A word from STK - NYC - Midtown
STK artfully blends two concepts into one—the modern steakhouse and a chic lounge. A large central lounge area is furnished with creamy leather banquettes and textured crocodile tiles, and is surrounded by an elevated dining room for more formal dining. Theatrical lights illuminate each table, while a DJ creates an energetic vibe throughout the entire space. STK Midtown is located in Midtown Manhattan, just steps from the bustling Theatre District. STK Midtown includes an outdoor patio and separate bar during summer months. As anticipated, steak is the main attraction. With a female-friendly mindset, STK offers small, medium and large cuts of meat, as well as naturally raised options and market fresh fish entrees. Aside from steak, signature items include Parmesan Truffle Fries; Lil' BRGs; Shrimp Rice Krispies; Sweet Corn Pudding; and Jump Lump Crab Salad.Continued

- Let DownOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/22/2014I always go to the STK and LA and this one did not cut it when it came to customer service. The hostesses ignored me and my group and did not offer to take our coats. Then as we left had to take them down ourselves, so much for a tip. The waiter checked on our table every 5minutes and my steak was suppose to be medium and was leaking of blood everywhere, when i asked for medium well instead I got it well done. I don't think the food was good enough for me to come back again either :(

Every staff member was friendly and a had a fantastic attitude...from the wait staff to bus boys even the often thankless job of men's room attendant...everyone was spot on. STK nails hospitality! A few highlights were: Shane the bartender was friendly and attentive and Ricki the manager was a real gem.

- Stk in midtownOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014I was surprised that the taste of the food did not live up to everything I heard about. The food was bland and I was disappointed. I was looking forward to good tasting food. We ordered Shrimp krispsy (no flavor) for appetizer and Ribs from the entree (it was soft but extremely dry). I would not recommend STK to others.

- Muito caro, ambiente hostil!!!terezinha58Dined on 10/14/2014o restaurante e bonito, mas se parece com uma casa noturna em razão da baixa luminosidade.

- Fabulous food. Great vibe.FiveCanadianGirlsDined on 10/4/2014Forrest, our server, was great in suggesting wine and food selections. We each REALLY enjoyed our meal. KOBE and skirt steak was oh-la-la... tasty!Music was loud but it was great music so loud is good. After our meal, we danced near the bar... never expected to do that but the staff seemed to encourage it. It was a party - all great people - nothing weird or quirky. Just ENERGY from wall to wall. KOBE and skirt steak was oh-la-la... tasty!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/4/2014A little loud and I requested a booth, and they say is at a regular table with a bunch of people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YummyFeedmeVIPDined on 10/3/2014The food here is amazing. One of the best steak tartare's I have ever had! A really good wine list too. If you don't like loud, noisy restaurants it is best to avoid this place! If you don't mind noise, then this is the place for you.Special Features:
- ExpensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/3/2014Food was good but expensive, nice for special occasion but not an 'everyday' meal. Wine list was shockingly expensive!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/2/2014The food was amazing and the workers are fantastic. Can't wait to go back next week with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great menu and fooddiningdivaDined on 10/2/2014Tried this place even though I was skeptical because it is a "chain" restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at how crowded and lively it was for lunch and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The salads and burgers were the best and the fries looked very good as well even though I didn't order them. I will definitely keep this on my list for client lunches.Special Features:
- Love itAVARGAS18Dined on 10/1/2014Espectacular decoration, excellent food, good drinks, cool music, veerryyy good service. I think I am in love with STKSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wouldn't Go BackCapitanSourceVIPDined on 9/30/2014Good food but not the best streakhouse food I'd ever had. Surpirisingly limited menu. Only one fish special - swordfish. Extemely loud. Tuesday night at 7 a band was playing so loud we could hardly talk to each other. Not what we were looking for.Special Features:
- Cheryl A. McElmanHelloKDined on 9/27/2014The service was very good. Our waitress was very pleasant. We were not happy with our table in the beginning and with a little complaining, they moved us. When you are paying those kinds of prices, the tables should be a little further apart and cozier. I felt like I was in a cafeteria with the person next to me just TOO close. Appetizers and drinks came fairly quickly, however dinner entrees were a little slow to come out, but the steak was very tasty. Loved the music, DJ has some skills!Special Features:
- Delicious, high quality ingredientsOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/27/2014The menu is diverse, and each dish was beautifully crafted of high quality ingredients. Even though it is a steak restaurant, there are many amazing options ranging from duck to market fish and the freshest salads.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 9/24/2014We are in our 40's. and went here to celebrate our 10 yr. anniversary. It was a weeknight and the place was packed, they sat us at a great little booth. The waitress was excellent and took her time explaining and going over everything. ...but also really good at sales and up selling :) It was the most expensive dinner we ever had but everything was delicious and prepared perfectly. We were so full we had no room for dessert. It was nice that they wished us a "Happy anniversary" but for 10 yrs. a very small sweet @the end would have been a nice touch. The restaurant was pretty loud and filled with mostly "business after work groups". We didn't mind but if you are looking for quiet this may not be the place for you....Special Features:
- Not the normal chef on Sunday?YummyDined on 9/21/2014I have always loved STK. I was so excited to be back in NYC to eat there again. It just wasn't the same as always.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVED IT!!MrsOTUDined on 9/21/2014The ambiance is very nice. The place is very big. The management and waitstaff are very friendly and top notch. Make you feel welcomed. The food was very good and the bread was delicious! They brought us 2 glasses of champagne because it was our anniversary, which was really nice! The doughnuts are to die for!!! One of the best dining experiences we have had in a while. It is very expensive, but we will be back for another special occasion.Special Features:

The Pros and Cons of Wearing a $199 Catwoman-Inspired T.J. Maxx Dress to The Dark Knight Rises on Opening Night
- Unlike a full catsuit, this leather dress does not require a week's worth of pre-wear fasting and can be worn again at social functions that are not Batman-themed birthday parties, on days that are not Halloween, and on nights that are not spent in an S&M dungeon.
- It's $199.01 cheaper than the exact same vaguely Catwoman-inspired dresses sold at their suggested retail price of $399 (provided by T.J. Maxx). Kudos to you for being smart with a penny.
- You may be falling off the edge of your seat all night, and not by the design of Christopher Nolan but by the unidentified dressmaker who sent his/her heavily discounted leatherwear to T.J. Maxx.
- There are no pockets in which to hide smuggled Sno Caps and Starbucks coffee.
- Ushers may reflexively direct you to the Magic Mike theater by mistake.

Blue Jackets ink Calvert to 2-year extension
Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - The Columbus Blue Jackets signed forward Matt Calvert to a two-year contract extension on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old Calvert, who is day-to-day with a broken finger, has registered nine goals and seven assists in 42 games this season.
"Matt is a dynamic young winger that plays with great tenacity at both ends of the ice and we look forward to his continued development and contributions to our hockey club," said Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen.
Selected by Columbus in the fifth round of the 2008 draft, Calvert has compiled 20 goals and 39 points in 97 career games.

|It has been suggested that this article be merged into LGBT in Islam. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2014.
Bisexuality in the Arab world for both men and women is not unknown;[1] estimates of prevalence vary, and depend on region. Stonewall estimates that Saudi Arabia has 1.9 million LGBTQ people, but does not estimate the proportion of bisexuals in that figure.[2]
There are what has been interpreted as prohibitions against homosexual behavior in the Qur'an[3] and severe penalties for LGBT persons in some countries; men practicing homosexuality may still face the death penalty in several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia,[2][4] Yemen,[4] the United Arab Emirates, Sudan,[4] and Mauritania.[4] The Qur'an requires that the sexual behavior in question is witnessed by four witnesses if females perform it.[5]

Brussels Metro Map Changeover, April 2009
Here's an interesting pair of photos from 2009 that show two in-car strip maps that co-existed on Metro trains in Brussels. Together, they show the changes in the system that were occurring with the opening of track between the Delacroix and Gare de l'Ouest stations.
Apart from a new look to the map, the system itself seems to have been overhauled completely, with the previous lines "1A" and "1B" becoming "5" and "6", amongst lots of other changes. Note also the four languages used on the informational stickers: French, Dutch, English and German!

Ah, Brussels, perhaps the only place in the world with a circular metro line that is not circular? Three years later,...

