The 50-year-old star announced the pair's engagement in March but no wedding date has yet been announced.
A source told Now: "Simon's a multimillionaire and he isn't going to tie his assets to any woman without some legal protection. So a prenup's in the works - and expect it to be the size of a phone book. He's very savvy, but it has no bearing on his feelings for her."
The insider added: "The prenup's nowhere near finalized, but it's likely to be as iron-clad as Simon can get it. Not that Mezhgan will walk away with nothing should they split. She'll be taken care of and will never have to worry about money again.
"A timeline's likely to be attached. So if they marry and split within the first year, she won't get much. After five years, she'll probably get a lump sum. But no-one knows amounts yet. After ten years, she'd get a very significant payout. If she cheats on Simon, she gets nothing. Infidelity's a deal breaker."
When Cowell split up with Terri Seymour in 2008, he reportedly gave her more than £6m as a parting gift.

The Marlins added to their stockpile of 5-tool outfielders with the selection of Galloway in the 8th round of the '08 draft. Isaac had a fine debut with the Marlins' GCL affiliate, hitting .286 with a HR 23 RBI 4 SB and 29 runs scored in 48 games. Galloway has a long and athletic frame that is projected to add above average power down the road. He makes good contact at the plate and has above average speed that should play well on the basepaths and in the outfield. His arm is very strong and would play well in RF. Galloway is a nice find in the 8th round, but he still needs considerable work with his pitch recognition and plate discipline. He garnered a lowly 4 BB/33 K ratio in the GCL, which will need to improve at higher levels. Also, though he is fast, Galloway does not move fluidly, which lead some scouts to believe that he will lose speed down the road as he builds his body.
2009 Projection: The Marlins may decide to send Galloway to extended spring training for more work before shuttling him to their short season Low-A team in Jamestown. They also may decide to challenge him by allowing him to play at full season Greensboro. Either way, the key to watch with Galloway is the development of his plate discipline and power output. The Marlins are chocked full of talented OF prospects with the likes of Cameron Maybin, Mike Stanton, John Raynor, Scott Cousins and Gregory Burns. For Galloway to progress, he needs to boost his power numbers and refine each of his 5-tools.

4. | pueblo west high school | ||
Located in the middle of a dirt hole. Windy all the fuckin time so beware ur hair WILL get raped, but this school starts so damn early u won't have time to fix it, sorry. Consists of mainly white trash who smoke pot all day (but then again what school isn't like this?) & people who think they are cool cuz they wear Hollister and a&f everyday. Were 07' state champs In football, rlly the only thing this school has to show for itself. Some party goers, mainly the seniors and some juniors and sophomores, the freshies are to fkn annoying. The semi-pretty girls here are mostly short chicks who wear heels to make themselves taller. The cheerleaders (who suck, most are fat chicks) are really the only popular chicks, they think they are badass cuz..well actually I don't even kno why they think they're so dope..newsflash yo, ur not. No guys are really hot here, some of the seniors are, some of the younger guys (10th & 11th graders) are hot but usually dicks or are annoying as fuck, which ruins it. The only cool people who go here are the ppl who aren't that "popular" and don't have sex w/everyone. I don't mean the nerds or weird ass people, I mean the mo fukin cool ass people. Try to find em. Some teachers are cool but most u will learn to hate. The classes are chill sometimes & aren't very hard so u usually don't feel like ur learning anything, so why the fuck am I going to school?! That's the real question.

Pueblo West High School is filled to the brim with scum sucking cretins. Whether they're a DECA kid, (goblins and punks stuffed into business attire) or a jock who never really left middle school (I'm looking at you, C.R.) chances are slim you'll have any fond memories of the time you spent with them. If you're like me, and you hung around these miserable excuses for human beings for four years, you'll probably relish the time you spend in the bathroom because it is so delightfully fucking quiet. That's not to say that everyone at the school is a depressingly useless parody of humanity. In fact, there is the occasional brilliant, interesting person populating the halls. An IQ over 90 makes you a mental giant around here, a vibrant beast among pale gray sacks of organic material that are far more interested in things like Jersey Shore and the rims on their truck than any sort of mentally stimulating pursuits. These semi-dormant lumps of decomposing flesh inevitably suffocate anything remotely unique by virtue of sheer weight. But I guess it's not that bad. We've only had two known murderers attend this school in the last year. And only one of them shot someone's dad. Fuck man. That's horrible. I'm really sorry to hear that... Listen, if you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING, you just gimme a call, aight? Even if you just wanna talk. Fuck, man. Pueblo West High School. That fuckin' sucks. No one should have to go through that. Fuck.
2. | Pueblo West High School | ||
In opposition to the existing definition, Pueblo West High School is an academic academy of the highest excellence and class. The noble instruction staff provides the "dopest" teaching styles to guide you through your high school career. The sports teams participate in their designated areas with the highest sportsmanship and honor. To wear a Pueblo West Jersey scrupulously justifies a truly definite athlete. In addition, despite the diverse community of young school-goers, the students of this school have come to accept each other as individuals and all communicate with little haste or hostility. The population of increasingly intelligent students also posses the power to properly display individuality in the art of style. Walk down the halls in this school and you will notice immediately that every student is proud of their "swagger" and flaunts it as such. After-school life in this area is also very prominent. The party life directly deprived from this institute is only defined by a scene of the utmost class and prosperity. There should be no visualizations of underage drinking or "pot smoking" at these gatherings. More common, however, are Harry Potter themed parties accompanied by non-alcoholic butter beer. The cheerleaders are very good and nice. "Hey dude! What school do you go to?"
"Hello good sir, I attend Pueblo West High School." "Whoa! Cool! I wish my parents would send me there!" "You can accompany me! All sorts are permitted!" |

Picking out a flat-panel mount is not an exciting process. However, Media Decor is hoping to pump some excitement (and sound) into the category, with The Edge.
The Edge is a new custom-made flat-panel TV mount that combines a handcrafted Media Decor frame with a Leon Horizon soundbar. Yes, that means that this mount can actually boost the sound of your HDTV.
With a profile that's just 3 inches deep, The Edge should blend nicely into almost any room's decor. Designed to work with flat-panel TVs up to 65 inches, both the frame and the soundbar are custom-built to match the size and performance of your needs. It also comes in a choice of hardwood (maple, cherry, espresso, walnut) or optional glossy black and white finishes.
Supposedly, it's also easy to install, packing in level adjustments and tilting capabilities, so you can easily access all of the TV's cables.
"We designed The Edge to be the world's most beautiful TV mount," said Jonathan Graham, president of Media Decor. "The Edge offers a unique combination of high-demand, sophisticated design, featuring Media Decor's elegant craftsmanship, and instant access to high quality audio entertainment with Leon Speakers."
Media Decor is selling The Edge in two models. The Edge-Spk comes with a pre-mounted Leon soundbar and hidded wiring chase, so everything is prewired. The Edge-Nspk does not have the speaker bar.

