A few weeks back I posted the ingredients to my new lab server and now I finally got the parts for it. Unfortunately I tried to get my hands on a new SSD, the Crucial M500 960GB , and that turned out to be a bad choice, not that it didn't work but rather that it couldn't be shipped so that's why I had to wait so long. My need for a new lab was huge so I went back to the 500 GB Samsung SSD to get started.
Since this project has gone on for a while and it turned out great I wanted to share some thoughts…
All parts needed for a great lab:
Some time and a glass of wine later…
The power supply I had worked but it could only support one of the two CPU's so I looked for a new one. My choice was PC Power & Cooling 850W Silencer MK III that I found has scored well in several tests. But I found out that a white power supply really didn't match the theme of this computer (I promise, you don't need to tell me that thinking in terms of themes for a computer is geeky, my wife took care of that part!) and repainted it….
So with all parts assembled it now looks like this:
But besides the look (witch you could already tell I'm pretty pleased about) there are some things I wanted to share!
The first thing I'm really (!) pleased about is the remote management capabilities of the mother board I used. It allows me to power on (or off and reset) my lab computer from anywhere in the world witch of course saves power as it doesn't have to be running al the time. In my previous blog post I had the ASUS ASMB6_IKVM listed separate but it turned out to be included on the mother board, ASUS Z9PA-D8, so I ended up with a spare one… The user interface is simple but I get all the information (like temperatures, voltages and fan speeds) I need.
The second part of why I'm super excited about this machine is all thanks to my friend Mikael Nyström. Thanks to Mikael I can deploy a server or a client in less than a minute. Have a look at his scripts for Hyper-V here. It's the Zip named NICConf2013-W8-Hyper-V-files. I have made some modifications to the template files and can now deploy almost any configuration of a server without even have to log on to it.
And the absolutely best part of this whole build is that the "server" is so quite! Since I have it in my office at home I wanted it to be really quite and the only fan (running) is the fan for the water cooling. If I put me ear to the case I can hear some "bubbling" noise but from a meter I can't even tell if it's on or not. Witch is great working at night as I'm doing right now…
So now when I have a working lab again I promise I will continue my series on how to migrate to Exchange 2013! Stay tuned for part 2!

Tesla and Amazon drive the shorts crazy
The shorting process is lifting these stocks and making them hard to value.
Hard-to-value stocks are such bummers. How do you value a car company that makes only 21,000 cars, even as it makes money on them? How do you value an online company that dominates Internet commerce?
The answer is simple: You don't. You can't. You can't, because there's a confluence, an actual formula, for what's going on here. You take a service or product that is much loved, you verify constantly that it is loved, whether it be because of the rapid adoption of the online service or a terrific rating in Consumer Reports, and you add in sudden profitability and a chance for long-term dominance and then sprinkle on nonbelievers who short the stock because the usual valuation works are defied, and they can't be defied forever. The result? You get Tesla Motors (TSLA) at $10 billion, and you get Amazon (AMZN) at 220 times earnings.
Now, the mechanics of the stock market are working in favor of these two stocks -- the mechanics meaning the difficulty of the short-selling process. You can't just sell stock when you short; you have to borrow stock to sell it, and that has been very difficult in the case of Tesla, where 41% of the stock is sold short. Anyone who buys this stock is the enemy of the shorts, because the shorts are going to demand that stock. The shorts are frantic to find stock, and when they can't, the brokers just buy the stock in to cover the short.
Amazon is a stock that seasoned professionals think it is their duty to short. They feel it is just very important to bet against a company with that high a price-to-earnings ratio.
The shorts don't care that Amazon might take over the world. They think it is priced as if it will. Which means there is nowhere but down. But the bulls say that the company is spending like crazy to be the biggest and the best, and that means that when it wants to, it will show the profitability that makes the price-to-earnings multiple much lower.
Tesla? What can I say? The simple truth is that it is a really cool car, and my friends who have them love them. I would like to get one. I bet that many who are short the stock would like to get one. In the meantime, the CEO does an equity offering to pay off a despised government loan, and the CEO buys a ton of it! That was supposed to be the chance for the shorts to cover.
No such luck. Not enough stock. So the short-busting continues.
I know when I can value something, and I know when I can't. I can't value either of these companies, so my bottom line is that they are dangerous both ways, for gamblers who gamble without an edge, so count me out. I will let others do the wagering.

As far as shorts go, currency and commodities are in and stocks are out. The Euro has been dropping nicely and we're looking for at least another half penny down.
The Republican Party has for years insisted that they were the party of capitalism, of the "." However, when the opportunity to show this appears, they instead do everything they can to prevent a free market from forming. Tesla Motors is now calling them on it, after North Carolina voted on a bill designed to eliminate their direct sales model, which bypasses the traditional 3rd party dealer system. As , the new law would ban direct sales, forcing auto makers to sell through a dealer even if it is a direct purchase from the manufacturer. This directly injured Tesla's ability to sell in the state, but even more concerning, it limits future innovation in the auto sales industry.
The is a giveaway to the traditional auto dealer model. It protects them from competition by direct auto sales. This would not just prohibit sales from Tesla motors either, but from specialty auto manufacturers such as , and , who do direct sales of their vehicles. The difference between them and Tesla is that these auto makers are small, typically hand built machines with a niche market, while Tesla is a m****duction, mass marketed vehicle on par with much larger auto makers. And this is what is making the dealers very nervous.

DALTON, GA (WRCB) -- Officers from the Dalton Police Department arrested three suspects after a pizza delivery driver was robbed at knifepoint late Tuesday night on Commerce Drive.
Joshua Garcia, 18, and Jonathon Paul Gilreath, 19, were arrested and charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault. A 14-year old juvenile suspect was also arrested in the case.
The incident happened shortly after 11:00 p.m. Tuesday night when an order was placed for a pizza to be delivered to an apartment at 500 Commerce Drive. When the victim arrived to deliver the pizza, he was met in the parking lot by the three suspects.
One of the men, later identified as Garcia, told the driver that he had forgotten his wallet inside his apartment. The suspect went and knocked on an apartment door, and then came back saying that he'd locked his keys inside.
The victim told investigators that after waiting a few minutes he became uncomfortable and decided to leave. When he turned around to get the pizzas off of the roof of his car to leave, he said that one of the suspects, later identified as Gilreath, grabbed the victim from behind and told him that he had a knife.
The victim told police he struggled briefly but then stopped when he felt the point of a blade at his throat. The victim told police that Garcia then stole $70 in cash tips that he had in a pocket and the three suspects fled on foot heading east on Underwood Street. When DPD officers got the call, they immediately began to search the area for the suspects as another officer interviewed the victim. Officers began to search the Park Place apartments at 515 Underwood Street, near the incident location.
A DPD investigator received information regarding in which apartment the suspects were hiding, and officers made contact with the suspects. After the victim identified them as the men involved in the robbery, officers found a knife matching the description of the knife used in the robbery and also a pizza warming bag with the pizzas inside.
At that point, the three suspects were placed under arrest.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

Commodity prices can be roaring, but as long has globalization drives down wages at home, as it has for the last 30 years, their overall impact will be modest, at best. So add it all together, and you get an inflation rate that is stagnant at low single digits. You are obviously not working hard enough.
I am interested in all this because I have a dog in this fight. I happen to be short out of the money call spreads on the Treasury bond ETF (TLT). I also have more than a passing interest in the (TBT), a leveraged ETF that bets that the Treasury bond interest rates will rise and prices will fall. I used to think that a resurgence of inflation would take it from the current $14.50 to $200. I don't believe that anymore. I instead think we will see a rise only to $43, which equates to a ten year Treasury bond yield of 4.10%, up from today's 1.45%.
That is still a potential gain of nearly 300%, which is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick in this zero return world. And that middling profit will not be delivered by a reincarnation of the inflation beast, but by the sheer volume of issuance of bonds demanded by our enormous budget deficits.

Along with the now standard advice from financial planners to focus on large, dividend paying stocks and ultra-short term bonds, he's advising clients to stash real estate investment trusts into the alternative asset portion of a balanced portfolio. Rosenberg has stopped recommending commodities, including gold, to clients. "Commodities are dead," he says. "They expand with economic growth." And that has become a scarce commodity recently.
Financial planners also advise sticking with a long-term strategy, especially when saving up for distant goals like your children's college tuition or your own retirement. Yet the best of them are constantly tweaking their clients' portfolios to adjust to the markets ups and downs.
The above portfolio allocator is from the Smart Money article link below. It is one of 12 portfolios, by allocation, based upon a 'life-stage' scenario (example of one shown above).
All portfolios, of course, have a few commonalities. One of which, is 'cash' !
So, the question is: Where can you get cash-like investments outside of a boring savings account? Outside of low-yielding bonds?
Look no further than our 'Where to Stash Your Cash' section inside the Vault.

But you shouldn't limit yourself to the world of ADRs. Doing so may eliminate some otherwise great investment opportunities.
Consider BMW, which I mentioned above. I love BMW for precisely the same reasons I like Daimler. Luxury German cars are an aspirational status symbol around the world, but particularly in emerging markets. I consider BMW a fine "backdoor" way to profit from the rise of China's nouveau riche, and the company's operating results have been nothing short of stellar even in the midst of a European debt crisis.
BMW had record profits in 2011 and raised its dividend to a new record level. More rises are likely. I'd prefer the ease of buying BMW as an ADR, but I would be perfectly comfortable buying it on the German exchange as well.
Much the same could be said for the two fashion brands I mentioned above. I love ADR-traded LVMH as an indirect bet on emerging market growth. But if I love LVMH, why would I also not love Burberry or Prada? All three companies are wildly profitable, have incredible brand equity and cater to the taste of high-income earners in Asia and elsewhere.
As capital markets become more globally integrated and information more dispersed, the barriers to buying and selling locally-traded shares are getting smaller.
Most large, foreign blue chip companies publish their annual reports in an English version, and even for those that do not there is usually ample data available to help you in your decision making. Reporting standards do vary from country to country, but this should be no impediment to a motivated investor willing to roll up his sleeves and do a little research.

Billionaire investor and Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban "likes" Facebook, but he doesn't love it.
In a blog post, Cuban says he has snatched up 150,000 shares of Facebook. Specifically, he says he bought 50,000 shares at $33 a pop, 50,000 at $31.97 and another 50,000 at $32.50.
But he doesn't have any plans of holding these shares for the long term. Far from it.
"It's a trade, not an investment," Cuban says. "Kind of like buying a Mickey Mantle, a Hank Aaron and a Barry Bonds rookie card knowing there is a card show in town next week."
Facebook shares closed up 3.2% at $33.03. So, he's in the money. The stock is still down 13% from its $38 IPO price.
Facebook's trading debut last week was marred by technical glitches at Nasdaq, prompting the exchange to delay the social network's opening trade by about a half hour. The confusion left investors unsure of whether their orders to buy and sell shares had been fulfilled.
The Facebook IPO destroyed investor sentiment at a time when confidence was already extremely low, Cuban says.

