An investigation by the District Attorney General's Office determined there was no wrongdoing in the death of 26-year-old Dustin Barnwell.
However, a lawsuit filed on behalf of his minor daughter alleges there was misconduct on multiple levels.
Barnwell died on Nov. 11, 2011. According to a district attorney report on the investigation, Roane County Sheriff's officers Richard Stooksbury and Mitch Grigsby responded to Barnwell's home on Roane Manor Drive on an overdose complaint.
Alcohol may be involved in a fiery two-vehicle crash on Interstate 40 in Knoxville last Friday. Five people were injured.
Witnesses told police that Oliver Butler, 64, of Rockwood, was traveling westbound on I-40 when he swerved across the median and his GMC van became airborne.
They said it landed on a Mercedes SUV, then overturned and caught fire.
Passersby who pulled Butler from the vehicle said they smelled alcohol, and officers found beer cans inside and outside the van.

While it may be true that miracles happen all the time, Kingston City Council members aren't concerned with signs from above.
They're worried about the more terrestrial versions you see every day — on the side of the road, in store windows, on big billboards, in the beds of broken-down old trucks.
And at a Nov. 6 work session, council moved to put the first reading of an ordinance amending its existing sign ordinance for a vote in the full council session this week.
My boyfriend, Derek, while patching a leak near the chimney of his home in Hamilton County, called me from his roof last Sunday.
"I just heard a steam whistle," he said. "Is today the day the train runs to Roane County?"
It was.
Chattanooga's steam engine was making a rare passenger excursion on Norfolk Southern tracks along Walden Ridge. On that day, it was set to go into Harriman, turn around and head back.
District Attorney General Russell Johnson has declined a public records request to review correspondence between his office, Roane County Attorney Tom McFarland and Roane County Property Assessor David Morgan.
"Those items are part of an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation," Johnson said. "Per TCA statute, information that is part of an ongoing TBI investigation is strictly confidential."
Johnson responded to the Roane County News' public records request by letter.
An Eastern Kentucky earthquake Saturday rattled residents in Roane County.
The 4.3-magnitude quake which started near Whitesburg, Ky., was felt in various degrees throughout East Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina and other states.
Sandra and Walter Calbaugh of Kingston both experienced the unnerving incident.
"It shook the curio cabinet and shook around pretty good," Walter said. "There was no trouble telling what it was. There was no doubt."
A registered sex offender from California was indicted by the Roane County grand jury last month.
Danny Lane King, 64, was booked into the Roane County Jail on Friday. He is charged with statutory rape by an authority figure, a Class C felony.
The alleged crime occurred in 2011. The grand jury indicted King on Oct. 15.
King, who has a Sacramento address, is scheduled to make a court appearance on Friday.
as a warm-weather sport, but most people were bundled up recently at the Emory Golf Course in Harriman at the tournament celebrating the opening of the new golf greens.
Lloyd Edwards was among many whose ties with the course extend way back.
"I started caddying back in 1942," Edwards said. "That was when I started playing."
Soon soft strains of holiday music will fill Knoxville's McGhee Tyson Airport.
Among them will be the voices of children in the Midtown Elementary School Choir, who will sing from 10:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4.
The choir, in its second year, is excited about the opportunity to play for strangers, although members have sung for residents of an assisted-living facility and more recently, for the school's Veterans' Day program.
Student Sara Gunter looks at it this way: "I like to meet new people every day."
Officials from Oak Ridge, Roane County, Anderson County and the Tennessee Department of Transportation gathered Tuesday afternoon to dedicate the completion of the final phase of Hwy. 95 widening project.
The project, which widened nearly 3 miles of two-lane highway to a four lanes, was 12 years in the planning stages but took just two years to complete once the construction phase began.
The $15 million project also included two retaining walls, two bridges and wide shoulders for bicycles.