Nov 14, 2012 10:50 AM
No wonder Andrew Garfield is dating her!
Emma Stone came out for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund dinner last night in NYC, and the Spiderman actress covered her sequined Burberry dress with a teal pea coat to brave the chilly temperatures.
The fund provides money and mentoring to promising designers, and Tobey Maguire's wife Jennifer Meyer was one of the big winners! Meyer's jewelry line is a favorite among celebrities, including Jen Aniston, and the designer thanked her grandmother in her acceptance speech for teaching her how to make beautiful baubles at a young age.
Other attendees included Ashley Greene, Miranda Kerr, Seth Myers, and Chelsea Clinton.
All the big names come out when Anna Wintour throws a party!

Blue Cheer
~ Group
Blue Cheer was an American rock band that initially performed and recorded in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was sporadically active until 2009. Based in San Francisco, Blue Cheer played in a psychedelic blues-rock style, and is also credited as being pioneers of heavy metal (their cover of "Summertime Blues" is sometimes cited as the first in the genre), punk rock,stoner rock,doom metal, and experimental rock. According to Tim Hills in his book, The Many Lives of the Crystal Ballroom, "Blue Cheer was the epitome of San Francisco psychedelia." Jim Morrison of The Doors called the group "The single most powerful band I've ever seen."

Live Stream Q&A
41 Q&A Posts
Q. Does your artistic vision extend beyond nails on a shoot? And how do you work with hairdressers etc. to achieve that, are there contradicting opinions?
Yes, always. For a shoot, of any kind, the most important aspect is the image. To that length I will always consider the nails as part of the total look as each member of the team will be doing. Logistically, I like to work at the same time as the hairdresser as I can usually get to the hands (or feet) easier. Working with the make up artist can be a bit more crowded and I always stop buffing, for example, if delicate work is being done that need stillness. There are sometimes contradicting opinions. There cannot be too many strong elements in an image as it gets too overloaded and, of course, no one wants their 'bit' to be the one that is forfeited. At the end, the image and the purpose of the image is what really matters.
Q. Beautiful feathers!!!!
Just a little accent to bring in that element of the collection. As is often the case with nails 'less is more'
Q. why aren't you shooting fw11 looks?
It's a project that we have been planning for ages and the recent show season meant putting it back even further. We decided to go ahead with the original plan as we would actually be shooting the current season rather than the next one. Maybe we should do a mini version for each season?
Q. Hello , Just wondering if hes taking stills from a video whilst recording or is he taking stills ? Steve
There were many cameras in evidence! I think there will be all options available to Nick when he comes to edit it all. I hope there are some stills as I would like to see them! (and maybe put them in my book)
Q. I am curious to know if we will see the looks posted in the form of digital photographs, on showstudio or elsewhere for view. I appreciate and strongly believe in the exposure of the creative and artistic side of fashion that is not always realized these days. but my only criticism is that unless its going to print or is used for a magazine or campaign allot of the live productions never go to the retouchers and we don't see the final look in detail (like the raquel zimmermann vogue shoot nails used on your book) other than a video still.
As the previous question, I think there will be some stills. When Nick shoots stills he always videos the whole event. When he shoots the moving image he always includes stills. I would like to think that stills from this will be seen somewhere. Maybe they could be on my site (about to undergo construction for blogging) or I'm sure my favourite trade magazine, Scratch, will be happy to have an article about the project. I hope you like the cover of my book?
Q. Where would be your dream location to shoot?
No, I'm not going to say somewhere exotic. I have never thought about this before but I do get to see a great deal of quite amazing places when shooting on location. I love 'history', historical architecture and specifically domestic history. I once saw some amazing parts of Port Eliot in Cornwall and Tyntesfield in Somerset when it was first opened to the public. So, I would love to shoot in hidden parts of houses of great historical interest
Q. How do you think the modeling business has changed seems the supermodel era? what do you think about all these celebs taking over models jobs and careers?
I think that, like so many professions, everyone thinks they can do it! I am lucky enough to have worked with every one of the original 'supermodels' over the years and they are certainly something very special! They know how to coordinate every millimetre of their body at once for the best shot and can perform silently in front of a camera as well as the best actresses. There are many current models that have that skill but there are many, many more that just don't! Each of the 'supers' have a real character and were all so different from each other. Now there are so many that all look alike, can't move and only have 1 or 2 expressions. Bit harsh but true. Working with the best photographers, like Nick, I do get to work with those that can fit into the current supermodel category and the difference is astonishing.
I think it is very unfortunate that we live in such a 'celebrity culture' and the consumer seems to like to buy products that are advertised by celebrities. I can't blame the manufacturers or ad agencies as they have products to sell but does the average consumer believe that if they buy the product they will suddenly look like the celeb in the ad or even that the celeb even uses the product?? I think that 'culture' is boring and it's time we moved on and found something else to obsess about.
Q. Where do you get your nail ideas from? I never really notice them, but now as I'm a little more involved in fashion, the nails are really beautiful. And one more thing, have you ever thought about nails for guys? Is there a such thing? Thanks! - Terence. P.S loving the video! Marian is so polite and sweet and funny! :)
Thank you! I hope I'm always polite. I never see the need for impoliteness in any form or any situation and I appreciate you other kind words.
Nails, in fashion, are an important accessory. In other areas, they are an important part of grooming (e.g. you may not notice a healthy, groomed nail but you'd certainly notice an unkempt, grubby one). My ideas will come from all sorts of places: shoes, make up, fabric, silhouette etc. How that translates will depend on what I working on at the time. This time it was all about the nails (hooray!!) I do quite like using unusual materials for nail designs but don't often get the opportunity. Like the bark I used today, I've used scarab beetle wings (no harm caused to any animals!) , wool, photographic gels, fabrics, doyleys, wire and on and on…
I've done lots of nails for guys! On a fairly recent shoot with one of the 'rock royalty' princes I put 9 silver Minx's and 1 gold Minx then trashed them. I suppose this is rather a different thing than you are asking but there were lots of nails in Nicks Transgender shoot with Nicola Formichetti! -
Q. How was it working with Lady Gaga?
Fabulous! She is so sweet and kind and so hard working. She has a very strong creative idea of everything she does but she also allows those working with her to have their own suggestions/ideas. Every time I've worked with her she has been happy to accept my suggestion which is amazing considering the powerful character that she is in her work. The girl inside that big persona is so lovely everyone wants to do their best for her. My only criticism of her is that I wish she could sit still for a bit longer than 3 seconds haha. (but I can work on nails that are on the move! It's now part of the job!)
Q. What is your favorite nail style/color/design in this era of spring/summer trends?
When doing the shows for this season there was a lot of rusts, toffee etc. This was obviously a bit of a trend but, now the sun is out, it's a bit dull. I love the oranges and the brighter the better! If you can imagine an orange version of hot pink, then that's it. Also, my designs for Minx are now available and they are ALWAYS on my toes!
Q. http://www.flickr.com/photos/edoardomodenese/ check out my work ;)
Ooooh! I want to put Copia 4-5 on to nails!!! The stretched plastic is fabulous and something similar to what I was going to do if we had covered the Comme collection!
Q. Sorry I was away for a moment - not sure if my question got asked: How do you envision the nail varnish of the future? A special effect? A special applicator? What will be your ideal nail varnish? What would it do?
I think the consumer is liking something different at the moment: different finishes, effects, textures. The whole industry has exploded with interest from every quarter. I think the process has been getting very clever and the gel polishes from the salon industry are an answer to most polish wearers problems. However for the home user it's the effects that will win for now. Later I would expect to see a process that makes application and longevity key.
Q. why do you love nails so much? that brought u to change your career path from forensic to manicure?
I didn't know that I did! I discovered the professional nail industry by accident then found the huge scientific side of it that was largely unresearched. That was what caught my attention at the time (and why I write textbooks now). After than various opportunities appeared that have brought to me to today. I wouldn't have discovered this whole media industry or even fashion if it hadn't been for Nick. There were no 'sessions technicians' in the '90's and Nick needed someone to do some specific nails for a shoot. By a strange course of events I went to his studio to do some nails and her I am doing this film today! That day for that shoot really did change the course of my life and opened up a whole new world for me and those that do this job now. That was a very lucky day for me.
Q. what do think the role of nails is in fashion image-making?
It is as a very important accessory. In the great scheme of things it is nothing more than that. Sometimes the nails are the focus of the 'fashion' but usually they are there to enhance the total look, to finish it off, the detail.
Q. Hey Marian, what has been the most memorable shoot/runway show you have worked on?
