St. Mary's County is scheduled to get a new 12-screen movie theater next year.
St. John Properties, owner of 140 acres across from the Wildewood Shopping Center in California, announced Friday it has a letter of intent from R/C Theatres to build the 45,000 square-foot movie theater in the Lexington Exchange project now under construction.
The Baltimore-based theater is anticipating the opening of the 2,400-seat movie complex by the third quarter of 2014.
"The deal is struck with the movie theater," Jerry Wit, senior vice president of marketing for St. John Properties, said Friday morning. "It's going to happen."
R/C Theaters intends to construct and operate a state-of-the-art movie theater with wall-to-wall movie screen and high-back, rocking chair stadium-style seating, St. John Properties said in a statement.
Lexington Exchange would be the 10th location for the movie theater company, which operates 72 screens throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Virginia. R/C Theatres was founded in 1932.
"R/C Theatres fills a pressing need in the California/Lexington Park marketplace, and attracting an entertainment use was among the top priorities in our leasing strategy," Wit said the statement. "Multi-screen cinema complexes are high-traffic uses that bring immediate and long-term visibility to real estate projects, and provide excellent marketing opportunities for the entire tenant mix."
"It's obviously going to be a major anchor for their retail component," said Robin Finnacom, acting director of the St. Mary's County Department of Economic and Community Development.
"We consider the California/Lexington Park area an emerging demographic market that will support our high-tech theatre model," Scott Cohen, president and CEO of R/C Theatres Management Corp., said in a statement. "The area has demonstrated retail strength with the presence of several national chains and the population is projected to continue its significant growth in the long term."
St. Mary's County has had one movie theater with six screens in Lexington Park since it opened in June 1986.

A new planet has been discovered recently by researchers at the University of Central Florida.
The planet, named UCF-1.01, is 33 light-years away in the constellation Leo the Lion. While scientists have been able to confirm that more than 700 exoplanets (planets outside of our solar system) have been found since 1995, many of them have been much larger than Jupiter. This new planet, however, may only be 5,200 miles across – about two thirds the size of Earth.
The planet currently orbits a star called GJ 436, and researchers at UCF have spent the last year watching it to confirm that it was indeed a distant planet. UCF-1.01 is not quite a hospitable planet for humans, as researchers calculate that it whisks around its host star in 1.4 Earth days and at a distance of about 1.6 million miles; Earth is about 93 million miles from our sun. Temperatures more than likely exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit which raises the probability that the surface of UCF-1.01 is molten (covered in lava) and any atmosphere would have been boiled away long ago.
Still, there are many things scientists don't know about UCF-1.01 such as its mass and physical appearance, which are difficult to calculate due to its distance. As it stands, technology is a long ways away from determining the answers to these questions, so it may be "light-years" before we know more about this astonishing discovery.

Tyler Deric and Dominic Kinnear share their thoughts on the CONCACAF Champions League draw that grouped the Dynamo with Panamanian side Árabe Unido and W Connection of Trinidad and Tobago for the 2013-14 tournament.
Full Name: W Connection Football Club
Founded: 1999
Location: Marabella, Trinidad and Tobago
Stadium: Manny Ramjohn Stadium
League: TT Pro League
Championships: TT Pro League (4); FA Trophy (3); First Citizens Cup (6); CFU Club Championships (3)
CONCACAF History: 5 appearances; 2002 First Round, 2003 First Round, 2007 Quarterfinals (first round of competition), 2009-10 Group Stage, 2012-13 Group Stage
How they qualified: Group 1 winners in Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship (Two group winners and one playoff winner enter Champions League)
Record vs. Dynamo: This will be the first meeting of the two clubs, and the first Caribbean team the Dynamo have faced in the competition. W Connection have faced MLS sides twice in CONCACAF play, losing 3-0 on aggregate to Kansas City in the first round of the 2002 tournament and defeating the New York Red Bulls 4-3 on aggregate in the 2009-10 preliminary stage.
Full name: Club Deportivo Árabe Unido
Founded: 1994
Location: Colón, Panama
Stadium: Estadio Armando Dely Valdés
League: Liga Panameña de Fútbol (Panamanian Football League)

How they qualified: 2012 LPF Apertura Champions
Record vs. Dynamo: 0-1-1; The Dynamo faced DAU in the group stages of the 2009-10 Champions League. The first match, a 1-1 draw in Panama, was marred by five red cards and two power outages. The return leg in Houston was much kinder to the Dynamo, as they powered to a 5-1 victory. It wasn't enough for the Dynamo, however, as Árabe Unido advanced out of the group stage along with Mexican club Pachuca.
Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis and goalkeeper Tally Hall spoke with the media following Houston's 3-0 loss to Santos Laguna in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series.
Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear spoke with the media following Houston's 3-0 loss Wednesday night in leg two of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series with Santos Laguna.

