First, many doctors confuse Bellafill with two older fillers, Artecol and Arteplast, which were only available in Europe and had a high rate of problems. To keep us safe, the FDA never allowed Artecol or Arteplast into the U.S.
While the Bellafill crystal, which stimulates collagen, is derived from a similar material as Artecol, Bellafill has a very different formulation and is, thus, a completely different product. Unlike the primitive european products, Bellafill has a smaller particle size, is much more uniform in size and has a positive charge between surrounding particles to keep it evenly suspended during injection. These major technological advances in product formulation are the reason why Bellafill has been scientifically shown to last 5 years, based on the more than 1000-patient FDA study. It is also why Bellafill has a much more predictable collagen stimulatory response, unlike the filler, Sculptra, with its less reliable outcome. Most important, Bellafill's unique formulation gives it a high safety profile similar to that of Juvederm and Restylane.
Another reason why many doctors don't advocate Bellafill, the 5-year filler, is that long-term injectable fillers require much greater injector skill. With so many doctors (without plastic surgery backgrounds) and non-doctors taking weekend training courses to learn about fillers, consumers have more injector choices. When a less-skilled injector makes an error, it's easy to tell the patient that a temporary filler with go away in a year or two.
A third reason is that Bellafill is a volumization filler for deeper lines or grooves, facial hollows as well as for sagging brows and droopy mouth corners. Unlike the 2-dimensional filling of fine lines, facial volumization requires a 3-dimensional understanding of facial aesthetics. Volumization fillers are placed deeper in the tissues, requiring more detailed knowledge of the complex facial anatomy of nerves, vessels and muscles, in order to optimize results and minimize complications.
Seeking a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who is not only skilled in surgery of the face and neck, but is also an expert injector of Bellafill should be the first step in enhancing your chances of a natural, refreshed and satisfying result.

Xviewer lets you transfer files between the DL(M) series instruments and a PC, and gives you remote control of the instruments using your PC. Xviewer enables online and offline waveform display, computation, and analysis of data captured using Yokogawa's WE7000 series of PC-based measurement instruments.Free version, XviewerLITE is also available.
Xviewer is a PC software application designed to work with Yokogawa DL series digital oscilloscopes and ScopeCorders. It allows you to display acquired waveform data, perform file transfer, and control DL series instruments remotely. In addition to simply displaying the waveform data, Xviewer features many of the same functions that the DL series instruments offer; zoom display, cursor measurements, calculations of waveform parameters, and perform complex waveform math. Using Xviewer binary waveform data can easily be converted to CSV, Excel or Floating Point Decimal fomat.
Additionally, Xviewer can also be used to display and analyze waveform files captured using Yokogawa's WE7000 or SL1000 high-speed data acquisition hardware.
Xviewer's zoom function works in the same manner as that on the DL instruments; displaying the entire waveform and a zoomed subset of the waveform simultaneously. The waveform can be horizontally and vertically zoomed. Even large amounts of waveform data (More than 2GP with the DL850) can be viewed quickly. The zoom window can be automatically scrolled (with variable direction and speed).
Comments can be added as needed, in any position, on the waveform viewer window. All comments, plus the waveform(s) can be printed as displayed.
Using the DL series instrument's history memory, you can arrange and display thumbnails of multiple acquired waveforms. The selected waveforms are expanded and displayed in the Main screen; multiple waveforms can also be superimposed.
Using cursors, you can display the measured values at the points where the cursors intersect the waveform. There are three types of cursors available: horizontal, vertical, and X-Y. If two cursors are displayed, the difference between the them can be calculated and displayed.
Up to 32 math waveforms based on the displayed waveform data can be calculated and displayed. In addition to simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, user-defined equations can be created using a large number of functions including: trigonometry, differentiation/integration, pulse width computation, and six types of FFT calculations. FFT analysis using up to 2M data points can be performed, and a wide variety of functions are available for frequency domain calculations such as power spectrum and transfer functions (amplitude and phase). Digital filtering (low pass, high pass, band pass) calculations for noise rejection and other applications are also included.
Frequency domain waveforms are displayed in a dedicated FFT viewer window.
Parameters (characteristics) of the displayed waveforms can be automatically calculated and displayed. Up to twenty-six parameters can be selected. Calculation of the selected parameters is performed automatically and the measured results are displayed in a list (as shown on the left).
The results of these calculations can be saved in a CSV file.
Cycle Statistics and History Statistics functions, which are both available in DL series instruments, can also be available in Xviewer when the software version is 1.70 or later. A histogram of statistical result(s) can be displayed as well. The statistical result(s) can be saved in a .csv file.
Waveform data files in binary format (useful for data transfer because of their smaller size) can be converted to ASCII, Excel or Floating Point Decimal format and then opened using a spreadsheet program. It also can be converted into MATLAB(*.MAT) format file, then it can be imported into MATLAB.
MATLAB is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc. in the United States.
A report can be made using displayed waveforms, cursor values, parameter measurement results and any text data. Five(5) kinds of report files (samples) are provided by default. These samples can be edited freely, or you can arrange your-original report as well.
Xviewer supports Ethernet, USB and GP-IB interfaces, allowing you to control DL series* instruments using the PC on which Xviewer is installed. A virtual image of the screen and front panel of the DL that Xviewer is connected to is displayed on the PC. You can perform operations remotely by using your PC's mouse to "click" keys on the virtual screen as if you were pressing the actual keys on the DL.
You can perform file transfers between a DL series * instrument and the PC on which the software is installed, via Ethernet, USB or GP-IB. When you connect with the DL, Xviewer displays a list of files residing on the DL. You can select files from the list for download to the PC.
The following option functions are available. This option satisfies your needs for auxiliary functions that the DL850 series main unit alone cannot provide.
This option consists of the following tools.
If an abnormality occurs during a long duration continuous test, you can analyze the saved measured data without having to stop measurement!
File merging Multi-number of DL850 series data files divided in time or channel order can be merged into a single file.
File dividing A large(long) recorded data file can be divided into multi-small files. It can be equally divided or any portion can be extracted and resaved. It helps you to handle the data file easily.
Converting formats Binary data file(s) recorded by DL850 series can be converted into a CSV or floating format which can be imported into MATLAB.
Online file transfer and Remote Instrument Control are not possible with the DL1700 and WE7000.
The DLM2000 series firmware version 1.08 or later is required.
Please use the latest version of the instrument's firmware.
Parameters: Max. 28 items such as P-P, Amp, RMS and Freq.

I just got a new 1050ti and a 500w PSU. The PSU came in first and was working fine, the GPU came the second day.
After installing the GPU the monitor wouldn't work but I could see the orange light on it. I've tried updating the bios and everything but nothing is working. Please help.
Also which 500W PSU did you have?
After you try that, if you still have problem, nothing you can do, return the GPU, the problem is the incompatibility, if the PSU is good for the gtx1050ti.
Make sure the 1050 is enabled in device manager.
[SOLVED] Does GPU have Male or Female DVI port? Please explain.

One stone to hit physical & financial wealth right on point.
Let us assume that we enrol at a gym very enthusiastically to cause dramatic changes in our physical well being. Showing up at the at the gym at 7 am every morning which itself might be a noteworthy feat for many and is working out.
What is the purpose of going to the gym every day? Lose weight? Gain weight? Just remain fit? Build a better mental wellbeing? Socialising? Unless we define the objective of going to the gym, we won't be able to fit the right work out for ourselves and might become slaves to peer pressure or whatever we are told to do or watch and do.
Much like our physical well being, financial wellbeing is also treated the same way, where we make ad hoc investments with the purpose of keeping the money away, however, without a plan around it.
Like all fitness enthusiasts would vouch, no effort can manifest into success unless there's a goal attached to it. Investing without a goal is like running in circles without really reaching any place. However, goal-setting is the easy bit – all of us have and can think of a goal.
Here's the tricky bit, the key to progress is discipline, to revisit this plan often enough to know If we are headed in the right direction and make all possible efforts to keep going.
Successful investing is hard. Not complicated, just hard. It's hard because for the most part, we are wired to keep shifting focus on the next shiny object and react to minor events & news. It is important to stay the course. However, that comes into the picture only after we have set the foundation. To repeatedly do the right thing towards your investments is bound to yield successful results.
Carl Richards couldn't have said it better, to just consistently build your savings and relax.
There is no rocket science involved in the investment below, just the simplicity of defining a goal, choosing a systematic investment as plan to invest and repeating this over the next 20 years.
A disciplined investment of at least INR 10,000 per month can yield you a mini-fortune when you need it the most. Sure, it may be difficult now, but with your income increased year over year, the amount you commit now will continue to diminish as a fraction of your income.
With real determination, if you step-up your investment in line with income increments, the result is bound to astonish you.
You are the master of your investments and should certainly ensure that you sail them through all the storms that might arise.


