Starlite Drive-In
28264 Highway 22,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Starlite Drive-In was built in the early-1950's by the Sneed brothers who also owned the Hollywood Theater and the Vogue Theater, both indoor theaters. They ran all the theaters until they were sold to the Lutz family in 1976.
By this time the Vogue Theater was closed. The Starlite Drive-In was closed after the 1981 season and sat empty and decaying until it was sold in 1998 to a Minneapolis man who reopened it in the middle of that summer.
Since then, it has re-opened while restoration has been slowly progressing and 4 more screens have popped up on the property, making it now a 5 screen drive-in.

Very common name for a drive-in,thanks for the photos.
The correct name of the original builders/owners of the theatre are Fred and Lloyd Schnee. The date it opened: June 28, 1956. Here's a photo from the June 2012. http://www.shop.historical-treasures.biz/Starlite-Drive-in-Theatre-PC-PC12.htm
Above address is incorrect. The address for this drive-in was 28334 Minnesota 22. THIS POINTS DIRECTLY TO THE DRIVE-IN ENTRANCE…

Arkady & Boris Strugatsky, ROADSIDE PICNIC
The Strugatsky brothers' ROADSIDE PICNIC appeared in English translation in 1977 (the Russian original was published in 1972). Set in Canada in the near present the title only becomes clear in the second half of the book when a character explains that the strange, radiant, deadly regions scattered around the planet are the places where visiting aliens stopped for a moment and left their rubbish like the sandwich wrappers or oil-slick left by earthly picnickers. Just as our picnickers are careless of the environment perhaps the aliens have been similarly regardless of our planet; a lack of care carrying the corollary that they did not find us worth contacting during their halt.
Round the edge of the regions, which the authorities have closed off, live the survivors of what was initially a disaster. Now these towns house roughnecks such as Redrick Schuhart, a "stalker": a man who knows how to find his way into and through "The Zone". He makes a living by bringing out gewgaws, familiar objects that have become bejewelled and selling them unlawfully (today's equivalent would be "blood" or Illicit Diamond Buying). In addition to the jewels there are strange foreign objects such as anti-gravity rings, for which there is a market, yet no official use. "The Zone" is not safe, though, and Schuhart returns carrying his companion, Buzzard Burbridge, whose legs have been deboned by the alien "witches' jelly".
Schuhart tries to drink to relieve the horror of his life, but he is too responsible to drink to excess since he has a wife and young daughter, Maria, to keep. Maria was born after the visitation and is sightless, her eyes totally white. When the authorities finally send Schuhart to prison he has enough power and wealth to ensure that his family are kept in good health. When he emerges seven years later he finds that some of the items from The Zone, like the "so-sos" which act as key and power unit in a car, have been put to use, but he discoverers, too, that Maria, who has always been nicknamed "Monkey", is now fur-covered. If she is an example of the post-Visitation generations then the future must be different from anything Schuhart or the authorities know, expect or plan for. Schuhart cannot leave The Zone alone and returns with Burbridge's son, during which journey it becomes clear that Burbridge junior has become a believer in the miraculous within The Zone, and who believes that a Golden Ball left by aliens can grant any wish, including the return of his father's legs. Schuhart sinks further into despair at this hopeless aspiration but not to the degree that he cannot himself make a wish, "Happiness for everybody, free". "Free" because, of course, what has come out of The Zone at that point has come with tremendous social and moral cost. Nor has anyone any idea whether they will make sense of The Zone or the Visitation, they are still "hammering nails with microscopes".
Within a few years of publication there were a number of ways of seeing ROADSIDE PICNIC: the brothers used it as the basis of their screenplay for Andrei Tarkovsky's film STALKER, though they reduced the science fictional elements while keeping the alien artefacts and the mutating child. Not long after that, though, when the zone around Chernobyl became just as interdicted, yet just as much the result of so much promise of which nothing good could be made, ROADSIDE PICNIC proved itself another example of sf's horribly ironic prescience and therefore deserving its place in the ranks of SF Masterworks.
Note:* detail omitted from anywhere on this edition.
A reprint of the previous Macmillan US/Gollancz/Penguin edition, this time the editors have managed to miss saying it is a translation and completely omitted the translator's name. There was also an introduction by Theordore Sturgeon which has also been reduced to seven words on the cover.
In 600 words I had to miss references to other visitation literature, or even one of Joyce Grenfell's monologues. Not one of her schoolteacher ("George, don't do that") monologues - it is one where she talks about "her" party going for a drive and stopping for a roadside picnic, unintentionally revealing all the damage they are doing, and the damage they are seeing (the foam on the river from the chemicals in it, for example). Typical of the unexamined life in the 'fifties. But comparable to the underlying theme of the Strugatskys, I think.

