Sochi history 1945 - 1985
Госпитальная база свернула работу в 1946 г. В трудных условиях послевоенной разрухи государство нашло возможность выделить средства для восстановления курорта.
Важную роль в обеспечении отдыха и лечения на курорте играли пансионаты. Большинство из них располагало собственной лечебной базой и являлось лечебно-оздоровительными учреждениями санаторного типа. Начало развиваться гостиничное хозяйство. В 60-е гг. вводятся в эксплуатацию гостиницы: «Ленинград», «Кубань», «Сочи», «Хоста», «Магнолия», «Кавказ», «Горизонт», «Бирюза», «Прибой», а несколько позднее - «Камелия», «Чайка», «Жемчужина», «Москва», «Дагомыс».
В конце 80-х гг. город принимал на отдых и лечение около 5 млн. человек ежегодно, в том числе свыше 200 тыс. иностранных граждан. Бальнеофизиотерапевтическое объединение «Мацеста» в 9 ванных зданиях отпускало свыше 18 тыс. процедур ежедневно. В городе функционировало более 200 санаторно-курортных учреждений на 90 тыс. мест.

The first settlers on the territory of Sochi appeared 400-350 thousand years ago in lower Paleolithic age. A plenty of artifacts and archeological monuments were discovered and studied here: caves, open sites, ancient settlements, dolmens, ruins of fortresses and temples, burial grounds and mounds. Archeological works conducted in the area of Sochi denoted the territory as unique in variety, number and concentration of archeological monuments, 200 of which are registered and looked after. Among them are a Roman-Byzantine fortress on the river Godlik, a medieval cathedral in the settlement of Lo'o and etc.
In the period of 4-1cc BC on the northeast Black Sea coast tribes of Geniokhs inhabited the major part of the area modern Sohi occupies. Aboriginal historical monuments well preserved to our days must be comprehensively studied.
Starting the second half of the 16th century the Caucasus turned into the cockpit for Russia, Turkey and Persia; as the result of the war the Black Sea coast from the mouth of the river Kuban to the fort of Saint Nikolay passed to Russia. Later, in the 19th century several forts were built in Sochi, their ruins are regarded as historical monuments. After the Caucasian war of 1864 the aboriginal population was forced to leave their mother land. Native dwellers were replaced by the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Byelorussians, the Armenians, The Georgians, the Greeks and other nationalities forming a cosmopolite people stock of modern Sochi.
The end of the war marked the beginning of study of the Black Sea coast therapeutic factors. However, Russian government wasn't able to develop the new lands on its own and, in order to fix the problem, entrepreneurs and businessmen of that time were offered to invest money in the Sochi Region. Russian bourgeoisie saw the true value of the land; that is why so many estates, which used to belong to famous families of the past can still be found in this rich and beautiful land.
An important role in Sochi's becoming a resort was assigned to the special commission conducting the study, with start in 1898, of the Black Sea coast right from Novorossiysk to Sukhumi. The survey proved that, due to natural resources the Black Sea coast possessed, balneotherapeutic and climatic health resorts could be constructed there.
Sochi got the city status July 31, 1917, when estates of rich Russian noblemen, counts along with imperial mansion Dagomys were determined as a part of the city. In the end of 19 – the beginning of 20cc. the peculiar architecture style of Sochi was being formed. The main principle of the construction implied creation of the city - garden. The architecture style was specified by pavilion-shaped houses special to parks, as architects tried to make the layout of the city and the natural landscape form a perfect whole.
After the revolution of 1917 the city was intensively reconstructed, especially in 1930s. The soviet government sponsored building of numerous sanatoriums, bridges (civil architecture monuments) and other complex facilities. Sochi becomes the all-soviet health resort.
In 1961 Sochi annexed the districts of Adler and Lazarevskoye and, according to the new borders, stretched for over 150 kilometers along the Black Sea coast.
Now Sochi is developing very fast, as it hopes to hold Olympic games-2014.

The Packers are still not close to full strength due to injuries, but they are slowly but surely getting healthier, which should help them Sunday evening against arch nemesis Brett Favre and the Vikings. The return of LBs Clay Matthews and Brandon Chillar adds badly needed fire and flexibility to Dom Capers' defense, which I have a feeling might have a big night on what could be a slippery, rain-soaked Lambeau Field.
I see both Matthews and the recently beleaguered Charles Woodson having big games. I also see Aaron Rodgers outdueling Brett Favre, who could be under a lot more pressure than he was in the two games last year. I see WRs Greg Jennings and Donald Driver having an edge if the field is wet, and don't be surprised if the Packers get a surprising lift from their Brandon Jackson-led ground game. It could go down to the wire again, but it just seems like the Packers are due to win a close one.
Prediction: Packers 27, Vikings 23

Investigators discovered new evidence after searching Cabero Road in Pulaski County Friday night. Middle Georgia State College Police said a missing college student from Austell is dead. They announced murder charges against another student late Thursday, despite a body not being found.
Robert Kane Rolison, 17, is charged with murder in the death of Jmaal Keyes, 19. Keyes, a freshman, was last seen April 25 at Middle Georgia State College in Cochran. Both Rolison and Keyes attended the small school, although police have not said if the two knew each other.
Rolison's family has property on Cabero Road, but the newly discovered evidence was not found on Rolison's property according to GBI. Investigators believe the items found are relavent to the investigation and were turned over to the state crime lab.Todd Lowery, Special Agent in Charge of the GBI Eastman Regional Office, told CBS Atlanta News a body had not been recovered, but they were following various leads. He would not say what lead authorities to charge Rolison with murder without a body. "It is unusual to do that, but not unheard of," he said.
There is nothing to suggest more arrests will be made or anyone else was involved, according to Lowery.
Police have also not commented on a possible motive. In a written release, they said following up on numerous leads helped them make the arrest.
Rolison, from Hawkinsville, is a dual-enrolled high school/college student. He was booked into the Bleckley County Jail.
John Black, MGSC Interim President, released the following statement:
"We are absolutely devastated by this news. There just are no words to describe how deeply hurt we are and how terrible we feel for Jmaal's family. I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to everyone in his family, and everyone who knew Jmaal. We ask everyone in the Middle Georgia community to keep this family in their thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come. We will cooperate in every way to help law enforcement authorities complete their investigation."
The arrest Rolison for the murder of Keyes is not the outcome members of Destiny World Church have prayed all week.
That major development is the last thing this Senior Pastor Wilbur Purvis anticipated.
"Very shocking," Purvis said. "We were very hopeful and optimistic that we would get better news."
Purvis was with the family when authorities called with the awful news.
He told CBS Atlanta Friday Jmaal's mother immediately turned to her faith instead of hatred.
"She was very adamant when she spoke with her children about not being bitter not being angry and excepting this as something that has occurred and believing her faith in God will get her through this moment," Purvis said.

