Baltimore's 100 best bars [Pictures]
Baltimore's nightlife scene is a reflection of its people -- extremely eccentric, but just as endearing. We put personality at a premium, and expect good value, too. So while we're happy to visit D.C. for the occasional swanky escape, given the choice, we'd take a cold Boh in a Baltimore bar nearly every time.
But which one? Ask 100 Baltimoreans their favorite bar and you'll likely receive just as many answers. That's because it's a diverse, forever-evolving community, susceptible to rising trends (craft cocktails, beer-snob hang-outs, sophisticated wine bars), but firmly committed to its long-standing haunts and dives. Last year, we broke the overall top bars list down into Top 10s (best places to go dancing, best places to meet singles, etc.). But this year, we stripped the signifiers and tackled the city's scene head-on. Raise a glass, and let the debates begin. --By Wesley Case

No. 30: Townhouse Kitchen + Bar( Gene Sweeney Jr., Baltimore Sun photo / September 19, 2012 )
A sports bar with an industrial chic look, Townhouse plays a perfect foil to neighbor RA Sushi's boisterous, music video-like atmosphere. It's appropriately sleek for Harbor East, but the sharp design isn't overcompensating for shortcomings. In fact, Townhouse boasts one of the more impressive draft lists in the neighborhood. A prime place for a date, especially when both want to watch the big game.

Visual language of Malaquias Montoya
It was standing room-only for the people who came to hear Malaquías Montoya speak about art, life, protest and language Wednesday evening at the Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento. The crowd spilled out the door onto 19th Street and included UC Davis students, CCAS members, artists and activists.
An electricity filled the room as voices rose and fell. Current and former students proclaimed they are all fans of Montoya.
Curator Xico Gonzáles served as the evening's host, leading the audience in a welcome applause before speaking about Montoya, under whom he had studied.
Montoya stepped up, without a microphone, and asked, "Why do we do the things that we do daily?"
He answered that question through sharing stories from his life. Montoya's stories resonated with the audience, who sometimes laughed, sometimes remained silent, and always listened.
The artist begins to surface
Montoya recalled reading about Dick, Jane and Spot in elementary school readers, and he said the stories and their lives made no sense to him.
"The dog in my neighborhood didn't look like Spot," he said.
While that elicited some laughter from the group, when he spoke about being placed in a special class, the audience became quiet. Montoya spoke about labels placed on children, sometimes because of their names, accents, or clothes. His mother said the class would be best because he would receive attention.
"All we did was use glue, scissors, paper, and once a week the teacher wrote on the blackboard. The rest of the time, we'd draw or color," Montoya said.
In that class, Montoya's "artistic self began to surface."
"I realized that I was someone people looked to. I gained pride, self-esteem."
Earth, crepe paper, inner tubes, and tires
In the early '60s, Montoya began working with silkscreen, cutting stencils and doing design. He recalls asking his mother about the family home and where, if they had no money, she found the money to transform the home with stencils, decals and paint.
"My mother married at 13, and when my father was working, she'd play. She went to the arroyos, scraped layers of earth, collected berries and brought back some white rock. From these, she'd create (paints) and gesso. She'd collect all of the crepe paper from celebrations, bring it home and put it in water. The crepe paper bleeds, and she'd use that to tint the earth colors."
The decals and stencils were created from inner tubes from which Montoya's mother cut designs and placed on thick cardboard.
"She made little printing blocks," he said.
She cut apart old tires, dipped those in paint and printed on the walls.
"We're born creative. We're little geniuses," Montoya said, adding that outside influences try to take that away from us.
A new way of learning
Two years after beginning work with a printer, Montoya enrolled in a commercial art class and found the education more positive than his earlier college experience. He already knew a great deal about silkscreen printing, and he knew that the professor had not given students all the information available, so Montoya supplemented the instructions.
"The students were excited. The teacher was angry," he said.
Montoya was told he was not good as a writer and that he was not good at drawing. He was referred to Professor Joseph Zirker at San Jose City College, who told Montoya there was nothing wrong with his drawing. Zirker became Montoya's mentor and friend, and Montoya recalls that Zirker was compassionate and sensitive, traits Montoya had applied to artists in his early years.
Montoya continually dropped his English classes when the first assignments were handed out. He enrolled in what was then termed "bonehead English" and was told that his work was fine.
"I'd buy new pencils, binders, a dictionary. I thought they would make a difference," Montoya said.
He pursued self-hypnosis.
"I am going to do it," is what he said.
Montoya would not simply try. Determined to succeed, he wrote his paper, turned it in, then waited. He wanted a grade, wanted to read the comments, wanted not to fold the paper and put it in his pocket. On the day the papers were returned, Montoya's was read (aloud) by the teacher.
"It was the beginning of a different way of learning. We all have different ways of learning."
Montoya entered UC Berkeley in 1968, against Zirker's recommendation, who feared the university would change Montoya's work.
"I found school very difficult," he said. "The type of work I did – didn't call it Chicano, political – was of cotton pickers who looked Mexicano. Some called it outdated, archaic. I visited studios of the professors. One was drawing squares of color in the manner of Rothko."
That type of drawing did not offer the means to express what Montoya wanted to say.
Toward a Mexican identity collectively
Montoya spoke about José Clemente Orozco, a Mexican socialist painter; Diego Rivera, known for his murals focusing on history and humanity's future; and David Alfaro Siqueiros, a social realist painter whose works were about redefining Mexico.
"(These works) gave Mexico a new face, pushed the revolution that had happened," he said. "(The artists) worked collectively to give us a Mexican identity. Collectives were geared toward workers to develop a strong working class. Younger artists wanted to be more individualistic."
CIA as curator
The U.S. Information Agency, the CIA and multinational corporations were interested in the changes in mid-twentieth century Mexico.
"Rockefeller and others went to Mexico to change the artwork," Montoya said.
Jose Luis Cuevas was invited to show his art in New York, which caused a rumble in Mexico, Montoya said.
"The U.S. wanted to push the school of muralism back," said Montoya.
The murals of Orozco, Rivera, and Siqueiros raised the consciousness of the Mexican people, and that meant it was difficult to make business deals in Mexico.
In this way, art becomes a commodity, and artists create in order to sell their product.
"Art is a language for people to feel and understand," he said. "When that is taken away, you lose."
Chicano art today, validation, and memory
A question-and-answer session followed Montoya's lecture.
To a question posed about Chicano art today, Montoya responded that there is much "so-called Chicano art," that the corporations have bought into it, but the Chicano artists have lost their edge and have become good grant writers.
"For a lot of people, it's even worse today than back then. We believe it."
When asked if there is organizing to do, Montoya said, "It has to be done. Artists have to remember."
Montoya spoke about the piece that attracted the attention of many attendees, "Memories," created with two other pieces in 1992 on the quincentennial of the arrival of Columbus to this continent. The three-piece set denounces the atrocities committed against the indigenous people by Columbus and invading Europeans.
"It talks about how many died," Montoya said.
He read the words printed across the top: "My memory will retain what is worthwhile. My memory knows more, about me than I do; it doesn't lose what deserves to be saved," from Eduardo Galeano, a Uruguayan journalist and novelist.
"What is it like to not be validated for your work?" another attendee asked. "Where do you seek your validation from?"
Montoya told a story of walking into a class one day and seeing his name written across the board. The teacher brought him to the board and, erasing the letters of his name from back to front until only three letters remained, asked "What if we call you Mal?"
His validation came from Zirker, and it came from César Chávez, and it came from the Chicano movement, out of which came newspapers.
"We were reading about ourselves. That validated our own bilingualism. It was power. I was validated by my community. We wanted to stop the war in Vietnam. It's hard to instill in students today because of the diversions," Montoya said, referring to iPod earbuds and shopping malls.
"They are allowed to wear raggedy clothes, to shave their heads, in a sense of freedom, instead of looking at what's around (them)," he said.
The audience remained throughout the entire lecture.
"That is just what I needed to hear," said Jen Cimaglio, Sacramento artist and activist, "I have work to do."

