US comic Stephen Colbert apologises, says 'racist' tweet lacked context
Stephen Colbert apologies for furore but denies accusations of racism towards Asian Americans
In his first night on the air since a campaign to #CancelColbert erupted on Twitter, Stephen Colbert responded to charges of racial insensitivity to Asians.
The controversy began last Thursday when The Colbert Report's Twitter account quoted a joke from the March 26 episode of the show that mocked Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder for setting up a charity to aid native Americans in lieu of changing his team's name. Colbert said he was inspired by Snyder to start his own charity, called "The Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever."
Out of context, however, some Twitter users thought the joke was offensive to Asian Americans, and within hours #CancelColbert was a top trending subject on the website.
Colbert humorously referred to the controversy on his personal Twitter account, StephenAtHome but waited until Monday night to issue a full response.
Colbert explained that the joke originated in a segment about Snyder's charity that was rebroadcast multiple times last Thursday without incident. It was only when his show's promotional Twitter account repeated the joke, without a link to the segment or a mention of Snyder's charity that a backlash ensued.
"Who would have thought a means of communication limited to 140 characters would ever create misunderstandings?" Colbert said.
Although he acknowledged why the tweet was misunderstood, Colbert expressed little sympathy for his critics. "When I saw the tweet without context, I understood how people were offended the same way I as an Irish American was offended after reading only one line of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal: "Eat Irish babies," he said, referring to the essay in which the famed satirist urged impoverished Irish parents to sell their children to the wealthy as food.
Colbert urged his followers to stop harassing the hashtag activist Suey Park, who initiated the Twitter campaign against him and has since been subjected to criticism online.
And he reserved some of his most obvious displeasure for "the brain trust" at Comedy Central that decided to delete the original tweet once "the twit hit the fan" and, especially, for the news media.
The #CancelColbert controversy spawned a flurry of news stories in outlets including Time, The New Yorker and Salon, the last of which ran seven separate items on the controversy. Even CNN took a break from covering the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 "to report spotting what they thought was the wreckage of my show off the coast of Australia."
Worst of all for Colbert, he was attacked by "fellow conservative" Michelle Malkin, who taught him about sensitivity to the Asian-American experience with her book, In Defence of Internment, which defended the imprisonment of Japanese Americans during the second world war.
"To recap, a web editor I've never met posts a tweet in my name on an account I don't control, outrages a hashtag activist and the news media gets 72 hours of content," Colbert said. "The system worked."

Raptors guard Mike James, who will opt to become a free agent this summer, said yesterday that he would not necessarily demand a long-term contract when he and his agent begin to negotiate with teams at the end of the season.
James, who has been the constant target of speculation by the media as to whether he will return to the Raptors next year, said that a three-year deal, with a player option in the third year, may be the ideal contract for him, rather than a four, five or six-year deal, which is what most free agents request.
"That's probably the way I'll do it for the remainder of my career, signing three-year deals with a player option on the third for the simple fact that I'm not going to lock myself into nothing long-term because I believe I'm always going to get better," James said, following a team practice. "After those two years are up, I'll be 33 years old and I'll still let the NBAknow that I'm still a helluva a player and I can turn it over to another three-year deal And I don't plan on getting hurt."
In other words, James does not plan on becoming lazy or complacent after he signs a new deal, adding that he has a constant desire to prove himself because he is from a small college (Duquesne) and was not drafted by the NBA.
As for the Raptors, James said he hasn't had many discussions with GM Bryan Colangelo, nor has he heard any encouraging words from the new boss during the debate as to whether the Raptors should try to sign him to a long-term deal. James has often been criticized for shooting too often, too early in the shot clock. James said he understands that Colangelo is too busy formulating a plan for the off-season to come to his defence.
"I don't matter. I never really had nobody in my corner since I've been playing this game from the first time I dribbled the ball, until now," James said. "So why should I desire for somebody to be in my corner now?
"I've been fighting with my back to this wall this long in my life, so why stop throwing my hands now? I'm going to keep fighting in that corner."

We live less than a mile from our children's school, but the school actually has a policy against letting children from our side of the road walk to school, because they would have to cross a busy highway.

A great counter to driving kids to school would be parents walking with their kids to school. Not only would it probably be safer than a child walking alone, it would provide great opportunities for parents to spend time with their children.Chrishttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

All New Ouya Announced
Many have predicted that the Ouya, the $99 android microconsole, is in a lot of trouble and occupying a minuscule niche in the console market. However naysayers should be reminded that not only is the current version of the microconsole out and in the hands of players, but the Ouya 2.0 is currently in development. Now fans of the microconsole will be able to buy their friends and loved ones a special white version with double the memory of the standard Ouya. The white Ouya is coming out on December 19th and can be preordered from Ouya.tv and Amazon. Anyone who preorders before December 8th is guaranteed to get it before the holiday season.
The Ouya microconsole has been criticized a lot for the lack of the massive libraries of games that we've come to expect from video game consoles, like the PS3 and Xbox 360. However indie developers appear to enjoy working with both the team behind the Ouya and the hardware itself. The microconsole has made a name for itself by giving gamers access to a wide variety of titles (at last count over 500 games are available on the Ouya). Despite the console being no more powerful than your average smartphone or tablet, it has become a part of many gamers entertainment centers.
As an owner of the Ouya microconsole I would say that the best reason to get yourself the console is to get access to the indie titles on it. Many of these games are available on other platforms, however if your are a console gamer, then the Ouya is the best way to up your daily dose of indie titles. The price point is very low when compared with other current and next generation consoles. The final verdict – buy it if you ever have the $99 to spare.

