Former Lobbyist for Bramson Developer "Spills the Beans" for Leniency in Sentencing
Richard Lipsky, a former lobbyist for Echo Bay developer Forest City Ratner, received a sentence of three months in federal prison in connection to his political corruption guilty plea. The New York Times is reporting Lipsky's lenient sentence is in consideration of his (Lipsky's) "substantial credit for his cooperation" and, according to a 4 page letter issued from the office of Preet Bharara, U.S.Attorney for the Southern District of New York "substantial assistance in the investigation and prosecution of numerous other persons".
At the time of his entering a guilty plea in January, Mr Lipsky was facing up to 10 years in jail as a result of a broad investigation that included bribing a politician in return for favors that would benefit his clients. Among those involved were Brooklyn Democratic State Senator Carl Kruger who also plead guilty to corruption. Kruger was sentenced to 7 years in prison earlier this year.
Lipsky's clients included food and beverage distributors and, as named in the complaint, "developer number 1" who was later identified in news reports as Forest City Ratner. Lipsky's clients have not been accused of any wrongdoing.
Forest City was awarded the rights to New Rochelle's Echo Bay development that had begun as a sweeping 26 acre waterfront revitalization project that has since dwindled down to a little over 6 acres through the years. Forest City has long been considered a favored developer of New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson in light of considerable campaign contributions made by members of the Ratner family, current and former principals of the multi-billion dollar real estate investment trust (REIT) company.

I believe this taints Bramson
I believe this taints Bramson for a number of reasons. His body of work includes Cappelli and Forest City.
Both clearly have questionable ethical methods. Since there are Politicians awaiting sentencing one would have to consider if it looks like a duck and if it waddles like a duck it probably is a duck.
So why does a Ceremonial Mayor have so much power when you can point to decisions that would raise eyebrows again and again in so many ways?
Can you taint the already tainted?
You don't think the ghostly sewer that is downtown New Rochelle is the result of an honest, ethical mayoral duo for the past TWENTY ONE years, do you?

I'm Back...and Creative Thinking
Creative Thinking for Writers in 5 Easy Steps by Lola Sharp
1) No Negative Self-Talk. Creativity requires freedom. YOU ARE CREATIVE and YOU ARE BRILLIANT in your own special way. It is born within us ALL. Give yourself the freedom to play, to try new things, to live without fear or shame, to be unique.
2) Read, Write and Study Poetry (no one ever has to see it). Play. With words.
3) Start and Maintain Lists of 'Favorite Evocative Words'. Be creative with these lists and continue to add to them.
*(I prefer these lists be hand-written, because I believe pen to paper activates deeper parts of our imagination.) (also, try writing with your least dominant hand! :) (use colorful ink if you like. Feel free to doodle, too. :)

"Samsung has now filed an unredacted version of its motion for judgment as a matter of law, a new trial, and/or remittitur. That's the one that was originally filed with a redacted section we figured out was about the foreman, Velvin Hogan. The judge ordered it filed unsealed, and so now we get to read all about it. It's pretty shocking to see the full story. I understand now why Samsung tried to seal it. They call Mr. Hogan untruthful in voir dire (and I gather in media interviews too), accuse him of 'implied bias' and of tainting the process by introducing extraneous 'evidence' of his own during jury deliberations, all of which calls, Samsung writes, for an evidentiary hearing and a new trial with an unbiased jury as the cure." It's a treasure trove of courtroom drama, this. Like this one: Hogan got sued by his former employer Seagate in 1993, causing him to go bankrupt. The lawyer in said case is now married to one of the partners of the law firm representing Samsung in this case. Samsung seems to implicitly - and sometimes explicitly - argue that Hogan had a score to settle in this case, because - get this - Samsung has been Seagate's largest shareholder since last year. Hogan failed to disclose the Seagate lawsuit during voire dire, which is a pretty serious matter. No matter whose side you're on, this is John Grisham-worthy.

Yes, I also think that's the case. They probably picked him because of his age and personality. He seems to be very talkative so chances are he was the most vocal and dominant of the bunch.
No matter who gets picked, capable or not, they should have some one who just tags along to make sure they don't make a mess of it.
Just like sports have referees I guess.
RE[7]: Comment by MOS6510
by Laurence on Wed 3rd Oct 2012 21:27 in reply to "RE[6]: Comment by MOS6510"
From what I've gathered, the jury picked him because they believed he knew what he was talking about.
This was a very convoluted trial. Massively over-complicated in fact. So I don't really blame the jury if they were overwhelmed by all the information provided. Not that it excuses Hogan -nor anyone else- influencing other jurors.

I'd start about 4-5 days ahead of time to make sure it has time to ferment out. If it goes more quickly than expected, a couple extra days in the fridge won't hurt. No need to warm it up before pitching, unless you want to add some wort on brew day.
Followup question for those with more experience than me - do you find you need more time to cold crash certain yeast strains (like belgians, weizens or lagers)?
I usually add a pinch to the starter and then to the boil as well.
Same question, do less flocculant strains need more time in the fridge? I'll be using White Labs 545 (Belgian Strong Ale) for the first time, so I don't have any experience with it.
What is the purpose of cold crashing yeast starter? I just dump straight from stir plate after 48 hours. Is it dependent on type of yeast?

