Oh Laurie that is gorgeous!!!! It looks so sweet in your home! I think I have had the zombie trance a couple times and you do wonder what people are thinking about you. But, who cares cause you scored big time!!!! I would have liked to seen the picture of the two of you lugging that home!! :)
Have a wonderful day!Well, I dislike you even more now than I did before ;>) I guess it's a good thing I DIDN'T go with you girls because if they only had TWO of those things ONE of us would have been left hanging and I have a sneaking suspicion that because I am the NEW girl on the block that someone would have been ME! (How's that for a run on sentence, teacher?)
Those are absolutely wonderful! I can't believe they were only $40. each. I'll bet you girls about wet your pants laughing on the way to the car!! And to get the birdcage for free...well...what can I say...guess she must have liked you!
That poor kid is probably having nightmares over her "sale" experience! lol xxoo Diana

Neuroinflammation: Modulation by flavonoids and mechanisms of action
Spencer, J. P. E., Vafeiadou, K., Williams, R. J. and Vauzour, D., 2012. Neuroinflammation: Modulation by flavonoids and mechanisms of action. Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 33 (1), pp. 83-97.

Neuroinflammatory processes are known to contribute to the cascade of events culminating in the neuronal damage that underpins neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Recently, there has been much interest in the potential neuroprotective effects of flavonoids, a group of plant secondary metabolites known to have diverse biological activity in vivo. With respect to the brain, flavonoids, such as those found in cocoa, tea, berries and citrus, have been shown to be highly effective in preventing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in both animals and humans. Evidence suggests that flavonoids may express such ability through a multitude of physiological functions, including an ability to modulate the brains immune system. This review will highlight the evidence for their potential to inhibit neuroinflammation through an attenuation of microglial activation and associated cytokine release, iNOS expression, nitric oxide production and NADPH oxidase activity. We will also detail the current evidence indicting that their regulation of these immune events appear to be mediated by their actions on intracellular signaling pathways, including the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) cascade and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. As such, flavonoids represent important precursor molecules in the quest to develop of a new generation of drugs capable of counteracting neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disease.

I find myself making excuses to go to Voltage often. It has the most peaceful, relaxed ambiance of any cafe I've been to. The indoor seating space doubles as a mini art gallery, and they swap out collections every couple weeks or so. Plus, there's free wifi (well, I think it's like an hour for every dollar you spend or something, so basically more wifi than you'd ever need).
Although Voltage is nominally a coffee shop, (I usually can't stand coffee with cream or sugar, but their lattes are seriously so interesting and delicious I can't pass them up), they have a nice selection of teas too — I think they use MEM tea, which seems to be pretty popular around Cambridge. You get it in an adorable little teapot, which sucks if you're bad about letting tea overbrew, but it's nice to be able to control your steep time.
Oh, and they have excellent pastries and snacks. You have to get there early to grab their sandwiches before they run out, though.

Patient eloped yesterday. Late-stage liver disease. Didn't want to be here.
I get paged today by the nurse's station. I walk over there and one of the nurses hands me her cell phone.
"Huh? Who is this?"
"Just say hello."
It was another one of the nurses on our unit. On her lunch break.
"I found that guy who eloped yesterday."
"You found him? What do you mean you found him?"
"He's passed out, in the alley behind [the liquor store three blocks from the hospital]. I saw him, recognized him. The owner was about to call the cops."
"So he's coming back."
"Yeah, he's coming back."
I hung up the phone.
Did not cross my mind until later to wonder why the nurse was hanging out in the alley behind the liquor store during her lunch break, but, hey, I'm sure she had a good reason.

