Decibel customers get 'burstable' hosting resource for optimum website performance
Decibel Technology, a leading software specialist for web development and website management, has partnered with iomart Hosting to provide website owners with a secure and resilient hosting platform, with extra value 'pay what you use' services, all at the click of a button.
Built on a highly scalable cloud infrastructure from iomart Hosting, one of the UK's leading providers of bespoke cloud and managed hosting services, Decibel Technology's new managed service gives businesses of all sizes simple 'point and click' provisioning of a hosting account and are billed only for what resource they have used and when. The managed hosting service also provides 'burstable' resource on demand for occasions when extra power is needed, for example at peak holiday booking times or the Christmas retail season. Decibel hosting is not only economically advantageous but also mitigates the risk of not having bought enough resource, which can often reduce website performance.
Decibel's hosting package has been designed specifically to address the industry trend of website owners having to forecast the amount of resource required to run their websites and pay for it, irrespective of whether the capacity is used or not.
"Decibel's managed hosting is designed simply to put our customers in full control of their website, to ensure it is operating at all times at optimum performance," said Ben Harris, CEO, Decibel Technology. "Hosting is often expensive, inflexible and complicated, so we designed a managed service package that removes static costs, gives customers point and click provisioning and provides burstable resource when they need it, in real-time. iomart Hosting is a best in class provider and a natural delivery partner for Decibel Technology clients."
The Decibel Technology hosting solution through iomart Hosting is a highly resilient, secure and scalable solution run on an industry leading VMware platform. Customers are provided with 24/7 monitoring and management and a 100% uptime Service Level Agreement (SLA). Decibel Technology provides clients with dedicated monitoring, charts of server usage and email updates of any minor or significant changes.
Sarah Haran, managing director of iomart Hosting, said: "iomart Hosting has a long history of supporting innovative companies in the software and applications market and we're delighted that Decibel Technology has turned to us to provide the highly scalable cloud infrastructure they need to give their clients secure yet affordable hosting."

The illustration is self-explanatory.
I have new students, fresh to yoga. And some who have tried different yoga classes. I prefer the rank new comers to yoga because it depresses me to see how even after 2 or 3 years with a teacher or style some students don't have the basics right, of a yoga code of conduct or even poses like the fish ,matsyasana ( which is a qualifying pose that way) ).
Some of these teachers are teaching celebs and some teachers have super practices.
So even while learning yoga myself I have seen how a pracititioner with a super yoga practice can be a lousy teacher. Then there are timid teachers who share more theory than practice. Some teachers who focus on standing / floor poses for the entire class because to teach inversions or arm balances is too demanding. The variations and combinations of teachers and students are exhausting.
It used to irritate me how casually yoga was being treated including by big institutions. Often it has become a way in which ashram heads keep rich people / donors happy by making them yoga teachers! It gives bored rich women a halo and it gets the ashrams more bored rich donors seeking salvation. But I have resolved this irritation now ..in my head. I believe u get the yoga teacher u deserve.
So if u are in a class where sadhana is not paramount that is your choice, your karma.

Why sitting cross-legged can sort u physically, spiritually
Often it is funny how people pretending to be seated still will wriggle their toes or feet. They are extremely disturbed at sitting cross-legged on the ground. But it's an ancient Indian practice now trying a comeback. It's treated as an exotic pose.the lotus or padmasana. But it should be natural to us. Sitting on the chair could be unnatural, disconnected na?
The other equally neglected pose but which is celebrated by ancient rishis is siddhasana. For women the version would be siddhayoniasana.
Here is why sitting cross-legged works even if only at the physical level. According to Swami Niranjanananda (in his comment on siddhasana) : Meridians in the feet are stimulated and they are connected with the visceral organs eg the stom
ach, gallbladder, liver, spleen, kidneys, etc and all these poses have important roles in purifying the blood. "