In the New Testament, the Gospels record the events of Jesus' last week on earth. It began with what we now call Palm Sunday and concludes with the celebration of His resurrection, Easter. We have made adjustments to our regularly scheduled programming to take time to honor and celebrate the biblical events of Holy Week.
Sunday, April 14th – Palm Sunday – During our 9am worship service we will remember how Jesus entered Jerusalem to cheers and the waving of palm branches.
Wednesday, April 17th – Seder Dinner – A Seder meal is the ceremonial feast that commemorates the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. This is also the meal Jesus ate with his disciples hours before his arrest and crucifixion. It was during this meal that Jesus gave the instructions for how we celebrate communion today. We will be led in this meal by Rabbi Barney Kasden of the Kehliat Ariel Messianic Synagogue in Clairemont. Rabbi Barney will help us to understand the Seder elements, their symbolism and its significance for believers. Tickets are $5/person.
Friday, April 19th – "Journey To The Cross" – This is a self-guided prayer experience through several stations set up to help you focus specifically on the significance of Jesus' death on the cross. It will be open 10am – 8pm.
Sunday, April 21st – Easter Sunday at 9am – THIS is what it is all about! We will celebrate the hope and forgiveness we have because Jesus rose from the dead. We will have a beautiful floral cross, programs for the kids and a time of socializing and snacking after the service!


While the concept of a circular economy is gaining momentum in Europe, the Confederation of European Papermaking Industries (CEPI) is concerned about the European Commission's recent withdrawal of proposed legislation that would have entrenched the approach to waste management in the continent.
In an open letter addressed to European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, CEPI expressed its deep misgivings with the recent decision to back away from a legislative proposal on the circular economy, despite the Commission's declaration that it intends to revisit the package in the hopes of revising and strengthening it.
"The creation of a circular economy is critical, as it is the foundation for the economic growth and global competitiveness that you seek to bring to the European Union," CEPI members, in collaboration with other industry representatives, appeal in their letter. "Waste legislation is a critical cog in the wheel of a circular economy and the current legislative deadline for its revision provides a golden opportunity to bring in the clarification and harmonisation which has been lacking. Member States look to the European Commission to provide coordinated policies, continuity and the legal certainty which is crucial to long-term planning. If there is too much delay in the re-tabling of a revised waste legislative package and direction towards a circular economy, this will send the wrong signals to Member States, both undermining existing and recent investments as well as stalling plans."
The circular economy is an approach to the use of resources that emphasizes their maximum lifecycle, extracting the most value from those resources while they are in use, and then recovering what is left of those same resources at the end of their service life, in order to regenerate and renew what is left of those resources, into the fabrication of new products. The approach emphasizes reductions in waste and the environmental impacts of consumption and production, and an increase in resource productivity. The circular economy has been considered by some industry experts the answer to at least some of Europe's economic challenges, a belief that only worsened the blow of the Commission's decision to withdraw the legislative proposal, if only temporarily.
In the interim, CEPI notes its commitment to the circular cause and pledged the support of each of the open letter's signatories to working alongside the Commission during the stakeholder consultation process in the hopes of moving the legislative package along. Though, with the recent declarations of triumph by some finance ministers at the success of quantitative easing in response to Europe's economic woes, a skeptic might ponder if priorities are for the time being, focused elsewhere.

I worked as a medical staff but I shared virtually in many battles that took place from north to south of Iraq, the more important battle is the liberation war of the Faw-district recovering again to the Iraqi authority from Persians in 1988, closely I saw all of the taken place battles there.
If only our military leaders ordered us to overwhelm Abadan in that time, we should went across the Shatt- al-Arab instantly and should overcame on it in less than one day due to the huge Iraqi forces I witnessed there on one hand and the high enthusiasm I saw on the Iraqi soldiers' faces on the other hand.
We ended the eight years of the bloody war, as a triumphant military deserves the victor.
After the war got its end, the American leadership began to impose the economy- blockage upon Iraq; this boycott began of course before the first-gulf war against the invasion of Iraq to al-Kuwait in 1991.
The thing that annoyed and overcame upon Iraqis' morales too much is the economic factor and sorrowfully all Arab leaders went with America on this side.
However, the reasons and excuses of the US-administration how to invade Iraq in 2003 are worthy to be mentioned or unworthy to be mentioned is not the subject I want to deal with but the significant matter I want to focus on is the aftermath of what America declared in achieving progress for Iraqi nation.
The most important thing that America excused its invasion to Iraq is to investigate the democracy for Iraqi people.
Therefore, I am going to focus on this lame democracy.
1- What is the benefit of democracy if half of the nation is under the line of poverty?
2- What is the benefit of the democracy notion if the sectarianism is consolidated in the country after America invaded Iraq?
3- What is the benefit of democracy if the bloodshed covered out streets?
4- How can we satisfy ourselves in this lame democracy while many youths of us are suffering from unemployment?
5- How can we satisfy in this democracy while the elections are full of with forgery?
6- To which extent are we satisfied in this democracy if we are divided after we were united before the America occupation to Iraq?
I think the excuse of America invasion to Iraq is null and dull; however, the cause is, because the latest pretext America sticks in is its lame democracy that America claims boastfully.
Before I get replies from others let me answer the reason of the democracy failure to say that some of reasons are put up with the Iraqi politicians' shoulders but the main reason is on America.

Marny Finally Gets A Feyguard Book
Posted on January 15, 2016 January 15, 2016 by Amethyst
If you've been following my reviews of indie YA author Anthea Sharp's Feyland and Feyguard books, you might remember this aside from my review of Royal:
Marny continues to be everything. I really hope she gets her own Feyguard book complete with a worthy love interest, because she's one of my favorite things about this series. Although one of the best things about her is that she's happy and confident without a boyfriend, I want to see someone love Marny as much as she loves herself.
Well, dreams do come true! Now that the holiday madness has died down, I am happy to bring you a review of the third Feyguard book, Marny. (Disclosure: Anthea sent me a free advance review copy, which I was not able to follow up on nearly as soon as I'd hoped.)

