Great early work from the groovy Claus Ogerman! You might call this Latin – but it's more hipster go-go music, with a full-on sax section performing a nice set of tight choppy instrumentals, all conducted by Claus! The album's got a pretty darn groovy sound – lots of swinging rhythms and a great little groove that makes us really love this one! Titles include "Always", "Nightmare", "King Of The Road", "My Honey's Lovin Arms", "Bewitched", and "Apples & Bananas". (Sealed 60s pressing!) © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.

My Forever Home Animal Rescue
My Forever Home are running another show… hoping for better weather this time!
It took us quite a little while to recover from the trauma of almost ending up in Oz at the last show we had in 2013, so abysmal was the weather! We do love a challenge though, so when one of our newest fab fosterers asked if we could take over organising the dog show at a larger event her committee was putting on, because the original guys had dropped out, well what could we say but yes?
So on Sunday 14th June 2015, MFH will be holding another fabulous show, complete with rosettes galore, fabulous goody bags to winners, a really beautiful Best In Show sash and rosette, and of course a trophy!
More info here, including location and a schedule with full list of classes, as well as details of the two day festival our show is part of, the Longwood Canal Festival… it promises to be a great weekend, so whether you have a dog to show off or not, why not grab the kids and head on over?
MFH will also have a fabulous stall there on both days, with the ever popular 'prize every time' tombola, lovely raffle prizes, and I'm sure a few of our gorgeous dogs will be putting in an appearance. So don't forget your dog treats… see you there!
Welcome to My Forever Home Animal Rescue, and thank you for visiting our website. My Forever Home is a small all-animal rescue operating initially on the West Midlands/Staffordshire border, and in Manchester, with plans to extend nationwide in the future (some way down the line, possibly after a large lottery win!).
We are supposed to be a nation of animal lovers but judging by the daily neglect which shows itself in the huge number of dogs taken to stray pounds, the amount of dogs people pass on via completely unregulated 'small ads', together with the truly awful acts of animal cruelty occasionally reported in the news, you would never believe it.
For example, did you realise that stray dogs can and are put to sleep (PTS) just seven days after arriving at the pound? We have been amazed that this is such an unknown fact, even amongst animal owners. Out of more than 126,000 estimated strays, from the Dogs Trust's 2011 Stray Dog Report, over 7,100 were put to sleep, which means that on average, 20 dogs die every single day of the year. As not all local authorities respond to their questionnaire however, we believe the real figure to be much, much higher. When did an animal's life become so worthless?
MFH looks forward to the day when no animal is put to sleep simply because of a lack of space or money. This is what we work towards, in a variety of ways. We will help some of these unwanted animals find new loving homes, and will also work to change people's attitudes towards animals, which after all have feelings and characters of their own as every pet owner knows.
We may be starting out small but we are doing this the right way, and definitely have big long-term ambitions. We would love you to read more about our aims and objectives.
We very much hope you enjoy looking around our website and will support us in whatever way you are able. We are very grateful indeed of anything and everything our supporters do for us; whether it be financial, moral, or practical help it is all equally appreciated and also equally needed. All of us at MFH would like to say a heart felt 'thank you' and we promise we will never take you for granted or ask for more than you can give.
We would also love to hear your opinions and suggestions about ways we can improve our website; it is very much a 'work in progress' right now! In fact as we've been so busy helping animals since we started in the summer of 2011, the website has been sadly lacking in being updated! We're now going to be doing a complete overhaul, moving to a new template, when we get a chance, which will then have information about many more of the 60+ cats and dogs we've helped – and we couldn't have done that without you, so thank you
Very few if any people will ever give you the unwavering devotion your pet shows you without question every day. Together we believe we can help more people realise just how rewarding it is to share your life with them. Thank you once again for visiting My Forever Home, and for loving your animals as you do.

