Last year Cold War Kids played The Newport as part of CD101's low-dough series for $5. The show was sold out and absolutely insane. This year the tickets were $24 and it sold out again (which surprised me). It was not as energetic as the previous show but I was more familiar with their material so I really enjoyed myself. They played a good mix of songs from their new album, Loyalty to Loyalty, and their old album, Robbers Cowards. The highlights included performances of We Used To Vacation, Hospital Beds, Saint John, Hang Me Up To Dry, and Mexican Dogs, and all the videos for those songs are included below. Enjoy.

Cuckold queen Shannon Kelly gets her pussy stretched
Shannon Kelly is one of the hottest redhead women I have ever seen. I love her because shes sexy and she loves black cock. Even if shes in a relationship with a white guy, shes getting some black meat on the side.
White guys dont have a cock big enough for a woman whos tasted black dick before. Once you get that first taste, no wimpy white cock will be able to satisfy you. Shannon Kelly let her husband know that she was going to be fucking black cock behind his back or in front of his face and made him watch her take that big black dick in her throat and get her pussy stretched out.
After a woman gets fucked by a real black cock, theres no reason for her to fuck her husband anymore. His cock wont even fit.

Now heres a curious thingve long taken a more than passing interest in the stats for my blog and have seen the figures rise steadily over the last few months. When I started Crusty Nomad in June 2007 I had fairly low expectations but set a target of 1000 hits a month so making 12,000 in a year. There was no real gain to be had by larger numbers, just the interest in that others we were interested enough to be reading what I was writing.
After a mad rush of entries at the beginning I had a spell of burn out and wrote just a couple of fairly random posts during November. This saw hits drop to as low as 219 in December as I made no new updates that month at all.
As we moved into February 2008 I got the bug again largely due to being introduced to the writers site helium.com. This allowed my writings to be ranked against others on the same topic and to earn during what was called an rewardathon. The rewardathon process was to encourage regular article submission and the ranking others work. The more stars you earned, the more you make on an increasing scale. Eventually this netted me $100.50. Not a great return for the effort but excellent in forming good writing habits.

1 Ainda que eu falasse línguas, as dos homens e dos anjos, se eu não tivesse o amor, seria como sino ruidoso ou como címbalo estridente.

2 Ainda que eu tivesse o dom da profecia, o conhecimento de todos os mistérios e de toda a ciência; ainda que eu tivesse toda a fé, a ponto de transportar montanhas, se não tivesse o amor, eu não seria nada.

3 Ainda que eu distribuísse todos os meus bens aos famintos, ainda que entregasse o meu corpo às chamas, se não tivesse o amor, nada disso me adiantaria.

4 O amor é paciente, o amor é benigno; não é invejoso, não se ostenta, não se incha de orgulho.

5 Nada faz de inconveniente, não procura seu próprio interesse, não se irrita, não guarda rancor.

6 Não se alegra com a injustiça, mas se regozija com a verdade.

7 Tudo desculpa, tudo crê, tudo espera, tudo suporta.

8 O amor jamais passará. As profecias desaparecerão, as línguas cessarão, a ciência também desaparecerá.

9 Pois o nosso conhecimento é limitado; limitada é também a nossa profecia.

10 Mas, quando vier a perfeição, desaparecerá o que é limitado.

11 Quando eu era criança, falava como criança, pensava como criança, raciocinava como criança. Depois que me tornei adulto, deixei o que era próprio de criança.

12 Agora vemos como em espelho e de maneira confusa; mas depois veremos face a face. Agora o meu conhecimento é limitado, mas depois conhecerei como sou conhecido.

13 Agora, portanto, permanecem estas três coisas: a fé, a esperança e o amor. A maior delas, porém, é o amor.

Well you know me. I'm up for anything and I thought it was just a pick-up line and we would go back to his place, he would take a few photos and then we'd end up fucking.I can't count the number of times that's happened but I was totally wrong. He actually wanted to take photo's of me but he needed the perfect backdrop so we went to the park and I posed in front of the statues.

An outstanding picture series of a gorgeous girl. I think it has the best pussy shots ever and what an incredibly beautiful pussy this girl has. I like the more serious look Sahara has here. The way she looks into the camera without a touch of coyness while doing the explicit poses is sexy. Sahara wrote on the AW forum: I love my pussy too! I used to be insecure about having really big protruding labia but now Im proud. I love all of the little folds and creases of my pussy lips and its so nice to share these things with the world. Thanks a lot, Sahara, for all the viewing pleasure you have given, in this and in all your previous videos and picture sets.

Vicky is a butt fucking slut who loves it in the ass. Watch this dude get into some ass worship, he starts by rubbing and kissing her ass. Fingers her pussy while he sucks that asshole. When she is lubed up really good, he gives her a nice ass fucking. This is hardcore anal porn at its best. There is nothing like the feel of a tight butt hole gripping your cock.

Helloooo everyone!
Just got back from a trip this week to Switzerland then Germany as we start the album promotion. We went to Munich doing lots of interviews, mostly with newspapers. It was a very busy schedule this time so we couldn't go out and sight-see much. It depends if you need to wake up really early in the morning as to whether you go out, and it was a crazy few days. I'd almost forgotten what it's like, given our nice LONG break...but I'm always busy doing something anyway and it's great getting stuck back into it and talking about the album. Normally we have free time when we are touring, because we don't have such a busy schedule, and I like to see the cities by night. But every time we've been to Germany and Switzerland, it's always been so quick that we haven't had much time to look around - we were literally going in and out!
The album is completely finished now, and we're very excited about it. We took one year off to make it, investigating which songs we could do and trying to do something new. Obviously the new surprises are 'Hallelujah', which is not a typical Il Divo song; it's a quiet song with no big ending. And 'Amazing Grace', which we sung acappella. I think it's a really beautiful album, I think it's the best of all four we have right now - all five if you include the Christmas album! We did the photo shoot for the album sleeve in France. The cover of the album was shot in a room of Marie Antoinette's, which was beautiful.

