A. Record Drawings of Existing Conditions:
See appendix for HABS drawings.
B. Photographs of Existing Conditions:
See Plates 10-25.
C. Detailed Description of Fabric, Materials, Construction and Existing Conditions Including Any Investigations Made Within the Walls:
The Norris Soldier Station has proven to be a maintenance problem because there is no winter and spring occupancy. Snow collects on the northern roof slopes, slips and causes breaking stresses on the roof overhangs. The snow collects in the northern courts and for months provides the water that seeps under the main structure to cause dampness and rot. Local maintenance could move the snows periodically. Other relief measures drainage and structural additions will be discussed later.
The present rolled roofing is quite inadequate and needs immediate repair and/or replacement to keep the building dry. Posts have been placed in various rooms to supposedly hold up the roof. They are of no particular value to the existing truss system. The engineering values of the truss system will be analysed in the final construction drawing. As of now, the roof system appears adequate.
There have been comments on insufficient foundations. The front main building shows only minor foundation cracks. The north wing lacks a concrete foundation and the bottom logs have rotted. The front porch of concrete has broken up badly. Whether the frosts or earthquakes have caused the trouble is academic.
The log work in general is in fair condition. That is, top checking can be filled with mastic and some rotted areas repaired without complete removal of the logs. The present chinking is 80% satisfactory. Trim, windows and doors need competent carpentry repair and masonry. Broken lights must be replaced.
The extended log ends are a decorative feature of this particular building and should be conserved and restored to maintain the building character. About 9 ends need rebuilding and several others need repair. There are several methods of splicing new ends in place which will be discussed later.
The bottom logs in the northeast and southeast wings are rotten because they have been on the ground or covered with earth. Replacement in kinds will not be too difficult because of the "poor" notching system used in the original construction. The notch is on the top of the logs.
The fireplace in the main room has been damaged by the earthquake of 1959. The original kitchen chimney was on the north wall. The cellar built in 1915 is partially caved in and would be of little use for even a complete restoration of the building.
The walls and ceiling in the various rooms are in fair condition. Holes were drilled in the floors of all the rooms to determine the location of the ground. The South wing and kitchen areas had crawl space. The middle room, main room and northeast wings varied from 10 to 18 inches below the finish floor which means that the 8 inch joists were quite close to the earth. The joists in the north room of the NE wing showed some moisture content of 25% and the underfloor relative humidity was 68-70% when the outside registered 35%.
The roof system needs a technical analysis of the truss system and the trusses developed on the ends of the rafter overhangs when icy loads slip off the roofs. To maintain the historic spacing of the rafter ends, without winter maintenance on the north roofs slopes, the rafter ends will have to be replaced and metal strengthening added.
Some roof sheathing boards will have to he replaced. The whole roof will be given a roof of wood shingles to match the buildings original appearance.
Both bracketed stove chimneys in the main east and west wings appear to have been repaired since the August 1959 earthquake. The main fireplace and chimney needs considerable repair. The kitchen chimney should be rebuilt in the original location as shown by the floor plan (Fig. 2).
The interior walls and ceilings need some repair and repainting. Although a water and waste system and electricity were not in the original building provisions for these utilities should be considered for fire protection and cleaning.
D. Architectural Description of Proposed Construction Activity:
The fine report of Aubrey Haynes of 1961 suggested that restoration of structures not included in this report. Some maintenance has been done since 1961 and more will have to be done before the total corrective work funds are made available. Photographs of plates 10-24 and the drawings plate 25 to 30 inclusive show the general condition of the structure as of May 1969.
Conservative maintenance was discussed with the Park in May 1969. This work included patching of the roofs, keeping the water out and away from the building and ventilation of the building so that all moisture intrusion is eventually evaporated. A study of plates 10, 11 and 12 and the preceeding section illustrates these problems. The supporting of the broken rafter ends with props is a temporary measure to keep water out of the building.
Drainage of the ground around the building should be taken care of immediately so that presistant snow melting and rains will drain under the building. This means that the ground level must be lowered 4 inches and more below the log work on the north side of the main east west wings and the ground sloped to cause natural drainage at least four feet from the building and to the wing corners.
The north wing logs should all be protected from the soil by a properly designed concrete footing, made deep enough to overcome frost action and provide a ventilated air space under the floor. This work would include the replacement of rotted logs, joists and flooring and provision for vent openings and access. It is recommened that the Root Cellar Access be retained without rebuilding the Root Cellar. The replacement of rotted joists and floors in the main wings, particularly the east wing is mandatory, venting and access must also be provided for.
The broken and rotted wall log ends can be repaired by fitting new ends held by pipe dowels or metal strapping. All the log work should then be examined immediately for rot and repaired. All the logs to be treated with pentachloraphenol. Chinking should match the existing chinking in texture and color. Cracks on the upper exposed quarter of the logs subject to water penetration should be filled with a flexible mastic of a color to match the logs.
The exterior windows, doors and trim all require carpentry attention, treatment with penta and final painting to the original colors.
The cracked concrete front porch must be cut back a minimum of 4 inches on the top and exposed sides and covered with a properly reinforced concrete slab on top and sides pitched to drain outward from the door thresholds and below the lowest log work. The concrete steps to the ground will have to be reset or rebuilt to the early photographs.
The winter window and door covers must be kept in adequate repair and properly painted. They should alo be easily installed and removed and stored when not in use.

Just to preface- I am not a crazy health nut, BUT I do find value in taking care of myself while traveling. I guess it would be safe to say I'm a bit of a high maintenance traveler. Before and during the flight I drink lots of peppermint tea in order to reduce bloating. I also like to have my favorite healthy snacks on-hand: Trader Joe's Packed Almonds, David Kirsch Bars, and Ricola Lemon Mint Cough drops.
When I am home I work out regularly, so when I am away I like to maintain somewhat of a routine. I use the app Sportaneous to find cool, local exercise classes in the area that I am visiting, in order to do what the locals do. I like to try new things, and this is a great way to do it and get a great workout in. Working out is obviously a great way to maintain the figure that you work so hard on while at home, but exercising is also super beneficial when traveling. I notice that if I wake up and work out while away, my body is less likely to feel the before and after affects of my trip. You don't have to follow my lead, find what works best for you and your body.
XO Kate
The secret is out-I'm not naturally a bronze goddess. Since my complexion is naturally fair, I like to tweak it with a nice, golden tan every once in a while! Self-tanners can be a dream, but streaks, application mishaps, and buildup on joints and feet can be a nightmare. One of our newest products, Bronze Buffer is every self-tanned girl's saving grace. These little miracle workers gently wipe away any unwanted color instantly. I have searched for a long time to find something this impressive and effective, and I am so glad that the search is over and that we now carry them on 3FLOZ.com! Do you share my faux tan faux pas? -XO Kate

