Reille Hunter refused to accept the blame for former presidential candidate John Edwards failed marriage Thursday morning on the Oprah Winfrey show.
"I do not believe I wrecked his home," Hunter said. "It's not my experience that a third party wrecks a home."
The appearance on Oprah was Hunter's first televised interview since John Edwards first admitted two years ago that he had an affair with Hunter. In January, Edwards said he and Hunter have a 2-year-old daughter after initially denying it. He and his wife, Elizabeth Edwards are now separated.
Hunter told Winfrey that Edwards sees their daughter Quinn and gives her child support. She also admitted to still being in love with Edwards despite the drawn out denial and drama of their relationship.
Edwards' cancer stricken wife, Elizabeth, didn't know about the full extent of Hunter's relationship with John Edwards. She initially found out about Hunter on December 31.
"On the morning of Dec. 31, she (Elizabeth) found a cell phone I bought for him and she called it and I picked up and said 'hey baby,' and she hung up right away," Hunter told Winfrey.
But it wasn't until after John Edwards gave an interview on ABC's Nightline in August 2008 when Elizabeth found out about the baby. Hunter claimed the only reason Edwards went on Nightline was because Elizabeth told him to. Edwards denied he fathered Hunter's baby on the show but told Elizabeth the truth shortly after the show.
"She (Elizabeth) didn't know until after the interview," Hunter told Winfrey. "He came clean with her after that interview."
GQ magazine last month published an interview with Hunter in which she addressed the scandal. But there's still one thing not clear, are Hunter and Edwards still romantically involved. Winfrey tried using her charm at the end of the interview and asked what the current status of their relationship is and Hunter flashed a big smile and said, "it's private."

Recipe from Patricia Carruolo of Cranston, R.I.
Any type of steak, thin cut, portion sizes
Seasoned breadcrumbs
Salt, pepper and garlic powder
Eggs (beaten)
Put breadcrumbs in a bowl and season to your liking.
Put eggs in a bowl and beat. You may season the eggs with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Take one piece of steak and dip into the egg mixture, making sure you cover the whole piece of steak.
Put piece of steak into the breadcrumbs. Cover entire piece of steak with breadcrumbs.
Place steak on a cookie sheet. (I usually spray cookie sheet with Pam.)
Repeat for each piece of steak.
Once all the steak is breaded and on the cookie sheet, place a pat of butter on each piece.
Bake steak at 350 degrees until you see the outside of the steak crusty. (Cook time will be determined on the thickness of the steak you choose. )
I usually make a side dish of sauteed mushrooms and peppers.

The county also plans to expand free Wi-Fi access to the 11 parks with technology centers and three additional parks adjacent to public libraries.
Miami-Dade County, Fla., has launched a new program to incorporate more technology into local public parks. On August 9, the county unveiled three new technology learning centers, each located in a public park, and free Wi-Fi access in each of the three vicinities.
Over the next few months, the county will unveil an additional eight centers for a total of 11 sites. The project was developed through a public-private partnership involving multiple Miami-Dade County departments, the South Florida Digital Alliance and AT&T, according to a statement from Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez's office.
Each location – the centers and their respective parks – will provide free Wi-Fi to the public. Wi-Fi access will also be rolled out to an additional three local parks adjacent to public libraries.
"Access to technology is the gateway to information and opportunities, and it is our responsibility to find ways to make sure that our residents have access through this gateway," Gimenez said in a press release.
Will Tech Centers Replace Libraries?
But will the addition of technology centers and expanded Wi-Fi access in Miami-Dade parks result in library closures?
Recently, Gimenez said county budget cuts could hypothetically result in the closing of 22 libraries, a number previously reported as a "worst-case scenario." However, after further budget analysis, officials decided only four libraries will close in order to balance the budget, according to local media.
Although the county will see reduced library service, government officials feel the newly unveiled technology centers won't contribute to the cutbacks.
"[The technology centers] certainly will enhance but in no way replace the need for a library," said Jack Kardys, Miami-Dade County director of Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces.
Similar to libraries, the technology centers will offer access to computers, with each facility housing 10 computers for public use. Kardys said to help connect the public with county government resources, tech center computers link to the Miami-Dade Public Library System's portal, the South Florida Digital Alliance portal and the Miami-Dade Public Schools portal. Other resources at the centers include technology training for youth and adults.
To expand beyond local parks, the county is currently in the planning phase to deploy free Wi-Fi at local marinas. Kardys said the county's parks department has jurisdiction over marinas and wants to enhance them with Wi-Fi to make Internet connectivity more accessible to boaters.
"They are on the drawing board and as funding becomes available for that sort of thing, we will move in that direction," Kardys said.