Chris Matthews rips Texas Republican platform: 'How wide is this infection of hatred?'
MSNBC host Chris Matthews blasted Texas Republicans on Monday, saying their adopting an openly anti-LGBT platform at the state party convention last weekend showcased a side of the GOP that the party, on a national level, would prefer to keep hidden from the public.
"How wide is this infection of hatred?" Matthews asked guests Howard Fineman and Eugene Robinson. "They're going after gays now at this point in our history, when most Americans — including [Sen.] Bobby Casey (D) of Pennsylvania, very traditional people — are moving toward acceptance and, if not celebration, certainly true acceptance. I'm wondering, what's wrong with Texas?"
Robinson described the issue as being particular to the state party, pointing out that Texas has three of the biggest cities in the U.S.
"Cities tend to be more tolerant places, tolerant of all different kinds of people who live there," Robinson said. "Houston, in particular, which is the fourth-biggest city in the country, has a very large and active gay LGBT community."
Houston and San Antonio — the seventh-biggest city in the U.S. — have both expanded their local anti-discrimination laws to include the LGBT communities, much to the chagrin of some local religious leaders.
During the convention, which opened with a speaker portraying Davy Crockett calling for a war against "tyrannical dictator" President Barack Obama, the Texas GOP adopted a platform saying that homosexuality "tears at the fabric of society" and endorsed "reparative therapy," a widely-discredited practice that purports to turn gay people into heterosexuals.
"Is this what the Republican Party plans to run on in 2016?" Matthews asked. "Hate?"
But Fineman said that the group of 7,000 or 8,000 party members also included younger libertarians who opposed the use of such radical rhetoric in the platform.
"They were steamrolled in Texas," Fineman told Matthews. "They won't be quite as easily steamrollered elsewhere. But look at a person like George P. Bush, who's the grandson of [former President George] H.W. Bush. He is in favor, in the Bush family way, of expanding outreach to Hispanics, of looking for sophisticated ways of expanding the Republican party. He got steamrollered, too."
The party's efforts, Matthews, said, reminded him of the response to Pat Buchanan's remarks during the 1992 Republican convention in Houston, during which Buchanan accused "liberals and radical" Democrats of "cross-dressing" as moderates. Matthews described Buchanan's nationally-televised speech as the "death knell" for the Bush/Dan Quayle ticket that year.
"Here we have the Republican party, in 2014, going right back at it," Matthews said.
However, Matthews did not mention that Buchanan was an MSNBC contributor for a decade before being fired in 2012.
Watch the discussion, as aired on Monday on MSNBC, below.

The Harper government is devoting millions of dollars to commemorating the War of 1812, but a survey conducted for Ottawa shows Canadians know relatively little about the conflict.
The research also found that eagerness to learn more about the 200-year-old war declines outside Ontario, where a significant number of the battles took place.
"Respondents may be aware of the War of 1812, but their knowledge of key countries, historical figures and sites involved is limited," says a June, 2011, study prepared for the Department of Canadian Heritage.
"There is interest in learning more about certain aspects of the war, such as key facts, figures and sites, but this interest tends to be largely concentrated in Ontario," the report by TNS Canadian Facts says.
The war, which lasted until 1814, saw the inhabitants of what is now Canada turn back an American invasion and is considered a formative event in this country's history. Both the White House and early Parliament buildings in Upper Canada were put to the torch.
Only 14 per cent of those interviewed for the Department of Canadian Heritage were able to correctly identify the three countries involved. While Canada was not yet a sovereign nation at the time, the responses researchers were looking for were: Great Britain, the United States and Canada.
Twenty per cent of respondents incorrectly suggested France also participated in the conflict, and 14 per cent said they did not know, or refused to answer. Others erroneously suggested Japan or Russia or Spain played a part.
Nearly seven out of 10 respondents said they had heard of the War of 1812, but that rate dropped to six in 10 for those between 25 and 34 years of age.
A Harper government official, who spoke only on the condition he not be identified, said the goal of Ottawa's 1812 overture will be to show Canadians why the war mattered.
"The report proves that the war, while being a seminal event, may not be something that a lot of Canadians recognize or understand," the official said.
The survey was based on online interviews last March with 1,835 Canadians aged 17 years and older.
It cautions that enthusiasm for the subject is weaker among younger Canadians and those outside Ontario.
"Awareness, interest in, and knowledge of the war is largely regional and age-dependent. It is highest in Ontario and dissipates as one ventures further away, both west and east," the report says. "Interest … is much lower in Quebec, among francophones and younger Canadians."
The Conservatives are launching a major drive to commemorate the conflict in 2012 and beyond – in keeping with Prime Minister Stephen Harper's penchant for making heroism in Canada's military history a more important feature of the country's national identity.
The Tories even made an ambitious 1812 observance part of their winning 2011 election platform. The total budget has not been announced, although close to $12-million has been earmarked for grants and contributions to relive the conflict.
Three in ten Canadians surveyed strongly agreed that the war was an important chapter in the history of Canada, while another four in 10, or 38 per cent, somewhat agreed.
Close to 40 per cent of those who said they had heard of the war were nonetheless unable to identify a single historical figure, even when shown a list of possible players.
One-third of respondents picked both Laura Secord, a United Empire Loyalist who warned British forces of a U.S. attack, and Isaac Brock, a military hero killed in the conflict.
Only one of the 1,835 respondents correctly identified all six of the historical figures from a list.
Just under six of 10 of those who said they'd heard of the war were able to correctly identify at least one of the historical sites of the war when presented with a list of eight possibilities. Only eight of the 1,835 people surveyed were able to select all the right sites, such as Queenston Heights.

I also manage our docent program, which provides interpretation and direction for museum visitors. I help facilitate a Teacher Advisory Group that meets to help the MSUM offer better support to educators in the Greater Lansing area and beyond.
I also work with other team members to plan and produce special events throughout the year, which include both annual programs like Darwin Discovery Day, the Great Lakes Folklife Festival, and 4-H Days, and one-time programs serving the Michigan community, like a day celebrating the local Hmong community and their cultural traditions.
The other part of my job is with the collections department of the museum. There, I work on cataloging, offer tours of and lectures on the stored collections for MSU students, and create on-going public access for specific collections we hold, including the Great Lakes Quilt Center, the Benberry Quilt Collection, and our extensive collection of folk life artifacts.
My day-to-day work puts me in touch with History, Natural Sciences, Folk Arts, and other cultural collections, informing the public of what the MSUM has to offer and engaging with them through school outreach, special events, and more. This is never a boring place to work!

ALTOONA, Pa., Jan. 10 (UPI) -- A man accused of stealing hand sanitizer from a Pennsylvania hospital said he took the chemical to mix with orange juice and drink for the alcohol, police said.
Altoona police said Lee B. Ammerman, 51, allegedly took 12 containers of hand sanitizer from the UPMC Altoona hospital in a series of incidents beginning Oct. 21 and he allegedly admitted to the thefts when confronted by officers at the hospital Jan. 2, the Altoona Mirror reported Friday.
Ammerman was quoted in the arrest affidavit as saying he had taken "a large amount" of the $6.65 bottles of hand sanitizer from the hospital over the course of several months.
"I mix the liquid with orange juice," Ammerman allegedly told police in explaining he uses the sanitizer to get drunk.
Ammerman was issued a summons for misdemeanor theft and receiving stolen property. He is due to appear at Central Court Feb. 5 for a preliminary hearing.