Colonel Ghaddafi with Colonel Nasser in 1969
The Issam al-Aryan scandal continues to reverberate. Al-Aryan, you will remember, is the senior Muslim Brotherhood official who was forced to resign over his remarks that Jews in Israel expelled by Nasser should return to Egypt, while Palestinians took their place. Whatever al-Aryan's motives, at least he had acknowledged that Jews had been expelled - a fact now being denied by the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, according to the Algemeiner.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas claimed yesterday that no Jews
were expelled from Egypt under the rule of President Gamal Abdel Nasser,
according to
Al-Masryalyoum. Publicly disagreeing with Essam El-Erian, deputy head of
the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, who in December called
for the Jews expelled by Nasser to return to Egypt, Abbas claimed that
the Jews left Egypt "willingly" and "as a result of Zionist
In 1956, the Egyptian Ministry of Religion issued
a decree stating that "All Jews are Zionists and enemies of the state."
Around 25,000 Jews were expelled from Egypt that year, and by the 21st
century, there were less than 100 Jews in the country.
Abbas said that any talk about Jews having "a right to obtain
compensation" is not true. He also criticized Arab countries for not
donating significant funds to the PA, as they are in "a very difficult
situation," according to Abbas.
Erian's comments were not popular in Egypt. He resigned, allegedly because he was "occupied with other work."

Shimon Peres recently said in the NYTimes that abu mazen was an "excellent" "peace partner" for Israel. Well, he's getting on to 90 years of age and they say No fool like an old fool. They also say of some men that their old age shames their youth.
Besides being an effort to undermine the policies of PM Netanyahu, this statement is very foolish.

As a young woman who is constantly on the go; and on a college budget; this product (I got the stamper, scraper, and 2 stencils; total: $25-$30 bucks w/shipping) is definately something you need to sit down and focus on; and spare about a good half hour to an hour for. I said "yes" I'd buy again because in the end, it does do it's job. It's just a LOT of work.
The stamper- It hardly picks up the nail polish to be vibrant and bright on your nail. (Konad said they have a special nail polish to use- I don't want to buy it since I already paid enough for the tools as it was; if someone wants to try their nail polish, please add a review for it!) But; it does stamp as advertised. Just not as brightly as I had hoped and as they had shown.
The stencil- You have to almost pour your nail polish on top of it in order to fill all the crooks and crannies; then you have to clean it repeatedly after each nail, otherwise it'll clog the stencil with dried polish and wont work.
The scraper- What a pain in the butt; again, had to wipe off constantly, there's a lot of little crevices to hold the scraper-blade in place of which, nail polish gets into and dries.
This product you definately want to clean as you go. It can be potentially very messy. I'd give this product a 3 out of 5 stars; It's OK. However I don't fully agree with the price they have their stencils, stampers, and kits set at. As mentioned, I run on a college budget, so spending 25-30 bucks on nail polish tools alone can be a bit much.On top of it they mentioned a "Special" nail polish to use for their stencils; again. I don't feel like paying another 5-12 bucks on "special" nail polish.
This would make a lovely gift (especially for a teenager; or someone who takes very good care of their nails and paints them often.) The price can be a little steep, especially if you're on a small budget and don't want to spend 6+ dollars on nail polish.
However, In the future I don't think I'd be buying this product again unless their price was lower. It DOES work for the most part; but it takes a LOT of effort and time to do. And the colors don't always come out as bright and playful as they show on their ads.

I bought a Konad stamping set that contains three stamping polish (red, black and white), four stamping plates, a stamper and a scraper. They all work beautifully. I've bought from other brands but I keep using Konad instead even though it's much more expensive.

Hi after only 5 days I am now a KONAD addict! I love nail polish, so much so my boyfriend actual got me nail polishes instead of an easter egg! What a guy!
This is extremely easy to use although after reading a tip on the net i now cut up plastic cards (loyalty, store cards, old bank cards etc) to use as my scraper. they are super smooth and don't scratch your plate like the metal one.
I've uploaded a wee pic of silver leopard print for you to see :) You d have to use Konad special polishes although thy do definitely work better in terms of colour density, but if you have a thick polish or a bright one they will work great on light backgrounds.
I got my kit from Konad nails on ebay and they dispatch for next day delivery.
I'm just away now o order some more plates..... :) x

got the products and tested yesterday. stamper, scraper, some plates.
It's great!! took me long to finish but maybe because it was the first time.
I needed some practice but the practice didnt take too long.
what took me long basically was, choosing which pattern to use. lol
When I clean the plate after use, i found that a cheap makeup sponge is good to use.
it wont leave fibers as like when I used cotton ball.

I love Konad nail stamps! So easy to use and it has really helped me not want to bite my nails. Save your money and don't worry about using the special nail polish.

I love this product. The only thing I have problems with is the "special" nail polish the lady talked me in to buying. She said it was the best for the nail wheels because it is a thicker consistency. I find it's too think to work with and it doesn't transfer well on to the stamper. If you buy this, don't waste your money on the Konad brand polishes. Any polish would work better. (My personal favorite is OPI Alpine Snow.)

ARGH I accidentally clicked backspace and my entire review was lost. Sigh :( Okay, again. Abbreviated.
I first ran across these a few years ago at a mall kiosk in Houston, and thought they were kind of cool but gimmicky and not worth the money. Fast forward a few years and that has suddenly changed! I am a polish minimalist, always keeping my nails clear or french manicured. Most of the time I think of colored nails as tacky, but that's because I see gunky, chipped colors on dry, nailbitten hands [ugh] in gaudy colors and designs. But sometime recently I started running across pictures of pretty nails [thank you MUA!] and started thinking maybe colors weren't so bad. Then came the designs. Then came the [re?]discovery of nail stamps.
Fascinated, within a few days I had ordered the double sided stamper and two plates - m15 and m57 - from wowsocool [no affiliation] because of the free shipping over $20 and retailmenot coupons. They also have 'kits' but I didn't feel they were so worth it if you weren't into the plates offered. It arrived in less than a week. I also ordered two plates off of eBay, as there are MANY more designs. quality is not AS good, but 90-95% is perfectly acceptable. My white polish needs to be thickened up, as it shows up kind of watery and smeary, but my brand new, thin shimmer polishes come out crisp and quite opaque.
Most people here suggest using a plastic card intead of the metal scraper, but I find that leaves it smeary and takes off too much polish from the design itself. I guess I'm doomed to have scratched up plates. The possibility of messing up is always there, but these are very easy to use. So much fun for random, fun nail designs! I'm heading back to Houston for a wedding and looking forward to doing everyone's nails!
I most likely won't be purchasing any more plates, as these are plenty for fun and I am not a hardcore nail person :)