"Best Decision Ever. - Etobicoke, ON"
As I got older, a large bump on my nose started to grow and I absolutely hated it. Rhinoplasty was always something I wanted to do but since I was younger, I never really considered that option. Now that I'm a bit older, I was able to start looking into surgery. It was something I wanted to do for myself regardless or what anyone else thought. There aren't any surgeons in my area who... more
"Amazing & Natural Rhinoplasty -..."
I have always been dissatisfied with the appearance of nose; I had a prominent hump and a droopy undefined tip. After much consideration I decided to take the plunge and get a consultation. I was referred to the Mississauga Plastic Surgery Clinic by my doctor. I immediately felt at ease with Dr Ahmad; I felt he understood exactly what I wanted and I trusted him. He is incredibly meticulous and... more
"So Happy with my Rhinoplasty Results..."
Dr. Ahmad performed my septo-rhinoplasty 7 weeks ago and the results have been super thus far. I still look like myself -- this was very important to me -- and my nose doesn't look 'overdone', which was something Dr. Ahmad stressed at our consultations. He likes to achieve a natural-looking result and I am so glad I chose him over the other surgeon I consulted with. My new nose is overall... more

The analytical discussion of acousmatic music can benefit from being based on spatial concepts, and this article aims to provide a framework for investigation. A personal experience of soundscape listening is the starting point, and uncovers basic ideas relating to the disposition and behaviour of sounding content, and listening strategy. This enables the opening out of the discussion to include source-bonded sounds in general, giving particular consideration to how experience of sense modes other than the aural are implicated in our understanding of space, and in acousmatic listening. Attention then shifts to a source-bonded spatial model based on the production of space by the gestural activity of music performance, prior to focusing in more detail on acousmatic music, initially by delving into spectral space, where ideas about gravitation and diagonal forces are germane. This leads to concepts central to the structuring of perspectival space in relation to the vantage point of the listener. The final section considers a methodology for space-form investigation.

Miss Universe Contestants Hiroko Mima and Anya Ayoung-Chee Star in Hardcore Sex Tapeby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Carrie Prejean truly has a reason to believe in God now.
The former pageant queen has been briefly bumped out of the sex tape spotlight.
It's been revealed that a pair of 2008 Miss Universe contestants - Miss Japan and Miss Trinidad and Tobago - take center stage in a hardcore three-way sex tape with a random professional photographer.
TMZ reports that Hiroko Mima (Japan) and Anya Ayoung-Chee (T&T) are the beauty queens in question; both competed in the 2008 pageant.
Said a Miss Universe pageant rep: "This was apparently eight months after the pageant and neither were the reigning titleholder. The photographer is NOT a Miss Universe staffer so we have nothing to say or any involvement ... thank goodness."
** UPDATE: The man in the video is named Wyatt Gallery. He admits that he banged Ayoung-Chee and another woman on video, but that the latter was NOT Mima. He says:
"I feel horrible and embarrassed for Anya, her family and myself ... because this was a private moment that was never supposed to be made public... This was an intentional, malicious sabotage against Anya and her career ... and I feel stupid for not deleting the files off of my computer."
There is nothing wrong with sex. Sex is fine. But just as people are free to have sex, the rest of society is free to form opinions on other's actions, especially when those involved have asked for public attention. Once you ask, you don't get to choose which parts of your life people pay attention to. To expect that is childish. So yeah, she's free to have group sex, and I'm free to think of her as trash for doing it. Am I perfect? No, but I expect others to judge me when I do something sketchy, too. Works out nicely. Don't want people looking down on you? Don't do the deed, or at least don't record it. Idiot.
Wyatt blames the computer technician for releasing the tapes. Wyatt, we are not that gullible...WE KNOW YOU DID IT!
i jus want say i had a one night stand and am very lucky .........
Yah, hot sex. She blows good and takes it up her a$$ too. Yum.
it disgusts me at the treatment of Ms Anya Ayoung chee that a video she made for her own private use should be released and sent from pervert site to pervert side. What a violation that this is allowed and this young women is allowed to be violated this way and have lewd rude commnents made about her in public. In trinidad sex is a private affair not a public one. The people looking at these tapes and spreading it ARE NASTY PERVERTED SICK MORONS who need a life.
What you all are doing is tantamount to rape by spreading this video, please show some decency
at the end of the day, d tape wasn't made for public scrutiny. it really doesn't matter if ayoung chee is from the suberbs or the ghetto or anywhere in-between. It is a horrible mess that could've happened to a 1,000 others. A whole heap of ppl will act disgusted, but what r they up to behind closed doors? Whose property are you sleeping with? The pastor, the minister, the boss wife.... the list goes on....
ooh gosh!!! she is human too she made a mistake because of her dumb boyfriend,anyway that tape was sopposed to be personal so it's not like she did it for money. Hope she stays strong and her love ones comfort her, time will heal every thing
Lame excuse!!
he knew he was takin his computer to fix why the f&*% didnt he delete it first....everybody knows he did it on purpose...and to beside the girl is human.,..dont yall have sex?????????????????????????????????????????wtf!!

