Rolf Kanesky is becoming the most interesting director working in low
budget horror. Lord knows there are enough terrible hand-held efforts
clogging up the rental shelves, although it's cool that people are
getting out there and trying. Anyhow, Rolf seems to have a much lower
budget on this one than on The Hazing, be he economises well and the
make up and effects are good and it works to the films benefit that
they are sparingly used until the climax.
Story concerns an unstable young woman who uses a wacko ancient fertility mask to try and improve her sex life with her husband only to end up having horrific visions of a spirit contained within the mask. The demon seems to come to life while she's stranded in the woods on a ill-fated road trip and ends up running for her life. In to the the mix is Kanefsky regular Tiffany Shepis and her gang of buddies hanging out in a remote cottage. They have their own complicated relationship issues. Shepis is a good actress who seems naturally uninhibited and doesn't look down upon B-movie roles and just has fun with it. She's great here, and has a sexy tough and funny role. Sure, there's nudity and gore, but who would want to see her as, say, Ashton Kutchers girl in a sucky comedy. The rest of cast are variable with the lead actress overplaying at times but improving as the film goes on and her responses look more appropriate.
I digress, sorry, violence and weirdness abound as the "nightmare man " descends upon the cottage, and the newly arrived guest ain't feeling herself. Some odd, surprising twists happen before the climax. Think the The Mask meets The Exorcist and you're there. Kind of..
I was lucky enough to have caught this on The Horror Channel and it's one of their best recent acquisitions. I'm not saying Nightare Man is a stone-cold classic but it is a gem and well executed considering the low budget and resources. I do feel this director will improve with each movie. Kanfesky knows how to be ambitious whilst giving the horror fans what they want.
This was a really bad movie. Not parts of it, but the whole damn thing. What was this director thinking? The acting was so bad you can't even imagine. There were no emotions at all. The actors were responding the same way to whatever the director throws at them! They were in this film not for their acting skills but because they looked good in front of the camera! As for the script ... What script? Is there a script really? Were the actors allowed to make up the lines as the movie went on? Because their lines were so bad and corny that they had to be improvised! I don't understand how some people were able to laugh with this thing, I wasn't able to bring myself to do that.
Not that I am saying this movie was all bad, but that was the highlight and if the sexy talk is the highlight of a horror movie then it is not much of a horror film in the end. The story has this woman who seems to be having a bit of trouble on the marital front. Her solution to the problems seems to be to order some love god mask, they instead seem to send her the evil demon love god mask and throughout the movie you wander if this manifest ion is real or not. She is being driven to the mental institution by her husband they break down and she is seemingly stalked and attacked by this person or thing while her husband is getting gas. Meanwhile, somewhere in the woods there is a house with two couples. Two very cute girls who are friends and their boyfriends. They play truth or dare and then the crazy...or not, girl ends up in their care. Well lets just say there is somebody out there trying to get at her as he quickly steals a crossbow and handles the one guy while he is being mooned. However, you still don't know if it is the mysterious nightmare man the girl goes on about or something else. The husband is heading for the cabin though and soon afterward so are the police. This movie had potential as do most horror movies and like so many they just miss some stuff. On the plus side you get to see a couple of good kills, some good nudity, and the end was rather good too. However, I was kind of hoping for something more in the lines of say an Evil Dead movie rather than a typical slasher film with a twist here and there. So far out of the three Afterdark movies in this new batch this is the strongest, sadly though compared to the last batch this one would be tied with Penny Dreadful as the weakest in my eyes.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Nightmare Man starts as Bill (Luciano Szafir) is driving his wife Ellen
(Blythe Metz) cross country to a mental institute, apparently Ellen
thinks she's possessed by some sort of demon from an Afican tribal wood
carved face mask, obviously she isn't & that's why she's on her way to
a loony bin. However en-route the car runs out of petrol in the middle
of nowhere, Bill sets off on foot to find a petrol station while Ellen
stays behind in the car. It turns out though Ellen may not be as mad as
originally anticipated as the Nightmare Man (Aaron Sherry) becomes a
living reality that wants to kill her, she runs away into some wood
where she stumbles upon a log cabin with four friends inside who all
become potential victims for the Nightmare Man...
Written, produced & directed by Rolfe Kanefsky this low budget teen slasher isn't quite as bad as I had feared & isn't too bad if you have low enough expectations. The script obviously takes it inspiration from the self conscious Scream (1996) & it's imitators, this is a basic teen slasher & to be honest it doesn't really try to be anything else. Sure there are a couple of average twists in the story to liven things up a bit but at heart this is just a slasher. To be positive at least it moves along at a nice enough pace, there might have been a couple more murders but I wasn't bored with it, the character's are actually a lot better than I thought with reasonable decision making like actively trying to stick together & deciding not to go out in the woods alone or split up which is a nice change & generally speaking I thought it was a painless if undemanding & forgettable enough way to pass 90 odd minutes. The other thing that I liked about this film is Tiffany Shepis who I have seen in several other low budget horror films but didn't particularly know her in the sense if I saw a picture of her I wouldn't recognise her, here though she's probably the best thing about Nightmare Man as she runs around in her extremely mini skirt & boots holding a huge hunting rifle spouting mildly amusing one-liners, hey I'm easily pleased OK?
Director Kanefsky does alright on a low budget but it's not stylish & it all rather flat & bland. I've just realised that I've seen every horror film Kanefsky has directed to this point (lucky me, not), The Hazing (2004) which is pretty good, Corpses (2004) which is not so good, Jacqueline Hyde (2006) which is terrible & this which is OK. There's no scares, the twists aren't entirely successful or surprising, there's not much tension & no atmosphere but nothings perfect I suppose. Horror fans will also be able to spot the blatant The Evil Dead (1982) homage. There's not much gore here, an arrow fired into someones mouth, a knife stuck under someones chin & a bit of blood splatter & not much else.
