The food was regular ship food - Good but not always excellent. However, the first night we had lobster that was just excellent. Also the regular dining room steak was good- usually they are very tough, but my husband had it several times. We did not eat in any speciality restaurants. We really enjoyed the Sports Bar food which was open at 5:00 PM until late. Also, eating on the back deck was good when you could find a seat. Main problem in the buffett - the food was too crowded and made for long lines -example: toast (with a person making it for you) was the same person who served grits and oatmeal. Other food was also right in the same area and the people could not walk around. Also on Norweign you must get your own drinks and they have extremely small glasses. They really need to get some better and bigger glasses.
Entertainment - Regular ship entertainment, we saw most of the shows. The singers and dancers were okay. The comedian was not really funny, he talked and bragged about him raising his son on a cruise ship and he was divorced. Really not what I call entertainment. Also "George" was not a good singer, but was a little better dancer. Not high quality entertainment, but was okay.
The piano bar was okay. The karaoke bar was upstairs and hard to find - Also, the guy running it was NOT GOOD. He forgot people and did not help you with the computer he just gave it to you.
Disembarkment was very easy - just pulled off. SAS picked us up promptly and took us back to FLL airport where we then went to Sleep Inn at Dania Beach and spent the night. (Walgreens, and two restaurants nearby) Good place to spent pre or post cruise.

A collaborative volunteer effort created what is sure to be one the Horribles Parade's most thrilling floats and will live on after the parade as a functional police vehicle.
Sean Nolan and the guys over at Extreme Truck and Auto on Kondelin Road took on a project rehabilitating a Humvee the city's police department had inherited from the military. He and his group of free masons donated their time on a voluntary basis to tune up the vehicle, which will carry some of Gloucester's veterans in the parade, and completely repaint and decal its exterior.
"It came right down to crunch time," Nolan said Tuesday. "Since Friday we've been working non stop to get it done."
The cruiser is marked with the words "Community committed" and displays Gloucester's police logos along with other details donated by K&D Designs and painted by Joe Brancaleone. Police typically use the Humvees in snow emergencies or other heavy weather situations.
"I've got to thank these guys," Campanello said of those who worked on the vehicle. "We wanted to do something to the Humvee that made it both useful to the city and a way to pay honor to our veterans who've come back injured or worse."
A decal on the hood of the now black and white truck pays tribute to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that assists veterans in recovering from the wounds of war and readjusting to civilian life.
Wounded Warriors has presented support to many of Gloucester's veterans who regard it highly, including Austin Dorr, a Sargent Major who fought combat in Korea in 1951 and was awarded a Purple Heart. He will ride in the Humvee during the parade, along with other Gloucester veterans.
Holly Fleming, a retired US Army Sargent injured in Iraq in 2010 who will ride along too, said she benefited greatly from the support of the Wounded Warrior Project during a one year stay in Georgia's Fort Gordon. Doctors there treated her spinal and head injuries, and taught her to walk without assistance and how to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the short term memory loss she suffered after the head injury.
Now she volunteers at Gloucester's Veterans Administration.
"One mission ended and now it's another mission to help veterans coming home," Fleming said.

Police say a man arrested Friday in the area of multiple
kidnappings and armed robberies has not been charged in connection with those
Christian Browne, 27, was arrested early Friday morning after
he fled the scene of an accident. He is charged with careless and reckless,
driving with a license revoked, and failing to report an accident.
Officers were dispatched to the 4400 block of Touchstone
Forest Drive in response to a call concerning a suspicious vehicle. When they
arrived, Browne fled the scene but was later apprehended.
Police say Browne has not been linked to a number
kidnappings and armed robberies that have occurred in the area. Police say the
investigation of those cases is continuing.
The latest kidnapping occurred Thursday night when a woman
was forced at gunpoint to drive an armed man to an ATM off Duraleigh Road.
Authorities have not said if the kidnapping is related to
the three other kidnapping and robberies that occurred in Raleigh earlier this
The first robbery took place around 2 a.m. on Sept. 22 in
the 4800 block of Pleasant Valley Road. Police said two people were walking on
a sidewalk when they were approached by a suspect who was armed with a hand
gun. The male victim was assaulted and the suspect took the purse belonging to
the female victim before fleeing on foot.
The second robbery took place at 11:50 p.m. on Sept. 22 in
the 4300 block of Furman Hall. Police said a female was approached after
getting out of her vehicle in her apartment complex. The suspect was armed with
a handgun and forced the victim back in her vehicle and ordered her to drive to
an ATM. The suspect later ordered the victim to get out of her vehicle near
Interstate 40 and Wade Avenue and drove away. The vehicle was later located at
the victim's residence.
A third robbery took place Sept. 23 at approximately 10:30
p.m. when a female victim was approached by an armed suspect in the 1000 block
of Collins Drive. The suspect was between the victim's vehicle and residence.
When the victim screamed, the victim's husband opened the door to investigate
and the suspect forced the female inside the house.
The suspect in the first three incidents is described as a
black man, about six feet tall with a medium build. During the first two
robberies, the suspect was wearing a black motorcycle helmet with a full-faced
shield, black motorcycle-style jacket and black pants and shoes.
While committing the third crime, he wore all black except
for an orange and yellow zip-up jacket with a turtle neck that covered much of
his face.
The man involved in the latest kidnapping was wearing a
mask, according to authorities.

