Nick & Norah, Zack & Miri, and Madagascar 2Posted Tuesday, February 3, 2009, at 11:32 AM
Another week, another batch of new releases.
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
This is a quirky adventure comedy that has just enough off kilter charm to make it interesting, but not enough story to keep you interested. Thus, I was quite bored with this film. There is plenty of likable characters and scenarios, but overall, the flick tends to play out like you've seen it before. The movie strides to follow the path of Juno, but lacks any real emotional content and dives into lackluster territory. The plot basically follows two people who manage to meet and fall in love over the course of a bunch of zany events that are strung together by a ton of indie rock music. The two people are Nick and Norah and they don't seem to have a lot in common, but actually do. I've been looking forward to this film, but was not impressed. This is worth watching, but not great.
Zack & Miri Make a Porno
So I never thought I'd actually use the word Porno in these reviews, but thanks to this comedy, I was able to. Unfortunately there is an issue with the movie company behind this movie and that they don't rent their flicks at Movie Gallery because of an exclusive rental agreement with Blockbuster. Never fear though - Movie Gallery has got you covered and they'll actually have this flick available on Tuesday when it's released so you can still go rent it at the local Gallery, but I was unable to get a copy to preview for today, so I have no actual review for it yet. The description is as follows - Zack and Miri are two lifelong friends who are deep in debt and enlist the help of their friends to make a porno movie for some quick cash. But as everybody starts "doing" everybody, Zack and Miri realize that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought.
Sounds good and it's directed by Kevin Smith who made some pretty original comedies/dramas in the form of Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, and Chasing Amy. I'll be renting it today or tomorrow, you should too.
The Secret Life of Bees
THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES, based on the New York Times best selling novel and set in South Carolina in 1964, is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna. I didn't see this one either, but lots of people I've talked to enjoyed it so if it sounds like your type of movie, it probably is.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
It's interesting how this week has a lot of 'special' rental circumstances such as Madagascar. This flick does not release until Friday, instead of new release Tuesday and as such, Movie Gallery did not yet have a copy as of this morning, so I am stuck with not being able to write a review for this one as well. It did good at the box office so it's probably a worthy rental - description follows. In the highly-anticipated sequel to Madagascar, Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins and the chimps find themselves marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar. In the face of this obstacle, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane--sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all--the vast plains of Africa, where the members of our zoo-raised crew encounter species of their own kind for the very first time. Africa seems like a great place...but is it better than their Central Park home?
That's it for this week. I'll have more next Tuesday!

Zack and Miri is a fantastic movie. They really push the envelope a lot, but if you're a fan of Craig Robinson(Darryl Philbin on the office) you'll definitely want to check him out in this movie. As well as Seth Rogen(Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad) It's over all really good, but it's a movie that you want to approach with an open mind, as I recommend with all Kevin Smith films. Something to watch when the kids aren't home or when you're with your friends.

Former Iowa slaughterhouse manager back in Iowa
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) _ A former manager at an Iowa kosher slaughterhouse is set to appear in federal court after being extradited from Israel.
Hosam Amara has been indicted on charges of harboring people in the country illegally. He fought extradition from Israel, where he fled after a 2008 immigration raid at the former Agriprocessors Inc. meatpacking plant in Postville.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says he has been returned to Iowa, and he'll appear Friday in Cedar Rapids for an initial hearing and arraignment.
Prosecutors say Amara fled after federal agents arrested nearly 400 Agriprocessors workers on charges that they were in the country illegally. Amara was arrested in Israel on March 31, 2011.
Former Agriprocessors Vice President Shalom Rubashkin was sentenced to 27 years in prison on financial fraud charges following the raid.

