Have you ever been on a hike and been surprised at the beauty of it? That happened to me a couple of weeks ago, when I hiked the Peek-A-Boo loop in Bryce Canyon National Park, while I was celebrating my 29th Birthday.
I have been Bryce Canyon a handful of times in the last few years. I am always excited to go, but by the end I am bored with the same views of the amphitheater from the roadsides view points. In years past I hae done a couple short hikes but nothing blew me out of the water. Peek-A-Boo loop did it for me. I truly felt like I was wondering through a movie set, or Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride (I just read on wikipedia that Bryce's hoodoos were the inspiration for the ride).
The hike begins as a steep down hill from Bryce Point, which affords gorgeous views of the amphitheater as you are making your way down. I started out my hike at about 8:30am and was one of only a hand full of groups out hiking. After about 1 mile you reach the junction for the Peek-A-Boo Loop. Choosing which direction to hike may not seem like a big deal, but a thing to remember about this trail is that it is also used as a horse trail, with 1-2 groups of horses an hour walking clockwise. Choosing to hike against the horses (counter-clockwise) means you will not have to follow packs of smelly horses.
The loops length is not crazy long, topping off at 5.5 miles long. One of the great things about the hike is that it has easy access to the Navajo (1.3 miles), and Queens Garden (1.8 miles) trails which you can add-on to your hike if you want to be out longer. Navajo and Queens Garden are two of the busiest trails in Bryce. There was a noticeable difference in people on these two trails, than any of the other trails that I hiked in the park. While being on a busy trail may make for some great people watching (I am always flabbergasted at what people hike in), but they never give me the sence of solitude that I look for in National Parks.
I did brave the crowds of the Navajo trail and hiked up to sunset point, refilled my water bottles (Bryce has awesome water bottle stations) and headed back down to continue on the Peek-A-Boo.
One of the best and worst things about the Peek-A-Boo loop is it goes up and down, up and down, the entire loop (see trails profile below). This is awesome in the it affords great perspective of the hoodoos and amphitheater, but it is a killer on the glutes and calfs.
If you have ever been to Bryce Canyon you know that it is a busy park. But I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of people out on the trail. There were still plenty of groups out hiking, but I never had to feel embarrassed if I stopped to huff and puff or if I set of a tripod selfie. It does help if you hike counter-clockwise, not only do you not have to follow the stinky horses as I mentioned above, but most people hike clockwise so you also skip over them!
The Peek-A-Boo loop is not to be missed if you are in Bryce Canyon! If you have a morning free get your hiking boots on and enjoy the prettiest hike the park has to offer!
Length: 5.5 miles Elevation Gain: 1555 feet (473 m)
Have you hiked Peek-A-Boo loop?
Do you think it is the prettiest hike in Bryce Canyon?

First let me say, thanks for the awesome download. Unfortunately, I'm having problems. I was able to open this file a handful of times from my flash drive on my windows 7 64x computer. No Problem. Now, I can't open it at all...it doesn't even load. The first time I attempted to open it (w/ it giving me problems), I got error 16. Tried opening as administrator to no avail. Now, I'm not getting anything... no error code, no splash screen. However, my task manager indicates that the process is running. I'm not running any other Adobe processes while I'm doing this. Suggestions?

u was able to run and use it so it's ok! i rly dont know wut happened then, smth wrong in ur machine i think, the portable exe remained the same.. maybe try to clean the temp folders in /user/appdata/local/spoon/sandbox/[fireworks or smth like this] then try to run it again - hope it helps :)
- Jan 5, 2013, 6:56:00 PM
ho questo problema: scompatto tutto senza problemi, ma lanciato il .exe non succede niente... neppure un processo attivo.. niente.
Ho Windows8 64bit.
Ho già provato a pulire sotto \user\AppData\Local\Spoon\Sandbox, ma niente.

strano perche i programmi adobe portable funzionano alla grande se fatti con spoon come faccio io, se non va di solito è perché non sono installate le vcredist, ma installandole si risolve tutto.
nel tuo caso che hai windows 8, mi pare che con questi programmi adobe non dovrebbero esserci problemi anche se portabilizzati su 7, però boh sai, prova a installare le vcredist 2010 o 2012.. quelle x86 perché il programma è x86! :)
- Jan 14, 2013, 6:09:00 PM
It works on wine in Linux... just not perfect or maybe my system is slow... need to open it with PlayonLinux...it will install it on linux as a folder... Thanx a very useful download

hey bro thanks for the portable, but is not running on my windows 8 64, it gives me the error of the application was unable to load a required virtual machine component.....what technic are you using to make them portable?? may be i can find out what the problem is...
- Oct 1, 2013, 1:19:00 AM
- The House of Portable said...
I used spoon studio to portabilize it, but maybe it's fireworks that's not compatible with w8, I'm not sure the old cs6 stuff is compatible with it, and unfortunately they discontinued the fireworks development so there's not a newer CC version. :(

su windows 8.1 non riesco a farlo funzionare, clicko 2 volte e vedo che il programma si apre nei "processi in background" salvo chiudersi dopo qualche secondo...