North Chicago's JaVairius Amos-Mays (right) shoots one over Lakes' Jake Kohler during their boys basketball game at North Chicago. | Michael Schmidt~Sun-Times Media
If ever the final score did not accurately reflect the action on the court, it was Thursday night's North Suburban Conference Prairie Division showdown between Lakes and No. 19 North Chicago.
Final score: North Chicago 78, Lakes 61.
And now, the rest of the story.
North Chicago (8-1) led 16-14 after one quarter, 31-25 at halftime, 53-48 after three quarters and by just 55-53 with 6:30 left to play.
But just when it looked as though Lakes (7-3) was going to claim the top perch in the division, the Warhawks scored 23 of the game's next 28 points to skew the final score in favor of the home team.
Last month, North Chicago beat Lakes in a Thanksgiving-week tournament. The teams will play again at least once, and most likely twice, with the final meeting coming in the IHSA Class 3A sectional.
By then .... Who knows where these two teams will be?
For North Chicago on Thursday, Kurt Hall had 13 of his 17 points in the second half, and long-range bomber JayQuan McCloud netted 12 of his 14 points after the break.
JaVairius Amos-Mays added 13 points and 20 boards, role-player Jarrod Colemen had 10 points and 14 boards, and Emanuel January scored 16 points off the bench.
North Chicago was too big for Lakes, and the 48-31 rebounding edge — including 26 on offense — was a key.
For the Eagles, Andrew Spencer had 16 points and Direll Clark contributed 15 points.
"We have no energy right now. That's two games in a row we played with no urgency," said North Chicago coach King Coleman, whose team was blown out by unheralded Providence-St. Mel on Sunday.
"They (his players) are very talented, and they can turn it on for a couple of minutes, and then they go back to their non-energy playing. It's not anything I'm worried about right now."
On the other side, Lakes coach Chris Snyder was satisfied with his team's effort.
"We got out-physicaled tonight. That was probably the disappointing thing," Snyder said. "We showed some flashes, but we just weren't consistent enough. It gets tough after awhile when you spend so much energy getting the deficit down.
"In the end, we kind of ran out of gas. We still have work to do. We'll see them again down the line, but we have a lot of basketball to play before then."

And on the negative side, we also saw: -Relatively small elevator cabins; -Irritation on the waiter's face when we didn't order dessert at the same time we ordered the appetizers and entrees; -Different items on 2 parallel buffets in the same dining room; -Watered-down orange juice in the morning; -Only 4 coffee machines in all of the breakfast dining area. -Locked coffee machines outside of breakfast hours. -Exactly the same lunch buffet all week, except for the type of roasted meat. -Exactly the same 11 dancers, 2 male and 2 female acrobats and the same singer for 6 shows out of 7. Only the costumes and the backdrops changed in of those (only) 30 minute shows. -The Maitre D' and his assistants walked around the dining room with their backs and necks straight as if they had all swallowed a broomstick. At best, we got a nod and a hint of a smile if we took the initiative to say hello. -A very narrow menu choice of 2 appetizers, one soup, one salad, 3 entrEes and one sweet dessert. The left-hand side of the menu is entitled "Stars and Stripes Menu". The title says it all: Burger, steak, spaghetti and meatballs, etc. -A under-used giant outdoor screen. Every time I looked up, there was an ad for the spa, the casino, à la carte restaurants, etc... They could put short features like music shows instead of their never ending ads.
We didn't see: -Food and drink in the main theater; -Smoked salmon in the morning buffet; -Any type of Blue Cheese (E.G. Gorgonzola, Roquefort or Danish) except in salad dressings; -A smile or greeting from the Captain when we saw him in public areas (It was rather some sort of a brief glance, as if he was above all of us). Someone ought to remind him where MSC gets the money for his paycheck. -Any greeting or "Bon AppEtit" from the Maitre D' or any of his assistants that are all lined up at the dining room entrance; -A stage band in the main theater. All the music during shows is recorded. -Waiters going around the breakfast buffet area refilling coffee cups.

Used car dealers lead Oregon consumer complaints
Mar 17, 2013
SALEM — Used-car dealers top the list of Oregon businesses receiving the most consumer complaints filed with the state.
The Oregon Department of Justice received 11,625 consumer complaints in 2012, according to the Statesman Journal.
Complaints about telemarketers accounted for the largest share, but only about one-third of those complaints were about Oregon-based businesses.
More than one-third of the used-car dealer complaints centered on failure to disclose previous damage. Consumers also complained about failure to provide a title and about cars that did not meet Department of Environmental Quality emission standards.
Many complaints about used-car dealers could be avoided if consumers would have vehicles inspected by a mechanic before they buy them, said Dan Nicholson, president of the Oregon Independent Automobile Dealer Association.
"You do your best to try to keep your customers happy," the Redmond car dealer said. "But there's many times where customers' expectations are a little high. If you're selling a car with a hundred thousand miles on it, there may be some things wrong with the car."
Others high on the complaints list were video rental stores, timeshare resellers, magazine subscription services and hair, nail and skin care services.
Hollywood Video, which has been out of business for three years, accounted for all but two of the complaints about video rental companies. Collection agencies still are aggressively trying to collect on old rental accounts.
Universal Timeshare Sales Associates of Beaverton accounted for almost 90 percent of the complaints against timeshare resellers. Timeshare resellers offer to sell and market vacation properties or timeshares.
"Usually the company is contacting people and saying they have ready buyers," said Kyle Kavas, Oregon public relations manager for the Better Business Bureau. "They collect a fee but they never submit any paperwork or contract."

