After the digital conversion last year, a platter and 35mm projector have been put on display in the lobby. I've added pictures of these artifacts to the photos section.
Location is Highland INDIANA, not Illinois.
This theatre is now known as Rogers Cinema 7. Obviously another screen has been added.
This theater now has digital projection according to its website.

According to Al Lienhardt who is the son of the Glarus Theatre's builder and operator, his father's parents operated a theater in the New Glarus Hotel. That might be the one you are referencing.
Theatre was opened March 13, 2013.
The theater is now operated by the Mackinac Arts council as the Center for the Arts. Films are shown twice a week during the summer.

According to the Brauerhouse website,
"Horror, hot rod, classic and killer B-movies" are shown on Sunday nights.
Has this theater converted to digital projection yet? It was up for sale last year because of this issue. No info on the website.
According to the website, the theater is currently on hiatus while the operators consider options. All activities and presentations have been cancelled.

Slow Ramp Up
I'm lying on my couch right now, looking at my road bike which needs a tube change before tomorrow morning's ride. I cannot summon the energy to do it.
I worked out twice today, once on the bike, again with a 4 mile hike, and I can't tell if I'm just that out of shape, or if I'm really feeling my age these days.
My rides have felt slow to me in 2015. It's almost May–I got a late start (we all did here in the Northeast), but I'm still feeling like riding is taking more effort than it should. Was my hibernation that profound? Is the hole I'm crawling out of that deep? I don't know.
I've set some goals for myself and I put some serious thought into them to make them reasonable, yet not too soft. I'm still super pressed for time, sneaking in rides here and there–an hour on the bike when I can grab it. When I do ride, it's almost always on the cross bike, and I almost always try to add something different: a new path. A piece of dirt road I haven't explored yet. Even just riding the grass next to the road. If it's going to be an effort, I need to keep it fun.
Today I stayed local while my son was at baseball practice, and explored the banks of the Connecticut River. I saw a loon and came across these raccoon tracks. These are the perks of exploring with a cross bike.
I finally hired a sitter–who starts tomorrow, The extra time I buy (literally) will allow me to push into rides that are 2, 3 or more hours. I need the base miles, more time in the saddle, to stretch and build my conditioning.
But again, right now I'm barely able to lift my arm to change the channel on the TV with the remote. Hopefully as I slowly re-enter my exercise routine my fitness will return and I won't feel so shattered every weekend.
Training Starts Now
Sometimes a nudge can set plans in motion.
Because we have had so much snow, I've enjoyed a few extra weeks to make plans about cycling. So what's to plan? Well–a lot. It takes a lot of thought to juggle a full time job, full time parenthood, and then tackle aggressive cycling goals.
Broad goals
- 3000 miles in 2015
- Three top 50% Cyclocross Finishes
- 10++ races/events
Events on the tentative schedule for 2015 (some will be added, some subtracted…)
- Domnarski Farm MTB Race June 7th
- JAM Fund Grand FUNdo July 25
- Forest Park CX Race August 22
- Blunt Park CX Race August 23
- Spartan Sprint OCR August 29
- TBD CX Race September 5-6
- TBD CX Race September 19-20
- The Gran Prix Gloucester Cyclocross Race September 26-27
- The Night Weasels Cometh CX Race September 30
- KMC Providence Cyclocross Festival & CX Race October 3-4
- TBD CX Race October 17-18
- Cycle-Smart International Cyclocross Race October 31-November 1
- Cheshire CX Race November 14
Any racing I do after mid November is gravy. Between daylight savings time and my son's extracurriculars, I am not able to keep my fitness at the level it needs to be to "race." I need to switch my mentality to manage my own expectations of myself–that's hard for me to do–and just go into any of these events with a more fun attitude. Cycle Smart is my last huge effort and then I need to just do what I can without feeling bad about not being able to do more.
I'd like to do more MTB races but the schedule just isn't lining up with my personal schedule. It's OK. I'm going to try and preride the Cat 2 route at Domnarski to be sure I can do it competently (I know I can do it, just don't want to sign up for complete humiliation). I took 1st in the Cat 3 race last year so I should be able to handle the Cat 2 race (but let's be clear–I have no delusions of podiums for that category).
Spartan Sprint kicked my ass last year and I'm going back this time and training for it. At least this year I'll know what a burpee is before taking on that event.
The cyclocross racing is the main focus for me. Last year I was distracted by a job change and much of my focus was there–and that was a wiser, more appropriate choice for me. As a result, my racing performance suffered, I rode less miles overall. I was a couple lbs. heavier and less fit, and my head wasn't in it like I wanted it to be. I'd like to write a different story this year. Nothing fictional, but something respectable (for me). Balance is needed in all things. I just want my cycling bucket to have a little more weight this year.
So what was that the nudge anyway? Stay tuned…..
Why I'm totally, completely, not ready for cyclocross
Ug! I'm not riding nearly enough for so many reasons. I'd like to being doing 70-80+ miles a week. Instead, I'm sometimes breaking 40. Why? Same old same old.
- No sitter. Freaking babysitters, I cannot find a reliable one to save my life. I really need to fix this because I'm not riding my bike after work.
- Work. I was riding to and from work every once and a while. That's pretty much stopped now. There's several reasons for this I won't get into, but mostly it's extremely difficult to squeeze 20 mins of riding before and after work, put a full day in, and still make it back in time to pick up my son from day camp. I just don't have to time without something giving.
- Needing rides to be more for fun. I've been super stressed lately and I use riding to work out tension, fill my brain with endorphins, and clear my head of the bullshit of life.
My life feels wobbly right now, and one of the most grounding elements for me in the last 10 years has been cycling. Friday evening I picked the hardest place I know to mountain bike. I needed to mash pedals, to hurt, to jar myself free of my stress. I fell off a bridge into the muddy edge of a pond. Win. Then, last Saturday I had the whole day to ride, and I thought about doing a 50 miler. Then I thought, well, maybe 40. Then I thought, no. Imposing a goal was just adding to my stress, and not taking it away. I needed to just go ride my bike and let the rest work itself out. It worked. 26 miles and I found a strong steady rhythm. I pedaled until I felt resolved, if only for a little while. Then I went home and got shit done (which also helps my stress). Sunday, rain was forecast so I tried to beat it. I didn't. That wasn't a bad thing. Mountain biking in the warm rain washed my week clean. Mountain biking always means a 1/3 of the miles I'd be doing on a road bike, but the visceral action of mountain biking is like deep tissue massage for my soul.
That leaves me here: not really ready for cyclocross. OK I've been riding some, but not training. Major Jake is still hanging in my basement, untuned, unlubed and needing new bar tape. I'm not doing intervals. I'm not practicing dismounts. I'm not practicing remounts. I'm not trying to cure my stutter step. I'm not practicing carries, suit-casing, or shouldering while sprinting up a muddy hill. And I haven't built that single speed cx bike yet either.
And I have to be honest, I'm not sure I should be putting my energies here, since life is needing my time and energy and some work that doesn't involve a bicycle.
I have a vacation coming up and will be riding my bike at the largest mountain bike park in the world. While it's unwise to have expectations, mine are high. I won't by riding the whole time but I will be immersed in one of the most active mountain biking cultures on the earth: Whistler, BC. Maybe after I return, I can refocus on cyclocross, and some of the non bicycle parts of my life. Because all of it can be better.
2014 Cycling Goals: MTB, CX, Dirt Road Races
OK, OK. It's goal setting time. It's not that I haven't been thinking about it, but over the years I've learned to become more flexible in goal setting (it's true! I've lightened up a bit!). That said, I have so much I want to accomplish. I think it's reasonable to break out the year into chunks to better manage all the things I want to do.
Chunk #1- Januaryish to Marchish
Ride 3x a week
Run 2x a week
A good portion of my riding will have to be on the trainer. We have about a foot of cold white snow out there right now and a new weather term to discuss at the water cooler, Polar Vortex.
Events planned: None.
Chunk #2 Aprilish to Juneish
Ride 4+x a week
Run 1-2 a week
As much mountain biking as I can do (depending upon trail conditions)
Ramping up road mileage.
At least 1 CX ride (dirt roads, light trails) per week.
Events planned: Fat Tire Classic in Farmington, CT April 20, 2014 (tentative) MTB Race, Cat 3 40+ Masters
Kingdom CX in Victory, VT May 3, 2014 MTB/CX Race, 25 miles
Root 66 Domnarski Farm MTB Race in Ware, MA June 1, 2014 MTB Race, Cat 3 40+ Masters
Chunk #3 July to August
Ride 5+x a week–Base miles, big miles.
Cross skills practice 1x a week.
Intervals 1-2x a week.
Events planned: VT Overland Gran Prix in Woodstock, VT August 24, 2014 CX/Dirt Road Race, 53 miles
Monson Cyclocross Race in Monson, MA (alternative event to VT Overland) CX Race
Blunt Park Cyclocross Race in Springfield, MA (alternative event to VT Overland) CX Race
Chunk #4 September-December
Ride 4x week–cyclocross season. Hard weekends–racing or training. Hard Wednesdays.
Cross skills 2-3x week.
Intervals 1x week (Wednesdays)
Running if I feel ambitious.
Events planned: Ooff. 10+ Cyclocross Races! Which ones? Nothing is officially scheduled yet, but here's a partial list of races I'd like to compete in 2014.
Quad CX in Maynard, MA
The Night Weasels Cometh in Shrewsbury, MA
Gloucester Gran Prix in Gloucester, MA
Providence Cyclocross Festival in Providence, RI
Cycle-Smart International Cyclocross in Northampton, MA
Orchard CX in Hampton, NH
Sterling CX in Sterling, MA
Cheshire CX in Cheshire, CT
DAS Beaver CX in Dayville, CT
I'd like to compete in some smaller CX races, if possible. I do love the bigger races, the Gloucesters the Northamptons, the Providences….but they kill my points and I need some smaller races to even me out. Plus I feel like it's easier to meet people at the smaller grassroots races.
My biggest goal for my 2014 Cyclocross Season is a top 50% finish. I know I'm capable of this and I need to set my sights on being fast and strong. I have a healthy season of larger race-oriented events (although I see these less as races than as events to build my strength and experience).
I have been told that the sophomore season of any sport is the hardest. Hardest, with the most growth. The 3rd year is supposed, supposed to be the year where that growth is realized. Time will tell, but I'm looking forward to a terrific 2014.
New toy: Garmin heart rate monitor
Like most cyclists, I am a self-confessed data junkie. Because I love data, analysis, and retooling performance to achieve better numbers, I had resisted plunging all the way down the rabbit hole by getting a heart rate monitor. But after last season's cross racing experiment, I decided–I'm in. Let's do this, the right way. With data and stats and some real training. So I asked Santa, and Santa delivered.
My new HR Monitor is a Garmin and works with my Garmin Edge 500. I tested it out on my "high intensity day" yesterday and here was the result, as provided by my Garmin data and Strava:
I've started playing with the Miller Formula to learn where I should be. I am quickly learning that a lot of this is subjective, and not everyone is the same. According to the formula, my maximum heart rate is 181. But clearly my numbers are actually higher. These numbers are appropriate because it was a high intensity training ride, and designed to make my performance faster. But I should be hanging out in 130-150 zone to build endurance.
Heart Rate Zones for Exercising Chart:
* Healthy Heart Zone (Warm up) = 50 – 60% of maximum heart rate:
* Fitness Zone (Fat Burning) = 60 – 70% of maximum heart rate
* Aerobic Zone (Endurance Training) = 70 – 80% of maximum heart rate
* Anaerobic Zone (Performance Training) = 80 – 90% of maximum heart rate
* Red Line (Maximum Effort) = 90 – 100% of maximum heart rate
More to come on this as I learn more about training within heart rate zones. The reading I've done so far indicate that mixing things up will make me strong, fast and with enough endurance to last.
Is that a wrap? Not quite yet.
I've been absent a bit. Sorry about that, I was off trying to get my groove back.
I didn't do that last race of the season and I struggled with the decision right up until a a day after it was over. I wasn't going to be happy either way. I probably should have done it, but meh–I didn't. My year's recap is still pretty freaking good.
I had been needing a break and resisting taking one. That said I managed to back off on my rides, started playing hoop again Saturday mornings, and started running a bit and hiking. When I cycle, 90% of my rides have been on the mountain bike. Low mileage, high fun riding. Making the transition to less riding and more resting, peppered with alternative exercise has been a bit uncomfortable. However, my legs finally feel fully recovered. I'm having a lot of fun exploring a network of mountain bike trails that is close by and I haven't fully explored due to my focus on mileage and CX training.
I plan to approach 2013 with some seriousness in training. I plan to race again next fall, and I'm looking at building a credible base and at last some speed. I plan to upgrade my Strava membership, purchase a US Cycling License, and dive headfirst into heart rate, suffer scores, and watt analysis. I have about 5-7 pounds to lose, but I'm giving myself until September to do that :)
I'll chronicle more tangible goals and events after Christmas. But for the last few days of 2012, I'm going to keep riding the mountain bike, increase my running distance and frequency, and enjoying my women's pickup games, which have really taken off this year (I'm actually playing guard for the first time in my life, since 50% of the women showing up are 5'11" – 6'1″ -I am 5'8″ in shoes).
Road to Improvement
I took 2 whole days off the bike after Northampton's CSIcx race weekend. It's amazing how 45 minutes of racing can leave you destroyed. Two days in a row, I tapped out, needing the break.
When I entered that race weekend, I thought that this might be how I end the chapter of this freshmen effort in the sport of cyclocross. But I was selling my new addiction short.
I registered for a small race in Connecticut for next weekend. Last year only 10 women raced in total. They have a breakout category for just Cat 4 women this year, which may mean they are expecting a larger turnout. At any rate, I'll be racing with the Cat 1-4, but scored as a Cat 4. I'm interested to see how that looks. I was really pleased with my results at Northampton. I felt I made very solid efforts and my placement–while nothing to write home about–had improved from a similar race (Providence). In Providence, I was 63rd, in Northampton, 52 and 55th. And while I realize it's not an identical crowd, identical course, identical conditions or identical size field. It is similar enough in all those regards that I feel a 11 placement improvement is well, an improvement.
Other things I have noticed in this pursuit: I started playing women's pickup hoops again this year. Last year, my lungs burned and I poured sweat, red in the face and gasping trying to run a full court game for 90 minutes. This year, I was up and down that court faster than ever, and I didn't feel fatigued at all. I was also sinking a few baskets this time, which was a nice switch.
To top it off, yesterday I went back to the 'cross practice course that I am so lucky to have access to. There is one other woman on Strava who has indexed this course in her workouts. I've never met her but she is a friend of Heather's and she races 'cross and mountain bikes and does pretty well–considerably better than me. When I first started doing laps at Ed's farm I was a good 2 minutes off her time. After yesterday, I have reduced it to 30 seconds. And I know she has been going back there and improved upon her personal best as well. It's a stretch to think I could close down that gap entirely, but I wasn't going full throttle yesterday, just keeping it a consistent effort and working on being efficient–so I know there is still time to carve off.
Not making mistakes on the course carves time. Getting faster and stronger carves time. Building endurance carves time. Knowing your bicycle well enough that it is starts to become an extension of you carves time. Skills work carves time. Staying healthy carves time. Staying lean and light carves time. I am starting to see the moving parts, the art of improvement, the finer points of chance and luck and very hard work.
Cheshire CX (that small race in CT) is next weekend and I will finish toward the end of the pack. I will score higher points because it's a smaller race. That will help me get a better starting position for another race. Which will also carve time.
Cyclocross races might only be 40 or 45 minutes long, but the game is a long one. The effort that you put in day after day, each race is another stepping stone, each barrier, each muddy turn–each of these things are small factors that go into the larger result. But what supersedes all of these things is the biggest, most important point of cyclocross. It's just really, really fun. It's really hard, really intense and incredibly fun. It does not matter where you place, it matters that you are out there, shivering in the cold and mud and under modified sunlight pushing yourself and your bike as hard as possible. This is an optimal medium for self discovery, and the person you race hardest against is yourself.

The Psychology of BeautyThe Floating Press 1905; US$ 5.99

Photomosaics with Metapixel
If you're looking for more than a convention tile design, try Metapixel, a free tool that creates attractive photomosaics from a collection of digital images.
You may be familiar with large-scale posters that use smaller photos to create a complete image [1]. This type of image is called a photomosaic. A photomosaic uses small photos in the way that a conventional graphic image uses pixels. You need to view the photomosaic image from a distance to see the overall effect.
Of course you could put a photomosaic together manually, but the process would be extremely difficult and time consuming. Linux users can now turn to a simple command line program to take care of this chore. Metapixel [2] by Mark Probst evaluates a collection of digital images and takes care of the photo montage.

There was a familiar face at the Wizards early draft workout session on Tuesday. We're not talking about team president Ernie Grunfeld, who oversaw the proceedings from a perch above the Verizon Center practice court, or coach Randy Wittman. Not even Otto Porter and Glen Rice Jr. The rising second-year wings were in the building for their own kind of workout ahead of next month's Las Vegas Summer League.
We are talking about LaQuinton Ross, a small forward product from Ohio State making his second stop in Chinatown in as many weeks. The 6-foot-7 junior showed his wares for several other teams, but nobody else asked for an encore. Ross finished a visit with the Dallas Mavericks when his agent said the Wizards wanted another look.
"I don't think it means anything bad. I definitely think it's a good sign, especially they call you back twice," Ross said following the first of Washington's two workout sessions on Tuesday. "I mean, what other reason would they have for calling you back again?
Good question and one easily answerable. Washington owns the 46th overall pick in Thursday's NBA Draft. DraftExpress.com ranks Ross as the 50th overall prospect in the 2014 class. After a breakout performance as a sophomore during the 2013 NCAA Tournament, he averaged 15.2 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Buckeyes last season.
Baylor forward Cory Jefferson is the only other player the Wizards brought back for a second meeting.
Stanford forward Dwight Powell and Arizona State point guard Jahii Carson, also projected as second round selections, were among five prospects on the court with Ross.
Even though he went through essentially the same full-court process in Washington on June 11, Ross said, "This was one of my tougher workouts. The coach likes to get up and down, their style of play."
Even though he knew what to expect, Ross knew enough not to alter his style.
"I don't think I changed anything. I shot the ball like I did last time, shot the pretty well. Just stick to my game. I think that's what they want to see. They know what you're capable of doing. They've seen you all year. They want to see how good you are at playing your game, not coming and trying to change anything or do anything that you're not capable of doing."
What he's capable of doing is shooting from distance. Ross studied the Wizards enough to know that's a good trait for those trying to crack Wittman's rotation.
"I tried to do that with every team, thinking how would I play with this team, where would I fit in," said Ross, who sports a 7-foot-1 wingspan. "Definitely here it would be outside shooting. The guys like to shoot the 3 here."
Ross is also familiar with Washington's leading man. "I've [known] John Wall for a long time," he said, adding the two almost played together at Word of God Christian Academy, Wall's final prep stop.
Whether the duo will join forces in Washington could be determined on Thursday. Ross is done with his pre-draft workouts. The Wizards don't truly need another small forward, but talent is talent. No matter what happens, no other team will have asked him back more than once.
"I'm not going to take it for anything," Ross said. "I'm still going to be sitting [at home] waiting patiently on draft night."

Why Should You Buy Super Bowl XLIX Tickets?
Super Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium
Seattle Seahawks Road to Super Bowl XLIX
New England Patriots Road to Super Bowl XLIX
Every year begins with a murmur of Super bowl and the excitement ebbs away at the end of year only to revive with the beginning of the next. In simple words, Super bowl fever never dies; it keeps rising and falling admittedly, making the fans a perpetual patient. Super bowl is endemic, it has engulfed and plagued the entire US since its time of onset and fortunately or unfortunately there is no vaccine formulated against it yet. The immunity gives in and everyone is affected; young and old.
Super Bowl is a championship game held annually between the two best teams of American Football League and National Football league. It starts with the end of the NFL season that decides the two best teams after an exciting series of nerve-wrecking duals. Each game is denoted by a Roman numeral and refers back to the year in which the championship started i.e. 1967. In other words, Super bowl has its own counting and its own ABC, its own norms and its own ethos! Super bowl was founded as a result of a merger between NFL and AFL and it was decided in the start to name the game as The Big One. Very few people know that the name of the game was jokingly coined by one of the AFL founders - Lamar Hunt. The name that was chosen to be a stop-gag for the time being had a magical effect and within no time its fame rose and the game itself became giant devouring little elves - college football leagues.
All the sweet words of praise, or let us say description of Super bowl is dwarfed by the monstrosity of the game itself. For starters, it is the most popular and highest level of professional American football. It enjoys huge viewership and the whole country stops (breath-held) to hail the game of the champions. When it is the Super bowl season, everything is supposed to have a tinge and taste of it. The day begins with a mention of it on dining table, the papers headline the sporting events and the food oozes the Super-bowl aroma - there is no escaping it. If you are an American, you have to be a Super bowl fan, period! And if you do not know what Super bowl is, your nationality (or let us say patriotism while we are at it) is in doubt, sir!
Understandably enough, the fame of Super bowl led to its mixing with an assortment of delectable items. It is a hodge-podge of exciting football games, competing and expensive advertisement, commercials and pageantry. With its pre-game concert shows, half-time activities and a variety of events starting with and accompanying the matches, it is a big magnet that pulls hordes of people from all over the US every year. Due to its high, no wait, highest viewership, especial commercials are fashioned and broadcast which add an eerie thrill to the beauty of the game. We need not add the obvious here that the Super bowl day is a national holiday; it is the time where everyone is tucked snugly in their sofas with their eyes glued to the TV. Interesting to even read, right? Better than reading or watching on TV is to be in the stadium shouting at the top of your lungs along with your friends. You friends, in this case, are Super Bowl Tickets; shake hands!
The NFL playoff brackets are all set and it's time for the exceptionally talented teams to contend for the Super Bowl glory. This year the championship is all the more exciting because there are not only one but several runaway favorite teams that have the most probability to win. When it comes to talent and professional play, the contenders for Super Bowl 2015 are at par with each other. Super Bowl 2015 tickets are high on sale since the date of the championship was announced and till now the game is close to being a sold out event.
The excitement for Super Bowl XLIX was on sky high especially among the citizens of Glendale. As far as the host venue is concerned, this was the second time when it opened its gates for the NFL finale. If you are a football fanatic then grab your Super Bowl 2015 tickets today.
Super Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale
This year's Super Bowl, Super Bowl XLIX, will be held in Glendale, Arizona at the University of Phoenix Stadium. One of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the country, the venue has a retractable roof and a roll in natural grass feature, making it an icon for Glendale and Arizona. This will be the second time that the stadium will host the Super Bowl, having hosted it in 2008 before. At the time, the New York Giants staged one of the biggest upsets in NFL history by defeating the heavily favored New England Patriots.
Like always, this year's Super Bowl will be a complete entertainment package. The famous pop diva Katy Perry will be rocking the stage during the halftime show. So be there to enjoy it all live!
Road to Super Bowl XLIX- Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks went head to head against the formidable, Green Bay Packers in an exciting NFC Championship Game at the CenturyLink Field. It turned out to be a pulsating encounter as the Seahawks managed to turn around a 16 points halftime deficit to a 22-28 win in the end. Their comeback from a sixteen point handicap set a new championship game record. The current NFL champions will now take on the New England Patriots, who routed the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship Game, in Super Bowl XLIX.
The Seahawks started the season under immense pressure as the holders of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Their form was a little erratic throughout but they still ended the regular season with eleven wins and five losses. They took on the Carolina Panthers in the divisional round and ended up winning 31-17 to earn the right to face the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.
The Seahawks might not have set the league on fire this season but they have shown the heart and desire of champions. The way they fought back from the brink against the Packers is a perfect illustration of their mindset.
The Seahawks is a team that doesn't know when it is beaten. Their one for all and all for one mentality has won them one Super Bowl and no one will be surprised if it clinches them their second one as well.
Road to Super Bowl XLIX-New England Patriots
The New England Patriots faced off against two time Super Bowl champions, the Indianapolis Colts, in what promised to be a thrilling AFC Championship Game. However, the Pats dominated the encounter from the start to finish and recorded a resounding 45-7 victory over their conference rivals. With the Seattle Seahawks beating the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game, the New England Patriots will now square-off against the current champions in Super Bowl XLIX.
The Patriots did not make the best of starts to their season and went through some erratic performances before they finally hit their stride. They lost their very first game of the season against the Miami Dolphins but followed that up with two consecutive wins before losing the fourth game as well. That prompted some changes in tactics and that led to a seven game unbeaten run that ended when they lost to the Packers, the same side that the Seahawks beat to advance to the Super Bowl.
The Patriots eventually finished the season with twelve wins and four losses, posting one of the best records in the NFL and made it to the playoffs to face the Baltimore Ravens. They managed to beat the Ravens 35-31 in a very close game to advance to the conference championship and eventually to Super Bowl XLIX.
The Patriots have been one of the most consistent teams in the league over the last decade but have failed to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy since their last triumph in 2004. With their star quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick getting closer to retirement, this might be their best chance to win the big prize before they head off into the sunset.

Bad Behaving Morrissey Joins Mamet's Plow
Editorial Staff • West End • 29 May 2000
The production - at the time starring Mark Strong, Kimberly Williams and playwright Patrick Marber in his stage acting debut - played at the New Ambassadors for a month earlier this year. It re-opens at the Duke of York's on 29 June with the new cast, featuring Morrissey, Nathaniel Parker and Gina Bellman.
Speed the Plow focuses on ambitious Hollywood producer Bobby and his decision, brought about by his seduction by a sexy temp, to film a novel about a nuclear catastrophe and the end of the world rather than the star-laden, sure-fire hit brought to him by his grovelling sidekick.
Though Morrissey is best known as the hard-drinking, dim-witted Tony in the Men Behaving Badly TV sitcom, he's no stranger to the stage. He starred alongside Stephanie Cole in the 1994 West End production of A Passionate Woman. Nathaniel Parker's stage credits include 50 Revolutions (Whitehall) while Gina Bellman starred in the National's production last year of Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick.
The original Broadway production of Speed the Plow starred Madonna while the British premiere was mounted by the National in 1989. This production was the first major London revival. It toured to Oxford, Richmond and Brighton before playing, to good reviews, at the New Ambassadors in March and April.
Speed-the-Plow is directed by Peter Gill, with design by John Gunter, lighting by Andy Phillips and musical composition by Terry Davies.

Picture: Jennifer Lopez steps out of Claridges Hotel in a figure hugging white dress London, England - 13.06.11
Jennifer Lopez has given her first interview since announcing her separation from husband Marc Anthony after five years of marriage. The pop and R&B star spoke candidly about her failed relationship for Vanity Fair's September issue.
Somewhat surprisingly, Lopez claimed she and Anthony still "work great together", saying, "Together we could make magic - and we did. He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children". Describing marriage as her "biggest dream", the singer refused to rule out future relationships, saying, "Sometimes it doesn't work - and that's sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love. It's still my biggest dream. I am positive - determined to move forward with my life." One slice of good news for Lopez concerns her future on reality signing show American Idol - she has reportedly agreed a contract to return to the Fox series worth an estimated $20 million. The singer has been stalling on negotiations for several months, possibly to focus on her own solo career.
When pushed on the specifics of her breakup from Marc Anthony, Lopez explained, "..if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now".

Celebrity Style: Ali Larter
All I can say is: Ali Larter is a bona fide hottie - and doesn't she know it! Only a girl with confidence can wear such a provocative dress with ease (and some pretty nipple control!). While I have no complaints about this look - from the tousled hair and vixen red lips to the criss-cross platforms - the dress is no doubt risque. I have found a similar dress that is a bit more down-to-earth. In the meantime, feast your eyes on this femme fatale.

2011 was the rare and beautiful year that was so packed with surprising and innovative films, it was seriously difficult to boil it down to just ten. It was a particularly fruitful year on the domestic front; beside the American films both independent (The Future, Take Shelter) and big-budget mainstream (The Tree of Life) included on my list, there were also just-barely-weeded-out gems like the hysterical Bridesmaids, left out only because I wanted more, more, more of the ensemble cast; the haunting film that introduced us to Elizabeth Olsen, Martha Marcy May Marlene, and the low-key but stunning Cold Weather, both of which are highly deserving of honorable mentions.
Easily the most thought-provoking, playful, and downright ballsy film of the year, the largely overlooked Argentinean film doesn't just create a compelling story, it questions the very nature of what a story is and how it can be told. The three narratives (which include elements as deep and wide as spies, architects, mysteries, criminals, shut-ins, wild animals, loneliness, urban planning, and so much more) that make up the film are never merged or tied up into some neat little package, just woven into a dazzling enigma you'll never quite solve.
A documentary linking the clear night sky over Chile's Atacama desert, renowned among astronomers the world over, with the women who comb the sand below for remains of loved ones abducted during Pinochet's regime sounds like it could be an insufferable stretch. But Guzmán sparks an eye-opening, moving recognition of our infinitesimal yet significant place in the universe, that every particle of man or star is equally humble and wondrous.
Typically for the work of Weerasathekul, the astounding filmmaker who melds mythology, modernity and magic with seeming ease, this is a difficult film to describe. It is ostensibly about a family gathering at the home of dying Uncle Boonmee, but that is really just the starting point for a meditation on life and death, spirituality and the bonds of love. Weerasathekul crafts a world of earthly feeling out of dream logic, an experience so uncanny that the presence of ghosts, ancestral memory and fantastical beasts requires little suspension of disbelief.
Although this film has been popping up on end-of-year lists the last couple of weeks, it was shockingly overlooked during its run. Nichols has created a work that is part apocalyptic horror and psychological thriller, but in the entirely unexpected register of a subdued, finely drawn domestic drama. The images are purposeful and haunting, the characters raw and real, and the various turns taken in the final act of the film left me emotionally electrified.
Sometimes a film is so overwhelmingly poignant, so jaw-droppingly ambitious, that its flaws fade in the face of its overall achievement. Malick's scope here is the entirety of space and time, yet he approaches it through the incredibly intimate, semi-autobiographical story of a troubled family in 1950s suburban Texas. From milky cosmos to childhood car trips, the film is shot and edited in a fearlessly impressionistic style that penetratingly evokes the human processes of feeling, experience and memory.
If The Tree of Life is beautiful because it is messily bold, this film (which I have privately dubbed Le Quattro Formaggi) is the opposite, a deliberate little gem, lovely in its compact perfection. The depiction of life in a Calabrian village manages to be both profound and banal, touching and humorous, and all the more remarkable given it is nearly wordless. Furthermore, the canine performance in this film would give the adorable but overrated pup from The Artist a run for his doggy bones, and the lead goat (pictured) is quite a charmer too.
Haroun's film examined the emasculation of a former Olympic swimmer turned pool attendant in Chad, by war, by age and by the haunting mistakes of his past. When this film won the Cannes Jury Prize in 2010, the Chadian government invested a million dollars in building a movie theater that could screen it at home, the first theater in the war-torn country in over thirty years. That is how universal the film is in its heartbreaking themes, yet how specifically and unflinchingly evocative it is of its native country.
I've seen movie beasties of all stripes, spots and sizes, so when the hysterically dry entrance of the troll in this film made me shout "holy shit" in a packed theater, I knew it was something special. Equal parts monster movie, oddball Western, paean to the stunning landscape of Norway and hilarious bureaucratic spoof, Trollhunter is both thought provoking and exceedingly enjoyable, a unique approach to a genre trope further distinguished by the fact that it is steeped in its native Scandinavian culture.
July's second film about a couple on the brink -- of quarter-life crisis and a breakup --deserves every criticism it has received; it is precious, twee and irritatingly self-conscious. It is also funny, courageous, painful and true. After a second viewing I realized its beauty lies in that tension between annoyingly awkward and fearlessly surreal. Also, kudos to July for spotting a star in Hamish Linklater, whose last notable gig was on the sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine.
Forget what everyone is saying about Hugo, or even Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Wim Wenders' stunning tribute to late, great German choreographer Pina Bausch is the best use of 3D technology in 2011. Wenders interviews members of Bausch's former troupe, has them perform her avant-garde yet incredibly accessible pieces everywhere from a conventional stage setting to a public bus, a city street or hurtling around the edge of a cliff. Most impressively, this film treats dance as if it were a cinematic medium, playing with the boundaries between the two art forms.

Chevrolet Blazer
I have a 1994 chevy s-10 blazer, 4.3L vortec v-6, 152726 miles. I just bought the truck 3 days ago and it ran fine. The next day it started to idle a little low and lope during idle. Also when you mashed the brake it would idle up for a second or two then lope again. To get it to crank you would either have to just hold it over or pat the gas a couple of times. When driving at normal speeds it would run fine. But when you stopped at a light or stop sign it would lope and try to go dead (sometimes it would die). Today I replaced the plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor button. Nothing changed. My friend at the parts store said it could possibly be the catalytic converter, the idle/air control valve, or the throttle position sensor. He told me to pull the idle/air control valve and clean it with carb cleaner to remove the deposits from it and that might work. Did nothing at first but then kinda smoothed out a little but still idles a little low but not near as bad. Could it be the cat converter (hate those darn things) or one of the sensors my friend metioned. Also will my blazer run ok without the cat converter?
January 21, 2007.

Leave the cat alone and if it is the problem, I will never recommend replacing it.
Now, look at the coolant level of the vehicle. Make sure it is topped off, does not leak and that there is NO air in the system. Use a bleeder and purge the air out of the system.

ARDMORE, PA. — The affection was genuine. Even better was beating Jack Nicklaus in a playoff. So when Lee Trevino got his hands on that U.S. Open trophy in 1971, the guy who never lacked for one-liners gushed, "I love Merion, and I don't even know her last name."
For this generation of stars, Merion is more like a blind date.
No other course with four U.S. Opens had to wait such a long time — 32 years — for another chance to test the world's best players. Even with Tiger Woods back to No. 1 and winning at a ridiculous rate, so much of the talk at this major championship has been about Merion.
For years, it was considered too small to handle such a big tournament and the big hitters with their modern equipment. And with soft greens from more than 6 inches of rain in the last week, the question is whether the course will yield the kind of scores rarely seen at the toughest test in golf.
On Thursday, the mystery of Merion will start to unfold.
"It's been how long, 32 years? And with all the technology since then?" Steve Stricker said Wednesday. "Someone asked me the other day about someone shooting a 62. And what I wanted to say was, 'You're crazy.' But you just don't know. ... And in a way, that's kind of cool."
Not so cool was the weather expected for the opening round.
Merion already took a beating last Friday, when more than 3 inches of rain sent water over the edges of some bunkers and left small streams on fairways and greens. More rain Monday caused the course to be closed three times.
The forecast called for increasing clouds, gusts and showers Thursday morning, with stronger storms likely to arrive around noon.
"Sure, we want it firm and fast," USGA vice president Thomas O'Toole said Wednesday. "We happen to play a sport that's played outdoors. We received significant rain over the last week, and some tell us that we'll have even more significant rain. So it's not a perfect world. It's not a perfect game. But we take what we're dealt with."
