Continuum: Second Opinion

"You have an onboard shink? What did you do?"

Who knew an episode about forced psychotherapy could be so touching?

As a mother myself, I completely empathized with Kiera in a state of emotional despair because it was Sam's birthday. It would have been beyond infuriating to be told that I had to either get over it, or I could lose my memories of my son forever. Rachel Nichols did a good job with the anger and grief Kiera was experiencing, especially in that scene in the conference room where she finally let it all go and accepted that she might never see Sam again.

Alessandro Juliani as the "onboard shrink" was pretty much perfect, and symbolically, he was a terrific outward representation of Kiera's inner emotional turmoil. Just as things with the VPD were going nuts, Kiera couldn't outrun "Mr. Fairweather", couldn't escape him, couldn't outwit him. All she could do was rein in her feelings and cooperate with him. Mr. Fairweather was absolutely correct that Kiera was feeling guilty for abandoning her child, even though it certainly wasn't her fault.

Interestingly, it was future Alec's fault that Kiera abandoned Sam, and future Alec who created Mr. Fairweather. The thing is, Alec's program actually did its job. Mr. Fairweather kept Kiera from acting inappropriately and then compassionately helped her through the crisis, even though the threat of what would happen if she failed was way too harsh. We keep being reminded of Alec's current age (taking a skateboard to work? Really?) while we are also reminded of his uber-genius as he made Kellog give him 51% control of their new venture. It's not that Alec doesn't deserve a supercomputerized batcave of his very own, but doing it with Kellog feels like a huge mistake.

I was waiting for the reveal that Jason is Alec's father, but we didn't get it. We did get time travel plans, though, and Alec's promise that he will reverse engineer a way home for Jason. Alec invented time travel, didn't he? So those plans had to be Alec's in the first place, right? Round and round we go.

Meanwhile back at VPD, meet the new boss. Not the same as the old boss. Inspector Nora Harris sure made Dillon look good. I was worried about Betty, although I shouldn't have been. Betty was framed to look like the mole, because as it turns out, she is the mole. Pretty cool writing there. How did it happen? Was she turned after the meeting Dillon asked her to attend, or has it been even longer than that?

Bits and pieces:

-- The date was March 15, 2013. Sam's birthday is the Ides of March.

-- Alec has a business card. SadTech finally exists.

-- I loved how Mr. Fairweather realized he couldn't see himself in the bathroom mirror and then appeared there, too.

-- Also loved Kiera's toilet paper introduction to her new boss.

-- This week's Most Obvious Symbolism was Sam's toy soldier. When you think about it, Kiera herself is also a toy soldier.

-- Kellog's hair is getting progressively shorter.

-- Why does Carlos look so much hotter this season? He can carry off very dark blue under very dark gray. Who does that?

Alec: "If Escher's running it [Piron], then he's like the Great Oz, hands on lever, all curtain…"

Kellog: "Still has that new server smell."

Kiera: "I lost my temper."
Alec: "So Doctor Feelweird cut us off?"

Kiera: "Okay. Full psychological health in an hour or less. Let's do it."

Alec: "Jason, did you have something to do with that time travel device?"
Jason: "I know it. I mean, I knew it. I know it. You know it better. You will know it."

Jason: "Retinal scanner. Juicy."

Four out of four, hmm. I guess it should be toy soldiers, but I sort of want to go with secret moles or possibly unexpected wads of toilet paper,

At first look, this episode seems to be filler, but I liked that they took their time to give Kiera much needed development regarding her son.

The “onboard shrink” is a terrific and diabolical idea. Big Brother Alec Sadler sure knew how to do his stuff. A shrink programmed to be inside your head that’s able to delete your memories? That’s pure evil. As you pointed out, Alessandro Juliani was perfect on the role, he had this brilliant mixture of gentle and stoic.

The twist with Betty was really cool. They really threw us off, having her as the target of a set up only to reveal it was not a set up at all. Good writing there.

“The date was March 15, 2013. Sam's birthday is the Ides of March.”

Now I wonder if that was deliberate. I keep expecting Kiera’s son to pop up as an adult any time. Maybe his birthday is a clue of the role he'll play? Maybe I've been thinking too much about this show?

Tyler said...

Would be nice if we could see the date of when you did reviews.

Anyway why did you stop with this season's review? I see you did 3 but you're missing most from this one.

Billie Doux said...

Tyler, I haven't stopped. The URL says it was "2014/10". In fact, it was just last weekend, and I'll be posting the next one in a couple of days. I did season three as it aired on Syfy and am now filling in seasons one and two, at the rate of one review a week. Let's hope for a season four that I can review as it airs next spring!

drnanamom said...

Good episode and great review Billie! I am slowly making my way through this show and enjoying it more with each episode. I agree that the scene in the conference room was very well done - and she doesn't even have her own children so I am very impressed! I am looking forward to the rest of this season and season 3.

  • Broncos' 2008 Draft

    The 2008 Draft is finally here!

    It's Draft weekend, and best of luck to the Denver Broncos in finding good players to help the team for the future.

    Discuss the event here.
    Pugnacity, testosterone, truculence, and belligerence.

