Rewind: Live chat with former Sounders FC forward Roger Levesque
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Sounders trade defender Eriq Zavaleta to Toronto NEW - 1/26, 11:56 AM
Before retiring in July of last season, Roger Levesque had become one of the most beloved Sounders in franchise history.
He arrived in Seattle in 2003 on loan to the then-minor league Sounders from the MLS San Jose Earthquakes, and thought he'd be with the team for the rest of that season. He stayed for the remainder of his career.
The longtime fan favorite endeared himself to Sounders fans with his hustle, creative goal celebrations and match-winning performances, including the 2009 U.S. Open Cup championship.
Levesque will be available to answer questions about the Sounders-Timbers I-5 rivalry, his playing days in Seattle and more in a live chat March 15 on seattletimes.com.

This amp is great puts out a ton of power. I have this amp pushing 8 crescendo mp-6's at 4 ohm per channel and it sounds wonderful. I know the opti line is lanzars best line and i am planning on running another 2 channel and subwoofer amp after ive herd this one. It does get warm but fans can help with that. So far i have seen nothing but good with this amp. If you are looking for a ton of power for a small price the opti700x2 is the way to go

Rachel Zoe Fall 2013
Who loves the '70s? For her Fall 2013 collection, Rachel Zoe stuck to her glamorous aesthetic, showing clothing in mostly neutral hues like caramel brown, cream, navy, gray, and black. The garments themselves ran the gamut from cozy (the show opened with an oversize cardigan over a leather shirt and cropped jodhpurs) to sexy (a short black dress with notch lapels halfway through the show). And speaking of leather, there was plenty of that — in the form of a hunter green t-shirt or on the sleeves of a cropped canvas trench, it looked especially chic.

Kimora Lee Simmons' Fave Looks From 2011
I remember being irrationally excited about pairing the blush on this dress with my metallic heel. Not sure why, but I was over the moon. I'd always loved the dreamy quality of this goddess mini. The color and shape all but force you to go easy with the rest of your look: lighter, more natural makeup with very little jewelry.

Although she often was exhausted after coming home from her hectic nursing job in a coronary intensive-care unit, Krysia Maciuszko always found time to practice yoga. She would take solace in the rejuvenating poses, energizing stretches, and refreshing breathing exercises. Driven by her longtime dream to show others just how much yoga can restore a weary body and to finally be free to laugh at the word ?angina? without being judged, Krysia eventually turned in her nurse's cap and opened up Krysia Energy Yoga.
Energizing music echoes across the hardwood floors of her 1,000-square-foot studio, where Krysia and her staff of certified instructors lead students through the movements of a variety of styles?from challenging Power Yoga to playful Ashtanga. Other days, they lead upbeat Zumba workouts that utilize Latin-inspired dance movements to blast calories. The yoga instructors not only teach regular students, but also aspiring yoga instructors during a comprehensive 12-week yoga teacher-training program.
Founded on the belief that yoga's transformative benefits should be shared with anyone interested—regardless of age, gender, or religion—Puma Yoga welcomes students of all experience levels to its non-competitive studio. Calming music reverberates through the intimate studio as students work on everything from relaxing flow to the more intense power yoga classes lead by knowledgeable and welcoming instructors. Private yoga sessions and workshops help developing yogis deepen their understanding of the practice and discover that triangle pose has nothing to do with their high-school band experience. Puma Yoga also offers workshops on topics such as nutrition and holistic health, and also offers a 10-week yoga teacher-training program for aspiring instructors.
History pulses through Lemko Hall, a turreted brick building in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. Over the past century, it has served as a saloon, a ballroom, and a movie set where stars Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken filmed a scene for The Deer Hunter in 1978. Nowadays, one of the space's tenants, Studio 11, channels an even older legacy: the yoga tradition of ancient India.
The studio's seasoned teachers impart moving meditations that have been passed down from generation to generation via careful instruction and epic games of telephone. Classical Hatha poses help yogis of all levels cultivate strength and flexibility as they learn to center their minds and control their breath. Students steep their minds in yoga's meditative qualities during flowing, breath-focused Vinyasa routines or explore the practice's athletic side during Ashtanga sessions teeming with dynamic poses and vigorous thumb-wrestling bouts. Those seeking a more private yoga experience can engage in a Thai massage, in which a trained practitioner guides the body through assisted poses and stretches.
Yoga-inspired Pilates sessions revolve around centuries-old isometrics that promote balance and help chisel the core. Students seeking a full immersion in yogic history can enroll in studio-sponsored trips to India, which pair yoga classes with sunset meditations and spiritual discourses.
Atma Center's classes reflect the techniques of Satyananda yoga, a combination of classic yoga traditions adroitly adapted to accommodate the needs of modern and futuristic persons, no matter their age or fitness level. It is also a teacher-training program, so you can be sure Atma's highly trained instructors have accumulated many a hour of individualized in-class wisdom and successfully squeezed through the awfully tight yoga-instructor rites of passage (pass-throughable by only the nimblest and most compassionate of bodies).
As one of Cleveland's first Vinyasa yoga studios, Evolution Yoga Studios & Boutique promotes a personal yoga experience in an eco-conscious studio setting. Founder and director Sandy Gross embraces mindfulness and meditation in each of the studio's array of sinew-stretching classes. Beginners nurture alignment during introductory technique and practice sessions, advancing to heated Vinyasa classes that expel sweat. Bodies build pristine core muscles during 50-minute Pilates sessions, and restorative yoga focuses on the breath in tandem with subtle bends and twists. The studio's schedule hosts multiple sessions daily for all skill levels.


