'Suspiria' Remake Signs Cast
'The Pineapple Express' director David Gordon takes the reins with Isabelle Fuhrman playing Suzy Banyon
"The Hunger Games" actress Isabelle Fuhrman will take the lead role of Suzy Banyon in Crime Scene Pictures' remake of Dario Argento's 1977 cult hit "Suspiria."
David Gordon Green ("The Pineapple Express") is set to direct the witch tale, which he co-wrote with Chris Gebert. It begins production in September for a 2013 release.
In addition to Fuhrman, who played the sinister Esther in the 2009 film "Orphan," the remake also stars Isabelle Hubbert ("The Piano Teacher"), Janet McTeer ("The Woman in Black"), Antje Traue ("Pandorum") and Michael Nyqvist ("Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol").
Italian director Luca Guadagnino ("The Protagonists") will produce the film under the First Sun production banner along with Francesco Melzi d'Eril ("Hotel Rwanda") from Memo Films and Crime Scene Pictures' Adam Ripp and Rob Paris.
Green has previously promised to deliver a faithful adaption, featuring music based on Goblin's haunting score from the original film.
"We love the style and energy of the original film -- and David's script brilliantly updates the world, presenting a rare opportunity to create an elegant, classic horror film," Ripp and Paris said in a statement.
In Argento's film, Jessica Harper ("Phantom Of The Paradise," "Safe") played Banyon, an American dance student enrolled at the Tanz Akademie in Freiburg, Germany. Unfortunately for Suzy, the school was simply a front that masked the activities of Mater Suspiriorum, a powerful witch.
Executive producers for the remake are Silvia Fendi, Rizal Risjad and Philip Elway; Lisa Muskat will co-produce.

Much has been made of China's rapid economic growth in recent years. The world's second-leading economy has grown from an average regional player 30 years ago into a powerhouse today, commanding a gross domestic product of more than $12 trillion when adjusted for purchasing power. According to the OECD, China's GDP will overtake the U.S.' for the top spot worldwide by 2016.
But is China really the economic superpower many have been hyping it as? A closer look reveals a country facing numerous challenges in the years ahead -- and a nation that isn't ready yet to take its place at the world's economic peak. Investors caught up in this growth story shouldn't overlook a Chinese future fraught with risks.
A rising middle class brings problems
The rise of China's middle class is one of the pivotal demographic shifts of the early 21st century. The OECD currently estimates that about 10% of China's population is in the middle class -- a number that could grow to as high as 40% by 2020. With that rise comes a bevy of problems that threaten to derail the government's lofty growth predictions.

While the pool and spa safety act is a federal law that primarily impacts public pools and spas, each state has been adopting portions of the law to oversee those that are privately owed. "Any time there is an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) related event such as what happened to that child they [the government] always works to make us better," said Larange.
Larange said that different states have focused on differing aspects of the law to make them more stringent. It is important to check state and local laws in relation to pools and spas whether you are installing something new or are retrofitting your pool or spa. Speak to your local building inspector when considering new pool and spa safety measures. DIY Resource: http://www.networx.com/article/with-kids-at-play-make-pools-amp-spas
Some states are currently working on legislation and have no specific regulations relating to private ownership. However, most states are in the process of adopting new legislation. Larange said he expected Massachusetts to have new legislation within the next two years.
Regardless of legislation, there are steps you can easily take as a homeowner to make your pool or spa safer for your children:
Preventing Entrapment
The primary culprit in pool and spa injuries and deaths usually involves entrapment of hair or other body parts that are drawn into a drain or pump. "Entrapment can happen then there are faulty drains or pumps," said Larange. Children are especially susceptible to entrapment due to lighter weight and smaller body size. In addition, Larange said, children often play games in pools and spas, diving to the bottom or seeing how long they can hold their breath, for example.
Larange said that many pools generally have self-priming pumps which draw water into it and are gravity fed. The suction created can hold a child underwater if they come in close contact with the drain.
If you have a pool or spa/hot tub at home, you can retrofit your drains and pumps at a fairly low cost. You can retrofit anti-entrapment drains for about $90 to $150. Larange said that the new anti-entrapment devices/systems are more sensitive to water pressure, and will automatically shut down if water flow is reduced. "In spas, there are also now bottom filters and surface top skimmers. There are check valves that will switch one system to the other if there is more than two pounds of pressure on one of the systems."
Larange said that newer drains are often higher than the surface of the pool or spa with various openings for suction, as opposed to just one opening with much higher suction. "So, if someone brushes up against it, there is plenty of space to draw (suction) from the other side," he said.

