1. Flatten down each roll to prepare for cutting. This will form a fold at both the top and bottom to create the leaf shape.
2. Using your ruler, mark cutting lines depending on what thickness you want the wreath to be. The example shown used 1.5 inches, but you can go with whatever you think looks best. Cut along these guidelines to create as many individual leaf shapes as you can.
3. You will end up with a massive pile of toilet paper roll leaves.
4. Now start arranging the pieces into a wreath shape. Use a salad plate as a template to line the pieces up against. Lay a single ring of pieces around the plate to form the wreath's base.
5. Hot glue the pieces together to form a complete circle. This will form the inner edge of the wreath. Once this ring is complete, arrange the rest of the pieces around it in any fashion you like.
6. Arrange all the pieces in one layer at a time. Glue all the pieces in that layer before moving on to the next layer.
7. You could stop here, paint it, or add glitter and ribbon; the possibilities are endless. The wreath featured here was decorated using wax paper flowers, tan gross grain ribbon bows, and a few gold ornaments.
8. You might end up with extra leaves from your cardboard tubes, but don't let those go to waste! You could use them to make a mini wreath, or cut them into thinner widths to make gift wrapping adornments.
9. Be sure to hang your wreath indoors as it is not waterproof.

Great Idea but I would use paper towel rolls instead of toilet paper rolls. Toilet paper rolls are very unsanitary!

The latest development in a major debate over a controversial hypothesis of biodiversity and species abundance is the subject of a paper to be published in the 1 November 2007 issue of the journal Nature. The authors report good agreement between the species richness of two of the world's most vulnerable ecosystems -- tropical forests and coral reefs -- and a simple mathematical model building on the so-called "neutral theory of biodiversity." "We're helping to refine and improve this theory because it might have important implications for the effort to protect terrestrial biodiversity from climate change and urban development," says Jayanth Banavar of the Department of Physics at Penn State, a member of the research team.
The Nature paper is based on a counterintuitive assumption of neutral theory: that one can largely ignore interactions between species in modeling patterns of species abundance. The authors are physicists Igor Volkov and Jayanth Banavar of Penn State University, plant biologist Stephen Hubbell of UCLA (formerly of the University of Georgia), and physicist Amos Maritan of the University of Padua in Italy.
Among ecological theorists, neutral theory has sparked a six-year quarrel over the fundamental assumptions of their discipline. The Nature paper counters another scientific team's claim in 2006 that coral-reef diversity "refutes" the neutral theory. At the same time, the paper by Volkov et al., to be published on 1 November 2007, modifies the classical version of neutral theory that appeared in a 2001 book by Hubbell. (Graham Bell of McGill University also developed a neutral theory independently of Hubbell.) Banavar, Maritan, Volkov, and their collaborators have been active in the development of a mathematical framework for understanding ecosystems that builds on and clarifies Hubbell's neutral theory.
"Despite its controversial nature, neutral theory has proved to be a good starting point for understandin

This beef was tasty, but the cooking time estimate was way different for me. and to produce a medium rare roast to a temp of 130 our cooking time had to be extended by an hour. Our entire dinner was delayed which was not great. The pancetta roasted tomato was also not incredibly flavorful.flag if inappropriate
I made this last year and the 8 of us who had a seat at the table absolutely loved it! In fact, I'm making it again tomorrow and can't wait to take my first bite and wash it down with a good glass of red wine. Followed the recipe exactly as written. Would not change a thing,flag if inappropriate

