The skies are a little dark but mostly dull.
Dark Skies is a supernatural horror film that will leave fans of the genre disappointed.
Lacy and Daniel Barrett's (Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton) suburban life with their two sons is turned upside down by terrifying and unexplainable events. It is revealed, perhaps too soon, that an unidentified being is after them. The film explores the family's search for answers.
Because the plot is eerily familiar, the film needed to have the element of surprise. Instead, too many moments feel overdone and tired. From birds hitting a window to the Barretts' younger son's strange drawings, there are few legitimately scary moments. Even the climax is somewhat unsatisfying — kind of like Russell's post-Felicity career.
The film also suffers from a general lack of purpose. Directed and written by Scott Stewart (Priest, Legion), the movie has tense build-ups and campy laughter in equal parts. Stewart can't seem to decide what kind of horror film he is making. That being said, the look and pacing is well done.
The one highlight of Dark Skies is the performances. Russell and Hamilton are both convincing and effective in their roles, as are their two on-screen sons played by Dakota Goyo and Kadan Rockett. J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, The Closer) is a solid supporting actor and helps give the film some last-minute weight.
Still, adept acting is not enough to save Dark Skies. Mrs. Barrett poses the question, "What makes us so special?" and we're left wondering the same about the movie as a whole.

Hi all
I'm going to be in HCM from 28/08 and since I'm travelling alone, I'd love some company. I'm fine with doing tours etc on my own but don't love the idea of going out for drinks or a night on the town alone. Since I'm not staying at a backpackers it's a bit difficult to meet people.
If anyone is heading out and would like some company, drop me a line.

Men and women across the Wiregrass have switched career paths to become firefighters. Graduation ceremony was held Friday afternoon and they told News 4 why they considered one of the most dangerous professions.
Barry Hicks is one of 14 firefighter students that have graduated from Dothan's firefighter candidate school. Middle-age, hicks has completely changed career paths.
"I've always wanted to be a firefighter, my father was a firefighter, it's always been in my blood, ever since I can remember I could hear a siren going off and I wanted to be there with it and I'm here now," said Hicks.
However being wasn't easy. Students must go through 12 weeks of rigorous basic training. Four of those weeks included EMT courses.
Students were also given written test, with only 24 hours of advance notice
"I've been out of school for about 15 years and it was hard to get back into a study routine," said Hicks
"They have to learn basic ladder principles from climbing ladders to rescuing victims. They actually rescue each other, they handled basic tools and equipment," said Capt. Chris Etheredge.
Even though 100 firefighters die a year, graduates say that's a risk they are willing to take
"Very much my heart is into this and it's like a dream come true to become a firefighter," said Tim Wright.
Firefighter training school occurs once a year in Dothan. There hasn't been a fatality involving a Dothan firefighter since 1943.

My wife and I were planning to backpack the skyline to the sea trail next week, and the ranger just told me all trail camps are closed until May. Does anyone else have any insite into this?In the past I've only done this during the winter months.
Was the case last year as well. I think (?) 2010-11 it was still open though. I suspect it's largely a budgeting issue.You may be able to negotiate parking at the end points and staying at the car camping campground in Big Basin. You could stay the first night at Castle Rock's campground (~3 mile hike in) to make it a weekend.
I am aware that Castle Rock is scheduled to close in 2012 but the camp closure is bad news. I have a week off after Christmas and thought I could devote a couple days to Skyline to the Sea.
Christopher...first I have heard of this and I live in the vicinity. One thing you might be able to do is just hike to Big Basin instead of staying at the trail camp. You will need a reservation at Big Basin in order to do so. The mileage to the camp is 19 miles and it is pretty much downhill to Big Basin. I did it and if I can surely you can do those miles in a day. That would leave you with a two day trip to get to Hwy 1. The second day is 12 miles which I finished by noon. It is a pretty easy hike. Please keep in mind the first day you are traveling along Hwy 9 for a good part of the morning
I did the trail 2 weeks ago. Yes the trail camps were closed so we just stealth camped a a mile or so before the headquarters. I suppose it could have been risky but we had smallish packs and stayed to the trail going through the headquarters. It was a day after that major windstorm so there was a LOT of branches and downed tree's on the trail. hopefully they've cleared em by now. if we had seen a ranger on the first day we prob woulda said we were gunna stay at the headquarters camp.. 2nd day maybe say we got dropped off and were going down to camp at the beach and walk back up the next day. Im not really sure what citation would be if we were caught? trespassing?
Jason, what did you do for parking? I never found a good spot to leave my car for stealth camping.
at the top we parked in this turnabout. (click street view.. we parked next to the callbox)http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q=37.257202,-122.118513%20%2827530–27718%20CA-9,%20Saratoga,%20CA%20%2095014,%20United%20States%29We drove around a bit and there were no 'no parking' signs anywhere on that side so we went for it. At the bottom from what i remember there didn't use to be 'no overnight' parking signs next to the main gate but there are now so we drove up and ways and found another little turnout that didn't have any signs. (click street view.. right next to the log)http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q=37.093209,-122.274536%20%283600–3622%20Cabrillo%20Hwy,%20Santa%20Cruz,%20CA%20%2095060,%20United%20States%29

