Recent Amendments to Delaware's LLC and LP Acts: Registered Series of LLCs Will Be Permitted Starting in 2019 and LLCs Can Now Divide, Among Other Changes
by Norman M. Powell, John J. Paschetto and Justin P. Duda
The Delaware legislature recently adopted amendments to the State's entity laws that, among other things, allow a Delaware limited liability company ("LLC") to "divide" itself into new LLCs, and beginning August 1, 2019, allow Delaware LLCs to form "registered series." Below is an excerpt from a full article describing these recent amendments.
Registered Series of LLCs
The Delaware LLC Act (the "DLLCA") has permitted the establishment of series of LLC members, managers, interests, and assets since 1996. One of the attractive features of LLC series is that if certain statutory conditions are met, the assets associated with a given series are shielded from claims of creditors against other series of the LLC or against the LLC as a whole.
Yet LLC series have created challenges for anyone trying to situate them within the framework of UCC Article 9. A series established under the current DLLCA does not meet the UCC's definition of "registered organization" because such a series is not formed or organized "by the filing of a public organic record" with the state. Thus, it is unlikely that a security interest in the assets of a series can be perfected simply by filing a financing statement in Delaware, as would be the case with assets of a Delaware corporation, LLC, or other registered organization. Instead, one may need to file in the state where the series' place of business or chief executive office is located, treating the series in the same way one would treat a common law partnership.
Amendments to the DLLCA, adopted with a delayed effective date of August 1, 2019, will help resolve the series-perfection issue by enabling Delaware LLCs to form series that will constitute "registered organizations" under UCC Article 9. The amendments distinguish between a "protected series" and a "registered series." The term "protected series" refers to a shielded series of the type that can currently be established. "Registered series" refers to a series formed by the filing of a certificate of registered series with the Delaware Secretary of State. Since a registered series will accordingly be formed "by the filing of a public organic record" with the state, it will be a registered organization under UCC Article 9, and secured parties will therefore be able to perfect security interests in most types of assets owned by a registered series by filing a financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State.
The certificate of registered series must provide the name of the LLC forming the registered series and the name of the registered series itself. The name of a registered series must begin with the full name of the LLC, need not include the word "Series," and must meet the existing requirement of distinctness from the names of other entities or series on the records of the Secretary of State. The amendments will also permit the reservation of registered-series names just as the DLLCA already permits the reservation of LLC names. The registered agent of an LLC will be the registered agent for any registered series formed by the LLC.
A registered series will not necessarily have the asset-shielding characteristics of a protected series. For a registered series to be shielded, it will need to satisfy the same conditions as those currently in place for shielded series, i.e., the records maintained for the series must "account for the assets associated with such series separately from the other assets of the [LLC], or any other series thereof," plus the LLC's certificate of formation must provide "[n]otice of the limitation on liabilities" of the series, and the LLC agreement must permit the formation of series. Neither the certificate of formation nor the LLC agreement, however, must refer specifically to registered series or to DLLCA § 18-218 for the foregoing conditions to be met.
In keeping with a registered series' status as a registered organization, the amendments provide for the filing of a certificate of amendment to amend a certificate of registered series and the filing of a certificate of cancellation to cancel a certificate of registered series after the series has been dissolved and wound up. The Secretary of State will issue—as requested and appropriate—a certificate of good standing for a registered series. The annual Delaware tax on registered series will initially be set at $75 per series and will be due on June 1, the same date when the annual tax payable by the LLC (currently set at $300) is due.
Protected series will be able to convert into registered series of the same LLC and vice versa. Also, two or more registered series of the same LLC will be permitted to merge. No series will be permitted to convert or merge under any other provisions of the DLLCA.
LLC Division
The amendments make possible for the first time the "division" of a Delaware LLC into multiple Delaware LLCs and the allocation of assets and liabilities among such LLCs without causing thereby a transfer or distribution for purposes of Delaware law. According to the terminology used in new DLLCA § 18-217, the LLC effecting the division is the "dividing company" and will be the "surviving company" if it survives the division. The LLC or LLCs created in the division are "resulting companies" and, together with the surviving company (if any), are also "division companies."
To divide, an LLC (the dividing company) must first adopt a plan of division. By default, the plan must be approved by a majority in interest of the dividing company's members. The plan must set forth how interests in the dividing company will be dealt with in the division, how the assets and liabilities of the dividing company will be allocated among the division companies, the names of the surviving company and the resulting companies, and the name and address of a "division contact." The division contact is an individual residing in Delaware or an entity formed under Delaware law that, for six years following the division, will provide to any requesting creditor of the dividing company the name and address of the division company to which the creditor's claim was allocated under the plan of division. If the dividing company will be a surviving company, the plan of division may also effect any amendment to the operating agreement of the dividing company, unless its operating agreement prohibits an amendment specifically in connection with a division, merger, or consolidation.
The division is effectuated by filing with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of division containing, among other things, the name of the dividing company, whether the dividing company is a surviving company, the name of each division company, and the name and address of the division contact. When the certificate of division is filed, a certificate of formation must also be filed for each resulting company. The operating agreement of each resulting company becomes effective upon the effectiveness of the division.
The effectiveness of the division causes the assets and liabilities of the dividing company to be allocated among the division companies pursuant to the plan of division. The allocation does not constitute a transfer or a distribution for purposes of Delaware law. Likewise, the division does not by default constitute a dissolution of the dividing company even if it is not a surviving company. Instead, when the dividing company is not a surviving company, its existence will merely "cease" upon the division.
In addition to the requirement of a division contact, a number of provisions in Section 18-217 should help protect creditors of a dividing company. A division "shall not be deemed to affect the personal liability of any person incurred prior to such division with respect to matters arising prior to such division[.]" Also, if the division is judicially found to constitute a fraudulent transfer, then each division company, including by definition the surviving company (if any), "shall be jointly and severally liable on account of such fraudulent transfer notwithstanding the allocations made in the plan of division[.]" Finally, if any liabilities of the dividing company are not allocated under the plan of division, they will be the joint and several liabilities of all the division companies, again including by definition the surviving company (if any).

