AMC Movie Theater HistoryHere's a trivia question: What do the letters "AMC" stand for in the name of the AMC Theaters? Take a moment to think about it...then discover the answer at the end of this introductory section!
The AMC Theaters are an American tradition, dating back clear to 1920! At that time, Vaudeville live stage variety shows were cooling down as places to head for dates and family outings. However, silent films were red-hot, hip 'n happening places to "see and be seen" by all one's friends. Movie theaters were already being built in all the hottest downtown districts of cities all over the country. And, entrepreneur Edward Durwood wanted a piece of the action.
In fact, he thought that, if anything, movies represented an UNDERrated segment of the entertainment market. Though some were pooh-poohing motion pictures as a "passing fad," he knew that there was talk of adding sound to mass-released films; and if "talkies" ever did reach the general public, there would be no stopping an ever-increasing torrent of films being produced to satisfy the clamor of the entertainment-hungry masses!
The rest is history. Edward Durwood started the Durwood Theatres, which were large, single-screen theaters (like all the rest of movie theaters being built at that time.) The AMC name was added to the company when Edward's son, Stan Durwood, took over the family business. He changed not only the name of the company, but also its focus: developing more-efficient theaters which featured more than one movie screen!
In the early '60's, the younger Durwood led the company as it opened the very first twin-screen theater in the USA. The year was 1963, a perilous time for the movie industry. Most homes now had television sets; and color TV was beginning to be broadcast for the most popular shows. Were people right---HAD movies been merely a fad? What a time to test this new concept!
AMC Theaters had a hit on their hands! The twin-screen theater was very popular. And, as Durwood had envisioned, it was also time & money-efficient, as one staff of employees could run both theaters, just as long as their showtimes were staggered. It wasn't long, then, until AMC built first a 4-screen and then a 6-screen theater. You might say that AMC Theaters "set the standard" for what is now virtually the one-and-only format for new motion picture theaters: the megaplex.
Other "firsts" for AMC included introducing theater armrests with cupholders, and stadium-style seating! (Where would we all be without stadium seating? It makes the difference, sometimes, between enjoying...or NOT enjoying...the film, depending on whose head is in the row in front of you!)
Are you ready for the answer to the trivia question? What do the letters "AMC" stand for? Our first guess was "American Movie Company" What was yours? And so, what's the REAL answer??? It's American Multi-Cinema! What an appropriate name for the company that invented the multiple-screen cinema house!

Temecula: AMC Temecula 10 Theaters; Big changes are ahead (again) for this cinema. Currently, customers enjoy this location because they can watch newly-released films for half of the average SoCal movie ticket price. Guests will face big changes soon as this older-theater gets a grand new renovation. Spruced up looks, both inside and out, are on the way...but that's just the surface coating. The auditoriums will be gutted and new luxury leather recliner seating will be installed...including expanded leg room (so those recliners may stretch out to their full capacity.) At the time of this update, movies are still being shown here...but it's not clear yet if a full or partial shut-down will be needed at some point. Work begins Summer 2018 and is expected to be finished in time for the Christmas holiday season. Once it's done, be prepared for a sticker shock, because AMC often increases ticket prices following major renovations. The address here is 27531 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591.

Bluetongue was 'detected and dealt with' in imported cattle brought into North Yorkshire.
UK deputy chief veterinary officer Graeme Cooke has urged farmers to remain vigilant for bluetongue virus after the disease was picked up in two cattle imported from France.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and the Pirbright Insitute identified the disease in animals brought to North Yorkshire from Central France.
Movement restrictions have been put in place at the affected premises and the cattle were isolated and humanely culled.
The UK remains officially bluetongue-free.
Farmers were also reminded there were strict rules on the movement of livestock from regions affected by bluetongue and animals imported from these regions must be accompanied by the relevant paperwork to clearly show they meet certain conditions designed to reduce disease risk, such as correct vaccination.
Mr Cooke said: "Bluetongue does not pose a threat to human health or food safety, but the disease impacts farming, causing reduced milk yield in cows and infertility in sheep.
"This detection is an example of our robust disease surveillance procedures in action but must highlight to farmers the risks which come with bringing animals from disease-affected areas into their herds. Regulations and systems are in place for the benefit of our UK livestock industry.
"It is also a clear reminder for farmers that the disease remains a threat, despite coming towards the end of the season when midges are active.
"Farmers must remain vigilant and report any suspicions to APHA. Farmers should work with their importer to make sure effective vaccination needs are complied with, source animals responsibly and consider the health status of their own herd if they are not protected
"Movement restrictions will remain in place on the premises for at least several weeks until testing rules out spread via local midges."
Farmers have the option to send animals without fully compliant paperwork back to France or to cull them as a measure to reduce the risk of disease spreading to susceptible UK livestock.
NFU chief livestock adviser John Royle said: "The NFU is aware that a number of cattle have been imported from France onto a farm in England.
"The UK's post-import surveillance testing identified that some of these animals were infected with bluetongue (BTV8) and posed a risk to other susceptible animals. These high-risk cattle have been humanely culled, demonstrating that our surveillance system is robust and successful in identifying these animals.
"Action has been taken to ensure there is no onward spread of disease, including the culling of animals, movement restrictions at the affected premises and targeted surveillance of cattle and midges.
"This is a timely reminder to farmers to be vigilant about the threat posed by Bluetongue. It is important that farmers and traders consider carefully the risks associated with importing animals and report any disease suspicions to their vet or APHA."
