Skip to comments.High gas prices not deterring motorists
Posted on 08/16/2005 4:29:30 PM PDT by RockinRight
click here to read article
10 yard dumps are fairly common going up and down the road. 20 yard side dumps were common last year due to construction, but aren't sharing the road so much this year. 5 yard dump trucks are driven to work often enough that it is not remarkable, although Ford 350s and GMC duallies with 20 foot gooseneck trailers are everywhere.
Man, I am telling you the only Horse Power I relate to is EQUINE. By "dump truck" do you mean "pickup truck"?
A one percent rise in demand results in a SEVENTY percent rise in price? Something smells.
Don't own an SUV. I have a 4x4 F250 that I use to commute to work, tow trailers, haul construction loads, plow snow, and whatever need presents itself.
I rarely take a road trip, and the public transportation in Greenbrier PA is severely lacking.
So, again, please tell me about more alternatives that there are plenty of?
Unless you're RV'ing across the country, gasoline (and jet fuel) are not particularly large components of vacation spending when compared to hotels, meals, recreation and amusement center admission costs, airfares, car rentals, etc.
I can drive to Chicago on less than $50.00. Three nights in a hotel will run around $500.00 to $700.00. Parking will be another $60.00 to $200.00 depending how many places I drive to. Haven't even started on meals yet.
Demand at the pumps is only one contributing factor in the price rise. The significant observation is that demand rose in spite of the price rise. It wasn't enough to make folks change their plans.
Support the good ole' USA, huh? Did it ever occur to you that all that tactic does is empower the leftist unions?
Pickup trucks are for carrying operators, mechanics, and their equipment and lunch from the callout hall to the worksite or railyard where the actual trucks are located.
You're right. Let's keep sending our money to our Muslim "friends" in Saudi. Maybe they'll get the White House next time.
Well most of us DO have alternatives and use them rather than complain.
Sorry about your situation.
I'm not aware of any Saudi-made automobiles. And searches tell me we get about 17% of our crude from them.
The title on this thread would indicate otherwise.
What does the title of this thread have to do with anything?
It says that high gas prices are not deterring motorists. It doesn't say that motorists are finding alternatives.
I have an SUV, two motorcycles and assorted lawn tools (riding mower, weedwhacker, hedge trimmer, chainsaws) etc. to fuel up.
I average buying about 15 gallons/month.
Good for them. So what does this have to do with anything?
Good for them. So what does this have to do with anything?
It has to do with what you said in #60, that MOST of us do have alternatives, etc. The point of the article states the opposite, that most aren't seeking alternatives, most of us are just carrying on as normal.
I was trying to be an impossible jerk and yet you have remained patient and rational in your responses to me.
I admire that. You win.

Historical Traveler Reviews Crowne Plaza Hotel Syracuse
One of best hotels I've ever stayed at!!
The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly! Great advice and directions to get around. Off-duty policemen as night security were really nice and made my friend and I feel very safe. We loved our room!
Comfy bed with wonderful duvet covers and very clean. The lounge was great to hang out in, great atmosphere. Restaurant was really great too. If I ever end up in the area again, I would definitely stay there.
Well worth the $$!! and just a quick drive to the fairgrounds!
My 2 cents
Great hotel. I thought the lounge was fun and the rooms made me feel like was not in a hotel room, more like I was staying at a friends.
Above all, I think the staff said hello over a hundred times and even remembered my name, which I thought was cool. Maybe I spent too much time in the lounge. Anyway, how can we get one in Albany?
Marx is a great hotel
Rooms are great, staff is even better!
Unfortunately I began my visit in Syracuse at a different hotel. The good news is that due to overbooking I had to frantically locate another - and I found myself at The Marx.
The Marx was an INCREDIBLE hotel and when I walked into my room I instantly thought I had stepped into George Jetsen's bedroom.
Futuristic, modern and funky the design team (McClusky?) should be commended for their talent and attention to detail. They proved themselves to share very innovative ideas without going over the top.
(The shower is to die for!)
My only disappointment was when the staff told me they weren't national. But maybe one day....
Wow- The Marx is The Place to stay
All the high style and luxury that you'd expect in a Boutique Hotel in the "City", but here it all is in Syracuse, NY. Add to the style and amenities, the sophisticated dining elegance and superb taste, the relaxing "library-lounge", as well as unbelievable high-tech conference facilities, and unpretentious but fabulous service and attention to detail, and you have an unforgettable experience in a destination which, let's face it, was never #1 on the list...I understand that the whole City of Syracuse is slated for a face-lift. If it gets it, then maybe it will be able to fend for itself among destinations. But until then, the real destination in Syracuse, is simply, The Marx---go there, and luxuriate, in this "Travel & Leisure" or "Small Leading Hotels of the World" type of property, even if your ultimate travel destination is up to 90 minutes away--it is truly worth the trip, so comfortable, one-of-a-kind, hip but cozy, and ethereal ( the soaps, shampoos, etc. are custom-made, awesomely spa-like and almost full-size--great to use in the rain-head showers that are "to die for".) You'll be so happy you read this, and listened!
Better than
We came to Syracuse for our Nephews graduation in May and was forced to stay at the Marx because the Sheraton was sold out. Good for us. Because we just got back from the Sheraton on our latest visit and the difference is noticable. Being from NYC we just figured that the Marx was a nice hotel, we compared it to the hotels we are used to. The Sheraton could have had a Best Western sign on it because it just doesn't measure up. Nobody even cared that we were there. The Manager in the lobby at the marx held the door every time we walked through the lobby. It was nice to see he wasn't sitting behind a desk and instead was out doing his job. Everybody was friendly. Good for them.
The beds are great!!
Most comfortable bed...EVER!!! The linens and duvets are fabulous and I had to personally tell the General Manager as we road down the elevator what a great night's sleep I had. The rooms are so well decorated, that you forget that they are pie-shaped b/c the building is round. The staff is so friendly that they make the high price seem like a bargain. When I come to Syracuse for business I will stay at the Marx.
Chic style comfort and service in Syracuse!
Wow! If you are heading to Syracuse, NY, do yourself a favor and stay at the Marx. Not only is this the best hotel in town, you could be in any major city in the world and not find a better, more stylish hotel with fabulous amenities and professional service. Some boutique hotels that I've been to around the world, have unfortunately come at an outrageous price--the Marx is comparably priced with boring, cookie-cutter hotels in the area. To add insult to injury, the staff at the most chic establishments in SoBe, NYC, SF, etc. mostly have "attitude", like they are doing you a favor to do their jobs. Not at the Marx--the design materials and finishes are truly first class, but the tab won't sting, and their staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. I feel as if I'm in a haven when I'm at the Marx. The food is fabulous in their premier dining spot, Redfield's, and the Library lounge has such a comfortable atmosphere with drinks and light fare, that it iis simply tempting never to leave. My husband and I lingered for hours, meeting new people and making friends. If your aim is to close a deal, the Library Lounge envelopes you with such comfort that it makes such dealmaking conducive. I had the opportunity to see the Marx conference rooms and party rooms---all state-of-the-art technogy, and the fabulously designed break-out areas-- HIGHLY CONDUCIVE SPACES TO WORK ON PROBLEM SOLVING. Oh one more point. Some hotels are all show but they fall apart in the details. The rooms here really function well. We got fast connections on the internet We were able to work on the computer, while my husband looked at some cable shows. The room was very adaptable. And when was the last time you had af ull night sleep in a hotel bed? It is scrumptiously outfitted, and allows you to truly rest, awaking ready to be refreshed by the fabulous rain-head shower. Usually my trips to Syracuse can not be over soon eneough, but if you are lucky enough to stay at the Marx, all that changes. Once your at the Marx you don't care makes for a good excuse to stay on another day! This is the best thing that has ever come to Syracuse. Just follow my advice and you won't be let down. Let yourself be treated in style. The Marx is ready for you and your standards, no matter how high!
The Best
We have been coming to Syracuse for the past four years to visit our daughter at SU and nobody does it better than the marx. The rooms and the people were the best.
New and Impressive
The hotel is under renovation and has some rooms complete and they are amazing. I get a New York City feel from this property. High speed Internet, great workspace, enormous King bed with Duvet and the shower is too die for. When the temperature and pressure is right on, it sets the tone for the entire day. They use a rain shower, simply amazing to find this luxury in Syracuse.