Board of health told resources are available to aid those addicted to gambling
By MEGAN COOPER
Mt. Pleasant News
There are many opportunities for those in Henry County suffering from a gambling addiction.
Nicolas Foss, clinical supervisors for ADDS gambling treatment services in Burlington, shared his report with the Henry County Board of Health during its regular meeting Tuesday, stating that counseling is available for those in need.
The counseling services are funded through the Iowa Department of Public Health and Foss has a contract for 10 counties, which includes Henry County, and receives approximately $113,000 for treatment services. The services include crisis counseling, individual counseling and much more. Foss also provides education.
"I provide educational services for Henry County and do some classes at the Mental Health Institute here, at Wisdom Quest and even at the prison," said Foss. "I want to try and get into the high school more because the younger they start gambling, the more likely they will have a gambling addiction."
A person with a gambling addiction doesn't have to meet any specific requirements to come in for treatment, said Foss.
"Anyone can come in and see me, the evaluation is free," explained Foss. "There are nine criteria to follow to see if a person has a gambling addiction. If they meet four of the nine then they are set up for treatment, but the Iowa Department of Public Health actually provides funding for those who are at-risk. This means, those who have less than four can receive treatment as well, to prevent it from becoming an addiction."
According to Foss, his curriculum that he teaches is evidence-based and is called Stacked Deck. It was developed by researchers in Minnesota and is very effective at decreasing the myths of gambling and providing information about what gambling is.
"It raises awareness and decreases myths like, 'if I believe hard enough I will win,' and so on. It also teaches the history of gambling and what gambling really is," said Foss. "I want them to understand what it is. If they are going to gamble, they need to do it with a sense of responsibility just like drinking alcohol."
Foss states that there is a lot of dramatization of gambling in movies and television and he wants kids to understand that gambling isn't like that in the real world.
"I want to give them a healthy idea about gambling," said Foss. "It isn't like what happens in Casino Royale or 21, those movies aren't realistic. I want to reach those kids in the hotspot age, which is 18 to 24, before they attend college. I think it can be done."
Foss has completed 72 hours of education in Henry County so far this year and will be providing more as the year progresses, but doesn't have any clients in Henry County yet.
"Right now, there are no clients in Henry County," said Foss. "In 2013, I had ample amounts. I even had a women's group and people came from out of county to participate. I think that it stopped because people graduated from the program, which is a good thing. Once they finished treatment, they don't come back."
Foss says that admission into the gambling treatment services has dropped and he blames that lack of advertising.
"People don't know where to go or even that it still exists," said Foss. "There used to be billboard and television advertisements, but now it's all online. But just don't know about it and so they can't get the help they need. We want to make sure these people receive help so they can get their addiction under control."

Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that becoming the new Chelsea boss would "destroy" his career.
The former Premier League champions are on the hunt for a new head coach to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer following the dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas on Sunday.
Rodgers, who recently signed a new deal at the Liberty Stadium, used to be part of the Chelsea coaching staff.
"It's sad to see Andre depart," Rodgers told the South Wales Evening Post. "The transition that is needed at the club is very much evident, and it's a job that requires sensitivity about where the club is at.
"It's about understanding and respecting what the players have done there and also having that ruthless streak to manage the club. I feel Andre tried to do those things but, for whatever reason, it just hasn't worked out.
"For me the focus is on Swansea. I came here to do a job. If any of our fans are wondering about me and Chelsea, they need not panic. I am trying to build my career and not destroy it."
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho remains the favourite to make a sensational return to the Blues.

I have a beloved 1998 Plymouth Voyager minivan with only 83,000 miles. It has new tires and was recently serviced (new plugs, leaks plugged, tuneup, etc.) for about $2,000. Last month, I had a bizarre accident and crashed the rear of the car into a cement post. I gave the rear of the car a huge wedgie, broke the back window and badly damaged the left side of the car as well.
I want to sell the car to someone who needs the engine and the tires. I have no idea how to go about it. How do I find such a buyer?
TOM: I guess "bizarre accident" means you backed into a cement post while talking on the phone. Was this one of those accidents that end with the phrase "I'll have to call you back"?
RAY: A good engine for a '98 Chrysler minivan is probably worth $500 to $700 these days. And the tires are worth something, too.
TOM: The problem, as you well know, is finding a buyer who happens to need just these particular parts right now. That's traditionally been the job of the junkyard.
RAY: Of course, junkyard owners have to make a living, so they may give you $250 or $300 for the whole vehicle. Then they'll take it apart and sell the parts for much more, in total.
TOM: So my suggestion would be to try advertising it on one of the websites where people sell each other their junk, like Craigslist or eBay, for instance. Explain what you told us — that the engine is in good shape, with low mileage for its age, it just had $2,000 worth of repairs done, the tires are new and it was in a rear-end collision. Say you're looking for someone who wants it for the engine and parts, and see what happens.
RAY: You might find a nearby do-it-yourselfer who just drove his '98 Voyager into a cement pole frontward and is looking for exactly that engine.
TOM: Or you might hear crickets chirping. In which case, you can always take it to a junkyard and take whatever they'll give you for it. All you've lost is a little time.
RAY: And the humiliation of having to look at the car in the driveway for a few more weeks and be reminded that you backed into a pole.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Shanahan, Luongo POW
by Paul on 12/19/05 at 04:03 PM ET
Comments (0)
Detroit Red Wings forward Brendan Shanahan and Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo were named the NHL's offensive and defensive players of the week Monday. Shanahan collected two goals and seven assists while leading Detroit to a 2-1-1 mark, earning points in each contest. His best effort came last Tuesday, when he recorded a goal and four assists during a 7-6 loss to Atlanta. Teammate Pavel Datsyuk (four goals, four assists) and Panthers winger Nathan Horton (five goals, one assist) were the runners-up. Luongo claimed the defensive honours after leading the Panthers to a 3-1 mark record with a 2.25 goals-against average and .942 save percentage. He stopped 147 of 156 shots during the week, including an astonishing 53 saves in a 3-2 win Sunday over Washington. Martin Biron of the Buffalo Sabres (3-0-0, 2.98 GAA), Martin Gerber of the Carolina Hurricanes (3-0-0, 1.67 GAA) and Michael Garnett of the Atlanta Thrashers (3-0-0, 2.92 GAA) were runners-up.

Can't wait to go again!!!
LOVE it!!!!! I could sit in that darn lazy river all day. Sigh. I miss it. I've never been to Blizzard Beach though. My husband and son have several times. They like them both but prefer TL.
I just bought an annual pass today... we're going again!
I haven't been in about 6 years... and I live 45 mins away (in heavy traffic)
I'm not even sunburnt!!!
Blizzard Beach
If they serve blizzards, I'd be right there!
Me: FBS (no longer betrayed nor a spouse)-62
Him: WXH-62
D-day: 2007 (two years before finding SI)
It's theme is a freak blizzard hit a tropical area...
It's got things Typhoon Lagoon doesn't have... but I just don't enjoy it.
And they have the Gusher Crusher... a water roller coaster!!! Beyond awesome.
Funny story - DS and I were in line waiting for a double float to go on Gusher Crusher. The Doubles line was long... the Triples line was short. Behind us was a family of four from Mass. Me, being me, says to them... If we can borrow one of yours we could all go faster in the triples line!
They agreed... we went down twice with them that way!
You meet the nicest people at Disney!!!

