AS CUTE AS A BAO BAO: John Sonderman captured a playful moment

between two Sumatran tiger cubs, Sukacita and Bandar, at the National Zoo last

month. The two cubs were born Aug. 5 and went on view Nov. 18 after having a few

months to bond with their mother, Dumai.

BEARDS

Dude From ‘Duck Dynasty’ Must Be Strapped for CashIt looks as if Father Time might end up doing time in

Prince George’s County, Md., where a man wearing a

long, blatantly fake, salt-and-pepper beard robbed a

PNC Bank in Laurel, Md., last month, according to Lau-

rel Police and reported by The Baltimore Sun. The fel-

low fired one shot before taking leave with his cash.

No one was injured, and police are investigating.

SUPERHEROES

“I am Drunkman!”— A R E V E L E R I N C L A R E N D O N TO SOBERMAN, A SUPERHERO

WHO LAST MONTH ENCOURAGED BARGOERS NOT TO DRINK

AND DRIVE. (“DRUNKMAN” PLANNED TO TAKE METRO HOME, SO

SOBERMAN GAVE HIM A STARBUCKS GIF T CARD.) SOBERMAN,

WHO WEARS RED AND YELLOW SPANDEX, A MASK AND A CAPE,

IS PART OF AN ARLINGTON COUNT Y POLICE CAMPAIGN TO STOP

DRUNKEN DRIVING.

CARELESSNESS

What Happens When You Don’t Pay Your Intern ElvesLooks as if the trunk of Santa’s sleigh wasn’t properly

latched. A container full of wrapped children’s gifts was

found on the side of the road in Spotsylvania County,

Va., late last month, Fredericksburg Patch reported. A

concerned citizen found the gifts and informed the sher-

iff, who tried to find the owner. At press time, however,

the mysterious gift-hauler remained at large. (EXPRESS)

2014 PREDICTION

“If Surprise Number One

caused Metro’s bigshots to pee in their pants,

I imagine Surprise Number Two will

do a bit more.”

— HENRY DOCTER, otherwise

known as the Phantom Planter, on

his plans, “full of goodness and love,”

for the year. Docter made news in

July when he attempted to beautify

the area outside the Dupont Circle

station with 1,000 plants — only to

have Metro rip them out a few weeks

later. He responded in October with

“Surprise Number One,” a sculpture

he suspended from a rope above the

Dupont station entrance (it, too, was

taken down). A second project is in

the works, he said, adding, “When it’s

completely operational, I think Metro is

going to unconditionally surrender.”

ON LOCATION

Scene Beyond the CapitolLook around. Chances are the U.S. Capitol isn’t in your direct view. The National Mall likely isn’t either. That’s because

the D.C. area is more than that. Yet many filmmakers seem slow to catch on, with those iconic sites topping the list of

locations that filmmakers file permits for, according to D.C.’s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development.

We dug up some movies filmed with less-obvious local backdrops. Can you match the scene with the location?

For What It’s Worth is produced by Marissa Payne and Rachel Sadon. Have suggestions for the page? Email us at fwiw@wpost.com

or tweet us @WaPoExpress.“D.C. Cab” — Where Tyrone (Charlie

Barnett) attempts to pull an illegal fare.

“Contact” — Where Eleanor Arroway

(Jodie Foster) seeks funding to build a

machine to contact extraterrestrials.

“Slam” — Where the judge (played by

Council member Marion Barry!) gives a

lecture about the dangers of drug use.

“State of Play” — Where Cal McAffrey

(Russell Crowe) interrogates Dominic

Foy (Jason Bateman)

“The Blair Witch Project” — Where

Michael (Michael C. Williams) and

Heather (Heather Donahue) end up.

“Silence of the Lambs” — Where

Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) trains.

“Marnie” — Where Marnie (Tippi

Hedren) stays.

“Absolute Power” — Where FBI agent

Seth Frank (Ed Harris) confronts Luther

Whitney (Clint Eastwood).

