For more information about registering accounts Cards, please visit www.marcustheatres.com/rewards. All Cards must be activated and registered for use in Magical Movie Rewards, but
Earning Points.
Magical Movie Rewards members earn Points by registering their Card and presenting it prior when making purchases at Participating Locations and online at http://www.marcustheatres.com/ (each, a "Qualifying Purchase"). After registering your Card, you will accumulate Points commencing with the first Qualifying Purchase and will continue to accumulate Points with each additional Qualifying Purchase.
Subject to the restrictions below, you will earn Points as follows:
- Sign-up Bonus Points, in an amount determined by Marcus from time to time, on your first transaction after registering your Card.
- One (1) Point for each dollar spent on (a) movie ticket purchases at a Participating Location box office (including at lobby kiosks by manually entering your Card number), online at www.marcustheatres.com or through the Marcus Theatres® mobile app, and (b) concessions and food and beverage items purchased at Participating Locations; and
- Twenty-five (25) Points for the purchase of a $100 Marcus Theatres® Gift Card.
In addition, you may earn Bonus Points by meeting the terms of limited-time promotional opportunities offered by Marcus in connection with certain purchases.
The following restrictions apply to the accumulation of Points:
- You will only accumulate Points upon redemption of a Marcus Theatres® Gift Card or other discounted movie tickets and vouchers, not for the purchase price of these items (with the exception of the purchase of a $100 Marcus Theatres® Gift Card, in which case you will earn twenty-five (25) Points at the time of purchase).
- Your purchase of auditorium rentals, group shows, field trips, catering events, and other similar events are not Qualified Purchases and do not qualify for Points.
- If you use coupons or other special offers at the time of a Qualifying Purchase, you will earn Points in accordance with the discounted amount actually paid.
- Regardless of purchase price, you may earn a maximum of two hundred (200) Points per Qualifying Purchase and one thousand (1,000) Points per day.
- To maintain your Points, you must earn at least one (1) new Point during any consecutive one hundred eighty (180) day period or your Point balance will expire.
Rewards Dollars.
Subject to the restrictions below, as your Points accumulate, your Card will be credited with digital coupons called "Rewards Dollars," which, subject to the prior registration of your Card, you may redeem at Participating Locations toward the purchase of movie tickets, concession items, and other food or beverage purchases.
Once you earn 100 Points, you will automatically receive five (5) Rewards Dollars and your point balance will return to zero (0). You may use your Rewards Dollars by presenting and scanning your Card at a Participating Location's box offices, concession stands, and for food and beverage items at the time of purchase.
The following restrictions apply to Reward Dollars:
- Your Card must be registered to earn and use Rewards Dollars.
- You may not use Rewards Dollars to purchase gift cards, VIP tickets, or for auditorium rentals, group shows, field trips, catering events, or for other similar events.
- Your ability to use Rewards Dollars to purchase alcoholic beverages may be limited by applicable law.
- You must use your Rewards Dollars at time of purchase and may not exchange Rewards Dollars for credit against a previous Qualified Purchase.
- You may not use Rewards Dollars to make online purchases.
- Rewards Dollars are non-transferrable and have no cash value.
- You may incur taxable income in connection with earning and using Rewards Dollars as provided by law.
- All of your Rewards Dollars will expire if you do not redeem or earn Rewards Dollars in any rolling 180 day period, even if you have earned Points during this same 180 day period.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however
please talk to my agents about commissions as they handle all of that for me.
I look forward to working with you.
Butcher Billy is a Brazilian illustrator with a fresh approach, who loves to slice up ideas and imagery in popular culture and reassemble them in unique ways. Juxtaposing everything from Wonder Woman and the Watchmen to Morrissey and Breaking Bad, his work is ironic, humorous and very postmodern. His subtle questioning of pop culture using pop art as his medium is a juxtaposition in itself, yet in their own unique way all his images seem to make sense.
In addition to his illustration work, Billy is a creative director in a digital agency. He lived in the UK for a while, and has travelled widely. With seemingly endless influences at his disposal – including Banksy, Steve Ditko, Shigeru Miyamoto, Malcolm McLaren and Andy Warhol - Butcher Billy never runs out of moods and concepts to explore.
"I like to create freely and then realise bits of an artwork are influenced by the mood of a movie by Tim Burton, the brushstrokes of a piece by Salvador Dali, with a soundtrack from an early album by David Bowie," he says.
Give us a few details and we'll get back
to you quickly with an idea of Butcher's
availability and fees.

