There's something so melancholy and tragic about Gunslinger Girl that it's beautiful and almost elegant. The events that the characters are put through are so hideous and horrible that you can't help but recoil in uneasiness, but at the same time, you can't stop watching their heart-wrenching story. The series takes place somewhere in Italy where little girls on the verge of death are taken in by the Social Welfare Agency and transferred to a government branch where they are brainwashed and transformed into urban combat cyborgs. Each girl is taken in by a handler, a man who's in charge of training her and making sure she fulfills the missions she's given. Over the course of five episodes, the disc follows four girls through their tragic pasts and their empty presents. On the surface, it would be all too easy to tab this as another guns'n'girls show, but within minutes, the fighting takes a backseat to the real focus of the story—the girls, their lives, and their odd existence between human and machine. Some of the girls are treated by their handlers as sisters, others as tools and test subjects, but all of them have their own sad tale. While the show itself varies between sleek assassination missions and simple character dialogue, the overall atmosphere has the same kind of slow pace to it that generally accompanies uncomfortable elevator silence. By no means is it easy to watch, nor is it something that inspires giddy happiness in viewers, but even with just five episodes, it's easy to see that viewers are in for one hell of an emotional ride. To top it off, the artwork is gorgeous and the girls are charming beyond belief. As far as dramas go, Gunslinger Girl is definitely one to see this year.

Baki the Grappler DVD 1 - Warrior Reborn: Round 1
FUNimation 100 min. 1/12 $29.98 06/14/2005
Baki doesn't need testosterone. Baki IS testosterone... bottled up in a 13 year old kid whose days and nights are driven by the desire to be strong, and a warrior's pride to be the best grappler in the world. Left by his parents to live and train alone, his wish is to grow up and be like his absentee father, renowned as the strongest fighter in the world. Until then, he's stuck fighting all the petty street thugs and mafia dogs who challenge him on the street. Not unsurprisingly, there's something more sinister happening in the background. Why are shady guys hiring thugs to attack Baki? Who is that person spying on all his fights? Why is his mom such a bizarre bimbo? Unknown. One thing's for sure though—Baki packs a surprising amount of heart and emotion in a rather unexpected way. No, there's no bunny rabbits or love songs. What you get instead is a young boy who's been left with only one joy in his life, and that's fighting. Day in and day out, he dreams only of becoming strong, even if it means getting pummeled into unconsciousness by world class fighters. Back in 1994, CPM released a movie called "Grappler Baki" that focused on a young man's journey to the top of a karate tournament bracket, but it's a far cry from this TV series. For starters, Baki is now a maniacal, (butch) girly-looking kid who's packed with fire and dynamite. His struggle comes from the heart and from a painful past, and for all the "WAH HUH I'MA SERVE YOU UP A MANWICH" mentality throughout the disc, it's more about a tale of growing up and reaching your dreams than anything else. At least that's what it seems like so far. It's still a little too early to tell though; who knows, maybe it'll be a fist fiesta the whole way through. For now though, keep an eye on this one. It may turn out to be quite the adventure.
Related Products: Shows like Fighting Spirit and Yawara immediately come to mind, for more than just the obvious reason. It's the struggle of youngsters striving to be strong and dignified warriors like their role models that really make for a great story about the vitality of youth.

Gilgamesh DVD 1 - Orphans of the Apocalypse
ADV Films 125 min. 1/7 $29.98 06/21/2005
Dark, gorgeous, mysterious, eerie, suspenseful... All of these words could be used to describe the delicious style fest that is Gilgamesh. Notice, however, that "coherent" is not on the list. Chalk it up to being only the beginning of the series, but chic as the show may be, it doesn't make all that much sense. From what viewers know, a terrorist attack in the past caused a huge disaster that turned the once blue sky into a kaleidoscope of lights and colors. Now the world is dark and run down, but under all the spooky darkness, a war is brewing. On one side, you have Orga, a bunch of mutants who have a plethora of amazing powers. On the other is Gilgamesh, a creepy bunch of pretty people who work for the Evil Scientist™ that sent Earth into the purgatory it's currently in. Somewhere in between are two siblings who are being hunted down to repay someone else's debt, and are now caught in the middle of this epic struggle. What's immediately captivating about the disc are the visuals. Everything is sexy in a morose, Gothic way and the unique character designs give the series a dramatic flair. The only gripe I have right now is that I plain just don't really know what's going on. Who's who, what's what, and why is everyone fighting? I imagine that's the hook the production staff is aiming for though, and it sure as hell works because I can't wait to figure out what's actually happening. It may not make much sense right now, but definitely give Gilgamesh a glance, if only for the gorgeous visuals.
Related products: X. X. X. X. X. This show screams "X" from every pore in its ultra-swank body, and I don't blame it.

