1. Plaza de Mayo
The plaza has been here since the 16th century. At the eastern end is the Casa Rosada, the Presidential Palace. From the main balcony several Argentinean politics address the populace (the Peron's for example)
It is here where numerous gatherings and political protests have taken place, including the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, a regular assembly of mothers protesting the loss of loved ones called Desaparecidos (the disappeared ones, during the Dirty War, a bleak moment in Argentina's history.
Opposite the Casa Rosada on the Plaza de Mayo is the resplendent former Spanish town hall, the Cabildo, a fascinating old colonial building fronted by arches that once encircled the plaza, back during the May Revolution in 1810. The guards outside the building are members of the revered Regimiento de Patricios which was formed in 1806. They still wear their traditional uniforms, designed nearly 200 years ago.
2. Recoleta // La Recoleta Cemetery
This is one of the most fashionable districts in Buenos Aries. It is the site of the Iglesia de Nuestra senora de Pilar, a colonial church that is a national monument. It has several very attractive open spaces and public gardens, including the Plaza Francia where the city's craft fair takes place on a Sunday.
The Cementerio de la Recoleta sounds an unlikely place for a spot of sightseeing but it is, in fact, one of the city's main tourist attractions. The necropolis is a city within a city, with numerous huge monuments fashioned in white marble, dark granite, and lustrous bronze, decorated with numerous stone angels and statues of the Virgin. The great and the good of Argentina's past lie here, including Evita Peron, who always attracts a big crowd. A number of past presidents, sports stars and writers were also laid to rest here.
Do lose yourselves in the serene atmosphere and sense of great history.
3. Mataderos
Its located approximate 6km southwest of Caballito. This barrio takes its name from the slaughterhouses, which used to be here. They went a long time ago but Mataderos is still home to a livestock market. You will find here one of Buenos Aires' most incredible events: the Feria de Mataderos which takes place on Sundays.
This is a celebration of the country's rural traditions, folk music, traditional crafts and regional food specialities are served and local dances are performed. The highpoint of the day is the display of gaucho skill in which riders participate in exciting traditional events.
4. Teatro Colon
This extravagant seven stories Opera House has impressed visitors since it was opened in 1908. A small museum is situated in the lobby and guided tours are available in English. The tours go through the basement workshops, rehearsal rooms, stage and seating areas.
It's a wonderful place to watch opera and ballet and listen to classical music
5. Cafe Tortoni
Do have a coffee at the famous Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires. Cafes are a way of life in B.A., but Tortoni is perhaps the most famous cafe in all of Argentina, patronized by celebrities since 1858. It is used as a set in many movies, showing an important part of the Buenos Aires history.
6. Palermo
The open spaces of this barrio, a legacy of caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas who was overthrown in 1852, made possible the Jardín Botánico. Here you can also visit the Buenos Aires Zoo, the Rosedal, the Hippodrome and the Planetarium.
7. La Boca
This working class area originally populated by Italian dock workers has bloomed into a colourful centre of art, restaurants and the colourful metal houses which present a refreshing change from the rest of the city. The colours come from the brightly painted houses on the Caminito a pedestrian walk named for the tango of the same name and the waters of the Riachuelo stained by oil sludge's. The tradition began when the hose owners didn't have enough money to buy painting for their houses. They receive donations, and of course it was hard to find a lot of paint in the same colour. The years went by and it became a tradition to use different colours. If you want to see some beautiful sights of the life in the docks visit the Art museum of Bellas Artes in La Boca where you can see the work of Benito Quinquela Martín.
8. San Telmo /San Telmo flea market
This section of the city retains some of the colonial flavour of past years and is steeped in the city's history. It was a fashionable district for years until a yellow fever epidemic drove the inhabitants north into what is now the Recoleta, and the lower classes and immigrants moved in. It has narrow streets, low buildings, antique shops and the famed Sunday antique market in the main square of the barrio. San Telmo's tango bars are an excellent place to learn and dance the tango.
Do learn to dance the tango, or at least watch others dance it. One of the best spots for admiring tango couples, or for receiving an impromptu lesson, is at the San Telmo flea market on Sundays in Buenos Aires.
9. Puerto Madero
By day, this riverfront area is a booming business and shopping district and by night, a hip neighbourhood with pricey restaurants and fashionable clubs. Wooden ferries will take you further into the tree-lined delta.
10. Obelisco
The Obelisk, Buenos Aires' famed monument is on the widest street in the world, the Avenida 9 de Julio, where among the frantic traffic, you'll get great photos, particularly at night if you're visiting restaurants and nightclubs in the area.

President Wolfman
There isn't an original frame of film in the entire movie because President Wolfman is created entirely out of recycled stock and public domain film footage culled from more than one hundred grainy government instructional shorts, classroom education movies, vintage stag reels and features that have fallen out of copyright. So don't worry if the continuity is off, or if the characters suddenly get played by different actors or if the dialogue doesn't exactly match the mouths of the people saying it. Just sit back, relax and enjoy what writer/director Mike Davis has created from the scraps he collected – a fun horror/comedy about the Leader of the Free World an his penchant for becoming very hairy, and rather violent, when the moon is full. Dean Stockwell is very entertaining as the president, especially since he never really made the movie he's in.

The Forbidden Girl
Despite the warnings of his evangelical pastor father, a young man falls in love with a girl. On the night they are to consummate their passion, a demon shows up and steals the girl away. Of course, nobody believes the boy when he explains what happened, so he's sent to an insane asylum. Years later, he's released, gets a job as a tutor at a spooky old house and discovers that the girl he lost is alive and not too well. While the story gets a bit too complicated for its own good at times, director Till Hastreiter (The Breeder) has such a strong visual style that you don't care. Peter Gadiot gives a good performance as the young love struck man, Toby, and Jytte-Merle Böhrnsen is absolutely captivating as the Forbidden Girl – you completely understand why the boy goes through all he does for her. The best thing in the movie, though, may be the work of Klaus Tange as Mortimer, the spooky blonde henchman who lives to protect the forbidden girl from guys like Toby.