Sold Date: 02/18/2011
Channel: Online Auction
Source: eBay
Category: Sports
Manufactured by E. Joseph Cossman & Co., Hollywood 46,California. Early 1960s. US Divers Co. made a version as well, but I'm assuming this is the earlier version (Cossman possibly sold out to US Divers). The Surf Lung was a toy that allowed a child to swim on the surface only while breathing through a double hose snorkel. This is a really cool toy! This example appears to never have been used. The rubber hoses are still crisp and although there is some dust (did not clean), overall, it is in beautiful shape. Box is still crisp and pretty clean and considering it is 50 years old, it is in great shape with no cardboard missing. Box Dimensions 21.5" x 8" x 7" The graphics on the box make this toy a home run: "Sand ballast can be poured in bottom of tank, Strap on back shoulder height, Can be used in the water, or in play yard" I can't imagine they made too many of these before they were pulled for safety reasons. I think this is a pretty rare toy – especially in this condition. Amazing, Humorous Piece to Own!!!

Theatre: Artie Shaw and His Cinderella
Theatre Staged Reading
Artie Shaw was a bandleader, clarinetist, precision marksman, expert fly fisher, composer, World War II veteran, and writer in the booming swing era of the 1930's and 40's. Born May 23, 1910 in New York, he was the only child of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Austria. At 15 years old, shortly after picking up the clarinet for the first time, he quit school to pursue music. Once he formed a permanent band, his music blended jazz, classical, Afro-Cuban influences, and string arrangements into a style that was all his own. At the height of his career Shaw tried to hire Billie Holiday as the band's vocalist, and while she decided not to stick around, one of Shaw's greatest hits "Any Old Times" came out of the temporary partnership. Known as the "King of Clarinet" and for calling his fans "morons" for that title (King of Swing, please), Shaw was both a virtuosic composer and outspoken public figure.
Aside from his music, Shaw was infamous for his romantic liaisons. He was married a total of eight times to many high profile women including actresses Lana Turner and Ava Gardner. His more stable relationship with writing came to fruition in his autobiography, The Trouble with Cinderella: An Outline of Identity, which was published in 1952. During the following two decades he published two collections of short stories.
Artie Shaw and His Cinderella by Joan Martin Burke, and directed by Lois Roach, Lecturer in Theatre Studies, is part of the Fall 2014 New Works Series. In the play, our notorious bandleader, Artie Shaw, has just died. He finds himself detained in a bare, drab room adjacent to the Main Room, awaiting assignment to his final destination. When he learns that his fate is to be decided by the votes from his eight ex-wives, his chances of reaching the Main Room are in real jeopardy. Will he make it or not?

I want something new. I do love him, but I know I'm strong enough to live without him. I'm choosing not to. Any deal breakers become involved, and I would have not a second thought at kicking him out.
For me this is where I am - trying R, but preparing for the worst. I love my life outside of the mess WH dumped on me and I know I'll be ok either way. But this thread is a great one, because I wrestle with this gorilla every stinking day.
Be happy with what you have while you work for what you want - Hellen Keller
me (WW/BS): 48
him: (BS/WH)52
4 kiddos in mid 20's
Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave. Tell the truth and dont take any shit.
Being only six weeks into this mess, I am asking the same question. WH is what I believe to be a decent and good human being who made a huge mistake. But I spent the first three weeks after D-Day comforting him through his grief from having to give up the MOW. Now I learn he's broken NC, he's facing the prospect of NC again and can barely hold himself together over the thought of never seeing her or speaking to her again, and I find myself wishing I could ease his pain. How messed up is that?
This is of course in between my moments of total anger and recognition of how selfish and confused and in a fog he is. And in the past few weeks (but for the huge setback of NC), he was really doing the work, showing remorse, and having actions match words enough that it gave me the desire to continue toward R.
I recognize that at this moment (being only 48 hours since learning of NC), I am in a fog of my own and probably into "being his doormat" territory. But I am seriously asking this same question and feeling more and more resolve to stop being a doormat. All of this is to say that the fact that you recognize there is a difference between compassion and settling suggests to me that you already have a good mechanism by which to find that line and protect yourself (vs. if you weren't able to see the difference).
Good luck and keep us posted. Sounds like many of us are wrestling with the same question.
This is where I'm at too. I have to admit I have not gotten to compassion yet, but I am not settling either. I have to give it more time before I know.
Our M pre-A was so out of balance. I was putting in 95% to the M and he was putting in about 5%. That has all changed. I needed it to change. If our M dynamic wasn't changing I was filing and I let WH know this.
Great thread!!!
[This message edited by crazyblindsided at 6:08 PM, August 5th (Monday)]
For me, I think this is where I have made mistakes in the past, letting too many things go and settling because I was scared of leaving, scared of being alone, etc...
Now, it's less about having compassion vs. settling- and more about what makes me happy overall. The majority of my time with my stbh is happy. We care about each other. Most of the time, we respect each other and have respected each other. We work through problems together. We are best friends.
If things were to ever get to a point where I spent more time unhappy than happy with him- I would leave. Without fear.
At least the current man "only" cyber-cheated.
"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
I'm in MC and IC and feel like slowly disengaging from the R process. DD was mid March, dx of SA was about 6 weeks ago. I've been biding my time. I do see improvement in SAWH and I KNOW it takes time but at what cost? What no one (except me) seems to acknowledge is that I was ready to leave when I discovered the affair. Poor SAWH doesn't want to break up the family, but also doesn't seem to want to make the effort to put into a relationship with me and despite being told this time and time again by our MC that this is what is needed. So here I sit...waiting for what I don't know.
I was recently on a trip with friends - gone for 5 days - and I did not really miss H and I honestly don't think he missed me. So WTF are we clawing our way back towards? I keep waiting for a gesture from him or a sign of some sort.

