Building Codes: Energy Rules that Work
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/building-codes-energy-rules-work/Update 4/6/12: The increased cost of a home built to the 2012 code in Illinois will increase the home's cost by $1500 (~$6 a month) but save $33 per month in energy costs.

While the Dollar/Yen pair broke below its technically significant level of 100 yesterday, in today's session, the Dow Jones dipped below its numerical milestone of 15,000.
Year to date, both assets have moved in tandem and by similar magnitude, each gaining over 14 percent in the same period.
However, with the downside momentum gaining, will the greenback drag down the Dow further?
Tuesdays have been exceptionally good for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and if the index finishes higher today, it will mark the 20th consecutive positive Tuesday close.
The current streak is the longest Tuesday in history and the second longest ever for any day of the week. The last time Dow Jones even got this far was in 1927 when it closed up for 15 consecutive Tuesdays from June 1927 through September 1927.
In 1968, the the Dow rose for 24 straight Wednesdays from June through November.
So far this year, Tuesday has also been the best day of the week for Dow Jones, with an average gain of roughly 0.50 percent. And the second best? Friday, with a gain of 0.33 percent.
On the other hand, Monday has been the only negative day, with the Dow falling an average of 0.23 percent in 7 of the last 10 instances.
While the Dow already broke the most number of consecutive positive Tuesdays, if Nasdaq closes positive today, it will tie with 10 consecutive Tuesday close that occurred between September 1972 through December 1972.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average set an all-time high Thursday and is now up nearly 22 percent since mid-November.
The market has not closed down for more than two straight days this year, while the percentage of stocks hitting new 52-week highs Wednesday surged to the highest level in nearly 25 years.
Those numbers have led many investors to believe the market is overdue for a pullback.
According to Wall Street research firm Stratega, however, a long-trend market can persist for years. The firm notes that there were no 10 percent corrections between 1962 and 1966, 1984 and 1987, and 1990 and 1997.
Other clues may be found in the strong correlation between this market and the one in 1958.
CNBC's Analytics team went back to 1900 to find other times when the Dow traded in a similar pattern. The market performance in the last 100 days closely resembles the period between July and November 1958, with a correlation match of 97 percent.
Back then, the market took a brief pause, pulling back about 5 percent before rallying 14 percent through the first quarter of 1959.
Here's a chart displaying the correlation between the current bull market and the one in 1958.
Despite gold prices bouncing off their April lows, investors continue to pull money out of the precious metal and plow it into equities, as the stock market keeps climbing to new highs.
Since bottoming at $1,321.50 on April 16, gold prices have stabilized and rallied more than 11 percent, but the SPDR Gold Trust ETF has had more than $4.4 billion in outflows, according to IndexUniverse.com.
The exodus from the biggest commodity ETF is nothing new. Last month, the GLD experienced $6.8 billion in outflows, putting the total figure so far this year at $14 billion.
As fund flows decrease, the GLD is no longer the sixth-largest holder of gold in the world. For the first time since the second quarter of 2008, the ETF's bullion levels fell below China's gold reserves.
The Dow is up 20 percent since the most recent low on Nov. 15, but 12 stocks that have been kicked out of the index over the years have risen an average of 30 percent. These are all stocks of companies (or their descendants) that are former Dow components, comprising the ones that still trade in some form.
As a comparison, CNBC looked at the performance of the 10 new Dow members since November 1999, when Intel and Microsoft became the first tech and non-NYSE traded stocks to be included. Those 10 stocks had an average gain of 24 percent between the November low and now, better than the overall gain for the index but still shy of the 30 percent increase chalked up by the ousted stocks.
(Read More: Rotate! What's Fueling S&P 500 Rally)
Here is a look at the performance of the stocks in the "rejects" club since mid-November.
In a relentless rally, the S&P 500 is up 19.3 percent since mid-November, breaching 1,600 for the first time ever on Friday and settling at a record close of 1,614.42.
Since the low last November, five S&P sectors are already in bull market territory: financials, health care, consumer discretionary, utilities and consumer staples are all up more than 20 percent.
More than 86 percent of the S&P 500 stocks are trading above their 50-day moving average. Some of those companies, however, have significantly broken out from their trading range.
Price momentum is a relatively short-term occurrence, and as it starts to wane, the stocks that have deviated too far from their respective averages tend to revert back to their means.
Case in point: First Solar. Although FSLR lost almost 9 percent on Monday's trading session after missing first quarter estimates, the stock has moved more than 31 percent away from its 50-day moving average.
Similarly, Gamestop is trading more than 27 percent away from its 50-day moving average. Gamestop and First Solar are among the most shorted stocks in the S&P index, with more than 30 percent of their float sold short.
The S&P 500, which has also gained significant upside momentum since the beginning of the year, is up more than 4 percent from its 50-day moving average for the first time since mid-February.
Here are some additional names trading at "overbought" levels.
After a temporary drop in the second half of March, short interest is back on the rise.
The NYSE recently reported that in the first half of April short interest rose to 13.36 billion shares from 13.23 billion on March 28, a one percent increase.
Likewise, NASDAQ also showed an increase of 1.4 percent in short interest during the same period.
According to data from FactSet, more than 58 percent of S&P 500 companies saw a spike in short interest in the first two weeks of April.
Short interest measures the total number of shares of a security that has been sold short, expressed as a percent of total tradable shares.
Investors track short-interest levels to gain a sense of where a stock might be headed, along with some insight into whether any positive news might force short traders to cover their positions, pushing stocks higher.
J.C. Penney, Gamestop and First Solar, for example, have some of the highest ratios in the S&P 500 index, with more than 30 percent of their float sold short.
Here is a look at the most heavily shorted stocks:
After giving investors 12 consecutive years of gains, gold has been anything but golden this year.
Capped by its worst intraday drop in history on Monday, gold prices are now down about $112 ,or 7.5 percent in the past two days. (Read More: How Gold's Fall Will Affect World's Biggest Consumer)
Following Monday's technical breakdown, gold hit a low of $1,321.50 on Tuesday for the first time since Jan. 28, 2011, before bouncing back about 4 percent by midafternoon. Also capturing traders' attention is the precipitous drop from its record close on Aug. 22, 2011, when gold prices settled at $1,888.70.
Deflation fears in the U.S. and worries that Cyprus may sell gold holdings to help with its bailout sent gold falling nearly 5 percent last week, its worst week in 16 months.
(Read More: Here's Why Gold Is Getting Crushed)
The strengthening dollar also has not helped gold, which is priced in U.S. dollars. The Dollar Index has gone up in value nearly 3 percent in 2013, mostly on expectations the Federal Reserve may contemplate tapering stimulus measures later this year.
Gold's steady decline is adding enormous pressure on both gold ETFs and gold stocks in recent months.
Consider the widely held SPDR Gold Trust which traded a record 93.8 million shares on Monday, 8.5 times its average volume this year. Selling also has been intense in the second-largest ETF for weeks. The SPDR Gold Trust has already seen $8.6 billion in outflows this year, far more than any other ETF in 2013, according to IndexUniverse.com.
As a result of those outflows, the SPDR Gold Trust, which is backed by gold, has become a notable seller of the bullion. The ETF is still the sixth-largest holder of gold in the world, with over 1,158 tonnes of the bullion stored in highly secured vaults. However,that's down from its peak holdings of 1,351 tonnes in mid-December.
Since then, the ETF's gold holdings have shrunk by about 193 tonnes.
(Read More: Everything You Need To Know About The Largest Gold ETF)
That's a significant amount. For some perspective, that's more than the gold reserves in countries including Thailand, Singapore, Sweden, South Africa or Mexico—among others. It's also more than the quarterly net-gold purchases made by central banks all around the world during the last two years.
According to the World Gold Council, central bank net purchases of gold never exceeded 161 tonnes in any quarter during 2011 or 2012.
As poorly as gold has performed (down 17 percent year to date), gold stocks have been hit much harder in 2013. Both the CBOE Gold Index, which tracks the major gold stocks, and the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF plunged over 30 percent so far this year.