There's a saying on Wall Street: There's no such thing as a safe investment, only one whose risks aren't yet apparent. Investors keep learning it all over again. J.P. Morgan Chase stock, anyone? Best Buy?
How about some Greek government bonds? After all, they're members of the euro zone now, they should be fine!
At least here you'll know you're gambling. And you're getting paid for the risks.
So, in the words of Clint Eastwood's steel-nerved Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan: "You've got to ask yourself a question. 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
If you're looking for cheap fuel, this is it. Uranium prices have collapsed 30% since the Fukushima tragedy in Japan last year. A pound of uranium traded for $140 in 2007. Today: $52.
Since Fukushima, governments have scaled back plans for new reactors. Germany is going nuke-free. But it's not the whole story. World energy demand is expected to rise 40% over 20 years. Getting there without more nuclear reactors will be especially tough. Meanwhile, the world hardly mines enough uranium to feed the reactors that already operate. Uranium is well below replacement cost.
Uranium Participation is a Canadian closed-end fund which owns physical uranium in a warehouse, the way a gold fund owns gold. The stock, which trades under the symbol "U" on the Toronto Stock Exchange and as "URPTF" in the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market, trades for about 20% below the net asset value.
Way out in the Alaskan wilderness, in the far, far northwest, is an area known as Donlin Creek. There is gold in them thar hills. Lots of it.
Developers say they've found at least 34 million ounces of "proven and probable" reserves—with a gross value today of $54 billion—and there is almost certainly much more.
The Donlin Creek gold project is 50%-owned by Barrick Gold, one of the world's largest gold-mining companies, and 50%-owned by NovaGold, a small one. At $5 and change a share, NovaGold is valued at $1.7 billion.
It will be many years—maybe eight—before Donlin Creek actually starts producing its first ounces of gold. There is many a slip between cup and lip.
Gold exploration is famously exciting for investors, and not always in a good way. In this case you are taking a flyer on production, and on the future of gold prices.
Some really smart people have joined the gamble on this stock, including hedge-fund managers Seth Klarman and John Paulson and Fidelity Investments' star fund manager Will Danoff. Speculative, but fun.

Co-Contributors: Deron Desautels, Membership Manager; Heather Vale Goss, Associate Editor
Under the Education & Ideas folder inside the Vault, we have an article titled: "Why HYIPers Keep Speculating In Pork Bellies."
In it, Barry outlines the departing wisdom he got, from a grizzled ol' commodity trading veteran of 30 years, named Richard.
This mentor of his — for 6-months — practically dragged him back into his office by the back of his shirt collar to throw down some departing raw "money-growing secrets" as he called them.
Whether it was out of a sheer desire to instill final lessons of the game of money upon him, or just out of an 'I owe him this much so he can pass it on' yearning, we can't say for sure.
However, what we do know, without question, is this:
Human psychology 301 lets us predict our foibles, one of which is that the embarrassment of our inabilities (represented by our mind fooling itself into seeing instant riches upon our doorstep) can vastly outweigh our thinking and reasoning ability to humbly ask questions.
Questions are powerful. Actually, to be more dramatic, they are cardinal to your existence. To re-quote Jeffrey Gitomer of The Sales Bible fame, with a twist:
"They are to 'risk-capital' [sales] as breath is to life. If you fail to ask them, you will die. If you ask them incorrectly, your death won't be immediate, but it's inevitable. If you ask them correctly, the answer is… a likely return ON capital [sale]."
One head-scratching question that Richard asked Barry one fine day in the summer of '94 is:
"So why do so many people lose money trading in the markets while others consistently make hundreds of thousands — even millions — of dollars each year?"
Richard certainly had some answers to his own question. After all, when you have that much experience doing something, and doing it well, you can't help but notice things.
And, without sounding trite or having you picture us as the proverbial strict ruler-in-the-hand teacher, if you're spending any amount of your time or money participating in speculative, higher-risk investing vehicles (the kind, ya know, where your return is solely based off the price movement of a tradable asset, and not so much on the sustained long-term value of the asset), you'd better have eyes wide open.
Now, before we continue with our tongue-in-cheek perspective below, you should know that throughout this article, you will find links to articles and reports we've written that give insights and lessons learned based on our experience with investments and growing our money (or, in some cases, attempting to do so without success).
We have learned the hard way — just as you may have too — that sometimes our expectations aren't reached; and, sometimes our worst fears come true.
That being said, you should know that we have a combined 50 years of direct experience in this industry. When you add on the wisdom of mentors long past, it probably nears 100 years' worth of wisdom (er, "caution" is more like the word we were thinking).
Most of the time, losses boil down to a few simple sins. Simple, we say… but not so much easy to employ. Humans are humans after all, and for every old man in Las Vegas still hitting on seventeen at the BlackJack table, there will be a middle-aged woman driving ten miles out of her way to use a $.50 coupon on milk.
Yup, some people never learn. Sure, we get that at times the problems can be traced to the system, market, or trading approach itself but most of the time, in our experience, it all boils down to our own flawed and reckless human behavior.
More on that shortly…

Suds stocks fall into one of two categories:
Megabrews with world-dominating brands — companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD), Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE:TAP) and SABMiller (PINK:SBMRY).
Smaller companies that produce mostly craft beers, such as the Boston Beer Company (NYSE:SAM), the maker of the popular Sam Adams, and Craft Brew Alliance (NASDAQ:BREW), which makes smaller brands Kona and Red Hook.
Either option can make a fine investment choice, but you should understand that the rationales for buying are very different.
BUD, TAP and SBMRY essential operate a megabrand beer cartel. Their businesses are safe and relatively stable, though not particularly exciting.
They also tend to be fairly recession-resistant. If anything, consumers often trade down from more expensive craft beers to cheaper mass-market beers when times are hard. For investors just looking for consistent returns, this kind of consistency is attractive.
SAM and BREW, being smaller and nimbler, are better growth stories. SAM in particular has enjoyed fantastic earnings growth in recent years, and its niche placement as a seller of premium beers allows it to generate higher returns on equity.

As an ex-Wall Street Institutional Investor ranked analyst, I've written on many stocks and IPOs before, including: LNKD IPO (here), BankRate IPO (here), and even a piece on Facebook back in 2007 where I argued Yahoo! needed to buy Facebook (here) for $6-7b.
Importantly on Facebook, I think when one looks at the company's potential, it's paramount that one thinks bigger picture and longer term – this post is predicated on this.
In the essence of being succinct, below I point out my Top 5 reasons I'm bullish on Facebook long term, as well as my Top 5 concerns. There are an endless number of items for each list, but I think these items sum up the major points.
1 – Facebook is a Force Majeure @ 900m Users – Facebook dominates one of the largest forces on the Internet, Social. It clearly embodies everything we do that's social from posting pictures, to sharing our real time thoughts, to connecting with old friends, to making new friends.
It reflects how we behave offline and exemplifies how social behaviors pervade much of what we do on a daily basis. Facebook is the king of one of human's most basic communication needs – sharing. Further, the company has managed to expand outside its own website or app.
3 – Mobile Monetization is Just Starting – Facebook grew revenues ~45% in the most recent quarter – that's impressive. However, what is most astounding, is that >50% of its monthly users visit the platform via a mobile device and these users haven't been monetized yet. Facebook is just starting to monetize >50% of its user base! Imagine the lift in the financials from not only growing the users, but by merely monetizing over one-half of the current un-monetized base.

