dead; men can shave when they're dead; women can get jobs when they're dead and everybody can watch porn so long as they're already dead. No problem. Democracy works!
PsycWench So what, Jimmy Carter? 52% of the population said mean things about Dubya in 2001.
PsycWench I propose that Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton SHARE the vice-presidency for Obama's next term. According to countless TV sitcoms, this type of unlikely pairing should pay off in laughter and moments of mutual understanding, not unlike the Odd Couple, Sanford and Son or Bert and Ernie.
PuckStopsHere So much for wise Latino women. And, it appears, men also.
Sepatown! Today, we are all NATO fuel trucks.
JackDempsey1 re the pic:
the serving of unbuttered whole wheat toast is a White Glove Event? -
Terry Hillary would have to be crazy to swap jobs with Biden. What does a vice president do? Stand next to the president for photo ops? Be handy in case the president goes under anesthesia? Bang a gavel on Capitol Hill on occasion?
Steverino247 I don't know. It might be fun to hear Hillary say something was a "Big Fucking Deal" every now and then.
Cat_Damon "What does a vice president do?"
You've managed to answer this question on Wonkette better (and more correctly) than our most recent VP runner up. Congratulations. Now, how long does it take you to write Face book posts?
JMPEsq The Vice President can also actually secretly run the country while an ostensibly affable idiot acts as a figurehead (see: 1981-1989, 2001-2009).
MarieDeGournay I have never understood the 'I'm unhappy so I'm not voting fucking waa!!!" mentality. The fact that we have such low turnouts is the reason we have so many douches in Congress.
JMPEsq With the Taliban and the Karzai government joining together, they've married rigid hateful religious fundamentalism to raw overt political corruption. Bush must be so proud; he's created a country in his party's own image.
charlesdegoal The Taliban know which side their nan or doday is buttered. With the Karzais raking it in, no wonder they want a piece of the action. The problem is that the moolah is generated by the war against them, so that their current plan is self-defeating.
JMPEsq They can always go back to making money from Afghanistan's greatest natural resource, opium.
Bonzos_Bed_Time When did they stop?
kenlayisalive Yeah, I don't know why it is so hard to get though. I'd gladly be part of America's opium epidemic.
LionelHutzEsq The Taliban were Teabagging before Teabagging became popular.
Steverino247 Karzai's head would be on a stick within two weeks of a NATO withdrawal. Unless the peace deal includes the Taliban delivering the heads of Osama bin Laden and his merry band, it would be political suicide for Obama to have anything to do with it.

LionelHutzEsq The only thing standing in the way of Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton switching jobs in 2012 is that Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama are opposed to the idea. But other than that.
Wasn't this a plot for Three's Company back in the 70s? Except Jack and Chrissy were going to switch jobs?
SarcasticNymph There are also rumors that Karl Rove and Satan will swap jobs in 2012.
DemonicRage What are we doing in Afghanistan? The Taliban planned the 9/11 attacks there 9 years ago? That's why we're there? The Karzai government is so corrupt that there are 3 full pages in The New York Times today spelling out who in the Karzai family is getting all the money we are sending there, and the head of the Government, Big Mr. Senior Karzai, is supposedly bipolar? Why are we sending American men and women to die there? It's all over the Internet that the Pakistani government told the insurgents where to attack our troop convoys. You can go to the usual political news sites and see photos of our trucks in flames there. This is so pathetic!

text: TOP 10 Top 10 Fitness Top 10: Fitness Myths Back to Top ▲ Top 10: Fitness Myths 1 Crunches are the best way to get a six-pack Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares Thinkstock Everyone, from the average civilian to elite level athletes, has been fooled by the same misconception. Doing crunches and sit-ups is not the best way to get a six-pack. Having a visible six-pack is almost entirely a function of body fat and minimally a function of abdominal development. We all know the rail-thin guys that have a shredded midsection. Contrast the overwhelming majority of powerlifters who have insanely strong core muscles but don't sport a six-pack. Intuitively, we all know this, but when we start to feel saggy in the midsection, we go straight for the ab exercises. Contrary to popular belief, training a muscle group will not burn fat locally. This means that doing ab exercises won't burn fat from your midsection. Save yourself the wasted time and probable back pain -- the best way to get a six-pack involves making better dietary choices and doing high-intensity interval training.This article is sponsored in part by Shamrock Farms Rockin' Refuel (What's this?)

Children seem to have distinct temperaments almost from birth. Some are cheerful and easy to care for, whereas others are fussy and demanding. Researchers have identified many temperamental styles that emerge early in life and are relatively enduring, including general activity level, adaptability, persistence, adventurousness, shyness, inhibitedness, irritability, and distractibility. Most psychologists agree that such temperamental differences are biologically based and have genetic origins (Bates & Pettit, 2007; Caspi & Silva, 1995; Kagan & Snidman, 2007; M. Pfeifer, Goldsmith, Davidson, & Rickman, 2002; A. Thomas & Chess, 1977).
