3790 Wilshire Blvd.@ Western
Los Angeles, CA 90005 | map |
Website: livenation.com | on Facebook
Opened: Opened October 7, 1931 as the Warner Bros. Western Theatre with "Alexander Hamilton" as the opening attraction.
city refused to close Wilshire Blvd. for the opening, so Warner Bros.
built a temporary bridge across the street as a grand entrance and
called it "The Bridge of Stars." Stars at the opening included Dolores Costello, Loretta Young, Dorothy Mackaill, Joan Blondell and many more. Dick Powell was the MC and Jack Warner put in an appearance.

Newsreel coverage of the event.

building had been commissioned in 1929 by real estate man Henry de Roulet and the
Pellissier family. Since the 1880s the family had had an 80 acre ranch on the property, later subdivided as residential lots. A covenant on the property specified that there would be no commercial development until 1925. And there were legal battles in an attempt to extend that restriction. But finally the real estate office de Roulet had on the corner came down and the Wiltern went up.
The building was known as the Pellissier Building and clad with a special turquoise shade of Gladding-McBean terracotta that came to be known as Pellissier Green.
The new theatre was profiled in a two page article that included four photos in the December 19, 1931 issue of the Motion Picture Herald. The article, "A New Warner Theatre In Uptown Los Angeles," is available on Internet Archive.
Warner Bros had the theatre on a lease from the building's owners but closed it in May 1933 due to poor business. It was reopened about a year later as an independent (managed by Ben Bernstein) and called the Wil Tern or Wil-Tern. Evidently there were several other independent operators and even Fox West Coast had a bit of involvement as well during this period.
The name eventually lost the hyphen and space, becoming the Wiltern Theatre. The redone signage had a hyphen in the name on the front of the marquee but the vertical signs didn't. The 1936 city directory still spelled it Wil-Tern.
"Wait and See Them at the Wiltern" It's a cover from a 1938
program that surfaced on eBay. This was after Warners had left and
the theatre was a second run venue. Among other things on the bill
were a Bogart film and a Porky pig cartoon. Thanks to both
Sean Ault and Michelle Gerdes for finding this one!

Warner Bros. returned as operators in 1939 and it was advertised as Warner's Wiltern and later the Stanley Warner Wiltern. The Warner theatres after the consent decree settlements of the 50s had ended up with a conglomerate assembled from the remains of several studio-owned circuits that was called RKO-Stanley Warner.
In 1956 the building was sold by the Pellissier family to Franklin Life insurance Co. and the building became known as the Franklin Life Building.
Pacific Theatres acquired the theatre from Stanley Warner (along with most of the other southern California RKO-SW holdings) in 1968 and was the final operator for the building as a movie theatre.
It closed in 1979 and was stripped and slated for demolition. It was saved from
the wrecking ball by a 1981 purchase by developer Wayne Ratkovich of (at the time) Ratkovich, Bowers & Perez and restored to
its original opulence by theatre wiz Ray Shepardson and Los Angeles architect
Brenda Levin. In addition to spending $4.8 million on the theatre, the office tower was also renovated as part of the project. The total renovation cost was $9.8 million.
The 1985 project included painting and work on decorative plaster and murals, reproducing original light fixtures, repairing a gaping 30' hole in the auditorium ceiling, reopening and then enlarging the orchestra pit, adding a backstage elevator, refurbishing the dressing rooms, enlarging the stage, installing new stage equipment, a new electrical service (with a transformer vault atop the stage left dressing rooms), carpet and seats.
The building reopened in 1985 (under the management of Bill Graham Presents) with a UCLA sponsored engagement of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.

the Bill Gabel collection. He's got it on the
Photos of Los Angeles Facebook page.

G. Albert Lansburgh did the theatre, Morgan, Walls & Clements did
the exterior, retail spaces and office tower, now known again as the
Pellissier Building. Lansburgh had done an earlier theatre for Warners, the Warner Hollywood, which opened in 1928. See our blogspot posts for more by Lansburgh and MW&C.
The decorator for the theatre was Anthony Heinsbergen. His son Tony worked on the 1984-84 restoration.
Seating: 2,344 originally. It was fully reseated in 1985 but the
main floor seats were removed in a 2002 re-do and the floor leveled into 5 terraces.
The balcony seats remain intact from the 1985 remodel. In 1985, Bill Graham wanted the house mix position in the balcony so some seats were left out for that installation. That area was filled in when the mix position was relocated to the main floor in 1991.
The $2 million renovation in 2002 was a project of Clear Channel Entertainment, who then operated the theatre. In addition to the main floor terraces, the project included flooring over the orchestra pit (which had been enlarged during the 1985 renovation) to provide a dance floor area.
A new deck was installed to bring the stage level up two feet to compensate for the change in sight lines caused by the terraces. The L.A. Times had an August 2001 story about the renovations.
Status: It's a live music venue, now operated by Live Nation.
Pipe Organ: Kimball 4/37, now removed. It was last played in 1979. The organ had come from the Forum Theatre, also a Warner Bros. operation at the time. For information on the Wiltern organ and its 1962 restoration, see Bob Alder's informative website: wilterntheatrepipeorgan.bobalder.com.
The Wiltern in the Movies: The Wiltern Theatre has been used for lots of movie and commercial shoots. In "American Hot Wax" (Paramount,1978) it was the Brooklyn Paramount, complete with change of neon on the marquee and vertical signs.