'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius gets bail as murder trial looms
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius walked out of court Friday — free at least for now — after a South African magistrate released him on bail, capping four days of often startling testimony that foreshadowed a dramatic trial in the Valentine's Day slaying of his girlfriend.
But as he was driven away, chased by photographers and cameramen, questions continued to hound the double-amputee Olympian about what actually happened the night he gunned down Reeva Steenkamp inside a locked bathroom in his home.
Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder, and even Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair expressed doubts about his story that he mistook the 29-year-old model for an intruder and fired out of fear.
"Why would (Pistorius) venture further into danger" by going into the bathroom at all, Nair asked.
Cries of "Yes!" went up from Pistorius' supporters when Nair announced his decision to a packed courtroom after a nearly two-hour explanation of the ruling.
Nair set bail at 1 million rand ($113,000), with $11,300 in cash up front and proof that the rest is available. The 26-year-old track star was also ordered to hand over his passports, turn in any guns he owns and keep away from his upscale home in a gated community in Pretoria, which is now a crime scene.
He cannot leave the district of Pretoria without his probation officer's permission and is not allowed to consume drugs or alcohol, the magistrate said. His next court appearance was set for June 4.
Earlier, Pistorius alternately wept and appeared solemn and composed, especially as Nair criticized police procedures in the case and as a judgment in the track star's favor appeared imminent. He showed no reaction as he was granted bail.
Pistorius left the courthouse in a silver Land Rover just over an hour after the bail conditions were set. The vehicle, tailed by motorcycles carrying television cameramen, later pulled into the home of Pistorius' uncle.
"We are relieved at the fact that Oscar got bail today, but at the same time we are in mourning for the death of Reeva, with her family," said Pistorius' uncle, Arnold Pistorius. "As a family, we know Oscar's version of what happened on that tragic night and we know that that is the truth and that will prevail in the coming court case." Continued...
Dozens of journalists and international and local television crews had converged on the red-brick courthouse to hear the decision — a sign of the global fascination with a case involving a once-inspirational athlete and his beautiful girlfriend, a law school graduate and budding reality TV show contestant.
Nair said Pistorius' sworn statement, an unusual written account of what happened during the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, had helped his application for bail.
"I come to the conclusion that the accused has made a case to be released on bail," Nair said.
Pistorius said he shot Steenkamp accidentally, believing she was an intruder in his house. He described "a sense of terror rushing over" him and feeling vulnerable because he stood only on his stumps before opening fire.
Prosecutors say he intended to kill Steenkamp as she cowered in fear behind the locked bathroom door after a loud argument between the two.
Yet despite poking holes in Pistorius' version of events and bringing up incidents they say highlight his temper, the state's case started to unravel during testimony by the lead investigator, Detective Warrant Officer Hilton Botha.
Botha, who faces seven charges of attempted murder in an unrelated incident, was removed from the case Thursday. His replacement, the nation's top detective, Vinesh Moonoo, stopped by the hearing briefly Friday.
While Nair leveled harsh criticism at Botha for "errors" and "blunders," he said one man does not represent an investigation and that the state could not be expected to put all "the pieces of the puzzle" together in such a short time.
The prosecution accepted the judge's decision without protest. "We're still confident in our case," prosecution spokesman Medupe Simasiku said.
Pistorius faced the sternest bail requirements in South Africa because of the seriousness of the charge, which carries a life sentence if convicted. His defense attorneys had to prove that he would not flee the country, would not interfere with witnesses or the case, and his release would not cause public unrest. Continued...
Nair questioned whether Pistorius would be a flight risk when he stood to lose a fortune in cash, cars, property and other assets. Nair also said that while it had been shown that Pistorius had aggressive tendencies, he did not have a prior record of offenses for violent acts.
Anticipating the shape of the state's case at trial, he said he had serious questions about Pistorius' account: Why didn't he try to locate his girlfriend if he feared an intruder was in the house? Why didn't he try to determine who was in the bathroom before opening fire? And why did he venture into perceived "danger" in the bathroom when he could have taken other steps to ensure his safety?
"There are improbabilities which need to be explored," Nair said, adding that Pistorius could clarify these matters by testifying under oath at trial.
Sharon Steenkamp, Reeva's cousin, said the model's family would not be watching the bail decision and had not been following the hearing.
"It doesn't make any difference to the fact that we are without Reeva," she told The Associated Press.
Before the hearing, Pistorius' longtime coach, Ampie Louw, said he hoped to put the runner back into his training routine if he got bail.
"The sooner he can start working the better," said Louw, who persuaded the double-amputee to take up track as a teenager a decade ago. But he acknowledged Pistorius could be "heartbroken" and unwilling to immediately pull on the carbon-fiber running blades that earned him the nickname "Blade Runner."

A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster Always talkin' about what he wants And just sits on his broke ass A scrub is a guy that cant get no love from me Hanging out the passenger side Of his best-friend's ride Trying to holler at me Look at that scrub thinkin he can holla at me.
2. | scrub | ||
A scrub is a now generalized term used as a synonym for a "noob" or "newb," which is someone who is bad at a video game or activity in general.
Most of the definitions here, surprisingly, have nothing to do with the actual term. The original definition is related to a person who makes a mistake in a video game, which is such a bad mistake that it is clearly wrong, yet they persist in making it. The term derives from Street Fighter II, to describe some players that were so bad that they would mash their hands across the control pad, an act known as "scrubbing," because it relates to scrubbing a car or other object with a sponge. Thus they were deemed "scrubbers," or "scrubs" for short. Over time this term expanded throughout the gaming world, and then the real world, and lost its original meaning. If you're a scrub, then you owe me a cookie.
3. | scrub | ||
A dude who act like a playa or like he sumthin but really got nothin. A broke guy with no job, no car, no girl..etc
A loser with nothing to offer a woman. ( I dont want no nasty scrub )

4. | scrub | ||
Scrub, an otherwise inferior person in some what way. Most often refers to social standings, i.e. anyone who isn't The Big Jock or similar. Also refers to people who failed to make it onto whatever team/club/board/group, and also, in online gaming circles, refers to somebody who is not inexperienced but not very good at it. Also used in Magic the Gathering, as a derogatory term for a player who is inferior to you. "Come here, scrub!!!"
5. | Scrub | ||
Someone who is below your level. John:(does something retarded)
Mike:"Scrub" |
6. | Scrub | ||
An article of clothing worn mostly by hospital staff. Make sure your wearing your scrub before you come to work.
7. | Scrub | ||
I see a lot of definitions for "Scrub" but not many are right. Sure everyone has heard that song "I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that cant get no love from me, hangin on the passenger side of his best friends ride, tryin to holla at me, etc etc." However this isn't an accurate description. A scrub refers to people who have a combination of these characteristics: Poor, cheap or ghetto clothes, little friends, not with an "in" crowd, grungy, grimy, dirty, ugly (in a lot of cases), has no job or car (also many cases), at the bottom of the food chain, uses drugs (also very common), often hanging out in the streets, criminalistic personality (often), a loser, hangs out with shady people, etc. Now I've seen many scrubs of all shapes, sizes, and colors but most of them have been white (not trying to be racist or stereo-typical at all but there's sometruth in it, i myself am white.) There's plenty more qualities but to put it in simple terms without having to list all the traits, scrubs are human rats. It's not a bad thing though schouldn't be viewed as bad but scrubs are most commonly at the bottom of the food chain aside from underground scenes, criminal scenes, large cities, etc. This is what gives the scrub a bad name. If this offends anybody know this though, I myself am a scrub and I'm damn proud to be one. Why? one may ask? Because being a scrub doesn't mean you're not cool or aren't good looking or even dirty and poor etc. Being a scrub just means you know that yo... more...