President Donald Trump welcomed Kim Kardashian to the White House last week to discuss prison reform. But there was something else on his mind.
Trump told the reality TV star and wife of hip-hop mogul Kanye West in the Oval Office that the couple was boosting his popularity with African-Americans, according to two people familiar with the matter.
About a month before the meeting West praised Trump in a tweet, claiming that he and the president "are both dragon energy." Trump later credited the April 25 West tweet with raising his approval rating among African Americans, a group that has shown scant support for the president.
"Kanye West must have some power because you probably saw I doubled my African American poll numbers. We went from 11 to 22 in one week," Trump said May 4 at the National Rifle Association's annual conference in Texas, without identifying the source of the data.
Trump appeared to be referring to data from a Reuters weekly tracking poll, in which the portion of black men approving of Trump rose from 11 percent the week ending April 22 to 22 percent for the week ending April 29. But Reuters considers the number of African American respondents to those weekly polls too small to reliably indicate a shift in opinion.
Monthly data from the poll shows approval of Trump among African-Americans overall rising from 12 percent in April to 18 percent in May. Among black men, the president's approval rose from 16 percent in April to 22 percent in May, according to the poll.
Kardashian, a star of the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," met with Trump and White House adviser Jared Kushner to discuss her campaign to win a presidential pardon for Alice Marie Johnson, a 63-year-old woman serving a life sentence without parole for a drug offense. Kardashian's pitch didn't get much immediate traction with the president, a person familiar with the meeting said.
The day after his meeting with Kardashian, Trump issued a full pardon to conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza, and said he's considering pardoning businesswoman Martha Stewart and commuting the sentence of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He didn't publicly mention Johnson that day.
Representatives for Kardashian didn't immediately respond to questions.
In late April, West gushed over Trump: "You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy," he tweeted. Kardashian, who has said she supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, asked her husband to clarify that West doesn't "agree with everything Trump does."
"Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this," Kardashian tweeted.
Kardashian, dressed in all black except for yellow stilettos, kept her face mostly expressionless on Wednesday when she was in view of the news media watching from the White House lawn and a White House photographer who snapped a picture of her behind the Resolute Desk with Trump.
She also met with Kushner, who has led a White House effort to build support for legislation that would help prisoners as they re-enter society and better develop work skills while they are incarcerated. Some critics of the effort say it doesn't go far enough and want lawmakers to include reductions in sentencing guidelines, a step opposed by the White House and the Justice Department.
After the Oval Office meeting Wednesday, Kardashian tweeted: "I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense."

