Kangol x SLJ Golf
Golf was born on the windy and cold links of Scotland just 100 miles north of Kangol's birthplace in Cumbria, England. A certain formality and etiquette surrounds the game, originally derived from the history of English court dress. Plus fours, pleated jackets, shirts, and ties were accessorized by sturdy shoes and the Tam o'Shantel, better known as the quarter cap. For decades golfers of all ages, amateurs and pros alike, have been sporting their favourite Kangol on the Links.
Now celebrating 75 years of quality and style, Kangol is proud to partner with legendary actor and golfer Samuel L. Jackson on an exciting new collection featuring the one and only original Flexfit. The patented Flexfit construction stretches easily while retaining its original shape for a comfortable fit. The Kangol Golf Range by Samuel L. Jackson combines the refined heritage of golf's glorified past with modern design. High tech goes high style; it's a Kangol.

I've tried a number of different recipes for home versions of tandoori chicken over the years, but though all were good none managed to match the incredible taste I remember of the best tandoori chicken I've had. This one, finally, nailed it, even without the blistering heat of the hot-clay charcoal tandoor. I use chicken thighs and legs exclusively. This recipe made enough spice paste to successfully marinate six legs and four thighs.
In a food processor, blend:
1/4 of a large onion
4 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup yoghurt (sour cream will do nicely, too)
1 tblsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp salt
2 tsp good Hungarian paprika
1/2 tsp each turmeric, cumin, cayenne and black pepper
1/4 tsp each nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground coriander
Blend until smooth, then add to ziploc bag with chicken parts. Marinate for 8 to 24 hours, then broil on a rack about 5 to 6 inches from the heat element until cooked through and slightly singed, about 18-20 minutes.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and Chlamydia
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and Chlamydia
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the uterus, the ovaries, and the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus (fallopian tubes). Up to 15 out of 100 women who have untreated chlamydia will develop PID.1
PID may cause scarring of the fallopian tubes. Scarring can block the tubes and prevent fertilization. About 1 out of 10 women cannot become pregnant after having PID once. After having PID three or more times, as many as 7 out of 10 women become infertile.2
Scarring of the fallopian tubes can prevent the fertilized egg from going to the uterus. When this happens, the egg may implant outside of the uterus. This is called an ectopic pregnancy. Women who have untreated chlamydia have a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy than other women. Ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening.
To reduce the risk of infertility after having PID, use a condom every time you have sex. Having fewer sex partners also helps prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Having multiple sex partners is one of the risk factors for chlamydia infection.

DLE-01 Last
The DLE-01 last was designed to be an extension of the foot with superior forefoot and heel capture, stability and a more anatomical shape for comfort. The additional space in the toebox allows the foot to naturally react when bearing a heavy load or changing directions laterally in high intensity environments.
Tips for the Perfect Fit
- Measure both feet. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, select a size that fits the larger of the two.
- Consider the type of socks you'll be wearing with your boot. For thicker socks, you may want to select a half size larger than you normally wear.
- When you do receive your boots, we recommend first wearing them indoors for a few hours to ensure they're the right fit.

- Danner does it again! Review by Christopher Mark Heben
Quality Price Value
I have worn Danner boots in combat zones since 1998. I have also worn them on hunting trips and Harley rides since that time as well. No matter what I am sasking them to do, they have never let me down. The Melee Canteen is no exception here. These 6" 'go-fatsers' are light and agile yet rugged and stable. Danner's new 'VIA' technology incorporated into the arch area of the inside portion of the boot is designed to resist abrasion and allow for better fast roping control. While I wont be doing any of that anytime soon, I did just use them this morning to do some rope climbing and they are all they are cracked up to be for this, as I was able to descend a lot more deliberately while using less muscle. I like the look and feel of the boot and they are very well stitched together. They lace up very quickly and I am able to get them as tight as I need them to be. I have a normal width foot and these fit me quite well. Plenty of room in the toe-box for me. No need to go up or down in sizing, just order your true size. Danner does it again!-Christopher Mark Heben

- Good boot...in time maybe great Review by JJ357
Price Value Quality
First thing you will notice is the rigid sole, excellent, almost like a Danner hiking boot. Couple of things come to mind why this would be good...tactically thinking here. Also the top portion of the boot is tough, yet light and breathable. The boot over all is light, which is a good thing if you plan on running and gunning with heavy load out, the rigid sole is helpful here. Not much protection on the top, like a steel toe would have, but I'm wearing this as everyday casual and when I run and gun out in the country, so there is no need for the hard protective top portion or steel toe. My feet are bad, so this is where I give it a not so good rating. If you have good feet (good arches, normal width, etc.) then please ignore the following. The inside support is mediocre, the toe box does not seem to have enough room and I bought a EE. My small outside toes are struggling a bit, annoying really. I have adjusted the give in the laces toward the toe box today and I am hoping this will help. If not, I like the boot enough to give it a second chance, and I will buy another pair a half size longer than my normal size, and if that does not help then the boot will get a bad review from me. Yes, I would have to buy another pair because these I have are in no condition to be returned for the next size up, they have been worn hard, I run and gun in these and I pay no attention to my feet, they get dragged in dirt, mud, gravel, water puddles, etc. AND they stayed intact, seems are just as good as when I purchased them.

SPOKANE, Wash. – SpokAnimal has been Spokane's animal control agency for decades, but no more.
Monday night, the Spokane City Council decided a 20 year contract would go to Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, or SCRAPS, for animal control services within Spokane County.
The City of Spokane and the county have spent about three and a half years trying to come up with a way to combine city and county animal services. SpokAnimal and SCRAPS both submitted proposals that would cost the city more than half a million dollars each year, for 20 years.
Spokane County Commissioner Todd Mielke says SCRAPS' proposal slightly beat out SpokAnimal's.
SpokAnimal says it will work to continue providing animal care and shelter, but will lose a whopping 60 percent of its budget and will have to lay off more than 20 employees.
As for SCRAPS, county commissioner Mielke says it will focus on buying and retrofitting a new facility in Spokane Valley. Mielke says it will cost about $1.7 million and money will come from license fees and service consolidation. He says he doesn't anticipate license fees going up.
As far as jobs at the new facility, SCRAPS says there will be room to hire about 20 new, full time employees.

