activities and attractions in Keystone Colorado
Best Transportation:
Taking the shuttle? Save BIG with Summit Express! 1 to 4 passengers $55, 4 to 8 $45 more than 8 $40. This is 20% to 30% less than the same service from the big boys! Nobody can come even close to this deal!!! We negotiated the best deal for you and ZERO kickback for us.
Why Rent From Us?
We are the personal property manager of the owner. We are a local family owned business.
Conventional wisdom says that you get a better deal if there is no manager involved. This is largely untrue in a high mountain environment like ours. Either the owner is using a management service on the side and ultimately building this cost into the rate or they are leaving everything to chance. Little problems are a BIG deal at 9,000 feet above sea level and in subzero temps. We are there if you lose your key. Being locked out of your condo in sub-zero temps is no fun. This is not a scare tactic. Every year we help several hundred guests with lock-out problems.
Guaranteed Best Price:
If you like to look for deals, then help us stay current with our deals. We will pay you to do your research. If you find a better deal on a comparable property, then provide us with clear evidence and we will beat the deal by 10%.
Our rates are as good as the best you will find. You are gaining peace of mind and losing nothing. Your vacation is meant to be enjoyed. We are here to make your experience hassle free.
Fees and Taxes
We are required by law to charge tax on your stay.
We want to be clear, taxes and cleaning fees are not included in the posted rates. We will send you a quote with the breakdown of all costs, so you can see EXACTLY what you are paying.
Many of our competitors build their fees into their rate. This means that YOU are PENALIZED every day you stay with them because you keep paying for the same service over and over again.
Please make an apples to apples comparison. If you present us with a legitimate and comparable quote from someone else, we will beat it by 10%.
Things to do in Keystone:
Keystone is the premier destination for various events, festivals and one-of-a-kind attractions. These include things such as Mardi Gras, Wine Festival, Beer and Blues Festival, Full Production Concerts, Discovery Days for kids, Art Shows, a real ice castle at the top of the mountain for kids and adults to explore, panning for gold, bungee jumping, and much more. Additionally, you can enjoy Mine Tours, Historical Bus Tours, ATV tours, Four-wheel drive tours, Snowmobiling, horseback riding and sleigh rides. Check out our website for more details on events taking place during your vacation.
Activities include championship golfing (2 courses in Keystone), Mountain biking (down, not up), Wild Life Tours, the best hiking in North America, White Water Rafting, Fly Fishing, and boating, just to name a few. There also Keystone festivals almost every weekend during the summer.

The level of financing awarded to individual designer businesses varies from catwalk to presentation and exhibition sponsorship.
Mary Katrantzou is the first designer to sit on the NEWGEN panel.
"I'm thrilled Mary Katrantzou has agreed to join our NEWGEN selection
panel, as she's really our ideal poster-girl for how much an original
talent can achieve through the scheme. Mary started out selling just a
handful of printed shift dresses with NEWGEN at the first London
Showroom in Paris in 2009 - now she exports all over the world. She will add the invaluable perspective of
someone who knows exactly what it's like, and what it takes, to be a
young entrepreneurial designer. NEWGEN committee members devote hours to
advising young designers and putting them on the fast - track to
visibility, thanks to the generosity of Topshop's sponsorship and
donation of their show space. The interview stage is like the highest
level personal tutorial for promising beginners, with freely given
insights from the capital's very best retail executives, editors and
buyers who are the ace team responsible for guiding Christopher Kane,
Jonathan Saunders, Roksanda Ilincic, Peter Pilotto, J.W. Anderson,
Simone Rocha and many more through their first steps in business. Now
that we have a home-grown designer of the calibre of Mary Katrantzou on
our mentoring team, those who reach the short list of NEWGEN will come
out armed with a uniquely valuable set of pointers, and sustained
support, if they win." - Sarah Mower MBE, BFC Ambassador for Emerging
Talent and chair of the NEWGEN selection committee

About the Program
This is an English language program introduced in 2001 by the Mathematics Department of the Central European University (a US-degree granting institute of post graduate study and research, based in Budapest) in cooperation with the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics.
Scientific aspects
The title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mathematics and its Applications can be earned by 54 course credits and a dissertation, normally in 3-4 years. Courses are offered in various disciplines – while the CEU Mathematics Department's primary strength is in applied mathematics, in our Institute world-class scholars are working in many fields in the mainstream of pure mathematics, including combinatorics, number theory, algebra, topology, algebraic geometry, information theory and probability. In addition, there are other opportunities to engage in pure mathematical studies by working under the supervision of a professor at ELTE University's Institute of Mathematics. In fact, one of the great aspects of our program is that students may take advantage of the vibrant math life provided by the universities (BME, CEU, ELTE, Corvinus) and research institutions (Maths, Physics and others) all based in Budapest. In addition, CEU encourages its doctoral students to spend at least one semester at another university during the research period (preferably abroad).
For more details please check our Doctoral Program page where you can also find a complete list of Courses Offered.
Entry requirements and admission calendarSee the CEU Mathematics Department homepage for regularly updated information.
Tuition and financial aid
For students admitted into doctoral degree programs, the university
provides a full CEU fellowship for up to three
Students who receive funding from state sources or other organizations are required to declare that they are supported externally. For the duration of their external grant, such students are not eligible to receive financial support from CEU. Additionally, in those cases in which a student wishes to keep his/her employment, CEU may request full or partial tuition payment and will expect the student to be able to cover his/her living costs.