Deceased's Life Insurance Benefit: It's more difficult to contest a life insurance beneficiary than a will.
Because life insurance doesn't go through probate.
Such as remarriage or adoption.
Or that the deceased had been subjected to undue pressure during a final illness.
A probate court may order that the insurance be paid to another beneficiary.
The insurer will need a certified copy of the policyholder's death certificate.
This proof of death ensures that policies are being claimed legitimately and helps prevent fraud.
The policy document has all of the pertinent information about the life insurance policy: the term, the death benefit amount, policyholder details, and so on.
The insurer will cross-reference this with their records to make sure you're making a claim on the correct policy.
Also known as a "request for benefits," you'll use a claim form to fill out information regarding the policyholder, including things like the policy number and cause of death.
You'll also fill out information about yourself as the named beneficiary.
Including your relationship to the policy owner a nd how you would like to be paid once the carrier finishes processing your claim.
This form will be sent, along with the death certificate and policy document, back to the insurer, and they'll take it from there.
Depending on the insurer and the plan.
There are a few different ways you can choose to receive the death benefit.
The two simplest and most popular are lump sums or annuities.
With a lump sum payment, you'll get the entire death benefit at once.
The benefit of this is that you won't have to worry about finding other ways to pay for the funeral, a mortgage, and so on.
Not only will you receive the full death benefit; you also won't have to pay taxes on it.
You should be able to choose how it's delivered to you when you fill out the claim form.
Direct deposit into your bank account may be an option, or you may be able to receive a check.
The designated beneficiary may be allowed to convert the death benefit into an annuity instead of receiving it as a lump sum.
An annuity is a financial instrument where your initial payment – the death benefit – is invested.
Then paid back to you as an annual payment for a predetermined number of years.
Beginning from an annuitization date in the future.
The combined annuity payments could be considerably higher than your initial investment.
But if you die before receiving all the payments then you may collect less than if you'd just taken the lump sum.
Interpleader actions, such as this, are very detailed and far reaching, encompassing multiple types of law.
So many different things are likely to impact your case, and judges have great latitude for discretion.
If you can afford a local attorney who knows the types of things your judge favors and disfavors, it would be best to hire one. See How to Find a Good Attorney.
4. Recognize the time sensitivity of the action.
Ideally, you will want to challenge the beneficiary designation prior to the insurance company paying out the claim.
The insurance company cannot decide who to pay the claim to.
But if there is a formal dispute as to the beneficiary.
They will pay the policy out to a trust held by the courts until the dispute is settled.
It will likely be much more difficult to collect insurance proceeds from an improperly named beneficiary who has already been paid.
If the insurance company pays to the named beneficiary, you will need to file suit against that individual.
If the individual has already spent the proceeds of the policy, you may have difficulty collecting.
If the individual has no assets, you may not be able to collect at all.
5. Check your state laws.
In some states, laws provide that insurance proceeds must go to particular people.
For instance many states require a spouse be designated as beneficiary unless the spouse consents in writing to a different beneficiary designation.
You can usually find a link to your state laws on the websites for the governor, the highest court, and/or the legislature. Review the statutes regarding insurance and probate.
6. Look for court orders.
In many divorce and child custody situations.
Courts order support paying persons to name recipient persons as beneficiaries to life insurance policies to ensure those support payments continue in case of the payor's death.
Child support payments are guaranteed by a life insurance policy naming either the person with custody or a trust for the child as the beneficiary.
Spousal support payments are guaranteed by a life insurance policy naming the former spouse as the beneficiary.
Installment payments involving assets awarded in property settlements may be guaranteed by a life insurance policy payable to the spouse who was awarded the clear asset.
Insurance companies are required to pay to named beneficiaries.
But if that beneficiary is not clear, they cannot pay until they learn who is meant by that designation.
Beneficiary is designated as "spouse", but deceased is no longer married.
Beneficiary is designated as "child", but there is now more than one child.
Beneficiary is designated by name to former spouse, but state law requires designation of current spouse.
8. Look for evidence of fraud or undue influence.
In some cases, courts will set aside beneficiary designations.
If they were made by virtue of fraud, undue influence, or mental incompetency.
These are difficult, but not impossible, to prove.
Fraud can be when a person is told they are signing something other than what they are actually signing or when a person relies on untrue information to persuade them to sign the beneficiary designation.
Undue influence is when someone induces the insured to sign the beneficiary designation under excessive threats, flatter or other coercive behaviors. If a beneficiary is acting as a caregiver, power-of-attorney, or other position of trust, undue influence is presumed, but can be rebutted.
Mental incompetence is usually defined as the inability to reasonably understand the nature of the document being signed. This definition will vary between states. A person with dementia or other illnesses may be presumed as incompetent, but it is deemed as of the time the document was signed.
9. Contact the clerk of courts.
To obtain court documents, such as child support orders with life insurance provisions.
Contact the clerk of the court that issued the order.
The full names of the parties to the case, such as the parents of the child.
The estimated date of the order.
The case number, names of attorneys, names of judges or other identifying information if the names are common in that area.
10. Contact the Department of Vital Statistics.
If you need birth certificates or marriage licenses.
Contact the Department of Vital Statistics or similar agency in the state where the event occurred.
Copy of court order allowing you to obtain access to the document.
11. Talk to potential witnesses.
Especially for claims of fraud, mental incompetence, or undue influence, witnesses will be necessary.
You will need to be able to prove specific instances of conduct showing these behaviors.
Ask them to be specific in particular instances where certain behaviors occurred (such as approximately how many times Aunt Sally forgot where she lived or how the current beneficiary refused to allow Aunt Sally to spend time with her previously beloved niece or nephew).
Ask them to write a statement of things they observed about the situation.
Prepare them to potentially testify on your behalf.
12. Notify the life insurance company.
Unless the insurance company is formally informed in writing of a challenge to the beneficiary.
They must pay to the named beneficiary.
Once the beneficiary is officially challenged.
The insurance company will deposit the proceeds of the policy with the court.
The insurance company will name and serve all parties believed to claim some legal right to the proceeds.
The insurance company will then withdraw from the case, letting the court decide who gets the proceeds.
13. Respond to the interpleader action.
When you receive notice of the interpleader action.
You must take certain actions within a specified period of time.
Consider hiring an attorney for these and further legal actions.
You must file your answer with the court and serve it on the other claimants within the period of time specified on the summons or citation you received, usually 21 to 45 days or receiving the petition and summons or citation.
Your answer must state the all of the reasons you believe you are entitled to the proceeds.
Your answer must be signed by you or your attorney.
Most courts will require at least one attempt at mediation or settlement conference.
Because the cost of litigating these actions is so high, some cases settle prior to going to trial.
Consider whether it is cost-effective to pursue through trial based on the amount of the insurance proceeds.
If it is a small policy, the cost of pursuing the case to trial could be more than you stand to gain from the insurance policy.
Mediation is when a neutral third party attempts to help the claimants compromise into a settlement.
Settlement conference is when the claimants and their attorneys attempt to compromise into a settlement without the assistance of the neutral third party.
15. Can I get a copy of my deceased's life insurance policy?
Yes, absolutely. All you need to do is talk to your life insurance provider and provide proper identification and proof of marriage.
My stepdad recently passed away. He was aware that my blood brother molested me, under his roof, for 4 years.
He still left his insurance money to both of us, 50/50.
Is it possible to keep my brother's half?
You can speak to a lawyer, but I believe your stepfather is entitled to bequeath his money to whomever he chooses, regardless of the recipient's prior actions.
16. What happens if all the beneficiaries are dead?
If there isn't a named beneficiary who can claim the life insurance proceeds.
The death benefit may go into a trust that is used to pay off any debts owed by the decedent's estate.
Be prepared for a lengthy, expensive legal battle. A life insurance policy is a signed contract, and proving that a situation such as coercion took place is difficult. While the case is open, the deceased's estate can't be settled, which means that legal fees, taxes and other expenses continue to accrue.

Boy, are we happy to see the sun!
And so are our goats! We just had two more "litters" of baby goats, twins from two does — two bucklings and two doelings. They must not have wanted to wait and see if more cold weather was in the future. All babies are doing very well.
So is Sir, the baby who nearly died due to exposure after being born outside in the cold rain. He's up and playing. This morning he discovered his ears. He spent a lot of time twitching his head to see them flap. And he's starting to bounce and jump too. He won't stay in his box during the day so I'm putting him down with his mom. He can play, nibble on grass, and when he's tired, he finds a sunny spot to nap in. One of his favorites is on a half log near the gate. His mom watches over him but won't let him nurse, yet. But she is a good milker and gives a gallon a day. Because Sir only eats three pints so far, I see a batch of yogurt in our future.
I'm busy transplanting tomatoes. Whew, are there a lot! And because I strained my shoulder last week, I can only do it for a little while then need to give it a rest. But like the tortoise, it's getting done, although slower than I'd like.
Yeah, it's "organized" until the weeds come up! I'm dedicating extra time this year to beautify that one bed. I did that last year with another and it worked, instead of spreading myself way too thin and getting frustrated. Sure you can borrow Will. But I have a hard time getting him to leave the homestead…..
The little goatie babies look so tiny next to that chicken and aren't they so sweet. The new flower bed is looking very organized. Can I borrow Will? I am sure it's going to be beautiful. I hope your shoulder heals quickly, Miss Jackie.

'Heartbreak' is a breakbeat-driven ode to one of electronic music's formative scenes: NYC's disco revolution of the 1970's & 80's. Sampling Christine Wiltshire's iconic vocal line "I can't take the heartbreak" from the '83 disco anthem "Weekend" by Class Action. That track itself a de facto cover of Issy Sanchez legendary remix of the Patrick Adams and Leroy Burgess produced 1978 version by Phreek. Here, Tim Lawrence, author of Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor: 1980–1983, provides his insights into the history of that track, and the lasting impact it had on the electronic music of today.

