Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) January 10, 2013
Presbyterian Senior Living and PinnacleHealth System today announced that they have been selected to partner in a national initiative to create strategies that improve quality of life for senior residents while producing cost savings to the health and long-term care systems. Developed by LeadingAge and Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (Enterprise), the Learning Collaborative will engage 12 teams of senior housing organizations and service providers to develop and refine housing and healthcare models over a two-year period. Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) is also participating in the effort, providing strategic policy support to the teams.
"At Presbyterian Senior Living, our mission is always to find new ways to improve quality of life for seniors, at our communities and across the country," said Diane Burfeindt, Vice President of Operations, Housing with Services at Presbyterian Senior Living. "We are honored to participate in the Learning Collaborative as we feel our partnership with PinnacleHealth demonstrates a true, synergistic relationship that we believe can be replicated on a national scale."
Through the Learning Collaborative, teams will explore components of housing with services strategies such as partnership development, operations, financing mechanisms, outcome measurement, data collection systems and processes, and policy and regulatory changes. The Learning Collaborative model highlights peer-to-peer education, harnessing the vast expertise among the participants.
Presbyterian Senior Living and PinnacleHealth were selected to participate in the National Learning Collaborative because of a progressive partnership aimed at reducing hospital costs and improving the health of residents at Presbyterian Senior Living's Presbyterian Apartments in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. After it was discovered that residents at Presbyterian Apartments were using the nearby PinnacleHealth emergency room for primary care needs in order to avoid public transportation challenges, the two organizations joined forces to better manage primary and follow up care. Today, a PinnacleHealth physician provides primary care for a certain number of hours each week, assisted by a health navigator to help residents in managing follow up care instructions and a social work navigator to assist with socioeconomic barriers to care.
"Evident results will be reduced emergency room visits and decreased hospitalizations among participating seniors," states Barbara Terry, vice president for Mission Effectiveness and Chief Diversity Officer at PinnacleHealth. "Our partnership with Presbyterian Senior Living provides a model for working together to improve access to care for seniors and enables them to maintain individual and optimal wellness and safe living."
Collectively, PinnacleHealth and Presbyterian Senior Living are helping patients proactively manage healthcare, reducing hospital visits and readmissions, while at the same time promoting better quality of life for residents.
"At a time when our senior population is growing more rapidly than ever before, and public resources for affordable housing and services are shrinking, it is vital that we take the necessary steps to support innovation, identify successes, and encourage the adoption of these emerging successful models," adds Terri Ludwig, president and CEO, Enterprise.
The 12 participating teams in the Learning Collaborative are leaders in providing affordable housing and healthcare services to a diverse senior population.

Microsoft makes Rare buyout officialSeptember 24, 2002
Brothers Chris and Tim Stamper have both left the British game studio, which was acquired by Microsoft for $375 million in 2002.
The Redmond, Wash.-based software maker confirmed the departure in a statement, but did not give a specific reason why the two are leaving.
"After more than 20 years, Chris and Tim Stamper have decided to leave Rare to pursue other opportunities," Microsoft said. "We thank them for the many years they have contributed to the Rare brand and wish them luck in their future endeavors."
Microsoft said that 19-year Rare veteran Mark Betteridge will lead the development team as studio director. Gregg Mayles, who helped create Rare's recent Viva Pinata title, will serve as creative director.
The departure of the Stamper brothers was reported earlier by enthusiast Web site 1up.com.

- Wow
- With the Stamper brothers Rare was able to push out all sorts of great games, esp. back during their Nintendo days. A great book documenting some of this is "The Ultimate History of Video Games".
Not sure where Rare is going to go at this point, but I'm sure the Stampers will continue to put out great games wherever they end up.

- Of course
- Yes, in a company with dozens and dozens of employees, I bet all the talent was solely on these 2 guys.
Why did they have other people working in the company when they are that good anyway?
That's the question that keeps me up at night.

When the news of Texas A&M joining the Southeastern Conference broke on Sunday afternoon, a lot of speculation arose about scheduling, what division it would go into and how it would effect recruiting for other SEC teams.
The scheduling has yet to be figured out as it will take some time and could even cause some teams to drop a non-conference game in 2012 to play against the Aggies.
As far as which division Texas A&M will be put in, it seems like it will be in the SEC West due to them being the western most SEC team. This could shake up how the divisions are lined up but all of that is yet to be seen.
When it comes to recruiting, it could have a quicker impact. the recruiting process for next year has been underway for quite some time now and the news could effect how some SEC teams plan their recruiting, but that's not the case for Mississippi State.
"Our philosophy is we start recruiting Mississippi and locally which is a five-hour radius around Starkville," said third-year MSU head coach Dan Mullen. "From there, we have secondary areas and Texas is one of them that we'll go and get maybe a player a year out of and we don't expect that to change very much."
With Texas not being within those five hours, it doesn't mean that MSU won't get players from there, but the Aggies joining isn't going to sway Mullen to send more recruiters there.
"It won't change our philosophy very much," said Mullen. "We recruit Texas but it's not a main area for us, it's a secondary area for us but we have a couple kids on our team from Texas. I think it will just make us more inviting to players there to be interested in us because there is probably more recognition for us now in the state of Texas than there's been in the past."
Some other SEC West teams who already recruit the state of Texas pretty heavily is Arkansas and LSU. In fact, Arkansas will be playing Texas A&M this Saturday in Dallas, which has changed up the recruiting rules for the game.
The SEC doesn't allow Arkansas to have recruits at this Saturday's game even though it is classified as a home game for the Razorbacks, and since the Aggies now fall under the SEC's umbrella, they probably will not be allowed to have recruits there either.
Even though they are opponents on Saturday and will be conference foes next season, Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino is happy with the Aggies joining and what the Razorbacks could get out of it.
"We're excited about A&M coming in to our conference," Petrino said. "We think that's a great deal for our conference, them and for us. It will certainly help our exposure and our recruiting in the state of Texas."
The SEC East teams don't seem to be as excited because a Texas player would be far away from home and would have an SEC school within their own state.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt thinks it could open some things up but is focusing on his state.
"We're blessed with a state that is full of athletes so Georgia is what we are going to recruit the most," said Richt. "I think that we could have more of a presence in the state of Texas with this addition, because you're still in the league and we're always looking for great players."
The effects on recruiting from the Aggies joining the SEC will not be fully seen until a couple of years have past.

Celebrities are supporting a campaign to help the elderly this winter, as new research reveals older people in Britain are concerned about feeling cold and lonely.
Charity Age UK is calling for people to reach out to their elderly neighbours in a bid to reduce the illness, isolation, and risk of death that older people suffer from during the colder months.
"It's shocking that so many older people die needlessly in the winter months," actress Dame Helen Mirren said in a statement. "I'd urge everyone to get stuck in this winter and help out older friends, neighbours, and relatives with Age UK."
Government figures show that 25,000 over 65s could die because of the cold.
A new survey by the charity shows that nearly three-quarters of a million older people don't know their neighbours and so do not ask for help in winter. In a poll last year, the same number reported feeling lonely and isolated.
Over one-third are also concerned about staying warm at home.
"Older people can struggle to stay warm and well," Lucy Harmer, Age UK's head of information and advice, says. "Being alone in winter can intensify some of the mental and physical issues for older people."
The Big Winter Pledge is part of the campaign and includes popping in to see an older neighbour, helping out when the cold weather hits, and volunteering with Age UK.
Popping in" gives social contact to the elderly, one of the things they find difficult. "Half of older people in the UK consider the TV as their main form of company," Harmer says.
Studies show that loneliness can have health risks equivalent to obesity and smoking. The colder weather also brings with it an increase in associated health problems, including heart attacks, strokes, respiratory problems, pneumonia, and depression.
Harmer also says a real issue for people with low incomes is having to choose between the cost of heating the home and the cost of feeding themselves well.
"We want to make sure people have the right income," she said. "We ask people to get in touch with Age UK, then you can have a benefits check and this will include looking at fuel costs as well, [and] seeing if there are ways older people can be helped to get more money coming in."
Age UK advise keeping at least one room in the home at 21 degrees C and wearing layers of clothing instead of one thick, wool jumper.
Harmer challenges the myth that leaving a window open is healthy.
"It's better to make sure that window is shut to keep the room at the right temperature," she says.
The underlying theme is helping people to stay warm and well. Celebrities are also backing the initiative by donating a coat that will be sold to raise proceeds for the Spread the Warmth campaign.
Spice Girl singer Geri Halliwell said in a statement: "Everybody deserves to keep warm this winter. If you buy my coat it will really help Age UK."
The government is making £20 million available so local councils can help vulnerable people living in cold housing.
A Department of Health spokesperson said in an email, "Each local authority will be able to share their ideas with us on schemes which help people who suffer in the cold weather, and funding will help make those ideas a reality."

It's that time of the week again, you're ready to wind down to your two day break but what are you going to do with your weekend? Well, it's scientifically proven that you'll need need at least 22 minutes of art and design related discussion to help you truly relax. If you're unable to get the right dose there's a dangerous risk of hair loss, hernias and raised blood pressure. So crank up the volume (not too loud now) and let us soothe your tired ears with our made-for-radio voices informing you about all this week's most exciting creative news.
Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez is an illustrator of some remarkable skill residing in the Maryland region of the USA – Baltimore to be exact. With pastel shades and complex, linear constructions of sprawling cities and jolly characters he's slowly but surely garnering a reputation for himself, winning commissions for the likes of Esquire and The Believer. Our favourite piece of his work explores the genesis of New York City's grid system which surely earns him a prize for simultaneously making the subject of US urban planning interesting and giving characters in period costume beaks for literally no explicable reason. Bravo!
I make no secret of being an absolute sucker for a simple, well-executed idea so hopefully you won't be too surprised by just how simple this latest project from Alex Fuller really is. The New York creative all-rounder has just produced this miniature tome, Two Letter Words, that examines the abstract qualities of (surprise!) two letter words, taking those ubiquitous linguistic shapes and using them to make unique marks on paper. Printed in red and blue to make the intersections between letterforms abundantly clear, it's a truly satisfying way to look at shapes we interpret as language almost innately in a fresh, purely aesthetic context.
Not many videos warrant the reaction of "somebody had to do it" much more than this life-like remake of one of the most famous title sequences in history —the intro to The Simpsons. Devilfish, a London-based creative agency, and director Chris Palmer at Gorgeous made this video as a teaser for Sky One a few years back, but just like the program it's promoting, it's just not getting old.
This is cool. This is a Tumblr that shows all of the images that have come out of the power-couple Hort and Nike working together on campaigns. Not all of the images were actually used, some are just process shots, but they're all equally brilliant. It's funny how the allegiance of a Berlin design studio and arguably the biggest corporation in the world can have such a powerful and harmonious union, but there you go. It's also surprising that Nike actually gave them the go-ahead to use these in-progress images, we can only suppose that Hort's director Eike Koenig's notoriously contagious happiness is spreading…
Somewhere between Kuniyoshi, the last great master of ukiyo-e printmaking and the godfather of brutal surrealism in Japanese art, and Toshio Saeki, the foremost practitioner of bizarre, beautiful ukiyo-e inspired erotica sits Mu Pan, a Brooklyn-based artist channelling all the darkest, most surreal elements of his genius predecessors into large, complex watercolours and oil paintings. Mu's work is not for the faint of heart; it's riddled with explorations of the darker sides of humanity and serves as a fantasy satirisation of contemporary life.
No matter what age you are, going to the zoo is always the most awesome way to spend your day. Whilst our attention is mainly focused on the animals (and the odd fat kid), we forget to look at the environments these creatures are forced to live in. Phil Jungs's fascination with these artificial habitats lies in "the perverse beauty of their forms which strike a compelling contrast to the reality they portray," for they are "glaring portrayals of our distorted and disconnected views of the natural world." The eerie atmosphere of his photographs is achieved by their vacancy, and are a world away from the exciting and bustling energy we normally associate with a zoo.
Ohhhh this is so nice. Last November, while you were perhaps been toiling away at a tax return or flicking numb-eyed through the Argos catalogue that you found on the bus, friends and occasional artistic collaborators Michael Crowe and Lenka Clayton were up to something very special indeed. Every day in November Michael and Lenka would create one drawing of something they had witnessed first hand that day, using only a typewriter as their medium.
Ever wondered where Amazon keep their huge inventory? Well thanks to Ben Roberts and journalist Sarah O'Connor, you can indulge your curiosity in their project Amazon Unpacked. In 2011, Amazon occupied a warehouse the size of nine football pitches in the dilapidated town of Rugeley, Staffordshire.
Born in Japan and raised in Switzerland, David Favrod later applied for dual nationality at the Japanese embassy, but was declined. In response, David created a project called Gaijin ("the foreigner" in Japanese), where he channels his feelings of rejection and his desire to understand his Japanese roots: "the aim of this work is to create "my own Japan", in Switzerland, from memories of my journeys when I was small, my mother's stories, popular and traditional culture and my grandparents war narratives."
What an absolute pleasure it is to read about Philippe's carefully made, happy projects. From beautifully crafted bowls made of leftover receipts, to tiny boats powered by tea lights, to contraptions that produce perfectly rectangular loaves of home made bread. You know those ideas that you have sometimes when you're walking along in the sun that, for one reason or another, you shrug off? Well, it' almost as if Philippe's practice is to actually put those nice little ideas into practise. And, as you can see, it was definitely worth his while. I urge you to read more about his lovely projects over on his website.
Now and again we come across work that our name doesn't quite do justice to; calling it nice doesn't cut it, and now and again is perhaps even a little misleading. In this particular instance that's definitely the case – there's nothing nice about this advert from Grey NYC. Nevertheless you can't fault the execution of this 30 second piece of film that manages to be provocative, shocking and flawlessly communicative with little more than a simple message, clear direction and well-considered copy. Whichever side of the gun control discussion you're on (and it's a more nuanced debate than most comments sections on the web would have you believe) it's impossible to deny the directorial skill at play here.
Vampires have infiltrated popular culture, especially of the teen variety, but twin brothers, Gert and Uwe Tobias are more concerned with their Romanian heritage than the myth of Dracula. As a result, eastern European folklore is a key influence for their artwork; strange-looking creatures creep into their pieces, and you have to look twice to recognise these characters, especially in their woodcuts.
I don't think I've met anyone who doesn't love nature documentaries, and with the soothing tones of David Attenborough, it's easy to become hypnotised by the insane scope of the animal kingdom. Marc Martin, a keen traveller and illustrator, has created a children's book that will satisfy your thirst for animal knowledge, and it is called The Curious Explorer's Illustrated Guide to Exotic Animals A to Z.
We love Raphaël Garnier, his wonderful French mind is capable of conjuring up all kinds of weird and wonderful shapes that are a trip inside the hazy limbo between graphic design and illustration. He's been a bit of a man of mystery of late (yes, any artist without a website is a "mystery") but now he's back and bigger than ever with a very professional website, which launches tomorrow, and a new exhibiton under his belt.
Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira creates immersive sculptures and installations the likes of which we've never seen. Fashioned predominantly from found timbers, Henrique's complex structures imitate organic forms and biological oddities that are simultaneously alluring and repellant. Works with names like Ursulinens Prolapse suggest a very direct link with the artist's own bodily functions, seemingly creating a giant intestine for viewers to wander through. But despite this gastric link Henrique's works are utterly appealing and undoubtedly impress with both their skill and scale.
Are you the sort of person who daydreams about times spent in the suburbs of your youth, smoking in the park and jumping off things into swimming pools? I am. Even though they seemed pretty tawdry and, at times, unbearable, your teenage years are still kind of glorious to reminisce upon. If you can't, or would prefer not to, delve back into your own puberty, just take a look at some of Olivia Bee's new work.
We've got simple tastes when it comes to music videos. If they include the most infectious guitar riff we've heard all year, flashing, disorientating imagery, a suggestive amount of bare flesh or the inexplicable appearance of an infant child we're pretty much guaranteed to be impressed. If by some fluke of music video alchemy they contain all of the above ingredients with the addition of comically placed tube socks, an old people's home and a whacking great pillow fight then heck, you may have just created our favourite music video ever! Which is exactly what New Zealand video-maker Jordan Dodson has achieved with his latest promo for Heroes For Sale. Prepare to have some (OBVIOUSLY NSFW) fun!
This week, Holly Wilkins looks at the furore around US retailer American Apparel's recent adverts, and how those banned promo spots are being put to the public for their opinion on the matter.