Review: 'Gahan Wilson's Sunday Comics' is a hilariously absurd collectionA comic review article by: Jason Sacks
Gahan Wilson is one of the most unique and wonderful figures in comics history. He has a long and auspicious track record as a brilliant gag cartoonist with a dark and absurdist but oddly warm sensibility, with a distinctive approach that clearly influenced cartoonists like Gary Larson, creator of The Far Side and Dan Piraro, creator of Bizarro.
Wilson was also an absurdly productive cartoonist, who in his prime created his cartoons at such a rapid rate that it seemed there weren't enough places to print his material. With his busy lifestyle and active social life, it seemed that Wilson was in perpetual motion, creating his wonderful NUTS while also working on cartoons for the biggest magazines of his era, including Playboy and The National Lampoon.
Since he had so many comics created and so many friends in the newspaper business, in 1974 Wilson very casually created a newspaper strip version of his comics, delivering five or six gag cartoons each week to a small and select group of readers. As Gary Groth quotes Wilson, "I could do stuff that would make me happy and [it] was a pleasure all around."
The resulting Gahan Wilson's Sunday Comics appeared in only few newspapers through the Register and Tribune Syndicate, including Wilson's native Boston Globe as well as a Los Angeles paper, but that now syndication rate didn't bother Wilson: "It occurred to me that it would be nice to have stuff appear here and we liked Boston very much."
The strip continued appearing up to June 1977, though Wilson doesn't recall how the Sunday Comics ended.
Fantagraphics has reprinted the full run of Gahan Wilson's Sunday Comics with their customary attention to detail and gorgeous reproduction. If you like the strips you see alongside this review, you know that you need to buy this book. These comics crack me up, especially the weeks that are seemingly endless variations on different themes. I wish I had Wilson's absurd imagination – but the man is truly one of a kind.

Arizona Recruiting, baylor Recruiting, Brian Bosworth, Houston Recruiting, Indiana Recruiting, Kentucky Recruiting, memphis Recruiting, Michigan Recruiting, Michigan State Recruiting, North Carolina Recruiting, North Carolina State Recruiting, Teams, Texas Recruiting, UCLA
November 17, 2011 by NBE Blogger · 1 Comment
By Brian Bosworth, National Recruiting Analyst
After providing early signing period recruiting class highlights from the BIG EAST, ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12 and SEC, as well as the top Non-BCS Schools, it is time to sum everything up and release our list of the Top 15 Men's Basketball Recruiting Classes through the early signing period.
The recruiting classes are well-balanced throughout the country. The BIG EAST and Big 10 lead the early going with each conference placing three schools in the rankings. The Pac 12, ACC and Big 12 each have two schools cracking the top 15 and the SEC has one. There are two programs from 'non-BCS' conferences also on the list.
Five different conferences placed schools in the Top 5 so far. Here are the classes…ranked 1-15…
Class of 2012 National Recruiting Rankings:
1) Arizona
Commits – Brandon Ashley (PF), Kaleb Tarczewski (C), Gabe York (SG), Grant Jerrett (PF)
–Already holding one of the nation's best classes, Sean Miller put the cherry on top by winning a recruiting battle with Kansas for the services of Tarczewski. All 4 of these players projects as a significant impact player for the Wildcats.
2) Kentucky
Commits – Archie Goodwin (SG), Alex Poythress (SF), Willie Cauley (C)
–The expectations are so high at Kentucky that if John Calipari is unable to add Shabazz Muhammad (SF), Anthony Bennett (PF), or Devonta Pollard (SF) to this class it will somehow be viewed as a disappointment. Without any additions it is still a very impressive class.
3) Providence
Commits – Kris Dunn (PG), Ricardo Ledo (SG), Joshua Fortune (SG)
–The debut class for head coach Ed Cooley is the most impressive one in recent memory at Providence. If he's able to build off the momentum and repeat this level in 2013 the Friars will challenge for Big East titles.
4) Michigan
Commits – Mitch McGary (PF/C), Glenn Robinson (SF), Nik Stauskas (SF)
–In Mitch McGary, John Beilein has landed the best big man prospect to come to Ann Arbor since Chris Webber. If McGary can have an impact anything like Webber's (minus all the sanctions of course), Wolverine fans will be mighty happy.
5) North Carolina State
Commits – Rodney Purvis (SG), TJ Warren (F), Tyler Lewis (PG)
–Still heavily involved with combo forward Amile Jefferson, Mark Gottfried has a chance to challenge Arizona for the top spot in these rankings if he can land the athletic Philadelphia product.
6) Indiana
Commits – Hanner Perea (PF), Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell (PG), Jeremy Hollowell (SF), Ron Patterson (SG), Peter Jurkin (C)
–Losing out on Gary Harris to Michigan State is a minor blow for Tom Crean but he can certainly hold his head high with the five man class he has locked down.
Commits – Kyle Anderson (PG), Jordan Adams (SF)
–With only two committed players it takes some serious star power for UCLA to rank this high and Kyle Anderson provides that star power. If Ben Howland signs Shabazz Muhammad in the spring (UCLA is considered the favorite) they would shoot to the top of this list.
8} Pittsburgh
Commits – Steven Adams (C), James Robinson (PG)
–Like UCLA, singular star power accounts for Pittsburgh's high ranking. Steven Adams may be the very best player in the entire class but more will be known once he faces consistent high level competition after joining Notre Dame Prep in January.
9) Houston
Commits – Danuel House (SF), Danrad "Chicken" Knowles (PF), Valentine Izundu (C)
–Dipping into the immense talent pool in the Houston area, the Cougars have locked up the future of the program in this terrific three man class.
10) North Carolina
Commits – Brice Johnson (PF), Marcus Paige (PG), Joel James (C), JP Tokoto (SF)
–This class is likely complete and while 10th nationally is certainly impressive it's not quite up to the normal standards of Roy Williams at Carolina.
11) Texas
Commits – Cameron Ridley (C), Prince Ibeh (C), Javan Felix (PG), Connor Lammert (PF), Ioannis Papapetrou (SF)
–Speed, size, scoring, defense, this class has a little bit of everything for Rick Barnes. It lacks a top 10 player nationally but everything else is here.
12) Michigan State
Commits – Gary Harris (SG), Kenny Kaminski (PF), Matt Costello (C), Denzel Valentine (SF)
Tom Izzo has landed his next big star in East Lansing in shooting guard Gary Harris. The rest of the class offers a combination of toughness and skill that is customary of Izzo's players.
13) Syracuse
Commits – DaJuan Coleman (C), Jerami Grant (SF)
–After sweating out Kentucky and Ohio State, Jim Boeheim landed the local product Coleman who will immediately be one of the strongest players in the Big East.
14) Baylor
Commits – Isaiah Austin (C), LJ Rose (PG), Chad Rykhoek (C)
–Isaiah Austin may be the best big man that Scott Drew has recruited to Waco. Given that Perry Jones and Quincy Miller are both considered potential lottery picks, Austin is a major get for Baylor.
15) Memphis
Commits – Shaq Goodwin (PF), Damien Wilson (SF)
–Adding target Jarnell Stokes would round out this class quite nicely. Josh Pastner is engaged in a battle with Mike Anderson at Arkansas among others for the talented big man's services.