Q: Why does Clojure wrap checked exceptions with unchecked exceptions?  The following code demonstrates a case where a checked exception, ExecutionException, is thrown by an operation and Clojure is wrapping it with RuntimeException.
Why is Clojure doing this?  Is this normal? Clojure appears to be doing something different than Java would in this case.  What is the idiomatic way to handle the actual exception, in this case Exception, that caused the failure?
user=> (def f (future (Thread/sleep 10000) (throw (Exception. "hello world"))))

A: Note that an ExcecutionException is indeed being thrown - it's just that the exception is getting caught and handled by Clojure.
Clojure will wrap certain exceptions in a RuntimeException when it handles them - I believe this is done to avoid the need to handle checked exceptions in the Clojure source code.
If you want to access the underlying exception, then (.getCause e) should work.

A: According to this link it seems clojure does not throw checked exceptions so I would assume clojure catches any that might be thrown and wraps it:
http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/1.3
As for handling it idiomatically(?) in Java, then the old rules still apply. I would check if the exception wrapped in the ExecutionException was one of the checked exceptions I expected could happen, and handle them as I would in any other circumstance (read: emulate the otherwise compiler enforced try catch). If it wasnt, I would either wrap it in a runtime exception and throw it again or log it and swallow it depending on the situation.

I'm trying to do this for such a long time but it still doesn't work. Unfortunately I can't find something documented in the official pimcore docs.
Thank you very much!

A: For me, it seems that you tried to copy manually the E-commerce Bundle. Theoretically, it SHOULD work, but for sure it is not the best idea to integrate into a pimcore directory.
To generate new bundle you SHOULD use bin/console pimcore:generate:bundle in the CLI (more info here: https://pimcore.com/docs/5.0.x/Extending_Pimcore/Bundle_Developers_Guide/index.html)
(!) Please be aware that this command is available only for dev and test environments (see https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/blob/master/pimcore/lib/Pimcore/Kernel.php#L212)

TIBET - CHINA
Tibetan Parliament in exile rejects Dalai Lama's "resignation"
by Nirmala Carvalho
Yesterday, the parliament called on the Dalai Lama to reconsider. Tibetan prime minister: we are only giving voice to the widespread belief in the population. Now decision moves back to Dalai Lama. Thousands take part in the cremation of Monk who set himself on fire on March 16.
Dharamsala (AsiaNews) - The Tibetan Parliament in exile almost unanimously yesterday asked the Dalai Lama to reconsider his decision to abandon his role as political leader of Tibetans. Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the government in exile, in an exclusive interview with AsiaNews, explains the significance of the decision.
On March 10 the Dalai Lama announced his decision to give up his political role, wanting to be alone spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists. On 14 March, he referred the matter to Parliament in exile, which has to amend the constitution to remove the Dalai Lama's role of political leader and increase Parliament's powers as well as those of the government in exile. Among the reasons for the Dalai Lama's decision, is the desire to promote dialogue with Beijing, which accuses him of being a separatist terrorist and refuses to talk to him, and his desire that Tibets leaders are chosen by democratic vote.
Rinpoche told AsiaNews that the Parliament's decision will now be presented to the Dalai Lama. "The Tibetan Parliament - he says - is attentive to the will of the people and the people do not want to lose the leadership of the Dalai Lama. We consider it very important. "The Question of Tibet and the Dalai Lama have become almost synonymous, he is the face of the Tibetan movement, and it will take a really long time to build a new image or a new face. I understand that for every new beginning there are many obstacles, but the Tibetan government will not accept the resignation of the Dalai Lama. "
Many now wonder what the Dalai Lama will do. Yesterday, speaking at a press conference, he already confirmed that he has decided to leave his political role, despite the Parliament's request.
"We need to see - confirmation Rinpoche - if His Holiness the Dalai Lama will consider the request of Parliament." "-I do not think that it will go against the tenets of Tibetan Buddhism . He will not be giving up the 'renunciation' on the contrary -it will only be this is respecting the desires of the people".
When asked if this waiver can be interpreted as confirmation of some of the accusations of the Chinese government, which considers him a terrorist, Rinpoche replies that "we do not care about what China says, or what it does, they say anything."
"To AsiaNews readers we say, try to understand the difficulties of the Tibetan people, they should understand the predicament of the Tibetan people, and the Tibetan people are troubled and disturbed about the decision. Be sympathetic [to us] and the Tibetan cause. "
Yesterday thousands of Tibetans took part in the cremation of Monk Phuntsok (pictured), from the Kirti Monastery in Ngaba County (Sichuan), who set himself on fire March 16 in protest against Chinese repression and occupation. The Chinese authorities returned the body to his family on March 17 in the afternoon and ordered he be cremated within the next day. The body, carried by a vehicle, was followed by thousands of monks, nuns and Tibetans, guarded by armed soldiers.

Forum Cinema
St, James Parade,
Bath, BA1 1UG
Forum, Bath (Official)
Architects: A. Stuart Gray, William Henry Watkins
Functions: Church, Concerts, Conference Center, Live Performances
Phone Numbers: Box Office: 440122.544.3114
Little Theatre Cinema
Komedia Comedy Club
Odeon Bath
Egg Theatre
The Forum Cinema was a large, free standing building in Bath stone designed by W. H. Watkins, a noted west country architect of cinemas. There was a large café and a dance hall at first floor level, and shops and a spacious foyer at ground level.
The huge Art Deco style auditorium was built by J. Long and Sons Ltd. for the Avon Cinema Co. Ltd. and opened on May 19th 1934. A shallow stage was used for variety and the stage has recently been extended into the auditorium to facilitate the live concerts/Bath Festival usage.
Down each side is a celebrated frieze of Roman figures. A huge richly plastered 'sunburst' feature dominates the ceiling. Decorative grilles are placed either side of the stage.
The Forum Cinema closed in 1969 and was converted to bingo usage. This too closed, and in 1986 very damaging plans were put forward to convert the auditorium to part-dance hall part-retail use.
Fortunately these failed and the Bath City Church took over in 1988 and have instigated a commendable renovation of the building which now acts as a church & concert hall in the auditorium, and dance school and various community rooms in the former café and dance hall areas. It is also a major venue for the annual Bath Festival.
The Forum Cinema is Grade II* Listed building.

I remember precisely seeing movies in this theatre aroud 1965,spending summer holidays in Bath.The frieze of Roman figures gave to the auditorium a classical look.The others movie theatres,Odeon ABC Little theatre were not so beautifull.
I was part of a group of French students and we were always amazed by the audience standing up at the end of the movie while a picture of the Queen was projected on the screen.

