The rumored death of the movie theater
When TV emerged in the 1950s, the death knell was tolling.
When VHS ascended in the '70s, Gabriel was calling.
When DVDs triumphed in the '90s, theaters were knocking on heaven's door.
But death? Not yet.
This time, though, things are different. Movie theaters are facing a perfect storm of cultural, economic, and technological change that's been brewing for the past half decade.
International piracy (bootlegs popping up on the Shanghai black market), advancements in home entertainment systems (56-inch high-definition TV, DVRs), and improvements in broadband and the Internet (cable on demand, streaming video from Hulu and Netflix) -- these have conspired to undermine the value of going to the movies.
But movies aren't going away. You could even say it's a great time to own a theater, says Mike Furlinger of the Terrace Theatre in Charleston, S.C.
The same technological advancements that have come to threaten theater venues are the very advancements that will make them more relevant and profitable, he says.Along with mainstream movies, theaters everywhere are trying to make themselves unique by subscribing to live broadcasts of special timely events, like sports and opera, as well as films made for niche-market demographics, such as fashion-obsessed teenage girls, pro-wrestling freaks, NASCAR fans, or Japanimation aficionados.
After the jump, read more about movie theaters taking steps to use high-tech to attract viewers, plus other companies enticing audiences with fashionable amenities and plain old-fashioned aggressive business tactics in order to break into the Charleston market.
In Summerville's Azalea Square Stadium 16, moviegoers can see high-def broadcasts of La Fille du Régiment from the Metropolitan Opera (April 26), a documentary about motocross star Travis Pastrana (April 16-17), Bratz: Girlz Really Rock (April 19), This American Life with Ira Glass (May 1), and Death Note, about the making of a hit manga series (May 20).
You can see Bratz, Pastrana, and Death Note on the same dates at the Regal Charles Towne Square 18, in North Chuck, too, but you can also see The Countdown (April 24), a one-night-only broadcast of the past three years at the Drum Corps International competition.
At the Terrace Theatre, Furlinger has struck a deal with a company called Emerging Pictures to receive high-definition satellite feeds of opera (beginning May 4) from La Scala in Milan, Italy, as well as other high-def content, like the upcoming movie called Note by Note (opens Friday), a documentary about the making of a Steinway piano from beginning to end.
But efforts to stay relevant go beyond high-tech. Some companies are trying to make a typically bad experience better.
In Mt. Pleasant, work began last week on retro-fitting the Regal Mount Pleasant Stadium 12 into a new kind of theater venture called Cinebarre. Originating in Asheville, the company is now opening franchises in Denver and Charleston. The idea behind the business combines dining out, movies, and a widely-shared irritation.
"People are tired of dealing with screaming babies and the Middle School Mafia," says Terrell Braly, president of Cinebarre, which has entered into a partership with Regal Entertainment Group. "If mediocre entertainment is all there is, people are going to stay home. But give them a cool experience, they can't get that from their wide-screen plasma TVs."
The strategy is simple: Appeal to adults.
How? Cinebarre outright bans children under 6 years old, for one thing. Kids under 17 are required to have adult supervision. There's a wine and beer bar as well as an extensive menu of high-end pub food on par with Applebee's. There are no commercials prior to opening credits. Decor is tasteful and modern. Food is made to order. Each theater features dining tables.
Braly says people return at least four times a month -- repeat business that's essential to keeping costs down. He expects the 950-seat, 11-screen "eat-o-plex" to be open by Independence Day.
Other companies are combining high-tech with aggressive business tactics.
Southeast Cinema Entertainment, a mom-and-pop company out of Charlotte, spent a year acquiring the land beneath the AMC Citadel Mall 6, pushing AMC Entertainment Inc. out of West Ashley.
It plans to continue operating the venue (it reopens Friday) until late summer when it will tear the building down to construct a 55,000-square-foot, 16-screen, stadium-seating multiplex that features 2,600 seats, two digital 3-D auditoriums, and two (maybe four) theaters devoted exclusively to arthouse cinema.
It, too, plans to offer food and drink as well as satellite broadcasts of niche-market movies and special events.
"This is not just taking over a shuttered theater," says Bryan Smith, district manager for Southeast Cinema, which operates theater venues in Virginia, North Carolina, and Hilton Head. "This was a planned effort to break into the Charleston market. We expect to support that [arthouse] crowd."
So it seems this rumored death might be a tad exaggerated.
"Theaters will be dying for many years to come," Furlinger says.

by James Slater - Unbeaten 25-year-old Londoner Derek "Del Boy" Chisora is another in the large number of people who feels "Big Bad" John McDermott was robbed this past Friday night in his fight with the heavily hyped Tyson Fury. Chisora, 10-0(5) says McDermott definitely deserves a rematch with Fury, but that he hopes he doesn't get one because he'd love to be the first man to beat the 6'8" traveller..
Speaking on his promoter Frank Warren's web site, Chisora has predicted how he will KO both Fury and McDermott if he ever gets the opportunity.
"If they [Fury and McDermott] fight me they will find out they have bitten off more than they can chew," Chisora said. "It was a good scrap on Friday, and there's no doubt McDermott deserved to win. I wish I could have the same thing that the referee was smoking because it looked like good stuff. All the talk at the moment is of a rematch, but I hope they don't do it because I want to be the first to take Fury's unbeaten record.
"If he goes in with McDermott again he'll get beaten. I'll knock out McDermott no problem, but it won't be the same as bursting Fury's bubble."
More than level with Fury when it comes to the boasting, Chisora will perhaps find he has trouble getting the majority of fans to accept his boasts. Yet to face anyone as experienced as the underrated McDermott, Chisora has never faced anyone as big, young and hungry as Fury either. The way Fury was made to labour against McDermott, and due to the manner of his highly controversial win, it was almost inevitable that a number of British rivals would come out and issue challenges to the 21-year-old. But was Chisora as keen to fight Fury a few months back? Not according to Team-Fury, who claim they offered Chisora a winner-take-all deal, only to have it turned down flat.
Styles make fights, and a still learning Fury always was going to have his hands full against 29-year-old McDermott at this stage, as he will once again if the return comes off within the next six months or so. But styles make fights, and Fury, in my opinion anyway, would have a good chance of derailing Chisora. As to Chisora-McDermott; unless he were to get robbed once again, "Big Bad" John would school "Del Boy" on the way to a points win the way we all saw him teach Fury a lesson on the way to getting a bad decision.
One thing's for sure, the British heavyweight scene is looking a lot more exciting now than it was this time last year.