The Senators jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the Fisher Cats with single runs in the first and second inning, but did not score again the rest of the game. The run in the first came on a two-out, solo home run by Stephen Lombardozzi, while the run in the second came on a leadoff solo shot by Michael Burgess. Lombardozzi's home run was his fourth of the season; for Burgess, it was his third. Both runs came against Kyle Drabek, who went just three innings as the New Hampshire starter.
Aaron Thompson, the starter for the Sens, threw five and a third innings and allowed two runs, with one coming in the second and one in the sixth. Luis Sanchez drove home Jonathan Jaspe with an RBI single in the second inning, and Ricardo Nanita drove in Adam Loewen from first base with a double in the sixth. Nanita's double tied the game, and Thompson exited one batter later. The winning run came two innings later, off of Sens reliever Victor Garate, on a double by Callix Crabbe. It scored Jaspe, who had walked with one out. Garate (0-1) took the loss for the Sens, while Danny Farquhar (4-3) pitched the final two innings for New Hampshire and got the win. The Sens had five hits on the ballgame, with only three players recording a hit. Burgess and Chris Marrero each had two, while Lombardozzi had one.
The loss completes a three games to one series loss for the Sens, and sends them to Binghamton for the final series of the regular season. The Sens have five games against the B-Mets from Friday through Monday, starting with a doubleheader on Friday evening that begins at 5:35 PM. Left-hander Tom Milone (11-5, 2.92) goes in game one of the doubleheader, against LHP Mark Cohoon (5-3, 4.36) of Binghamton. In game two, it's RHP Adrian Alaniz (0-0, 3.00) for the Senators; Binghamton's game two starter is as yet undetermined. Fans can hear all the action, in both games, beginning at 5:20 PM on 1460 AM The Ticket and www.senatorsbaseball.com.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I took my laptop to a computer tech who was unable to get my computer up and running. He also tried running a program to see if he could recover any of the lost files. Out of all the files on my computer, only 5 were recoverable. Diagnosis: my hard drive crashed. A 2nd tech checked it, ran several scans and then another program to see if he could recover any of the lost files...no go. Same diagnosis as the first.
He asked if I recently downloaded any software programs. When I told him I downloaded Cyber Defender a few days prior, he shook his head and explained I'm not the first person who's had problems after installing their software. He suggested I read about them on the internet.
After I was able to get back to cyberspace, I read about Cyber Defender...the only good reviews came from the company itself. I contacted Cyber Defender. When I finally was able to speak to someone who could speak English well enough for us to understand each other, I explained my dilemma. The representative told me the problem was probably caused by a virus and their product wouldn't cause my computer to crash. I told him it did crash my computer and I wanted an immediate refund. He tried to sell me another program ("at a discount"....of course). I declined and demanded an immediate refund.
We went round and round for a few minutes before I asked to speak to a supervisor. I did speak with one and explained why I wanted a refund. She was very rude and condescendingly told me that they don't give refunds for the reason I gave. I replied that I made the purchase less than 1 week ago and according to their own TOS, refunds are given if requested within 30 days of the original purchase. She offered to give me an additional year's subscription "free" (....minus the cost of the techs' help and a new hard drive) if I opted not receive a refund; this I declined. After about 10 minutes of talking to her, she grudgingly conceded and told me I would receive a refund in 7-10 business days (it took a month). It took minutes for the charge to appear on my credit card but weeks for it to be refunded?! CYBER DEFENDER IS SYNONYMOUS WITH SCAM!!!
I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Cyber Defender, being transferred around, on hold and calling back when "the phone" hung up on me just so that I could get a refund on a useless and damaging product. I wish I knew back in 2010 this site existed. I've seen the internet and TV ads for "double my speed" and "my clean pc" and thought about trying them....until I read they're the offspring of Cyber Defender. RUN...DON'T WALK AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM ANYTHING TO DO WITH CYBER DEFENDER!!!