 Several weeks ago, I was leaving Stage 3 after saying my goodbyes to the crew when somebody called my name.  I stopped and turned to meet the guy who fast approached.  He looked vaguely familiar but I couldnt place the face.  he said, no doubt reading my confusion.  Tyler McClendon.  Of course.  Tyler, our new resident wraith.  The reason I hadnt recognized him was because, outside of the audition in which Id cast him, Id never seen him out of prosthetics and make-up.  In a most unwraith-like display of professional courtesy, he thanked me for casting him and told me hed had a wonderful time on the show.  I, in turn, thanked him for all of his hard work and asked him whether he might be interested in doing a fan QA.  Well, it turned out he was familiar with the blog and assured me hed be more than happy to interact with the fans.  Convention organizers take note
DasNdanger writes: First, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed your Wraithy performances, Tyler – you had big boots to fill, and you have done so quite nicely. I really enjoyed your roles so far in Broken Ties and The Queen, and look forward to any future appearances. Too many favorite moments to mention, but I will say that I love how you’ve played the whole ‘irritated Wraith’ thing, and in such a way that isn’t over-the-top. It made Kenny quite entertaining, especially with his ‘I do not know, I’m not on the ship’ line, and then when – without a word – he obeyed Sheppard’s order to head to the nearest gate, giving him that ‘Happy now?’ look afterwards. Very well-played!
Which leads me to my first question:
1. How difficult is it to convey expression/emotion with your face concealed under all of that make-up?
2. Was it ever explained to you – or do you have your own ideas – as to what the Wraith finger armor is supposed to be for? Is it a tool? A weapon? Just ornamentation? (I am determined to find this out!)
3. In your mind, why did the Wraith in Broken Ties want worshippers? Is it just a power thing, an ego boost, or something else? And what was his motivation behind turning Ronon in particular? In some ways, it almost seemed like he was trying to make Tyre jealous.
4. Some Wraith actors have said that they do not see the Wraith as inherently evil, though they are portrayed as the villains. What is your perception of them?
5. Was that really you who visited us on Gateworld as ‘tubbs’? If so, thank you again. I hope we didn’t scare you too much.
That’s all for now…I’ll leave something for others to ask. Thank you, Tyler, for your time, and for being a part of Atlantis, and especially for creating exciting new Wraith characters for us to watch and enjoy and discuss. We love these guys, and really appreciate all you’ve done in bringing them to life.
Thank you for the kind words Das. 1. Well, its kind of a double-edged sword. Though your expressions are limited by the make-up, it also does a lot of the work for you. Things like a glance or a flick of the eyes are more exaggerated when your face is so Being my first episode as a Wraith, I spent a lot of time during BT experimenting in the make-up.
2. Ah, the finger armor. Ive never officially been briefed on its function; however, I recall quizzing the prosthetics team (this will be the first of several times I will mention how amazing the prosthetics team is on this show . . . theyre amazing) during my virgin voyage into wraithhood on Broken Ties. Aside from some speculation, I didnt get too far. Then I started looking for clever opportunities to use the finger armor during the filming of BT. No Luck. Next thing I knew, my hand was severed and the opportunity to find a use for it became irrelevant. Im sure the writers would have an explanation if I were to ask, but Im more interested in discovering a cool function for it. Im sure Ill find one when the opportunity presents itself.
3. Good question. In my opinion, considered the Satedans a genetically superior race. So if he was to recruit worshippers, they were probably high on his list. Tyres addiction to the enzyme made him reliant on and vulnerable to manipulation. Rhys used Tyre to track down Ronon, the one person he saw as the key to defeating Atlantis - making Ronon a far more valuable asset than Tyre. So turning Ronon was really just a strategic decision.
4. Since SGA is told through the eyes of humans, any threat to the human species is inherently evil - to the implied audience. To embody a Wraith, I need to view the world/universe through their eyes and sympathize with them. And because their hierarchies are rather strict, I need to be absolute in my choices. That means completely committing to every decision my character makes, with zero doubt. Are they evil? Evil according to whom?
5. It was . . . and yes, is a childhood nickname I was blessed with (insert chubby kid story here).
BlueJay writes: We named the Broken Ties wraith Rhys, did that wraith have a name that was used on set?
Provided Kenny survives the season and you were available would you continue this role in the Atlantis movie? (hint hint Joe)
Which eps are you in this season and how many different wraith do you play?
What have you done that could find its way onto the dvd blooper reel?
How do you think Kenny felt about his commander playing nice with the humans? About having humans on the ship to begin with?
We see Kenny take an order from sheppard, to take them to the nearest Stargate. Standing orders from Todd made him obey? just glad to be rid of them?
Todd has been betrayed by his fellow wraith before, do you see Kenny as the loyal type?
1. No. Thanks for naming him though. I like that name. Think it should be on the name list for my first born?
2. Absolutely. As Joe has said before, scheduling is usually the main factor. But yeah, in a heartbeat.
3. BT, The Queen, First Contact, The Lost Tribe, Outsiders, Enemy at the Gate. Four.
4. There may be a copy of Rhys doing his best Christopher Walken impression floating around out there somewhere.
5. Violently opposed. We had other concerns to deal with. Allowing humans on the ship was a sign of weakness and if another hive was to discover this . . . well, you know the rest.
6. Just following orders. There wasnt really an advantage to doing anything else, since Kenny was also unsure what was going on.
7. Loyal to the hierarchy. But, if the hierarchy is breached or reveals a weakness . . . you never know.
Rachel writes: 1) If you had to pin point one thing, what would you say is the most difficult part of the costume/prosthetics to work with? What is the easiest?
2) What made you decide to take the role?
3) How much creative freedom were you given in playing your characters?
4) Running on the assumption that it was actually you who dropped by on the Gateworld forum, on a scale of one to ten, how crazy do you think we all are?
1. Most difficult thing to work with? Well, everything has its own level of difficulty. The make-up is out of my arena. The prosthetics team (have I mentioned how amazing they are) is all over the make-up. Most of the time Im reduced to just standing there and letting everyone do their jobs. That means, two people adjusting the costume, one person touching up my make-up, one person adjusting my contact lenses, one person strapping on my weapon, one person putting on my microphone, one person fixing my hair, and one person fixing any loose fingernails. All at once. But, the fingernails are the most difficult. It makes you realize how much you use your fingers throughout an average day. Things like putting on your boots can become a ten-minute ordeal.
2. To play a monstrous, life-sucking, genetically superior, intimidating, highly intelligent alien being on a top rated Sci-Fi series? Sounded pretty good.
3. Good question. More than I thought I would. Obviously I had to fit the general parameters of how Wraith behave, but I wanted to find my own way into the role. Seeing what others had done in the past, I was eager to find something new and interesting. Luckily, Joe wanted the same thing.
4. Nine . . . kidding. Not at all. SGA has a worldwide following. So to call yourselves is to call a lot of people around the world crazy. Besides, seems kind of negative. I prefer passionate.
MyFavoriteWraith writes: 1. While filming on the Wraith sets (I believe it’s Stage 2?) did you encounter feeling funky, strange or even ‘hungover’ from the atmosphere there, as other people have reported in the past?
2. In your previous acting experience, had you ever gone through this much make up and costume before? And now that you have, would you ever do it again?
3. Any hope of seeing you in the SGA movie(s) as Wraith or human?
4. You and Aaron Cravon seemed to get on quite well, at least according to Joe’s blog video clip. Anyone else you struck up a friendship with or bonded with while you were on set?
I would love to hear you talk ad nauseum about what it was like to play a Wraith but I’ll be merciful and just leave it at those questions. I’d also like to add my thanks and congrats on playing two of the most outstanding Wraith characters on the show. In Broken Ties you were creepy, sadistic and yet alluring. I loved Kenny - he was snotty yet endearing. Bravo for those amazing, memorable performances. Hope to see you on the small or large screen again soon.
1. I believe you are referring to the Norco Studios. Located about 15 minutes from the Bridge Studios. Yes.
2. No. Yes.
3. Well . . . Im hoping. Does that make my answer yes?
4. Yeah, Aaron and I know each other as actors local to Vancouver. Hes one of the finer actors Ive had the pleasure of working with. Any bonds? Well, my appearances are pretty sporadic, so thats a tough one. The crew definitely grows on you. I mean, they work their butts off and still have the courtesy to treat the actors like gold. How can you not bond to that? The problem with being a Wraith is once youre out of make-up, no one recognizes you. So I have an attachment to a bunch of people who have no idea who the heck I am!
