Telephone recorders are available in both analog cassette and digital formats. Our phone recorders are a great way to keep a record of those important conversations. Sales orders, directions, plans, instructions and other important information can now be stored for later use. Recorders offer a wide range of recording options.
When purchasing a telephone recording device a few things should be considered. For instance, how long will the recorder have to run? Do you need Caller ID information? Do you want to use standard cassette tapes or would you prefer digital recordings that can be uploaded to a PC for archiving? Analog cassette type phone recorders are simpler to use then the long recording capacity digital recording counter parts. Usually more complex, the digital recorders offer longer recording times and the ability to store the recordings on a PC for later reference.
Although most telephone recorders can be set to automatically record both sides of a phone conversation, you should consult with an attorney prior to purchasing or using such equipment. Some Local, State, and Federal laws may prohibit such items from being used in a serendipitous manner.

If http://ligapokerqq.com let your emotions control you instead of the other way around, you'll find yourself making bad decisions in your texas holdem sessions. And that leads to one thing and one thing only, going broke. It's tempting, after a number of bad beats, to think you can force a winning hand by raising big with that 2-7 offsuit in your hand. But your anger isn't going to force the cards to flop in your favor.
Always Make Us of Max Coins: An Error many novice players make is to play fewer coins, thinking this can keep them hanging around longer. The trouble with that theory is many machines gives you proportionately a lot more coins for hitting a Royal flush using max coins then they will for hitting with less then the max.

With the progression of technology, there are now many manufacturers of poker chip sets which serve many casinos. The chips also had a standard size and weight, which is 39 millimeters in diameter and 8.5 grams to 20.5 grams. Now the chips also come in various quality materials and beautiful designs. Some even have microchips implanted on them, just to put a stop to forgery. These chips are not only available in casinos, but they have also become available to the public. It was because of the seemingly endless frenzy with poker that poker chip sets can now be seen at dining tables in many homes.
Poker fans everywhere are looking for fun new poker games to try their hand at. One game that is growing more and more common is Omaha poker.

This is more of an attitude than a myth, but it deserves mention, since it can drain your wallet faster than anything except getting mugged in the parking lot. If you're not satisfied with anything less than the jackpot, you're practically assured of going home broke. Yes, someone's going to win. But the odds are so overwhelmingly stacked against you doing it on that particular day, it's senseless to spend all your hard-earned cash trying for it. Smart gamblers are always satisfied with smaller profits, and know when to leave with them. Any time I walk out of a casino with more than I went in with, regardless of the amount, I consider it a successful session. I will never, under any circumstances, continue shooting for that jackpot.

Document management is the process of applying policies and rules to how documents are cre-
ated, persisted, and expired within an organization. Document collaboration is merely the pro-
cess of checking out, checking in, and versioning a document before it is published. Windows
SharePoint Services gives you document collaboration, whereas SharePoint Server 2007 gives
you document management. Records management encompasses all of the functions of docu-
ment management, but applies those functions to a broader set of content elements—not just
documents. Any electronic record, such as a list item or log entry, can be managed as a record
in SharePoint Server 2007 if there is a need to do so.

So the point is that if you only have requirements around control and version control of documents WSS alone with the added CAL costs of MOSS will do it.
The problem is that when you site grows have rules of when things should be deleted become very important. You cost of not doing so will be larger and larger database costs, administration cost, and even potential database lose in failed upgrades.
I have seen IT departs go massively WSS only to find they have a massive monster growing.
But I think for a lot of project WSS alone is fine. I am thinking of the kinds of user stories you can save a lot of money with WSS over MOSS:
1. A set distribution point under strong control but of interest to a lot of people. Policies and procedures, HR, process documents, or other fixed sets of information can be managed in WSS.
2. Fixed term projects with sites simply deleted after a fixed time. This policy of keeping a site alive only as long as the project exists and deleting afterwards keeps the file load down. If a team has produced work it thinks to be very important it can place it in a shared folder in a retained experience site.

ramblings of a stay at home momma who works 2 jobs and loves on 3 kiddos and is married to 1 superman
Sunday, July 30, 2006
No church this morning. I am bummed. Our Sunday School class is having a breakfast social and diaper shower and I really wanted to go. I enjoy visiting, mingling and of course, eating yummy breakfast goodies. However #2 had a fever yesterday, poor guy, and therefor we are keeping him home today. I imagine it was just a 24 hr virus, aka bug in his mouth( so says #1), but I don't want to pas it around or get it again! Last night Mr. Brick kept him home while #1 and I went to a fun pool party and I am sure he would do the same this morning while I went to Sunday School, but that doesn't seem right, somehow.......I should also go to service at 830 and I just didn't get it together in time........Casstaylor, I owe you some diapers! #2 is beginning to catch up with the funny quotes of his big sister! As we were driving home from the other Brickhaus on Friday night it was dark. #2 wanted to see something in the car, started crying and said "Open the light. Open the light!" It was funny to hear his urgency. I wish I could record all of his words, soon his voice will be of a bigger boy and I wil forget his little voice. I am really afraid I won't even notice it is happening until it already has....... I hear the other Bricks reading in the family room. One of my favorite sounds.......Mr. Brick reading stories to the Little Bricks. I have such a wonderful husband. A true partner in this whole parenting thing. He participates in all arenas, changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, and bath time is HIS job. I know I expect so much from him, yet he gives and gives and gives.....a blessing to me and our family. I love you Mr. Brick!

Diane Keaton suffered a dizzying bout of vertigo last year, before she was injured in a wrestling accident on the set of new movie Morning Glory.
The 64 year old suffered a bang to her head while shooting scenes dressed as a sumo wrestler over the summer.
The actress' representative revealed at the time she was taken to hospital in New York for "precautionary tests" and was cleared by doctors to return to work the next day.
But Keaton elaborated on her condition during Jay Leno's late night chat show on Friday, revealing she was struck with vertigo – a condition which makes the sufferer feel unbalanced and dizzy.
Laughing off the incident, she revealed: "I did get hurt. I fell on my head like humpty dumpty and I cracked it…
"I got vertigo. They sent me to the hospital but I'm okay now. I can still talk."

