Brewers, Rox looking for reversal of fortunes
The Brewers and Rockies both went into last season expecting to make a pitch for division titles.
Their hopes were disarmed early.
Expectations for both teams were built around their rotations.
The rotations for both teams unraveled early.
Both teams are looking for a reversal of fortunes in 2013.
And it all starts on Monday. The Brewers host the Rockies on Opening Day at Miller Park at 1:10 p.m. CT.
With 162 games to play, there is no way to proclaim that Opening Day is a must-win, but for two teams looking to regain confidence in their rotations, the efforts of Monday's starting pitchers -- Yovani Gallardo for the Brewers and Jhoulys Chacin for the Rockies -- can provide a step in that direction.
"We are not in a position of rebuilding," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "We are in a position where we want to win. In [2011] the rotation was certainly why we won [the National League Central]. We only used six starters."
Not last year, when the Brewers were 83-79. They finished 14 games behind NL Central champion Cincinnati, and five back of St. Louis in the battle for the second NL Wild Card spot. The Brewers, however, weren't really a factor in the second half of the season. They were as many as 18 1/2 games out in August.
The Rockies, meanwhile, never made good on the expectations that they could contend in the NL West.
The only month the Rockies even had a winning record was August, when they were 16-13. But they went from 18 games out of first place in the NL West at the end of July to 20 games out at the end of August. They finished 30 games behind NL West champion San Francisco, 12 back of fourth-place San Diego.
Both teams downplay the idea that they were the only two teams in the big leagues last year -- and only the fifth and sixth teams in big league history -- to go a full season without having a pitcher throw a complete game.
What they cannot deny, however, is the impact the struggles of their rotations had on the season. The Rockies ranked last in the Major Leagues in innings pitched by the starting staff (765) and ERA (5.81). The Brewers' rotation was 11th in the NL in innings pitched (941 1/3) and ninth in ERA (3.99).
Gallardo was the one consistent in the Brewers' rotation, a big part of why he was named the team's Opening Day starter for the fourth consecutive season. Not only did he make all 33 of his scheduled starts last year, but he was 16-9 with a 3.66 ERA and the Brewers won 22 of his starts.
Roenicke is counting on the veteran leadership of Gallardo and newly acquired right-hander Kyle Loshe to stabilize an otherwise inexperienced rotation.
"It was pretty easy for me as a manager two years ago," Roenicke said. "Our starters went deep. The bullpen was set up to pitch when we wanted it to pitch. Last year was more of a test."
No team was more tested by its rotation last year than the Rockies. Jeff Francis led the Rockies in starts (24) and innings pitched (113), even though he didn't even join the team until June 9.
Chacin was a part of the season-opening rotation, but he had complained since late in the 2011 season about soreness in the upper part of his right arm. It wasn't until after the first month of last season that a specialist finally discovered a nerve disorder in Chacin's right chest area that was causing the aches in his biceps. He did return in August, providing optimism for 2013 when he went 3-2 with a 2.84 in nine starts.
Now he draws his first Opening Day assignment, hoping to set the tone early for a reversal from 2012.
"I believe the talent is there, I really do," said pitching coach Jim Wright of the rotation. "It's just a matter of putting it all together."
It starts with Chacin on Opening Day.
Rockies: 2013 could be it for Helton
Todd Helton has made no formal announcement, but this is expected to be his final season. Helton will be making his 16th consecutive Opening Day start for the Rockies. The only other player to start an Opening Day at first base for the Rockies was Andres Galarraga, who started the first five Opening Days in franchise history. Helton goes into the season the Rockies' all-time leader in games played (2,123), at-bats (7,565), runs scored (1,360), hits (2,420), doubles (570), total bases (4,124), home runs (354), RBIs (1,345) and walks (1,295).
Brewers: Crew has roster stability
The Brewers have only three potential free agents after this season, and only one, first baseman/right fielder Cory Hart, is a regular. Hart will open the season on the disabled list, recovering from knee surgery. The other two are left-handed reliever Mike Gonzalez and utility infielder Alex Gonzalez. They have key players under contract through at least 2015, including Lohse, signed through 2015; Aramis Ramirez, Rickie Weeks and Gallardo, each of whom has a contract with an option for 2015; Carlos Gomez, signed through 2016; catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who has an option for 2017, and left fielder Ryan Braun, whose contract runs through 2020 with an option for 2021. Among players on one-year contracts, John Axford won't be eligible for free agency until after 2016, Chris Narveson until after 2015, and Marco Estrada until after 2014.
Worth noting
• Troy Tulowitzki and Braun have played against each other since college, when Braun attended the University of Miami and Tulowitzki attended Long Beach State. They were both first-round picks in 2005, Braun going to Milwaukee with the fifth selection and Tulowitzki to Colorado two selections later. And Braun edged Tulowitzki by only two points for the 2007 NL Rookie of the Year Award.
• This is the second time the Rockies have opened a season at Miller Park. The Rockies beat the Brewers, 5-3, in 2010. The Rockies are 11-9 all-time on Opening Day, 6-6 when they open on the road. The Brewers are 23-20 with one tie on Opening Day, including 2-2 at Miller Park.
• The Brewers have lost the season opener the last four years -- 10-6 at San Francisco in 2009, 5-3 to the Rockies in '10, 7-6 at Cincinnati in '11, and 11-5 to St. Louis at Miller Park last year.

