My Greek Odyssey tag:typepad.com,2003:weblog-351464 2014-07-08T18:49:07-04:00 Someone once told me that I reminded them of a modern day Odysseus, struggling mightily to find Ithaka, his ancestral homeland.

The actor who played the father in the series smoked a pipe, wore a smoking jacket, and spoke flawless English. He had a study where he sat in a big leather chair and solved everyone's problems with unparalleled wisdom. Let's just say my Greek father did not fit this particular mold. My dad spoke English with a heavy accent. He never smoked, he didn't own a smoking jacket or a leather chair, and his study consisted of the kitchen table. Dad owned tons of books, all in Greek: Euripides, Plato, Homer, Herodotus, the Church Fathers, and on and on. He read the Greek newspaper, carrying it home every night folded in his jacket pocket. He would cut out articles he liked for future reference. Dad had a rule: speak Greek. I had no idea, though, how he was ever going to improve his English so I wouldn't be embarrassed at parent-teacher meetings. If that wasn't bad enough, I had to go along to translate. Sometimes he didn't need translation, as in the case of one particular grade-school teacher who...

Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by That here, obedient to their laws, we lie. Last weekend my son, Chris and I, planted American flags next to the gravestones of our veterans buried in the Greek Orthodox cemetery in Biddeford, Maine. This labor of love is a token of remembrance and respect. Many of those lucky veterans like myself made it back in one piece, others returned with broken minds or bodies to rebuild their lives as best they could. Memorial Day however is not about veterans, or sales or ball games or barbacues. It recognizes those that made the ultimate scarifice. Like the Spartans at Thermopylae, they answered the call and like them paid a heavy price on behalf of their fellow citizens. For many Americans, these men are nameless and unknown. We go about our daily lives fairly oblivious to what they endured in the hellish places we sent them to. Places that the average American can neither name or find on a map. As a Marine, I still see their bright young faces so full of life and dreams, faces that span a twenty two year career during war and a turbulent peace. As a father, I can only think about the inconsolable grief of parents for the many sons lost in the prime of their life. I remember the palpable gut-wrenching fear one feels in combat and the struggle to overcome that fear. To do...

They were descendants of Ionian Greeks who settled there, beginning in 800 B.C. Like other Christians in Turkey, the Armenians and Assyrians for example, the Pontic Greeks faced persecution and suffered during ethnic cleansing at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1923, after thousands of years, those remaining were expelled from Turkey to Greece as part of the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey under Treaty of Lausanne. May 19 has been recognized by the Greek parliament as the day of remembrance of the Pontian Greek Genocide by the Turks. There are various estimates of the toll. Records kept mainly by priests show a minimum 350,000 Pontian Greeks exterminated through systematic slaughter by Turkish troops and Kurdish irregulars. Other estimates, including those of foreign missionaries, spoke of 500,000 deaths, most through deportation and forced marches into the Anatolian desert interior. Thriving Greek cities like Bafra, Samsous, Kerasous, and Trapezous, at the heart of Pontian Hellenism on the coast of the Black Sea, endured recurring massacres and deportations that eventually destroyed their Greek population. The genocide started with the order in 1914 for all Pontian men between the ages of 18 and 50 to report for military duty. Those who "refused" or "failed" to appear, the order provided, were to be summarily shot. The immediate result of this decree was the murder of thousands...

It is one of many stories that you can find in my book, Ithaka on the Horizon: A Greek-American Journey, available on Amazon here. Happy Mother's Day Six years have passed since the death of my mother, and she is still a constant presence in my life. I used to think that she was always going to be with us and had convinced myself that eventually we would be in the nursing home together. Mama would still be making sure I was blowing my nose and wearing a warm sweater or cautioning me to slow down in my wheelchair. Greek sons have a special indestructible bond with their mothers, and Greek mothers take special pride in their sons. Greek mothers seem to have a particularly strong affinity for the top mom, the Panagia (Virgin Mary), so they spend a lot of time praying to her to put in a good word for their son with her Son. In Greek society, mothers of sons receive a certain amount of respect and deference. There is probably not much that they wouldn't do for their sons, and their love is unconditional. Mama and I got off to a shaky start when I was born. After a very difficult labor, she was presented with a tiny red baby with a funny-shaped head, prune-faced and screeching and not very happy about being dragged kicking and screaming into a...

He joined thousands of Greeks lured to the Rockies by the promise of earning more money than they ever dreamed of at home. By one estimate about 40,000 Greeks worked in the mines, mills and on the railroads of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico before World War I . Coming to America was a culture shock for these unmarried young men and the Greek kafenions or coffee houses were an oasis. Tikas, who learned English, ran a kafenion and he helped fellow immigrants with complicated English documents and sending money home. Greeks were used as strikebreakers since they had no tradition of unions back home, however, soon they started to join the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) union in droves. The struggle between labor and the "robber barons" who ran American industry began with the railroad strike of 1877, the first strike in American history when American troops fired on American working men. For decades thereafter, a war was waged for America's soul and the story of Louis Tikas would become only the latest manifestation of that conflict. Tikas became an organizer for the United Mine Workers and eventually lead a walkout of 63 Greek minors at a Frederick Colorado Mine. He was eventually chased by the hired detectives of the company who shot and wounded him as he escaped through the back door of a boarding house. Many of the miners with families...