Genetic differences in temperament are only predispositions to behave in certain ways, however, and environmental conditions may point different children with the same predisposition in somewhat different directions (Keogh, 2003; R. A. Thompson, 1998). One influential environmental factor is the parenting style that mothers, fathers, and other primary caregivers use in raising children. In mainstream Western culture the ideal situation seems to be authoritative parenting, which combines affection and respect for children with reasonable restrictions on behavior. Authoritative parents provide a loving and supportive home, hold high expectations and standards for performance, explain why behaviors are or are not acceptable, enforce household rules consistently, include children in decision making, and provide age-appropriate opportunities for autonomy. Children from authoritative homes tend to be happy, energetic, self-confident, and likeable. They make friends easily and show self-control and concern for the rights and needs of others. Children of authoritative parents appear well adjusted, in part, because their behavior fits well with the values espoused by mainstream Western culture. They listen respectfully to others, can follow rules by the time they reach school age, are relatively independent and self-regulating, and strive for academic achievement (Barber, Stolz, & Olsen, 2005; Baumrind, 1989, 1991; Gonzalez & Wolters, 2005; Gray & Steinberg, 1999; Maccoby & Martin, 1983; J. M. T. Walker & Hoover-Dempsey, 2006).
Authoritative parenting is not universally "best," however. Certain other parenting styles may be better suited to particular cultures and environments. For instance, in authoritarian parenting, parents expect complete and immediate compliance; they neither negotiate expectations nor provide reasons for their requests. In many Asian American and Hispanic families, high demands for obedience are made within the context of close, supportive parent–child relationships. Underlying the "control" message is a more important message: "I love you and want you to do well, but it is equally important that you act for the good of the family and community" (Chao, 2000; Halgunseth, Ispa, & Rudy, 2006; Rothbaum & Trommsdorff, 2007). Authoritarian parenting is also more common in impoverished economic environments. When families live in low-income, inner-city neighborhoods where danger potentially lurks around every corner, parents may better serve their children by being very strict and directive about activities (Hale-Benson, 1986; McLoyd, 1998). In any case, keep in mind that parenting styles have, at most, only a moderate influence on children's personalities (W. A. Collins, Maccoby, Steinberg, Hetherington, & Bornstein, 2000; Weiss & Schwarz, 1996). Many children and adolescents thrive despite their caregivers' diverse parenting styles, provided that those caregivers aren't severely neglectful or abusive (J. R. Harris, 1995, 1998; Lykken, 1997; Scarr, 1992).

Man Denies Connection To Bitcoin, Flees Reporters

"Newsweek" magazine reported Thursday that physicist Dorian Nakamoto is the computer coder who invented the currency and the software that supports it. Looking to avoid the media frenzy that followed, the former defense industry and U.S government employee sparked a car chase through Los Angeles as he tried to escape reporters.

The leaves on my potted Calamondon orange have been turning yellowish all summer. I was advised to try flushing the soil. Now I have tiny mushrooms popping up. Have I killed it? It is absolutely loaded with blossoms, but I think I have to pull it out of the pot and let it dry out. Have any of you encountered anything like this? Do you think it is salvagable? |

is it inside? outside? greenhouse? yellowish leaves usually mean lack of nitrogen. how often did you fertilize and what type of fertilizer? flushing the potting mix every once in a while is a good thing, but this late in the season way up north where there is less sun and cooler temps, is not an ideal time to flush, as it completely saturates the potting mix. if your tree is inside, use an oscillating fan to provide some air circulation, it might help with the evaporation process. |
Potting mixes commonly grow mushrooms, especially those which are peat based. In most instances, these mushrooms pose no problem. However, the fact that you've been having problems for some time is telling. I suspect that you are using a medium that isn't porous and fast draining enough. What do these mushrooms look like? How long has the plant been in this container? When was the last time you changed the potting soil? A porous potting medium can be drenched without fear of waterlogging. |

I logged into HBT just 3 minutes or so ago, and saw that I had a private message. "Ohh" my mind went, wondering what it could be. Well, TxBrew sent me a message saying that until next Monday a year membership will be just $20. Well, I have been thinking about getting a membership for awhile, you know, just to give back to the community here. The only problem is my extreme frugality. 20 bucks isn't really that much, but it is a full batch of beer. So this got me thinking. What are the benefits of being a member? Giving back to HBT is clearly number one More Private message space (doesn't really affect me) A picture to the left (which is actually pretty cool) No ads Gallery space What do you think? Should I do it? Are you going to do it? Have you done it?
I am happy being a member here. I use the site so much it seemed silly to me not to join. Plus I use a crap ton of gallery space.
Pondering too..... Access to politics and religeon forum would be good for me, but bad for everyone else there.
To me it's not really what I can gain so much as what I HAVE gained. This is what makes me pay for a membership. I think it's well worth the money to give back to a community that has helped me out countless times. If I wasn't so cheap I would shell out for a lifetime membership.
------- The universe is wider than our views of it. -Henry David Thoreau
After I'd used the site for a few months, and knew I was getting good information, I decided I would probably be staying here long term. At that point, it just seemed right to support the place. I do like having a picture though!
