Paint Hard to Reach Spots with This DIY Paint Pad
Narrow spots, like behind your toilet, are tough to reach with a paintbrush or roller. Make your own paint pad from a free stirrer stick for those narrow spaces. Here's how.

Paint can transform the entire look of a room—so much, in fact, that it can actually affect your home's value. Zillow studied tens of thousands of sold homes around the U.S. to see how the paint colors of certain rooms affected the home's sale price.
Spray paint is easy and relatively inexpensive, but if you don't have the space to lay out tarp or paper to spray paint small items like drawer pulls, picture frames, and door handles, use a cardboard box to keep the mess in check.
"Water, soil, and paint." What Hillary Clinton said at this Sunday's debate is true: Flint, Michigan is not the only place with a lead problem, and water is just the beginning. Here's how to find out whether there's lead in your neighborhood, and what to do about it.
Painting a piece of furniture is one of the easiest ways to transform it into something that looks like new, but you have several choices of type of paint to use. Choosing isn't as simple as matching a material to a paint type. Here are the pros and cons of three common types.
Sometimes a big painting project will take you more than a few sessions to complete. You can keep a brush and a little touch up paint fresh in between sessions with this handy trick.
Most of us use painter's tape when painting around windows or window frames, and it works, unless you have an oddly-shaped window or frame (like a circular or cut-glass window.) In that case, a thin layer of lip balm at the edges of the glass lets you paint freely and just wipe away the excess.
Before remodeling an older home, you must have it inspected for lead-based paint. Here's how to administer the test yourself, and what to do with the results.
If you don't have any paint thinner around, you can clean latex-based paint out your paintbrushes with just some warm water and a dryer sheet.
After a long day of careful and deliberate painting, the last thing you want to do is get paint in places it's not supposed to be. This easy trick will ensure that paint doesn't go shooting everywhere when you close the lid.
Painting your interior walls is an easy, popular way to customize your space. Anyone can do it, but results may vary based on the type of brush you use. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing the right paint brush for your next DIY painting project.http://workshop.lifehacker.com/five-tips-to-m…
Whether you're picking up paint or trying to match some clothing items, here's the reason why you're better off not trusting your memory and taking a photo instead.
The nozzles on spray paint cans will clog pretty easily, and a clogged nozzle pretty much makes the whole thing useless. A bath in some mineral spirits or paint thinner will make that nozzle good as new.
Painting a room might seem like a pretty straightforward project, but freestyling your paint strokes could result in bumps or inconsistencies. Paint in shoulder width strokes to keep it easy, simple, and above all, even.
Varnish protects and beautifies wood grain furniture, but it's difficult to apply without getting streaks or drip marks. Start with a high-quality natural bristle brush and you're halfway to a smooth finish.
Choosing the right paint color can be tricky, and lighting can change the results. Apartment Therapy explains how different types of light bulbs can affect the way your paint looks.
Need to paint the walls when moving out of an apartment? According to US News, you don't have to pay. Just head to your local recycling center.
When your bottles of nail polish are stored in their kit, it's cumbersome to take each out to see the color. This also holds true for paint cans in the tool shed or the paint bottles for your art.
Tired of your old paint job? Moving into a previously lived-in home? You can paint over the old color quickly and easily with a few tricks. The DIY community at Stack Exchange tells you how.
If you're in the middle of a multi-day painting project, the last thing you want to do at the end of a long day is clean gobs of paint off your roller. Instead, store the wet roller in a Pringles tin overnight to keep it fresh and ready to use.

CSN Mid-Atlantic has been sharing highlights of Alex Ovechkin's career all season. To celebrate baseball being back, tonight's Ovechkin Moment was from September 27, 2006, when the Russian machine threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. It is so awkward and yet so amazing.
In the clips, Ovechkin is 21-years-old and has all his teeth. He does not know how to play the baseball.

BROWNWOOD – November 2, 2015 – The 32nd annual Community Thanksgiving Feast at Howard Payne University will once again usher in the holiday season for area residents. It is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at HPU's Mabee University Center.
The tradition has been supported throughout the years by numerous individuals and organizations. Last year, more than 2,000 meals were served on campus and through the home-delivery program.
"The crisp mornings we have been enjoying remind us that it is again time to begin planning for a wonderful Thanksgiving day with family and friends at Howard Payne's Mabee University Center," said Bill Fishback, assistant vice president for business and human resources at HPU. "This community-wide effort of neighbors caring for neighbors seems to be as important to those who serve as it is to those who enjoy the meal each year. Volunteers will help serve meals at the Mabee Center or deliver meals in Brownwood and Early to those who cannot join us on campus. We have always been able to provide the meals free of charge because of the donations from the caring people and organizations in Brown County, so I am confident the money will be there by the time the bills must be paid."
The staff of Howard Payne's Sodexo Food Service give up their holiday to prepare the meals. Anyone unable to join friends and neighbors at the Mabee Center can have meals delivered to his or her home by calling the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce at (325) 646-9535 by noon on Monday, November 23.
"Many of the volunteers have helped for years, making serving others part of their annual Thanksgiving tradition," said Fishback.
The traditional Thanksgiving meal will consist of turkey, dressing and all the trimmings.
"Last year, we served 689 meals at the Mabee Center and 1,438 meals were provided to those in the community who were unable to join us for lunch," Fishback said. "The volunteers enjoy visiting with each other and our guests as they work to serve the meals as quickly as possible. Too often, we take for granted the fact that we are very blessed to live in a community where so many people willingly give their time and money to support this wonderful event. We look forward to being part of another joy-filled Thanksgiving Day as we also give thanks to the Lord for blessing us in so many ways."
According to Fishback, volunteers do not need to call to let the university know they are coming.
"Volunteers simply need to show up at the Mabee Center at 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day and we will put them to work," he said.
If you would like to help support the Thanksgiving meal, please make checks payable to the "Community Thanksgiving Feast," and send them to Bill Fishback at Howard Payne University, 1000 Fisk Street, Suite 210, Brownwood, TX, 76801.