While there was a flurry of activity in the final week of the legislative session in Albany, several major pieces of legislation stalled in the Capitol. YNN's Zack Fink looks at what did and didn't get done Wednesday.
NEW YORK STATE -- The Assembly and the Senate passed legislation to protect nearly a million people with disabilities under state care.
The legislation would create a Justice Center with an independent prosecutor who could pursue claims of abuse and neglect.
"The top priority for me in this last stretch recently was the establishment of the Justice Center, which should have been the top legislative priority for the legislature also," Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Tuesday.
But advocates for the disabled have criticized the Justice Center Bill for giving the governor too much control. "They are saying basically that they are going to have an independent protection and advocacy agency. And guess who is going to appoint who that is? Governor Cuomo. So right off the get go, there are major problems there," said Michael Carey, an advocate for the disabled.
Legislators say the Justice Center will be more independent than the governor's office originally proposed.
"The governor sent us a good bill. We made it a much better bill. Through sitting and the governor was very amenable to hearing the concerns of our members and changing the bill to address a lot of those concerns," said Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
Meanwhile, there is still no deal on what portion of teacher evaluations should be made public. A bill favored by the governor and the Assembly would disclose evaluations but without teachers names attached. Some Republicans are opposed.
"When you are talking about the release of personally identifying information. The way it is structured, there is some concern that someone may be personally identified anyway if you do it by class, by subject, by grade. I think it's a legitimate question," State Senator John Flanagan said.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has been very supportive of Senate republicans with his wallet, wants evaluations made completely transparent.
Bloomberg said, "Nobody is going to create a fight between the Governor and me. My hope is that we come to some agreement that would be acceptable to everyone and if we can't, there will be plenty of time in the fall when the legislature comes back to address the issue again. This is not an issue that is going away."
Lawmakers are also expected to give final approval to a takeover of the New York Racing Association or NYRA. Essentially, the state would take control of the organization, but it would eventually revert back to private control.

Burglars have once again struck Central Avenue.
"We've been here six years, and this is the worst year yet," said Kelly Kary, owner of Sarasota Olive Oil Co.
Her business was burglarized July 11. It was the fourth time since October that it's been hit.
"My first thought was, 'not again,'" Kary said.
In the most recent incident, someone used a rock to smash the glass door, and then they took the entire cash register, which contained $250.
"It's aggravating, because I have to think, 'What do I have to do get my businesses up and running?" Kary said.
Previous incidents resulted in the theft of a food-delivery cooler, three large planters with trees inside them and more cash.
Six days after the July 11 burglary, Derek's Culinary Casual restaurant, which is two doors down from Sarasota Olive Oil Co., was burglarized in a similar manner: Someone broke the glass door with a brick, but owner Derek Barnes said nothing was stolen.
Sarasota police believe the same person may be responsible.
"They happened a few days apart from each other. They're located near each other, and they both involve a rock or brick," said Capt. Paul Sutton. "We have to believe they're related."
Even with those two recent crimes, though, Sutton said burglaries are down significantly in the Central Avenue area (see box, front page).
Kary said she feels an increased police presence would help reduce crime even further.
"I'm an advocate for more police," she said. "When you have an economy like we have, you're going to see more of this."

If McCain should say "No" to the Bush/Paulson bailout plan
that goes double – or maybe triple -
for Obama. And he needs to say it quickly and clearly. He can't play "Lets Make
a Deal." Any deal the House Dems can craft will be a bad deal. Obama has to say
"No Deal!" His status as a hero – his core brand of change – depends on it. .
Obama's best explanation of what he meant by change was, "If
you keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result you are crazy.
That's why we need to bring real change to Washington." He was talking about Iraq, but he could have
been talking about the financial crisis.
The Fed, under both Clinton and Bush, has been bailing out
financial institutions, one after the other, for years. It hasn't worked. It
just makes things worse. Now under intense time pressure, Paulson and Benrnanke ae telling Congress that
if they don't authorize the mother of all bailouts the whole system will melt down. Maybe they
are right. I don't know. But it sure smells like a classic con. It's like a man
running up to you at the carnival and saying "A guy just got stabbed back
there. Hold this bloody knife and I'll get someone to give him CPR. Oh, and be
sure to touch the handle, OK? "
The only group of rubes that might be stupid enough to fall
for that (because they really are big-hearted bozos) is the current Dem House
Leadership. Not coincidentally, they are also the only group that actually has
lower approval ratings than the Bush White House.
Obama needs to stay absolutely clear of this legislative
train wreck. And to do so he needs to go with one of his best lines in the
convention speech, "Enough". Something like this:
"Enough. Enough panic, enough lies,
enough accounting tricks. We will get to the bottom of this and we are going to
get through it, because we are all Americans and we are all in this together. But it isn't going to be solved by pulling an all-nighter then jumping on a plane to go and campaign. The days of fast fixes and quick bucks are over. It is going to take hard work and hard facts. And to my Wall Street friends all
I can say is calm down, take a deep breath… and then take your hand out of my