Girls Bravo DVD 1
Geneon 100 min. 1/? $34.98 06/21/2005
I'm not entirely sure yet, but this may be one of the worst shows that Geneon has ever released to date. From the first scene, it was one giant cliché after another, over and over again, with enough generic shonen romance gimmicks to choke a militia of lonely nerds. Within the first ten minutes of the show, I drummed up a long list of hateful clichés that were popping up like a field of daisies.
Wait. Why am I even bothering listing all these? I could keep updating this list until my keyboard burst into a vat of flames and still I'd be squinting at the screen, venting my sadness and displeasure at having watched this terrible show. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate some good ol' fanservice every now and then just as much as the next person (Please Twins anyone? DearS? Love it.), but even shows made for masturbation can be absolutely appalling. In any case, the list above pretty much summarizes the first episode. Though in a completely banal twist, Alien Girl goes to Earth and more HAHA CUTE ALIEN GIRL HAHAHA FUNNI-ness ensues. To really beat things to shitters, the girls aren't even that cute. If you want pointless fanservice that's at least humorous or magnificently adorable, wait for Dears or something. Just don't waste your money on something that's essentially a rehash of every shonen romance show ever stamped onto a disc.
Related Products: Girl allergies, boys in big houses, lots of girls = Hanaukyo Maid-tai. Only if you want a shonen romance that isn't a drab cliché fest, try something cuter like the Love Hina Christmas Special or something and cool down this hot summer with something a bit more refreshing.
Tastes like: Galveston, TX tap water. For something that's so damned common and boring to begin with, it sure tastes like shit.

T-Shirt Envy: Britney Spears, Olivia Wilde & More Make Style Statements
August 18th, 2013 11:00am EDT
Some stars like to say what they feel by blasting it across their chests.
Last week we spotted Britney Spears wearing a "Spiritual Gangsters" top as she shopped in Los Angeles. The singer often walks around in loose clothing, so it's no surprise that she's a fan of the yoga clothing company.
The pop star is in the midst of working on her new album and recently released the single "Ooh La La" in support of family movie "Smurfs 2."
Her ex-husband Kevin Federline tied the knot in Las Vegas last weekend. He and Spears have two sons together, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Meanwhile, Spears is pretty content with her lawyer boyfriend David Lucado, whom she's been dating since spring.
Check out more stars and their expressive t-shirts...
Miley Cyrus wearing a Balenciaga "Join A Weird Trip" sphinx printed tee.
Juno Temple attended the "Lovelace" premiere with a shirt declaring, "I made Linda Lovelace gag!"
"Modern Family" star Ariel Winter wants the world to know she's too young for Ashton Kutcher.
Olivia Wilde is obviously a big Bruce Springsteen fan.

About Uncle Yammy's Sauces
You may have heard of our BBQ sauce. Yammy (we really call him that) began making this sauce about fifteen years ago. He took a simple recipe his wife used to make 28 years ago and developed the original recipe sauce. Several of our neighbors would cook out together on Saturday night and we would try the newest mix of secret ingredients. We finally settled on a sauce that was sweet with a little bite so it would appeal to most palettes.
We first made the sauce in Captain Toney's Restaurant in Greenville NC. It took us 5 hours to make 8 cases of sauce. The first store was a local Piggly Wiggly in our hometown, Greenville, NC. Over the summer we were able to expand to 10 Piggly Wigglys in eastern NC. Then a good friend of Uncle Yammy, Mike Stevens, asked him to attend a Goodness Grows in NC food show in Charlotte. There he met the Food Lion folks, who approved the product for 10 stores around Greenville.
Over the next year we were able to expand into approximately 100 stores in eastern NC. Through a lot of hard work, lots of traveling late nights and weekends, delivering the sauce in a weighed down Nissan Sentra, we were able to get the product into several warehouses. We are now in over 2,000 grocery stores and still growing. We now have 5 products; Original Recipe Sauce, Southern Style Sauce, All Purpose Seasoning, Chicken and Rib Rub, and Barbecue Sauce Mix.