  • #2
    Decent draft so far. Most won't like the Royal pick, but I think the kid is a playmaker and a better all-round receiver than Desean Jackson. Dan Connor would of made more sense, but I think there will be good ILB value in the 4th round.

    • #3
      I'm more okay with the Royal pick now after Dexter Jackson also went in the second round since I was thinking of them as sort of interchangable for the WR/KR role with one of our 4th round picks. We needed a playmaker of this sort one way or another so now we have'em and can concentrate on other areas.

      • #4
        What are the odds we take Alexis Serna in the end rounds tomorrow (K and PK)?

        • #5
          solid first day. clady was the right pick given that we didn't trade down. he's a franchise left tackle with good athleticism and size. the only thing that worries me is that clady seems to be extremely stupid. he scored very low on the wonderlic and his radio interview following his selection (posted on bronco's home page) was a little sad. i'm not sure if it will have any effect on his play on the field but it can't be interpreted as a positive.

          royal was definitely a surprise. we ended up having a good deal of receivers to choose from so going with a guy who has been labeled as a slot receiver was interesting to say the least. there's still a chance he'll be more than stokely's future replacement however. virginia tech never had a good passing game while royal was there so i'm excited to see how he performs when matched up with cutler. he also seems to be the complete opposite of clady in terms of intelligence.

          focusing on the second day, our first pick is in the fourth round, 108th overall. i really have no idea who we're going to target but i wouldn't mind taking a kicker and or punter in the last few rounds.
          Now the only ones I take are the ones that I wear
          Ain't takin no shorts no more

            We don't need to take him. He'll be there as a UDFA. The NFL doesn't like him that much and a number of kickers are rated higher. I think if the Broncos take a kicker it will be either Coutu or Longest.

            • #7
              I was pretty sure Clady was at the top of their list at 12, so when he slid down there it was pretty much a no brainer.

              I like Royal in round 2, but I'm a little biased (go Hokies!). Certainly he fills the bill for the deep threat / returner that Shanahan was looking for. VT did not have the passing game to showcase this guy's abilities, which was very much reflected in his good performances at the Senior Bowl and Combine.

              I'm not at all surprised we went offense with the first two picks. I was thinking OL & RB, but the idea is the same - build around Cutler. I wonder if offense will continue to get the attention in day 2? I'm still thinking RB is in the mix somewhere... could there be a later round gem the Broncos have their eye on?

              • #8
                Solid draft. Clady is a good pick and Royal is a BIG upgrade on special teams at the least...Plus he IS a better receiver than Desean Jackson. As for the second day, I like Kory Lichtensteiger for depth at center, although Jamey Richard would've been my choice later in the draft. I know nothing about Jack Williams other than he is pretty physical and athletic. I guess since Foxy is gonna be gone soon we need some depth there as well.

                Ryan Torain at running back is an alright pick. He reminds me of Mike Anderson/Cecil Sapp though. I guess we need a power back too. Carlton Powell is a good character guy who can be good situational DT. Spencer Larson is a solid pick as well even though Dan Connor in the 2nd would've been alright, but I definately don't mind this pick. Josh Barrett is GREAT value in the 7th round when i've read from many people that he was projected to be a 3rd-4th rounder. He may not be the best safety in the draft but he's somebody for Lynch to mentor since he'll be retired next year. Peyton Hillis in the 7th round is extremely good. He has good size and athleticism and is a good special teamer.

                Real solid draft overall though. I'm excited to see what these guys can do.

                • #9
                  Yeah, I'd never heard of Jack Williams before... had to look him up.

                  I follow VT, so I've seen plenty of Powell. He's got a nice burst and can really stuff the run. However, I can also see him getting pushed around a bit in the NFL.

                  IMO, the Arizona/ASU guys were nice picks. The all have talent, but fell for various reasons. I could see all of them cracking the starting lineup a year or two down the line (then again, my grandmother could probably be a starting safety on this team... and she's dead).

                  I heard we picked up Anthony Aldridge as a UFA. Man, that kid is fast. He's really small, but can make big plays as a RB, WR or KR. Both he and Royal have that game-breaking speed that we've been missing for a while now. I'm really hoping one (or both!) pans out...

                  • #10
                    Yeah we got Aldridge and some kicker I believe. And I think I read something about us getting Wesley Woodyard too.

To dream of a robot represents a mechanical, methodical and rigid thinking style. Automatic thinking or responses that are not thought out. Totally straight forward or emotionless decisions. Behavior that unemotionally doesn't explain itself.

Alternatively, a robot may reflect your perception of someone who does whatever you tell them without questioning it. It may also reflect your own tendency to do whatever someone else tells you without questioning it.

Example: A high school student dreamed of robots chasing him. In waking life he felt that friends at his school weren't a good influence anymore and so he felt he had to change schools as soon as possible. The robots chasing him may have reflected his fear about changing schools so directly, unemotionally, and without explaining himself to friends.

Example 2: A woman dreamed of giant scary chicken robots killing her dog. In waking life she felt that her husband was cheating on her so he confronted him about it. He was too scared and uncomfortable to speak to her about it at all and very directly avoided her. This scared her from bringing it up again. The robots in this case may have reflected her husband's very cold and direct manner of avoiding talking to her or properly explaining himself.