Good morning! Today I wanted to share with you the most adorable little blog header illustration I finished for one of my favorite clients, Jenn! I did Jenn's blog header a few years back when she was pregnant with her first little bundle of joy, so as you can imagine it was so much fun to work on a VERY updated version with her two little nuggets! When Jenn contacted me about the illustration she said she just wanted something that reflected her busy and relaxed life as a mom. I immediately had the idea of drawing the little ones wrapped around her and all the while looking effortlessly chic! I'm not going to lie to you… I love this illustration! It may be one of my favorites!

Love Poem for What It Is
There's nothing in the world that loves you
more than the space you already take up.
There's nothing in the world that won't
forget you faster than you forgot
the last person that stepped out from your life.
When the cat reaches up
one needled paw to drag down a book
from your desk, then another,
that's not love—that's dominance.
When you reach up your hand and try to wheedle
someone else's to hold it, that's love
dominating you. There's no word for loving more
than you should, just the feeling of excess,
as if your tongue burst in a rash of red sequins,
as if everyone can see your stutter in the air,
staccato love you, love you, and nothing in the world
standing in that space to receive it.

Handicraft in Cameroon
By creating MINPMEESA in December 2004, the government of Cameroon had established an institutional framework that has helped to elevate handicraft to the level of government function. Law No. 2007/004 of July 3, 2007, came to consolidate this achievement by regulating the sub-sector.
This set of trades which the Cameroonian State gives support and consideration, even more than before, is becoming a growth factor and a vector of struggle against unemployment and endemic poverty. Handicraft as valued is a noble activity and a means of incentive to individual and professional entrepreneurship patrimony.
Given the potentials it offers, both in terms of the expression of a cultural handicraft and / or know-how inherited from father to son, rather than, the many varied and usual bearings, Crafts can be regarded as the "First Company of Cameroon."
Cameroon National Corps of Artisans records, nearly 40 000 artisans in 10 regions of Cameroon,
divided in about forty organizations and close to 300 groups and associations; a true national nest which
according to regions and traditions, draws the Artisanal chart of Cameroon on the basics of the type of activity :
- In the Far North: tanning, weaving and pottery
- In the deep south: wood and byproducts of the forest
- In West and North West: copper, bronze, wood carving, weaving and embroidery
- In the Littoral and South West: wood and wood byproducts, basket-work, decorations and floral art, textiles and clothing
The Challenges
Cameroon, through being one of the oldest centers of African art, has remained for the past decades hesitant to put in orbit in this sector. The craft is experiencing multifaceted burdens that hinder its evolution, modernization and development:
- Organizing and structuring the sector
- Access to credit to acquire equipment needed for the development of activities
- Access to training (management, capacity building)
- The establishment of a mechanism of social protection and appropriate taxation
To help meet these challenges, the Cameroonian government has taken two major options :
1) The construction of 12 large-scale complex which will include all together :
- A space for training
- An exhibition of products manufactured
- A workshop production
These artisanal complexes craft will be distributed one per region, (considering 10 regions in Cameroon), plus 2 special villages including one in Foumban in the West, specializing in metal work and the other in the center in Mbalmayo, specialized in ceramics.2) The biennial holding in January in Yaounde, of an international show dedicated exclusively to handicraft.

Set for The Steinbeck House in Salinas October 29
The next Monterey County Film Commission "Hollywood in Your Backyard" film industry networking mixer will be held at The Steinbeck House on Oct. 29 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The house is located at 132 Central Ave. in Salinas.
The event, an activity of the film commission's "Reel Friends of the Film Commission" support group, brings together the crew and businesses that can benefit from film production in the area, either financially or through job skill updating. It offers an opportunity to meet film industry professionals such as producers, location scouts, screenwriters and cinematographers.
- New Legislation to keep California more competitive with film production
Great news: Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law AB1839, a program that increases California's tax credit to $330 million a year for movies and TV shows produced in California. Without such support, the state would continue to see the decline in filming and its positive economic impact due to much larger incentive programs luring business to other states and countries. There's also a 5% bump in funding if the selected productions go to places like Monterey County, outside the Hollywood zone. For the latest information on applying, go to www.film.ca.gov as details are finalized.

Checkout my inaugural post for the portent.com blog…
Information Space has a conceptual mirror… Physical Space: Having recently worked my butt off to earn a Master of Architecture, I often come across those who are curious about my decision to channel my design education into the wonderful world of the interwebs. Basically, I'm regularly asked what capital-A Architecture actually is– as in, physical space-making (i.e. buildings, cities, landscapes)– and what it has to do with web design and development.
Dear Yahoo,
The 90s called. They want their logo back.
What's this I hear? Your own CFO explicitly stated that you need to become "cool again"? He's right about that. The youngest person I know that uses Yahoo is about to turn 40. 40! (Now there's a good use of your exclamation…
As the ShoeBox moved throughout the University of Oregon campus– from the Lillis Business Complex, to the Student Recreation Center, to the US Olympic Trials 2012 for Track & Field– the leadership of the A Step in the Right Direction group noted that it was becoming an icon for their shoe recycling initiative. To take advantage of this branding, they asked us to design a logo for the group that would capitalize on the iconic nature of the ShoeBox.
We worked our tails off getting the ShoeBox done in time and we finally finshed, revealing it in the Lillis Lobby on Tuesday of Earth Week. The reaction to it has been so exciting!
We barely slept for the last four days of the build, and not at all for the last two, but, unfortunately, that's how these design projects often end up! It's worth it in the end!
During the build and process, we managed to take a few photos, and even a video of us putting all the pieces together. (At least until the battery on my phone died, that is.)
I've finally had the chance to cull it all and put it together in this video. I could only upload a video 100MB or smaller here, so check it out above, or view a larger version of it at YouTube.
We lucked out big-time today!
As I mentioned in the post last week about using responsible materials, it was important to us to find either used, or FSC-certified wood materials for the ShoeBox.
Today, we went to BRING to poke around to see what we could find. It turns out, that Monaco (producer of coaches and motorhomes) has decided to move its production facilities out-of-state, and a bunch of their leftover materials were landfill-bound. Fortunately, the material was rescued and ended up at BRING instead. We had arrived at BRING with our fingers crossed, aware that we might have to buy something that we would then need to cut down to size, sand, finish etc. But, among the boxes of discarded trim from Monaco, we found the perfect thing: prefinished trim at the exact size we needed. This will save us so much valuable time!
Next, we went to Jerry's, where, as it turns out, they aren't kidding you: their customer service kicks the butt of any other hardware store I've been to. With their help, we picked up all the hardware we will need: threaded rods with little feet, bolts, rope, fasteners, and the like. Unforunately, all these items had to be purchased new, rather than used, because they didn't have enough matched items at BRING. There is so much luck involved with reused material sourcing sometimes!
Then, our last lucky find of the day was back at the furniture studio on campus. As we were dropping off our supplies, we perused the Materials Exchange, and managed to find some abandoned MDF pieces that were big enough to use for the top and bottom pieces of the ShoeBox.
We're all set and excited to get started building! Time to make this happen.
Context-Inspired Form
Although the ShoeBox will take up residence in a variety of locations over the course of its life, we designed it to pay homage to its original home: the main lobby of the Lillis Business Complex at the University of Oregon.
The atrium of the Lillis Business Complex can be simplified graphically as a large square, its perimeter formed by twelve columns. Brick patterning in the floor creates a grid of squares within the large main square. Three columns mark each of the corners of the large square, also marking the three exterior corners of the smaller squares formed at each of the corners of the large one.
We have given this same form to the ShoeBox: three steel rods in each corner provide the structure for the box. (Although, we have shifted the proportions to fit within the Golden Ratio.) At each corner of the box, a smaller square is formed, with its three exterior corners marked by each steel rod. These corner squares will hold etched acrylic panels with the diagrams explaining the piece. The ShoeBox will debut as shown in the sketch above, centered within one of the corner squares of the Lillis atruim.
Lastly, the Lillis Business Complex has a massive "Oregon O" on the main windows facing the quad, one of the main historic axes of the campus. We have mirrorred this "O" onto the top of the ShoeBox.
Shoe Lacing
Another design move we've decided to make with the ShoeBox is to extrapolate the form of a shoe and manifest this in each façade of the box.
Instead of constructing the entirety of each side only from wood slats, we have removed the upper-middle portion, analogous to the tongue of a shoe. Eye screws are fastened to the left and right sides of the opening, and rope is threaded through them starting at the bottom, with each end joining the other at the top, just like a pair of laced shoes.

May the force be with you.
Dutch designers Iris van Herpen and Jólan van der Wiel collaborated to grow these dresses with magnets.
Product designer Jólan van der Wiel approached fashion designer Iris van Herpen with the idea to grow clothing using magnetic forces. To do this they manipulated a material made from iron filings mixed into resin.
jolThis composite material was added to fabric in small sections then pulled by magnets, creating a spiky texture and patterns in a similar to the way van der Wiel shaped stools at Dezeen Platform in 2011.
"The technique still uses magnetism but with a new material that's much more flexible and tactile, like a hairy skin that's soft to touch," van der Wiel told Dezeen. "The material moves with the body much better than what we've used previously."
Before creating the dresses, van der Wiel experimented with the material to achieve the optimal flexible structure and dark pearlescent colour. Van Herpen then sketched out the shapes of the designs and made the cloth bases.
"The first dress we made was shaped like the moon," said van Herpen. "With the second, I wanted the material to grow around the body more organically." Each of the two garments took three weeks to construct.
The dresses were shown as part of Iris van Herpen's Autumn Winter 2013 fashion show in Paris earlier this month, where outfits were accompanied by 3D-printed shoes that look like tree roots.
"The original idea was to have a dress growing live during the show through magnetism… so people could see the birth of the dress, how the dress would grow," van Herpen said, though this proved too complex and potentially unsafe for the models.5 notes

1. Don't feed that one cute squirrel in the park a Dorito. They WILL go tell all their little squirrel friends. I glanced up from the book I was reading about a minute later and I literally had a squirrel posse. I'm sure it was entertaining to all of the people who could see me in the park. I was just sitting there, clutching my legs up on a bench because the squirrels were trying to attack my feet as I ate my Doritos. Pretty cool, eh?
2. Boys are stupid. Pretty self-explanatory.
3. I love crepes more than I even thought I did. I went to a cute little French bistro and had a red wine chicken crepe for dinner. Amazing.
4. I'm such a push-over when it comes to my boss/co-workers asking for me to cover for them. But my last day at CC for the summer will for REAL be on Saturday. And my boss is buying me lunch. Heck yes.
5. Apparently I coyly reject boys and don't even realize it. A boy today made a freaking website in an attempt to get my phone number. I still didn't give it to him. Oops. He then asked me to hang out Saturday night and I politely let him know I already have girlfriend plans.
6. Nicholas Sparks ruins my expectations of what a relationship should be (Currently reading The Lucky One)
7. I don't take compliments well. For some reason I get uncomfortable. I swear it's not low self-esteem. I just can only sincerely say "thank you" so many times before it gets awkward…
8. I miss my family a lot and can't wait to get home. My mom is torturing me with it cause she knows I'm so excited.
That's all. Peace out for the night!

Dalton Strategic Partnership brings Japanese investment capability in-house
Related fund data links
Dalton Strategic Partnership (DSP) plans to bring in-house its Japanese equity investment capability.
The firm has established a new subsidiary company in Tokyo, Dalton Capital (Japan) Limited (DCJ), in which its Japanese equity managers will reside.
The Japan Advantage team, which is headed by Akira Yoshimi and is responsible for the Melchior Japan Advantage Funds, will leave its current business, FuNNeX Asset Management, and move across to the newly formed entity at the end of April. All Japan Advantage assets, including the Melchior funds and all segregated accounts, will move with them to DCJ.
DCJ will be led by Kosuke Arao, who has a 33 year career in investment management and broking, including positions as head of equities at Mizuho Securities and chief executive officer of T & D Asset Management. Kosuke was formerly a portfolio manager at Mercury Asset Management, where he worked closely with the founding partners of both Dalton Strategic Partnership (Andrew Dalton) and FuNNeX Asset Management (Ken Nishizawa).
Magnus Spence (pictured), chief executive and managing partner, DSP, says: "This is a very positive development for DSP. Our firm now possesses an internally managed, world class, Japanese equity resource, and we are delighted to welcome Akira Yoshimi and his Advantage team into our company."

"This biscuit is made with herbs and amazingness and heaven. All whipped together."
Last Thursday night I made my best decision of the entire week: I made a reservation for M.B. Post. How I got one for a normal dinner time (who actually plans to eat dinner after 10:30pm?) for the following night is between God and OpenTable. Since I was already planning to head down to Manhattan Beach on Friday to meet a girlfriend for dinner, my lucky reso break seemed more like divine intervention.
I'm no stranger to M.B. I've been a couple of times. It's one of those places you originally designate as a "we-need-to-be-celebrating-something-to-go-there" spot then you go once and immediately decide you need to start celebrating more. However, every time I go, I knowingly put myself through the same emotional rollercoaster: 1) excitement, for being there; 2) joy, for that first sip of your drink; 3) intense jealousy (see below); and 4) gratification, for so many reasons. It never fails.
So the intense jealousy… If you're lactose intolerant, M.B. Post can make you try to talk yourself out of your allergy. How? Four words: BACON CHEDDAR BUTTERMILK BISCUITS. These beauties might actually be the highest-rated anything on Yelp. They're buttery and bacony and cheesy and everything I am not. Not that I haven't tried one before. I have. You have to. Even you, you lactose-plagued. You have to at least once (just a bite!), or I promise you, you won't go to bed happy with yourself.
Back to that divine intervention. MB Post's is served in two liquid forms: their Mo-Pho-Jito (have fun trying to pronounce that one) and their wine list. I know I said I usually go for a signature cocktail, but O.M.G. their wine lost. I have dreams about their wine list. And I'm by no means a wine snob. Montes is their house Pinot, and it is ahhhmazing. But I do recommend trying a glass (or bottle) of whatever your waiter suggests… these waiters know their grapes. If you're down to splurge, the Mondeard-Mugnert is a Pinot from Burgundy and is worth every cent of the hefty $23 per glass price tag. I don't recommend chugging wine ever but MAN this stuff will test your ability to pace yourself.
M.B. Post is a shared plate-style menu, and Chef LeFevre always sneaks seasonal stuff onto the menu. Since I would never make Lauren (my dinner date) deny herself some buttery/cheesy Friday night comfort, we ate mostly separate. She went with the biscuits (duh) and a seasonal creamy cajun shrimp skillet while I ordered the assorted pickles and the thai marinated shrimp ceviche. But because our waiter was a Godsend and offered to make sure the dish's buttery sauce was served on the side, we got to split the seasonal diver scallops and boyyyyyy was it worth the added instruction.
Some other dairy free things to try include the shrimp/chorizo/beluga lentil soup, steamed mussels in green curry, blistering blue lake green beans, and the fee fi fo fum fries (skip their mbp fry sauce and stick with ketchup). Another fan favorite is the roasted brussel sprouts… just make sure you order them without the emmental (cheese). Honestly, it's all good. My advice is to figure out what looks the best to you then ask your waiter what he/she can do. But keep your expectations within reason… their house made cavatelli will never be your jam.
And one more tip: the menu is inside that cutesy personalized envelope they give you when you sit down. My first time eating there, I made the mistake of not opening it and asked my waiter what gave. Smooth.

About 68 years ago, the USS Indianapolis secretly carried out of San Francisco Bay, the atomic bomb that three weeks later would be dropped on Hiroshima. She unloaded her lethal cargo in Tinian island in the Pacific, then sailed on to Guam.
From there she was ordered to head for Leyte Gulf in the Philippines to prepare for the invasion of Japan. While enroute Leyte, the Indianapolis began a journey that would become the worst U.S. naval disaster. Traveling without an escort due to her extremely secret mission, her voyage would take her through an area of ocean patrolled by Japanese submarines and sharks.
A few minutes past midnight of 30th of July 1945, two Japanese torpedoes tore into her side, igniting an explosion that broke the ship in two. She sank in just twelve minutes. Of her crew of 1,196, an estimated 900 survived the explosion - but the worst was yet to come. MORE > >
Ocean of Fear is a documentary about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in 1945, with actual survivor accounts combined with dramatic reconstruction of the events.
A popular culture adaptation is found in Steven Spielberg's 1975 thriller file Jaws, recounted by actor Robert Shaw whose character Samuel Quint is a survivor of the Indianapolis sinking, in the video above.

Sailing on a Hobie 16 (Vertigo) at Taal Lake Yacht Club. 20 knot winds with 25 knot gusts. Filmed on a Optrix iPhone 5. Music by U2 "Vertigo"
We have moved to the National Sailing Center!
Our boats (including appendages and rigging) have been moved from the Manila Yacht Club to the National Sailing Center (next to the Folk Arts in the Cultural Center Complex) run by the Philippine Sailing Association. A new fleet of Mirror dinghies have been added to the PSA fleet.
The National Sailing Center is offering learn to sail training to the public.
Rescue boat racing on the street, a fresh way to increase PHI citizens interest in boating. Love it!
This is a Martin 16, the type of boat we use most often for paraplegic sailing. I've labeled the parts of the boat so you can see the set up. The steering is controlled by a joystick, onto which you can see the woman holding. The steering can also be controlled by an able-bodied sailing partner from the back by two lines that are hooked up to the joystick.
There are also a couple different quadriplegic setups where the sailor can press buttons or use the huff-and-puff system where the sailor can blow or suck air from a tube to control the sails. I personally have only seen the button system installed but never had a chance to take pictures thusfar.
According to experienced sailors, the Martin 16 is impossible to broach. It does heel a lot in heavy winds, however. I find that it is extremely important to know how to sail rudderless, especially when you're partnering with someone who can't control the boat at all, is a newbie and/or want to keep the heeling to a minimum, because the aft steeing controls are hard to reach when you're hiking. You don't want your sailor to be uncomfortably sliding around in their seat on every tack.
You're always with competent sailors during races so they're going to heel as much or little as they want. As a sailing partner, you're mostly acting as tactician, an extra set of eyes to check the layline because the heeling creates a gigantic blindspot, and an extra set of hands to pull in the sails as you round the gybe mark.
Also, I finally got a chance to race with D. He was hilarious and he knew his shit. We got two bullets out of three that night. Fucking amazing.
Instagram FAIL, Five Other Photo apps WIN
Curious about all the hubbub about Instagram, we subscribed to the service shortly before Facebook bought Instagram.
Noted people wailing about the ruin the darkside would bring. We were still fence sitting however, the filters and frame features were primarily the reason for joining and we were not impressed, having used better apps. As to the the integrated social network, smart idea and possibly the main reason Instagram was such a big hit, but other photo apps also have sharing functions.
Then mid-December 2012, Instagram's new terms of service came out:
… a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.
That outraged many folk. Kick your users in the teeth will ya? The darkside that is FB manifested itself finally! Goodbye Instagram! You can backpedal all you like but we're gone.
The photo app hunt begins! With Photoshop as the gold standard, Photoshop Express' "lite" mobile app makes sense when away from access to the full version. PSEx has all the basic functions needed for improving mobile snaps. Just don't bother about the few preset effects and borders that seem tacked on as an afterthought. But what else is there?
So after trying several free IOS photo apps available for mobile users, here are our top 5 picks:
1. Snapseed (Google, Nik Software)
A refreshing take on imaging software (watch out Adobe!) and comes with a fascinating tilt shift control. The interface is cunningly designed for touch screen functionality on the tiny mobile screen with non-intrusive controls and well thought out functions and options. Selective Adjust uses control points to select areas for color or tonal adjustment. Absolutely brilliant for pro-PS users!