David Cameron has blundered. Juncker should be Britain's choice for European Commission president
It looks as if David Cameron's campaign to stop Jean-Claude Juncker, the former Luxembourg prime minister, from being the president of the European Commission may meet with success. This is disastrous news.
Of course, Mr Cameron is right to think that the talentless Juncker, had he been born British, would have been lucky to make it to secretary of his local golf club. Furthermore, it is absurd that Luxembourg, a country with less than 0.5 per cent of Europe's population, is in line to provide its third European Commission president.
Meanwhile, new names are now entering the fray: the current IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, and more troubling still, Pascal Lamy, the former Director-General of the World Trade Organisation.
Nobody can question the talent or energy of either Christine Lagarde or Pascal Lamy. Both would prove capable presidents and powerful advocates for euro-federalism.
The president we Eurosceptics need is someone with no international reputation and zero credibility. An inert, incompetent and useless figure capable of turning the EU into a laughing stock around the world. In short, Cameron has blundered. He urgently needs to think again. The president we want is Juncker!

The price was 'fair' for what I got. One of the three desk people was O.K., but 2 were not.
The microwave didn't work, and they couldn't replace it because 'there were none available that worked'. The security latch for the door was broken off. I heard other people say the same about their room. Many other things to say, but not enough space.Oh good, more space. There was no remote control for the T.V. I went back to the lobby and told her. She looked at me like I stole it or something. That was immediately after I went to the room. The toilet was making a 'leaking' noise. I jiggled the handle, but that didn't work. It kept me up most of the first night, and the next morning I told the girl at the desk and she just looked at me. Nothing was done to fix it. The room is advertised that it has a coffee maker in it, it didn't. The towels and linens were not of a very good quality. Also the toilet paper was of a very cheap quality. I guess ...

The pool is way too small for this hotel; need to expand. The pool were dirty for the two night I stayed. There was hairs, cups, black ring and black mold, rush stain along the pool and on steps of the pool.Since its a small pool.

We asked a new employee about where the fitness center, he said there were none. I had to search around the building to find it myself.

For the price u pay, the room is ok. However, I found a piece of hair on the bedding. The carpet feels and look dirty, so you must bring a pair of slippers. There were a lot of big trucks in the parking lot. Thus , I think this hotel serve a lot of drivers. Granted no one bothered us or make us feel uncomfortable. Still, I don't suggest single girl stay there. The front desk was nice and friendly.

Convenient to freeways; good parking; nice-sized room and shower. Free in-room wi-fi (why do 'nicer' hotels charge for this?). Pool and spa were also nice.
Not the hotel's fault, but there were noisy idiots in the hall (who calls to their kids in the parking lot at 12:15?) a couple of nights. A/C in room wasn't too effective.

