Take This Job and Shove It became more than a song when JetBlue Flight Attendant Steven Slater made his grand exit and became a working-class hero.
So why did he become a working-class hero to some people? Because those people feel stuck in jobs that are less than satisfactory.
There are 3 steps be getting out of a job you hate.
1. Get out of debt by paying off all non-mortgage debt. It will take you about 12 – 18 months if you are really motivated. A great way to get the help you'll need is to take a class like Creating True Financial Independence or Financial Peace University.
2. Establish an emergency fund equal to 3 to 6 months of living expenses. This will give you the freedom to try something new without having to worry about short-term income.
3. Find your passion. The is a wonderful book called The Passion Test and there is an online Passion Test.
These 3 steps will change your life. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want?

Basic trigonometric ratios
Using trig functions part II A couple of more examples of using Trig functions to solve the sides of a triangle.
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome back.
- I just want to do a couple more of these problems, just so you,
- I guess, see a few couple more problems and get some practice.
- So let's start with another problem.
- As always, let me draw my triangle.
- I always like to draw it a little different
- to confuse you.
- Let's say that this angle up here is 0.36 radians.
- An angle is 0.36 radians, and then this side right here, this
- top side-- let me do it in a different color-- this top side
- in pink is square root of 73 units long or whatever.
- It could be inches or feet or whatever.
- But it's square root of 73 units long.
- So my question is, what is this side here, this green side?
- Well, how did we do this type of problem last time?
- We should figure out what sides we're dealing with.
- Are we dealing with the adjacent and the opposite, the
- adjacent and the hypotenuse, the opposite and the
- hypotenuse, and then we'll know which trig functions we
- should be dealing with.
- So we know this side, this pink side-- and this pink side, it
- should be almost second nature by now, is the
- hypotenuse, right?
- It's the longest side, and it's opposite the right angle.
- So we know the hypotenuse, and what are we solving for?
- Well, this is the angle we know, so we're solving
- for the opposite side.
- So we're solving for the opposite side, and we know the
- hypotenuse, so what trig function will we probably use?
- Let's write out our mnemonic.
- So what did I say before?
- We're solving for the opposite sign, and we know the
- hypotenuse, so we are going to use the opposite and
- the hypotenuse.
- So which of these is that?
- The opposite and the hypotenuse, the o
- and the h, right?
- It's SOH, right?
- And SOH says that sine is equal to the opposite
- over the hypotenuse.
- Sine of an angle-- in this case, it's this angle-- sine of
- 0.36 radians-- remember, this is radians we're dealing with,
- not degrees-- is equal to the opposite side.
- And the opposite side is this green side right here, so I'll
- just write opposite instead of writing o because o would look
- like a 0-- is equal to the opposite side over the
- hypotenuse, right?
- This is just sine is equal to opposite over hypotenuse.
- Well, what's the hypotenuse length?
- Well, it's the square root of 73.
- These are p's, by the way.
- I know they don't look like p's, but opposite.
- So the opposite side-- we're just multiplying both sides by
- the square root of 73-- is equal to the square root of 73
- times the sine of 0.36 radians.
- Now, once again, I don't know what the sign of 0.36 radians
- is in my head, but I'll tell you the answer.
- The sine of 0.36 radians is equal to-- I'm just rewriting
- this-- the sine of 0.36 radians, if you looked it up on
- a table or if you used your calculator in radian mode, is 3
- square roots of 73 over 73.
- And, of course, your calculator is going to give you
- something-- it'll give you some decimal number.
- I won't write it this way.
- So just remember, this is this.
- And I just looked that up.
- There's no magic there.
- And the square root-- or you could use a calculator.
- On the Khan Academy, when you do problems, it'll actually
- tell you what it is, so you don't have to use a calculator.
- So now we just simplify.
- Square root of 73 times square root of 73 is 73 over 73 is
- equal to 1, so these all cancel out.
- And we get the answer of 3.
- So this side right here is 3.
- And just out of curiosity, if you wanted to solve for this
- side, there's two ways we could do it, right?
- We could use the Pythagorean theorem, because, you know, a
- squared plus b squared is equal to c squared, or we
- could use trigonometry.
- I'll let you guess what trig function--
- actually, let's do that.
- Let's figure out that side using trigonometry, and then
- let's figure out that side using the Pythagorean theorem,
- just to show that everything fits together in math.
- So I wrote that 3 there, so I can erase all of this stuff.
- Let me erase it.
- I shouldn't have erased the SOHCAHTOA.
- Actually, we should have that memorized by now.
- All right, so let's figure out what this orange side is here.
- And if you think about it, we could do it a bunch of ways.
- We could say, well, this is the adjacent side, right?
- Because we know the opposite and we know the hypotenuse.
- So we could either use-- we know the opposite, so we could
- say what trig function uses the opposite and the adjacent?
- Well, that's tangent function, right?
- So we could say tangent of 0.36-- let's call
- this side A, right?
- A for adjacent.
- Tangent of 0.36 is equal to the opposite, 3, over
- the adjacent, over A.
- Is there another trigonometry way we could think about this?
- Well, we also know the hypotenuse.
- What trig function uses the hypotenuse and the adjacent?
- Well, if you remember, SOH CAH TOA.
- CAH, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.
- So we could say cosine of 0.36 is equal to adjacent
- over square root of 73.
- And I'll just write SOHCAHTOA here, just so you can
- confirm what I'm doing.
- The TOA says the tangent is equal to the opposite, 3, over
- the adjacent, and CAH tells us the cosine is equal to the
- adjacent over the hypotenuse.
- So we could solve either one of these.
- If we use the second formula, we would get the adjacent side
- is equal to the square root of 73 times the cosine of 0.36,
- and then if you use your calculator in radian mode, or
- I'll just tell you, that cosine of 0.36 radians is equal to 8
- square roots of 73 over 73.
- And you can confirm that by getting a decimal number and
- then-- making sure once again your calculator is not in
- degree mode, but in radian mode.
- I think that's actually the default mode in a lot of
- calculators-- and solving for this.
- But once again, the 73, this square root of 73 times this
- square root of 73, is equal to 73, and then divided by 73.
- These all cancel out.
- How convenient, huh?
- And you get 8.
- So the adjacent side is equal to 8.
- And so if we'd solved for A here using the tangent
- function, we should've also gotten the adjacent
- side is equal to 8.
- And just to show you that everything works out from other
- concepts, let me show you this using the Pythagorean theorem.
- So 8 squared plus 3 squared should equal
- the hypotenuse squared.
- The square root of 73 squared.
- Well, 8 squared is 64 plus 9 should equal-- what's the
- square root of 73 squared?
- Right, it's 73.
- And, of course, 64 plus 9 is 73.
- And sure enough, that equals 73, so it works.
- Isn't that interesting how math just kind of fits together?
- I think at this point you're ready to try the modules, the
- Trigonometry II modules, and I guess let me know if you
- have any problems, or if you want to see more videos.
- Have fun!