The answer was an absolutely blistering set full of Miami Steve classics and a concert which made you listen to the Soulfire lp in a whole new light.
From the opening Tom Petty tribute to the closer of one of my favourite tracks of all time this was Little Steven at his best.
Set list:
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers cover)
(The Breakers cover)
(Etta James cover)
(Cocktail Slippers cover)
(James Brown cover)
(The Electric Flag cover)
(Jimmy Barnes cover)
Encore:Little Steven cover)
As a total aside I have listened to Soulfire again since this concert and it has really grown on me. I think his own version of St Valentines Day is exceptional and would sit alongside anything on The Promise.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)"Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited."
ContentsI. Biography
II. Ideas and Philosophies
III. Writings
a. Discourse on the Arts and Sciences
b. Discourse on Inequality
IV. Sources
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher of the Enlightenment. He was born on June 28th 1712. His mother died a few days after his birth so he was mainly brought up by his father, with whom he read ancient Greek and Roman literature. His father, an eccentric but failed watchmaker, fled Geneva when Rousseau was ten to escape imprisonment for a minor charge; the boy then went to Bossey for school. Rousseau left Geneva in 1728 for Annecy, France. There he met Louise de Warens, one of the most influential people in his conversion to Catholicism. In 1747 Rousseau settled down in Paris. By the time the late 1740's rolled around, he had met the philosophers Condillac and Diderot and also worked on articles for Diderot and d' Alembert's Encyclopedia. In 1750 he published the Discourse on the Arts and Sciences in response to the Academy of Dijon's question "Has the restoration of the sciences and arts tended to purify morals?" This discourse is originally what made Rousseau famous by winning the Academy's prize. His views that condemned the arts and sciences contradicted those of the Enlightenment project; he wrote that in all ages the arts and sciences had caused the downfall of morals. "Why should we build our own happiness on the opinions of others when we can find it in our own hearts?" Rousseau was greatly interested in music but after his opera Le Devin du Village, which was a great success and earned him even more recognition, he gave up composing music. In 1753 Rousseau answered another of the Academy's questions: "What is the origin of inequality among men, and is it authorized by the natural law?" in his Discourse on the Origin of Inequality Among Men which was later published in 1755 and widely read. In 1761 he published a novel, Julie or the New Heloise and a year later published The Social Contract, his work on political philosophy, and Emile, a book about his views on education. His two later books were condemned primarily because of claims he made about religion. In 1764 he began writing his autobiography, Confessions, and in the early 1770's, Rousseau: Judge of Jean-Jacques and the Reveries of the Solitary Walker, his last book before his death in 1778. His death was caused by a hemorrhage during one of his frequent morning walks, however many of his friends claim that he committed suicide, for reasons unkown. He was buried on his estate but in 1794 his remains were moved to the Pantheon in Paris where all of the catalysts of the French Revolution were buried. His remains were close to those of Voltaire who died the same year.
Ideas and Philosophies
One of Rousseau's most famous philosophies is his Social Contract, which is essentially a basis for a legitimate, working political order. The basis of this is simply that men are "born free, and everywhere he is in chains." this is why he is considered a forebear of Modern Socialism and Communism. He is vehemently opposed to governing by general assembly, but instead that the people themselves should be directly involved in making the laws. He also states that "no man has a natural authority over his fellow", and is staunchly opposed to slavery. "They (children) are born men and free; their liberty belongs to them, and no one but they has the right to dispose of it." He advocates that nobody should be controlled by others, in any way shape or form. Most of his writings deal with the freedom of man, and how it should not be taken away for any reason whatsoever.
Rousseau also had many influential political and social theories. His theory of social development has four main points: Natural Man, Savage Man, Civilized Man, and the Way to Happiness. In Natural Man, Rousseau gives his impression of man's society at the beginning of its development; man is simply an animal. Man is driven by his basic needs, Rousseau writes, and self-preservation is the most important goal; the only goods he recognizes in the universe are food, a female, and sleep. Also, Rousseau's natural man is not in a constant state of fear and anxiety. Man is separated from animals because of his compassion, which motivates him to interact, and perfectibility, which allows him to improve his surroundings. Man additionally has the ability to refuse instinct, which pushes him along the path out of his natural state. Finally, man's contact with other men leads him to develop a concern for what others think of him. The consequences of this are competition, self-comparison with others, hatred, and urge for power. All of these things push man towards Rousseau's civil society.
The next stage, Savage Man, illustrates that reason now makes men more than animals. Men develops speech and art and educates others as well as himself; he begins to become selfless. In Civilized Man Rousseau believes that men take a step backward. His writings focus on inequality and a loss of innocence due to man's new desires and the love of himself. Thus, imagination has led man to create civilization, and in doing so, man has created all the evils that go along with civilization. Finally, in the Way to Happiness, Rousseau shows what he believes is the way to correct all problems. In short, he writes that reforms are necessary in nearly all fields of science as well as religion, and calls for government. Direct democracy, he writes, is the best form of government to secure liberty and other natural rights that men should have as fundamentals, else society should deny them these original freedoms. Rousseau firmly rejected the doctrine of Original Sin because he believed that all that came from the hand of God was good; his writings revealed his beliefs that men have created all evil, with Civilized Man being an example.
Rousseau's take on civilization and the way men should govern themselves greatly shaped the enlightenment period, as well as the modern era. Some see him as a predecessor to Karl Marx, because of his opposition of the private sector and his verbal attacks on the concept of private property. He also questioned the idea that the will of the majority is always correct, which indeed is a good thing to question. There are times when a great many are confused and only a select few see clearly. His argument was that the government should secure freedom, justice, and equality for everybody, regardless of their position in either the majority or the minority. Rousseau also had the idea that one should not rely on books for education. He states that a child's emotions should be cultivated first, and then their reason. He was a strong proponent of learning by experience, not by reading.
Rousseau's philosophies and ideas did a great deal to shape the way we think today. Although many of his ideas, such as direct democracy, were not adopted, the message he conveyed is still important today. Rousseau was a driving force behind many reforms of the Enlightenment period, and the world would most certainly not be the same place if he had not decided to become an advocate for change.
Discourse on the Arts and SciencesIn this discourse Rousseau argued that the arts and sciences corrupted human morality. This was his first successful published work and also won him a prize from the Academy of Dijon. Upon reading the question the Academy presented, "Has the restoration of the sciences and arts tended to purify morals?" Rousseau decided that he would dedicate the rest of his life to the destructive influence of civilization on human beings, believing that man was by nature good and then later corrupted.
Discourse on InequalityIn this discourse Rousseau is presented with the question, "What is the origin of inequality among men, and is it authorized by natural law?" and answers with his own question, "For how shall we know the source of inequality between men, if we do not begin by knowing mankind?" He then begins to write about the history of mankind beginning with his condition in a state of nature and working stage by stage through man's development towards civil society. In writing this discourse Rousseau ignores the Biblical account of human history and instead sets out to develop his own understanding of man's origins.
Rousseau discusses two types of inequality, natural or physical and moral or political. Natural inequality involves the difference between two men's intelligence; however Rousseau was more concerned with moral inequality. He argues that moral inequality is indigenous to a civil society and causes differences in power and wealth. Rousseau believes that man was happier before the current state of civil society when man was closer to his natural state. To Rousseau, "civil society is a trick perpetrated by the powerful on the weak in order to maintain their power or wealth."

