LoginCritic Reviews for Scary Movie 5
All Critics (50) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (48) | DVD (1)
The writers are on auto pilot once more, relying on the "It's familiar, so it must be funny" routine...
Scary Movie 5 is a reprehensible excuse of a comedy and should barely be considered a film since it's of such poor quality. They don't make a dunce cap big enough for individuals this idiotic.
Railing against Scary Movie V for diminishing the series' standards would be as effective as criticising Brooke Hogan for disgracing her proud family name. And yet, the fifth instalment of the Scary Movie franchise does do that.
A boldly uninspired torrent of halfhearted slapstick, interminable poop jokes, and pointless pop-culture references, a veritable tsunami of idiocy.
Enough. Please.
This is a big waste of time, drawing one more gasp out of a series that should have given up the ghost long ago.
This franchise has steadily gotten worse and worse with #5 being the all time low.
The only thing scary about 'Scary Movie 5' is the thought of a sequel.
It's crude, gross and probably wishes it was offensive but comes across as just lazy, limp and unfunny.
Don't. Don't go see this. Don't subject yourself to this. Don't subject your brain to this. Don't give these people your money and encourage them to make more of this.
The filmmakers border on sophomoric desperation, achieving a measurable shred of humor only in the outtakes during the closing credits.
A laughter vacuum whose race to parody the likes of Mama and the new Evil Dead remake didn't stretch to writing actual jokes.
The latest installment of the slick, highly profitable parody franchise.
It's supposed to be funny, but you'd have an easier time reading a zombie's pulse than you would finding a single good laugh ...
This vapid, vulgar insult to the intelligence couldn't possibly have been tested on any focus groups. Can we all now agree that we've reached the cinematic saturation point with the rapidly-expiring, Scary Movie franchise?
If I ever have to watch another Scary Movie film, I'll give up on writing, cinema, and society forever.
For the art-house crowd, who may, I suppose, stumble drunk into the wrong theater after too much Chardonnay, there are nods to Black Swan and 127 Hours.
The scariest thing about Scary Movie 5 is that it actually made me chortle less than some of the silly horror flicks it's trying to spoof!
Lacking a single honest laugh, this is shoddy by comparison with the other Scary Movie sequels... which throws it in a pit with Transylmania, Breaking Wind and Stan Helsing.
A film composed almost entirely of jokes that were much funnier when you read them on Twitter years ago.
Audience Reviews for Scary Movie 5
Scary Movie 5 - This may be one of the worst spoof movies I have ever seen! It takes everything that was ever good or just decent about the other "Scary Movie" films and breaks the back of the franchise. It is dead dead dead. Hardly a laugh comes from this film at all. I will say that it is more clever than the hideous "30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" that came out earlier this year and attempted to make you laugh. I've seen worse films, but this is one of the worst this year by far. It's unfunny, crude, rude, and completely ridiculous. "Scary Movie 5" is not quite as bad as I think the second film is, but there is nothing good about this film besides a few gags here and there that made me chuckle and save me from killing myself out of boredom. This is a terrible film!

Evil is coming. Bring protection.
Very weak comedy movie! The worst of the Scary Movie franchise. The era of spoof and parody is dead. Let me start off by saying that I knew this film was going to be horrible from the start. I had read reviews and knew it was bad, but being so infatuated with film and theater, I actually wanted to see the movie to diagnose exactly what made it so horrible. Admittedly, there were some very rare parts of the movie that had a somewhat witty humor to it, but it was only once or twice, and weak at that. The rest of the stupid slapstick humor was just so lame and dragging. Overall, there was almost no sophisticated or witty humor, horrid acting, and it was all just plain bad. So yes, the reviews are correct, it was horrible. Don't waste your time!
Happily-married couple Dan and Jody begin to notice some bizarre activity once they bring their newborn baby Aiden home from the hospital. But when the chaos expands into Jody's job as a ballet dancer and Dan's career as an Ape researcher, they realize their family is being stalked by a nefarious demon. Together, with the advice of certified experts and the aid of numerous cameras, they must figure out how to get rid of it before it's too late.

The spoof genre is officially buried. We can confirm that now. That the end was nigh, we knew already six years ago when Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer went to the john and squeezed out the abomination known as Epic Movie. Which they proudly patted each other on the back over, packaged and shipped out to the misery of audiences everywhere. I myself saw it with my younger brother - he contracted something akin to a stomach ulcer long before the end credits rolled.
The Scary Movie series, on the other hand, has been what you'd call a guilty pleasure of mine. Jejune and IQ-depraved, no argument there, but at least I got some good laughs out of it, even from the franchise's fourth and then-weakest installment.
Film number five starts off fairly decent with an adequately amusing Benny Hill send-up performed by the poster children of all Hollywood scandals: Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen. A quick-n-easy paycheck for them both, which we can only assume they have snorted away by now.
The few chuckle-worthy jests at the film's disposal are exhausted before we even get halfway. The rest is exclusively devoted to such tasteful antics as - brace yourselves - toilet humor, fat jokes, groin kicks, slapstick and Heather Locklear repulsively giving birth on stage during a performance of the ballet classic "Swan Lake". Whew! And blergh...
A combination of Mama and Paranormal Activity has served as a basis for the plot, although any mention of story is in this case quite irrelevant. Everything between Inception to Evil Dead has become a target for ridicule, which sounds fun on paper, but the potential and many celebrity cameos of which are utterly squandered.
If, despite my warnings, your cravings for a dose of unrestrained humor won't let itself be suppressed, rather dust off your DVD collection and introduce your teenagers to great classics like Airplane! and The Naked Gun series. Or why not Hot Shots 2, now that we have Charlie Sheen fresh in subject. Any and all are a more preferable option than writhing and suffering in front of this appendicitis of a parody.
Rest in peace, thou once enjoyable genre.