The Unauthorized Review of The Unauthorized Full House Story
Posted on August 23, 2015 August 24, 2015 by Amethyst
I totally didn't mean to take the summer off from blogging. Life got busy, and when I did have time to write, I picked novel-drafting over blogging. But, the comedy gods have summoned me back to my blog with a cheesy TV movie about a cheesy TV show from my childhood.
Pictured: Not my old familiar friends.
I'll be doing a "first impressions" style post like the one I did on Jem and the Holograms. Unlike with Jem, I am quite familiar with Full House. I watched it regularly back when the TGIF lineup was a new thing. I was young enough then (the same age as Stephanie Tanner) to find it legitimately entertaining. Nearly twenty years later, I binge-watched the whole series on TV Land while I was sick in bed. It brought back happy memories and gave me a lot of good laughs (at what my grade-school self had found legitimately entertaining). Today, I find myself looking forward to the Netflix release of Fuller House, half because I hope it'll have as much unintentional comedy as its predecessor, and half because I'm sincerely looking forward to the nostalgia of predictability, the milkman, the paperboy, and evening TV.
In the meantime, my thoughts on this unauthorized portrayal of my old familiar friends is waiting just around the bend. Continue reading "The Unauthorized Review of The Unauthorized Full House Story" →
About the Black Widow thing in Age of Ultron
Posted on May 16, 2015 May 17, 2015 by Amethyst
Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Avengers: Age of Ultron. Proceed at your own risk.
"Widow," by deviantART user alicexz
So, there's been some controversy about Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff's backstory, specifically that her Brainwashed Soviet-Ish Killing Machine training was concluded with a routine sterilization and she feels un-good about this. As for the scene itself, I don't see how it's being framed as a gendered issue. Bruce Banner has already told Natasha about his own infertility, and they're having the discussion in the first place because they're seeing the family life that their male friend has deliberately created and likely gone through an insane amount of effort to keep.
However, other bloggers have already done a great job analyzing the scene and the overall movie, so I'm not going to spend much time on that. Instead, I'm going to talk about my experience as a medically sterilized woman. Continue reading "About the Black Widow thing in Age of Ultron" →
Jem and the Holograms: My First Time
Like the rest of the internet, I have now seen the trailer for the new Jem and the Holograms movie. It looks like a painfully cliched made-for-TV band flick written to reassure its young audience that they'd hate being rich and famous. As to how it compares to the original cartoon, I can't say.
I've never watched it.
I KNOW, RIGHT??? I love 80's pop culture, 80's pop music, cartoons, and over-the-top pink girly glitter, and my name is a gem, so Jem and the Holograms seems like it should be an obvious win for me. I don't remember ever being aware of it when it was on originally. I saw commercials for the dolls, but I thought they were knockoffs of Barbie and the Rockers. I've known for awhile that Jem is on Netflix and that there's a new movie in the works, but haven't taken the time to check it out.
Well, luckily for you, dear readers, I am sick and insomniac, so I am embarking on an all-night binge watch. I'll be writing random impressions below the cut as I watch each episode. Here goes! Continue reading "Jem and the Holograms: My First Time" →
Netflix's Marvel's Daredevil
Posted on April 26, 2015 April 26, 2015 by Amethyst
I want to preface this review by saying I know virtually nothing about Daredevil lore. I know there's Daredevil and he's blind and lives in Hell's Kitchen and his girlfriend is Sydney Bristow whose alias is Elektra and that's pretty much it. I never saw the Ben Affleck movie. All my knowledge thereof comes from riff reviews like this one.
But, like billions of other nerdy pop culture consumers, I'm loving the new Marvel era, and I've enjoyed several of Netflix's original series, so I had high hopes for this one. My hopes have been rewarded.
Our hero, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), is indeed a blind man headquartered in Hell's Kitchen. He protects his innocent neighbors as a defense lawyer by day, and masked vigilante by night. He's the son of a boxer who supported his family by taking falls in the ring. It's every bit as noir as it sounds, and yet the show still injects just the right amount of optimism and levity to keep from feeling overwhelmingly bleak.
Murdock's blindness is handled pretty well, imo. The same accident that took away his sight heightened his other senses, which is how he's able to pull off his vigilante stunts. The scenes highlighting his superpowers do a great job of showing that he's relying on senses other than sight. The staging and effects let us inside Murdock's head where we feel him focus on the sound of a faraway cry for help, or the vibration of an attacker's footfalls. Yet his lack of sight still comes across as a legitimate handicap; something that, as a disabled viewer, I feel is important to acknowledge in-story.
As of the second episode, Team Daredevil includes Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), Murdock's pragmatically materialistic law partner; Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), Murdock's former client and current office manager who I've since learned is a canon love interest; and Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), a Night Nurse who saves Murdock when he's injured in a vigilante mission. Everyone in the cast inhabits their roles perfectly, and there's a strong chemistry between the characters.
So far I only have one nitpick with the show. In a scene in the pilot where Murdock and Foggy are interrogating Karen Page, Murdock concludes that Karen's improbable story is true because he hears her heart rate remain slow and steady while she's telling it. In this scene, she's also traumatized, stressed, crying, and in emotional and physical pain. It strikes me as totally reasonable for a person under those circumstances to have an elevated or irregular heart rate even if they were telling the truth, especially if they were stressed about being accused of lying. In real life, lie detection technology isn't considered 100% reliable for exactly these reasons.
However, one problem with one scene isn't enough to keep me from enjoying this show. If you're a fan of the Daredevil comics, I don't know what to tell you, but if you're a fan of film noir, TV crime dramas, and the new Marvel cinematic universe, you should definitely check this out. All 13 episodes are currently streaming on Netflix. Here's hoping life and my internet connection will finally let me binge-watch the rest of them.
Olympus: Green Screen, Red Corn Syrup, And Blue Feet
Posted on April 6, 2015 April 6, 2015 by Amethyst
Hey, did you know Syfy has a new drama set in mythological Greece? No? Me neither, until my parents texted me while they were watching WWE on Thursday night and said I'd probably like this Olympus show that's coming on afterward. I'm glad they did, because I had a great time watching the pilot, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
This post's title is an accurate description of the show's production value. (As an indie author, I know all too well how much people LOVE sinking money into weird Greek mythology adaptations.) It's tempting to throw Olympus into the "so bad it's good" category, where I lovingly store many of my favorites, but the female lead and the villainess make this show unironically fun to watch. The Oracle of Gaia, played by Sonya Cassidy (whom BBC fans may recognize as Clara from The Paradise), has divine visions that don't always come when she needs them to, so she's learned to appease her petitioners by becoming a master of deduction. This, imo, should be the entire premise of the show. I have dubbed The Oracle #GreekSherlock. She's resourceful, rational, dramatic, and prone to complicated schemes that can snowball into something way more complicated than she foresaw (damn uncontrollable visions).
And somehow, #GreekSherlock is not our designated hero. That role falls to our male lead known only as Hero – or Mercenary, or You There, or whatever the other characters decide to call him, since saying his name aloud will turn the speaker to stone. He has an intricate backstory that literally makes him the MacGuffin. He gets his feet painted blue for reasons that still aren't entirely clear to me. He's a valiant warrior who can kill people with rope. Ultimately, though, he's there to be eye candy (a role newcomer Tom York fills quite well) while #GreekSherlock steals the show. So basically he's a Moffat woman.
But the biggest show-stealer of them all is Olympus' Big Bad, Medea (played by Sonita Henry). She's resourceful, rational, dramatic, and prone to complicated schemes that she's usually completely on top of unless Fate throws her for a loop. As the evil personality counterpoint to #GreekSherlock, I have dubbed her #GreekMoriarty. (Except Hero is her ostensible nemesis, so I have no idea if she and #GreekSherlock will ever officially acknowledge each other.) Medea's portrayal goes beyond pure camp, although there's plenty of that. She comes across as clever, in control, and legitimately dangerous. And (SPOILER?) it looks like she has designs on goddesshood. I sort of want to see that.
I think there were a bunch of other people, too. But as far as I was concerned, it was all about #GreekSherlock and #GreekMoriarty.
So, anyway, if you're looking for Game of Greek Thrones, you're not going to find it here, but if you miss Xena and Hercules, you'll have as much fun with Olympus as I did. Check it out on Syfy on Thursday nights at 10/9 Central, or stream full episodes here.
Tangled Woods
I saw Into the Woods last night. It was incredible. I was already a huge fan of the original musical, and while there were a few incidental changes, the movie did an excellent job of portraying the characters and exploring the complex, abstract themes in Sondheim's original.
I could write a whole book on those themes and the way Into the Woods explores them. Maybe this'll turn into a series of posts, or maybe I'll get distracted by the weekend and never touch the subject again. Who knows. But anyway, the aspect of Into the Woods that I want to talk about in this post is how Into the Woods compares and contrasts to another Disney favorite of mine, Tangled. SPOILERS for both are ahead.