Purtroppo adobe ha smesso di sviluppare fireworks nel 2012 rilasciando l'ultima versione cs6, che però non era compatibile con il giovane windows 8 e tantomeno con il 8.1.. :(

From NY to FL to CT: One girl's adventure to realize it's okay to be alone
Sometimes, even at the ripe age of 23, I look back on my dating life and say to myself, "What was I thinking? No, seriously, what?" I've always been the kind of girl to be in a long-term, committed relationship. I've never had flings, or one-night stands, or any of those things that people cringe […] [Read More]

Spurs opt to pay Daye
By Jeff McDonald : June 30, 2014 : Updated: June 30, 2014 10:08pm
Photo By Jerry Lara/Express-NewsSan Antonio Spurs' Austin Daye goes between the defense of, from left, Los Angeles Lakers' Wesley Johnson, Ryan Kelly and Robert Sacre during the second half at the AT&T Center, Wednesday, April 16, 2014. The Lakers won 113-100.
Austin Daye will have a fully guaranteed salary next season.

Photo By San Antonio Express-NewsSan Antonio Spurs' Marco Belinelli heads up court during first half action against the 76ers Monday March 24, 2014 at the AT&T Center.
SAN ANTONIO — When the clock struck 11 p.m. Monday in San Antonio, the sound you heard was Austin Daye exhaling.
When the day ended with the 26-year-old forward still on the Spurs' roster, the entirety of the $1.063 million he is owed next season became fully guaranteed.
Had the Spurs opted to waive him before Monday's deadline, Daye would have collected $250,000 and become an unrestricted free agent.
The Spurs' move to keep Daye came as a bit of a surprise.
A slender 6-foot-11 shooter, Daye appeared in 14 games with the Spurs after the Feb. 20 trade that shipped Nando De Colo to Toronto. He spent most of the team's playoff run to an NBA championship on the inactive list.
Daye averaged 5.4 points for four teams in the five seasons since Detroit drafted him No. 15 overall in 2009.
Daye's last appearance in a Spurs uniform was a six-minute stint in Game 2 of the team's first-round series against Dallas on April 23.
He scored in double figures three times for the Spurs in the regular season, including a 22-point performance in a March 24 victory over Philadelphia that flirted with a career high.
With Daye apparently back in the fold, the Spurs had 10 players under contract when free agency began late Monday night. It is expected they will eventually bring that number to 11 by signing first-round pick Kyle Anderson to a standard rookie-scale deal.
That leaves the Spurs with a maximum of four roster spots to fill as free agency dawns.
Four players off last season's roster — forward Boris Diaw, guard Patty Mills, forward Matt Bonner and center Aron Baynes — became free agents Monday.
The Spurs have made Baynes a $1.15 million qualifying offer, giving the team the right to equal any offer he receives.
If the Spurs bring back all four, they will have hit the roster limit.