Recognition – Retirees - Eligibility Criteria
Current Retiree Eligibility Criteria:
Regular classified, professional and faculty employees who have ten years of continuous University service immediately prior to retirement and are at least 55 years old OR 65 years old or older will be eligible for recognition as a retiree at the Annual Banquet. Those honored at the spring Banquet will have reached their retirement anniversary date between the months of September 2 (the beginning of an academic year) and before September 1 (the end of the academic year). This will result in the consistent treatment of all fiscal and academic year employees. This policy change occurred for the 1996 banquet.
It is important to have your retirement paperwork in to the Office of Human Resources so we can determine that you are retiring from the University. In some cases, paperwork filed at the end of April will result in the retiree not being included in that year's banquet. We will make every effort to have the retiree included in that year's events, however if this is not possible, the retiree will be included in the next year's activities.

"great article. Bears by 10 +"
There is really no way to truly describe the DOMINATION Ben Burns has displayed this month.
A PERFECT 6-0 Saturday (5-0 in NCAAF) brings him to a JAW DROPPING 70-29-2 (70%) in August! This near UNPRECEDENTED run has seen him lose only SIX days all month.
Burns' clients have profited almost $30K alone in August. You in?
1* Baltimore (1:35 ET): All signs are pointing towards an Orioles sweep this weekend. The home team won big Friday and then again Saturday by a final score of 3-2. These teams continue to head in opposite directions. Baltimore has won five of six. Minnesota has lost 10 of 14. With only the Orioles in a pennant race, this shaped up as an easy series and I'll call for them to finish things off proper.
I've liked what I've seen from Wei-Yen Chen so far. He only made it through 4.2 innings the last time we saw him, but that was also the first time he didn't go at least five in nearly two months. In eight of his last nine starts, he's allowed three runs or less. In his last three, he has a 2.84 ERA and 1.16 WHIP.
Minnesota is just 19-25 vs. LH starters this year.
They also went just 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position yesterday. Against a Baltimore team allowing just 2.9 runs its last seven games and allowing opponents to hit just .218, that's trouble. The Orioles bullpen has a ridiculous 1.06 ERA the last 14 games.
Twins starter Ricky Nolasco pitched well the last time we saw him. But he still has a 6.50 ERA and 1.77 WHIP on the road this season. 1* free play.

There are just so many things that Holland America gets right. The many small touches throughout the cruise made us feel special. I've decided that HAL is my preferred cruise line now. Elegant, fabulous food, classy passengers, professional staff, nice shows, classical music at dinner and I could go on and on.
The itinerary was unique and the reason that we booked this cruise. We sailed in and out of Athens, Greece (where we currently live) and up the Adriatic Sea to the most beautiful city in the world overnight (Venice) and then back to the Aegean for a few Greek islands. The ports were Corfu, Dubrovnik, Split, Venice, Ravenna, Kotor, Crete and Mykonos.
In four of the ports we had stormy weather but what is so wonderful about cruising is that in the evening you can take a hot bath or shower and enjoy a fabulous meal and entertainment which washes away the storms.
The new ports for our family were Ravenna and Kotor. If you haven't been to Kotor by ship you're in for a surprise because you will sail through fjords (my first time)! Ravenna was interesting but very cold. Went on a private tour with cruise critic friends. Got soaking wet waiting for bus back to port.
Great job HAL! Rotterdam was a dream. Hope to sail her again.

Both Marshall and WVU have had a lot of change among their respective football coaching staffs this offseason.
Another occurred on Friday with an assistant leaving one of the state's Division I programs for the other.
JaJuan Seider, Marshall's running backs coach and recruiting coordinator, is heading back to WVU where he started his college football career. Seider will coach the Mountaineer ball carriers.
"It's great to welcome JaJuan back to Mountaineer football," WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said in a release. "He is an energetic coach and recruiter, who knows our program and state very well. His coaching versatility and background will be an asset to our program, and I know he will bring a passion to succeed at his alma mater."
Seider had been with Doc Holliday since the Hurricane native became Marshall's head coach in 2010.
While in Huntington, Seider was named Conference USA's top recruiter in 2012.
Among his prized recruits at Marshall were quarterback Rakeem Cato and running back Kevin Grooms. Cato was C-USA's Player of the Year in 2012.
While at WVU as a graduate assistant, Seider helped develop Mountaineer signal callers Pat White, Jarrett Brown and Geno Smith.
Seider was a standout quarterback at Florida A&M and earned the Doug Williams Award as the National Offensive Player of the Year and the Jake Gaither Award (considered the Heisman Trophy Award for black colleges).

vacation rental description
The Cottage Located on breathtakingly beautiful Torch Lake, this Non-Smoking property has been owned by the same family since the late 1800's. The cottage features natural wood interiors, two woodburning fireplaces, shelves of books, gorgeous views of the lake, coziness, and simplicity.
Equally suitable for families with young children or older couples, the cottage comfortably sleeps six people, with a Guest Cottage sleeping four more for an additional fee. We have 150 feet of lakefront, including a sandy beach, a private dock, boat hoist and mooring buoy. The lake's sandy bottom is shallow for a fair distance, making it ideal for children. The cottage sits at the end of a private road in a secluded setting thick with mature trees. Its location on the east side of the lake affords spectacular views of the setting sun, especially from the large open air deck which overlooks the lake, and the near-constant lull of water lapping at the shore. There is also a smaller private deck, complete with a hammock swing (one of several on the property), off the master suite.
Torch Lake was named the third most beautiful lake in the world by
National Geographic Magazine. The water is so clear you can see the
sandy bottom all the way out to the "drop-off." On sunny days, the
lake has ribbons of turquoise color that are reminiscent of the
Caribbean. Torch is the largest lake in Michigan (19 miles long and
about two miles wide) and is part of a chain of lakes which allows
boating from Elk Rapids to Bellaire.
The Suroundings A 15-minute stroll takes you to the small and charming village of Alden. It has one of Torch Lake's four public boat ramps, a number of restaurants, art galleries, a variety of shops, a playground, a public tennis court, and a library. Green woods and broad fields extend out from the town, offering great cycling and walking. Just 20 minutes away by car, you can find craft breweries, cafes and higher-end restaurants.
Popular Tourist Destinations such as Traverse City, Charlevoix, the
Leelanau Peninsula, and Petoskey are all within an hour's drive.
Should you choose to venture further afield, Interlochen National
Music Camp (offering excellent concerts), Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes,
Mackinac Island, or Hartwick Pines are well worth visiting.
Because the cottage is a family heirloom, we request great care and
consideration from our renters.

Though recent trade reports have spun the story as being an issue mostly about money, that's pretty much a small part of the motivation. Ross has never been a filmmaker that repeats himself (going from satire in "Pleasantville" to horse racing drama in "Seabiscuit" and action in "The Hunger Games") and we're told the burning desire simply isn't there to spend another couple of years with Katniss in the Capitol (evidently, he also liked the first book best). And while the lowball salary offer probably didn't help, Ross already has a fairly lucrative career as a screenwriter (and rewriter) and money isn't really the issue. Simply put, the filmmaker is looking to change things up for his next effort.
While the details on what that project will be are still coming together, we're told it will be something he has written that (ironically) will earn him a better payday that he would've received on "Catching Fire" (and it's possible it's this "Outback" project) Essentially, it's a win-win for Ross, who gets to move on to a project he developed for his fourth feature, and will allow him to do something different.
The hunt will be on to find a replacement soon. "Catching Fire" shoots this fall and will open on November 22, 2013.
Rex | September 17, 2012 9:55 AM
Gary Ross is an idiot!
He says he doesn't like repeating himself. So why the hell did he sign on to make the first movie of a trilodgy?
I'm glad he's gone.
Sarah | June 18, 2012 5:11 PM
2013?!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait that long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( BTW I <3 JOSH!!!!!!
Stephanie | April 13, 2012 12:19 AM
The shaky cam was so damned awful sitting in the third row from the screen in regards to motion sickness, because we were at the midnight premiere, that the 12 year old girl sitting next to me got up to the end of the row and vomited twice in the aisle. I still feel so bad for her and it was awfully good timing because I had just thought to myself, "Man, I'm really starting to feel nauseous". I was sick for the rest of the night. Along with character development that I felt was lacking, I am so glad that Ross is out as a director.
Mark Smith | April 9, 2012 12:14 PM
I am with the "glad he's gone" crowd...missed too many useful parts of the book, added a few needless parts, etc. The shaky camera was not implemented well - I heard lots of groans from audience who ate too much popcorn/drank too much pop, before the show started...
amelia | April 8, 2012 9:03 AM
THANK GOD! I'm really hoping this is true because I hated how all the important and most exciting scenes were shortened and rushed so much! Oh and the stupid, shaky camera! I don't care if it was suppose to be in Katniss' perspective, it was horribly annoying.
Firefly155 | April 7, 2012 1:23 PM
Gutted he is leaving. I thought he did a great job on The Hunger Games and was looking forward to seeing his view for the next film. I liked the shakiness in the film. It made it more real and unique. Other films are shot so simply, and this was something new and interesting to watch. It made you focus more to the action and was greatly used on the cornucopia scene where the bloodbath was happening. I'm really sad that he's not doing the next film. I would of liked to seen a series where style was the same throughout all films in a franchise.
Katrina | April 7, 2012 12:12 PM
Sad that he's not coming back, many fans loved what he did to the movie, but this is actually what i wanted... A new director, I'm not really a fan of his too much shaking camera shots, and i firmly believe he could have developed the characters and established some of the scenes more, sooo yeah, i can live with this :)
ska-triumph | April 7, 2012 11:43 AM
wow. did a Playlist post ever get THIS MANY comments? I couldn't even start reading them yet...
TOLDJA | April 7, 2012 11:38 AM
Guys... Stick to what we like you for. You're never going to break something like this from Williamsburg before Deadline does. But think about it this way: they're never going to break anything about Bela Tarr or The Dardennes, so you definitely have your niche.
Love you guys, just don't get too big for your britches unless your revelation is actually true.
DJavr | April 7, 2012 10:47 AM
i liked his Shakey-Camera effect. too bad he's leaving
Carri | April 7, 2012 10:43 AM
@HUNGERGAMESGIRL I agree with you with Ross. He did miss important stuff in the movie and it was like shacking so much you could barely see
Hungergamesgirl | April 7, 2012 8:43 AM
@ilovejoshhutcherson2023 josh is staying and so is liam and jen. Im kinda happy ross dropped out cause i didnt like the camera shaking and he missed some important parts of the movie.
Becky | April 7, 2012 7:33 AM
I VOLUNTEER! I volunteer as director!
Matt Stone | April 7, 2012 5:21 AM
The Hunger Games is an awesome movie. Shaky camera? Who cares. Any number of directors can take over and do a great job. They have great source material. Different directors worked on the Potter and Twilight films. Stop gripping people. I can't wait to see Catching Fire.
SeminalJones | April 7, 2012 4:46 AM
Alfonso Cuarón is who you want for the next one.
Zedama | April 7, 2012 4:32 AM
THG was a great film, and Ross' adaptation of the book was almost perfect in my eyes. I'm a bit nervous about the upcoming films now...
Katelyn | April 6, 2012 11:37 PM
Is it bad that I don't really care? I mean people on twitter are freaking out but I don't actually care. Gary Ross didn't do a bad job but the characters could've been developed better. And I think they took out parts of the book that could be important for later movies. Also I didn't believe that Peeta actually loved Katniss in the movie. It was like it was for show. So I just hope they get a good director to actually develope the characters and moods and stuff.
Hungryman | April 6, 2012 11:19 PM
They should get Michael Bay . . . NOT.
Whew | April 6, 2012 11:05 PM
Thank goodness - no more motion sickness movies. Maybe they can get Peter Jackson and the character development will improve too.
:( | April 6, 2012 10:46 PM
I really hope this is just a late April Fools joke... Even with the shaky camera it was a good movie...
Ilovejoshhutcherson2023 | April 6, 2012 8:11 PM
wait..but on the T.V. it said JOSH dropped out....WHT? SO CONFUSED..im like crying cuz hes not gonnaplay peeta?so WHO dropped out??
Stephen | April 6, 2012 5:37 PM
It makes sense. I didn't think he would return for catching fire. He never repeats himself
Marcus | April 6, 2012 5:32 PM
Well, let's hope the new director will use and like to use a steady cam or at least a tripod, i loved the movie, but I had to turn away a few times because it was giving me motion sickness. I hate when movies are filmed like that.
Shuff | April 6, 2012 4:43 PM
While I appreciate Gary Ross's passion for the source material, it was a pedestrian adaption at best. The cinematography worked for D12 and the Arena, but otherwise detracted from what could have been a more gripping story. Hopefully a new director will not only bring intensity without shakiness, but a screenplay for Catching Fire needs some depth to the characters, which Haymitch and Peeta, to a lesser extent, desperately lacked. Also, without spoilers, the Arena in CF has to reflect the Gamemakers' ability to alter the weather and environment as a whole - the lack of hot/cold/rain/hunger/thirst in Hunger Games was the biggest flaw I saw.
Blank | April 6, 2012 3:53 PM
It could be an epic movie, like, say, the first Star Wars, but the director botched it. Hopefully the next director will know when to hold the camera steady and when to let it go shaky. The movie felt like cheaply shot when it was shaky all the time. It drove people nuts. It left so much to be desired. So it is good to have a new director.
Oogle monster | April 6, 2012 3:16 PM
Variety is going to be SO pissed you guys broke the story. You know how upset the Variety boys get when they aren't the first ones to tweet: EXCLUSIVE! BREAKING! CLICK HERE!!!
Joe S | April 6, 2012 2:56 PM
This is great news since the first movie was so mediocre. The only people who are claiming to love it are those that read the book first and already have the emotional connections to the characters.
For the rest of us, the movie didn't do the legwork needed to get us to care one bit about what was going on. See ya Gary!