I just found out that my baby-sitter is letting my 12 month old son sleep from 9-11 in the am and then AGAIN from 1-4 in the afternoon.
I usually put him down to sleep for 7pm amd he is waking up at like 5 am, and won't sleep for more than 2-3 hours straight in the night without waking up and having to be settled back down (find his teddy, cover him again, rub his back, etc.) I am a full time working mom, and I'm also 12 week pregnant with number 2. I am operating in a continued state of exhaustion. So this morning I asked my sitter, to TRY and limit his napping to 3 hours.
My question is this: How much sleep do your 12 month old's get? Do they sleep all night? And straight throu the night? Also, any suggestions on this dilema would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

I Feel Unwanted And UnappreciatedI am 41 and some days I am ok and other days I am not ok. There were so many love stories and I felt excluded. Unwanted. Unadored. It brings me down. Men don't really look at me either and if they did, I didn't noticed them. I am ok looking. Small. Dress nice but my persona need a good makeover.
So many people says you will find someone one day. My mom never tells me that neither did my sister. I feel like they never wanted me to meet a man. I feel like that they don't think I am good enough to have a boyfriend and they both have partners. It hurts. They never say anything nice like you are beautiful, smart, funny, sweet, kind and I know that a man will one day gets you as you.
My brother and my dad never says how pretty I am either. They never said I am ugly either.
I feel so broken inside.
Thanks for listening.
I get that
I'm not an 10 & Not perfect I'll take a 5 middle & work my self to an 8 I'm not better than anyone else.. yes In time there will be clean & improved version of me ..kinda like taking an old favorite hot rod that's in fixable condition not some rotted out junk destined for scrap giving it clean paint job tweeking the engine up a notch making sure it runs cool keeping kool during hot days to enjoy the ride looking good in it somebody going take a Good look And ask about it feeling good some likes it ....just smile !
if you think you look OK, you must be very good looking. girls are always very very self critical!
perhaps you just don't pay attention to guys? :)
this was almost two years ago, how do you feel now?
i'm wonderful thanks :) why are you depressed? perhaps you could start with that?
why would you hate people? can't you love them all? :)
life is happiness :) to live is to pursuit happiness :)
you're still downish?
Babe keep your head up!!! And start loving yourself! !! You sound like a beautiful person!
Start believing in yourself and don't let no one get you down! You don't need anyones approval!

I listen to Marketplace Tech every morning, which airs on the local NPR affiliate. Molly Wood sometimes does it, and if you're a nerd and you used to listen to the Buzz Out Loud, you're a fan of Molly Wood. She knows her shit.
One of the other hosts was on today, I know it's Molly because of the voice, the other ones sometimes blur together to me, and closes the show with a segment on how Yelp is more useful than the Michelin Guide.
This ... is pretty fucking scary. Not only because it's not true, but Yelp! is a bad company that you should not support. The fact that their extortion practices are considered legal does not make those practices right.
The argument put forth by the Marketplace Tech edition (which you can listen to here) is that Yelp! is more accurate because it's a "person" leaving the review, and the Michelin Guide review is short and kind of vague.
I can't speak to the Michelin Guide's reviews, but the fact that it's existed for as long as it has, is still used today, and any allegations against it have been very country specific and minimal, I'm willing to bet it's easily more reliable than Yelp!.
Because there's an assumption being made that what you're reading on Yelp is real, and it's probably not. And when it is, the content created follows the law of participation inequality. (This is talked about further in "Social Media Is Bullshit", by the way.)
1. A "Person" left that review: Despite their best efforts, there is no way to purge Yelp from fake reviews. It's a big business, it's very easy to leave a fake review, and when it's done correctly, you won't even know it's fake. More often than not when you hear about fake reviews, you hear about people doing it poorly and outsourcing the job to someone in India. Or a store owner making a fake profile and leaving reviews on Yelp.
FYI: You also do not always see good reviews of a location because Yelp intentionally hides some of them in an effort to extort the business into advertising with them in an effort to have those good reviews restored to their page.
So, assuming a "person" did leave a review, it's entirely possible (and I'd say more likely than we'd think) that you're not seeing everything that's been posted.
2. Participating Inequality: In short, 10% (or less) of people who use a platform do the majority of the posting. This is a known phenomenon that's been found on every platform going back to the '90s. Now when you factor in that people tend to share bad information more readily than good information, or even neutral information, it's more likely that what you'll see online is bad, even though that might not accurately reflect the actual customer experience for most people.
Long story short: If you had to choose between the Michelin Guide and Yelp, Yelp isn't what you should go with.

