Disney’s 3D movie “Alice in Wonderland” just passed “Avatar’s” opening weekend record of $116.2 million and this week Samsung and Panasonic want you to enjoy this new viewing format from the comfort of your living room couch. Panasonic will start selling their 3D TVs Wednesday at Best Buy Stores.
Thanks to the recent success of 3D movies at the box office, TV makers are hoping that consumers will clamor to buy 3D TVs to enjoy these movies in all of their new dimensional splendor. Samsung revealed Tuesday the pricing and current availability for their 3D TVs while Sony announced that their 3D sets will arrive on June 10. LG also has a 3D lineup ready for release in May with Vizio following in August. Read more
Sages & Scientists: Breaking All the Rules
As I drove to The La Costa Resort and Spa, for the 1st Annual Sages and Scientists 2010 Symposium, I couldn’t help but think about what I was going to experience; three days with Deepak Chopra and a panel of the world’s most brilliant minds.
Day 1
After I dropped off my car at the valet, I curiously walked into the Gardenia Room where the registration for the event took place. I signed in and gathered my identification badge and made my way into the Poinsettia Ballroom. The room could easily fit 1,000 people.
The round tables were arranged banquet style with table coverings. The stage was towards the south side of the room while the sound and technical equipment were at the north side.
The anticipation of the evening was building and the splendid saxophonist playing jazz ballads kindled the right mood for the night. The room slowly began to fill and the lights were dim.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats we are about to begin,” a voice said over the loudspeakers. A sound rivaling thunder exploded into the room; The Rancho Bernardo High School Band marched to the stage playing a Big Band classic that skyrocketed the energy in the room. The music was so intense and powerful that I wanted to jump out of my seat and dance my heart out. Everyone was bopping their heads and tapping their toes. When the music subsided, Deepak Chopra took the stage and set the tone for the remainder of the symposium. Read more
San Diego Weather – weekly snow and surf report
Once again, unfortunate weekend rain is giving way to a week of sterling weather. Sparse clouds early in the week will vanish in favor of pure sunshine, persisting through the end of next weekend. Spring is definitely on the horizon, with this week offering a tantalizing if slightly cooler taste of the coming months.
Temperatures will hover from the upper 50’s to the upper 60’s during the day, before dropping down to the low 50’s and occasionally upper 40’s at night.
Surf conditions will be excellent throughout the week. Cloudless skies, warm water, and moderately sized waves ensure that the beaches will be packed.

Hernandez Hideaway – A Closer Look
The quaint Mexican restaurant hidden by Lake Hodges off the Del Dios Highway has been a North County escape for years. When John Gardener III was arrested at Hernandez Hideaway for the murder of Chelsea King on Sunday, Feburary 28th, Hernandez Hideaway made international headlines.
Originally, the building which Hernandez Hideaway occupies was a stage coach stop, and even rumored as being a brothel many years ago. The building was built around the same time that the Lake Hodges dam was constructed.
When you step into the restaurant and local watering hole you can observe the original architecture which is still intact. The building has also been used for religious purposes in the past, but was finally turned into the Mexican restaurant we know and love in 1972.
Hernandez Hideaway credits itself as the arguable inventor of the Margarita. If you visit Hernandez you can enjoy one of their famous Margaritas which are known for being very strong.
If the drink fits your fancy they even sell the special Hernandez Hideaway Margarita mix you can take home with you.
The restaurant is nestled in the Lake Hodges area and serves as a meeting place for many local groups and friends. On a Saturday afternoon you wouldn’t be surprised to find Harley Davidsons lined up in the dirt parking lot across from the restaurant. Alternatively, you could expect to walk into Hernandez and see families enjoying special time together for Sunday brunch.