Young Justice: Season 1
It sounds like a bad idea, a series starring the sidekicks of the better known DC superheroes, but the show itself is a lot of fun and certainly well done enough to stand on its own. It starts with the team trying to join the original Justice League, only to discover that Batman, Superman and the others don't really think they are ready to solve crimes and save the world on their own. So the first few episodes are all about the Young Justice team proving them wrong, which is entertaining but not nearly as much fun as when the show settles down into its own groove and the young heroes start taking on personalities of their own. The snappy banter between them especially Kid Flash and Robin, is a lot of fun, and the voice work is top shelf, too, especially Danica McKellar as M'gann M'orzz and Nolan North as Connor Kent.

14 War Stories
Using the diaries, letters, postcards and telegrams of the people who actually lived through the war, this fascinating film, directed by Jan Peter, does a brilliant job of personalizing the conflict on both sides of the battle lines. While the stories of the men who actually fought in the war are interesting, it is the stories of the non-combatants – the women and children left behind whose battle, though not always as bloody or deadly as a soldiers'-- was just as devastating. The blend of archival footage and historical reenactments is smooth enough to be convincing, which is key to keeping the audience enthralled as the stories move along. And the bonus feature, combining interviews with the filmmakers and some terrific behind-the-scenes footage, only deepens the experience of watching these stories unfold.

37 Days: The Road to World War I
If you ask any with a modicum of historical knowledge how World War I started, they will tell you it all began with the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Maybe if they are showing off, they can tell you it happened in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. And if it's a Final Jeopardy question about who pulled the trigger, those who have done their homework will say, Who is Gavrilo Princip? But is that really all it took to send the entire world spiraling off to war? Not according to his film from director Justin Hardy which takes you behind the scenes to get a better understanding on how the many little decisions that lead up to the launching of total war were made by the people in power. It's hard to keep your jaw from dropping as you listen to top British officials calmly talk about what they stand to gain if they decide to get involved, while the German officials in the film practically foam at the mouth for a chance to try out their new weapons on human targets. It took a little over a month for these talking heads to turn a single shot into the cause they were looking for, and it's a countdown the world would come to regret.

My Boy Jack
For those who enjoy a more straightforward dramatic approach to their war movies, this drama from director Brian Kirk fits the bill nicely. It's the story of writer Rudyard Kipling (David Haig, who wrote the screenplay based on his original play) and his struggle to get his nearsighted son Jack (Daniel Radcliffe) a place in the army at the outset of WWI. The patriotic fever that forces him to risk his son's life causes immeasurable harm to Kipling's private life, as he must battle his wife and daughter (played by Kim Cattrall and Carey Mulligan) and defend the choice to send his child off to war, a choice even he eventually realizes will break his heart. The story is strong and the film is well-shot, but it is the terrific acting that makes My Boy Jack so compelling. Cattrall, best known for her comic sexual romps playing Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, is fascinating playing Kipling's American wife, as is the ethereal Mulligan as his daughter. Radcliffe is outstanding as Jack, showing us the journey a young man takes from the Huzzah! rowdiness of camaraderie before a shot is fired to the shocking reality of war fought in the trenches in a completely compelling and original way. Topping the wonderful cast is, of course, Haig as Kipling, in a powerhouse performance that captures the heart and soul of a people as they launch themselves into war.

Rosemary's Baby
Zoe Saldan stars as Rosemary Woodhouse in this terrific version of the tale of a young woman who is unwittingly made a bargaining chip in a pact with the devil himself. In exchange for bringing her struggling writer husband Guy (Patrick J. Adams) fortune and fame, Rosemary will serve as the vessel for Satan's child. Even though it is spread out over four parts (and close to three hours), the TV mini-series maintains a constant state of tension as we follow Rosemary through her pregnancy. As the neighbors who broker the deal, Carole Bouquet and Jason Isaacs are the perfect blend of charming and chilling which is the key to making Rosemary's seduction believable. As the husband, Adams is far less effective, giving a rather wooden performance that is never convincing, either as a loving husband in the beginning or as the evil jerk who pimps out his wife to Satan. The best thing about the show, though, is Saldana's performance, particularly towards the end after Rosemary discovers what she is carrying inside her belly.

William Shatner's Get a Life
If you are looking for an extended version of the Saturday Night Live skit where Shatner tells the people at a Star Trek convention to 'get a life,' then you need to look someplace else. This strangely moving documentary follows Shatner as he tries to honestly understand why people so deeply love the TV series he starred in. At times, his quest takes him down some roads that are definitely better less traveled, like the time he spends sitting with someone from the Joseph Campbell School of Mythology (or something like that) and tries to make a case for Star Trek being today's equivalent of the myths of the Greek gods. The time he spends simply interviewing the fans, though, are honest and heartfelt. You come away from the film with a better understanding behind their devotion, which is what it is all about.

If the idea of watching a documentary about boredom…well, bores you, then director Albert Nerenberg (Laughology, Stupidity) has the answer in the bonus material – an accelerated version of the film which is 13 minutes shorter than the feature but has all the same material (it just plays a wee bit faster). Either way, the end result of watching is a fascinating glimpse into what boredom really is, how and why we become bored, why boredom can so easily turn to violence, and, best of all, what we can do to keep from being bored in the first place. The film also makes a great case for making changes in the American education system and taking boredom out of the classroom, changes that are as simple as letting the children get up from their desks every once in awhile and letting them be children. Nerenberg has carved a career for himself making interesting and exciting films about the seemingly most inane subjects, and it's a career worth following.