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Comics | Could the competition to become the 2017 U.K. City of Culture hinge on … Desperate Dan, the pie-eating Wild West strongman from the long-running children's comic The Dandy? Hull Daily Mail columnist Angus Young thinks the character could give Dundee the edge over fellow finalists Leicester, Swansea Bay and, yes, Hull. Dundee, Scotland, is home to The Dandy and The Beano publisher DC Thomson, and features statues of Desperate Dan and Beano character Minnie the Minx in its city center. "Having your picture taken next to the barrel-chested grizzly-chinned hero is apparently one of the top-ten things to do when visiting Dundee," Young writes. "[…] This a bloke who thinks nothing of eating several cow pies in one sitting. A cowboy so tough he shaves his chin with a blowtorch and sleeps in a reinforced bed filled with building rubble." The winner will be announced in November. [Hull Daily Mail, The Evening Telegraph]
"Comics? Not comics? It only matters in so far as it means someone will (or won't) pick up the book and take it home."
–Geoff Grogan, co-editor of the newsprint anthology pood and creator of the multimedia comics (hey, I'll say it if he won't) Look Out!! Monsters and Fandancer, on the only definition of "comics" worth a damn. Whether it's Prince Valiant or Kramers Ergot 4, I've gotten a lot less concerned with using definitions to define a given work right out of the comics discussion. The best way I know how to put it is this: Comics is any art you can read.
Neil Cohn is a doctoral student at Tufts University who studies the way people read comics—or, according to his bio, "the relationship of the cognition guiding the comprehension of comics to the processes used in understanding language." He blogs, rather infrequently, at emaki.net, where he finds interesting bits of research about how people read and create comics and other media.
Now you can help: Neil has an experiment up right now, and anyone is invited to participate. It's basically an online survey—no wires and electrodes, no strange drugs—and only takes a few minutes to complete. So go, be a guinea pig. As an added incentive, participants have a chance to win one of two $50 Best Buy gift certificates.
Neil doesn't just study comics—he also illustrated the non-fiction comic We the People, so his creator credentials are in order. Here's a short interview with Neil at Dimes for Nickels, which gives a bit more background on his research.
(Via Scott McCloud.)
Web comics creator and manga editor Shaenon Garrity has penned a ten-point manifesto on comics at comiXology that is well worth a read. I'll summarize her ten points here for brevity, but you should really go over and read Shaenon's explanations, as she expands on every point:
1. Newspaper comics are dead: I don't think this comes as a surprise to anyone. Most of their creators are dead as well.
2. Monthly comic books are dead: Shaenon chalks this up to the deficiencies in the direct market.
3. Format is infinitely mutable: It's all comics, and people will read it in the format that suits them.
4. The audience is infinitely fragmented: When you take the wider view, lots of people are reading different types of comics, and they no longer fit the standard stereotypes. " Open the discussion to webcomics, and the audience fragments all the way down to the tip of the long tail; on the Internet, everyone is famous for fifteen people."
Scott McCloud has posted an example of an animated comic, Vincent Giard's bol, that works pretty well, along with a brief explanation of how motion comics can work:
The best way I've come up with to explain it is that looping animation (and sound, for that matter) still communicate a static span of time. If panel 2 clearly comes after panel 1 and before panel 3, it still feels like comics, even if panel 2 is a short loop of some sort.
It's a good point, and in this case, the motion gets more and then less pronounced as the comic goes along, so there is a progression to it. Scott says,
The point isn't whether or not we want to give it a particular label or not, but whether a given comic works as storytelling. Does it feel whole? Can we lose ourselves in the reality of the strip? And in this case, I'd say yes.
I agree that the animation fits the story, but looking a the comic as a whole is a bit like trying to read a comic printed on a bowl of Jell-O.
Paul Gravett looks at the influence of the British boys' comic Eagle, home of Frank Hampson's Dan Dare, which was favorite childhood reading for John Byrne, Chris Claremont, and Bryan Talbot, among others.
Casey Brienza isn't just a manga reviewer, she's a grad student studying paratext, the trappings of manga that make it manga. That's more interesting than it sounds—check out her slideshow and brief writeup of the importance of trim size to American manga, and the way it was not only standardized but was used to define non-Japanese books as manga.