My nailstamping plates are mostly not the Konad ones, but some very inexpensive plates and stampers from Hong Kong. The images are crisp and clear, and it cost me almost nothing (about $23 for 1 double sided stamper, 1 one sided stamper, 1 xl plate and 2 smaller ones, two scrapers and two polishes, free shipping). I prefer to use my old nailpolishes for stamping, as they are thicker. And so called one-coaters are also good for this, works perfect! I voted YES to if I would buy it again, because I love this nail art system.

I'm a professional in my late 20's...I really can't wear nail polish to my work place...I've been on holiday for just a while now and saw this on MUA and decided to watch some YT videos that looked so easy!!! I recently purchased a Konad set and went wild with my 4 plates! lol! my hubby thinks i've lost it! %) But it gives some oomph to my nails and i feel lyk a teenager all over again with funky kewl nailz! :D For people looking to stand out in a crowd or being spoken to by random strangers...lol..this is ONE of the many ways! The set is totally fool-proof for beginners. The colour is good and lasts a week and i don't believe the rep when she says ONLY Konad polishes work for stamping. I'm sure we can use other thick matte polishes too! Will do so soon and post pics! :)

I have 2 plates and 1 polish, which isn't really that much. I'm going to buy more later, because nail-art have never been as easy and quick! People always ask how I've done my nails! Thumbs up for easy, quick and good looking nail-art!

How many assumptions should a good scientific model (In this case, a big theory of everything) contain?
Tom Campbell, physicist and author of My Big TOE, presents to us a brief glimpse into the logical process he used to derive his theory (Big Theory of Everything, or Grand Unified Theory) (See also: "Solving the 'Hard Problem' of Physics and Consciousness" on this channel) in this and other interviews. (The Calgary workshop, this channel, presents the entire theory in an encapsulated form)
A good model or theory, particularly if it represents a TOE, should be elegant and simple. The fewer assumptions required to describe all the known facts, the more likely it is that the model represents truth.
Tom's Big TOE theory contains only two assumptions. Consciousness exists. It evolves. The rest is logically derived.
By comparison, "Many Worlds" theory and "string" theory, two of the most popular current scientific attempts at "little TOEs", contain around 14 assumptions each.
In this interview you will hear why virtual reality and time are needed for Consciousness evolution, and the answer to perhaps one of the most perplexing questions of all time for scientists: How Consciousness connects to the physical.