Masaki Kobayashi's Epic Japanese Classic: THE HUMAN CONDITION Trilogy
Between 1959 and 1961 pantheon Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi (HARAKIRI, KWAIDAN) released his mammoth three-part epic THE HUMAN CONDITION (NINGEN NO JOKEN). Chronicling the trials and tribulations of a pacifist (Tatsuya Nakadai of SWORD OF DOOM, KAGEMUSHA and RAN) and his wife (Michiyo Aratama), director Kobayashi follows the idealistic young man as he tries to improve the lives of inmates at a forced labor camp in pre-WWII Manchuria. Nakadai comes into conflict with his superiors, is chastised and ultimately drafted by his militaristic bosses when he proves too humane. Sent to fight the Russians as war breaks out, he undergoes massive trauma in battle and fights to reunite with his long-suffering spouse. Not as well known as Akira Kurosawa's famous humanist epics, Kobayashi's THE HUMAN CONDITION is a masterpiece on an epic scale about one man who resolutely follows his conscience when the world is dissolving into chaos. Nakadai gives one of his greatest, most fully nuanced performances in a film that is easily the equal of THE SEVEN SAMURAI in international classic cinema status. Parts 1: NO GREATER LOVE, 2: THE ROAD TO ETERNITY & 3: A SOLDIER'S PRAYER run approximately 3 hours each. One part will be screened each night - by the end of the weekend you will have witnessed the whole magnificent 9 plus hours. It is not an exaggeration to call this cinematic experience a revelation and particularly relevant in light of current world events. Special thanks to Janus Films for striking new prints for this limited re-release. "...a sprawling...epic of love, war, heroism and cruelty...Kobayashi's monumental film can clarify and enrich your understanding of what it is to be alive." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
THE HUMAN CONDITION - NO GREATER LOVE (NINGEN NO JOKEN I), 1959, Janus Films, 205 min.
In real life, director Masaki Kobayashi (KWAIDAN) served in the Japanese Imperial Army but continually refused promotion, remaining a private throughout the duration of WWII as a way of protest. In this first installment of what is probably Kobayashi's most outstanding achievement as a filmmaker, Tatsuya Nakadai portrays a newlywed pacifist who is sent with his wife (Michiyo Aratama) to Manchuria to put into practice his theories for improving conditions at labor camps. But optimistic Nakadai is slowly undermined not just by his civilian superiors' complacency but also the brutal inhumanity of the military police overseers. The opening salvo of one of the great cinematic sagas of the 20th century, a classic that stands alongside Rossellini's OPEN CITY, Kurosawa's IKIRU and Kazan's ON THE WATERFRONT as a social document defining personal courage. "...a richly rewarding visual and human experience in all its bleakness...Nakadai's performance as a man of Christlike forbearance, who travels to the edge of human endurance in a doomed and lonely struggle against an evil society, is both moving and charismatic." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
THE HUMAN CONDITION - THE ROAD TO ETERNITY (NINGEN NO JOKEN II), 1959, Janus Films, 181 min.
Dir. Masaki Kobayashi.
At the end of the first installment, Tatsuya Nakadai's attempt to work good in an evil system fails when everything the system represents conspires against him. In the second film, Nakadai is drafted and sent into a barbaric regimen of training as a punishment for his refusal to give up his humanist principles. The Soviet Union declares war on Japan, and its galvanized army floods into Manchuria. Enduring the horrors of the battlefield as well as abuse from many of his fellow soldiers for his pacifist reputation, Nakadai tries his best to stay in touch with his long-suffering wife (Michiyo Aratama). "THE HUMAN CONDITION was made at around the same time as Satyajit Ray's APU trilogy and Luchino Visconti's ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS, and like them it is a work of large-scale realism grounded in a thorough but undogmatic left-wing political sensibility...amazingly powerful in its emotional sweep and the depth of its historical insight." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
THE HUMAN CONDITION - A SOLDIER'S PRAYER (NINGEN NO JOKEN III), 1961, Janus Films, 190 min.
Dir. Masaki Kobayashi.
As the Soviets overrun the disintegrating Japanese war machine, Tatsuya Nakadai and a comrade (Yusuke Kawazu) are overlooked. They try to make their way south, encountering a striking variety of refugees along the way. But Nakadai is eventually taken prisoner and shipped off to a Siberian P.O.W. camp. Upon arrival, he finds the most viciously unrepentant of the Japanese soldiers have been made trustees by their Soviet masters while the majority of the detainees are being systematically starved. At last, barely alive Nakadai escapes into a hellish frozen wasteland - but does ultimate salvation or oblivion await him? "Kobayashi views his characters with tremendous compassion and a grand, overall sense of historical irony...By the unutterably tragic conclusion of Part III, in which the story of one man's inevitable destruction seems to embody the demolition of all the 20th century's most noble dreams, I was profoundly grateful...to have stuck with THE HUMAN CONDITION to the end." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Meanwhile, the Aero's special program sounds like probably the coolest overall idea for a program at this particular time in our economic history. Because if you can't smile about this stuff, you'll go insane.
Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? Great Films of the Great Depression
During times of economic woes, movies have always presented a relatively inexpensive form of entertainment. During the Great Depression, Hollywood responded to America's collective troubles with some of the most entertaining movies ever made: classic horror films (FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY), musicals (the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers pictures), and screwball comedies starring Cary Grant (HOLIDAY), W.C. Fields (IT'S A GIFT) and more. There are few things as comforting as laughing, crying and screaming together in a crowded movie theater -- so during our current economic downturn, why not gather together for a series of enduring classics? The Aero will be showing some of the funniest, scariest and most romantic movies of an era a little too close to our own for comfort. During this series, the Cinematheque doesn't want anyone to miss the fun so we are extending a special invitation to our friends who are out of work to come to this series for FREE upon presentation of a January or February stub from your EDD benefit check. Please show the stub with photo ID at the box office for entry. And ask about our Roosevelt Deal at the concession stand!
Forrest J. Ackerman Memorial Double Feature:
FRANKENSTEIN, 1931, Universal, 70 min. Dir. James Whale. "A Monster Science Created - But Could Not Destroy!" Boris Karloff had appeared in over 75 films before FRANKENSTEIN turned him almost overnight into a screen legend. His performance as a manmade human stitched together from pieces of dead bodies and reanimated by electricity - anguished, eloquent, wordless - remains one of the most hauntingly powerful in all cinema. With Colin Clive, Edward Van Sloan, Dwight Frye.
THE MUMMY, 1932, Universal, Dir. Karl Freund. Boris Karloff gives one of his finest performances as the 3,000-year-old Egyptian who returns from the dead to reclaim reincarnated love Zita Johann, in cinematographer-turned-director Karl Freund's marvelously atmospheric chiller - easily the best of many mummy films to come. (Look for a memorial tribute to Forry on March 8 at the Egyptian.)
Depression-Era Comedy Double Feature:
SONS OF THE DESERT, 1933, Hal Roach (Hallmark Entertainment), 68 min. Dir. William A. Seiter. In what many fans consider their best feature, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy want to sneak off to their annual lodge convention, but the wives are having none of it. A wonderful farce with a deep layer of truth that lifts it above other, more "respectable" marital comedies. With Mae Busch, Dorothy Christy and a hilarious Charley Chase as an obnoxious drunk; see if you can spot a young Bob Cummings in the crowd. More
IT'S A GIFT, 1934, Universal, 73 min. Dir. Norman Z. McLeod. Considered by some to be The Great Man's greatest film, this short, sweet W.C. Fields vehicle is little more than a series of zany sketches loosely tied to his desire to move to California and grow oranges. Includes the legendary "Mr. Muckle" and "Carl LaFong" scenes, as well as the hanging mirror and sleeping porch routines. Jean Rouverol, who co-wrote THE FIRST TIME, plays Fields' daughter. More
Astaire/Rogers Double Feature:
ROBERTA, 1935, Warner Bros., 106 min.
Dir. William A. Seiter.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers make an early appearance together alongside Randolph Scott and Irene Dunne in this romantic confection set against the backdrop of the fashion industry. Astaire and Scott are Americans traveling through Paris; Dunne is the exiled princess who falls in love with Scott and becomes his business partner. More
FOLLOW THE FLEET, 1936, Warner Bros., 110 min.
Dir. Mark Sandrich.
Another Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers Euro opus, this time with Astaire as a sailor on shore leave and Rogers as the dance hall hostess he romances. The great songs include "Let's Face the Music and Dance" and "Let Yourself Go," and the great supporting cast includes Randolph Scott and Betty Grable. More | Trailer
Screwball Comedy Double Feature:
Newly Restored! TOPPER, 1937, Hal Roach (Hallmark Entertainment), 97 min.
Dir. Norman Z. McLeod.
Thorne Smith's timeless tale of a banker (Roland Young) whose existence is turned upside down by a married pair of wisecracking ghosts (Cary Grant and Constance Bennett) who decide he needs a little more life in his life. Two sequels, a TV series and countless knockoffs later, the original still shines as brightly as ever. With Billie Burke (two years before she became a good witch), Eugene Pallette, Alan Mowbray, Arthur Lake and Hedda Hopper. More
HOLIDAY, 1938, Sony Repertory, 93 min.
Society girl Katharine Hepburn falls in love with her sister's idiosyncratic fiancé (a pitch-perfect Cary Grant), and the result is the greatest nonconformist comedy ever made. Working with Philip Barry's play as his foundation, director George Cukor considers serious issues about the human condition and what it means to be truly independent, yet does it all with a light, hilarious and charming touch.
Finally, there's the eclectic and awesome Cinefamily at the Silent Movie Theater.
This letter was sent out to everyone who gets their mailer:
Every once in a while, there's a film on the calendar which I want to draw extra attention too. One that I think is a real discovery, and because of its extreme obscurity, I'm worried will slip through your attention. This month, I've been trying to draw attention to Lost In The Desert (aka Dirkie) -- the strange, dark and absurdist kids' film from South Africa that we featured on our current calendar cover. I would already recommend it to those with a black sense of humor, 'cause for those with the right sensibility, the disasters the film heaps upon poor Dirkie reach hilarious dimensions. But I want to draw extra attention to it because I seriously doubt this has every played in a US theatre, I know it has never had a US video release, and have good reason to think I have the only print in North America.
I bought this print from a guy in Australia (not knowing how much I'd like it) and had it shipped overseas. The preponderance of evidence is that it played primarly in British Isles countries--most of the comments on the IMDB are from Australia, South Africa, England, etc. Many loving comments like "long-lost gem" and "forgotten classic", but for connosseiurs of the accidentally surreal like me, I was more drawn to buy the print from comments like:
"Psychologically damaging movie for kids to watch"
"literally sobbed and sobbed! No other film in my whole lifetime has stayed with me like this one"
"I too saw this movie when I was really young but as I grew up wondered if it was just a dream. It gave me nightmares."
"I'm amazed that this is a real movie. I was almost certain it was a child's hallucination. Or perhaps a real movie made by hippies on LSD."
Anyway, I doubt it'll be playing again anytime soon, so check it out!
Your Programmer,
Hadrian Belove

Fair warning, right? You miss it at your own peril.
Here's the rest of their programming for the week:
The Cocoa Screenings: Founding Fathers of Found Footage Films
Tickets - $12
The modern world is thoroughly converted to the validity of using "found" media as one's medium, from hip-hop sampling and teenagers on YouTube to art galleries and museums. But fifty years ago, this was not commonplace. The pioneers of perverting other people's intellectual property invented a whole new art form, recontextualizing through montage, creating new significance that lied dormant in otherwise neutral footage. In the bourgeoning days of Pop Art, these spiritual descendants of Duchamp and his readymades found a new language of cinema through creative theft. Besides, why hustle to raise the bread to buy raw film stock, or to go to deepest Africa, or to restage the Hindenburg explosion--when there's all this glorious discarded footage in the garbage bins behind the processing lab? For this calendar's "Cocoa Screening", we've programmed an assemblage of ground-breaking found footage films that'll tour you through some of the earliest artifacts of this now ubiqitous art form. You may be wondering, why is this a "Cocoa Screening"? Well, we've decided there's one important thing missing from our evenings of experimental film, perhaps from all evenings of artistic appreciation -- the comforting bliss of a warm, sweet beverage. So we hereby begin The Cocoa Screenings, a semi-regular series of evenings of fun art and good taste. The taste of hot cocoa, that is.
"When A Man Loves"
Restored 35mm print courtesy of UCLA Film And Television Archive
Dir. Alan Crosland, 1927, 35mm, 111 min.
Tickets - $10
John Barrymore's nuanced performance can't quell this period drama's epic intensity: priests are defrocked, identities are disguised, monarchs are corrupted, and delicate maidens are sold into horrifying marriages--and that's just the tip of the flaming iceberg. Chivalry might very well be dead, but Barrymore takes a defibrillator to it in his turn as Fabien des Grieux, a divinity-student-turned-fake-courtesan-gambler bent on rescuing beautiful young Manon (Dolores Costello) from an endless coterie of unsavory clutches. Murder, imprisonment, thunderstorms, sword fights, convict boat mutinies, puppets, monkeys--lucky for us, this film spares no punches in its portrayal of 18th-century French intrigue and heroic histrionics. If this is what happens when a man loves...
SERIES: Lubitsch Musicals
"The Merry Widow"
Dir. Ernst Lubitsch, 1934, 35mm, 99 min.
Tickets - $10
Among the many adaptations of this much-loved Franz Lehár operetta, Ernst Lubitsch's version is best remembered--it's a dazzlingly elegant whirlwind of a film, down to the tips of Maurice Chevalier's shoes. Lubitsch paired the archetypal suave Frenchman with the incomparable Jeanette MacDonald, who plays wealthy widow Sonia, the main taxpayer for the tiny kingdom of Marshovia. When she leaves for Paris to marry again, Marshovia's king realizes the monetary threat this poses to his realm and sends Count Danilo, played by Chevalier, to woo her back. Romance and musical magic ensues, climaxing in the famous "Merry Widow Waltz" sequence. Always obsessive about the details, Lubitsch topped things off with stunning art direction by Cedric Gibbons and Gabriel Sconamillo, and gowns by Adrian, the quintessential face of '30s high fashion.
Dir. Otto Preminger, 1944, 35mm, 88 min.
shown with
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1958, 35mm, 128 min.
Tickets - $10
What links Otto Preminger's Laura and Hitchcock's Vertigo is their detective heroes, each falling madly in love with temptresses from beyond the grave. The heroine of Laura (played by Gene Tierney) is a murder victim whose phantom--embodied in her portrait and possession, like the title character in Hitchcock's Rebecca--bewitches the cop trying to solve the case (Dana Andrews). In Vertigo, a private eye (James Stewart) falls in love with a woman (Kim Novak) who may be possessed by the soul of a dead woman. When his love object dies, he can't let go. Slick suspense plotting is the pretext for spinning a visual spell: ravishing, dreamlike color photography in Vertigo, and a glittering version of '40s noir in Laura. Bernard Herrman's matchless score for the Hitchcock and David Raskin's hit theme song for the Preminger add their own ineffable perfumes.
SERIES: Lesbian Vampires
"The Hunger"
Dir. Tony Scott, 1983, 35mm, 97 min.
Tickets - $10
If you thought you knew the limits of director Tony Scott's delirious stylistic excess (Domino, Beverly Hills Cops 2, Revenge, Top Gun)--an orgy of television commercial visual design matched with the minimum of required narrative coherence, then you haven't seen his debut film. At the time of its release, The Hunger was met with critical derision and commercial failure, but time has made it a cult classic. Smoked with seduction and soaked in stylization, The Hunger features an egregiously sexy lesbian love scene so steamy that even the film's negative reviews had to acknowledge the power of sultry sirens Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon "making it" while covered only in what would soon become some of Scott's signature visual elements: hazy interiors, gauzy eyelines, blowing sheets. The film is also one of the early touchstones of Goth culture, with its hot-pale-chicks-with-'80s-haircuts, romanticized bloodsucking, and appearances by both David Bowie (in a supporting role) and Bauhaus (performing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in the nightclub opening).
The Thin Man Saturdays in February
Dashiell Hammett, incomparable master of hardboiled detective novels, gave the film world something preciously loopy when he OK'd the adaptation of his much-loved final novel, "The Thin Man". Audiences fell hard for the cheerfully hard-drinking, fast-talking, always-charming husband-wife detective team of Nick and Nora Charles, played by the perfectly-paired William Powell and Myrna Loy in career-defining turns (alongside Asta, their ubiquitous wire-haired wonder dog). Though the couple's brilliant rapport was famously based on Hammett's relationship with firecracker playwright Lillian Hellman, it took on a life of its own, spawning five delicious sequels.
"The Thin Man"
Dir. W. S. Van Dyke, 1934, 35mm, 93 min.
shown with
"After The Thin Man"
Dir. W. S. Van Dyke, 1936, 35mm, 113 min.
Tickets - $10
The first boozy installment in the "Thin Man" series introduced the film world to retired detective Nick Charles, jostled back into a career in crime-solving by the disappearance of a close friend suspected of murder. With a martini always in hand and lovely, sharp-tongued socialite wife Nora always at his side, Nick stumbles with alarming wit and charisma from clue to clue. The big reveal of the true culprit unfolds in a stirring, convention-establishing dinner-party scene, in which all the suspects are present. The first sequel, After the Thin Man, finds the couple sucked into another odd caper while visiting Nora's hilariously aristocratic family on New Year's. Is cousin Thelma a crazed murderess? All family members are shuffled into the same room to find out...
SERIES: Wretched Romances
Dir. Bob Clark, 1984, 35mm, 111 min.
Tickets - $10
The effervescent Dolly Parton has paired up with some of the most mismatched male leads in movie history, from James Woods to Gary Busey and a crooning Burt Reynolds, but that's nothing compared to the spectacle of the death-twitch anti-chemistry between her...and the Italian Stallion! In this countrified Pygmalion, singer Dolly wagers a club owner she can turn oafish NYC cabbie Sly Stallone into a Nashville sensation, culminating in their showstopping suckerpunch duet of "Stay Out of My Bedroom," ranking just behind Stallone's own Staying Alive in the pantheon of surreal film musical finales. Director Bob Clark (Porky's, A Christmas Story) provides glitzy visuals, and Dolly gives a gosh-darn perky rendition of "odd couple" romantic infatuation, but it's Stallone's must-see soul-liquifying performance--a freakish blur of ad-libbed infantile jokes, lead-footed prancing and tone-deaf caterwauling--that makes Rhinestone one of the most riveting portrayals of '80s misguided excess at its shiniest.
Family presents: An Evening With Mike Mills
Dir. István Szabó, 1970, digital presentation, 123 min.
Tickets - $12
Once a month The Cinefamily will host "Family Sundays", where our good friends at Family Bookstore (just down the road!) will bring in their favorite people--artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, comedians, or generally inspiring folk--to curate and introduce a night of films. First, they'll show lesser-seen short films that they've made, or that have been made about them--or that they just like. Afterwards, they'll show a feature that has personally influenced them, and finally they'll explain it all and take your questions too. This Sunday, Family brings us artist/designer/filmaker Mike Mills, who's directed music videos for Sonic Youth, Yoko Ono, Beastie Boys, Blonde Redhead and Ol' Dirty Bastard, as well as the film Thumbsucker, and the documentaries Does Your Soul Have a Cold? and Deformer (about artist/skater Ed Templeton). Medium is less important to Mills' work than an encompassing vision that permeates all his diverse projects. Whether it's a television commercial, a watercolor painting, or a fabric design, everything Mills concocts is suffused by his current emotional and spiritual disposition. He has chosen to show and share his thoughts about István Szabó's Lovefilm, a lesser-known 1970 masterpiece from the Czech New Wave.
Okay. One last one. Maybe the coolest title of the week because it's not on DVD and it's genuinely worth the effort to see...
Midnight. Friday the 6th. The Nuart.
"Ken Russell's The Devils"

Avalanche demolishes house in Missoula, Mont.; 3 buried people rescued
MISSOULA, Mont. — An avalanche hit a neighborhood in Missoula, Mont. Friday, demolishing a house on the north side of the city.
Officials told KTMF the two elderly residents who live in the house were missing Friday night. Then, both the man and woman were found, rescued and taken to a hospital.
An 8-year-old boy was also found earlier and taken to a hospital.
An avalanche team was called to the scene on Holly Street inside Missoula's city limits to assess whether there was danger of a second slide.

Exploring the convergence of botany with booze, Amy Stewart applies her infectious curiosity to herbs, flowers, trees, fruits and nuts that make our favorite and lesser-known libations.
From bugs in booze and homemade grenadine to parsnip wine and the botany of beer, Stewart takes readers on a garden tour like no other in "The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create the World's Great Drinks" ($19.95, Algonquin).
Digging into the gardens and people behind them has proved fruitful for Stewart, the author of six books, including the New York Times bestselling book "Wicked Plants." Blending a love of gardening with a geeky passion for history and modern mixology, Stewart brings things full circle with "The Drunken Botanist."
Connecting the dots between what we grow and what we imbibe, Stewart gives us reason to grow our own hops, sloes and lemon verbena, while explaining why we might want organic citrus for zest in cocktails. Madison's own Old Sugar Distillery even gets a mention for its small-batch Queen Jennie Sorghum Whiskey.
Stewart lives in Eureka, Calif., where she and her husband own an antiquarian bookstore. Find her recipes, cocktail garden tips and more at www.drunkenbotanist.com .
Join her for a book reading and free drink tasting at 7 p.m. April 10, co-sponsored by Boswell Books and Boerner Botanical Gardens, at Great Lakes Distillery, 616 W. Virginia St.
Q. How did you develop your fascination with plants?
A. My background is as a writer. I'm just interested in writing. If I wasn't interested in these kinds of things, I'd be writing something else.
My first book was a memoir of my garden in Santa Cruz. That was just what was going on in my life at the time, and one thing led to another. There was a chapter about earthworms, and I was kind of interested. No one had written the kind of book about earthworms that I wanted to read, so I wrote it.
Q. Drunken Botanist started with a bottle of gin?
A. I was sitting around with a friend of mine who is also a horticultural writer and landscape designer, who said, "Somebody gave me this bottle of gin. I'm not much of a drinker." I said, "I know what to do with it, number one. And two, how can you not be interested? It's all about plants! Everything that is in a bottle behind the bar is nothing but distilled plant matter. There's nothing but plants in these bottles."
So I sort of went off on this rant.
Q. Your research also inspired a line of seeds and plants?
A. You can get them anywhere through mail order. Territorial Seed Co. is online. And they're in garden centers on the West Coast. I was talking to my friend Alice Doyle, she's a grower. I said I'd love to have a page of plants and seed sources. I'm going to be talking to bartenders. . . . They'll want to know where to get this stuff.
We decided we would do this collection of them. Themes run around a particular spirit; there's one for vodka, rum, whiskey, all with recipes on the plant tags.
Q. Every great drink starts with a plant. How did you cull recipes?
A. The subtitle is "The Plants that Create the World's Great Drinks." That's what I was trying to do, connect classic cocktails with the plants that create them.
I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel. In fact, there are no new recipes. You look at any recipe and it is just swaps, the ratios are basically the same. What are the recipes that best express the plant in the glass?
In a few cases, I did do a variation on a classic and swap ingredients to make it fit with the botanist. Chartreuse, I did a version of that for a man who brought lemon verbena to the world; he died a really tragic death in prison. I called it "Dombey's Last Word." So those are fun.
There are tons more recipes and a bunch of stuff that didn't fit in the book on the site.
Q. What plants are used most around the world to create alcoholic beverages?
A. It's an interesting question. What plants end up in drinks more than any other plant? It's hard to figure out statistics. You have to start with statistics available and work your way back.
Grapes obviously come to the top of the list, include brandy and that's big. Barley . . . there is barley in a lot of beer, whiskey and vodka. I also think sorghum because it is used in gluten-free beer here and in Asia and around the world. . . .
The most popular brand of spirits in the world is a South Korean spirit you've probably never heard of and tasted: Jinro soju. Every year the liquor industry comes out with the top-selling brands and it is always number one or two.
Q. Historically, Milwaukee is a beer town. What should we be thinking about as we look at local brews?
A. One thing I like to see, and to be honest I don't know how much of this is coming out of Milwaukee, fresh hops. I love to see beers with fresh hops.
It is a flavoring. The hops very often come in this form of pellets, compressed. Some beer makers when hops are in season will do fresh hops, taking the whole flower which looks like a miniature pinecone. That's kind of a thing, exploring the different hops and how those change the flavor.
I also really love cask-aged beers. If they have something aged in wood, I want to try that.
Q. What plant issues drive up the cost of a cocktail?
A. Some of it certainly is total marketing and hot air. Particularly with vodka; there are some really overpriced vodkas on the market. There are lots of excellent midpriced spirits. Makers Mark is an excellent bourbon; it is moderately priced. Beefeaters is a good gin, and it is what we have in the house.
You want something made with good ingredients. I don't want a cheap triple sec with artificial ingredients. Spend enough to know you're getting real orange peel and spirits.
I hate to see all these flavored vodkas on the market and it says "made with natural flavorings." That means some sort of plant extract mixed in the laboratory. No actual blueberries were harmed in the making of that vodka.
House-made bitters, handcrafted bitters, even fresh-squeezed citrus, having a bartender cut a lime in half is slower. It is a labor issue, but it does make all the difference.
Q. One recipe you always keep on hand?
A. If you're only going to make a few of your cocktail ingredients, I'd put fresh grenadine in the list. It's just pomegranate juice and sugar. Every year I get a few pomegranates and juice them. All you do is cook it down with some sugar. I add a splash of vodka as a preservative.
I keep it in the freezer and dip into it through the year. I have tried it with commercial pomegranate juice, and it is not as good as the fresh-squeezed. It is worth it. I just use those hand-held lemon squeezers, an hour in the kitchen.
Q. What's the take-away from this book?
A. I hope that bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts will be inspired to grow a few of their own ingredients, or at least appreciate the plant. I'd like to see more awareness of the source in the cocktail world.

Historical Horology – The Seiko Tuna
Welcome back to another Seiko-flavored edition of Historical Horology. Last week's dive into the Seiko Monster proved popular, which makes sense. The Monster is a popular entry-level diver, and it is also one that John and I have recommended quite a bit. While that last article really was more of a look at how the watch and it's movement are put together, this week we do have a more historical look at the Seiko Tuna. It's not a particular deep history, considering that the watch was introduced in 1975, but it is a history nonetheless.

Days away from work highest for carpal tunnel syndrome
April 02, 2001
Among major disabling workplace injuries and illnesses in 1999, median days away from work were highest for cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Median days away from work—the key measure of severity for occupational injuries and illnesses—designates the point at which half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days. For carpal tunnel syndrome the median was 27 days. This was followed by fractures (20 days) and amputations (18 days).
These data are a product of the BLS Safety and Health Statistics program. Additional information is available from "Lost-Worktime Injuries and Illnesses: Characteristics and Resulting Time Away From Work, 1999", news release USDL 01-71.

On Tap Today: The election's upon us
Will Obama be re-elected for a second presidential term? Will Mitt Romney and his Wisconsin-based VP candidate Paul Ryan take over the White House? One thing is for certain - this election thing is a pretty big deal, particularly in a so-called battleground state like Wisconsin. So unique entertainment options appear to be a bit spare tonight as we wait to see how this election will pan out.
That said, the Riverwest Public House Cooperative at 815 E. Locust St. has found a way to celebrate the election and bring some much needed fun to the evening. It's been preparing for tonight with a series of "Hot Blind Debates" discussions this fall in addition to screening the actual presidential debates. Tonight, election coverage will be playing on two big screen TVs, with raffle prizes for guessing the popular vote in states before they're called, plus political jokes and "I Voted" drink specials. Oh, and according to the site, depending on how things go, cat videos might be shared as well. »Read Full Blog Post

Perfect way to start your day

Format and size are perfect for putting on my lap and planning out my day/week. Extra pages allow to include other items from other dates throughout the year. Now that I am retired, I was looking for a different kind of agenda to keep track of my tasks, events and ideas. I keep my calendar electronically, but enhanced my planning/thought processes with this agenda.

Best Agenda Yet
By abby4313

I have been searching and searching for the perfect planner. Finally my search has ended with the Circa Weekly Agenda. Last year, I purchased the Junior size and loved it, but found I needed some more room. For the coming year I purchased the Letter sized agenda and it was love at first sight! Plenty of room to write down all my events and notes. The paper quality is great quality. Overall this is a GREAT product!!!

Long time user of the Weekly Agenda - while enjoying the new font and the addition of the monthly planning pages - a big miss - in my opinion - is the lack of a serrated corner.

Hot dogs and veal patties ditched in Ikea horsemeat scare
- From: AAP
- February 28, 2013
IKEA says it is withdrawing hot dogs and veal patties from European stores as a precaution after tests confirmed horsemeat in its meatballs.
The Swedish furniture giant pulled its hot dogs in France, Spain, Britain, Ireland and Portugal, and two traditional dishes sold in Sweden: a veal patty known as "wallenbergare" and a cabbage beef casserole.
Earlier this week the company pulled its Ikea-brand one-kilogram bags of frozen meatballs off its shelves and withdrew meatballs from its restaurants in 25 countries, primarily in Europe but also in parts of Asia and in the Dominican Republic after Czech authorities said they found traces of horse DNA in the product.
Ikea said its own tests had so far only shown the presence of horsemeat in its meatballs, but the other products were being removed because they were made by the same supplier as the meatballs, Swedish company Dafgaard.
"Out of several hundred test results we have received ... a handful have shown indications of horsemeat," Ikea spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson said, referring to the meatball tests.
The announcement came just after Dafgaard confirmed it had found horsemeat in several batches of its meatballs.
"The affected batches are all frozen meatballs that have already been blocked from sale," Dafgaard said in a statement.
Swedish news agency TT reported the level of horsemeat found was between one and 10 per cent, which is higher than the level usually considered to be the result of contamination in a slaughterhouse.
Ikea said no decision had been taken about whether it would terminate its contract with Dafgaard.
"For several years we have been working closely with Dafgaard, we view this just as seriously (as they do). Together we are looking at how to proceed," Ms Magnusson said.
The furniture retailer was the latest group to become caught up in a Europe-wide scandal over horsemeat in food products that erupted in January when horse DNA was detected in beefburgers in Britain and Ireland.

My Husbnd loves horse Meat and frequently eats it when we re in his country, Its actually eaten by lots of Europeans, and very cheap. I guess the problem here is if the horse meat fit for human consumption, But also if your paying for Beef or what ever Ikea meat balls are made of then I suppose you should get Beef Personally I do not Like the Ikea Meatballs. But maybe that's why there so cheap.

Confirmed guest
- I have stayed twice before at this hotel and the standard has dropped. The quality of the food has gone down and was not available at all when we returned from the golf course in the afternoon. The restaurants close too promptly and ask you to leave. Apart from the main restaurant the other restaurants were only open intermittently. The Turkish restaurant was not open at all. The music is too loud and not really necessary.

For an existing facebook page, I need to create a facebook reveal page that does not allow a visitor to look at the page contents without clicking the "like" button, no additional data capture fields required.
The page is relating to fashion clothing hence the reveal page can have 4-5 pictures with the text "To check out designs like these, click like" or something else suitable to entice visitors to click the "like" button.
Don't want any existing templates used or anything else that adds some advertising in return of creating a tab to the facebook page. Admin rights will be provided to finish the task.
The job includes creating a tab, a reveal page and redirecting to the "timeline" page once the "like" button is clicked.

EDIT: And Thracia, and everyone outside of Jugdral I guess.
> Miss the benchmark
> Equip DA FORSETI FOR DOUBLING and SLIGHTLY MORE DAMAGE than Cellica. Did mention doing this basically forces you to take damage?
No, seriously that thing is damn terrible
Real Metal bounces their breast. Deal with it
Even considering the speed benchmarks, I'd argue that it'd still be important to have at least 3-4 characters hit 75. I'm much more worried about the 70 Speed Brave Bow Snipers than Anna, myself.
Lon'qu!Laurent at least can do Wastex4 or Celica's Galex4 like Morgan, Noire and Severa can, and has space to run Tomefaire over All Stats +2, which is an acceptable compromise for me not being able to use Aversa's Night with him.
Thats why I used Fred!Severa
That set up is so idiot proof its not even funny
Real Metal bounces their breast. Deal with it
Wow, thank you! I feel like I can actually do this now. haha.
So, for Morgan/Noire - what does your skillset look like to fit in all stats +2? Considering we have identical mus I figured i'd ask.
That and not to be overly annoying - but what skills do I pass down to the children outside of galefoce and armsthrift? I'm still not confident for the passing of skills.
For me? Since I'm running +Mag/-Str, I'd run a similar set to what I did for Sorcerer!Stahl!Severa in that topic, namely being an Aversa's Night tank:
Galeforce or Vantage/Armsthrift/Luna or Tomefaire/Limit Break/All Stats+2
Galeforce is useful for positioning, but Vantage is good for insurance and might be better since Sorcerers are more enemy phase units than anything. Luna also makes them great for frontliners for Sorcerer + Dark Flier combos, since Luna doesn't proc in the back.
Luna is also the crux of my argument for Stahl!Severa > Lon'qu!Severa as a Sorcerer, since Lon'qu doesn't give her Luna or Tomefaire, meaning that the -1 magic that Stahl gives her is effectively nullified and she does more damage in the long run. (Therefore she heals more and blah blah blah)
As for skills, Galeforce and Dual Support+ for girls without Galeforce are usually what I would advise. For my own pairings, here's what I do:
Chrom/Olivia (Aether or Rightful King, Galeforce)
Avatar(+Spe/-Str)/Tharja (Wrath/Counter, Pavise)
Lissa/Ricken (Galeforce, Tomefaire)
Sully/Donny (Sully/Vaike) (Aegis, Aptitude, Axefaire if using Vaike)
Miriel/Lon'qu (Miriel/Gregor) (Dual Support+, Vantage, Astra, or Armsthrift if using Gregor.)
Sumia/Henry (Galeforce, Wrath)
Maribelle/Libra (Galeforce, Tomefaire)
Panne/Gregor (Panne/Kellam) (Swordbreaker, Axefaire) (Deliverer, Pavise if Panne/Kellam)
Cordelia/Stahl (Galeforce, Swordfaire)
Nowi/Gaius (Swordbreaker, Sol)
Cherche/Frederick (Dual Support+, Pavise or Aegis)
Again, this is only my own advice for trying to get a good overall team with all of the children being good. If you were using a girl or wanted third generation Morgan, I would advise things totally different because the entire dynamic changes.

I don't know. I'd still rather do Stahl!Severa, Kellam!Yarne, and leave Lon'qu single or give him to Tharja over the alternative. Luna makes up for the lack of Tomefaire and Severa gets much better as a frontline Sorcerer thanks to Stahl's extra bulk. Lon'qu's lack of Luna or Tomefaire is a pretty big black mark against him for Sorcerer!Severa. Yarne also gets Pavise, Renewal, and the option to go Great Knight, which I'd rather have than Bowfaire and Paladin.
If Stahl isn't available, though, Lon'qu is probably the best choice, I'd agree.

SazukeEX posted...Lon'qu!Severa
Eh. Stahl is very helpful for a lot of kids while the differences between Lon'qu and Stahl aren't all that different for Severa compared to the boosts he gives other kids.
Severa is going to be the best Non-Morgan/MU Front line anyway with either Lon'qu, Stahl, or Freddy-Bear.
Yarne isn't going to be tanking with Stahl, Frederick, or Kellam as a father. He just wont be good at it and no Gale Force means that he isn't going to be a skirmisher either while his Support Berserker game is amazing. Either way, Kellam, Stahl, or Frederick end up giving him the much wanted DG+.

Apparently a Woman Raped a Man on 'Days Of Our Lives'
We don't follow this daytime soap, but we caught this very dramatic promo and have plenty of questions. Will someone who watches this show enlighten us, please? WTF is going on.
We don't follow this daytime soap, but we caught this very dramatic promo and have plenty of questions. Will someone who watches this show enlighten us, please? WTF is going on.
It's difficult for many of us to survive in this post-Oprah world. She's been relegated to a channel only our grandparents – who were coerced into their extra-super-duper cable package – receive. She's not telling us how to live our lives the way she used to. Since abandoning the common folk to preside over a new…
Today's episode of The View was supposed to boast a double shot of Romney, but when Mitt backed out due to "scheduling conflicts," his nice wife Ann appeared on the program by herself. And when the hosts of the show asked her about issues rather than gently tossing her nice, Ann-appropriate softballs, the outrage…
This morning on Today, Ann Curry wore a simple, adorable A-line shift dress with bright, happy flower appliqués. Charming, summery, fresh. A cursory search reveals that it is the "Fleurty dress" in cream, by Lisa Perry. Price tag? $1295. Repeat: Thirteen hundred U.S. dollars. It's super cute! But — correct me if I am…
And that name is: Anderson. Very creative!
Today, Oprah invited some daytime TV talk-show legends—Ricki Lake, Sally Jesse, Geraldo, Donahue, Montel—to share their experiences of working in the genre. This also provided a great opportunity for Oprah to rub their faces in her ratings.
Anderson Cooper has inked a deal to host a syndicated daytime talk show that's being billed as a possible Oprah replacement. What will this mean for daytime TV, and AC, who remains quiet about his private life?
Today Greyson Chance, the 12-year-old boy who stole our hearts by covering Lady Gaga, appeared on Ellen and confessed he's had some trouble with the ladies. Luckily, Gaga called in to give him a word of advice.
Internal research has shown that for the first time, Ellen DeGeneres has higher likability ratings than Oprah, just in time for the latter's retirement from daytime.
The best thing about Martha being officially out of ideas is it forces her to delve into totally inappropriate and borderline-offensive crafts. Today she made an audience member watch her husband hand roll her a Valentine's bouquet of sexy panties.
Proof you can't trust every haircut you read: "Desimond, you are the father!"
Today on Oprah, Lisa Niemi, Patrick Swayze's wife of 34 years, revealed that they separated for a year because of his drinking. "I didn't want to be there to watch him die," she said. "Not like that." Clip at left.
Judge Judy was on Regis and Kelly this morning and brought her husband, Judge Jerry, to the taping. After noticing his pink shirt, she accused him of dressing up in the hope that he'd be on camera. Clip at left.
While guest hosting Regis and Kelly today Anderson Cooper revealed that he, like Regis Philbin, has won Celebrity Jeopardy. The difference, says AC, is that he won by "many thousands of dollars." Clip at left.
2:16pm EST on ABC's One Life To Live.
2:06pm EST on ABC.
I looked up at my TV at 1:58pm today and saw this. When the old lady at the end came on, I laughed to myself and thought, I wonder if that's Agnes Nixon, 80-year-old prolific soap opera creator. After some digging around I found out it was. She's still alive! And she came on the show, I guess to play the narrator, or…
Good Grief! Amanda Lepore just turned up on Maury, bemusing the audience with the fact that "Amanda was born a man, broke a rib to make her waist smaller and has a doll named after her!"

Celeste "Billie" Browers, 84, of Amarillo died Saturday, April 26, 2003.
Memorial services will be at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in Polk Street United Methodist Church with Dr. James E. Garrett, senior pastor, officiating. Private burial will be by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2820 Virginia Circle.
Mrs. Browers was born in Emhouse on Feb. 8, 1919. She was reared in Tehuacana and received her education in Texas. On June 6, 1937, she married a young ministerial student, J. Walter Browers, and together they served Methodist churches in various places in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico until their retirement in 1985 in Amarillo.
She was a member of Polk Street United Methodist Church; Chapter F.M., P.E.O.; and United Methodist Women. She was a devoted wife, the most wonderful mother and grandmother God ever created, a loving friend to many and a very proud great-grandmother.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Walt.
Survivors include two daughters, Roby Park and husband, Max, of Bloomington, Ind., and Charlotte Moore and husband, Richard, of Hilton Head, S.C.; three grandchildren, Scott Dyer of Algonquin, Ill., Angela Emmett of Bangor, Md., and Rick Moore of Arlington Heights, Ill.; and a great-grandchild, Delaney Joy Dyer.
The family suggests, in lieu of flowers, memorials be to Polk Street United Methodist Church, 1401 S. Polk St., Amarillo, TX 79101; or to Craig Methodist Retirement Community, Benevolent Fund, 5500 W. Ninth Ave., Amarillo, TX 79106.
