Skipped the step of parboiling the mushrooms - I just lightly rubbed them with olive oil. Loved the cream cheese/shrimp mixture - I used medium shrimp as I like their flavor better than the tiny shrimp, regular cream cheese, chopped fresh chives and just a tiny bit of minced onion. Romano cheese is quite pungent, so I used just a light sprinkling of Parmesan instead. A sprinkling of finely chopped fresh parsley prettied these up. Very good!
Kara, thank you for a wonderful recipe. I made these stuffed mushrooms exactly per the directions and ingredients given. They were absolutely wonderful and are now a permanent recipe for cocktail gatherings in our house. Everyone enjoyed them over the Christmas holiday and requests for the recipe were frequent. Thank you for a KEEPER!!!
I didn't simmer the mushrooms (just drizzled them with olive oil before the final baking) and I used regular cooked shrimp that I roughly chopped up. Great little appetizer - quick, easy and tasty! Thanks, Kara!

Larry Cordle Schedules New Album and Three Singles; Will, Wills and Willie; Introduction to the Westbound Rangers
- Larry Cordle has a new album, Pud Marcum's Hangin', scheduled for a March 15 release and three singles scheduled for release tomorrow.
For country fans, Cordle offers his own expressive version of a song first recorded by country star Trace Adkins in 2008, "Sometimes a Man Takes a Drink." The lighthearted "Uncle Bob Got Religion," with its culminating Pentecostal breakdown chorus, leans toward a more rootsy edge definitive of the Americana crowd. Last is the title track, which vividly recounts a true story and features bluegrass icon Del McCoury's unmistakable tenor.
- For the latest Hot Club of Cowtown record, What Makes Bob Holler, the band paid tribute to the influence of Bob Wills with a collection of covers. Will Taylor and Strings Attached used their new record to pay tribute to Wills as well, only with a different approach. Instead of covering Wills' songs, the band covered Willie Nelson songs and re-imagined them in the style of Bob Wills. If you're keeping track, that's Will covering Willie in the style of Wills. Austin 360 has a brief Q&A with Will Taylor about the project.
- Bluegrass Country posted an audio interview and new tunes from The Greencards.
- Randy Fox editorialized the life and influence Charlie Louvin for Nashville Scene:
Over the years much of the attention has focused on Ira, which is understandable. Ira's life and personality make for great copy — mercurial, stubborn, locked in a cycle that swung between drunken womanizing and Pentecostal guilt and redemption, until his tragic death in 1965 from an automobile accident. But Charlie was just as much of a character in his own way. He had much of the same temper and stubbornness, but it was balanced by sobriety, a good head for business and a dead-serious attitude about his music.
- The Ryman Auditorium has been named Pollstar's theater of the year for the third time by concert industry professionals.
- Sarah Buxton talked to The Boot about the formation and dissolution of her duo Buxton Hughes, the possibility of signing another major label deal, and new music.
I can confidently say that I will probably never be a major-label country artist ever again, unless something is offered to me that is more on my terms. When I was signed to Lyric Street, I was always packing and unpacking. I always had a flight to catch. Now, I'm able to be home with my husband and my best friends, and really focus on putting the music first.
- Actress Jana Kramer debuted a new country single titled "I Won't Give Up" on One Tree Hill a couple of days ago.
- Chris Young commented on 10 of his favorite Grammy-winning country songs for CMT.
"King of the Road," Roger Miller
To me, that's the perfect example of a song that lives and breathes on its own. There's not a lot to that. Where that melody switches, when it does that little modulation thing … there are so many things that are so simple, but so perfect and done at the right moment in the song. Some of the visuals in that song are so different, you know? "Trailers for sale or rent" … just that line, in and of itself, who would think, "This is how I'm going to start this song"? It's such a great space that he had to be in when the song was written. Everybody loves singing that.
- Chely Wright discusses her song "Damn Liar."
- Vince Gill on the importance of "The Randall Knife" to him, which is a song he's recording for the November release of This One's for Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark:
Yeah, that song is a real bond between Guy and I. I played guitar on the first version he ever did (on 1983′s "Better Days"), and I'll never forget it. We were playing, and giant tears were falling all over my guitar. (Like Clark's father), my dad was a lawyer, and he died when I was 40. Guy gave me the original lyric to "The Randall Knife" as a present.