Laura Dove writes: First of all, I want to say that I enjoyed the wraith you played so far, especially Kenny. While not as impressive as Todd, I loved his calm assurance and sense of superiority (and I loved he outlived the episode *sigh*). He seemed to think stupid humans! whenever they were asking stupid questions.
So, here are my questions:
1. Was it really you who came on the Wraith Defenders Club GateWorld forum? If yes, I must say I admire your courage to affront us crazy wraith fangirls.
2. Did you discuss wraith topics with Chris Heyerdahl, especially for The Queen? How much backstory do you add to your characters, beyond the episode script itself? I know Chris added a lot of personality to Todd: Did you do the same with the Broken Ties wraith or with Kenny?
3. How do you view Kenny’s opinion of Todd’s relationship with the humans from Atlantis? Is he considering it a mistake, or on the contrary an interesting opportunity? Or does he simply follow his Commander’s decisions without questioning them any further?
4. Do you feel underused as an actor, since we can’t really recognise your real face? (Actually, I find it even more impressive to be able to display emotions with wraith makeup, but I’m curious about your opinion.)
5. Kenny is named on-screen, but when your wraith is not, such as in Broken Ties, do you invent (the crew, or you personally) a name for him? If yes, how did you name the Broken Ties wraith?
6. You must know that some of us (dasNdanger, I, and a few other rabid fangirls…) immoderately love wraith. How do you view our fascination for the bad guys? Are we scaring the crap out of you? Do you feel sympathy for the wraith despite their need to feed on humans?
Thanks Laura. No, they havent killed Kenny yet. He-he. 1. See above.
2. Not really. Chris is a veteran on the show and he had a lot more work to do in that episode than I did. So as the new guy, I just try to stay out of the more seasoned actors way. Theres sort of a mutual respect between actors where we assume the other person has their act together (backstory, character arc, etc.). The director is usually the only person I seek advice or collaboration from. Other actors, especially those playing Wraith, just have too much to deal with (wardrobe and costume). Backstory? I guess I add as much as the script demands. The temptation is to create all this cool backstory for your character and show as much of it as you can during shooting. But thats just not realistic. Its important to have the backstory, but you need to know when its applicable to that scene, episode, etc. Yeah, I wanted to add a lot of personality and backstory to both the BT Wraith and Kenny - as any actor would. Pulling back was the hard part.
3. Red flag, error, stop, do not collect $200 and pass go. Bad, bad, bad.
4. Not in the least. Before playing a Wraith I would commonly get cast as the young cop, young deputy, rookie FBI agent, young priest, etc. This role gives me the chance to play a when most of the industry doesnt see me that way.
5. No. Most of the time it was just bring in Tyler or the baddie. I thought wouldve been funny, but it doesnt really fall in line with Sheppards more common name assignments (Bob, Steve, Kenny etc.). I believe a fan named Rhys.
6. Well, they are pretty cool bad guys after all. I think its great that youre so into it. Im that into it. Yes, I do feel sympathy for them. Even though theyre considered the theres a lot about these guys that we can relate to. They need to survive on a limited amount of resources. Sounds familiar doesnt it?
I’ll transmit questions from Degilwen in the Wraith Defender Club:
1. How do you feel under all this make up and with long hair?
2. Do you know that girls love you in this Wraith Costume?
3. Have you problems to eat with this make up?
4. What do you think about the fact that SGA Close the Gate and make now a new Show/movie?
1. Hot. Temperature I mean.
2. Insert *blushing* here.
3. Yeah, it can get a little tricky. I try to drink everything from a straw and eat everything from a fork, so as to insert the food without any snags. I know that sounds awful, but its not so bad. I dont like to eat a lot when I work anyway. It makes me sleepy.
4. Well, nobody likes it when the show theyre working on gets the axe. Im sure SGU and the Atlantis movie are going to be great. These guys have a pretty good track record.
Noir writes: - How does it feel to play a Wraith? Does the behaviour of the people around you change when you appear in fully make-up and clothes? And what about your behaviour? How much does your appearance influence your way to talk, walk etc?
- What do you think about the Wraith in common? About their culture, their social behaviour etc.? Do you like them?
- Have you ever been tempted to leave the Bridges Studios – in fully make-up! – to drink a cup of coffee somewhere or go by bus, only to see how the people outside react?
- I really love the hair of the Wraith – especially of that one of Broken Ties – btw: one of the most handsome Wraith I’ve ever seen. This Wraith’s hair seems to be really soft and thick. How does the hair of the Wraith feel in reality?
- Is there any character you would really like to play someday? And what kind of roles do you prefer as an actor: comedy, drama, action films or love stories?
Thanks for answering our questions and my best wishes for your future. Hope to see you in the movies.
1. I feel mean. Really mean (tongue-in-cheek doesnt translate so well on a blog). You can always tell whos new to the show by the way they act around you. While the regular crew barely even notices you, new people tend to be a little more fascinated by the make-up so they stare a lot. I dont think it influences my behaviour too much. As I said before, it does a lot of the work for me.
2. See above.
3. HA! That would be a trip. Yes, Ive often thought of it. Just to see the reactions on peoples faces would be priceless. But I like my job, so thats as far as it goes. Also, the make-up is very frightening in real life, so the publics safety would be a concern.
4. They do not go cheap on the wigs. These are some of the best wigs Ive ever seen. Incredibly authentic and heavy.
5. Any megalomaniac villain really. I dont have much preference in terms of genre. If the material is good, I want to do it. Thanks Noir.
Davidd writes: Hey Tyler. I have two questions for you if it’s alright, I’m not sure if they’ve been asked already, but I’ll try anyway:
1) What got you started in acting? Had you always wanted to act?
2) What are the pros and cons of being a Wraith?
Well, I guess that’s actually three questions, but…
Hey Davidd. 1. As a kid, I remember being completely flabbergasted that the guy who played Mork from Ork was the same guy who played Popeye in the feature film. Is that when I decided to be an actor? I doubt it, but I think thats when my interest in the craft began. I started studying acting seriously as a teen. After high school I earned my BFA in theatre, got an agent, and started auditioning . . . and auditioning . . . and auditioning. Three years and 4 agents later I landed my first paid acting job - a one liner on Andromeda. Can you say things looked pretty grim? Why I persevered is beyond me. But here I am playing a character I love on a really cool show, so it looks like things are starting to pay off. 2. Pros: see above (the life-sucking, genetically superior stuff), plus its a lot of fun. Cons: Overheating. In full costume its easy to begin perspiring and its difficult to cool down. If were rehearsing a death scene, Ill try to limit the amount of times I get down on the ground because of the energy I expend doing it. Obviously certain things have to be rehearsed, but just trying to cut down on vigorous physical movement until the cameras are rolling usually helps.
Wraithfodder writes: 1) Just what is the process it takes for you to be made into a Wraith, such as how long does it take to put on and remove the makeup, how long do you have to be in it, what are the drawbacks? Like those contacts that cover your nice blue eyes (yes, I was looking at pictures at IMDB)
2) Have you done roles like this before (extensive makeup)?
3) How did you get into acting?
3) Are you in anymore SGAs, and if not, what is your next project?
1. The prosthetics team usually works on my face for the first couple hours, then the hands, next Im sent off to the hair department, then final touches (like fingernails and contact lenses). The entire process usually takes between 3 and 4 hours. The length of time in full make-up can vary, depending on how many scenes Im in that day. Drawbacks, see above. 2. No. 3. See above. 4. See above.
Naamiaiset writes: 1. What first interested you in acting?
2. Who have been your favourite people to act with/interact with on and off the SGA set?
3. Any funny bloopers on the set you can tell us about?
Hi Naamiaiset. 1. See above.
2. I dont think I have a favorite. As a Wraith, I spend the majority of my time with the prosthetics team. I mean, we spend 4 hours together at the start of every day, so Im definitely the most comfortable around them.
3. See above.
Karen writes: Aren’t you just waiting for someone to say Hey, you killed Kenny? (tho I am not a fan of South Park)
I see that you played hockey when you were 7, Do you still play? What or who is your favorite hockey team/player? I am a Panther fan, I hope they do better this year. Luongo is one of my favorites. And what do you like to do in your spare time to decompress and relax?
I may have heard it once or twice. Yeah, I still play about two or three times a week. I grew up in Vancouver, so my team is definitely the Canucks. Actually, Im listening to the game on my computer as I write this. We just scored against Anaheim! Favorite player is probably Todd Bertuzzi. Hes got speed, good hands and can absolutely lay guys out when he wants to. The whole Steve Moore incident was a real shame. Yeah, the Panthers are due for a good run. Id like to see them go far in the playoffs this year. My secondary fav team is usually Montreal, but Ill keep an eye on Florida and see if theyre worth cheering for this year. Thanks for the goalie by the way.

