My first attempt at werewolf Deck. I'm focusing on trying to get my creatures out quick and then transforming them for an overrun.
need suggestions for replacements for my mana fixers, Savage Lands, Firewild Borderpost, and Veinfire Borderpost so i can make this totally standard as well as sugestions ot make it more competitive.
Looking for good replacements for Lightning Bolt and Terminate
Until Scars/2012 rotates, Incinerate is still good and so is Go for the Throat . Another viable option is to use Prey Upon as your guys SHOULD be bigger than theirs and you can force beneficial trades.
Thanks deck is now completely standard. Just looking for recommendations to make our more competitive.
I would sub out the Villagers of Estwald Flip and replace them with Borderland Ranger . By the time you get to 3 mana you should be able to cast anything you want, but if you don't have black you can be hindered a bit. Borderland Ranger helps to mana fix AND gives u value when it hits the field and doesn't have to flip.
oh and more Immerwolf

- How to Read a Study Record
The overall purpose of this pilot study is to conduct a formative evaluation of (veteran)peer delivery of a chronic pain self-management program to veterans with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Our specific aims are as follows:
Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility of identifying, recruiting, training, and retaining veteran peers to implement a self-management program for chronic pain.
Aim 2: Identify facilitators and barriers to peer-delivery of a chronic pain self-management program.
Aim 3: Convene an expert panel to review the results of Aims 1 and 2, help to interpret the results, and plan next steps.

|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Pain Self-Management
Training of (veteran) peers to deliver pain self-management materials to veterans with chronic pain
Behavioral: Pain Self-Management
Training of veteran peers to deliver pain self-management material to veterans with chronic pain. Veteran peers will then be assigned 2 patients with chronic pain to work with over the next 4 months on pain self-management.
Detailed Description:
Peer training will consist of 2 core components: 1) How to deliver the pain self-management curriculum; and 2) Peer-support competencies (i.e., "how to be a peer"). After initial training, research personnel will remain in regular contact with peers to answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and facilitate mutual support among peers. Peers will meet as a group with the psychologist for bi-weekly peer supervision either in-person or via teleconference.
The self-management program will be delivered in two phases. Phase 1 will be a 2-hour didactic session led by the study nurse and will parallel the content described for the peers. The pain self-management manual developed for our earlier studies will be used and distributed to the patients. Phase 2 will be additional sessions delivered by peers, over a 4-month period. At the end of the Phase 1 session, the peers will meet their assigned patients. Peers will be assigned 2 patients, and pairings will be made with input from the study nurse and psychologist, with patients and peers being age- and gender-matched to the extent possible.
After their initial face-to-face meeting, peers will be asked to keep in regular contact with patients over a 4-month period. Specifically, peers will contact patients a minimum of bi-weekly via telephone or in-person.
Peers will be asked to review each of the topic areas covered in the self-management manual. Peers will review a different topic each session, ask if the patient has questions, and discuss his or her personal experience with the topic being covered during that session. Modeling what the nurse care manager has done in prior studies, peers will work with patients to help them to set goals and to evaluate whether these goals are realistic. A new goal will be set at each session, with the peer following up on the previous goals with the patient, whether they were accomplished, and if not, possible courses of action (e.g., modifying the goal or offering other advice to accomplish the goal). Throughout these sessions peers will be encouraged to draw on their own experiences and how they personally overcame obstacles and handled setbacks and frustrations. Peers will not advise on or discuss medications or medical questions with patients. If such questions come up, peers will instruct patients to contact their PCPs.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older

A Skokie man has been arrested in connection of a murder inside a Texas pool hall.
Charles R. Jones, 27, of the 9100 block of Lawler, was arrested at a motel on Touhy Ave in Skokie on Saturday afternoon. He was wanted on a warrant for the April 1 murder of Gerald Banks, 33, in El Paso, Texas, according to the El Paso police.
Another defendant, Dantrell Posey, 26, had already been charged with the murder. Posey and Jones both fought with Banks before Banks was shot, police say.
Jones wore a jacket with the words "Trouble Maker" emblazoned across the back in court Sunday. His bail was set at $1 million.

Loved surfing the waves ! It is on the more windy side of the island so offers respite from the sun .
World class beach and very secluded. There is rarely more than another 5 or 6 people here. Take a picnic and enjoy the day!
I really liked us beach as it was fun for everyone and nothing could be wrong I remember swimming in the waves having so much fun.
A Beautiful beach. White sand.
Blue sea.
What else could you ask for.
I was the only person on the beach !!
Though it will be the most "crowded" beach in Mustique, it's still very enjoyable. The water is gorgeous--but beware the waves, for they may take your sunglasses with them! Perfect if you like to boogey-board.
This was not my favourite beach on the island, can be rough and busier than some of the others. Not helped by the fact that the picnic table we had booked had about 10 Americans sitting at it and they only moved off the table and sat in front of us blocking our way to the beach!
Love the laid back, yet glamorous feel if this wonderful beach. It never really feels crowded, the turquoise waves are great fun for getting tossed around in. There are picnic shelters, palm trees and the sand is soft and white. What's not to like?
What a beach!!!!! And so quiet for you to enjoy. White sands, steady waves, swaying palms and blue waters- what more could you ask for?
No amenities so can throw people off but thats what helps make it perfect! can't wait to go back and bring the kids.
Definitely you can choose any of the beaches but Macaroni remains the top. Check before theavailability of the shelters with the Company otherwise you will not be able to attend it.