We knew this was coming.
The Hansen-Ballmer group, which last month reached an agreement to purchase 65% of the Sacramento Kings at a franchise valuation of $525 million, has officially filed for relocation. This was announced by NBA Commissioner David Stern himself.
This move has been completely expected for some time now and comes as no surprise to anyone who has been following this story. The deadline to file for relocation was March 1st, but the Hansen-Ballmer group has been working fast to try to steamroll this process. Despite that, the sale and relocation will not be voted on until the Board of Governors meetings April 18th-19th, in which Sacramento will also present. A simple majority is needed to approve relocation but 3/4 is needed to approve a sale, meaning Sacramento needs 8 no votes to block the sale. If the sale is not blocked, relocation would likely be a formality.
Stern reportedly called the Hansen-Ballmer group "very strong", because it is. Seattle's group features multiple billionaires as well as a potential arena deal and a great basketball market. This is just another reason why Sacramento's counter-offer, yet to be announced, has to be as strong as possible. The Mayor's office had hoped to announced the partnership sometime in the past week, but that has been pushed back a couple of times and now may have to wait until next week. That's likely not due to any hang-ups or setbacks but rather the complexities of putting together such a massive deal in a short period of time and wanting to get everything ultra-solid. The Mayor's office has learned a valuable lesson from the Maloofs on the dangers of a premature announcement.
Mayor Johnson is planning to be at All-Star weekend to lobby anyone and everyone who will listen on the merits of Sacramento. I would hope that Sacramento's partners and arena deal are public by that time. In my personal opinion, a Sacramento group will likely have to match the $525 million franchise valuation regardless of the fact that a Sacramento owner would not have to immediately pay back the $77 million owed to the city or any relocation costs. That valuation increases the value for all NBA teams and the Board of Governors will want that. At 65%, a Sacramento ownership would have to come up with around $341 million. 25 local partners have already pitched in $1 million each with the large equity partner(s) throwing in the rest. The partnership the city is rumored to be targeting is a collaboration between Mark Mastrov and Ron Burkle. Mastrov has met with local business leaders and Burkle met with Commissioner Stern last week.
Some more Stern quotes:

Stern: This is not a bidding war. #NBASeattle #NBAKings— Chris Daniels (@ChrisDaniels5) February 7, 2013
Stern: The #Seattle application is to play in Key Arena, to play 2 years, possibly 3. #NBASeattle #NBAKings— Chris Daniels (@ChrisDaniels5) February 7, 2013
Stern: Series of issues that have to be considered, and support for team in prior city is a factor. #NBASeattle #NBAKings— Chris Daniels (@ChrisDaniels5) February 7, 2013
Stern: The application to transfer ownership requires 3/4 vote, the application to move requires majority vote. #NBAKings #NBASeattle— Chris Daniels (@ChrisDaniels5) February 7, 2013
Stern on #NBAKings - "That's why we have a board of governors, to make difficult decisions like this one."— Dale Kasler (@dakasler) February 7, 2013

"Deathly Hallows: Part 2" Sets First Weekend Record at Foreign Box OfficeDH Film
In addition to breaking the single day box office record, and the opening weekend record, "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" has earned $314 million in foreign box offices, setting a new first weekend record:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 outpaced even the most generous prognostications this weekend, setting a new weekend record with an incredible $314 million at the foreign box office. That's 20 percent up on the previous record-holder, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and 32 percent up on Half-Blood Prince's series record. Including its stunning domestic take, Deathly Hallows Part 2 also eclipsed Half-Blood Prince to set the worldwide opening weekend record with an astronomical $483.2 million. That improved to $542.2 million through Monday ($18 million domestic plus $41 million overseas), and the movie set a new record by passing the half-billion dollar mark in just six days.

Crews recovered the body of a missing kayaker south of Port Everglades Sunday.
A Good Samaritan discovered the body of David Lemonds in the water around 2: 30 p.m.
Broward Sheriff's Deputies recovered the body from the water about 15 minutes later. His body was turned over to the Medical Examiner's office .
His wife told CBS4 her husband was visiting Florida from South Carolina on a diving trip. The 47-year-old was an experienced diver and kayaker.
Authorities say local kayakers saw Lemonds leave John U. Lloyd Beach State Park in Dania Beach on Thursday morning in a 12-foot yellow ocean kayak. Park rangers alerted the Coast Guard on Friday morning after seeing that Lemonds' truck had remained undisturbed overnight.
Coast Guard sea and air crews searched the waters off the Dania Beach park. By Saturday night, the Coast Guard had searched 5,314 square nautical miles.
His family traveled to Florida from South Carolina, hoping to be reunited with him.
Now they will return with his body.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials are investigating the incident.