Faith Erin Hicks contemplates the uses of drawing as she compares Naoki Urasawa's Pluto with Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy and throws in some thoughts on Kate Beaton for good measure.
Richard Bruton, who is not in the target audience by any means, picks up Twilight: The Graphic Novel and finds it… not terrible. Sean Kleefeld, meanwhile, finds some interesting parallels to a vintage comic (mainly, both seem to be incoherent).
Tintin dissenter Noah Berlatsky remains unmoved by The Castafiore Emerald, although his son loves it.
Chris Sims and Mike Sterling deliver their monthly beatdowns of Previews.
Kent Worcester reviews Art in Time: Unknown Comic Book Adventures, 1940-1980, which is the sort of book that would make me stay up nights.

AFI Silver Theatre
8633 Colesville Road,
Silver Spring,
19 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 311 comments
I saw 'Hateful Eight' here yesterday midday and I thought the presentation was outstanding – typical for AFI Silver in my opinion ~wow!~
Morricone's score at times was so powerful and suitably loud.
my only gripe is that Tarantino should have had some entre' act music at the beginning of the second part of the movie – it abruptly jumps back into the movie without much of a breather.
Here's a link to my full report, on experiencing "The Hateful Eight" at the AFI Silver, (http://www.in70mm.com/news/2016/silver/index.htm)
70mm has a normal ratio of 2.20. At the AFI, like most older theatres, the front-end sort of dictates how big an image you can work with. Also, don't confuse width with area. I believe that the 2.20 ratio has the largest area at the Silver. 35mm scope is wider but less tall.
JodarMovieFan, yes, I have the movie program. Email sent to everybody stated programs as long as supply lasts, so don't wait for last screenings. Well, it won't sell out during business days so they may have enough programs. AS to why 70mm scope doesn't fill the screen, that's because 2.2 aspect ratio of the classic 70 mm films rather than 2.35 regular scope. Not as wide- so using full height of the AFI screen, projected not as wide. Less wide I think so 6 track could fit on the film.
Great posts. I guess I will trek to see H8ful 8 here as opposed to my local BowTie, where it is reported the experience was not good. Still.. $20 for 70mm! At least throw in a free drink. Howard, did you get a movie program?
Steve, why is it 70mm does not fill the width of the (presumably Historic auditorium) screen? Is it the lenses? What do they use? I remember the previous owner of the Senator touting the then lenses used were some German type.. Bauer? I suspect the Bauer lenses are the best.
Not entirely accurate Giles. The AFI/Silver (in all three screens) have both side and vertical masking. Believe it or not, their normal 70mm picture (2.20:1 ratio) does NOT fill the width of the screen but does fill the height. So for the Hateful Eight and all other UP70 presentations, the screen actually DOES get wider as well as less tall to complete the 2.76:1 ratio.
The current Uptown screen tops out at 2.39:1 and hasn't gone out to the full Cinerama/UP70 ratio for a long, long time. Even if the Uptown were to run Hateful Eight, they'd likely mask it down in height rather than put in a new screen and rig it for the wider format (unfortunately, we'll never know though I agree the Uptown's front-end could have made this look pretty special…though lensing may have proven tricky with the deep curve and "modern" lenses).
While I don't know the reasoning for the pricing on this movie, I guarantee you that more $$$ is being spent on the presentation at the AFI/Silver than Gallery Place. Rumor has it (and I hope they are wrong) that Gallery Place has damaged their print already. The AFI/Silver has full-time professional projectionists. The reports of the presentation quality there isn't by accident.
The Hateful Eight was selling out the afternoon & evening screenings over the weekend. I've never seen a movie 2 days in a row & almost never see a new movie 2ce, but I attended Saturday & Sunday evenings. Unlike chain multiplexes, full use of the curtain (before, intermission and close) & proper masking was used. Sunday was even better because the curtain was closed until the start, with no slide show before using the curtain. Projection & surround were excellent. The movie was 5.1 surround. Souvenir programs were handed out. Three cheers to the AFI workers each day for the special presentations! And, as to the movie, it was awesome, including the details seen due to 70mm, the widescreen vistas, and the score.
the screens drops down vertically to facilitate the wider image (noted when I saw 'Khartoum' at the prior 70mm mini-fest) – it sadly doesn't expand horizontally as the Uptown masking does – now that screen when I saw a reissue of 'Ben-Hur' was jaw dropping.