Into the Woods' Rapunzel arc and Tangled both tell the story of a young woman who's spent her life hidden away from the world by a singing witch inspired by Bernadette Peters. Continue reading "Tangled Woods" →
Agent Carter: Can I be her already?
Posted on January 11, 2015 by Amethyst
You remember Agent Peggy Carter from the Captain America movies, right? And you know ABC gave her her own miniseries and scheduled it during Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s winter break, right? And you saw its two-episode premiere last Tuesday because all of my readers live in the US and structure their lives around TV schedules, right? What??? OMG you aren't hooked on Agent Carter yet??? Well, read on! I promise this won't be too spoilery.
My biggest question about Agent Carter was whether it would feel more like a spin-off of the Captain America movies or the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series. The answer is both and neither. Like any of the individual series under the Avengers umbrella, Agent Carter draws from the franchise as a whole, but maintains its own distinct feel. And if you like a 1940's aesthetic with a James Bond storyline, that feel is pretty freakin' awesome.
One of my favorite things about Agent Carter is how it lets Peggy fill the Bond role while looking like a Bond girl. There are times when Peggy switches out her skirt suit for a pair of slacks, but she's always got her perfectly-coiffed curls and her signature red lipstick. Do I think any of this should be a social requirement for real women in the real world like it was in days of yore? No and no. Is it how my fantasy self would be attired in my self-insert pulp fanfic? So very much yes.
Peggy's aesthetic suits her character, imo, because it's one that requires a lot of effort, skill, and control; all traits we see her display in the field. Peggy is always in charge of whatever situation she's in, whether her superiors realize it or not. Tell her to bring coffee, and she'll gather all the intel from your top-secret meeting. Give her a sick day for "ladies' problems" and she'll work that case and find the MacGuffin in a disguise that has all her spy colleagues fooled.
Every good comic book hero needs a sidekick, and Peggy's will be familiar to Iron Man fans: Howard Stark's butler, Jarvis (not to be confused with Tony Stark's computer system). There's no will-they-or-won't-they tension between this dynamic duo, as Peggy isn't over Steve Rogers, and Jarvis is steadfastly devoted to his unseen wife. Clearly he knows Mrs. Jarvis is the greatest good he's ever going to get. Jarvis' deadpan insistence on providing hero support is a perfect foil to Peggy's obligatory insistence that she doesn't need it.

Well, "obligatory" isn't quite fair, since Peggy's adamant independence is more than justified in-universe. She works in an environment where she has to prove herself twice as good as her male colleagues to earn half the respect. Jarvis recognizes this, and when he informs Peggy that he's there to stay, he makes a point of saying that all heroes, whether male or female, need support, just like Captain America did when Peggy and Stark were providing it for him.
Which, imo, sums up the best thing about Agent Carter. In the first Captain America movie, I really wanted to love Peggy, but I mostly felt like she was an under-utilized character with great potential. For all her informed awesomeness, she was essentially just The Love Interest. The faded photograph that the real hero looked to for inspiration. In Agent Carter, their roles are reversed. Now Steve Rogers is the faded photograph, and Agent Peggy Carter is the lone hero in red, white, and blue.
And pumps, nylons, and red lipstick.
Agent Carter airs on ABC on Tuesday night at 9pm/8pm Central. You can watch full episodes online at ABC.com.
How I Met Your Avatar: The Legend of Korra Series Finale
Posted on December 22, 2014 December 22, 2014 by Amethyst
SPOILER Warning: This blog post is all about the Legend of Korra series finale and is full of SPOILERS. Don't read this post if you don't want SPOILERS. Here's something else you can read – my fangirly post that I wrote in anticipation of Season 3.
"Korra" by deviantART user taratjah
Okay, so. If you've been anywhere near Tumblr this weekend, you know that the infamous Korra/Mako/Asami triangle was resolved with Korra being on friendly terms with her ex-boyfriend Mako and…going off on a romantic vacation with his ex-girlfriend, Asami. #Korrasami is canon. The Legend of Korra ended the same way as The Last Airbender – the Avatar gets the girl. Or the girl gets the Avatar. Or something. However you want to put it, The Legend of Korra began with teenage Korra in love with a boy and ended with adult Korra in love with a woman.
There are enough bloggers talking about what a great thing this is for bi representation. All I'll say on that is ZOMG THIS IS AWESOME FOR BI REPRESENTATION!!!! But beyond that, what really struck me about the way The Legend of Korra ended is that it gave us the story that How I Met Your Mother promised and didn't deliver. Korra finds True Love, loses True Love for completely legitimate reasons, regains a genuine friendship with her ex-True Love, and finds True Love again in the end. Like I said in my review of the How I Met Your Mother finale, you almost never see this in television. Either the first love turns out to not really be love, or the first love is the only possible TRUE love and you can never really get over them or be as in love with someone else.
Image via SpoilersGuide.com
The Legend of Korra didn't go either of these predictable routes. Korra was undeniably in love with Mako in the first season. In her own words, she felt like they were meant for each other. And, because I dearly love Korra and want her to have everything she wants, I was completely on-board the Good Ship Makorra. (Seriously, after the Season 2 finale, I was playing "Set Fire To The Rain" on a loop.)
Then Season 3 started. Cue post-breakup awkwardness with Mako. But through the awkwardness, it never went into "I never want to see you again" territory on one hand or "I'm secretly trying to get back together with you because I could never possibly love anyone else" territory on the other. And meanwhile, here's Asami displaying no lingering feelings for Mako whatsoever and flirting up a storm with Korra, and Korra seeming remarkably okay with that. Season 3 ended with all three points of this forgotten triangle totally single and in no hurry (or condition, in Korra's case) to change that.
Season 4 revealed that Korra, Mako, and Asami had all been single for the three years between seasons. Mako and Korra affirm to other people that, by the end of Season 3, they'd come to think of each other as friends. In the finale, they affirm this to each other. They share a beautiful scene near the end as two people who sincerely respect and care for each other. But neither one moves toward making their relationship more than that, and I, a die-hard Makorra shipper for the first two seasons, didn't sense regret on either side.
Then, in a scene mirroring Avatar Aang's happy ending with his future wife Katara, Avatar Korra gets her happy ending taking the hands and gazing into the eyes of her second True Love. Balance has been restored. A children's show has given us one of the most mature, adult romantic storylines in modern television. That beauteous rarity known as an emotionally satisfying series finale has been achieved. All is right with the world.
In my opinion, The Legend of Korra succeeded where How I Met Your Mother failed because Korra's showrunners could acknowledge that their characters had evolved beyond their original vision. The first season of The Legend of Korra was supposed to be a stand-alone miniseries, so obviously Korra and Mako were originally meant to be together. But, like Ted and Robin, Korra and Mako evolved. Barney Stinson and Asami Sato evolved, too (man, I never thought I would name those characters in the same sentence). I applaud the Avatar creators for letting Korra's new relationship with Asami follow this path. Seeing these two walk off into the sunset together was, in Korra's words, "perfect."