A decent selection of filters with lighting effects that can add pizzazz to flat sailing photos taken on a gray day. More effects (PLUS packs) available on purchase. Frames come with grunge effects like scratches, dirt, light leaks, print textures for those of us who grew up with (analog) printed photography and have seen, touched real vintage photos of grandfolks. Fun!

All the effects you never knew you wanted plus the kitchen sink, somewhat ruined by an in-your-face overly attached

5. Vintiq (GMY Studio)
Another retro/antique/vintage look imaging app. Absolutely useless for sailing photos unless you have a real tallship, a galleon or some old map with a kraken to make faux nostalgic photos. Still fun with the right photo to play with.
Vintiq app: Taal Lake map circa 1911 (Lake Bombon back then) now looks like a treasure map, complete with "towns obliterated" in the bottom legend. A sobering note as Taal Lake is our favorite sailing venue.

While all the proposed Philippine flood solutions will take years to build or implement or for attitudes/bad habits to change, here's the perfect amphibious vehicle for dealing with floods (AND lousy roads), we would love to have right now:
the VW Schwimmwagen (from FreakCitySF).
Just imagine future jeepneys and local vehecles built following this design. (photo source)
Ferdinand Porsche saw the potential of an amphibious version of the VW Kübelwagen (type82). The German Army was searching for a vehicle could handle snow, sand, mud and other rough grounds. He combined these qualities and added all-wheel drive which had been developed at about the same time for the VW (type87). The development project was called the type 128 which appeared in 1940…
Thirty examples were built in 1941 at the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Works and delivered to the Army's Engineer units. The type 128 had a boat-shaped body. The army was very impressed. In 1941 Porsche received instructions to further develop the type 128.
Professor Porsche thought that the type 128 was too large and so unstable. Porsche started to create a smaller Schwimmwagen, which resulted in the project: type 166. The first 125 vehicles were produced by the Porsche Team and they were hand-made in Stuttgart. These cars are also known as "Vorserienschwimmwagen" or preseries Schwimmers.
In the water the engine drove a three-bladed propeller at the rear of the Schwimmwagen. The type 166 was very popular, mainly because of the off-road capabilities thanks to the 4wheel drive…

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not treatment with ustekinumab improves symptoms of Crohn's disease and also to look for any possible side effects (good and/or bad) in patients with this disease.
The target population consists of men or women ≥ 18 years of age with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (of at least 3 months duration). Subjects must also havedemonstrated an inadequate response to or have failed to tolerate corticosteroids or immunomodulators: 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), azathioprine (AZA), and methotrexate (MTX). Subjects having demonstrated corticosteroid dependence (ie, an inability to successfully taper corticosteroids without a return of the symptoms of Crohn's disease) are eligible for entry into the study.
If you are eligible for the study, we will assign you by chance (like a coin toss) to one of three treatment groups. You may get either ustekinumab or placebo (placebo looks exactly like the study drug, but it contains no active ingredient). The chance that you will get ustekinumab in this study is 2 out of 3.
Your participation in this study will last for 9 to 13 weeks (depending on how long you are in the screening period). You will visit your study doctor 5 times in this study. At the final visit (which occurs 8 weeks after your infusion), you will be asked to participate in an additional 44-week (maintenance) study and a long-term extension study that will last approximately 4 years. If you become ineligible or choose not to participate in themaintenance study, your participation in this study will be extended for an additional 12 weeks to look for any potential adverse reactions in a final safety visit.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge (2000-2001/MULTI2/Full/Rip)
Year: 2012 | PC Game | Eng Rus | Developer: Westwood Pacific | Publisher: EA Games | 2.52 GB
Genre: Strategy (Real-time) / 3D
The story continues to events of the first Red Alert – Allies win the war, and Stalin killed during the final battle for Moscow. The head of state appointed Chairman of the allies of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Alexander Romanov as a "puppet" to keep the peace.
However, Romanov's other plans: remembering the humiliation experienced by the Russian people during the Allied occupation, he prepares to take revenge on America. Later in the Soviet campaign tells us that the right hand used the premier Yuri Romanov at the psychological impact and the other members of the Soviet government to encourage them to attack the U.S. while simultaneously manipulating both the USSR and the West, as well as working on creating its own army. The Soviet army intervened in the civil war in Mexico, supporting rebels fighting the pro-American government, which causes resentment of U.S. President Dugan. Further confrontation leads to the fact that both the USSR and the USA are ready to start another world war.
Learning about the movement of Soviet transports across the Atlantic to the shores of North America, Dugan connected via a telephone line with the Romanovs and the emerging demands to stop the invasion, after which orders the use of U.S. nuclear arsenal against the Soviet Union. However, Americans are simply not able to launch missiles with multiple warheads, as Yuri puts hypnosis American manager, and he blows up the rocket before launch. As a result, the threat of nuclear war avoided, but loyal to Gen. Vladimir
Romanov led a surprise attack on the United States. Since then, both originate from the campaign.
The plot runs parallel to the add-on with the storyline of the original Red Alert 2, mainly focusing on the fight with Yuri, but not to the ground war, which is the rest of the armed forces are not engaged in the hunt for George. In addition, both the Soviet and Allied campaigns can clearly be seen a certain parallelism (for example, of the fourth mission of the two campaigns going on in the deserts of Africa, and the fifth – in Oceania). The player is not given campaign, Yuri, but Yuri for the army you can play multiplayer options or single mode.

