Ah… ah… ah… FLU!
December 7th, 2012
Wednesday afternoon at work I felt something coming on. Couldn't tell if it was a cold or what, then yesterday I woke up with a temperature of 100.2. This morning it's 102.3. So it must be some strain of flu. I figure It's my fault for going to New York to see the Monkees. I'm always punished for having a good time.
And now my right hip suddenly feels like it's been hit with a baseball bat. Somebody please put me out of my misery. Suggestions include hanging, like the Bing Crosby song in my last post, or you can set the cats on me.

That's why you call it "funishment!" But it was worth it, wasn't it?

Pizza Delicious Restaurant Review: Two Tulane University students, Michael Friedman and Greg Augarten, started baking and delivering pizzas to pay their tuition. Their success demanded a permanent location, so they opened this full-service pizzeria. A limited menu of pies is supplemented by occasional specials. If you're lucky, you'll encounter the puttanesca pizza with olives, capers, garlic and anchovies. Several beers and Italian wines by the glass are available. The best ending to a Pizza Delicious meal is the house gelato with rosemary shortbread. Note: The place still delivers to many surrounding neighborhoods, via couriers on bicycles. |

[edit] ToDo
- most of sightseeing attractions: list and describe. Currently we have much fewer than an average paper guide --DenisYurkin 18:10, 9 January 2007 (EST)
- Castle: details on museums and the rest of what's inside. --DenisYurkin 15:27, 10 January 2007 (EST)
- Put all listings in Wikitravel format (this will also help in completing the above tasks, as blank spots will show where information is lacking) ChubbyWimbus 21:21, 6 May 2010 (EDT)
- Bikaver: we need a much more detailed story this article primarily, not elsewhere. --DenisYurkin 18:11, 9 January 2007 (EST)
- real reports and experience about every hotel we have listed; currently they look merely like added by touts (even if they were not) --DenisYurkin
- outdoor activities: list (if not describe) most activities available in Eger and around. We've experienced horseback riding and seen motor paragliding in winter, but I'm sure it's much more in summer, esp. judging by number of outdoor equipment stores. --DenisYurkin 18:10, 9 January 2007 (EST)
- Replace all of the indefinite/guessing language ("seems to", questions marks) with some solid, verified information about the activities and what you can and cannot do. ChubbyWimbus 21:14, 6 May 2010 (EDT)
- wine cellars and csardas: we need feedback, recommendations and open hours/months on cellars and csardas at least several that wikitravellers liked. --DenisYurkin 18:15, 9 January 2007 (EST)
- which wines/how to choose and where to buy: more help and recommendations. --DenisYurkin 18:22, 9 January 2007 (EST)
- where & how to buy wine directly from the makers (producer locations? wine cellars? producer-affiliated shops? ). --DenisYurkin 08:24, 27 January 2007 (EST)
[edit] Hunguest Hotel Flóra
I removed the phrase
- ...offering comfort and various services
as I can't see how it can be useful for traveller selecting an accomodation. Can anyone comment what specifically was meant by that so we can return it with more specifics? --DenisYurkin 17:38, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Winnie said: Is it worth buying the original PS2 title? It's currently $20 at EB, and I'm thinking of getting it, as I, like most other sane PS3 owners, will be getting Killzone 2 when it comes out.
callan5 said: I dont know about you guys but man i get so sick and tired of hearing this everytime i hear about Killzone 2 "but the first killzone was s**t so why would this one be any better"..........This isnt the first Killzone, this is Killzone 2 and the developers know where they went wrong and know what improvements need to be made. This will be brilliant
Winnie said: Yeah, you can definitely tell it's an unfinished game. Almost everytime you die, it shows your character but the ragdoll physics has the body all over the place. The game is getting better for me now, though. Although I hate it how the guns have so much recoil and melee attacks are really hard to pull off.

'It's a Wonderful Life' sequel could get killed by Paramount (photo: James Stewart and Donna Reed in 'It's a Wonderful Life') What would the world be like if any one individual human being had never been born? In most cases, the world would quite possibly be an infinitely better place, but the overwhelming majority of (delusional) humans want to feel good about themselves and their place on our overpopulated, fast-rotting planet. Hence movies such as Frank Capra's 1946 sentimental fantasy drama It's a Wonderful Life, released the year after the end of World War II — which reportedly left about 60 million human beings dead (plus countless other non-humans), in addition to millions more maimed, homeless, and/or psychologically destroyed. Starring James Stewart as Small Town America family man George Bailey, who almost kills himself but is prevented from doing so by an angel with way too much time in his hands, »