Further proof people with debate any subject to death!
Anyway, here is the answer to the question that you asked: Axle is 28" wide. A 10" diameter air-filled tire sits outboard of the measurment I gave so that means the entire set-up is about 36" wide. The axle is 1/2 material (I would go at least 5/8 if I were making it). My daughter rides with this set-up. She is big for a 4 year old. The bike is a Honda 50 with adjustable throttle so I have it dialed down to limit the danger and my running. Here is the most important part of the message if you are still reading: The guys selling these on the internet say that they bolt right up (they do) and don't affect anything (total Bull Sh*t). The axle WILL interfere with the rear brake lever and limit or prevent safe usage of the rear brake. To correct this, I took a piece of 5/8 rod and welded it to the bottom of the axle where it travels under the brake lever. Then I ground out a notch in the actual axle allowing the brake lever to follow its proper travel without limitation. I don't have full travel of the lever, but you can adjust the drum brake at the wheel to take up some slack and have a rear brake again.
Have fun.
PS. I like the post on counter-steer.

Check this site out for ideas...
The speeds at which these bikes will be traveling makes it unlikely that they will counter steer anyways. I would also look into getting a remote kill switch rather than chasing a runaway xr50.

I honestly dont believe that a motorcycle of any type is suitable for any preteen. So many deaths over the years because of misuse on ATV's and 2 wheelers. Yes a remote kill switch is a good idea for sure.
I started riding at 14 on a Honda XL125. Crashed that alot of times before I figured out how to actually ride it safely. Now 37 years later have owned a multitude of bikes, even lost my licence a couple of times. Just sold off my Honda Rune, and my Texas Chopper earlier, in favour of a bigass Jet boat.

respectfully , I disagree, Started on a rupp minibike, progressed much farther, then I turned into a teen ager.
One thing you do need to take into consideration, does the kid have the wiring... balance, comon sense with respect to braking distance and negotiating turns and road hazards.
Training wheels, that just flat out makes me nervous.
If you are thinking of puting a remote kill switch, I would really be asking myself, why exactly am I puting this kid on this vehicle?
If you are SO uncomfortable that you need remote control,,,, step slowly away from the switch, and find another hobby.
If the kid has balance problems, put them in a kart, or something else.

I think you may be overthinking this a bit. Training wheels are used to teach throttle control and braking while in a quiet, flat area where turning is not an issue. The remote kill is used to keep someone new from falling off and sending the bike careening off into someone else. Usually once starting and stopping are mastered, the wheels come off. As does the kill switch and you have a happy two wheeled post toddler.

Everyone learns different. I had training wheels on my bicycle. By the time I was on a minibike, all I had to learn was throttle control, it was the only new variable, was about six, I think, a long time ago would have to ask dad.
do believe in what ever works. but solid bicycle skills first, then motor bicycles is how I learned.
Course we did not have the hp or suspensions they have today.
Bottom line, if its your kid, do what you think is the right way to teach them.
my opinion, why would you want in the back of your kids mind that someone will step in and save them if they get in trouble? in the world of bikes where people leave us every day, because of bad decisions or being in the wrong place at the right time, things happen not all of them good.
again my opinion, teaching your kid the cost of their decisions is as important as teaching them to ride. This was how I was raised, and have come to agree with my pop as time has passed.
Some times I wonder how my ma and pop stood back and watched us take off on the bikes and wait for us to come home. We rode in the national forest in northern wisconsin. They had a certian faith in us and how things work. And, I have to agree with them, made me what I am today.
When I started on the rupp, was a small confined area, the throttle was limited, couldn;t reach / work the brakes, so that wasn't an issue.
Dad was probably thinking, if I could live through my brother and his friends pulling me in a ball bearing wagon from my grandpa, behind two bicycles, flipping over, getting dragged, I could probably handle a minibike in a controlled situation... Course everyone grows up different.

TRSTEK has it right folks, no matter what you think is the right way to teach your kid anything, someone will disagree, so unless they are bleeding after everything you have ever done with them,. then you are prolly doing alright and you should doing things how you feel you should. Slap some wheel on the bike, and send the kid flyin' through the mud. Have fun and good luck.

In part I of this column, I showed how common open-top vapor degreasers can fail if used with solvent blends. The reason is the vapor produced from most binary solvent blends becomes enriched in the most volatile of the two components. If that vapor escapes from the degreaser via any means, the bath becomes depleted of that most volatile component and the composition becomes a pure component that is the least volatile.

It is very unlikely that many newly developed cleaning solvents will be introduced in the coming years. The reasons include: the costs are too great; the expected return is too small; and limitations of chemistry make the chance of success in providing a perfect solvent too low. Other than those reasons, we'll all be developing new solvents. Yet that doesn't mean those doing solvent cleaning will have to make due with currently available and occasionally imperfect offerings.

The efficacy, convenience, and cost effectiveness of vapor corrosion inhibiting (VCI) packaging products have made their application for rust control almost universal in automotive, machine tools, aerospace, electronics, power generation, and the military. As with all industrial chemical products, however, the increased usage of VCI products has also raised significant scientific interest as to their health and safety.
02 November, 2004
The use of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) within the metal finishing industry presents two generally unrecognized health and performance problems. VCIs have been used to prevent corrosion since World War II yet have had little risk analysis. Although many of the benefits of VCIs have been published, VCIs' darker side is only now becoming known.

11Soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 12As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother's only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. 13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep." 14Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, rise!"15The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen among us!" and "God has looked favorably on his people!" 17This word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.
I was speaking to...well, to one of our church members about today's text, a resurrection story, and they said, "not to sound anti-religious or anything, but stories like this one sort of creep me out." That set me to thinking, "what is it about this story and ones like it that might creep us out."
Well, I think a good place to start would be the line, "The DEAD man SAT UP and START TO SPEAK!" As far us most of us are concerned, that just isn't supposed to happen outside of TV shows like Lost.
But in the Bible, it happens no less than 10 times. People who are supposed to be dead, people who's lives are supposed to be ended, getting up and going on with life. Endings that aren't endings. Most of us just aren't comfortable with that and neither were the people who witnessed the resurrection in this story. Their first reaction wasn't amazement or celebration or joy. No, it creeped them out...more specifically, the text says that after the dead man sat up and started to speak, "Fear seized all of them;" well, of course it did! There's a dead man talking!
We probably would have had the same reaction, it's probably part of why that person told me stories like this creep them out, dead people are supposed to stay dead...of course they were creeped out. In our scientific world, endings are final.
When you think about it, the things that scare us, disappoint us, bother us, and sometimes offend us the most are not actually the things themselves, but rather, it is partly about how those things represent an ending to us…and our human instinct is to react negatively to endings. Endings seem so final. Which may end up being why biblical resurrection stories like the one we just read are so important.
Some endings, some deaths are the obvious ones - we loose loved ones, an important relationship ends, an institution that was significant to us closes its doors, a building where we worked is boarded up. Beyond the sadness connected with the permanent absence in our lives, there is also a part of us that morns the ending itself.
Then there are the endings, the deaths that are less obvious to us – like when things change. We are not just upset about the new way of doing things, we are, in part, morning the ending of the way things used to be. When we are not able to achieve a particular goal, we are not just upset about our inability to attain the aspiration, we are, in part, morning the death of the self we believed could achieve those goals.
When you think about it, the things that scare us, disappoint us, bother us, and sometimes offend us the most are not solely the things themselves, but also how those things represent an ending to us…and our human instinct is to react negatively to endings – they just seem so final.
We don't like endings, dying. We avoid them (pardon the pun) "like the plague." The funny thing is… death is an important part of life. The truth is, parts of us are dying all the time. Since I began this paragraph, you probably lost a million cells or so. We all lose about 100,000 cells per second. Death is an important part of life. In some ways, like with our cells, it is only in dying that we live.
In today's text we see a real life parable of the power of life over death that comes through God. A widow's only son has died. A widow's only son. Much like we might feel at times of loss, be they actual losses or perceived losses, this woman is utterly alone. In her day-and-age, the things that probably gave her life the most meaning are gone, the things that gave her life...well, life were dead. At the very least, spiritually, her life seems over.
The lesson in today's scripture though isn't about endings, it is about beginnings. Specifically, it is about how to find new beginnings in endings, how to find new life in death.
Examples of new life through death surround us in the world that God created. Looking at God's creation, it is difficult to understand how we ever started to believe that endings were final. A great example of this new life in death is the the life cycle of the salmon. (So, you see, they are not only delicious, they are educational).
A salmon has an instinct inside of it to bring it back to the place of its birth. After spending a year or two or three out in the ocean and swimming thousands of miles back up to the stream of their birth, the salmon prepare to die. They embrace endings. Their instinct is to search it out. Even in the face of obstacles such as rocks and dams and waterfalls, they do not falter in their instinctual understanding of death as an important part of living.
They finally, at the end of their long laborious journey, dig a hole, lay their eggs and die. And out of those eggs comes new life. For it is only through dying that there is new life among the salmon.
We can see it in the example of our own cells. As I've said, we all lose about 100,000 cells per second. Fortunately, in a healthy body, at the same time those are dying just a many cells are being reproduced. Healthy bodies have this constant cycle of dying cells and rebirth of new ones. Some scientists say that we actually fully regenerate all of our cells every seven years. When this natural cycle of life, this dying to live pattern, is interrupted or altered, that is when we have problems. Apparently, cells that don't die off in the normal cycle are a real problem. These cells are related to diseases like cancer and become problematic because they get in the way and block the healthy development of the body. Death is an important part of life. In some ways, like with our cells, it is only in dying that we live.
That's on microcosmic level; on the macrocosmic level we see the same dying to live pattern. The universe itself is locked into this essential cycle of life. The elements that are needed to make life possible are produced by the death of a star. How much more proof could we need, that endings are not bad? How much more proof could we need, that new life from death is just the way God designed this thing we call life?
Endings are not bad. They are possibly the opposite of bad – they are essential. Endings are not the death of something, they are simply the markers to the beginning of new possibilities – new life.
In today's scripture reading we have one of the most extreme biblical examples of the fact that with God, endings are not final; that when there is a God there is a way; that nothing in this life, not angles, rulers, things present, things to be, not powers, height nor depth nor DEATH can separate us from God.
It is interesting to consider that, just like we have been learning in conformations class, there are only two sacraments in the Presbyterian church – anyone know what they are? Right, communion and baptism. Both of them, both of our sacraments are centered around the very idea, that new life comes in death. In communion we celebrate the resurrection, a reminder that because of God's love for us there is life after death. And in baptism we die to our old life and as we cross through the waters of baptism, the old life is gone and the new life has begun.
You see, today's scripture is not just about the way that the widow's only son was brought back to life; about how he got back his physical life. It is also not just about how in getting him back she got back her spiritual life. It is also about how our spiritual and emotional lives are sometimes not all God intends for them to be until we die to what we once knew and are born again into the new life that God has waiting for us.
If we want to continue growing in our relationship with God, we have to see the importance of dying in order to live – not just the reality of the death/life cycle that God imprinted into even the furthest reaching corners of Creation, but the reality of the spiritual and emotional deaths we all must die everyday – dying to ourselves and finding life anew in the grace of God. And trusting that God is always on the other side of death – be they physical, emotional or spiritual deaths; trusting that with God, endings are not final; trusting that when there is a God there is a way; trusting that nothing in this life, not angles, rulers, things present, things to be, not powers, height nor depth nor DEATH can separate us from God.
If we can do that, if we can trully trust God, even when facing physical, emotional and spiritual deaths – if we can trust God so much that facing deaths does not cause "fear to seize" us as it does those who witnessed the resurrection in today's scripture, then we can begin really living our lives for God.
It is a difficult lesson, but if we can learn it, if we can live it, if we can trust in God fully, even in the face of death – then earthly endings that creep us out, scare us, disappoint us, bother us, and sometimes offend us the most - well, they become just that "earthly endings," but in our relationship with God, in following the teachings of Jesus, we can see them for what they also are "markers to the beginning of new life" – new possibilities in Christ.
We don't like endings. We avoid them "like the plague." The funny thing is, death is an important part of life.
Jesus once said, "Unless a seed dies, it remains only one seed; but if it dies, it produces many seeds and small seedlings of love which then grow into great love."
St. Francis of Assisi knew this law of life well when he wrote his prayer for peace; "it is in giving that we receive; it is in dying that we are born again."
The Apostle Paul knew it well when he said: "We will not be united with Christ in a resurrection like his, unless we are first united with Christ in a death like his."
I would like bring this message to a close with a riddle that I've asked before in a similar sermon. What does a cell, a seed, a salmon, a star, and our lives have in common? If you understand the answer to that riddle, you have the key to growing your relationship with God even deeper.

Hi Everyone,
I had a conversation today that left me dismayed. During lunch at work I followed up with one of my human resources personnel about our company dropping long term healthcare insurance. He told that our company has not decided whether to use another company or leave things in the current state.
I was discussing long term care with two of my coworkers however they'd never heard of long term healthcare insurance. I explained to them that Medicare and Medicaid don't cover beyond the basic care. I was very upset that our company decided to drop it.
I asked one coworker if they had thought about what they would do if they developed into an invalid. She stated that her children will take care of her. My other coworker chimed in with same reply. I asked both of them if they could be sure their kids would take care of them when they were older. Again, they wholeheartedly stated it would be affirmative. Then I asked them what would they do if they had a debilitating disease that required a substantial amount of money their children couldn't afford. Immediate one of my coworkers stated that she didn't need to worry or have a plan because God would heal her and protect her.
Here are my questions:
Should children take a financial burden caused by their parents lack of retirement planning?
Is it moral to have children in order to have built in caretakers?
Also, both coworkers stated their children "owed" them and should take care of them. Do you think this attitude is justified?
Views: 158
I don't think it is moral to create-your-own caretakers by making babies, and it's very unsmart to assume that someone will shoulder your responsibilities. It will cause problems in the relationships with the children, and it's also assuming that your children will be healthy and will have specific skills and knowledge. I work with elderly people and there are lots of people with kids who still have to hire caregivers; the woman I know who has no kids has saved enough money for 24-hour live-in caretaking.
God will take care of them? Good luck with that. I've known religious people who had strokes.
I plan to take care of Mom, though. It seems like an honorable thing to do. I get along very well with her. My father (I don't get along so great with him) moved to another country, but I don't think I would have signed up to take care of him.
My parents do not ever want to be in a position where they are taken care of. They always want to take care of themselves. Though, if I am able, I would help in their care.
The answers depend on the broader societal context. In a "traditional" society where multiple generations share a dwelling and an extended family partakes of the same village life, a multi-generational compact might make sense. Grandparents and great-grandparents provide free baby-sitting, and in exchange the adult children take care of the elderly. Spinster aunts and uncles share the homestead with siblings who have children of their own. The entire "clan" might be 100+ people. This happens for example in the agrarian Middle East. Personally I would not enjoy this lifestyle; I would find it to be stultifying and repulsive. But in terms of raw economics - whether it actually works or not - the answer is probably in the affirmative.
For a modern society with its emphasis on the nuclear family, the answer is precisely the opposite. Adult children who don't move out of their parents' house after college are regarded as lazy or otherwise deficient. Abandoning mom and dad is regarded as a rite of passage. If and when the next generation arrives, the grandparents are occasional visitors to play with the grandkids, but are not regular caregivers. When the grandparents are no longer self-sufficient, the only recourse becomes to institutionalize them.
Of all of the stupid reasons for reproducing, creating a built-in caregiver is one of the stupidest - and the most selfish. But human nature is still mired in a primitive village reference point, a reference point of extended-families. It's tragic that modern times have not produced modern understanding.
Yet another awesomely written response. I wish I could read more of you :)
It's sad that "abandoning family" is a measure of successful adulthood.
My own parents have pulled this "you have to take care of us" bullshit.
Uh, no I don't. You chose to have kids, I can choose to not change an elderly person's diaper because guess what, you chose to get giant-ass cars and waste money on status symbols rather than saving it for later or getting proper insurance.
Children don't "owe" their parents shit. And this is why I never ask my parents for everything--anything they give me, no matter how small, becomes a "bargaining chip" something for them to whine about constantly and demand that I "pay them back" for it. It could be a fucking egg McMuffin from McDonald's and they'll bitch about wanting to be paid back for it.
They also have a habit of bringing up shit like "when I was your age."
No, shut the fuck up, mom and dad, you don't know what it's like to be a kid now, and things have changed. Stop comparing your life with alcoholic parents to my life with mentally abusive ones and claiming that you had it harder, because it solves exactly ZERO problems that either of us have.
My parents are willing to bend over backwards for me because they feel they are obliged to as parents. The way I am supposed to pay them back? Do the same thing for me kids, or in my case, my nephews.