Withn a supposed budget of about $250,000 this is as well made as you could expect, it's certainly glossier & nicer looking than many low budget straight-to-video/DVD horror film crap that's out there. As I said Tiffany Shepis is the best thing about Nightmare Man, she's a really hot looking chick with a great body & she actually gives a decent performance here which I'm sure no one was expecting to hear. The rest of the cast do OK & all of the girls find themselves in some degree of undress at one point or another.
Nightmare Man isn't anything particularly special, in fact it's nothing more than OK but even that's still a hell of a lot better than I was expecting. Worth a watch for horror fans who have to see everything & anything but other more casual viewers out there may not be that impressed.
I have been looking forward to Nightmare Man ever since June of 2006,
when I had the opportunity to meet Tiffany Shepis at Flashback Weekend
in Chicago. She was honestly excited about it, and I found her
enthusiasm infectious enough to check out this movie as one of the 8
Films to Die For.
She was right. I really enjoyed this movie. That is not to say that it is, well, really good. At it's core, this film is your classic "boobs and blood" b-movie. You have to go in accepting this. The script is flimsy at times, the dialog is openly bad at times, the characters act accordingly most of the time (few moments you'll ask yourself "is that REALLY the most reasonable reaction" but those moments are uncommon) but overall...I really liked it. What really makes the movie work is Kanefsky's ability to put the viewer in the scene. I haven't seen many films that capture the surroundings better than this one does. The scene at the edge of the road is phenomenal. I can tell you where every tree is in relation to the car. I could feel how far it was from the trunk of the car to the trunk of the really big tree off the rear passenger window. And I knew there wasn't much room for Ellen to move if (when) she needed to. The suspense created is fantastic, and that alone carries this movie. I will be seeking out Kanefsky's other films for that alone.
The acting is much better than I expected, Blythe Metz is a bit inconsistent, but when she's on she's really good. Tiffany Shepis does a good job, but the writing for her character is...confusing at best. Her reactions are not what you might expect to the events that unfold around her. Of the women in the movie, Hanna Putnam puts in the best performance, I hope to see her get some roles with more exposure. The male actors are not as impressive as this is really a movie that highlights the women for more than the obvious reasons. James Ferris is the best of the male actors, but I did like Jack Sway as Ed and Luciano Szafir with the exception of his accent getting in the way a little.
Overall, I do recommend this movie for those that like low-budget horror. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I hope you do to.
this was a pretty decent little low budget horror flick,, reminds you of the b movies of the 70's and 80's. a woman convinced by her husband is going to be checked into a mental hospital for her visions of the Nightmare Man.. she gets a mask from Rome, apparently she thinks it's the wrong mask and wants to ship it off the next morning,, apparently she think that this mask is supposed to be like a fertility drug or something,, something to help her husband get it up.. the car breaks down , husband leaves to get gas, doesn't return,, this is where the fun starts,, Nightmare Man comes after her, and she manager to get to a cabin with a bunch of other people who have their own little issues. that's as far as i wanna go with what happens in the movie.. Tiffany Schepis is by far the freshest newest hottie in town,, she ought be in a lot more movies,, she can act.. and her eye candy is unbelievable. this is a pretty decent film for such a low budget..
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
After ordering an African mask (from Italy?) that promises increased
fertility, Ellen (Blythe Metz) begins to experience demonic visions of
a 'Nightmare Man' attacking her. To help rid her of these horrible
visions, Ellen's flaccid husband, William (Luciano Szafir), takes her
to a health clinic. En route, the couple's car breaks down and Ellen is
attacked by the Nightmare Man yet again. Fleeing, she takes shelter in
a lone cabin with a group of strangers. The unstoppable Nightmare Man,
however, continues his attack on the group of Ellen's protectors.
The batch in After Dark Horrorfest 2006 was a disappointment and I heard the same about this 2007's as well. Regardless of my disappointment in them, however, the films always did have a couple things going for them: they're original (mostly) and they have cool one-sheets. Other than a rare couple, I haven't seen any of the fest-horrors that I'd consider to be of any quality. Nightmare Man looked promising. . . again, creative story and a cool poster. Unfortunately, the actual film fell flat due to extremely poor execution by writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky. It wasn't COMPLETELY bad: The Nightmare Man was pretty cool-looking, even though he looked like Howie Mandel in Little Monsters ("Got 'em, got 'em, need 'em, got 'em"). And, again, the story was interesting. There were a few scenes of some very good tension & suspense. Also, a bit of gore & violence helped it along, though the gore wasn't very well done. The dialogue was in a league of its own of horrible and it was made even worse by some terrible performances by the leads (I understand and advocate the hiring of international actors, but c'mon, I could barely understand the husband). The script was jammed with clichés. Over the course of a two-minute period: The arguing couple's car runs out of gas, she accuses him, the phone gets no reception, no cars on the road for 'eighty miles,' 'Oh wait! I saw a gas station sign!,' the husband leaves the wife alone in the dark in the middle of the woods, etc. Yikes! I thought my head would explode out of lack of creativity there. The predictability of the ending is pathetic and, in an attempt to eliminate the predictability, gets even MORE predictable and downright stupid. And, it all comes together to make an ultimately crappy modern horror film.
Final verdict: 3/10. PASS!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The quick and dirty version of this movie without any spoilers - it changes the type of movie it's trying to be too many times! The problem with movies that do that is they don't do any one right. Good slashers stick with something - suspense, believability, etc. and run with it. The five is because it does entertain the viewer, but the acting is average and the movie does not give you something to think about after the credits role. Bottom line for those deciding whether or not to watch this movie - if you're hinging an evening on this flick, skip it. If it's a rainy day and there is quite nothing else to do, crack open that bottle of cognac and half of your attention will suffice to get the full value of this one.