Anacortes Travel Tips
Enjoy Prime Anacortes Lodging
Anacortes, a city of over 15,000, is in Skagit County Washington on Fidalgo Island. Anacortes is known for being a dock for the state ferries and terminal, as well as for its natural beauty. Surrounded by the San Juan Islands and the Puget Sound, Anacortes is in the Olympic Mountain rain shadow. This means that the weather is milder than other parts of the Pacific Northwest, experiencing only about half as much rain as Seattle. Anacortes is considered a popular place to visit for boating and enjoying the San Juan Islands. Accessible by bridges from the east and south, Anacortes is only an hour and a half north of Seattle. From Anacortes cabins, it's easy to enjoy all the area has to offer.
Enjoying Beautiful Anacortes
The northwestern end of the island features Washington Park, a popular place for boating, camping, and scenic views of the San Juan Islands and Cypress Island. Washington Park also offers hiking, picnic areas and breathtaking views close to Anacortes cabins. Popular activities near Anacortes lodging include kayaking, boating, whale watching, golf, shopping, and hiking. Deception Pass State Park in Rosario Beach is a good place for beginner or intermediate divers. Pass Lake is considered a fisher's heaven. Campbell Lake also has fishing, as well as summertime swimming, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and inner tubing. To view marine life, try the Padilla Bay National Estuary Reserve.
Embark on Northwest Adventure
There is so much to experience in Washington and Canada from Northwest Washington State vacation rentals. Anacortes is an ideal place from which to stage the rest of your Pacific Northwest adventure. Seattle is easily accessible to the south, or take the Washington State ferry to the San Juan Islands or up to British Columbia, Canada. For instance, the Skagit River is a paradise for kayakers and bird watchers, and easily accessible from Anacortes lodging.

Dr. Canon's last full-time position was that of president of Warren Wilson College from 1988-1991. During his short tenure here, he was known and loved for his amiable, accessible, and unpretentious manner. He truly enjoyed being around the students and knew almost everyone on a first-name basis. After he retired from the presidency of the College, he remained on the staff as director of church relations until his death in 1994. Earnings from this fund are to go to a deserving student with demonstrated financial need.