The Librarians: My Sunday Nights Are Booked
Posted on December 7, 2014 by Amethyst
The Librarians premiered on TNT last night. It's a spin-off of The Librarian, a series of TV movies that TNT launched ten years ago. I've seen and enjoyed all the movies, and I think I may like the new show even better. Whether or not you should watch this series depends entirely on your psychological response to the following phrase:
Ninjas in Oklahoma.
Cast of The Librarians: John Kim as Ezekiel Jones, Noah Wyle as Flynn Carsen, Rebecca Romijn as Eve Baird, Christian Kane as Jake Stone, and Lindy Booth as Cassandra Cillian.
Okay, still reading? Do you miss Warehouse 13? Then you should watch The Librarians, because The Library is pretty much exactly The Warehouse. Seriously. It's a mystical archive run by a secret organization tasked with housing magical artifacts that can't fall into the hands of the general public. Do you miss Leverage? Then you should watch The Librarians, because it's executively produced by Dean Devlin and it features Christian Kane as part of a quirky ensemble cast of adventurers.
The comparisons don't end there. The Librarians is every bit as fun, light-hearted, and imaginative as the aforementioned dearly departed dramas. It requires as much suspension of disbelief and tolerance of cheesy special effects and props. As with its feature-length predecessors, The Librarians knows exactly what it is and makes the most of it. It doesn't try to be dark and edgy, nor does it go far enough in the other direction to become a self-parody. It's dumb in a smart way.
The cast is likable and fun to watch. Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn), aka The Guardian, is a great foil for recurring Librarian Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle). She's also believable as the group's designated muscle, a role not falling to Christian Kane this time around. As Jake Stone, he's more of the brain, a humanities scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of art history and world literature. Well, Stone is half the brain. He's the right hemisphere to Cassandra Cillian's (Lindy Booth) left. Cassandra's synesthesia gifts her with almost superhuman mathematical and spatial abilities. The ensemble is completed by Ezekiel Jones (John Kim), a snarky Brit who can breach any security system and evade any trap.
If I have any complaint about The Librarians, it's Cassandra's inoperable brain tumor. It's the explanation for her synesthesia, but it's an unnecessary one. I know people who were born with synesthesia in real life. I'm hoping this arc doesn't become a source of needless drama and tragedy in an otherwise feel-good show.
I can't end this post without mentioning the appearance of TV comedy legends Bob Newhart, Jane Curtin, and John Larroquette. Newhart and Curtin's roles were brief reprises from the Librarian movies. Laroquette, a series regular, plays Jenkins, the caretaker who'll be mentoring the Librarians In Training (LITs) in Carsen's absence.
The Librarians airs Sunday nights on TNT at 8pm/7pm Central. Check it out if you like quirky ensemble dramedies, myth and magic, and ninjas in Oklahoma.

Russell C. Trafford Guilty Plea – multiple child pornography charges
West Warwick Man Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy, Production, and Possession of Child Pornography
PROVIDENCE – A West Warwick man today pleaded guilty in federal court to multiple child pornography charges, announced United States Attorney Zachary A. Cunha.
According to charging documents, Russell C. Trafford, 55, conspired with others to produce child pornography through the sexual abuse of a female known to the defendant and his family. Trafford began producing sexually explicit photographs of the victim when she was four years old. The abuse lasted for fourteen years, during which time Trafford created images of the victim engaged in sexually explicit conduct with himself and with other adult men.
Sexually explicit images created by Trafford were seized by members of the Rhode Island State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the FBI during an April 2022 court-authorized search of Trafford's residence.
Today, Trafford pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce child pornography, production of child pornography, and possession of child pornography. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 8, 2023.
Conspiracy to produce child pornography and production of child pornography are each punishable by statutory penalties of 30 years in federal prison, with a mandatory term of incarceration of 15 years; possession of child pornography is punishable by up to 20 years of incarceration. The defendant's sentences will be determined by a federal district judge after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sandra R. Hebert.
Trafford, detained at the ACI, is charged in Rhode Island state court with two counts of first-degree child molestation and one count of first-degree sexual assault.

Book Review of Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
By: Brian Katcher | April 20, 2017
Title: Fish in a Tree
Lynda Mullaly Hunt
Cover Story: Like the Name Says
Drinking Buddy: The Geek Table
Testosterone Estrogen Level: Strength
Talky Talk: Dying Inside
Bonus Factor: Awesome Teacher, Fact Spouting Nerd
Bromance Status: Required Reading
What you see is what you get, though if you aren't familiar with that phrase, you might not catch what's going on.
Everyone thinks elementary student Ally is dumb and lazy. And she never argues that point. You see, the truth is worse. She cannot read. It takes her forever just to get through one page. And she'd much rather have people think she won't work than to know that she's desperately stupid. And if that means she has no friends, then so be it.
But when her teacher goes on maternity leave, there's a new sub in town. Mr. Daniels has some crazy ideas. Like that learning should be fun. That every child should participate in class. And that no child is stupid.
Well, Ally has heard that song and dance before. She's just going to keep her head down and wait for all this to blow over. She doesn't want this young, enthusiastic teacher to realize how dumb one of his kids is.
Despite her solitary lifestyle, Ally falls in with tell-it-like-it-is Keisha, the only African-American student in class; and Albert, the facts-obsessed geek. Maybe they kind of don't fit in either. And as the more popular kids take their shots, Ally realizes that there's something to be said for outcasts like her two new friends. And that maybe, there's something to be said for someone like Ally.
It's funny how we often expect kids to put up with things that we, as adults, would never stand for. Bullying, obsessive testing, conformity, and having to ask permission to pee. And yet, they somehow thrive. I liked watching Ally and her friends realize that life is not the school hierarchy, and that maybe great things are in store for all of them.
It breaks my heart to see how creative, artistic Ally has already given up on herself. Hey, she's stupid, and the school has the tests that prove it. Every time she tries to assert herself, she just ends up embarrassed. When her old teacher goes on maternity leave, Ally buys her the prettiest card in the store, kind of hoping it'll mend fences. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a sympathy card, and the teacher is unamused by what she thinks is an attempt at dark humor. Just when Ally starts to trust Mr. Daniels, he misses a day of work. And when the substitute goes over the day's lesson plan, she publicly reads Mr. Daniel's private notes. "Which one of you is Ally? It says here you don't have to write a story like everyone else, just draw a picture."
Buy Ally has her moments. When Keisha is punished over a misunderstanding, Ally breaks the same rule, just so they can face the fire together. When she and Keisha realize Albert is being bullied, they help him stand up to his tormentors. And Ally realizes that Shay, the queen bee of the class, may not be as well-liked as everyone thinks.
Junior high is coming, kids. People are going to try to make you feel bad about yourself. Don't start believing them.
Bonus Factor: Awesome Teacher
Mr. Daniels is a long-term sub, so he has a lot more leeway than a regular teacher. He's not as concerned with tests, state standards, and other nonsense. He can take time to get to know his kids and maybe see things a stressed-out classroom teacher might miss.
And now I go to spend two weeks giving standardized tests to my students.
Bonus Factor: Fact-Spouting Nerd
I really liked Albert. He'd spout off all kinds of random facts and figures, unaware that absolutely no one is interested. Ally and Keisha are fond of him, as he's a fellow outcast. Albert is physically bullied, but puts up with it because he doesn't believe in violence. Until the bullies turn on his friends…
I hope a lot of teachers have a chance to read this. I know this one enjoyed it.
FTC full disclosure: I received neither money nor fresh baked cupcakes for this review.

Wieters (1-0), held the Eagles scoreless on three hits and one walk while striking out two. He did not allow a runner to advance past second base. Also serving as Tech's DH, he went 1-for-3 with a RBI.
Tech starter Blake Wood did not figure in the decision, working 3.1 innings and allowing one run while working on a pitch count. Freshman Tim Ladd worked two scoreless innings to close out the game.
Jeff Kindel led the Yellow Jackets with two hits. Tech had just seven hits in the game but was aided by 10 walks and five Georgia Southern errors.
Tech built a 4-1 lead through three innings, scoring two runs in both the second and third innings. Andy Hawranick had a RBI single and Michael Fisher drove in a run with a groundout in the second inning. In the third, Greene walked and scored on an error and Wieters executed a squeeze bunt.
The Yellow Jackets added three runs in the sixth inning to extend the lead to 7-1. Tech loaded the bases on a single and two walks before Greene drove in two runs with a single and Danny Payne scored a third run on an errant throw during the same play.
The Eagles' only run of the game came in the third inning on Jason Hurst's two-out RBI single. Hurst led Georgia Southern with two hits in four at bats.
Georgia Southern starter Dustin Evans (0-3) took the loss, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks in 4.1 innings.
The Yellow Jackets play an exhibition at the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday at 1 p.m. before opening Atlantic Coast Conference play this weekend at Duke.

