This large, prime quality graphite black-ware olla by Esperanza Tina features a traditional black on black design with intricate geometric motifs and cuadritos (small squares) of Paquime/Mimbres inspiration. Her line-work is highly precise with all angles terminating at precise points. The olla's highly desirable thin walls were built by delicately hand coiling the clay. The high gloss is a result of painstaking hand polishing. The artist's signature is incised on the bottom of the pot. Yarn wrapped pottery ring included. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
Dimensions: Height 8 inches , Width 12 inches, Opening 4 1/2 inches
The history of Mata Ortiz, both the village and the pottery, can be traced through the archaeological remains of nearby Casas Grandes (Spanish for Great Houses; also known as Paquimé). This is the contemporary name given to a Pre-Columbian city-state located in northwestern Mexico in the modern-day Mexican state of Chihuahua.
This is where Juan Quezada, guided only by his intuition recreated an ancient ceramic technology as he studied the ancient pots and shards he found as he roamed the desert in his youth. His painstaking efforts with rough, primitive techniques produced astonishingly perfect, incredibly beautiful and sophisticated works of art. His commercial success inspired relatives and neighbours to produce the now famous Mata Ortiz pottery that allowed them to sustain themselves and improve the whole region's economy.
Mata Ortiz pots are hand built starting with large coils of clay without the use of a potter's wheel. Shaping, polishing and painting the clay is entirely done by hand, often with brushes made from children's hair. The clay and natural pigments used to paint the pots are readily available locally and cow dung or split cottonwood is used as fuel for the firing pits.
Each potter or pottery family produces distinctive individualized ware and over the last thirty or so years, the complex design concepts have evolved to include not only traditional Pre-Columbian Paquime and Mimbres designs but also vibrant, contemporary ones with incredible geometric patte

I use air alot but have started to play around with the others. Discovered water is perfect in Fire Islands and the desert... anything fire related. Did fire until just after I ascended and got into gvg... meteor showers are great in pve but when targets move alot not so good, I even have learned how to dodge out of those and I know how much it costs so can shock them before it recharges or they can get something else of fire off. Discovered Fire does cost the most but can be fun in the Shiverpeaks. Ice vs Fire pul-lease.
Okay so I have done three... can someone tell me about earth? May try this out in gvg also.
22-03-2006, 13:52 #3
Water, Air, Earth, Fire, in that order, but they are very very close. Kinda like 30-25-23-22 ratio. I like the battle control aspect that Air and Water offer in slow spells, blinds and knockdowns.
22-03-2006, 14:05 #4
I primarily use fire, it depends on the area i'm in and the enemies i'm facing.
22-03-2006, 16:32 #5
Water OR fire OR both depending on where I am and my mood for that day.
22-03-2006, 17:26 #6
Depends on what I'm doing really. Since most of my time is pve I usually bring around fire. When I gvg I go with water. I go with air for randoms cause I can get faction quicker with it. Earth I use for HA cause all everyone wants out of an ele is a warder
22-03-2006, 17:35 #7
I still use Fire as my primary element, but have one or two Water/Earth spells with me, if I do not use a Mesmer secondary for Interrupts, Energy management or "echoing" a spell.