When Guy talks, that's what you think God's gonna sound like. I think I'm gonna wake up at five in the morning and do it when my voice is as low as possible (laughs). You know, that song inspired a song I wrote for my father when he passed away called "The Key to Life." There's a reference: "The pain of losing him cuts like a Randall knife." Guy and I are somewhat tied at the hip through that song.
Jewly Hight profiled the Westbound Rangers, a string band that she says recently made what feels like their first true album in Southern Bread and Butter for It.
Coincidentally enough, Pierce Greenberg sent some videos of the band over this morning, too. So check 'em out: "Pushwater," "Old Yeller Dog" and "Time," which is intermingled with an interview.

Hey, what's supposed to be the link to Jewly's piece on the Westbound Rangers is actually a link to one of their videos. Jewly's piece is here:
Editor's note: Thanks! I got it fixed.
"Pud Marcum's Hanging" is a great song; I was in the band when he wrote it, and we did it on one or maybe two shows, but it was still pretty rough. I'm betting Cordle crushed it in the studio.
I was half paying attention to OTH when Kramer's song started up, and it eventually grabbed my full attention, for whatever that's worth.
Speaking of Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell said yesterday that he wrote Til I Can Gain Control Again to impress Townes Van Zandt and justify the faith Guy Clark had showed in him.
I really enjoyed The Boot's short interview with Sarah Buxton, although I'm sorry to read that "Buxton-Hughes" was short lived. I wanted to see them perform together live but wasn't about to attend a "Country Throwdown" tour (or whatever that thing was called in 2010) to do it. Oh well.
I think Will Taylor should have applied the Willie Nelson style to Willie's many covers of Bob Wills songs such as on the Songs of Cindy Walker tribute album "You Don't Know Me"! Or something like that anyway…
Elizabeth Cook described Charlie Louvin as "a pistol". Its nice to read more details about his life in The Nashville Scene.

Mystery Stash Yarns: Determining Yarn Weights
It's difficult to organize your yarn, especially when most of it has been given to you by family members cleaning out their attics. Or maybe your stash is composed of skeins you picked up from secondhand stores along with scrap yarn from old knitting or crochet projects.
Inheriting yarn and having a huge stash to choose from is great, especially for scrap yarn projects. But when you're using these mystery bits and pieces for projects, you need to know the yarn weight in order to substitute the correct yarn, and often this information isn't available on the yarn. It could be because the label is torn or yellowed — or maybe there's no label at all.
Don't worry. All is not lost! You can calculate the yarn weight with a handy little knitting secret called WPI (Wraps Per Inch).
What you'll need:
- Your mystery yarn
- A ruler
- An object with a consistent circumference, such as a pencil
Note: It's also an option to wrap your mystery yarn around a ruler, eliminating the need for an object with a consistent circumference. You can even buy a special WPI (wraps per inch) tool that has notches to hold the yarn in place while you wrap and comes with a handy card to help you categorize.
How to determine your yarn weight:
Begin by wrapping the yarn around the pencil. Don't wrap too tightly. The goal is to get the yarn strands as close as possible without overlapping them or leaving holes. Usually wrapping about an inch should give you an accurate measurement, but if you're using a yarn with a shape that isn't consistent, like an eyelash yarn, you should wrap it for more than an inch to get the most accurate measurement possible.
Once you've wrapped your yarn, count the number of times you wrapped it around the pencil within the first inch.
WPI chart
> 8.5 sts/inch
Fyberspates Scrumptious Lace Yarn
7-8 sts/inch
5.75-6.5 sts/inch
5.5-6 sts/inch
4-5 sts/inch
Cascade Venezia worsted yarn
3-3.75 sts/inch
Super Bulky
1.5-3 sts/inch
So for example, if your yarn wrapped around the pencil eight times in one inch, your yarn is bulky-weight. If the yarn wrapped around the pencil 16 times in an inch, it's a sport-weight yarn.