NFU Scotland's animal health and welfare policy manager, Penny Middleton said the discovery was a real concern for Scottish livestock keepers and underlined the continued need for vigilance, responsible sourcing and appropriate support and resources being directed to our veterinary surveillance system to allow them to monitor and stamp out the disease as soon as possible.
"While the bluetongue virus has been spreading in French livestock for some time, it was always unlikely that midge borne infection would reach Scotland this year and that importation continues to present the greatest risk.
"Surveillance systems south of the Border have proven robust but the reality is that infected animals have arrived in Yorkshire," she said.
"We urge all Scottish livestock keepers to source stock responsible, avoiding bluetongue areas if possible and remind themselves of both the symptoms and veterinary advice on the disease.
"Bluetongue is notifiable so any suspected cases must be reported immediately to the local Animal Plant Health Office."
UFU deputy president, David Brown said it was reassuring the disease had been detected quickly and swift action was taken but it was a reminder for livestock keepers of the importance of responsibly sourcing animals and to be fully aware of potential risks.
"Farmers should also be aware that they will not be eligible for compensation if an animal they import is found to have Bluetongue," he said.
"Northern Ireland has been Bluetongue free for a number of years and all cattle farmers want to keep it that way.
"Bluetongue is a notifiable disease and farmers should report any concerns immediately to DAERA," said Mr Brown.

This is a photo of the channel that flows between Lake Hubert and Clark Lake. The channel is located immediately west of the Lake Hubert Depot. Depending on water levels, water flows from Hubert to Clark or from Clark to Hubert. In 1997 a concrete control structure was installed between the two lakes replacing the old dam built by the WPA in the 1930s which was no longer functioning.
A fence, or weir is installed by the 30 Lakes Watershed District each spring to prevent floating vegetation from entering the channel and clogging the iron grates at the culvert ends. This weir has larger mesh near the bottom, which allows the free movement of fish.
This area was rip-rapped in 1998 with the help of Central Lakes College design students and grant moneys. Nisswa students also planted trees. In the Spring of 2000, Don Delage did all the ground prep work and then planted native grasses and wild flowers in the channel area and near the depot - many thanks to Don.
Scott Hough and Dean Rablin
have been keeping the channel clean and could use additional volunteers
to help them maintain the area - Thank you Scott and Dean!
Channel Dredging In June of 2003
Approved by the 30 Lakes
Watershed District and paid for by the Lake Hubert Conservation Association,
Brian Stumvol and his crew dredged the channel between Lake Hubert and
Clark Lake. The cleaning of this channel to maintain the water flow is
needed every few years. We appreciate Brian's willingness to work with
our association and Scott Hough's work in
making the arrangements.

Thursday Nights with Edgar
by Dave Gregory
Edgar Mekarski's flagrant disregard for hygiene and personal appearance unnerves everyone. Wrinkled and spotted with age, overweight with a fat, bulbous neck, basketball-shaped belly and sagging jowls, he is cursed with a severe stoop and a disconcerting habit of scratching himself in public. His tattered, tormented clothing is brown and grey, as though improperly laundered. The smell of sour milk clings to him, intermingling with chronic halitosis and body funk.
Thick, jet black hair grows from his ears but the unwashed, uncombed hair on his head is sparse, grey and lifeless. He has dandruff, too. A visible powdering is a permanent fixture on his threadbare overcoat. Calling it "Pixie Dust" fools no one. Strangers uneasily stand next to him in elevators or at cross walks.
His right hand is the most troubling. Two decades ago, he severed three fingers in an accident at his auto repair shop. Reddish-purple scar tissue covers much of his shattered palm and looks like it might start bleeding any moment. It never occurs to him to hide his mutilated hand. Shop clerks cringe as he takes money from his wallet, bank tellers look away when he fumbles with a pen and no one wants to shake hands with him – but Edgar is oblivious to their discomfort.
At seventy-three, Edgar has few pleasures in life. A simple man on a fixed income, he lives in a gritty, ground-floor apartment with an ant problem, peeling beige paint, and urine-colored water stains on the bathroom ceiling. He's owned the same brown behemoth of a car since before the oil crisis and remembers having all ten fingers on the shiny black steering wheel.
Thursday nights are Edgar's only social outings. That's when he and "the boys" – Abe, Al and Tommy, his partners from the auto shop which closed a decade earlier – descend on the Stately Raven, a warm and friendly but dingy little tavern. They come out of habit, keep to themselves, tell dirty jokes and feel younger talking about the old days.
Unfortunately, the Stately Raven is half an hour south on a crumbling, two-lane highway. Edgar refuses to drive if there's the slightest hint of winter in the air – which is from the time all leaves are on the ground until crocuses bloom on the grassy hill in the park across the street. This means he misses up to five consecutive months of Thursday nights, each year. His buddies live closer to the pub. Edgar considered moving to the tall, grey apartment building nearby but the threat of change overwhelms him.
In mid-October, before half the leaves have fallen, a freak storm dumps four inches of the white stuff. Edgar feels cheated. Late the next evening he walks through the park, kicking at snowdrifts. Hanging like a lightbulb in the dark sky, the full moon diverts his attention until he notices his moon-shadow, crisp and steely-blue against glistening snow. It is the brightest night Edgar can remember.