Newport News Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Newport News Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Charlie knows how to tie his shoes but never gets them tied tight enough that they don't come undone within a hour or two after being tied. Then it seems like we spend forever with him retying them and there is times I am in a hurry and everything has to come to a screeching halt. With school starting I tried to talk Charlie into getting shoes which would slip on or that had Velcro.
Charlie refused as he wanted a pair of Jordan's or Adidas and went with a pair of Adidas and they have to be tied. Which Charlie doesn't want use to help him do. So this morning when I found out US Family Guide was allowing us to conduct a review on HICKIES I knew I wanted to apply. As HICKIES turn shoes into slip on's and I also want to try them out in my own shoes as it is getting harder to bend down and tie my shoes.
Hate tying your kids' shoes everyday before they step out of the house? Hate stopping to tie your own shoes mid-run? HICKIES products turn any pair of sneakers into convenient, comfortable, and stylish slip-ons that are perfect for any activity from recess play to Mom and Dad's triathlons. Hickies.com
Works in any shoe with eyelets.
One size fits all.
Elastic material keeps shoes secure and comfortable.
Never tie again! Play uninterrupted.
Fun look, without messy knots and bows.
Adjustable tightness.
Quick and easy – simply slip on and off.

Never tie, never worry @Hickies Never Tie Laces on hickies.com 25% off w/ code USFAM now-9/20! usfamilyguide.com/coupon.php?bid=13107&dealid=3026
I will receive HICKIES in exchange for this review on behalf of US Family Guide.
This is a update to let you know our package of HICKIES shoelaces arrived and when I was getting ready to put them in Charlie's shoes my father saw our package of HICKIES and asked where he would be able to get a pack of HICKIES for himself. So now, I know what to get my father for Christmas.
Plus, you will find HICKIES in this years Christmas Gift Guide and I wanted to show you how HICKIES worked but I haven't had the opportunity to use them as I was planning on purchasing a new pair of Tennis Shoes for David although with my dad here the money I set aside for new shoes was used for groceries.
Now that my dad has returned home I plan on getting both Charlie and I a new pair of shoes this week and once I do I will be showing you how HICKIES worked in both mine and Charlies shoes and if possible I also plan on David trying them out in his workbooks. Although, like all men he is stubborn and I am not sure I can get David to try HICKIES out but with Charlie and I begging him to he might try out HICKIES for us.

Purple Mardi Gras Bead Dog Statue

Drag the Mardi Gras Bead Dog tab to view the evolution of this New Orleans favorite.
Up until the 1960's New Orleans Mardi Gras parade krewes threw glass beads. In the mid 1960's plastic beads replaced glass beads as the throw of choice. Often, when beads were thrown from floats they became tangled and broken. Children enjoyed sorting through the tangled beads. Soon, they discovered when the beads were twisted in various directions they could create different animals. The most popular, and the easiest to make, was the bead dog. Various school clubs, including Cub Scouts and Brownie Troops, and children's fundraising groups began making the little bead dogs and selling them for fundraising activities.
In 2008, Haydel's Bakery commissioned local New Orleans artist, Philip Weddle, who created his rendering of the old time bead dog trinket. As of 2008- 2009 Mardi Gras season, Haydel's began offering Mardi Gras Bead Dog merchandise. Items included children & adult apparel, original artwork and a host of other fun accessories.
Today, a full sized Mardi Gras Bead Dog mascot greets our customers daily upon entering our retail location. In the spirit of this New Orleans tradition, Haydel's Bakery donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Mardi Gras Bead Dog merchandise to a charitable organization each year. Annually, Haydel's Bakery sells raffle tickets for customers to take a chance to win a full sized sculpture. 100 % of the proceeds from this raffle are donated to a local charity of choice. The Mardi Gras Bead Dog is one of their philanthropic ways to give back to the community.
Meet the artist: Philip Lee Weddle
Philip is a graduate of the Art Institute of Phoenix for Animation Design and Media Arts. He pursues his artistic endeavors with his hometown in mind. Born and raised in New Orleans, Philip has a true sense of what it means to love New Orleans. His focus on local design, music and culture prompted Haydel's Bakery to commission him to develop the version of our local favorite, The Mardi Gras Bead Dog.

Maine governor rejects offer from state's wholesale liquor distributor
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Maine Gov. Paul LePage has rejected an offer from the state's wholesale liquor distributor to guarantee the state $320 million over 10 years if the state extends its contract without a bidding process.
Maine Beverage Co. President and CEO Dean Williams said he could guarantee annual state liquor revenues of $32 million, with the potential for an additional $4 to $6 million annually. Maine Beverage has held the wholesale liquor contract for the past decade, but it's set to expire next year.
In response, LePage said the state can do better by putting the contract out to competitive bids.
The owner of Lewiston-based Dirigo Spirit, which plans to bid on the contract when it comes open, also said Maine can get a better deal than what Maine Beverage is offering.

