In late September, S3 Graphics, still a subsidiary of VIA Technology and soon to be transferred to HTC, dragged Apple Inc. to court over charges of patent infringement related to graphics component IP of nearly all Apple products, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and iMac. Last month, AMD, now a main supplier of graphics processors for Apple's Mac products, intervened with a counter lawsuit claiming it owned the patents that S3 has asserted against Apple, and sought an immediate halt to S3's patent case against Apple. In an October 28 filing with the ITC, S3 says that a federal judge struck down a request for an immediate halt into S3's case, but the Commission is scheduled to release its final decision on November 15. The case struck down is (rather was) Advanced Micro Devices Inc. v. S3 Graphics Co., 11cv965, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Wilmington). Source: Bloomberg
no this is wrong i counter counter law-suing them all as i give amd the patents;those who given to me the patents please proceed accordingly with another counter counter counter....rofl
Hopefully. Apple is unbelievably aggressive with it's lawsuits against other smartphone companies not because they are stealing Apple tech but because their phones look a bit like theirs (Apple versus Samsung is a prime example). Apple's main success is down to their aggressive and misleading* advertising and their super powered and probably in the pocket legal system. misleading* - I watched a commercial for an i-phone that said 'with Apple's Airplay you can stream your photo's etc to your HDTV'. If you are like most people and tech ignorant you'd think that meant only an apple phone could do that. Airplay is of course Bluetooth. Apple simply use an existing technology and call it something else so that they can pretend it's a unique feature to their phones. Apple products are good but their marketing is exceptionally devious. In fact in biblical terms, Apple is Satan as it uses deception and subterfuge to make people blindly follow.
"In fact, Apple is Religion as it uses deception and subterfuge to make people blindly follow." -fixed I just could not resist.
Okay. misleading* - I watched a commercial for an i-phone that said 'with Apple's Airplay you can stream your photo's etc to your HDTV'. If you are like most people and tech ignorant you'd think that meant only an apple phone could do that. Airplay is of course wi-fi or ethernet. Apple simply use an existing technology and call it something else so that they can pretend it's a unique feature to their phones. Apple products are good but their marketing is exceptionally devious. In fact in biblical terms, Apple is Satan as it uses deception and subterfuge to make people blindly follow. Fixed. Still the same semantic. Existing tech renamed by Apple. Thanks for correcting me and still making Apple look bad.
Hey shouldn't AMD be getting more love from Apple for coming to their defense? *hint* *hint* Gah just make me an APU Macbook so I can upgrade my iBook G4 already! Not that I wouldn't buy an Intel model, but even when they used NV chips, they weren't quite good enough for me. Same price, I could get a much better equipped PC. But, APU for the low end price or maybe a lil lower, I can start to justify a return to paying the OSX premium.
I did. Before i replied to your reply. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437 It's nothing new. Their are many wireless streaming solutions. My mate just bought a fantastic Sonos(?) set up. My boss has one in her house. Music, Media, the lot. My point is, This tech has been around for a while. It's not new. Apple rarely incorporate new tech into their devices. They wait and use it as a marketing tool for their next upgrade. Please recall as well i said apple products are good. Their marketing is the part that rubs the wrong way. And the fanaticism it creates. And by way of avoiding ill will, I am NOT calling you a fanatic.
It works over WiFi or Ethernet because it's soft. It is not WiFi or Ethernet. Nor is DLNA. The key selling point is that it's not a hassle to set up. And really, why would any company not tell you that its own products are the ones you should buy in its own advertisement?
Every level of post is a new discovery Anyways, +1 to what he said, and with apple, What they say is inevitably true. Atleast they sell good shit, I still have first-2nd gen itouch just chilling away working flawlessly still
so it's ok for one company to give a new name to technology for marketing reasons but not another? i'm not defending apple, they are way too aggressive themselves - but there's glaring hypocrisy in your case and it kinda ruins the point. and the point is not what individual things apple does, because they are no different than 90% of companies. the difference is in how aggresively apple pursues those avenues, which is much moreso than other companies.
You do realize that the APU AMD uses is nearly exactly the same as intel, and the cpu is much much inferior to the I-series cpus and the gpu is equal to intels integrated in most cases, they also run hotter and AMD is generally inefficient compared to intels offering. AMD hasn't been competitive since Athlon was released, and ATI is really their only stronghold. the new 8 core AMD lost to the I-7 quad in most cases and even to its own 6-core version of the previous series, couldn't figure out what theyre doing since it lost on nearly every front. would i get an AMD, not even if its half the price of intel, due to the ability to do anything i want for 4-5 years, compared to having to upgrade 2 years later due to speed issues. ATI segment of AMD is having notoriously bad driver issues and always has, nvidia is usually better only one major issue in last 7 years, intel is the worst cant even speak about it.
uh well then the above 2 people must suffer from user error AMD APU is far faster then any Intel IGP yes cpu side intel kicks there ass but yea no Intel has nothing in the extreme low power category that has decent GPU performance intel has nothing, Atom is a flop in terms of CPU performance vs AMD products in the same power envelope and has no IGP worth a damn, so the E 350 currently remains untouched in that market as for an all in one desktop no sub $160 CPU from Intel has a GPU that can match AMD in terms of IGP, an APU currently when overclocked offers at least with the A8 3850 greater then Phenom II performance when gaming and the IGP when clocked up is on par with a 5670 / 5750 show me any Intel IGP that offers the same as it stands currently amd APU is 30%-200% faster then Intels IGP, it also takes an Intel CPU thats $70-100 more expensive to reach that 30-200% lackluster performance comparing price to price intel is slaughtered on the IGP front, Nvidia has no IGP, so there completely irrelevant these days, if you want an IGP that will run games and do what you need it to then AMD is all there is, as for CPU performance why would you need to upgrade every to years, I recently had large amount of hardware failures, fell back on a ridiculously old Athlon 64 3800+ 939 rig 2gigs ram + Xpress 200 IGP and ran win 7 64 bit just fine and was capable of 720p video without much trouble, just sayin and AMD APU can actually run most games, and when overclocked an A8 3850 + IGP will actually run games like Bad Company 2 at medium settings up to 1080p at playable framerates. this is all really off topic tho but eitherway lawsuit or not AMD holds the IGP crown end of story in terms of performance, and usuall driver issues are end user issues. as for the S3 v AMD or w.e doesnt matter much it will stay in court for years eventually it will get a back room deal and both companies will continue on there way like nothing really happened lol.
Spoken like someone who truly does not know what they're talking about. But hey, at least you got the CPU part right.
^ thats what im thinking but even then average web surfer dosent need a quadcore, again i was doing the TS3, web browsing HD video watching with a single core 939 3800+ so most of the time its just user error or, cluttered OSes that slow things down lol. Still i wonder if S3 / Via will come out on top in the lawsuits would be pretty funny to see.
I am disappointed with AMD helping Apple out. I mean the rich bully pays the big guy to punch others, pathetic! Why people can't understand that Apple is the new Microsoft, they just want total domination. AMD disappoints me once again :shadedshu They should focus on CPU/GPU development not in legal services for greedy egocentric companies.

text: An inexpensive way to give your family room a quick facelift is to start by painting one wall a contrasting color. You also might consider adding a color on the ceiling rather then your typical white. Simply changing out the lampshades to newer styles can also make a big difference. If your sofa and chairs are beginning to look tired try buying new throw pillows it will make the furniture appear in better shape. An area we have a tendencies to look past is the window treatments so change for a fresh look. Something that will not cost you a dime is to simply rearrange the furniture. If the wood furniture is old and tired think about painting the furniture rather then stripping and staining it. This will save you time and give you a new look.

Dress Up Date
Tulsa designers and boutiques offer fall fashion with a cause
Halloween isn't the only reason to play dress up in the coming months. Fall fashion in Tulsa is now fully underway. Local designers and boutiques welcome the new season as an opportunity to highlight some local talent and to benefit a few local charities.
For the second season, Productive Instincts, 1334 E. 41st St., hosts Fashion Meets Art -- an event orchestrated to give exposure to undiscovered creative talent such as fashion designers, hairstylists, make-up artists, visual artists, musicians, belly dancers and other performance artists as well as other entrepreneurs in the local fashion and arts industry.
You can expect to enjoy a showcase of clothing, accessories and art by a variety of designers and artists such as 3C Creations, Blackout Boutique, Sun Poppy and more on Oct. 16 from 3-7pm.
A unique aspect of the fashion show is the incorporation of a belly dancing performance by Najmi's Spirit belly dance troupe. The dancers of Hippie Shack have worked in conjunction with local artists to design and manufacture their costumes to compliment the concept of their dance choreography. And let's be honest, who doesn't love to see coordinated women shake it while wearing cute clothes?
3C Creations, the featured designer of the event, will be showing very versatile pieces inspired by the everyday elegance of the women of Paris.
"I am inspired by Paris citizen's appreciation of art and beauty. Parisian women tend to wear clothing that is functional and practical but also very elegant. They strike a balance of expressing individuality while always remaining beautifully put together. My goal is to make sure a woman looks beautiful in her everyday life," said Candice Carter, owner of 3C Creations.
As do the other participants in Fashion Meets Art, Carter welcomes the opportunity to raise some awareness and hopefully some additional support for her art.
"I strongly believe that we have an amazing fashion and art community in Tulsa. So much talent comes out of Tulsa and I think we all have an obligation to shine the light on local artisans and encourage people to pay attention to the local talent instead of venturing out to find talent," Carter said.
"The biggest obstacle that I've encountered as a designer in Tulsa is the fact that the majority of local consumers are unaware that we exist. It can be very difficult to get support. It's the support that helps us get to the next level and give back to the community in return."
Although Fashion Meets Art is free to attend, they will be donating a percentage of their merchandise sales to benefit the local Stop Child Trafficking Now organization.
Time Travel
Joz Studio on 15th St. will be showcasing their Fall 2011 Collection on Sept. 23 from 7-9:30pm. Known for their assortment of vintage, the Joz Fashion Show will feature male and female models in clothing from designer apparel that spans the decades from the 1940's to the 1980's. Expect to see unique pieces from Christian Dior, Ives St Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, Burberry, Donna Karan and others. A trip to the neighborhood Salvation Army, this is not.
"Great vintage will never go out of style. It's awesome to have the original piece of clothing that has inspired the latest current trends. You can't go and buy another vintage top at the local department store. It's yours and only yours," said Taylor Hull, Joz Fashion Show coordinator.
Taylor also points out that purchasing vintage is a more environmentally friendly option. "If we only purchased vintage furs from each other no more animals would have to suffer. It might just keep PETA off your back."
In addition to the fashion, Tulsa-based DJ Heady P will be on the decks and local artists will be doing live graffiti paintings. The show is free to attend.
Get Crafty
Since 2007, Indie Emporium has provided an opportunity for local designers and artists to showcase and sell their wares.
Inspired by the current hand-made revolution, Indie Emporium promises to all who attend, "the hippest craft vendors, a fashion show of handmade clothing and accessories, make-and-take crafting stations, a fine arts gallery space, workshops and demos led by fabulously crafty people and much more."
There will also be a pre-fashion show silent auction, with proceeds benefitting the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. Those who attend are encouraged to bring canned food items, as well. In 2010, the Indie Emporium raised enough to provide 2,492 meals to Oklahomans in need.
Living ArtSpace, 307 E. Brady, hosts the emporium from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1.

11/09/2005: China: USCIRF releases Policy Focus on China at press conference with Congressional Members |
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) today was joined by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA), Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA), Congressman Christopher Smith (R-NJ), and Congressman Mark Kennedy (R-MN) for the release of USCIRF's Policy Focus on China at an on-the-record press conference on Capitol Hill. The findings and recommendations in Policy Focus on China are based on the Commission's August 2005 official two-week delegation to China, when the Commission traveled to Beijing, Urumqi, Kashgar, Chengdu, Lhasa, and Shanghai. The release of Policy Focus on China and its recommendations for U.S. policy are especially timely in light of President George W. Bush's November 14 meeting in Beijing with Chinese President Hu Jintao. During its visit, which was the result of several years of diplomatic effort by the United States government, the Commission engaged senior Chinese officials at the national, provincial and local levels, including Vice Premier Hui Liangyu, who are responsible for the management of religious affairs and the protection of human rights. In addition, the Commission met with Chinese academics and lawyers, UN officials, and representatives of government-sanctioned Buddhist, Catholic, Taoist, Islamic, and Protestant religious organizations. The Commission raised questions on Chinese law and international human rights norms, the management of religious affairs in China, Chinese policies concerning religious education of minors and unregistered religious organizations, new regulations on cults and religious affairs, the unique situations in Tibet and Xinjiang, and the situation for North Korean asylum-seekers in China. The Commission also raised specific cases of concern with law enforcement officials and was allowed to meet with recently released Tibetan Buddhist nun Phuntsog Nyidron during its visit to Lhasa. The Commission pressed Chinese authorities to restore her freedom of movement so that she could get needed medical attention outside of China. "The Commission continues to find that the Chinese government systematically violates the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief, contravening both the Chinese constitution and international human rights norms," said USCIRF Chair Michael Cromartie. "Indeed, the room for political openness, public activism, and greater civil and individual freedoms is narrowing in China. Economic freedom, as some had hoped, has not led to more political freedom or human rights protections. Particularly vulnerable are Catholics and Protestants engaged in unregistered activities, Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, and members of religious and spiritual movements such as the Falun Gong. Within the last week, the Chinese government has sentenced an 'underground' Protestant church pastor to three years in prison for illegally printing and distributing Bibles and other religious books, shut down the law firm of Gao Zhisheng, a prominent civil rights lawyer who refused to withdraw an open letter urging President Hu Jintao to respect freedom of religion and stop persecuting members of the Falun Gong, and arrested two priests of the 'underground' Catholic Church following an interview they gave to an Italian newspaper." "Moreover," continued Cromartie, "there is a fundamental misapprehension on the part of Chinese officials about what freedom of religion or belief means under international instruments. They have mistaken - cynically or inadvertently - the proliferation of state-sanctioned and state-controlled religious expression with the guarantee of the individual right of freedom or religion or belief. The growth of religious sentiment within the spaces sanctioned by government does not constitute freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief." Given the ongoing critical human rights problems in China, the Commission believes that these concerns must be raised at the highest levels and that U.S. officials should provide a consistent, candid, and coordinated message about human rights, including religious freedom, in their interactions with Chinese officials. Toward that end, the Commission has recommended policy options to strengthen U.S. human rights diplomacy with China. The Commission has recommended that the U.S. government:

Police bust 1,000-person pool party at Milton mansion
MILTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- Police busted a pool party with over 1,000 people at a mansion in Milton Friday night.
Police say tickets were sold to the event at the home called, "Make it Nasty Mansion Pool Party."
Neighbors on Mark Lane said the pool party was outrageous.
"If people want to have a party, fine but we had no idea it was going to turn into to be 1,000 or 1,500 people," said Mary Sabin, a neighbor.
The partygoers responded to a racy flier promoting a mansion pool party at 4 Mark Lane in Milton; a quiet tree-lined street with a lot of kids, including the homeowners two daughters.
"Our understanding was people were in the pool, outside the pool, in the house and they were home," a neighbor said.
The party invitation made it clear there was an entrance fee and that alcohol would be served at cash bars. But the scantily clad women and the noise and cars everywhere left neighbors nervous enough to want to remain anonymous.
"People are nervous because they don't know who's in the neighborhood anymore and quite honestly we've had a couple of incidents that the police have had to come to and I don't think it's a coincidence," one man said.
Police say it took over an hour to break up the bash that took place in the pool house. They also say the homeowner will be charged with knowingly allowing alcohol to be sold.
"When you have a cash bar and you're selling bottle service and you have an entrance fee, that sounds like you should have a license to do that and this neighborhood isn't zoned for that," said Sabin.
The Department of Public Health issued a cease and desist order to the homeowner because they say a private pool cannot be used as a public facility without a lifeguard or a permit.

Mercedes Exhaust Muffler Parts
Mercedes is a major auto industry and market leader with a recognized brand name, representing some of the most elite vehicles that continually feature tasteful designs with lasting dependability. Their widespread and reputable history has been formed around years of high level crafting with high quality standards for their vehicles, and more particularly, exhaust muffler parts. Mercedes exhaust muffler parts are a main factor to each Mercedes automobile, especially the exhaust system. There are aspects to your Mercedes that eventually will become worn or faulty over periods of time. The muffler of your Mercedes is a significant part of your vehicle and can grow to be rusty, as well as begin to breakdown over time. When your muffler is in good operating condition, it quiets the noises of your engine, as well as puts a stop to treacherous emissions from entering the interior of your cabin. But you can put away money and time by doing some maintenance techniques to tracing any possible problems, instead of bringing your Mercedes to a mechanic. Any easy to spot symptom is listening for any noises, like hissing, clacking or rowdy irregular sounds coming from your Mercedes while you are driving. This will show you that there is a hole in the muffler. You may also become aware of a gradual failure of engine power if the muffler is backed up. Replacing the muffler as soon as possible is the key to stopping any further damage to your exhaust system. Examine the outside of your muffler for symptoms like black spots. If there is soot casing the exterior of your muffler, this is another warning sign that the muffler needs to be replaced. FCP Euro has a hefty stock that is constantly updating for Mercedes exhaust components and muffler parts, as well as Mercedes general products.

The next step is to look at your tailpipe for signs of harm. Examine the tailpipe to ensure it is not unfastened or dragging on the street while you driving. If your Mercedes has a dragging tailpipe it can be unsafe, as every time the tailpipe makes contact with the street, sparks will fly. Also, inspect for exhaust restrictions if you are losing engine power or showing bad fuel economy. This can be caused by compressed or faulty pipes, or most frequently, a clogged catalytic converter. The engine's intake manifold vacuum should be 18 inches of vacuum when it is idling. If it is lower than this, there is definitely an exhaust restriction within it. Mufflers should also regularly be inspected for internal decay, even though they can seem to be in proper condition, as well. FCP Euro's well-informed and dedicated call center team is on hand and accessible for any support or questions you may have. If you are unclear about which exhaust muffler part or component is essential for your Mercedes, FCP has a far-reaching product line for the Mercedes brand. Check out the FCP Euro website for all products, as well as our constantly updating inventory. If you have questions, would like to put in a phone order, or just have feedback, do not hesitate to give FCP Euro a call at 877-634-0063 to connect with our service friendly team.

Suggested Tour Routes to see the best destinations in Portugal Portugal is quite compact and easy to travel around.

About Me High-end Shopper
Comments about Dimplex Premium Black Freestanding Electric Stove with Remote Control - DS7425DLX:
Just received shipment of our beautiful dimplex deluxe fireplace & we couldn't be happier! Damage to the unit seems practically impossible during delivery due to the excellent packing and padding of the product. We love everything about it. Very realistic flame technology, glossy black enamel finish, puts out sufficient heat so the central heating isn't necessary. We have a dimplex in our library room toward the back of our house we bought 7 years ago & we can't live without it either! Now we want one more for our great room. Bottom line.... I've seen the competition , don't waste your time and money on any other brand.

About Me Midrange Shopper
This is a great stove. It was very easy to order, and was delivered as promised in very good order. It looks very high end, and we have enjoyed it so far.
Great fireplace, realistic flame!!!
By Keeping warm in winter!!!
from Forsyth Illinois
We have a 20'X20' sunroom with a cathedral ceiling (close to 550-600 sq. ft.total)that we use it in with a ceiling fan. 30mins after turning it on with the doors shut, it almost heats the entire room, even without the ceiling fan running!!! You really need to plug it in to a 20 amp outlet though. Most newer homes have 15 amp service. Easy fix.

Surpased all expectations
By Lakeside Fire
from Muskoka, Ontario
This electric stove is incredibly realistic in its flame structure. The fireplace lights up a darkened room with a warm glow that flickers randomly - just like a real fire. I particularly enjoy the bright and active coal bed, as it adds a whole other dimension of reality to the fire. The fan is super quiet and the heat output is ample. Surprisingly, the thermostat is well regulated as it is able to maintain a very stable room temperature. There are no noticable temperature swings (i.e. oscillating between too warm and too cool). Finally, the stove has a nice glossy black finish that looks very professional.
Service and delivery comments:
Service was fast and delivery was perfect. No damage. No problems.
Fantastic Dimplex Premium Electric Stove

What a beautiful stove!
By Cold Feet in Clarkdale
from Clarkdale, AZ
We love our new Dimplex Stove. It has the most realistic flame I have ever seen in an electric stove. We use it to supplement the heat in our large bedroom. It is not only of exceptional quality and beauty but exceeded our expectations as an additional heat source. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend this stove to anyone.

The Ultimate Gaming Laptop MSI GT70 Praised by global top media
After being recognized with the Innovations Honorees award at CES 2012 for its considerable innovative R&D capabilities in the design and manufacture of its G Series gaming notebook, MSI was recently praised by global top media Engadget. MSI pointed out the MSI GT70 for its awesome power and snazzy looks. In addition to featuring impressive processor and display performance, this mean machine sports true-to-life screen resolution and handles the latest 3D games effortlessly. It boasts a complete array of I/O ports, connections for peripherals, and high expandability.
Global top media Engadget pointed out "the MSI GT70 gaming laptop, one of the first gaming beasts out of the door with Intel's next generation architecture. Living up to its next-gen CES promises, this 17.3-inch behemoth falls squarely in the desktop replacement category, at 8.6 pounds, and packs a new 2.3GHz Core i7-3610QM processor, NVIDIA's latest GeForce GTX 670M chip with 3GB of video memory…."
Engadget pointed out, "crowning the notebook is a dark brushed aluminum lid, framed by a matte black band. Its hinge sits above a pair of stereo speakers and a fairly standard-looking control bar. Amid the display, power and WiFi toggles that normally crowd the keyboard deck, there's also a special turbo button that promises "one-touch overclocking," along with a "cooler boost" toggle that makes the unit's fan spin faster.
"They said "the machine's (GT70) typewriter boasts a "keyboard by SteelSeries" badge, and it lives up to the brand name. Each press is met with a satisfying mechanical click. The simple black keys are accented by a programmable multicolored LED backlight, which bleeds out from behind each keycap, dimly illuminating the translucent lettering on each of the keys."
Engadget keep pointing out, "The GT70's Dynaudio sound system is somewhat of a standard for MSI rigs, and for good reason. Loud and clear is the classic, apt description for the capable 2.1 speaker setup. The speakers have enough oomph to easily fill a room without distortion. Game audio and music flow richly from the stereo drivers and the orphaned subwoofer on the machine's underbelly, showcasing a clear left-right differential…."
Engadget mentioned "MSI GT70's "turbo" toggle on the laptop's touch sensitive control bar -- this activates the MSI Turbo Drive Engine, a one-touch VGA overclock tool that's supposed to sharpen the rig's already fine edge. With the overclock engaged, PCMark rated the GT70 at 14,225; 3DMark06 pegged it at 19,213, jumping its scores by 200 on both accounts -- give or take 20 points…."
Engadget praised "the GT70 wraps itself around the latest technologies; its build impressed us most. The keyboard, trackpad, chassis and speakers all bleed quality, sidestepping so many of the common sins that PC makers commit. This finely crafted icing make its screaming performance that much sweeter."
MSI Notebook points out that MSI's GT70 is the top battle laptops on the planet today and are the top choice of top players around the world (Top player, top choice!). Not only do they feature the epoch-marking processor using 22nm production technology and discrete graphics cards, they also come with unparalleled peripherals, such as professional Steelseries keyboards, industry-leading professional grade Killer Gaming Networking, the world's fastest read-write Super RAID Dual SSD, and up to 32G of memory, to meet the needs of serious gamers the world over.

The Other Dance Festival samples the city's modern dance scene
When Kay LaSota and Elizabeth Lentz decided to launch a dance festival five years ago, they weren't the first ones to cut the rug. Chicagoans love samplers (Taste of Chicago, anyone?) and several dance festivals—most notably Dance Chicago, which occupies the Athenaeum Theatre each November—already offered audiences the chance to check out everything from ballet to hip-hop. But as modern-dance artists, LaSota and Lentz wanted an event that celebrated the breadth of their genre exclusively. And to set their project apart, they christened it—tongue-in-cheek but tellingly—the Other Dance Festival, which takes place this year from Thursday 15 to September 30.
"We looked to get a representation of modern-dance artists working in Chicago," LaSota says, "people who had been doing work for 30 years, and then people who were a little newer on the scene and doing more groundbreaking work." That's still the idea—and a damn good one. This year's festival artists range from such long-established entities as Mordine & Company Dance Theater and the Chicago Moving Company to newer groups like the Seldoms. Plus, with up to six companies appearing on each bill, audiences get a good taste of the modern-dance scene in Chicago.
In recent years, contemporary choreography has been dominated by either narrative works or pure dance. Each had its heyday, but now, suggests LaSota, no one strategy defines the day. "I don't see a particular thing happening," she says. "It's more a matter of individuals following their own interests and ideas. And with this group, it's all over the spectrum. Some are more interested in classical forms of modern dance, sculptural forms, lines in space, canon. Molly Shanahan of Mad Shak Dance Company is really skilled at creating beautiful movement phrases. Others, like Breakbone, are very, very theatrical—much more about creating a picture or a story with music and video and costuming."
Text is popular, too. In creating Gertrude Stein, If You See Pythagoras, Tell Him We Are Waiting for him Here in Chicago, Nana Shineflug (artistic director of the Chicago Moving Company) asked performance artist Barrie Cole to pen some wordplay based on Shineflug's interest in mathematics, physics and the Kabbalah. Here, a musing on spirituality by Carrie Hanson of the Seldoms, features selections from Thoreau, Faulkner, Goethe and C.S. Lewis.
The festival, which takes place in the Hamlin Park Fieldhouse Theater, expands from two weekends to three this year and the final program features a roster of artists making their Other debut: Matthew Hollis, Rachel Thorne Germond Dance, Raizel Performances, MK Victorson and TOC Dance editor Asimina Chremos. Even this subgroup is all over the map when it comes to creating with motion:Our Velocity, from Rachel Thorne Germond Dance, is 15 minutes of nonstop, nearly chaotic movement; the set of Raizel Performances' Lake Banjo includes a canopy of silverware that provides both a visual and aural accompaniment to the lyrical and eerie dancing. Both Hollis and Victorson, on the other hand, take comedic turns.
Hollis, a tall redhead who often tackles gender issues, presents Power of Cheer, a pom-pom routine for three men that promises to let viewers "turn all of life's setbacks into touchdowns." Victorson—who has studied comedy writing at Second City—offers Ruby Red Easy, a lighthearted piece, set to music by the Commodores, about finding love in the produce aisle. (You know: Girl grabs grapefruit; boy spies girl; stock boys play backup to their budding romance.)
After four years, the Other Dance Festival has become an end-of-summer ritual for dance fans. The intimacy of the 90-seat Hamlin Park Fieldhouse Theater adds to the festive air. A number of these companies will present their own independent concerts this season, and this is the perfect opportunity to see what they're all about.
The Other Dance Festival runs September 15–30 at Hamlin Park.

Rating: 5.0By MC from CA. (Sunday, April 28, 2013)
A truely beautiful rug- I was suprised at the elegance of the colors- a soft light honey beige against the rich vibrant burgundy- truely stunning! I had designated this rug for a guest room but decided it's beauty would be lost to a rarely used room- so it goes to the living room which is being re-decorated. The service was pleasant, and the rug arrived quickly. -many thanks.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

That's a deep conversation to be having after being in a photo booth, y'know??

I recognize that set! Laugh all you want to about Ed Wood, Jr., but his films are always entertaining and never boring.
- May 13, 2009 at 7:21 AM
- Greg said...
Fox - A visit to the photo booth would indicate visitors.

Peter - I would laugh but I can't. Muzzled by army brass.

another quality Wood production

Quality = Wood.

So many "quality wood" jokes to be made here... but I'll take that kind of filth over to Bill's blog instead.

I didn't know you played the trumpet when you were in the corp. I'm glad to hear you're still playing. - May 13, 2009 at 11:34 AM

Fox, all I know is Inspector Clay is dead, murdered, and somebody's responsible.

- Samuel Wilson said...
It's scenes like this that simultaneously qualify and disqualify Wood from his legendary worst-ever status. Yes, the dialogue is hair-raisingly stupid, but it can't be the worst if it's so entertaining, can it?

This swamp is a monument to death. Snakes, alligators, quicksand... all bent on one thing: destruction.
Different movie, but still. - May 13, 2009 at 12:27 PM
- Greg said...
SW - Wood's dialogue is astonishing on many levels. It is entertaining but only because it is so monstrously bad. I often don't go with the whole "so bad it's good" idea of entertainment. Most bad movies are just bad to me. But PLAN 9 is an exception. I find it immensely entertaining and just watching a few quick scenes on my DVD last night cheered me up.

Bill, all I know is in my land, women are for advancing the race, not for fighting man's battles.

From yet another movie:
A wool or flannel robe, his feet encased in the same thick, tight-fitting leather that his shoes are made of...
That bit about the shoes...that has absolutely baffled me for years and years. - May 13, 2009 at 2:14 PM
- Greg said...
That bit about the shoes...that has absolutely baffled me for years and years....
Yeah, Wood's lines were baffling at times. His scientific dialogue in Plan 9 is unbelievable even for a five year old. Like this line:
"Why, a particle of sunlight can't even be seen or measured."
Yeah, that's right, now that I think about it I never have seen the sun! Or light! - May 13, 2009 at 2:28 PM
- bill r. said...
Yeah, but at least I can see what Wood was TRYING to say with the sunlight line. The shoe thing, though...it's like he's comparing a pair of shoes to the same pair of shoes. It's a frickin' Mobius strip, that line. It's the symbol for eternity re-worked as a shoe metaphor.
- May 13, 2009 at 2:49 PM
- Flickhead said...
Hey Greg, how about you and me balling it up in Albuquerque?
- May 13, 2009 at 3:24 PM
- Greg said...
Yeah, but at least I can see what Wood was TRYING to say with the sunlight line...
You can? No, I know what you mean. It's like saying his was covered by a garment of wool made of the same material his hat was made of. - May 13, 2009 at 3:54 PM
- Greg said...
Flickhead, that might cause a Solaranite explosion. I don't want to take the chance.
- May 13, 2009 at 3:55 PM
- Flickhead said...
Greg, have you seen Night of the Ghouls? As I remember, it was farther Out There than anything else by Wood.
- May 13, 2009 at 4:35 PM
- Greg said...
No, I've only seen Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster, & Plan 9, the last two of which came together in a DVD twofer deal I picked up a few years back.
I hear it's a sequel to Bride. I'll see if it's available on DVD and if so, I'm on it! - May 13, 2009 at 4:39 PM
- Flickhead said...
It's kind of a mash-up of the entire Wood oeuvre, set in the Lobo house of Bride of the Monster. Anything with a sham swami named "Dr. Acula" (clad in turban, 'natch) should be required viewing.
- May 13, 2009 at 4:42 PM
- Flickhead said...
You can get it @ Netflix!
- May 13, 2009 at 4:48 PM
- bill r. said...
Night of the Ghouls is batshit. I never saw the whole thing, but Jesus...it's out there.
- May 13, 2009 at 4:58 PM
- Greg said...
I just added it and moved it up. Oh boy! I'll soon be having a double feature of Apocalypto and Night of the Ghouls.
That shit is gonna rock! - May 13, 2009 at 5:03 PM
- Flickhead said...
Night of the Ghouls with Apocalypto? Let no one call you a lightweight. I couldn't possibly handle that much torque.
One of several interesting Night of the Ghouls trivia points: made in 1959, it wasn't released until the early 1980s. Wood couldn't pay the lab bill back in '59, so it sat on the shelf until someone squared the debt near the beginning of the home video revolution, after Ed had died.
Meanwhile, if you're into "I Predict" Criswell, check out the A.C. Stephens/Ed Wood Orgy of the Dead (1966). The hootchie mama dances quickly become redundant, but Criswell appears to be bombed out of his skull. - May 13, 2009 at 5:25 PM
- bill r. said...
I love Orgy of the Dead. It's an amazing film. The timing of some of the transitions from bad, "serious" horror to topless dancing are hilarious.
"Torture, torture! It pleasures me!" - May 13, 2009 at 5:57 PM
- Greg said...
I want to see Orgy and Night just for the screengrabs.
And Criswell of course. - May 13, 2009 at 6:42 PM
- Samuel Wilson said...
Criswell's in great form in Orgy. He gets an introductory speech that's right up there with his opener for Plan 9. Stranger yet, perhaps, is the film sometimes called The Revenge of Dr. X, made in Japan from a Wood screenplay and starring U.S. has-been James Craig as a mad scientist who says, "I refuse the word impossible!" while cultivating a giant plant-creature.
- May 14, 2009 at 1:40 AM
- Arbogast said...
I agree with everything everybody said.
- May 14, 2009 at 1:59 AM
- Greg said...
James Craig as a mad scientist who says, "I refuse the word impossible!" while cultivating a giant plant-creature...
I have never accepted that word either. In fact, using it would be impossible because... DAMMIT! - May 14, 2009 at 2:20 PM