Reaching out to high five your favorite singer during a concert is one thing, but one fan takes things a bit too far.
During Beyonce's performance of the hit "Irreplaceable" in Copenhagen an overzealous fan decided to slap the former Destiny's Child singer on the backside.
Beyonce had a few scolding words for the man saying, "I can have you escorted out," and continued the song without missing a beat.
Fans can see Beyonce in her "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" at the Palace on July 20.

By Nicole Lauer, email@example.com
Three Augustana College seniors turned their head-over-heels fascination with the soap opera-like romances of three early Augustana College students into an exhibit titled, "Augustana Sweethearts." The exhibit, nestled on the first floor of Augustana's Thomas Tredway Library, chronicles the lives of Netta Bartholomew Anderson, who graduated from Augustana College and Theological Seminary in 1888; Lydia Olsson, who completed her studies in 1894; and Ethel Pearson, a student in the late 19-teens who co-founded the Phi Rho sorority. The journals, love letters and scrapbooks the three left behind shed light on their love lives -- the dull dates, overbearing suitors, stormy relationships and other melodrama. Student curators Becky Hopman, Anna Pusateri and Natalie Markovich, said the documents show Ms. Bartholomew Anderson, one of the first six women to graduate from Augie, was known for rejecting suitors and had a fancy for K.T. Anderson, later referred to as"Dear Hubbie." The records in special collections -- mostly donated -- show while she married Mr. Anderson, her first love was Asbury Chester. Then there's the Rev. L.J. Motschmann, described as the lonely pastor who liked "spreading the Word of God, living in Nebraska and Netta."The three girls who put together the exhibit found diaries and other artifacts that showed Ms. Olsson was sought after by both Clarence Cederquist, whom they described as "the devoted lover," and Carl Appell, the "jealous admirer."Their research also revealed Ms. Pearson was pursued by Martin Collins, who was Ms. Pearson's first date, and Paul Reinertsen, who was known as "the right guy."Ms. Hopman said the exploration of the lives of the three women started when she found a listing for a diary while serving as a student worker at the library this summer with Ms. Pusateri. "I was rifling around in the back, just looking for things I hadn't seen before. I'm kind of a history nerd, and I just kind of latched on," Ms. Hopman said. "We started out with the idea of Lydia and wanted to share how cool she was."Both girls said they fell most in love with the stories from Ms. Olsson, who was the youngest daughter of Augustana's third president, Olof Olsson. "We, like, became friends with her over the summer," Ms. Pusateri said. Ms. Hopman and Ms. Pusateri said they found it easy to relate with her, although nearly a century separates their time at Augustana. Ms. Olsson's writings were filled with stories about boys, classes and the responsibilities Ms. Olsson had at home, Ms. Hopman said. The girls described Ms. Olsson as "pretty sassy for being the president's daughter" and said among the highlights from her papers was an account of Ms. Olsson climbing atop Old Main while it was being built.Among other suitors, Ms. Olsson was particularly enamored with Augustana student Clarence Cederquist. Ms. Hopman said things did not work out as planned, and he eventually moved away to be a lawyer in another Illinois town. "It was awful when I found out they didn't end up together," she said. Meet the sweethearts The public is invited to a Valentine's celebration featuring the "Augustana Sweethearts" exhibit at 4 p.m. today (Thursday) on the first floor of the Augustana College library. The student-curated exhibit features the love lives of early women Augustana students, Netta Bartholomew Anderson, Lydia Olsson, and Ethel Pearson. The exhibit will remain on display until mid-April.

Old Meets New in a Jaffa Apartment
Daily Icon
In the ancient Israeli city of Jaffa, which in our time has become part of Tel Aviv, Pitsou Kedem Architect completed a loving renovation of an old stone-walled apartment fit with luxurious modern interiors that would normally be found in a glass box house.
The building itself has undergone endless cosmetic transformations throughout the centuries, so the architects carefully exposed the original building structure and restored it where necessary. Many walls were removed to create a loft-like flow interrupted only by the historic structural elements. Stainless steel and Corian were added in the wet rooms to create a clean look that would not distract from the ancient beauty of the space, but would also remain true to the modern materials available to the designers. Furnishings are also kept sleek and minimal for the same purpose.

