WATCH: Islam & Muslims in the 2016 US Presidential Campaigns
This page (compiled by Julie Poucher Harbin, Editor, ISLAMiCommentary) is intended to provide readers with videos showing what the leading presidential candidates in the U.S. presidential election of 2016 have to say about Islam and Muslims. ISLAMiCommentary neither opposes nor supports any candidate for public office. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order.
*Videos last updated on June 14, 2016. Only Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump remain in the race. All other candidates have since dropped out of the race.
June 13, 2016:Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds her first campaign address after a shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that killed 49. At 35:53 Clinton addressed the Orlando shootings,terrorism, gun violence.
March 23, 2016: In a foreign policy speech at Stanford University, Clinton called Ted Cruz's proposal to "patrol and secure" Muslim-American neighborhoods "wrong," "counter-productive," and "dangerous."
Mar 22, 2016: Clinton (on ABC News) on US strategy toward ISIS following the terrorist attack in Belgium and about American Muslims in the US as a first line of defense. Plus her reaction to comments by Donald Trump about closing borders to Muslims.
January 26, 2016: Clinton was asked about the constitutional rights of all people during CNN's town hall. She said that "American Muslims deserve better."
December 8, 2015: A clip from Clinton's speech at Woodbury School Salem NH regarding ISIS & Muslims and Trump and other GOP candidate comments. (Video Produced & recorded by Larry Seaman for Salem Community Television)
November 19, 2015: (via Real Clear Politics) Clinton said: "The bottom line is that we are in a contest of ideas against an ideology of hate, and we have to win. Let's be clear, though, Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people, and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. The obsession in some quarters with a clash of civilization, or repeating the specific words radical Islamic terrorism isn't just a distraction, it gives these criminals, these murderers more standing than they deserve. It actually plays into their hands by alienating partners we need by our side."
June 12, 2016: Sanders On Orlando Shooting, His Campaign (Full Interview) and his opinion on Trump and Trumps insults to Muslims and Mexicans.
Mar 23, 2016: Senator Sanders shares his thoughts on the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium and Trump's response regarding Muslims. "At the end of the day, we cannot allow the Trumps of the world to use these incidents to attack all of the Muslim people in the world. That is unfair," he continued to cheers. "To imply that if somebody is a Muslim they're a terrorist, that is an outrageous statement." More here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/23/bernie-sanders-on-kimmel-trump-using-brussels-to-attack-all-muslims.html
Feb.18, 2016: During a Clinton/Sanders town hall event held February 18 in Las Vegas, Sanders responded to a question from a US Muslim physician on how he would deal with Islamophobia if he were president. Sanders called out Donald Trump and others for their Islamophobic and racist comments.
Feb. 10, 2016: Fresh off of his win in the New Hampshire primary, Sanders stops by The Late Show to talk about why his campaign is different. (0332) On Trump supporters: "They have responded to Trump's false message which suggests that if we keep Muslims out of this country or we keep scapegoating Latinos or Mexicans, that somehow our country becomes better."
October 28, 2015: At a town hall speech in Virginia, Sanders hugged a Muslim student and promised to lead the fight against racism. "Let me be very personal if I might. I'm Jewish, my father's family died in concentration camps," he said."I will do everything that I can to rid this country of the ugly stain of racism that has existed for far too many years."
December 16, 2015: During an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell, Sanders responds to Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.
JUNE 13, 2016: Donald Trump: The Muslims have to work with us.. In maybe his most direct language on the subject to date, Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump blamed the Muslim community for their silence in the days leading up to the Orlando nightclub shooting as well as the previous shooting in San Bernardino.
In the wake of the tragedy in Orlando, Donald Trump has renewed his call for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States – despite Omar Mateen being a natural born U.S. citizen. To that, Trump says it means "we need far better intelligence gathering."
MAY 4, 2016: Republican presidential candidate and likely GOP nominee, Donald Trump, joined the MSNBC program "Morning Joe" this morning to discuss his big Indiana win last night and where he goes from here.
Program co-host Joe Scarborough pressed Trump on whether, as President, he would implement his idea of banning Muslims from entering the U.S. — a proposal Trump has discussed at past campaign events. Trump didn't reject the idea.
(Watch video below. If it doesn't work see video section here: http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe)
SEE SYNOPSIS BELOW from The Hill:
Donald Trump stood by his call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. Wednesday, saying he doesn't care if it hurts him in the general election.
"I don't care if it hurts me," the presumptive GOP presidential nominee said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday. "I'm doing the right thing when I do this. And whether it's Muslim or whether it's something else, I mean, I have to do the right thing, and that's the way I've been guided."
"And I've been guided by common sense, by what's right," he continued. "And you see what's happening. We have to be careful. I mean, we're allowing thousands of people to come into our country, thousands and thousands of people being placed all over the country that frankly nobody knows who they are. They don't have documentation in many cases — in most cases. And we don't know what we're doing."
Trump initially called for a blanket ban on all Muslims entering the country in December, following mass shootings carried out by terrorists in Paris and Southern California.