LauraLynn Ireland's First Children's Hospice opened in September 2011 and that was a significant milestone in the life of not only Jane McKenna the founder of the LauraLynn Foundation, a brave woman I had the great pleasure to work with for a short time, but in the lives of many children and families who are in dire need of the service and care LauraLynn House provides.
The hospice receives no state funding and relies entirely on donations.
Jane describes the function of the hospice as- "For parents, it will give that much-needed break – often as simple as a decent night's sleep. It will also support healthy siblings, who are very much left out when a sick child needs 24-hour care. It will offer families a choice when the end comes and ongoing support for the family when the child has passed on, for as long as they choose, which is hugely important, as life can never be the same again. Home Care is also a huge part of the service, as is linking with other organisations working in similar areas."
LauraLynn House is always very grateful for every donation no matter how small. More details can be found at www.lauralynn.ie.

It's here. The change in the seasons when winter gear, skis and boards get cleaned up and put away and the two-wheeled beauty emerges. Dust off your mountain bike, townie or road bike and experience springtime riding in the Gunnison Valley, from townie cruiser days to lung busting climbs and thrilling descents. Below is our (not even close to definitive) roundup of great rides during May, no matter what your ability or two-wheel preference.
Townie Ride:
Grab or rent a townie bike and enjoy a very low key and fun ride. The first (and least lung burning) is a...
Every year around the middle of September, the incredible blue, pink, white and yellow hues of wildflowers give way to the gold of the aspen leaves. While to many, fall represents the end of summer and generates excitement for the upcoming winter season, others continue to revel in summer activities, albeit with cooler temperatures, fewer crowds and amazing foliage.
Below are a few of our favorite mountain bike trails to experience the awe-inspiring fall foliage in and around Crested Butte.
Dyke Trail
Hands down the best trail to ride when the leaves...
The leaves are changing and the temperatures are dropping. The first snowfall of the season means winter is coming yet, there is still time to take in the beauty of fall. We challenge you to mark these activities off your Crested Butte fall bucket list before Old Man Winter returns to the valley.
Drive Kebler Pass
Kebler Pass is one of the most iconic summer drives in the state of Colorado. However, the best time of year for this scenic drive is in September. Kebler Pass is home to the largest aspen grove in the state of Colorado. As the leaves change from...
It has been nearly a month since "the BEST bike demo in the universe" graced the Evolution Bike Park and Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Featuring some of the most popular brands in mountain biking — including Specialized, SCOTT and Yeti among many more — Outerbike offered participants the opportunity to demo as many bikes as time, and their legs, allowed.
And let me tell you, the residual effects of such an event have not worn off!
Pure, old-fashioned fun
As children, many of us spent as much time as possible outdoors; getting dirty, perhaps a little...
CBMR hosted the Gravity Slave Mountain Bike Race in the form of a Dual Slalom on Saturday, August 26. This race took place at the base of the Peachtree Lift and featured some intense competition. The Dual Slalom is perfect for cross country and downhill riders alike, and racers compete head-to-head. First, riders are timed on the downhill timing system for seeding. Once they are seeded, they compete in a bracket style format. After the race riders headed to Butte 66 for the awards party with free raffle prizes and complimentary beer from Odell Brewing Co.
It's no wonder Crested Butte is littered with athletes – with over 750 miles of singletrack in the Gunnison valley, the temptation to get longer days in riding, running or hiking is around every corner. Let's face it—we are a mecca for all types of athletes! But what about the kiddos? With so many different summer programs for kids of every age (that includes those kids 40 and up!) it's easy to think that they can ride, run and ski all day like an adult. However, in order for all of us kids to stay fresh on our bikes, avoid injury and efficiently sharpen our mountain biking skills, lift-...
Crested Butte Mountain Resort and the Evolution Bike Park are excited to welcome the Big Mountain Enduro (BME) back to Crested Butte!
The BME Crested Butte stop will blend high altitude backcountry adventures mixed with some of the longest and most challenging descents in the area.

Step 1 – Practice!
Ride the pump track, in the base area, to perfect your efficiency and timing of movements. Take a few laps on Teaser or Luge to get comfortable with speed. Lucky you, we're opening the dual slalom course in advance of Gravity Slave! This new course design now begins below the Lower West Side Trail directly below the Peach Tree lift line. You can access from the base area by climbing up the Lower West Side Trail. The course can be lapped by riding/pushing back up the ski area access road adjacent to the track.
Step 2 – Find a friend...
There's no way you can mark all of these adventures off your Crested Butte bucket list in just one visit. Whether you are hiking, biking or just enjoying the views, there are definite must-dos for everyone in Crested Butte before the temperature drops.
Hike Aspen to Crested Butte
The hike from Aspen to Crested Butte is worthy of any outdoor enthusiasts' bucket list. The summer drive between the two iconic ski towns is roughly 100 miles and takes three hours. However, if you decide to hike it's only 11 miles from the Maroon Bells Trailhead to Crested Butte. Be...
It's hard to believe that it's already the second week of August. Fall will be here before we know it… Event this morning the air was slightly colder and low hanging fog clung to the Peak. Wildflowers have peaked and soon we will be searching for the first golden aspen leaf of the season. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of time to enjoy the last few weeks of summer here at the Butte! Make sure to check out these events happening this week!

This time of year, rain showers continue to freshen the air, wildflowers and aspens. Mountain bike trails return to their tacky delightful state and streams babble just a little bit louder.

June 28 Downhill Results
June 28 Cross Country Results
Crested Butte is nestled at the northern end of Gunnison County, crisscrossed by over 450 miles of cross country hiking and biking trails for all ability levels. Unique to Crested Butte is that many of the trails stem from downtown, allowing for quick or all-day epic mountain bike rides. This incredible access is only one reason that the Gunnison Valley is knows as a world-class mountain bike destination.
Below are a few of our favorite cross country rides that depart from Elk Avenue, located within Crested Butte's historical downtown.
The Evolution Bike Park features 30 miles of lift-accessed cross country and downhill trails for all ability levels. Unique to the Crested Butte is that the Evolution Bike Park's system of trails blends seamlessly into the vast network of trails that make the Gunnison Valley one of the top mountain bike destinations in the world.
A quick bike-equipped chairlift ride up the Red Lady Express Lift presents the opportunity to link together a much larger ride – from the patrolled bike park to the backcountry.