Low Winter Sun
It starts with the brutal murder of a cop, a murder committed by two of his fellow officers, and then slowly spirals into one of the most fascinating procedural shows of the past 20 years. The fact that it is set in Detroit, a city as corrupt and decaying as the morals of the characters, makes for the perfect background. British actor Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes) is brilliant as the detective assigned to solve the murder, an ironic twist of the take since we know he was one of the detectives involved in the homicide. Lennie James (Columbiana) is equally effective as the other cop with blood on his hands; watching him squirm s his partner investigates the case is one of the thrilling delight of the series.

Sex Pistols – The TV Tapes
Today, the music made by these British punks, music that shook the rock world to its core, sounds almost quaint, certainly not offensive at all. As this fascinating documentary reminds us, though, The Sex Pistols were once the antitheist of virtually everything the music industry – and the average music fan -- stood for. The film is a collage of TV interviews the band did over their few short years of fame, giving us an almost undiluted view of what they were like and what the world thought of them. When an interviewer asks lead singer Johnny Rotten who he admires as a singer his one word answer – nobody – still sounds like the first shot of a war against everything. The movie and the members of The Sex Pistols are a great reminder to the young music fans of today that punk isn't something you buy off the shelves of the Hot Topic store in the local mall. It's an attitude that could – and almost did – change the world.

Bitten: The Complete First season
Werewolves, vampires, witches and other assorted creatures have become the staple of teen TV dramas over the past couple of years, to the point where the creatures, not to mention the actors who play them and the stories being told, feel interchangeable. Maybe that's why this Canadian series feels so fresh --- it's not the old supernatural song and dance you've seen before. Or maybe it's the better than expected special effects that make the transformation scenes look entertaining, if not always believable. Ok, maybe it's just the idea of watching lead actress Laura Vandervoort week after week that's got us hooked, but hooked we are on this story of a young woman/wolf (Vandervoort) trying to make a life for herself outside the family pack. You will be too.

Top Gear 21
In the first episode, the three gear heads who host the show – Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May – gleefully try to show that the compact cars of their youth can be as exciting as the high performance cars they usually drive on the show by racing them through the aisles of a grocery store. In the next episode, they pay a heartfelt tribute to the British soldiers who gave their lives fighting in Afghanistan by showing how the army has improved their vehicles to make them safer over the course of the war. Those two episodes alone show why Top Gear has been on TV in England, America and around the world for so long: It's a brilliant mix of hilarity and honest emotion. Sure, it's hard to understand them when they start to talk too geeky about cars, but you can cut them some slack, especially when you see the joy on their faces when they get behind the wheel. As always, the guests stars taking a spin in their reasonably priced car is a who's who list of showbiz celebrities, ranging from actor Tom Hiddleston (Thor) to musician James Blunt. They look as happy as the three hosts, living a dream of driving fast around a track.

Bicycling With Moliere
Fabrice Luchini and Lambert Wilson star in this delightful tale of two estranged actors who get together to try and stage a new production of the Moliere classic play The Misanthrope. Gauthier Valence (Wilson), the far more successful of the two thanks to his fame for playing a doctor on a popular doctor drama, wants to hire his old friend Serge Tanneur (Luchini) to play his sidekick in the production, but Serge has different ideas, even though he hasn't actually acted in decades. The two ultimately decide to swap roles during the actual run of the show, so they spend the rehearsal time they have trading lines – and criticisms – with each other. If you know the play, the film is probably a lot more satisfying since writer/director Philippe Le Guay simply assumes you know why every line the two actors read is important. If you aren't familiar with Moliere, though, you can sit back and enjoy the two actors as they verbally fence with each other about the play, art, their lives and anything else they can imagine.

Somewhere in the not-too-distant future, according to his film from Spanish director Jorge Dorado, there will be a special squad of investigators known as memory detectives who can literally enter a person's mind and witness whatever crime they committed or were a victim to. The price such an operative pays, though, can be steep as we learn when we meet a memory detective named John Washington (Mark Strong) who hasn't fully recovered from the stroke he suffered from investigating a murder case. On the brink of financial ruin, Washington takes what is supposed to be an easy case – getting a teenage girl to eat – to try and get back on his feet. The case is far more complicated than anyone (especially the audience) imagined and the memory detective is soon fighting for his sanity and his life. The story is complex, but well told, and the acting top notch, especially Strong and young Taissa Farmiga as the girl who refuses to eat.

Red Data Girl
Lovely to look at, but a bit of a drag to sit through (thanks to the show's glacial pacing), this anime from director Toshiya Shinohara is steeped in a general creepiness that makes even the dullest episodes captivating to watch. The story follows 15-year-old Izumiko Suzuhara, a shy high school student who has an extremely tough time fitting in with the modern world. It's not just the fact that she was raised at a secluded monastery and has virtually no social skills; the modern world – cell phones, computers and the like, seems to blow a fuse whenever she goes near them. Luckily, there's a young man named Miyuki Sagara, a former childhood friend, to help her make her way throughout the school day. The creepy factor cranks up as we learn that Izumiko is being groomed to become last vessel of the goddess Himegami.

The Lego Movie
Usually when a 'family' film tries to shoot for a wider audience, it either adds a bunch of 'wink-wink' jokes for the parents to enjoy (keeping fingers crossed that the kids in the audience don't get it) or it tries to deliver a message so the adults won't feel so bad about being dragged to it in the first place. The people responsible for The Lego Movie took a very different approach: they just made a movie that is truly fun to anybody of any age. In fact, it's only towards the end when the movie breaks into the real world to tack on its message that it falls flat. When it stays in the rainbow colored world of little plastic bricks, it is, as the catchy song reminds you, awesome. Watching this story of an average guy finding away to save the world will also spark your imagination in unexpected ways. You may never actually get down on the floor and try an build something with a set of Legos, but you'll walk away with a better sense of the joy Lego fans have when they do.

