There's something about Kensington Palace that immediately conjures up the word glamorous. Perhaps it is because in recent memory, it has been the home of notable, glamorous royals such as the late Princess Margaret, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and also because of its current inhabitant, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. But what we now know of Kensington Palace is very different from what it once was. As I had the great honour to have been on the original team that developed the Garden History Tours at Kensington Palace, I learned first-hand about the history and rather more humble origins of the great royal palace – and I hope to share some of that here with you all today.
Before modern Kensington became the playground of the world's richest people, it was a sleepy verdant little village renowned for its purity of air. Royals have only inhabited the house since the late 17th-century, when William III and Mary II moved in. But the history of the land goes back farther than that. According to Kensington Palace by W.J. Loftie, a late Victorian historian, the land upon which Kensington Palace now lies was (in the 14th century) on an area called Neyt Manor, one of three manorial estates owned by the Abbey of Westminster. Indeed, archival documents and archaeological assessments from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea state there was a Neyt Manor in 1386. Whatever building was left standing is believed to have been demolished in 1602.
A Jacobean house was built in 1605 for Sir George Coppin three years after the Neyt Manor structure was razed. Following Coppin's death in 1619, it was purchased by the Finch family. Much later on, the house was named "Nottingham House" because Sir Heneage Finch was the Earl of Nottingham (since 1681).
In 1688, what is known as the "Glorious Revolution" occurred in which James II was ousted from power by his nephew/son-in-law William of Orange and James's daughter/William's wife and cousin, Mary. In 1689, William and Mary were crowned King and Queen, and they soon set out to find where to live. Why? You may well wonder, considering that they already had St. James's Palace and Whitehall Palace. But Whitehall rested in an area by the River Thames that was full of fog, smoke, and generally unpleasant air. This wreaked havoc with King William's chronic asthma and so more verdant climes were sought. They soon purchased Nottingham House from Daniel Finch, the 2nd Earl of Nottingham (who happened to be his Secretary of State), for a whopping £14,000-18,000.
After this, they hired Sir Christopher Wren to expand and modernise the Jacobean building into something bigger and more fashionable. Construction work went on between 1689-1690. Unfortunately, Mary was a bit impatient with what she perceived to be the slow progress of the building. This can probably be attributed to her desire to make a comfortable home for William. She wrote to her beloved:
"the schafolds are up, the windows must be boarded up, but as soon as it is done, your own apartment may be furnished."
Her over-eagerness to get the building works completed meant that the workman built too quickly, and so the quality of their work became a secondary consideration. Mary wrote (original spelling maintained): "This made me go often to Kinsington to hasten the worckmen, and I was so impatient to beat that place, imagining to find more ease there."
As a result of this, sadly, November 1689 saw part of the newly-built building fall down 'killing seven or eight workman' – and this tragedy also occurred during renovation work to Hampton Court Palace. Mary characteristically blamed herself for these deaths.
Her diary continues: "This I often reproved my self for and at last it pleased God to shew me the uncertainty of all things…All this much as it was the fault of the worckmen, humanly speacking, yet shewed me the hand of God plainly in it, and I was truly humbled."
The gardens were redone at this time as well, with heavily manicured box hedging – elaborately formed in the formal Baroque (modern) style which was then so popular. William and Mary spent nearly the same amount on these magnificent gardens as they did on the house! They both loved gardening and their previous homes in the Dutch Republic (The Netherlands), especially Paleis Het Loo, also had wonderfully symmetrical parterres in this elegant style. Sadly, none of their Kensington gardens exist to this day!
In 1690, the interior of the house began to be decorated with glorious woodcarvings from Baroque carver Grinling Gibbons. Visitors to Kensington Palace's State Apartments can see these for themselves, in the King's Presence Chamber and in Queen Mary's Gallery. Outside the Queen's Entrance, the monogram (entwined initials) of William and Mary is clearly visible above the doorway.
Mary died from haemorrhagic smallpox in 1694, plunging her husband into a deep grief. John Evelyn, the diarist and courtier, visited the now-sole-monarch William in 1696 at Kensington House and said of it:
"I went to the King's house at Kensington with some Ladys: The House is very noble, tho not greate; the Gallerys furnished with all the best Pictures of all the Houses, of Titian, Raphael, Correggio, Holbein, Julio Romano, Bassan, V. Dyke: Tintoret, & others, with a world of Porcelain; a pretty private Library; the Garden about it very delicious."
King William III died in 1702, leaving the throne to his sister-in-law, Anne, who became the last of the Stuarts. The famous statue of William III that faces High Street Kensington is a 20th-century addition – a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany in 1907. I hope that those who are able to visit Kensington Palace in the future will take a moment and think about this – about the time when Kensington Palace first became a royal residence.

Flights to Croatia with Qatar Airways
Croatia has steadily risen as a coveted travel destination for visitors from the European continent and further away. Travel to Croatia with Qatar Airways and discover the 'New Riviera', also often referred to as 'New Tuscany'.
Croatia's biggest attraction is its coastline, which is 6000km long and has more than 1100 offshore islands and innumerable bays and coves. You can always find a peaceful and private spot away from the crowds here. Many traditional fishing villages, and small boats ply between the islands, so there are loads of things to do along the coastline, from sailing and fishing to diving and snorkelling.
Away from the beach you'll also find a lot of colourful history in great cities like Dubrovnik, the Jewel of the Adriatic. This old, walled city is next to the islands of Korcula and Hvar, popular for picnics and sunbathing. Istria, on the northern coast of Croatia, is heavily influenced by Italian culture and is famous for its food and culture and is a real treat for gourmets and fans of all-things-Italian. The capital Zagreb is renowned for its stately Austro-Hungarian architecture, museums and art galleries, as well as its beautiful monuments.
Croatia is full of beautiful architecture, much of which was created by one man. The sculptor Ivan Mestrovic designed most of the country's town squares as well as many of its national monuments. A former student of French sculptor Rodin, he was responsible for Zagreb's Croatian History Museum, a must-see on any itinerary.
Getting around Croatia is a pretty unique experience, as much of it is done by boat between the islands. Regular car ferries operate all along the main coastal route from Bari to Dubrovnik, and there are small boats available at numerous locations. The bus service is good too, so you should have no problems seeing most of the sights when you fly to Croatia with Qatar Airways.

PropellShops necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 165 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
You guys are doing great!!! Make sure you think about the fact that we'd like to add insignias over the final design. Think about where we could place an insignia like this on your designs
We create on-demand apparel for the military. We work like CafePress or Zazzle -- we provide designs and then let customers modify them -- only we are focused on the military. Now we need edgier background designs to appeal to young, hip servicemen and women. We serve every branch of the military -- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, etc. We market through AAFES.com, directly targeting 25 million active duty, reserve and former servicemen and women.
We will award multiple winners (if entries are good), we need lots of designs.
Our audience is a largely male demographic ranging in age from 20-34, both active service members and their friends and family. They serve in every branch of the military -- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, etc. They tend to look for edgier designs that are respectful of their service but not still push the design envelope.
We are looking for a number of "all purpose" base (background) designs to place various branch and division logos on. Examples attached.
We want cool backgrounds that can then be customized with a particular insignia (you create the background, our artists will add the insignia).
The base design doesn't need to be military (but it can be) or patriotic (but it can be), but it DOES need to be hip and modern (think Affliction or UFC). Think powerful, grungy, Ed Hardy-like, hip or cool.
No limit on colors (these will be printed on full-color equipment).
We will only be printing on t-shirt front or back (not on the sides or shoulders) -- so everything should fit in a 12 inch wide by 15 inch high rectangle.
You do NOT need to provide the Army or other insignia, just the design that will surround it (as in the example). Our artists will then add the military insignia, and use these designs as templates for shirts we offer to the military.
We will choose multiple winners (if we get great submissions!). We will ultimately need a dozen or more designs (and more in the future).

Home size: 3,925 square feet
Lot size: 1.01 acres
Rooms: 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths
Year built: 1956, renovation/addition 2000
Annual taxes: $14,048
Asking price: $1,535,000
Open house: Sunday, July 31, from noon to 2 p.m.
Completely renovated in 2000, this meticulously maintained 10-room home in a prime south Weston location is move-in ready. The house features a gourmet kitchen opening to a breakfast room with a wall of windows, formal living and dining rooms with tray ceilings, a family room with two sets of French doors opening to a wraparound deck and a first-floor office. Four family bedrooms include a front-to-back master suite with a private bath and sitting area, and the finished lower level has a game room, rec room and kitchenette. Improvements include a new roof, furnace, insulation and more. The professionally landscaped yard includes a swimming pool.
A complete renovation and expansion in 2000 took the original 1950s colonial at 67 Woodchester Drive in Weston down to the studs to create a 10-room house with all the amenities expected in an elegant and comfortable family home.
Located on a scenic street in a prime south Weston neighborhood, the house is convenient to major commuter routes, shopping and to the middle and high schools. It is also a close-knit neighborhood where residents get together at an annual block party and with tree-lined streets that provide good walking with access to a pond and reservoir.
Kate Brasco of Century 21 Shawmut Properties is marketing the 3,925-square-foot house on a 1.01-acre lot at $1,535,000.
Well-maintained and move-in ready, the four-bedroom house is sunny, open and inviting with a chef's kitchen, formal living and dining rooms, and an office and a family room with doors, which open to a wraparound deck. Family bedrooms include a spacious front-to-back master suite with two walk-in closets and a spacious bath, while the finished lower level includes a game room, rec room and a kitchenette.
The wooded backyard includes an in-ground pool.
There are hardwood floors throughout the first and second floor, and a sound system on the main floor extends to the deck. Custom millwork in tray ceilings, molding and French doors adds to the charm of the house.
Many recent updates include a high-efficiency Bryant furnace and air conditioning unit, new spray foam attic insulation, a new roof, Cat 5 wiring, Wi-Fi touch-screen thermostat and fresh paint.
Painted a pale yellow with crisp white trim, the center-entrance colonial is set back on a broad lawn and surrounded by mature trees and plantings. Walkways lead to the front door and a mudroom entrance.
The front door has bullnose glass accents, a nice detail typical of the Colonial era, and opens to a compact foyer and wide entries to the living room on the right and the dining room on the left. A through hallway has recessed art lights, a nice feature that is also included over the living room fireplace mantel. The hall includes a half bath and leads to a doorway to the family room and the stairs to the lower level.
The living room has a tray ceiling, a picture window and a wood-burning fireplace with a decorative mantel and granite hearth. There's a doorway to the family room, which creates a nice floor for entertaining.
The sun-filled family room has two sets of glass doors, which open to a wraparound deck as well as a French door to the kitchen and an office.
The office, a screen porch that was converted to a sunroom during the renovation, has a bank of windows on one wall as well as a half-glass door flanked by windows, which opens to the deck.
The formal dining room is to the left of the foyer and has a tray ceiling and double French doors, which open to the kitchen, another detail that adds to the open flow of the home for entertaining and family living.
The chef's kitchen has maple cabinetry with roll-out shelves, granite counters and a center island with breakfast bar seating. The kitchen was extended by 14 feet during the renovation and includes a breakfast room with a bank of windows overlooking the level yard and a moss-covered stonewall that screens the view of the pool.
High-end appliances include a paneled Sub-Zero fridge and Gaggenau whisper-quiet dishwasher, Thermador ovens with built-in microwave and convection features, and a trash compactor. There's a large pantry closet and a French door to a small mudroom with an entry to the front walk and a door to the over-sized two-car garage that was added during the renovation and includes custom storage cabinets.
The bedrooms are on the second floor and include an enormous master bedroom and three corner family bedrooms, all with custom closet systems. One of the family bedrooms has a private bath and there's also a hall bath and laundry.
The front-to-back master bedroom was added above the garage during the renovation and is a spacious room with a vaulted ceiling and windows on three sides, including a picture window. There are his-and-her walk-in closets with windows. The master bath has plenty of space with a 7-foot double marble vanity, a Whirlpool tub with a tile surround set in a bank of windows and a tile shower.
The lower level has a tile floor game room with a door that opens to a half-flight staircase to the yard. There's also a recreation room with full windows, a half bath and a kitchenette with a granite counter with a sink and a fridge. There's also unfinished space for storage.
The house has gas heat and central air, a 200-amp electrical system, central vacuum and security systems and professional landscaping with a sprinkler system that waters both the grass and garden plantings.

Game #64: Jays at Giants pregame
Toronto (30-33) at San Francisco (29-34)
at 10:15 p.m. ET at AT&T Park
Today's lineups:
Royce Clayton, SS
Alex Rios, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Troy Glaus, 3B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Curtis Thigpen, 1B
Adam Lind, LF
Jason Phillips, C
A.J. Burnett, P
Dave Roberts, CF
*Nate Schierholtz, RF
Ryan Klesko, 1B
Barry Bonds, LF
Ray Durham, 2B
Bengie Molina, C
Pedro Feliz, 3B
Omar Vizquel, SS
Noah Lowry, P
*RF Randy Winn was a late scratch with a strained rib cage
NOTES: Toronto manager John Gibbons inserted Clayton into the leadoff spot for the first time this season. Gibbons hoped the move could possibly put more runners on base for Rios — instead of having the pitcher hit ahead of the Jays' leading home run hitter. … Gibbons said the rotation would be Roy Halladay, Shaun Marcum and Burnett for the Friday-Sunday series against the Nats in Toronto. The Jays won't require a fifth starter (Josh Towers) until Saturday, June 23. … Toronto signed 12 of its draft picks, but none from rounds 1-5.

KFarmer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 67 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
We are a merchant service company helping integrate all business management tools into one. We work directly with the salon and day spa industry through our POS Software management product helping integrate everything from appointments to a merchants credit card processing. This is where InnerCharge comes in. As an Independent Sales Organization of credit card processing services, we are beginning to branch out of the salon and day spa industry and need a strong professional card that gives the audience a look into who we are as merchant service providers. Our business model reflects the need for our consumers to grow. We know the costs of starting a business and it can be a big hurdle so we build our pricing models to reflect those early struggles. We will only grow with the growth of our customers internally. We are a tech savvy company and look to maintain a 'green' working environment and attitude.
As described in the "tell us about yourself" section, we have focused on the salon and day spa industry. As we branch outside of this market, we are exposed to all audiences that accept credit cards. It could range from an online store selling trinkets to a national department store chain or multi-brand auto sales center. The audience will be professional but should not be targeted to wall-street banker types and the mom and pop shops are great customers of ours.
We need a two sided business card that will be printed on plastic, to resemble a credit card, not paper stock. The corners will be rounded. We like our logo, yet InnerCharge comes across a little cartoony.
Front should be bold that will demand a second look. Money, trust, security needs to be conveyed. We are not afraid of color.
Back will have our contact info and a QR code. Maybe a black stripe across the top to resemble a credit card stripe. The left side being black and as it nears the right side, have the stripe break into particles, similar to our logo.
Likes..Color, Apple (we also do apps), Windows logo, technology and money
Dislikes...Weak, soft, gimmicky, cartoony, insurance, medical or the standard financial look and feel.
We are made up of computer programmers, hair stylists, lawyers, accountants and operations specialists. Our backgrounds cover a wide array and we look forward to what is presented. We will be soliciting additional work in the coming weeks and would love to develop a good working relationship with someone.

A group of 20 civic-minded young San Diegans don't know if they're going to change the world, but they want to give it their best shot.
They've been gathering together every other Saturday to hone their civic engagement skills through a series of lectures, discussions and exercises that organizers say prepares them to become community leaders.
The current class is the fourth offered by the San Diego Leadership Alliance class, which organizes the five-month program.
Many of its participants are already working or active in progressive-like causes, such as 25-year-old Rebekah Hook, an Arizona native who works in public policy at San Diego's Collaborative Services, Inc.
"It's a great opportunity to cultivate the skills I want to have to make on an impact on the community," she said. "I do see myself as a leader, and I want to help build a better San Diego."
Like many in her class, Hook is already accomplished. She has a graduate degree in political science from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Wash.
During her college years, she also organized student supporters of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and served in leadership roles in the school's sustainability office and LBGT club.
She's typical of the kind of people in their 20s to mid-30s that Leadership Alliance selects. It's participants are still in the formative years of their careers and civic lives, and the training is intended to serve as a catalyst for increased public involvement.
Leadership Alliance traces its roots back five years, when two like-minded San Diego activists, Evan McLaughlin and Colin Parent, launched the effort.
"Our goal from the start was to build a deeper bench of progressive," said Parent, who worked on Gov. Jerry Brown's 2010 campaign and now serves as director external affairs at the California Department of Housing and Community Development. "The purpose is to train people who have that world view."
The alliance serves as the local chapter of the nationwide New Leaders Council Institute, which sponsors similar training in cities around the country.
There are two conservative counterparts to its work, The Leadership Institute and the Republican Party's GOPAC, each groups dedicated to identifying and training the next generation of conservatives.
While neither offers the kind of the annual local training that the alliance sponsors, Tony Krvaric, chairman of the county Republican Party, said the state and local GOP look to revamp their recruitment efforts.
"They're certainly well-organized and we don't discount it," he said. "We're going to make sure we our share of similar training."
Alliance officials stress that their class slots are not reserved exclusively for progressives or registered Democrats.
Alliance co-director Johanna Schiavoni is a 2010 graduate of the class who specializes in appellate law as a partner in the firm of Jacobs & Schlesinger.
"We have people from all backgrounds," she said. "That includes some who describe themselves as conservatives."
Schianvoni, who was recently elected president of a local law club, said the training participants receive is particularly beneficial for those interested in serving on boards or commissions.
An example of that is Matt Ellis, a member of the city of San Diego's Funds Commission, which oversees about $20 million in money used to maintain civic properties such as libraries and cemeteries.
A 2011 leadership alliance graduate, Ellis says the training that features expert lecturers gave him a "bird's eye view" of the city's political fabric, including the people and issues that resonate the most.
Ellis also compares it to a "cartographer's compass when it comes to trying to advance any cause, in any capacity, in San Diego."
Causes in the form of environmentalism are what attracted 26-year-old Kayla Race to apply for the free training.
She's already spent four years working in environmental protection and public health, and wanted to take part to build on her network of like-minded people working in public policy.
Listening to one of the first lecturers this year, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, talk about his involvement with the Freedom Riders fighting segregation in the South in the 1960s was particularly inspiring, she said.
"It's a pretty powerful story of how he became involved in the social justice movement," Race said.
She said her classmates are a diverse groups who don't march in lock step when it comes to political views.
"But it is a group that has a lot of common values," she said. "It's nonpartisan, but we are trying to stick to a vision of San Diego as a health, functioning society with diverse stakeholders."
Like Race, Rebekah Hook isn't sure if her civic engagement training will lead to a career in politics.
"I don't wake up thinking about running for office, but if my community asked me to serve, I probably would. Being involved is what I'm really passionate about."

When I got my MA at AUCairo many years ago, the only thing was Syntax as an elective (along with Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Contrastive Analysis, etc...) not the sort of 'grammar' course that transfers into your EFL classroom, but certainly an interesting part of Linguistics. I just went back and looked at their current program and they have added a required grammar course in their core. I suspect that this is a factor of the fact that applicants now don't have the strong grammar background that was taught in the schools up until the 70s. A sad commentary on the current level of education K-12... certainly in the US and I have read the same complaint from the British side.

I think the interviewer looked it up and was curious to see if the job candidate could come up with some anti-matter from the black hole of grammatical minutia. such as... In "See Spot run," Spot is the noun phrase and run is a verb phrase. Unfortunately your transformational grammarians do not trouble themselves with such details as what kind of verb phrase it is, leaving us pretty much back where we started. Spot run is an "objective infinitive." Now we're getting somewhere. An infinitive is an uninflected verb form commonly beginning with to, as in to run. In an objective infinitive (and doesn't that sound like something you could get Unitarians to pray to?), the noun is modified by the infinitive, and the two parts together--in this case Spot run--are the direct object of the predicate, see. One may object: How can run be an infinitive? There's no to in front of it. My informant explained this by saying the to was "understood." "See Spot [to] run"? I don't think so. --http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1275/how-do-you-diagram-the-sentence-see-spot-run Back to top johnslatJoined: 21 Jan 2003Posts: 13859Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2012 7:55 pm Post subject: Dear B4, Spot on (to borrow a Britishism ) Regards, John Back to top robinbanksJoined: 28 Apr 2009Posts: 77 Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 9:50 am Post subject: "It's the way you tell 'em"! as Frank Carson would say (R.I.P.

This does seem rather late. Im One never knows how the numbers will shape up, who will jump ship or what student enrollment will look like. I got my offer in June, so don't worry. This year will be even more confusing since Ramadan starts in mid-July, but they probably do want to wrap everything up before July 19th (the last Thursday before what might be the start of Ramadan) Zayed's housing offerings should be fine for the first year. I would recommend that you take it, as you won't want the stress of running around looking for a place in your first weeks. You can always stay with Zayed's housing, but once you take the housing allowance you have to stay with it, too; you can't shift back to Zayed University housing. After a year, you will have a better sense of traffic patterns and which schools your kids can attend. Those who went through the housing bubble a few years back understand how volatile the market can be. There are lots of pretty places up for rent now and all for a song. It's temping to go for the waterfront view with a balcony, but I don't know if the market is stable quite yet. You should have enough money for tuition for a good school. The problem is getting your kid on a waiting list for a good school.

You may notice a little less in your paycheck starting this month. California employers are now required to withhold 10 percent more in state income taxes to help ease the budget crisis.
It's part of a plan to artificially inflate state revenue by $1.7 billion through next June.
Brenda Voet, a spokeswoman for the state Franchise Tax Board, said it's technically not a tax increase since workers will get their money back after April 15.
You'll still probably see the difference. For example, a person making $51,000 a year will get about $4 less a week.

Scream Factory resurrects Charles B. Pierce's low-budget thriller The Town That Dreaded Sundown for a Blu-ray release, and this creaky dramatization of several real-life Texarkana murders proves an interesting mix of terror, oddball humor and crime documentary. Several months after World War II ended, a hooded murderer known as the "Phantom Killer" sent this peaceful community on the Texas/Arkansas border into a tailspin. Five people lost their lives before the killer crept back into the woods and swamps from which he came, and authorities never closed the case. Pierce's film is not exactly polished, but it injects a fair amount of suspense into the proceedings, which unspool like an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" mixed with the good-natured humor of "The Andy Griffith Show." The Town That Dreaded Sundown may not be as frightening today as it was in 1976, but it's a fair shake better than many horror films of the decade.
Pierce opens the film with a straightforward reenactment of the Phantom's attack on a young couple. They survive, but the killer soon preys on other lovers parked on a rural road and they end up in the morgue. Local authorities call on Capt. J.D. Morales (Ben Jonson), a Texas Ranger, for help solving the case, and the no-nonsense investigator uses boneheaded town patrolman A.C. "Sparkplug" Benson (Pierce, pulling double duty) as his chauffeur. The Phantom grows increasingly brutal in his crimes, which show signs of sexual depravity, and the normally peaceful town is put on edge as summer rolls around. Pierce uses matter-of-fact narration throughout, much like a crime docudrama, and the murders are viciously and realistically staged.
While the opening attacks are not particularly suspenseful, they are to-the-point effective. The Phantom Killer wears a hood and only his eyes are revealed. The killer's labored breathing within this white sack is off-putting, and his gasps border on ecstasy. These violent attacks so close to town frighten locals used to sitting on their front porches and walking alone down country roads. The Phantom manages to skirt the long arm of the law on several occasions, and the reason is a combination of inexperienced cops and the killer's keen survival instincts. Deputy Norman Ramsey (Andrew Pine) comes the closest to nabbing the Phantom after he hears shots in the woods, but returns to town unsuccessful and shaken.
I certainly wasn't expecting the film's often humorous tone. Poor Sparkplug nearly kills Capt. Morales by driving into a lake, and every hot pursuit feels like it was ripped from a slapstick buddy-cop comedy. There are moments of unintended hilarity, too, like Capt. Morales' conversation with a psychiatrist. That man's medical assessment of the Phantom is certainly not politically correct but he cuts straight to the point. All the lighthearted banter would pull the audience out of the action except Pierce appears to have intentionally created a film comprised of many genres bits. The docudrama narration and accompanying police procedural neatly frame the story, and Pierce abandons the humor in these scenes and during moments of suspense. Later Phantom attacks are prolonged and more frightening, and the killer greatly improves his accuracy.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown is an interesting story modestly retold. The lack of closure in Texarkana translates to the film, but its open-endedness makes the Phantom all the more frightening. There are a number of low-budget hiccups, some more noticeable than others, but nothing to ruin the overall experience. Fans of '70s horror should enjoy dusting off this forgotten slasher hybrid, and the performances from Johnson and Pierce are enjoyable. The Town That Dreaded Sundown is not the most effective thriller of the era, but its mix of terror, humor and police procedure is uniquely entertaining.
The Blu-ray preserves the film's native 2.35:1 aspect ratio for this 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer. Those expecting a pristine, modern-looking transfer will be disappointed, but The Town That Dreaded Sundown looks pretty good for a thirty-seven-year-old low-budget film. I compared the Blu-ray with the included DVD, and the HD transfer provides a substantial bump in detail and clarity. The film often takes on the warm appearance of its Texarkana setting, and colors are nicely saturated. Black levels are decent, though there's a fair bit of crush thanks to the mid-level 35 mm stock. Wide shots are clear and crisp, and close-ups often provide good facial detail. Per Shout Factory there was no noise reduction done on the transfer. The only issue with this transfer is print damage and debris, and these flaws are especially noticeable during the opening minutes. Specks, scratches, vertical lines, smudges and dirt all appear frequently in the first reel. The print cleans up considerably as the film moves forward, but the damage is definitely noticeable and slightly distracting. The Blu-ray likely makes use of the best source material available and, since a full-scale cleanup would likely be too costly, this damage is certainly forgivable on a low-budget horror film.
The Blu-ray offers a lossless 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio mono mix, which is true to the original presentation. This is a nice mix, largely free of hiss or distracting audio hiccups, and clarity is good despite the lack of surround activity. Dialogue is crisp and clear, and is layered nicely amid score and effects. The track has nice depth, and the mix is certainly pleasing for a mono soundtrack. English subtitles are available.
This two-disc release is packed in a standard Blu-ray case and features reversible artwork. Scream Factory created new, informative HD bonus content for this catalog release, and the set also includes a DVD copy of the film. Most exciting is the addition of a second feature film, The Evictors, on the DVD. Extras are as follows:
Charles B. Pierce's The Town That Dreaded Sundown is an entertaining blend of horror, crime docudrama and slapstick humor. The film tells the true story of the Phantom Killer that stalked the streets of Texarkana but was never apprehended. Scream Factory again proves its dedication to genre fans by unearthing this forgotten thriller for a Blu-ray release. The film looks and sounds about as good as it probably can, and the Blu-ray features newly shot interviews with the cast and crew, as well as The Evictors, another feature film by Pierce. Recommended.

NEW YORK, Mon, Feb. 18, 2013 — Investors bought everything Avon Products Inc. CEO Sheri McCoy was selling last week, lifting shares 23 percent on the back of solid results and a confidence the new CEO has a turnaround plan.
That makes the spotlight even brighter on McCoy when she takes center stage on Thursday at an important industry analyst conference and details that turnaround. Among her biggest challenges: fix the company's technology problems, and help the sales representatives generate more cash.
"She has to start speaking with specificity," said Kathy Gersch, a co-founder of Kotter International, which helps companies implement strategies and whose clients include Coty Inc., a smaller rival that tried to buy Avon last year.
"It's not just about fixing the company anymore. It's about moving the company into the future."
So far, McCoy and finance chief Kimberly Ross, have taken early steps to cut costs, stanch an exodus of representatives in top markets like Brazil and Russia, and start talks with U.S. officials to settle a costly overseas bribery probe.
Wall Street gives McCoy and Ross kudos for being frank about the depth of Avon's problems and for taking tough steps like cutting 1,500 jobs in December as part of plan to save $400 million in costs a year by 2015; and exiting Vietnam and South Korea where it is too far behind rivals.
The quarterly performance turned in on Tuesday showed some of that progress, cheering investors who had become disappointed by the broken promises in the later years of the tenure of Andrea Jung, McCoy's predecessor.

We imagine that as a young child, having water and soap trickle down on your head and face for no good reason is a source of confusion and stress. Screams and cries aplenty, right? Why not just get the Kangaroo Baby Shower cap. You can still wash baby's hair, but keep water and shampoo off his eyes. It's uh, $2.