Teri Fleming-Dupre had her first modeling assignment at the age of 12. Twenty-eight years later she is "still going strong." Karon Shea of Karon Shea Model Management has watched Ms. Fleming-Dupre's modeling career through stints working with Mattel as Barbie, modeling for Gitano jeans, Nikon Camera and Cover Girl, and appearing in hundreds of fashion shows. She has combined modeling (and teaching and consulting) with being a mom of five boys ages 5-16. She is married to Nick Dupre, who works in the scrap yard business. "Our work is very different," Ms. Fleming-Dupre said. "We're a pair."
How did your modeling career begin? What was your first assignment?
My modeling career began by simply taking a class at La Femmina ... Karon (Shea) immediately thought I had potential so I dove right in. Being that I was so young, both Karon and my parents were integral in my developing career. My first assignment locally was a fashion show at the Worcester Center. My first national exposure was a commercial for A&P (supermarkets), filmed in New York City.
Was this something you knew you liked right away?
Just being on stage (at Worcester Center) and seeing people I knew in the audience — I loved it. I absolutely loved it. It was a fit. It was just a fit. I had taken dance, and my father had coached softball — and I had just walked around right field ...
How old were you when you did the A&P commercial in New York?
Maybe 14. I had done a lot of local things at that point. That was my very first TV commercial ... I just remember what a big production "something so simple" was. It would look so simple. It was just me walking down a grocery aisle. But it (the grocery aisle) was a fake one they had made in the studio. My piece was 13 seconds, but it took 12 hours — so a lot of waiting. The make-up, the hair, everything had to be perfect. But it was a lot of fun.
What did your friends think about all this?
Everyone was really great about it. I didn't have any negatives. I still have the same friends I had since high school. We're a pretty tight group. They still laugh that I do it for a job.
Any funny stories?
I still laugh with my parents at the places we would go and how we did it. I would put my hair in rollers as we drove three-and-a-half hours (to New York). I would do my homework in the car. I look back and think, "How did that actually happen?" ...
And when I had newborn babies. The juggling. As I look back, I don't know how I did it.
Is modeling glamorous, hard work, or both?
Modeling is all three. That's what makes it such a great job. Never boring, that's for sure. ... It is very glamorous at times. It's an escape. I say (when I'm working in Worcester) it's fashion to family in 50 (minutes). It's literally that fast. And at home I'm not a model. At home I'm a mom. I'm a wife.
What one thing would surprise most people about modeling if you told them about it?
I think probably that it is a real job that takes more than just a smile. You have to take it seriously and always be prompt and professional so clients will use you repeatedly.
And exercise, diet?
Exercise, diet — all the time. And honestly, a healthy lifestyle is the key. Part of my job is taking care of myself. I work out and eat well — but every now and then I've been known to cheat. The kids know.
Is it possible to make a living as a model based in Worcester?
I believe so, yes. If you make yourself available and be flexible. I'm kind of in a unique situation. I'm a model and I'm working at the (KSMM) agency. I also teach up and coming models and actors and avail myself as a stylist and photo shoot adviser assisting models with wardrobe and makeup.
One of the things you teach is acting. Have you ever acted?
Honestly, modeling is acting because you need to be whatever they want you to be that day.
Did you have any help with this form of acting?
I had the all-American look, but I had a horrible Worcester accent. I had to adjust my dialect. I learned how to recognize it (accent) as I went for auditions.
Are there any differences in the modeling business between when you started out and now?
Huge differences. When we first started we had big portfolio books with photos and at every audition you would bring your book. I used to lug the book. Ninety percent is now online. They pre-screen who they want to see because it's all digital. It's a huge time-saver now ...
And I feel the work ethic is different now, too. You need to have a really strong ethic. You need to carry yourself well. Show up on time ... and watch what you put on your computer. You need to be careful.
What do you think is the most important advice you give to your students?
My most important advice would be always think positive, and believe in yourself no matter what life throws your way.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The funding method for a private school tuition voucher program pushed through the Legislature last year by Gov. Bobby Jindal is unconstitutional, the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a 6-1 opinion that raised questions about how the program will be funded in the coming year.
It also raised questions about schools that accepted voucher students last year. An attorney for the Louisiana Association of Educators said the teacher union will ask Jindal to get back millions of dollars disbursed to private and parochial schools in the last year through the voucher program. And, he said the union will go to court if Jindal refuses.
The program makes state-paid tuition available to students from low- to moderate-income families who would otherwise have to attend a poorly performing public school.
Jindal issued a statement saying the program would continue with an add-on through the regular annual budget process. He'll need backing from lawmakers to accomplish that.
"We're disappointed the funding mechanism was rejected, but we are committed to making sure this program continues and we will fund it through the budget," the governor said in a statement.
His statement added: "The bottom line is that our kids only get one chance to grow up, and we are committed to making sure choice is alive and families can send their children to the school of their choice."
Tuesday's Supreme Court decision upholds a state district court ruling that the Louisiana Constitution forbids using money earmarked for public schools in the state's Minimum Foundation Program to pay for private school tuition.
Justice John Weimer emphasized in the opinion that the court was not ruling on the effectiveness or value of the voucher program. The ruling, Weimer said, was strictly limited to constitutional issues.
"After reviewing the record, the legislative instruments, and the constitutional provisions at issue, we agree with the district court that once funds are dedicated to the state's Minimum Foundation Program for public education, the constitution prohibits those funds from being expended on the tuition costs of nonpublic schools and nonpublic entities," Weimer wrote.
The high court also ruled that the MFP formula was not legally approved last year - in part because it received only 51 votes in the House when 53 were needed.
The implication of that part of the ruling was unclear as the state's current budget year draws nearer to its June 30 end. The president of another major teacher union in the state, Steve Monaghan of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, said it could prompt some local school districts whose funding went down in the last MFP allocation to file individual lawsuits.
The Jindal administration has pushed on with the voucher program despite the earlier court ruling. Roughly 8,000 students have been approved for vouchers in the coming school year. It remains unclear how the program will be funded now that use of MFP money has been struck down.
"On the most important aspect of the law, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of families. The Scholarship Program will continue, and thousands of Louisiana families will continue to have the final say in where to send their children to school," said state Superintendent of Education John White, a voucher supporter.
The court's majority in the case included Chief Justice Bernette Johnson and Justices Jeffrey Victory, Jeanette Knoll, Marcus Clark and Jefferson Hughes.
Justice Greg Guidry was the only dissenter.
"The majority overlooks the fact that, once a student leaves a district, the district is no longer entitled to the state's share of the MFP for that student, and thus the district's share of the MFP is removed from the MFP allocation to that district," Guidry wrote.
Monaghan and Joyce Haynes of the LAE joined local level public school administrators who had fought the voucher program in court to praise the ruling during a news conference outside the Capitol.
"The supreme court was very clear in their decision making that the instruments were null and void from the outset," said Scott Richard, executive director of the Louisiana School Board Association. "We think that's a very clear and succinct message that there needs to be more stakeholder input from all the public education stakeholders in the state in regards to crafting legislation that affects all of our students."
"The governor right now is crafting his response, we would hope that his response would be, 'Time for combat is over, time for collaboration with our stakeholders should begin,'" said Monaghan.
Voucher supporters took heart that the court struck the funding and not the program itself.
"While the Supreme Court did rule against the funding source, we believe the ruling on the program itself validates what we've been saying all along - this program is lawful. We are confident that the program will remain intact in Louisiana," Kenneth Campbell, president of the Black Alliance for Educational Options, said in a news release.