politics on apartmenttherapy. cute.
Know this was going to happen the moment I saw the location of the apartment. Wherever it is, however, it is breathtaking.
knew, rather.
BEAUTIFUL! And please, keep the politics out of AT. This site is a happy form of escapism for me, DON'T RUIN IT.
I've seen this remodel before, and to be honest, it really bothers me. The furniture and accessories seem to almost ignore the ancient history of the building in which they're situated. And the blatant affluence of the project--its enormous space, upper class minimalism--is completely at odds with the traditionally working class town in which it is located. This is Tel Aviv-Jaffa gentrification personified. Feh.
Politics, schmolitics. It's stunning.
Incidentally, archaological investigations have confirmed that the city was occupied by 7500 BCE; it is believed to have been founded by Japhet, son of Noah (of ark fame). In the intervening years, it's also been governed by the Egyptians (who first invaded in 1468 BCE), the Philistines, the Crusaders, and the Turks.
Would make a cool movie set.
It's gorgeous, and those columns are absolutely wonderful. What a cool space.
Absolutely gorgeous.
The furniture and accessories seem to almost ignore the ancient history of the building in which they're situated.
I disagree. Almost every architectural detail was spared -- how can one say that the developer ignored the ancient history of the building? The preservation of the ancient details is what makes this home stand out. The furniture and accessories are footnotes to history, but they still must allow the space to be livable. I very much like the juxtaposition of the modern elements against the ancient backdrop.
I agree with you @Scoot. What an amazing home.
Is it just me, or is the living room furniture undersized for the space?
Love. With all my might.
The *furniture*, IMHO, ignores the history of the building. The historical details of the beautiful space are completely at odds with its ultra-modern contents. IMHO.
I think the minimal furniture is fine because it lets the beautiful space be the star player.
I don't know much about Israel to be honest, but if the architects exposed the original structure and restored it (like the article says), I think that sounds as if they're respecting history. None of the modern changes look too permanent to me.
At any rate, it's a beautiful building.
Visually, it's nice but I would not want to live there. Not homey enough for me.
"The building itself has undergone endless cosmetic transformations throughout the centuries, so the architects carefully exposed the original building structure and restored it where necessary." I think its good that some rich people can actually restore a piece of history. Realistically most of us can never afford to do a proper job of restoring a rundown, badly treated building. I don't think this is gentrification but restoration. It's not like they tore the building down and built a high-rise condo with a Starbucks on the side. This is definitely better than some rich person building a faux French chateau McMansion in the suburbs.
I like the modern furniture, it makes it look fresh rather than a movie set for a historical film. However, I also think its undersized, particularly in the living room (?).
Stunning, although why the huge tv? I would be happy staring at the walls & ceiling.
I would move in, if someone would bring that house to nice safe Australia..
I have never understood the attitude that everything must be period. If you've got a really old building, should you be period accurate and stick with an outhouse or a chamberpot? I don't think so. Let's marry modern and ancient and enjoy aspects of both.
Well said hessboogie. This post makes me sad.
Blech, it looks so cold and wealthy and boring. There are truly great personal apartments in Tel Aviv-Yafo, some Jewish, some Arab, some Russian, and many of which would be interesting to feature on AT. But this reads like a brochure. What has happened to AT?
PS Miss Heliotrope, Tel Aviv-Yafo *is* safe. It is not Gaza. But come to think of it, it might be interesting for AT to feature a Palestinian apartment, or Arab Israeli one, too.
Wow -- looks like a bunch of comments got deleted from this post. That's pretty messed up. People can't express a political opinion? I don't think the missing posts broke any of the community rules (at least not the posts I saw). Make me respect AT a lot less all of a sudden.
I was just in Jaffa and I swear I saw this place! Gorgeous! If you happen to be touristing there, go to Jaffa and the look out for Andromeda's Rock. Look up toward the buildings and I think this apartment is to your immediate right. The view is amazing. They should have shown that as well!

For the fourth straight week, Hampton held an opponent scoreless.
This time, the Crabbers defeated Menchville 64-0 Friday at Darling Stadium.
Hampton did the bulk of its scoring in the second quarter.
Up 7-0, Deon Newsome completed a 66-yard bomb to Trevor Arneaud for the second score of the game. On the ensuing drive, Trey Presley intercepted a pass from Menchville quarterback Tyler Mueller and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown.
Mueller threw an interception on Menchville's next drive, which led to Newsome's 14-yard touchdown pass to Umar Muhammad-Wyatt to give Hampton a 29-0 lead.
Daquin Moore intercepted Mueller on the Monarchs' next possession and took the ball 38 yards to the end zone to put Hampton up 36-0 at halftime.
Hampton scored twice in the third quarter: a 12-yard touchdown pass to Muhammad-Wyatt and then a 9-yard run by Roscoe Hale. The Crabbers scored twice in the fourth, on a 28-yard run by backup quarterback Joe Addison and a 72-yard run by Hale.
Hale finished with a game-high 111 yards on four carries. Newsome had 116 yards passing and three touchdowns through the air. The Crabbers' defense picked off Mueller five times.
This marks the largest margin of victory for the Crabbers this season, and it is the fifth game in a row they scored 40 or more points.
First quarter
Ham - Williams 25 run (Lomax kick)
Second quarter
Ham – Arneaud 66 pass from Newsome (Newsome run)
Ham – Presley 25 interception return (Lomax kick)
Ham – Muhammad-Wyatt 14 pass from Newsome (Lomax kick)
Ham – Moore 38 interception return (Lomax kick)