Nashville braces for major influx of apartment buildings
In the mid-1990s — long before dirt was moved for his Viridian and Encore condominium towers — Tony Giarratana held a vision at which many locals likely scoffed.
The Nashville-based developer strongly believed downtown needed a high-rise apartment building — despite the city's having seen, for years prior, minimal construction of large-scale rental residential buildings within four miles of the central business district.
Indeed, The Cumberland, which opened in 1998 on Church Street, was cutting-edge — if not in design, then clearly in model.
"It required a lot of selling, not just of The Cumberland to the residents but also the concept of the lifestyle," said Woody McLaughlin, a member of the Greater Nashville Apartment Association and that entity's expert on the city's rental residential property statistics.
"[But] Tony is a super salesman, and if anybody could have done it, Tony could."
And Giarratana did, as The Cumberland quickly garnered notice and popularity. However, it failed to spur additional large-scale urban apartment development. Instead, the early to mid-2000s saw a major construction boom of massive, multi-unit condominium buildings in Nashville's urban core.
The activity was, by Nashville standards, dramatic — and resulted in an overbuilding. The condo crash of 2008-'10 and a recession, which spurred many jobs-concerned folks who were considering buying to opt for renting instead, refocused attention on rental residential development. Now, developers of multiunit apartment buildings targeting urban districts are bullish on the city. In fact, Nashville is poised for the construction of 15 apartment buildings with 50 or more units each located within the city's Interstate 440 loop.
Five projects — Eleven North, Elliston 23, Midtown Place, Ryman Lofts and Vista Germantown — are under construction.
By spring, onsite work could possibly have begun on six others — the Centennial Park-area Park 25 (a Giarratana project), West End Village (slated for West End Park and led by the Atlanta-based The Residential Group), Gatewood (a Metro Development and Housing Agency workforce housing building on Dickerson Road), The Melrose (a co-development involving The Parkes Co. and Fulcher Investment Properties), MarketStreet's Gulch-based Pine Street Flats and a Music Row-area five-story building that Atlanta-based Stonehenge DCM plans to contruct at 16th and Horton avenues.
In addition, Bristol Development Group is shooting for a 2012 start on a 240-unit mid-rise, with a possible grocery store, at the Music Row Roundabout, and Phoenix-based Alliance Residential Co. plans to build the 235-unit Broadstone at Centennial on Charlotte Avenue near HCA.
Lastly, Ray Hensler, who developed the handsome Adelicia condo tower in Midtown, and Giarratana are both eyeing high-rise apartment towers, the former in The Gulch and the latter in SoBro.
The result would yield — assuming all 15 materialize — more than 3,100 for-rent units located no more than 3.5 miles from the city's central business district. Six of the 15 are likely to be mixed-use, including retail, and all but four would have 150 or more units. Five of the 15 could rise seven stories or more. Twelve would be sited on parcels that are either empty or underutilized.
The addition of 15 medium- to large-scale buildings physically placed within a relatively tight geographic area could clearly alter Nashville's manmade fabric.
"It will have a [visual] impact similar to the impact the condominiums [built in the 2000s] had, but the massing won't be quite on the same scale," said Marion Fowlkes, principal of Green Hills-based Centric Architecture.
"We don't need to be building outside the core. We need to build inside. The infrastructure is already in place."
Stephanie McCullough, Nashville Civic Design Center communication and community outreach coordinator, said a major infusion of large-scale residential buildings would "provide density that will encourage economic development, complement the goals of the 2035 Transportation Plan, increase street-level [pedestrian] activity and diversify the housing stock with more affordable options."
The apartment association's McLaughlin, chairman of Parthenon Properties, said GNAA's last survey of apartment buildings of 50 or more units in the West End-Downtown submarket yielded a response that shows approximately 3,900 rental units. Even if there are 2,000 additional units — in those buildings for which there was no response, in smaller buildings that were not surveyed and in, for example, duplexes and homes — to bring the total to about 6,000 units, the planned projects would represent an almost 50 percent increase in the area's apartment numbers during a limited time span, from early to mid-2012, when the first development (Vista Germantown) comes on line to, say, mid-2015 when the last (likely the Hensler and/or Giarratana towers) could be completed. And that raises a question:
Can Nashville's urban core accommodate such a major influx of apartments over a relatively brief time period?
"My peers in the apartment business in Nashville would have a healthy dose of skepticism and ask, 'Are we building too many?' " McLaughlin said. "When I started looking at GNAA statistics, there were about 23,000 apartments in the sample [submarkets], and a banner construction year was about 2,000 units for Davidson and Rutherford counties," he said. "In absolute terms, this [building boom] is unprecedented."
Aaron White, president of Core Development, said supply has been "pretty limited," creating the chance for a numbers adjustment.
"I'm building, so we believe that they will rent," White said with a chuckle. "But occupancy and rental rates … might take some time to absorb and stabilize. It will affect rent growth and, maybe, rent levels. We don't really know. You're talking about a two-year period [for all buildings to come on line]."
Given Nashville's overbuilding of condos that came on line in the mid- to late-2000s and an expected continued influx of young urbanites looking for rental space near restaurants and shops — a trend that started in the city in the 1990s and has accelerated — the construction flurry of major in-town apartment buildings is not surprising, McLaughlin said.
"Apartments are now a favored source for new financing," he said.
McLaughlin said Nashville's urban core absorbing 3,100 apartment units during a two- to three-year span will depend on three factors: jobs, amenities and population growth within the demographic that favors renting in an urban setting. The GNAA's full coverage area currently sees a 94.6 percent occupancy rate.
"The market will be bigger than it is now," he said. "Perhaps the infrastructure for downtown — grocery stores and mass transit — will all be more developed and proven."
And if there is an overbuilding?
"If there is more supply than demand, we could face some uncertainty," McLaughlin said. "It may well be that to fill up some of these buildings, the owners may have to offer concessions — and lower the rents."
All interviewed for this story said the first building to come on line will rent quickly. The last few in the race could face major uncertainty.
David Hanchrow, Bristol Development Group chief investment officer, said he feels "many" of the 10 proposed projects will materialize.
"[However], the ones that are going to have to get north of $2 a square foot [in rent] to get the required return on investment will be somewhat challenging," Hanchrow said. "And the projects that will suffer the most will be those that have the least walkable amenities," he added.
But when assessing the 10 proposed projects, even the three with seemingly the fewest "walkable amenities" — Midtown Place, Broadstone at Centennial and Eleven North — are each within no more than four blocks of at least two current or proposed major amenities.
Regardless, Hanchrow said he is comfortable the city is not at major risk of seeing a troubling rental residential excess simply because "Nashville is still behind the curve in terms of urban living."
Multiple experts interviewed seemed to reach the same conclusion: With its numerous colleges, diverse economy and national brand, Nashville will continue to draw young, educated people — the types who
demand a small, yet nice, space in which to eat and sleep while devoting their free time to living an urban lifestyle.
Core Development chief White said the apartment boom is a "bet on Nashville's growth."
"These are not crazy numbers," he said, "for the city the size of Nashville and for [this type] submarket."