Cutest boy I know
too cute @ 4 months
Best GIRL ever!
I received my Warby Parker box yesterday! I think these are my favorite :)
good/better/best..never let it rest..til your good is better and your better best!
I have been
cursed blessed with wearing glasses since I was in the 4th grade…I have had some horrendous styles and then some great ones too. I am currently more so a contact wearing girl but I am due for an eye exam and I wanted to try out Warby Parker…have you heard of them? If not, you are SERIOUSLY missing out!
In case you are not familiar with this awesomeness, Warby Parker offers a super fabulous collection of glasses at a stunning $95/pair. That includes prescription lenses. They are quite the philanthropic company since for every pair of glasses sold, they provide another pair to someone in need.
I love the fact that they offer designer quality glasses for a fraction of the price - reason being is that they cut out the middle man!
Since everything is online they send you 5 pairs of glasses for FREE to try - they call it, home try on - what an amazing concept.
Once I get them I plan on taking photos and sharing to see what pair works best for me :)
Everyday should be!

Here we go with this week's take on the latest Mad Men from the Feministing crew. This episode was pretty wild and got seriously intense. Let's jump in and get discussing.
As always, tons of spoilers follow.
I absolutely loved this episode. Coming off 4/20 I thought it was perfectly done. Peggy's temper tantrum in the Heinz meeting made me cringe, first because I'm generally rooting for her but I felt that she came off as such a petulant sore loser in this scene, and then because I realized how much more willing I had been to accept such behavior from Don's character than Peggy's. #internalizedsexism -Lori
Peggy's acting out–and with good reason. She works her butt off, she's frustrated and she continues to feel powerless–while men can be as aggressive as she was in the meeting. It's true, she went off the deep-end but the reaction was frustrating, from the Heinz guy threatening her, to Pete Campbell's smug, "you're off the business," to Bert Cooper. Add to this her social justice darling boyfriend having a "normie" moment of being threatened by her work and her movie-going, weed-smoking, hand-job adventure makes sense. It was partially in theme with the show this week about "going away," escape and fantasy as opposed to reality, but I also think there was some element of her wanting to feel powerful. -Samhita
The handjob scene also showed that Peggy DOES get off on pleasing others, as long as it's on her terms. "Just watch the movie," she coos when her anonymous smoking buddy tries to kiss her. In this scene, we learn that it's not that Peggy doesn't have the "man-pleasing" instincts that the men in her life are always telling her are so important. It's just that she resents (and rightly so) the double standard that means she's expected to have that as her default personality trait, even in a professional setting. -Lori
So let me get this right – Peggy prioritizes work over her relationship, she's passionate and forceful in meetings, she's empowered by cheating, but leans on her partner for support – and she's a "little girl?" Sounds to me like she'd be one of the guys, except sexism. -Jos
Yeah, what I thought was striking about Peggy's reaction in the meeting is that Don has totally done that shit too. I wish someone (Orange Couch?) would go back and splice together some of those scenes–where Don takes a risk in a meeting with a difficult client, dishes up some real talk that everyone's worried is too much for a second, but then the client is totally won over by his manly, authoritative confidence. But those are the kinds of risks Peggy can't afford to take. -Maya
Michael Ginsburg is an alien
I had a feeling by the way that Ginsberg reacted to the pictures of the Nurse killings that it was a reference to the atrocities of the holocaust, since there were so many people at that point who had survived the holocaust and it was a memory very much alive in the 60s. You get a sense of the fantasy that Michael is living in, when he tells Peggy he is a martian–because, how do you ever believe, understand or accept that you were born in a concentration camp? We also see, that similar to Don, Michael's origin story is a mystery, so maybe Michael is the next Don. -Samhita
Your life beginning in a space of death. In a space meant for the annihilation of all people like you. I can't even imagine. That one scene said so much about what's been going on below the surface with Ginsburg. You can just feel how much Matt Weiner's wanted to address Jewish identity on the show. I'm so tired of sentimental treatments of this very real issue, so it's pretty powerful to see something so human. -Jos
Roger and Jane
"She wants to stand alone in the truth with you." This was a side of Roger and Jane I was not expecting to see–as Marc mentioned on the Orange Couch–someone was going to do LSD at some point on the show, but I don't think any of us were expecting it to be Roger and Jane. I found this to be incredibly peaceful and charming, realistic and despite LSD being a "trip," like many proponents of exploratory, psychological or medical consumption of drugs, it actually brought them closer together. They experienced the trip differently, since at the end, Jane didn't realize this was them splitting up, but Roger's navigation of the trip shows he has some kind of resilience and sense of humor about life, I don't think it was clear he might have. -Samhita
I love that it was Roger and Jane who tripped – LSD wasn't always countercultural, it used to be popular in "high society" (Clare Booth Luce was a fan!). It's basically impossible to depict an acid trip on film (Easy Rider is the gold standard), but I thought the show did a great job of communicating the overall experience. I was really glad to see it framed as positive, uplifting, and productive, which is frankly much more accurate to a trip entered in the right mind set than the depictions of bad trips we usually see. Roger and Jane had one moment of being on the same page – and then they weren't, which is pretty great evidence that they don't belong together. LSD can do a great job at clarifying relationships. And a re-energized Roger talking about it being a beautiful day when he's in the afterglow of the trip? Awesome. So accurate.
Also, it's so great to see Faye Miller happy. Thanks for throwing us that one, Mad Men. Apparently the actor just looked a lot like Faye. And I was so excited! -Jos
Don and Megan
That chase scene was so intense! I had such a moment of dread for Megan when Don was kicking the door down. -Lori
Their relationship is a toxic, violent, all consuming love. Megan, repeatedly silenced and increasingly frustrated, releases Don's "dark passenger" by invoking his mother–which of course, made Don run away like a child, but then come back and look for Megan all night long. Megan is working more than we realized to keep Don happy–but it is clear that all his control freak tendencies are not a turn-on for her, she feels truly trapped by them. And Bert Cooper puts Don in his place which is the moment it becomes clear that Don went from being the wiz kid, to the old man chasing a young lady and essentially falling off his game. -Samhita
I think our cultural idea of "provocation" is incredibly gendered. Which is why it's possible to read Megan as provoking Don after he's silenced and provoked her the whole episode. I saw her comment about his mother as a quick and fairly unintentional bit of lashing back. And, obviously, even though it hit a nerve with Don, in no way was her comment responsible for the physical abuse that followed.
I totally agree Don's the child in this episode, way more than Peggy. He demands that the world revolves around him, refuses to hear it when Megan asks for something else, and then throws a series of temper tantrums when she actually stands up for herself. Of course, he's a grown man, so his tantrums aren't just yelling at the sky – they're abuse. I'm glad the show went all the way to make this clear.
I couldn't stop thinking about Betty when Don and Megan were fighting in Howard Johnson's. Megan and Betty are very different people in a lot of ways, but it's getting easier and easier to see the role Don's behavior played in shaping Betty into the character we met back in season 1. He treats his wives as objects of desire, there to please him, make him happy and make him look good and validate him and maybe be his mommy too. He sure as hell doesn't treat them as people. -Jos
Totally agree with Jos. I especially loved when Megan was gobbling down the ice cream. It's such a perfect illustration of that toxic dynamic. He treats her like she's an object he can order around; she understandably acts out like a child. -Maya