General introduction
This is a program introduced in 2001 by the Central European University (a US-degree granting institute of post graduate study and research, based in Budapest) in cooperation with Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics. Most new programs in higher education start as small programs, they need time to grow, and they make names for themselves only after a couple of generations of new PhD's are produced. This is absolutely NOT the case here. According to the program description of CEU "the program is largely based on the international teaching/educational experience of the faculty of the Rényi Institute". This modestly phrased fact means much more than one usually expects. The truth is that this PhD program has an unprecedented amount of resources from day one of its existence:
- Since the Rényi Institute is the center of the Hungarian mathematical life, the research interest of its over 70 faculty members cover nearly all major fields of mathematics. All courses are taught by internationally recognized experts.
- The faculty has always had substantial teaching experience. Almost all faculty members have years of teaching experience while working as visiting professors in foreign academic institutions.
- Researchers of the insitute serve as advisors for about ten-twenty PhD students every year.
- Researchers of the institute constitute the major part of teachers of Budapest Semesters in Mathematics, the over 10 year old successful program in teaching mathematics for undergraduates.
- The institute runs numerous research seminars. Weekly visitors are frequent. English seems to be daily language in the institute. This living international contact provides an excellent working atmosphere.
- The institute houses the largest mathematical library of the country. The stock of the library consists of almost 40.000 titles and over 800 periodicals.
- Since 1994 the Institute seats an external department of Eötvös University. Our researchers lecture at almost all universities of the country.
- Workshops and conferences organized jointly with János Bolyai Mathematical Society are regularly held in the building of the Institute. Apart from initiating joint research, these international meetings provide excellent opportunities for young researchers to meet other experts.
If you would like to study mathematics at our Institute or just to learn more about this program, please visit the homepage of the Mathematics Department of CEU, where you can find links on how to apply to the graduate programs.

i'd like to create an app for my symbian device and like to know what would be the easiest way to achieve this. Im familiar with NET. Framework development in C# and i've also written some apps in python for s60.
What i want to do:
- check if specific app is in foreground or running
- monitor touch gestures (press, swipe left, right, down...)
- start action based on upper results
What would be the easiest programm language to do this? What programm to use? QT Creator, Carbide C++? i'm kind of confused with all this QT, QML, C++ thing...

Sounds like a well planned, professional, and effective plan led to a safe conclusion of this potentially volatile situation. Compliments and respect to the officers involved. Hope the unstable man gets the help he needs.

I am one of the residents in this community and it has been an agonizing afternoon for all of us. There are still cops here making sure its safe and residents are not being allowed in. What a shocking day,
on Oct 1, 2012 at 7:46 pm
The cops are saying the man claimed to have explosives in the home. They have called in the bomb squad to investigate.

I usually brush off the congratulations that people automatically dash off in these online comments in support of the police ... or against them for that matter.
In this case it occurs to me that we should really congratulate and be proud of Palo Alto Police and others for handling this calmly and peacefully. Three cheers!
There are some places in our country that we seem to read about regularly where people who react a bit weird, slow, poor, foreign, defensive, offensive, etc end up dead and full of bullets. Let be happy that Palo Alto is still part of the calm civilized part of the world even if we could stand some major improvements.
on Oct 2, 2012 at 8:30 pm
PAPD are to be commended not only for the very able handling of this situation but for the foresight in educating themselves on responding when a person involved is not mentally stable. Good for the police to want to serve all citizens well.

SWAT team and bomb squad for an unstable man? Is there more to this story?
on Oct 3, 2012 at 10:58 am
He was armed and on countless occassions tried to start various things on fire in the complex and threatened to blow up the housing complex.
on Oct 3, 2012 at 11:14 am
Cops called in SWAT and the bomb squad because the perp claimed to have bombs and guns. Turns out he did not, but better safe than sorry, especially in a country were guns are very easy to acquire.

If this had been San Jose, I am sure the situation would have ended with one or more fatalities. The unstable perpetrator was extremely lucky to have been in PA.

More? How can you say that? Remember a few years ago in San Jose, when SJPD got a call about two toddlers wandering down East Santa Clara street? An officer discovered which condo they came from, and when their mother raised a cleaver-like vegetable peeler, he shot her to death? If that had happened in Palo Alto, the woman would never have been shot, or even tasered.
PAPD never gets trigger-happy, at least not historically, and some pretty scary situations are resolved without fatalities. It is a miracle no one was injured by this mentally unsound maniac, and that the police were able to remove him peacefully.
How is that ignorant or disrespectful?

