FY 2010-11 Proposed Resource Allocation and Multi-Year Capital Plan
The FY 2010-11 Proposed Resource Allocation and Multi-Year Capital Plan, and Five Year Financial Outlook illustrates our results-oriented approach to resource allocation by tying together our annual business plans, the goals and objectives for the fiscal year and the results we anticipate, as well as a forecast of our financial position for the next five years. With your support, Miami-Dade County has become a national model for linking our shared strategic goals, the specific outcomes we measure, and the financial and human resources that we commit.
Volume One contains an introductory chapter that provides historical, structural, and financial information regarding Miami-Dade County government, as well as a description of our strategic planning and resource allocation processes.
- This volume also contains the Five-Year Financial Outlook for our tax-supported budgets and proprietary activities.
- The section titled "Property Tax Supported and Proprietary Unfunded Service Improvements" provides a sample of some of the unmet operational needs for departments to address the long-term goals and objectives identified in the County's Strategic Plan.
- A summary of our sustainable initiatives follows this section and a facsimile of the final budget ordinances adopted by the Board is also included in the first volume.
Volume Two includes the Business Plan, organized by Strategic Area. Within each strategic area, the mission, key priority outcomes, and departmental narratives, including the budget, performance measures, and anticipated results are detailed. To make the information easier to interpret, visual representations of the sources of revenue and types of expenditures for each department have been added to the narratives. Funding schedules have been co-located within each narrative. The information in the narratives has been refined to emphasize the linkages between resource allocations and the results we measure.
Volume Three contains detailed schedules for the capital projects approved as part of the final adopted budget, unfunded capital projects, and capital budget summaries.

Great view, nice ambiance, but since they reopened the quality of the food wasn't so great. The sushi was average it used to be better. Now we have to look for another sushi place in Lakeway.
False Advertising – After our local Chamber of Commerce posted a 1st Monday of the Month offer of 1/2 off all sushi at Mizu on their FB page, my husband and I went for dinner on Monday night. The Mizu manager refused to honor the 1/2 off offer. He said they stopped doing that in April and they have no control over what is posted on the Chamber's FB page. He was unapologetic and unfriendly. His poor customer service just lost a regular customer. We will not be dining at Mizu anymore.
BEST WHITE GRAPE SANGRIA! – Get the tropical thunder roll...and white grape sangria!
Added with the atmosphere....you wont be disappointed!
Great Food and Beautiful Restaurant with a View. – We went to Mizu Prime Steak and Sushi to celebrate my husband's birthday. To start we both had the mixed green salad which was made with fresh greens, orange segments, cucumbers, overnight tomatoes with roasted leek vinaigrette dressing. My husband had the prime filet which was cooked to perfection. Along with the prime filet there were truffle mashed potatoes, oyster mushrooms, and asparagus with a demi-glaze. I usually do not like mushrooms; however, the oyster mushrooms were delicious. I decided to have the Alaskan halibut which was wonderfully seasoned. My livornese potatoes were cooked just right and the seasonal greens were fresh and tasty. To end the evening we both had a deliciously rich desert. We enjoyed the great food and magnificent view and will be visiting Mizu again.
good at first, horrible now – We went to Mizu when it first opened in the new location and were very pleased. In fact it was our new favorite restaurant. However we went again last night and it was awful. The menu had changed, the portions were tiny and yet the prices were still high. Our waiter was uninterested and uninformed about the menu. We had a salad, ribeye, two sushi rolls and desert. It cost $150. and I almost choked when paying the bill. Add to that the cost of a babysitter and it was an expensive and dissappointing experience. We actually left hungry. We asked for bread and they hesitently brought 5 thin slices of french bread and a dollop of butter. The $9 salad consisted of 8 leaves of lettace and store bought croutons. The sushi portions were laughable and the ribeye was thin and small. We are going back to sullivans for steak and mikado for sushi.
Sushi joint reinvents itself into a bistro steakhouse. – With a glut of kitchy sushi joints and staunch sets of old-school steakhouse already peppering the landscape, undergoing a metamorphosis to combine classic Japanese cooking with rich, upscale bistro fare was a good idea. The space--a free-standing modern cabin with a massive windows--is airy and modern. The location is pure Texas Hill Country complete with breathtaking views. This combination of traditional luxury with clean, contemporary design spills over to the menu. Edamame anywhere else would be dull or plain, but not here, where it's sauteed with garlic and wine. Nosh on creative and traditional sushi, or on whopping prime filets, duck confit, steak frites or even po-boys. Also on site is a micro-garden from which daily greens are procured and rushed to the table.

I was reading an article in Forbes recently and they were discussing what a million dollar home looked like in different parts of the country. They had some examples that were interesting. My question to you is, what is a million dollar home in your town? Put it in the comments with a link.
Here are some examples that will boggle your mind.
Greenwich Connecticut: a 1,400 square foot bungalow.
And then travel 109 miles up the road to Springfield, Massachusetts and you can buy a slightly larger home. Slightly larger means 11,000 square feet, or almost 8 times larger.
If you are looking in the South, Durham, North Carolina offers a college atmosphere and access to the triad region. This 7,253 square foot home sits on 2.3 acres and has 5 bedrooms.
To see more, visit Forbes.com, and don't forget to leave a link with the million dollar homes in your region.

"Strike early and strike often": that might be the new motto of the Cavaliers offense. In their current four game winning streak, the 'Hoos have scored on their first two drives of each game, and have outscored opponents in the first quarter 72-9.
Saturday night the Cavaliers had their most explosive quarter of the Al Groh era, dropping 27 points on the Pittsburgh Panthers in the first 15 minutes of the game.
Jameel Sewell threw three touchdown passes in a row, the first to Jonathan Stupar. The second was to Tom Santi. Santi leads the team with 17 catches and three touchdowns on the year.
The Panthers would fumble the ensuing kickoff, and the Cavs would take advantage, as Sewell finds Rashawn Jackson for the score.
The Cavs weren't done after a 45-yard Vic Hall punt return, the Cavs drive 21 yards, capped by the first of Cedric Peerman's two touchdowns.
Click the video link above to see the Cavs' first quarter explosion.

