The Oscar nominations -- for better or worse -- are out! While the full list of nominations is here, we've already scrolled through them and picked out 10 things that people may not have seen coming. For what it's worth:
1. "American Hustle" and "Gravity" lead the way. Not terribly surprising in itself, as both films were clearly poised to do well. But many -- including myself -- expected "12 Years a Slave" to get the most nominations this morning. Instead it got nine to the 10 that "Hustle" and "Gravity" managed. The Academy took every chance they could to nominate those two, even giving David O. Russell his second film in a row to get acting nominations in every single category (though oddly, "Hustle" was snubbed for makeup and hairstyling, which seemed like one of its surest nominations). "12 Years," on the other hand, missed out on very expected nominations for original score and cinematography, suggesting some hesitation towards the film overall.
2. Tom Hanks isn't even a one-time nominee. For a while there, it seemed like two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks would be a two-time nominee this year for his work in "Saving Mr. Banks" and "Captain Phillips." And while the hopes for the former faded considerably, he seemed like a near lock for his impressive work in "Phillips." But in the end, he didn't even manage that. Not that we can feel particularly sorry for someone who already has two Oscars, but still...
3. Neither is Emma Thompson! Probably the biggest shocker of the acting nominations was the lack of one for Hanks' "Banks" co-star Emma Thompson. We knew the best actress race was going to be tight, but it seemed like Meryl Streep or Amy Adams would be the ones that were going to miss out. But nope, it was Thompson who was excluded -- and we'll miss out on her presence come March 2nd. Once again, the Golden Globes take this one...
4. "Stories We Tell," "Blackfish" and "Tim's Vermeer" miss out on best doc nods. The best documentary category is essentially expected to be one big surprise, but for three films that were largely predicted to make the cut to miss out still surely had a few folks doing a double take at the list. "Blackfish," "Stories We Tell" and "Tim's Vermeer" were all left hanging in favor of surprise nods for "Cutie and the Boxer" and "Dirty Wars." And while the "Stories" snub does hurt pretty hard for me personally, it's still a strong lineup overall in a year that was clearly overflowing with great options.
5. "Dallas Buyers Club" dominates. While it was crystal clear "Dallas Buyers Club" was heading for acting nods for Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey, and that the chances were good it would have a best picture nomination to go along with it, the fact that it added best original screenplay, best film editing and best makeup and hairstyling to that trio goes to show there's serious love for "Dallas" in the Academy.

Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
IMO next year we will be looking at
Definite keepers IM0: Avery, Amendola, Robinson, FA/Draft pick
Cut or Practice squad: Burton(Ineligible practice squad), Foster, Gibson(haven't seen him)

Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
I don't know where you get your info, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY has ever called Keenan Burton a speedster.
He's a possession receiver, nothing more, and that's fine.
I can see from your assumption that Gibson will be a starter next year that you're one of those people who base their "facts" on hype instead of actual production. As I see it right now Gibson has zero catches for zero yards.
I hope Gibson turns out to be really good, but putting him before Robinson, who is probably the best receiver on the team, is just crazy.
-10-26-2009 #20RamOfDenmark Guest
Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
I think it's a very close contest between most of our receivers - only Avery & Robinson are locks to be on the roster next year and they're also the only two who deserve to be 100% locks IMO.
I'm also not buying into the Gibson hype - I didn't like the trade and I wish we didn't make it. But I'm going to try and stay levelheaded about it and neither hype Gibson as the 2nd coming of Isaac Bruce nor rule him out just because I didn't like the trade. Currently however he is a 6th rounder who's never caught a ball in the league so it's very premature and optimistic to call him a lock for anything a year from now - even on our thin-as-paper WR roster.
I'm also not sold on Amendola yet - I'll admit that he has surprised me as a receiver and played better there than I thought he would. But as a returner he hasn't shown anything above all the other middle-of-the-road returners we have had the past 10 years. He's got 24.3 yards average on kickoffs and 8.1 on punts - that's pretty much what any average receiver in the league gets when you line him up to return and nothing special.
If I had to make a guess I would say it's likely that both Amendola & Burton get another year on our roster - making it 4 relatively sure picks with Avery & Robinson. But I'm not even going to guess beyond that, way too early.

Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
burton would do well playing inside. he's not a wideout, his route-running just isn't good enough and he isn't a burner. i would rather see him as our 4th receiver instead of amendola, who should mostly be used as a returner with spots here and there in the o.
-10-27-2009 #22Avery and Burton Guest
Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
I'm a huge Burton fan, and I'll agree with you their molar pistol that he is not a burner and definitely does good playing on the inside. He can be dangerous if you don't watch him on a straight out-route though. Like during the Vikings game (I refer to this because it's the only game I've seen televised) He had the CB beat on two plays in a row but the first was overthrown by Boller, and the second was underthrown and batted away... I've never really seen Burton drop a ball thrown to him so I would have safely called that a 40 yard touchdown pass if it was an accurate throw.
He does struggle with route running but I believe he'll improve this more during the offseason (perhaps with some offseason coaching changes too). I like Amendola but he too also has messed up some routes including one that ran into Burton's and ended in an interception during the Vikings game. (I'm not saying Amendola isn't/won't be good just saying he can use work too!)
In response to him being cut this next season? Not likely. He's signed to a three-year deal and not much salary cost the Ram's will keep him until his contract expires. The kid still has great potential still and I want too see if he can show it!
To say he has been here 2 years and shown nothing is quite ignorant to say at this point. His rookie season was mildly product because he had a knee injury and even when he was playing he didn't get much playing time. I believe he wasn't to high up on the depth chart but did manage to make some plays including a 30 yard touchdown against the Niners in week 16.
The biggest concern coming into the 2009 season was "Can he stay healthy?" Well thus far he has. Also has shown consistancy with making 3 - 5 catches per game. It may just be me but I really think he'll open up with the last 9 games and improve his route running... it's amazing what a full season of experience can do for you at the wideout position while staying healthy. Sure he may not be out there scoring touchdowns and putting up 100 yard games but NONE of our receivers are doing that so there is no need to put Burton on the spot there.
Burton so far this season has had 20 receptions for 199 yards. We all know these aren't amazing statistics but statistics you don't see are the first downs he has gotten us! He's kept alot of drives alive for us (Including one on a 3rd & 25 vs the Redskins) that most of the time we don't capitalize on because of penaltys, turnovers, etc... but those are team mental errors that can be fixed! I mean I don't see the "Donnie Avery will likely be cut next season" threads after he fumbles two games in a row and manages to be injured every other game?! He drops balls too, and misses plays! (That wasn't mean't to slam Avery, I am also a big fan of him)... so easy on Burton... atleast for now... he still has time to prove himself.
Burton in the locker room: I haven't heard anything negative said about him by the coaches, infact from what I've read that Spags said is that he is a hard worker and a good leader. Sure that doesn't always win football games but he's still seems like a guy who can prove himself and just might by the end of this season!

Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
Rams could have simply cut him in the off season if this move was purely financial as there is no financial benefit to have traded him this season.
-10-27-2009 #24longfan Guest
Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
i agree completely... and i'll add this...
Burton hasnt played regularly in 3 years.. he has battled injuries.. by the end of this year i doubt anyone will be thinking this kid will be cut..
2007 - UK's offense
2008 - Linehan/Haslett -- QB by committee -- then injured
2009 - New offense -- Still very little consistency at QB
and i noticed in the last game, Bulger started to look for Burton as the primary receiver quite a bit.. how do i know he was primary ??
Bulger has decided to just stare at whomever he's going to throw it to... Interesting way to do it, and not very effective..
-10-27-2009 #25
Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
Having the awareness of when to break off a route and ccme back toward the Qb (when the Qb's under intense pressure i.e. running for his life)apparently is something that takes time and reps to learn. Both Holt and Bruce were more adept at this, but I've no idea how long it took them to develop in this area, just that they were much better at it than our current youthful group ..
Give Burton some time and more reps .. If he can stay healthy (a big if apparently), and stay on the field enough, there's no reason he can't develop into a productive receiver.

Re: Keenan Burton will like be cut next season
I've also noticed that he is beginning to target him alot. The play-calling can be terrible at times though, I'll go ahead and lay the blame on Pat Shurmur for that one.
Bulger does tend to stare down the receivers that he's targeting... Especially on those two picks that he throw that we're intended for Burton. It may have been route running that was bad but that also wasn't a great decision to throw those two passes on Bulger.

Towns with the most resilient home values
Roughly 16 percent of homeowners across Greater Boston are still mired down in negative equity, Zillow reports.
To translate, they owe more on their home than it is worth in the current market.
But if you are out house hunting, this stat can be useful. After all, it can show you the towns where home values held up better when faced with the ultimate test, the epic, years-long real estate downturn we are just now pulling out of.
Not surprisingly, the toniest suburbs have relatively miniscule number of underwater homeowners, with towns like Winchester and Manchester and Concord and Lexington are all below 5 percent.
Yet there are a whole bunch of additional towns out there that are hardly brand names, so to speak, but where real estate values have held up amazingly well.
Towns like Burlington (6.3 percent) and Topsfield (7.5 percent), Reading (6.0 percent) and Wakefield (8.7 percent), have negative equity rates well below the average for Greater Boston.
It's not cheap to get into any of these towns. Yet at least for the Boston area, we are talking about prices that while high, won't leave you in shock, ranging from $350,000 to nearly $500,000. (The median price for Burlington, for example, stands at $395,500, The Warren Group reports.)
Other towns with surprisingly low negative equity rates include:
- Waltham, 8.4 percent
- Melrose, 7.7 percent
- Groton, 6.5 percent
- Hopkinton, 7.8 percent
- Stow, 7.2 percent
- Stoneham, 9.3 percent
- Sharon, 8 percent
- Littleton, 8.9 percent
- Duxbury 8.9 percent
- North Reading, 9.2 percent
- Acton, 7.8 percent
- Natick, 9.9 percent

Trivia: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Jill Valentine is voiced by Catherine Disher, who was on Forever Knight and voiced Jean Grey in X-Men.
- Tony Rosato, known for doing the voice of Luigi in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario World cartoon, is none other than Nemesis.
- Jossed: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis contradicted many plot elements that were present in other media tie-ins such as the S.D. Perry novels and the Biohazard 2 audio dramas that were produced by Flagship (the same company that wrote Resident Evil 2). Particularly, the cause of Raccoon City's destruction was changed from a fire that spread across the entire town to a nuclear missile launched by the U.S. government.
- Urban Legend of Zelda: There used to be a persistent fan rumor that Nemesis was secretly one of the series' pre-existing characters who was captured and mutated by Umbrella (this was mostly due to a mistranslated interview with one of the Resident Evil developers that wrongly implied he was supposed to have been a significant character before). They ultimately ended up using this angle with his character in the movies.
- What Could Have Been: Two Resident Evil games were in production during the time of Resident Evil 3's development. The official RE3 was one of them. The other one would have featured a private investigator named Tony Redgrave as the protagonist, and its development included several trips to Spain to study castles as inspiration for the environments. If any of that sounds familiar, then that is because this game was retooled into Devil May Cry after being deemed too great a departure from the Resident Evil survival horror formula.