No child should be without a home.
Established by Lesley University in May 2011 with support from the Schoen Family Foundation, the Child Homelessness in Massachusetts Initiative is designed to bring attention to the growing number of children and families without adequate shelter in the Commonwealth. According to the Urban Institute, in the United States, "on any given day over 200,000 children are homeless." One child in fifty in the United States is likely to experience chronic or episodic homelessness before reaching age six. Of the children most likely to experience homelessness, twenty-five percent have suffered from physical abuse and neglect. In Massachusetts upwards of 20,000 to 50,000 children experienced homelessness in 2010, the latest year for which there is government data.
Each fall Lesley and the Schoen Family Foundation will sponsor a national conversation on child homelessness. Dr. Jack P. Shonkoff, the Julius B. Richmond FAMRI Professor of Child Health and Development at the Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Graduate School of Education, and the founding director of the university-wide Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, is the invited inaugural lecturer. Jack's mission is to bring sound science to bear on public policy decisions affecting the lives of young children. For the next five years Lesley University will host the conversation.
In addition to planning this event each year, Lesley will also support the initiative by creating internship opportunities relevant to child homelessness in Massachusetts. During FY12, the director of the Internship program and division leaders and faculty in Education, Psychology and Applied Therapies, and Social Sciences (where Child Studies is housed), will monitor student internship experiences and assess lessons learned as a way to recreate a post-internship seminar Capstone on Child Homelessness for Education, Applied Therapies, and Child Studies majors. The capstone will alternatively focus on policy advocacy and neuroscience's role in reversing the pernicious cognitive impacts of homelessness, hunger and poverty on children. This integration of seminar and capstone/field services work on child homelessness should enhance students' confidence in their ability to work with homeless children and shelters and to anticipate the learning challenges facing homeless students. Lesley students will emerge as child advocates and faculty will intentionally create learning goals to assess student proficiency and efficacy as child advocates and teachers of homeless children. Our goal is to ensure that at least 10 students per year will have opportunities to work with and observe how homeless children cope with physical, socio-emotional and economic challenges even as they play and learn.
Throughout the five-year project, development of on-line resources to share information, research findings, data and best practices will be available and promoted specifically through our alumni website and our National Center for Teachers, Counselors and School Leaders web presence. Webinars on issues related to working with homeless children will also be offered and promoted nationally through our Lesley alumni network and educational partnerships.

PureView 808 was the last new Symbian device from Nokia
The Symbian OS has been in the mainstream usage since 1998 when the joint venture between Psion (the original developers of the OS) and Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola started coming out with their latest smartphones using the Symbian OS. A decade later Nokia took over completely as Symbian gave some of the most popular smartphones known to the world in early to mid 200os.
However, as Apple came out with the iOS powered iPhone (and other iOS devices) followed by Google with their Android OS, the Symbian OS simply couldn't match their features and sales started faltering. And so in their latest earnings call Nokia has confirmed that the PureView 808 launched last year was the last Symbian powered smartphone they will release.
"During our transition to Windows Phone through 2012, we continued to ship devices based on Symbian,"Nokia wrote in their earnings call. "The Nokia 808 PureView, a device which showcases our imaging capabilities and which came to market in mid-2012, was the last Symbian device from Nokia."
In Q4 2012 alone Symbian devices sold just 2.2 million units while the Windows Phone powered Lumia handsets sold double that at 4.4 million. While Nokia will continue to sell their low-end smartphones using the S40 OS on their Asha series of handsets, it seems that the PureView 808 was the swan song for Symbian OS.

About Me Beauty Conscious
Now I have the hair I always wanted I just had to buy it! I wish I'd have found this wig years ago. It looks very natural with darker roots shading out to lighter ash blonde. I really did buy six because I'm so afraid it will be discontinued. Everyone loves it; I stopped confessing it was a wig and just accept the compliments. Thank you Paula Young.

"That Can"t Be A Wig"
By Mimi
from Oklahoma City
I wear this daily, and enjoy comments like 'that can"t be a wig' and "oh I love you hair style, where do you get it cut'! The color is so "in" and it's easy to wear, even in the wind!?! The only negative is that it's no longer available in my color, 1488A8. I have bought several because I"m afraid you will discontinue this style. My husband and daughters love it on me! Thanks Paula for making my life so much more glamorous!

Perfect style

Although style is great, I have not been successful curling the hair. I had heat set about 120, perhaps too low - will try again.My hair is mixed gray and trying to select close match has been a chore. I will try the new 56/60.

Anson Tigers Remain Unbeaten
By: Eric Boynton
Updated: October 6, 2012
By the second quarter the Tigers led the Bulldogs 22-15, and they added to that lead with a big drive in the third quarter.
First it was a 25 yard pass from Jalen Garza to Tyler Jimenez. A little alter long runs by Garza and Mitchell Hudson would put the Tigers in scoring position.
A couple plays later Hudson would punch it in for a touchdown.
Anson would go on to stretch their lead in the game, and eventually improve their record to 6-0 with the 56-21 victory.

Scleroderma is a disease of the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue is found throughout the body, providing support and form for organs and structures. Scleroderma is thought to be an autoimmune disorder—a condition in which the immune system mistakes the body's own tissue for a foreign invader, attacking and damaging it. Researchers believe that the immune system's interaction with the connective tissue causes an overproduction of collagen—a tough, hard protein that makes up tendons, bones, ligaments, and scar tissue. When this collagen is deposited in various places throughout the body, it causes hardening and stiffening.
The most common areas of the body affected by scleroderma are the skin, blood vessels, joints, and internal organs (heart, lungs, kidneys, and digestive system).
Scleroderma is classified as:
Localized Scleroderma
This primarily affects the skin. Localized scleroderma is further divided into:
- Morphea—Skin lesions are firm, at times oval, whitish or brownish plaques, surrounded by a purplish ring.
- Linear—Skin lesions appear as hardened streaks or lines along the arms, legs, or forehead.
Generalized Scleroderma
This is divided into:
- Limited—A gradually progressing form of scleroderma that initially causes skin thickening, but progresses to affect the internal organs.
- Diffuse—A more quickly progressing form of scleroderma that causes the skin to thicken throughout the body. It may also affect the internal organs.
Systemic Sclerosis Sine Scleroderma
This is a very rare form of scleroderma in which there are no skin manifestations, but the internal organs are affected.
Around 40 people out of 100,000 have scleroderma. Women are more likely to be affected.