There is almost no bigger waste of money than getting a parking ticket. What are you getting for your money? Nothing.
Misread a sign, forget to put in that extra quarter or park in the wrong spot and you can expect some parking enforcement officer to come by and tag you with a fine which can easily top $60 in some municipalities for even a minor infraction.
We must really hate these tickets and the people who issue them because some of the parking enforcement officers wear bulletproof vests. Either they're paranoid or the people getting tickets are scary, angry.
Worst yet is getting a ticket you don't deserve. But how do you justify fighting a fine when it will cost you more in time and money than just paying for the infraction?
"It's just ridiculous," says Toronto accountant Angela No-wicin, who maintains she has proof that she wasn't parked in front of her midtown Toronto home last week at the time marked on her ticket.
She was allowed to park in the spot for an hour for free under the bylaw. Enforcement officers usually chalk the tires of cars that are parked and return in a hour to see if the vehicle has moved.
"If the car looks the same, they just give you a ticket anyway," she says, now facing the dilemma of whether to fight a $30 parking ticket.
Her husband had to go down-town, pay for parking and spend an hour in line just trying to set up a court date. And one of them will have to go for the trial - again giving up their time and paying for parking. Sure, they could park for less on the street near the courthouse - and risk a fine and go through the entire exercise again.
Maybe if you are unemployed and live a block from the court-house this makes sense. But then again, if that's your financial situation you have bigger problems.
"You never get your money back," says Ms. Nowicin. "You are doing this on principal, I'm not going to pay for something that I didn't do. They've got to stop this. It has to end."
The good news, according to Toronto lawyer John Weingust who fights parking tickets as a hobby, is that your odds of winning in court are high these days.
"They are so inundated with these things that the people who are in breach, as long as they put in an application for a trial, the prosecutors just don't have any time. They make deals all the time," says Mr. Weingust, adding it can take eight months for a ticket to be heard in court.
The 82-year-old old says parking tickets are no longer about regulation but revenue that cities need. Mr. Weingust says Toronto collects about $80-mil-lion a year from the so-called revenue.
"This is not a way to run a city. If you have powers of regulation you don't use it for raising revenue," says the lawyer who has been trying to fight the legality of parking meters at the Court of Appeal for Ontario. "Why are they charging you money for parking when you haven't com-mitted an offence? If you have a private parking lot you can charge what you want."
He now purposely parks at meters and refuses to pay, hoping he'll get a ticket so he can take his case to the higher court. He says city lawyers have told enforcement officials not to tag him anymore.
"Every time I try for leave to go to the court of appeal, the city of Toronto sends two to three lawyers [to fight] the application and I don't get it," claims Mr. Weingust.
The key to Toronto's success on parking tickets was a change which forced people to come to court to get a trial date, he says. Before the change, you could just put your ticket in the mail and request a trial.
"The whole idea and all the tactics they use is to prevent you from fighting the ticket," says Mr. Weingust.
One answer is to designate someone else to fight your ticket. That's what the owner of Parking Ticket Guys does. You pay Michael Low half your parking ticket fine and he takes on the risk that he wins in court or pays the whole fine.
"We are aggregating tickets and fight them," says Mr. Low, adding that's about the only way fighting a ticket pays off. He won't say what his success rate is, but based on a fee of 50% of the potential cost he faces he must win cases half the time.
There aren't a lot of options when it comes to parking tickets and that's the way municipalities like it. It's not like a traffic offence, your insurance will not go up, so most people - myself included - throw their hands up.
Fighting a parking ticket just doesn't make for a good financial argument.

MONROEVILLE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A close call for an Allen County toddler struck by a falling object.
The frightening accident at a home in Monroeville Monday morning came about when a television set crashed down on a three-year old boy in his family's home.
Police believe the child was in a room by himself when a bulky, older style set fell on him, causing a nasty head wound.
It happened before 9:30 a.m.
Police believe the set may have collapsed a flimsy card table that it was setting on, causing the TV to fall on the boy.
He was airlifted to Parkview Hospital in critical condition, but was eventually upgraded to serious condition.
Flat screen TV sets that are more popular today are lighter, and have a hole for a screw in the base to secure the set to a stand or mantel.
Ed Bouwsma/Stucky's Appliance Store: " Also, a lot of your stands that are manufactured will come with braces to prevent the TV from tipping and there are aftermarket straps that you can buy for TV's to prevent them from tipping over."
Police say the mom, plus a grandma and grandpa were home, but were in a different room.
Police think it's possible the toddler bumped one of the table's legs, causing the T-V to become unstable and topple over.
Police have ruled the case an accident, and no charges will be filed.

This meetup is for young people in their 20s and 30s to get together and go see some great theatre in the city. Boston is home to many talented, fantastic theatre companies, including the Speakeasy, the Zeigeist, the Huntington, ArtsEmerson and many others. We'll mainly focus on small companies instead of the larger touring shows such as those that come to the Opera House, but we'll do some of those as well.

You like to sing, and you wish could do it more. You want to sing, and want a supportive environment to give it a try. You've always wanted to try karaoke. That wedding, party, business event, or trip to Asia is coming up and you need to get up there and sing one. But you say, "My voice stinks! I can't sing! I can't get up in front of a group and do that!" In Nigeria they say, "If you can talk, you can sing." Karaoke is not about being Sinatra, Streisand, Springsteen, or Stefani. Karaoke is abou …

Sonnets To Orpheus I, 3 by R. M. Rilke translated by H. Landman A god can do it. How do you expect a man to squeeze on through the lyre and follow? His mind is torn. Where heartways intersect, you won't find any temple to Apollo. True singing, as you teach it, isn't wanting, not wooing anything that can be won; no, Singing's Being. For the god, not daunting. But when are we? And when will he then turn into our being all the Earth and Stars? It isn't that you love, child, even if the …

So, I know this hand is good for calling a 3 bet in a HU situation, but after my last thread, I thought I'd better ask, how about when it is multiway like this.? I'm closing the action, which is a plus, but the third player in, must make any flush value of my hand worth less, as well as other risks. On the other hand, it has some good straight type things going for it, and I'm getting 3.33 : 1.
Believe me or not, I have a 3 hand sample on each player!
Then, I'd really love to hear some thoughts on this flop spot:
Ongame Network $50.00 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 4 players - View hand 1600367
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter
Hero (BTN): $40.50