By TOM LEA
MADISON – When NFL scouts come through the Wisconsin football facilities in search of sharing conversation with head coach Bret Bielema, they usually have nothing but high marks regarding senior tailback Montee Ball.
"I've had several guys comment to me this year that they thought he's the first back to go in this year's draft," Bielema said. "Many make the statement without a doubt."
Ball, just one touchdown away from tying the all-time career touchdown record, returned for his senior year after leading the nation in rushing (1,923) and total touchdowns (39).
He also finished fourth in Heisman voting.
The decision to return for his senior year was somewhat surprising, but Ball, at that time, said he might not be ready to leave the college game and he wasn't exactly thrilled with his third round grade from the NFL draft advisory committee.
Now, with 1,226 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns, it seems as though Ball made the right decision to return for his final year in Madison. Scouts, at least according to Bielema, tend to agree.
"I thought Saturday I saw some of those runs," Bielema, discussing Ball's 198-yard rushing performance at Indiana, said. "But I didn't get as good a view as I did on film. He even had to club a referee on one occasion to get where he needed to be. He pulled that foot out of a tackle. He was just angry. He was out of his mind. It was unbelievable.
"Again, there are a lot of good players around him, but I think Montee is going to be very, very happy on draft day."
Even though many will look at Wisconsin's game against Ohio State and render it meaningless, mostly because the Buckeyes aren't eligible for postseason play due to NCAA violations, the game means plenty for the Badgers.
When asked whether he would rest his players at any point over the final two weeks of the season, Bielema proved his point.
"This game? No," he said. "We're in a race that we're trying to win the Leaders Division crown. Ohio State is at the top of the list. We're in a race to finish at the top of our division and this opportunity this week is a chance to play the team that's at that number one spot.
"So I think I might have a mutiny on my hands if I tried to pull anybody out of this game this Saturday."
It's hard for Bret Bielema to analyze whether the Wisconsin-Ohio State rivalry has reached a new level with the arrival of Urban Meyer simply because that chapter has yet to be written.
Wisconsin hasn't played the Buckeyes since Meyer took over as the head coach, so though the fans and people interested in this game would like to make a lot of several off field incidents, namely Bielema's 'illegal' recruiting comment regarding Meyer, the Badgers head coach wasn't willing to declare the rivalry as one reaching new heights.
"There's a lot written in the offseason," Bielema said. "The unfortunate part about that is there's a lot to do about nothing. I only met Urban a couple of times before his induction into the league. One was a really enjoyable experience when he came here as an analyst. Really enjoyed sitting down with him and hopefully he did as well.
"So the part (overblown) is unfortunate."
Bielema did say the realm of the rivalry that has become more heated is rooted in recruiting. Since Wisconsin heavily recruits the state (wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni is UW's primary recruiter in that state) it's become quite a competitive environment.
"The kids know each other," Bielema said. "That builds up a little bit of animosity and some feelings out there more than anything. I've learned early on in my coaching career that you lose more friends in recruiting in the coaching world than you do on game days. I think Saturday's, you just kind of play, shake hands afterwards and move on.
"Recruiting, you wear that on your sleeve. That's something that's the life line of your program and a lot of times that's where feelings get very emotional."
GAME MVPs:
Wisconsin's best collective rushing effort in school history led to multiple offensive game MVPs for the Badgers.
Junior center Travis Frederick, junior left guard Ryan Groy, senior running back Montee Ball, junior running back James White and senior quarterback Curt Phillips were named offensive MVPs for their respective performances at Indiana.
"Those guys all played very, very well," Bielema said.
Defensively, Bielema and his staff gave Beau Allen, Ethan Armstrong and Devin Smith distinction. Kyle French and Kenzel Doe, meanwhile, earned it on special teams.
"French drove the ball into the wind and had a 4.2-plus hang time," Bielema said. "Kenzel Doe, he came in as a wide receiver and didn't catch all the balls statistically he thought he might be catching. He downed the ball on the one-yard line. He's a terror on kickoff coverage.
"He's doing a lot of really big things."
Offensive scout MVP: Alex Walker
Defensive scout MVP: Jake Rademacher
Bielema on whether he'd have an issue with people referring to an undefeated OSU as national champions if that were to happen?
"I haven't given that any thought. You know, as coaches, we all vote in the USA Today coaches poll. That's the only poll I'm involved in and that obviously prohibits us from ranking teams that are not eligible for bowl competition. So I really haven't given it much thought."

After a performance of My Rama is My All,
Sri Chinmoy talked about some scenes and ideals of this play.
Sri Chinmoy: My whole Rama play is about the human and the divine. Some individuals are all divine, but in some characters you have to play the human role. Each time a spiritual Avatar descends he comes with a new message. In Rama's case, he was identified with society. There was no competition between his reality and society. The main qualities that he manifested in his life were promise, obedience and sacrifice. These are called human morality.
The important thing is not to judge spiritual Masters. If you judge them, you will be totally confused and your aspiration will descend. They are far, far beyond our human judgement. When Rama and Sita returned from Lanka, Rama had to ask his wife to leave him. In Krishna's case, he asked Arjuna to kill his own relatives. If you use your moral judgement, you will disapprove of the actions of Rama and Krishna most vehemently.
But if an Avatar does not play the human role, who is going to follow him? One moment he has to play the role of an absolutely helpless human being. The next moment he has to be in his highest consciousness. Look at the Saviour Christ. When he was on the cross, he called out, "Father, why have You forsaken me?" At that moment, he was acting like a human being. Then, the next moment, he said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Before his disciples came to him, Sri Ramakrishna used to go up on the roof and call out, "Where are my disciples? Where are my children?" He would cry most pitifully. He was inseparably one with Mother Kali, but at the same time he was crying helplessly for his disciples to come.
When a spiritual Master is in his highest consciousness, he can go beyond and beyond. He is ever-transcending. But when he identifies with the human level then there seems to be so much contradiction. The same Supreme asks the spiritual Master to be kicked by human ignorance.
You know the famous story about the scorpion. A scorpion has fallen into the water. A spiritual Master shows compassion to the scorpion and puts out his hand to help it back to the water's edge. Then, naturally, the scorpion stings him. How ungrateful the scorpion is! When it is suffering and dying, the Master lifts it up, and immediately it stings him. Then, the scorpion falls back into the water. Again it is dying and again the Master tries to help it. Why does the spiritual Master do it? The very nature of the scorpion is to sting, but the spiritual Master is determined to help it. He thinks that one-day he will be able to transform its nature.
When you hold the tail of a dog, it is straight. But as soon as you release it, it becomes coiled again. Human nature is exactly the same; it is coiled. Spiritual Masters try to bring the Divine into human nature in the hope that again it will become straight.
The role of Sita has to be played as a blend of the human and the divine. In an absolutely human way she scolded and insulted Lakshmana. Sita was showing the human aspect at that moment. In other scenes, when she says such high, sublime things about Rama, at that time you can bring forward her divine aspect. But at that particular point, if Sita speaks to Lakshmana with utmost compassion, then the human aspect will not be there. So you are doing the right thing by showing anger. Rama also has to show his human aspect. If he does not show the human aspect, then why did he take human incarnation? He became one with humanity with the hope that he would be able to transform humanity. Why does he have to justify his actions to humanity when he is obeying the Supreme? Look at the way Lakshmana obeys his elders: he obeys his brother and he obeys Sita because he has taken Sita as his mother. Even when Sita insults him, he obeys her.
When obedience is needed, you have to show obedience. When promise is needed, you have to show promise. When sacrifice is needed, you have to show sacrifice. What more can Rama sacrifice than his wife, his dearer than the dearest wife? These three things – promise, sacrifice and obedience – are either on the human level or on the divine level, but everything is coming from the Highest.
You cannot say that at the foot of the tree what Rama is doing is wrong, while in the middle of the tree he is perhaps a little wrong and a little right, and at the top of the tree he is only right. No. At the top of the tree the Highest will express itself in one way. In the middle of the tree it will express itself in another way, and at the foot of the tree it is bound to express itself in a different way. If Rama is only right at the top of the tree, then how can there be a tree? If there is no foot of the tree, no trunk, only the topmost branches, what kind of tree is it? The life-tree is not like that. Again, on the life-tree there are so many flowers, leaves and fruits – each one has to play its individual role.
So, according to the receptivity of humanity, the spiritual Master has to fulfil his message of promise and obedience at every level. God is not bound. Otherwise you will have a fixed God. From your imagination you create an image of God. Imagination is reality, true, but you cannot bind the highest Supreme with your imagination. On the one hand, He is formless. On the other hand, He is with form. When He is with form, He takes millions of forms, countless forms. Perhaps you can see only one form and that form is fixed. Then if you see something else, you may say, "It cannot be God."
At home, a human father may wear shorts all the time. Then, when he goes to the office, he may wear a nice suit. You may not recognise him in his office clothes. You may say that he is your father only when he is wearing shorts. So God is also like that. He has millions of forms.
My Rama play is about obedience, sacrifice and promise. From these three qualities you have to understand the whole play. We cannot judge the great spiritual Masters like Sri Ramachandra and Sri Krishna. We want to see them with our human eyes, feel them with our human hearts. That is impossible.
Let us say you want to judge the operation performed by a great doctor. If you are a nurse, you may know a little, but again there will be a yawning gulf between your knowledge and that of the doctor. The knowledge that the nurse has is just a drop, whereas a doctor's knowledge is like an ocean. How can a drop judge the ocean? Similarly, the spiritual Doctor, God, can cure us in millions of ways if He wants to. And if He wants to have an experience in and through us, how are we going to judge Him?
The higher you go, the dearer becomes the message of surrender, promise and obedience. On each level, surrender takes a different form, promise takes a different form, and obedience takes a different form.