Just days after their liberation by the US military on April 29, 1945, hundreds of Orthodox Christian prisoners at the Dachau concentration camp gathered to celebrate the Resurrection service and to give thanks. The Dachau concentration camp was opened in 1933 in a former gunpowder factory. The first prisoners interred there were political opponents of Adolf Hitler, who had become German chancellor that same year. During the twelve years of the camp's existence, over 200,000 prisoners were brought there. The majority of prisoners at Dachau were Christians, including Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox clergy and lay people. Countless prisoners died at Dachau, and hundreds were forced to participate in the cruel medical experiments conducted by Dr. Sigmund Rascher. When prisoners arrived at the camp they were beaten, insulted, shorn of their hair, and had all their belongings taken from them. The SS guards could kill whenever they thought it was appropriate. Punishments included being hung on hooks for hours, high enough that heels did not touch the ground; being stretched on trestles; being whipped with soaked leather whips; and being placed in solitary confinement for days on end in rooms too small to lie down in. The abuse of the prisoners reached its end in the spring of 1945. The events of that Holy Week were later recorded by one of the prisoners, Gleb Rahr. Rahr grew up in Latvia and...

He wrote about his forty day sojurn on the Holy Mount in his book, "Report to Greco." The following excerpt describes his meeting with the ascetic elder, Makarios. My sight finally became accustomed to the darkness and as I peered inward with protruding eyeballs, I saw a gentle phosphorescence---a pale face and two emaciated arms---stir in the depths of the cave and I heard a sweet gasping voice. "Welcome!" Working up the courage, I entered the cave and proceeded toward the voice. The ascetic was curled on the ground. He had raised his head, and I was able in the half light to make out his face as it gleamed in the depths of unutterable beatitude---hairless, with sunken eye sockets, gnawed away by vigils and hunger. All his hair had fallen out and his head shown like a skull. "Bless me father," I said, bowing to kiss his hand. For a long time neither of us spoke. I kept looking greedily at this soul which had obliterated his body, for this was what weighed down its wings and prevented it fron mounting to Heaven. The soul that believes is a merciless man-eating beast. It had devoured him, flesh, eyes, hair---all. I did not know where to begin. The ramshackle body before me seemed like a battledfield following a terrible massacre; upon it I discerned the tempter's scratches and bites. Finally I gathered up...

Parents and relatives watch proudly as young children, dressed in traditional costumes, present their poems and renditions of patriotic songs on this important Greek holiday. Greek Independence Day was always exciting for me. It was a big deal. Especially the thought of marching in the parade down Fifth Avenue. Since those days I have had some time to ponder the true meaning of Greek Independence. The history of the struggle against the Ottoman Empire is replete with tales of daring and bravery, unfortunately, it is also a litany of man's inhumanity to man. Struggles of this type, against a determined and fanatical enemy, are never high-browed affairs as many Philhellenes like Lord Byron found out. The uprising in 1821 was a no holds barred war of attrition that can only be characterized as a fight to the finish. No quarter asked and none given. After all, the Greek subjects of the Ottoman Empire were nothing more than slaves. Slaves either submitted to the will of the Sultan or were to be made an example of and easily expendable. As happens in the writing of history, national mythologies have been developed around the events of those years. The winners and losers in any armed conflict often see things differently. The question every Greek must now ask, no matter where they may find themselves today, almost two centuries later, is whether the Greek world actually...

Many people even question its relevance or think it's old fashioned, a relic that should be discarded. You see society has taught us that it's all about the person staring back at you in the mirror. The goal of life is getting your needs met. There are so many. The need to be loved and pampered by the man or woman of our dreams is right up there with that new car, the career, a nice home and all the other indispensable stuff we can't live without. If our dream mate doesn't work out then we can throw them away as needed to make room for the next lucky guy or gal. The right one is out there somehwere and you will live happily ever after. Isn't that what happens in the movies? Marriage and all the icky things like children that come with it is merely an imposition on our time, not to mention a distraction from the really important things in life. Then there are those pesky vows. Who's really in charge anyway in this relationship? And what do you mean for richer or poorer until death do us part?? Thank God for weddings.