The government should be able to multi-task more than one problem at a time, yes?
It seems presumptuous to think the government can handle even one problem. Do you have an example in mind?

The Java exploits appear to be pretty standard, but have been obfuscated using ZelixKlassMaster to avoid detection by anti-malware products.
This Trojan further underlines the importance of protecting Macs against malware with an updated anti-virus program as well as the latest security updates.
Doesn't that seem to come off as a slightly counter-intuitive statement? Is it unreasonable to come away from this article asking yourself "Why buy anti-virus when the malware just avoids it anyway?"
Why is this being downgraded to a "massacre" now that we know the perpetrators aren't Muslim?
When did massacre become a "downgrade" from terrorist attack?
Ultimately, with a complex application like this, you can't guarantee 100% that the code doesn't have a bug in it that could result in loss of user data. You can be ALMOST sure it won't, but 100% is not possible with current analysis techniques. (even a mathematical proof of correctness wouldn't protect you from a hacker)
I admit that this is beyond the scale of aything
I have managed but why can't we be 100% sure? I could take my backup and restore it to a test server where I could then check the data. That's what I used to do with my backup system. Who would perform backups without testing them to ensure they were useable in case of an emergency like this? O.K. who else?
I remember my tech mentor often saying to me "It should be tattoed on every systems administrator's forehead. It can only get so bad if you are properly backed up."

Elmira's Jean Bourbeau, right, tries a wraparound effort against Reading's Louie Caporusso, a former Elmira player, during Friday's first period. The Jackals outshot the Royals but lost 3-1 and are 0-2 this season.
- Filed Under
The Elmira Jackals are making the wrong kind of history early in this ECHL season, losing 3-1 to the Reading Royals on Fridya night for its first home-opening loss at First Arena since 2007.
Last week, Elmira lost its season opener after winning the season opener in its previous six seasons.
Elmira outshot Reading 34-19 on Friday, and Jackals coach Dwight Mullins said the team played better the second time around. ...

Cool, can you show us where?
I'm deciding on getting a galaxy tab and using that as my frontend now, I've got mine in the box here, only time I've powered it on was for the video's I made a few posts back. Besides being open and have a few fingerprints on it its new. If anyone wants it I can do $105 shipped
Does anyone know if this touch screen is supported in linux? Ubuntu?
Works fine. No issues with either display. One thing I noticed right away was how much better the capacitive panel is. The resistive touch is crap. The capacitive is sooo much smoother, and much more responsive.
$100 Shipped if anyone wants mine BTW
I can take more vids/pics for this thread also if anyone wants them
I did send you a pm, not sure what happened to it..
I am interested.

I have the chance to buy a lightly/hardly used 1999 or 2000 Trek 520 for $450. I intend for the bike to serve as a light weekend ride bike, day-touring, and lightly loaded multi-day touring (will need to work up to this level).
How far can one dial in reach with stem changes? I felt like I was fairly stretched out and more forward when I was riding the hoods but again, I've never really ridden drops before. I'm not sure whether the stretched out reach is the result of the newness of the experience or whether the frame is slightly too large for me. I'm about 5'6" with a 30" inseam and my hybrid bike is a 17.5" Jamis frame. The seller states the frame is 18" and the Bikepedia description only gives it as "medium" for 2000 and for 1999 it's either 17" or 19". The seller is 5'11" he claims although the seat height on the bike seemed appropriate for me when I rode it around (i.e. I wasn't getting maximal knee extension on the pedal downstroke) and he never really rode it that far.
Given the age of the bike what types of replacement parts am I looking at? Off the top of my head it appears tires, brake pads, tubes (existing tube stems do not look good), bar tape, and saddle. With the 1" threaded stem should I perhaps get a threadless adapter and then get some type of multi-position stem so I can adjust it until I get used to riding drops?
Any issues with the 8 speed cassette vs. the 9 speed cassette of newer Treks for light/medium load touring? I can't imagine myself loading the bike with more than 75 pounds or even 50 pounds and adding my weight in that'd be well under 250 pounds total.
Anything else I should be considering?