Rachael | April 6, 2012 2:50 PM
Hmmmm ⦠the more I think and hear about this, the more fishy it seems. The statement in this article about Gary simply "not having the desire" to stick with the franchise makes ZERO sense. ZERO. We KNOW from EVERY interview heâs done that he was FULLY planning on doing Catching Fire and he fought hard to direct this franchise from the beginning. We also know that he even promised his cast that he was in it for the long haul. So itâs clear that the reason given in this article is absolutely NOT true.
Now, if this is all about money, I get it, BUT ⦠it still doesnât totally add up. Reason being â We all now know that this thing is a JUGGERNAUT financially. I just saw a report that itâs even still beating Titanic 3D, which opened Weds, at the box office. If this was ALL about money, it makes zero sense that they would not be able to come to a compromise on numbers. I mean come ON. Itâs not THAT difficult if itâs just a numbers game, given the INSANE amount of money this is bringing in for Lionsgate.
What I worry about is the reports I hear of the Summit brass taking over this division of the studio, or however this all works. Are they trying to change directions in some respects or forcing creative decisions on Gary that he doesnât agree with?? It could be possible. If anything, thatâs what makes the most sense to me by FAR. But even if thatâs the case, could these Summit people really be THAT frakking stupid?? Really?? Even if they donât give a crap about anything but money, donât they understand that losing Gary puts the ENTIRE project at risk?? From schedule to actors to everything?? They could SO easily lose Woody and lord only knows who else. I heard that it's only the main three cast members that are actually under contract, but I'm not sure if that's true. Either way I just ⦠donât get it. It doesnât add up, at ALL. Something strange and VERY FISHY is afoot. And sadly I think weâll be wondering about this all weekend at the very least.
ccbaxter | April 6, 2012 2:37 PM
Thank goodness he's gone. Maybe the next director will use a frickin' tripod!
artvandelay | April 6, 2012 2:26 PM
Have any of you came to the realization that only the three stars signed on for Catching Fire? A lot of big time name actors who were in The Hunger Games signed on because they worked or wanted to work with Gary Ross. Listen to interviews with Woody H., Donald, S., E. Banks, and/or S. Tucci and you will see their admiration is with his story telling and directing. I seriously doubt that any of the four noted above, not including L. Kravitz, will sign on for Catching Fire if Gary Ross isn't involved and they were all pivotal in their roles. This would be awful.
FranklynRules | April 6, 2012 2:13 PM
Switching directors for franchise, ala Harry Potter or Twilight, is par for the course. Not sure why this is surprising.
Oogle monster | April 6, 2012 2:10 PM
I second the Spike Lee and Gavin O'Connor comment. It would be nice to see a woman direct the next film... maybe Patti Jenkins? She has an eye for the gritty. I was just watching Ross on Charlie Rose the other day and he seemed only interested in the first book, so this makes sense. Oh well, I'm sure a million and one other filmmakers are lining up to replace him.
I like this Series a lot | April 6, 2012 1:34 PM
Lionsgate isn't going to go after a big name director. I'm positive Gary Ross saw the writing on the wall in regards to any kind've raise and probably figured Liosngate was going to be more hands on with Catching Fire.
They aren't going to pay the millions up millions that go with a popular name filmmaker - someone who could possibly strongarm the film into being THEIR film & not a sequel - so I'd say Bryan Singer, Alfonso Cuaron and those guys are out. Besides - they're all busy with their respective projects and won't be available until Mockingjay most likely.
I'd hypothesize Liosngate will go after someone similar to Gary Ross. A proven solid filmmaker who doesn't allow any flourishes to get in the way of the narative. A filmmaker with a real sense of storytelling and character above all else.
I'd place my vote behind GAVIN O'CONNOR. Like Ross, he's a proven solid filmmaker - was I the only one who went gaga for Warrior- who can pull out great performances and tone out of a story.
Eleo | April 6, 2012 1:27 PM
Gary Ross's casting choices were so perfect. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks... that man knew what he was doing. Now God knows who will be chosen to play Finnick, probably the most important casting choice in the whole series... RIP Hunger Games Franchise. RIP. :'(
Katy | April 6, 2012 1:17 PM
The article is correct, this is the umpteenth article I seen saying this. Like this one http://movies.ign.com/articles/122/1222501p1.html?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social#.T38WpBv6Xzo.twitter
Doesn't matter too much, I felt the director was pretty damn shoddy in just film design alone for this (I won't even go into the adaptation pieces). I'd like to see someone else take a crack at this.
Wallace | April 6, 2012 12:45 PM
Nicholas winding refn or steven soderbergh
Sarah | April 6, 2012 12:33 PM
This is a crap. I don't believe it for a second.
huxtableJr | April 6, 2012 12:33 PM
K | April 6, 2012 12:30 PM
It'd be nice if the article revealed a source. How valid is this?
Amanda | April 6, 2012 12:28 PM
I really, really hope this is untrue. Although I've seen several articles, I don't think there could be a better director than Gary. He did such a great job with this one and I don't want it to disintegrate into a "Twilight" type movie franchise..
Jen | April 6, 2012 12:27 PM
This article doesn't seem very reliable... This doesn't sound believable. I truly hope it's fake, because I would die if he doesn't direct Catching Fire! He did such a great job with The Hunger Games </3
TH | April 6, 2012 11:55 AM
Although I think he did an admirable job, I'm honestly not too concerned about this. The Harry Potter franchise changed directors numerous times.
lizzie | April 6, 2012 11:55 AM
Nope. I seriously think this is a fake article. Gary loves the series, the cast, and the project too much to leave. He's the one who read the books and then sat down to make it happen with the producer. I really doubt that after all that work he'd just give up like that and especially after all the success. Don't believe articles like this until you get an OFFICIAL word from Gary himself or Lionsgate. I truly believe this is all just one big fat lie.
Dara | April 6, 2012 11:54 AM
Is this super reliable information? It just doesn't make sense. Gary Ross talked so excitedly about filming Catching Fire, saying he had so many ideas about it and everything. He even said in several interviews that he was committed to it....for this article to say that he just wanted to do something different...I don't know...it just sounds inconsistent. And super sudden, at that. Am I naive to wait for a more familiar source to confirm this information, before I decide to believe it?
Jd | April 6, 2012 11:49 AM
This is the best news ever!!!! Maybe this time they can afford a tripod for the camera and I won't get nauseated from the experience iPod watching the film. From now on I will notice what films Gary Ross directs and avoid them like the plague.
RC | April 6, 2012 11:37 AM
aww...i just hope the next director will be good...it will be a whole lot different feel for Catching Fire then...yes i don't like the shaky cam but if the next movie will be awful then i will still prefer Gary Ross i still think he did a good job on the hunger games...
BoyOnFire | April 6, 2012 11:36 AM
Michael Bay, anyone? <------ sarcasm
Zine | April 6, 2012 11:35 AM
Kim | April 6, 2012 11:18 AM
Bummer. I liked "Hunger Games." I thought Ross got the idea of it. I am now kinda' bummed. I really would hate for this to become "Twilight" -esque.
88 | April 6, 2012 11:13 AM
Nice exclusive! Would that Gary Ross mystery project happen to be OUTBACK with Carey Mulligan?
kitcon | April 6, 2012 11:10 AM
They can find someone better suited to the material. And good riddance to the shaky cam.
Chase | April 6, 2012 11:06 AM
At least this guarantees an end to the shaky camera effect for this franchise.