Deep trenches, unexplored surfaces and a long, treacherous journey: Sounds like a voyage to Mars, but it also describes the trip to the bottoms of Earth's own oceans, about which we know even less than the Red Planet.
What better way to explore the unknown than with an array of robotic subs? Human-occupied underwater vehicles are limited by how long they can stay underwater, and those that are unmanned traditionally have had to be connected to ships via a long control cable. Due to advances in programming and communication, some have been able to go cordless.
Earlier this year, ScientificAmerican.com reported on a few of these submersibles. Here's an update on where a couple free-ranging subs are now.
One independent swimmer, Nereus, has now reached the Pacific's Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean, reports the BBC. It's the first time in more than 10 years that a vehicle has ventured into the trench, and a dive last Sunday took the sub down to a depth of more than 35,761 feet (10,900 meters).
"With a robot like Nereus, we can now explore virtually anywhere in the ocean," Andy Bowen, principal developer of the sub at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, told the BBC. "The trenches are virtually unexplored, and I am absolutely certain Nereus will enable new discoveries."
Another autonomous oceangoing vehicle was launched off the coast of New Jersey in April. Rutgers University's RU27—aka The Scarlet Knight, after the school's mascot—is gliding across the Atlantic via the Gulf Stream current, measuring temperature, salinity and water density along the way, reports Wired. Notes from the research team reveal that the glider craft is making good time and even comes to the surface from time to time to check in (via remote communication) with the researchers back home—calls they wait anxiously for.

Previous: Brian Greene wants to turn your children into scientists
Nereus was not used in its "wireless" form on our dives to the Challenger Deep. The press release that can be found at www.whoi.edu tells the whole story. Nereus can run as an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, untethered) or with a fiber optic tether (ROV, remotely operated vehicle, tethered). In the AUV mode, communications must use acoustics which are limited to bandwidths far less than a dial-up line. But in ROV mode the optical fiber carries several channels of gigabit ethernet, which can carry high-quality video signals.
We had the option of running Nereus in its AUV configuration but chose to use the ROV option, with its abundant real-time feedback, for our engineering trials to the Challenger Deep. The fiber optic tether resembles lightweight fishing line. Unlike traditional tethers used on ROVs, the thin optical fiber allows the vehicle great freedom of movement, and we were able to exploit this capability on our 11km dives and at a hydrothermal vent site at 3km depth. On our first 11km dive, we examined the deep basin and the base of the tectonic plates on each side, travelling several kilometers. The combination of high bandwidth and maneuverability opens up many new options for seafloor exploration.