HAIM Goes Ham On "Wrecking Ball"
Be patient through the weird, gurgling intro and enjoy the girls' take on Miley's track. You'll love it. Or, at the very least, you'll like it more than you did the original. Or, maybe you will enjoy both versions an equal, modest amount — which is also okay.

Coming Soon: A Jordanian College Degree in Israel
Originators of plans for a local branch of the Al Ahliyya Amman University are working on a curriculum and a home for the institution. Education Minister Livnat is enthusiastic, though the Arab world is less so.
The guests who showed up in the office of the minister of education at the end of May were not a routine or predictable group: two businessmen from the Galilee village of Arabeh, a former director general of the Foreign Ministry, and a Jordanian millionaire who is a scion of a Palestinian family and owner of a private university.
Nor was their request routine or predictable, during the period of home demolitions in Rafah: to establish the first Arab university in Israel, with Jordanian funding and academic sponsorship, and with the option of bringing students from all over the Arab world.
The enthusiastic response of the minister of education wasn't exactly predictable either: "A reinforcement of the spirit of peace and a matter of national interest," was how Limor Livnat, who also serves as the chairwoman of the Council for Higher Education, defined the initiative, thereby opening a door to what is likely to be an historic step in the history of higher education in Israel and of Israel's relations with the Arab world.
Since that meeting, the initiators of the Arab university in Israel have been working nonstop. They plan to open the institution in October 2005, and have much to do before then, including choosing a building to rent from among an array of offers: the Jewish-Arab Center for Peace at Givat Haviva, the Carlton Hotel in Nahariya, a school in Kibbutz Beit Alfa, and a place in Nazareth or somewhere else in the north of the country that has room for 1,000 students, five departments and the necessary support services.
They also must begin marketing the new institution to the potential target audience, make a list of all those who have been calling to offer their services as teachers, reply to those who have criticized them in discussions on Arabic Internet sites, and most importantly, submit the academic program so that it will receive the approval of the Council for Higher Education (CHE).
Dr. Zvi Artzi, former head of the Wingate Institute who represents the professional side of the project, is the only skeptical one in the group, and is unwilling to volunteer details about the academic program before it is officially submitted to the CHE. For the other architects of the project, the successful meeting with Livnat is proof that the idea, strange as it sounds in the present atmosphere in the Middle East, is likely to succeed.
When Eitan Ben-Tzur, who served as director general of the Foreign Ministry during the terms of former prime ministers Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu, and who is the designated president of the Israeli branch of Al Ahliyya Amman University, starts to talk about establishing the institution, the spirit of Oslo in the air again.
University of peace
Expressions like "a university of peace," and "New Middle East" are heard frequently, but Ben-Tzur makes sure to emphasize that this time it is not only talk: "We are people of action, who think that coexistence must be implemented, and not only talked about."
Ben-Tzur draws a future picture of a university in which Israeli Arabs, Jews and Libyans will study side by side, dismissing "the profound skepticism, true agnosticism" with which the Israeli population treats any idea that includes cooperation between Jews and Arabs, since the outbreak of the Intifada. "Nothing brings together people from different places like living and studying together in a university," he says.
Brothers Nizar and Annan Darawshe, businessmen from the village of Arabeh who manage the New Middle East company and serve, among other things, as the Israeli representatives of Royal Jordanian Airlines, have been thinking about the idea of the Arab university - the Middle Eastern university, corrects Nizar Darawshe -for years.
There is a demand, says Nizar, because the Israeli universities aren't suited to the entire Arab population, and the Palestinian universities are for the most part considered to be on a low level, which causes large numbers of Israeli Arab students to go abroad to study in Arab countries.
First of all, he explains, many prefer to study in Arabic rather than Hebrew. Second, the psychometric exam that is a prerequisite for admission is for many an impassable hurdle, whereas in most of the Arab universities entrance requirements are based on matriculation exam grades only. Third, the minimum age for acceptance to certain departments in Israeli universities prevents Arab students from beginning academic studies at the age of 18. And the fourth reason is what Darawshe calls "the mentality in an Arab country, which makes the learning atmosphere easier. A student doesn't have to be afraid that he'll be taken off the bus for a security check."
In order to meet the demand, the Darawshe brothers began a project a few years ago of sending Arab students to study in Jordanian universities, while organizing the administrative side and providing stipends to those in need. At present the project includes over 700 Arab and Bedouin students, most of whom are studying at the Al Ahliyya Amman university, the first private university in Jordan.
In the context of work on the project, the connection between the Darawshe brothers and the owner and director of the university, Maher Hurani, became stronger, and they proposed to him the project of the new Middle Eastern university.
"This is the first university in the Arab world that was willing to give academic sponsorship to such an initiative," says Darawshe. Hurani's condition for cooperating on the project was that the Israeli government express its basic agreement to the initiative. Two attempts to meet with Livnat were postponed, once due to her illness and once because of the assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Darawshe says that the third successful attempt convinced Hurani that there was something to talk about.
The Hurani family is a well-known family in Jordan. Several Arab television networks broadcast a soap opera called "Empire," which tells the story of a family that started out penniless in a small village and became millionaires. That story is based on the life of the Hurani family: Maher's father, who was originally from the Palestinian town of Baka al Sharqiya, near Tulkarem, wandered all over the Arab world until he settled in Jordan and went into business.
Today the family corporation includes the Holiday Inn in Amman, a large dairy company, a successful pharmaceutical industry, and other businesses in Jordan, Lebanon and Dubai. The educational side includes the founding in 1990 of the Al Ahliyya Amman University, which maintains departments of pharmacy, law, computers and a future medical school, and the founding of an independent high school in Syria in partnership with the brother of President Bashar al Assad.
The dream: 40,000 students
The Huranis in general, and Maher in particular, are very involved in Middle Eastern politics. Aside from the connection with the brother of the Syrian president, there is also a friendly relationship with Libyan President Muammar Gadhafi, whose daughter studies at Al Ahliyya. Gadhafi comes once a year to visit his daughter at the university, where he donates a million dollars and lectures to the students about his philosophy.
Publicizing the idea of establishing a branch of the university in Israel has aroused angry reactions in the Arab world, says Darawshe. Syrian students who study at Al Ahliyya are threatening to leave if the idea is carried out. The trade unions in Jordan were also very angry, and someone wrote to Hurani on one of the Internet discussion sites that "You'd be better off getting an Israeli ID card for yourself."
But for now the threats and the condemnations aren't causing Hurani to regret his new initiative. "He's a pleasant and likable man, without bitterness or grudges," say Ben-Tzur. "He truly believes that we have to reach an agreement, and that the Palestinians have to set up a proper and efficient administration for themselves."
Darawshe, for his part, prefers to focus on those in the Arab world who are pleased with the initiative.
"Of course the Israeli Arabs are in favor, and there are large numbers of people who want to study with us, but beyond that, I sense a change in the atmosphere in the Arab world," says Darawshe. "We had discussions with Syrian students and Syrian lecturers at Al Ahliyya, and what I hear from them is not hatred for Israel so much as jealousy, because the economic situation in Syria is very bad. If a peace agreement is signed with Syria, in my opinion the Syrian students will be the first to come."
After the university is established, Darawshe is considering the possibility that Arab countries will pay for outstanding students to study in Israel, as they do with universities in eastern Europe.
In the first stage the Israeli extension intends to open five departments: psychology, computer sciences, English, law and speech therapy. This last field will be able to fill a great shortage of speech therapists and specialists in speech disorders in the Arab and Bedouin sector.
On a preliminary visit to Israeli, Hurani and the Darawshe brothers met with the president of Tel Aviv University, Prof. Itamar Rabinovich, and spoke about possible cooperation between the universities in the field, through student exchanges.
Ideas are already being tossed around for the later stages: Ben-Tzur dreams of a journalism department, and of a center for bridging and conflict solution, in which students from the entire Arab world will study.
Darawshe speaks of a department of Arabic and Islam, which will attract Jewish students from Israel as well as students from all over the Western world, with classes taught in English. They are dreaming of a large university, with 40,000 students. Another plan of the group is to establish a network of private high school in the Arab sector, like Sakhnin College in the Galilee.
Nizar Darawshe has an answer for the skeptics, who doubt whether an Arab university in Israel will be able to neutralize historic rivalries and attract students from the Arab world.
"When we came to Royal Jordanian Airlines, they didn't believe that Israelis would fly in planes belonging to an Arab company, and today nine full flights take off every week."
Whatever the case, it is clear that first of all, he thinks like a businessman. "We like to take chances," he explains. "Some people are talking about a railroad from Turkey to Egypt; we are talking about a university."