text: So, I'm reading this NROLW book, and am semi-devastated that he seems to be saying running (the steady state type, which I just got into and love) is like the evil arch-enemy of WL (which I really want to do). Am I reading that wrong? Do I have to choose one or the other? I'm just talking about 3ish miles of jogging, 3 days a week. I'll choose if I have to, but I was hoping they'd work together, because I really like them both. :?:

She firmly etched Odisha on the map of national women's cricket. Madhuri Mehta from Balangir town is part of the 15-member team of the national women's cricket that will go to West Indies for playing twenty-20. The 20-year-old shares her stupendous journey with TOI.
Q-How did you feel upon being included in the national team to play twenty-20 against West Indies?
A-I was pretty sure that I would be selected. After I came to know about my selection, I thanked God that I could live up to the expectations of my father and my coach, who had put in great effort. I was doubly happy because I know once I, a girl from backward Balangir, was included in the national team, I will be a source of inspiration for many other potential women players.
Q-You were up against another candidate Rosanara Parvin in the selection process.
A-Yes, Rosanara is a great spinner. She also has the potential to be one among the national team. I was selected because I am a batswoman, who plays the pacers comfortably apart from being a bowler. I think Balangir players will continue to be included in the national team after my entry.
Q-You are an athlete-turned-cricketer, right?
A-I was into athletics after Class V. Then cricket was not popular in Odisha, especially in Balangir one cannot think of a woman playing cricket. My attraction to cricket was, however, obvious. My father being a cricketer, I was quite familiar with bats and balls.
Q-When was your first tryst with cricket?
A-After my Class X examination, I started going to the field with my father regularly. In fact my father was taking my brother to the field for practice. I was not on his radar then. I was just an observer and used to fetch the ball for my brother after he would pull a big shot, and I was doing that devoutly. Seeing my dedication, my father started paying attention to my cricket potential too.
Q-When did you actually discover that you could become a professional player?
A-I became serious after 2008. Before that I had attended the state level under-19 women's cricket camps in 2007. I had tested myself. But interestingly till then my practice had not become institutionalized. Women's cricket in Balangir evolved in the last part of 2008 and I got a dedicated coach Arun Nayak, whose contribution I can never forget. I learnt the intricacies of the game from him. Besides, I knew how to stay fit for the game.
Q-Being a girl, did you ever feel it was taboo for you to be a cricketer?
A-No, never. And I always had full support of my family. In fact, in the academy we learnt that it was women who first started playing cricket. I think a player is a player.
Q-Do you think in terms of stamina and the quality of shots, women can match men?
A-Naturally there will be a difference but I don't agree that there will any difference in the quality. Men definitely will have more power while playing. We are also using the same bat and ball and playing quality shots. Rather I would say, the shots women play look more beautiful and disciplined than those of men.
Q-What was your routine at the National Cricket Academy and the subsequent camps after your selection as a probable in the national team.
A-The schedule used to be hectic. However, we were not forced to play. Physical fitness is a great thing I learnt at the academy. There were theory classes as well and we were, recently after my selection, taught about dope test. Our session used to start at 9 am after a light and hygienic breakfast. It used to finish at noon after which we would go for lunch. In the second session, we would again practice from 4 to 6 pm.
Q-What kind of shots were you admired for by your national and home coaches?
A-My strong points are cover and step out drive. I get power in these shots. I was told to practice these shots because I was infallible in them.
Q-You are also an aggressive and agile fielder.
A-From the beginning I have been fielding at the point. I enjoy being a fielder there. And my coach also found that I would be best suited in that place. Since I am a batswoman, I know what direction the ball will follow after different types of shots, which makes it easy for me to make the ball come to me.
Q-You have been in the opening pair right from the beginning. You played in the Odisha team as an opener too. What position do you expect to get in the national team?
A-Most probably I will be in the opening pair. There are indications that I will be at the non-striker end in the opening. But it is up to my national team captain Anjum Chopra to decide which position will be best for me.
Q-What is your next goal after the West Indies tour?
A-The West Indies tour is an opportunity for me. I can test my potential against a national team. After this I am eyeing the forthcoming women's world cup. You can say this match will be a preparation for me for the world cup. I definitely aspire to be in the playing-11 in the world cup.

HA HA, WTF??? Where'd you get that Cane?
Done and done
Gents: Went looking for info yesterday on a Spanish made revolver and did not include pictures. ( imagine that) three are attached. any info you can provide is good. thanks hth3
Cane, I figured out the picture thing and have attached three. NOt sure i posted them to the right spot because they are showing at the bottom of your reply to my original post. take a look. hth3
It looks a lot like a Spanish Copy of a S&W Hand Ejector D.A. Revolver, but I'm just comparing it to pictures, there are a lot of S&W style Spanish variations. Yours looks to be in really good shape though.
A note of caution- the .38 Long was similar to the .38 Special in dimensions, but was a black powder very low power round- and true .38 Special ( most especially HOT .38 Specials) should not be fed to it, lest it develop a severe case of heartburn. The LARGE number of Spanish imitators is the reason for the "Marcas Registrados" markings on old S&Ws. To let folks know it was the real thing, and not a copy.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I have the same one same make.they were made by a better manufacturer than others.while the 38 long was a black powder round by the time of those revolverss smokless wass common the gun was made in the WW1 to WW2 era.I shoot 38 specials in mine and I was amazed at how good it shot.use standard load or target loads.I reload all my ammo. never the less the gun is old so dont abuse it.

palm, a city built by Solomon "in the wilderness" ( 2 Chronicles 8:4 ). In 1 Kings 9:18 , where the word occurs in the Authorized Version, the Hebrew text and the Revised Version read "Tamar," which is properly a city on the southern border of Palestine and toward the wilderness (Compare Ezekiel 47:19 ; 48:28 ). In 2 Chronicles 8:14 Tadmor is mentioned in connection with Hamath-zobah. It is called Palmyra by the Greeks and Romans. It stood in the great Syrian wilderness, 176 miles from Damascus and 130 from the Mediterranean and was the centre of a vast commercial traffic with Western Asia. It was also an important military station. (See SOLOMON .) "Remains of ancient temples and palaces, surrounded by splendid colonnades of white marble, many of which are yet standing, and thousands of prostrate pillars, scattered over a large extent of space, attest the ancient magnificence of this city of palms, surpassing that of the renowned cities of Greece and Rome."
the palm-tree; bitterness
(city of palms ), called "Tadmor in the wilderness," is the same as the city known to the Greeks and Romans under the name of Palmyra. It lay between the Euphrates and Hamath, to the southeast of that city, in a fertile tract or oasis of the desert. Being situated at a convenient distance from both the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf, it had great advantages for caravan traffic. It was built by Solomon after his conquest of Hamath-zobah. ( 1 Kings 9:18 ; 2 Chronicles 8:4 ) As the city is-nowhere else mentioned in the Bible, it would be out of place to enter into a detailed history of it. In the second century A.D. it seems to have been beautified by the emperor Hadrian. In the beginning of the third century --211-217 A.D.-- it became a Roman colony under Caracalla. Subsequently, in the reign of Gallienus, the Roman senate invested Odenathus, a senator of Palmyra, with the regal dignity, on account of his services in defeating Sapor, king of Persia. On the assassination of Odenathus, his wife, Zenobia, seems to have conceived the design of erecting Palmyra into an independent monarchy; and in prosecution of this object, she for a while successfully resisted the Roman arms. She was at length defeated and taken captive by the emperor Aurelian, A.D. 273, who left a Roman garrison in Palmyra. This garrison was massacred in a revolt; and Aurelian punished the city by the execution not only of those who were taken in arms, but likewise of common peasants, of old men, women and children. From this blow Palmyra never recovered, though there are proofs of its having continued to be inhabited until the downfall of the Roman empire. The grandeur and magnificence of the ruins of Palmyra cannot be exceeded, and attest its former greatness. Among the most remarkable are the Tombs, the Temple of the Sun and the Street of Columns.
tad'-mor, tad'-mor (tadhmor):
A city built by Solomon in the wilderness (2 Chronicles 8:4), the Roman Palmyra. Tadmor is the native name and is found on inscriptions. It occurs also in the Kere of 1 Kings 9:18, where the Kethibh or consonants read "Tamar" (compare Ezekiel 47:19; 48:28). It is famous in Arabian as well as in Hebrew literature, and enters Roman history in connection with Zenobia and Longinus. The inscriptions, which belong for the most part to the latter period (266-73 AD), have been published by Dawkins and Wood and also by M. Waddington and the Duc de Luynes. Popular works on the subject are An Account of Palmyra and Zenobia by W. Wright, and The Last Days and Fall of Palmyra by W. Ware.

Ichiro Suzuki Joins Two Other Baseball Greats With 4,000th Hit
Ichiro Suzuki got his 4000th hit on Wednesday, joining Ty Cobb and Pete Rose as the only baseball players to reach that milestone.
Copyright © 2013 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
Last night, baseball fans celebrated a milestone for one of the game's best hitters. Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki had his 4,000th career hit in New York's 4-2 win over Toronto. Suzuki joins Pete Rose and Ty Cobb as the only major leaguers to reach the 4,000 hit mark.
But NPR's Tom Goldman reports he won't be listed as such in the record book.
TOM GOLDMAN, BYLINE: That's because Major League Baseball doesn't recognize all 4,000 of Ichiro Suzuki's hits - 1,278 of them came during his first nine seasons as a pro ballplayer in the Japanese Pacific League. But last night's 2,722nd major league hit still stirred players and fans alike.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: Ichiro, Ichiro, Ichiro.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Line drive, base hit, there it is, 4,000 hits.
GOLDMAN: And it was like so many others, an opposite field single, as heard on the YES Network. It was off Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, a fitting match really. A quirky pitch hit by a quirky player. An ESPN profile of the man known around baseball simply as Ichiro detailed how he sewed his gloves by hand, stored his bats in a hardcover case with a chemical rod to control the humidity and how he answered questions through an interpreter with his back turned to reporters.
But last night, Suzuki faced his inquisitor on the field at Yankee Stadium and talked through his interpreter in emotional terms about how his teammates left the dugout to hug him after the big hit.
ICHIRO SUZUKI: (Through Translator) You know, I wasn't expecting that. I didn't think everybody would come out. You know, I really got choked up.
GOLDMAN: Suzuki certainly has the resume to counter some pre-milestone grumbling that his 4,000 hits don't resonate like Pete Rose and Ty Cobb's did: All-Star appearances, Gold Glove Awards in Japan and the majors and, of course, the batting titles and hit records, all with his unique, slap-at-the-ball style.
Jay Jaffe writes the Strike Zone blog for Sports Illustrated.
JAY JAFFE: It's not quite accurate to say that he dominated because, you know, his singles didn't quite add up to the same kind of value as the sluggers of the era, but in his own way, he was certainly the best of a certain type of hitting and showed that a Japanese position player could succeed here in the majors, and that's been quite unique.
GOLDMAN: Which is not lost on other Japanese players. After last night's hit, Suzuki bowed to the fans, his teammates and to Toronto second baseman Munenori Kawasaki, whom Jaffe says obviously looks up to Ichiro Suzuki.
Tom Goldman, NPR News.
BEN GIBBARD: (Singing) Go, go, go, go, Ichiro. Rounding third and heading for home.

