Two people fascinated with the past wonder if they have a future together in this independent drama. George (Michael Piccirilli) is a librarian who in his spare time poses as a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman as he works on an ambitious project: "The Obselidia," an encyclopedia that catalogs the huge number of things that have gone obsolete in 21st Century culture. George distrusts most present day technology -- he refuses to drive a car, he doesn't own a cell phone or a land line with buttons, and while he grudgingly uses a computer at work, he won't allow one in his home and does his writing on a manual typewriter. As George is researching his Obselidia, he meets Sophie (Gaynor Howe), a lovely young woman who works as a projectionist at a movie theater specializing in vintage silent films. Sophie is also fascinated with relics of the past, but is more open-minded and doesn't share George's dread about a culture in flux. Despite George's tremendous discomfort around women, he's fascinated by Sophie, and they begin an intellectual courtship as they discuss their many opinions about the changing world around them. A side trip into exploring the future takes George and Sophie to Death Valley, where they meet Lewis (Frank Hoyt Taylor), a retired scientist who believes climate change will turn the world into a desert by 2100 and tells the few people he sees to enjoy the present day, since man's days on Earth are numbered. The first feature film from director Diane Bell, Obselidia was an official selection at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the Alfred P. Sloan Prize for Excellence in Cinematography. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Phillies Offensive Surprise
Phillies Offensive Surprise
By The Captain
All season long the talk has been about the Phillies inability to score runs. The dirty little secret is they are 4th in runs scored in the NL and 2nd in the month of May to the Cardinals. Also for the season if you look at the NL East the Phillies are second to the Braves in runs scored. Now all that said, I think they do need some help offensively and more importantly the Phillies need to score runs more consistently. Right now their tendency is to score runs in bunches like they did last night scoring 10 and then go 4 or 5 games struggling to scratch out 2 or 3 runs. The Positive overall is their offense is on the upswing now that the weather is getting warmer. Lets see if it holds up and if it does how long will it take for perception and reality to come together on the offense and the pitching which happens to have the 8th best ERA in the NL.By firstname.lastname@example.com

City Guide: Glasgow
To Quote the Scots "ye cannae go past Glasgow".
The largest city in Scotland and third most-populous in United Kingdom, the hospitality of the locals - known as Glaswegians - is legendary.
Glasgow holds firmly onto its Scottish heritage, while maintaining a place in Europe's top twenty financial centers, it is a city easily navigated by travelers.
Hotels are scattered throughout the center, but the budget conscious should note Glasgow hotels can be pricey.
However, Booked.net allows you to find the best Glasgow hotel deals and exclusive discounts at below hotel rack rates.
If you are looking for a cheap hotel in Glasgow or something more luxury we have the information you need from photos, maps, and secure reservation forms.
The city is valued and renowned for its Victorian architecture, which blends almost seamlessly with more modern additions to the city and sits alongside stylish bars, modern clubs and world-class venues.
The Victorian face of the city was founded on the strength of the Industrial Revolution, but in the century since Glasgow has grown from industrial centre to modern metropolis.
No Glasgow tour is complete without a visits to;
- The Burrell Collection
- Museum of Modern Art
- Mackintosh House, Ruchill Church Hall, Queen's Cross Church, Willow Tea Rooms, School of Art, Martyrs' Public School, Daily Record Building, the Lighthouse, Scotland Street School Museum, and House for an Art Lover. The genius of architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh can be seen right across Glasgow
- The Hunterian Art Gallery
- For the shopper, a day at Princes Square or on Argyle Street will leave you loaded with purchases and with a lighter wallet.
With Booked.net you can easily book a hotel stone's throw from any of these attractions and to borrow from the local Glasgow Patter, or Glaswegian, Booked.net can make your stay "pure dead brilliant" - which means outstandingly good.