Welcome Wagon: Jon Singleton
Jonathan Singleton
Singleton was a Philadelphia 8th Round pick in the 2009 draft, and was largely considered to be Philly's top prospect (FanGraphs puts him at #2, behind Domonic Brown). He'll be 20 in mid-September, is 6'2", 215lbs, and was Baseball America's 39th-ranked prospect coming into 2011.
In 2009, he played 31 games for the Phillies' GCL team, hitting .290/.395/.440, with 13K:18BB. Playing for Lakewood, in the South Atlantic League, in 104 games he hit .290/.393/.479, with 74K:62BB in 2010. In 2011, he advanced to High-A Clearwater, where he was hitting .282/.386/.411, with 14 doubles and nine homers in 378 plate appearances.
The question is about his defense. Singleton played first in 2009 and 2010, but has split time between left field (30 games) and first base (45 games) in 2011. It could go either way: The Astros could put him back at 1B, since Mills can't trust Brett Wallace to even think about a left-handed pitcher.
Of course, they could just make Singleton a full-time outfielder. With J.D. Martinez' call-up, there's a gap. And if Singleton can hold it down in the outfield, he could start in LF in 2013, when Carlos Lee is mercifully off the team. If the Astros thought too much of J.B. Shuck, he would have come up to Houston instead of Martinez.
I also wonder if he will move to the corresponding level, which would be Lancaster. David Flores has been playing 1B for the JetHawks, and is hitting .325/.385/.577. Kody Hinze was recently called up, and is flat-out killing the ball, hitting .348/.410/.623 for Double-A Corpus Christi, in 19 games.
Of course, they could just make Singleton a full-time outfielder. With J.D. Martinez' call-up, there's a gap. And if Singleton can hold it down in the outfield, he could start in LF in 2013, when Carlos Lee is mercifully off the team. If the Astros thought too much of J.B. Shuck, he would have come up to Houston instead of Martinez.
So here's a guess: If the Astros keep him at 1B, it's unlikely, but possible (as OremLK notes, he's only 19) he could go to OKC, and put pressure on Brett Wallace, effectively ending Koby Clemens' shot at Astros glory. If the Astros move him permanently to OF, he goes to Corpus and takes J.D. Martinez' spot.
UPDATE: He's fared much better at 1B than in the outfield, so let's call him a 1B.
2 comments:

Slow down, he's just 19. Hinze will move up to AAA next year, and Singleton will probably take his spot at AA, pending his August performance in the CAL. Earliest Singleton could possibly see time in the majors is late 2012, and that's really pushing it (would require a massive breakout season and nothing standing in his way from Wallace/Hinze).
Keep in mind we could keep Singleton in the minors for 4 more full seasons and he could still only be 24 and still a prospect when called up. He's young enough that we have plenty of time to assess the situation with both Wallace and Hinze and figure out what to do with them.
If a trade is necessary a few years down the road, that's fine.

Shuck is coming up next for Astros. 294 average 390 OBP at triple A. Singleton is a very long range prospect. He is Wallace-like against left handers. Not much of a fielder either. Only reason Martinez passed Shuck up was because he has been great at all levels. And yes Hinz is next in line to put pressure on Wallace.

Mad Men: Season 3 (US - BD RA)
Gabe finally finishes re-watching the best season of the best show on television...
'I don't want to have a fight.'
'Then stop talking.'
The best show on television is back, and clichés be damned, it really is better than ever. Season three of Mad Men starts off more or less where the previous season left off – the Cuban Missile Crisis has been averted, Don Draper (John Hamm) has come back to Sterling Cooper in the midst of a British buy-out crisis, and Betty Draper (January Jones) is still pregnant. Season three starts at more of a crawl, and takes more time to dig in its heels than the second season did (season two featured a bit of a lull in the center when Don found himself lost in California). The first handful of episodes are a bit of a trudge to Betty's baby birth, and the actual birthing episode is not very good comparatively speaking (too often the characters are left saying what is usually left unsaid, and the normally subtle art direction errs towards the goofy). But once the production gets over that hump the narrative track is laid, and the plot charges forth, like the most subtle and graceful bullet train ever crafted. It's really unfortunate that new viewers can't possibly jump on the bandwagon here without being entirely lost, because season three is the most brisk, and all around eventful season yet. The cast and crew don't approach simplifying their complex, and multi-leveled styles, but there's a streamlined approach to every single episode (save the one), wherein not a single morsel is over or under valued. Even the lesser lead up episodes feature picture perfect parts
'Change isn't good or bad. It just is.'
The season theme is changes, and the changes are huge, all the way down to the finale, which is the first to end on a high note. Betty begins to see herself capable of living without Don following her father's death, while Don finds himself entirely uncovered for the first time in the series' history. Peggy continues her struggle for identity outside her family, briefly fashioning herself after Joan, who's marriage problems sideline her in the major narrative. Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) threatens to discover his identity, and his relationship with his wife finally settles. The only victim left at the wayside is Sal (Bryan Batt), who apparently will not be coming back for season four, which compounds the tragedy of his exit, which may be too tragic for even the dark show's own good. But the vast majority of these character arcs work very well. Considering the relatively brief time we've been with these people (less than 40 episodes total), the profound realism and momentum is practically unheard of, especially since the majority of the character defining moments are underplayed, and require reading a hundred layers of subtext.
The character changes are the forefront trimmings, but the historical backgrounds feature even more delectable changes. The '60s as history mostly defines there era are officially marching into the Mad Men world, and some of the characters are going to be devastated by the results. At the end of this season only two of the most defining moments of the era have occurred. We still have assassinations, Vietnam spiraling out of control, the British Invasion, Nixon's presidency, and a whole lot of flower children to look forward too in coming seasons. The impeding social changes subtly push focus towards the show's only fully formed child character, Sally Draper, who was a surprising standout in season three, both in terms of time spent with the character, and actress Kiernan Shipka's performance. Given the prop-like treatment of the Draper children in the first two seasons Sally's growth and arc is the shows second most stunning curve-ball, just behind the place our characters end up in the final episode.
'Have you been drinking?'
'The whole country is drinking!'
Last season ended with Peggy confronting Pete, and it was the highlight of the entire television year. This season features more than its share of similarly incendiary sequences (standalone sequences, not necessarily those that shock and awe from a plot standpoint). The first is Peggy barging in on the beatnik pot party, and proclaiming she wants to get high. The second sees Sal revealing way too much of himself to his wife. The third is the most notorious moment in the series' history, and involves a riding lawn mower taking a shot at a footfull of toes. The fourth comes while high society white ladies talk about equal rights while Carla (who, like Sally, finally grows into a real character this year) the quiet black maid toils in the background. The season finale features the most fist-pumpingly exciting moments (quite possibly the best heist flick I've seen in a decade), but Betty confronting Don upon finding proof of his past is probably the most moving 15 or so minutes of screen time in the collection. The realistically rendered performances, the restrained, precise editing, the release in terms of storytelling, and the Gordon Willis inspired visuals are all so immaculate they ache. Oh, and Christina Hendricks playing accordion and singing in French is no shrug either.
'With you or without you, I'm moving on. I don't know if I can do it without you. Will you help me?'
Once again Lionsgate and AMC provide a satisfying 1080p transfer, which is, to my eye, the best one yet. Stylistically speaking, season three is brighter, and more painterly than the previous seasons. Generally speaking each frame features more colour, and overall compositions more definitively recall René Magritte's most popular paintings, which I've suspected was a major visual inspiration from the beginning. This season also visually differentiates the sets and locations a little more implicitly. For example, the Draper house is often shot a little softer (sometimes dreamlike and almost foggy), with more amber warmth, while the office scenes are cooler, stiffer, and feature more popping elements (usually Joan's red dress). The good news continues. Details are unequivocally sharper on this collection when compared to the previous releases. The difference is noticeable enough that I wonder if the production changed cameras or something (I no longer have cable television, has AMC started showing stuff in 1080p?). Seasons one and two were worth the Blu-ray price for clarity, lack of compression, and general colour quality, but season three sees a sizable difference between the Blu-ray and DVD versions (the DVD being the spot I grabbed screen caps from). The overall contrast has not changed, Mad Men is still a very softly shadowed series, covered by even gradients, but the edges are crisp and clean. The focus is also pretty even-handed, aiming for a slightly shallow look, but there aren't many big close-ups, and even in wide shots minute production values are wonderful. The only nitpick I can really grasp here is the general hue of the flesh tones, which are a bit on the red side.
The Blu-ray's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track follows the new precedent set by the sharper video quality, and is generally a step up from the previous season releases. Things are still mostly low-key, centered, and dependant on dialogue over effects, but this time there's no denying the impact of all 5.1 channels. The buzz of the office is downplayed, but there are some pretty startlingly realistic stereo and surround elements, creating a very immersive feel on the track. The Draper household is a definitely more quiet than the rest of the Mad Men world, but the soft dialogue is occasionally made more real by the sounds of arguing children, a ringing phone, or the buzzing TV. The stereo and surround channels also get a decent workout away from the home and office in the form of airplane noise, a hotel fire, and that vicious lawn mower that roams around the office. David Carbonara's mellow and moving music is intricately rendered on the track, and is quite often the only sound during particularly dramatic moments. There isn't a lot to say concerning the LFE channel in terms of throb or punch, but the hum of the musical bass is warm, and plenty thick.
The extras once again start with a whole bunch of audio commentaries from the cast and crew. Some episodes feature more than one track. Instead of culling through the collection's commentaries episode by episode I've decided to take the easy way out and jump around throughout a second viewing (time is not on my side). Creator Matthew Weiner's tracks (often shared) are usually more about subtext, visual cues, and best of all, specific story and character points, which fans know are easy to miss. He and his directors and writers also specifically reference fan feedback, which creates that sense of interaction digital media has promised for years. When actors are involved Weiner overshadows them until you forget some of them are even there. The cast only tracks are more scattered, formless, and silly, but this is okay too, especially since we have Weiner's tracks to fall back on for information purposes.
Disc one also features ' Mad Men Illustrated' (13:50, HD) a look at Dyna Moe's internet-based faux-vintage illustrations, which are brilliant, and which were available as part of the Facebook advertising campaign. Learning that her approach to vector art is so similar to mine (minus Zen state) was particularly satisfying.
Disc two has a few more things to offer, starting with 'Clearing the Air: The History of Cigarette Advertising' (25:30, 20:00, SD), a two part featurette on, well, the history of cigarette advertising. This pair of mini-docs goes way back, covering the history of the cigarette as a thing, the technical innovations, the development of health concerns, the advertising's innovative effect on advertising on the whole, and the counter advertising. The disc also features 'Flashback 1963', an interactive photo gallery with 'play all' and 'interactive mode' options. Categories include car models, celebrity births, consumerism, cost of living, celebrity deaths, entertainment, inventions, politics, science, sports, technology, US events and World Events.
Disc three features the most substantial extra, 'Medgar Evers: An Unsung Hero', another two part featurette (39:00, 31:00, SD). I knew next to nothing about Evers, and I'm happy to say these featurettes fixed that problem. There aren't many stones left unturned concerning the sobering hardship of the Civil Rights movement, and Evers' brother, widow, and daughter are among the interviewees. My only complaint concerning the featurettes concerns the production values, which are a problem in terms of sound and image quality. 'We Shall Overcome' (16:40, HD) completes the extras with a look at the historic march on Washington that culminated with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous 'I Have a Dream' speech. Here the speech is set against a series of slides including images from the event, and pertaining documents.
So you still aren't watching Mad Men? I understand. It's certainly not a show for everyone. I know there are times I don't feel like participating with my television entertainment, and I understand multi-faceted, mysterious, and slowly reveled characters can be frustrating. Mad Men can be very demanding, requiring multiple viewings, and sometimes it even incites in-depth discussion among viewers. Like its lead character, Don Draper, the show shimmers with a smug, self-important veneer, and requires we dig beneath the skin to appreciate the layers. But did you know that Mad Men makes fun of you behind your back for 'not getting it'? That's right, it thinks it's better than you, and I heard it say so. Are you gonna let Mad Men get away with that? I certainly wouldn't. If I were you I'd get all three seasons and start again from the beginning, really study the series so you can tear it apart, and talk about its mother behind its back.