These women are extremely thin, whatever happened to the VS curvy women? Any beautiful woman can starve herself and get breast implants. Candice looks like a damned lollipop, no asses, no real figure at all. I miss the Tyra and Heidi's of VS.
I agree. VS models have really thinned out. It's a shame.
When Tyra Banks was around, all the women looked amazing!
Is there a way to view all the images at once?
Usually I make fun of eating disorders as an affectation of whiny rich girls, but who the hell is the blond near-death concentration camp model in the 5th picture??? You can see her entire skeleton.
don't hate because you are fat guys. Save the krispy kreme and hit the treadmill that's all.
Ew!! Saggy anorexic ass!
Yes her ass is pretty terrible. Its like she was given a huge snatch and the ass grew from her residual crotch skin.

Great photos!
VERY nice photos. I especially like the way you crop your photos - some really benefit from that panorama aspect.
I looked at the photos of China (my service provider slows me down after a bit, and it was all I could see with a reasonable wait) and they are wonderful. I agree with the others who said it is slow to load, but my main concern is that (on my screen at least), most of the "square" photos appear to go offscreen - I'm never sure I'm looking at the whole image. The website design is simple and effective, and as I said the China pics at least are great.
Very slow load, both initially for the site and later for individual pictures, through my medium-speed DSL line. Also, having the pictures bleed all the way to the edge of the window is disconcerting - hard to escape the feeling that something is being cropped. (Is it?)
I thought the menus and thumbnails were distracting until I discovered that you can make them go away by moving the cursor out of the window. Very nice!
Thanks for sharing - I'll be heading back for another look!
Yup, seems to be a common refrain -- slow to load, although sometimes it's OK at my end. Hard to say...as for the picture bleed, you're getting the whole deal.
Easiest way is to keep the cursor off screen and use the arrow keys to navigate. I had to learn that by trial and error...
Welcome to APUG!
In addition, it would be great if clicking on to the opening photo/screen would open up the menu (which itself isn't really easy to locate).
The photography? wonderful!
These are outstanding, evocative images,nd I love the website. I've never seen a Wordpress template like that. If I may ask, hitch template is it?
Colin: You photos are wonderful. I particularly liked the B/W China and color ones. Well the others are great too. They are all rich, deep and meaningful. I also noticed the slow load although mine wasn't that bad since I'm running about 3-4 MB. When I checked your photos, they are very large for the web. You might be able to reduce the size and never notice since monitors have a lot less pixels horizontally and vertically then you have on each of your photos. Anyway the wait between shots gives one time to enjoy and absorb them even more. Alan.

