A newly-opened restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia claims its 18-and-up
policy is a hit. Several months ago, The Sushi Place announced
they would not allow children, since there seemed to be a lack of adults-only
dining options in the neighborhood. Itâs hardly the first time the
kids-in-restaurants debate has made headlines, and itâs a controversial issue on
both sides. But the owners of The Sushi Place say response has been great so far
and theyâve had a packed house ever since their grand opening a few weeks ago.
As they put it, âWe by no means hate children or think they don't belong
in restaurants. They just don't belong in this particular one.â
What do you think about this restaurantâs no-kids-allowed policy? Do
you think kids belong in restaurants? Does it depend on the restaurant? Do you
bring your kids to restaurants?
Neither KIM KARDASHIAN nor KANYE WEST have commented since their daughter's birth on Saturday . . . but some of Kim's annoying family members have. Here's the rundown: Her mom KRIS JENNER Tweeted, quote, "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, Kanye!!!!!!" (She also linked to this collage, which features photos of Kanye, Lamar Odom, Scott Disick, Bruce Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian.) She also said, quote, "God is so amazing!!! Jesus loves the little children." (It would've been funny if she would've called Kanye "Yeezus" . . . you know, his "god name." But maybe she's too religious to find humor in that.) (???) KHLOE KARDASHIAN Tweeted, quote, "I cannot even begin to describe the miracle that is now a part of our family. Mommy [and] baby are healthy and resting. We appreciate all of the love. More info will come when the time is right!"
Khloe Kardashian Says Her New Niece Is an Indescribable "Miracle"
An Internet connection came in first . . . television came in second . . . and a good best friend came in fourth. Those all did better than a SOLID MARRIAGE, which only ranked ninth, below stuff like showers and central heating. Here's the full list, in order . . . 1. An internet connection. 2. Television. 3. Cuddling. Yep, seriously. 4. A trustworthy best friend. 5. Daily showers. 6. Central heating. 7. A cup of tea. (It's a British survey. They ranked coffee 12th. Let's assume if this was an American survey coffee would be up here and tea would be nowhere to be found. And AC might replace central heating.) 8. Saying "I love you" once in a while. 9. A solid marriage. 10. A car. 11. Glasses. 12. Coffee. 13. Chocolate. 14. A night in on the couch. 15. A glass of wine. 16. A good cry once in a while. 17. A big breakfast. 18. A nice vacation. 19. An iPhone. 20. Beer.
A new study has found that the average man doesn't become fully emotionally mature until age 43
. And that's WAY later than women. Women are mature at age 32 . . . a full 11 years earlier
. About EIGHT out of 10 women surveyed say they don't think men EVER get mature
. And they also RANKED the most immature things guys do. Here's the top 15 . . . 1. Finding it HILARIOUS when they burp or pass gas. 2. Eating fast food at 2:00 A.M. 3. Playing video games. 4. Driving too fast. 5. Laughing at swear words. 6. Playing loud music when they drive. 7. Playing practical jokes. 8. Trying too hard to beat kids at games and sports. 9. Staying quiet during arguments. 10. Not being able to cook simple meals. 11. Re-telling the same stupid jokes and stories when they're with their guy friends. 12. Not wanting to talk about themselves. 13. Hating books, because they think they're "boring" or because they have a short attention span. 14. Doing crazy dance moves. 15. Letting their mom do their laundry.
FULL STORY: Father's Day is this Sunday . . . but apparently not that many people know it. According to a new study, people are MUCH less invested in Father's Day than Mother's Day. The study found that there are 215% more searches online for Mother's Day gifts and gift ideas than for Father's Day gifts and gift ideas. So WHY do people put so much more effort into Mother's Day than Father's Day? The top two answers are that mothers are, quote, "more deserving" of a big gift . . . and that fathers would be happier to settle for something smaller. (Scotsman)
Parks in a suburb of Chicago called Buffalo Grove, Illinois have put up signs reminding parents not to be JERKS when they're watching their kids play sports. But they use humor, so no one gets offended. Here's what the signs say: "This is a GAME being played by CHILDREN . . . if they win or lose every game, it will not affect what college they attend or their future income potential." "Of the hundreds of thousands of children who have ever played youth sports in Buffalo Grove, very few have gone on to play professionally. It is highly unlikely that any college recruiters or professional scouts are watching these games." "So, let's keep it all about having fun and being pressure-free. Referees umpires and officials are human and make mistakes, just like players, coaches and you." "No one shouts at you in front of other people when you make a mistake, so please don't yell at them. We do not have video replay; so, we will go with their calls."
FULL STORY: By 2023, your dog may be able to talk to you. And won't you be disappointed when it turns out he only likes you because you give him food . . . and occasionally let him smell other dogs' anuses. Con Slobodchikoff is a professor at Northern Arizona University, and he's been working on a device that can interpret prairie dog barks, and translate them into English. He says within 10 years, technology SHOULD reach the point where we'll be able to interpret what other animals are saying . . . including farm animals, wild animals, and even cats and dogs. This will go beyond just being able to find out if your dog is hungry or tired or filled with murderous rage toward the FedEx guy. Slobodchikoff says this could also save millions of dogs' lives. Quote, "Four million dogs are euthanized every year because of behavioral problems. Most problems are because of the lack of communication between animal and human. "If we had the chance to talk back and forth, the dog could say, 'You're scaring me.' And you could say, 'Well, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was scaring you. I'll give you more space."
Are We 10 Years Away From Being Able to Communicate With Our Pets?
HIGHLIGHTS: According to a new survey, women start turning into their mother at age 31. Half of women said that in their early 30s, they started noticing they watched the same shows as their mother . . . used the same sayings . . . and liked the same type of men. And the main cause was . . . the birth of their first child.
FULL STORY: According to a new survey, women notice they're turning into their mother at age 31. More than HALF of women said that in their early 30s, they started using the same sayings as their moms . . . watched the same shows . . . had the same hobbies . . . and shared the same taste in men. And one in four said it happened at age 31. One in 20 women thought that they turned into their mother when they were in their 20s . . . and one in four said it happened in their late 30s. One in 10 said it didn't happen until after age 40. The women said the main cause for the transformation was the same thing that made THEIR mother who she was . . . having kids. One in three women said that they noticed they were becoming more like her after having kids of their own. And maybe the biggest surprise was that 51% of women said they were OKAY with becoming their mother.
On Saturday night, an 18-year-old girl in Washington was banned from her prom . . . and she says it's because her BREASTS ARE TOO BIG. She was wearing a strapless dress that showed some cleavage, and the school told her she couldn't come in. They finally let her in with a shawl covering everything up, but she left, saying it wasn't the same. Now she's asking for an apology.

According to a study out of England . . . but one we're pretty sure would apply over here too . . . at 60% of fast food places, the ice in the ice machine contains more bacteria than the toilets. For the study, researchers swabbed the ice from their drinks and the toilets at McDonald's, Burger King, and KFC. And at about three of every five locations, the ice contained bacteria including things as serious as E. coli. The theory here is that the employees clean the bathrooms pretty regularly, but don't clean the ice machine so often. That leads to more bacteria building up in the ice machine than in the toilets. Now . . . this DOESN'T necessarily mean you'll get sicker from drinking the ice than drinking out of the toilet. But if you drink from enough cups with nasty fast food ice, you could run the risk of getting sick.

FULL STORY: According to a new survey, 77% of people say they look forward to taking road trips with their family or their significant other. BUT . . . they also admit that road trips almost ALWAYS lead to at least a little fighting. Here are the top seven fights people have during road trips . . . 1. Driving skills. That includes everything from driving too slowly or tailgating, to changing lanes too much. 2. The temperature in the car. 3. Directions. 4. Where to eat. 5. Swearing at other drivers or flipping them off. 6. The volume in the car. That includes everything from whether or not to blast the radio to the kids shouting at each other. 7. Smoking.

Thanks to everyone that came out to see The Great Gatsby tonight. Start making plans now for our next $6 movie night in July!http://www.mix93.com/pages/16024602.php?
Jack Reacher was released on DVD this week. This film stars Tom Cruise as a homicide investigator working to solve a case of a sniper who shot 5 victims at random.
When I saw the previews for this movie, I had a feeling it would be cheesy and a fun film to laugh at... and it was. So it you want a good laugh without watching a comedy, check it out.
It turns out playing video games wonât necessarily turn your brain to mush.
In fact, it could be good for you! Research has found that playing computer games may help keep
your brain sharp and prevent aging-related cognitive decline. In some cases, it
may even reverse these effects. Other studies have shown a link between
computer games and lower levels of depression.
In related news, Candy Crush Saga has beat out Angry Birds as the most popular
game on Facebook and mobile devices. More than 15 million people play Candy
Crush on Facebook every day. Whether itâs making them smarter is yet to be
seen.
Do you play computer games? Which ones? Do you think games help keep your
brain sharp? Do you play Candy Crush? Whatâs your favorite game to play on your
mobile device?
I finally had a chance to see '42', the story of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play major league baseball. It stars Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford.
This film isn't perfect by any means, but the story is so important and fascinating, it's a must see. I feel that what Robinson went through was probably much worse than what was portrayed on the screen, but it was nice to get an overview of how he became the legend he is today.
At times I wanted to jump out of my seat and scream for Jackie to take action against his persecutors, but the way he bridled his emotions and let his ability do the talking, was simply inspiring. I can only imagine the type of man he must have been.
Boseman, a newcomer to the big screen, was a good choice to play Jackie Robinson. He did a good job of encapsulating Robinson with his look and even how he ran and hit. I was also impressed by Harrison Ford's performance as Branch Rickey, the President of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was refreshing to see Ford immerse himself into a role like he did in this movie.
I was truly inspired by this film and I believe anyone who watches it will like it. Go see it!!!
Here's a preview for M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth. I have some reservations about this film, especially after Shyamalan's last few movies. I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise, but it doesn't look too promising.

LOVE DONâT COST A THING (BUT DIVORCE
DOES)
An over-the-top wedding could cost you more than just thousands of dollars.
Many couples who celebrate their nuptials with extravagant events end up getting
divorced- and citing the expense as a reason for their split.
Eight out of 10 couples who divorce within five years after tying the knot blame
the excessive cost of the wedding. Experts say that once the big day is past and
reality sets in, the stress of paying off wedding debts can be hard on
relationships. The only thing worse than blowing six figures on your wedding?
Having to spend the same amount on a divorce attorney a few years later.
What do you think of expensive, over-the-top weddings? How much did your
wedding cost? How much is too much to spend on a wedding? Do you think financial
pressures can put strain on relationships?

If you see The Great Gatsby in 3D there is a 3D preview of the upcoming film entitled Gravity starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. This movie looks terrifying and I can't wait to see it!!!
Below is a link to the trailer. Seeing this teaser in 3D is enough reason in and of itself to see The Great Gatsby in 3D.
The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton. It was directed by Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet, Australia).
This film is an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famed novel The Great Gatsby. It is the story of Nick Carraway (Maguire), an aspiring writer, who moves to New York to work as a bondsman. Nick becomes intrigued by his mysterious and wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio). Gatsby invites Nick to one of his lavish parties in order to reconnect with Nick's cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan).
If you're a huge fan of the book and expect no liberties to be taken from the story, you will not be happy about this film.
That being said, if you want to see an all around great movie and have an open mind to Baz Luhrmann's style, you'll love this movie. The sets, the color, the cars, and the costumes were fantastic. I even liked how they mixed the modern music with the musical styles of the roaring twenties (which may be a turn off for some).
The acting was good all around, but Leonardo DiCaprio was great. He seems to get better with every role he plays and he was a wonderful fit for Gatsby.
This was a great love story, filled with romance, mystery, thrills and extravagance. At a run time of 142 minutes, I never felt like it was too long and in my opinion, it was paced perfectly.
I do feel like you will miss out if you don't see it in 3D. With the lavish colors and sets, it really makes you feel like you're there and I recommend spending a few extra bucks catch this one in 3D.
It's funny, I heard a lot of bad things about this film before I had a chance to see it, but as the movie progressed, I was hard pressed to find anything I didn't like about it. I enjoyed it from beginning to finish.
You will like this if you liked Moulin Rouge! or Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. On a side note, I do think it's geared towards a younger crowd. I give this movie an "A".

Now this is just sad! Almost half of American parents admit to taking money from their childrenâs savings accounts- and more
than 50% donât even feel bad about it! Most people said they dipped into
their kidsâ savings to pay bills, but others used the dough for family vacations
and gifts. Of the parents who claim theyâve never done such a thing, more than
30% said theyâd consider it in the event of a medical emergency. And then there
are the 46% of parents who have never stolen money from their kidsâ
accountsâ¦because they havenât even started accounts for their kids. Weâre not
sure whatâs worse!

When I first heard Hunter Hayes, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed his
music. I'm not a big country music fan at all, so this is totally out of my
element...but who can resist a catchy pop-country hook?!
Wednesday afternoon, I had the chance to see Hunter perform a short
acoustic set at the Kill Devil Club. In between songs, he talked to fans and
expressed his gratitude toward them each time. He seemed like a genuinely nice,
humble, guy.
Hunter played three songs: "Somebody's Heartbreak," his first number one
hit "Wanted," and his newest single, "I Want Crazy." He sounded just as good
(if not better) live as he does recorded. With his wide vocal range, he hit
each note flawlessly.
Check out the deluxe version of his debut album, "Hunter Hayes [Encore],"
which includes all of the songs off the original album PLUS new music, available
June 18th.
Iron Man 3 stars Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don
Cheadle and Ben Kingsley. Shane Black has taken over as the director instead of
Jon Favreau in this installment of the series.
This film starts out at a fairly slower pace than the previous two, but
builds as it goes and keeps getting better and better.
In this one, Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) is called upon by the public to deal
with a sinister terrorist who calls himself Mandarin (Kingsley). At the same
time, Stark struggles with extreme anxiety attacks as he tries to deal with the
recent events of saving mankind from the other worldly villains in The
Avengers.
The acting was top notch. Robert Downey Jr. was great as always, and spends
more time out of his Iron Man suit in this one than the previous two Iron
Man films. Guy Pearce was a good addition to the series. He was a perfect
villain and was fun to hate. Ben Kingsley, easily one of the greatest actors of
our time, was amazing in this film. He will most definitely take you by surprise
and his performance alone makes this movie worth seeing.
The action and special effects were great. The story, although slow at times,
was interesting, had great comic relief and a big payoff at the end.
Go see this movie if you liked any of the other Marvel Comics movies such as
Thor, The Avengers or the other two Iron Man movies.
Whether or not you see it in 3D, you'll enjoy this one. I give this picture an
"A-".
Also, be sure to stay all the way through the credits.
Today, Andrew McMahon
released his debut solo EP, âThe Pop Underground.â Now youâre probably
thinking, âWho?!â Andrew McMahon fronted pop/punk band Something Corporate and
piano/rock band Jackâs Mannequin. Still not ringing a bell? Thatâs probably
because he has never had a radio hit with any of his musical projects. But
donât let that fool you. This guy is the full package.
Despite no radio airplay,
McMahon has had an extremely successful musical career and has gained an
enormous fan base over the past decade through extensive worldwide touring and
with music that appeals to a diverse audience. He also consistently puts on one
of the most amazing live shows Iâve ever seen (more on that later).
Iâm being completely honest
when I say that there isnât a song Andrew McMahon has written that I donât
enjoy, whether it be for Something Corporate, Jackâs Mannequin, or his solo
music. This man is a brilliant songwriter, musician, and performer. His
passion is heard through each song and each performance.
His solo EP, âThe Pop
Underground,â is now available on iTunes. He will be in Kansas City on June 21st
with Allen Stone and O.A.R at The Crossroads. You donât want to miss this
show!
Iâll leave you with a sample
of music from each of McMahonâs musical projects (Something Corporate, Jackâs
Mannequin, & Andrew McMahon).

"Pain & Gain" is true story of a gang of bodybuilders who kidnap a
wealthy businessman in order to take all of his money and assets. It was
directed by Michael Bay and stars Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie
and Tony Shaloub.
Although the previews for this movie make it appear to be a fun and action
packed comedy, I found it to be highly disturbing, anti-climactic, and
frustrating. The fact that this film was based on a true story is disheartening,
mainly from knowing the fact that people can be so stupid in real life.
The film started out pretty good, but as it progressed, it became more and
more sickening and to be completely honest, I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Everyone in the film did a good job and Tony Shaloub was, in my opinion, the
best thing about it. Unfortunately, good acting can't make up for a story like
this one. The cinematography was strange with odd camera angles and shaky shots
that made it difficult to see what was taking place at times.
I can't think of anyone to whom I would recommend this movie. I think maybe
if you liked "Very Bad Things", you might like it (might).
I give this movie a "D". Which is disappointing as I thought it looked pretty
good.
I'm so excited to announce the great news! I accepted a job as the accounts manager for a sports marketing agency here in Chicago! I start working with 18 cities in just the next 18 weeks!
One Direction's North American summer tour may have just become a little more
interesting. According to "The Mirror," the boys are reportedly looking to swap
their swanky private jets for a customized version of Scooby Doo's Mystery
Machine as they tour the U.S. Apparently, Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam and Louis
spent about 100-thousand dollars to buy an old Volkswagen camper "Mystery
Machine" look-a-like that's currently at a shop in England in the process of
being pimped out. The new van will reportedly include state-of-the-art plasma
screen televisions, individual entertainment consoles and their trademark "1D"
logo stamped on the sides.
A source tells the paper that the boys
wanted to do something special for U.S. fans, but that it's still not a done
deal. The "Mystery Machine" needs to be cleared by their management team, and
if it's deemed too impractical to drive from city to city, it won't be used.
According to a new survey, the average person breaks the law 260 times a
year . . . or five times a week. Now, granted, they're all really minor laws .
. . but still, illegal is illegal. Here are the top 10 most common laws people
break . . .
1. Jaywalking, or crossing after the sign says "Don't Walk."
2. Taking ketchup packets, creamer, or other little single-serving packets
from restaurants.
3. Taking supplies from work.
4. Pocketing the money when you get the wrong amount of change.

When I first heard Hunter Hayes, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed his
music. I'm not a big country music fan at all, so this is totally out of my
element...but who can resist a catchy pop-country hook?!