GlobalFoundries, Center for Economic Growth team up to prepare students for high-tech jobs
MALTA—GlobalFoundries has teamed up with the Center for Economic Growth (CEG) to help regional students prepare for careers in Tech Valley, where technology opportunities abound. The chip maker and the nonprofit have created the Tech Valley Connection for Education and Jobs, a work force development initiative defining a path for the education system.
Tuesday, Hudson Valley Community College's Training and Education Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing and Alternative and Renewable Technologies campus hosted an event to showcase student work and introduce the initiative.
F. Michael Tucker, the CEG's president and CEO, described the connection via a video, a presentation and a host of speakers.
"We want to integrate technology consistently throughout the Saratoga Springs School District," said Dr. Joseph Greco, director of math, science and technology integration. "We also want to emphasize there are many pathways to education, which will be a major paradigm shift for some parents. Not every child needs to attend college. Some students may want to go right into the work force, and our programs will help ready them."
Mike Russo, GlobalFoundries' director of
government relations, described the initiative's formation. Businesses, government, labor and education entities have been part of the Tech Valley Connection. Twenty chambers of commerce, 111 school districts and 345 schools are involved. Building on its 2009 Administration Outreach program, GlobalFoundries looked for ways to develop science, technology, engineering and math in K-12 curricula, also keeping in mind a student's abilities. Such "soft skills" as communication and interaction are also key for today's jobs, Russo said.
At the student exhibition, children from Saratoga to Albany shared their work. Jordan Garcez, Justyn Werrs, and Ben Knoll, Albany High School students, showed last year's club robot. Werrs likes the animation aspect of the design process; his fellow students enjoy the actual building.
Some of the innovative programs in area schools include North Colonie Shaker High School's original pre-engineering program, developed with the district business advisory council. In Saratoga Springs High School, "Flipped Instruction" lets biochemistry students watch lectures on their home computers. In class, the students work on labs, with more time to carry out experiments.
Having surveyed many groups, especially the schools, to see what developments are ongoing, which need to be reworked and which started up, GlobalFoundries and the CEG can plan their next steps. Continued...
Joseph Poirier, a fourth-grade student ambassador from Milton Terrace South Elementary School, demonstrated his next step: a circuit board with brightly colored transistors.
"I want to do this for a career," he said. "Only on a bigger scale."

Garden of Eden
ACIM states we never left the "Garden of Eden" so to speak, we are just dreaming a dream of exile and separation. Once we wake up and realize this was all a dream and nothing bad is happening all will be well. But, I say treasure the happy dreams!
This is a poem about waking up…
Adam and Eve
Eve strolls through the garden the trees are beautiful, the water fountains are huge, flowing and fresh
She sits on a bench under the apple tree in the middle of the garden, to watch the birds and butterflies flutter by
She looks to her right to see a serpent with a forbidden apple, he explains to her the benefit of taking a bite
She eagerly declines and explain to the serpent it is not necessary for her to gain unlimited knowledge
Because she speaks to her Creator several times a day and He gives her all that her heart desires and more
She agrees to ask her husbands' opinion because the serpent insists.
The next day Adam joined Eve on her stroll to meet the serpent and the same offer was extended to Adam
Adam graciously declines and explains that there are laws that must be obeyed to promote safety and tranquility but he'd speak to the Creator to see what He has to say
The serpent slyly slithering away, whispering "Oh, No! that's just fine
No need to bother the Big Guy, He has enough on His Mind"
No bother, Adam said, I talk to Him all the time
The Big Guy was informed of the serpent's request and for attempting to break the law, he was silenced and forbidden any access to the Beloved Ones
Realize We Never Left the Garden of Eden
We are merely having a nightmare
Wake Up!

Do or Don't: A house registry
P.S. More dos and don'ts...
(Thanks, Karaugh. Boots photo by Stephanie)
104 comments:
- Anonymous1:43 PM
Yes, i would definitely have a house fund. That being said, a house is such an expensive item that maybe just a gift registry makes sense. However, if you have what you need, just cash can go to save for a house. I say, suggest whatever makes sense for you. People can opt in or out.
ReplyDelete amazing idea. although i like the idea of an interior decorating registry instead -- something like furnish my home registry. hee hee. for larger items -- a timeless leather couch, a pretty print framed all lovely, that antique clock you always wanted, etc. my registry felt so generic and money conscious: sheets, towels, bowls, etc.
ReplyDelete- LB1:50 PM
I love the idea of asking your family and friends to contribute to a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon experience.
But the house registry, and even today's traditional registries, all the showers (in different cities to clean out different friends' wallets no less) are getting out of hand. If you want that West Elm duvet, buy it yourself. Makes me want to get married at city hall without the big wedding and showers for no other reason than to not be THAT bride. I think it's a fun idea. When my brother and his wife got married they already had all the household items they needed. They were in the middle of renovating and fixing up their home, and insisted that they did not want gifts. When certain family members and friends insisted on bringing something, my sister-in-law told them gift cards to Lowe's or Home Depot. I think this registry is a cute idea to present the same idea. There will always be people who want to buy you a gift, and better it be something useful (like a door for your bathroom...ha!) rather than another gravy boat.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it - I really don't like the honeymoon registry either. Personally, I only buy off the registry if it is for a baby. If you are my age (32) and have a wedding shower, I will politely decline. They are generally boring, and I know you've been eating and cooking for the 10 years since you graduated college! I don't want to buy you a new set of pots and pans. And as for a wedding gift, I will just give you cash. Feel free to use it how you would like.
ReplyDelete- Becca2:00 PM
So when my roommate and I moved in together, we decided it would be fun to go to Target and register a la husbands and wives despite being two female friends living together (we joked we'd send it out to friends for our housewarming). Best part though - three weeks later we received a coupon in the mail addressed to someone by the name of "Becca Elysse" (my name is Becca, hers is Elysse) for a discount on a standing KitchenAid mixer. It's still framed on our refrigerator!
Becca If you're attending someone's wedding, don't you care about them enough to help them start their lives?
All you people who say cash/money is tacky, money grubbing or the like, why are you going to the wedding of someone you don't trust to do something right with their money?
In my culture (Italian) anything other than money is considered tacky. Why have pots, pans and linens if what the couple really needs is a downpayment on a home? Or a large contribution to their mortgage. Wedding gifts are meant to get a newly married couple up on their feet - think of it as a community barn-raising, where the "barn" is the new life this couple will share.
AND, wouldn't you want your hard-earned money spent on something like a home rather than a crystal serving bowl which will likely collect dust? If you don't like the couple's gift wishes, don't go to their wedding. Easy.I don't think I have ever bought anything from a registry. My friend had a baby- I made a baby blanket and found **the most adorable** handmade snuggly monster toy. Several friends have gotten married- I collect small related things inside of one big thing (like a cookie jar or a picnic hamper) to create my own themed gift. I feel like these events should really be reasons to celebrate, not hand over cash, you know? And I find that I'm able to feel the spirit of celebration more when I think of things that have a more personal touch and highlight a special connection that I have with the people involved.
And I would feel **so** uncomfortable asking guests to essentially come together and buy me a house. How do you even say that in a way that doesn't seem like you've got your hand out for $$?I don't understand why anyone thinks helping contribute to a couple's future by helping them afford a honeymoon or house or anything really is any more "tacky" than a traditional gift registry. I for one hate having to purchase a super formal place setting that the couple will never use and would love to be able to contribute to their ability to purchase a home for their future family.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think that all registries are tacky and impersonal, and unless they include something I would have chosen myself for the recipient, I never buy anything off of them.
That said, the ones that are flat out asking for money--whether it's "fund my honeymoon" or a "house registry"--are the tackiest. Why not just send an invitation that says "Oh, and by the way, in lieu of gifts, please just send cash"? Tacky tacky tacky, and if I got an invitation with something like this included in it, I likely wouldn't give any gift at all, and on the off chance I did decide to send a gift, I'd make sure it was something that couldn't be returned or exchanged--perhaps something from Etsy.- Anonymous2:14 PM
I dont see how the "love is taken out of the gift." This is no different than a honeymoon registry except instead of buying a snorkeling excursion they are buying a window. The same issue arises, guests are going to give money and the couple can choose to use it for their house, their honeymoon, or bottles of wine on a Saturday night.
ReplyDelete Here's my deal... I'm nowhere close to getting married but I'm trying to be independent and buy my first place at age 27. Why is it fair for those who get married to be able to register (tangent to this subject) but not for someone who is graduating to adulthood? Just saying... ;)
www.becauseofmadalene.comI don't know really. We had a charity gift registry where our guests could buy items to help the third world - like goats, seeds, farming equipment, roof tiles etc. We had everything we needed so thought that would be a nice way to share our love!
Wedding Stationery Designer - www.dottypink.co.uk- Anonymous2:24 PM
I think it is inconsiderate. All of us are living in homes, our own or rented, and are all trying (struggling, even) to make our place our own. I am single and in my thirties, no children i have happily purchased gifts for friends on the occasion on their engagemenst, weddings, honeymoons, babies (birth and showers), and now for the children's birthdays. I rarely get birthday gifts from them, yet I do not expect them. I am appreciative that they have registries, because we all have unique tastes and wants and needs. But a house registry?!? That feela like I am supporting the living and lifestyle of someone else. When do I get some help here?!? Am I being incredibly selfish?? Can I register for 3 days of paid rent, a week, a month? ;)
ReplyDelete I think it's a great idea. My brother and now sister-in-law had been living together for years and already had a fully stocked home. Family members pushed them to get a gift registry full of things that they did not want or need.
I also agree that asking for cash in the invitation is tacky.
There is always the option of not giving anything!- Marina2:32 PM
Hello Jo and everyone! I just wanted to suggest you go and see this, if you are in NYC and zou have the opportunity, you will not regret it!!!! I used to do it when I was younger and it's amazing to see: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/20/a-human-tower-needs-a-foundation-as-well-as-a-pinnacle/
Hope that you enjoy it if you get to see it live! - Anonymous2:33 PM
I think if I was in the position to set up a registry, I would do it with the type of people at the other end in mind. Personally I come from a very open minded community of friends and relatives who would likely see the value in the practicality of something like this. If I felt like my request was going to be offensive to some I would probably be less inclined to set one up, but also less inclined to want the judgmental ones at my wedding! So I guess at the end of the day, I would prefer to feel like I can freely request the things I actually need, and leave the sourpusses to attend the boring cookie cutter weddings of others.
ReplyDelete I'm not entirely comfortable with "nontraditional" registries, but I think that's just my perception. When I think about it, I don't really see the difference.
And while memories last a lifetime, somehow I prefer the idea of investing in someone's future via their home--but again, that's my perception. So I don't think I'm going to worry too much about how someone goes about this, as long as they have some items listed that I can afford.I go back and forth on this, and totally see both sides. I think it's kinda cool for the fact that all of your close friends and family become a permanent part of your home, your home becomes (in a way) bits and pieces of the people you love from what they contributed to your home... but on the other hand, I sometimes feel like the general nature of registries is strange. It seems that it's only socially acceptable to have a registry if you're getting married. What if you never want to get married (or legally can't)? When my boyfriend and I moved in together, we had pretty much nothing we needed, and I always joked about registering for all the essentials, but the reality is, I would feel really silly telling people about it because the registry isn't a result of us getting married. It seems like it's only ok to ask for specific gifts if you're engaged/married. Why can't people have registries for birthdays/holidays, etc?
ReplyDelete- Natalie2:42 PM
My main problem with this idea is that when the couple moves (and most people do eventually move out of their first home), they'll be leaving all those gifts behind. Honeymoon memories you'll have forever, and housewares you can bring from place to place, but if your gifts are skylights and bannisters, you'll have to part with them all.
ReplyDelete I think it is really lacking in class to invite people to a celebration YOU want to have and then dictate what they are expected to gift you. If you want a house, save for it as we all save for the things we want. Those who want to give you cash will do so anyway and those who do not have the right to gift what they wish - don't invite people if your main concern is getting what you want, instead forgo the celebration and use your own money as you wish
Weddings are so impractical. People should have the option of having a wedding or using the money for something more reasonable.
I had a wedding and basically did it just for my groom's family. If it were up to me, I would have registered for an awesome honeymoon (like your former post suggested) or, had I thought of it first, a house!It seems to come down to knowing your guest list. I wouldn't feel right about asking my friends to contribute to my "buy a house fund" (because really, they're not buying your windows or faucets or drywall, the gift just goes into a big bank account) when most of them can't currently afford to buy their own homes.
My fiance and I aren't doing any kind of registry. We live on the other side of the country from most of our friends and relatives, which means plane tickets and hotel rooms for the wedding guests, and making a wish list of presents just doesn't sit well with either of us in this situation - especially when we already have two of every kitchen implement ;)I'm a really practical person, so I'm normally all about these. However, I'm not a fan of this. I think my biggest problem is....do you expect your friends and family to really raise that much money? It just seems so far fetched that it does scream asking for money. But hey, to each their own!
ReplyDeleteIt's not any more or less tacky than the honeymoon registry. Both are essentially the same thing - asking for money to put towards a specific future purchase.
I'm baffled as to why a bunch of people thought the honeymoon registry was perfectly fine, but this is getting mostly tacky comments.- Chrissy3:25 PM
Tacky, butat least more practical than a honeymoon registry which is the worst. If y can't afford it, don't go.
I think the wedding industry in general has gotten out of hand with blogs like yours promoting these so special perfect snippets of perfect weddings, honeymoons, outfits, trips, hair. Now it's all about me meme and presents presents look at how perfect and photoshoot ready everything is. Like I said w. the honeymoon registry, as long as good etiquette is applied (like you don't put the registry on your invitations, etc.) then I wonder why not? Presumably the people who are coming to your wedding want you to be happy. The registry is always an option, and for those who want to buy a gift, they could do that also... having a registry isn't stopping that. I think that asking for a house is a sweet idea. I would say though that only young couples should do this, though. Like if neither own property or it just looks a bit weird/tacky.
ReplyDelete- Andie3:41 PM
I love honeymoon registries but think this one is a little bit too much because houses are so much money that asking for one seems kind of My Super Sweet 16.
However, I hate when people have a registry and then people (like some of the comments here) decide not to buy something off the registry in favor of a different gift. People spend a long time coming up with those lists, and they're just going to return your 'thoughtful' gift. I'm a big fan of the honeyfund registries, but this pushes the envelope for me. I just had to share with Joanna because I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
For the people who want "life registries," and not just a wedding registry, you can absolutely do that! When money was tight a few years ago, my family decided we should "register" for things we really needed and give one another practical more practical gifts for holidays/birthdays since we were all feeling the bad economy.
We registered with wishpot.com. I am sure there are other similar and/or better sites, but you could pick out anything from the internet to form your registry. It was helpful to my family to see I could really use a crockpot and not a superfluous piece of jewelry (although I did jokingly register for an obnoxious diamond ring as a joke!).- Anonymous3:44 PM
Registries like these just contribute to the overspending epidemic that our several generations in our country faces. We want these "Pottery Barn/West Elm/ABC Home" lifestyles and homes, but we can't afford them. If we can't afford a house and the items in it, then we shouldn't expect to have them. (Hasn't the recession created by overborrowing and overspending taught us anything?) If we can afford these houses, but are too cheap to pay for them ourselves, then it is rude to pass the expenses on friends/relatives.
ReplyDelete Meh. Registries of all kinds (bridal, baby, honeymoon, etc) weird me out - It's like "Here are all the things I want, but I don't want to have to buy them, so you can buy them for me!" - I feel like half the stuff people put on registries is overpriced junk they will never use anyway. I don't know - If people really want to help me out, then offer to pay for my groceries or send me a check so I can pay off my student loans ...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I feel that all regristries are kind of icky. That said, I chose to create a traditional household registry because pretty much everyone told me that I needed to, and that if I didn't I'd wind up with a bunch of toasters. Most people don't find traditional registries tacky simply because they've become so ubiquitous that they're now normal, but when they first came out, lots of people hated them. But I find registering for a honeymoon or a house extra tacky because it's also disingenuous--are you really using that money toward a window? And will you really remember the person who gave it to you each time you look at it? Come on.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is any tackier than a traditional gift registry.
My friends and family would be honored to give us money for our future and our life together than to buy us some (mostly useless) crap. I mean, I can buy my own silverware and bread box -- and I can buy it today -- whereas it would take years to afford a house.
I wouldn't expect this registry to pay for the ENTIRE house -- and I think it's crazy if you do -- but it would help get the ball rolling.
And yes I guess you could use the money for something else -- but why would you do that to your friends and family?! You could always return gifts and pocket the cash.
To each their own, I say. And I think this is a wonderfully practical idea.- Anonymous4:29 PM
I think some people who are leaving opinions of this being "tacky" are not looking at it from the right angle.
The facts are this:
1- Most people would be using this registry with another more traditional registry- it is not a demand for cash. Everyone at any wedding has the option to give a gift, and can choose what type of gift to give, if any!
2- It is only in American culture mostly that weddings bare the type of "requirements" that people feel the pressure to subscribe to- traditional wedding gifts, bridesmaids and break the bank affairs. As someone already mentioned, in many other cultures couples are given cold cash to start their lives as they see fit for what they need.
1- If you are the type of person that feels you want to personally select a gift for someone that you feel like giving, also understand that gift may end up at the Salvation Army and contribute to the overabundance of material things people have in this world that they don't need or want and the waste it creates, for starters. Blenders break, China chips. And even if the couple sells their first home, the sale of that house contributes to the down payment of the next house. Giving a gift like this is the most needed gift I think you can give anyone- an investment far beyond a honeymoon, a cake plate or a toaster oven
4- Most people genuinely love thier friends and want them to be happy and have the things they need or want- if you don't feel that way, don't even spend the money to attend the wedding let alone a gift - Lisa H.5:17 PM
As someone who has purchased a house (actually two, now - we're on our second home) I can say that my PRACTICAL side says, "Yes! Awesome idea!"...but then my Miss Manners-reading side says, "Ick."
I guess I believe that some things are meant to be somewhat private (like the cost of my front door or toilet???) and the responsibility of the purchaser or something??? - pri5:27 PM
I think this is super weird. Why not just give a check and that can go towards a house? I kind of understand the honeymoon registry and it seems likely that someone really can pay for a fancy dinner in Paris, but how does someone pay for a front door? Is everyone custom building their houses? If not, wouldn't the money just add up to the down payment? Traditional registries are just that, traditional, which is why I think its okay. Personally, if I had a wedding (def not soon as I'm 20 and have no current prospects, haha), I think I would go for cash, donation to a cause, or ask for nothing. I am Indian-American, and although I'm not totally sure, I think the traditional thing is just a check. Sometimes people give gold to the bride. Of course, in America, people tend to mix Western (registry) and Indian customs in their wedding.
ReplyDelete This is amazing, I've never seen anything similar :)
Have a lovely day!
http://www.unidentifiedlifestyle.comPS. I agree with Christina Marie's comment above about why it's ok for us to buy presents for marrieds, but not for the single gals. What if I never marry? Does that mean I'm not allowed a registry for just living my life and working hard and getting by on my own? I guess I feel bitter because all of the weddings I've attended ended in divorce. And I bought all of them expensive stuff from their registries. I'd like a present for not making bad decisions.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, when I get married, I would of course prefer money over any registry. (Though, in my culture, it was customary to give money instead of gifts). But, because it is not proper etiquette here to bluntly ask for money, I think these registries (honeymoon and home) are great ideas for things that you will really need and use.
As for the little frilly items and fillers for the home, I would rather pick them out myself during a "great find" than being pressured to quickly find stuff to put on a registry... since typically, you are limited to selecting only a few places to register at.
Either way, if people don't want to gift you something from the registry (standard registry, honeymoon, home), that's their choice... and I would be fine with whatever was given to me... if at all.- EmilyJane8:03 PM
I consider it an honour to be invited to someone's wedding. Of all the people they've known in their lives.... they chose me and my guy to share their special day. How cool is that?
So, with that in mind... I'm going to give them something, why not give them what they want? It's their day, after all. I believe that traditional wedding registries are just that, steeped in tradition. I prefer the open minded and personalized approach, whatever that may mean for a couple. A few summers ago, my partner and I attended 9 weddings in one season. That was a good lesson for me for me to learn that this isn't about me. If they wanted a gravy boat, so be it. Straight, hard cash? Gladly! So if they ask for me to pay for their kitchen faucet, I will do it with a warm heart. - Erin8:25 PM
My fiancé and I just got engaged- we live together and have no desire for a real registry. We were considering a honeymoon registry but this looks even better! I can't wait to suggest it to him. Why waste money on what we already have? I Love the idea of having friends and family over and saying "Check out the door you gave us!"
ReplyDelete Perhaps there's some cultural divide but I do find it strange that so many people have such strong views about how "tacky" non-traditional registries or cash gifts are. I agree wholeheartedly with Anonymous' comment about the four points that generally sum up where people who have non-traditional registries are coming from - essentially, they're not coming from a place of greed.
In response to those who have said "If you can't afford a honeymoon/house, don't buy one", I think this is a rather unfair statement. Not everyone who gets married is graduating to adulthood, but that doesn't mean they didn't struggle in the same way earlier when they did have to set up home. My partner and I certainly did it tough when we first moved in together, in terms of setting up house and also financing a child, which we did not receive help for... and that's fine! That's something we did ourselves. That doesn't mean that if we choose to get married in the future, we should be denied a gift simply because we've already established our household.
Essentially, I think that many people who have non-traditional registries are not necessarily so excessively rich that they don't need anything else. They are simply at a different stage in life to the traditional "just moving in together" phase of newlyweds.
http://auroraulysses.blogspot.com.au/I don't think i would ever have done/do a house registry but no one ever said you had to buy from the registries... it just gives ideas of what to buy for the occasion... I think they are in some ways helpful... i mean if i was going to buy a gift for a friend for a wedding and didn't know what to get they are helpful but i don't always use them if i know of something personal to buy :) they don't offend me...
ReplyDeleteSo tacky! Ask guests (who we assume you WANT at your wedding) to help you buy a house? That sets up huge expectations of guests! This is worse than asking them to help pay for your honeymoon.
I prefer asking guests to make a donation to a favorite charity in the couple's honor. We all have toasters and the money is better spent on a good cause.I didn't realize people had such strong opinions on this stuff! (after reading just a few comments...) I don't really care. I don't think I would do it...but I think most people would want to give a gift that's actually wanted....right??? it seems a bit egotistical for people to be so attached to what they want to give...why not give what is actually needed or wanted? of course I do agree that guests should not feel pressured, which is why i probably wouldn't do it. I didn't have a traditional wedding and actually do wish that I was given a toaster and some of that other stuff. Not everyone is wealthy...
ReplyDeleteI think it's a pretty nifty idea (if slightly crazy-sounding), and so very practical, too. I really don't understand all the fuss people make about this and other registries. If it's something the couple genuinely wants and could use in their new life together, then I don't see the problem.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous1:59 AM
we were just at a wedding in israel where people have elaborate weddings and there is a safe there. money gifts are assumed but to pay for the wedding itself. people who aren't able to afford it are now declining so as to avoid embarrassment. that's the worst part. missing out on a fun night because of the price tag.
ReplyDelete - Anonymous3:39 AM
I think gifts in general have gotten out of control. I'm from the midwest where a nice gift could be $50 and my registry reflected that -- I knew a lot of gifts would be coming from my parents' friends and had to register for what they were comfortable with.
I've been living in NYC for 15 years where the traditional gift seems to be a $200-300 check. I've never gotten used to it. Plus the engagement party, the wedding shower, then the baby shower, baby gift a year later. Ugh, enough. My midwestern heart has never been comfortable with all that STUFF.
We had a wedding with 50 people. But let;s say it was 200 people -- 100 couples, 100 gifts. 100*50=5000. That amount will buy you some nice old-fashioned gifts -- towels, dishes, pots. It won't get you to a down payment. You gotta do that on your own.
I still like what I registered for -- everyday dishes that I use all the time, pots that I use all the time, good silver that I use every day and will pass down to my kids. Lovely. - Emily5:36 AM
Put me down for the tacky vote. I think the problem with many of these registries is that they imply some kind of obligation or expectation -- that guests will be going against the wishes of the couple if they do anything *but* contribute to these registries, even if it makes them uncomfortable. That may not be how the bride & groom intend it, but rather how it's perceived.
I worked for many years in the homewares section of Macy's, so dealt with a LOT of wedding registries & guests looking to buy off them. I think the traditional registry is so common now, folks don't feel pressured to buy from them one way or another... I often encountered this (especially if the wedding couple chose really expensive items, or the list was bought up -- guests would usually just choose something else).
But believe me, the number of elderly guests who were relieved/delighted to be able to find something special (and tangible) for their precious niece/nephew/granddaughter etc. off registries has convinced me of their utility. It's easy to forget how important the physical 'gifting' of something is for many people -- in other cultures cash suffices, but in the US many people still place great store in physical objects, for better or worse. I'm torn on this. At first, it seems tacky. But I absolutely hate the wastefulness of getting gifts (for wedding or birthday or otherwise) that I will never use. Wouldn't money spent on crystal that will never see the light of day be better spent helping a couple invest in a new home?
That said, the money spent on throwing such lavish weddings in the first place could be spent as a down payment on a house (or for some, the whole house!). So there's that.Ah, the registry debate continues. It makes sense to give a cash or gift card donation to a couple and there are plenty of clever ways to say as much on an invite. Afterall, how many blenders, toasters can one couple use? What the couple chooses to do with that money should be left to their discretion. But a house registry is taking this ish to a whole new level. For starters, how are we sure you'll even use it towards a house? And since when did helping a couple own/build a house or renovate a bathroom/kitchen become the guests perogative? This, I'm afraid, is a tad out of hand.
ReplyDeleteI may be in the minority on this one but I say go for it. We registered for a traditional registry and a honeymoon registry. The vast majority of our friends and family opted to gift from our honeymoon registry because we moved in together when we got married and had two of every thing. Two toasters, two blenders, ect. I would much rather buy my friends a door or a window on there first home together than buy them a waffle maker that won't mean nearly as much to them.
ReplyDeleteHuh.. I think it is an interesting idea, because saving for a home is definitely very practical, and I certainly wouldn't condone someone for making one of the these registries. I also find it nice for the people who were wishing they could have registries (or get gifts?) even if they aren't getting married, the fact that this place does that is nice.
However, several things bother me about this. First off, you are not really buying a window or a lamp etc. its just cast. Giving cash at a wedding if fine! But I find the high prices a little off putting, as most people will probably not be spending that much. Close family and friends- yes. Your just-out-of-college-buddy or your coworker whom you refer to by last name only...maybe not so much. More importantly, this site takes a percentage (a small one, true and they need to make it as a business), so not all your gift is even going to the couple.
Most people are able to gauge their guest list and know whether its appropriate or not. You robably would use this in conjunction with another, more tradition registry and would probably be happy to receive any gift (because, really, its the thought that counts!). So, its not horrible or tacky. And as a guest hopefully you know the couple well enough to know if dishes are good gifts or not, and if not, well, a check in a card is just plain easier and still allows for a personal touch.This is interesting... My husband and I attended a Christian college which means the large majority of friends/acquaintances only moved in together AFTER getting married. :) In this case, we all needed to do a traditional registry because we didn't have regular household items (even if you waited a year or two to get married, you usually didn't have a lot of nice things thanks to school loans). Obviously, this is different than the larger American culture, but I liked it this way.
I don't really like the idea of registering for parts of your house.... It seems too far. For one thing, what is the likelihood that they will actually get enough money to cover the house? Wouldn't it be awkward if someone "bought" you a special window, but you never built the house so you just put the money toward something else? It would seem like a gimmick to me. Additionally, I would feel badly to ever sell the house (like I was selling memories from loved ones). In my mind, the honeymoon registries are a step too close to the line of tacky/rude/demanding, but this registry is definitely over the line. Again, that's my opinion. :)
I understand the sentiment of "just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you because I want to get something you like!", but it still doesn't seem graceful. Like if I was having a dinner party and you requested grilled cheese! I want to make you happy, but there is also a time a place for everything!
One more thought... doesn't it seem kinda selfish to essentially say "We have everything we need so buy us our DREAM house"??? If you truly have everything you need, couldn't you start a charity registry??
that was long! and, of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it's really fascinating to read how so many people had strong opinions one way or another!! :) Just goes to show that everyone is different. :)It depends on the culture of the Couple. I know that some cultures give money (without hints or prompts) like my own. I'm happy with this because it saves so much time + energy preparing for the Wedding itself. Registry for fine china etc I'm okay with, this is expected in other cultures (our Anglo friends especially). I think a House registry itself misses the point of 'giving'. You are asking your guests for a home, when infact, as a couple that is something you should be working together for.
Also, wedding guests do not have to give a gift AT ALL for eating + drinking at a wedding. A card with a lovely thank you note is sufficient. The reception, no matter how big or small, is the couple's way of thanking their guests for witnessing their marriage. That's what I've been taught.My sister is in the middle of registering for her wedding she said she felt strange asking for padded dish-ware storage when she hadn't in fact asked for dishes at all. She said that it wold be nice if she could write comments on her registry for people to see so that they would understand and not just think she was weird. To me this seems like a brilliant idea! add a comment section from the couple on registries so if a family decides to purchase a gift for the couple from the registry they can get to know the couple better while they peruse the list!
ReplyDeleteFor everyone who regards accepting gifts for a wedding, or ever having having a registry being "tacky", I truly hope you stopped receiving birthday and Christmas gifts after you're 10 years old, due to your lack of tackiness. A lot of people don't know what to get people, thus the registry! Register for what you want. Who needs 500 towels??