Note: As some of you already know, Season 3 of the Great Burger Search started off with a call for guest reviewers. Over the following burgers, you'll see what those guests have tried when accompanying Mr. Lew
Burger 102: Hachoir
Click here for the original review.
July 14, 2011
Mr. Lew: This was this single patty version of the burger I tried that day. The guest reviewer is one of my two younger sisters. Enjoy.
Review: The burger I chose to try out was the 'Burger Classique' single. Upon receiving the burger, what immediately stuck out to me was that the bread was just a tad bit greasy. It wasn't fun to have to constantly wipe my fingers but that didn't deter from the fact that this burger had a pleasant surprise. The unique element which caught my attention was that; instead of using a pickle which is what we are most used to, this burger included cucumber instead. I personally found this to be a refreshing twist. The meat was pretty thick and a little on the dry side which made me question where the grease was coming from though. All in all, I did enjoy trying something new and different. I would probably have been able to finish it off if I had not taken fries but it was definitely one of the larger burgers I have seen in awhile. There are other more exotic burgers from this restaurant that may be nice to try in the future.

MONDAY, Aug. 30 (HealthDay News) -- Black patients are at
increased risk of developing life-threatening blood clots after
receiving a drug-coated stent to prop open narrowed arteries, U.S.
researchers have found.
The new study included more than 7,200 patients who had stents
coated with clot-prevention drugs implanted between mid-2003 and
the end of 2008.
The researchers found that black patients were nearly three
times more likely to develop a clot compared to patients of other
races. In fact, being black was the strongest predictor that
clotting would occur more than one month after implantation of a
drug-coated stent, the study authors noted.
When the researchers took into account other known risk factors
for clotting -- including diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney
problems -- black patients still had a higher rate of developing a
blood clot, according to the study results.
The clotting rates for blacks compared to non-blacks were:
The findings held true even though black patients took their
prescribed anti-clotting medication at a higher rate than other
races, the study authors pointed out. Possible genetic differences
in the way the patients' bodies react to the anti-clotting
medication may be one potential cause that needs further study, the
researchers suggested in a news release from the American Heart
The study also found that the rate of death from all causes
after three years was almost 25 percent for black patients compared
to about 13 percent for patients of other races.
The higher death rates among black patients are "not just
because this population is sicker or less compliant, but there is
something else there that needs to be explored," lead author Dr.
Ron Waksman, associate director of the cardiology division at
Washington Hospital Center and a professor of medicine and
cardiology at Georgetown University, said in the news release.
The study was released online in advance of publication in an
upcoming print issue of the journal

Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards completed his staff on Wednesday by naming Keith Acton and Craig Hartsburg as the newest Blue Jackets assistant coaches.
Both men come to the team with previous experience behind the bench. Under coaches such as Paul Gauthier, John Tortorella, Paul Maurice and Wayne Cashman, Acton spent ten years as assistant coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2001-11, with the New York Rangers from 1998-2000 and with the Philadelphia Flyers from 1994-98. A former center drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 1978, Acton played for the Flyers, Minnesota North Stars, Washington Capitals and New York Islanders, and he was part of the Edmonton Oilers team that won the Stanley Cup in 1988.
Hartsburg brings two decades of coaching experience to Columbus. He was most recently an assistant coach for the Calgary Flames, but he has head coaching experience as well: with the Chicago Blackhawks from 1995-98, the Anaheim Ducks from 1998-2001 and the Ottawa Senators in 2008-09. He was also an assistant coach for the Minnesota North Stars and twice for the Philadelphia Flyers. He was also head coach in the junior leagues for the Western Hockey League's Everett Silvertips and Ontario Hockey League's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Guelph Storm. He was also Team Canada's head coach for their gold-medal performances in the 2007 and 2008 World Junior Championships. Drafted as a defenseman by the Minnesota North Stars in 1979, he played with them for 10 years and was with the team when they made it to the 1981 Stanley Cup Finals.
The moves come after a tumultuous year for the Blue Jackets' coaching staff. Scott Arniel, who had been head coach since June 2010,was fired in January, and assistant coach Richards was given an interim label. Richards was formally named head coach of the Blue Jackets in March. Arniel has recently been named the head coach of the AHL's Chicago Wolves.

Paris Hilton denies a physical fight with Doug Reinhardt. The couple were seen arguing after they left a Halloween party this weekend after Doug tossed Paris' cell phone out the window. Some people claim to have seen choking, but Paris denies it.
More pictures of Paris after the toss…
I can't see Paris becoming violent, but if I kept losing cell phones and had to re-enter everyone's number repeatedly, it might be enough to make one go ballistic. But alas, Paris did not. From Entertainment Tonight:
Paris' rep gave ET this exclusive statement saying, "Doug had thrown Paris' phone to a friend inside the car and it went out of the window by accident. Paris was annoyed with Doug because she was afraid that the paparazzi would get her phone. There was never a choking incident. The photographs show Doug asking Paris not to go back outside and to calm down."
And then Paris makes a solo appearance. I bet she is annoyed with Doug, because she has to reprogram all those number in again….