On Wednesday, June 21 we kicked off our five-week Powerade Pinnacle gO Bike Series. These weekly races consist of varying lengths and difficulty to challenge riders of all abilities in either Cross Country or Downhill disciplines.
New this year, the Downhill discipline features Male and Female Enduro categories in which racers ride their bike up the mountain to the downhill race course and are then timed on the descent.
The races take place on Wednesday evenings at 5:45 pm, with registration from 4:30 - 5:15 pm at Butte 66. The Youth Pump Track lap race will be offered for...
The Trail Crew is happy to let you know that dirt has been drying up fast and we are planning on opening Woods Trail, Crusader and Frequency on Saturday, June 17. It is possible these trails will open on Friday depending on conditions. These openings will mean that the Evolution Bike Park has all of its trail network open except for Psycho Rocks which should be open very soon as well.
Wildflowers are starting to bloom, deer can be seen wondering the base area as well as marmots sunning themselves on rocks. It's the perfect time of year to jump on our hiking trails and soak in the...
Located mid-mountain at the top of the Ten Peaks area, the Umbrella Bar is Crested Butte Mountain Resort's (CBMR) newest on-mountain destination. Situated amongst amazing panoramic views of the resort, the peak and the mountains beyond, the Umbrella Bar features a retractable roof and plenty of Adirondack chair seating, encouraging lounging and gathering.
Adding to the allure of the Umbrella Bar is the fact that requires a bit more effort to get to than most restaurants. The mid-mountain location caters to the adventurous, although with multiple means of arrival, this "off the...

There has been much hype and disturbance of a different kind since the last decade at least, when the glaciers started to melt and mountains of ice blocks [ice bergs] were vanishing just as they would, if we start to boil them, we realized it is because of the global warming due to increase in emissions level from around the world and I read that, half of it from US alone.
US had been the spoiler due to the very fact that their business and profits were their ultimate concern, and the ozone layer and green gas emission are unknown to the most so called, powerful guys on earth 'Mr. George Bush, I saw a programmer in TV showing Mr.Bush [Junior himself, so we know for sure senior as well,for he must be still worse in his awareness] when asked about to comment on Global Warming and its affects was said to have commented 'aye man, it should be warm ,or we will all perish, did you not see the people suffering from cold weather during winter our world should be ice free'[ the answer was in these lines perhaps the wording may have been different]
If that was the response of the most rich and powerful nation's leader,then one can imagine their level of awareness is so abysmally low and are at loss to understand the
Situation and its gravity on human life and eco balance. I had a response from US, where my blog 'solitairebala' had been popular since last few years the reader was responding to my blog post, about the anxiety of human habitats and the effect of Global warming, of the rising sea levels and so on the reader's comment was " hey man just don't think about it –aha-ha-ha".
Do you think the above responses augers well for our efforts when the people of the country responsible for 50% of the emission level is so ignorant lot, what are the literacy rate in US, or Is their curriculum so bad, not to have imparted the knowledge about our mother earth and the balance act which it self is a miracle. Well,as far as I know among all our nations under the umbrella of UN, United States is the only player who had the power and resources to make a difference but choose not to. How can we make it binding on them, once that happen the poorer and developing nations can also be helped by boosting their efforts in support of more green projects and Tree planting ,forestation and so on. Funds are critical, as we can not expect a country like Bangladesh to spend all they have, which is not enough for their food itself, how we can ask them to spend on other less important things in life as far as they are concerned.
Did you all know that, just one grown up tree is enough to provide oxygen for a family of three for their whole life? How many of us have planted a tree & also ensured it to grow up? Ask yourself, I have seen the direct result of cutting a big Neem Tree by a family only to show off their newly built house, the tree was the shade and coolness around the area for decades and cattle used to be settling underneath for shade and grass. The guy who built his house, actually was benefited by the coolness of the Neem tree as fresh air and coolness beneath, more over the tree was on the road side, but the guy thought the tree is covering his newly built house and asked his tree cutters to cut it, so as to show off his house. I was disturbed in mind for at least a week for, the very reason I started to stay there was due to the those Neem trees around, the coolness and fresh air and we lived a healthy life for almost five years, before the above said incident happened. With in one year disaster struck in their family as the house wife committed suicide, the reason has been cited as some thing else, but in my mind I was convinced, it was due to their very nature of going against the nature, which has resulted in the concrete building to warm up during summer and remains just like a boiler inside the house, health and mind must have been so disturbed for her to have taken such a decision to end her life in disgust.
I can cite thousands of such incidents when people go on a rampage and cut trees for the so called development towards dooms day.Gloom in US is an example, because had god been watching they were the worstand deserved to be punished, it has actually happened now is time for them for introspection and re examine their policies.

Apologies for the delay in posting this - have been fighting a battle with a recalcitrant Norton Internet Security file that's crashing my laptop (for the moment, I'm winning).
Anyway, as an earlier comment points out, the Al Gordon 4-Mile run in Prospect Park, slotted for Saturday, Feb. 21, is now a 5K. Furthermore, the planned separate starts for men and women are no more -- it's now an all-comers race at 9 a.m. (Note, use this link, or seek the page from the calendar - the link from the NYRR home page is incorrect).
In the larger scheme of things, this is more of an irritant than anything else (as the commenter pointed out, child care now becomes an issue). No idea yet what the 5K course will be (there are a couple of tried and true ones in the park), and the likelihood that the Manhattan throng will trek out to Brooklyn that morning is low (3,000 participants maybe? We'll see).
(And remember, there's the Cherry Tree 10-mile race/3 person relay that Sunday.)
Still ... c'mon.
Memories of the Brooklyn Half's late shift last year still rankle some runners. I'm hugely in favor of more races outside of Central Park (though more races in Prospect Park isn't necessarily the solution).
If anyone is aware of why the late changes were made (permitting issue? Realization that the park loop is 3.35 miles -- I was curious what route they would take, but figured they'd end on the transverse, like the Brooklyn Half course.), please respond.

Transmitting business messages, leaking important documents and sending love letters across town are not the only uses for facsimile machines. Thanks to the Smith/Greenland advertising agency, they can now be employed for interactive advertising. The agency behind the ''. . . And he drinks Johnnie Walker'' Scotch whisky campaign has developed a novel extension of its billboard ads that featured the telephone numbers of swimsuit-clad young people that, when called, elicited a taped message for the Scotch.
In outdoor ads that will go up in May in San Francisco and Los Angeles, a female secretary, dressed provocatively and photographed from behind, invites consumers to fax her at a posted number ''if you drink Johnnie Walker Red.'' The agency says all missives will be answered -by fax.
''It will be interesting to see what messages we get,'' mused Leo Greenland, Smith/Greenland's chairman. ''It'll probably be a book.''Continue reading the main story