Urdhva dandasana: why this pose should not be used as entry for headstand
Urdhva dandasana/ upward rod pose. I also like to refer to it as samkonsirasana/ right angle headstand. Entire pressure builds up on neck and shoulders. I was very very surprised when students from other yoga schools said their teachers had tried to coax them to enter the basic headstand in this pose. Clearly none of those beginners got the headstand. Without preparing the neck for the strength to do it is really strange and even dangerous, and can cause chronic neck pain.
* Most yoga teachers who don't have the patience to teach the akunchanasan / scrunch or heron transition in the basic headstand will push their students to try this..it's an advanced pose and needs more strength
* Since the hips move off the center right towards the back more scope for falling. .so only an experienced yoga practitioner can control that shift
* More awareness required to draw the hips back to center..again only an advanced practitioner can control this
* Also elbows will lift off in a beginner due to lack of control. .
Be smart in the yoga u do and choosing the quality and integrity of a teacher

The eyes are the keys
I I am learning very exciting stuff about the psychosomatic link between the eyes and one's moods. Apparently the eye muscles that surround the eyes called orbicularis oculi impact happiness centers in your brain. ( Refer The Science of Happiness by Stefan Klein ).
That made me curious about trataka. .the fifth stage of yoga.
Here are some powers that according Swami Niranjanananda come from regular practice of the eye exercises.
* One could get rid of all fears.
* The special powers of yoga called siddhis are achieved through it.
* Develops mental focus.
* Improve memory
* Develops self confidence

Happiness yoga: practice to beat the blues
Reading the biology of happiness by neuroscientist Stefan Klein( The science of happiness). So did this small diagram to explain your brain map of happiness. Am finding interesting tidbits as to you can sort yourself physically. So much of this spoors back to yoga for me and the awe how rishis guessed these connections.
If the right brain is dominant people find it difficult to recover from bad experience, even something simple like a bad image in the papers. Even after the subconscious suppresses the reaction it stays below the surface as a bad feeling.
In yoga u can sort your L -R brain imbalance and activate the left brain with the surya bheda ( the sun breath). But it needs to be monitored by an expert.
Tomorrow will ecplain how surya bheda may be done

Yoga tip for the summer
Ok everybody thinks I am just posting yoga stuff that looks exotic or complicated. Actually yoga is a way of life. Here is a summer trick u can use
Yoga tip for summer: varun mudra( also jal mudra/ jal vardhak mudra)
The names mean rain/ water/increase water respectively.
The names say it all about its benefits.
Touch tip of little finger to tip of thumb, for each hand. Hold for 30 mins or more daily.
Increases water, as well works wherever there is deficit of body fluids ..semen/ menses/ dehydration/ thirst/ eye moisture/ saliva/ digestive juices. Go back to your school biology books and search up the entire list of fluids in body then u will appreciate where all this mudra can help.
ALERT: Avoid when there is too much of any fluid. Example? Mucous, excessive menstrual bleeding, water retention. Also ayurvedic kapha personality should avoid it.

Tips for Bhumi Pada Mastakasana: Head and foot to to earth pose, advanced variation
Though many yoga schools consider this as the preparatory pose for headstand, I believe this is tougher than a headstand if you decide to stay longer in it. The headstand itself is far lighter than this pose. This is because your body is still close to gravity and therefore its power and drag is more felt.
Here is why this pose is tougher and demands more strength than the headstand:
* It is closer to gravity, so the drag on it is more
* The pressure on the neck is continuous, unlike in the headstand where after the initial pressure the whole body weight shifts to the shoulder.
* The tripod in a basic or even the unsupported headstand is more stable while in this pose, even in its basic variation, it is very unstable, and the entire instability of this pose shifts into neck.
How to avoid injuries in this pose:
* Practice unsupported headstand before trying this.
* Prepare the neck through regular leg raises, with the head lifted up (including in the suptapawanmuktasana) to strengthen the neck.
Do not try if having
* Neck problems
* Vertigo
* Weak balance (strengthen it in standing poses first)
* Migraine
* High blood pressure/heart problems