Tina Veal-Gooch Is Thankful For Life – 28 Days of Thanks
Although some years it may be difficult to find much to be grateful about, TISD's Tina Veal-Gooch has plenty to say 'thank you' for!
Although some years it may be difficult to find much to be grateful about, TISD's Tina Veal-Gooch has plenty to say 'thank you' for!
In an era when many people worry about money, sometimes we get second chances to reshape our financial futures. Red River Credit Union's Jason Wilburn told us why he is grateful for some of these new opportunities.
We recently asked Sam Clem, executive director of Runnin' WJ Ranch, what he was thankful for this year. This is how he answered.
Insurance agent Mark Oubre has a thriving business and frequently coaches area ball teams, but there is one thing that keeps him grounded above all else.
I am thankful for furry friends, one in particular because I see him everyday at work, my good friend Ranger. We've gotten really tight over the last year.
It is obvious that Pleasant Grove High School's head football coach and athletic director Kevin Davis is grateful for a Friday night touchdown, but there's something even more meaningful in his life than the big game.
I was asked by our digital editor to do a blog about what I am thankful for during this Thanksgiving season. I'ts very easy for me to talk about what I treasure in this life.
In reviewing all the worldwide calamities and negative stories that have been published so far in 2013, I have come to realize that there are really quite a number of things to be thankful for.
Sometimes what we are most grateful for is what others may take for granted! An excellent example of this was shared by one of our advertising executives, Russ Jester.
I'm thankful for my vision, but equally as thankful that I couldn't see well at all until the sixth grade
My earliest memory of food is tasting my mother's fresh bread as it came from the oven.
Although we are all born to a family, our friends are the family we choose, the ones who bring out the best in us and who willingly stand by our side when they would really rather be anywhere else. For those friends, I am most grateful.
There are a lot of things to be thankful for during the month of November. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my grandchildren. I have been blessed beyond belief to have three beautiful grandkids and another on the way for 2014.

Kiwibank slashes one-year home loan rate
Kiwibank has today cut its one-year home loan rate by .30% from 6.45% p.a. to 6.15% p.a.
The rate cut is being promoted as a "special" and will only be held for a limited time.
Kiwibank Communications Manager Bruce Thompson said the bank was looking to kick-start the New Year with a very attractive mortgage rate. The new one-year rate matches the bank's floating rate and is aimed at both new borrowers and those seeking to refinance existing loans.
"It has been some time since there have been any significant changes to interest rates, so Kiwibank is testing the market with a cut-rate one year offer. We anticipate holding the rate until the end of the month," Mr Thompson said.

Ny Teknik: What results have you obtained from the analyses?Emphasis mine, since these statements - straight from the horse's mouth - exactly correspond my objection.
Kullander: Both measurements show that the pure nickel powder contains mainly nickel, and the used powder is different in that several elements are present, mainly 10 percent copper and 11 percent iron. The isotopic analysis through ICP-MS doesn't show any deviation from the natural isotopic composition of nickel and copper.
Ny Teknik: How do you interpret the results?
Kullander: Provided that copper is not one of the additives used as catalyst, the copper isotopes 63 and 65 can only have been formed during the process. Their presence is therefore a proof that nuclear reactions took place in the process. However, it's remarkable that nickel-58 and hydrogen can form copper-63 (70%) and copper-65 (30%). This means that in the process, the original nickel-58 should have grown by five and seven atomic mass-units, respectively, during the nuclear transmutation. However, there are two stable isotopes of nickel with low concentration, nickel-62 and nickel-64, which could conceivably contribute to copper production. According to Rossi copper is not among the additives. 100 grams of nickel had been used during 2.5 months of continuous heating with 10 kW output power. A straightforward calculation shows that a large proportion of the nickel must have been consumed if it was 'burned' in a nuclear process. It's then somewhat strange that the isotopic composition doesn't differ from the natural.