Sheriff's deputies have arrested a teen believed to have been armed in Hocking County Thursday.
According to the Hocking County Sheriff's Office, a 17-year-old boy was involved in a domestic altercation with his girlfriend at a home near Lake Moor Village and Blosser Road.
The teen allegedly assaulted his girlfriend during the altercation.
Deputies say the boy then ran into nearby woods to avoid apprehension.
Deputies and canine officers were searching the area for the teen.
The teen was found hiding beneath a bridge, east of Mingo Park, shortly before 10 p.m.
An Ohio State Highway Patrol air unit located the teen after a tip was received on his possible location, according to deputies.

This place is dirty with hazards. Several light covers are broken throughout the building. Broken wooden pallets lay in the play yard, which is always overcrowded. You never know who'll be caring for your child. No continuity of care. Music is extremely loud in the infants room. It's not kid's music. It's the local radio station that the room supervisor chooses. Lunches are provided by the parents. If kids don't eat all their lunch, staff eats their left overs or it's given to other students. I've seen staff lick baby food off utensils & put the dirty utensil in the baby's mouths. When I pointed it out to the staff, she told me it was no big deal because 'mother's do it all the time'. I went to the manager, and was told that 'it would be looked into'. It occurred again the following week. I felt like I was being mocked. I've been asked to give various medications to students. Parent's fill out a permission slip to have the medicine administered, but I've not received any training on giving medicine to kids! I've witnessed staff speak disrespectfully to students. If they spoke to adults this way, they'd get punched in the face! I quit my job here cuz it's horrible!

As the years wear on I've come quite slowly, quite reluctantly especially of late, to the admission that I am getting older like everybody else, that I'm not immune to age. Did I think that by ignoring my ascending numerals I might dodge the dilapidation of the body and slow creeping away of the follicles? I've discovered why older men wear corduroys. It's to hide the general inflation of belly and an extra yard on skin droop, invested in with years of good lunches and dinners.