About Fragrance Oils : Fragrance oils are commonly used to create body lotions, candles, and soaps, as well as perfumes and mists. When you read the ingredients on a bath and beauty label or a cleaning product etc… , the ingredient that is listed as fragrance is what this is. Due to the proprietary blends that comprise fragrance oil it falls under trade secrets and the ingredients are not required to be listed. No manufacturer lists the ingredients in their formulas for fragrance oils. Fragrance oils are a synthetic blend formulated to smell like fruit, flowers, food etc.. they also are blended to duplicate brand name perfumes and fragrances. Fragrance oils are not the same in anyway as essential oils. Please see the description of essential oils on our essential oil listings. When well-sealed and stored out of direct sunlight, a fragrance oil can have a shelf life of about one year, though many will last longer. All of our fragrance oils are full strength, we do not add any kind of carrier, (see above statement) and they are all skin-safe.
Please make payment upon purchase, or you can pay with a check or money order, but please be aware that this slows shipment down considerably.
We ship predominately USPS. We also use UPS but only for very heavy items or items that must go ground. We will ship LTL, but it is the customers responsibility to set that up as well as paying the carrier directly. We do not us Fed Ex at this time.
We will ship internationally but on a case by case basis. Contact us to see if what you would like is something that we can ship to you. Customs rules for importing fragrance are very different from country to country and change regularly so we always like to make sure that we can ship to you before we take your order.

Ship items back to me within: 30 days of delivery

Let's Deal With Reality and Pass Immigration Reform
Radio show hosts and political pundits are suggesting that the primary election defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is the final nail in the coffin for passing immigration reform in this session of Congress. They surmise that other Republicans will be especially reluctant to tackle the issue for fear of losing political support.
If we are led to believe that the results of a local election with 12 percent voter turnout in a single congressional district (one out of 435) with a mere 65,000 votes cast is all that it takes to disrupt a necessary and important national policy debate, then America is in big trouble—not just on this issue, but on a whole range of issues.
Story Continued Below
I certainly hope that is not the case.
As a Republican, it's my view that efforts to complete immigration reform should be led by our party. Some on the outer fringes of the GOP may disagree, but the truth is we are humans first and partisans second. Frankly, the Democrats don't have a monopoly on having hearts.
While I do not practice or promote illegal behavior, the reality is that 11 million illegal immigrants are currently in this country. Let's face it, the United States does not have a process—real or imaginable—to deport 11 million people from within our borders. Those who favor the deportation of every person here illegally must understand that this position simply is not realistic. There is no wave of a magic wand that could accomplish such a task. Nor should there be.
Most of the immigrants who are here illegally came for the same reason as those who are here legally—a chance to make a better life for themselves and their families. They came heeding the famous words of poet Emma Lazarus that have welcomed generations of immigrants, including my parents, to the United States as they pass the Statue of Liberty and her golden torch: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free … Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me."
Poll after poll shows the majority of Americans support immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship. So, let's put the political nitpicking aside and deal with the situation.
Let's start by instituting a process in which all undocumented immigrants receive permits to legally work here. Let's provide them with the opportunity to get driver's licenses and bank accounts—simple things that we all take for granted. The immigrants here illegally need jobs, want to work and are willing to take on jobs that are not appealing to many Americans. Additionally, many of them are exploited because of their illegal status in this country.

Should Shield Laws Protect Journalists? Or Journalism?
from the key-distinction deptMathew Ingram has some excellent coverage of a bad ruling in Oregon, wherein a blogger was found not to be covered by the state's shield law (protecting her ability to hide sources) because she wasn't affiliated with some big media organization:
...although defendant is a self-proclaimed "investigative blogger" and defines herself as "media," the record fails to show that she is affiliated with any newspaper, magazine, periodical, book, pamphlet, news service, wire service, news or feature syndicate, broadcast station or network, or cable television system. Thus, she is not entitled to the protections of the law.Mathew's post covers a number of other recent cases that have been more broad in saying who counts as a journalist. And, of course, there have been attempts at creating a federal shield law for journalists.
But what really strikes me about this, is that a ruling like this seems to be looking at the wrong issue. It's not about whether or not it protects journalists, but whether or not it protects journalism. That is, in a few similar rulings, it always seems to come down to the affiliations of the person -- with the claim from some that if they're not working for a "media organization" then it means that "everyone" is protected by the shield law. We can discuss whether or not everyone should be covered by such a law, but even that misses the point (in a big way). The fight isn't over who should be covered, but what. The point is to protect journalism. And journalism is defined by the action, not the person or their affiliations. Anyone can do journalism -- associated or not. This does not mean that everything is journalism, however.
For example, I've noted plenty of times that I am not a "journalist." However, at times, I most certainly engage in journalism.
This can be true of almost anyone. If what they are doing for the sake of gathering some information is in the process of gathering that information to better inform the world of a subject, I think it's fair to call it journalism. However, that does not make the protections so broad that everything can be kept secret. In such situations, information can be revealed when it was not done specifically for the purposes of informing the public.
Unfortunately, this distinction between journalism and journalist seems to get lost all too often in these discussions, and it's why we get bad decisions like this one.