For me, this simply is the best tv show ever. John Hamm is great, the storylines are excellent and everyone of the parts is brilliantly casted.
Can`t get enough of it.
Oh, and January Jones just has to be the most beautiful woman on tv right now...

There's apparently as little chance for Sal to come back as for Number 24 to be alive again.

I got the first season on BD as a gift from my brother, who watches it with a religious fervor only second to Lost. But having plowed through it in 2 days, I'm not entirely sure I'd ever feel the urge to go back and watch it again the way I do with some of the stellar Lost episodes like The Constant or Ab Aeterno (if you're looking for transcendence, sir, look no further). I think that's mainly because I truly hated the majority of the subplots: Don's actual name and background, Peggy getting preggers, Joan's roommate... they all felt unnecessary for shock value. Also, I tend to only rewatch comedies rather than TV dramas (I bought the first season of Dexter and I haven't watched since the first go-round).
I just started Season 2 and I think I realize why I love the show but also why I'm so critical of its shortcomings: I work in marketing as a multimedia copywriter, so I'm inherently obsessed with the creative processes of the time. I think I'll be more forgiving as it goes on and I start to become more invested in the characters personally (although it's tough since basically every Man on the show is a douchebag).

Though yea, I love Lost, Dexter, BSG, etc...One of my favourite shows and also the best one I've seen (and also have it on my DVD collection) was The West Wing.
I agree that most shows have that selling point you speak of and most of the ones I own are like that, but I am not trying to trash the show or any of your tastes, I may try the show when I have less shows to watch at the moment, can't start watching ANOTHER one. :D

Yes, it comes off as goofy. It actually caused the smallest amount of Diet.Dr Pepper to escape via my nose. Damn you.
To me Lost just continues to tease without delivering in terms or emotion or story. It's entertaining, but it never transcends its basic serial premise. Mad Men rewards me just as much on a second viewing. I'm a whole season behind on Dexter because I don't get Showtime, so that may be my loss. And I actually prefer The Daily Show to Colbert. I certainly don't hate any of those shows though. The first person that mentions Heroes, however...
Had Venture Bros season 4 not been cut in half it may've actually been even more satisfying that Mad Men. It's certainly a good half-season.
Also, my final paragraph comes off as playful, not seriously assholeish, right?

Try explaining Lost...
I actually just finished the first season of Mad Men, and I love it. Best show on TV? Not with Lost, Dexter and The Colbert Report still on the air. But it certainly is deserving of the praise.

That is certainly an understandable viewpoint. When friends ask me what this show is about, and I explain it, they usually seem unimpressed. It sucks because the show has a lot to offer. It just doesn't have a snag (serial killer blood analyst!, suburban mom selling pot!) or a promise of exciting action that sucks in the general public. I find that it is much to the show's advantage though, as it has the freedom to progress as seen fit, and isn't confined by a catchy premise.
Dunno, I could never get into this show. the whole premise seems really dull to me
I'm hoping the no Sal news is a tease, and he's gonna show up as a surprise.
Can't get enough of this show. I'm really curious to see where things are going to go in Season 4 with this one ending on such an interesting note.
That really sucks about Sal. I didn't know until just now that he wasn't coming back for season 4 and I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see him at all in the last chunk of this season. It feels like a disservice to the show's viewers to watch him go out like that without much resolution, but at the same time that frustrating feeling is a testament to how well they portrayed his struggle and invested me in the character.
Also, I might be a bit sick, because I found the notorious lawn mower scene hilarious and (pray for me) rewound it a couple times.

Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic revels in Wimbledon win over Roger Federer
Willie Grace | 7/7/2014, 3:58 p.m. | Updated on 7/7/2014, 3:58 p.m.
It was, said Novak Djokovic, the highest level of grand slam tennis he had ever been involved in, an unquestionable highlight of his career.
No wonder after the Serb surpassed such luminaries as his head coach Boris Becker on the all-time list of grand slam winners with a seventh career title after edging Roger Federer for a second Wimbledon crown.
"It means a lot to me," Djokovic -- the newly crowned world No.1 -- told CNN after his 6-7 6-4 7-6 5-7 6-4 victory.
"No doubt this has been the highest level of a grand slam final that I was ever part of.
"I'm proud of the older achievements of my career. Before, the highlight of my career was the 2011 win at Wimbledon but this is even more special because of the fact I had lost five of the previous six grand slam finals.
"I've been through some tough moments privately and professionally."
In a pulsating final, neither player could be separated -- Djokovic seemingly in the ascendancy only to let slip a big advantage leading two sets to one and 5-2, before Federer broke back to force a fifth.
But as two of the defining forces of men's tennis traded blows in a match complete with 143 winners, it was Djokovic who emerged triumphant, putting him on a par with John McEnroe and Mats Wilander on the list of all-time grand slam winners.
A year ago, Andy Murray had blazed past Djokovic in three sets to win Wimbledon.
The Serb's chance of redemption went awry in the final of the subsequent grand slam, the US Open, this time to Rafael Nadal, who was again his vanquisher at last month's French Open final.
"The team has done great work to encourage me to keep on going, I've worked on myself in tennis and off the court to strengthen my mind and learn from the experiences and now it's all paying off," said Djokovic, reflecting on the psychological demons he has fought.
This was the first big win of his nascent relationship with Becker, a partnership that has raised a few eyebrows.
"It's a huge relief for both me and him and the whole team as there was a lot of pressure on us," added Djokovic.
"Since we started working there were a lot of doubts if we could win a grand slam with him as head coach, but we made it and we're going to try to embrace this win and enjoy it."
Djokovic's victory denied Federer an eighth Wimbledon title and 18th career grand slam title, leaving the Swiss without a grand glam win since 2012.
But Djokovic had words of consolation for his opponent.
"Roger proved why he is a 17-time grand slam champion and why he has been so successful and dominant in this sport for so many years because he knows exactly what challenges he's facing and what to play in important moments.
"He didn't drop his level much in the whole match so he didn't give me too many points but I had to earn everything that I had today and that's why I thought the level was tremendous and it makes the win even more special."

