Homes from Hell pilot episode is about investment opportunities in Dubai that went south.
Second episode is about buying overseas and a big buyer beware theme.
Haven
Interesting pilot episode with some really weird moments and cheesy dialogue.
Intervention
Always liked this show!
Homes from Hell
Interesting series especially if you plan on building or buying overseas.
Hung
Good series that has some Breaking Bad similarities (episode about flies)
Scoundrels
Series with Virginia Madsen that started out ok, but is already deteriorating quickly. There were signs of weakness in the pilot script right from the start.
Only two episodes and it is time to move on already.
Persons Unknown Episode 5
This is where the series pretty much unravels and where there is little hope of recovery.

Spiral 2007
Absolutely brilliant movie with great sound track!!!
Thanks. Ready for the cookout and fireworks tonight over the lake here in town. Weather is picture perfect.
Happy 4th of July to American neighbours!!
Boston Medical
Pilot episode was quite good if not hugely original. Very well made but it has to be as there are so many shows about emergency services and operating rooms.

Episode 1 Season 1
I have rarely seen television push the limits of programming to this extent. It will be very interesting to see if they keep running it.
After the season finale of Breaking Bad that will not come back till July 2011, I have been looking for a new show to latch on to
Most Daring is one of the worse "new" tv shows I have been looking at this summer.
Thanks! I checked a few UK shows that were kind of interesting but nothing close to Breaking Bad
I'm addicted to Law and Order. They show the reruns on Saturday mornings on TNT.
Can anybody please suggest a tv series they really like?
Thanks!!
Anybody have a cheap replacement product to clean ceramic cooktops?

The Box has to be one of the strangest movies yet and really not that good, imo
Cameron Diaz is a total out of place role here

recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

The kitchen is the heart and soul of the home
That was certainly true in pioneer days when families were close and functional. No reason why we should not go back to that principal - who knows it may save society from its downward spiral.
Large Kitchens of America Unite! I can hear my appliances cheering that one all across the city!!
I was going to say screw the fridge and put in a small walk in fridge that has a rear door that leads into a small walk in freezer.
But I thought naw, that's way too over the top.
I changed my mind.
I crewed on a tugboat once that had a setup like that and it was sweet. The entry corridor was all dry goods floor to ceiling that led to the fridge / freezer.
No cabinet doors, no guessing on what you have, it was all right there.
The kitchen is the heart and soul of the home [some may beg to differ] design a nice tight kitchen that is functional that can accommodate several cooks and helpers working on multiple cutting boards and all not getting in each others way is the goal in my mind.
So many restaurants have dysfunctional kitchens it isn't even funny.
I just want one that is functional and comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
I remember when shopping for stoves that you could pay as high as you wanted for one if you had unlimited funds. I have a relative who has a country estate that he built himself based on his own architectural plans. It is a palace in the middle of nowhere and you would absolutely love their kitchen. I am sure you could cook up a storm for an army easily and never panic for one instant from fear of not having the room for another pot to boil or pan to cook ... I thnk the walk-in fridge is the best ... I hide there a lot when I visit because it is full of beer and wines.
That is so worthy of the Wombat Board!
We lived with a stove for about 9 months that one of the burners quit on. You had to bang on it to get it to work.
I think the last time I burned myself on it by banging on it I said you're toast.
Haaaa see how they are.
They revolted on you.
LMAO! Your old microwave actually sometimes would not work, took the day off and the LED screen actually said "FU"?
That's a stitch.
Convection ovens are sweeeeeeeeeeeet, I just have the conventional with the ceramic top.
My next dream oven will be a double oven with a warmer up top.
Actually, I want an island kitchen as big as a four car garage with multiple stoves.
I want an old time wood cook stove vented into the chimney. [I've used these for baking before and with a nice even fire they work great] Nostalgic / practical value I want a fireplace right in the friggen kitchen just in case I want to fire it up for whatever... heat, fire / coal grilling, indoor smoker for in the winter,
I want a gas stove with a nice big commercial quality steel grill able to handle a mess of food at one time. Just in case the electric goes out and the generator doesn't work and I don't feel like building a fire in the cook stove.
I want a big double oven electric Convection five burner ceramic for the mainstay stove works.
Just starting on the plans for the new house to hold all this stuff.
Got any ideas for further development?
I want it to be as green as possible.
ROFLMFAO -- you funny!
It seems planned obsolescence is apart of everything now a days. Old stuff just lasts longer than the new stuff.
It's all profit generated, if they make quality stuff that last forever, they might go out of business before you get around to buying another one...lol
Trying to think of just one thing that lasts longer, or as long as it used too.
The only thing I can come up with is sex.
No, wait a minute..
Ya I heard those guys whispering a lot behind my back before leaving for the trip. I think they were saying something like, " you gonna pay you POS for leaving us alone for a month with nothing to do but stare off into space!".
I should specify that although the frideg died a gruesome death, the stove still worked except for the broiler part and the microwave was a HUGE honker that weighed about a ton but it did work well most of the time, but every 4 or 5 months it took a break and the touch panel would not respond except with FU!
If it was just up to me I would have just kept on living with disabled appliances till they died completely, but I have to admit that the Samsung convection oven with ceramic top sure is a sweet machine. They are all stainless steel so they get along pretty good at night when we close the lights .....
Good to hear --- it will last a lot longer unless they have embedded self-destruct software in all appliances no matter where they are made!
I don't expect my oven, fridge, or furnace to last as long as their predecessors.
I won't buy an extended warranty on most appliances. The frig I might consider one on but for stove, dishwasher and washer dryer I can pretty much fix those myself. Or pull them out and replace in less than an hour.
Stoves are pretty indestructible and not much can go wrong if you don't overload it with electronics.
If I get 5 years out of the dishwasher, washer and dryer I'm relatively pleased. Current regime have all lasted beyond that. Whirlpool dishwasher and kenmore for washers and dryers.
I think the annual subscription price to consumer reports goes a long way in saving me headaches later.
Humm.. I called Whirlpool corporation and they told me they have manufacturing facilities in Benton Harbor, MI and in Ohio somewhere.
So, apparently made in the USA label applies to the refrigerator I have.

They did offer me an extended warranty for I think 5 years and a manufacture warranty for 1 year.
Hey OU,Seems to me I remember reading of your travels on Churaks travel board, looks like you had a nice trip until you got home.
They say things happen in threes, so it looks like your appliances all got together and conspired against you..lol
The microwave I haven't replaced, it's pre-digital all mechanical doesn't have a clock just a knob selector, the setting and push button on.
It's a Sharp carousel II a big one, and has run flawlessly since sometime in the seventies I think.
Already replaced the stove with a ceramic top by GE, love it.
I've watching the Sunday ads and checked out consumer reports. If it so much as hiccups I'll have a new one in, in less than an hour.
Well... my amana was still running on the circuit but the draw was high and when I turned on the tiny electric oven for just a small time period it would blow the circuit breaker.
So that was my telling sign it was time...lol
I didn't go with the stainless because it shows fingerprints and is a pain in the backside to keep clean so I went with the side by side whrilpool silver with the back sides.
Our fridge of 25 years old plus died while we were gone cruising for a month last November in the Med. Had to borrow a bar fridge while looking for a new one. Ended up buying a Frigidaire Professional and we like it a lot. Stove and microwave died at almost same time and they were all about the same age. I guess they were due, but what irritated me is that salespeople insisted we take warranties because they said these new appliances would prolly not last ten years. What a vote of confidence towards new appliances built today overseas?
I have been thinking the same thing. We have been in the house since 1993 and replaced everything but the frig which is a Whirlpool. I think I'm pushing my luck.
Anybody been to Copenhagen here? I need a reco for a hotel for three nights. Expedia has a few good ones but not sure which is best ... tia
Just dumped the side by side Amana purchased in 1987, made it 23 years, still running, I just thought it was time to get a new one.
Going to try a whirlpool side be side, everything on the floor comes with an ice maker these days in the side by side.
I have enough irons in the fire without ones I brought on myself.
Or as they say, if it ain't broken don't fix it.
That sounds like what I should say to myself -- let the bugs iron themselves out before you fray a passageway yourself for future users.