I had a whole rant plotted out in my mind, but when my fingers hit the keyboard I decided against it. Perhaps I'm mellowing in my antiquity. I hope not, as being not-mellow is how I make my living. Maybe it's because I'm going to this weekend's Baltimore Comic Con, always a wonderful event, and I'm awash in breathless anticipation.
Well, either way, I've got a deadline and ComicMix's editor-in-chief is an asshole (not to be confused with this column's editor, Adriane Nash, who is not an asshole) and I've got all these Sin City thoughts attacking my brain like anti-bodies at a clown orgy and I'm willing to share. Let's see how long it takes for me to become non-mellow.

Top 10 Ryan Lambie 4 Apr 2014 - 06:26
From Francis Ford Coppola to George Miller, we take a look at 10 directors who made belated returns to the franchises they created...
There's nothing new about directors returning to the stories and characters they first brought to the screen years before. Director Fritz Lang directed his first film featuring the mesmeric master of disguises Doctor Mabuse in 1922; he then returned to make The Testament Of Dr Mabuse in 1933, before heading back one final time for The Thousand Eyes Of Dr Mabuse in 1960 - the director's last film.
In recent years, however, it's become increasingly common for directors to return to the film series they began years earlier. It's an attempt, perhaps, to return to themes that still interest them, or to tell a new story in the same landscape as before, or maybe because of a Hollywood deal too lucrative to turn down. As the selection below proves, »