Abstract "Plastic made from milk" —that certainly sounds like something made-up. If you agree, you may be surprised to learn that in the early 20th century, milk was used to make many different plastic ornaments —including jewelry for Queen Mary of England! In this chemistry science project, you can figure out the best recipe to make your own milk plastic (usually called casein plastic) and use it to make beads, ornaments, or other items.Objective In this chemistry science project, you will investigate which is the best recipe for making plastic out of milk. Introduction What can you make out of milk? Cheese, butter, whipped cream, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream, and...plastic! Are you surprised by plastic? It is true. In fact, from the early 1900s until about 1945, plastic made from milk was quite common. This plastic, known as casein plastic or by the trade names Galalith and Erinoid, was used to manufacture buttons, decorative buckles, beads, and other jewelry, as well as fountain pens and hand-held mirrors and fancy comb-and-brush sets. Figure 1 below shows examples of belt buckles made from casein plastic in the 1930s and '40s; more examples can be found in the references in the Bibliography.
But how can milk be changed into plastic? To answer that we need to think first about what plastic is. The word plastic is used to describe a material that can be molded into many shapes. Plastics do not all look or feel the same. Think of a plastic grocery bag, a plastic doll or action figure, a plastic lunch box, and a disposable plastic water bottle. They are all made of plastic, but they look and feel different. Why? Their similarities and differences come from the molecules that they, like everything else, are made of. Molecules are the smallest units (way too small to see with your eye!) of any given thing. Plastics are similar because they are all made up of molecules that are repeated over and over again in a chain. These are called polymers, and all plastics are polymers. Sometimes polymers are chains of just one type of molecule, as in the top half of Figure 2 below. In other cases polymers are chains of different types of molecules, as in the bottom half of Figure 2, that link together in a regular pattern. A single repeat of the pattern of molecules in a polymer (even if the polymer uses only one type of molecule) is called a monomer.
Milk contains many molecules of a protein called casein. When you heat milk and add an acid (in our case vinegar), the casein molecules unfold and reorganize into a long chain. Each casein molecule is a monomer and the polymer you make is made up of many of those casein monomers hooked together in a repeating pattern like the top (all pink) example in Figure 2.. The polymer can be scooped up and molded, which is why it is a plastic. In this chemistry science project, you will investigate what is the best recipe for making casein plastic by making batches of heated milk with different amounts of vinegar. How much vinegar is needed to give you the most plastic? Without enough vinegar the casein molecules do not unfold well, making it difficult for them to link together into a polymer. Of course, if you were manufacturing you would be thinking about both the amount of plastic you can make and the cost. The more of any ingredient you use the more expensive the end product is. The "best" recipe will have the highest yield (make the most plastic) for the smallest amount of vinegar. The plastic you make will be a bit more crumbly and fragile than Galalith or Erinoid. That is because the companies that made those casein plastics included a second step. They washed the plastic in a harsh chemical called formaldehyde. The formaldehyde helped harden the plastic. Although you will not use formaldehyde because it is too dangerous to work with at home, you will still be able to mold the unwashed casein plastic you make. Once you have a recipe, with the best ratio of vinegar to milk, for your casein plastic, you can have fun with it. Try shaping it, molding it, or dyeing it to make beads, figures, or ornaments, such as those shown in Figure 3 below.

Chemist Everything in the environment, whether naturally occurring or of human design, is composed of chemicals. Chemists search for and use new knowledge about chemicals to develop new processes or products. |
Chemical Engineer Chemical engineers solve the problems that affect our everyday lives by applying the principles of chemistry. If you enjoy working in a chemistry laboratory and are interested in developing useful products for people, then a career as a chemical engineer might be in your future. | |||
Industrial Engineer You've probably heard the expression "build a better mousetrap." Industrial engineers are the people who figure out how to do things better. They find ways that are smarter, faster, safer, and easier, so that companies become more efficient, productive, and profitable, and employees have work environments that are safer and more rewarding. You might think from their name that industrial engineers just work for big manufacturing companies, but they are employed in a wide range of industries, including the service, entertainment, shipping, and healthcare fields. For example, nobody likes to wait in a long line to get on a roller coaster ride, or to get admitted to the hospital. Industrial engineers tell companies how to shorten these processes. They try to make life and products better—finding ways to do more with less is their motto. |
Materials Scientist and Engineer What makes it possible to create high-technology objects like computers and sports gear? It's the materials inside those products. Materials scientists and engineers develop materials, like metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, that other engineers need for their designs. Materials scientists and engineers think atomically (meaning they understand things at the nanoscale level), but they design microscopically (at the level of a microscope), and their materials are used macroscopically (at the level the eye can see). From heat shields in space, prosthetic limbs, semiconductors, and sunscreens to snowboards, race cars, hard drives, and baking dishes, materials scientists and engineers make the materials that make life better. | |||

What makes a good online media planner?
Planning an online PR campaign doesn't necessarily require the same skills as a paid search one, or developing a social media strategy may not need the same proficiencies as that of an email one.

