text:
BROKEN CITY * * * . Mark Wahlberg is a tainted cop-turned-P.I. and Russell Crowe is the mayor of New York, suspecting his wife (Catherine Zita-Jones) of having an affair, in Allen Hughes' taut, tough, satisyingly noirish thriller about power, politics and corruption. 1 hr. 49 R (violence, profanity, sex, adult themes)
DJANGO UNCHAINED * * 1 /2 . Quentin Tarantino homages Mandingo, spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation, Sam Peckinpah and the Three Stooges, in this all-over-the-place antebellum western. Jamie Foxx gets the title role, a slave promised freedom if he helps a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) track down some mugs. With Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson and Leonard DiCaprio as a plantation owner, twirling his mustache with sinister glee. R (violence, profanity, adult themes)
GANGSTER SQUAD * * 1 / 2. Sean Penn is crime king Mickey Cohen and Josh Brolin is the square-jawed LAPD detective determined to end his reign in this brawny neo-noir. With Emma Stone as Cohen's moll, Ryan Gosling as a pretty boy cop, and Nick Nolte as the gruff, gravel-voiced police chief. The retro touches are compromised by a contemporary visual style, and Penn's wild performance isn't always as menacing as perhaps the actor intended. 1 hr. 50 R (violence, sex, drugs, profanity, adult themes)
THE IMPOSSIBLE * * * 1 / 2. A family caught in the unbelievable carnage of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami — unbelievable, but true — with Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor and the remarkable young actor Tom Holland. A chilling, but thrilling account of survival, visceral and inspiring. 1 hr. 54 PG-13 (violence, profanity, adult themes)
JACK REACHER * 1 / 2. Tom Cruise stars as the hero of Lee Child's book series about an ex-Army investigator tough guy. In this case, Reacher heads for Pittsburgh to find out who was behind the apparently random murder of five strangers by a sniper. Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins and David Oyelowo also star. 2 hrs. 10 PG-13 (violence, profanity, adult themes)
LES MISERABLES * * * . "The King's Speech's" Tom Hooper martials a big cast and big digital effects to bring the big Broadway musical based on Victor Hugo's big book to the big screen. It's rousing, it's roiling, it's revolutionary (as in post-French Revolution), with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway leading a pack of mighty-tonsiled stars. 2 hrs. 35 PG-13 (violence, sexual violence, adult themes)
LINCOLN * * * 1 / 2. Daniel Day-Lewis in an act of human alchemy, delivering an absolutely extraordinary performance as the 16th president of the United States, campaigning to end the Civil War and abolish slavery. A film about America's unique political process, and the leader trying to bend it to his will. 2 hrs. 29 PG-13 (violence, adult themes)
MAMA* * * . An intensely spooky ghost story, with two deeply traumatized young girls discovered in the woods and taken to live with their uncle and aunt (Jessica Chastain) — a move the wraith-like title character is hardly happy about. 1 hr. 40 PG-13 (intense scares, children in jeopardy, adult themes)
PARENTAL GUIDANCE * * * . Billy Crystal and Bette Midler anchor this engaging comedy that bridges multiple generation gaps. Made with more heart than art by director Andy Fickman, the film also features Marisa Tomei. 1 hr. 44 PG (one instance of below-the-belt humor)
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK * * * * . A head-spinning wonder of a movie about love, pain, reinvention, rehabilitation and the totemic power of an NFL franchise, with Bradley Cooper as a guy dealing with bipolar disorder and heartbreak, Jennifer Lawrence as a young widow with her own troubles and woe, and with an amazing supporting cast. From director David O. Russell, based on Matthew Quick's novel. 2 hrs. 02 R (profanity, sex, drugs, violence, adult themes)
SKYFALL* * * . The 23d Bond film, and the third with Daniel Craig as the steely 007, takes a veddy British turn, even if it starts in Istanbul and hopscotches across the Pacific. Javier Bardem is the fey and psycho (and not terribly interesting) villain and Judi Dench is back, and bristling, as M. There's a new young Q (Ben Whishaw) pleased with himself, and there's a fussy parliamentarian (Ralph Fiennes) displeased with MI6's security lapses. Berenice Marlohe is the exotic Bond girl, Naomie Harris the empowered one. Great action, and a bit of Bond backstory, too. PG-13 (violence, intense action, profanity, adult themes)
ZERO DARK THIRTY * * * * . Kathryn Bigelow's slow-burning and brilliant account of the decade-long Osama bin Laden manhunt, with Jessica Chastain as the CIA officer determined to track the al-Qaeda figure down, no matter what. With Jason Clarke, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Ehle, Joel Edgerton and Mark Strong. 2 hrs. 37 R (intense violence, profanity, adult themes)

The Town of Fairfield
takes its role in traffic safety very seriously. We
appreciate the many complaints, requests, and
suggestions we receive from various sources; because
it helps our staff develop a safer transportation
system. Due to limited resources, we cannot always
respond quickly to your concerns or ideas. This does
not mean that we do not value your input or
appreciate your concerns. Many traffic and parking
situations take considerable time to study and
evaluate possible solutions. Quick solutions are
often less effective in the long run. More
appropriate solutions may cost the taxpayers more
money, but we must prioritize the spending of our
budget across the entire town. A potential problem
in one part of town must be weighed against current
needs in other areas.
In consideration of
the above, we developed this
a resident of Fairfield who has identified a
potential traffic safety issue, it is important that
you involve your neighborhood in the possible
solution. Our intent is to focus on the most
important parking and traffic conditions in town, as
neighborhood consensus is reached. This practice
will ensure our best use of staff time and available
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Do you feel that Entaran needs to be voted off
It has been brought up into the public that Entaran has been a very forceful member of the forums. He has been abusing his power by removing and forcing issues which i believe should not of been done. I believe that he needs to be removed from his position due to the fact that he has no real involve in anything to do with the club. He however only makes posts on issues which he thinks he can control and he really pushes his issue. In the end its either his way or the highway.

Kabbalah MeKabbalah Me is a personal journey into the esoteric spiritual phenomenon known as Kabbalah. Throughout history, Kabbalah was studied by only the most holy Talmud scholars. The misinformation, innuendo and prohibition surrounding Kabbalah kept its wisdom from most Jews; many were even unaware of its existence. In Kabbalah Me, director Steven Bram embarks on a spiritual investigation that leads him to reunite with the Hasidic branch of his family and connect to the community of Judaic scholarship. Eventually his curiosity takes him on a pilgrimage to Israel, where he immerses himself in history and traditions of the Holy Land. Along the way, leading authorities discuss the complex, mystical world of Kabbalah - its varying interpretations and the myriad paths of its rituals and lessons. Bram's new commitment to spirituality and religious observance draws skepticism from family and friends but ultimately leads to profound changes across all aspects of his life.(c) First Run Features

In a particularly obscure corner of an industry that operates largely out of public view, Kink.com's directors and models strive for authenticity. In an enterprise often known for exploitative practices, Kink.com upholds an ironclad set of values to foster an environment that is safe, sane, and consensual. They aim to demystify the BDSM lifestyle, and to serve as an example and an educational resource for the BDSM community.

How to build your own Arcade System
By Todd Moore
A couple months ago I started out on a mission to build a home arcade system. I wanted to play all the classic video games as well as those console favorites. I played around with emulators before on my PC so I knew a little bit how it all worked. After months of researching and visiting a lot of different websites, I came up with an economical plan that didn't require too much time and the end result was a highly polished professional arcade system.
In this article I outline every component that was purchased, how much was spent, and my reasoning behind each one. I only wish I had this information when I started to build my own arcade as the majority of it was scattered throughout websites and forums. This is why I'm posting this information so you can save a lot of time and money. There are many factors to consider--You could drop $3,000 and buy a complete arcade system that plays maybe 100 games, or you could assemble your own for about half the price and play thousands of games. The choice was an easy one for me.
My custom built Arcade Cabinet!
Arcade Cabinet
The arcade machine all starts with an empty cabinet. You have some options to consider--buy a used arcade machine and gut it, buy cabinet pieces to assemble, or just buy the plans and start from scratch. I decided to go the easiest route that still gave me control over the components so I ordered pre-cut pieces. I'm no stranger to power tools, but I felt the time it would take didn't out way the costs of just buying the pieces and assembling.
I ordered the UAII cabinet kit from MameRoom Designs.
The cabinet arrived in multiple boxes and were of
good quality. All the parts were labeled with lettered
stickers and the build instructions were easy to
follow. It wasn't all puppy dogs and ice cream,
as a lot of the pieces were damaged like they had
been dropped. There were a couple pieces they
forgot to send and a few were duplicates. I question
their QA process, however, they were really good
about it and immediately shipped new pieces.
Note: MameRoom Designs was been purchased by another company.
Controls – SlikStik Classic Unit
You can build your own controls by ordering the individual buttons, trackball, spinner, wires, and what's called an I-PAC controller and plug it into your PC or you can order pre-built controls that fit cleanly into the cabinet and easily connect to your PC. Once again I'm no stranger to wiring things up, but I do have that full time job that cuts into my time and I actually wanted to complete this before winter.
I ordered the Classic
Unit panel and added the midnight blue overlay.
I highly recommend an overlay as it makes the controls
look like a real arcade system. The painful
thing is it took almost 5 weeks from when I ordered
to the day it was delivered. The construction
and overall quality is superb and definitely worth
the wait.
SlikStik Classic Unit - $500
Midnight Blue Overlay - $80
Note: SlikStik has gone out of business. Please see our forums for more information.
27" Toshiba TV - $65 (used)
I bought a 27" TV from a friend after spending weeks searching craigslist for one that had power-return. This feature isn't something you hear much about but is important for a game cabinet. It means if power goes out, it will turn itself back on and to the correct channel. The reason you need this is you won't have easy access to the power button and the bezel will cover the IR port so the remote won't work either. The model I got also had S-Video and a high comb filter which displays graphics and text cleanly at 800x600 resolution. All the classic games look great on it.
Toshiba 27" TV
PC – Dell 2.4 Ghz
This was my old PC and I put a fresh install of Windows XP Home Edition on it and used an old graphics card--the ATI all-in-wonder w/ S-Video out. I tried using a newer nVidia GeForce 4 card but the S-Video on it was horrible and after reading that other people had similar issues I would suggest sticking with ATI if your buying a new card.
One thing
to note is a high-end graphics card isn't really
needed as emulators use more CPU than anything else.
I'd suggest go middle of the road for both your
graphics card and CPU. It doesn't take much to power
these games from 1980.
Dell PC
Lighted Marquee
I ordered the marquee from Mame Marquee. I think the blue lightning effect looks sharp and matches the midnight blue overlay on the control panel.
I bought a Fluorescent Light Fixture from Happ Controls.
It didn't come with a plug so I had to take an old
extension cord and splice it together.
NOTE: Mame Marquee website is no longer available and Happ Controls has become suzohapp.com
Monitor Bezel
Ordered the 27" Monitor bezel from Happ Controls and used a utility knife to trim to fit. This hides everything on the TV except the screen. I got lucky in that it fit perfectly against the screen and the T-molding held it in place without Velcro or tape.
27" Monitor Bezel
I used a sub-woofer I already had and bought Cyber Acoustic Speakers to mount above the pre-cut speaker holes. Keep in mind that your arcade can also double as a jukebox, so make sure you get something that sounds decent.
I removed the screens from these speakers which
revealed 6 empty holes. I took a couple screws and
put them halfway into the cabinet and then slide
the speakers onto the screws. It held pretty
good by itself, but I also reinforced it with some
good old duct tape.
Cyber Acoustic Speakers - $30
Smart Power Strip
This is a really slick power strip that allows you to have one device be the control power for numerous other devices. For example, my PC is the control so if I power it up then the strip powers on the other devices which include the TV, marquee lights, and sound.
If I shutdown the PC then all the other devices will also shutdown. I can access the PC's power button by opening the coin door.
Coin Door
The coin door was the last touch to the arcade which is just for looks and has no real function. The arcade games do require a coin to be inserted prior to playing. However, the control panel has coin buttons to trigger this event.
The door was ordered from Happ Controls and came with yellow coin reject buttons. You can save money by not ordering the entire coin door system as the UAII plans state, but instead just get what you see from the outside. I have listed this part number on the right and it's all you need.
The coin door comes with yellow buttons installed which didn't fit my color scheme so I ordered blue buttons and swapped them out. I took an old power supply and wired up the included 14V light bulbs. It was a nice final touch to the arcade.

Game Emulators
Emulators are what you need to drive your arcade games which are called ROMs. Your PC is way more powerful than the original hardware that ran all those classic games and there is a whole community dedicated towards writing emulators to play them. There are many emulators out there and what follows are my favorites:
MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is probably the best known emulator in the world and plays the majority of your classic arcade games. If your running Windows, you'll want to use Mame32 which gives a nice GUI around the MAME engine. You'll need MAME to run games like Pac-Man, Joust, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Golden Tee, and about 3,000 more.
SNES has numerous emulators and I found Nestopia to be the easiest to get up and running. Super Mario Brothers and Zelda are games you just have to play.
The Sega Genesis has a great emulator called Fusion. The fast paced Sonic the Hedgehog makes it a requirement to download.
The Atari 2600 can be played using the Stella emulator. This console was introduced in 1977 and the games were very simple. If you remember Combat, Pitfall, and Kaboom! then you have to get it.
Daphne is an emulator that plays those classic arcade laser disc games. As a kid I remember watching others play Dragon's Lair but I never did because it was too expensive. Now you can play as much as you like without a bankroll of quarters.
The ROMs (games) are very easy to find by searching Google, but remember most of them are copyright so you'll need to check if your legally allowed to run them. ;)
The hardest thing to find were the laserdisc's for Daphne. You can buy them online or use bittorrent to download the MPEG files.

Front Loader
I wanted my arcade system to
look like a real arcade system and not a Windows
PC. This requires removing the Windows boot-up
screen, login screen, mouse cursors, and background
colors. It is actually possible to customize
it so there is no trace of Windows. The best
resource I found for doing all of this was here:
The best free front loader I found was AtomicFE. Another good front loader to check out is GameEx which is far more extensive than all others but looked too much like Windows Media Center for my taste.
Maximus Arcade - $25
GameEx - $25
AtomicFE - Free!
Final Result
I have over 7,000 different games
available on my arcade system. I use the favorites
menu to keep track of the ones my friends and I
play the most. If I had to create a most played
list it would include:
I wish I could say this project is done, but something tells me I'll be tweaking it for years to come.
I highly recommend building your own arcade machine. The process of building it was almost as fun as playing the games themselves. Almost. :)

Working Without Weaning
3 options for breast-feeding moms.
« Previous | 1 of 1 | Next »
Going back to work doesn't have to mean giving up nursing. Here are some options:
|Part-time breast-feeding
|On-the-job nursing
|Works if:
|You're prepared for a little discomfort while your milk supply adjusts to meet your baby's demands.
You don't mind giving formula to your baby when you're away.
Your baby will happily switch between breast and a bottle.
|You rent or buy a high-quality pump so you can express milk efficiently.
You have a private office or access to a "lactation room."
You have access to a refrigerator.
Your baby will drink from a bottle as well as from the breast.
|Your baby is in a day-care center at or near your office.
You live close enough to work so that you can run home several times a day.
You have a caregiver who can bring the baby to your office for feedings.
|Does not interfere at all with work time. You can enjoy the "bonding" of breast-feeding without any demands during the day.
|Your baby gets the full health benefits of a breast-milk-only diet. You can limit the frequency of pumping during the day by expressing extra milk at home.
|No special equipment necessary.
Your baby has special time during
the day to bond with Mom, plus
all the nursing benefits.
|Some babies move into a reverse feeding pattern and limit their nutritional intake during the day, so you need to get up more often at night to breast-feed.
|You need to have a place where you
can relax enough to express milk. This isn't something you'll want to do in a ladies' room stall.
|The key is having a job with some flexibility so you can make up for
time lost, as well as the full support
of your employer or manager.

Runway to Red Carpet: Energetic Hues and Wes' Week on Top-------
When it comes to fashion, the red carpet can often be filled with the same old, same old. But now and again, some bold celebrities shake things up with experimental, next-level looks. Here's what's feeling fresh this week.
This week, stars brought a much-needed jolt of energy to the red carpet with bright, electric hues. Elle Fanning kicked things off on Saturday in a vivid neon lace Christopher Kane Resort '15 minidress at a panel for The Boxtrolls during Comic-Con in San Diego. Nicola Peltz, who can seemingly do no sartorial wrong, amped things up in a bright tangerine Prada Fall '14 halter gown with plunging neckline at Monday night's premiere of Transformers: Age of Extinction in Tokyo. Later in the week, everyone's favorite TV bad girl, Taylor Schilling, stepped out in a bold, color-blocked Roland Mouret Pre-Fall '14 look for a visit to the SiriusXM studios on Thursday in New York.
Wes Gordon, who was recently named a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, has been steadily making a name for himself on the celebrity circuit. This week he got a nod of approval from a handful of A-listers who opted for designs from his Resort '15 collection. On Monday, Gwyneth Paltrow chose a mid-length patterned sheath for a screening of Hector and the Search for Happiness in the Hamptons, and Maggie Gyllenhaal donned a sophisticated white number with metallic embroidery down the front for a taping of Good Morning America on Thursday morning. This could be the start of a very successful red-carpet career.
Natasha Lyonne Lays Down the Law-------
Natasha Lyonne is no stranger to the spotlight, having started her acting career at the mere age of 6, when she was cast in Pee-Wee's Playhouse. The inimitable, filter-free actress has worked with everyone from Woody Allen to Nora Ephron (whom Lyonne cites as her personal-style inspiration). Some of her most impressive work includes her starring roles in late nineties independent films Slums of Beverly Hills and But I'm a Cheerleader, as well as her current performance as Nicky Nichols on the hit Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. There's a lot of Lyonne in Nicky—a penchant for wisecracks, an endearing crassness, a refusal to tame her unruly locks. But what's most personal, perhaps, is the fact that Lyonne and her character on the show are both recovered heroin addicts, and the actress says that her own experience helps her relate to her incarcerated character. Here, Lyonne speaks to Style.com about the trouble with prison khakis, the psychology of addiction, and why she's just like Beyoncé.
Did you have any idea how successful Orange Is the New Black would be?
No. I don't think any of us anticipated it. My working theory is that it's a response to our really homogenized, Botoxed, spray-tanned culture. It's a really creepy phase we're in. So I think the show ended up hitting at a perfect time. I think [the creators] were just trying to tell the story of what happened to Piper [Kerman]. They cast people who looked real and who felt real, instead of glamorized prison inmates.
There aren't many women-centric shows with strong, female-ensemble casts like there is in Orange Is the New Black. Do you think your show is breaking the mold?
I think the show breaks the mold in a lot of ways. I feel really privileged to be in the company of that cast and our writers and Jenji [Kohan]; it's such a strong group. And there are so many lessons in that for women—it's amazing how there's space for all of us. I think society would have women falsely believe that there's some sort of competition happening, and ultimately that's an idea told by advertising and marketing to try and pin us up against each other. It certainly doesn't feel like [we're competing] on the show. In fact, [the show's success] feels very rewarding for the human spirit because it seems like it's OK to be who you are.
How did you prepare for your role? Did it hit close to home?
I read the book [Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison, 2010] and [Nicky Nichols] is really an amalgamation of several different characters in the book. And obviously I had enough of my personal experience to make it feel very real for myself. Oftentimes what's so tragic about drug addicts is that they're people who are so full of life, and then those around them watch them destroy themselves. That's what's so frustrating for the people around them.
In many cases, the drug addict is a person who has a heightened sensitivity to life and can't handle it. That same quality can make them seem very alive to their friends. A drug addict is often somebody who wants to play music really loud, and drives the car really fast, and is the life of the party. Or it's the person who will get on the phone with you while you're crying until 4 a.m. So when addiction gets ahold of them, it can be really heartbreaking because they lose all that and they become a shadow of themselves. They become like the walking dead—internally wounded. Having that firsthand experience set me up really nicely for understanding what that person is like in the aftermath, which is that they get to be just as full of life as they were in the first place. In prison, Nicky doesn't have drugs. She's just left with her personality, which means she's always a little bit uncomfortable because her "medicine" is gone. She feels like reality is a little bit more surreal and wants to comment on it a lot. I guess my point is that I shared a lot of her personal experiences.
Do you find that the cast's uniforms allow the audience to better understand the characters individually? Does it help the characters to develop on a leveled playing field?
I think all those things are true, and Jenn Rogien does a great job of helping us all come up with something specific to make [our looks] our own. In our flashback episodes, what we wear becomes doubly important because it's the only time you get insight into what kind of person that character was. For example, when we were doing my flashback, it was important that it was clear that [Nicky] came from money.
How do you deal with wearing khaki all the time?
It never gets better. You get in your fucking prison outfit, you look like shit, you try to work it from different angles, and you realize that it's hopeless. You might think, Maybe if I roll up the pants underneath my T-shirt, it'll lay flatter underneath my outer shirt…? But it's just a hopeless cause. Maybe if I tuck my pants into my socks it'll be better…? That kind of gives them a nice parachuting effect. Really lengthens the legs. If you're 5'2″, the first thing you want to do is tuck your khaki pants into your white socks—that's a hot tip. You have no fuckin' choice, dude. You're in prison! So stop fucking around and get your head in the game. You're just forced to give up on vanity on that show.
I'm a big fan of your hair. It looks like it has a mind of its own.
No idea what you're talking about.
Obviously it's a signature look of yours. Do you have any secrets to keeping it so disheveled but cool at the same time? Or do you just wake up like that, like Beyoncé?
First of all, I'm a lot like Beyoncé in a lot of ways, so I'm glad it's finally come up. Ideally, it's an "I wake up like this" kind of look. The only trouble is that sometimes if I have a 4 a.m. call time, then we've got to be working by 6, my hair won't dry in time. My hair, when it dries naturally, it's really at its best. Once you put a blow-dryer on it, it just gets frizzed out. I always get really bummed when we have to do that. I cringe and pull away if somebody comes at me with a brush or a blow-dryer because it seems like it's going to fuck up [my hair's] natural rhythm. But Angel [De Angelis] and Val [Valerie Velez] have come up with a system for making my hair look like itself quickly, even if it's wet.
And what are things like in the hair and makeup room of a prison show?
Actually, it's our first week back at work, and yesterday Angel, who has a thick New York accent like I do, was doing Taylor [Schilling]'s hair, and I was sitting in Val's chair, and I heard her saying to Taylor over the blow-dryer, "It's going to be a very elegant season." She was actually talking about how it's going to be a very intense allergy season, but ever since, I've been telling everybody that this is going to be a very elegant season of Orange Is the New Black. A lot of people have been calling it "groundbreaking" or "captivating," but not a lot of people have been calling it an "elegant" show. I was like, "This is a very special, very super-elegant episode of Orange Is the New Black in allergy season." So now every time Andrew McCarthy gives me direction, I'll be like, "Yeah, I'll do it just like that but more elegant." I've been smelling my fingers very elegantly thus far this season.
Does anything inspire your personal sense of style?
In my real life? Yeah, Lou Reed and Nora Ephron.
Being a New Yorker, do you wear a lot of black?
Yeah. The thing I don't like about black is that, in New York, it's like a uniform—I can just blend in. But when I go out to Los Angeles, it's like all of a sudden I'm making a statement, like I'm a goth or something. I'm not trying to make a statement, I'm just trying to get my cup of coffee, OK? And I might be warm because it's so sunny in your town, but that is definitely your problem, not mine.
Do you like New York better than L.A.?
Of course I like New York better than L.A. What am I, stupid? But Los Angeles doesn't offend me like it used to. When I was a rebellious teenager, it was really difficult for me. But now I feel like I know who I am out there.
Do you follow any TV shows?
Yeah, I watch Game of Thrones, and I'm watching all thirteen seasons of NYPD Blue.
Do you binge-watch like your audience does?
Yeah, I don't know why it took me so long in life to discover Law & Order, but when I did, like, three years ago, I watched every Law & Order. Every Law & Order: Criminal Intent, every Law & Order whatever. I even watched every Law & Order: Trial by Jury, which was a short-lived version. The only Law & Order I haven't seen is the SVU episode that I'm in.
That's funny. I remember when you had a cameo on Will & Grace.
That's great. I remember one time, like, five years ago I was hooking up with some guy for the first time in a motel room in San Francisco—don't worry, we were from New York—and I was very pleased when that episode came on TV because I was, like, so young. I was like, "That's me, you're welcome." That was a long time ago.
What message do you want Orange Is the New Black viewers to take away from the show?
Don't break the law! No, I'm just kidding. Totally kidding. I don't know. Be yourself. It's going to be all right.

Banks' Career Night Not Enough At WKU
Eagles fall to Hilltoppers, 80-70, in final non-conference game
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Despite a career-high 25 points from redshirt sophomore Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla./Santaluces HS), the FGCU men's basketball team couldn't quite overcome a double figure first half deficit in a 80-70 non-conference loss to WKU on Monday night at E.A. Diddle Arena.
The loss is the third in a row for the Eagles (6-19), who capped a six-day, three-game road swing tonight. On the flipside, the Hilltoppers were playing their fifth straight home game, as they improved to 12-13 with the win.
Banks' game-high 25 points came two nights after being held in single digits for the just the third time this season. Banks finished 8-of-15 from the floor and 9-of-10 from the free throw line, while also adding nine rebounds, including six offensive.
Freshman Christophe Varidel (Versoix, Switzerland/Worcester Academy) combined with Banks to supply 41 of the team's 70 points. Varidel supplied 16 points on 4-of-7 from the three-point arc, reaching double figures for the 13th straight game.
FGCU won most of the statistical battles except from downtown and the assist/turnover ratio, where three players helped WKU knock down 10-of-18 from long range. Sun Belt preseason Player of the Year Sergio Kerusch drilled all four of his treys in the second half en route to 20 points. Sophomore point guard Jamal Crook supplied nine assists to just one turnover to help the Hilltoppers produce more assists than turnovers (15-12).
Joining Kerusch in double figures for WKU was senior forward Juan Pattillo, who had 16 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Despite Pattillo's relentlessness on the boards, the Eagles finished with a 38-30 edge on the glass and 15 offensive rebounds. Sophomore Sherwood Brown (Orlando, Fla./Olympia HS) grabbed a career-high eight rebounds, while junior Kevin Cantinol had seven.
FGCU came out of the gates slow, committing eight turnovers by the eight-minute media timeout and allowing WKU to build a 31-15 lead. The Hilltoppers used a 17-5 run from the 13:36 mark that lasted until the 6:55 mark to build the largest lead of the game.
Foul trouble started to strike WKU and FGCU nearly equaled its point total from the first 13 minutes by climbing back into the game with a 12-8 run that cut it to a 33-27 game with 3:26 to play. Banks was the major catalyst during the run, accounting for eight points, including the final six.
With five players with at least two fouls and three on the Hilltoppers' leading rebounder Pattillo, Varidel brought the Eagles to within four, 37-33, with 28 seconds left on the half with his second three of the period.
WKU answered right back, though, in the final possession of the opening 20 minutes with McDonald drilling his third long rang field goal of the half to give the home team a 40-33 lead at the break. Banks finished the first half with 16 points, the most by an FGCU player in half this season, to help the Blue and Green overcome nine turnovers.
FGCU cut it to a two-possession game on two occasions in the first five minutes of the second half, until a 14-7 run by WKU took its lead from 56-49 (11:42) to 70-56 with 7:33 to play.
Faced with the second-largest deficit of the game, the Eagles climbed back into the game with a 12-1 run that lasted nearly three minutes. Three-pointers from Brown and Varidel on back-to-back possessions highlighted the run that capped with FGCU trailing by three, 71-68, with 4:07 on the clock. The three-point deficit was the Blue and Green's smallest since the 16:53 mark of the first half.
Unfortunately, the final 4:07 was unkind to the Eagles, as they managed just two points the rest of the way and watched WKU score the next nine points for the 80-70 win.
FGCU will returns to sunny Fort Myers for its next four games beginning with Campbell coming into Alico Arena on Saturday, Feb. 19. Gametime is slated for 5:15 p.m. and is the front part of a doubleheader with the women's program.

Will Take Charge proved that his Travers win wasn't a fluke in the Pennsylvania Derby (Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire).
With back-to-back wins in the Travers Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby, Will Take Charge has placed himself right in the thick of the race for the Eclipse Award as champion 3-year-old male.
The Unbridled's Song colt charged to the lead from the inside on Saturday at Parx Racing and shrugged off pacesetter Moreno to win the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby by 2 ¼ lengths.
Less than a month ago, Will Take Charge's name could not have been mentioned in any serious discussion for an Eclipse Award. Yet after winning the Travers on Aug. 24 and the Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 21, he's suddenly a title contender.
At this point, I'd rank Orb comfortably in front thanks to wins in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes, Grade 1 Florida Derby and Grade 1 Kentucky Derby. I think those three wins trump Will Take Charge's Grade 2 wins in the Rebel and Pennsylvania Derby plus the Grade 1 Travers, and it's not exactly a photo finish.
I give extra credit for the Kentucky Derby when considering the 3-year-old championship each year because it is both the race everyone wants to win and the hardest race to win.
A trainer has to have a 3-year-old with elite talent, who is peaking at the right time, run the race of his life. Sometimes, because of the congestion caused by a 20-horse field, even that is not enough.
But this weekend was Will Take Charge's chance to prove his Travers victory was no fluke and he did just that for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas and owner Willis Horton.
Ridden by Luis Saez, Will Take Charge rallied through an opening on the inside to confront Moreno in the stretch and steadily pulled away to win by a comfortable margin. He completed 1 1/8 miles in 1:49.28 for his fifth win in 13 races. He won his second straight $1 million race and the $562,000 Pennsylvania Derby winner's share boosted his career earnings to $1,827,371.
With Palace Malice and Orb slated to tackle older horses next weekend in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, we could have a much clearer picture of the 3-year-old division in just a few days. Stay tuned!
In the last ten years, quite a few very special fillies have won the Cotillion Stakes, including champions Ashado (2004), Havre de Grace (2010) and My Miss Aurelia (2011). Close Hatches might not win champion 3-year-old filly this year – it will be very tough to overtake Kentucky Oaks winner Princess of Sylmar – but there is no doubting her class following her victory in Saturday's Cotillion.
Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire
Close Hatches has now won the Grade 1 Mother Goose and the Grade 1 Cotillion in consecutive starts. With another graded stakes win in the Gazelle in April and more than $1 million in earnings this year, Close Hatches is no doubt a top-class filly. Who knows, a victory in the Breeders' Cup Distaff against older females might be enough to give Close Hatches a legitimate shot at the division championship. In head-to-head meetings, Close Hatches and Princess of Sylmar both have one victory.
Of course, there is a pretty nice filly out in Southern California who might have a big say in this race as well. Beholder has a pair of Grade 1 wins and a quality second in the Kentucky Oaks. Should she win the Distaff, Beholder would have an excellent claim on the 3-year-old filly Eclipse Award.
I was one of those who had handed the division title to Princess of Sylmar after her third straight Grade 1 win in the Alabama in August. Perhaps that coronation was a tad hasty. This is an excellent group of 3-year-old fillies.
Cluster of Stars turned in a visually impressive win in the Gallant Bloom Handicap on Sept. 21, surging well clear of Grade 1 winner Dance to Bristol for a dominant victory. Cluster of Stars halted Dance to Bristol's seven-race winning streak with remarkable ease to win the 6 ½-furlong race by five lengths for trainer Steve Asmussen and owner Turtle Bird Stables.
Cluster of Stars improved to six wins in as many starts and looks like a strong contender for the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. The 4-year-old Greeley's Galaxy filly was making her first start since she won the Grade 2 Distaff Handicap in April at Aqueduct.
Champion Shanghai Bobby returned last week for his first start since the Florida Derby on March 30. The Harlan's Holiday colt came through for trainer Todd Pletcher with a hard-fought neck win in the Aljamin Stakes on Sept. 20.
Pletcher was pleased with the performance following the long layoff. The trainer reported that Shanghai Bobby emerged from the race in good order and will probably target either the Breeders' Cup Sprint or the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.
Photo courtesy of NYRA/Coglinese Photos
Shanghai Bobby won all five of his starts in 2012, including the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the Champagne Stakes, en route to taking home the Eclipse Award as champion 2-year-old male. The Aljamin was his first win in three starts in 2013.
West Point Thoroughbreds' Suns Out Guns Out won an allowance race on the Pennsylvania Derby undercard and will be pointed to the Breeders' Cup Marathon.

- 1 large egg
- 8 unsalted matzos, crushed (about 3 cups)
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Safflower oil, for frying
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (4 to 5 ounces each), 1/2 inch thick
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
