2-25-2010


This is talking about a major storm that drenched New York City with rain and dumped at least 10 inches of snow in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, causing power outages and flight delays in the Northeast. Also it's talking about how rain soaked some parts of New York as residents braced for snow and more blizzard-like conditions, and at least 2 feet of snow fell near Albany, New York. The storm is expected to hover around the state for a few days.

This is talking about how LONDON — British movie theater chain Odeon will not show Tim Burton's fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland in Britain, Ireland and Italy because of a dispute over the timing of the film's DVD release, the company said Tuesday. Also Odeon objects to Walt Disney Pictures' decision to leave only 12 weeks between the film's theatrical and DVD releases in those countries, rather than the usual 17 weeks.
Odeon said it had invested "considerable sums of money" in digital projection equipment to show 3-D films, and a shorter window to screen films would undermine its investment.
The company said it feared Disney's proposals would "inevitably set a new benchmark" and a 12-week gap would become common. This can use more information about the movie.

This is talking about once in a while along comes a green product that is truly exceptional. By that I mean it’s uniquely designed, extremely functional, appropriately priced, and environmentally advanced. I’ve been wearing such a product for the past few weeks. When Brooks sent me a pair of its Green Silence racing shoes I was thrilled.Als oit talks about how to stay green and do what is right.Also it's talking about tennis shoes regardless, these shoes are the best example I’ve seen to date of high-performance footwear that is substantively green. With the Green Silence’s pending release, Brooks has raised the bar for the entire performance footwear industry.Arriving in stores on February 1st, the Green Silence will cost $100 a pair and appeal to athletes as well as those who want to wear super cool shoes that make a bold design statement and an equally bold environmental one too.
