found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Passel of Kittens (Jaspurr)!
Facts about Passel of Kittens (Jaspurr)
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Passel of Kittens (Jaspurr)'s Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Talk about a slew of kittens, all 4 of us are from the same litter. We were found wandering in someone's backyard and the home owner not knowing what to do placed us in a box with the philosophy first come first serve. This definitely was not a good situation for kittens that were only 4 weeks old. Rescued by CARE we are now healthy and will be ready for our new homes when we turn 8 weeks old. We are just a hoot to be around. We are super social and love to climb up on any lap that is available. Our days consist of playing hard and tons of snoozes. We are the epitome of cute.
Jaspurr: I am a red patch tabby and also one of the bigger kittens. I am all boy and love to pounce on anything that moves. Playing is a mandatory thing with me however I love to sit on my foster mom's lap and be loved on. Being stuck in one room is no fun so when the door opens there I go. I love to seek out new places for fun and games.
Teagon (is adopted): I am the grayish/black tabby and have the cutest face. I am a super sweet little girl and just love to be with my foster mommy. Guess that makes me a mommy's girl. I love to sit on her lap. Don't get me wrong I am very outgoing and love to explore new surroundings. I can give as good as I get when it comes to play and my brothers have nothing on me as I more than hold my own when it comes to rough housing.
Tia (is adopted): I may appear to be a delicate little girl but don't let looks fool you, I love to romp and explore new surroundings. Sneaking out of the kitten room every chance I get is all in a day's activities. I am extremely playful and love to wrestle with the boys.
Jossi (is adopted): I am the buff colored little guy that is as soft and cuddly as a little bear. I'm a total sweetheart of a kitten. Although I may look huggable I am all boy and love to run and play. Wrestling with my siblings is one of my favorite pastimes. I am also very adventurous and love to explore new places.
We mingle well with other kitties. We would love to have the opportunity to become a member of your family and share our unbelievable sweetness.
Please call CARE @ (804) 288-9797 and ask about Connie's passel of kittens.
Other Pets at CARE-Cat Adoption Rescue Effort
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Passel of Kittens (Jaspurr), a Richmond Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Fantastically Scary Movies of Youth Whose Fears We Outgrew
Features By Samantha Wilson on February 7, 2014 | Comments (3)With this weekend's A Fantastic Fear of Everything, Simon Pegg stars as Jack, a children's book author who becomes obsessive and paranoid about death and murder — even when there's nothing at all to worry about. While Jack is an adult who can't cope with the real world because of his obsessions, it's more often the kids who are deemed the scaredy cats due to their irrational fears. Maybe that has a little to do with sneaking scary movies bright and early? It's a rite of passage, really, that happens when Dad is snoring on the other side of the couch and the remote is blissfully, blessedly unattended for once. That's right; it's time to steal that remote and secretly switch the channel to the scariest programming possible. Nightmares be damned, you're nine years old and you have living to do, man! Trying to watch horror movies (and just plain fear-themed films) before the appropriate age comes from a specific scientific combination of attempting to appear more grown-up and the innate desire that exists within all of us to do the opposite of whatever our parents say. When the lights go out and the moms are out of sight, it's time to see exactly how brave you can be when facing down Freddy Krueger. As tough and gallant as we might fancy ourselves as children – and this especially applies if we're literally talking about us, little movie buffs in the making – there are just some films you just really […]
Are Dated Horror Movies Really Not Scary Any More?
Features By Kevin Carr on October 31, 2013 | Be the First To CommentBy now, you've likely seen the article atYahoo Movies about ten college-aged kids who were shown John Carpenter's Halloween for the first time to see if the film was still scary 35 years after it was released. The results would make a true horror movie fan weep: this group found the film to be silly, ineffective, and cheesy. In short, not scary at all. There's even a Vine of these students' reaction to the whole experience, which may or may not cause fits of anger in true horror fans. More over, this group claimed films like the remake of The Omen (easily inferior to the unmentioned original) and The Cabin in the Woods (a brilliant movie, but never intended to be actually scary) to be more frightening than anything in Halloween. Let's start by getting past a few completely unscientific elements of this piece. First, ten subjects is hardly a valid sample size for any study, so this is just an academic exercise. However, even more so, I question who the hell these people are that made it to their college years without seeing John Carpenter's Halloween. I'm sure there are plenty of those folks knocking about, but honestly, would these people be qualified to evaluate horror movies? No self-respecting horror movie fan (or even someone who claims to passively enjoy scary movies) would make it into his or her twenties without at least seeing this film once, whether it's on an old VHS tape or during one of AMC's […]
The Holidays Have All But Shut Down Hollywood, So Let's Just Watch the First Six Minutes of 'Maniac'
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe lethargy inherent in being in between two of the biggest holidays of the year has made this week kind of a dead zone for movie news, but a couple of studios have still been throwing us bones by delivering extended previews of what they've got coming up in the next year. Just yesterday we were treated to the first four minutes of zombie comedy Warm Bodies, and today Warner Bros. is upping the ante by bringing us the first six minutes of their upcoming Maniac remake. Six minutes! That's two more than yesterday. At this rate, tomorrow we may get to see the first eight minutes of something. And then, eventually, entire movies will get released without us having to pay for them at all. What a world.
'Aftershock' Trailer Sends Eli Roth on the Worst Vacation Ever
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 27, 2012 | Comments (2)Normally when pretty young people are getting tortured and mutilated in a horror movie it's because they've run afoul of some sort of creature, spirit, or at least a mass-murdering psycho who's developed a unique gimmick. The things doing all of the killing are just fantastical enough, just far enough apart from reality, that you can disengage your moral compass and have a good time watching the slaughter. Director Nicolás López's new film, Aftershock, takes a different approach. It takes an earthquake, the sort of natural calamity that would usually be the jumping off point for a disaster movie, and uses it as its big scary monster. In the process, he's made a movie in a sub genre that feels unique and fresh next to recent horror offerings: a disaster horror. The basic story of this one seems to be that Eli Roth is some dopey American bro looking for a good time down in Chile. His problems start when his ogling of scantily clad ladies at the local nightclub gets cut short by an Earthquake. Suddenly lighting rigs are collapsing on dancers, shards of glass are cutting up people at the bar, and the whole place is turned into a gory splatter fest. That isn't the end of the horror that López and Roth have in store for us, though.
Guillermo Del Toro Readies Lavish Ghost Story 'Crimson Peak' As Next Project
In Development By Nathan Adams on December 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentGuillermo Del Toro has added so many projects to his wish list of cool things that he'd like to make that keeping up with every movie he's attached to make and what order he's supposed to make them in could be a full time job. But, despite the fact that this list is ever-expanding and ever-changing, it is sometimes possible to know for sure what movie he's going to be doing next, and Deadline has a report that seems to solidify the fact that the next project he actually sits down and completes is going to be a ghost story called Crimson Peak. Backed by Legendary Pictures, Crimson Peak comes from a script that Del Toro wrote with his frequent collaborator Matthew Robbins. The current plan is for the director to work through another rewrite alongside Lucinda Coxon, and then start production on the film sometime in early 2014. This gives him plenty of time to wrap up his publicity work for Pacific Rim and also film a pilot for an FX show called The Strain, to which he is already committed. What do we know about Crimson Peak so far? We know that it's a story Del Toro has described as being very set-oriented, and one that is supposed to work in the conventions of the ghost story genre, but give them a modern twist. The director says that he's using this project as an opportunity to honor some of his favorite horror movies of the past, including "Robert […]
'Dark Skies' Trailer Answers the All-Important Question: "What Would Happen If E.T. Were Evil?"
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 26, 2012 | Comments (1)Over the years we've seen so many alien home invasions in movies that we've grown to believe that visits from extraterrestrial beings aren't necessarily a big deal. Maybe the alien who comes for a visit could even be a cute little friend who lives in your closet and develops an addiction to Reese's Pieces! And heck, worst case scenario you get pulled out of your bed, anally probed up on the mothership, and then they drop you right back off like nothing happened, right? Maybe not. Scott Charles Stewart's (Priest) new thriller Dark Skies asks what it would be like if the aliens stuck around for a while and tortured your family. If the new trailer for this film is to be believed, an extended occupation of your home by extraterrestrial forces would not just include objects in your kitchen being mysteriously stacked and dazzling lights glimmering off of your ceiling, but it would also bring an unwelcome plague of birds, brandings and blackouts. Oh my. Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton are starring here as a suburban couple who get tormented by the little green menace, and watching them deal with flocks of birds mysteriously slamming into their windows, strange marks being burnt into their kids' skin, and their minds getting repeatedly taken over by some mysterious force can be some pretty harrowing stuff.
'Insidious 2' Is Bringing Back the Original Cast, But Does That Make Sense?
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 19, 2012 | Comments (3)Despite producer Jason Blum's initial comments that he wouldn't get behind a sequel to 2010's possession horror, Insidious, unless he was presented with a story that really made sense, it always seemed like a sequel was going to be inevitable anyway. Not only is Insidious one of the mostly widely well-reviewed horror movies of the last decade, but it also managed to make a whole bunch of money without having a very big budget. That's too good of a formula for the Hollywood money-making machine to abandon. So, sure enough, last February we got word that director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell were both coming back, and Insidious 2 was officially in the works. The press release issued for the film today [via ComingSoon] brings a couple of more surprises with it as well, though. Despite the fact that the original Insidious ended with a situation that looked pretty grim for the family that it featured, and you might have imagined that a sequel would introduce us to a whole new cast of characters battling a similar evil spirit, the money men behind this sequel say that Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, and Ty Simpkins will all be back for this new film, reprising their roles from the original. Is it likely that Wan and Whannell have come up with a great story that will bring these characters back for more hauntings and manage to make sense in the process, or can we take the returns of the […]
'Warm Bodies' Trailer Proves That Even a Decaying Zombie Heart Can Feel Love
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 8, 2012 | Comments (2)Zombies don't exactly lend themselves to teen romance stories as well as vampires do, what with their flesh being all gross and decaying, like a jack o' lantern in November, rather than pale and smooth, like a porcelain doll. But that's not going to stop the creators of Warm Bodies from capitalizing on the current zombie crazy by making a teen zombie romance anyway. Ridiculous idea or not, one has to admit that the zombie apocalypse genre can get pretty homogenous and predictable, and could use some sprucing up. It feels kind of refreshing to see a zombie movie where the walking dead have thoughts and emotions, but have trouble acting on them due to their newly unresponsive bodies and overpowering craving to consume living flesh. Not only does the conceit seem to make for good comedy, but there are hints in this new Warm Bodies trailer that it could make for an effective character moment or two as well; which kind of makes sense, because this one is being brought to us by Jonathan Levine, the director of the funny, yet affecting cancer drama 50/50.
'Silent Night' Trailer Puts An Axe Back in Santa's Murderous Hands
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 6, 2012 | Comments (2)Remember that '80s era slasher flick, Silent Night, Deadly Night? It's back! In remake form. Or, maybe not exactly in remake form. It seems like it's also possible to look at this film as being a loose sequel to the original as well as being a remake, kind of like The Evil Dead and The Evil Dead 2. Either way, when you hear the words "horror movie" and "Silent Night" in the same sentence, you know what to expect: a murderous Santa taking out the townsfolk with an axe. Or, to be more accurate to this trailer, a murderous Santa taking out the townsfolk with an axe, a cattle prod, a wood chipper, and a flame-thrower. Sure, it's not likely that Silent Night is going to be anything other than exploitative schlock, but seeing as Jaime King makes for a lovely leading lady, Malcolm McDowell is getting the chance to overact, and Donal freakin' Logue is playing the super-creepy Santa Clause, it's not likely that it will disappoint anyone who's just looking for a Christmas movie about people getting killed. And, deep down, aren't we all just looking for a Christmas movie about people getting killed?
Joe Dante Will Make You Afraid to Fly With 'Air Disturbance'
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt should be a cause for celebration any time horror legend Joe Dante gets a chance to bring his unique blend of chills and chuckles to a new project. Over the course of his lengthy and awesome career this guy has brought us gems like The Howling, Gremlins, The 'burbs, and Eerie, Indiana, and though he still stays busy keeping the horror love alive over at Trailers From Hell, it's a shame that we haven't been able to see more feature work from him over the last decade or so. Heck, his latest film, The Hole, sat on the shelf for three years before most of us even got the chance to watch it. That's just not enough Joe Dante. The world cries out for more. Good news! Ask and you shall receive. New Films Cinema has announced [via ComingSoon] that filming is scheduled to start soon on a new project they've put together for Dante called Air Disturbance. Taking place on a transcontinental flight between Los Angeles and Toronto, Air Disturbance tells the tale of a recently widowed man who must protect his children and the other passengers on a plane once the aircraft starts becoming affected by strange atmospheric phenomena.
Horror Fans Rejoice, Cool Directors Sign on For 'V/H/S 2'
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 1, 2012 | Comments (2)Recent horror release V/H/S was kind of a mixed bag, but that's to be expected from anthology films that combine shorts from different filmmakers into a loosely connected whole. Regardless of which segments were your favorites, or which you thought didn't work, it's still pretty cool that V/H/S took little known filmmakers like the guys from Radio Silence and let them present their work alongside much-loved directors like Ti West and Joe Swanberg. So, good news for horror fans and horror creators alike, V/H/S/2 is already in the works, and it's already signed up some top notch directors.