Developer Gerry Kamilos bought more time Tuesday for West Park, his vision of a huge industrial complex near Crows Landing.
Despite their impatience after more than five years of waiting, a 3-1 majority of Stanislaus County supervisors voted to grant West Park seven more months in the hope that the project eventually will produce 13,000 jobs with decent wages.
Kamilos wants to establish an inland port on a former naval air base to receive Asian imports on rail cars from the Port of Oakland, with valley produce heading the other way.
Kamilos must produce a draft environmental impact report and financial feasibility study by Jan. 31 or risk losing most of a $2.75 million deposit.
"He's helping us solve (an unemployment) problem. I take my hat off to him," Supervisor Dick Monteith said.
"Seven months, when we're talking about a 20-year program? What have we got to lose?" Mon-teith continued. "I happen to believe he'll come through."
Supervisor Bill O'Brien said either Kamilos would come through, or the county would have his money enough to start over with another developer.
Casting the deciding vote, Supervisor Vito Chiesa said, "I just have to believe it's better going forward."
The hearing got off to a surprising start when Supervisor Terry Withrow, who has not supported West Park in previous votes, left the room, saying a potential conflict of interest would prevent him from voting. Inlaws own property around Kamilos' proposal, Withrow said.
Supervisor Jim DeMartini continued strong criticism. He called West Park "a fraud, a lousy project; it's never going to produce any jobs. It's time for us to start over again."
Kamilos said, "We are very serious about getting this project completed."
Several consultants accompanied him, all saying they're eager to keep going and assuring that key documents could be done by a Jan. 31 deadline. Kamilos provided a $1 million deposit Monday and pledged a total of $2.75 million by July 10, most of which he would lose if his team fails to meet the deadline.
Supporters included a commissioner with the Port of Oakland, which had not been particularly vocal in the five years since West Park won exclusive negotiating rights.
"We think this project has great value for your community, the state of California, our port and international trade," Port Commissioner Victor Uno said.
"Doesn't everyone want employment opportunities?" said Bill Bassitt, chief executive officer of the Stanislaus Workforce Alliance. He said an extension should be easy to grant either Kamilos comes through, or the county has his money to start over.
But DeMartini grilled Kamilos at length, noting lawsuits and questioning whether his predictions on rail demand and jobs are realistic.
"How can you tell me you'll create 17,000 (jobs) unless you have an army of people with squeegees cleaning off solar panels?" DeMartini said.
Kamilos said a lot of answers would come with an environmental impact report, which his team would finish if supervisors granted him the seven-month extension.
Several West Side residents said they have little faith in Kamilos or West Park.
"He has not performed in any aspect," said Kenny Buehner of Patterson.
"Kamilos is responsible for not doing what he promised 15 years ago," said Melvin Clemmer of Patterson, a former supporter who lost patience. "He is solely responsible for loss of trust in the project."
Others praised Kamilos for his vision and commitment.
"You must have some tough skin to constantly come before this board to be ridiculed by DeMartini. Hang in there," said Laroy McDonald of Newman.

About 'Chaconne in D minor from Partita no.2 for solo Violin BWN 1004 (complete)'
|Bach, Johann Sebastian (biography)
|21 March 1685 , Eisenach
|28 July 1750 , Leipzig
|The Artist:
|One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and cannons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways.
|Composition Date:
|Composition Info:
|One of Bach's most famously challenging pieces, described by violinist Issac Stern as "one of the crowning achievements of Man in music". The Chaconne in D minor is a series of 31 variations on a simple chordal theme. The piece lasts 15 minutes and encompasses a huge range of expression and technique, including a blistering double-stopped arpeggio variation which rivals the Paganini Caprices in its technical difficulty.

"Folie a deux" is a serious psychiatric disorder in which a delusional belief is shared by two individuals. This diagnosis is the only possible explanation for the insane belief held by Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis that if the Bengals management continues as is, the Bengals will eventually be a winning football team.
If anyone knows of an anti-psychotic medication powerful enough to treat this seemingly intractable mental illness, please send it pronto to Brown and Lewis. Otherwise, our poor city is doomed to endless years of dashed hopes, depressing Sundays and dismal football seasons.

Delerium: Spoilt for choice
Delerium is a bit of an institution. Near the Grand Place and just off the (horrible) Rue des Bouchers - where waiters try to beckon you in to their overpriced, poor restaurants - Delerium is renowned for its enormous range of beers. Currently they claim to have more than 3000!
Inside, it's unremarkable, really. Beer posters all over the walls. Wooden chairs. Lots of nooks and crannies. The real reason to come is for the choice of beers, and you won't be disappointed. Lots of tourists come here for that reason, so it can get very crowded.
Dress Code: No dress code.
Brasserie 1898: European Quarter Bar
This bar is a fairly standard Brussels café. It's located in the European Quarter, near the European Commission Berlaymont building and the European Council Justus Lipsius building (not near the European Parliament). It's also situated just under the building in which I work, so I frequent it pretty regularly.
Fortunately, then, it has a good range of beers, including one of my favourites - Charles Quint rouge (8%) - and friendly staff. Food is Belgian fare, and starts at around €16, rising for special cuts of meat. The menu varies, but usually has pasta, salads, fish and meat dishes.
Dress Code: No dress code.Related to:

Aarschotstraat: Red Light area
Driving to Heysel park, we passed by Gare du Nord, and, by accident, found ourselves in the middle of "red light area". Suddenly, I remembered that I had been there in 1971, when I was a student and the travelling curiosities were... different.
Though not entering anywhere, the organized commercial structure of sex was astonishing to a youngster coming from the close and conservative dictatorship of Portugal.
This time, the surprise was to see them working in day light, and to change the initial idea - I had in mind that the display showed mainly consumed and degraded women, and this time we were shocked by the youth of some of them, and the dominating elegance.
A curious place, but the evident vigilance of their... friends, recommends discretion and caution.Related to:

Les Halles Saint Gery: Comfortable Cafe
Maybe 1/4 NW of the Main Square is the St. Gery area, with a plethora of cafes that were buzzing well into th evening. Set in the Halles that appear to be built in late 1800's is the Les Halles Saint Gery, with a full bar, many Belgium beers, with many sorts of seating arrangements, from outside cafe tables, to barstools, to couches. An out of tune and in need of repair piano is in the middle. The place has an art deco feel with all the iron work. I did need to waive down a server.Related to:

Around Kolenmarkt: Gay night life
On our evening walk back fromGrand Place to our accommodation, we passed through the gay scene in Brussels. It was very busy and people were having such a good time!
It's all concentrated around the Kolenmarkt (in French: Rue du Marché au Charbon). There are various, quite famous bars such as Fontainas, Boys Boudoir, and Baroque. The Belgica is a gay icon visited by the likes of Björk and John Gallliano.
On a warm evening, people there just stand outside the bars chatting and having a good time.
You're welcome too if you're not gay. Especially in two rock cafes like DNA or Rock Classic or the latin Canoa Quebrada.
The liveliest evenings are Thursdays through Sundays.
Dress Code: I wouldn't dream of describing a gay dress code for this area, haha!
NB The photo is not made in the Korenmarkt but just another street the next day.Related to:

La Baroque: Friendly Bar in the Gay District
La Baroque is a friendly and amazingly unpretentious bar in the heart of Brussels gay district which centres around Rue du Marché au Charbon/Kolenmarkt. They serve some decent local beers including a lovely cherry flavoured beer or "Kriek". The staff are friendly and speak good English.
Dress Code: There isn't really a dress code, more like an anti-dress code. They discourage being a fashion victim or obsessed with body image. Natural masculine appearance is the order of the day, facial hair is a bonus.

Delirium: If You Fancy A Beer or Two THOUSAND!
I happened to be in Brussels on my birthday (18th of January for those that don't know) in 2012 and having picked up emails, VT notices and FB comments from most of my "fiends" from around the world I reckoned it would be a good idea to have a beer with them all.
Not that I have a lot of "fiends" but I do like a lot of beer and when the friendly receptionist at the Theatre Hotel mentioned that there was a bar in the city which stocked over two thousand that seemed like a perfect birthday project.
The bar is called "Delirium" and indeed it does stock over 2,000 and is in the "Guinness Book Of Records" for doing so. This is a pretty amazing place - it's not just a single bar but rather a whole little alley with a cafe, a pub, a basement bar and a beer shop all under the "Delirium" umbrella.
I used the front cafe/bar on this visit and found the place friendly, though a little touristy, but the barman certainly knew his beers and I did my best to have a different brew with each of my virtual "fiends".
Not sure how many I had in total but after a certain quantity I couldn't even remember who I'd had a drink with, in fact I couldn't even remeber who I was ;-)

Le Bridge: Another Proper Pub!