– for redheads, shirtless or not.
As long as those who want to go topless want none of the blame that comes from their actions – their actions communicate self-centredness, more than a pure desire to liberate.
Since "The Movement" is essentially a bottomless pit, I can't wait to see what the next frontier of "rights" will be.
Obviously bottomless will follow topless, but what then? Breaking free of the bourgeois restriction of using toilet facilities? Equal rights for headhunters? Cannibal liberation?
whatever it is, 50 bucks says it starts in California.
It's pretty obvious why the men were there.
"Oh, yes, we're absolutely favor of women going topless. Equal rights and all that stuff, whatever."
Since they don't seem to know why it is OK for men to go topless but not women, I'll explain.
Breasts are what Darwin describes as a sexual display, the male torso is not. Our culture considers blatant sexual displays in public to be inappropriate.
Attractive women who blatantly display their breasts gain an advantage in everyday life. Guys deffer to them, give them freebies, and it gives them a leg up when competing for the attention of the small fraction of guys women value. The right to go topless maximizes that advantage.
Like everything else, Feminists only want to adhere to those parts of the old cultural rules that benefit them. Those that disadvantage them or advantage men are Patriarchal oppression and must be discarded forthwith.
You can bet that the same women who want to walk around with their breasts on full public view also want to be able to have men punished for looking at them unless those men are the high value ones whose attention they desire.
It's just skin, people, come on. We never needed to legislate cultural mores such as hemlines or beachwear — and there were plenty like Martin Owens who bemoaned more skin shown and warned that it's a slippery slope to murder and filth.
Remember it was Berkeley, Ca that in an uproar ("male nudity=sexual assault") outlawed public nudity a few years ago to prevent a few middle-aged mixed-gender nudists from playing banjo and doing their song-and-dance in the park.
It's just skin, really. It's all good.
No it's NOT good! What you are advocating is the destruction of our society, which has a strong Puritan component.
What will replace it? Blowback?
What you socialists (libertians, liberals, marxists, etc.) don't seem to understand is that society evolved to support the family, which in turn evolved to support children, who are the future. The purpose of society is NOT to take money from the workers so the non-workers can not work.
Life is about more life, not what feels good.
Charlie don't surf.
I'm all in favor of topless women.
Just make sure there is some QC involved.
I really wish that men with beer bellies and man boobs would refrain from going topless. Gross!
IMHO, it depends on the Woman.
Can you imagine Nancy Pelosi topless?
I have it on rumor that she has Dirty Harry Reid hold hers so she doesn't kneel on them when dropping to her knees.
I don't believe it myself. After all it would be so much simpler for her to just tuck them into one of the wrinkles were her abdomen used to be.
I expect CNN to be the first to go topless on camera. Ratings would go up.
Then FOX would follow and own CNN.
Julie Huddy topless would get Nielson's first 100% market share.
I would rather shower @Penn State then vote Democrat.
Only if they are easy on the eyes. I call judge!
Not only should they be allowed to do so, but we need to go further. To make up for centuries of oppression, all women under 30 should be legally compelled to go topless.
It's the right thing to do.
Equal rights? No one who isn't doing hard physical labor or on a beach should ever walk around shirtless.