How important is your children's health?
There is almost no question that one of the biggest health epidemics that faces North America is rising obesity that has been spreading rapidly. Adult obesity has doubled from the year 1980 from 15% to a whopping 30%, but guess what? That's only for adults. While High Schoolers remain between 15%-20% on average, the children seem to have suffered the most, with their statistic for obesity tripling in the past few decades.
There are many explanations for obesity, and I suppose it would be short sighted to only indicate one possible culprit. There is of course the rise in fast food, junk food, processed food, and just about everything that's bad for you but taste's so good and saves so much money. That certainly doesn't help. Then take into account the fact that we have been able to trace many childhood and even genetic culprits that are also to blame. Even from the time we are babies we pick up eating habits based on how we watch those around us eat as well as how we are feed. Did you know for example that breastfeeding a baby reduces the chance for obesity? This is because it teaches the baby to eat until he's hungry rather than until the bottle is empty, a very important rule for eating when we get older.
Another major culprit for this epidemic however, I think goes without saying especially in Canada and of course the United States. We suffer severely from a lack of activity. Cars, mass transit, and number of other factors have made our society so we don't have to walk or bike anywhere anymore. We can sit back, relax, and allow a machine to do all the moving for us. Combine that with the fact that all of our entertainment is now digital, and you'll slowly start to see the problem. This problem seems to affect children more than anything, as it is they who will cling to the technology of this generation, for it is all they know.
How to stop this now? Simple, be more active!
Activity and movement is the key not just to fighting obesity but improving over all health. This kind of activity can include anything from sports to bike rides or quiet walks in the park. It could also simply include running around for a game of tag or hide and go seek. Anything that gets the muscles moving and the blood pumping is a plus in my book. Did you also know one of the steps for a healthier life according the U.S government is simply parking further away from each building we travel to (work, store, etc.), That's because it forces us to walk, to move around, and use our muscles. The same concept works for our kids. We have to get them moving, running around, and having fun. If getting your kids away from the screen proves to be a problem you could even try a more creative solution. Use digital entertainment and combine it with physical activity as a clever solution. There's the Wii Fit that comes with a number of physical challenges and activities you're kids will love, or if you really get desperate get them on a walk by downloading the Pokemon Go app and go Pokemon hunting together.
Whatever you decide to do, make your health and your child's a priority by becoming active. The best way to do this is to find fun activities you and your kids can enjoy together.

Nancy Sinatra
8 June 1940, Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. Determined not to rest on the laurels of famous father, Frank Sinatra, Nancy spent several years taking lessons in music, dance and drama. She made an impressive appearance in 1959 on the Frank Sinatra/ Elvis Presley television special, and two years later made her recording debut with Cuff Links And A Tie Clip. From 1960-65, she was married to pop singer Tommy Sands. Further releases were combined with a budding acting career until 1966 when, having teamed with producer/songwriter Lee Hazlewood, Nancy enjoyed an international smash with the sultry number 1 These Boots Are Made For Walkin. Its descending bass line on every verse made it one of the most recognisable hits of 1966. How Does That Grab You, Darlin, Fridays Child, and Sugar Town, all entered the US Top 40, before Somethin Stupid, a duet with her father, gave the...

Timber and board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product, we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.
More Information
Forest Friendly
All our wood is 100% Forest Friendly. This means using it in our products (from doors to wallpaper) does not damage ancient forests, harm wildlife or jeopardize communities who depend on forests now and in the future.
B&Q is proud of our industry-leading timber policy and 20 years of pioneering work on forests.

I have read some comparisons of JUnit and TestNG and it looks like TestNG has more configuration options. On the other hand JUnit is more supported by IDEs, building tools, has more plugins.
I have no experience in writing unit tests. Which tool should I prefer?
P.S. I think my question is more like: Should I give TestNG a try, or just stick with JUnit as everybody else?
P.S. We develop web applications, so I think the choice should also consider that we will use Selenium later for functional testing.

if you use it inside the outer ear for a dry skin condition? Thank you
Can Triamcinolone Acetonid Cream give you a headache around your ears and in the back of your head?

Highly unlikely, that the amount of triamcinolone absorbed from topical application, will cause headache. You are probably applying the cream very thinly so not a lot will be absorbed.