Police Say Woman Stalked Duck Before Killing It

November 19, 2013 at 3:24 pm by

Karie LindgrenTARPON SPRINGS, FL – In my continuing efforts to report on the news that matters, police have arrested 36-year-old Karie Lindgren after they say she stalked a duck before purposely running it over with her car.

Natalie Paraskevopoulos called police after she found a duck squished in her driveway, accompanied by tire tracks across her front yard. “It was just really, really, upsetting to find it that way,” she said. “I mean, I was choked up. I was in tears by the time the police arrived.”

While on the scene, police were probably wishing a kid would get abducted nearby when another neighbor informed them they’d seen what had happened. They said they watched Lindgren first tried luring the duck with candy. When that tactic failed to work, Lindgren began stalking the duck in her car before finally running it over at a high rate of speed.

Police arrested Lindgren and charged her with felony animal cruelty. She’s currently in jail on $5,000 bond. She didn’t make her first court appearance because detention deputies said she was being uncooperative. I know this may comes as a shock, but a police report indicated Lindgren may have mental health issues.

“We raised them practically, ‘cause we’ve known them since they were ducklings,” Paraskevopoulos said. “So, it was just really devastating because you become attached to these animals, almost like they’re your pets and they’re kind of like the gang-raping necrophiliacs jewel of the neighborhood.”

    Holy shit that’s just…messed up is what it is! I’m particularly loving the mug shot there.

    Cats are natural predators. I dont think that it really fits with this scenario. I live in a neghborhood with cats and ducks and the cats do not attack the ducks.

    We’ve had pet rabbits and my cat is terrified of them because they bully her!

  • Aussie Sabbath

    WTF, she deliberately killed an animal and she’s grinning her head off like it was the BEST EVAR!
    Come over here, sweetheart and try to hit a buck kangaroo. They’ll smash up your car real good and the impact will kill you at high speeds. Or a wombat. They cause axle damage and your car will swerve off the road and hit a tree.

  • Aussie Sabbath

    I guess that’s what happens when you can only conceive ways to destroy. The vitriol and hatred have to go somewhere.

    Lol, I was at first worried our cat would eat our guinea pig… Turns out she’s scared shitless of it. Funny thing is dogs (even big ones) don’t worry her a bit.

    Luckily, ah keep Ma feathers numbered, for just such an emergency. She must be quackers.

  • Leasha

    So Florida cares about punishing duck murderers but not child/teen murderers. Nice.

    I thank God you are too!

    What the duck? why? Who gives a duck? That bitch is ducked up.

  • Kelly Eklectusbird

    I’m a city girl so everytime we go to visit my boyfriend’s family a couple hours away i’m always so scared i’ll hit a kangaroo on this particular stretch of road where they cross often. i used to drive a Patrol with a bull bar which wouldn’t have been so bad but now i’m in a little Peugeot so I’ll probably die.

    Scary. As. Fudge.

  • Aussie Sabbath

    A guy I work with got knocked off his motorbike because a kangaroo jumped into him. And my uncle ended up with a dead roo in his lap after he hit it with his ute. And a 10 year old girl died after her dad hit a roo and it went through the car and hit her.
    You don’t mess with roos!

  • Aussie Sabbath

    Anyone who deliberately hurts an animal should be arrested.
    Animal cruelty is a very well known hallmark of serious mental issues. If they didn’t arrest her, it could well be a child that she decides to stalk, lure with lollies and then run over when the child doesn’t do what she wants them to do. Animal cruelty often escalates into cruelty directed at humans.

  • You don’t think people are natural predators?

    I’m legitimately curious. Of course, we are generally able to overcome our instincts. But we are ultimately and supremely predatory. It’s how we got here.

  • Lena60

    Yes, but they usually don’t run them over first.

  • Eliza Berntsen

  • CT

    There we go – I’m feeling the love now.

  • Twisted1

    Oh how I miss the sponge docks!!

  • Corinna Cole

    Of course we are natural predators…However, I dont think stalking a duck in a car and running through peoples yards just to hit it really ‘fits’ into what I was saying. A predator in the wild does it to eat and so forth. What did she want to do with the duck other than kill it. And for what? Did she take it home and pluck and eat it, no… She left it there for someone else to find. I get it is how we got here and all that jazz, but I dont think what she did was predator behavior, I think what she did was cruel, vicious, and just plain mean. I dont have issues with hunting if you are eating the food but running over a duck with a car for no reason doesnt make sense to me and in my opinion doesnt fall into predator behavior just ducking stupid.

  • JohnQknowitall

    ”It was just really, really, upsetting to find it that way,” she said. “I mean, I was choked up. I was in tears by the time the police arrived.”

    Huh? Didn’t she have any sedatives left over from last time she saw roadkill?

  • t3chsupp0rt

    Would they have run it over with a car for fun?

    Ok, don’t answer that.

  • t3chsupp0rt

    I have 2 pet rats. One has no fear of cats whatsoever. This frightens my cat greatly.

    I’m not saying she should have killed it…but I would imagine that duck and all the other ducks that this Natalie chick consider to be the “jewel” of the neighborhood were shitting their ducky guts out everywhere they pleased. Karie probably stepped in enough shit to cause her mental issues…it was poop-induced duckicide, a viable defense in FL….