Conan O'Brien grew up in a large Irish Catholic family in a Boston suburb. The third of six children, he showed promise as a writer, and attended Harvard University as a History major. Having won serious writing awards in high school, O'Brien turned his sights to comedy in college and contributed to the Harvard Lampoon. He served as president of the humor magazine during his sophomore and junior years.
The Lampoon's rival, the Harvard Crimson, was helmed during that time by future NBC executive Jeff Zucker.
After graduation, O'Brien headed west to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy writing. He landed a job on Not Necessarily the News and, for a short spell, The Wilton North Report. During that time he also performed with the famed improvisational group The Groundlings.
Soon enough, Lorne Michaels brought Conan on board as a writer for Saturday Night Live where he worked for three years. His recurring SNL sketches included "Mr. Short-Term Memory" and "The Girl Watchers." The "Nude Beach" bit he co-wrote with Robert Smigel became infamous for its repetitive use of a certain word for male genitalia.
During the 1988 writers' strike, Conan teamed up with Smigel and Bob Odenkirk to stage an improv revue in Chicago entitled Happy Happy Good Show. O'Brien and Smigel also collaborated on the 1991 television pilot Lookwell which developed cult status without ever airing.
Joining The Simpsons staff for the years between 1991 and 1993, O'Brien wrote or co-wrote four episodes and served as a producer. He credits the show for pulling him out of a career slump.
In 1993, Michaels invited O'Brien to audition as host for what would become Late Night with Conan O'Brien taking over for David Letterman. The critics took several years to warm up to Conan's style. On his tenth anniversary special, O'Brien received a a gold "7" necklace from Mr. T. When Conan protested that he'd been on the air for 10 years, Mr. T rebutted, "I know that, fool... but you've only been funny for seven!"
Once they found their groove in 1996, O'Brien and his writers earned annual Emmy Award nominations for Best Writing in a Comedy or Variety Series. They only brought the Emmy home in 2007, but did rack up an armful of Writers' Guild Awards. His audience was consistently 2.5 million viewers.
On February 20, 2009, the last Late Night show aired before the torch was passed to Jimmy Fallon. Thanks to his 2004 contract negotiations, O'Brien was set to take over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno who was moving to an earlier time slot.
June 1, 2009 marked Conan's first night hosting The Tonight Show and the beginning of the end. In early 2010, NBC needed to get Leno out of his failing 10 p.m. slot and back into the late-night arena. A proposal was made to bump O'Brien to 12:05 with Leno occupying the 11:35 position.
Conan responded: "I sincerely believe that delaying The Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn't The Tonight Show."
Reaching a settlement of $45 million, with $12 million going to his staff, O'Brien returned The Tonight Show back to Leno. With a number of networks vying for his affection, O'Brien would be allowed back on late-night television in September, 2010, per his settlement stipulations.
On March 11, 2010, Conan used his Twitter account to announce a 30-city live performance tour. The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour began on April 12, 2010.