Wow, Howard. Thanks for the post. Ultra panavision 70 sounds so h u g e. I wonder if the Silver's 40 ft screen will do it justice. I'm hoping for the best..no, I'm going to set my expectations low, so if its good, then I'll say it was great. :)
I'm going to support the AFI, but when comparing the pricing of a ticket at Regal Gallery Place it's $15 matinee / $17 night time.
Here's the text of the above 12-14-15 article-
The film premieres tonight in New York in 70mm at the Ziegfeld theater. Starting today, moviegoers can purchase tickets for the 70mm roadshow showings at tickets.thehatefuleight.com. To mark the occasion, Quentin and TWC are commemorating the opening with the "12 Days of Hateful Eight Giveaways," where each day a different Hateful Eight prize, memorabilia or once-in-a-lifetime experience will be given away to moviegoers who buy roadshow tickets in advance leading up to the Christmas day opening.
The exclusive roadshow engagement that The Hateful Eight is embarking on will replicate the special event releases that films used to receive in the early and mid-twentieth century. They screened a longer version of the film than would have been shown in wide release, including a musical overture to start the show and an intermission between acts, and moviegoers received a special souvenir program. The Hateful Eight roadshow experience will offer moviegoers all three special features. Roadshows were the gold standard for exhibiting pictures like Lawrence of Arabia, Gone With the Wind, Cleopatra, Battle of the Bulge, The Ten Commandments andBen-Hur. TWC and Tarantino's presentation of The Hateful Eight will mark the widest 70mm release that the industry has seen in over twenty years.
The film will open in 44 markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Washington DC, Houston, Detroit, Phoenix, Seattle, Tampa, Minneapolis, Denver, Miami, Cleveland, Orlando, Sacramento, St. Louis, Portland, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Baltimore, San Diego, Nashville, Kansas City, San Antonio, West Palm Beach, Birmingham, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Austin, New Orleans, Providence, Knoxville, Santa Barbara, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver. Quentin and cast members from The Hateful Eight will be touring the country making surprise appearances in select cities at 70mm roadshow showings.
Not since the 1966 film Khartoum starring Charlton Heston and Laurence Olivier has a film been shot in Ultra Panavision 70 format. In 2012, TWC distributed Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed film The Master in a similar 70mm format. Beloved by filmmakers and cinephilesfor its wide-scope and high-resolution image quality, Ultra Panavision 70mm stock captures nearly twice the landscape of the more common 35mm and digital styles. Because of its unique quality and its importance to the art of filmmaking, Quentin, TWC, and a number of other major Hollywood directors and studios have negotiated deals with Kodak to continue production of 70mm and other film formats despite their higher costs and complexity of use.
The lead cast for The Hateful Eight includes Samuel L. Jackson (Django Unchained), Kurt Russell (Escape From New York), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle), Walton Goggins ("Justified"), Demian Bichir (A Better Life), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), and Bruce Dern (Nebraska). Written and directed by Tarantino, The Hateful Eight is produced by Richard N. Gladstein, Stacey Sher and Shannon McIntosh. Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein and Georgia Kacandes are executive producing, and Coco Francini and William Paul Clark are associate producing.
I can not tell you whether or not this is accurate but this site states souvenir programs are given out, there are prizes somewhere, and cast members will in some theaters make surprise appearances. http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/640979-the-hateful-eight-roadshow-presentation-details-plus-2-new-videos#/slide/1
I just saw that, Giles. That is pushing it. Its outrageous! Now, if this were a DC exclusive, then okay. I'm pissed. Will I still see it here? Yeah. :) If they give out free souvenir programs, I'm fine with it. Something commemorative as this is a special event.