Rediscovering Astavakragita
When I read the Astavakra Gita the first time I was completely smitten. But I am re-reading it now and find finer fibres of understanding that's magical. I could write reams or put across its magic in a few words. I am going to attempt the latter: the more popular philosophical texts advice us how to be pure or give directions on how to reach this state. Or they unravel the trajectory towards that state. But this tiny text book says, "You are pure." That you do not need to struggle. That bit is over. Wow. What a mindblowing idea..there is nothing to do any more!
Chapter 19, verse 8:
"To talk about the three ends of life is needless,to talk about yoga is purposeless, and even talk about wisdom is irrelevant for me who repose in the Self. "

Yoga: of happy scissors, karmic cats
Free MySpace Animations!
We all have our phases. The last one year has been a period of spiritual upheaval for me. It is the sort of crossroads you come to, where the you realize the theory of yoga has to finally pass into experience.
Birth of any sort can be traumatizing. We humans do not like to accept that we are passing through several little deaths and several new births, every few years. None of us are anything close to what we were as kids, yet we hang on to a sense of illusory continuum.
So, to let go of a lot of things that are conditioned into us, is what yoga is all about. There is a lot of embarrassment about seeing this aspect (so intrinsic to yoga), for obvious reasons, and a lot of it stemming from confused religio-spiritual interpretations of it.
But this is a very scientific thing -- if you know of Shroedinger's Cat, then reality is a relative thing. The cat -- in this very scientific paradox of quantum mechanics because of what is defined as a superposition - can be both dead or alive. (What did you guys study in schools, if you don't know this, really?!!!)
from this link)
So, yes, what is sad could be joyous?! So, it means what is a separation can be a communion? You make some sort of a sense from this madness of appearances. In yogic philosophy, the jiva (the soul as you experience yourself now) is different from the atma (that is the soul that has passed ages). The latter in its separation from the cosmic soul makes tough choices. The conflict between these two - jiva and atma -- make the drama of your current life. You could die not knowing the subtext of this experience. That too would be a choice of your soul. But if there is a glimmer of awareness, you are lucky.
Then, you realize that everything else that you experience in this life is your soul's choice to make the jiva understand this. The purgatory, as it were. Karma, so blithely explained by many as tit-for-tat is not really that. Au contraire, it is the choice of you own soul to create tough spiritual choices so it can transcend and reach its destination faster. It is an impatient Olympic runner who has no patience for a plodding partner. The destination, the plodder, the super-runner, are all the same. The one who experiences no conflict between these several roles, understands yoga.
Some enlightened soul immediately understand how this paradox can exist. Others, aspiring, have to struggle. The practice of yoga makes lights up this passage of struggle. It clarifies.
So, no I have not attained moksha yet. But I get the idea of the karmic Schroedinger's cat, thanks to yoga.

Sacred geometry. .yantras
Sacred geometry is a complete subject in itself. In yoga it is the esoteric yantras. But across the globe, across cultures, across human history, geometric figures have always been part of sacred rituals and sacred spaces. Today I was thinking of focusing on one figure and learn about its impact on human psyche: so its the circle.
Here is what master yogi Harish Johari has if point is condensed energy a circle is its extension.
Simply put a circle defines:
* Phenomenal world
* Infinity
* Space
Johari also says it represents dynamism
Scientists who study the connection between art and the human brain will tell us that at a very subliminal level the geometric shapes do carry
a subtext loaded with meaning. Ergonomists, interior designers, architects, space consultants already exploit this connection.

The gifts u win for sitting calmly
According to Tibetan Buddhist leader Thich Naht Hanh:
* Courage
* Compassion
* Clarity
* Peace
We first get compassion. This gets us courage. Its interesting to note that compassion is linked with courage. This is directly opposite to what we have been taught so far.
Compassion for yourself and others gives you the courage to fight your spiritual battles. And compassion can be cultivated only when we are at peace with ourselves. And when we are at peace mentally we can think clearly.