There is some talk over at NMA about the battle for control of social media. In one corner we have the PR agencies, and in the other there are ad agencies.
Personally I can't see any value in allowing either of these types of agencies to develop and manage your social media strategy. Or any other agencies for that matter, even those dedicated to social media.
Controversial? I should hope not…

Why is it still not uncommon to attend a social media or digital marketing conference and overhear stories about people with little to no significant experience who recently filled new mid-management social media marketing positions?
We laugh at the absurdity, but if firms can't differentiate between experts and newbies, how will they differentiate between the value of social media marketing and a hiring mistake when it all goes awry?

Last week, Econsultancy published a new report in association with digital consultancy Blue Latitude, The Impact of Digital Beyond Sales and Marketing: How Digital is Transforming Organisations. The report examines the impact of digital across the business and, consequently, how companies are managing organisational change as a result of changing trends in technology and customer behaviour.
It is absolutely crucial for all business functions to understand this rapidly evolving environment, and with that in mind, this post summarises and explores the impact of digital channels across a range of business functions.

Last week I attended a roundtable about customer service hosted by Foviance to mark the UK's National Complaints Day.
A recurring theme was how customer service is often overlooked by those in the digital sector, despite being an area which permeates so many parts of an organisation.
Consequently, I began thinking about how companies need to identify and implement different areas of customer service.

Earlier this month, social media darlings around the internet were singing the praises of Old Spice, with Mashable claiming that the now infamous campaign was the "future of marketing" and that the agency involved, Wieden + Kennedy, had set a "standard marketing experts will admire and follow in the years to come."
Now, various marketing blogs and online news sources are reporting that sales have "fallen by 7%." But, with barely a week gone since Mr Old Spice conversed with "everyone" on YouTube, is it simply too early to predict ROI from the campaign?
Looking at the numbers, it seems the original analysis of the drop in sales may be flawed, given that it's somewhat premature to announce a verdict about the campaign's success or indeed, failure at this stage.

How often do you Google your own name? And how often do you Google the names of potential employees before opting to hire them? In these data-driven times, it is important to recognise that personal information is becoming much more accessible and can impact you both postively and negatively.

Whilst websites adapt every day to be as accessible and usable as possible, email hasn't quite benefited from the same level of attention in this area. Instead, marketers have frequently chosen to ignore these developments in all other areas online and continue to do things the way they always have.
Email as a marketing channel is being creatively abused like no other, and it is time for change.
by Philip Storey 18 May 2010 09:38am 10 comments
Whilst social media tends to attract much attention at the moment, the savvy marketing professional understands that success lies in using the best digital marketing mix and not over focusing on one channel.
Email marketing remains an important component, but what can be done to raise our game and generate even better results from this established and proven marketing tool?

Space camp serves as a proving ground for a group of bright youths who use their knowledge of science and astrophysics to rescue astronauts stranded on the International Space Station following an unexpected crisis. For as far back as he can remember, Jimmy Hawkins (Thomas Horn) has dreamed of exploring the stars and visiting the International Space Station, just like his father, retired NASA astronaut Capt. Andy Hawkins (Dermot Mulroney). Space travel is no child's game, however, and Jimmy, a bright young astrophysics whiz, knows that both of his parents have serious reservations about his deep-rooted desire to follow in his father's footsteps. After furtively applying to win a seat on the next space shuttle, Jimmy learns that he has been accepted into a prestigious space camp run by Col. Roy Manley (Josh Lucas). Once there, Jimmy and a team of teens called the Warriors enter into a heated rivalry against the highly competitive Titans. The Warriors are just about to admit defeat when an emergency aboard the International Space Station leaves three astronauts isolated and alone hundreds of miles above Earth. With the fates of the helpless astronauts hanging in the balance, Jimmy and his team hatch an innovative rescue plan that impresses Commander Phillips (Danny Glover), and offers newfound hope for the future of space exploration. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A champion surfer loses her left arm in a terrifying shark attack, but summons the determination to make an incredible comeback in this inspirational sports drama based on an incredible true story. A lifelong surfer who always felt at home in the sea, Bethany Hamilton (AnnaSophia Robb) honed her surfing skills in Kauai, and went on to compete in numerous surfing competitions. Then, one fateful Halloween morning, the wave-riding teen was taking part in a national surf competition when a 14-foot-long tiger shark emerged from the depths and changed her life in the blink of an eye. By the time Bethany reached shore, her left arm was almost completely gone. But just when it started to look like she would never ride a surfboard again, young Bethany used her faith and determination to reclaim the title of champion while being cheered on by her supportive parents (Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt), and Sara (Carrie Underwood), the kind-hearted leader of a local youth group. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hilary Swank and Richard Gere star in director Mira Nair's biopic tracing the life of famed aviator Amelia Earhart -- who made history in 1932 by becoming the first woman ever to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The trip made the aviatrix a national celebrity -- with help from her publicist George Putnam (Gere), whom she fell in love with and eventually married. Their union was tested, however, as Earhart developed feelings for contemporary Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor ), and the couple's marriage faced the ultimate tragedy years later, as Earhart's fierce independent spirit spurred her to attempt to fly around the world -- a venture that infamously shrouded her in mystery, as the pilot simply vanished after crashing into the Pacific Ocean.