Wow, this movie was downright bad. From the acting to the score to the
screenplay to the direction, just downright bad. I think the writer
didn't realize that fertility deals with procreation, not libido.
The biggest problem with this movie is apparent from the get-go. Generally in movies you pull for a hero, whether them likely or not. Films have protagonists and the audience is supposed to like or care for them depending on the context. In order for this film to work, we have to truly care for the well-being and safety of said protagonist. The character is terribly written; she's whiny, bitchy, and full of inconsistency. The actress makes it worse. She's just terrible. Literally unbelievably bad.
The plot is weak, and the "twist" is seen miles away. Very obvious, yet it doesn't make much sense.
The minor characters are fluff at best, and the "being" is hilarious. It isn't one of those, "so bad it's good" things, you actually find yourself forcing laughter at just how terrible this is.
The score reminds me of shaking uncontrollably in a cold sweat. It's uncomfortable, annoying and headache-inducing.
All in all, this movie is only worth a viewing if you're attempting to show someone how NOT to make a film. You could point out plot, screenplay, direction, cinematography, acting, characters, score, visuals, et cetera.
There are times we are all tempted to watch something so horrible, we get chuckles. This is NOT that film. Just stay away if you know what's good for you.

Ellen(Blythe Metz)is having some major problems. She cries out to her
husband, William(Luciano Szafir)that a "Nightmare Man", this type of
evil(..or perhaps even a demonic force)within her that won't cease
since receiving a hideous tribal mask(..she was supposed to get a "god
of fertility" mask, but was sent the wrong one)in the mail. Their
marriage is troubled due to her "intimacy issues"(..among others
things:secrets that will come out at the end)and William is having her
committed to a hospital to correct her supposed paranoid schizophrenia.
On the way to that hospital, their car runs out of gas, William tells
Ellen to stay in the car as he goes after some more, and she is
"confronted" by the Nightmare man. Running for her life in the woods,
as he attacks her periodically, Ellen finds a cabin housing a group of
people. The owner of the cabin, Mia(sexpot Tiffany Shepis)is having a
"marriage celebration" for her friend Trinity(Hanna Putnam) and
soon-to-be husband Jack(James Ferris). Also present is Mia's young
boyfriend Ed(Jack Sway, who looks all but 18). The film alternates
between a revealing game of "Erotic Truth or Dare" with the cabin gang
and poor Ellen fending off the Nightmare man as he playfully exposes
his knife to her. Ellen will lose her medication(pills which were
supposed to keep the Nightmare man at bay)and fight her way to the
cabin, in tattered clothes and torn psyche. The middle portion of the
film has Mia, Trinity, Jack & Ed trying to cope with a mentally
tortured Ellen, talking out of her mind about an evil trying to "get
in" and "take over" her body. Ellen claims that without her pills, the
evil will take control over her body. The final portion of the film
REALLY gets wacky as we find out who the REAL Nightmare man is, veering
into "Night of the Demons" territory.
The film is a bit this and a bit that:psychological thriller(Is Ellen crazy?Is there truth to what she is saying?), slasher flick(the Nightmare man outside the cabin picking off members inside one by one when he gets a chance), and demonic horror comedy(..when the evil takes control and runs rampant). I think if you get a group of kids or adults together with some beer and chips, "Nightmare Man" might be an entertaining ride. I didn't find an original bone in it's body, but I couldn't claim, with a straight face anyway, that I wasn't enjoying myself a bit. The first part of the film singularly focuses on Ellen, in a car terrified at out her wits, as she hears noises and the viewer sees a masked man running outside..we are part of this nightmare, whether it be real or imagined. It loses control at the end, with rifle-toting Shepis, in a bonafide star vehicle(..tossing quips like this Millennium's Linnea Quigley), not knowing what she is facing not only outside her cabin but inside with Ellen all schizoid and babbling about evil. I enjoyed the revelation of Mia and Trinity's lesbian tryst in college(..how it is delicately mentioned between the two and finally revealed to Jack)..if only we were treated to a little of that action(..sigh, which would not be the case). The gore is of the low-budget variety and the acting is hit-or-miss. Shepis, shows the goods, of course, never failing to disappoint... how this movie finds ways to exploit Shepis' willingness to do such things include the taunting of a striptease, how her top is supernaturally removed, and when her boyfriend gets an arrow shot through his mouth as it was open while she removes her panties exposing her bum to him. Richard Moll(Bull of Night Court fame)shows up in a cameo as the area sheriff. I thought the mask and demonic make-up was cool.

Canadians Want Focus on Economy Not Vote, Harper Says
Canadians want the government to focus on the economic recovery and not a possible election, said Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
An election is "not what Canadians want," said Harper, whose government holds a minority of seats in Parliament and needs opposition support to remain in power. "Canadians want us to continue to focus on governing and especially, colleagues, they want us to focus on the economy."
An EKOS Research Associates poll today showed Harper's Conservatives, also known as Tories, falling into a statistical tie with the main opposition Liberals amid controversy over the government's decision to eliminate a mandatory census.
Harper, speaking to lawmakers from his party in Ottawa, also highlighted the government's attempts to fight crime. By pledging to strengthen the economic recovery and help police, Harper is seeking to shift attention to what voters consider the government's strong points, said Paul Adams, a professor of journalism and communications at Carleton University in Ottawa.
"You can see them now trying to build another narrative and move the census off the front pages," Adams said.
Harper said there have been renewed threats from the opposition about an election. Conservative lawmakers are meeting this week in Ottawa to discuss policy issues as part of summer meetings. Parliament is in recess.
Attractive Dollar
Canada's dollar today climbed to the highest level since May versus its U.S. counterpart on an improving growth outlook. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters separately today the country's strong economic "fundamentals" support demand for the country's assets, adding it's no "surprise" the currency has become more attractive.