Petition to save the commissaries please sign
- 20 Replies
Here is a petition that was started to have the white house respond to the news that the commissary may be closed. It needs 10,000 signatures. Please help
no because congress has to vote to close the commisaries and that isn't going to happen.
there may be some changes to the commisary, maybe hours, prices, maybe beer and wine will be sold, but they will not close them.
I wish I had a bathtub like the people on tv.

Yippie-ki-yay, movie goers.
The long-awaited debut of the IMAX theater at Frank Theatres in York Township is set to open next week, with the latest iteration of "Die Hard" as its first movie.
"A Good Day to Die Hard" will hit the big screen at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
The theater at 2081 Springwood Road in the Queensgate Shopping Center in June announced it would be getting IMAX, which provides viewers with a larger screen, clearer picture and better sound.
General Manager Kevin Scott expected the screen would debut Nov. 16 with the release of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2."
But it didn't. Nor was it built in time for the much-anticipated "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," which opened Dec. 14.
The seven-month wait was caused by IMAX screens being installed in other Frank Theatres locations in Florida, New Jersey and North Carolina. Those jobs had to be finished before work could be done in York, Scott said.
Frank Theatres is the first to offer IMAX in York County.
A lot of customers have been asking about it, Scott said.
"People want it. They're amped up," he said.
The closest IMAX theater to York is in Dauphin County at the Whitaker Center for Science & the Arts in Harrisburg. There is also an IMAX theater in Lancaster County at Penn Cinema & IMAX in Lilitz.
At Frank Theatres the prices will be $15 for adults and $13 for children and seniors. An adult ticket for a movie at Frank's other screens is $9.
The IMAX theater seats about 215 people, and movie buffs are already reserving their spots for upcoming movies.
The theater is already selling tickets for "A Good Day to Die Hard," "Jack the Giant Slayer," which opens in IMAX 3D on March 1, and "Oz: The Great and Powerful," which opens in IMAX 3D on March 8.
"But the big one everyone is talking about is the Star Trek sequel," Scott said.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" opens nationwide on May 17, but it will open early in IMAX 3D at Frank's at 8 p.m. May 15.
Tickets are already on sale for the movie, even though it doesn't open for three months.
"There's a lot of anticipation," he said. "More people want that IMAX experience because it's so much better."