01.05-01.11THE BEST THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK | COMPILED BY EXPRESS STAFF

ONGOING

‘Mr. Lincoln’s Washington’If you think the District looks

different than it did a year ago,

you should have seen it 150

years ago. This National Portrait

Gallery exhibit collects images

of D.C. neighborhoods and

landmarks from the Civil War

era. See what Chinatown, Navy

Yard, the White House and the

Capitol looked like when Honest

Abe was in offi ce. National Portrait Gallery, Eighth and F streets NW; through Jan. 25, 2015, free; 202-633-8300, npg.si.edu. (Gallery Place)

‘Downton Abbey’The third season of “Downton” ended with a party, a birth and Matthew’s death. How long will Lady Mary sulk? Considering how quickly the Crawleys bounced back from Lady Sybil’s demise, maybe a few hours? The fourth installment, airing as part of “Masterpiece” (9 p.m., Sundays, PBS), is rumored to be a return to fi rst-season form, with more trivial but fascinating upstairs-downstairs drama and fewer soap-opera twists.

SUNDAY PB

S

SUNDAY

Todd SniderDuring live shows, alt-country

stalwart Todd Snider famously

introduces his songs with stories.

That makes the small, seated

confi nes of Rams Head On Stage

perfect for the singer-songwriter.

The intimate space lets the audi-

ence really listen to what Snider’s

talking — and singing — about,

whether it’s a workingman’s take

on the Great Recession or the

story of how Snider himself went

from high school football play-

er to troubadour. Rams Head On Stage, 33 West St., Annapolis; Sun., 7 p.m., $27.50; 410-268-4545, ramsheadonstage.com.

SUNDAY

Ska Goes Solo Tour Every punk’s gotta grow up

some day; the same goes for ska

singers. Thus we have the Ska

Goes Solo Tour, in which mem-

bers of Less Than Jake, Catch

22 and Arrogant Sons of Bitch-

es drop the horns and strip their

songs down to the bare, acoustic

essentials. Jammin’ Java, 227 Maple Ave. E, Vienna; Sun., 7 p.m., $12-$15; 703-255-1566, jamminjava.com.

ONGOING

‘The Nile and Ancient Egypt’The Smithsonian’s Freer Gal-

lery is devoted to Asian art, so

what’s with the Egyptian stuff?

Charles Lang Freer, whose col-

lection makes up most of the

museum’s holdings, was also

really into the land of pharaohs

and pyramids. In 1907, Freer

even told a friend that his hoard

would be incomplete without

examples of “the greatest art in

the world.” The artifacts in the

exhibit — amulets, vases, tiles,

beads, pottery — show how

the world’s most famous river

inspired artisans. Freer Gallery of Art, Jefferson Drive and 12th Street SW; free; 202-633-4880, asia.si.edu. (Smithsonian)

Jim Gaffi ganThere is, perhaps, no one more qualifi ed to sling jokes about food than Jim Gaffi gan. The comedian titled his recent memoir “Dad Is Fat,” so you know he likes to eat. Then there’s his material, which has touched on McDonald’s, Subway and, most famously, those addictive, microwaveable pouches of meat and cheese called Hot Pockets. Warner Theatre, 513 13th St. NW; Fri. & Sat., 7 & 9:30 p.m., $37.75-$47.75; 202-783-4000, warnertheatredc.com. (Metro Center)

FRIDAY–SATURDAY

MONDAY

‘The Bachelor’Fan favorite Juan Pablo Galavis,

the former Venezuelan soccer

player who was spurned by

Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock

last season, is back for the show’s

18th run (8 p.m., Mondays,

ABC). He told People magazine

that, as ‘The Bachelor’s” fi rst

Latino lead, “It’s going to be so

different. You’re going to love

it.” OK, then! On Sunday, catch

“Countdown to Juan Pablo” (8 p.m.)

to psychologically prepare.

ONGOING

‘Records of Rights’The most eye-catching highlight

of this new National Archives

exhibit is the 17-foot touch screen

visitors can use to explore civil

rights issues — such as those

of kids in schools, gays and

lesbians, and African-Americans

— throughout U.S. history.

Among the many physical

artifacts on view is an original

Magna Carta, the 13th-century

legal document that inspired

the Founding Fathers. National Archives, Constitution Avenue between Seventh and Ninth streets NW; free; 202-357-5000, archives.gov/nae/visit. (Archives)

TUESDAY

‘Justifi ed’One of the most underrated

dramas on cable television,

“Justifi ed” (10 p.m., Tuesdays,

FX) returns for a fi fth season.