Savings Tips to Consider When Shopping for Monument Car Insurance
Independent insurance agents are able to provide you with insurance quotes from multiple different carriers so if you are comparison shopping, make sure to include an independent agent in your list. If you just got your auto insurance renewal, you are probably shocked by the rates and want to find lower rates with a different company.
If you're comparing equivalent auto insurance quotes, you should get a good idea of which insurance company offers the lowest price.
You CAN Pay Less for Monument Car Insurance!
Colorado ranks 24 out of 50 states in what drivers pay for car insurance. Comprehensive averages about $167 and collision coverage is around $264. The key thing to remember is to make sure your car insurance quotes compare the same insurance limits for liability and physical damage coverage.
Local Monument insurance agents can give you quotes from many companies approved to sell insurance in Colorado, and they also provide you with professional advice and guidance. Car insurance rates don't always go up, and in fact they do decrease occassionally.
Compare Monument Car Insurance Rates
There is a very good chance that you are currently paying too much for car insurance. With over 5,024,748 people in the state of Colorado, you wouldn't think one of the most stolen vehicles in Colorado would be a 1995 Honda Accord, but it is. But don't think that your car can't be stolen just because you live in Monument.
If you own a home in Monument, a good way to save money on your car insurance is to combine your auto and home policies with the same company.
Low Income and Liability Only Quotes
Each insurance company has their own set of rating criteria, so the rates from one insurer may be significantly different from another.
Insurance companies base their rates on many different factors, some of which are not under your control. It only takes about five minutes to get multiple estimates from different companies in your area.
Monument Low-Cost Car Insurance
Prepare to pay more for physical damage coverage than liability coverage. Liability averages about $429, while physical damage insurance costs $431 for the average Monument driver. Keep in mind when getting a Monument car insurance quote that the Colorado state minimum liability limits are 25,000/50,000/15,000. You will want to buy more liability insurance than that however.
Your 'dec' page or declarations page of your auto insurance policy outlines your current coverages and shows you the coverages you need to compare Monument insurance rates. Liability insurance is a coverage that is very affordable and state minimum requirements are usually not enough insurance for most people.
Money Saving Tips When Buying Car Insurance
- Colorado Senior citizens can often receive cheaper car insurance rates
- Insurance companies reward policy holders who stay with their company for a longer period of time by giving a small discount
- Filing excessive claims will not only raise your rates, but may also force your policy to be cancelled by your insurance company
- If you get a speeding ticket, check to see if you can keep the ticket from your driving record by taking an approved Colorado driving class
- Consider dropping physical damage coverage on older vehicles
- Buying low profile cars rather than high performance sports cars or expensive SUV saves on insurance
- Click here to compare rate quotes and see if you're spending too much on car insurance in Monument.
Take the first step now in lowering your car insurance rates. Click to start a quote!

Oh heyyyyyy.
Good girlfriends will stop in at the Cigar City tasting room for you on their weekend in Tampa. Six different beers below.

this makes me excite.

Just had a 'More Cowbell' at Russian River, new experimental IPA with some thing called hop340, it was really flavorful.
And then?
Last week had some Dogfish Head 75-minute IPA (awesome), Sahtea and Rogue Voodoo Doughnut (tastes like waffles smothered in syrup, interesting). Last night got to try some Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous...holy frack...so good!
Team Wookie
Live every week...like it's shark week.
cant wait to try 75! It was on cask in town last week but I missed the opportunity
W4a|e Hunter
Alpine did a single hop with HBC 342. They called it Melonhead because they swore it tasted like watermelon. They were wrong.
W4a|e Hunter
It could be hbc, but the menu said hop...#
And then?
yeh, must be a new one they got. I cant find any info on that hop strain though
W4a|e Hunter
I don't understand your posting of the link. I live about 15min away from the place. Will do 'More Cowbell' recon tomorrow.
And then?
I went to Rattle n Hum for Brewery Night, which was a Rogue Ales tap take over. I drank Southampton's new Burton IPA all night. Frack Rogue.
"I will see you either in hell or communism."
Total wines in Florida finally started carrying Green Flash. After hearing about it for so long, I picked up a bottle of Imperial and Le Freak. <excited...>
When Obama took office, you were only paying $1.95 per gallon of gas...
last night was good. Bar had some quality taps
-Sweetwater 15th Anniversary Ale
-SN Hoptimum
-CCB Tocobaga red ale (bottle)
-Smuttynose IPA
-Lagunitas WTF
Drinking Avery Maharja IIPA right now. Fracking delicious. Hercules has been one of my favorites for a while, but I think this is a bit smoother and still heavy on hops, so good. Also, Free The Hops has successfully vanquished the 16oz container law in Alabama, so we will be getting 22oz soon! As of now there's only one or two places you can get beers like Maharja that carry it on tap and will put it in a small milk jug, but that means you have to drink it that day otherwise it goes to shit. Pretty stoked, hope Lagunitas starts distributing since they seem to have some of the cheapest, but still really damn good beers.
Team Wookie
Live every week...like it's shark week.
Maharaja is pretty Damn good. fracking sweet the changed the laws down there so you can start getting bombers!
Glory is the reward of valour.
Dont pass again (if youre a hophead...). You wont find it on the shelves often (its a 4pack btw- I paid 14.50 for it...so not cheap). I wish I could find more here. If you like DIPA/IIPAs with lots of hops (this DIPA is 10.4per and 100+ IBU), go buy it. Great hop kick with sweet caramel malts to back up the hops. Leaves your mouth coated with a bittering aftertaste. Its very "fresh" tasting and surprisingly drinkable. I could have followed it with another, but was at the bar for a work social deal and needed to survive.
If you like SN pale ale, torpedo, celebration, any of the hemispheres...you will love this. Some people throw Sierra Nevada to the side now and forget about it since its gained in popularity and its readily available. Heck I see pale ale at shitty kwik stops. I dont care how available it is- SN makes top notch beers and I buy a 6er regularly. SN are great to have if you have friends over who want a nicer beer, but who you dont want to share your $10 bomber with.
EDIT! Went down the the store I usually dont frequent, frankly because I was tired of sitting around the house. They had one four pack and one four pack-1 beer left (they will part out most 4/6 packs).
Rays game and Hoptimum. Also snagged this sweet piece of limited edition Duvel glassware (albeit not cheat at $8.75). The thing is freakin heavy!

