My fiancee has NEVER seen this. I guess I'll have to get it on AppleTv for 9.99 (damn!) - but it's VITAL that she is exposed to the magic. - Steve Isaacs
I watch this pretty much every year. - Brian Norwood
Yep, right on schedule, Steve. That first taste of red meat is always jarring, and never gets any better. - Steven "Snake" Perez
met a meat farmer today - told me most burger is from old (9-10 year old) dairy cows and he won't buy any meat he didn't raise - usually slaughters at age 2. He said too much medicine given over that span of time for the dairy cows. He also said no chicken for him unless free range - for size of chicken ~~way~~ to much meds given to them. Interesting seeing how yukky you feel eh- maybe we just need younger burger? - jlt
I would also agree that perhaps a better 'class' of meat in general might not be as disagreeable to your system. Perhaps try some ground buffalo. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
"Halloween is a 1978 American independent horror film set in the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween. The original draft of the screenplay was titled The Babysitter Murders. John Carpenter directed the film, which stars Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis, Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, and Nick Castle, Tony Moran and Tommy Lee Wallace sharing the role of Michael Myers (listed in the credits as "The Shape"). The film centers on Myers' escape from a psychiatric hospital, his murdering of teenagers, and Dr. Loomis attempts to track and stop him. Halloween is widely regarded as a classic among horror films, and as one of the most influential horror films of its era. In 2006, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"." - Steve Isaacs

for me, this was THE scariest movie of its genre. the part near the beginning where he's stalking jamie lee, disappearing and reappearing behind the bushes still bugs me out - Cee Bee
ack, that movie made my adrenals work way too hard! Suspense, camera angles...a classic. - jlt
Greatest horror movie ever. The end. - Mark Wilson
This movie scared the living crap out of me, but it's well done. - Molly, the Muse
It's my favorite horror movie. I'm also deeply saddened that I have to sell my VIP pass for the 30 Years of Terror convention that is celebrating this fine film. Carpenter and JLC are rumored to drop in. - Andy Triefenbach
Not really, there are opportunities but you'll find the usual safe bets are still overvalued. Market needs to drop further - Cains
DJI is overvalued at anything higher than 7000. However, individual companies may be a good value now. Do your research carefully, as always. Study the history of the company, its business philosophy, its leaders and the general history of the industry. Please note I am NOT a financial adviser (but I did stay at a...) - Mark VandenBerg
patience, if you want to invest wait until the storm is over. - Adrien Susini
It's coming up soon, but it is not today I will tell you that. - Steve Spalding
The best advice is the same you give to people going to Vegas.. only ever spend money you can afford to lose. And always assume that money is lost until proven otherwise. - alphaxion
Yes. 97% of the five-year periods in the market's history have made money. 100% of the 10-year periods have. Everything is on sale right now. - Dave Roth
I disagree Dave, the last 10 year period has been a real loser. Here's advice based on what I'm hearing from experts, take it with a grain of salt or a bucket of pepper, your choice: 1) Don't invest money into the markets if you need it in less than 5 years 2) The S&P 500 is so low right now that it's a good time to invest, but only do so using Dollar Cost Averaging http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... 3) If you really think that the market is going down further from here invest in shorts... - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
like QID...but this is a very risky bet given how much value has already been lost. 50/50 odds at best...and is a completely short term bet. But if you are right you could make a quick 10% or so. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
buy for long term and look at stocks that pay dividend - ex GE, Heinz or medical stocks - Phillips, Siemans, Toshiba. - jlt
Alex, the Dow is still up over the past ten years. First week of October 1998: 7889.52. This minute: 8142, and that doesn't even count re-invested dividends. I do agree that dollar-cost averaging is the way to go. - Dave Roth
Yes. Just review a companies debt to ratio, cashflow and your own internal 'necessity' clock. This last step is the most important because the more necessary the company the more likely it will come out of the downturn like a darling making you loads of cash. You can also always buy liquidation stocks as they will perform very well over the next 18-24 months. Don't wait as Alex says just buy slowly and steadily into the market over the next couple months. Watch and research - *Hammered Canadian*
Look for stocks where the market cap is lower than cash on the books. Those may still go down but you can be sure they're worth at least that much. Also, some closed-end funds are trading at enormous discounts. - Morton Fox
Steve, I'd wait a little while before doing that; their going to tank even further. - Michael Forian
I had always wanted to buy Google - any advice on how low it might go before moving in? - Steve Isaacs
Wait a week, Q3 earnings call coming up on the 16th, will be interesting to see their forecast - Cains

it always helps a cause when crazy lady jumps in the camera 10x. I liek this interviewer asking how long they've known either candidate. Ah, are the ignorant going to run our country (again) - anna awesomesauce
I'm going to claw my eyes out. I really hope that Obama takes Ohio. These people will be completely crushed. - Aaron Hood
Aaron - with the Acorn crap coming out - wouldn't be surprised if Ohio is booted from the election. - jlt
This video has shaken me pretty deep, actually. 8^( - Chieze Okoye
So sorry, Steve. Our cats had a degenerative kidney disease about which v. little could be done, and they lived w/o pain (just v. hungry and thirsty) for a good long while after diagnosis. I hope Spike's remaining days are comfortable and happy. - Ayşe E.
Sorry to hear Steve. My cat had liver disease. I did everything I could to give us a few more months together. I just lost him last month. I'm there w/you. - Dawn
Sorry to hear that Steve. I hope you get a lot of quality time with Spike over the next few weeks. - Peter "that one" Ghosh
Thanks everybody - really appreciate the kindness :) - Steve Isaacs