12 thoughts on "Keith's Special Comment – Powerful, Watch It!"
Kind of depressed to see where my nation may be headed. At age 71, I won't probably have to observe a total fascist takeover, but I have dozens of nephews/nieces, grands, and even a great-grand growing up now who may have to live in a fascist horror. Six billion people in the world can overcome our 300 million eventually. NYC looking like Dresden and Berlin in 1945 will make "Ground Zero" look irrelevant. The Kochs are becoming our Krupps family.
If corporate control of the state is a pillar of fascism – and it is – it's hard to imagine what could have pushed us faster in that direction than last January's decision by the Supreme Court in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission.
This why we gotta vote and vote in large enough numbers to offset the stupid vote,because these dumb easily led racist fucks are going to hand this country off to the corporations because they hate having a black man as president. Honestly outside that segment of stupid that makes up the tea party what makes normal people to view people like Sharron Angle, Ken Buck and Marco Rubio viable to serve?
Now these freaks want to get rid or privatize social security,medicaid,privatize the VA, get rid of department of education,limit abortions even if the girl is raped by a stranger or a male relative,tax cuts for their corporate sugar daddies that will add 4 trillion to the debt, going back to the health insurance companies dropping people for being sick,more corporate deregulation, from the recent actions of their supporters dissent is not allow, support for outsourcing and if there's anything I'm missing please let me know.
Like Keith said if we don't vote, we have no one to blame but ourselves and to those liberals who want to justify their non-vote protest with the idea "Well once people see how awful Sharron Angle is, they will vote her out".
we can no longer say that with Citizens United. Because as long the Sharron Angles of this class do what the corporations want them to do, they can avoid debates, avoid talking to the local media unless it's their local right wing radio talk show host and they can let their masters beat the shit of the Democrat that's running against them with their money bags.
The Atlanta Ralphs in this country got an excuse they're dumb but we don't get your ass out there and vote.
Great article in the Village Voice. Lawrence O'Donnell had a half dozen teabaggers on his "The Last Word" show tonight and even though they were against the perceived "socialism" of Obama couldn't define what it is nor were much able to come up with what government programs they would do away with. Most were really not very bright.
Surprising that O'Donnell gets so many right-wing guests. He also had Tom DeLay on as a guest. BTW, the jury has been selected in Austin and DeLay's big Texas trial begins on Monday. DeLay's attorney wanted an all-white jury and tried to remove 5 blacks who were eventually seated.
Agree totally with Grant but hopefully Tuesday we can reverse what has been done to America over the last four years. If we don't vote for change we could end up like Greece, France and other socialist countries who have determined that they cannot all of the "entitlement" programs and people need to contribute and not just take.
Good for you Grant for finally seeing what the American Dream means and to worry about the future of your nephews and nieces if this country stays on this track and goes broke.
If these sick bastards that make up the Republican tea party candidates win they will do whatever their corporate pimps tell them to do. What these nuts that make everyday tea baggers don't get the programs they benefit from will be on the chopping block too. What should make everyone that's normal worry these loons could actually impact social advancement while jerking off the guys that brought their seats.
Two of the most socialist of nations, Denmark and Finland, where everyone pays half of their income in taxes also have the happiest citizens on Earth now according to surveys. The socialist Baltic nations are at the top in education (free from nursery school to a PhD) where the USA has slipped to the mid-20's rank. They also have "least corrupt government" (where the USA ranks 21st). Germany, also quite socialist compared to the USA, has a strong economy because they don't outsource much and actually make hard goods like the top-rated automobiles in the World, heavy machinery, medical instruments like X-ray, MRI, CAT equipment, optics, etc.
The other night I had a can of sliced Fuji apples and reading the calories noticed it was "made in China". Then going to bed, brushing my teeth, noticed the Johnson & Johnson wood toothpick-like Stimu-dents, and my Crest Glide dental floss were also "made in China". Can't we make ANYTHING here anymore?
I am hoping the "talking heads" who have been forecasting a REICH-wing takeover (controversey helps ratings!) are wrong. Love his poll from the New York Daily News which shows most Americans are sane…at least in New York:
this is how the next 4 years will play out:
Here is the link for "least corrupt" "most corrupt" nations. Notice that the top ten "least" were New Zealand, Denmark, Singapore, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland and Norway….a pretty socialist group!
formula your crystal ball is fatally flawed by beliefs and are a far cry from a reality. In short that's completely guess work and may or may not happen.

The U.S. Treasury Department said Friday that it has launched a public offering of $5 billion of its American International Group common stock.
The move represents another step for the Treasury toward unwinding its position in the financial crisis bailout programs.
The insurer , which received a total of $182 billion from the government during the crisis, intends to buy up to $3 billion of the offering at the initial public offering price, Treasury said in a statement.
Treasury currently holds a 61 percent stake in AIG.
AIG's shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, were halted ahead of the Treasury's announcement.
Citigroup Global Markets, Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Securities have been retained as joint bookrunners. Other underwriters are expected to be added.
The offering's underwriters will have a 30-day option to purchase as much as an additional $675 million in stock from the Treasury.
The announcement comes one day after AIG reported earningsthat were more than twice what Wall Street had been expecting as tax benefits boosted results and operating income grew across the company's varied insurance businesses.
