The Asylum '97 & The Asylum 2000's (also; mentioned but not available The Asylum '72)
Ok so, somehow netflix got two movies with the same goddamn name, mixed, nothing wrong, just that I'm a lazy bastard and I feel it could be cool to do this a double feature, kill two birds with one rock you may say, but that is just plain wrong and a dick move, unless it's a goose, those beasts are mean and probably the assholes of the winged animal society, many times I've been threatened by their weird goose noise and beady eye and they leave an incredible amount of shit everywhere, damn. Anyways, thing being there also had 2 other movies mixed here, so one is not available, the other has the name, the synopsis and description of the former, but IT'S NOT IT and even though apparently netflix tried to fix this twice (movie was pulled out of streaming) it's still an epic fail, the last one it's just a poor excuse for a visual exercise in post taco bell diarrhea.
Asylum '72
This is not the film the netflix streaming is telling you it is, this a different one, the name might be the same but it has Robert Patrick in it and it's not the Asylum with Peter Cushing and some crazy body parts. If you can actually find this asylum it's totally worth a watch.
Asylum '97
From what I heard, this one had a T9000 trying to find sarah connor, this one is even better than the one in T2, since instead of just trying to get into the hospital fucking shit up left and right, he gets himself locked in and treated like a patient, added a moustache to his human disguise (a molestache, actually) and plays dumb for 2 hours, until he gets himself in a very bad position and the main doctor is tired of his shenanigans, so he straps him to a chair and tries to do something bad to him, that apparently he has been doing to a lot of the other patients, mainly because the food is bad and their farts smell is putrid, so he was trying to make them smell a little less putrid, but actually got them to obey his orders or enlarge their penises, i forgot which one, mr. T9000 didn't like one or the other, so hi killed the baddies and scaped. He later got to work with mulder and scully too so there is that.
Not a bad movie, but a lot of long quiet parts that made me lose track of what the fuck was going on, and the weak plot made in a bland movie, like a lukewarm bowl of chilly, I went through all of it and yeah I finished it, but won't ever want to do it again.
Asylum (2000)
Well, this other one, damn. Straight to Tv movie, this other one was annoying and impossible to follow, after a few moments my annoyance grew so high, that I started having hallucinations, so I decided to stop it, not because of the hallucinations but because it was making me to get in a bad mood and shit son, you don't want to be around when I'm in a bad mood, I get all grumpy and whiney and my eye twitches. Regardless, this piece of pseudo suspense is poorly done and I recommend for your own sanity to avoid it, maybe even write a letter to netflix, asking them to instead of removing the bearable ones, and putting this crap that quality is only comparable to trying to shit a hangover and eat a double whooper at the same time, try to keep a decent level of quality.

"These labels are simple and elegant, and with my daughter and her fiance living together it made address labels easy because you don't have to have a last name on them"
"I absolutely love these wrap around labels. They are one of a kind and I was able to customize them to my exact wants. Instead of saying 'the marriage of' I was able to have them changed to say 'save the date'. I was also able to have them printed in a charcoal grey to match my wedding colors. I just love them!"
"Thought it would be a nice added touch for the envelope. I cut the labels and used the part with the return address on the front of envelope and the other part on the back flap of the envelope. Will use this on my invitations."
"I ordered return address labels for my wedding invitations. The process was quick and the labels looked exactly how described. I am so happy with how they turned out."
"I was very happy with the quality of these labels. They looked exactly as I was expecting, if not better. I would definitely order again."

He's doing a ping pong table? How cool is that--a designer tennis table! (And smart, too, as it's such a hot trend right now...ping pong is to the 2010's what yoga was to the 1990's).
"It's beach living for the everyman."
Wait. What? The chaise alone will run you about $2,600, the bed $4,500.
Yep, this is furniture for your average Joe alright.
james perse bedding is AMAZING... a great investment if you are all about comfort.
James Perse sells basic sweatshirts and tshirts to the well heeled. No logos. No decoration. Just pricey and plain. Because who wants to wear a plain cotton heather gray sweatpant that costs $39 from The Gap when you can spend $200 instead.
That "everyman" line is just marketing nonsense (or wizardry, depending on which side of the cash register you are sitting).
I love James Perse, I wear the pieces I can afford and covet the ones I cannot. I've been in the NYC and LA James Perse stores and both spaces are wonderful. This furniture however, I don't get it. I love the simple shapes and no frills silhouette, but I think this would translate better (and perhaps justify the price tag) if the finishes and materials used were a bit more exotic or refined.
I prefer Save Khaki to James Perse when it comes to cotton shirts.
As long as I have on my Sea Shepherds jolly roger black knit hat, im good. :)
I sleep in James Perse boxers. They're super comfy and deconstructed... and all that I can afford at his store!
Of course, Richard. Perse is all about "casual" so the everyman tag is just part of the pose.
Of course, $39 at the GAP only seems cheap if you aren't comparing to prices at Old Navy, Wal-Mart, and the local thrift shop. :-) (Ironically, only the last probably has any "make" to it. I like my clothes to last, rather than change them every three months, so I haunt the thrift stores more often than the other two.)
When I look at that couch (and some of the other pieces), all I think of is how it's gonna hurt like a mofo when you sit down and accidentally hit that wooden corner. I prefer more softness to my living room seating. (this all seems in opposition to his soft clothing)
I love how "everyman" usually seems to translate to overpriced items of average quality (considering the price).
Never understood the designer hype myself.
Melissa82 I somewhat agree with you on the designer hype as most "designer" goods are simply a licensed name or logo stamped onto average looking mass made in china goods. Being that a have a degree in Apparel Manufacturing designer clothing is commonplace in my closet but only the stuff worth spending big dough for. Designer furniture is a new realm for me and to be honest, thus far the only examples I have come across that I am of the opinion that in exchange for high price points, you do get quality and taste...Ralph Lauren Home. OMG who else out there makes a modern chic club chair out of 100% CARBON FIBER!! As well as a table, bed, and tableware. Sure the chair alone is $35,000 but that aside, if money were no object...
Moreover... the sofa from Perse shown above looks no different than what Ikea offers for a few hundred dollars. Not in the least bit impressed with anything about that sofa. If your able to spend $6,000 or more on a good sofa you really cannot go wrong with anything from Herman Millers Eames collection. Ray and Charles Eames are pretty much the originators of mid century modern. Timeless.

The Dockside GREEN Development is a fifteen-acre master-planned community designed to reflect a more responsible approach to the environment. Open, natural and inviting. Everything has been designed to bring people together with the environment. You can live at Dockside Green with a clear conscience knowing you are supporting a community that will enhance the health and well-being of residents and the ecosystems, now and in the future. Dockside Wharf is the first neighbourhood to be complete in 2009, it is at the north end of Dockside Green, Dockside Wharf is where you'll find 'Synergy' (finished in 5-6 months from now). Built around a central plaza, you'll be able to watch neighbours go by from your table at the harbourfront restaurant, pick up fresh bread at the organic bakery or go for a workout in the fitness room. The construction team is hard at work and things are busy. The low-e double glazed windows are up in the 'Synergy' building, which will provide an isolate value that will assist in keeping residences warmer in the Winter and cooler in the Summer. The roof and interior framing is also complete, and the team has begun installing the elevators. The construction of the naturalized creeks and pond system that will run through the entire Dockside Green site is now underway. Designed to bring natural beauty into the community and manage storm and waste water on site, the first sections of the Greenway base have already been placed and compacted. * Designed by award-winning Busby Perkins + Will Architects * Project is targeting (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) LEED Platinum certification on building. The Developer has agreed to a financial penalty to the City if Platinum certification is not achieved. Dockside Green will be the first complete community ever to accomplish this standard. * Construction in mid-rise towers will consist of concrete and steel, including seven inch thick solid reinforced concrete floors. * Energy efficient building design offers 50 to 60 per cent energy savings * 100 per cent fresh air system with heat recovery ventilator * Over-height ceiling in most living areas * Thick, insulated acoustically engineered walls between suites * Low VOC paint-finishes, and water based sealants and adhesives for a healthy indoor environment...and so much more! * Warranty includes 10-year structural defects coverage, 5- year envelope coverage and 2-year limited materials and labour coverage.
Dockside GREEN - The future of sustainable design. Overlooking Victoria's prestigious harbour Dockside Green is a visionary development at the forefront of global urban planning. It will be a unique urban harbourfront community made up of three distinct neighbourhoods. As a LEED Platinum targeted community, every neighbourhood is created around the principles of smart growth, green building and sustainable community design emphasizing beauty.
Dockside GREEN/Synergy's interiors feature environmentally friendly materials and design that promote healthy living and offer cost-savings to residents. Everyone always ends up in the kitchen at any dinner party so they have taken the liberty of designing a space that allows for maximum flexibility and openness. The bathroom is designed with an organic approach, Synergy's bathrooms offer a spa-like feel with natural colours and recycled materials like glass accents...plus imported large scale italian porcelain tile.
Below is an article that was in the Daily Victoria Newspaper 'Times Colonist':
Andrew Duffy, Times Colonist Published: Saturday, August 18, 2007
Dockside Green residents, who start moving into their homes next spring, will be able to track and change their energy, heat and water use as well as their carbon footprint, thanks to the installation of a Victoria-made monitoring device.
Reliable Controls MACH-stat system, which is being installed in two Dockside buildings and will eventually be in place throughout the $600-million, 1,000-unit development, will allow residents to keep a close eye on their consumption.
The idea of the monitor aligns with the goals of Dockside, which has been designed to minimize its environmental footprint.
"In our research we found when you put meters in suites that measure hot water, cold water, heat and electricity, when you give people real information, they tend to use less", said Joe Van Belleghem, Dockside co-developer. "This allows them to compare what they are using one day to the next or one month to the next. And we've taken the technology and innovated and modified it so it could also show residents how much carbon they are saving as well."
Van Belleghem says the device is much more than just the newest piece of environmental technology as there is also a clear economic benefit, especially if a pilot project undertaken by B.C. Hydro to study variable rate pricing is adopted on a larger scale.
Hydro could send messages over the meters saying, "We are in peak energy times and if you don't use your dryer right now there will be a savings to you", he offered as an example. Dockside is in discussions with Hydro to be included in an expanded pilot project, Van Belleghem said.
The monitors can also be programmed from remote locations, meaning residents will be able to log on to the Internet from anywhere in the world and manipulate the heat and energy use in their suites.
It's a feedback tool that should hopefully change peoples behaviours, that's the biggest strength of it, said Joe LeRoy, controls division manager at Houle Electric, which customized Reliable's system for the development. If you had your electricity meter at your kitchen table you would be a lot more cognizant of your power demands because it's right there.
The system Dockside is installing costs about $2,000 per suite. LeRoy said if a homeowner wants to add it to a house, the one-time expense would depend on size and how complex a system is installed.
The typical homeowner would be looking at spending between $2,000 and $3,000 at Houle, which sells Reliables systems.
Dockside is also trumpeting the fact that the technology was developed locally by Reliable Controls, which Van Belleghem argues is part of the sustainability message.

Mike Ilitch has officially notified the Pistons about his interest in purchasing the team. The franchise currently resides in the suburb of Auburn Hills, playing at the Palace, but Ilitch wants to secure a new downtown arena to house both the Pistons and Red Wings.
Ilitch, who also owns the Red Wings and Tigers, said the basketball team needs to remain in Detroit. Piston's owner Karen Davidson hopes to have the team sold prior to the upcoming season. The franchise could be sold by itself or as part of a package with Palace Sports and Entertainment.
Forbes has valued the Pistons at 479-million dollars but reported last week that the team could sell for at least 100-million dollars below market value. It cited the local economy and NBA labor uncertainty as contributing factors. The lease for the Red Wings' current home at Joe Louis Arena expired on June 30th while the Pistons haven't called Detroit home since leaving Cobo Arena for the Pontiac Silverdome in 1978.

Does Hamlet love Ophelia? Is she his "dream" or "goal"? Why?
6 Answers | Add Yours
At Ophelia's funeral, Hamlet jumps into her grave and shouts, "I loved Ophelia!" I think we should take him at his word but he did have an odd way of showing his love. He burst into her room, frightens her and then leaves without saying a thing. He attacks her and tells her to "get to a nunnery." At the Mousetrap, a play he schedules to judge Claudius' guilt, he both teases and mocks Ophelia. Then, thinking he is killing Claudius, he accidently kills her father, Polonius. Certainly, she has a right to doubt his love. To keep of the ruse that he is mad, he doesn't console Ophelia but instead makes a joke out of what he's done with Polonius' body. Perhaps he was so caught up in his search for revenge that he forgot about Ophelia's feelings. Unfortunately for both Hamlet and Ophelia, she believes she has lost both her father and Hamlet, so she kills herself. Hamlet is left without his love, who could perhaps have given him some better guidance and smoothed the hatred between Hamlet and her brother. This would have isolated Claudius but deprived the audience of a great last scene of the play.
I think Hamlet loved Ophelia in a way...Had everything been rosy in Denmark and had his father not been murdered, etc., he and Ophelia probably could have had a lovely life together. But he didn't feel that he could really trust her. He knew she was manipulated and used by her father, Polonius, who would give his left leg if it meant ingratiating himself to the king. Polonius had completely control over his daughter, which meant that Hamlet felt that he could not confide his fears and concerns to her (maybe he should have anyway - maybe she would have been worthy of his trust - but then, it wouldn't have been Hamlet!).
I am sure that he felt a great deal of loss when he realized that she had drowned (and it's not conclusive in the text that she drowned herself - it could have been an accident because of her completely loss of sanity by that point - Gertrude's description does not allude to a suicide). But he felt a much greater sense of loss at the death of his father, so I, personally, am not sure that really had a deep, mature love for her. She definitely wasn't his "goal," as your question asked. His goal was revenge for his father's death.
If Hamlet had to answer this question, he would probably wander off in a very long monologue on exactly what the nature of love is. :) For me, the real question is "If Hamlet loved Ophelia, how deeply, and when did he stop?" It is hard to know much about their relationship before the play; it certainly insinuates a romance, with stated emotions on Hamlet's part. Ophelia seemed upset about his rejection of her, so she was certainly under the belief that he loved her. His rejection was either because his sentiments for her were not deep enough to tie him to her through a very difficult time for him, or because he didn't want to taint her with "things rank and gross in nature" that he felt were all around him. If the first, no, he didn't truly love her; if the second, his love was strong enough-even if a bit misguided and naive about the nature of female happiness-for him to act in what he might have considered a "noble" manner.
If she was his "dream", I feel that she represented all that was happy and loving before the harsh reality of conniving uncles, fickle mothers, and untimely deaths tipped his world upside down. She was the pleasant dream of what might have been, if he hadn't been infused with cynicism and melancholy from his circumstances.
hamlet love ophelia but he preference revenge first...so he forget her Love for some time...when ophelia is dead he realize that she is his love....bt it does'nt mean to say that ophelia is his goal...he is love her across the limit....its means...he is dearly Love her...bt his goal is to take a revenge to Claudius...
Hamlet loved Ophelia- but he was so damaged and jacked up himself. He could let himself trust her and be completely venerable with her. He just choose not to give her a chance to hurt him, and at the funeral he regretted it.
I think it is like those guys and girls who come from a troubled past so now, they don't let anyone in( Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting).
I do believe Hamlet loved Ophelia. But I am wondering if anyone feels the same way about Act II Scene I, when Ophelia comes to Polonius terrified at the situation that just occured between Hamlet and her (when he comes into her room disheveled and wildly unkept and that whole "mad" scene ensues). To me, I felt as if this was when he was making his first move to plant the seed of his maddness into the minds of the other characters. He knew that Ophelia would tell her father and from there he would tell Claudius. However, I feel as if this was Hamlet's final time with Ophelia where he could express his love for her. I feel as if behind his craziness there was a hidden sincerity, for instance, " [h]e falls to such perusal of my face As he would draw it [...] he rais'd a sigh so piteous and profound As it did seem to shatter all his bulk". To me this just seems so heartfelt, as if he is finally resigning his fate, that even though he loves her, he loves revenge more, or rather it is his duty in life to fufill his father's revenge and so he must give up on it. Does anyone else see this scene with this significance behind it??

Spin cycle
Date: July 14, 2010
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
Kelly Insinna can thank Britney Spears for helping launch her DJ career.
The 36-year-old Booker High School graduate got her start spinning CDs 11 years ago while working as the manager of Camelot Music at the Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.
It was 1999 and Spears had just released her debut single, "Hit Me Baby One More Time," which every Top 40 club DJ wanted. The album was so catchy, even Insinna had it in her car stereo.
Local DJ George Rodriguez had just dashed into the music store wanting to purchase a copy. He said he needed it for a gig, but Camelot was sold out. So Insinna let him borrow hers, and in return Rodriguez invited her to hang out with him in his DJ booth at Club Therapy off Clark Road.
"I really got into what he was doing," says Insinna, who soon started working as Rodriguez's light technician in exchange for $75 and a six-pack of Coors Light.
She booked her first solo gig at Therapy — Wednesday night Ladies' Night. She lied about her experience to get the gig. The first time she deejayed, she had trouble even turning on the equipment.
It didn't take long before Insinna had a DJ name and an image — DJ Sinna-G, a sprightly house DJ with a multi-colored mohawk and a penchant for beat-matching Top 40 dance tracks with hits from the 1970s.
"It's what gets the most response from the crowd," Insinna says. "I think it's the reason I've gotten as far as I have, because I play music people can relate to."
One of a handful of local DJs who still spins from CDs, Insinna says she's hesitant to work from a laptop.
Like the diehard vinyl enthusiasts that came before her, she has a hard time parting with her CD collection.
She says she's not ready to give up the "slippage."
"If the beats-per-minute never deviate, you defeat the purpose of what you're doing," Insinna says. "Playing from CDs is a lot like playing from vinyl. You can still manipulate speed."
A night owl with boundless energy, Insinna recently finished a five-month stint playing chill-lounge music at Pacific Rim in Sarasota's Hillview District.
She's now working as a project manager at the HuB, the technology incubator/warehouse hotspot responsible for organizing this week's Vinyl Music Festival (VMF), a four-day electronic music party featuring more than 50 local and national DJs, including star headliners Scooter & Lavelle, Paul Mendez, Shawn Rudnick and Madam Malixa.
The event, only in its second year, is estimated to draw more than 5,000 club-goers to Sarasota. According to Insinna, more than half the rooms in the Hyatt Regency, Sarasota were booked by the end of June.
"It's going to be huge," Insinna says. "I'm getting chills just thinking about it."
DJ SINNA-G's TOP 3 DJs
Deep Dish
"They're a really funky duo."
Georgie Porgie
"Really soulful, throwback music."
"They've got a great disco vibe."

The Vinyl Music Festival runs July 15 through July 18 at club venues around Sarasota. For a complete list of DJs and events, visit www.vinylfestival.com.

- Yes or No 1 & 2
I finally processed the information on the leads for the top 250 grossing films (I'm going to do 500 in all), and I have some really, really great facts:
- Of the films, 209 starred a straight white man, or had a straight white male voice actor. This translates to 83.6% of all these films having a straight white male protagonist.
- This left only 41 films with a protagonist who was a person of colour and/or woman (no films had a queer protagonist). This translated to 16.4% of all the films.
- "So what? Straight white men are the majority group in America." a) no, the largest demographic group in America is actually technically straight white women, and b) not by 83.6% they fucking aren't.
- If we look at American demographics (America is where these films are being made and mostly marketed for, after all) we find that only 31.3% of people in the USA are straight white men, while 68.7% are not.
- This means that 31.3% of the US population is recieving 83.6% of the representation, and the remaining 68.7% majority are squabbling over the remaining 16.4%. That's unbelievably, amazingly shit.
BUT: The world isn't split into straight white men and everyone else, so let's break this down further. Of the 41 films left over for the rest of us:
- 10 starred a straight black man. (8 of these leads were played by Will Smith.), making up 2.5% of all the films.
- 26 starred a straight white woman, making up 10.4% of all the films.
- 2 films starred straight South Asian men, making up 0.8% of the films.
- 1 film starred an East Asian man and 1 starred a Middle Eastern man - 0.4% of the films each.
- A grand total of ONE of the 250 highest grossing films of all time stars a woman of colour. Scraping in at number 242, and made in 1995, it's Pocahontas; which is racist as fuck and demeans the memory of a real Native American woman. Fantastic. It'll also probably have fallen out of the top 250 by the next year, while no other films with WoC leads seem likely to replace it.
- This means that huge demographic groups are missing. 16.3% of people in the US identify as Latin@, and not a single film on this list has a Latin@ protagonist.
- Roughly 10% of the US identifies as LGBT+. None of these films has a queer protagonist.
- The reason that these films are so high grossing is because of the marketing they recieve. Studios are putting all of their money into films with straight white men, preventing casting of women and people of colour and just generally fucking people over; but this isn't any necessary indication of what people are willing to see at all. It's worth noting that the single most successful actor on that list is Will Smith. People are clearly willing to pay out money to watch Will Smith doing stuff, and studios are backing this and enabling more and more films of Will Smith (and his son) doing more and more stuff. His popularity shows fairly clearly that cinemagoers are definitely willing to watch (and probably actively demanding of, seeing as people of colour and white women are more likely to go to the cinema) men of colour in film, and the success of franchises such as Twilight and The Hunger Games shows audiences backing white women (women of colour have yet to be given a real chance). As such, we can definitively say that this is especially a problem with Hollywood, and withe the people making these films - a problem which obviously needs to change.
Tl; dr: Representation in Hollywood is really, really shit.
- Straight white men are 31.3% of the population, 83.6% of the leads. Lucky bastards.
- People of colour are 28.6% of the population, 6.4% of the leads (2.8% if you remove Will Smith, thanks Will.)
- Women are 51% of the population, 10.8% of the leads.
- There's no intersection here. If you're a woman of colour, a queer woman and/or queer person of colour, then you're getting fuck all.
Just in case you had any doubt of just how little representation most of the population are getting.
"We teach girls to shrink themselves to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, 'You can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man.' Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they can not be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes."

America's grotesque amusement: the joke is on black women again by Brittney Cooper
This past weekend, Kerry Washington became only the eighth Black woman to host "Saturday Night Live." The paltry representation of black women on "SNL" is obviously shameful: In the 38-year history of the show, there have only been four black women cast members, averaging about one per decade.
The show attempted to poke fun at its own sexualized racism (and racialized sexism) without of course ever calling it that, by putting up a statement apologizing for its lack of black female cast members — after a particularly funny sketch in which Kerry Washington was asked to play Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé in a span of about five minutes.
Unfortunately, the show undercut its own attempt at self-deprecation, by ending its public service announcement by saying: "we agree this is not an ideal situation and look forward to rectifying it in the near future … unless of course we fall in love with another white guy first."
I get the attempt at irony. But who ain't laughing is me. How can I, when the joke seems to be on black women?
Why is it that Americans are infinitely more comfortable with black men playing sassy, matronly black female characters in drag, as Kenan Thompson frequently does on the show, than with black women playing black female roles? Drag can be generative and subversive, but in this case, it just seems oppressive.
When Thompson came under fire a few weeks back for insinuating that "SNL" casting directors struggled to find black women who were "ready" to do comedic roles, he attempted to justify the systematic ignoring and excluding of black women from "SNL" by arguing that they're simply unqualified to do comedy. Racists deploy this kind of argument to justify why they don't have people of color employees and men make these kinds of arguments to justify not hiring women for top leadership positions.
But I'd venture to say that Americans in general are the ones who aren't ready for black women to step outside of the most narrow and stereotypical racial boxes that have been cast for us. Thompson himself failed to recognize the ways in which his success on the show has been predicated on the exclusion of black women, while also being indebted to black women's cultural traditions.
Thompson is not unique in his appropriation of black female labor and culture for his own success. Tyler Perry's most successful character is Madea. Martin Lawrence's most recognizable character is Big Momma. While black women are often told that these characters are an homage to black women, not allowing black women to play themselves is nothing to celebrate.
The ways in which black men collude with white power structures to deny black women access to spaces of cultural production is not a problem unique to hip-hop. In fact, much as Thompson argues, many male rappers would have us believe that the only reason Nicki Minaj is the most recognizable female emcee in the game is because women simply aren't as talented as men. Many of these men fail to use their considerable pull with white corporate record executives to advocate for open doors for women. This is why the Grammys have not had a category for best female rapper since 2005. In the world of "SNL" Kenan Thompson plays a similar role: He seems to relate far more to the executives at "SNL" who couldn't resist reminding us of their perennial love of white guys than to the black women who provide the comedic fodder for his sketches.
Lucky for black women, the tide does seem to be turning. Shonda Rhimes, creator of "Grey's Anatomy," has achieved mega success with her casting of Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope in "Scandal." It is the best performing prime-time drama on network television. Unfortunately, however, it is also the only drama on network television with a black female lead.
Cable and Web-based shows have stepped in to do some of the cultural heavy lifting, offering amazing acting from black women in shows like "Orange Is the New Black," "Awkward Black Girl" and "American Horror Story." I also eagerly await BET's new scripted drama "Being Mary Jane."
But these shows only mildly offset the cultural train wrecks of reality television that continue to perpetuate the worst stereotypes of black female anger, back-biting, hypersexualization and more. I'm not saying that I don't like reality television. I do, and I usually choose one show per season to follow.
But there is a reason that black women have gained such heightened visibility as the denizens of ratchet ghettoized glamour on shows like "Real Housewives of Atlanta," "Love & Hip Hop" New York and Atlanta, "Basketball Wives" and more. Structurally, these shows require the most intrusion on people's personal lives while also providing little job security or stability.
And by perpetuating the lie of the real, or the idea that these shows offer us a window into "reality," it becomes all the more difficult to get an accurate picture of black women's humanity.
Not that fans of these shows are especially interested in that in the first place.
Black women watch because in a desert of black female representation, even the most poisonous well of water can look like an oasis. Others watch for pure "entertainment." But popular entertainment in the U.S. has never been a pure category. Peering and jeering at black women who tell fantastical tales, sing songs and recount bawdy stories has been an American cultural fascination since the 1830s when P.T. Barnum employed a black woman named Joyce Heth as a cultural performer. Joyce Heth claimed to have been George Washington's 160-year-old former nursemaid.
She sat in a cage for hours each day while circus goers came by and peered at her body, listened to her unbelievable tales and tried to examine her physical body. Joyce Heth, according to Benjamin Reiss, was one of the earliest images – if not the earliest—of a black woman to appear in newsprint.
Black women's long historical status as a kind of grotesque amusement for the American public informs the way we understand and interact with black women performers today.
The successful and complicated portraits of black women that emerge from the work of women like Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington, Issa Rae, Oprah Winfrey and some of the shows at OWN, and Sundance Award-winning filmmaker Ava Duvernay suggest that the tide may ever so slowly be turning.
But this cultural turn will not be complete until America falls out of love with white men.
excellent commentary
"Well, when I was nine years old, Star Trek came on, I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, 'Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there's a black lady on television and she ain't no maid!' I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be."
— Whoopi Goldberg

Hadoop and Analytic Data Platforms Play Nice
Recently, Mark Madsen posted an article titled What Hadoop Is. What Hadoop Isn't. This is a well thought out discussion of the place of Hadoop vis-à-vis other data technologies. He describes the challenges that analytic database/platform vendors are feeling in the market – the misperception that Hadoop can deliver it all. The reality is that it can't do it all, efficiently or optimally. From Calpont's perspective, Hadoop is complementary to InfiniDB (and other data technologies, such as NoSQL), as Hadoop doesn't offer both the scalability and fast processing times now required for massive structured analytics, but is great for general storage, processing, ETL, and custom unstructured and structured analytic needs.
To Mark's point, database vendors need to figure out how to work with emerging technologies like Hadoop vs. fighting against them. We saw this need in 2011 based on customer and prospect feedback, and created a data connector between InfiniDB and the Hadoop cluster. Unlike Sqoop, the connector is bi-directional, enabling organizations to determine where they want to do the analysis. We see the primary need for bringing data into InfiniDB and processing the analytics within it, but every organization has their own requirements so we provide the flexibility.
While more organizations are using Hadoop for large-scale structured and unstructured data, the sheer volume of data collected often results in a Hadoop implementation that no longer performs at the desired speed for analysis. This can mean redesign or much manual tuning, which yields both a sub-optimal maintenance experience and data environment for analysis.
High-performance analytics requires a high-performance analytic data platform. The Hadoop framework is great for custom development, but it doesn't inherently have the "out-of-the-box" ability of doing analytics extremely quickly, as Mr. Madsen points out. We enabled InfiniDB to connect to the Hadoop environment to pull data into InfiniDB to execute large scale analytics rapidly. And since InfiniDB converts SQL queries into small "map and reduce" jobs, it is also provides the scale necessary to accommodate Hadoop Big Data deployments, whether for ad-hoc analytics, data warehousing or predictive analytics. InfiniDB requires no special database tuning, indexing or materialized views, making it an ideal element for a hybrid data architecture.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reached the decision today, that 149 federal contract towers will close beginning April 7th, as part of the agency's sequestration implementation plan.
The air traffic control towers for the Naples Municipal, Page Field and Punta Gorda airports made the list of those closing.
According to the FAA, an additional 16 federal contract towers under the "cost share" program will remain open because Congressional statute sets aside funds every fiscal year for these towers. These cost-share program funds are subject to sequestration, but the required 5 percent cut will not result in tower closures.
The Lee County Port Authority issued the following statement in response to the decision:
"The Lee County Port Authority is extremely disappointed that Page Field remained on the FAA list for closures in April, as it is an essential part of the air transportation system in Southwest Florida. Page Field's Air Traffic Control Tower enhances the safe and orderly flow of general and commercial aviation into and out of our region. We anticipate working with FAA for a smooth transition for continued safe operations at Page Field."

United Technologies (UTX) Reiterates Full-Year Guidance
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- United Technologies (UTX) has reiterated its guidance for full-year 2014 earnings between $6.65 and $6.85 a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters forecast earnings of $6.85 a share.
Shares are little changed over Thursday's session, gaining 0.24% to $117.51.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.-------------------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORP (UTX) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, UTX's share price has jumped by 26.07%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Turning to the future, naturally, any stock can fall in a major bear market. However, in almost any other environment, the stock should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed nice gains in the past year.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 3.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 92.36% to $1,335.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 44.08%.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.62, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Despite the fact that UTX's debt-to-equity ratio is low, the quick ratio, which is currently 0.70, displays a potential problem in covering short-term cash needs.
- UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORP's earnings per share declined by 5.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORP increased its bottom line by earning $6.22 versus $5.35 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($6.85 versus $6.22).

I often read about bloggers writing their daily blog posts from the local PaneraĀor Starbucks.ĀThe only problem with that is, I am not a huge fan of Panera Bread. I'm also not a fan of paying moreĀfor a cup of coffee than I do for a gallon of gas. To be honest,ĀI don't evenĀdrink coffee, soĀpaying evenĀone dollarĀfor a 560 calorie grande mocha latte laced with vanilla caramel is out of the question.
But that's beside the point.
As IĀsit here with an ear and two eyes on
Shemar MooreĀCriminal Minds (at midnight, mind you!)Āas I peck out this post, I could see where a quiet littleĀbloggyĀspotĀin the middle of the afternoon might be a good idea. Not that I everĀhave the time to leisurely sit in a Panera Bread in the early afternoon and blog, but the idea sure is appealing.
And to make matters worse, I discovered that Criminal MindsĀplays 24-hours a day -Āor pretty close to itĀ- on Ion Network, so my DVR has Criminal Minds episodes for days. And if you know me, you know I can't pass up a good crime show, especially one starring Shemar Moore, because it reminds me of my days in jail.
Not the Shemar Moore part. Just the crime part.
It's been a drama-filled few weeks on Facebook, and I couldn't be happier that the Presidential Election of 2012 is over and done.
Can I get an A. to the Men?
In between reading political Facebook rants the last few weeks, and walking a tight line between offering up myĀopinion and offending, I've been trying to think about the best way to helpĀStevie build a ChickasawĀnative American Indian habitat that is due in two weeks.
Y'all fourth grade is no joke.
He has no less thanĀfour tests each week, alongĀwith some sort of big project every month that requires me or his dad to crack a whip every eleven minutesĀtoĀkeep his little wandering mind on task. I love that child, but my lands he gets off task so easily.
Not sure where he gets that from.
In September he had a book report / place mat thingĀcomplete with an oral report. In October, he had to write a two-page Halloween story about a ghost coming in his window and asking to go to school with him. For the past month he's been learning all the counties in the state of West Virginia (which I'm not sure I ever learned), and this month, we have to build an Indian habitat using items found in nature.
Lord, help me.
As of right now, my plan is toĀbust out the hot-glue gun and the grass, and hope forĀthe best.
Several of my Facebook friends have already started putting their Christmas decorations out / up, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it because HELLO, we had a snow storm here last week that causedĀme to pack up the kids, the hamsters and half the house to spend two nights with the in-laws because McDaddyĀwas out-of-town.
So yes, if there is snow on the ground, you better believe I'm already thinking about decorating for Christmas. The only problem is that McDaddyĀhas a personal rule that all manner of Christmas paraphernalia must stay in the loft, in storage, until after Thanksgiving.
Party pooper.
In the meantime, I have pumpkins rotting on my front porch that need tended to.
And a hamster running 412 miles an hour in a wheel making me
crazier crazy.
Which is making it hard to stay on task.
And if that's not a great place toĀwrap things up, I don't know what would be.
Night y'all!

According to an article by MSNBC, "Construction crews are set to begin demolition on Friday of the Sandy Hook Elementary School building where 20 students and six educators were killed last December. Newtown residents earlier this month voted in favor of accepting a $50 million grant from the state of Connecticut to construct a new building at the site of the shooting."
The above photo was taken by Reportage photographer Benjamin Lowy who visited Newtown after the shooting last year.

So I recently came across this character profile for Geet and they really seem to have it all wrong - - Geet is the sweetheart of the family? Brij adores Geet? Brij's wife is negative?
I guess these were probably early character developments - - though it would have been nice to see the family more close-knit and Brij as a protective older brother rather than an idiot.
Beizaad Khan as Brij, Geet's elder cousin brother
A spoilt-brat. He knows nothing more than throwing his weight around at the behest of his family. He is a favourite of the grandfather, and is a striking image of him. Honour and power hold utmost importance for him, and can go to any length to maintain or achieve the same. He completely adores Geet. He believes in gun culture and has a coterie of followers.
Joy Chug as Jeet, Geet's younger brother
Geet is the sweetheart of the family but her 9 year old younger brother Jeet is whom she loves the most. Though youngest in the family, he is the only one who has the knack of calling a spade a spade and getting away with it. Due to the age difference, Geet doubles up as his mother and completely adores him.
Shalini Kapoor as Ranu, Geet's mother
A soft spoken, uneducated woman. She was married off at an early age. Her world begins and ends with her family and her duties. She is happy with the way her life is, and expects her daughter to adjust to a similar lifestyle as well.
Talat Reiki as Daarji, Geet's grandfather
Traditionalist to the core, he believes in commanding respect and authority. He had single headedly raised the fortunes of the family from scratch, and had never shied away from arm-twisting or illicit tactics to achieve his goals. Bauji considers it his personal agenda to uphold age old values and beliefs, and believes in exercising severe retribution if anyone goes against them. In the family, the final say is his.
Vicky Ahuja as Geet's father
A rich landlord, he has a clout of men following his every move and command. Rich as per the standards of the small town they belong to, he exercises power and influence to have his way. An agrarian landlord, not cash rich, but owns the largest area of cultivable agricultural land around town. He has a soft spot for his daughter Geet, and even thought cannot openly express it in the family.
Vinku Vohra as Ranu, Brij's wife
A negative character� She does not approve of all the love and affection meted out to Geet and in her own space, plays a pivotal role in making things rough for Geet.

Earlier this month, Dr. H. Dorota Halicka and colleagues from New York Medical College reported on a series of experiments showing activated vitamin D is both a natural antioxidant and helps repair damaged DNA. Humans live by burning (oxidizing) food and the byproducts of that oxidation damage your DNA. That's why so many people take antioxidants like vitamins C and E.
Vitamin D: an antioxidant?

A pair of studies examines how hospitals can manage O.R. emergencies and nurse patient loads.
Reuters: Checklists May Help Avoid Surgery Oversights: Study
Having step-by-step checklists on hand may help doctors and nurses manage emergencies in the operating room, a new study suggests. In situations when a person's heart stops beating on the operating table or a patient begins bleeding uncontrollably, those lists can save time and brainpower, researchers said. "The standard practice across the country has just been, you work from memory and reason your way through a crisis," said Dr. Atul Gawande, from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who worked on the study (Pittman, 1/16).
Medscape: Nurses' Work Environment May Influence Readmission Risk
Better hospital work environments and staffing levels for nurses may lower the risk for Medicare readmissions, according to the results of a new survey. For patients with 3 common conditions, 30-day readmission rates were significantly lower in hospitals with a good work environment compared with those with poor work environments, Matthew D. McHugh, PhD, JD, MPH, RN, and Chenjuan Ma, PhD, RN, from the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, report in an article published in the January issue of Medical Care. Readmission risk went up with each additional patient per nurse in the average nurse's workload (MacReady, 1/16).

Representation of Finite Action Large Games
AbstractA large game can be formalized as a probability distribution on the set of players' characteristics or as a function from a measure space of players to the set of players' characteristics. Given a game as a probability distribution on the set of players' characteristics, a representation of that game is a function from a set of players to the set of players' characteristics which induces the same distribution. It is shown that if the playoffs are continuous and there are only finite number of actions, then the set of Nash equilibria of any representation of a game induces essentially all the Cournot-Nash equilibrium distributions of the given game.