The Canadian currency rose as much as 0.7 percent to C$1.0108 per U.S. dollar, the strongest since May 4, before trading at C$1.0161 at 1:46 p.m. in Toronto, compared with C$1.0181 yesterday. One Canadian dollar buys 98.43 U.S. cents.
The Conservatives had the support of 29.7 percent of voters, versus 28.5 percent for the opposition Liberal Party, according to a poll released today by Ekos. The Conservatives held an 11-point lead in mid-July, Ekos said.
The poll of 1,516 voters was taken between July 28 and Aug. 3, and has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
The government has said Canada's next census, to be taken in May, won't include a mandatory long-form questionnaire such as the one that had previously been sent to a fifth of households. Instead, Statistics Canada will send a voluntary form covering most of the same topics as the previous form as part of a new National Household Survey.
The move prompted the resignation of Canada's chief statistician, Munir Sheikh, and is opposed by all three of Canada's opposition parties. Government officials, including Industry Minister Tony Clement, have said the government is making the change because Canadians shouldn't face jail time or fines if they choose not to fill out the census.

Dairy Farmers Cling to the Land They Love | Holding On
I wonder what we really lose when we lose our farms, and what we've lost already. The talk seems to be of money, of how these farms are worth more than the value of their products for the sheer economic activity they generate. Tourists, milk-truck drivers, tractor salesmen, auctioneers–all are tangential benefactors of the agricultural landscape. Vermont has even determined how much all these parts are worth: $14,000 per cow.
I don't dispute those numbers. But to me, they ignore a deeper, intrinsic value that can't be measured in dollars alone–or even at all. It's the value of my young boys' gathering around Melvin and Matt's bale wrapper on a cloudless June afternoon to watch them put up the winter's hay. It's Matt pausing to explain how the wrapper works. It's passing any one of the many farms in Cabot–the Ackermans', the Steckers', the Bothfelds', the Paquins'–and seeing the cows, some bent to the grass, some loafing in the shade of a fenceline maple. It's a reminder of the inescapable connection between our land and our food, between us and what sustains us.
There's a feeling of inevitability surrounding the future of Vermont's dairy industry. Many of the loans that carried any number of farmers through the past two seasons have gone unpaid, and additional credit will be hard to come by. The state's Agency of Agriculture has predicted that as many as 200 more farms could go under by the end of this year. Even if it's half that number, 2010 will have turned out to be one tough year.
Melvin Churchill, buffered from the worst of the downturn by his organic status and the fact that his farm is paid off, acknowledges this truth. "Realistically, it won't be a farm forever," he said, when I asked him about the future of his place. At some point, he and Matt might move onto a bigger farm, or they might move on from farming altogether. At some point, my boys probably won't watch them hay anymore, either because my boys no longer care or because Melvin and Matt are no longer haying.
There are times when I consider the implications of that and wonder whether sometime soon the barns and pastures of my hometown will be not unlike the petroglyphs that Churchill saw in Utah: artifacts … history … the remains of a particular way of life and the people who lived it.
Maybe so; probably so. But for now, I take some comfort in the fact that I can walk over the hill, across the Churchills' pasture, among their big, gentle cows. For another summer, at least, my boys will spend hours at the edge of the hayfield above our house, watching Melvin and Matt mow and rake and bale. This year, and likely for a few more, I'll drive the back roads of Cabot, past the town's remaining farms. I'll see people I know doing work they love for wages they can barely afford, and I'll be reminded that the value of a particular task should not always be best measured by the money it will bring. When I get home, I'll try to explain that to my boys. And I'll hope, more than anything, that they'll understand.

By Article and Photos by Staff Sgt. Michael J. Dator, 85th Civil Affairs Brigade Public AffairsFebruary 16, 2012
FORT HOOD, Texas -- A team consisting of six Soldiers assigned to the 85th Civil Affairs Brigade competed in the 2012 Fort Hood Combatives Championship preliminaries held Feb. 13-16 at the Abrams Physical Fitness Center on base.
The "Warrior Diplomats" participated in a round-robin style event that tested the limits of their ground fighting and grappling abilities. With only a few weeks to prepare for the event, the team members endured the trials and tribulations of competitive fighting while learning that there are some things more important than winning.
"In order to prepare for an event like this, we had to spend countless amount of hours training early in the morning at the Kieschnick Physical Fitness Center on base," said Spc. Kyle B. Reemts, a radio and telephone operator assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 85th CA Bde. "The hardest aspect of it is just getting through all of the aches and pains of physical training -- once you get past that part, it's just a matter of asking yourself: "How far do you want to go?""
In addition to physical conditioning, the team members also had to hone their mental skills to help them face the challenges of hand-to-hand combat.
"I'm new to the sport, but I quickly learned that a lot of MMA fighting is a mind game," said Staff Sgt. Carlos O. Padilla, a civil affairs noncommissioned officer assigned to HHC, 85th CA Bde. "You have to always have a positive outlook; you have to try to keep yourself motivated; otherwise your fight is over before it begins."
Most of the team members had little or no mixed-martial arts experience going into the event. It was their lack of time on the mat that proved to be their down fall. Each member of the team was defeated by more seasoned fighters as the event progressed. Although the team did not win the tournament, it was the time spent with each other that made the experience worthwhile.
"At the beginning of our training, I really didn't know any of the other members," said Sgt. 1st Class Jonathan D. Galindo, a civil affairs team sergeant assigned to Alpha Company, 81st Civil Affairs Battalion, 85th CA Bde. "We grew closer and learned more about each other -- the camaraderie that we built will help in the daily work environment; we've already been through some tough times together so we know we can count on each other in the future."
Mixed martial arts continue to grow as a sport and Army combatives has become a normal part of a Soldiers training regimen. Fort Hood has become a hotbed for MMA action, winning the last two All-Army combatives competitions. During the opening ceremony of the 2012 preliminary matches, Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr., commander of III Corps and Fort Hood said that Army combatives exemplifies both the Warrior Ethos as well as the Army values. "You are all here to represent your units; you are all fighting to represent Fort Hood so we can be the three-time all Army champion in July," he said.