Purported 13" MacBook Pro specs show USB 3.0, Ivy Bridge, no Retina displayAn image claiming to show specifications for an unreleased 13-inch MacBook Pro shows it equipped with an Ivy Bridge processor and USB 3.0 ports, but without a high-resolution Retina display.
The image, published on Tuesday by Macotakara, could easily have been faked. But the questionable image shows hardware specifications as they would usually appear on the box of an Apple notebook.
The image claims the computer will feature a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 3 megabytes of L3 cache and Turbo Boost up to 3.1 gigahertz. It also features 4 gigabytes of 1600 megahertz DDR3 SDRAM, a 500 gigabyte 5400-rpm hard drive, and the new Intel HD Graphics 4000 found in the latest Ivy Bridge processors.
The purported specifications also show the MacBook Pro with a 13.3-inch LED backlit glossy widescreen display with a resolution of just 1,280 by 800 pixels. That resolution would not qualify as an Apple-branded Retina display, as the company is expected to debut new MacBook Pros with higher resolution screens at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference.
In addition to having a traditional spinning hard drive, the list of features also suggests the 13-inch MacBook Pro will have an 8x slot-loading SuperDrive for CDs and DVDs. Apple's next MacBook Pros are instead expected to be a significant redesign that will ditch the optical drive for a thinner design like the MacBook Air.
However, the alleged MacBook Pro update does feature two high-speed USB 3.0 ports, in addition to a Thunderbolt port, SDXC card slot, and FireWire 800 port.
The size and weight shown on the spec sheet has the MacBook Pro sized at 12.78 by 8.94 by 0.95 inches and 4.5 pounds. Those are identical to the current 13-inch MacBook Pro sold by Apple.
If legitimate, it's possible the specifications could show a low-end 13-inch MacBook Pro that Apple intends to release. That model could lack some of the features of the higher end models, like a thinner design and Retina display.
On Topic: Future Hardware
- Rumor: Apple to adopt USB Type-C in another upcoming MacBook, whether it's Pro or Air
- Apple shakes up electric vehicle team, places Bob Mansfield in charge of 'Project Titan' - report

Will you watch the Tour de France?
The 100th edition of the Tour de France begins Saturday, just days after 1997 winner Jan Ullrich became the latest to admit blood doping -- joining cycling's brightest-ever star, Lance Armstrong, on the list of tainted athletes. Also noteworthy for 2013: the absence of injured 2012 winner Bradley Wiggins. But all is not lost for cycling fans -- this still is the sport's premier event, and an intriguing two-man battle at the top could make for a memorable race on a special anniversary.
Looking at 2013
Defending winner Bradley Wiggins is out, but Alberto Contador, Chris Froome, Tejay van Garderen (left) and Cadel Evans (right) are among the big names in this year's field.
Die-hard fan?
Lance Armstrong captured the nation's -- and world's -- attention for seven straight years, and the event hasn't been without its big names since Armstrong stopped racing.
Two-man race?
Some believe the race might simply come down to favorite Chris Froome (left) and two-time champion Alberto Contador.
Wiggins out
Defending champion Bradley Wiggins, Britain's first Tour de France winner, will miss this year's race with an injury.
Big-time bikers
Who better to enjoy the sport's top event than avid cyclists?
Still champion?
In a recent interview, Lance Armstrong insisted he still should be considered Tour de France winner from 1999 to 2005. "No one has manifested to claim my jerseys," he said.
Still doping?
New team sponsor Belkin recently vowed "zero tolerance" for doping, which has pushed several sponsors out of the sport.

There's plenty to choose from, written by experts in their area.
Its not all hard work for the upwardly mobile. There's a good DVD selection for the evening chill time and even some rock fiction, which may appeal after a day of rock friction.

I am neither a Twilight fan or a Twilight detractor. This said, I am
indifferent to the franchise. As far as the movies, I still think,
coming from someone whose knowledge of the books only comes from my
sister being a fan and me reading a chapter of one and putting it down,
that the best is Eclipse(not saying much) and New Moon the worst. But
that is not a consolation really. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is not quite
among the worst of the year and nowhere near among the worst ever,
however it suffers from some major problems that I will get to later in
the review.
So what was it that got me seeing Breaking Dawn: Part 1 in the first place? The answer was its director, Bill Condon. I am familiar with his previous films and find him a promising director and writer, finding his films well written, observed and acted. Gods and Monsters is amazing and one of my favourites, Kinsey was interesting and Dreamgirls elevated by the soundtrack and cast was quite decent. Did Condon do a good job directing? For me, I am not sure. I'd say of the four Twilight movies so far Breaking Dawn: Part 1 has the most cinematic feel to it, on the other hand there is not much here that made Condon's previous films so good and I'd go as far to say it is the film of his that engaged me the least.
Are there any redeeming qualities to this instalment? I think so actually. Although there are moments of sloppy editing, I did like the look of the film. At some points it was quite Gothic, and at others it had either an evergreen or autumnal feel to it. The scenery often does look stunning, the effects are okay I guess and the cinematography especially with the close-ups of the back of the wedding dress and the final shot is some of the best of the franchise in my opinion.I also liked Carter Burwell's score. I like Burwell a lot, his music has a hypnotic and quite hauntingly beautiful quality to it. For my tastes though some of the pop tunes are on the insipid side, however the score itself was pleasant with a lot of what I like about Burwell evident.
Much has been said about the sex scene. In all honesty I was expecting it to be of hilariously cheesy quality, but somehow Condon brought a little more subtlety than I was expecting. The last thirty minutes was perhaps the most exciting Breaking Dawn: Part 1 got, as some of does have purpose and intensity, which was something that the first half of the film did not have.There are also two good performances, Billy Burke and Michael Sheen, the latter being another point of interest. Burke as always is amusing with some of the better lines of the film(though is that saying much do you think?), while Sheen, ever the great actor, adopts a menace and magnetism as Aro without overdoing it too much. Ashley Greene is also quite good, if not great.
I have to say I still don't think much of the acting of the central trio. Kristen Stewart is much better than she is in New Moon, with much less of the moping and dead pauses, but some of her line delivery is still awkward and her facial expressions for my tastes are lifeless. It doesn't help though that Bella is a rather dull character.Robert Pattinson has more to do than he did in New Moon and is less hammy than in the first film(the looking into the camera moments brought moments of unintentional laughter when I first went to see Twilight when it came out). As a matter of fact this is perhaps his best performance of the series and he is certainly the best of the central trio, but like Stewart some of the line delivery could've been more inspired.
Taylor Lautner on the other hand is getting worse and worse. He is hunky to be sure, but does that alone make you a good actor? Not to me. I will give credit and say he is better than he was in this year's Abduction, where both the film and performance were awful, but the more dramatic moments from him felt forced and overplayed, and throughout there was a very stilted nature about him. A lot of the problem is to do with the writing. The dialogue in the Twilight franchise never was particularly good, saying this though in terms of written quality this is Twilight at its most banal, its most clunky and its most cheesy. The characters are clichéd and underdeveloped too, and at the end of the day you don't care for anybody. Oh, and the talking wolves were poorly done and unintentionally funny.
The story is very bland and unengaging, not to mention thin structurally and in content. The whole of the first half reads little more than ponderous melodrama. Was the wedding lavish? Yes it was. But it was also plodding and over-extended. The second half fares better, still with the clunky dialogue, uneven acting and cheesy, underdeveloped plot points and characterisations, but as I said the last thirty minutes or so serves as the highlight of the film. But for me what killed the film was the pace. Mind you, I have seen movies with slow pacing, but they are often paced deliberately and with strong meanings, great acting and dialogue and identifiable characters. With little of that here, Breaking Dawn: Part 1 not only is dull and plodding but also uninteresting and without bite.
Overall, despite my admiration for Condon and Sheen, this didn't work. The ending is highly suggestive of a continuation, which I understand is happening. If so, I do hope it will be better than this. 4/10 Bethany Cox

