Terry: Germany game serious
19 Nov 2008 - 07:15:36
England captain John Terry has insisted that the friendly international against Germany in Berlin will be a deadly serious affair.
Fabio Capello's side will be weakened by the absence of several regulars, including Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, but Terry has no doubts that the game will be keenly contested.
He said: "These games are still massively important, especially coming here to play the Germans who beat us 15 months ago at Wembley.
"That setback is still in the back of my mind, losing in front of our own fans to Germany given the history between the two sides over many years.
"We also know how massive the game will be for the 7,000 fans who are travelling here, plus the many more back home who will be watching the game.
"I can assure you the game certainly means a lot to us as players. I know there are a couple of injuries and a few people have pulled out, but the squad is coming here to win and the manager has stressed that from day one.
"It is disappointing when people start questioning the commitment of the players. Playing for your country is the ultimate and Frank Lampard was willing to play with an injection.
"You want to go away and give everything for your country, but what this game does do now is maybe throw up a few opportunities for some young players."
Of his own foot injury, which has proved not to be too serious, Terry added: "I picked up a knock in the 86th minute (at West Brom) and, to be honest, I initially thought I had broken a bone in my foot again.
"But I had the scan and I am 100 per cent fine. I've trained with the team and there is no problem at all."

2000 Toyota Celica GTS
6speedwoows Posts: 1i have and after research so do alot other people have a blown up 00 celica gts. these cars have a transmition problem wich toyota is not willing to adress 2nd has no syncros so the shift from 3rd to 4th could be your last when you accidently get 2nd. i strongly reccomend that if you are looking at the celica steer clear of the 6 speed modle untill toyota can fix this problem. i plan to file a law suite and if any of you would like info please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com p.s. if you have a gts 6 speed and have not blown it up good for you i do not need to hear that i do not know how to drive chances are i am a better driver than you. and you someday will miss that shift garanteed.
bclough Posts: 97
roadroach Posts: 131I'm curious: was the build-date on your car before or after 1/1/00?
Did you get 2nd by accident on an upshift (3rd to 2nd instead of 3rd to 4th) or on a downshift (5th to 2nd instead of 5th to 4th)?
I have noticed that if I try to hurry the shift and don't get it right, the shifter is a little balky. But I can TELL that it is balky and don't release the clutch. So yes, I have missed my shift, several times, but I have always been able to tell when it is not in the right gear so I haven't done any damage.
Sorry to hear about your car. -
bclough Posts: 97Well, I did it -- put a deposit down. The car has been lingering on some lot since June, and is the only spoiler-less Celica in a six-state area. It is a 2000, too. I assume it was one of the really stripped-down models that they advertise in the papers, to draw in customers who can then be seduced by the sunroof and spoiler and alloy wheels. It is a GT automatic, and the only option it has is the floor mats and power windows. I am in a weak position, since they know I want a car of this type and it is the only one. OTOH, they aren't in such great shape either, since if I don't buy it nobody will, and the 2001s are already on the lot. It will also have rather a few miles on the clock for a new car, since they will drive it here. I am thinking $18K would be a nice opening offer for it. Opinions?

coupe2001 Posts: 100Brenda, I hope im wrong about this, but if you put down a deposit on a dealer trade that normally starts the buying process. Meaning that they are retrieving the car for you and that you have agreed on a price. As an ex-salesman, if you had no grievance over the window sticker then I would assume that you are paying full price. I would think that the dealership would have got you to sign a buyers order for the vehicle when they toke your deposit. That buyers order would have the exact price you are going to pay for the vehicle. This dealership sounds like it is poorly run.
The celi will be driven to your dealership. Dealerships do not haul vehicles back and fourth on trucks. They usually get a couple of retired individuals to go get it.
Before you sign anything, take a good look at the paint. Vehicles that sit on the lot for several months without washing can develope severe acid rain damage. My wife had a Contour DX'ed from another dealership and after we toke delivery of it we notice the clearcoat was peeling away. They had to repaint the whole car. -
bclough Posts: 97coupe2001, I didn't see the window sticker. I saw nothing with any prices on it at all. The salesman agreed that it was unreasonable to buy a vehicle without seeing it, and that if I didn't want the car after I saw it I would get my deposit back. So I assume we will discuss price after the car arrives here. I will certainly inspect the paint job carefully, though -- thanks for the tip.

bclough Posts: 97Well, we shall see, coupe2001. I can easily imagine all kinds of disasters yet to occur. (A momentary distraction by the courier driver as he passes a semi on the interstate would do it!) But at the moment it looks good! They figure it'll take a week or so to get the car here, so nothing's going to happen for several days.