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)
I've never joined an internet forum that cost money. I always thought it a ridiculous idea. Then I came here. I'm on my second year subscription with money sitting in my HBT account for next July 11th.
I've even heard people discuss NOT getting the lifetime membership because they want to support each year... Yea that is my reason for only paying one year at a time!
On my second re-up. The wealth of shared knowledge is definately worth the cost of membership. There are also some othere added benefits of becoming a paid supporter that you will truly enjoy. Fork over the dough and prepare to spend a good day catching up on what you didn't even know existed.
~~~~ That's not a beer gut, it's a liquid grain storage facility!
I was just about ready to shell out for lifetime, and our roof started leaking Saturday. Maybe after the holidays. I agree, this is a wealth of info and much worth it.
Some online HBS offer discounts to HBT members too.

How much water(exactly)does this washer use per load? For some reason it's not mentioned in the owners manual and I can't get an answer from where I bought it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Gallons per fill is rarely stated nowadays. Per the model number, your machine dates to 2004. The serial number would clarify the year of manufacture. It's a typical direct-drive Whirlpool washer. I do find some info dating to the late 1980s and early 1990s that states between 17.3 and 21.7 gals for a full fill, depending on the capacity of the machine -- large or super. So a complete wash/rinse cycle may be on the order of 34.6 to 43.4 gallons, plus a couple more gals for the spray rinses. Depends on whether the tub design, load capacity, and max fill level remained consistent over the course of years. |
We had a direct-drive Whirlpool ca. 1995 that was the XL-capacity, before buying the FL last year. I always wondered how many gallons it used. Now I know I am definitely saving on water! Thank you for posting the info, @dadoes. |
The 18lb belt-drive models (until a revision on the tub size in the late 70s or early 80s reduced it a little) took much as 27 gallons for a full fill. The Perm Press cycle with two half-drain/refill cooldown sequences could pull more than 81 gallons total. |
27 galllon-fill is still a lot of water. I never used the Perm-Press, thank goodness, especially now that I know the water usage. I only used the Normal and Delicate cycles and adjusted water level as needed. |

Went to a seminar sponsored by a local real estate broker the other night which was about loans for investment real estate.
Kind of interesting about some of the programs, but they said that you have to have a contractor, and you can't do the work yourself. One person hinted that maybe the contractor could pay you back. Anybody have any experience with these programs? Is there too much red tape? |

Too many red flags. Why should a loan company tell you who to hire.Sounds like a sort of pyrmid from RE to loan to contractors. Would I do it? NO |
It doesn't sound to me as if the lender is telling you which contractor you have to hire, just that you do have to have a contractor involved. They are not going to lend money on a home that is to be rehabbed if they have no guarantee that the funds will actually go to the rehab. |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Fri, May 6, 11 at 13:05
I don't know of anybody, lender, Realtor, or title company, who would dare to recommend a contractor these days. The requirement to use a contractor is to prevent buyers from either trying to do the work themselves & doing it wrong or from not doing the work at all & pocketing the funds. |
- Posted by barbcollins (My Page) on Fri, May 6, 11 at 18:03
No they were not saying the name of a contractor, jut they were saying make sure "your contractor" is fully licensed and insured etc. So in our case we will have to have enough funds to cover the rehab. But ok, so just for the purchase of a house under Homepath or Homestyle is there a lot of red tape? These would only be Fannie Mae foreclosures. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 11 at 7:55
Marie-ndcal... you are both paranoid and completely wrong... I have investor clients that use this porogram quite often. It is a legitimate loan program. It is much like a construction loan. I have a 15 page pamphlet, (which will not copy and paste) that explains it all in laymen's talk. If you like, send me a PM and I can email it to you. After reading it, you will not have any questions on how this neat program works. |
- Posted by barbcollins (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 11 at 8:16
ncrealestateguy - I tried to send you a PM but couldn't find a link on your "My Page". I would love to see the information you have. Do you know of any programs that benefit people in our situtation. Those that are capable of doing the work themselves. I don't see anything wrong with "Sweat Equity". They also had a speaker who talked about self-directed IRA's but she said you can't even lift a hammer or it is a violation. No sweat equity allowed. |
Barb, the fact is that homeowners aren't licensed and don't have a track record to back up their skills and experience. A lender would be nuts to make a renovation loan based on homeowner's enthusiasm. There is nothing wrong with sweat equity, just don't expect a lender to finance it. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 11 at 11:58
Barb, What Terriks said. My email is email@example.com. I do know of people that have gotten a credit card that has 0% interest for 12 months. Put all of your rehab costs on this card and them pay it off before the interest kicks in. It alos looks good on your credit report. |
- Posted by barbcollins (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 11 at 13:59
Terriks - Yes, I see that point of view too. In our case DH is a licensed plumber, but still would not be allowed to do any work. So far we have just been buying and renovating with cash. Would just like to step things up a little on the next one. ncrealestateguy - Thanks I'll email you. |
terriks: "There is nothing wrong with sweat equity, just don't expect a lender to finance it." Interestingly enough, they do finance sweat equity with the HUD 203K's (which are PITA's on their own)...but they require one to factor in labor cost in case you can't complete the job. |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 11 at 11:43
just talked to a lender; you have to have a contractor. same reason, buyer might not do it right or might not do it at all. |

@UAB Blazers (7-13)
Saturday, January 28
Bartow Arena
Attendance: 4,023
East Carolina
Birmingham, AL (Sports Network) - Darrius Morrow led all scorers with 24 points as the East Carolina Pirates defeated the UAB Blazers 73-66 in Conference-USA action at Bartow Arena.