The title heading for this former cinema should be updated. This building opened as the Forum and is still fondly remembered by this name. The architects were William Watkins and A.Stuart Gray.

I did three weeks of work at this hall in 1966 and enjoyed every minute of my time there. The staff were most welcoming to a Welsh lady projectionist. Something I did not always experience when doing relief work.
In spite of it's magnificence and size, the Forum was always overshadowed by the Odeon cinema which was located directly opposite and the Beau Nash (ABC) cinema which was also a short walk away. Thus both the Forum and the Bath Little Theatre were condemned to showing third run films whilst the majors were always given the first bite of the celluloid apples. I'm very pleased to hear that this building has survived the now demolished Bath Odeon and am wondering if the present owners have retained the projection equipment insitu?

By Pooja Biraia Jaiswal October 05, 2019 19:02 IST
All smiles: Ipsa Valvi with mother, Suchitra. Ipsa was diagnosed with biliary atresia and underwent a liver transplant surgery.
Just four months before her first birthday, Ipsa Valvi underwent a complicated liver transplant surgery. Weighing just a little over four-and-a-half kilos, she became the youngest and lightest baby in west India to undergo a successful liver transplant. As the baby recovered and regained her health, her family and medical team including doctors and nurses celebrated her first birthday at Mumbai's Global Hospital, where the surgery was performed.
Biliary Atresia is a very rare disease that affects only one in 20,000 children. The only treatment option left to save the baby was a timely liver transplant. - Dr Anurag Shrimal, paediatric liver transplant surgeon, Global Hospital, Mumbai
One major reason for delayed diagnosis is lack of awareness on the part of doctors and medical practitioners handling the case. - Dr Anil Venkitachalam, consultant neurologist, Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai
Ipsa was born healthy in Vyara, a small town in Tapi district of Gujarat, but her weight remained the same even after two months. Her parents, Suchitra and Krunal Valvi, both homeopathy practitioners, observed that Ipsa had stopped growing. Investigations revealed that she suffered from biliary atresia, a childhood disease of the liver in which the bile ducts are absent. Bile is a bitter greenish-brown alkaline fluid secreted by the liver that aids in digestion, but in biliary atresia it becomes stagnant and causes permanent liver damage and cirrhosis. "This is a very rare disease that affects only one in 20,000 children. The only treatment option left to save the baby was a timely liver transplant," says Dr Anurag Shrimal, paediatric liver transplant surgeon, Global Hospital, who operated on Ipsa.
Ipsa could have just had a surgery, but a delay of three months in diagnosing the disease left the doctors with no option but to do a transplant. This is what happens with rare diseases, says Dr Anil Venkitachalam, consultant neurologist, Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai. "The diagnosis of a rare disease is late most of the time. This, despite visits to multiple clinical centres, involvement of a number of specialties and investigations," he says. "One major reason for delayed diagnosis is lack of awareness on the part of doctors and medical practitioners handling the case. Demystifying a disease that is rare involves a lot of time and effort, which unfortunately is not easy to come by, and leads to frustration and emotional and financial burden for the patient."
Biliary atresia is one of the 6,000 to 8,000 rare diseases that exist in the world at present. These are defined as health conditions of low prevalence that affect a small number of people compared with other prevalent diseases in the general population. Even though they are rare, most of these diseases are life-threatening and chronically debilitating and collectively affect a considerable chunk of the population of any country, which according to generally accepted international research is between 6 to 8 per cent. These are genetic diseases, rare cancers, infectious tropical diseases and degenerative diseases. Eighty per cent of rare diseases are genetic in origin and hence disproportionately impact children.
Dr Anurag Shrimal
However, the definition of a rare disease differs from country to country. While the World Health Organization defines a rare disease with a prevalence of one or fewer per 1,000 population, the United States defines it as a disease or condition that affects fewer than 2,00,000 patients in the country or 6.4 in 10,000 people. The European Union considers a disease to be rare if it affects no more than 5 in 10,000 people. According to the document released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's expert committee on rare diseases in 2017, India currently has no standard definition of rare diseases and no data on prevalence. Since there is no epidemiological data, there are no figures on burden of rare diseases and morbidity and mortality associated with them. "If we apply the international estimate of 6 per cent to 8 per cent of population being affected by rare diseases, we have between 72 to 96 million people affected by rare diseases in the country, which is a significant number," says the report.
So far, only about 450 rare diseases have been recorded in India from tertiary care hospitals and the most common rare diseases include haemophilia, thalassemia, sickle-cell anaemia and primary immunodeficiency in children, autoimmune diseases, lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), cystic fibrosis, hemangiomas and certain forms of muscular dystrophies.
Dr Anil Venkitachalam
Manish Sachdev, owner of a general store and the only son in a family of six daughters in Mumbai, died of muscular dystrophy in his mid thirties. A rare inherited disease in which the muscles that control movement progressively weaken, it can appear in infancy up to middle age or later, and is characterised by severe muscle weakness and wasting as happened in Sachdev's case. It all began in his early teens when the family observed that he was not running or climbing stairs like other children, and would often fall while walking. After consulting numerous doctors and undergoing hundreds of tests, he was diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, which meant that over a period of 10 to 15 years, his lower limbs would give up completely. "He became dependent on a help for his movement and daily ablutions and had to be frequently admitted to the hospital for infections resulting from falls," explains his sister Minakshi, who now runs the store. "It was disheartening to know that at the time there was absolutely no cure for the disease. But now advancements in science, including gene editing, are making it possible for patients to hope for not just treatment, but also for a cure."
Rare diseases are just coming to light in the last seven years in India, says Ratna Dua Puri, paediatrician and chairperson, Institute of Medical Genetics and Genomics, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi. "Our focus until now has been on other communicable diseases, malnutrition and such, so rare diseases never really got the attention they need," she says. "Now because of increased awareness, availability of tests and technology, we are able to diagnose these better." Also, there are now support groups for patients with rare diseases and their kin, she adds.
Shashank Sathe, a retired government employee, is part of one such group known as the Lysosomal Storage Disorder Support Society. The society was started by parents whose children fell victim to the rare, genetic, life-threatening LSDs. Sathe's son Suyog was diagnosed with Gaucher's disease when he was six. Gaucher's is a rare, inherited disorder resulting from a buildup of certain fatty substances in the spleen and liver, causing them to enlarge and affecting their function. It is one of the 45 LSDs caused by deficiency of certain enzymes in certain compartments of the cells.
"After he turned three, we noticed that his spleen was becoming enlarged and his health was deteriorating day by day," recalls Sathe. "At the time, no doctor was able to diagnose him correctly. They simply experimented and suspected leukaemia initially. But that turned out to be negative. Much later, a paediatrician diagnosed him with Gaucher's after his blood sample was sent abroad for testing."
Suyog was then put on enzyme replacement therapy, in which each vial of 400 units costs Rs70,000—he would need about four to five vials to be administered intravenously every two weeks. Today, Suyog is 25 and an engineer. He plays cricket, drives a car and talks well. About three years ago, the IV was replaced with an oral pill, which he must consume once a day. "Fortunately for us, the treatment was all free—as it was a rare disease, the company forewent the charges. But unlike Gaucher's, patients suffering from other LSDs aren't as lucky," says Sathe.
Venkitachalam says that most rare diseases remain unidentified or undiagnosed because people in India are not so keen on genetic testing, which can help experts identify the problem in the first place. "People don't know whether they have the disease or not and don't want to undergo genetic testing in the face of social stigma and fear of ostracism," he says.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan recently directed ministry officials to expedite the process of formulating the National Policy for Treatment of Rare Diseases. The policy was announced by the government in 2017 with a corpus of Rs100 crore to provide financial aid to patients suffering from rare ailments. "Increasing awareness and government proaction can help so many of us," says Prasanna Shirol, cofounder and executive director, Organization for Rare Diseases India. "Most patients with rare diseases remain undiagnosed for a long period of time—average time to diagnose a rare disease is around seven years."

Digital PR Roundup: July 2022
Written by Michael de Alwis Content Coordinator
Topic Digital PR
While July 2022 gave us the hottest days on record, it also gave us some seriously spicy Digital PR campaigns.
This month we were introduced to a song that can deter flying scavengers, chips in the form of cutlery, and a free cooling service for redheads.
So, without further ado...
5. Bye Gull Bye (Deliveroo)
A good reason NOT to visit Brighton is the birds, and seagulls are among the worst offenders. There's evil in those eyes, always looking for the next ice cream to steal.
However, this campaign from Deliveroo may be just the thing that convinces me to head south for Brighton Pride this weekend. Deliveroo teamed with herring and seagull expert, Dr. Madeleine Gomas, to produce a song specifically designed to scare off gulls.
The song is called 'Bye Gull Bye' and incorporates bird of prey calls from falcons and eagles, high-frequency sounds, and white noise. Sounds like it might be a Finneas production. Most importantly, it apparently works!
4. Red Head Redemption (Showcase)
I don't know about you guys, but I personally thought the heatwave was a pretty bad time. And while I may moan about the fact that I'm still trying to regain the lost sleep, UK cinema chain Showcase might argue that some had it worse.
Namely, red-haired people. Because redheads are said to be more sensitive to the sun and high temperatures, Showcase decided to lend a hand by offering free cinema tickets to all redheads on the UK's two hottest days in history.
Mark Barlow, Showcase Cinemas' UK general manager, said: "While the UK enjoys some much-needed sunny weather, we know how hard some people find the heat.
That's why, to tackle the heatwave, we're offering redheads free entry to our cinema screens this Monday and Tuesday, so they'll be able to enjoy some of the amazing films on offer in the comfort of our air-conditioned cinema screens and ensure they stay protected from the sun.
3. The Chip Spoon (Heinz)
How much sauce is the perfect amount per chip? It's an age-old question, a debate that's gone on far too long and caused too much pain and anguish, and that's why Heinz decided to put an end to it by introducing the world's first spoon-shaped fries.
Unveiled on July 13th - National Fries Day - Heinz Spoon Friez was inspired by a study from Heinz that revealed 9 in 10 people refuse to eat chips without sauce, with 4.5 billion French fries eaten every year.
"Fried potatoes come in many different shapes and sizes, but due to the French fry's classic, long, thin style, the amount of sauce scooped is minimal due to its slender frame and limited surface area. Made out of potato and resembling the same shape of a traditional spoon, the potato 'bowl' head will fry-nally let sauce superfans enjoy the perfect amount of Heinz Tomato Ketchup."
Thank you, Heinz, I'll be sure to take my Spoon Friez to Brighton while I blast Bye Gull Bye.
2. Partner Perks (VoucherCodes)
As a person living alone in London on a working visa, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered finding a partner solely for the financial and bureaucratic advantages, and according to a new study from Vouchercodes, I'm not the only one.
According to their research, almost a third (31%) of single people in the UK want a partner in the hopes it'll save them money, while more than half of those people believe that couples pay less for housing and can budget better.
However, those people are wrong! The data also shows that couples tend to spend about 17% more per month than single folk.
The study revealed a few more intriguing insights about the cost-of-living differences between single people and couples, like the fact that while couples spend more on just about everything, single people spend 5% more on fashion and beauty - because how else are you going get a partner, I guess?
Meanwhile, a separate study conducted by me right now predicts that single people might be able to save money on movies by dating redheads during heatwaves.
1. Mullets & Mulling (Gymshark)
Fun fact about me, if I stare at my own eyes for too long, I start to think too much about eyes, which subsequently makes me tear up. It's not something I have to deal with often but looking at the mirror while getting a haircut is where this strange phenomenon manifests itself most prominently.
One time it happened, and the hairdresser noticed and said, 'awww, it's a big change isn't it?' and I had to explain that I wasn't actually sad about the haircut, I'm just a weirdo when it comes to eyes. I don't think she believed me. This is partially why my hair is now belly-button length.
Anyway, my point is that had I been at Gymshark's Deload Barbershop in Shoreditch, it mightn't have been such a scene. That's because Deload is the first barbershop where every barber is also a trained mental health professional.
Recognising the need for non-judgmental, safe spaces for men to address their mental health and wellbeing, Gymshark sought to create a comfortable environment where customers can "open up, offload and have a chat with professional mental health trained barbers who are there to listen."
It's always been somewhat of a trope - having DMCs with your barber - and now you can be a little more confident that the advice they give might actually be as good as the trim! Many men struggle to open up emotionally, so we applaud Gymshark's approach to creating a more organic space to decompress.
Deload was open from 12-17 July, offering free trims with help from Curfew Grooming, while all merchandise proceeds went to mental health charity Calm.