The Kurdish Globe
Interview by: Shorsh Ghafuri
The parents of my novel?s character die in the river in the 1970s.
Globe: Is a novel the mirror of the novelist, i.e. is it the place where we can find the image of the novelist?
Masifi: Once I was reading a work by Mawlana Romi. It says: ?You only clean a mirror, whether in daily works, writing or anything else. So the better you clean the mirror the better you will see yourself inside it.?
Globe: But sometimes, if we clean the mirror too much, it will show the ugly side of our face, which might force us to lose our hope and stop writing?
Masifi: We need to face this reality.
Globe: But reality is very hard for man and he might not tolerate it?
Masifi: Let me talk about my novel like a mirror. In fact I was not intending to write a novel. I was feeling that there is something in my soul that makes me write it. Some things happened that I decided to disclose them when I finish my novel. In Canada I was only writing short stories. The story of my novel was about a simple person called Dilshad. I created parents for him, but I left it after a while. When I came back to it I named his father Nabi. I was sitting in a park in Masif, and was again thinking of stopping it, because I had some other commitments and could not spend all my time with the novel. In the past the Bastora River was as large as the Badinan River and one could not cross it.
The parents of my novel?s character die in the river in the 1970s. Next day, my brother suggested that we go to Erbil. We passed by the river and on the bridge there was a black banner about a funeral for the death of someone called Nabi. There I felt that the beauty of arts is that it makes the artist to use imagination and gain anticipation power. What you write is related to your soul. Once I went to a seminar by a famous person called Deepak Chopra who has two novels.
In fact he is not a novelist, but a neurologist who has a center for helping people in California where he gives lectures. He does not much involved with arts. During his seminar, I thought that those who are involved in writing can do great works. Novel is one of these things. The world is full of events and stories and it is really nonsense if one just reads it. There is an immortal secret in that.
Globe: Do you agree with the idea that arts is for arts?
Masifi: No, I don?t think so. The sample I gave you exactly shows that Kazantzakis did not write for arts I feel that arts is a message, like the religious books. It has a message that purifies the souls.
Globe: You mean that writers and artists give people advices?
Masifi: No, arts is a very big humane process. I cannot give absolute labels to things. For instance the salad we are now eating has different ingredients, each of which has a different taste and a message. But novel is part of the beauty that currently exists on earth.
Globe: Arts does not work for arts and novel should tell the truth to reflect our childhood shocks and our life?s reality. In your opinion, in which Kurdish novel are these aspects reflected?
Masifi: In fact, this classification has not been made for the Kurdish novels. In the past, I have read the novels of Yashar Kamal and Arabi Shamo and they have stayed in my memory as good novels. I have also read a novel by Khasraw Jaff, ?Zhani Gal? and some others, but since there isn?t a clear classification for the Kurdish novel, one cannot easily make such a decision. I feel that Kurdish novels, like the foreign novels, have these aspects. The problem is the language, which Kurds, like anything else, do not dare to work on, otherwise we have good novels with these characteristics.
Globe: Why you haven?t worked on your novel. You know everything about it and about its hidden feelings from A to Z? Your English is also very good; so why you have not tried to translate it to this language?
Masifi: When I went to Canada I tried to write in English, but unfortunately I did not have the chance to go to an academic place where I can learn academic writing in English. I have only tried this and I still have the dream of writing in English, but translation is not the job of a novelist. I can?t understand how novelists do translations. This rarely happens elsewhere. For instance Orhan Pamuk knows English very well as he lived in the US since he was young, but he did not write his novels in English. Another Turkish novelist called Zulfu Livaneli, who had a TV program at the Turkish Channel A.
He wrote a novel in English, and I saw it in many libraries. But it did never become famous. But Pamuk writes in Turkish and he became very famous. A woman called Maureen Freely translates Pamuk?s novels. She is a professor in English language and she is fluent in Turkish as well. After translating Pamuk?s novels, Freely wrote many novels, but they did not become popular, because she is a translator and not a novelist. Besides, I do not like to work on many things.
Globe: Does a novelist need a person or an organization to help him arrange his works or he needs to do everything by himself?
Masifi: The first option is better, i.e. the novelist should not do everything by himself. He should develop the novel, tell the story and leave the rest to specialized people or institutions. Publishers have editors and proofreaders who should take the linguistic responsibilities. Now English, German and French have universal standards which they follow. For instance, a novelist might use some words that are not suitable with today?s market, so the editors and proofreaders change these words to more fit ones.
For instance Pamuk has a character in one of his novels called Blue, who is a terrorist, while Blue does not exist in the original version of the work. This is done by the publisher. But the publisher gets the permission of the author for doing that. But unfortunately Kurdish novelists are deprived of this and they strive so that their works is published in any way even with mistakes. Some people do not bother with these issues. In some publishing houses, the owners do whatever they want to do and some put a large sign reading ?we do not publish poetry books.?
We need people to do these jobs and use their creativity and pure language skills to improve the Kurdish writings. Hence I believe that only 80% of the mistakes and shortcomings of a novel belong to the novelist, but the rest belong to publishers, editors and proofreaders.
Globe: To what extent you are satisfied with the language of your novel ?Ilisha??
Masifi: If I write is again now I will write it in a different way, since when one writes a novel at the beginning he writes it in a simple way, you don?t know anyone and beg people till you publish it. But if you have more time, you can improve it, edit and proofread it again, you can republish it in a better way, because I am satisfied with the story-telling and all its images.
Globe: If a writer expresses everything in his mind in writing, will he be relaxed?
Masifi: In reality it is different. Man is always in a process of change and will never reach this peace of mind and relaxation that he needs. Although this help release the problems in his soul, but new things will come into existence. And one does not only write one novel. I have always thought that if I write I will calm down and that?s it, but it is not that way and things repeat as you live and read and see. Sight has large impact on writer. When you walk and see an image, after a while this image enlarges in your mind and becomes a novel. What shall I do with it? If I kill it, I will not be happy, and if I don?t, it will not leave me alone.
Globe: In an interview with Hanar Magazine you have said the title of your novel is one word. Many novel titles are one sentence or even more. Is it important and possible that the title of the novel is not related to the content of the novel, or you should create a link between the title and the content?
Masifi: No, I think they should be related. The name should be the mirror of the content. You might lose in this, like my novel, which the reader might throw it away at the first sight. Name is the identity of a person, and I think everyone should either go in the direction of his name or in the opposite direction. Novel?s name is like peoples? name. I tried to do this several times, but in the end I came back to the name which has relation to the character of Dilshad. There is a well-known person whom my brother had given a copy of my novel. After a while he met me and he said: ?You have done a very good job but it has a very unpleasant title.? He said this in a bad way, which I like most, since the meaning is related to the character in the novel.
Globe: Character is the main artery of a novel, and the very characteristics of the characters that attract people to the novel. Have you spend a lot of time and efforts with the names of your characters?
Masifi: As I always said, at the beginning this novel was a story and I already had the names of some of the characters, and along with writing I was choosing more names and I was naming them after people who I knew. For instance one of the characters is called Sarhang, which in fact is names after a person who I knew at the college, who tried to go abroad through an illegal way, but in the way he was killed.
Although the stories are different but as I could not forget this person, I used his name. The incident creates the name, just like the incident from which I got the name of Nabi. I choose the name Nabi for a character an evening, and next morning someone called Nabi dies. I told this story to a friend who had gone to Nabi?s funeral and said that he was killed by his son. This is a novel in itself. You are a diaspora and write a novel there whose character is dead. Then you come back home and you realize he is alive and dies later. This in itself is a story for another novel.
?Didar Masifi, is one of the silent Kurdish novelists, who, in the opposite of the talkativeness of other novelists, is so quiet that one might not feel his existence if not for his works. This might be related to himself and his profession, which is engineering.