'John Dies at the End' Trailer Prepares to Fight Evil With Axes, Flame Throwers, and Neutron Bombs
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 29, 2012 | Comments (1)If you watch the new trailer for co-writer/director Don Coscarelli's (Bubba Ho-Tep) latest film, John Dies at the End, you'll probably be left with some questions. Why are those pills that can grow wings called "soy sauce?" Can taking them really make you jump to different dimensions? Is the main character talking into a Polish sausage like it's a cell phone? Don't let all of these questions left hanging in the air worry you—a lot of them don't even get answered after you watch this crazy film in its entirety—just focus in on the fact that Coscarelli has taken David Wong's crazy novel of the same name and made a crazy movie out of it, and the results are crazy hilarious.
31 Days of Horror: Dead Snow (2009)
31 Days of Horror By Nathan Adams on October 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThey said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge (unless you count that time Nathan Adams was double dog dared to eat Nazi-flavored snow), so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis: What could possibly be worse than a zombie attack? A zombie attack where all of the undead are racists, that's what. And that's exactly what eight Norwegian med students stumble into when they take a trip out to the mountains for some leisurely skiing and instead find themselves face-to-face with hordes of undead Nazis who have returned from their graves to avenge a WWII-era villager revolt. The girl with the dreadlocks better watch herself. I bet they take her first.
31 Days of Horror: The Woman (2011)
31 Days of Horror By Nathan Adams on October 3, 2012 | Comments (1)They said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge (unless you count that time Kate Erbland was dared to walk like a man while singing "Walk Like a Man" and wearing an inflated latex glove on her head), so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis: Even though it's a sequel to a 2009 film called The Offspring, Lucky McKee's The Woman can stand fine on its own as a super weird and super horrific tale of misogyny taken to its furthest extent. That film introduces us to a clan of cannibals who abduct and devour townsfolk somewhere in the Northeast. It details the fate of the last surviving member of this clan (Pollyanna McIntosh) and what happens when a hunter comes upon her one day when he's out in the woods. Which begs the question, what would you do if you came across a cannibalistic woman bathing in a river? Because this creep (Sean Bridgers) decides to chain her up down in his root cellar and instruct his family through the process of trying to civilize her. And, even worse, this guy being an abusive, creepy misogynist, his idea of civilizing someone probably resembles psychological torture and sexual abuse much more than other people's. Revenge scenarios follow.
Second 'Paranormal Activity 4' Trailer Adds Xbox Kinect to Stable of Glitchy Tech
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 27, 2012 | Comments (2)The producers behind the Paranormal Activity franchise have created a lucrative money-making machine based solely on giving us faux found footage of ghosts making various bits of technology go glitchy every October. The first trailer for directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman's next installment in the series revealed a film that was going to inch along the loose story Paranormal Activity has been telling, that was going to stick to its web cam shots of flickering lights aesthetic, and that was going to add video chatting to the mix of technological things that ghosts like to mess with. Well, there's plenty of time before Paranormal Activity 4's October 21 release, so the studio has saw fit to put out a second preview for the film, and this one adds yet another high tech gadget to the spine-chilling mix. Gasp in white-knuckled terror as you take in the horrific results of just what happens when ghostly spirits take over the operations of your living room's Xbox Kinect. Oh, the humanity!
TIFF 2012 Review: 'Hellbenders' Isn't Your Daddy's Exorcism Movie
Film Festivals By Nathan Adams on September 22, 2012 | Comments (2)The bad thing about The Exorcist is that it has been so influential that we're coming up on 40 years since its release and still we're getting a handful of cheap knockoffs released in theaters every year. From The Devil Inside, to The Rite, to The Last Exorcism, to The Exorcism of Emily Rose, demonic possession movie after demonic possession movie is made with the same plot, the same characters, and the same tone. And every time you watch the whole thing play out, it manages to hit with slightly less impact than it did the time before. It was with great enthusiasm, then, that I watched J.T. Petty's (The Burrowers) latest film, Hellbenders, which is finally, finally an exorcism movie that's nothing like all of the other exorcism movies that have come before. There are no creepy little girls and wise but weary priests here. Instead, Hellbenders populates itself with foul-mouthed, hard-partying priests who seem to be more comfortable sinning than they do going to Sunday mass. You see, the conceit is this: in order for a priest who deals in exorcism to be ready to take a demon into his body and escort it to hell — by offing himself — he must always have enough sin wracked up to actually be worthy of going to the place. So, the merry band of miscreants that this film follows have checklists to make sure that they're on top of their sinning. They curse, they steal, they blaspheme, they engage in […]
Fantastic Review: 'Here Comes the Devil' Is a Surprisingly Mature B-Movie
Fantastic Fest By Adam Charles on September 22, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFor Fantastic Fest year 7, director Adrian Garcia Bogliano brought his feature film Penumbra about a female lawyer desperately attempting to rent out a flat she owns to an even more desperate (auspiciously so) man claiming that his employer will pay a sum of money far exceeding that of which the flat is worth. The story then becomes a mystery as to the intentions of the employer and the mystery was well executed in keeping the audience's attention all the way to an non-fulfilling climax. In this, Bogliano makes good on the promise of the well-constructed mystery of his last feature while ensuring he doesn't fizzle his way to the ending. Also unlike his last picture Here Comes the Devil doesn't feel quite as cheap as its budget would suggest. Even in its explicit B-movie motifs — the rapid close-up during the most mundane moments, and a high amount of gratuitous nudity and sex — the sense is there that it isn't a grown up child behind the camera. Not completely, anyway. He can follow up a scene with a married couple having a heavy, undisturbed fondling session at a truck stop while reminiscing on teenage sexual encounters for arousal (while their two kids are off exploring an ominous hillside) with another scene where the two worried parents have a sincere spat about who is to blame for their kids going missing on that ominous hillside. It's a well-performed moment of two struggling parents letting pent up thoughts of each other explode […]
Masked Mystery Man Sells Movie in Canadian Metropolis
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 14, 2012 | Comments (2)There are a lot of professions out there that might require a person to wear a mask: welder, murderer, Mexican professional wrestler. But one job that we don't often think of as being held by hooded weirdos is film director. A mysterious figure from Belarus known only as Makinov is looking to change all of that, however. Despite the fact that Makinov appears in public only while wearing a creepy red bag over his head, and despite the fact that nobody really has any idea who he is, he was somehow able to make a horror movie called Come Out and Play and get it shown at TIFF. According to the festival's synopsis, Come Out and Play is a movie about a young couple (Vinessa Shaw and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) looking to vacation on a beautiful island off the coast of Mexico. Unfortunately, things take a tragic turn when they discover that the island is populated solely by creepy children who want to murder them. Ain't that always the easiest way to ruin a vacation?