Is the Bible 'Enough' for Church Growth?
- Tuesday, August 05, 2008
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- I have been privileged to pastor a number of wonderful churches filled with godly men and women who love the Lord. I have learned numerous lessons from those with whom I have been privileged to serve. One evening I learned an invaluable lesson about the sufficiency of Scripture from a layman who was my visitation partner.
We were following up with a home visit to a couple who had expressed interest in joining the church. The woman and the man had filled out visitor cards with the same address but with a different last name. The gentleman was not present, and the young lady was a bit nervous during our visit. It was obvious she was concerned about her present living conditions and wanted a little free counseling. My friend indicated that we would be willing to stay as long as necessary to help her deal with issues of concern but that she first needed to answer a few simple questions to help him determine whether we could be of help.
I listened intently as he patiently asked the following three questions:
- Are you certain that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? She responded "yes."
- Do you believe that the Bible is God's Word and is sufficient for all our needs? Again she responded in the affirmative.
- If I show you truth from God's Word that deals with the issues that concern you, will you obey them immediately and completely?
My friend did not elaborate at this point, but the lady began to exclaim that we wouldn't understand. She pointed to her financial need and loneliness. My friend listened patiently and then started again repeating the three questions.
The implication was obvious. If we pointed her to Scripture which she confessed to be a "sufficient guide," and she refused to obey God's Word, we had no other advice to give her. It would be like going to the doctor and refusing to follow his prescription.
While you might smile in agreement, let me pose a question: "Is the Bible sufficient for church growth and health?"
I'm not suggesting that we don't need to organize for Bible study and outreach. God is not a God of confusion; He works through orderly strategy. But do we really agree with the Apostle Paul that it is "God who gives the growth" (1 Corinthians 3:7)? And if it is God who actually causes true growth, it only makes sense that we find His design for these matters in His Word. We face the temptation of relying too heavily on the next model, method or marketing strategy to grow our church, rather than looking primarily to Scripture for our growth strategy. I believe that if we search the Scriptures and apply their emphases, we will experience the growth and health the Lord desires. Consider these points with me.
God's Word - In Overcoming Spiritual Myopia
As I have indicated in earlier articles, I am convinced that a primary obstacle to church health is our spiritual myopia which generates apathy. Many Christians behave as if the church were established to meet their needs and to keep them comfortable and entertained until Christ returns. I refer to this as the "Love Boat Syndrome." We behave as if the Ship of Zion is the Love Boat. The role of the captain and staff is to entertain and cater to the needs of the passengers while they enjoy a pleasurable cruise to Glory. Everything is fine as long as the food is sufficient, the music restful, the waters calm and no one moves my deck chair. But in reality, the Ship of Zion is a hospital ship and there are no deck chairs on a hospital ship!
So if we are going to cultivate healthy, Kingdom-focused churches, we must challenge this myopic apathy. There is no program and no method which can overcome such apathy. I resolutely believe that nothing changes anyone's mind and attitude except the Word of God applied by the Spirit of God. Thus, the beginning of changing any church must begin with our knowledge of, and obedience to, the Word of God. This singular conviction has been the guiding strategy of the entire Empowering Kingdom Growth focus. All of the EKG materials are designed to be concentrated studies through which God's Word changes the heart ("EKG: The Heartbeat of God"), transforms the thinking ("Eternal Impact"), and provides the resources ("Making Change") through understanding and obedience to God's eternal truth.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Women vie for top-jockey title
Baze, Stianson would make Downs history
A short time ago, Vicky Baze discovered Crock-Pots, instantly changing her life for the better.
She wouldn't go so far as to say the discovery was an epiphany, launching her into an all-new spiritual direction. What she did say, however, was that it sure makes life a lot easier for her and her husband Gary, both of whom are jockeys at Assiniboia Downs and share the confined space of a motorhome.
"After 20 years, I cannot believe I've just discovered a Crock-Pot," she laughed. "We just take a roast like it's a football, fling it across the room and it lands in the Crock-Pot. When we come home after the races, dinner is ready. It's like having a private cook."
Regarding the close quarters of their motorhome, "it hasn't really been that difficult," Baze said. "Gary and I are great companions and the motorhome has everything we need. The beauty of it all is less housekeeping, and for girls, that's a big deal."
Baze, along with Janine Stianson, Alyssa Harder and the new kid on the paddock, Janine Smith, are the women jockeys of Assiniboia Downs. Heading into tonight's races, and with only six meets remaining, Baze and Stianson find themselves locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the leading jockey title. In addition, either one would make Downs history as the first woman to win the title if she is sitting on top of the standings when the last race of the season is done on Sept. 26. Standing in a solid position to thwart both women is last year's leading jockey, Larren Delorme, who isn't about to roll over and give up.