Steve The Thrill Hill
March 17, 2017
Steve "The Thrill" Hill got his start in radio, coincidentally, right around the same time that he started in radio. His motivation revolved around the idea that he could yell at so many MORE people via radio than he could sitting at a bar. He was right... but that hasn't prevented him from yelling at people in bars. He's notable for being the second blackest guy on the show but the sexiest. He lives in the Men's Room.

With the console and PC release of Aliens: Colonial Marines right around the corner, Fox Digital Entertainment taps Angry Mob Entertainment (Predators, Muffin Knight) to give iOS and Android gamers something to do while everyone else is playing the Gearbox game. That something is Alien Vs. Predator: Evolution, a single-player third-person action-adventure game that's really a touching coming-of-age story in disguise.
On a distant planet the Super Predators have enslaved Aliens (never a good idea) to help eradicate the Jungle Hunter Clan once and for all. That makes the Super Predators the main enemy of both story campaigns. As an Alien you'll take revenge for being used as a glorified war toy. As a Jungle Hunter you'll fight to survive against the Super Predators. I guess the Aliens will probably be trying to kill you as well. And the Androids. And the strangely bloodless humans (see the trailer).
Again, this is really a coming-of-age tale in two parts. Your Alien begins as a Facehugger and evolves into a real ugly boy over the course of the game, leveling and growing as you go. Your Predator starts the game as the dreadlock hunter version of a Cub Scout, eventually growing strong enough to one day get killed by Danny Glover. Isn't that touching? If they make a movie I want Wes Anderson to direct.
The game, which sadly bears little resemblance to Muffin Knight, is built using the Unity 3D engine, so there's no reason it couldn't become a Facebook game one beautiful day.
Alien Vs. Predator: Evolution is scheduled for release on the first quarter of this year. That's now-ish. With the console game coming out in two weeks or so, I wouldn't be surprised if this showed up around the same time.

Belgium Civil Registration
If you know where your ancestors came from in Belgium, you are in for a real treat because civil registration began around 1795-1796 while under French rule. This was also a period of administrative reorganization. Prior to that time, the Parish Registers, which were maintained in duplicates by the priests, served as Civil Registers.
The Parish Registers contain Belgium's Vital Records:
- Births
- Marriages
- Divorces
- Deaths
There are other less-used records, such as marriage banns (or publications) and marriage pieces (annexes). These registers usually contain more information than the Parish Registers do and, although the population registers enable you to see the lives of a family over a 10y- span, these records provide you with additional information about parentage and relationships to witnesses.
The Civil Register can be divided into three periods.
- Pre-1796: Parish Registers
- 1796 to the end of the 19th century: The Old Register
- The New Register: 20th century to the present
The New Registers (end of the 19th and all of the 20th centuries), along with their indexes, are also kept in duplicate copies for each locality. One is kept at the local courthouse, where it can only be accessed with permission of the local burgmaster or the Civil Register clerk. At the end of each year, the other copy is turned over to the court clerk and can be accessed only with written permission, stating just cause.
You can request a photocopy or a literal copy, which must include signatures. It is often necessary to provide exact information (at least approximately), such as name, event's locality, and date. This is necessary because the local clerks do not provide genealogical research.
The Old Registers may not contain as much information as the newer ones. However, some records can be fountains of information, especially marriage records in cases where the spouses' parents are both deceased. In such cases, you will likely find the parents' death information, along with information on the grandparents.
As for the more recent records, the locality keeps one copy and the other copies are turned over to the State Archives (Archives Générales du Royaume in Brussels, or Archives de l'État in the provinces). Researchers can access them by writing to:

The Civil Registers contain the official Vital Records:
- Births
- Marriages
- Marriage Banns (i.e., Publications, published twice before the wedding, denote the bride's place of residence, which is where the wedding usually took place)
- Divorces
- Marriage Pieces (Includes whatever records were needed to verify the information given in the marriage certificate; this could include parents' death certificates if they were deceased at the time their child married, and proof of having fulfilled military duty)
- Deaths
A basic knowledge of the local language can help you retrieve very important information, but don't let this keep you from accessing the documents.
FamilySearch offers downloadable Word lists at:
You could also use an online translator to help you better understand the records.
Samples of translated records can also help you learn to find the documents' key words.
Document Layout and Indexes
The records are organized in different ways, depending on the time frame and location of the record. The records will be either in Dutch, French, or German. The Parish Registers can also be found in Latin, depending on the area of Belgium in which you are researching.
Some towns record all the events in chronological order, regardless of the type of event. However, the records are numbered according to their type. Other places use a "chapter format" for every year: One chapter for the births, one for the marriages, and one for the the deaths.
If the records are not numbered, look for a page number. Be aware that pages are sometimes numbered on one side only (right side). Therefore, they are found in the index as "Recto" (Front) and "Verso" (Back).
Yearly indexes are available in most cases, but sometimes you have to work with ten-year indexes. These will either precede or follow the actual records. Yearly indexes changed over time, especially the Marriage ones. At first the clerk only alphabetized the grooms. In this case it may be necessary to read each entry so as not to miss the bride. Later, however, all spouses are alphabetized in one list, which greatly simplifies research.
If the records are combined, you will find them indexed in categories at the end of the year. These indexes make it much easier to sift through the records, but be mindful of multiple spellings. This is especially important with your emigrant ancestors, whose names were often changed either on purpose or through the emigration process.
The old Parish Registers are of great use to the genealogists. They include:
- Baptism Records - note the sponsors, i.e., godparents and their place of origin
- Marriage Records - note the witnesses
- Deaths or Burials - often disconcertingly sparse in information
Alphabetical indexes by parish are available and could comprise more than one village. All of these records are generally kept at the National Archives (Archives générales du Royaume) for the Brabant Province, and at the State Archives in each of the other Provinces (see list above for addresses). They are sometimes found in City Archives (Brussels, Antwerp, and Mechelen for example).
Depending on the parish, the records go back to the early 18th century, and in some cases, to the 17th and 16th centuries. Although some may not have been available, all of Belgium's Parish registers that are extant have been microfilmed, along with their indexes (Tables). In an effort to preserve the records in Brussels (AGR), using the microfilms is preferred over handling the originals.
Parish records sometimes give minimal information, such as missing parents' names on christening records. In such cases, it is vital to take note of the godparents or sponsors to establish kinship.
Belgian genealogists have created a huge national file that contains all old Parish registers Indexes. This should prove invaluable to all researchers.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has microfilmed and is continuing to microfilm these records for all of Belgium for the Archives Générales du Royaume (AGR) as the privacy laws permit. The microfilms can be viewed at the Archives' facilities or through a Family History Center. Check the Family History Library Catalog at http://www.familysearch.org to find the one you need.

One-Pot Wonders: Scallops With Spicy Quinoa, Kale, and Pistachios
Get the Recipe
Scallops have always held a special place in my heart after I learned an easy and foolproof way to cook them. Granted, my instructor was a handsome Scottish chef wearing a kilt, but that's beside the point.
With the right technique under your belt, scallops are an incredibly simple undertaking; cooked incorrectly, though, and they quickly become tough and rubbery. My instructor's tip was easy (and life-changing): Get the pan and cooking fat hot, add the scallops and cook until the exterior is nearly opaque, and finally flip them, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the residual heat to finish cooking the second side.
Depending on the size of the scallops, though, I've found that this method can sometimes lead to the scallops being a little more underdone than I've liked, so instead of turning off the heat, I allow the other side to sear for about one minute more in the pan, leaving me with beautiful brown crusts and a lightly cooked center. Still, if you like you scallops less cooked than I do, you can try removing them from the heat sooner.
Aside from the cooking method, the single most important thing about scallops is to buy good ones, which invariably means "dry packed" scallops that haven't been soaked in a chemical brine. They cost more per pound, but they're considerably sweeter and more delicious, and they also aren't bloated with the water weight of the brine.
The best part about working with scallops is that they can be served over a variety of accompaniments, like pasta, grain salads, or vegetables like cauliflower that's both roasted and puréed. Since harissa has become a staple condiment in my kitchen, thanks to all the flavor and spice it adds to a dish, I figured mixing it with light and nutty quinoa would make for a filling and savory base for my scallops.
The quinoa itself is also straightforward—I begin by softening shallots in the pan, followed by a pinch of cumin and then the quinoa. I toast the grain for about a minute before cooking it in chicken broth (a great shortcut for extra flavor). Then I stir in some ribbons of kale at the end and allow them to wilt. Topped with crunchy pistachios and fresh, grassy cilantro, this bright and flavorful meal is a great weeknight go-to. Plus that leftover quinoa makes an easy lunch or picnic meal that can be topped with grilled chicken or served with hummus the following day.