Frequently asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my business is covered by the ordinance?
This ordinance applies to businesses that contract for 16 cubic yards or greater of municipal solid waste collection service per week. All businesses which meet this criteria shall keep corrugated cardboard and office paper separate from all other municipal solid waste for the purpose of participation in a recycling program and shall provide for the collection of these materials.
To determine if your business contracts for this level of service, first look at your invoice for garbage collection service. These invoices often specify the container size and frequency of collection. If you cannot find this information on your invoice, contact your waste hauler and ask them for the size of container you are using and the frequency of collection. An 8 cubic yard container picked-up twice a week qualifies your business for participation in the mandatory program.
Are there any exemptions to the ordinance?
If you discover that you do contract for 16 cubic yards of municipal solid waste collection service per week, you still may be exempted from the requirements of this ordinance. The following exemptions may apply to your business.
Automatic Minimum Weight Exemption:
Businesses which generate less than 500 pounds of corrugated cardboard per month will be exempt from separating corrugated cardboard from their solid waste.
Businesses which generate less than 500 pounds of office paper per month will be exempt from separating office paper from their solid waste.
Note: If a business claims an automatic minimum weight exemption, the County may request that the business provide adequate documentation to allow the County to verify such claim. This documentation must be submitted within 30 days of request.
Automatic Temporary Service Location Exemption:
Source separation is not required if doing business from a temporary location (e.g., street vendor, construction site, outdoor festival)
Exemptions Upon Application:
Businesses may apply for an exemption if physical constraints preclude compliance with the ordinance. These will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Businesses may be exempted if compliance with the ordinance would require them to violate other codes or regulations such as the Zoning Ordinance.
We hope that you will recycle as much as you can, regardless of whether or not you are exempt from the ordinance.
What if my business is in Mint Hill. Am I still covered by this ordinance?
Yes, this is a Mecklenburg County Ordinance that includes the City of Charlotte, Mint Hill, Huntersville, Davidson, Cornelius and Pineville.
What items do I have to keep out of my garbage?
Office Paper and Corrugated Cardboard.
Q. Does the County come and haul away my paper and cardboard?
A. No. You have two options. You can contract with a private hauler or recycler, or you can deliver materials to any of the County's drop-off collection centers (see the
map of locations
). For a limited time, some businesses may have a third option. Mecklenburg County is asking businesses to sponsor County operated paper-recycling containers at their business location (
go here to find out more
Why is it necessary to separate paper and cardboard, why can't it just go into the landfill?
It took 15 years and millions of dollars to get a permit for Mecklenburg County's Foxhole Landfill on Highway 521 near the Lancaster County Line. Most experts feel that this will be the last landfill ever permitted in Mecklenburg County. The more material we can keep out of the Foxhole, the longer we can extend the life of our landfill. In addition, recycling paper saves precious natural resources. Every ton of paper recycled:
Keeps seventeen trees growing and providing oxygen to the earth.
Conserves enough electricity to power two apartments for one year.
Conserves enough drinking water for thirty people for one year.
Last year, your County government alone recycled 37,708 tons (this does not include the large amount also recycled by the private sector).
Isn't this going to increase my cost of doing business?
There are nearly 100 Mecklenburg County companies that have started recycling programs under the County Voluntary Business Recognition Program. Some of those businesses have found markets for their recyclables and are making money. Other businesses have been able to reduce their trash collection cost, making their recycling program cost-neutral. Recycling may also provide your business a marketing advantage by appealing to customers who prefer to do business with environmentally responsible companies.
I don't have a clue how to get this started. What do I do?
Mecklenburg County Solid Waste Management has plenty of tools to help you including a website full of helpful information, free videos for you and your staff to watch, free seminars for your key personnel to attend and brochures that deal directly with the most common types of businesses.
What happens if I don't comply?
The County will provide the business with three notices before penalties will be assessed. Each notice will be accompanied by an offer for technical assistance. A civil penalty will be assessed if a business fails to comply with the ordinance within thirty days of receiving a third notice of violation. The total civil penalty assessed within a 12-month period will not exceed $2,500.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The Precocious Penguin Save the Dates (in black) were a big hit with our guests and a fun and whimsical way to share our happy wedding date news! Would be fun for wedding paper divas to expand the Precious Penguins pattern to other card/invitation types (i.e. thank yous, rehearsal dinner/shower invites, etc.)"
"This postcard is exactly as described. Perfect design & layout, works perfectly for my railroad venue. It covers the basics and it includes important info (date & location)on the front. the pictures printed beautifully! Super speedy shipping. The only thing i would add (if i could go back in time..) would be a return address on the backside of the postcard, so you guests have a way to reply if they wish."
"We ordered these save the dates and they were perfect. The customer service kept in touch with us sending proofs and made changes we asked for promptly. When they arrived they were even better than pictured. Also, our designer sent a personal note to us after and that was an awesome touch!"
"I was able to personalize the product so easy! My pictures were not of great quality because I used two from my phone but they came out gorgeous!! The paper was perfect! Everyone one of my guests said that it was different and unique and loved the rustic homey feel! My aunt actually wants to buy a set for her daughters wedding! I would high recommend this item!!!!! The designer was great to deal with! Answered me back right away with changes!!"
"I loved this product. The colors were accurately represented and the quality of the post cards were wonderful! My favorite part of this experience was receiving a hand written thank you note for my purchase=)"