Raithwaite Hall country retreat
Raithwaite Hall, Sandsend, near Whitby, North Yorkshire
Set back on the clifftops at Sandsend, 19th-century Raithwaite Hall was once a local shipping magnate's country pile. Now, it is owned by property and leisure group Skelwith, which has spent £30m turning it into a 45-bedroom hotel.
It describes itself as a "country retreat", but Raithwaite is also a spa and a wedding venue, with business conference facilities. Quaint it ain't. It is a well-oiled machine, a hospitality hub aiming – and this isn't necessarily pejorative – to be all things to all people. There isn't much, from mountain biking to a day's shooting, that the hotel can't organise for guests.
Depa, "the world's largest interior contractor" (it worked on the Savoy and Dubai's Burj Khalifa), styled the hotel, which, like the Raithwaite Rolls-Royce parked outside, conforms to a wealthy, middle-aged idea of contemporary good taste. The restaurant's glass-walled wine store, itself a big-city cliche, is as edgy as it gets. That said, while there were details in my entry-level bedroom (mustard carpet; gilt-frames; antique-style furniture) that weren't to my taste, it is spacious and very well-equipped. It was clearly conceived by somebody with an astute grasp of what guests value in a hotel bedroom.
The bed is huge and luxuriously comfortable, with high-quality linens. The heating is easily adjusted, the Wi-Fi/TV idiot-proof. There is a well-stocked tea tray, fruit bowl, iron, hairdryer and iPod dock, plus a balcony that overlooks Raithwaite's manicured gardens. In the bathroom, there are Molton Brown toiletries and a handsome Villeroy & Boch suite.
Being a bar rather than spa man (people pad the corridors in bath robes, like it's a sanatorium), I head to the lounge, where, as Sinatra croons over the PA, Raithwaite's well-drilled staff pamper guests, without getting too obsequious. Everyone knows your name, Mr Naylor. Which is a little disconcerting, Mr Naylor. But the staff are personable, natural, at ease.
The pool at Raithwaite Hall
The restaurant majors, unadventurously, on steaks, from Yorkshire-bred Limousin cattle. My 300g 45-day aged rib-eye, mapped with fat and grilled, bone-in, over wood, to a precise medium rare, is sensational. It should be for £28. The chips, however, are slightly underdone and a pork belly and black pudding fritter starter is OK, but needs streamlining, refining.
The elaborate breakfast (there's chorizo, smoked salmon, all sorts) is a self-service buffet, sadly. Why buy high-quality local sausages then leave them hanging around in a warmer? After breakfast, I follow a path through woodland towards Sandsend, pheasants fleeing as I approach. It's a magical little route that gives way to great sea views.
If you want to treat your dad for his 60th, take him to Raithwaite. He'll love it. If a friend's getting married here, stay. You'll enjoy it. But will it set your pulse racing? Probably not.

About the artist: John Lowrie Morrison
Limited Edition Prints and Collectable Art Prints from Global Art Prints
Artist: John Lowrie Morrison (JoLoMo)
John Lowrie Morrison (JoLoMo) was born in Glasgow in 1948. He studied Drawing and Painting at Glasgow School of Art. His initial career was in art education working in Scotland.
The art work of John Lowrie Morrison is very much influenced by the Expressionist School. He follows fellow Scottish artist Joan Eardley's dictum that 'Painting is like breathing - you have to do it'. Morrison paints with a vigorous, carefree approach producing art prints and limited edition prints of the rugged scenery of the Scottish Highlands, crofters cottages, inlets, villages and still life pieces. John Lowrie Morrison's bold use of colour adds an energy and intensity to each art print. This typical Scottish style of using vibrant colours produces uplifting and magical limited edition prints of enduring quality. Lowrie Morrison limited edition prints encourages the viewer not simply to view the landscape or still life but rather to experience it.
John Lowrie Morrison has painted the west coast of Scotland since the early 1960's. He paints the light of the west - the light that bathes the Inner and Outer Hebrides.Morrison uses strong colour to express that light and sees his art prints – not in the traditional chiaroscuro of light and dark - but in darkness versus colour,which is what his painting is about: an allegorical description of the human spirit. John's roots are in the Outer Hebrides – Kyles. Isle of Harris – where family cousins still work and live. Many childhood visits to family on Skye at Portnalong gave him a love of the croft.
John Lowrie Morrison is probably Scotland most prolific artist. Every year he participates in a number of art exhibitions both in the UK and Internationally. His original paintings and limited edition prints are held in many private and corporate art collections throughout the world including those of entertainers Madonna and Sting.
John Lowrie Morrison art prints are produced using the latest giclée prints technology and are printed on fine art paper using lightfast pigment inks. All John Lowrie Morrison Limited Edition Prints maybe purchased either as unmounted art prints, mounted art prints or framed art prints.

100 words each day. That's the goal.
I have almost started a blog for a few years now. I get going with a post, and then the impetus to finish just kind of peters out.
So I've decided to take another tack: Just write consistently each day.
100 words per day is a manageable goal. Writing that much takes me just a few minutes each day. In fact, once I get started, I usually end up writing a lot more.
It all adds up, though. If I write 100 words a day, I should be able to get a 700 - 1500 word blogpost out every week or two, on average. Over a year, it adds up to over 36 000 words, which is quite a body of writing. All without setting that lofty goal.
Since writing 100 words is a small, doable task, it also allows me to include the writing as part of a daily routine. While I find it difficult to carve out a slot each week to write a blog post, I can easily start the day by writing 100 words.
Doing it this way gets me in the habit of writing. It's much easier to start a small daily habit than keeping to a goal that is a year (or even a week) away.
At the outset, I knew that I needed a consistent, fair way to measure my progress on this habit. The only way I would stick to it is if I get a reminder of my actual progress each day.
Because of the tools I use to write this blog, all the blogposts are plain text files with minimal extra markup. A simple one-liner gives me a total word count of all the files, and this is what I use to track progress. There is some content that is autogenerated, but that accounts for maybe 2% of the count. The simpler, the better. With a running total adding up to a hundred words a day, I can easily check my progress.
Of course, since I can program, I scripted a small logging system to keep track and chart my progress, just so that I have a pretty graph for motivation. This is something I did for a previous project and could easily adapt to my writing. Gamifying the process does help.
Each day, or on demand, I get a listing with the wordcount of each draft blogpost, a total wordcount and the target wordcount for the day. This gives me an easy overview and focuses my attention on fleshing out the last details of an almost-done post, or encouraging me to jot down some thoughts on a hardly-started one.
At the moment, I'm 64 days into the project and still keeping to the goal, although I have only 4 published posts. Since every post starts off as a draft, I can get a whole bunch of things off my mind and in writing without having to publish any of it. However, since I'll be writing about half a novel every year, at least some of it should make it out into the world.
There is a deeper reason behind this, though: By not forcing myself to write for immediate publishing, the words flow more freely. Because I am only aiming for quantity, I bypass my self-limiting perfectionist tendencies and just get the writing done.
Of course, this means that I'll be writing some material of low quality. However, I strongly believe that the best way to write better is to write more.