To the extent that anything is clear about the fiscal cliff negotiations that begin this week, it's this: President Obama will push hard to increase taxes on the rich.
He made that point obvious at a press conference Wednesday, his first since being re-elected to a second term.
"When it comes to the top 2%, what I'm not going to do is to extend further a tax cut for folks who don't need it, which would cost close to $1 trillion," Obama said, referring to the Bush tax cuts that apply to income over $200,000.
"And it's very difficult to see how you make up that $1 trillion -- if we're serious about deficit reduction -- just by closing loopholes and deductions."
His starting position will be for a broad $4 trillion deficit-reduction plan that includes $1.6 trillion in new revenue, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday. The basis for it is Obama's 2013 budget proposal from last February.
That new revenue from his budget would come primarily -- although not exclusively -- from households making more than $200,000 ($250,000 if married).
Here are some of the tax measures Obama has put on the table:
Let some Bush tax cuts expire: As he often stresses, Obama wants to let the Bush tax cuts that apply to income over $200,000 expire. If that happened, the top two tax rates -- currently 33% and 35% -- would increase next year to 36% and 39.6%.
In addition, investment tax rates on the rich would increase to 20% for capital gains and to one's top income tax rate for dividends. Both are currently taxed at 15%.
All told, those changes would raise close to $1 trillion over a decade, assuming that the income exemption levels for the Alternative Minimum Tax are adjusted for inflation.