The glowing terrain is blotched with dark, brittle leaves, lying on the powdery surface like spilled gravy on a white table cloth. Edgar fancies sweeping them away with a whisk broom as though the snowy ground is pearly linoleum.
In the morning, temperatures climb above freezing and fallen leaves dampen with melting snow. Dark patches in a sea of white, they absorb the sun's rays and sink deep into the ivory carpet, hungrily consuming fragile flakes below.
When Edgar walks to the post office that afternoon, he notices countless pockmarks in the wintry landscape. People saunter along without gloves. He loosens his scarf. It is still autumn, Edgar reminds himself. Looking toward proud maples for confirmation, he sees many red and yellow leaves clinging heroically to lower branches. In three days it will be Thursday. Maybe another trip to the Raven is in order.
The next morning is warmer and wide patches of grass appear. All day, sunshine beats down as leaves gently fall. At noon, the ground shows more green than white and, by three o'clock, a thin, bluish-grey layer of snow remains only in shaded, low-lying areas.
On Thursday afternoon, Edgar takes another walk in the park, bathed in warm, reassuring sunlight. Standing on the path, atop a small hill, he slowly inhales, detecting notes of wet earth with a hint of decay. Approaching strangers see a crazy old man, lost and hyper-ventilating, scratching himself below the waist. Most choose another route. Holding his sour breath, a smile creeps across Edgar's weathered face. The decision is made: he will drive to the Raven that evening.
Smug and satisfied, Edgar arrives early and nurses a cold beer. The crowded bar is loud and dark. None of the stools match. Edgar sits alone, staring at scuff marks on the floor. Half an hour later, Al sneaks up behind him. "Ed, you crazy ol' fart." He greets him with a slap on the shoulder – even Edgar's friends won't shake his hand. "Didn't expect you tonight."
"Couldn't let you boys drink alone." Edgar's spirits soar.
Al orders a beer. Seeing Edgar's is nearly empty, he tells the bartender: "Make that two."
"There's a good lad," the older man gushes.
"Don't mention it. But say, ain't ya worried 'bout the comin' storm?"
"Storm?! What bloody storm? It ended days ago." His jovial mood tapers. Worry sinks in. "You're joking."
"No joke. There's another blizzard comin,' just like the one kicked up last week."
"But . . . but winter's a helluva long way off. Leaves are still on the trees, for Christ's sake! That last storm was a fluke . . . a freak."
"One freak storm, another freak storm. This is a freaky season."
The bartender slaps two beers on the counter. Al takes one. Edgar stares at the other. Thin traces of mist seep from the narrow spout. No longer wanting to talk or drink, getting home is his only concern. "It can't snow tonight," he protests. "It's Thursday."
"It's snowin' already, Ed. Take a look." Al points to Abe and Tommy who have just entered. Illuminated by neon beer signs, they weave through the crowd, brushing dime-sized flakes of snow from their overcoats. "That ain't Pixie Dust, my friend."
Edgar's heart pounds. Right hand to his chest, he wipes cold, dry skin on the back of his neck with the other. He turns to see the bottle waiting for him, condensation forming on the label.
When Tommy and Abe pat Edgar on the shoulder, his greetings are gruff and muttered. Eyes fixed on the brown bottle, he fidgets while the others talk. He is morose and his friends know why.
"Maybe you should head home," Tommy suggests, "before it gets worse."
Edgar yearns to heed that advice but departing seems cowardly. Leaving an unfinished beer troubles him, too – it's rude and wasteful. Nonetheless, he drinks faster than usual.
Abe sees Edgar's hands shake. "Relax, Ed, I can put you up for the night. My son'll drive ya home in the morning. Forget the weather, we're here to have fun."
"I am having fun, damn it," Edgar claims. Confirming this, he takes a long swig from his beer and nearly chokes. One drop spills down his chin. He smears it with the back of his ravaged hand, which he wipes on his pants.
Though tempted by Abe's offer, Edgar hasn't slept in any bed except his own in decades. The strangeness overwhelms him.
After his final sip, Edgar pushes away the empty bottle.
"Can we at least call ya a cab?" Al asks.
Hands trembling as he buttons up, Edgar insists: "I'm fine to drive with a few flakes in the sky," but his refusal is based on cost, not weather. He also wouldn't know how to retrieve his vehicle in the morning, when the roads will be buried in snow.
Stepping outside, Edgar shudders at a thin blanket of whiteness. Cursing, he unlocks his car, gets in and revs the engine. Falling flakes become magnified in the beam of his headlights.
Before shifting into gear, he takes three deep breaths and is soon heading north along the highway. Edgar's foot is heavy on the pedal, windshield wipers at maximum speed, defrosters on high. His surviving knuckles are white as they grip the aging steering wheel.
Heart thumping, he switches on the radio, hoping it will calm him. It doesn't. Tuned to a station playing hits from the fifties and sixties, the speakers suddenly roar. Christ, not that, Edgar thinks. He reaches for the dial as a horn suddenly blares from a yellow cube van headed south.
Edgar jerks the wheel. When his old Pontiac begins to swerve on the snowy highway, he tries steering out of it but fishtails in the opposite direction. Then he slams his brakes and the car spins. Staying on the road, he comes to a halt, blocking both lanes of traffic. A second southbound vehicle tries to stop but rams the passenger side of Edgar's sedan, shattering two windows.
Following the crash, the southbound driver remains buckled, too shocked to move. Looking straight ahead, he watches Edgar's body convulse before it slumps over the wheel.