Morrow made good on 11-of-15 field goals for East Carolina (10-10, 1-6 C-USA) and fell just one point short of his season-high. Miguel Paul scored 14 points, Erin Straughn netted 13, and Maurice Kemp chipped in 12 for the Pirates, who snapped a six-game losing streak.
For UAB (7-13, 2-5), Cameron Moore tallied a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds while Preston Purifoy knocked down 17 points. Jekore Tyler scored 11 and Quincy Taylor added 10 for the Blazers, who have lost two of three.
East Carolina got out to a 36-26 lead after one half behind an impressive 63.6 percent from the floor while UAB connected on 47.8 percent of its field goals in the frame.
The Blazers improved their shooting to 51.6 percent after halftime, including 6-of-10 from three-point range, but could not cut into the lead thanks to continued great shooting from the Pirates, who knocked down 55 percent from the floor after the break.
East Carolina went 16-of-21 from the free-throw line while UAB went just 3- of-3.

It's Amazing! It's Terrible! The Story of 2012
2012 Year in Review By Christopher Campbell on December 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf there's one word I think of that's best tied to the story of film in 2012, it's "disappointing." That's not to say that 2012 was a disappointing year for movies. I don't know if it was the best in a while, as some of my fellow critics claim, but then I still haven't seen a lot of the "best" titles of the year. What I do know is that there were enough movies that really, really, really disappointed a lot of people, and so I feel like I heard — or read — the word "disappointing" more than any other. Whether it was a long-awaited prequel to a classic helmed by the original's director or the expected return to form for a filmmaker or a final installment of a much-worshipped superhero trilogy or a reboot of a beloved comic-based franchise or a new animated feature from a usually dependable studio, there were plenty of major releases that turned out to be less than satisfying. At least for some.

Drink Some Blood and Beer with the 'Dark Shadows' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on October 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFans of the original Dark Shadows television series may not have been wild about the Tim Burton big-screen adaptation of the story, but those who like Burton's many collaborations with Johnny Depp should be interested. Depp plays the legendary Barnabas Collins, who was turned into a vampire by a scorned witch. After returning home to his family home of Collinwood after being asleep for almost 200 years, he faces a new world of 1972 and his old adversary… in color! This vampire comedy hits Blu-ray and DVD this week, so you can check it out for better or for worse. At least you'll be seeing it in the appropriately-themed month of October, rather than when it hit theaters in May.
This Week In Discs: Downton Abbey Surprises, Dark Shadows Disappoints and the Sound of My Voice Escapes From The Hole
Features By Rob Hunter on October 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Sound of My Voice A filmmaking couple infiltrate a cult in search of the truth regarding its enigmatic leader Maggie (Brit Marling), but the longer they stay the more one of them comes to believe her claims. The situation grows more dangerous when Maggie makes a spectacular claim and asks one of them to kidnap a specific young girl. Marling co-wrote the film with director Zal Batmanglij, and they've created a thought provoking, suspenseful and often surprising indie that feels bigger than it is by virtue of the ideas at play. Marling also delivers a spectacularly charismatic performance that just may have viewers lining up for a sip of her Kool-Aid.
Movie News After Dark: Everyone is Still Obsessing on 'The Avengers' and Tim Burton Sucks
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 14, 2012 | Comments (4)What is Movie News After Dark? This week it's a series of second stringer fill-ins trying not to run things into the ground while regular columnist Neil Miller disappears for a while due to reasons both glamorous and mysterious (in true Lohan fashion, he's cited both "exhaustion" and "being dehydrated"). And today it's a laundry list of Internet people still crushing on Joss Whedon's superhero extravaganza, The Avengers, because Tim Burton's Dark Shadows shit the bed this weekend and we haven't had anything shiny to come along to steal away our fickle attentions yet. Let's get to it. The above image comes from an artist named Hannah, who has proven that her finger is firmly on the pulse of the Internet by paying tribute both to the death of beloved children's author Maurice Sendak as well as the work of beloved nerd-God Joss Whedon by mashing up Sendak's artistic style with the cast of The Avengers. Is cute, no?