  • Boogawolf

    Depends on which state you are from!

  • I totally get that. And you’re right, this wasn’t predatory in an animalistic sense. Just the way you had phrased it… you know, some people don’t think we have those natural tendencies and…

    I was curious.

  • WarriorArtemis

    I was going to say, where I come from theres a lot of deer hunting that goes on and if you hit a deer (depending on how much road is in it) you better take that shit home lol

  • WarriorArtemis

    This coming from a person who thinks its totally ok to cage an autistic child.

  • Aussie Sabbath

    Nice to bring up old news, but this is about animal cruelty. Which is to be abhorred as much as child abuse.

  • Aussie Sabbath

    We’ve kept rats too, with one being feisty enough to punch the cat in the face when she got too close to the cage. Sadly, she got out one night and died, with the cat eating part of her body. The cat knows not to go near the rats in the cage, but a rat outside the cage would be fair game to her.

  • Kelly Eklectusbird

    No you really don’t! One absolutely mangled my friend’s VN and I’ve been petrified of hitting one ever since!

  • Chinchillazilla

    If they knew how to drive, I am confident that my cats would do nothing BUT run over living things for fun.

  • Chinchillazilla

    That’s not really fair. I don’t care about most roadkill, but the wild animals in my yard are different. Especially if you’ve watched them grow up from babies, you can’t help but get a little attached. I’m a little sad when I see one of our squirrels or rabbits has been hit, and I’d be pretty upset if someone deliberately killed one just for fun.

    I’m not a complete bleeding heart. I’m pro-hunting and I eat meat. I just don’t approve of killing things solely for sport.

  • WarriorArtemis

    Yeah, in theory, however, last I checked eating children was a Felony…and you’re so right, the way they kill/prepare poultry is so much more humane than this.

    I’m just pointing out the fact that you created a double standard.

  • WarriorArtemis

    I mean at least after she made it a road pancake the least she could have done is served it for dinner.

  • Aussie Sabbath

    Funnily enough, it wasn’t me who downvoted you. Someone else doesn’t agree with you and isn’t afraid to show it.
    Considering she deliberately set out to kill the duck and in the messiest way she could think of (and didn’t eat it afterwards), she’s not all there in the head.
    Surely hurting an animal, just because she could, is wrong?

  • JohnQknowitall

    Okay, okay… Thinking of my parents and grandparents and their “in the wild” pets they feed in their yards, I concede. 🙂

  • Gee

    What an absolute bitch…. I don’t care about her mental illness. I think some tire tracks across her ass should teach her psycho ass a lesson.

  • ultracreep

    Luke Duked…love it. I have to add that one to the vocabulary. Cue the Waylon Jennings…

  • Chelle

    Maybe she thought she was protecting people. Blame the music I say

  • WarriorArtemis

    I’m sure that it is, however, I think its fucked up that FL authorities are more interested in detaining a chick that killed a living thing that could become food rather than worrying about detaining actual violent offenders. Yeah, this chick is sort of violent but not crazy violent like many others who get off in that state.

    That was my overall point. Previously I was poking fun at it and you chose to get all bitch hurt, then I got serious because no, I don’t agree with a lot of what you say, you’re also one of the reasons I stopped writing for BB…because of your opinion on autistic kids being caged and writing the stories so nonchalantly about them that it does a serious injustice, however you don’t see me getting all bitch hurt over everything you write on teh interwebz…not everything in life is serious, its not always a dick. You don’t have to take it so hard all the time.

  • Melanie McMahan

    I’m was a Dukes of Hazzard watching child & I live in the South. It made sense to me.

  • Emily Clocke

    Poor duck 🙁

  • Megan Stokes Abdin

    I would agree that she has serious mental health issues. I mean look at the smile on her face.

  • Megan Stokes Abdin

    It was funny as hell!

Motorola Tells Customer to “Buy Elsewhere” if They Want Custom ROMs

Wow.  We know that Motorola has taken a strong stance against rooting and custom ROMs, but a remark that popped up this week from their YouTube account manager is somewhat shocking.  When the subject of avoiding the new Atrix 4G because of a potentially locked bootloader was brought up in the comments of one of their new ads, the response generated was not exactly positive and basically told anyone who is wanting to feel like the real owner of their device, to look “elsewhere.”

@tdcrooks if you want to do custom roms, then buy elsewhere, we’ll continue with our strategy that is working thanks. – motorola 2 days ago

Seriously, that’s how you represent yourself to current customers?  I understand that they have sold a bajillion phones over the last year, but man, this isn’t exactly the stuff we like to see from a company that thanks to an open mobile OS, has risen from the dead.  As one of the biggest Moto supporters on the planet, but also one that loves freedom, this sucks.  The Atrix and BIONIC are amazing devices and I’ll likely have at least one of them, but comments like these make it even easier to start focusing on the un-locked love that is HTC.   (more…)

Vince Bruni Preview Of Champions Report

| |

Reading Buccaneers skimmed through the Independence Day weekend with the wind in their sails, taking a second straight win over Rochester’s Empire Statesmen, at the 3rd annual Vince Bruni Preview of Champions on July 1. Bucs scored 80.525. Statesmen were about a point behind, at 79.563.