Figured I would put this in a second post...http://www.dogfish.com/company/tange...mel-animal.htm
a bar I frequent (Gainesville House of Beers (also located in Palm Harbor and Dunedin, FL)) got a DFH Randall. Not sure how many of you are familiar with it, but it basically screws into a tap and allows you to add fresh ingredients. The bar has been experimenting with it lately (I havent tried anything yet) on Thursday nights, but so far they made:
-Double oaked coffee chocolate yeti. They took Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti and added coffee and oak chips
-Sierra Nevada Torpedo infused with fresh, whole cone simcoe hops
Welp I found out I won't be working the Beerfest here in Norfolk. I have to work some stupid medieval festival in VB. For those that are going enjoy! I'll be loading all the different brands Wednesday
"i dont even know what that means. eat my frack" -ToeKnee
Booooo! You just got demoted from hot drunk chicks to nerdy fat chicks.
Glory is the reward of valour.
I got tired of seeing lambics and that smashed blueberries beer on here, so I got my own!
I also picked up a six of two hearted and a few ciders for my ol' lady.
Glory is the reward of valour.
I got to experience a randall at a beer fest in st. Pete 2 years ago. Very, very cool! They were experimenting with adding fresh herbs to some IPA's. Delicious! Tasted similar to the DFH Saison de Buff that is on the shelfs now that is brewed with rosemary and thyme...
When Obama took office, you were only paying $1.95 per gallon of gas...
Cuvee Rene is supposed to be a very noteworthy Gueze, despite that fact that its produced by Lindemans. Let me know how this years Black and Blue is, I've been on the fence about buying a bottle.
Speaking of Randals, Dan Cady shared a brilliant idea with me a few weeks ago; loading a French Press with your intended beer enhancer, add a local beer, press, and enjoy. Earlier today I ordered 54 Premium Bourbon grade Madagascar Vanilla beans to French press into some stouts and porters; maybe Ill get ambitious and run some of the Pumpkin ales that I have aging as well.

I have a friend who's wife is stationed in Germany and is coming home in the next few weeks. I'm trying to convince him to have her run over to Belgium and pick up a case of Trappist Westvleteren 12!

Welp. I finally have my hands on some west coast gold. Its crazy to be looking at so many top notch beers. Thanks Dan! Yoooouuudddaaa man!

Banks are filled with money just like snow banks are full of snow. But until the government takes a good hard look at my proposal to get our currency onto the Snow Standard, snow banks will never be taken as seriously as normal banks. In fact, the only valuable thing you'll ever find in a snow bank is the occasional car, but even then, the people who own those cars didn't mean to put them there.
And you know what? They're not the only ones who are upset with their unexpected automobile deposit. You might be peeved as well. Why? Because it's possible that those people in those cars were consumers on their way to your business for a fruitful transaction, or just a "beneficial" transaction, if you don't run a fruit store.
But hey, not to worry! We here at The Sean Adams University of Business Management Development Leadership have discovered that, like anything, snow has a potential upside. That's right! We've put together a list of ways to turn that cold, hard-packed snow into cold, hard-packed cash! Take a look: 1. Print ads for your company on the soles of sneakers:Snow covered sidewalks are like the surface of another planet, especially it just snowed on that planet. But just because they get a bit slick doesn't mean your company's profits have to slip. In fact, if you print ads on sneaker soles, you can turn every treacherous sidewalk into a series of commercials!
2. Open an organic cold storage facility: How do you use snow to exploit people's love of natural, organic meat and vegetables? Simple! Just promote your snow-covered yard as a rent-able, organic refrigerator!
3. Buy stock in falling: The falling industry does nearly 53% of all its business when there's snow or ice on the ground. That's why, whenever you see the flakes falling, it's time to get on the line with your trader and tell him to buy up all the falling stocks he can find! And use those exact words so he understands! 4. Start a "Snow Insurance" company: Nothing sucks more than going to sleep expecting heavy snow and then waking up to find only a dusting. Well, that's where you come in! A dusting over a whole town will provide enough snow for two or three houses to get a blizzard. You simply need to find those people who love snow, write up some contracts, get a truck and a shovel, and then drive around all night redistributing the entirety of the accumulation onto clients' yards. See! Easy money!
Now, it's up to you. The Sean Adams University of Business Management Development Leadership is offering a grant in the amount of "some vocal support" for the best snow-using small business idea. Simply pitch your business in the comments section by noon (pacific time) on Friday, January 20th, and I'll announce the winner by 2pm (pacific time) of the same day.
snow ball delivery service. Nothing ruins a good snow ball fight like stopping to make more snow balls.
BOOM! idea 2. We create Snow Art, or Snart if you're cool. We create snow angels, snow circles, snow women (specialize in snow women)

We could also supply each side of the conflict according to the desired outcome. Also lets make secretive deals to our best customers (like 60/40 snow ice mix, holiday themed, yellow snow or free 12 pack with resupply order of 33 cases or more. Perhaps one day we will even muscle the competition out of town. At least we can play with the dry ice.

On the side we can have a highly publicized internal group (of no more than 2 employees), dedicated to "rebuilding the polar ice caps and patching the glaciers." Perhaps include the color green or "Eco" somewhere in there.
A little concept I've been working on for a while (a good 30 seconds or so): iSnow! I'm going to pitch it at CES next year. Word on the street is that little i is like money in the bank. My booth will have a little machine that makes the iSnow!. I'll give away samples. I'll come up with something for fans to hold the iSnow! in, maybe a little cone or something with my logo on it. Hmm, maybe add some colors to make it pop. Oooh, I know, I'll add FLAVORS and the crowd can taste the iSnow!! Man, this is gonna be so cool that I may even charge a buck or two for a cone of iSnow!.
A little concept I developed waaay before iSnow. Winsnow - it's the greatest, will be better than iSnow and you can update as often as you like.