Jim Fuller: Conservatives and the nice, polite folks I think of as carriage liberals have no choice but to step out into the cold with the outspoken progressives or go on doing what they've been doing for years now – giving their money and their votes to people who despise them and routinely screw them over.
Sarah Palin and the Tea Party
Sharon Kyle: The Right dominates AM talk radio and Fox but progressives dominate alternative media and we can be a force to be reconned with when we use the media to get out our message.
Catch 22 with President Obama
Lydia Howell: Ultimately, what is most important about Barack Obama may not be that he is an African-American president but, that — like Bill Clinton before him — he is a Corporate Democrat, who offers no real alternatives to Big Business As Usual and Endless Wars for Empire — (just like the Republicans
"Preserving Democracy" Theme of LA Media Event This Saturday
Please join the LA Media Reform Group, California Common Cause, and the Urban & Environmental Policy Institute on March 27, 2010, at Occidental College for our third annual summit. Given the recent Supreme Court decision, the changing media landscape, and the importance of the upcoming election cycle, we've decided to make this year's theme, "Preserving Democracy."
Jerry Brown Ends Stealth Campaign
Paul Hogarth: There's no good reason why Democrats cannot win the California governorship this year. Barack Obama won the state with 61% of the vote, not a single Congressional district has a majority of registered Republicans left, and Arnold's legacy as Governor will be driving the state to bankruptcy. In other words, the real fight should have been the Democratic primary – and as long as progressives turn out the base in November, the Republican will lose.
What's a Real Democratic Majority?
Paul Hogarth: The filibuster means that progressive legislation requires 72 Senate Democrats – but you only need 54 Republicans to ram through the most awful right-wing agenda. Why? Because "Democrats vote with Republicans significantly more often than Republicans vote with Democrats, making it much easier for Republicans to pass the kind of legislation they want.
Obama Era Sees Decline of Organizing
How About House Democrats Next?
Paul Hogarth: In the past year, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats have made major strides passing progressive legislation – only to see it die or lull in the Senate, with the President barely lifting a finger. Voters are getting restless, Obama's approval ratings are down and Democrats are in trouble because they haven't gotten much done. Now with the Senate acting like a House of Lords, it's time for House Democrats to get a little respect – and give Obama a piece of their mind.
Blue Dog Democrats Exposed as Frauds
Paul Hogarth: many Blue Dogs are in trouble because of health care, and ironically what could save their hide is a public option. Instead, they are left selling a corporate-friendly bill hashed behind closed doors that forces Americans to buy private insurance – which will only make their constituents vote Republican. That's why so many Blue Dogs are retiring – so they can bail and become lobbyists for the insurance industry.
Glenn Beck on Woolsey, Harman and Winograd
Glenn Beck weighs in on the congressional race in California against Marcy Winograd and Jane Harman
Friday Feedback: They Take Our Money and P__s on Our Boots
Friday Feedback: Two nights ago some right wing acquaintances accosted me at a meeting and were chortling because they were pulling for Smith and thought he would win. I fought back saying that we need national healthcare, (medicare for all), the EFCA, and other really progressive policies to be enacted and implemented and that the rich should be taxed to pay for the changes.
Haiti's Curse
Defining Progressive Victories in 2010
Political Predictions for 2010
Paul Hogarth: California desperately needs to abolish the two-thirds requirement to pass a state budget, and even an amendment that does not include taxes would be incremental progress. But unless labor unions start putting real money in this effort, and the Democratic Party makes it the priority it must be, it's going to get lost in the shuffle – and we won't have what it takes to run a winning campaign.
2010 Resolutions
In our LA Progressive survey that ran from 30 December 2009 to 2 January 2010, we asked our readers to name a political leader they admire and write a 2010 resolution for that person. Here are the results from that survey. Below is the full list of responses:
Left Turn Only: Progressive Chautauqua
Pass the Health Care Bill: Then Improve It
Peter Dreier: It is incredibly irresponsible for some radicals and progressives to call for killing the health care bill. It is important to push for changes that would improve the Senate version of the bill. For example, the House funding plan (a tax on families with incomes over $1 million) is much better than the Senate version (a tax on so-called "Cadillac" health insurance plans). That's what the labor movement, liberal and progressive Democrats in Congress, pro-choice advocates, and others will be doing in hopes of putting a better bill on President Obama's desk, as Harold Meyerson discusses in his latest Washington Post column.
Holiday Shopping 2009: The Customer Is Always Right!
That's Just The Way It Is
Hey, Hey, LBJ! What Kind of Bill Would You Kill Today?
At a Christmas party a couple weeks ago, back when it looked as if the Senate bill's compromise would include the Medicare buy-in, a friend of mine told me that he predicted Harry Reid was gong to go down in history as the next LBJ. When I reminded him that the deal was not yet [...]
2009: The Year Change Fell Prey to Backroom Deals
I don't recall how or when single-payer was taken "off the table" – except that Senator Max Baucus said it was. Without single payer, progressives focused on the public option – which although a compromise, could have held insurance companies accountable. Everyone knew it was tough and compromise would happen, but we were supposed to be part of that decision.
Senators, Thanks For Reminding Us Why We Don't Like You
If Washington is the place where "good ideas go to die," as candidate Obama liked to say, then the Senate is the slaughterhouse. This white millionaires' club where the biggest egos on Earth tell us how goddamn important they are has just screwed the middle class in this country — a middle class that is reeling after years of being beaten down by these Senators' masters in private industry.
Forty More Days
Obama Ignores Community Organizing Lessons
When Barack Obama backed a Senate health reform plan that differed radically from prior proposals, he ignored the lessons he learned as a young organizer on Chicago's South Side. Obama once knew that it's wrong to bypass the community's agenda to strike a backroom deal, regardless of its superior terms. Obama also understood that failing to consult with the community disempowers the base, and discourages people from participating in future organizing campaigns.
Memo to Washington: We Are Not a Conservative Country
Obama Becoming Clinton I Feared
Obama's Right Turn
When President Barack Obama took office, many activists and organizations saw their role as mobilizing the public support necessary to enable him to implement progressive change. After Obama's September health care speech this strategy appeared to be working, but the President has since ignored the progressive base and taken a sharp turn to the right.