Do you really wanna know how bad this movie is? "A Haunted Mansion" is comedy gold when compared to this (and that's saying something, because A Haunted Mansion was awful as well). I kid you not; this movie was really that bad. A Haunted Mansion managed to get a handful of laughs out of me (which I still feel guilty for); this movie didn't even crack a smirk on me. Do you really need to know more?
We could have rented "Epic" or "Pain & Gain" (I definitely would have picked Epic), but since the majority of the kids picked this it's what we had to watch (also, my little brother liked this movie, that's all you need to know seeing that he's the guy who also likes Epic Movie & Grown Ups).
I sat through every agonizing minute of this film, & I asked myself "WHY?!" with every random "gag" that was thrown at us (which was every 15-25 seconds) & not once did I even show the slightest hint of a smirk. It was painful to sit through. How painful? Epic Movie painful!
I can't even properly think how I can write down what I went through sitting through this crap! It's just BAD. BAD! I seriously didn't think that a Scary Movie movie could have stooped down to the level of a Seltzer & Friedberg movie.
There are numerous pacing problems, terrible acting (even for what it was going for), jokes that are nothing more than pop culture gags that were clearly done in reference from Seltzer & Friedberg films, tons of inconsistencies, lack of logic or even brains, & some of the most awful casting choices I have ever seen (Ashley Tisdale? Seriously?)
Also, RT, ask your editors to check the damn page here, the cast listed has actors that were never present throughout any of the movie.

Apache to Divest $4 Billion in Assets and Buy Back Shares
May 9 (Bloomberg) -- Apache Corp., this year's third-worst performing oil and natural gas producer on Standard & Poor's energy index, plans to sell $4 billion in assets by the end of this year and buy back shares.
Apache, based in Houston, will use initial proceeds of $2 billion to pay down debt, according to a statement today. The balance may be used to buy back as many as 30 million shares.
Apache didn't identify the assets it intends to sell and said deals may include divestitures or joint-venture agreements. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Farris said in a March 18 interview that all assets were up for review as it pursued at least $2 billion in asset sales after a $16 billion acquisition spree that began in 2010 and continued into last year.
"The asset list that we have generated, at today's prices and our market expectations, would exceed that $4 billion," Farris said on the call. "Long term, we want to have a more predictable growth profile."
Apache may be able to sell more than $4 billion in assets, Eliot Javanmardi, an analyst with Capital One Southcoast in New Orleans, said in a telephone interview.
"Investors are pleased to see Apache taking the steps they announced this morning, as it should help move the stock in the right direction," said Javanmardi, who doesn't own Apache shares and has an add, or buy, rating on them. The company may look to sell some holdings in the Gulf of Mexico and Australia, he said.
Shares Climb
Apache climbed 4.8 percent to $81.47 at the close in New York, the biggest gain since Jan. 3, 2012.
In March, Farris said a sale of deep-water Gulf of Mexico assets would depend on market conditions. Patrick Cassidy, an Apache spokesman, declined to comment on any additional assets that may be sold in a telephone interview today.
Only cash from joint ventures would count toward the $4 billion goal, Farris said on the call. Savings from a partner picking up Apache's development costs, known in the industry as drilling carry, wouldn't count, he said.
Apache reported first-quarter net income fell 10 percent to $717 million, or $1.76 a share. Excluding one-time items such as adjustments to the value of forward contracts and property writedowns, profit was $2.02 a share, 19 cents less than the average of 27 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Production Misses
First-quarter daily production equivalent to 781,819 barrels of oil missed expectations by about 1.6 percent, Hsulin Peng, an analyst for Robert W. Baird & Co. in Stamford, Connecticut, wrote today in a note to clients. Cyclones interrupted output in Australia, Apache said.
Apache operates in the U.S., Canada, North Sea, Western Australia, Egypt and Argentina, according to the company website.
Newfield Exploration Co. and QEP Resources Inc. are the two worst-performing stocks on the S&P 500 Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Index this year.

Photo of the Week: Ebola in Guinea
The Ebola epidemic confirmed by the Ministry of Health on 22 March is the first to affect Guinea. The priority of the teams is to identify patients with Ebola symptoms and isolate them, while providing high-quality care. In cooperation with the Ministry of Health, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has created isolation facilities in Guéckédou, Macenta and most recently, Conakry, where eight people have been confirmed to be infected with the deadly virus.