Lesson Plan: Marlon Riggs' Tongues Untied
October 27, 2016 September 14, 2017 Ian Bryce Jones
In the spring of 2016, I taught two concurrent sections of a seminar on Avant-Garde Film and Video Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. When I tallied up the 25 final papers across my two sections, I received two papers on Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), two papers on Stan Brakhage's The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes (1971), three papers on Carolee Schneemann's Fuses (1967) … and six papers on Marlon Riggs' Tongues Untied (1989). Clearly, the video had struck a nerve, above and beyond anything else I had shown in the course had managed to do.
I have subsequently integrated the video into my course "Moving Images and Arguments," on cinematic rhetoric, and I definitely plan to teach it again in the future, across a variety of possible contexts. I like to take a relatively hands-off approach when teaching Tongues Untied, privileging student conversation over lecture. However, I do have some notes on things I have found it productive to turn to while leading discussion, based primarily around clips I find to be especially rich.
Genre and address
By the time my students encountered Tongues Untied in my Avant-Garde Cinema/Video Art course, they had seen plenty of things that had broken their expectations of what cinema could be. They had seen the dancing leaves and dead wings of Stan Brakhage's Mothlight (1963). They had seen Jack Smith's crazed stare, and heard his even more crazed stories (interrupted by bursts of radio noise, as laid out in the projection instructions) in Ken Jacobs' Blonde Cobra (1963). And so I was surprised by how much, by this point, Tongues Untied still threw them for a loop.
The situation, I surmise, was this: By the time they encountered Tongues Untied, they had a pretty good idea of what an "experimental film" should look like. Tongues Untied, though, broke this mold. Rather than triggering the associations of "experimental film" or "video art," it triggered associations of "documentary" … and then proceeded to disrupt the expectations that followed.
The biggest disruption students reported was to their expectations of how they would be addressed as an audience. Students expected a "documentary" film such as this one to educate them. In this particular case, they expected a video that would educate an audience larger than the Black, gay men about this particular subculture. Those are not, however, this video's intentions: it is, primarily, a call to action, a celebration of Black gay culture that aims at inspiring new Black gay voices. This means it is much more personal, and has a very different form of address, than students were expecting. Although there were various queer students and students of color in my classroom, there were no Black gay men. My students' opinions were nearly unanimous: this video was not, primarily, "for" them. Their expectation to be "educated" had been thwarted, because they were not the primary addressee of this video. And this was, in fact, a feeling that was unfamiliar to many of them. In a discussion board post, one of my students wrote that he had come to recognize his desire to "understand" this culture—and, presumably, be handed a roadmap for the correct political action he could take—to be "a privileged response," one that prized the unambiguous certainty of a dispassionate onlooker, "when in reality that is unattainable."
It is wonderful for students to have this kind of open discussion! The question is, though: once they have finished, how do you turn things back to the specificities of the video? One way is to dwell a bit more on issues of genre. Perhaps the video is not best described as a "documentary." But, then, what is it? The answer: so many things! So, so many things!
We could call it an "essay film," but that is only one literary genre that we could connect it to. After all, much of the film takes the form of poetry recitations, so we could also include it in the pantheon of poetry on film. Sheila Petty, meanwhile, makes the case—quite convincingly, in my opinion—that the film is structured around symphonic form, with a distinct "prelude," "exposition," "development," "recapitulation," and "coda."[i]
Let's dwell, though, on the issue of poetry. I point out to students that the video was a collaboration between Riggs and the poet Essex Hemphill, who, along with Riggs, frequently appears in the video as a narrator, reading poetry aloud. I encourage them, though, to be specific about the ways in which the video translates poetry into a specific cinematic form, one that makes ample use of video editing, and couldn't have really existed in pure spoken form. I usually start by playing the following clip:
Could the effects of this clip be achieved in a live poetry performance? If students answer "yes," press them. Isn't the impact of the slurs accentuated through the quick cuts to uncomfortably close mouths? Can't you practically feel the breath of those hurling verbal abuse? You can gesture at this type of sound collage on the page or in a live reading, but the clipped audio sampling on the soundtrack, coupled with the "video sampling" on the image track, adds another layer on top of the harsh verbal violence.
In my Moving Images and Arguments course, one of my students characterized these interruptions as cinematic "flashbacks," and likened them to post-traumatic flashbacks. This is a great point! We can imagine here Riggs attempting to recount his experience in a controlled manner, voice soft and steady, but these traumatic memories keeps surfacing, taking the form of shouting voices.
This "visual sampling" technique isn't as simple as simply cutting to a shot of a face when their voice is sampled on the soundtrack. Pay close attention to the following clip, the "never think of a fuck" montage. As the interjections build, poised between auditory violence and expressions of pleasure, a complex visual-auditory counterpoint takes over, and the dominant image shifts. At the 36 second mark, the video establishes Essex Hemphill as the dominant face, with quick cutaways to the chanting man when he gasps. Around the 1 min 1 sec mark, though, the balance changes, as Hemphill raises his voice: now, his clipped syllables begin motivating the cuts, and we see the two men at almost equal intervals.
It's a segment that's really worth going through frame-by-frame. I know that YouTube is ill-suited to this particular task, so perhaps in the future I'll do a more thorough analysis, and post some graphs …
Intersectional montage
Historical trivia: the year of Tongues Untied's release, 1989, was the same year that Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw coined the term intersectionality.[ii] When I introduce the film to students, I point out that, although the term itself wouldn't widely enter the public's vocabulary until much more recent times, it is still very much the phenomena the video is about, even if it didn't yet go by such a widely-recognized name. Perhaps nothing illustrates this better than the following clip, which could practically be embedded next to the dictionary definition of the term:
Sometimes, the theme of intersectionality is quite overt (as in the clip above). Other times, though, Riggs' rhetorical touch is quite soft. In 2016, with marriage equality as the law of the land in the US, the analogy between the Gay Rights movement and the Civil Rights movement has become old hat. I encourage students, though, to try to put themselves in the minds of a Black gay man a quarter of a century ago, before this analogy was dominant in the minds of most Americans. How do you leverage the different elements of your intersectional identity to make a compelling claim? Riggs' answer is often, "subtly, through well-timed image/sound relationships." I know it's hard to unlearn the analogies you know, but as you watch the following clip, try not to let your 2016 viewpoint cloud your appreciation of the careful work being done. What do we see, what do we hear, and when?
Photographs of AIDS victims give way to a photograph of Riggs' own face. (Riggs in fact had five more years to live; he died of AIDS in 1994.) From this, we dissolve into Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and other Black activists. On the soundtrack, "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around" gradually builds, as footage of Civil Rights marches slowly dissolves in. An inattentive listener could be forgiven for thinking that this was a period recording from the 1960s, but the careful listener will hear one of the singers insert the line "ain't gonna let homophobia …" into the lyrics (at 1 min 25 sec in the above clip). This alteration of the original lyrics becomes even more prominent as several voices join in—notably, right at the moment that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's face floats into full visibility (1 min 32 sec in the clip). From here on in, Riggs plays fast and loose with time period and cause. A Selma march banner dissolves into footage from a Pride Parade. The message, by this point, is clear: Riggs is claiming a historical lineage. This is his grand riposte to the homophobes in the African American community that earlier drew his and Hemphill's ire. And it's a surprisingly slow and careful build, given how effortless the connection seems in 2016!
Those are my general go-to discussion moments, but of course I give students plenty of time to pick out anything they want to draw class attention to. So far, they've been quite adept at animating their own discussion on this video!

This groundbreaking book explores the psychodynamics and socio-politics of the forensic therapeutic milieu. Contributors describe the ethical, intellectual and emotional challenges of their work, providing readers with a theoretical and practical understanding of factors that help and hinder the development of effective therapeutic relationships.
This groundbreaking book explores the psychodynamics and socio-politics of the forensic therapeutic milieu, addressing some of the most difficult and complex issues facing practitioners. It sets out a psycho-social framework for understanding the predicament and the needs of those who live in and those who work in forensic mental health settings. It brings to life the thinking of those working on the frontline in an increasingly difficult and hostile environment, and draws together fresh and stimulating approaches to engagement with highly complex individuals who present challenges to traditional models of psychiatric assessment and treatment.
Contributors with considerable clinical experience and expertise from a range of disciplines consider the ethical, emotional and intellectual challenges of their work, and describe ways in which genuine containment and change can be achieved despite numerous perceived assaults on therapeutic relationships, and on the therapeutic milieu itself. Combining clinical case studies with organisational perspectives and clear descriptions of theoretical processes, they explore key issues including the challenges of maintaining role-appropriate, 'boundaried' relationships; the tensions between public protection and individual confidentiality; questions of risk and responsibility; duty of care and respect for individual liberty; the challenges posed by inter-professional tensions and rivalries; as well as specific clinical dilemmas. The difficulties they experience in fulfilling specific therapeutic roles in the face of uncertainties about the funding and commissioning of their services are addressed, and the final part of the book outlines some of the ways in which individuals, particular services and whole organisations may protect themselves when under attack.
This unique and highly original book is essential reading for all those working, or training to work, in both forensic and non-forensic inpatient therapeutic milieux and for academics and lay readers interested in the societal dynamics of inclusion and exclusion that are replicated and magnified in these settings.