Uh-huh. And will it work in Canada? With a Mac? iSnow! will.
They've found carvings in the pavement of shoe prints with "follow me" written in them in ancient Roman cities. It was a way for prostitutes to advertise ....I've watched the History of Sex on History channel too many times lol
theslt wrote:Uh-huh. And will it work in Canada? With a Mac? iSnow! will.
It will with the next update.... I promise
I was just thinking of marketing the snow as 'instant water'. You put some in a container of your choice and just add heat! BAM! Instant water. I'm gonna be rich. (edit: I suppose I might have slightly missed the deadline, but, it just recently started snowing here and I got on the phone to tell my stock broker to buy all the falling stocks he could find. It cost me all the money I had and I couldn't afford to pay my cable bill, so my internet got shut off. Had to 'borrow' the connection at work. No worries though, instant water is going to make me a billionaire, so, it's cool.)
While I admit that Instant Snow is a great idea, I'm going to have to give the grant to spaztic1 and constantvelocitty for their snowball delivery service. It's great to see such teamwork between two highly capable businessmen. And now that they've been given funding, I'm sure it will be exciting for rest of us to watch the inevitable backstabbing that'll begin shortly in the future. Thanks guys! And thanks to the rest of you too! You can count on more opportunities like this in the future here at Sean U!
Yay! I'll start making snow balls right away. Other guy, you start on everything else.
My hands are cold. I give up.

Council spread some food love on Valentine's day (From Wandsworth Guardian)

Croydon Council spread some food love on Valentine's day
11:20am Wednesday 20th February 2013 in Freetime
There was a whole lot of love in Surrey Street Market on Valentine's Day as the council gave cash-saving tips on food waste.
Around 500 people visited their stall, with 200 people signing the 'Love Food, Hate Waste' pledge.
The event had a popular food-efficient cooking demonstration running throughout the day and people were given recipes and a variety of food-saving kitchen gadgets.
Soul-singer, Alison Plant, added to the Valentine's Day theme by serenading market shoppers.
Councillor Phil Thomas, cabinet member for highways and environmental services, said: "We all know that a huge amount of food gets thrown away without any real reason.
"This is something that needlessly costs billions of pounds a year.
"We want everyone to keep using their food waste bins when they have to, but what our event was promoting was how easy it can be to reduce waste and therefore save money."
On Valentine's Day the council's community recycling team gave cash-saving tips on how to waste less food to almost 500 people who visited their stall on Surrey Street Market.
And nearly 200 signed the 'Love Food, Hate Waste' pledge to make their food go further and try to save as much as £50 a month as a result.

Thread: Disney's Dream Weddings
Disney's Dream Weddings
I watched a program last weekend about what kind of weddings you can have on the Disney property and about how much it will cost you.
Next showing is on the WE network May 22 at 10am Eastern
They showcased 4 different themes you can choose from and how each of those themes can be customized for each bride.
One couple married at a pretty little gazebo (I think at the GF?) and their wedding cost ~$3,000. One couple got married at the Boardwalk and theirs cost around $30,000.
One couple had their rehersal dinner on that pavilion in Italy down by the lagoon. It was GORGEOUS. The Disney wedding planner surprised that bride with a Cinderella coach that picked her up and took her to the wedding. I believe they got married at the big wedding pavilion at GF.
Anyway, it was a pretty interesting show to watch if you're interested in a Disney wedding. You can probably watch clips on the WE Network's website.
Re: Disney's Dream Weddings
I met someone today whose daughter and son-in-law got married at the wedding pavilion at GF. He said it was pretty fantastic. The wedding party (after the ceremony) instead of having a reception, they rented those little speedboats and drove around in the lake...in their dresses and tuxes! He said that they were all staying at the Wilderness Resort and when they were done playing with the boats, Cast Members were waiting with champagne and towels at the resort!

Hemoglobin derivatives are altered forms of hemoglobin , a protein in red blood cells that moves oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and body tissues.
This article discusses the test used to detect and measure the amount of hemoglobin derivatives in your blood.
Methemoglobin; Carboxyhemoglobin; Sulfhemoglobin
The test is performed using a small needle to collect a sample of blood from an artery. The sample may be collected from an artery in the wrist, groin, or arm.
Before blood is drawn, the health care provider may test circulation to the hand (if the wrist is the site). After the blood is drawn, pressure applied to the puncture site for a few minutes stops the bleeding.
See also: Blood gases
No special preparation is needed.
If your child is going to have this test, it may help to explain how the test will feel, and even demonstrate on a doll. Explain the reason for the test. Knowing the "how and why" may reduce the anxiety your child feels.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is used to diagnose carbon monoxide poisoning and other changes in hemoglobin that may result from certain drugs. If certain chemicals or drugs get into the blood stream, they can change the hemoglobin so it no longer works properly.
For example, carboxyhemoglobin is an abnormal form of hemoglobin that has attached to carbon monoxide instead of oxygen or carbon dioxide. High amounts of this type of abnormal hemoglobin prevent the normal movement of oxygen by the blood.
Sulfhemoglobin is a rare abnormal form of hemoglobin that cannot carry oxygen. It may result from certain medicines such as phenacetin or toxins such as nitrites or anilines.
Methemoglobin occurs when the iron that is part of hemoglobin is changed so that it does not carry oxygen well. Certain compounds introduced into the blood stream can cause this problem:
See also: Methemoglobinemia
The following values represent the percentage of hemoglobin derivatives based on total hemoglobin:
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
High levels of hemoglobin derivatives can lead to significant health problems. The altered forms of hemoglobin do not allow oxygen to be moved properly through the body. This can lead to tissue death.
The following values, except sulfhemoglobin, represent the percentage of hemoglobin derivatives based on total hemoglobin:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Well for me, I love his LOOKS, but it`s the music that`s won me over. A lot of people can look good but not many can sing the way Trey does. He sings from his heart & you can tell he puts his all into singing. All of his music is great, literally. You can`t find too many artist like that today. I also LOVE his lips lmao! :]
What attracts you to Trey the most ?
Well for me, I love his LOOKS, but it`s the music that`s won me over. A lot of people can look good but not many can sing the way Trey does. He sings from his heart & you can tell he puts his all into singing. All of his music is great, literally. You can`t find too many artist like that today. I also LOVE his lips lmao! :]
Trey is so real. He is really handsome,but i luv his music. I never seen an artist that can sing like him.He dnt need anything to make him sound good.I luv his life. I luv what he is about,and what he stands for. His mom raised a very respectful,caring,loving,talented,and fine man. I never seen anything like him. I luv how he feel about his family. Everyone in the world is lucky to have him,and his music as part of there lives. I also luv that he works so hard,and he is dedicated on what he do. I luv that,and I luv him.I never seen god,but i luv him.That how i feel about Trey @TreySongzBae
Well I absolutely love his Smile and besides the fact that he's gorgeous. I love him for who he is. I love his music he is such an incredible artists and he seems so down to earth. He gives a 100% in everything he does and i love that about him. He also loves and appreciate his fan and does what he can for them. Thats LOVE right there for sure and i thank you trey for the that.
His voice :) its so beautiful, i fall asleep to his songs every single night :D hes just amazing! and so incredibly talented, its so nice to have an artist that sings with his whole heart, and doesn't use the sound changing machines, on ustream when he sings acapella you know that on the cd its the same voice, and that is fantastic !
and of course his beautiful smile that makes my heart melt, and skip a beat Love it !!!
What attracts me toTrey is whenever he speaks or sings you can tell he got this genuiness about himself and swagga for days&days and miles&miles that makes you just want to melt. He said he likes to look people in the eyes when he talks to them and that just shows you his honesty. He is so loveable & talented!!! His vocal abilities are crazy!!! TREY is just AMAZING!!!!
Tremaine has a genuine face and his music is wonderful. Every time you see him and his mom it looks like she is his world that is a wonderful thing. He doesn't come from alot and from the looks of it he doesn't flaunt his money around. He just looks really cool and you don't find many cool guys with or without money.
My top 3 attractions would have to be his gorgeous smile, his humble character, and the passion that he puts into his music. Of course he looks would get to anyone, but it has to be more than just looks in the end. A man's character is his billboard advertisement! Trey seems like the same man that he was before the fame! He's himself because that's who he wants to be and I admire that about him! His music, the sincerity in his voice, and the love in his lyrics..... MAKES MY TOES CURL! There's nothing more to say... Trey is just simply Trey and that attracts me to him!