We should not be surprized. When you sell your company out to others don't expect the same passion and purpose as it was intended for…I don't understand why we keep doing this to OURself…I guess money will make you do just about anything….Sorry for the sister maybe she can start her own mag…You can't make boss massa uncomfortable and stay employed…
Essence Editor Says She Was Fired; "It wasn't what I expected at all"
What's Hot
It seems that Essence Magazine is no longer about empowering and inspiring Black women. Constance C.R. White is the former Editor of Essence magazine and she has let the cat out of the bag. She shares that she did not leave the top Black women's magazine of her own accord but was actually let go because she disagreed with the direction the magazine was going.
According to White, when Time Inc took over the magazine, which was previously Black owned, they increasingly made an effort to "limit the way black women were portrayed." White says that she disagreed with this new direction and constantly had disagreements with her bosses and they eventually told her that they were letting her go.
"I went in there with passion and excitement and high expectations," White told Journal-isms, referring to her 2011 hiring. "It wasn't what I expected at all.
What needs to happen is the reader is getting lost and the reader has to be at the center. To make their world smaller is unacceptable," White said by telephone. "A lot of the readers have sensed" what is happening, she said.
Essence, the nation's leading magazine for black women, was originally black-owned but has not fared well under Time Inc. ownership, White maintained. Nelson [Martha Nelson, the editor-in-chief of Time Inc.] vetoed such pieces as a look at African American art and culture, and "I was not able to make the creative hires that needed to be made," White said.
White's story adds additional doubt to the notion that Essence can be considered a legitimate advocate for black women when black women are not being allowed to make key decisions for the magazine. This was the concern for millions of readers when the magazine was purchased by Time Inc. Since the merger took place, the content became lighter and less-controversial in tone, focusing on a steady staple of relationship advice, beauty tips, and more advertising than ever before.
She elaborated by email, "When was the last time you saw Essence in the community advocating for or talking with Black women?
"No more T-shirts with a male employee's face on it being distributed at the [Essence] Festival."
Essence announced White's departure in a terse statement on Feb. 8. No explanation was given.

Join the group. I too spoke up on my job about the way that black children were being treated in the school district. It seems that when you dig deep enough and call the top leaders out on the carpet, you will be let go. Corporate America, school districts and banks mortgage companies across America want to keep control of black americans. It began with the promise of 40 acres and a mule which ended in the closing of the Freedman's Bureau and no land or mule. It is a damn shame that nothing has changed, it has just been painted over with another coat of paint and renamed.

Dear Dr. Cheryl, no one is responding to th power of corporate America over our lives and the crimnal acts of mortgage companies and their power to impose gentrification. But to be honest we have been disarmed by the biggest corporate harlot in the person of President "Bucheat" Happy Obama, as he drones children in North Africa and the so-called Middle East and now the NDAA. Our community must take a very real reality check on whose are its friends and who are its enemies

Doctor, you have truly dignosed the case.

I knew that there were some changes made to Essence. I noticed Europeans included in the ads. I will not be renewing my suscription if I feel that it is no longer geared toward Black women.
March 8, 2013 at 11:45 pm
I was just talking to a friend about Essence and the content. We both were saying how we don't relate to it at all. The fashion is limited and the lifestyle is so limiting there is no reason to look at it. I thought I just grew out of Essence. We laughed because we haven't grown out of Vogue, Metropolitan Home, etc. Essence hasn't held my interest for a while.
It is disappointing that Constant has left, she was bringing more depth and creativity to the magazine.
Today Essence seems like it's for 17 – 27 year olds. Maybe that works for them, doesn't work for me.
March 9, 2013 at 12:08 am
Like many have commented I thought I had outgrown the content. Ms White
Thank you for having the character to not sell out. It is tough to be stand tall
I have not renewed my subscription in 5 years. Time for a new magazine
March 9, 2013 at 12:15 am
Unfortunately this is a continuation of a trend that started in the late 90's with African American controlled media and advertising. African American media like all media is highly dependent upon advertising placement and circulation for revenue. Likewise African American advertising agencies compete for control of billings from fortune 100 companies who dedicate less than 3% of there marketing budget towards African American consumers. Because corporations feel that they can reach African American consumers without the need to target them with specific advertisements or that their general market"white" agencies can develop Afrocentric ads as well as African American agencies less marketing spend is allocated towards the African American consumer. As a result, many African American ad agencies have been competing for smaller billings which translates to small placement revenue for media outlets like Essence, Ebony, BET, Black Enterprise..ect. Consequently many of the top African American agencies began to sell to or enter into joint ventures with large general market advertising corporations, who targeted African American advertising agencies as a way to control 100% of corporate marketing spend.The net result was less placement billings for African American media outlets who inturn were forced to sell or enter into joint ventures with large media corporations like Time Warner. From 1998 to 2008 we have lost control of much of the African American advertising and media industries. African Americans, who are the heaviest consumers of media and per capita consumer products, have lost the control and benefit of the industries that have traditionally served them. Moreover, the many African American vendors who received contracts from African American advertising and media companies no longer benefit from the pass through of corporate marketing budgets. Bottom line, we loose the benefit of our consumer market power and the control of the content and quality of our media outlets.
March 9, 2013 at 12:15 am
I cancelled my subscription to ESSENCE when it was sold to Whites. They kept begging me to come back as one of their valued subscribers–offering half price off. I did so, but found the contents of the magazine boring. Plus, I didn't like giving my money to Whites.
I had not planned to renew when my two year subscription expired; and I definitely will not do so. I will not have some White women running a Black women's magazine for me and my Black daughters telling us what we should think and do.
Ms. White, join the other Black women on-line magazines. That's where our future lies.
Shame on those Negroes who sold us out to White people. Never support anythingelse they do (That goes for you too Mr. Bob Johnson and BET).
March 9, 2013 at 12:18 am
We can all express such truths regarding our feelings and well known changes that have taken place since Time Warner bought the magazine. But with all of this knowledge we have, we still choose foolishly to support their negative efforts by attending their widely popular Essence Festivals. So who really cares about us not subscribing anymore. They knew what they were doing all along. The festivals make enormous amounts of money on both black females and males.
I have refused to support them for years since the selling off of the magazine. But the real question is why do we always sell ourselves out for money? Ebony, THANK GOD, they have chosen to really remain in the black community. Somebody really did have a love for their work, and truly believed that we do have a voice.
March 9, 2013 at 9:42 am
Isn't EBONY 60% owned by the same White people who own ESSENCE? It seems it's only a matter of time before EBONY is "fully" owned by Whites too.
I never attended an ESSENCE festival.
Whites seem to have control of Black people's mind and herd them in to make money off of them. Other groups (Koreans) do the same to us. We are totally brainwashed. When you have a Black person such as Ms. White who takes a stand against this brainwashing, she/he is shut down/fired so they (Whites) can keep making money off the "unsuspected" Blacks.
March 9, 2013 at 12:37 am
I couldnt put my finger on why Essence wasnt as intetesting as in the past. I used to read every inch of that magazine. Thank You for confirming something is wrong. No subscriptions until change comes.
March 9, 2013 at 12:46 am
I peeped the change in the magazine over a decade ago, when they had more ads than substance, and the substance they had was leaning away from issues within our community. I left and have never purchased another issue. When black owned businesses sell out to white corporations, they are selling the image of black folks to people planning to control that image, and present it in a negative way. BET, Essence, OWN and all of the rest are fading fast. If we do not control our image around the world, we can't complain about others doing so. Wake up Black folks!