Linux Magazine in India
A friend picked up an issue of Linux Magazine in the US and I loved it. Here in India, Linux Magazine is not readily available, and shipping costs too much. Will you guys consider establishing a center for your magazine here in India? I am pretty sure your magazine would be blockbuster. India has lots of Linux users. If you guys could locally distribute the magazines in India, it really would be great.
Thanks for the feedback. We're glad to hear you liked the magazine. We deliver to many parts of the world, but the presence of Linux Magazine at your local newsstand might depend on external factors such as shipping costs and the wholesale magazine distribution system in your country. If you have trouble finding Linux Magazine in your area, you might consider signing up for a digital subscription. Digital subscribers can download a PDF version of Linux Magazine from anywhere in the world. For more on Linux Magazine digital subscriptions see:
What's the big problem with patents on algorithms?
If I devise a new mechanism that's expressed in gears and levers, that, apparently, is fine. If it works using interlocking molecules, that's fine too. But a computer algorithm cannot be patented in the UK. You stand a better chance in the EU or the US, but the UK patent office won't look at it unless it has a physical manifestation of some sort. Why is that? What, in principle, is the difference?
I confess that I do have an ax to grind here. My company has developed a novel algorithm for solving certain important classes of simultaneous linear equations.
It took a huge amount of (privately funded) work to develop, and I really don't see why we should give it away. If it were a drug or an electronic device, we would be looking to build a successful tax-paying business around it.
A couple of weeks ago, I found myself being lectured on software patents by an academic Linux enthusiast who, it transpired, had himself filed patents on the (taxpayer-funded) work he'd done at University.
Let's be consistent here – either scrap patents altogether, or allow patents on novel computer-based algorithms.