After my wedding (see posts from yesterday!) we went on Honeymoon! I wanted to go to Bali but we couldn't travel too far so we went to Greece (in fact this was only booked about 2 weeks before!).
Rhodes was nice enough and it was around 37 – 39 degrees celcius every day and to be honest somewhat unbearable for me. It was airless hot you know?!
Cats are everywhere in Greece. They can be quite dirty I was dying to clean their noses! The nice thing is they definitely get fed, tourists feed them and you can see water being left out. They can be vicious – Mr C went to pet one and he got his hand badly scratched in a second. I thought he'd caught rabies or something…
Anyway, a few times we took the bus down to Rhodes Town and found some really touristy shops. We also got stopped by a guy who told us we might've won an iPad as long as we went into a taxi to see an amazing hotel by a company called 'Aegean Blue'…don't ask (did we really fall for that one, Mr C?!).
So, if you go to Greece and some dude stops you and gives you a scratchcard and says you won XXX then it's a load of crap – you know it, we knew it, and still we went and had free orange juice for 2 hours.
The beach was terrible. It was a rock beach. We went to sample the sea and got about 2 steps in and started wobbling as it was SO painful to walk on. I started yelling at Mr C to get me out which would've been possible if he wasn't also yelling and telling me to get him out so we stood there like two planks wobbling in some shallow water. Oh, how the Europeans laughed.
We went to Lindos for the day with the intention of seeing the Acropolis but it was so so so so hot I knew we'd never make it up the hill! So here's a sign leading to the Acropolis.
Our meals were all inclusive. People are such hogs when there's a open buffet I tell ya, in the end I got so bored of the food and stuck to the salad. I have never seen so much feta cheese in my entire life (although I couldn't eat it, boo!).
I was starting to get a bit bored – I am crap at none city, none activity holidays really and what do I see on the top of a hill….SEPHORA!!! Rhodes has a Sephora!??!?!
The shop was great! Although they didn't have the US brands I am always lusting over like Josie Maran and Tarte, there was Sephora's own range and Make Up For Ever, then the usual high end ranges. They had lots of offers on, such as:
30% all Sephora ranges
25% all other ranges during happy hour (after 5pm)
50% off all lip glosses across all brands.
I lost a few hours in there…but it perked me up despite the heat!
I ended up acquiring a number of Sephora Glosses at 50% off, Sephora eyeshadows and waterproof eye pencils at 30% off, Lip Glosses from Chanel and YSL at 50% off (HURRAH). I'll review these for you soon.
The look of pure happy:
Also Greece is the home of lots of lovely beauty brands like Apivita and Korres. You can find their stufff in all the pharmacies! I kept seeing these Apivita express mask stands:
I got some Korres soap because me and Mr C's skin went nuts (more about this later) and 2 goody packs they do where you get a mixture of items for a discounted price, it 40-60% off!
Flying was horrible by the way – very uncomfortable but it was a really nice little break for us. I think my next break will be to a city though, preferably Asian! You just can't keep me away from the Shops!
Have you ever been to Greece?