The third annual Preview of Champions is named in honor of the late Vince Bruni, who founded the Empire Statesmen in 1983 and the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame in 1976 and served as director of both until his passing in 2003.

Statesmen sponsored the contest at Wegmans Stadium at Aquinas Institute, as part of a busy holiday weekend schedule that saw them scheduled to perform four times: a parade in suburban Penfield NY the morning of July 1; the Preview of Champions the evening of July 1; a field show exhibition at a Raging Rhinos soccer game in PAETEC Park stadium on July 3; and the big annual July 4 parade in neighboring Irondequoit.

Syracuse Brigadiers, making their first field appearance of the season in the Preview of Champions finished third with 73.288. Rochester Crusaders scored 67.075 to finish fourth, with Danville, NY White Sabers fifth with a score of 58.638. Buccaneers again dominated the captions, taking top score in the visual composite, percussion, music composite, visual effect and effect total captions. Empire Statesmen had the top brass and music effect scores.

Empire Statesmen and Buccaneers will go head to head on the contest field three more times before the Drum Corps Associates (DCA) championship tournament is held at PAETEC Park Stadium in Rochester on Labor Day weekend. The Bucs and the Statesmen will compete again in Lewisburg, PA on July 22; in Endicott, NY on July 29; and in Reading, PA on August 26. Buccaneers are the defending DCA champions. Empire Statesmen finished second to the Buccaneers at last year’s DCA finals in Scranton, PA.

The Empire Statesmen, five-time DCA champions, are sponsoring the three-day DCA Labor Day weekend championship tournament this summer and again in 2007. The schedule of weekend events includes individual and ensemble contests, a mini-corps contest, an old-fashioned outdoor drum corps party in downtown Rochester, induction of seven new members into the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame, a concert by nine top U.S. and Canadian alumni corps, and prelims and finals for the competing corps in PAETEC Park Stadium. More than 40 units will participate in events over the weekend.

Nine of the 42 DCA championships from 1965 to 2005 have been held in Rochester: four from 1968 to 1971; four from 1973 to 1976 and one in 1996.

The Empire Statesmen drum and bugle corps is a self-supporting independent group that represents the city of Rochester across the United States and Canada and as far abroad as Europe, the Caribbean and South America.

American West

History >> Westward Expansion

Arizona Cowboy
by Frederic Remington

Cowboys played an important role in the settling of the west. Ranching was a big industry and cowboys helped to run the ranches. They herded cattle, repaired fences and buildings, and took care of the horses.

The Cattle Drive

Cowboys often worked on cattle drives. This was when a large herd of cattle was moved from the ranch to a market place where they could be sold. A lot of the original cattle drives went from Texas to the railroads in Kansas.

Cattle drives were tough work. Cowboys would get up early in the morning and "guide" the herd to the next stopping point for the night. The senior riders got to be at the front of the herd. The junior cowboys had to stay at the back where it was dusty from the large herd.

There were usually around a dozen cowboys for a good size herd of 3000 cattle. There was also a trail boss, camp cook, and wrangler. The wrangler was usually a junior cowboy who kept track of the extra horses.

The Roundup

Each spring and fall the cowboys would work on the "roundup". This was when the cowboys would bring in all the cattle from the open range. Cattle would roam freely much of the year and then the cowboys would need to bring them in. In order to tell what cattle belonged to their ranch, the cattle would have a special mark burned into them called a "brand".

Horse and Saddle

The most important possession of any cowboy was his horse and saddle. The saddles were often custom made and, next to his horse, was probably the most valuable item a cowboy owned. Horses were so important that horse stealing was considered a hanging offense!

Cowboys wore special clothing that helped them with their jobs. They wore large 10-gallon hats to protect them from the sun and the rain. They wore special cowboy boots with pointed toes that helped them to slip in and out of the stirrups when riding a horse. This was especially important if they fell so they wouldn't get dragged by their horse.

Many cowboys wore chaps on the outsides of their legs to help protect from sharp bushes and cacti that their horse may rub up against. Another important piece of clothing was the bandana which could be used to protect them from the dust kicked up by cattle.

Cowboy Code

The cowboys of the Old West had an unwritten code that they lived by. The code included such rules as being courteous, always saying "howdy", don't wave at a man on a horse (you should nod), never ride another man's horse without his permission, always help someone in need, and never put on another man's hat.

The rodeo became a sports competition with events based around the daily jobs of a cowboy. Events include calf roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, bareback bronco riding, and barrel racing.

73rd Golden Globe Awards (2015-16):
Film Nominations Preview and Predictions

Watch the Golden Globe Awards nominations announced live
this Thursday, December 10th at 8 AM Eastern/5 AM Pacific:

The Golden Globes have always been treated like a premature, insignificant warm-up act to the Academy Awards. Star-driven, not as respected a tradition, and selected not by the people who make up the entertainment industry but a strange assortment of 90 or so international journalists who comprise the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Hold on to your globes... he's back. Ricky Gervais hosts the 2016 Golden Globe Awards -- official poster
My appreciation for the Golden Globes has grown over the years. It is based on the appeal of their reliably fun hosts, which have assigned three-year runs to the duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as well as Ricky Gervais (who's back this year, after vowing to never again emcee the event); the unpredictability of the results (which have been preceded by about a month of critics' awards, not the three all-encompassing ones that the Oscars follow); and the inclusion of Academy-neglected works in their separate Comedy or Musical categories.