I looked at some Regal prices for the IMAX Star Wars and its $19!
did you see the tix price for 'The Hateful Eight' for all screenings – $20 (!!) "whoah"
Howard, I agree with you on the Uptown. Those are my fondest memories of 2001. I have yet to see it at the Seattle Cinerama and hopefully, will catch it there someday the next time they have a 70mm festival. Given the $ the owner has put in that venue, it has to be one jewel of a showplace.
Regarding The Hateful Eight, I should have read up more on the story. It seems it takes place in winter and not a desert Western. I'm not going to read much more as I want to keep an open mind and enjoy the 'roadshow presentation' we are to get. Can't say I've ever experienced one of those in my lifetime, up until now. I hope they have programs for sale of the movie. Now, those I remember from the 80s :)
Perhaps, when Steve reads our posts, he can shed more details on the technical aspects and other plans for this special event.
I wonder if they'll have an actual 70mm trailer.
P r e s e n t e d in:
< 7 0 mm Datastat Sound >
Yeah, yeah, my poor attempt at a widescreen trailer.
This would be a good time for the AFI to put together a featurette on 70mm. They had a simple one before.
I did see in year 2001 the 2001 movie in 70mm properly presented at Uptown as stated above & 2 years ago at Seattle Cinerama
AFI Silver website has The Hateful Eight in December- which means 70mm Ultra Panavision- same super wide aspect ratio that Khartoum was presented in a few years at AFI Silver
Seems like they've booked the Hateful 8 in 70mm DTS. It should be interesting to see a newer film in this format. But a western? A space/fantasy epic with cool visual fx would be my choice. How immersive can you get with sunrise/sunset shots, snow, dust and more dust..maybe some pore shot from one of the actors during a close up shot. :)
On the other hand, the AFI's kind of smallish 40 ft screen may not do this film justice. Something of this size would benefit from being shown at the Uptown.
I'm curious how modern audience reaction will be with intermission and proper curtain closures and entrance music. If done right and consistently so, it should be good. :) We'll see after week 3 into its release.
I take it no one went to the recent showing of '2001: A Space Odyssey' with Q&A and special guest star Keir Dullea. I saw the announcement of the special screening event on the website a few months ago and almost bought tickets. Unfortunately, I had to go out of town during the showing/visit.
YouTube has some interesting recent chats with he and co-star Gary Lockwood. Lockwood had mentioned he attended the premiere here at DC's Uptown back in '68 and an encounter with a stoner who had seen the movie.
If someone was at the recent event and would like to post something, please do. :)
I'd love to see 70mm prints of 'Dark Crystal' and 'Aliens'! Interestingly I'm very keen on seeing the DCP of 'Dark Crystal' since the screening last year at the Angelika Mosaic (which was projected bluray) didn't look or sound all that good.
I saw 'Wreck it Ralph' last week as part of it's 3D festival – it looked great and it was the first time I heard the 7.1 surround sound mix [thumbs up!]
It seems the AFI is having a final screening of the great 1980s films. Not sure what that means. Does it mean that the 90s will be the decade they consider classic now?
Even more disappointing is not one 70mm print of anything. in70mm has posted fairly recent screenings of 70mm prints of Ghostbusters, Temple of Doom, Die Hard, Dark Crystal, Aliens and Tron.
Rivest, you've done a great job posting opening ads/announcements of various theaters! Thank you. I have one of the MacArthur remodel that I intend to email CT for posting soon.
September 15th, 1938 grand opening ad in photo section.
regarding the 'Blade Runner' screenings according to the Environmental Film Festival:
1982 Domestic Cut (116 min, Blu-ray) 1991 Director's Cut (117 min, 35mm) 2007 The Final Cut (118 min, 2K DCP)
I saw Blade Runner in 1998 at the Uptown as part of Warner Bros 75th Anniv. 35mm, I believe the '91 directors cut. The movie had not impressed me on TV but it was awesome on the big screen.