Tehran Taboo (2017) | Cannes Film Festival 2017
- May 22, 2017
- Posted by: Filmuforia
- Category: Animation Arthouse CANNES 2017 Festivals
Dir.: Ali Soozandeh; Animation; Elmira Rafizadeh, Bilal Yasar, Zahra Amir Ebrahimi, Negar Mona Alizadeh, Arash Marandi; Austria/Germany, 2017, 96 min.
First time director Ali Soozandeh shows us the seedy underbelly of Iran's tightly controlled society, where drugs, illegal sex and all sorts of corruption are part of a daily routine. Using rotoscoped characters and a mixture of 3D and drawn backgrounds, he evokes a Tehran full of psychotic men and women being punished for their hypocrisy.
The central character is Pari (Rafizadeh), a prostitute, who takes her mute son Elias (Yasar) with her to work. The first sequence is symbolic of all what follows: Pari is giving a man a blowjob in the front of the car, whilst Elias is sitting in the back, experimenting with an condom. Suddenly, Pari's customer spots his daughter on the pavement, she is walking hand-in-hand with a boyfriend. The customer, enraged, shouts at the young man, calling him a pervert. He pushes Pari aside, and crashes his car.
Pari is trying in vain to get Elias enrolled at a special need school. But her attempts are unsuccessful, since her husband, serving a long jail sentence for drug dealing ("I gave them 20 million to avoid the death penalty, now they want ten million for my freedom"), refuses to sign the application form wilk not allow Pari a divorce. When she asks the clerical Judge Adel to help her, he denies her rights – but finds a nice flat for her, where he can visit her at his leisure, loving the rough sex she provides. In the apartment block Pari, pretending to be a nurse, meets Sara (Ebrahimi), who rather would work as a teacher than have children with her repressive husband Mohsen. Sara looks after Elias, whilst Pari uses Judge Abdel to get her son into a school.
The third narrative strand involves Donya (Alizadeh), who has a one-night stand with musician/DJ Babak (Marandi) and needs an operation to have her hymn replaced for her marriage the following week. When Pari tries to help both Sara and Donya, she discovers that both women have secrets that will lead to tragedy.
Soozandeh makes use of mirrors and other reflective backgrounds to show the reality, hiding behind the action in front. A typical example of male society is Sara's father-in-law, a diabetic, who uses Elias to fetch the hidden chocolate from the shelves, and watches pornographic films in Elias' presence – but is alert enough to switch the TV channels to the state-controlled news, when Sara comes into the room. Although the narrative is sometimes too heavy-handed, Soozandeh succeeds in painting a picture of utter male debauchery and violence behind the curtain of religious purity. MT

- Using a 9×13 baking dish do the following:
- spread 1/3 of the spinach sauce into the baking dish
- layer with 1/3 of the noodles, add all the ricotta on top, then add the shredded chicken
- spread 1/3 of the noodles over the chicken and layer 1/3 of the spinach sauce, if adding sauteed vegetables add them now

Imagine waking up one day to find that virtually every activity you engage in outside your immediate family has become a "paid for" experience. It's all part of a fundamental change taking place in the nature of business, contends bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin. On the horizon looms the Age of Access, an era radically different from any we have known.
Rifkin argues that the capitalist journey, which began with the commodification of goods and the ownership of property, is ending with the commodification of human time and experience. In the future, we will purchase enlightenment and play, grooming and grace, and everything in between. "Lifestyle marketing" is the buzz in the commercial world as more and more consumers become members of corporate-sponsored clubs and participate in corporate-sponsored activities and events. People are even living out their lifestyles in planned commercial residential communities. The business of business, therefore, is no longer about exchanging property but, rather, about buying access to one's very existence in small commercial time segments. In the Age of Access, Rifkin asks, will any time be left for relationships of a noncommercial nature?

Club Penguin posted two new sneak peeks of the puffle party. Here they are.
The first one looks like the white puffle room. The second one looks a lot like the members only, Puffle Show! I can't wait for the Puffle Party to arrive! Also I have an estimate for the time the orange puffle will be available. I think it will be available sometime this April, because that's when you could first get to the box dimension. The box dimension was where the orange puffle was first sighted. That's it for now. Also as I write this my party is just starting.
Waddle On!

De Souza, R. (2010). NGOs in India's elite newspapers: a framing analysis. Asias Journal of Communication, 20(4), pp. 477-493.
This study tries to give an answer on the question: 'How are NGOs framed in the Indian Media?' De Souza (2010) points out that it is important to look at the media because public legitimacy can have serious consequences for an NGOs ability to garner funds. An qualitative framing analysis was conducted. Different frames were founded in the elite newspapers.
This study is important because it shows how NGOs are portrayed in the media. This portraying is important because it affects the fundraising.

The new job is totally fabulous. Just to give you an idea of how pampered the chosen few are, the office kitchen is stocked with a fridge full of cans (coke, diet coke, 7-up etc), bread, milk, butter, fruit, cereal (including muesli), yummy-looking biscuits and various other snacks. The tab for the welcome lunch was picked up by the company.
My day of orientation was completely overwhelming. There are so many systems and processes - servers, sub-folders, chains of command, clients, abbreviations. IT tech support called and conducted training via teleconference and I also had a tele-meeting with the HR bigwig to discuss the contract and benefits package. Phew, I'm as high as a kite and can't wait to get back there, but also exhausted and OD-ing on information.

I had the opportunity to work on the Board of the Red Cross of Delmarva for a few years. This was a tremendously rewarding experience as the Red Cross helps some many people, not only reactively in their time of need, but also in helping them prepare for disaster through training, home preparation, etc.
I resigned from the Board when I left the Delaware Valley area for my new job with Allstate in the Chicago area, though I certainly look forward to similar work in Chicago once I get settled.