US contrasts India's 'solid' record with North Korea
"I would simply point out, because comparisons have been made to the DPRK (North Korea) and its actions, that India's record stands in stark contrast to that of North Korea," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Thursday.
North Korea, "has been subject to numerous sanctions, as you know, by the United Nations Security Council," he noted when asked to comment on India's launch days after Pyongyang's failed missile launch, despite international warnings. However, like the State Department, Carney too chose to urge "all nuclear-capable states to exercise restraint regarding nuclear and missile capabilities, and continue to discourage actions that might destabilize the South Asia region." At the State Department, spokesman Mark Toner repeated his Wednesday's formulation saying, "I think we urged all nuclear-capable states to exercise restraint regarding their nuclear and missile capabilities."
"But you're right, they did launch the Agni-V ballistic missile earlier today. So I don't have any further comment to what I said," he added. Toner again recalled that "India has been, you know, very much engaged in the international community on non-proliferation issues. They've attended both the nuclear security summits, the one in DC and the one in Seoul." "So we believe, they have a solid non-proliferation record and that they're playing a significant role internationally on the issue."
"I would just refer you to them. I think I'll let my comments stand on ." Toner said when pressed on India's launch despite the US call for "restraint".

which history?
several words and phrases come up continuously in my course on the history of lebanon — "plausible," "legends say," "if we are to accept," "infer," "supposedly," and "possibility." although the class is studying the history of a country dating back thousands of years when sources were scarce, i am also discussing the "uncertain" history we are still encountering in class now, halfway through the semester, as we reach the 16th, and 17th, and 18th century.
first off, it is important to note how difficult it is to define "lebanese history" because lebanon did not exist specifically as a proper nation-state with a history dedicated to its borders until the 1920s. instead, it fell under the rule of greater forces, whether the mamluks, safavids, the ottomans, the church of rome. you name it, lebanon's got it. therefore, the histories discussing these greater empires and regions may mention mount lebanon or cities in the area in passing, without going into much detail.
so instead, we have bits of pieces of first-hand accounts, mostly written by historians with agendas, trying to complete a mosaic that we can call lebanese history. the speculation is everywhere. you read in one book about an event which happened in the region now known as lebanon, and in the next an author argues that the other source was broadly exaggerated and the event may not have happened at all. how each sect came to be in lebanon is also widely debated, as well as the idea of lebanon as a refuge for persecuted minorities. the sources are all subjective, whether defending a faith, discussing only constructive facts, or exaggerating a legacy.
i come to lebanon from a nation that just celebrated its 235th birthday, one with a history engrained in my mind, full of facts, sources and documents. although the meaning of the history is oftentimes debated, it is at least there for one to analyze. here, we are discussing a history centuries old, where the question of when to begin the narrative still goes unanswered and other gaps are filled with mere speculation. the history, like beirut's sidewalks, definitely exists, but there remains uneven holes everywhere. it cannot be debated or analyzed because there isn't always a commonly defined narrative to begin with.
why is this history important? after all, who really cares about how the people in this region got to where they were and how they lived thousands of years ago when there are issues to be faced presently? it matters because today, there are still arguments about who is right and who is wrong. and it happens daily in class. it's important, here in lebanon and throughout the region, because with continued argument over a common history, it seems impossible that there can be agreement on a unified future.