Rumors keep cropping up that the next-generation iPad will be thinner, lighter, and narrower, with styling similar to the iPad mini. And yesterday this rumor got more juice thanks to the appearance of iPad 5 cases on the Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba. You can see a collection of images of the cases on AppleInsider. The size of the cases do indeed suggest a mini-like iPad 5. The question is whether the case manufacturer has access to inside information regarding the specs of the forthcoming iPad, or if they're preparing cases based on the rumors themselves. The latter has been known to happen, such as when some case manufacturers made cases for a larger iPhone in advance of the release of the iPhone 4S. But it also frequently happens that Chinese suppliers of iPhone and iPad components leak details to the case manufacturers.
My bet is that the rumors are right, and that the fifth-generation iPad will use new a display technology that will allow for the more diminutive size. Apple has to do at least this to stay competitive, because tablets of all sizes and shapes continue to pour into the market. Lightness and thinness could be an important distinguishing feature. Apple has the cash and the supply chain to do things that few other companies can afford, and a svelte size is one of them. So I think it'll happen.
But in my mind, this development diminishes the likelihood of an earlier rumor of a forthcoming thicker iPad mini with retina display. Again, that rumor was based on early cases for the device. I just don't see that happening. I think Apple's thicker third- and fourth-generation retina iPad models were an anomaly in order to get higher resolution and the general trend will be thin and light.

The market is moving fast, and many companies are announcing new tablets at the Mobile World Congress this week. These include the Asus FonePad, a 7-inch tablet with a phone, and the HP Slate 7, which includes front and rear cameras for only $169. You can get an overview of a dozen of these new tablets on CNET. Apple has to keep innovating to keep up.

Process safety: Managing process safety with flexible IO
Industrial facilities should approach safety and security holistically by addressing critical requirements from the process control network to the perimeter of the plant.
Industrial organizations are paying closer attention to safety applications for a variety of reasons, including strict industry regulations and widespread reports of safety incidents around the world. Plants need robust safety applications, which encompass all instrumentation and controls responsible for bringing a process to a safe state in the event of an unacceptable process deviation or failure.
To manage process safety challenges—including the role of defense-in-depth strategies for protecting critical plant assets—plant personnel must understand the application of current technologies in the marketplace, as well as new technologies for optimizing overall safety performance and reducing capital and operating costs throughout the project lifecycle.
Operational demands
Industrial facilities are under growing pressure to better manage their process and safety assets. Complying with legislation to safeguard personnel, communities, and the environment is a priority for both legal and ethical reasons. Effective safety applications are needed to enable proactive protection (versus responsive mitigation), help stop events before they happen, prevent injuries, and save lives.
Plant projects around the world are becoming larger and more complex. Greenfield construction often involves multiple engineering procurement contractors, while brownfield projects must be completed with minimal downtime. Operations of all types seek on-time or early start-up, as well as earlier-than-planned production to accelerate returns.
In the process industries, operations such as oil and gas platforms, liquefied natural gas carriers, and floating production, storage, and offloading units typically face space, weight, and power constraints for automation equipment such as I/O devices. In addition, these operations must ensure a sufficient number of spares for the lifecycle of the installed asset.
At greenfield sites, building adequate control room infrastructure is a high priority. This makes moving control and safety functionality to the field—as well as necessary hardware—a desirable alternative to traditional approaches. At the same time, users must cope with burdens such as time-consuming hardware configuration and programming, late design changes, frequent maintenance, and the need to reduce copper wiring connecting sensors, transmitters, and other devices with the control room.
Brownfield facilities also deal with issues related to spares availability, not to mention the need to install additional homerun cables as part of any expansion project.
Today, there is now a clear paradigm shift in the process industries from safety system cost to total cost of ownership. Current system architectures can be either centralized, distributed, or a combination of both. Each approach has its advantages and challenges.
Many operations continue to employ outdated safety solutions implemented in PLCs, control systems, or other legacy platforms. Due to the continuous improvement aspects of ISA-84: Standards for Use in Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals and IEC-61511: Functional safety: Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector, plants are finding it necessary to replace these systems with a modern safety instrumented system (SIS). The need to execute safety instrumented functions that weren't previously implemented or identified is also driving the implementation of SIS technology.
Implementing layers of protection
Ensuring the safety and security of personnel, equipment, and the environment is a priority for every industrial facility. This effort goes far beyond simply installing fail-safe controllers or an advanced SIS solution. In fact, to mitigate the risk of serious incidents, it is important to consider safety and security from all aspects of a plant's operation.
Industrial facilities should take a holistic approach to industrial safety and security, addressing critical requirements from the process control network to the perimeter of the plant. This approach is intended to increase situational awareness of production processes and improve response to emergency situations arising from safety- or security-related incidents. When properly implemented, this approach helps protect people, assets, and the environment while sustaining a high level of operational and business performance.
At the core of best practices for integrated safety and security is defense-in-depth with independent layers of protection (see Figure 1). This strategy is included in the IEC 61511 standard, which stipulates that every layer of protection—including both control and safety systems—should be unambiguously independent. Some of the reasons for this basic requirement are to avoid common-cause faults, minimize systematic errors, and provide security against unintentional access.
With a layered solution, some layers of protection are preventive in nature (e.g., emergency shutdown), and some are there to mitigate the impact of an incident if it occurs (e.g., fire and gas protective systems or emergency response systems). Other layers of protection can deter incidents in the first place, or provide detection, alerting, and associated guidance.
Maintaining segregated systems
One of the major achievements of process control technology in recent years has been its integration of an increasing number of safety functions within the plant automation environment. The move toward sharing critical information with the process control system through an SIS has brought significant benefits.
Industrial organizations are seeking a unified control and safety infrastructure integrated at the controller and HMI level. This solution must comply with key industrial safety regulations as well as applicable cyber security standards. It must also meet industry requirements for high reliability and availability, simplify field device maintenance, and adapt easily to last-minute project engineering changes.
Experience has shown the most robust and reliable approach to control and safety integration maintains the well-established separation principle for the basic process control system and SIS. In this way, users can achieve complete operational integration through a single dashboard, using a fully separated safety network for greater protection.
Empowering plant personnel
Plant safety requires a comprehensive program for managing operator effectiveness, constant monitoring of distress indicators, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance for asset health. This integrated approach demands not only an understanding of safety's relationship to human error, but also the interrelationships among root causes and interventions by plant systems and site personnel.
The layer of protection often missed in the plant safety architecture is the one requiring human intervention. It is essential to equip the operations group with technology and work practices to manage abnormal situations or the eventuality of an incident. In addition, as an experienced workforce transitions and domain knowledge is potentially lost, it becomes increasingly important to transform that knowledge into institutional procedures and practices. The operator should be properly equipped to recognize an event, as well as be capable of properly evaluating the situation and responding accordingly.
Operator effectiveness afforded by common and consistent HMIs across the entire operation, knowledge capture through automation of procedural operations, and an advanced alarming capability allow people to better prevent and respond to abnormal situations.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