PHARR — Standing in the loading area of the historic Valley Fruit Company facility on Cage Boulevard, Teri Drefke said she's sometimes still in awe of the building's construction.
"They don't build anything like this anymore," she said.
Drefke, the executive director of the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley said when searching for a new site to house the organization's growing demands the vacant building was the perfect fit.
"It fit all our needs," she explained.
On Wednesday, after nearly seven years of planning and renovating, the food bank introduced the public and its volunteers to its new home, complete with twice the size of their McAllen space and classrooms to serve the community.
"We are able to serve the community in a much better way," she said.
The facility, with over 100,000 square feet also gives the food bank seven loading docks, meaning the ability to store more food easily. The RGV Food Bank serves residents in Hidalgo, Cameron and Willacy counties. In 2010, officials said they distributed 31 million pounds of food.
For the community they serve, Drefke predicted they would be excited to see the facility expand and offer a variety of new programs.
As community members and local and state officials toured the facility at a grand opening this week, Drefke said the building was a vision come true.
At their grand opening, the food bank thanked its supporters and volunteers for their work and assistance in moving into their new home.
"It's a historic day," said Hidalgo County Judge Ramon Garcia.
As the Rio Grande Valley is home to one of the largest indigent population, the local food bank is key to feeding people.
"Facilities like this are very badly needed," he said.
Pharr Mayor Leopoldo Palacios asked local businesses and supporters to donate to the food bank to fill the many shelves they've just acquired.
"This is about the people of the Rio Grande Valley," he said.
State Rep. Sergio Muñoz Jr., who worked with the organization on earning a national historic designation, presented the group with a Texas flag.
The community's dedication and ability to move into a bigger facility to accommodate to the area's growing needs shows the Valley is devoted to its needy residents, said Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples.
"The dedication of the RGV Food Bank says you care about the future of this great state and you want all residents to have part in the brightest future," Staples said.
To support the future, the renovated building includes six interconnected buildings on 14 acres. The building has a German design that includes a lamella roof structure used in wide-spanned buildings like airplane hangars, which Drefke said was her favorite feature of the building. As a nationally recognized historic building, the facility features restored art deco signage from the Valley Fruit Company.
"It was a dream to begin with," Drefke said of purchasing the building. "The journey to the dream was long and arduous, but it has more than met our expectations."blog comments powered by Disqus

Relish chef Steve Petusevsky earns his keep by cooking farmstead meals for new friends.
For the past year, I've been working in Boulder, Colo., and staying on a farm, called Buddy's Ranch, in the tiny town of Hygiene. (No kidding—it was the home of a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients in the 1800s.) I live in a quaint cottage tucked away on the property. In return for my board, I cook dinners from the garden and local farmers' market for the farm owners, Bob and Rachel Macintosh, and their friends. As word has spread, the dinners have turned into a local underground sensation of sorts. Menus are totally inspired by the daily harvest. There's no charge for these dinners; they are a labor of love and a chance for me to connect with the community. At the same time, the guests connect with the land.

Update: Bill Attacking Birthright Citizenship Adds Co-SponsorsDevin Burghart 01.28.2013
Just as it appears momentum towards comprehensive immigration reform is building in the Senate, efforts to eviscerate the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship are also picking up steam.

Alan Nunnelee (MS-1), and David Schweikert (AZ-6) signed on to the bill on January 15, and Kerry Bentivolio (MI-11), Trent Franks (AZ-8), Kenny Marchant (TX-24), and David Roe (TN-1) signed on January 23.

|Analysts see the good in Amazon's poor results
(From The New York Times) A glorious future beats a glorious past. Investors decimated Apple last week when it appeared that the world's mightiest profit machine might be slowing down just a tad. But they cheered on Tuesday when Amazon said its fourth-quarter sales and earnings fell short of expectations. Oh, and expect a miserable first quarter, too.

If someone were to compose an ice ballet comprised primarily of Casio keyboard tones, and involving a princess, a bloodthirsty wolf and a water wheel powered by dwarves, it might sound something like Spokes (Okay, now you're really reaching. -- Ed). "Even Spring" utilizes an impassioned disembodied voice to vaguely unnerving effect. "Crumax Rins" ebbs and flows with the seedy plans of the underworld, while "B Born Droid" sounds like it could accompany a softly-lit scene between postcoital robots. Every track seems packed to the gills with its own story to tell, though the seeds of each story seem rooted in the days of fat synthesizers and big hair. This is a disc that springs to life under closer inspection but also serves quite capably as background music -- the kind that draws in casual listeners and gets them asking questions. Plaid have done double duty this time around, and Spokes should easily satisfy both their rabid fans and the merely curious.