Video: Ode to the Brain.
The beautiful mass of coiled mush in your head.
"Ode to the Brain" is the ninth episode in the Symphony of Science music video series. Through the powerful words of scientists Carl Sagan, Robert Winston, Vilayanur Ramachandran, Jill Bolte Taylor, Bill Nye, and Oliver Sacks, it covers different aspects the brain including its evolution, neuron networks, folding, and more. The material sampled for this video comes from Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Jill Bolte Taylor's TED Talk, Vilayanur Ramachandran's TED Talk, Bill Nye's Brain episode, BBC's "The Human Body", Oliver Sachs' TED Talk, Discovery Channel's "Human Body: Pushing the Limits", and more. ~Symphony of Science

What it won't tell you is that the Directory is a rich and multi-layered resource about the House, the Senate, and life on Capitol Hill. They're yeoman-like and unassuming, but for historians and political scientists they provide a valuable means of studying the first branch of government. More >
Today, the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is the kind of trite shortcut your English teacher deducts points from your essay for using. But at the turn of the century the visceral power of a photograph was a new concept. More >
The existence of UFOs may seem like the exclusive domain of science fiction, but as Representative John Moss of California laid the groundwork for legislation that eventually became the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in 1966, he didn't discriminate in his pursuit to open as much government information as possible to the public.

Researchers often ignore the House Journal in favor of its flashier cousin, the Congressional Record. If laws were sausages, the Congressional Record would report the grinding process of making them. The House Journal by contrast has—with a few minor formatting adjustments—remained a constant over the span of House history, as a simple recapitulation of House actions as required by the Constitution.

Over the course of three years in the mid-1920s, the clerk of the Joint Committee on Printing, Ansel Wold, had a mission: find Representative Victor Berger's middle name and the name of the town in which Mr. Berger settled upon his arrival to the U.S. in the 1870s. And Wold needed to find this information fast, in time to publish the 1928 edition of the Biographical Directory of the American Congress. More >

> CityRacks, which were first designed 10 years ago.
=v= The old design is the basic upside-down "U". I don't think
there's anything particularly lacking with it, except that NYC
needs far more than 5,000 racks. (So, for the near term, these
new racks should supplant, not replace, the old ones.)
=v= (That said, I am delighted by the one that like the ecology
symbol, designed by Ian Mahaffy and Maarten De Greeve, and I
hope it wins.)
=v= A nonprofit group called Trees New York, which promotes
the planting and care of street trees in NYC, also had a design
competition a few years ago, for a combination bike rack and
tree guard. The idea was to provide something to lock bikes
to instead of trees, and also to protect the trees (and their
roots systems). You can see the two winning designs here:

Ken Wilber describes a significant malaise of our time as "boomeritis." What he means by this is the tendency among highly educated and self-actualized persons (as typified by the baby boomer generation) to embrace values that include pluralism, egalitarianism, subjective/personal understandings of truth, and a general "live and let live" ethos, but that often appears marred by egocentrism, narcissism, and self-absorption. In other words, a laudable value system that promotes freedom of conscience can also devolve into a fragmented world where everyone does his or her own thing and, as a result, community flounders. I'm reminded of a friend of mine — a highly educated, successful businesswoman, who is devoted to her own spiritual practice — who always speaks of truth in possessive terms: she has "her truth," I have "my truth," and so on. In her cosmology, everyone is entitled to his or her "own" truth. What is not possible is any kind of grand narrative or truth claims that take us outside of ourselves and force us to play on a level field with everyone else.
I was reading one of Wilber's books this morning in which he describes this problem, and thought about one of the reasons I was drawn back to Christianity from Paganism (a pluralistic, egalitarian spirituality if there ever were one). It had to do with the culture of self-sacrifice, humility, and asceticism that is at the heart of Christian spiritual practice. These values are often rejected by non-Christians as dysfunctional and/or patriarchal. But I think the Christian emphasis on self-denial can also function as a corrective to the pervasive narcissism of our time.
The danger in Christianity comes when believers settle for narrow or limited models of Christian experience. For example, one widespread model of Christianity in our culture emphasizes pre-scientific ways of understanding the cosmos or pre-modern ways of relating to authority (in other words, fundamentalism: think Jerry Falwell). Another model emphasizes scholarly approaches to the Bible and often has a strong bias toward social action — but against the culture of self-sacrifice that has historically exemplified Christian spirituality (the liberalism of Rudolf Bultmann or Bishop Spong epitomize this variety of the faith). Alas, relatively few people in the pews really seem to be engaging with a full and rich experience of Christianity: combining a deep devotion to the traditional spirituality of the religion with the challenges of bringing Christianity into dialogue with the knowledge of science or the wisdom of other faiths. Those who do embody, as far as I have seen, some of the most beautiful expressions of the faith. In other words, Christians who seek to be wise as serpents (by embracing science and multi-culturalism in addition to their own faith identity), but also innocent as doves (by taking seriously Christianity's call to self-denial, thus dodging our cultural tendency to narcissism and individualistic self-absorption) often seem to be the most truly Christ-like in their values and relationships.
Fundamentalist Christianity is anchored in obeisance to unquestioned authority and a tribal way of thinking about the world at large. Liberal Christianity rejects the above and instead tries to "de-mythologize" scripture and express the faith in a rational, and even anti-metaphysical way, emphasizing social justice over spiritual transformation. Then there is postmodern or emergence Christianity, which acknowledges that the Christian narrative is only one among many narratives, and often celebrates Christianity as a subversive, counter-cultural project. The problem with each of these expressions of the faith is that they are often hostile to the others. Perhaps when Christ issued the call to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16), he prophetically envisioned a time when some Christians would be authoritarian/tribal, others rationalist/materialist, and still others multi-cultural/pluralist. We are wise when we engage with all three of these expressions of the faith; and we are innocent when we refuse to allow any one of them to ignite our own narcissistic tendencies, by which we would trade devotion to the wild, untameable God for a smaller faith that is geared toward personal comfort and self-satisfaction.
What does it mean to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves? It means to pray our way into a truly Integral Christianity. I don't think it's been born yet. We're still in the labor pains.

Story Bones
The secret is to bang the rocks together, guys.
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

The Collections
Object Number: IA:1872.15
Bronze Shield. Late Bronze Age c.700 BC. Found in a bog between Ballinamoona and Herbertstown, near Lough Gur, Co. Limerick. Beaten from a flat sheet of bronze, the corrugated surface was then beaten from behind. There is a central raised boss surrounded by seven concentric ridges, inter-spaced by six rings of hemispherical bosses. The rim is strengthened by turning in the edge. There is a handle on the back behind the boss, held in place by two domed rivets that fit unobtrusively into the inner ring of bosses. Similar rivets hold two sling loops in position. Affording as it does less protection against sword slashes than would the leather shields of the period, the object may have functioned mainly as a parade shield. A proposal that the object was wrapped in textile when deposited would not appear to be correct. D. 71.3cm.

Animation blueprints for Swing
Over at Pushing Pixels i have ran the series on adding animations to enable rich interactivity expected from modern Swing applications. The code is part of the Onyx project which aims to provide blueprints for animated Swing applications powered by the Trident animation library, and the series has covered the following:
- Part 1 - adding simple animation behavior to such scenarios as component appearance (fade in), rollovers and window disposal (fade-out) using built in and custom class attributes and setters.
- Part 2 - adding animated load progress indication while the application is loading data.
- Part 3 - loading the album art matching the specific search string and asynchronously displaying the associated images.
- Part 4 - scrolling the album covers showed in the container and adding animations to the scrolling.
- Part 5 - complex transition scenarios.
How can you run this code locally?
- Get the latest SVN snapshots of Trident and Onyx
- The Onyx distribution contains the lib/amazon.jar. It has been created with the following steps:
wsimport -d ./build -s ./src -p com.ECS.client.jax http://ecs.amazonaws.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.wsdl .
jar cvf ../amazon.jar .
- Get an Amazon E-commerce key
- Run the org.pushingpixels.onyx.DemoApp class, passing your Amazon key as the only parameter to this class, adding the Amazon, Trident and Onyx classes to the classpath
If all went right, you should see the main application running and displaying Sarah McLachlan albums as in this video:
I hope you enjoyed this series. If you