Ernest & Celestine
Nominated for a 2014 Best Animated Feature Film of the Year Academy Award, this delightful story from directors Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar and Benjamin Renner tells the story of an unlikely friendship that develops between a grumpy bear named Ernest and a tiny mouse named Celestine. It's based on a series of books by Gabrielle Vincent, and its true weirdness is a fantastic reminder of how children's imaginations are far more fertile than we give them credit for. A friendship between a bear and a mouse is almost 'normal' compared to the subplot of why the mice need to steal the bears' teeth in the first place. This is that rare kind of film that is so enchanting to look at that you could happily watch it with the sound off and still be entertained by the story. Of course if you did that, then you'd miss the excellent voice work of the likes of Forest Whitaker, Paul Giamatti, William H. Macy and the legendary Lauren Bacall.

Hearts and Minds
This Oscar-winning documentary from director Peter Davis literally shook the world when it first shown at the Cannes International Critics' Week in 1974, almost a full year before the fall of Saigon and the end of the war it was investigating. Some of the images in the film, like a young girl running naked down the street, her body burned with napalm, or the graphic assassination of a man shot through the head, have been with us for generations and still have the ability to shock and appall the viewer. Watching it now, though, some 40 years after its release, the experience feels a bit watered down, especially if you were of an age to see it way back when. Sure, it's still disturbing to listen to a US Army General tell people that Asian people value life less than Americans do (with the none-too-subtle subtext that it's OK to kill them), but today's audience is far more cynical. They almost expect their leaders to be corrupt, unfeeling jerks like General Westmoreland. The fact that such cynicism is a direct result of our experience in Vietnam echoes throughout your viewing.

The Ringer
A comedy starring Jackass Johnny Knoxville as a guy faking a mental handicap so he can cheat in and win the Special Olympics? Produced by the Farrelly brothers (Dumb & Dumber)? There has to be a special place in hell put aside for them for even daring to make such a movie, right? Wrong. While the story may sound outrageous, the movie itself is actually much more sweet and funny than you'd expect; it's probably the 'nicest' comedy the brothers have ever made. Knoxville gives a good performance as the guy who does the wrong thing for some very good reasons, and the cast – a mix of actors and Special Olympic athletes – do a fine job of supporting him. Katherine Heigl is the weak point in the film as the bland and blonde love interest, but her forgettableness is balanced nicely by a hilariously inappropriate appearance by Brian Cox.

This enormously entertaining Discovery Channel mini-series boasts an impressive cast, including such iconic actors as Sam Shepard and Tom Roth, but it's the performance of Abbie Cornish that steals the show. Acting against type – she's usually cast for her good looks more than her talent in lackluster fiilms like Limitless and Sucker Punch – Cornish plays Belinda Mulrooney, a tough frontier woman out to make her fortune providing for the prospectors and other wealth seekers who have risked it all for a chance to become rich in the Alaskan wilderness. It's a bold performance; the kind that makes everybody else on screen with her step up or get out of the way. Richard Madden, playing opposite of her as a young prospector/potential business partner/lover, is more than up for the challenge.

Date a Live: Complete Series
Thirty years ago, a disaster known as a spacequake obliterated the center of Eurasia without warning, leaving 150 million corpses in its wake. The cause of it all, a scantily clad babe called a Spirit from another planet. The only way to fight back (at least in this cuckoo anime)? Train a high school guy named Shido Itsuka how to seduce the Spirit so we can find out what her kind want with the planet and, more importantly, how to stop them. Part action anime and part dating sim, this series from director Keitaro Montonaga suffers from an identity crisis of not knowing just what it wants to be, often falling back on cleavage and panty shots to distract viewers whenever the story stalls or gets too unbelievable. Thankfully, things move along at such a rapid pace you don't have time to worry too much what it's all about, Just sit back, relax and watch young Shido do his thang.

Alan Partridge
When their local radio station is taken over by a big corporation, the DJs think their biggest problem is whether or not they'll keep their jobs. Then DJ Pat Farrell (Colm Meaney) decides he'd rather go out fighting, grabs a shotgun and barricades himself in the booth. It's up to his coworker, Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) to talk him out of killing hostages in the name of free radio. A bit thin on plot, this film from director Declan Lowney, best known for his work on long-running British TV shows like Father Ted and Little Britain, works for one simple reason – Coogan. He's been playing the character of Alan Partridge for almost two decades now, but he approaches this big screen adaptation without any sort of cynicism, making it as fresh and funny as when he first appeared as Partridge on The Day Today in 1994. He also plays it broad enough so people who have never heard of Alan Partridge – or even Steve Coogan – can join in the fun.

Attack on Titan
Directed by Tetsurō Araki (Death Note, High School of the Dead) this visually stunning and emotionally draining series focuses on the struggle humanity has to survive after its 100 years of peace is destroyed when the 'impregnable' stone walls they live hidden behind are shattered by giant humanoid monsters called Titans. What starts out as familiar feeling story of young people banding together to face a common enemy – like you can find in just about every generic giant robot anime – quickly becomes something else, something much more meaningful, as the story moves away from the heroics of the battles to focus on the toll each battle takes on the individual humans involved. There is plenty of back-story added to the tale, but none of it feels like filler or fluff: They all have an emotional resonance that haunts each episode of the series. Sure, you could watch it just for the cool – and bloody – fights, but there's so much more going on that you'll want to watch it again and again.

You have to give director Riccardo Paoletti credit: The guy knows how to put creepy up on the big screen. Just about every frame of his movie practically drips with tension and malevolence. Unfortunately, he's not as strong at telling the tale behind all the emotions he is creating. The film tells the story of a young girl named Jenny (Daisy Keeping) who spends her vacation from boarding school visiting her estranged dad in a small Italian village. Her efforts to get to know him there go practically unnoticed – her dad's too busy with some sort of work to pay her much attention – so Jenny explores the surrounding countryside, discovering a strange old hospital/orphanage filled with some extremely strange kids. It's a nice set-up for a horror flick, but it quickly unravels as we discover the secret behind her dad's behavior, the kids at the hospital and whatever it is that lives under the lake. The end result will confuse and disappoint you, but you will still have nightmares about the creepy trip the movie takes you on to get there.

Black Out
A guy wakes up one morning with a vicious hangover and absolutely no idea how he got to bed, what he did the night before or who the guy next to him is, how he got there or who shot the guy point blank in the face. In other words, it's the start of a very bad day for Jos Vreeswijk (Raymond Thiry), and it will only get increasingly worse as he travels around the seedier streets of Amsterdam trying to piece together what the heck happened. And, in the guiding hands of director Arne Toonen, it's a trip you won't want to miss. On the surface, Black Out, has all the markings of a classic noir thriller, only it's shot in bright colors and is filled with zany (but always believable) characters. Oh yeah…and it's laugh-out-loud funny, especially if you like your comedy served up very black.

So you must have at least 2 distinct VirtualHosts, one for http (*:80 ?), one for https (*:443 ?). My guess is that in the https one, you simply do not have the same JkMount directives. Maybe you forgot a JkMountCopy on ? Not actually seeing your httpd.conf makes this a bit of guesswork though. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Leen and Bertus the creators of the famous Reuzel Pomade started learning men's haircutting at the ripe age of 14. With their love of classic barbering and strong influences of Rock'n'Roll, Kustom Kulture and its subcultures, it was inevitable that one day Leen and Bertus would open the world renowned Schorem Haarsnijder En Barbier, The Scumbags of Rotterdam.
Schorem is a type of wordplay that tends to get a little lost in translation. In Dutch it means "scumbags" or "bad boys", but it is also past tense for "I shave him". The "Haarsnijder en Barbier" is more straight forward, meaning Haircutter and Barber in Dutch.
Schorem is an old school men-only barbershop in the heart of the working class city of Rotterdam in Holland. The shop specialises in traditional, classic and signature haircuts, as well as, hot towel straight razor shaves. Schorem is trying to preserve the vanishing craft of barbers from a lost era of time.
Since it's opening, Schorem has been frequented by Greasers, Rockers, Bikers, Psychobilly's, Inkslingers, Skateboarders, Kids, Ruffians and other fine gentleman Scumbags from every echelon of society. It's not a rare sight to see these groups lining the street outside Schorem each day waiting for the shop to open. Leen and Bertus sum up the phenomenon perfectly; "Our Clients are not just customers for the haircuts, but to be part of the thing that is happening here". With a Facebook following of over 130,000 fans and 46,000 Instagram followers, Scumbags from all over the globe are wanting a piece of this culture.
Harnessing their experience from nearly fifty years of barbering, Leen and Burtus created the what they class as the 'worlds finest Pomade'; Reuzel. Worthy of the pairs exacting standards Reuzel is taking the world by storm, the perfect compliment to the Schorem Barbers and barbershops around the world.
The Pomades
Reuzel Grease, a beeswax based, medium hold pomade with a consistency much like honey. Perfect to slick down or pomp up every classic barbershop style. Subtly spiced with peppermint, Rezuel Grease is as much about tradition as it is style. Perfect for the man who carries a comb and knows how to use it.
Reuzel Pomade, is a water based, high shine pomade with a light scent of cola. Rinsing out easily but with a hold like super glue, you can achieve almost any look with this high shine pomade. Perfect for the both the pomade aficionado and the beginner.
To become a Rezuel Pomade stockist please contact 1300 437 436.

Cartons, Pouches And Seals The Benefits Of Carded Blister Packaging Design
Blister packaging has gone through some major renovations over the past few years. With populations becoming more demanding and medical care continuing to revolutionize care and efficiency, it's only natural for carded blister packaging to take precedence.

Using Mobility For 'Live' Performance Support

We all accept that when reading business emails from colleagues whose native language is not our own, a few typos may creep in. Grammatical mistakes in emails that cross borders and linguistic divides on their way through cyberspace are hardly surprising. However, we shouldn't let our standards slip when it comes to translating business documents.
The power of poor translation
Inaccurate translation can have a major impact. In August 2016, for example, electric vehicle and energy storage company Tesla made a swift translation change to the information provided on its Chinese website. Following the first Tesla accident in Beijing, the company replaced the word "自动驾驶," which means both autopilot and self-driving, with "自动辅助驾驶," which means automatic driver assistance.
The change helped to clarify the difference between self-driving and driver-assisted cars for Chinese buyers of Tesla's vehicles. The original translation left far more room for misinterpretation, with the driver of the vehicle that crashed reporting that his understanding had been that the car's ability to drive itself meant that he could take his hands off the wheel and his attention off the road.
The less-than-accurate original translation certainly caused Tesla some reputational damage, with the incident widely reported in China, the US and elsewhere. It highlighted the need for companies to ensure that their translations are word perfect, particularly when it comes to outward facing documents such as websites, brochures and other marketing materials.
Translating business emails
But it is not just documents intended for a large audience that require careful translation. Anyone engaging in negotiations with a potential new partner, supplier or buyer overseas should also give consideration to the value of accurate translation. Emails and letters that contain room for doubt or misinterpretation during business negotiations are far from ideal and can do damage to carefully nurtured professional relationships while things that have been misconstrued are ironed out. A small amount of time and money spent on professional translation can make a big difference!
The relevance of localization
Localization is also important when it comes to business communications. Using a translator who is native to the country that you wish to communicate with can be invaluable.
Coors beer found this out when they launched a new campaign in Spanish. The company's 'Turn it loose' slogan was mistranslated into Spanish as 'Suffer from diarrhoea.' Hardly the image they were looking to use to promote their product! Consulting a local speaker would have done wonders to improve their marketing active. The same can be said of Schweppes, whose tonic water marketing drive in Italy was rather dented by its translation to 'toilet water' in Italian.
Everyday business translation
While such incidents are amusing (at least to those of us who don't work for the Coors and Schweppes PR teams), they serve as a valuable reminder of the importance of everyday business translation in reaching out appropriately to customers and business contacts in other countries.
Translation plays an important role in opening up new markets and creating new business opportunities. To put hard work into opening up new ventures and markets overseas and then use a translation company that doesn't have a reputation for accuracy seems highly counterintuitive, particularly when one considers the examples above.
Finding a decent business translation service is simple. Just remember to avoid machine translation at all costs, look for a company that offers a guarantee and don't be afraid to grill them for their credentials. After all, it's your company's reputation that is on the line!
Final thoughts
How has translation helped your business to grow and in which other ways could it be used to aid the company's development?

