Looking only for useful responses, thanks just the same. We're specifically discussing the Uptown Theater in Washington, DC. Did you watch Avatar last week in "all cinemas, new or old — or in restaurants, hotels, the Metro, outside, etc.?"
What I was hoping to hear from someone is that the management was aware that they had a rodent problem a year or two ago, but that the exterminators were called in and the problem is now under control. Or something similar…
Why not open the question to all cinemas, new or old? or restaurants, hotels, the Metro, outside, etc.
I visited a week ago for "Avatar" and as always, truly enjoyed the spectacle of seeing a movie on the huge screen with a great sound system, in such a large auditorium.
I truly love this theater, and have seen several movies there, including the 70mm re-release of Lawrence of Arabia, back in 1988. However, last time I was there (I believe it was early 2008), during one of the brighter screen moments in the film, I clearly saw a very LARGE rat crossing the aisle 10 or so rows down from where I was sitting. Since then I have not felt comfortable returning to the Uptown. Has anyone else had such an experience there? I wonder if the management knows they have a rodent problem…
sure the closest 3D Digital screen to my home is at Mazza, but I was hoping AMC could pony up the time and money to at least insatll Sony's 4K digital system on the Uptown's massive screen – the Arclight dome did (curved screen and all) for AVATAR
All right now..lets not start false rumors. AMC's website has showtimes through the 24th and as Howard has said, the Informant is the next movie to be booked. Doesn't sound like closure to me.
Read where??? The Uptown is currently showing a movie, and appears to be getting another movie "The Informant" and a quick google search reveals no such terrible news.
I read somewhere that the UPTOWN closed….Is this true?
Washington's grandest single screen theatre is gone forever???
I thought I saw them advertising in the Weekend. Given the fact that the alternatives are AMC's Georgetown and Regal's Gallery Place and their respective eeny weenie tiny screens, Washingtonians know the Uptown is the place to go for true widescreen enjoyment. I was looking at the Harry Potter advance ticket shows and they are selling 3am shows for opening day. I'm guessing someone is confident there will be demand for it assuming the midnight show sells out.
Weeks ago, AMC removed ALL their theaters from the movie clock of the Philadelphia Inquirer. They are the only chain to be gone from the movie clock.
The Uptown has not been advertising their showtimes in the Washington Post for the past several days and that has me worried. They still show their film schedule online — Transformers is showing now and the new Harry Potter film begins next week — but why are they not advertising in the Post? Their lease with AMC is about to expire. Will it be renewed? I am very concerned about this last movie palace in D.C. Any latest info about this wonderful theater would be appreciated.
My friend and I saw Angels and Demons here last Sun (5/17/09) to an almost sell out crowd. We sat in the balcony in the bleeder seats (by choice). It has been a long time since I saw a movie here sitting in the balcony…I'm guessing Who Killed Roger Rabbit? (in '70mm back in '88). The movie was still engaging and we could hear surrounds even up in the balcony. Of course, the huge screen helps. Since I had low expectations for this movie, it turned out to be a decent thriller of sorts especially with the ending twist. Now if only they had booked Star Trek here….
Movies at the Uptown look very good to me, including "The International."
Anyone know if AMC has gotten the new bulb or is the image still dim?Are they going to keep it open or what?
As I have posted earlier, I was lucky enough to work from time to time as a projectionist at The Uptown in the early 1980s. I recently posted a "newsreel" about The Uptown on YouTube. It consists of video I shot in 1990, 1991, and November 2008. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwPO7JPdKCY
I saw Frost/Nixon there over New Year's weekend, in no small part because it was playing at the Uptown. Decent crowd for a Sunday matinee, around 40 people with me in the balcony. But maybe they're still waiting for that new bulb? The image seemed a little dim to me.
AMC has renewed there lease for another year to see if they want it or not.
So what is the status with AMC? A few months ago it was said the lease was expiring and the Uptown would close. Or have they decided to stick with it?
what does that mean exactly: 'scorched lens'?
The Ironman print was screened several times before the Uptown got it. Also the lens at the Uptown has a problem which is called scorched lens. They are waiting for a New Lens and New Bulb that mite be a 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 Watt Bulb to improve the picture.AMC has order new upgrades for the Proj. booth.
unlilke the crappy print that Paramount sent of 'Iron Man' for it's engagement at the Uptown, 'Indy 4' (which I finally saw this evening) looked much better and sounded fantastic. The cigarette burn/reel changes were also not as noticeable as they were on the 'Iron Man' print I saw.
Loews and Cineplex Odeon "merged" much earlier. A quick google search indicates a 1998 antitrust agreement,so about that time. In reality, Loews tookover. Cineplex Odeon continued in print ads, but Loews operated the theater. As I wrote in the Intro, Warner was the 1st operator, and with whatever corporate changes Warner had, continued until whenever Circle tookover.
Bill C…You're correct that Cineplex Odeon operated the UPTOWN
during the 1990s. However, its current operator is AMC.
Here's a breakdown of the UPTOWN's ownership during the past thirty years.
Circle: 1979-1988
Cineplex Odeon/Circle: 1988-1989
Cineplex Odeon: 1989-2005
Loews Cineplex: 2005-2006
AMC Loews: 2006-Present
Prior to Circle, I believe RKO-Stanley Warner operated the theater.
WIZARD OF OZ definitely played the UPTOWN a few years ago. We saw it on Saturday and the line was around the block, with many, many people turned away. Great show, great use of the Uptown.
I lived in DC during most of the 1990s and as far as I know, it was a Cineplex Odeon theater during that whole time.
To address your question from a couple of weeks ago, Giles, the only film festival I can remember there during the 90s was the Warner Brothers 75th Anniversary Film Festival which ran for about a week in 1998. It included all the WB classis, with each day devoted to a different decade (more or less). Obviously 2001 wasn't a part of it, nor Lawrence of Arabia nor the Wizard of Oz, but I don't remember any other film festivals, per se.
I believe the Wizard of Oz did play there for it's 50th anniversary though. That is, it definitely played there because I saw it, and I think the occasion was the 50th anniversary of the film. At one point it closed for 6 months or so for renovations and it repoened with a showing of Vertigo. I think it was a restored version of the film and the whole evening was run by AFI. I was there for that also, and Kim Novak was there to introduce the film.
Giles…For the Uptown specifically, it needs 70mm, blow up or origination in 65mm to properly fill the screen. The 70mm print, even if a blow up, will allow more light through the aperture and also improve the image steadiness (less magnification) and overall focus (the Uptown uses deep curve corrected lenses for 70mm and effectively also has curved field lenses for 35mm 1.85. Scope is its weakest format)
65mm origination is absolutely where Hollywood should be by now…it has only been over 50-years since the current format came into being! It is significantly better than 35mm (or digital) and will allow a higher resoultion image to start from for any future generations that may surpass what we currently have. I'm quite disappointed that Steven Spielberg has not ventured into 65mm origination. Remember, 65 or 70mm won't make a bad film good but will make a good film better. I give a lot of credit to Ronny Howard and Kenneth Branagh for shooting in 65mm. Some say that Far and Away killed 65mm photography because it wasn't one of Ron Howard's best films…but what does a origination format have to do with the story or people's acceptance of that story? If it was shot in 35mm would people have liked it better? One thing is for sure…Far and Away has a better source image for any future releases than any move shot in 35mm or present day digital. In fact, George Lucas has done himself a HUGE disservice by shooting the last two Star Wars digitally because he has locked the image in turn of the Century technology that was inferior to what was available. Then again, some people may think it is better to have lesser quality versions of those movies.
As to Sony 4K…it has less light available than the current 2K DLPs. They also lack any ability to deal with the deep-curve screen without throwing away pixels. I'm sure Sony is evolving their product but the last time I did any critical evaluation of it…the color wasn't right and while static images looked pretty darn impressive…motion images seemed to smear up quite a bit. Most that look at the same source file projected on a DLP 2K and the Sony 4K seem to favor the DLP image. Resolution wise, Sony clearly has an edge. I know in a non-cinema application the Sony image outshown a DLP image but with art images rather than a movie.
Does AMC have the clout to force a 70mm print for a theatre like the Uptown? Probably…they control a sizable number of theatres and probably have more than the Uptown that could benefit from 70mm. Striking one print is a HUGE overhead…once the IN is created…subseqent prints become progressively cheaper as the cost of making the IN is absorbed over the various positives. However, would AMC make that sort of pressure or even the simple request? That is the question and it is likely a "no." They are a big chain…they tend to do things that are detrimental to projection, not improve it. Think about it…if they required high quality projection from their theatres…why would many people prefer digital cinemas over film when film has a very clear advantage over digital in just about every respect (resolution, color space, contrast)?

Driving? Texting while walking is bad too.
It is not a surprise that when you walk and text, you see a massive drop in viewing your surroundings, but did you know that when are walking and texting or talking on the phone at the same time, your speed of walking declines by a whopping 16%?
Good thing I don't text during my running races; never would have got All American Masters status in the 5k with a 16% slower pace! ;)

The Cape Fear region is home to two superb schools that offer community college programs that are sure to provide the skills that many employers are seeking.
Cape Fear Community College
Evident in the quality and quantity of its programs and services, Cape Fear Community College (CFCC), is committed to achieving world-class workforce development. Diverse academic, vocational and technical instruction targets primarily adults age 18 or older who want to acquire new skills, expand their career options or keep pace with ever-changing occupational requirements.Read more
Impacted by economic conditions in recent years, more and more people are turning to CFCC for education and job training. The college continues to grow dramatically. A combined curriculum and continuing education student population of roughly 30,000 makes CFCC one of the largest among North Carolina's 58 community colleges. In addition to its main campus in downtown Wilmington and its northern campus in northern New Hanover County, CFCC also offers a campus in Surf City in Pender County.
The implementation of an ambitious Facilities Master Plan 2007-2013 has made the college even more attractive to those who would benefit from its services; consequently, demands have also grown. The influx of students has caused serious classroom and parking concerns, leading to the necessity of leasing building space and increasing online and hybrid classes. A new 1,200 car parking deck opened in 2012 and a 250,000 square-foot classroom building opened in 2013.
Perhaps the largest indicator of growth at CFCC is the new Humanities and Fine Arts Center, which is set to open for classes and performances in fall 2015. The building will include a theatre with more than 1,500 seats, classrooms, studios and offices.
CFCC Offers Impressive Workforce Training
Considered the preeminent regional provider of workforce training, CFCC can provide employees with the skills they need, from learning a new software program to understanding how to operate specialized equipment. Read more
An integral part of this endeavor is CFCC's Center for Business, Industry, and Government that offers seminars and customized industry training for individuals and businesses. Most of these services cost businesses little or nothing at all.
Low Tuition Costs
Over 60 formal courses of study in a wide range of occupations and hundreds of job training opportunities are there for the taking for an amazingly low tuition fee. Read more
Community College In Brunswick County
A public, two-year school, Brunswick Community College (BCC), is accredited to award associate's degrees, diplomas and certificates. Some 35 formal courses of study are offered, along with a wide array of continuing education and distance learning classes.Read more
Individuals have access to more than 300 online courses through BCC's ed2go.com/brunswick program. Additionally, 14 Associate Degree programs allow students to transfer credits to a four-year college.
Located on the college's main campus, the Brunswick Interagency Program provides comprehensive education and vocational services designed for adults with developmental disabilities.
Also associated with BCC is the Brunswick Educational Transition Center which serves residents whose first language is not English. Through its New and Expanding Industry Program and its Small Business Center, BCC works closely with area business and industry to tailor skills training to their needs.

Orange-crowned Warbler by Ryser915Watch
©2011-2016 Ryser915
Relatively rare in Massachusetts, the Orange-crowned Warbler is one of our drabbest warblers. The Canadian nesting subspecies which we see during migration here, doesn't leave their breeding grounds until late September or early October. This causes them to pass through well into December, making this species one of the latest fall migrant songbirds we see. These tiny warblers prefer weedy fields and dense tangles of shrubs and vines, so they are often hard to see. This image was made on an extremely dark and cloudy morning.

1. Re: o2hbmonitor and debugfs; what is it and is there impact?Dude! May 16, 2013 12:27 PM (in response to 1009265)From what I understand, the o2hbmonitor utility monitors if the cluster is up by scanning files in the /sys/kernel/debug directory, which the kernel creates when you use the debugfs facility. If the debugfs files do not exist or configured thresholds exceed than o2hbmonitor prints a message. The files are all virtual and do not occupy any space similar to procfs and systemfs.

I had the opportunity of hosting a workshop recently titled "The New World of Tablet Computing" where the point was to display the feature sets and capabilities of four new (and market leading) tablets: the Nexus 10; the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″; the iPad 4th generation; and the Microsoft Surface RT. Market leading is deceptive. iPad leads the market by light years, and the Fire and Nexus can only be mentioned as distant competition with the Surface not even appearing on the charts if sales is used as the standard. Nevertheless, since some actual competition to the iPad now exists, I set out to compare and contrast.
At one point, in a gush of enthusiasm I think we titled the putative workshop "Fun with Tablet Computing," but as I gathered materials for the presentation I made a long comparative chart of features the quickly dispelled the idea of having fun at all. This was serious business and highly technical, unfortunately for prospective tablet buyers. As it turned out, the chart was far too technical for the audience, so let me summarize its principle findings here. Before that, however, take a look at this Microsoft video I presented to kick off the workshop. The gee whiz factor is high, but the serious point is that capacitive touch screens are going to revolutionize the information management landscape of the near future.
Amazing, huh? We have the bare beginnings of this fluid sort of information management in our hands with our phones and tablet devices, and only the greed and proprietary designs of the big four companies—Google, Amazon, Apple and (to a far lesser extent) Microsoft, can delay its general arrival.
But I digress. Without printing a lot of mind-numbing numbers here are the principle findings of my comparison chart:
The best camera combos (front and rear facing) are on the Nexus and iPad. Their specs are almost identical, with the Nexus getting the technical edge, but the picture on the iPad is better for reasons beyond specs and having to do with blacks, highlight management and color stauration. The nod goes to the iPad. The Kindle does not even have a rear facing camera, and the cameras in the Surface are notably inferior. If cameras matter, get the iPad.
Screen Resolution
The Nexus has the highest pixel density per inch, but to be honest you really can't see a difference in pictures seen on the Kindle, Nexus or iPad. They all look great, with, as indicated above, a nod to the iPad for a better defined, more saturated picture. The Surface picture is far inferior with a pixel density half that of the Nexus. Movies look great on all but the Surface.
The iPad A6X chip is lightning fast, but so is the Nexus with a Samsung Exynos 5250 assisted by a dedicated Mali T604 GPU—oops, fell into tech speak. Sorry. Both the iPad and Nexus are very fast and responsive. The Kindle lags noticably. The Surface is so different that it is hard to judge, but feels slowest of the bunch in getting basic things done. That is just a reflection of Windows RT vs. iOS and Android. It is bigger, bulkier, and doing entirely different things.
Here again it is a tie between the Nexus 10 and the iPad. Both are highly responsive and smooth. The Kindle lags and the Surface is also notably sluggish.
The speaker systems on the Kindle and Nexus are the best, with the nod going to the Nexus because its speakers are truly front facing. The Surface speakers are OK, nothing to brag about, and the iPad speaker system is downright tinny and inadequate. Audio on all four devices using the headphone jack are very good, with the Kindle sounding best in my opinion. I find myself using the built-in speakers more often than headphones, though—after all, I have an iPod for extended listening through headphones—so I have to give the nod here to the Nexus.
NFC and NFC Android Beam
The Nexus is the only one of these devices that has this technology, which sounds like a selling point, but try to find a place it is implemen6d. Unless you have lots of friends with whom you share data who also own Nexus tablets, don't worry about this one.
Wireless Projection
This is important if you are planning on using your device in the classroom to connect to a projector. The iPad wins hands down, using an Apple TV device or the Reflector airplay emulator. The Nexus is supposed to support a wireless protocol called MiraCast, but I bought a NetGear Miracast device and could not get it to connect to the Nexus. As far as I know, it is not possible to wirelessly project using the Nexus, Kindle or Surface. They all have micro-HDMI out, but cannot be used wirelessly.
Battery Life
Here again, iPad wins, with over 11 hours of video battery life. The Nexus and Kindle are in the middle, and the Surface has the poorest battery life of the group.
When you purchase one of these devices, what you are really buying into is their content infrastructure; iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and the Microsoft App Store. By far the best developed and most elegant is the Apple implementation. The others look kludgy by comparison, with the Microsoft App Store having just a bare minimum of useful or appealing apps and little else. Amazon has the edge on quantity of content, but iTunes is the best implemented and happiest user experience.
The winner is…
So let's sum up by category that might mean something to users of content. The winner is for:
- apps and games: iPad
- movies & TV: Kindle
- picture quality: iPad
- music: Nexus or Kindle
- books: Nexus or Kindle
- productivity apps: iPad or Surface (yes, Surface, only because it runs Office, sort of)
- speed: Nexus or iPad
- smooth performance: Nexus or iPad
- storage: iPad, at 128GB, but cloud storage makes this rather beside the point
- cameras: iPad
- ports: Nexus or Surface
- battery life: iPad
- price: Ah, price. There you have the quandry. At $399 the 16GB Nexus 10 is the best value, in my opinion, but because of its other virtues, infrastructure being a significant one, I still give the nod to the $499 iPad. It's worth the extra hundred, though it is hard to criticize the Nexus 10. If what matters the most to you is entertainment content, however, and you are willing to put up with less than premium performance, the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ at $299 is a really good choice. The only real excuse for the Surface is that it runs Windows on a tablet and will also run a version of Office, if that indeed is an excuse. The price is too high for what you get, in my opinion, and rapidly escalates into laptop land when you add keyboards, adapters, extra storage and warranties, which makes it awfully hard to justify. It is more a novelty than serious competition for the other three.
That's my take on the state of the market leading tablets as they exist to date.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Take a peek in nearly any makeup artists kit and you'll spy a well-loved tube of Embryolisse's cult favorite Lait-Crème Concentré. Since we're just as picky as the pros, you'd better believe we're fans too. This velvety moisturizer gives skin the ultimate silky finish, thanks to generous amounts of soothing shea butter and aloe vera. It's rich without being heavy, and can be used on all skin types. Plus, it doubles as a makeup remover, post-shave soother, and baby cream. Who says beauty isn't practical?
I'm in love with this stuff. I bought it mainly for the winter as I live in Colorado (dry, cold, wind, sun) and all sorts of things that mean you have to pamper your skin! My skin drinks this in. It leaves it smooth and so soft. I have purchased a back up because I don't want to go without this. I panicked at mid tube.5
Talk about an all-in-one cream! I really like it. My sample was a little small. I used it twice as a primer and once as a makeup remover. I'd love to use it as a post shave soother to see what that does too. May have to buy a full size to see. But I liked what a saw after just a couple uses.4

Endowed Professorships
One of the most valuable means of recruiting, retaining and rewarding exceptional faculty is through endowed chairs and professorships. Supported in large part by philanthropic gifts, endowments produce annual income that becomes a stream of perpetual support. Endowments allow faculty to invigorate research interests, refine and enhance teaching skills and build bridges to academic disciplines. The Department is humbled to acknowledge the generosity of philanthropists who have made the ultimate investment in our future by establishing professorships which will exist in perpetuity.
- Anne Scalea Professorship in Trauma
- Barbara Baur Dunlap Professorship in Surgery
- Campbell & Jeannette Plugge Professorship in Surgery
- Corinne & Joseph Schwartz Professorship in Surgery
- Honorable Francis X. Kelly Distinguished Professorship in Trauma Surgery
- John Young Professorship in Urology
- Peter Angelos Distinguished Professorship in Surgery
- Dr. Robert W. Buxton Chair, Department of Surgery
- Thomas and Marie Hales Distinguished Professorship in Surgery
- Dr. Charles Reid Edwards Professorship in Surgery
Endowed Professorships
For the University of Maryland Department of Surgery to continue its leadership role in academic and scientific circles, and to be counted among the premier institutions of medical education and research in the world, it must sustain an outstanding faculty. There is no better incentive to attract and retain the best scholars, researchers, and teachers than the endowed professorship. To learn more please read Endowed Professorships and Chairs.
The Dr. Joseph S. McLaughlin Professorship in Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
"Giving Back to Dr. Mac"
Sometimes the most modest individuals have the biggest effect on our lives. For many generations of University of Maryland medical students, residents, fellows and faculty members, Dr. Mac was enormously influential both professionally and personally. Through his superior skills as a surgeon and educator, as well as his limitless good nature, he made numerous contribution to the Department of Surgery and the School of Medicine's growth and reputation. Just a few of his numerous accomplishments directing the Thoracic Surgery Residency Program and heading the Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery for nearly 30 years. After an association with the University of Maryland School of Medicine for nearly 50 years, Dr. McLaughlin announced his retirement in December, 1999. In order to preserve his legacy, a group of colleagues and former students established the initiative to create an endowed professorship in his name. We are grateful to the hundreds of people who have already made a gift to the professorship, and welcome renewed pledges from these donors, as well new gift commitments. Today we are in sight of our $1.5 million goal with $312,000 left to raise to complete this important professorship.

"Last summer I took my cell phone to the beach,"
she says,
"and the ocean drenched it.
It hasn't worked since then."
She's messy, truly,
a dead battery,
a gauge hovering on empty.
I tell her to call the phone company,
get a back up or refund or some other nonsense.
She sighs
(her lips didn't move).
For a moment I think
she's going to push me away again,
film up like ankle-cutting sea glass.
"I can't replace it.
I'll lose the last text message
he ever sent me."
I fall quiet because I know.
Today I see the cell phone,
and silent
with no hope of ringing
ever again.
The tide takes things
if you forget where you put them.
Sometimes I think she just forgot
that she remembered him.
A year later,
and she is still
shaking away the sand.
vacation artifact. by littleblueraccoonWatch

it's a long story.
anyway, this is a different style than I usually write in. What do you think?
© 2014 littleblueraccoon
This puts me in mind of death.
Great poem (as always) though it's holding back a lot of information. I understand the part about why she's keeping the cell phone and the whole poem was just... awesome. Good job!
Nice, it confuses me; but it sounds sweet. ( the part about losing a last text)
Thanks! "Losing the last text" refers to the fact that, if the girl in the poem gets rid of her phone, she will no longer have the last message her lost love sent to her. Kind of like losing his last words. It's got a sentimental value to it, and she can't get rid of it because it's like getting rid of he, himself.
I love love love this!!! It just.. touches my heart. ;m; You did a beautiful job as usual~! And I do like this style very much. C:
I think it's a nice way to incorporate a short story.
Maybe you could do more like this until this type of
poem style becomes comfortable?
I think it's nice you wanted to branch out into a different
poem style.

Thank you! I think I need to mess with it a little more, too. Thank you for all of the favorites, by the way!
nice work
Rather a sadder one than usual, but put together well. Congratulations on another good piece.
a little loose but all the important parts. holds together. good piece.
I do like the symbolism of this narrator's friend being represented by the cell phone that no longer works. I think it's something we can all relate to, either personally or through seeing it happen to someone else: seeing them struggle to function without a person.
My only comment is that the indenting doesn't seem to be conscious. It doesn't feel necessary to me, and kind of feels like it over-complicates this more straightforward, simple poem. Like, I focus on the indenting opposed to the actual words.
Also, maybe stress the idea of replacing the phone further. And if an electronic gets water-damaged, will it still be able to turn on? If the phone is broken, how does the narrator's friend still read the last text message he sent to her?
Just food for thought!
Thank you very much! I mentioned this before, but I'm trying to add a degree of subtly to my poetry lately. I'm glad to see that my point came across. (:
Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing as far as the indenting goes. It was an experiment, so I suppose I'll see how it goes next time. I might edit the indenting, too, if it's too distracting.
Good point! Maybe after the part with the phone being cold and silent, I can add a stanza more. I'm pretty sure the phone would be wrecked, and even though the girl couldn't read the text message, the idea of getting rid of it hurt too much. I should make that more evident, you're right.
Thank you! This was really helpful!
Love this. I thought at first it was going to be symbolic.
You have an amazing skill for writing.
Absolutely sad, beautiful and nostalgic. I listened to Midna's Lament while reading.
Aw, thank you so much! ooh, is that Midna's Lament from Twilight Princess, or am I thinking of something different? The music in that game is absolutely gorgeous.
Katie I'm in love with your work
This is really good! It made me feel sad when I read and sort of understood what had happened. Good job.
Thank you! I'm really trying to make my poetry more subtle, so if you got the gist of the poem, that's awesome!
sometimes a girl will have to make sacrifices to keep her man. There will be times in which she´ll have to do, what she has to do. Sometimes a girl, must just swallow hard, and buy Optimus Prime masterpiece for her man.
It's sad but beautiful, I love it~ I like the style, too.
Love this! Great poem, and the little twist at the end is great!
I SO LOVE your poems! Reminds me of the beach already! I can picture myself...collecting seashells!
I like the new style - it certainly suits this poem
great job!
Ohhh, this was such a sweet poem! I was honestly surprised by the plot twist at the end... it felt familiar to me for some reason (I've never experienced something like that exactly, but I think I have felt that same feeling.) This was so pretty... I love this so much! 8'D

My little man is growing so fast and I'm trying so hard to read all his signals. so normally he'll eat every 2 hours almost on the dot. I alternate bf and bottle feeding and he works normally take 3-4 oz in a bottle. But as of 2 days ago he's been wanting to eat more sooner like every hour and of course would get fussy if he's not fed. I do feed him on demand but I'm scared that I'm overfeeding him especially when I give him a bottle during these random feedings. Also, he'll normally nap 3 times a day, about an hour or 2 in the morning at 8 or 9 am then his long 3 hour nap at noon then one more hour in the evening. Today he's been nonstop napping. He took his noon nap then woke up to eat then back to sleep. Is this normal? Could he be going through a growth spurt since he's wanting to eat more often and sleeping more? I don't want to wake him but now I'm worried he'll be up tonight.
Thanks I advance!

In the initial phase of this new relationship, Yokogawa has awarded Orbital a contract to supply various systems encompassing Yokogawa instruments for one of their largest clients within the petrochemical industry.

Neil Stuchbury, Orbital-UK's sales director added, "We are a growing organization, with many exciting opportunities ahead.

May 3, 2016
A former Pitt County deputy sheriff, who was convicted in January for two counts of obstruction of justice and one count of not performing duties of her office, may not be able to appeal the revocation of her law enforcement certification.
Last year Michelle Pollard's certification was revoked on grounds that she lacked the good moral character required for justice officers. The Sheriff's Education & Training Standards Commission said the former lieutenant participated in a wet T-shirt contest and smoked marijuana.
In a summary judgment, signed last week, the Office of Administrative Hearings proposed to dismiss Pollard's certification appeal based on her felony conviction. That felony conviction permanently revokes her law enforcement certification.
Pollard is serving a six to eight month sentence at the State Women's Prison in Raleigh. She will have a chance to respond to the proposed order and the Sheriff's Commission will make a final decision in the case during its June meeting.

Good - Nice place
I enjoyed my stay at Le Berger.
The staff were very helpful and forgiving of my pidgin French. The room was clean and tidy, a reasonable size and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is stylish and well appointed and would serve as well for a romantic weekend as for a business trip. THe breakfast was pleasant too. The only downside was a party or show of some sort that was quite noisy until late, which isn't great when you have to get up and work in the morning but as everything else was great I can forgive that.

Great location for visiting the centre
Nice hotel, well position to walk to the centre (10-15 min).
It has a good atmosphere and bedroom nicely decorated. The whole place keeps most of the original decoration. The area is also lively with plenty of restaurants and a vibrant African community. Metro (Porte de Namur) is on the corner and few stops from Brussels Midi Station (Eurostar terminal)

Quirky value for money option in the city centre
Don't let first impressions put you off as you approach the hotel.
It is hidden away down what looks little more than a back alley, but the experience when inside was pleasantly surprising.
We arrived mid evening and parked in the 'secure' car park just before the hotel. Service was pleasant and welcoming. Our room was compact, bijou and quirky in that it had everything you needed for a one night stay, was clean and most definitely cosy with a unique take on wallpaper decoration. The window opened on to a brick wall which you could reach out and touch which gave us a good few minutes of chuckling.
We ventured down to the bar for a drink and found it to have a great ambience. Friendly and attentive waiters serve us at our table and provided a couple of tapas style nibbles to accompany our drinks at no extra cost. The atmosphere was lively and other guests enjoying the restaurant appeared to be having a great social meal. The breakfast in the morning was comprehansive and everything you would expect of a continental option.
Would definitely use again and would recommend if you are not too precious about a spacious room with lots of extras and want an independent hotel experience in the centre of town. A bit gutted we did not get chance to sample what looked a great menu and dinner service.

Hotel Berger
This is an excellent small hotel down a bit of a back street but very convenient for my work.
The hotel is modern in an old style relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Breakfast is expensive but good quality fresh fruit ham cheeses breads. There was a problem with the internet while I was there but they were actively trying to fix the problem and hopefully it is sorted by now.

Buried Red Sox jersey to curse the Yankees? LOL
posted 4/16/2008 12:32:43 AM |
what's this?
report abuse
This has been in the news over the past few days. A construction worker's bid to curse the Yankees by planting a Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the team removed the offending shirt from it's burial spot in the ballpark. After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the remaining two feet of concrete Sunday and pulled it out. The team learned that a Sox rooting construction worker had buried the shirt from A New York Post on Friday. Part of this story is from the AP in the newspaper I just read. The Yankees plan on going after this construction worker with charges. A possible $50,000 fine against the worker.
Do you think the construction worker is getting what he deserves, or do you think it's more of the Yankees going overboard on this one worrying about a "curse" with a rival baseball team?

I think a curse is silly. I think the worker should be punished by his employers, but charges being brought up against him? That may be going a little overboard. They should have just left the shirt there.

This construction worker was making $88 an hour, most likely much more than you and I maek combined when he did this. He also has ties to the Gambino family and has had his share of run ins with the law. He lives in the Bronx and is such a Yankee hater that he did this. I say, go after him and make him pay restitution. If I did something this stupid at my job, they would have my ass! LOL

It won't hold. If the curse realy does exist first you have to prove potential harm and then you have to get past the whole religion legal defense (curses and all...religion you know) and even then its a suckers bid.
No this is just stupid. They should encourage this shit just to get the fans more rialed up. Hold contest to see which fans can do the most rediculous stunts of this order.
A jersey would not comprimise the structure...a body might...you know gas bubbles and all...so if he had burried a goat the story might be different...
Oh theres an idea, burry a pig on the grounds of the team with the most jews and muslims on staff...
One can imagine a thousand little funny curses we could do. After all...that is the nature of sports. Would you rather he had kidnapped a mascott...or just a mascott costume?
Lets be realistic in our charges people. Lest the world think us unreasonable.

On another note...these are supposed to be wanna fuck blogs...
Its in the sex catagory...so folks I have to do this.
Anyone want to perform a sex magic ritual to ward off the curse? Lets all have an orgy on the field... lets invite players and cheerleaders from the local football teams (college...highschool-only the 18 year old ones of course, pro,semi pro,ect). Lets see if we can cleanse the ground with our bodily juices.
Bet you didn't I could hijack this into a wanna fuck blog like that...

Nah, they fed him to the piggies. As my cousin Kurt said after he divorced his ex-mafia tied wife...if I disapear don't eat the sausage...man that chick was a bitch.
Probably shouldn't say that... ahh living on the edge.

The YANKEES said they MAY press criminal charges. The act was done with malicious intent so whatever happens to the guy, he's got nobody to blame but his sorry ass self. Also, the YANKEES donated the jersey along with a YANKEES jersey to the Jimmy fund to be auctioned off to help the kids ( I think it's cancer ). So at least they made a positive spin on something that was meant as nothing but a negative.

I'm a huge Red Sox fan and I think the shirt thing is funny. I'm sure Yankee fans will disagree though. Planting a shirt in the new Yankee stadium isn't going to cause a curse anymore than anything else will cause a curse. I think the worker who planted it should have to pay for any work they had to do to remove it plus a heavy fine and of course lose his job

I agree with straddle, have his employers deal with it not the team. :>)

Being from NY and a die hard Yankee hater I find it funny as shit. He did not do this with any kind of malicious intent as some of you think. In an interview he stated that it was more of a prank or a joke.
Also planting the jersey in no way weakened the concrete or put the structure in any danger. As usual the Yankee's are reacting with their usual sue happy attitude. Whenever things go wrong they sue sue sue. Let the company he works for discipline him in whatever way they see fit.
Also for the record only the jersey that was buried got donated. They Yankee's did not donate anything of their own.

Castignoli scoffed at the top Yankee honcho's ready dismissal.
"Tell Hank he can come meet me if he wants to try - and tell him to bring [catcher Jorge] Posada, because he's the one Yankee I can't stand."
How many people know this?
Posada kept going to work, essentially keeping the distressing news to himself. Even after he initially heard the diagnosis that his son had craniosynostosis. Even after he found out that Jorge IV would have to undergo serious surgery. Even after the delicate surgery last August on the then 8-month-old. Posada stayed silent and kept playing, a piece of him always focused on little Jorge.
Some good will come out of this
The shirt would be cleaned up and sent to the Jimmy Fund, a charity affiliated with Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Along with that, New York will send a Yankees Universe T-shirt, which is sold to benefit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
The money should go to into craniosynostosis research.

I think its stupid, what kind of charge are they going to put up - charged with jinxing another team? Ya OK! Just my opinion, but OMG let it go and dont charge him! Have a great day all!

Seems they sure went to a lot of time, trouble, and expense to eliminate something they don't believe in....

I saw this story on the news yesterday and had to laugh at the absurdity of it. I mean c'mon....if he really wanted to curse the Yankees....all he had to do was plant a Tigers jersey....
