From the Spice Cupboard: Curry Powder and Its Alternatives
One of the commenters on our recipe for Curried Vegetable and Chickpea Stew brought up a question we actually get asked fairly frequently in our lives as cooks: Is there another spice that can be substituted for curry powder? Hear our thoughts after the jump!
First of all, understand that curry powder is actually a blend of several spices. There is an actual curry plant, but it's not what we think of as the curry spice. Curry powders are typically include tumeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and red pepper, with other spices thrown in depending on the brand you buy (or make!).
Not all curry powders are created equal. The blend, the proportions, and the quality and age of the spices in the blend can all be different, so keep trying new spice blends as you come across them and be discerning with where you buy your spices.
If you've already run the gamut of spice blends, it's likely that there's one particular spice within the blend that isn't to your liking. Try making your own curry spice blend - something we recommend doing at least once anyway! Not only can you control the freshness and quality of the spices, but you also get a feel for each spice individually. With some trial and error, you can identify which spice is the culprit and can tweak the recipe to your taste. We like the spice blend used in our recipe for Malaysian Beef Curry.
You can also try substituting garam masala. This is another Indian spice mix that tends to be sweeter to the palate than curry powder. Though garam masala also varies in the exact blend and in quality, it usually includes spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and coriander. Check out our recipe for DIY Garam Masala and give it a try in your next curry recipe.
Any other suggestions of particular curries to try or other spices to substitute?
2 Comments
Mmmm, I love curry. I was afraid of it for years, but then I finally tried Japanese curry, and then Thai, and then Indian. I can't believe I was missing out for so long!
I'd never buy curry powder to begin with, and tend to be suspicious of recipes that call for it. I either make curry recipes from scratch (using some whole or freshly crushed spices) or buy a curry paste or ready-made sauce, which has a million times more flavor. I think it's because of the ginger; the dried ginger in curry powder tastes very little like the fresh stuff.
Garam masala is nothing like curry (although it's very good, if you don't mind substituting something a little different.) I think it also contains (usually) a little black pepper.

SELBYVILLE, Del.-- It's been about two weeks since Superstorm Sandy drenched Delmarva, leaving one road literally in pieces. West Line road crumbled, and people who live there are now using alternate routes, until it's fixed.
The Delaware Department of Transportation has the road closed off and says it will be about a month until its fixed.
"We thought that it was just flooded and once the water went away after the storm we realized that the road was completely gone," said Debbie Kelley, she lives on the road.DelDOT says pipes underground failed during Sandy and the work to fix it is extensive. "We are currently developing a plan to have it repaired as quickly as possible. It will likely be weeks before the road is safe enough to open it to traffic," said Jim Westoff, DelDOT spokesman. But, for Kelley, it's been a headache. "We can either go around through Maryland to get through into Selbyville, or we have to go all the way around by route 54 in through Selbyville, in order to get where we needed to go," said Kelley.

The Edmonton Oilers have looked to the North American junior ranks (specifically the CHL) early and often in the four years since Stu MacGregor took over as Head Scout. As a result, there has been a tremendous amount of quality and quantity at the junior level for the exciting young club, players who will be pushing for roster spots at the pro level sooner than later. Many have graduated in recent years and are either pushing for a spot with the big club, or are established as NHL regulars already. There are still 10 junior level players in the Oilers system, many of whom are having very nice starts to their 2011-12 campaigns.

There aren't any real marquee match-ups today, but there are some pretty good looking games. Here are the match-ups:
Eagle Bank Bowl
Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Navy Midshipmen
This game is a rematch of an earlier game between these two teams. In the original, Navy beat Wake Forest on the road, 24-17. The Demon Deacons have revenge on the mind, and are actually favored to win this one by about a field goal. Navy hasn't allowed a point in their last two games.
81% of FanIQ picked Wake Forest to win.
Fresno State Bulldogs
Colorado State Rams
In the 2nd game of the day, Fresno State plays Colorado State in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Bulldogs had a bit of a disappointing season, with 4 of their 5 losses coming in games that many thought they should have won. In hindsight, the loss to Wisconsin was a pretty bad one, Hawaii and Nevada were bad losses at home, and even on the road, Louisiana Tech was beatable. Colorado State, on the other hand, did about as much as they could with the schedule they had. In the middle of the rankings in the Mountain West Conference, their only losses were to top-20 teams, and rival Colorado, from the Big 12.
This looks to be a good game, but in the end, Fresno State is just a better team. The only question is whether or not they'll be up for this game. Only one way to find out.
90% of FanIQ picked Fresno State to win.
MagicJack St. Petersburg Bowl
Memphis Tigers vs South Florida Bulls
In arguably the best named bowl game out there, the Memphis Tigers and the South Florida Bulls came into the MagicJack Bowl in the completely opposite way. South Florida is probably a bit disappointed with their bowl, as they finished the season with a pretty rough stretch, losing 5 of their last 7 after starting 5-0. Memphis, on the other hand, started the season with 3 straight losses, but then went 6-3 to finish at .500 on the season. They're probably pumped just to be there. But much like Colorado State, they might just be completely outmatched in this one, as South Florida is a much more talented team.
91% of FanIQ picked South Florida to win.
Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl
#16 Brigham Young Cougars vs Arizona Wildcats
There's not much better than seeing BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall cozying up next to a Vegas showgirl. I'm sure the Stormin' Mormon faithful in Utah will be excited to see this. Las Vegas is the best place ever for a BYU bowl game. The Cougars are another team coming off a bit of a disappointing season. After starting the season 6-0 and creeping up to the #9 spot, they lost to TCU, and then finished with a loss to Utah to finish 10-2. They probably should have gotten a better bowl game than this, but this is what they've got. They're in a no-win situation now, playing a talented Pac-10 team in a game that everyone thinks they should win, even though Arizona could still sneak one out. Max Hall and the offense should do fine, however, and get BYU a win.
75% of FanIQ picked BYU to win.