Reading the captions alongside Polina Joffe's stunning projects is the graphic design equivalent of finding out Natalie Portman can speak seven languages. Her collection of utterly beautiful publications all have the same thing in common — they all are built on the foundations of a brilliant idea. From intricate book whose entire design relates to and explores the work of Kafka, to a newspaper that "explores the relationship between the dot and the line," Polina's work is just one intelligent joy after the other. Her website states she's available for work and collaborations — form an orderly queue!
We only featured Two Times Elliott's work back in January but that was early days for their revamped online presence and they'd only just sorted out their new branding. In the few months since they've got themselves organised, launched a new website, produced a shed load of new work and, by all accounts, are continuing to do very well for themselves indeed.
Set Designer David White (I call him Dave) is riding a seemingly endless wave of success at the moment, amassing a huge body of polished work for just about every important name in fashion, editorial and retail you can think of. How many people out there can count Alasdair McLellan, Juergen Teller and Metz + Racine as collaborators, 032C, Vogue and Harpers Bazaar as clients and still have time to work with brands like Vivienne Westwood, Uniqlo and Kenzo? Nobody else spring to mind? Thought not.
To inject some more fun into the start of the week we've brought this month's event forward. Tuesdays are officially the new Wednesdays…
Phew! This is some steamy typography if ever I saw some. Let's all give a big round of applause to Malika Favre who has successfully made typography sexy, and not in the lame "that design is seriously sexy" way, in the actually sexy way! She's taken the ancient, much pored-over Kama Sutra and transformed it into an online orgy of illustration and graphic design represented in slowly gyrating gif format with help from Guy Moorhouse, the Present Perfect team and a whole host of other animators.
It's hard to believe that Luke Pelletier (painter, printmaker, musician AND skateboarder) is at the ripe age of 20 with already such an splendid portfolio. Currently living in Chicago, Luke clearly has no time to clean his studio as he is constantly churning out artworks from paintings, large murals and even a pinball machine (so awesome). Luke's art work is full of energy, and varies depending on his mood or what he is doing at the time. Passionate and dedicated, Luke has real talent, be sure to keep an eye on him.
We like graphic design that's in use just fine. If it's good, get it out there. No problem. But there's a certain frisson that comes with viewing work that you know has been rejected by the client. Whether they didn't like the concept, the execution wasn't good enough or they just didn't have the budget to see the project through, it's always interesting to see work that didn't make the cut.
There's a number of reasons why ECAL in Lausanne is such a popular destination for the world's brightest and best visual communicators. For starters it's got a hard-won reputation for turning raw talent into serious skill, then there's all the visiting lecturers chosen for their excellence in their own particular field, not to mention the impressive facilities on offer to all students. But for us, one of the biggest factors in ECAL's success is the way they promote their talent.
This year our dear old friend the internet turned 30, and shows no sign of slowing down. Now more than ever, it seems apt that Rafaël Rozendaal uses it as his canvas to create visual and interactive art work. For Rafaël, the internet gives him freedom to create art work that couldn't otherwise be conceived in the physical world.
Is it me or have the standards of editorial photography skyrocketed recently? I don't mean in quality, I do know that cameras get better as technology develops, but the level of intimacy and aspects of habitat seem really prevalent in a lot of people we are posting at the moment. Maybe it's got something to do with Apartamento magazine and their consistently brilliant choice of commissioned photographers, including the fabulous Ye Rin Mok.
Who knew that wine could look so freaking cool! Well, Paul Belford Ltd had an inkling and have redirected their flair for creating beautifully crafted books to devising an elegant, yet modern aesthetic approach for bespoke distributor Waddesdon Wines, the Rothchild's UK wine merchant. The wine bottles are wrapped in antique-looking maps from the Rothchild's vineyards in Bordeaux, then packaged in a simple, grey box.
If, in a few hundred years, whatever inhabits this earth digs up ancient relics to give them clues of our time, I hope that it's not a fizzing, cracked pile of iPads and Lean Mean Grilling Machines, but Laura Bird's pottery. Drawing influences from the ceramics of ancient civilisation, and adding a touch of her own humour, Laura's beautiful objects, curiosities and ornaments are clever and easy on the eye. I can say with the utmost honesty that after perusing her website for a while I anxiously began Googling London-based pottery courses. We love you, Laura!
Just a quick warning for you; if you're in the office and your workplace is the kind of environment that abhors obscenities flashing across your computer screen then best leave this one 'til you're home. Aside from effing and blinding, this latest video from South London-via Japan outfit Pseudo Nippon and friend and collaborator Myles Painter has it all: green-screen gimp suit, mad yoyo skills, infectious drum beat and some seriously post-modern behind-the-scenes footage of the video being made. Most important of all though, it's a LOT of fun and makes us wish we'd spent a bit more time learning to yo-yo like pros during our misspent youth. I told you they weren't a waste of time, Mum.
There is something enigmatic about the garden gnome, said to protect us from evil sorcery, however I can't help but think that behind those blank beady eyes, something is going on. IKEA clearly share the same paranoia, and along with ad agency Mother, have produced this pretty hilarious advert to show what the garden gnome are really up to – plotting a sabotage against garden furniture.
In a world of bright colours and smiles, it is hard to believe that Ryan Chapman lives in the same smoggy, grey London we call home. Ryan has developed a signature look to his joyous characters using colourful and simple shapes, and whether they are repairing a car, rendezvousing on a house boat or smoking a pipe, these little people seem to be enjoying every second of it.
We came across South Korean designer Wonmin Park tucked away in a basement of the Spazio Rossana Orlandi – just below the space in which Konstfack were exhibiting – but don't be fooled, the quality of this man's work can't be contained below ground. Wonmin is a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven and since 2011 has presided over his own studio creating unique products and furnishings, all notable for their ethereal beauty (not a word you'd normally associate with an object designed to cradle your backside).
Today's music video is a little later in the day than usual – so that we can bring you an exclusive first look at a brilliant new video from Moniker. Somewhere between music video and video game, Do Not Touch invites the viewer to use their mouse pointer to complete various tasks, from staying in a certain area of the screen, to avoiding a naked model and being the opponent for a scantily clad boxer. Beautifully simple and super effective as we've come to expect from Moniker – and I'm sure Dutch band Light Light are suitably thrilled. Get touching.
It might be over now but we've still got one or two bits and pieces left over from Milan Design Week that we're not done talking about just yet, one of which is the collaboration between Philips, Kvadrat and Patricia Urquiola at Moroso's Milan showroom. To celebrate the launch of Patricia's first textile collection for Kvadrat, Moroso held a special launch event, The Revolving Room, that played host to these innovative fabrics.
It's kind of magical when unlikely celebrities team up to be really cool together and save us all some time (there's a reason why this blog is so timelessly popular). So what happens when the illusive gods of music that are Daft Punk make a comeback with a man so famous that he is virtually untouchable? Well, I have no idea, but there's definitely a reason why the sun has finally come out in London. Read a little more about this charming teaser and how it came about over on Rolling Stone.
Hot diggity damn! It seems like Coney Island in the 1970s was the place to be. Beach babes in every direction, and no one captured it better than Bruce Gilden. POINT have produced over four hours of material with Bruce Gilden and have given us a short excerpt with the man. Comments like he is only nice with his "wife and cats, and sometimes my daughter," and exclaiming that he doesn't want his subjects feel special, you can't help but start to love the guy for his indirect charm. The complete version will be shown at the POINT Authenticity Conference at RIBA on May 2-3.
We've not heard much from Lubok Verlag in a while. When you're in the business of producing handmade books fashioned entirely from linocut pages it's understandable that getting a new publication out into the world takes a lot of time. Even so it feels like ages since Lubok 10 first landed. But don't worry, they've just been in touch to announce that Lubok 11 is on its way, and you can expect the usual rich, inky goodness that these German print purists do so well. With 88 original linocuts from the likes of Christoph Ruckhäberle, Ewoud van Rijn and Koen Taselaar we guarantee this is going to be one hell of a beautiful publication – so best get those pre-orders in quick!