Box Office: 'The Avengers' Makes a Billion Dollars; 'Dark Shadows' Makes Far Less
Box Office By Neil Miller on May 13, 2012 | Comments (3)Today's big story: Sure, The Avengers has made truck loads of money at the box office, but will The Dark Knight Rises make more? At least that's what I've gathered from checking in on Twitter while disposing of Woodchuck Cider bottles in between episodes of my usual Sunday Afternoon Top Gear Marathon. Upon further inspection, we'll come to note that Joss Whedon's high-flying superhero team-up movie netted a staggering $103.4 million in its second week of release, dwarfing the Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration Dark Shadows, which nostalgia-crawled its way to a $28 million dollar opening. As it turns out, the folks at Warner Bros. were hoping for something a little bit more.
Which Vintage Television Show Would You Bring Back as a Movie?
Features By Neil Miller on May 12, 2012 | Comments (14)They are building a moat, this machine of Hollywood. It surrounds the entirety of their kingdom of nostalgia. Beyond the moat is the land of original ideas, where great risks stalk drifters through forests of uncertainty. Inside the kingdom lies all the most familiar brands of yesteryear — the likes of The A-Team and Get Smart — all being mined for every bit of entertainment sheen they have left. There's no end to the vast array of stories already told, and no end in sight to Big Hollywood's desire to bring back those ghosts and parade them around on much bigger, pop-soundtracked stages. Clearly I've been reading too much George R.R. Martin lately, but the analogy fits. In recent years, the escalation of Hollywood's mining of great things of the past has been blinding. From rebirthing the eighties to checking back in with the stylish sixties, today's entertainment is all about nostalgia, done in earnest and frivolousness alike. And we seem to be eating it up, just as we may with Tim Burton's refitting of Dark Shadows, his trusty Johnny Depp adorning the posters and billboards. But even with righteous cynicism considered, there's always a little room for fun. And our goal this week on The Reject HQ Blog is to set a question to our roundtable of experts — which includes a few of our finest writers and you, the reader — is there a vintage television program (pre-1990, we'll say) that you'd love to see remade as a movie?

Review: 'Dark Shadows' Is Stale But Satisfying Thanks to Depp
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on May 11, 2012 | Comments (1)Dark Shadows, the old ABC gothic soap opera, is such natural material for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp that you almost wonder why they bothered. Of all the movies and TV shows to remake, it's perhaps the most logical choice for the men who brought us Beetlejuice and Captain Jack Sparrow, respectively, not to mention Edward Scissorhands and other offbeat luminaries in their partnership. Lighthearted macabre quirk is the tandem's specialty and the primary operating mode of their new movie, a visually-pleasing haunted house/vampire comedy. But even if Dark Shadows is a case of safe, smooth sailing for its makers, it's still far more spirited and thoughtfully made than most summer movie counterparts.
22 Things You May Not Have Known About 'Dark Shadows' Composer Danny Elfman
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on May 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWith Dark Shadows set to hit theaters this weekend, Warners hosted a small Q&A this past Tuesday to highlight what will be composer Danny Elfman and director Tim Burton's fourteenth film together. I am notorious for getting lost on studio lots (I once accidentally wandered into a background shot during the filming of Private Practice while looking for a screening room), but I was pleased (and relieved) when I arrived and realized this event was being held outside making it easy to find (although the long line of Elfman fans flanking the venue was also a pretty clear indicator). It was a nice change of pace to be outside on a warm afternoon and seemed to put everyone in a good mood. While the Q&A was moderated, the goal of the afternoon was primarily to open the floor up to the fans and have them ask the questions. This can be a precarious opportunity when the questions are unfiltered (and sometimes cringe worthy) as anyone who has attended a Q&A can attest to. However this afternoon the questions (save for a few – no, Oingo Boingo will not be getting back together) were incredibly thoughtful and interesting. Elfman noted that doing events like this are something he gladly takes time to do as he loves interacting with fans and this was clear as he took every question seriously and gave each person his undivided attention when answering. The event was also to commemorate the release of Elfman and Burton's 25th Anniversary […]
17 Things We Learned From the 'Edward Scissorhands' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on May 10, 2012 | Comments (5)If you've ever seen a Tim Burton movie, you know the guy is probably pretty awkward. At the very least, he's gotta be soft-spoken, right? Which begs the question, "How interesting can a Tim Burton-only commentary be?" Well, we're here to answer that very question with this week's Commentary Commentary. In honor of Dark Shadows, Burton's latest collaboration with Johnny Depp, we've decided to go back and delve into their first pairing, Edward Scissorhands. Burton took the commentary duties by his lonesome here, and I'm sure amid all the fumbling of words and general gracelessness there's enough to pack in here to hold our interest. At the very least it'll be an entertaining car wreck. So here, without further ado, is everything we learned about Edward Scissorhands from listening to its director, Tim Burton, speak on it. We didn't learn Tim Burton is a strange guy. We knew that one already.