When Essence announced years ago that it was sold to Time, Inc or Viacom I knew that it would lose it's power and the real reason that it was so successful in the first place. Essence was a magazine that empowered, inspired and educated Black Women to evaluate their lives in every aspect of religion, spirituality, finance, community, etc. Once any company sells out to the "white" bigger companies, we loose our power and purpose. Look at what happened to MOTOWN & BET. It's just not worth it to sell out no matter how much profit is at stake. Why sell your soul and lose your power?

Gee. Black people would do better to invest our money and talents in promoting the economic development of Africa. At least we'll be benefiting more in the long run.
White corporations still benefit from black labor. What do we get? Deeper into dependency, debt and depression.
As far as I'm concerned "black success" is only an illusion if it does not empower black people to have full control over the resources of our motherland.
Take a look at the state of black communities everywhere. Have we really overcome? It's time to get our priorities straight and stop giving white people the economic control and advantage over us. Then we'd be in a better position to control our destiny.

Stand tall and strong my sista. Most of us are aware that the struggle is not over, but continues. In unity there is strength and power. We must not yield. We must use the power of our "Dollars" to send a message to not only to the white American power structure but also to those of our people who have yielded and are afraid to fight back. Our ancestors experienced fear, however, they feared more, he results of NOT fighting back.

When I get my magazines in mail, I don't read them anymore. There used to be a time when I would get the magazine from the mail box and start flipping through the magazine before checking the rest of the mail; and more often than not read an entire article while leaning against the kitchen counter where the rest of the mail was tossed. Those days are long gone. I now take the unread/explored magazines to the local hospital for patients to read.
March 9, 2013 at 9:17 am
All this is true, however we fail to understand how the system works and therefore are victims to changes within the system; always reacting to manipulation rather than being in front of it. The problem is that Corporations do not feel that they have to invest their money in Black consumers and don't in proportion with the profits they gain from our patronage. If corporations were held to account and force to invest in us as much as we support them many of our Black owned business and industries would still be intact. This is not a hand out but requiring those who receive our money to respect and earn our money. If companies were forced to invest 13% of their marketing spend towards the Black consumer market BET, Burrell advertising, Essence, a whole host of Black owned business within advertising and media would still be Black owned. Moreover, you would see far more Black executives within corporate America and more black own vendors as a whole. When we spend our money but don't force those who benefit to respect our consumer dollar everyone looses. If GM, Nike, Kellogg, Walmart, Ford, Toyota, McDonalds, Yum Food Group, Target, Macys, I could go on and on, were forced to spend their marketing dollar in proportion to the Black consumer dollar that they receive it would take us a long way towards saving our institutions and our economy. Right now we are consumers without a voice.
March 10, 2013 at 8:54 pm
Then we need to become producers. It's not like we haven't done it before. I think all of this is a good thing. It forces us to realize how whites really view us (how they've always in fact viewed us). It's a wake up call. There was a brief period where they feigned interest and outreach to the black community. All that pretending is over. The gloves are off and we can see they don't give a frick about us unless they can make some $ off of us. Black Wall Street should be a rallying cry in the black community now. Doesn't even have to be brick & mortar, virtual will do but we have to get back to cooperative economics. And entrepeneurship.
March 9, 2013 at 9:31 am
It is deeply saddening to learn how this commercialization and devastation of a noble mission was accomplished through a change to white ownership. In its initial incarnation Essence editors published my essay on "Black Women of the Old West," which with its striking photographs excited enough attention to lead a publisher have me expand it into a book. It was a book Dr. Betty Shabazz, when she interviewed me on her WLIB-AM radio program [twice],announced "This is one of the most interesting books I ever read."
I guess the overriding question is how does one keep noble and needed efforts from being bought up by white financial interests with little interest in or even hostility toward Black women, their lives, communities and history. I don't have a ready answer, but maybe others do.
March 9, 2013 at 11:21 am
@WilliamLorenKatz….@hhh….@Betty….etc… Well I keep hearing the conversation about doing business in Africa, ok if not now, then when? The richest black man in the world is a Nigerian brother "Aliko Dangote" (13.8 billion)" and there are others. The Chinese are all over Africa doing business, Oprah and Robert Johnson have invested in Africa too. Maybe that Beautiful Black highly intelligent woman "Constance" can go global with a new African Essence! In my opinion the euro centric media machine is (perceived as) controlling our destiny thereby assassinating our future lineages. It tells us what success for us looks like (from their perspective). I am reminded again of Carter G Woodson's book "The Mis-Education of the Negro". Seemingly we have made ourselves a back door people! We love this house! Hey Fire!!!!
March 9, 2013 at 10:17 am
I've been reading Essesence since I was a teen. I buy them now and I never read the from cover to cover. I now know why , thanks for the information. I will not be buying Essesence anymore.