More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
Not to take away from Charles' thread about Dreamworks layin' people off but I'm getting peppered on Facebook with posts about people at other animation companies getting laid off and even entire companies shutting down.
I should have known something was going on when I kept getting people asking me for jobs in comics or doing online comics stuff. They do this s*** whenever they get the boot. I don't hear from them when they're eating high on the hog working for Disney or Dreamworks or SONY but soon as s*** gets raggedy all of a sudden they show up in droves.
Why there are layoffs is bottom line. Stuff didn't sell. Can't blame Michael Eisner for this one. It's the wrong projects were picked, the wrong people were picked the wrong administrators were picked. Remember, last year Marvel saved Disney not Pixar as I had predicted for over a decade. Marvel will continue to save Disney for decades. Disney's animation department will thrive if it focuses on Marvel properties and ORIGINAL stuff from non traditional storytellers.
That's the only reason why now more than ever I would want to work for Disney because I know exciting things are going to happen.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
I know someone who hasn't been laid off in animation since at least 1989.
He gets his contract renewed every three years. He has to run for re-election first and cuz nobody bothers to get involved he wins with usually around a 20% turnout of union membership at election time.
He says things like "you can't change law" and he blames artists for working free overtime at union studios cuz they won't file a grievance exposing themselves to potential blacklisting.
He believes that artists should get screwed with their first deal cuz that's how we learn our lessons.
He's berated artists at union meetings and treats them with incredible disrespect and even borderline contempt. That's what I witnessed.
Nothing changes. He doesn't encourage change. Has absolutely no new ideas for the future or solutions to the problems artists face in the present. I've never seem or heard him encourage artists to get involved with their union, attend meetings, run for office. And...
He's not an artist yet he runs the animation industry's union.
He's remained continuously employed at one place with benefits for 24 years. While artists deal with the reality of our industry, he doesn't have to worry about any of that.
We need to start seriously addressing many issues in our community.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
Well my point is where are those throngs of animators that had their jobs saved via the efforts of AN during the wars? Nobody else stuck their necks out like AN did. No, they turned on AN.
I've seen it far too much with artists. You help them and they stab you in the back. No wonder no one has any sympathy for them.
I can't tell you how many students and assistants I've trained who went on to major success in film, television, comics and only one acknowledges me and has my back.
Animators ain't angels that's for sure. They're gonna have to solve this one on their own. I ain't gonna be in the sequel "Riot on Cell Block 11 part 2".
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
That's why I sleep on my stomach brother Greg. Can't roll over on my back cuz of the knife handles sticking out.
I here ya loud and clear. This has been a major disappoint for me and it continues to this day but it's getting better. Mostly cuz I've adjusted my thinking to let it go.
I've got former students who've taken classes with me and who've been on a campaign to tell their followers they're self taught.
And of course there's all those lost souls from the site who not only turned on AN, they think we're the enemy. Twisted individuals.
What have I learned over all these years?
The executives are A problem but they aren't THE problem.
The animation community is the problem. They refuse to acknowledge the dsyfunction. Complete denial year after year.
I know people IN animation, artists who no longer want to be in animation because of... artists. And frankly I can't say I blame them. In fact just today I had a long meeting with a close friend who's been in the biz nearly 30 years, an "A" list top shelf who wants out because of this.
We're gonna have some fun with the issue very soon. Who knows, maybe it will help. Maybe it won't. Maybe it'll change things. Maybe it won't. We'll try and we'll see what happens.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
Here's a prime example Charles.
My hometown just announced they intend on opening up lots and lots of low cost housing for artists along the scenic east shore of the Hudson River. I was surprised at this as I'd not been home in over a decade. Had to come home and figured I'd retire here but California is calling me back.
I talked to the committee behind the proposal to open up housing and told them I could send and army of top artists into town because most of us work via the web. Nearby are famous art communities like Woodstock and New Paltz. I also told the city officials we needed more money for the police. It could turn out awesome. We're only 75 miles north of NY City so there's fun to be had. Will it work? We'll see but at least like AN it's a community thing in the right direction a way for working artists and their families to get low cost housing in some really historic buildings and save some money and get some work done. We have four major colleges, Vassar, Marist, Dutchess, and the CIA ( Culinary Institute of America ).
So all you can do is forge ahead and try to help but if artists think their fudge don't stink they'll end up in some.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
Excellent! Excellent!
That's sounds really exciting. It's the way of the future brother Greg!
Something I've noticed when it comes to artists who think their poopoo smells like a field of flowers...
Everybody in this biz gets humbled. Sooner or later thou shalt be humbled. Might as well develop a balanced view of oneself early on and keep on the good side of your colleagues. You're better off that way in the long run.
Thanks for shining your light Greg. If there's photos or video available of what's happening please share.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
Well I was surprised that several of the arts council leaders from my part of the country piled in and friended me on Facebook. Good to see I still have a rep. I used to be a premier artist in the Hudson Valley for years.
They key with this new venture is to get artists affordable space and see how much capital can they generate for the city. Lots of brainstorming ahead but I think I can connect the artists with the business sector, the three major colleges, sports, entertainment centers too.
In addition, in my county alone there are more movie stars than in Beverly Hills. For some reason when actors get big time they make a bee line to Dutchess county. We've lost count as to how many celebrities live here now.
I don't know how long I'll be here but at least I can help out some how.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
I can't believe it. Just today another veteran animator crossed my door ready to pack it in in California and move back east.
He's giving up because the corporate action is stagnating and unreliable. Highly frustrating. He's in his forties now and realizes he has no intellectual properties of his own to market.
Sound familiar?
How many times have I warned you guys to take that time off and make up your own stuff? Didn't Charles just post about this?
I'm looking at animators in their 50s and 60s without a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of after decades of working at the studios. I don't know why they didn't save money as they were working steadily for those years. Without their jobs they're gonna lose their homes if they have em' and health benefits.
Sucks but welcome to reality.
I've sat here for the past 14 years since AN started having had to bury a half dozen professionals who died without jack s***. What a miserable way to go. Your name on the credits of multi billion dollar animated movie properties but no legacy to call your own.
Can't blame Michael Eisner for that.
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
That's so sad. I hope it works out for him. This makes me curious though. I have heard about those contracts that say anything that is even drawn on your own time is even owned by the studio. How true/enforced is that?
Re: More animation layoffs? Can't blame Michael Eisner
I'm not sure if they still do it but there was a time when your employment contract with at least one major studio included ownership of the work you do on your own, on your own time and outside of the workplace. As I understand there was even a clause that gave them the right to ownership of your dreams.
My last portfolio submission which was by request from the studio involved a clause that basically said they own the images in your portfolio. I crossed it out and initialed it stating that the images in my portfolio were the intellectual property of other companies since much of it was work related.
When I called to pick up my book I was told to wait as they were making copies of it. I never gave them permission for this yet they did it anyway. I guess they wanted to keep a file on me. Or maybe they were thinking they were copying something they owned.