The final matchups for the 2012 Fort Hood Combatives Tournament are scheduled for Thursday, starting at 6 p.m. at the Abrams Physical Fitness Center on base.

There are a few tournaments that the poker world absolutely loves to watch, and one of them is the World Series of Poker $5,000 pot-limit Omaha with rebuys. It's a who's who of poker, and many are willing to spend more than you and I make in a year during the rebuy frenzy. After three days of play, BLUFF columnist Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond captured his coveted first WSOP bracelet in a very tough field. We sat down with Phil and he was kind enough to talk us through his big win.
Day 1 -- Getting in Cheap
I had been really looking forward to this event in particular. This was almost the perfect event for me. First of all, the field was very small. Second, I have so much more Omaha experience than the field on average, and third, I could afford to fire as many barrels (rebuys) into the tournament as possible.
I had about $100,000 in my pocket that I was ready to use, but if I ran out of that I would have been able to get more cash if needed, as I had plenty of friends around. I was sure that with every rebuy I was positive-EV (Expected Value), so I was prepared to do as much as needed. Now, that doesn't mean I was trying to get my money in bad. I avoided being a 65-35 underdog, and I even tried to avoid 60-40 spots. However, if I could get my money in as a slight underdog of about 45 percent or as a favorite, I would obviously take the gamble in order to build my stack. I only ended up spending $25,000, which was almost the bare minimum, considering I did the double buy-in as well as the double add-on at the break.
I was lucky and ended up winning most of my flips during the rebuy period. I was somewhat disappointed by my table draw, as it was not an action-filled table. I wanted the (Phil) Iveys and (Daniel) Negreanus and Patriks (Antonius) at my first table. Don't get me wrong -- I think they are all great players. I just wanted a lot of money at my first table, and a lot of chips. The only person at my table who was gambling a lot was Chau Giang. He was seated immediately to my left, which is obviously a bad spot for the biggest gambler at the table in my eyes. I was still able to utilize all of the experience I had playing against Chau online at Full Tilt and win a few nice pots off of him. There were no real key hands on Day 1, but I was very fortunate to run my stack up to about $100,000 without much risk.
Day 2 -- Grinding to a chip lead
The structure of this tournament was amazing. I talked to Daniel Negreanu a bit, and he takes credit for it being so slow, so thank you, Daniel. There was so much deep-stacked play and skilled poker in this tournament, much more so than any other tournament at the WSOP so far this year. It seemed that everyone left in Day 2 was very deep-stacked, making for interesting poker.
To my left to start the day were Brian Rast, Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu -- not a great starting table. All three are great players and they all had position on me. This would have been a great Day 1 starting table when rebuys were still an option, but not so great for Day 2. My goal was to play a lot of pots, but I didn't want to open many pots with that group to act behind me. My goal after the rebuy period through the final table was to keep pots small. I never made big raises preflop -- I either barely doubled the blinds or open-limped. I felt that my edge on people postflop was so great that it was pointless to play big pots preflop. On the beginning of Day 2, with the exception of Brian Rast, everyone was allowing me to open-limp and see flops. Erick and Daniel were happy to see a lot of limped three-way and four-way pots. My strategy was working, and I didn't play any large pots early in the day, though I continued to slowly build my stack.
With 24 players remaining, which was very close to the bubble, I got moved to a much better table. Pretty much everyone at the table was shorter-stacked and playing very tight, with the exception of David Benyamine, who was across the table from me (keeping us out of each other's way for the most part). If David was out of the hand, I was opening most pots. I would open-raise, usually get one caller, bet the flop and my opponent would fold. At this stage in the tournament those pots were significant. Every time I did that I added about $20,000 to my stack, so you do that 10 times and all of a sudden you have picked up $200,000. The few times I was played back at, I usually had to make the call with inferior hands, which I actually think I lost more of than I statistically should have. Even though I tried avoiding Benyamine, I did in fact win a few medium-sized pots off him when I would raise, he would check-call the flop or turn, and I would hit something like a weak two pair on the river, with him missing a big draw with one pair. All of those pots add up, and I was happy to have them augment my stack.
Once the bubble burst things picked up pretty quickly. I was able to bust some of the smaller stacks on our way to 10-handed final-table play. As we got closer, I had to tighten up a bit when I moved to another table with a really bad seat draw. Negreanu and Rast were directly to my left again and prevented me from stealing many pots, which I had been so successful with earlier in the day.
There was one huge pot late in the day that propelled me into the chip lead, and it started with me having about $600,000 or so. Daniel and I both saw a flop of Jd-Kd-8h; I bet $50,000 and he called. I had flopped top set with Kh-Ks-Qc-7h and I decided to check the turn, which was the 3s. If I had bet the turn, which seems like the standard play, he calls with a lot of hands, and that's fine because I am ahead of them. However, most hands he's calling with there have a lot of outs. On that board, about half the deck makes my hand much less valuable. He could have hit a diamond or straight card and I would be forced to check to him because I am out of position. If a flush card hits and he missed a straight draw, he may shove. If he hits the flush, he will shove. If a straight card hits and he missed the flush, he may shove. If he hits a straight, he will shove.
With any of these scenarios I will most likely have to fold my hand with my tournament life at stake. So on top of all of his actual outs, he has all of these scare-card outs. I chose to check, and keep the pot small. It also adds some deception value, so if the board does pair or brick off it will be very difficult for him to put me on a set of kings there. I was extremely happy that he decided to bet $150,000 after I checked to him because I thought it was more likely he had middle set or top two pair. When I reraised all-in he called me with the 8c-9c-10h-Jc. I was very happy that I had two of his blockers with the Qc and 7h. My hand held up, and I took the chip lead with about $1.3 million going into the final table.