Matt Jones, Ryan Lemond and Shannon The Dude are on for the next two hours to recap Kentucky's big win over Mississippi State. Tune in to hear what they have to say about the game and what's ahead for the team. And more.
Big win for the Cats, Nick played good. I think Matt should buy the drinks even though he didn't score 15.
And EJ hit a three, so Matt owes us two rounds.
Oh I know what would have happened if Nick got 15. Matt would have not followed through on his promise.
It wouldv'e been like one of those Buffalo Wild Wings commercials.
Well, that party he was supposed to throw for UK fans after the Football Cats beat Louisville in 2017 never materialized, so there's that.
We miss layups because we go for sportscenter top 10 dunks. Use the backboard, soften the shot, and just lay it in.
Yep, I am constantly yelling for them to use the backboard – it's not just there to hit your head on when you dunk. Mrs. RCF always says "hey honey, he used the backboard" whenever someone banks one in. It's just "cooler" to hit that teardrop or floater.
Very seldom does a player use the backboard on purpose these days, it was common back in the day. Personally I think a bank shot is a thing of beauty.
Ha ha ha! Whatever goes in is fine with me.
In the early to mid '70's, Jimmy Dan Connor would bank them in from 20 ft out…beautiful.
And yes, Whitaker Bank gets off easy.
I remember that runnin, seems some of the shots missed in close would have a better chance of going in if they used the glass.
I understand a dunk gets the crowd & team fired up, but if it doesn't go in, then it's just "Awwwwww!!!". If it isn't there, YES, use the glass or whatever and GET THE POINTS!
One thing I like about Herro is he has so much body control when driving for a layup he almost always makes it and he doesn't charge. The play Saturday where he got hacked and got the "and one" was great.
Oh well, can't hang around – get to take the dog to the vet because she started hurling last night, wouldn't eat this morning. Now I found out that she has been eating the pillow in her crate. Fun!
She is fine. Just have to watch her to make sure she "passes" everything. Big knucklehead. Cost me $130.00 – but could have been a lot worse. Having a puppy is like having a toddler around the house.
That is cheap. I have a Great Dane. Every vet visit costs at least $300. I've learned to wait and watch before going to vet unless it's an obvious emergency.
Real, I know a lot of people with 2, even some with 3 or 4. We're sort of a Dane community, we somehow find each other lol.
Great Danes weigh more than I do, and I'm a full grown adult.
J-Dub, my boy weighs more than me. He's a chubby guy, 145lbs.
Have you guys seen the video of Security trying to keep Booker from getting to the back to fight Gorgui last night? Hilarious. And it shows how fake most "hold me back" situations are.
yeah that was funny. Too bad Ulis isn't on the team anymore, he would've stepped to Deng.
Booker seems like he's generally spoiling for a fight. I'm surprised his buddy KAT didn't step in to try to keep the peace.
I know. He should be more careful with that face.
That push off that left Keldon on the floor early in the second half happened right in front of the ref and not call. Refs should have random eyesight testing.
I swear officiating gets worse every year.
Because there are no consequences for the refs, I'm sure they have some guidelines in place but they never enforce them.
They Troy radio play by play announcer does a local talk show here (and he hated to lost Neal BTW) said flat out just this morning that you have to pay attention to who the refs are.
He said he LOVES Pat Adams (who of course called that spike on Eye-zak).
Then he said with Doug Shows you can NOT ball fake or he will ALWAYS call a travel. He also said Shows likes to play to the crowd a bit, the old "The crowd is here to see me ref the game" belief.
That was very telling to me. Some folks defend refs like they're all pure as snow, just human & not perfect, as if egos and such never get in the way. Pfffttt!!!
Ugh. My spelling. PROOFREAD CG!!! Haha.
I meant to add that it's very telling because I trust this guy's judgment. He's not the type of talk show host that just goes off on people to get the phones to ring. His talk show co-host does though sometimes.
Wherefore art thou, Romeo doesn't mean where…it means WHY.
Wish Matt would stay away from Shakespeare.
Totally agree with this guy. So sick of the split screen.
Yep, especially when they're just showing the coaches screaming. Don't like the "coach wired" thing, either.
Yeah like the is how they talk when they're not wired.
or worse, when they are showing us Duke's schedule. like anybody watching a UK game gives a flying you-know-what about Duke's schedule.
I like the wired thing with Cal some.
I was okay with the Barkley segment Saturday, but just not how long it went. It should have been no more than half that long, if that.
I was fine with Barkley. He at least brings something to the broadcast. I would take him over Dukie V any day. Just don't get so caught up in the reminiscing that the game gets ignored. But a lot of that was DV getting him sidetracked with all the other stuff.
Hell, I would probably pay extra to get to hear what the coaches are saying all the time. 🙂 It's like the NASCAR worshipers who wear the headsets to listen to the pit crews.
I was fine with how much they talked to Barkley, but just let me watch the game. I don't need to see their conversation.
Hearing them even mention duke is offensive to me, sorry can't control my extreme dislike for duke and K.
Notice I didn't say hatred for duke and K, although I wanted to. That's growth for me.
iam, when Count K retires I am going to dance and do cartwheels.
I like "Count K", but I think I still prefer "Coach Nosferatu".
If I outlive Count K I might visit his grave with a cross, wooden stakes, garlic and some UK gear. The UK gear ought to be the final stake.
I'm thinking what you leave on the grave won't pass for flowers.
Man you're really good runnin!
Do you guys realize how many points Hagans got for other people last night. I know you do but it's just amazing to watch this kid hand out the ball.
I love his defense big time.
Hagans puts some zip on his passes. The big guys have to stop getting the defensive rebound and tossing a lazy pass to the guards; teams are cheating back and picking those off.
Players used to wear suits on the sideline if they weren't dressed out.
Jerry Claiborne used to make the football players wear suits, and they couldn't wear their hair long or have facial hair. LOL, it was almost like the military.
Now half of them want to look like Sasquatch with the hair and the rats nest beards.
West Virginia had not won a Big12 game, 0-5, and beat Kansas. I'm expecting to see a beat down of the Jaybirds next weekend.
Wish PJ would show up every night, like last night.
That's why PJ is so frustrating. He can be absolutely dominant when he wants to be.
He should feast on the jay birds with Azubuike out of there.

As the East Coast braces for the impact of Hurricane Florence, we have a map that gives a unique look at the storm and demonstrates the hurricane's size compared to Michigan.
The National Weather Service's latest forecast for Hurricane Florence says, "Florence is forecast to approach and slowly move southwest along the Carolina coastline Thu night into Saturday. This slow motion will bring a persistent, life-threatening storm surge, and, excessive to historic rains, locally up to 40 inches."
The National Hurricane Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has multiple looks at Hurricane Florence and the entire country via satellite and enhancements. We've taken an image of the hurricane, added color to show contrast in the clouds, then placed the image over Michigan to show its size.
This image of Hurricane Florence was taken around 4:00 p.m. EST on Sept. 12, 2018.
Hurricane Florence will bring catastrophic damages to the East Coast. You can help. Here's a list places where you can donate to help those who need it most.

England Announce 16-Member Squad for T20I Series Against India
All the matches of India vs England T20 series will be played in Ahmedabad. After the T20 series, England will play a three-match ODI series against Men In Blue.
England T20I Squad | Image: Twitter
Senior wicketkeeper-batsmen Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow, on Thursday named in a 16-member England squad for the five T20 International matches against India, scheduled to be played in Ahmedabad from March 12 to March 20.
Jos Buttler will return after missing three games of the ongoing four-match red-ball series. Buttler has returned home after the opening Test against India, which the visiting side won by 227 runs.
Apart from Buttler, Jonny Bairstow has been named in the squad. He has been rested for the first two Tests as part of England's rotational policy.
England have handed an opportunity to 27-year-old Liam Livingstone, who might feature in the English line-up after more than three years, since his last T20I. The opener from Lancashire was in good form in the recently concluded edition of the Big Bash League (BBL), where he represented Perth Scorchers.
Veteran Moin Ali, Sam Curran, Tom Curran and Dawid Malan have also been included in the 16-member squad for England's T20 series. Apart from these players, players like Adil Rashid and Jason Roy are also going to be a part of T20 series against India.
Jake Ball and Matt Parkinson have been named reserves. The visitors will depart on February 26 and play all five T20I matches in Ahmedabad. A majority of the England squad have played extensive T20I cricket on Indian pitches in the Indian Premier League.

Very good start to the EPL fantasy season, but like Tiger leaving a couple strokes on the board in yesterday's PGA Championship, a couple late lineup decisions kept us from being first.
Since fantasy football isn't starting for us in a couple weeks, we'll be focusing on our EPL fantasy futból team for now. Check out our post from last week to see the main differences between fantasy football and fantasy futból.
Our main EPL fantasy league is a $50, 8-team, winner take all league with total scoring. Thus, whoever scores the most points over the course of a season wins.
In our main league, we are determining the winner based on who finishes 1st in the first session (first half of the season), with another $50 follow-up for the second session.
After Week 1, our EPL fantasy futból team scored 70 points, good for 2nd place in our main league. We're also in a separate head-to-head league and won that matchup.
For context, to make it in the top 1% of all EPL fantasy futból teams last year, you'd need to average around 55-60 points for each game week.
However, two late swaps prevented us from being first. The first was swapping out Richarlison for Sessegnon in MID, and swapping out Mendy for Davies in DEF. Those two decisions cost us 25 points.
Oh well. Until next week.
In other news, our fantasy football team drafts 2nd in our 12-team, one keeper league. Stay tuned for updates on who every team in this league will keep before our draft in two weeks.

It is no secret that God asks us to give up our sins, some of which may be very dear to our hearts. He asks us to change our lives in ways that can be difficult or painful. He asks us to give up our pride. He asks us to step out in faith and do things that get us out of our comfort zone. He asks for a lot.
So that we won't go to hell. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 says plainly, "the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power." For those who really believe all that the Bible says about hell (and the Bible says a LOT about it) this is a real motivation to do the right thing.
There are many other possible reasons to do the right thing. To be a good example to those younger than us. To avoid hurting family and friends. To keep a clear conscience. To maintain personal credibility.
But there is one primary reason to do the right thing that we must not forget.
We do the right thing because, as Christians, we don't have a choice. God owns us. We gave up our rights when we died with Him through baptism (Romans 6). We signed up to be slaves of righteousness (also Romans 6). It is not we who live but Christ who lives in us (Galatians 2:20). Our lives are living sacrifices (Romans 12:1).
We live in a society that esteems personal freedom over duty. Others may give us advice, but they are not to control us. No one can tell us what to do, we get to weigh the pros and cons and decide for ourselves. But the relationship between the Christian and his God is not this way.
God can and does tell us what to do. If you want to follow Him, you only have one choice: submit. We don't get to pull out a list of pros and cons every time we want to sin, assess the situation, and decide whether discipleship seems personally advantageous. God either owns you or you do not belong to Him at all.


Whether your thing is a tribute to Freddy Krueger or a Top Ten List of Sidekick Characters from 80s Movies (be sure to check out Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli!), Kickin' It Old School has what you love about '80's pop culture. Here is where I stress pop culture; the closest thing to rap you will find on this blog is Will "The Fresh Prince" Smith's A Nightmare on My Street.
My one complaint about this site is the way it is organized: it needs work. Each blog is listed by the month and year in which it was written; meaning there are no title links to click on, so if you are looking for something specific you may have to do a little searching, but that's also a part of what makes this site so fun - searching through all the cheese that made the '80's so great. If you stop by Kickin' It Old School be sure you have a few hours to kill because the archives are extensive, dating back to January 2008. As a bonus, if Kickin' It Old School doesn't offer you enough '80's stuff, there is also a long list of blogs that are referenced throughout the site, so you can go directly to the source material. I'm telling you, this blog is stuffed fatter than a Thanksgiving turkey and it's full of all things '80's. So what are you waiting for? Don't make me go Rambo on you! Put that Sunday paper down and get on over to Kickin' It Old School! In the meantime, I'll be taking a nap on your stonewashed jeans (I mean your Sunday paper!).
P.S. Here is something you will not see on Kickin' It Old School but should! Enjoy!