(I never read the books so this comment is strictly directed to movie
WTF WAS THAT? Almost 2 hours of NOTHING. God Damn it!, that was sad. It was a F-U to the public and especially to the fans. They might as well have sold us a bucket of sh*t, so we can carry something home because I got nothing from this movie. Not a laugh nor a cry, not even a boner (Bella looks like sh*t).
Let's recap the series:
1 - The first movie was OK, it was new and different. I actually enjoyed it.
Then they started shooting sh*t into our eyes.
2 - The second movie was exactly the same as the first (plot wise) but with wolfs.
3 - The third had more action and featured the Volfucks and an "army" (really? The word that's used is army?) of 10 young vampires who died in about 2 min. after the fight started.
4 - Then came this piece of sh*t movie, the fourth, and its plot: (ATTENTION THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE MOVIE YET SKIP THE FOLLOWING LINE!!!) Edward and Bella get married and have a kid - F-U!.
I don't understand why the final part of the series had to be split in 2. This movie would've taken 30 min. (tops) of the Breaking Dawn complete movie.
They really took a massive dump on the fans. And yet, some of then appear here to defend the movie which we all know (fans and none-fans) it was absolute crap.
OK here is the thing about the plot for Twilight Breaking Wind...it is
about boyfriends and girlfriends but only from a girl's perspective.
There is nothing especially wrong with this except when it becomes a
movie which my 7 year old could have made a better job of. So what are
the existential components? 1. OMG which boyfriend do I choose, I'm the
geek and now everybody (well 2 people) are interested in me... problem
part 1 - one is manly but poor (trailer boy), the other is thin, pretty
and rich problem part 2 - one is so muscly and animalistic and wants to
constantly get his hairy? (shaved chest wolf?) body around me, the
other is willing to wait until my wedding might (how touching) 2. I'm
scared of sex for the first time...there might be some blood? 3. what
if I get pregnant? (what if my baby is a monster?) 4. Foreplay...do I
have to swallow something unpleasant? (several gallons of O Neg) ask Dr
Freud about that one. 5. I want to look like a prepubescent girl for
ever (where is the mirror, can I be immortalised?
Life, death and 12 year old fears superimposed upon celluloid...badly! There is more substance to an episode of Sara Jane
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
First I had to contemplate whether this rating would have a
"spoiler"... It was a tough decision, because that would imply that
there's some sort of plot line that I may ruin inadvertently... rest
assured, there isn't. I mean we knew Bella and Edward were getting
married, and the previews showed there may be a baby in the works, and
well, there you have it. But after sitting through this....
thing....for two hours, I thought that I simply MUST write a review. I
haven't felt this motivated and energized to write a review in ages! I
simply had to start typing as soon as I got home! My goal: to stop just
one person from seeing this film. If I do, I will have done my good
deed on this earth, and my work on this planet would be done. I know,
it's such a minor thing, but hey, it's the little things that count.
The movie starts by a few excusable facial closeups as we see one actor after the next sigh, or smile, or look wistfully or longingly here and there, while the camera lingers on them 30 seconds too long; sometimes with a sarcastic smile which says "I'm really sad inside, but I'm putting on a brave face for you", or a mirthless smile that says: "I'm thinking about a grilled cheese sandwich right now, but I'll just smile and look past you to give the impression that I'm really deeply moved by what you're saying". Now and then the REALLY good actors get to throw in a little knowing crooked half smile to add some REAL gravity to the scene! I could only imagine what deep ironic thoughts they must have been projecting, but alas, it's one of those things that if you have to ask, you're just not cool enough to know. Well! Just when you think you've seen every possible mellow dramatic look and cheesy music combo possible... the director decides to do it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and just when you thought it couldn't possibly happen again, it does! And then again, and again, and again, .... Oh, and once in a while the director gets in his helicopter and does a senseless nature flyover scene just to break things up a little, and to get a way from the set.
Since I had lots of time during the film to contemplate life, the universe, and everything while I listened to the cheesiest musical scores to ever accompany a film while actors sulked, and stomped, and pouted, glared, and tried to out-overact each other, I wondered, why would this director resort to this inanity? It then hit me! The entire plot could easily be filmed in 30 minutes, and he had a whole hour and a bit to fill! I then empathized with the director as I imagined his moment of panic... it must have been a spot of genius when he realized he could fill the rest of the film with meaningless nature shot after nature shot, and the above-mentioned "let's throw in another drawn out look" scenes.
At various points in the film I drifted, and started to fantasize that sudden weird things would happen to change up the deadening tempo to spice up the film: like Bella would trip over her wedding gown, or Edward and Jacob would profess their love for each other and leave Bella to quiver lip herself into oblivion on her own while nobody cared, but sadly nothing like this happened to save the day.
There was one saving grace, I must say. Even though the theatre was filled with teenage girls, about halfway through the film, one, then another, then another started to laugh out loud! Pretty soon those of us who weren't comatose or brain-dead, joined in. It was something akin to a Christmas miracle! It was just like it happened in Whoville when everyone started to sing together! We the brave, and the few, in our darkest hour, we came together in laughter, and through our laughter whispered to one another: "it's OK, we're in this together, we can make it"! And we did.
When you get to the very end of the film, there's this nail-biter to end all nail-biters.... you'll go through five to ten minutes of nail biting dramatic mastery, there's changing camera angles, and zoom ins, and zoom outs, and music, and really really bad effects ... all inching towards the final finale and the answer you must know: will she live, or is she dead? Don't worry, I won't spoil it, the real spoiler is this: when you get there, you just... won't... care!
So you, standing there getting a last review in before deciding what to do with the evening... don't do it... you know who you are, just... don't... do it!
I hate Twilight a lot. But nobody can say I am unfair towards it. The third film was actually entertaining and less infuriating. Breaking Dawn Part 1, is different altogether. It is just a horrible product shoved out with no regard for its audience. Bella and Edward get married and go on honeymoon, this last for over an hour. She gets pregnant, which shouldn't be able to happen, and some potentially evil demon baby is sucking the life from her. The films biggest crime is that nothing happens for so long. This series has had a tendency to drag on and on. With New Moon seeming totally unnecessary. What happens here, is that we get one book split into two films. This film has about 30 minutes of material in it. Characters have the same conversations they've had a thousand times before, with nobody evolving. Bella and Edward feel the same way they've always felt, as does Jacob. The sex scene is embarrassingly juvenile, with a quick cut to something from a parody. The film doesn't let up in the absurdity department, as some animated wolves have a conversation with each other, but with mindless growling and dialog, it sounds terrible. What any other film would have shortened into a montage is played out to a variety of banal songs that all sound the same. Finally we get towards the end and the graphic, grotesque birth scene is barely shown at all. It leaves us with a finale in which a wolf "imprints" himself onto a newborn baby in a scene more disturbing than anything The Human Centipede could muster. If you like characters that whine about everything, actors that have no emotional range, and watching slideshows of other people's honeymoons, then you may enjoy this laughable effort.