PHOENIX, AZ – In a Wild West shootout staged at Phoenix's Chase Stadium, Rutgers (7-5) fell just short of the program's first bowl victory, losing to Arizona State (7-5) 45-40 at the Insight Bowl Dec. 27.
Rutgers, playing in its second-ever bowl game, and its first since the 1978 Garden State Bowl at Giants Stadium, struck immediately with an eight-play, 80-yard drive after receiving the opening kickoff. Brian Leonard (Gouverneur, NY) ripped off an 11-yard run through a hole on the left side, followed by an 11-yard completion from Ryan Hart (Coral Springs, FL) to Tres Moses (Delray Beach, FL) and a 16-yard scamper by Ray Rice (New Rochelle, NY) on a sweep left. Willie Foster's (Miami, FL) reverse for seven yards kept the Sun Devils off balance, and the Scarlet Knight line did an excellent job of protecting Hart, giving him ample time to find Moses down field for a 21-yard completion, pushing RU to the Arizona State 14-yard line. After Rice probed the left side of the line for a yard, Hart hooked up with Leonard for a 12-yard completion up the right sideline, and then Hart found Clark Harris (Manahahwkin, NJ) in the back right corner of the end zone from one yard out. Jeremy Ito's (Redlands, NJ) extra point gave the Scarlet Knights a 7-0 lead 2:08 into the contest.
Arizona State would answer with a seven-play, 80-yard drive of its own, capped by a 43-yard completion from Rudy Carpenter to Matt Miller, evening the scoreboard at 7-7 with 10:09 remaining in the first quarter.
Foster's 22-yard return of the ensuing kickoff set up Rutgers for its next scoring drive. Leonard turned a Hart screen into a 38-yard gain, and following a Rice five-yard burst, Leonard again took a Hart screen pass and dashed up the left sideline, scoring from 31 yards out to give Rutgers a 14-7 cushion six minutes into the period.
During the Sun Devils' next possession, Courtney Greene (New Rochelle, NY) jarred the ball loose from the ASU ball carrier at midfield and Ramel Meekins (Westwood, NJ) pounced on it, giving the Scarlet Knights possession at the Arizona State 46-yard line. Hart connected with Harris for a 23-yard completion, and Leonard fought through tackles for 13 yards over the left side, setting up a 25-yard field goal by Ito and a 17-7 lead with 5:22 to play in the opening stanza.
The two teams traded punts to finish the first quarter. Rutgers started its first drive of the second at its own seven-yard line and worked its way into ASU territory, but a fumble gave the Sun Devils the ball on their own 45-yard line. Staring at a fourth-and-five, Derrick Roberson (Oakland Park, FL) seemingly ended the Arizona State drive with a nifty interception along the left sideline, but the play was wiped away by a penalty. A 19-yard completion on the very next play helped move the Sun Devils to the Rutgers five, but on a third-and-goal Devraun Thompson (Piscataway, NJ) pressured Carpenter into an incomplete pass, forcing a 20-yard field goal by Jesse Ainsworth (17-10, 6:20).
Rutgers pushed its advantage back to two touchdowns thanks to a nine-play, 80-yard drive during its next possession. Rice gobbled up 24 yards on four carries, Moses caught a 16-yard toss from Hart on a crossing route and Rice broke a tackle to turn a short Hart pass into a 26-yard gain up the middle, placing the Scarlet Knights inside the 20. Leonard then went to work, cutting back across the grain for a 12-yard gain, and bulling his way in from the three-yard line for his second touchdown of the game (24-10, 2:29).
Arizona State found the end zone one last time before the break, a one-yard completion from Carpenter to Zach Miller, pulling the Sun Devils back to within seven points at 24-17 just 39 seconds before the intermission.
The Sun Devils received the opening kick of the second half and went for 70 yards in six plays, culminating in a one-yard touchdown by Rudy Burgess to even the score (24-24, 13:16) for the first time since five minutes into the contest.
Rutgers answered with a 23-yard field goal at the 6:53 mark, thanks in large part to completions by Hart to Leonard (17-yard screen pass) and Harris (25 yards), to give RU a 27-24 edge midway through the third quarter. But, that lead was short lived, as ASU's Carpenter found Terry Richardson for a 22-yard touchdown and a 31-27 bulge (4:33).
Ito boomed a 52-yard field goal, a career best for him as well as an Insight Bowl record, to make it a one-point game (31-30) with 2:05 to play in the third.
Arizona State drove nearly 50 yards on its next possession to inside the RU 40, but on third-and-one Carpenter looked to pass and Ryan Neill (Wayne, NJ) knocked the ball out of his hand. Meekins fell on it for his second fumble recovery of the game, stopping the ASU drive cold. Ito blasted his fourth field goal of the game from 48 yards out, pushing Rutgers ahead 33-31 2:02 into the final period.
Later on second-and-25, Carpenter found Jamaal Lewis for a 42-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion made it a six-point affair (39-33, 10:00). Rutgers was unable to produce any points during its next possession, and ASU extended its lead while using a precious 4:25 of the clock during its next drive, finishing with a Burgess four-yard run and a failed two-point conversion (45-33, 4:26).
But the Scarlet Knights continued to fight, and in 51 seconds engineered a 63-yard scoring drive, capped by a 29-yard strike from Hart to Moses (45-40, 2:00).
RU was playing in just its second bowl game, but was facing a familiar opponent in the Sun Devils. In the Scarlet Knights' only previous appearance, RU fell to Arizona State 34-18 at the 1978 Garden State Bowl. During that game, Rutgers attempted a late onside kick while trailing 28-18, and the Scarlet Knights recovered the ball in the endzone, only to have the play called back because the kicker was ruled offsides. This time, ASU fell on the squib kick, and an offsides call against the Knights was declined as the Sun Devils milked the final two minutes off the clock.