Because I do so much work with Nick Knight, ever shoot of his is memorable. I have worked with him since 1997. Over the years, we've worked with real lions, in the gent's toilets in Gunnersby Park... just about every shoot with Nick is memorable. The most memorable shows have to be McQueen. I was lucky enough to work with McQueen when he was at Givenchy, back at the very start, and on his last show, which was over eighteen months ago now. It's difficult to pick out a single one because they were all amazing. And if I pick out one, within two minutes I'd think of another one.
Q. Marian, were you always interested in fashion? What did you want to be when you were small?
When I was very small I wanted to be a hairdresser (but I think that was my Mum wanting to have a useful daughter!) When I was at secondary school I always wanted to do something in science and in my last year or so there I really wanted to be involved in forensic science (that or a doctor)
Q. marian darlin! gorgeous nails!!!!!! please save some for us too!! miss you. send my love to nick. and tell andrea i miss him! kiss from new york. nicola formichetti
We all miss you too Nicola!!!!! Thank you but, you know, there is a special part of my brain where all the nails for you are kept. Big kiss to you and big hug for Gaga xxxxxx
Q. hi Marian! Love your nails! Do you think of nails as accessories, or body art?
Thank you! The answer to your question is that it depends. I believe they can be anything and everything! Most of what I'm required to do is quite simple but I think that, over the years, I have shown and created nails in so many different forms that it can be seen that they can be anything. For example, the nails for Gaga's album are body art. The nails I do for most shows are accessories. The nails for today are (I hope) miniature expressions of the key details from a variety of collections. I wish I could do more nails like today though!
Q. what has inspired you to make nails a focus?
For todays film? This was an idea of Alex Fury's. He has seen me create some unusual nails for various projects and had the idea of taking a variety of collections, picking out the key elements and bringing them into miniature for nails so they reflect the collection as a whole. I have tried to keep them relatively simple and also to include a variety of techniques to appeal to the live streaming element of the project. I am a believer in the 'less is more' approach as the area is so small. It is often tricky to know when to stop but I think my style is always to keep it simple but effective (if possible). The same as the approach to many images: too many elements can just make it confusing and visual overload.
Q. How far in advance do you usually have to plan ideas for a shoot and how do you come up with the nail designs yourself?
I rarely have any time to plan ideas! I usually just turn up on the day and discover what is happening. I actually quite like that challenge and the boot of my car is full of 'stuff' to cover every eventuality. Today's shoot was a little different as it did need an amount of planning. However, I didn't premake any of the nails or even try the designs out first and that was deliberate as I thought the evolution of the nails would be more interesting for the streaming.
Q. Fantastic to be watching you over here in Doha - what a super idea for a live show - Alex Fox
Hey Foxxy! Do you feel an article for Scratch coming on??
Q. Happy Belated birthday Marian! How would you envision a nail varnish of the future? Maybe a special effect/finishing? A different applicator? What will be your ideal varnish? what will it do?
It would change colour at a whim! (I'm working on it!!)
Q. Where can I buy pink cigarettes?
They are Sobranie Cocktail. Really good tobacconists sell them.
Q. can't imagine why - am glued to the screen!!!
My glue is nowhere near you!
Q. Love and support from all your geeks :P xxxx
Thank you Geeks xxxxxxx
Q. Big Sis and niece are watching...after all this time have never really seen her "in action" before !!! Wonderful and talented as ever
Thank you!
Q. what is your best / funniest experience on a shoot or behind stage at a show? xx calum
Hello calum! My very best experience was at the end of a long Dior shoot with your Dad (Nick Knight). It was when he got the sunglasses image with Giselle. It was late and I was upstairs and got a text from Val Garland saying I had better come on set. Oh no! I thought Giselle had broken her nails which was the last thing anyone needed at that time. When I walked on set your Dad was holding the most amazing 10-8 polaroid with the whole team around him (including Val, Sam Mcknight, John Galliano and Stephen Robinson).
The funniest was probably on a different Dior shoot when Giselle made us all get into the Perspex box so she could fire the foam at everyone as she had endured that for 4 days! Or maybe it was the YSL 24hr shoot when you, me and Sam were playing the turkey game? -
Q. Were those straws just normal straws?
They're just straws, and it's just blu-tack. They look a bit more colourful on this table!
Q. If you didn't do nails on a shoot, what other part of one would you like to do ? Model ? Photographer hairdresser etc
I'd quite like to be a hairdresser actually. Up to ten years old, I wanted to be a hairdresser. I'm not sure if that was an idea of mine or of my mum's. Now, having worked on shoots for so long, I think I would really enjoy being a hairdresser because it's so vital to the picture. The shape of the head, the hair is always in a picture. Or a photographer, or the boss. Just the boss!
Q. You have been at the top of your profession for so long. Do you still get excited about shoots/celebs and do you think you will ever retire !!!
Thank you that you think that (ooo, that was a lot of 't's). I hope I'm not getting stale or too old!! Yes, I love my job. The celebrity aspect is not so important as I just like people. I am lucky enough to work with the most amazing creative geniuses so almost every shoot is exciting. I'd like to think I'll retire quite soon but whenever I have a few days off I realise that it is unlikely! While I still get booked I'll still keep on working.
Q. What is the most exciting innovation in the nail industry at the moment
Two things - I couldn't seperate them, I think they're both amazing. One of them is Minx - verynoticeable on this table! They really do put fashion on your fingertips, and I find them invaluable. The second are gel polishes, which have open a whole new category into the industry for people who like natural finishes, but not how long they last. But gel polishes I think can triple or even quadruple the nail industry as it stands today. So maybe gel polishes are first, but Minx are a very very close second.
Q. Hi Marian what would you say is one of the most important piece of equipment a nail technician owns?
If they do the sort of job I do - today, bark! But tomorrow... there's not one. Certainly a nail file, certainly oil and certainly polish remover. If you have those, you can at least do something! A good kit - all eventualities. I doesn't matter how much planning is done, or how much you think you know the story, there can still be changes.
Q. Who actually made you star struck ??
I'm not star-struck at all, but I must admit there was one occasion when I was so star-struck I didn't think I could speak... Sir Paul McCartney. Because I grew up in an age when the Beatles were the most famous people in the world, but meeting him made me star-struck. And he sung me the chorus to 'Yesterday' across a kitchen table in a location flat.
Q. Did you have a good birthday yesterday ?
I had a quiet brithday thank you! My birthday is the day before the Queen's, and the same day as Hitler's! Make of that what you will...
Q. Do you find your creativity is limited?
Working just on nails - absolutely definitely not. Working purely on nails is one of the challenges, trying to create a nail out of anything. It's lik this shoot - how do you translate something down to something that needs to go onto the end of a finger. That's the challenge.
Q. We're watching you..................Carla & Paula xxx
Hi Carla and Paula! Hello! I hope you can see what a lovely day it is out there, and have a nice easter!
Q. are you creating fake nails for each look? if so, is that what normally happens on shoots? or do you just give girls great basic manicures?
We are creating fake nails for this shoot because every nail is rather extreme, and more importantly we've been making the nails and having them ready-prepared so the nails just go straight on. That's exactly what we would do with a show with extreme nails, but on a shoot if it's a close-up I'd definitely notuse fake nails - I'd use real nails, or fake nails that look real - what we call 'weekend nails' - they look like they've grown there. It depends on the job - real nails are preferable, but not always possible.
Q. Hello, what is this beautiful place!
This beautiful place is SHOWstudio
Q. Marian I know this is not quite about the project but I was wondering Which brand has the best nail polish brush and which brand has the best formula? thanks!
Best brush is trick. The cheaper nail polishes on the market are actually fantastic quality polish, but what lets them down is the quality of the brush. I often recommend that if you come across a really good brush, clean the brush in acetone and keep it, because you can use it with every polish. The best brushes usually come with higher-price polishes. Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent - and Dior have a new brush, a flat brush, which is very different but very nice. In the cheaper ranges, Bourjois has very nice brushes. But every now and again, you'll come across a rogue brush which looks like a chimney sweeps.
Formula is changing right now, because of new European regulations - there's been a bit of a scare with some of the ingredients. They're all changing - but from the lower-cost, Bourjois I always like, and Revlon is fantastic. They invented nail-polish in the twenties, after all. And all the prestige brands are great. They're always changing and developing, but always great.
Q. what are those pouches that are golding the nail polishes?
It's a roll that I've been using. I found it years ago and I've never been able to find one ever since, so I have them made for me. I use them for colours - one red, one orange etc. They literally do roll up, I put them in my kit and just pick out whatever colour I need and then I have a range of them. So many people ask me about them, so I'm going to make them and sell them online very soon!
Q. Hello Marian, See you in 30 mins. I hope you are being well looked after. I hope you have been offered a cup of tea. Nick
Hi Nick, we're beavering away! And not panicking anymore...