September 20th we're playing a show with Deer Tick and one of our favorite bands Jet Set Vapour Trails at 123 Pleasant Street . (Their debut album entitled"Cellophane Vampires" was recorded by Mark right here at Phantom Six headquarters) Tickets are $15. Showtime 10pm.
On September 25 we'll be back at 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown WV, this time with Georgia's The Woggles. You do not want to miss this show.
"For two decades, The Woggles have marched forth from Georgia like Sherman in reverse, leveling nightclubs with their hip-shaking, windshield-steaming garage rock fusillade" –Austin Chronicle.

Look for a vinyl and CD release of a live in studio compilation of a bunch of songs we've been playing live for a long time but haven't released since we became The Phantom Six. It'll probably include a few covers. Possibly a cd/double album set.
Videos from our "Plastic Rain" CD:
We got a great review on the "Cool Album Of The Day" blog at cool album review.com
The Phantom Six 'Plastic Rain'
Today's Cool Album of the Day (#855 in the Series) is The Phantom Six, Plastic Rain
Sitting on the outskirts of Morgantown, WV near the lunacy that is West Virginia University ( voted the "Number One" party school in the nation on and off for years by many different publications ) comes one of the best, well hidden garage bands out there today; The Phantom Six and their phenomenal debut, Plastic Rain.
Under the direction of lead vocalist/guitarist/songwriter/producer, Mark Poole (at his own Zone 8 Recording Studio, an often swelteringly hot, two room laboratory where Poole is both Jekyll and Hyde), this album is full of cool, crisp leads and rich, enigmatic lyrics. Add to it the floating harmonies and you get this fully produced gem with no empty space for the ear. It is brilliantly busy yet still tight.
The opening track, "Corianna," starts us off with a sonic boom of guitars and big back beats from Clint Sutton's pumped up drums telling us the story of a mysterious obsession with a girl from the past. Quickly followed by "Inspiration," another great lyric about a strange muse of a girl, and we have the perfect recipe to start our pop/rock cocktail.
The title track with its power chords and big hand claps is fun and "Scenes Like This" with its Kinks-like, doot-doot-doot backing vocals and the Keith Moon-like fills of Sutton (who is a real highlight throughout the album) show us that Poole is a great songsmith and a really versatile vocalist. He even shows off a fun falsetto voice over some great head-banging instrumentations and Brian May type guitar fills on "Losing Control."
There are the sweet, threaded harmonies of the ballad, "Shades of Sunday," and some country twang straight out of the Alex Chilton school of Memphis Pop on "Big Airplane" and Poole and guitarists William Sheeder trade off perfectly crafted leads over the entire cd. The showpiece for the entire band is the track, "Help Back", with its flowing riff and some virtuoso, spiraling bass work by Billy Matheny in addition to many grooving, stop/start breaks, rave-ups and tags. The album ends with a number, "Envelope" that is right out of The Zombies' "Odyssey and Oracle".
There are snippets of The Romantics, Tom Petty and Big Star as well as the aforementioned 60's British Invasion bands yet the band still has an original sound that is all its own with Poole's familiar West Virginia drawl that we all know and love in my neck of the woods. This may be their first cd but these guys have been playing music with each other for a long time in other variations of this band and it shows in every fun filled, danceable track.
West Virginia may be primarily known for its coal, but the Phantom Six would be the states musical diamond mine.

There is not enough going on in the Emerald Dream to do an entire expansion. Besides the Emrald Dream is a view of what Azeroth would be had the cataclysm that caused the Maelstrom never happened, in fact if none of the sentient races had ever arisen. The dream could be a raid. Especially if the Emerald Nightmare is somehow tied to the Naga or the Legion. But there just isn't enough going on inside to warrant an expansion.

The online journal to Offscreen — for all the things that don't fit into the magazine. We regularly publish behind-the-scenes posts about the making of an indie magazine. Why not grab the RSS feed and follow along?
Support Offscreen and help us continue to produce a beautiful print publication! Grab the latest issue, subscribe or buy back issues.
What you see here is the pathetic result of an attempt to send a box of Offscreen Magazines to a stockist in Los Angeles using DHL and USPS.
"Hang on, there are no Offscreen Magazines in that box!?", you will say. That's correct. We sent a box of magazines and our recipient received a box full of random books and a lots of loose sheets of paper.
"Maybe the box got mixed up and they received the wrong shipment!", you may suggest. Well, not really, because the box had our shipping label on it, showing our sender address and the recipient address as I entered it in our system.
"That box looks a bit damaged!", you then realise. Yep, it doesn't only look damaged, it's not even the box we sent. Our boxes look like the book mailers you are familiar with if you ever ordered anything from Amazon.
"So what happened there?", you then ask. That's a good question, I say. All we know is that the box of magazines we sent got lost. Instead, our recipient received a totally different box that is also totally "kaputt". The only theory we have so far is that USPS has accidentally destroyed several boxes and then somehow put together what was left of them and stuck our label on top. Done!
I only send a small amount of boxes to the US using DHL in Germany. Once they arrive in the US, the United States Postal Service (USPS) takes over. It's absolutely astounding to me that in a country as advanced as the US more parcels get damaged or go mysteriously missing than in any other country I send magazines to.
A box I sent in May took 4 weeks to get to Florida before it disappeared and all traces where lost. Of course, if you ask them what happened, you get standard apologies and are referred to their "recovery" department. After 8 weeks of "recovering" I then got a letter that they were unable to locate my package and got a refund of ~20% of the value of the package (even though it was ensured up to $1000!)
There are few services in the world that are as broken and as unaccountable as postal delivery services. USPS is one of the worst ones I've come across so far. If you can, I recommend you try to avoid the United States Postal Service like the plague.

Here's the first part of my book introduction. Let me know what you all think!
People are frustrated.
Most of us are ready to give it all when we start a job. We are usually full of ideas for ways to do things better. We eagerly offer our whole intellectual capacity only to be told that it's not our job, that it's been tried before, or that we shouldn't rock the boat. Our suggestions are ignored. We are told to follow instructions. Our work is reduced to following a set of prescriptions. Our creativity and innovations go unappreciated. Initiative is viewed with skepticism. Eventually, we stop trying and just toe the line. With resigned frustration, we get by. Too often that's where the story of our work life ends.
Even the most promising employees can go through this downward evolutionary spiral. Ian should have been a model employee for a multi-billion dollar communications company. Instead, his first corporate employment experience was so poor he swore never to return; he's now an entrepreneur. When I asked Ian what went wrong he told me "I could complete my day's work in 2 hours. I asked for more, and I was met with 'in time young man.' I had no decision making power." And this company has a reputation for thoughtful leadership and innovative products!
Ian quit and found a more satisfying way to spend his time. His parting comments to me were, "You know, sure, maybe over time things would have improved, but who wants to gamble their career, no, their life-energy, on the hope of sea change at an established, 'successful' company. I went on to pursue my dreams, and I've done so."
If you have felt the urge to follow Ian's example, you are not alone. Worker satisfaction in America is at an all time low.[1] Worker engagement and commitment to their employers is also at a low.[2] Unemployment has been 9% for 31 months as of November 2011. One would think that those that had jobs would be happy just to have them but that is not the case.
It is this deliberate disengagement that is costing billions in lost productivity. Disengaged employees erode an organization's bottom line while breaking the spirits of colleagues. Within the U.S. workforce, Gallup estimates this cost to be more than $300 billion in lost productivity alone.[3]As large as the costs are in lost productivity, my sense is that they are dwarfed by the costs of lost joy and happiness.
Bosses are frustrated as well.
If you are a boss, you have likely been frustrated about your work force's lack of passion and ownership. You probably have tried to encourage them to make decisions only to have many seem more comfortable with doing what they are told. Empowerment programs start well but don't sustain themselves. New workers come into the organization with low levels of self-empowerment straight from school.
This situation exists in even the best companies. Dr. Scott Mesh is CEO of Los Niños, a company dedicated to assisting the developmental needs of special care children. Los Niños is a Best Company to Work for in NY Award Winner in multiple recent years. I met some of his employees and it's a pretty elite team.
Still, Scott has frustrations. "I'm babysitting too much. Some folks take care of stuff – they own it, grow it, love it, and have great results. Others need reminders – maybe they don't do the killer follow up or they have other needs."
He is not alone. A recent survey indicated that 44% of business leaders reported disappointment in the performance results of their employees.[4]
This frustration from all sides in the workplace has one root cause: our current leadership model.

To the very limited extent that the German science fiction series Raumpatrouille Orion (full English title: Space Patrol – The Fantastic Adventures of the Starship Orion) is known in my own United States, it tends to be the victim of a certain unfair association. On those pitifully rare occasions when it's mentioned, it's seldom without being compared unfavorably to Star Trek – and sometimes even referred to as "The German Star Trek", usually in the dismissive tone reserved for inferior foreign copies of iconic American brands. That Raumpatrouille is an imitation of Star Trek is unlikely, given that the series made its debut on German television within just two weeks of Trek's initial bow in America (and quite a few years before Captain Kirk and company would make it to the German airwaves). And while the series does share some striking similarities with Trek, those ultimately just serve to highlight some even more striking differences.

Ninja Mission
At this point, I don't think there is much cause to recount the ninja craze that swept the world in the 1980s (you can piece together the story from our reviews of The Octagon and Enter the Ninja). From Hong Kong to Japan, Bollywood to the United States and of course Turkey, these black-clad shadow warriors fanned out and did that really rapid baby-step ninja run into our hearts. Although the ninja originated in Japan, and Hong Kong produced more ninja films, for my money the United States was still ground zero for eighties ninjamania (many Hong Kong ninja movies were made purely to export to the United States, as often as possible, with as many different titles for the same movie as distributors could dream up). But while the US was inarguably the capital of ninja fanaticism in the western hemisphere, we were not entirely alone. In the snowy northern land known as Sweden, a man named Mats-Helge Olsson was building a sizable filmography of hyper-violent, mostly terrible action films that shocked and disappointed his countrymen. That Mats Helge would make a ninja film was inevitable. That he made two is unfortunate.
Revenge of Frankenstein
When last we saw Baron Victor Frankenstein, he was being marched to the guillotine to face a beheading for the murders committed by his man-made man, not to mention the murders in which he himself dabbled. Well, you can't keep a good mad scientist down, and there are none better or madder than Cushing's Frankenstein. With the help of a prison attendant who wants access to the Baron's peculiar talents, Frankenstein escapes the execution and sets up a new identity and a new medical practice in another town. Hey, cheating death is what Frankenstein is all about, right? All seems to be going well for the doctor, who has a bustling private medical practice and a commendable public hospital for the poor. Sure he draws the ire of the local medical society when he refuses to join their ranks, but all in all, this new Dr. Stein (put a lot of thought into that one, didn't ya, Victor? Better than Alucard, I reckon) seems to have turned over a new leaf and started working for the good of mankind. But wait…wasn't that what he thought he was doing the last time around?
Rambu: The Intruder
I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the titular gentlemen of The Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema. Without them, it's entirely likely that I would have lived my life without any knowledge of Peter O'Brian. And while that life would have been passable, filled at is with adventure and willing mod girls in mini-dresses and films in which Bruce Lee look-alikes fight Popeye in Hell, it would not have been complete. Lying on my deathbed, the final breath escaping from my gnarled maw, I would suddenly become aware of an emptiness in my soul — an emptiness shaped like a muscular guy with a huge permed mullet. Luckily, that hole has been filled, and I can shuffle off this mortal coil more occupied with my previous deathbed plan — making sure my final words are "avenge me!"
Roller Blade
You know what I love? I love that "post apocalyptic rollerskating movie" isn't a description of a movie, but instead of an entire genre. Granted it's a genre created almost entirely by a single man, but when the man is dedicated and prolific enough, suddenly you have a whole section in the old time video store with sun-bleached VHS boxes on the shelves dedicated to movies where women on rollerskates gingerly navigate the rubble-strewn parking lots of post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, which is invariably going to be referred to as Lost Angeles, as it has been in so many of the crappy direct to video post-apoc films from the 1980s. It's the DTV post-apocalypse equivalent of the DTV L.A. gang war movies, which inevitably go, "Los Angeles…City of the Angels."
Return of the Vampire
In 1958, Dracula would return in name but not with the familiar face of cinema's best-known and most beloved Dracula, Bela Lugosi. Bela would return to the screen several times as a vampire, but never again as Dracula. So Dracula returned in Return of Dracula without Bela, and Bela returned in Return of the Vampire, without Dracula. Granted, Return of the Vampire pushes Bela's character, Armand Tesla, as close to Dracula territory as it possibly can without getting slapped with a lawsuit, but that's all part of the fun of vamping in the aftermath of Universal's 1931 landmark Dracula, to say nothing of the need to occasionally satisfy/pay the estate of Bram Stoker. And Dracula or not, Return of the Vampire feels like the legitimate sequel to Dracula, even if intellectual property says it isn't. Disentangled from all that, however, we are still left with an exceptionally enjoyable horror film with a unique setting and interesting lead character.
England, 1918. The countryside is terrorized by a vampire, his well-spoken werewolf assistant, and a preponderance of creepy mist-enshrouded graveyards. Two scientists — Dr. Walter Saunders and Lady Jane Ainsley (Frieda Inescort) — are struggling to figure out why so many local women are turning up bloodless and/or mad. Despite their commitment to science and the rational mind, it soon becomes undeniable that a vampire is stalking the misty moors. The two of them track the bloodsucker to the local creepy, abandoned cemetery and stake the fiend, ending his reign of terror and freeing the werewolf Andreas (who had apparently popped down to the dry goods store for a bit) from the vampires eldritch thrall.
Years later, and London finds itself under siege from the German Luftwaffe. A bomb unearths the vampire Dr Tesla's grave. Two well-meaning grave diggers, thinking that the corpse they discover is a fine English gentleman impaled by a bit of rubbish from the Nazi bomb, remove the stake from the body's heart and re-bury the corpse. Dr. Saunders has also passed away, and upon his passing had published his papers detailing his thoughts on vampirism and the quest to kill the devilish vampire, Dr. Armand Tesla. Unfortunately, this admittance of murder lands Lady Ainsley in some hot water. Police officer Sir Frederick Fleet commands her to attend the exhuming of Tesla's body to determine just what sort of monkey business she and Saunders involved themselves in some two decades prior. But when they arrive, they find not only Tesla's original grave empty, but also the new grave into which he was placed. While this seemingly absolves Lady Ainsley of murder, she is considerably more troubled by the realization that Tesla the vampire is apparently returned from the grave…again.
Around the same time, scientist Dr. Hugo Bruckner (Bela Lugosi) arrives in town and takes an interest in the work being done by Lady Ainsley and her assistant, the now reformed werewolf Andreas. We, of course, know that Dr. Bruckner is really the vampiric Dr. Tesla, and frankly, his penchant for the gratuitous donning of opera capes should have clued everyone else in as well. Before too long, the crafty vampire has re-enslaved Andreas and set his sights on destroying everyone close to Lady Jane before destroying her as well. Lady Jane, however, is not one to sit around doing nothing. She soon deduces the true identity of Bruckner and is determined to stop him, despite gruff dismissal of her opinions by skeptical Sir Frederick.
Released in 1944, Return of the Vampire finds itself comfortably placed in the tail-end of the Universal horror cycle. Most of the good sequels had run their course, and Universal was starting to crank out increasingly cheap sequels to The Mummy and increasingly silly (but still entertaining, in my book) monster team-ups like House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula. Return of the Vampire not only could have passed for an official part of the Universal horror cycle; it could have passed as one of the better examples of such a film. Unlike other horror films of the time, it takes the classic mood and overall look but many things in a different and more innovative way than its higher profile contemporaries. Chief among these would be divorcing itself from the usual assembly of heroes — a wise older man, a strapping younger man, and a young and useless damsel in distress — and instead making the central hero a middle-aged woman. Frieda Inescort's Lady Jane Ainsley is a welcome digression from the expected. She's smarter, more rational, more caring, and more open-minded than any of the others around her. And to go superficial, at age 43 or so (which is not actually old, mind you) when she appeared in this film, Frieda Inescort still makes for a very elegant beauty.
In appearance, behavior, and slicking back of the hair, it's pretty obvious that Bela's Dr. Tesla is meant to resemble his Dracula as closely as it could without getting everyone sued by Universal Studios. Bela is solid here, though his performance lacks some of the charisma and menace he had been able to conjure in his earlier roles. Dr. Tesla is considerably less suave and much crankier than Dracula. Bela's still an able performer though, and it's great to see him back in the cape, biting people on the neck and drifting into the open windows of susceptible young women. His dialogue isn't great, but Bela still delivers it to the best of his macabre ability, and despite some so-so writing the movie still affords Bela a level of respect and dignity that would be absent from his subsequent movies. Even if he was not allowed by law to be referred to as Dracula, this movie still makes for the most legitimate feeling sequel to the 1931 film that was produced, certainly more so tan the token Dracula appearances in the Universal House of… movies where the infamous bloodsucker was tangential to the plot and played by different actors.
Most of the rest of the cast, including the pair of young lovebirds on whom Tesla has set his eyes and fangs, is largely disposable. The only other character of note besides Lady Ainsley and Dr. Tesla is Andreas, the tortured werewolf who finds himself at the beck and call of the vampire despite his revulsion at everything he is commanded to do. In the original Wolfman, Lon Chaney Jr. aced the pathos of a good man cursed to become a murderous beast. Matt Willis' Andreas is similarly sympathetic, though the nature of his lycanthropy doesn't seem to conform to any known werewolf lore and is instead a state that can be turned on and off by his vampire master. Some of the scenes of Andreas in werewolf form, looking sort of like Michael Landon's teenage werewolf from I Was a Teenage Werewolf, are a little on the silly side. Bela seems to love to shift Andreas into wolfman mode than send him out to do menial tasks and run errands around town that would probably have been better and more successfully accomplished by someone who didn't look like a werewolf. But Matt Willis' performance is enough to win you over and make you brush off the occasional absurd shot of the werewolf, in his suit, casually carrying packages of dry cleaning or whatever through the streets of London.
One of the other interesting things Return of the Vampire does is adapt the look of the old Universal horror films for a new decade. The original films were influenced by the German expressionist horror films of the silent era and the look of Europe after the first World War, which is why you get so many scenes of monsters staggering across misty wastelands littered with dead trees and crooked cemetery crosses. It was meant to invoke the look and desolation of the Western Front's No Man's Land. Set in and made during World War II, Return of the Vampire is able to recall that sort of set design then augment it with very real, very current scenes of the devastation of London during the Blitz. Bombed out churches, ruined city blocks, and air raid sirens combine with the iconic creepy tombs and foggy graveyards. From time to time, the film comes up with some stunning compositions worthy of being compared to the best the Universal horror films or even the old, visually mesmerizing silent films had to offer. Specifically, a scene near the end of the film that sees the vampire, the werewolf, and a seduced young woman moving as shadows and shrouds in a misty cemetery is fantastic.
I went into Return of the Vampire with expectations that, while not high, were still expectations. The idea of Dracula — even if he has a different name — skulking around Blitz-era London seemed a concept rife with potential. And I was thoroughly pleased with the results. Lady Jane makes a great and unique hero in the pantheon of horror film good guys (and women), and even if Bela isn't at the top of his game, he's still playing a pretty good game. The film is light on genuine scares, but it musters some OK chills and an exciting level of tension. Add to that some striking visuals and a quick pace, and you have quite the enjoyable film. It's only real misstep comes at the very end, with an ill-advised breaking of the fourth wall. That is pretty easy to ignore though, and the rest of the film delivers. It may not be a sequel to 1931's Dracula, but it's still a pretty good sequel to 1931's Dracula.

Return of Dracula
In the wake of the success of Universal's 1931 shocker Dracula, there were many attempts to continue and/or cash in on its success, but for one reason or another, Universal itself was never able to capitalize on Dracula the same way it did when it turned both Frankenstein and The Mummy (and later, The Creature from the Black Lagoon) into franchises. Even in the later monster team-up House of… films, Dracula was at best a supporting player, even when his name was in the title, and the vampire prince of darkness didn't really interact with the other monsters (or the main storyline). The fact that Dracula was so closely identified at the time with Bela Lugosi, and that Lugosi himself never returned to the role (at least in an official capacity), probably hindered Dracula from becoming the same sort of series as did the other Universal monsters. But where Universal failed, others were ready to step in and try to hitch their wagon to the Dracula gravy train…err, or some metaphor like that. Dracula liked gravy, right?
Released in 1958, Return of Dracula comes many years after the Dracula craze in particular and the Universal monsters in general had been relegated to the past in favor of atomic terrors and science fiction. Long enough, I suppose, that someone was thinking it was time for a revival, or that they were feeling nostalgic about the old films. But a lot had happened both technically and stylistically to films in those intervening years, resulting in Return of Dracula having one foot in old style horror and the other foot in something more like the police procedurals and quasi-noirs of the forties and early fifties. It's a cheap movie, low-key, and boasting no big stars or established horror film icons, which is probably part of the reason the movie was more or less forgotten. It's not bad at all, though, and it achieves a fair amount of tension rather than scares thanks in large part to a likable heroine in Norma Eberhardt's Rachel Mayberry and a menacing "monster" in Francis Lederer's Bellac Gordal, better known perhaps by his older name: Count Dracula.
Dracula, forever harried by vampire hunters in his native country, kills an artist on a train and assumes his identity, immigrating to the united States and settling in with the dead artist's relatives (who have never met nor seen a photo of their foreign-born relation). Living now under the name Bellac Gordal, Dracula does his best to adapt to suburban American life, attributing his curious demeanor and odd hours to being an artist and a European. All the while, however, he is laying the foundation for turning the quiet, dull town into the focal point of a new vampire empire. When the vampire hunters track him to the town, they have a hard time convincing rational, salt-of-the-earth Americans that these tales of vampires are more than nutty Old World superstition.
Although there is probably plenty of comedy to be mined from a high concept like "Dracula moves to the California suburbs," this is not the movie in which to go looking for such comedy. Return of Dracula plays it straight, with a Dracula who adapts to his new surroundings with the proficiency of a creature that has had to adapt to new eras and new surroundings many times before. Part of what makes the horror work in this movie is the choice to avoid the yuks and explore, instead, the idea of Old World horrors seeping into the clean, ordered, and thoroughly modern world of the mid-American suburb. As a kid seeing this movie (which I was not), it must have been exciting to think that no matter how manicured the lawns and sterile the environment, there could still be a vampire lurking around the corner. The infection of such familiar and boring a setting with the affectations of ancient evil — ghostly figures, billowing fog, menacing shadows — makes for an effectively chilling juxtaposition of old and new.
I suppose given the era in which this movie was made, one could force a Cold War paranoia subtext into the mix: mysterious Eastern Europeans coming to threaten whitebread, wholesome America. That Lederer comes across less as a monster being pursued by monster hunters and more as a spy on the run also makes it easy to see a Red Menace theme beneath the vampire tale. At the very least, the difference in cultures is exploited as Dracula's every quirk is attributed to his foreignness by his American "family," who are welcoming and warm but also ignorant. The arrival of Cousin Bellac gives them — especially young daughter Rachel, just starting to become a woman — a taste of the exotic and non-conformist in sharp contrast to the familiar order around them. Bellac senses this and is able again to cover his tracks and his unfamiliarity not just with being an American, but with being a human, with the anti-authoritarian air of the artist, which only makes him more appealing to the dissatisfied Rachel. His attempts to set up a new vampire "hive" is tantamount to small-town American being infiltrated by an agent seeking to establish Communist cells. It's also no accident, I would imagine, that Dracula assumes the identity of an artist, with circles of such creative and oddball persons being regarded as hotbeds of Socialism and Communist sympathy.
Dracula movies usually live or die on the merits of their Dracula. Francis Lederer takes a very weird, very different, and for me very successful approach to the legendary count. There is in his portrayal a hint of the "ancient monster awkwardly trying to mimic a human" that underlies Bela's Dracula, but he is not doing an imitation of Lugosi. Far more than that, Lederer has the paranoid fidgeting and darting eyes of an early Eurocrime villain, like someone who might have wandered out of a Dr. Mabuse film or one of the early Hitchcock espionage thrillers. By all accounts, Lederer was not overly excited to be involved with the film (although not a star, he was a seasoned actor by this time), but whatever disdain he might have had for the low-budget production either didn't affect his performance or did so in a way that actually benefits the film. He's weird, disaffected at some times and overly passionate at others, consistently off-kilter and always creepy and threatening without resorting to the obvious.
On the other side of the coin is Rachel. Pure of heart, fresh-faced, giving and kind, yet also starting to question her surroundings. She is not as happy with her dorky all-American boyfriend as she could be. She aspires to be both an artist (fashion designer) and humanitarian (nurse). She is given all the personality tools she needs to be an easy seduction for the vampire/Communist spy as well as the one who can resist him. There is real tension regarding which way she will go. Norma Eberhardt turns in a good if somewhat stilted at times performance, and the fact that Rachel is a genuinely nice and warm character makes the danger looming over her in the living room much more effective. Modern horror has for quite some time depended too much on the assumed desire of the audience to see despicable people punished, which can have its moments I grant you. But I miss when horror would also create real tension by taking someone you like and putting them in a dangerous situation. For me, anyway, that's a much more sustainable sort of tension (and a lot less irritating to watch than 90 minutes of horrible people sniping and bickering before someone just shoves a pipe through their face).
At the beginning of this article, I posited that a film like this got made because someone thought we were due for a resurgence in supernatural horror after years dominated by atomic age terrors. And they were right, even if it wasn't Return of Dracula that sparked that revival. Director Paul Landres and screenwriter Pat Fielder were on a vampire kick. Before teaming up for Return of Dracula, they had also worked with each other on the previous year's The Vampire. It's not surprising that their vampire films would be very different takes from previous versions of the vampire movie. Landres' experience was almost entirely in westerns and crime television, and Fielder was new at the game, with only one credit (he co-scripted The Monster that Challenged the World) to his name before he and Landres concocted their vampire tales. Their takes on vampires and vampirism were exceptionally interesting, but audiences weren't as interested as Landres hoped. They wanted vampires again, just not his vampires. The same year Return of Dracula was released, England's Hammer Studio released Horror of Dracula, starring Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and Christopher Lee as an animalistic, force-of-nature interpretation of Dracula. That film, with its more familiar take on the legend, brilliant color filming, exquisite period sets and costumes, shocking bloodshed and sexuality, overshadowed the comparatively low-key Return of Dracula. The classical horror revival happened then, but it happened Hammer's way and in Hammer's image.
While I love Hammer horror, it's too bad Return of Dracula got buried and forgotten. It's a deceptively fascinating and complex vampire-turned-thriller movie. Being of liberal and artistic leanings myself, I don't necessarily agree with the message about swarthy Eastern European types infecting wholesome America with their socialist ideas, artistic history, and interesting suits; but I also don't think this is a cut and dry "foreigners are dangerous" morality tale. After all, it's the ignorance of the Americans that Dracula is able to exploit to cover his crimes. He plays on stereotypes and expectations. Similarly, it's more Eastern Europeans who show up and convince the American authorities that something supernatural is in their midst. And the most annoying character is the most gee-whiz all-American boy: Rachel's well-meaning but lunkheaded boyfriend. Whatever the case, Return of Dracula has a lot to offer. It is, as I said, more satisfying as a thriller than straight horror film, though its moments of horror are eerie and effective. The whole thing is infused with enough menace, paranoia, and lurking menace to keep it tense even when Dracula is just hanging out in his bedroom. Return of Dracula is well worth rediscovering, or if you are like me, discovering for the first time.

I've got a weird fascination with superhero movies from places other than the USA. Since X-Men (2000) and particularly Spider-Man (2002) demonstrated the possibilities of adapting comic books with a previously unthinkable level of faithfulness to the source material, superheroes have become a staple of Hollywood's output. And with cash tills ringing in spades for all manner of four-colour-inspired heroics (as I write, The Avengers is already the third-highest grossing film of all time and still in theatres), it's no surprise that overseas producers began to wonder at the possibilities. Some looked to their local comic properties for inspiration, such as with Hong Kong's 'a bit like Batman but played by Michelle Yeoh' effort Silver Hawk. Elsewhere, filmmakers just borrowed wholesale from American films, as with Russia's 'Spider-Man with a flying car' Black Lightning, or Thailand's 'Spider-Man… actually just Spider-Man' cash-in Mercury Man. And of course Bollywood, boasting the biggest film industry in the world, was hardly going to miss out.
Red Riding Hood
It was assumed when the Twilight novels and movies took over the universe, that we would be inundated with similar works of weepy, melodramatic teen supernatural romance. While that may have been the case in literature — assisted no doubt by the fact that self-publishing for e-book readers means anyone with enough determination to finish a book could get it published and sold on Amazon — the same thing didn't really happen in film. There was a similar unfulfilled expectation when Harry Potter was the king of the hill, and we all assumed there'd be a billion little boy wizard movies. Despite it's astounding popularity, only a few cinematic cash-ins ever saw the light of day, and they weren't all that successful (I don't think many people are demanding the next installment of the Percy Jackson series). I guess now you can throw Hunger Games into the mix as well. Young adult supernatural fantasy may rule the pop literary world these days, but it didn't really succeed in setting aflame the big screen, or even the small screen. You'd think that, if nothing else, the direct-to-DVD or direct-to-Netflix-streaming world would be stuffed to the gills with dodgy young adult vampire romances and such, but that's not the case. And yes, I've looked. All I found was a bunch of cheap, shot on digital video Fast and Furious rip-offs, which naturally, I immediately added to me queue.
When I was a kid, my uncle on my mom's side was a weight lifter. Bear in mind that my uncle was not that much older than me, and so he fulfilled the dual role of uncle and older brother, with all the Indian burns and red bellies such a relationship demands. Having a weight lifter for an uncle meant several things. First, it meant that I was destined to get a pair of Zubaz for Christmas– the classic ones, with the turquoise, black, and white tiger stripes. Second, it meant that I was going to be leafing through bodybuilder and power lifting magazines. My grandparents house was stuffed to the gills with copies of Field and Stream, but as I was neither an avid hunter nor fisher, Field and Stream was even less interesting to me than the marathon sessions spent int he basement listening to records full of nothing but turkey calls. And so when I needed to pass the time doing something other than playing Nintendo, I would leaf through the weight lifter magazines which, for some reason, contained endless amusements for me — the best of which was an ad for some contraption or other probably mean to improve your curl form that boasted the legendary slogan, "It'll kick your butt so you can go out and kick somebody else's!"

What is your definition of 'freedom'?
Every now and then we all question our own sense of freedom and what it is to be 'free'. How it is to live in the 'land of the free'. As much as it can sometimes be a little deep to talk about with peers, I thought this would be the best place to propose a discussion on your personal opinion of what it is to be 'free'.
See, a lot of people I've asked define 'freedom' as the opportunity to do what ever you want... I then follow this with asking, 'If everyone did as they wished, you'd then be bound by a constant fear of the actions of others, would you not? Then how 'free' would you feel?'
I simply want to start this conversation not because I believe 'freedom' is a definable concept, but because everyones' opinions of the idea is different and it's interesting to hear those opinions.

Apr 27 2013: I believe that South Africa as a nation is a great picture of freedom. Today we celebrate Freedom Day, the first democratic elections in South Africa. As I travel through South Africa, even though I still see poverty and illness, I also see freedom at work. I see people following their dreams, no matter what their race, gender, religious belief or culture. Freedom does not mean freedom from struggle but it instead means the freedom to take steps forward, freedom to hope for a brighter future. South African society is by no means perfect, but it is a society filled with amazing people who have such potential to change the world.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Hope you had a great weekend.
Whew...it's been busy around here.
A GREAT busy though...
First oral report for Zoe in 1st Grade.
I think I was more nervous for her than she was...believe it or not I was terrified to be in front of people growing up
(still am, kind of) ;-)
She did great...I was so proud of her!
Zoe's birthday was Friday so cupcakes for ALL!
It's fun when you have the right tools...Love Pampered Chef's Easy Accent Decorator.
She picked "American Girl Doll" theme this year so I did some digging and had fun coming up with decorations.
Pinwheels using the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stacks and many punches!
I found the dolls on the American Girl Doll site and just copied and pasted to My Digital Studio, printed and punched out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Of course, layering is important so here comes the Circles #2 Original Die for the Pacific Point layer and the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch using the Real Red.
Zoe's cake decor was easy to create with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and the Typeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits Dies.
I actually had fun baking...hmmm...not as much fun as stamping though! :-)
The Clearance RACK hooked me up with the below banner!
Get this, there are over 100 letters and numbers to choose from and you attach them by brads which means you can take it apart and reuse it for other spellings.
It will be perfect for the 4th of July as I'll use all the red letters.
After taking all the letters apart (they are perferated) the designer paper is too awesome to throw away...perfect for punching out the pennants for the cake. :-)
Scraps are good!
Dolls were the honored guests...
...lemonade with dinner...
Party hats for everyone!
On the Clearance Rack they are only $1.99 for 8 of them!
I added the red strings coming out the top. :-)
I know it was worth it when I heard Zoe say,
"I'll remember this day forever, Mama."
You can still get in on the savings!
On the Clearance Rack on my Online Store you'll find the following:
Celebrations Party Hats
$1.99/8 - 118716
Celebrations Party Banner - $5.19
Birthday Party Rubons - $3.19
I didn't get these but wish I had as I was putting together some of the decor.
Can't beat the above prices!
So visit my online store HERE to purchase your party supplies!
Remember, they are only as supplies last!
Enjoy your afternoon!

This cosy cottage is nestled in native bush just 5 minutes walk from beautiful Lake Rotoiti, a favorite spot for sailing, fishing, swimming and other watersports.

There is an abundance of short walks and tramps, some of which offer spectacular views. Close by is one of New Zealand's 'Land Islands', being an area where intensive predator control has resulted in an abundance of birdlife.
For the more energised, the park offers a wide range of tramping experience, ranging from short day trips to expeditions of several days with ample alpine experience for those who want it.
There are mountain bike trails, a gliding club, a golf course, and hunting opportunities, all nearby.
Lake Rotoiti is close to Rainbow skifield, the Marlborough wine region, and Nelson. It is under 2 hours drive to the Picton ferry, and under three to Westport airport.
While we allow pets, please note that these are forbidden from the adjacent National Park. The cottage is 'winterised' from April to October, requiring tenants to follow a clearly documented list of instructions on arriving and leaving, for draining the water system.

Parking issue not one that's going away
Parking has long been a concern in any downtown area, but particularly of late in downtown Oxford around the historic Square. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at parking in the past and options that are being discussed for the future. (July 18, 2012, Page 4)
William Faulkner – an appreciation
News Editor Jonathan Scott takes a look at the past and present of William Faulkner and wonders if he wouldn't be accepted a bit better these days than he was when he was writing books at Rowan Oak. (July 6, 2012, Page 4A)
Progress can mean stops, starts and detours
Three of the most disturbing words folks are seeing around Oxford these days are "Road Construction Ahead." Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the progress being made on various projects around town and their effect on those trying to go near the Square or across town. (June 20, 2012, Page 4)
Three big weekends – and lots of visitors
Three of the biggest weekends of the year in Oxford – outside of home game football weekends and baseball regionals – are coming up in the next month. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at some of what's going on with Grove Bowl Week, the Double Decker Arts Festival and graduation at Ole Miss. (April 18, 2012, Page 4)
I filled up my truck today – at $3.68 per gallon
The high prices of things like gasoline and cigarettes have guest columnist J.W. "Jay" Mitchell remembering his younger days in Oxford when prices were low – and much lower when two local gas station owners started a gas war. (March 22, 2012, Page 4)
Spring break week always a special one
Notice more parking spaces around the Square? How about shorter lines in stores and restaurants? With the weather nice, that generally means one thing around Oxford – spring break. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at what many locals consider one of the best weeks of the year. (March 14, 2012, Page 4)
Mr. Pat – one of our community's icons
How did you first come to know Robert L. "Mr. Pat" Patterson? In his work with FCA? With the Kiwanis Club? As the bailiff at the courthouse? As a softball umpire? At church? At an Ole Miss ballgame? Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the relationships we've had with the man who's been a local icon for longer than most of us have been around. (February 1, 2012, Page 4)
I found William Faulkner at 30,000 feet
Sometimes, guest columnist J.W. "Jay" Mitchell, writes, it takes a little longer for you to appreciate those you see every day. That was the case for William Faulkner, who Mitchell saw while growing up in Oxford. Mitchell writes how years later he discovered the genius of the man he had little good to say about decades earlier. (January 23, 2012, Page 4A)
In the midst of a remarkable revival
News Editor Jonathan Scott takes a look back at some highlights of the past 14 months, noting the decisions made in the Lafayette-Oxford-University community in late 2010 and 2011 will reverberate for years. Scott ties it all together to show what outsiders are learning about the community – it's a pretty good place to live and work. (December 22, 2011, Page 4)
Game day at Ole Miss
Guest columnist Loran Smith of Georgia gives an outsider's perspective of the game day experience at Ole Miss as he talks about trips to Oxford for games and about the friendships he's made over the years with members of the community. (September 23, 2011, Page 4A)

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221424Developing safety and work ethics incentive programs is a great idea. The first step is to establish the specific goals you wish to achieve so you can determine what behaviors should be rewarded. This is extremely important, as it will be the basis for all of the other aspects that follow.
Next, you need to formulate how to measure the desired behaviors. Only quantifiable activities can be included in a production employee incentive program.
I recommend that you not develop this program by yourself. Instead, put together a small committee composed of a representative or two each from the supervisor, manager, and line worker ranks. Share the goals you have set and let them propose ideas on how to achieve those
goals, how objectives can be set and measured, and the nomination criteria and process. You can work with them to ensure that they stay on track and so that you hear their reasoning and understand how to maximize the success of the programs.
This group is probably the best source of information on what kinds of recognition will be most welcome and appreciated. You can set the parameters by sharing the budget for these programs and including the frequency that you want to promulgate rewards. We are flooded with catalogs and programs touted to make employees feel valued--pins, plaques, trophies, gift catalog items, etc. And there are literally hundreds of low-cost and even free ways to reward employees for desired behaviors, too: movie tickets, cafeteria vouchers, restaurant gift
cards, choice parking spaces, etc.
But to make your programs meaningful and successful, you want to know what would make the people in your work force feel most valued. The best people to tell you that are the people who can earn these rewards.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A review of a Virginia Beach foster child's death recommends better training and assessment of foster parents by the city's social services agency.
The city asked the Child Welfare League of America in March to conduct the independent review. The Virginian-Pilot ( http://bit.ly/O3b3mm) reports that the findings were released Friday morning.
According to the review, there wasn't a single action or decision that city social workers could have taken that would have saved 10-month-old Braxton Taylor's life. But it says the Virginia Beach Human Services Department should address foster parent training, workers' heavy caseloads and other issues.
The boy died in 2010 after his foster mother, Kathleen Ganiere, shook him. She is serving a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter.

How to Halve Chicken Breasts
Use this knife skill to easily halve a chicken breast.
Video Transcript
Family packs of bone-in chicken breasts often contain 4 or 5 very large breasts, each weighing 12 to 14 ounces each. Sometimes these breasts may need to be cut in half to be used in a recipe.
Place the chicken breast, skin side down, on a cutting board. Using a chef's knife, cut the chicken breast in half, crosswise. Start at the white cartilage section at the end of the bone and cut right through the bone. This will help the chicken to cook more evenly and decrease the portion size.

What did I do wrong? I took my 1100 down to clean it, and apparently the trigger never reset or something like that. It seems that the trigger is in the uncocked position, and pulling the bolt back, does not cock the gun.
Can any one tell me what I did wrong, how I can reset the trigger?

Anon asked: Out of curiousity, are there any women's armors in games/movies/whatnot you do like? Not trying to be an ass, just curious.
Oh don't worry! I don't think you're an ass, I really don't mind you asked. (:
But of course! Let me show you a few!
This one from Age of Wushu (Wulin?) is really sweet and feminine, and I just love it.
Aveline Vallen's outfit from Dragon Age 2 is just breathtaking. She looks so damn badass!
I really like the elf from Dragon's Crown. It's really cute. I'd love to wear this myself!
The armor Elizabeth (Elizabeth the Golden Age) wears is one of my all-time favorites. It's so elegant and classic.
This Heavy Armor set from Vindictus is GLORIOUS.
Titania's outfit (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) is magnificent. I also think she's really sexy. (:
Basically ALL these outfits (minus the high heels and awkward micro-mini skirt.) They're REALLY fun and creative. This is the concept art of Melia in Xenoblade Chronicles, something I haven't played so I can't tell if she actually wears any of these in the game… but after I saw the concept art of this I fell in love. (Click here for higher resolution)
This set from WoW (I think it's from WoW. correct me if I'm wrong.) is really neat-looking! (Higher resolution)
These sets for Arisen are just downright badass. Just look at them! (if I remember right that one to the far left is a NPC and the male have the EXACT same outfit! And the one to the far right is her underwear.) (Higher resolution)
So this some of the few I really like! I have a folder full of outfits/armors I really like. I also like these! Hope you like them. (:
