Who said?
"On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly.
The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both.
I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?
And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of "conservatism."
the speaker of these words after the flip...(hint: 1964)
-- Barry Goldwater
Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) source: Wikiquotes. second source: famous-quote.net
How far the GOP has fallen...Just as Eisenhower warned of the emerging military industrial complex, so too did Goldwater warn of religious extremists thinking they could control our public discourse and political decisions.
A couple more of his
A couple more of his quotes:
"Every good Christian should line up and kick Jerry Falwell's ass."
"I don't have any respect for the Religious Right. There is no place in this country for practicing religion in politics. That goes for Falwell, Robertson and all the rest of these political preachers. They are a detriment to the country."

"Goldwater Conservatives" have no welcome home in the Republican Party... Just ask Ron Paul or Jessie Ventura...
I never thought of Ventura as being in the Goldwater mode -- he struck me as more of a centrist populist. (Well, that and something of a flake who pretty much lost interest in being Governor once he found out it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be.)

I have long believed that
I have long believed that today's Republican Party would run Barry Goldwater out of town on a rail.
Heck, they'd probably run off Teddy Roosevelt -- breaking up trusts? Conservationism? He'd just be called one of those "libb-burr-ulls" and shunted off to the side.
Of course, on the other paw, I never thought I'd have a President who made me long for Bush the Elder, and two Attorney Generals that made me long for Edwin Meese, much less a Republican Party that made me wish Goldwater was still politically active.
I recall Goldwater saying
I recall Goldwater saying something in his old age about being accused of becoming more liberal. He said that the party had simply gone so far to the right as to make him look liberal.
Thinking of Edwin Meese, these two Goldwater quotes from here come to mind:
I wouldn't trust Nixon from here to that phone.
Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American people and the world.

Goldwater was deeply
Goldwater was deeply influenced by his gay grandson. That changed his POV on a lot of things.
I've seen that, when
I've seen that, when Goldwater came out (so to speak...) in favor of allowing gays to serve openly in the military, some of the Arizona Republicans tried to get his name taken off some of the streets and buildings and such that were named in his honor.
I actually have two responses to that
- how sad
- That's why you don't name things after people until they're dead
I remember during the 1988
I remember during the 1988 campaign, the Republicans sent Dan Quayle to Goldwater's birthday party. Quayle gave the standard speech, Goldwater thanked him, and then, as Quayle walked away, Goldwater added, "oh, and when you get back to Washington, tell George Bush to start talking about the issues."
The words "deer in the headlights" definitely applied to J. Danforth at that moment. He finally managed to say something, "Senator Goldwater, one thing we Republicans is how you hide your opinions and never tell us how you really feel. C'mon, speak up!"
As far as Goldwater's quotes on Nixon go, I've also often heard Eisenhower didn't like or trust Nixon either.
Wow, though... it just shows how far to the right the Republicans have gone when a progressive web site has people reminiscing fondly about Barry "in your heart, you know he's right... wing -- in your guts, you know he's nuts" Goldwater.
Exactly. This is nuke-em Goldwater
The one who wanted to use tactical nukes on the battlefield in Vietnam.
I wonder if McInsane wouldn't do the same.

The newest "Ice Age" is out next month, and at least a couple critics seem to wish the franchise would hurry up and go extinct. Writing for The Wrap, Alonso Duralde opens his review by calling the series as a whole "so blandly forgettable that parents could probably show an earlier entry to their kids and pretend it's the new one." He continues, writing that the fifth installment in the prehistoric saga lacks "laughs, energy and sharp edges in equal degrees to its predecessors" and "takes huge strides in the hotly-contested race to be 2016's Most Irrelevant Sequel."

Jacki Weaver, known for her breakout role in "Animal Kingdom," recently spoke out about how the industry has been so welcoming to her. As opposed to many actresses who have spoken out about the lack of roles or how their looks affect their jobs, the 69-year-old Australian actress is declaring that "60 is the new 40."
"There are lots of great roles for women my age," she told The Daily Telegraph, adding that she hasn't faced any opposition from Hollywood. "I have never come across any of that. Remember, I am in my late-60s and under 5ft, so maybe those sorts of things don't apply to someone like me. Perhaps it happens to younger actors."

"Animal Kingdom" is an odd beast. Adapted from the arresting 2010 Australian thriller, this TNT offering contains glimpses of the gritty, compelling series it could be, but judged on its first three episodes, this tale of a dysfunctional Southern California crime family is more bark than bite. Highlighted by a deliciously sleazy turn from Ellen Barkin, "Animal Kingdom" slowly finds its footing, but it remains to be seen whether the characters' low-life machinations will produce sufficient drama to justify audiences' patience. Kicking off June 14 with a two-hour premiere, the series begins as writer-director David Michôd's film did. Moody teen J (Finn. »

"BrainDead" is a new comedic political thriller from "The Good Wife" creators, Robert and Michelle King, that premiered on Monday, June 13. The series follows Laurel Healy (Mary Elizabeth WInstead), a young fresh-faced Hill staffer who gets her first job in Washington D.C. and discovers that aliens have spawned on Earth and are feeding on the brains of Congressmen and other federal employees. After its debut, it looks as if critics are 50/50 on the new CBS series.
Maureen Ryan from Variety writes, "'BrainDead' doesn't lack braiiins, exactly — it lacks a spine. The frustrating thing about this comedic drama is that it takes a breezy 'a pox on both their houses' approach to telling its story….[but] takes no position at all regarding who's right and wrong about anything." She also explains how the show feels "dated" and "bland and incomplete."

The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg's bottom line was, "More 'InspirationDead' than 'BrainDead.'" The critic wasn't a fan of the show writing, "There are enough likable actors and easily digestible bipartisan political jabs here for occasional amusement, but it's sometimes exhausting to watch a show trying this hard for such limited returns." Adding that it is "a show that suffers from a lack of creativity and inspiration."
"The satire is as thin as Donald Trump's skin. And the pilot commits the sin of a wimpy climax," describes Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen giving it an overall score of B. "It ends on a major reversal of fortune and an ominous development, but neither land with much force. I wasn't left super-confident that the Kings have enough imagination to sustain this enterprise. But I liked it enough to find out. The cast is spunky and appealing, the writing is witty, the tone is light, the brain poop thing made me laugh."
Read More: 'Animal Kingdom' Review Roundup: Critics Are Mixed on the TV Adaptation of David Michôd's Acclaimed Crime Drama
On the other hand, Michael E. Ross of The Wrap seemed like he was pleased by the show's concept, calling it a "promisingly original, a deft combination of the tropes of a horror movie, the pace of a forensic drama and the barbs of a political satire that's thoroughly of the moment." He adds that fans of the Kings's will be in for a treat, "With our presumptively surreal political campaign underway, it takes a real stroke of genius — or madness, or a little of both — to come up with a fresh view of the circus of our national politics."
"BrainDead" airs Mondays at 10pm on CBS.

They've made some of the best thrillers of the past six years. We list some of the best modern thriller directors currently working...
Director Guillermo del Toro once described suspense as being about the withholding of information: either a character knows something the audience doesn't know, or the audience knows something the character doesn't. That's a deliciously simple way of describing something that some filmmakers often find difficult to achieve: keeping viewers on the edges of their seats.
The best thrillers leave us scanning the screen with anticipation. They invite us to guess what happens next, but then delight in thwarting expectations. We can all name the great thriller filmmakers of the past - Alfred Hitchcock, Carol Reed, Brian De Palma - but what about the current crop of directors? Here's our pick of the filmmakers who've made some great modern thrillers over the past six years - that is, between the year 2010 and the present.
Jeremy Saulnier - Blue Ruin, Green Room
To think there was once a time when Jeremy Saulnier was seriously quitting the film business.
"To be honest," Saulner told us back in 2014, "Macon and I had really given up on our quest to break into the industry and become legitimate filmmakers. So what we were trying to do with Blue Ruin was archive our 20 year arc and bring it to a close. Really just revisit our stomping grounds and use locations that were near and dear to us and build a narrative out of that."
Maybe this personal touch explains at least partly why Blue Ruin wound up getting so much attention in Cannes in 2013, signalling not the end of Saulnier and his star Macon Blair's career, but a brand new chapter. But then again, there's more than just hand-crafted intimacy in Saulnier's revenge tale; there's also its lean, minimal storytelling and the brilliance of its characterisation. Blue Ruin is such an effective thriller because its protagonist is so atypical: sad-eyed, inexperienced with guns, somewhat soft around the edges, Macon Blair's central character is far from your typical righteous avenger.
Green Room, which emerged in the UK this year, explores a similar clash between very ordinary people and extraordinary violence. A young punk band shout about anarchy and aggression on stage, but they quickly find themselves out of their depth when they're cornered by a group of bloodthirsty neo-Nazis. In Saulnier's films, grubby, unseemly locations are matched by often beautiful locked-off shots. Familiar thriller trappings are contrasted by twists of fortune that are often shocking.
Denis Villeneuve - Sicario, Prisoners
Here's one of those directors who can pack an overwhelming sense of dread in a single image: in Sicario, his searing drug-war thriller from last year, it was the sight of tiny specks of dust falling in the light scything through a window. That single shot proved to be the calm before the storm, as Villeneuve unleashed a salvo of blood-curdling events: an attempted FBI raid on a building gone horribly awry. And this, I think, is the brilliance of Villeneuve's direction, and why he's so good at directing thrillers like Sicario or 2013's superb Prisoners - he understands the rhythm of storytelling, and how scenes of quiet can generate almost unbearable tension.
Another case in point: the highway sequence in Sicario, where Emily Blunt's FBI agent is stuck in a traffic jam outside one of the most violent cities in the world. Villeneueve makes us feel the stifling heat and the claustrophobia; something nasty's going to happen, we know that - but it's the sense of anticipation which makes for such an unforgettable scene.
Prisoners hews closely to the template of a modern mystery thriller, but it's once again enriched by Villeneuve's expert pacing and the performances he gets out of his actors. Hugh Jackman's seldom been better as a father on the hunt for his missing child, while Jake Gyllenhaal mesmerises as a cop scarred by his own private traumas.
Lynne Ramsay - We Need To Talk About Kevin
Ramsay's We Need To Talk About Kevin may be the most effective psychological thriller of recent years. About the difficult relationship between a mother (Tilda Swinton) and her distant, possibly sociopathic son (Ezra Miller), Ramsay's film is masterfully told from beginning to end - which is impressive, given that the source novel by Lionel Shriver is told via a series of letters. Ramsay takes the raw material from the book and crafts something cinematic and highly disturbing: a study of guilt, sorrow and recrimination. Tension bubbles even in casual conversations around the dinner table. Miller is an eerie, cold-eyed blank. Swinton is peerless. One scene, in which Swinton's mother comes home in the dead of night, is unforgettable. Here's hoping Ramsay returns with another feature film very soon.
Morten Tyldum - Headhunters
All kinds of thrillers have emerged from Scandinavia over the past few years, whether on the large or small screen or in book form. Morten Tyldum's Headhunters is among the very best of them. The fast-paced and deliriously funny story of an art thief who steals a painting from the wrong guy, Headhunters launched Tyldum on an international stage - Alan Turing drama The Imitation Game followed, and the Sony sci-fi film Passengers is up next. It isn't hard to see why, either: Headhunters shows off Tyldum's mastery of pace and tone, as his pulp tale hurtles from intense chase scenes to laugh-out-loud black comedy.
Granted, Joel Edgerton's better known as an actor, having turned in some superb performances in the likes of Warrior, Zero Dark Thirty and Warror. But with a single film - The Gift, which he wrote, directed, produced and starred in - Edgerton established himself as a thriller filmmaker of real promise. About a successful, happily married couple whose lives are greatly affected by an old face from the husband's past, The Gift is an engrossing, unsettling movie with superb performances from Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall as well as Edgerton.
A riff on the 'killer in our midst' thrillers of the 80s and 90s - The Stepfather, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and so on - The Gift is all the more effective because of its restraint. We're never quite sure who the villain of the piece is, at least at first - and Edgerton's use of the camera leaves us wrong-footed at every turn. The world arguably needs more thrillers from Joel Edgerton.
If you haven't seen The Gift yet, we'd urge you to track it down.
David Michod - Animal Kingdom
The criminals at play in this true-life crime thriller are all the more chilling because they're so mundane - a bunch of low-level thieves, murderers and gangsters who prowl around the rougher parts of Melbourne, Australia. Writer-director David Michod spent years developing Animal Kingdom, and it was worth the effort: it's an intense, engrossing film, for sure, but it's also a believable glimpse of the worst of human nature. Ben Mendelsohn and Jacki Weaver play villains of different kinds; the latter a manipulative grandmother who looks over her brood of criminals, the former a spiteful thief. Crafting moments of incredible tension from simple exchanges, Michod launched himself as a formidable talent with this feature debut.
Affleck's period drama-thriller Argo won all kinds of awards, but we'd argue his earlier thrillers were equally well made. Gone Baby Gone was a confident debut and an economical adaptation of Dennis LeHane's novel. The Town, released in 2010, was a heist thriller that made the most of its Boston setting. One of its key scenes - a bank robbery in which the thieves wear a range of bizarre outfits, including a nun's habit - is masterfully staged. With Affleck capable of teasing out great performances from his actors and staging effective set-pieces, it's hardly surprising he's so heavily involved in making at least one Batman movie for Warner - as well as playing the hero behind the mask.
Anton Corbijn - The American, A Most Wanted Man
The quiet, almost meditative tone of Anton Corbijn's movies mean they aren't necessarily to everyone's taste, but they're visually arresting and almost seductive in their rhythm and attention to detail. Already a celebrated photographer, Corbijn successfully crossed over into filmmaking with Control, an exquisitely-made drama about Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis. Corbijn took a markedly different direction with The American, a thriller about an ageing contract killer (George Clooney) who hides out in a small Italian town west of Rome. Inevitably, trouble eventually comes calling.
Corbijn's direction remains gripping because he doesn't give us huge action scenes to puncture the tension. We can sense the capacity for violence coiled up beneath the hitman's calm exterior, and Corbijn makes sure we only see rare flashes of that toughness - right up until the superbly-staged climax.
A Most Wanted Man, based on the novel by John le Carre, is a similarly astute study of an isolated yet fascinating character - in this instance, the world-weary German intelligence agent Gunther Bachmann, brilliantly played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. Tragically, the film proved to be one of the last before Hoffman's death in 2014.
Paul Greengrass - Green Zone, Captain Phillips
Mention Greengrass' name, and the director's frequent use of handheld cameras might immediately spring to mind. But time and again, Greengrass has proved a master of his own personal approach - you only have to look at the muddled, migraine-inducing films of his imitators to see how good a director Greengrass is. Part of the filmmakers' visual language rather than a gimmick, Greengrass' camera placement puts the viewer in the middle of the story, whether it's an amnesiac agent on the run (his Bourne films) or on a hijacked aircraft (the harrowing United 93). While not a huge hit, Green Zone was an intense and intelligent thriller set in occupied Iraq. The acclaimed Captain Phillips, meanwhile, was a perfect showcase for Greengrass' ability to fuse realism and suspense; the true story of a merchant vessel hijacked by Somali pirates, it is, to quote Greengrass himself, "a contemporary crime story."
John Hillcoat - Lawless, Triple 9
We can't help thinking that, with a better marketing push behind it, Triple 9 could have been a much bigger hit when it appeared in cinemas earlier this year. It has a great cast - Chiwetel Ejiofor, Norman Reedus, Anthony Mackie and Aaron Paul as a group of seasoned thieves, Kate Winslet cast against type as a gangland boss - and its heist plot rattles along like an express train.
Hillcoat seems to have the western genre pulsing through his veins, and he excels at creating worlds that are desolate and all-enveloping, whether his subjects are period pieces (The Proposition, Lawless) or post-apocalyptic dramas (The Road). Triple 9 sees Hillcoat make an urban western that is both classic noir and entirely contemporary; his use of real cops and residents around the film's Atlanta location give his heightened story a grounding that is believable in the moment. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in the scene in which Casey Affleck's cop breaches a building while hunkered down behind a bullet-proof shield. Hillcoat places us right there in the scene with Affleck and the cops sneaking into the building behind him; we sense the claustrophobia and vulnerability.
Hillcoat explained to us in February that this sequence wasn't initially written this way in the original script; it changed when the director and his team discovered how real-world cops protect themselves in real-world situations. In Triple 9, research and great filmmaking combine to make an unforgettably intense thriller.
Jim Mickel - Cold In July
Seemingly inspired by such neo-Noir thrillers as Red Rock West and Blood Simple, 2014's Cold In July is a genre gem from director Jim Mickle (Stake Land, We Are What We Are). Michael C Hall plays an ordinary guy in 80s America who shoots an intruder who breaks into his home, and becomes drawn into a moody conspiracy that takes in crooked cops, porn and a private eye (who's also keen pig-rearer) played by Don Johnson. Constantly shifting between tones, Mickel's thriller refuses to stick to genre expectations. In one scene, after Hall shoots the burglar dead, Mickel's camera lingers over the protagonist as he cleans up the blood and glass. It's touches like these that make Cold In July far more than a typical thriller.
Mickel's teaming up with Sylvester Stallone next; we're intrigued to see what that partnership produces.
Martin Scorsese - Shutter Island
As a filmmaker, Scorsese needs no introduction. As a director of thrillers, he's in a class of his own: from Taxi Driver via the febrile remake of Cape Fear to the sorely underrated Bringing Out The Dead, his films are full of suspense and the threat of violence. Shutter Island, based on the Dennis LeHane novel of the same name, saw Scorsese plunge eagerly into neo-noir territory. A murder mystery set in a mental institution on the titular Shutter Island, its atmosphere is thick with menace. Like a combination of Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man and Adrian Lyne's cult classic Jacob's Ladder, Shutter Island's one of those stories where we never know who we can trust - even the protagonist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
David Fincher - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl
After the trial by fire that was Alien 3, David Fincher found his footing in the 90s with such hits as Seven and The Game. In an era where thrillers were in much greater abundance, from the middling to the very good, Seven in particular stood out as a genre classic: smartly written, disturbing, repulsive and yet captivating to look at all at once. Fincher's affinity for weaving atmospheric thrillers continued into the 2010s, first with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, a superb retelling of Stieg Larsson's book which didn't quite find the appreciative audience deserved, and Gone Girl, an even better movie which - thankfully - became a hit.
Based on Gillian Flynn's novel (and adapted by the author herself), Gone Girl is both a gripping thriller and a thoroughly twisted relationship drama. Fincher's mastery of the genre is all here: his millimetre-perfect composition, seamless touches of CGI and subtle yet effective uses of colour and shadow. While not a straight-up masterpiece like the period thriller Zodiac, Gone Girl is still a glossy, smart and blackly funny yarn in the Hitchcock tradition. If there's one master of the modern thriller currently working, it has to be Fincher.

Late in the second episode of TNT's new drama "Animal Kingdom," Ellen Barkin, who plays the family matriarch nicknamed "Smurf," stares at out the window at her naked son, standing next to a swimming pool with his exposed butt shimmering in the moonlight.
Inappropriate? Absolutely. Executive producer Jonathan Lisco likes to use the term "emotional incest" to describe the mother/son dynamic at the heart of "Animal Kingdom," which premieres Tuesday night on TNT.
Based on the 2010 Australian film that was written and directed by David Michôd, Lisco and fellow executive producer John Wells have focused on Barkin's provocative character and the unhealthy hold she wields over her four dangerous sons.
Read More: Watch: It's All About Family In New Trailer For TNT's 'Animal Kingdom' TV Series
"You can imagine that she showered with one of these kids until he was 9 or 10 or 11," Lisco told IndieWire. "She's raised these guys with love, but also with some disturbingly leaky boundaries. She's now infantilized these boys, even into adulthood, to the point where her house is still the honey pot. They are repelled by her affection, at the same time that they perversely crave it."
Lisco said the Cody clan's dysfunctional dynamic is what drew him to the series. "They would love to tell Smurf to go jump in a lake, but at the same time, they've been raised in such a way where her approval and her affection is so important to their identity that they're having a hard to extricating themselves from the gravity of the hold that she has over them."
Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson and Jake Weary play Barkin's boys, hard-bodied criminals who also harbor an "addicting" and "conflicted" brotherhood. "We're going to try and force the audience's expectations about who's good, who's stable, and who's actually the most moral in the show," Lisco said. "We're not apologizing at all for our characters. I'm not saying to lean forward and ever necessarily feel sorry for them, but if you do find yourself relating to them, I think that will be a great success, because you'll catch yourself and you'll have to remind yourself that this is indeed a family of thieves."
Read More: 'Animal Kingdom' Review Roundup
The audience's entry point is through teenager "J" (Finn Cole), who moves in with the Cody family after his mother – Smurf's estranged daughter – dies of an overdose. But even "J" may not be who he seems. "He's actually not purely innocent," Lisco said. "Don't forget, he is the son of an ex-communicated member of this family, so this is in his blood. We want to see how he evolves morally and whether or not he's going to take things into his own hands."
Like many film adaptations, Lisco said he wanted to take the original DNA of "Animal Kingdom" and expand it: "Anyone who's seen David Michôd's memorable film knows that it's not just about a family of bank robbers who pull jobs and run from the cops… [We're not] trying to sensationalize or try to do any 'TV-fied' version of the movie."
Also, Lisco added that the TV show "can't really follow the plot of the feature film because, spoiler alert: our cast will be pretty decimated way too soon if you follow the plot line of the movie. What we're going to do is, we hope, go brick by brick and look at character in a much more."
Lisco and his writing team have already mapped out "Animal Kingdom's" character paths for Season 1 and the first half of Season 2. "And even some bigger notions for where we land in season 3," he added.
Now set in Oceanside, Calif., north of San Diego, "Animal Kingdom's" plot will include elements of the law enforcement and the threat of the Cody family's capture. But the show's initial 10-episode first season is really about the family – and, specifically, Smurf's origins story.
"We have a whole backstory for her in which she was living in a car with her mother when she was young, and she saw her mom essentially not need men," Lisco said. "The mother raised Smurf with the sense that men were gullible idiots, and so when she started to mature, she decided to use her sexuality in ways that would control her own life. And what better way to do that than to supplant the men in her life in some ways with people that she could forge out of her own loins and kick the fathers to the curb?"

Ahead of its hotly-anticipated premiere next month, TNT has released an extended trailer for its upcoming series Animal Kingdom, a gritty and visceral new crime drama in the vein of hit TV shows such as Sons of Anarchy and Fargo.
Inspired by David Michôd's cult 2010 Australian film of the same name, Animal Kingdom stars Emmy and Tony Winner Ellen Barkin (Sea of Love) in the role of Janine 'Smurf' Cody (played by Oscar-nominee Jacki Weaver in the original movie). Smurf is the fierce and emotionally manipulative matriarch of the Cody family, an outlaw clan living an adrenaline-fueled, indulgent lifestyle in Southern California.
Executive produced by John Wells (ER, The West Wing) and Jonathan Lisco (Southland, Halt and Catch Fire), Animal Kingdom sees Barkin joined by a stellar supporting cast that includes Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, Daniella Alonso and Molly Gordon.

"The Crime of Being Married." So read the headline that accompanied photos of Richard Loving, a Southern "white trash" construction worker, and his African-American wife Mildred in the pages of Life magazine. One day — maybe today — audiences will sit down to watch Jeff Nichols' "Loving," which goes nearly the entire first reel before explaining that mixed-race marriages were illegal in the then-segregated Virginia of 1958, and they'll be surprised to learn what the crime in question was, having already observed and accepted the on-screen couple without the blinders of racial prejudice.
It is from this position of relative enlightenment that Nichols approaches the true story of "the Loving couple," a film of utmost sensitivity, but not nearly enough outrage, secure in its position vis-à-vis the bigotry that dominated before America's Civil Rights revolution. Like the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case that identified marriage as an inherent human right, »

If you can overlook the misplaced choice of a Kanye West track on the trailer, the first look at Justin Kurzel's "Assassin's Creed" film this week was highly promising in terms of its visuals and look. Speaking with Collider this week, he revealed that despite the subject matter - the film is trying to do as little green screen and visual effects as possible.
Part of achieving that tangible feel is working with cinematographer Adam Arkapaw. The pair worked on "Macbeth" and "Snowtown" together, and Arkapaw responsible for the looks of films like "Animal Kingdom" and shows like the first seasos of "True Detective" and "Top of the Lake". Kurzel says:
"I think after True Detective, there's a kind of classic style that he's developed now that … A very in camera style, that grounds things but at the same time finds a magic to it that we're trying to embrace with this. »

After starring in all four Hunger Games movies together, as Gale and Haymitch, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson are reuniting for a much different movie entitled The Duel. In the beloved Hunger Games franchise, both Gale and Haymitch were on the same side, as they fought to take down an evil tyrant, but The Duel pits these actors against each other, as you can see in the first trailer. Lionsgate Premiere has set a June 24 release date for The Duel, which puts it up against 20th Century Fox's Independence Day: Resurgence, Stx's Free State of Jones and Sony's The Shallows.
The Duel stars Liam Hemsworth as David Kingston, a Texas Ranger who investigates a series of murders in a small town led by a charismatic preacher named Abraham Brant, played by Woody Harrelson.

In the recent world of TV reboots, revamps and remakes, an Australian crime drama that made $1 million at the U.S. box office seems like an unlikely venture to join more established household names cluttering DVRs and streaming services. David Michôd's lauded film "Animal Kingdom" doesn't have quite the recognition of "Rush Hour," "Fuller House," "Limitless" and "The X-Files," but that may work in TNT's favor as they transport the drama from Melbourne to California. While the Michôd movie balanced brains and brawn, the TNT series favors the latter in its first episode, which was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's not a dumb show, per se, but it's one that's more focused on movement and physical presence than on dialogue in establishing its characters. In the Cody family, there's plenty of posturing from the men and preening from the matriarch, and like the actual animal kingdom, »

The cast and producers of TNT's "Animal Kingdom" are hoping to pick up where the 2010 David Michod film left off with their adaptation of the acclaimed Australian movie about a family wrapped up in a crime syndicate.
The series rendition of "Animal Kingdom" bowed at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, followed by a Q&A with some of the show's key players.
Stars Ellen Barkin, Scott Speedman and Shawn Hatosy, as well as exec producers Jonathan Lisco and John Wells, who also directed the pilot, talked about the process of adapting the movie.
Barkin plays fierce matriarch Janine "Smurf" Cody, who shares hyper sexual tension with her four grown sons. The role earned a supporting actress Oscar nomination for the film's co-star Jacki Weaver. When Smurf's grandson (played by Finn Cole) loses his mother to heroin overdose, he's introduced to his family's criminal activities and testosterone-fueled lifestyle. »

Cardiac Rehabilitation - Topic Overview
What is cardiac rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) teaches you how to be more active and make lifestyle changes that can lead to a stronger heart and better health. Cardiac rehab can help you feel better and reduce your risk of future heart problems.
In cardiac rehab, you work with a team of health professionals. Often the team includes a doctor, a nurse specialist, a dietitian, an exercise therapist, and a physical therapist. The team designs a program just for you, based on your health and goals. Then they give you support to help you succeed.
Recommended Related to Heart Disease
Plant-Based Diet for Heart Health
A plant-based diet can be good for your heart. If you're eating mostly or only fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains, and meat substitutes like soy, you may cut your odds of getting heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, compared to a diet that includes a lot more meat. There are many different types of plant-based diets. The three most common ones are: Vegan : No animal products such as meat, eggs, or dairy products. ...
Read the Plant-Based Diet for Heart Health article > >
If you have a heart problem or had surgery, you may be afraid to exercise. Or if you have never exercised, you may not know how to get started. Your cardiac rehab team will help you start slowly and work up to a level that is good for your heart.
Many hospitals and rehab centers offer cardiac rehab programs. You may be part of a cardiac rehab group, but each person will follow his or her own plan.
Who should take part in cardiac rehab?
Doctors often prescribe cardiac rehab for people who have had a heart attack or bypass surgery. But people with many types of heart or blood vessel disease can benefit from cardiac rehab. Rehab might help you if you have:
- Heart failure.
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- Had or plan to have a heart transplant.
- Had angioplasty to open a coronary artery.
- Had another type of heart surgery, such as valve replacement.
Often people are not given the chance to try cardiac rehab. Or they may start a program but drop out. This is especially true of women and older adults. And that's not good news, because they can get the same benefits as younger people. If your doctor suggests cardiac rehab, stay with it so you can get the best results.
Medicare will pay for cardiac rehab for people with certain heart problems. Many insurance companies also provide coverage. Check with your insurance company or your hospital to see if you will be covered.

The owner of Advanced Massage Therapies was my anatomy teacher when I studied massage therapy. To say that her class was incredibly challenging is an understatement. Ellen KNOWS her anatomy and that is no simple feat! Because of this, your massage is always designed to help HEAL you and is a medical massage. Sure it can feel good, but more importantly, you are getting relief from what ails you. Ellen (the owner) has continued her education and is always taking new intensive training sessions. This has given her the ability to massage cancer patients, do lymphatic drainage and other modalities that many therapists have no idea what they are doing. If you want a knowlegeable massage therapist with years of experience and cutting-edge training, go the Advanced Massage Therapies and ask for Ellen! I wouldn't recommend anyone else like I recommend her. She truly elevates the profession of massage therapy and can help anyone you know whether they have fibromyalgia, cancer or healing from surgeries. See her now and thank me later:)

I have needed medical massage for many years. Of all the massage therapists I have used, Ellen Maroun of Advanced Massage Therapies is by far the best, and I have been seeing her regularly for several years. Not only is she the best educated but has many techniques for a given problem. She is friendly, easy to talk to and listens to my problems so she can devise a treatment plan. She has a lovely waiting area in which a client can come early or stay late to enjoy the ambiance. In addition to medical massage she also has the luxury spa techniques for a lovely relaxing treat. If you want a massage therapist, I highly recommend Ellen at Advanced Massage Therapies.
Ellen was not only my Anatomy Teacher in Massage Therapy School but she was also my Boss. If you never had a massage in the past Ellen from "Advance Massage Therapies" will be the first place I would recommend you to go! When you think about all the reasons why you want to get a massage Ellen is their to fulfill your request. From just a simple stress free relaxation massage , to a back pain or leg pain Ellen can help you with it! Roanoke, Va lost one of the best, But Carrollton ,Ga Gained one of the Best!!!

Oct. 26, 1929
Osage County
Oklahoma, USA
Feb. 13, 2004
Oklahoma, USA
Johnnie Mae Davis, a longtime clinical psychotherapist, administrator and community activist, died Friday. She was 74. A graveside service is set for 2 p.m. Saturday at Crown Hill Cemetery under the direction of New Dyer Funeral Chapel. Davis was born in Pawhuska to John B. Davis and Pearl V. Davis. She graduated from Tulsa's Booker T. Washington High School in 1946 and received a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology from Central State College in Wilberforce, Ohio, in 1950. When she earned a master's degree is psychology at the University of Oklahoma in 1951, she was the first black woman to earn that degree from the school. Davis also was the first black person to be elected to the OU Student Senate. She completed additional graduate work in psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and at the University of Chicago. Davis was the state's first black psychotherapist. She worked as chief psychologist at the Consolidated Negro Institutions in Taft from 1951 to 1957. In 1956, she was the topic of an attorney general's ruling that advised integration of tax-supported institutions. While attending a psychology conference in Oklahoma City, she had been refused service in a cafeteria in a state building. During the 1960s, she was deputy director of Tulsa Economic Opportunity Task Force Inc., executive director of the Youth Opportunity Service, and the mayor's youth coordinator. During the 1970s, Davis worked as a psychotherapist at the Tulsa Psychiatric Center and served on the board of directors of the Tulsa Urban League and YMCA. Davis joined the Student Services staff at Langston University in 1984 as head manager of Young Hall. In 1990, she began work as a chemical dependency counselor at the Professional Counseling Center, where she also was services coordinator. In addition to her counseling duties, Davis supervised practicum students in psychology, health-care administration and criminal justice. She also taught a class in personal and social development. When she retired from Langston in 1993, she left part of her legacy to the school with the creation of the "Ms. D.'s Micro-Loan Funds." Administered through the university's Development Foundation, the program makes small loans to students for personal and emergency needs. Davis was a member of the Zeta Sigma Pi and Pi Gamma Mu national social science honor societies and the Psi Chi psychology honor society. She was an associate of the American Psychological Association since 1955 and has held membership in the Illinois Psychological Association, the Oklahoma Psychological Association, the Tulsa Psychological Association and the Oklahoma Association on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. Davis was a past Protestant co-chairwoman of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, now the National Conference for Community and Justice. She also was chairwoman of the Community Coordinating Council, a coalition of civil rights groups. Davis was an Eastern Star member and a member of Christ Temple United Methodist Church. She is survived by three sons, John D. Gatewood I and Fred D. Gatewood, both of Tulsa, and Dr. Harry D. Gatewood II of Choctaw; a daughter, Marjorie Thornton Bostic of Oklahoma City; and nine grandchildren.