This conversation is closed.
What working techniques do you know of, which allow access to the informational field? (no theories please)
A year ago I went to Nepal, where I met some Buddhist Lamas, who had access to the certain information, which was impossible to have access to.
One of the examples:
One of our paragliders got lost in Himalayan mountains and when Search and Rescue teams abandoned their efforts, and we lost all of our hopes after a week of grueling work, I met this lama, who told us where to look for our pilot. And we found our men. Our pilot didn't meet anyone on the way, while he was going down the mountains, for several days.
When I asked Lama regarding the source of information, he basically replied next: "All I need to do is to calm down. When i calmed down, I knew what I needed to know. This "calm" state is sort of what you call meditation. When I'm there, I have access to everything."
So, question: what real techniques do you know of, which in real life, helped you to develop your intuition / give you an access to the informational field surrounding us?

May 23 2012: You say, "Wouldn't "positive state" represent only one part of the world?"
I said, "Being in a positive frame of mind helps."
I was thinking that, when one is in a positive frame of mind, one is more likely to be relaxed and open to receive the ....(not sure of correct word for here)......impulses of information coming at you, whatever those bits of information are.
Tim Yuriev
May 24 2012: I agree, pat gilbert. I'm feeling some brain strain interacting with all these smart and positive-willed people. I'm thinkin' I should save some of my beautiful brain for some of the other ted.com conversations or other places and people in my life or for future time periods. I'm thinkin' that, when I am 185 years of age, sitting in a beautiful white, soft, hundred percent cotton and rosewood chair in a wonderful climate zone overflowing with exquisite vegetation and fun and fabulous people, I may be wanting some of this precious brain matter I may be currently very well spending friviously here on this one conversation stream with you wonderful, precise peers. I acknowledge my wonderfulness. I acknowledge my equality, in all pertinent categories of our precious beings. Happy Today,
pat gilbert 100+
May 22 2012: I can stop my mind at will, and be in this state for as long as i wish to. My intuition is there for me, but it works like a hit or miss still, sometimes.
What i'm looking for is a guidance system in the world inside me. What answers / feelings that come to me represent a hit and what represent a miss. I'm sure that this internal guidance system / map is the same for all of us.
May 24 2012: Some things to consider as guidance for understanding.
Your spirit has to roam freely. To reach that state the body has to be occupied to the limit.
Execution of a complicated task with full mastery can do the job.
Full concentration is needed up to the moment we detach from the body that in the while goes on with the task like a machine while another visual window opens just above the usual one. From that second vision you can be at any place and/or at any time past.
Some forms of meditation can stress the body up to that point but classical Indian dance could also be a method or fabricating something impossible that can only be done without failure. Juggling can be a start too to discipline all concentration. (Martial arts)
The same thing can happen sometimes under life threatening situations that can also be cultivated like jumping of heights tied to fixed ropes to survive or swimming in freezing water. This only gives moments of detachment but leaves the idea behind. People tried to nearly poison the body and all things thinkable to detach from the body and keep the experience.
I guess that a 100.000 years ago this was a natural state caused by constant alertness and regular anxiety to stay alive. Often the body was tormented by cold or bruises or raged by threats and challenges. Now we better relax and use our mind to create technology to feel safe and by doing it extinct all life from the planet or move on to ever new experiences.

Official Map Update: Denver RTD Light Rail West Line
Transit Maps reviewed Denver's light rail map way back in October 2011. We weren't too impressed with it then, and nothing much has changed with this new edition that marks today's opening of the new (aqua) West Line out to Golden.
The map itself has had to change orientation from portrait to landscape to fit the new route in, which raises the question of how it's going to fit into existing fittings on trains and stations. The new format also seems to make a lot of the labels — especially those on the underlying street grid — very small and hard to read.
The route lines on the map are still very poorly dawn. Lines that run parallel to each other appear to have been drawn individually, rather than offsetting a master line with the tools available in most illustration software to ensure accuracy (Hint: in Illustrator, this would be the Object > Path > Offset Path command). As a result, there's some very ugly and inconsistent gaps between routes in places. The curves are also generally badly drawn: the loop around the city would look so much better as a proper circular arc, while the sudden jog in the West Line at Federal Center looks positively dangerous for riders!
Finally, it looks as if the designer forgot to group all the roads together before reducing their opacity: it looks especially horrid where I-25 and I-225 intersect.
This is very much an interim map: the RTD's FasTracks program is going to expand the passenger rail system in Denver hugely in the next few years — both light rail and commuter rail. However, that still doesn't excuse sloppy work like this.
Our rating: Nothing's really changed since last time in terms of execution or quality. Still two stars.