A brave soul emerges from one of six cars stopped on the highway and runs to Edgar's aid. After laying him on the cold, wet road, he forces breath into his putrid mouth and pumps his blubbery chest. More cars arrive and others come to assist but see it's useless. Many drift back to their vehicles for warmth while a small crowd stares, awestruck, as a stranger wrestles a gruesome corpse.
Once motorists adapt to the tragic situation, they become aware of indecently inappropriate music. Through smashed-out windows, Edgar's radio roars like an abandoned child. The Lion Sleeps Tonight, by the Tokens. A high-pitched whine is followed by endless chanting. Repetitive lyrics transport everyone deep into the mighty jungle.
The man performing CPR notices his chest compressions are synchronized with the melody. He shudders, leans over and vomits onto the wet roadway. Sensing hopelessness, he takes Edgar's right hand to check his pulse but throws away the mutilated claw in favor of the other.
Edgar dies as the Tokens wail happily. Their piercing falsettos penetrate the frigid night and mock the tragedy. Most people on scene find the song irritating under the best of circumstances. Those who like it are ashamed to catch themselves foot-tapping to the rhythm, in such close proximity to a cadaver.
Eventually, the station cuts to a commercial but this offers no relief as the song effortlessly slips from the airwaves to the audio replay mechanism of their brains, where it remains long after police arrive and the road is cleared.
In death, Edgar Mekarski continues to unnerve people. His grim memory lingers like an unshakable song. As long as the witnesses live, the slightest provocation of sound or image recalls that macabre night and the high falsetto of those familiar, prophetic words urging them to hush and not fear.

Since starting my first company at 22, I've invested in over 70 private companies. I've seen some great financial returns, but have also realized a number of other benefits.
When the topic of investments comes up among entrepreneurs, I'm surprised how many think it's either not possible or not a good idea. When you're immersed in the startup world and surrounded by amazing people working on incredible projects, I see a lot of upside to getting involved where you can — even if you have little (or no) cash to spare.
There are three major currencies for an investor: capital, expertise, and connections. It's easy for entrepreneurs to overlook the last two. Like any allocation of time, there are pros and cons. But I wanted to clear the air and show entrepreneurs that it's easier than you may think to invest in other founders — and to share some of the benefits I've experienced.
3 ways for founders to invest
There are three general ways for founders to invest*:
- Use your company valuation to become an accredited investor
- Partner with a fund or angel
- Become a startup advisor
1. Use your company valuation
One of the first people we tried to hire at my first company, Xobni, was a friend working out of our apartment. His name is Drew Houston and he started Dropbox shortly thereafter. He wanted more equity than we were willing to give him as an employee, and he wanted to do his own thing (which worked out pretty well), so he passed. If we'd succeeded in persuading him, Dropbox might not have happened!
Drew moved to California, went through Y-Combinator, and raised his first real round of financing. My cofounder and I were lucky enough to participate in that.
The challenge of investing in private companies, unlike public companies, is the requirement that you're an accredited investor. The first tip or trick that a founder can use is that you can become accredited based on your net worth, and that net worth doesn't necessarily have to be liquid. In all likelihood, it will mostly be the value of your company. In this case, we had raised a VC round, which valued our company at millions of dollars. Therefore, my co-founder and I were accredited on paper.
The accreditation requirements are unfortunate because it prevents a lot of people from being able to participate — even in small amounts when a really good friend is building a company like Dropbox. Luckily as an entrepreneur, you can use your company's valuation as a loophole to get accredited.
My investment in Dropbox was at least 10% of my liquid cash. It was a small amount of money, but not small to me at the time.
2. Partner with funds and angels
If you're a founder, odds are you know a lot of other founders. Having a personal connection to a company is extremely valuable to funds that are looking for an "in", so I found ways to partner with funds through scout programs. These partnerships give me more leverage on my money.
After I'd made several small investments in startups, some funds saw a mutually-beneficial opportunity. One well-known fund, CRV, came to me with a good proposition – "Hey, what if we worked together to write $100K check – $10K of your money, $90K of ours?"
Through that partnership, I'm an investor in some companies I'm really excited about. One example is Snapdocs, now backed by Sequoia. It was a great deal for both of us: CRV got exposure to some new companies, and I got the opportunity to write bigger checks. I honestly don't know if anyone else was doing it at the time, but it worked.
Oftentimes, I would get in early through a personal connection and write one of the first checks. I'd get to know the company more and more over the course of working with them for a year or two. Then they would raise another round of financing at a high valuation and offer me a chance to go in. I wanted to participate but didn't have enough cash. That's where a partner came in handy.
Another trick I figured out for partnering: I was an early user of AngelList. It's well known now but for a while, people weren't fully utilizing it. I'd piece together anywhere from $250K – $400K to invest in companies where I had inside access, because I'd already put money in or had a connection to the founder.
A great example of this model is Teachable. I've come into that company through three different funds: my own personal seed check, two rounds partnering with a fund, and some advisory shares to boot (more on that next).
Since I've become a fairly active investor, some people have asked me why I don't join a fund. I've had the opportunity . . . but I know it's not for me right now. I don't want to attend partner meetings or commit to a company as their series A board member for five years.
It's also important to note that I've only worked with firms and partners that I have personally taken money from. I've never done this with somebody I've never worked with as an entrepreneur. Since I'd be recommending them anyway, this way I get the upside from one of these deals, and the VC gets to participate in a pro rata round and expand their network.
