The Great Republican Retirement Party
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In a recent interview with Time magazine, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay explained his frame of mind behind his decision to resign from the House of Representatives months before his office expired: "I'm a realist. I've been around awhile. I can evaluate political situations." DeLay added that he relied on divine counsel to make his decision:
Time: You said you prayed about it?
DeLay: Oh, yeah. Ohhhh, yeah. (chuckles) I spent a LOT of time praying about [it].
In all likelihood so did the House Democrats who have been out of majority power since 1994. Tom DeLay's resignation came under a cloud of federal and Texas state investigations into his activities and those of his closest associates. He is the second Republican to depart the 109th Congress -- the first was Randy Cunningham, who pleaded guilty for tax evasion and accepting bribes, and exited stage right last December.
Democrats have a chance to see how voters respond to cries of the "Republican culture of corruption" in the April 11 special election for Cunningham's seat in California's 50th District (San Diego), which is being contested by Democrat Francine Busby against Republican candidates like Howard Kaloogian. Kaloogian is a former state assemblyman whose campaign has come under fire from posting misleading photos to portray a blissfully calm Iraq on his website and listing false endorsements from Republican officials and conservative organizations.
But while those two resignations have seized the headlines, there has already been a slow trickle of retirement announcements coming from 17 longtime Republicans. Many of the retirees are powerful silverbacks, committee chairs like Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y., of the House Science Committee; Bill Thomas, R-Calif., of the Ways and Means Committee; and Henry Hyde, R-Ill., of the International Relations Committee. Hyde nearly lost his seat in 2004 when an insurgent grassroots challenge with virtually no funds or media attention received 44 percent of the vote.
Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, one of the most recent to announce his retirement, is leaving after 24 years in office. Boehlert's 24th District in New York narrowly went for George Bush in the 2004 election with 53 percent of the vote. Three Democrats are facing off in the state's Sept. 12 primary for the House nomination.
Nine House Democrats have announced retirements so far this year. A recent competitive House political race chart from the Cook Political Report newsletter listed four open races in congressional seats vacated by Democrats as potentially winnable by Republicans, while suggesting that 10 open races in seats vacated by Republicans stand a good shot at being taken by Democrats.
While DeLay's resignation from Congress leaves just one seat open, the story of his descent -- from temporarily stepping down as majority leader while under indictment in his Texas redistricting case, to losing his leadership status permanently, to watching his closest staff face federal charges in the Abramoff investigations, to his outright resignation from Congress -- is the perfect tonic for a Democratic Party seeking to pin the country's woes on 12 years of Republican leadership in the House. Coming against a backdrop of a highly unpopular foreign occupation in Iraq and a president whose popularity ratings are lurking in the mid-30s, DeLay's actions could instigate a raft of new announcements.
The spate of retirements is not part of the GOP's strategic planning to sustain a majority in Congress. National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) chairman Tom Reynolds told reporters this March, "I want our members to stay put. … I expect a couple more [retirement announcements]."
Even professional GOP cheerleaders are having a hard time seeing any silver lining in the cascade of Republican retirements. Norman Ornstein, a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, told The Hill , "If you look at past experience, it would suggest that you tend not to get a last-minute rush" of retirements. "I think that actually the scandals, the problems, the headaches may cause a number of people two or three months from now to decide that maybe it's time for a change, maybe they need to spend more time with their families. … I think we could see up to 40."
It has also been rumored in Republican circles that fallout from corruption scandals related to lobbyist Jack Abramoff could force a retirement announcement in the Senate from Montana Republican Sen. Conrad Burns.
The 19 open seats Republicans now have to defend (including Cunningham's) in the 2006 elections are not as many as the 31 Democrats had to defend in 1994, and 16 of those 19 seats were carried by George Bush in 2000 and 2004. But with Democrats in Congress now polling over 50 percent with a historic 15-point lead in a generic ballot seven months before the general elections, there's a lot of time for incumbent Republicans to consider the future and whether it might be better spent with the family.

Dr Oetker calls digital pitch for frozen pizzas
Dr Oetker, the food manufacturer, is looking for a digital agency to work across its frozen pizza brands, the biggest of which is Chicago Town.
The company is understood to be on the verge of holding chemistry meetings with four or five agencies and is using Creativebrief to help with the pitch process. Other frozen pizza brands in Dr Oetker's stable include Ristorante and Casa di Mama.
The winning agency will replace Amaze, which was appointed to enhance Dr Oetker's digital offering for its Chicago Town pizzas in 2010. In a statement, Amaze said it had recently "parted company on mutual terms due to a client conflict".
This latest pitch does not affect Life, which retains the lead strategic and creative brief for Dr Oetker and its frozen pizza brands.

Blotter serves up the weird Twin Cities news fit to print
The lawsuit filed last year accusing Norm Coleman's buddy of trying to funnel cash to the then-senator has surfaced once again, this time with more evidence to back up the allegations.

All-Summer 1st Team
Kyrie Irving – PG / #7 overall – Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick - 2010
ED's Breakdown: The PG spot was a tough choice because there are so many quality options, but what Irving did in July, specifically in Orlando is hard to top. Irving dismantled arguably the top two teams – All-Ohio Red & Team Final – in summer basketball basically by himself. He's got all the tools to be a big-time floor general at the next level, as he's got a terrific feel, knows how to run a team and has exceptional ball-handling and vision.
Schools Involved: Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Seton Hall, UConn and Texas A&M.

Report: Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin emerges as USC's top choice for football coaching job
Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin has emerged as the top target for USC to fill its vacant head coaching job, according to Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News.
The school is looking to replace Lane Kiffin, who was fired in September after a 62-41 road loss to Arizona State.
The school named defensive coach Ed Orgeron as the interim coach. According to the report, the school hopes to hire its next coach sometime next month.
Sumlin has been at A&M for the past two seasons and makes $3.1 million a season.
TV analyst Jon Gruden, Boise State coach Chris Petersen, Vanderbilt coach James Franklin and Denver Broncos interim coach Jack Del Rio have been mentioned as possible successors to Kiffin.
STAPLES: Making sense of the Nick Saban-to-Texas talk; Walkthrough
More from the Daily News:
Sumlin, who has won 30 games the past 2 1/2 seasons at Houston and Texas A&M, is also mentioned as a possible candidate at Texas and is one of the hottest names in coaching. There could be a bidding war after the season and he might even draw interest from NFL teams.

Pretty Flamingo Lyrics - Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Review The Song (1)
On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo pretty flamingo
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

Poignant Lyrics timeless | Reviewer: Peter Robb | 9/8/2007
Hi affectionadoes
I was driving to Otago University this hot Spring morning and these lyrics were so relevant to my life at present. I have heard Manfred Mann singing this before out but it sounded better in 2007. It is all about giving young/ all guys hope. Like the Betty Grabel pin ups and decals on planes in WW2.
There is this girl you see... Julia Roiter Berenszstejn who caught my eye at Design Studies in 2007 . She is that type of girl in the lyrics by Manfred Mann [truncated]. She has a great flair for fashion and comes from Rio de Janeiro ["out of reach... out of sight"]. Not only does she brighten up my heart but the neighbourhood [when she walks by...].. This guy wishes he could make her his[ if he just could...]. She walks like a catwalk model["moves so fine like a flamingo"]. Her hair is like gold ["glows like the sun"] and way down her back. She does these amazing hair flips with it. Her face is very atavistic and her eyes ["can light up the sky"]. "Some sweet day" I would like us to have a meaningful relationship and well [paradise is where..."] I hope both of us would be. The only thing is some other guy has just made her his...and she will not go out with me.. However after being a bit set back by her decision, the song by Manfred Mann Earth Band this morning rekindled my hope that some sweet day I will make her mine and paradise may be a reality if Julia is agreeable. This song 'Pretty Flamingo' is so poignant after all these years to the springtime and contemporary notions of love.
It is a bit sexist from the PR and male perspective but hey, guys need hope right..?

How a Hotel Chain Transformed an Airport Security Area
Those departing Chicago on the way to their summer vacation are about to have another reason to smile, as heading through airport security at O'Hare just got a little better and little more bearable. For most the shoes still need to come off and the laptops will need to go on the belt, but the whole scene will be more enjoyable thanks to some sponsorship and decoration from the folks over at Marriott and SpringHill Suites.
We've seen something like this before, but we certainly can't complain about anything that makes the airport security process that much more enjoyable. Through a partnership with the aforementioned hotel chain as well as the TSA and the airport authority things are a little bit different over at checkpoint number three within the airport's Terminal 1.

Save the Date for Chicago's Double Whammy of Airport Runway Runs
It's that time of the year again, when airports welcome people, in place of planes, to run on their runways while the weather is sunny and the skies are blue. While other airports are still ironing out the particulars, Chicago's double whammy of runway runs is already asking you to "save the date."
It's only the second year for a run at Chicago's second airport, Midway. The Midway Fly Away 5K will be sponsored by Southwest and will benefit Chicago Childrens Charities and the Special Olympics. The run on what MDW calls "the world's busiest square mile" will happen September 21, and other runways will most definitely still be active.
Across the city, Chicago's own United Airlines will once again host the O'Hare Run on the Runway, with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. You've got more time to train for this race, as the 5K doesn't hit the calendar until October 5. Fingers crossed United rolls an aircraft out to the finish line for photo ops, as they've done in past years. Expect over 3,500 fellow runners of all ages and abilities (and walkers are welcome), so be ready when registration opens soonish.

Your Next International Flight from Chicago's O'Hare Airport Might Not Suck
If your travels have brought you through Chicago O'Hare's International Terminal, then you may have noticed that it's hardly the nicest place to spend some pre-flight time. Alas, that was then and this is now, because as of last week, passengers are now being welcomed into a totally refreshed Terminal 5, featuring Chicago hometown brands and international boutiques.
The project totaled $26 million and two years of overhauling, but the terminal now boasts a wider variety of airside activities. Chicago restaurant masters, Lettuce Entertain You, have opened several of their mainstay eateries (Big Bowl, Wow Bao, Urban Olive, Hub51 and R.J. Grunts) and, if you need a pick-me-up, there's Intelligentsia Coffee for delicious brews and Wicker Park deli, The Goddess and Grocer for nibbles. No drama if you've got your heart set on Frontera Grill's tortas, since Rick Bayless has this terminal covered as well.

United to Finally Equip Airport Gates with Charging Stations
Stay a little more connected during your next flight with United, as the carrier is doing their best to keep you charged up during your time at the gate.
The airline is adding around 500 charging stations to airport terminals and gate areas. Their home at Chicago O'Hare International Airport is the first to get the installations and upgrades, as they're already hard at work putting in more than 100 such stations across the airport's Concourse B and Concourse C.

Downward Dog During Delays at O'Hare Airport's New Yoga Room
Believe it or not there's no better place to relax than the airport, and that's especially the case as more and more places are adding a little yoga to the terminal and concourse menu. We've mentioned a few of the airports where you can practice your warrior or cobra poses, and now's there's one more airport that's all about stretching it out during your layover.
Chicago-O'Hare is famous for a lot of things, and you can now add yoga to that list. The place now has a yoga room right within Terminal 3, and it's situated right next door to the airport's indoor garden. The yoga studio features bamboo floors, mirrors along one side of the room, plenty of yoga mats, and a spot to store your stuff while you are doing your thing. There are even frosted windows within the room to let in a little more light, and to kind of create a less sterile environment.

Where to Purchase a Thanksgiving Pie on Your Next Airport Layover
If you're already on your way to visit the family for Thanksgiving we understand if you forgot to bring a pie or some dessert. Unfortunately, your Great Aunt Mildred won't understand, so you might as well pick something up at the airport. We can't guarantee that you'll find the world's best pumpkin pie, but at least there's a few options at the airport.
For those connecting through–or heading to—Minneapolis-St. Paul there's a solid option within Terminal 1, as French Meadow Bakery Café calls Concourse F home in its location near Gate 3. They've got cookies, pastries, and other organic bakery goodies, and we wouldn't be surprised if they had something special just for the Thanksgiving. If you're only looking for yourself it appears that they're cooking up a warm seasonal fruit crisp, so go for that if you're looking to sneak in an early dessert before Thursday.

Four US Airports are Already Rocking Awesome New Automatic Passport Kiosks
Word to the wise: automated immigration kiosks are the new hotness. These machines process the passports of US & Canadian citizens in a matter of seconds (minutes, if there's a line), and we foresee it one day pushing the Global Entry program to the curb. Oh, and it's free.
How to use the kiosks:
Simply roll up to one, scan your passport page, confirm that the screen has your ID and arriving flight info correct, tap to answer "no" to the usual "are you bringing anything weird into our country?" questions, and a camera snaps your photo and prints a receipt of the transaction. Show that receipt to a man in a booth (no waiting!), he'll stamp your passport, and you're free to enter baggage claim. You'll finally yield that receipt to the customs inspection officers after baggage claim, with minimal bother and no queuing.
Who's got them:
As far as we know, there are four US airports with immigration kiosks up and running for holders of US passports. They are:

Fingers Crossed That Chicago-O'Hare's New Runway Lessens Airport Delays
Big news out of Chicago-O'Hare, as the rumor is that the airport will no longer face any delays. Okay—you caught us—we're exaggerating a little bit, but there is some news out of the airport that should make things run a little bit smoother on your next trip through the area.
Late last week the airport's new runway opened up for business, after over a billion dollars was spent to get things constructed. Initially airport officials were quick to point out the runway's merits, as the claimed that typical delays due to the weather—it was overcast—just weren't happening thanks to the new piece of asphalt.

Video Interlude: This Time-Lapse Look at the Windy City Will Blow You Away

More than half of the population of Illinois calls Chicago home and with it being a world class city, millions of travelers either come to walk the Magnificent Mile or spy on the city from one of two rooftop sky-decks. Whichever category you fall into, you can't help but to be awe-inspired with this video.
Clocking in at just over 6 minutes, Windy City Nights is a beautifully shot time-lapse video that showcases everything that makes the Second City awesome. Max Wilson is the film-maker and spent about 2 years traipsing around Chicago to nab the perfect shot as the rest of the world whizzes by. Spoiler alert: his hard work paid off.

Airport Parking is a Rip-Off, Sure, But At Least It Won't Cost Your Life Savings
We know that airport parking can get expensive. Even if you plan ahead and park in a remote lot, just a few days can make quite the negative dent in your bank account. But after hearing one traveler's total bill to pull her car out of an airport parking lot, be thankful that you only pay as much as you do.
After having her car parked in a lot at Chicago's O'Hare for three years, one Chicago resident was socked with a parking bill for $106,000. The car owner, Jennifer Fitzgerald, actually didn't park her car in the lot; it was her then O'Hare-employee boyfriend who abandoned the 1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in November of 2009 in an employee lot.

How to Run on a Runway at Chicago's O'Hare Airport (and Not Get Arrested)
Have you ever wanted to walk on a major airport runway? Hopefully you never have to because of emergency circumstances (see an example of that here), but there is a legal (and safe) way to take a stroll on one of Chicago-O'Hare's runways, and that's by registering for the 5K/10K On The Runway.
Okay, so its not so much a stroll as it is a full-fledged race, but the highlight is without a doubt the ability to run down an actual runway and, when you've finished and caught your breath, visit a United plane for a photo op. United is one of the sponsors of the event alongside the Chicago Department of Aviation and WLS Radio, and they've brought a 747 for the photo op in the past. Fingers crossed the 787 makes an appearance this year, but it's best just to focus on finishing the race for now.

Data Sharing
IRS Commissioner Daniel Wefel testified at a congressional hearing when the official in charge of the Affordable Care Act was unable to attend. (File photo).
Despite concerns that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are behind schedule in preparing to implement the Affordable Care Act, leaders from CMS and the Internal Revenue Service testified before Congress on July 17 that their technologies will be ready for the data-sharing that will commence Oct. 1.
"The ACA designates HHS as the conduit for information being shared with the marketplace," said Daniel Werfel, the principal deputy commissioner of the IRS. "The taxpayer data supplied by the IRS will be transmitted over secure, encrypted channels to the HHS data hub, which was developed to facilitate these data transfers."
Werfel testified in the place of Sarah Hall Ingram, who is the head of the IRS ACA office and was invited to testify before the House joint subcommittee. Several lawmakers criticized Ingram for her absence.
"I have less confidence in today's hearing for only one reason: a key witness, Sarah Ingram, who has three years of full-time experience since the passage of the bill, in some inexplicable way finds herself unable to be here," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said.
Before stepping into her current role, Ingram was the head of the IRS office of tax exemption for organizations when conservative groups were allegedly targeted, making her an especially polarizing figure for many Republicans in Congress. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), ranking member on the panel's Energy Policy, Health Care and Entitlements Subcommittee, warned against making the hearing into a witch-hunt. Speier instead turned her concern to outside fraud and security threats to data-sharing related to the ACA.
"I believe that the hub has a bull's eye on it and that the potential for it being hacked is great," Speier said.
CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner, however, said there is a difference between the federal data hub and stored medical information.
"It is important to understand that the hub is not a database, it does not retain or store information," Tavenner said. "It is a routing tool that can validate applicant information from various trusted government databases through secure networks."
Henry Chao, CMS' deputy CIO and deputy director of the Office of Information Services, said the Government Accountability Office reported the federal data hub will cost $394 million. The vast majority of data exchanges through the hub have tested at less than 10 seconds, and the hub erases its copy of the information within minutes, he said.

Answers (2)
Lee Ving (born Lee James Capellaro; April 10, 1950 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American musician and occasional actor, most famous for his role as lead singer and rhythm guitarist for Los Angeles-based punk band Fear. In the late 1960's Ving joined Sweet Stavin Chain Blues Band in Philadelphia, playing with Michael Brecker and Eugene Busnar; they played shows with B. B. King, Buddy Guy and Cream among others. Later, Ving moved to New York and formed the band Daybreak. In the mid 70's, Ving moved to Los Angeles and formed the punk band FEAR in 1977. Ving has also sung for the band MD.45, which also featured Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and Jimmy DeGrasso of Suicidal Tendencies. The 2004 re-release/remastered record replaced his vocals with Dave's voice. He has also sung country music in the outlaw country genre with the band Range War. Right before Fear, Lee had long hair and played in a six piece blues act called Easy LoveAnswered by shintsie, 05 Feb '09 08:12 pm

Photos and Description of this 6 bedroom holiday villa in Gavalochori - Villa Metapothia
6 bedrooms (all with en-suites) sleeps 12
Villa Metapothia
Villa Metapothia stands on a quiet hillside overlooking the village of Gavalohori in prime position to enjoy magnificent vistas towards Crete's distant White Mountains and sea views down the green and wooded valley to nearby Souda Bay.
Villa Metapothia is extremely well appointed, furnished and equipped down to minute detail. On the upper two floors, all four bedrooms have the bonus of air-conditioning and en-suite's as well as their own individual terraces, with patio furniture and sea or mountain views. The master bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite WC and wash hand basin with a hydro massage bath.
At pool level and with their own entrance doors are two further spacious twin bedrooms, without air conditioning, but both with en-suite shower rooms. One has its own covered terrace overlooking the barbecue area, whilst the other faces towards the entrance driveway and is furnished with sofa beds as a day room, ideal perhaps for teenagers needing their own space!
With soft ochre walls : Below a neat ensemble of terracotta tiled roofs, Villa Metapothia stands on a quiet hillside overlooking the village of Gavalohori in prime position to enjoy magnificent vistas towards Crete's distant White Mountains and sea views down the green and wooded valley to nearby Souda Bay.
At first floor level the main entrance leads into the extensive open plan living area. To one side, a comfortable sitting room has sofas and an easy chair grouped around a large fireplace set in an attractive wall of local stone, plus a massive picture window to make the most of the views down the valley.
At the far end of the living area: A breakfast bar separates the superb fitted kitchen, designed by Diane rather than Yiannis, with an abundance of storage cupboards and work surfaces, plus all mod cons, including eye level oven, ceramic hob, large fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave and espresso coffee machine. To the rear of the kitchen is a guest WC and wash hand basin and also a washing machine.
The formal dining room, set between the kitchen and sitting area, has its own large picture window with views over the village to the mountains as well as a useful little bar to one side, complete with a CD HiFi system. Doors from here and the kitchen, open onto a covered terrace, with a large marble topped patio table for informal meals and from where steps lead down to the beautiful 9m x 5m pool, with a Jacuzzi in one corner, plus adjoining children's pool

China shoots for 800 million web users by 2015
The Chinese government is hoping to close the country's digital divide further by bringing a whopping 800 million of its citizens online by 2015, according to its latest pronouncement. The 'internet development plan' for 2011-2015 was unveiled on Friday by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Xinhua reported. …
But they aren't actually online ...
... they are behind a very draconian firewall.
There is, in my mind, a huge difference.
Re: But they aren't actually online ...
"average broadband speeds, at just 1.4 Mbps,"
It wasn't that long ago when that would have described the UK. Cabling up a nation with roughly 20% of the world's population within its borders still with a huge proportion being agrarian working class living in the countryside is a somewhat larger challenge than BT faced!
No entry sign
What's the point? Pretty much all of what they see is under draconian control by their so-called government anyway. There'll be even more demand for VPN's!
Must read headline carefully...
I totally missed the word "for" in the headline... that seemed to me a drastic way to reduce broadband requirements.
Given the Great Firewall of China, surely this should read "the 'INTRAnet development plan' for 2011-2015..."
Firewall factor
They see half the internet at best, so divide by two.
Re: Firewall factor
Given that most of the rest of the internet is in English and likely don't ship to China I doubt a large percentage really care.
Its a first step...
Sure there is a firewall in place and I fully agree that people aren't fully free to do whatever they want. But its a good start in the right direction.
Rome wasn't build in one day and IMO you also can't expect countries like China to drop the whole communistic ideals over a day as well. Because in the end that could very well lead to chaos, and with a country as big as China I think that's in no ones interest, including the people living there.
If you look at China now and 30 years back then there is no denying that people have gotten more freedom. Sure; they aren't free by our standards but IMO you can't reflect on everything solely based on your own environment. Sometimes it doesn't work that way.
Example: many Chinese were actually happier when Google filtered the search results on their own accord then when denying to do so and being ordered by the government. Why? Because by applying filters themselves Google also showed the people which sites were blocked 'on demand' (by the 'firewall') and which weren't. In a way you could argue that by applying filters to their search engine in the way Google did they gave people a slightly bit of extra freedom (to see for themselves what is blocked or not instead of being left to wonder if the site was dead or a filter was being applied).
Yet many people in the 'free West' considered it highly immoral that Google would even do such a thing. Yet once again: when placed into context things may actually be a lot less evil than it may seem.
Just my 2 cents...

November 28, 2014
Small business owners in Nebraska say a new law proposed by the Department of Labor could be devastating to the farming economy.
They gathered to speak out today at the state capitol.
The Farm Bureau, detasseling companies, and the teenage detasselers the law would protect all say it's a bad idea.
The Department of Labor bill would stop kids under the age of 16 from working on farms not owned by their parents.
As many as 80,000 kids aged 13 and up work as detasslers in Nebraska each year.
Opponents of the bill say the job is much safer than it used to be and is already goverened by strict guidelines.
The teen detasselers say the summer job provides them with much needed money for college and other expenses.
One Farm Bureau representative says he understands the need to keep kids safe on the farm, but the bill is just too broadly written.
The owner of one detasseling company says she doesn't think the people who wrote the bill know the detasseling industry even exists.
The goal of the Department of Labor's bill is to protect young teens working on farms from potentially fatal accidents.
Public comment on the law ends Thursday.
To comment go to www.regulations.gov.

"Getting and instant quote from your website was a very smart decision for me. The phone call was turned into a very friendly conversation as the technician really knows how to deal with customers. I needed to replace my windshield on my Sierra and I phoned a lot of auto glass repair services but it was you that I got a response from right away. Next time I'm sure to call you guys. Thanks again."
Marian Dillahunt
"Auto Glass Now is awesome! My car windshield was broken on Saturday, all the others glass shop I called for repair gave me dates that were so late! I called Auto Glass Now and they gave me an appointment right away! And then the windshield was installed in less than an hour's. I will tell all of my friends about Auto Glass Now! Excellent Service!"
Gary Clendenin
"Great guys to work with, I see them as partners helping me keep the SAS wheels turning! From the moment David answer the phone I experience the best customer service, from ordering the glass, to schedule, and install. I have been a loyal customer for 5+ years. Keith does an excellent job on the installation, quick and clean, no issues! Great team, they are the best to asset you! "

"As I was driving on my way to a party at around 9:00 in the evening I passed by a construction site suddenly I heard a bump in front of my car from I-don't-know-where, so I had to stop and check. To my surprise, I had a crack in my windshield. I called my insurance company and they referred me to a representative from Auto Glass Now, and in an hour they came to me and do the repair. And I had to say they are fast, not to mention that after the repair, it looked new."

There have been umpteen adaptations of Stephen King's works, but very few arrived with a screenplay penned by the Top Dog of Terror himself. One that does is A Good Marriage, the tale of a terrible family secret.

'We went in fearlessly': Stephen King on adapting 'A Good Marriage' for film
What would you do if you found out a beloved family member was responsible for an unspeakable series of crimes? That's the hook of the director Peter Askin's new horror-thriller A Good Marriage, an adaptation of the Stephen King novella, which arrives in cinemas and on VOD Oct. 3.
Mark Romanek in talks to direct 'Shining' prequel
Mark Romanek, who directed One Hour Photo and Never Let Me Go, is in talks with Warner Bros. to direct a prequel to The Shining. Overlook Hotel will tell the story of the original owner of the cursed Rocky Mountain hotel, which was the setting for Stephen King's novel and Stanley Kubrick's 1980 movie with Jack Nicholson.

The original 'Carrie' is the movie that made me want to be a critic
The release of Kimberly Peirce's faithful, solid, efficient, and therefore essentially pointless remake of Carrie gives me the opportunity to look back at the 1976 original, which is still one of my favorite films — and, in fact, one of the most important movies of my life. It's one of the two films, the other being Robert Altman's Nashville, that made me want to be a critic. And that's because Carrie did more than thrill, frighten, and captivate me; it sent a volt charge through my system that rewired my imagination, showing me everything that movies could be. I'll never forget the first time I saw Carrie, at my local mall the day after Thanksgiving. I was a teenage geek who was fast on his way to becoming a movie freak (in this culture, we all need a role, and that would be mine). But I was still finding my way in cinema world, so even though the film had been out for close to a month, I knew nothing about it. I hadn't read any reviews; I had never heard of the director, Brian De Palma, or Stephen King, whose 1974 novel the movie was based on, or any of the actors. READ FULL STORY
A movie prequel to 'The Shining'? Stephen King isn't so sure ...
Warner Bros. has been exploring the possibility of a movie prequel to The Shining for quite a while, but the project just got a jolt of new life with news that The Walking Dead's former showrunner Glen Mazzara is in talks to write it.
But does the studio that released Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation have the rights to move forward? That's a question the studio wasn't able to answer definitively when EW asked last summer, and Stephen King himself recently expressed doubts. READ FULL STORY
'Room 237': Check out the poster for the awesome new documentary about Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' -- EXCLUSIVE
In Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic The Shining, Scatman Crothers' chef Hallorann warns Danny Lloyd's Danny to stay the hell away from room 237 of the Overlook Hotel — which turns out to excellent, if ignored, advice. But while room 237 is to be avoided, the new documentary Room 237 is a must-see, one which EW's Owen Gleiberman has described as a "mesmerizing pop-art document." The work of first-time director Rodney Ascher, the film showcases the theories of five obsessive Shining fans as to what Kubrick really intended with his Stephen King adaptation and features footage from both that snowy chiller and many others.
Room 237 opens theatrically on March 29 and will also be available on VOD, SundanceNOW, and other digital outlets from that date. You can check out the film's trailer, synopsis, and — exclusively — the new Room 237 poster below.
'Shining' doc 'Room 237' has a bloody amazing new trailer -- VIDEO
The best non-fiction film I saw last year — and maybe the best film I saw, period — was The Shining documentary Room 237. Directed by Rodney Ascher, the movie showcases the theories of five unseen Shining obsessives about what Stanley Kubrick really intended with his 1980 Stephen King adaptation. The end result is at least twice as entertaining — and at least five times funnier — than that synopsis might indicate. (My colleague Owen Gleiberman did a much better job of summing up the movie when, in the course of writing about his favorite movies of 2012, he described it as "a veritable Kubrickian Da Vinci Code that's really about the power that conspiracy theory now holds over our thinking.")

'The Dark Tower' falls: Warner Bros. takes a pass on Stephen King fantasy epic
Six months ago, EW wrote a very different headline: "'The Dark Tower' lives."
That's when Warner Bros. executives began considering filmmaker Ron Howard's proposal for a multi-movie adaptation of Stephen King's six-gun-and-sorcery fantasy epic. (The movie — and an accompanying TV series — had already been dropped as too expensive and too risky by Howard's home studio of Universal Pictures.)
Sadly, for those hoping to see Roland the gunslinger's quest on the big screen, Warner Bros. has come to the same conclusion, sources close to the project confirm. READ FULL STORY

Foil Labels
Attention Grabbing Labels & Stickers
Elevate your brand while stopping customers in their tracks with custom printed foil labels. Gold and silver labels are an effective way to add instant visual impact to anything you want your target audience to immediately see. Foil labels work in a variety of markets like food, beverage, bath & beauty, and promotional. Want an even more eye-catching look? With the use of other inks, we can tint the metallic label material to create other colors that go perfectly with your brand, product or sales strategy. Our customization options will allow you to create one-of-a-kind labels and stickers in any shape, size, color or design.
Check out our article on foil labels to learn more about this material and cold foil stamping.
Different Colors Available
Metalized silver paper or film can create a lustrous "foil look" and tend to be more cost effective alternatives to hot or cold foil stamping. With the use of spot colors, unique colors like blush and champagne can also be achieved for a unique, metallic look. Applying a white underprint onto these materials can mask specific foil areas so only parts of the label are foil.
Achieve a High Quality Look
Shiny metallic labels aren't only eye-catching, they can communicate elegance for a high quality appeal. We can die-cut your metallic labels and stickers into any shape or size to achieve the exact look you want. Your dedicated customer service rep will be glad to help you decide which cutting die, metallic material and printing method are best suited for your project's needs.

For Napa locals - where do you eat?
- s
- SeoulQueen Sep 13, 2009 07:46 PM
For all the locals who live in the Napa region - where do you go for a good dinner without the high prices?
I'm visiting next month with the primary objective to taste and buy wine. So need affordable recommendations for dinner, ie places the locals flock to for well cooked meals. I've checked the Chowhound threads and there are plenty of suggestions for Bouchon, Martini House, Ubuntu etc. Yes, these places sound amazing but I'm not looking to eat at restaurants where the entrees alone cost $30-40! (gulp!) Any places where entrees are more along the $15-25 price range? Or is that impossible now in Napa? I (and my wallet) thank you!
re: rworange
Martini House can be affordable depending on what you eat. The tasting menus can be expensive, but you can go a la carte and spend less. I recommend going to their cellar and getting the best burger in town (only $16 with onion rings), it's a huge burger and is easily filling, but don't miss their charcuterie plate which is all house made.
I'm just a starving culinary student, so for less expensive meals I go to the Mexican Markets like La Luna or Azteca. Taylors is a rip off. Tra Vigne pizzeria isn't too expensive. If your staying in Napa, then there are lots of taco trucks. Unfortuneately Napa County isn't the best place for budget meals.
Pasta Prego on Jefferson and Claremont Way is a hidden gem. Black Bear Cafe on Soscol has been open about a month is is always full...it is a chain. Red Rooster on 29 and Trower. TAco trucks. Martini house does a take out dinner every night until 6 that is very reasonable.
Pica Pica in Oxbow Market
Pizza Azzurro on Main and Clinton in Napa
La Playita - three words: tacos al pastor - on Old Sonoma Road at Jefferson in Napa
La Taquiza near Vallerga's on Redwood road (okay for a fish taco fix)
La Luna market in Rutherford
Lucy Gore's take out meals on Thur and Fri nights are fantastic - pick up is on Industrial Way in Napa: http://www.lucyfoodnapa.com/
I used to say Uva on Clinton in Napa, but it has changed hands and I haven't been since - anyone have an update?
Bounty Hunter on First and Main in Napa
Zinsvalley on Browns Valley Road in Napa - soon to move downtown http://www.zinsvalley.com/
Ad Hoc - I think $49 for four courses of simple, delicious food is a deal
Bistro Don Giovanni
I haven't tried the pupusa truck on Soscol nr. Silverado Trail yet, but have heard great things
re: Junie D
My friends and I just went to Uva last week and it's still good. We've gone there at least once a month for the last few years and have never had a bad meal. Plus, they waive corkage for each bottle you buy so we usually buy a bottle of white (because it's cheaper than red) and bring a good bottle of red. Service has always been very good as well.
Another place we like is The Pearl. I love their tacos and pork chop.
re: calalilly
Glad to hear that about Uva. Yes, I'll second Pearl. Very eclectic menu and always tasty.
re: Junie D
It's good to hear that Zinsvalley is moving. I never figured out how they were able to stay in business that long with that location. I'll vote for Tres Hermanos over Playita for tacos al pastor. Actually Frida's is pretty good for carnitas if you can get over that initial tire smell from the tire shop next door.
I'd like to toss Cook in St. Helena in there for a good meal at the original poster's price range. Limited menu, not much in terms of seating (and thus usually crowded) but what they do cook they cook pretty well and the dishes range from $18 to $25.
re: Junie D
Good list, Junie D.
Second Azzurro Pizzeria, early meals at Martini House, the taco trucks, Bounty Hunter, La Luna burritos, BarbersQ for pulled pork sandwich and fried chicken but nothing else. Not a fan of Oxbow for dining, but Model Bakery and Fatted Calf work for buying picnic stuff.
Speaking of which, picnics are a great way to dine inexpensively. Buy stuff at Vallergas and Whole Foods deli section (actually rather amazing) in Napa; and at Dean & DeLuca and Sunshine Market (my favorite) in St. Helena.
BarbersQ's fried chicken ($16?) on Sundays is worth the drive. I was not impressed by their BBQ.
As a local who tries to keep things in the $10-20 range including beverage and tip . . ., Villa Corona for great mexican food - a locals favorite tucked behind Umqua bank in the Trader Joe's shopping center on Trancas. Great for any meal, but especially their machaca for breakfast and their camarones dishes later in the day. Both Thai places in Napa serve reasonably priced meals which are fairly good. Sushi at Fujiya in the factory stores center has been there long before the factory stores were built and is good - the owner Eiko is always on site to oversee the meal. Try the Sanchez roll . . .
Great middle eastern food downtown at Small World - love their falafel plate salad. There are plenty of places to eat for low $. Enjoy!
It looks like Napa (the town) has the most choices and that's not too far from where I am staying. I've got Oxbow Market, The Pearl and Uva on my list -exactly what I was looking for. I will also include Martini House (burger/a la carte) and Cook in St Helena.
The 4 course meal at Ad Hoc sounds intriguing - what are portion sizes like as it may end up being too much food for me?
re: SeoulQueen
Here's a tour of one street in Napa where 2 Mexican food aficionados had a nice day and one exceptional dish.
"if you are in Napa... Antojitos La Mixteca's Chileajo (Pork Ribs in Dried Costeno Chile & Sesame Seed sauce) is one of THE best Mexican dishes in all of Northern California... and the Cucumber Agua Fresca is among the most distinctive Aguas within a 100 mile radius.'
re: SeoulQueen
You can also eat at the bar at Ad Hoc without having to have all four courses (and you pay less, but I'm not sure how much). The portion sizes are as big or not as you want them, and they're happy to give you leftovers, and also seconds.
re: SeoulQueen
One more lunch suggestion: the porchetta sandwich at Fatted Calf. Seating is outside at picnic tables.
I'd say the portions at Ad Hoc are "just right," I never feel too full after eating there. Sitting at the bar if you want fewer courses is a great idea. But I bet you'll want all four.
re: Junie D
Do I need reservations to sit at the bar? ? I didn't know you could just roll up and sit at the bar and order fewer courses than their 4 course dinners. Is it possible to just walk in and get a table for dinner (all 4 courses) or do I HAVE to reserve?
re: cyberroo
I was planning to go to Ad Hoc either Mon or Tues night the 2nd week in October. Will it be busy with tourists given that it's harvest season? Provided they don't have a 24 hr cancellation policy, I could reserve and then cancel on the day if I don't like the menu. Or do you think I can wait and book that day?
re: SeoulQueen
Seoulqueen, Do not miss the Mushroom Soup @ Martini House. It rocks! Share a bowl of it (downstairs in the bar, by the fireplace if you can score it....) before your burger. adam
Since you seem interested in places like Ad Hoc, you might consider Brix which is nearby. Mon-Fri there is a happy hour from 4-6 where all the dishes on the bar menu are half price. Many of the wines and cocktails have the same discount. They have a really swell cheese plate and at half price it is quite the bargain. The burger is very good as well. Nice pizzas. These are full dishes, not little bitty bites
Ninth Annual Chowing with the Hounds Picnic! October 3rd, 2009
re: rworange
Look into Bayleaf. They treat you like family, good food, and nice wine selections.
re: KJP
Bayleaf's dinner entrees are in the $30 to $40 range. Definitely more than SeoulQueen wants to spend. Bayleaf caters to the Silverado Country Club crowd, with an old-school, fine dining vibe. It is overpriced and most of the food is not worth it, but there are some surprises there like the housemade pita. And the Fahmy family is delightful.
re: Junie D
How's the food and prices for that Vietnamese place next to Ubuntu?
re: rworange
I haven't eaten at Annalien in about 6 months, but I have enjoyed each visit, mostly because it is a relief to have something different in Napa. Not sure it holds up for people who get good Vietnamese food regularly. Prices are more than you would expect, entrees probably in the $15 to $25 range?
1142 Main St, Napa, CA 94559
re: Junie D
Annalien does not hold up to other Vietnamese restaurants in the bay area but if you live in Napa its ok. Its within SeoulQueen"s budget but its not an inexpensive or budget place.
re: rworange
First off, it's not Vietnamese. Worst Vietnamese spring rolls of my life. Lamb curry that was definitely not curry -- had no flavor -- and included nearly whole carrots! Truly awful. And not cheap. We split the spring rolls, each had an entree, and the bill was more than $80. Take a pass. Much better meals are to be had elsewhere for the money.

Why Mary Ann Jordan chose Santa Monica
Best Location! Steps to Trendy Montana Avenue Shopping Area.
What makes this studio unique
Enjoy hanging out in the Lovely Garden!!
Guestbook comments from the owner
We have just spent over a month at Mary Ann's 'Garden Hideaway' as a base for exploring Santa Monica and the Los Angeles area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The apartment is small but well-designed to include all the facilities we needed; plenty of closet space, a well-equipped kitchen, a good bathroom and a bedroom with a large and very comfortable bed. The location is quiet and the second-floor windows overlook a well-stocked garden.
We didn't hire a car but found a very extensive bus network took us everywhere we wanted to go. Seniors could go anywhere on the 'Big Blue Bus' network for just 50 cents a ride whilst the red Metro buses only charged Seniors 25 cents a ride 'off-peak' and 55 cents a ride during rush hours. Bus rides took us to Malibu, Redondo Beach, Downtown L.A., the San Fernando Valley as well as Beverly Hills and Hollywood Blvd. We also recorded some 230 miles on our pedometer!
We enjoyed a great winter holiday and found the Mary Ann's Garden Hideaway a very agreeable place to stay at, for which we thank her.