Hart completed 24 of 38 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns. Rice rumbled 20 times for 108 yards, while Leonard collected 98 yards on six catches and 46 yards on 10 carries. Moses caught seven balls for 113 yards, while Joe Radigan (Hoboken, NJ) averaged 50.3 yards on three punts and Ito was 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts.
Greene and Thompson each registered 12 tackles for the Scarlet Knight defense. Greene also added a forced fumble and two passes broken up. Ron Girault (Spring Valley, NY) hadp 11 stops, and Meekins added five tackles to his two fumble recoveries.
Rutgers finished the season with a 7-5 overall record, its best mark since the 1992 campaign (7-4).
The 1,211 combined yards by Rutgers (532) and Arizona State (679) at the Insight Bowl are an NCAA bowl-game record. The previous record was 1,158 yards by Hawaii and Houston at the 2003 Hawaii Bowl.
Rutgers' 532 yards of total offense vs. Arizona State in the Insight Bowl gave the Scarlet Knights' 4,765 yards for the season, the best mark in school history.

If you were to get in a car and drive southeast for about three hours, you'd arrive at a magical place: the birthplace of one of our nation's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. He came into this world in a log cabin in 1809, and grew up to become the 16th president of the United States, during which he drafted the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves. It was a bloody time in our nation's history: the North and the South turned against each other, fiercely divided on many issues, not least of which was that of slavery. Now, history would have us believe that the issue was one of economics combined with racism... but Timur Bekmambetov and Seth Grahame-Smith have a different story to tell. "However history remembers me before I was a president," said Lincoln, "it shall only remember a fraction of the truth."
That quote won't be found in any of Lincoln's official writings or transcripts of speeches. It comes straight from the film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter [3], which opened last weekend nationwide. The film portrays an alternate vision of Lincoln's life and presidency: vampires exist, and have for millennia. Young Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) learns of their existence when his mother is murdered by the vampire Jack Barts (Marton Csokas). Vowing his vengeance, he is trained by skilled vampire slayer Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper) and begins his career as a vampire hunter, armed with a special silver axe.
Fans of Bekmambetov's films should be quite familiar with his style. His movies are riddled with high-octane action sequences that are ridiculous yet incredibly exciting due to their originality and over-stylization. (His films Wanted [4] and Day Watch [5] have drawn ample comparisons to The Matrix.) Bekmambetov produces pure eye candy, but in a way that is uniquely his; anyone can showcase a series of explosions a la Michael Bay, but I guarantee you have never seen an apocalypse like the one portrayed in Day Watch.
When it comes to action sequences, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter remained consistent with Bekmambetov's usual visual style. Lincoln twirls an axe at high speed like a cheerleader with a baton and uses it to decapitate and dismember the undead with such precision and finesse you wouldn't even guess it only took a single (really awkward) training montage to achieve such skills. It doesn't matter whether he is fighting on the ground or on a speeding train or leaping from horseback to horseback—Lincoln's got it down.
While the actual scenes of vampire slaying provide an exciting and visceral jolt to the viewer, however, the whole debacle quickly devolves into a literally laughable mess of stale acting and trite dialog. Grahame-Smith, who wrote the book upon which the film is based, also penned the screenplay, but he seemed to have zero interest in maintaining a coherent storyline or making his characters interesting. The scenes of dialog and plot development between splattery blood-fests (wonderfully splattery though they were) were seemingly considered to be merely filler to glue together what the filmmakers apparently thought to be the only important aspects of the film: blood and violence. While Bekmambetov's earlier films used this same tactic to some degree, it worked due to either good performances (James McAvoy was just about perfect in Wanted) or a really engaging story (see Night Watch [6] and Day Watch). Clearly not much thought was given to plot in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Benjamin Walker as Lincoln was merely a baby-faced puppet who apparently had trouble even remembering his last name when introducing himself to others.
As a result, things reached a head about halfway through the film, during the climax at the end of the first act (Lincoln is in some trouble in a New Orleans plantation house and gets rescued in the most absurd way imaginable), where my companion and I could not help ourselves any longer and we spent the next five minutes stifling the hysterical peals of laughter which threatened to overcome us and thus disrupt our apparently rapt fellow theater-goers. We never recovered.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a nonsensical mess, and the real-life Lincoln deserves better. Yet I would be remiss if I were not to wholeheartedly endorse the viewing of this film in theaters. There is so much wrong with this film that it really needs to be seen to be believed. And besides, as awful as it is, it's Abraham Lincoln killing vampires with an axe—and while it turns out to be not nearly as cool as it sounds (or looks, based on the trailer), it's still something that the conscientious film geek really can't ignore.