search serial or parralell relay cards
I honestly don't know what this would eb called,oreven if a car as old as mine (1992) will be able to have something like this. I want to have a few buttons on my computer that when pressed, will open my windows, unlock the doors, stuff like that. Possible? Do you need to buy some kind of special order hardware, or is it all done through simple wiring?
Are there any *FREE/CHEAP* programs that I can get to control these different things? Thanks ahead of time.
Btw, I ed but I only found something from (sorry but I forgot your username) the foreign exchange student with the white Saturn.
Deciding my next ride...
search serial or parralell relay cards
-Jesus- King of Kings Lord of Lords
ok, I read about 5 posts. While reading them I found this "Parallel Port Relay Board", link. Now what I *THINK* I read was that this relay board needs to plug into a parallel card, and the board needs to plug into a relay, and then download some sort of software.
However, I realy don't know what the hell is going on. I have a 1992 Camaro RS and I still don't know if my car is 'new' enough to have all these types of things.
Any DIRECT help (regarding 3rd gen camaros) will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Tool launched to exploit Wi-Fi WPS setup hole
updated 05:40 pm EST, Fri December 30, 2011
Open source and proprietary versions available
On Wednesday, the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) warned that Wi-Fi routers which used WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) PINs during setup might be vulnerable to a security flaw that exposed the devices to brute-force attacks by hackers. If successful, a hacker could take control of the router and have access to all devices connected to it. Now comes word that an open-source tool, Reaver, has been posted by a security company to facilitate exploiting the vulnerability (link).
WPS is intended to simplify the task of setting up and configuring security on wireless networks. Its purpose is to help homeowners and other non-technical automatically configure new wireless networks, add new devices and enable security. Most Wi-Fi routers shipped today come with WPS support. The vulnerability that has been exposed is that by a repetitive, brute-force continuous attack, the PIN used to set up the router can be retrieved by a hacker and then exploited.
It's estimated that such an attack can determine the PIN in less than four hours, the amount of time it would take to try all possible eight-digit combinations. On average, it would actually take less than half that time. Some devices have a lock-down feature that will temporarily block any new effort to enter a PIN after several failed attempts. However, even with this protection, the effort to crack the PIN can resume after a brief timeout, and the PIN can still be retrieved in less than a day.
The company that has created Reaver is Tactical Network Solutions (TNS). It's offering the exploit to demonstrate the weakness of WPS protection. TNS offers a commercial version as well, which can reportedly crack the code more quickly and has a user-friendly web-based front-end rather than a command-line interface. The company claims that it will only sell the commercial version to federal, state, and local government agencies for an undisclosed price.

As of Wednesday, April 10, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
WASHINGTON A Democratic and a Republican senator said on Wednesday they had struck a deal to expand background checks for gun buyers, boosting prospects for passage in the U.S. Senate of at least some of President Barack Obama's gun-control proposals.
The deal by Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania set the stage for a likely Senate debate on the gun-control package starting on Thursday, when the Senate is expected to defeat an attempt by conservative Republicans to block the bill from reaching the floor.
The proposal for expanded background checks appears to be Obama's best hope for meaningful gun-control legislation in the aftermath of the December massacre of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
The senators said their measure would expand criminal background checks for prospective gun buyers to include sales made at gun shows and online, although sales among friends or family members would still be exempt from the requirement.
The agreement, which the senators said would help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and the mentally ill, would close one major loophole in a system that analysts say allows as many as 40 percent of gun buyers to avoid background checks.
More controversial parts of the president's plan - such as a ban on rapid-firing "assault" weapons like the one used in Connecticut and limits on the capacity of ammunition magazines - appear to have a slim chance of clearing the U.S. Senate.
Even if the Senate passes a package of gun-control measures, it would still face a tough road to approval in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
"Today is just the start of a healthy debate that must end with the Senate and House hopefully passing these common sense measures and the president signing them into law," Manchin told reporters in announcing the agreement on Capitol Hill.
He said Democratic leaders have promised the background checks agreement will be the first amendment offered to the gun-control bill on the Senate floor.
Obama's proposals to curb gun violence have been strongly opposed by the powerful gun lobby the National Rifle Association, which did not immediately respond to the agreement.
The president's plan has been the focus of intense lobbying by gun-rights supporters such as the NRA and by gun-control advocates such as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group backed by Michael Bloomberg, the media magnate and New York City mayor.
Obama, who has described the day of the Dec. 14 Newtown shooting as the worst of his presidency, has used a campaign-style approach to pushing for gun-control legislation. No major gun-control legislation has passed the U.S. Congress since 1994.
Several family members of victims from the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown flew to Washington on Air Force One on Monday to urge lawmakers to take action, and First Lady Michelle Obama was scheduled to give a speech on guns on Wednesday.
Manchin's participation in the deal on background checks could bolster the prospects for the legislation. The freshman senator from West Virginia represents a state where gun ownership has long been passionately protected and where attempts to regulate guns have been strongly opposed.
Toomey, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania, said he did not believe expanding background checks amounted to gun control.
"It's common sense," he said. "What matters to me is doing the right thing, and this is the right thing."
Senators Mark Kirk of Illinois, a Republican, and Chuck Schumer of New York, a Democrat, also participated in the negotiations.
On Thursday, the Senate is scheduled to hold its first test vote on a gun-control bill. More than a dozen conservative Republican senators have threatened a filibuster aimed at preventing consideration of any gun restrictions.
But with public opinion polls showing up to 90 percent of Americans favor expanded background checks, other Republicans have said Obama's proposals should get a Senate vote.
The measure likely to pass the Senate could also include funding for school security and tighter restrictions on gun trafficking.
That package would fall short of what Obama had pressed for, but would be far more extensive than the NRA would like.

Never let a tragedy go to waste. No one in this article mentioned how this new legislation would have prevented the Newtown massacre. The killer used his mother's guns. Even if he had tried to buy guns, it seems he would have passed a background check because he did not have a disqualifying criminal or psychiatric record. This is just an attempt to make everyone feel better that won't stop determined psychopaths from doing their worst.
Wryone 2 years, 7 months ago
The 17th Amendment changed the path of this country forever. It was NOT intended for senators to be directly elected but appointed by the STATE legislatures. This kept them in tune with each state's directives, not national party alliegences. It constrains them and this was intentional and kept them more in line with their constituents, as intended by the Founder's. The Founders were suppressed by the Central Government (led by King George), they saw that central control diminished liberty and freedom and they witnessed the base qualities of some individuals (as we know see). That is why they designed a system of check and balances and the 17th Amendment was one in a series of changes made over time that have eroded the Original INtent and effectiveness of the system they designed. We are experiencing the difficulties and complications intentionally avoided by the Founders, because we can't keep our paws off the Constitution. At this rate, we will have no Bill of Rights left in a few years.