Feeling Special
I don't think I'm bleeding, at least not much. Tony the
stripey cat just did handsprings across the bed with my chin and neck as
gymnastics mats.
We had a long night. Louie the puppy was up at least four
times and Tony woke me up twice trying to get under the covers. I love it when
the weather turns cool and the critters want to snuggle. The second time Tony
requested to burrow along my side, Louie just happened to be under the covers
too. I interrupted my dream to speculate how long I would be able to keep my
legs and whether I would be able to get them reattached. Fortunately for me,
Tony realized this arrangement might not be the best and retreated before Louie
woke up.
I resumed my dream about the neighbors and their four lions.
The neighbors don't actually have four lions so save yourselves the gasoline
and resume spending time with your loved ones and your fine Thanksgiving
But I was thinking about the nature of pain and memory
nonetheless even as I was dreaming and the lions hopped easily over the
neighbors' fence to roam the acreage in lionlike pursuit of something other
than me or my loved ones. Tony' s springing about brought the night's events
back to mind. I thought about some of the folks I have read for recently.
In my dream, the lions were lovely and I just didn't want
them to consider me food. On waking and enjoying a bit of a lie-in to be even
more grateful for, I contrasted my dream with the readings.
"Why did they hurt me?" It's a common question. It
presumes intent that I almost regret to say is unfounded.
Tony didn't intend to hurt my chin (really, I'm fine. I can
barely tell now). He just meant to get to the other side of the bed. Even if
the dream lions had turned on me, it would not have been their intent to hurt
me. Their intent might have been to eat to stay alive or to defend themselves
against a perceived threat. I would be just as hurt, of course, but the intent
would not have been there.
Sometimes the hardest news I have to deliver to people in a
reading is that what happened really had nothing to do with them. It doesn't
negate the pain by any means. But it can be difficult for some to hear that
they aren't always the star of their own personal drama. For some that's just
unthinkable. Of course, it was personal. It happened to me, right? Well,
sometimes you are the star. Sometimes you are just part of the scenery, a vase
tipped over in the rumblings of an impersonal earthquake.
Not to pick on modern Christians, although we do and
sometimes for awfully good reasons, but the concept of having a personal lord
and savior doesn't mean everything that happens is about you. Has our modern
concept of deity arisen out of a narcissistic world? What else could make it
unthinkable and even disappointing to grasp that most of the time it isn't
about you, good or bad? Sometimes, stuff just happens.
I heard a saying recently that Fate (not determinism) may be
what other people do to you, but karma is what you do in response. And I liked
that because we do have the ability to choose. I decide to mourn. I decide to
celebrate. I decide to speak up. I decide to retreat. I decide to postpone a
decision. I decide to take something personally. I choose to take
responsibility, whether it is mine or not. I choose to ignore responsibility.
And perhaps ultimately, I choose to look at the world from another's point of
view, with their fears and pain and blind spots and hopes. Or not.
And after a while you realize that people are mostly
thinking about themselves as we are biologically meant to do. Of course, we hope each of us endeavors to rise above that.
The 9 of Wands always feels like a pause before the final
push, one last moment to exercise our ability to choose how to approach the
situation. It can be like your self-assessment in performance review. You,
leaning there on your wand, the one you selected among many wands, reflect on
the the past a moment. You can think about the pain and the struggle. Maybe
going further isn't worth it, given the energy you have left. Maybe you ignore
the bumps and just recharge a little. Your travels have as much to do with the
energy you bring to the road as the energy the road brings to you. Maybe more,
because you have a choice.
If you take yourself out of the spotlight, will you stop
being special? Isn't that just a little silly? You're just as special as anyone
else, no more, no less. Oh, perhaps a little bit more? You may then be able to
laugh and help others and take care of yourself for the next steps along the
Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes.

Robin Williams. Lauren Bacall. It's been a hard week
already. I remember looking at my horoscope natal chart, thinking about my
Saturn return and the Dramatic Voice Inside My Head pronouncing, "Now begins
the Season of Loss."
I have learned a lot from my parents and my older friends.
The really raw deal you get for being a successful old person is that you watch
your loved ones die.
If you really love life, you have a hard time seeing how any
end can be a good end. I really don't like the "live fast, die young" thing. I
was always pretty sure I wanted to see at least one more day. I had had friends
and classmates who died young, taken away too soon. Yes, in my mind Janice, who
died playing in the sand dunes while tunneling through to make a playhouse,
will always be young and beautiful. David will always be fresh-freckled, bright
and creative. Childhood friends, classmates, they are frozen in my memory, young, hopeful, laughing. And
My first Saturn return brought my mother's death. While I
had studied astrology intensively on my own in my late teens, the concept of a
Saturn return didn't occur to me the first time around. I was really busy then.
I was working full time and going to college full time. I was lucky my cats
still recognized me when I came home at night. I was going with a very handsome
man I would not marry, would not choose to and ultimately did not. I was old
enough, jaded enough to know that marriage is a financial relationship as much
as anything else. I was well fond of my feller but did not want to mix bank
accounts with him.
There wasn't anything I could do to reverse my mother's
cancer. I hated that. I wanted to be able to set things right. I was too aware
at the time that one of the reasons I chose computer science instead of
medicine was that if a computer program died, you didn't have to contact the
grieving next of kin. You just had to fix it. It was sufficiently complicated
to hold my interest but the risk was at least "nothing personal."
My mom took a long time to die. We talked about a lot of
things before she died. She had time to decide how she wanted things to go. No
funeral, she said, and had things doled out the way she wanted. She spent time the way she wanted
for the most part. She had a booth at the flea market as long as she had the
strength to do it. I spent my vacations with her those years when I didn't have
to study for finals in my progress towards making a career for myself.
My friends and I discussed whether it would be better to
know, have time and be prepared or to live right up to the last minute your
regular life and go all in a puff. I joked that I thought I'd rather have time
to prepare because there were things I needed to burn!
But that was my first Saturn return.
For my second Saturn return, I wondered what it would be.
Losing my mom was awful of course. I had not realized at the time that my brother
resented that I had continued to work and go to college while my mother was in
her last illness. He didn't know at the time that she and I had discussed
whether I should quit my job and school and come to stay with her to help her.
She said no. She told me her time was over but that I had to live.
What would be hard this time, like it was for me the first
time around? So many years ago I had looked at my own chart and noticed my
natal Saturn was in my 8th house, the house Ultimate Things like
sex, death and taxes. No namby-pamby Saturn return for me.
Now comes the Season of Loss.
It's not like people didn't die every day. They did. But as
my Saturn return approached, I became aware of those around me dying. "Kids"
from my high school class started passing away. John and Kirby, part of my
small group of friends in high school, both died of colon cancer. They weren't
the only ones. It seemed like a lot of the guys I went to school with had colon
cancer. What was it? We all lived in a small town in New Mexico, drank the same
water and, at least some of them smoked the same weed. Pesticides? Unrelenting
sunlight? The dust in the wind from the west? A lifetime of junk food? Or just…
our age, our time, the Season of Loss? Any of those. All of them. None of them.
Elders from my circle of friends, friends of friends have
begun to leave for the next life. No matter whether a life was lived piously
and with prudent self-restraint or whether the mortal coil was played in so
hard, so often, so well that it seemed remarkable to have lasted so long, now
that I have reached my crone years, my lovies are checking out.
I remember my father's ennui at 90, not so long ago, when he
kept asking why he was still here. His adorable wife, my step-mother Noni had
left too soon, burned up by lung cancer, and she, a woman who never smoked. His
play-mate was gone. Everyone was astonished. Even he expected to die before
her. No one expected her to die…maybe ever. She liked to dance and sew and
garden and cook healthy meals. She avoided playing stressful games around the
dinner table after meals and so excused herself from our pleasantly cutthroat
rounds of Hearts. But go she did, sweet woman, waiting until my sister and I
had arrived that evening to make sure Daddy was well-cared for.
I learned a hard lesson, that the gift of a long life means
you watch those around you leave before you. It taught me the value of my
natural habit of making diverse friends with young and old, people from many
backgrounds. At the end, if all you'll eat is macaroni and cheese and there's a
pasta shortage, you won't be a happy camper.
I steel myself for the Season of Loss. I don't favor ending
my own life, but I can't be angry at people who choose that. Now, instead of
feeling the need to burn things before I go, I think I would be satisfied just
to find them! They're probably in the garage. They may have been thrown out
long ago. But I have started to prepare, just a little, should I be taken
unawares, reminded by the recent loss of friends and by the elegant Lauren
Bacall, that what you have, including your story, is no longer yours when you
go. Death harvests one life with the swing of the scythe and moves on; you go
to your next adventure. What remains belongs to the rest of us.
Robin Williams' daughter Zelda quoted Antoine De Saint-Exupery's book "The Little
Prince," "You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them… In one
of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it
will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night… You
– one you – will have the stars that can laugh."

Striving Artist
It occurred to me how many of my friends are artists of one
sort or another. My friend Beth Seilonen just spent ten days' wonderful summer
vacation with me. She spent much of the time in my back yard in the creative
process, painting delightful one-of-a-kind boards, pins and boxes into "spirit
boards" complete with little planchettes. More than just her own creative mind
at work, her spirit of giving was in play too, since these items are all
fundraiser items to support this year's 2014 SF BATS.
We laughed at how I had her chained to the picnic table all
week. In fact, my "artist in captivity" effort was a little more participative.
We visited Michaels stores in three different towns, all with just a little bit
different inventory of omigoshes and gotchas that inspired Beth to spend her
days in the shade of my pink crepe myrtle up to her elbows in paint.
The results are heart-warming, too. At the recent SF BATS
Fundraiser event, three of the big boards sold, including a masterpiece
friendly fruit bat board with a swirling lacy paper background layer. It looks
like the whorls and eddies of the depths of divination. One of the beautiful owl figural boards sold,
plus a box (perfect for runes) decorated with bats flying around the sides with
the familiar letters and numbers, Yes and No on the top.
Beth Seilonen's SF BATS Spirit Board 2014 |
Beth has just a few more of these available for sale, still
with proceeds split to SF BATS, along with her joyous, jolly, irreverent Compound
Tarot, a 78-card black and white deck featuring the denizens of the mythical
Compound that is the Mother House for Daughters of Divination's Facebook group.
This Facebook group was recently made a secret group to facilitate its worldwide
membership's postings of fun and lampooning. One new member wondered where the
divination was and we all chuckled reading the question. There are lots of
social media groups dedicated to serious divinatory queries, business tips for
professional readers and practice readings for students. This group, however,
is the haven for diviners in serious need of blowing off a little steam. While
a dedicated subgroup gets their spectacles steamed up over current favorite
hotties like Cumberbatch and Hiddleston, care is taken to assure the whole
thing does not go overboard into completely poor taste (although some would
dandle dangerously close to the edge of that cliff), all in good fun.
In addition to having my visiting artist-in-residence for
the last few days, my back yard has hosted the neighborhood children in their
demand for Craft Day. First, I led my Ventura Street Irregulars in a slapdash
paint-your-own-mini-birdhouse day with the kids on the block. Even the
two-year-old got her hands into the mix, happily making handprints on whatever
was in front of her.
Today, I had to work, but that didn't stop Beth and her
daughter Anna from having the kids over for another round of paint-your-own-box
and everyone brought home a treasure.
It was little enough for me to devote my old picnic tables
and plastic table cloths, a basket full of paint, glitter and sticky foam
things to let artistic imagination run loose. Those were the days I loved best
as a child. What a joy to give that to someone else!
I've always loved the idea of creating something beautiful.
As a child, my favorite toys were crayons, Cray-Pas oil pastels, mosaic tiles,
my father's drafting tools, water colors, rubber stamps and stickers, looms and
lanyard supplies. If you could make something with it, I loved it and spent
hours making anything from Play-Doh ashtrays to troll doll quilts.
When I was in junior high, my father was smug and delighted
to be able to enroll me in college-level art classes at the university where he
taught. I was pleased to be treated like just another college student and
worked hard for the A's in my courses. While I faced the endless repetition of
the same inaccurate history classes year after year during the regular school
year, at least my summers were full of stretching my wings artistically. Dr.
Acker taught me how to see, not just look at things, but to see light and dark,
shape and motion, perspective and just a little abstraction. But there I also
found my limitations and realized that as much as I love art, I'm probably not
an artist. Perhaps more valuable than finding my limits was learning that I
could help artists and bask in the creative glow.
One of my early "discoveries" was a young man in Illinois
named Gerard Erley. He showed pastels in the summer sidewalk art shows. I loved
his work. I bought lots of it. I knew he had "it" whatever "it" is. I gave him
my sage advice, as a collector of art: "Gerry, you may do any kind of artwork you
like, but if you want it to sell, you need to sell it to people who have not
had the art education you have. They may not see the nod to Sargent in your
portrait. But, if you paint landscapes and still life, something they
understand, people will buy them. Because you make Illinois look like someplace
someone would want to live."
I think he laughed at me at the time. But I like to think
something I said may have meant something to him. He grew in his artistry and
now is an esteemed professor whose breath-taking work commands high prices from
eager collectors. He makes this world look like someplace someone would want
to live. And I am "house proud" of my collection of "early Erleys".
Over the years, I've found wonderful friends in the arts.
Sallie Evans is an artist and miniaturist whose impossibly tiny needlework has
graced magazines and shows. My friends Kristine and Shotsie Gorman are both
artists in multiple media, now living in Sonoma, California with their latest
opening blending tattoo, tarot and painting to create a vibrant and open
atmosphere for the arts in a beautiful place, a resort within a resort, Shotsie & Kristine's T.A.T. Gallery. Rebecca
Wrigley, a former Disney illustrator, had the seed of an idea for a Tarot deck
and while that project is still "in the works," the spurt of creativity gave
her one of the boosts she needed to complete her first novel. And my friend
Nancy Truax is the art teacher at our local Catholic high school, leading her
honors students to create lasting community art works such as mosaic picnic
benches in a nearby public park, a mural to give community youth hope and
inspiration and becoming Teach of the Year. And I have countless talented
friends creating Tarot and Lenormand decks with their unique points of view,
their special vision of the world and understanding of its signs and meanings.
What can I do? My own talents fall short of my wishes, but
that doesn't stop me from trying. I can provide that creative space for others,
sponsor their efforts, showcase their beautiful results, and plant the seeds of
possibility in the hearts of artists and their champions all over. I can be the
Ace of Wands, the inspiration to keep going and growing, encouraging artists of
all ages to flower in the expression of the human spirit.
You can too. Sponsor the arts. Turn your favorite starving
artist into a successful striving artist today.
Best wishes!

The Key of D
You know Global Warming? Local warming is about all I can
handle right now, although I'm a staunch advocate for the environment. No
arguments, please! My blog, my point of view. You can write a blog if you want,
OK, now that that's out of the way, this local warming thing
cropped up yesterday. It was a warm and strangely, for Northern California
anyway, muggy afternoon. I had a big plastic cup of ice water on my desk to
keep body and soul together. And I was working.
I was on the phone, nothing unusual, and trying to explain
the next step in a process.
Mom used to tell me that if she needed me to be quiet, all she had to do was ask me to sit on my hands. Sad to say, I resemble this remark. As much as my feet and my brain seem to have no relationship with each other whatsoever, rendering me hopeless as a dancer and probably leading to my many unscheduled flights down stairs all over the USA, my hands apparently are directly connected to my mouth.
This flailing about has gotten me into some small trouble
all my life. I was always first to tip over my orange juice on the kitchen
table in the morning at breakfast. My one satisfaction about this is that the "flail
gene" seems to have come from my father's side of the family. One time my
half-sister was visiting our Dad while I was there too and she tipped over her
orange juice at the table.
"Hey!" I shouted, shocked, jumping up to grab the paper
towels. "Hey, that's MY line!"
"You, too?" She asked in dismay and realization that what
might have been dismissed as sheer coincidence was now confirmed to be a
familial curse.
Well, you can probably see where this is leading. As I was
in animated discussion with a co-worker about the workings or non-workings of a
particular aspect of the system, it happened. I hit that cup of ice water and "thar'
she blows."
I'm still on the phone, ever the professional if not
completely coordinated, grabbing my brand new work laptop up from the storm
surge of ice water. I unplugged it immediately, turned it upside down on my
chair to let gravity be my friend—for a change—and completed my phone call.
Then dashing to action like the Knight of Swords, I grabbed
the electronic brain in soggy distress and headed to the bathroom.
I know this is counter-intuitive. Just bear with me.
From past experience, since sadly this isn't the first time
that electronics and liquid have met under my wild gestures, I have learned
that speed is essential in rescuing the drowning laptop.
I grabbed my hairdryer, tilted my victim on its side and
applied heat and air until the drips stopped and no evidence of moisture
Back at my desk I plugged that baby back in and was pleased
there was no smoke and all the keys…well, there was the issue, you see.
That D key felt funny. It wobbled. It slipped off its
moorings and into my hand, leaving the stump of the tooth exposed like a raw
Since denial is the first stage of mourning, I tried to fit
the D back in place, then inspected it more closely. It had melted, a case of "friendly
fire" during the drying out process and was now too deformed to sit securely in
place, let alone be usable to type the letter D. Salvaging what I could of the
situation, I was happy to learn that in spite of the button being ruined, the
stump of the key will produce the letter D reliably. I hadn't actually ruined
the computer, only that one letter.
Well, now, how to remedy this?
I called the Help Desk. You know Help Desks. They are
populated with eager people from other countries whose accents or volume are
such that a deranged technology victim cannot understand them. This leads to
the victim often being rude to the poor Help Desk person. I work hard not to be
rude to the people who are trying to help me.
"You want deekee?" the earnest young woman in Costa Rica
asked me. "What application on your laptop is deekee?"
Many answers spring to mind, none helpful.
"No, I need the chicklet that says D."
"You need chickee deekee? I do not know that application,"
she says, uncertainly.
"No. Sweetie. Look at your own keyboard that you have under
your hands right now. Find the letter D. See the little plastic thing with the
D on it? I need that, just that."
"When you will in Irvine be? Technician will give you
"No, that won't do. I'm an 8 hour drive from Irvine. It's
like two whole countries away. I need you to send me a D key. I'll put it on
"Oh, I can only have technician fix your deekee," she says,
and I wonder how on earth I can keep a straight face with this conversation. "You
have to order deekee yourself to do yourself."
I'm silent for a moment. At least my hands are still and
there is no ice water nearby. I consider finding what's left of it and pouring
it over my head for relief.
"I close your ticket now, ok?"
"Sure. Thanks for your help."
I go to the self-service application and find that I could
order the D key or a whole keyboard at any rate but they will not ship it to my
home. It has to go to one of my company's offices. That's the 8 hour drive. I
reminisce on how technology was going to make people's lives easier.
I send an email to my co-worker Alicia in North Carolina, begging her to
send me a replacement D key. She refers it to her local Technician who
good-naturedly offers to mail me the necessary item. I thank him profusely,
noting that he would not believe the hilarious conversation I had with the Help
I now await delivery so I can fix my D key myself. I think I
need a break.
Best wishes.

Next Page
My friend and co-worker is the Page of Wands. At least, that's
how I think of him. He was hired as a replacement for another friend of mine,
really good guy and very smart, who was laid off, mostly because he didn't want
to move and take a cut in salary doing it. While I miss the guy who got laid
off, because he was so knowledgeable about the business and an all-around good
guy, I like the new guy. But they can in no respect be considered equivalent
My buddy the Page of Wands, or PoW as I will call him here, is
struggling a bit with his job. He's expected to know systems that haven't been
documented, turned over, demonstrated, kept updated or otherwise even tickled
in years. Because his title is Senior Business Systems Analyst, he's just
naturally expected to know all this stuff. This is dangerous, but at least PoW
has an awareness of the danger. That's one of the reasons I like him.
Picture Postcard Tarot (c) Copyright 2010 Marcia McCord |
For instance, if you knew a guy who was a Senior Pilot and
you plopped him down in, say, an Alien Aircraft, where the knobs were meant for
differently shaped hands and what little labeling on the control panel was in a
language that nobody knows, would you feel safe? After all, the business
requirement here is, "Fly this thing and land it safely where we want it to go."
He's a Senior Pilot. He should know how to fly, right? Except, he's never seen
anything like this. And no one can help him. Feel safe?
"Who is your business user?" I ask him, suddenly afraid for
him and anyone else near the Alien Spacecraft that is the software he's
supposed to specify, describing in detail how it functions and how it should
function and what users can do with it if they are a certain role and what they
can't if they aren't and all that.
"You are my business user," he replies, with all the faith
of a puppy.
"Yeah, but…I don't KNOW anything about this stuff," I
protest. "There has to be someone who wants you to do this besides your boss,
Most of the time that's true. Every once in a while,
something bad will happen in software development and someone in technology
management will decide they know how to make a better system than the business
users do. While that in itself isn't a bad thing at all, 'if it ain't broke,
don't fix it' is usually the business appetite for such a project. Sometimes,
and I have worked at these places in the past, sometimes the technology
management needs to prove that the system needs to be on a different, more
up-to-date technology platform. Say, you could do this from your Dick Tracy
watch, right? But the system isn't really suited for a watch-sized user
interface or the people who are going to use it every day don't have and don't
want Dick Tracy watches, etc.
I'm trying to make a sometimes complex idea easier to
understand here. I don't think anyone is asking my buddy PoW to do things on a
Dick Tracy watch. At least, I hope not. Just given the high-level nature of the
system, watches would be the wrong user interface. Just sayin'.
Lucky for PoW, there is a business user to talk to. I'm
hoping this helps PoW but it may not.
He admitted to me that he was expected to know a lot of
stuff he doesn't know. When he applied for the job, it was as a Junior Business
Systems Analyst but they hired him as the Senior Business Systems Analyst. Now,
his bosses have expectations of him that he never meant to convey that he could
So we have two mistakes here: one, the bosses hired a junior
guy to be a senior guy and are now disappointed. Two, the junior guy said yes
to the job offer. Now they are both stuck.
I'm not saying PoW can't learn. Pages are students. Students
learn. PoW is the Page of Wands not because he is the slickest thing since
sliced bread, but because he has a really limited attention span. He can absorb
information in small chunks at a time. He's not good with slogging through vast
folds of information, separating the bullhockey from the puck, so to speak,
plodding through on his own to come up with the Right Answer. He's thrilled if
he's told, "Go get the widget; it's in the left rear corner of the blue box."
He will bring it right back, no problem.
Pretty soon, if you take some time with him, he gets why the
widget was there, why "left" and "rear" and "blue" were important and
meaningful. He learns as he goes. But it's a long distance between the Page of
Wands and the Magician.
Is he set up to fail? Maybe. To mean that means that there was
some diabolical plot to make PoW's life miserable specifically. Seriously? I
doubt anyone has done that. Stalkers and sociopaths might do this, but
generally people in business situations have a "nothing personal" thing going
on. In fact, to PoW's dismay, they may not be thinking of him at all. After
all, no one cares about your career, working conditions and personal comfort
like you do, so no one is likewise looking to upset those things. The bosses
are likely thinking about their own career, working conditions and personal
comfort, right? PoW's situation may have just wandered into their path nearly
by accident. I say nearly, because management is supposed to pay some attention
to employees. The attention isn't always what you'd like, of course.
The upshot is of course that PoW is in over his head and he's
not the only one who suffers for it. We all have to pull together to make up for
the gap in his experience and confidence. Often the business users, the people
with their hands on the keyboard or other user interface of a system, are not
particularly skilled at software analysis. If they were, they might be doing
software analysis instead of whatever the topic of the system is. And yet,
without some grounding in the business topic, it's hard to ask the right
questions to get at the right answer.
As much as today's business leaders would like to think that
one business analyst is much like another, that just isn't the case. People
aren't interchangeable parts. As much as business wants it to be true, you can't
trade a "60" in for a "30" and get the same productivity. The loss of
productivity is often greater than the salary cost savings of a
less-experienced person. The problem with this is that the people who made the
decision to hire the junior guy and make him do a senior job are the people
least likely to be burdened with the gap in ability. It's the other people in
the group who are charged in different roles with making a project successful
that carry the burden of the less experienced Deer in the Headlights like my
buddy PoW.
Don't call PoW stupid or untalented. That's not fair. He meant
to be junior. His big mistake was saying yes to the job offer. The stupid or
untalented tag is apt for the people who were not paying enough attention to
the true skillset needed to do the job and, dutifully following directions,
hired someone with the right salary range, period.
Don't ask me either why software development costs are not reduced
when underqualified candidates are charged with doing the job of a senior resource. In the meantime,
I'm helping my buddy be the person his boss wishes he magically were. There's only so much I can do.
Best wishes.

What do you think of the name Nero?
A woman at my Antenatal class and she's about to have baby #3 and they are 100% going to call him Nero. Now, I actually like the name Nero if you ignore all the connotations, but I would never actually name a child that, I mean, it's just cruel. I mean, I guess it's kind of fitting, since there other son is named Scipio. I still think it would be a definite no-no for me though.
But what do you guys think? Would you ever considering naming a child Nero?

The fact that is sounds so much like zero makes me dislike it more than anything else. Though I must admit, it could potentially be a unique and likeable name for a boy to wear.

I like the name. In Italian it's the word for Black, so it has a dark quality to it (har har) but was also the name of en emperor, so for me it carries a little weight. I don't think it's a bad idea.

Absolutely not. It may have a cool sound, but I agree, it sounds like "zero" (but I love Hero as a GP, so I don't know why that would matter to me). I think my main issue was how terribly he treated Christians. I may not have a perfect understanding of history, but it was clear he had it out for the Christians at that time, and I wouldn't want to honor that type of negativity and hate, no matter how cool the guy's name might have been. I think it'd be really hard to wear, as well, but it does sort of have a cool sound. I do think that Scipio and Nero work pretty well together, though.

Another post, sorry if this has already been asked/answered but I am looking for suggestions on what to go with for staining/varnishing stalls.
I have heard of using Tung Oil, Linseed Oil (mixed or not mixed with turpentine), Watco Danish Oil, and various varnishes. I would love to hear what people have used and what they love/can't stand about the various options.
I definitely don't want anything that makes the wood too dark though. I also want something that maintains well and doesn't look terrible as soon as it gets a chip/ding, etc in it!
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Arizona Cardinals
Updated Jan 14, 2014 - 8:53 am
PFT names Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim Executive of the Year
The folks over at the popular website ProFootballTalk.com are handing out their postseason awards.
Tuesday, they named Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim as their Executive of the Year.
Keim, in his first year in the position, engineered a hefty roster overhaul that helped the Cardinals increase their win total from five in 2012 to 10 in 2013 -- a total that narrowly missed the playoffs.
In his first year of running the show, the former N.C. State offensive lineman expertly blended the desire to win now with the importance of building for the future. The acquisition of quarterback Carson Palmer helped make the team a postseason contender, and late offseason moves for tackle Eric Winston and pass rusher John Abraham gave the team enhanced veteran leadership and an affordable infusion of talent.Keim also got the steal of the 2013 draft by landing Tyrann Mathieu in round three. (Running back Andre Ellington in the sixth round wasn't bad, either.)
Keim was chosen over Seattle's John Schneider, Kansas City's John Dorsey, San Francisco's Trent Baalke, Denver's John Elway and San Diego's Tom Telesco.

If you want to build applications that take full advantage of Windows Vista's new user interface capabilities, you need to learn Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This new edition, fully updated for the official release of .NET 3.0, is designed to get you up to speed on this technology quickly. By page 2, you'll be writing a simple WPF application. By the end of Chapter 1, you'll have taken a complete tour of WPF and its major elements.
WPF is the new presentation framework for Windows Vista that also works with Windows XP. It's a cornucopia of new technologies, which includes a new graphics engine that supports 3-D graphics, animation, and more; an XML-based markup language, called XAML, for declaring the structure of your Windows UI; and a radical new model for controls.
This second edition includes new chapters on printing, XPS, 3-D, navigation, text and documents, along with a new appendix that covers Microsoft's new WPF/E platform for delivering richer UI through standard web browsers -- much like Adobe Flash. Content from the first edition has been significantly expanded and modified. Programming WPF includes:
WPF represents the best of the control-based Windows world and the content-based web world. Programming WPF helps you bring it all together.

the place is great I had a wonderful time there. It's great that the space is devided to different zones so you can find the dancefloor with the music you like/ You can always go to rest for a minute from dancing to lounge zone or the restaurant.

I wonder why this place has such a high ranking. It looks good inside and is big enough, but the atmosphere... We went on Saturday night, and there were not so many people there, mostly students, some of them were already completely drunk and annoying. I watched videos from previous parties and it looked really nice, so I was disappointed.
inside the music was terrible dancers all messed something we hired someone lodges were doing service in a rough way we want something from us was not interested staff very rude blonde girl standing in the entrance was nothing I did not like
One of the worst club i have even been to. First of all bouncers are idiots. no selection at all. They dont like foreign people. If they realised that you are foreign you can have serious problems. Prices are of course in ukrainian, if you count how much you spend for a pint of beer you can have a headache.... More

I really like the mixed locations, indoor and outdoor, the fact that you can sit and talk or go dance, the photobooth, the bar outside with this awesome drink called Cocks (Absinth, Vodka, Sambucca).. The prices are fine, the people are very nice and it's the best club I've been to in a very long time! PS: There is food... More
The best thing about this place is that it has different rooms that play different music. The party doesn't kick off until at least 11:45 pm so plan accordingly. The crowd is pretty young (university age) with a sprinkling of everyone else, but that doesn't really matter because everyone comes here to dance. There are plenty of little seating areas... More