The Trivial Eye: Mad Boys & Girls
The period costumes and hairstyles of Mad Men are so perfectly done, and the '60s production design so pervasive, that it's startling to be reminded that the cast members have lives outside the show. And that some of them have the same history of ludicrous hairstyles and inadvisable outfits that the rest of us do. As Mad Men begins its final season (or next-to-final half-season? or whatever) this weekend, can you recognize these eight cast members in their pre-Sterling-Cooper days?

Accessorizing with blinged-out bullets definitely makes a statement; these artillery fitted adornments are bold and powerful symbols that ultimately give any warrior woman that extra edge.
With a collection featuring pendant knives and bullet bangles, there are many innovative uses for old shrapnel and war-related leftovers to fabricate necklaces, rings and bracelets. In an age where gender equality and barrier demolition has progressed so far, everyday jewelry underscores the commanding presence that women attribute to themselves. The growing popularity of such trinkets is a way for women to brandish their defiant attitudes and refusal to seem subservient.
Not only serving as a comment on a contemporary social issue, these fashion items leave a hard-hitting impression.

The sky is the limit for the Emeryville, California-based studio that has time and time again topped itself since it began making movies.

Mill Wharf Cinemas
1 Mill Wharf Plaza,
1 person favorited this theater
The Scituate Playhouse was an old big wooden theatre, beautiful inside with a sea-scape design. It was built in the late-1930's with seating for 778. Before CinemaScope was intalled in 1954, it had a lighthouse on each side of the screen. The walls had hand painted floor to ceiling murals before the theatre was split into three in the 1970's. It later gained a fourth screen.
The seats in front of the screen used to flood with a high tide and the harbor was right behind the screen. It was owned for many years by Lockwood & Gordon, then by Sonderling, followed by a couple of local chains. Torn down in 2003, it was replaced in 2004 by a huge condo complex and a new small twin movie theatre which was operated by Patriot Cinemas chain.
Patriot Cinemas at The Mill Wharf Plaza was reopened in summer of 2008 with "Shrek 2" and "Harry Potter 3". Patriot Cinemas at The Mill Wharf Plaza was remodeled with the addition of stadium seating. It was taken over by South Shore Cinemas on January 1, 2011.
Recent comments (view all 13 comments)
I believe that the old Scituate Playhouse was originally a 1920s-era summer theatre, later turned into a single-screen cinema which lasted for many years before being twinned and then quaded. The old building had developed structural problems by 2000, and it was closed. But, as pointed out above, it did unexpectedly reopen for the summer of 2001 for one last fling.
The Quincy Patriot-Ledger of July 10 reported that a plaque will be placed in the lobby in memory of Brian Marshall who led the move to either preserve the old Scituate Playhouse or replace it with a new cinema. Marshall died suddenly in 2001 just minutes after he spoke at a meeting in Scituate Town Hall.
The 1927 Film Daily Yearbook lists 2 movie venues for Scituate MA. One is the Idle Hour Theater with 400 seats and the other is the Satuit Playhouse with 600 seats, open for movies 2 days per week. I think that the Satuit Playhouse and the Scituate Playhouse are one in the same.
The 1927 FDY also lists a movie theater in North Scituate, the Victoria Theatre with 300 seats; plus the Town Hall auditorium in Cohasset with 340 seats.
The Old Victoria theatre in N. Scituate still stands. It is noe the office for a painter, landscaper etc. It didn.t close until the 30's after the Satuit Playhouse was built and opened with sound, The Victoria owner didn't think sound would catch on so he kept his movies silent along with Millie Whorff on piano. I guess he was stubborn and lost and shut the theatre down.
Patriot Cinemas did not renew their lease on the Cameo in Weymouth and the Mill Wharf in Scituate. Bret and Michelle Hardy started a new company, South Shore Cinemas, to run these two theatres as of January 1. Today's Globe South section has an article about them:
Cinematic revival: Couple's love of movies inspired them to take over two-screen theaters
The Mill Wharf Cinemas' new website is: View link
Thanks for posting the updates…yes, my wife and I are the new operators at the Mill Wharf Cinema. We ran the old Playhouse for the final two years of its existence, and we're happy to be back. It's a small, friendly, boutique-style, two-screen cinema. Thank you.
Scituate is in Mass but there is one in R.I.. The old scituate playhouse was called the Satuit Playhouse after the original spelling of the town. The old theatre was big and pretty and owned originally by Lockwood/Gordon then Sonderling and then run by others including Hoyts. When it was to be closed it was taken over and run by The present operators Brett and his wife for a couple of years. It was then torn down and replaced with a new Condo complex upstairs and a twin cinema and ice cream shop downstairs. It was then run by Patriot Cinemas. Patriot cinemas vacated it and the Cameo theatre in Weymouth and they were once again operated by Brett and his wife. The theatres are modern and clean. One is small with about 90 seats and the other is about a 200 or less seater. Both have good size screens, stadium seating and stereo sound. Very comfortable and good Popcorn.
Perhaps someone with a long memory will recognize the photo a lower right on this page of the January 8, 1938, issue of Boxoffice. It illustrates an article about rubber mats for theater entrances, and shows the outer lobby of the Satuit Playhouse.
Please change your seat count to approx 200 cinema 1 and 75 in cinema 2.

Ansar Jerusalem beheads 4 Egyptians accused of being Israeli 'spies'
Ansar Jerusalem, (also known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis), has released a video displaying the graphic beheadings of four Egyptian civilians the group accused of being "spies" for Israel. According to Ansar Jerusalem, Israel has supposedly killed the group's members in cross-border drone strikes launched in the Sinai, including an alleged bombing on July 23. Egyptian government officials have denied Israeli involvement.
The video was first released on Ansar Jerusalem's official Twitter feed, which has since been taken down.
At the beginning of the video, a masked terrorist is shown reading a statement while standing behind the four civilians, who are kneeling and blindfolded. The video then cuts to images of slain Ansar Jerusalem members and a photo of a burned vehicle, which the group says was struck by an Israeli missile.
Much of the video is then devoted to showing the four men's "confessions." They say that they gave information to Israeli intelligence in return for payments. Their confessions are made under clear duress, and should not be accepted at face value.
After the footage of the four purported confessions is aired, the video returns to the scene of the masked terrorist and others standing behind them. The men are then beheaded and their decapitated heads are placed on their corpses.
In the past, Ansar Jerusalem has published videos showing members of Egyptian security forces and other alleged spies being executed. But the new video marks an escalation in the violent tactics the group is willing to broadcast in its propaganda.
The video comes just over one week after the Islamic State, which claims to rule over a "caliphate" stretching over large portions of Iraq and Syria, released a video featuring the beheading of American photojournalist James Foley.
Ansar Jerusalem's own execution video is comparable to the Islamic State's, and the group may have decided to release it after Foley's death received so much international attention.
Earlier this year, an Ansar Jerusalem leader voiced his support for the Islamic State. And the Egyptian press has published rumors that Ansar Jerusalem has sworn bayat (an oath of allegiance) to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the Islamic State's emir. But these rumors are, thus far, false. Ansar Jerusalem did not publicly endorse, let alone swear allegiance to, Baghdadi after his subordinates claimed in late June that he now rules as "Caliph Ibrahim." It is likely that some members of Ansar Jerusalem do support the Islamic State, but the extent of that support is unclear. And there are other indications that the group is allied with al Qaeda.
Al Qaeda avoids beheading videos
Al Qaeda has shied away from videos such as the ones produced by the Islamic State and now Ansar Jerusalem. In 2005, for example, Ayman al Zawahiri wrote a letter to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who was then the head of al Qaeda in Iraq. Zarqawi was notorious for his barbaric executions, which were recorded for the world to see. But Zawahiri argued that such tactics, while they may be justified, were counterproductive when it comes to building popular support for the jihadist ideology.
"Among the things which the feelings of the Muslim populace who love and support you will never find palatable ... are the scenes of slaughtering the hostages," Zawahiri wrote to Zarqawi. Zawahiri continued: "You shouldn't be deceived by the praise of some of the zealous young men and their description of you as the shiekh of the slaughterers, etc. They do not express the general view of the admirer and the supporter of the resistance in Iraq, and of you in particular by the favor and blessing of God."
Zawahiri did not argue that Zarqawi should spare his hostages; he simply didn't want Zarqawi to carry on with his over-the-top executions, which sicken the stomachs of even potential supporters.
"[W]e can kill the captives by bullet," Zawahiri wrote, because "[t]hat would achieve that which is sought after without exposing ourselves to the questions and answering to doubts." Simply put, Zawahiri argued, "We don't need this." Zawahiri comprehended that "more than half of" the jihadists' "battle is taking place in the battlefield of the media," and unspeakable acts of barbarism can be a liability, no matter how justifiable they are from the jihadists' perspective.
Al Qaeda and its various branches have executed hostages and they will continue to do so. In 2002, for instance, 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed beheaded Daniel Pearl, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. And al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has executed hostages as well. However, al Qaeda's senior leaders do not think that graphic snuff videos are an effective means for promulgating their message.
The difference in tactics can be seen in how al Qaeda has handled the captivity of Warren Weinstein, an American who has been held by the group since 2011, and the recent release of Peter Theo Curtis by the Al Nusrah Front, al Qaeda's official branch in Syria.
Earlier this month, al Qaeda released a message directed at Weinstein's family. "We are not interested in retaining the prisoner in our protection; we are only seeking to exchange him in return for the fulfillment of our demands that we have conveyed," the message reads. Al Qaeda did not threaten to behead Weinstein if its demands were not met. The organization encouraged Weinstein's family to "pressurize" the American government into bartering for his release.
Al Qaeda has not threatened to kill Warren Weinstein, an American who has been in the group's custody since 2011. |
Al Qaeda's message was likely inspired by the success the Taliban had in exchanging Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for the top five Taliban commanders held at Guantanamo.
Interestingly, As Sahab, al Qaeda's official propaganda arm, included the hashtag #JamesFoley in one tweet that featured the message to Weinstein's family. Al Qaeda seemed to be inviting a comparison between Weinstein's captivity and Foley's.
And just days after the Islamic State released its video of Foley's execution, the Al Nusrah Front released Curtis from its custody. The deal to release Curtis was brokered by Qatar, which provides a permissive fundraising environment for Al Nusrah and other jihadist groups. Although the deal to free Curtis had been in the works prior to the release of the Foley execution video, the difference between Curtis' fate and Foley's says much about how the rival jihadist groups are approaching hostage operations.
Some supporters of the Islamic State, which is at odds with Al Nusrah, have even denounced Curtis's release on their social media accounts.
READER COMMENTS: "Ansar Jerusalem beheads 4 Egyptians accused of being Israeli 'spies'"
Posted by Birbal Dhar at September 1, 2014 11:15 AM ET:
I think they were just simply Egyptians kidnapped, because they were in Israeli prisons for some crimes (i.e. smuggling) and nothing else. Just saying that you were in an Israeli prison makes Islamic terrorists think that you are working for Mossad. Hence why they kill people before asking questions or any proof of evidence.
Posted by Evan at September 4, 2014 5:14 AM ET:
Just goes to show what a 6th century educational mindset gets you....
It's somehow incomprehensible to these barbarians that we don't need to plant microchips on them to target them, that's absurd, but look at the press releases associated with AQ groups executing local Egyptians, Yemenis, Pakistanis, etc...
There's almost always some mention of "secret chips," being planted on targets for the Americans and Isrealis...
I guess they just don't get that we can literally watch them for days on end without ever blinking....
All we have to do is wait, and be patient, and our targets will present themselves accordingly.

So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house. | 20 Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet now, my sister; he is your brother.

Wine Ice Cream Will Have To Wait In Louisiana
Alcohol infused ice cream was debated in Baton Rouge yesterday. It appears as though we will have to wait for a cold 40 on a cone.
Alcohol infused ice cream was debated in Baton Rouge yesterday. It appears as though we will have to wait for a cold 40 on a cone.
New Orleans is the only city in Louisiana authorized to hold buyback programs, although Baton Rouge has had one for several years.
Tossing a cigarette butt could now be the equivalent of tossing $300 out the window. Louisiana smokers, watch your butts or you could be paying for it.
The legislation by New Orleans Rep. Helena Moreno prohibits a person convicted of misdemeanor domestic abuse battery from possessing a gun for 10 years.
If you are what you eat then a Louisiana Senate Committee wants you to know the full story of who you are. A bill has been sent to the full Senate that would require chain restaurants to fully disclose nutritional information to all consumers.
Louisiana drivers may continue to hold the phone while they drive. A bill making hands free devices mandatory has been deferred for this session of the legislature.
A bill being discussed in the Louisiana Legislature is designed to keep us safer on the roadways and lower our car insurance. How come this hasn't passed before? Probably because a lot of us don't want it to.
Judges would no longer be forced to retire after reaching age 70.
Electronic cigarettes seem to be a safe alternative to smoking for adults but not for children. That's the opinion of a Louisiana State Senator who wants the sale of E-Cigs to minors banned.
Flick your butt out the window of your car and that could cost you $300 and 8 hours of community service under a new law being proposed in the current session of the legislature.

What hunter pets would you like to see tamable? {WoW}
May 10th 2010 8:55PM Damn GC, I almost forgot about his promise.
A moose pet will be insane. But what would be more insane is to make pets on par with wolves. Problem is that the wolf is way too good compared to other pets. Make all the other pets have the howl ability in the talent tree.
A bonus if I could as crazy as it sounds is make all pets tamable without beast mastery. And allow the beast mastery talent that allows exotic pets allow the user to tame 2 pets at the same time. To balance I guess the talent would do something similar like the titan grip nerf and reduce the amount of damage the pets do by 10%.
This could also add to depth to BM dps. Maybe the pets will do more damage based on the timing of their attacks together. Maybe animal A does a bleed effect that increases damage with every stack. And animal B does a attack that does allot of damage based on how many stacks there is. But when done gets rid of the stacks.
Doesn't that sound cool at all?
Breakfast Topic: Who gets to grow up? {WoW}
Apr 17th 2010 12:56AM I like Thrall's armor. He is the only character left that is not a sell out to new gear that comes out like the rest of us.
I think Cairne needs a better look. Actually in general Tauren models look terribad.
If anything I am not worried about any faction leader updates I am more worried about character race remodels.
The Tauren/undead/human need the most work. With the new Varian and Jaina models it seems like human models have hope.
Now the Tauren face needs to stop looking like a square.(use more polygons lol)
And the undead look more of a joke then threatening with the increased visuals in the game. I mean why do bones block armor? Why is it so important that I must show everyone my bones. Even to the limit of making holes on my robe to show bones.
With undead I would like them to not be hunched anymore. An ability to hide my bones. And a more threatening face. And maybe a decent freaking racial that makes them useful again.
More Cataclysm change details for druids {WoW}
Apr 14th 2010 7:16PM I like the idea of making tree of life a minor glyph to be up all the time.
And who cares if it is just flavor. fury wars/enhance shammys/Ret pallys are basically the same thing when doing dps. The difference is the flavor of shinny bright attacks as a pally. Element and wolves as a shammy. And bloody blood baths as a warrior. They all dps in the same way (I played all 3) I see no reason not add something because of flavor.
To not add something because it is flavor is simply stupid. With that opinion we might as well make warriros/dks/pallys one class and......
wait......they are mixing mages and locks right?..........Damn I guess that is what they are doing.

Apr 14th 2010 5:48PM Last I checked the last thing mages needed was a buff for survival. Only time I die one on one is when afk. Only time I die is in unfair situations like 3 on 1.
This is going to be very bad. I can see rogues and Dk's even having MORE problems trying to take me or other mages down.
ATM any smart mage can kite melee indefinitely. And can escape most situations in pvp.
Last thing they need is more haste and faster running speed on a somewhat low cooldown spell.
Breakfast Topic: If you could have any ability in WoW {WoW}
Mar 21st 2010 2:43PM Power word : Shield/ice barrier, actually ice barrier requires you to have frost bolt to work. nevermind. So Power word shield it is.
I will be able to do so much with such an ability.
Either that or tame beast. But I would hope that I can have as many pets as I want if I had tame beast.
Breakfast Topic: What would the ultimate raid be? {WoW}
Mar 20th 2010 8:59PM Brann Bronzebeard is fairly confident that the real Sargeras never actually set foot on Azeroth, implying the real Sargeras is still around in the Twisting Nether.[8] Lending this theory further credibility is in War of the Ancients, the power of the Well of Eternity was needed to create a portal strong enough for Sargeras to attempt to enter Azeroth, the creation of which took a long time to be completed. The portal used to bring the Sargeras that Aegwynn fought was powered by a handful of demons and was created in only a few minutes.
In an interview to Chris Metzen and Micky Neilson they said that "he's out there somewhere", that "you can't put him down" and "he's not going to stay down for long". At last Metzen said: I'd be very disappointed in us if we didn't leverage him fully.[10]
Breakfast Topic: What would the ultimate raid be? {WoW}
Mar 20th 2010 8:48PM > His spirit is supposedly drifting in the Twisting Nether, unable to access his original form
No......the Sargeras that came to Azeroth is not the real one. It is only the avatar of Sargeras. Meaning a much weaker clone of the original. Kind of like how Freya has her own avatar in the basin in Northrend. And as I guessed Sargeras most likely has a bunch of avatars flying around the place doing the basic killing and plundering of planets.
Based on the story of Sargeras he killed a bunch of the original gods that created everything. If not all the main prime gods. I don't remember. The gods that you kill in wow such as C'tun are jokes. If I recall they are gods only for Azeroth. Which the primal Gods created themselves.
So if we ever meet the REAL sargeras I don't Azeroth will make it.
Arcane Brilliance: An argument for raiding as a frost mage {WoW}
Mar 7th 2010 12:56PM Then I guess you agree to allow BM hunters to raid......
If you let one faulty dps class come then all the others will come. You will then maybe see a sub. rogue, maybe some guy that wants to dps as protection as a pally.
So yes you may agree to bring a frost but when is the line drawn?
Because if you don't bring a BM hunter or a sub. rogue you are nothing more then a hypocrite.
Right now frost is NOWHERE near the gap. It may be coming close NEXT patch. BUT it is not.
It is why this article is disturbing. This article is the same as saying "BM hunters should come raid, and come all sub. rogues."
If you want to do bad dps so badly then do it in a heroic and don't waste your other 24 members time when you don't meet the enrage timer on a boss.
Because all you are doing is being carried by everyone else and warming the seat. Raiding is a team effort.
Arcane Brilliance: An argument for raiding as a frost mage {WoW}
Mar 6th 2010 9:00PM Sure.....ice may be fine for raiding
In a realistic point of view......no
SOOOOO, get a 25 raid invite. You come as frost. Do much lower dps then other mages.
Next 25 raid you don't get invited.......are you surprised ?
Bottom line is for progression guilds you want everyone at their best. And a mages best is not ice by far.
I can't argue how his article misses the key point. ANYONE CAN DPS. But it is who dps the best that helps get the job done.
Ya you bring some arguments there.......I guess I should bring a BM hunter hehe....NO
Bottom line the important part is the dps. All the shields/slowing/ survival is not needed if you do your job as dps and GET OUT OF THE FIRE.
The article is insulting
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: On Future Tanking, Page 2 {WoW}
Mar 5th 2010 6:46PM I just quit wow a week ago. Got boring and well.....guild was dying so ya.
Was main tank warrior and then I saw this comment
You have Incite + Deep Wounds for Thunderclap and also Shockwave...Yes, you're balanced around it."
I am really shocked at GC for saying this. I don't put points in deep wounds to aoe tank. I stop at incite.
What bothers me is that he dares to admit that prot tanking is balanced around talents in the arms tree that is used for fury/arms dps. (I used to use deep wounds but learned to use more single target abilities on different targets.)
I mean yes having deep wounds helps in keeping aoe threat but it is not something you can count on at all. Shockwave crit chance is very low and has around a 30 second CD. To boldly say that we are balanced on aoe threat on a ability that has around 10% crit chance and is up only every 30 seconds just insults my intelligence. A smart tank will always tank based on what they know will happen rather then a (hope) it will happen. And this is the same reason why EH tanking/ armor stacking is the the most popular. We know that we will have that much HP and that much armor at all times then to count on percent chances on dodge/parry.
And no warrior AOE tanking is not at a good space and yes it can be improved. And based on post in the past of what he has said I don't think he knows anything about warriors at all.
such post as http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/blizztracker.html?sid=1&forumId=13395580&pageNo=2
"This isn't intended to sound snarky: Are you really having that much trouble holding groups in heroic dungeons?"-GC
Which was directed to a post about dps pulling aggro too easily
And then the resent post we see now. Honestly I don't buy anything this man says. Most of his answers back are rude and have logic of a person that only observes but never actually feels.
If anything guys go by your own personal logic then listening to GC. People like Rossi and other experienced players have a much better understanding of the game then GC. He continues to contradict himself and make himself just look like a fool to everyone.

4-night stay at The Savoy!!! Incredible hotel with excellent service and amenities. Close to everything. Beautiful bar!

Historical Traveler Reviews The Savoy London
Absolutely fabulous!!
Stayed one night at The Savoy last weekend, having found an extremely cheap internet rate at £139 we were expecting a room overlooking the bins or similar. However, on check in, we asked whether we'd be able to see the Eye from our room, and were immediatley upgraded at no extra charge to a river view suite ( £545 on the tariff board!). The room was huge and beautifully art deco style, with a massive marble bathroom and dressing room.. we had a direct view of the Eye and Big Ben which was simply breathtaking, especially at night. The staff were all fantastic, the breakfast was superb and the whole Savoy experience just made our weekend perfect. Even got my trainers cleaned by leaving them outside our door, though passed on the opportunity to arrange a private helicopter/jet!!!We would definitely stay again, although we'd be lucky to pull off such an amazing upgrade again I reckon, still, it's worth a try, if you don't ask you don't get!! The Savoy far exceeded our already high expectations for luxury and service and we'd highly recommend it to anyone.
Great Hotel
This was a wonderful 6 night visit at the Savoy Hotel. I stayed in a King Superior Corner Room. The bed was so comfortable. The bathroom huge, clean, modern and had lots of marble. The staff is a bit stand offish, but pleasant non the less. The location of this hotel is perfect and near to the undergrounds, covent garden and leicester square. I would definately recommend this hotel and stay there again myself. Once I find a hotel I like, I usually visit it time after time.
What a terrible experience!!
I've been to London many, many times, stayed in many different hotels and this was the worse . And it was the one I was expecting to be the best! The room was tired, with stains on the bedcover, the bathroom was old and the shower had a hole from which the water ran out. It seemed I was in some 2 star hotel. Service was terrible. It was the first time I wanted to get out of London quickly. If anyone is considering staying there think twice. Spend your money in the Dorchester, the Ritz, or even in some good 3 star hotel like the Bonnington.
The best hotel in london
I called and spoke to a wonderful person named kelly in reservations I was able to get a deal on a corner room overlooking the river best view in london having stayed at the ritz i was over welmed by the savoy the ritz has no view and no spa. Eat in the river resturant next door is know other place like it.
A disappointing room
The Savoy has always been my favourite hotel ever since spending our wedding night in a fabulous river-view suite. Return visits have been equally delightful. Our last visit, in celebration of my husband's birthday, was a great let-down. Service and food were excellent, but the room - described as a "superior" king - had no view (I appreciate that with the room rate we had and a full hotel this was not altogether unexpected) and was not up to expectations. The decor was very corporate in style (this was one of the modern rooms in the new wing and not as pretty or as romantic as we had hoped). The "king-sized bed" consisted of twin beds pushed together, each side having its own individual duvet rather than the sheets and blankets we would have expected. This room was not "superior" - unless this is Savoy-speak for a basic room.
Great Service
I stayed at the Savoy in February, 2003. We had a standard king room and it was quite nice. The room was large and clean, the bathroom was large, the tub was huge and the shower was fabulous. Service was very good. The halls are a little run down but the lobby area is very nice.
My daughter procliamed the hot chocolate in the restaurant to be the best she'd ever had. Staff delivered several kiddie videos for her to watch without our even asking.
The Savoy was GREAT!
We stayed at The Savoy for a week in mid-September. We both thought it was fantastic. We stayed in a standard room which was wonderful. The room was very clean and decorated nicely. The best thing was the bathroom!! It was huge and the tub was absolutely the best and built for two!! The location of the Savoy could not be better, so close to everything. It made it really easy to tour London. The bar in the hotel is open late, so when the pubs close at 11:00 you can head back to the hotel for a night cap. I highly recommend this hotel.
Amazing, worth every penny
We stayed at The Savoy on the last night of our trip through Europe, and it was truly a luxurious and wonderful way to end our vacation.
Everything was immaculate, from our large gorgeous room and bathroom to the reception and restaurant. The hotel is perfectly located on the Strand near all the shows and very close to the Covent Garden tube stop. If you're willing to spend the money for a truly 4 star experience, I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Fabulous art deco chic
Stayed at the Savoy in Oct 03, and the service was superb. The room was very pretty in it's own severe art deco way, but had a huge bathroom, and was very cosy. Lovely old fashioned quirks like curved doors. Had to turn the fax machine off though as the flashing is a bit annoying at 2 in the morning.
If there is one quibble it is that the room service is very expensive (7 pounds for a cup of tea???) and so are the restaurants. But the Strand is right by you for cheap food and drink 24hours a day, so it isn't a major concern.
The American bar is a great London bar, and the service was faultless.
An excellent hotel if you can splash out for it.
Worst Hotel Experience Ever!
It doesn't get much worse than this for a five star hotel! Firstly, the room we booked was just a standard king size room. It was disappointingly run down, as is most of the hotel. Carpet was stained, and the furniture very worn. Then, we found the toilet was badly blocked and nearly flooded every time we flushed it. We arrived at 10pm so we decided to lodge the problem in the morning, as we were desperately tired having travelled all day. However, upon pulling back the sheet to get into bed, I discovered a black mark (like a shoe print) on the sheet. I called housekeeping and asked them to replace the sheet. They did. I mentioned the toilet but said we wanted to deal with it in the morning. In the morning, I went to the shower (the bathrooms by the way are so small that you cannot get more than one person in at a time) and grabbed a towel to dry myself. To my horror, there was dried blood spots on the towel (very clearly blood). They hadn't replaced the towel obviously, and you can imagine my disgust.
This on top of the toilet on top of the sheet was enough to blow my cool. I demanded the management come up (with my hair in a towel still I was so furious!) and they offered to change our room and upgrade. We moved rooms, and during the transition (which they assured us would be smooth and would not require us to do a thing) the housekeeping then threw all our brand new magazines out (we had them in a stack, about 15, Architectural Digest, Fortune, Vogue, Tatler, Country Life to name a few, clearly not rubbish). They did give us a complimentary breakfast and a bottle of champagne but the whole experience was so awful, that no amount of grovelling from them could make me return. I would not recommend going there if you are at all clean and hygenically minded (imagine if it was my in-a-hurry partner with his mind occupied that had grabbed that towel - the health risks are enormous)!

The tea room at the Savoy
There could be worse spots for a typical English breakfast. Went to bed last night right after dinner at 8:30 pm and woke up at 2:30 am. Luckily went back to sleep until 10:30, guess we were that tired. Gene
Traditional English dinner before our first show
We ate pre-dinner theatre at Simpsons at the Strand with Scottish roast beef carved at the table with Yorkshire pudding. Saw King Charles III expecting a farce got a really great drama quite different than we expected. We were a bit challenged to understand our British waiter at times but persevered.
A Typical London Day
Well, we have been extremely lucky whilst here in London and have had really gorgeous warm weather until today. That's okay, after our extremely busy day yesterday we just had a quiet day in. We ate in the hotel here a light lunch to save heading out and I got ready early as we were meeting Steven McRae, who is a Principal with The Royal Ballet …
Bunch of Blarney
... location, but had still missed the bus! We just stood there for a minute figuring out what we should do next. It was too late to find another tour to Blarney today since they all leave early to get to Blarney at a decent time being 3 hours away. Subway sandwich shop was the perfect place to drown our early morning sorrows. Besides, it was the only food place with a grocery mart attached to it that was open. Tiffani looked like she was about ...
Day 11 - 14
... Markets. Having underestimated the time it would take us to get there we only had three quarters of an hour. The markets were vibrant and filled with the most delicious food stalls. They had a wonderful Christmas feel which made the whole experience even more fun. After buying delicious food items, including salted caramel chocolate and basil Olive Oil, we went to Kings Cross to meet with Sue. We had a lovely lunch together and it was so nice to see her ...

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.

The first lady was introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., at the first of two fundraisers in the Burlington area.
Michelle Obama took the stage at 4:57 p.m. in a ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel & Conference Center in South Burlington before an enthusiastic crowd of about 900 who had paid between $50 and $500 to attend the fundraiser for the Obama 2012 campaign.
She spoke until 5:24 p.m.
She engaged the crowd with stories about her reluctance at having her husband run for president.
"I took some convincing - by some I mean a lot," she said. "He still owes me."
She came around, she said, after meeting people on the campaign trail. "Their stories were my family's stories. Their stories were Barack's family's stories."
"That changed me," she said. "You all changed me."
Her speech alternated between personal and policy. "He never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise," she said. "Barack always reminds me - he says, 'Just chill.' He reminds me we are playing a long game here."
She recounted the president's accomplishments. "It is easy to forget what we have accomplished along the way," she said.
She highlighted the economy, health reform, green energy, stem cell research, among other issues as accomplishments. When she mentioned ending the military's don't ask-don't tell gay policy, she drew especially enthusiastic cheers.
She emphasized the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden. "That happened under this president," she said.
Michelle Obama appealed to the crowd to help re-elect her husband. "We need your help to finish what we've started," he said.
She ended the speech saying, "Im going to ask you one last question, Vermont. Are you in?" She added, "I hope you're all fired up."
She left the stage and went to shake hands with audience members.

The evening will conclude with a patriotic medley performed with fireworks!
I am a Deputy Chief with the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department. I wanted to let you about a great community and family oriented event that I thought your readers may be interested attending. On Saturday August, 23 from 6 PM to 10 PM, Symmes Township is hosting a concert in the park featuring two of the top live bands in the area.
From 6 PM to 8 PM, the stage will come alive with music from the Big Trouble Blues Band. This band has been making the rounds covering a variety of top blues music along with some of their own original scores.
Next on the stage is the Tom Daugherty Orchestra. This orchestra is an incredibly popular "Big Band" type orchestra. They will perform their "Glenn Miller Tribute Show" which showcases music from the 30's and 40's.
The event is free and will have some fun activities for children as well as a variety of food and beverages for the adults. Proceeds from concession sales will benefit Tri-State Honor Flight, an organization that is committed to taking WWII and Korean War veterans to see their memorials, free of charge, in Washington, DC. The evening will conclude with a patriotic medley performed with fireworks!
The event is being held at the Home of the Brave Park located at 11605 Lebanon Road in Symmes Township on 8/23 from 6PM to 10PM. Parking and admission is free.
If possible, can you please distribute in any weekly correspondence to your readers.

Chrysler Sebring Convertible
redsebring08 Posts: 1
mpfi Posts: 5I have a 2007 Sebring Sedan, 2.4L - 4 Cyl, stumbling during acceleration when raining. The Sebring's computer is not posting any error code (or Check Engine Light). The first Chrysler dealer inspecting the car recommended a new throttle body; part replaced but did not solve the problem. After this, I replaced the MAP sensor; did not correct the problem. A few days ago, I took it to the third dealership where a new set of spark plugs was recommended and installed. However, this morning it rained a lot around here and the car began missing/stumbling again. I am heading back to the dealer. :sick:
Any ideas? -
balihai1967 Posts: 1
isaachernandez Posts: 14I had a similar problem. When I accelerated hard, I had the bucking sensation you described. When the problem got worse, it even happened on low acceleration on level ground. The problem was the camshaft position sensor. There should be an error code saved in the computer. Go to an auto parts store store that will read it for free. I had difficulty finding the part so I just took it to the dealer to replace. There was nothing in the Haynes manual on replacing the device. If you have a mechanic you trust, you might give him a try. If you are handy with tools, you might try a Chilton's repair book or one of those online services. I think Checker had the part. Look on line before driving around. Good luck :shades:
tchado1 Posts: 3Anyone know what is the thing in the "box" between the rearview mirror and the handle of the roof? I started hearing this rattle comming from there, so I opened it up and it looks like some sort of magnet or something... it stopped making the rattle for a few days and now its back.

lildebbie1 Posts: 1i have the same problem with 1996 sebring,i was told it was two problems causing this,the first is the M.A.P sensor and the other was my catalytic converter was bad and causing my engine to misfire and stall out in the middle of traffic,mostly after coming to a stop. so try these and if all else fails go to autozone and get a free diagnostics reading,thats how i got my answer,because the damn dirty dealership refused to fix the recall,also note that the diagnostics reading says it was a factory defect and chrysler still refused to fix it. and also check if there are any recalls on your car. hope this helps
mpfi Posts: 5Sorry that it took me so long to share the solution to this case.
Problem gone after the fuel pump assembly was replaced. Please, note that no computer code or check engine light came on at any moment while the vehicle had this problem; the fuel pump pressure was perfectly correct as verified by the dealer service dept.
Along with the new fuel pump, two other fuel tank related parts were replaced as recommended by the dealership service manager and a repair tech: a valve and a plastic lines assembly. These two additional components were related to the fuel EVAP recovery system at the fuel tank.
The $700.00 plus repair investment (parts and labor) was done "at risk" since there was no check engine light present as previously stated.
Additional details: Sebring 2007, Base Model, 4 Dr, 2.4L, Approx. Mileage at the time of this repair: 63 - 64K miles.
Other parts unnecessarily replaced prior to the final solution:
MAP Sensor
Throttle body assembly -
isaachernandez Posts: 14There is a thread elsewhere that addresses this point. I have the same problem with my 2002 sebring convertable. You have air in the Hydrolic system. I disassembled my system an burped and topped off the system and it worked great. It didn't take long to come back. If I leave the top down for a few days, the problem comes back. If I leave it up for a few weeks, it goes away. The problem is a leak in the system. There is a lift, hose, fitting or the pump that has developed a leak. Since I live in the dessert, I am waiting for cooler weather, ambition and money to start replacing parts. Good luck.
jal012773 Posts: 63I'm considering purchasing a 2000 Sebring JXi convertible. Price at dealer is $3900, mileage is 124,000. Is there anything I should be aware of as far as common issues with this model? It's a good looking car, but I can't afford to get stuck with a money pit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. -
dklynn2 Posts: 6I have a 98 that I've had since 2000 and I love it. Remarkably little maintenance (KNOCK ON WOOD) except "normal" stuff like battery, tires, brakes, etc. until sort of lately (but I just went over 100K mi). Unfortunately late repairs mostly on the $1K level - back side window quit and it needed both a new motor and something else ($800); headlights (they get translucent and then are like $300 each (!!)); rear view mirror (have had to replace twice but got on eBay)... Now I need a new top (but I notice most folks around me with canvas tops don't have same problem - rotted out thread (NOT the canvas)). But bottom line is I will drive it until it's not fixable - I love the lines, the convertible, the back seat you can put real adults in, big trunk, reliability (see above wood comment). If you want to know more, send me your email address. PS $3900 is a steal, if it's in good shape - get a mechanic to check it out and maybe CarFax for wrecks, ask owner (and look in his eyes).

kimf1 Posts: 3I took my 1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXI, to the dealer for a diagnostic (as no one else could tell me what was really wrong with it). Well, $300, in testing later, I was told that the problem was with the PCV Module.
I am paying $1,130 for tests, module, and oil change. The dealer recently called me and said that the module was now doing fine, they re-tested and said I now need a new distributor. They stated that was the problem all along, they basically said that the distributor messed up my PVC Module and that is why they could not find the problem when I first got the diagnostic.
Now, it is going to cost me $1,640. Is what they are telling me actually true? Am I just being ripped off? I do not have money to burn and this was very upsetting for me. Should I believe them? Please advise. Thank you.

eroosejx00 Posts: 1
dklynn2 Posts: 6I found no successful methods and ended up replacing the top after the car flooded (water runs into a reservoir behind the back seat and sits if the drains are plugged (as mine were), causing the floor pan to repeatedly fill up...ugh!) I found a new canvas top (installed) at a local top shop for $1100 - can probably find for less if you shop around. (PS i replaced the whole top because most of the thread in the piping, around the window and some of the seams had rotted out - found no one willing / able to resew or install a new window w/o taking the top off, at which point you may as well replace. Vinyl is obviously a lot cheaper.)
neonitis Posts: 11eroosejx00: On the window of my 2006 Sebring attached to vinyl convertible top, i used Household Amazing Goop, purchased at Walmart for like 4 or 5 dollars. The vinyl was coming apart from window in most places, and window would shake while i was driving. The top part of the window was not a problem , so i just used that goop on the lower part of the vinyl top where it's glued, pressed, whatever the factory does to the vinyl top window. I went ahead and took the whole lower part of top loose from window, and used the goop thru from left to right. Just put about an 1/8 " bead, then press firmly against window. To keep together for over 24 hours to cure best, i used that clear packing tape across the window and vinyl top. It has been holding great for over 5 months wiith no problem even when i have the drivers windows down traveling over 50 miles per hour. Try it, should work fine. David
nstreet Posts: 1Cam sensor is part of the distributor, its a $300 item got to get the distributor, (Mitubishi) sebring V6 is prone to distributor problems and distributor electrical issues due to location of the distributor. Chrysler was going to have Distributorless ignition on this motor but decided against it because Mitsubishi wanted too much more money for it.
charlessr Posts: 111. I would like to second the motion for the "goop" solution to the back window of the the top.....I did mine in stages working from the sides toward the middle....the top has been up and won a number of times and in some pretty good rain storms...working well...
2. last spring I had a problem with the top going up....I was told the right cylinder was bad and it was replaced....now..often the top goes up half way ..then stops...I put it down and try again and it slowly closes...someone said that it may be that the fluid has air bubbles.....anyone have experience with this??????