'Possession Paralysis': Why Is It So Hard To Part With … Stuff?

these were a surprise, glad I bought two sets fro my patio garden
These are terrific planters. They're not as heavy and solid as I thought they might be, but I'm not disappointed. They look great, they smell good, 'get lots of complements, and my tomato plants thrive in them. I purchased rolling plant dollies for underneath so they are easy to move around and rearrange on the terrace.
tHE rOUND cEDAR wHISKEY pLANTERS ARE GREAT. strong AND PERFECT SIZE, NOT TO BIG. lOOK gREAT
The planters are exactly as described, both beautiful and functional. They add a very distinctive touch to my backyard landscaping and I am very pleased with their quality. I planted various sizes of Chinese holly in them, and the plants are flourishing. I would recommend these barrels to anyone looking for a "pop" of style in their yard.
These were exactly as described; the shipping protected the planters very nicely. I have planted mostly green plants in them and the contrast against my white rock wall is beautiful. I am now waiting for them to be back "in stock" so I can order another set.
Box was waiting for me when I got home...Was thinking it looked kinda small. Surprised to find exactly what I was hoping for inside!!! Very well constructed, packaged and perfect sizes!!! Such nice looking wood, I don't even want to leave it outside! Very decorative. Only thing I regret is I didn't order more before it sold out! Had I known what I would be getting I would have, but this was my first time buying from Overstock....Very pleased...AND fast shipment!!!!! Thanks!

Chocolate-Pistachio Slice-and-Bake Cookies
Makes 72 cookies| Hands-On Time: | Total Time:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup pistachios
- 1/4 cup coarse or sanding sugar
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- With an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low, gradually add the flour mixture, and mix just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in the pistachios.
- Divide the dough in half; place each half on a sheet of parchment paper and form into a 2-inch-diameter log. Wrap the logs tightly and chill until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
- Heat oven to 350° F with the racks in the upper and lower thirds. Unwrap the dough and slice with a serrated knife into ⅜-inch-thick rounds. Place the rounds on the baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart, and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
- In 2 batches, bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are set, 11 to 13 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Storage suggestion: Keep the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Candace's huge victory over the PLA candidate who played the anti-Mormon social fear mongerig card speaks very highly of our community. Good job!
on Jun 6, 2012 at 6:58 am
This is a great day for Contra Costa County. Although I happen to agree with Tomi Van de Brooke on the particular social issues, I think she ran a loathsome campaign focusing on abortion rights, etc. What did this have to do with the responsibilities of the C.C. County Board of Supervisors? Also maybe this is an indication that the electorate is becoming tired of the stranglehold that Organized Labor has had on the electoral process with the resultant fiscal mess we have in California. Candace Anderson will be an outstanding Supervisor.

Sorry for the misspelling of Candace Andersen's name. She is great, my spelling not so.

Multi-level jQuery tabs: secondary level links not opening associated tab section
I'm trying to put together a multi-level jQuery tabbed navigation system on a page.
i.e. Link 1 | Link 2
If you hover over 'Link 2', the following would display:
Link 1 | Link 2
Link 2's Link 1 | Link 2's Link 2
Clicking on either 'Link 2's Link 1' or 'Link 2's Link 2' will take you to that tabbed section of the page; please note this doesn't result in a new page request, as the content of either of those links were previously hidden as the currently selected tab is 'Link 1', and so just become visible at this point.
The code is the following (note: streamlined for brevity):

A SpaceX space craft exploded in the air during testing on Friday at a Texas test site.
To meet rising consumer demand for the award-winning 2.0 liter ecoboost engine, Ford will invest nearly $200 million and add 450 new jobs at its Cleveland Engine Plant in Brook Park.
Production is slated to begin in late 2014.
Ford is more than halfway to its goal to create more than 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015.
Production of the 2.0-liter ecoboost engines is currently based in Alencia, Spain. They will continue to produce and ship parts for these engines. Their overall employment won't be affected.

Federal officials say Theresa Medsker, 51, is accused of embezzling approximately $654,192 in federal funds while working as the bookkeeper for the Schnurmann House in Mayfield Heights. A one-count criminal information was filed Friday.
Schnurmann House is a non-profit, inter-denomonational housing community consisting of 198 apartments for individuals age 62 and over that receives a substantial portion of its funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"This defendant was in a position of trust, and the charge lays out behavior that is a clear violation of that trust," said Steven Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. "This office will continue to hold accountable those that would betray the public's confidence, in whatever form."
The information charges that from on or about December 28, 2005 through on or about January 10, 2012, Medsker controlled Schnurmann House's bank accounts, and issued fraudulent checks from these accounts to herself.
Because all of the Schnurmann House checks required two signatures, one from the executive director and one from the administrative assistant, Medsker forged the signature of the executive director on the checks and presented them to the administrative assistant, who signed them believing that the executive director had already approved the checks, according to the information.
Then, Medsker cashed and deposited the Schnurmann House checks into her personal bank accounts.
In order to conceal her theft of funds from the Schnurmann House, Medsker altered and falsified the Schnurmann House's monthly bank statements by physically cutting and pasting vendor checks on top of the checks she wrote to herself, and making counterfeit copies of the bank statements, according to the information.
Medsker then submitted the altered bank statements to the executive director and the board as Schnurmann House's official financial records, according to the information.
Over the course of the fraud, Medsker deposited approximately 300 Schnurmann House checks made payable to her into her personal accounts totaling approximately $654,192, according to the information.
If convicted, Medsker's sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including defendant's prior criminal record, if any, defendant's role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation.

The Winter's Tale, Shakespeare's fairy tale of vengeful parents, rebellious children, wronged wives, Delphic oracles, living statues, and ferocious bears, is a tough nut for directors. The trick is to impose a unified style on this wild mix of plots, subplots, and incredible plot twists. In some ways, Barry Edelstein's revival at Classic Stage Company has a lot to offer. You have to admire the chicly minimal design, including Narelle Sissons' more-complex-than-it-looks rendering of an empty space and Jane Cox's delicately shaded lighting. There are many striking moments, when the entire company appears holding metronomes (a nod to the play's theme about the healing powers of time) or when a terrifying storm is evoked only through sound effects (by Elizabeth Rhodes) and three unfurled cords of flashing lights. However, Edelstein has apparently left the actors to their own devices, with dismaying results. David Strathairn blusters ineffectively as the jealousy-crazed King Leontes and Barbara Garrick's flat vocal delivery strips the character of Hermione, Leontes' wife, of her considerable charm. Mary Lou Rosato carries on extravagantly as Paulina, the lady-in-waiting who holds the keys to the plot's happy resolution. Teagle F. Bougere, Tom Bloom, and David Costabile make a notably unfunny trio of clowns. There's more trouble, after intermission, in a series of rustic comedy scenes marked by a jarring, we'll-try-anything approach that fails to produce any laughter. Characters wander in and out carrying stuffed animals, spouting Viennese accents, wearing fairy wings, belting out tin-ear renditions of Michael Torke's melodies, all to no effect. Mattie Ullrich's high-fashion costumes, so stylish in the first act, are desperate and gimmicky here. Even so, there's a chilling moment at the end, when Leontes and Hermione's long-dead son makes a final ghostly appearance, casting a shadow across the rather artificially arranged happy ending. Throughout, however, Edelstein's interesting concept is undermined by the absence of strong emotional support. As Winter's Tales go, it's easy on the eyes—and, except for a few isolated moments, easy to forget.

Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran, produced by The Play Company at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre, marks the New York debut of award-winning French playwright Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt (his Enigma Variations was announced for Broadway starring Donald Sutherland, a couple of seasons back, then went to the West End instead). This new work, which is currently running in Paris, is a brief, cloying monologue by Moise, a young Jewish man who recalls how his unhappy childhood was alleviated by friendship with an Arab grocer. Moise, abandoned by his spectacularly selfish parents, struggles to take care of himself; in contrast, Monsieur Ibrahim is a font of fatherly wisdom, an all-seeing, all-knowing Living Symbol with a wry aphorism for every occasion. Eventually he adopts Moise, who changes his name to Mohammed. There are cutesy encounters with golden-hearted prostitutes, winsome scenes of self-discovery, a poignant trip to the Middle East. At best, this is sentimental; at worst, it's offensive. Schmitt apparently intended some kind message about brotherhood transcending religions, but his story is too one-sided to have any effect. Ed Vassallo brings stage presence but no particular emotional conviction to the role of Moise/Mohammed. Still, the production design is classy. Neil Patel's remarkable eye for telling details—a blue tile floor, a distressed wall, and three Moorish lamps—vividly creates Moise's Paris digs. Lenore Doxsee's lighting fills out the stage pictures with warmth, color, and depth. Katherine Roth's single costume is well-chosen and Robert Kaplowitz's sound is perfectly fine. Don't expect this production to set off any demand for Schmitt's plays, however. —David Barbour
Seen at the Movies: The Recruit represents one type of January major-studio offering—high-powered cast (Al Pacino, Colin Farrell), high-concept thriller plot, probably slated for a fall release until somebody actually looked at it. Directed by the capable Roger Donaldson, the movie is not exactly terrible, it's just lame. It's all about computer cryptologist Farrell's recruitment to the CIA by company veteran Pacino, and the intrigue, deceit, etc. that follows. The movie never rises above it's-all-a-game scenarios, so nothing vital seems at stake. It's a phone-in performance for Pacino, who acts in his default bluster mode, but half-heartedly. As for Farrell, it's time for him to stop coasting in rising-star mode and actually get there (better choice of material would help). He's in danger of becoming the next Matthew McConaughey. DP Stuart Dryburgh, production designer Andrew McAlpine, and costume designer Beatrix Pasztor all do professional jobs, even if no one can disguise the resemblance of the movie's Washington, DC, setting to Toronto. —John Calhoun