The emotional dysfunctions of two people suffering from an autistic disorder known as Asperger's syndrome threaten to derail the pair's emerging romance in director Petter Næss' affectionate tale of love among the mentally afflicted. For friendly taxi-driver Donald (Josh Hartnett), patterns and routines are of the utmost importance. In addition to his love for birds and his uncanny ability to process numbers, Donald does his best to give back to fellow Asperger's sufferers by leading an autism support group. When the lovely but intensely complicated Isabelle (Radha Mitchell) shows up at one of Donald's meetings, the good-natured cabbie finds that love can be as painful as it is elating. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Not a sequel, not really a prequel, sort of a remake, more of a re-imagining, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights follows the blossoming love affair of young couple Katey (Romola Garai) and Javier (Diego Luna) against the backdrop of the Cuban Revolution in 1958. Katey is an American girl living in Cuba with her parents who meets Javier, a local. Javier takes Katey to a nightclub where he teaches her how to dance dirty Cuban-style. The two grow closer and closer, but when Castro takes over, Katey's parents decide to flee for the U.S., leaving Katey to make the ultimate decision. Tying the film together with the classic 1987 original is Patrick Swayze who reprises the role of Johnny Castle in a cameo. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Marie (Moore) is an American widow trying to raise two children under difficult circumstances in a small town in France. Marty (also played by Moore) is a successful businesswoman in New York City who wants to leave her busy life and lead a quieter existence in Europe. But Marty is just a product of Marie's imagination -- or at least that's what Marie thinks. Marty, on the other hand, is convinced that Marie is just someone she dreamed up. Who is right? Or are both of them wrong? And where does it leave the men in their lives (Stellan Skarsgard and William Fichtner)?