Earlier this month, NBC announced Eminem would be the musical guest this weekend on Saturday Night Live . Now, Slim Shady stars alongside host Kerry Washington in the official promos for Saturday's episode, but he doesn't look too thrilled to be there.
The Detroit rapper remains stone-faced while Washington expresses her excitement to be on the show. It isn't until the actress mentions plans to get dessert afterward that Em perks up slightly, and then nonchalantly says, "I love cupcakes."
For Em, this will mark his sixth performance on the show following his showcases
in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, and most recently in 2010, alongside
Lil Wayne
The appearance will help promote the "Rap God" emcee's upcoming album,
The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
The disc, which includes the
Rick Rubin
-produced single "Berzerk," hits shelves on Tuesday, November 5.
In other news, Eminem graces the cover of Billboard Magazine's upcoming issue, arriving on newsstands November 9.

Quantrix in Corporate Budgeting
Spreadsheets are what most organizations rely upon for their enterprise budgeting needs. Companies often have initial success using spreadsheets in budgeting as it is easy to get started, the application is on everyone's desktop, and it has a wide acceptance with non-financial personnel involved in the budgeting process. However, using spreadsheets for complex budgeting tasks creates problems later on. Extending or adapting spreadsheet planning models to reflect changing business conditions can be painful in a two-dimensional grid. To support operations spread across many divisions, or to understand the spreadsheet model after an analyst has left the company, are just some of the problems that can be encountered when using spreadsheets in a complex forecasting environment. A technology tool should allow the budgeting process to work seamlessly and efficiently. Like a spreadsheet, this tool should be lightweight, easy to deploy and maintain, but also very powerful in its capabilities. Quantrix is such a technology tool.
This set of budgeting models shows a simplified example of a multi-division forecasting model in Quantrix. There is a 'Master Consolidated Model' that contains all the divisions' actual information. (Actuals may be populated through DataLink - see DataLink Modeler Note: Using a Database to Perform a Sales Analysis). There are also three separate models for division A, B and C. The division managers would use these models to pull in the actual data from the master model and to enter their forecast data. This forecast information is then pulled back into the Master Consolidated Model. All of this is accomplished through inter-model formulas. The following formula was taken from the Master Consolidated model.
Forecast= !Division-AFinancials.model!Financials::Forecast skip Gross Profit,Net Income
The file location and name of the model is contained within the exclamation points. In this case, the Forecast item in the Master model is populated by the forecast data in the Division-A model. New data can be easily updated by choosing 'Tools > Calculation > Update Links' from the Quantrix menu. A similar set of inter-model formulas can be found in each Division matrix that pulls the actual data from the Master Consolidated Model. Adding or subtracting divisions is easy and quick with Quantrix, as it is just a matter of adding or deleting a division matrix in the master file and adding or removing the division model associated with it. Edit a couple of formulas and you are done! Quantrix models are inherently self-documenting in that they use plain English-language formulas, which are few in number and easy to understand. This allows other users to quickly get up to speed and see how the model works. To read about a real-world implementation of Quantrix utilized in a multiple division forecasting environment, please read the Cimpor success story.
New with Quantrix 3, you can create a report of the data in the consolidation model that is clear and professional to present to management as demonstrated in this screen shot:

André S. Labarthe in person for select screenings on 10/3 and 10/4! In 1964, film critic and filmmaker André S. Labarthe, together with Janine Bazin, widow of influential film theorist André Bazin, approached the French television channel ORTF about starting a program that would resemble the long, in-depth interviews with film directors that magazines such as Cahiers du cinéma and Positif regularly published. The films made for both Cinéastes and Cinéma, de notre temps together form an invaluable history of the cinema, full of insights into the work of individual filmmakers as well as a sense of the shifts in taste and ideas about cinema.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- Three members of the 1999 Gonzaga men's basketball team, which went to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament, are taking on a different role these days.
Mike Nilson, Matt Santangelo, and Ryan Floyd are swapping seats on the bench from being players to coaches. In one more odd twist, all three have sons on the team they coach as a group called Team Batman. All the players are between the ages of five and six.
"We're just normal dads and they're just normal kids out there having fun," said Nilson. "I've always wanted Carter to be coached by great men, and these two guys are the best."
"To say that there is a Floyd, a Nilson, and a Santangelo playing again is pretty sweet, I love it," said Santangelo.
The junior basketball league is all in fun, and they don't keep score.

An off-duty university police officer shot a 15-year-old boy who tried to rob him under the guise of meeting to sell an iPhone on Monday in the South Side Calumet Heights neighborhood.
The 36-year-old Chicago State University officer was off-duty when he and a 16-year-old boy met the suspects to buy an iPhone advertised through social media at 4:55 p.m. in the 2200 block of East 87th Street, according to police.
The off-duty officer and teen were sitting in a vehicle when two boys, ages 15 and 17, displayed a handgun, announced a robbery and took a cell phone and cash, police said. The officer announced his office and fired one shot at the boy. Both boys fled on foot and the victims called police.
Officers found Kurtis Flowers, 17, attempting to hide in a front porch in the 8700 block of South Crandon Avenue, police said. The 15-year-old was taken into custody after he walked into Advocate Trinity Hospital, where he was treated and released.
The proceeds for the robbery were recovered, police said.
Kurtis Flowers, 17, of the 8900 block of South Essex Avenue, and the 15-year-old boy were charged with felony armed robbery with a firearm, police said.
Flowers is expected in bond court Tuesday. The boy was referred to juvenile court.

Yesterday marked Argyle's 2nd birthday and before our celebration, I asked our Founders, Adam and Eric, to reflect on the past year.
Eric: There are a thousand differences. The contrast between our 1st and 2nd birthday reflects a few of them:
Our 1st birthday was full of uncertainty. We had raised a $325k seed round a couple months prior and Mike and Josh just joined the team. We were in the midst of a massive product cycle and we weren't sure if we'd be able pull it off. We had very few customers and we were very worried about our ability to deliver on the pitch we made to our investors. Everyone was stressed to the breaking point, so our 1st birthday party kinda sucked.
Our 2nd birthday is much less stressful! We've got a great product, hundreds of happy customers, an amazing team, and plenty of cash in the bank. I'm still stressed to the breaking point, but I'll probably manage to have a good time tonight!
Adam: Yeah, we're definitely more focused and that's a huge win. Focus lets us work harder, faster, and smarter and cut out a lot of extra crap that we just don't need.
Eric: Recruiting and it isn't event close. We've grown our team from 4 full-time in Dec 2010 to 20 full-time in Dec 2011. There is no way we would have gotten as far as we have – and certainly no way we'll get where we're going – without the efforts of our passionate, productive team. I'm inspired every day by the talented people that I get to work with.
Adam: It's not easy to grow a team and especially not as quickly as we have. Having the right people on the team is crucial to us moving forward.
Eric: We'll be in Downtown Durham executing our purpose: building powerful, beautiful products that empower online marketers to drive meaningful outcomes for their organizations. But we'll be doing it bigger, faster, stronger, etc.
Adam: Hopefully, we're still kicking ass and taking names!
Eric: Absolutely, and we will also drive to work in flying cars and eat entire meals in pill form.
Adam: There have been a lot of surprises, so it's hard to say which has been the biggest. It's probably how big we've become in the market. We actually have a pretty strong presence and it can be a bit surprising considering how young and small we are. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise considering the energy, excitement, and intelligence that we have in here.
Eric: For me, it's how quickly it happened. Seems like yesterday that Adam and I were arguing with Josh about whether we should have a vertical or horizontal navigation. (Josh finally won the argument by slapping the table and shouting "NO!".) Turns out that the old parenting yarn is true – the days are long and the years are short.
Adam: Since we are both new fathers I would tell us to get as much sleep as we can but also to relax a bit and enjoy the ride more.
Eric: "Ignore the crap. Get close to the customer and build the product that solves their problems." Also, I would tell myself last year, "Don't schedule the Christmas party in the midst of a massive product cycle."
The Best
Adam: Best part is piecing together a phenomenal team watching them grow far beyond what you asked them to do what you thought they could do.
Eric: The team! The team! The team!
The Worst
Adam: The worst part is probably the lack of sleep and worry about whether your choices have been the smartest and best for the company & team.
Eric: The hair loss.