Goffstown celebrates Christmas with lights, Santa, hayrides
A small choir leads the crowd in carols at Goffstown's Friday Night Under the Lights holiday celebration. (BARBARA TAORMINA/Union Leader Correspondent)
GOFFSTOWN -- Hundreds of people packed Main Street in Goffstown Friday Night for a community celebration to welcome Christmas. Families took hayrides around downtown, kids discussed toys with Santa, people huddled together to admired all sorts of lights and the Congregational Church presented a Living Nativity and with a choir that led the crowd in a round of Christmas carols.
"This is really Christmas," said Manchester resident Patty Burt, who said she was taking time out from shopping to enjoy the night.
Sponsored by the Goffstown Main Street Program, which organizes events year round to promote the historic village district and maintain a small-town quality of life, the annual holiday gathering generated a lot of holiday warmth despite cold, crisp temperatures.
"It's a traditional event that people look forward to every year," said Cheryl Elliott, a member of the board of the Main Street Program. "It's all free, and it gets the community together to celebrate the holiday."
The Goffstown Home Designers, Builders & Remodelers added a new event to this year's celebration with a river fire, a series of small fires that burned in the water as music played in the background. People munched on Christmas cookies and sipped cocoa trying to figure out the secret to lighting small fires in the water.
"This is a great time," said Jodi Abood, from Slawsby Insurance, one of the sponsors of the event. "Goffstown is a small, very tight, family-orientated community. Everybody is bumping into one another, everyone knows everyone. It's really nice."
But people also visited from other cities and towns to get a taste of an old fashioned small town Christmas event.
"We come to Goffstown for a lot of things here," said Barnstead resident John Coughlin, who was heading over to get in line for a hayride with his daughter. "It's a great community."
The main event of the night for a lot of people was the live nativity in front of the Congregation Church. A narrator read a version of the story of Christmas and the small choir sang carols with the help of a crowd who gathered on the sidewalk.
"We really hope to share with the community the true meaning of Christmas," said Rev. Bob McKenney, who was dressed as a shepherd for his part in the program.
"We just want to let people know that at this time of year, when things are hard for a lot of people, there's hope," he said.

JSR-353, the Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P), has reached final approval ballot this month. JSON-P (similar to JAXP) consists of a Streaming API (similar to StAX) and an Object Model API (similar to DOM). The reference implementation is jsonp, currently in beta, and open sourced under CDDL v1.1 and GPL v2. JSON-P will be part of upcoming Java EE 7, and will be used by JAX-RS for its default JSON implementation. Please note that this API does not include JSON data binding (similar to JAXB), and is unrelated to the more popular JSONP or "JSON with padding".

November 28, 2014
RENO, NV - It's been two weeks since the Pyramid Lake Paiute tribe first issued a water quality advisory regarding swimmers' itch at beach's along shallow areas of Pyramid Lake.
Hot weather is helping create the conditions that can leave swimmers with an unwelcome side effect from getting into the water, and it's expected to be a problem for the remainder of the summer.
So far the reports of swimmers' itch are coming from North and Southnets beach as well as Marina beach, but swimming or wading in any shallow area should be avoided.
Anyone getting into the water is advised to towel off or rinse off as soon as possible to limit exposure.
Since swimmers' itch is not a health risk, the lake will not be closed. But the Tribe says it will continue to monitor the situation, and is asking for the public's help.
If visitors to Pyramid Lake do experience symptoms of "swimmers itch" they are encouraged to please report it to the tribe by calling 888-225-2668.

How many folks, including lofo voters, remember the goobernment shutdown? The problem for Rebulicans is they fight the wrong battles. Shutdowns are forgotten but flawed laws like Obambicare are forever. The shut down never secured Dem hopes. IT was a momentary illusion. Obambicare is on everyones´ mind as it has harmed the vast majority of Americans. Now if the Rebublicans can take advantage, they can shut down Obambi and his fascist regime for two years.

Liberals will forever find reasons why the average citizen rejects their wacky ideas. It´s never their ideology; it´s always due the stupidity of the voter, racism, Republican chicanery, need for higher taxes.......Obamacare.z

This isn´t about a sub-standard website.It is about all the lies that were told, the FORCE of its passage by democrats and only democrats with all the details hidden.People cannot keep their doctors, they cannot keep their plans if they want to.The number of signups is dismal and mainly those going on Medicaid or receiving huge subsidies have signed up..another welfare program.Those who have their own private insurance are paying for the disruption with greatly higher premiums. Doctors are fed UP with all the gov´t demands.