celebrating the fifth anniversary of a bull market that had created $10 trillion in shareholder wealth since 2002. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard Poors 500 index hit all-time highs on Oct. 9, 2007.
A headline in USA Today captured the prevailing sentiment: s run could keep going for a while.
In fact, the party was over. The subprime mortgage problem that was laid bare by a decline in home values developed into a much broader credit crisis that toppled giant banks and financial institutions.
Panicked investors have been fleeing from stocks. The SP is down 37 percent from its peak of 1,565 a year ago, closing at 985 on Wednesday, and the Dow has tumbled 35 percent from 14,164 to 9,258.
Most experts dont see a recovery until theres greater stability in the housing market, banks are lending freely and employment improves.
Unlike other periods that saw precipitous drops, this one is rooted in foundering credit markets. That makes predictions more difficult than if the plunge were based on company profits or stocks alone.
When you have an environment like this where the crisis is so deeply rooted from the credit standpoint, it adds an extra layer of ambiguity and ultimately of uncertainty, said Mark Freeman, portfolio manager for Westwood Holdings Group Inc. That is what the markets are struggling with.
No turnaround is seen before 2009 or later. And there is a wide divergence of opinion on the future of this bear market, which feels unlike any other because of the $700 billion federal bailout and the collapse of investment banks.
Even with the Federal Reserve and other major central banks around the world slashing interest rates Wednesday, experts were hesitant to call a bottom.
Technical indicators tell us that were overdue for at least a short-term bounce, said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist for San Francisco-based brokerage Charles Schwab Corp. That doesnt tell us that the bear market is necessarily over.
This bear market a term often defined as a prolonged drop in stock prices of 20 percent or more already is harsher than most of the 10 bear markets since the 1930s. Those markets have lasted an average of about 16 months from peak to trough, with average stock losses of 31 percent, based on SP data.
Since the record 83 percent plunge in 1929-32, the current market is exceeded only by the drops of 49 percent in 2000-02 during the tech stock implosion and 48 percent in 1973-74 during a recession and energy crisis.
The magnitude of this decline is close to that of the dot-com collapse earlier this decade, but this time, its not just retirement accounts and stock portfolios that are being hurt. Increasingly, the availability of loans and credit is drying up, too.
Rob Arnott, chairman of Research Affiliates LLC in Newport Beach, Calif.