Luke Owen remembers Harold Ramis...
You only have to listen to the Tinsel Town Stiffs section of Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman's Hollywood Babble On to know that not a week goes by where the entertainment industry doesn't lose one of its stars. This year alone we have seen tragic loses in James Avery and Philip Seymour Hoffman and yesterday we lost one of the true greats in comedy of the last few decades. On February 24th 2014, Harold Ramis passed away at the age of 69. We lost one entertainment's brightest stars.
When you look back at the great comedies of the 1980s, Ramis' name crops up again and again. Caddyshack. Groundhog Day. National Lampoon's Vacation. Stripes. The list goes on. Whether he worked on the project as a writer, actor or director, his legacy of work is hard to deny as anything other than stellar. You never really appreciate »

File this under, to paraphrase the great band C&C Music Factory, things that make you go awwwww: an Essen, Germany nursing home restaged classic moments from a variety of movies (everything from "Easy Rider" to "Titanic"), with their residents posing as famous actors in those scenes. If your heart isn't warming already, then you're probably a robot or some kind of gargoyle brought to life via black magic.
The residents of the Contilia Retirement Group, who range in age from 75 to 98, spoke to Der Spiegel magazine about the photo shoot (via Gawker), and described it as "tremendously fun." They probably also would have described whoever edited the photos as "marginally proficient in Photoshop."
Why are you still reading this? Just take a look at the photos, which also include nods to "Rocky," "The Blue Brothers" (what, no love for "Blues Brothers 2000?"), "Mary Popppins" and "Cabaret" (amongst others). It's »