3. Advisory shares
Instead of actually putting in capital — whether it's yours or a partner's — you can put in time. These give you what are called advisory shares.
Become a "Spiritual" Cofounder
I've done deep advisory roles in companies with solo founders. Oftentimes, they need somebody to call at night after they've been beat up by VCs and employees all day long.
It's those conversations where you can really use a co-founder, but maybe they don't have one. I've acted as that early co-founder-type advisor to solo founders at four or five companies. I'll take a point or two, be involved with the company very deeply during the first 6 to 12 months, and then taper off my involvement afterwards.
Sometimes I'll invest out of a fund alongside of my own cash in subsequent rounds, but regardless, this is a great way to get equity in a company without actually having to put dollars in.
Use your domain expertise
With my last company, I became well-versed in mobile user acquisition and funnel optimization. I have a friend who was running a company that was doing well, but needed help in those areas.
I got involved as an advisor and I would join a marketing meeting twice a month. It ended up working out very well for me. Frankly, if I was doing a regular investment, I wouldn't have even been able to get the same ownership: when I got involved, the company had a $60M+ valuation. It would've cost me a lot to get the same ownership via a traditional investment.
I really like this route because it allows you to effectively monetize the expertise you've developed at your own company.
Why founders should invest in startups
You can make a very strong case for focusing on your own startup and not bothering with outside investments. But in my experience, the pros outweigh the cons. Here are a few benefits to investing in other founders that you may not have considered.
Harry Markowitz once said "The only free lunch in investing is diversification." As a long-time investor, I definitely think about that.
There's a huge imbalance between the situations of venture investors and the entrepreneurs they back. For entrepreneurs, this is their one company; for venture investors, they're diversified in 15-30+ companies per fund. This means that a smaller exit might be good for you and not good for them. They're swinging for the fences, whereas you have one shot.
Now that I'm invested in 70 companies, I get to enjoy some diversification as I pursue other startup ventures. It levels the playing field a bit and makes you less reliant on this one thing working out.
This is also something I really like about Upside Partnership. If you take money as an entrepreneur from their fund, they give you upside in their fund. You get to diversify and you are incentivized to help other portfolio companies.
Knowledge sharing
When I did user acquisition and funnel advising for another company, they were actually a bigger scale with many more users than my startup. This meant that they were learning much quicker than I could. It definitely helped me develop my thinking around messaging, user acquisition, and funnel optimization.
As an early investor at Dropbox, I got a firsthand look at some of the best user acquisition strategies in action, such as dual-sided incentive programs and virality. It then informed my thinking around the next business I built.
At my first company, Xobni, we successfully used an invite system. We learned it from our first investor Paul Buchheit, who was the creator of Gmail. I then worked with the founders of Mailbox to implement the same strategy. In the end, that knowledge was passed down from the Gmail founder, to us, to MailBox — and all three of us used it incredibly successfully.
There's so much you can learn by having an excuse to work with other founders and see what's effective for different startups. By getting involved as an advisor or investor, you can accelerate your own learning in ways that will benefit your own company.
Pay it forward
There's an undeniable loneliness of being a CEO.
Once you've been through it and made it out the other side, there's a lot of value in the reassurance you can offer to a founder who's having a rough week.
I just got off a call with a founder who was feeling beat down about common day-to-day struggles: "Ugh, this is taking longer than I want….This guy won't join, I want to hire him so badly…My investors are worried about XYZ."
I was talking to another founder who bootstrapped his company. His 10-year-old wants a backyard, and he lamented that "I don't have any money." There are so many stresses of running a company, and it's really nice to have somebody else to talk to. People have helped me, so I do the same for other people — even if I'm not invested in the company.
It's the unwritten rule that you pay it forward. People were so generous to me with their time and ideas when I was just some grad school dropout trying to start my first business. Now that I've accrued some experience and learnings, I have the opportunity to pass it on to other entrepreneurs.
Excuse to hang out with people
I'm 37 and just had a baby. Life is very full, and I can't make time for friends the way that I used to. It's really nice to have a productive reason to catch up with my buddies!
A lot of people I invest in are friends: people that I've known before they started companies, or when they were running a previous company. It's really nice to answer a call from your friend and say "Oh, it's one of my investors – we should catch up on the business" (or the other way around). You have something to talk about on the business side, and inevitably you end up talking about the next surf trip, or what's going on with the kids.
One of my really good friends founded a company that was recently acquired by Amazon. When he was in the trenches building that company, we were talking a lot more. We caught up the other day and realized that we hadn't talked much for the past eight months since he started working at Amazon!
When you're in it and you need that advice and people to talk to, it's a good reason to maintain friendships.
Running a startup is hard enough. All of your investors and employees are counting on you to be 100% focused on your business. You don't have the time to go out and take lots of meetings to assess potential investments.
I knew all that, but landed on a way to responsibly invest. The thing that I just did over and over again is I would just invest in people that I knew well and I had worked with before. Luckily, I worked with some really great people!
As a founder, it's easy to overlook your expertise and connections. I suggest that you leverage it to diversify yourself, work with your friends, and give back to the startup community.

Jose Gimenez spared Uruguay from a stuttering start at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The Uruguay defender headed in the winning goal Friday against Egypt in the 89th minute of their 2018 World Cup opener. Uruguay now moves level on points with Russia in Group A, although "La Celeste" still trails the host nation on goal difference.