Svargadvidasana:bird of paradise pose
It's an exotic among exotic poses. So fills u with exhilaration. .even a master like BKS is not above that thrill as mentioned in his Light on Yoga book. This a very tough variation of the basic one. In the latter the top leg is held with this leg lock. Holding the bottom leg requires tremendous control over balance.
Tip: Master the basic. Then use a wall to lean while experimenting with this version. It falls in place, suddenly. Pure serendipity. .

More on mayurasana: try this quiz before you learn about its powerful impact
This is one of the most spiritual poses, simply because of its purificatory nature. In Indian mythology a peacock is the natural enemy of a snake, and therefore this pose also has that implication -- that it is the natural enemy of the toxic part of who we are !
Swami Satyananadaji who writes a lot on poses from various angles -- the psychic, spiritual, biological and psycho-somatic -- says it can speed up the throw of toxins and should be part of those who want to clarify things, internally or externally. Along these lines, it can help skin clear up, tone the digestion, and tone the entire endocrine gland system.
Here are Swamiji's words: That it should be done towards the end of one's practice because it builds up toxins, imminent to their release. And if you do inversions after the peacock, you may end up with toxin overload in your head!

Peacock pose, understanding the risks
The peacock pose is amongst the classic poses normally listed in most yoga texts. As you read them, you will find that certain poses are mentioned as common favorites by these ancient hatha yogis. And peacock pose is one of the spiritual poses, and helps you to digest poison physically (and also mentally, I gather).
But certain schools -- especially the therapy based ones -- do not recommend this where certain existing problems persist. Equally, similarly "timid" schools would say that this pose is contraindicated for women and totally avoidable. There is a very good reason for this, if you remember the context in which it is placed. In earlier traditions, and I would say right up to my mom's time, most deliveries of babies were natural births. My mom would say that a woman was physically very busy till the last day of her delivery which facilitated natural childbirth. Plus, most women had several offspring. By the time she reached the third baby, often her hips had widened, and her reproductive system become so flexible inside that she could stand holding the cradle (they used to have the saree tied to a wooden rod, I recall) and feel the baby emerging and could deliver easily and smoothly!
All of this meant of course, that there was a certain natural looseness at the uterine passage. So, peacock, because it applies tremendous pressure, can cause uterine prolapse in such women or if they have incidence of it, worsen the situation.
It is also not recommended for those with a fragile heart. The elbows squeeze into the large liver, one whose functions is to sponge off excess blood that piles up in the cardiac chambers. So, for those with a heart condition, the pressure that piles up at the heart would be beyond permissible levels.
Women who wish to hold the pose and ensure the pelvic floor does not slacken with regular practice of the peacock pose (mayurasana) must hold the root lock firmly when lifting up.
Happy sadhana

Kukkutasana: cockerel pose
You enter the pose in garbasana /or garba pindasana -- the embryo pose with legs locked in lotus, and arms through your legs. Then roll over in a rocking motion. The last few rolls should bring you up on the mat, till you lift your hips clear off the mat and hold. Once you go up, your calves and things should lift "grasp" the arms, to lift you even higher.
Just now, the image above was not entered that way. But will post one soon, with a higher lift, to explain it in detail.
Happy sadhana!

The chakra problems you did not know about
So, this is a list of the huge problems that most people do not know
Mooladhara -- Illusion, anger, greed, violent reactions, insecurity.
SWadhistana chakra-- Emotional yo-yos. Restless anxiety
Manipura -- Selfish actions,ego,anger, power.
Anahata chakra -- Purgatory may be experienced, if negative karmas are enacted.
Vishuddha chakra --Throat center -- Negative intellect, or using the intellect unwisely
Ajna Chakra - Third Eye center --
Sahasrara chakra -- Crown Center -- Negative intellect, negation of the divine. Also,when the yogi attains bliss, all action may cease so tamas loka (plane of laziness) may occur.