Constance White's experience is one more glaring example of what happens to African Americans who dare to stand up to white corporate America's hubris. Bravo to her! She will land on her feet.
Essence Magazine is one of the most obscene examples of how whites think they know what's best for us. It is traitors like Ed Lewis and Bob Johnson who are complicit in the on-going campaign to dis-empower us, even in this day and time.
Some massive public gesture should be made in the case of Essence Magazine's arrogance and blatant disrespect of African American women.
March 11, 2013 at 2:49 pm
Agreed! Yes, "a massive public gesture" is in order. Any suggestions? A boycott of anything produced by Essence, BET, Johnson & Johnson would certainly hit those corporations where it matters – their pockets. Do you think we're united enough to accomplish anything of that magnitude? We would barely scratch the surface of a meanful progressive public gesture unless we could get Generations X & Y on board. Our younger generations have become oblivious to political activism; they are far too busy with their Xbox, MP3, texting and shopping for designer labels at full price…to even notice their world is tumbling down around them, but then again, that was an effective strategy we can thank the masterminds behind Big Brother and 21st century technology. So, now what?
March 9, 2013 at 12:08 pm
I am a Black male and it inspires me to see so many intelligent Black women responding to this article with passion and conviction. As always, you are the foundation of our families and communities. You are also the purse strings of our economy as 89% of all household purchases are made by females. @Godmind, I agree and pray for a return of the Atlantic Triangle Trade system this time with a pan-African focus, the wealth and prosperity flowing to Africa and African American consumers within the diaspora. In order to make that a reality we must harness the power of the African American consumer, the 9th largest consumer market in the world. We must force those who wish to do business with us to respect us and conduct business in a way that benefits our communities and employs our people. This is something we can do right now. Buy within the community and encourage organizations such as the Church, NAACP, Urban League, HBC's, Black Greek system, Prince Hall Masons, Order of Eastern Star, Black Greek system, and all other affinity groups to boycott companies that do not have at least a 13% composition of African American executives, vendors and suppliers, franchise owners and affiliates. We must see a return for our dollar as well and force 13% of the corporate marketing budget allocated towards the African American consumer and community. If we accomplish this, Black male and Female unemployment will drop significantly, Black own businesses will experience a renaissance and we can begin to engage in import/export and FDI ventures with African countries and businesses. We must take back some of the strength of our dollar, as we can see our very lives depend on it.

March 9, 2013 at 12:26 pm
This Black owned Magazine should have never been sold to white organizations which are dedicated to kill us softly with their attitude toward us, making believe that we are inferior.
I mean, what were we expecting to happen; Constance C.R. White can be considered a HEROE for standing up for her people, to the point of losing her job.
I am proud of her, and talking about her, I am telling you Constance, I wish that you have support from our fellow Black Brothers and sisters, and I hope: "All BLACKS" who know that they are Black and are by all means CONCERNED should Stand with her write to the editor in chief of that previously Black owned magazine, and tell them what we think of thier actions that lead to disagreement with Constance C.R. White, DEMANDING that she gets her job back with compensation for trouble that they cause her, and even considering buying back to Black Own Magazine.
It is time that we start to: "Intelligently" stand for our people. It is only then we will gain respect.
Thanks for your time.

What we don't control we can't expect to get anything from. We MUST keep what's ours. Then again we don't always take proper stewardship of what we own or have an negligent attitude. That is just as bad as others controlling what we spend. Proper ownership, maintenance AND stewardship are a must if we as black people are to get anywhere.

Essence is not going to portray us positively because it is owned and thus controlled by our racist enemies.Marcus Garvey truly said that the only solution is us owning and controlling our resources for our own benefit.

No one else can speak for us, but us. No one else can think for us, but us. No one else can properly portray us, but us. I wonder what made us think that someone who does not look like us could properly portray, commit, and function in our community about us, but us. I remember reading years ago how one particular white owned hair care company was intending to drive all of the black hair care companies out of business. And unless I'm mistaken, they either have or have just about done it. Essence has been for and about our beautiful black women and we always want it to be that way. Who can best speak for them, but them. Where would we be without them? Everyone has a right to buy and sell their businesses, goods, and services to whomever they want, but sometimes if that someone has bought something that is part of our culture it cannot be expected or assumed that they can or will try to continue with the same level of care, understanding, and knowledge of us as we have of us. You speak for you and we'll speak for us.

I stopped subscribing to Essesnce after they sold out to TimeWarner. And Black folks shoulda' stopped buying a LONG time ago!

Black Pride and Ownership is a Faded Accomplishment in the Black Business. Blacks embraced that magazine even when all those black butts were shanking all over the place, instead of a computer class, tutors, mentors, educators being implemented in BET programing. Missing was a Colossal Opportunity to be involved with Black Young Youth , we Still hung on. Hear this, from Johnson (I made It); and I will sell it to the highest Offer; if your blood was RED; It Is Now Green To the Tune of $3Billion. The Legacy – The Heritage – The Black Identity Is Stolen by Money that a Black Rich Icon refused to cradle the Promise of Tomorrow's Black. Shame, Shame

Good Afternoon My Brothers and Sisters: You all have some very good concepts and true to life experiences. I do have some inside insight. The time has come to band together as a people, A great people of the Black race. We need a mass movement within our communities to educate our people that it is good Being Black, Thinking Black, Buying from Blacks, and Supporting Blacks.
We have made all other ethnic group rich in this country, because we are still trying to be accepted by the other groups who don't look like us.
They don't care about you, your families, or your current conditions, the drugs, the high school drop out rates, who get's an education, inproper or inadequate housing, welfare, food stamps, what ever.
The time has come where we all must decide, what are you doing, or willing to do, to make your contribution to the race financially and supportively. When are we going to wake up and develop our own wealth and resources. We have only 1/2 of 1% of the total wealth in this country. A damm shame, considerating the total wealth we Black Americans have collectively.
If we don't take action and not come together, we will be the permanent under class. In America, it is Whites who use wealth and power to marginalize, exploit, and subordinate us.White can deny Black employment, educational opportunities, business resources, a place to live or the right to vote. We own nothing or we sell our companies just for the dollars.
In my book: Why Are Afro-Americans Afraid To Take Off The Blinders on http://www.createspace.com/3979333, I explain the current issues and facts, plus give solution's as to the New Black Direction, that we must choose.
We are one, our cause are one, and together, we MUST HELP EACH OTHER, if we are going to succeed: Corky J.

Why are we surprised? We don't support Black Businesses, Black Professionals such as Doctors,Dentists or Accountants, etc. I would think after all these years we would have learned. When a race feels that they are less than or less deserving, this is what happens. Also when we sell out for the bottom dollar, we should not expect those people who buy us to be as interested in ourselves as we are. Look at the community where beauty supply shops in our community are owned by non-Blacks. I am tired of seeing young Black girls and women with weaves that make them look horrible (hair loss and tracks visible) just so that can swing their hair. Men (boys) walking around with their underwear showing, fathering kids out of wedlock while others struggle for the right to marry who they want. Black America, wake up. You've already slept too long.
March 9, 2013 at 9:53 pm
Essence has changed quite some time ago,the conversation,the advertising and the complete overall makeup of the magazine itself. It was quite noticeable from the beginning of the new ownership…No more Essence for me,it is not the Authentic Black Magazine Anymore…Black People need to Retain Their Own Businesses,that is the only way we will have any True Freedom and to Provide our Own Employment for our Future Generation…We Need to Control Our Own Destiny.
March 9, 2013 at 10:17 pm
As so many have stated earlier I stopped subscribing to Essence years ago. We must always remember that blacks on the cover doesn't mean blacks in control. However, I can't be mad at Time. Their allegiance is to the bottom line and not the concerns of we as a community.With black hair care generating almost $700mm;why wouldn't Essence give you page after page of hair, beauty and fashion.
Instead of just stopping subscriptions to Essence let's start investing in each others entrepreneurial efforts. Lets teach by example the next generation that the best investment you can make is in yourself and your community.You can never consume your way to power.

This is typical. It is not Black Owned anymore. They do not have a need to cater to black people. So get her black behind out of here.
March 10, 2013 at 6:18 pm
Greg, that's why she's not there anymore because she wanted them to cater to the Black Community.
March 10, 2013 at 4:10 pm
I stopped reading the magazine and stopped my subscription to Essence shortly after it was sold. I do not consider Essence to be a legitimate publication for Black Women. How is it possible for a white male controlled magazine to speak to the issues, hopes, dreams of the AFRICAN WOMAN? Until black people can understand the importance of building legacy before greed, African owned businesses, institutions etc will continue to be co-opted by others for their benefit. Expecting our interest to be a priority to Massa is just plain stupid of African folk to expect otherwise. As usual we come to the table with a loaf of bread and end up happily eating only the crumbs.

We have to stop selling our birthrights. How can we contact Ms White to encourage her to start her own magazine with the experience she has and we all truly prescribe to it.
March 10, 2013 at 8:46 pm
What I suspect is that they expect that black people won't continue to support Essence the brand & that probably was their goal in the 1st place. Then they will blame 'us' for it's demise. And I hope to God Linda Johnson Rice keeps EBony..I'm hoping her love, respect & admiration for what her Dad put his blood, sweat and tears into, is worth fighting for.

Another sell out. When will black business people stop selling to white america who will continue to confuse black americans with respect to their real selves and what really matters. Whites cannot and will not ever understand the needs of black americans, especially now, black americans are being beaten daily we need support from black people. No more Essence for me.
March 11, 2013 at 1:01 pm
This is sad news- I hope Constance will go on to start her own magazine. It's such a shame that we are selling out to those who don't have our best interests at heart.

Black folks, it has always been true and it is true now: the enemy is not going to finance our revolution!It is absolutely essential that we do for self. We must grow up and start taking care of ourselves. This evil capitalist system is dying, and the first thing the capitalists will do is eliminate everything and every one they perceive as a liability. That means Black folks will be the first to go! Aren't we already suffering more than the other ethinic groups in this Depression? If we don't start supporting each other, who will? If we don't care about one another, who does? We must stop pretending that things are not as bad as they are. They are worse! We must stop pretending that we live in a post-racial society. We don't! We must do for self regardless of the opposition. If they bomb us again, those of us who survive must get up and try again, again, again until we do gain our freedom. Why should Black Wall Street be the last time we had a community in which the dollar turned over more than seven times before it left? We cannot let fear defeat us. Many of us up South have land down South just lying there doing nothing. We need to farm that land and build factories and warehouses for obvious reasons. We must do for self, or we are doomed! Brothers and Sisters, our open enemy has killed millions of Black, Red and Brown people since their so-called "Age of Exploration". They are still the same today. As Malcolm X said, "This capitalist, colonial system is so criminal that it has the seeds of its destruction within it". Before it destroys itself, we better get it together so we can survive.