Ford Freestar Transmission Problems
jeepermeo2 Posts: 7I called Ford customer service. All thou they were very friendly they could not tell me any thing other then there has been no recall on the transmission. They said I could pay to have the van towed to the dealer and pay to have a dynastic test to see what the failure is. But no promise of any help.
nadineb Posts: 190Ford does not play well with others so I would not play nice with them. This is a well know issue, well documented issue, and if you are waiting for a promise of any help...I would forget it. This is a time to be assertive with them otherwise they will let you foot a rather large bill for repairs. From what I have experienced, Ford has not a bit of regard for your safety, financial status, or any ethical issues that revolve around this vehicle. All reasons that I will never, ever have another Ford in my driveway. I will express this to all I know, and the longer that Fords allows this miscarriage of justice to continue, the louder I will become in my expression of outrage.
sugarbear4250 Posts: 1i have a question....i have a 04 freestar with the 3.9 motor in it....ithas just recently started squeaking over somewhere by the serpentine belt and we just cant figure it out...it doesnt do it all the time only when it is cold...but now it will sputter every once in a while and die but it never turns on the check enginel light when it does so we have changed the belt tensioner because it wiggled a little thinking that was it but it wasnt...it sounds likeit is inthe back and lower on one of the pulleys but i have no clue...plz help...it only has 104,000 miles on it...we have replaced the everything but the sparkplug wires, fuel pump,and the motor and tranny because we havent needed too
misty10 Posts: 23We also have a 2004 and the squeaking comes from the cam position sensor. Just take out the two screws and unplug wire, then lift the cap off and squirt turbine oil or slick 50 lube. This does work for quite awhile but the part does need to be eventually replaced. It's about $140.00 and need the alignment tool to do it. My husband is a mechanic so I luck out with this. You're lucky because we had to replace out torque converter twice so far.
cknechel Posts: 1Have a family member with a 2005 or maybe a 2004 Freestar. The van only has 17000 miles on it. The tranmission just stopped working. No problems leading up to the failure. This just occured yesterday April 11, 2011. She was told that it would cost $3400 to replace. It is totally wrong that Ford knows there is a problem, and never had a recall. So much for anyone in our family ever purchasing a Ford again.
I was given three options for the transmission.
1. Rebuild existing transmission for $2200;
2. Install after-market transmission by Precision Auto Parts with a 2 year parts/labor warranty for $2600 or;
3. Get a genuine Ford transmission with a three year parts/labor warranty for $3150.
Since the car is an '04 with 60,000 miles on it, and I don't trust the Ford transmission anyway, I decided to hedge and go with the Precision Auto Parts transmission.
Any thoughts?
zachtmartin Posts: 1The transmission should be covered by the warranty even if you bought it used. I had the same problem, called Ford directly, and they took car of the replacing the transmission. Mine went out a 45,000 miles. You have to be forceful but kind with the people at corporate. They really are descent people. I hope this helps.
tervmom Posts: 12
Purchased a 2004 Freestar 11 months ago. We've now spend $1,400 in repairs to date. Took it in a couple of days ago to find out that the PCM we had replaced in Aug is already causing problems again. Luckily (or maybe not) the dealership did the PCM repair and I have my documentation. I'll be duking it out with them to cover the repairs since then that wouldn't have happened if they had fixed the problem right from the start. Mechanic opened the box to the PCM and told me that water poured out. In August, we were assured it was sealed up tight. Even the Ford mechanics can't fix these vans right! As someone else said, I thought the van was a steal but now I wish someone would steal the van!
ddivitto Posts: 3I have 2004 monterey, I replaced the transmission last year, and have had several electrical issues that seem to be the PCM problem. I called the dealer and he told the cost to replace the PCM would be $700 to $1000 dollars and he could not give any idea how long it would take because the part was hard find either new or used. So I had a friend who is a mechanic take the PCM out and dry it, and seal it up after replacing it, that was about 3 months ago and I am having problems again. Does anyone know if I could order a new PCM and have him replace it or does the PCM have to be hooked to a computer before using.
gobama Posts: 16I have the Mercury Monteray. My transmission and torque convertor both went out. The cost was around $2,300. We did not have it done by the dealer ship since they would not cover it. A local transmission place did the work. So far we have had no additional problems. We did purchase an extended warranty on the work. I gave up on Ford after several attempts. Mine is a 2004 and has less than 80,000 miles on it. I drove my last two Mercury vans, both Villagers well over 100,000 miles each and never had issues either of these. I was hoping the same would hold true with the Monteray.
philvid Posts: 8Only 48,000 kms, holly ****!!
I've got a Freestar 2004 - 4.2 l and the transmission went last August. I was at 150,000 kms approx. Cost me $2500. Lucky for me that the transmission shop has a one year / 30,000km guarantee. I need ti send a letter of **** to Ford Canada...What a piece of junk this van !

AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) — After playing a role in convincing star linebacker Khalil Mack to return for his senior season rather than declare for the NFL draft last month, University at Buffalo coach Jeff Quinn wasn't done addressing his defense.
Unveiling the Bulls' 18-player signing class on Wednesday, Quinn announced he added two junior college transfers who have the potential to make immediate contributions to an already sturdy unit.
Defensive end Tedroy Lynch, who played at Lackawanna College in Pennsylvania, is expected compete for a starting job left vacant after the Bulls lost Steven Means to graduation. Lynch was credited with 13 tackles for loss, including 9 ½ sacks last season.
And then there's the addition of linebacker Blake Bean, who spent the past two seasons playing for Butler Community College in Kansas, where he was part of a team that went 22-2. Bean is already enrolled at Buffalo and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
The two will join a defense that finished second in the Mid-American Conference in yards allowed last season. And it's a unit that will include Mack, a two-time all-conference first team selection, who has already set school records for forced fumbles (11) and tackles for loss (56).
Excited as Quinn was about his latest additions, he couldn't overlook Mack's decision to stay.
"I think the No. 1 recruit in this was Khalil Mack," Quinn said.
The coach played a role in Mack's decision, by traveling to Florida last month to meet with the player and his family. Quinn came prepared, saying he contacted the NFL to have the league complete an evaluation of where Mack might rank among draft prospects in April.
Quinn wouldn't divulge where the NFL had Mack ranked, but said he shared the information with the player to help him make a decision.
"I told him, 'I know the NFL's there. It's not going anywhere. It's going to be there another year,'" Quinn said. "I also told him, 'You've got some opportunities to continue leading this program and be a great player and establish yourself with another year of development.'"
The Bulls are finally showing signs of improvement as Quinn enters his fourth season.
Buffalo is coming off a 4-8 finish in which it closed last season by winning three of its final four games. That's a step up from Quinn's first two seasons, in which the Bulls went a combined 5-19.
"We finished very strong last season, and they're ready to build on it," said Quinn, who has a majority of his starters returning. "They're not going back to where it once was. They're moving forward."
Of the Bulls' 18 signings, 11 are defensive players, six offensive and he also signed long-snapper/linebacker Corbin Grassman.
Among the Buffalo's more notable recruits is Jacob Martinez. He had 1,007 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns and 1,181 yards passing and 12 scores last season playing for Bozeman High in South Port, Fla. Quinn projects Martinez to play receiver.