10 life-style habits that affect your energy
It is not that yoga seeks to change you in a rigid fashion, but the implication is that your lifestyle deeply affects your energy fields and that you could control a lot of such dissipation, through discipline and love for what you do. How you think, even that matters.
I do not want to lecture you. Rather, I quote teachers far greater than I, and who know everything best.
Swami Satyanandaji in one of his books says that lifestyle definitely affects your pranamayakosha (energy body).
Here is a list
1. Physical activity
2. Work
3. Sleep
4. Food intake
5. Sexual relations
7. Imagination
8. Irregularities in lifestyle
9.Dietary indiscretions
This is what drains one's energy. There are five movements of prana /energy. One prana being depleted means blockage in overall energy flow, disease, metabolic dysfunction.
Pranayamas largely help against this depletion and revitalize the body.

Foot problems?
Free MySpace Animations!
I bought this little booklet 1001 Home Remedies Natural cures, by Esme Floyd. It is very accessible book, without too verbosity and neatly indexed remedies for every known problem (or so it seemed).
It is a book you may want to pick up, for sure.
Somebody had asked me remedies for fungal toe, and I am sharing some tips from that book (so as to prod you into buying the book).
* Cornmeal foot bath. Soak cornmeal in slightly warm water, Let stand for half hour. Then take a foot bath in it, for an hour. Repeat weekly.
* Rub vick vaporub on feet at night, cover with socks. Repeat daily, till fungus disappear. Ditto for the last tip also.
* Alternately, do a foot rub with this solution: a few drops of peppermint oil added to eucalyptus oil. Again cover feet with socks before sleeping.
Let me know if this worked for you!

Gupta padmasana:hidden lotus
This is a pose I am reclaiming after a year or so. Earlier, on a good day, I could be in it for a long time. But not enough to make it what it deserves and truly is, a meditation posture. Which means half hour at the least!
And with cleaner and more settled lines at the hips.
It has many physical benefits:
* Hip alignment
* Powers the heart
* Expands lung volume
* Boosts respiratory capacity
* Manages spinal problem, cleans up posture
* Helps control rounded back/dowager's hump
* Improves arm and upper flexibility, plus leg and hip tone.
* Psychic impact?
* Heals the heart center/anahata chakra
* Improves emotional balance
Though the name means hidden lotus, implying the legs in lotus remain hidden beneath the body, I also believe the name could be because of the impact on the hidden nadi, also called gupt nadi -- this one, according to the Bihar School of Yoga, runs from the knees along the inside of the thighs into the perineum

Meditation and neutral feelings
A lot of "dramatic" meditation is being done by certain yoga schools, almost designed into slapstick comedies. That works for the boss gurus and attracts the sort of crowd that looks for spiritual entertainment -- which is the latest sort of fun really.
My transcripts are mostly by the Bihar School of yoga, from their innumeraable books.My favorite is of course of Swami Satyananandaji's meditations -- very healing and soothing, with a sweet and accessible language and structure.
Of course there is no yoga without meditation.
Often, I see people unable to manage their poses despite great physical prowess. I also see people dropping out of practice altogether. Even sickness and injuries that comes as natural part of life -- it surprises me practitioners allow that and do not see it is because they are resolutely resisting meditation.
Though asanas and pranayama (another aspect of yoga largely neglected all over) do a lot towards sickness control, ultimately, if there is no meditation there is no yoga and not its benefits either, it seems.
And no, it is not me saying it. Its the way yoga is defined, because meditation is the higher limb of yoga. It may be you are unfit for it, but to think that meditation is sissy or boring, that is strange. Or to have loud hypnotic sessions where people are lolling about or passed out from psychotropic stuff?
When people who have tried these weird meditation come to my class,they get angry -- because I think the possibility of training the mind is too much for them. They have become so tuned to becoming its puppet.
Here is a quote from Thich Nath Hanh in his little amazing booklet " How to sit" which explains this strange aspect of meditation which is pure, austere.
"When you sit and breathe with mindful awareness, you become aware of al then emotions that have been ignored while you were busy doing things. You become aware of not just your sorrows and joys but also your neutral feelings. A neutral feeling is an awareness that is neither pleasant nor painful,such as an awareness of a part of your body that is not in pain. With awareness, we can transform a neutral feeling into a pleasant feeling.
When you have a toothache, the feeling is very unpleasant. When you don't have a toothache, you usually have a neutral feeling: you are not aware of your toothache. When you are mindful of not having a toothache, then what was a netural feeling becomes a feeling of peace and joy. You are so happy not have a toothache in this moment. By transforming neutral feelings into joyful ones, we nourish our happiness."
That is obviously a tough act. Most people want explosive experiences. And keep on cultivating them. And of course, there are gurus who cater precisely to these sentiments.
So it is natural that meditation is not for everyone.

