Hong Kong Disneyland Loss Narrows to $93 Million as Park Attendance Climbs

Amplify’d from abouthkcom.blogspot.com
Walt Disney Co. narrowed the annual loss at Hong Kong Disneyland and said it expects the business to turn profitable “fairly soon” as visitor numbers rise and the park expands.
The net loss shrank to HK$720 million ($93 million) in the 12 months ended Oct. 2 from a HK$1.3 billion loss a year earlier, according to a statement distributed in Hong Kong today. Park attendance increased 13 percent to 5.2 million visitors, boosting sales 19 percent to HK$3 billion.
The theme park benefited from a 27 percent surge in arrivals from mainland China in Hong Kong last year as wealth generated in the world’s fastest-growing major economy spurred outbound tourism. New areas of the park scheduled to be completed in 2014 may lure more visitors.

Amplify’d from www.hdbludvd.com
It looks as if the Toshiba are joining the rest of the competition by bringing out a 3D capable laptop in the form of the dynabook T551/D8B, it is due out next month in Japan with an price tag of around $2,600, so it not going to be cheap at first.
The excellent Toshiba dynabook T551/D8B comes with a 15.6 inch screen with a low end 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution, although it should be enough to put the user right into the action, but only if they are wearing the right sort of glasses, luckily a pair are actually included in with the package. Although if the user wants to watch 3D video on a larger screen with some friends, more glasses are required and as these can cost around $40 a pair that is quite an expensive evening in!
Blu-ray drive which is fully 3D compatible, allow the latest 3D DVD’s to be played on the device, it also has come with one HDMI interface this means watching 3D and HD DVD’s on a larger screen or 3D high definition television easy.

DIYRock.Com: Get Up Kids Return to DIY Roots for New Album, Own Label

Amplify’d from www.diyrock.com

 Get Up Kids frontman Matt Pryor has his hands full: In addition to a reunited band with a new album on its own label, he has three kids who love to scream while daddy's on the phone.

Even putting his family man status aside, there's no denying that Pryor and his cohorts have come a long way since they led the second-wave "emo" movement of the mid-'90s. After the Get Up Kids' breakup in 2005, members flocked to their own musical projects (Reggie & the Full Effect, New Amsterdams) and established bands (Spoon, My Chemical Romance).

In 2009, the Get Up Kids kicked off a nostalgia-fueled reunion tour in support of the 10th-anniversary rerelease of "Something to Write Home About," during which fans began buzzing about new material. So the longtime Vagrant band -- one of the first acts the label signed after it launched in 1998 -- not only recorded an album, titled "There Are Rules" (Quality Hill, Jan. 25), but also founded its own label.