Dean is an idiot. Here´s what the libtard demonrats brought you:1) A drop to the U.S. credit rating;2) evaluation of the dollar;3) A change to the way inflation is calculated to hide the real inflation rate;4) Full time jobs being redefined part-time jobs so businesses can avoid the stifling cost of BarryCare;5) Wasteful and useless spending driving up the deficit (all that wasteful spending became the baseline for the next year´s budget which is why Reid wouldn´t submit a budget for 5 years);6) Gutting the military back to pre-WWII to better enable enemies to attack us (the hordes are already gathering in Yemen);7) Feckless and complete foreign relation policies;8) Lawlessness;p9) Stealth methods for gutting the Bill of Rights and Constitution;10) A ruined economy and a sustained unemployment rate (manipulated not to count the real number);11) Higher grocery and energy prices, etc.;12) More worthless pie in the sky regulations costing businesses billions;13) Feckless foreign policy;14) I could go on and on.

I used to have the Dean scream overlaid with the Hillary cackle play every time I logged into my computer. Then whenever I closed a window it would Dean scream. Always got a chuckle from somewhere in the office.Too many young-uns wouldn´t even recognize the Dean scream now.

Deep breath: Aaarrrgggghoooo!! Right back at you, Howie. The depth of your political analysis was defined by that little bit of political theater. And no, it´s not about the website. It´s all about government overreach and we have yet to experience the full force of that. That will kick in as the coverage or lack thereof does. Then you will hear the scream that really was heard around the world.

Vegan Fast FoodPosted on 07 / 15 / 2014
Okay if you're looking for fast food veganized, otherwise skip this place.
I went here with two meat-eaters, one ordered a salad, the other the cheese burger. I had vegan gyros myself. I have to say, while my meal came quite close to its meat containing original, I was disappointed by the small spoonful of cashew-tzaziki that came with it. Having a big pile both of "gyros" and chips on my plate, the small amount of tzaziki didn't really manage to tie the meal together and left it overall quite dry and extremely salty.
The burger and salad were found okay, but not extraordinary.
Updated from previous review on Tuesday July 15, 2014
Cons: meat dishes turned vegan, poor , nothing special

Central Washington University's award-winning Opera Ensemble and Chamber Orchestra will perform Johann Strauss's flamboyant masterpiece, Die Fledermaus (in English), at the Capitol Theater in Yakima, on April 6 at 7:00 p.m., and April 7 at 2:00 p.m. The Capitol Theatre, located at 19 S. 3rd St, is a 1920s Pantages-style structure that was restored in 1978 after a devastating fire, and is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places.
Die Fledermaus (The Bat) is set in 1850s Vienna, and features some of Strauss's most recognizable characters and music. It is a rollicking comedy of errors, with mistaken identities, schemes of payback, and social faux pas, all played against the lush backdrop of Strauss's brilliant score.
Tickets are available online at capitoltheatre.org, or at the Capital Theatre Box Office, 509-853-2787. Tickets may also be purchased at Tickets West at 800-325-7328. Tickets are $24 for general admission, $12 for students with ID.
Opera is an integral part of the training for Central's vocal and orchestral students, and no fewer than 100 CWU graduate and undergraduate students will participate in bringing this magnificent work to life—on the stage, in the orchestra pit, and in the wings.
Gayla Blaisdell, professor of music—voice, will direct, and Torrance Blaisdell, also a voice instructor at CWU, will produce Die Fledermaus. Nikolas Caoile, professor, music—orchestral studies, will conduct the CWU Chamber Orchestra. Chantell Ray, CWU alumna and adjunct faculty member, is the choreographer for the opera's dance scenes.

Streets full of traffic can sever communities. This project will examine the effects of community severance (CS), when busy roads act as a barrier or deterrent to people's mobility. The team will study four residential areas to develop an in-depth understanding and measure of CS. They will ask local residents what is important to them and observe what happens in practice when older people try to walk around their neighbourhood.