For more than twenty years, Barefoot Contessa, the acclaimed specialty food store, has been cooking and baking extraordinary dishes for enthusiastic customers in the Hamptons. For many of those years, people have tried to get the exuberant owner, Ina Garten, to share the secrets of her store. Finally, the energy and style that make Barefoot Contessa such a special place are shown here, with dozens of recipes and more than 160 breathtaking photographs, inThe Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.
Ina's most popular recipes use familiar ingredients, but they taste even better than you would expect. Her Pan-Fried Onion Dip is the real thing, with slowly car-amelized onions and fresh sour cream. Tomato soup is created from oven-roasted tomatoes and fresh basil to intensify the flavors. Meat loaf is as good as your grandmother's, but it's healthier because it's made with ground turkey and fresh herbs. The light and flaky Maple-Oatmeal Scones are baked with rolled oats, whole wheat, and real maple syrup. Now these and other famous Barefoot Contessa recipes can be prepared at home.
Ina says that before she owned a specialty food store she often spent a week making dinner for six friends. Her experience at Barefoot Contessa has given her hundreds of ideas for creating wonderful parties in a few hours. And they're all in this book. Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce can be stored overnight in the refrigerator and sauteed just before the guests arrive. Cheddar Corn Chowder can be made days ahead, reheated, and served with a salad and bread for a delicious autumn lunch. The ingredients for Grilled Salmon Salad can all be prepared ahead and tossed together before serving. The batter for the Raspberry Corn Muffins can be mixed a day before and popped into the oven just before breakfast.
Ina Garten teaches us how to entertain with style, simplicity, and a relaxed sense of fun. There are notes throughout the book for giving cocktail parties, lunches, and dinner parties where everything is done before the guests arrive. And there are easy instructions for creating gorgeous party platters that don't even require you to cook!
With Ina Garten and The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, you have the perfect recipe for hosting parties that are easy and fun for everyone--including the cook.
In 1978, Ina Garten left her job as a budget analyst in the White House to pursue her dream: operating a specialty food store in the Hamptons. Twenty years later, Barefoot Contessa is celebrated for its stylish charm as well as its delicious food. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York, and Southport, Connecticut, with her husband, Jeffrey.
i absolutely love this cookbook, and give it as a wedding gift each and every time !! it is colorful, informative and i have yet to prepare a recipe and not have it be outstanding. i have had great comments on the meatloaf, turkey basil sandwiches and split pea soup, among others...take your pick, you won't be disappointed!!
The service was great and I recieved my book in just a couple of days. However, I didn't really like the cookbook that much. I watch the cooking show for Barefoot Contessa on tv and I love her recipes. I didn't see any recipes in this book that I liked. Most of the time her recipes are quick and easy and something that a simple household would serve. In this book there is nothing that my family would like to eat. Perhaps the recipes that I want are in another one of her cookbooks.
All of Ina Garten Books are a joy to read and to use. I love reading about her community and her little hints here and there. I am from the East Coast, so many of her recipes bring back wonderful memories. None of the recipes are terribly difficult. Several friends recommended one or two of her books so I ended up buying them all.
Love the book...easy recipes and delicious to eat. I would recommend this to someone who is a beginner or someone who is advanced.
What a gorgeous cookbook! I bought this for my mom for Christmas and she is going to flip when she sees it. It is beautifully illustrated, has wonderful everday and special occasion recipes, and is a great gift for any woman on your list. Would be a perfect wedding gift as well!
I love this cookbook. Ina Garten's recipe are all very elegant, yet casual. The photos are amazing-which is a must for me in a good cookbook. Every meal I've made has been delicious, and now I'm going back to purchase every other cookbook she's ever done!
I just received this book and read it from cover to cover. The recipes are great and many have been shown on her Food Network show. I've already made the Cheddar Corn Chowder a few times and it was not only easy to make, but tasted awesome. I would highly recommend this book to anyone even those, like myself, who don't really like to cook but love to watch the shows and read the recipes. The Barefoot Contessa is an easy read and really motivates you to get up and cook!

I'm not feeling very well tonight and had visions of a fun writing session earlier today, but now I want to curl up and watch a movie.
Nellie has a little Valentine's birthday party tomorrow, so I had best finish this before the cupcake timer dings.
Wishing you all a weekend full of little happies.
Our happies:
Decorating our classroom Valentine box
The Blueberry Ceremony. She plucks and eats, plucks and eats.
Little Naughty sneaked in and stole the Fairy Garden dog
Mama finally got with the program and stepped up my job at home to reinforce the sight words
She is so hungry, hungry, hungry to learn. It's inspiring.
Swishy skirts, running feet
Nella just ran off with my phone, and I heard her push a bunch of numbers and someone said hello. She's babbling from the hallway, so this is my cue before international cell phone charges show up on our bill.
Find some ways to make people happy this weekend. You will, in turn, feel happy.

Hi Kelle
Am sitting here in beautiful manzanillo mexico and thinking about you and the upcoming birth of your baby. Im also thinking about you because my husband and I recently purchased a new slr canon rebel recommended by my photojournalist son and LOL we are both struggling to learn. But when I see your amazing photos that so beautifully capture "the moments" of your life I feel encouraged to lol keep reading the manual. Hoping to get the hang of it while here in mexico for the month. Such color, character and beauty here. And will be thinking of you and your family as you bring another baby into your beautiful blended family. Best wishes, k - February 10, 2013 at 9:44 AM

Hello everyone! So, this topic originally contained a form-fillable version of the official character sheet. I was and am happy to provide this to the community, and am glad that so many have viewed it and used it.
However, the user Caied has since improved vastly upon my design and I strongly encourage anyone to use that version instead. I will be using that version myself.
Here is a link to it, placed here because I have discovered this topic is getting linked to, and because I like the work that Caied did:

You are hereGeorgia Regresses: Drops E-Word
Georgia is in the process of revising its 1997 "Quality Control Curriculum" (QCC) science education standards. The previous standards received a grade of F on Dr. Lawrence Lerner's 2000 evaluation of science education standards produced for the Fordham Foundation. The earlier standards used the word "evolution," but according to Lerner, "not in a way that encourages clarification of its role in the life sciences." The New Creationism and Its Threat to Science Literacy and Education
Joel Cracraft's editorial "The New Creationism and Its Threat to Science Literacy and Education" appears in the January 2004 issue of BioScience, the journal of the American Institute of Biological Sciences. Cracraft, the president of AIBS, is also Curator-in-Charge of the Department of Ornithology at the American Museum of Natural History and a Supporter of NCSE.
Bill Requiring Equal Treatment of Intelligent Design and Evolution
A bill to be introduced in the current session of the Missouri General Assembly would require "the equal treatment of science instruction regarding evolution and intelligent design". House Bill 911 contains a long list of proposed definitions of terms and concepts such as "analogous naturalistic process", "biological intelligent design", "destiny", and "extrapolated radiometric data". Roseville Teachers Reject Antievolutionist Materials
Science teachers in the Roseville Joint Union High School District have told the district that they do not want to add antievolutionist materials to the district science curriculum, according to the Sacramento Bee (December 28, 2003). The materials, recommended by Larry Caldwell, a local parent, and Cornelius Hunter, author of Darwin's God and Darwin's Proof, included the videotape of Icons of Evolution. Grand Canyon National Park Embroiled in Creationism IssueIn August 2003, NCSE sponsored a raft trip down Grand Canyon. We then became aware that the Grand Canyon Association, a private nonprofit organized to benefit Grand Canyon National Park, was selling a creationist book in its bookstores. Pages |

Our Mission
The Museum of the City of New York celebrates and interprets the city, educating the public about its distinctive character, especially its heritage of diversity, opportunity, and perpetual transformation. Founded in 1923 as a private, nonprofit corporation, the Museum connects the past, present, and future of New York City. It serves the people of New York and visitors from around the world through exhibitions, school and public programs, publications, and collections.
Our History
The Museum of the City of New York was founded in 1923 by Henry Collins Brown, a Scottish-born writer with a vision for a populist approach to the city. The Museum was originally housed in Gracie Mansion, the future residence of the Mayor of New York. Hardinge Scholle succeeded Henry Brown in 1926 and began planning a new home for the Museum. The City offered land on Fifth Avenue on 103rd-104th Streets and construction for Joseph H. Freedlander's Georgian Colonial-Revival design for the building started in 1929 and was completed in 1932. During the next few decades, the Museum amassed a considerable collection of exceptional items, including several of Eugene O'Neill's handwritten manuscripts, a complete room of Duncan Phyfe furniture, 412 glass negatives taken by Jacob Riis and donated by his son, a man's suit worn to George Washington's Inaugural Ball, and the Carrie Walter Stettheimer dollhouse, which contains a miniature work by Marcel Duchamp. Today the Museum's collection contains approximately 750,000 objects, including prints, photographs, decorative arts, costumes, paintings, sculpture, toys, and theatrical memorabilia.

Associate Professor of Politics
Democracy & DemocratizationAfrican PoliticsApproaching Political PuzzlesPolitics of Global InequalityInternational Political Economy
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and always thought I wanted to be a teacher. In college I realized that I was fascinated by the developing world, so I joined the Peace Corps and spent two years in Cote d'Ivoire. It was a transformative experience and led me to graduate study in Political Science, focused on questions of democratization and development in Africa. After earning my Ph.D. from Washington University I was awarded a Carnegie Mellon Fellowship from Brandeis University, and joined Earlham's Politics Department in 2008. I teach courses in the subfield of Comparative Politics, seeking answers to questions about why some countries transition to democracy or are systematically able to improve the lives of their populations. I love the mix of academic excellence and international awareness on this campus, and have had the privilege to publish a recent article in Citizenship Studies with several student co-authors. In addition to my substantive academic areas of interest, I teach research design and I have actively encouraged my students to pursue ambitious research projects and present them in professional settings such as the Midwest Political Science Association conference held annually in Chicago.
"Is Citizenship the Key to Peace and Democracy in Africa?" In progress.

Quick install and ready to go. Makes the yard look great when I procrastinate cutting grass (or rain won't let me). When not in use I can easily take it off and forget it, it's tough enough to stay outside with not having to worry about rot or sun.

This thing costs almost $300, and it just strapped on to the mower. I have the lts2000 and i cannot fully fit it to the mower deck.
via sears.com
I recently purchased a house with 3/4 acre of grass, trees etc. I bought the riding lawnmower from the previous owner for $200.00 so buying this still was cheaper than if I had purchased a new one so I thought why not. Even tho it was 150% more than the actual mower. 1st off, it comes with 4 threaded bolts that seem to be for hanging the bagging system yet the lawnmower holes there don't have threads and so it is of no good. I used to the (2) silver bolts and nuts that came with it and put them diagonally in 2 of the holes and then used a strap to keep it tight. I found the rest of the device to go together fast however the plastic of the bins seem cheap and don't really lock in place very well. The back of the property that has field grass (thicker blades) just clogged the pipe. I am not sure if it would work if I was cutting less grass height and so I will try that later. I was only cutting about 2" off. The back yard close to the house has a thinner grass and that seemed to work ok. So in reality, when it clogs it just helps become a mulcher and not a bagger unless the grass is probably dry or thin and you don't cut very much off of it. Which of course is not my intent as I don't want a bunch of thatch and want nice thick grass. I will probably give it a couple more go rounds and see if it performs better before considering returning it

I purchased a Craftsman tractor on July 23 and I like the tractor but has far as the bagger it is a piece of junk.The one I had for my old tractor is similar to the one pictured on this page. I could not put the pin into the bracket that it was supposed to go into.This is a horrible thing to have to pay nearly 300 dollars.As I said tis a piece of junk!

Your doctor will clean the area where the needle will be inserted. Next, a needle attached to a syringe will be inserted into the fluid-filled joint cavity. Your doctor will draw the fluid into the syringe. After this, the doctor may take the syringe off and inject some medicine into the joint through the needle. After the needle is removed, the doctor will put pressure on the spot over the joint. A bandage will be placed over the area.

Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend — not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world.

Collagen injection is a procedure used to fill wrinkles, plump lips, and improve skin appearance. Collagen is injected under the skin with a fine needle.
Collagen is a natural protein that supports the skin and other areas of the body. It may be taken from an animal like a cow or pig or from the patient's own tissue. Collagen is one of several filler options available.
Collagen injection is an elective, cosmetic procedure. This means that the patient requests to have a procedure which is not medically necessary. It is done to:
Collagen injection may be used to fill in wrinkles near the nose, mouth, and forehead.

You will need a trained specialist such as a dermatologist or a facial or general plastic surgeon. Treatments are often successful and results are seen right away. Results are temporary, lasting six months or more.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have collagen injections, your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the collagen injections.
Before the test your doctor will:
Before the procedure, you will:
Local or topical anesthesia, such as ointment or ice, may be used. A nerve block is often used for lip injections. This type of anesthesia blocks the nerves responsible for pain.
Pen marks may be made on the areas to be targeted. Your face will be cleaned and prepared with an antibacterial cleanser. Local or topical anesthesia will be given to numb the area. For small areas, a topical cream or ice is used.
There are different ways to inject the collagen:
The procedure is often repeated in deeper areas.
The procedure may take only a few minutes or longer depending on the areas injected. You will be able to go home after the procedure.
Anesthesia can block pain and discomfort. Some have the procedure without anesthesia, but the injection is painful.
Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain and swelling after the procedure.

From the Han nation to the Chinese people.
Politically, it is undeniable that the Han nation has perished several times at the hands of conquerors from the north. The problem is then how, in the midst of this political subjugation, the Han nation remained as a nation; not how the nation warded off those military disasters as Christendom stopped the advance of the Moslems at the battle of Tours, but how it survived those military disasters and, in fact, profited from them by the infusion of new blood, without losing its racial individuality or cultural continuity. The Han national life it seems was organized on such a pattern that the loss of the pristine vigor did not mean the loss of racial stamina and power for resistance. The key to this racial stamina and power for resistance is the key for the China's survival.
Historically, the infusion of the new blood occurs with such a striking regularity, at the interval of every eight hundred years, as Dr. J.S. Lee the author of the book ' The periodic recurrence 0f internecine Wars in China' pointed out. And the making of the nation is so unfolded out that rather than extinction or disintegration of the Han nation, all residents sharing the same territory have formed the Chinese nationality.
Right now, all 56 ethnic groups of people in China are marching forward on their route toward modernization and urbanization. Thanks to the reform and open-door policy, they are learning lessons from the rest of the world without fear of any foreign invasion the same time enjoying the infusion of the new blood through cultural communications and economic transactions. With wisdoms borrowed from Confucius, Lao Tzu and Buddha as well as Mo Tzu, Sun Tzu, ( in history, there is not only just one strategist like Sun Tzu), the Chinese people as a whole can and will accomplish whatever the other nations have accomplished in process of industrialization on earth and distinguish themselves on the oriental horizon.
Scholars from the west are welcomed to research or comment on China, its past and present but never try to instruct what and how the Chinese people should do to make a better tomorrow for themselves.
I agree.
Scholars from China are "welcomed" to research or comment on Tibetans, Uyghurs, Jingpho's, Yi's, Dai, Burmese, Cambodians, Laotians, .... their past and present but never try to instruct what and how these non-Han-Chinese people should do to make a better tomorrow for themselves.
Parrots are 'welcomed' to research or comment on what has been put forward on this TE article.

For that you have to tell Uncle. It is Uncle, not the Chinese, who wants to "Make the world like us"!

The Chinese of course, are having a Schadenfreude moment. They want to divide and conquer Burma. Let the barbarians fight each other as Sun-Tzu would say!]
It is the Economist that is "having a Schadenfreude moment" on Burma with this article. Yet again, you are blaming the Chinese for it. Do you have to "KNOW YOUR PLACE" in front of the whites? Can't you have some backbone? moe sung has a lot of backbone. Learn some lessons from him!

...If Burma is so rich in natural resources, the Burmese people should profit from it too (like the Arabs) and if Burma does not have any natural resources, then what are the Chinese doing there? Of course, nations are selfish and countries try to maximise their benefits and exploit others, but then China should not be too sensitive if the exploited people start complaining. Burmese also have a right to look after their own interests. All human beings are created equal and no one likes arrogant bullies (Germany tried that a few decades ago).]
You hate the Chinese not because they take Burma's resource but because they are Chinese. After all, unlike the Western colonialists, China pays for the resources it gets with real goods and services. Even if it were Uncle who take Burma's wealth, you would still blame China and the Chinese for it-- Like you have done in other circumstances:
{[tocharian May 11th, 06:37
Corruption, Coercion and Control is how China has been ruled for millennia and the majority of the Han Chinese seem to really believe that this Chinese way of governance is a deeply imbedded characteristic of Chinese Confucian culture and hence (by default) far superior to the more "chaotic" Hans-Solo-style Western political ideas of "freedom, dignity and sanctity of the individual human being".]
The Chinese do NOT believe their 'Confucian culture' is 'far superior to the more "chaotic" Hans-Solo-style Western political ideas'. That is why they do NOT try to impose their social values on Western societies.
It is the imperialist West that believe THEIR Western culture is "far superior" to other cultures. That is why they go around the world kicking arses in order to impose their system on the rest of the world.
Can't you be honest for once in your entire miserable life???}
{tocharianMay 27th, 17:23
[ This "new G2 world order" that the US wants to create with China is extremely fishy and precarious. This neo-liberal thinking about "we are all friends" and the whole world will converge to equality, liberty and fraternity (and Wall Street) is a dangerous "Fata Morgana". It is not going to happen in China and a few other countries, because China basically wants to defeat the US to become the single dominating superpower and many Chinese (even amongst those that live or study in the West and hold American passports) are brainwashed into believing that this is China's "manifest destiny" given their "2,000 years of culture and world-domination (with a few breaks)".]
It was the neo-cons, not the Chinese communists, who said something like "We will not again allow a peer competitor to emerge"-- In order to remain "the single dominating superpower" in this world. Even some non-whites, who instinctively know their places in front of the whites (like tocharian does), "are brainwashed into believing that" this is the "manifest destiny" all non-white peoples.
Again, can't you be honest for once in the whole of your miserable life?}
Yet again, can't you be honest for once in the whole of your miserable life?
[By the way, at the personal level, I have been dealing with Chinese people almost all my life, not just in Burma. It doesn't matter where I live, I see them almost everyday. I never had any problems with most of them (of course, there are always a few unpleasant people everywhere)]
There is certainly a very "unpleasant" Burmese "professor" on the Economist forum here.

The return of Snipes is a great thing. Gallowwalkers doesn't look like a great flick, but I will check it out for general badasserry.
Welcome to an all new edition of Mania's Tuesday Terrors. Here is all the horror you'll need to get through the week. First up...
The BBC's In the Flesh Trailer. Zombies are a hot commodity thanks to The Walking Dead and now the BBC is jumping on the bandwagon. BBC Three is going to fill the horror void when Being Human ends with a new zombie series called In the Flesh. The tale is set in the wake of a zombie apocalypse (naturally) and will be seen through the eyes of one of the undead.
According to its creator, Dominic Mitchell: "I want it to be for a really wide audience and to talk about real issues, real family issues, real domestic issues, and we play with the zombie methodology. We do have a few scenes of real great zombie genre stuff, but then you have a scene where it's really domestic and they're sitting around the table just trying to be a family again, and that's what I really wanted it to do. So, your Grandma can watch it, hopefully, and really enjoy it, and it can speak to her as well as speak to the teenage zombie horror fan."
Takashi Shimizu's Tormented coming to DVD and Blu-ray April 2. Daigo doesn't speak anymore. Not since he killed that rabbit on the playground at school. His sister, Kiriko, is worried. He's bullied. He sleepwalks. And their father is no help, trapped in his own grief and illustrating fantasy worlds where families are happily reunited and no one dies. They never should have gone to that 3D movie. The one with the stuffed rabbit that floated out of the screen. Now Daigo is missing. He's in danger, and Kiriko will have to follow him into a world of nightmares to discover the truth. And the truth is worse than any dream. From WellGo USA Entertainment.
Roth reveals details on Ti West's The Sacrament. Producer Eli Roth revealed a few details on the Ti West directed film, "The Sacrement" in a recent interview. Said Roth, "I'm now producing a film called The Sacrament that Ti West produced and directed. He made a terrific film called House of the Devil, and had a great idea about a found footage docu-style horror movie set it a Jonestown type cult where we watch a mass suicide begin and the film makers are trapped inside. It's really, really scary."
The Sacrament stars Joe Swanberg (V/H/S), AJ Bowen (The House of the Devil), Kentucker Audley (V/H/S), Amy Seimetz (Tiny Furniture), and Gene Jones (No Country for Old Men). Release information is not yet available.
Sideshow's 1/6th scale Joker Figure. Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents the first entry in their much anticipated DC Comics Sixth Scale collection, The Joker.
Inspired by classic comic portrayals, including his 1988 appearance in the fan favorite, The Killing Joke, The Joker Sixth Scale figure was designed and crafted with Sideshow's trademark attention to detail. Two heads are included, each capturing different eerie and unsettling expressions of the Clown Prince of Crime's deranged deviousness. Clothed in a perfectly plum, impeccably tailored and trademark suit, and accompanied by a vast array of diabolical accessories, Batman's arch rival is ready to wreak havoc and mayhem on the citizens of Gotham City.
The Joker Sixth Scale Figure features:
Two (2) Hand Painted Joker Head Sculpts
Playing Cards
Straight Razor
Revolver with 'BANG!' flag
Tailored Fabric Costume Includes: Pants, Vest, Shirt, Tuxedo Coat with Tails, Trench Coat, Argyle Socks, and White Spats

Stitches Debuts on Blu-ray and DVD April 2. World renowned British standup comedian Ross Noble stars as a murderous kids' birthday party clown for Director Conor McMahon (Dead Meat, The Disturbed) in Stitches, debuting with special April Fools' Day screenings in select cities on April 1, 2013. For fans who can't catch the rampage on the big screen, Stitches will be available on VOD, Digital Download, Blu-ray, and DVD on April 2 from MPI /Dark Sky Films.
Years after a cruel kids' prank during a birthday party for 8-year-old Tommy (Tommy Knight, Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures) left hired clown Richard "Stitches" Grindle (Ross Noble) dead on the kitchen floor, the childhood friends gather to plan a birthday bash to end all bashes. But they haven't counted on the degenerate jester rising from the grave to seek vengeance on the children who mocked him and caused his grisly, untimely end.
Now Tommy and his teenage friends are on the run from an undead jokester who's ready to use every trick in the book (and many that aren't) to exact his revenge. Dead Meat writer-director Conor McMahon delivers a delirious slasher epic, a hilariously twisted and blood-soaked tale of one very bad clown with a talent for making balloon animals – but with one very hideous difference.
New Trailer for 6 Souls. After the death of her husband, Dr. Cara Harding's (Julianne Moore) faith in God has been shaken, but not her belief in science. In an attempt to open her up to accepting unexplainable psychiatric theories, her father introduces her to Adam, a patient with multiple personalities who takes on some of the physical characteristics of his other personalities. Cara quickly discovers that Adam's other personalities are murder victims and the more she finds out about him and his past, the closer she and her loved ones are to becoming murder victims themselves.
Official Trailer for The Silence. The Silence begins 23 years ago on a hot summer day, when a young girl named Pia is brutally murdered in a field of wheat. Now, on the exact same date in the present, 13-year-old Sinikka is missing, her bicycle abandoned in the same spot. As Krischan, the retired investigator of the unresolved case, and his younger colleague David struggle to solve the mystery of these parallel crimes, Sinikka's distraught parents are trapped in an agonizing period of waiting and uncertainty. Meanwhile, their daughter's fate rips open old wounds in the heart of Pia's mother, who is visited by an unexpected guest with an eerie connection to her daughter. The unrelenting summer heat lies over the quaint family homes like a bell jar and behind closed doors, worlds begin to fall apart. In theaters March 8.
Official Trailer for Come Out and Play. In Come Out and Play, Beth (Vinessa Shaw, 3:10 To Yuma) and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Damages), a happy young couple expecting their first child, have come to Mexico for a romantic getaway. Francis insists on venturing by boat to a more serene locale, Beth hesitantly agrees. As they dock on a sun-kissed beach where children are playing and giggling, everything seems perfect at first. But as they wander the strangely empty streets, an atmosphere of unease sets in: an abandoned hotel, a distress call that repeatedly echoes from a radio set, the sense of being watched…the sound of children's laughter drifting through the streets, but no adults in sight.
When Francis witnesses the violent death of an old man (Daniel Giménez Cacho, Bad Education) at the hands of a smiling little girl, a day in paradise quickly turns into a struggle for survival. Francis must protect his very pregnant wife from a pack of murderous children and get the couple off the island alive. An unsettling theme drives the starkly simple plot of COME OUT AND PLAY, Belarus-born filmmaker Makinov's horror production based on Juan José Plan's 1976 Spanish horror classic, El Juego De Niños. In select theaters March 22 and on VOD now.