The Globes are not the Oscars, but nor should they be. They're their own event, one with less pomp and tradition and more alcohol and humor. There are actually a number of nominees and victors at recent Golden Globes that I have preferred to the Oscars' choices (from The Lego Movie to Greta Gerwig to American Hustle), which makes it easier to forgive them when they do something ludicrous, like leaving The Muppets out of Comedy or Musical contention, outright forbidding animation from competing for Best Picture, and nominating crap like The Tourist, Alice in Wonderland, and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.

On Thursday, December 10th, nominations for the 73rd Annual Golden Globes will be announced at 8 AM Eastern/5 AM Pacific. You can watch them live at the top of this page! But you don't have to wait until then to know the movies, actors, and filmmakers whose names will (probably) be announced. Because I'm going to give you some well-informed predictions for the movie categories, having seen all but a few of the potential contenders. As usual, you're on your own for television, since I haven't seen anywhere near enough to pretend to be an authority on that medium.

Without further ado, here are my film category predictions and the reasoning behind them. The HFPA has been known to surprise, but I'm pretty confident about most of these picks, which are arranged from most likely to least likely.

"Spotlight", about the Boston Globe's four-member investigative journalist team, is the film to beat this awards season.

Best Picture - Drama
The Revenant
Bridge of Spies
The Hateful Eight

Next in line: Carol, Creed, Room, Steve Jobs, The Danish Girl, Youth, The Walk, Mad Max: Fury Road

This year has been better than most in terms of quantity and quality of serious year-end cinema. Most of it has been classified as drama, too, which is not that unusual. I would not be surprised if the Globes expanded this category to squeeze in a sixth and maybe even a seventh nominee as they have done in certain years past. Spotlight has emerged as something of a frontrunner for the entire season, though it has yet to spark the backlash that comes from that status by sweeping critics' awards, which both The Social Network and Boyhood did before losing the Oscars' top prize. Any of the thirteen above could crack the field without feeling out of place and with the exception of Spotlight, all thirteen could also miss out without feeling like a jaw-dropping snub. That level of unpredictability is most welcome, especially this early in the season.

Ha ha ha! Matt Damon stars as a NASA botanist stranded on Mars in the hilarious comedy "The Martian."

Best Picture - Comedy or Musical
The Martian
The Big Short
The Intern

Next in line: Grandma, Cinderella

Should have been contenders: Inside Out, Anomalisa

The Globes went from being proud to bestow Best Picture awards upon animated features to completely eliminating them from competition in either Best Picture category (unless they were called Avatar).
That rash and curious practice has made the Oscars, with their expanded and more inclusive Best Picture field, suddenly the ones more likely to recognize animation with major nominations. This year should force the Globes to reconsider their eligibility standards, especially based on what we have here, which is one all-out comedy (Trainwreck), a bunch of movies that have been gifted comedy classification, and The Intern, which is a comedy but not a great one. The Globes took an uncharacteristic hard stance against allowing certain films in here. Youth, The Walk, and Trumbo all seem feasible here and their inclusion would be less objectionable than The Martian's, whose unsuitable comic tone is the main reason I did not like it. I would love to see the far better Joy or The Big Short beat it for this honor, which they could if voters really enforce the award designation. With Burnt and Our Brand Is Crisis completely striking out with both critics and moviegoers, I don't think they get in, despite being seemingly tailor-made for this award.

A Manager’s Perspective - Why Attend Progressive.NET Tutorials?

SkillsMatter are organizing another series of their Progressive.NET tutorials this May. I’ve heard from several people who would love to attend but are struggling to convince their managers that it’s worth the money (and to justify the time out of the office) – so I’d like to take this opportunity to go on the record, as a software manager, to endorse these tutorials.

If you’re in a hurry, here’s the quote:

I’m Dylan Beattie. I’ve been programming professionally for over 10 years, I’ve run a software team for 5 years. I believe that the SkillsMatter Progressive.NET tutorials offer more knowledgeable speakers, more relevant content, and better value for money than any other paid training course I have ever attended – and I believe that the skills learned at these tutorials will almost immediately result in improved productivity and better-quality software.

Progressive.NET is not a dry textbook lecture delivered by some professional trainer who doesn’t care what happens after you leave the room. It’s enthusiastic, passionate experts, who hate wasting time and money as much as you (and your boss) do, sharing lessons they’ve learned the hard way, and demonstrating tools that will help you build better software faster.

I manage a team of Web developers, who build software on Microsoft platforms – Windows, IIS, SQL Server, ASP, ASP.NET, MVC, and every kind of data access framework from good old ADO through ADO.NET, Linq to SQL, Castle ActiveRecord and Fluent NHibernate. Between us we’ve built and shipped software using almost all these platforms. We’ve spent painful hours and days tracking down obscure bugs in seven-year-old VBScript code, and we’ve seen how smoothly everything happens once you have unit tests, continuous integration and a decent development environment in place.