Jan 28, 20128All performances in this movie were amazing, and the movie itself captures life with an uncommon grace. Funny, depressing, and moving, The Descendants is one of the year's best movies.
Nov 27, 20113
Dec 12, 20115I didn't get it. It was a good story about a family in transition. The girls who played the daughters were pretty amazing. In the end though I just was not into the characters. It will probably win a lot of awards. It will again leave me shaking my head.

Dec 26, 20113What movie did all these other people see that they liked? There is little about this film that is enjoyable. Some good acting performances is all I could muster to say positive about this. None of the characters are either believable or likeable. And why did they have to put the "F" word into the mouths of 7 year olds just to make this an "R" rated film. WEAK

Nov 18, 201110
Nov 23, 20117Don't get me wrong, this is a well made movie. The script is good, the characters are well developed, the views of Hawaii are beautiful. However, I think it suffers from pacing problems, in that it's constantly moving at the same speed. There is no tension, there are no dynamics, the characters simply play events out under a blanket of ukelele music.
Nov 28, 20118
Jan 29, 20124there is nothing, even superficially, original about this film. I don't understand how could anyone call this the best of the year. we see bunch of movies like this every year. it's good, people should definitely see it,it's not a terrible waste of time or money, but it is nothing special really.

Dec 11, 20115It has high scores because it is more an art film than hollywood film. Those art films all have high scores because they appeal to a small independent segment. This film will find such an audience. It is enjoyable but long at times, but didn't feel long in the end.
Dec 23, 20112This movie seemed to be about finding out how many times God's Name could be blasphemed and how much cussing and swearing could be vomited from the mouth of children, NONE of which was of any use to the already boring movie. If you like to be depressed and love to hear vulgar language, then this movie is for you.
Dec 25, 201110'The Descendants' is an amazing portrayal of a family whose life is shattered when the mother of the family lies in a coma. It's central themes of fatherhood and grief are dealt with in a sensitive and powerful manner. Very few movies of 2011 can come close to this kind of filmmaking.
Dec 28, 20112After an hour, the movie hinted that it might get interesting. It did not. I can not understand how anyone could enjoy this movie. The scenery was good and the music was tolerable, so I'll give it a 2/10.

Jan 6, 20124I left wondering what the fuss was about. Not awful, certainly, but nothing I would have recommended to others. I didn't feel any emotional connection to the characters - it was an oddly distant feeling film for such a personal story. Clooney is fine, as he typically is, but is a version of himself, again as he typically is.
Jan 7, 20124
Jan 28, 20123Renter. I nearly left the theater and in hindsight, wish I had. The pace of this movie is extremely slow. Unfortunately the slow pace does not include significant character development or storytelling. Certainly enjoyed the beautiful Hawaii scenery and Clooney has a great narrator's voice but this project would have been much better suited to a made-for-tv splash vs big screen.
Jan 29, 20125This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Feb 3, 20129The Descendants is an emotionally resonant story that just happens to be consistently funny, touching, beautifully filmed along with the beautiful performances from Judy Greer, Shailene Woodley and George Clooney. And when all that is put together you have a beautiful picture of what a normal, real family is. I give this movie 93%.

Feb 17, 20129This movie is fantastic! I love it! George Clooney did a good job. He nailed it! The way he talked and his body language was depicted very well. It is a beautiful story of a struggling father! The plot was done very well and so was the location of the story.
Feb 27, 20127
Mar 15, 20123
Apr 12, 20124I watched it because of the high criticisms it received, but during the last hour or so, I really kept my finger from switching off the DVD player. What was the meaning of all this ?? And why all the fuss ? Classic scenario and nice scenery in Hawaii was all. Really mediocre movie.
May 10, 20122
Nov 20, 20119
Nov 20, 20119Best movie of the year so far. What really gets me is how the movie's scenes are at once cerebral, relaxed--just like the setting, Hawaii--but also powerful. A few scenes could have been a bit less corny, but I'm nit-picking.
Nov 27, 201110A lot will be made of what genre "The Descendants" most properly fits into. And THAT is the highest praise that I can give this tremendous and moving film.
Nov 27, 20118No question the acting is tremendous as you feel as if you are looking in on a real family drama. If you like dialogue without any action then this movie is your cup of tea. The negative is you know where it is going five minutes into the film as there are no real surprises. It is a one pace film but the cast is tremendous. And the scenery breathtaking.
Nov 28, 201110A naturally hilarious movie with not one false step. One of the most emotionally satisfying movies I've ever seen with two Oscar-worthy performances from George Clooney and Shailene Woodley. Grade: A+

Dec 2, 20119Payne, Clooney and Papamichael are all at the top of their game in this taut, emotional film with a storyline that delivers pleasant surprises from beginning to end. Shailene Woodley is terrific as the eldest daughter, delivering a performance that feels so real and not "actoryly". Nick Krause is a quirky and love-able addition to the King family. A joy to watch!