It's possible. Not all sore throats turn out to be tonsillitis, but tonsillitis is very common in childhood — and your child's symptoms are typical.
Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, the almond-shaped lymph nodes that hang down at both sides of the back of the throat. The tonsils filter out germs in the throat, but when a virus or bacteria is too strong, it can cause the tonsils to swell.
Besides difficulty swallowing and a refusal to eat, signs that your child may have tonsillitis include:
Many other throat infections can cause similar symptoms, though, so your child's doctor will need to examine your child to make a diagnosis.
First, she'll look into your child's mouth and check to see whether the tonsils are red and inflamed. She'll also look to see whether there are white patches or pus on the tonsils.
Then she'll probably feel under your child's jaw and on his neck to see whether the lymph glands there are swollen as well, which is another indication of tonsillitis. Like the tonsils, the lymph glands are part of the body's immune system and they can become inflamed when an infection is present.
Depending on your child's symptoms and what the doctor sees during her exam, she may take a throat culture to rule out strep throat, since the strep bacteria are a common cause of tonsillitis. The doctor may have preliminary results in just minutes, but she might send the culture to a lab for testing. Those results will probably take a day or two.
If your child has strep, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. In fact, if the doctor suspects strep but the test results aren't available yet, she may start your child on antibiotics, just to get a jump on healing him as soon as possible. (A strep infection that goes untreated for more than a week can lead to rheumatic fever, which can cause heart problems.)
It's important that your child complete the course of antibiotics (usually over a ten-day period), even if he feels better in a day or so. If he stops taking them too soon, the bacteria may not be completely wiped out and could come back even stronger. Of course, antibiotics won't help if your child's infection is caused by a virus.
Whether the infection is bacterial or viral, you'll want to keep your child home until he's feeling much better (and has been on the antibiotic, if prescribed, for 24 hours), both for his benefit and the benefit of others who could easily catch the infection from him.
You'll want to make sure that he gets as much rest as possible, then do what you can to make him feel better. Some things to try:
Tonsillitis is very common and usually no cause for worry. You'll need to address it, though, by making sure your child gets lots of rest and fluids — and by having him take antibiotics if it's caused by bacteria.
Tonsillitis can progress to form an abscess — a collection of pus between the tonsils and the surrounding tissue that can cause severe swelling. Rarely, the infection will spread to the bloodstream, neck, or chest.
The other danger is that, because it's hard for your child to swallow, he will have a hard time getting enough fluids and may become dehydrated. So keep pushing the liquids, even in small sips, and watch for signs of dehydration.
Probably not. While tonsillectomies were commonly performed years ago, doctors now recognize that the tonsils play a role in filtering harmful bacteria and viruses, so they suggest removing them only when they're a chronic problem.
Surgery is usually recommended for a child who has:
In addition, if your child's swollen tonsils are accompanied by swollen adenoids, he could develop a condition called sleep apnea, which interrupts his breathing for seconds at a time while he's asleep.
If the doctor thinks that your child needs to have his tonsils and perhaps adenoids removed, she'll refer you to an otolaryngologist to discuss the surgery.
Tonsillectomies are usually done on an outpatient basis, which means that your child will need to stay for only two to four hours after the surgery rather than overnight. There are some exceptions, like if your child isn't drinking well after the surgery or has any chronic health problems that need monitoring.
Your child won't be allowed to eat or drink anything (even water) for about 12 hours before the operation. That's because if there's anything in his stomach, he may vomit it up under anesthesia, which could be dangerous.
There will be nurses to take care of your child before and after the surgery, an anesthesiologist who will talk to you about the general anesthesia that will be administered in the operating room before surgery, and the surgeon.
The surgeon will remove the tonsils — and the adenoids if necessary — through your child's mouth, without making any cuts in his skin. The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Your child will probably be given intravenous fluids during and after the operation. He'll then be taken to the recovery room, where the nurses will monitor him until he's awake and doing well enough to head home (or to his hospital room).
Your child will probably be miserable. His throat will hurt something awful, and his ears may hurt as well.
The doctor may prescribe pain medication or suggest that you give your preschooler the correct dose of children's acetaminophen as needed. (Most doctors don't recommend ibuprofen after a tonsillectomy, since it raises the potential for bleeding at the surgery site.) Again, don't ever give aspirin to a child, since it can make him susceptible to Reye's syndrome.
You'll also be instructed to make sure that your child rests and drinks plenty of liquids. You'll probably need to keep him home from school for five to seven days and away from rough and tumble play for about a week.
Your child may feel better in a few days, but his full recovery may take a week or even two. During this time, make a special effort to keep him away from others who may be ill because he'll be more susceptible to infection for a while.
You'll also need to watch for any of the following signs of complications:
Call the doctor if your child has any of these symptoms. If she's unavailable, call the emergency department.
For the first 24 hours after your child's surgery, you'll be instructed to feed him clear liquids, like warm broth, water, apple juice, ice pops, and gelatin. Don't give your child carbonated beverages or acidic juices, like orange or tomato, which will sting his throat.
A soft diet is recommended after the first 24 hours. This is when ice cream comes in handy. Other good choices include cream of wheat, mashed potatoes, pasta with butter, pudding, warm soup, yogurt, scrambled eggs, applesauce, custard, and gelatin.
On about the fourth day your child can begin to eat normally, though for about two weeks after surgery you may want to avoid scratchy foods like chips and raw vegetables, because this is the time when the risk for bleeding is greatest.
Keep in mind that the more your child drinks and eats, the better hydrated he'll stay and the sooner he'll begin to feel better. If your child goes on strike and refuses to eat or drink anything because his throat hurts too much, give him pain relievers and coax him to sip liquids to avoid dehydration.
A cool-mist humidifier in your child's room may make it easier for him to breathe. Just make sure you clean the filter according to the manufacturer's directions.
If your child is susceptible to sore throats, keeping him healthy can seem like a constant battle, especially with siblings and once he goes to school. Frequent hand washing (his and yours) and not sharing eating or drinking utensils with others can put a significant dent in the number of infections your child gets. You can urge his school to stress good hygiene as well.
And boosting your child's immunity as best you can — by feeding him a healthful diet and making sure that he gets plenty of fresh air, exercise, and rest — is always a good idea.

Subject: RE: SECURITY.NNOV: Netscape 4.7x Messanger user information retrival
Doesn't security by obscurity have some value?
Quite the opposite when it misleads people into a false sense of security.
I'm trying to avoid a flamewar by repeating: obscurity is not a good
security policy. It is often useful to treat it as completely
valueless. I'm simply suggesting that it's not valueless in all
cases, and we understand unnecessary information disclosure to
represent a security problem, instead of dismissing it.
It's only of value when its full implicatoins are understood completely
by those using it.
Sometimes the best place to hide something *is* in plain view, but if
you don't know that's what you're actually doing then you may not have
hidden it properly at all.