Uruguay was favored to win, but its day seemed destined to end in disappointment due to Egypt's dogged defending and its own inability to create many scoring chances. Meanwhile, the Pharaohs weathered Mohamed Salah's absence and looked to earn a surprise point through collective effort.
All this was the case until Egypt gave away a last-minute free kick, which Carlos Sanchez lofted into Egypt's penalty area.
Sanchez is in the lineup for his defensive prowess but he's showing a knack for goal-scoring lately.
Egypt is back in the World Cup for the first time since 1990, but its wait for a first win continues.
Man of the match: Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy backstopped Egypt's determined defense and made three saves.
Next up
Egypt plays Russia on Tuesday, and Uruguay takes on Saudi Arabia on Wednesday in the teams' second Group A game.

Les Miles' Son Transferring To Another School Makes Complete Sense
Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Ben Miles, son of former LSU head coach Les Miles, announced yesterday on social media he would be transferring from Nebraska.
The key word in Miles' tweet is "schematically".
Nebraska fired former head coach Mike Riley following last season, and hired former UCF head coach Scott Frost.
Riley, who ran an offense that featured the fullback position, recruited Miles in hopes he would be the fullback of the foreseeable future for the Cornhuskers after he redshirted in 2017.
Frost's offense system does not even include a prototypical fullback position.
Ben Miles was a standout prep star at Catholic High of Baton Rouge, receiving scholarship offers from LSU, Navy, Boston College, Purdue and Michigan State, before accepting the offer from Riley to play at Nebraska.
He has not announced where he plans to transfer.

Energy Drinks: a Gateway Drug?
Energy drinks are everywhere. What once was a market that was owned by the infamous bull who's commercials promised to give its customers "wings," is now a multi-billion dollar industry. Kids have gotten their hands on the cans, teenagers love them, and adults are using them to power through their days. It's almost as though people have this perception that they can't get by without a jolt of caffeine in a can—which sounds a lot like psychological dependence.
In a recent study published in the June 2017 Journal of Addiction Medicine, researchers at the University of Maryland found that young adults who drank energy drinks on a regular basis, were significantly more likely to use certain drugs, and were also at an increased risk of developing alcoholism. The study followed over 1,000 students for a five-year period, and found that those who drank energy drinks consistently or drank an increased amount, had higher rates of cocaine use, prescription stimulant abuse, and alcoholism. This suggests that energy drinks are a gateway drug.
These findings are serious, especially considering the popularity of these drinks. The increased risk of drug abuse, particularly stimulants, doesn't stop there. In the addiction treatment industry, some believe that energy drinks also threaten recovery by providing a substitute high which can lead to relapse. The high levels of caffeine in these drinks targets and triggers the area in the brain that produces cravings. Once it is triggered, it wants more of the substance, and signals the individual to seek the next high. Though caffeine is generally a safer drug than other stimulants, this study suggests that it is a gateway to more serious and deadly substances.
Further research is needed to expand our knowledge on the connection between caffeine, methamphetamine, cocaine, and alcohol. Until then, prevention efforts to warn youth about the dangers of regularly consuming energy drinks is imperative. Whether it's requiring warning labels on cans, or including caffeine abuse into drug education, the more information we can provide to young adults, the better.

As someone who is already a fan of the songs from the original Avenue Q, I was super excited to be seeing the new musical live at the Lighthouse in Poole.
Co-Produced by Sell a Door's Richard Darbourne and Co-Created by Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Robert Lopez, they aim to draw in the screen addicted social network generation to keep the future of live theatre alive. You'll also be interested to know that Robert Lopez also penned the soundtrack for Disney's very successful animated feature 'Frozen' with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez – that's why it's so awesome!
Now a highly successful musical, Avenue Q continues to make audiences laugh their socks off all around the world.
So what's it all about?
Avenue Q is one of the least upmarket streets in New York, but is home to some lively and interesting characters, performed by a comedic alliance of humans and puppets.
The story follows Princeton, a puppet and college graduate who has just moved to Avenue Q hoping to follow his dreams and find his purpose. His lack of money, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wacky friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a funny journey of self-discovery.
Avenue Q will leave you laughing from the pit of your stomach and singing along to some of the catchiest songs you've ever heard in a musical.
I'm not usually a musical fan, but being that this one's a little rude, I enjoyed every single moment.
The puppeteers did an amazing job of making themselves one with the puppets. Their facial expressions and body language made it all fit together perfectly. Throughout the whole show the set was similar but was slightly adapted to each scene which I thought was really clever and it looked great too.
Looking back on the whole show I can't find a negative thing to say because I was immersed fully into it for the whole duration. I loved all of the characters because they all had the likeability factor including both the naughty Bad Idea Bears and Lucy the Slut.
The three songs of the whole show that stood out the most for me were 'The Internet is for Porn' because it's one I knew already and I love the lyrics, 'Everyone's a Little Bit Racist' because the lyrics are so true and 'Schadenfreude' because whether we admit it or not we do laugh at others misfortune (like falling over).
I had a really great time and highly recommend this show if you love the thought of The Muppets with some added spice!

Why are so many aspiring entrepreneurs investigating business models like dropshipping and multi-vendor markets as options for opening online stores? Convenience. As the owner of a multi-vendor marketplace, you can make money selling products without touching a single piece of inventory, without packing a single box. It seems too good to be true, but sites like Amazon, eBay, and Qbids do it every day.