Facebook's initial public offering is slated for May 18, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Between now and then, management will go on its "roadshow" to explain its strategy to potential investors, and excitement over the deal is likely to grow.
The IPO details suggest a valuation of $77 billion to $96 billion, and shares could easily open much higher than the offering price. So Facebook may sell for 10 times revenues or more by the time ordinary investors buy in, more than five times as expensive as the average stock.
Then again, the statistics say not to buy scratch-off lottery tickets, but states will nonetheless sell more than $30 billion worth of them this year.
For Facebook fans who care more about the "how" than the "why" or "why not", here are some guidelines:

Capone shares fond and traumatic high school remembrances with THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER author/writer/director Stephen Chbosky!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
Stephen Chbosky has had an interesting and not exactly linear career. After writing, directing and starring in the 1995 independent film THE FOUR CORNERS OF NOWHERE (one of the first films to go into heavy rotation when the Sundance Channel was created), he wrote one of the quintessential books about young adults, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, an autobiographical tale of his time as a high school freshman being taken under the collective wing of a group of outcast seniors. The novel was published the the fledgling MTV Books in 1999 and became a best seller almost immediately.
In the 2000s, Chbosky took on a variety of work, including writing the screenplay for the film adaptation of RENT and helping to create the cult series "Jericho," which was one of the first cancelled network shows brought back to life thanks to a letter-writing campaigns by fans; the show died early in its second season. But Chbosky has always wanted to take a crack at turning PERKS into a movie, which is what he did. He took on the added burden of being the film's director as well, and he's put together a remarkable film starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson (in her first film since the HARRY POTTER films), and a star-making turn by Ezra Miller.
When I introduced PERKS to a Chicago audience a few weeks back, I said, "If you had a pulse in high school, you'll be able to identify with at least one character in this movie," and I stand by that statement. Chbosky has made a movie testament to the power of good friends during tough times. And I know so many people who were befriended during high school by elder classmen just because they were good people. I remember getting to know junior and senior members of the drama department of my high school, and my passion for and knowledge about movies was the launch pad for our friendship.
The morning after a fantastic Q&A with Chbosky, I got to sit down with him. I found out he's stayed a whole hour after the movie, signing books and ticket stubs, and posing for every photo. He appreciates every fan, and is rightfully proud of his movie, which beautifully captures the insecurity and vulnerability of people that age both in the early 1990s and today. Please enjoy my talk with Stephen Chbosky…
Stephen Chbosky: What's up, man?
Capone: Since a few hours ago? Not much. I heard you were there for a while after I left.
SC: Yeah, there were a lot of kids that brought books, and I signed a lot of tickets. What was really gratifying was the people who were like, "I've never heard of your book, but I'm going to buy it now." I'm like, "That's music to my ears. Thank you."
Capone: That's really the goal, to get that kind of response.
SC: It's really sweet.
Capone: One of the things that occurred to me seeing the film the first time was that this is a story that embraces really kind people. Sure, you've got a few bullies in the mix, but you don't really linger on them. It's really just about good people. There's no trumped-up villain. That's a risky thing I think these days, not to have like something to fight against, or maybe they are fighting against something that's a little more intangible.
SC: God, what a great compliment. Thank you. Kind people interest me, and the struggles of kind people interest me, and even the two, if you could even call them more troubled souls--if it's Brad or if it's Aunt Helen--it was very important to me to now vilify those characters, to see what's human and what's troubled about them. Yeah, I have no time or interest in assholes, I just don't.
Capone: In fact, Charlie might do the meanest thing in the whole story. He might do the worst thing at least in the context of the high school story.
SC: He does, but in a way, every now and then, it really hurts to be honest.
Capone: It came up yesterday about how you don't really give physical descriptions of the characters in your book. Was it tough to commit to a look, an actual type?
SC: Honestly, I just looked at the talent of the actor and the nature of their personality. I was casting actors, yes, but I was casting people, and it's what they all brought. I mean I originally thought Charlie would be blonde. I originally thought that Sam would have green eyes. But then once they audition, and you meet them you realize "No, this is the person." It was really easy to let go. Also something that helped me a great deal when I made the movie was I knew I had the book. I had the book exactly the way I wanted it, and so it was exciting to see how certain cast members made the story evolve.
Capone: Yeah. Was it tough in a bigger sense that you have this first-person account in the book. Everything that we read, Charlie has written in that book and it's his perception more than maybe reality. Whereas in a movie, you are committing. Even though he is narrating it, it's more finite.
SC: It is. Yeah, that was tricky, because in the book, Charlie could just say, "Patrick is so funny," and because Charlie is a credible narrator, we just accept that Patrick is funny, and we love Patrick as Charlie loves Patrick. The trick and the challenge in adapting was I had to basically create a movie where each audience member felt as Charlie would feel about all of the characters, and that was a real challenge.
Capone: How did you get through that? What was the breakthrough?
SC: It was the decision that I made about the character of Michael [Charlie's best friend prior to high school]. I knew that part of the backstory is that Michael killed himself, and when I said, "Alright, I'm going to bring it up in this moment at that party, and in this way, I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. I'm going to blindside the audience. They know something is going on with him, but they don't quite know what it is, and then when he says that without sentiment. It's not "Oh, woe is me." He's not pitying himself. He's not a victim. It's just a part of this life and this thing that he carries around.
That gave me the whole aesthetic for Charlie and really the movie to just show some restraint and don't be melodramatic, be truthful and respectful about what this experience is for kids. In terms of Patrick, what I found was that once I got to the football game and once those three were together, and I so enjoyed writing their banter, like "What's your favorite song?" or the lines like, "You can write about us." "Yeah, call it 'Slut and the Falcon'." I just fell in love with these kids and loved the way that they interacted with each other.
Capone: With Charlie's announcement that his best friend had killed himself--I had not read the book--I had assumed that that was going to be something that we dealt with later and we don't really, but you said that you actually did shoot some scenes or a scene…
SC: I shot one flashback scene with David, and what I found was that Aunt Helen was the ghost of the past, that there wasn't really room for two and that two was emotionally somewhat confusing for the audience and for me. My editor, Mary Jo Markey, gave me a great piece of advice. She said, "Listen Steve, you wrote the book, so every one of these characters is huge to you, but that's not true for someone that's never seen it or never read it. You can let go sometimes."
Capone: That's got to be a tough piece of advice to follow, letting go.
SC: It is. Listen, I knew the book so well, but that's why it was lovely to have the book and to embrace the collaborative nature of it. So [producers] Lianne [Halfon] and Russ [Smith] gave me so much great advice along with [producer] John Malkovich and Mary Jo Markey. So many people helped me, and I needed help.
Capone: You mentioned yesterday that you had been thinking about turning this into a screenplay for a while before you actually did it. Was directing also the intention this whole time?
SC: Always. Since day one, I was never going to let this go without making it myself, and that's why when I wrote it, I didn't sell it and then go through three years of development. I just saved my money from "Jericho" and I lived on that and I wrote this screenplay on spec. Once it was ready to go out, that's when I got my producers, and I did one more draft with some of their input, and then we got Emma and then we got Logan and never got a script note from the studio.
It was the only way to do it, because it was so personal to me, and I'm not a jerk, and a lot of directors that get their own way can be really, really tough personalities to deal with, and I was never going to be that guy, because I'm a gentle kind of person. So I had to just be very prepared in order for it to come out the way I wanted it. But yes, I was always going to direct it. It was the dream. This moment right now as it's coming out, this is a 21 years in the making dream right now.
Capone: That also means that if it's no good and it comes out bad it's all on you.