Over the years, my team & I have been on various “proper” developer training courses, including a five-day Microsoft-certified ASP.NET course that cost thousands of pounds and was basically a complete waste of time.

Three of us attended the SkillsMatter Progressive.NET tutorials last year, and found the event to be very, very good. The hardest thing about adopting a new technology like NHibernate or Castle is working out where it can help, and what it can do – and the best way I’ve found of getting this “guided tour” of a project’s capabilities is to spend a few hours with an expert like Ayende or Hammett showing you how it works and how it all fits together. One of my team also said that it was the first time he’d really spent time out of the office thinking about how to write better software – and he’s right; it’s hard to find the time when you’re at your desk day in, day out, to really take a step back and think “could I be doing this better?”

From a team lead / management perspective, the lessons learned and insights gleaned from the sessions at last year’s tutorials have made it much easier to base new projects on tools like NHibernate – and this has resulted in genuine time savings. We’re delivering better code, we’re delivering it faster, we’re not wasting time writing stored procedures and SELECT statements. We have less bugs. We have better release processes. We are more productive because we are inspired by learning new techniques, we’re using the right tools for the job, and we feel like part of a larger community.

More importantly, having sat in a room full of people sharing the same interest in software and software development, we don’t feel like we’re going off on some crazy hippy open-source tangent. We’ve talked IoC and ORM with people who write e-commerce systems, insurance software, finance software and major enterprise systems for healthcare organisations. It’s a radically different perspective from trying NHibernate because you read about on some guy’s blog. It’s given me, my team, and our business stakeholders confidence in these tools, and access to a rich network of fellow users and experts who are happy to advise and help out when we get a bit lost.

A new American is rising one who votes on the basis of:

1) Free contraceptives. Free Abortions. To get the single female vote.
2) unfettered illegal immigration from Mexico. to get the Latino vote.
3) free tax money to the Unions and auto bailout to Ohio. To get the Union vote.
4) The young, the naive, and the brainwashed, they don't need anything given to them, the easiest to control. Good luck getting a job in this economy in the next 4 years as you graduate from college.
5) Obamaphones and welfare. to get the lazy vote.

The rest of us who spend most of their time getting truly informed can pound sand while the rest watch "The View" and "Jon Stewart" for all the important issues.

From here on in I predict nothing but Dem victories here on out.. The demographics are changing to favor the Democratic party.

One Party Rule will forever change America beyond anything we could have imagined just a few short years ago.

Prepare for decline Americans. This is just the beginning.

It is ashame a good, decent, man as Romney could have restored our great society but was drowned out by the fools.

This country has begun on the path to decline, when 51% of the country is on the take socialism wins out 99% of the time.

What they’re saying: Eagles still shorthanded weapons-wise
May 23rd, 2017 at 1:31 PM
***PHOTO1*** The Eagles open OTAs on Tuesday, and there's plenty to follow as well get our first look at the veterans (including several new additions). It's only open to the media for one day, you can expect a lot coming in the next 24 hours. But in the meantime, here's a...

Virtually invisible Doug Pederson now has enough weapons to make him squirm
May 22nd, 2017 at 4:13 PM
***PHOTO1*** Doug Pederson has an arsenal of new weapons available for his Eagles offense this season, but he needs to be wary of the return fire of his bosses and the fans. It is inevitable now that the head coach will be under siege in 2017. After the addition of power...

What they’re saying: After overhaul, Eagles defensive line still a strength
May 19th, 2017 at 11:19 AM
***PHOTO1*** In addition to being a GIF machine, Jim Schwartz is pretty conservative defensive coordinator. He doesn't like to blitz, preferring to get after opposing quarterbacks with his front four. That means the defensive line better be one of the team's strengths, and the Eagles addressed it in the NFL Draft...

LeGarrette Blount willing to split carries but unsure of role with Eagles
May 18th, 2017 at 4:12 PM
***PHOTO1*** When the Eagles officially signed running back LeGarrette Blount on Thursday morning, the team added the biggest missing piece of its backfield puzzle.  A huge piece of the puzzle.  While the impact of the Blount signing won't be known for a while, there's no denying the running...

Despite what they say, Eagles are building to win now
May 17th, 2017 at 2:15 PM
***PHOTO1*** What they're saying is not what they're doing. They're saying patience. They're building for today. They're saying grow through the draft. They're adding big-name free agents. They're saying they have a long way to go. They're actually closer than you think. "You feel like you're doing the right thing when...

Happy New Years to everyone!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. With two small kids, I honestly didn’t even remember it was New Years Eve until I saw that everyone was closing early and I was like, what the heck? The only thing I was anticipating on Saturday was a very serious football game between Clemson and Ohio State. After the tigers ended up whooping some buckeye tail (hehe), I went to bed where my infant decided to wake and not let me lay him back down until 3 am. Any who, for whatever reason, I have really been thinking about 2017 and what I’d like to see change within myself, my family, and my business(es). I’m sure a lot of us are thinking about this so I figured what better than to write about some resolutions for the new year.

Resolution #1: My Health!!

I’m not unhealthy by any means, at least in terms of how I eat, but there are definitely some practices that I need to put in place to make my body and mind a little better. I get a little lazy/distracted/whatever you want to call it and I stop doing things that I know make me feel good. One example would be smoothies. I was buying green juices and I don’t mind doing that BUT with them costing like $6 a bottle, I could find a more cost effective solution to my need for a daily dose of greens. Interestingly enough, my friend Wendie from Pantry Doctor just wrote an ebook with 50 DIFFERENT KINDS OF SMOOTHIES!! She actually has a couple of books so you can just check out her page. I signed up for the little 5 day challenge she is having and by day 2, I was like, “oh i’m buying this book”. The smoothies are really good and they’re way different than anything I would ever do. The one I had today was:

Healthy Happy Skin

1 cup coconut water

1 tbsp coconut oil

1/2 cup pineapple

1/2 cup mango

2 cups spinach or kale

1 avocado

2 frozen bananas

1 tsp maca powder (optional)

*this is in her free smoothie ebook so just sign up and you get 5 recipes free. The book with 50 recipes is only $9.99 and I bought it because this one was so good

I also want to cut down on the amount of wheat and sugar I am eating. I’m not planning on doing an entire Whole30, but just limiting the wheat and sugar, hoping that my skin will clear up a bit. I’ve been having breakouts lately and I think it has to do with my sugar intake as well as not having the right skin care regimen. I already don’t eat dairy, not much soy (although I have been eating a little more simply because it’s too hard not to), and corn because of Alex’s intolerance. He’s slowly growing out of it but really, I feel so much better when I eat a little more paleo-esque (along with some healthy grains).

Lastly, some daily self care is top of my list. What does that look like? I’m not 100% sure. Things that I really need in my daily routine are:

  1. prayer and meditation
  2. makeup – I know that sounds vain but honestly, when I get to do my makeup, I feel better. I really enjoy doing it, I enjoy trying out trends and colors and all of that, so it’s just something I like to do
  3. movement – I’m running a 10k at the end of March so I am going to start running on tuesday, thursdays, and saturdays. Running is not something I’ve always loved but since having kids, it’s such an amazing outlet because I get some time outside, I get those endorphins going, and I get a little bit of quiet. Even if I have them in the jogging stroller, they’re usually just chilling, eating their snacks and they’re quiet.

Resolution #2: My Photography Business

This isn’t really a resolution, but more a goal. I want to start my photography business. I’m working on my website now, but I have some business ends I need to finish. I also have some really awesome, fun learning things I’m doing as well as some photography personal projects that are really exciting. Maybe the resolution part of this is to get organized. I have a planner and sometimes, I’ll actually make my plans, but then I forget I wrote them down and ya know… So yeah, do that differently.

This is the planner I bought. I really like it already!!

Resolution #3: Get Real

This is going to be the hardest one. I’ve had three different blogs in the past decade with this one being the most “professional” looking. I started my first blog because I wanted to talk about fitness and health. I started my second blog to talk about motherhood and finally, I started this blog as a marketing tool for my styling business as well as a place to help people looking to up their style game in stages of their life where it’s a little harder than it was when we were young. My challenge is this; I am not in my twenties anymore. Sometimes, I like to think I’m younger than I am, but I am not. I take a look at the fashion/style/beauty bloggers that I follow and I’ll admit, I try to emulate them in some way. Maybe it’s because I like their blogs or maybe it’s because I feel like that’s what a blog is supposed to look like. I really don’t think it’s working though. I don’t feel like my blog is growing or serving it’s purpose and I feel a little stagnant in the content I’m writing. I think that’s why Im enjoying the photography aspect so much because it feels like so much more of an extension of me than this blog does. I thought about just quitting writing it, but I really do enjoy fashion and makeup and I enjoy blogging. The question remains, how do I find MY unique blogging voice? As a mother in her late (ahem) thirties, my voice is going to be different than it was when I was in my twenties. The truth is I have experience a lot in life. I’ve done a lot of spiritual development, a lot of therapy, am raising kids, and I have a lot more depth in my personality and character than I did when I was younger. BUT I also really love talking about fashion and makeup! How do I merge the two? I have no solution for that, but I just know that I want to be as authentic as possible with y’all. I want to let go of the desire to get page views and likes on my posts. I want to stop following the “blogging rules”. The challenge of writing is that it can be edited. You want your reader to be interested in what you are saying but that takes away the element of spontaneity that happens when interacting on a human level, right? So how does one be authentic in written form? Especially on a blog about shoes? You feel me?

This is my husband and he is obviously thrilled to be modeling for me

Resolution #4: Be More Calm

I just don’t want to yell at my kids as much anymore. I know there are better ways to handle them, but I am a short tempered person with a high sense of urgency and a low tolerance for pain. Those do not mix to make a calm mother. I am hoping that with resolution #1, maybe some calm will come. I’m just going to accept the fact that I am not going to be Mother Theresa BUT maybe, with some good self care, I don’t have to be mommy dearest. (I’m assuming y’all are all old enough to have seen that movie, right?).

I mean, with faces like those, how can one get mad, right? rrrriiiiiggghhhthtttttttttt

Anyway, thanks so much for reading y’all!! Let me know what your resolutions are below. I’d really really really love some feedback so please feel free to comment on this blog, my Facebook page, my instagram, or snapchat!! Thanks so much for reading.