I used to enjoy Essence Magazine few years ago. I agree with many people on this site, that believe the magazine is not the same any more. As a black person, I go to the bible and read what the word says I should portray myself in this society. A virtuous women, Proverb 31 etc. All it takes is to be in tune with God to know who you are. Praise Jesus!

It sounds to me like it's time for a "21st Centure Essence" magazine that should be owned by an African American. No one can tell our story and appreciate our culture better than we can. Do we have anyone willing to take up the challente?
March 13, 2013 at 3:40 pm
Along with the deterioration of Essence, is also, JET MAGAZINE. Gone are the great articles of old, that dealt with Black Issues and stories. The magazine itself, is just a former shell. I feel there aren't any Great Black Magazine Editors left. White Editors are glad to get in and destroy what little we have left!!…Even the quality of the magazine paper has changed!!

And making a loud noise as to why they are not. With everyone who is still reading it classified as traitors of the black race.

EAFJD welcomes Austrian recognition of Armenian Genocide Brussels, 22 April, 2015: The Austrian Parliament adopted a declaration recognizing the Armenian Genocide, acknowledging the responsibility of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, at the time an ally of Ottoman Empire, calling on Turkey to reconcile with the dark pages of its past. The declaration was adopted unanimously by all political factions in the Parliament, before adopting it, the deputies held a moment of silence in memory of the 1.5 million innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide.
The declaration states that it is Austria's obligation to recognize the terrible events as genocide and condemn them. It also states, that it is the duty of Turkey "to honestly face its dark and painful chapter of the past, and the crimes committed during the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians to recognize as genocide." The statement on the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide, also pays homage to Assyrians, Arameans, Chaldeans, Greeks, victims of the total annihilation of minorities perpetrated by Turkey. Garo Chadoian, chairman of the Austrian Armenian Committee for Justice and Democracy (Hay Tad Austria) thanked the Armenian community of Austria, and the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, for the persistent and coordinated efforts over the past years, which resulted in this joint declaration today, and praised the Austrian political parties for their courageous and responsible stance on recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Kaspar Karampetian, President of the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD) said: "we congratulate the Austrian – Armenian community for their tireless work, and welcome this historic recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Austria. It isi historic in the sense, that Austria, acknowledging its responsibility for the past regarding Austro-Hungarian Empire's alliance with the Ottoman Turkey, could serve as a noble example for Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide and come to terms with its past". "Armenian Diaspora's activism, the Pope's message, the European Parliament's resolutions on the Armenian Genocide have all contributed to this declaration by the Austrian Parliament". We very much hope, that Germany as well, will shift its stance on the Armenian Question and officially recognize the Armenian Genocide", concluded Karampetian.
European Parliament adopts resolution on Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, calls on Turkey to reconcile with its past
Brussels, 15 April, 2015: Today, during its plenary session the European Parliament adopted , a resolution on the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. The European Council was represented by Kalinina-Lukaševica and the European Commission Kristalina Georgieva, Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for the Budget and Human Resources. With this resolution, the European Parliament officially marked the centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
Today's resolution on the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide was supported by all political groups in the European Parliament, in which is stated: "whereas an increasing number of Member States and national parliaments recognize the Armenian Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire, whereas one of the main motivations of the European unification movement is the will to prevent the recurrence of wars and crimes against humanity in Europe; …whereas the importance of keeping the memories of the past is paramount, since there can be no reconciliation without the truth and remembrance; Pays tribute, on the eve of the Centenary, to the memory of the one-and-a-half million innocent Armenian victims who perished in the Ottoman Empire; joins the commemoration of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide in a spirit of European solidarity and justice; calls on the Commission and Council to join the commemoration".
The resolution reminds the Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World 2013 adopted on Mach 12, 2015, and the European Union's policy on the matter, where the European Parliament calls on EU member states to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
In today's resolution, "the European Parliament calls on Turkey to come to terms with its past by recognizing the Armenian genocide and thus pave way for a genuine reconciliation".
The resolution also recalls the Parliament's resolution of 18 June 1987 in which inter alia it has recognized that the tragic events that took place in 1915 – 1917 against the Armenians in the territory of the Ottoman Empire represent a genocide as defined in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948; condemns all occurrences of crimes against humanity and genocide and strongly deplores any attempts of their denial.
The European Parliament resolution also asks for the establishment of an "International Remembrance Day for Genocides" and stresses that the timely prevention and effective punishment of genocide and crimes against humanity should be among the main priorities of the international community and the EU.
An unprecedented number of members of the European Parliament took the stage and showed their solidarity to the Armenian nation in, and in support of the resolution, and the importance of calling a genocide a genocide. Pope Francis' message of reconciliation and peace was also mentioned and included in the final version of the resolution.
Kaspar Karampetian, President of the European Armenian Federation for Justice & Democracy (EAFJD) said "Armenians all over the world welcome this resolution in this centennial year of the Armenian Genocide. The European Union is a union of values, dignity and human rights, and we expect all countries willing to join it, to have reconciled with their past, have friendly relations with their neighbors and look forward to a brighter and peaceful future without the ultimate of crimes, without Genocide. We expect Turkey come to terms with its past, and acknowledge the crime it has committed against the Armenian population 100 years ago, with all its consequences". Karampetian also stressed the need for the EU Council and Commission to show more courage, acknowledge the crime with its proper name, and not hide behind EU member countries who have not yet recognized the Armenian Genocide.
Karampetian also said, that Armenians support the democratic forces in Turkey, who challenge the Turkish state's denial policy, push for recognition of the crime of Genocide against Armenians. He also stressed the well coordinated and organized work of the Republic of Armenia permanent mission to the EU, Republic of Armenia National Assembly's committee on foreign relations and the European Friends of Armenia, whose efforts succeeded in having this well deserved resolution..

What is the difference between a mixin and inheritance?
A Mix in is typically used with multiple inheritance. So, in that sense, there's "no difference".
The detail is that a Mix in is rarely useful as a standalone object.
For example, say you have a Mix In name "ColorAndDimension", which adds a color property and width and height.
Now, you could add ColorAndDimension to a, say, Shape Class, a Sprite Class, a Car Class, etc. And they will all have the same interface (say get/setColor, get/setHeight/Width, etc.)
So, in the generic case a Mix in IS inheritance. But you can argue it's a matter of the role of the class in the overall domain as to whether a Mix in is a "primary" class or simply a mix in.
Edit -- just to clarify.
Yes, a Mix In can be considered, in todays modern lingo, an Interface with an associated Implementation. It really is just plain, old, everyday multiple inheritance using a plain, old, everyday class. It just happens to be a specific application of MI. Most languages don't give a Mix In any special status, it's just a class that was designed to be "mixed in", rather than used stand alone.
mix-in is a specific, restricted case of (multiple) inheritance used for implementation purposes; some languages (e.g. Ruby) support it without supporting generalized multiple inheritance.
A mix-in is a base class you can inherit from to provide functionality. The name "mix-in" indicates it is intended to be mixed in with other code. As such, the inference is that you would not instantiate the mix-in class on its own. Frequently the mix-in is used with other base classes. Therefore mixins are a subset, or special case, of inheritance.
The advantages of using a mix-in over single inheritance are that you can write code for the functionality one time, and then use the same functionality in multiple different classes. The disadvantage is that you may need to look for that functionality in other places than where it is used, so it is good to mitigate that disadvantage by keeping it close by.
I have personally found a mix-in necessary to use over single inheritance where we are unittesting a lot of similar code, but the test-cases are instantiated based on their inheritance of a base case, and the only way to keep the code close at hand (and in the same module), without messing with coverage numbers, is to inherit from object, and have the child cases inherit from both the universal test-case base and the custom base that only applies to them.
"A mixin is a fragment of a class in the sense that it is intended to be composed with other classes or mixins." -DDJ
A mixin is a class or code fragment which is not intended for stand-alone use, but instead you're supposed to use it inside of another class. Either composing it as a member field/variable or as a code segment. I have the most exposure to the later. It's a little better than copy-pasting boilerplate code.
Here's a great DDJ article that introduces the subject.
The Half-Life 2 / "Source" SDK is a great example of C++ mixins. In that environment macros define sizable blocks of code which can be added to give the class a specific "flavor" or feature.
Look at the Source wiki example: Authoring a Logical Entity. In the example code the DECLARE_CLASS macro can be considered a mixin. Source SDK uses mixins extensively to standardize the data-access code and ascribe behaviors to entities.
With multiple inheritance, new class may be composed from multiple superclasses. You can call only methods defined in any of superclasses.
On the other hand, mixin is an abstract subclass that may be used to specialize the beavior of a variety of parent classes. Mixins may call a method (for example
As you see, you can call

"Somebody said it Couldn't be done" Two years ago I was 220lbs, had very high blood pressure and was on the highest dose of Beta Blockers that was normally allowed. Two years later I am 40lbs lighter in weight (but I have converted even more lard into steak) my BP is back down to normal and I am Beta Blocker Free. Mission Accomplished!
I couldn't have done it without the help of Nicky Eagle and Hannah Lewis at Oxfordshire Personal Training.com and of course my fellow Bootcampers who are too numerous to name. And of course to my wonderful wife Sarah who booked me in in the first place. Thanks everyone for pushing me, making me go harder and faster and keeping me honest. Eat well, move more and dont ever ever give up!Nick Blacow
What can i say… After less than 20 sessions, i'm in the shape of my life and enjoying every minute… Thanks to all the instructors and attendees, who make it what it is… What are you waiting for? Try it out!Matt Kohl Brooks
For Personal Training Hannah and Nick are the best. Keep me motivated and on track.Debbie Witney
All the trainers and the other members of Bootcamp and always motivational and can be relied upon to keep you going when things get tough
Just come along for a free session and see what you think – you never know you might like it and stay – I did!
'll be honest, I've tried personal trainers in the past and got nowhere. For sure personal training is as it says personal so it will take time to get a match. Having said that, seeing the many that gather in St James' Park every lunchtime doing the same exercises hour after hour day after day looking SO bored with themselves and their clients – really makes you wonder are they even into it themselves…… This was one last go following a self made weight loss programme, a punt if you like to get fully fit before hitting 40! A punt that was TOTALLY and UTTERLY worth it!
Since joining OPT a year ago the trainers and everyone involved in Bootcamp has helped me to keep motivated and never give up. I have managed to loose pounds slowly but surely and also my body shape has changed to a more desirable shape. Doing Bootcamp sessions 4 times a week has helped me to achieve my goals.
Nick is an excellent trainer. I was worried about gym work because of a long-standing injury but he is great at tailoring exercises exactly for the individual. In 5 weeks so far I have regained fitness and strength I would not have imagined, and feel really motivated to continue. Highly recommend!Anna Macdonald
Love it! Nick and Hannah are so supportive. Would recommend it to anyoneSamantha Young
Hannah and James are excellent – they really do push us hard! But it's not all gruelling, we have a great laugh and everyone is so friendly. Give it a go, you will start to see results after a few weeks!Sarah Sqwiff

If you want to run faster, bike longer or see some of that hard-earned muscle show through, you need to understand body composition. Learning about your body composition is key to your optimal performance and appearance because it can help you strategize an exercise plan in terms of your need to lose fat, build muscle or both.
Body composition testing determines how much of your body is and isn't fat. The non-fat part of your body is called lean tissue, which includes your muscle, water, bone and organs. Lean tissue is known as metabolically active tissue, the tissue that burns calories all day.