Faltaits Historical and Folklore Museum
Faltaits Historical and Folklore Museum Review
This museum showcases an outstanding collection of Skyrian decorative arts. Built after Greek Independence by a wealthy family (who still owns the museum), the house is one of the most impressive in Skyros Town. Just as well, as it is nearly overflowing with rare books, costumes, photographs, paintings, ceramics, local embroideries, Greek statues, and other heirlooms. Of particular note are the embroideries, which are famed for their flamboyant colors and vivacious renderings of mermaids, hoopoes (the Skyrians' favorite bird), and mythical human figures whose clothes and limbs sprout flowers. Top treasure among the museum's historical documents is a handwritten copy of the Proclamation of the Greek Revolution against the Ottoman Empire. The informative guided tour is well worth the extra euros.

It's pretty simple. I don't want to put my ammunition or rocket in the world... I would like to specify a projectile ( named rocket ) directly from my project view. But unity won't let me do it. It will only let me do it if I put in the hiearchy. But I don't want or don't know yet how to handle those kind of ammunition ( they explode when falling down bla bla. and if the rocket die... i cannot fire anymore ) Can you help me please ?

Ortlieb's Jazzhaus
Trip Ideas
847 N. 3rd St., 215/922-1035,
Considered by many to be the city's best live jazz venue, this intimate space is in the former cafeteria of a 19th-century brewery. The bar/restaurant has attracted jazz enthusiasts from the city and beyond for more than 20 years, making it one of the first and longest-standing entertainment venues in the now-happening Northern Liberties neighborhood.<
While the music is certainly the Ortlieb's chief draw, tasty, reasonably priced Cajun American food is also served.