It looks as though LSU won't get a boost to its offensive line with the return of right guard Josh Williford, as Randy Rosetta of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported, via Twitter, that Williford is likely done for the season due to a concussion suffered Oct. 6.
Rosetta reports that Williford is still dealing with lingering effects from the concussion, and says that a "couple" of sources confirm that Williford will be out for the remainder of the season.
It was originally thought that Williford might play against Alabama following a practice Oct. 31, but he regressed and signs of his concussion were still evident, and he did not suit up for that game on Nov. 3, which ended in a 21-17 loss for the Tigers.
Williford suffered the concussion in the second quarter against Florida Oct. 6.
Redshirt freshman Trai Turner has started and played well in Williford's absence.

NAPLES: People gathered in Naples to defend what they call the "American dream." Their protests were aimed at protecting workers' rights. It was just one of more than 600 rallies that took place across the country.
Tuesday, the group signed a letter to Senator Bill Nelson, urging him to stand up against republican proposed budget cuts they say are killing the American dream.
Organizers of the rally say recent proposed cuts of more than $100-billion would mean cutting community health centers, student financial aid, and preschool programs.
They say they'd like to see big corporations taxed to make up the country's budget deficit instead of cutting from public services.
And they're not alone.
Across the country Tuesday, there were rallies just like the one in Naples being held in every state. In fact, there were 678 in all.

Born a twin on April Fools Day, 1976 in Bucharest, Romania, Leo Frincu spent the formative years of his life struggling under the oppressive weight of Communism. From the age he could stand on his own two feet, Leo spent hours in line waiting for the weeks ration of water, food, and basic necessities.
At age six, after wrestling one too many classmates, a neighbor suggested to Leos weary parents that he join the Steaua Wrestling Team. Barefoot, with ragged attire and equipment but fistfuls of discipline, Leo displayed a remarkable affinity for takedowns and throws.
His love for wrestling outweighing the harsh conditions of Communism, Leo managed to rack up several accomplishments. Awarded with six Romanian Wrestling Championships and several International Gold Medals, he went on to win the World Championship Title in 1994 at the age of 18. Combining his work ethic, knowledge, and adherence to discipline, Leo found a way to share his passion for athleticism with others of all ages and walks of life. RESULTS STUDIO became the embodiment of Leos burning desire to contribute to the community by enabling people to overcome personal adversity and reach their highest goals. More Info >>