U.S. Embassy Office Building, Tokyo, Japan
The current United States Embassy office building in Tokyo was built in 1976 to fulfil the increasing demand of operation space. It replaced the former white Embassy building which was built in 1931. The Ambassador's Residence, also completed in 1931, however, was retained on its original position in the same site. Cesar Pelli with Gruen Associates was chosen as the architect for this new U.S. Embassy building. The State Department of the United States provided the architects with a very specific program which set strict limits on the amount of glass that could be used and on the office space. It required the adoption of an office module of 4.5 feet, or its approximation in metric, and specified that the glass surface area be no more than 50 percent of the total wall area. The specifications resulted in shallow office spaces served by double-loaded corridors.
The United States Embassy in Tokyo is located on a 13,115.22-square-meter site at 1-10-5 Akasaka Minato-ku, Tokyo. The main entrance is on the north-east side of the site while the office building is located on the northernmost point of the site. The building, occupying 3,204.79-square-meter building area and 23,347.44-square-meter total floor area, is placed on a north-south axis, arranged at an oblique angle to the main approach. The sitting of the building allows for a large amount of open space and the preservation of a magnificent old ginkgo tree. A hillside planted with well grown specimen trees is also taken advantage of to form a natural backdrop for the building.
The building consists of an 11-story east tower and a 3-story west wing, sitting on top of two basement floors. A central court with gardens, terraces and an auditorium separates these two blocks. The main façade of the tower faces to the east. The north part of the tower is 11-story while the south part of it is 12-story, which makes the building's shape more changeful.
The tall block is built of steel-frame, the short block is reinforced concrete and the basement is steel-frame reinforced concrete.
The modular plan of the interior office space, adopting an office module of 4.5 feet, results in the regular modular grid of the exterior wall. The walls on the long sides of the building enclose the building frame with a continuous curtain wall of beige opaque panels and half-mirror windows in a module of 650mm by 350mm. The opaque panels are made of pre-cast concrete and the windows are made of bronze-tinted reflective glass with anodized aluminium frames. This composition also makes the gridded wall looks like a giant Shoji screen. The short end walls of the building are totally enclosed by beige pre-cast concrete panels in different size from those of the long sides. The opaque panels of the long sides are flat, modular and interchangeable with the operable windows while those of the short end walls are modelled with horizontal ridges and fit between the greyish brown structural elements of the end walls. On the east side of the tall block, a five-bay wide and three-story portico is created by cutting away the curtain wall and exposing the columns and beams of the structural frame.
The approach to the building is led by a series of well-defined exterior and interior spaces. The motor court, which is a roughly circular platform surrounded by a semicircle of trees, is attached with the east side of the building. The platform is on the same level as the second floor. The two of the exterior stairways to the second floor are under the portico and one is along the foundation of the platform. Therefore, the entrance to the main lobby is at the end of the stairways for pedestrians and in front of the motor court under a canopy for those driving a car. The lobby space is formal and symmetrical with a large granite reception desk facing the entrance.
The interior of the three-bay-wide building is composed of a serious of shallow standard offices along double-loaded corridors. Functionalism is emphasized in the interior spaces. American products are used in all things, including partition walls, system ceilings, lighting fixtures and paint. The Japanese garden planted with bamboo in the central court adds a note of lyricism to the generally plain and rigid spaces of the building.
The current building of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo was built with a combination of steel frame, reinforced concrete frame, precast concrete curtain wall panels and bronze-tinted glass windows with anodized aluminum frames. The construction was carried out by Obayashi Corporation, which is one of five major Japanese construction companies along with Shimizu Corporation, Takenaka Corporation, Kajima Corporation and Taisei Corporation. The construction consumed 20,000 tons of concrete, 400 kilometers of electrical and telephone wiring, 13 kilometers of walls and partitions and 40,000 square meters of carpets. All of these materials, except for the concrete, were imported form America. The inadequate capacity of the chilled-water air-conditioning system was a noted problem in the construction. It seemed to be a result of last-minute cost-cutting.
The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo is located in Akasaka Minato-ku. Akasaka is the residential and commercial district of Minato. It is also a place where a lot of antique stores and hotels are located. The Okura Hotel is to the east of the U.S. Embassy, on the other side of a very narrow street. The U.S. Embassy is about one kilometre to the south-west of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, 500 meters to the south of the National Diet Building of Japan and two kilometres to the north of the Roppongi night-life district. In Akasaka, there are Embassies of Canada, Mexico, Spain Cambodia, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and San Marino as well.
The structural frame of the building was built of reinforced concrete and steel frame. Originally, the entire building was designed to be reinforced concrete structure. However, the architects adopted suggestions from Japanese specialists who urged the use of steel frame because of frequent earthquakes in Japan. The special seismic conditions in Japan also mandated that the wall be separate from the structure and supported by it. The Embassy office building was designed to meet the requirements of earthquake codes of both Tokyo and California. To emphasize the function of this building, all construction and decoration materials were American products, except concrete.
The current U.S. Embassy office building is a replacement of the original three-story white Embassy building built in 1931 on the same site. The Japanese army attacked on Pearl Harbour in Hawaii on December 8, 1941. Shortly after the Pearl Harbour attack, the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo remained closed during the Allied occupation when the U.S. was the occupying power in Japan. It reopened on April 28, 1952. The current Embassy building was designed in 1972 and the construction of it was completed in 1976. The new modern building was built not only to provide sufficient space for various embassy services and internal communications, but also as a symbol of continuous, new and friendly relationship between the United States and Japan. After 1952, though Japan was set free from the occupation by the United States, it continued relying on the U.S. to develop its economy. Around 1972, the political situation of the world experienced some changes. Japan had always been America's logistic supply depot during the Vietnam War (1955 – 1975). However, as Japan became the second largest economic power in the world at the end of the 1960s, it began to get rid of America's control and turn into a competitive force against America. Japan and the People's Republic of China established diplomatic relationship on September 29, 1972. Besides, during the 1973 Oil Crisis, Japan sought to disassociate itself from the U.S. policy in the Middle East. Under these circumstances, the U.S. had to maintain Japan's support by diplomacy and building this new Embassy office building might be one of the approaches. At the main entrance, a flowering tree is planted on the platform as a symbol of welcome and friendship.