Following Wednesday's card, Baze led with 63 wins. Stianson, who rode the first two months of this season with an asterisk beside her name while finishing off her apprenticeship, is second with 62 and Delorme is third with 60.
Baze, 46, is a veteran and handles the limelight well. She has already carved out her niche as one of the top women jockeys in North America. She plays down the leading-rider angle, but make no mistake: Every time the gate opens, Baze has one thing on her mind, and that is winning.
On the other hand, Stianson, 28, finds herself in a dilemma of sorts. She would prefer to fly under the media radar, as she considers her private life off limits. "The more I have to do with the horses and the less I have to do with the social end of it, the happier I am," she said. However, this Yorkton dynamo, who cut her teeth racing quarter-horses in Alberta, has created a star persona for herself that isn't going away any time soon.
After all, when you win the first four races on opening day of the Downs' 50th anniversary in 2008, leave midway through the season due to fines for whipping infractions and finish the year by winning the Sovereign Award as the nation's top apprentice jockey, people tend to take notice.
Add to that the fact that she has seven stakes victories this year (two on quarter-horses), and it's getting even harder for her to keep a low profile.
Harder and Smith are both apprentice riders. Harder, however, is five months pregnant with her second child. She left midway through the season so she and her 21/2-year-old son Amar could live with her parents in Stephenfield. "I'll be back first thing in May next year," she insists. When she pulled up stakes, she had four wins.
British Columbia rider Smith got her first three rides here on Aug. 11 and broke her maiden on Aug. 13 while riding chestnut gelding R. Fast Favourite. "The horse ran great," she recalled. "I was really happy to win for Tom (trainer Gardipy), since he was the one who encouraged me to come out here." Heading into today's race card, Smith's record stood at three wins.
Before coming here in mid-August, Smith spent three-and-a-half years galloping in Edmonton, Saskatoon and Lethbridge, as well as in the United States. Though not a religious person, she knows the risks involved in horse racing and wears a St. Christopher charm around her neck just the same. "A lot of the riders have one attached to the back of their helmets, and Tom (Gardipy) puts one on all of his horses' bridles. We all have somebody watching us out here, and I do believe there is something bigger than all of this, right? There's got to be."
"It's very easy to get infatuated in the world of horse racing," said Baze, who does live a faith-based life. "Yes, we want to win -- it's our livelihoods. But there are a lot of things going on outside of our world, so I try not to be so dominated and narrow-minded about myself. The biggest outlet for me is my relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord is what keeps me grounded."
Being a jockey is not your 9-to-5 job. "When we're racing," said Baze, "we go to the track (around 5:30 a.m.), have coffee, gallop horses, come home around noon, take a shower and a nap, and then we go back to the track. Sometimes by the time the last race runs, we get home, make dinner and unwind, gosh, it's 2 a.m. by the time I get to bed."
There are only six days of live racing left, including the $300,000 Super Stakes weekend tonight and Saturday.
Stianson and Baze have some serious riding to do as they turn into the stretch.

Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Hi there everyone!
I am coming into this rather late but I would like to take a stab at it anyways.
My initial concept was a person jumping out of flames but then I kind of thought about a birth of an ideal rather than the cliche of a cliche (robots, pregnant things, plants). I will be posting a speed sketch then some refinement within the next hour. Thanks people, this is going to be one of my quickest.
Ok, It took me 15 mins or so to jot down the proportions, spacial issues will be fixed. I thought about the scenery in Bionic commando. She obviously won't be topless but she will be very feminine, possibly wearing a care bear shirt, she doesn't really need the camouflage since she's been on her own and her 50 caliber automatic is the law. She likes to go into one on one combat where she can glomp on other "friendlies" with her kitty boots. Her shin guards are a special compression kevlar resistent to just about anything, she has week ankles. She wears her favorite gardening glove in her right hand because it weeds out the bad ones and she wears her ring over her other glove to remember she knew love until Pink-Day happened. A plume of pink chemical agent swamped the world, made in an American lab to kill insurgents. Called smart gas, it killed humans with negative thoughts and black hearts, too bad it got us too. Emila stands for the shred of sanity left within herself and the warrior awoken within her. She is a newborn to the new world. A dark and dead mud ball.
Yeah, its rough but some cool ideas would be indulged. I was thinking of putting a child under her leg to show that she was more of a civilian rather than a soldier in the know.
Well I worked on this for two hours to get the idea right. I was thinking of adding an animal and some children. Holding on to her legs. I want to emphasize the space of the city and its destruction.
Ah, ok so the care bears shirt backfired since the 50 cal is in the way but I'm going through palette ideas. Since I started with a light blue, my palette will consist of bright colors and cool darker colors. I will be blocking in the sky and defining the background. I will then block in the children as I get back to the woman.
Here I simply blocked in some shapes and fixed the perspective. I need to make the barrel of the rifle longer and the flag was a bit much, maybe a small kerchief. I have been drawing a couple of kids and I can only think of the kids from Les Miserable. I will post the new edited comp.
I'm cutting it close. I had two 12 page essays for English, 1 test for Econ and 1 test for chemistry. I am working 16 hours in two days so I hope to finish soon.