Expanded Background checks will accomplish little as long as medical histories are shielded by privacy laws. Something our Congress put in place years ago to stop insurance companies from choosing their preferred clients, and not insuring high cost cases. What do you accomplish by checking the background of an individual when there are so many records unavailable for referral due to laws and poor record keeping in general?

BEIJING – China is getting its exchange-rate adjustment whether it likes it or not. While Chinese officials have announced their intention of letting the exchange rate move, only time will tell whether their talk is accompanied by deeds. In the meantime, manufacturing workers are voting with their feet – and their picket lines.
Honda has offered its transmission-factory workers in China a 24% wage increase to head off a crippling strike. Foxconn, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer for Apple and Dell, has announced wage increases of as much as 70%. Shenzhen, to head off trouble, has announced a 16% increase in the minimum wage. Beijing's municipal authorities have preemptively boosted the city's minimum wage by 20%.
The result will be to raise the prices of China's exports and fuel demand for imports. The effect will be much the same as a currency appreciation.
China should count these wage increases as a measure of its success. Higher incomes are an entirely normal corollary of economic growth.
The only difference in China is that the adjustment has been suppressed, so it is now coming abruptly. It would have been better had Chinese officials encouraged earlier and more gradual adjustment, and if adjustment had come through currency appreciation, which would have enhanced workers' command over imports, rather than inflation, which will make no one happy. But that is water under the bridge.
With exports of manufactures becoming more expensive, China will have to grow by producing something else. It will have to move away from a strategy in which manufactures are the engine of growth toward the model of a more mature economy, in which employment is increasingly concentrated in the service sector.
China will never rival India as an exporter of high-tech and business services, because it lacks that country's large population of native English speakers. But it has ample scope for expanding the supply of personal and business services for a desperately underserved, increasingly prosperous domestic market. This is a point that Morgan Stanley's chief economist Stephen Roach makes in recent new book, The Next Asia.
The good news, as Roach observes, is that the service sector places less burden on natural resources and creates more employment than manufacturing. The former is good news for China's carbon footprint, the latter for its social stability.
But the bad news is that the transition now being asked of China – to shift toward services without experiencing a significant decline in economy-wide productivity growth – is unprecedented in Asia. Every high-growth, manufacturing-intensive Asian economy that has attempted it has suffered a massive slowdown.
The problem is more than just the tendency of productivity to grow more slowly in services than manufacturing. Service-sector productivity growth in formerly manufacturing-heavy Asian economies has been dismal by international standards.
In both Korea and Japan, to cite two key examples, the problem is not simply that productivity in services has grown barely a quarter as fast as it has in manufacturing for a decade. It is that service-sector productivity growth has run at barely half the rate of the United States.
Why is this? In countries that have traditionally emphasized manufacturing, the underdeveloped service sector is dominated by small enterprises – mom and pop stores. These lack the scale to be efficient, the ability to exploit modern information technology, and the capacity to undertake research and development. In Korea, less than 10% of economy-wide R&D has been directed at the service sector in the last decade. This stands in sharp contrast to the US, where half of all R&D is associated with services. Enough said.
In both Korea and Japan, large firms' entry into the service sector is impeded by restrictive regulation, for which small producers are an influential lobby. Regulation prevents wholesalers from branching downstream into retailing, and vice versa. Foreign firms that are carriers of innovative organizational knowledge and technology are barred from coming in. Accountants, architects, attorneys, and engineers all then jump on the bandwagon, using restrictive licensing requirements to limit supply, competition, and foreign entry.
One can well imagine Chinese shopkeepers, butchers, and health-care workers following this example. The results would be devastating. Where value added in Chinese manufacturing has been growing by 8% a year, service-sector productivity is unlikely to exceed 1% if China is unlucky or unwise enough to follow the example of Korea and Japan.
Employing workers in sectors where their productivity is stagnant would not be a recipe for social stability. China needs to avoid the pattern by which past neglect of the service sector creates a class of incumbents who use political means to maintain their position. Perhaps China will succeed in avoiding this fate. Here at least may be one not-so-grim advantage to not being a democracy.

Freed after spending two years in a Nicaraguan prison, Tacoma resident Jason Puracal will share his story at the Seattle University School of Law next Monday. Puracal's sister Janis, a 2007 graduate of the law school, devoted herself to representing and freeing her brother, who she said was wrongfully convicted of money laundering and drug trafficking despite conclusive evidence of his innocence. The trial proceedings were rife with violations of Nicaraguan and international law, and he suffered abuses of basic human rights during his detention.
Now that Puracal is home and reunited with his family, he will speak about the pervasive criminal justice problems in Nicaragua and urge institutional and legal reform in that country.
The School of Law's International Human Rights Clinic is currently advising Puracal on international legal strategies for redress. That effort is led by Professor Tom Antkowiak, who teaches the clinic and directs the law school's Latin America Program.
The event is free and open to the public.
WHEN: Monday, October 22, 2012 12 p.m.
WHERE: Sullivan Hall (SU School of Law Building) Room C-5 Corner of 12th Ave & Columbia St.

Reid Priddy is a fiercely competitive volleyball player. It is that approach that has helped him have a long and prosperous career in professional volleyball and be part of the United States national team for 12 years, allowing him to represent his country in three Olympic Games. That on-court ferocity has helped Priddy develop in his spiritual life as well.
"It was right before the 2004 Games when I felt God really freeing me up to be a fierce competitor," Priddy recalls. "Ferocious is the word that summed up the passionate competitiveness that is how God made me. Unleashing that to go out on a day-to-day basis and try to win and be the best I could be was a huge breaking point for me.
"Volleyball has been a major way God communicates life lessons to me," Priddy continues. "They go hand-in-hand; what I'm learning on the volleyball court I am able to apply in life and vice versa."
"They can turn into big things if they go unchecked"
Priddy sees the comparisons between growing as an elite-level volleyball player and growing in one's spiritual maturity.
"As you start out, you are at a certain level. Then as you mature a lot of little bad habits and inconsistencies in your game get exposed. They are not necessarily huge things, but they are technically bad in your approach as a volleyball player and chances for you to be lazy, and they can turn into big things if they go unchecked," he says. "The same can go for your spiritual life. You don't want the little things to add up there either because it affects your overall life."
During the maturing process either as a player or as a Christian, there is always a lot of room for character development and spiritual growth to happen.
Priddy relies on the discipline he has learned on and off the court to build relationships with others. It is these relationships that have seen Priddy through his 12 years on the U.S. national team as well as a lengthy professional volleyball career spent mostly in Europe.
"I was sort of a hermit"
The reality of how important relationships are to Christians hit Priddy early in his career abroad.
"It was almost like I was in isolation. It gets lonely really quickly," says Priddy. "I was sort of a hermit and wasn't relating to people around me. I was sort of learning under a particular theology that was very black and white and that was safe and comfortable; all you needed to do was learn the rules and try to stay within that.
"I saw myself becoming an island, having no effect on anybody and letting nobody else have an effect on me."
Priddy re-connected with some of his college friends from Loyola Marymount who were continuing their education at Biola University. They encouraged him to consider the freedom Christians have within their relationship to Christ.
"Instead of thinking of this as a mission field, I'm just trying to be a complete person," Priddy says. "I want to live out my beliefs and build relationships. I think establishing those relationships and developing a brotherhood of love, respect and caring seems to be the most important thing.
"There are always opportunities to show God's love," Priddy continues. "My teammates have seen me at my best and my worst. I just want to continue to grow those relationships and to be really concerned about their growth and development as people as well."