Suburbanites may care about the Cincinnati mayoral race, but they are only spectators ("Mayor's race has impact on suburban residents," Oct. 8).
Those who work in the city but live elsewhere benefit from limited city services (fire/police protection, paved streets, etc.) but have no voice in city elections in exchange for the income tax Cincinnati removes from their wages.
Didn't we win a war more than two centuries ago fought because of "no taxation without representation"? Guess not.

Former WWE Diva Chyna is about to go green for her next 'movie role' — a pornographic parody of She-Hulk.
Vivid Entertainment, the company behind Chyna's porn debut and her upcoming wrestling parody porno, made the official announcement last week that she'll next be tackling the green superhero in her third movie for them.
A press release reads:
[notice]Chyna plays She-Hulk aka Jennifer Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner, best known to most of the world at The Hulk. When her emotional state is sufficiently high, she is the strongest woman in the world. She has been a member of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Heroes for hire, the Defenders, Fantastic Force and S.H.I.E.L.D. She-Hulk is also a highly skilled lawyer who has served as legal counsel to several of the superheroes when needed.
Joining Chyna in "She Hulk XXX" are Gracie Glam, Lexie Belle, Jennifer Dark, Nicole Aniston, Alexis Texas, Mark Wood, Alec Knight, Alan Staford, Ryan Driller, Dale Dabone and Eric Masterson.
DISCLAIMER: She-Hulk: A XXX P-rn Parody is a PARODY MOVIE. She-Hulk ® is a registered trademark of Marvel Characters, Inc. The video is not sponsored, endorsed by or affiliated Marvel Characters, Inc. or any person or entity affiliated with it.[/notice]
Chyna won an AVN Award (think porn Oscars) for her adult movie debut last year in "Backdoor to Chyna". She is next set to feature in a wrestling porn parody featuring a bevvy of male porn stars portraying past and present wrestlers including Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, The Iron Sheik and John Cena.
Can you say, "CHYNA SMASH?"
ngl, I googled every one of the other porn stars to just to see who'll bone Chyna….
So did I!!! Lol
Any lookers?
Let's just say it is something I would watch =-P
LMAO, I did the same thing.
Before the judgement police come along, I'll say if this makes her happy more power to her. She could actually make some good money from this (the movies and appearances) if she is careful.
I don't look down on porn stars. I look down on rapists, murderers and all the people who do terrible things in life. Just to put things in perspective before people act like this is the worst thing in the world.
Dude love your comment! And your name lol but seriously I totally agree with you. I couldn't have said it better myself!
^THIS!!!!!!! ^_^ lol
I also completely agree with both you guys. JJ and JJ. There's also a top porn producer names JJ who owns his company Jules Jordan Video. Perhaps one day we can see Mickie James unleash herself for JJV once she hangs up her wrestling boots and laces up the hooker boots…
LMFAO! Oh, Chyna girl get it the fuck together.
she hulk…? she would have went for Hawk Girl…lol jk…
And to think: at one time I actually thought she was perfect to play the She-Hulk!!!
Turns out you were dead on and may I get some input on who you think some of my favorite sexy wrestlers would best play?
Candice Michelle
Eve Torres (I said Wonderwoman)
Kaitlyn (I said Batgirl)
Mickie James (I said Rogue)
Natalya Neidhart
Rosa Mendes (I said Invisible Woman)
I ask you because you seem to be an expert since you nailed it with Chyna and since I'm a huge fan of comic book babes and Goddesses of wrestling, I find your input to be interesting…
Well, let's see:
Candice Michelle-Tygra
Eve Torres-Firestar
Kaitlyn-Stompa (one of the Female Furies) or Big Barda
Maryse-Scarlet Witch, or Bella Donna Boudreaux
Mickie James-Spider-Woman
Rosa Mendes-Fire (the green fire woman from "Justice League: Unlimited), or Magma!!!
And let me add:
Kelly Kelly-Supergirl
Beth Phoenix-Power Girl
and lastly: as Granny Goodness-Vickie Guerrero!!!
I think the style of the porn movies she is doing is actually pretty cool! I do not think there is anything wrong with porn at all! If you are a consenting adult who is not harming yourself or anyone else and isn't destroying the community and you are truly happy with doing it then I say go for it!! I think the parody style she is doing is a good way of trying to do something different. I already own her first two movies and will definitely be buying the new parody ones as well!
Exactly. Good for her, I say. I just wish it were a hotter former Diva but it's all good as long as Chyna is happy and getting paid to please and be pleased…
I can't even begin to tell you how disappointing this is..
That's an interesting concept, lol. Not for me, though. I'm not much into sci-fi porn.
Do you, Chyna. She's making a living & I'm not going to judge or look down on her for doing sex work. I believe there is nothing wrong with consenting adults choosing to make a living this way. There is a huge market for sex; always was, always will be. I am not going to vilify sex workers for supplying where there is endless demand for commercial sex.
Make your money, girl.
i'd watch it if i could get an erection for her
ps, does anyone know who plays that cena wannabe in chyna's next flick? i want him to sit on my face
That's why we need to hope that Eve Torres or Rosa Mendes will follow Chyna's lead one day. Obviously, Kaitlyn and Mickie James would be able to give you an erection no problem but they are their respective companies' top talents…IMHO of course.
kaitlyn is not being used as top talent and i dont think she wll anytime soon with eve heel turn, layla return and kharma on the way
Fair enough but I feel that she IS a top talent although she's not being used as one. Personally, I feel Natalya is the top wrestling talent, followed by Beth Phoenix, Eve Torres, Kaitlyn and lastly Tamina Snuka. That's how I rank my Top 5 women wrestlers in the WWE and Kaitlyn is better looking (beauty talent) and better speaking (mic talent) than all of them (put together). I feel like Layla is vastly overrated and not very good in the ring and not very interesting to look at so I doubt she will have a major push. Obviously, Eve will be huge if they continue with her storyline and Kharma has arguably more wrestling talent than all the other women but only a limited sex appeal which figures to be more important with the WWE. Anyway, sorry for the superlong post but I feel like Kaitlyn is the most underrated women in wrestling history and that she should be pushed better and given her title shot that she earned by winning NXT 3…
i think you overrate kaitlyn a bit, but well she's our favorite and i also see alot of future for her, she has the talent and years to improve even more
Lol I think he's trying to say he's gay.
What does his sexual orientation have to do with anything?
What? It has something to do in regards to the comments made above and not in the negative sense.
At least she's actually making something of a career out of this. If it's what she wants to do, then I'm glad she's making some money. As long as she's keeping herself heathy and happy, I'm not going to judge her.
Not bashing her or anything but it is sad that once the 9th Wonder of the World is now doing born ): Man i wish she was still in TNA (She had a BADASS theme)
What's the one thing that Chyna has always been about since hitting the mainstream? Empowerment. That's why, in spite of any personal problems the press want to report she has, she herself has no hang ups about doing porn. I find the whole affair rather tongue in cheek and even though I'm hardly likely to get into this new branch of her career, I can't help but smile at the fact she's doing this unabashedly. Whatever turns her on, for lack of a finer phrase.
Well said. Are you a professional writer or something? I ask because I find that you write the best comments and seem to have the most skill out of anybody on the site. Anyway, I always enjoy reading your comments and I appreciate the positive attitude that you always seem to bring. Thank you for your upbeat insight and look forward to what you have to say in the RAW response tonight…
wow chyna is being succesful as a porn star xD
mm i just googled alec knight woww just spechless ROFL
Lmao I can't. A she hulk ? Wanna do porn fine but why can't she do anything normal like a sexy teacher? Is a she hulk even sexy?
she-hulk slept with 80% of the Male Marvel superheroes. Wolverine rejected her though. weird as it may sound….
Way to go Chyna! Here's hoping that Eve Torres, Mickie James and Rosa Mendes look up to Chyna and follow in her footsteps someday. Obviously, Kaitlyn would be the best for it but she's the future WWE Diva Champion so we can't think that she'll appear in XXX as Batgirl or anybody when she's got her title to defend. Anyway, Eve Torres as Wonderwoman, Mickie James as Rogue and Rosa Mendes as Invisible Woman (since her talent is transparent) would all be amazing XXX heroines if they could keep up with the awesomeness that is Chyna. I'd say Eve Torres and Mickie James would be extremely unlikely but Rosa Mendes could outrun Chyna in the hardcore sex department…
They're using copyrighted names owned by Disney?
Can you say "lawsuit" boys and girls?
there had been a porn parody of X-men, Hulk and Spiderman, No lawsuit happened, Though she-hulk is fit for a porn parody cos she is the most sexually active superhero. You'll be shock how sex is a normal part of a she-hulk comicbook.
Parodies generally change the names a bit. This seems to be using the actual names.
WWE employess should start doing porn flicks. That will be hot as hell.
Just imagine..
-Dolph Ziggler
-John Cena
-Randy Orton
take kharma & cena out then im all good with it..imagine dolph & layla getting it on or 3 way adding zack ryder gets me hot just thinking about it LOL…jks..
i like she hulk but i wont be watching this…not anything against her just not my thing….
MY OPINION: honestly i dont feel Diva Dirt should be covering wat pornos Chyna is doing next, i understand that she is part of the wrestling world & etc. but i dont feel that something like "Chynas next porno" should be discussed on here,save it for the other Wrestling News websites, just my view/opinion, no disrespect :-/
Well, covering what Chyna's up to is as legit as covering what other former Divas like Trish, Lita, & Stacy are doing. Granted, it always seems to be "drug addled trainwreck" stuff, but not everyone can be a positive role model. We've got Trish for that.
Chyna falls into the category of "object lesson."
wow. u really cant help yourself can you?
Call me small minded, but how is it right for women and men to be payed for having sex?
I have nothing against it. I just think it's not a good industry for someone with that history of substance abuse and psychological problems.
she-hulk is very different from her cousin, Unlike her cousin Hulk, she loves being she-hulk, she also doesnt turn dumb like her cousin. she practices Law in her Hulk form. she is a successful lawyer.
She-hulk is the most sexually active superhero she had sex with Ironman, Manwolf,Juggernaut,Hercules, some random Male Model,Starfox,Luke Cage, Wyatt Wingfoot,Hawkeye,Dare Devil and more to mention.
she tried to seduce Wolverine but he rejected her.
I don't care what anyone says "free choice" blah blah blah "consenting adults".
Hurts my childhood honestly.
Yeah, you have to separate Chyna the character on Raw from the woman who played her, even if she can't.
I think this whole thing is disgusting. I respect her legacy and what she did in the business, but this is just horrible.
She's free to make her choices of course, but on the scale of how far people have fallen–ugh.
I can understand why you are upset. I mentioned the "consenting adults" bit so I could make it clear what I do/don't find problematic about the commercial sex industry.
You are entitled to your opinion, reaction & feelings of disgust. However, Chyna does not owe people anything, least of all preserving the innocence of childhood memories. The WWF was never "child friendly" in the first place, especially with content that was, at best, highly suggestive & at worst, saturated with sexual violence.
This is the same company that has featured numerous angles in which prominent stars employ violence, most often sexualized, against women in order to coerce them into submission and/or prove that they are the superior man & not to be messed with. Some examples: Kane stalking, kidnapping & coercing Lita into sex & impregnating her; Stacy Keibler being "owned" by Test; Trish Stratus barking like a dog, stripping down to her underwear while the audience cheers on her humiliation; Kurt Angle sexually assaulting Sharmell on live T.V. & threatening her with escalated abuse after defeating her husband; Dean Malenko's "pursuit" of Lita; Stephanie's abusive relationship with HHH; almost every woman being subjected to sexual harassment at some point in their career with the threat of job termination if they refused to do whatever sexual act was asked of them, mainly stripping or implied sex; women being kissed/groped by their co-workers without consent; anything featuring Eric Bischoff with women. Also, the disturbing fact that Vince once proposed an incest story line in which he or Shane would've impregnated Stephanie.
You get the point. What's highly disturbing about all of these angles is that they were justified in some way or framed in a manner that forced the audience to side with/cheer for the male personality. Thinking of the commentary during that time makes me so sick. These audiences were often desensitized to the violence/abuse of women characters & enjoyed it, so long as there was a sexual element.
There are many parallels between WWF (& WWE before PG) and the commercial sex industry. They share(d) a similar target audience & just like a lot mainstream pornography, WWF made money from depicting women being brutalized, violated & humiliated by men, with the assumption that they enjoy that kind of treatment, because they operated from the idea that "sex and violence sell." In the same way that mainstream "lesbian" porn is crafted for the pleasure of the male consumer, we had Bra & Panty matches, paddle-matches, mud wrestling, etc., in which female wrestlers humiliate each other to excite the audience. The difference is that while WWF/E only features mock sex or rape, they marketed their product to children while simultaneously trying to be scandalous enough for the 18-35 age group.