OMG!!! I have been trough a HORRIBLE ordeal!!! I doubt I ever will fully recover from this... O.O I had never, I mean EVER imagined that my eyes would witness something that horrible, that outstandingly gruesome that the movie Breaking Dawn turned out to be! OMG! I had a moment of weakness and let myself be talked into watching the new Twilight movie...yes..yes I know...I should have seen it coming...I mean, the last movies have by no mean shown any indication that the upcoming sequels would suddenly turn into quality entertainment. But I never saw this coming...I would rather have been shot in my kneecaps and been hung up on meet hooks for days, than suffered through this terrible, SHOCKING piece of Mormon scheisse! WHY do people go crazy over this fundamentalist Mormon MORON'S openly anti abortion propaganda with it's dogmatic brainwash attempt to convince that it's "God's will to wait until you're married"!?!?!? AND that you should always ALWAYS give birth to WHATEVER "child" you're carrying, no matter of how it got there or if it so will kill you!!! All the while, ALL THE WHILE; This utterly boring little slut, with NO character or personality (or acting skills for that matter) what so ever, is playing with two guys FOR YEARS! So, you have a movie that is openly trying to teach Christian (Mormon) "values and morale", BUT is saying at the same time that it's completely OK for you to be a horny little 'beep' who manipulates people and keeps them from living their own life...And if you think they might be slipping away, here's an idea NAME YOUR FREAKING MISTAKE OF A CHILD with BOTH of the guys names!!! Gaaah!!!! NOT TO FORGET that the bruises in the movie, that were caused by Eddie "The hair" dear's "vampire strength" is in fact in the book bruises cause he beat her, so that's another great Mormon message for all your daughters, submission to your man, no control over your own body AND you should accept the occasional beating once you have the ring on your finger. I will not be caught DEAD watching another one of these piece of poop propaganda movies with twisted messages and ideas! Over n out!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Yes, it IS awful! The books are good, but this movie is a travesty of epic proportions! 4 people in front of me stood up and walked out of the movie. It was that bad. Yes, 50 minutes of wedding...very schlocky accompanied by sappy music. I actually timed the movie with a stop watch I was so bored. There is about 20 minutes of action and the rest is Bella pregnant and dying. The end. No, seriously. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. If it didn't have such a big budget and hype it would rank with one of the worst horror movies out there. The movie is plain stupid and cheesy and by far the worst of the series. The first two movies were nowhere near this awful!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
1. And God said: "Since AIDS didn't teach you, I bestow 'Twilight:
Breaking Dawn Part 1' upon you."
2. The cast's acting ability is equivalent to a possum under attack.
3. Shouting out "You did THIS!" to a man who recently impregnated his wife isn't just insulting it's obvious.
4. While playing chess, it is appropriate to gleefully proclaim: "I win!" like a five-year-old verses the oh-so-ancient "checkmate."
5. According to the morals of somewhat-writer Stephanie Meyer, it is acceptable to kill humans as long as you're in the healthy position of playing both judge and executioner. Long-live mormons.
6. If it was previously okay for someone over 100 to woo someone under 18-years-old, then I guess the same could be done for a teen to an 18-minute-old infant.
7. 'Twilight' contains as many vampires as the Republican Party contains Christians.
8. Within 3-seconds of the start time, Jacob rips off his shirt. Release the horny and lonely 50-year-old moms!
9. Werewolves tend to get sick at the sight of blood, apparently.
10. You know you have script problems when George Lucas, himself, has dialogue suggestions.
11. The original subtitle of 'Breaking Wind' was questionably rejected.
12. Soap Operas, left and right, are being cancelled and yet this has a theatrical release? My apologies, World.
13. Mercifully, to cut some costs on lighting, the moon is full in every night shot, despite the continuity of scenes.
14. If this is the Anti-Abortion-Advertisement it screams, I will pull the hanger myself.
15. More got accomplished in the 16 Republican debates than in two draining hours here.
16. I've heard the same bed that breaks in the movie during Edward and Bella's sex scene happens in the book. Big deal; I used to call that: Tuesday Night.
17. Worried your unborn child might become a demonic offspring? Turn to Yahoo on an Apple laptop for all your answers.
18. Who knew a pack of talking dogs could be this funny, outside of Pixar's 'Up'?
19. The Mayans calendar has been recalculated to narrow the end of days to 2/11/12. In a completely unrelated story, 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1' is being released on video that same day.
20. Wincing as hard as you can and uttering the line: "Why can't you see how perfectly happy I am?" isn't the most believable pose to convince someone they're good in bed.
21. Finally, a movie I can agree actors deserved a $30 million paycheck. Isn't that the going rate for a soul?
22. I believe in Guilty Pleasures. Although, to call 'Twilight' that, would only be half-right.
23. Some women are undeniably psychic when it comes to pregnancy. For example, Bella acts constipated for roughly 2 weeks prior to her actual conception.
24. I admit: I've never been to war. But, I can imagine watching this is what it's like seeing someone's arm getting blown off.
25. How can anyone keep a straight face with dialogue such as "'Kind' is my middle name"?
26. Pitching a movie in Hollywood should always take longer than the writing of the screenplay. Right?
27. Breakfast of champions: Chicken, Peanut Butter and Vomit. I wonder if she's pregnant.
28. Failed attempt at positivity: It's not as bad I thought it would be. It's worse.
Probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen. The movie itself was boring, with no twists or highlights what so ever. The acting, just terrible. No real emotions, or a connection with the audience. Thank god i downloaded this, and therefor didn't waste any money on it. I liked the first Twilight movie. Because, like someone else said, it was new and exciting. But this one, no, simply horrible. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. The only reason this movie is not a huge flop. Is because of all the 12 year old girls who watch it without considering the over all quality of the film. I hope movies like this, does not become a trend within the movie community. Its nothing but a forced, and failed try, in making a good sequel to the first movie, and a good adaptation of the book.
I watched the first movie in the saga because my wife loved the books.
I must say, the acting was good, except for Stewart who is a cold fish.
She looks confused or depressed. That is the scope of her acting
abilities. The character development was good. The plot was good. And
there was enough suspense, mystery and action to make the movie solid.
New Moon introduced the werewolves and Volturi, which added new mystery and suspense. But the Volturi were never heard from again.
In Eclipse, no werewolf makes an appearance until over an hour into the film. And you are already snoring within 40 minutes.
Finally, Breaking Dawn. In the first hour we see a wedding and honeymoon full of pathetic dialog, weak acting, and ZERO imagination. It was slower than a Lifetime production, with less romance, mystery, intrigue, suspense, and action. Stewart's character states it was the best night of her life, yet still not even a smile. She would be fantastic if casted as a corpse.
After watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the CG werewolves look like they were rendered in 1991. They look to be about 1200 pounds. They snarl and human voices are heard... but their bark is worst than their bite as no one dies or even gets injured. There movements and interaction with their environment look extremely fake.
The final 10 seconds of the film hold the only suspense or intrigue in the entire movie. These greedy bastards just want teens to pay for two movies when they could have rolled it into one. They could have started the movie with "I Do", shown a quick scene of Bella getting knocked up and getting morning sickness, then the 15 minute finale. This movie was simply a 20 minute prelude to Part Two stretched into 2 hours.
Get your neighbor to rent it, borrow it for 30 minutes and watch the last 15 minutes and you are ready for Part Two.