The U.S. Air Force's RQ-4B Global Hawk is among 16 acquisition programs that experienced problems during early testing last year that need to be corrected, according to the Pentagon's Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E).
Radar networks
Northrop Grumman is hoping that funds to re-engine the first two operational E-8C JSTARS radar surveillance aircraft will be provided in the Fiscal 2013 budget next year. The test bed aircraft is now flying with JT8D-219 engines that Northrop Grumman has modified with a new pneumatic system that it claims "vastly improves reliability and the hardware's life cycle." Although the JT8D is hardly new technology, the 17 operational E-8Cs are powered by even older JT3Ds. A $1.7 billion program to replace them was started some years ago, and the test bed first flew with JT8Ds in December 2008.

Shawmari Reserve
The Shawmari Reserve is a breeding centre for some of the most endangered and rare wildlife in the Middle East. In this small reserve there is a large herd of magnificent Arabian Oryx, a species that was once on the verge of extinction. There are also ostriches, onagers and graceful desert gazelles. These animals are all rebuilding their populations in this safe haven, where they are protected from the hunting and habitat destruction that once threatened their existence.
The Shawmari Reserve supports a rich variety of desert plants, mainly because the vegetation inside the reserve is protected from the heavy grazing of sheep and goats outside its perimeters. Shawmari contains a very large number of species of plants, including Atriplex, a natural food source for the Onager and Oryx.
The Reserve offers an ideal camping site for families with kids, and numerous opportunities for fun and bonding with nature.
Visitors Facilities:
The Nature Shop at Shawmari.
Visitors' Centre: Contains a small museum with a variety of interactive materials, slide shows, and videos on the history and wildlife of the Reserve. Outside the Centre is a picnic area and playground.
Observation Tower: Spotting wildlife is an exciting activity for nature lovers. The Observation Tower is an ideal place from which to see the different animals in the Reserve, such as the Oryx, which is best seen in the early hours of the morning. This is also a good place for bird-watching, especially during the migration seasons.
Oryx Safari Trip: Visitors are given the opportunity to take a safari trip to see first-hand the results of the international rescue efforts undertaken to save these endangered animals. Safari tours through the Oryx enclosure are available aboard RSCN vehicles.
Breeding Enclosures: Shawmari's breeding enclosures also provide a small zoo, making the Reserve a popular place for children and school outings.
Shawmari Camp: The camp is located at the east end of the Nature Centre. There are currently 10 tents (accommodating 40 persons per night). Each is equipped with mattresses, pillows and sheets. There are showers and toilets nearby. These facilities are simple but clean. Food and beverage can be provided, if required. The camp is open throughout the year and its facilities are currently being extended.
Shawmari Wildlife
Arabian Oryx.
The ever-increasing range and power of guns and motorized vehicles was the key to the destruction of the Oryx. A hunting party in Oman killed the last known wild Oryx in 1972. Fortunately, ten years previously, the Flora and Fauna Preservation Society and the World Wildlife Fund had launched an international rescue effort known as Operation Oryx. A World Survival Herd was established in the USA, with three animals from Oman, one from the London Zoo, one from Kuwait and four from Saudi Arabia. This herd has increased steadily in numbers, and the RSCN has proposed that the Oryx be introduced into its native habitat in the Arabian Desert.
In 1978 eleven Oryx were brought to Shawmari. Their numbers have now increased to an incredible two hundred. Operation Oryx has been so successful that Jordan now supplies Oryx to other Arabian countries that are conducting reintroduction programmes. In early 2002, a small herd of captive bred Oryx were transported to a special enclosure in Wadi Rum as part of a long-term plan to release them into the wild. This release is the first attempt, after their extinction in Jordan, to re-introduce them to their native habitat.
A herd of Oryx.
The name Oryx derives from a Greek word meaning "pickaxe," which is descriptive of the animal's long pointed horns. These horns are used both for self-defense against predators and for fighting amongst themselves. This usually occurs when the leader of the herd is challenged by a younger male after a year or so of dominance. The younger one usually replaces the old leader in this ever-shifting power struggle.
OstrichThe Ostrich is the world's largest bird - a fabulous, gawky creature that at one time roamed wild across the desert areas of Africa, the Middle East, and South East Asia. Unfortunately, the native Syrian Ostrich is now extinct because of severe, unrestricted hunting.
An Ostrich.
The large size and weight of the Ostrich makes it impossible for it to fly. Instead, it depends on its running speed to escape its predators. It is the fastest creature on two legs, capable of reaching speeds of 60 km/hr in less than 2 seconds!
Ostriches sometimes 'waltz' when they're feeling cheerful. They run in circles with their wings raised, often becoming so dizzy they fall down! This makes the Ostrich especially prone to broken legs.
The common joke about Ostriches burying their heads in the sand has no basis in reality. But it is known to flatten its neck and body on the ground when faced with danger.
GazelleGazelles are small, slender antelopes with a short tail. There were a few Desert Gazelles living alongside the Oryx within the fenced
Reserve. Unfortunately, several have died and others have escaped, leaving only two within the
OnagerThe Onager can be seen in a large captive breeding enclosure at Shawmari. Originally, there were only two Onagers that were donated to the
Reserve by the Montpelier National Park in the south of France. Onagers are adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert, as they are able to go for long periods without water.
Other MammalsOther mammals occasionally seen in Shawmari include the Red Foxes, Caracals, Cape Hares, Jackals and Wild Cats.