If you really think about all the crap Vince McMahon has tried to sell to audiences in the past, it's fundamentally coming from the same lens or perceptive as porn, sans the real sex. Porn is just more exclusive & marketed to a mature audience & not children (although that doesn't stop children from accessing it) where wrestling has a huge audience & is a part of mainstream television (not so much, now).
Something else that can't be ignored is substance abuse problems, mental health issues, suicide rate of those exiting this business. People like to point fingers at the porn industry when it comes to this, but it's a significant concern in this context, too.
I find it interesting that you are critical of Chyna's career in pornography & call it disgusting, without acknowledging that her former employer could be/has been criticized in the same way. WWE has a horrible history of sexually exploiting its women workers & considering the lewdness of their product in the past, I don't think Chyna has fallen very far, to use your words.
*Forgive me, I wrote more than I had intended.
@FAYE there's nothing interesting about it. I can be critical of both without having to mention it every time.
Her Howard Stern interview demonstrated to me just how horribly out of sync with the reality of her life she is…the description of painful intercourse, bleeding, bruised vaginal wall, how uncomfortable some of the scenes were–it made me cringe. It sounded like a miserable, horrible experience, completely opposite of empowering.
What does WWE mistreating women have to do with what Chyna is doing? Every time I criticize Chyna for engaging in disgusting behavior I have to bring up WWE?
That makes no sense whatsoever. I'm not going to temper every discussion of something Chyna is doing with a "but WWE also did this" …because I have criticized WWE on separate occasions, but this post is about Chyna and her life.
I think you are overly defensive on Chyna's behalf, because believe me I find many things that WWE has done disgusting and abhorrent. I also find Chyna's professional choices to be disgusting abhorrent and sad. Should I also mention the exploitative practices of the film industry every time I criticize Roman Polanski?
Is your defense that if I watch WWE's product I have no right to find Chyna's profession disgusting and degrading? The equivocation here and assumptions made on how critical I am and how I view WWE's product is ridiculous. I swear, diva dirt has some of the biggest apologists on the Internet. On some topics I find posters to be completely reasonable, on others I think they would make excuses for anything. Now I guess I can't criticize pornography or Chyna without being unfair to women–I have to write an entire essay on what WWE does wrong in addition. Good to know.
The next time I criticize something questionable that one of their former female employees does, I'll make sure to also post a handy list of the bad things WWE does too, because you know, that has relevance in every conversation.
There would be a porn star named after my state -_- Well…. Good for Chyna? Haha
For all the haters, get a life.
To anyone for this, well not FOR it but not against I say I love you because you are care free and you don't like to tell people whats right or wrong.
Good for Chyna, she seems to be doing well with this porn thing.
Remember you said that when she pulls a Whitney.
are you kidding?
you must be a complete loser to actually want someone to die, especially when you yourself have done nothing even remotely close to what she has accomplished in her life.
get a life, hater.
Find a dictionary. Look up "enabler."
Never mind, I'll do it for you…
: one that enables another to achieve an end; especially : one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior (as substance abuse) by providing excuses or by making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior
Then, look in the mirror.
A few weeks back, Whitney Houston stumbled out of a nightclub, looking and behaving in a way that should have set off alarm bells with everyone. Yet, tons of people responded to the reports and photos with "Oh, these haters! They just want to make her look bad! They just want her to die!"
I said, at the time, "Someone needs to act, and NOW." By your definition, that made me a "hater," right?
Two days later, she was found dead in her hotel room.
You want to know something else that set off alarm bells, recently? Chyna's behavior at an awards show, followed immediately by a long series of twitter rants indicating either a complete meltdown, falling off the wagon hard, or both.
Look THOSE up, then come back and provide the excuses enablers always find. Oh, do you know who her running buddy was during that HUGE trainwreck period a few years back? Porn star Mary Carey, who, now that she's into porn, completely, is her main running buddy, NOW.
If not wanting another human being to die before she's 50 makes me a "hater" in your eyes, so be it. Better to be what you define as a hater than an enabler. If her "true" fans are defined as people who cheer on her self destruction, I think she needs better "true" fans.
i have never endorsed her career, but she can do what she likes.
providing excuses is different to providing the facts, something you never have, hence you are a hater.
whitney houston situation is still very unclear so for you to even relate that is laughable, someone who just wants to spread negativity on everything.
chynas "behaviour" at the avn awards. ive seen the footage, ive seen all her interviews, and she seemed fine to me. "dazed look" alyways signals drugs right?again, haters not knowing facts.
as far as her twitter rants, i dont know. its very possible she just had a meltdown. and when people have meltdowns, saying they are going to die is going to make it better right? right.
as far as mary carey? i dont care and id love to see how this has any relevance?
"If not wanting another human being to die before she's 50 makes me a "hater" in your eyes, so be it. " delete 'not' and you got it.
like i said im not finding any excuses, i am providing facts. its people like you who always make assumptions about everythng and inspire negativity around people when its hasnt even been proven, nor do you even know any circumstances. its people like you who go out of there way to shit all over others. so, no its not "true fans", its you, real haters. so do me a favour and go find something to do with your life instead of spreading false assumptions and wishing death on other people.

Christmas With The Kranks (2004)
A movie which celebrated a grim form of ultra American conservatism instead of Krimbo, this practically invited anyone with a ounce of rebellion to slip out into the snowy darkness and open a vein.
Tim Allen (yes, him) and Jamie Lee Curtis plays the empty-nesters who change their traditional Yuletide plans to the vicious displeasure of the neo-Nazi neighbours. Ok, alright then, good 'ole American folk.
What we said:"You come away from this awesome pile of cheap Christmas sentiment and craven conformity thinking Scrooge may have got it right all along."