Enveloped by metal-like concrete wall and operable-window curtain wall, the office building of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo is generally in corporate modernism style, while the design approach for it is less obvious, less clear and less didactic. The building expresses its limited ceremonial purpose very well. The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, along with the Pacific Design Centre in Los Angeles, the San Bernardino City Hall, and the World Financial Centre and Winter Garden at Battery Park, are Cesar Pelli's award-winning projects. Pelli is one of the architects, whose worlds are always open-ended and who believe that new experiences are essential to the continuing evolution of their work. His structures have been praised by Douglas Davis in a 1986 Newsweek article as "lyrical, technically sophisticated buildings that are neither 'modern' nor ' post-modern.' Each attempts to please on many levels at once, captivating clients and public but frustrating critics." Pelli was acclaimed by the American Institute of Architects as one of the ten most influential living American architects in 1991. This building is big, sleek, light and meticulously assembled, just as Cesar Pelli's other buildings. It is also evolved from its client, its place and construction tradition. The State Department of the United States set strict limits on the amount of glass that could be used (the glass surface area should be no more than 50 percent of the wall area) and required the adoption of an office module of 4.5 feet, which resulted in shallow office spaces served by double-loaded corridors. Strict earthquake codes and exceptional local building techniques enabled a bold structure with a high refined skin in which concrete took on the visual lightness of Shoji screen. The building is also less obvious, less clear and less didactic than Pelli's other building. According to Cesar Pelli, "The building expresses its limited ceremonial purpose very well. It is not the Embassy of the United States; that is where the ambassador lives. It is only the Embassy Office Building. The building had to be an American building, but one that would be sympathetic to the country and site where it was built." Besides, a basic consideration in the design is that the building must connect and respect the best aspects of the architectural tradition of the place where it will be built. But Pelli also said that "although the building was designed for Japan, it was not meant to be a Japanese building but an American building representing America on a piece of soil that was technically American. According to an article on New York Times in 1976, "the structure was also an architectural disappointment to many Americans and Japanese. 'I think it looks like a chocolate bar with antennas,' said one American."
The history of the U.S. Embassies in Japan began in 1853 when Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry and his "black ships" arrived in Japan. In 1854, Perry and Japanese shogunate government signed the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the U.S. and Japan (Treaty of Kanagawa).
In 1856, Townsend Harris arrived in Japan as the first U.S. Consul General. He opened a temporary consulate general in Gyokusenji Temple in Kakizaki, Shimoda. He was appointed Minister Resident on January 19, 1859. In July, Harris moved from Shimoda to Edo and opens a legation in Zempukuji Temple in Azabu, which was loaned from the Japanese government. In 1863, Zempukuji Temple was burned down, so the legation was moved to the foreign settlement in Kannai, Yokohama. The U.S. Consulate was also moved to the Yokohama foreign settlement from Hongakuji Temple, Yokohama, in the same year.
In 1868, the Meiji Era began and Edo was renamed as Tokyo after the Meiji Restoration. In 1874, Minister John A. Bingham moved the legation from foreign settlement in Yokohama to the foreign settlement in Tsukiji, Tokyo.
In 1890, the Japanese government and Minister John F. Swift came to an agreement that leasing the buildings and land at the Embassy's current location (Old address: 1 Tameike Enokizaka-cho, Akasaka-ku, Tokyo) to the U.S. government. Therefore, the U.S. Legation was relocated from Tsukiji to Akasaka. In 1906, the American Legation was upgraded to the American Embassy during the term of U.S. Ambassador Luke E. Wright. In 1923, the old wooden buildings used as the American Legation/ Embassy from 1890 were destroyed during the Great Kanto Earthquake and the subsequent fire. In 1931, a new three-story white Embassy building, Ambassador's residence and two adjacent apartments were rebuilt at the same location as the old Embassy buildings.
In time, the operation outgrew the building. In 1972, Cesar Pelli, along with Norma Merrick Sklarek of Gruen Associates, designed a new modern building for the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. In 1973, the Consulate in Yokohama was merged with the U.S. Embassy Consular Section in Tokyo. The old three-story Embassy building and the two employees housing units, which had become unsuitable for the excessive embassy operations, were demolished in May, 1974. The ground-purifying ceremony for the new Embassy building (the current building) was held on July 30, 1974. The construction of the new Embassy building was completed by Obayashi Corporation in August, 1976. The new eleven-story, 245,000-square-foot building, which cost 12,200,000 dollars, was the largest United States Embassy in the world when it was built. On Labor Day (September 6), the new building was opened and the Embassy staff moved into it. On the evening of September 22, a time capsule for the new building was buried during a ceremony. The copper time capsule box, contained Japanese coins, a list of foreign diplomats and newspapers from its time, was originally buried in the ground when the old Embassy was completed in 1931. U.S. bicentennial commemorative coins, Japanese coins, the day's newspapers and other objects were added to the time capsule box to commemorate the new Embassy building. The time capsule was buried under the cornerstone at the base of the American flag at the main entrance to the Embassy. The formal dedication ceremony was held on September 24, 1976. The ceremony was participated by James D. Hodgson, U.S. Ambassador to Japan; U. Alexis Johnson, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan (1966 – 1969); Embassy staff; and a number of guests from the Japanese government, news media and academia.This building is sympathetic to the Japanese architecture character. Impressed by this building, the Daehan Kyoyuk Insurance Company's executives asked for a very similar building in Seoul, and received one.
Although the building was criticized for its simplicity, it is a symbolic expression of America in Tokyo, designed under limitations set by State Department and earthquake safety codes of both Tokyo and California. Pelli's approach to design also involved do-ability. The straightforward and simple design avoided struggling during construction and resulted in an economical building. While trying to integrate Japanese architecture features into the building and infuse the building into local environment, the building was still designed to stand as an impressive American representative in Tokyo.