Managing notes with Treeline
Mindmaps are useful for organizing ideas and data. Treeline is a promising mindmap tool for KDE.
Treeline [1] is a mind mapping tool that helps users apply order to the chaotic task of data collection. The Python-based Treeline relies on PyQt [2].
Treeline organizes data in a tree structure. Each element (or node) in the tree can contain an arbitrary number of data fields of different types. There is no restriction to the number of nodes. Various sorting functions help users search the data collection. The program focuses on structured management but also provides print and export functions that let users convert their data into a variety of formats.

The number of online scams is huge and growing. The sheer number of scams makes it difficult to catalog them all but there are similarities in the methodologies used by scammers that apply across a broad range of cyber crimes. It is important to recognize these techniques and know how to react when they are being used. Many of the newest scams are not really new, but modified versions of old scams.
1. Payment Forwarding and Processing Scam
Unfortunately, high unemployment and scarce job opportunities have led to a proliferation of scams that take advantage of individuals seeking a way to earn income. There are a number of ways scammers try to take advantage of unsuspecting job seekers.
One scam involves the victim's participation in illegal money laundering activities. Two variations of this scam entice the job applicant to become part of a criminal operation. These are the payment forwarding or processing scam and the postal forwarding or reshipping scam. In both cases, the victim can be contacted by the scammer as a result of a response to an unsolicited e-mail, a resume posting or the victim sending a resume in response to a rebate or payment processing job.
In the payment forwarding or processing scam, the victim is asked to provide bank account information to the scammer (the new employer) or to open a new account using information supplied by the scammer. The scammer deposits money into the account and asks the victim to wire the money (less a commission) to a third account usually outside the country. There is no processing of rebates or payments, just the illegal laundering of money for a small commission.
2. Postal Forwarding and Reshipping Scam
In the postal forwarding and reshipping scam, the victim receives shipment of goods and then reships them to a foreign buyer, in return for a commission. This scam involves shipping products to the victim and then having the victim reship those products to another destination, usually another country. A scammer has likely purchased the products with stolen credit cards or other hijacked funds and the victim merely ships the products to another (usually foreign) address, where they will be fenced. This is obviously an illegal activity.
3. Phishing Expeditions
Many job applicants are anxious to secure employment and cyber criminals are more than willing to exploit that anxiety. Applicants post their resumes on a job site and wait to hear from an interested employer. Unfortunately, not all jobs posted are legitimate and criminals troll some job sites looking for unsuspecting victims. In many cases, the scammer has designed professional looking ads that may include links to what appear to be legitimate company websites.
Not all job sites are the same. Some require verification of recruiters to protect the applicants and have clearly defined privacy policies. Others may be more open and have fewer protections. The posting of bogus ads is often simply a ploy to capture the personal information of the unsuspecting applicant. The simplest trick is to include a link to a bogus site and instruct the applicant to click the link where additional information is requested. Other approaches may be a follow up e-mail from the "employer" offering an attractive sounding job and requesting personal information. Often, the excitement of finding a job after a long and frustrating search may cause the applicant to let down their guard and be taken in by the scammer.
Because of this threat, online job applicants should include only work-related information on the posted resume. After gaining credibility with the applicant, the scammer will try to get the applicant to reveal sensitive personal information such as social security number, date of birth, bank account numbers, and home address. A common rationalization is that the company needs the information because employee paychecks must be direct deposited. The applicant should not disclose this information based on an online job offer.
4. Jobs That Require Paying the Employer
Everyone has heard the expression that you should never pay for a job. Some scammers pose as headhunters or employment agencies that insist that the applicant pay a fee before starting the job. Once the fee is paid, the headhunter and the job disappear. If you want to deal with an employment agency, always thoroughly check them out before making any commitments.
A second type of scam involves trying to trick the applicant into making up front payments for some type of training as part of getting the job. A related scam involves the applicant receiving an advance paycheck for the job that is an overpayment and then the victim is asked to wire the amount of overpayment back to the "employer". Once wired, the cash is gone and the employer's check proves worthless, resulting in the victim's loss of the wired funds.
Be Alert and Use Common Sense
Common sense is the best defense against employment scams. Examine how well the ad is written and if its language, spelling, grammar and sentence structure are up to standard. If not, the originator may be a foreign scammer. Before providing any personal information, think long and hard about why an employer would need the information. Do they really need your social security, bank account and credit card numbers and do you want to give anyone this information until you are 100% sure of their legitimacy?
5. Denial of Service Scam
Denial of service is a new scam that has been reported in certain areas of the country, particularly the northeast. In this scam, the criminal first gains access to personal information through one of the usual phishing methods such as e-mail, social media, careless telephone conversations or malicious software. Once enough information has been gathered, the criminal launches a denial of service attack. This involves using automated dialing programs and multiple accounts to tie up all of the victim's means of communications, including phones.
By incapacitating the victim's communications, the cyber criminal creates a diversion, making it impossible for the bank to verify transactions with the victim. The criminal impersonates the victim either by phone or online and raids the victim's bank, online trading, or other asset management accounts.
6. Official Looking Phishing Scams
One popular scam is to use official looking communications from Government agencies to trick the victim into giving a scammer sensitive personal information. This may include getting e-mails from Medicare or the Treasury Department asking for information to apply for some type of rebate, refund or stimulus check. Official looking communications may come with the IRS logo asking for information so you can get a tax refund, update your file or some other reason.
If you click on a link to these e-mails, you will likely be communicating with a cyber criminal, not an agency of the US Government. If you provide the personal information requested you are setting yourself up to be a cyber crime victim. Keep in mind that these agencies do not send you e-mails and they do not ask for any personal information in any reply to e-mails. If you receive any of these e-mails seeking to get personal information, notify the appropriate authorities.
7. Social Media and Online Dating Scams
Social media scams prey on the sociability of members. Although social media have become a very popular way to keep in contact with friends, relatives, business contacts and former work associates, they also can be a hunting ground for scammers. This risk can be mitigated by limiting the amount of personal information that can be used by scammers on phishing expeditions.
Cyber criminals will hack accounts when possible and use the member's contacts to send out e-mails to their friends asking for money. Often, the rationale for the money request is that the friend is stranded somewhere and they have been robbed. Without their credit cards, passport and cell phones, they have no way to get home. A new scam, often called "grandparent distress", has arisen. In this scam, the grandparent is urgently requested to send money because the grandchild is in desperate need of help because of an accident, medical emergency or some other reason.
Other scams may relate to dating. Often, the victim develops a relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend who may or may not be in another country. After the relationship and emotional attachment develop over time through online and telephone communications, the foreign boyfriend or girlfriend wants to come for a meeting so they can deepen the relationship with an in person meeting. At first, the scammer may not ask for any money for the trip to keep from arousing suspicion. Often, just before the trip the friend needs money for the plane ticket, visa or for some medical emergency and requests the funds. If the ploy works, the money is sent and the friend is never heard from again.
8. Advance/Upfront Payment Trick Scams
The number of advance or upfront payment scams is too numerous to mention. These scams are designed to achieve one goal – trick the victim into making an upfront payment or reveal sensitive personal information in return for a promise of a much larger payment. In addition to the well-known up front payment Nigerian 419 Scam, there are lottery scams, inheritance scams, prize winning scams, real estate and vacation rental scams and many others.
The current real estate market has produced a new scam where the scammer offers to pay an above market price for an advertised property but needs and advance payment for some trumped up reason. A scam commonly called the "mistake scam" involves the scammer issuing a counterfeit check or money order for more than the purchase or rental price and then having the victim reimburse them for the difference with a wire transfer. In the case of the prize-winning scam, the scammer may ask for your bank acct number and PIN to pay for shipping and handling.
Eleven Tips to Reduce the Chances of Being Scammed
Keep all of your virus protections and computer security features up to date.
When you receive an unexpected message on your computer, avoid the temptation to act quickly and take your time and think before reacting.
Online, on the phone and in everyday activities, be aware of the need to keep your personal information protected.
Never respond to unsolicited e-mails asking for verification of personal information even if the request looks like an official communication and has a familiar look and logo. Call the real company and ask them if they sent you a message.
Be alert to the dangers of responding to scary messages imploring you to click on a link for a download to fix a problem with your computer or virus protection.
Never send money or agree to deposit a check from someone you don't really know and then agree to wire money back to them. Once you wire money, it's gone. Do not fall for this well-known scam.
If you receive a job offer online, do the research and make sure the employer is legitimate by thoroughly checking them out with independent third parties.
Limit online resume postings to job related information. Use job sites that require employer verification to view the resume and have privacy policies.
Be diligent in reviewing your bills and financial statements, including statements received in the mail and viewed online.
Use common sense and be very skeptical of any investment recommendation sent to you by e-mail. Remember the popular saying of economists that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Watch out for trick sign ups. Know the originator, you may end up with a difficult to cancel subscription or inadvertently download malicious software on to your computer.
Online Activities Require Vigilance
Modern society depends on online communications taking place in a secure environment. Because online communications have become such an integral part of everyday life, caution must be exercised in using these capabilities to their fullest without allowing the criminal element to take advantage of the situation to exploit unsuspecting users. Every user has to take every precaution to protect themselves and others from the threat of cyber crime.

Lari Pittman, This Expedition, Beloved and Despised, Continues Regardless, 1989. Collection of the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.
This week's Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Lari Pittman. This is one of my very, very favorite Pittmans. It's wonderfully defiant: It asserts the immutability of sexual desire and sexual orientation. Best of all, it does so with a Rauschenbergian smirk: Painting is decorative? Fine. I'll embrace both painting and my sexual orientation by winking at a cliched stereotype: Gay men are decorative decorators. OK, here are some pretty flowers. None of these things are going away, so let's all deal with them. And here, in my painting, we're going to deal with them on my terms. On this week's podcast, Pittman talks eloquently about biography and how it factors into his work. Don't miss it.
One of Pittman's most important paintings, The Veneer of Order (1985) is featured in the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago exhibition "This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s." The thesis of the exhibition, which was curated by Helen Molesworth, is that the political, often confrontational art of the 1980s had its roots in feminist art of the preceding decade. Pittman's painting, and indeed his oeuvre, is a clear example of how feminist discourse and art motivated art in and after the '80s. [Aside: The Yale University Press-published catalogue for the show is fantastic — and it's 40% off here.]

Shirley's Fantastic Show in CT Last Night
Shirley MacLaine presented an incredible one-of-a-kind show last night in Torrington, CT. Fascinating, ENTERTAINING, Humorous, Historical...and Spiritual. What a wonderful show; I am glowing from it, still, this morning! If you can get to a Shirley MacLaine Show anywhere near you: GO! If you love Shirley, show biz, film, and things metaphysical...this is right up your alley. We got to meet Terry, too. I finally got to say hello to Shirley MacLaine. A lifetime dream comes true!
Tess in CT
...And In Schenectady, NY
I agree! I saw her show in Schenectady, the day before the CT show; and she was fabulous! I loved watching her face react, as she watched the movie clips. The retrospective consisted of beautiful pieces from each movie, and a Q&A session afterwards. She'd pause between photo and movie clips, and then explain to us, what had been going on behind the scenes. She was intelligent, entertaining, and completely down to earth. I loved it, loved it, when she talked about UFO's. I could have listened to her forever, withthat subject; having had witnessed two events, myself.
Most of all, I loved Shirley's frankness. When you ask a question, be prepared for an honest answer. It may not be what you want to hear, but it will surely be what you need to hear, and I found that quite refreshing.
Shirley gave us many good snip-its of advice, too. Such as, how to be confident, in who you are; and I took it to heart. I feel that I was meant to be there at that time, to hear that. One piece of her wonderful advice, was to be sure to be centered within yourself; especially, whenever you are having a negative encounter. To know, that when someone approaches you from a place of negativity, it is not your personal truth.
We were also, able to meet the noble Terry, and witnessed the wonderful relationship, between the two of them. As a major animal lover, I really loved that. Terry gave us all a hearty laugh, as she sat on the chair, at the center of the stage, with a spot light cast upon her. She regally surveyed the audience below her, with absolute calm; as if she were the queen, holding court. That is most certainly, a centered dog. I loved her. I think I know why, Shirley is so crazy about Terry. There really is something, about her.
I left Proctor's Theater feeling positive, energetic, motivated, and happy. It was a wonderful evening. Go see her, if you have a chance. You will love it.

Thank you for the wonderful reviews, Tess and Pegan, they are much appreciated! I am at her shows in spirit,and can picture it all in my mind, even Terry basking in the center-stage spot-light! Maybe the powers that be will magically archive a show for us ...
Again, many thanks!
meeting shirley maclaine
Last night My husband and I had the pleasure of seeing Shirley in Torrington, CT from the second row! She came out looking beautiful in black slacks and a black and white printed top. Right from the start, she was so charming and funny, she had the audience eating out of the palm of her hand. A couple of times she said, "what is said in this theatre, stays in this theatre", so I can't tell you everything, haha.
She did a retrospective of her life and career with a slide show and movie clips. Then when she was ready for the question part of the show, Terry came running out and jumped in her chair. My husband Pat got up to ask a question. We had an original playbill from 1954 when Shirley was understudy for Carol Haney in "Pajama Game." This is when she got her big break. Anyway, Pat asked her is she would sign the playbill. She seemed excited that we had it and when she took it from him, pretended to walk off the stage with it! She did sign it for us. Pat then asked if he could pet Terry. Shirley tried calling her over but she wouldn't come. BUT, when she was saying goodnight, she started on the opposite end of the stage from us--we had walked right up to the stage by now. Pat called Terry over and she came running right to us! We petted her and she was licking Pat's hand-a really sweet dog! When Shirley got to our side, she shook Pat's hand.
As if this wasn't enough, they were selling books in the lobby and Shirley would be signing them. Well, I have all of her books but so what? I bought Sageing While Agineg to have her sign. There must have been about 200 people with books to sign, so she didn't do a lot of chitchat. But I was thrilled to see her sitting there with a glass of red wine and got my book signed! By the way, she mentioned she is starting a new book! Something to look forward to.
I wish all of you could have been there for this fabulous evening with this beautiful legend. I know you would have loved it as much as I did!
I agree Tess, it was a wonderful ad fascinating event. It is a must see for any fan. A lot of love, light and laughter. What more can you ask for? I would say more but we were sworn to secrecy. Folks will have to hear if for themselves.
Peace & Love,
When are you coming to Ft. Worth, Shirley? That would be great.

Thanks for the additions, Joanne & Skip! Each tid bit adds more color to the evening's tale. How tantalizing: "what is said in his theatre, stays in this theatre..." Filling in the gaps is enough to make one's imagination work over-time, lol.
Great news to hear Shirley's starting a new book!! YEA!!!
I would also like to share here that I just saw my first UFO a couple of months ago! So, when Shirley talked about UFOs in her show, I had an entirely new perspective. First Hand! I was driving in my own hometown here in CT and I saw them. It was of the Bright Orange Light, flying in synchronized timing and pattern and Completely Silent variety.
I drove toward it until I was closer and got out of my car. Another car came up right behind me and also pulled over, and a man got out of his car. He saw me staring straight up at the sky and he exclaimed, "What is that!??" Thank you for sending a witness, I thought. Otherwise I would think it was me seeing things. This man and I stood all alone for about 3 to 4 minutes just watching. (But NOT ALONE at all... ) The main formation of Orange Lights hovered motionless in the sky. Silent. It seemed to be huge. The lights were perfectly spaced and it just hung there. No sounds. Then it moved forward, seemingly slowing at first, the speeded up...and flew off. THEN: Immediately behind it flew in perfect timed sequence a series of about 6, One Orange Light (craft?) flew by. The single orange lights flew one at a time, perfectly timed and sequenced and followed in the exact same direction of the major craft that had about 7 or 8 orange lights on it. Orange Lights: bright shining orange fire globes. As each single Orange Light flew fast silently, it would just disappear in the night sky. About 6 of the Single Orange Lights flew behind, but in the same direction, as the major craft.
The man and I just stood there watching silently.
I found out that he went home and called the police and the paper, because the paper put the "news" in its blog as a "someone witnessed" item. But the paper did not follow up any story on a UFO sighting. And the local police department claimed ignorance of the event. Even though the Orange Lights were hoving right over the vicinity of the police department! The police "tried" to say that it was "chinese lanterns" being lit by a local church group. Those were NO Chinese lanterns that high in the sky!
I was really freaked out for about a week after because I live alone in the woods and I am capable of being spooked by these things. UNLIKE Shirley, I do NOT want to be taken up in a craft for a Look-See.
But I have had a UFO sighting event.
Congratulations Tess. Don't be spooked - if they wanted to destroy us they would have, right? I'm glad you enjoyed the show.
Deb, my film life is taking most of the time now. I don't know when I can get back to TX.
Thank you Skip.
Thank you Patswife.
Thank you Photo51.
Sisterlura we haven't filmed any yet. Hopefully in the future.
Love & Light,
Shirley & Terry & Buddy Bub & Trixie Harmony
Good Lord! I see a UFO, AND Shirley MacLaine comments on it! Two out of this world experiences. (good point Ms. Mac, that if they had wanted to harm us they would have done it by now. But I still don't want them showing up on my front lawn!)