SC: [Laughs] It's all on me, 100 percent. It was the biggest risk of my career, easily. What I found was I had to do it. Like I said last night, it woke up my love of writing novels and it woke up my love of filmmaking. I love directing. I love it. Full disclosure, when I went in, I said, "I could hate this. I could hate the collaborative nature and feel like everyone is trying to take from this story," and it was just the opposite. I love the actors. I love the crew. It was a great experience. I can't wait to make another movie.
Capone: I'm guessing when the book came out--and I'm sure you'll be getting another round of it when the movie comes out--people said to you, "This is my story." I know with the group of critics that I saw it with last week, there were about five of us that hung around talking about the movie and the parallels your story had to our own experiences. I think three of the five of us, we had been "adopted" by upper classmen in the theater department in our high schools, which is not the case in your story, but they do sahre a love of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. All the theater people I knew took me to ROCKY HORROR. Do you get sick of hearing stories likes that?
SC: Never in a million years. You have to understand, you're a writer; so am I. We're the writer types, and the writer types were always a little bit left of center and maybe we are a little precocious for certain ages, and so we would seek that out. We would seek out that guidance and those experiences. So yeah, I don't get sick of hearing it. I think it's great.
Here's the magic trick with PERKS: I write it for personal reasons, and then you publish it and you very deliberately make the movie to make certain people not feel alone, whether it's kids or even adults who might have gone through some of these things, and every person that comes up to you and says, "This is my story," the person that doesn't feel alone is me. That's the whole thing. How could I ever get sick of that? How could I ever get sick of "Hey, you know those things that have been inside of you that you have been obsessed with, or you felt alone with? Guess what, you're not."
Capone: So you wrote a book to reveal your own support system.
SC: [laughs] No, I didn't. When I say it was a "magic trick," I mean I didn't anticipate this. But the response was so overwhelming that you think, "Oh, it wasn't just me," and it's the best, man. That's why talking and doing interviews, I could talk about it all day and I have at times. I'm just starting now, and people are like, "Oh man, you're going to burn out." No. Because you bring a completely different thing than anybody I've talked to today. It would astound you. It's different every time, because every person is different.
Capone: Do you think if you wrote the book today and set it in the present, that it would be a different story? People don't really make mix tapes anymore. People don't write letters.
SC: It would be a different story, yes. I wanted to capture that last time before the internet and cell phones changed everything. It changed communication. It changed how people relate. It's like this last bit of nostalgia, but filmed in a way that's kind of timeless, because I don't make the biggest deal about the early '90s, because I didn't want it to exclude kids. I didn't want it to feel outside of their own experience, so I just avoided the whole internet and cellphone subject.
Capone: Many of your literary references are mentioned there on the page and on the screen, but what your film touchstones for this movie?
SC: I studied what I consider to be classic coming-of-age stories, starting with REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, written by Stewart Stern, and I was one of the few people lucky enough where I read it before I saw it. It's an amazing screenplay that he wrote. THE GRADUATE, HAROLD AND MAUDE, STAND BY ME, DEAD POETS SOCIETY, and BREAKFAST CLUB. BREAKFAST CLUB was very much out of the '80s in style and other elements. But I remember how I felt when I saw it and I remember that it so spoke to me directly and I wanted to capture or pay tribute to that spirit.
Capone: I saw THE BREAKFAST CLUB in high school so I knew John Hughes was speaking to me. But it is that relatability that you've got that helps win the day. There's something for everyone.
SC: There is and again when I wrote the book, that was not deliberate at all. It was a fiercely personal story to me and it was lovely to learn what was personal to me was universal to some folks, and I just followed that with the movie. The novel I wrote with blinders on, because I was just in my little room in New York City. Now I know what it is and I want to pay tribute to the fans.
Capone: I did want to talk about the cast and in particular Emma, because as strange as it might seem, I think she was the biggest gamble in your movie in terms of casting, because she brings a certain baggage with her. What was the deciding factor for you in having her in the movie?
SC: I thought she was an incredibly talented young actress and such a nice person. When I met her, I just knew it was there. I knew it, and I had so much faith in her and still have. Really, the sky is the limit for this girl, and she takes it so seriously and she's such a hard worker that I didn't feel the gamble. I just felt like it was going to work. I just had faith, I really did. Maybe it was a gamble, I don't know.
I told a couple of Emma stories yesterday. This is actually my favorite one that I didn't tell, because it had nothing to do with filming; it had to do with what got us there. We had the script. We had her involvement. We had Logan, and we had these wonderful producers, and it took us about six or seven months to get financing and to get someone to say yes, which is really fast actually. What did it was her. She flew into L.A. and she had tons of meetings and she's being offered everything. She's turning down everything. And she would go to the heads of studio and say, "Make THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, and no one would." She finally had dinner with Erik Feig of Summit, and he was finally like "Okay, you want me to make PERKS. What is it about this movie?" She says, "I think this would prevent someone from killing themselves, and that's why I want to do it." That girl, at that dinner, she came to town and she got it done. She was 21 meeting with heads of studios going, "Make THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER."
Capone: Twenty one, but having made movies more than half her life.
SC: You know what? There are a lot of people that would not take an active role, that would just sit back and take in the offers and ride the wave. She doesn't do that. So there was no gamble. Any young person that took it that seriously and helped us get it made far more than I think most actors would, there's no gamble. She was going to be terrific and she is.
Capone: Was there any pressure to get that PG-13 rating, or had that always been the intention? There's a fair amount of drug use and sex, or at least sex talk.
SC: That was always my intention. The only thing I deliberately cut and it had nothing to do with the rating, but my own conscience, was the smoking, because I knew the power that that could have. I saw HEATHERS and was like, "Christian Slater looks so good smoking," and I had smoked for almost 20 years and I couldn't encourage anyone to do it. So that was deliberate on my part.
Capone: Self editing on your part.
SC: 100 percent. I knew the power of it. I'm no fool. I knew it was fine. I watched enough movies, whether it's JUNO or SOCIAL NETWORK or EASY A and all of these films, and I got a basic idea about what the rules were and I didn't feel I had to make any compromises whatsoever. It was, "You're allowed to say the word 'fuck' one time." That's an actual rule and Ezra Miller got the "fuck."
Capone: That was a great line.
SC: That was pure Ezra. Originally, it was Logan with, "You touch my friends again, and I'll fucking blind you." But Ezra was so good that I used the other one. It was never supposed to be R rated, and even though the book has harsher language and a few more stories, they teach it in high schools. It was never supposed to be exploitative.
That was always the aim, and I never felt compromised from it. What was lucky for us is they gave us an R rating, and we went in and had an appeals hearing. Erik Feig and myself went in, and we spoke to 12 jury members of the MPAA, and they overturned it. We didn't have to touch a frame. They overturned it 9-to-3. I am so astonished that I was able to get the one thing that I desperately wanted to get, which was when the communion wafer becomes the tab of acid, and I actually had a version cut in case they wouldn't give it to us where you see the thing, and then the music changes, and you kind of know. That would have been so blasphemous.
Capone: There is some rule about actually showing the drug usage. You can show a kid exhaling pot smoke, but you can't show him inhale.
SC: Yeah, there were all of these rules. But be showed ingestion twice, but when you're able to go in and say, as much as I love SUPERBAD, and I thought it was great, this isn't SUPERBAD. There is a huge difference between what PERKS is doing and what SUPERBAD did.
Capone: Your argument was "intent"?
SC: The argument was they're concerned with what the vast majority of American parents will feel, and our point was, "Listen, this is taught in high schools. It's been in high schools for 10 years. Parents aren't going to be blindsided by that, they know what it is, so just let it happen," and luckily they agreed.
Capone: There are still so many things we could talk about. We didn't even get to the music stuff, but we covered a lot.
SC: Well listen, Steve, if you need more stuff, call me, alright?
Capone: Okay. Thank you so much. Take it easy.
SC: You too, and thanks for last night.

Chbosky is a true class act
by tensticks
I was lucky enough to be on a fly on the wall on set for the ROCKY HORROR scenes, and it was a true joy. Greatest memory, when Emma Watsons paused between takes doing her (very sexy) "Janet" Floor Show scenes and and announced loudly to the audience: "Hermione Granger is dead!" More recently, circumstances conspired to bring Mr. Chbosky as an unannounced guest to the National Rocky Horror Convention held in Phoenix, which I helped organize. He could not have been a nicer, more gracious, or more humble guy--he stayed till well after midnight talking to fans, signing autographs and taking pictures. And this was AFTER he had already done the same earlier that night at a screening, and several hours before that at a local bookstore. And it goes without saying the movie is amazing. He nailed the book, he nailed everything, and it is instantly a true coming of age classic. And yes, like Ms. Watson, I absolutely believe this movie will help save many lives and have a positive effect on many more. Stephen deserves every ounce of praise he gets for turning his story into everyone's story, with honesty, integrity and heart, and he deserves a long and fruitful career from this point as well. I'd continue gushing, but I have to get ready for another screening, this one with all my friends from the local ROCKY HORROR scene. Everyone, go see this movie, and you will swear that you are infinite.

Former Walton High School basketball star Ryan Harrow announced that he will visit five schools, including Georgia.
The 6-foot-1 point guard also intends to take trips to Kentucky, Louisville, St. John's and Texas, Harrow revealed on Twitter on Wednesday.
Harrow requested and was granted a scholarship release from North Carolina State after the coaching change with the condition he could not transfer to another ACC school.
As a freshman this past season, Harrow came off the bench for the first 16 games but ended up starting seven of the final eight. He averaged 9.3 points and 3.3 assists.
UGA's Mark Fox has already signed five players for his 2011 recruiting class but told the AJC recently that he may sign one more if he found a player he really liked.