Preschool could save money, domestic partner registry coming, mayor seeks inclusion
Universal preschool could save Cincinnati $48-$69.1 million in the first two to three years by ensuring children get through school with less problems and costs to taxpayers, according to a University of Cincinnati Economics Center study. The public benefits echo findings in other cities and states, where studies found expanded preschool programs generate benefit-cost ratios ranging from 4-to-1 to 16-to-1 for society at large. For Cincinnati and preschool advocates, the question now is how the city could pay for universal preschool for the city's three- and four-year-olds. CityBeat covered universal preschool in further detail here.Cincinnati leaders intend to adopt a domestic partner registry that would grant legal recognition to same-sex couples in the city. Councilman Chris Seelbach's office says the proposal would particularly benefit gays and lesbians working at small businesses, which often don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships. Seelbach's office says the registry will have two major requirements: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency. In a motion, the mayor and a supermajority of City Council ask the city administration to structure a plan that meets the criteria; Seelbach's office expects the full proposal to come back to council in the coming months.Mayor John Cranley plans to take a sweeping approach to boosting minority inclusion in Cincinnati, including the establishment of an Office of Minority Inclusion. The proposal from Cranley asks the city administration to draft a plan for the office, benchmark inclusion best practices and identify minority- and women-owned suppliers that could reduce costs for the city. The proposal comes the week after Cranley announced city contracting goals of 12 percent for women-owned businesses and 15 percent for black-owned businesses.Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted eliminated early voting on Sundays with a directive issued yesterday. Husted's directive is just the latest effort from Republicans to reduce early voting opportunities. Democrats say the Republican plans are voter suppression, while Republicans argue the policies are needed to establish uniform early voting hours across the state and save counties money on running elections.The Butler County Common Pleas Court ruled Tuesday that the village of New Miami must stop using speed cameras.

City Pursues Domestic Partner Registry for Same-Sex Couples
Seelbach touts measure to boost Cincinnati's LGBT inclusion score
The mayor and a supermajority of City Council backs efforts to establish a domestic partner registry for same-sex couples in Cincinnati, Councilman Chris Seelbach's office announced Tuesday.If adopted by the city, the registry will allow same-sex couples to gain legal recognition through the city. That would let same-sex couples apply for domestic partner benefits at smaller businesses, which typically don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships, according to Seelbach's office.Specifically, the City Council motion asks the city administration to reach out to other cities that have adopted domestic partner registries, including Columbus and eight other Ohio cities, and establish specific guidelines.Seelbach's office preemptively outlined a few requirements to sign up: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency by showing joint property ownership, power of attorney, a will and other unspecified requirements."As a result of a $45 fee to join the registry, we believe this will be entirely budget neutral, meaning it won't cost the city or the taxpayers a single dollar," Seelbach said in a statement.If the plan is adopted this year, Cincinnati should gain a perfect score in the next "Municipal Equality Index" from the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group that, among other tasks, evaluates LGBT inclusion efforts from city to city. Cincinnati scored a 90 out of 100 in the 2013 rankings, with domestic partner registries valued at 12 points.Seelbach expects the administration to report back with a full proposal that City Council can vote on in the coming months.

Kasich gives annual speech, Ohioans move left on social issues, OTR gets parking plan
Gov. John Kasich gave his State of the State speech last night, promising to combat Ohio's heroin epidemic, cut taxes and create jobs across the state. The speech didn't promise any new, huge proposals; instead, it focused on expanding the approach Kasich has taken to governing Ohio in the past four years. Democrats criticized the speech for failing to note Ohio's recent economic struggles, with the state now among the worst in the nation for job growth. Meanwhile, a recent analysis from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio found Kasich's proposed tax cut would benefit the wealthy.Ohioans are moving left on marijuana and same-sex marriage, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday. The poll found 87 percent of Ohioans now support legalizing marijuana for medical uses, and 51 percent support allowing adults to legally possess a small amount of the drug. Meanwhile, half of Ohio voters now support same-sex marriage, compared to 44 percent who do not. Whether the widespread support translates to ballot issues remains to be seen. CityBeat covered Ohio's medical marijuana movement here and same-sex marriage efforts here.The Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) plans to alleviate parking problems in Over-the-Rhine by adding a parking meter to every parking space in the neighborhood and asking City Council to allow residential parking permits in neighborhoods that mix commercial and residential. (Today, the city code allows residential parking permits only in neighborhoods that are 100 percent residential.) The plan would add 162 metered spaces to the 478 currently metered spaces, and 637 spaces would be designated for residents.City Council could move to officially dissolve the parking privatization plan as soon as Wednesday. What will replace the plan is still unclear, but CityBeat compared Mayor John Cranley's proposal to the parking privatization plan here.Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell says officers responded appropriately to an incident in which police shot and killed a suspect.