I really don't understand why Bare Escentuals never used the "lock" on all of its products from the very beginning. I hate having to open the pot and LOADS of products spill over from it tipping upside down in my purse. I'm always on-the-go so I wish my products could work with my active lifestyle. Nonetheless, this product did absolutely nothing for me. I probably would have done better with Rose Radiance as an all-over-the-face-colour but using the foundation and some kind of blush works just fine for me. I could definitely skip this step but I thought it could give me an overall glow. This one just put shimmer on my face and did nothing else. I definitely will not repurchase because it just made my face sparkle.

I have been waiting so long to write my review on this product because I thought I would use the entire product and I never have. I bought it as a highlighter as it is supposed to be and it just didn't do what it promised. I could not even seen the "glow" when applied lightly all over my skin so I decided to use a little more heavily it as a blush. Unfortunately, it does not give me enough color as a blush either It looks too pale pink and washed out (I prefer the love or rose radiance as a blush). I then decided I would use it as a neck/chest highlighter for a sun-kissed look but I prefer gold gossamer for that so I still have not used even half of it. I guess it will just keep sitting in my makeup bag unless one of my family members wants it. I will definitely not repurchase this.

The beauty blogger Jolie raved about this stuff, so I caved. (Luckily I found a mini-jar cheap on eBay.)
I know this is supposed to provide a subtle glow, but on me (medium w/ pink undertones) it's so subtle as to be non-existent. It simply doesn't show. I've tried applying it with a heaver hand, but it doesn't work on me.
I've gotten much better results with TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer and Benefit's High Beam.

One of my favorite products ever. I must always have this on hand. When I wear it people tell my my skin glows. I also really like MAC SkinFinish, but this is less shiny, it just gives my skin a translucent glow and minimizes my pours like you can't believe. It makes my skin look flawless. I LOVE IT! Try looking for it on Ebay or ask for a sample at Sephora

Not a fan. It was expensive, but when I look at it in the story it had a shimmery effect to it. It looked so pretty in the jar. Putting it on is another story. I brushed some over my cheeks so my whole face wouldn't look too shiny. However, I noticed nothing at all! No shimmer whatsoever. It was a waste of money. Will not repurchase.

I think this is a very subtle highlighter suitable for fair/light skinned people. When i put it on over the top of my cheekbones..it slightly tones down the blush and only lightly emphasizes the cheekbones. Its great if you dont like a very obvious highlight. I would say its one of those powders that looks the most natural. I like it but it is something that i only wear during the day when i have class or work. But for night, i like something like MAC pearl and hush cream colour bases. Those ones pick up a bit better in photographs. But overall...clear radiance is a great product and I would purchase again if i did run out. Lasts a long time on the skin and only a small amount is required to do the job.

This is one of my holy grail products - it's a shimmery all-over face powder used to highlight the skin, and it's the last thing I put on before walking out the door at night. It's the makeup equivalent of smearing Vaseline on the lens in classic Hollywood 40's films; it just makes your skin look PERFECT. It's not greasy or glittery, simply gives your complexion a gorgeous radiance and very subtle shimmer. Love, love, LOVE it!

Okay, so this stuff is wonderful for my skin tone and complexion.
I absolutely love it!
Of course Bare Escentuals products are never "cheap" in price, but they do last a long time. The packaging as we all know is a bit messy and you must be careful so it doesn't spill everywhere. With that said, I can live with those little downfalls. This stuff brightens my skin and adds a little highlighting to places where I most need it. I like to apply it to my upper cheek bones as well as under my eyes. ( lightly) I also use it on my neck, and chest. It gives my skin a smooth look without a lot of color. It gives off a very light pink/opaque shimmer. The shimmer is very faint but it is enough to make my skin look radiant and well hydrated. I use it after I apply my foundation. I then follow with the Feather Light Mineral Veil . I will continue to buy this. I hope BE never discontinues this item!

I am a sucker for products that promise me a youthful glow, and I have a drawer full of misfires to prove it. But this is the one that I go back to again and again -- I have repurchased this one more than I can count! I am very pale and cool-toned, and I like bright-but-not-clownish blush. So, after I put on my blush, I brush a little of this over my cheeks and across the bridge of my nose. It softens the blush a bit, gives me a nice glow (with tiny sparkles, but not chunky glitter), and makes me look like I just got the faintest hint of color from being out in the sun. Last year, I had surgery to remove a spot on my cheek, and it left a two-inch scar -- and I thought that this product would no longer work, because I feared it would highlight the scar. But the exact opposite is true: this diffuses the scar's appearance and helps it to blend in with the rest of my skin. So this one is staying at the front of my makeup kit, and I will never be without a replacement!

- Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
- Release Date: Sep 18, 2013
- Starring: Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Toni Collette
- Summary: Eva, a divorced single parent, spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter's impending departure for college. She meets Albert - a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest. As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne, her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems "almost perfect" except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much. Suddenly, Eva finds herself doubting her own relationship with Albert when she learns he's Marianne's ex-husband.… Expand

The first date that James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus embark on in Enough Said - has to be one of the great getting-to-know-you encounters in movie history.
Gandolfini deserves an Oscar for Enough Said not because it's the culmination of everything that came before it but rather because it goes in a completely different direction. And his least characteristic achievement is also one of his best.
You may or may not be surprised by developments here, but it doesn't really matter. What does is the honesty of the characters and the absolute delight it is to spend time with them.
This is one of the last Gandolfini performances, and it's the ultimate proof that he could change his look and sound and rhythm without losing the source of his power: the connection to that inner baby ever starved for love and nourishment.
The film also drags a bit toward the end, but neither of these is a major flaw in a movie with more funny lines than in most of Allen's movies these days — not to mention a saner, clearer moral perspective.
Sharp as the dialogue is, it's hard to imagine any of this working as well without the late, great Gandolfini.
Enough can't be said about how the late James Gandolfini comes so close to saving writer-director Nicole Holofcener's latest articulation of white suburban anxieties.

Oct 31, 2013This movie made my laugh, cry, and remember that life is short. Mr. Gandolfini will be missed.
But this is a fantastic last movie, and Julia Louise Dreyfuss puts in an excellent performance that is worthy of an Oscar. Great little movie. Moved my heart like "Beginners." We need more magic movies.… Expand
Jan 18, 2014I'm a psychologist in my day job (when I'm not reviewing movies, ha!) and have to say that the story really rang true with me. It just felt really authentic, about people who are human and have quirks and don't always make the best decisions, but who ultimately just want to be loved. And I, in turn, loved this movie. It had great heart, was thoughtfully done, and portrays candid emotions that we all go through in love and loss. I loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus and adored James Gandolfini in it. It also was a very funny movie, I laughed out loud several times. Like, it was actually that funny. Rave reviews, highly recommend it.… Expand
Sep 20, 2013Julia Louis-Dreyfus is REALLY good in this movie. She dials back the extreme version of herself that she trots out for Veep (which I also enjoy) and shows a vulnerable side which is touching. Gandolfini is solid and serves his purpose, but it's not his movie. Keener also goes through the motions here and does her standard nice work. I want to call out Ben Falcone, who is hilarious in this film, and the greenlighters need to put him in a starring role.… Expand
Sep 22, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been three years since Nicole Holofcener last released a film, and it's been fifteen years since Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared on screen. The latter's previous appearance was in a Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry, so it's quite fitting that her return would be in a film by the former. Though Holofcener's career is much younger than Allen's (and not nearly as prolific) her work feels right at home next to the typical Allen film. Instead of intricate plots, both directors prefer more open-ended explorations of the privileged middle and upper classes, and the various hijinks in which they dabble. And even though Enough Said's style and structure occasionally feel like that of a network sitcom, it is ultimately a highly enjoyable comedy, albeit one that operates at a broader level than Holofcener's previous work.
Having directed episodes of TV's Parks and Recreation and Enlightened in the years since her last film (the wonderful Please Give), it's not entirely surprising that some sitcom-y tendencies have slipped into Holofcener's authorial bloodstream. With its abundance of characters and hazily sketched subplots, Enough Said does have a tendency to feel like something of a pilot episode. Some of the comedy arrives in fits and starts, and some dialogue exchanges feel a too artificial for their own good. Under different circumstances, these traits would become large, painful thorns in a film's side.
Enough Said, thankfully, has the low-key level of craft and acting that elevates its material into territory that is entirely pleasurable, rather than grating. That elevation comes largely from Ms. Louis-Dreyfus as protagonist Eva, and the late James Gandolfini as love interest Albert. The pair of TV titans (Louis-Dreyfus is close to beating Lucille Ball's record amount of Emmy wins) seem like an odd match at first glance. And, in fairness, it's kind of hard to picture Elaine or the Veep going for Tony Soprano. They appear to agree. When the two divorcees meet at a party, they both dryly comment that there's no one at the even they find attractive. Yet that first shared sentiment turns out to be a hidden sign. After a surprisingly enjoyable first date, Eva and Albert's relationship starts to grow in ways they never expected.Of course, there are complications. If you've seen the trailer, you know how Eva's relationship with new client Marianne (Catherine Keener, Ms. Holofcener's muse of sorts) throws a wrench in everything. Yet whether or not you have foreknowledge of the film's surprise, it's hardly likely to affect your perception of the film. Holofcener keeps the pacing brisk, never allowing the more dramatic undercurrents of the story to suck the fun out of the film as a whole. At first, that makes Enough Said seem rather slight. And, truthfully, Enough Said is a modest, unambitious character-based comedy. Yet even among the sitcom-y scenes and situations, there remains a remarkable attention to detail when it comes to the characters. The ensemble is close to being overstuffed (with friends, ex-husbands, daughters, and clients), yet seeing Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini play against type is more than enough to give the film some intrigue. Watching the former handle less misanthropic and neurotic humor, and watching the latter be funny at all, proves to be the film's secret weapon.With the amount of time TV stars spend in a role, they tend to become associated with a certain persona, and are thus more vulnerable to being typecast. And even though Louis-Dreyfus retains some facial tics from her Seinfeld days, by the time Enough Said rolls into its final reels, there's no mistaking Eva for Elaine. The maternal compassion and hesitant romantic longing that the actress finds, without going overboard, is a delight to watch. For such a simple set up, Enough Said pulls its leading lady in a surprising number of directions. Individually they may seem plain, but the combination that Holofcener and Louis-Dreyfus come up with here somehow feels fresh.
More subdued, though just as enjoyable, is Mr. Gandolfini, in one of his last roles. While his untimely passing is tragic, he could still be alive, and his portrayal of Albert would be no less delightful. A self-professed slob, Albert remains good at heart. In situations where Tony Soprano would have lost his cool and started throwing punches, Albert keeps a level head and internalizes his feelings of anger and disappointment. It culminates in one of the film's best scenes, that also happens to be one of the few dramatic ones in the entire 90 minute run time. And even though Enough Said is broader than Holofcener's previous work, it still has her keen ability to use character-based comedy to touch on deeper emotional truths. Jordan Baker for FMR.… Expand
Sep 28, 2013I have to confess: romantic comedies are not my type. But there was so much hype about it that I decided to give it a try. I was quite satisfied with all the characters. Except one, the main one: Eva. Not exactly sure what I did not like about her, whether it was the script or directing (both by Nicole Holofcener) or maybe the casting did not quite match with her. As a famous Russian theatrical director once said, "I do not believe it!". And then that awful scene where all three main characters got together, Eva, Marianne and Albert. I nearly left the theater, it was *that* awkward. But enough negativity, overall the movie was quite watchable and sometimes enjoyable. Maybe I should just avoid rom-coms...… Expand
Nov 10, 2013I must be totally out of sync with what this film is purported to be...although I am almost the exact demographic target for it. I look for movies about people and where nothing explodes.
How was this a rom-com? Where were the laughs? And I do not see any thing like tears either...although I admit I nodded off at least 3 times! This was NOT as "Good as it Gets."
What was this movie about and why should I care? Basically, to me, it's a movie about nothing. You can not compare it to Woody Allen, where at least there are loads of subplots and underplots. Even when his efforts fail there is a lot to look at even if it's just great scenery. There's not even scenery in this dud..
I do think the interest in this movie has more to do with wanting to see Gandolphini's last work and that is coloring the responses. There was nothing that stood out in Enough Said. I don't even know what that title means. There was no interesting direction, no production values, no quirkiness or revelations. It was almost horrifically blah.
Finally, I am done with critics who duped me into see the tedious Amour with their rave reviews.
I am just so grateful I didn't drag my husband to this promising it would be a lot better than he thought. What a bore.… Expand