One of my good friend Mike Veeck's two favorite phrases is "Fun is Good" and "Everyday is Opening Day."
New ideas.
It's what our staff prides itself on every month. While the search for new ideas, or more specifically, new revenues, is the aim of every sports marketing executive looking to grow their businesses, the lesson this month is that some new ideas don't require new thinking as much as new perspective.
The first of two of this month's Reports that back this claim have to do with organizations like the NBA and Cleveland Cavaliers who have added underbelly and DLP signage successfully to their offerings and watched the impact for the sponsor grow immeasurably.
I'm writing this from the lobby of the hotel in Los Angeles at the National Sports Forum. As many of you know, the National Sports Forum is, for my money, the preeminent sports marketing conference for learning and sharing proven revenue-generating ideas as well as tremendous camaraderie among executives of all levels.
And this year was no exception as Shawn Hunter and his passionate staff at AEG served as host's supreme during tours of the STAPLES Center and the Home Depot Center.
A new year brings new beginnings and unlimited prospects for the future.
While looking ahead to 2007, I'd be remiss if I did not also look back to 2006 for some lessons learned. The most profound example I'll take from 2006 was at last month's Baseball Winter Meetings.
I was given the honor of being one of the opening speakers in Orlando and have an address on bringing selflessness into sponsorship sales. Quite simply, the more you give your sponsors without expecting anything immediately in return, the more you will receive in turn.
To help all of us end 2006 and start the new year on a high note, the following is a continuation of The Migala Report's annual tradition of highlighting a few resolutions from a variety of our valued subscribers.
Best wishes for a wonderful 2007!
"In 2007, I hope to nurture existing business relationships. Additionally, I want to read more non-sports marketing industry related literature, which may provide perspective or a different point of view on our industry."
Bruce Bundrant Account Supervisor (Visa USA)
This Migala Report article examines facility naming rights and the best practices that industry professionals use to secure naming rights deals. Specifically, the article briefly analyzes the history of naming rights and how the Anaheim Ducks and Anaheim Arena Management are activating their naming rights partnership with Honda. The article also examines the Nashville Predators and their unique situation as it relates to facility naming rights.
I was recently having a conversation with Ray Artigue, the long-time marketing guru of the Phoenix Suns and now head of Arizona State University's Sports MBA Program at the W.P. Carey School of Business. In the midst of our talk, I asked Ray what he loved most about his new job guiding the next generation's top sports business minds.
Let's talk this month about Detroit Tigers Kenny Rogers pitcher and the substance-on-the-hands incident in Game Two of last month's World Series. Did he cheat? Was he playing inside what many refer to as simply "the game within the game?" I recently had a discussion on this topic and the answers, and opinions, vary as to the feelings towards Mr. Rogers' actions.
One colleague said simply, "It's the way the game is played. Everyone does it."
Another said, "It was obvious to everyone that he was cheating. There's a right and a wrong and there is no in between. Rogers was wrong."
The following is a special excerpt from a journal written by The Goldklang Group's Tyler Tumminia. Tyler traveled with the St. Paul Saints for a exhibition baseball series in Japan and the following is her thoughts and lessons learned from a business perspective. Tyler can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and more information on her trip can be found at www.saintsbaseball.com.
Last month's travels saw me going to the Sports Business Journal's Sports Sponsorship Symposium and the Minor League Baseball Promotional Seminar. The cohesive thought from both of these shows that I want to share with you is the paradox that is happening in the industry right now. This shift is an evolution from emotional decision-making to more rational decisions that are leading to smiles on the CFO's faces.

Whereas '95, hereinafter to be known as last year, was equal to 5 times 19, or, to put it several other ways, the number of baseball gloves that can be made from one cow multiplied by the number of acres of pizza eaten each day in the United States; or the minutes it takes a good vet to castrate a cat times the gestation period of a laboratory mouse; or the different ways the letter "f" may be pronounced in Icelandic times the number of stations on the Baku underground system...
Ninety-six, or this year, is equal to 2 times 48, (the number of times Diana said "Charles" in her Panorama interview times the average weight in pounds of an elephant's heart); or 3 times 32 (the number of baths taken by Louis XIV in his life multiplied by the number of times Gladstone liked to chew each mouthful of food); or 4 times 24 (the frogs eaten each year per capita in France times the letters in the Korean alphabet); or 6 times 16 (the months of his life the average American spends waiting for red lights to change times the chromosomes of the honeybee); or 8 times 12 (length in feet of a koala's appendix times tons of jellybeans bought by the White House in the Reagan years). We trust this clarifies the matter.
Another set of puzzles from our "26 L of the A" (Letters of the Alphabet) collection. What are the missing words in the set that follows?
3 W in a H T
3 B S (C E and A)
3 S Y and T
3 L on a T

Winners: Mrs N Worth, John Caddick; RR Whitworth.
14 December competition:
We asked: If GOOSE plus GOOSE equals TURKEY, what is the value of PORK. The only solution that leaves a non-zero digit for P is 64475+64475= 128950, and PORK = 3489.
Winners: PA Baggaley, Bill Quantrill, AH Moore.
Plenty of correct answers to both of these, which is why this week's are just a tiny bit more difficult.

A glance at the Nobel economics prize winners
A glance at the Nobel economics prize winners
Americans Eugene Fama, 74, and Lars Peter Hansen, 60, of the University of Chicago; and Robert Shiller, 67, of Yale University.
All three studied the movement of prices of assets — things like stocks, bonds and housing — but they came at it from different angles. Fama found that it is hard to predict whether prices will move up or down over the short run, but two decades later Shiller concluded that it was possible to make such predictions over periods of three years or more. Hansen developed a statistical method to test theories of asset pricing.

Coachella 2012: Newcomers Gotye, Gary Clark, Jr., Azealia Banks Bring the Buzz on Weekend 2
The Tupac hologram was back, along with headliners Radiohead and The Black Keys, but some of the biggest cheers went to bubbling under acts.
In the middle of his band's set during the second weekend of this year's Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Radiohead singer Thom Yorke pontificated on why the gargantuan band -- infamously publicly adverse to gargantuan gestures -- would play such a gargantuan festival, not once, but on two subsequent weekends. For them, it all came down to communal simplicity: "It's a collective thing," he said. "You... and us."
The official reason for throwing the festival over two weekends in 2012, with the same bands booked for each, follows a similar ethos: after selling out in recent years, concert promoters Goldenvoice wanted to ensure that anyone who wanted to buy a ticket, would be able to without discomfort or crazy-high scalper prices. It's the latest in a series of changes and improvements the festival has made over its 12 years of existence -- -- from expanding the grounds, to adding a third day, to a futuristic chip-embedded wristband entrance system.
VIDEO: Dr. Dre Insists Tupac Hologram Was 'Strictly For Coachella'
And though there was something of a to-be-expected "been there, done that" vibe to the second weekend, it was of no matter to the throng of music fans -- slightly thinner, but still 60,000 strong -- who shelled out upwards of $285 for the repeat. They got their own Coachella moments, including a surprise sit-in by John Fogerty with The Black Keys, who performed "The Weight" in honor of the late Levon Helm, and , of course, the now notorious Tupac Shakur hologram, a rendering of the slain rapper that appeared both weekends during a high-energy set from hip-hop royalty Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
On weekend 1, the audience seemed a bit taken aback by the virtual figure; on the second, the minute Tupac's visage appeared on the giant screens to the sides of the stage, everyone knew what was coming. Surprisingly, this didn't detract from the excitement. Rather, nearly everyone on the field held their phone aloft and hit "record," to prove that they, too, were there to see it (point of order: some intrepid YouTube editor should put the whole performance together from these different angles -- the official version makes Tupac appear both more real, and more ghastly, than the kind of video game-ish vibe he had from the side).
VIDEO: Coachella 2012: Black Keys, Joined by John Fogerty, Pay Homage to Levon Helm
Breakout acts also got a second chance to make their first big impression. Gotye, the rising star behind the huge hit "Somebody That I Used To Know," played percussion extatically through a set that grew and grew. With his sometimes Sting-esque grooves, the overflowing tent responded enthusiastically to every song (though the singalong on the aforementioned hit was definitely the epic high point), signaling that the Aussie is likely not going to be resigned to one-hit-wonderdom.
From elsewhere across the pond, England's Florence and the Machine are clearly poised for future headliner status as singer Florence Welch demonstrated masterfully, commanding the stage in flowing robes a la her forbear Stevie Nicks. Bluesman Gary Clark, Jr. rode buzz from the first week into a must-see performance on the second, displaying an air of impassible cool as he plucked Hendrix-referencing solos to a ravenous crowd. Swedish band The Hives, who haven't had a hit in nearly a decade, are as rapturously high-energy as ever; even if they're not on the radio anymore, their blast of a show here should parlay into a major tour. And rapper Azealia Banks, whose bouncy "212" is bound to be inescapable this summer, proved herself something of a fashion icon as well, wearing an over-the-top getup that would make Nicki Minaj take note -- not to mention an air of confidence reminiscent of the "Super Bass" singer herself.
It was an experiment that mostly worked, although with temperatures soaring well over 100, it wasn't always comfortable -- and, given their successful history of unusual moves, perhaps Goldenvoice can figure out a fix for that issue, as well.

Elton John has been writing music since the 1960s, and between then and now, he has had enough life experience to reach some remarkable conclusions.

Pop music in the 21st century has been flush with precise re-creations of '60s and '70s American R&B — think of Sharon Jones, Adele, Raphael Saadiq and the late Amy Winehouse. Meanwhile, I've been waiting for a similar revival of Jamaica's R&B: ska, rocksteady, roots-reggae.

The jazz musician Ravi Coltrane, 47, didn't make his burden any lighter by choosing to play tenor and soprano saxophones — the same instruments his father, John Coltrane, indelibly stamped with his influence.
Ravi knew early he needed his own voice. On tenor, he has his own ways of bending and inflecting a note, applying flexible vibrato. Even when his noble sound bears witness to his heritage, Ravi Coltrane can draw on his father's language and make it his own.

Last Night my high school had it's annual Broadway Night production (an end of the year show where we perform different numbers from shows and do skits and what not) and in addition to performing, I had the pleasure of throwing together a last minute lighting design. The entire cast stayed after school until the show to do a run through. I put some pretty simple stuff together in about an hour and during the rehearsal I was going over how I programmed the board with the kid who was running it. I went to slide up a few channels and when I did the lights on stage flickered and dropped out completely, leaving the stage in a blackout. I restarted the board and everything started to work fine, so I tried to see what exactly caused the issue. I messed around with a couple of channel sliders and found out that it only occurred when I faded them up quickly. So, I told my board op. to make sure he faded everything slowly and fortunately everything worked fine throughout the show. My high school uses a Lehigh Millennium, and it's already had a few problems. When I was in my first show in 9th grade a few years back, our in-school show got delayed because in the middle of the performance the DMX cable somehow died and they couldn't control the lighting. My school was only built in 2004 so the equipment is relatively "new," but the board hasn't been serviced or checked out at all during that time. I think a lot of the problems stem from the fact that our music department has poorly trained students run the board for concerts, and none of them can be bothered to shut down the board correctly. I don't really have that much leverage when it comes to anything like this, but I was wondering for my own sake, what could have caused the entire system to blackout?
What kind of board do you have? Does it only occur when you fade all the way up and hit the end stop? This sounds like it could be a mechanical issue with the linear pots attached to the sliders. I've seen ones where it's possible to ride the moving element all the way off the resistive element in the pot.
This sounds very likely for the problem you addressed. It's something that I think would be an easy low cost fix/maintenance on teh board by any respectable shop.
You guys should probably know that I'm 17, a junior in high school, and know absolutely NOTHING about electricity other than the basics I've learned in an AP Physics class. I can tell you what a voltage source and resistor look like on a circuit diagram, that's about it! It actually makes me really upset when I visit this forum and realize that there's still so much I need to learn. But thank you guys for providing some sort of diagnosis, whether I can understand it or not (wikipedia definitely helped me out a little ) I'm secretly kind of hoping that the board breaks beyond repair so that the district is forced to invest in a new one...But from what I understand my district in general is pretty conservative, so who knows where that would go.
Depending on the age of the board, you may be able to bring up the topic of a repair, and lay out options for an upgrade ($xxx to keep this board going for another 6 months, or $xxxx for a new one that will last at least 15 years maintenance-free). Without knowing what model of board this is, and assuming the issue is what I said it was, I would say that this repair is definitely something best left to a professional, lest you end up with a completely dead board. Of course, you say your facility is new-ish, so assuming the board was in good condition when it was installed, there are probably bigger issues. Probably with the people who have used it in the past (or are currently using it), but maybe also with the environment it's living in. Edit: oops sorry, did not see the board mentioned in your post.
Well, I said in my first post that my school uses a Lehigh Millennium console. And the last point you made is actually what I think the issue was caused by. Since it's a windows based console, you have to go through a certain shut down procedure. It only takes a couple of clicks 1. Find "File" in the interface 2. Save show 3. wait for a screen telling you you're clear and shut down the board with it's own power switch. These instructions are printed and taped on the table next to the board, but I know that nobody can be bothered with following the first two steps because I frequently turn on the board to a blue screen telling me the console wasn't properly shutdown, and then it screws me over by freezing scene A and only allowing me to utilize scene B, then I have to go through the process of restarting the board to get it to work. There really shouldn't be a problem with the environment it's in though because we don't even try to get close to what it's capable of doing. It's marketed as a moving light console, but we only use conventionals. It has 48 faders on a scene, but the crew adviser who designs our musicals has only ever used a max of 19 channels, and when we have it patched for concerts and other things we only use 3 channels. I can't remember anyone other than myself ever using cues or submasters and I don't think anyone knows how to use them. We keep it dust free and cover the board and its monitor after every use. So I don't think environment has anything to do with damage. Perhaps it could just be poor quality equipment? I think I've seen a few people on here talk about how they don't like the manufacturer, and I know personally we had an issue where a bunch of our circuits weren't distributing power to the fixtures. When a group came into to check out the problem, they discovered that the dimmers assigned to those circuits were supposedly damaged. I think we're at the point though where we're having so many problems that investing in a new console or repairs is inevitable, because I was speaking today to one of our custodians who's our set/lighting designer and when he checked in while he was on vacation a lot of people were complaining of problems they were having with it. Who knows, I graduate next year anyway and then I get to go on to college, hopefully one that employs an ETC console in their theatre...
Additionally, you would be correct in thinking our facility/equipment would be nice considering its age, but our district took way too many shortcuts and made to many design flaws. I go to school in New York and they designed the building with butterfly roofs. They fixed the leaks, but we went through a few years where garbage pails were set up on stage to collect rain water, something our crew affectionately termed "roof juice" because of it's murky color. I remember a few years ago I worked a county wide music concert in a storm, and it was quite literally raining on stage. With all of this going on, our assistant superintendent of music had the nerve to criticize what I was doing...In fact, we have one leko that's rusted from water running over it. Surprisingly, it still works.
Faders go bad due to dust and debris, also from abuse. Moving parts only last so long. The problem of power not getting to your fixtures was probably an issue in the dimmer system from the sound of it which has nothing to do with the console. If you want to start teaching yourself electronics best way to start is go to radio shack and get one of those electronic labs where you build different projects. Try to get one that has logic circuits also. The kit will teach you what each component does how it works and how to identify it. It also teaches you how to read electronic diagrams. That's how I learned and I wasted lots of Saturdays playing with it.
Shutting down the console incorrectly can lead to corrupted software. Damaged files could certainly lead to odd and unpredictable behavior. Send the beast back to Lehigh for a going over. They should be able to repair for very reasonable cost.

I lay most things but here I m thinking more like a sleeping bag. You don t take the winter bag in summer time. Take enough gear for any condition you maySep 29, 2003 1 of 13View Source
I lay most things but here I'm thinking more like a sleeping bag. You don't take the winter bag in summer time. Take enough gear for any condition you may encounter. Many people have a summer bag and a winter bag. I'm thinking a three season sleeping system and a winter system. It would mean two hammocks but if what I'm thinking about works then I should be able to build a very light winter sleep system.
I think the layering is still important and all. I was able to stay warm in the high 30's in my spear type hammock a few weekends ago in the high sierras So I'm comfortable with my "3 season" hammock. Instead of adding a blanket or piling stuff in and under my hammock I'm thinking about just building another hammock.
The baffles are the one piece that I'm still working on. In my home it's not cold enough to even play with a cold weather hammock right now so I have to wait. I may build a prototype from heavy material with some down from an old blanket. I have no idea what the fill is on the down or anything. Won't matter in that respect. If it doesn't work I can rip the seams and try again until I get something I like.
Anyway I'll let you all know how it goes as soon as I make the sucker. In fact the mountains are starting to get cold so I may build this guy in the next few weeks.

Can JELL-O stop the apocalypse?
Photographer: YouTube
Posted: 12/20/2012
The world was predicted to come to an end Friday, but if it doesn't, we have what is arguably one of America's most beloved treats to thank.
Earlier this year, an offering was made to ancient Mayan gods. Scientists trekked through the jungle, backpacks and crates filled to capacity were taken to the top of a Mayan ruin. They believe the offering is appropriate, fit for a god – an offering of JELL-O.
Well, at least that's what is communicated in the latest commercial from the company owned by Kraft as it attempts to get back to its roots in providing "food for fun."
According to online advertising review company Adpressive, the commercial is "clever, entertaining and quite impressive." JELL-O simply hopes they are able to save the world.
The review from Adpressive reveals exactly what JELL-O was going for. Kraft spokesperson Lynne Galia says the company has a new marketing campaign titled "Fun Things up." It just kicked off, and the idea is to make the best of TV, print, social and experiential platforms.
"JELL-O is inserting itself into the cultural conversation like it never has before. The first effort to bring the 'Fun Things Up' platform to life is with the Mayan apocalypse campaign," Galia said. "On December 21, 2012 the Mayans have predicted that the world will come to an end. Fortunately, JELL-O is preparing a very fun sacrifice of JELL-O Pudding to appease the gods and save the world. Through our efforts, we'll demonstrate how the fun of JELL-O Pudding can not only save the world, but also 'Fun Things Up' for families. "
Galia says the history of JELL-O is saturated in families and fun. Memorable advertising/marketing campaigns for JELL-O include but are not limited to tie-ins with Lucille Ball's My Favorite Husband, Bill Cosby, Saturday Night Live and Hogan's Heroes.
"In recent years, we moved away from that strategy and were focused more on adults," Galia said.
As the company strives to get us through the apocalypse and get back to its roots, Galia says feedback has been good.
"We are seeing and hearing excitement that JELL-O is back on TV with a new campaign and are supportive of our 'Food for Fun' strategy," she said.
Exactly how successful the campaign will be has yet to be really measured, but we all may have a good idea come December 22.

Superman: The Movie
Add Superman: The Movie to Queue
Add Superman: The Movie to top of Queue
Richard Donner's big-budget blockbuster Superman: The Movie is an immensely entertaining recounting of the origin of the famous comic book character. Opening on Krypton (where Marlon Brando plays Superman's father), the film follows the Man of Steel (Christopher Reeve) as he's sent to Earth where he develops his alter-ego Clark Kent and is raised by a Midwestern family. In no time, the movie has run through his teenage years, and Clark gets a job at the Daily Planet, where he is a news reporter. It's there that he falls in love with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), who is already in love with Superman. But the love story is quickly sidetracked once the villainous Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) launches a diabolical plan to conquer the world and kill Superman. Superman: The Movie is filled with action, special effects and a surprising amount of humor. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Three Days of the Condor

Add Three Days of the Condor to top of Queue
"His code name is Condor. In the next 24 hours, everyone he trusts will try to kill him." As the ads ominously announced, a low-level spook confronts the unfathomable in Sydney Pollack's 1975 political thriller, adapted from the James Grady novel Six Days of the Condor. CIA researcher Joe Turner (Robert Redford) returns from lunch to find the entire staff of his small New York office assassinated. When he meets his boss (Cliff Robertson) at another location to tell him what happened, someone tries to shoot Turner as well. On the run from the cops and his agency, a desperate Turner resorts to holing up with innocent civilian Kathy (Faye Dunaway), who becomes his only ally. Joe decides to save himself the only way possible -- by going to The New York Times. But will it work? One of a cycle of conspiracy films from the 1970s that also included The Parallax View (1974) and Redford's All the President's Men (1976), Three Days of the Condor pits a working everyman (albeit a CIA everyman) against a far-reaching conspiracy, as it also criticizes the CIA during a period of increasing publicity about federal wrongdoing, from the Pentagon Papers through Watergate and other congressional investigations. The challenge of negotiating New York City, shot on location, becomes one more sign of the forces that Joe must face. With its timely subject matter, taut suspense, and sympathetic Redford hero, Three Days of the Condor became a substantial hit. Balancing the conspiracy cycle's pessimism with a margin of attenuated hope, Three Days of the Condor suggests that one man can still discover the truth, but whether it helps him remains to be seen. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

The Way We Were

Add The Way We Were to top of Queue
"Gorgeous goyish guy" meets Jewish radical girl in Sydney Pollack's glossy romance. In 1937, frizzy-haired Red co-ed Katie Morosky (Barbra Streisand) briefly captures the attention of preppy jock Hubbell Gardiner (Robert Redford) with her passionate pacifism, while the writing talent beneath his privileged exterior entrances her. Almost eight years later, the two are reunited in New York, when well-coiffed leftist radio worker Katie spies military officer Hubbell snoozing in a nightclub. Through her force of will, and in spite of his smug rich friends, the two opposites fall in love, sparring over Katie's activist zeal and Hubbell's writerly ambivalence after a failed first novel. They head to Hollywood so that Hubbell can write a screenplay for his buddy-turned-producer J.J. (Bradford Dillman). But the House Committee on Un-American Activities' Communist witch hunt in 1947 tears the pair apart, as a pregnant Katie refuses to keep silent about the jailing of the Hollywood Ten, while a faithless Hubbell decides to save his career. When the two meet again at the dawn of the '60s, TV hack Hubbell and A-bomb protestor Katie feel the old pull, but they have to decide if it's worth the grief. Although blacklisted writers had returned to Hollywood -- and won Oscars -- by the early 1970s, the HUAC sections of Arthur Laurents's screenplay were still considered dicey, resulting in substantial cuts; Laurents reportedly blamed star Redford for not fighting them hard enough. Regardless of the edits, and critics' complaints about the film's schlockiness, 1973 audiences went for the well-executed and still politically tinged weepie, turning The Way We Were into one of the most popular films of 1973 and Redford into a major heartthrob. Streisand won an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and the Streisand-sung title tune won for Best Song. Despite the eviscerated politics, The Way We Were poignantly captures the insoluble dilemma of reconciling private desires with public awareness. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Vincent Bruce (Warren Beatty) is a Korean War veteran who becomes an occupational therapist in a private mental hospital that cares for wealthy, schizophrenic clientele. He slowly begins to fall for Lilith Arthur (Jean Seberg), a patient who is mentally locked in her own little world. Vincent eventually begins his own psychological disintegration over his feelings for the woman and asks for help. Watch for early career performances from Olympia Dukakis and Gene Hackman in this depressing psychodrama. This was the final film from the gifted director Robert Rossen, who died in 1966. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

The Young Doctors
This slick hospital soap opera features Ben Gazzara as Dr. David Coleman, a young physician hired into the pathology department at a big hospital. The aging head of the department, Dr. Joseph Pearson (Fredric March), is insulted and treats the new hire as a rival. They battle over many medical issues. Coleman falls in love with a nurse, Cathy Hunt (Ina Balin), but she develops a tumor on her knee. Pearson says that it is malignant and orders her leg amputated. Coleman disagrees but must go along with the decision. Coleman then orders three blood tests on an expectant mother, Mrs. Alexander (Phyllis Love), because she has a rare blood condition. Pearson thinks that the tests are excessive and cancels the third test. When the baby is born seriously ill, Pearson is berated by Dr. Charles Dornberger (Eddie Albert), Alexander's personal physician, who then conducts a blood transfusion to save the baby's life. Pearson's future at the hospital becomes uncertain, at best. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Greek Life: I'm not actually a Greek, so I haven't noticed the scene. I have noticed, though, that there are a full range of organizations and Greeks, so there must be things like off-campus housing or activities.
A+ A+F Greek Life: The sororities and fraternities are not only present but active on campus
D+ A+F Greek Life: The campus is dead most people go to class and then leave. There are no dorms so every one lives off campus and most student are adult in their early 30s with jobs and families.
B A+F Greek Life: I haven't really seen that much Greek activity mostly I hear about the events and things they are trying to do to help the community. They are very welcoming to non Greeks and will pretty much answer any question that you have about it.
B- A+F Greek Life: I'm not really involved in the Greek life, but I hear it's a good environment if that's what you're looking for during your college experience

The Greek life at the University of the District of Columbia is not all that strong right now. Greek life is mostly visible via the benches that are painted in the courtyard between buildings 32 and 44. There are also some events on campus that are sponsored by the fraternities and sororities. But, overall, Greek life is not that big of a deal here.

Sampeng Lane Map
download and print the map
- Shops in Chinatown are closed for Chinese New Years and Songkran
- Chinese New Years Jan 31, Feb 1-2, 2014
- Songkran April 13-17, 2013 - see Thai holidays
- Shops are open 7 days a week, from 8:30 to 5:00 with some shops having slightly different hours
Some shops are closed on Sundays but not all.
It is very crowded on Sat-Sun and holidays. The walking lane in Chinatown, Bangkok, is known as Sampeng Lane (signs say Soi Wanit 1) and it's the only place in all of Thailand to get cotton quilt fabric at cheap prices. There are a lot of fabric shops! Diana drew up a map showing the shops that have 100% cotton. Bolts wrapped in plastic are for sale by the bolt. The shop numbers go in order so you can find a shop by it's number with even numbers on one side, odd on the other. If you buy less than 10 meters of fabric, the price is retail but still cheap, as low as 35 baht per meter ($1 per yard). If you buy 10 meters or more, which can be various fabrics from one shop, the price is wholesale which means about a 25% discount. Minimum cut is 1 meter, sometimes 2. The shopkeepers are honest and the prices are low. Watch out for pickpockets though. The closest skytrain station is Hua Lampong, or Wong Wian Yai and get a taxi to Sampeng. Or arrive by boat at N 5 Ratchawongse or N 6 Memorial Bridge (Saphan Phut) and walk.
Don't bargain! It's not a bargaining place! If you buy in quantity, you get the wholesale price. For example if you buy a dozen sarongs, or 10 meters of fabric or more, you get the wholesale price. These shops sell in quantity! Thanks for reading and have fun!

Hello my husband and I will be heading to bangkok in March 2012, is this area only wholesale or can anyone buy here?
Thank you for the maps they will come in handy.-
Shola / Feb 6 2012 10:33 pm
You can buy any amount here, a lot of the shops sell at a discount for 'wholesale', which is usually always 3 pieces and up, except for the fabric shops where everything is by the meter:) Hope that helps.
Trishia Madrid / Mar 10 2012 6:52 am
thank you I'm getting so excited just a little longer. Do you know if there is a place to mail the fabric? Just in case I find to many goodies for my suitcase.
Trishia Madrid / Mar 10 2012 6:31 am
is there only one fabric shop or is there several? I was wondering if there are cotton and silk shops close by each other.
Shola / Mar 11 2012 10:31 am
There's plenty of Post Offices around although I don't know of a specific one near the market. There's tons and tons of fabric shops, you need to start a little way down Sampeng lane (Soi Wanit 1) at the 'Kikuya' fabric shop, though this is a proper fabric shop and not really cheap,cross the road and carry on walking down the lane from there and it's like a mile of fabric shops all different:)

HI Jill
I'm heading to Bangkok in a couple of months and would like to buy spandex/lycra to make swimwear for my daughter. Will I find it in Sampeng Lane?
Lisa – Australia
Shola / Apr 2 2012 8:13 pm
There's' #166 L. Gemini ' that sells only jersey type knits. I've seem swimwear lycra in only one shop which is on the same side, just a shop or few after #48 Hong Garment Accessories, they have their fabric bolts upright/vertically displayed, you need to walk through those and go to the back right hand side and there is the swimwear fabric, this is the only shop in Sampeng I've seen that sells this type of fabric. If you ask for Spandex a lot of shops will have it but it's not the swimwear kind. Decent lycra fabric is hard to come by, Gemini only have mostly solid colours, the other shop has some nice patterned stuff, very cheap but low quality, the swimwear stuff that they have is an ok quality though there is not much variety.
Hope that helps, sorry I don't know the exact location or name of the shop:/-
Amber / Nov 23 2013 4:14 pm
Jill, thank you for the information above on swimwear fabric. I too would like to purchase some for making swimsuits. Do you have any more current information? Do the two shops you mentioned – L. Gemini and Hong Garment still sell Lycra swimwear?
Thanks! Amber

Hi, Aside from fabrics, is the sampeng market a good place to buy other articles like bags and fashion accessories?
Shola / Jul 17 2012 11:43 pm
yes, about half is fabrics and the other half is everything else, bags,clothes accessories etc. Look at the map above and just walk the opposite way at Rathawong road where the map starts, the rest of Sampeng Lane goes on from there.
Lisa / Aug 12 2012 6:27 pm
Hi, do you know if there are also places here that can copy clothing items, ie actually do the sewing? I know there are a lot of tailors in Bangkok but I am just looking for copies to be made of items I already own. Thank you :-)
Shola / Aug 12 2012 7:56 pm
Depends what kind of clothing it is, most tailors will copy a shirt or trousers/skirt for you but they don't seem to copy knit (stretch) fabric stuff, I think they just generally don't work with that fabric, I've asked in the past.
Lisa / Aug 12 2012 8:25 pm
Good to know. One is an unlined simple lace jacket, one is a cotton jumpsuit, so both woven – I think I will give it a try! Thanks so much for the reply.

DO you know of ANY other places I could try??
Desperate to find it!!
Thank you!! -
Shola / Feb 17 2013 10:00 am
Keep on walking down, it's quite far from Gemini but there's another shop selling only stretch fabrics (mostly shiny) and some voile types, if you look on the Sampeng map (this site) it's the area of lane between Trok Hua Met and Chakrapet, on the left hand side, (going toward Pahurat area) It's a large shop, outside at the front are long vertical bolts of sheer and stretch fabic, walk inside and there's also thin shiny and swimwear fabrics, all bolts are about 60 -80 inches and most are between 59-89 baht per meter, v cheap! (I'm sure it's AFTER 'HOng Garment Accessories')

If you follow the map on this site, it has quite a few shops that sell quilted fabric, not all the shops are on the map but if you follow the main lane 'Vanit 1′ on this map you will definitely find some! I was just there Friday, in that area and I saw some here and there, sorry I can't give you a specific shop, it's not something I ever buy:)

Shola / May 30 2013 10:24 am
Hong Garment Accessories on the Sampeng Map have all of these items, Rotary Cutters and cutting mats are still quite expensive as they are brand name import. I buy regular cm cutting mats in stationary shops in town (b2S etc) and mark them myself in inches, much much cheaper!

Shola / Aug 13 2013 10:12 am
Ask to be taken to Kikuya (Kik-oo-ya) in Ratchawong Rd, 4pm is a very busy time on the roads , I'd advise morning or early afternoon as traffic will be v bad between 4 -7pm. For clothing and accessories you need to start at Kikuya, Sampeng Lane continues down, next to the Kikuya shop, this is the area you will need…The opposite side is mostly fabric but does have some accessory shops……

Shola / Aug 20 2013 7:00 am
HI, Sorry I don't know T&K :( Just take the lane going down next to the Kikuya shop on Ratchawong Rd, 3pm traffic will be better than 4 but going back will be very very slow after you finished shopping, if you can get there in the morning it's much better!

Hi! Really great information about Sampeng. Thank you for sharing! I am planning a short trip to Bangkok in Nov and would like to know how much time I should allocate to Sampeng Lane and China World. I am looking for US & Japanese quilting cottons. Other things I will be checking out are notions such as zippers, zipper sliders, buttons & cotton tape/crochet lace tapes. Which place is more worthwhile to spend more time in? I may only have from morning to around 4pm to spare. Any advice is appreciated. Oh, and which place should I go first, Sampeng Lane or China World? THank you!!

In Sampang Lane you'll find all the accessories you're looking for, but there'll be very little when it comes to imported quilting fabric. There are 2 shops in Sampeng, they are franchise shops and won't be cheap compared to the market shops. 'Fabric House' (Written on map as Cotton House') and 'Kikuya' which is on the main road before you enter the lane for Fabric House, they will have some. Also China World has a shop on the ground floor opposite True Coffee that has imported US and Japanese fabrics, limited choice but very cute and also very expensive! I was quoted between 250 -400 Baht per yard there, but the fabric is nice! I always start at Sampeng (beginning of map) and walk all the way through to China World, it's quite a way but you get to see everything, and you come out in India town, where all the Indian fabrics are :) Good luck! I would dedicate at least one whole morning and early afternoon to it!

Do you have any idea if they sell fake brands like abercrombie and fitch, aeropostale, etc? Found some at MBK but they are too expensive to resell. Thanks very much..

You need to go to Platinum Mall and Baiyoke Market.

Hi Jill,
I am looking for Lycra swimwear fabric in Bangkok. Can I get it at the fabric market in Chinatown?