This bar might not be really special maybe for a tourist (or then again it might be), but it's my favourite bar in Brussels. If you want to have a talk with friends in a nice young atmosphere, this is the place to be. In the afternoon it's the ideal place to have a coffee, and in the evening there's a cosy crowd with nice background music. Before you know it, it's way past bedtime. :-)
Most people who come here are Dutch-speaking and between 25 and 35, I guess.
The people behind the bar are extremely friendly and fast.
Dress Code: Anything.

Once again, Americans were shocked at yet another mass murder of innocents. Just as they were over the other massacres of schoolchildren and also theatergoers, and the shooting of an Arizona congresswoman and others at a public rally. Once again, law-enforcement officials implored America's political leaders to at least get the most dangerous military-style weapons, and the large-capacity ammunition magazines, off the streets.
Yet, sadly, no American conservative political leader has come forward to emulate the profile in courage displayed across the planet's widest pond, by Australia's John Howard.
Once, Republicans were America's party of "law and order." Today, tragically, no Republican national leader is willing to heed the pleas of cops and hoist the law-and-order banner to get rid of guns that are outgunning our cops.
While Republicans cower in fear of the National Rifle Association's wrath, it has fallen to America's Democrats, led by their liberal wing, to grab the law-and-order banner before it hits the ground. But the law-and-order liberals aren't politically capable of doing for America what conservative leader Howard did for his gun-cultured nation.
As Howard wrote in Melbourne's The Age newspaper, after the massacre of theatergoers in Aurora, Colo.: "There are many American traits which we Australians could well emulate to our great benefit. But when it comes to guns, we have been right to take a radically different path."
The NRA has mousetrapped America's conservatives and even its mainstream into taking their wrong-think bait. The NRA opposes every proposed gun-safety measure by citing an example of a tragedy the measure wouldn't have prevented.
But to keep our loved ones safe, we can no longer pick and choose among the proposed solutions. We must adopt them all.

Unexpected Hiatus!
I didn't update since May, yikes! I'm sorry. I've been so lazy and so busy and for most of June, I've been sick. I ought to write about that when I'm not lazy. Ramadan is almost over so this week is gonna be my busiest week so bear with me.
The weather's been hot this year. And since a few days ago, I think the haze is back. My throat is hurting so bad. Last month I had strep throat virus and somehow my throat has been swollen for a while now. I noticed there's a lump in there that I should get it checked soon. So now it's hurting again because I smelled smoke from bazaar ramadhan and the haze is probably making it worse. I wish it would rain, please rain… I need rain! Not the super heavy kind that leads to flash flood in my neighborhood. The hot weather is making my body so tired. I need to wear a mask outside now, I think. I need to buy a new cap. I should look for the cheap kind of hats, the hats at wholesale kind.
World Cup is over – GERMANY WON! Pretty bummed that Brazil was humiliated in the worst world cup semi-final match ever in the history of world cup. I was hoping they would own that cup like they did in 2002. Oh well. I'm not longer a Brazil supporter but am now a Germany supporter!
I'm not trying to blog more often at my other blog – totally-awesome.net
Do visit!
Well that's all for now. I'm feeling sleepy again. That's all I've been doing – sleep. I get tired so easily. I refuse to believe I'm getting old, urgh. I just need to buy some vitamins to get my metabolism rate up again. I need to start exercising to get the energy. I'm working on that.

Snapper quizzed on anti-terror law in Croydon
6:30am Monday 31st May 2010 in News By Harry Miller
A private detective was quizzed by cops under anti-terror laws for snapping a picture of a council van parked on double yellow lines.
On May 19, Jorge Salgado-Reyes was outside his office in Katharine Street, Croydon, with a colleague when he saw the Croydon Council enforcement van parked on double yellow lines.
Mr Salgado-Reyes then began taking photographs of the vehicle because the men inside seemed to be just "kicking back" rather than on official business.
It was then that a PCSO came over and asked him what he was doing.
He told the PCSO that it was nothing to do with her and he was fully entitled to be taking pictures.
He claims the PCSO then told him he could be stopped from taking the photos under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
But, unknown to the over-zealous PCSO the colleague he was standing with was a solicitor and they just happened to be stood directly outside their office.
She then asked them if they lived in the area or worked here.
Mr Salgado-Reyes said: "I told her we did indeed work in Croydon and pointed to the sign above our heads, which read Mansouri and son solicitors.
"It was brilliant, she did a double take at the sign and then her whole approach changed. She became a lot more friendly and stayed and had a chat with us for a couple of minutes.
"I had already told her what I was doing was not unlawful but when she tried to say we could be arrested under the Prevention of Terrorism Act I wasn't going to take that.
"Fair enough if the council workers had been on official business but they were just kicking back.
"For too long the local councils have had far too much power and it is time to take it back.
"Everyone should have to adhere to the same rules."