Presentation: Fit & Finish: The importance of presentation value to UX deliverables
Presenter: Adam Polansky - XD Strategist @ Bottle Rocket Studios
Isn't the most important UX deliverables our thoughts and observations?
In his talk, Fit & Finish, Adam makes the case that Wireframes, Personas, Journey Maps and Slide Decks are a vehicle for communicating our ideas. While these tools are important it's our visual style that provides context for our thoughts and how they are received.
Adam says we need to start asking ourselves "what is the least we can do to get our message across". Starting with lo-fi deliverables, only spend time on ideas that stick.
Adam's Approach:
Adam reminds us that style is a promise, and substance is a promise kept. Create visuals of substance.

It seems that Christianity in Iran is ruffling some feathers.
It seems that Christianity in Iran is ruffling some feathers.
Not surprising that conversions to Christianity are ruffling feathers; conversion from Islam isn't officially allowed to happen, in Iran or any other territory in the dar al-Islam.
Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. St. John Chrysostom

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

October is Here!
I just lit my Yankee Candle and opened a window to set the blogging mood. I love Fall and everything that goes along with it. I grew up, and still live in central Pennsylvania. We get four seasons around these parts and I enjoy Fall more than any other. October holds a very special place in my heart. It reminds me of jumping in leaves and sipping hot chocolate. The school year is in full swing, there's a crisp bite in the air, and the leaves are starting their colorful, whimsical descent to the Earth.Continue Reading

I have been enjoying MBT footwear for about 5 years now and am never disappointed. These shoes wear as advertised and feel great on my feet.
Reviewer: Mark Lee
The most comfortable pair of shoes I have every owned. I am about the cheapest person I know...but when it comes to my feet being comfortable...well...that is a different story. For the last couple of years I have been a fan of MBT's. But this particular shoe is simply amazing. It is so comfortable, and well constructed. The sole provides a great deal of cushion.

This sweet little thing is already one month! He is the best little guy! He has made a very smooth (for the most part) transition into our family. He is a 'good' baby: eats well, sleeps well, poops well. :) Other than myself being more tired and trying to juggle 3 kids now, life is good. I feel that #3 has been the easiest transition so far and I am so thankful! I am so happy to NOT be pregnant anymore and the sweet newborn snuggles. Our house is definitely a bit more chaotic, and I have very little time for much else than the basics, but we are happy and thankful for our gift from Jesus. Here's his 1 month pictures:
|he has dimples...I love it!!
|Ally LOVES to hold Samuel!
Here are Samuel's 1 month stats:
weight: he gained over 2 lbs this month
eating: he eats every 2-3 hours, sometimes less
sleeping: he's been consistent with going down at 9ish and sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hours for the first stretch and then about 2-3 hours for the next stretch.
He is already in 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diaper :)

Vegan Month of Food 2016 rolls on with today's prompt of "are there any traditional holiday foods you make."
As usual: zip, zilch, zero, nada, nope, none.
What's a gal to do????
The other happy vegan to the rescue! More specifically, the other happy vegan's Russian grandmother to the rescue!
Today he shared this memory with me. His grandmother's place was where family gathered, not just for holidays, but pretty much for everything. Thanksgiving was generally hosted by her as well. He told me that something she used to do was collect different colored leaves that fell from the 2 giant maple trees on the property as autumn settled in. Then, she would arrange the leaves in ovals and circles, stems in, putting large leaves in the center. She glued them all together like this, enough leaves to make enough placemats for every person who was coming to the meal. Then, she would set the (Russian) harvest table using those leaf mats for everyone. Again, this comes from the mindset that I spoke of yesterday with my own mom.... making something out of nothing.
Today while I was busy cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast service for guests, the other happy vegan was outside collecting sea grape leaves and gluing them together. He made this placemat for me, brought it upstairs and told me the story of his grandmother, so I'd have something "traditional" to share for you today, as he knew I'm running on empty.
Take a peek:
The other happy vegan speaks of his Russian grandmother probably more than anyone else, besides his mom. His Russian grandmother adored and doted on him. He was fortunate enough to have her in his life long enough to really get to know her as a person -- not just a grandmother -- before she passed on. I know he misses her terribly, and I'm very sorry I never got to meet her. Even after all these years together, I still learn new things about this part of his life, there's many traditions that the family had.
No it's not food, but neither one of us here wants to re live the carcasses of our years as non-vegans. I'm much happier picturing his grandmother collecting leaves for weeks in anticipation of making special place mats for family and friends who were gathering for harvest.
I'm thinking I'll probably keep this mat and use it on our own harvest table tomorrow, only ours will have a beautiful roast Tofurky to set upon it. Woot!