So you want to learn Spanish? Well youve come to the right place. Quetzaltenango, otherwise known as Xela, in Guatemala is one of the best places in Central America to study Spanish. Language courses are very reasonable, most will happily place you with a host family and there is plenty to do when youre not studying those tricky verbs.
Quetzaltenango/Xela is Guatemalas second largest city, with over 127,000 people who are by and large friendly and happy to test out your new Spanish skills. Quetzaltenango has some beautiful architecture and pretty cobbled streets set against a backdrop of a dormant volcano. Its high in the hills at 2334m so the temperatures are mild year round with an average of 70-80°F (21°C) during the daytime and 45°F(7°C) at night.
Xela also has a lively night scene with bars and cafes dotted around the city. The locals and Spanish students dont let the 1am closing time dampen their spirits, they just party harder earlier in the night.

Finding the ripe approaching for this review is the most difficult writing tasks Ive been faced with for some clock time. I sawing machine Clerks 2 non more than 20 proceedings after pickings in a screening of Cassius Marcellus Clay Gs exuberantly uproarious new plastic film Borat – a film that made me laugh so unvoiced and often that I distrust I may experience ruptured a middling full of life internal organ, perhaps i of my kidneys. When a comedy causes you to have blood in your can, perhaps the MPAA of necessity to make a new rating of some tolerant (PB-13) Everyone powerfully cautioned this celluloid whitethorn campaign you to piddle pedigree for 13 years.
The ground for this middling distasteful excursion is that by the time the possible action titles began to look for Clerks 2, I frankly wasnt sure I was capable of any further laugh that nox. In retrospect I power have been better cancelled to get waited, but screw it, I got in rid and I actually precious to realize it – I was a brobdingnagian fan of the original and ingest been a slap-up fan of Kevin Smith. Yes I liked Mallrats (if cypher else it introduced the world to Jason Lee) in fact the only film that hes has made that I didnt particularly concern for was John Jay and Silent Bob Hit Back. Even so, anyone wHO doesnt admire Smiths insightful mental capacity, his endowment for dialogue and below it all his big heart ar fools wHO should, at the selfsame least, have their gondola towed away to an undisclosed location each time they go to the movies. That way rather of polluting taboo good breathable atmosphere with their mindless opinions, they nates expend the rest of the night nerve-wracking to rule their cable car.
Clerks 2 picks up with the contrive of characters Smith introduced us to lo these many years ago 10 age later. We pick up the string several months after The Fast Stop has been destroyed by fire, to find Dante Alighieri (Brian OHalloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) working at a fast food institution known as Moobys. (Existence a cicily Isabel Fairfield seashore rapper, I dont know if Moobys is real or fancied merely it bears a resemblance to McDonalds) the deuce head newcomers to the Adam Smith flock ar Rosario Dawson as Becky the restaurants manager, and Trevor Fehrman as Elias a cunning and happy-go-loopy nebbish whose virginity, sci-fi-love and mamas boy Christian background make him the perfect enhancer for Randals unrelenting badinage. Both proven to be stark fits, in particular Dawson wHO folds into commix without the slightest trip. Her playfully intimate scenes with OHalloran, did much to bring up his game. OHalloran in truth delivers a nice performance in this celluloid, and unitary would for sure hope that he might parlay it into the kind of solid life history that many of Smiths disciples have enjoyed.
The same can sure be aforesaid of Jeff Anderson, wHO virtually vanished from being after the first-class honours degree Clerks which I always persuasion was rather odd as he was distinctly the star of the celluloid. It seems like I remember reading about Anderson having a falling stunned with Ian Smith, which crataegus laevigata or crataegus oxycantha not have got whatsoever ground in sojourner Truth, but would sure as shooting explain why he didnt appear in whatever of Smiths subsequent films until his role as the grease-gun salesman in In Maxwell Anderson hits the base running as the love Randal the speedy ardor, voice of brutal frankness, and with 10 years of age on his look his resemblance to St. James the Apostle Forest is all the more marked. He too shares Woods hang for poker-faced timing.
I would say that this picture show wont be treated abominably well by the critics, though David Smith is known for talkative films, there ar a few scenes where he tries your patience with overindulgence expounding and at times the photographic film feels at shade lifeless and laboured, like it was all pickings place in a vacuum, and though these ar slightly more than minor quibbles, Id let to allege that the film contains some of Smiths c. H. Best comic piece of writing. Even though my laffer was painful, I soundless laughed one underworld of a lot. Next to the original I would rank this one as his second funniest moving picture, although the topper still belongs to Chasing Amy. Oral presentation of which Ben Affleck makes a walk-on, walk away cameo and Jason Richard Henry Lee actually plays a fair polar purpose as Lance Dodds, a former schoolmate whos made a kill on the internet and likes to come in and rub Dante Alighieri and Randals nose in the fact that theyre working in libertine food in their thirties. Alas Ian Douglas Smith only uses Lee side as a plot of ground device to bring about Randals existential terror attack, I would consume preferred to visit a little more manhood injected into Lees Fizgig, simply then again hes only on sieve for less than 2 proceedings.
Certainly a brobdingnagian deliverance grace of is that it offers a lot more than Jay and Silent Bob. Mewes makes the virtually of his screen door time, his Buffalo Card bits ar in earnest hysterical, and as always Silent Bobber gets by with his use off his expressive eyebrows. As for the donkey show, Id order it neither hurts nor helps the motion picture. Thither is an unexpected twist that makes it peculiar enough at multiplication to make for, but it also felt like something Smith tacked on to ratchet up the shock-factor. We ar certainly acquiring hard to blow. In the span of 4 hours I saw Borat, Clerks 2 and Origin. tween Borat and Clerks 2 on that point isnt an identifiable tatter of political correctness left, they literally obliterate it in shipway that are both elysian and absolutely hilarious. Then comes Declivity to stopping point me off all told.
To total up, Clerks 2 isnt a bulletproof photographic film, my biggest squawk has to be the sentimentality that gets mixed in toward the end. It just was all wrong to go from equus asinus dicks to a bid for tears. Mix comedy and heart is something Smith proved he could do in Jersey Girl (a film that was below the belt criticized) just to try to add spirit into the Clerks mix in was a mistake. The original was a straight up salacious comedy, and it will perpetually remain one of my all fourth dimension favorite films. Dead on target in that location was a love level of sorts at the heart of just theres nada I canful separate you around it that wouldnt be a spoiler, besides the drippiness that I ground inconsistent with the films tone had nix to do with the love story. Simply thats sufficiency asinine knit-picking, I view Smiths films the way I thought Beatle albums. Sure theres passing to be a few songs that youre non crazy about, simply occur on – its a Beatles album.
Adams Take
Clerks II finds Kevin Smith revisiting his original stomping grounds after pickings an unfair drubbing for the fresh and underrated Jersey Girl. The end resultant role is pretty curious amble down memory lane.
Clerks II picks up tens old age after the original. The Warm Occlusion has burned to the ground, so life long buddies Dante (Brian OHalloran) and Randall (Jeff Anderson) create the big vocation alternate to quick food. Moobys to be accurate – a fast food eating place that you may remember from the screaming Dogma.
After a year at Moobys, Dante Alighieri prepares for a new chapter in his life as he plans on a marrying a gal (played by Jennifer Schwalbach Smith – Kevin Smiths real life married woman) that never gave him the fourth dimension of day in high school. Meanwhile, Randall remains what hes constantly been - the quintessential devils advocate smart ass.
Joining the funny adventures this time around ar Trevor Fehrman as a nerdy 19 yr older with a God Almighty of the Rings fetich, and the gorgeous Rosario Dawson as Moobys coach and Dantes close acquaintance and confidante, Becky.
Kevin Smith has changed a large manage through the long time, and that explains his characters changes. Clerks II has that raunchy, crude sensibility around it, but this gentler Kevin Smith has tied the legal proceeding with an unexpected sweetness. At the centre of Clerks II, is a true romance. Piece I dont want to go into the wHO and why of this particular scenario, I will tell that it plays surprisingly well, thanks mostly to some fine acting.
Smith too breathes a little nonfictional prose life into fictitious shirker hero Jay (the always diverting Jason Mewes). As Clerks II opens, we take that Jay has gone to rehab and has been clean and sombre for quite a quondam. It doesnt stopover the long hirsute joker from selling dope, only hes sure as shooting a slight more sane. Hes fifty-fifty establish Supreme Being and goes so far as to call people Its all ty diverting. Mayhap the funniest moment in the word-painting has a implicated Tacit Bob (played by Kevin Smith) cheering Jay up when he fears his buddy might relapse. He does so by playing Good day Horses on his boom box, prompting an eccentric Jay to do the Buffalo Bill dance from Silence of the Lambs.
Of course, most of the films biggest jokes fall into the capable manpower of Jeff Andersons Randall. He slings damage like Porch Monkey and delivers a breathless reenactment of the Noble of the Rings trilogy. Whats more, Randall shows a piffling bosom this time around, in particular in the films final releasing moments.
Trevor Fehrman does an adequate job as a warren Burger flipping teenager named Elias. Hes more singular than shady, simply he gets extra points for an absolutely hilarious bit involving trolls (with the paper to The Lustrous playing in the background no less). I wont go whatsoever further than that. Rosario Dawson is utterly refulgent as Becky. I merely adore her in this film. Whats more, she makes everyone about her better. Plus, her fiber Becky is o.K. with ass-to-mouth (under the right circumstances) ya gotta love that.
Kevin Smith is inactive knifelike as a writer. Hes strongest when hes sticking to pop culture. His Nobleman of the Rings/Star Wars argument is one for the ages, and there are plenitude of other moments in the plastic film that are short too dirty to talk of. In fact, David Smith himself was quite astonished when he well-educated the film got an R rating. He didnt make to cut anything. A self-aggrandizing shocker considering this film has the donkey view to end all donkey scenes. Unhappily though, this sequence isnt particularly funny. I break Adam Smith props for referencing one of my front-runner 80s comedies – the hilarious Bachelor Party, but the donkey conniption in this film felt up flat to me. Honestly, it was as if Smith only invest it in to up the grossness divisor. Theres zero organic around it. Even the more than repulsive moments in the original Clerks (i.e. Caitlin Bree fuck a deadened guy) matte like they were actually share of the tale. I likewise could ingest done without the gimmicky, piss-weak cameos. Ben Affleck appears for virtually no understanding. Jason Lee fares slightly better, simply not by much.
I laughed quite a bit throughout Clerks II although I must take on, that with exception of the troll thing, I was already familiar with most of the terminology in this motion-picture show. Thats where the first pic one ups this 1. Most of the things in Clerks that made me laugh, were things I had never heard over (i.e. snowballing). It had novelty on its side. Since Im twelve days older now, Ive more or less caught up with Smiths outlook. Smooth, this guy rope excels at pop culture related dialog.
As for the fresh parts of the movie, they neer really network with the dirty parts. The counterbalance isnt quite thither. At times, Clerks II plays like Island of Jersey Girl with hawkshaw and farting jokes. I hypothesise Smith would have been well advised to go unrivalled way or the other. It is possible for a film to walk both lines at the same time (hell, The 40 Year Old Virgin did it simply last year), merely Clerks II doesnt quite rip it off. Whats more, at that place are some genuinely unnecessary scenes in this film, none more than so than a unpointed cart episode typeset to the musical stylings of Raindrops Hold Dropping On My Head. Bum and distracting.
Other moments that youd think wouldnt work come cancelled surprisingly well. Included - a King John Ted Hughes elysian musical telephone number and a touching, male bonding moment betwixt Dante Alighieri and Randall. One made all the more insightful after hearing Randall exalt that hobbits ar goose egg more than faggots. I likewise real loved Smiths use of black and white cinematography. He uses black and stanford White to book end the motion picture to very strong effect.
If youre a fan of Clerks, chances ar youll enjoy Clerks II. The tarradiddle does come full r-2, and where the characters end up does work sense. This isnt as overstrung as the first film, merely the characters stay true to world Health Organization they are. Instead of eyesight these guys go around a normal do work day, you have a sense of wHO they really ar. And the thought that Dante Alighieri comes to realize that he actually loves everything he intellection he hated, is an fair one. Theres a genial of verity to Clerks II and even though this lunaria annua offsets the raunchiness a bit, it represents a more suppurate Kevin Smith. Ill always be a fan of this guy rope.
I liked the fact that you guys both liked the plastic film but for different reasons, I lked it because I fianally got to experience Randalin natural process once again, 10 yeras is a long time to wait for the Rand man.