We're supposedly in New York (of course) in John
Carpenter's "Escape From New York" (Avco Embassy,
1981) but the theatre we go to is the Fox St. Louis on
the outside. Inside, we're in the Wiltern lobby.
The locals are putting on a show in the Wiltern's
auditorium in a shot from "Escape From New York."
The film stars Kurt Russell and Lee Van Cleef.
Yes, it's pretty murky -- we don't see much.

Morris Day checks his hair in the mirror in front of the Wiltern
near the beginning of "Purple Rain" (Warner Bros., 1984). Most
of the opening sequence was shot at the First Avenue Club in
Minneapolis but we get a couple exterior Wiltern shots cut in.
"Get Crazy" with Malcolm McDowell (Embassy, 1983)
Walter Hill's "Streets of Fire" with Diane Lane (Universal,
1984) used the theatre for some concert sequences but we
don't get to see much of the building. Here we get a
murky look from the stage into the auditorium.

The Wiltern is featured as (would you believe?) the Wiltern in the
Chuck Norris thriller "Hero and the Terror" (Cannon/Golan-Globus
Productions, 1988). The mayor comes to the grand opening of the
restored theatre and grouses that he had to spend $14 million of
city money to get the job done. He doesn't know yet that Simon
Moon, a killer known as "The Terror" is hiding out there.
larger view
One of several nice lobby views we get in "Hero and
the Terror." But don't go up to the balcony ladies room
-- that's where ladies are disappearing from.
It's a treat seeing seats on the main floor. The film
spends a LOT of time in the theatre and it's a nice
document of the look between the 1985 restoration and
2002 when the seats got pulled out and the floor terraced.
"Hero and the Terror." We know the killer is in the
theatre somewhere and we're on the search.
We get a fine attic tour in "Hero and the Terror" but it's
not at the Wiltern. Our killer is finally dispatched by falling
through a skylight and then through the theatre's ceiling.
Sorry, there are no skylights in the theatre's attic.
For 19 more shots from "Hero and the Terror"
see our Theatres in Movies post.
The Wiltern lobby is used as the lobby of the
Hotel Earle ("A Day or a Lifetime") in Joel and

Floorplan loans will be included in TALFPosted on
The National Marine Manufacturers Association has succeeded in helping get non-auto floorplan loans included in President Obamas Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility program.
The decision to include floorplan loans in TALF is a significant victory for marine manufacturers and dealers, said NMMA president Thom Dammrich, in a statement. The thousands of calls and e-mails sent to lawmakers in Washington, D.C., leading up to this announcement is a strong testament to the power of our industrys collective voice.
NMMA notes, however, that more work remains to resolve the ongoing problem of credit liquidity and lending constraints.
The Marine Retailers Association of America issued a Dealer Alert this week to encourage retailers to support NMMAs efforts.

Before the recent Blairsville Elks 406 Ladies Auxiliary meeting was called to order, the newly installed exalted ruler, Leann Chaney, paid a visit. She gave a short talk about what her plans are for the year. She was thanked for her courtesy in introducing herself, and the club gave her their pledge to help her in any way they can to make her year successful.
The annual card party, benefiting the auxiliary scholarship fund, was held on April 22. Thank-yous went to Jane Potochniak and her committee for the success.
The scholarship committee unanimously selected three students to receive scholarships, and they were invited to attend the June meeting. The club also has a new member to be initiated at the June meeting.
The advisory board for this year was voted on and approved. It will consist of officer Shirley Jones, trustee Jane Potochniak, and members Jean Shepherd, Evelyn Bondra and Mary Ann Thomas.
Ginny Profeta was the Good of the Order winner.
Pat Stoklosa and Edna Torok served a lunch of pizza and two salads along with coffee.
The tables were decorated in red, white and blue tablecloths with alternating red and blue plates and silverware, and there were red, white and blue spring centerpieces. Everything was delicious and very festive.
All bills were approved for payment.
Nancy Shurina, Jane Potochniak and Kathy Heckman will host the June 4 meeting.

Join Paul Trani for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding bones to a character, part of Creating Animation Projects with Flash Professional CS5.
Flash is very powerful when creating animation, especially when it comes to character animation, and that's what I want to do with this file in particular. This movie clip, if I double-click on it, this is the character that I ultimately want to animate, but I first need to give it some structure. But what it's made up of currently are a bunch of different movie clips. So I've taken the silhouette, and I have broken out the different body parts into separate movie clips that I now want to join together, so you can't move them independently.
So that's what I want to do, and the first thing I am going to do is zoom in on all these graphics. And I am going to link each one of these movie clips together using the Bone tool. So I'll select the Bone tool, and I am going to start down here at the base, and all I need to do is just do a click and drag from this space, and what I'm about to create is this armature. I'll just do a click and drag from the upper body to the stomach, and now I've connected those two.
Now, let's connect the stomach with the waist right here, just do a click and drag to the waist, go from the waist to the upper leg right here. Then I am going to go from this upper leg to this lower leg, but I actually want to connect right to this knee right here, because I want this to be the rotation point. So I'll just click and drag to that knee. Let's go from the knee to the foot. Again, I want to kind of determine where the joint is going to be, the rotation point, and then release.
Then let's go from the foot to this toe, and I'll show you why I added that toe in a little bit. But in general, what I've done is I've added the structure to this character, and I can just go ahead and use my Selection tool. And now all of a sudden our character is swimming, or doing whatever we want this character to do. But it's not without its issues because notice how the base moves. So that's one thing I want to take care of right now, and then I'll take care of some of the other rotation issues.
But this base moving around is because of this armature is moving around as well. So I need to lock down this armature. So I am going to select that armature, and I am going to go to the Properties panel, and in the Properties panel, it gives me all the properties for this bone or this armature. But in general, I'm going to disable the Rotation. So I am going to uncheck that. Now, I can go ahead and move the lower body without the upper body moving.
So far so good, but still we have some issues because, of course, the knee wouldn't quite bend that way. I need to lock that down now. So I am going to go ahead and stretch out her leg like that and let me just zoom in on this armature right here. Again, I don't want it to rotate 360 degrees. I want to constrain it. So with that armature selected, I am going to go to the Joint Rotation and check Constrain.
When I do that, I am given this sort of rotation area. So there's the minimum, and then there's the maximum that it can rotate, and this is its current position. So if I just scale down the Max to where it aligns up, again with that line because I don't want it to extend any more to the right, then it will be constrained. So let's just try that. Sure enough, it doesn't go beyond that point. The next coordinate I want to change which is going to be - if I select that armature there - is going to be the Minimum.
So I am going to take the Minimum down because I want to be able to rotate the knee around more as well. Again, I'm able to constrain any rotation just by selecting that armature and then adjusting the minimum and the maximum. This is much more appropriate. I do have the same problem with the foot, and that's why I've actually connected this armature from the foot to the toe. I don't have any plans to animate the toe, but what that does give me the ability to do is rotate this foot.
I do want to rotate the foot some, just not that much. So again it's a matter of selecting the armature, checking Constrain, and then controlling the minimum and maximum that you want this foot to rotate. Again, it's not going to be that much, but I do want to have a little bit of sort of natural movement with this foot as well. So let's just do a couple of more edits, kind of like that. We will increase the maximum, and then there we have it. So the foot rotates just fine. So far, so good.
I'm going to hold down the Spacebar and pan over here. You might run into a case also where your movie clip might be off a little bit, as you start to rotate your character. So what I need to do in this case is I need to move this leg over a touch. I am going to do that really fast by just holding down the Option key or Alt key if you are on the Mac, and you can move that movie clip independent of the other movie clips. That allows me to kind of move out that movie clip appropriately, and then I can even use the Free Transform tool to position it as well.
So you still have a lot of control, even once you add the structure for your character. So let me go ahead and zoom out to about 200%, maybe about 100%, just to see this person's body and again, I can go ahead and straighten them out. That's what I want something more like say a perfect handstand, and I can do a couple more tweaks if I want to, using the Free Transform tool, because I want a perfect handstand for this character.
Because if I go back to scene 1, I can now position this character to become the L for the word "Style." It's set up, so I can actually just link movie clips, and manipulate them together as if they're one complete unit. But this is set up for me to go ahead and add some animation to it as well.

She is a member of the Republican Party. Ellmers defeated seven-term Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge in 2010 by 1,489 votes, confirmed after a recount. In the 2016 Republican primary, Ellmers was defeated by fellow Congressman George Holding.[2]

Early life, education, and nursing career[edit]
Ellmers was born Renee Jacisin in Ironwood, Michigan, the daughter of Caroline Pauline (née Marshalek) and LeRoy Francis Jacisin. Her father was of Czech and French-Canadian descent and her mother was of Croatian and Polish ancestry.[3] She moved to Madison Heights as a child, when her father got a job in the automobile industry. She graduated from Madison High School.[4] Ellmers paid her way through Oakland University by working various jobs, training as a medical assistant.[5] In 1990, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.[6][7] Ellmers worked as a nurse in Beaumont Hospital's surgical intensive care unit. In North Carolina, she was clinical director of the Trinity Wound Care Center in Dunn.[4]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
- 2010
Ellmers became involved in politics after the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which she opposed. She became involved in local Republican politics and joined Americans for Prosperity, a free-market political advocacy group.[6] She sought the Republican Party nomination for Congress in North Carolina's 2nd congressional district, which was then held by seven-term incumbent Bob Etheridge. She faced car dealer Todd Gailas and retired businessman Frank Deatrich in the May 4, 2010 Republican primary. She raised and spent more money than her opponents. She won the Republican primary with 55% of the vote,[6] winning every county in the district except Franklin.[8][9]
In June, a physical altercation between U.S. Congressman Bob Etheridge and two young men claiming to be students working on a project [10] was posted to the internet.[11] The previously obscure Ellmers was highlighted by conservative blogs such as RedState and the National Review's The Corner.[12] Donations increased markedly,[13] and a SurveyUSA poll showed Ellmers ahead by one percent.[14] Ellmers received an endorsement from former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin on August 18 through Facebook, citing Ellmers' experience in the health care industry.[15] Palin endorsed Ellmers along with three other women, on the 90th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States.[16]
On election day, November 2, 2010, Ellmers was declared the winner by the media and a recount conducted on November 17 and 18 confirmed that she defeated Bob Etheridge during the general election by a margin of 0.8% or 1,483 votes.[17][18]
- 2012
The Republicans won control of the General Assembly in the 2010 election as well, and used the redistricting process to make the 2nd friendlier for Ellmers. They pushed the district well to the west to take in some heavily Republican territory between Raleigh and Greensboro. The two sections were connected by a narrow tendril sweeping from Fayetteville through Ellmers' home in Dunn to Raleigh. While Barack Obama won the old 2nd with 52 percent of the vote—one of the few majority-white districts in the South that went for Obama—John McCain would have carried the new 2nd with 57 percent of the vote.
Three Republicans decided to challenge her in the primary, but all of them were first-time candidates. She won the May 8 primary with 56% of the vote.[19] In the November general election, Ellmers defeated Democratic nominee Steve Wilkins, a retired US Army officer and Moore County businessman, 56%–41%.[20]
- 2014
Ellmers considered running for the U.S. Senate in 2014,[21] but instead ran for re-election. In May 2014 primary she faced conservative Internet talk show host Frank Roche, who campaigned mainly against her support of immigration reform.[22] Ellmers easily won the nomination, capturing 58% of the vote to Roche's 41%.[23] "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken won the Democratic nomination after a close primary.[24] Ellmers secured the seat again with a margin of 36,649 votes from Second District voters.[25]
- 2016
When the North Carolina congressional districts were redrawn in 2016, the 2nd was made significantly more compact, losing much of its territory near Greensboro. It now took in a large chunk of the area represented by the former 13th district, forcing Ellmers into a primary challenge with George Holding, whose former district number was moved to the Triad area of North Carolina. Ellmers contended that Holding wasn't qualified to run in the district since he lived just outside its borders. However, the new 2nd was geographically more Holding's district than Ellmers'.[26] In the June 7th primary, she lost her primary campaign to Holding by an almost 30 point margin, coming in second by just 0.6% over third-place Greg Brannon.
In September 2011, Ellmers told students at Campbell University that she opposed a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions because it was too broad. A spokesman said "Congresswoman Ellmers has always believed that marriage is a sacred institution and is defined as the union between one man and one woman...As a voter, she would vote against a piece of legislation that would add a ban on civil unions to the protection of marriage since they are two different issues and should be dealt with separately."[27] It was reported in July 2014 that she told a meeting of Republican women, ""Men do tend to talk about things on a much higher level," Ellmers said. "Many of my male colleagues, when they go to the House floor, you know, they've got some pie chart or graph behind them and they're talking about trillions of dollars and how, you know, the debt is awful and, you know, we all agree with that.... "We need our male colleagues to understand that if you can bring it down to a woman's level and what everything that she is balancing in her life – that's the way to go," Ellmers concluded.[28]
She supported the Budget Control Act of 2011 saying "It's not 100 percent of what many of our very conservative colleagues want, but it is about 70-75 percent. This is not about who's the most conservative. This is about common sense."[29]
Ellmer serves as the current chairwoman of the Republican Women's Policy Committee.[30] In 2015, she led five other Republican women in opposing a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks.[citation needed][31]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Committee on Energy and Commerce
Sponsored legislation[edit]
The White House Accountability Act[edit]
On March 26, 2015, Ellmers sponsored a bill called The White House Accountability Act (H.R.1693). She introduced the bill as her response to President Obama issuing an executive order to cease deportation of undocumented immigrants.[32][33] The bill is aimed at funds Congress appropriated for White House salaries and expenses for fiscal year 2015. If passed, the bill would rescind any funds left that have not yet been spent.[34]
Fairness for Farmers Act[edit]
On March 17, 2015, Ellmers sponsored the Fairness for Farmers Act of 2015. The bill would give an exemption to agricultural farming companies from the section of the Affordable Care Act that mandates health insurance coverage for employers that have more than 50 employees.[35]
Vaccine Access, Certainty, and Innovation Act[edit]
On February 5, 2015, Ellmers introduced H.R. 786: Vaccine Access, Certainty, and Innovation Act of 2015. Democratic Congressman G.K. Butterfield cosponsored the bill. The trade association for biotechnology companies (the Biotechnology Industry Organization, "BIO") supported the bill. If passed into law, the bill would make the work conducted by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) more transparent and consistent toward the goal of developing recommendations for vaccines; create a formal process for the Centers for Disease Control to meet regularly with companies that make vaccines; and prompt Medicare to promptly pay for vaccines for senior citizens.[36]
Personal life[edit]
Ellmers met her husband Brent Ellmers, a surgeon, while working at Beaumont Hospital. After the birth of their son Ben, the family moved to Dunn, North Carolina, where Ellmers and her husband ran a practice.[6]
Ellmers, a Roman Catholic,[37] is a "family values" Republican with Christian values. She has said "As a mom, Christian and nurse, my beliefs have deepened through experience... I am pro-family."[38]
In October 2015, Ellmers was accused of having an affair with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who had unexpectedly dropped out of the race for Speaker of the House shortly before the allegations surfaced.[39][40] Days earlier, Representative Walter B. Jones, Jr. had sent a letter to the Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers stating that any candidates for a leadership position with "misdeeds" should withdraw from the race.[41] Both Ellmers and McCarthy have denied the allegations.[39]

I'm confused about cyclomethicone & its removal according to the following because I have a product with cyclomethicone as the first ingredient (& dimethiconol as the second). Could someone please clarify this for me? Thanks in advance!
Per http://www.naturallycurly.com/phpBB/...ic.php?t=45874, page two I believe:
Per http://www.naturallycurly.com/phpBB/...ic.php?t=45874, page two I believe:
Per http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlco...es.php?id=5341The type of product would not effect buildup; however, the amount of cyclomethicone in a product would.
For example, a conditioner that has cyclomethicone as the 10th ingredient is going to have less of it and will buildp slower than a conditioner with cyclomethicone (or cyclopentasiloxane, more commonly) as the second or third ingredient. Likewise, if a serum is primarily dimethicone and cyclomethicone is lower on the list, it would buildup slower than a primarily cyclomethicone serum like Frizz Ease.
Conditioners generally will have less cyclomethicone than a serum because it is a heavier, more substantial cone. Conditioners are more frequently having cyclopentasiloxane as the second ingredient after water, and these would build up slower than a cyclopentasiloxane serum that has cyclopentasiloxane as the first ingredient.
Silicone Cyclomethicone Water soluble? No Recommended cleansing agents cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, other mild surfactants, or conditioner washing

Which Photo Sharing Site Is For You?
I have tried several sites. ImageShack, Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, and then this year Photobucket.
I use ImageShack and Photobucket mostly for image hosting (especially posting pictures in the blog or forum). Here is the comparison between Flickr and Photobucket (sharing vs hosting).
As for Flickr vs Picasa Web (i. e., sharing but also allowing to link pictures, there are many many discussions in the blogs. For instance, Digital Inspiration chose Flickr as a winner; on the other hand, Kishor concluded that for free account go for Picasa Web and for a pro account it's Flickr, which I agree.
My Experience:
I wanted a free account for my private photos and another one for linking pictures. I chose Picasa Web for the former. It has 1GB for free account and it is integrated with Picasa. I have used Picasa for organizing photos and simple adjustment on photos (contrast and light etc) and it's also quite handy to upload the photos from it.
Flickr's free account limits on the bandwidth per month (not the total size of your photos), only shows the latest 200 photos in your account, allows only three sets for slideshow. These points are inconvenient for me.
One biggest drawback in Picasa Web is that they don't have a community like Flickr's. But this isn't a big deal for me, because I only share my private photos with friends. If this is important to you, then you better go for Flickr (pro).
Desktop Photo Software:
Picasa is easy to use and is free. Picasa doesn't overwrite your original photos. If you like the modification, you need to export the photo, which will show the changes you made. In this tutorial, it demonstrates what you can do to tune up your photos. As for the organization part, check out this article, "Organize your digital photos with Picasa".
If you want to upload photos to Flickr from Picasa, you can install this plug-in, picasa2flickr.

I like http://www.prestoshare.com/ they don't limit bandwidth, or the amout you upload.
sami permalinkJune 12, 2009 6:23 pm
I have tried some of the more well known sites already (Flickr, SmugMug, Picasa and some smaller ones)
The ones that I have come to really like are snapfish and BlueMelon. They are simple to use and allow you to organizate your photos without any limits to the number of albums/categories in a tree. BlueMelon offers a good set of uploaders – java, flash and a downloadable java application to completely manage the entire collection and as such is accessible to anyone. Snapfish has got a fine uploader as well.
There are two major differences : snapfish offers unlimited storage with the problem that they resize your pictures once they are of a higher quality and this makes it unsuitable for both storing and presenting your high-quality photos. As of BlueMelon : the originals of the images are stored on the servers, but there is 1GB of free storage available – this, however, is usually more than enough and for 25 USD a year you get unlimited storage.
Both of them are simple and BlueMelon offers some features that snapfish does not.
Now you just need to take your pick or (like me) use them both.

Keywords: Hamptons Home
We bought this house to have somewhere outside the city to enjoy with our kids. The pool, deck, BBQ and chef kitchen make this house a great escape for us on the weekends and in the summer, and the kids love spending summers in the pool. The yard also provides hours of fun for the kids to run around while we enjoy entertaining with our friends on the deck.
The Owner purchased this house in 2009
We bought this home in East Quogue because we wanted an easy "escape" out of NYC. Less than 90 miles from NYC makes a weekend trip to the hamptons very easy and commutable!!
This property sits on a beautiful plot with relaxing scenic woods surrounding it that make it feel very secluded even though its so close to civilization.
Amazing house in perfect location. We had been renting in Montauk for many years, but needed a closer place so Larry could get in and out of NYC. This was the nicest house we have ever rented. Incredible AV system which the kids still talk about, spectacular open kitchen , great pool and deck and so much space so the kids are not underfoot ever. We will be back for sure.
The pictures on this web site of the house doesn't even come close. This house is just beautiful. The house is spacious and the outside of it is just wonderful. My family had a family reunion at the house and we left with some wonderful memories. We truly enjoyed the pool and the Hut Tub. The owner was extremely helpful and we would truly love to visit again in the near future.

The Benefit of Many Winners
Now that the college football season is finally past, the headlines have abated, and all eyes are on the professional extravaganza of the Super Bowl, we might take a look at that hardy perennial argument: college football bowl games vs. a possible national championship tournament. Those of us who find ourselves in the college football environment often discover that our friends and relatives, colleagues and students, eagerly engage this question.
Triggered in part by the endless controversy over the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) selection process and nurtured by the extravaganza of the NCAA's Division I college basketball tournament, many observers champion a revision of big time college football's bowl system to construct a championship process for the teams in Division I-A, following the model of the NCAA Division I-AA tournament. (I know the official NCAA designations are Bowl Division and Championship Division but old habits die hard.)
The drama turns on that desperate American need to establish who is Number One in everything every year. Whether best dressed, best movie, best college, best hot dog, or best college football team, Americans cannot abide the possibility that Number One is an irrelevancy among high quality products, and that the difference between any Number One and the Numbers Two through Five or more is likely to be minuscule and accidental. Still, we love our Number One.
So the first knock against the bowl games is that they do not produce a real champion but a constructed champion. For those who do not follow these things, the current system uses a variety of rankings by computers, by coaches, and by sports writers to determine which two teams play for the title of National Champion in a bowl game. The rest of the teams, in more or less descending order by the ranking system, get bids to participate in less significant bowl games. All the bowl games are played after the regular season ends beginning in early December and continuing until early January, with the title bowl game played at the end of the sequence, this year on January 8.
Many people are not aware that the college football bowl games do not belong to the NCAA but rather are commercial enterprises of the bowl venues (the stadiums and communities that house them) that negotiate with the football conferences. The current bowl championship system emerged as the premier football conferences and the major bowl venues developed a system to permit a final game between the two highest ranked teams in the nation in a format that would generate the most interest and money. By every measure of interest, participation, ticket sales, advertising, and television revenue, the current big-time bowl system is a huge success.
However, because the top level of competition is structured by rankings derived from computer and expert polls, many object that the top two ranked teams may not be the best because the rankings are mathematical or opinion based and may not actually pit the very best contenders against each other as might happen to some extent in a tournament format. Hence, the Number One crowd argues for a Division I-A football tournament.
In contrast, Division I-AA, which is made up of conferences and institutions that support football at a somewhat reduced scale and with significantly reduced expenses, concludes its season with a football tournament that pits teams selected by conference and by various other criteria against each other to produce a final game between presumably the two best teams in Division I-AA in America. This activity is controlled by the NCAA on behalf of the conferences and institutions in this division.
So which is best? A reasonable academic response might be: Who cares? But as many pure academics have discovered, many people really care. So let me offer a perspective on these competitions.
The money is important, but truth be told, the money is really significant mainly for the top bowls. Even then, while these bowls pay out a good sum, the money almost always goes to the conference, not the institution, and the conference shares the revenue among its 10 to 12 members. Twenty-two bowls pay between $750,000 and $1.65 million; five pay between $2 million and $6 million, and the five BCS bowls pay out at $14 million to $17 million. Although the payday is important for the top bowls, only the top 10 meet or exceed the likely cost of participation. The rest of the Division I-A teams participate for the value of the experience because the money does not fully compensate for the cost of competing in the bowl game.
The impartiality of a tournament for establishing the best of the best among football teams is not quite as effective as we might imagine. In the case of Division I-AA, of the 16 participants in that football tournament, 8 participants are selected as a result of winning their conference. The remaining eight participants are chosen by a committee from the remaining members of those conferences and from among 49 other teams in Division I-AA. While the committee is surely wise in its choices, it is no more wise than the people and computers who select the participants in the Division I-A bowl games, and the Division I-AA tournament may or may not include the truly best teams competing for the position of Number One.
Another perspective on these end-of-season events evaluates the odds of participating. Division I-AA has 106 football teams that compete in their conferences with the hope of participating in the tournament. The tournament field, however, has space for only 16 teams, which means only 15 percent of the eligible football teams have a shot at a postseason experience. As a result of the tournament format, only two teams can participate in the championship final game, and of course, only one emerges as a winner. When it is all over, in Division I-AA, only one football team and its fans can celebrate a victorious end of season achievement. We have one winner to be sure, but we have 105 losers.
Division I-A, however, has 119 teams eligible for a postseason bowl game. This past season, 32 bowl games provided opportunities for 64 teams to have an end of season competition on national television. Over half of the NCAA Division I-A football teams had a shot at winning a postseason final game. At the close of the bowl games, 32 teams, or 26 percent of Division I-A, returned to their campuses winners with a trophy from a postseason bowl game. Clearly the college teams in Division I-A have a much better chance of participating in a postseason event and securing a triumphant return than do the teams in Division I-AA who are stuck with a tournament.
Postseason football is also significantly about the event, the engagement of alumni, friends, donors, legislators, trustees, students and fans in an extravaganza of enthusiasm and good cheer about the campus's team. It should be a fine party. The postseason event offers the possibility of a televised activity highlighting the university campus, its spirit, its enthusiasm, and of course its ability to be a winner. This potent form of advertising helps universities seeking the visibility that translates into high rankings in popular opinion polls and the value of these celebratory moments are significant in recruiting students and obviously student-athletes.
When we have a bowl game to look forward to, we can plan and organize around the event for maximum alumni, student, fan and donor impact. We can establish the transportation and housing packages, we can create appropriate pre- and postgame events, and we can produce effective publicity. The better the bowl game, usually, the longer time we have between the receipt of a bowl bid and the actual game, but in any case, we can focus all our postseason activity around this final event and make sure everyone has a fine time.
In Division I-AA however, with the disadvantage of a tournament format, the postseason event is exceptionally difficult to organize. Even if we defy the odds and become one of the 16 tournament schools, we do not know how to focus our event planning. If we focus on the first game of the tournament, the only one we can be sure we will play, we can have a good time but everyone will know it is not the main event, which is the final game. They will wonder if they should save their trip time and money for the next game in the tournament, assuming we win the first one, or take the even longer odds bet on our getting into the final game.
For those who last to the final game of the tournament (two teams) their athletes and all the accompanying student support people will have had a very long football season with four postseason contests. While this is a lot of extra games, it only affects 16 teams at the beginning and two at the end. In the bowl scenarios, the postseason is indeed extended chronologically into early January, but only for one extra game (the bowl), even though 64 teams will have a one-game postseason appearance.
If they bet on our getting into the final game, but we do not make it, then those fans, friends, donors and students who waited will not have any post-game event, even though we made it to the semifinals. If we do get into the final game, we have only a limited time to organize and deliver a significant event, and the attendance is often severely limited because people have not anticipated this highly unlikely result. Worse yet, among all those 106 Division I-AA teams, only one goes home a winner and only two can claim to have participated in a real, end of season, event.
The Division I-AA tournament also costs the institutions money and the more successful the team, the more money it costs. While the NCAA allocates funds for the team and various other expenses, they do not pay for the band, they pay only for a few VIPs, and they do not pay for the parties. As a result, if we go all the way, and if we support each game as if it might be the last one we play, we accumulate financial losses as we succeed in the tournament. In Division I-A, in the top 10 bowls or so, the teams and conferences make money by attending the bowl.
The rest of the bowls pay a reasonable amount, but not enough to cover the cost of participation, so the teams in these bowl games lose money -- but then again, they only lose on one game and they get an event worth having for the expenditure. They get a party, they get to mobilize their fans, and they have a 50 percent chance of ending the season as a winner. They will be on television, their potential recruits for next and subsequent years and high school students considering applying to the campus will see the event and the campus highlighted.
With all that, I tell our athletics director we should try to invent and participate in a Division I-AA bowl game. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen. The NCAA likes the I-AA tournament because it controls the tournament. The football winner-take-all crowd likes the tournament because in spite of its selection defects, it appears to create a Number One. The possible venues for Division I-AA bowl games are more likely to bid on yet another Division I-A bowl rather than take on the regulatory and revenue risk of trying to create a high quality Division I-AA bowl property.
So the reality check here is that we are not likely to get any improvement in the end of season activities for our division for quite some time. The moral of the story is that Division I-A should continue to develop, refine, defend, and market their terrifically successful and institutionally rewarding bowl games.

I recently got problem with high idle on my Ford Mondeo Ghia 2004 2.0l
When I press down the clutch while driving it hangs around 2k-3k rpm.
When I stop at redlight it usually slowly go down to around 1k rpm, if I press the break it usually goes down faster.
When the engine is warm and running steady around 1k rpm, I tried to disconnect the IAC but it's not noticeable, should not the rpm decrease or engine stall if I disconnect it?
When driving whithout the IAC connected. The car runs more smoothly, and no high rpm's while pressing down the clutch.
I think the IAC is working as it should though, when it's connected I can see that it compensates when turning on the AC.
My guess is vacuum leaks, I sprayed with gas but can't seem to find a leak.
Read that it's common with leak on a PVC pipe, where is this pipe located?
Is there any other common places for vacuum leaks?
Do you have any other ideas what might be the problem?
Best Regards,

Some designer collaborations can come across as a bit iffy. But that Louise Gray has collaborated with Topshop doesn't just make sense, it was basically obligatory. Gray's crayon box of colours, patchwork clashes and bold eccentricities are the kind that are catnip to London's youth, and what better way to reach them en masse?
Gray's spring / summer 2013 collection brought all of that colourful madness by the bucketloads. You could imagine her London fashion week (LFW) models having emerged from a giant craft-slash-dressup box having patched together an outfit with fabric scraps, newspaper clippings, glue and scissors.
But if that description makes Gray's collection sound like a hot mess, it's not intended to. There's always method to Gray's madness, and all of these outfits worked within the bounds of her aesthetic. And of course, off the runway you don't have to wear it all at once: individually each dress, jacket or pair of leggings has its own cool factor that'll work on a different level without the clashes.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/12/2010 (2369 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Boissevain farmer killed in a plane crash Wednesday was remembered as someone who "loved to fly" and fought successfully for airport changes to improve safety for the flying community.
Art Peters, 62, was alone in his single-engine 1969 Cessna 172K when it crashed in a farmer's field about five kilometres northwest of Boissevain. The area was blanketed by heavy fog during the crash at 2:11 p.m.
Ten firefighters rushed to the scene, some using snowmobiles and walking through thigh-high drifts to reach the isolated crash site.
Peters was a local farmer in Boissevain and his neighbours remembered him as a hard-working man.
He operated West-Gro Seeds Service Ltd., selling seed to other farmers in the area. In his spare time, he liked horseback riding and skiing in Alberta with his family.
"He was a farmer," said a neighbour. "But he loved to fly."
Peters was married and leaves behind three adult sons, two of whom live in Boissevain and one who lives in Alberta.
Longtime friend and business partner, Wes Froese, described Peters as a good man who cared for his community.
"I really respected him and I'm very sorry to see him gone," Froese said. "He was a good guy, honest and energetic, enthusiastic and community-minded."
In January 2008, Peters spearheaded a petition calling for upgrades to the Brandon airport, particularly an instrument landing system.
Installation of a $1.6-million ILS system, which supplies precision guidance for aircraft approaching the runway, was completed earlier this year.
A fellow Boissevain pilot Wednesday night fondly remembered flying alongside Peters, chatting over their radio systems about the community and the weather while they flew.
"I'd be flying and he'd be flying," he said. "And we'd talk."
"He was a big farmer around Boissevain," he said. "He farmed a lot of acres because that was his passion."
Wednesday night, police and the Transportation Safety Board remained at the scene of the crash.
Boissevain RCMP Sgt. Rob Vachon said an early investigation indicates Peters' plane was leaving Boissevain when it crashed.
It was foggy in the area during the morning, Vachon said, and about 90 minutes after the crash, conditions were also foggy and windy with snow beginning to fall.
However, Vachon didn't have specifics of weather conditions at the time of the crash.
Boissevain is a town of about 1,500 people near the U.S. border south of Brandon.

Rossellini unsure if films can make money online
By Kristina Cooke
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While Isabella Rossellini enjoyed her foray into new media with her short films about insect sex, she is not sure they could turn a profit, given that so much content is available on the Internet for free.
While a strike by screenwriters recently brought television and movie production to a halt over the issue of Internet royalties, actors and directors are also concerned about what they should earn for work distributed online, Rossellini told a panel discussion at New York's Tribeca Film Festival.
"It is unclear how the money comes back," said Rossellini, 55, who wrote, directed and featured in a series of short films about the sex life of insects called "Green Porno" that were made for the screens of cell phones, iPods and laptops.
Rossellini, who after years of acting and modeling is one of the world's most recognizable faces, said it was easy for her to be experimental with the backing of Robert Redford and the Sundance Channel, but added she was still trying to work out how to make money in new media.
Her 20 minutes worth of short films cost $70,000 to make, out of which she paid herself $3,000.
"My agent won't like me saying this, but I have a lot of time on my hands and I have money saved from my modeling days, so I can work for very little money, I have that possibility," she said. "But I do feel sorry for people who try to make a living out of this because the money's not there."
Rossellini said she was particularly protective of artists given that her mother, Ingrid Bergman, was paid a modest salary while working on the hit "Casablanca" movie and never saw a penny in royalties.
After the damaging 100-day strike by screenwriters ended in February, major Hollywood studios and the main actors' union are now in contract talks that also feature the issue of Internet royalties. Continued...

The last 3 years has been all "watch this in 3D" and "watch that in 3D".
At its core, this was all motivated by industry trying to make - pretty big - extra profits from 3D by having 3D screenings in cinemas, special 3D BluRays, 3D TVs et cetera et cetera.
Now 2 cinematographers express their reservations against 3D to the BBC, and its all "anti 3D propaganda"?
We live in a free world. People have the right to express that 3D doesn't work for them.
Especially if you are a professional cinematographer who has been in the business for 30 years...
I don't see anything wrong with the BBC article. I think that it is interesting, especially since the cinematographers quoted explain in some detail why they don't like 3D.

Tyrese Gibson Pushing Back Tour Dates
Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:07:04
Tyrese Gibson Videos
With the release of Open Invitation, Tyrese Gibson's fifth studio album in five years, the singer has taken a leap of faith and bet on the right horse: himself. However, tour dates had to be cut short due to scheduling conflicts with multiple projects. He is a busy man, and can't be in two places at once, so he has had to resched a batch of dates.
These dates include stops in North and South America, France, Holland and the United Kingdom. "I am forever grateful to my fans and supporters in the US, as well as overseas, and because of a new film commitment, I am happy to reschedule these shows rather than cancel them. I look forward to seeing y'all in the fall."
Fans should go here for updates on new performance dates.
Do you plan to catch Tyrese in the fall?

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that there is some mature material, including the fact that the main character is a con man who never considers the impact that his lies and scams may have or the risks he is taking. It includes some non-explicit sexual situations and a negotiation with a call girl. A character says that her parents refuse to see her following her out of wedlock pregnancy and abortion. Characters drink and smoke and use strong language. The scene where Frank's parents tell him they are getting a divorce may be upsetting to some.

I'm having an issue setting up dual displays with one main and one secondary (I had it working on BT5 Gnome 32-bit), I'm running BT5 KDE 32-bit when I put my main monitor (VGA-0) on absolute in KRandRTray and my secondary (DVI-0) in Right of VGA-0 it keeps it as Clone of VGA-0. I don't know how to fix it, I've been reading about xorg.conf files, but when I edit those they don't do anything. If anyone has a fix on this or knows of a thread with similar problems please let me know.

Jennifer Lopez's "Dance Again" Concert Movie will Include Divorce Story
Not afraid to share her struggles with fans, Jennifer Lopez's 3-D concert movie will include her painful divorce from Marc Anthony.
Entitled "Jennifer Lopez: Dance Again," the film will span the last few years in the 43-year-old superstar's life, and will give fans a glimpse into the world of J-Lo.
In an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, Ms. Lopez explains the decision to include the break-up in the documentary, sharing, "I'd been through a big change in my life with the divorce and everything, and as crazy as we are, we thought, 'Let's put that on camera!'"
Currently, Jen is gearing up for her 10th album, and earlier this week released the first single with Pitbull, called "Live It Up."