Skip to comments.President Obama Signs Executive Order Establishing Council of Governors
Posted on 01/11/2010 7:45:15 PM PST by Pantera
click here to read article
Rush mentioned that obama had signed this executive order and questioned what the possible implications might be. He didn't focus on it long.
Hmmmmmmmm is right.
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
Is this so-called "Council of Governors" not a compact between the selected states?
"Rush mentioned that obama signed this executive order and questioned what the possible implications might be. He didn't focus on it long."
"Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms."
And that was their biggest mistake.
I took it as long as I could and I sat down and typed an email to Rush stating simply, "Reid...STOP ALREADY!"
He beat that horse to death all the while I was hoping for analysis on other events crowding the news.
The racial satire he was using played itself out early on and ceased being satirical and effective.
Very disappointing to me today, Rushbo.
Happy birthday, anyhow.
I heard Rush as well — He also said he was going to consult with his legal beagles before drawing conclusions, mentioned Levin was one of those.
Thankk you!
I sent to Levin as well as 2 local hosts. Will send to Bill Cunningham too.
BS is not a good reply to a thoughtful question - wars (and revolutions) are won by planning, logistics and communication. Suggest you and those like minded give some further thought on what exactly you can and cannot do in regards to the above. Else, when the time comes, end up wishing you had.
Anything to confuse operations further.
Do you have a link for that, I want to send it out.
Wow. I'm sure he means well though. /sarcasm
And that would be a bad assumption based upon wrong premises. These monsters have no intention of relinquishing power. Ever. Draw your own conclusions. Then act.

Op-Ed on FBIs Post-9/11 Counterterrorism Efforts
The following op-ed, published on January 11, 2010 in The New York Post, was written by former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom. Kallstrom, who is currently a member of the FBI Directors Advisory Group, was also director of the New York Homeland Security Agency.
Ever since 9/11, critics have suggested that the FBI isn't up to its task as our nation's lead counterterrorism agency.
Yet, as the nation focused on the failures of the intelligence community in the Christmas Day bombing attempt over Detroit, last Friday saw two more arrests in the ongoing FBI investigation of a plot to bomb New York City first exposed by the September arrest of Najibullah Zazi.
It's easy to stand on the periphery, without the benefit of real-world experience, and render judgments with the benefit of hindsight. But counterterrorism cases are extremely complex and often require a relatively quick series of judgments, often with incomplete information. Counterterror investigations and intelligence gathering aren't black and white, simple, or easy.
America went on a war footing against terrorism only after 9/11. Before then, our government viewed international terrorism strictly as a law-enforcement matter, giving the FBI the responsibility to address it. In that period, the FBI had significant accomplishments, including the apprehension of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers within six days; preventing attacks on New York's most important landmarks with the arrest and conviction of the "Blind Sheik;" sending agents in 1998 to East Africa, where they quickly solved the two US embassy bombing cases without the assets normally available to investigators in America; and, in 2000, dispatching agents after the USS Cole bombing to Yemen, where they determined that al Qaeda terrorists had carried out the bombing. During this period, the Justice Department severely and unnecessarily restricted the FBI's ability to share intelligence information, and Congress acted haltingly to properly resource, fund and provide the legal framework for the FBI's counterterrorism program, including new technology required to defend the nation.
Post-9/11, as al Qaeda and other Muslim extremist groups have demonstrated their obsession with radicalizing U.S. Muslims, the FBI has disrupted a number of plots.
While some claim that collecting and analyzing intelligence is a new phenomenon in the FBI culture, in fact, the FBI's intelligence and counterintelligence mission began before World War II and predates the creation of the fabled OSS and the CIA. Indeed, the FBI has long honed the skills and techniques necessary for success in protecting against international terrorismusing informants, undercover operations, and court-ordered electronic surveillance. Historically, the FBI has collected and analyzed information, whether the threat was the Soviet Union, domestic terrorist groups like the Klu Klux Klan, or organized crime.
Yet such critics as Gabriel Schoenfeld (in his Dec. 4 Post op-ed, "The FBI Bungles on Terror Again") assert, "It's high time to look at creating a new and separate domestic counterterrorism agency along the lines of Great Britain's MI5."
In evaluating this naive and discredited suggestion, we need to consider the following:
Americans have rejected the notion of a national police force for over 200 years. The FBI was not established as a law-enforcement agency until 1933, precisely because the republic wanted to limit the authority of those whom protect our civil liberties.
The FBI is designed to be as transparent as possible for the purpose of protecting the nation, as well as the rights and liberties enshrined in the Constitution. The oversight provided by Congress, the courts, and others have ensured the FBI did not evolve into a secret police force operating in the "Perpetual Black."
While England's MI-5 might be viewed as a panacea, it needs to be examined in light of the long, painful history of its operations in Northern Ireland. Moreover, MI-5 didn't protect England from the London Subway bombings and other acts of terrorism.
It would be difficult, if not impossible, for a myriad of state, local, and federal law-enforcement officials to have effective liaison with a secret domestic police operation.
A painful lesson learned from 9/11 is that the bifurcation of our intelligence and law-enforcement competencies leads to "stove piping" of informationa formula for disaster. Creating a separate secret-police organization would revive that failed modelweakening and balkanizing the law-enforcement and intelligence communities, rather than creating a united, seamless effort.
While many terrorism and legal experts have weighed in, the most qualified critics are the Brits themselves. If fact, many senior British law-enforcement officials criticize the MI-5 model and prefer the FBI's dual criminal and intelligence/terrorism roles.
This isn't to say the FBI can't do a better job integrating these disciplines and more broadly coordinating within the larger intelligence and law enforcement communities. Yet the fact these structures don't always perform seamlessly doesn't suggest the current process is dysfunctional.
Having devoted a considerable amount of my life in the "arena," I am confident the dedicated men and women of the FBI will continue to perform at a very high professional level to protect this great nation, while adhering to constitutional principles and the rule of law.
What is going on here in this country....and I do live in a big city..... : (
Chicago, would have to close down the metra system. Police/National Guard would attempt to keep the city calm.
My car is in Ft Lauderdale right now. I'll be picking it up come February....
How long do we have until the SHTF? I am thinking at least a few months???
Prepare for the Jackbooted THUGS. They are being organized NOW!! Whose gonna go FIRST? The Jackboots or the thugs? CO
Yes, the old soviet constitution permits it.
I have seen this coming for a long time. In fact the creep said he would do this while he was yet campaigning. And right now, he HAS to think of a way to keep the 2010 Elections from happening because NO tyrannt will ever allow HIMSELF or his cabal of lackies surrounding him to be removed thereby removing his power. This guy is a dangerous, hateful, megalomaniac. America is going to have to ACT first. After the fact will be too late. CO
Exsoldier, thank you for this post. My parents are from WW2 Europe. Every word of your post is true.
It seems the times are going to get way too interesting.
Special PFYW, ExSoldier.
I think The Bees Americanus are a special breed and will adapt to your ability to spray them with DDT, smoke and other sorts of weapons in your possession.
Whoops I meant to say Who is going to go first the Jackboots or t=he "We the People"? CO
~~OMG .. what a stunning and profound first hand
account of past history, and what we could someday
Thanks for the ping, Chgogal, and thanks so much
for posting, exsoldier!!
Both were the 'right' guy and 'right' eras just now there is more com available to the public - so perhaps there is a chance again - planning, logistics and communucation would be the areas I'd look hard at.
However, it seems to me that most of those sort of guys are busy writing about their machismo to the detriment of any real thought what would actually be involved...
I don't have any special sauce for those bees, but the big beekeeper in DC does.
Just wish you guys/gals would do more than write "machismo" laced posts... getting very old.
Are the last line of defense against the DC Bolsheviks.
The GOP would be retarded to participate in this scam, good luck HUSSEIN in getting 5 GOP Govs to conspire against their constituency.
Answer: American History; swamp fox. Look it up. You might learn something.
Just so you know, arrogant posters like yourself are so yesterday.
Not applicable.
The socialists are pretty spread out geographically and are not particularly mobile and would be annihilated if they ventured out of their horrendous cities into the real USA.
There were those who said this was the path we were heading down with the Patriot act.
But they would not hesitate to destroy all those who oppose them. Remember that.
But all that it says in the law re this "Board of Governors" is:
The President shall establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions.
Why BHO has decided to do this now when even GWB didn't, is anyone's guess.
No! This YouTube says it all
I knew that info .. but I thought your comment said that the EO's only last as long as the president is in office. If that's not what you meant .. I'm sorry, but that's the way I read it.
This video was taken during the last campaign .. so I don't think any of those vets are from the Vietnam era.
My reference to The Bees Americanus was referring to the American Spirit as exemplified by the Swamp Fox. I am also posting this link for others to remember that the American Spirit is quite amazing.
You clearly have not much idea as to the capabilities of army Special Forces. Certainly they have a mission profile that involves "Direct Action." The fabled Studies and Observation Group (SOG) in the Vietnam conflict specialized in that kind of activity. Assassinations, kidnappings, extortion, sabotage, etc. But the reality is, that would be kind of like using a scalpel to mow the lawn. The true mission is raising indigenous armies, training & equipping them to overthrow a sitting government. Do you know that most SOF guys, the real operators, are sergeants?
The makeup of the average Special Forces "A-Team" is composed of ten sergeants usually in the rank of Staff Sergeant or higher. There are ten of these. A 1LT acts as the Executive Officer and a captain is the commander. In certain situations the XO can take command of half the unit and carry out specialized missions. All "A-Team" operators are cross trained in at least one other specialty so that anybody can readily replace a fallen operator in the middle of a mission.
Most have Bachelor level degrees and many have education going far beyond that. All are multilingual. These aren't your average "knuckle dragging" gorilla. They proudly refer to themselves as the quiet professionals simply because they don't spend any time preening and gathering accolades. It's just not in their nature.
The super secret army outfit called in some circles as the "CAG" for Combat Applications Group and in a more formalized title inside the army: Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. AKA the Delta Force. I think Delta is the "new" SOG. They specialize in so called "Direct Action."
There are thousands of former Special Forces "operators" living quiet civilian lives. I know a few. Trust me, you wouldn't want to get them all riled up for any reason. Remember the mention of how Eric Rudolph managed to run the civilian police ragged trying to hunt him down? He was just a Joe Schmoe infantry private. No special skills and no real experience. How'd you like to have 800 or a thousand combat experienced former A-Team members running around in YOUR backyard looking to cause trouble? Now put all those guys next to the operators from other services like the Navy SEALs and the USMC Force Recon guys. That would be a nightmare for the purveyors of tyranny. IOW, don't be so quick to write these guys off. That's why books are written about their exploits and movies are made....
Check out their hats...they both look like they say "Vietnam Veteran" and they do kind of look like the right age, although with liberals, you can never tell if they actually were veterans or not.
If they are telling anyone what they are doing or not doing they ain't......just my opinion.
Stay safe !
Well .. there is a very left-wing group of VV's, and I suppose they were there on purpose and could be a part of this new "military" Obama is planning.
I guess I was so stunned by O's statements, that I wasn't concentrating on the audience.
You will never convince guys like pif. It's not worth your time. Those who know, know. Those who don't, won't.
FIRST steps??
Well, maybe, but it's coming, regardless of which step it is...
Well then ... since I could use the same handle as you, I can say we will have to simpily agree to disagree.
Agreed! :-)