Out of first run release boredom, I was perusing the AFI Silver's film calendar and have discovered they are planning to book not 1, not 2, but 3 different versions of Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner.' The original '82 release, '91 director's cut (I presume this was just sans the Ford voice over,' and final (restoration and final Scott) cut and DP release of '07. It would be even worth more of a view if either the first two were 70mm. I suspect the '82 one is pinkish by now unless its the underground private copy or studio vault copy. The '91 cut I remember seeing at the Uptown was 35mm. The '07 final cut has Joanna Cassidy filming her character's Zora's death scene almost 25 years after original shooting! Even still, the movie has excellent visuals (65mm) that should have won Oscar over E.T., imho.
Unfortunately, hyperlinks are dead. I suppose info and/or final booking is fluid as of this writing.
I didn't. I think they had only 1 or 2 showings.

I have to careful what I say but I do know that there will be no BK. I'm in!!!
Ok, one no bankruptcy post and one bankruptcy post. The mystery continues...
I like the post. Just wish I knew what your information is based upon. If you're a contracted installer of ECTY charging stations, blink twice. Then, reply and say you blinked twice. Haha.
Sentiment: Buy
jh. Blink twice. funny.From the trading ,especially this morning it would seem that campbells may be right.Imo which has been wrong like almost everyones ecty continuing with the current mgmt. is highly unlikely so a buyout seems somewhat likely because of the infrastructure is set up, paid for by you and me.
timmy .You were, shall I say always careful, but . I gathered by your other posts you were in at 1.75,1.85 also.You made it appear you were a sub installing chargers or an employee of the company.I think this is your first post since Black Monday.See timmy the trick here was to say I am in or no bk a few days ago at 15pennies. At 35 pennies, to me the upside got diminished.But I am still glad u posted.
I had to stop posting. Found out they are watching. The office got a call. I was in before but needed funds so I had to get out. At these prices theres not a lot to lose. I do have to be careful what I say though due to contractual obligations. Lets just call whatever I say "speculation"!!!

"Minnesota Nice" Stillwater by yooperprof
Stillwater Travel Guide: 36 reviews and 57 photos
Stillwater is a beautiful small town on the St. Croix River, about 25 miles east of St. Paul, right across from Wisconsin. It's an ideal place to stay for a few days if you wish to enjoy the proximity of the Twin Cities while avoiding Big City hassles. Alternatively, many Twin Citizens use Stillwater as a convenient "getaway" when they need a little R & R. It has a charming town center, vibrant shops and restaurants, and a specialization in used books. There are also local celebrities who live here: the beautiful Jessica Lange and her playwright husband Sam Shepard, who live right up on the hill.

LOS ANGELES — Remember Quintin Berry?
The Cubs signed Berry as a free agent last August shortly before the Sept. 1 deadline for postseason eligibility.
Berry played in eight games, batted only once and was used primarily as a pinch runner.
So Berry turned out to be far from an essential addition. But with the Cubs all but assured of securing the best record in the National League this season, there are plenty of reasons to make sure they have covered all their bases in preparing for the playoffs. Here's a look:
Pitching: Two scouts who watched the Cubs in the last two weeks said the Cubs look a bit vulnerable in...

Mr. Semel's Internet Search; How a Former Hollywood Man Is Trying to Make Yahoo Click
By SAUL HANSELL
Published: January 7, 2002
Terry Semel wanted to have a fast start turning around Yahoo. He has had to settle for some extended on-the-job training.
The first hard lesson come last August, two months after Mr. Semel took over as chief executive of Yahoo, when he tried to buy the online job-listings site Headhunter.net. Headhunter would have provided a needed new source of revenue for Yahoo, the popular Web portal, which has been trying to reduce its dependence on the fickle market for online advertising.
Mr. Semel, 58, who was new to Silicon Valley after years as co-head of the Warner Brothers studio in Hollywood, says now that he walked away from the negotiations because the price rose too high. But several other people involved in the deal said that Yahoo so misplayed its negotiating hand with Headhunter's board that the company was ultimately sold to CareerBuilder, a rival backed by the Tribune Company and Knight Ridder, for $200 million, less than Yahoo's best offer.
In any case, Mr. Semel did not let another one get away. Last month, Yahoo made a hostile but ultimately successful $436 million bid for HotJobs.com, the No. 2 online job site, which had agreed to be acquired by the leader, TMP Worldwide's Monster.com.
This time, Mr. Semel ''had done his homework,'' said Dimitri Boylan, the chief executive of HotJobs. ''They were determined to get a deal done, and they did.''
Mr. Semel may not have been operating at the breakneck pace that used to be called ''Internet time.'' But nine months after the board hired him on the theory that a seasoned entertainment executive could help Yahoo become a bona fide media company, Mr. Semel appears to have a business plan. Now comes the hard work of putting it in place.
Up to now, Yahoo's great asset, as it turns out, has also been its biggest problem -- the sheer sprawl of its content, much of it available to users free. Each month, some 218 million people use an encyclopedia of Yahoo services, from astrology to Yellow Pages.
''We needed to forget about the big and broad and the biggest and the most and the many,'' Mr. Semel said. ''We're going to continue to have information and services on most anything, but there are going to be certain areas that we're going to start specializing so that we could go deeper, get better, and hopefully in more of an add-on sense, make money. There is nothing to be embarrassed about being profitable.''
Mr. Semel has merged Yahoo's 44 separate units into five much more narrowly focused businesses and decided to put greatest emphasis on one of them: its relatively small classified and yellow page listing area. He also decided to offer Internet access to homes, a business Yahoo had long shunned.
Analysts praise Mr. Semel for finally articulating a plan. Yet some remain doubtful that he can keep Yahoo thriving as more Internet traffic and commerce become dominated by the company's larger rivals, AOL Time Warner and Microsoft's MSN.
''There was a high level of skepticism when Terry Semel took the job,'' said Paul W. Noglows of J. P. Morgan. ''The skepticism is still there, but it's not so high.''
With $1.7 billion in cash, Yahoo is hardly destitute. Yet that reserve is pocket change next to the assets that Microsoft and AOL have at their disposal. AOL can pitch its Internet access service using every unsold commercial on CNN and unsold ad in Time magazine. Meanwhile, Microsoft can integrate its online services, like Passport and instant messaging, into its Windows and Office software.
But Mr. Semel says he is not afraid to joust with the giants. ''I find it easier to worry about being one of three companies than worrying about 42, like we had two or three years ago,'' he said. ''We think what we offer is better and broader than the others, but they are more financially successful. And so Yahoo also has to be more financially successful without in any way interfering with the integrity of what we offer and the relationship with consumers.''
Unlike most Internet companies, Yahoo actually made money in 1999 and 2000 as the other dot-coms spent their venture capital on big advertising deals with Yahoo and other Web portals. But when that gusher was capped, Yahoo's revenue fell to about $700 million last year from $1.1 billion in 2000. When the final 2001 tally comes in, the company is expected to lose about $110 million for the year and a return to profitability is not forecast until 2003.
By 2004, Mr. Semel wants revenue to shoot back to $2 billion -- far more than analysts are forecasting -- with nearly half that total coming from fees in areas other than advertising. Last year, advertising accounted for 76 percent of Yahoo's revenue.
Mr. Semel's predecessor, Timothy Koogle, whom the board ousted last February, also had started talking about developing fee-paying services. But so far, fees from consumers -- for services like fantasy football and extra e-mail storage -- account for less than 4 percent of Yahoo's revenue. By 2004, Mr. Semel said, he hopes to have 10 million subscribers for premium news, sports, music and other services.

Help Me Find Good Kitchen Canisters
Any suggestions from other bakers who have found a better option than the standard 4-piece sets without breaking the bank? Thanks!
Sent by Elise
Editor: Elise, I really like these Click-Clack containers. I also wanted stainless steel or glass jars, but for various reasons I ended up with these instead, and they have been great.
Readers, have you found any especially nice or economical kitchen canisters lately?