Sins Invalid is a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. Our performance work explores the themes of sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body.
We are a night away from our opening performance of Knotting Stories Over Time and Geography, and this year is our 5th annual performance – exhilarating, exhausting, transformative, and by nature, drama. We have thirteen artists working in theater, dance, literature, film and (for the lobby installation) sculpture to create the strongest show to date. The performance arcs from histories including colonization, eugenics and medical abuse to the alchemy of healing through sex into laying the foundation for a collective claim of liberation and beauty.
As stated by participating artist/activist/historian Aurora Levins Morales in her collaboration with Antoine Hunter, "…Our history is in our bodies — what we do to breathe, how we move, the sounds we make, our myriad shapes, our wild gestures, far outside the boundaries of what's expected, the knowledge bound into our bones, our trembling muscles, our laboring lungs — like secret seeds tied into the hair of our stolen ancestors, we carry it everywhere. Our stories erupt in the dances we invent, in the pleasure rubbed from our bodies like medicine from crushed leaves, spicy, astringent, sweet…Listen with your body. Let your body speak."
We wanted to bring the Feministing community into the green room a bit as we prep for the show so a few performers shared their thoughts:
Our bodies tell stories. They tell stories of love and pain, stories of yearning and hunger; stories of infinite giving, tears and laughter. They tell stories of endless giving and forgiving. Timeless stories. Woman stories. And even when we have been silenced by ages of fear and oppression, we still dare to speak and share, to cry out loud and declare ourselves worthy of love. Despite a world that for so long denied us the right to own our bodies, we rise. We rise above myths and stereotypes to become the women we are, to honor and recognize the power of our crip female anatomy. Together we knot stories of strength and survival. We knot stories that know the forever of womanhood in the geography of our bodies.
– Maria R. Palacios
Today I woke up at 6 am so I could go swim a half-mile before coming to tech rehearsal. Feels so good to use my body, wearing my new swim foot and flippers and snorkel…It's good practice for my performance, an underwater sea world where I am a singing mermaid. I came to my sound check this morning all happy and ready and then immediately ran into tech issues, my loop pedal was completely not working and the tech people were saying I might have to buy a new one. But then, oops, it was just a weird tech brain-fart and everything is fine. Emotional roller coaster. We just did our body check-in circle which I think should be mandatory for all performers at every show ever – it's not only crips who have needs related to shit going on with our bodies. It makes me feel closer and more open and able to be present in my work. When there's space for the deepness, then I have more room for the feel-good chit chat and excitement and nervous togetherness.
– Nomy Lamm
Why does it feel so exhilarating eating fresh food and stretching with other crips in a scent-free green room? Because we are all here for Sins Invalid! It is no exaggeration to say that it has changed my life, being part of this activist and performance project centered in the embodiment and movement building power of disabled artists breaking it down around connections between race, gender, sex (this stuff is hot), bodies, class, family, history and ancestors. Seeing people with disabilities on stage, expressing ourselves fully with rich artistic skill, never fails to make me cry. I think it is just such a relief to see us finally, as we were meant to be… beautiful, powerful, and together.
– Ellery Russian