This transition in IT's role was fueled by a number of converging storm fronts: a worldwide recession, an increasingly geography-diverse and mobile workforce, and a rise in customers opting for more virtual contact than physical face-time. Companies that operating mainly from a brick and mortar presence quickly saw it turn into a tomb while Web-based companies found themselves capsizing, bereft of actionable data in a surging sea-change.
It was and is IT that saves the day but it does so by changing its stripes while on the run.
True transformation occurs within both the IT organization and the business' core systems. Resistance is futile since resistance in this economic climate leads to financial ruin. Oddly, it is the business side that endorses the mantra "transform or die."
"The pushback was always greatest from IT and not the business," said Stuart Zimmerman, principal of CCZ Consulting. While IT knows enough to see change as a threat to their jobs and their relationships within the organization, business users usually see changes as "refreshing opportunities to improve their jobs."
It is a bizarre twist that the threat really works in reverse: "IT roles will change but not necessarily go away while jobs for users are often more susceptible to being automated away," said Zimmerman.
The transformational CIO must recognize this irony and convert it into energy that can carry the company forward. Partly, that's a matter of reassuring IT folks that they won't work themselves out of a job (although such assurance may not be possible in the current economic climate). It is truthful, however, to inform IT staff that hiring and retention programs are on the upswing and both new jobs and promotions in old jobs swing on the success of completed projects.
It is no exaggeration to say that no one is hiring or promoting IT people without a recent list of successfully completed projects. That said, the transformational CIO must inspire and motivate on the one hand and shove with the other. "The key to IT transformation is to start with senior level company or divisional management and know just how far you can push," said Zimmerman.
If this approach sounds familiar, that's because "transformational leadership" has been around for decades. A 2004 analysis by Timothy Judge and Ronald Piccolo at the University of Florida and published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that transformational leadership is nothing new. It tracks back to a similar style promoted in 1921. So, no, it isn't that the leadership style is new, what's new is CIOs have to do it ... not just CEOs.
For example, in healthcare the CIO "needs to be a leader, innovator and strategic thinker," said Mike Tucker, general manager PBM Products & Technology-Payer Solutions at IMS Health. This used to be just the CEO's job description.
He says the scale of healthcare reform is incredibly broad and the CIO needs to be constantly learning about regulatory and industry trends; looking for opportunities to advance critical areas of change. "In the past, the healthcare CIO has been a cost and project manager. The new healthcare CIO needs to be a thought leader as well as an operations expert."
These days, CIOs are not encouraged to be transformational leaders, they are expected to be. Further, transformation is expected to be delivered immediately and on-demand.
The transformational CIO has read the writing on the wall (in this case, outsourcing docs). He knows that IT jobs have fled overseas and he knows that his team knows this, as well. Therefore, the motivation to put the business' welfare over that of the IT department's is mostly absent. Yet, the CIO cannot muster change unless he can first rally his troops. The best way to do that is to eradicate the fear first.
While few CIOs can unequivocally promise no layoffs, nearly all CIOs can ease uncertainty by clearly presenting the team's actual circumstances and offering a means to successfully compete. Spell out to your teams that IT is increasingly being viewed as any other service provider to the business. This means they have to deliver end-user services (email, telecom etc.), business services (applications) and infrastructure (compute, storage, etc.) all the while being "price, quality and value comparable to external service providers" said Sunny Gupta, co-founder, president and CEO of Apptio.
The transformative CIO will have to manage their IT portfolio from a services perspective and measure on-going cost, value and quality of service. "Detailed, actionable metrics such as direct/indirect and fixed/variable will be favored over basic IT-specific measurements like utilization and performance. Only then will the CIO be able to bridge the chasm that currently exists between IT and their business partners."
Once that chasm is bridged, the IT team and its CIO become invaluable to the business, not because of their technical knowledge, which can easily be replaced by outsourcers, but by their ability to form and hone the business' competitive edge. This becomes the IT team's formidable differentiator. The message to the IT team then is, "This is how you compete and win!"
According to Bonnie McEwan, visiting lecturer in Management and Leadership, Milano The New School for Management and Policy in New York City, there are three key things a leader must focus on if they aspire to be truly transformational:
1. Always remember that the transformation is two-way : You will be changed along with your followers. Transformation is a process and its power lies in the exchange (and the changes) that take place between people.
2. Great leaders are also great followers : Transformational leaders know when to step back and let another take the lead. It is especially useful to embrace your follower role when you are seeking to develop the leadership abilities of others. Since leaders are at or near the top of the organizational hierarchy, it can be difficult to see what's really happening on the ground, where the work of your organization takes place. Followers often see realities that leaders miss, so it's important to allow your best followers to take the lead sometimes, and even encourage them to mentor you.
3. Be very clear about the transformation you seek: Know what it looks like, and describe it for your followers. This is more than just your vision. It's a shared view of a transformed reality that you all strive for together. Talk about the transformed reality every day, as that's what inspires people to move forward. Model that new reality in everything you say and do; make it tangible for your followers.
Indeed, bringing about transformation is a hands-on job. "The leader can't be a faceless name behind emails but must interact with the team frequently and with the members of the organization IT is serving," said Mike Honeycutt who has worked in IT for the University of North Carolina at Asheville for 28 years.
Yes, the transformational CIO must have a strong vision and be able to communicate it effectively to the team but that is the starting point not the end-point. The CIO must possess an equal mix of charisma, business acumen, people skills, motivational ability, conviction, and courage. His commitment to the organization and the team must be unwavering and his knowledge of things outside IT forever growing.
"It may be hard for some technology leaders to keep a business focus, but descending into the morass of IT minutiae severely limits the CIO's sphere of influence," said Jeffrey Breen, CEO of Cambridge Aviation Research and formerly CTO of the Yankee Group.
A prolific and versatile writer, Pam Baker's published credits include numerous articles in leading publications including, but not limited to: Institutional Investor magazine, CIO.com, NetworkWorld, ComputerWorld, IT World, Linux World, Internet News, E-Commerce Times, LinuxInsider, CIO Today Magazine, NPTech News (nonprofits), MedTech Journal, I Six Sigma magazine, Computer Sweden, NY Times, and Knight-Ridder/McClatchy newspapers. She has also authored several analytical studies on technology and eight books. Baker also wrote and produced an award-winning documentary on paper-making. She is a member of the National Press Club (NPC), Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), and the Internet Press Guild (IPG).