If you've yet to play the horror-in-space that is Dead Space, then this is the perfect opportunity. Steam are offering 75% off, both individually or as a pair.
Buying both the games together will set you back £6.24. Alternatively, Dead Space by itself is £2.50, while Dead Space 2 is £3.75. The deal is valid from now until Monday 16 January.
Both games scored 9/10 here on IncGamers, despite my (correct) belief that Dead Space 2 is not even a survival horror game. Still a good game, just not a scary one.
Anyway, you can find the Steam deal here.

Congratulations to Summer 2013
People & Planet Award winner Nancy's Gone Green!
Founded by mother-daughter team Nancy and Mary, Nancy's Gone Green is an eco-friendly online boutique devoted to bringing you the best in ethical fashion. We offer a one-of-a-kind shopping experience to make you feel beautiful, optimistic, and connected to your purchase. We work with dozens of established and up-and-coming designers to bring you finely-crafted collections that are organic, recycled, Fair Trade or made-in-the-USA. We also offer a tastefully curated selection of pre-loved styles, as well as a locally made collection of upcycled designs.
Our aim is to make eco-friendly dressing an appealing option for any fashionista, and provide a great selection of designs that are accessibly priced - mostly under $100.
Our Style
Gone are the days when organic clothes were bland, boring, and beige. In our shop you'll find bright colors, bold prints, feminine cuts, and clever details. Together, fifty-something Nancy and twenty-something Mary choose chic and artful pieces that defy throwaway trends and delight women of all ages.
Our Ethics
We love fashion. But we hate the sweatshops, child labor, harmful chemicals, and pollution that are too often the byproducts of our industry. We believe in protecting our planet and the people who inhabit it. Every product at Nancy's Gone Green is made from natural, organic, or recycled materials -- often a combination! Every product is either made in the USA or produced outside the country according to fair labor practices. We use a system of "eco icons" to tell you about the ethics behind every product.
Our Story
Nancy and Mary got their start selling vintage and pre-owned clothes and accessories online. They quickly fell in love with the process, and knew that they wanted to turn their mutual hobby into a full-fledged business, incorporating both new and recycled products into their offerings. The duo had always been nature-lovers and environmental advocates, so it was only natural for them to seek out eco-friendly products. They began researching designers who incorporated ethics into their work, bought their first collection of organic clothing, and in 2008, Nancy's Gone Green was born. Since then our collection has expanded a hundredfold, but our mission remains the same: offer great style, at a great value, that our customers can feel great about purchasing.
The People & Planet Award
We're currently developing our own organic clothing line, made by a group of women artisans in a poor area of Nepal. We'll offer the collection directly on our Web site -- with no wholesaling -- so our artisans will be well paid, and we'll be able to offer you a fantastic value with every single piece under $100. The styles are modern, playful, and figure flattering, in a great range of colors, in luxuriously soft organic fabrics. We are so excited to bring this gorgeous collection to life -- and winning this grant will accelerate the process.

|Coexistent parathyroid adenoma and thyroid papillary carcinoma in pregnancy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21512735 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnant women is a rare antenatal complication. Maternal symptoms include nephrolithiasis, bone disease, pancreatitis, hyperemesis, muscle weakness, mental status changes, and hypercalcemic crisis. Fetal complications comprise intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, preterm delivery, intrauterine fetal death, postpartum neonatal titanic crisis, and permanent hypoparathyroidism. CASE: A 23-year-old gravida was referred to our clinic with severe hyperemesis and weight loss at 32 gestational weeks. She was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism because of parathyroid adenoma and treated with surgery where a synchronous thyroid papillary carcinoma was detected. After right parathyroidectomy and right subtotal lobectomy of the thyroid, the patient was stable and laboratory and clinical findings normalized. The fetus' state was monitored via reassuring non-stress cardiotocography and repeated sonographic exams until birth. Delivery was induced at 35 weeks of gestation because of preeclampsia. CONCLUSION: Parathyroid adenoma in pregnancy is a rare maternal condition with potential impact on the advancing pregnancy. Generally, a surgical approach is recommended with thorough inspection of the thyroid gland so that any irregular structure might be removed during the same surgical intervention for diagnostic reasons. In this reported case, a coexistent papillary carcinoma of the thyroid was detected accidentally and removed successfully.