Income Inequality Rises in Ohio
Ohio fares better than other states, national average
Income inequality vastly grew in Ohio and other states between 1979 and 2011, but Ohio actually fared better than most other states, according to a Feb. 19 report from the Economic Policy Institute and the Economic Analysis and Research Network (EARN).Ohio's top 1 percent saw their inflation-adjusted income grow by roughly 70 percent between 1979 and 2011, according to Policy Matters Ohio's analysis of the report. During the same time period, the bottom 99 percent actually saw their income drop by nearly 8 percent.Still, Ohio's income gap isn't as bad as states like New York and Connecticut, where the top 1 percent make roughly 40 times as much as the bottom 99 percent.In Ohio, the top 1 percent's average income in 2011 was 18.1 times greater than the 99 percent's average income, below the U.S. average of 24.4.The findings show a trend reversal in incomes in Ohio and the rest of the nation. Between the late 1920s and mid-1970s, the income gap generally narrowed. It wasn't until the 1970s that the wealthiest began outpacing the rest of the country."The levels of inequality we are seeing across the country provide more proof that the economy is not working for the vast majority of Americans and has not for decades," Keystone Research Center economist Mark Price said in a statement. "It is unconscionable that most of America's families have shared in so little of the country's prosperity over the last several decades."Economists on both sides of the political spectrum blame various issues for rising income inequality, including the rise of globalization, poorly structured trade treaties, the loss of manufacturing jobs, the inflation-adjusted fall of the minimum wage, the United States' weak social safety net and the stagnant economy.In Cincinnati, the effects of income inequality are felt on a neighborhood level. While some local neighborhoods fall below a median family income of $20,000 per year, various neighborhoods' median family incomes top $100,000 per year.The massive income gap correlates with the city's 20-year disparity in neighborhood life expectancies. In impoverished neighborhoods like Lower Price Hill, residents can expect to live to their mid-60s. In wealthy neighborhoods like Mount Adams, the average life expectancy is in the mid-80s.Given the results, some advocates say it's time to adopt a new nationwide approach to the economy."It's clear that policies were set to favor the one percent and those policies can, and should, be changed," EARN Director Doug Hall said in a statement. "In order to have widespread income growth, bold policies need to be enacted to increase the minimum wage, create low levels of unemployment, and strengthen the rights of workers to organize."

Poll: Ohio Moving Left on Social Issues
Ohioans overwhelmingly support medical marijuana, plurality backs same-sex marriage
Ohioans are moving left on marijuana and same-sex marriage, according to a poll released Monday by Quinnipiac University.The poll found an overwhelming majority — 87 percent — of Ohioans support legalizing marijuana for medical uses. About 51 percent support allowing adults to legally possess a small amount of the drug. And 83 percent agree marijuana is equally or less dangerous than alcohol.At the same time, 50 percent of Ohio voters now support same-sex marriage, compared to 44 percent who do not.A plurality of voters — 34 percent versus 26 percent — also disapproved of Gov. John Kasich's handling of abortion. (In the latest state budget, Kasich and his fellow Republicans in the Ohio legislature imposed new restrictions on abortions and abortion providers.)Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,370 registered Ohio voters from Feb. 12 to Feb. 17 for the poll, producing a 2.7 percent margin of error.The findings indicate the state is moving left on the biggest social issues of the day.In 2004, Ohioans approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.Last year, a Saperstein Associates poll conducted for The Columbus Dispatch found 63 percent of Ohioans favor legalizing medical marijuana, but 59 percent said they oppose full-on legalization. (Given the different methodologies, it's unclear how Saperstein Associates' results compare to Quinnipiac University's poll.)Whether the liberal shift applies to ballot initiatives remains to be seen. This year, two groups aim to get medical marijuana and same-sex marriage on the Ohio ballot.Contrary to what polling numbers might imply, it currently seems more likely same-sex marriage will end up on the ballot this year. FreedomOhio, which is leading the effort, says it already has the petition signatures required to get the issue on the ballot in November, even though other LGBT groups, including Equality Ohio, say the effort should wait until 2016.Meanwhile, the Ohio Rights Group admits it doesn't yet have the signatures required to get medical marijuana on the ballot. The organization has until July to gather 385,247 petition signatures, which in large part must come from at least half of Ohio's 88 counties. In the very unlikely scenario the Ohio Rights Group gets all the petitions in circulation back with 36 legitimate signatures filled out on each, the organization would have about 246,000 signatures.Still, with support seemingly growing, it seems unlikely medical marijuana and same-sex marriage will remain illegal in Ohio for much longer.

Board of Elections to move, Kasich repeals one early voting week, income inequality on rise
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted on Friday ruled that the Hamilton County Board of Elections can move to a former hospital site at Mount Airy after the 2016 election, but whether early voting moves along with the Board of Elections needs to be resolved separately. The decision does little to resolve the dispute between local Democrats and Republicans about which location — downtown or Mount Airy — is better for early voters. Democrats argue downtown, as the central hub of local public transportation, best meets the need of most early voters. Republicans argue the Mount Airy facility is closer to the center of the whole county and provides free parking, which Republicans say should make up for the few bus routes that go to the neighborhood.Gov. John Kasich on Friday signed two controversial election bills that reduce the time allotted for early voting by one week and restrict counties' ability to send out unsolicited absentee voting applications. The reduction of early voting in particular raised claims of "voter suppression" from Democrats because the bill eliminates the Golden Week in which early voters can register to vote and actually vote on the same day. Republicans say the bills are necessary to establish uniform early voting hours and rules across the state. In general, both sides acknowledge Democrats benefit from more early voting access and Republicans benefit from less early voting access.Income inequality rose in Ohio between 1979 and 2011, but Ohio fared better than most states, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute and the Economic Analysis and Research Network. Ohio's top 1 percent make roughly 18.1 times the annual income as the bottom 99 percent. In comparison, the average nationwide rate is 24.4 and the rate in the two worst performing states — New York and Connecticut — is 40.Contrary to faulty reports from Councilman Charlie Winburn and The Cincinnati Enquirer, the city extensively warned residents about its decision to decertify the flood levee around Lunken Airport. In fact, Winburn in 2010 actually voted in favor of an ordinance that supported the decertification. The decision means residents in the area need to purchase flood insurance.Mayor John Cranley and other city officials plan to boost minority- and women-owned business contracts through aspirational inclusion goals set between the city and contractors. Since the city can't force businesses to meet the goals, Cranley acknowledges the city could fail.

It probably won't be a surprise to you to know that the families of Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King (their children primarily) object to Lifetime's original movie, Betty & Coretta, starring Angela Bassett and Mary J. Blige, as the title characters (Angela plays Coretta and Mary plays Shabazz).
It seems to happen every time a film based on a real-life public figure goes into production.
It premieres tonight, Saturday, February 2 at 8/7c, less than 2 hours from the time of his post, and centers on the relationship between Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King, following how they continued on as single mothers, after their husbands (Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.) were assassinated.
In a Washington Post story yesterday, Ilyasah Shabazz and Rev. Bernice King express their frustrations over Lifetime and the film's producers for not consulting with the children of both women whose lives are front and center in the film, and whose stories, after their husbands were killed, also included their children.
Both daughters strongly emphasize that the movie you will be watching tonight is fiction, and that it's full of inaccuracies, fabrications and/or stretches of the truth, and they are bothered by that.
"My mother was not a weak, timid, insecure woman as portrayed," Shabazz said. "She was regal, compassionate, strong, loving, beautiful, resilient and highly educated. That is why the Delta Sigma Theta sororities named academies all across this country after her, so others could be inspired how to turn triumph into tragedy."
Those words came from Ilyasah Shabazz. And she gives more examples, even getting very specific about certain things that most of us may not notice.
As for Coretta Scott King inaccuracies, which the Washington Post piece says the King family is deeply-pained by...
One of the basic objections was how the film suggested that Coretta Scott King accepted the accusations that her husband was unfaithful to her based on what was supposedly heard on a tape sent by the FBI to the King home. This was not the case, as the King family has said for years.
There's a longer explanation that follows which you can read in full at the Washington Post website.
But both families say that wanted to get involved in the making of the film, but Lifetime and the film's producers rejected their involvement, arguing that permitting the children to be of any influence on the making of the film could have resulted in a work that protected the legacies of their mothers, I suppose instead of warts and all stories.
"If only Lifetime had consulted us, the sisters, maybe this would be more than fiction. I am not pointing my finger solely at them, but it must be our responsibility to ensure history is properly documented," Shabazz said.
This comes up with almost every film that tells a story about a real-life public figure. I'm reminded of Tambay's November post - On Recent Biopics Of Black Public Figures - Their Legal Rights, As Well As Ethical/Moral Obligations?. And it will likely always come up, and we'll keep asking the questions about everything from filmmakers taking creative/artistic license when it comes to stories based on real-life characters, whether families of the characters (or the characters themselves, if they're still alive) should be involved in the making of these films, if certain legacies should be protected no matter what, whether movies are instructional, or should be considered instructional since, some would argue, that, in a case like this, there are many who will watch the film and believe that everything that happens really did happen exactly as it does in the film, and not everyone will rush to pick up a book or get on the internet and do their own independent research/reading to find out more.
Read the Washington Post story HERE.
By the way, Mary J. Blige is the film's producer. For all intents and purposes, the production started with her interest in it.
Malik Yoba plays Martin Luther King Jr, while, Lindsay Owen Pierre is playing Malcolm X in the movie.
Ruby Dee appears on-screen as a "historical witness" to narrate the story, "as someone familiar with the events of both their lives."
Yves Simoneau directed the film, from a script penned by Shem Bitterman.
The film is co-produced by Larry Stanitsky, with Jaja Johnson and Polly Anthony executive producing.
It premieres tonight, Saturday, February 2 at 8/7c
It's one of 3 movies headlining Lifetime's Black History Month celebration; the other 2 being Twist of Faith, starring Toni Braxton, Mykelti Williamson and David Julian Hirsh; and Pastor Brown, with Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Keith David, Ernie Hudson, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Nicole Ari Parker, Rockmond Dunbar and Michael B. Jordan.

I am watching this movie right now and what I seen so far I am very upset about what has been said. I wish that there would have allowed there children to have a voice in the movie. If my daughter did not have to watch would not have watched it.
Caryn | February 3, 2013 11:41 PM
For what it's worth Lifetime has a disclaimer that states that the film was based on true story but much of the work is fictionalized. Do people even know what that means anymore?

I think the bigger news here is that an AKA (Coretta Scott King) and a Delta (Betty Shabazz) actually got along. Wow, the women Greeks on my campus could have learned a LOT from this.

It's getting good up in here. Well, listen to the words of the producer Keep The Faith, Baby (2002). He stopped by in another post (Nina Simone) so I dragged it over here. "As the Producer of the 2002 Showtime biopic KEEP THE FAITH , BABY ( Harry Lennix, Vanessa Williams, Lance Reddick, Russell Hornsby) on the life of the legendary Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., it was vitally important to me for the family, two sides as he had two sons by his second and third wife, to be intergrally involved. That is why for marketing purposes I fought to have them designated as Co-Producers so that the audience knew that the "authenticity" of the story would not be uestioned and that they were very willing to have us tell it "warts and all", which we did" ~ That is why for marketing purposes I fought to have them designated as Co-Producers so that the audience knew that the "authenticity" of the story would not be questioned and that they were very willing to have us tell it "warts and all", which we did. ~ Geoffrey L. Garfield.
Well now, I have a few questions. I wonder if any members of the family were paid for their services? And, since the film received several awards in the black community ( i.e. 3 NAACP Image award nominations, 2 National Association of Minorities in Cable Vision Awards) I wonder if any of the family members spoke at any of the awards presentations?
On the "warts and all" tip, I saw the film (immensely enjoyed everything about it) but I wouldn't say it exposed many warts. It skimmed over a few, but it didn't make it's lunch "there". Oh no, Adam Clayton Powell Jr.'s life was full of scandal, deceit, and corruption. For the most part, the movie did a drive-by.