I really like this product. It smells amazing, and I find that it really makes my hair smooth and more detangled. It's a very good price as well. Its tricky until you figure out how to use this product properly. It is fairly thick, so spraying it directly onto hair is probably not the best way to use it. I personally spray about a quarter sized amount into my hand and work it into my hair that way, I find that works much better than spraying, and coats my hair more evenly. Also, some girls use this on dry hair before flat ironing. This is NOT the way to use this product. It is meant for one application on damp hair, followed by your blow dryer and straightener. I use a different heat protectant spray for straightening, because this is not the right product for that. It is great for thermal protection from blow drying though. I would recommend, and I will repurchase.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I like this stuff; it really makes my hair soft and straight. not heavy, not sticky.
However, I do not like the pump: it is like the "stream" option on a bottle of Windex.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This product sucks! It doesn't do anything to my hair except weigh it down and give it a sticky feeling. And, I find that it is hard to get out sometimes because the little spray bottle packaging. I've only had it for a week and the thing's almost empty. Yup, I've had to use that much, and still, nothing. It doesn't even protect my hair. && as far as the smell, it's kinda strong. like orange smoothies. I personally dont prefer it. :(
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
It works great and can be used for more than just flat ironing. Great scent too!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I blowdry my hair every other day and flatiron/curl my hair with HIGH heat tools everyday. I've tried EVERY single heat protect product available in drugstores and some in salons. I have to say for the price this product is the best. Some other salon products will do as good of a job but will be twice the price. It smells like oranges too.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
If you want straight hair, use this. you will obtain that.
First oFf HOLY HELL THE SMELL IS AMAZING! i seriously would sniff this stuff all day<3 it smells so good
The bottle is cute to.
And it offers thermal protection, makes my hair softer and sleeker.
I might use this as my new thermal protector ^.^
This is a very good product and i would recommend it.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Medium, Cool
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
So I have been using this product for about 3 weeks. And I think is okay. I do not like the smell. I have not noticed any difference, I mean I use to be blonde and i will always see my hair damaged and dried, but since I dyed it black it looks so healthy and smooth, I guess it is because i have been using this product before blowdrying my hair and flat-ironing it. But mainly because I havent dyed it in the longest time. But overall I think this product is not bad, but definitely not the best.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Coarse
Eyes: Hazel
I just started using this a little while ago and I am really pleased with it. It works really well on my course, thick curly hair. It makes it much easier to blow dry and it helps straighten it too. Also if you can't afford the Redken Satin Wear Blow Dry Lotion, this is a great cheaper alternative. The smell reminds me of orange fruit loops but luckily it doesn't leave the scent in your hair for very long, maybe like 5 minutes. The spray bottle drove me insane when i first got it but once you get it to work it's fine. I found that it works better if I spray it into my hand its much easier to distribute through my hair. Overall, I love this stuff and I have noticed a huge difference in my hair.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love the smell of it and it works very well as heat protection on flat iron. Love the packaging as well with the bottom so much bigger than the top, making the bottle very stable plus the color of the bottle stands out from the rest of my other hair products. However, as other reviewers said, the pump doesn't spray into a fine mist. It came out in chunk and I used a comb to even out the products onto my hair. It is really hard to get it distribute evenly. Got 2 Be please design a better spray and I would buy it again.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
As it said "blowdry and flat iron" on the label, it is supposed to be used on damp hair. Really good heat protectant, protects my hair when I use a 419 F flat iron.It is also a good detangler. The smell is really good, this product contains proteins and keratin which is a plus for me. I know people have problem with the spray nozzle, I discovered that if you squeeze the trigger hard and really fast, the lotion comes out as mist instead of a huge clump.

BioTECHnology – Novartis: there's an app for that
Novartis, the international leader in the manufacture of vaccines and pharmaceutical products has partnered with Apple to develop a consumer iPhone application (app) called VaxTrak. The app is designed to help parents manage their families' vaccines and preventative care, allowing parents to track their children's vaccinations and get alerts when updates are due. The app can also be used to log insurance records and find local pharmacies where flu shots are available. So far, consumers have embraced the new technology that allows them to be more involved with the administration of their healthcare.
Since the release of VaxTrak, other pharmaceutical companies have taken note of Novartis' example and created similar apps for consumers. Advances in technology have allowed for innovations in medical record keeping as well as this new wave of interest in smart phone applications that literally put healthcare at your fingertips.
These cutting edge innovations are characteristic of the fast-paced world of biotechnology. VaxTrak acts as a bridge between the company and the consumer – between the science of the product and the business of its application. It is in this overlap of space in the life sciences industry where hybrids like KGI students can effectively use business to sell science creating a win-win situation for the company as well as the consumer.

"Host minified CSS and JS files" is selected and the CDN seems to be working fine (Rackspace Cloud Files), but the minified JS and CSS are being served from the main site domain instead of the CDN.
I've cleared all w3tc caches, cleared browser cache, uninstalled w3tc, deleted w3tc-related files & dirs, removed w3tc code from .htaccess and re-installed w3tc.
All transfers to CDN look okay.
Minified files were being called from CDN prior to changing my "Site Address" as suggested here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Changing my "Site Address" back to the original setting (and deleting all w3tc caches and files) did not help.
Does anybody have any hints to help me get to the bottom of this?
Much appreciated!