Think about the last time you bought a man cologne. Was it Valentine's Day? Of course it was — that's practically the official holiday of the men's fragrance industry. And, since V-Day is just about here, there's no time like the present for another round of our Perfume Pop Quiz.
A little refresher for those of you who missed out on the festivities for our inaugural feature: We wanted to see how people reacted to fragrances when you stripped away the outside influences — fancy bottles, designer names, and celeb tie-ins — and left them with nothing more than the scent itself. How would they connect with a scent when the only thing they had to go on was their nose? We had a few of our editors give it a try, and let's just say there was some serious shock when we revealed the ones they liked most (Ed Hardy, anyone?).
For this round, we had our panel of sniffers give a melange of mystery men's colognes a whiff. Nobody knew the name or brand of the scents they were testing, nor did they see the bottle it came in. They tested a celebrity fragrance, designer scents, and a few off-the-wall indies.
Read on for their highly informative, excessively entertaining, completely subjective, and totally un-scientific analysis.

What are your ideas for your senior project? If you have already done one, what did you do?
I've got a lot of ideas, too many to list but I know it will have something to do with art!
What is one of your favorite childhood memories?
When I would spend my summers underneath raspberry bushes and eating them to my heart's content.

Dog Mushing
Native Alaskans have long used dogs to travel and move freight, and non-Native stampeders quickly learned the value of a good team. The popularity of racing sled dogs bloomed in the early 1900s, when Nome residents pitted their best dogs against others in the All-Alaska Sweepstakes.

En español | When Mark Simoneau finally landed a job interview last October, he had to borrow a car to get there. His rusty 16-year-old Mercury Grand Marquis needed a new transmission.
You might say Simoneau was rusty, too: He'd been either out of work or underemployed for four years. And he was 64 years old.
Simoneau's age was significant: These days, 50-plus workers like him face brutal odds if they lose their jobs. Forty-four percent of jobless workers 55 or older had been unemployed for over a year in 2012, a Pew study reported. And while older workers have a lower unemployment rate overall, the ones who lose their jobs can find the long hunt for work unbearable.
Sign up for the AARP Money Newsletter
Half of unemployed workers over 62 drop out of the labor force within nine months, according to an Urban Institute study. Worse: To pay the bills, they tap their Social Security years early, permanently cutting their benefits and imperiling their retirement security.
Myths & Misperceptions
But getting people like Simoneau back to work can mean overcoming age discrimination. In a 2009 report from the Sloan Center on Aging & Work, hiring managers at state agencies listed a litany of stereotypes to explain why they tend to reject older job seekers: They felt these applicants were more likely to be burned-out, resistant to new technologies, absent due to illness, poor at working with younger supervisors and reluctant to travel.
Other studies have shown that employers assume older applicants are less creative, less productive, slower mentally and more expensive to employ than early- or mid-career employees.
But Peter Cappelli, a management professor at the Wharton School of business and coauthor (with former AARP CEO Bill Novelli) of the 2010 book Managing the Older Worker, has looked more closely at these stereotypes, pulling together research from fields like economics, demography and psychology. What he determined: Virtually none of them holds up.
When it comes to actual job performance, Cappelli says, older employees soundly thrash their younger colleagues. "Every aspect of job performance gets better as we age," he declares. "I thought the picture might be more mixed, but it isn't. The juxtaposition between the superior performance of older workers and the discrimination against them in the workplace just really makes no sense."
So how does a guy like Mark Simoneau convince a potential employer to take a serious look?
After graduating from Villanova in 1970, Simoneau settled outside Boston, raised a family, earned an MBA and worked in human resources at manufacturing and construction firms. In 2007 a recruiter enticed him to leave his job and make more money at another company. But he objected to some of the firm's practices, and three months later he decided to part ways — a fateful choice.
That was in 2008, just as the Great Recession hit. At 60, Simoneau began hunting for a job.