UM Financial was one of the first companies in Canada to offer so-called Islamic financing to Muslims who believe that sharia, or Islamic law, prohibitions against usury include interest on things such as mortgages.
UM would buy a property then lease it to a client so they were paying rent instead of interest. Some homeowners complained that the firm would also charge extra fees.
The company had $50 million in financial backing from Central 1 Credit Union of which almost $29 million is outstanding.
Qayum Mian knew he was paying a premium on his Markham house for the seven years he used UM Financial — he estimated up to 2 percentage points more than if he'd gone through a bank — but was happy to pay the price "because my conscience was satisfied."

Debbie Croft: 'Firefall' workshop available
There's plenty of winter fun under the sun and in the snow in Sierra foothills communities. Now is the time to plan ahead for participating in one or more of the following events:
• Wintertime wonders of Yosemite National Park make for great photography. One natural phenomenon occurs every year in late February at sunset. For a few days Horsetail Fall is lit by the setting sun, when weather and precipitation conditions are just right. The stream of water appears to be illuminated as it pours down the granite on the east side of El Capitan. The water transforms into a ribbon of orange or gold light, earning the nickname "firefall."
John Senser, a professional photographer with the Yosemite Conservancy, will lead a photography workshop from Feb. 27 through March 3. Nature's golden firefall and winter's landscape will be the subjects of the weekend sessions. Photographers of every level will benefit, and both digital and film formats are allowed.
The workshop package price includes camping, but may be upgraded to hotel lodging after registration is complete. Go to www.yosemiteconservancy.org or call (209) 379-2317, ext. 10, for more information.
• Snowshoeing in Yosemite is an exhilarating way to experience wilderness beauty. The Yosemite Conservancy is planning snowshoe excursions on two Saturdays: March 8 and March 22. An experienced nature guide will lead the group from Badger Pass to Dewey Point for lunch, then back again. It's a 7-mile trek with a challenge level of moderate.
From Dewey Point the breathtaking view encompasses Ribbon Fall, Leaning Tower, El Capitan and Yosemite Valley.
The weekend package includes camping, park entry and snowshoe rental. Details are available at www.yosemiteconservancy.org or by calling (209) 379-2317, ext. 10.
• The 65th annual Hornitos Enchilada Dinner will be held in the historic Gold Rush town on Saturday, March 1. Every year, rain or shine, a crowd of several hundred gathers to wait in line for the event.
This year's efforts are dedicated to the women, past and present, as well as families, community members and friends responsible for the dinner's continued success.
In addition to the meal, arts and crafts vendors will display their wares at the park. Live music and entertainment will be provided by Hacienda Valencia, with dancing horses and Sol del Valle's traditional dancing girls. Country music will be performed by Sandy Smith.
Dinner will be served in the Golden Stag Hall, and is also available for takeout. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children. Sponsored by the Patrons Club, the proceeds are used for community restoration projects, student scholarships and more. Call Mary Ann Vischer at (209) 376-2320 for details.
• Developing future scientists and leaders is the goal of the NatureBridge teen summer program. Students are immersed in the Sierra Nevada backcountry for two weeks of field-based research. The skills learned outdoors can then be applied to their future education and occupations.
Becky Zentmyer, course director, says, "The course is student-centered, inquiry-based learning at its most adventurous."
Three sessions at Yosemite and one at Olympic National Park in Washington state are open for enrollment. To learn more, go to www.naturebridge.org/summerfieldresearch. Any questions? Call (209) 379-9511, ext. 19, for Yosemite sessions or (206) 382-6212, ext. 13, for the Olympic session.
• Sonora's Celtic Faire takes place the weekend of March 7-9 at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds. A special family/education day will be held Friday, March 7. Group rates are available, and the Friday event is alcohol-free.
Traditional music and entertainment includes fire juggling, Scottish bagpipes, Scottish and Irish dancers, battles, jousting and costumed re-enactors. Food, beverage and related vendors will also be on site. Celtic bands from around the world are on the program, including Golden Bough, Tempest, Celtica, Black Irish Band and more.
Details about this event can be found at www.sonoracelticfaire.com.
• C.B. Mosher traveled the world and settled in California to write about his adventures. During a short-story writing workshop, Mosher will coach writers on turning their experiences into tales worth reading.
For six weeks writers of all skill levels will receive the instruction, critiquing and guidance necessary for getting published.
The work of some past participants is now in print.
This workshop is sponsored by the Mariposa County Arts CouncilThe first class will be held Wednesday, March 12, from 6-9 p.m. in MCAC's Treetop Gallery. Registration is $50 and must be submitted by March 6. Go to www.mariposaartscouncil.org or call (209) 966-3155 for more information.