BEHIND THE SCENES & OUTTAKES: http://wongfuproductions.com/2011/05/new-short-kung-fooled/ Written, Directed, Produced by Wong Fu Productions Special thanks C...
A sequel (also called a follow-on or follow-up) is a narrative, documental, or other work of literature, film, theatre or music that continues the story of, or expands upon, some earlier work. In the common context of a narrative work of fiction, a sequel portrays events set in the same fictional universe as an earlier work, usually chronologically following the events of that work.[1]
In many cases, the sequel continues elements of the original story, often with the same characters and settings. A sequel can lead to a series, in which key elements appear in a number of stories. Although the difference between more than one sequel and a series is somewhat arbitrary, it is clear that some media franchises have enough sequels to become a series, whether originally planned as such or not.
Sequels are attractive to creators and to publishers because there is less risk involved in returning to a story with known popularity rather than developing new and untested characters and settings. Audiences are sometimes eager for more stories about popular characters or settings, making the production of sequels financially appealing.[2]
In movies, sequels are common. There are many name formats for sequels. Usually, they either have unrelated titles, such as The Jewel of the Nile, the sequel to Romancing the Stone, or the same title as the original, but with a number added, as in Lethal Weapon 2, sequel to Lethal Weapon. Sometimes such titles have subtitles as well (e.g. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York). It is also common for a sequel to have a variation of the original title (such as Men of Boys Town, sequel to Boys Town). In the 1930s, many musical sequels had the year included in the title (Gold Diggers of 1933), in the style of Broadway revues such as the Ziegfeld Follies.
Contents |
Chronologies [edit]
There are a number of ways that subsequent works can be related to the chronology of the original. Various neologisms have been coined to describe them.
(Simple) sequel [edit]
The most common approach is for the events of the second work to directly follow the events of the first, either picking up dangling plot threads or introducing a new conflict to drive the events of a second story. A sequel to the first sequel might be referred to as a third installment or threequel.[3][4]
Prequel [edit]
A sequel that portrays events which precede those of the original work is called a "prequel."[5] These can often avoid the plot problems associated with having to deal with the consequences of the original (e.g. the death of an important character). However, they pose the challenge of maintaining dramatic interest when the outcome is already known from the original work, so the focus is usually on the character interactions or revealing how the characters and situations of the original work developed. Examples of prequels are Butch and Sundance: The Early Days, which is recognized as one of the first film prequels and the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
Interquel [edit]
When there are already two or more completed works, an interquel can portray events that happened between them, bridging one story to the other.[6] The interquel is therefore a sequel to one work and a prequel to another. For example, the video game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days was released after Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, but takes place between them. Interquels are often ancillary works in other media rather than works in a popular series. For example, the novel The Godfather Returns takes place between the events of the films The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.
Midquel [edit]
A midquel is a sequel which can take place during a chronology gap within a single previously completed work.[7] For example, the Narnia book The Horse and His Boy takes place during the reign of the Pevensie children, which happens towards the end of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Another example would be the film Bambi II, which starts out shortly after the death of the young deer's mother in Bambi but before the later scenes in which he is an adult.
Parallel [edit]
In a parallel story, as with a prequel, the focus is not on the outcome but on the characters and previously unrevealed information. [8] For example, Ender's Shadow covers the events of the previous novel Ender's Game from the point of view of a supporting character in the original.[9]
Spin-off [edit]
A variety of sequel that allows substantial creative freedom is one that is set in the same fictional universe as the original work, but with unrelated plots, and sometimes unrelated characters. When done with the intention of launching a new series of stories, these are often called spin-offs.[10] One example of this is the The Cleveland Show, which is based on Family Guy. Screenwriter David Peoples described his film Soldier as a "sidequel" to Blade Runner, which he co-wrote.[11]
Spiritual successor [edit]
A spiritual successor is a creative work that is produced as a complementary work to another stand-alone project, but storywise has nothing to do with its predecessor.[12] While a companion piece does not necessarily need to take place within the same "universe" as the predecessor, it must follow-up on specific themes and ideas introduced in the original work. It must also be intentionally meant by its creator to be viewed alongside or within the same context as the earlier work. An example is Letters from Iwo Jima, which is Clint Eastwood's companion piece to his earlier picture Flags of Our Fathers.
Reboot [edit]
A reboot is a type of sequel which technically is not a sequel. It means that a franchise begins anew, as if the earlier entries in the franchise did not exist.[13] Examples include the Batman film series with Batman Begins, the Spider-Man film series' The Amazing Spider-Man, Star Trek film series with Star Trek (2009) and The Pink Panther (2006) and The Pink Panther 2 (2009). In television, the 2004 TV series Battlestar Galactica was termed a "reimagining" of the original 1978 series. Reboots are also the recycling of the original entertainment's name, but with enhanced features like upgraded gameplay mechanics or graphics for video games, or addiction of CGI special effects for movies.
Stand-alone sequels [edit]
When sequels are set in the same universe but have little connection with their predecessors, the work is called a stand-alone sequel.[14] An example of a stand-alone sequel is the film This Is 40, which was promoted as "the sort-of sequel to Knocked Up."
History [edit]
It is impossible to say for sure when the history of the sequel begins, as the concept of the sequel in its loosest definition has presumably existed since the advent of storytelling itself. In The Afterlife of a Character, David Brewer coined the term "imaginative expansion" to describe a reader's desire to "see more," or to know what happens next in a narrative after it has ended.[15] This capacity for expansive curiosity is certainly not restricted to a particular era in human history. Indeed, we can point to Homer's Odyssey as a sequel to the Iliad in the sense that it expands upon plot and character elements established in the first text. That both the Odyssey and the Iliad were written in the 8th century B.C.E. and are traditionally held to represent the first extant works of western literature lends credence to the ubiquity of sequels in literary history. The Judeo-Christian Bible is also a common referent in that sense; many of the works included in the Hebrew Scriptures can be classified as sequels in that they continue and expand on a very general narrative that is pre-established by previous books in the same collection. In addition, the development of an official canon allows for the distinction between official and unofficial sequels; in this context, apocrypha might be considered an early form of informal sequel literature. Sequels, then, become an important facet of Western literature throughout history. The medieval genre of Romance, in particular, contains massive networks of prequel and sequel literature.
Sequels of the novel [edit]
The origin of the sequel as we think of it today developed from the novella and romance traditions in a slow process that culminated towards the end of the 17th century (see: novel).
The substantial shift towards a rapidly growing print culture and the rise of the market system by the early 18th-century meant that an author's merit and livelihood became increasingly linked to the number of copies of a work he or she could sell. This shift to a text-based to an author-centered reading culture[16] led to the "professionalization" of the author— that is, the development of a "sense of identity based on a marketable skill and on supplying to a defined public a specialized service it was demanding."[17] In one sense, then, sequels became a means to profit further from previous work that had already obtained some measure of commercial success.[18] As the establishment of a readership became increasingly important to the economic viability of authorship, sequels offered a means to establish a recurring economic outlet.
In addition to economic profit, the sequel was also used as a method to strengthen an author's claim to his literary property. With weak copyright laws and unscrupulous booksellers willing to sell whatever they could, in some cases the only way to prove ownership of a text was to produce another like it. Sequels in this sense are rather limited in scope, as the authors are focused on producing "more of the same" to defend their "literary paternity."[19] As is true throughout history, sequels to novels provided an opportunity for authors to interact with a readership. This becomes especially important in the economy of the 18th century novel, in which an author needed to draw readers back with the promise of more of what they liked from the original in order to maintain readership. With sequels, therefore, came the implicit division of readers by authors into the categories of "desirable" and "undesirable"—that is, those that interpret the text in a way unsanctioned by the author. Only after having achieved a significant reader base would an author was free to alienate or ignore the "undesirable" readers.[19]
This concept of "undesirable" readers extends to unofficial sequels with the 18th century novel. While in certain historical contexts unofficial sequels were actually the norm (for an example, see Arthurian literature), with the emphasis on the author function that arises in conjunction with the novel many authors began to see these kinds of unauthorized extensions as being in direct conflict with authorial authority. With Don Quixote (an early novel, perhaps better classified as a satirical romance), for example, Cervantes disapproved of Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda's use of his characters in Second Volume of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, an unauthorized sequel. In response, he very firmly kills the protagonist at the end of the Second Part to discourage any more such creative liberties.[20] Another example is Samuel Richardson, an 18th-century author that responded particularly strongly against the appropriation of his material by unauthorized third parties. Richardson was extremely vocal in his disapproval of the way the protagonist of his novel Pamela was repeatedly incorporated into unauthorized sequels featuring particularly lewd plots. The most famous of these is Henry Fielding's parody, entitled Shamela.[21]
In To Renew Their Former Acquaintance: Print, Gender, and Some Eighteenth Century Sequels, Betty Schellenburg theorizes that whereas for male writers in the 18th century sequels often served as "models of paternity and property," for women writers these models were more likely to be seen as transgressive. Instead, the recurring readership created by sequels allowed female writers to function within the model of "familiar acquaintances reunited to enjoy the mutual pleasures of conversation," and for their writing to be an "activity within a private, non-economic sphere." Ironically, of course, it was through this created perception that women writers were able to break into the economic sphere and "enhance their professional status" through authorship.[19]
Dissociated from the motives of profit and therefore unrestrained by the need for continuity felt by male writers, Schellenburg argues that female-authored sequel fiction tended to have a much broader scope. Women writers showed an "innovative freedom" that male writers rejected in order to "protect their patrimony." For example, Sarah Fielding's Adventures of David Simple and its sequels Familiar Letters between the Principal Characters in David Simple and David Simple, Volume the Last are extremely innovative and cover almost the entire range of popular narrative styles of the 18th century.[22]
Video games [edit]
Sequels in video games started in the early 1980s (for example, games such as Super Pac-Man in 1982). As software development costs have increased,[23][24] sequels have become increasingly important for the video game industry, as they provide a way to resell a product, reusing code and graphics.
Media franchises [edit]
In some cases, the characters or setting of an original film or video game become so valuable that they develop into a media franchise. Generally, a whole series of sequels is made, along with merchandising. Multiple sequels are often planned well in advance and actors and directors may sign extended contracts to ensure their participation.
This can extend into a franchise's initial production's plot in order to provide story material to develop for sequels called sequel hooks. For instance, the film Kung Fu Panda begins with Po, a giant panda, somehow having a goose for a father and the story deliberately avoids giving a definitive explanation of how that is possible. Po's quest to answer that question forms part of the plot of Kung Fu Panda 2, which in turn establishes Po and Tigress' deepening relationship and the last minute appearance of a supposedly dead species as story material for the next film.