Online retail is booming. There are 95 million Amazon Prime members in the U.S. alone, spending an average of $1,500 per year. Large multi-vendor markets like Amazon carry many different products, but they don't sell everything yet. They profit by serving niche markets—surfacing specialty items that consumers are searching for. Smaller business owners can profit by starting their own multi-vendor market or by adding eCommerce functionality to their existing site.
Here are some marketplace basics to help you decide if a multi-vendor store is the right business model for you.
What's a Multi-Vendor Marketplace?
An online multi-vendor marketplace is a website that hosts third-party vendors who provide products and services while the owner manages the website. Customers buy the products on the marketplace and the owner gets a commission from every sale the vendors make.
Multi-vendor marketplaces benefit both owners and sellers. Owners don't have to find products to sell and vendors don't have to build and maintain a website. Vendors can focus on providing quality products and owners can focus on building a brand.
Types of Multi-Vendor Marketplaces
One of the strengths of multi-vendor marketplaces is their flexibility—you can mold them into anything you want. For example, eBay and Qbids are auction sites that aggregate products for customers to bid on. Craigslist is a marketplace for classified ads. Amazon is a third-party retail host. All are marketplaces that afford vendors an opportunity to trade in products and services.
Marketplaces are also known for the types of products sold. Some sites like Overstock or AliExpress sell everything from smartwatches to coffee mugs made from Legos. Other marketplaces focus on niche markets like baked goods, high-end watch bands, or offbeat arts and crafts.
General Marketplaces vs. Specialty Marketplaces
Specialty marketplace owners invest more time searching for vendors than owners of general retail marketplaces do. But niche marketplaces make marketing easier—you're marketing unique items for an engaged audience, not a grab bag of products. Customers looking for these specialty items are more likely to buy. There's just fewer of them.
Multi-Vendor Marketing Pros and Cons
You can't just launch a new eCommerce website and simply wait for vendors to trip over one another trying to set up shop. Depending on your business goals, a multi-vendor marketplace may not be the best solution. But for many eCommerce store owners, marketplaces are an efficient way to make money with less direct store management.
Managing a multi-vendor marketplace is a lot different than selling products you make. Instead of managing the success of one line of products, you're now in charge of many different ones. You're hitching your eCommerce wagon to many different stars. If one fails, your whole site is the less for it.
Then again, as a multi-vendor marketplace owner, you no longer have to order, ship, and stock products yourself. Most people don't get into the eCommerce game because they love affixing shipping labels.
As a multi-vendor store owner, your vendors take care of that. You have fewer day-to-day store tasks to complete and more time to focus on the cool stuff—optimizing your marketing and technology.
Product Variety
One of the marketplace administration tasks you'll have is approving products for sale on your site. Even though vendors bring the products to you, you'll still need to approve them. Low-quality or off-brand products will affect your consumer reviews and your sales. If you run a niche marketplace for homesteading products, you don't want a vendor selling alarm clocks (unless the clocks are shaped like Red Rock roosters).
Although you have more product oversight duties, you can "stock" many different products without actually having to acquire them. You can offer customers a much wider variety of items and brands using vendors than if you were doing it alone.
As a multi-vendor marketplace owner, you get paid a commission for every sale to offset the costs of maintaining the site. That's a new revenue stream if you're new to eCommerce and an additional one if you're adding a marketplace to your existing store. And, for those with existing stores, you benefit from the increased traffic and can continue to sell your wares right alongside the other vendors.
But you will need to invest some time and money getting your marketplace operational. This process is easy and affordable with the right eCommerce platform, multi-vendor plugin, and website hosting service.
How to Get Started
There are some key decisions to make when setting up your multi-vendor marketplace. While it can be tempting to base your choices on immediate needs, make sure you're also looking to the future of your store. Don't forget to ask, "What will my store need in three years?" Start with a strong foundation and build your eCommerce empire from there.
What's the Best eCommerce Solution for You?
Ease of use and flexibility are the most important things to look for in an eCommerce solution. Some all-in-one store platforms offer a quick start-up, but little flexibility for branding, plugin integration, or store expansion. It's easy to get started but hard to change later.
Open-source plugins like WooCommerce are built with flexibility, integration, and customization as top priorities. Since both WordPress and WooCommerce are open sourced, you can change anything you like about them. Both platforms appeal to store owners who want the power and flexibility to stay competitive.
Vendors don't want to showcase their products just any old place. They look for power, speed, and flexibility in a marketplace. So, your eCommerce solution will affect the quality and number of vendors you attract.
How Much Should You Charge Vendors?
As a marketplace owner, you'll charge a percentage commision, which should be high enough to make a profit and low enough to attract vendors. If you cut too deep into your vendors' profits, you'll discourage them from selling on your store.
Most marketplace owners have a floating percentage fee that changes depending on the product sold. For example, Amazon charges a variable "referral fee" that changes with the product category. Personal computers have an 8% charge, while Amazon device accessories have a 45% charge.
You can base your fee structure on the markup of an item or its popularity. If an item is very popular, you might lower your percentage to keep prices attractive. Then consider charging a flat rate (e.g. 15%) for items that don't fit into categories.
You can use the Amazon referral fee structure as a base to create your own or search for similar marketplaces in your niche and see what they're charging vendors.
Who Handles Inventory?
Sure, the sellers bring you the products, but you still need to set guidelines for those relationships. For example: Who will upload product information to your site? You could let vendors upload their own, but then you're putting the approval process in their hands. What if they upload something of low quality or that isn't on brand? On the other hand, if you do it all, you'll have to budget the time.
You also need to decide who will track and order out-of-stock items. Customers can't buy an item if it's not available. Vendors are incentivized to make sure products are ready for purchase, but not every vendor is as motivated as you'd like them to be. Again, you have to find the right balance between product control and time management.
What Multi-Vendor Plugin Works for Me?
Along with an eCommerce solution like WooCommerce, you'll need a multi-vendor plugin that integrates with your store and delivers the features you need. Here are a few features to look for:
- Integration. Make sure your plugin works with your current WordPress theme.
- Price. Do you want a subscription service or a one-time plugin purchase?
- Flexible commission rates. Lets you set different commission rates for product categories.
- Table-rate shipping. Gives you the flexibility to set complex shipping charges based on destination.
- Vendor management. Vendors can upload their own products and set shipping rates.
- Payout Options. You have to pay your vendors. Find a service with options like PayPal or Stripe.
Dokan is a multi-vendor plugin that combines the features of an intuitive vendor dashboard, customer commissions, and integration into one package.
Multi-vendor marketplaces offer store owners and vendors an opportunity to divide responsibilities and profit together. But they also give consumers advantages like more product offerings, lower prices, and a better experience, overall.
For a niche marketplace, vendor competition ensures better quality at lower prices even for specialty products that tend to have a bigger price tag. In the end, it's the customer's experience that will make or break your store, and wrangling a group of highly motivated, quality vendors for your customers is one of the best ways to profit in eCommerce.

Garbage – Queer
Another great music video suggested by one of our readers. Thank you, Sean C.!
"Queer" was released by Gargbage on their fist album in 1995, instantly becoming highly successful and critically acclaimed. In the same year, the song was accompanied by the band's second ever music video:
"The music video for "Queer" was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui for Propaganda Films and filmed in July 1995 in Los Angeles. Sedanoui's video concept developed from his own personal experience of being "shredded into pieces" by a beautiful woman. The black and white storyline of the video saw a young male's first person perspective of exiting an elevator onto a Los Angeles street and meeting Manson. She coyly entices him to follow her to her home where the men from Garbage are waiting. They detain him inside, forcing him up onto the second-level of the house, where Manson throws him to the floor, strips him of his clothing and blinds him with gaffer tape. He recovers to find Manson shaving his head, before she drags him outside by his legs. He is then seen strangely happy, and in full colour, leaving the street" – Wikipedia
Looking for filming locations for this low resolution black-and-white video was quite tough, but we got all but one!
The first hint was a partially visible sign on 0:15, saying "Han… Cakes", which turned out to be Hanson's Cakes. Luckily, it is still in business and at the same spot. Note the gable, skyscraper in the background, street light position.
Following the plot, the man walks out of the elevator onto the street (across the street from the previous freeze frame). In the scene you see this part of the pavement, between the tree (did not grow that much in over 20 years) and the tall lamp post. Note the sign and the building in the background as well.
Shirley Manson appears standing across the road from that same building you saw in the first freeze frame. You have seen that it has changed a lot, but in the Street View image from 2007 the sign (circled in red) is still there.
Another hint: the bridge. Since the number of bridges in Los Angeles is finite and that they are easily searchable on the map, this location was not hard to find:
This one is a lucky find. A part of the music video takes place on one of the streets next to the previous location. Note the distinctive patterns on the wall to the left from Shirley – large lighter bricks, small darker bricks, metal bars, etc. See how it looks on the Street View:
The building behind Duke Erikson and Butch Vig:
More than half of the video is set around/in this house in the next picture. Unfortunately, its location could not be determined. There are no hints on where it could be apart from the lamp post. Those, however, can be found in multiple districts of LA, including Pasadena, Toluca Lake
Let us know if you have an idea of where it is!

The Home Movie
Remember home movies, which were silent, short clips that cost money to develop so you were careful what you shot?
In today's New York Times op-ed, Frank Rich writes about the above home movie, Disneyland Dream, by amateur filmmaker Robbins Barstow about his family winning a trip to Disneyland. In 2008, it was enshrined in the National Film Registry alongside many films including The Terminator and the terrific Elia Kazan/Budd Schulberg satire A Face in the Crowd.

All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Keys
Nobody told me there'd be days like these, especially the night before Christmas Eve. It's a tale of keys lost and found that Rube Goldberg could not have charted.
Parker Spitzer was airing a pre-taped greatest hits -- including the excellent stocking stuffer of Gene Simmons on his visit to the Anne Frank house -- so I had a rare day off. My girlfriend was in Colorado with her folks, my kids were out of town with their mom. So it was Errand Day.

Divorce Is Hot
Divorce is a rite of passage -- like losing your virginity, marriage, becoming a parent, going through illness and losing your parents -- that you can hear about forever, but not really understand until you've experienced it yourself.
But unlike those other examples, which are generally honored and supported by societal rituals, divorce is quite isolating. There aren't greeting cards or parties or showers, there are only ruptured friendships, an underlying sense that you might be contagious, or that you have torn up the societal contract.
So I was fascinated to read that with much fanfare, prominent divorcees Nora Ephron and Arianna Huffington have unveiled