Finally, readers, the summer movie season is upon us. So far this year has been solid, but sorely lacking in mega-blockbusters. John Carter did not deliver for the fifteen people who saw it and The Hunger Games, as successful and good as it was, wasn't an epic actioner or packed with real spectacle. Yet there's much promise in the action department for the summer of 2012, and it's starting off just right, with something we've all been anticipating. Hopefully the rest of the summer will follow that film's mighty lead…
Seth Grahame-Smith Wants Your Summer to Be Bloodier (and More Gothic)
Features By Jack Giroux on April 26, 2012 | Comments (7)Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter don't fit the bill of your average summer blockbuster. An adaptation of a slightly obscure soap opera about a vampire? We don't see those often enough in the summer season. A hard-R actioner featuring one of our greatest presidents shredding vampires to bits? That's another unheard of type summer tentpole. Although Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's names alone can create money out of thin air, Dark Shadows is not the sort of film we often see as a May release, and the same goes for June's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The man partly responsible for these two going-against-the-norm pictures is author/screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith. Grahame-Smith had to tackle some difficult tasks when it came to making these two projects – like making an accessible Dark Shadows film and adapting his own epic and tonally tricky novel, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Here's what Seth Grahame-Smith had to say about writing for the screen, the soap-operatic tone of Dark Shadows, and the straight-faced badassery of Abraham Lincoln slaying vampires:
'Beetlejuice 2′ Will Happen With the Right Script
Movie News By Jack Giroux on April 23, 2012 | Comments (1)Seth Grahame-Smith's unwritten Beetlejuice sequel is currently a big, fat maybe. As of right now, Smith has only gone as far to discuss the project with the studio, Tim Burton, and Michael Keaton, who all sound game, as long as one small little detail is taken care of: nailing the script. As I spoke to Smith yesterday, it was obvious he knew the stakes involved in doing a sequel to Burton's beloved classic. I mean, who on earth wants to be the guy responsible for making a lame Beetlejuice sequel? Obviously, Smith doesn't want that title. "When Warner Bros. first talked to me about it I said there needs to be two things to happen before I would even consider it," said Grahame-Smith. "For one, it couldn't be some kind of reboot or remake with a different actor playing Beetlejuice. I wasn't interested in that. I wanted actual Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice and an actual sequel to the movie. Two, I said I'd only do it if Tim gave it his blessing and guided the process. I got both of those things: Tim to say if there was a good enough script he would help with the development of it and I got Michael Keaton to say, if the script was good enough, he'd be open to doing it." He continued, "You know, what I keep telling people is I don't want to do it unless we're really sure that it's worthy. The original is one of my favorite movies, so I […]
Release Date Round-Up: 'The Dictator,' 'Ender's Game,' and 'Maleficent' Get Scheduled
Movie News By Kate Erbland on April 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf it's a Monday, Hollywood is cleaning out the refuse left over from the weekend – like a big old mess of release date announcements and changes! While scheduling shuffles and calendar mix-abouts might seem like the driest of movie news, they often can signal studio confidence (or not) in a film, which could in turn give us an idea of how excited (or, well, not) we should be for the final project. And, thankfully, today's announcements provide something for just about everyone. After the break, check out the newly-minted release dates for The Dictator, Ender's Game, and Maleficent, along with news of potential conflicts and expectations for the films. Get your tickets now?
9 'Dark Shadows' Character Posters Blend Hypercolors, Black and White Behind Johnny Depp and Friends
Movie Marketing By Scott Beggs on March 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt's a mystery why Tim Burton gets stuck in the black and white world from time to time because he's one of the few filmmakers who can make primary colors creepy. Apparently the marketing department for Dark Shadows is pretty good at it too. With Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz and more popping boldly into the foreground, these posters are a reminder of the idiosyncrasy inherent in some of Burton's filmmaking: vibrant grays and disturbing, bright colors. Check them out for yourself:
'Dark Shadows' Trailer Sees Johnny Depp Resisting The Advances of Eva Green
Movie News By Jack Giroux on March 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAlice in Wonderland tested my love for Tim Burton, a fandom I am fully aware is unpopular to have online nowadays. His Disney remake was garish, soulless, and calculative, all adjectives Burton's greatest critics have said of him before. Alice in Wonderland felt like Burton at his most bored and expected, with zero sense of passion on-screen. Yet, with the release of the first trailer of Dark Shadows finally online, it seems as if Burton is having actual fun. Check out the trailer below to see Burton's take on the material, including Johnny Depp turning down sex with Eva Green. Burton and company have had a tough time expressing the tone of the picture, but this trailer does it nicely: dark, tongue-in-cheek, and silly. Nothing about this screams "box-office smash!", but that same sentiment could be applied to most of Burton's hits.