TALES FROM THE BACKLINE: "Keep riding that wave"
We have found a way to keep winning games, which was one of our major problems last year. Every time we seemed to be the superior team on the field, we still lost close games by one goal. This year, I have the feeling that we finally found a way to solve the mysterious winning equation.
It took us a long time to figure out the x- variable in this equation, but it could be that the newly improved team chemistry might have been one of the missing pieces. The two wins over the weekend showed that we are more determined than ever to become champions.
The 2-1 win against ETSU was important for us because we had to come back from a 1-0 hole. I really like the fact that we are more versatile this year. We do not depend on one single player. Instead, we have had several guys stepping up for us in the last two weeks. This week it was Darko Karamatic, who scored two goals and deserved his A-Sun "Player of the Week" award.
Although we are doing a lot of things right at the moment, we cannot lose sight of our ultimate goal: winning the A-Sun tournament. We could lay back and be content with the nine points we have so far, but we have a higher standard than simply racing off to a good start. We have to search for bigger waves to surf, and there is one coming up in Tennessee this weekend.
We have to show that we are mentally tough. We've had a small taste of winning, but we have to strive for more. We cannot be satisfied with what we have achieved so far; we have to stay hungry because only hungry dolphins will risk the journeys to new shores, and only hungry dolphins will be successful at the end because they do everything it takes to be ahead of everyone else. Stay hungry; not thirsty my friends; and let's get the six points on the weekend.

After the rookie RB class of 2008 stole the show a year ago, '09 was all about receivers and linebackers, as more than a few players emerged as stars at each position. With that, here is the Pro Football Weekly/Professional Football Writers of America All-Rookie team.
Numbers don't always tell the whole story. While Jets QB Mark Sanchez tossed 20 interceptions compared to just 12 touchdowns in his 15 starts, he played steadily enough down the stretch to lead New York to an unexpected playoff berth. He also displayed composure and leadership skills well beyond his years.
Although not as productive as their '08 predecessors, the '09 All-Rookie backs are a formidable duo. Denver's Knowshon Moreno led all rookies with 947 rushing yards, adding 213 yards receiving and scoring nine times despite sharing the workload. Similarly, the Cardinals' Beanie Wells was also part of a split backfield, but he emerged as the go-to guy late and wound up running for 793 yards and seven TDs.
Offensively, wide receivers ruled the roost among '09 rookies, with Percy Harvin and Austin Collie standing out most. Harvin made an impact for Minnesota right away, as the athletic phenom finished with 60 catches for 790 yards and six TDs. Collie, meanwhile, wasn't expected to be a major contributor for the Colts but got an opportunity after an injury to Anthony Gonzalez. He became a favorite target for Peyton Manning and had 60-676-7 receiving.
In a weak TE class, the Lions' Brandon Pettigrew showed more than his positional mates. Although a torn ACL limited him to 11 games, Pettigrew showed flashes of being an outstanding blocker and adequate pass catcher.
Up front, C Alex Mack started all 16 games for the Browns and brought stoutness to the position, not making mistakes and living up to his lofty billing.
On either side of Mack are the Bills' Andy Levitre and San Diego's Louis Vasquez. Playing mostly at left guard, Levitre played well and proved to be durable, starting every game for a very banged-up unit. With Vasquez, the Chargers found an effective player who was up and down but did what was asked of him. He started 14 games and helped keep Pro Bowl QB Philip Rivers upright.
Anchoring the outside of the line are Baltimore's Michael Oher and the Vikings' Phil Loadholt. Although much was made of his ability to protect the blind side, Oher mostly manned the right side for the Ravens and was a 16-game starter. He was solid as both a pass protector and run blocker, clearing the way for a huge year from RB Ray Rice. Also starting at right tackle, Loadholt turned out to be the big, nasty lineman Minnesota needed. He was able to stay low despite his 6-foot-8 frame and kept Brett Favre clean.
An athletic player with some question marks coming out of Temple, Jaguars DT Terrance Knighton exceeded just about all expectations. He was tops among all rookie linemen with 45 tackles and started every game. Next to him inside is B.J. Raji, a top-10 draft selection who played the nose in Green Bay's 3-4 scheme. Although he was plagued by an ankle injury all year, Raji made his presence felt when Ryan Pickett went down.
Lining up at the ends are AFC West foes Matt Shaughnessy of Oakland and Tyson Jackson of Kansas City. An injury to Greg Ellis opened the door for Shaughnessy to make an impact as a rotational player, as the third-rounder piled up four sacks. Jackson, meanwhile, did not live up to the hype after being the third overall pick last April, but he was a full-time starter and finished with 38 tackles, a fair number for a 3-4 end.
Defensively, linebacker is clearly the spot at which this class shined. Nobody was better than the Texans' Brian Cushing, who set a physical tone for the Houston "D." He proved to be an all-around star, piling up 133 tackles, four sacks and four INTs on his way to a Pro Bowl nod. Not far behind Cushing is former USC teammate Clay Matthews, who improved the Packers' defense greatly once he entered the starting lineup. He was a big-play machine, recording 10 sacks and three fumble recoveries, and he was named to the Pro Bowl team as a replacement. Lastly, the Redskins' Brian Orakpo stood out while rotating between linebacker and D-end, an impressive feat for a rookie. His 11 sacks helped land him on the Pro Bowl roster.
Manning the corners for the All-Rookie club are the Dolphins' Vontae Davis and the Colts' Jacob Lacey. Although he gave up some big plays, Davis frequently put his top-notch physical skills on display, finishing with four interceptions and 52 tackles. Not even drafted in April, Lacey turned out to be a godsend for an Indy secondary that was decimated by injuries. Despite making just nine starts, he had a terrific 85 tackles, 13 passes defended and three picks.
Rounding out the defense are safeties Jairus Byrd of the Bills and Louis Delmas of Detroit. Byrd proved to be quite a ballhawk in Year One, tying for the league lead with nine interceptions and helping Buffalo rank No. 2 against the pass; he's headed to the Pro Bowl. Delmas, meanwhile, was the lone bright spot in a dismal secondary. A tough player and hard hitter, he had 94 tackles and two picks, one of which he returned for a 101-yard TD.
PK Ryan Succop, "Mr. Irrelevant," proved quite relevant for the Chiefs, drilling 25-of-29 field-goal attempts. For the Colts, Pat McAfee did more than just punt, also emerging as the best kickoff guy the team has had in years.
In addition to being an All-Rookie receiver, Percy Harvin also made the squad as a kick returner, averaging 27.5 yards and taking two kicks back for scores. The Bengals' Quan Cosby was also a very effective return man in Year One. Despite going undrafted, he made explosive plays and gained 11.9 yards per punt return.
Arizona's LaRod Stephens-Howling, a seventh-rounder, stepped up as an exceptional special-teams gunner. In Week 12 alone, he downed three punts inside the opponents' five-yard line.