Infusion Test!
YES!!! I'm a little behind…somehow these ESGreen samples dropped to the bottom of my YET-TO-BE-SAMPLED Box. Oops!
So…I'm trying to make-good on that today!
Here's the first infusion on this one…
Smells like a woodsy, smoky, slightly fishy pu-erh once infused. It has a nice medium brown/orange color to it.
It has a softer earthiness to it – more of a dirt than a leaves or wood, really, but still it's softer and more pleasant. It has a wheat-like flavor working side-by-side with it, too. There is a bit of maltiness that I'm diggin' too! I'm liking this one more than I anticipated!
2nd infusion notes coming soon…

Premiere: Raz Fresco "Murderous"
Raz Fresco drops a brand new music video to build the anticipation for his upcoming mixtape Pablo/Frescobar.
Toronto emcee Raz Fresco builds the anticipation for his upcoming mixtape Pablo/Frescobar with new music video "Murderous."
The shoot was spur of the moment for Raz. "One day I was just chilling and I was like, 'Fuck it, I feel like shooting a video.'" With no deep concept in mind, Fresco decided to keep it raw and unfiltered. "I'm just spitting murderous shit, in the cut, with my homies, burnin piff," he said.
As he travels through his neighborhood of Brampton and later through Downtown Toronto, Raz flexes showcases his lyrical skill:
"I plan songs like bank heists / My dank nice, like it got manners / never flex for cameras / 'lo bandana bandito, 'cus my mind steeple / elevated, heavily melanated"
While some in the States may be unfamiliar with the young rapper, he's generated quite a buzz north of the border, and is letting people know he'll be the next Toronto-native making major moves in hip hop.
Watch the premiere of "Murderous" above, and be on the look out for Pablo/Frescobar dropping later this fall.

Although Laine Lee Sr., 107-years-old, has resided in the city of Los Angeles for over 50 years and is reported to be the oldest African American male to reach beyond 100 years old, he's still living life like its golden.
Last year, Lee gained recognition from many prominent politicians like Councilman Bernard Parks and Supervisor Yvonne Burke who paid homage to Lee forliving beyond the standard years for people of color. As a matter of fact, at 100-years-old, he received a letter of recognition from the President of United States George W. Bush. On Saturday, June 21, friends and family will honor Lee at the Saint Anselms Catholic Church located at 700 Arlington Street in Los Angeles.
Currently, Lee attends the Morningside Adult Day Care Center for four days throughout the week. There, he plays bingo and interacts with his peers. Every Friday, his school throws a birthday celebration with live entertainment for those who have been blessed to see life everyday.
Born in a log cabin in Grove, Texas on June 25, 1901 and two generations removed from slavery, this individual has demonstrated life long commitments to his family and job as a Continental Trailways worker.
At 17-years old, Lee inherited the responsibility to raise his six brothers after his parents died, but that did not interfere with his life. Soon, he formed a gospel duet with his late brother Clarence Lee where they traveled to different cities and venues singing gospel songs like " Hold On to God's Unchanging Hand," "Wade in the Water," "When the Saints Go Marching In," "Precious Lord," "Amazing Grace," and "When I Come to the End of My Journey."
He relocated to Los Angeles in 1956 to join his oldest living daughter, Sarah Houston who became married and had children. There he worked for the Continental Trailways Bus 6 for 44 years before retiring in 1977.
According to Houston, Lee was known as the entertainer.
"He was very content on entertaining himself with all kinds of little gadgets that kept him focused Houston said. "He has seen many people come and go and has lived to see history drastically change."

Heigl: I'd like to adopt again
Katherine Heigl has revealed she would like to adopt another child.
The Knocked Up actress and musician husband Josh Kelley adopted three-year-old daughter Naleigh in 2009 and Katherine - who has an adopted sister - told Scholastic Parent & Child magazine that they would like to do it again.
She said: "Josh and I started talking about it before we were even engaged. My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born. I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea. We have talked about having biological children as well, but we decided to adopt first. I just wanted to be a mom. So however we do that, it's fine with me. I'd like to adopt again."
The 33-year-old actress, who recently penned a blog about balancing a Hollywood career with being a mum on the iVillage website, said she knew adoption was the right path for her.
"Anyone who doesn't have experience with adoption wonders, does love for a child come through DNA? I knew it didn't. My mother had biological children and an adopted child and said it made absolutely no difference. They're yours. You love them the moment they're put into your arms," she said. "Josh had to learn that, but he was so gracious and accepting."

Maysin William is a boy due in Feb. She doesn't care about the 'may sin' possibility. The y is a must, because she has a y replacing a 'normal' letter in her name (Kristyn). The i makes it different, which she likes. And, yes, being a berry I told her that just because she messed with the spelling so much the name was still Mason. And that the y when there usually isn't one there made it different. She didn't think that was different enough. So the o changed to an i! I love my friend, but *shudder*!!

Dark Horse Picks: Movies
Sort by: Showing 40 items
Decade: Rating: List Type:
The Salton Sea (2002)
The best way I can describe this movie (without revealing the plot) is to say that this is a story about a man who has become two people. He has his memories of the man he was, and the man he has become. A very good performance by Val Kilmer.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Entropy (1999)
Entropy has an interesting set of characters, and a different kind of story than the usual categorical movies that come out every year. You might enjoy it.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Quiet Earth (1985)
The Quiet Earth seems to go beyond (or perhaps not as far as) Science Fiction. I have a feeling this movie doesn't leave a lot of middle ground on whether you'll like it or not. Give it a try, and see if you've seen anything like it before.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Confession (1937)
Confession is an interesting movie starring Kay Francis as a former opera singer accused of murder. The majority of the story takes place in the past, as Vera (Kay Francis) tells a tragic story of her life. You should try this movie out, it may be to your liking.
Joseph Grey's rating:
What Dreams May Come (1998)
A very emotional movie that deals with the bonds that carry beyond life and death. You'd be hard pressed to find another movie like this.
Joseph Grey's rating:
A Scanner Darkly (2006)
Richard Linklater directed this Philip K. Dick story. It features what is probably Keanu Reeves' best performance in a movie. I know he's not the best actor around, but don't let that deter you from giving this movie a honest watch.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Dawn Patrol (1930)
A Howard Hawks movie about WWI flyers. Excellently acted, and visually satisfying, this movie is sometimes overlooked because of the 1938 sequel of the same name, starring Errol Flynn. This is my favorite of the two movies, and you should really give this one a watch first, before you see the 1938 version.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Long Riders (1980)
The story of The James and Younger gang, with the Keach brothers (James and Stacey) as the James brothers, the Carradine brothers (David, Keith, and Robert) as the Younger brothers, and Randy and Dennis Quad as the Miller brothers.
This is a rare western that doesn't bother to deal with good and evil, right and wrong, but merely tells a story about the three families during post civil war America.