Dec 23, 201110Fabulous acting! Such real and totally human characters and story. I really could not find one thing to fault. It is a tear jerker. Clooney should get the Best Actor Oscar, IMO.
Dec 25, 20119I thought this was a great film. It was dad and funny, a real look at a family in crisis. They made you feel the pain of the characters without overt heart-tugging, the character experienced their emotions and you went along, feeling for them or not....
Dec 26, 20118
Jan 1, 20128Interesting adult story with good performances all around. My wish was that the scenes did not linger on the deathbed of the wife. We got it. It drifted into drawn out sentimentality at that point. Nonetheless, well worth seeing.
Jan 1, 20125
Jan 11, 20128terrific film. i loved the screenwriting in the film and how each character isn't merely stereotyped, but they each have a persona and reason for being in the film, which elevates the narrative. i think the film is about a father attempting to find his conscience without voluntarily seeking it, so the films sorta drags you along his path. it was well-made and i adore the hawaiian aura of the film.

Jan 14, 20128I love a movie that has a different premise than the average film. And when you add Geotprge Clooney I like it even more. He makes interesting films and surrounds himself with fascinating ensembles of talent.
Jan 16, 20127
Jan 16, 201210This a wonderfully entertaining film and also deeply touching. I laughed, I cried, I left the cinema with bleary eyes. I would like to know the people in this film. I would also now like to go on a holiday in Hawaii.
Jan 19, 201210
Jan 20, 20129It was an excellent movie that captures the raw emotions of a family dealing with betrayal, pain, and loss and learning to draw together for love and support.George Clooney played his part brilliantly.
Jan 22, 201210Best movie of the year. There was not too much competition though. The acting was the best of the year and the whole movie just felt real to me. I thought it might be too sappy for my taste, but it wasn't too bad in that department. At some parts, I actually laughed. Overall, a must see.
Jan 22, 201210Clooney gives a great performance, and it made me want to go to Hawaii. I wish the characters were more likeable, though. http://luhathoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/moments-of-bittersweet-alohas.html

Jan 26, 20126The Descendants is a good movie, which is to say it is neither groundbreaking nor earth-shattering. Clooney is great as usual, and the performance of his eldest daughter is also fantastic. It is nominated for best picture this year, and although it is good I don't believe that it should win. Rent it on dvd and watch it with someone who enjoys movies. Not for a casual viewer of film.
Jan 28, 20126
Jan 28, 20127Coming in with impossible to meet expectations after the brilliant Sideways, I must say I was quite satisfied with this movie. The actors, the setting, the story were excellent. It didn't lack Alexander Payne's edge, however it did miss it's humor, most of the jokes fall flat but the story stays compelling and interesting to deserve a viewing.

Feb 3, 201210Now this movie lacks a lot of stuff--no car chases, no explosions, no nudity...but it does not lack for great acting and a strong story line. If you can take movies with only the latter, this is for you.
Feb 4, 201210Just seen the movie The Descendants OK movie but not worthy of an Oscar of any kind.
The best actor in the movie was â -

Feb 17, 20128Great movie with great feelings and awesome laughs. The ending could have been better and shorter (the only part when I was bored was the ending), but otherwise I really recommend it to you.

Feb 29, 20128First of all, I have to warn you, thiz movie is not for everyone. I imagine if you are forty-something people or someone who recently has relaxing mood, thiz movie could be a surprising one. Me myself, incidentally was in the second category. I went to watch thiz movie with nothing to expect. But you know what? Thiz movie came to slap on my face. Big time! Wowâ

Mar 11, 20128This movie is soo great, im thrilled about the characters, the actors made an amazing performance. But the thing i don't like about it is the last scene at the hospital with George and Judy Greer that wasn't what i was expecting. Leaving that behind the movie is highly recommended is a deep story well played.
Mar 17, 201210I loved it. Solid acting by the cast, Incredibly realistic view on how cheating can utterly devistate a family. I cant see how people hate this film, Its really good.
Mar 20, 20128The Descendants starring George Clooney is quite an emotional journey through a family's hardship. I found the movie realistic and darkly comedic in some areas. The emotional scenes don't give off a melodramatic feel. I definitely recommend it.

Mar 24, 20128The Descendants is a good not a great movie . Overall i enjoyed the film with its interesting characters, some being quite annoying though . I usually am not a fan of George Clooney but i though he did a wonderful job in this film
Mar 26, 20125The beautiful setting of Hawaii could not save this film. It was boring and quite ordinary. it was nothing impressive and was certainly not emotionally stirring. The acting was above par, but the characters were flat as well as the script.

May 26, 20128George Clooney is great in this one, I really believed him with his character. The Hawaiian-inspired story was excellent and its development makes the story more interesting. The other actors are also great and they had different emotions throughout the film. Not the best of all time but definitely one of the year's best...................
May 27, 201210i really,really liked this movie. great acting all around, everyone plays their character perfectly even the supporting cast. interesting story, although i didn't read the book so i don;t know how great the adaptation is. and excellent pacing and direction. just a really well made film. really recommend it.
Jun 4, 20128A very well done movie with GORGEOUS scenery throughout. I couldn't help they were rubbing into our face how much nicer Hawaii is then well....anywhere else. Makes you re-think living it upstate New York. Anyway, all very good performances, and I enjoyed how unsympathetic the mother/wife in the coma was after awhile.

Jun 15, 20122Absolutely lame. Uneventful, boring, and self-absorbed. The writers try in vain to express human pain through cinematic garbage. Clooney's character is the worst father and must be a concoction of today's liberal version of what a father should be like. Best film of the year? Possible since most films made today are terrible too.

Jul 13, 20128stunning movie. great story, george clooney does great, and the fact that its in hawaii makes it even better. the scenery is brerathtaking, and the background music hawaiin. its all so great. comical at times, yet sad alot as well. must see.

Aug 10, 20129At times it could be melodramatic, but this was both hilarious and heartfelt in classic Alexander Payne style. Total sidenote: who knew Shailene Woodley could act? That was a shocker...
Aug 18, 20125Alexander Payne makes somewhat formulaic movies wherein disfunctional family members need to find each other again during times of emotional distress. It's well made but seems to last a lot longer then it needs to and it's not Oscar material but it did win one anyways...

80A marvellous follow-up to 2004's "Sideways" - well worth the wait.
88All of Payne's films have been driven by the anger and frustration of his protagonists, but The Descendants is the first one in which sadness lurks behind every frame.
91There are ample opportunities for the film to soak in pathos, righteousness, farce, or pictorialism, and Payne manages to nod at those pitfalls without falling into them. In a way, it's just like Matt King's world: enviably plush but filled with the real pain of real life.