00gts Posts: 42Check out http://www.PHROnline.com. They have just about every aftermarket performance part for the new Celica. They have some of the lowest prices out there, too!
bclough Posts: 97I did it! Today I bought the only spoiler-less Celica in the mid-Atlantic. I paid $17,660, which was $200 over invoice. I feel unbearably smug, but in fact this was the 'internet' price.
The car had only 200 miles on the clock, which is just about the distance from my dealer to Virginia Beach, its first home. Apparently this was the car that starred in the newspaper advertisements, their no-options low-ball car. Nobody was ever interested enough to even drive it. And as a 2000 model, it was definitely Cinderella. Luckily, I am the only buyer in a six-state radius who wants a car just like that.
My daughter immediately programmed all the radio buttons and tried out the CD player. It did not skip, but you wouldn't expect a player to skip sitting parked in a garage. Tomorrow I will try out on the road. The only problem with the car at this moment is that the passenger-side speaker has conked out. I will start a little list of minor fixes, for them to deal with under the warranty. (This is why I wanted a -new- car.)

dedav8tr Posts: 1Mine has over 10,100 miles on it since June and have driven from Connecticut to San Francisco (hot weather and cold), through deserts and mountain passes...and it runs like a top. It really is a great car. Average around 33mpg at 80mph. City driving is much less around 25mpg.
I have a GTS 6spd non sunroofed '00...probably the only one that exists. So for those of you who want that special order car, it can be done. It took mine 4 months and 2 weeks to get. I'm tall 6'5" so I couldn't fit in one with a sunroof (sunroof takes 2 inches off the head height).
My recommendation (after much research) is the GT-S 6 speed manual. It's got the control of a GREAT shifting gear box (with short throws) and the exhilerating pull of the variable valve. In regards to the tight gears--shift properly using good technique and noting mph for each gear shift, you won't have any problems.
Yes the stereo has gotten a bad rap. But the dealers will replace it in a heart beat...they are aware. So no big deal (takes about 2 weeks).
It really is a great car and I love mine. By far the best bang for the buck and reliability to boot.

khenriksen Posts: 4The GTS is my wifes car and she wants to buy an MR2 Spyder. The 6-speed trans and the computer have both been replaced and she has had the GTS since new, around March of this year. I put ~8K miles on it this summer when we went from Chicago to Seattle, down PCH to LA, then back thru Vegas, Cripple Creek, etc. I may try eBay if I get no response here ( I bought a perfect 87 RX7 Turbo last June and it really worked out well ). It was a great trip thru the mountains, really a great road car. BTW, I have changed the oil every 1500 miles and the filter every other change. The trans started grinding when downshifting into 4th, and the check engine light kept coming on, giving a misfire code, even tho it never seemed to misfire to me !!
kwrohrer Posts: 11once or twice. It went away by the next day.
I did hear that the radio is just wired in somehow rather than using a plug connection. I don't know the details, but I wonder if the skipping and the crackling could be mechanical problems with the electrical connection? It would certainly explain why they never managed to figure out why my radios didn't work... -
lesterinindy Posts: 6Just an update for all those fortunate people out there that own a 2000 Celica. I just noticed that I have turned 7500 miles on the car and have had no trouble (except for the fabric on the drivers seat, which was replaced by the Dealer). As I was driving in this morning I noticed that after 7 months of having the car, I still find it a real kick to drive. One thing that is a requirement in any ownership of this car is a radar detector. Can't remember how many times it has saved me from a ticket. I also can not remember when I have had a car the after 6 months is more appealing to me than when I bought it.
I do have a question. I'm a volunteer firefighter and have been know to have my turnout gear on (pants) when I am driving the car to a run. Is there a place out there that has an nice set of seat covers for sale. The ones I put on the car do not look all that good and I am afraid of picking up material snags (the car is leased). Any suggestions. Also has anyone put a subwoofer in theirs, if so what is a good one to get (that will fit and wire up). Lester in Indy -
coupe2001 Posts: 100Heather, I calculated a GTS with your options at 500 over invoice and a payment of 278/month at 7.5 % APR. The problem will be finding a GTS with Auto and Sunroof only. Most GTS rides have more equipment, spoiler, ABS, allot of E-shifts have leather.
Being price conscious, you should consider insurance cost too. I found that a GTS was gonna cost me almost 3 times the cost of the GT. That's why I ordered a GT.
Don't blame you for wanting the GTS, that E-shift is cool!

Dear Friends,
On September 26-29, 2011, the Association of Theological Schools of the United States and Canada (ATS) will conduct a decennial reaccreditation review of Catholic Theological Union. ATS is the official accrediting body for the school and it conducts this comprehensive review every ten years for member schools. Protocols for the visitation encourage the school being reviewed to notify its wider public about this process.
Nearly two hundred guests gathered at CTU on Sunday, August 28, for a lecture and liturgy as part of the ongoing "Sundays at CTU" series. Steve Bevans, S.V.D., Louis J. Luzbetak Professor of Mission and Culture, presented the lecture "Reaching for Fidelity: What It Means to Be Catholic Today."
Are you, or is someone you know, a young adult discerning a life of service in the Church as a lay ecclesial minister, religious sister or brother, or priest? Consider attending the Catholics on Call Young Adult Summer Conference 2011. Geared towards 18-30-year-old contemplating lives of service, vocation, or ministry, Catholics on Call is currently accepting applications for their four-day summer conference. The conference takes place at Catholic Theological Union, 5401 South Cornell Avenue, Chicago, August 9-13, 2011.
Chicago, IL, May 9, 2011 –Catholic Theological Union will honor Mr. Harold Gershowitz, Sr. Mary Collins, O.S.B., and Rev. Thomas Coughlin, O.P. Miss., at its 43rd Commencement Ceremony on Thursday, May 12, 2011, at 7:30 p.m. The ceremony is held each year at K.A.M. Isaiah Israel Congregation in Chicago. Nearly one hundred graduates representing twenty-two countries will receive certificates or Master level degrees in the areas of Biblical Ministry, Pastoral Studies, Theology, Divinity, and nine students will receive Doctor of Ministry degrees.
Lent is a very important time in the Christian community. Many of us begin Ash Wednesday praying and holding good intentions to do a little something "more" to cultivate our spiritual life and make the world a better place. But forty days is a long time! And, when one is as busy as most of us are, it is quite easy to – little by little – lose sight of our promises. We need the support of one another to follow our deepest desires.
Chicago, IL, March 3, 2011—The Board of Trustees of Catholic Theological Union will honor Archdiocesan priest and community leader, Monsignor Kenneth Velo, at the annual Blessed are the Peacemakers dinner Wednesday, April 27, 2011.

Join us for the annual Augustus Tolton Pastoral Ministry Lecture beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2, 2011.
Catholic Theological Union will reopen on Friday, February 4. All services will resume.
Thank you!
Due to continuing hazardous conditions, the school will remain closed on Thursday, February 3, 2011. All services, including the library and events, will not be available.
CHICAGO, IL…As it has been reported, a tour group led by Fr. Donald Senior, C.P., President of Catholic Theological Union, has been in Egypt since Tuesday, January 18. The news from the group has been minimal throughout this time due to the interruption of email and cell phone usage.
We are pleased to announce that we have heard from Fr. Senior this morning:
Dear Friends,

on March 21, 2012Sometimes, you have to look so deeply into polling results like these that basic human sanity catches a cab and tells you it will meet you back at the house:
The talk of a brokered convention never seems to die down and one interesting finding on this poll was that Sarah Palin is far more popular than any of the actual Republican candidates in the race. Her net favorability is +48, with 68% of voters rating her favorably to only 20% with a negative opinion. That compares favorably to +29 for Santorum, +19 for Romney, and -26 for Paul.
One man's "interesting finding" is another man's desperate cry for help, I guess. If, at this point in the process, a clueless grifter is your most popular option with your most energized voters, then I think I speak for the rest of the country when I say, please, people, get some therapy.

MICRONIZED version on sale now: $1/lb DELIVERED PRICE, with an extra BoogieFrass™ sample, (1lb), thrown in for good measure……AZOMITE volcanic minerals with particle size micronized for faster uptake by your soil. Ideal for blending with other materials and amendments as a trace mineral resource to help meet complete plant nutritional needs. An economical way to fortify and re-mineralize soils, composts and potting mediums. Combine your Azo with BoogieFrass™ for amazing results in the garden! WT: 44 LBS. SHIPS WITH 1-LB SAMPLE FRASS. SHIPPING INCLUDED.
"THE BEST MINERAL BANG FOR YOUR SOIL BUCK!" All ELEMITE boxes ship with an additional 2lbs Boogie Brew Tea, 2lbs SEA-90, plus an N95 Respirator Mask!
ELEMITE is higher in potassium, and also contains increased doses of other valuable minerals than competing volcanic ash-sourced products. A higher C.E.C, (Cation-Exchange Capacity), means more of those essential elements will be utilized by your plants….Add in the bonus bag of 2-lbs of SEA-90 minerals, ($8.00 value), plus a FULL 2lbs Boogie Brew Tea along with an N95 respirator mask, (critical for safe application of organic particulates),…..and our Elemite Rock-Box deal is easily the THE BEST MINERAL VALUE on the market today!!
Elemite can be applied in liquid or dry form, depending on conditions and equipment. If possible, avoid windy conditions during application to prevent the loss of fine particles. By Combining Elemite with water it will be worked into the soil faster to improve absorption and effectiveness. The best time to apply Elemite is during or just prior to planting. However, it can be used year-round to build up and re-mineralize soils. An annual follow-up application is recommended at half the initial quantity used.
Ultra-soluble, super-fine mineral powder from 100% Volcanic rock-ash. Wasatch Minerals 'Elemite' is excellent for soils in need of a 'fast-acting' (quick-release) mineralizer. This stuff is the most soluble volcanic-mineral powder we have seen yet. In Boogie's own test-bed patches, Elemite has rocked plants fast! PLEASE APPLY CAREFULLY AND ALWAYS USE THE INCLUDED N-95 PARTICULATE-MASK: Although Elemite consists of healthy, colloidally-charged minerals which generally pose positive health effects for humans, (it actually makes a great clay/beauty mask!), the particles are of such a finely micronized & soluble consistency, that we strongly suggest the use of a proper respirator when handling Elemite in large quantities and particularly when working directly with it in your garden. No matter how benign and healthy a rock-dust's elements may be, responsible farmers should always take steps to avoid the concentrated inhalation of ultra-fine particles. Therefore, in the interest of promoting safe gardening, Boogie provides a free N-95 Particulate-Respirator with each order: Please remember to use it!
Elemite makes a terrific additive to compost teas: Add to Boogie-Tea, (1/4 to 1/2 cup or so for each 5 gallons of full-strength tea), or to your home-made brew as a premium mineral-broth to promote increased bio-activation & organism-activity. May also be watered in as a "mineral-milk" content in solution, (shake container while watering to keep the clay-particles suspended in diffusion, etc).
Combine 85%-90% terra-formed elements, (volcanic/clay/glacial etc.) with approximately 10-15% seawater minerals, for a dynamic duo of mineral success: Apply liberal quantities of both fast and slow-release rock-dusts, (eg: Elemite/Azomite plus Cascade Minerals), directly to soil and around the base of your plants, with small doses of SEA-90, (just a one-time SPRINKLE, or 'thimble/thumb-full'). You can also use SEA-90, (sparingly!), at one teaspoon per gallon in water or compost-tea solution; apply this way as a beneficial soil-drench just once per month. By combining sensible doses of variably-sourced mineral-elements, (both land & sea, in proper ratios), your soil be enriched with an optimum blend of mineralizing bio-boosters.
Provide a super-charged mineral banquet for microbes to feast on, and power your soil's entire web-of-life cycle in a positive & healthy manner!
SHIPPING IS INCLUDED IN THE BELOW PRICE! A full 2lbs BB Tea, 2lbs Sea-90, plus N95 Respirator Mask, are all included!
Please note: Elemite now ships separately, (drop-shipped from Arizona), and will arrive in a separate box via USPS Priority Mail.

I think people can be happy if they embrace the cup half full approach to life, and don't focus on things they don't have. Yes, we always want something we don't have or something someone else has, but if you embrace the situation you're in and live it to the fullest you will always be happy. For example, I used to get down a lot about being lonely. Nowhere close to family, no wife/girlfriend, not really close to any true friends anymore, etc. Then I realize that I fish about 5 days a week, play golf occasionally, make great money, and have zero things to stress out about. It's a pretty good life. Reply Back to Top |

Another thing that you may want to consider for big beers is to inoculate more yeast ( usually a different one you have used to ferment the wort) before bottling. I have some bottle left of a Belgian strong Ale brewed 4 years ago, flavor is still improving. I can also suggest you to undercarbonate big beers for at least a couple of reasons: first because they taste great with low level of carbonation, second because It happens that after a couple of years the beer tend to increase its carbonation level ( to be honest I've no idea if it is because of few level of infection or it is something related with yeast)
i, on the other hand, prefer highly carbonated big beers. duvel & my fav tripels are all 3+ volumes. for me, it further adds to the intensity of the beer - more aroma & more tingling in the mouth.
I know this thread is a few months old so I hope this is an appropriate place to ask my question. I brewed my biggest AG to date - a weizenbock with an OG of 85. I understand the rule of thumb that a bigger beer requires more time to age, but I also know that wheat based beers should be consumed relatively fresh. Does the drink wheat beers early rule only apply to styles like a hefe or a dunkle? What would you recommend I do with my weizenbock? It's been in the primary for 2 weeks so far. I took a gravity reading last weekend and I was at 27 and my target is around 21. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks union. If I'm at my target should I then keg it and start to carb? I probably wasn't very clear in my original post. Basically I brewed this beer for Halloween and I want to know if it'll be ready by then. Thanks
I have just brewed and Imperial Oatmeal Porter based on a Breakfast Stout clone. 64% - Pale Ale 15% - Flaked Oats 7% - Crystal 120 3% - Oat Malt 3% - Chocolate Malt 3% - Carafa I 2.5% - Aromatic Malt 1.5% - Black Patent Malt (coccoa nibs and powder added at flameout. I will also add cold brewed coffee, vanilla, cinnamon and coccoa nibs when aging) OG: 1083 (I guess I can expect an ABV around 8?) Yeast: US-05 _____________________________________________ I am pretty much lost about fermentation and aging schedules. I had never brewed such a big beer. What do you guys suggest? (After a day the beer isnt as brown anymore there is lots of brown thin on the bottle of the sample I got for taking gravity readings. Whys that?) Thanks already

"I just pan fried these on the stove tonight and they were nothing short of marvelous! I became a member just do I could leave a review. I also used shallots, a few scallions and two extra cloves of garlic.

I purchased in Something Special. I'm an NC20, a little darker right now due to summer, and this is a great natural coral-pink on me. This blush has a great texture and is easy to apply with brush, sponge, or fingers. I think fingers give the most control with this blush. Great product, and I'm interested in looking into other colors.

Love this blush! I got the shade "Something Special", and it is a gorgeous, everyday blush! It's easy to blend in, wears pretty well, and overall, i would definetly reccomend it! The one thing I would say is to NOT purchase these online. I was looking at some shades online and they are soo different than in the store...just going to the store and trying it on is your best bet!

When the 6 cremeblend blushes came out last year I purchased all in a pro pan... started to use after a few weeks and found them really dry, so I swapped for individuals (I thought maybe air got into the pro pan)... same thing too dry, I was told thats they way they are but I believe they are useless! there are much better cream to dry cheek products on the market!

Gear Review
Great value for the price
I looked for a while for a carry-on that would be big enough and durable enough for travel a couple of times per month. So far this carry-on has had plenty of space and done the job. I have not yet had issues with it fitting in the overhead.

I know this isn't technically a computer problem, but since it involves a smart phone I thought perhaps someone on the computer forum had some possible solutions. Just upgraded from an Iphone 4 to an iphone 4S and the new phone won't pair up with my blue tooth. The car (Honda CRV) is blue tooth enabled and The iphone 4 paired up with no problem. I understand from searching the internet that this is a common problem with the iphone 4S, but the solutions mentioned there were not helpful. Just wondering if anyone here has any suggestions. Thanks! Abbey |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've looked for you also and don't see a solution just others having the same issue as you. Perhaps posting at the apple iphone forum would help. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Apple Iphone support forums
Thanks Zep. I did try the apple support forums but their suggestions didn't help. I was hoping someone at Garden Web would have some experience/solution with the problem. I will have to keep investigating. Abbey |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Rihanna Gossip
Rihanna gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Rihanna's fashion power
FameFlynet, KCS Presse/ Splash
Check out Rihanna today in Paris to promote her fragrance. That's a great top. And those are some badass leather slouchy pants. As you know, Rihanna was named the year's Fashion Icon by the CFDA earlier this week. And to receive the honour, she wore almost nothing. It was interpreted a million ways: she's an exhibitionist, she shouldn't be showing so much, where is her modesty, this is tacky, she's awesome, she looks amazing, she totally owned it, etc, etc, etc. Full Story
Rihanna, Fashion Icon
Wenn, Dimitrios Kambouris/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
Rihanna was named Fashion Icon at the CFDA Awards last night in New York. If you know you're going to the CFDAs and they're honouring you with that kind of title, well, you know you have to bring it, balls out. All out. And she did. Adam Selman had people working non-stop, day and night to finish this piece featuring over 200,000 thousand crystals sewn into fishnet. Full Story
Rihanna & Drake: pink and blue
Incognito Media/Winston Burris, AKM-GSI/ Splash
Rihanna was photographed leaving an LA recording studio late last night/early this morning after a recording session. She's still wearing that short hair f-ck you Charlie Sheen pink wig. Over in another part of town, Drake was having dinner in a super cheesy, shiny blue shirt. Coincidence or conspiracy? As much as I hope it's a conspiracy, I'm sure it's coincidence. Full Story
Charlie Sheen vs Rihanna
Charlie Sheen just went on Twitter to blast Rihanna. Apparently he and his fiancée were out for dinner the other night and asked to have their photo taken with her and she blew them off. My first reaction: HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAH Here's Charlie's full description of what happened Full Story
Beyonce's sending messages
Larry Busacca/ Getty
Beyonce's been busy on Instagram today. As mentioned earlier, she posted several pictures of her with Solange this morning – click here for a refresher. And 45 minutes ago (it's 11am ET right now), she posted a shot with Rihanna at the MET Gala. Full Story
Rihanna in pink, off Instagram
Bryan Bedder/ JP Yim/ Getty
There's been a lot of talk this week about Rihanna's Instagram account. First they shut her down. Then they turned her back on. Now the account is gone again. And it appears she's the one who pulled it. The issue is nudity. And censorship. She's done with them trying to silence what she believes is her right to post pictures of herself in whatever form she wants. Full Story
Rihanna: MET 80s
Wenn, Splash, John Lamparski/ Larry Busacca/ Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
Duana was all over this for the 80s. I'm really, really tempted to imitate this 80s hairstyle on The Social today but I've decided to go with someone else. More on that later. So here's Rihanna, Kristen Stewart's next best friend by the good will of the Gossip Genie, per my previous post, in cropped white Stella McCartney. Full Story
#WeTheNorth does not include Rihanna
Anthony J. Causi / Splash, James Devaney/ Getty
Big win last night for the Raptors. I actually came home to Toronto last night – and they still didn't lose! (Although I made Jacek change the channel so I wouldn't jinx them.) According to his Twitter, Drake watched Game 3 from home at the ACC. Full Story
Weekend: Rihanna & Drake
AKM-GSI/ Splash, Christopher Polk/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Rihanna celebrated her best friend Melissa Ford's birthday this weekend. There was a dinner. And Drake was there too. Good sign? They're comfortable together in their own circles. You want your lover to be ok with your homies, right? I don't know if that used to matter to Rihanna. Full Story
Together but not together?
Wenn, WAB/ London Entertainment/ Splash
Rihanna and Drake were both at the Clippers game last night. She went with her best friend Melissa Ford. He went with his boys. They sat apart. But at one point, Drake went over to see her. And they hugged. And I don't know how to read this hug. Is there hesitation in her face? Is it because she knows there's an audience? Is it because she'll never love him as much as he loves her? I prefer the shot of them face to face – he's saying something, and I'm photo assuming that it's "woo talk", and she's smiling. Full Story
Days In The East
Jeff Gross/ Getty
I love this thing where songs just get dropped, kind of at random. When one feels like it. Keeps the fans on their toes, right ? This one is called Days In The East and allegedly, it is about the romance between he and Rihanna, now that it's back. It took me a minute to be convinced. Full Story
Add a thigh
RV/ Splash, Keystone
A couple of weeks ago, Rihanna and Drake gave us a hand hold. Click here for a refresher. Two nights ago, even though they were both in London, they had to play coy and go to different clubs. I complained. Were they listening? Last night, once again, it was the club. Full Story
Zoe Kravitz moves on too
You know I LOVE Rihanna and Drake, right? But today, today my jam is something else. Especially since Rihanna and Drake decided to party separately in London last night. Stop f-cking exhausting me. Can't you please me the way Zoe Kravitz is pleasing me with A$AP Rocky? THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING. Full Story
Last night in London
Weir Photos/ Splash
Rihanna flew back to London to join Drake for his final shows before tour break. She was in the audience at the concert on Tuesday night and then they hit up a club called Tramp. They left together, but not together, so as to avoid being photographed in the same frame. OK. I get it. You want to make us wait for it, right? Fine. Full Story

A source said Nicole has been putting together a music mix to listen to during her labor, and it includes songs by her husband, Keith Urban, and Irish flautist Sir James Galway. "Whenever you go to her house, she has Galway on," said the source. "There is one Prokofiev sonata that is her favorite." We're not sure we'd want to enter the world listening to this, but we're not the ones popping out the baby. [AHN] Keep reading »

I mean, if we take the game of Chess as an analogy, its like studying a series of Opening Moves for months and months on end, learning their strengths and weaknesses, sharpening your skills with them, and then suddenly, some spoiled brat(RIOT) comes along and says: "Its my chessboard so you have to play by my rules!" Then suddenly, you can't move d2, e2 or your knights as an opening move! If effect, you are forced to play the weakest opening moves imaginable. This analogy perfectly fits Riot's <"We want damage to mean something">, their ever increasing attacks on the ability to mitigate damage, or regenerate health. Mitigating damage is what tanks do! Tanks are the ones who trade away the ability to do damage, for the ability to mitigate damage. Calling "Tanking" an unfair advantage is absurd. I notice, that Riot did not have a corresponding increase in the damage output potential of those characters classed as Tanks. No. They are simply taking away their ability to mitigate damage, without compensating them with an increase in damage output, thereby making them sitting ducks. With reference to my above analogy, How does/would Riot respond to the fact, that by Micro-Managing Builds they are destroying any integrity this 'E-sport' may have had? Certainly, items like <"Runaan's Hurricane (Ranged Only)"> and <"Ravenous Hydra (Melee Only)"> are fairly obvious evidence that Riot isn't even pretending to be "impartial" or "disinterested", and is blatantly arranging and designing items so that certain characters perform well, while certain other characters (tanks) perform poorly.
Previously: Aegis+FoN Now: Bulwark+(Insert MR item here) Total MR change negligible. If you're looking for HP/5 Warmog's is still here.
Akira Kid41
I think Riot wants to see the role of tanking used more assertively. Lets not forget what else tanks offer such as crowd control. Tanks should have to plan and be wary of where and how they place their C.C.. Tanks were too much of a presence in season 2 being that they were able to withstand entire teams while setting up and placing their abilities. Riot wants to do away with careless play styles. Look at Leona. She is constantly being reported as having too little dps on the forums. Yet she can still build into damage while having that window that eclipse grants to tank out damage, while dealing up to 1k burst damage.
The issues are "Integrity" and "Micro-Managing Builds." With the introduction of suffix' like "Melee Only" and "Ranged Only" Riot is now blatantly Micro-managing builds. This means less freedom. Less freedom is always bad. We've all seen an AD Sona, or a AS Zilean, because players had the freedom and ability to build such characters. The addition of an item which adds AD but is restricted to "Melee Only" or an item which add AS but is restricted to "Ranged Only" gives Riot the ability to control how champions are built, and therefore the ability to control how champions perform. And this is clearly, Micro-Managing. The question is, will this "E-sport" be an actual sport, a respected sport, like Chess or Boxing or any Olympic event? Or will this "E-sport" be a sport in the same sense that Professional Wrestling is a sport? Are the outcomes of tournaments to be scripted by Riot? Will it take skill to win a tournament, or just picking the champions that Riot wants to showcase for whatever commercial reasons?
You're complaining about "Melee only" and "Range only" as bias for one champ type over another. But look at the stacked case. If you could use both on the same champ at the same time, your teamfight and waveclearing effectiveness would go through the roof, with 3 overlapping AD scaling blasts on every autoattack. Skip building crit, just max attack speed and AD. They're just too good together. So rather than finding a way to justify to completely different items having a the same named unique passive, they gave the one that was best used by ranged a "range only" descripter, and the one with a melee active a "melee only" discripter. Even on Jayce, Kayle, Nidalie, and Elise, the two will never meet in an abuse case, barring projectile-in-air shenangans.
Nea De Penserhir
None of your arguments hold water, and comparing it to Chess only hurts you because then you could just plain turn it around on Chess. Why can't the Rook move Diagonally? Why is the Knight the only piece capable of L-Shaped movement? Why is the most important piece in the game only a slight bit stronger than a Pawn, the most expendable? Because that's how the creator of the game designed it. Plain and simple. Assassins were brought back into competitive play, and mages have a longer span of effectiveness due to the penetration and MR changes. Fighters have been weakened comparatively by gutting their ability to build efficient defenses in minimal slots. Tanks have been strengthened comparatively because dedicated defense builds don't work on fighters, but work on tanks. AD carries can acquire their building blocks for bigger items faster. This lets them have a bigger presence in early / mid game. AP Supports have been given many new options and overall gold generation and sight wards have freed up a majority of their budget. Several items have been added that have no clear "best slot" for it to take, but open up numerous avenues on different champions (Muramana, Hydra, and revamped Malady)
Forgot about the fact that offense/defense hybrid items are considerably more effective on tanks because they're less crippling to their tank builds. See: Abyssal Iceborn Gauntlet Sunfire

Today (5/31/11), they will begin removing the 50's era marquee and box office as part of the ongoing renovation; thus, restoring the theatre's original look.
Concerning the whole Mann issue; it is my understanding Mann's last contracted day of operation was 5/19/11. However, there was an extention made to 5/26/11, to aid in the transition process. After completing the change over (the reason they are currently closed), the theatre will reopen under a new owner and operator (as movielover23 mentioned "Chinese Theatre LLC"). I believe the theatre's new website will soon be chinesetheatres.com.
As controversial as the new owners and the various rumors might be, I'm holding out hope this change will mark a rebirth. That the new owners/operators will initiate some efforts which will ultimately lead to more people entering the theatre to watch a movie, rather than treating it as just a courtyard sightseeing stop/photo op. It's a beautiful historic theatre, with an unsurpassed pedigree, but it's true value is found in being a living cinema treasure, not as a marker of what once was.
Proved to be a short run; the Brookhurst has been closed once again.
As i pointed out on Grauman's CT page, the rumor involves the Chinese 6 being converted to a nightclub, not Grauman's. The only alleged changes to Grauman's, thus far, have been expanded food service and moving towards mixed use; which suggests the theatre would have it's stage back.
If you examine the rumors (especially Hollywood Elsewhere and it's "inside source") the alleged dramatic changes are centered more on the Chinese 6 than Grauman's.
If the Chinese 6 were to be convereted to a nightclub style venue, would anyone really care? It's not like that annex holds the same historical/cultural significance.
As for Grauman's, the only changes that have been rumored, to a significant extent, are transitioning to "multi use"; which would suggest the need for a stage, thus restoring an original feature of the theatre. About the only questonable alteration suggested, thus far, involves removable seating.
While I'm just as concerned as the next guy, especially considering the track records of the parties involved, I could see the potential for some of these alleged changes being beneficial. Say, Grauman's continues to screen movies and adds the option of hosting live events once again. Perhaps, the kitchen/bar adds a luxury service to the theatre. And, the former 6 supplements the venue with post event options and extra drawing power via alternative entertainment choices. Yes, that involves a great deal of speculation and wishful thinking on my part, but, at this point, it's no more speculative than saying "this is the end".
This theatre's construction was a pain in the butt for me. At the time, I was a manager at the AMC Fullerton 10 (the expansion to 20 hadn't taken place yet) and AMC's western division office wanted someone to keep tabs on Century's latest venture in the market (they voiced a concern that it might be a threat to their business). So, every week I would have to go out to the construction site to compile an update. They wanted pictures, hand drawn maps/diagrams, and a detailed summary of what I saw. The big problem was that this was conducted during the project's earliest stages; i.e. I was basically providing surveillance of a dirt lot. The end result being reports like "ten foot pile of soil now located on western corner of property (see photo 3)". When the theatre structure actually started to go up, they stopped having me go out to the site. I never quite understood why they lost interest in monitoring the competition at this more relevant juncture.
Despite early concerns, the Stadium Promenade never had much of an impact on AMC's area theatres. Fullerton served an entirely different market, the Block would later carve out it's own highly successful niche, and Mainplace folded more as the result of the Block opening.
Great that councilwoman Gardner made the effort to keep everyone informed and the Port in the news; not so great that she throws in the "count me out" and "I'd just as soon watch it on my tv" comments, in reference to food service being added.
I would have to agree with Scott. Between the project taking almost a year and the number of adjoining units they've closed for the expansion (i.e. all of the former second floor foodcourt), I'm thinking they are basically building a new theatre on the site.
Today, 1/12/11, was the last day of operations before the year long remodel/expansion begins. There were no advertisements for the remodel in place, nor did management have any idea as to who the operator would be for the "new" theatre (they appeared very downbeat when asked). I basically walked away suspecting it wouldn't be Edwards/REG.
You could try Cy Young Industries. They are widely used for seating renovations in the theatre industry.
Fortunately, not only wasn't there significant visible damage, I also didn't note any musty/damp smells whe I stopped by this weekend. So, here is hoping there won't be any mold or mildew issues down the road.
Don S hit the nail on the head when he mentioned, "Personally, I had a home theater, and I ended up selling it. One of the main reasons: no communal experience. I love the energy that a crowd makes when they're really into a movie."
The industry critics and those fortelling "the end is near" have always failed to consider the communal aspect of movie going. While there are certainly a host of desirable viewing options available, none can truly replace the experience of watching a film with a large audience. While one might enjoy watching a film in the comfort and privacy of their own home (as we all do), there remains a different experience to be had through going to a cinema. Just as people continue to go to live concerts, sporting events, etc., they will continue to go to the movies. Attendance and habits might fluctuate, the industry will unquestionably change, but, as long as humans remain a social creature, there will be a desire to share experiences with others.
As for his 30+ age observation. Every day, I see those 30+ year olds taking their families to the movies. Thus, introducing a new generation to the magic of movie theatres.
On July 23, 2010, the Woodbridge will begin offering digital projection in two auditoriums (#2 & #3), with 3-D capabilities. By year's end, all five auditoriums will be converted to digital.
This center was planned before the economy collapsed. They had wagered, not only that the area would continue to boom, but that there would be a demand for more screens in the immediate future. Obviously, it was a bet they lost.
SoCal/The Movie Experience was originally supposed to operate the theatre, but they dropped out shortly before the development was completed (perhaps, they saw the proverbial writting on the wall). Krikorian stepped in to manage the theatre (i.e. they didn't build or own it).
While I'm sure someone else will take over management of the theatre, the entire complex is folding up at an alarming rate. The Dos Lagos center simply suffers from poor timing; a situation which doesn't show any signs of improving in the near future.
Barring a drastic development, on July 10, 2010, the Strand had it's final public curtain call with the shorts:
Our Gang in "The Big Premiere"
"A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" (from The Great Ziegfeld)
The Box Office Magazine feature, linked above, ultimately held true (regaurding easy conversion to retail). Aside from remodeling the entry facade, the present day building did exactly what the article mentioned; they removed the false floor (to achieve level), extracted the theatre fixtures, and converted the booth to an office, creating the store that inhabits the site today. Stepping inside the skate shop this afternoon (7/5/10), there was no mistaking it's former life as a theatre; with the exception of the above mentioned alterations and racks of skateboard supplies, it remains relatively unchanged.
Another odd feature I seem to recall; at least one of the auditoriums was located at a slightly higher level than the lobby. A small set of stairs (maybe three or four steps) was located on the right side of the concession stand, accessing the auditorium from the left rear. I am unsure if this was the case for the second auditorium, as I only attended this theatre once.
This was the first theatre in the Krikorian chain. Company founder/namesake George Krikorian grew tired of driving a distance, in order to take his family to the movies, and speculated that there was a need for a local cinema; thus, launching Krikorian Premiere Theatres in 1984. The Penninsula 9, along with the rest of Krikorian's pre stadium chain, was sold to Regal in 1996. The chain was relaunched a few years later, with a series of modern stadium builds.
The Penninsula 6's first general manager was John Dolmage.
The Stockdale 6 was from the generation of "disposable" multiplex theatres AMC built. By "disposable", I mean that the venue was purposely designed for easy transition to other uses, once it had run it's course as a cinema; ground level booths, thin interior walls, simplistic box design, and budget conscious amenities throughout. However, the theatre ultimately far outlived it's expected life span and even saw business that warranted a few upgrades over the years.
The Triangle Square 8 opened in June of 1992, as Edwards' 34th theatre. As with the Triangle Square center, the theatre started off as an area "hot spot", but fell out of favor within a few years. After major center tenants, like Niketown and Virgin Megastore, departed, the theatre (and surrounding shopping center) became a virtual ghost town.
During it's heyday, the Triangle Square 8 featured a large cafe and expanded arcade; located in an angular shaped room, off the lobby's southern side. After attendance fell, the area was converted in to a birthday party rental space.
This theatre was formerly known as the Valley View Twin and dates back to the mid 70's (circa 1975). It was later divided up in to four long, narrow, auditoriums and renamed "Four Star Cinemas". I believe the theatre was independently owned/operated by the same family, up until Starlight took over the site. Starlight added digital projection and began a lower priced first run business model.
"After selling/closing most of the original chain of NGC Theatres, he sold or closed most of the theatres he built."
While Ted Mann did close/sell most of the old National General sites, in favor of multiplexes, he wasn't involved with the company's slide in to irrelevance. When Mann stepped down as company chairman in 1991, the company was still a regional powerhouse, with 510 screens. The real decline began around 1997, when Mann Theatres was purchased by Westar and continued after WF Cinema Holdings took over in 2000. They failed to make the transition from aging multiplexes to viable megaplexes.
The Gelndora 6 exemplifies what happened throughout the Mann chain. Success in the multiplex era, but a failure to keep up with industry changes in later years.
Apparently, the Miramar is in the process of being sold yet again. LAB Holdings, owners of the historic Casino San Clemente ballroom, have announced plans to renovate the theatre and neighboring bowling alley, for use as a performing arts center and restaurant, once the sale is complete.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy - Courtesy Post, a Cincinnati American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.