Big Dog: 'Frankenweenie' to Release In IMAX
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFor a film that reportedly got a young Tim Burton fired from Disney, that same studio sure seems set on making Frankenweenie a big event film for them this autumn. Burton's film, an expanded version of his 1984 live-action short that apparently didn't go over so well the Disney honchos way back when, will now be getting an IMAX release on its already-announced wide release date of October 5. The film will be both the first black and white film and the first stop-motion animated picture to hit IMAX screens. Like Burton's original short, Frankenweenie is a family-friendly spin on Mary Shelley's classic novel "Frankenstein." In Burton's world, Victor Frankenstein isn't a doctor driven to extremes by his desire to reanimate the dead, however, he's just a kid who has lost his beloved pet dog Sparky. Young Victor takes it upon himself to bring Sparky back from the dead and some sweet and clever hijinks ensue. I don't think Sparky kills anyone, and I am pretty sure he's not concerned with learning to read, but who knows just how deeply Burton committed to his source material. Nathan showed us the teaser trailer for the film last week, and I'm still cooing over how perversely cute it looks (not to mention how cuddly Sparky, a dead animal brought back to life, appears to be). While I've never identified myself as a Tim Burton fan in the least, Frankenweenie looks to be both cute and clever, and I can't stop myself from […]
Movie News After Dark: Barnabas Collins, Project X, The Avengers, Goon and Behind The Raid: Redemption
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly collection of movie news, stories, articles, happenings and thingamajigs that is not interested in your excuses, just your unwavering loyalty. We begin tonight with a new look at Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows, courtesy of Hollywood Elsewhere's ability to scan a page of the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. It's quite retro, somewhat chic, a lot emo and… oh, those bangs. Depp truly does have a bit of a Nosferatu thing going on, which is refreshing. At least he doesn't sparkle.
The 52 Most Anticipated Movies of 2012
Cinematic Listology By FSR Staff on January 2, 2012 | Comments (33)It's already the second day of 2012, which means we'll all be sober within the next day or two. It also means that we can officially start looking (through blurry eyes) ahead to the future. A future of promise and potential. A future of hope. A future of tingling anticipation that the road stretched out in front of us that leads to the cinema will be paved with gold. Will there be piles of excrement along the way? Of course, but we don't know how many or how badly they'll tarnish our yellow-bricked roller coaster ride. All we can see from this far out is the shimmering wonder of movies to come – the vast unknown that looks wonderful (and might just live up to the hype). In past years (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011), we've gone with a fairly arbitrary count of 20-30 movies. This year, we decided to prove that there were 52 movies worth prematurely celebrating (even though what we found were many more). That's one for every week (even if there are some weeks with a few and some weeks with none at all). Regardless of the number, Rob Hunter, Neil Miller, Kate Erbland, Allison Loring, Landon Palmer, Brian Salisbury and Cole Abaius have joined forces to remind us all that there are a lot of great movies to hope for this year. Go grab a calendar and pencil in everything that gets your blood pressure up toward unsafe levels. It's going to be a busy, flick-filled […]
Shock Rocker Alice Cooper to Appear in Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows'
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 2, 2011 | Comments (1)Alice Cooper has long been considered one of the preeminent denizens of the dark. With his lifelong commitment to horror makeup, heavy metal music, and golf, it couldn't have happened any other way. So when director Tim Burton needed a music act to appear in his upcoming adaptation of the old, spooky soap Dark Shadows, Cooper seemed like an easy fit. Hero Complex reports that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is set for a cameo in the film where he will be performing his hit song 'No More Mr. Nice Guy.' The setup for the scene is that Johnny Depp's character, wealthy vampire Barnabas Collins, is throwing an elaborate ball at his palatial estate, and he hires Cooper to be the musical entertainment. To bring Collins's home to life, Burton and his crew have constructed an elaborate series of sets that includes a gothic mansion and a harbor city complete with piers and boats floating in an artificial ocean. Cooper was so impressed with what he saw that, while at a Universal Studios Halloween event, he opined, "They should take that set and make it a haunted house next year." He also had some kind words to say about Burton, and how he and the director relate to and understand one another very well, "Rock and horror and comedy work together, that's something I've known a long time and people like Rob Zombie know, and Burton knows that too … I just saw Final Destination 5 and I was […]

First Asean hit: "A Thai Love Song" (updated)
- Published: 12/02/2013 at 09:31 AM
- Online news:
A cross-cultural "Thai Love Song", featuring Malaysian singer Namewee, Thai locations and three regional languages is on its way to becoming Asean's first big hit with over 450,000 views on youtube in its first five days. (Includes video) Updated with message from Namewee!!
Please join us on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/bangkokpostlearning
"A Thai Love Song" has everything needed to make it a regional hit: an funny, easily understood love story, local languages and locations and an amusing look at local customs.
This just in: A message from Namewee, Wee Meng Chee:
"Thanks Terry! It's CNY so there you go! To all Thai people : 恭喜发财 กงสี่ฟาไฉ...ขอให้ร่ำรวย 万事如意 ว่านซื่อหยูอี้...สมความปรารถนา Namewee "V"

First Asean hit: "A Thai Love Song"
It might be the first Asean hit. "A Thai Love Song" by Malaysian artist Wee Meng Chee, better known as Namewee (My name is Wee), has quickly become a YouTube sensation since it was uploaded on February 7.
As of this morning, it had been viewed more than 450,000 times with about 9,600 likes and only 70 dislikes.
"A Thai Love Song" follows a formula that other Asean artists may want to emulate. It's funny. It is an easily understood cross-cultural love story told in three regional languages (with subtitles) and it was filmed in many popular Thai locations such as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Democracy Monument, Khao San Road and Hat Yai.