This is a creative, totally unique, yet comfortingly familiar approach to Bible Study.

for teacher and student and the assumption is that all teachers have "personal

Testament. I highly recommend Grapevine Studies for home, Sunday, or small
group study.
Level 2 Review by Dr. Heather Allen
TOS Senior Analysis
I have had in my possession, for a couple of months, the Level 2 (i.e., 9-11 year old, 3rd - 6th grade) Old Testament Stick Figuring though the Bible, Teacher Edition and Student Edition notebooks for review. I actually reviewed them on receipt; however, two months later had still not written my review. Why? I guess the most honest answer to that question is that I was at a loss for words.
I love this curriculum. I think it simply and effectively presents a chronological study of the Old Testament using timelines, stick figure, symbols and colors. The 15-20 minute lessons are easy to prepare for and teach. The curriculum is comprehensive, but not overwhelming. The lessons are chronological and interactive employing reading, listening, and drawing. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of various learning styles, and each lesson is compatible across levels 1 through 4. Also, built-in reviews throughout the curriculum lead to high retention rates.
This is a great Bible study curriculum for all, whether churched or unchurched, and regardless of level of Bible knowledge. I plan on incorporating this study in our homeschool. I know I won't be disappointed.
Just so you know, you don't have to be a homeschooler to enjoy using Grapevine Stick Figuring works great as a family devotional, a discipleship tool, and even as a Sunday School curriculum. Learn more about the Granola4God blog!

Former Cumming resident Kelli Giddish hopes the third time is a charm.
She first starred in a short-run Fox show called "Past Life" in early 2010. The drama, shot in Atlanta, featured a group of investigators who use repressed memories of past lives to solve crimes. Only five episodes ever aired.
Giddish quickly nabbed a role starring on NBC's "Chase," which debuted in September and aired for 18 episodes. Giddish played Annie Frost, a U.S. Marshal tracking down dangerous criminals in Texas. Ratings were mediocre and NBC didn't give it a second season.
But NBC liked Giddish. Dick Wolf cast her on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" when Chris Meloni stepped down after 12 seasons. She plays Amanda Rollins, a former detective in Atlanta who moves to the Special Victims Unit as an admirer of Detective Olivia Benson, played by Emmy-winning actress Mariska Hargitay.
On tonight's episode, we learn of Det. Rollins' gambling addiction. A bookie who discovers what she does for a living gets her in trouble since she owes him $20,000. "He has leverage," Giddish said in an interview last week.
Giddish said she's not intimidated joining such a well-established show. "But it's definitely challenging," she said. "The crew and cast are family. You definitely feel like the new kid on the block."
This is her third law-enforcement "job" in a row: "I can't complain. I act like a little kid. I don't let my curiosity be dampened in any way."
The material on "SVU" is frequently dark, mining the "underbelly of society," as Giddish said. "I've had some really strange dreams," she said, since starting on the show.
While her character is a fan of Det. Benson, Giddish is an equal fan of Hargitay and appreciates Hargitay starting the Joyful Heart Foundation to help victims of sexual assault. "I've learned a lot from her in terms of being proactive and turning things on its head. I have a lot of respect for her and her foundation," Giddish said.
The loss of Meloni has not helped ratings of the show, which has dropped to its lowest to date, averaging around 7 to 8 million viewers.
Will "SVU" get a 14th season? "I'm hoping it gets renewed," Giddish said. "I don't see why it wouldn't." And given NBC's relative sorry state, it probably will.
Giddish visits Atlanta when she can. Her family is still here. She hung out over Christmas. "It was wonderful. I got down there and it was 70 degrees!" She said her brother Eli is back in show business as an accountant and is working on the new Fox Kevin Bacon pilot in town.

Yeah!! I loved Kelli in Chase and was disappointed when it disappeared………..she is a great actress………….love the moxie and spunk in her characters.

What is her connection to Atlanta? When did she live here? Did she go to school here? Who are her family here? This article reads like TV Guide.

Kelli went to Forsyth Central High School and graduated in 1998. Her family still lives in Cumming, I believe her mom still works at the school. She was very in to the arts dept. and won several championships with their one act team there. She is a true talent!!

Wow. Really? Who writes this crap? Better yet who watches it so they CAN write this crap. A "crack" detective breaks the law to the extent that she's 20 grand in the hole in illegal gambling to a bookie yet she's in an 'elite" unit.
Good luck to you Cummings lady, but I'd rather watch "Once upon a Time' with my 9 year old daughter. We have no pretense whatsoever that it is "real."

I think Kelli Giddish is fabulous and loved her in Past Life and Chase. I just can't bring myself to watch the utterly execrable Law and Order though. I wish she would move to a show I can stomach.

"And given NBC's relative sorry state, it probably will."
UGH! wow, talk about a back handed compliment.!! The ratings going down have little to do with meloni and more with the fact it has a crappy lead in. BUT it doubles its demo all the time which is WHY it stays on air and is still popular. Gimme a break with ratings slide because of CM. . The show is better then it sbeen in years!

Oh for Pete's sake, we all know Rodney isn't a top notch journalist. Who cares? This is a blog not an op-ed piece. All that matters is we're getting a little insight into a favorite character from a show that some of actually like, who just happens to be a GA native. I for one was not aware that Kelli was from Cummings (so is my brother-in-law, wonder if they knew each other, now how silly is that???). I also happen to be a big fan of Kelli's. I loved her in Chase and still find myself calling her "Annie". Her character on SVU is very similar to the one she played on Chase. Which I suspect has a lot to do with Kelli's own personality shining through.
I do think Rodney should have made it clear that comment about NBC's sorry state was his (or whomever's) and not Kelli. Don't want NBC exec's thinking she's biting the hand that feeds her.