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Dramatic dash camera footage released Tuesday shows authorities as they captured two Louisiana fugitives after a manhunt that crossed four states.Rickey Wedgeworth, 36, and Darian Pierce, 33, were captured Monday after they crashed a vehicle at Winchester and Hacks Cross and tried to run away.Officials said Pierce and Wedgeworth were caught about 90 miles from where they were last seen at a park near Jackson. Police said they stole a government pickup after tying up a worker at the park.They were initially spotted in Olive Branch and chased into Memphis by DeSoto County Sheriff's deputies. Memphis police and Shelby County sheriff's deputies then joined the pursuit.>>>Click here to watch dash camera footage released by the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department<<<Dozens of law enforcement vehicles converged on the intersection at Winchester and Hacks Cross. One suspect was apprehended immediately after the truck wrecked out. There was a brief pursuit on foot with the second suspect.
A Memphis police officer suffered minor injuries, Memphis police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph said. She did not say which of the fugitives was hurt.One of the escapees was taken to The MED after the chase. Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin said he had minor injuries that came after he took off in the crash."He was swinging and fighting," said Godwin. "He had some sort of pliers or tools in his hand trying to strike the officers."Director Godwin said Memphis police officers did not fire any shots.Amidst the chaos that erupted at the busy intersection, drivers left their cars and customers left nearby businesses to line the streets."The truck almost hit us, but we made it across the light just in time," said one witness. "I told my girlfriend to turn around because I wanted to see it. I've never seen nothing like this.""We did see both of them jump out and one was arrested," said witness Tamara Strickland. "The other one was brought in on a stretcher."Lynn Brotcher lives close to the scene. She rushed over when she heard the commotion."I see a white truck just coming down from the bridge, speeding with a flat tire and two guys in there," said Brotcher. "I was wondering what was going on because I saw all those cop cars."Many of the witnesses at the scene breathed a sigh of relief now that both prisoners were back in police custody."I'm just glad they were caught," said Brotcher. "I'm glad they're going to be behind bars for the rest of their lives."Pierce and Wedgeworth escaped over a week ago from the Louisiana State Police Headquarters Compound, where they had been working, in a stolen state-issued van that was later found near St. Francisville in Louisiana. Pierce is from Bogalusa, La., and is serving time for attempted second degree murder. Wedgeworth is from Memphis and is serving time for armed robbery. While on the run the pair kidnapped an Ohio man who was traveling in Louisiana. According to an autopsy, David Michael Cupps, 53, autopsy was beaten and had trauma around his neck, indicating strangulation.Investigators believe the pair were likely holed up much of the time somewhere in Jackson. Cupps' body was found Wednesday near a Comfort Inn in Bessemer, Ala. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agent John Mehr said Pierce and Wedgeworth are responsible for Cupps' death. Officials said Cupps, of the Columbus, Ohio, suburb of Sunbury, was carjacked while he was in Vicksburg. Police officials from Vicksburg were in Alabama on Friday as part of their investigation.
Throughout the search, law enforcement and regular folks feared that any arrest would be violent and involve gunplay, considering the fugitives' history.But it ended with a car crash. "It was local law enforcement doing great police work," Memphis FBI spokesman Joel Siscovic said.

Longview police said several bombs were found while officers served a search warrant at a home along Maryland Street Tuesday.
The officers said they found two small bombs made from a tennis ball and a golf ball. They also claim to have discovered an explosive the size of an M-80 or M-100, along with a larger explosive that appeared to be an illegal firework.
The officers later turned the explosives over to the Portland bomb squad.
Investigators said the suspect was not at home when officers served the warrant.

Figaro marks the first time in a year I will not be running supertext for one of our shows. I'm actually only the backup supertext operator; our principal accompanist, Tom Webb, is the primary operator. So, unless he is playing in the pit for a show, he runs titles. By some funny circumstance, in the past few years we've had keyboard on almost every show. So Hansel & Gretel was the only show I saw from the house last year; before that, it was 2009's La Boheme. Gone are the days when I used to be able to sit in the house like a regular opera fan!
Anyway, despite being released from title duty, I won't get to watch this one either. For Figaro I will be backstage making noises. On purpose.
Offstage noises -- knocks, crashes, chimes, dings, whistles, wind, etc -- are sometimes made by stage management, sometimes by stagehands, sometimes by orchestra musicians, and sometimes by the singers themselves.
Singers will knock on doors. Percussionists have been known to play wind machines backstage (most recently, in The Flying Dutchman). Stage managers or props crews drop crash boxes.
What's a crash box? A crash box is, well, a box, usually a large wooden or metal crate, that holds an assortment of items and is dropped from backstage to simulate, well, a crash. Typical things inside crash boxes include cutlery, glassware, china, and wooden blocks. This website has an absolutely terrific description of how to create a radio crash box (which is smaller than a theater crash box, since they don't need the sound to resonate over a large space). I love his crash box recipe:
One broken ceramic coffee mug, one crushed aluminum can, a few pennies, a few screws, one piece of wood (about the size of a fist), and two handfuls of pea-sized gravel. Don't use glasses or wine bottles because they powderize too much. Ceramic coffee mugs are sturdier and sound similar.
I called our stage manager to ask about the contents of the Figaro crash box. "I'll have to double check for you," she said, over the phone. And then, "It's basically a trash can full of silverware."
It's a trash can full of metal things. To make the crash, they fill a second bucket with this stuff and drop it into the trash can.
Having a crash box made of a trash can might, apparently, be a little problematic:
In Figaro, there are plenty of other offstage noises; so many that they're too much for stage management to handle. The noises come at incredibly specific times, almost always in the middle of recits, so whoever makes the noises has to be able to read music and essentially "perform" them, as if they were an instrumental solo. (Which, in essence, they are).
Hence, the librarian.
For Figaro, you will get to experience my company debut as bell-ringer, ratchet-player (i.e. door locker), and door-knocker. My company debut! I'm very proud.
I'm also very nervous. Very, very nervous.
In prioritized order from least to most terrifying: knock, bell, ratchet.
The ratchet is the most-used offstage sound effect. What is a ratchet? It looks like this...
…and is used to simulate the sound of a door locking. The ratchet is the scariest for a number of reasons:
1. It advances the plot, and the singers onstage often pause their action until they hear the ratchet noise, since they're either supposed to be a) locking a door; b) unlocking a door; or c) proceeding through a newly-unlocked door. This means that if I miss a cue, there's likely a singer onstage who's standing unnaturally beside a door.
2. The ratchet occurs entirely in the recits, which move quickly and have no set tempo. My Italian comprehension is fluent enough that I can follow without a problem, but I'm listening from backstage, where it's not always easy to hear.
3. I'm listening from backstage. This also means I'm watching from backstage. Although my cues are musical, they're also dependent on whether or not the singer has reached the door. I play the ratchet on a specific beat … unless, for example, Susanna is not quite through the door. So I have to watch the score, wait for my cue, and then decide if the cue can be played in the appropriate place or if it has to be delayed. All the while, I have to watch the singers on a monitor, because the way the set is constructed means I can't see directly onto the stage from backstage.
4. The ratchet is amplified. This means I can't cough or sneeze or talk. The mic comes up pretty close to the cue, and is cut immediately after the sound effect, BUT STILL. The stagehands nearby also have to pay attention and remain silent.
I should say that this sort of flash decision making is the kind of thing a stage manager does all the time, in every show. THEY ARE AWESOME.
Here's a funny story about a confluence of these factors, which took place the other night at the piano dress rehearsal. We had added a few cues to my score, one of which being a cue which, unlike the others, is cued by the stage manager, who is in my direct line of sight. She held up her hand, telling me to stand by, and so I prepped the ratchet, holding it at the ready up close to the mic. At just that moment, four very tall supernumeraries exited the stage, walking directly between me and the stage manager, who was suddenly obstructed from view. I stood on my tiptoes to see her, and as I did, I lost my balance, fell back onto my feet, and accidentally played the ratchet loudly and directly into the microphone. Awesome.
The bell is played just a handful of times, close to the beginning of the opera. There's nothing too interesting to tell you about the bell. I ring it. Then I walk to another side of the stage and ring it again a few more times. Then I hand it to David Pittsinger -- our Count -- and he walks through a door and rings it onstage! The biggest challenge of the bell is making sure to hold the clapper (that's the name of the thing inside the bell that makes it ring) because otherwise you get the occasional errrant bell ring, and that is no good at all.
The knock is fun. I knock the door during the middle of the Act II finale, just before one of Figaro's entrances. He can't knock the door himself because he opens it at the very instant the knock ends. In the entrance, Figaro walks through the door while the entire chorus presses themselves up against the doorframe, peering "inside" the room onstage. The reason the knock is so fun is because I'm also pressed up against the door, just out of sight! There is no place for me to exit after knocking, so I press myself very firmly up against the wall, just on the other side of the door, hold my breath, and try not to move. Around me, the chorus peers onto the stage. Figaro sings.
Ironically, it's also the knock that feels the most like playing an instrument. I have to take my cue directly from the conductor (via backstage monitor) because it's in time with the orchestra music.
As I said, these shenanigans make me terribly nervous. I was curious as to just how nervous, so last night I wore a heart monitor. Check it:
For reference, my resting heart rate is around 58, and my heart rate when running is about 140. Surprisingly, I'm pretty sure that giant spike is the final bell ring.
I'll leave you with some photos of the tableau backstage, which differs wildly from what you see from the house.
This is Jon Wangsgard, one of our ASMs, who helpfully demonstrated a common occurence at the stage. In case you can't tell, here's that sign behind him:
The props tables:
And thank heaven we have these:
Here's the stage manager's secret stash:
… plus her handy emergency phone.
The area all around the stage manager is in a huge sight line (a place backstage that's visible to the audience), and since people kept walking through it, there was only one solution:
Our stage foreman, Rick Schreiner, has a "special" office.
Yes, that's an office. See?
Here's our lovely harpsichord for the show, provided by harpsichord builder Byron Will. Isn't it beautiful?
We are unbelievably excited to open this show Friday night. It's a wonderfully charming Figaro! We hope to see you there!

The Colorado Rockies are rather famously experimenting with a four-man starting rotation and low pitch-count ceilings. They're doing this in large part out of desperation, because their pitchers have been horrible. It does them no favors, of course, to have to pitch half the time in Coors Field, but Coors Field isn't at the root of the trouble. The Rockies, as expected, have allowed the highest OPS in baseball at home. They've allowed the second-highest OPS in baseball on the road. The Rockies' pitchers have had issues.
So they're getting a new pitching coach. By the original pitching coach's request! Via USA Today:
The Colorado Rockies, who have the worst-ranked pitching staff in the major leagues, reassigned pitching coach Bob Apodoca on Tuesday before their game against the Washington Nationals.
Apodaca, the Rockies' pitching coach for the last 10 years, requested the reassignment, Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd told USA TODAY Sports.
It would make sense if Apodaca didn't want to have to deal with the reality of Coors Field any longer. And it would make sense if the Rockies wanted to seek out a different, fresher voice. That's a big part of the majority of coaching staff turnover. Even if a guy's perfectly adequate, over time he just starts to lose his effectiveness. The Rockies have made a big change, so they might as well make more changes until something, anything goes right.

Dhiskey Wick is a combination of Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout, Hop Mountain, and Double D that is aged in a bourbon barrel for a year.
I had this at Fordham brewery three different times so far.
Appearance: Black in color with a red hue around the edge. A tan colored head with good retention and a great lace.
Smell: A sweet bourbon, vanilla, and carmel/malt scent.
Taste: Very sweet. Some bourbon flavor in the background but does not over power the beer. Vanilla, chocolate, and roasted malt notes.
Mouthfeel: Very heavy body, smooth, and creamy. Low carbonation with a little warmness.
Overall: I love how the three diffenert beers meld together and how aging it in a bourbon barrel has an effect on the final product. The bourbon flavor doesn't over take the beer but complements it. I love how smooth it is. I can't drink too many of them at one time because of the sweetness. Would be a great dessert beer and great on a cold night. Definitely recommend that you try it if you get a chance.

It's the clash of Week 25: AC Milan, at the top of the table, host Juventus, just one point behind and with a game in hand. A win at the San Siro could see Juve crowned Italian champions, just thirteen rounds before the season finishes. So see, this is the most important match of the season.
Alas, it could also be one of the most boring games of the season. The Old Lady may be unbeaten, but that streak is built upon cautious football, often leading to some fairly drab affairs, and a league-leading 10 draws. Milan, meanwhile, are still flying high from their 4-0 Champions League victory over Arsenal, but they'll be without the star of that show, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Ibra may not be racking up the goals from open play, but he is unquestionably the genius behind the rossoneri. But even after 30 years on the planet, he still hasn't learned to control his temper, and is still feeling the after-effects of a rash decision to slap Salvatore Aronica in the face during the match against Napoli. Despite the fact that the partenopei were secretly cheering Ibra, the Swede lost his appeal, and will serve the remainder of his three-match ban.
In absence of Zlatan, Alexandre Pato and Robinho will start up top in Max Allegri's 4-3-1-2 system. With Kevin-Prince Boateng almost certainly out with injury yet again (the effects of scoring a gorgeous goal against Arsenal, or too much sex again? You decide), and Clarence Seedorf also suffering, Urby Emanuelson will take on the trequartista role. Sully Muntari, who had a dream debut against Cesena last week, will join Antonio Nocerino and Mark van Bommel in midfield. Philippe Mexes may get another start, but if not, it will be the usual Ignazio Abate - Alessandro Nesta - Thiago Silva - Luca Antonini back line.
For the visitors, it's almost certain that Antonio Conte will continue using that dreary 3-5-2, which may see Juve having conceded just 14 goals this season, but often leads to a boring display on the field. The antics come from the front two, with Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic competing to see who is able to miss the target in the most dramatic fashion. Matri, at least, manages to get the ball in the back of the net at times, so he'll likely get the start, while it'll be a toss up between Vucinic and Fabio Quagliarella to fill the other shirt. Simone Pepe is back from injury, so he'll start in midfield, along with Stephan Lichtsteiner, Arturo Vidal, Claudio Marchisio, and, of course, Andrea Pirlo, back to face his old team. Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, and Giorgio Chiellini will take their places in front of Gigi Buffon.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, February 25, 2:45 p.m. ET, 8:45 p.m. CET
Venue: San Siro, Milan, Italy