Line a baking sheet with parchment or spray well with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Cut the salmon into thin "fingers" (not too small – they will shrink when cooked) and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for about 8-minutes, until just cooked through (don't be tempted to overcook these). Squeeze the hoisin into lines where the "finger joints" would be.

Puree the soup until very smooth. Place the pureed soup in a clean pot and repeat the process until all the soup is pureed. Taste the soup, adjust the seasonings and reheat until hot.

ANDERSON, Ind. — Nearly a year ago, Seth Kelley was just one of many parents in Portland, Ore., watching his daughter compete in the Little League Major Softball World Series.
He watched from the stands as his daughter, Emma, and her teammates on the Riverfield Major Softball All-Star team took the Indiana State title before making their way through the Central Region Tournament, clinching a berth to Portland along with several teams from all around the world.
Today, as Riverfield begins its quest to claim another Indiana state title, Seth will have a much different vantage point. He will feel even more pressure when players other than her daughter go to the plate.
This post-season tournament run, he isn't just Emma's father; he's her team's manager.
Today, Riverfield will face the District 6 winner from South Bend at 2 p.m. in Lebanon. They will play three more games before Sunday in pool play, and the top four teams will advance to two semi-finals games played Tuesday at 2 p.m. with a championship game at 5 p.m.
Riverfield's manager, along with Emma, Rachael Duncan, Kalin Hubble and Myrcle Settles all had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere and the pressure in Portland last year, where the team finished fourth.
Seth said that last year's team had some girls who displayed some remarkable leadership and helped launch Riverfield past the state and regional levels. Yet, one thing this season's squad has that last year's didn't is experience at the highest level to go along with a core of 10 girls who have been playing together on travel teams since they were seven or eight years old.
"It's huge," Riverfield's manager said. "It's probably the difference between winning state championships and not. Teams we'll face in the state, and if we happen to get past the state tournament and get farther into the post season, every team has that group of girls who have been playing together for a long time."

Parents unhook baby from monitors, take her
Originally published: Dec 13, 2012 - 5:00 am
Two Pennsylvania parents were arrested after they allegedly unhooked their 3-month-old baby from monitors and attempted to take her to another hospital.
According to NBC Philadelphia, the couple, April Saul and Danny Rivera, felt their daughter, who has Downs Syndrome and heart defects, was not getting the care she needed at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
"All we wanted was the best, optimum healthcare for our daughter," Saul told NBC10. "We were just desperate to get our child where we needed her to be."
Saul said she and Rivera had begged Lehigh Valley for a transfer to Children's Hospital, but officials at the Allentown facility refused, telling her Medicaid wouldn't pay for it. She contends the hospital was "uncooperative" and never formally asked for a transfer.
When the couple attempted to take their child, they claimed they were physically accosted by staffers. They were arrested en route to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The Lehigh Valley Hospital staff contends the child was not medically ready for transfer and they had reached out to CHOP.
The couple has vowed to fight the hospital's decision and the charges of endangering the welfare of children and disorderly conduct.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

A new look at the role of hero and villain in Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner."
"Chicken With Plums" is a grand, romantic life story about love, loss, regret and the sadness that can be evoked by a violin — not only through music, but through the instrument itself. It is all melancholy and loss, and delightfully comedic, with enough but not too much magic realism. The story as it stands could be the scenario for an opera.
The film begins in Tehran in 1958, when the shah ruled a secular Iran not yet stilted by Islamic fundamentalism. Little is made of politics in the film, and still less of religion; it is all told through the soulful eyes of a master violinist named Nasser Ali, played by the familiar French actor Mathieu Amalric; as you may recall, they were expressive enough to carry his whole performance in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." Freely moving between past and present, the film paints his middle-class Persian family as he develops into a mediocre violinist, meets and loses the great love of his life, and transforms his pain into greatness.
"Chicken With Plums" was shot on soundstages in Berlin, creating an intimate Tehran that is sometimes enhanced by animation and by several clouds of smoke, one that a savant tells Nasser Ali contains the soul of his mother (Isabella Rossellini). The extraordinary cast also includes Maria de Medeiros as Faringuisse, the wife his family made him marry; Golshifteh Farahani as Irane, the clockmaker's daughter who is the love of his life; Edouard Baer as Azrael, the Angel of Death who is the narrator, and Chiara Mastroianni as Lili, Nasser Ali's daughter as an adult.
An unashamedly romantic score by Olivier Bernet deepens the film's emotions, as Nasser Ali briefly feels the ecstasy of love and then descends into a lifelong depression that leads to him going to bed and deciding to die. We see some of the events that led him to this extreme, but the film has no bad people, except for Irane's father (Serge Avedikiane), who angrily denies the violinist the hand of his daughter. How could she reject him? How can she tell him, 20 years later, that she has no memory of him? A closing scene is hopelessly sad. Nasser Ali's wife also shares the blame for breaking the treasured violin her husband was given by his master (Didier Flamand). She begins as a screeching harridan and later reveals the touching depths of her own love, expressed when she prepares his favorite dish, chicken with plums, and brings it to him on his deathbed.
The co-directors and writers are Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, whose film of her autobiographical graphic novel "Persepolis" was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award. Working here in live action with an adaptation of another of her graphic novels, they give themselves more stylistic freedom than even animation allows. One of the film's particular strengths is its portrait of an Iran that sheltered invaluable little shops and expressive old savants, and had not yet been dragged into the future — or the past, you decide.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