The varied experience of the African American residents of Montgomery County, Virginia, reveals itself in many documentary sources, but perhaps none as unexpected to some researchers as in the chancery causes. As a preview of the upcoming workshop "Researching Your African American Ancestors: Genealogy to 1870" scheduled to be held at the Christiansburg Public Library on 19 July 2014, here follow five examples from the Montgomery County chancery causes highlighting different facets of African American life over the span of 100 years.
Whether as slaves or free persons of color, African Americans arrived in the western parts of Virginia as soon as the area began to be settled by easterners. The earliest chancery suit with an identified free person is suit 1819-016, Lewis Garner vs. Peter Hance. Peter Hance executed a bond to Garner, "a man of color" for $49.75 in 1813. Garner then lost the note and Hance refused to honor the debt. Garner filed suit against Hance to clarify the circumstances of the debt, the loss of the note, and to collect what he was owed. The suit was dismissed at the request of the plaintiff in 1819.
Slaves appear throughout the chancery suits in many different situations, most commonly in an estate settlement suit when the slaves are divided among heirs or sold to pay debts. Chancery cause 1847-015, Ann Trigg, … read more »
In the late 1880s and early 1890s, Southwest Virginia was gripped with "boom" times as the Norfolk & Western Railroad opened up the region for development. Small towns and even previously non-existent ones exploded with growth seemingly overnight. Land development companies swooped in, mainly with northern capital, to carve up farmland into future cities. Montgomery County was no stranger to this concept as the "boom" swept through its borders. Central Depot at the far western edge of the county had been a small railroad community, but by the 1870s and 1880s, developers started devising ways to make it grow. The community would go on to become Central City as a fully incorporated town, then Radford, and then the independent City of Radford. A group of chancery records from Montgomery County bear witness to the "boom," or more accurately to its aftermath, as the bubble burst on dreams for development. These cases, W.R. Liggon vs. George W. Tyler etc., T.E. Buck vs. George W. Tyler etc., and Nancy M. Liggon etc. vs. George W. Tyler etc. (1897-056) and R.B. Horne etc. vs. George W. Tyler etc. (1897-057) give fascinating insight on the inner workings of "boom" times.
In this period of extraordinary growth for many towns, real estate speculation was the name of the game. Huge profits could be made by buying land, dividing it into … read more »
The Library of Virginia's Local Records Services branch, in partnership with the Montgomery County Circuit Court Clerk, was recently awarded a 2-year grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) to support the processing of the Montgomery County Circuit Court Records Collection, 1777-1912. The grant provides for the processing and indexing of the Montgomery County Chancery Causes with an eye toward future digitization as well as the creation of electronic finding aids for the remaining loose historical court records found in the clerk's office in Christiansburg. The project will utilize a new strategy for the LVA in that all work will be completed by professional archivists in the clerk's office rather than at the Archives in Richmond.
The NHPRC recognized the national significance of the Montgomery County court records as the county was ideally situated on routes west to experience the travel and migration of people seeking opportunity, land, and adventure in the West. These court records also illuminate the lives of numerous under-documented populations and have national significance for researchers interested in the African American experience, women's history, westward migration, and southern labor and business history in the antebellum and post-Civil War periods.
In their current state, the Montgomery County chancery records are only known and utilized by a select few historians and humanities researchers. When completed the Montgomery County Chancery Causes … read more »
The staff at Montgomery County's Circuit Court Clerk's Office recently rediscovered the county's cohabitation register, one of the most valuable records used for African American genealogical research. Its official title is The Register of Colored Persons of Montgomery County, Virginia, Cohabiting Together as Husband and Wife on February 27, 1866. Watch as this video tells the story of this register and its preservation at The Library of Virginia. Montgomery County is one of only 19 Virginia localities known to have a surviving cohabitation register. The video script was co-written and narrated by our own Sarah Nerney, Local Records Senior Archivist. Thanks also to Audrey Johnson of Special Collections, Leslie Courtois of Etherington Conservation, and videographer Pierre Courtois for their invaluable contributions to this video production. See a previous blog post about the Smyth County cohabitation register.