Recently, I was a part of a discussion about which criteria should be used when determining a salary for a programmer: arguments varied from "it is a matter of employer's choice" to other arguments that took into account one's education, experience, understanding of technologies, etc. Not so long ago, I read a great post on the Stack Exchange blog on the subject and I couldn't agree more with it, but not many employers follow the described logic.
In your experience, which elements are the most important ones when determining salary for a programmer? Which criteria are most often applied in those situations? Which criteria should be most often applied? And finally, to which extent is formal education (college, university) important in determining salary?

The Riviera country club will be the setting for the dance, which has been scheduled for March 12. "Corsages have been banned by the committee—a decision which will further curtail the expense of the .evening for those who attend," said Gardiner Pollich, junior class president, yesterday. ' No associated student body cards will be required ior admission, the price of which is covered in full by the $2.50 paid for bids." Merle Carlson, whose orchestra has been secured by By Cavaney and his assistant band committeemen to play for the prom revelers, lias recently begun a tour of the Pacific coast after a season in the southwest, where they were featured entertainers at several clubs following a period of radio broadcast recording. They promise swing music and blues arrangements of current song favorites, according to Cavaney. A total of 300 bids are expected to be sold, as attendance at the annual junior prom has increased steadily since the event was made an all-university affair ln 1933 Previously the dance was closed to lower division students. "Added attraction to the formal dance will be the favors." declared Dorothy McCune, committee member, last night. "They will be kept secret for the sake of surprise, but we will say that they will set a precedent and are in harmony with the selected theme of the dance." Kipling Works Are Topic for Reading Today Dr. Baxter Chooses British Author-Poet for Fifth Morning Program Slang To Be Interpreted Attendance at Bi-Weekly Sessions Grows; 350 Indicate Interest Rudyard Kipling's writings have been chosen by Dr. Frank C. Baxter as his topic for discussion on the fifth of his series of readings which will be presented this morning in Bovard auditorium at assembly period. The last biweekly reading which featured the poems of Edward Arlington Robinson was attended by 350 students and even a larger attendance is anticipated at the program today. Of the opinion that most people today do not give as much credit to Kipling as they should. Dr. Baxter explains that since the great English author wrote for a different age and a different world his books no longer seem true and real. This morning Baxter will endeavor to show, by reading some of Kipling's works, that his prose and verse ranks with the best ever written In the English language. Born in India, where he wrote many of his books, Kipling led an interesting life. He attended school in England, but returned to his birth-place in Bombay as soon as he finished. Some of his first works Included "Departmental Ditties" and "Barrack Room Ballads." Works such as these started him on the road to fame. fjoon Kipling's prowess as a writer spread to England, and eventually to the United States. Although he visited this country on several occasions he preferred to spend his later days in England. It was here that he produced his greatest novel, "Kim." and a series of "Jungle Books." Much of his time was devoted to writing books for children. Los Angeles, California, Wednesday, March 3, 1937 Assembly Ratifies Judicial Revision Number 90 SACRAMENTO, March 2.— (UP)—President Roosevelt's judiciary reform program had the approval tonight of the state assembly after a bitter partisan argument that occupied most of the three-hour session. Speakers presenting opposite views on a resolution supporting the president's stand quoted ¥ —----- authorities ranging from John Marshall . the first chief Justice, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, down to Franklin Delano Roosevelt to bolster their side of the dispute. | The debate gave a majority of the j lower house members an opportu- 1 nity to publicly state their ideas of constitutional government, the relation of the executive, judicial, and congressional divisions to one another. and they took full advantage of the chance.

Tenney, Inglewood, and several co-authors. After being amended on the floor to remove what some of the more conservative members of the Democratic majority considered obnoxious provisions, it finally was adopted by a vote of 41-31. The resolution, wlilch does not require action in the senate, contained provisions stating that "whereas, the president of the United States has proposed to congress a sound, workable, practical plan to increase the efficiency of the federal courts, expedite the business j thereof and to promote thereby the j dispensation of justice to the people of the United States," the assembly resolves "that the president's judt- , cial reform program is hereby em- j phatically endorsed and approved." i Similar Resolutions Introduced | Prior to the controversy in the assembly, the senate received two resolutions dealing with the same 1 subject. One by Senator Andrew1 Schottky. Merced Republican, would memorialize congress to reject that portion of the president's program j which would give him the right .0 appoint additional Justices. Tlie oth- j er, submitted by Senator Culbert L.! Olson. Los Angeles Democrat, sup- j ported the Roosevelt proposals.

Aircraft Corporation Head Shows Non-Recognition Of Dispute Board Hour Wages Are Increased Faith Declared in Employee Collective Bargaining 1 o Open Air Meet SANTA MONICA. March 2. — (UP) — Donald Douglas, youthful appearing president of the Douglas Aircraft corporation, today denied the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations board in its attempt to arbitrate differences of a minority group of employees who declared a sit-down strike last week. As he announced a 5 cent per hour wage Increase for his workers, Douglas served notice that he would not recognize the NLRB, either ln questions arising from the recent sit-down or from any future disputes that crop up at hi* plant He insisted his company is engaged only In Intrastate business, which places lt beyond the realm of federal Jurisdiction. Addresses Open Air Meet His remarks were addressed to 3,000 of his employees, attending an open air meeting outside thc world's largest airplane factory. "Douglas Aircraft declines to recognize any jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations board, or the regional director of the board of this district, to determine any matters relating to the relations of he Douglas company with its employees, for reasons that the Douglas company as a manufacturing corporation and all of its acttlvltles in connection with the manufacturing of airplanes and parts, and all of its Intrastate business Is beyond the Jurisdiction of the federal congress to regulate," Douglas asserted. He repledged his faith in the company employees association, which | reputedly represents most of his workers. The CIO United Automobile workers, aircraft division, which sonsored the sit-down strike, claims more than 1500 workers in Its mem-, bershlp. Hearing Ordered Dr Towne J. Nylander, regional director of the NLRB, has ordered a j hearing for Thursday to determine 1 the Immediate causes of the recent strike. A spokesman for Douglas said tonight that only company counsel, Harry W. Elliott, would attend the hearing, and then only as an "on-looker." { Douglas said he believed company employees had the right to elect their own representatives In the matter of collective bargaining, and suggested that such an election be held ln the near future.

Its the principle of the thing, he said, not the $3 85. Mr. McCoy's lawyer went over and made a tentative pass at the switchboard.

Based on a True Story, Film Detailing Daughter's Infamous Murder of Her Parents Also Stars Golden Globe(R) Nominee Billy Campbell and Screen Actors Guild Winner Clea DuVall
LOS ANGELES, CA - November 18, 2013 - The nursery rhyme "Lizzie Borden took an ax...and gave her mother forty whacks...when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one" has been folklore for generations. But, in fact, it was Lizzie Borden -- one of the most legendary figures in American history - who first whetted the public's voracious interest in scandalous crimes in the 1800s with her own gruesome story involving the brutal murder of her parents. Starring Golden Globe(R) and Emmy(R) Award nominee Christina Ricci (Monster), Golden Globe(R) Nominee Billy Campbell (The Killing) and Screen Actors Guild Award(R) winner Clea DuVall (Argo), the Lifetime Original Movie Lizzie Borden Took An Ax premieres January 25, 2014, at 8pm ET/PT.
On a scorching, hot summer day in 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lizzie Borden (Ricci) returns home to the house she shares with her father Andrew, stepmother Abby and sister Emma (DuVall). But, unlike any normal day, Lizzie encounters the bloody scene of her parents violently murdered. Police quickly question multiple suspects in town, but evidence keeps pointing back to the Borden's youngest daughter Lizzie, the seemingly wholesome Sunday school teacher, as the prime suspect. Lizzie's lawyer, Andrew Jennings (Campbell), proclaims her innocence arguing that it is inconceivable a woman could commit the heinous crime of brutally murdering her family with an ax. Or is it? Lizzie is put on trial for the murders, both in the courtroom and in the press, sparking a widespread debate about her culpability. As the case rages on, the courtroom proceedings fuel an enormous amount of sensationalized stories and headlines in newspapers throughout the country, forever leaving Lizzie Borden's name in infamy.
Lizzie Borden Took An Ax is produced by Sony Pictures Television for Lifetime. Judith Verno (Masters of Sex, Drew Peterson: Untouchable) serves as executive producer with Michael Mahoney (The Memory Keeper's Daughter) producing. Nick Gomez (The Blacklist) directs from a script written by Stephen Kay (The Mod Squad).

ABC Cocina: Great Seasonal Latin, If You Can Stand the Wait
ABC Cocina
38 East 19th St New York, NY 10003 (b/n 5th and Park; map); 212-677-2233; abccocinanyc.com
Setting: What's that? I can't hear you!
Service: Looks good, tries hard, falls short
Compare To: Spice Market, Dos Caminos, ABC Kitchen
Must-Haves: Pea guacamole, short rib tacos, patatas bravas, sugar snap pea salad
Cost: Expensive. $7 to $24 for small shared plates.
Recommendation: Recommended with reservations. An excellent and varied menu is marred by a mob scene and spotty service.
It's been a little over two years since the lowly taco got its cheffy makeover at the hands of Alex Stupak. At the time, people balked at the prices at his Empellón Cocina. $17 for tacos? Are you nuts?
Since then, the general reaction has turned from one of why?! to oh, I guess that's why, and the high-end taco was thus officially established as a legitimate food form in New York before proceeding to slow to a near stand-still in its plans to take over the city. For a full year and a half, all we had was Alex doing his thing at his two Empellóns, but recently others have jumped into the game: First April Bloomfield with her Salvation Taco in Murray Hill, quickly followed by Xixa in Brooklyn, and just last month, Jean-Georges Vongerichten with his ABC Cocina in the ABC carpet building on 19th Street.
Like its neighboring restaurant ABC Kitchen—also a Jean-Georges/Chef Dan Kluger tag-team—the menu is eclectic but seasonally based, simple to read, but interesting in its details. Though I've spotted Jean-Georges and Dan Kluger in the kitchen on a few occasions, the ship is helmed day-to-day by chef de cuisine Ian Coogan. Every single dish sounds like something you want to eat (and for the most part, is).
Patatas Bravas ($8)—perfect nugget-shaped french fries that stay crisp even after being doused in their spicy sauce—and their Spanish partners in crime Sizzling Garlic Shrimp ($13) can only be faulted for the small portion sizes (very few dishes here are meant for much more than simple grazing). Ham and Cheese Fritters ($10)? They come crisp on the outside, and gooey as promised in the middle. Raw Shaved Fluke ($11) may have a touch too much mint to really work as a Latin dish, but the crunchy rice crispies sprinkled on top are welcome regardless of their Jean-Georges-inspired southeast Asian origin.
While ABC Kitchen is the kind of place you might take your parents to show them what an excitingly casual modern New York restaurant is all about, Cocina is where you'd take them to ogle the models and scenesters who seem to have accidentally lost their way to the meat packing district. The feel is much more Spice Market than Mark.
That's not to say it's not exciting. The ceilings are strung with chandeliers vaguely reminiscent of jellyfish, or perhaps swarms of shrimp. Clusters of barnacles that look like they were applied with the world's most expensive bedazzler cling to the corners of the walls. It's an energetic place to be in, and the crowds have never been short of frenetic.
The restaurant is relatively new, and the service is still inconsistent. On one night a hostess promised a 20 minute wait time that stretched into nearly an hour, which was passed in a pleasant chat with the bartender over a Rye Tai ($16), their particularly dry version of the tiki bar classic. On another night, our waiter cleared a half-eaten but wonderfully sweet and flavorful plate of Lobster Rice ($19) from our table, took ten paces towards the kitchen, then plucked out a half eaten lobster claw with his fingers and ate it in full view of a half dozen tables. I should have warned him we left the claws because they were a little overcooked.
It's fortunately easy to forget many of these trespasses once the food finally starts arriving. You'll immediately get distracted by the Pea Guacamole ($11) as you try and figure out if the guacamole itself has actual mashed peas in it, or if that sweet flavor is coming solely from the whole peas sprinkled on top that pop in your mouth like spring-filled caviar. Or you may find yourself wondering if those same spring peas would make a robust enough filling for a crisp, deep-fried empanada (the answer is yes, though you'll want to go a little light on the fiery chili yogurt sauce it comes with if you don't want to cover it up).
Those empanadas are the most impressive item on a largely well-executed selection of masa and tortilla-based snacks. Also topping that list are Glazed Short Rib Tacos ($14)—incredibly tender and moist chunks of glazed short rib tucked into fresh-cooked corn tortillas. They're precious enough that you'll want to pick at them with a fork, daintily plucking the fried onion rings that crown their tops, but they're better eaten as intended—messy, with your hands, letting the oniony habanero relish drip onto your plate where you can pick it back up with your last scrap of tortilla.
On occasion those tortillas have been slightly dry—on one visit they were saved by the juiciness of their Pulled Pork ($12) filling, but you'll get no such help with the Crispy Fish ($13), which comes impeccably fried, but needs a bit more creamy aioli in there to help wash it down for times when the tortillas are lacking. Akaushi Beef Slider Tacos are—as fancy beef burgers almost always are—a waste of good meat, and the only real misstep on an otherwise impeccably designed menu.
As at ABC Kitchen, Kluger is at his best when he's doing simple dishes based on seasonal vegetables. Five fat stalks of perfectly tender-crisp Grilled Asparagus ($10) dressed with slivers of pickled onion, and chunks of Marcona almond with a wedge of lime, for instance. Or a nest of English peas and Sugar Snap Peas ($10) dressed in a bright citrus vinaigrette with a swirl of housemade sour cream.
Making a full meal out of these sorts of snacks comes more easily than you'd think—It's the type of menu where you can plan to order only a few items but tack on a half dozen more as the waiter starts walking away because you just can't stand to leave without trying the Patagonian Poached Prawns ($18) with their paprika aioli (wise move). But if you want to fill up in a more efficient manner, your best bet is the rice section, the best of which is the Arroz con Pollo ($19).
It's chicken and rice that lands somewhere in between risotto and a paella in its creaminess, and more intensely chicken-y than you'd expect with nothing but a light sprinkle of lemon zest and a few shards of crisped chicken skin to break its comfortingly uniform texture. It's cooked to order and takes about half an hour to get to the table, so make sure you have other snacks to keep you occupied in the mean time.
Desserts are fun, with an Impossible Flan ($8)—that's a flan cooked in a bath of salted caramel—and a trio of seasonally flavored popsicles leading the charge. Actually, fun is what largely sums up the experience. The food is not too serious, but seriously tasty, and the atmosphere is charged. You'll just have to learn to take the waits and slips in service in stride.

All air passengers flying into or out of UK airports must ensure their electronic devices are charged, following updated guidance from the Department for Transport (DfT).
Advice issued at the weekend concerned passengers flying to the United States, but last night that instruction was widened to affect anyone flying into or out of the UK.
A spokesman for DfT said: "In line with the US advice, passengers on some routes into and out of the UK may now also be required to show that electronic devices in their hand luggage are powered up or face not being allowed to bring the device onto the aircraft.
"Passengers flying into or out of the UK are therefore advised to make sure electronic devices being carried in their hand luggage are charged before they travel."
No specific routes have been highlighted, and the spokesman said they hope to " minimise disruption as far as possible".
New restrictions requiring all electronic devices, including mobile phones and tablets, to be charged so they can be switched on for security staff were announced by US authorities on Sunday.
The heightened security comes amid reports two terror networks are working together on a bomb that could evade existing measures.
Last week the DfT said undisclosed extra measures at British airports were not expected to cause ''significant disruption'' to passengers and noted that the official UK threat status remained unchanged.
US officials were reported to have said the move to increase security at airports from where aircraft fly directly to the US was the result of intelligence that al Qaida's chief bomb maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who is thought to be based in Yemen, had linked up with jihadists in Syria to pass on his skills.
Last week Prime Minister David Cameron said decisions had been made based on "the evidence in front of us" and in co-operation with America.
''The safety of the travelling public must come first. We mustn't take any risks with that," he told the BBC.
''I hope this won't lead to unnecessary delays but it's very important that we always put safety first, and we do.''
Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, said the increased airport security measures were "unavoidable".
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, he said jihadi extremists were deploying "devilish technical skill" to create ever more sophisticated devices to evade existing security measures.
Mr Cameron's official spokesman told a regular Westminster media briefing that the tightening of security measures at airports "reflects the fact that there are terror organisations that seek to do UK citizens, the UK and citizens of other countries harm, and that we always need to be vigilant to what is an evolving threat."
The spokesman added: "That is why we always keep our security measures under review and update them when necessary."

Sections 01-03: Designed strictly for new students and current white belts. Our program of the martial arts is an "education-based" curriculum; where character building, leadership skills, goal setting and constant and never ending improvement all play vital roles. This means that in addition to learning traditional techniques of the martial arts, children are also taught the importance of respect, self-confidence, self-esteem and anger management. We strive to provide each student with a positive image on how they behave in the dojo (training hall), home and school. The introduction program is designed to prepare each student for their yellow belt training, so that they can further their martial arts training in our year round colored belts program. Students are allowed to sign up for more than one night to advance their training if desired. For more information visit www.creightonmartialarts.com.
Sections 04-09: This advanced martial arts for kids program is a continuation of training after completion of Level I introduction to the martial arts for children program. Students signing up for this program must have already achieved their yellow belt in Goshin Jutsu. After building a basic foundation of the martial arts in the introduction program, students in the advanced program are seeking to further their training by learning different colored belt requirements within the curriculum. The main emphasis in this program is to focus on the concept of "constant and never ending improvement". It is our goal to help students follow through to the rank of black belt and eventually advanced study in the adult curriculum. For more information visit www.creightonmartialarts.com.

Course handbook
While historians deal principally with written texts, they are increasingly turning to film as an important source of historical evidence. Historians are also interested in interrogating the constructed nature of filmic accounts and the ways in which films represent the past. These concerns form key themes of Reel History. Moreover, the development of critical engagement and visual literacy across a range of film genres is increasingly necessary in a world saturated in visual media. To this end, a range of films and historical and theoretical texts will be investigated. Examples of both documentary and dramatic screen texts will be used in the course, and some use may also be made of experimental film.
Not currently offered.
This Course was last offered in Semester 1 - 2015.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate awareness of film as an historical medium and the capacity to critically read a film as an historical source or representation.
2. Use theoretical perspectives to inform an awareness of the contested nature of historical representation within the medium of film and to apply this across a range of historical media.
3. Demonstrate the ability to conduct research independently, and to express clear and informed arguments, either orally or in writing, on various aspects of film and history.
4. Display awareness of the ways in which an interdisciplinary approach can inform understandings of the past.
The course will be taught in a thematic way and will introduce students to the concept of film as cultural artefact, The overarching construct linking the selection of film is the concept of representation. Following introductory lectures on how to read a visual text and genres of historical film, the course is structured around a selection of themes. The themes may include cinematic representations of childhood and youth; gender and sexualities; Indigenous histories; surf culture; and politics and war over a range of historical periods.
Assumed knowledge
A general knowledge of history will be assumed equivalent to that acquired in two ten-unit courses of history. No previous study of film and history will be assumed.
Assessment items
Written Assignment: Written paper
Report: Four reviews based on films and readings
Report: Written paper on oral presentation
Presentation: Oral seminars
In Term Test: Class end of semester test