Box office impact vs. original movie [edit]
Although movie sequels do not always do as well at the box office as the original, they tend to do much better than non-sequels, according to a study in the July 2008 issue of the Journal of Business Research. The shorter the period between releases, the better the sequel will do at the box office. Sequels also show a faster drop in weekly revenues relative to non-sequels.[25]
Media shifting [edit]
Sequels are most often produced in the same medium as the previous work (e.g. a film sequel is usually a sequel to another film). Producing sequels to a work in another medium has recently become common, especially when the new medium is less costly or time-consuming to produce.
A sequel to a popular but discontinued television series may be produced in another medium, thereby bypassing whatever factors led to the series cancellation. Noteworthy examples include the Star Trek films, Serenity (based on the Firefly series) and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. The television seriesBuffy the Vampire Slayer was continued after ending its run in 2003 for another "season" as a comic book. The Buffy series was itself a continuation of the unsuccessful film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Gargoyles television series' comic book series, written by series creator, Greg Weisman, was written with a specific agenda to supplant the events of the television property's derided Goliath Chronicles phase.
Some highly popular movies and television series have inspired the production of multiple novel sequels, sometimes rivaling or even dwarfing the volume of works in the original medium. An ongoing series of novels (largely interquels) begun in the 1970s were based on the original Star Trek series, with more following with the sequel films and TV series. The novels and graphic novels in the Star Wars Expanded Universe are sequels, prequels and interquels to the films.
Computer games are an increasingly common medium for sequels to films. The Matrix Online, Stranglehold, Scarface: The World Is Yours and Tron 2.0 are sequels to the films The Matrix, Hard Boiled, Scarface and Tron, respectively.
Whether these alternate-medium sequels are considered canonical, varies. Bungie Studios, the developer of the Halo video games, considers the novel sequels to be canonical. The novels, comics, video games and other media that comprise the Star Wars Expanded Universe are divided into tiers of canonicity by Lucasfilm, the films' production company, though the subject is often debated amongst fans. Likewise, novel sequels to the film Blade Runner are authorized and officially considered canonical, but the issue is also a topic of debate amongst fans.
Unofficial sequels [edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (March 2013) |
This section may contain original research. (March 2013) |
Sometimes sequels are produced without the consent of the creator of the original work. These may be dubbed unofficial, informal, unauthorized, or illegitimate sequels. In some cases, the work is in the public domain, and there is no legal obstacle to producing sequels, for example Jean Rhys wrote Wide Sargasso Sea as a parallel to Jane Eyre. In other cases, the original creator or their heirs may assert copyrights and challenge the creators of the sequels. For example, the estate of Margaret Mitchell sued over Alice Randall's novel The Wind Done Gone, a parallel of Gone with the Wind told from the perspective of the slaves; it was successfully defended as parody. Unofficial sequels to works that are still under copyright may change the names of the characters and alter the settings in an attempt to avoid legal action.
Other examples of such unofficial sequels include:
Novels [edit]
- Cosette: The Sequel To Les Misérables by Laura Kalpakian, created as a sequel to Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables. Cosette or the Time of Illusions and Marius or The Fugitive by François Cérésa, were also created as sequels to this novel.
- Psychohistorical Crisis by Donald Kingsbury was created as a sequel to Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy.
- The children's novels Le petit prince retrouvé (The Little Prince Returns), The Return of the Little Prince, Les nouvelles aventures du petit prince (The New Adventures of the Little Prince) and Mały Książę i Róża (The Little Prince and the Rose) were based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince.
Films [edit]
- Happily Ever After was created as a sequel to Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
- War, Inc. has been described by John Cusack as an informal sequel to Grosse Pointe Blank, as both films are dark comedies which feature Cusack playing a hitman.
- 20th Century Fox's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) was originally conceived as an official sequel to the studio's earlier hit Valley of the Dolls (1967). The first script written for Beyond included at least two of the characters from the original. Jacqueline Susann, author of the original novel Valley of the Dolls, objected to the studio making a sequel without her involvement and subsequently sued the studio. The names of the characters were changed and the actors who were in line to portray them again were released from the project. Beyond ended up needing a disclaimer at the beginning of the film and on all posters stating it was not a sequel, though much of the spirit was in the same vein as the original, with occasional references in costumes and dialogue.
Titles [edit]
The producers of sequels have taken a variety of approaches to titling their works.
In the early years of film, sequels were generally given titles similar to the original and usually made use of the main character's name. When the William Powell-Myrna Loy mystery film The Thin Man (1934) turned out to be a hit, the studio produced several more films featuring the characters, such as After the Thin Man and The Thin Man Goes Home, even though the original "thin man" was the subject of the mystery and not the detective. After the success of A Family Affair (1937), there came a whole series of films starring Mickey Rooney reprising the Andy Hardy character in titles such as Love Finds Andy Hardy and Andy Hardy Meets Debutante.
On the other hand, early sequels in world cinema often lacked any particular naming schemes. For example, the three films in Satyajit Ray's The Apu Trilogy (1955–1959) had unrelated titles: Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu). Similarly, Akira Kurosawa's Sanjuro (1962) also had an unrelated name from its predecessor Yojimbo (The Bodyguard) (1961). Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy also lacked a naming scheme for its titles: A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
The James Bond franchise stuck to the titles of Ian Fleming's novels until they ran out, then fashioned new titles with similar forms, none of which use the name "James Bond 007" or a number. The Pink Panther series started out with a different title for each (The Pink Panther, A Shot in the Dark, Inspector Clouseau) in the 1960s. When the series was later resumed, the new approach was to append phrases to The Pink Panther, many of which came from classic horror films, i.e. Son of Frankenstein, The Mummy's Curse. Even if the actual Pink Panther diamond that the series takes its name from is not involved in a given sequel, they were named The Return of the Pink Panther, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Revenge of the Pink Panther, Trail of the Pink Panther, Curse of the Pink Panther and Son of the Pink Panther to clearly associate them with each other.
In 1957, Hammer Films' follow-up to The Quatermass Xperiment was released under the simple title Quatermass 2. Numbered sequels (particularly using Roman numerals) became very popular in films and video games in the 1970s and 1980s. The Godfather Part II (1974) was the first major motion picture to use Part II in the title, and its success began a trend of numbered sequels, the titles simply adding a number to the title such as French Connection II (1975), and the trend continued with films such as Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), Jaws 2 (1978), Rocky II (1979) and Halloween II (1981). Occasionally, a homophonous word is substituted for the number, such as in the case of Look Who's Talking Too, the sequel to Look Who's Talking, or the upcoming film Fletch Won, which is a prequel to the film Fletch. As sequels developed a reputation of being inferior to the original works, the numbering of sequels became less common, or sometimes used for humorous effect. Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult is simply the third in the Naked Gun series. Leonard Part 6 had no predecessors, while History of the World, Part I was made with no intention for a sequel. Many sequels use subtitles instead of numbers or in addition to them, such as Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Underworld: Evolution, X-Men: The Last Stand and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In other cases, sequels use titles similar to their predecessors, such as Analyze This sequel Analyze That, Meet the Parents sequel Meet the Fockers and Night of the Living Dead sequel Dawn of the Dead. Some such titles give a playful nod to the numbering practice, as with The Whole Nine Yards sequel The Whole Ten Yards, 101 Dalmatians sequel 102 Dalmatians, or Ocean's Eleven sequels Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen.
Throughout this period of numbered sequels, like-named sequels remained somewhat popular, and sometimes the original film was renamed when it was released on home video to match the naming of the sequels. What was once known as Star Wars is now known as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark is known in its current video release as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark to better align it with its sequels, and the DVD of Pitch Black was renamed The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black to help promote it as a predecessor to its sequel The Chronicles of Riddick.
With the rise of pre-planned series such as The Lord of the Rings, filmmakers turned more to long titles that include the franchise name and the title of the film separated by a colon. Examples of these include Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Sequel-naming in translation varies. Following the success of Home Alone in Germany (German title: Allein zu Haus, or Alone at Home), some of Macaulay Culkin's other films were retitled to capitalize on the success (Uncle Buck became Allein mit Onkel Buck, or Alone with Uncle Buck), even though the two films were not linked in the same continuity. When Dawn of the Dead was released in Italy under the title Zombi, a similar but unrelated Italian film was in production, which was released as Zombi 2.
Numbers in the titles of sequels sometimes indicate the order in which the sequel was produced, regardless of the chronological events in the story. For example, the video game Devil May Cry 3 was the third title in the Devil May Cry series to be produced, though it is a prequel that takes place before the events of Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2. Devil May Cry 4 is set between the original game and Devil May Cry 2. However, while the sequel to the Japanese movie Ring was called Ring 2, the subsequent prequel was Ring 0.
Occasionally a work is designated as a sequel to an unrelated but similar work strictly for marketing purposes. After releasing the computer game Quake, developer id Software decided to name its next game Quake II, despite the fact that the two games' stories are completely unrelated. Quake III is also unrelated to either of the previous Quake games, although Quake 4 continues the story of Quake II. A further example is Capcom's Street Fighter 2010, which had nothing to do with any of the other Street Fighter games.
In recent years, many sequels have been given the name of the title character, to imply a new beginning for a series. This is commonly known as a "Stallone", for the actor who has given such outstanding examples of this nomenclature. The sixth Rocky film was titled Rocky Balboa; the fourth Rambo movie, following on from First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III was called Rambo in North America and John Rambo in many, but not all, international markets. Another example of a film to utilize a "Stallone" is the sixth St Trinian's film, titled St Trinian's. In a similar trend, the third sequel to The Fast and the Furious was simply named Fast & Furious, while the fourth sequel to Final Destination was named The Final Destination.
Yet another form of titling is the use of the plural version of the original work's title, as in Aliens, the sequel to Alien and Predators, a sequel to Predator.
Though very seldom, a proper sequel, and not a reboot, may have exactly the same title as the original work, with none of the variations mentioned above. The 2009 film Star Trek, is one such case; by means of a time travel plot it is at once a prequel, sequel and reboot to the 1960s television series of exactly the same name. An even clearer example is the 2011 film The Thing, which is a prequel to the 1982 film with the exact same title.[26] Likewise, the 2006 video game Sonic the Hedgehog is set later in the same continuity as the first game in the series, 1991's Sonic the Hedgehog. This is slightly more common in the world of music - artists as varied as Led Zeppelin, Weezer and Peter Gabriel have all followed up successful self-titled albums with another by the same name. Fans typically refer to them either by numerals (e.g., Led Zeppelin IV, Peter Gabriel 3) or by cover artwork content (e.g., The Green Album or Melt).