SF – Hip Hop Family Tree Signing
November 18, 2014 by Colin Solan
Filed under California, Comic Books, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Ed Piskor appears at City Lights Bookstore on Thursday November 20th at 7 to sign Hip Hop Family Tree!
Press Release:
To celebrate the resounding critical and commercial success of the first two volumes of Ed Piskor's unprecedented history of Hip Hop, the fabulous folks at Fantagraphics are offering the two books in a mind-blowingly colorful slipcase, drawn and designed by the artist, featuring exclusive all-new cover art on each volume. As if that's not enough, in addition to the two books and the slipcase itself, Piskor has drawn a 24-page comic book — Hip Hop Family Tree #300 — specifically for this boxed set that elegantly reflects the confluence of hip hop and comics, which was never more apparent in the early 1990s than with the famous Spike Lee-directed Levi Jeans commercial starring Rob Liefeld, who went on to create Youngblood and co-found Image Comics, not to mention ending up on the radar of gangster rapper Eazy E. Piskor tells this story as a perfect parody/pastiche/homage to '90s Image comics.
about the Hip Hop Family Tree:
The lore of the early days of hip hop has become the stuff of myth, so what better way to document this fascinating, epic true story than in another great American mythological medium — the comic book? From exciting young talent and self-proclaimed hip hop nerd Ed Piskor, acclaimed for his hacker graphic novel Wizzywig, comes this explosively entertaining, encyclopedic history of the formative years of the music genre that changed global culture.
Originally serialized on the hugely popular website Boing Boing, Hip Hop Family Tree is now collected in a single volume cleverly presented and packaged in a style mimicking the Marvel comics of the same era. Piskor's exuberant yet controlled cartooning takes you from the parks and rec rooms of the South Bronx to the night clubs, recording studios, and radio stations where the scene started to boom, capturing the flavor of late-1970s New York City in panels bursting with obsessively authentic detail. With a painstaking, vigorous and engaging Ken Burns-meets-Stan Lee approach, the battles and rivalries, the technical innovations, the triumphs and failures are all thoroughly researched and lovingly depicted.
Piskor captures the vivid personalities and magnetic performances of old-school pioneers and early stars like DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the Funky 4 + 1, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, The Sugarhill Gang, and three kids who would later become RUN-DMC, plus the charismatic players behind the scenes like Russell Simmons, Sylvia Robinson and then-punker Rick Rubin. Piskor also traces graffiti master Fab 5 Freddy's rise in the art world, and Debbie Harry, Keith Haring, The Clash, and other luminaries make cameos as the music and culture begin to penetrate downtown Manhattan and the mainstream at large.
Like the acclaimed hip hop documentaries Style Wars and Scratch, Hip Hop Family Tree is an exciting and essential cultural chronicle and a must for hip hop fans, pop-culture addicts, and anyone who wants to know how it went down back in the day.
Ed Piskor is an alternative cartoonist living and drawing out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a former student of The Kubert School and is best known for his artistic collaboration with underground comics pioneers Harvey Pekar, his graphic novel Wizzywig, and his blockbuster series Hip Hop Family Tree. Piskor is revered for his combination of golden age drawing style and smart storytelling. The Washington Post once said that "Piskor is able to render a world that resonates as truth." Currently, he is knee deep in drawing the next book in the Hip Hop Family Tree five-volume series.

Management of Displaced Supracondylar Fractures of the Humerus Using Lateral vs. Crossed K-wires
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Completely displaced (Type III) supracondylar fractures of the humerus are treated in the operating room and are held together with pins stuck into the bone. There are two ways of inserting the pins: crossed and laterally. The crossed method is often used because it is thought to be more stable, but this method also carries a risk of hitting the ulnar nerve. It is not known which method is more stable. Our hypothesis is that loss of reduction will be equivalent between the two pinning methods.
Humeral Fractures
Procedure: Crossed K-wiring of supracondylar fracture of the humerus
Procedure: Lateral K-wiring of supracondylar fracture of the humerus
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Management of Displaced Supracondylar Fractures of the Humerus Using Lateral Versus Cross K Wires: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
- Loss of reduction between lateral K wires and crossed K wires in the treatment of supracondylar fractures of the humerus (at pin removal) [ Time Frame: Unspecified ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Functional outcome (3 years post-op) [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Rate of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury [ Time Frame: Unspecified ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1
Crossed K wire orientation for surgical management of a type III Supracondylar fracture.
Procedure: Crossed K-wiring of supracondylar fracture of the humerus
Closed reduction of the fracture followed by crossed K wire percutaneous pinning.
Active Comparator: 2
Lateral K wire orientation for surgical management of a type III Supracondylar fracture.
Procedure: Lateral K-wiring of supracondylar fracture of the humerus
Closed reduction of the fracture followed by lateral K wire percutaneous pinning.
Detailed Description:
Children with type III supracondylar fractures of humerus who meet the study inclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study by the on call orthopaedic surgeon. All patients will be required to provide informed consent. Patients will then be randomized through a random number software package and will commence immediately after confirmation of inclusion into the study. The fracture is reduced and fixed percutaneously either with crossed or lateral K wires, according to which group the subject was randomized to. Post reduction antero-posterior and lateral radiographs of the elbow are done in the operating room. Above elbow cast is applied. Radiographs are taken at follow-up visits to the clinic. The radiographs are measured to determine loss of reduction between immediate post-op films and films taken immediately prior to pin removal.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|3 Years to 7 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:

main index
"I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man, and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years—you never know what is gonna come through that door."
"In my shop, family comes first, and money comes second...depending on who you ask. But the best part? You never know what is gonna come through that door."Pawn Stars is a reality show on The History Channel about a three generation pawn store called the "Gold & Silver Pawn Shop" operating in Las Vegas (713 Las Vegas Boulevard South, if you're ever in town). It features historical and rare objects being bought and sold by a family of characters.The owner of the shop is Rick Harrison, a shrewd businessman who often finds the most obscure and sometimes bizarre things being brought to his shop to be sold. As he has been in the business for a long time and has other hobbies of his own, Rick is generally knowledgeable in music and American History (especially firearms). When presented with something that is outside of his expertise and/or needs a more detailed appraisal, he calls upon an assortment of experts who are Proud to Be a Geek, who are usually the ones giving the history lecture.A big part of the show, which anyone familiar with basic business sense would know about, is that Rick is generally not willing to purchase an item unless he can get it for about 60% of its market value, and that's not considering any additional costs such as restoration or cataloging, because otherwise he won't make a profit for himself. And not all items are brought into the store itself, as they are often asked to look over exceptionally large items or collections.Also on the show is Rick's father and co-owner Richard, known as "The Old Man". His purpose is to reprimand workers for being lazy, be the butt of old jokes, and tell When I Was Your Age stories. Rick's son Corey, known as Big Hoss, also works at the store and is learning the business in order to someday inherit the store (as of season 6 he's given a 5% partnership) - which leads to some father/son conflict. The fourth main character is Austin "Chumlee" Russell, a long time friend of Corey and the shop Butt Monkey, who is hinted to be smarter than he looks.Rick has taken quite a lot of old stuff to another guy named Rick, Rick Dale, who runs a Las Vegas antique restoration company in order to have it fixed up. As a result, the spin-off American Restoration was created, which shows them restoring old things like toys, gas pumps and vending machines. The series premiered on October 25, 2010.The popularity of Pawn Stars led to a second spin-off, Cajun Pawn Stars, which is basically Pawn Stars IN THE SOUTH! Rick and Co. are reportedly not pleased. It premiered on January 8, 2012.Yet another spin-off features the often-seen mechanic Danny "The Count" Koker as he and his team restore, customize and sell cars. Counting Cars premiered on August 13th, 2012. A Game Show spin-off, Pawnography, premiered on July 10, 2014, giving players a chance to win cash and items from the Harrisons' shop.It has now launched a British version (which Rick seems to like as he appeared in the first episode): Pawn Stars UK, which launched on that country's History Channel on August 26, 2013. This focusses on Regal Pawn in Chester, not too far from Liverpool.

Greg Stafford: I knew about D&D. I had a friend in Lake Geneva who was picking up abelt buckle catalogue at the printer and he saw another guy there and asked what it was. They guy said, A fantasy game. My buddy said, Hey, I have a friend making one of those. Can I buy a copy from you? And he did. Well, The guy was Gary Gygax and the gaming system the first copy of D&D ever sold. We read it but if you know that game, it was editorially terrible. At Chaosium we thought about a role-playing game with Glorantha as gaming world, but we needed a gaming system. I finally met Steve Perrin who had developed a gaming system and he created our system: RuneQuest. It was published in 1978.
There's been a lot of debate in the past as to the relevance of this fact, and the influence D&D would have had on Rune Quest (and Chaosium games) and potentially even all games which came after.
I'm after a pretty narrow answer, in a broader context:
- Narrowly, does the quote above, in the context of the above interview, or other evidence, bear out the claim that the first-ever sold copy came into Greg Stafford's possession about the time he had founded Chaosium?
- Broadly, for the sake of context, I'm interested in the influence of how Chaosium was an early influence on D&D. Certainly by the time of D&D 3.5, the game designers were talking about the great influence that RQ had on them, but what about before that? I've never found anywhere where Gygax and Arneson acknowledge that they had noticed the existence of Chaosium, but since RQ2 became D&D's chief rival, that can't actually be the case. How about earlier, say pre-1980? (This half of the qn is too broad to be a non-discussion question, but it explains my interest).

Traces in the Desert
Journeys of Discovery Across Central Asia

moreFor five millennia, the peoples and cultures of East and West have met and mingled in Central Asia. Its history is epic and compelling, its future rests on a fault-line of change and upheaval. For explorers and travellers it is a promised land, a region of white spaces on the map, forgotten cities, archaeological treasures, hidden oases and harsh deserts. Christoph Baumer has spent a lifetime travelling through the countries of Central Asia, hunting for traces of its shrouded past and making extraordinary discoveries along the way. _x000D_ _x000D_ Traces in the Desert follows in Baumer's intrepid footsteps as he finds evidence of Indo-Europeans in the steppes of Western Mongolia, discovers lost oasis cities in the Taklamakan - 'the desert of no return' - and unearths art treasures in Tibet. He investigates the remains of the pre-Buddhist Tibetan religion of Bön and the remarkable heritage of the Christian Nestorian Church, which stretches from Eastern Turkey into Tibet and Mongolia. He embarks on a quest to find Genghis Khan's long-lost tomb and has numerous, occasionally hair-raising, encounters with shamans, corrupt policemen and bandits. Enlightening and full of adventure, Traces in the Desert uniquely illuminates the hidden parts of Central Asia that have not just disappeared beneath the shifting sands, but also from the horizon of our memory. less

The Strange Love star gets hitched again – or does she? – in the Dominican Republic

At most, the event was more of a "renewal of their vows of love," says a Dominican legal expert. Still, it had all the trappings of a real wedding: The couple walked down a carpet of rose petals and everything was decorated in white and pink. They topped off the event by having dinner on the beach under the moonlight, PEOPLE reports.