December 15, 2015: Huckabee said in the undercard CNN debate that Muslims should be "begging" the government to come in and surveil mosques if they think Islam is so great. Hugh Hewitt asked Huckabee if it violates Muslims' First Amendment rights. Huckabee said no it doesn't because houses of worship are public places that everyone can go to. He asked, "How does it violate anybody's First Amendment rights that somebody shows up because they might want to just listen in and see is there something that is a little nefarious?" He said if there's anything untoward said, then the FBI can get search warrants.
December 7, 2015: On Fox's The Real Story, Huckabee said the president's characterization of Muslims 'doesn't exist with the facts.'
March 27, 2016: Kasich joins Meet the Press to discuss the state of the GOP presidential primary and the terror attack in Brussels, and speaks to a 'knee-jerk' reaction (from some GOP contenders) to terrorism that blames Muslims and seeks to ban Muslim immigrants from the U.S.

3.5 out of 5 Licks
A man who thinks he has what he wants.
Bran Johnson always knew he wanted to be a Marine. What makes it even better is longtime gal pal TK is now stationed at the same base. Unfortunately, Bran is having a hard time dealing with his feelings when he realizes that TK is considered a hot commodity on base. Worse, he finds himself taking a backseat to her admirers.
A woman who always wished for more.
Tess Keller has loved Bran since they were in high school. The former football captain always treated her like a friend so she tried to move on. Unfortunately, he's in her business constantly now. One passionate argument leads to more than either of them expected. Tess knows it isn't going to last because Bran is never going to settle down. So, to save face, she suggests they stay friends, only with the side benefit of being sometime lovers.
A Marine determined to win at all costs.
Bran agrees to the friends with benefits idea just to keep himself close to Tess. She might think he's not around for the long haul, but this is one Johnson brother who knows exactly what he wants…and just how to get it. And what he wants is Tess in his bed and in his life forever. Nothing will stop him, not even Tess herself.
I love hot military men and I've always thought the Marine's have the best dress blues so I was very happy to read a book about them. We met the Johnson Brothers while enjoying The Santinis. In fact MJ (the only Johnson girl) married a Santini. One of my favorite things about series and spinoffs is that we usually get to see characters from previous books and we get a few glimpses of MJ in this one. I love the determination in Bran, he is the epitome of a Marine and he never gives up on what he wants. Once he figured out that Tess is what he wants he doesn't let anyone get in her way especially Tess herself. Tess was more comfortable keeping Bran at arms length, but with all that sexy Marine action coming at her even she couldn't resist him. They have some steamy sex and Bran is smacked in the face with the fact that he's in love with her and she backs away. Needless to say he won't let that happen. It started slowly, but started running toward the end. The ending felt a bit rushed for me, but we got complete resolution with an epilogue-which I love! 🙂 And really who doesn't love a friends to lovers story?

Sir: I do not know what you mean by "Many courses are narrowly conceived: for example, the mix of disciplines in Oxford's famous Philosophy, Politics and Economics course looks inflexible by today's standards" ("The price of an Oxbridge degree", 13 June). Since PPE currently offers 65 finals options, plus the chance of writing a thesis on a topic of your choice, "narrow" does not seem the right word. And since each component subject has recently made significant syllabus changes, "inflexible" does not seem appropriate either.
Yours faithfully,

Show all 3 references for ABIN365765
These data supports a model whereby Wnt signaling through Frizzled-3a attenuates expression of Slit2 in the rostral midline of the forebrain.
In embryonic axon tracts, Robo2 (show ROBO2 ELISA Kits) responds to signals from slit2 and slit3 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits).
Data show that Hedgehog (show SHH ELISA Kits) signaling is required for commissure formation, glial bridge formation, and the restricted expression of the guidance molecules slit1a, slit2, slit3 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits) and sema3d (show SEMA3D ELISA Kits).
Slit acts via Robo2 (show ROBO2 ELISA Kits) in dendrites as a branching/growth factor but not in guidance, while Robo2 (show ROBO2 ELISA Kits) and Robo3 (show ROBO3 ELISA Kits) function in concert in axons to mediate axonal interactions and respond to Slits as guidance factors
Study shows that Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits) mRNA and protein levels were significantly reduced in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC (show F9 ELISA Kits)) specimens and implicates Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits) functions as a negative regulator in the development and progression of PTC (show F9 ELISA Kits).
Overexpression of Slit2 induces its tumor suppressive effects in Breast cancer.
Significantly increased serum Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits) levels and hepatic expression of Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits) and Robo1 (show ROBO1 ELISA Kits) were observed in patients with liver fibrosis.
our findings indicated that Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits)/Robo1 (show ROBO1 ELISA Kits) axis possibly be regarded as a significant clinical parameter for predicting brain metastasis in breast cancer patients.
These results suggest that Slit2/Robo1 binding exerts an effect on cell migration, which is negatively regulated by Robo4, and Robo1 may function by interacting with CdGAP in HUVECs.
VEGFR2 (show KDR ELISA Kits) activation was not affected by Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits), but eNOS (show NOS3 ELISA Kits) phosphorylation was diminished
Slit2-exon 15 splicing variants have different roles in angiogenesis and HUVEC permeability
Data indicate that SLIT2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits), miR (show MLXIP ELISA Kits)-218-1, RET (show RET ELISA Kits)/PLAG1 (show PLAG1 ELISA Kits) and SLIT2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits)/ROBO1 (show ROBO1 ELISA Kits) pathway involved in Hirschsprung's disease.
Slit2 (show SLIT3 ELISA Kits)/Robo1 (show ROBO1 ELISA Kits) signaling promotes intestinal tumorigenesis through Src (show SRC ELISA Kits)-mediated activation of the Wnt (show WNT2 ELISA Kits)/beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 ELISA Kits) pathway.
In this review, we summarize recent findings demonstrating that the neuronal guidance cues, Slit and Roundabout (show ROBO1 ELISA Kits) (Robo), prevent the migration of multiple leukocyte subsets towards diverse inflammatory chemoattractants.
In mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), the expression level of miR-218 was significantly downregulated. Robo1 expression was suppressed by miR-218. Furthermore, in the mice with OIR, the expression level of miR-218 was significantly downregulated, and that of miR-218-1 and its host gene, Slit2, was concomitantly downregulated as well.
Slit2 induces a robust activation of PKA signaling, which is required for its prothermogenic activity.
Robo1-Slit2 interaction required for pathfinding mechanism essential to establish the functionally important habenulo-interpeduncular connection.
Together, these observations suggest that Slit2 serves as a factor utilized by muscle Ctnnb1 (show CTNNB1 ELISA Kits) to direct presynaptic differentiation.
Slit2 acts as a repellant cue to mediate axon guidance in the formation of the anterior commissure.
Slit2/Robo1 (show ROBO1 ELISA Kits) signaling promotes intestinal tumorigenesis through Src (show SRC ELISA Kits)-mediated activation of the Wnt (show WNT2 ELISA Kits)/beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 ELISA Kits) pathway.
the two genes neuropeptide Y (Npy (show NPY ELISA Kits)) and Slit homolog 2 (Drosophila) (Slit2) gradually increase during aging, and upon suppression of these two genes
Data shows that modulation of angiostatic factor Slit2 by EphA2 receptor regulates endothelial responses to VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and tumor neovascularization.
administration of Slit2 to atherosclerosis-prone LDL receptor (show LDLR ELISA Kits)-deficient mice inhibited monocyte recruitment to nascent atherosclerotic lesions.
Results provide novel evidence that low expression of SLIT2 correlates with poor prognosis and promotes metastasis in ESCC, which may be regulated by the Cdc42 (show CDC42 ELISA Kits)-mediated pathways.