This is the show’s fi rst outing

since novelist Elmore Leonard

died in August; his short story

“Fire in the Hole” inspired the

series, which also drew from

Leonard’s other tales of Deputy

U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens.

“Justifi ed” follows Givens

(Timothy Olyphant) as he

chases criminals and plays by

his own rules in Harlan, Ky.

FX promises new foes in the

form of “a deadly, lawless

family from Florida.”

IN THEATERS

‘August: Osage County’FRIDAY | Meryl Streep’s an unstable, drugged-out mom and Julia Roberts is the toughest of her three daughters. When Dad dies, the whole family reunites in Oklahoma to hurl guilt, lies and objects at one another.

CAPITALS

Ovechkin is still great

Capitals star Alex Ovechkin

has powered past a little lull in

his career and is back to being

one of the best players in the

NHL. After two down seasons

(by his standards), Ovechkin

led the league in goals and won

his third Hart Trophy last year.

And he hasn’t slowed down;

he’s on pace to set a career

record in goals this year. He’s

been the first to reach 30 goals

in back-to-back seasons.

CAPITALS

Coaching stability

The Caps went from Bruce

Boudreau to Dale Hunter

in the middle of the 2011-

12 season. Then Hunter

didn’t return, so they hired

Adam Oates for the lockout-

shortened 2012-13. That’s a lot

of change in philosophy and

leadership over a short period

of time. With Oates now

having his first full season to

work with the team, there’s

finally a sense of stability on

the bench.

D.C. UNITED

United has done it before

From 2010 to 2011, D.C. United

had a total of 15 wins and

missed the playoffs both years.

Then they bounced back to go

17-10-7 and make the Eastern

Conference finals in 2012. So

why can’t they rebound from

the dregs of the MLS standings

again? Acquiring U.S. national

team forward Eddie Johnson,

who led the Seattle Sounders

in goals the past two seasons,

should help.

NATIONALS

A promising second half

The Nationals had one of the

worst offenses in the NL in the

first half of the season, ranking

13th out of 15 teams in runs

scored. But after the All-Star

break, they scored the second-

most runs in the NL. Their

starting lineup remains intact

for 2014 and is fully capable of

being a top run-scoring group.

WIZARDS

Making the jumpJohn Wall and Bradley Beal

have missed significant time over

the past two years, but if each can

stay healthy, the Wizards will have

one of the top young backcourts

in the NBA. This season, Beal has

taken the responsibility of being

the team’s top scorer, while Wall

is developing into one of the best

all-around point guards in the

league.

WIZARDS

No bad dealsHere’s who’s under contract

for the Wizards in 2014-15: Nene,

John Wall, Martell Webster,

Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr. and

Glen Rice Jr. (Eric Maynor has

a player option). They’re not all

great contracts, but the Wizards

no longer have any debilitating

deals like they had in the past

with Gilbert Arenas, Rashard

Lewis and Andray Blatche.

THE BIG FOUR

Misery loves company

In each of the four major sports,

Washington is in one of the worst

divisions or conferences. In the

NFL, the NFC East winner has

had 10 or fewer wins the past

four seasons. In baseball, the NL

East was the only division in 2013

with three teams with fewer than

75 wins. In the NBA, there have

been times this season when only

two Eastern Conference teams

were above .500. And in the NHL,

the Metropolitan division is by far

the worst. So it won’t take much

to get back in the playoff mix.

REDSKINS

More spending options

The Redskins had a $36 million

salary-cap sanction, which they

split over the past two years. Next

year, the Redskins’ spending

handcuffs come off, so glaring

needs like safety, offensive line

and inside linebacker can be

addressed through free agency.

REDSKINS

A healthy offseason

Robert Griffin III set the bar

pretty high for himself with

his record-setting rookie year.

His 2013 season was, well, very

underwhelming. But cut the

guy some slack. He missed an

entire offseason’s workouts as he

rehabbed from his knee injury.

Heading into this offseason

healthy should give RGIII an

edge for 2014.

NATIONALS

Major upgradeWith the addition of pitcher

Doug Fister, the Nationals may

have the best starting rotation

in the majors. Fister was 14-9

with a 3.67 ERA last season.

The starter he’ll replace in the

rotation, Dan Haren, was 10-14

with a 4.67 ERA in 2013.

Summer calls for a cold beer or chilled glass of wine,but to combat January’s dark days and frigid temperatures, you need stronger stuff . This is the time for spirits that make you feel warm all over, such as brandy, rum and rye. So put away those pajamas and head to one of these establishments, whose bartenders await you with soothing winter drinks. Made with such ingredients as cloves and nutmeg and heated to a comforting temperature, the following concoctions stand out for their toasty takes on classics and their ability to help you cope with gloomy weather. BRIAN OH (FOR EXPRESS)

WintryMixology

Estadio, 1520 14th St. NW; 202-319-1404, estadio-dc.com.Inspired by the classic Spanish

drink Trifasico (espresso, frothed

milk and brandy), beverage

director Adam Bernbach created

the Quatrofi asco ($9), which

adds almond syrup and orange

zest to the recipe. “The orange

brightens it up a bit and the

almond accentuates the nuttiness

in the espresso,” Bernbach says.

His tweaks help to “sand down the

bitter edges of the espresso and the

stark booziness of the brandy.”

QUATROFIASCO

Range, 5335 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-803-8020, voltrange.com.A spin on the classic Blue Blazer (the original

fl aming cocktail that was included in the

fi rst bartenders manual, written in 1862),

the Blazed Abbot ($11) trades the customary

scotch for Smith & Cross rum and Chartreuse,

a liqueur whose recipe includes more than

100 herbs. Hot water and an orange peel is

added and the Blazed Abbot is lit on fi re. It’s

then sloshed back and forth between two

mugs, all the while ablaze to build warmth

before the bartender extinguishes the fl ame

by snuffi ng it with a mug. The resulting

concoction — so named for the Carthusian

monks that make Chartreuse — is potent,

aromatic and herbaceous.

BLAZED ABBOT

Jackson 20, 480 King St., Alexandria; 703-842-2790, jackson20.com.The 2 Sins ($11) is bartender

Andy Nelson’s interpretation

of the hot buttered rum, the rich holiday classic that

dates back to Colonial days. To keep the drink from

being too heavy, Nelson chills the hot butter overnight

so the fat can be skimmed off. He reheats it before

adding it to Myers’ Rum and a spice bouquet that

includes cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. A

house-made butterscotch and dulce de leche foam

mingles with the liquid as you sip. “We’re going for

a complex yet well-rounded taste that will keep you

warm with seasonal spices and buttery sweetness,”

Nelson says.

Majestic Cafe, 911 King St., Alexandria; 703-837-9117, majesticcafe.com.One of mixologist Todd

Thrasher’s creations, the Cider

Car ($12) is a clever play on

the sidecar. Instead of that

drink’s cognac and lemon juice,

Thrasher mixes Calvados Busnel

apple brandy, Cointreau and hot

apple cider with a cinnamon

sugar rim on the glass. The

result is boozy with a thick

citrus fl avor that’s sweet but

not overbearing. The cinnamon

garnish injects a bit of balancing

spice into each sip. “It’s perfect

for warming your belly this

season,” Thrasher says.

Room11, 3234 11th St. NW; 202-332-3234, room11dc.com.This winter cocktail is named

after an intersection where

bartender Sean MacPherson

had a memorable night with his

girlfriend. “She took me there

on a cold night and we talked

for hours,” MacPherson says.

“We kept passing a sweatshirt

back and forth, and it made

me want a warm drink.” The

next day, the 13th & Clifton

($9) was born. Based on the

traditional hot toddie, the drink

is made with Old Overholt

rye, Kirschwasser brandy,

Peychaud’s Bitters and Fernet

Leopold Highland Amaro.

Served in a mug, the 13th &

Clifton is tart with a heat that

creeps through your chest. For

the full effect, take it outside to

Room11’s small sidewalk patio

and sit by the fi re pit.