I found this movie to be shameful. I had fairly low expectations for the project. What I saw did not even reach my low expectations. Just really, really, sad. The acting, the casting, the writing, the directing, alllllll sub-par. And of course since so few folk read these days, tons of folks are going to get most if not all of their information on Mrs. King and Dr. Shabazz from this mediocre film.

I have to agree with Rocket; the families of these two women would make producing this movie difficult without their personal biases being involved. I work at DISH, and Betty and Coretta has given me and my co-workers a lot to talk about. Unfortunately, this airs the same time my boyfriend likes to watch his favorite sports team. We finally resolved this issue with a new DISH Hopper Whole-Home HD DVR; with it we can watch up to 4 different HD programs on different televisions at the same time. I finally ended my arguments over why my shows are more important to watch than his sports.

Rocket | February 3, 2013 12:04 AM
In general they have a point. However, sometimes family members are not the best arbitrators of accuracy when it comes to historical figures. Family members have agendas, too. Often they want the best side of the historical figure shown. But there is no point in making a film about the life of a historical figure if their shortcomings are not going to be explored. I haven't seen this film yet. But I figured it would be very "loose" on accuracy. A truly accurate film about the relationship between Mrs. King and Mrs. Shabazz would not have MJB playing one of the main characters. No disrespect. But the role of Betty Shabazz is over her head.
Wise | February 2, 2013 11:23 PM
I feel like the only person in black America who thinks Angela Bassett is far from the colored cinema second coming. And I can hardly bear to watch MJB in an interview, much less in a movie. But I'm always interested in the parts of a real story that are fictionalized for film. There's a reason producers think the real thing won't resonate or translate on screen. For that reason, I am inclined to watch.
Maria Fredericks | February 2, 2013 11:11 PM
I just finished watching the movie,and I loved it.
Miles Ellison | February 2, 2013 11:07 PM
Given the way that these movies are being made these days, the families should consider themselves lucky that Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz weren't being played by Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence. They should also consider themselves lucky that the film wasn't about some white guy who photographed them once. Considering the fact that this is on Lifetime, they're lucky that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X weren't portrayed as bigamist sociopaths with a hankering for statutory rape and domestic violence. Of course, why would anyone expect any kind of honest (or competent) portrayal in a movie made for a hack-level "entertainment" channel like Lifetime?

what is the source material for this film?
The late Manning Marable wrote a book about Malcolm X that was met with the same resistance from his family and other scholars..including the charge that Manning made a SEVERAL unsubstantiated claims.
Is this CSK and BS film SUPPOSED to be fiction?
First the "crispy chicken" fiasco , and now this....not looking good for Mary j. Blige?
Vio12 | February 2, 2013 7:41 PM
This is starting to become a running joke. First Petey Greene, then Winnie Mandela, then Nina Simone, then Marvin Gaye, and now Betty Shabazz and Coretta King. Is it simply not possible to consult or even respect the families of these legendary figures before attempting to tell their stories? It's a poor reflection on the filmmakers, the films and the subjects of these films themselves in every way possible.
Anon | February 2, 2013 6:51 PM
Of course Betty Shabazz wasn't a "timid, weak, and insecure" woman, but Mary J. Blige is. And since MJB is so green to acting, she couldn't hide that part of herself onscreen as Shabazz. We can at least rest in the certainty that the most popular depiction of Betty Shabazz onscreen is and will be Angela Bassett in Spike Lee's Malcolm X.

What Indie Filmmakers Can Learn from Kanye West
Today saw the iTunes-exclusive album release of Watch the Throne, a collaboration between rap megastars Kanye West and Jay-Z. What does this have to do with independent filmmaking? Good question. Regardless of what kind of music you listen to, I think there are some lessons to be learned from the career arc of Kanye West, as well as the digital-first distribution strategy the duo employed for today's album release. Caution: this post is not going to win any awards for organization or brevity. I'm going to ramble on here: More »

Had a great Halloween. Tons of Trick or Treating even more visits to our house from our neighbors. Plenty of Grade B Horror. Black Sunday, Twins of Evil, Horror and Party Beach, Curse of the Living Corpse, Mad Monster Party and Munster's episode Hot Rod Herman. It was a real enjoyable evening.
And now Dickens Fair workshops are tomorrow. Plus I heard a Christmas Carol on the radio. Where did this year go?