It is about a Malaysian man falling in love with a Thai woman. The man, played by 29-year-old Namewee himself, tries to win her heart by showing her that he is acquainted with the Thai culture, language and lifestyle.
Following a guidebook on winning the heart of a Thai woman, he tries, rather unsuccessfully, to woo the woman he fell in love with while walking outside the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
When the guidebook's tips fail, he angrily throws away the book (while seated next to the moat outside Chitralada Palace) and, in the funniest scene in the video, it lands at the feet of a monk.
Shocked, Namewee quickly apologises. When the monk sees the title of the book, he suggests, in Thai, that Namewee simply try to be himself.
Instant enlightenment. Namewee thanks the monk and rushes off.
Surprised, the monk says "You understand Thai?"
"Subtitles," replies the departing Namewee.

I guess i owe you a big apoligy. I just read on another forum that it is impolite to bump up an old message. I really did'nt know that. I frequently go back over old threads to see if i can learn something and if i find something that i think will interest others, i've been bumping it up. I really hope i did'nt upset anyone. I wont do it again.
I learn something everyday. I wish it were SPRING!!!!! It's cold outside!!!!

When I saw the title of this post, I thought I might get a scolding for bumping up a thread myself. lol I do it sometimes too. I can see where it would be annoying if someone did it too much but I think it's ok in general. If I search for a topic in a forum that I don't visit very often, I might post a reply that would bring an old post back to the top. There's nothing wrong with that. I think what they try to discourage, is people just typing the word "bump" or something similar every so often to get their post to come back to the top without actually posting a message. I'm sure you haven't done anything wrong Vickie. I need spring too. I'm tired of the cold and the snow flurries and really tired of having to thaw out my dogs' water. Maybe we should bump up a thread about the hot, dry July and August weather so I'll feel better about this cold. lol |
Thanks for the reasurance. The post was'nt directed to me. Just a general comment. Do'nt tempt me about bumping up a July thread Christie. LOL |
Bump away. it dosn't bother me either. I have three large dogs and those heated water bowels arn't big enough so I took a large styrafoam/plastic flower pot with no hole in the bottom and sat in inside the heated dish. I havn't had any ice. You do have to put some water in the heated dish for it to work though. Just an idea for you. It $10 or $15 for a heated dog water dish. |
Go for it. I have bumped up old threads on several occasions so I won't complain. James |
I actually like the practice on this Forum since it's a little slow sometimes of the year and may be I've missed it before. Bump on.. |

Author Christopher .WalkenPNW (2 years) One interesting theory I remember hearing is that large wars happen when there's essentially too many restless males in a population that aren't doing anything. Any animal population needs a large number of females to keep the population size stable, but the amount of males required is much less (which is why when you're hunting typically females are off limits). The recent recession has hit males a lot harder due to construction and manufacturing job loss so it may be possible a war is coming. Author MrCryospark (2 years) Are you saying that hasn't happened? It's a matter of degrees and perception. Author Nizar Abboud (2 years) I can see regional wars happening, but with many countries possessing nuclear capabilities it is hard to imagine WWIII. What may happen is internal strife in every region, or state. Then the larger powers will have to do deals based on proxy wars success. The Syrian conflict is an example. If it is going to threaten Gulf states, Turkey and Israel, then a deal could come into play to stop. If the West manages to topple the Syrian government, they will not be interested in a deal.

Author Roger Smith (2 years) Celente looks like a doll Author k91hugo (2 years) lol this is fearmongering guys....yes ww3 is possible but he is just preparing us like someone is preparing sheep for slaughter....there is no country in EU, in which are millions of people demonmstrating and here are no people without food. i live in EU. the problems are big but we have food, we have houses and in the streets are mainly students and young people without jobs. they are some thousands not millions. Author Suff (1 year) The reason for WW3 will be America not minding its own fucking business. Author Arkymidis (2 years) Continued. I would say there's a kind of duo-government in each country. The N.W.O. puppets are one government group, with one agenda... But, then there's the non-puppets, who are actually operating as the government of their country. And, those latter ones are not really as concerned with the whole plot of Europe to conquer all the world under Europe. Some want to themselves conquer. And, many are preparing to DEFEND, rather than conquer. Author SilverCoinNews (2 years) Really WW3 is going on right now? I haven't checked the news today.

Author SilverCoinNews (2 years) amazing comment, thank you. Author matisyahup613 (2 years) gerald celente has an impressive record of his predictions coming true. I'm definitely concerned about this. Author drkam6 (2 years) While all these things may indeed happen, JC keeps failing in his dates. I thought we'd already be in full civil wars, scavenging for food... as he predicted for 2012. Happy New Year. Author money man (2 years) We better not join any war.

Author Blaine Rouault (2 years) I think you're insights there are pretty close. Author Dahmian John (1 year) The downfall always comes once we start to think the learnings from history no longer apply e.g "This time it's different". The market will rally, the herd will respond, exponential growth will be achieved and then the fall. It will all begin when we hear "This time it's different".