Garden City, Kan. -- A Garden City man is behind bars after a standoff.
It happened Friday around 5:40 p.m. in the 2300 block of N. 7th St. Police responded to the scene on the report of shots being fired. After a brief standoff 28-year-old Aaron Findley was taken into custody without incident.
Police say that Findley and family members were in a verbal argument inside of the home. During the argument he went into the bedroom, grabbed a gun, and then went into the living room.
Findley made several threats and then fired the gun once inside the house. Two children and one family member were in the room when the gun was fired.
Detectives received a search warrant for the home and found numerous firearms and a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine, among other evidence. The total weight of the suspected cocaine was 15 grams.
Findley was booked into jail on 3 counts of attempted murder, 4 counts of criminal threat, 2 counts of endangering a child, 1 count of aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and trafficking contraband in a correctional facility.

This year, whatever you do, please spare your guests from having to drink eggnog, that ubiquitous, sickeningly sweet holiday glop. Instead, serve them something deliciously unique. We speak, of course, of glogg, the traditional (strong!) spiced beverage of Scandinavian origins. Not only does a good glass of glogg get the party started, but cooking it fills the whole house with an inviting aroma. For this recipe, I suggest using Zodiac vodka, a new product distributed by a company with Dallas ties. Zodiac is potato vodka that is rock crystal and birch charcoal filtered for premium smoothness.
1.5 cups red wine
1.5 cups ruby port wine
1 cup premium Zodiac vodka
6 pods green cardamom
5 whole cloves
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
2 cinnamon sticks
2 ounces slivered almonds
1.5 teaspoons raisins
Combine wine, port, and Zodiac vodka in a non-reactive pot. Add cardamom, cloves, orange peel, and cinnamon, and gently warm (do not boil) over low heat. Allow to steep for at least 20 minutes (longer is better). Serve in heat-proof glasses, sprinkled with almonds and raisins. Drink in small quantities. Prep time: approximately 5 minutes. Cook time: approximately 20 minutes. Makes 8 servings.