Curse You!
What should you do about your child's "garbage mouth"?
Gay Uncle Brett Berk: My friend Julie here on momlogic recently wrote a piece about her daughter's first curse word, expressing her concern about the girl dropping something and saying "Sh*t!" (She also placed responsibility for this word's existence in her kid's vocabulary on a recent viewing of a Jim Carrey movie -- a form of child abuse we'll address in another column.) Still, before Julie freaks, or gets out the soap, I'd like to present another perspective.
Try as you may to avoid using what my third-grade teacher called a "garbage mouth" in front of your kid, they're inevitably going to be exposed to the wonders of four-letter words -- by you, by their peers, by hearing Lil Jon at the club. Swearing is an expressive and exciting part of our language. I love to curse when the situation demands it -- and sometimes when it doesn't. Perhaps you do too. But young kids don't have our contextual understanding of proper or improper usage, so when they try cursing -- like with most other things they do -- they're attempting to test the boundaries of propriety and acceptability. It's YOUR JOB to provide these parameters. Probably more than once.
I personally have much less trouble with young kids swearing than I do with them engaging in violent or weapon play, so long as they do it properly and without intending harm to others. Calling another child an "A**hole" when they cut the line for the slide is unacceptable. But I see absolutely no problem with a kid screaming, "Sh*t!" when they drop a block on their toe.
However, you may feel different. So when your kid tries out a new curse word, let them know your stance. If you think it's not appropriate, say so. If you think it's OK at home, but not at school, make that rule. But be sure to state your invocations clearly and calmly. If you freak out and act like your kid has just blasphemed, or called Michelle Obama a skeezy slut, they're not going to get the right message. And don't be afraid to let them know that these are words only adults can use, if that's how you feel. There are plenty of things grown-ups are allowed to do -- drive, drink alcohol, watch reruns of "Falcon Crest" -- that are not appropriate for children. This is not a relationship among equals.
Finally, as with anything else you're trying to put the kibosh on with your kids, be sure to use the Gay Uncle's patented E.A.R. method.
Explain: Tell them how you feel and what your rules are
Adjust: Give them the scaffolding needed to comprehend and incorporate this information
Redirect: Provide them with viable and approved options for what they can do instead.
|Brett Berk, M.S. Ed. has worked with young children and their families for over 20 years--as a classroom teacher, preschool director, and research consultant--and is the author of "The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting."
We use your suggestions at our preschool when the kids use language that we call "strong." Sometimes, I think ignoring it is an even better suggestion.
I agree, ignoring can sometimes be effective. I find with my kids that if we draw attention to what we call "bathroom words", they tend to want to say them more! However providing acceptable alternatives is a great suggestion!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"Haste will boost HoTs in a big way. Probably will not linearly shorten their duration with same overall heal/damage. Maybe haste on tree druid HoTs acting as a final swelled burst of healing done, kinda as if +damage didn't add to 'lock curse of agony evenly over the duration but added extra oomphto the late bigger ticks. Lifebloom Bomb. +Heal to tick bigger earlier or +haste to go nuts later if you can time it. Complicated mechanic, so unlikely. Be fun though."
The only way HoTs could be effective with haste is if the heal time was affected. At the moment, even with the GCD reduction with haste, HoTs with haste is useless. You get to pour more HoTs on more people, but it won't help you heal a single person faster. Raid healing is delegated to CoH priests and shamans, not druids.
"Talent to trigger HoTs to immediately heal for a sizeable fraction of full ticks' potential. On a timer."
We already have that. It's called Swiftmend.
"New spells added with long cast times, haste required to effectively use them."
We already have that. It's called Healing Touch, yet it's still not used.
"More spike damage on tanks, which mitigation won't entirely scale to cover."
Highly unlikely. Spike Damage (a.k.a. crushing blows) is already something the devs want to reduce.
More raid healing required.
A healing misdirect-style pull for five mans.
"Spell with a big single target + small aoe splash heal effect. May or may not cross groups. (Be nice a nice talent for holy priests, no?)"
Chain Heal. Or CoH.
"Pallies will get a very powerful cone, group crossing, aoe heal on a long timer. Don't think this will happen but it'd be fun. Hey, they want to not stand in the back rows, right? Be interesting in practice, run in or stand back and try to keep tank up and let more DPS go down? Nice balance with being best single target & having DI."
They had consecrate heal people before, and it got taken out fast.

A Tree Becomes a Book Becomes a Tree
We love to see great looking and creative tree branch shelves for the nursery. This new tree bookshelf by designer/artist Shawn Soh really fits the bill.
We would love to have one adorning a wall in the play area, stacked with our favorite story books. You can see more photographs of this tree shelf here although much of it is in Korean.

I am in love with this shelf. How can I get it?
Love it! I would love to know how to purchase it as well.
Love this shelf - want one for the playroom!
How great!
This is awesome - I love it!
Me too! Love it how to purchase????
sweet! i love this. of course, in our boys' room, there would be stacks of books (like fallen leaves?) all around the base of the tree, because they wouldn't nearly all fit. that's okay, though. it's still awesome.
really really amazing!!
That is adorable....I would love that in my boy's nursery
I want one too!
anybody able to find out if it's availabe for purchase? and how much?

The victim of last months attack is currently suing the basketball legend for $4 million for injuries that he gained from the fight that put him in the hospital due to head injuries.The fight started outside of a restaurant in Malibu, California. The victim, Camran Shafigi, reportedly was asking the former Chicago Bulls star for a picture and autograph. Pippen claimed that Shafigi became irate and called him a vulgar name. The victim says that the attack was completely unprovoked and that he did not deserve the reaction that he got. I have never heard of someone getting the crap kicked out of them for no reason at all but if he says so then I guess we should take his word for it.
When Pippen was brought in for questioning he was cooperative with the officers who were investigating the incident. He was not charged at the time. The law suit was filed on Thursday Pippen is a seven time NBA All Star who currently serves as an advisor to the Chicago Bulls. I would not be surprised if Pippen ends up having to pay the Shafigi the $4 million since he did hit the man and put him the hospital.