TBS MLB on Deck Announcers Ernie Johnson, Curtis Granderson, Dennis Eckersley and Cal Ripken
Smoltz on the Dodgers sweeping the Cubs: There are a lot of series going in surprising (directions), because some starting pitching is dominating some great offenses. LA put together three dynamic starts and they shut down the team with the best record in the National League. Everyone talks about the 100 year history that (the Cubs) were toting on their backs, but many people who were following the second half of the season with the Dodgers werent surprised. Maybe they were surprised by the three game sweep, but are not surprised that they competed as well as they did.
Ripken on the White Sox keeping U.S. Cellular Field overly damp: That ballpark (U.S. Cellular Field) is like quicksandthey put a ton of water on there. Ozzie (Guillen) used to love it as a shortstop, I used to hate it because it feels like youre running on the beach. For a running team like Tampa, I dont know if (the Sox) have doctored it for that reason, I would doubt that they have, but its going to be tougher for them to run.
Eckersley on White Sox pitcher John Danks: (John Danks is) coming into his own, he really is. Hes taken some tips from (Mark) Buehrle about pitching more quickly, but even more than that, this kid can light it up with that fastball. (Hes got a) good change up, great command and doesnt walk guys. This kid is going to be a great pitcher, but hes got to be a great pitcher today.
Eckersley on Fenway Park: Fenway doesnt play the same way anymore, it just doesnt. More than anything about Fenway, its the atmosphere. It used to be the Green Monster, now its the atmosphere. When you walk into that ballpark, its like, Oh no, the fans are a little closer. Theyve got this momentum working and the magic just hovers around that ballpark.
Eckersley on the pressure of bouncing back on the mound: ve been on the mound and Ive given up a big homerun and the series continued and I said, Hey, I want the ball, I want the ball. But in the back of my mind it was like, Oh my God, if I get this ball and I do it again Thats just being honest, I didnt want to make it any worse.
Game 1: Philadelphia Phillies (6) @ Milwaukee Brewers (2) The Phillies win the series 31
Announcers Brian Anderson, Joe Simpson and John Smoltz with David Aldridge reporting
Smoltz on Phillies pitcher Joe Blanton: (Joe Blanton is) trying to keep that unbeaten streak going. Hes a little bit of herk-you-jerk-you guy, he likes to show the hip and shoulder as he throws. He commands all of his pitches, control is definitely his strength, he controls all of them for strikes.
Smoltz on the Phillies targeting Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder: Anytime that youre a marked guy, meaning that youre the guy in the offense that has been the body of work, an opposing team is going to feel out if youre going to be aggressive or going to sit back and really prey on that. Right now, (the Phillies) are attacking (Prince Fielder) on the lack of patience that hes shown and using it to their advantage. Thats why in a postseason series, especially a short one, you see the guys that may not have had a great finish or great numbers rise to the occasion because they are the ones that are going to be pitched to a lot. Those are the ones youre going to want to go after and make them beat you.
Simpson on Phillies leftfielder Pat Burrells third inning homerun: As loud as the Thundersticks are in this stadium, Pat Burrells stick just made a much louder noise.
Smoltz on Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo: Even through (the Brewers face) the prospect of losing some pitchers next year (due to free agency), but (Yovani Gallardo) is the future. Hes really commanded himself on the mound and he has a #1 type make up. If he stays healthy, the Brewers will have some fine young pitchers still as they may lose a couple front line pitchers next year.
TBS David Aldridge interviewed Phillies leftfielder Pat Burrell following the game.

Burrell on closing out the series against the Brewers: I havent really been swinging the bat that well, fortunately we were able to get a couple of wins in Philly. I still felt like we had some momentum, but it was important for us to come out and get a lead. With Jimmy Rollins starting the game with a homer really set the tone for us. Joes pitching was excellent and were just as excited as can be.
Game break
Johnson, Granderson, Eckersley and Ripken
TBS David Aldridge interviewed Phillies Game #4 winning pitcher Joe Blanton following the game
Blanton on his approach to attacking the strike zone against the Brewers in Game #4: I wanted to attack the (strike) zone with every pitch I could and come right after (the Brewers). Its really about location and throwing off-speed pitches for strikes, that way they cant sit on the fastball. That makes it easier to attack the zone with the fastball.
Ripken on the key factors in the NLCS between the Dodgers and Phillies: Its an advantage to the Phillies to start the series in Philadelphia. I look at the right-handed power pitching of the Dodgers; there is a counter to that with the left-handed power hitting on the Phillies. Its important how (Ryan) Howard and (Chase) Utley perform in the series.
Eckersley on who he thinks will win the NLCS: I think (the Dodgers and Phillies) match-up pitching-wise, they both have depth in the starting rotation. Their bullpens are comparable, both have powerful bullpens. Its going to be a great series. I really dont know who to pick but I tend to lean towards the Dodgers because of their top three starting pitchers.

Game 2: Chicago White Sox (5) @ Tampa Bay Rays (3) The Rays lead the series 2-1
Announcers: Don Orsillo and Harold Reynolds with Marc Fein reporting
Reynolds on the leadership that Ken Griffey, Jr. brings to the White Sox: In the clubhouse, (White Sox manager) Ozzie Guillen said he never has to worry about telling (Ken Griffey) Junior if he is playing or not. (Griffey) always shows up and never complains. His leadership and presence did change the (White Sox) clubhouse.
Reynolds on what message is sent to a ballclub when the front office makes a big trade: I think the one thing that happens to a ballclub when they make a trade of magnitude, players realize that the front office is serious about winning. Sometimes thats the message that the front office has to send.
Reynolds on the maturation of Rays slugger Carlos Pena: (Carlos Pena has) learned how to hit within the strike zone. (Hes) not chasing pitches outside of the zone. He is staying within himself. Obviously, experience is a big part of that and with experience comes seeing (pitchers) more than once so you know what to expect from them.
Reynolds on White Sox manager Ozzie Guillens outspoken and candid personality: The reason (Ozzie Guillen) gets away with (being so outspoken) is because he did is a player. He would dish it out and take it. Thats just been his personality. Anyone who knows Ozzie knows that he has always been that way.
Reynolds on Rays starting pitcher Matt Garza: (Matt) Garza is a great find for (the Rays). When they made the trade (to acquire him from the Twins), I dont think people realized how talented he was. He was almost an afterthought because they got so much attention from trading Delmon Young (to the Twins for Garza).
Reynolds on how White Sox outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. has adjusted his game as hes gotten older: (Ken Griffey, Jr. has) lost quite a few steps (in centerfield) because of the hamstring problems hes had. He was one of the fastest guys in baseball (in his prime). For him to get around (in centerfield) now is pretty amazing. But what Junior is doing now is playing on experience. He knows where the pitchers are going to throw pitches, he knows where the hitters are going to hit it and he anticipates.

Game 3: Boston Red Sox (4) @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (5) (12 innings) Red Sox lead series 2-1
Announcers: Chip Caray and Buck Martinez with Craig Sager reporting
Martinez on how Angels starting pitcher Joe Saunders gets his defense focused: The one thing you have to love about Joe Saunders is that he works quickly. He will really keep his infielders involved and on their toes. He throws a lot of strikes and hes much like (White Sox starting pitcher) Mark Buerhle. Anytime an infielder anticipates the ball being hit to him, hes a lot sharper and has better reactions.
Martinez on how visiting teams should approach playing in Fenway Park: We talk about having short memories over the course of a season. You have to turn the page quickly (and move on). Fenway Park makes you turn the page quickly from inning to inning. You can really come back and fall behind inning to inning. You really have to have a short memory and really think about the flow of the game and play literally one inning at a time.
Martinez on the challenge of playing the Red Sox at Fenway Park: s difficult because youre never really comfortable no matter what the lead is. In this ballpark, the Red Sox can score four, five or six runs in an inning. You can do the same but in this ballpark; they always get the last at-bat. So no matter how big of lead you have, youre never comfortable until you are in the locker room after the game. That Green Monster causes a lot of people to have sweaty palms.
Martinez on Angels first baseman Mark Teixeira remaining consistent throughout the ALDS: (Mark) Teixeira has been the one Angel throughout this (ALDS) series that has really had good at-bats. Hes always been a very patient hitter, hes very selective. Hell take his walks and he wont chase many pitches. He has really had good at-bats throughout this series, he knows himself and he knows what the pitchers capabilities are and what he likes to do. He doesnt stray out of his game-plan very frequently.
Martinez on the experienced Red Sox lineup: (The Red Sox have) an experienced lineup, guys that never panic. When youre a good hitter youve got confidence that it only takes one strike to hit and if youre hitting with two strikes, you still can be a dangerous hitter.
Martinez on if Angels rookie relief pitcher Jose Arredondo has what it takes to become a closer: Physically (Arredondo) does (have what it takes to become a closer). We dont really know what his temperament is like. Whether or not he can walk the tight rope without a net and thats what you have to do as a closer. He has a net (in the bullpen) now in the form of K-Rod (current Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez).
Martinez on the difference between set-up pitchers and closers: (TBS MLB studio analyst) Dennis Eckersley, the great Hall of Fame closer, always talked about his intensity. He had so much emotion on the mound because he felt like he was carrying the other 24 players on his shoulders. (Red Sox closer Jonathan) Papelbon and K-Rod (Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez) have that same sense of responsibility. This is all about doing it for your team. Thats the difference between guys that can set-up and guys that close. (Closers) want that responsibility.
Inside MLB

Johnson, Granderson, Eckersley and Ripken
Ripken on the Angels winning their first game of the series in Fenway Park: I thought (the Angels) were a little dead, that their heart had been ripped out the way they lost the last game, but they showed how resilient they are. They are a true Road Warrior team, I think they won 50 games on the road. To go to Fenway and that environment today, play well, scratch and claw (to a win), they deserved that one.
Granderson on the play by the Angels in which a fly ball dropped because of miscommunication between center fielder Torii Hunter and second baseman Howie Kendrick on who was going to catch it, resulting in three runs scoring: m going to try my best to get to this ball as soon as I can. I dont think that Torii (Hunter) thought he could get there, plus he also saw Howie Kendrick put his hands up. As a center fielder. as soon as I see that, I think youve got the ball.
Eckersley on the starting pitchers for the White Sox and Rays: I like (White Sox pitcher) Gavin Floyd because I like guys who throw hard. Hes got a good curve ball to go with it and the last game he had to pitch was a do or die game against Detroit who he pitched a good game against. (Rays pitcher Andy) Sonnanstine is a breaking ball pitcher so he has to be relaxed to throw the breaking ball. Hell throw a breaking ball anytime you want, hell baffle guys a lot, but hes got to be careful because the more breaking balls you throw the more chances you have to hang one.

Has 3-D reached its tipping point? With a $1 billion deal announced last week between the major theater chains and five studios to convert more than 15,000 U.S. screens to digital projection, hopes are high that a slew of new 3-D-enabled theaters will follow. But that is far from certain, and any delay in installing could curtail releases for the coming onslaught of 3-D films.

"It's definitely a critical time," says Doug Darrow, marketing manager at Texas Instruments, which makes the chips that power digital cinema projectors. "While 3-D is greeted with excitement and anticipation, there's also a level of concern -- albeit optimistic -- that the output will be there when the content comes."

The numbers back up that sentiment. Only about 1,000 screens in the U.S. are currently digital 3-D-ready. This is about the same as when Beowulf opened last November and not nearly enough to provide the desired screens for the dozen 3-D titles slated to open in 2009, not to mention the 30 or so in the pipeline beyond that.

The question that exhibition and distribution execs are asking as they gather at ShowEast in Orlando on Monday is: Will there be sufficient screens to handle the 2009 slate?

"There is an urgent need for (conversions) to happen," says Cary Granat, co-CEO of Walden Media, which released Journey to the Center of the Earth this summer on 2,811 screens. Only 854 of those were equipped to handle 3-D, yet they accounted for 57% of the film's $21 million opening weekend. "We were thrilled with boxoffice for Journey, but we certainly left money on the table," Granat says.

While studios, exhibitors and other stakeholders all express support for 3-D, they differ on how much a priority conversions should be and, more important, who should pay for them.

In order to show any digital 3-D films, a theater first requires a digital cinema installation. These are generally financed on a "virtual print fee" model, through which studios contribute an agreed fee per screen, per movie, to offset exhibitors' installation costs, which can run as high as $100,000 per system.

The deal announced last week between Universal, Paramount, Disney, Fox and Lionsgate and Digital Cinema Implementation Partners -- a joint venture owned by AMC Entertainment, Cinemark USA and Regal Entertainment Group that represents 14,000 screens in the U.S and Canada -- could result in 3,000 digital conversions within the next year or so, with many more to follow. Warner Bros. and Sony, which at press time were not yet parties to the deal, are expected to contribute on the virtual print fee model.

The addition of 3-D systems in many of those newly converted digital theaters is planned, although a timetable and financing scheme are far from clear.

In addition, Access Integrated Technologies -- the integrator for the majority of digital installations in North America -- is developing a "Phase 2" program, which follows a recently completed effort that put nearly 5,000 digital screens in North America. Its CEO, Bud Mayo, cheers the DCIP deal. "We think it's a catalyst for the industry," he says.

And smaller theater owners, nervous about being left out of the 3-D party, are pursuing their own conversions. The Cinema Buying Group -- a buying program of the National Association of Theatre Owners for small and independent theater operators -- has inked a deal with AccessIT to integrate its 600-plus members in the U.S. and Canada. The move represents more than 8,000 screens, the majority of which are expected to fit into Phase 2 deployment -- if funding comes through.

Internationally, key D-cinema markets include China, with roughly 700 screens; the U.K., with roughly 300; and France, Germany and Korea, all with 150-190 each.

Imax could also play a major role. The large-format chain is beginning a transition from 70mm film to digital projection and plans to convert its global base of 300 theaters, in addition to accommodating more than 200 new orders.

The revenue upside for 3-D is clear. Estimates suggest that exhibitors can charge a 20% premium on a ticket for a digital 3-D (non-Imax) movie. Like with Journey, 3-D versions also tend to outperform 2-D on a per-screen basis. And 3-D films are viewed as less susceptible to piracy.

This is why studio toppers like Disney's Dick Cook and DreamWorks Animation's Jeffrey Katzenberg can't say enough about 3-D. Katzenberg in particular has gone on a hiring binge to prepare for planned 3-D versions of all DWA films going forward.

There are drawbacks, however. Buzz Hayes, Sony Pictures Imageworks 3-D producer of stereoscopic 3-D films, estimates that the added cost of producing a 3-D version of a computer-animated film is typically 8%-15% of the below-the-line costs, while a live-action 3-D feature would be closer to 15%-25%.

But the few digital 3-D releases have generally demonstrated the additional expense is worth it. Disney's 3-D Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour opened at No.1 on only 683 screens and went on to gross $65 million domestically. The Hannah Montana movie also demonstrated that 3-D production tools and techniques are advancing. The concert film was posted in 11 weeks and carried a production budget of less than $7 million.

At the same time, many in the studio world remain cautious about devoting too much attention and expense to a format that hasn't proven itself in the mainstream market yet.

"Universal Studios supports 3-D," Universal's vp cinema technology, Wade Hannibal, told a crowd at the Hollywood Post Alliance Technology Retreat earlier this year. "That said ... we must balance the short-term competitive advantages of 3-D against the long-term industry advantages of a full-scale D-cinema conversion."

Still, filmmakers as varied as James Cameron and Robert Zemeckis have embraced the format, although new converts must learn everything from how one shoots and posts to how to factor time and costs into the equation.

"Now that mainstream filmmakers are jumping in with total enthusiasm, there is an education process that needs to happen," says Steve Schklair, founder and CEO of 3ality Digital, a Burbank-based 3-D technology developer and service provider.

Schklair believes that if 3-D is to avoid becoming a passing fad, the education process must focus on achieving consistently high-quality images that do not induce headaches. "The larger technological issues have been solved," he says. "(But) badly photographed 3-D images have the potential to actually be painful to watch."

Adds Phil McNally, global stereoscopic supervisor at DWA: "The biggest thing to overcome right now is 100 years of experience in 2-D filmmaking. We're all trying to perform on a NASCAR level when we have our learner's licenses."

To that end, organizations, including the DGA, American Society of Cinematographers, Visual Effects Society and Siggraph, have been hosting member events about 3-D filmmaking.

Efforts are also under way to create technical standards.

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, a standards-setting body, has already published some 3-D guidelines and is working on more. Some theatrical 3-D recommendations have been presented to the community by studio consortium Digital Cinema Initiatives. And many believe the studios will commit even more to 3-D production when they see a greater opportunity for the home market.

"(Studio) production commitments are often based on the here and now, instead of thinking about how much value there is to this 3-D product in the future," says Vince Pace, president of Pace, a 3-D production service company.

The first 3-D-ready TV sets have already started to roll out, and "glasses-free" sets are in development. But while the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers has started an initiative to create 3-D mastering standards for content viewed in the home, these standards are at least 18 months away.

In that time, the format could also go mobile. For example, director Randal Kleiser and inventor Michael Mehrle started a company, Neovision Labs, whose technology is designed to enable the viewing of stereoscopic 3-D content on mobile devices without special glasses.

"I can see 3-D becoming much more pervasive than we are thinking now," Cameron says. "Are we looking at a situation maybe 10-15 years out where most laptops are sold with 3-D stereoscopic screens, most monitors are stereo compatible, and most DVD players can run stereo content?"

Cameron believes 3-D is here to stay. But some support the format while also warning against overhype.

"Let's agree to stop saying that 3-D will be the savior of the theatrical business," Universal's Hannibal told the HPA retreat crowd. "Theaters need to compete on the basis of long-term quality of service, not on the temporary uplift that 3-D may grant.