Two years ago, Chadwick Boseman was in a movie called Gods of Egypt. It was not a very good movie. But in addition to its not-goodness, it also became infamous for whitewashing – casting, as ancient African deities, a white guy from Scotland, a white guy from Denmark and at least seven white people from Australia. Boseman, the sole black lead, played Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom and inventor of mathematics. Before the movie came out, an interviewer asked him about the criticism, and Boseman said that not only did he agree with it, it was why he took the part – so audiences would see at least one god of African descent. "But, yeah," he added dryly. "People don't make $140 million movies starring black and brown people."
What a difference two years makes. Because now we have Black Panther – not just a $140 million movie starring black and brown people, but a $200 million one. It's very overdue. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created Panther, the first black superhero, way back in 1966, but he didn't show up on the big screen until 50 years later, when Boseman stole Captain America: Civil War. Now, after a decade of Marvel Universe films starring a demographically disproportionate number of white Chrises, the world finally has its first African superhero movie.
"It's a sea-change moment," Boseman says. "I still remember the excitement people had seeing Malcolm X. And this is greater, because it includes other people, too. Everybody comes to see the Marvel movie."
He's not exaggerating. The film broke a ticket-presales record for superhero movies, and at press time it was tracking toward a $165 million opening – better than every Marvel nonsequel except The Avengers and possibly enough to crack the top 10 movie opening weekends of all time.
A quick primer: Boseman plays T'Challa, king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda – the richest and most technologically advanced civilization on Earth. He also moonlights as Black Panther, an Afro-futurist warrior with superhuman powers charged with protecting his people. According to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, Boseman was their only choice for the role. And when the call came, he was ready. "He said yes on the phone," recalls Feige. "I didn't sense a lot of hesitation on his part."
Up until now, Boseman, 41, was most famous for being the biopic guy, playing an unprecedented run of trailblazing African-American icons: Jackie Robinson (42), James Brown (Get On Up), Thurgood Marshall (Marshall). In a way, Black Panther is the logical next step – Thurgood Marshall with vibranium claws and a stealth jet. Boseman has for years wanted to play the character, keeping a journal with notes as far back as 2012. "It's perfect casting," director Ryan Coogler says. "His physicality, his reserved personality, the way he looks younger than he is, wise beyond his years."
"Chad gave a hell of a performance," says Michael B. Jordan, who co-stars as his archnemesis, Killmonger. "I couldn't imagine anybody else."
A few weeks before the movie opens, Boseman is trying to lay low, sipping peppermint tea at the hipster L.A. coffee shop where he used to come to write, back when he was an aspiring screenwriter freshly arrived from New York. He's in head-to-toe black – cardigan, T-shirt, chinos, socks – except for some suede Valentino sneakers and a beaded necklace of Pan-African red, gold and green. He's tall and lean, with long, elegant fingers and the knuckles of a boxer. (Coogler says they would sometimes spar on set to get amped up.) One of his strengths as an actor is a quiet, intense watchfulness, and he's the same in real life, taking in the world with a skeptical half-squint. ("I see everything," Boseman says.) When he does speak, he's invariably thoughtful and thorough. "You're saying I'm long-winded!" he says, laughing.
In some ways, Boseman is a funny fit for a blockbuster action star. He's "90 percent" vegan, casually name-checks radical black intellectuals like Yosef Ben-Jochannan and Frantz Fanon, and says he gets anxious onstage or in front of crowds. ("Going on a talk show? Oh, my God. Nah.") But he also knows he's a conduit for something bigger: "I truly believe there's a truth that needs to enter the world at a particular time. And that's why people are excited about Panther. This is the time."
It's a watershed moment for African-Americans and Hollywood. The cast is a murderers' row of talent – in addition to Boseman and Jordan, there's Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and several actors of immediate African descent, including Star Wars' Lupita Nyong'o (who grew up in Kenya), The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira (who was raised in Zimbabwe) and Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya (whose parents immigrated to England from Uganda). And it's not just the first superhero movie with a predominantly black cast – it's the first with a black director, black writers, black costume and production designers, and a black executive producer. Community groups are renting out whole theaters to screen it; people are running crowd-funding campaigns to buy tickets for black kids who might not be able to see it otherwise.
"We were making a film about what it means to be African," Coogler says. "It was a spirit that we all brought to it, regardless of heritage. The code name for the project was Motherland, and that's what it was. We all went to school on Africa."
"The money and manpower it takes to create this entire African world – it's a huge production," says Boseman. "But this is not Star Wars – this is a black superhero movie!" On one hand, he still can't believe it's happening. But on the other hand – why shouldn't it happen? Moreover, says Boseman, "What would it mean if it didn't happen? You'd be saying there's a second class of Marvel movies. A second-class citizenship."
For Boseman, the film's blackness is inseparable from its appeal. "Some [black] actors will say, 'I don't want to play a character just because he's black,' " he says. "And that's great, I'm not saying they're wrong. But that's missing all the richness that's been whitewashed."
He speaks passionately about black actors' struggle for good material ("Very often, the humanity for black characters is not there") and Hollywood's double standard when it comes to identifying young black talent. ("Every year, agents fly to Australia to find the next great white actor. But where are they taking 14-hour flights to find the next black person?")
"There's a lot of great things happening," Boseman allows. "If you think about Barry [Jenkins], Ava [DuVernay], Ryan – it's a renaissance of black film. But it's still not enough. It's a numbers thing. If you have 15 shots, I got three. If you have nine chances to mess up, I have one. Each one of us knows that if you mess up, your career is done. I see the intensity. I see how Ryan is. If you have a dud, you'll never work in this town again."
He laughs. "Correct me if I'm wrong!"
Chadwick Boseman shares the first time he tried on the 'Black Panther' suit, watch below.
We leave the coffee shop, and Boseman climbs into the back of an Escalade, en route to Larry King Now. "Let me just call my mom real quick so I don't get in trouble," he says.
"Hey," he says when she answers. "I'm good, I'm just checking on you. Did you figure out what you're gonna wear to the premiere? The African skirt. Did I bring that back from Ghana? OK. Tell her to take a picture and send it to me."
They spend a few minutes talking about a Panther screening Boseman is setting up for 150 or so kids in his hometown. "All right," Boseman says. "I gotta go do this TV interview." He starts to hang up, but his mom stops him. "I love you, too," he says. "Bye."
Boseman grew up in South Carolina, in a small city called Anderson. His mom, Carolyn, was a nurse; his dad, Leroy, worked at a textile factory and had an upholstery business on the side. They still live there.
Chad, as he was called ("I actually don't know why my mom chose Chadwick – it's a weird name for a black man"), was the youngest of three sons. His middle brother, Kevin, is a dancer and singer who's toured in a production of The Lion King and danced with the Alvin Ailey company. His oldest brother, Derrick, is a preacher in Tennessee. "I think it's Baptist," Boseman says sheepishly. "I just gave them money, but I can't remember what I wrote on the check."
Racism was a fact of life. His school district was still segregated until just a few years before he was born. "I've been called 'nigger,' run off the road by a redneck, like, 'Fuck you, nigger' – of course," he says. "Seen trucks flying Confederate flags on the way to school. I'm not saying it was an everyday occurrence – but if somebody was feeling tradition that day . . ."
In the summer of 2015, two weeks after a white supremacist gunned down nine worshippers at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, Boseman, who was in Atlanta filming Captain America: Civil War, drove home to see his family. "My cousins hit me, like, 'Don't go this way, because they're doing a Klan rally in the parking lot,' " he says. "So it's not a thing of the past."
Boseman was a quiet kid who loved drawing and wanted to be an architect. He also loved basketball, and was good enough to be recruited to play college ball. But during his junior year of high school, a boy on his team was shot and killed. Boseman coped with the tragedy by writing a play in response to the incident, which he called Crossroads and staged at his school. He realized he liked telling stories. "I just had a feeling that this was something that was calling me," he says. "Suddenly, playing basketball wasn't as important."
He applied to study directing at Howard, the historically black university in Washington, D.C., affectionately known as "the Mecca." In his book Between the World and Me, writer Ta-Nehisi Coates – a contemporary of Boseman's at Howard and, coincidentally, a writer of the Black Panther comics – calls it "the crossroads of the black diaspora," where "scions of Nigerian aristocrats in their business suits [give] dap to bald-headed Q's in purple windbreakers." Boseman ate it up. He got a job at an African bookstore and took a trip to Ghana. He also learned about a certain African superhero.
"At a historically black college, you're getting turned on to all these things – the pantheon of our culture," he says. "It's John Coltrane, it's James Baldwin. And it's Black Panther."
Boseman took extra acting classes to help improve his directing. One of his teachers was Phylicia Rashad, a.k.a. Clair Huxtable from The Cosby Show. She became his mentor. "She would do a play in D.C. and you'd go see it, and she'd drive you home and talk to you," he says. " 'How you eating? You look too skinny. You need a pork chop.' We were just trying to aspire to her excellence."
Rashad has fond memories of Boseman. "Chad was this lanky young man with big eyes and an endearing smile and a very gentle way," she says. "What I saw in him was the sky was the limit. He never asked me to introduce him to anyone – that's not his way. He was going to make it on his own merits."
While taking Rashad's class, Boseman and some of his classmates applied to a prestigious summer program at Oxford to study theater. They were accepted, but they didn't have the money to go. "She pushed for us," Boseman says. "She essentially got some celebrity friends to pay for us to go." ("I don't want to say who paid for me," he adds. "No, it's not Bill Cosby.")
While he was at Oxford, he studied the Western canon: Shakespeare, Beckett, Pinter. "But I always felt like black writers were just as classical," he says. "It's just as difficult to do August Wilson, and the stories he's telling are just as epic."
After graduation, Boseman moved to Bed-Stuy, in Brooklyn, where he fell in with New York's hip-hop theater scene, writing and directing plays featuring rapping stars and beatboxing Greek choruses. "What Hamilton is doing now," he says with pride, "we were doing 15 years ago." To pay the bills, he also taught acting to kids at the Schomburg Center, a black research library in Harlem. ("He was so proud and fulfilled by that," says Rashad. "When he talked about it, he became like sunshine – he loved it so much.") Eventually he started booking gigs on the usual shows – Law & Order, CSI: NY, Cold Case – before his big break playing Robinson in 42. But through it all, he always looked for projects that had the same emotional weight he felt when he was 17 and a bullet took his friend and inspired his first play.