The editors of Out of the Box would like to give a belated good-bye to Carl Childs, the Library of Virginia's former Local Records Services director. Last month, Carl started his new job as Director of Archives and Records for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. When former local records archivist Dale Dulaney first proposed our little blog five years ago, Carl's support, encouragement, and leadership helped Dale's idea become a reality. The result: the Out of the Box blog may be the most successful outreach tool used by the Library of Virginia. For the fiscal year ending 30 June 2013, Out of the Box had 435,859 page views, 221,667 visitors, and 369,123 visits.
Out of the Box is one of many innovative projects that Carl has been a part of at the Library. In a 20-year career at the agency, Carl moved into increasingly responsible positions, from his first job as a front desk attendant, to state records archivist and then local records archivist and, beginning in 2005, Local Records Services director. Carl brought enthusiasm and a willingness to try new things to every position. Accordingly, in his tenure overseeing the Circuit Court Records Preservation (CCRP) grants program, Carl helped strengthen the application and oversight process, resulting in a more efficient and beneficial program to care for historic records in Virginia's circuit courts. Similarly, … read more »
Processing of the Montgomery County chancery began in August 2013, and one of the early finds was Chancery Cause 1848-016, Letitia Floyd vs. Executors of Elizabeth Madison, which involved two locally well-known Virginia families, the Prestons and Floyds. While much of the history of these families revolves around the military, economic, and political exploits of the men, this particular suit reveals great politicking among the females as well. Additionally, this case permits researchers to evaluate changes in women's economic and social status over several generations.
William Preston, an Irish immigrant who arrived in Virginia in 1737, moved to western Virginia and became a surveyor in Augusta and Botetourt Counties. He fought in the French and Indian War, became an officer in the colonial militia, and eventually served in the House of Burgesses and as a sheriff and surveyor in Fincastle County. In 1775, he signed the Fincastle Resolutions and helped to recruit soldiers for the militia, ultimately serving as a colonel in the newly-created regiment mustered from Montgomery County. Preston and his friend and fellow surveyor, John Floyd, (among others) advanced land claims for prominent Virginians by surveying tracts (legally and illegally) in Kentucky.
Numerous local and area histories celebrate adventurers and pioneers but few of these accounts consider the experiences of the women who carved out a home for their families in the … read more »
"In the time worn and musty old folios long since filed away in our public offices, there is many a fact recorded that has occured [sic] under the personal observation of no one now living; and which if placed within the reach of the public, would go farther to give us a knowledge of the manners, customs, and character of the pioneers of Augusta County than all the histories that have been written on our native state."
These words were written by a young lawyer who was researching court records filed in the Augusta County courthouse in the early 1830's. He was amazed by the amount of history found in the old court papers. He discovered stories about the first settlers of western Virginia and the many obstacles they encountered in their efforts to start a new life in an untamed wilderness. He read about events that happened during the French and Indian War and Revolutionary War. The young lawyer came across suits in which the litigants talked about their migration down the Shenandoah Valley from western Pennsylvania to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. Mesmerized by what he was reading, the young lawyer wanted to make his discoveries in the court records available to the public, and so, he wrote a letter to the editor of an unidentified newspaper requesting a weekly column in which he … read more »
The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce the addition of records from Fluvanna, Goochland, and Montgomery Counties to the cohabitation register digitization project. This project, via the Virginia Memory website, aims to index, digitize, transcribe, and provide access to all known Virginia cohabitation registers and the related registers of children whose parents had ceased to cohabit.
The cohabitation registers were the legal vehicles by which formerly enslaved couples legitimized their pre-slavery marriages and the children of unions that no longer existed in 1866 due to death or other circumstances such as the wife being sold away. These records are invaluable resources for genealogists and historians alike.
Goochland and Montgomery have to date only uncovered their cohabitation registers. Fluvanna, however, includes both the cohabitation register and the register of children whose parents had ceased to cohabit by 1866. The registers, transcriptions, and searchable indexes are available online along with the other registers from Virginia localities in the Cohabitation Register Digital Collection in Virginia Memory. To find it use either the link provided or go to Virginia Memory, choose Digital Collections, then Collections A to Z, and finally Cohabitation Registers.

Tucked away in the Business Records Collections at the Library of Virginia are five 2.5 x 1.5 inch baseball cards issued by the American Tobacco Company. Long before baseball cards were sold with bubble gum, they were sold with tobacco products. Not only did the cards depict the major league stars of the day, but also minor leaguers throughout the country. The five cards which make up the American Tobacco Company Baseball Cards collection (LVA Acc. 29187) feature Virginia League players.
Two of the cards in the collection, the color portraits of Perry Lipe and Ray Ryan, are part of what is known as the T206 series. This series of cards, issued from 1909 to 1911, was sold with a wide range of tobacco products such as Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, and in the case of the Lipe and Ryan cards, Old Mill. The minor leaguers in the series were from a variety of leagues across the country, including players from the Virginia, Texas, South Atlantic (Sally), and Southern Leagues. The T206 series is known as the series containing the most valuable baseball card–the Honus Wagner card, which has been valued in some instances at over $2 million (based on condition).
The other three cards in LVA's collection–of Martin (Marty) Walsh, George Cowan, and W. G. Smith–are part of the T209 photo series, printed in 1910. … read more »
(The following editorial is reprinted here courtesy of the Smyth County News & Messenger. It originally ran 28 July 2010.)
In some ways it is difficult to read. Just the title "Register of Colored Persons of Smyth County, State of Virginia, Cohabitating Together as Husband and Wife on 27 February, 1866″ speaks of discrimination so powerful that the institution of marriage between a man and woman was not recognized. As you read across the columns and come to "Last Owner," the reality of slavery existing in Seven Mile Ford, Rich Valley, Marion and Rye Valley takes hold.
The names of those registered and their last owners resonate as familiar: Campbell, Carter, Fowler, Heath, James and Tate among many others.
As news of this register's existence was announced this week, Circuit Court Clerk John Graham reflected, "When you see this document, you're reminded that slavery was not just an institution somewhere in the South. It was a way of life right here in Smyth County. This remarkable document brings history home."
Despite the challenges it presents us, this register is a national treasure of incalculable value.
Prior to this document recording and formalizing their marriages, which Virginia law didn't recognize before the Civil War ended in 1865, the existence of many of these individuals had never been listed in a public … read more »

HBO: Game of Thrones: Homepage
I am gonna try it. I saw like 15 minutes of it on the HBO website and it looks interesting. The scenes are physically beautiful.
i am gonna catch it....i think its time for a new hbo series that is over the top
Yeah, it looks like great fun.
I particularly like serialized programs like these because they give the authors enough time to craft very complex plotlines, and they also give the authors enough literary story-space to really work on highly complex characters, too.
Not that those elements cannot be done in 90 minutes but given 900 minutes a whole lot more of that kind of complexity, both in plot and character, is possible.
I am a fan of the books, so I'm concerned about this not living up to my expectations.
On the other hand, Martin is involved in the series, so hopefully that will help.
I'm certainly going to watch and hope it's good (being dvr'd right now).
Watching it now. Ive never read the books but so far so good.
I am so looking forward to this tonight!!!!!
It's the antidote to the truly vile and noxious Camelot.
Well, my first impression is that there's a lot of missing story in the first episode.
It's hard to say how much of that is the show and how much is due to my knowing the books and knowing how much they left out.
Still, it seemed as though there was a good deal of unexplained actions in the first episode.
Hopefully it's more me than any lack in the show and I can get over it as the season progresses; or perhaps the way they are going to write the show won't require many of the more detailed explanations and subtexts of the books.
I'll have to get some opinions from people who haven't read the books
i watched it....great confusion....will have to watch it again....
I noticed the same thing. On the other hand, this show is aimed more at people who have not read the books than fans of them, so the first episodes have to be designed to bring people into the story. They may decide to flesh out the subplots later in the series.
One thing I consider a plus is that HBO has already committed to a second season, with production and filming already begun. That will definitely give the show time to build an audience.
My favorite fictional book series, read them in high school.
I thought the first episode was done pretty well (Although I would have preferred to see Jon getting tipsy in the corner at the party like in the book), and look forward to the rest of the series. Good job, HBO and Co.
Did you just get out of HS? The series is still ongoing
Loved the books- love the show. Great casting. Superb sets and production. Want more!!!
well the first 3 books, didnt get around to #4 cuz i didnt remember the story well enough haha.
I wanna see this but netflix does not carry HBO movies. HBO demands netflix charge customers an extra 20 bucks a month on top of their membership fees. That is NOT going to happen, so I guess I will have to wait until it comes out on dvd, if it does.
"if it does" ? I don't think anything short of a planet-wide catastrophe could stop the dvd release of a tv show.
Also, there are tons of ways to watch it online easy.
I have read the books, twice....
Just watched the second part of the series this morning.....
I do wish RR would get off his ass and finish the next book though.....
Couldn't get through the first book, don't remember it much..only that it was like Tolkien without the imagination. Tolkien was a horrible writer..but his story was fantastic..so I suffered through all those books.
I saw the HBO thing. Physically beautifully done. That Stark guy pisses me off alot. Killed a member of the black guard for telling the truth and a dog for protecting his kid. Not sure if I am going to make it through it.
I'm loving the show. It's one of the better TV productions I've seen for quite awhile. Excellent cast and production values...and the set up promises plenty of intrigue and plot twists.
so far....well i am bored with watching the blonde chick get fucked...we get it...okay.....i like the show so far...but i have a real problem telling the stark boys and snow apart....
stark is a hard man molded by the times and enviroment...
winter is coming