The biology of meditation
If you notice, most religions have the habit of laying the forehead on the ground (before chairs and stools took over). This obviously activates the third eye.
So, this book Ajna Chakra lists a research published in Biological Psychology by G. A Tooley, which lists these following benefits by managing the release of metatonin which is
* a potent anti-oxidant (which protects against free radical damage)
* free radical scavenger ( free radical cause disease and aging, so melatonin fights them)
* reduces cellular damage of living
* it is anti-cancer
* Immunoaugmenting (boosts immunity)
* anti-stress (stress can kill brain cells conclusively, and is a known cause for most diseases, and hastens aging for sure)

LONDON (AFP) - West Brom cruised past Leicester 3-0 on Friday to edge closer to automatic promotion to the Premier League with an eighth successive home win equalling their best previous run set in 1949.
West Brom are 12 points clear of third-placed Nottingham Forest who only have another 18 left to play for, and could even be promoted on Monday should results go their way over the next three days.
James Morrison fired the home side into the lead with a half volley before Robert Koren doubled the advantage in first-half injury-time.
Slovenian international Koren grabbed his second of the match late on.
"It was important to win and it will be important to win our remaining home games," said West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo whose side are a point behind leaders Newcastle but have played two games more.
"It was a great performance considering the importance of the game. The first half was quite even and we were probably lucky to go ahead.
"The second goal was a good time to score, to go in with a 2-0 lead, and the third was just a bonus."
Blackpool boosted their bid to land a play-off place with a 4-2 victory at struggling Scunthorpe.
They took the lead through Andrew Wright's 22nd-minute own goal before Grant McCann equalised from the penalty spot three minutes into the second half.
Seamus Coleman restored Blackpool's lead in the 77th minute before DJ Campbell struck twice in three minutes to seal the points.
Gary Hooper reduced the deficit in the final moments but Scunthorpe remain five points above the relegation zone.

Driver charged after crash puts man in coma
A 31-year-old Huntington Beach man has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in connection with a high-speed freeway crash that left another man in a coma with a severe brain injury.
Oscar Paz is being held on $50,000 bail and faces a felony hit-and-run charge and a misdemeanor count of driving on a suspended license. He pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, and a pre-trial court hearing was scheduled for next week.
Prosecutors say Paz was driving his Volkswagen Jetta at a high rate of speed on the 22 freeway early Sunday morning when he rear-ended another car in the slow lane. The collision rammed the other car, a Nissan Pulsar, across the freeway and into the center divider, prosecutors say.
The 66-year-old driver of that car suffered head injuries and was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center, where he remains in a coma in critical condition, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors accuse Paz of exiting the freeway without stopping, then parking his car at a strip mall and fleeing on foot. He turned himself in seven hours after the collision, according to the District Attorney's Office.
He faces a maximum sentence of three years in state prison if convicted.