"For me, doing this, it has to be meaningful," Boseman says. "Because that's how it started."
When Boseman got the role of Black Panther, one of the first things he did was ask his father to take a DNA test. He wanted to know more about his roots. "AfricanAncestry.com," he says. "They get specific about what ethnic group you come from, as opposed to just what country." (For the record: Yoruba from Nigeria, Limba and Mende from Sierra Leone, and Jola from Guinea-Bissau.) He says he's also traced his American lineage as far back as he could. "To go any farther," he says with a wry smile, "I'd have to go to property records."
Boseman drew from a wide range of real-life influences for T'Challa: Shaka Zulu and Patrice Lumumba, Mandela speeches and Fela Kuti songs. He read about Masai warriors and talked to a Yoruba babalawo. For his fight scenes, he trained in African martial arts – Dambe boxing, Zulu stick fighting and Angolan capoeira. He also made two trips to South Africa for research. On one trip, a Cape Town street musician bestowed on him a Xhosa name: Mxolisi, or "Peacemaker."
"I think it was his way of saying, 'As an African-American, I know you're disconnected from your ancestors and your culture and your traditions,' " Boseman says. " 'Here's my way of welcoming you back.' "
The most important thing to him was the accent. In the movie, the Wakandans essentially speak Xhosa, one of the official languages of South Africa, and when Wakandans speak English, it's with a Xhosa accent. "I had to push for that," Boseman says. "I felt there was no way in the world I could do the movie without an accent. But I had to convince [the studio] it was something we couldn't be afraid of. My argument was that we train the audience's ear in the first five minutes – give them subtitles, give them whatever they need – and I believe they'll follow it the same way they'll follow an Irish accent or a Cockney accent. We watch movies all the time when this happens," he adds. "Why all of a sudden is it 'We can't follow it' when it's African?"
And then, of course, there was Obama. When the idea for a Black Panther movie was first hatched, a black man was president of the United States. "I think his presence opened the door for it in a way," Boseman says. He borrowed from Obama the concept of "a leader who's not going to respond to criticism – the type of person who can hold his tongue and hold his ground." He also says he and Coogler talked about vibranium – the ultravaluable metal that provides Wakanda its wealth and technological prowess – as a kind of nuclear weapon. "So it's a similar thing," he says. "Who would you want to get the call at three in the morning? I'd rather it be someone like [Obama] or T'Challa than . . . somebody else."
Which brings us to the current officeholder. What does Boseman think T'Challa – the genius trillionaire monarch of Africa's most sophisticated kingdom – would make of President Trump referring to certain nations in Africa as "shithole countries"?
Boseman – who last year said Trump was "giving voice to white supremacy" – today just smiles. "I'd love to answer that," he says. "But I don't want to give him Panther time."
A few days later, Black Panther has its world premiere at a theater in L.A. It feels like half of black Hollywood is there: Don Cheadle munching popcorn in the balcony, Laurence Fishburne giving fist-bumps on the staircase, Donald Glover flossing resplendently in a tangerine suit, Jamie Foxx in a T-shirt that reads wakanda forever. When the movie plays, there are cheers, tears, laughter and multiple standing ovations. It's a celebration. People are feeling it.
Later that week, Coogler is sitting on a hotel balcony in Beverly Hills, trying to process it all. "Premieres are emotionally overwhelming, man," he says. He was mostly focused on the 50 or so family members who came from the Bay Area to see it, some of them, like his grandmother, elderly and in wheelchairs. "I was just trying to make sure they're OK," he says. "My mind was on ramps."
Much has been made about Coogler being the first black director on a Marvel movie, but comparatively little has been made about his youth. He's only 31 – shockingly young to be helming a movie this gigantic. "He's the youngest filmmaker we've ever hired," says Marvel's Feige. "It's a tremendous gift that he has."
The wunderkind's previous two movies – 2013 Sundance darling Fruitvale Station, about the killing of Oscar Grant, an unarmed black man shot in the back by police while facedown on an Oakland subway platform; and 2015's Rocky reboot, Creed, about a young boxer who grows up in juvenile detention and learns to channel his anger in the ring – were both critical and box-office hits, leaving little doubt Coogler was up to the challenge. But Jordan, who starred in both of those films, says it was still "surreal" being on the set of a $200 million movie with the same director who, five years ago, was shooting a $900,000 indie with, as Jordan puts it, "some duct tape and one camera.
"Every so often, we'd be setting up the next shot," Jordan says, "standing off to the side, just the two of us like, 'Man, this shit's crazy!' "
For his part, Coogler has said he was too stressed to really enjoy it. "But every day, you'd see something and be like, 'Jesus. I'm really doing this.' "
Coogler has said Black Panther is the most personal film he's ever made – which seems unlikely, until he explains.
"I don't know if you've ever listened to James Cameron talk about how he made Titanic?" he says. "I've heard interviews with him, and he made Titanic because he wanted to explore the ocean. What he was really passionate about was deep-sea diving and finding underwater wrecks, and he looked at Titanic as an opportunity to do that, get paid and maybe get a movie out of it. He got this incredibly successful movie as a result of one guy's curiosity."
Coogler's Black Panther is about many things: family, responsibility, fathers and sons, the power of badass women. Immigration, borders, refugees. What it means to be black. What it means to be African. What it means to be a citizen of the world.
But it's also a movie about America – the America of mandatory-minimum sentencing and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It's about how, in one character's words, "leaders have been assassinated, communities flooded with drugs." And it's about – in the haunting last words of another character – "my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage."
When Coogler was growing up in Oakland, his father worked at a juvenile hall in San Francisco. "It's called YGC – Youth Guidance Center," Coogler says. "It's where minors are incarcerated. And it's shitty."
When Coogler turned 21, he got a job there too. "Frisco is a city that's predominantly white and Asian," he says. "But you go in there, and all you see is black and Hispanic kids. You'd see them facing an extended [sentence] that doesn't make sense. Or you get family-visit day and see their family: 'Oh, man. That's what these kids go back to? These kids don't have a shot.' "
Some of the issues Coogler started grappling with at YGC would become themes of his first two movies: broken families, over-policing and over-incarceration, the dearth of opportunities for young black men. They also show up in Black Panther. Mainly it's through the character of Jordan's Killmonger, an abandoned member of the Wakandan royal family who grew up orphaned in Oakland and became a Navy SEAL-turned-black-ops-assassin. He returns to his ancestral country to unseat T'Challa from the throne, as well as use Wakanda's riches and weapons to spark an international racial uprising. "Where I'm from, when black folks started revolutions, they never had the firepower or the resources to fight their oppressors," he says at one point. His plan is to arm people of color worldwide, "so they can rise up and kill those in power."
Jordan, like Boseman, drew from real-life figures for Killmonger: Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton, Tupac Shakur. "This young black man from Oakland, growing up in systemic oppression, not having his mom and dad around, going to foster care, being a part of this system," Jordan says. "With [Killmonger] being African-American like myself, I understood his rage, and how he could get to the point where he had to do what he had to do, by any
means necessary."
For Boseman, Killmonger and T'Challa are two sides of the same coin. Not quite Malcolm and Martin – because T'Challa is down to fight, too – but something similar. Radical versus diplomat, revolutionary versus peacemaker. "Those ideas, that conflict – I've been having that conversation almost my whole life," he says. "But it's never actually happened on a stage where you can hear it. So the fact that we get to have that conversation, and you get to hear it – and have to deal with it? That's what makes this movie very different."
In other words, enjoy your black-superhero movie. But be prepared to reckon with more than 500 years of systematic oppression, too.
"A lot of people bought tickets," Boseman says, grinning. "But they're not really expecting that."
After a long day of promo, Boseman is winding down at the Dime, a hip-hop cocktail bar near West Hollywood. He's with Logan Coles, his writing partner and close friend from Howard, and Addison Henderson, his friend and trainer. They're here to celebrate: In addition to the movie, Coles' lady is eight months pregnant with their first child. "She's about to pop," Boseman says. He raises his glass of tequila: "To new life!"
While the DJ spins Tupac and Nas, they huddle in a banquette and plot what's next. We'll certainly see more of Black Panther this summer, when he'll team with Captain America to defend the world against an alien invasion in Avengers: Infinity War. But Boseman seems most excited to get back to writing. He and Coles are about to start work on a screenplay about a minister and anti-gang activist from Boston, whom Boseman hopes to play. They're also fine-tuning a script they wrote called Expatriate, about a 1970s airline hijacking, which Oscar winner Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) has already signed on to direct.
Boseman has a lot he wants to do. "There's a plethora of stories in our culture that haven't been told, because Hollywood didn't believe they were viable," he says. "It would be cool to see slices of history that you haven't seen with African figures. Like Africans in Europe – the Moors in Spain. Or if you go to Portugal, they have statues of black people all over the place. So not only have we been here," Boseman says, "but we've directly affected everything that you think is European."
"It's remarkable, man," Coles says. "I remember sitting in a coffee shop in Bed-Stuy, and we might have had enough money for two coffees. But we knew the homeboy that owned the place, they'd bring us soup, and we'd be there until night working on scripts. We never imagined superhero stuff."
The waitress delivers more shots, and Boseman proposes another toast. "To seeing the movie," he says. "And to knowing that it's good!"
Before we part ways, Boseman has had a change of heart. He's talking about the Oxford trip – the celebrity who gave Rashad money. "After we got back, we got a benefactor letter," he says. "Denzel paid for me."
Yes, that Denzel. "I'm sure he has no idea," says Boseman. "It was random." He wrote him a letter when he found out – "I couldn't wait to write my thank-you letter!" – but unless Washington is a hoarder or has a photographic memory, there's no reason to think he remembers an unknown college kid from 20 years ago. "I've been waiting to meet him, so I can tell him."
There's a reason he didn't want to tell me before. "You never want to make someone feel like they owe you something else," he says. "They've already given you whatever it is they were supposed to give you. But I realized this morning that I've gotten to a point where nobody would think that." He smiles. "I don't need any more help."