Why? Market categories. The manufacturers assume that anyone shopping
for a combo device is seeking to spend bottom dollar. Therefore, the

A Russian actor who wanted gay people to be burned alive in ovens has resigned from a leading post after the backlash.
Ivan Okhlobystin, who has also called on Putin to make homosexuality illegal, has retired from his creative director position at Euroset, Russia's largest mobile phone retailer.
'Given the incessant threats, provocations and insults from the sodomites in respect of my friends, associates and their familes, I have insisted I should resign,' he said.
'People close to me do not have to suffer from my public position from which I will never give up.'
Closing his post, Okhlobystin said: 'Sodom and Gomorrah must be destroyed!'
His resignation follows an internet petition calling for the actor to be fired from his position.
Euroset ignored the petition, saying Okhlobystin's comments reflected his personal opinion and not of the company.
In December last year, he caused an international outrage after the former priest said he would burn all gay people alive in the oven as they were a 'living danger to my children'.
And a couple of weeks later in January, he said the gay propaganda laws in Russia did not go far enough and called for a ban on sodomy to be introduced.
Okhlobystin, who made a short-lived bid for the presidency in 2011, campaigned on the policy of putting up a new Iron Wall around Russia to start a campaign of 'cleansing' and 'rebuilding the Russian nation'.