Nestled in the hills of Shenzhen in southern China, stands a factory that churns out smartphones day and night. Migrant workers labor for fourteen-hour shifts, six days a week. Most welcome the overtime, which is usually paid. Components stand around in cardboard boxes piled around the edges of the factory: MediaTek chipsets, touch screens, 8GB of flash memory, and a generic black plastic case. After assembly, the device will be flashed with a modified version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich that's stripped of all traces of Google and pre-loaded with about forty Chinese apps. One ChinaDroid is ready for sale.
This is the future of smartphones in China, and the most important development in China tech in 2013. Unlike our previous predictions at TechRice, Weibo in 2011 and Weixin in 2012, this isn't an Internet service. But it's a critical gateway for Internet content providers. And unlike our previous predictions, this one really matters outside of China.
Moving From Samsung to Oppo
Lei Zhang, the CEO of Tapas, described a cycle for each new generation of mobile phones in a talk one year ago. First, foreign brands establish the market. Second, Chinese brands rise to the top. Third, hundreds of small no-name Chinese manufacturers take over the bottom and middle of the market. Zhang sees this pattern in dumb phones, feature phones, and now in smart phones too.
The first transition, from foreign brands to to local brands is underway. Lenovo is predicted to overtake Samsung as China's best-selling Android brand this year.
The second transition into no-name devices is coming on even stronger. 'Other' now accounts for 39% of Chinese Android page views on Baidu properties, and growing. Analyst Benedict Evans writes: "'Other', the swarm of over a thousand small manufacturers making generic devices with (mainly) Mediatek chipsets, is squeezing all the branded OEMs and pushing prices down relentlessly." These devices are not high-end, but most aren't shanzhai either. They're not knockoffs of the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. They're selling a generic, commoditized version of the Android smartphone. They'd like to sell their own brand, but they don't have to: Android is the brand (although the Chinese consumer's image of Android is very different from an American's).
In China, new phone = Android. With entry-level Android smartphones priced at 500 RMB (80 USD) and dropping, smartphones will soon be the only phones sold in China. And Android now accounts for about 90% of smartphone sales in China, according to Analysys.
Moreover, China is sprinting ahead of the rest of the developing world in adopting smartphones. In 2013, Canalys forecasts 240 million smartphones in China. That's over 3X the forecast for the rest of the 'BRICI' members (Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia) combined (78 million)! And that's a conservative forecast for China–IDC forecasts 301 million shipments, which means China would account for a full one-third of the global total. It's China, and the rest of the world.
When Yaping Liu, the lead of our product team at Wandou Labs, visited factory workers in Dongguan he found that their dream device isn't an iPhone. Nor is it a Samsung Galaxy. It's the 2000 RMB Xiaomi, although for most it's just a dream: they can't afford it. Even among those who have the cash, most don't the time or the savvy to nab one in the few minutes before Xiaomi's scarce supplies sell out. Instead, they buy a device from a no-name manufacturer at about half the price.
The ChinaDroid supply chain also has big implications outside of China. All of the big foreign brands do their manufacturing in China, meaning that components and expertise are concentrated in this country. Even the Aakash, the first "made-in-India" tablet, was largely made-in-China. China is truly the world's factory for smartphones and tablets.
And now China's moving up the value chain. In developed markets, big Chinese brands like Lenovo, Huawei, and ZTE are now selling directly to consumers. Huawei is the world's third-largest seller of smartphones, behind only Samsung and Apple. It'll take years of sustained marketing to crack developed markets, but could eventually bear fruit.
I'm far more bullish still about Chinese brands selling to consumers in the developing world. Consumers there are first-time smartphone buyers, for whom the only resonant brand is Nokia. And while Nokia dickers around with Windows phone, their market evaporates.
Most have never heard of these smaller Chinese brands like Oppo and Livall, and G'Five. Many avoid the ultra-competitive domestic market altogether. But they're selling millions and millions of Android smartphones and tablets in the developing world. Benedict Evans writes: "These devices are like dark matter: everyone suspects there are a lot of them, but no-one quite knows (publicly) just how many. I've seen credible people claim it could be well over a hundred million units in 2013. Possibly much more."
Hardware as the Gateway to Content Delivery
There's a fortune to be made in hardware sales. Just ask Samsung. But these devices are a critical gateway to an even bigger prize: content.
The value of content consumed on Android devices will explode in the coming years. It'll start with in-app purchases in games and ads viewed while browsing, but it'll soon become the terminal of choice for e-commerce and the decision point for offline retail purchases too. That's why Amazon sells its Kindle devices at such a low price: it can make much more on content sales than the device itself. And that's why all of China's Internet heavyweights like Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, and Qihoo are now partnering to build their own smartphone. Especially those that don't yet have a strong entry point onto the smartphone (here's looking at you, Baidu and Alibaba), will try to buy one by releasing their own subsidized devices or paying other manufacturers to pre-load their apps. Google absence has created fierce and chaotic competition to control content delivery channels in China.
Just as they do at home, Chinese manufacturers will start replacing Google apps on devices bound for the developing world. Rather than paying a license fee for Google's suite of apps (Gmail, Maps, Chrome, etc.), these manufacturers want someone to pay them for pre-installs. Benedict Evans asks: "How many of these devices will have Google Play? How many users will install Google Maps? How many will come with a third-party web browser (from Tencent, say), one or two of the dozens of major Android app stores operating in China, or Amazon's app store?" Expect to see Android devices in Jakarta, Addis Ababa, and Tehran that experiment with alternatives to Google apps.
Say hello to the ChinaDroid.

Plagued Dreams
Once again my dreams were plagued by the woman i have been chasing. Not nightmares, not fantasies, just me spending time with her. Two people talking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. It's funny how dreams work. Scientists say that we dream over a thousand dreams a night. But i know for sure that last night I only had one dream: Her.
I woke up several times, expecting her to be next to me. She was not there, and then i remembered that i was "just dreaming". This would go on to happen a couple more times. I always wish for dreams of me slaying monsters and riding into battle, and great victories with my brothers and sisters in arms, but i am not granted my wish. I am granted visions of something that will never take place. My head tells me that i need to get over it. My heart still clings to a smaller glimmer of hope that isn't there.
I am an island. (I tell myself) I don't need a woman to settle down and be happy. (I tell myself) There is no woman out there that I want to be with. (Except for the one I can't be with) For once, I am happy that this blog doesn't have a lot of followers. I never really wrote to inform other people, but here i write to clear my mind, and maybe her memory will leave me.
This morning I wake with a sad and broken heart. My dreams seemed so real. This isn't a plea of a man's lustful fantasy. I am not talking about sexual needs or wants. I am talking about a man's simple desire to spend time with the woman he loves. Time spend with the woman who makes me smile and feel something inside this heart that grows cold.

The choice
Waking up is a tough choice. Every morning we are tasked with tasks, and every morning we choose to live up to our potential.
Why wake up? Things will just be hard. Why work hard for no reason. No I should stay in bed.
Wake up. Make the choice to better yourself. Nothing worth having in this life comes easy. You gotta do the work! I should just get out of bed and start living.

A very well done video was aired showing Mohamad Ali Vaez and Michael Hayes in training for their match tonight. Vaez was working out in a gym, Hayes was training outdoors, lifting tree limps overhead, one legged and all. This was great stuff.
6. Michael Hayes beat Mohamad Ali Vaez w/Josette Bynum with "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero as the special ref
All Vaez for the first several minutes here. Hayes had Vaez up for an electric chair, but Vaez got out of it, and hit his neck breaker finisher. Vaez held Hayes in a Camel Clutch for a long time. The Pope finally had to pull Vaez' long hair to get him to break the hold when Hayes made the ropes. Around this time in the match, Kenny Bolin literally fell asleep briefly at the announce desk. Gilbert Corsey looked less than thrilled with him. I've seen Bolin sort of nod off before, but he was really nodding off here. A bunch of geeks ran out, but Pope knocked them all off the apron. After that, Hayes had all the momentum, and hit his finisher from the top rope for emphasis, which is a version of the Code Breaker, to get the clean win over Vaez. Vaez shoved The Pope a few times after the match, so Pope leveled Vaez with a big uppercut. Is this close to a year feud between Vaez and Hayes finally over? A good chance of it, but I've thought it was over at least twice before too. This match was decent, with big crowd reactions for Hayes as usual, which of course big crowd reactions always make a match seem better too. Hayes attracts people in that don't otherwise watch pro wrestling, so their reactions to certain things are interesting. I still think Hayes came back way too soon, would have meant way more if they would have waited until the summer, but pro wrestling isn't known for patience, especially if some tickets can be sold for something now. The Pope was fun to watch, and he seemed to legit be having fun out there, but it still made no sense why he was involved in this match at all. He lives in Louisville, and I guess was willing to make an appearance, so that's where they stuck him.
7. "Smooth" Johnny Spade beat Rudy Switchblade w/Josette Bynum to win the OVW Heavyweight title
I'm a proponent of having the title match go on last, but I think an argument could have been made that this should have preceded the Vaez vs Hayes match. The crowd was fairly subdued early on here, but both Spade and Switchblade seemed fairly subdued as well. Not much intensity coming from either guy in the early going, and they seemed to be casually talking to each other a lot, so much so that some casual fans around me even noticed it. The ring apron proved to be a dangerous place to be this match as Spade dropped Switchblade down hard with a slop drop off the ring apron. Switchblade then backdropped Spade off the apron to the floor. Spade missed an attempt at his Swanton finisher in the ring. Both guys played the "let's use each others finishers" game as Switchblade hit a superkick on Spade, and Spade caught Switchblade in a Boston Crab, which Switchblade refers to as "The Wake up call". The crowd was getting more into this match as it went along. In a spot I've never seen before, Switchblade loosened a top turnbuckle pad, and Spade ended up getting his arm caught in it, and was stuck in the corner. Switchblade tried to hit Spade with a chair while he was stuck, but Spade kicked the chair back into Switchblades face. Referee Chris Sharpe finally had to remove the top turnbuckle pad to free Spade. Switchblade's unusual treachery backfired on him yet again, and fatally, as he went in to the exposed turnbuckle pad, and Spade then hit Switchblade with a superkick to win the bout, and the OVW Heavyweight title. Spade has been around OVW on and off for 14 or 15 years, so he was legit emotional over winning the title. The ring filled up with babyfaces, and the celebration was on. The crowd was happy and into the title change. Spade has been pushed as the top face around here lately, so I figured he'd win the title here, and he did. Spade went thru an 8 man gauntlet on TV a few weeks ago to earn this title shot. One of the babyfaces in the ring celebrating the title win was Jamin Olivencia. With his show opening battle royal win for a title shot, Olivencia will now face Spade for the title on Match 18th in a very interesting babyface vs babyface match.

Had to fix up a site recently and it was using two floating columns that broke when clear:both was used in the main column. There are better ways to do a two column layout – but just in case … reminder to self …
1. Float container.
2. Use "overflow: auto" on the container.
3. Use "after".

This one-hour PowerPoint program by local historian Leon Bey is a survey of notable Dayton-area architecture from a layman's point of view. However, professional advice was sought from local architects in selecting the buildings featured in this program. Years from now, this presentation will be a snapshot of architecture existing locally in 2013. We'll include the Newcom Tavern plus the venerable 1850's Old Courthouse of outstanding Greek Revival Architecture; but what about the remarkable cut stone blocks of the 1878 Cooper Block saved by local activists from the landfill along with the stunning 1886 Lafee Building that could have had the same fate? Other examples include Dr. Walter's home, Dayton Bicycle Club, The Engineers Club, Dayton Woman's Club, UB/Knott/Center City Building, Kuhn's Building, Arcade, Algonquin Hotel, I. M. Pei Building, Schuster Center, Old Post Office, both Y's plus many more.

D.C. Councilmember Jim Graham says he is not resigning. Earlier this week, the D.C. ethics board found evidence that Graham violated rules when it came to a lottery contract deal. But at the same time, the board said it was dismissing the case.
"I never promised a quid pro quo that I can recall," Graham said. "Some people may have recalled it, others don't recall it. I don't recall it ever happening. But even if I did, there was no crime."
Graham says it is time to put the issue to bed.
"Let's be very clear about this, no law was broken," he said.
Meanwhile, Councilmember Tommy Wells sent a letter to Council Chairman Phil Mendelson asking that he establish an ad hoc committee to look into Graham's actions.

Really good chicken - picky teenagers even liked it. This is the second time I've made it - last time I also thought the chickpea salad was a little bland. This time I added some fresh dill and a dash of garlic and a couple of teaspoons of white pepper to the oil and vinegar dressing, and I chopped the onions instead of slices, and added some choppped cucumber. I poured the dressing over the salad and let it sit in the fridge while I grilled the chicken. It was better and had much more flavor.