Don't expect results immediately because it could take time until you'll be able to concentrate on your relaxation exercises and truly take control of your anxiety. You'll have to strive toward this goal, but it makes sense worthwhile.

text: Original Ottos Barbecue on Memorial Drive in Houston George H.W. Bush Loves Otto's The Legendary Waylon Jennings Once upon a time [uh no], In the beginning [scratch that], T'was the night before Christmas [oh wrong story]… Otto's began as a very modest Convenience store off Memorial Drive near Downtown Houston in 1951, and then grew into a BBQ Joint. At that time this was "Far West" Houston, changed a little since then!! It was known for the old-fashioned brick pit Hickory barbecue, and fresh ground on premise hamburgers. Over time the Convenience store & "Joint" went south and was replaced by Otto's Hamburgers and a stand alone Otto's Barbecue Restaurant. Otto's grew into a very popular restaurant and has several locations in downtown Houston. Millions, even world dignitaries, enjoy Otto's and we're very grateful for and to all our Guests! The original Otto's has closed to make way for a new generation of development but the Legacy is in the fine hands of its owners and we proudly present the next generation of its Chef-Driven evolution…Otto's DeLuxe Grille!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alyson Hannigan has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man whom she claims has repeatedly threatened her and her family.
RELATED: Alyson Hannigan shares first photo of newborn daughter
The "How I Met Your Mother" star obtained the order Wednesday. It requires John Hobbs to stay 100 yards away and stop posting about her online.
Hannigan's court filings state that the 43-year-old resident of Nashua, N.H., was recently released from a mental hospital.
RELATED: Alyson Hannigan talks pregnancy and nannies
The filing says Hobbs has threatened in online posts to kill the actress and harm her family. He admitted to police in New Hampshire that he wanted to travel to California to meet the actress.
RELATED: Alec Baldwin's alleged stalker claims to have seen Baldwin naked
The order covers Hannigan, her husband and their two children, ages 1 and 3.
A phone number registered to Hobbs has been disconnected.

I find it really a bit debilitating. I cannot settle on any sort of Main.
I have now 6 chars at 85 and none of them really interest me as sticking to, So I keep going back and trying more still looking for one to stick. I really don't think it is going to happen though and I will most likely wind up dropping out of the game once more only checking in here and there when I get the itch to re sub.
It is a pattern for me and one I wish I never started. While I have been able to buckle down and get stuff done on a Main before this expansion , at this time I am just not feeling it beyond leveling I just stop.

Secrets Of The New iPad
Apple is a company that tends to forge its own unique path, which rivals later follow in order to echo its commercial successes and design innovations, which is why its decision to call the third generation iPad by the same name as the 2010 original, with no numerical suffix denoting its relation to its older siblings, has to be accepted as one of its quirks.
The new iPad remains one of the most popular tablet devices on the planet, easily outpacing its rivals in terms of sales not only due to the reputation of its brand but also because of the experience that it offers.
The first secret to the success of the new iPad is in its 9.7 inch Retina Display. Whilst previous iPads featured screens of the same size, the pixel count has been doubled here to provide a resolution of 2048×1536.
For those keeping score, that gives the new iPad more onscreen detail than all 1080p full HD TVs that sit in living rooms across the world and because this is compressed onto a screen that is much smaller, it means that there is so much detail that your eye cannot distinguish the difference between one pixel and the next, for a truly natural viewing experience.
Of course a great display is nothing without the right hardware to back it up and deliver excellent content to it, which is why the dual core A5X processor and GPU solution within the new iPad is a boon. You get significantly improved graphics capabilities thanks to the PowerVR chip, which means that Apple sees the iPad as easily competing with Android-based quad core tablets in terms of performance when running intensively visual-oriented tasks such as playing games or processing video.
The five megapixel iSight camera on the rear of the iPad is another of its major features, because if you watch any sporting event or go to any major gig or gathering you will doubtlessly see someone holding aloft an iPad to capture video or take photographs. The first two generations of the iPad were a little lacking in this department, but with full HD 1080p video capture and a better sensor resolution the new iPad is a more appealing companion for photography fans.
In terms of connectivity the new iPad kicks things up a notch thanks to its use of LTE networking in areas where this is available. Of course there are more basic models with Wi-Fi only which makes them more affordable, but for people who require constant connectivity at high speeds the new iPad provides them with an excellent platform for this.
There is not really any secret as to why the iPad 3 is such a good tablet, because it showcases everything it has upfront and is so popular that there are few potential buyers who will not already have experienced its capabilities at the controls of a friend`s device.

Don't really mind other people enjoying achievements. I mean, hey, whatever makes the game fun for you, as long as it's not taking away anything from other people's enjoyment.
What annoys me is when people don't get that I really couldn't give a crap about achievements. Running through Scarlet Monastary and my groupmates are yelling "BOOK HERE! GET THE BOOK FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT!" and they're frantically flipping through each book without actually reading it. Isn't the whole point of having the books around to get the story from them? The extra bit of world depth?
Just seems utterly retarded to me. I guess it just goes to show most people will do anything if you dangle something shiny in front of them.
I do however quite like some achievements, such as 'The Immortal". Those are actually really Achievements. You accomplished something to get that. It's an acknowledgment of your skill. Still not something I'm going to chase to the exclusion of everything else.