If you were wrapping a yarn with a funky texture as mentioned above and you wrapped extra inches, just do a little bit of math to find your WPI. If your eyelash yarn wrapped around the pencil 30 times in 2 inches, for instance, just divide 30 by 2 to find that your WPI is 15, making your eyelash yarn sport-weight.
How does WPI work?
Yarn weight is determined by the diameter of a yarn strand, right? Bulky-weight yarns work up quickly because the yarn strand is thick in diameter. Lace weights are airy because their strands are thinner. Wrapping the yarn around the pencil determines whether the yarn wraps many times around the pencil, like a lighter-weight yarn would, or the yarn doesn't wrap as many times around the pencil, like a heavier-weight yarn would.
Don't know what all of these different yarn weights mean? Learn all about them in our article From Lace to Bulky: Know Your Knitting Yarn Weights.
Do you have a lot of mystery yarns in your stash? Have you ever used this handy WPI technique to calculate the yarn weight?

Very helpful method for all of those mystery skeins in my stash–thanks for sharing, Ashley!
A good guide but I am confused on one point: I don't understand how you can substitute the ruler for the pencil, as the yarn required for just one wrap is different for both, correct? Doesn't the thickness of the pencil orruler or other object matter in the calculations?
Great information! I've only been up for about an hour this morning and already I have learned something new. Thank you for sharing this.
love this! question…. will doing more than an inch of wrapping still work for a thick and thin (irregular diameter) type yarn?
This is really handy, thanks!
However, I think it would be somewhat less confusing to not use the word "weight". You aren't calculating the weight, but the category of the yarn (Lace, Fingering, DK, etc). I know that these are known as 'weights', but when I think of weight I think of yardage per 50gm ball, for example, not the stitch count.
Which, yes, all amounts to the same thing in the end, but I thought initially you were going to teach how to actually weigh our yarn (which can also be done to determine potential gauge of a mystery yarn).
Thank you. Very useful information.
Thank you for an interesting article. How can I tell if an unlabeled yarn is acrylic or wool?
Hi, that is a great help! But does it also work with centimeters instead of inches?
Is there a way to tell if the yarn is wool or other fibers?
Thanks for the info! If the wpi is between 22 and 35, is it fingering or lace? Thanks for this handy trick!
Thank you this is really useful information but are these weights American because I think they differ from UK weights. For example I don't know what is meant by worsted, fingering or sport.
I have the wpi tool, but it is always useful to know more than one method of doing anything. Thank you for posting this.
I'm sorry but as far as I can tell, this method is not a reliable way to determine the weight/gauge of a yarn. It's been show in other publications (Spin Off magazine I believe) that given the same instructions, different people wrap the yarn at slightly different tensions, causing a wide variance in measurements. Most yarns are stretchy. When you say 'Don't wrap too tightly', exactly how tight is that? For example, small changes in tension can cause the measurement go from 13 (DK) to 15 (Sport) WPI. Which one is it? A popular knitting magazine used to list WPI for yarns recommended in their patterns. One day I sat down and compared WPI for one specific yarn across a year's worth of issues of the same magazine. Each issue had listed a different WPI for the same yarn! Some issues listed a WPI indicating DK, others indicated Sport. This is a neat method for getting a very rough approximation, but IMHO I'm not sure how useful it is.
In the end it comes down to gauge. Taking the time to make a swatch is the tried and true method of knowing if a pattern will work with the yarn in stock. Our individual tensions as we crochet is just as much a variable as the tension we'd use to wrap the yarn around the ruler or pencil. It gives a rough idea, then swatch. Thanks for sharing this technique. It was explained very clearly.

Happy New Year!
This year's columns will be taking a different stance than usual. Instead of topical events, for which I am out of the loop, I am going to cover game theory, making saleable games, larp, and kids (in some vague order).
Specifically, we shall look at why most games suck. For this, we need to look at games from the outside, in order to improve them. We also need to look at gamers, and what they want.
I think many publishers love their own customers, but have at least a vague dislike of 'gamers', defined as "all those folks buying other people's products, but not mine."
This goes hand in hand with "I've written a great product that will be the next big thing", which, when it fails, always means "those morons didn't get my genius!"
Fortunately, as an accredited mad scientist, I'm trained to recognize such behavior. The fools, I'll teach them all!
Actually, I'm being pretty serious with the 'mad scientist' comparison.
I think the lack of market studies and focus groups (or at least blind playtesting, for gosh sakes) means a lot of creators are creating from their gut, from their heart. All truly great things come from there, but, umm... how to put this, so does a lot of crap. Good writers have editors to keep them focused and relevant, but good publishers have only 'the market'. And unlike editing, the market is purely pass/fail.
It's easier to blame the customers for this industry, than ourselves. What the "market" really need to provide to "gamers" is good games. In order to do that, we have to discard the usual game creation steps:
When you run a good game, it's because you're good at the run-time experience. Good at GMing, good at handling a game event. But a good game as a product, standing on its own, requires a certain rigour in its creation. It has to be easy, yet bulletproof. It has to appeal to everyone, yet challenge them. It has to be familiar, yet novel.
We'll start with the Kilgallon Paradox. Stated succinctly, it says:
RPGs emphasize combat. But if the game has problem-solving, I'm the best problem solver I know. Therefore, problem-solving isn't roleplay. So why have a non-combat character, since any non-combat details are just schtick.
The Kilgallon Paradox goes a long way towards explaining why so many RPGs dedicate the bulk of their rules towards combat. The corrolary is that players then think, "if there's so many rules about combat, I guess that's what is most important."
Net result: games focus on combat, and thus attract a specific audience: people who want fantasy fighting.
Now, one of my recent works was basically a "sneaker" (non-combat mystery) adventure, set in Redhurst Academy of Magic. From this, our gaming group springboarded into "Redhurst: CSI" as a campaign idea.
From a game theory point of view, this was possible only because Redhurst contains the tools to make combat difficult, if not impossible. If combat is not an option, suddenly players have to do "other stuff". And we've had fun.
But we still haven't really escaped the Kilgallon Paradox. Suddenly, the players are thinking and interacting, but they're solving puzzles as, well, players. They aren't interacting with the environment in a character-based sense, rather, they are receiving character input, solving things as players, then feeding that back to their characters.
Here's an (poor) example of the difference between character-based and player-based problem solving.
Player-based: Hmm... the orcs are attacking in a line, I should use burning hands to slow them, so the rangers can leisurely shoot them full of arrows.
Character-based: Hmm... the orcs are attacking but I'm a first level magic user with no combat experience and low wisdom, so I should probably just run away.
Well, gee, the last one is "realistic", but not terribly fun. And "the most fun way to play the game should always be the most rewarding" (Larry DeMar, Game Developer, Nov 2003). So we are suddenly left with 2 problems. Can we resolve the Kilgallon Paradox? And should we, or would it change what we think of as an RPG?

Competition for exclusive customers: comparing equilibrium and welfare under one-part and two-part pricing
AbstractThis paper compares one-part and two-part pricing in a discrete-continuous choice model, providing more extensive welfare results than prior literature. Under two-part pricing, firms may set fixed fees with or without `unit-price commitment,' where the lack of unit-price commitment is consistent with `after-market monopolization.' We find that two-part pricing with unit-price commitment is firms' dominant unilateral and joint pricing policy. Two-part pricing without unit-price commitment is the least desirable policy from a welfare standpoint. Under appropriate conditions, one-part pricing produces the highest consumer and social welfare, but the lowest profits.

In Honor Of National Nurses Week: Celebs Who Were Nurses
This week is Nurses Week and to honor some of the hardest working men and women in medicine, we take a look at celebrities who started their careers in nursing and other medical professions before becoming famous.
Kim Zolciak
For five seasons she was one of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and we watched her go from a single mother of two to become a football wife with four more children. Kim Zolciak credits Nene Leakes and RHOA for changing her life because she met her future husband Kroy Biermann through the show. But before she moved down to Atlanta to begin life anew, Zolciak was actually a nurse. She studied and received her degree from the University of Connecticut.
Whoopi And Ladies Of "The View" Blame Kenya For RHOA Fight; Civil Rights Group Color Of Change Blames Bravo, Andy Cohen
Another day, another perspective on the fight between Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore during part one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special. This time, it comes from another group of ladies–the women of The View.
Earlier this week while speaking on all the ugliness, the women (who were joined by special co-host Angie Martinez) seemed to all agree that Kenya Moore was to blame for the fight. As Martinez put it, "Don't start none, won't be none."
Sherri Shepherd had this to say about the uncomfortable scene:
"I don't excuse Porsha for hitting her, but I say, Kenya, I'm not excusing you either. You had a scepter that you kept putting in people's faces. Also you took out a bullhorn and a bullhorn is meant to be heard from people hundreds of [inaudible] away from you."
Whoopi also gave her two cents, with a bit more passion, saying that Kenya isn't really being the role model she claims to be.
"I'm just going to say this. I read the statement that Kenya put out and I will ask you, Kenya, do you think it was okay for you to provoke people? Because if you're worried about your image and how people are going to see you, I don't know if messing with people like this is the right thing to do…"
When speaking on Porsha's bad decision to put her hands on Kenya, Whoopi jokingly said, "I would have done it too!"
But the blame doesn't just fall on Kenya or Porsha in the realm of public opinion. The activist group and organization Color of Change put out a statement blasting Bravo and executive producer Andy Cohen for allowing such a scene to happen. According to Shadow and Act, they are calling for a "no excessive confrontations policy," the same policy that was put in place for the Basketball Wives Miami show after things got too crazy with that reality show back in 2012.
The physical violence displayed during Bravo's Sunday primetime lineup was deeply alarming. After weeks of promoting the RHOA reunion altercation on Sunday, executive producer Andy Cohen finally condemned the violent behavior of cast members — completely ignoring the staged hostile environment that provoked the altercation and the troubling pattern of violent, stereotypical portrayals of Black people across many of Bravo's Black reality franchises.
Research shows that dehumanizing portrayals of Black people on television lead to real-world consequences for Black folks — influencing how we are treated by doctors, judges, teachers and lawmakers. No matter how entertaining, this should be the last fight between Black women that Bravo profits from.
As for Cohen, he didn't respond directly to Color of Change as of yet, but he took to Twitter to say that after considering the opinions of viewers, he wasn't going to allow props on the show anymore.
A little too late, but that sounds like a good idea, Andy. Watch the convo between the ladies of The View below.
Whoopi Is 'The Denver Post's New Pot Columnist
Whoopi Goldberg is the newest columnist for The Denver Post's site on marijuana, The Cannabist. Her first column published today, focused on her vape pen named Sippy which, she says "changed her life." Whoopi gets "glaucoma-induced headaches" and a few puffs on her pen does wonders.
"With the vape pen, you have more control over how much THC you ingest. If my headache is just starting, I know a short sip will take care of it. If the pressure inside my head is pounding, then two or three sips is a better prescription," she writes.
Goldberg will write the column every couple of months.
The gig came about after the column's editor, Ricardo Baca, appeared on The View. "We instantly connected, and her curiosity and desire to discuss the issues surrounding America's ever-changing marijuana laws immediately reminded me of my colleagues back in Denver," he said. Baca admits on the show that he does smoke pot himself (he was previously the paper's music critic for 12 years ans says the editors knew he was "familiar"), but the paper only tests people when "they give them a reason to."
Cannabis has been legal in different ways, shapes and forms in Colorado since 2000. With the most recent recreational legalization, Baca says the paper is looking at the lifestyle associated with pot and there are even critics writing for the paper. There are growing businesses surrounding marijuana legalization that certainly lend themselves to this sort of coverage.
As for Whoopi, she ends her first column on a serious note, extolling those places that have made marijuana legal and the pain management freedom that her Sippy has given her.
10 Personalities Who Could Replace David Letterman On The Late Show
David Letterman has been a fixture on late-night television since 1982, but last Friday he announced that he will be hanging up his talk show hat after more than 30 years of interviewing celebrities and giving us his top ten lists. Even though Letterman will retire in 2015, there is already speculation about who will replace him on the Late Show. Here are ten candidates we're rooting for.