Final Table -- The glory
Entering my first WSOP final table I was very excited and nervous. I didn't think much about how stacked the group was. I was thinking more about whom I wanted to stay away from and whom I wanted to target. Holding the chip lead at a WSOP final table is not an opportunity that comes up very often, and I wanted to make the best of it and not blow it. I knew that if I made one wrong play I would not be able to forgive myself. Even though I had played a ton of hours and hands against many of my opponents online, the World Series is a much larger stage and the money is a lot bigger as well. The other difference from playing online is that I had 70 big blinds to start the table and I couldn't reach into my pocket at any time to reload. Every hand counted. As nervous as I was about it, I think it helped me focus and play even better than I thought possible.
I was again fortunate to be able to minimize my involvement in big pots but still slowly chip up and retain my chip lead. There were a lot of pots in which I would raise or limp and we would see a flop where maybe one bet was put in and called and we would check it down to a showdown. I won a lot of those pots. Things seemed to be going my way. I was checking behind with a lot of strong hands that in a cash game I would bet all day, but I didn't want to get check-raised all-in, knowing that a lot of times my hand was at best a 55 percent favorite.
One thing I noticed at the final table was people overplaying their aces. I, on the other hand, approached them more conservatively. I think there were three hands in which I didn't reraise aces preflop, and I showed down two of them to win and won the third uncontested. One hand against Benyamine, I had A-A-Q-9 single suited. He raised preflop and I called. I picked up an open-ender on the flop and check-called the flop and turn. The river was checked, and I showed down aces to win the pot.
The other hand was against Johnny Chan, when he raised in early position and I called from the big blind with A-A-2-3 rainbow, which is as bad as aces get. So many people reraise in the big blind there, but I think that's a horrible play. You could put your hand face-up and you would still be in bad shape. You aren't looking to flop anything at all, just hoping your aces hold up. I check-called the 10-5-2 flop and we checked it down to the river. Luckily, my aces were still good.
We got down to three-handed play pretty quickly; it was Benyamine, Adam Hourani and I playing for the bracelet. I had seen Hourani playing $50/$100 online, but I had no reads on him, other than knowing that he was a winning player. It proved beneficial that I had at least this information on Hourani, as he played very tight at the final table. If I didn't know he was beating some big games I would have thought he wasn't capable of making any big moves or of higher-level thinking, which he proved quite proficient at later on. I had played a lot with Benyamine; that experience helps, but at the same time he also had a lot of info on the way I play. On Day 2 he actually sniffed out a big bluff I attempted, as I was trying to play against the image he had of me.
My preference going heads-up was to not play against Benyamine. I watched his stack all day, wanting him to lose any time he was in a pot. That's not very nice, I guess, but it was out of respect for his game. I got my wish when Hourani flopped a set of queens against Benyamine's pocket aces, eliminating Benyamine. I was relieved that I wouldn't have to play Benyamine, but I quickly remembered that I still had to play heads-up for the bracelet.
Hourani and I played an extremely long heads-up match. I think in heads-up PLO a lot of people tend to play way too many hands out of position. He and I both knew not to do that, so it ended up with a lot of small-pot, back-and-forth poker. At one point he had doubled up and chipped up to about $2.4 million, and that was after I had him down to about $500,000. I had thought it was close to being locked up earlier, and now he was back with more than $2 million, so I was definitely feeling the heat and was very nervous.
Before I knocked him out, there were two big hands that got me back on the brink of the bracelet. In the first, I had raised with A-8-8-5 with two hearts, and he called. The flop was Ad-2h-Qc, and we checked it around. The turn was the 3d and he bet out. I made a very loose call, thinking maybe my ace was good and that I had a few outs. The river was the 10d, basically completing every draw on the board. Adam checked, so I knew there was no chance my ace was good in this spot; however, I decided I could turn my hand into a bluff. Since I know he is capable of higher-level thinking, bluffing here is great because what could I call the turn with that does not have showdown value with that river card? I bet $700,000 and he ended up folding what I assume was a pretty big hand. It really curbed his momentum, and it gave me a lot of confidence.
Another hand came shortly after in which I made a huge call on the river with nothing but second pair on what was a very scary board. I'll be giving you my analysis of that hand in the next issue of BLUFF.
Winning those two crucial hands on my way to the bracelet was very special to me because I got to really utilize my high level of thinking and skill to win. They weren't necessarily two hands that played themselves out -- it was my play that was integral in depleting his stack, momentum and confidence.
When the final card fell, it was a surreal feeling. It didn't hit me at first, but at the same time it was what I had waited for and was the entire reason I was there. I don't like live poker that much. I don't like tournaments, traveling or Las Vegas. The only reason I put myself through all of that was to win a bracelet. I knew how big of a deal this was for me before it happened, and I am very fortunate to have succeeded in my goal.

Bankers Reportedly Unthreatened by "Volcker Rule"
Sorry, Paul.
So this morning Obama announced his new plan to rein in Too Big To Fail banks, which we missed because we were out in the world doing some stuff for once. The plan, which was introduced via some absurdly cinematic tough-president talk ("My resolve to reform the system is only strengthened when I see a return to old practices at some of the very firms fighting reform. So if these folks want a fight, it's a fight I'm ready to have"), includes something called the Volcker Rule (so-named for former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, who thought it up). In a nutshell, the rule proposes that since banks have been proven to be unable to manage their risk, it should be managed for them, and that they should henceforth be prohibited from proprietary trading as well as owning and investing in hedge and private-equity funds.