Guest Author - Mary Ellen Sweeney
Colm Tóibín's latest novel, Brooklyn, lives on both sides of the Atlantic. Between Enniscorthy, County Wexford and Brooklyn, New York, it tells the story of what life was like in Ireland in the 1950s when there were no jobs, when the women were dependent on a man to sweep them off their feet to get them out of misery and poverty (but the men had to go away to send money home to support the family, unless they were lucky enough to be born into money.) This had a terrible effect on the women, because it turned them into people whose dreams "from which they did not wish to awaken" involved marrying the publican's son. Has anything changed?
In Brooklyn, we are introduced to the exile, a familiar figure, and she is contrasted with those who managed to stay in their place of birth. We meet others later in the book, Irishmen that are "left over" after they have spent their working life away in other countries. They may have been the second or later sons, the ones who did not inherit the farm. You could meet them once in the working class bars in Dublin, large silent countrymen who were just waiting. They were in exile. Never welcomed again in their native place, they were, if anything, more pathetic than their compatriots in Brooklyn because they were just a bus ride away from a life, a life they had missed out on.
Those we compare them with are assured, maybe shallow, and sometimes smug. At the same time, the exiles are despised, because those left behind are so jealous of them. Somehow the families of those who remained found a way to survive in that inhospitable economy. It has certainly cost some of those in the town a lot to stay. Miss Kelly, the woman who gave Eilis a part-time job is a real monster as a result of her struggle to stay. Others appear unscathed.
Eilis is lucky. She can go west and does not have to deal with the hostility she might have to encounter going east. In fact, she is welcomed to Brooklyn as a result of the good priest. (Despite the news of the day, there are such things as "a good priest".
Eilis Lacey (pronounced: Eye-leesh) lived the life of the younger sister. Rose, the elder, who was the family breadwinner and forever going off to play golf with her betters, ruled the roost. Eilis---overeducated and underemployed---is turned out to the miserable Miss Kelly, with a Sunday job in the "better" shop in the town. Miss Kelly, who has worked in that shop from the time she could look over the counter, has no qualms about abusing unworthy customers while sucking up to those on the secret roster of preferred customers that existed only in her own fevered brain. Eilis realised that she could not turn down the offer. It was better than nothing and, at the moment, she had nothing.
There is a familiarity about Tóibín's characters. Eilis is so very 1950s Irish in her diffidence, her acceptance of her lot, and her tepid hopes. Her widowed mother's fears are like the weather described in Wexford, heavy, wet, and oppressive, and her childlike passivity is an invitation to domination. She is like a kite in the sky as others mold her destiny. Further plans are made for her when the visiting priest suggests that she come to work in Brooklyn. And so Life pounces on Eilis.
It's only on the crossing that Tóibín lets the readers have a little comic relief. Of many sea-crossing and shipboard stories told by traveling relations, this is one of the best. Tóibín flexes his narrative skills and simply entertains. It's nice to see that Eilis is able for a pal like the expansive, worldly Georgina, because she is so much "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth" the rest of the time.
The book is an elegant and straightforward narrative, more a portrait of a real person rather than a fictional character. The emotions are as understated as they are powerful. "
she would never have an ordinary day again in this ordinary place, that the rest of her life would be a struggle with the unfamiliar."
To have had the heroine of this story have a more exciting life would have been the undoing of the entire tale. Eilis carefully started to carve a small niche of happiness for herself
and not alone is he Italian, but he's a plumber to boot! Tóibín caught the tension inherent in this union of supposed opposites extremely well, a good job for a writer who was not in the place at the time. Beyond the tension of that relationship, Tóibín created such a heart-breaking set of choices for Eilis when she went back to Ireland. Oh, what could have been, maybe. Mostly though, Eilis was, and thought, and behaved precisely like so very many Irish girls who somehow found themselves transported to that strange place called Brooklyn. Welcome to America.

The Bulldogs are saving a bigger celebration for a bigger game.
Aaron Murray passed for 208 yards and three touchdowns, freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall each ran for more than 100 yards and No. 5 Georgia overwhelmed Auburn 38-0 on Saturday night, sending the Bulldogs back to the SEC championship game.
Georgia (9-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) got the first shutout for either team in the series since its 28-0 win in 1976. The Bulldogs, who have won four straight, appear to be peaking at the end of the regular season.
"I think we've been improving as we go and hopefully we can keep it going," said coach Mark Richt.
Auburn (2-8, 0-7 SEC) was held to 238 yards, including 57 yards rushing, as its disappointing season with embattled coach Gene Chizik suffered another embarrassing low.
"It's what you see," Chizik said. "It's been frustrating. Again, it's just been one of those years where it has kind of snowballed in momentum and we haven't been able to catch any."
Georgia, the Eastern Division champion, earned its second straight trip to the Dec. 1 SEC championship game in Atlanta.
Top-ranked Alabama, beaten by No. 15 Texas A&M 29-24 on Saturday, can win the Western Division title by defeating Auburn on Nov. 24.
Georgia lost to Louisiana State in last year's SEC championship game. This year, the Bulldogs want more.
"I think there's a different feeling in everybody's spirit that Atlanta is not the end of the road," Richt said.
By the start of the fourth quarter, Bulldogs fans were the majority in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
"It was awesome," Murray said. "We looked up midway through the third quarter and I was like, 'Man, we've got more fans here than they do right now.'"
After the game, Georgia players rushed to corner of the end zone to celebrate with their faithful, who chanted "SEC! SEC!"
Gurley had 11 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown. Marshall had eight carries for 105 yards, including a 62-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Georgia's most important win in its search for an SEC championship was a 17-9 defeat of then-No. 3 Florida on Oct. 27, but the Bulldogs struggled on offense in that game. The win over Auburn was the team's most well-rounded win of the season.
The defense, led by Jarvis Jones' two sacks and Bacarri Rambo's interception and forced fumble, posted its first shutout in a SEC game since a 43-0 win over Vanderbilt in 2010.
The offense boasted impressive balance with 289 yards rushing and 208 yards passing. The Bulldogs had no turnovers and only three penalties for 15 yards.
Murray completed 18 of 24 passes with no interceptions and touchdown passes to Chris Conley, Malcolm Mitchell and Tavarres King. Murray, who completed his first 10 passes, was rested in the fourth quarter as backups Parker Welch and Christian LeMay finished the game.
Freshman Jonathan Wallace, making his second start for Auburn, completed 15 of 22 passes for 181 yards with one interception. Emory Blake had six catches for 104 yards.