From arcade games to consoles, the technology behind video games is constantly on the move. Now days, we're seeing another shift in the gaming industry – console games being converted into SmartPhone apps. To celebrate this progression of technology, we've compiled a list below of the 10 most popular video games that have been adapted for the mobile market.
1. Atari All-Stars
Video gaming of any kind cannot be discussed without offering substantial props to the pioneers – game creator since 1972, Atari has brought us a hoard of the most timeless arcade and console games. Now, 40 years later, there is an iPhone app that puts many of their most popular all-star titles such as Pong, Centipede and Asteroids in the palm of your hand.

2. Tiger Woods PGA Tour
Although Tiger Woods' popularity has decreased as of late, there is no question that the Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game was amongst the top console games in recent history – oh but now it's an iPhone app with touch-screen "swing mechanics" and some of the best graphics on the handheld market.
Photo Credit:http://gamerinvestments.com/video-game-stocks/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tiger-woods-half-billion.jpg
3. PacMan
Speaking of video game pioneering, the ever-famous PacMan was first debuted in 1980 as an arcade game and has been a household staple ever since. While the graphics and objective haven't changed a bit since its creation, it is now an iPhone app that is every bit as addictively entertaining as it ever was.

4. Rock Band
Exploding onto the scene in late 2007 via all of the major consoles (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii), Rock Band was an instant classic. The interactive game allowed users of any age feel like an arena rock star, even if they had never picked up an instrument their life. With this widespread popularity, it only made sense that a handheld version would follow – and follow it did. The free trial app now comes stock on many Android devices!

5. Tetris
Making the list as another of the most classic games to ever crossover from console to app is the one and only Tetris. What appears to be such a simple concept of geometry has become one of the most recognizable game titles in all the world and is now a downloadable app on most any phone – SmartPhone or not.

6. Madden NFL
Named after pro football Hall of Famer and infamous sideline commentator John Madden, the Madden NFL video game series was first introduced by EA Sports in 1988 for home consoles but now carries the torch as both a console favorite and the "most authentic NFL experience in the App Store."

If American football isn't your idea of proper sport, the FIFA Soccer series is your next best bet. Continuing EA Sports' offering of the console-games-gone-mobile, FIFA 12 can be played on most any modern console at home, however, more importantly, it's also available in the App Store for your iPad or iPhone.
Photo Credit: http://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/08/fifa11_keyart_uk-e1281002671190.jpg
8. Super Monkey Ball
Originally developed for Nintendo and booming in popularity shortly after, Super Monkey Ball is now available as a mobile app. What makes this mobile version so great is that it uses the same sensory controls as the Wii and puts your phone's accelerometer to full use as you control the game by tilting your phone back and forth.
Photo Credit: http://www.thebitbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/step-4-playing1.png
9. Assassin's Creed
First released in 2007 for most major consoles but gaining its greatest push toward popularity through the Nintendo DS, the Assassin's Creed series of third-person action games was a natural fit for the mobile device market and has continued to thrive.