'American Idols' Take On Sinatra
momlogic's Vivian: The remaining five "Idols" took on the work of Ol' Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra last night, with Harry Connick, Jr. as very involved mentor. However, Sinatra's work proved to be quite the challenge for some unsuspecting contestants.
Connick -- who described the iconic Sinatra's legacy as "great, great songs that can be interpreted in a myriad of ways" -- went way beyond the call of his mentoring duty, working hard on the arrangements and orchestrations of each contestant's song and doling out the requisite constructive criticism. "I should be out laying by the pool," he joked. "You think Shania Twain was up in here doing this?"
Frank's daughters, Nancy and Tina, were in the audience to present a gift that visibly touched Simon: a monogrammed hanky with Sinatra's initials.
Back to the nitty grit: Aaron hit the stage first, crooning "Fly Me to the Moon." His voice seemed a little thin at first, but he certainly looked his dapper best -- and received mild, positive reviews. Randy said he did "a really good job." Kara thought he was good but not as strong as last week, because he lacked charisma. Simon sided with Kara, saying, "Frank had a swagger. If he was a lion, you were a mouse. But you do try hard, and I'm going to give you that."
Casey then took on "Blue Skies," his hair slicked back in his best Mr. Sensitive Ponytail-Man look, but seemed visibly uncomfortable without his guitar strapped to his chest. Randy called it his worst performance. Kara said he "sounded like a lamb" and "needed to work on his vibrato." Yikes. Not good.
"MamaSox" Crystal did a tepid rendition of "Summer Wind" -- which also met with tepid reviews. She certainly looked lovely in a black strapless lace gown that showed off her full back tat, her hair swept in a glam updo. The band overpowered her until the bridge, when she started to throw down a few of her more expressive notes. Randy called it "one of her more subdued performances" and said "it was a little sleepy" for him. Ellen said that at first, it felt like Crystal was swallowing every word, and that she wanted her to loosen up a little more. Kara said Crystal was out of her element, but she "kind of liked it." Simon said frankly, "I love the song ... I don't know if I would have chosen it for you, though, because it felt a little bit indulgent. The first half was too jazzy for me, too small-nightclub. The second half obviously got a lot better. But I'm not going to lie and say that this is one of your strongest performances .... You've had two OK weeks. I think if you survive next week ... now it's about being in it to win it. It's about using this opportunity to nail it week after week after week. I expect better."
"I always try to do what I feel is best for the song," Crystal countered. "To me, it's a sweet love story, and you wouldn't sing it really big like that. If you're singing softly to your lover, you would sing it sweetly. And the song gets bigger as it goes on. I just don't feel like I should just sing really big notes because I'm on 'American Idol.' It should be about the music."
Simon replied, "I was just saying that, for you as an artist, you have one opportunity each week to absolutely present you in the best possible way. And I'm giving you this advice to help you, honestly."
So we'll have to see what happens there!
Meanwhile, Big Mike WAS in his element. His version of "The Way You Look Tonight" was flawless, emotional R&B, and the audience responded in kind. Randy called it an "unbelievable arrangement, unbelievable vocal," and said, "Mike is in it to win it -- this is what I'm saying!" Ellen said that out of everyone, he seemed to have the most comfort on stage and was able to "move easier than everybody else." Kara said that he took us on a journey and lost himself in the song. Simon said, "The first three performances have been OK, but with you ... you put it back in the game." Eyes on Mike!
Finally, affable Lee took on "That's Life." He sounded fantastic, and he was far more confident than usual. Randy admired how he "stayed his rocker self," Ellen said, "If this was the last night of performances, you would've just won this whole thing." Kara said she thought he could win this thing, and Simon called Lee's song "by far the best performance of the night so far."
So: The night's shining stars were Lee and Mike, MamaSox was fair to middling and Casey seems like he's on the chopping block. Who'll stay? Who'll go?

Saint Charles Town Center 9
11115 Mall Circle,
1 person favorited this theater
The Saint Charles Town Center 9 opened in the early-1990's under the Cineplex Odeon banner. Although the complex was considered state of the art during its initial years of operation it lost this distinction a few years later when the next generation of cinema showplaces appeared featuring stadium style seating. It is still a good venue for first run fare.
Recent comments (view all 4 comments)
Most uncomfortable seats in the history of movie theatres. I saw "Step Brothers" here.
This was originally a Cineplex Odeon location that was part of the merger with Loews, then became AMC when AMC acquired Loews in 2006. This theatre was scheduled for a renovation to stadium seating and an expansion of three screens prior to the AMC acquisition but Loews never followed through with it. The design is pretty much a nightmare in terms of operating it. There are two concession stands across from each other in the lobby, and the entrance at the front is too small. The largest auditoriums are at the front of the building and there isn't anywhere for people to wait to go into the next show without blocking the concession stands. Also the theatre is designed with the nine auditoriums around the perimeter of the building. This theatre does a solid business but because of it's age many in the area choose to travel to other places outside of Waldorf to see movies.
AMC recently announced a $4.5 million renovation to include upgraded reclining seats (like the AMC Lakewood 12 or AMC Vestal 9), along with upgrades to the bathrooms, concession area, lobby, and box office areas.
Renovations here are complete and quite impressive. It may stall plans for a Bow Tie Cinemas megaplex in Brandywine.
Someone deleted my comment once again from this theater!! I saw Star Wars: The Phantom Menace here back in '99 in the theater that had DTS, which was probably the larger of the ones since I am sure Lucasfilm demanded the best for its first run release. It didn't have the then updated Dolby EX system. Nothing memorable here. The presentation at the Senator, in Dolby EX, and the Uptown, DTS and its huge screen were better experiences.
As far as Bow Tie opening a theater, I believe they have cancelled plans. Their website no longer has the Brandywine Crossing location as a future theater. I had spoken with a CR rep, back in February, about my frequent moviegoer point error and asked about the opening. She said they are no longer interested in the once Kerasotes (now bought by AMC) site.

