My advice is join reenacting with him. I have a 7 year old son who just can't wait for the season to start. Last year, I started taking him with me to events and he loves it. He's met kids from other units that he plays with, etc. Then, he acts as flag bearer for our artillery unit. The best thing about joining with him is he gets to experience camp life, which allows him to play with his freinds after the public leaves (which, for a kid, is the most fun!! He'll learn about the CW just by being around it at the same time he is playing with kids his age). He also loves attending the Military Ball in the evening, listening to the music and dancing. If he really likes it (and, at that age he'll probably like it more if he gets to stay after the public leaves so he can play with his new freinds) then his interest will grow. To simply let him join in a battle only to go home afterwards means he's mising out on the "being a kid" part of reenacting that the young ones enjoy so much. Besides, you'll get to make new freinds, too, and enjoy it with just as much passion as your son. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!

Victoria Wilcox: Southern Son: The Saga of Doc Holliday--Canceled!!
This event has already happened. Try a search for similar upcoming events.
The name Doc Holiday conjures images of the Wild West and the shootout at the OK Corral, but before he was a Western legend, he was a Southern son, born in the last days of the Old South with family ties to the author of Gone with the Wind. Now this amazing story is told for the first time in a trilogy of historical novels. The story begins with Inheritance, set during the turbulent times of the Civil War and Reconstruction, as a young John Henry Holliday faces first love and family tragedy, honor and betrayal, and a violent encounter that changes his life forever.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Mr. Smith's wife has been in a coma for four months. The nurses have come to realise that she moves every time they wash her crotch area. The doctors think hard about this. They bring in Mr. Smith and say that they have a good idea. Perhaps if he practices oral sex with her she will wake out of the coma. Mr. Smith would do anything so he asks for some privacy. He soon rushes out saying, ''I think she's choking!"

Samsung Gem Review Pt. 2
After a late entry, US Cellular is doing quite well in the Android game. The latest addition, the Samsung Gem , is a fantastic option for first-time smartphone buyers or those looking to migrate over from competing platforms like BlackBerry or Windows Mobile. It's sporting an 800 MHz processor, 3.2-inch display, 3.2-megapixel camera, and a stock build of Android 2.2. It's no match to US Cellular's high-end Android phones like the HTC Desire or Samsung Mesmerize , but it's a decent... more...

Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".

I'd love to be there with you all, but apparently the payment on my credit card did not process in time for my monthly payment, so I am currently WoWless. :( Champion the gnomish cause for me, I'll be over here slowly succumbing to withdrawl symptoms.
Kindly please let the It Came From the Blog folks know (when the server comes back, tomorrow'ish) that Lissandra won't be on for a few days, until I can set up payments on my account again.

Use comparative genomic methods, microarray analysis, and co-infection studies to explore pathogenic mechanisms of bacteria associated with the porcine respiratory disease complex and their interactions with each other and swine viruses. Assess the usefulness of selected genes or proteins identified in comparative genomic analyses for DNA-based identification and classification, serological detection of infection, and potentially as vaccine candidates. Strategies for improved heterologous protection will be tested using live attenuated vaccines, as will the use of immunomodulators, such as granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), for therapeutic, prophylactic, and metaphylactic use to prevent and combat infectious disease and thus reduce antimicrobial usage to treat clinical and subclinical disease. Investigate emerging and potential zoonotic bacteria that could impact the swine industry. Investigations will focus on pathogen strain characteristics and differences, interactions of bacterial and viral pathogens with the swine host and the microbial ecosystems of the pig. Pathology of both zoonotic and endemic bacterial pathogens of swine will be utilized for the purpose of understanding disease pathogenesis and developing effective diagnostic assays and strategies to control these pathogens and diseases in swine and potentially in humans.

ATI Avivo™ HD3 Technology
Unified video decoder is a dedicated hardware block to decode and playback HD-DVD and Blu-ray content. Supports MPEG2, VC-1, and H.264 formats.
ATI Hybrid Graphics Technology1
ATI Hybrid Graphics allows both an ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 integrated graphics processor and a discrete graphics processor to work cooperatively yet independently of each other on an AMD based system to help provide better performance, productivity and power efficiency. Additionally, in systems operating under Windows Vista®, ATI Hybrid Graphics can provide the ability for an integrated graphics processor and a discrete graphics processor to work simultaneously for high performance or dynamically for additional power savings.
ATI Hybrid Graphics is an umbrella technology encompassing the four technologies below:
ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™2 Technology Multi-GPU technology enabling an integrated graphics processor (ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 graphics) and a discrete graphics processor (ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Series2, ATI Radeon™ HD 3400 Series or ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3400 Series) to simultaneously work together to boost 3D graphics performance in a Windows Vista® environment.
ATI SurroundView™ Technology Provides support for four or more monitors when you combine an integrated graphics processor (AMD 780 chipset-based motherboard) with a discrete graphics processor (ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Series2 or ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series). Each additional discrete graphics processor can provide support for two or more independent monitors. The integrated graphics processor and the discrete graphics processor work in parallel to drive multiple displays.

Sci. STKE, 3 February 2004 (Conformational Changes Associated with GTP Binding and Hydrolysis) Anita M. Preininger and Heidi E. Hamm*
1Department of Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville TN 37232-6600, USA.
------------ *Corresponding author. E-mail: heidi.hamm{at}vanderbilt.edu Movie. Conformational changes associated with GTP binding and hydrolysis. This movie starts with the inactive guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound form of the subunit of bovine transducin (Gt) bound to the βγ subunit shown in grey. In the G subunit, the helical domain is shown in red, and the GTPase domain is shown in green. The exchange of GDP for guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is followed by the changes associated with GTPase activity. Upon GTP binding and hydrolysis, regions in yellow color (switch regions) undergo dramatic conformational changes. Note the opening and closing of the switch regions that accompanies the GDP- and GTP-bound states. The movie was created by Cameron Slayden with the oversight of A. Preininger and H. E. Hamm and is based on crystal structures. The inactive GDP-bound state of G is based on PDB file 1TAG, the βγ is based on PDB file 1TBG, the active GTP-bound state is represented by the structure with the nonhydrolyzable analog GTPγS [PDB file 1TND], and the transition state between GTP-bound and GDP-bound state is represented by Gt bound to GDP-AlF4– [PDB file 1TAD], which is a transition state mimetic. The GDP-bound structure was morphed into each of the other structures by computer to provide an idea of how nucleotide binding and hydrolysis contribute to changes in structure during the G protein activation and inactivation cycle. The slow step in the overall cycle of activation and hydrolysis is the release of GDP. Technical Details Format: Video file (.avi) Size: 8.9 MB Requirements: This movie will play on the Windows Media Player or other standard video players. ------------ Citation: A. M. Preininger, H. E.

John Smoltz appears to be headed to Fox
With Spring Training baseball fully underway, Fox is gearing up for the new season. We told you earlier about MLB Network's Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci being the men to replace Tim McCarver on the MLB on Fox "A" team with Joe Buck. Now it appears Fox is about to tap MLB Network once again for another analyst.
The New York Times' Richard Sandomir reports that Fox is about to hire John Smoltz who also worked on TBS in addition to MLB Network.
Smoltz is considered to be an up-and-coming analyst and certainly could have replaced McCarver had Fox decided not to go with Reynolds and Verducci.

BLACKFOOT — Timmi Hutchings is appropriately nicknamed "Full Throttle." This will be the third year in a row she will compete in the Wrangler Division of the High School Rodeo Association. At the Idaho State event that took place in Filer, Idaho, June 1-3, Timmi won barrels; was second in goat tying and placed third in poles. She has the hardware to prove it. At state, she won two belt buckles, a saddle, a horse blanket, goat tying rope can and $900 for earning the all-around title.
TWIN FALLS — The Blackfoot Bronco American Legion team made their way back into the Twin Falls Wood Bat Tournament championship game for the fourth consecutive season and on Saturday Blackfoot laid the wood to Upper Valley as they won their third tournament in those four tries with an 8-6 victory. "It was an even game," Blackfoot head coach Jeff Katseanes said. "Upper Valley are legit. They were in the state tournament during the high school season so they're a very good team."
AMERICAN FALLS — Familiar foes collided on the diamond Saturday evening as the Snake River Panthers and the American Falls Beavers squared off on the Beavers home field for an American Legion double dip. At the end of a miserable day weather wise, the Panthers picked up a pair of wins over the Beavers as Cash Cardona struck out 16 would be hitters in game one in a 13-9 win and in the nightcap, Snake River pounded out 13 hits in a 10-6 game which was called when the automatic sprinkler system turned on in the home half of the sixth inning.

Research & Data
Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey
- Current Report
- Results Table
- Production Chart
- Comments
- Historical Data
Texas factory activity increased for the tenth month in a row in February, according to business executives responding to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey. The production index, a key measure of state manufacturing conditions, rose from 7.1 to 10.8, indicating output grew at a slightly stronger pace than in January.
Other measures of current manufacturing activity also reflected a pick up. The capacity utilization index edged up to 9.1, with a quarter of manufacturers noting an increase. The shipments index rose again in February, coming in at 13.3. The new orders index continued to indicate demand growth and was 9.5, down from 14.4 in January but above the levels seen toward the end of last year.
Perceptions of broader business conditions were not as positive this month as they were in January. The general business activity index fell to zero after eight positive readings in a row. The company outlook index also declined, from 15.9 to 3.4, hitting its lowest reading since last spring.
Labor market indicators reflected continued employment growth and longer workweeks. The February employment index edged up for a third consecutive month, rising to 9.9. Eighteen percent of firms reported net hiring compared with 8 percent reporting net layoffs. The hours worked index shot up from 3.4 to 12, reaching its highest level in more than two and a half years.
Upward pressure on prices and wages continued in February. The raw materials price index fell to 21.9 but remained high relative to what it was for most of 2013. The finished goods price index held steady at 11.2, a level well above the average over the last couple of years. Looking ahead, 43 percent of respondents anticipate further increases in raw materials prices over the next six months, while 33 percent expect higher finished goods prices. Compensation costs increased at a slightly stronger pace this month. The wages and benefits index rose from 21.6 to 25.8, hitting a six-year high.
Expectations regarding future business conditions remained optimistic in February, although most indexes of future activity fell from their January levels. The index of future general business activity moved down but posted a still-robust reading of 15.2. After hitting a three-year high last month, the index of future company outlook fell 12 points to 20.6.
The Dallas Fed conducts the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey monthly to obtain a timely assessment of the state's factory activity. Data were collected Feb. 11–19, and 93 Texas manufacturers responded to the survey. Firms are asked whether output, employment, orders, prices and other indicators increased, decreased or remained unchanged over the previous month.
Survey responses are used to calculate an index for each indicator. Each index is calculated by subtracting the percentage of respondents reporting a decrease from the percentage reporting an increase. When the share of firms reporting an increase exceeds the share reporting a decrease, the index will be greater than zero, suggesting the indicator has increased over the prior month. If the share of firms reporting a decrease exceeds the share reporting an increase, the index will be below zero, suggesting the indicator has decreased over the prior month. An index will be zero when the number of firms reporting an increase is equal to the number of firms reporting a decrease. Data have been seasonally adjusted as necessary.

Comments from Survey Respondents
These comments are from respondents' completed surveys and have been edited for publication.
Fabricated Metal Manufacturing
- Our February business was affected by the weather.
- The extreme weather throughout the U.S. impacted our ability to receive components needed in our manufacturing process. Weather also impacted revenue, as customers are unable to deploy products, resulting in increased inventory in the distribution channels and reduced requirements for manufacturing.
- Refinery activity slowed significantly due to the cold weather and the uncertain rhetoric coming from Washington and the EPA.
- We are experiencing a very modest (6 to 8 percent) recovery in the volume (square feet) of new nonresidential construction starts for buildings five stories and less.
Machinery Manufacturing
- Weather has been a significant near-term factor in our business. We estimate a 5 to 10 percent revenue impact in both January and February at this point. We expect the major construction boom along the Gulf Coast (associated with new lower cost gas and gas liquids supplies) to begin to favorably impact our business in the second half of 2014.
- It seems to us that the national economy is slowing a bit, and this economic slowdown will affect the Texas economy also. We believe we will see a small recession in late third quarter to fourth quarter of 2014.
- Winter is our slower time due to limited construction. May and June will tell if the general economy is getting stronger.
Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing
- We are getting information that the capital manufacturing businesses suffered a major slowdown due to the weather, transportation and materials problems.
- Order trends and shipments strengthen after the Chinese New Year, so we are cautiously hopeful that will turn into a strengthening first half of this year.
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing
- Health care costs have increased significantly—more than usual.
- Consumer activity is very strong, despite the horrible winter. We manufacture discretionary consumer goods sold through retailers and distributors. Our three largest resellers report retail sales (of our products) up 12 percent, 29 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Our number two customer reports sales trending up 54 percent in February. Weather will determine momentum. A long, bitter winter will negatively impact the spring selling season. We shall see.
Wood Product Manufacturing
- It is not unusual that our area (South Texas) is enjoying a recovery from the building downturn later than other areas. South Texas did not have the wild party and escalated prices (homes and other real estate) that many other areas had. Therefore, we may have entered the downturn after others, and again, have entered a recovery phase after others.
Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing
- The extreme winter we have experienced across the country, including Texas, may be affecting order volumes more than we think, but forecasted volumes into mid-2014 have decreased.
Paper Manufacturing
- We had a tremendous growth spurt in 2013, and it is looking like 2014 will be similar. It is traditionally slow in the first quarter, but we have not experienced any slowdown so far.
Food Manufacturing
- Increasing governmental regulations from all directions are taking up the time of many of our key people. We are spending more time on paperwork and regulations than on doing business. We believe that U.S. businesses need relief.
- It appears we are going to win new business, which will increase our sales substantially.
- Prices for dairy ingredients are at record highs and are greatly decreasing our margins. We are contemplating a price increase. We perceive the regulatory environment to be the most antibusiness of anything experienced in the lifetimes of the leadership of our company.
- The rising cost of raw materials has hurt our business.
Miscellaneous Manufacturing
- Our business has been impacted by the harsh winter conditions. We are assuming that the war conditions worldwide have not deteriorated.

Without weighing in on the current debate here, allow me to say methinks we should all be thankful that higher courts are in place to undo mistakes made by the general populace. If something doesn't pass a legal test it shouldn't be law; the whims of the general populace are to fickle to become the standard by which laws are made. Long live checks & balances.

Posted December 10, 2012 on
AP on Fox
Stephen Jackson,
Serge Ibaka,
Metta World Peace
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers
San Antonio Spurs forward Stephen Jackson was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Sunday for threatening Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka in a Twitter post.
Jackson posted the message after Ibaka and Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace got tied up during the fourth quarter of the Thunder's 114-108 victory on Friday night.
The post has since been deleted, but multiple outlets reported it read: ''Somebody tell serg Abaka. He aint bout dis life. Next time he run up on me im goin in his mouth. That's a promise. He doin 2 much.''
''The recent public comments made by Stephen Jackson are absolutely unacceptable, cannot be tolerated and do not reflect the standards held by the San Antonio Spurs,'' Spurs general manager RC Buford said Sunday night in an emailed statement.
The team said Jackson would be fined, but the punishment would ''be imposed in consultation and coordination between the Spurs and the NBA.''
It was unclear if Jackson faced additional punishment from San Antonio in the wake of the NBA fine.
Jackson apologized to Ibaka on Twitter on Sunday, calling his post ''unprofessional and childish.''
Jackson has played for seven different teams in 13 seasons in the NBA. He is perhaps best known for his role in the Pacers-Pistons brawl in 2004, which also involved World Peace - then known as Ron Artest - and resulted in a 30-game suspension for Jackson.

I hear it is a phenomonal place to fish.My question is, any recommendations on a good member friendly resort or lodge there. I looked the web over and there are many to choose from and you know how that goes, one runs into the other and then they all seem the same. Not wanting to take anything away from any of the choices, I figured who would know better than the folks and members from the area.Any help folks?Thanks so much in advanced.Charlie Marysville, MI

Technically, it's called the California Zephyr, but AMTRAK offers plenty for the Silver State enthusiast.
Photo: Sunny Minedew
Two long. One short. One long.
This train signal has been part of the sounds of Nevada for more than 100 years and, like mining, is an intimate part of the state's heritage and infrastructure.
Sadly, however, a majority of Nevadans have never been on a train, much less know the rich resource at their fingertips.
AMTRAK's California Zephyr chugs across Nevada from Chicago to Emeryville, California, and back, offering Nevadans a charming overnight to Winnemucca or a day trip to the Reno area from the rural outposts.
With a late afternoon departure from Reno, eastbound passengers pass names and places of Nevada's past (Preble, Prince Royal, and Star City) and, depending on the time of year, are treated to glorious sunsets before reaching Winnemucca, the town founded by Frank Baud after he arrived in the early 1860s to work on the Humboldt Canal. If the passenger has not sampled the cuisine in the dining car, then there is time for Basque dining or steak offerings around town.
Should one not choose to spend a day exploring the history and sights of Winnemucca, an early o'clock departure brings passengers back to the glass cubicle station while the train makes a 10-minute crew change and proceeds west under dawn skies, depositing the traveler back in Reno early enough to go to work.
For those coming from Wells, Elko, or Winnemucca, the wee-hour departure provides time for completion of their nocturnal routine, gently rocked back to sleep by the click-clack of the rails. A full day (or more) in Reno is capped by dinner on the return train and another slumber on the way home.
Reflective of much Nevada landscape, the lands between Reno and Winnemucca narrate sudden fortunes as well as dashed hopes. For a century and half train lines have traversed the Great Basin landscape, moving product and people, connecting to a web of other lines that have come and gone.
The overnight escape to Winnemucca from the west or day trip to Reno from the east provide adventurers with several tracks to satiate their senses.
For the visual, a stupendous slice of Great Basin natural landscape almost crawls into one's lap. Whether seated in the Vista-Dome, a private cabin, the dining car, snack bar, or general coach, ample windows provide dramatic geology, two distinct rivers, and unique Nevada communities. Weather and season ensure an ever-changing panorama; the trip is never the same and easily documented by photograph/video.
For the sound-oriented, there is the rhythmic cadence of the rails, the announcements by train personnel, as well as the digitally generated safety check reports every few miles.
For the cerebral, there is historical reflection about what was a major Indian trail and the Humboldt River that became the path of pioneers following land lust or dreams of mineral wealth in the era of Manifest Destiny. From Reno to Fernley, the rails parallel the route of the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District, one of the first projects spawned by the Water Reclamation Act of 1902, the largest federal public works program after the Railroad Acts, exemplary of the "Age of Agriculture".
Whether temporarily stopped to allow a freight train to pass, experiencing the whoosh of cargo trains bound in the opposite direction, viewing box and flat cars "parked" at strategic points, the transition and importance of rail to the Industrial Age is apparent. And that the whole experience is monitored by a computer system in Omaha is exemplary of the Information Age.
For the verbal, there is the opportunity to have anonymous conversations or the chance to form life-long friendships with other passengers who may be someone residing in your neighborhood or one of many travelers from places around the world who have chosen to visit the expanses of United States, safely transported in one of the metal tubes careening from point to point on the remaining network of passenger rails.
There are few opportunities to combine such intense physical and mental stimulation with the same relaxation in a 24-hour trip rooted in three centuries. All aboard!
National Train Day
May 7
Reno Amtrak Station
280 N. Center St., Reno
Start Time: 8:15 a.m.
End Time: 4:30 p.m.

Looks Cold: LEGO Star Wars On Hoth
This is a little gallery of LEGO Star Wars scenes on the planet Hoth created by skilled LEGO player-wither (this word wizardry is getting out of control!) Avanaut. And allegedly there was no Photoshoppery involved either. So I can only assume Avanaut knows a little bit about magic himself. Just imagine if we combined our powers!

CYPRESS, CA - Christie, a global leader in visual solutions for entertainment, business and industry, announced that Supercines, the largest and most modern cinema chain in Ecuador, selected Christie CP2000-SB digital cinema projectors to equip its newest 15-screen multiplex in Quito, the capital of Ecuador. Headquartered in Guayaquil and owned by Corporación El Rosado S.A., one of the region's most important industrialist groups, Supercines has theaters in all of the country's major cities. It has earned a reputation for revolutionizing the cinema-going experience in Ecuador through the introduction of innovations such as stadium seating, tri-amplified Dolby® digital sound, and high resolution wall-to-wall screens.
Martin Schwartz, general manager of the Entertainment Division for Corporación El Rosado S.A., observed, "Supercines' audiences enjoy the latest releases shown on equipment that represents the state-of-the-art in image and sound. We have had excellent results working with Christie; the Company has played an important part in our success over the years. Christie digital projectors are extremely reliable and very easy to maintain and service. In our conversion to digital technology, we have been getting exceptional technical support from Christie's expert technicians and from our supplier, Cinema Equipment and Supplies, based in Miami, Florida. We have plans on the drawing board for many more digital cinemas in the near future, and look forward to continuing our working relationships with them."
The newest Supercines, a 15-screen multiplex in Quito with 7 exclusive VIP areas, features the Supercines Giant Theater, GT-MAX. It has the biggest screen in the world, more than 77ft x 44ft (23.5m x 13.5m) and provides an overwhelming viewing experience, especially in 3-D. Christie CP2000-SB projectors are used to project exceptionally large, bright 3-D images on the giant screen.
"We installed two Christie CP2000-SB digital cinema projectors with Christie Brilliant3D triple-flash technology, providing full 2K resolution for 3-D, the most light output, and maximum lamp efficiency," said Guillermo Younger, president of Cinema Equipment and Supplies. "We plan to install another CP2000-SB projector for that multiplex in the next few months. All the digital projectors in the Supercines chain are Christie. Along with Dolby 3D servers, QSC amps and speakers, and Christie CDXL and CXL lamps, they project the best picture possible on the screen. Supercines plans to install a total of 19 Christie CP2000-SB digital projectors and Dolby 3D by the end of the year."
Jaime Sanchez, sales manager, Cinema Equipment and Supplies, added, "Over the years, Supercines has demonstrated its dedication to entertaining its customers with the highest quality equipment and facilities. Our decision to work with Christie was based on previous experience with their projectors, which have proven to be highly reliable, cost-effective and perform consistently. We know the show will always go on with Christie digital projectors."
Ecuador, located in the center of South America, has a population of close to 14 million. It is home to Corporación El Rosado S.A, whose diverse commercial activities include entertainment such as cinemas, shopping malls and radio stations.
HOLLYWOOD, CA - Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS), through its Technicolor Business Group, today announced that it is now offering both digital cinema image detection watermarking solutions available on the market, Cinefence and Nexguard, both offered by Civolution.
"By providing our customers with the only two digital cinema watermarking detection services available on the market, we enable them with full flexibility when it comes to protection and analysis of digital cinema pirated material," said Curt Behlmer, head of Technicolor's digital cinema business.

In addition to digital cinema watermarking, Technicolor also offers forensic image watermarking embedding and detection services for video and film prints, as well as audio watermarking across Dolby SR, SRD and DTS formats, and file and tape based watermarking.

Ede, Holland - The CineMec complex in Holland is a state-of-the-art Cineplex which doubles as a conference centre. Housed in a contemporary building with striking architecture, the award-winning enterprise, owned by Gerben Kuipers, is located in Ede, just 50 minutes from Amsterdam.
This summer the operation made its boldest statement yet with the opening of the new 3D CineMec XL - the largest 3D screen in Holland - with 20,000 watts (RMS) of purpose-designed QSC cinema surround sound helping to build the atmosphere.
The auditorium can host over 1,000 visitors and some seats can be lifted to the ceiling to convert the cinema into a multi-purpose hall for concerts, congresses or similar events.
Dutch-based specialists FTT Filmtronics B.V. (FTT) based their audio specification around a matched system from QSC Audio, using no fewer than 44 loudspeakers.
This includes a combination of their SR-46 4 x 6.5in two-way surround speakers, SB-7218 dual 18in subwoofer, SC-444 four-way (4 x 15in) screen channel speakers. These are powered by ten QSC DCA2422 and four QSC DCA1222 two-channel digital cinema amplifiers, controlled through an advanced DCM30 processor.
This device provides signal processing and monitor functions in a single integrated system, optimising loudspeaker performance and covering cinema systems ranging from three to five screen channels, 5.1 and 7.1 systems. DCMs are also compatible with all cinema processor formats including Dolby Digital Surround-EX and DTS-ES.
Thomas Ruettgers, General Manager of FTT's head office Film Ton Technik in Germany, says: "There are quite a number of special features that have to be taken into account when implementing such an extraordinary project. QSC products are perfectly designed to meet all these special requirements - that is why we decided to install their audio systems at CineMec in Ede."
Danny Pickett, Key Accounts Manager QSC Audio Products LLC, stated that it had been a pleasure to work with FTT to satisfy the client's unique needs.
"Working in this exciting space has really paid off for all involved - especially the audiences attending shows there."
With a seating capacity for 1050 people, 160m2 (20m x 8.10m) of silver screen and two Christie digital projectors, CineMec XL has immediately established itself as the leading digital 3D cinema in Holland.
Having also been the first company in Holland to go digital (back in 2003) CineMec today has no less than eight modern digital theatres.
It is also proving to be an important venue for hosting key conferences for national corporations - offering facilities ranging from live satellite transmissions in high definition format on the big screen to infinite digital sound and image potential for audio-visual presentations. In fact part of the ICTA (International Cinema Technology Association) seminar took place there in June.
CineMec XL kicked off this summer with a specially-constructed 3D programme - including U2 3D to coincide with the band's concert in Amsterdam Arena on July 20-21. It is using its new 3D system with passive 3D glasses (each eye served by its own projector, each equipped with a circular polarisation system). This means that both the left and the right eye receive only the images provided by its respective projector.
The demand for 3D films in Holland is increasing rapidly they say, and spread over a seven week period, CineMec registered 3836 visitors to the film Bolt in 2D as opposed to 5168 to the 3D version of the same film. This developing worldwide trend was confirmed during this year's International Cannes Film Festival, when the latest 3D animation film Up from Pixar opened the festival to positive press reviews.
Washington, D.C. and North Hollywood, Calif.- The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) announced today the election of new officers ¬- the first chosen by the Executive Board of Directors under a recently enacted board restructuring at the association's annual meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach, Calif.
Elected to two-year terms were - Tony Kerasotes, Chairman and CEO, Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, as Chairman; Aubrey Stone, President, Georgia Theatre Company, as Vice-Chairman; Amy Miles, CEO of Regal Entertainment Group as Treasurer; and re-elected as Secretary, Mark O'Meara, President, University Mall Theatres.
The association's two-day meeting came at the end of a record-breaking summer at the box office amidst a troubled economic climate in which box office and attendance continue to exceed the previous year. 118 members celebrated the robust state of the movie theater industry while discussing issues of common importance to theater owners, such as camcorder theft, digital cinema and 3D projection. Universal Pictures chairman Marc Shmuger keynoted a private dinner for exhibitors.
NATO's outgoing Board of Directors recently enacted sweeping changes to the association's governing structure, creating a streamlined 17-member Executive Board intended to be more efficient, more representative of the makeup of NATO's membership, and more directly responsible for the association's governance. The Board of Directors now becomes a 97-member Advisory Board, charged with consideration of the broader issues facing theatrical exhibition.