"This one's trouble, bring her with us." The director quickly walked out of the room closely followed by the guard and the girl. "How of all places did our defenses get broken-how are they this close?"
"Sir, we don't know that yet. We are doing everything we can-but for now we need to mobilize the fleet." Another personnel had joined the directors group as they headed into the secure elevator and headed down to F1. The giant metal double doors opened up to a huge concrete underground garage. Armed guards lined the way out of the elevator as they proceeded out.
"Listen I don't care what it takes-detour them, destroy them, keep them away from our cargo! Do you have any idea what will happen if word gets out of the technology we're harboring?"
"Ah c'ome on, this girl is useless- look she's bleeding everywhere." The guard shook the girl who was tightly handcuffed and battered. The director turned momentarily then quickly away from her sight. The girl looked up under her unruly hair at the surroundings. A long fleet line of cars lined one side of the concrete interior. All of them were black- cars, suv's, trucks. Yet in the middle of the fleet one particularly stood out. A dark greyish aggressive car gave off a different aurora than the rest. She couldn't take her eyes off it, scanning every inch she had never seen such a vehicle before. It was different and she couldn't figure out why it was such from the rest.
"She has payments to be made I don't care do not let her out of your sight-" The lights flickered a moment. The grip on her arm became tighter. From the elevator there was a guard yelling out.
"Sir they-they're here you must get moving." The director took no second thought, he quickly turned on his heel and began walking briskly towards the end of the fleet. Another flicker-the lights went out. Panic came over the lot. They moved quickly in the dark past the line of cars. Using flashlights. It was strange she felt like she was being watched by an external force. Walking and tripping she knew exactly when she passed in front of the strange car- even though it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Automatically the night vision camera activated when they passed in front of it. The screen zoomed in on the girl as they passed out of the line of vision.
Suddenly a large sound shook the whole garage. The traveling group fell to the ground in fear and panic.
"What-what was that?" The director's voice shook out, scrambling to his feet he and the guard began moving but the girl laid on the concrete floor.
"What are you doing? Get up, Get up!" The guard yanked and pulled on the girl to get her to her feet but she lay there not knowing what to do next.
Suddenly a large growl echoed through the garage. Everyone froze in their tracks. "What was that?" The director demanded.
"I- I don't know it sounded like-" The guard was cut off by another loud growl from 20 feet behind them. A piercing beam of light came from a single direction then split into two as the entity turned itself out of the fleet towards them. The matrix LED lights stared down the group.
"What-who activated a-which vehicle is that?" The director spoke to the guard.
Now having light the guard reached down and began fussing and pulling the girl up again. She still refused to get to her feet and pulled away. The car let out a roar as it charged towards the guard in a split second. The director fell backwards as he scrambled away from the charging car. The headlights screeched to a halt mere inches from the guard as he released the girl and fell back too. Sitting on the ground next to the front wheel well she realized that it was the strange car that was in the fleet. The driver door popped open and did not move. Feeling a strange sensation she scrambled up and grabbed the handle and flung herself into the seat. Suddenly the car's interior and exterior lights shut off as the car itself flung itself into reverse. Screaming she grabbed the steering wheel but it turned forcefully out of her hand as if it was possessed and spun the car around into another direction. She could feel it shift into drive as she was thrown back into her seat. The headlights beamed back on as the car was charging the line of guards straight towards the elevator. Screaming she tried to grab the wheel and step on the brakes but neither did not good- the car was somehow in control. The wheel quickly wound to the left and the car followed in a sharp turn. Maneuvering in and out of pillars she could see it was headed towards a ramp-an out ramp. The main screen in the center console changed to codes-as if a hacker was using it. Flicking through different screens too fast to comprehend by the human eye a gridded image popped up of a cross bar and it lifted to grant clearance. We approached the ramp where the crossbar was set in place not to let anyone in or out. As we came closer it began to raise and there she was out in the open. Out of the facility.
The car took a sharp right onto the road and headed for the city. Passing through the city streets a warning sign appeared on the scene. "Warning Phase-Shift Armor Not Activated"
"What the hell- Phase-Shift Armor not activated? What does that mean?" Below the message a touch sensitive "Activate" Appeared. She pressed the scene and the whole car began to change. Suddenly compartments that were hidden before opened up to reveal a command center of buttons. Outside she could see something happening to the paint on the hood- it was turning from a matt grey to a brilliant shiny white. On the exterior of the car the grey paint took on a Phase-Shift to impenetrable glossy white armor. The center screen in the car changed to a new message "Welcome to the Audi A7 Crest"

Why We Serve: Spc. Annson J. Sanders
February 13, 2013
By Spc. Brian J. Smith Dutton (FORSCOM)
PAKTYA PROVINCE, Afghanistan (Feb. 4, 2013) - The snow continues to fall heavily on Forward Operating Base Gardez , Soldiers in the mechanics duty area work continuously to get vehicles and equipment ready for troops going on missions.
One Soldier prepares his vehicle recovery truck for upcoming missions.
Spc. Annson J. Sanders, a 24-year-old Dickson, Tenn. native goes through the process of inspecting his truck with great detail.
"I drive the recovery truck," he said. "I have to be ready to go out there and recover damaged vehicles at any given moment."
Sanders grew up in a military involved family. His father, grandfather and numerous uncles had served in the military throughout the years.
"Growing up with so much family in the service I felt the need to serve and do my part for our country as well." Said Sanders.
Sanders enlisted more than three years ago and already had the idea of what he wanted to do in the Army.
"I knew i wanted to be a mechanic before i stepped foot in the recruiting station," he said. "I wanted to be the one repairing the vehicles and equipment because then I would really know they were good to go."
Sanders leans against his truck deep in thought about his past.
"I used to be a factory worker," he started. "Then one day I just stood up and walked to the recruiting station down the street."
He enlisted that month and left home to begin his military career as a mechanic.
"I care for the safety of the people going out on convoys," said Sanders. "That's why i wanted to be the guy taking care of their vehicles and equipment."
Sanders talks of how he had re-enlisted in November and goes on to explain his love for the Army life that he had happily volunteered for.
"For one thing, I met my wife while I've been in the Army," he said. " To be honest, I plan on making this a career."
"I mean, Fort Campbell is only my second duty station and this is only my first deployment," he continues. "But i really truly enjoy the Army so far."
When discovering that he would be going to and deploying with the 101st Airborne Division Sanders grew excited at the thought.
"Once i found out I was going to the 101st I was extremely excited," said Sanders. "I wanted to deploy with the 101st because my father deployed with them when he was in."
With the goal of one day becoming an officer Sanders plans on showing his leadership that he has the right qualities for the green to gold program.
Sanders hopes to be able to give future Soldiers the best leadership that he can offer.
"There are many different styles of leadership," he said. "I want to use my experience while enlisted to take the good leadership to teach as well as not what to do in terms of leadership."
"But for now," said Sanders. "I'm going to concentrate on being ready and able to help those Soldiers that go out on missions whenever they may need it."

Shehla Chatoor's designs are an emulation of her personal style: it could be a slinky, fitted one with gold spangles or a classic silken jumpsuit scooped and gathered around the waist with a delicate gold-chain belt. It could even be luxurious wedding wear resplendent with traditional hand embroideries and delicate stonework. Quintessentially Eastern, completely Western or a medley of both, each outfit has an understated grace and sophistication about it — much like the designer herself.
I meet Shehla a few days before she is to leave on vacation — she is going to break off her vacation to return to Karachi for a few days in order to attend the Lux Style Awards where she is nominated in the Best Luxury Pret category.
Translating catwalk drama into wearable luxury pret that screams elegance is what makes Shehla popular as a high-end couturier. It won her the most votes for the Etihad-sponsored Pakistan's Most Inspiring Designer award (at Fashion Pakistan Week 3) and has made her a strong contender for the LSA this year. After all the media hype generated through fashion weeks, it's pointless if it doesn't rake in business.
Shehla consistently brings forth new collections even as she gets orders for her previous ones. Her studio is stocked full with her line-up that was shown at FPW3; others that were designed a decade ago and continue to be recreated for brides that want them as part of their trousseau. Rivaling the regal Roman arches constructed along the walls are outfits that are just as opulent. A one-off, red-and-green wedding ensemble stands next to Shehla's desk while spotlighted in the corners on headless mannequins are wedding dresses and a shimmery, slinky halter dress in the colour palette that Shehla loves best: ivory, white, brown, cream and beige.
"My clients usually share my predilection for ivories and browns. I love gold but don't like to go over the top with too much bling," she professes.
The business of luxury pret Shehla's own wardrobe was what drew clients to her in the very first place. For anyone who's seen her attend a red carpet affair, it's obvious why any woman would want to jump into her bejeweled stilettos. She is perhaps the best model for her own designs, carrying a jumpsuit or even a simple wrap dress with an innate poise which makes heads turn and cameras click. And back in 1995, when Shehla designed her own bridal trousseau, the orders started coming in for similar outfits.
It helped, of course, that her husband was already involved in the textile business. Salim Chatoor helped Shehla in acquiring workers and to set up an efficient production facility. "Today, the Shehla Chatoor brand has a niche clientele and a signature look of its own," says the designer.
However, Shehla took her time to spread her wings. The year 2004 saw her taking on the Bridal Asia show in Delhi. "My clothes got sold out immediately and ever since, I have had a very regular clientele in India," she says. "Indians love Pakistani fashion because it is very sophisticated. Their own formal wear is mostly designed for specific festivals while very little emphasis is given to clothes that a woman may wear to just any party. Here in Pakistan, we wear shalwar kameez all the time and so we make sure that the shirt fits well and the entire outfit looks stylish."
Shehla presently exhibits regularly at a multi-label store in Delhi. She also stocks in Dubai, London and Houston, selling to the usual milieu of Indians and Pakistanis as well as to Europeans with a penchant for Eastern embellishments on modern Western lines.
Her stronghold remains her clientele within Pakistan, though, that flit to her studio in Karachi from all over the country for her bridal designs and sumptuous gowns and jumpsuits. Taking part in fashion-related events has provided her with media mileage but, according to Shehla, she had her fill of clothing orders even before her name was applauded in fashion week reviews. She is also hesitant to expand to a shop in a popular mall. "I don't usually make clothes for sale. I stock samples in my studio and based on them, create clothes on order. I am one of the very few designers who devise entire looks rather than just outfits. I provide shoes, bags and accessories like necklaces and belts that go with the dress. I just can't see myself mass-producing such elaborate, detailed looks for a shop."
For the time being, pret is a far-off dream for Shehla. She's having far too much fun creating the sexy, expensive-looking dresses that have become her signature. "My dresses may sometimes be revealing but I have never believed in showing skin just for the sake of exposure. I like my dresses to be classy, draped in places to complement the Eastern figure and adorned with a statement belt or simply, just my logo."
Although the sheer sophistication of her designs makes them instantly recognisable, if there's any doubt at all, Shehla's Oriental-looking logo cleverly defines her dresses as her own. "I created my logo when I saw the shoes I designed especially for my brides being replicated in stores in Karachi's Zamzama," she explains. "From thereon, the logo just became part of all my designs; dresses, clutches and shoes."
LSA and beyond
And as she forges ahead with her individualistic, logo-ed take on fashion, the LSA nominations were quite inevitable. This is the second year in which Shehla has been nominated for the Luxury Pret category and gracefully, she declares that it is an "honour just to be nominated.
The LSA jury consists of professionals that I respect a lot and I am happy that they considered me," she says. "Of course, I hope to win. Let's see."
Judging from the way her luxurious clothes are now the rage red carpet events worth the mettle, there's a good chance that Shehla might win. And really, one just has to take a look at Shehla's designs and Shehla herself — exuding affluence, class and grace — to know that while awards and accolades are great, this designer's a winner already.