Asian Noodle Salad
*Read all about the inspiration for this weekly blog series by clicking here!*
Things that scare me: centipedes, dill, the sixty seconds that follow after you drive away from a tollbooth (why are there never any lane lines?!), American cheese, animals dressed as humans (just kidding…name that TV show!), running out of parmigiano, and lastly…
…Asian recipes from twenty year old magazines. Not necessarily in that order.
So I was a little worried to make another Asian dish from an old issue of Bon Appetit. Maybe I was pushing my luck a little bit with this. But the first recipe was a winner so I decided to just go for it.
After all, the ingredients sort of spoke for themselves. Soba noodles, sesame oil, cilantro (lots of it!), spring onions, jalapeno, soy sauce, vinegar, and most importantly, lots and lots of crushed peanuts.
Crushed peanuts are my favorite, forever and for always.
When a dish is this simple, it all boils down to balancing the flavors and making sure one ingredient isn't overpowering the next.
I can't tell you how tempted I was to mess with this recipe. I kept wanting to add more and more–namely fresh lime juice, possibly a dash of fish sauce, sriracha, you name it. Just MORE!
But I held myself back. Mostly because it really doesn't need anything else and part of the beauty of this salad is that it is so simple. It is delicate, but still leaves you wanting some more.
If you had an extra fifteen or twenty minutes in the morning, you could totally throw this dish together to pack up for lunch or even get ahead on dinner plans that evening.
Even though I usually crave warm meals at this time of the year, it's sort of a nice change in pace to have a cold salad every now and then. Especially if you used this as a base for a more substantial meal and topped it with marinated salmon, shrimp, or grilled tofu.
Plus, it's supposed to be 70 degrees here on Sunday and I'm sort of freaking out about that. What is happening with the world?!
Asian Noodle Salad
Yield: 4 Servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
- 1/2 lb dried soba (Japanese buckwheat) noodles
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 large spring onions, sliced thinly on a diagonal
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded, veins removed and finely minced
- 3/4 cup toasted, unsalted (or lightly salted) peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt. Add the soba noodles and cook until al dente (just firm to bite). Drain and rinse noodles under cold water. Allow to drain and set aside in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and salt, until sugar has dissolved completely.
- Pour sauce over noodles and toss to coat evenly. Add the cilantro, jalapeno, peanuts, and sesame seeds and toss gently. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Salad can be prepared up to a day in advance, but can be served immediately (it does taste better after sitting for 30 minutes or longer though). Garnish with additional peanuts, cilantro, and spring onions if desired. Best served cold.
Recipe (tweaked slightly) from 1994 issue of Bon Appetit magazine.

Is this really super good? I was thinking I could make this for the Riley's.
It was very good! You could definitely add things to bulk it up too. But if you're making it for dinner, I would suggest adding a protein on top!
What a beautiful salad – amazing ingredients!
Thank you Liz!
Laura — these pictures are just stunning and those noodles look amazing. Looks like Bon Appetit is serving you well. I fall in love with you blog a little more each time I visit, you've got some serious talent girl!
I'm not going to lie, I've had a few fails since I've started the series, but I don't want to post bad recipes–so you don't end up seeing the bad stuff ;). Thank you so much Nicole! You are so sweet—and that means a lot.
Laura – this salad looks yummy. Perhaps you could make some over the Xmas for us all.
I'm not sure if this salad will fit into the Davidson meal plan!! It seems to be all figured out
Gorgeous pics & I love noodle salads! Pinned
Thanks Averie!
I love how simple this recipe is! I bet the flavors really come alive. And you made me laugh out loud about leaving toll booths and there being no lane dividers, ha! So true!
Why is that?!? Every.single.time. It's like we're auditioning for Nascar or something, haha. Thank you Natalie!
Noodle salads are the best….loving all the flavors happening here! Can we talk more about this dill fear?!?!?!??
Hahaha! This comment made me crack up. I just can't do dill–I mean I can occasionally in small doses but ugh. I think I once had a dish that was totally over-dilled (new verb?) and it scarred me for life.
This noodle salad looks so scrumptious, Laura! Absolutely gorgeous photos, too!
I ate a LOT of it, haha. Thank you so much Georgia!!
70 degrees on Sunday?? I'm moving in.
And I love love love cold Asian noodle dishes — this one looks so perfectly delicious!
Now it says 72! So wacky. I think this is the only week in the year (Christmas week), that I'd actually take cold and snowy weather over the warm stuff.
Wish you could visit though!
Asian foods are my obsession right now. I cannot stop making them and this salad is next. Gosh, it is GORGEOUS!! These photos!! Next email we need to trade tricks!
And 70!! What the heck! It is Christmas, that is not right!
Obsessed with all things Asian too. Have been for about a year now–I crave it constantly. Your winter rolls today didn't help matters.
And yes!!! This weather is not right. I need some of that Colorado snow. Happy to chat, as always 😉
Hahaha, love your list of things you're scared of! Driving away from the tolls never struck me as scary before but now that I've read it I feel like I'll definitely be terrified next time. This salad looks absolutely amazing, gorgeous and refreshing — and I love your bowls!
Oh no!!! I've misplaced my irrational fear onto you. Seriously though, I don't get why there are no lines. Thank you!! The bowls were on sale and from West Elm. Love them too.
Your pictures are beautiful and the noodles look very yummy!
Thank you so much Layla! Hope you had a great weekend!
I am always looking for good lunch ideas, and this recipe really fits the bill. Thanks!
I love the nutty flavour of buckwheat noodles and I love that this is vegetarian! Yummy!
Thank you Mallory!!!
Soba noodles, they can count as my newly found food obsession of 2013, and this recipe is exactly how I like them! And I have a mad love for peanuts too! We had a 98º Christmas this year, so 70 sounds like heaven! Happy 2014 Laura! And I love that first pic.

You are taking her words too literally

A lot of these entertainers have to create a persona and use props and scenarios to help sell themselves as a product. She is a talented, wonderful and engaging human being. That's all there is to it.
At the end of the day, she is just as laid back as you or I am

Accused told to 'sing a funeral song'Comment on this story
Malalane - An Mpumalanga magistrate told a man facing a number of charges that he should be singing a funeral song because he was already heading to his end.
Innocent Ngomane, 27, of Matsulu township outside Mbombela, pleaded not guilty to two charges of motor vehicle theft and robbery when he appeared in the Tonga Magistrate's Court on Friday, a Sapa correspondent reported.
"I am transferring your cases to the Tonga Regional Court opposite to this one where they are going to cook you well, my boy," senior magistrate Sam Nkuna told Ngomane.
The magistrate jokingly said he thought Ngomane would sing "Nyathela Kancane (Step Lightly)", a song popularly sung at funerals.
"I thought I would hear you singing this funeral song 'Nyathela Kancane' because you are almost there," said Nkuna.
Ngomane allegedly committed the offences in November 2010 at Langeloop Trust, where Enoch Shabangu was robbed of his Volkswagen Citi Golf.
Prosecutor Frederick Mhelembe told the court Ngomane first appeared in the same court on November 28, 2010, when he was granted R700 bail.
"You failed to come to court three times until a warrant of arrest was issued on June 22, 2011, until you were arrested on April 22, 2014," said Mhelembe.
Ngomane is also one of seven people accused of killing Constable Sfiso Mtsweni, who was shot dead at his home in Langeloop, south of Malalane, on November 8, 2013.
He has been remanded in custody in both cases. Nkuna postponed the case to June 27 for the trial to start in the regional court.