10. SimCity
Last but not least, SimCity is another of the most classic video games that has made the jump from console to SmartPhone. Originally developed by Maxis in 1989, this simulation of city building has seen its fair share of evolution and while the app program is a rather stripped down version of the console, it's robust enough to keep your attention – especially when you destroy your city with one of the pre-programmed natural disasters.

The Lagunitas St. Pat's Day Pot Bust
By William Brand
Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 at 7:40 am in Uncategorized.
Back in the saddle again…Lagunitas Brewing got fined last year and not allowed to sell beer for 20 days after three people were arrested at the Petaluma, CA brewery's regular Thursday night tasting party for possession of marijuana. This came after an eight week undercover investigation by the California Alcohol Beverage Controld Board.
Two agents repeatedly tried to buy marijuana from people at the tasting. It was offered free, but no one would sell it to them. There's a lot more to it. You can find the whole story in my Beer of the Week column in today's (Wednesday, May 24, 2006) Oakland Tribune and other newspapers.
Anyway, the brewery's new seasonal is Undercover Shut-Down Ale. The funniest part is what founder Tony Magee wrote on the label in very small print:
Front: "We brewed this especially bitter ale in remembrance of the 2005 St. Patrick's Day Massacre and in celebration of our 20 day suspension back in January of this year.
((Beside Lagunitas Dog)))
Shhh. Be vewry vewry qwuiet. We're sneakin' around lookin for grownup taxpaywers dowin tings we don't appwoove of. Be wery kwiet. Dare awound here somewhere…..Shhhhhh.Be vewry vewery kwiet..
OG Unforgivable
IBU: Unrepentant.
From the day of the first congress at the moment of the passage of the first law , we became weaker. The extra-large B.Franklin said it well that you can tell the strength of a society by the paucity of the pages in its book of laws. Today we are all surrounded by laws tax law – civil law – criminal law. Statutes and Bills. Laws that make large and small criminals of us all.
And sometimes just doin' something that you like to do and hurts no one is also criminal, or at least strongly discouraged. Seems we can't be trusted to live well and safely on our own. On our own we would all probably descend quickly into mayhem, cannibalism and ultimately shoplifting and jaywalking.If only we all could be trusted. It's good having such wise fathers looking out for us isn't it. Whatever. 707-769-4495. CHEERS!

Villa Cimbrone in Ravello
More photos - Villa Cimbrone in Ravello
Villa Cimbrone is accessible from a flight of stairs just beyond Santa Chiara on the Cimbrone hill. The villa competes in beauty and extravagance with Villa Rufolo.
Indeed this villa is even a clearer example of how history slowly put layers over layers on the buildings of Ravello working to create a very peculiar and fascinating town.
The villa has Roman origins but very little is left of the imperial structure as the Acconciagioco, Fusco and Amici families that lived here turned into a rural home that drastically modified the original look of the villa.
However in 1904 the English Lord Ernst Beckett bought the house and worked to transform it into the architectonical wonder that it is today.
Along with the exotic fashion of the time he made a lot of effort in designing the garden in such a way that it could remind of foreign and distant lands, and quite ironically to many English gardens of the time.
There are endless flower beds of roses, hydrangeas, begonias, and all sorts of exotic plants.
The garden's wilderness makes an even stronger impact on the newcomer when from the shady green tunnels of trees the path suddenly and dramatically opens up onto the Infinity Terrace. Cimbrone's belvedere is indeed Ravello's most exposed part, and thus the gaze can freely wonder along the Salerno Gulf, all the way from Atrani to Paestum's plain and even down to Punta Licosa.
Nowadays Villa Cimbrone is a hotel, however the Garden and the Belvedere can be toured purchasing a ticket.
The interior of the Villa can also be toured on a less frequent basis, however the Hotel staff will be happy to show tourist the 1917 cloister ,very similar to that in San Francesco Church, and the 1913 crypt which opens up to sea like a theatre gallery and vaguely recalls the intertwined and high vaults of Villa Rufolo. Villa Cimbrone's garden is ideal for romantic walks and moments of glamorous relax. Furthermore from the Garden one can go down the Cimbrone hill along some hikes that lead to Mercury belvedere, Eva's cave, Bacchus temple and finally to the Rose Garden all these spots are decorated with statues and marbles, but of course the most astonishing attraction is the mystical view onto the sea.

He has been one of the most controversial figures in all of St. Louis over the last year or more. The Reverend Lawrence Biondi is stepping down as President of St. Louis University.
Some of those who spent the past several months calling for Biondi to step down say they were surprised by the news.
For the past few years frustration has started to gather among students and faculty - fed up, they have said, with an atmosphere of fear and disrespect on the SLU campus.
And while two of the leaders of the effort to force Biondi to step down say they respect what he has done over his 25 years as President, they also call his resignation a victory for the future of the University.
"When we heard the announcement we didn't believe it," said Liz Ramsey a Saint Louis University Law student. "We have put out messages thanking him for his service to the University but we are really thrilled that he's come to the conclusion that it's time to move on," said Ramsey who helped organize student protest against Biondi.

"Talk, Sing, Read, Write, Play -- Everyday!" This handout provides early literacy guidelines for you to use with your children. Every Child Ready to Read is not a program at the library, but a resource describing the importance of talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing with your child at different developmental levels.
Join us for an early literacy experience as we read stories, sing songs and have musical movement. Time for Twos is designed to prepare children ages 24 to 35 months for preschool. Siblings are welcome.

This appetizer is a sensation whenever and wherever you serve it. Jalapeño peppers stuffed with Smoked Grafton Cheddar, wrapped with crisp, smoky bacon, glazed with barbeque sauce is a combination that can't be beat. The great thing about this recipe is that there are no fixed proportions—it depends how many you want to make, and the size of the peppers. Plan on making twice as many as you think people will eat.

Gravlax with Rye Crackers & Honey Mustard Dill Sauce
Gravlax can be the centerpiece of any appetizer buffet served during the holiday season, or really any time you want to serve something special. I have scaled down the size of this recipe to make it more accessible. Many recipes start with a 7 to 10 pound fish—I find that's a little more than I generally need. I used a fillet of wild caught Coho salmon weighing a little over a pound. It is more expensive than farm-raised salmon, but is worth every penny. Serve gravlax thinly sliced on crispy, homemade rye crackers and top with a spoonful of honey mustard sauce into which you have stirred some fresh dill. Continue reading
Roasted Delicata Squash Chips with Sweet Chili Garlic Dipping Sauce
Oven roasted Delicata rings are sweet and crispy and create a beautiful presentation. It is the easiest of all winter squashes to prepare since you don't have to peel it, which is most of the battle with winter squashes. It slices into perfectly sized portions and provides a terrific result with very little effort. Continue reading
Kielbasa Appetizer: The Ultimate Pig in a Blanket
Kielbasa is wrapped in seeded rye dough with mustard, sliced cheese, and sauerkraut. It is baked and then portioned into easy to eat slices. Serve these with tiny sour pickles, spicy mustard, and cold Pilsner beer. This is great party food. Continue reading
Twice Baked Cheddar Soufflés
Recently, I received a piece of Grafton Clothbound Cheddar as a gift. If you love Cheddar you've got to try this cheese. The cheese makers at Grafton use hormone-free raw milk purchased from small Vermont family farms. The handmade Cheddar is then aged in special caves from one to four years. The texture is slightly crumbly and has a distinct earthy taste. A special cheese calls for a special recipe. These soufflés can be a first course or a light lunch. You can make these up to a day in advance and then just reheat to serve. They puff up beautifully on the second baking, which only takes a few minutes. If you have never attempted a soufflé because it sounds complicated, this recipe eliminates the timing issue. Continue reading
Fiddleheads Tempura with Aoli
Spring came earlier than usual this year. Fiddleheads usually appear in May, but this year they are plentiful in April—even as far north as Elmore, Vermont. The scroll-like Ostrich Fern fiddleheads are easily identified by the brown skin that clings loosely to the emerging shoots. If you pick your own, harvest only 3 per plant to prevent decimating the fern population. Fiddleheads are readily available in markets during their brief season. They have a delicate flavor sometimes described as similar to asparagus or okra, or simply as spring greens. Continue reading
Shrimp Spring Rolls
Light, crisp, and packed with flavor, spring rolls are a perfect appetizer or light meal. Toothsome rice noodles provide an unexpected texture and are almost like the bristles of a paint brush that cling to the dipping sauce. The transparent rice wrappers allow you to display the contents of the rolls for a beautiful presentation. Continue reading
Scallion Pancakes
These pancakes are a classic appetizer formed of crispy layers holding thinly sliced scallions. The process of rolling out the dough, painting it with sesame oil, and then rolling it up like a jelly roll, making a spiral, and rolling it again creates these layers. Unlike most types of dough that call for using cold water this one uses boiling water to defeat the toughing influence of the gluten. When you roll it out you will notice that it doesn't try to pull back, but retains its shape. The dough has only 4 ingredients, and is easy to make. The result for such little effort is amazing. Continue reading
Crispy Salt and Pepper Flatbread
You can make different versions using this formula. Add different types of seeds such as: black sesame, flax, poppy, or cumin. Substitute rye flour for wholewheat and add caraway seeds. Add different herbs, minced garlic, or Parmesan cheese to the dough. Continue reading
Mozzarella Porcini Fondue
Gooey, stringy mozzarella blends beautifully with white wine and cream. The nutty flavor of porcini mushrooms adds a subtle note that is enhanced by the mellow cheese. Dip cubes of crusty sourdough bread into this fondue for a rich snack after skiing, during a Sunday afternoon football fest, or a special supper. Try to find Maplebrook Handmade Mozzarella, it has just the right moisture content and consistency. Continue reading
