Surely you have heard of the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion (CWMP)?  The Pavilion is an outdoor amphitheater surrounded by trees and directly connected to a pathway that drifts along the waterway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 2 Cinemark Theaters in The Woodlands with a combined total of more than 20 screens, several restaurants, a waterway taxi, Town Central Shuttle and more; you are certain to find something to enjoy in &lt;a href="http://woodlandsevents.com"&gt;The Woodlands, Texas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1868283241958646135-1923882099056788674?l=woodlandstexas.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://woodlandsevents.com' title='Woodlands Events'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://woodlandstexas.blogspot.com/feeds/1923882099056788674/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1868283241958646135&amp;postID=1923882099056788674' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1868283241958646135/posts/default/1923882099056788674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1868283241958646135/posts/default/1923882099056788674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://woodlandstexas.blogspot.com/2008/05/woodlands-events.html' title='Woodlands Events'/><author><name>Woodzy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14652974105203353123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2cU4S18oPlc/TibntfMUl2I/AAAAAAAAAZ0/fdm3za00uZY/s220/typepad-logo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868283241958646135.post-7392613348635719172</id><published>2007-12-29T18:23:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T18:31:14.351-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='siv'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mortgage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='foreclose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='broker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cdo'/><title type='text'>Green Dollars and Spam</title><content type='html'>A modern twist on Dr Suess - (Wall Street Journal's economics blog)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Broker Joe!&lt;br /&gt;    Show me some flow&lt;br /&gt;    I need the dough!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I'm Broker Joe!&lt;br /&gt;    That Broker Joe!&lt;br /&gt;    That Broker Joe!&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like that Broker Joe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Would you buy my CDO?&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like them, Broker Joe&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like your CDO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Would you like it here or there?&lt;br /&gt;    I would not like it here or there&lt;br /&gt;    I would not like it anywhere&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like your CDO&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like it, Broker Joe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Would you like to sell some yen?&lt;br /&gt;    I do not want to sell the yen&lt;br /&gt;    The big fat tail just kills my zen&lt;br /&gt;    If you don't sell now, then when?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I will not sell it here or there&lt;br /&gt;    I will not sell it anywhere&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like your CDO&lt;br /&gt;    I do not like it, Broker Joe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Our SIV has had a few rough knocks&lt;br /&gt;    Get in now, you sly old fox!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I am slyer than a fox&lt;br /&gt;    And I don't think that you have the docs&lt;br /&gt;    That you must have if you foreclose&lt;br /&gt;    And so a judge will thumb his nose&lt;br /&gt;    At you, your SIV, and CDO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Who owns the mortgage?&lt;br /&gt;    I don't know&lt;br /&gt;    And you don't either, Broker Joe&lt;br /&gt;    I would not know it here or there&lt;br /&gt;    I would not know it anywhere&lt;br /&gt;    I will not buy your CDO&lt;br /&gt;    I will not buy it, Broker Joe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    We have some hedge funds who are long&lt;br /&gt;    Those guys are smart!