Recipe by TAMISANGELS
"Chicken breasts baked with a sour cream, garlic, creamy soup and cream cheese mixture. Easy chicken dish that tastes like you worked for hours!! I threw this together when we were having friends over and there was nothing left. Serve over rice."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup
sour cream
1/2 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
2 cloves
garlic, minced
I have a funny story about this recipe...I found it on my very first visit to allrecipes.com a few years ago when I first got married and was trying to learn to cook. I "scaled down" the number of servings from 9 to 4...very handy tool, I might add. When this recipe is scaled down to make 4 servings, it says to add 7/8 of a clove of garlic. Well, I misunderstood that and added 7 or eight cloves of garlic to the dish. I love a lot of garlic, so I didn't mind it, but my poor hubby had to try to choke it down not to hurt my feelings! I ended up throwing out the plastic container I'd stored the leftovers in because I couldn't get the garlic smell out of it. I have made the dish since and we love it...now I put 2 whole cloves in for 4 servings.
I made this kind of as a last minute-I'm broke and cleaning out the cupboards/fridge/pantry dinner. It's a good base recipe, but it needs a little help. I doubled the amount of chicken, used Healthy Request cream of chicken (I found this in the way back of my cupboard), reduced fat sour cream and reduced fat cream cheese. Before making this, I did read through some of the reviews and decided to brown the meat before adding it to the sauce and I also sauteed half of an onion with the garlic in a little of the leftover EVOO from browning the chicken. I added a big glug of dry white wine to thin out the sauce a bit and sprinkled in some homemade italian seasoning. I'm glad I read through the reviews because I don't think it would have been AS good if I hadn't. Plus, it would have been way too much sauce and not enough meat for my boys if I hadn't added more. I served this with whole wheat angel hair pasta and steamed broccoli. This recipe saved my behind and helped me rid my cupboard of one more canned soup. My boys inhaled this. NOTE: I think this would make a good filling for Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie, if it was thinned down a bit with chicken broth.

I made a few changes to this to make it my own. I cut chicken into chunks and browned in butter in a skillet. I mixed the soup, sour cream, and cream cheese together with about 1/4 c. white wine and 1 tsp. garlic & herb seasoning. Poured into skillet, covered, and simmered while my rice cooked. I also doubled the garlic. Wow, this was yummy, and my boyfriend said it was definitely a keeper!
The chicken in this dish is very forgettable, the sauce however, is to die for. It is rich and creamy and goes perfect over noodles. I made the same amount of sauce for two chicken breasts and boy am I glad that I did. I have a few additional changes I will make next time though. First, I would cube and brown the chicken first. It is a little anemic as is. I will also try adding some parsley or paprika to give the sauce a little color. This dish, will however get made again. I even used low fat cream of mushroom and fat free cream cheese and am still giving it this rave review. You really need to try it.
I totally messed with this recipe. Used only 1 lb chicken, cream of chicken instead of mushroom, added a can of mushrooms, a couple of diced carrots, some green pepper and extra garlic. Served it over biscuits. Yum! Next time, I'll add corn, peas, or what ever else I have around. It would be great with asparagus or broccoli. Just add the veggies, raw, into the sauce before you pour it over the chicken. Fabulous. Can't wait to eat the left overs tomorrow...maybe over egg noodles this time...
This recipe carries the distinction of being the easiest cream sauces I've ever made. Nothing but rave reviews from family and guests. For a carry-out dinner, I grilled the chicken on a George Foreman grill,cut it into strips. I mixed and heated the sauce in the microwave, kept the sauce in a separate container, and served with penne pasta mixed with steamed veggies. Everyone went back for seconds.
I made this recipe as written (I did double the garlic though) and served it with rice. My family thought this was good, as did I. But, I think it's missing something. I think I'll make it again, but will try adding broccoli. It needs another depth of flavor.
This dish is even better if you add a (up to) a packet of Dry Italian Salad Dressing mix to the chicken while it cooks. This is too easy in the crock pot also. Just add the crm chz at the end. The dressing mix will give it the flavor reviews said it is missing. YUMMY

Residuals for writers but not storyboard artists?
Recently I had an in depth conversation with one of our industry's leading storyboard artists working the TV side of things.
It was a telling discussion as I get great inside info as to what's really going on in the biz. Not stuff that you would normally hear or learn about through the filter of a union exec or tabloid bloggers. The real deal.
Here's what's up and what goes on routinely in TV production for animation.
It's a common occurrence for writers to create mediocre scripts. Many times they're full of problems that fly by studio producers as they do not scrutinize the script to the degree that they should when it's delivered.
Problems with the script arise after the storyboard's been done and they realize that it's not working. Which means it's back to the drawing board to revise the story and make it functional.
Does that responsibility fall upon the writer?
It should but instead it's left to the storyboard artist to work out the problems along with perhaps the director and others involved in production. Normally it's the storyboard artist that salvages an ineffective script.
No matter how bad it is or how many problems there are with the script, the writer will get residuals for that story.
What about the storyboard artist?
Doesn't it make sense to involve storyboard artists in the residual structure if they are the ones who make they script work for TV?
Daily Z
Re: Residuals for writers but not storyboard artists?
Speaking from a limited experience of working on some tv things, a lot of times our boards weren't that hot either, and the buck got passed to animation to resolve...
Seems if EVERYONE makes a thing... EVERYONE should get residuals...or no one should... and I find the idea of residuals shocking, when most artists aren't even compensated for ALL the hours they actually worked...
Re: Residuals for writers but not storyboard artists?
Saturn cars had a great model. I don't know if they still do it, but they use to give everyone a percentage of the profits. Even if its micro, that s*** adds up and is a great gesture to create loyal, hard workers.

I believe that's the future of business models in entertainment especially in animation and VFX. For everyone to participate in the rewards of a successful creative endeavor and enterprise.
A good friend is a worker at a mill near Chicago and is in the United Steelworkers International. Even with the great benefits that union membership offers they still get a profit sharing bonus from the company. They divide 10% of the mill's annual profits for distribution to their union workers.