To build Trident with Ant, you'll need the matching platform SWT jars in the classpath - i do not intend to bundle them with Trident. Thanks Kirill
by cowwoc - 2009-05-28 13:54Kirill, I tried building Trident using Ant but ran into a bunch of SWT-related compilation errors. It would be really nice to be able to look at the Trident Javadoc without having to try to figure out the build process. Gili

Schedule helps David Ortiz
Schedule helps David Ortiz
The Red Sox shouldn't have to worry about National League baseball messing up David Ortiz' swing this year.
Interleague play has proven challenging for the team's designated hitter in seasons past, particularly 2011, when a nine-game swing through Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Houston coincided with a 2-for-28 slump.
But with this year's interleague schedule more spread out, the Red Sox should be able to use the games to their advantage, with this week's two-day visit to Philadelphia a perfect example.

Honestly, I would not use slide for this kind of shot, it looks like there's too much contrast. If you do want to use slide, you may succeed, but its more likely that you will need to use a graduated neutral density filter or two. I would use one of the 160 print films. Why don't you try that side-by-side with slide and see what grabs you.
And I wouldn't bother to spot meter. My cheap gossen gives me contrast range and that's all I'd need for this. Well, that and a reading off my hand or some grey object. But if you have a dslr, now that's a great colour metering implement! And if you really want to meter correctly, you do need to colour meter, I guarantee that the colour temp is not 5000K in this scene.

Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
A very misunderstood Sci-fi horror thriller from producers John Carpenter and Debra Hill, people been bitching on why Michael Myers isn't in it. There's a good reason for this movie:
Michael Myers died at the end of "Halloween 2" in 1981 cause co-writer John Carpenter had enough of him and wanted his story including Loomis's story to be over as they were blown in the hospital to be burned and Michael sent to hell perminately. He came up with a concept for the franchise to become a big screen anthology of different halloween themed stories kind of like "Twilight Zone", "Tales from The Crypt", "Creepshow", and "Tales from The Darkside" about the title holiday itself and not Michael Myers. Unfortunately when the film came out on October 27th 1982 Carpenter didn't marketed this concept to the public thus audiences were confused and the film bombed at the box-office big time.
Carpenter and Debra Hill with Dino De Laurentiis Studios discontinued the anthology concept and it died a quick death, of course he sold the rights to Moustappha Akkad who produced all three movies and John Carpenter returned for part 4.
Personally i thought this was a well done and very chilling mix of HP Lovecraft and David Cronenberg with that Carpenter tone as it actually predated films like "The Stuff" and "They Live" on the whole consumerism taken over an evil thing kind of concept. This movie has gotten more respect over the new millenium and is a cult classic for it tried to experiment on something but went wrong.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
I actually watched this movie for the first time last year and was pretty impressed with it. I was expecting something godawful, but it turned out to be creepy and the Silver Shamrock song was both hypnotic and creepy. It was pretty cool to see The Old Man from RoboCop playing another villain role, and I thought the acting was well done.
Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween 4 and 5 but I would have liked to have seen the proposed anthology series. Maybe since they're plugging Halloween II as a final chapter, maybe they can retry the anthology series and market it as such.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
I haven't seen it in a very long time but the last time I did the local station played that Silver Shamrock or whatever song at each commercial bumper. I couldn't get that out of my head for way way too long and I'm afraid to watch it again for that reason.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
I really love this movie. It's nice to see some praise for it. I've seen it bashed for so long, mainly because Michael Myers isn't in it, but I've always found it to be a cool kind of B movie. Dan O'Herlihy is excellent as the villain and I love his speech about samhain. He brings a nice creepiness to the role of Cochrane, a man who hates what Halloween has become. "Kids go out begging for candy." For him it's like his religion and way of life and now it's become a mockery of what it originally was.
I have to give praise also to Dean Cundey as director of photography. He does such a great job with the look and feel for this film like he did on the previous two. For me, he is somewhat underappreciated when it comes to the work he did with Carpenter. They were a great team and I'd love to see them work together again. I'm surprised more horror directors haven't hired him.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
It had a Carpenter-esque feel at times, but I didn't care for it. The main reason was that song...arghh...I'll never watch it again for that reason.
There's a bit of absurdity to the premise. The villain can make life-like mechanical people but seems only interested in making kids suffer painful deaths on Halloween. (Were any of his workers real? Was the girl ever real?)
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
Yeah, there are some definite plot holes. I always thought the girl was real up until the end when they kidnapped her. I figured Cochrane replaced her at that moment. From that point on she doesn't talk and seems to be robotic acting.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
Do you think the anthology idea would have worked? i think if they made "Halloween 2" the anthology idea instead of continuing Michael Myers with the big white face guy being left alone part 1 then would it work?
Hey Turd, what do you think of the original movie with part 2, H2O and Rob Zombie's Halloween?
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
I was thinking about doing a Halloween 3 thread, but ''Zorg'' beat me to it! Anyway I think this movie is VERY underrated, this is my favorite ''Halloween'' movie for so many reasons.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
Rob Zombie's Halloween I'm kinda mixed about. I think the first half with Michael and Dr. Loomis in the asylum is an interesting take. But, I think it falls a little flat once Michael gets back to Haddenfield. So, I usually watch the first half of Halloween 2007 then finish it with Halloween 78.
And I think Malcolm McDowell is a great Dr. Loomis, although not quite as good as Donald Pleasance ;)
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
I personally would have liked to have seen an anthology series instead of what the series became. I do somewhat like part 4, the producer's cut of 6 and H20, The first three are my favorites though. I can watch those over and over.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
Not really a good film... it definitely screams "B-movie", but I do appreciate the attempt to do something different rather than just having Michael Myers stalking and killing people once again.
It did have some suitably creepy moments, and Dan O'Herlihy made for a decent villain (his ultimate plan was certainly frightening and heinous). But as has been said, there are a few plot-holes and logic problems towards the end (for instance, if the girl was a robot since the time the doctor "rescued" her, why did she help him escape? Why didn't she try to stop him from destroying the factory?) And yes, the whole thing does seem rather far-fetched.
Still, while it could have been better-executed, it's not unwatchable. A valiant effort to restructure the Halloween franchise, and I kind of wish they had continued on with this format.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
It's definitely a flawed film, but fun to watch it.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
It was rightfully bashed because it does not give the audience what they bargin for---a sequel to the halloween saga.
i've got no beef with them making the movie they made---just don't call it Halloween 3--it is purposely misleading. whatever meager money it made would have been much less if people had known they weren't getting MM.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
It's a shame it did so poorly, and I think it's gotten a bad rap over the years from its association with a series that it has nothing to do with. I've had a few conversations over the years with people who dismissed the film before even seeing it. I don't think it's any kind of masterpiece, but I do consider it to be a decent, little horror movie.
Re: Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982).
I an a huge fan of the original two Halloween's with Michael Myers, but after that they just got silly and weren't to scary. I am not a fan of Zombie's take on it, I rather liked how Michael in the first two was this ambigious force of evil, not a defined psychotic.
However Season of the Witch is a great Halloween (the night not the series) movie! I loved it and the actual plot is rather chilling! Child Sacrifices and they will go willing to it!
*sings* 8 more days to Halloween...Halloween ...Halloween...Silver Shamrock...
Followed by the nice fatherly Silver Shamrock voiceover reminding children to wear their special masks and watch the broadcast JUST for them...
The blinking pumpkin....
Ever since I first saw the movie and now as a parent...God the thought of just how MANY children they would get....even with just the one Network still showing it at the end....WOW
A timeless B Movie classic in its own right.