Vote of the week: Epcot's Future World vs. Epcot's World Showcase
Written by Robert Niles
With the 18th International Flower & Garden festival kicking off this week, I'm thinking about Epcot.Tweet
Epcot's always felt like two different parks to me, which makes sense, I suppose, since it so obviously was inspired by the "World's Fair" model - corporate pavilions often focusing on new and emerging technology mixed with international pavilions celebrating countries from around the world.
But which one do you prefer: Epcot's Future World...
...Or Epcot's World Showcase?
That's the vote of the week.
Thanks again for reading Theme Park Insider, and remember, we are just one week from the start of the 2011 Theme Park Insider Tournament!
Readers' Opinions
From 188.8.131.52 on March 4, 2011 at 11:45 AM
how can I make that choice love them both lol
From Jack Curley on March 4, 2011 at 12:37 PM
I went with Future World because that's where most of the rides are, but it's still a killer choice. I don't think I would pay to go to a park that was just the World Showcase, but I wouldn't enjoy Epcot nearly as much if it was just Future World.
From 18.104.22.168 on March 4, 2011 at 12:40 PM
That's a tough decision. I based my choice of Future World on the fact that it has more rides. That's my only complaint about the World Showcase. Each country should have some sort of ride/attraction beyond shops and restaurants.
I will be at the Dolphin in 15 days! I can't wait!
From 126.96.36.199 on March 4, 2011 at 12:51 PM
The World Showcase is definitely my favorite, being an Air Force brat and having traveled the world, seeing it in Disney style is very cool. I do, however, love The Seas with Nemo and Friends and Soarin'. Such great innovation and story telling mixed into one awesome ride.
From 126.96.36.199 on March 4, 2011 at 12:52 PM
You mean EPCOT has something OTHER then the World Showcase?
The World Showcase is amazing and Future World is useless. There's nothing worthwhile up there aside from Soarin'. If the park was reversed geographically I don't think I'd ever even make it into Future World.
I don't think anyone would shed a tear if they closed Ellen's Energy Adventure and Journey into Imagination...
From Daniel Etcheberry on March 4, 2011 at 1:09 PM
I voted for World Showcase because:
1) The Mexican pavilion is so atmospheric with the nighttime town, and the restaurant next to the boat ride and volcano.
2) The movie at the French pavilion is so dreamy with that beautiful and inspiring music. Also, the sights are gorgeous.
3) The American Adventure show at the American pavilion has great animatronics of Ben Franklin and Mark Twain.
4) The restaurants!
5) The Maelstrom ride at the Norway pavilion; short but fun.
6) The beautiful girls that work at the Norway pavilion.
If every country had a ride, the World Showcase could be its own theme park and my favorite of them all!
From Derek Morse on March 4, 2011 at 1:55 PM
I chose World Showcase for the simple reason that it hasn't really strayed much from what I remember as a child. Future World has closed too many of the classic atractions such as Horizons that I loved as a kid and ruined Journey into Imagination. World Showcase, on the other hand, while short on attractions, still has that same charm I always remember it having.
From Joshua Counsil on March 4, 2011 at 1:58 PM
World Showcase, though I find both go hand-in-hand. I love spending a few hours in Future World in the morning. There are a couple of great rides (Test Track is highly overrated, though), beautiful theming, and lovely music. By about noon, I'm ready to travel the World, enjoy some regional food, watch live performances, and people-watch on a nice bench with a cool drink.
From Tim W on March 4, 2011 at 2:36 PM
Future World has some of the best and most thrilling rides at Disney, it def beats the World Showcase, which could be like 100 times better!
From James Rao on March 4, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Like others have mentioned, I love both areas of this great theme park. However, there is no doubt that more than 70% of my time at Epcot is spent in the World Showcase. Would I like to see a few more attractions in this part of the park? Of course, but that desire does not diminish the unique experience currently offered.
My vote: World Showcase.
From David L. on March 4, 2011 at 5:18 PM
After thinking long and hard about it, i have to say Future World. World Showcase has amazing themes but lacks rides and attractions. Future world has really good themes and a variety of attractions. Spaceship Earth alone is better than All of the rides and films in World Showcase. The many other rides and attractions outweigh the amazing mini cities and the American Adventure.
From Anthony Murphy on March 4, 2011 at 5:39 PM
It depends! Personally, I think its a great park!
FW has the rides, WS has the food and entertainment.
I voted for FW, but I love WS
From Raul Araoz on March 4, 2011 at 6:25 PM
Fifteen years ago, I would have unquestionably chosen Future World. Horizons, World of Motion, Journey Into Imagination and especially the Jeremy Irons version of Spaceship Earth, were without question my favorite Disney rides. Never a line. Richly-detailed. Lengthy and all-encompassing. I couldn't get enough of the place. World Showcase felt spartan in comparison. It was the place to go for dinner.
After the brainiacs in management decided to turn everything unique about Future World into another thrill park with long lines, short experiences and minimal visuals, I have to change my preference to the Showcase. Now, keep in mind. I'm not particularly fond of the complete and utter lack of growth in WS. It has been 22 years since a new country has been built. I mean Reagan was still President for Pete's sake. However, that area still has that special charm that always made Epcot special from other theme parks.
From Sean Campbell on March 4, 2011 at 9:57 PM
i chose world showcase because, i like walking around and seeing the different pavillions. World shocase has spaceship earth tho. Soarin isnt that cool because i live in california and i always go there at disneyland. I want it to be special when i go to florida no the same old thing from disneyland.
From Tony Perkins on March 4, 2011 at 9:59 PM
Dining is of course much better at World Showcase, but Future World has much, much better rides and attractions. One of the main problems at World Showcase is the conspicuous lack of top-shelf rides. And too many of the attractions are simply films. I can eat at good ethnic restaurants anywhere, but not get those amazing rides just anywhere. Until World Showcase gets some good E-tickets, it's Future World by a mile, not even close.
From Andy Stevens on March 5, 2011 at 4:53 AM
Over the years, World Showcase has gradually improved, no new countries, but gradual improvement in those that're there.
Future world on the other hand hand was left to go to seed. Spaceship Earth found itself in the odd position that, what was meant to be a look at the future, was overtaken by current technology.
There is new investment though.
Journey to Space suffered due to unfortunate incidents and has been toned down, which really is unfortunate as the original ride was epic. I also noticed that Exxon are no longer sponsoring Ellens Adventure, another onetime good ride that now needs work and updating.
Soaring is doing well and Spaceship Earth has a new sponsor and facelift.
It's somewhere where Disney imagineers could get busy and do something worthwhile.
But, and it's a big 'But', they have to keep on top of it. As , Spaceship Earth being an example, technology is moving so fast that looks at the future will quickly become looks at the past.
From Terry O'Neal on March 5, 2011 at 6:46 AM
I voted for Future World because of Mission Space and Living with the Land. I have never gone to a theme park to eat. I go to ride.
From Larry Zimmerman on March 5, 2011 at 6:58 AM
I voted World Showcase, but that's only because it enables two of my favorite adult pasttimes in settings that can only be called legendary -- eating good food and drinking adult beverages.
If they had an area for my THIRD favorite pasttime, I'd be even HAPPIER...
Riding roller coasters, that is.
From Raymond Sydowski on March 5, 2011 at 8:28 AM
Here's my confession: Epcot is the least of all Disney parks in my mind.
As a kid, I found it boring. As an adult, I also found it boring. It just seems like a trade show, and I'm not a Circlevision kind of guy. I voted for the World Showcase for two reasons: 1. If I'm dining in the parks for a good sitdown meal, I'd want to be somewhere in the world showcase 2. Illuminations, and Holiday Illuminations in particular.
From 18.104.22.168 on March 5, 2011 at 9:21 AM
Well I had to go for world showcase....It's the only place I know where you can get bombed in multiple countries all in one day!!!
From Nick Markham on March 5, 2011 at 6:58 PM
You can't neccesarily compare these two areas. World Showcase has almost no attractions but has amazing architecture, and Future World has many amazing rides but isn't all about the "architecture". I chose Future World as it has more attraction and the buildings do look cool.
From Tyler Stover on March 5, 2011 at 7:26 PM
I had to give it to World Showcase, but by a very small margin. Future World has some great rides, but lacks that Disney atmosphere. World Showcase is well detailed and has some of the better food at Walt Disney World.
From Flavio de Souza on March 6, 2011 at 6:22 AM
I am astonished by the fact that so many people chose WS. Although I agree with the coments that 15 years ago FW was much better, I always thought that it was a no brainer that FW was the best and WS just a nice complement.
Perhaps it is a cultural issue, a fake Italy or France don't appeal to me and I am always expecting modernity when I travel to USA.
But both are great, and both needs some work to improve.
From 188.8.131.52 on March 6, 2011 at 7:31 PM
Future world has far more attractions and the architecture is more unique. World showcase is a bit to much plastic fake stereotype focused. For the most part, world showcase just lacks attractions.

With Soarin and Test Track I ALMOST went with FW. Probably if I thought long enough I would change my mind but instead I voted WS, I think it is due to the change of pace it offers my family. Usually we are moving show to ride to ride to show briskly and WS allows us half a day to slow it down, have a variety of foods and a beer for myself at the beer garden or pub before heading to the fireworks. Honestly I used to bypass most of FW except for Test Track since it was all too old and unintersting to me however we were down there last fall and spent quite a bit of time in FW but the nostalgia of WS won out this time.

A Goodbye Letter to My Childhood Kitchen
Life in the Kitchen
About four years ago I packed up all my things, sold most of my furniture, loaded up a U-haul, shoved my cat into a travel bag, and headed north. After spending years in Los Angeles it was time to go home. Literally. My husband and I were headed to the exact spot where I did most of my growing up. My parents had since moved out, and they graciously allowed us to rent my childhood home from them.
I was headed back to sit under the same oak tree I did as a kid, make spaghetti where I learned to make spaghetti, and show my husband all the corners where I was encouraged to take a timeout. I could show him the treehouse that my dad built for us and the sliding glass doors in my room where I was always convinced I would be kidnapped from. Oh, the memories.
It felt good to be home. It was quiet. There was so much space. I walked back into my childhood kitchen and it felt like I could breathe again. The light that flooded in from the windows was enough to still my city-dwelling heart. I could see my favorite oak tree from the bay window by the sink. The apartment we had called home in L.A was dark and had a very tiny kitchen. If my husband and I wanted to cook together we had to side-hug while doing it. The cabinets never closed because of the layers and layers of thick paint, and every now and then a black widow would crawl out of our sink or descend from the vent above the stove. Let's just say being home felt good. Really good.
I settled in. I got nostalgic. I started cooking and I couldn't stop. I started a blog. I started to write about food. That kitchen inspired me and brought me back to life. It gave me a career. It was a safe non-judgmental space (even when I burned toast or set off the smoke detectors). It reminded me how much I love to feed people. It reminded me there are stories in the food we eat and the food we share together. It gave me the space to invite over my grandmother and let her teach me to cook chop suey and how to roll sushi. It cooked us Christmas dinner and several birthday cakes. This kitchen knew how to party.
I know it's a cliche to say that the kitchen is the heart of a home, but this one really was my heart. This space was living and breathing, fueled with memories past and present. It knew all my stories. It knew me.
So, when I found out that my parents had chosen to sell the house, I cried. It might not be what you'd expect from someone who is almost thirty years old, but the loss of this house felt like losing my best friend. There was sobbing and palpable grief.
There was a day where I sat on the cold tile floor and had a conversation with this kitchen space like a legitimate crazy person. I told it what a good kitchen it was. I told it I would miss it and that my heart hurt. I told it to never forget me. We started talking about kitchen memories. All the times my mom and I made Christmas candy. All the pots of soup that were simmered when someone was sick. That time we made a giant Hawaiian feast to feed over 200 people for my high school graduation. Casual mornings with eggs and some toast.
I briefly apologized for all the dishes that we broke on its toes, the broken bottle of liquid smoke, and those times we forgot to put the lid on the blender. I told it that I loved it. In that moment I think we high-fived each other. I think the kitchen was crying too. It felt like it. Seems right.
This was supposed to be a goodbye letter to my kitchen, but when I write it all out, there seems like there's really only one thing to say to my dear friend. Here's that letter.
Dear Kitchen,
Thank you for everything.
You were loved.
You helped me find myself.
I will think of you often,
Have you ever had to say goodbye to a place you really loved? I'd love to hear your stories.

I loved this. I understand how you feel. Thank you for sharing.
Best line of the whole post may be, "... sat on the cold tile floor and had a conversation with this kitchen space like a legitimate crazy person." Homes have a soul, we leave something of ourselves in them, so no, you're not crazy. One day, my parents will sell my childhood home, and I will probably have a similar reaction. It will feel like an empty shell without all my dad's artwork everywhere. It will probably feel smaller.
thank you for sharing your thoughts - this was beautiful.
I can totally understand how you feel. My parents renovated the house after the kids moved out and my mom got a brand new kitchen. Even through the new kitchen is much more beautiful than the old one, I almost cried when I saw it. It just didn't feel like home anymore.
The kitchen is where my family always gathers when we're home and I feel the same as you about it. My parents are getting older and I know some day I'll have to write the same kind of letter to my childhood kitchen. Here's hoping that a lovely family occupies that kitchen and builds as many wonderful memories as you have.
I felt the same way when I sold my house in Austin. I tried not to make it too sad for my son who was ten at the time. We buried toys in the yard for the new owner to find and I left two champagne glasses in the kitchen cabinet. I was crying when I swept out the kitchen floor for the last time. When I left, I whispered 'goodbye.'
What a lovely tribute to the heart of the home!! I am sure you will carry its spirit with you.
What a beautiful post!
This was so lovely it made me cry. I never had the same attachment to my childhood kitchen. But as I read this, I thought, she is so fortunate to have such lovely, soul strengthening memories. Not only should the kitchen be thanked, but also your parents for giving you the gift of wonderful childhood memories which will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing.
I'm surprised you didn't buy the house.
I am torn - right now I own two houses. My childhood home is one (and my son is renting it from me). The house I bought with my late husband and where we raised that son is the other. Both are miles (75 one way) from my job.
The logical thing would be to sell one or both, but..... but..... how do you sell your heart place?
Thank you for showing me that I am not alone in this joypain of loving a house.
I totally get it. And this post made me cry.
Thank you for bringing back my own kitchen memories.
Very sweet! It was so hard when my mom sold our childhood home. But now it gets to be a place for another family to make new memories!
Love your post -- truly beautiful.
Love the tree, love your beloved kitchen.
So... I have to ask -- how come you didn't buy the house??? (have lots of friends who have bought their parents' homes)
I couldn't have let it go...
This was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Donald Harington is a local author (northern Arkansas) who wrote a fabulous novel (With) that included a character called an "in-habit". The in-habit is essentially a little piece of your soul that never is able to leave a loved place when the rest of you has had to move away.
I loved that concept. My last home, a 95+ year old Foursquare that we renovated, probably has a little in-habit of mine in it. Perhaps this kitchen will retain a little piece of you.
Sounds like a typical hallmark movie. Girl moves back to her home town and reflects on her past.
@Karen_Fe Same thing happen to me!
@emw1 My guess is that she couldn't afford to buy the house. I grew up in a metro area and my parents nothing-fancy house is now out my price range just because of location.
So sweet; thank you for sharing. The main house I grew up in has been demolished now, but I still have dreams that take place there. Amazing how powerful places are.
Beautiful. My parents sold my childhood home and moved halfway across the country when I was 20 years old. It was a bitter experience for me, but at one point I visited a friend in that neighborhood and got to meet the family that bought the house. Seeing their dog waiting to be let in at the back door just like my childhood dog did soothed my heart and reminded me that this would be a good home for someone else, too.
Lovely lovely letter and tribute to your childhood kitchen! When my grandparent's farm was sold after being in our family for many generations, I went back to take pictures of the almost two hundred year old house that was my first home too. That kitchen was where I learned how to cook and had nurtured and fed so many people, seen so much life...it felt like such a betrayal to me then, to turn this place over to others. I am still grateful for growing up there but the loss only gets stronger now that I know truly what our family gave up.

Huge Update on CM Punk's Injury Status; Many Officials "Not Happy" With His Backstage Segment Last Night
Found March 19, 2013 on Wrestlechat.net:
PLAYERS: Paul Bearer, The Undertaker
Credit – Wrestling Observer CM Punk has been pulled from all live events until WrestleMania 29 for a number of reasons including him being physically banged up. People, including Punk, are still downplaying the arm injury that he suffered in the RAW match against Kane last week. WWE officials want him fresh and ready for the big match at WrestleMania 29. Speaking of Punk, there were a lot of people not happy with his backstage segment at last night's RAW where he juggled around Paul Bearer's urn to taunt The Undertaker. The feeling was that it wasn't as good as the Punk-Bearer-Taker stuff from the week before and that this one was bad for WWE and just bad in general. On a related note, it's said there is some kind of issue between Punk and WWE creative right now but we don't know what those problems might be.

Today's average low is 39°. Our forecast of 37° isn't that far below average.
Some valley locations, especially to the north and east of Lexington, will deal with frost tonight. The Frost Advisory runs from Henry County to Woodford County to Laurel County to Bell County, and across all areas north and east of that line, from 2 AM to 10 AM, late tonight and into Tuesday morning.
Despite a cold Tuesday morning, the daytime weather will be very pleasant, with a high near 63° today and 70° on Tuesday afternoon.
Enjoy this nice stretch, and bring those plants in (or cover them), if you've started early at your place.

What I'm worried about is how will they handle the action bar issue?
Shoehorning a new ability onto someone's bars doesn't work in every situation -- it may end up on Bar 2 or 3, a place normally hidden. How will a player be alerted that a Symbiosis ability has been granted to them? And how will they have quick access to it? Will macros or Power Auras be a requirement?
Something granted by Symbiosis will likely be an ability you'll want to use quickly, or at least tactically... the UI isn't really set up well for this. It can be done, sure, but not elegantly. Sounds like an idea that's awesome on paper and not altogether great in execution.

text: Adventures in intersection design Submitted by Geoff Green on February 8, 2013 - 9:19am (Cross-posted from my blog at geoffgreen.org) Meadowmont is a neo-urban neighborhood in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was designed with a mix of uses and is trumpeted as a walk-friendly community, with sidewalks along both sides of the street and a network of greenway trails. (It was also designed as a station for a light-rail line, but that's a different story.) During the approval process, Meadowmont's developer emphasized its "pedestrian orientation for working and living." So you would hope that the design of the sidewalks, roads and intersections would consistently reflect the importance of access for people traveling on foot. Alas, you would be wrong.

Islamabad - It is not often that some 150 of India's top corporate leaders visit Pakistan. And when that happened last week, led by Commerce Minister Anand Sharma, it had the desired impact.
He was also the first Indian trade minister to visit Pakistan in more than three decades. Islamabad attached a lot of importance to the visit -- Sharma's host and Pakistani counterpart Makhdoom Mohammad Amin Fahim was at the border to receive him.
Realising the potential the two sides hold for bilateral trade -- estimated now at $2.7 billion officially, and some five-times more routed through third countries -- they decided it was time to move ahead and make it easier for at least commerce to flourish.
Given the long history of conflicts and distrust, there were no expectations from either side of an overnight change in relations. But the beginning was good -- visible during the meetings between business leaders in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.
"Ours is a history of missed opportunities. We certainly don't want to leave behind the same environment for our children," said Sharma.
"This is, indeed, a big step forward in normailising business relations between two neighbours," the minister told IANS here.
The visit was a high-point of the slow but steady progress that was being made over the past 10 months to strengthen trade and business ties beginning with the secretary-level talks in Pakistani capital, and another round in New Delhi.
An important outcome last week was Islamabad's commitment to grant most-favoured nation (MFN) status to India by the end of this year -- which will pave the way for Pakistan to import four-times many more items from India.
India granted a similar status to Pakistan in 1996.
"We have prepared a roadmap -- a roadmap we are going to have a very good business and economic relations with India," Pakistan's Commerce Minister Makhdoom Mohammad Amin Fahim
said, adding easier business visa and import norms were a part of this agenda.
The five-day visit, which also covered Pakistan's commercial capital and port city of Karachi and Lahore, besides Islamabad, gave an opportunity for people to see one of the largest "India Shows" and attend several business conclaves.
The business delegates were visibly pleased by the outcome at these meetings.
"It's not peace that leads to trade -- but it's trade that leads to peace," said R.V. Kanoria, president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci).
Some of the tangible results were:
- Commitment to finalise by next month easier visa norms
- A dedicated Attari-Wagah gate by April 30 to facilitate movement of goods
- Look at export of petroleum products to Pakistan by Indian refineries
- Promise to look into investments by Pakistani businesses in India
- Look at reciprocal possibilities of Pakistani and Indian banks opening branches
India's trade with Pakistan is just 0.5 percent of its total global trade. This is a far cry from 1947 when the two nations gained independence. India's trade with Pakistan then accounted for nearly 60 percent of its global engagement.
"As neighbours, we should be natural trading partners," Sharma said adding this was reflected in the large volume of informal trade the businesses of the two sides engage in through third countries and illegal routes.
"There is no official figure but informal trade would be probably five times more," said Sharma, referring to actual recorded figure of $2.7 billion in 2010-11 in which exports from India were valued at $2.3 billion and imports at around $400 million.
Looking forward the next few months are going to be busy, going by the commitments made. Officials from Indian and Pakistani central banks are to meet in Mumbai early next month to finalise the modalities for opening bank branches on reciprocal basis.
The first meeting of the expert group on trade in petroleum products will also be held in March in New Delhi to facilitate the export of transport fuels to Pakistan. There will also be a meeting of working group on trade in electricity in Lahore next month.
The commerce ministry also told the Pakistani side that it has already requested the finance ministry to consider foreign investment from Pakistan and bring about all the necessary changes changes in the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
On its part, Islamabad said it will move from a positive to negative list on items of import from India -- which means, only those items that are banned will be listed and all the other products can be freely imported.
These were not outcomes that can be brushed aside, business leaders said. Even the joint statement issued by Ministers Sharma and Fahim said reflected the business and political leadership of the two sides had lent their unequivocal support to normalising ties.
Indeed, as the statement said: "Accompanied by more than 100 business delegates, this visit marks a historic moment for both the countries."