Jay Inslee on Gun Control
Democratic Representative (WA-1)
Make America the "Safest Big Country" in the World
After climbing relentlessly for three decades, crime rates started to fall in the 1990s. Nonetheless, the public remains deeply concerned about the prevalence of gun violence, especially among juveniles, and Americans still avoid public spaces like downtown retail areas, parks, and even sports facilities.
We need to keep policing "smart" and community-friendly, prohibiting unjust and counterproductive tactics such as racial profiling; focus on preventing as well as punishing crime; pay attention to what happens to inmates and their families after sentencing; use mandatory testing and treatment to break the cycle of drugs and crime; and enforce and strengthen laws against unsafe or illegal guns. Moreover, we need a renewed commitment to equal justice for all, and we must reject a false choice between justice and safety.
Technology can help in many areas: giving police more information on criminal suspects so they do not rely on slipshod, random stop-and-search methods; allowing lower-cost supervision of people on probation or parole; and making it possible to disable and/or trace guns used by unauthorized persons.
Above all, we need to remember that public safety is the ultimate goal of crime policy. Until Americans feel safe enough to walk their neighborhood streets, enjoy public spaces, and send their children to school without fear of violence, we have not achieved public safety.
While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.
The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionaire sent to all Congressional candidates; the NRA assigned a letter grade (with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest).

Watch full fight videos of Badr Hari vs Samedov and Aleksander Emelianenko vs. Bob Sapp from the LEGEND event in Moscow on May 25, 2013.
Oh boy. Bob Sapp takes another dive and Badr Hari loses to Samdov. Here's Fraser Coffeen's commentary from earlier:
Hari has been fighting only sporadically over the past three years as he has been more focused on his legal troubles than his in-ring performances. After nearly a year off (a significant portion of which was spent in prison), Hari returned to the ring earlier this year, defeating Samedov in K-1. This marks Badr's first loss since the DQ to Hesdy Gerges back in 2010, and the 12th loss of his lengthy career. But of those 12, this is one of the most troubling, and one that really makes you wonder if Hari has much of a future in kickboxing.
The night's actual main event featured MMA action between Alexander Emelianenko and Bob Sapp. It went pretty much exactly as you would expect - Aleks lands a punch, Sapp turtles up, done. Dating back to fall 2005, Sapp is now on a combined 5-27 run in MMA and kickboxing. It's mind boggling that people still book him at this point.

|Jennifer Josef, ILGA-ASIA
|Jennifer Josef, ILGA-ASIA
The couple steals kisses, holds hands and dances the night away in one of Kuala Lumpur's top clubs. The only difference from the scores of other couples on the floor is that the two are both women. In recent months, discussions on LGBT rights in the country have increased, and for these two girls, there is some hope for change in Malaysia.
"I think not as many people really give us a hard time when we are out together and showing affection," began Rina, a 23-year-old recent university graduate. She spoke of her relationship with Youssra, a 22-year-old student who told Bikyamasr.com that her family is not pleased by her coming out.
"I told them recently about Rina and they were shocked. I thought my father was going to kill me, but even though they are not happy, I think they have accepted who I am," she argued.
For the country's lesbian and gay population, the struggle for rights is an uphill battle. With the country's legal code based largely on the British system that was implemented last century during its occupation of Malaysia, and coupled with the growing power of Islamic clerics, creating openness and dialogue is often difficult.

A Chicago man charged with robbing at least two area Radio Shack stores has pleaded not guilty.
Reginald Taylor, 47, was apprehended in Oak Lawn after holding police at bay with a handgun was charged with robbing the Frankfort Radio Shack. He had already faced robbery charges in connection with a Nov. 7 stickup at the Radio Shack on Harlem Avenue in Palos Heights.
Taylor has two cases with several felony charges, including armed robbery, being an armed habitual criminal possession/use of a weapon by a felon, aggravated robbery and aggravated unlawful restraint.
Cook County Judge John J. Hynes issued a $500,000 bond in the new cases when Taylor appeared in court on Thursday, Dec. 19.
Taylor's most recent arrest was in violation of parole of an earlier burglary conviction and he was taken back to the Illinois Department of Corrections in Stateville, where he is currently in custody. Besides various burglary convictions, he has done prison time for drugs, theft and arson.
In the Palos Heights robbery, Taylor allegedly waited for customers to leave the Radio Shack and locked the store's front door. He then reportedly brandished a handgun, demanded cash and fled with what employees gave up.
Taylor headed from Palos Heights to Oak Lawn, where he went into another Radio Shack, police said. An employee of that store recognized Taylor and the police were contacted, according to reports. Taylor fled but officers cornered him in the stairwell of a house, police said. He was taken into custody after an hour-long standoff.
A Frankfort Radio Shack was robbed six days before the holdup in Palos Heights. Like in the later heist, Taylor allegedly menaced store employees with a handgun. One of those employees reportedly went on to pick Taylor out of a lineup conducted at the Oak Lawn Police Department.
Authorities have said they don't know why Taylor has allegedly focused on Radio Shacks. He reportedly stole cash and smartphones.
Taylor is scheduled to be back in Hynes' court on Jan. 13.

LOWER TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - Employees at a southern New Jersey deli say they feared for their lives when a man walked in and brandished a samurai sword.
It happened at American Deli in Lower Township.
Worker Lee DeBiase tells WMGM-TV the man threatened to "slice us all up" if we didn't give him his cellphone back. The employees say none of them had seen or had the phone.
A co-worker ducked out back and called police as Mike Houseman said the man started swinging the sword around.
Police have charged 43-year-old Ryan Crump with aggravated assault, terrorist threats and other weapons offenses.
No one was injured.

This is the 4th African Regulatory Conference (ARC) co-organised by the Drug Information Association (DIA) and the IFPMA's African Regulatory Network (ARN).
IFPMA (International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations) represents the research-based pharmaceutical companies and associations across the globe. The research-based pharmaceutical industry's 1.3 million employees strive to develop and provide innovative medicines, biological products, and vaccines that improve patients' lives worldwide. Based in Geneva, IFPMA has official relations with the United Nations and contributes industry expertise to help the global health community find solutions that improve global health.
The ARN is an ad-hoc network of the Regulatory Policy and Technical Standards Committee (RPTS) of IFPMA. The association works in partnership with regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry in Africa to encourage greater harmonisation of regulatory requirements with the aim to help enable faster and expanded access to good quality innovative medicines for patients.
The ARC offers the opportunity for key stakeholders active in the region including Representatives from health authorities, local and multinational pharmaceutical companies, international, governmental and non-governmental organisations to exchange progressive views on key topics of interest and identify focus areas for ongoing efforts aimed to increase patient access to new and improved medicines.