Question & Answers
How much diamonds does it take to get all the chest
How much diamond total does it cost to continue until all the chest are gone in pirate ship? E.g.1st continue 19 diamond
Answer from: Jt
At least for the chaos alloy, you need them about 1550
Answer from: Kenkikato
The total is 441 diamonds including play and 1st continuel
Answer from: The butterfly
No, you need to triple that amount. You need something like 1500 or 1600 diamonds, but take two thousand to be sure. By the way, only continue after the two free trials if there are two rare weapon parts in the chests. If you open every chest, you'll get both! This is very rare though. So: get at least 1600 diamonds and unlock every chest when there are two weapon parts to get all parts faster.
Answer from: Rich kid
No u need about 5000 diamonds because i tried it and it took less than 5000 diamonds but take 5000 just incase
Answer from: Big boss
You nead 1551 diamonds

Bad Lieutenant
1992 Directed by Abel Ferrara
Gambler. Thief. Junkie. Killer. Cop.
While investigating a young nun's rape, a corrupt New York City police detective, with a serious drug and gambling addiction, tries to change his ways and find forgiveness.

An empty threat. China fuckin' White. Real fuckin' justice. Holy fuckin' hallucinations. Some real good shit. The way Harvey says cocksucker. The bus. Checking out for good. Harvey fuckin' Keitel blows it out…
Ferrara at his rudest and crudest best. It goes without saying that this isn't for everyone. Keitel's character has no redeeming virtues - he's everything you don't wanna cop to be - and he's only going downhill further. Yet you care about him and can't take your eyes away even if Ferrara takes him deeper and deeper into despair. This is certainly one of Keitel's best performances, brilliantly embodying all the physical and spiritual pain life has to offer.
Bad Lieutenant is a crime drama that follows the story of a cop who, while investigating a nun's rape, tries to straighten out his life. Ferrara builds an excellent character study on an unlikeable man who leads a life of corruption (by abusing his authority as a lieutenant) and who finds himself cornered with his addictions (drug and gambling) that threaten to destroy his life.
Instead of trying to establish a real 'story', director Abel Ferrara insvests in a controversial study on a man who tries to find redemption after a life of corruption and bad choices, in a detailied examination of a man's nihilist life, a cop who abuses of his social position to lead a semi anarchist life.…
For some reason I've always remembered Bad Lieutenant as a 70s film. There's something about its detachment and struggles with morality that harks back to early Scorsese, especially with Harvey Keitel in the lead role. It becomes more than a mere homage to Mean Streets as Abel Ferrara mirrors Scorsese by weighing down Keitel's boots with Catholic guilt and having him commit a series of unforgivable sins.
The Lieutenant in question is more than a corrupt cop, he's a pervert, a drunk, and a drug addict. He's the sort of guy John Doe and Jigsaw would have a field day with as sin oozes from every pore of his body like thick black tar. His actions are not mere indulgences,…
Less a narrative than an examination of the depths of redemption, Bad Lieutenant takes an unlikable asshole and asks us how much we can take before we want him dead. Harvey Keitel's Lieutenant is a complete monster, a walking pharmacy cabinet, and, besides a strikingly inane suburban side-life, has nothing redeeming about him. We're treated to increasingly detestable episodes that showcase his brutality, hubris, and utter nihilism until there's seemingly no deeper he can sink.
The showcasing of his banal domestic life seems to be director Abel Ferrara's indication that most, if not all, of LT's woes are of his own causing. He mistakes self-destruction for pride. He thinks himself untouchable, even as he becomes more and more erratic. It…
Pretty sure I disliked this at the time, probably for the same reason I like it now: Nothing but downward spiral, plus one agonized act of forgiveness. The early, iconic scene in which Lt. Bad staggers around naked, his face a mask of pain, arguably does more harm than good—it's certainly arresting and memorable (so much so that it became the primary marketing image), but it overwhelms what's otherwise a remarkably flat, almost procedural portrait of ingrained vice. I liked Herzog's "remake," too, but try to imagine Nicolas Cage just zipping up his pants and silently walking back to his car after forcing those two girls to perform for him; that there isn't even a sardonic "You ladies drive…