Maybe one day
I missed this Harvey... probably as I posted my new C30 in Car Chat (oups)...
Love the colour on your D3, I thought it was only for Polestar, really suits it! Envious on your economy too haha.
I was actually pleasantly surprised how well they drive, read plenty of motoring reviews that said they were a blunt tool, but I've driven plenty of alternatives and these seem harsh, maybe there were a host of decent handling related changes on the final revision?
Just be wary of the dreaded DPF and DPF sensors.

What could�ve been a disaster has turned into an asset for East Carolina this season.
And nobody�s talking about it for that very reason.
GREENVILLE � What could�ve been a disaster has turned into an asset for East Carolina this season.
And nobody�s talking about it for that very reason.
The Pirates� kicking game, ravaged by graduation and rife with new, unproven faces, has acquitted itself quite admirably in 2012.
ECU has scored 34 of the 38 times it has entered the red zone, a success rate of 89.5 percent owed largely to the reliable leg of sophomore kicker Warren Harvey.
Trent Tignor, the Pirates� soft-spoken junior punter, has averaged 42.2 yards per kick and has trapped opponents inside their 20-yard line 10 times.
And despite having new deep snappers in Charlie Coggins and C.J. Struyk on the punt and field goal teams, respectively, both units have operated without a hitch.
Like umpires and airline pilots, it�s the kind of thing that goes unnoticed until something goes wrong.
�I�ve been so pleased with the specialists,� said third-year head coach Ruffin McNeill, smiling as he credited his staff of special teams coaches.
Kicker Michael Barbour, punter Ben Ryan and deep snapper Will Smith were all lost to graduation, breeding an audition-filled preseason environment reminiscent of �American Idol.�
Only Tignor, who is in his third year as the team�s holder, offered any continuity.
Harvey, a Greenville native, won the job after a battle with true freshman Connor Torruella that spanned the spring and fall. Since then, Harvey has been successful on all 34 PATs and converted 12 of 17 field goal tries, including 10 of his last 11 after a 2-for-6 start to his career.
A former four-sport star at Greenville Rose High School, Harvey is starting to blossom in the role of one-sport specialist. He�ll hope to continue when the Pirates visit Tulane on Saturday.
�It�s a never-ending process of getting more comfortable with the whole situation,� Harvey said.
�I always feel like there�s room for improvement. I always try and come out and get better each day.�
The question
Harvey made a career-long 54-yard field goal at Southern Miss on Sept. 15. Who kicked the longest field goal in ECU history?
And better things
Zeek Bigger is making a name for himself as he bides his time.
A highly coveted linebacker out of Ashbrook High School in Gastonia, the redshirt freshman with the distinctively football-friendly name leads the Pirates with 12 special teams tackles, including three during a 48-28 win over Houston that preceded last week�s open date.
Although he hasn�t played a down on defense yet, the 6-foot-2-inch, 216-pound Bigger has been cited frequently over stadium PA systems as a member of the punt, kickoff and kickoff return units.
McNeill smiled again when asked about Bigger�s contributions.
�Aw, Zeek has been special,� the coach said. �He�s been a guy who, when we signed him, we knew he would be a guy who could make plays for us at linebacker, and he will do that. He�s learning from a good group in front of him.�
Bigger was recruited by the likes of Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Oregon and Virginia. He had committed to Duke before a visit to ECU�s campus changed his mind.
�I just felt like this was home,� he said. �I just felt like the whole atmosphere and the crowd and the team and the conference wins and things like that, I wanted to be a part of.�
On this date
ECU, then known as East Carolina Teachers College, played to a soccer-like 0-0 tie with William & Mary on Nov. 16, 1934.
A good week
Defensive coordinator Brian Mitchell said he planned to use the open date to improve �position mastery.�
The mission was apparently accomplished.
�I thought it went very well,� Mitchell said. �I thought our kids were in tune.�
The Pirates allowed a season-high 563 total yards to Navy�s triple-option offense in a 56-28 loss on Oct. 27 but rebounded the following week against Houston, holding the Cougars to 28 rushing yards.
The open date allowed for further tweaking.
�We were able to hone in on some things schematically � some things from a position standpoint � that I think will add to what we want to do this game,� Mitchell said.
The answer
Barbour tied Jeff Heath�s 1982 mark with a 58-yarder at Marshall on Nov. 26 of last season.
