Over forty years ago, a movie theatre didn't need to be located in a shopping mall to attract sufficient patrons. As other small, privately owned businesses had done before them, small-town movies theatres survived -- and, in some cases, even thrived -- for several decades. One may still occasionally find independent theatres grinding away in small towns located far enough away from metropolitan areas, but one is more likely to find abandoned buildings with empty marquess that often resemble the rusted prows of old ships. Some old theatre buildings serve as shells for churches and small businesses, but even many of these buildings wear such skimpy camouflage that someone passing through town can...

This past weekend I lost my voice. I wasn't sick. Rather, I experienced "severe voice strain" from yelling quite loudly and in a panic-stricken manner at our two large dogs, who were having a violent fight over a tennis ball.At first I was just yelling to try to get their attention and make them stop trying to rip each other's throats out. But when I saw blood, my yelling became louder, more hysterical, and high pitched as I envisioned a new episode of MTV's "Celebrity Death Match" between my two beloved pets.My husband finally heard my cries of distress and, being the TRUE alpha dog in this house, got between the dogs and broke up the fight.But the damage was done. Evidently, sustaining that volume...

Gene Hackman once lamented that the worst thing about becoming a famous actor is that you lose the ability to observe people without being noticed yourself. But some performers are so good at disguises that notoriety is no obstacle. A case in point was John Barrymore trying to buy his first house in Beverly Hills in 1926. Frustrated by rising real estate prices due to stars like Tom Mix and Charlie Chaplin moving into the neighborhood, Barrymore went to look at a lot dressed as his most famous movie role, Mr. Hyde. The realtor was taken aback by the long haired, wild eyed, fiendish looking man who got out of the limo. Every time the broker would suggest a price he was met by an intimidating...

Somewhere around the summer between my 5th and 6ths grade years at EV Cain Elementary School a girl named Rhonda moved from Grass Valley to Auburn, and there was something about her that fascinated me. I saw her sometimes during the summer, going to the show with other girls, or shopping downtown with her Mother. She was intriguing to me for some reason. I can't think of that reason now, but I wanted to meet her, or to do something, anything, so she would notice me. Once I saw her at the town park up by the Recreation Field, and since I was a fast runner in those days, I thought I might show her how swift I was, and thereby impress her with my speed. I had just seen a Superman movie, and was...

Recently I received a e-mail from a used car warranty salesman who works for a broker. Seems he wanted to share a rather elaborate scheme his company uses to get you to pay the highest price they can extract from you. The extended auto warranty company uses direct mail. Those receiving the letter call a toll free number and a salesman answers. Nothing wrong so far! The salesman will ask you a few questions and then tell you that he needs to transfer you to a manager to see if your vehicle qualifies for coverage. Hmmm? There's no reason to transfer you to another person. The same person can find out how old your vehicle is and how many miles it has to determine if it qualifies for a car warranty...

Bill's Life and his Lessons Learned, Part IIThere are a few people, very exceptional people, who are so singularly special that the complimentary joke is made; after they were born, the mold to make them got broken. In other words, there's no chance for posterity to make any more of the likes of Michelangelo, George Washington Carver, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, etc. In my case, they threw out the "mold," but I fooled 'em and grew back!Seriously speaking, the first lesson I learned while very young is that in order to sell successfully you must be relentless. You have to be downright incredible to be able to keep your integrity and successfully sell something like, "ice in the wintertime to Eskimos...

If you asked Americans to name the auto brands they'd most aspire to own someday, European nameplates would rate high on that list, especially in the used car department at dealerships like Hoffman Estates Used Cars. Despite the recent high end gains by the Japanese, the luxury car heritage associated with nameplates like BMW and Mercedes Benz gives those brands a permanent "cachet halo" among U.S. consumers.This was illustrated dramatically in the 2001 Vehicle Quality Study conducted by J.D. Power. Respondents were asked to rate their feelings about the "overall image" of 34 brands on a scale from 1 ("Unacceptable") to 10 ("Outstanding"). J.D. Power then ranked each nameplate based on the...

There are so many car stereo speakers on the market. How do you know what to choose? Let's take a look at some of the things you should look for when buying a car speaker.1. How is the speaker's power measured? Pay close attention to the amount of power the speaker can handle. This is particularly important when dealing with woofers, since they require more power to play loudly. Look out for models where the manufacturers exaggerate power. Ensure that power is measures in RMS. Be very wary of terms like "music power" and "peak power". These terms mean nothing when it comes to measuring power.2. How sensitive is the speaker? The more sensitive a speaker is, the less power required to play it. If a...

I got to spend time in the Nissan trucks without being prodded by sales people.Of course, the Armada was my favorite. It seemed to have everything.

Apart from the price, this was the flagship from Nissan.The Pathfinder has been around for a while in name only because this Nissan has been completely redesigned...