Session Chair(s):
This session will provide participants with an opportunity to get an update from regulatory agencies on the African Medicines Regulatory Harmonization (AMRH) programme. Key implementation learning amongst agencies and within the industry shall be shared in the 2nd part of the session.
Moderator: Perry Mohammed (TBC)Rapporteur: Delese Mimi Darko Participants will hear from regulators and industry about the status of clinical trials in Africa. The capacity building situation and its impact in multi-regional clinical trials, the role of the Regulators in reviewing the trial protocol to ensure safety for its population, the appropriateness of its scientific design, and that the protocol will be executed ethically will also be discussed
Dossier review processes in different African countries are evolving over time and new registration requirements are being implemented. Variety and differences in requirements have led to increased review timelines and prolonged access for patients to medicines. This session targets to evaluate possibilities to optimise dossier review processes in different African regions and countries. Input will be brought in from the European Union where collaboration between countries has evolved and led to a harmonised approach and work-sharing between countries. The current situation in Africa will be analysed and recommendations be given how to improve processes, and show possibilities for harmonisation and collaboration between African countries.
This session will give an overview of new / expedite regulatory pathways for medicines and vaccines, as well as analyse lessons learned from existing pathways: what could be replicated and what should be avoided. Opportunities and recommendations will be discussed.
Moderator: TBCRapporteur: Amadou Moctar DieyeThis session is set-up as a panel discussion with regulators representatives only. Main discussion points, comments and recommendations from this session as recorded by a rapporteur will be shared during next plenary session. Regulators' views of needs and opportunities for improvement related to the discussion points will be brought into perspective with each other during the session.
Moderator: Sharon OlmsteadRapporteur: TBCThis session is set-up as a panel discussion with industry representatives only.

text: Celebrity Babies Named After Places Celeb Kids Named After Mom and Dad's Favorite Places by Rebecca Gruber 8/13/13 93 Reactions 23 Shares Print 4 12 6 1 0 Pull out a map, boys and girls, we're going on a bit of a global adventure. Moms and dads can turn almost anywhere for baby name inspiration, but many celebs seem to find comfort in choosing a moniker that reminds them of a special location. Jimmy Fallon is the latest new parent to choose a locale for his baby's name — he just named his baby, Winnie, after the New Hampshire lake where he and his wife were engaged. But he's certainly not the only one to do so. From Brooklyn to Morocco and everywhere in between, see which celebrity tots are geographically named. Zuma Rossdale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gwen Stefani's youngest son, Zuma, is named after Zuma Beach, CA, a beach very close to where the family lives. Source: WENN.com 1 / 14 India Hemsworth What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chris Hemsworth may hail from Australia, but he and wife Elsa Pataky named their firstborn India Rose after the country they admire. "We love the country and love the name," he said. Source: FameFlynet 2 / 14 Moroccan Cannon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed their twins last year, everyone wondered about the family's connection to Morocco. But the couple later stated that their son was "named after a room in their home, which is decorated in the style of the North African nation." Source: Bauer-Griffin Online 3 / 14 Egypt Daoud Dean What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys also named their son after an African country — Egypt — but have yet to acknowledge their connection to the place. Source: Getty 4 / 14 Bryce Dallas Howard What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Naming babies after the place they were conceived isn't a new phenomenon. Ron Howard gave each of his kids a middle name to commemorate their conception, such as Bryce "Dallas" Howard. When she became a mom herself, Bryce opted for more traditional names. Source: Getty 6 / 14 London Hudson What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Slash may be the guitarist for an all-American band, but his son is named after one of his favorite cities — London. Source: Getty 6 / 14 Ireland Baldwin What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A proud Irishman himself, it wasn't that much of a surprise when Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger named their daughter Ireland. Source: Getty 7 / 14 Brooklyn Beckham What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Contrary to popular belief, Victoria and David Beckham did not conceive Brooklyn while visiting New York. As Victoria wrote in her autobiography: It was when we were in Marbella that we came up with the name Brooklyn. We already knew he was a boy and so I knew he could end up a footballer, so it had to be a name that was a bit blokey. I had always liked the name Brooke and then we suddenly thought about Brooklyn. I'd always like it as a place — it's very multi-cultural, very grounded. And it was only afterwards that I realized how appropriate it was because it was in New York that I found out I was pregnant and where David came after the World Cup. Source: Getty 8 / 14 Bronx Wentz What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We're not sure if Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz spent a lot of time in the NYC borough, but they liked the name Bronx enough to place it on their tot! Source: FameFlynet 9 / 14 Alabama Gypsy Rose Jennings What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Drea de Matteo was born in NYC, and Shooter Jennings spent the first few years of his life on a tour bus with his mom and dad. Given Jennings's Southern rock roots, it's no surprise that the couple gave their lil one a name that reflects a Southern rock anthem — Alabama. Source: FameFlynet 11 / 14 Indiana Hawke What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ethan Hawke is well-associated with NYC, but he looked beyond the Big Apple when naming his third daughter, turning to the Midwest to name her Indiana. Source: FameFlynet 11 / 14 Penelope Scotland Disick What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yes, her father's name is Scott, but Kourtney Kardashian's daughter Penelope Scotland Disick is most likely named for grandma Kris, who is of Scottish descent. Source: FameFlynet 12 / 14 Tennessee Toth What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Though she was born in New Orleans, Reese Witherspoon has called Nashville home for most of her life. So it was no surprise when she gave her newborn son a moniker based on her home state. Source: FameFlynet 13 / 14 Winnie Rose Fallon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen Fallon gave a lot of thought to their baby's name. But in the end, they didn't have to look too far. Winnie was named after their favorite vacation spot, and the location of Nancy's family's home where they got engaged — New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee. Speaking with Today, Jimmy explained, "We were talking about different names. You overthink names — you don't want a name that's been done, but then you don't want something so weird people are like, 'What?!' Winnipesaukee's a little long." The Late Night host joked that Winnie, born via surrogate after five years of trying, is also, "a 'win' for us."

Comments about Whirlpool Front Loading 2.3 Cubic Foot Washer:
Was working ok for the first couple of month and then gets stuck on 7 minute mark for about 5 minutes and shutdown. The warranty doesn't help either. Were given 1000 excuses and no fix. Takes a while to start and to stop.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good thing we purchased a warranty. Repairs are non stop. They come every week and give us different reasons for the same problem. The spin cycle doesn't start and it gets stuck on the 7th minute.