Q: Regex help for this expression with digits wanted I am splitting given text wherever  eachDELETEDDELETED occours, however some of my files contain text like:
each2,DELETED6,DELETED
eachDELETED2,DELETED
each5,DELETED15,DELETED
each5,DELETED5,DELETED2

I want to do a regex replace and turn these expressions into eachDELETEDDELETED.
I have tried using the follow code:
Regex ra = new Regex(@"eachDELETED\d, DELETED");

MatchCollection mcMatches = ra.Matches(extracted);

foreach (Match m in mcMatches)
{
    if (m.Success)
    {
        //  MessageBox.Show(m.Value.ToString());
        richTextBox5.Text += "JJJJ------>" +m.Value + "\n";
    }
}

But I'm not getting any matches.

A: The regex each\d*,*DELETED\d*,DELETED\d* matches all the sample data:

each2,DELETED6,DELETED
  eachDELETED2,DELETED
  each5,DELETED15,DELETED
  each5,DELETED5,DELETED2

If the lack of the comma in the second line is a typo, use each\d*,DELETED\d*,DELETED\d*
Basically, \d matches a digit and * means zero or more times.

Q: Getting different outputs when I change from "--" to no -- on flag Ok, I have having trouble with flags.  I think I currently am on the right track but my println in my PrintRepeater program will output a true if I type "go run *.go printrepeater 3 --slow", but if I type "go run *.go printrepeater 3 slow" I get flase.
testCli.go
package main

import (
    "github.com/codegangsta/cli"
    "os"
   )

app := cli.NewApp()
app.Name = "Learn CLI"

        Usage: "slowing down",
    },
    }*/

  //    app.Flags = []cli.Flag{
  //cli.StringFlag{"slow", "yes", "for when you have too much time", ""},
 // }

 app.Commands = []cli.Command{
    {
        Name:   "countup",
        Usage:  "counting up",

        Usage: "prints hello x number of times",
        Flags: []cli.Flag{
            cli.BoolFlag{
                Name:  "slow",
                Usage: "to slow things down by a certian amount",
            },
        },
        Action: PrintRepeater,
    },
}

app.Run(os.Args)
}

PrintRepeater.go
package main

import "github.com/codegangsta/cli"
import "strconv"

func PrintRepeater(c *cli.Context) {
    println(c.Bool("slow"))

    i1 := c.Args()[0]
    i2, err := strconv.Atoi(i1)
    if err != nil {
        println(err)
    }
    for i := i2; i >= 1; i-- {
        println("hello")
    }
}

A: Flags start with a -, that's just how they are defined.
When you use printrepeater 3 slow, "slow" is now an extra argument, and doesn't affect the state of the slow flag.

Emmy-Winning Actor Rip Torn Has Died at Age of 88
LOS ANGELES - Rip Torn, the free-spirited Texan who overcame his quirky name to become a distinguished actor in theater, television and movies and win an Emmy in his 60s for his comedy turn on TV's "The Larry Sanders Show," has died. He was 88.
Torn died Tuesday afternoon at his home with his wife, Amy Wright, and daughters Katie Torn and Angelica Page by his side, according to his publicist Rick Miramontez. No cause of death was given.
His career on stage and screen spanned seven decades, ranging from an early career of dark, threatening roles to iconic comedic performances later in life.
After acclaimed performances in "Cross Creek," "Sweet Bird of Youth" and other dramas, Torn turned to comedy to capture his Emmy as the bombastic, ethically challenged television producer in "The Larry Sanders Show." Created by and starring Garry Shandling, HBO's spoof of TV talk shows aired from 1992 to 1998 and is widely credited with inspiring such satirical programs as "30 Rock" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Born Elmore Rual Torn, the actor adopted the name Rip in his boyhood, following the tradition of his father and uncle. It was the subject of endless ridicule during his early days as a stage actor in New York, and fellow drama students urged him to change it.
With customary stubbornness, he refused, eventually overcoming the jokes with a series of powerful performances that led to his being regarded, along with Marlon Brando, Paul Newman and James Dean, as actors of a postwar generation who brought tense realism to their craft. He was also a political activist who joined James Baldwin, Harry Belafonte and other cultural and civil rights leaders for a frank and emotional 1963 meeting with then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy about the country's treatment of blacks.
Torn made his film debut in 1956 in an adaptation of Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll," and within a few years was a respected film and television actor, working on occasions with his second wife, Geraldine Page. At the Actors Studio, he gained the attention of Elia Kazan, who hired him as understudy to Alex Nicol, then playing Brick Pollitt in the Tennessee Williams classic, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Toward the end of the show's Broadway run, Torn took over the role of the alcoholic, emotionally troubled former football hero. He did so billed against his wishes as Elmore Torn.
Cast later in a "U.S. Steel Hour" production for television, he was told to either change his name or forfeit the role. He threatened to return to his native Texas, but finally agreed to be credited as Eric Torn. He was billed as Rip Torn thereafter. His success eventually inspired a younger cousin to take up acting, too - Oscar winner Sissy Spacek.
Other film credits included "Critics Choice" and "The Cincinnati Kid." In Albert Brooks' "Defending Your Life," he was featured as a gregarious attorney in the afterlife.
Brooks tweeted Tuesday night, "R.I.P Rip Torn. He was so great in Defending Your Life. I'll miss you Rip, you were a true original."
On television he played such figures as Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson and Walt Whitman.
His career hit a dry spell in the 1970s, and he blamed it on the buzz in Hollywood at the time that he was difficult to work with, a reputation sealed when tension on the set of "Easy Rider" led to his being replaced by Jack Nicholson for the 1969 release and missing out on one of the biggest hits of the era.
"I wouldn't say that I was blacklisted," he told The Associated Press in 1984, "but the word got around that I was difficult and unreliable. Unreliable! In all my years in the theater I have never missed a performance."
He managed to keep working in small projects in theater, films and TV, returning to the mainstream in 1983 with "Cross Creek," in which he played table-smashing backwoodsman Marsh Turner. The role brought him his only Oscar nomination, for best supporting actor.
Among his other films: "City Heat" and "Men in Black."
But he never entirely shook his rebellious reputation.
"What do they say about all the guys that are tremendous actors?" he told The New York Times in 2006. "Don't they say they have a volatile temper and emotions? Yeah, sure they do! They're not saying they like a nice, mild guy. Look at Sean Penn.
In 1994, actor-director Dennis Hopper said on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" that Torn once pulled a knife in a New York restaurant as he complained about being replaced in "Easy Rider." He sued Hopper for slander and won a $475,000 judgment.
He remained active in film and television in later years, including a recurring role in "30 Rock" and a voice acting gig in the 2007 animated "Bee Movie."
He weathered a couple of drunken driving arrests, including one in December 2008 near his home in Salisbury, Connecticut, that led to his placement in an alcohol education program.
Born in Temple, Texas, Torn initially studied agriculture at Texas A&M and acting at the University of Texas. After service as a military policeman during the Korean War, he hitchhiked to Hollywood. Landing only tiny roles in movies and TV dramas, and supporting himself as a fry cook and dishwasher, he decided to shift to New York and seek more training as an actor.
Torn and his first wife, actress Ann Wedgeworth, had a daughter, Danae, before divorcing. In 1963 he married Page, with whom he had co-starred in the touring production and movie version of "Sweet Bird of Youth." They had three children, a daughter, Angelica, and twins Jon and Tony, and appeared in productions together until her death in 1987. Torn also had two children, Katie and Claire, with actress Amy Wright.