Seen on DVD: Jack Pierce: The Man Behind the Monsters chronicles an odd, fascinating project--a Pasadena multimedia stage production from 2000 about the Universal Studios makeup artist who created the look for the Frankenstein Monster, the Mummy, the Wolfman, the Bride of Frankenstein, and many others. In the production, an actor playing Pierce narrates the story of his life, while other performers act out scenes from the classic movies. Conceived, written, and directed by Scott Essman, the one-time performance appears to have been awkwardly acted and fairly hokey, and the video preservation of it is not of the highest sound or picture quality. —JC
Yet the real news is the loving, largely successful recreation of the makeups and costumes, supervised by Robert Burman and Jennifer McManus. The participation of a number of artists, including Kevin Haney, Ve Neill, Brent Armstrong, James Hall, Todd Tucker, and Marvin Westmore, was elicited to help reconstruct and apply the makeups, though the behind-the-scenes material doesn't really delve into how closely they followed Pierce's methods (to the end of his career, for example, he eschewed appliances). One unusual aspect of the production is that actors were chosen who looked nothing like their real-life counterparts, so that even the look of such non-monstrous characters as Frankenstein's Colin Clive, The Wolfman's Claude Rains, scene-stealing hysteric Una O'Connor, and Pierce himself are reproduced in the makeup chair. Unfortunately, that helps lend the acting an artificial quality.
The DVD's extras include a segment from a This Is Your Life tribute to Boris Karloff in 1957, during which Pierce presents the actor with a neck electrode, and a 1962 radio interview with the artist, who was working on the TV show Mr. Ed at the time. After heading the makeup department for 19 years, Pierce had been unceremoniously dismissed in 1947 when the studio regime changed hands. By that point, Universal's horror output had been consigned to B-picture status, and reduced to Mummy and Frankenstein sequels and silly monster pairings ad nauseum. The revival of the classic movies on television in the 1950s renewed interest in Pierce, and helped inspire the careers of new generations of makeup artists, from Dick Smith to Rick Baker. But it wasn't until after his death in 1968 that his contributions truly grew to be appreciated. Jack Pierce is scheduled to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in October 2003. The DVD can be ordered at www.jackpierce.com. --JC

City of Lyman defends Police officer
The city of Lyman says its officer acted in self defense when he fatally shot a rotweiler that lunged at him several times late last month. Lyman city attorney Audrey Elliott issued a two page statement Tuesday in response to media reports and a complaint filed with the city by the dog's owner Raul Ayala.
Ayala claimed in the complaint that Huffman lacked experience to handle the situation and should have asked for help from animal control. Elliott said when Huffman observed the animal was loose he tried to contact the owners by phone and did request assistance before the dog lunged and grabbed his arm. Elliott says he used pepper spray to calm the animal down, but he kept lunging at him, once at his face.
Elliott says there were two witnesses to the incident, and an edited video of Huffman tracking the dog after it had been shot from one of eight security cameras at the residence. Elliott says Huffman has over 20 years law enforcement experience and the city is defending his actions unless there is other video or evidence that show something different.
No litigation is pending.

Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott grew up in Longview, just like any other normal kid, but then an accident when he was 26-years-old left him partially paralyzed from the waist down.
It is a part of life he is not shy about. In fact, Abbott even jokes about it at campaign events.
"You've heard politicians before talking about having a spine of steel," he said. "I really do have a steel spine that i will put to work for you and all Texans every single day."
The then 26 year-old Abbott had gone for a run in Houston when the accident happened; an oak tree suddenly fell right on top of him.
It is something he is very open about. His team even produced a campaign video to explain the story, a tragedy that took him from a healthy and athletic young man, to permanently paralyzed below the waist and recovering in the hospital.
In fact, the event is had such an impact on his life, he made his campaign announcement on the 29th anniversary of the accident.
His ability to overcome, he credits largely to his wife, Cecilia.
"For better or for worse, in sickness and in health. It's so easy to recite them, but it is awe inspiring to see your spouse live up to those vows, which is exactly what Cecilia Abbot has done," Abbott said.
It has also been something he has learned from.
"I have been able to persevere over tough challenges," Abbott said. "I have cemented in me the same spirit that all Texans have and that is, we take on all those fights and that is because we have strength from within."
A trait he said he has applied to his work in government as well.
"Ive been a fighter, for the values of our communities, for what makes Texas unique," Abbott said. "We need to carry on that tradition of strong leadership in Austin, Texas, to keep Texas different from the growing bureaucracy we see in Washington D.C."
Abbott added that he lives by the motto that lives are not defined by the hour one is challenged, but by how one responds to the challenges one faces.

Film Screening: Some Like It Hot
Film Screening: Some Like It Hot
Join Friends of the High Line for an open-air film screening glamorously paying homage to the history of the High Line, which once carried freight trains delivering dairy, meat, produce, and other goods into the warehouses and factories on Manhattan's West Side.
Considered one of the greatest American comedies of all time, Some Like It Hot is the classic screwball comedy, in which Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon play two musicians on a cross-dressing mission to save themselves from the mafia, and encounter the never-better Marilyn Monroe in the sleeper car of a passenger train bound for a Florida resort. Directed by Billy Wilder, Some Like It Hot debuted in 1959.
The new short film, All Aboard! will be screened before the feature presentation, starting at 6:30 PM.
Paying homage to the history of trains in cinema, All Aboard! is a 28-minute compilation of iconic scenes from more than 100 films, ranging from cinematic classics to modern favorites. Featuring moments of passion, sorrow, humor, and more, All Aboard! shows how station platforms, rail corridors, train compartments, and box cars are so often the backdrop for pivotal scenes in film. All Aboard! was directed by Tony Impavido, produced by Wendy Keys, and edited by Brian Angioletti.
14th Street Passage
On the High Line at 14th Street
This High Line Program is free and open to visitors of all ages. No RSVP required. Seating is available on a first-come, first served basis.
Some Like It Hot is being screened as part of the Trains on Film Series, which included the premiere of All Aboard! on Friday, September 16, and the revival screening Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train on Friday, September 30.
The Trains on Film Series is generously supported by UNIQLO as part of a two-year partnership that supports the ongoing maintenance and operations of the High Line.

Take better photos: Fujifilm FinePix X100
Photo courtesy of: FlickrDitch your Instagram account, swear off food shots and start lugging around a good old-fashioned camera. We're not saying go analog, as there have been a ton of advancements made to compact cameras over the years, but we're just telling you not to rely on your iPhone for photography. Last year the Fujifilm FinePix X100 entered the ring of compact cameras and blew all its competitors out of the water. Its retro look was a hit with buyers looking for a sleek design and its 12.3 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor kept every other photo enthusiast happy too. The camera has a fixed 23 mm F/2 lens, which is great for bright colorful shots and is perfect for those who are more hands on and already know a thing or two about photography.

Films will automatically be sent to the player via broadband, which "mirrors the public Box Office availability window so Members can enjoy films as long as they are available in the public Box Office."

Christmas Opening & Starlight Santa
Christmas Opening with our Starlight Santa: October 31, 2014 (premier numbers available from 5pm – 8pm and all day Saturday and Sunday)
Vaillancourt Folk Art is known for doing Christmas in a big way. With breathtaking decorative themes changing each year, their gallery is truly transformed into a winter wonderland that is a cherished experience for thousands of families a year. In addition, philanthropy has always played an important role for the Vaillancourts, which is why Judi has created the annual Starlight Santa each year since 1990. The Christmas Opening kicks off the season with the first glimpse of the decorations and the availability of purchasing the premier numbers of the annual Starlight Santa.
Starlight Santas
Judi Vaillancourt designs a special chalkware Santa with a portion of the proceeds donated to a charity focused on Children. A limited edition that is retired on Christmas Day (never to be produced again!), the Starlight Santa has become one of the most sought after collectibles in the domestic Christmas market. Premier numbers are available only to those in attendance of the Christmas Opening.
In 1990, Vaillancourt Folk Art partnered with The Starlight Children's Foundation—a non-profit organization dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families cope with pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. In 2013, Vaillancourt Folk Art is excited to announce a new partner which will ensure donations will help children locally. Since starting the Starlight Santa, Vaillancourt Folk Art has had the opportunity to grant wishes and sponsor "Fun Centers—"mobile entertainment units containing a flat-screen television, DVD player and Nintendo system.

Tuesday night's VEISHEA riots in Ames brought back some painful memories for those in Cedar Falls that experienced similar riots years earlier.
Rioting crowds flipped cars in Campustown, just blocks from the Iowa State campus. Police say they had to fight through the crowd to reach the injured.
"Unfortunately, the true purpose of VEISHEA has been overshadowed by too many acts of this natures, which jeopardizes the safety of our students and the entire Ames community," ISU President Steve Leath said in a press conference. He then canceled the remaining 2014 VEISHEA activities.
Seeing the rioters, brought Cedar Falls Police Chief Jeff Olson back to the day in 1996. Homecoming crowds spilled out into the streets of the College Hill neighborhood.
"As the crowd got out of control, you know we had to regroup and figure out how to attack that," Olson said. Because when you have several thousand people and maybe 20 police officers. That's very difficult to do much."
Crowds in Cedar Falls wrecked vehicles and broke out the windows of business and police cars. Olson said outnumbered officers have to walk a fine line.
"You don't want to aggravate the crowd more," Olson said. "Yet, you know you've got to make a determination where do we step in, when do we try to do that."
1996 was a learning experience. Now, officers are prepared with training and equipment. But 1996 were a learning experience....now they're prepared...With training and gear. They even plan to put officers on elevated lookout positions if they anticipate trouble.
Still, in recent years, it hasn't been an issue.
Technology has changed as well. Olson said with so many people shooting video, rioters can be held accountable for their actions. On the other side though, posts on social media can attract more people to the problem area.
"So that kind of complicates things in that regard," Olson said. "But the video is certainly an advantage when we get a hold of it."

A taxi driver is in custody Wednesday after investigators from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Cook County Sheriff's office intercepted a package containing $20,000 worth a plant that causes amphetamine-like effects.
Hassan Khalif-Mohamud is expected to appear in court Wednesday after he allegedly accepted the package during a sting in downtown Chicago, according to a sheriff's office release. He is being held without bond for violating his probation terms from a 2010 charge of possessing a controlled substance.
Homeland Security agents seized the package on the East Coast on Nov. 14 as it made its way from France to an address in the 2600 block of West 15th Street, the release said.
Sheriff's police then took control of the package two days later at O'Hare International Airport and discovered it contained 43 pounds of khat, a shrub native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the release said.
Investigators determined that the package was ultimately meant for Khalif-Mohamud, the sheriff's office claims, and authorities took him into custody after he allegedly paid $150 to an undercover investigator who delivered the package.
Khat can cause feelings of euphoria, hyperactivity and increased alertness and energy once it is ingested, the release said, adding that the effects can last as long as three hours. People who use the plant as a drug will chew the plant's leaves and shoots or make it into tea or a chewable paste.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