Just a silly mistake? A storm in a teacup?
No. Very serious erosion of our freedoms.

Are the council above the law?
Anyway, I thought the yellow lines were there for safety reasons?

Occupying the rocky, wooded southwest corner of Stevens Park golf course, the former neighborhoods of Stevenswood and West Kessler Heights spanned a period of five decades. The two developments joined together in 1982 to form the West Kessler Neighborhood Association.
The topography has inspired some interesting homes over the years. The older developments have many late-1930s Tudor cottages, while later additions include Austin stone and brick houses in traditional and ranch styles. Of particular note are the Dilbeck-style split-levels built into the hillside adjacent to Hampton Road. Landmark homes include a modern-style estate on Hampton Road built in the early 1950s by J.C. Calabria, a prominent Oak Cliff physician. Originally dubbed "Modern Manor," it sits on a large piece of land overlooking a wooded creek next to the golf course. Completely restored a few years ago, it retains many original features. Another spacious, modem-style home, built for Dr. Calabria's brother, occupies a large lot on N. Oak Cliff Boulevard. It was designed by architects Sam Bass and Jess Epps, and built by Perry Greenspan.
West Kessler has one of the most active and organized neighborhood associations in the north Oak Cliff area. Seasonal social events help residents of all ages and backgrounds foster new relationships. The association publishes a neighborhood directory and a bi-monthly newsletter; it holds annual neighborhood garage sales, recognizes "yards of the month," monitors code enforcement, and works on special projects. This fine organization, plus a beautiful development built on wooded bluffs, make West Kessler a desirable address.
Please visit the West Kessler Neighborhood Association Website and Wikipedia for more information.