Suzuki riders talk Superbike race 1 results Topeka
Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Blake Young celebrated his fourth AMA Superbike podium finish of the season after capturing third place in Saturday afternoon's race at the series' return to Heartland Park Topeka in Topeka, Kansas. This was the series' return to the Kansas track after an almost 20-year absence and Young made the most of the first race of the double-header weekend. The rookie Superbike rider got a good start on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000 and ran in second place for several laps before settling into third.
Another racer withdraws from Topeka AMA
Robertino Pietri has respectfully withdrawn his entry from the AMA Pro Racing Tornado Nationals.
The ESP/ Venemotos Yamaha rider appreciates all the effort that the Heartland Park Topeka facility made to address rider concerns, but was still not comfortable with a few sections of the racetrack.
ESP/ Venemotos Yamaha Supersport rider Josh Day, currently leading the Supersport East championship, will continue riding this weekend.

The veteran racer Pegram put in a fantastic performance in the first day at a new circuit.
Larry Pegram Speaks…
Hacking to sit out AMA Superbike Topeka
Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jamie Hacking has decided not to race the ninth round of the AMA Pro Road Racing Series at Heartland Park Topeka in Topeka, Kansas citing safety issues.
Hacking met with AMA officials to explain his withdraw and then met privately with Heartland Park Track Owner Raymond Irwin to discuss areas of concern around the track.
"I was introduced to Raymond (Irwin) and had the chance to go over a track map with him," said Hacking. "I think that he really respected my concerns and was very receptive to my suggestions."
Eslick swepts Daytona SportBike Mid-Ohio

The injury bug has traveled all around NHL locker rooms. Lets take a look at some of the victims.
Henrik Lundqvist: The New York Rangers goalie has missed three practices in a row, and could miss Thursdays game.
Tim Thomas: the Florida Panthers have not said how badly Thomas is hurt, but it is unlikely he will play Friday.
Darren Helm: The Detroit Red Wings will need to make due with out Helm for at least the weekend. He will undergo more testing to try to figure out the severity of his injury.
David Jones: Is day-to-day for the Calgary Flames. The Same can be said for Matt Stajan. Sorry Flames fans Mark Giordano is also hurt.
Jonathan Ericsson: Has been placed on IR with a shoulder injury. He could be out three weeks.
Brandon Prust: The Montreal Canadiens will need to make do for about a month.
Dan Boyle: The San José Sharks have placed Boyle on IR.
Player will always get hurt. the injury may be short-term or could end a players season. There is nothing worse than fans cheering when a player gets hurt. Lets all try to stay classy. Remember it may be a game to fans, but to the payers this is their way of life.

There are a gadzillion reasons why I'm not a fan of Barbie dolls, and they all apply to the new Lt. Uhura doll, part of Mattel's upcoming Barbie Doll line being released in conjunction with J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek film. But there's also a hilariously awesome reason to love these dolls: fanboys are freaking out that they make Star Trek too girlie.
More after the jump!
I've been avoiding Grey's Anatomy for 5 seasons now, but with critics bemoaning the show's rapid demise (as in sex scenes with a g-g-ghost!) I decided to check it out while I still could. Best case scenario: It's so bad it's good. Worse case scenario: It's offensive enough to warrant a scathing blog post.
But, to my surprise, neither was true...
In the history of family sitcoms, has there ever been a woman so intelligent, so poised, and so willing to deliver impassioned monologues about gender equality as Clair Huxtable?
As a kid watching The Cosby Show -- the only primetime program my parents permitted back in the '80s -- I was completely in awe of her. As an adult who's watched many, many hours of TV since (I do what I want!), I'm more impressed than ever. 20 years after The Cosby Show's peak, Clair is still more progressive than most of the TV moms who've succeeded her.
It's sad to remember how high my hopes were for CW's 90210 last summer. I love Fox's original series, Beverly Hills 90210 (though bad dialogue and one-dimensional characters make for a rocky relationship) and I love Rob Thomas (of Veronica Mars), who was supposed to be writing this thing and making it awesome. But he backed out at the last minute to work on stupid Cupid , leaving us with a badly acted, poorly lit, script-challenged mess.
I thought it'd at least be worthwhile to see Shannen Doherty reprise her role as Brenda Walsh, but not even one of my favorite characters ever could keep me watching for more than 3 episodes. I gave it another shot for the sake of research, and what I found out was…it's still not good. But it had a good moment. You might even call it a feminist moment.
If you love TV but don't have time to watch all of it, then you should at least be watching The Soup. It's the best way to get caught up on all the bizarre moments you missed on soap operas, obscure reality shows, and even regional morning newscasts. A team of writers and interns for the show actually devotes their day to watching TV and then goofing on it for our entertainment. What better way for feminists to keep tabs on the world of pop culture?
But the best reason to watch is Joel McHale. His criticisms are sharp, his delivery is hilarious, and his suits are mesmerizing. (I totally want to kiss him.)
There's a lot to love about Tina Fey's sexy-geek image. For instance, "Geeks can be sexy!" is an awesome message, as is "Sexy women can be geeks!" (Okay, maybe there are only two things to love.) I think it's safe to say we get it: She's hot. She's smart. She's hot, yet smart. And vice-versa.
But Fey's sex appeal is no accident — it's the price she paid for fame. In January's Vanity Fair feature, Maureen Dowd gushes about "how a tweezer, cream rinse, a diet, and a Teutonic will transformed a mousy brain into a brainy glamour-puss." Dowd thrills at the success of the makeover that made Fey fit for the camera, and her enthusiasm for weight loss and designer clothes is unsettling. No one wants to picture Liz Lemon doing Weight Watchers...
If you have a tendency to get sucked into bad movies starring formerly
famous actresses, you've probably watched some "Fa la la la Lifetime",
a month-long event in which Lifetime Television brings out its
considerable collection of Christmas movies.
Whether they're are about
Christmas dating, Christmas engagements, or Christmas weddings, the
movies usually to have a few things in common: sassy friends with Canadian
accents, insipid male love interests, excessive seasonal decorations,
embarrassing covers of Christmas carols, and unconvincing dye jobs.
I watched enough this year to discover a sub-genre that's even more unsettling than your average
cute-heroine-finds-Christmas-love story. I call it the Second Chance
Of all the lady cops on TV, Debra Morgan from Dexter is my fave. She's a dedicated cop with a very dirty mouth whose aggressive police work often intimidates male co-workers. But Deb (played by Jennifer Carpenter) is more than just another woman acting like one of the guys.
E! wants us to know just how smart the girls of The Girls Next Door are. Their bios at E! Online even include a "Beauty & Brains" section which detail their ambitions and accomplishments (outside of posing nude).
But if we're supposed to give the Girls credit for intelligence, autonomy, or just plain-old professionalism, then what's with the show's producers constantly undermining them? Post-production sound effects and editing portray these women of "beauty and brains" as silly, vapid, and even ridiculous.