BEST DRESSED Summer Barbecue With Débè
Summer is here, so, it's the perfect time to fire up the grill, invite a few friends over and have a barbecue. Thursday Life has partnered with Best Dressed Chicken to share some mouth-watering recipes you can try out. This week, we journeyed to the cool climes of Mandeville to see what delectable creations Jamaica Observer Food Awards Caterer of the Year Débè-Ann Chen had up her sleeve. We share Chen's creations and invite you to join Best Dressed Chicken each Thursday for tasty outdoor options.
Jackfruit Chicken Kebabs
1 1/2" Best Dressed Chicken deboned breast, diced
Green seasoning*
Worcestershire sauce
All-purpose seasoning
Pegged jackfruit
Orange juice
Salt and black pepper
Onion, cut in wedges
Sweet pepper, cut in squares
Wooden skewers soaked
Season chicken with green seasoning, sauce and all-purpose seasoning and marinate for at least 2 hours.
Combine orange juice and honey, salt and black pepper to taste, and warm on stove with jackfruit until just hot, but not boiling.
Cover and let cool.
Set the skewers with onion, sweet pepper, chicken, and jackfruit — 2 pieces of each fruit and vegetable with 3 pieces chicken.
Grill on high temperature, while turning and brushing with marinade until cooked.
Serve with rosemary orange juice.
Grilled Teriyaki Thighs
Deboned Best Dressed Chicken thighs, fat trimmed
Teriyaki marinade
Mixed greens
Cole slaw dressing
Toasted pecans
Marinate chicken overnight.
Grill on hot coals till done, top with fresh marinade.
Julienne over slaw top with pecans.
Marinated Grilled Veggies
Sweet Peppers (all colours)
String beans
Balsamic Vinaigrette**
Any combination of three or more of the vegetables are enough for the recipe.
Slice veggies thin, except for the broccoli, which should be cut into medium-sized flowerettes.
Cut sweet peppers in halves and deseed.
Marinate in dressing overnight or for a minimum of two hours.
Grill until tender and lightly charred.
Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.
Julienne sweet peppers to serve.
Green seasoning*
Scallion, garlic, onion, and thyme in whatever ratio you like, blended with water.
This mixture can last for months in the refrigerator and can be used to season any type of meat. It is easy to prepare and use, there is less waste, and you can prepare a lot and refrigerate when scallion is cheap. Also, it makes meat more flavourful as the seasoning penetrates meats better like this.
Balsamic Vinaigrette**
Regular vinaigrette with balsamic, for over the top flavour, add tarragon, garlic and sugar to taste.
Chicken Pinwheel - A new twist on an old favourite!
1 flattened Best Dressed Chicken deboned breast
Débè's green seasoning*
All-purpose/chicken seasoning
1 pot, spoon-cooked callaloo (steamed with onion and garlic only. NO OIL, NO SALT)
2 half-cooked strips of bacon (reserve bacon drippings)
1 oz Parmesan cheese, fresh or dried
Season flattened breast with green and all-purpose seasonings.
Spread cool callaloo on breast and top with cheese and bacon.
Roll breast to get a long thin shape and secure with toothpicks.
Slice and grill on high temperature for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, brushing with bacon drippings or garlic butter.
Serve as is, or with a sauce (If you're not a big sauce person a light barbecue sauce would be fine).
Chicken Liver Pâté with Artesian Bread Crostini
1/2 pound Best Dressed Chicken liver, well trimmed
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
1 small garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf or cinnamon leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves
Kosher salt
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Cognac or Scotch whisky
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup cream (optional)
*Artesian Bread Crostini for serving
In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken liver, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liver is barely pink inside, about after three minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for five minutes.
Discard the bay leaf. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the liver, onion and garlic to a food processor; process until coarsely puréed. With the machine on, add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, until incorporated. Add the Cognac, season with salt and pepper, and process until completely smooth. Scrape the pâté into two or three large ramekins. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pâté and refrigerate until firm.
Serve chilled.
Prepare ahead — The pâté can be covered with a thin layer of melted butter, then wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for up to two months.
Pulled Chicken
1 whole Best Dressed Chicken cut in two halves
Débè's Green seasoning*
All-purpose/chicken seasoning
Onion, garlic & bay leaf
Brown sugar
Season cleaned chicken halves overnight with green seasoning, all-purpose, paprika, and grill low and slow on a bed of onion, garlic and bay leaf.
Pour beer over chicken and wrap tightly in foil.
Cook until fork-tender.
Skin and debone while warm, then shred.
Add your favourite barbecue sauce with a dash of crushed red pepper and a bit of the cooking liquid.
Serve as a sandwich, on a hamburger roll or on an Artisan Bread Crostini.
Watermelon Wedge Salad
1/2 small watermelon, rind removed
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled to taste
1/2 cup crème fraîche
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped (prepare more for serving)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Set the watermelon on a cutting board and cut side down. Quarter the watermelon, place each quarter on its side and halve each quarter crosswise (so you have eight thick wedges total).
In a medium bowl, stir together the feta cheese, cream, crème fraîche, lemon juice and chives.
Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, place 2 wedges of watermelon on each plate. Drizzle with feta dressing, and sprinkle with chives and basil leaves.
Serve immediately.