What, no Skittles? Liquor migrates from nursery to rumpus room at WSWA
A man in a tailored suit stepped into the elevator, saw my media badge, then immediately reached into his pocket to brandish a sealed, single-serving drink he described as a "super-premium shot."
It resembled a transparent Keurig pod filled with a clear liquid. What type of liquid and what flavor I failed to learn because, well… have you ever been in a plummeting elevator with a stranger waving a plastic shot of something in your face while excitably repeating "the next big thing"? Fight or flight kicked in, big time.
I was at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas this week for the massive annual Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America convention. I've attended several times in the past, and each time I felt as if I've suddenly stepped into a colorful, Oz-like land — one populated with vacantly smiling Amazonian models in slinky black cocktail dresses always proffering colorful drinks (except for the vacantly smiling models dressed in storm-trooper leather proffering rum shots). Also: guys in suits either hawking the next big thing, or in steely-eyed search for it.
The focus here has rarely been on the quality or authenticity or story behind the spirits, but on who has best arranged a forced marriage between alcohol and flavors of childhood. (It was here I was first introduced to Adult Chocolate Milk and Skittles-inspired flavored vodka. And cake-flavored vodka. Lots of cake-flavored vodka.)
Yet, despite my elevator encounter, my sense was that the annual gathering was starting to grow up. There were fewer cake and candy flavors, and a lot more flavors trending toward exotic and interesting.
Danny Brager, a senior-vice president at Nielsen, a firm that takes an unseemly interest in what you drink and why, said at one panel discussion a "broader revolution around generational changes" was underway. He suggested that Millenials are focused more on what's local and what's authentic. Essentially, they're looking for the Etsy of liquor, he said — they're drawn to smaller brands with a story and a handcrafted touch. Big Liquor doesn't interest them so much.
Not that bro-booze, you-go-girlfriend! ready-to-drink cocktails, and cake and candy vodka flavors will disappear. (And don't even ask me about Vodquila.) But in roaming the expo and getting lost in endless hospitality suites, I sensed that the industry was starting to recalibrate somewhat.
"There's an overlap between what craft spirits offer and what Millenials are looking for," said Tom Mooney, the president of new American Craft Distillers Association and a CEO of House Spirits in Oregon, at the panel. "This is a fortuitous circumstance of Millenials coming of age and craft sprits coming of age, and hopefully they'll stay together for life."
I tasted more intriguing, challenging products here than in the past. That included Black Balsam, a Latvian-based fernet with a recipe dating to 1752 that's now stepping up its efforts in the U.S. after lackluster distribution in the past.
And a new, complex two-year aged wheat whiskey coming off Germain-Robin's antique copper pot still. And an exceedingly tasty barrel strength rye sourced by Redemption — with six years in wood and bottled at just over at 120 proof.
Even when flavors were involved, they seemed to venture beyond the nursery. I liked the Selveray Cacao Rum, an aged Panamanian rum with sophisticated dark-chocolate notes. Even the Stolen rum flavored with tobacco and coffee — which isn't wholly original; remember Ivanabitch Vodka's tobacco and menthol flavors? — had a challenging, slightly sulfurous bite that could do well paired up with a dense vermouth and offsetting bitters.
And the bottled cocktails I sampled stuck me as better and far more natural tasting than in the past. The Miami Cocktail Co. had bottled drinks (mojito, sweat tea, pina colada) made with all natural ingredients which managed to avoid the metallic taste of the New Jersey turnpike flavor-industrial complex. Even better were the three bottled cocktails created by Charles Joly for Crafthouse (Moscow mule, paloma, south side). At my first sip of the Southside, I thought, whoa, someone finally figured out how to preserve the crisp taste of freshly squeezed lime in a bottle. That's no mean feat.
I didn't see the Ivanabitch folks this year, nor the Skittles-inspired vodka. It seemed as if the party had been moved from the toddler's nursery to the tween's rumpus room.
Carving out a space in the liquor world demands a deft touch. If you're just staring out, it's not enough to copy a successful mainstream liquor, like Bulleit Bourbon or Appleton Rum. New producers will always lose the distribution and advertising wars, not to mention economies of scale. But neither can they jump the shark too audaciously, because that triggers ridicule.
This year, I didn't notice as many sharks circling nor guys in suits jumping. The space between too-familiar and too-fatuous seemed to be growing a little more populated, a little more inclusive, a lot more interesting.
Still, be alert when you're in the elevators.

Orthodontic treatment will improve your health and your appearance. Correcting jaw discrepancies such as overbite and underbite will make chewing, talking and even breathing more comfortable for you. Decreasing stress to the bones and tissues that support your teeth decreases the risk of gum and bone deterioration, which is the leading cause of adult tooth loss.
Orthodontic treatment's new popularity is due to improved treatments and technology, leading to better success rates than even before. Just a few of the examples of space-age improvements include:
In some cases, months can be taken off traditional treatments.
Truly a space-age improvement, these replacements for traditional stainless steel wires were developed by NASA. These wires allow teeth to move continuously over longer periods of time, providing increased comfort and decreased treatment times and appointments.
Today, braces are smaller and less visible than ever. Popular choices include tooth-colored or clear ceramic brackets and clear plastic aligners (Invisalign) customized for your needs.

Having virtually exhausted the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, New Line Cinema is banking for a new annuity with "Mortal Kombat." Based on the best-selling video game, the martial arts/special effects film arrived like a last blast of summer heat to score an estimated $23 million in 2,421 theaters over its first weekend.
Reviewers were not given an advance peek at "Kombat." No matter, since its post-literate, young-male core audience isn't likely to rely on critical approval in making its film-going decisions. Granted, the $30 million-plus-film dropped sharply from opening day (which included Thursday night advance-preview receipts) to Saturday, but that was not enough to prevent it from registering the fifth-highest weekend gross of the year, in such good company as "Batman Forever" and "Pocahontas."