Author information
Emmanuel Guibert's most recent book for First Second was the critically acclaimed Alan's War, the memoir of a WWII G.I. His close friendship with Didier Lefevre inspired him to combine art and photography to create this momentous book.
Review quote
"An unflinching and gripping photographic memoir, the Photographer takes you on a breathtaking journey through the best and worst humanity has to offer in times of war. Turning its pages, the reader begins to understand what it means to lose everything as a refugee of war, to cross mountains to help someone you never met, to feel the intense responsibility of being the only one able to capture the last moments of a child's stolen life. Suddenly Afghanistan, a distant land, a foreign culture, a courageous and resilient people seem closer, more familiar--more human. I love this book."--Angelina Jolie, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador "The Photographer is a work of stunning originality and power. It seamlessly blends personal storytelling, photography, and illustration to reveal the essential work of Doctors Without Borders. It is to Didier Lefevre's immense credit that he risked his life to bring that story to light. This amazing work gives us a window into the suffering and perseverance of the Afghan people. Above all else, it is a truly inspiring piece of work." -- Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm "One of the most amazing publications I've ever read." -- Rachel Maddow, MSNBC "There is no fighting in this book. No great warriors are exalted. The story is about those who live on the fringes of war and care for its human detritus. By the end of the book the image or picture of a weapon is distasteful. And if you can achieve this, you have gone a long way to imparting the truth about warfare." - The New York Times Book Review "An inspiring book about a perpetually knotty country at the height of the Soviet-Afghan conflict, The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our Secretary of State and President." - The Boston Globe "A sweeping declaration of human strength, compassion and creative power." - The LA Times """" "Haunting . . . a riveting account." - The Washington Post "Reading The Photographer is a simply stunning experience: you emerge from your time spent in Pakistan and Afghanistan with Didier and the members of MSF a better, more thoughtful person." -- Nancy Pearl, NPR "A gripping adventure that sheds light on subjects as diverse as faith, photography, art, love, nobility, Soviet-Afghani relations, pride, masculinity, racism, and bravery. This isn't just a great photography book, it's a great novel, a great comic, a great memoir, and a great history text." -- boingboing "The Photographer is an absorbing graphic memoir . . . Lefevre's work is stunning, capturing not just the beauty of the terrain, but the stories etched onto the faces of the Afghan people." - The Cleveland Plain Dealer "The Photographer will make you weep, laugh and empty your pockets to donate to the extraordinarily courageous Doctors Without Borders." - The Hartford Advocate ""The Photographer" marries the amazing pictures of Didier Lefevre with the images and text of Emmanuel Guibert. The result is a blazingly honest, riveting memoir that stands as one of the best examples of graphic literature." - The Graphic Novel Reporter "A staggering graphic achievement . . . The Photographer is a huge, huge success, graphically, narratively, humanistically." -- Newsarama "A haunting and at times harrowing tale that highlights the cost of war on the people of Afghanistan while illuminating the humanitarian mission of the volunteers that work with Doctors Without Borders." - Publisher's Weekly Comics Week "A compelling, one-of-a-kind reading experience . . . bringing you the real-world adventure of a young photographer risking his life with one of the bravest, most beloved humanitarian organizations in the world." - Shelf Awareness "An incredibly honest portrayal of common figures in the middle of incredible situations." - Inkstuds "Stunning and unique." - Playback: stl "Perhaps no medium other than this one's could convey so tangibly what it is to deliver 'human services' in a war zone in one of the least geographically hospitable, most beautiful places on earth. A magnificent achievement." - Booklist, starred review "An expansive narrative that ranges from a discerning glimpse of a very different and variegated culture to an at times heartbreaking chronicle of the horrors of modern warfare to a desperate struggle for survival. . . . an unforgettable reading experience." ICv2 "[A] magnificent and moving account of the human costs of war." - Library Journal, starred review "Starkly beautiful . . . magnificent." - Publisher's Weekly, starred review "Horrifying and glorious. . . . a part of the world that should be discussed more often." - VOYA

Ease of Use
Take for my spasticity. Drug worked great for a year then they increased it from 60mg per day to 70. Worked great for 6 months and it was increased to 80. Worked great for 3 months and increased to 90mg per day. Has stopped working and neither of us want to take more than the average dose of 80. Don't know what is next but that first year was great.

Don'ts for a Healthy life Style
Everybody knows the dos of a healthy living. But when it comes to don'ts, people neglect some of the smallest factor which affects life in much big way. Here are some of the listed don'ts.
- Don't stay up late at night for one more episode of favourite TV series or a game or any anime series. Staying up in front of a laptop or a screen will result in dark circles, hated by girls.
- Don't skip any meal of the day. Don't skip the breakfast. It gives you the initial energy to start carrying out the daily day activities.
- Don't eat the scheduled meal on a totally different time. Eating at odd times will result serious health problems.
- Don't postpone an exercise regime and start it the next day. Go for a run and play outdoor games like football, basketball.
- Always keep your phone out of your sight when sleeping. Cellphones and many other electronics have the tendency to damage brains cells. So it is better to have all the electronics switched off when sleeping.
- Interact with people face to face and not using social media. Face to face conversation is the best method to make new friends and to know more about someone.
- Don't spend time with the people who radiate negative energy or who are negative by nature. It will affect the thinking and mind set.
- Don't even try the most common toxics that people do like cigarettes and alcohol. It will affect the body in such a way that one cannot imagine.
- Don't fight and always forgive the people. Whoever jokes, just shrug it off and laugh it out. Take these types of things lightly.
- Don't take the things for granted. Do hard work for it and achieve it then don't boast about it. Be calm and let the success speak for itself.
- Don't use abusive language. Or try to minimize it. Talk in a civilized manner even with the friends. No doubt they will make fun but hold to it.
- Don't stop yourself from helping someone. Helping, no matter how small it is, will make someone's big dreams come true. What is in it for you? Forget that question. The happiness that one get from helping will alone make you complete that you won't need anything else.
These are the small points that will make the lifestyle healthy and stress free. These may be small and neglected aspects but trust me, following these will definitely change the lifestyle.
Tips to Find Good Businesses Online
People today are living in the world of Internet where everything is accessible with utmost ease. No matter what you want to buy, learn, even sell, you can connect to the internet and do your thing. The availability of the internet has definitely made things a lot easier for everyone, but it is important to understand that not all businesses are alike. There are so many unscrupulous companies working online. You have to be on your toes to ensure you are working with the right service provider. Here are a few tips that will help you make sure that you're working with a right company.
- Always make sure the company has a professional website. It means you have to explore their website and check it for how classy it is. If they cannot keep their website updated and good, they just cannot give you good service. It is equally important to check contact details on their website. If you're dealing with a scammer, the chances are they will have ambiguous details mentioned on their website. Sometimes, they will use only a post office box number because you just cannot trace the identity by using a P. O. Box number. On other occasions, they will omit their phone numbers or street address to keep things in secret. When they cannot share their right address, it usually means they are not going to deliver maximum satisfaction when you use their services.
- If they have a phone number listed, it is a good idea to call them before you actually use their service or buy their products. You can call them and listen to what they say about their business. Their representatives should sound professional. If that's the not the case, you may be dealing with an unscrupulous service provider.
- Be sure to take advantage of Google, but opt for the businesses listed at the top. These are the companies that have invested some money in advertising and promotion, which means they are capable of handling your orders better. However, you should never blindly trust these listings because sometimes they are not as good as they might look. Therefore, it is a good idea to pick top service providers and check their website to know how good they really are. This will definitely require some hard work, but you will eventually be able to find a service provider that delivers the finest service.
The fact of the matter is that with so many types of businesses available online, it is never an easy task to make a right choice. You will have several options in front of you, but you have to be careful to ensure you don't end up losing your money. For a good start, you should conduct some research and pay attention to the points mentioned above. This will help you get in a better position to decide exactly what company will help you get maximum satisfaction. So, keep searching and keep shopping online!
Find Out How You can Select a Good Service Provider
It is never an easy task to find a right service provider in your local area. With so many businesses offering their services, you will obviously be in some confusion at the time of making a choice. The same thing happens when you start looking for a good wedding photography company, a retailer, a mobile phone seller, a cleaning company, or more. There are so many options for sure, and many businesses would try to grab your attention by throwing some impressive deals. However, it is important that you take your time and make a decision after considering a few important points. Here's what you should do:
- You can always ask from family and friends to help you in this regards. They may have used a company already and have some good experience with them. You can definitely learn from their experience and opt for the same service provider.
- You should never forget to take advantage of search engines. Whatever your needs, you will be able to shortlist some of the best service providers by using a search engine. You can use Google because they can help you find the most relevant results. It is important to understand that you will be able to find a right service provider only if you use a right keyword when searching. It may be a task involving trial and error, but you will eventually get it right.
- Once you have found a few reputable service providers, it is time now to go to their websites. The websites will tell a lot about how professional a service provider is. A website should be informative and tell something about the professionalism of a company. They should have something mentioned about their previous projects. By looking their portfolios, you will definitely be in a better position to decide whether you should continue with them or look for another alternative.
- It is not enough to check their websites to decide if they can help you or not. You also have to contact them and ask for a quote. Be sure to ask them in writing what's included in the package. This is especially true for people looking for specific services – carpet cleaning, gutter cleaning, mold removal companies, etc. At the same time, you should be asking them about any certification they have. Whether you're hiring a photographer or you're trying to find a good carpet cleaner, it is always a good idea to ask them about any certifications they may have. This confirms you're working with a specialist who will definitely deliver satisfying performance.
The crux of the matter is that you will definitely be able to find a good service provider over the internet, but you have to pay attention to certain things to find a company that delivers the best value for your money. It will definitely take some time to conduct the research, but this will put you in a position to select the best service provider.

Citroen Reveals C-Quatre Sedan in Shanghai
Citroen has given us a glimpse of their updated European C4 extended sedan, which just took the stage at the Shanghai Motor Show. Previously known as the C-Triomphe in China since late 2006, the name was changed to C-Quatre with the Chinese launch of the facelifted C4 hatchback in August 2008. Now the sedan has received the facelift too and wears the C-Quatre name as well.
Unlike the C5, which has a full boot, while keeping the enlarged opening provided by a hatchback, the C-Quatre is a more traditional 3-box (aka sedan or notchback). This look is preferred by consumers in China, according to the French automaker. The compact four-door sedan was designed out of a joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Corporation and the Peugeot-Citroen parent PSA Group.
Some changes on the car include a redesigned front fascia, which includes a body-colored front lip, and more compartmentalized fog lights. The nose appears to stick out a bit more, and the door panels look to have a bit more definition - particularly near the side sills. It also looks as though the center of the car is raised a bit, giving a rounder roofline, and more headroom for rear passengers.
The Chinese consider the number "four" to be unlucky, but perhaps the "Quatre" name is enough to keep the numerologists feeling protected.
We can't say for certain that the Citroen C-Quatre is just for the Chinese market. The new model will be produced domestically in that country, and hits the showroom floor there this June. With the C4 sedan also produced in Argentina and on sale in Europe and South America, we wonder if other markets will also get the revised look anytime soon.
At the Shanghai Motor Show, Citroën world premieres the three-volume C-Quatre and presents the C5 for the first time in China
Paris, 20 April 2009 - Citroën is broadening its product line-up in China and presenting two new cars at the Shanghai International Motor Show: the three-volume C-Quatre, making its world debut, and the new C5, to be manufactured at Wuhan. This product dynamic is backed by a powerful brand dynamic.
1. Strengthening Citroën presence in China
World debut of three-volume C-Quatre
Developed and produced in China, the three-volume C-Quatre will be launched in June. With two C-quatre body styles, Citroën now brings Chinese customers a complete offering in the core M1segment, the largest in China.
C5: Citroën's trump card in the high-end saloon segment
Citroën is unveiling the C5, to be produced from the end of the year at the new Wuhan plant and launched in China in early 2010. Strengthened by its success in Europe - with some 87,000 sales in 2008 - the new C5 is a major asset for Citroën success in the high-end segment in China.
By rounding out its range with the three-volume C-Quatre and the C5, Citroën is boosting its presence in the country. The Marque now covers a full 70% of the Chinese market. This product offensive is also being accompanied by a major brand transformation.
2. New brand image roll-out starts in China
Citroën is revealing the new brand image to its 217 dealers, the media and the public at the Shanghai Motor Show. Roll-out starts this year, with 20 dealerships bearing the new image by the end of 2009.
This dynamic is driven by Citroën's increasing success in China. The network will cover 230 cities by 2010. The performance of the 3,100 network members has been bolstered by the creation of 12 technical training centres since the start of the year and two sales schools, in Chengdu and Wuhan. Lastly, the initiative on service quality, a core aspect of the network renewal in China, is already showing results, with a 4th place finish in JD Power 2008 rankings.
Citroën is demonstrating its new "Créative Technologie" tagline on a 1,000-square metre stand with:
- The C4 WRC. Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena recently drove this car to their 51st World Rally Championship victory. The C4 WRC underlines the success of a vehicle family that combines good looks and outstanding on-road qualities.
- The GTbyCITROËN concept car is displayed alongside two driving simulators giving visitors the chance to play the Gran Turismo 5 game.
- The C3 Picasso, presented in its "Rainbow" version, once again embodies the Marque's spirit of creativity and innovation. Citroën's latest MPV is on show alongside the Grand C4 Picasso, imported to China since the beginning of the year, in double proof of the brand's success in the people-mover market.
- The C-Elysée CNG (compressed natural gas), launched in September 2008, recently set an environmental record, driving 1,756 km on one 51-litre tank and one 12.4-m3 gas bottle. The C-Elysée has become a market favourite since launch a year ago, with nearly 5,000 monthly sales and a record performance in March of 7,300 units, placing it 3rd in the segment.
Building on 90 years of technological innovations and automotive creativity, Citroën brings its customers a broad and modern range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles Citroën in 2008 is:
- worldwide, 8,000 customer contact points, 13,500 employees and 1,356,000 vehicle sales
- in Europe, the leader in compact MPVs, with the C4 Picasso, and vehicles emitting less than 110 g/km of CO2, with the C1
- in China, a 2.1% market share, with 107,000 registrations in 2008
The Marque launched a complete brand transformation project in 2009, with a new identity, new customer relations and a new product line, the DS line.

A Season in Review: 2012 UK Volleyball
Jan. 9, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The 2012 edition of the UK volleyball team added continual success to an already budding program among the nation's elite. Under the direction of eighth-year head coach Craig Skinner the Wildcats advanced to a program-record eighth-consecutive NCAA Tournament. UK is one of just 14 teams in the nation to have appeared in each of the last eight national tournaments.
UK hosted the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament for the third time under Skinner's tutelage and claimed a 3-0 sweep of East Tennessee State to begin another run. The Wildcats then upset No. 14 Ohio State by a 3-1 score in front of more than 1,500 fans for a right to play in the Sweet 16 for the second-straight season and the third time in four years. The second-straight Sweet 16 run marked the first time the Wildcats had captured two matches in the tournament in consecutive seasons since the 1987-88 squads achieved the same feat.
The Blue and White have charted 20 or more victories in five of the last six seasons and have finished no lower than fifth in the Southeastern Conference standings since Skinner's arrival. For his unprecedented success, the head coach inked a long-term contract keeping him in Lexington until at least 2019.
All signs point to Skinner's program continuing to build on a solid foundation of success with room for improvement and goals still yet to reach. The Wildcats capped the season ranked No. 20 in the country and have concluded the year ranked among the nation's top 25 in four of the last five seasons. Following another impressive season it is only fitting to look back at some of the accomplishments of this year's team:
Team Achievements
Kentucky had the first trio of teammates to earn All-America distinction in consecutive seasons in Whitney Billings, Christine Hartmann and Stephanie Klefot. Billings was a second-team honoree with Hartmann and Klefot earning honorable mention accolades.
Player Highlights
Stephanie Klefot finished her career with 1,924 career digs which ranks second in program history and the fourth-highest total in SEC history.

Patience is a virtue that can make you want to scream
I took a chance on a Live Aquaria Divers Den Juvie Regal Angel (Pygoplites diacanthus) about 2 months ago. As beautiful as this fish is, it ended up getting an appetite for some of my favorite SPS corals as well as a voracious appetite for my growing Zoanthid collection, so it's got to go. Easier said than done right? Catching a fish in a fully stocked, mature reef tank is often a hassle.… More:
Garlic bad for fish? Rambling about forum propaganda.
Where does this statement come from? Has anyone actually done a study on the effects of feeding the fish in our aquariums foods soaked in garlic?

The Ugliest Mini-Reef Ever: A First Journal Entry.
In 2006, I gave up aquariums for what I knew was going to be a long-term hiatus. I had been a part time aquarist, completely responsible for a collection of rescued and long term-captive corals collected under permit from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. I was completing my undergraduate education full time in Marine Science and Chemistry at the same time. The stress of changing management at the aquarium I worked at, managing the collection, on top of being offered the opportunity to pursue a graduate education in marine science brought on tremendous burnout for aquariums.

I think I'm out on 30 Rock
I just can't take any more of the "Liz Lemon is absurdly, comically unattractive and unlucky in love" plot lines. It's simply too incongruous with Tina Fey's beauty, Liz's smarts, and her position as a successful, prominent head writer and producer of a major network television show.
A lot of people seem to get mad about this line of reasoning. They offer lots of arguments why it isn't valid. Some people point out that Tina Fey isn't Liz Lemon, which is true. But Liz Lemon definitely looks like Tina Fey, and I assure you, a woman that looks like Tina Fey will be approached at a bar. Some people say that Liz Lemon's odd personal quirks and poor fashion sense make it understandable that she's alone. Sorry, no. If I saw a woman at a bar that looked like Tina Fey, drinking a bizarre mixture of Sprite and white wine and ice, I'd say, "look at that gorgeous woman." If I saw a woman at a bar that looked like Tina Fey, wearing an old hoodie and a fanny pack, I'd say, "look at that gorgeous woman."
Some say that it's part of the fictive makeup of the show, and that while the actress playing her is beautiful, her character isn't. The problem here is that 30 Rock is a good show for its willingness to have regular characters who aren't conventionally Hollywood TV show attractive. No offense to the actors who play Pete, Frank, and Lutz, but they aren't boy band material and the show makes that plain. How am I suppose to synthesize their looks with Tina Fey's? Some have said that the point isn't that Liz Lemon is physically unattractive, but that simply doesn't survive scrutiny. (On last week's episode she was called a "lipless middle aged woman.")
What about the fact that she was just involved in a long relationship with an airline pilot that looks like Matt Damon? Isn't that an example of a person that only someone of value is likely to be dating? Yes, they show lots of ways that Damon's character is dysfunctional. But plenty of dysfunctional attractive people with desirable occupations are romantically successful. I don't know how to reconcile a character that ends it with a guy who looks like Matt Damon and then goes to the bar assured that no one will hit on her.
I want to stress that this isn't just a case of a character being considered unattractive. The plot of this episode, aside from a weak B and C plot, is that she's so unattractive, getting her laid involves an elaborate conspiracy by her friends to set her up with a Swiss prostitute.
This is well-worn territory, of course. You could say that I just need to suspend disbelief to enjoy the show, and you'd be right. But the fact that the suspension of disbelief is necessary to enjoy something doesn't mean that I have to do it. I think I've found the place where I'm just not willing to suspend disbelief with this show anymore, as talented as the cast and writers are.
8 comments:
Yeah, but do you laugh at the show? And the 30 Rock plotlines are a hell of a lot less jarring than the documentary-style camera/reverse camera shots in shows like The Office and Parks & Rec that somehow never revel the presence of cameramen.

Mmm, I think the point isn't that Liz is actually unattractive, but that she -- like a lot of attractive women -- thinks she is. And consequently, she lets herself get treated that way; she's also kind of a dick. I mean, the big theme of 30 Rock is how its characters' neuroses get in the way of their happiness. She only ends up with Matt Damon because he happens to perfectly match her absurd standards. (Also, I don't see how you could do a story about a woman feeling perpetually unattractive and actually cast an unattractive woman. Do that, and it's not funny, just mean.) Anyway, personally, I don't think Tina Fey is so strikingly beautiful that it's impossible to believe.
All that said, the show in general has become a bit of a drag. The Liz's love life plots are getting old to me, not because I can't believe them, but just because they're belabored. The Tracy-and-Jenna fighting bits are tired. I still like it, but I'm not convinced it's going to recapture its old energy.
(On the other hand, I think about the wedding episode last season, and it was really top-notch. So maybe I'm just grouchy.)

Tina Fey's "beauty"? Dude, come on, dude. Tina Fey is an attractive person, even a good looking person. But "beautiful" is just far too generous; it's like calling Mad Men "smart." You, like many where Ms. Fey is concerned, seem to be blinded by a bit of a crush.
- February 18, 2011 at 5:35 PM
- Elia Isquire said...
I agree with the post, but I'd also add that the show started resting on its laurels and treading water at least a good 2 seasons ago.
- February 18, 2011 at 7:57 PM
As Paul said, by Manhattan standards, Tina Fey is no great beauty. In my experience - and the show is grounded in NYC, culturally and geographically, there's a large population of women in her position, desperate for love after years of dating or serial monogamy; and not finding it anywhere. The same is true for many men, of course. And this is all anecdotal. But as a New Yorker who doesn't have a crush on her, the joke is somewhat believable.

Perhaps you guys are right. Try this on for size: I guess I'm just tired of the plot point. Seems to have been beaten to death.

That's cool, and I agree with you, but I bailed for that reason before Season One was up.
- February 21, 2011 at 12:24 AM
The point is that she doesn't really want a boyfriend or to get laid. She's married to her job.
Her constant whining about not getting any is her way of reconciling what she really wants with what she's expected to want. Nothing unrealistic about this at all. It's probably the realest part of the show.

For decades, enterprise tech companies could rely on two certainties:
- Market power comes from having a big sales force that plays golf with big company chief information officers (CIOs); and
- Startups keep coming up with better mousetraps that companies will only buy if the CIO gives the nod.
As a result, when a startup reached a certain size, it encountered a barrier to further growth — the huge scale of the big enterprise tech company's sales force. So the startup would sell out to a big tech company.
Once that happened, the acquirer's thousands of sales people would slowly convince big companies to buy the product, after the sale it would also charge customers millions of dollars for installation consulting, and the startup's engineers would leave as the acquirer shut off funds for new product development.
In the last five years, both of those certainties have started to erode. Startups are executing a business model that levels the competitive playing field — offering business software that corporate coders can download for free and install within minutes. If one departments likes the software, it tells other ones.
Eventually, the startup's sales team can call on the CIO and offer a better licensing deal for the whole company than in each department. The result is that the startup can grow without selling out to the big tech company.
And this leaves that traditional big tech company in runoff mode — without new products, its sales force becomes a big fixed cost that can no longer be covered through sales of new products built by acquired startups.
This comes to mind in considering the future of CA CA (formerly Computer Associates) – the Islandia, New York provider of business software in which I have no financial interest. With $4.6 billion in sales and a 23% net profit margin, this company looks like a cash machine. But its stock is dead money — having risen an average of 1% a year since 2004.
The big problem with CA seems to be that it's shrinking in a growing market — sales fell 3.6% in the last year in an enterprise software market that Gartner expects to grow at 6.8% to $320 billion by the end of 2014.
This suggests that something is not clicking between what CA offers and what customers want to buy. Will CA still be around in 2024? Jyoti Bansal, founder and CEO of enterprise application monitoring software company, AppDynamics, said, "No. CA will be broken into pieces and sold to private equity."
CA disputes this view. Its corporate spokesperson, Jennifer Hallahan said, "It is unfortunate that some of our competitors are so far out of touch with what CA is doing and what our customers' experience is. Just browse our website at ca.com and you can see the renewed energy and innovation. In just the past year, we've shifted our R&D spend, focused on development in a handful of hubs and launched organically development and differentiated product that our customers need."
Bansal has inside knowledge of CA. After graduating from Indian Institute of Technology, his father gave him $200 so he could go to Silicon Valley. He worked at a few companies there and in 2005 joined Wily Technology as an architect. CA bought the company in January 2006 for $375 million. Two years later, Bansal bolted CA in February 2008 frustrated by the lack of innovation there.
He then decided to get even. As he said, "AppDynamics is a serious threat to CA and it will become the next $1 billion software company. My growth philosophy is 'disrupt or be disrupted.'"
And there is some evidence that AppDynamics is doing the disrupting. Gartner recently recognized AppDynamics as a leader in the "$2.9 billion application performance management (APM) space."
Customers seem to like what it's selling. In its fiscal year ending January 31, its customer count more than doubled from 500 to over 1,000 — among them are DIRECTV, NBC Universal, StubHub, Union Pacific Union Pacific, and Weight Watchers.
AppDynamics' bookings grew at 175% with "an annualized bookings run-rate of more than $100 million in its fiscal fourth quarter. Our employee base grew from 150 to 450 in the last 15 months and we've raised $90 million from leading VCs."
The software industry has changed. According to Bansal, "The industry has changed. Software is shifting from back office to the key to revenue generation. New technologies like the cloud, mobile, and big data are becoming popular. And agile software development is making it imperative that software companies introduce new versions quickly."

The food was really good, the service, although a bit rushed, was fine and the atmosphere, lovely. But, we were still hungry after our meal and went out directly to another restaurant. We are not big eaters but, seriously, the postions were miniscule and overpriced.

The sushi was good, as was the kobe beef and the duck, but for the 4 of us to eat with only 2 drinks each was close to $1000 with tip! I agree with previous posts that it feels like a hotel restaurant, but the food is really good. Ask to be seated at one of the tables by the sushi bar- best location in the restaurant. Don't miss the rock shrimp rolls! (and be careful when ordering as some prices are per person, not per order!)

Food is exceptional. Superior quality sushi and main courses. However, it is mighty expensive and we all left hungry. Drink prices are oboxiously high as well.

i went to koi with my mom. i work at a restaurant in westchester and the chef who i worked for used to be the head chef at koi. when i went the waiter had told me to give him our menus because the chef had something up his sleeve. he ended up sending out and 8 course meal. I strongly recomend the calamari salad. this was incredible. the chef had sent out a piece of wagyu beef. he said it was on the menu for 280$ the steak was perfection. at the end of our meal the chef had given me a tour of the kitchen. its incredible. i strongly recommend that you should come here.

Lets try to look at the positive. The food was good and the service was pleasant. But it stops here. Although reservations were made ahead of time for an occasion, the hostess seated us in the "couples row", the row of tables for two with inches apart from the adjacent table. The restaurant was, mind you, half empty at 7pm on a Saturday. There was still one table between us and the only other couple in the row. However at 7:45 she brings over another couple, and seats them right in between us and another couple, with at least three tables EMPTY at either side of us. The couple placed in between actually tried to leave the restaurant as they were visibly upset by the seating, however they talked them into staying at another table. So, what does our hostess do 15 minutes later? She seats another couple right in between us ten minutes later. At this point we were almost done with our meal and it simply was not worth arguing. By the time we left at 8:30, the place was still a third empty.

The only thing KOI has going for it is that is across the street from one of the OTHER worst restaurants in the city. Koi is slightly better, so at least it will benefit in comparison. The room is very hotelly it feels desperate like it's going for a Buddakhan-type vibe, but didn't have enough of a purse. Portions are ample, I'll give it that. The spinach salad with really salty, with strange, unidentigied rice noodles perches atop, imparting neither flavor nor texture, but made it sort of annoyingly difficult to eat. The mushrooms in this (and in everything else they appeared in) were woefully overcooked to the texture of shoe leather. The tiger shrimp came with the abysmal chewy 'shrooms, as well as more salty onions and little kumquat rounds. The flavors were not horrendous, just completely disjointed: none having anything whatsoever to do with the others. Edamame were similarly flavorless but for the lovely salt crystals clinging to the shells. Might as well have just licked them rather than bothering getting to the beans. The yuzu sauce underneath the grilled salmon cloaked the fennel and arugula in a cloying mayonnaise-esque gum, and overpowered any voice the veggies may have initially had. Some of the desserts sounded interesting enough, but after all of that, I wasn't taking the risk. Oh, and the "scene" might be a scene if you're from N.J., but there was nobody interesting in appearance or celebrity for my tastes, except maybe our waiter, who was very helpful and nice and charming.

Me and my boyfriend went out for a nice dinner to Koi last night because we are sushi lovers and had heard rave revues from random celebrities. We ordered the most expensive things (crab wontons, lobster roll, crunchy rice tuna something...) that the waiter recommended as the best. Everything was very subpar. We live in a small town in Florida with three sushi restaurants that are far superior to koi in taste, value, atmosphere and service. We were so disappointed.