Horror Comics in Black and White book review (McFarland & Co. Publishers)
Grade: A-
With all due respect to EC Comics and the other horror comics of the pre-code comic book era of the 1950s, there was simply nothing like the black and white comic book magazines of the 1960s and 1970s. This new book from McFarland provides both a history and catalog of those great magazines produced by companies such as Warren, Skywald, Marvel, and others.
Artist Stephen Bissette, a monster kid himself, provides the foreword to the book and talks about discovering these great magazines, and in particular the two Warren mags, Eerie and Creepy. His story could be told by any of us who grew up in the 60s or the 70s at the height of the popularity for these black & white mags. Because they were magazines and NOT comics, they did not fall under the authority of the comics code and thus could feature as much blood, gore, and terror as you could pack in their pages.
Author Richard J. Arndt traces the history of these comics from the first issue of Creepy in 1964. While the history runs right up to modern black and white mags, every fan knows that the real meat came in the 60s and 70s. Arndt gives an issue by issue breakdown of the major mags, providing the issue number, publication date, cover artist, story titles and artist/writer credits, as well as miscellaneous notes on each issue such as changes in pricing, page count, and other anecdotes on story and art.
Over half the book's 290 page count is dedicated towards coverage of Warren's magazines which might seem like a lot but also accurately reflects Warren's dominance of the market. Skywald (the most underrated mag publisher) and Marvel also get their own chapters. Marvel fully embraced the black & white magazine concept with titles like Tomb of Dracula, Haunt of Horror, Monsters Unleashed, Tales of the Zombie, Vampire Tales, and many others. The next chapter covers smaller publishers like Major, Atlas/Seaboard, Quality and others before covering more modern day titles published by companies like Dark Horse and IDW.
The author notes that the publications of companies like Eerie (not to be confused with the Warren magazine) are not included as they published primarily reprint material from the 1950s. Eerie put out titles like Witches' Tales, Terror Tales, Tales of Voodoo, and others from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. It's disappointing that he chose not to include those. While they may have been reprints, they were still quality stories that likely no one in the 1970s had seen before anyway. Plus their titles featured some of the goriest covers ever, far more so than Warren. The content from the more modern era is so slight that its inclusion is a bit pointless. Better to have included the Eerie material but overall this is a great book and if you are a collector or thinking about collecting these mags this would be an indispensable resource.
Spiders DVD Review (Millennium Entertainment)
Grade: D+
Films featuring giant rampaging bugs have been a staple in American cinema since the 1950s. Playing on the paranoid, Cold War era of the time these creatures were often the result of nuclear testing gone awry. But most of these films, certainly the best ones, were campy at their cores and they knew it. This made them fun then and most of them remain so today. We get no such campy fun in Spiders. This disheveled bore-fest starts with a ridiculous premise and ends with a silly mess of a military vs. giant spider battle that makes you long for the days of films like 1955's Tarantula.
A Russian satellite, launched in the 1980s and filled with venomous spiders is struck by a meteor which sends it crashing into the New York City subway. But how a satellite filled with spiders managed to survive close to 30 years in space isn't nearly as silly as why they were put there to begin with. Soon dozens of little spiders are crawling around and chasing the rats out of the subway and into the streets. The section of the city where the satellite crashed is quarantined by the U.S. military under the false story of a viral outbreak.
In reality the military, led by Colonel Jenkins (William Hope of Aliens), is working with a Russian scientist to harvest the eggs of the spiders, in particular the Queen. Seems the Russians discovered an extra-terrestrial craft in the 1980s and spliced alien DNA with that of a spider and launched them into orbit because apparently the lack of gravity makes them grow when they return or some such hooey. In any case the queen is capable of spinning an "infinite" amount of silk that is stronger than the most durable Kevlar and also provide stealth abilities. Now this is never touched on again in the film and in fact on several occasions we see characters easily cut through the silk.
Trapped within the quarantined area is the daughter of Jason and Rachel Cole. He is a supervisor with the Transit Authority and she is a doctor with the Health Department. As they try to sneak through the barriers to get through to their daughter, the spiders soon grow to massive sizes, quickly over-running the soldiers. The queen grows even larger, Several stories tall and long as she rampages through the streets battling the army.
Part of what made those 1950s fun was that the plots were simple. Radioactivity turns bugs big…bugs go on a rampage…military kills bugs. But Spiders mucks up that simple notion with all this silliness about alien DNA and super silk. It's blatantly obvious the film was shot on some studio back lot. Even though the military has quarantined several blocks the only resident seems to be the Cole's daughter. The actors look downright embarrassed and bored to be in the production. The CGI is the kind of quality you'd expect to find in the average SyFy channel production, i.e., bad! For some reason the spiders seem to have these almost cartoonish faces on them. And while the Army throws everything they have at the Queen including helicopter gunships, tanks, bazooka's and dozens of soldiers with armored weapons, they don't make a dent yet Jason Cole is able to fend her off at one point armed with nothing other than a pole. The giant spider film makes one giant splat!

The return of Snipes is a great thing. Gallowwalkers doesn't look like a great flick, but I will check it out for general badasserry.
A zombie show my grandma could watch?
Yeah...how am I suppose to take this show seriously now....
Why is it when a new zombie, vampire or whatever movie comes out it's called jumping on the bandwagon but if there's a new cop show or movie out it's never referred to that? And there are a slew more more of the latter than the former.