Cable Water Skiing On Snow ?
It's at this time of year the news of new hotels, lifts, pistes and everything else in ski resorts for next winter starts to appear.
Usually it's an old drag lift becoming a new chairlift, more snow making or a new luxury hotel but every now and then something new comes along.
Step forward duty-free paradise Livigno, in a fairly remote spot in the Italian Alps, but worth the effort if you want very affordable après skiing alongside a large ski area.
New for winter 2012-13 there is a 'Cable Snow Park' – a previously unknown concept that seems to be a development on the increasingly popular 'snow kiting' where skiers or boarders are strapped to a kite and dragged around a fairly horizontal snow field by the power of the wind.
In the case of Livigno's new cable snow park it's a machanised device with a cable dragging you around rather than mother nature.
Accessed from lift number 20 in the Fontana sector the new track is designed to entice wakeboarders and kitesurfers on to the snow as well as snowboarders and freestyle skiers.
The track will offer a variety of difficulty levels from beginners to advanced, and feature terrain park favourites including rails, box, a wall ride, rainbow rail and jumps.

Northville City Council Approves Traffic Control Order for Garage Restaurant
Right turns out of the restaurant onto High Street will be forbidden.
Patrons of the newly-opened Garage Grill & Fuel Bar in Northville will now be prohibited from making right turns out of the restaurant onto High Street.
At a Northville City Council meeting earlier this month, residents expressed concern about the traffic hazards caused by patrons of the newly opened Garage Grill & Fuel Bar.
Mayor Chris Johnson promised to look into the issue, and yesterday he and the board approved the recommendation from Police Chief Gary Goss to implement a traffic control order that will prohibit drivers from turning right while exiting the Garage parking lot onto High Street.
Because these traffic issues were also brought up before the Garage opened, the plan for the Garage's parking area included this driveway onto High Street that was designed to send traffic to Main Street instead of the residential neighborhood. The owners of the Garage posted a sign asking patrons exiting the drive onto High street to only turn left.
"According to our survey, patrons of the Garage restaurant are ignoring the left turn only sign," Goss said.
However, this sign is not official and police cannot issue citations for those who don't follow it.
Goss said the plan is to have two signs indicating it is a prohibited right turn - one at the driveway and one across from it. If the Garage owners decided to keep their sign, there will be three signs indicating to drivers that they can only turn left.
The order becomes effective when it is filed with the city clerk and proper signs are erected.