Green innovations from the Pacific Rim
From fully recyclable architectural resin panels to self-cleaning glass, Blaine Brownell has pretty much seen it all when it comes to sustainable building materials. For the past eight years, the architect and blogger has written about hundreds of cutting-edge green materials on his blog, Transmaterial.net, and cataloged in two books: Transmaterial (2006) and the newly released Transmaterial 2 (2008), both from Princeton Architectural Press.
Searching for inspiration and the next wave of truly sustainable building materials, Brownell in 2006 boldly picked up and moved his family to Japan for an 11-month research project. During his stay, Brownell conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of architects, engineers, artists, scientists, and material innovators across the country, from Tadao Ando to Toyo Ito to Yasuhiro Yamashita.
"I really wanted to push the boundaries of my thinking on sustainable materials and the cultural effects of new materials in sustainable design," Brownell told me during a phone interview shortly after returning to the U.S. Japan is a hotbed for green material innovation and sustainable design techniques, due mainly to the country's limited local resources and minimal land mass.
"I saw all kinds of fun, exciting glimpses into the future," said Brownell, pointing out innovations like mirror-duct systems that can drive daylight as deep as 60 feet into buildings, new spherical-shaped solar cells that absorb sunlight at any angle, and super-bioplastics that have shape-memory properties and are fully recyclable.
One of his favorite products: Reben, a paint developed by Suzuran Corp. that is made entirely of natural materials—namely powdered washi paper, seaweed glue, scallop-shell powder, and natural pigments.
"It's inflammable, resists bacteria and mold growth, and it regulates humidity in a room, so it can soak up the humidity in the summer and release it during the winter," said Brownell. The paint is also loaded with titanium dioxide to help fight odors and smog. "It's so safe you can even eat it, at least according to the manufacturer," he added.
Brownell is compiling his interviews and case studies into a book, Matter in the Floating World, to be published by Princeton Architectural Press.

Many had hoped that the start of quarterly auctions under California's new cap-and-trade program would usher in an era of rapid growth for the cleantech sector.
But a pair of lawsuits filed by business groups challenging the program's validity has cast a cloud of uncertainty over the program, says Morrison & Foerster partner William Sloan. The first two auctions—held in November and February—were important milestones for cleantech, Sloan says, because now there is a clear market price on carbon emissions. That gives entrepreneurs a more direct way to place a monetary value on their innovations for potential customers and investors.
A court decision in favor of the program could provide a real cleantech boost. Also on the sector's wish list: an expansion by state regulators of the types of carbon-reducing projects–also known as offset projects–that carbon emitters can invest in to help fulfill their compliance obligations.

Review: Apple Mac Pro
- Monday January 6, 2014
If you require ridiculous amounts of processing power and like the look of shiny, futuristic waste bins, the new Mac Pro is for you.
If you require ridiculous amounts of processing power and like the look of shiny, futuristic waste bins, the new Mac Pro is for you.
Apple's highly-anticipated (and most powerful) desktop machine, the Mac Pro, is scheduled to go on sale tomorrow.
Today's Apple event delivered a lot of things we expected. We're still waiting on those 4K Thunderbolt displays, though.
Here's a summary of everything Apple announced at today's San Francisco event.
The new redesigned Mac Pro sports an anodized-aluminum chassis and will be available in December, according to Apple. Prices will start at $3,000 for the lowest-end configuration.
Apple teased a revamp of its desktop Mac Pro at WWDC today. According to Phil Schiller it's for users who want only the "fastest, most expensive Mac in existence." It also sports a striking new cylindrical design and a remarkable power boost, and yet is just one-eighth the size of the current Mac Pro. The […]
Apple's Mac Pros are pricey desktops designed for prosumer applications, so it's not often you see them in a person's home. But the speedy new iMac could render Mac Pros irrelevant even in offices if Apple doesn't upgrade its high-end desktop soon. Benchmark testing by Macworld found that the top-of-the-line iMac, which features a 2.8-GHz […]
Rumor has it that Apple's next-generation Mac Pro will feature Intel's elite desktop chip codenamed Gulftown, according to a blog. Recently demonstrated by Intel, Gulftown is a six-core, dual-socket processor with 12 threads. (In normal human speak, it's essentially a processor with six brains, capable of efficiently distributing power to execute 12 concurrent tasks.) Apple […]

From Green Right Now Reports
Higher than normal ocean temperatures are wreaking havoc on coral reefs in southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, turning previously color-splashed areas into white wastelands due to a phenomenon known as "coral bleaching."
"The bleaching is very strong throughout southeast Asia and the central Indian Ocean," Dr. Mark Eakin, coordinator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Watch, said. "The reports are that it is the worst since 1997/1998. This is a really huge event and we are going to see a lot of corals dying."
Bleaching occurs when the algae that give the coral its color and food is lost. Divers and scientists have described huge areas of previously pristine reef turned into barren white undersea landscapes off the coast of Thailand and Indonesia. Reefs in the Caribbean could also be under threat.
The 1998 event saw an estimated 16 per cent of the world's reefs destroyed. Bleaching also can rob fish and other species of important shelter and food sources.
Although reefs can recover from bleaching, it leaves the coral vulnerable to damage from storms, infections and other environmental stress, increasing the risk of deaths. With ocean temperatures reaching record levels and combined with the end of an El Nino episode, scientists fear there could be even more damage to corals as the year continues.

Bashiok comments on Fire Festival; new Hallow's End surprises
The Midsummer Fire Festival remained largely the same due to the amount of work that had to go into rearranging fire locations due to the cataclysm, changing around all of the decorations, and generally spending a lot of time switching over from the old world. Bashiok does cop to the fact that the event is more or less the same as last year's, but reminds us that the Midsummer Fire Festival has already had its major overhaul back a few years ago.
The more interesting news, however, is that Bashiok says we've got some surprises coming our way with respect to Hallow's End, WoW's take on Halloween. We've been long speculating, based on data-mined items and story cues, that Hallow's End will deal with the continuing story of Sylvanas' march into the kingdom of Gilneas and the worgen's fight to take back their homeland. Plus, who doesn't love the classic Halloween monster movie tropes of zombies and werewolves?
Bashiok confirmed that there are changes in store for Hallow's End. To what extent, we do not know. However, I will be looking forward to surprises because, really, I love surprises. I'm a giant sucker for surprises. Bring on the surprises!
Since Cataclysm changed pretty much all of the locations for towns, buildings, geography, etc. in Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, that required re-placing, by hand, every banner, every fire, every decoration on every building, every quest giver, everything.
So yes it's essentially the same event with updated loot drops this year, but it was no small amount of work just to keep it the same event.
As I said we update holiday events when we can, it's not a guarantee. BUT, Hallow's End will have a few new surprises in-store.
The news is already rolling out for the upcoming WoW Patch 4.2! Preview the new Firelands raid, marvel at the new legendary staff, and get the inside scoop on new quest hubs -- plus new Tier 12 armor!

'Hannibal' season 3 trailer is quite the Apéritif
Will Graham lives! As for the rest of Hannibal's victims involved in last season finale's bloodbath, we still don't know for sure. Here's a sublime trailer for the upcoming third season of Bryan Fuller's dark masterpiece of a series that is Hannibal. In it, Graham (the magnificent Hugh Dancy) is plotting his revenge on the good doctor Lector (the equally magnificent Mads Mikkelsen) whose has seemingly escaped to Florence, Italy with new series regular Gillian Anderson. Also featured is Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine); she's a new character and from the looks of it she's ready and willing to help Graham capture his nemesis. At the end of the trailer, oddly enough, Will speaks to Hannibal, "I forgive you." Is he playing mind games again, or is this the continuation of a never-ending twisted relationship?
The hunt begins this summer when Hannibal returns to NBC.
*If you're paying close attention, as you should be, you'll recognized the word "Apéritif." It was the title of the series' pilot episode and it translates to "a small drink of alcoholic liquor taken to stimulate the appetite before a meal." In case you haven't picked up on it by now, each season Fuller chooses episode names based on international fine cuisine. Season 1 was French, season 2 was Japanese, and season 3 is all about Italian foodstuffs. The premiere is titled, "Antipasto."
TV reminder: 10 premieres to look out for in January
New year, new TV. It's time for the latest installment of what to watch this month! There are a total of 10 new and returning shows to look out for in January so let's get right to it, after the break. (Click here for more…)
Leslie Jones joins the cast of 'SNL'
Here we go. Some great news for longtime fans of Saturday Night Live who might have lost faith in the late night variety show's funny bone. SNL writer and featured guest Leslie Jones has officially joined the cast as a featured player four episodes into season 40. Audiences were first introduced to Jones' off-kilter comedy last season when she invaded Weekend Update as an "Image Expert" and talked about black beauty; the controversial discussion projected her unique and brash delivery. SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels must have noticed the effect she had on viewers; she as brought back to the desk again this month to talk about relationships, once again proving her comedy chops. And now, she's getting upgraded from writer/guest to full on featured player. Welcome to the cast, Leslie Jones!
She will make her official debut this coming Saturday, Oct. 25 with host Jim Carrey and musical guest Iggy Azalea. Let's hope she's the spark SNL has been craving ever since Wiig/Hader/Armisen/Samberg era ended.
PSA: Fall TV schedules inside
We've made it to the most exciting time of year! Well, it is for me at least. New TV series premiere and favorite ones return in late September, so it's time to take a look at each of the network's fall schedules and decide which shows you'll be tuning into this season. This season I've decided to consolidate it all in one post, so without further adieu, jump after the break to view the fall schedules for the Big Four networks (namely, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS) plus The CW.

Gillian Anderson locked in as series regular for 'Hannibal' season 3
Cast additions and statuses typically don't make waves here at [e-i-a]. But this is one that cannot fly under the radar. Gillian Anderson, who plays Hannibal Lector's shrink Bedelia du Maurier, has been upgraded from guest star to SERIES REGULAR for the upcoming third season of NBC's serial killer thriller Hannibal. This is the most delectable kind of news for Fannibals because Anderson brings a remarkable sense of elegance and subtle jest to an already stellar cast led by Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen.
At the very, very end of season 2, a bonus post-credits scene revealed Anderson's Bedelia flying away with the murderous Dr. Lector. Is she in cahoots with the mad man, or is something even sinister happening here? Whatever the case may be, viewers can rest assured that Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller has free reign to tell her story and explore her intentions at length now that Gillian is properly on board for the season.
It's been spilled that Hannibal and Bedelia are off to Europe and that the season 3 premiere episode will essentially act like "a pilot for a new series starring Mads Mikkelsen and Gillian Anderson." Does that amazing, or does that sound amazing.
TVLine broke the news and Fuller shared the following statement: "The cast and crew of Hannibal are positively giddy to be welcoming Gillian to Season 3 as a series regular. A striking presence on stage and screen, she brings wit, grace and intelligence to every role she embodies. Screenwriting is so much easier when you're inspired by a great actor and Gillian has filled the Hannibal writers room with wonderful inspiration. I can't wait for audiences to see her make a bigger meal out of the Cannibal than ever before."
The X-Files actress has been enjoying quite the career resurgence as of late. Disregarding her failed NBC series Crisis, Anderson has been wowing audiences during her guest stint on Hannibal and she also currently stars in the fantastic BBC Two/Netflix crime drama The Fall. If you haven't had the pleasure of getting sucked into that Irish/British series I highly recommend you watch binge it today.
Hannibal returns in midseason to NBC.
'SNL' adds comedian Michael Che to co-anchor Weekend Update [Update: New featured player added]
The Weekend Update desk at Saturday Night Live is undergoing changes, again. For SNL's upcoming 40th season, Colin Jost will serve as co-anchor with former SNL writer and Daily Show correspondent Michael Che. This marks the first time two men will co-anchor the desk, and Che is the first African American to do so. Outgoing co-anchor Cecily Strong, who worked on the desk with Seth Meyers and then Jost, will remain as a full-time cast member.
"Michael is a strong writer, and he's really funny," SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels tells The New York Times. "It struggled to find an identity last season," he admits. "Because what had come before had been pretty brilliant."
Keeping Jost and replacing Strong with Che is a move Michaels was confident in making. "This is about a new era, what feels appropriate for now," he says. "That's why we did a lot of combinations and tests, and this is kind of where we came out."
Strong started off a bit shaky but over time she acclimated to the desk. However, she ultimately expressed her desire to pop up in more sketches and this aligned perfectly with Michaels' vision to add Che as new Weekend Update co-anchor.
And the changes don't stop here. According to the NYT, Michaels will "probably be making one or two more additions to the cast this season." So stayed tuned. Previously Michaels booted Brooks Wheelan, John Milhiser, and Nöel Wells; Nasim Pedrad departed the show to star in NBC sitcom Mulaney. Michael Patrick O'Brien has returned to the writer's room.
SNL premieres September 27 with host Chris Pratt and musical guest Ariana Grande.
Update (9/15): Deadline reports SNL is adding one and only one new featured player to its cast roster for season 40. It's 20-year-old New York comedian Pete Davidson who was handpicked by Lorne. Davidson performed standup this past April on Jimmy Kimmel Live; get aquainted with his style of humor in this clip.

The upcoming seventh season of NBC's Parks And Recreation will be the series' last, so you need to get all your laughs in now before the curtain closes. Enter the season 6 gag reel brimming with so much funny you might need to take an intermission or two. My favorite part?

NBC makes official three more series renewals
Here's a quickie: On March 19, NBC renewed Chicago Fire, its spinoff Chicago PD, and supernatural genre series Grimm. Joining these three series next season are the previously renewed The Blacklist, Parks and Recreation, The Voice, and Celebrity Apprentice.
'Parks and Rec' clip: Watch Ben Wyatt's extended freak out over getting an Iron Throne replica
In a recent episode of Parks And Recreation titled "Anniversaries," Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) gifted her geeky husband Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) with a full-scale replica of the Iron Throne as made famous by George R.R. Martin in his A Song of Ice and Fire books and HBO's adaptation Game of Thrones. Ben's reaction to receiving said gift, to say the least, was extraordinarily hilarious.
Well, Parks & Rec fans, I present this gift to you: NBC has posted the extended take of the aforementioned scene and you can watch it in full above. If you didn't think that tag could be any more perfect, guess again.

NBC revives 'Heroes' with new arc & characters in 'Heroes: Reborn'
Save the cheerleader, save the world. But it didn't stop there…
Like FOX is doing with 24, NBC is bringing back one its most popular and lucrative series back to the air with Heroes: Reborn. And just like 24: Live Another Day, Heroes: Reborn is being labeled as an "event series" that will produce 13 episodes for a shorter-than-normal broadcast season. Mostly everything is being kept under wraps for now; all we know is that the new season of Heroes will be shepherded by series creator and executive producer Tim Kring and it will tell a brand-new standalone story-arc with new characters. NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke shares that existing characters introduced during the show's original four season run may show up in the revival; her statement in full:
"The enormous impact Heroes had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening. Shows with that kind of resonance don't come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. We're thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept. Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won't rule out the possibility of some of the show's original cast members popping back in."
Heroes, an imaginative series about ordinary people who discover they have superhuman abilities, premiered to much fan-fare in 2006. Viewership was high and so was critical acclaim. Watching ordinary people like Peter Petrelli, Mohinder Suresh, Hiro Nakamura, Niki Sanders, and Claire Bennet discover their respective abilities and eventually all coming together to work towards a common goal of destroying the compelling villain Sylar was more than entertaining to watch. While many shows suffer from growing pains in their first seasons on air, Heroes managed to shine creatively from the get-go; in my opinion Heroes season 1 is one of the best premiere seasons of any show out there. Unfortunately, things went quickly downhill from there; though season 2 is manageable the plot and the characters get seriously bogged down in season 3 and if I'm being honest I've never even felt compelled to watch the fourth and (then) final season. Without getting into the nitty gritty details of it all the show simply lost itself creatively and the Heroes introduced in season 1 started to feel tired and without the same purpose they shared across the brilliant first 23 episodes. The original idea behind Heroes was to intro a new crop of characters to follow each season, but following Sylar's quick getaway at the end of season 1 it was decided that our Heroes were here to stay. Though fans of the series may be divided on the return of the show, perhaps we can all have some faith that a new series reborn featuring all-new Heroes might finally inject some excitement and fresh storylines into a show that once carried incredible potential.
NBC aired a brief 21-second promo announcing Heroes Reborn during the Olympics on Saturday and you can watch it after the break. It teases a 2015 launch, and fans can also look forward to a digital web series that plans to introduce the new characters before the show premieres in earnest. (Click here for more…)
J.J. Abrams & Alfonso Cuarón introduce NBC supernatural drama 'Believe'
Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, see the future… since she was born, Bo (Johnny Sequoyah) has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control. But now that she is 10 years old, her powers have become stronger and the threat from malevolent forces that would use her abilities to control the world has grown more dangerous. With her life and future in jeopardy, Bo's protector, Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo, The Chicago Code), turns to an unlikely source to keep her safe – Tate (Jake McLaughlin, Crash), a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who's lost his will.
Tate and Bo begin an extraordinary journey, one in which trust must be earned. On the run and traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they'll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo's power… because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever.
That's how NBC sets up Believe, the latest series from J.J. Abrams–the creative mind behind Lost, Fringe, and Person of Interest. Joining Abrams behind the scenes is Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón who serves as executive producer and director of the pilot episode.
Get acquainted with the cast and auspicious behind Believe in the clip embedded above. The exciting opening sequence brilliantly executed by Cuarón is on display and you'll hear from him, Abrams, and some of the stars. "It, to me, was one of those great opening scenes that, when Alfonso described it, I had that sense of, 'Wait a minute, I'm not changing the channel until I know exactly what's going on," gushes Abrams.
Believe premieres March 10. Watch a sneak-peek trailer after the break. (Click here for more…)

'SNL' names Seth Meyers Weekend Update successor
Turns out Cecily Strong won't be manning the Weekend Update desk alone now that Seth Meyers has signed off Saturday Night Live for Late Night pastures. Replacing Meyers and co-anchoring with Strong is Colin Jost (rhymes with most) who is also SNL's head writer. He's one of the masterminds behind popular Update characters like Drunk Uncle, second-hand news correspondent Anthony Crispino, and Strong's The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party. Jost has big shoes to fill, and it'll be interesting to see his rapport with Strong in the coming weeks; can they pull off the perfect comedic timing that reigned during Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey's co-anchoring tenure?

'Hannibal' season 2 trailer will whet your appetite and then some
The best series on TV you're not watching is Bryan Fuller's adaptation of Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon and his take on the famed fictional serial killer who eats his victims, Hannibal Lector. From the brilliant cast led by Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy (who play the nefarious Dr. Lector and gifted FBI profiler Will Graham, respectively) to the stunning cinematography, NBC's Hannibal is one of the most compelling and thrilling dramas on TV today. Despite poor ratings last year, the Peacock miraculously renewed Fuller's show for a second season and here we have our very first taste (or apéritif, if I may) of what's in store. At the end of season 1 Fuller took fans on an unexpected turn by placing Graham behind bars letting the public think that he committed Hannibal's heinous crimes.
Enjoy the masterfully cut trailer hanging above. After the break, a tantalizing teaser. Hannibal is back February 28. (Click here for more…)
Seth Meyers & Jimmy Fallon prepare for their new late-night digs
Next month Seth Meyers exits Saturday Night Live to become the new host of Late Night as Jimmy Fallon takes over The Tonight Show. In the promo embedded above, you'll see just how physically close Meyers' new job is going to be to his old job–they're "basically 30 feet" from each other as SNL's home is located in the famed Studio 8H and the new Late Night is housed inside Studio 8G. Looks like Seth has some work to do, and fast; Late Night with Seth Meyers premieres February 24 on NBC.
After the break, the Peacock introduces "a new era" of late night as Jimmy Fallon is about to take the reins from Jay Leno to host The Tonight Show. The clip looks back at the previous Tonight Show hosts, even the fleeting Conan O'Brien. Fallon, because he's the best, has decided to revert the show's name to its original style; instead of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, his show will be called The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, just as it was with original host Steve Allen, Jack Parr, and the late great Johnny Carson. A second clip featuring a kid version of Fallon follows. Fallon's Tonight Show premieres February 17.
Update: Fallon passes the Late Night pickle to Meyers after the break, as is tradition. (Click here for more…)
'SNL' hires Sasheer Zamata, first female African American cast member since 2007
Can't say this happens all the time. In the middle of its 39th season, SNL has added a new featured player to its sprawling cast of up-and-coming comics. Enter 27-year-old Sasheer Zamata; she hails from NYC and studied improv at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. She also happens to be the first female African American in SNL's cast since Maya Rudolph departed the late-night sketch comedy show in 2007. Zamata made her big debut this past weekend on the show Drake hosted so well.
In addition to bringing on Zamata, SNL bossman Lorne Michaels showed his support in diversifying his show by also hiring two female African American writers in LaKendra Tookes and Leslie Jones.
Happy Holidays from an animated 'Community'
As season 5 looms on the horizon, NBC has pushed out an animated bit featuring the stars of Community. In "Miracle on Jeff's Street," Jeff Winger (voiced by star Joel McHale) gets ambushed by his Greendale friends including the Dean, Chang, and his study group made up of Britta, Shirley, Annie, Troy, and Abed. It's a fun and funny clip as Annie mocks the Peacock's decision to air Community so late in the season resulting in an Olympics scheduling fiasco.
Community returns with Dan Harmon in tow on Thursday, January 2. Oh, and Happy Holidays!
Preview Dan Harmon's 'Community' season 5 returning this January
Community returns for its fourth season with creator Dan Harmon back at the helm on January 2. Here is one dark, hilariously explosive trailer for said season. The study group is back in full form, though Donald Glover's character Troy acknowledges his early-in-the-season departure with a playful Scrubs joke. Chevy Chase might be out as Pierce Hawthorne but John Oliver's Ian Duncan and Dino Stamatopoulos rises from the ashes to reprise fan-favorite Star-Burns. Notable guest stars include Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks and Justified's Walton Goggins. Watch the absurdity unfold in the 2 1/2 minute trailer above; fans will surely love how it milks the whole "six seasons and a movie" movement for all its worth!
Community returns Thursday, January 2 with two new back-to-back episodes starting at 8PM on NBC. Jump after the break to watch a second sneak peak at season 5. (Click here for more…)

A charity event featuring a Scottsdale artist is aimed at helping four-legged friends across the nation find good homes.
PetSmart Charities, Inc., the non-profit arm of Phoenix-based animal product retailer PetSmart, is launching its annual "Just a Buck, Change Their Luck," charity campaign next week.
Artist Mitch Henderson, known for his colorful animal portraiture, was selected in a nationwide search to create the art work for this year's campaign's merchandise, said Kim Noetzel, a spokeswoman for PetSmart Charities.
The two-week campaign will run at all PetSmart locations nationwide and in Canada and online at www.PetSmart.com, from Aug. 9- 26.
Proceeds from the merchandise, which features multi-colored "pop art" style artwork of dogs and cats on items ranging from T-shirts to mouse pads (priced from $5 to $15) will benefit organizations that help animals in need and are dedicated to animal adoption, pet retention and animal education programs, according to PetSmart Charities. The goal of the campaign is to raise $1.9 million in the U.S. and $150,000 in Canada, reported PetSmart Charities.
"The artists (we choose) are usually very involved with animal welfare and paint/design artwork based on shelter pets. Ultimately Mitch was chosen because we were familiar with his work and because we know he is so very passionate about the cause," said Noetzel, adding its important to select an artist who shares PetSmart Charities' commitment to saving animals' lives and promoting the adoption of shelter pets.
Henderson, who is represented by the Wilde-Meyer Gallery in Scottsdale, said he was thrilled to be chosen to be part of the charitable campaign.
"I was really excited to find out my art will be in every PetSmart store in the U.S. and Canada. And this is such a great cause,'" said Henderson, who favors dogs, cats, cows and horses as his subject matter of choice.
Noetzel said that new this year is a free online pet photo contest that will accompany the charity campaign. The winning dog and cat, she said, will be featured on next year's campaign merchandise.
Entry forms can be found on www.petsmartcharities.org.
Local organizations that have benefited from PetSmart Charities' "Just A Buck, Change Their Luck," campaign in the past have included the Arizona Humane Society in Phoenix, the Arizona Feline Network in Scottsdale and the Arizona Basset Hound Rescue in Gilbert, Noetzel said.