This weekend has been such a whirl I don't know whether I'm Arthur or Martha.
So Saturday we left Pangbourne in glorious (still) summer weather, passing a very nice barge that would suite Ray And Diane very well for their European adventure!
Further along we passed a steam launch. they were all so very well dressed...a bit like ourselves.
Just look at this river, it is absolutely fantastic. I had no idea that the Thames was such a lovely and easy waterway to cruise on, I reckon I could spend months on here.
Every blogger takes a pic of this amazing... room jutting out over the Thames, but what they don't mention is that it is furnished with cheap crappy plastic furniture!
This is the main house, probably full of bloody Ikea.
The lockie was on his smoko so we had to press the buttons ourselves.
Last lock of the day was Days Lock, where we tied up alongside NB No Problem and NB Matilda Rose, who were moored up there for the weekend. It was the first time that we have moored up next to another boat.
We had a barbie, (another first for us) followed by a night of chat by a very smoky fire. Graham got his banjo thingy out but how many times can you sing Smoke gets in your eyes!! Great night, all the humans and animals got on with each other very well. Sue now knows who the nutter 'Paul' is that keeps commenting about her engine.....its ME!
We left at the respectful early hour of 10.00am and straight away were into a drag race with another narrow boat, so we let him win. As you can see, Bombo was enthralled!
It doesn't look too bad but this was a bit of a turbulent lock, I had to use two hands to hold the rope!
Into Abingdon, which was another first! What a lovely place, we got a really good mooring so we went for a little walk around for an hour or so, we really wish we had more time to check these places out....
Onwards towards Oxford we motored, it was quite magical on a virtually empty river except for Hammy, Roderick and GP!
We pulled up in Oxford just passed Osney Lock, right outside a pub, how handy is that? There is the good ship right outside the window ...
Ray and Leonie from NB Firefly NZ were moored up not too far away so came to join us for Sunday dinner and a few drinks in the pub, so yet another late night ... can't complain, no work tomorrow is there!