A step in the right direction to help the residents of High Street. However the problem of customers parking on High Street still remains a significant issue.

The reason Northville is a Ghost Town after 6PM is there is nothing to do and nowhere to do it. This was the case for years in Plymouth until restaurants and bars began to replace failed retail establishments providing places to "hang out" and visit with friends and family. I say this as a 60 year resident of Plymouth having gone to school and lived in the area since the "horse and buggy days" of both communities. Substantial numbers of Northville residents come to Plymouth and bring their money with them because there are places to go and things to do. Northville cannot be a viable commercial success in the downtown area without people traffic. Lifestyles have changed and stores selling $200 pairs of jeans and scented candles will not draw people in sufficient numbers to allow the downtown to survive. Northville has to get with the program and provide a destination for people to go to after work if they want all businesses to have a chance to succeed. If the Northville residents want a charming community and a nice place to live with very little to do at night then they need to do nothing to achieve that end. If however, they want a viable community with plentiful shopping and nightlife, they need look no further than Plymouth. The decision is theirs, as it should rightly be.

It is beyond my understanding how people are so lazy they cannot park across the street or down the block at municipal parking lots. If you are not handicapped, and cannot walk more than 20 feet, please stay home and order pizza delivery. You could not survive in an urban setting where people walk city blocks and the blocks in Northville are short downtown. Will The Garage be forced to hire valet service?

Bruce, I have faith in Downtown Northville and where it is heading. Give us a few years – we will soon give Plymouth a serious run on destination (Kool & Trendy) night spots. Plymouth is no longer the only town with bottomless mimosa's on Sunday too btw… ;)

I am absolutely in shock that this topic has had so much conversation. We just simply have it to good, way to good. The most we can complain about is a several million dollar investment in our town???? Whats next, should we start asking the flights inbound to metro airport to fly over Farmington Hills instead of Northville so we can take an afternoon nap??? With horrible things going on in our country, let alone the world, we find it at the top of the list to complain about an increase in traffic and parking. How blessed we truly are, I am giving thanks right now.

Some people (the evil rich according to some high ranking and over rated politicians) have decided to invest in our community. Let's make sure they pay their fair share in fines, bad press and excessive regulation. It's the NO-ville way. Maybe the police can set up a checkpoint right at the high street exit. I am sure they can nail a few patrons there. I was unaware that driving on High street is not allowed. Are these people playing rap music and doing donuts on the lawns? Get a life! The place just opened, give it a chance to do business and stop looking for something to complain about.