Nine years after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a small town in the Pacific Northwest still struggles with the troubling legacy of U.S. policies against Asian-Americans. In December 1950, just off the shores of San Piedro Island in Washington, a Japanese-American man named Kazuo Miyamoto (Rick Yune) stands accused of murder after his close friend Carl Heine (Eric Thal) is found drowned in icy waters. As the trial gets under way, with Alvin Hooks (James Rebhorn) prosecuting Kazuo and Nels Gudmundsson (Max Von Sydow) defending him, reporter Ishmael Chambers (Ethan Hawke) covers the proceedings for the local newspaper. It's difficult for Ishmael to view the trial objectively, as his first love was a Japanese-American girl named Hatsue (Youki Kudoh), who later married Kazuo. Now, Ishmael has discovered that, when the Japanese-American residents of San Piedro Island were sent to internment camps during World War II, Carl's mother used their incarceration to scuttle a land purchase by Kazuo's family. This could suggest a motive for murder, but Ishmael is reluctant to step forward with the story. Snow Falling on Cedars was based on the best-selling novel by David Guterson, adapted for the screen by Ron Bass and writer/director Scott Hicks. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After a long career playing good guys, Sean Connery gets to have some fun playing a crook for a change in the romantic crime thriller Entrapment -- and he even gets to break the law with the lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones. When a priceless Rembrandt painting is stolen from a New York skyscraper in a daring and technically sophisticated robbery, ace insurance investigator Virginia "Gin" Baker (Catherine Zeta-Jones) begins looking into the matter and is soon convinced it's the work of master art thief Robert "Mac" MacDougal (Sean Connery). Gin thinks the best way to get the goods on Mac (and perhaps recover the painting) is to work her way inside his operation, so she locates him in London and, posing as a fellow art thief, offers to work as his partner. While Mac is smart enough to not accept an offer like that from just anyone, most thieves don't look as good as Gin does in a leotard, and she soon proves an able assistant in a shakedown robbery where they pinch a rare Chinese mask from a British museum. After this success, Mac agrees to join forces with Gin for what is literally the heist of the millenium -- as Midnight rolls around in Kuala Lumpur on December 31, 1999, the security computers in a major multinational banking facility will be breached for a split second as the computers roll over to a new program for Y2K. Is that long enough for Gin and Mac to nab $8 billion in bank transfers? Is 14 days long enough to prepare for a robbery of this scale? And will Mac and Gin's professional relationship pave the way for some capers in the bedroom? In addition to playing the male lead, Sean Connery also co-produced this film; the supporting cast includes Ving Rhames and Maury Chaykin. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Border Line
Executive-produced by actor Anthony Edwards, the made for TV Border Line is a showcase for Edwards' ER costar Sherry Stringfield, cast as attorney and single mom Allison Westlin. As the representive of the LA-based Fuller Adoption Agency, Allison has never had any reason to question the integrity of her employers--until she stumbles upon the murder of an Asian woman. Investigating, Allison unhappily concludes that the Fuller Agency has been using illegal strongarm tactics abroad, literally snatching babies from the arms of poor and helpless Asian mothers to service their customers. Working hand in glove with Private Eye Mariano (Christopher Reid) and immigration officer Macivers (James LeGros), Allison puts her own life on the line--not to mention those of her daughter and her Hispanic nanny (Elizabeth Pena)--to see that justice is served. Border Line debuted February 22, 1999 on NBC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Swing Vote
In this courtroom drama set in the near future, the U.S. Supreme Court has recently overturned the Roe vs. Wade decision and thrown the issue of abortion rights back to the individual states. Alabama has subsequently outlawed abortion on demand and has prosecuted Virginia Mapes (Lisa Gay Hamilton) for first degree murder after she opted to terminate her pregnancy. Mapes and her attorney have taken the case to the Supreme Court in hopes of keeping her out of prison, and with the court evenly divided on the issue, newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Joseph Kirkland (Andy Garcia) looks to be the man who will cast the deciding vote in a case that could reinstate a woman's right to choose. Kirkland, however, finds himself surrounded by proponents of both the pro-choice and pro-life agendas, with his fellow justices, his secretary and even his wife trying to influence his vote. Produced for ABC Television, Swing Vote boasts a distinguished supporting cast, including Harry Belafonte, Robert Prosky, Milo O'Shea, Kate Nelligan, Albert Hall, and Bob Balaban. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Based on a metaphysical 1978 novel by science fiction and horror author Richard Matheson, this romantic fantasy-drama won an Oscar for its expensive and impressive visual vistas depicting an imaginative afterlife. Robin Williams stars as Chris Nielsen, a doctor who has suffered with his artist wife Annie (Annabella Sciorra) through the devastating loss of their children, Marie and Ian, who were killed in a car accident. Although Annie's all-consuming depression nearly destroyed their marriage, the couple rebuilt their relationship and are now living out a comfortable middle age. Stopping one night to help a motorist in a wreck, Chris is struck by a car and killed. At first confused about where he is, Chris meets Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a spiritual guide who helps him to realize he's passed away and that he must move on to the next world. After trying with only limited success to communicate with the devastated Annie, Chris moves on and discovers an afterlife that can become whatever one envisions, where even his pet dog awaits him. What Chris envisions as paradise are the paintings of his wife, and he happily takes up residence there, awaiting the far-off day when Annie will eventually join him. He also meets his children, although they have chosen different appearances than the ones they had in life. Then tragedy strikes when Annie, inconsolable, commits suicide and goes to Hell. Although it is rarely done, Chris insists on traveling there, risking his eternal soul to save the woman he loves. Accompanied part of the way by Albert and a wizened guide called The Tracker (Max von Sydow), Chris finally reaches Annie in Hell, and must convince her of the truth in order to release her from her dark prison. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Terry McMillan and Ron Bass wrote this screenplay based on McMillan's semi-autobiographical best-selling novel (over 2,000,000 copies in print before the release of this film). San Francisco stockbroker Stella (Angela Bassett), a 40-year-old divorcee, has a nice Marin County home and an 11-year-old son, Quincy (Michael J. Pagan). With Quincy off to see his dad, Stella and her best friend Delilah (Whoopi Goldberg) vacation in Jamaica, where she meets sexy, good-looking Winston Shakespeare (Taye Diggs).

Mrs. Doubtfire director Chris Columbus continues to explore the family turmoil of divorce in the tearjerker Stepmom, a story that pits the birth mother against the new mother. Jackie (Susan Sarandon), a one-time book editor, is now the consummate soccer mom juggling the schedules of her two kids in her New York ranch outside of Manhattan. Her ex-husband Luke (Ed Harris), who gets weekend custody of the kids, is living in the city with a woman half his age named Isabel (Julia Roberts), a high-fashion photographer with a strong stylistic sense of "what's hot." Since Luke is always away at work, the burden of getting the kids ready for school when they are with their father falls on Isabel, and she just isn't the nurturing type. The story heats up, however, when Jackie learns that she has cancer. Facing the horrors of medical tests and chemotherapy, she realizes that, should something happen to her, her kids will be left with this irresponsible Isabel as their mother, especially after Luke proposes marriage to her. What ensues is part parenting lesson, part competitive parenting, but 100 percent family bonding, as Jackie must learn to allow Isabel to be part of her world and her family. ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