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce put together a great chart on the regulatory apparatus that would be needed to implement the economy-killing Lieberman-Warner global warming legislation. Not only would this be a massive expansion of government, but it would also have a devastating impact on states.

Why can't we have what's left of the free market take care of it?? Why does the government have to stick their nose in this???
The irony is that these jackasses believe that we believe that they care about us or the environment. Wake up America – the enemy is at the gate. If either Hilary or Obama is teamed with a Democratic/Socialist Congress the road to perdition will be expanded to sixteen lanes. Of course, the Congress will, as usual, exempt themselves from any of the rules that may somehow apply to them. To paraphrase Tiny Tim – God help us everyone.
Haven't you heard? Chicken Little said that the sky is falling, and everyone believed her. So, here is Al Gore and all his bunch saying that the planet is falling apart and everyine is believing him! The only difference is that Al Gore and his followers have found a way to get rich off of this scheme, and we are dupes if we follow. Wake up, America, this is just a regular recurring cycle of nature and it, too , will change into another phase, if it hasn't already started.
This bill is further proof of the need for term limits. The longer politicians stay in Washington, DC, the more conservative brain cells they lose.

Redskins Defense Projections: Preseason Week Two Edition
Heading into the 2013 season, the Redskins are hoping for an improved defense. The lack of a pass rush last season put extra pressure on a secondary lacking star power. Brian Orakpo is back to help supply pressure and a trio of rookies were drafted to infuse some much needed youth and athleticism in the defensive backfield.
Defensive Tackle (3)
Barry Cofield has turned out to be a premier free agent addition and we may see his versatility this season as a defensive end in certain situations. When Chris Neild was lost for the season early on in '12, Chris Baker had his chance and certainly delivered. Like Cofield, Baker has been getting some work at end. Former Patriot Ron Brace was added in free agency during the off-season and has untapped potential. Brace was selected by New England in the second round (40th overall) in the '09 draft, but never impressed in Boston. Conclusion: Some teams that employ the 3-4 scheme will keep only two tackles, but with the Redskins moving Cofield and Baker around they will need at least three. The battle will be between Neild and Brace and I would go with the upside that Brace brings.
Defensive End (4)
It is looking more and more like the team will have to do without defensive end Adam Carriker for another season. At 6'6″ 305, Carriker is an ideal 3-4 end, stout enough to stand up against the run while providing occasional push in the passing game. Stephen Bowen arrived in the same free agent class as Cofield and is a very underrated talent. Much more is expected (and needed) from Jarvis Jenkins on the opposite side. A high second round pick out of Clemson in the 2011 draft, Jenkins missed his rookie season with a torn ACL after an outstanding preseason. Jenkins was largely a disappointment last season, perhaps another year removed from the injury will help. Kedric Golston is one of the senior members of the team and is a steady backup. Free agent Phillip Merling was selected atop the 2nd round of the 2008 by Miami, but was cut loose after four seasons. Merling spent about half of the '12 season with Green Bay before signing with Washington as a free agent in the offseason. Conclusion: Carriker cannot be counted upon due to health concerns, but the four veterans in camp; Bowen, Jenkins, Golston and Merling are a solid group.
Linebacker (7/8)
The linebacker corps took a hit losing Keenan Robinson (again) for the season. Robinson was being groomed to eventually replace London Fletcher and 2013 would have been his last chance to learn behind the veteran on the field. Rob Jackson had a breakout season filling in for the injured Brian Orakpo, but will miss the four weeks of the season due to suspension. The return of Orakpo is huge, providing balance on the opposite side of Ryan Kerrigan. Kerrigan has been everything the team hoped for, and more, a leader of the team for years to come. This is the last run for Fletcher, coming off injury for the first time, lets hope he can continue to perform at the high level we are accustomed to. Brandon Jenkins was a steal in the fifth round of the draft this Spring. If not for injury, Jenkins had been projected as an early pick after an outstanding sophomore season. Perry Riley will man the inside spot opposite Fletcher and is quickly becoming one of the top inside linebackers in the NFC. Nick Barnett was a nice addition midway through training camp. After eight seasons with Green Bay, Barnett spent the past two seasons in Buffalo where he posted a combined 242 tackles. Veteran Bryan Kehl was brought back and although he provides versatility, will be expected to provide depth on the inside. Conclusion: For the long term, the team needs at least eight linebackers, we will roll with seven in this projects with Jackson being the eighth beginning after the bye week. The starting four are obvious, with Jenkins, Kehl, Barnett and eventually Jackson in reserve.
Cornerback (6)
Projected and returning starters DeAngelo Hall and Josh Wilson have been banged up, giving ample opportunity to others to get a chance and earn a roster spot. David Amerson could end up one of the steals of the '13 draft. Amerson has the size, athleticism and ball hawking skills that make up solid corners at this level. Another rookie making his mark is undrafted free agent Chase Minnifield. We know that Chase has the bloodlines and was a standout corner at Virginia before the injuries set in. E.J. Biggers was the cornerback the team decided to add in free agency and adds great depth to the position. Richard Crawford was a nice "find" in the '12 draft and figures in the long term plans, not only at corner, but as a punt returner as well. Conclusion: The team keeps half a dozen corners; returning starters Hall and Wilson, future starters Minnifield and Amerson, potential nickel back Biggers and a potential rising star in Crawford. Should injury concerns sideline Minnifield, I like the potential Jerome Murphy has, if given the chance.
Safety (4)
The position group needing the biggest improvement lost Phillip Thomas for the season, putting more pressure on fellow rookie Bacarri Rambo. Tanard Jackson is expected to be cleared by the NFL front office at the end of the month and remains a wildcard. Brandon Meriweather is being counted on to start and only health stands in his way. With our projection including six cornerbacks, only four safeties figure to make the opening 53 man roster. Reed Doughty is a fan favorite and a special teams cornerstone, but is a big liability against the pass. Conclusion: Will Jackson be able to step right in? Meriweather and probably the starters at this point and obviously locks to make the roster. I like what DeJon Gomes and Jordan Pugh bring and will run with them as the backups over the veteran Doughty.

SAN ANGELO, Texas — Atiba Bethea has done just about everything on the court for the Central High School girls basketball team over the past three years.
But one thing Bethea hasn't done is step onto the floor in a playoff game.
Tonight, she'll finally be able to check that one off the list.
Bethea, along with fellow seniors Caitlin Conway and Kassidy Lanford, will lead the Lady Cats into the playoffs tonight for the first time since 2008 against Arlington Lamar at Jim Ned High School in Tuscola.
"A lot of nerves," said Bethea when asked how she felt heading into her first playoff game. "I'm like really excited, but I'm also like really scared."
Bethea, the team leader in points, rebounds, steals and blocks, will try to help Central pull off its first playoff win since 1998 against a favored Lamar team that is 21-12 overall and was second place out of District 4-5A.
Central, 16-12 and third place out of 3-5A, was dealt a big setback when six-foot senior post Katie Wohleking injured her knee in the regular-season finale at Odessa High.
Wohleking, a four-year letterman, was instrumental for Central in its playoff push, but she won't be able to play after four years of trying to help Central reach the postseason.
"Katie had been playing by far her best basketball in the month of February and January," Central head coach Jan Wakefield said. "She was just battling on the boards, battling offensively and battling defensively, so it was a huge loss.
"But we've always preached about our depth and being ready and prepared when the time comes. And unfortunately, that's what's going to have to happen."
Wakefield she will lean on 6-4 freshman Ally Standard and 5-8 sophomore Sophia Flores to try and replace Wohleking, who was also the team's vocal defensive leader.
"It's pretty hard, because we all love her," Bethea said. "She's like one of our happiest people ever. We'll miss her and miss playing with her because she really helps us down low and on the boards and everything."
Wakefield said Lamar will present a formidable challenge, particularly without Wohleking available to help defend 6-1 center Janay Keys, who leads the team in points, rebounds and blocks.
Last year, Lamar was 24-12 and reached the regional quarterfinals.
"They have a very good program," Wakefield said. "They have some good athletes that have come through there. They're well-coached. They're going to be very disciplined in their offensive sets. They're very quick, so they like to transition, and they're going to full-court press us."
Central has some experience of taking down a favored team. Two weeks ago, the Lady Cats stunned district co-champion Odessa Permian 57-38, less than a month after Permian beat Central 57-31.
"I think we'll be good, because we won against Permian when we were underdogs, and I think we might be underdogs (today)," Lanford said. "But I think we can pull it off if we go out there together."
Lanford, Conway and Bethea have all been on Central's varsity since they were sophomores. Last year, they were eliminated from playoff contention on the final night of the regular season.
It has made this season that much more special.
"We're really excited," Conway said. "The first time, yeah it's a big deal for us to finally make it there."

A:This adapter (1703.4) works on both Boston valves and Leafield valves. Buy 2, they are cheap and fragile. The adapter kit (#1733) should also work, but the pieces are easy to lose. In either case, just try nozzles until one fits.

GreatSchools Rating
Rosebank was a blessing to my son & to me. The teachers that my son was blessed to have while he was there were wonderful! They know what they are doing & I couldn't have asked for a better TEAM than we had at Rosebank! The principal, Mrs. White, fights for what she believes in for the success of the school when so many principals are content to stay the way they are so I see Rosebank becoming one of the number 1 elementary schools in Nashville.
This is my daughter's fourth year at Rosebank. I have had many problems with this school, mainly in the last three years. The staff is disrespectful to parents, as well as students. The teachers are incompetent. My daughter comes home everyday with homework that she doesn't comprehend, due to the lack of teaching on Rosebank's part. They treat the children like they are in the military. I feel as though my child is being bullied by the staff. The only good thing I can say regarding this school, is that the security is good and it is a safe environment for children.
.. Rosebank elementary has proven to be a school that continues to drive for the verry best educational training programs avalable to metro schools. with a staff that go's far beyond there requirements as teachers, thay spend countless hours preparing acitivtiys that make the chirdren look forward to school and instill pride and honnor to your children. The genuine love of children and teaching can been seen in each member of the staff. rosebank also has decated its self to reaching out to the comunity to increase parent involvement by devoting a area of the school for a parent area where parents can come for internet usage as well as many other resorces that are readily avalable.

Cancer center site eyed
East Litchfield location preferred by Hungerford, partner
LITCHFIELD — A nearly 52-acre forested property near Route 8 and Route 118 could become home to a new cancer center.
The land, owned by James Lucas of Harwinton and bordering Johnson Road and Route 118 in East Litchfield, is the preferred location of Torrington's Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and Yale-New Haven Hospital for a joint cancer center, hospital officials announced Friday. The parcel is near Exit 42 off Route 8, and about five miles from Charlotte Hungerford's Center for Cancer Care on Kennedy Drive in Torrington.

Buyer Beware – I have to say this is the worst place you could go to. I don't see how this place is eave in business.
never again! – I brought my engagement ring here and had the bands done. I also purchased my husbands ring and had his watch engraved all around the same time. The custom work they did on my ring was horrible, I can't believe that an artist would do work like this and say "I'm very happy with my work". When I had my husbands watch engraved it was engraved wrong and after a few weeks my husbands realized that he was allergic to the wedding band and could not wear it (they were no help at all). NOW, 5 months later I had a diamond fall out and they said, "It does not fall under their diamond guarantee because it was from wear and tear". Give me a break! I could see with my bare eyes from the very beginning that the bands are uneven, very poor work. I can't believe I spent a bunch of money at this place. I will never go in there again.
Thank you Nick Lavdas! – I had a custom engagment and wedding band done by Lavdas, Nick was so very helpful in helping me choose the right diamond for my budget and have the perfect setting created. I went to a few other jewelers before going to Lavdas, I am so happy that I walked through that door! I found the heart shaped diamond that I wanted, and had them create a unbelievably beautiful setting for me. It is just what I wanted and more! I am so proud when I see my ring sparkle like mad on my finger, it is so amazing. Everyone at Lavdas is so nice and so very helpful, you will NOT find pricing anyplace around as good as Lavdas, Nick guarantees the lowest prices TRUST me I am the type of person to shop around, do homework on the internet, compare prices so when I tell you that you won't find a better price on diamonds around Michigan I am 110% percent correct! Don't waste your time and money going any place else, because their is NO comparison!

not really and that's why i compiled a response
Can we get off the race rant, please?! Here's my problem. When people say "white," they are seeing a huge population as one color, just as people had done to those of darker complexions. So let's take a third look at those white princesses:
- Snow White: Bavarian
- Cinderella: French
- Belle: French
- Aurora: English
- Ellonwy: Welsh
- Ariel: "Atlantian," but listed also as Danish.
- Megara: Greek
- Merida: Scottish
- Rapunzel: Not listed, going to say German based on the source material.
- Anna and Elsa: Source material is Danish (Hans Christian Anderson). No word on actual nationality or suggested nationality.
- Kida: Given that "Atlantis" stems from it's Greek roots, I'm giving this one to the Greeks.
(Vanellope and Giselle are harder, because Vanellope is a white character from a Japanese video game, and Giselle is a parody of Disney Princesses in general.)
It's as if I said that Jamaicans, Africans, and Haitians were all the same because of their skin tone. Look, I know it's important to have a diverse group of characters, and it's important to me when I'm writing characters, as well. But bringing race into it like it's all about the skin color is just as bad as bringing hair color into it. I don't care that Belle and Merida are both white, they're from two very different parts of the world, and the stories reflect that. Some stem from the idea that these fairy tales and stories were from a certain part of the world, like Denmark or Germany. And some take a tale and turn it on it's side: The Lion King stems from an English story, but it's set in Africa with lions (That story by the way is Hamlet). Technically, Kiara is a princess, you know (and that movie was Romeo and Juliet).
I hate the idea that people constantly bring up race in this fight, it just forces the fact that we're different and separates us even more. Disney has had so many people attack them for their alleged racism, yet while those people have been argued against by people much smarter than I, they still whine that Disney is racist.
And look at that line in the Disney Renaissance: Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Megara, Kiara (I'm counting it!): 3 women of color (from 3 different parts of the world), 3 white women (from three different parts of Europe), and one Lion. They keep on going through to make many different characters from all different countries and backgrounds. Ok, if you add Esmeralda to that list as a female main character you get 4 white women, but Hunchback of Notre Dame was set in France, and had to take place in France. It's still quite a great balance, and during that time, and even to this day, Disney continues to make interesting characters and settings that anyone can sit down and enjoy, regardless of the color of their skin. So please, just calm down with this Disney hate. There are plenty of talented, awesome people at Disney who have many ideas to share with the world, and I'm sure quite a few of those ideas have just what you're looking for. But it takes time, and committing to those projects is a huge job. And hey, there's even more diversity in other movies that came out at or around that time by other studios. Titan A.E. had a kickass Asian woman who could hold her own, made her own decisions, and whom the male lead put trust in numerous times. What?! That's that whole awesome character from Pacific Rim YEARS before that was a glint in Guillermo del Toro's eye. Go Don Bluth. Anastasia, while not very good overall, set a story in Russia, a place where not many people make animated movies of. Again, Go Don Bluth. And Prince of Egypt not only set a story in Egypt, but went out of their way to depict the Egyptians and the Hebrews differently (two races of Middle Eastern descent, so…not white, either), not just as a different shade on a color palette, while also sticking to their idea of making them look similar to the Egyptian art of the time.
So my question is, where do you see this drastic lack of diverse characters in animation, including but not limited to Disney Animation?
The 'but the white princesses are all from different countries!' is a weak argument. The Europe you see in a Disney film is a very Americanized version of Europe (i.e. pretty much every pop culture reference). And ultimately, the actual settings are downplayed to make their films friendlier to American audiences. Ultimately, film goers will ID the princess as white from a vaguely European country.
The thing is this: everytime Disney picks a European country for their setting, it's furthering the idea that fairy tales are for white people only. It's flooding the markets and TVs and theaters with yet another white woman as the standard of beauty and virtue. And the Disney versions of these fairy tales aren't meant to pay tribute to to any European culture, but rather entertain and sells toys to young girls. It's also a cheap excuse for Disney to have white only casts, since medieval Europe was TOTALLY only white people (it wasn't).
You're demonstrating why 'color blind' thinking is harmful. Young WoC need role models and people who look like them, too. Creating another world of nothing but white people is hardly inclusive.
(I'm not sure how Don Bluth et al. factor into this at all? We're discussing Disney.)
(And I LOVE Disney, my favorite film is The Lion King. Please don't tell me that the only way to be a fan is to enthusiastically embrace any/all decisions.)
This person just pretty much sated without meaning to why this conversation is important. You can name all the nationalities of all these white princesses yet women of color don't get to have that. That's the issue. The issue isn't that we don't want any white princesses just maybe can we hold off and bring some women of color who are of different nationalities i.e. Japanese, Indian, Kenyan, etc.?
This person is truly reaching for straws at this point and it's laughable. Also, don't bring Don Bluth when we are focusing specifically on Disney Princesses and in particular the Princess line that gets sold in stores.

Look at all those men. Let's see, what characters were there in the original story?
Gerda, Kai, the Snow Queen, Kai's grandmother, an old sorceress, a prince, a princess, a woman who leads a gang of robbers, the little robber girl, the Lapp woman and the Finn woman. So that's nine female characters and two male characters in the original story. Frozen seems to be attempting to reverse that number.
But it's totally ok guys, cause Frozen is about sisters, so it's going to be just as feminist friendly and empowering as the original story for sure!
bolding mine!
And don't forget, her sister is described as the obstacle!
"What I like about doing a fairy tale today is, audiences want something big and meaty. It's not as simple as some of the classics like 'Cinderella.' It's not focusing on princess stories as much as family stories. It's one ordinary girl's struggle to help save the world, with her sister as the main obstacle."

Oh my God seriously.
semi-casual reminder that john lasseter has explicitly stated that one of his wishes as a storyteller/head honcho at pixar was to make movies starring boys because his young son doesn't have any ~positive representation~ in children's movies
[.gif removed by @baroness-boogerface for accessibility]
is there a source for this? my google-fu sucks
I just want my rage to be founded
kind of gave up on finding the original interview bcs i only got so much energy in me to devote to reading interviews with a dude who makes me mad, but @ferrific dug up these two pieces both of which are p gross and supportive of the whole pixar is a boys' club/pixar makes movies for boys thingamajig: nytimes / esquire
#but i mean tbh one need only look at lasseter's creative work 2 see the dude is casually sexist and appropriative as fuck #and he is completely unaware of it all
thanks so much, bb
Personally this is my first run-in with any outright evidence of sexism from him. I haven't thought about his career critically yet
He didn't want to talk much about certain aspects of Pixar, like the studio's shortage of directors who are women and female protagonists in its films.
"I typically don't read the reviews," he said, not exactly answering the question. "I make movies for that little boy who loves the characters so much that he wants to pack his clothes in a Lightning McQueen suitcase."

I keep having discussions about Disney films and how racist many of the classics are, but the subject that I most fall upon is the 1953 version of Peter Pan, which holds an absurd breadth of racial stereotypes that there are musical numbers and plot sequences directly the product of such racial stereotypes of Native Americans. Certainly, the film's portrayal undoubtedly permeated into the pretend games of children and their perception of how Native Americans behaved - I know this movie influenced me to wear feathers in my hair, pretend to do Indian tribal dances, and say "how" over and over.
The defense I hear most often from people is that films like Peter Pan "were not racist at the time they were made."
What they really mean is that white people didn't think it was racist at the time they were made. The film is just as racist then just as it is now. The fact that people can say movies like Peter Pan were "products of their time" negate that actual Native Americans have been vocal about their objections to the homogenization and stereotypical portrayal of their cultures and their race for literally centuries, but white people just didn't listen to them. The constant apologism that something "wasn't racist back then" implies that it is white society that deems what is racist, rather than the people of color directly affected and portrayed. Again, if it is racist now, it was racist then.
Also, children buy into these stereotypes, but children didn't make this film; grown men did. It was a grown man who wrote the original Peter Pan story and its stereotypical portrayals of Natives. People talk about white creators back then as if they were little kids who didn't know better. We shouldn't give them an easy reprieve because a bunch of grown men "didn't know better" to consider that Native Americans were people and not caricatures. If you like Peter Pan, you can like it, but we shouldn't downplay its racism nor make excuses.

As the Bridgeport Public Library's addition progresses, the city's police department is forced
to relocate.
The library expansion is taking over the former police space, leaving
the Bridgeport Police Department searching for a new headquarters.
For a short period of time, the city's police force will share
a space located in City Hall.
City Council President Steve Plummer says City Officials
have seen two potential spaces they believe will fit the department's needs.
"We're going to be looking into those here in the near future," says Plummer. "We don't want to leave the police department
in City Hall or the library space for too long because of privacy issues."
Plummer says the permanent move could happen in as soon as month from now, but could take two or three.

In a situation that was extremely trying for many local families, calm and order prevailed, Hellertown Police Chief Robert Shupp told Borough Council Nov. 5.
Shupp praised residents for reacting stoically in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, whose high winds left much of the borough in the dark for days.
"This was hard," he said. "I would like to thank the public, because everybody really took this in stride."
"I don't think we had one call that was involving an argument or a fight at a gas station or something like that," he added. "It was nice to see that nobody acted out or anything like that."
Shupp credited the fact that Dewey Fire Co. Social Hall was opened as a heated comfort station for residents for helping improve the situation, and councilwoman Gail Nolf also praised the school district, which opened Saucon Valley Middle School as a shelter.
"It was really a total community effort," she said of the response to the storm.
"Everybody loved Dewey's comfort station and the school district (shelter)," added councilman Tom Rieger.
Borough manager Cathy Kichline complimented the efforts of the borough's emergency services, and said there was "proactive" cooperation between staff.
Council vice president John Bate agreed that the overall response at the public safety level was worthy of praise, but said he would like to have a meeting to discuss "a couple little spots" that he thinks could be improved in the future.
For example, he said the staffing situation at the Dewey comfort station should be examined.
"It's always good to have a follow-up," Nolf agreed. "That's how we got better this year."
Fire Chief Rick Delmore told council that Dewey Fire Co. was "well-prepared" for the storm, and added that only 12 minor calls were received because of it.