We basically follow a Harvey Keitel's character, who has no redeeming qualities, from scene to scene without any purpose or direction. Bad Lieutenant tries to hard to be unsettling, however only ever comes across as desperate. While Keitel's character is terrible, Keitel's performance is excellent and is the one of just a few reasons anyone should watch this film.
was harvey keitel's performance actually good or was i fooled by his non-stop crying and screaming
"Vício Frenético não é o melhor filme de Abel Ferrara - apesar de estar ali nas cabeças -, mas é, provavelmente, o filme-símbolo de seu cinema. Não a toa duas cenas aqui são peças primordiais para entender o que são e o que move seus personagens ao longo de sua injustiçada filmografia. (...)"
So so good. Fucking brilliant, in fact. This movie doesn't get enough credit. It's bleak, it's depressing, but it's a work of art. Between this and Reservoir Dogs, 1992 was the Year of Harvey Keitel.
This lieutenant is one bad lieutenant, bad bad bad bad bad bad
Show me how you suck a guy's cock.
Keitel's performance is the main show here, but Ferrara's direction is essential to get into the troubled, claustrophobical mind of the character.
Scattered moments of pure brilliance.
This character story centers on a police lieutenant deep in the throes of addiction, whether that be of the substance or gambling variety. After the raping of a nun, he begins a journey of introspection. Much of this film's reputation rests on the extreme and graphic nature of the material within, but more than anything this is a graphic and dark descent into the human condition.
The film's focus is squarely on the Lieutenant throughout the run time. Sure, he may cross paths with overs, but its impressive in the way that every character in the film is virtually nameless, and simply serves to bring and and accentuate the central character. Full immersion into the…
A gritty grimy bad cop character study that I constantly had to remind myself wasn't made or set in the 70's. Ferrara makes replicates the feel of an early Scorcese while also making it feel like his own.
The only possible way I can think of to explain Keitel's performance is that he must have actually been drinking and drugging the whole time.

When African-Americans marched on Washington in 1963, it was under the banner of "Jobs and Freedom." There remains a great inequity with the former; the number of unemployed blacks in America remains twice as much as whites, and has remained that way for largely six decades, beginning in the 1940s. The reasons behind this unemployment disparity is complex.
The jobless rate among whites last month was 6.6 percent; among blacks, 12.6 percent. The unemployment rate for blacks has averaged about 2.2 times that for whites.

Keywords: Unemployment, black Americans, white Americans, disparity
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The earliest year for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics has consistent unemployment data by race, in 1954, the white rate averaged five percent and the black rate averaged 9.9 percent.
The jobless rate among whites last month was 6.6 percent; among blacks, 12.6 percent. The unemployment rate for blacks has averaged about 2.2 times that for whites.
Come look at our beautiful collection of rosaries -- by going here --
For the largest disparities among unemployed blacks and whites, in the late 1980s, black unemployment was as much as 2.77 times that of white unemployment. The manufacturing sectors that employed disproportionate shares of African-Americans at that time dried up.
Ironically, the smallest gap between black and white unemployment came in the summer of 2009 during the Great Recession. White unemployment at that time rose so high, so fast, that the black jobless rate was "only" 1.67 times higher.
This disparity appears to have emerged in the 1940s, according to a 1999 analysis of Census data. Although labor economists, sociologists and other researchers have offered many explanations for the persistent two-to-one gap, theirs is no consensus on causes. One 2011 working paper, after reviewing existing research on wage and unemployment differentials among blacks and whites, concluded that "none of the existing models of race discrimination in the labor market explains the major empirical regularities."
Blacks are "the last to be hired in a good economy, and when there's a downturn, they're the first to be released," William A. Darity Jr. of Duke University told Salon in 2011, is one common explanation.
Furthermore, a 2010 article testing that "last hired, first fired" hypothesis against panel data from the Current Population Survey (from which the unemployment rate is derived) found considerable support for the "first fired" part but not for the "last hired" part.
It was found that while blacks are in fact disproportionately likely to lose their jobs as the business cycle weakens, but the hiring side is more complex: "[E]arly in the business cycle, those blacks with a stronger attachment to the labor force (i.e., the unemployed) are the first hired. Blacks who are nonparticipants tend to be hired late in the business cycle when labor demand is particularly strong."