Annual Professional Performance Review- An F-M Overview
In 2009 President
Obama offered grant funds through a program called "Race to the Top" to states
that overhauled their teacher evaluation system to include student achievement
in those evaluations. New York State
applied for the grant and received $700,000,000 to distribute among the school
districts. This created a demand for all
schools, even though they had evaluation procedures already in place, to
negotiate new evaluations under very strict guidelines that complied with
Chapter 103 of the Laws of 2010. These
evaluations are called APPR – Annual Professional Performance Review.
Teachers began receiving a
rating (from 0-100) based on the following areas:
The law required that a
district's APPR plan be mutually developed with the teachers association and
include details regarding these three sections. All plans were required to be
submitted to the State Education Department and approved by them. If they were not approved, they were to be
resubmitted until the State Education Department accepted them. Our plan was submitted in 2010 for 4-8
teachers and the following year for the rest of the district. Upon submission, it was approved with no need
for changes.
Throughout this process
both the District and the Teachers' Association created an advisory
committee. The Association asked that
one person from each building become an APPR expert for their group and be the
liaison between the teachers and the Association President, the negotiator
representing them.
The role of this group is to be knowledgeable of any changes related to APPR, be an advisory committee to the President, get feedback from teachers and help to create any requested or suggested changes that the membership is interested in pursuing. If changes are requested, the entire document must be resubmitted and reviewed.
The complete APPR plan can be found below and on the District Share folder. This section also includes the NYSUT Rubric; the mutually agreed upon rubric for the 60 pt. Multiple Measures section, a placemat of abbreviated rubric expectations, and the Mini-Observation form used for walk-through assessments.
If changes are made to our APPR plan at any time, this section of our Professional Development website will be updated.

2017 Online Baccarat Gambling Guide
Playing online baccarat is a very popular real money online gambling option for Canadians, and there are plenty of online casinos offering an excellent gaming experience. Our reviews team vets all the sites around to shortlist the very best available in Canada, taking you through games and bonus quality, banking security and site trustworthiness.
Here we'll take you through:
- Why playing online baccarat is so much fun
- How to play online baccarat like a pro
- The top online baccarat sites for Canadians
Jackpot City voted top casino for baccarat games in 2017.
An Introduction To Online Baccarat
Baccarat online gambling games are often played for high stakes, with people betting and winning large amounts. Playing baccarat for real money often conjures up images of glamorous European casinos, and there is plenty of fun to be had and money to be won at many a baccarat casino online.
If you're keen to get started with online baccarat, go to our selection of free games and try a few options out.
How to play baccarat online
The rules of the game at a baccarat casino online are fairly simple on the surface. The banker (the baccarat dealer) and the player are each dealt two cards and add their value together to create a points total from the second digit of the addition of the two card values. If a gambling online baccarat player is dealt a five and a three the total will be eight, but if they have a five and a nine their total is four rather than fourteen - only the second digit counts.
When gambling with online baccarat, the most common form of the game for real cash is called Punto Banco. Players can bet on their own hand ('punto'), the banker's hand ('banco'), or a tie between the two ('standoff'), while the dealer will always be betting on banco.
The aim of baccarat online gambling is to get as close to nine as possible with the hand that you're betting on, and if only one of the starting two card real money baccarat hands is an eight or a nine then that hand wins. If neither does, then the dealer may deal another card to one or both of the two hands.
Player's rule and banker's rule
The player in online gambling baccarat games will stand pat on a 6 or 7 (i.e. draw no extra cards), but draw on anything from 0-5. This real cash online baccarat rule is called the 'player's rule'.
The 'banker's rule' is slightly more complicated. If a player stands pat then the banker follows the 'player's rule', but if the baccarat online casino player draws a third card then the banker follows the following set of rules:
- If the banker total is 2 or less, then the banker always draws a card, regardless of the player's third card
- If the banker total is 3, then the bank draws a third card unless the player's third card is an 8.
- If the banker total is 4, then the bank draws another card if the player's third card was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
- If the banker total is 5, then the bank draws a third card if the player's third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
- If the banker total is 6, then the bank draws a third card if the player's third card was a 6 or 7.
- If the banker total is 7, then the banker stands, regardless of the player's cards

Online Baccarat variants
While punto banco is the most common baccarat online gambling games, and some online casino sites will sometimes just call Punto Banco 'Baccarat' in their lobby, there are some other variants for real cash baccarat players.
Chemin de fer (or 'chemmy') is the original French version and sees the role of the banker passed around between the players. When an online gambling baccarat player is designated as the banker, they can only bet on their own hand. Some real money baccarat games will allow players to pass up their go as the banker, but this varies depending on which baccarat online casino you play at. When learning how to win at baccarat it makes sense to check this out before starting to gamble for real cash.
A third variant, Baccarat banque, is less common in baccarat online gambling sites. While in Chemin de Fer sees the role of banker pass to the next player as soon as the banker loses, real cash Baccarat banque usually uses three decks of cards the same player stays as banker until they 'retire' as banker or until all the cards have been dealt.

How to win at baccarat
When playing baccarat for real money you might be tempted by the standoff bet - betting on a tie between the player and banker - as this pays out 8:1 or 9:1 compared to the even-money punto and banco bets. However this is mathematically the worst long-term bet for baccarat online gambling players.
Banco has a slightly better chance of winning when playing baccarat for real money, and while both punto and banco pay out even money (1:1), players must pay a 5% commission on winning banco bets. However even with this commission accounted for, the house edge on banco is lower than on punto.
The payouts are not huge in relation to real cash baccarat bets, but in online gambling baccarat is one of the games with the lowest house edges. Once you've worked out how to play baccarat you can give yourself a decent chance of winning when you play baccarat for real cash.
Baccarat FAQ
Where can I play for real money?
There are hundreds of sites all over the web where Canadians can play baccarat for real cash. Fortunately, we've done a lot of the hard work for you and found the best places to play.
Although legislation prevents any online casinos from operating within Canada, many top international casinos have made it very easy for Canucks to join the action by allowing deposits and withdrawals in Canadian Dollars and offering the same range of bonuses and promotions they do to other players from all over the world.
Is online baccarat rigged?
No. It's easy to see why some people think this might be the case, as the selection of the winning card(s) takes place out of the view of players. This leads many players to believe that online casinos operate by selecting whichever option will lose them the least money.
This couldn't be further from the truth. All cards are dealt using a random number generator, which isn't even built by casinos themselves. Additionally, all random number generators used by casinos are subject to third party inspections by independent auditors. The odds for online baccarat are exactly the same as playing the game in a land-based casino.
Can I play for fun?
Yes, all the best casinos offer a 'play for free' option when you first sign in. Choose this instead of playing for real money and you can spend as long as you want playing baccarat, or any other casino game provided it doesn't involved a progressive jackpot, without spending any cash.
It's worth noting that the odds in 'play for fun' games are exactly the same as their real cash equivalents, so there's no danger of the game suddenly skewing in favour of the house if/when you decide to start betting on the action.
Where can I play on a Mac?
Some casino sites offer Mac specific casino clients, which will take the form of a .pkg or a .dmg file instead of the .exe associated with Windows. However, the vast majority of Mac users play casino games in their browser using no download, also known as instant play, casinos.
Although the graphics are sometimes slightly more basic in a no download casino, many Canadian Mac–and PC, for that matter–users prefer them as it means they don't have to download anything, can use their account on any Internet-enabled computer, tablet or smartphone and can be sure they're always playing the most up-to-date version of baccarat offered by the casino.
Is it possible to employ a strategy online?
In a word, no. Using a betting system online, such as doubling your bet with every loss as dictated by the Martingale system, is dangerous because it only takes a few unlucky bets before you're wagering very large sums of money to make only a small profit.
Also, betting limits employed by most online casinos make it difficult to rely on a betting system as you're not always able to wager the amount you need to be able to in order to recoup your losses. Baccarat is best treated as a game of chance; stick with the banker and player bets, avoid the tie and try to have some fun.

Romano Prodi, the incoming president, intends setting up a New Labour- style media "war room" in Brussels to monitor press reaction and issue orders to offices around the European Union. About 500 personnel will be deployed to try to cut the number of negative stories arising about the Commission.
Another 150 are likely to be recruited for the new "press and communications unit". Journalists, television producers and public relations executives have been approached, the aim being to have high-profile staff answering questions in public.
Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader and now an EU commissioner, last week said Mr Prodi wanted to give greater priority to providing information on the EU's policy and agenda. A spokesman for the Commission also admitted that the EU, in the past, had "in many cases failed to get the message across at all".
Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's press secretary, has advised Mr Prodi on how to improve the Commission's image, and recently Ricardo Levi, the president-designate's spokes-man, has, in turn, visited London to discuss the shake-up.
Mr Campbell is convinced that the British public is hostile to the single currency, mainly because of antagonism to the Commission, which is perceived to be over-bureaucratic and corrupt.
Mr Prodi knows that he is fighting a losing battle with the British press, where coverage of Brussels has always concentrated on sleaze, rules about straight bananas, and bans on double-decker buses. He hopes the improved media operation will have an impact in other EU countries where newspapers are less hostile to Brussels.
But John Maples, the shadow foreign secretary, was scathing about the proposals. "Instead of taking the lead in cleaning up Brussels and restoring public confidence in its integrity, he is creating a massive army of Euro spin doctors whose job it will be to soften up ... Britain in preparation for the scrapping of the pound."

The Village Inn Restaurant had great Mexican Food and American Food. However, was told it closed in July of 2014. There are hopes it will be reopened sometime in the future.
The Village Inn Restaurant is next door to the Village Inn Motel about a quarter mile from I 84 in Arlington, Oregon. It is an entirely reasonable place to get a decent, sit-down meal on the road.
I had the bbq beef with fries. The service was great, the sandwich was fine, and the cost was reasonable: a little less...
While on a road trip, we stopped in Arlington with the hope of eating lunch but not expecting much in the small town. We were pleasantly surprised with the great Mexican food offered at the Village Restaurant. There was a good variety of dishes and sizes of dishes (something for every appetite). We don't drive through Arlington often, but will...
We were skeptical about this restaurant that we have passed up for better known places so it was a pleasant surprise to find the Mexican food enjoyable. The waitress was friendly and accommodating. We would eat here again.
We stopped in on a recent road trip to Portland. Just happened to be the right place at the right time.
My wife and I ordered taco salads (its pretty much a Mexican restaurant though it bills itself as mexican and american food. Anyway, when the waitress bring the salads out she looks at mine and says "this must be...
If we hadn't stopped in at Arlington on our way to Portland, we would have missed out on the great Mexican food this restaurant serves. Friendly staff and a good sized portion that rivals any well known Mexican eateries. Be prepared to be hungry as the portions are large.!

After the London Evening Standard reported that unusually large parcels of stock were changing hands, Yates today said it 'has received a request from another party for information on the company'.
A management buyout bid backed by US venture capital house GI Partners is already on the table. The 140p-a-share offer values the group at £93m.
The Standard had revealed that City broker Commerzbank swept up about 9% of Yates' stock earlier this week at around 142p a share. The shares rose 1 1/2p today to 147 1/2p.
Yates said it had been forced to declare the potential second bidder to the Stock Exchange after the Standard's report.
It said financial information on the company has been made available to the new suitor but added: 'This party has not yet accessed the information and nor have the independent directors received any offer proposal from this party.'

DISTNAME is the name of the port as called by the authors of the software. DISTNAME defaults to ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}, so override it if necessary. DISTNAME is only used in two places. First, the distribution file list (DISTFILES) defaults to ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}. Second, the distribution file is expected to extract into a subdirectory named WRKSRC, which defaults to work/${DISTNAME}.
Note: PKGNAMEPREFIX and PKGNAMESUFFIX do not affect DISTNAME. Also note that when WRKSRC is equal to work/${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION} while the original source archive is named something other than ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}, you should probably leave DISTNAME alone-- you are better off defining DISTFILES than having to set both DISTNAME and WRKSRC (and possibly EXTRACT_SUFX).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – "Can you spot the differences?"
Back when I did my "World at War" review I mentioned how the "Call of Duty" teams, despite taking small strides in terms of capturing the essence of a powerful, dramatic scenario like war, were still clinging to an essentially game-y experience, laden with obnoxious elements, the most displeasing of all being the HUD. Well, someone at funny or die must have read my mind, because they edited a video of what would it be like to "play" – "Call of Duty" style – the Normandy scene from Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan". It's not only a funny video clip, as it ends up posing the same questions I (and others) have been making. Think about it, sooner than you think, we'll have quasi-realistic graphics in video games, and despite the emotional, aesthetic potential of these superbly rendered images, games remain ever focused on crude notions of "fun", rather than tapping the possibilities that come with that potential expressiveness. The "Call of Duty" brand is an excellent example of this. Despite their huge success, their creators are still delivering, detailed graphics aside, the exact same game as they were back in "Allied Assault". And whilst their games are increasingly visceral and continue to establish powerful ambiances with their over-glorified engines and whatnot, all those elements remain effectively meaningless in terms of the interactive experience. It's still a game about shooting lifeless dummies as well as you can. It's still the game about becoming a macho warrior. It's still a game about feeling empowered and invincible. And it's still a game about saving the world from the big bad men. Admit it, we're still playing "Wolfenstein 3D". There is still no point to it, no emotional sub-text or rhetoric involved in the games' discourse.
Which is why all the controversy surrounding the "Modern Warfare 2's" infamous "No Russian" level just seems absolutely ridiculous to me. It's crude, silly and completely out of context in the game. I guarantee you that any emotion you might feel during that sequence will vanish after five seconds of you understanding what's going on. Under the guise of forcing you to face the horrors of terrorists, the game developers simply deliver the exact same game-y experience, but for one difference, your opponents have no weapons, and bleed more than your typical grunt. They shout screams of horror, but we are talking of the same mass of generic, cardboard beings which you happily kill during normal levels. When was the last time you felt disgusted from killing a cardboard image? Were those you kill real characters, with a story, a livelihood, an expressive behavior… creatures that had some sort of emotional involvement with us players, and maybe the scene would go beyond mere shock value. Video games have done it before, even in the first person shooter genre. To add to the detriment of the scene, those strange ethereal stars and cross-hairs are still flying above them, and it's still a level in which you have to kill to "win". The whole matter is as controversial as funny or die's video. It doesn't matter at all how realistic the characters look, because they're still over-glorified targets in a shooting range, as Eurogamer so elegantly put. There can be no drama in killing virtual plastic dolls, let alone when you're supposed to be some super warrior out to save the world, who just happens to have shot those same models thousands of times before, only with different clothing and less screaming. Killing them is as controversial as watching "Rambo" hack away the innards of some poor schmuck that just happens not to have an AK-47 lying around. It isn't dramatic. The schmuck is just a schmuck – an impersonal abstraction without any lifelike character, just like any other of the thousands of terrorists in line for a bullet in the brain.
This isn't the same as saying that "Modern Warfare 2" is just another piece of trash the industry spewed at us. Infinity Ward may take itself too seriously for their own good, they may not know how to write or tell a story that goes beyond the most naive patriotic bull or right-wing of conspiracies and they may not grasp the most basic aspects on how to create a character with some mildly nuanced form of emotion, but… but they do know how to make things blow up. Even Naughty Dog pales in comparison. Which is why "Modern Warfare 2", aside from the lackluster initial levels, is a trip worth taking, if only for the pure excitement it can deliver. Its authors have gone to great lengths to replicate some of the most enjoyable experiences from many other pop references, from "Black Hawk Down" and "James Bond" to "Resident Evil 5" and "Metal Gear Solid". Sure, it's dumb, rude and stupid, but it's also a superbly well paced, stylish and epic spectacle. Alas, when the game does end, nothing will remain except for the notion that you just experienced the most guilty of pleasures, the kind that leaves aught behind except for a kindling sparkle of warm adrenaline. We've seen this before, it was great then, it is great now, but honestly, this is not what we need right now. We need more, and this just ain't it.

Whoever claimed that size doesn't matter, probably didn't see this beautiful and inspiring website Let's Travel Somewhere.
Let's Travel Somewhere is a project by Nisa Maier. Nisa, who is a photographer herself, wants to capture the essence of every country on the planet through stunning photographs and gripping stories. But she can't do it all by herself. She believes that a single traveller can't live to see it all. That's why she started to collect and share inspiring photo-journeys by other striking travel photographers.
I really LOVE that format. Only horizontal wide images that really drawn you, the viewer, into the scenery.
I have contacted Nisa few weeks ago to compliment her on her beautiful project and offered to participate.
Vietnam is my first contribution to Let's Travel Somewhere. More here.
"I've always wanted to travel to Vietnam. An image of the lanterns in Hoi An, that I came across in a photography magazine, encouraged me to book a flight and go. Sometimes photographers will go on a journey just to get that single image that inspires them. I arrived in Ho Chi Minh at the end of January last year, at the midst of Tet Holiday. (The Vietnamese New Year). The streets were humming and buzzing with traffic. At the beginning I thought it was because of the holiday, but eventually I realized that this was Vietnam. A steady stream of motorbikes, rickshaws and cars driving around in both directions. Not once, did I join a group of people just to cross the street. I won't lie if sometimes I just held my breath, praying silently I would make it safe to the other side of the street.
I've been to Vietnam for almost 2 weeks and planned it time-wise to be in Hoi An on February 5th for the full moon festival, which is held on every 14th day of the lunar year. I ended up hopping from South (Ho Chi Minh) to North (Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay) and back to the Center to Hoi An, just to make it on time for the festival.
Vietnam is beautiful and fascinating. The street food is fresh and delicious, the people are inviting and friendly and the culture is captivating.
If you spin the Globe and want to travel somewhere, don't miss on Vietnam"
The Travel magazine, Travel +Leisure is publishing an annual book about the World's Greatest Hotels. This year, I was asked to shoot one of the most beautiful hotels in Acre, Israel, Efendi Hotel to be published in the book.
To see more images and my post about the Efendi, please click here.
In case you don't have a chance to get the World's Greatest Hotels' book, here is the text about Efendi;
'In the beach-lined port city of Acre, in Israel's northern Galilee, a pair of Ottoman – era mansions sat empty for years until local restaurateur Uri Jeremias saw their untapped potential. Under his watchful eye- and in strict accordance with Israel's Antiquities Authority guidelines – the two residences, complete with Byzantine walls and Crusader-period cellars, were intricately restored to become the palatial Efendi Hotel. The 12 white-on-white rooms are paragons of preservation, with marble floors and the original trompe l'oeil ceilings. In lieu of turndown chocolates, guests indulge in handmade Arab sweets presented in silver boxes. Israeli wines and pan-Mediterranean dishes are the focus in the 900-year-old cellar turned tapas bar; after you've had your fill, stroll south along the Mediterranean, passing the city's 4,000-year-old sights along the way.
I love PhotoShelter on line guides. In fact, I keep following and downloading them on my computer to learn more from this great on line photography community.
I was honored to be mentioned in the recent guide 'Creating a Successful Photography Portfolio' with the mailer I send out to Photo Editors. You can read all about it under the section; 5 Tips for Going Beyond the Portfolio Review, by Frank Meo, from the Photo Closer.
Tip no. 4: Follow up, send targeted, exceptional mailer, Frank mentions my mailer and says:
"Sivan Askayo did a photo essay of people hanging their laundry around the world, and you can imagine what they look like; a young girl's ballerina outfit hanging on a beautiful pink wall etc. To set herself apart, she focused on the packaging of her photos themselves. She printed postcard-sized images, boxed them and wrapped the box with rope, swatches of clothes and tiny clothespins. What a beautiful mailer. It cost her $15-$20 a piece with the prints, clips and the box, so she sent them only to select people.
You have to really target; Don't send mailers to everybody. This shows that you peeled back the onion and you know who deserves it. It's all about whether or not you connected on that first date"
I am really excited to feature Sharon Webber Zvik on my blog. By the time this post is published, Sharon will be in Cuomo, Italy, receiving the Golden A' Design Award for Graphics and Advertising Design Category in 2012. The gold medal and this precious award will be given to her for the Pain and Suffering Research Branding she did.
It all started five years ago, when Dr. Smadar Bustan from Luxembourg University called Sharon and said: 'I have an International project on pain and suffering…but maybe you won't be interested…' but this sentence only raised Sharon's curiosity and urged her to learn more on this project and eventually, she supervised its design and branding. 'I had two requests from Dr. Bustan' Sharon told me 'First, to run away from cliches, and second; the freedom of creativity'.
For the shoot, I've decided to take Sharon to Jaffa's Flea Market, which seems to be one of her favorite locations since she is obsessed with vintage articles and style. Needless to mention the look on people's faces when they saw a woman in a fluffy white dress sitting on a vintage armchair in the middle of the road….
and here is a promo gif of my shoot with Sharon in Jaffa Flea Market. Doesn't she look beautiful?
I love to visit and shoot hotels that tell a story. And if the stories are colorful and photogenic, it is even better!
One of the most intriguing, colorful and photogenic hotels I shot recently is Alma Hotel & Lounge, considered as one of the most talked about hotels in Tel Aviv these days. The hotel, which was recently opened in the heart of Tel Aviv, set up immediately a new standard in luxury boutique hospitality in Tel Aviv and in Israel.
Alma in Hebrew means a young unmarried woman. It is also becoming a trendy name for girls these days. In Latin, Alma means 'soul'. I'm not sure if the hotel is named after a certain woman, but the name definitely adds a mystery and kind of appeal to it.
Imagine walking in dark long corridors that lead into 15 colorful rooms, each one is different that the other. Imagine opening each room's door, not knowing what to expect. But each room is a marvelous surprise. This is how I felt while I was shooting Alma Hotel.
Everything is well planned in Alma Hotel; from the choice of the building's location to the Bulgari soaps in the bathrooms or the colors of the pens in each room. I know it might sound like a cliche, but Alma has a rhythm and a character of its own.
Alma is located in Yavne street, at the heart of Tel Aviv UNESCO White City, among a collection of old but restored historic Bauhaus vivid buildings. The building's history goes back to 1925, as the first private residence designed for families to live side by side in the heart of Tel Aviv. The facade of the building was colored in olived green and the windows and shutters were colored in a darker shade of green. But this is just a hint to what is happening indoors. The restored identity of the hotel is a collaboration between the leading architecture and interior design studio Shaltiel Kastiel and the mosaic and glass artist Lauri Recanati.
The hotel has eight spacious deluxe rooms and seven studio suites, each uniquely designed, telling a different story of the building's bohemian past. The furnitures are a mix of vintage and heavily embellished unique furniture (hand picked for each room) with contemporary furniture and Art.
I've decided to start with my favorite suite, which some may call it (surprise, surprise) The Naughty Library.
The suite (image above and below) has the feel, as Recanati says, of 'an English boarding school on acid'. The suite has turquoise and black walls with diamond shape mirrors. The red colored rug is a great contrast and blast of color to the room. It matches perfectly with the red background of the book shelves. The Art books collection is quite appealing and I can easily see myself spending few days in that suite, soaking in the colors.
This beautiful suite has a marvelous back bed of a French or Dutch Aristocratic woman. The turquoise colored wall matches perfectly the purple rug. By the bed, there are two beautiful bedside tables made of wood, and a mosaic of ceramic, glass, metal and fabric, by the artist Lauri Recanati.
The following suite can give you the feeling of Welcome to the Jungle but in a very chic style. Turquoise walls, red hot wall-closet and a zebra skin rug on a checkered floor. This room has a beautiful balcony that is overlooking Yavne street. It has a walk-in bathing room, with an oval white bath in the middle of it. I can't think of the red sofas, but I'm obsessed with the red closet.
If you are longing for an oriental atmosphere, than the street level's suite can be a great choice. Painted in greens and reds (with an amazing red-white-black wallpaper) and an iconography image of the Spice Trail as a back bed, this suite is a real gem. The heavy brown curtains can create a perfect isolation from the busy street. This suite has the perfect oriental look bath tub of green-blue shades that match the colors of the windows.
And if you are looking for a great restaurant, than you have it right there. Alma Lounge is a bohemian chic space with a mix of Georgian inspired furniture blended with local contemporary Art. The chef, Yonatan Roshfeld, is a well known figure in Israel and the restaurant is one of the most expensive restaurants these days in Tel Aviv ($300 dinner for 2). It is a good way for visitors to meet the trend setters in Israel; restauranteurs, bankers, public figures in addition to expats.
If you are looking for one of the best hotels and the best experiences in the heart of Tel Aviv, look no further. Alma's professional crew will take care of you; from arranging a personal trainer, special tours in Tel Aviv and Israel, wine tasting, local deliveries, airport transportation, car rentals and even cooking lessons with the in house chef, you name it.
For reservations:
Alma Hotel & Lounge, 23 Yavne St. Tel-Aviv
Tel Aviv vs. Paris is an on going photography project I'm shooting. These are two cities I visit quite often and observe them as an outsider.
I must admit that I was very inspired by Vahram Muratyan's project 'Paris vs New York, a tally of two cities' so I decided to pull my photographic eye into it and see what comes up. I'm choosing a phrase/a location or a word (in bold) and see how it interacts in these two cities.

WATCH: Sweet And Adorable Music Video By Tom Fletcher Shows A Pregnancy Time Lapse
Youtube user and McFly singer , Tom Fletcher, documented his wife's pregnancy by way of videotaped time lapse.
The results are, for lack of a better word, phenomenal.
For a short period, she disappears from the video. I, personally, was confused until I saw her returning with their little bundle of joy. Buzz Michelangelo Fletcher came into the world March 13, 2014.
Not only did Fletcher create this video to document his wife's pregnancy, but he also sang the song that plays. In the video's description, he wrote, "we took photos every day through the 9 months of our pregnancy, this is the result (plus a little song I wrote called "Something New")."
Treat yourself to the perfection that is this video. Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Frequently Asked Questions56
Lots of people have lots of questions for Eileen about her current series, The World of the Lupi. We tried to gather the most frequently asked questions here. If you don't see your question here, why don't you pose the question on her facebook page or comment below?1. Why isn't TEMPTING DANGER the same story as the "Only Human" short story?When I first wrote "Only Human", I had a terrible time fitting it into the length required for a short story. I wanted more—more space to explore the characters and their world. Fortunately, my editor agreed. But in the process of turning the story into a full-length book, I discovered the truth of the adage that you can't step in the same stream twice. At least, I can't. The story grew and changed in so many ways that TEMPTING DANGER bears only a passing resemblance to the novella that gave birth to it. This is confusing for some readers. I'm sorry for that. Perhaps I should be more in control of where my stories go, but it doesn't seem to work that way.2. Are there more Kai & Nathan stories?Kai and Nathan, introduced in the "Inhuman" novella, have since made important appearances in NIGHT SEASON and RITUAL MAGIC. Now they have their own book: UNBINDING.3. What order should I read the books and short stories in?We anticipated your question and have a reading list page with a printable PDF for your viewing pleasure!4. Whatever happened with Molly and Michael from "Originally Human"?They're on a small yacht cruising the world. There are still people who desperately want to get their hands on Michael, but the Book of All Magic must remain hidden, or the power balance in the realms—all of them—will shift catastrophically. If you ever see Molly and Michael return to the series, well, you'll know that some very big and bad stuff is happening. Only two things would persuade Michael to come out of hiding: a direct threat to Molly . . . or something along the lines of the end of the world. Um . . . eventually you will see Molly and Michael return . . .5. What's the most recent book?DRAGON SPAWN is book #13, and it came out on December 6, 2016. Dragons love secrets more than gold, and one of those secrets is about to catapult Lily and Rule into strange and deadly territory.6. What are you working on now?I'm working on book 14--DRAGON BLOOD. No release date yet, but probably sometime in 2017.7. Will Rule and Lily ever have a baby?I used to answer this by saying I didn't know. I didn't. Now I do . . . but I'm not telling. ;-)

Hi, Ms. Wilks! I am re-reading the entire series, and I was wondering what Lily gave Cullen eventually when he returned from Edge for his baby gift?
What did Lily (eventually!) give to Cullen for a baby gift?
I see that there hasn't been much updating going on since Feb/2016. Is everything going okay? On the "Update" page there is the release of Mind Magic on 11/2015 and thats it. I am sure a busy schedule doesn't leave a lot of time for website updating, just wanted to check in.
Not sure if this has already been asked. Reading comments on my phone is irritating. Lol. I was wondering how you pronounce Arjenie? She's one of my favourite characters and I get a but obsessive when it comes to pronunciation anyway. Also, thanks for a great series. I've enjoyed experiencing the world of the Lupi immensely.

What is Electronic Arts going to do with the Star Wars license?
On E3 2014 EA Dice showed off a teaser for Star Wars Battlefront, a reimagination of the two game series developed by Pandemic. Star Wars Battlefront was then released in Q4 of 2015. The game received mixed reviews, due to the game playing well, but the content was lacking quite a bit. With some free updates Dice fixed the issue and Star Wars Battlefront is now a well round out game. There is still content coming for Star Wars Battlefront with free updates and the three expansions, which are to come this and next year. The Season Pass will include a Bespin Expansion, a Death Star Expansion and a mysterious Expansion, which will be announced later this year.

Mantle or DirectX 12 will one of them have the upper hand?
With Windows 10 Microsoft implemented their new graphics API (application programming interface) version called DirectX 12. There are not that many games using the new technology so far, as it has not been out for long. The only large games using DirectX 12 are Forza 6 Apex, Arma 3 aswell as DayZ, Hitman, Project Cars, Just Cause 3, Quantum Break and Rise of The Tomb Raider.
These Games demonstrated what graphical fidelity the new powerful API can output. On top of that DirectX 12 has way better performance than it's predecessor DirectX 11, which was and still is in use for quite some years. Continue reading "Mantle or DirectX 12 will one of them have the upper hand?"