Joseph Grey's rating:
The Crowd Roars (1932)
Early James Cagney, and he's not playing a criminal. James Cagney plays a race car driver, who is shadowed by his younger brother, who begins to compete with him for success and fame.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Champions (1984)
Champions is a movie about a jockey who suddenly has to face a life threatening illness. John Hurt really does a good job in this movie, you should check it out.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Altered States (1980)
This movie starring William Hurt is pretty strange. It's difficult to tell exactly what's going on during certain parts of the film. However, if you want something different, this is it. You might like this one, as it falls neither in horror, suspense, or science fiction. It's a little of all.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Invaders from Mars (1986)
This remake of the 1953 "Invaders From Mars" has similar appeal to that of the 80's remake of "The Blob." Although far from a great movie, there are very interesting creatures, good effects, and some decent suspense as well.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Waking Life (2001)
Waking Life is perhaps more an exercise in artistic expression than anything else. Set around a series of conversations, and having no clear central plot, this may not be your cup of tea. However, just in case it is, you should give it a watch.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Nightmare Alley (1947)
A very different kind of movie starring Tyrone Power. The movie follows Stanton Carlisle through his changing beliefs, morals, and romances. I can't tell you more without giving the story away. I suggest you watch it, and see what you think about it.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Enemy Mine (1985)
This movie stands out from many other 80's sci-fi movies, because of the time taken with character development. A story of two enemies forced to work together, this is definitely a recommended watch.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Thunderheart (1992)
Another good performance from Val Kilmer. Also, good performances by Sam Shepard and Graham Greene. The story centers around a federal investigation of a murder on a Native American reservation.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Prophecy (1995)
The Prophecy stars Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz, Elias Koteas, and Virginia Madsen. Good performances by the cast, and a decent treatment of religious and supernatural themes. Don't expect some mind-blowing treatise on God, death, and the universe. This movie, for the most part, is an action movie.
Joseph Grey's rating:
First Snow (2006)
A decent movie with a slow pace, starring Guy Pearce. Pearce plays a salesman who slowly becomes obsessed with a fortune, told to him by a fortune teller. Well acted, and definitely worth a watch. Be warned, this is not a thriller or an action movie. It's a reflective kind of movie.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Moon (2009)
A movie I had heard nothing about. I sat down and watched this one with no expectations. I was really impressed with Sam Rockwell's performance, and the overall feel of the movie. This one is very well done, and I recommend you watch it.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Miracle Mile (1988)
This movie really isn't like other movies. For that reason alone you should watch it. Anthony Edwards heads up an ensemble cast of characters. I think telling you about the movie wouldn't help you to understand it. You must watch first, and ask questions later.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Hawks (1988)
This may be the darkest horse of them all. 100-1 you even heard of this movie, let alone have seen it. I stumbled into watching this movie on accident. They story centers around two sick men that meet in a hospital. Things get more interesting as the story develops. Another Anthony Edwards picture ('88 was a good but weird year for Edwards) this movie also stars Timothy Dalton.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Screamers (1995)
To me, Screamers traveled beyond a simple 'kill bad robots' storyline, and explored a grim future of forgotten soldiers on a distant planet. Worth a watch if you're a sci-fi fan, and looking for something a little different.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Arrival (1996)
This never talked about movie has some decent action, and a non-typical role for Charlie Sheen. Having to do with aliens and UFO's, you might enjoy this film.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)
This movie is a full serving of madness with a side of crazy. I really liked it though, and Bill Pullman is in the right role for sure as he navigates through a minefield of magic and dark rituals.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Twelve (2010)
Although not a technically good movie, you may want to give this one a watch. It has an ensemble cast with multiple storylines, and an interesting narration throughout the movie that adds a unique touch. Don't expect too much in the way of content, but pay attention to the style of movie-making.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Spin (2007)
The description for this movie is somewhat similar to the item above. However, this movie is about one night told from the perspective of multiple people. Once again, there isn't a lot content wise, but the movie does have style, and there are some entertaining sections to it. Don't expect too much, and you may get something out of it.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Fandango (1985)
This Kevin Reynolds movie stars Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson, and Sam Robards. It's a story about a group of young men who have recently graduated college, trying to have one last meaningful experience together before they descend into the world of adulthood.
This is one of those movies you wish you could be in.
This is one of those movies you wish you could be in.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Lifepod (1993)
It wouldn't surprise me if you never heard of this one. It was a TV movie that to my knowledge aired only once. Back in the 90's, even TV movies can turn out better than you expected. This was one of those movies, starring no one famous. It was a nice suspenseful story, reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's "Lifeboat."
Joseph Grey's rating:
Local Hero (1983)
Local Hero is one of those movies you just don't get to hear about. It doesn't fit into the neat little categories that Hollywood likes to aim it's features toward. An interesting story about a young man sent to a remote village to seal a business deal, and an old man trying to reclaim his life. Worth a watch, if you like movies that are a little different, that aren't afraid to take time to tell a story.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Hidden (1987)
The Hidden has some really good human versus alien shootouts, car chases, and strangeness in the guise of Kyle MacLachlan. Not a great movie, but a fun movie. Give it a watch, you won't be bored.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Your Friends & Neighbors (1998)
If you want a different kind of relationship story, this might be what you're looking for. One of the things that I liked about this movie was how painfully real it felt at certain times. A couple of characters are eerily similar to some of the people I used to hang out with.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Krull (1983)
It seemed like every other movie that came out in the 1980's was a fantasy movie. Some of these were quickly thrown together and made poorly. However, Krull is a pretty good effort, and worth watching if you haven't seen it. It definitely has a decent budget, and every spare cent was thrown into effects, which were done pretty well. Krull has a Cyclops, shape shifters, monsters, and a very serious looking throwing star. It also has some pretty well known actors in Alan Armstrong, Francesca Annis, Freddie Jones, Robbie Coltrane, and Liam Neeson.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Robot Jox (1989)
Looking for long walks on shining green grass and romantic kisses? This is not that movie. Looking for human operated robots dueling for your entertainment? This is where it's at. Don't expect masterful dialogue and complex romantic nuance. This movie is robots - people in robots - fighting - credits. It's so straightforward I say give it a try.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Suspect Zero (2004)
The movie revolves around murder investigations of grisly scenes of crime. Two investigators are looking into the work of a possible serial killer. I could tell you more, but I don't want to give up the plot. It's pretty different. It's not a straight mystery, not a horror movie, it doesn't have a solid category. Often those are the movies that end up being the most interesting.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Making Mr. Right (1987)
A different kind of sci-fi and romance story. It definitely feels like an 80's movie, but there are no 25 year old men and women pretending to be high school students. John Malkovich plays two roles in the movie, and does both very well.
I'm not going to lie to you though. There are absolutely no guarantees that you will like the movie. That's the thing about movies. So much about the reception of a movie has to do with the personality of the person watching it. So, watch it and see what you think.