Steve Colbert
Stephen Colbert starred in the cult Comedy Central show "Strangers with Candy" as the hilarious closeted gay high school teacher before moving on to become a correspondent at the "Daily Show." In 2005 he was given his own spin-off show and took his mock staunch conservative stance to new heights on the "Colbert Report." Colbert's contract with Comedy Central is up in December so that plus his extensive knowledge in pop culture and politics makes him a great candidate to take over for Letterman.
One And Done: Celebrity Moms Who Stopped After One Baby
Some celebrity moms have seen their families grow by having multiple children while these stars have closed up shop after having only one child.
Tamar Braxton
When fans met Tamar Braxton as part of the hit reality show "Braxton Family Values," she was adamant about not having a child at the time. Ready to finally kick off her solo career just right, the baby sibling of six wanted to focus on her singing even though husband Vince was ready to become a father. Last June, Tamar gave birth to her son Logan and insisted this will be her first, her last, and her only.

Check Out A First Scene From "A Day Late And A Dollar Short" Starring Whoopi Goldberg
Who else is super excited for the TV movie based on Terry McMillan's New York Times bestseller, A Day Late and a Dollar Short? After a whole lot of talk and confusion for fans of the book as to when the movie would finally be made and how, the TV movie is all set to premiere on Saturday, April 19 on Lifetime (at 8/7c by the way). Good news! If you can't wait that long, clips from the film have already come out to get you even more excited for April.
The film of course follows Viola Price (played by Whoopi Goldberg), her trifling husband, Cecil (played by Ving Rhames), their four grown children and the tumultuous relationship they all have.
Here's the full description for background:
In A Day Late and a Dollar Short, when irascible matriarch Viola Price (Goldberg) learns that her next asthma attack will likely kill her, she is determined to fix her fractured family before she leaves this world, from her relationship with her husband (Rhames), to the lives of her four children and grandchildren. While on this quest, she must contend with sibling rivalry, teen pregnancy and prescription drug addiction – and that is only one child. Additionally, her jailbird son (Pfifer) needs to learn how to be a better father, her granddaughter is in bigger trouble than her daughter is willing to admit and her estranged husband needs saving from his scheming younger girlfriend. It's the kind of meddling that the Price family hasn't experienced from Viola in decades, and she won't have an easy time bending her loved ones to her will.
In the clip provided below, Price awakens at the hospital with her kids and husband standing around her, arguing about whose fault it is that she's in such a bad state.
Other major players in this movie include Anika Noni Rose, Kimberly Elise, and Tichina Arnold, who along with Phifer, play her adult children.
The preview clip alone is already quite entertaining, but you check it out for yourself and let us know if you will be tuning in come April 19.

Celebs Who Traced Their DNA Roots
With advancements in modern technology, we can now have our DNA traced back hundreds of years with just a couple swabs of the cheek. As you know, the MN editorial staff is currently awaiting results of the DNA testing with Ancestry.com, so we decided to shout out these celebrities who went on a hunt to find out where their lineage lies. Here are 15 celebs who traced their DNA roots.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg was born and raised in New York City but after having her DNA traced a few years back, the talk show co-host now has another place to call home. Her genetic make up consists of 92% sub-Saharan African descent. The Sarafina star's ancestors are from the Papel and Bayote tribes, who mainly clustered in what is now modern-day Guinea-Bissau. Goldberg is interested in receiving her citizenship from the tiny African country.
Natural Hair, Don't Care! 12 Successful Women Who Have "Made It" With Their 'Fros & Locs
There's an underlying myth plaguing the African-American community that wearing one's natural tresses is an impediment to success. In the case of Vanessa VanDyke, a 12-year-old girl threatened to be expelled due to her voluminous mane, many people deemed her natural hair to be "unprofessional." But is the issue much deeper than this?
For centuries, the unique characteristics of Black women have been undermined by Eurocentric standards of beauty and we've all been wired to believe that somehow our hair — in its purest, natural state — affects our skills, abilities, and competence in the workplace. Check out some of the ladies who challenged these erroneous notions and grabbed success by the horns — coils, kinks, curls and all.
Big Things Poppin: Whoopi Goldberg Sells New Rom-Com To The Small Screen!
It looks like Olivia and Fitz might soon have some competition in the interracial love race thanks to Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Silverman and Iman and Andy.
The talk show host/producer/actress/comedian and producer Ben Silverman have sold a 30 minute rom-com style show to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Iman & Andy will focus on the relationship between an interracial couple who are trying to keep their romance a big secret. No, not because they're an interracial couple; you see, they work together and don't want people all in their business (some of you know that well, I know). Their supervisor finds out and instead of it being some violation of work place ethics, he forces them to start a vlog so viewers (and their co-workers) can follow their now exposed relationship.
Well, it sounds like it could be an interesting concept. While interracial dating isn't new on television (albeit still a bit taboo), their idea sounds a little more fun. In real life, people love checking out more personal vlogs on Youtube or other media outlets. Let's not forget that men and women love talking relationships so if they keep it fairly genuine to everyday life, there will be situations that people can relate to and chat about at the coffee machine the next day.
Goldberg's partner in the project Ben Silverman is also behind Sofia Vergara's upcoming show on ABC, Raising Mom.
That title though…I don't know. Every time I look at it, I think of Amos & Andy. Is it just me? Maybe it's just a "working title" right now.
Anyway, there's no debut date for Iman & Andy but we can probably keep an eye out for it Fall 2014 or Winter 2015.
Will you check it out?

Congratulations are in order for Anthony Marra, who today took home the 2013 Fiction prize awarded by Barnes and Noble's Discover Great New Writers program. Marra's debut novel A Constellation of Vital Phenomena has been a critical sensation since its release in May of 2013.
Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Fiction, our own Tom Leclair in fact called the book his favorite of the ten NBA nominees, calling Phenomena a "splendid success" and declaring that "Marra's novel is superior to the finalists… it is meta-empathetic, a sophisticated experiment that requires readers to think about how and with whom they empathize, maybe victimizers as well as victims. If you dare having your strongest emotions elicited, then reversed, then possibly modified again, then maybe even judged by a novel, read A Constellation of Vital Phenomena."
This week, the newly award-winning author takes us around the world with three books which – like his own – transport us to new lands and illuminates our broader understanding of the world at large, the peril of wartorn states, and the humane courage of camaraderie and loyalty amongst citizens.
Too Loud a Solitude
By Bohumil Hrabal
"There's probably no book I love more deeply or beat the drum for more loudly than Hrabal's slender masterpiece. It's the story of a wastepaper collector in Prague, who creates a remarkable inner life for himself with the books he rescues from his compacting press. But really, it's a book about the power of art to give coherence to the senselessness we live through. Every once in a very rare while, you stumble upon a book that reads like a transcription from your own heart. This strange little marvel, written four decades ago on the other side of the planet, is the transcription of mine."
A Marker to Measure Drift
By Alexander Maksik
"I read an early version of this novel (Maksik is a friend from grad school) and it remains one of my favorite books from 2013. In hypnotic prose reminiscent of James Salter, it follows Jacqueline, a Liberian refugee, through the day-to-day struggle of survival on a Greek island. By conferring through compassion the dignity of Jacqueline's full existence, the novel accomplishes what is, to my mind, an essential role of literature, and its ethical urgency imbues it with a timeless quality."
A Small Corner of Hell
By Keith Politkovskaya
"This book, based on Politkovskaya's on-the-ground reporting, will likely remain the most important book written about the devastating war that consumed Chechnya in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Through a series of vignettes that are often as surreal as they are horrifying, Politkovskaya gives voice to ordinary civilians whose tragedies, sacrifices, and triumphs are too intimate to ever make headline news. Rarely has language been shaped with such moral courage."

bookshelves: literature-for-youth-graduate-class
Read in January, 2008
This is an adventure/fantasy/mystery novel that incorporates Greek Mythology in a modern day setting. It very much reminds me of Harry Potter, and in some ways I liked it better than Harry. If you know any of the Greek myths, you already have the background information J.K. Rowling spent 100s of pages explaining. This book was surprising, funny, suspenseful and fun. I recommend it to anyone, young or old.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
PM accuses Hamas of using human shields, urges world leaders to side with Israel
OTTAWA - Terrorists are deliberately placing people in the path of an Israeli offensive aimed at stopping rocket attacks from Gaza, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Harper says there is evidence that Hamas, listed by Canada as a terrorist organization, is using human shields in its attempts to stave off the Israeli offensive.

"The indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel are terrorist acts, for which there is no justification," Harper said in a statement issued Sunday.
"It is evident that Hamas is deliberately using human shields to further terror in the region."
Harper also called on other world leaders to rally behind Israel as it tries to prevent rockets being fired from Gaza into its territory.
Silence, he suggested, would only embolden Israel's attackers.
"Failure by the international community to condemn these reprehensible actions would encourage these terrorists to continue their appalling actions," Harper said.
"Canada calls on its allies and partners to recognize that these terrorist acts are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict."
Harper's statements came as Israel briefly deployed ground troops inside the Gaza Strip.
Israel had earlier warned northern Gaza residents to evacuate their homes as the six-day offensive that has killed more than 160 Palestinians was widened.
The United Nations Security Council and others have called for a ceasefire but the attacks have only escalated as Israel masses tanks and soldiers at Gaza's borders.
Israel widened its range of Gaza bombing targets Saturday to include civilian institutions with suspected Hamas ties. One strike hit a centre for the disabled, killing two patients and wounding four people. In a second attack, an Israeli warplane flattened the home of Gaza police chief Taysir al-Batsh and damaged a nearby mosque as evening prayers ended, killing at least 18 people. Fifty were wounded, including al-Batsh himself.
Harper urged the Palestinian government to disarm Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups operating in Gaza.
But despite forming a government with Hamas' backing last month, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' influence in Gaza is minimal.
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, Abbas called on U.N. Secretary-General Bank Ki-moon to provide "international protection" for the Palestinian people.
"The situation has become unbearable _ hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded and huge destruction,'' Abbas said.
Early Sunday, Israeli troops launched a brief raid into northern Gaza to destroy what the military described as a rocket-launching site.
The military said the incursion left four soldiers slightly wounded.
Northern Gaza is home to at least 100,000 people.

Hello my fellow wolves fans! Last night the Timberwolves were given the 13th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, continuing their long history of staying right where they are projected to be. This is quite a deep class this year and it has me a lot more excited than I was last year knowing that we will grab an impact player with our 13th pick. There are a lot of options and to be honest it's really hard to say what Flip ends up doing.
Two words I'm sick of hearing: Kevin Love -- wolves fans who don't think Love will be traded or at the least just become a free agent after the season are wrong and I'm sorry you feel that way. It's time to get over it and start being realistic. Love is such a valuable player in this league and basically every team wants him. The Timberwolves would be dumb not to trade him either before or on draft night. And why is that? Because they will get the best offers for him at that time, whether it's first round picks in a deep draft class or a combination of picks and other key players.
So if love is gonna be traded and the wolves are picking based off filling up the huge hole we would have at PF (no Love and Cunningham is an UFA). I think their best option would be to go with Adrien Payne. This guy is pretty polished and developed into quite the two-way player over his last season at Michigan State. He could be considered a stretch 4 just like Love but he's definitely not the same kind of player. He is much more athletic, and at 6"10 with a 7"0 wingspan he is extremely aggressive and always finishes hard and above the rim. Very physical backing down defenders and either facing up and shooting a jumper or going hard to the hoop. He also can shoot and pretty we'll also. Whether it's pick and pop 3 pointers or trailing the play 3s, Payne has the range to make lazy defenders pay for not getting out to him. A very good shot blocker and intimidates opposing players in front of the basket. My favorite thing about him is that he fights every single play. Whether it's for an offensive rebound or just chasing a ball that's going out of bounds. He brings so much energy every night and it's contagious with the fans and the rest of the team. He has passion and doesn't take plays off. Also off the court he is a tremendous and very classy person. I won't get into it but he had a very close relationship with an extremely sick 7 year old girl named Lacey who had eventually passed away towards the end of his season.
Payne is the best option for this team of love is traded and even if he isn't traded, Payne remains the best option instantly becoming a rotation guy as the backup PF then maybe being the starter after Love is a free agent at the season's end.
I hope you all enjoyed the post and please leave comments! I'd "Love" to hear your feedback!