I am happy to present my first giveaway, for a product that I use daily and cannot live without: NuNaturals Stevia. My first into to Nunaturals stevia was on a blog! I didn't know much about stevia, other than once when I tried the green powder in way too big of a quantity and it overpowered me. Stevia is strong stuff. Just a little goes a long way.
Here are my favorite ways to use stevia:
- a few drops of flavored stevia (such as lemon or cherry vanilla) in seltzer water
- in my coconut oil chocolate (about a dropperful)
- in tea (5-8 drops)
- in baking along with another sweetener typically
- stick a packet in my purse for on-the-go
Using stevia is a great option for those of us with lyme, candida, autoimmune issues, or for other reasons must abstain from sugar and other sweeteners. Stevia sweetens without feeding candida or affecting blood sugar.
I have to say NuNaturals is the best stevia for newbies, because it does not have an aftertaste. This is the #1 complaint about stevia! But they figured out a way to balance it out in NuStevia.
NuStevia has generously offered 4 readers to get one bottle of each of the Lemon / Cherry Vanilla / Peppermint Flavored Stevia plus PLUS a 50 packet box of NuStevia White Stevia Powder packets.
If you can't wait, NuNaturals is offering a discount code on all orders placed on their website : www.nunaturals.com .
When you get to the checkout page, enter the DISCOUNT CODE ; BLG1213 and you will receive – 15% DISCOUNT on their ENTIRE ORDER. This discount remains EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2013 .
Online ordering customers may also receive FREE SHIPPING to the CONTINENTAL U. S. on all orders exceeding $ 35.00 after discounts.

Shutting out the Sun – Japan in demise
Mentioned at a BBQ!
Shutting out the Sun is a book on the current demise of Japan. Here is the description from the author's website – www.shuttingoutthesun.com/
- The world's second wealthiest country, Japan once seemed poised to overtake America. But its failure to recover from the economic collapse of the early 1990s was unprecedented, and today it confronts an array of disturbing social trends. Japan has the highest suicide rate and lowest birthrate of all industrialized countries and a rising incidence of untreated cases of depression. Even more troubling are the more than one million young men who shut themselves in their rooms ("hikikomori"), withdrawing from society, and the growing numbers of "parasite singles," the name given to single women who refuse to leave home, marry, or bear children.
Don Love, missionary to Japan, had been reading the book and brought it to our attention. In fact, his teenage sons had also been reading it. They will return to Japan in a few weeks and see this phenomenon up close and personal.
Interestingly, the author, Michael Sielenziger (a secular Jew), has some commendation for Christianity as the solution to some of the ills of Japanese society.

You should not use Lialda if you are allergic to mesalamine, aspirin, sulfasalazine, or salicylates (such as Nuprin Backache Caplet, Kaopectate, KneeRelief, Pamprin Cramp Formula, Pepto-Bismol, Tricosal, Trilisate, and others).
To make sure Lialda is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
a stomach condition called pyloric stenosis;
heart disease;
kidney disease;
liver disease; or
a history of blockage in your digestive tract (stomach or intestines).
It is not known whether Lialda will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Mesalamine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give this medicine to a child without medical advice.
How should I take Lialda?
Take Lialda exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Lialda delayed-release tablets should be taken with a meal.
Do not crush, break, or chew a delayed-release tablet. Swallow the tablet whole.
The enteric-coated tablet has a special coating to protect your stomach. Breaking the pill could damage this coating.
Tell your doctor if you find undissolved tablets in your stool.
Call your doctor if your ulcerative colitis symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse.
Lialda can cause unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking mesalamine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Read all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking Lialda?
Ask your doctor before using an antacid, and use only the type your doctor recommends. Some antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb mesalamine.

abnormal liver function tests.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect Lialda?
Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using, especially:
mercaptopurine; or
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) - aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others.
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with mesalamine, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

I couldn't decide which version I liked better so I'm uploading both. I'm terrible like that - I have a hard time deciding which photos I like to upload, then I try different processing and can't decide between that either. I've always been terrible at making decisions.
I'm thinking of calling her Delilah. It's been on my mind for a while. But we'll see. See, I said I'm terrible at making decisions.

Spark SpII
When you need a sleeping but don't want to be weighed down by one, what's to be done? Until now you either slowed yourself down with something inadequate or took the spartan option and suffered without. Now the Spark has changed the game completely. Neither comfort nor performance need be sacrificed!

- 90/10 Premium Goose Down

Using the warmth of 850+ loft 90/10 Premium goose down, the amazing moisture protection of ULTRA-DRY Down™, and a micro-weight 10D Nylon shell and 15D lining, we have created one of the best warmth for weight minimalist sleeping bags available.
The Spark is an ultra light bag with many possible uses. Its balance of size, weight and warmth make it an excellent summer sleeping bag, especially for weight and space conscious cycle tourers and ultra light walkers. It also works well as a liner bag, slipping inside another sleeping bag to add one or two seasons to its rating.
The Spark compresses so small, we had to re-engineer our compression-sacks to make one that reduced sufficiently. The ULTRA-DRY Down™ protection makes the Spark an impressive hard-alpine or adventure racing sleeping bag, where down has never before been a viable option, and weight is simply not tolerated.
The secrets of the Spark's warmth to weight are in the premium quality down, the 1/2 length light-gauge #3 YKK zip and high performance micro weight shell and liner fabrics.
The Spark is designed as a close-fitting mummy bag. The full hood, foot box and short zip maximise fit and warmth while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.
A draft tube is sewn over the zip to reduce 'cold spots' in the Spark II.