With a chance to put away the defending-champion Reading Royals tonight at Memorial Coliseum -- remember, the game starts at 6 p.m. -- the Komets want to set the tone early.
Click here to ready today's story.
By the way, the winner of this series will take on the winner of the series between Cincinnati and Orlando. Cincinnati, which had a 3-0 lead, is now up 3-2 with Game 6 at Orlando on Tuesday.
Even though they had success against Cincinnati this season, I think Orlando would be a more favorable matchup for the Komets, for many of the same reasons I thought Reading would be -- Orlando likes to play an up-tempo, end-to-end style and has suspect goaltending.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 267 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cassie13 Cannot be bettered This is a fantastic property. I have stayed here on five occasions and each time it just gets better. The position close to Embassy row and Lumpini Park, make it an ideal haven for holiday and business guests. The Club Lounge is the best I have experienced. Managed so capably by the wonderful Pun, who obliges and anticipates the guests wants, and the entire Club staff who are so able and efficient. I am always disappointed when my stay is over. February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2013 We always have a good experience here We often stay at the Athenee, and we continued to have excellent service and a great experience during our last trip. The service particularly in the Executive Floor is top notch. Our only complaints are that there should be a second chair or sofa in the room -- there is plenty of space; and there is often a pretty long wait to get a taxi. The breakfast as always is great. The pool is quite nice and the exercise room and sauna are excellent. May 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Abraham11 A wonderful hotel in a super lication As a "permanent" guest to this hotel, I am always delighted to see that the service in this "home away from home" is constantly improving. Even the new members of staff are extremely well trained and most courteous and efficient. As always I can say Thank You to ALL!!! June 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Dee991 not as good as the reviews suggested Poor check in and check out experience, especially at the Club level - slow response to questions, slow explanation why rooms not available, slow response to get a manager to speak to. Poor food service at Club. had to ask for utensils during breakfast. no food replacement during evening service though prior to end time. January 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sentimental Great Service and High Standar of cleanliness Great Service as always. Best amongst all Meridian Chain. The hotel is classic with high standard of cleanliness. July 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Good Stay but need to some improve. I stayed this hotel... It was very warm welcomm and good stay.. Front desk staff gave me Jasmin flower...it was great... But one thing is good to me.. Outside whether is over 27 degree. So I need to operate airconditioner even during sleeping, but airconditioner's pan made very big noise... While turn on the airconditioner I could not get a sleep, but while turn off the airconditioner also could not get a sleep...it was so hot.. I think...you need to consider about airconditioner's pan noise canceallation.. One more thing...I enjoyed club lounge... several days there are children with there parents..But some parents did not care what they do!!! So I expected staff of lounge handled them, but nobody care about that... They made some noise, running and some exercise with a chair.. For convinient environment...your staffs need to care more than now.. January 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ian0758 Excellent Hotel and Location The Hotel has always a warm welcome everytime i am staying there. The staff throughout the different departments always excel themselves. I stay in Le Royal Club rooms with Club benefits and find this package very good for my needs. I had visits while in the lounge in the evenings from the GM, Director of Human Resources, Catering Sales Manager, Front Office Duty Manager 'Fiat' and 'Marissa' at the front office who was most helpful. March 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ghostie This hotel has great STAFF.... The staff at this hotel is amazing. They have made us feel welcome, at home and very special, and that is everyone that we have come across, from Bellboys, reception, breakfast staff, chefs, gym, pool... We love the pool area, however, it does need a slight upgrade right now with timber work and edging of the pool, which is deteriorating. We feel this could also be an ever bigger highlight of your lovely hotel than it already is. June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by David555 Latest stay I stayed here between 18th and 22nd June, not my first visit but an outstanding visit. I am usually well looked after here but every member of staff I connected with was friendly, knowledgable and kind. The whole team gets a big thank you from me. June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bhutto55 The hotel where the staff care for you Whenever we go to Bangkok, we stay at Plaza Athenee. It is situated just about 5 minute walk from BTS, Phloen Chit. The room is large and very comfortable. The linens are clean and crispy. Almost all members of the staff know us by and even our room number to help us carry some stuff. The Sea Food buffet at the Rain tree restaurant was absolutely wonderful. May 27, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Trishrome14 An oasis of calm in the city that never sleeps! The staff do their utmost to make your stay an enjoyable experience. The decor and the light in the atrium provides a welcome oasis of calm in a pretty busy city. The quality of the rooms and of the staff is wonderful, everyone is very obliging and service is good and your restaurants excellent. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by skatr89 One of the best I like to stay and I will recommend my friends to stay. In terms of the mobile app and the member privileges, SPG has definitely the best compared to any other hotel groups. July 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Zaz1815 Medium satisfaction I paid for an upgrade to the Executive Floor and was surprised by the room I did not enjoy. Wifi did not work correctly during all my stay [3 nights] and I also experienced TV problems. Fitness centre was great, as well as breakfast on the ground floor, compare with the one provided at the ROYAL club located on the 26th Floor, featuring few things to eat. Members of team I met were very professional and friendly. January 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Victoria3140 Horrendous neglect I asked the concierge how to get to Siam paragon. He told me I should get off at the chitlom station and walk a bit because siamparagon is "in-between" the chitlom and Siam stations. And when I finally reached siamparagon, I realize it is right at the Siam station. Why the misguidance? I asked my laundered shirts to be folded, in writing and verbally, but sure enough, they came back on hanger. I asked how much it would cost to go in a taxi to airport, the front desk told me 700baht. I traveled with large family and needed two taxis, so would be looking at 1400baht in total fares. Told me to use the hotel van instead at 2500baht. I hesitated a while and finally went with two taxis - and eventually realized it was only 300baht each! Not sure if it was deliberate misinformation to get me to book the hotel van, but at the minimum the irresponsible quotation caused me much inconvenience - I actually exchanged extra money in anticipation of the 1400 taxi fees. The maid cleaning was sloppy. Left my clothes in piles and totally disorganized (that's why we needed the service!). I could go on but it was just horrendous experience - what a shame to such nice facility and location of the nice hotel! January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AZjohn