i will not be here.
i'm fine, don't worry.
Made a trip to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. A place I loathe and love both at once. It is a place fraught with contradiction for me.
But instead of discussing all of that I would like to mention that there is a stand along the Boardwalk that sells a right and proper dole whip. That's right. I said it. I don't have to wait to be in Disneyland to get a Dole whip. As far as i can tell. It is identical in taste and texture. So awesome. I do have a real weakness for the whips, and Santa Cruz is not that far from me. Just as long as the traffic on 17 is not bad (which it almost always is except fro very late at night and even then someone is invariably riding on my bumper because i'm not going 80 miles per hour down twists and turns that usually have my knuckles white.)
in other beach boardwalk news, the haunted castle has been much improved. there are various rooms or areas with different divertemente creepy themes. please don't misconstrue my praise. it still is truly horrid. i still cant stand it. but i do love it and it is easily my favorite attraction at the boardwalk.
i don't like ferris wheels now it seems. same for the sky tram. my kids love them. me? no. nope. no thank you.
i do like sitting on the beach and reading. that is just fine. i like it even if its overcast. no problem. love seeing my sisters, nieces and nephews, parents. very nice.
i like making lattes, drinks, and other bartending-like duties. this is what a husband should do for his wife or significant other.
hope you all are having a similarly enjoyable summer.
From You're Talking About Memories
I've been enjoying these little picture based instructions for recipes i've made and enjoy so I thought I'd do another. This is a tiki drink called the banana mamacow. i'm told its a combination of two drinks - banana mama and the banana cow. I believe the credit goes to Martin of the Forbidden Island and more recently of Smuggler's Cove.
I've had the drink frequently at FI and have taken to making it at home. On a hot day like today its refreshing and delicious. Its also a great use for very ripe bananas if you don't want to make banana bread.
Start with a handful of ice in the old blender. I only use filtered water in my ice cubes but i am obsessive.
Next one (or two) bananas in there.
2 oz of white rum. i didn't have any white rum handy so i used a Cruzan Aged which is not a bad substitute. My only rule is no Bacardi in this house. Sorry.
next half an ounce of banana liqueur. I use 99 Bananas. It does the trick.
now one ounce of coco lopez. i cheat and use coco real. It is more convient for me but once i get down to the bottom of the bottle i have to cut open the bottle to get at the remaining bit which is less convenient. so pick your method of hassle.
blend. my blender has a frozen drinks button which is wayy too easy. blend till it is smooth.
pour and serve. i apologize my presentation leaves much to be desired. but the drink doesn't require a lot of presentation to be good. it just IS.
Thank you Martin Cate. You rule.

From Not Going My Way
Well after much packing and unpacking i finally had my bags together. Had my passport, visa, shots. I had liquids and gels in TSA compliant amounts. Took off for the airport well in advance of my take-off time. Very nice of my wife to not only drive me to the airport but to walk me to the security line as well. Leaving is bad but if there is a good side its that it makes me appreciate Mrs. Mice.
The flight to Frankfurt was long but on the upside we had those on demand in seat entertainment systems. I watched all of Aliens v Cowboys which was tolerable and most of Anonymous which was pretty cool. I slept some but I really was not keeping track of what time it was or what time it was in Frankfurt or what. I didn't even have time to go to the restroom before I had to board my flight to Bengaluru. Though fewer hours in the air the second leg of the flight seemed much longer. Was it because there was no on -demand movies? Was it because I had less space to stretch my legs? I tried and succeeded in sleeping at least part of the time. We landed in Bangalore at 2am local time. Wow was still kinda warm and very muggy. Was very much like Florida weather. Our driver met us at the airport with a printed sign with our names. One hour drive and we were at our hotel.
It was clear when we arrived that this was a nice hotel. First thing when arriving an employee greets me with a warm Namaste. Ha ha so awesome. I feel very welcome. I must be in the right place.
The first day here started off slow, we didn't really know what we were going to do we just knew we wanted to do something fun. Our driver took us to two different markets. The problem was both of these markets were WAY too expensive. So much for him making sure we did not get ripped off. more like made sure his buddies ripped us off. nice.
First day they ask me what do i want to do. I know already. Hanuman temple. We go. we are told to take our shoes off and leave them in the car else they might be stolen. so we do. The funny thing was. My doc when i was traveling in India forbade me from going without my shoes outside. oh well. SO we get there and there is an enormous, like 2 story tall statu of Hanuman holding Ayodia. WOW. I' so happy. I think of the Ramayana and Hanuman and all his gifts of love for his best bud Rama. I think of my friend Ryan who loved the story as much as me and who got to go to India all those years ago. Who came home and made me dosas as best he could. I'm pretty much crying right there in the temple. Its really beautiful. Yes I'm getting the gaijin stare but living in the south bay i don't feel as though my experience is authentic UNLESS i'm getting that stare. So… I'm happy.
Well I've already skipped ahead a bit 2 things I needed to mention. Did not sleep that first night. just went straight on through until morning. I went down and got me some Breakfast. I felt a little like a prince at this Breakfast Buffet because they had everything. The chef even told me they would prepare a dosa for me. WOW. I was thrilled and they were shocked I even knew what a dosa was much less want one for brekkie. That was really living for me. great way to start the trip and the day. They brought me a pot of Earl Grey and a glass of OJ. Really spoiled me. I had breakfast there every morning of that trip.
Second thing that needs mentioning is the traffic. I, like everyone like to complain about the traffic here where I live. I like to complain about the traffic even more when I am driving in the greater Los Angeles area. I thought I had seen traffic. But really that was nothing, nothing compared to what i witnessed every time we got in that auto. A million scooters and small CC motorbikes swarming everywhere. No traffic lanes, no traffic lights, passing on the left, on the right. passing and wedging yourself in wherever you can go. No crosswalks. People crossing wherever they can. No right of way for pedestrians. Just complete and total traffic madness. I loved it. I was just glad as hell I was not driving else I would have burst a blood vessel in my brain and that would have been the end of me.
On the way to Hanuman temple ppl saw Krishna temple. Jutting up into the sky. So once we had visited Lord Hanuman we went to go visit Lord Krishna. The place was enormous. Painting on the ceiling like the Cistine Chapel. statue after statue of Mr. and Mrs. Krishna. sometimes in gold sometimes painted jet black. It was very intense and many young couple there.

This Good Question looks into who's obligated to get rid of the mess caused by some traffic crashes.
"Who's responsible for cleaning up after a crash?" –Randy, Fort Myers
In his email, Randy noted that replacing a tire is expensive. Spills and debris can also harm the road and the environment.
"Bottom line, it is [the responsibility of] the towing company," said Mike Cunningham, Alligator Towing.
Clean-up is included in the fees towing companies charge.
When drivers respond to a crash, they know cleaning is part of the job description. Tow truck operators told me how well they clean a road often depends on drivers giving them enough space to work.
Wreckers are considered emergency vehicles so the "move-over" law applies.
"It allows them to clean the scene, safely without a problem," Cunningham said.
There are serious situations that go beyond sweeping.
"Sometimes you have oil, some environmental concerns," Cunningham added.
Last year, a tanker truck rolled over on Interstate 75 and spilled thousands of gallons of gas.
A Charlotte County hazmat team responded because the spill exceeded 25 gallons. When liquids are involved, towing companies typically get a helping hand.
"Usually what we'll do as the Fort Myers Police Department is we call for assistance from the fire department. They'll come and they have the proper equipment to dispose of that [liquid]," said Lt. Jay Rodriguez, FMPD.
For most crashes, a broom is all that's needed.
Lt. Rodriguez also suggested drivers call your local law enforcement if you see a road that wasn't cleaned properly after a crash. Sheriff's offices and police departments contract with certain towing companies.
Randy, there's the answer.

Have you taken a look at your roof lately, because it's ice dam season and the pesky, potentially-dangerous winter nuisance has returned.
Crews are out in nearly every corner of the metro, working to melt away ice dams before they cause any real damage.
While some are still having nightmares about the winter two years ago that left large and dangerous ice dams, this year it's been milder. There are still rooftops with snow on them, leaving many homeowners hoping the cycle of daytime melting and nighttime freezing won't get out of control in the next few weeks.
"Daytime temperatures above 30, nighttime temps below freezing -- melt during the day, freezes at night," explained Joe Palumbo. "That's what causes ice dams."
When those ice dams build up, Palumbo spends time blasting scalding hot, 250-degree water and steam atop slippery, sloped roofs to chip away at the ice that shows no sign of melting on its own.
"There's almost no 'typical' in ice dam removal," he said.
The risk of leaving an ice dam alone is that the melting snow on the roof won't have a place to run off, and that can cause leaks -- or worse -- inside.
"I hear horror stories -- water into light fixtures," said Sarah Kesler, who had an ice dam removed. "Didn't want to deal with that."
Fortunately, this winter hasn't been too bad as far as ice dams go -- at least not yet.
Even so, ice is already on the mind of many shoppers visiting the local Frattalone Ace Hardware store, but the assistant store manager says most people are more concerned about icy sidewalks, driveways and parking lots at this point.

Left or right of the scramble?
Right of the yellow-blazed scramble. Maybe 400 ft or so. I did this climb a second time last summer and was bothered by less-than-solid holds on the leftwards move. But I pulled hard on them the first time and they're still there, so I guess I shouldn't have worried so much. Alas, such is Bonticou; climb with caution as you would at an alpine crag.

Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Kevin Love nearly had his second career triple-double in as many weeks with 33 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 110-101 win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
Shabazz Muhammad tallied a career-high 20 points off the bench and Corey Brewer added 18 for the Timberwolves, who have won four of five.
Markieff Morris led Phoenix with 24 points, while Gerald Green and Goran Dragic netted 19 and 16, respectively, in the Suns' second straight loss.
P.J. Tucker pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds in the setback.
Morris hit a jumper with just under 3 1/2 minutes left to give the Suns a 97-96 lead. Brewer then scored the next four points to start a 9-0 run that Love capped with a 3-pointer to make it a 10-point game with 30.9 seconds left.
The Suns missed all eight of their field goal attempts since the Morris bucket gave them the lead, with four free throws being the only points scored in the closing minutes.
"With five minutes to go in the game it's a timeout, we said the team that makes the most stops will win the game," said Minnesota coach Rick Adelman. "We were physical, rebound the ball well, and won the game."
Phoenix led by as many as eight in the quarter before the visitors clawed their way back into the game before Minnesota's late run sealed it.
There were six ties and five lead changes in the first half, as the Timberwolves led 34-28 after one quarter, but the Suns grabbed a 57-55 lead at the break.
Phoenix brought an 81-75 lead into the fourth quarter before faltering late.
"It kind of ended how it started," said Green. "They were able to get things going in the beginning and got things going at the end."