Rate Dr. Louise Fetaz
Dr. Louise Fetaz's Ratings
I saw this doctor while my usual doctor was on leave. I found her to be very pleasant and thorough. I never felt rushed and spent at least 20 minutes covering several medical issues, some of them raised by her as she reviewed my chart and checked that all of my screening tests were up to date. Would highly recommend her.

This office sent a test I had recently done to the lab with no label. I had a feeling something was not right, so I went to a different doctor to get the test repeated. The new doctor informed me that my test was unlabelled by Dr. Fetaz's clinic and that the lab did not even look at the sample and sent it back. I was never informed of this. When I called to complain, Dr. Fetaz's office told me they just received the unlabelled test back this week, which I don't believe. Also, the new doctor I went to today asked questions, did a physical exam, and is ordering more tests to be done that Dr. Fetaz has never cared to look into before. I really wish I just switched doctor's sooner. Like my mom said, Dr. Fetaz is close to retirement and just doesn't give a crap anymore.

Went to see Dr. Fetaz for my annual check up. I found her extremely thorough and very pleasant. She is not my family doctor but would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have been a patient of Doctor Fetaz for over 5 years and honestly she fully deserves the bad ratings that she has received here. She is flippant, impatient, uncompassionate, and does not keep up to date on the most recent medical literature. She is also not open to any alternative health options so if you are supporter do not choose her as a doctor. If you are someone who truly cares about your health then do not choose Dr. Fetaz because you will not find any answers there.

I have been going to Dr. Fetaz for the last five years. I feel rushed every time I go see her. I do not recommend that you go see this doctor! She is extremely insensitive. It took many times to convince her that I was depressed. She finally agreed to refer me to a specialist. In the last year I have developed a constant and endless ringing in my ears due to hearing damage. With depression hearing loss and the ringing in my ears it has been a very Difficult year! When I was in her office she accused me of being an angry person. I told her am not angry I am frustrated and trying desperately to seek help. She told me that it is very likely that I will never get help for the ringing in my ears and that I had taken up more than enough of her time. She refused to discuss the other test Results that I had made the appt. for. She seemed very angry at me and annoyed. I will never ever go back to see doctor Fetaz! I find it very sad that doctors get away with treating people like this. :(

if I didn't blurt out everything I had to talk to within the first minute I would be screwed because I could never seem to have an appointment for more than 5 minutes before being pushed out the door! I told her i needed a twtanus booster; she immediately left and came back with a needle and before i had a chance to even breathe the needle was jabbed into my arm! no questions at all! when i had the last one or why or anythingFor a year I'd try to tell her I was not well. Eventually I convinced her to do blood work and found I was very anaemic. I knew why I was losing blood and told her. I begged for a referral but she told me that I didn't need to see a specialist because I was imagining things. Eventually I cut a deal with her. I asked for a referral and in return I would find a new doctor. She agreed. I had 9 pre cancerous colon polyps! I was 23 years old. If I had not tried so hard I doubt I would have caught them so soon myself.

Dr. Fetaz was an incredibly competent and helpful doctor! Do no listen to any of these other people! I was helped right away and not kept waiting. Also, I never felt rushed, she took the time to listen to all my symptoms. She diagnosed and prescribed me medications that worked just as quickly and effectively as she did! She is a very compassionate person! I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends or family!

Dr. Fetaz was fantastic until I actually had a serious problem. She proved to me that her knowledge is dodgy, completely contradicting all the books and reports I had read on a certain subject. When I went for a second and third opinion, those healthcare professionals were shocked. That should have been my clue, instead I continued seeing her. She completely mis-diagnosed my next set of symptoms, giving me a prescription for meds that I did not need, then when she finally figured out what it was (after I was presenting new symptoms), she threw drugs at me without trying to figure out the cause! I started seeing a new doctor who immediately started sending me for tests. Turns out I had cancer. If I had stayed with Dr. Fetaz, I likely would be dead right now.

Despite her extremely unfriendly staff, Dr. Fetaz is a great doctor. I have seen her a handful of times over the past 3 years and every time I have been her last appointment of the day, but she is very friendly and warm and treats me like I am her first appointment. I always feel like I have her full attention and feel comfortable being honest about why I am there to see her without any judgement from her. She always has a smile and a gentil demeanour. If you don't mind staff being short with you I would recommend Dr. Fetaz to anyone.

Wasn't happy with Dr. Fetaz. I felt rushed and that she wasn't listening to me. I suffer from a chronic problem, while it isn't medically serious it greatly affects my life and how I function. It affects my work and everything I do. She never understood how this "minor" problem to her was such a "major" problem to me. I felt rushed out of her office, like I was a bother to her. She eventually told me to find another doctor and that she wouldn't see me anymore. this was because i missed taking my kids to appointments for H1N1 shots. I forgot about the appointment and so she billed me and I didn't pay her. I told the receptionist when they called I would pay next time I was in but she said it was too late, she didn't want me to come in anymore and that she would forgive the debt I owed as long as I don't come back. Yes it was my fault but I don't think she handled it well. I think she truly didn't know what to do with me or that all she cares about is money !!

Less than a week after setting a franchise record for 3-points attempt in a game, the Utah Jazz were at it again Friday night in Big D, heaving up 35 would-be triples — but not hitting nearly enough of them to avoid a 103-81 beatdown at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks.

Marvin Williams got things going early, hitting on his first four attempts from 3 in the opening quarter. By the end of the game, Trey Burke had launched nine of his own, Gordon Hayward had tossed up five, and backup guard Brandon Rush had found time to shoot six of in less than 14 minutes on the floor.
The trouble was not necessarily the shots themselves, but actually making them.
"We've been shooting a ton of 3s all year," said Williams, who has moved into a stretch-four position in his second season in Utah. "It's not your typical Utah Jazz basketball to shoot that many 3-pointers, but it's not very typical to play a smaller guy at the four-position as well. We've been doing things a little different this year, so that doesn't surprise me. We've got guys who can make shots; we're just not making them right now."
While Williams finished 5-for-8 from downtown, the rest of the Jazz connected on just 7 of their 27 attempts.
After finding their range during the last six weeks of the season, the Jazz have cooled off from deep. Over their last four games, the Jazz are shooting under 31 percent from 3.
"We had some good looks. That's what they were giving up," said Hayward, who went 1-for-5 from 3 and finished with eight points. "They were showing on a lot of pick-and-rolls and we had some nice swings for some 3s. We just didn't knock them down."
With the loss, the Jazz dropped to 16-33 on the year and hey now find themselves in their first four-game losing streak since early December, with a game against the defending champion Heat on Saturday night.
"It's definitely been a step back," said Hayward. "We were rolling a little bit there. We've taken just a little bit of a step backward, but hopefully we can move forward from this."
The Jazz jumped out to a seven-point lead in the first quarter, but the Mavericks closed out the period on a 14-2 run to recapture the lead. In the second quarter, Utah got within one point before Dallas used a 17-3 run over about a six minutes span to take a 15-point lead.
Williams, coming off a season-high 23 point night earlier this week against Toronto, scored 21 points in the first half, but was held scoreless in the second half.
"We changed our whole defense," said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle. "We played zone whenever we could. The matchup was hard and they were doing some things to loosen him up. We had to change. We did, and the guy did a good job with it. A guy's not going to make every shot — even though it seemed like was going to at the beginning."
With the Jazz's hot hand neutralized, Utah couldn't find a scorer to step take over. Burke (13) and Richard Jefferson (10) were the only other Jazz scores in double figures.
Throughout the night, Dallas proved to be not only the more talented team, but also the harder working team as well.
"One thing we can't afford to do against anybody right now where we are as a team, we can't have guys out work us," Jazz coach Ty Corbin said. "And I thought they out worked us tonight."
The Mavericks outrebounded the Jazz 48-37, leading to a 15-6 advantage in second-chance points. And Dallas found its way to the basket more often, scoring 38 points in the paint to the Jazz's 18.
"Every loose ball, they got to it. They got to way more offensive rebounds than we got to," Williams said. "And it seemed like every time they made a play like that, they hit a big shot, a 3 or an and-one. It kind of takes the wind out of your sails when you work that hard defensively and then give up an offensive rebound for a 3."
Dallas guard Monta Ellis scored a game-high 22 points before leaving with a hamstring injury. All-Star Dirk Nowitzki dropped in 20 of his own, as the Mavs hit on 47 percent of their field goals.
And from 3? They took fewer than the Jazz (18), but hit nearly as many (10).
So by the end, the Jazz were reliant on the shot just to try to get back in the game.

The alerts you receive on your phone are important for the here and now, but also for the future.
Global temperatures are on the rise.
Associate Professor Chris Castro of the University of Arizona says over time, that could change the monsoon.
"Our climate in Arizona is like this, hot & dry, before the monsoon," Castro said. "And then the monsoon... then it goes like this. The extremes associated in each of those regimes gets worse."
That means more dangerous heat, more destructive wildfires, and more damaging floods.
We can now see why this is going to happen in climate computer models.
"(It's) due to an increase in computer power," Castro said.
These are so detailed they can see how an individual thunderstorm could affect your neighborhood in a warmer world.
"There is a dollar amount associated with that," said Castro. "There is a public safety and national security implication to that."
Which is why insurance companies, city mangers, the department of defense, and many more are looking to these models so we can plan for a safer future today.