A woman realizes that friends can be lovers, but now has to convince the friend in question in this romantic comedy. Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney) and Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) were romantically involved in college, and after breaking up, they have managed to remain close friends. For years, Julianne and Michael have had a pledge that if both were single when they turned 28, they would get married. Shortly before her 28th birthday, Julianne is lamenting the sad state of her love life when she gets a call from Michael, who announces that he has important news. Julianne is convinced that Michael is going to ask her to marry him, and she is crestfallen when he announces that he's engaged to Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz). Kimmy seems like the perfect woman for Michael; she's sweet, pretty, bright, and adores Michael, and her wealthy family is just as fond of him as she is. But now that Julianne has realized how much she loves Michael, she's not about to give him up without a fight -- and isn't afraid to fight dirty. Julianne's uneasy ally in the battle for Michael's affections is her friend and editor George Downes (Rupert Everett), a cheerfully out-of-the-closet homosexual who is not prepared when Julianne asks him to pose as her boyfriend. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In this drama, a school teacher discovers that it takes more than the ABCs to get through to a class of "uneducatable" kids. When Lou Anne Johnson (Michelle Pfeiffer), a nine-year veteran of the Marine Corps with a degree in education, begins a new job at an inner-city school in California, the principal (George Dzundza) warns her that her class will be the "rejects from Hell" -- kids with severe social problems and no interest in education. While at first her African-American and Latino students scoff at Lou Anne, she ultimately gets them to open up to learning and literature, through a combination of bribery (candy bars) and intimidation (her karate training from the Marines comes in handy), and she's able to reach out to the students who need her the most: Callie (Bruklin Harris), a bright girl who believes she's thrown away her future when she becomes pregnant; Emilio (Wade Dominquez), a macho bully whose violence is stifling his academic potential; and Raul (Renoly Santiago), the brightest kid in the class, who is afraid to show his intelligence. Dangerous Minds was adapted from a memoir by Lou Anne Johnson entitled My Posse Don't Do Homework. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A dramatic treatment of a family torn apart by alcoholism and recovering from it, this was a star vehicle for popular actress Meg Ryan, who plays Alice Green, a school counselor who has a serious drinking problem. Her husband is Michael (Andy Garcia), an airline pilot. Though she's lighthearted and loving, Alice is often reckless and, when drunk, even neglects her children, nine-year-old daughter Jess (Tina Majorino) from a previous marriage, and four-year-old daughter Casey (Mae Whitman), whose father is Michael. After an accident, Alice realizes that she has "hit bottom" and goes into a clinic for rehab. When she returns home, she has kicked her addiction and has become independent and strong, and her perfectionist, controlling husband has trouble adjusting. Michael is used to his wife being weak and helpless, and they end up seeing a marriage counselor to recover from Michael's "co-dependency" on Alice's role as an alcoholic. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Director Wayne Wang and screenwriter Ronald Bass effectively interweave sixteen mother-daughter tales in their silken film version of Amy Tan's best-selling novel about the clash between generations. The film takes place in present-day San Francisco, concentrating on a group of late-middle-aged Chinese women. Ever since arriving in the United States after World War II, the women have gathered weekly to play mah-jongg and to tell stories, regaling each other with tales of their children and grandchildren, giving each other a sense of hope and renewal in the midst of poverty and hardship. The Joy Luck Club is made up of four women -- Suyuan (Kieu Chinh), Lindo (Tsai Chin), Ying Ying (France Nuyen), and An Mei (Lisa Lu). But when Suyuan dies, the three surviving members invite Suyuan's daughter June (Ming-Na Wen) to take her place. Along with the daughters of the other members -- Waverly (Tamlyn Tomita), Lena (Lauren Tom), and Rose (Rosalind Chao) -- June is a Chinese-American with only a passing interest in her rich cultural heritage. But through vignettes that switch back and forth in time, the daughters begin to appreciate the struggles of their mothers to start their families in the optimistic promise of the United States. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Hot off her success in Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts starred in this thriller about a battered wife stalked by her abusive husband. Roberts plays Laura Burney, the wife of a rich investment counselor, Martin (Patrick Bergin). Martin appreciates his wife as a trophy, but at home he abuses her for not keeping the house as clean as he would like it. The verbal abuse descends into physical violence --so much so that Laura decides to disappear rather than live a life under Martin as a brutalized slave. Laura fakes her own death by drowning, and relocates to Cedar Falls, Iowa, where she changes her name to Sara Waters. She starts a relationship with her friendly Iowa neighbor Ben Woodward (Kevin Anderson), but her happiness is short-lived. Martin has discovered that Laura has staged her drowning and is coming to Iowa to reclaim his possession. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