I would like to hear people's perspectives about an inherent lack of respect in our culture, and how we can teach transcendence of such?
One could argue hate, war, and crime which have gone on for centuries are manifestations of man's same "dark" side, but are we merely using disrespect as weakened versions of our other sides, and is there a way to transcend it? Perhaps try to bring back a non gender specific form of chivalry, as an example? What has happened to human interaction as a result of so much of us relying on social media, and will this be a contributing factor to the demise of our sense of connection that leads to further devolution of our societal mores, or just plain manners?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 30 2012: Respect seems to be becoming a rare human expression because we are becoming more self centered.
In most cases, we dont really care about the 'other', that is: other cultures, other religions, other ideas, other nations, other way of doing things.
The world is turning to a place of 'my way or nothing else' while successfully presenting a front of being a 'global village', or being more democratic.
Social media has provided more opportunities for sharing information and knowing more about other areas of the world that would not have been heard of without it. But it has not cured humanity of selfishness, avarice, pride and other vices that has always plagued interpersonal relationships. For example, the online community could rant and rave about someone like Joseph Kony for days; but do they really care about the Ugandan people? Or is it just an attempt to go with twitter's trends?
Interpersonal relationships blossoms when there is emphaty and tolerance.
Now there are war of words online! Some people want homosexuals to be destroyed; some people want the Jews wiped out; some people think the US is the 'great Satan'; some people think Middle East women must be like European/American women in order to be 'emancipated'; some people want Europe to get rid of all 'foreigners'.
In Nigeria,some people have learnt how to make bombs from the web, and now suicide bombings are weekly news.
With social media, human relationships have become superficial: now most people think they can help some Malian girl being traffiked for slavery, or a Nigerian girl being forced to marry a man twice her father's age, by clicking 'like' on a facebook page. Sometimes we mistake the online world for the real world. Or social media could create an illussion of change when actually no change is taking place.
Yes, social networks has numerous advantages, recently it has been instrumental to the overthrow of dictators; but it can never replace the old-fashioned touch and presence of a fellow human being.
May 30 2012: I cannot remember where I read this case in the last week or so, but I agree that the internet makes communication among diverse groups easier than ever, but it also makes it easier to band together in groups onf people who reenforce each others prejudices. Perhaps it was the article Big Think ran in the last week about what the author called Neo-tribalism.
Jun 3 2012: it has it's pro's and cons. I think though we would be better off using the telephone and embracing face to face in person relationships like it use to be. It's healthier mentally and physically. If it were a pay service there would be far less negativity on facebook if u get my drift. The government being able to listen to us is good in someways, and not so good in others. I have dialed back my usage for personal reasons...just need to get out more, my husband of 14 years passed and, well, u understand. I have a website if u care to check it out. http://www.maryrondoni.com Have a good Sunday. God Rocks.

Ford has announced that the 2012 Edge will be available with the company's latest EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers up to 30 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. The only competitive utilities offering higher highway fuel economy than Edge with EcoBoost are a few smaller-size vehicles such as the Ford Escape Hybrid .
The engine delivers a total of 240 HP at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 270 lb.-ft. at 3,000 rpm. The engine will be mated to an unique 6F35 six-speed automatic transmission optimized for fuel efficiency through employment of active transmission warm-up to help reduce internal friction as the powertrain approaches normal operating temperature.
"Fuel efficiency is important to our customers," said Amy Marentic, group marketing manager, Large Cars and Crossovers. "Adding the EcoBoost engine to the new Ford Edge crossover makes for 13 vehicles delivering 30 mpg or more in the Ford showroom."

You're probably well aware by now that Sarah Palin has been tapped to make a guest appearance as a co-host with Ann Curry and Matt Lauer on the Today show tomorrow a.m. WHY?! Well, Meredith Vieira has a snarky theory. (And this is not just hearsay, people!) The Today icon spoke with Palin today when she called the show and thanked NBC for showing "boldness" in its decision to have her on, you know, because it goes against them looking like regular, ol' "lamestream media." Sarah also gushed that it showed NBC possesses a "diversity of opinion." Meredith's reaction? "... or desperation."
HA! How in-your-face amazing is that?! Because, really, let's be honest: For what other reason would NBC have Sarah on?
What does she actually have to contribute to the conversation? It's such a complete ratings stunt. Especially to put her up against her "nemesis" Katie Couric. (Gotta love when old white men decide to pit two women against one another, thinking that's somehow the epitome of must-watch TV.)
Thankfully, the ludicrous nature of Sarah's appearance didn't go unnoticed by Matt Lauer either. When he chatted with Sarah this morning along with Mere, Lauer asked the Grizzly Mom point blank if she was reading newspapers to prepare for her appearance -- a joke that brought to memory the airheaded response Palin gave when she was running for, oh, you know, just the office of the vice-president of the United States! Sarah was a good sport, replying, "That's a fine how do you do. That's a great start. Here we go!"
Too bad she doesn't realize that these passive-aggressive jabs had a lot of power behind them. Clearly, Mere and Matt aren't fans of Palin and felt it necessary to put her in her place. I'm really impressed by how bold they were, actually, to bash the decision-making from the top. But you know, whoever made the call to invite Palin on totally deserves it.
Here's the clip of her call on the show today ...
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Love Meredith and Matt's snarky remarks? Or are you cheering Sarah Palin on?
Image via msnbc.com
I simply can't believe the show is lowering itself to these TV Trash standards. I was never Couric's fault that Sarah Palin has the education level of a 4th grader and the world knowledge of a hermit crab. They're buying into the political circus for ratings and it's a damn shame. Of course, Sarah will do ANYTHING for money and attention. The dollars will rain down as she gives them another sneak peek at what's under that dress. See just how nasty America's Top MILF will get for the cash at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html
This isn't as bad as the joke that Obama is our president.
Brandt, can you possibly convey your distaste for Ms. Palin without being so crass? She's not my cup of tea, either, but I just won't watch her on NBC. Not that that will affect their ratings, I rarely watch NBC news either, and I never watch Today on the weekdays. Please, show a little more class.