Here's a look at Broly's colors and avatar in Dragon Ball FighterZ
The miniature avatar of the legendary Super Saiyan will likely be very popular on Broly's release day
Earlier today, we finally got to see the Dragon Ball FighterZ Broly trailer. This gave us our first glimpse at the legendary Super Saiyan's gameplay.
Unfortunately, we still don't have a release date for this DLC fighter. We'll hopefully learn more about this sooner rather than later...
There are clearly a number of references contained within the trailer. His attacks come across as very familiar. Even his maniacal laugh is something many of us remember from his movies.
Famitsu has posted images of Broly's alternate colors and his lobby avatar. While his hair color stays a consistent greenish-yellow, the color of his clothes do change.
Six of his colors are shown in the posted images. Be sure to note the differently colored jewels that are also present.
Like many other characters that are and are not present in the current roster, Broly's avatar is a miniature version of himself. While still quite muscular, his large body isn't emphasized as much.

Last Friday, Obama insider and spokeswoman Linda Douglass called Frontiers News Editor Karen Ocamb out of the blue, telling the longtime lesbian journalist that gays need to see the "big picture" when it comes to the Rick Warren invitation.
Right: Linda Douglass
(Photo: HuffingtonPost)
Ocamb wrote about the conversation for the Huffington Post last night, and after reading the piece, you get the distinct impression that Douglass and her boss, President-elect Barack Obama, refuse to understand why gays are so upset these days. The arrogance on display is simply mind-boggling.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The only bright spot about the Warren/Obama controversy, which I've mentioned before, is that now we know where we stand with the new administration before it has even taken over the White House. As of today, Obama has told us by his actions, gays will not stand in the way of his political agenda--no matter how valid the argument.
Obama should be careful. The same Facebook/Internet base that propelled him to victory over Hillary Clinton and John McCain can easily turn against him, and they are very involved in the Post-Prop. 8 fight, organizing demonstrations and protests throughout the country.
Whatever happens, Douglass's call to Ocamb shows Obama's people are obviously concerned about some kind of backlash against their boss. But that's the problem. What gays think and feel is not in the political equation at all...it's only about Obama. On Friday, December 19, with a call to a Los Angeles journalist, the gays were officially put on notice.

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed Foreign Corrupt Practices Act books and records and internal controls charges against Fiat S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Fiat S.p.A., an Italian company, provides automobiles, trucks and commercial vehicles. CNH Global N.V., a majority-owned subsidiary of Fiat, provides agricultural and construction equipment. The Commission's complaint alleges that from 2000 through 2003, certain Fiat and CNH Global subsidiaries made approximately $4.3 million in kickback payments in connection with their sales of humanitarian goods to Iraq under the United Nations Oil for Food Program (the "Program"). The kickbacks were characterized as "after sales service fees" ("ASSFs"), but no bona fide services were performed. The Program was intended to provide humanitarian relief for the Iraqi population, which faced severe hardship under international trade sanctions. The Program required the Iraqi government to purchase humanitarian goods through a U.N. escrow account. The kickbacks paid by Fiat's and CNH Global's subsidiaries diverted funds out of the escrow account and into Iraqi-controlled accounts at banks in countries such as Jordan.
According to the Commission's Complaint:
During the Oil for Food Program, Fiat's subsidiary, IVECO S.p.A., used its IVECO Egypt office to enter into four direct contracts with Iraqi ministries in which $1,803,880 in kickbacks were made on the sales of commercial vehicles and parts. After agreeing to pay the ASSFs, IVECO Egypt increased its agent's commissions from five percent to between fifteen and twenty percent of the total U.N. contract price, which the agent funneled to Iraq as kickbacks. The agent submitted invoices for the inflated commissions, and IVECO financial documents show line items for "contract pay-back" due to the agent. IVECO and the agent secretly inflated the U.N. contracts by ten to fifteen percent. Despite the agent's invoices being held for one year and the unusually large commissions, IVECO paid the invoices. In one instance, IVECO set up a bank guarantee in the amount of the ASSF in favor of a Dubai-based firm that operated as a front company for Iraq. IVECO's bank guarantee was canceled and, instead, the agent established an identical bank guarantee to conceal IVECO's role. A line item identified as "pay-back" on IVECO documents corresponded to the amount of the agent's bank guarantee. The ASSFs were incorrectly recorded as legitimate commissions on the company's books and records.

Sessler is the only original personality from ZDTV remaining on the network, surviving the network's progression from ZDTV (1998-2001) to TechTV (2001-2004), and subsequent transition to G4. Sessler is one of only six TechTV personalities, including Morgan Webb, Sarah Lane, Kevin Rose, Chi-Lan Lieu, and Brendan Moran, to survive the massive layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV, though now he and Webb are the only two of those six hosts still on G4 today.
In addition to co-hosting X-Play, Sessler also appears semi-regularly on Attack of the Show! as a video game correspondent.
On April 1, 2005, Sessler confused many by announcing he was leaving X-Play to host a late night talk show on G4 entitled Meet the Sess. A trailer of the new show aired on X-Play, showing Sessler verbally and physically abusing his guests until they released information about upcoming video games. Despite being extremely over-the-top and obviously fake, many viewers began flooding the G4 forums asking when the show would air and if Sessler was really leaving X-Play. Sessler has since publicly announced on several occasions that the show was in fact an April Fool's Day joke. But he does have a segment called "Sessler's Soapbox" and "Adam vs. Adam" where he discusses video game politics.
In 2005, a man posing as Sessler made the web-site adamsessler.com. The man fooled several web users into believing he was Sessler by answering questions regarding Morgan Webb and his opinion of video games. G4 ordered a cease and desist of the website's identity theft of Sessler. In response, the man responsible for the web-site has removed most information relating to Sessler and converted it to a personal blog.

Halo: Reach trailer shows sights and sounds from the campaign
Microsoft's released a fresh trailer for Halo: Reach today, Bungie's latest and quite possibly last entry to the series.
Those looking for lots of shooting best look away though, this one's all about setting the tone for the more mature-looking campaign, with a snippet from Marty O'Donnell's original score backing it up.
The game's out September 14, with a shiny new 360 SKU.
