...Theatre, which prides itself on showcasing only classics, indies and international imports. The theater will hold private screenings for parties upward of 15 guests on any day of the week. Originally a church, its past life is still evident in the spartan architecture. The turquoise fold-up seats and plush red carpets offer endearingly eccentric touches, accentuated by the theater’s dim lighting and faintly musky scent. Hosts choose from the theater’s collection of thousands of films. And, for a modest increase, friendly owner Ned Hinkle will even keep the concession bar stocked with popcorn...
...savings--to open YO! Sushi in London. "We had a line down the block," says Woodroffe, 52. Today there are 21 YO! Sushi restaurants in Britain, Greece and Dubai. Woodroffe's newest project is a hotel: combine a Japanese capsule hotel (tiny rooms, windows onto a corridor) with the plush service of a first-class airplane seat, and you've got YOTEL, a five-star inn at two-star ($130 a night) prices.

Gone is the ruggedness of even the originals’ instrumentation, replaced instead by electronic tones and effects slipped over unexpected delay-echoed muted horns and muffled acousto-electric guitars. “The Holiday Song” and “Is She Weird?” are particularly affected by these new arrangements, though in the case of the latter, and elsewhere, only moderately effective. Mr. Black was assisted in the Disc Two project...
...other areas, for example, by streamlining the supply chain and making their customers' jobs easier. At the Dongguan compound, Luen Thai provides major clients such as Polo Ralph Lauren and U.S. department-store chain Dillard's with dedicated teams of designers, merchandisers and sales staff?all housed in plush offices located on the factory site. Keeping designers close to production cuts development time and improves communication. Luen Thai teams are also able to learn about client expectations for materials, styles and costs. Eager to please, the company even bought a roomful of washing machines so it could carry out product...