Hamburg is Germany's second largest city and is very cosmopolitan. The compact city has an excellent transport system with plenty of shops, but few major landmarks beyond the usual churches. Hamburg has an excellent nightlife particularly in the St Pauli area which was traditionally the red-light district. The city's main attraction is Alster Lake, which offers a host of boat trips and activities in peaceful contrast to the bustling city. Around the busy harbour are many ships and container vessels to see as well as the historic Speicherstadt warehouse district.
The Alster Lake is the centre of Hamburg's recreational activities. Take a cruise from the Binnenalster on Lake Alster, to enjoy the Aussenalster and the surrounding parkland, a popular activity with the Hamburg locals. Music is also part of the local culture and the Reeperbahn area throbs to the pulsating beat of the nightlife, particularly at the weekends. Red double-decker bus tours are a great way to see the city sights or walk around and explore the city centre on foot. The usual city attractions include shopping, strolling in the parks and dining out on some of Hamburg's renowned local cuisine.
Hamburg has several notable churches which pierce the modern skyline. The 132 metre high tower of St Michael, known locally as "Michel" can be climbed up for fabulous city and harbour views from the viewing platform. The old "Speicherstadt" warehouse district is between the Baumwall and the Deichtor Halls. This pretty area has Gothic buildings, gables and towers in the 100-year old architecture. The ground floor accommodates goods which are being transported by ship, including the world's largest Oriental carpet store.
Hamburg has hot sunny summers with average temperatures reaching 22°C (72°F) whilst winters can be below freezing from December to February. The city can have rain and showers at any time of year although the winter has the highest precipitation so be prepared with an umbrella or raincoat.
Visitors enjoying holiday rentals in Hamburg will find regular flights from all over Europe to the Hamburg (HAM) Airport make it a very easy city to reach. The airport is 8km (5 miles) north of the city and the S-Bahn suburban network conveniently links it to the centre of Hamburg.

Down by five points early in the second half and in desperate need of offense last Thursday at Pana, the Vandalia girls basketball team went to a scoring option few teams possess.
It turned to its defense.
The result was a turnover-fueled 11-1 run that turned an 18-13 third-quarter deficit into a 24-19 Lady Vandals lead and - after some tense moments down the stretch - something that hasn't happened in quite a while.
Tuesday's postponed Vandalia boys basketball game at Hillsboro has been rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 16, at Hillsboro. The game was originally rescheduled for tonight (Wednesday, Jan. 28), but heavy snows wiped out VCHS's latest attempt to take on the Hiltoppers.
The Vandals' home date with Hillsboro has also been postponed twice and has been rescheduled for Feb. 7 at VCHS.
Note from Brownstown and St. Elmo school district officials:
Tonight's Consolidation Informational Meeting will still be held at the Brownstown Elementary Cafeteria at 6:00 p.m. for anyone who wishes to travel this evening. The same meeting format will be held Thursday evening at St. Elmo High School Cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. Please note that there will be other meetings scheduled between now and the April elections for those who do not wish to journey out.
Fayette County received its biggest snowfall in recent years via winter storms on Monday and Tuesday.
The storm meant work for some people, including Marlin Filer, shown here using a road grader to clear streets in downtown Vandalia.
For others, the storm brought enjoyment. Two photos here show sisters Haley and Sarah Bigelow sledding on Tuesday afternoon at the former Washington School, and a third photo shows Cheslea Kozak (left) and Carley Rathbone sledding on the Evans Scout House grounds on Randolph Street in Vandalia.
Residents in four Fayette County communities will have a choice when voting for mayor in April.
As the filing period for the April 7 consolidated election ended on Monday, races for mayor (or village president) formed in Vandalia, Brownstown, St. Elmo and Farina.
Mayor Rick Gottman has two challengers as he seeks a third term in office. Also filing for the mayoral race were John David Wehrle Jr. and Neil F. Clark.
City Clerk Peggy Bowen and City Treasurer Marjorie Blythe are both unopposed in running for their fourth terms in office.
As millions of people the world over watched on television, Barack Obama took the oath of office to become the 44th and first African-American president of the United States.
Literally countless others attended the event in person in Washington, D.C. The volume of people was such that a photograph taken from space indicated the masses of humanity.
Vandalia Community High School senior Brittany "Nikki" Stine, was among those huge crowds on the mall braving the very cold day of January 20, 2009, an experience she will always treasure.
The Vandalia Main Street Program will hold its fifth annual "Nite at the Races" on Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Vandalia Country & Golf Club.
A social hour at 6 p.m. is followed by eight consecutive horse races, with the first getting under way at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $15 per person in advance and $20 at the door. Prizes will be awarded for best-decorated tables, best-dressed jockey and ladies with fancy hats. The evening concludes with a live auction.
For tickets, contact the Main Street office, 283-8751.
When the Vandalia School Board last February voted to close the Vandalia Community High School campus, it was with the hope that keeping students on school property during the lunch period would enhance the overall learning atmosphere.
But they couldn't have imagined that the results would be so dramatic.
In last week's column, we were introduced to Dr. James A. Black, born near Salem, and the keeper of a diary during his three years with Company D of the 49th Illinois Infantry.
It wasn't so much the good doctor who caused my interest in Company D, it was the fact that author Benita Moore of Galesburg informed me that 20 men from Vandalia were assigned to this company.
The prep basketball season tends to get a lot like a trip to McDonald's once the conference slate begins - just the same old, same old.
That said, one might liken the Third Annual WKRV/Hosick Motors Vandalia Shootout as the hoops equivalent to a trip to the Golden Corral buffet.
For roughly nine hours Saturday at VCHS, basketball fans will get the opportunity to enjoy something different - and there will be plenty of variety.

MARLINTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia State Police say a teacher from Marlinton has been arrested on charges she had sex with a student in 2013.
In a release issued Thursday, state police say 25-year-old Samantha Bartley was arrested this week on three counts of sexual assault by a guardian. Investigators say a former student of Pocahontas High School came forward to say he had sexual relations with Bartley when he was a student.
State police say the student was a juvenile when he said the sex occurred.
State police say Bartley was arraigned in Pocahontas Magistrate Court.
A telephone message left at a listing for a Samantha Bartley was not immediately returned Wednesday.

Future Mrs Way10 Reviews
Monica and Gee have their first "engaged" breakfact.
She smiled "I like the sound of that. Say it again." She reached up and pulled him down on the bed.
"Oh no you don't" he laughed, "Breakfast first then you can have your way with me." He rolled off the bed and pulled her up. "Wait until you see what room service brought. I told them I wanted the best breakfast they had." His boyish glee was contagious.
"What did they bring?" They walked into the living room. The table by the balcony was covered with dishes. "Gee who is going to eat all this food?"
"I am, I need my strength. My fiancée is a wild woman who wears me out." He pulled out her chair and waited for her to be seated. He took his seat across from her watching her eye all the dishes. He laughed when the first thing she chose was a red, ripe strawberry. She put the juicy fruit to her lips. "Wait there is whipped cream to dip it in."
She giggled, "I just love whipped cream don't you?" Dunking the strawberry as she asked.
Gerard's thoughts went back to the night at Mikey and Alicia's when whipped cream had made their night so special. He felt that familiar tingling begin. "Shit, Monica I'm not gonna get through breakfast at this rate."
Her throaty laugh didn't help at all. "Really Gee?" she teased. Taking another strawberry she dipped it in the topping and held it out for him to bite. His mouth opened and slowly bit into the fruit. Watching him she understood what he was feeling. The man had such a sexy mouth.
Gerard grabbed another strawberry and after dunking it in the sweet topping held it out to her, his hand slightly shaking. Monica put her lips around it but didn't bite instead she let it slip out of her mouth letting her tongue dart out to lick the white topping. Her tongue swirled around the red fruit and once it was gone she once more put her lips around the berry and sucked it into her mouth. Shit, she had made him hard just watching her eat.
"Monica, you do know what you are doing to me don't you?" His voice was deep and rough.
She looked at him innocently, "I was just enjoying my breakfast, Gee" Her half smile let him know she knew quite well what she was doing. When she reached for a banana he moaned.
"You wouldn't" he watched her slowly unpeel the fruit. "Oh shit you would" he couldn't keep his eyes off her.
Monica looked into his eyes as she raised the banana to her lips. She slid it between her lips taking in a small amount before sliding it back out. Her pulse raced as she watched his eyes narrow with passion. She put the fruit back to her lips this time sliding in more before pulling it out slowly.
"My fiancée is a tease," His voice sounded sexy as hell and the game was now taking its toll on Monica.
She placed the banana on the table and slowly stood. Moving over towards him he pushed his chair back and started to stand. She gently pushed him back down. Her hands parted the plush hotel robe he had donned to answer room services knock. Looking down her breath caught, he hadn't bothered with any other clothing. She parted the robe and swung her leg over the chair straddling him. Beneath her gown she wore nothing. He was so hard and ready she had no trouble burying him deep within her. His head fell back and she kissed his exposed neck. Her lips sucking the tender flesh.
"Sugar, what you do to me," He moaned while his hands began to kneed the soft flesh of her ass.
Monica moaned into his neck and began to move on him. It was good but not good enough.
Gerard stood and she wrapped her legs around him keeping him inside her. With one swift swoop he knocked the dishes off the table. The clattering dishes couldn't drown out the roar of passion in his ears. He lowered her onto the table just enough so that her legs were still around him. His hands could now caress her breasts. She saw him reach behind her and grab something that had survived the table sweep.
Opening the lid he poured the thick, sweet honey onto her nipples. Monica sucked in her breath as the cold substance hit her skin. It was cold only a moment. Gee lowered his head and his mouth began to slowly suck the honey from her nipples. His teeth gently nipping and pulling. She tossed her head from side to side uttering his name.
He began to thrust into her. Monica cried out urging, " Harder Gee. Fuck me harder."
A simple word he knew he used too often when uttered from her lips was sexy as hell. "Say it again, Monica. Tell me what you want," He continued the rhythm.
Monica was so close, "Fuck me, Gee." She cried out.
He thrust faster and harder. When she reached her breaking point he let himself go. They came together in a hot fury. After a moment he took her in his arms and collapsed back into the chair taking her with him. When he could speak again he shook his head "Shit we made a mess." The dishes were on the floor but as luck would have it most of the food dishes had lids that has stayed tight.
Monica was still catching her breath, "Yea, you did. Better clean that up, mister."
Her head against his chest heard the low rumble of his laugh, "Oh so that's how it's gonna be when we're married, is it?"
A slow smile covered her face. Married, that was what she and Gee were going to be. This all seemed like a dream.
He looked down at her, "What are you smiling about?" his tone was now gentle.
"Being married to you," she told him honestly.
His smile matched hers. "Yea, to tell you the truth I never thought I would marry. Couldn't imagine it. Man, have you changed my life."
She snuggled into him. His hand absently stroked her hair, "We need to get dressed we have somewhere we need to go."
"Where?" she really didn't want to leave this place. It has become heaven to her.
He hugged her, "You'll see" He swatted her bare behind "Now get moving woman. You shower and I'll clean up this mess. Wouldn't want them to think one of those decadent rock stars had stayed here."

David Driscoll likes to drink alcohol when he is not working at K&L. His main interests include wine, beer, and distilled spirits. Before he worked here he went to college at a decent school, got a masters degree from an OK school, worked as a waiter and taught elementary school in Chinatown. He decided to get into the wine business after reading a few books about wine and realizing that one cannot seriously learn about wine solely through reading. His career goals include: trying to convince K&L customers that he does know something despite his youthful appearance, and learning everything about everything about every single wine ever made.

Blason Isonzo Bianco (3L Bag-in-aBox) (cannot ship)
Review Date: 8-26-2008
OK, so this wine doesn't need a third review, but I can't help it! This box is pure genius because it is GOOD! If you are in my situation, which I am sure many out there are, one bottle a night is not enough and two is too many! I like a glass of white right when I get home, and then a nice bottle to pair up with my food. That means I have to open two bottles, or save some from a previous night. With this bag in a box, the wine lasts for weeks, if not months! I can come home and get my glass while I cook, then find the right bottle for dinner. I am sooooooo psyched about this. UPDATE: 6/10/09 THE BOX IS BACK!! SOOOO HAPPY!! SUMMER CAN BEGIN!
Price: $19.99
High West Rendezvous Rye Whiskey 750ml
Review Date: 8-12-2008
Who said we had to review just wine? I just remembered that I love whiskey! This High West bottling is a superb blend of two casks that the producer found in the basement of another distiller; a 6 year old and a 16 year old. The flavors are semisweet and caramel-based, but the finish is pure rye. I have to be careful when I pull this bottle out because I might get a little greedy. Then I wouldn't be able to remember how it tasted!
Price: $47.99
Franck Bonville "Prestige" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 7-14-2008
This was the first champagne I tasted when I started working at K&L and it is still my favorite, when talking bang for your buck. This blanc de blanc will grab anyone's attention with its grace and its beauty. So elegant a palate for so little a price.
Price: $44.99
2005 Château de Montfaucon "Baron Louis" Côtes du Rhône
Review Date: 5-20-2008
Southern Rhone wines (outside of CdP wines) are always a great value when it comes to a week-night dinner; maybe for Wednesday night when I only have time to grab a whole roasted chicken from Safeway. For just a few dollars more than the average $10-15 range of bargain bottles there is the "Baron Louis." It is more than just the typical Grenache-Syrah blend, regardless of what the description says. It actually has 40% grenache with almost equal parts syrah, carignan, cinsault, mourvedre and counoise. It has finesse, complexity, grace and style. That's not true for most of it's fellow colleagues. It is a true standout dating back to last winter when they actually let me pour the Rhone tasting at Redwood City. Everyone who attended thought this bottle was the best-valued Rhone wine we had. Now we have it again, thank heavens.
Price: $29.99

Voltage (also known in New Zealand as "Electro Shock") is a Mountain Dew flavor. It was the first to be chosen by fans in the DEWmocracy promotion. Its tagline is "DEW charged with Raspberry Citrus Flavor and Ginseng with other Natural flavors" and its diet version's tagline was "Raspberry-citrus Diet Dew with Natural and Artificial flavors."
- Main article: DEWmocracy
Voltage was designed by Mountain Dew fans during the first phase of DEWmocracy I, and was released over the summer of 2008 to compete with Supernova and Revolution to become a permanent flavor. In August, voting had ended and Voltage was announced the winner, holding 41% of the votes.

Diet Voltage was created in 2011 for FanDEWmonium, and was a finalist, meaning it had a limited release to stores alongside Diet Supernova. Diet Supernova was announced the winner, with Voltage holding 45% of the votes.
In 2011, Voltage was released in New Zealand, but was given the name "Electro Shock" and described as having a "charge of wild berry flavor." It is commonly mistaken to be a different flavor than Voltage, but the two are in fact the same flavor.

In the first year of Zhizheng (A.D.1341), Yuan Dynasty, Guanghua Monastery was destroyed by war. It was not until the period between Hongwu and Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-1424) that it was rebuilt to recover its previous prosperity. In 1562 Guanghua Monastery was invaded and once again ravaged by fire. During the second half of the sixteenth century, the monastery underwent subsequent structural changes and reconstruction.
In the 31st year of the reign of the Emperor Kangxi(A.D.1692), Qing Dynasty, the Commander Wang Wanxiang donated his salary for renovation and expanded Guanghua Monastery by merging it with Fahai Monastery and the Small Nan Shan Cloister after realizing the Guanghua Monastary was still in need of repair. This good deed along with others was inscribed on a stele. However, afterwards the Monastery fell into disrepair and declined over the following years. By A.D.1886, the 12th Year of the reign of Guangxu, Qing Dynasty, nothing but the Avalokitesvara Pavilion survived and only 2 monks resided in Guanghua Monastery.
In 1890, the 16th Year of the reign of Guangxu, Master Shanhe presided over the Guanghua Monastery and resolved to rebuild the ancient Monastery. After gradually collecting funds from a variety of sources, the Jeweled Hall of the Great Heroes, Parlour, Mediation Abode, Abbot's Room and Brahma-carya Hall were all rebuilt, thus creating the Guanghua Monastery that we know today. In 1910, Emperor Xuantong bestowed more than 7,000 rolls of Dragon Sutra upon Guanghua Monastery, for which Master Benru built additional Sutra Pavilion on the Dharma Hall. In 1933, Avalokitesvara Pavilion and Heavenly King Palace were also rebuilt.
Guanghua Monastery is a secluded, yet well renowned temple with over 1400 years of history.