Joseph Grey's rating:
Fort Apache, the Bronx (1981)
A movie starring Paul Newman kicking ass as a cop, and gunning down drug dealers. There's a lot more to it than that, but if you want to know more, give the movie a watch. Paul Newman is not playing a shining hero in this film. It has a cynical and gritty feel to it.
Joseph Grey's rating:
The Mackintosh Man (1973)
Yes, another interesting Paul Newman movie. Don't be fooled by the image cover. This movie is not about kissing. It has some long quiet scenes broken up by violent action. There is an element of espionage in the plot, but rather than explain it to you, just watch the movie and see what you think. Paul Newman plays a sort of anti-hero, which he does rather well.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Three O'Clock High (1987)
This is an 90's high school movie that follows the events leading up to an impending fight between a shy student and a criminally inclined new student. With a premise like that, you'd think the movie would be taking the slow train to suckville, but it's actually very expressive and creative. Casey Siemaszko is excellent as the hapless student Jerry, and Richard Tyson does a great job as the simian like Buddy Revell.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Prince of Darkness (1987)
Something about the movie Prince of Darkness seems to affect me. Yes it's campy at times. Yes, there are a couple of moments that are more funny than scary. But Prince of Darkness has a few scary moments, and it was one of the only horror movies that I have watched as an adult that really bothered me and made me kind of freaked out after seeing it. Was it the melty faces? Was it the green juice? Actually, I think it was the low-res video dreams.
Joseph Grey's rating:
Ghost Story (1981)
Ghost Story is not really a horror movie, but it's definitely a ghost story. It has Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Patricia Neal. Those are some of the best actors of their time, and they still have it even in the 80's.
What makes this movie different is the lack of cliched horror elements. There's minimal screaming, no running through hallways, but the movie has an atmosphere, and it never lets you down. If you haven't watched it before, just send an order to netflix or however you most like to rent movies. Don't look it up, forget about the ratings, just give it a shot with no distractions.

This is a list of movies that you may have missed, or chosen not to see because of ratings. Although none are masterpieces, each of these movies have something to offer, and I recommend you give them a chance.
I will add more, as more come to mind.

I haven't seen every film on this list, but I have enjoyed the ones that I've seen, so I approve of this list. I think you're not giving "The Hidden" enough credit, though.
That picture is one of my favourites that I saw last year and I think it's much more than just a fun romp with chases and shooting. There's some real substance and emotional depth to it, even with all the humour and action.
I just saw "Confession" and I'm blown away. Such a beautifully tragic picture, with the best performance I've ever seen from Kay Francis. I wish it was better known and more successful.

I gave The Hidden plenty of credit. 8 out of 10 (or 4 out of 5 stars) is more than most movies get.

We already know that defense is the foundation of Tom Thibodeau's Bulls.
We also know the team is missing its best offensive player in Derrick Rose.
But the offense through the first three preseason games has been worse than we could have imagined.
Game 1 against the Grizzlies:
The Bulls barely broke 90 points while shooting 35.7 percent from the field (including 2-for-14 on threes) and committing 18 turnovers. They also missed nine free throws.
Game 2 against the Cavaliers:
In an even worse offensive showing, the Bulls managed only 83 points on 34.9 percent from the field (including a dreadful 1-for-19 on threes) with 22 turnovers (compared to only 17 assists). This brickfest was highlighted by a 10-point second quarter.
Game 3 versus the Timberwolves:
Things went from worse to worst, with the Bulls scoring a meager 75 points while hitting only 36.8 percent of their field goals, going 3-for-13 from long distance, and bricking 13 of their 35 free throw attempts. They also set a new preseason high with 23 turnovers…to only 10 assists. Luol Deng and Rip Hamilton sat this one out due to "general soreness," but still.
Except for a couple decent stretches — the third quarters against the Griz and Cavs specifically — these games were hard to watch. Painful even. And, with all due respect, it wasn't as if the Bulls were facing off against defensive powerhouses. Last season, the Cavaliers and Timberwolves were ranked 26th and 25th, respectively, in Defensive Rating.
The new bench crew has been one of the primary reasons for these poor offensive showings. Against the Grizzlies, they went 12-for-46, which looks even sadder when you subtract Nazr Mohammed's 6-for-10 performance. Then, against the Cavs, they shot 12-for-45. In Minnesota, they were 8-for-29.
Over those three games, Nate Robinson is 7-for-30. Designated "shooter" Marco Belinelli hasn't connected on a single three-point attempt (0-for-6) and is 6-for-20 overall. Bench Mob stalwart Taj Gibson is also 6-for-20. I could go on, but trust me, there aren't any offensive highlights coming from the reserves.
It isnt only the subs, though. Carlos Boozer has yet to shoot 50 percent (3-for-10, 5-for-11, 2-for-7). Kirk Hinrich has played reasonably well, but he's still 11-for-27 from the field overall and 3-for-11 on three-pointers.
The Bulls D has still been stout — they've allowed only 88, 86, and 82 points — but this shooting isn't getting it done. And it will get them blown out against better competition.
While it's true that the Bulls aren't hitting open shots, it's also true that they aren't getting many open shots. One of the primary reasons being: they don't currently have a player who can break down opposing defenses and consistently draw double teams. Movement and crisp passing can create good looks — when you're not turning the ball over, which the Bulls have been doing a lot of so far, averaging 22 miscues per game in the preseason — but even that can be difficult when defenders can stay home and lock in on their target.
Maybe Thibodeau has some answers. Maybe it's as simple as the players just getting some of those shots to go down. But in the early going, Chicago is facing a shooting apocalypse.