Three Women Tore Through Dallas, Keller and Southlake on a Drug-Fueled Mail-Theft Spree, Feds Say
Flickr user reuben
When a U.S. Postal Inspector interviewed Jessica Nicole Weatherread at the Keller Police Department on December 30, 2011, she made two things clear. One was that she didn't steal the 400 pieces of open mail and packages addressed to Southlake residents that police had found scattered throughout her rental car the day before.
"I don't know how the mail got in the car," she said, reminding her interrogator that she'd had two passengers and that she'd overheard the eyewitness who'd spotted them rifling through the mailboxes saying he wasn't sure who had actually been taking the mail.
The other point: "I love drugs; That's my life."
The federal indictment filed on Wednesday against Weatherred and her two passengers, Paula Elaine Smith Sumera and Susan Lynn Smith, doesn't specify what type of drug she preferred, but the documents do give a pretty good idea of how she financed her habit: She stole lots and lots of other people's mail.

2017 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four - All Sessions Ticket
TicketsSun., Apr. 2, 5:00pm
The scheme wasn't particularly sophisticated. According to the feds, Weatherred, Sumera and Smith would simply drive around emptying strangers' mailboxes and snatching parcels from their front porch.
The credit cards they would use until they were maxed out or canceled, buying gas, renting motel rooms, going on Walmart shopping sprees, and, in one case, visiting Dallas' Lido Adult Theatre & Bookstore. During one four-day period, they managed to charge more than $11,000 to a new Citibank American Express card they'd found in Southlake. Blank checks they would forge. Signed checks they would wash and make out to themselves.
Federal prosecutors didn't immediately file charges following the December 2011 arrest. Court documents don't indicate why, just that the investigation went cold for several months. Then, last November, Smith contacted postal inspectors and said she wanted to talk.
Smith told them she had just been released from prison and "wanted to take care of the December 2011 Southlake matter." She apologized for having refused to be interviewed at the time.
Smith proceeded to confess what authorities had already pieced together, that Smith and the others were using drugs and stealing mail. But she offered important details, explaining that they'd stolen mail in Amarillo, Dallas and Keller before hitting Southlake and that she'd stolen one package from a porch that contained a Crock-Pot.
Smith's interrogator remembered the Crock-Pot, only it wasn't a Crock-Pot. It was a Dutch oven, and it had been a Christmas present for the homeowner's daughter.
Prosecutors now had a confession from one of the culprits, but Sumera and Weatherred were unmoved by Smith's change of heart and continued their alleged mail-theft spree. This past February, police narrowly missed them after they checked in at a Courtyard Marriott in Mesquite using a stolen credit card. In July, a Gainesville man noticed that mysterious charges were showing up on his checking account. In August, they were back in Amarillo.
Sumera and Weatherred were arrested on October 1 in Farmers Branch. All three women face up to 15 years in prison.

You just answered your own question and I dont think they was actually 'recording it' they just meant throw in this kick ass team and see how long they last. Wesker was obviously there to witness it....and they would have gotten away with it to if it wasnt for those medeling kids.
What I mean to say is that if Kevin didn't even exist prior to REMAKE then what was the original intention of the mysterious member of S.T.A.R.S? Since it is obviously before Rebecca joined S.T.A.R.S, it seems to me that it was a member of S.T.A.R.S Alpha team who left prior to the events of the first game. With his departure, Alpha team was left with an empty space on their team which Joseph was brought in to fill. This left an opening in Bravo team which then led to Rebecca's hiring.
Does this make sense?
Plus Kevin wore a yellow vest, like Brad, so it seems unlikely to me that Kevin was created to BE that guy. I mean, Edward got the same color vest from in the picture when he finally made his appearance.

And even then ... nobody is recording the incident.
"Combat data" may also really just a measure of performance anyway. There's no precise definition as to what it is so far. Might have to ask Mr. Kawamura.

book trailers
5 comments:
I LOVED producing mine because I was able to sing in it. I think it worked out really well. If you'd cared to take a peek, I'd be honored! :o)
Jessica @ The Alliterative AllomporphJessica's book trailer is wonderful, and I am so impressed that she produced it and sang in it! I have one, but I didn't do anything but provide the pictures for it.
My husband arranged for its creation via an E-Lance transaction. He bartered some router programming (whatever that is) for the creation of the book trailer. I think it came out pretty good. I like the music he picked.

Snow Daze
This is how much snow we got in December 2009. My husband (Vinnie, a nickname he got growing up with Italians because he is a blond haired blue eyed German / Irish – go figure) was quite upset because he did not get to use his new mega snow blower (being spinally deficient and all.) He sat on the porch while a friend used the machine on its maiden voyage. I'm sure you men out there sympathize with Vinnie.
Big snow like this doesn't happen often in New Jersey. Another big snow storm is due to begin this evening. Send good wishes our way that Vinnie gets to play with his toy tomorrow. If he doesn't, I'm afraid he may cry. That wouldn't be pretty. Real men don't eat chiche and they certainly don't cry (unless their football teams win or they are out of beer.)

Well, Nessa, I vote for Vinnie to stay calm again and let the neighbor do it all winter long.
Thank you for the update on him, I was wondering how he was getting along.
My BIL lets the neighbors clean his driveway and sidewalks. That has been going on for about five years now. They live in Iowa.
..Oh my goodness! Dennis is sniffling for him even as I type! Poor guy... that IS a very sad story! I do PRAY you get AT LEAST as much snow as WE are getting and that he doesn't overdo his back playing with that toy! I know WE don't see it quite the same way... but will he share it with you?
ReplyDeleteMust admit that snow looks lovely! I like the way it is piled up on the mail box.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Panasonic 55" Silver 1080P 3D LED HDTV
By Prasanna
from Westmont, IL
I have bought this TV and ordered it as a Pre order and recieved a TV after a month. Since it wasn't on the market yet. Thanks to Panasonic for giving me such a wonderful product. The picture is so clear and unbelievable 3d experience. I even attempted to view 2d films in 3d that seems unbelivably true and wonderful. I enjoy this HDTV everyday watching lot of movies through netflix and watch youtube. I recommend this product to all those who wants to buy a HDTV. Since I have seen many of my friends bought HDTV internet ready from other products. However when they stream it in the HDTV the buffer rate is too slow. I don't see this issue with my new Panasonic TV. This is truely unbelievable from whatever aspect that I can immagine. I had a concern that I couldn't browse other sites so I have bought a HDMI cable and connected with my television and placed my laptop in my new entertainment center. I don't run between TV and my couch, I have bought a wireless Keyboard and mouse and operate my laptop through this television from my couch. Since I stay far from my parents it's so much helpful to see them bigger through skype (This feature is so cool) and I feel I live with them close. I love this TV and would recommend 100% this TV to my friends. All my friends now planning to buy this television. Simply awesome awesome and awesome Televison. I would be more interested to see the next gen TV's from Panasonic like we can perform our own apps in the TV and use it near computer/ television like. This TV so incredible that I and my wife feel so happy that we bought the right TV from the right retailer ABT at a right time. Kudo's to ABT for delivering it without any damage and for the great service. Great Job Panasonic and ABT. together you made a difference at my home. I Love it

The latest news from academia, regulators
research labs and other things of interest
Posted: Nov 13, 2012 | |
Human eye gives researchers visionary design for new, more natural lens technology |
(Nanowerk News) Drawing heavily upon nature for inspiration, a team of researchers has created a new artificial lens that is nearly identical to the natural lens of the human eye. This innovative lens, which is made up of thousands of nanoscale polymer layers, may one day provide a more natural performance in implantable lenses to replace damaged or diseased human eye lenses, as well as consumer vision products; it also may lead to superior ground and aerial surveillance technology. | |
This work, which the Case Western Reserve University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, and PolymerPlus team describes in the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express ("Optical properties of a bio-inspired gradient refractive index polymer lens"), also provides a new material approach for fabricating synthetic polymer lenses. | |
This shows fabricated lens images (a and d) and measured geometry surface profiles (b/c and e/f) of the aspheric anterior and posterior bio-inspired human eye GRIN lenses. | |
The fundamental technology behind this new lens is called "GRIN" or gradient refractive index optics. In GRIN, light gets bent, or refracted, by varying degrees as it passes through a lens or other transparent material. This is in contrast to traditional lenses, like those found in optical telescopes and microscopes, which use their surface shape or single index of refraction to bend light one way or another. | |
"The human eye is a GRIN lens," said Michael Ponting, polymer scientist and president of PolymerPlus, an Ohio-based Case Western Reserve spinoff launched in 2010. "As light passes from the front of the human eye lens to the back, light rays are refracted by varying degrees. It's a very efficient means of controlling the pathway of light without relying on complicated optics, and one that we attempted to mimic." | |
The first steps along this line were taken by other researchers[1, 2] and resulted in a lens design for an aging human eye, but the technology did not exist to replicate the gradual evolution of refraction. | |
The research team's new approach was to follow nature's example and build a lens by stacking thousands and thousands of nanoscale layers, each with slightly different optical properties, to produce a lens that gradually varies its refractive index, which adjusts the refractive properties of the polymer. | |
"Applying naturally occurring material architectures, similar to those found in the layers of butterfly wing scales, human tendons, and even in the human eye, to multilayered plastic systems has enabled discoveries and products with enhanced mechanical strength, novel reflective properties, and optics with enhanced power," explains Ponting. | |
To make the layers for the lens, the team used a multilayer-film coextrusion technique (a common method used to produce multilayer structures). This fabrication technique allows each layer to have a unique refractive index that can then be laminated and shaped into GRIN optics. | |
It also provides the freedom to stack any combination of the unique refractive index nanolayered films. This is extremely significant and enabled the fabrication of GRIN optics previously unattainable through other fabrication techniques. | |
GRIN optics may find use in miniaturized medical imaging devices or implantable lenses. "A copy of the human eye lens is a first step toward demonstrating the capabilities, eventual biocompatible and possibly deformable material systems necessary to improve the current technology used in optical implants," Ponting says. | |
Current generation intraocular replacement lenses, like those used to treat cataracts, use their shape to focus light to a precise prescription, much like contacts or eye glasses. Unfortunately, intraocular lenses never achieve the same performance of natural lenses because they lack the ability to incrementally change the refraction of light. This single-refraction replacement lens can create aberrations and other unwanted optical effects. | |
And the added power of GRIN also enables optical systems with fewer components, which is important for consumer vision products and ground- and aerial-based military surveillance products. | |
This technology has already moved from the research labs of Case Western Reserve to PolymerPlus for commercialization. "Prototype and small batch fabrication facilities exist and we're working toward selecting early adoption applications for nanolayered GRIN technology in commercial devices," notes Ponting. | |

Team Citroën Total achieves a hat-trick in qualifying, with the second and third places Sébastien Loeb and Yvan Muller.
For the first time this season, a single pilot monopolized the top spot of the three free practice sessions. Even if he never ran on the Slovakia Ring, José María López was necessary as the strong man of the beginning of the meeting.
Saturday afternoon, the sun was at its zenith when competitors were beginning qualifications. In the first session, Yvan Muller and José María López curled a quick turn to position itself among the top twelve. The task of Sébastien Loeb was more difficult: the replacement of a link rear suspension forced him to get back on track in the final minutes to secure his passage to Q2. Sixth despite a fuel pump problem, Seb was still in the pit lane at the start of Q2 for the team to fix it.
Through the work of his mechanics, Seb clinched his place in Q3, as his comrades José María López - fastest time of the session - and Yvan Muller.
Citroen driver first to spring, the Alsatian knew out of the game at the first corner, when he went a little too wide. Sébastien Loeb, however, realized a perfect lap progressing substantially in the sweeping curves of the first sector. This was without counting on José María López, who confirmed his good form by becoming the first to go below 2'04''. With more than 3/10 of margin Sébastien Loeb, Argentina and signed his second pole position of the season after that obtained in Marrakech.
Yves Matton, Citroën Racing Team Principal: "Since the beginning of the season, our pilots to demonstrate their level of homogeneity and the team as a whole is pulled upwards. One race to another, this is the one that achieves the perfect tower wins the pole position. This weekend, Pechito is impressive, but Seb has grown steadily to get his place in the front line. This time it is Yvan which was a little less successful, but it remains that we make a tripled! "
José María López: "I did not know this circuit, but it suits my driving style. I felt good in the early rounds and I have worked with the team to advance the settings of my Citroën C-Elysée WTCC. Even if I had the best time of the first three sessions, I could not let me go, because I knew that Seb and Yvan are improving too. Thank you to all the team, it's always easier when you prepare myself as good a car. "
Sebastien Loeb: "I'm really excited about this position, I do not think I could compete with Jose. These qualifications have been difficult nervously. In Q1, we found a small problem on the suspension and mechanics have repaired just in time for me to make a quick turn. But a few hundred meters from the finish line, I lost power due to a fuel pump problem. I managed to return to the pits and we won a few minutes when Q2 was red-flagged. After earning my place in Q3, the team still had work to change the link that was broken in Q1. Ultimately, I must consider myself lucky to be in this place! "
Yvan Muller: "My chances of pole position vanished into the first corner. I ran wide and I knew it was over for me. I then drove the best, my times in the second and third sectors are also quite good. Tomorrow the start of race 1 will be very important: if my teammates do not make mistakes, it will be almost impossible to overtake. "
Classification Qualifications
1. José María López (Citroën C-Elysée WTCC) 2'03'' 912
2. Sébastien Loeb (Citroën C-Elysée WTCC) 2'04'' 284
3. Yvan Muller (Citroën C-Elysée WTCC) 2'04'' 541

Online poker's Black Friday continues to slowly wind its way through the courts.
The latest loose end tied up yesterday as the DoJ reached a resolution with Avoine that resulted in a dismissal of the company's claims to property seized on Black Friday.
Avoine filed a claim of ownership in January 2012 covering domains names, software and other intellectual property related to Absolute Poker, setting off a legal back-and-forth between the company and the DoJ.
Scott Bell (creator of soon-to-come doc UltimateBeat) saw the decision as a big win for AP/UB stakeholders. As Bell notes, this dismissal should clear the way for the (now-likely-near-to-worthless?) assets of UB and AP to be put on the government's auction block:
The claim of Avoine is hereby dismissed with prejudice… Big event for UB/AP folks, now they can learn how much the site is worth.
— Scott Bell (@ElevenGrover) June 4, 2013
In a 2012 post, Haley Hintze characterized Avoine as a company that "has been alleged to be the true hiding spot of the Americans who really controlled AP in the years following its acquisition of UltimateBet and its flight from America's UIGEA."
Avoine offered a slightly different description of their activities in court filings from October 2012:
From and after October 2006 – when Avoine's predecessor, SGS, divested itself of Absolute Entertainment – and continuing to the present, Avoine has not been the operator of the Absolute Poker website, but has been in the business solely of licensing or otherwise attempting to monetize the value of its intellectual property – i.e., the AP Assets.
It's not clear if the settlement between the DoJ and Avoine is a precursor to a larger deal involving other UB / AP principals.

Well now I am suspecting that there is something strange with your security settings. Are you using a weird site policy for your Java? This might explain the security exception when Batik tries to set the proxy authenticator, and if set restrictively enough it might prevent Batik from finding the images for the 'loading' window. But I'm starting to grasp at straws.

I believe it was 6-screens that was later expanded to 8. It's a pretty nice community plex run by a good operator (clean, well maintained from what I saw on my one visit). Dipson programs this and a former General Cinema in the mall about mile away like a 10-plex (with the mall getting lesser releases, a second screen for stuff at the 8 plex or move-over product).

Two decent female leads won't make up for a male dominated establishment if there are no decent women in supporting roles. Having seen the cast list, it still looks as though they've introduced even more new male characters than women again and some of the new female characters appear primarily to be mothers and sex objects, exactly the same as the first movie. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt but I have insufficient evidence to do at this stage.
Well, Abrams's first two TV series were the very female-centric Felicity and Alias, and he co-created two other series with strong female leads, Fringe and the short-lived Undercovers. And in his Mission: Impossible III, the character who started out as the male lead's love interest ended up being effectively the heroine. As for Kurtzman and Orci, they were briefly showrunners on Xena: Warrior Princess, wrote for Alias, wrote M:I:III, and co-created Fringe. So I think there's plenty of evidence that these creators have no problem putting women in important roles. On the other hand, it's possible that there's studio pressure to aim these movies and tie-in comics at the presumed target demographic of young males.
I'd be interested to see what the expected demographic was for those shows. I'm willing to bet that an awful lot of young men were very happy to watch indeed. I don't think it's a male demographic issue though because that is served by having token cuties running around in short skirts. It always looks like a win/win situation to me - male fans are usually happy to see more women and female fans are happy to see more women. I can only think the lack of supporting women and total lack of older women is subconscious sexism issue on the part of the writers and casting people. I've yet to see any other plausible reason.
^Again, I think the writers' actual record proves that they are more than capable of writing women as more than just eye candy. Evidently you haven't seen the shows and movies I referenced: I have, and I guarantee, the female leads were very strong and central to all of them. So you're absolutely wrong to accuse Abrams, Kurtzman, and Orci of sexism. And I gave you a plausible reason -- pressure from the studio to conform to the target demographic. Surely you're aware that the creators of film and TV are not given total creative freedom, that they have to conform to the wishes of the studio or network executives. A lot of the decisions that shape films and TV shows are made by the executives whose names we don't see rather than the writers, directors, and producers whose names we do see.
Of course I have seen some of those shows and I do applaud those shows for having female leads. Buffy and Xena weren't the first shows to have female leads but they were among the first modern shows to prove that such shows could be phenomenally popular. I'm guessing here but I also expect that if you were to dig a bir deeper into the recurring cast you would find a ratio of 2:1 male:female. That's not terrible but it's not equality and it's also far, far better than the ratio we have in NuTrek at the moment. I think probably Dollhouse and Battlestar Galactica did the best in evening up numbers and prominence of the men and women. Alias had a fairly decent mix too and some fun with its supporting characters as the series progressed but it was a vehicle for the luminous Jennifer Garner and she eclipsed everybody, both male and female - that woman could cry and change wigs in one breath. I wouldn't give Mission Impossible a pass though. The team that was wiped out in the first film was balanced but ever since then we've had no female agents in the implausible second movie, and only one female agent in each of the sequels compared to 3-4 male agents. The male agents have been varying in age, appearance, and skill, while the women are exclusively young and pretty. I freely admit I was gutted when Kristen Scott-Thomas didn't make it into any of the sequels - now that woman could have been an awesome IMF agent.
The first two M:I movies are irrelevant to this discussion because they had no involvement whatsoever from Abrams, Kurtzman, Orci, or any of the other current Star Trek creative team. I was referring specifically to the one film that Abrams did direct and K&O did write, namely M:I:III, whose climactic action Spoiler: M:I:III climax completely inverted the conventional male-hero and female-in-distress roles, allowing Michelle Monaghan's character to save Tom Cruise's life and defeat the bad guy single-handedly.
I think that earlier MI movies are relevant for comparative purposes. The two teams we had were M/F 2/3 and 3/1 in MI1, 2/0 in MI2, and 3/1 in 3 & 4, (I think) with one more man if you count their boss. There has been a consistent imbalance there since the promising start. Thunderball had a great female villain, a competent female CIA agent, and a heroine that saves the hero but I would hesitate to say movie espoused modern-day equality overall. Nonetheless, comparatively, taking into account the nature of the franchise and when it was written, it scores far higher than NuTrek. The role of women may depend upon the nature of the franchise - I don't expect to see equal numbers of female soldiers in a contemporary army film. When dealing with pure fantasy though, I think more effort should be made to apply higher standards of equality. Not every female character should be strong and up there with the main heroes but the same should be true of the male characters. There should be enough characters to give us a decent mix of both sexes. Too many movie writers seem to believe that being a woman is a defining trait in itself so we end up with one woman and a bunch of men with varying skills. It would be better to decide what characters they need and then ascribe the characters' gender. Given their success with franchises featuring female leads 'could do (much) better' springs to mind for NuTrek. Whether pressure is coming from above or not (and I find it hard to believe that producers are saying, 'Use less women') the end result is lacking.
Focusing solely on the team is a very poor basis for analysis in M:I movies, since the first three movies downplayed the team element and focused more on Hunt as a solo protagonist. Ghost Protocol is the only one so far that really plays as an ensemble piece like the original series. So you need to look beyond the team and consider all the characters who were important in the movies. And in M:I:III, there are two very important female cast members who are not members of Hunt's official team -- Keri Russell in the first act, and Michelle Monaghan throughout, especially in the final act. I can't believe you're ignoring the complete inversion of traditional gender roles in the climax of the third film! I definitely agree with that. I just think the evidence proves that it's unfair to accuse Abrams, Kurtzman, and Orci of sexism, because all of them have a proven record writing stories with strong, central female protagonists. If there is pressure to downplay female characters in the films and comic, it's unlikely to be coming from them, given their record. I'm not saying it doesn't exist or that it's acceptable, I'm just saying, don't blame people who don't deserve to be blamed. Why is that hard to believe? Executives have been saying things just like that for generations, meddling in shows and films and comics and forcing them to add or drop or alter characters to fit their views of what the target audience would want to see. Just browse through TV Tropes's pages on Executive Meddling.
I love the team set pieces the most. I could do without the principal hero approach to MI. For my part, a well written standard mission would be more exciting than the oh no everything has gone wrong we have to go up a notch approach that they keep on rolling out. I'm not ignoring the contribution of the women they do have; I'm just saying that a well written smurfette doesn't mean that a movie scores well on the equality front. They are capable of writing their principal women quite well. All they need to do is write for more of them in NuTrek. The movie isn't out yet and they are edging towards increasing female involvement by having two (gasp) prominent women. There should be more and indeed there may be more that we don't know about. We'll have to wait and see. I'm willing to bet there is still a ratio of 2:1 in speaking roles and half those women will be primarily wife/mother/girlfriend/sex object roles.
And what I'm hearing is that you've pre-emptively made up your mind that these creators are sexist and will find a way to twist or dismiss any evidence to the contrary, even though there is abundant evidence to the contrary. That's every bit as unfair and prejudiced as the sexism you claim to be protesting. And yes, you absolutely are ignoring the contribution of the women in M:I:III, if you think you can dismiss them with a term like "Smurfette."
Apparently the Smurfette principle is a real thing! It refers to the tendency of movies to have a single high profile female character as a love interest among a sea of men. I do agree that things have improved somewhat but this isn't all or nothing - there are degrees of sexism. The degree of sexism in nuTrek is currently greater than it could be. I do try to give credit where it is due and MI isn't as sexist as say the Expendables but in the context of the comics to date, they have fallen into the predictable sexist traps of making far more supporting cast members men to a very noticeable degree. I applaud their use of an all-female security team in one issue but yeah, I still think they can do much much better. I want to see it on screen! And it's not that I've made my mind up, it's more that I was so disappointed with their efforts in the first movie that I'd rather keep my expectations low and be pleasantly surprised.