It's more complicated than that, of course, like all of the other bank plans that have been floated by this administration that maybe we'll comb through once/if they actually start to seem real. But John Carney at Business Insider reports that so far, at least some bankers have already assessed the plan, found loopholes, and decided that it's actually not that big a deal: "This thing is about showing the public that Obama is standing up to Wall Street. So the rhetoric is heated. But the implementation will require far less change than people think right now," says a person Carney says is "familiar with the thinking at the upper echelons of one of our largest banks." Which, let's face it, could be anyone. But we believe it. As people familiar with the thinking of those in the upper echelons ourselves, we feel confident predicting they'll find a way to get around this. The only thing these guys love more than making money is being challenged to make buttloads of money, and with this plan it's like Obama just gave them a big, awesome, Rubik's Cube.

- Bank PIN
|If you've hooked yourself up with the RuneScape Authenticator, you have a complex password and you're not clicking any suspicious links or visiting strange websites, the chances of someone accessing your account are near impossible but it's always good to be prepared just in case!
Throughout your adventures you may come across and gain a lot of different rare items & wealth. Placing these items in the bank will assist you greatly and keep your wealth secure should you die in the wilderness or your account's security is compromised.
If wealth & rare items are lost or taken, J Mods do not have the ability to place them back onto the account. Check out this article for all things lost items.
What is a Bank PIN?
A Bank PIN is a great security feature that can be used to protect your in game wealth once placed in your bank. There is a need to keep our hard earned riches safe and secure from pesky hijackers, therefore the Bank of Gielinor has given each bank account the option of a PIN system or setting up the authenticator to cover players' banks.
The Bank PIN works just like a PIN code for your credit card with a 4 digit code that needs to be entered before you gain access to the contents of your bank. You can create your own bank pin by going to any bank in Gielinor and following these steps.
Please be aware that Jagex will never ask you for your bank pin. The bank PIN should be known to you and no one else!
There's no such thing as "too secure"!
The Bank PIN is the next layer of security which will keep anyone from pinching your hard earned valuables. Once set, we recommend that you keep this code to yourself and do not show anyone – even your friends and family. We also recommend that you do not write the code down or put it your in-game notes and do not choose a simple code could be easily guessed such as '1234'.
Once you've chosen a memorable Bank PIN, it's a good idea to start depositing your most expensive and rare items in your bank when you log off. The Bank PIN will give you peace of mind when you are not playing RuneScape and it only takes a few seconds to retrieve items when you next log in. You also have the choice of setting a removal time should you wish to change your Bank PIN. We offer a 3 or 7 day waiting period to remove the PIN but for maximum security we recommend the 7 day waiting period!
Setting your Bank PIN
Find out more on how to set your Bank PIN for the first time
Changing your Bank PIN
If you know your Bank PIN and want to change it, you can do so by following these instructions!
Removing your Bank PIN
If you've forgotten your PIN or need to remove it for any other reason, you can do so by talking to a Banker, clicking "I'd like to check my PIN settings" and then "Delete your PIN". This can take between 3 and 7 days to reset depending on your recovery delay settings.
While you wait for this to reset, you should be able to deposit items into your bank without the need to enter your Bank PIN using a Bank deposit box. These boxes are located in banks and other locations around Gielinor.
You will not be able to withdraw items until the new PIN is fully reset but still have the ability to deposit items by going to any bank and depositing items using the deposit box.

Amana Fontanella-Khan - Pink Sari Revolution: A Tale of Women and Power in India
Sampat Pal, illiterate and prohibited from attending school, was married at age twelve and had her first child three years later. For a girl growing up in Uttar Pradash, her experience was typical. Decidedly not typical was Pal's struggle on behalf of India's women. Founder and leader of the Gulabi Gang, Pal has empowered thousands of women. Fontanella-Khan, a journalist formerly based in India, delves into the complex politics surrounding Pal's grassroots movement.

I don't like this back skirt. It's an A-line and doesn't match the degree of fullness in the front.
Here she's wearing her muslin "bra". I was taught to do this in school but don't know if it's "right". Iow, if this is standard practice.
Here's the bridge I mentioned, floating the neckline off the chest a tad
Here's the front neckline, the yoke and center band as it were.
another view of the bridge. I'm not sure why I did this. It was an intuitive thing. I do know I didn't want it plastered to the chest wall. Plus, my chest is shaped differently, I was thinking the neckline might end up too tight.
The band/front yoke finished.
Adding the front. I hate adding gathers. I'll add more once I get to paper. This needs more fullness over the bust. Otherwise, this top says "look at my bizoobies"!
Here I've added a loose dart, cupping the bust. I may end up making this a tuck rather than a dart, with the fullness pointing in the opposite direction btw.
Here I've added the lower front midriff piece. Not well defined yet.
Midriff is finished. Sorry it's blurry. It was dark in here and I don't like the flash.
Here I've added the upper skirt band, just starting to shape it.
This is the wedge I cut out of the muslin to shape the front skirt drape.
The front skirt drapes nicely. Doesn't look quite as nice tho once I trimmed length off the skirt, removing the weight.
Here's the front completed. Skirt looks wonky in the photo but it's fine. Really.
You can't see the upper back yoke but it's under the back piece that I've started to lay on top. Those furrows are supposed to be gathers. Those pins off to the right, near the side seam are just keeping the piece together. My muslin was too small -which I only figured out after I'd done the hard parts.
Here I've added the lower back waist midriff, matching up to the front midriff.
Here is that back peplum like style line of the upper back skirt. It stops about an inch shy of CB. Interesting.
Here's a close up of the same. The pencil line marks the boundary of the piece, not the fabric.
The first back skirt trial is the larger wedge. Try #2 is the second wedge.
Here is back skirt drape #2. I don't like it. Two big flounces off to either side.
More surgery, trial #3
Here's the draped back skirt, trial #3 is much improved. Flounces are balanced.
Front view, completed.
Another view of the front.
A side view. The back skirt looks fuller than the front. I may have to correct that. Also, my bum isn't nearly as round as this form's is. My bust doesn't stick out like that either. Ah, the joys of being middle aged.
A three quarter view, favoring the back.
The back finished. More or less. Now how do I take this thing off her?

COLLEGE STATION, Texas—Kirk Doll has been named the Texas A&M special teams coordinator and tight ends coach, Aggie head coach Mike Sherman announced on Friday.
"Kirk Doll brings a wealth of experience as a football coach to our staff," Sherman said. "His primary role as our special teams coordinator will be key to our immediate success in the 2008 season. I am firmly committed to special teams as it represents one-third of the game. Our players must embrace their roles as special teamers as well as the contributions made by our 12th Man team."
Doll most recently served on Mike Shanahan's Denver Broncos staff for three seasons. His first year, 2004, he was the special teams coach and the following two years he worked with the linebackers.
"Kirk has had a variety of experiences, most recently as a linebackers coach at the Denver Broncos," Sherman added. "He's won a national championship at LSU and has been the assistant head coach at Notre Dame."
"Coach Doll's previous tenure in Aggieland was marked by great success," Sherman stated. "He contributed toward the past success of the "Wrecking Crew", as well as being an outstanding recruiter for Texas A&M."
During Doll's time at Texas A&M (1988-93) the Aggies appeared in five bowl games in his six seasons and won three Southwest Conference championships. The 1991 Wrecking Crew led the country in total defense allowing only 222.4 yards per game. The team compiled a 56-17-1 record for a winning percentage of .764 which included a 32-5 (.865) mark his final three seasons. Doll recruited the East Texas area and he worked with the inside linebackers in 1988 with the likes of Dana Batiste, Quentin Coryatt and Adam Bob, then switched to outside linebackers from 1989-93 working with Aaron Wallace, William Thomas and Marcus Buckley.
"Kathy and I are very excited about the chance to come back to Aggieland, a place where our son, Kyle, was born," Doll said. "I look forward to working with Coach Sherman and the outstanding staff he has put together at Texas A&M. I know a lot of changes have taken place around the campus, but one thing I know has not changed is the Spirit of Aggieland."
Before working in the NFL, Doll served two seasons (2002-03) as the assistant head coach and linebackers coach at LSU helping the Tigers and head coach Nick Saban win a share of the 2003 national championship.
His previous stop was as at Notre Dame from 1994-01 where he worked on the staffs of Lou Holtz and Bob Davie. Doll worked with the linebackers all eight years and was the special teams coach from 1994-97 and coached the kickers in 2000. He served as the assistant head coach from 1997-2001. He helped the Fighting Irish to five bowl games during his tenure.
The Wichita, Kansas, native earned a bachelor degree from East Carolina and graduated cum laude from Wichita State in 1976.
His first coaching experience came at Wichita State in 1975 and 1976 and then he worked at Texas City High School in 1978-79.
Doll returned to the collegiate level in the spring of 1979 working with tight ends at Iowa State. He moved to Tulsa from 1980-84 working with the offensive line.
He moved to the defensive side of the ball at Arizona State from 1985-87 for head coach John Cooper and helped the Sun Devils reach the Rose Bowl after the 1986 season.
Doll is married to the former Kathy Reding, and the couple has three children, Kate, Kelsey and Kyle.
"I am thrilled to get a coach like Kirk to finalize my staff," Sherman explained. "I know it's taken a while to get to this point. I am very proud, not only of the quality of coaches we have hired, but even more so the type of men we will have working with our student-athletes here at Texas A&M."

I created a test form, and while I see the "Your message was sent successfully" message, the submission never appears in my email.
I am having the same issue with a different contact form plugin, so I'm wondering if there's a high-level issue that's preventing any contact forms from working. No idea what that would be.

After the remix, it's the extended mix. And this time, Trina, Tyga, and Rockie Fresh join the fray. Some things are best left alone. Self Made Vol. 2 in stores now.
Tag: trina
Trina pulls her bumper over to the car wash in her music video. There's no denying that sex sells, so it's probably best to watch this on mute.
The Diamond Princess got wind of Game's rendition of "So Sophisticated" and responded to his, "Pussy good like Trina" line. It's unclear whether she took offense to the lyric, but her retort is clearly forgettable.
Trina shines so bright in more ways than one. But today, she attempts to musically with a new cut featuring Gunplay and Ice Berg. Sorry, no fireworks here. Bonus: "Bad Bychhhh" Ft. Lola Monroe x Shawnna
Need a car wash? Well yesterday, Trina
Trina gets back to business by interrupting our holiday today with a new track. Sounds like she should have joined the rest of America and took the day off.

Hyundai and Kia have announced the appointment of Peter Schreyer as Global President of Design Centres for both South Korean manufacturers. The news follows Kia's announcement that Schreyer was to become its first non-Korean president.
In his new role, Schreyer will oversee both Hyundai and Kia's design centres around the world, as well as the future direction of both firm's long-term design languages. This will ensure that both brands share design resources more efficiently, yet maintain the differentiation between the models of each respective firm.
Talking about the appointment, Woong-Chul Yang, Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group's Research and Design Centre in Korea said: "Design is not just the most visible aspect of the car, but it's an area customers have a strong emotional connection to."
Schreyer's appointment is part of a new strategy aimed at bolstering Hyundai-Kia's position as one of the world's biggest carmakers. In a speech delivered on January 2 by Mong-Koo Chung, Chairman and CEO of Hyundai Motor Group, Chung confirmed Hyundai's new mantra of 'Brand Innovation based on Quality.'
At present, Hyundai and Kia have their own design philosophies, 'Fluidic Sculpture' and 'The simplicity of the straight line', respectively.
Hyundai introduced its curvaceous design philosophy, 'Fluidic Sculpture', with the Sonata in 2009, while Kia's design language, called 'The simplicity of the straight line', arrived in 2006.
The latter was led by Schreyer, and comes full circle this year with the arrival of the new Kia Carens MPV – the last car in Kia's line-up to receive the current Kia family look.