For all its state-of-the-art special effects, Always is essentially a remake of the 1943 Spencer Tracy-Irene Dunne fantasy vehicle A Guy Named Joe--minus the wartime context. Richard Dreyfuss stars as a reckless fire-fighting pilot who is killed in what was to have been his final mission. Ascending to Heaven, Dreyfuss is introduced to businesslike angel Audrey Hepburn (playing the equivalent of the Lionel Barrymore role in A Guy Named Joe). Hepburn instructs the spectral Dreyfuss to pass on his aviation knowhow to his young successor, Brad Johnson. Our ghostly hero also smoothes the course of romance for his earthly girl friend Holly Hunter, who after several months' worth of grieving has fallen in love with Johnson. John Goodman injects a dose of comedy relief as Dreyfuss' faithful buddy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Sawgrass Mills & マイアミ観光向けホテル"Hotels.com のゲストによる口コミ 2013年02月22日 投稿
フロリダ在住のものですが、ちょっとマイアミに行く用事が有って、折角だからSawgrass Millsも行きたいので、家族で泊りがけで行くことになった折、その中間点くらいで良さそうなホテルがないか探した結果、見つけたホテルでした。 ホテルの周りがあまりに閑散としすぎていて、ちょっと怖かった(臆病ものなので・・)以外は特に問題はありません。 まあ、朝食は正直満足しきれるものではありませんでしたが。 部屋も家族3人では十分に広く、ソファーベッドもあったので、特に問題なしです。 アウトレットモールとマイアミ市街に用事があるなら十分妥当なホテルだと思います。

The Metromover links the AmericanAirlines Arena, Bayside Marketplace, the Brickell Avenue financial district, the Miami Art Museum, and many other central attractions. Passengers can transfer to the Metrorail to venture north and south. The Port of Miami is near downtown, as are three ethnic enclaves: Little Haiti, Little Havana, and Liberty City, the historic African-American neighborhood.

"good for hassle-free extended stays"
Had a very good experience. I was apartment hunting and starting a new job in the area. Stayed for 10 days with my small pet. Good location for apartment hunting in Brickell//Downtown. Very nice employees. Grab & go breakfast convenience. Parking is $12/night and pet is $25/night. Lodging rates went down for a longer stay. Laundry room was a huge convenience, […] $2 per wash or dry load. I really liked the only once-a-week cleaning, I felt more at home & comfortable this way, in the middle of my transition. No swimming pool, but if you're doing an extended stay for business, that's probably not what you're looking for, anyway. I ended up wanting to extend for another 10 days but could not due to renovations. I would stay there again if I needed a similar setup, especially after renovations. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"One night stay before our cruise"
The hotel is in a good location overall, we were going on a cruise the following day. I actually expected there to be more of an option for food purposes. We arrived late on Sunday and there was no restaurants close, and also the cabs are very expensie getting from one location to another. It is a rip off by the cab drivers. I realize that they need […] to make money but we paid in less than 24 hrs a total of 60.00 for taxi, and that was just one family we spent in all probably close to 250.00 in cab. Next time we will definately rent a car. The hotel was ok. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

My overall rating for this hotel is a 2. The hotel service was ok. The people at the front desk were friendly but they weren't helpful, it really seemed like they couldn't do much for you. The condition of the hotel is not good at all. Our toilet was broken when we checked in and would not flush for most of our stay and our fridge was constantly leaking […] water which ruined most of our food in our fridge. We came home at 4am and the toliet wasn't working and we went to the front desk and they said they couldn't fix it and I asked if they had a bathroom in the lobby area they said no and I had to beg to use the employee bathroom which they let me use but it was ridiculous that we couldn't sure that bathroom in our own room!! The room was not as clean as it should of been. I felt like you had to walk around with shoes on because it was not properly vacummed and then there was spots everywhere all over the kitchen. It really wasn't cleaned as good as it could of been. The comfort was ok, the beds are not the softest things to sleep on and the comforter they give you seems very old and outdated.

The Washington Nationals and Live Nation made a major announcement on Friday that Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band's 2012 'Wrecking Ball' World Tour will make a stop at Nationals Park on September 14. Tickets for this momentous concert event will go on sale at 10:00am on Friday, April 27 at tickets.com.
"We are excited to welcome Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band to Nationals Park for what will no doubt be an unforgettable performance," Nationals Chief Operating Officer Andrew Feffer said.
Springsteen & the E Street Band have already earned accolades for their stellar performances on the current tour. Rolling Stone called the show "epic," the New York Times said "explosive" and the Boston Globe wrote of the concert's "energy that bordered on superhuman." Bruce Springsteen's 'Wrecking Ball' (Columbia) was released last month and debuted at #1 in the U.S. and 14 other countries.
Springsteen & the E Street Band is just the latest major act to play Nationals Park over the past few seasons. The home of the Nationals has also hosted sell-out shows featuring Elton John and Billy Joel in 2009 as well as Dave Matthews Band with Zac Brown Band, in 2010. One of the most iconic acts alive today, Springsteen & the E Street Band are sure to deliver a memorable performace this fall.
"There's nothing more American than baseball and rock 'n roll in the Nation's Capital," Feffer continued. "Bringing such an iconic show to Nationals Park is just an another example of our commitment to creating the ultimate fan experience."