I'm not talking about "movies." As I have repeatedly tried to explain, I am talking about three specific individuals named Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, Alexander Hilary Kurtzman, and Roberto Gaston Orci, and what their own specific creative records show about their ability to create strong, central, empowered female characters. You're obsessing on one isolated example of their work and ignoring all the female-led shows they've created or produced -- Felicity, Alias, Fringe, Undercovers, Xena. It is ridiculous to say that the people behind those shows are unwilling or unable to write about women as more than sex objects or set dressing. I don't even know why you want to claim that about those three specific men. There's plenty of actual sexism out there you're welcome to condemn, but why accuse these three people in particular when the evidence overwhelmingly shows the opposite?
In that case, we are talking at cross purposes. I agree that it is ridiculous to say that the people behind those shows are unwilling or unable to write about women as more than sex objects or set dressing. I moan precisely because they ARE capable of doing better. It is true to say that they have not lived up to those standards in this franchise yet. But it's also true to say they don't write the comics and the people that do have also not lived up to those standards in this franchise yet. As an aside, these stories about the support characters increase the chances of the women getting a bit more airtime. The reason why we've had only one story about one female character is precisely because there is only one female support character of any note so far. We might get a Marcus background story soon, maybe a Rand or Zahra background story, but those are pretty slim pickings when you look at them.
Well, that's just what I've been saying all along. Although I still disagree with you about M:I:III. I've rarely seen such a delightful subversion of macho heroic expectations as the final act of that film. (And I want to make it clear that I'm not including the first two M:I films in my praise. In my opinion, only the third and fourth M:I films are any good.)
The latter two movies were better, I agree, although the first one had some great set pieces in the middle of the film. In that vein though, Nancy Travis's heroine in the Vanishing scores more highly for me.
Another problem is that Trek movies are already have overly large casts. With the Abrams series, you have the 7 principal TOS characters (or 8 if you include Pike) plus a villain plus additional "guest stars" (characters like Sarek and Nero's henchman in XI, Carol Marcus and whoever Peter Weller is playing in STID). Just trying to service all the principal characters is difficult enough, hell the TNG movies never really pulled that off. Add into the mix of introducing a villain and developing them, and this becomes quite a juggling act indeed. I'd say story concerns and just trying to appease the actors under contract are the deciding factor here.
Yes, I agree that part of the problem is the large casts, including the Big 7 but they aren't going to help matters by making Nero a man, by making Robau a man, by making Olsen a man, by making Keenser a male, by featuring a nameless male Vulcan instead of T'Pau, by making Admiral Marcus Carol's dad instead of her mum. I'm not saying that they should all have been female but if they had been, there would still have been more male than female characters. The fact that none of them were really skews the dynamic.
To be honest, what bothers me more than the lack of women is the over abundance of white people. Aside from the Uhura and Sulu, Captain Robau and a nameless Vulcan with no dialogue were the only non-white characters in Trek XI (excluding the Orion girl, who was played by a white actress anyway), and I can't think of any in STID. In fact, if rumours pan out (and I emphasize if and rumours) than STID has cast a white guy to play an Indian character originally portrayed by a Latino actor. In all honesty, whether it's a result of laziness from the production staff or studio meddling, the Abrams Trek movies aren't really aspiring to feature anyone other than white males.
You're forgetting Tyler Perry as the Academy commandant. Plus quite a few nonwhite or mixed-race supporting players -- the Kelvin helmswoman, the alien doctor who delivered baby Jim, the pilot of the medevac shuttle, various Academy cadets and staff, the cameo by Captain Chandra at Kirk's hearing, etc. You're forgetting Noel Clarke and Nazneen Contractor as the London couple that Harrison approaches in the teaser footage. And looking over the cast list on IMDb, I see quite a few nonwhite actors listed as supporting or bit players in this film, just as in the last. Which is one of the main reasons why I don't find those rumors credible.
Quick question: who is "Admiral Marcus" and how do we know about him? Google isn't actually giving me any sources.