Treat customers like a real guest Plaza Athenee is becoming my home away from home. It appears that several others have written their reviews the same as I am. From the moment you are greeted at the doors, at check in, and the numerous restaurants, all the staff treat me with sincere kindness and appreciation (which I truly appreciate in return). The facility itself has a class of elegance with the special Thai flare. The pool area is my personal oasis where I escape coming back from work. The breakfast is wonderful with the largest and diverse options I have ever seen. And numerous times, the management team has gone out of their way to introduce themselves and ask if everything is good with my stay. The entire team at Plaza Athenee has set a standard that no hotel for my business stay has come close to achieving, which makes me very thankful I found this hotel. Will be seeing everyone there again next Monday! July 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KingKong Good stay The reason why I rated the overall stay at 4 is becouse of two incidents which was really a put off especially when you are on a vacation. The attendant manning the concierge desk was very rude. I was not carrying my room key once (both the keys were with my wife) and I requested his help to let me go up the lift. This was made such a big issue as if I have committed a crime. Second: I requested a cab at the hotel enterance. When I was about to board the cab I was rudely told that I was second in the queue while there was no one else standing at the enterance gate. I had no intention to break the queu but how would I know that there is a queue if there is no one else standing and without me being told that I am second in queue. Apart from these two stray incidents we had a very good time at Plaza Athenee. Great and clean room, great breakfast, freindly (except for 2 service) staff. October 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Whitnel Great staff and customer service. The staff at the Plaza Athenee are always ready to help in any way they can. This attention to guests needs are reflected at all levels from housekeeping to personal attention from the GM. Top notch! June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RayFlyer Lost a litle of the luster? Always enjoy staying at the Plaza Athenee... old world charm... but feel it has lost a little of that charm. Maybe it's 'cause of recent changes to the SPG guest rewards program (room was not on Prefered Gust floor) or the hard economic times. Lounge staff not as friendly as before. Had lots of problems with the wi-fi conection... maybe 'cause my room was at the far end of the hall. January 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by VL11 Dissapointed Have stayed at Plaza Athenee a significant number fo times over the last 4 years to th epoint where numerous staff now know me by name. I have been a Platinum member with SPG for 10 out of the last 13 years. Sadly this time, when I used my points to book 2 rooms, I was told that only one room is eligible for club benefits. Apparently my loyalty to Plaza Athenee is not appreciated. December 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lencho47 Facilities vs. food service A wonderful hotel, large suites, enormous lap pool for swimming, the most attentive staff possible, excellent breakfast and happy hour in the lounge - but coffee house food is uninspired - why is the food in the lounge so excellent and the food in the coffee shop so mediocre? Perhaps they have different chefs? Location is pretty good, just a few steps from Ploenchit Sky Train stop. December 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by fetscherin excellence great stay, excellent, location and staff July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WindowSuite Just a great hotel On cash and points, this hotel is a huge steal. The pool is gorgeous and just the right place to relax after walking around sweltering Bangkok. The staff is super friendly. I am SPG gold now but wasn't at the time, but still had a high floor room. Lots of bottled waters and the beds were extremely comfortable. Located right near a BTS stop too. Would definitely stay here again. February 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by dayoff great hotel with great service from check in to check out, this place was great! overall friendly staff, althought conceierge and valet team seem to have some communication problem, as i had to tell several ppl that i was actaully waiting for a taxi! great club lounge and breakfast options. great location, close to BTS. and if you like to run outside, like myself, will enjoy approximity to Lumpini park. November 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by peter1147 A perfect hotel we stayed here for 3 nights and booked a club room. The hotel is lovely with great facilities. The rooms are comfortable and very clean with a great turn down service. The staff made our stay, they were excellent. They did everything they could to ensure we had a good stay. When we return to Bangkok we will stay here again. I would fully recommend this hotel. Perfect February 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bhutto55 A comfortable home away from home I like this hotel as I feel very welcome there. The staffs are nice and hospitable. The food is excellent and well worth the money. The room is very clean and linens are very crispy. June 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MCl3oy I Love It Everything was great at this hotel. The staffs, the food, the room. It's all perfect! June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrasG stayed many times and always a pleasure This hotel always recognises my Gold status well, and the staff are helpful and efficient. Good access to Sky train makes getting around easy. June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by John50 Outstanding Hospitality! I am a big fan of the Royal Meridien brand for some time. When the opportunity presented itself to once again stay in their property in Bangkok I jumped on it - I was not disappointed! Everything from pre-arrival communications, to outstanding hospitality, to great food and luxurious accommodations, this is the place to stay - especially with Club privileges. December 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tabatha007 First Class Business Hotel It is difficult to think of a better located property for the visiting businessmen. Indeed as a regular visitor to Bangkok and the property, it's harder to imagine receiving a warmer welcome. One tip and that's to take a Royal Club room as the related Lounge benefits are well worth it! May 5, 2014

The Daily Mail claim that the recently-cast Christoph Waltz will be taking over the role of the megalomaniacal villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Responsible for the death of Bond's wife, and renowned for some of the series' best hideaways (including mountaintops and hollowed volcanos), the villain has to be the Moriarty of the film franchise.
The last time 007 went toe to toe with Blofeld in the official film series was For Your Eyes Only, although he was unnamed (for legal reasons) and featured only in the pre-credit sequence. MGM/EON subsequently reacquired the rights to Fleming's famous character in 2013 when the McClory estate sold the rights.
Although Waltz is master-villain material, no evidence was let slip at the time of his casting that he would play Blofeld.
The Mail predicts a press conference (as is traditional at the start of shooting) but that the Bond family will not want their fans to know 007's nemisis is back. Write the reporters:
[Waltz] is playing an unknown character called Franz Oberhauser, son of the late Hans Oberhauser, a ski instructor who acted as a father figure to Bond…
Waltz, the paper's anonymous Hollywood insiders claim, will actually play Blofeld.
Fleming has an Austrian connection – he spent part of his youth in Austria and Switzerland and learned to ski and mountain climb in the country's mountains. Hans Oberhauser gets a mention in the novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