George Michael: 'I Have An Emotional Attachment to Prince William'
George Michael, who has recorded a cover version of Stevie Wonder's "You & I" as a wedding gift to the prince and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton, has always been fond of the young royal, who is the son of his late friend Princess Diana.
He says, "I have quite an emotional attachment to what's going on here because I felt so badly for those boys when she (Diana) passed away and, having experienced losing my mother about three or four months before that, that day was very very strange for me."
"The idea of going through that when you're barely into your teens; words can't describe how much admiration I have for the way they've both (William and his brother Prince Harry) coped with it."
And George Michael is convinced Diana will be smiling down on her son when he weds Middleton in London at the end of the month.: "I'm absolutely sure that Diana would have loved the whole thing."
George Michael hopes William shares his mother's love for the former Wham! star's music - and he believes his album "Older" helped the young prince cope with Diana's death.
Chatting to newsman Piers Morgan on his CNN show, he explains, "She was a big fan and she had a copy of Older, which was an album about bereavement, about four or five months before it went out... and she loved it."
"I did once see a documentary where William was playing that album, which makes me think that he found it comforting... I was very touched by that."

Next-gen Intel notebook chips to exceed 3.0GHzIntel this spring will launch its next-generation Centrino notebook platform alongside a half dozen new 45 nanometer mobile chips that will eventually make their way into Apple's MacBook and MacBook Pro offerings.
The platform, long referenced by its code-name "Montevina," will be officially dubbed Centrino 2 when it makes its debut at the Computex Taipei 2008 conference, which runs June 3 - 7, according to DigiTimes.
Although Intel has used the Centrino brand name for four generations of its notebook platforms — Carmel, Sonoma, Napa and Santa Rosa — the unchanging brand name has reportedly resulted in lower market recognition, as consumers are sometimes unable to identify the differences.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip maker hopes the new marketing strategy will "give consumers the feeling of a tangible upgrade and will hopefully spur replacement demand," according to the report.
It will simultaneously deliver six new 45-nanometer notebook processors, running at speeds between 2.26GHz - 3.06GHz, all of which will sport a 1066MHz front-side bus, compared to today's models which scale up to 2.6GHz and operate on an 800MHz bus.
In addition, DigiTimes reports that Intel will then launch seven new 45-nm small form factor processors, like those used in Apple's new MacBook Air, sometime during the third quarter of the year.
The introductions should provide Apple with a means to refresh its mainstream MacBook and MacBook Pro family of notebook systems sometime during the summer educational buying season, and its MacBook Air sub-notebook line in time for the holidays.
Meanwhile, MacBook Pro models including Intel's just-released 45-nanometer Penryn processors — the last of the Santa Rosa generation — remain on tap for a release anytime in the next few weeks.
On Topic: Future Hardware
- Apple still working on next-gen external display with integrated graphics card - report
- Apple shows interest in expanding True Tone color accuracy beyond the 9.7" iPad Pro
- MacOS Sierra code hints at MacBook Pro touch bar, Touch ID integration
- MacBook Pro with OLED touchbar visualized in new concept renderings
- New US guidelines on self-driving cars coming in July, NHTSA official says

Mala Making Workshopwith Purple Lotus (Moksha Yoga Maple)
A mala (the Sanskrit name for 'garland') is a set of beads traditionally worn and used for meditation. Malas are typically made of 108 beads (108 being a sacred number in many Eastern cultures) and serve to keep count of the wearers affirmations by focusing their awareness and staying mindful in the present moment.
Explore the therapeutic energy by creating and practicing your own mala during a 2.5 hour workshop. Inspired by tradition, you will be guided through making your own mala and how to use it to recite an affirmation or mantra. As you create, you will have the opportunity to infuse your mala with the power of your intention! A variety of materials including wood, seeds and or gemstones will be used.

Most Recent Riding Gear Reviews
See all reviews for this product Alpinestars Tech 3 All Terrain Boots McMaster52 - Lexington SC Good Boots "I have a size 14 foot and I usually get size 14 shoes and all but these boots I probably could have gone with a 13. It's not bad the extra room in the boots but they are so large some times it's hard to mover your foot around the pegs to shift. Also the most recent time I fell the side where the middle 2 buckels hook up poped out on one end and came undone, but was easily fixed with a screw driver. Other than that I think there great and are for a decent price."

Alpinestars - Legendary Innovation
Sante Mazzarolo founded Alpinestars in 1963 in Asolo, Italy first making hiking and ski boots. Two years later the company introduced its first motorcycle boot - it included an innovative steel shin protector and a buckle closure system rather than laces.
A decade later, Alpinestars marketed protective boots featuring toe sliders and enhanced levels of protection for the motorcycle road racing circuit giving the company a loyal following. In the 1990s, Alpinestars rolled out additional protective gear including gloves, jackets and full leather suits.
In 2011, Alpinestars unveiled perhaps the most innovative line of protection ever seen by the motorcycle world. Popular Science magazine gave the company a "Best of What's New" award for the Tech Air Race Suit. Available to the public, the Tech Air Race Suit is a state-of-the-art fully functional airbag system. The technology Alpinestars created monitors the rider's movements and determines when a crash is imminent and deploys airbags along the shoulders and collarbone in milliseconds.

MotoSport's line of Alpinestars dirt biike riding gear includes the popular Tech Boot Series as well as riding gloves and a great selection of bags among other accessories. Check them all out below:
