Grand Theater Bought by Former Employee
DU QUOIN, IL — The Grand Theater will be purchased by a father and son team. The son had been an employee there in his teen years and continued to help when needed until the theater closed in August of 2005.
Work has already started on repairs and clean-up on the theater and the owners hope to reopen soon. To read the article and see a great picture of the theater, visit The Southern Illinois.

The Best Little Cinema in Britain?
Hello, Channel 5 on UK television has a weekly movie program called 'movielounge' which airs Wednesday nights at 7-15.
The show is running a feature called 'The Best Little Cinema in Britain' where viewers can nominate their favorite websites. To enter a submission, go to the movielounge website.
We want to find 'The Best little Cinema In Britain' and we need your help! It doesn't have to be a stunningly beautiful Grade One listed building – maybe you just love it because it's NOT just another Multiplex, maybe it's a bit old and tatty and strange but you saw your first film there or copped your first feel there – it doesn't matter we want to hear from you. Let us know your thoughts and we'll come armed with a camera crew to let you show off your favourite cinema to the nation.
This week Giles kicked off proceeding with his own nomination, The Everyman cinema in Hampstead North London. Open since 1933, this luxurious little cinema prides itself on its unusual seating arrangement, its love of quality cinema, good food and wine.

Hawthorne Cinema installs Christie digital projector
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA — The small three screen Hawthorne Cinemas (in the Brisbane suburb of Hawthorne) recently installed a Christie Series 2 projector in Cinema 1. The Cinema itself dates from the 1940's and was converted into a 3plex some years ago.
Cinema 1 has 510 seats and a massive 56 foot screen. The digital image looks very good on this screen. The first movie screened in digital was 'The Chronicles of Narnia' at Christmas time. On Valentines Day, 'Casanova' opened in digital.
It was quite a feat for this small independent cinema chain to invest in this technology. Further details of all of their cinemas may be found at www.cineplex.com.au.
Interesting article about repertory programming
Here is an article about the Oak Street theater in Minnesota, but the problems detailed in the article are those faced by other repertory theaters like the Brattle in Cambridge.
I'd be interested to hear others opinions about how these kinds of old theaters showing older movies can survive and even thrive in the new marketplace.
You can read the article here. Thanks.

Chicago Shubert Renovations Turn Up Lost History
CHICAGO, IL — The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that renovation work at the Shubert Theatre (now known as the LaSalle Bank Theatre) has uncovered original interior plaster decoration, as well as brass fittings that were "hidden" to prevent their removal during the World War II era.
The story includes photos and more details about the renovation of this gorgeous playhouse in Chicago's Loop.

Golf Glen Theatre Closes
NILES, IL — Village Theatres has closed the Golf Glen Theatre in Niles, IL. The final day was February 2, 2006. The Golf Glen was a typically bland early-to-mid 1980s creation. Theatres of this type, once widespread form the late 1970s to the early 1990s, fell quickly out of favor with audiences who wanted a return to some ambiance and wider screens.
Village may have feared, and rightly so, the new cinemas which Kerasotes is constructing at the nearby Golf Mill shopping center. Also, attendance was quite low at this theatre, probably because Village doesn't advertise most of its theatres in the paper (except for the Lincoln Village Theatre). Village has, however re-activated its website, www.villagetheatres.com.
Such a non-descript theatre might not warrant an entry here except for two reasons:
1) It was probably the last theatre built for Essaness Theatres prior to that chain's takeover by Plitt (which incidentally, to my knowledge, leaves only two former Essaness Theatres still showing movies in the Chicagoland Area — the Lake and the Davis).
2) It probably had more owner/operators in its 23 year span than any other. Essaness, Plitt, Cineplex-Odeon, Loews-Cineplex, and Village all operated it at one time or another.

Urgent! Help Needed to Renovate Historic Times Square Movie Theater
I am passionately and energetically pursuing my dream to renovate an historic Times Square movie theater – once called the DeMille – and convert it into an Off-Broadway/Independent Film four-theater complex.
I am looking for additional investors (I have a strong business plan, over 3 million raised already and lots of experience building theaters) and/or theater or independent film companies who would like 10 years of free rent for office space, storage space and theater use in exchange for capital upfront for the buildout fund.
Grand Theater to be Sold and Reopened
DU QUOIN, IL — The Grand Theater, which has been closed since August 24th when owner Bill Ivy had a stroke, will be sold and reopened according to this story in The Southern Illinoisan. This is one of the few independent theaters in the region as well as one of the last old-time movie theaters. The new owner, who is yet unnamed, plans to continue the theaters low-cost family friendly movies and to make improvements to the 1940s era theater.
Possible New Downtown Theaters Coming
YONKERS, NY — New movie theaters were mentioned yesterday in the Phase 1 portion of a major announced downtown renewal plan encompassing the Chicken Island city owned parking lot. Developer Louis Capelli had brought Regal into his nearby New Rochelle, NY New Roc Center project several years ago. That theater is the most successful in the Regal chain.
It will be interesting to see which chains become interested. The official press release appears in yonkerstribune.com but today's edition of thejournalnews.com makes no mention of the theaters.

Loews/AMC Merger Now Official
When you go to http://www.enjoytheshow.com now, it takes you to a combined Loews/AMC website.
The former Loews theatres, in particular the ones in Manhattan that I checked, are listed as being AMC but aren't showing up yet in the listings. This was at 9:35am Eastern time Friday 1/27/06. So it must be a matter of time until they get loaded in there. Will check back later in the day.
Any word on if signage changed at the theaters themselves?

Berlin Christmas Market
Around the end of November until the beginning of January, Berlin will leave you spoilt for choice with its Christmas markets. With over 50 in the city alone there truly is something for everyone.
The Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche Christmas market is the biggest and gets around 4 million visitors per year. Set in the backdrop of the World War II damaged memorial church you can expect to find a small village of wooden huts selling everything from Artwork, decorations and jewellery; to wines, foods, and delicious roasted almonds. The market is right by the Kurfarstendamm, filled with even more shops. The shopping won't stop until you say so!
Need somewhere to entertain the children? Try the Alexanderplatz. This market offers fair rides, a merry-go-round and a near by ice rink to entertain the little ones. Alternatively the Potsdamer Platz Christmas Market features a nearby Winter World where you can enjoy skating, and an amazing toboggan run. There may also be concerts, carousels and entertainment beautifully lit by fairy lights.
The Spandau Christmas Market is sure to leave you hearing a choir of angels. Expect up to 400 stalls on a weekend and 200 on a weekday. What better way to get into the spirit of then with a nativity scene using real live animals.
There's also Chanukkah (Hanukkah) Christmas Market at the Jewish Museum, Christmas Magic Market at Gendarmenmarkt and so much more. After a hard day's shopping there's the Berlin nightlife to enjoy. Oh what fun it is to visit Berlins Christmas Markets in 2015.

Students Say Thanks to Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff often say that Maranatha's students are one of the reasons the university is such a great place.

More than you Expect
Some might find the idea of attending a Bible college to become a doctor, lawyer, detective, or scientist to be an odd notion. They might also be skeptical of studying there to land a job in marketing, photography and video, international business, sports and recreation, or the military. Maranatha graduates are doing all those things. [Continue Reading…]

The actress, who was shocked by the decision, said there was nothing 'scandalous" about the shoot, reports the Daily Express. "When we shot that scene, both Ryan and (director) Derek (Cianfrance) said to me, 'If this bothers you when you see it in the movie, we'll take it out"," she said.
"I thought, 'I've never seen that before in a movie and I'm proud to be the first. Good on us for making that happen". As the woman in the situation that was in question, I found absolutely nothing scandalous, tawdry or disgusting about it," she added.
Film censors at the Motion Picture Association of America's Classification and Rating Administration later reversed the movie"s rating to an R after studio bosses challenged their original decision.

Golden Boy VP Sees Bright Future For Gary Russell Jr.
By Rick Reeno
Last Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, featherweight contender Gary Russell Jr. (24-1, 14KOs) suffered his first career defeat when he dropped a twelve round majority decision to the ultra-talented Vasyl Lomachenko (2-1, 1KO). They battled for the vacant WBO championship.
Although Russell held the edge in his pro experience, Lomachenko was overall the more seasoned fighter with two Olympic gold medals and an amateur record of 396-1.
Going into the fight, there were question marks regarding Russell's ability to be competitive with a high caliber opponent. Lomachenko's second fight, which took place in March of this year, came against former champion Orlando Salido - who by far eclipsed the fighters on Russell's record.
Russell, even in defeat, proved that he was capable of being competitive with a boxer who many believe could very well be the best fighter in a very loaded featherweight division.
Following the bout, Russell received high praise from Top Rank VP Carl Moretti and Top Rank matchmaker Brad Goodman.
Golden Boy Promotions Vice President Eric Gomez expects Russell to learn from the loss, evolve, and return as a better fighter.
"Russell is going to come back. He showed a lot of heart. It was a tough fight. When you fight the best, and the guys are both highly skilled, both guys win. I don't think he lost anything. I think they thought Lomachenko was going to be a little more aggressive but Lomachenko boxed, he boxed a beautiful fight. Gary kept pressuring him and coming," Gomez told BoxingScene.com.
"It's just two guys who are young, they have lot of skill and there has be a winner and a loser. But I don't think Gary lost anything. I think he showed he's capable of competing in high level fights. I think if it would have been any other featherweight, any of the other champions, I think Gary would have won. But he can into a kid who was highly skilled with a lot of experience."
"When you have two gold medals and that much amateur experience, you can throw [his pro record] out the window. There are guys out there with 30 fights who don't have the fighting quality that Lomachenko does. This guy has more experience than any of the other pros."
He just ran into one os the most talented young fighters of this generation. he'll be fine moving forward, should face some better opponents tough.Comment by 33030 on 06-25-2014
Its really hard to put power behind that speed b/c you cant completely turn your hips to get power, but damn his hand speed is amazing, and he combos was nice... He fought a better fighterComment by g-wane on 06-25-2014

Russell is a good guy, a family man, and a SOLID fighter and will learn from the loss, just like Lom did which was noticeable in their fight. His hands though are the only real concern but hopefully they will…Comment by baya on 06-25-2014

Fighting in the digital streets will commence this April in Japan.
Publisher Capcom revealed today on its community blog that Ultra Street Fighter IV is heading to Japanese arcades in the spring. The company also confirmed that the game will hit digital-download services in North America and Europe "soon after."
How soon after? Well, Capcom also assured fans that it would debut before the next EVO fighting-game championship tournament. EVO 2014 is set to begin July 11, so that means the fighting-game community can expect Ultra Street Fighter IV sometime between April and July.
"We've been working hard to ensure that this is indeed the most openly [fan-influenced] version of Street Fighter yet," Capcom community representative Peter "ComboFiend" Rosas wrote in a blog. "Just on [the Capcom Unity blog] alone, there were well over 20,000 comments that we had to go through to make sure that the most beneficial changes [to Street Fighter] made it in, while also pleasing the fans. That takes work, people."
Those changes include new mechanics like Red Focus and Ultra Combo Double, but it also includes new modes. Capcom is also adding four new characters.
The new characters are Elena, Rolento, Hugo, and Poison. Each one was most recently in Street Fighter X Tekken. While that is a modern Capcom fighting game, the publisher noted that it can't just port over those characters to Ultra Street Fighter IV because the rules of both games are so different.

A goalless draw in a relatively uneventful 220th Merseyside derby meant they could not close the gap on Everton, five points ahead in sixth place.
With two matches remaining it seems likely Brendan Rodgers' side will have to settle for seventh as nearest challenges West Brom are seven points behind with a game in hand.
That is one place better than 12 months ago, having already surpassed that points total, and they are currently 12 points adrift of Champions League qualification as opposed to the 17 in Kenny Dalglish's final campaign in charge.
But Carragher, in echoing the sentiments of captain Steven Gerrard on the eve of the derby, said finishing above Everton - their only remaining target - was not a significant factor at the end of the season.
"We've got two games to go and we can't be thinking about how Everton get on," said the 35-year-old centre-back, who will retire later this month.
"If we can finish above them then great but, as Stevie said before the game, we shouldn't be getting too concerned about whether we finish sixth or seventh.
"If it is was the difference between finishing in the top four or not then of course it would be massive.
"But whether we're sixth or seventh, it's not the end of the world."

Canadians nominated in top TV categories

Her competition includes longtime favourite Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife), Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black), Kerry Washington (Scandal) and Robin Wright (House of Cards).
TV veteran Fox's return to sitcoms in The Michael J. Fox Show landed him a nomination for best actor in a TV comedy. The Edmonton-born actor's rivals include Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Don Cheadle (House of Lies), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) and Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).
The Netflix-streamed House of Cards, high-profile Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra and the recently concluded drug drama Breaking Bad led a mixed field of television nominees.
Breaking Bad will vie for best TV drama, alongside Downton Abbey, The Good Wife, House of Cards and Masters of Sex.
Bryan Cranston's nuanced and diabolical turn as schoolteacher-turned-drug kingpin Walter White landed him a final, widely predicted nomination for best actor in a TV drama for Breaking Bad. His rivals include Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex), Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) and James Spader (The Black List).
Contenders for best comedy or musical TV series are The Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Girls, Modern Family and Parks and Recreation.
Meanwhile, familiar faces fill the category for best actress in a TV comedy or musical: Zooey Deschanel (New Girl), Lena Dunham (Girls), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep, one of her two acting nominations) and Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation).

Tampa Work Injury Attorneys
If you have suffered an injury on the job or as a result of the daily grind of your job, you may be asking the question, "What types of injuries are compensable under workers' compensation?"
If you have suffered any work-related injury, you can be confident in the lawyers of Feldman Morgado to maximize your benefits or negotiate the highest possible lump sum settlement of your case. We have represented a variety of workers, including construction workers, factory workers, truck drivers, nurses and office workers.
With six offices across Florida, we are prepared to handle claims anywhere in the state. Call us today at 800-669-0151 for a free initial consultation with an attorney who will not hesitate to fight the insurance companies for what you deserve.
Non-Compensable Injuries (Those Rejected by Insurance Carriers and Employers As Covered by Chapter 440)
Not all injuries are compensable under Chapter 440. For instance, many people will make statements such as, "My job is very stressful, and it is responsible for my heart attack." This is not a compensable injury under the workers' compensation statutes in Florida. Another example of a non-compensable injury is rocking back in your chair and falling down, causing a back or neck injury, or tripping over your own feet and landing on your wrist causing a fracture.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Contrary to what your employer or their insurance carrier may be telling you, a pre-existing condition does not make you ineligible for workers' compensation. Employers take on employees as they are, whether they have suffered past injuries or not. Insurance carriers will often deny claims and benefits citing a pre-existing condition or idiopathic condition. In reality, as long as the accident is the "major contributing cause" of the need for care and treatment according to the treating physician, then the insurance carrier must treat the injuries or conditions. Aggravations and exacerbation of pre-existing conditions are covered.
Not Sure if Your Injury Qualifies?
Contact us for a free initial consultation. We maintain offices in Tampa, Ocala , Naples, Ft. Lauderdale , Jacksonville and Miami, enabling us to fight for injured workers anywhere in Florida. For your convenience, we can arrange a meeting at your home, hospital or any public place, or the consultation can be completely handled over the telephone.

Work to Canada as a Nurse (Filipino Nurse)
0 Recent board passer in the Philippines.
I'm hoping to work in Canada... there are few stories i heard and i've read a lot of forums and articles here... here's few of my questions
1. What should I do to work in canada? (Requirements and all)
2. How can I work in Canada? (immigrant visa for nurse?)
Thankyou very much.1Dec 13, '12 by loriangel14 GuideYou need to contact the college of nurses in the province in which you want to work. They will instruct you on how to apply for a license.Basically they will assess your education and decide if you meet their requirements.Each province has their own requirements but they are all similar.Once you meet the requirements you will be given permission to write the CRNE.
I will not address the visa issue. There are others on here more knowledgeable on that subject.0Dec 13, '12 by silupgmailQuote from loriangel14Thank you loriangel14You need to contact the college of nurses in the province in which you want to work.

I will not address the visa issue. There are others on here more knowledgeable on that subject.
So you mean i have to study first there in order to work?3Dec 13, '12 by NotReady4PrimeTime, RN Senior ModeratorIt may very well mean that. It will depend on where you were educated in the Philippines, what the curriculum includes and excludes, how much clinical time you had in each subspecialty and more. There are many, many threads on this topic here already with detailed and accurate responses. Have you read them yet?
You are aware that Canada is the second-largest country in the world by landmass and that the cost of living, availability of inexpensive housing, climate and working conditions vary from province to province. Right?
Another thing you should know is that right now there is no shortage of nurses in Canada and for an IEN to become registered and emigrate, there needs to be a favourable Labour Market Opinion - meaning that there will definitely be a job for this IEN to fill once s/he is here. Which there currently isn't. There are only a limited number of visas each year for nurses and they've usually been exhausted by mid-year. Those who applied for a visa in May or June 2012 are going to be ahead of you in the queue for a visa. As well, there have been recent changes to Canadian immigration laws which may have an effect on your application.
The process for IENs to become RNs or LPNs in Canada is a long and costly one. Be prepared for it to take more than a year, and many hundreds of Canadian dollars. Be prepared to be told that your education isn't equivalent to that of a Canadian nurse, meaning you may be expected to take certain courses to meet requirements. Be prepared to come to Canada to write the CRNE, which is only written three times a year at present, and is only written inside the country. Be prepared for a lot of frustration and confusion.0Dec 13, '12 by Daisy_08, BSN, RNI think jarfrn sufiently answered, but you also can search this site for many of the similar posts. The thread right under yours "LPN or RN" might help you as well.0Dec 13, '12 by loriangel14 GuideQuote from silupgmailOur licensing bodies are called colleges. The college of nursing is who you have to apply to for a license.You don't have to go to school to get a license unless the assessment determines you are lacking in some areas.Thank you loriangel14
So you mean i have to study first there in order to work?0Dec 13, '12 by Silverdragon102, RN Adminsuggest you read CIC website as there are various ways you can get a work permit or PR for Canada0Mar 2, '15 by annak19, RNHello,
I have the same issue, I have nursing license in USA. But my working permit expired and I want to look for other options. I wish I could apply in Canada. Can someone help me to find good recruiting agency in Canada who could help me go through the process and find a job.
I would really appreciate help!!0Mar 2, '15 by Silverdragon102, RN AdminApplication for nursing can easily be done by yourself. Then check out CIC website for route to take to work and live in Canada1Mar 2, '15 by NotReady4PrimeTime, RN Senior ModeratorWhile the application process might be easily accomplished without an agency, finding work won't be easy and obtaining a work permit will probably be even more difficult given the changes to immigration that have been put in place. Having US citizenship makes it a little easier but jobs aren't easy to come by these days. Canadian nurses are moving across the country to find jobs. So be prepared for a long and frustrating process.0May 29, '15 by john2000You need a job to get into Canada. It isn't easy to get a job. Some sites with jobs for international workers include the Canada job bank, uniivaa.com, eluta.com, and kijiji.com.

Skip to comments.Exchanges in Latest Debate Highlight a New Dynamic in the Republican Field (Fred Thompson)
Posted on 01/10/2008 11:51:32 PM PST by neverdem
Fred D. Thompson tried...
But it was Mr. Thompsons performance, in which he shook off the laid-back style that has defined his candidacy, that provided...
This is a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and its future, said Mr. Thompson, who has staked his run on a strong showing in South Carolina. The primary there is Jan. 19.
On the one hand, he said, you have the Reagan revolution, you have the Reagan coalition of limited government and strong national security. And the other hand, you have the direction that Governor Huckabee would take us in. He would be a Christian leader, but he would also bring about liberal economic policies, liberal foreign policies.
Mr. Thompson then lit into Mr. Huckabee, the former Baptist preacher and Arkansas governor who won the Iowa caucus, for wanting to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay, for supporting what he called taxpayer-funded programs for illegals and for wanting to sign a law restricting smoking.
Thats not the model of the Reagan coalition, thats the model of the Democratic Party, he said.
Mr. Thompson leavened his responses with the kind of one-liners that many supporters had hoped he would use sooner.
Asked about the United States response in a confrontation with Iranian speedboats, Mr. Thompson said, I think one more step and they would have been introduced to those virgins that theyre looking forward to seeing. At another point, he offered that you can tell that the news is good coming out of Iraq because you read so little about it in The New York Times.
He also went after Mr. McCain on immigration.
I disagree with my friend John McCain on the bill that they proposed last year, Mr. Thompson said. I disagree with my friend Governor Huckabee...
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Well he put one right between elmer fudd's (huckabilly's) eyes last night. huck got knocked the **** out!
Sustainable like a nuclear reaction... try to stop one of those!
huck's a pu$$y.
Was that you that I heard screaming Yeeee Hiiiii!!!! last night when Fred planted that roundhouse on goober's chin?
How do you know? Neither do the others "in general" unless Obama is the Dem nomination.
I didn't know that. I learn something new and icky about McPain every day!
Who's left? A Bob Newhart or Gomer Pyle lookalike? A Ronco whathisname oven salesman?
I love this..."a Ronco oven salesman"...Hahahaha! What a great line!
The choices both R & D are slim, how can Fred not win?
Since I can't have Hunter (whom I truly like!) Fred's looking good! I didn't watch but sounds like he had a fantastic night!
Sure your name isn't americanaphobe? Any one of those candidates is the MSM choice for a loser needed to go up against the Dem.
Everyone but you, right?
Some of us (many in fact) have been following national politics for decades, we see things pretty clearly.
Hillary is giving us all the talking points we would need against an increasingly unlikely Obama nomination. Her win in NH can be attributed in substantial part to the realization by dem voters that Obama has zero qualifications beyond the appeal to co-eds, welfare moms and stupid White women.
Remember the Swiftees? Their work will pale in comparison to what is waiting down the road for Hillary. Every week of her run will be spent dealing with the publicity of another scandal from her past. Kerry had one issue and it derailed him. The depth and diversity of Hillary issues will keep her dancing as fast as she can. She can't handle the pressure (as we've seen the past two weeks). She will get real ugly real fast.
FDT nailed every single question with an exhibition of a multi-level understanding of each issue; and he did it with humor, grace and charm. He would clean Obama's or Clinton's clock in any one on one.
Well then, I'm sure you'll just bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye.
And as far as Fred being [our] guy, the owner of this forum has endorsed him so I guess there aren't any 'ifs' about it.
Americanofil has gone silent - had to get back to middle school classes.
However, she added, he isn't a very good actor, and occasionally the mask slips off and you see the 'real' Huckleberry underneath.
She stayed up 'till midnight watching the analysis and reruns of the debate. *VERY* rare for her to stay up that late.
She also said that Ron Paul looks like someone found him wandering at a bus stop, and he was completely underdressed for the debate.
Cheers! Full Disclosure: GO FRED!
So you prefer a RINO to a true conservative. That's tells us everything we need to know. You're in the wrong forum. You belong over at Huffington.
Fred did great tonight. What concerned me is Frank Luntz's survey group. The vast majority of them thought Fred was the clear winner yet a lot of them will still not vote for him because they say its too little too late. This tells me that Fred still has a lot of work to do to let these people know it's not too late.
Their primaries are still eight days away. I hope there's going to be another debate between now and then. Does anyone know if there is? I can't wait to see Fred debate again!!
One thing that bothers me that no one picked up on is Ron Paul's idiocy in regards to the Iranian speedboats. He said something to the effect of "Does anyone think that these little speedboats can hurt American destroyers?". Hello Ron Paul!!! Have you ever heard of the U.S.S Cole? I believe that is a destroyer and it was hit by a small craft filled with explosives. Probably a speedboat or something similar. There were 17 sailors killed and many more injured. I wish someone would have pointed that out to him. So the answer to Paul's question is yes American destroyers can be hurt by little speedboats packed with explosives. Especially if someone like you were president!!
I thought that Brit Hume had the best smackdown on Paul when he asked him who he was railing against in his mindless rants. Paul sets up a strawman and then goes on to attack him. Like all the candidates are bloodthirsty out to whack the whole world of Islam.
Sing it with me, boys and girls:
Troll, troll, troll your post
Gently down the thread
You're stuck with the Governator
What was that you said?
The last thing you'll find on this forum is anyone underestimating the depths to which the klintoon machine and dhimmicrats in general, will stoop to regain control.
Trust me, he was GRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I caught that as well, and my first reaction was a well-reasoned "B***S***"!!!!!
How can it be too late, we just got started.
Please enlightne us as to FDT's flaws, if you would be so kind.
What is it about FDT that you find un-conservative or un-likeable, or whatever criteria you are using to judge a candidates electability.
We wait in breathless anticipation for your enlightening elucidation.
"I caught that as well, and my first reaction was a well-reasoned "B***S***"!!!!!
How can it be too late, we just got started."
I agree with you, but its Fred's (and ours to a lesser extent) job to convince these people that its not too late. That it's just starting.
I believe the next Republican debate is on 1/24, so no, no more until after South Carolina.
That's not so bad though... a lot of people think he won the debates on the 5th and 6th too. Going into the SC primary largely held to be the winner of the last 3 debates doesn't sound bad to me! Fred can do it, and he'd kick Hillary/Obama's ass in the general and seriously educate the public while he was at it which we desperately need, the OP writer is an idiot :)
with a plastic wristband on his arm from the nervous hospital.
All we have from you so far is an 'Ain't so!' assertion. We're waiting for your first argument. For reference, please see: this argument definition.
Will you please add me to your Fred pinglist?
He did very well last night. Its what I've been waiting for since he announced, as I explained yesterday when you ask me about 'hectoring Fred'.
He done good.
I'm assuming you know those weren't my remarks...
'Wow, maybe Fred does want to be President.'
Thats exactly what my wife said three minutes into the debate last night. I agree.
A true idiot and should never be anywhere near the White House!
That has to be one of the most disingenuous editing jobs I've ever seen. I'm a HUGE fan of Thompson. But starting out with "Fred Thompson tried...", leaving off that the sentence was about how his campaign is (supposedly) dead... that's beyond the pale.
Fred finally makes some news by attacking, and the media covers it. I've been saying the lack of coverage is due to lack of newsworthiness. It's about time, Freddy. He needs to slam McCain and Mitt just as hard, but this is a good start for Fred. Any more debates before the SC vote?
"He needs to slam McCain and Mitt just as hard, but this is a good start for Fred."
He did slam McCain once when discussing the immigration issue and he brought up McCain's immigration bill. However, he really needs to slam Huckabee the most because they are going after the same voters in SC and these voters need to know that other than pro life, pro gun and moral family values, Huckabee does not have anything in common with them beyond these issues. Fred pointed this out succinctly last night.
It's a good start, but he needs to hammer McCain and Romney as well. Fred's in 4th place. He needs to hammer them all, just like he hammered Huckabee. I don't think he's got it in him to hammer McCain (who he supported in 2000), but he ought to. And look at the publicity it generates. He should have been doing this back in IA, and in New Hampshire. A lot of time got lost while he got defined by others.
I think Fred hit his stride last night. Everyone has had to acknowledge that he was the clear winner in last night's debate. He has momentum from this now. Iowa & New Hampshire were flukes.
Thompson & Romney need to knock McCain & Huckabee out, so they can then concentrate on taking Rudy out.
No, it's a conservative forum. Since only one conservative was invited to last night's debate... well, you do the math.
Good idea. Yes.
Don't do it again.
I'm all for reason, and maturity....but only when its my idea.
In a debate with Hillary he would wipe the floor with her. Just which of these guys do YOU think is most "electable?"
I would like to be added to the ping list.
Thank you!
BUMP for Fabulous Fred
I'd rather have a true conservative in the mold of Hunter or Thompson as the Republican standard-bearer than try to run our liberal against their liberal. Elections are about contrasts and giving the public real choices. Picking between two liberals is not a valid option. There can be no excitement generated to encourage people to get out and vote if there's not a dime's worth of difference between the candidates.
I'd rather vote for the true conservative and take my chances on the rest of the general public agreeing with me. It worked for Reagan. The parallel you're advocating would compare to the Carter/Ford election. If you have two liberals, why not vote for the Democrat one because at least they support their party platform.
Thompson bump. Thanks for the ping ND.
Giuliani vs. Democrat: by the time his past is laid out in all its glory, who can tell the difference? He cannot go after the Democrat on social policy, his is the same. He might win a few points on foreign policy, but not enough. States across the South would be in play with him as our nominee.
Romney: As much as it should not, his religion hurts him where he should be strong. He cannot take on the Democrat on much of anything with out them being able to play a sound bite showing he supported the same thing fairly recently. He has more net negatives in polling than even Hillary.
McCain: As soon as the media turns on him and his true record of opposing the tax cuts, the Gang of 14, Keating 5, and others is brought up, he would be lucky to win Alabama.
Perhaps the most salient thing that Fred advanced last night was the fact that, while the other candidates have been falling all over themselves to reform themselves, particularly on the illegal aliens issue, he hasn't changed at all.
What you see is what you get: a conservative.
McCain's assertion that he will be strong on securing our borders: $100
Mike's position that he will reduce spending: $150.00
Romney's opposition to higher taxes: $200
The rhinosaurus in the commercial for the medicine to fight rhino-virus, just after Hannity interviewed Giuliana: Priceless!
"But...its a discussion forum right? Dont you want to hear other opinions, or should we all just write laudatory comments about Fred Thompson ad infinitum?"
Certainly, so don't shut up. But do indeed think.
Thompson has about as good a chance as anyone. As do all the Dem candidates against each other, though I think they are being the most cannabalistic of the two parties.
I think that if you want to discuss, providing an explanation of what facts inform your opinion about Thompson in the general election would provide a better chance for us to discuss those facts.
We could first debate whether the facts are actually true, and then we could debate whether those facts can rationally lead to your conclusion.
Simple statements of opinion are mostly useless for a discussion, because others simply express their opinion back, and there's nothing to actually debate over.
Usually debates that start that way quickly become personal attacks, because the only thing to "debate" is whether the person giving the opinion has any credibility, and to win THAT argument you have to attack the other's credibility.
Anyway, that's my two cents, not just for you but really for everybody who posts. Provide facts, give your rational argument supporting your conclusions, and let's discuss them.
FR is a pro Reagan Coalition "machine".
And that coalition has a proven track record.
But he has!
His passionate demeanor is the welcome needed change.
We need more FRED! He lit up the whole campaign!
Coming in late here but I agree with your statement 100%!!!
Thompson/Hunter 08????????
Hey, let's get in a pissin' match about who's been here the longest!
You're merely regurgitating the MSM's talking points. And the MSM Fears The Fred!
Freddie's back!
Sounds like a classic Freddie nightmare for the Rinos last night.

There simply isn't any more work left that this plugin could do for me - it's done everything. My main issues with FoxyCart are validation (HMAC) and datafeed endpoint. FoxyShop takes care of both without me having to lift a finger. My needs are served - thank you guys!
If you're a developer looking to use FoxyCart with WordPress, this plugin will save you a lot of time. There are lots of hooks you can use for customization, and a set of template files you can modify for your own purposes. The developer has always been very helpful in answering my questions.
First of all if you are looking to integrate a FoxyCart powered e-commerce solution into WordPress, then FoxyShop is a must!
Keep in mind that FoxyCart itself is a more developer focused product, so I'm not sure either FoxyCart or FoxyShop is great for someone not technical at all.
However, if you are looking for a shopping cart you want to be able to customize a little (or a lot!), then FoxyShop can't be beat! It's super easy to customize, yet it is not super complicated and it's really easy to work with. The only thing I can't believe is that more people aren't using this yet.
Would be great if the UI could be revamped at some point but that's a minor issue, the functionality is all there!
A really useful plugin to integrate FoxyCart into a WordPress install. Out of the box (with some minor configuration), it provides most features any online shop would require.
I was required to create a custom product page template for a client, which meant I had to look into the FoxyCart docs quite a bit, however, the plugin developer was even willing to help me even though this wasn't directly related to his plugin.
We are from the old school of ecommerce (built from scratch) and now love the fast and effective FoxyShop + FoxyCart solution. FoxyShop will probably do just about everything you need for the catalog of products, but David is very responsive to your needs - especially if you help things along with a donation! Must try this.
I can't rate this plugin highly enough.
If you're looking to setup a wordpress site and then add the functionality of ecommerce or just build a full on ecommerce site with an integrated blog - this is the best solution to your dreams.
Total freedom - totally customisable - bullet proof, smooth, easy and quick checkout process.
David the foxyshop wp plugin developer and the foxycart team are both very responsive to updating the code and adding new features. They tell it as it is and you don't need to become some genius php coder to tweak and design things up the way you want.
Everything else I've looked at to easily build a unique ecommerce site has been blown away by foxyshop and foxycart.
We LOVE developing eCommerce sites with FoxyCart and the FoxyShop plugin. Shop owners love maintaining their products and orders via the WordPress admin and we as developers love that there are endless ways to customize the buying experience. FoxyShop uses custom post types which means you can make products in to almost anything and display them any way you can dream up. Shop owners can edit and create new products as easy as writing a new page or post. David Hollander goes above and beyond to support both the FoxyShop plugin and even some general FoxyCart questions. I would highly recommend using FoxyCart and FoxyShop to develop eCommerce sites. Both keep getting better and better! Thanks David for the excellent plugin and to the FoxyCart team for an excellent platform!

By Daniel Cusick
More than six months after Congress extended a vital tax break for U.S. wind energy developers, the industry is showing signs of strengthening as electric utilities and high-profile companies such as Wal-Mart, Google, Microsoft and Apple chart their growth strategies around the use of wind and other renewable energy resources.
But in measures of direct U.S. jobs and manufacturing activity, the story has been more mixed, suggesting the fallout from last year's slowdown in wind energy development left a deep scar on the nascent industry, even as the 2.3-cent-per-kilowatt-hour production tax credit gained new life.
The mixed signals are reflected in recent headlines.
Vestas Wind Systems, the world's largest wind energy manufacturer, announced recently that it would add jobs at its Pueblo, Colorado, tower manufacturing plant after cutting nearly 700 jobs from its U.S. payroll in late 2012. The Danish company operates a U.S. headquarters in Portland, Oregon, and builds nacelles, blades and towers at four manufacturing plants in Colorado.
Andrew Longeteig, a U.S.-based Vestas spokesman, said the company has seen "a much higher activity level and interest from customers for our wind turbines compared with 2012," especially for the company's newest turbine model, the V110-2.0 MW.
That activity includes a recent order for 166 turbines to be installed at a wind farm in Alberta. "These orders are keeping our U.S. factories busy, and we are ramping up at our tower factory in Pueblo, Colorado, with the hiring of at least 200 people overall this year to meet customer demand."
Short planning horizon from Congress
And in Kansas, Siemens recalled roughly 300 permanent employees who had been laid off last fall from its Hutchinson turbine manufacturing plant. A spokesman for the German multinational firm with extensive U.S. operations told the Hutchinson News he was hopeful that employment would continue to grow in the months ahead.
"It's just a matter of how much up and when," the spokesman told the newspaper. "We always react to the market activity. We're optimistic."
Yet other major firms with U.S. supply chains remain stuck in neutral or worse.
Nordex USA, the U.S. subsidiary of German manufacturer Nordex SE, announced late last month that it would cease operations at a new $40 million nacelle manufacturing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas, after the company failed to generate enough business to keep the facility open. Roughly 40 jobs will be cut at the factory later this year, after current orders are filled, and Nordex will shift production to Rostock, Germany.
The company's chief executive officer, Jürgen Zeschky, said Nordex was "reacting to the weakened demand from the U.S. market, brought on by the unpredictable extensions of the production tax credit (PTC), and the resulting low utilization rate of our U.S. assembly plant."
Liz Salerno, director of data and analysis for the American Wind Energy Association, said the industry's growth trajectory is being affected in part by the way Congress went about extending the PTC.
While most wind energy developers need an 18-month planning horizon to complete a new wind farm, Congress granted only 12 additional months of tax credits in its Jan. 1 PTC extension, which passed as part of the much larger "fiscal cliff" legislation.
Some developers will be helped by new Treasury Department guidance allowing projects to claim tax credits even after December 2013 as long as projects are at least 5 percent underway. But Salerno said many firms are still in the process of re-engaging with customers and lenders after last year's virtual lockdown on all projects not scheduled to come online before the end of 2012.
"Almost everyone has reactivated their pipeline of projects that had been halted last year," Salerno said. "But several stages have to happen first in that development process before orders start getting placed and manufacturing can get going."
Job growth will be delayed
Among the U.S.-based wind energy firms that have emerged from last year's PTC uncertainty with an aggressive development portfolio is General Electric. The firm announced in May that it had received new orders for 1 gigawatt of new wind turbine capacity, enough to power 330,000 average U.S. homes.
As with Vestas, GE attributed its 2013 success partly to the introduction of new, more advanced turbine technology. Lindsay Theile, a GE spokeswoman, said the company uses an extensive supplier base for its U.S. operations and deferred to AWEA for information on how such firms were affected by the PTC extension.
While details on the wind energy sector's overall job growth and other measures of economic activity won't be available until later this summer, Salerno said she was confident that the steep cuts in jobs that occurred in the second half of 2012 have tapered off.
In 2012, the wind energy sector employed an estimated 80,700 people, according to AWEA, up from 75,000 from the year before. Given the deep cuts made across the industry in 2012, it remains unclear how much the overall job figure will change for 2013.
While manufacturers like Vestas, Siemens and GE are likely to continue modestly expanding their operations as new orders come in, Solerno predicted that hiring in the construction and field services side of the industry will remain anemic due to the delay or cancellation of projects that would have come online in 2013.
"I think it's safe to say we're not going to build 13,000 megawatts [of new generation capacity] this year," she said.

I am using a custom post type with custom fields. One custom field contains 10 checkboxes with 10 values. I would like to display these checkboxes on the custom post query and allow the user to filter down the posts by checking the values.
What is the best method to accomplish this? The only way I can think of to filter a post by a single value is to switch to using categories. is it possible to filter posts with a dropdown menu or an array of checkboxes with the values defined in the custom field?

When I go to my blog home page, everything shows up just fine. When I go to click on an article, the page reloads, but it's still the home page, although the URL reflects that you should be seeing an article.
I cleared my cache, and everything... I posted a new test article and it shows up on the home page once I refresh, but when I click on it, it reloads only to show the homepage again.
The last change I made was activating the WP eCommerce plugin, then realized we weren't prepared for that yet, so I deactivated it.
Thoughts?! Hoping that I don't have to re-install everything! :(

Franciscan brothers and sisters, I greet you all in the name of God our Father and Jesus Christ our saviour and redeemer. Once again we embark on our Lenten journey to experience and appreciate fully, what we celebrate – our spirituality. The life St Francis and St Clare of Assisi lived serves as excellent guide for our Lenten journey in a world gone crazy in every aspect. The abandonment of their comfortable lifestyles to embrace lives of humility, simplicity and penance should continuously occupy our minds and give us increased desire to seek God's Kingdom and its righteousness. In his letter to the entire order, St Francis wrote this prayer for our Lenten journey:
"Almighty, eternal, just and merciful God, give us miserable ones the grace to do for You alone what we know You want us to do and always to desire what pleases You. Inwardly cleansed, interiorly enlightened and inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, may we be able to follow in the footprints of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and, by Your grace alone, may we make our way to You, Most High, Who live and rule in perfect Trinity and simple Unity, and are glorified God almighty, forever and ever. Amen." [Lent and Easter Wisdom from St. Francis and St. Clare by April Holdun (Edgewood, March 14, 2015)]
May we all, as we pray this prayer, that this Lenten journey from Ash Wednesday to Triduum may give us a conversion experiences in our lives that deepen the life of humility, simplicity and penance to inspire those around us that hunger and thirst for deeper spiritual relationship with God through Jesus Christ. As we journey together in the practice of meditation of the Passion of the Lord, his suffering and his death, we weary spiritual travelers may arrive at the joys of Easter with penitential experience.
Pace e Bene; Vrede en Welwillendheid; Ukuthula Noxolo
Rev. Fr. Dr. Michael Twum-Darko

Prior to his introduction at half-time, Liverpool had endured a dismal time in which they showed none of the fight or quality required in a game against their arch-rivals, as United eased into a 2-0 lead through Robin van Persie and Nemanja Vidic.
But Sturridge's goal, following in a Steven Gerrard shot which David de Gea could only parry, lifted the side and also displayed a predatory instinct the Reds have been lacking for 18 months.
"I just think this is a boy who can be a real top striker in this country and I think he will be scoring many goals for Liverpool," said Rodgers.
"You have seen from a half appearance yesterday and 55 minutes last weekend this boy is a goalscorer and what he needed was an opportunity.
"He got one goal (against United) and was unlucky with a couple of opportunities. He is going to be a terrific signing for us."
Rodgers insists he does not regret not starting with the striker, whose two appearances for the Merseysiders (totalling 100 minutes) were his first since November 17.
"I have been assessing him in training and he is coming back," he added. "If I thought he could have lasted the game I would have put him in. Sometimes you can rush them back too quickly and break them and I didn't want to do that. He is certainly getting there with his work-rate.
"We had won seven out of our last seven so the team and some of the players had been doing well and it is just the feeling you get. I felt at the start we needed to make sure we stayed solid and tight while still creating chances and once the game opened up a bit Daniel could come on and affect the game with his pace and power."

It must have been somewhere in 2004 when I listened to a single podcast every day for more than a week. Each day when commuting to work and back it was the podcast called "Capturing the Upside" by Clayton Christensen. I was so impressed by the amount of insights and knowledge shared in this podcast that I bought his first two books immediately. It was Clayton Christensen who coined the theory of Disruptive innovation. When you read Eric Ries his book on Lean Startup you can recognize this movement leverages the Disruptive Innovation theory: e.g. initial "crappy" products(mvp) enter a small part of the incumbents market and not considered/recognized a threat.

Linking apps together with App LinksJune 3rd, 2014 by
When developing apps for mobile phones you want to offer your users the best user experience. Sometimes this includes showing information outside of your app, in another app. Up until recently, there was no real good way to do this. Luckily, now there is a new initiative App Links that provides an open source and cross-platform solution for app-to-app linking. The initiative is supported by many mobile app developers, like Dropbox, Facebook, Spotify and Pinterest. In this post I will show you an example how to link between two Android applications using the open source implementation for Android Bolts. However, the same principles apply when you want to link between two iOS applications.

Exploring the world of Android :: Part 3October 8th, 2009 by
In my travels through the world of Android I faced a lot of challenges. Brave as I am, *cough* I conquered each one of them. A few of the challenges include saving activity state, asynchronous tasks, pagination, error handling, context/option menu's and even drawing custom application/tab icons in Photoshop! Some challenges I already shared with you guys, but there is one challenge in particular I would like to elaborate on this time.
The app I am currently building is getting larger every day, and so is the main Activity class! Because my main activity contains a TabHost with a bunch of tabs, it also contains references to all individual view components contained in those tabs. All kinds of listeners are registered on those components so the activity contains some inner and anonymous classes as well. So you could say that this activity now has way too much responsibility! What I was looking for, is a way to separate the main activity into multiple parts, each with its own clear responsibility.
As it turns out, you can create custom components for a single piece of functionality within an Activity. Exactly what I was looking for!

Led by Dominican right-hander Ruby De La Rosa, the Pawtucket Red Sox shut out Columbus 4-0 in front of 12,088 patrons on a Dime-a-Night at Huntington Park.
The Red Sox got on the board first with a pair of runs in the top of the second. Bryce Brentz led off the frame with a solo homer. That was later followed by an RBI single by Jeremy Hazelbaker.
Pawtucket then added two more runs in the top of the fifth. Drew Sutton laid down a sacrifice bunt which was picked up by Clippers starting pitcher Toru Murata. Murata, who had a play at third as Jackie Bradley went from second to third, threw wild to third allowing Bradley to easily score. Sutton, who advanced to second on the Murata error, later scored on Mitch Maier RBI single to make it a 4-0 affair.
Meanwhile, the Clippers had a very tough time solving Red Sox righty Ruby De La Rosa. De La Rosa struck out five in this game. He also walked five batters in 5 1/3 innings, but Columbus could not parlay any of those base runners into runs.
Columbus only tallied three hits on the night. Stranding seven base runners didn't help the cause either as they went on to be shut out for the ninth time in 2013. De La Rosa (W, 1-1) got the win for the Red Sox. Murata (L, 0-3) took the loss for the Clippers.
Pawtucket and Columbus will be back at it on Tuesday night. Right-hander Joe Martinez (2-5, 6.48) will get the start on the mound for the Clippers. Pawtucket will tap the services of lefty Chris Hernandez (3-2, 4.38). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
