The mystery of the Lawn Road novels
Crime writer Agatha Christie wrote prolifically while living at the Isokon flats in Hampstead.
Gene Adams investigates the spell they cast over her
Everybody has read Agatha Christie's comment about the ultra-modern 1933 Bauhaus-style Isokon flats being like a "giant liner" without any funnels, and most know that she was one of several famous people who once lived there, but that is often as far as it goes.
Inspired by the wonderful exhibition recently shown at the British Museum (Agatha Christie and Archaeology November 2001-Mar 2002), I thought it would be a good idea to add a bit of background to the quote – after all I live opposite the flats which we now call Isokon after the firm of the original owner Jack Pritchard.
Agatha Christie lived in the Lawn Road flats, as they were then called, at no.22, from 1940 until 1946. Her husband, the distinguished archaeologist Max Mallowan, was working for the Air Ministry in Cairo. Their friend Professor Stephen Glanville, also an archaeologist, was already living in the Lawn Road flats and helped Agatha to secure hers. It was wartime and Agatha, on her own, was in London throughout, suffering all the fears and privations of the bombing.
Agatha was doing voluntary war work as a hospital dispenser, in which she was well trained from voluntary work which she, as a young woman, had done in World War I. During World War II, while living in Lawn Road, her daily routine was at the University College Hospital, from which she sometimes walked home when the Tube trains were not running properly, and her evenings were spent writing.
She was at the height of her powers and fame as an author, and her war-time years at Lawn Road were extremely productive. Not only did she write several of the well-crafted crime novels we all know, but she was also very involved in writing for the stage, which she loved – and novels under the pseudonym of Mary Westmacott.
In addition she wrote a charming and entertaining memoir of her recent happy years accompanying her husband on archaeological digs in the Middle East during the 1930s, Come, Tell Me How You Live. This was written as a "homecoming present" for her husband Max, who returned to England in 1945. It is not only very informative about her love of archaeology but also reveals a delightful humourous witty personality and obviously a very likeable character.
Day-to-day life during the war in London was insecure and frightening. Whole buildings and streets would disappear overnight and no one knew whether they would survive to see the next day. Some friends of Agatha "harboured a small cache of tinned ham and olive oil for her, in case Lawn Road was knocked flat". Thus fortified, wrapped in Max's farewell present of a warm Jaeger dressing gown, she worked away on her noisy, state-of-the-art new typewriter, in her smart modern flat, both her own works and long letters to Max.
Stephen Glanville, their good friend, helped Agatha in her thriller writing, a vital source of income for all of them, by providing her with scholarly information about ancient Egypt. The result was Death Comes At The End, unusually set in ancient Egypt, and later, a play called Moon On The Nile.
In return for Stephen's professional scholarship she provided him with a sympathetic ear, listening to his complicated and apparently disastrous love-life. But when it became too much for her she would take refuge in her flat and in her own words, "lie back in that funny chair here which looks so peculiar and is really very comfortable". (Those wishing to see an original 1930s Isokon "funny chair" at close hand, will find an example in Hampstead Museum at Burgh House.)
By 1945 when the war ended, life in London must have been extremely dispiriting and uncomfortable. Agatha, anxiously awaiting the return of Max, but uncertain of the precise date of his arrival, decided to take a weekend in Wales to "get away from the flat". After a long tiring journey she staggered back to the flat in Lawn Road on Sunday evening, carrying her suitcase and a couple of kippers for dinner.
"I got weary and cold," she wrote later, "and started turning on the gas, throwing off my coat and putting my suitcase down. I put the kippers in the frying pan. Then I heard the most peculiar clanking noise. I went out on the balcony and looked down the stairs. Up them came a figure burdened with everything imaginable, clanking things hung all over him. This was Max. He might have left yesterday. He was back again. A terrible smell of frying kippers came to our noses and we rushed into the flat. What a wonderful evening it was! We ate burnt kippers and were happy."
They stayed in the flat until 1946, so Agatha had spent the better part of six years there, mainly on her own, while her husband was abroad. When they at last were able to reclaim their requisitioned (by the Navy) house in Devon in 1946, things began slowly to return to normal and they finally departed.
Gene Adams was Inner London Education Authority museum adviser until 1989 and later voluntary curator at Hampstead Museum, Burgh House from 1995-97. She has lived opposite the Isokon flats in Lawn Road, Hampstead since 1963.

PANDEIA was a daughter of the sky-god Zeus and the moon-goddess Selene. It is likely that she was a goddess of the full moon (panselênê in Greek) and of the earth-nourishing dew (hersê).
Several other writers mention a daughter of Zeus and Selene but name her Ersa (Dew) or Nemeia. It is not clear if these are three distinct goddesses or just alternate names for the one. She may also be connected with the Menai (Months), the fifty daughters of Endymion and Selene.
Homeric Hymn 32 to Selene (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th - 4th B.C.) :
"Once Kronides [Zeus] was joined with her [Selene] in love; and she conceived an bare a daughter Pandeia, exceeding lovely amongst the deathless gods."
Pseudo-Hyginus, Preface (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"From Jove [Zeus] and Luna [Selene] [was born] : Pandia."
Virgil, Georgics 3. 390 ff (trans. Fairclough) (Roman bucolic C1st B.C.) :
[Virgil mentions in passing how the god Pan seduced Selene by luring her down from the sky with a shining lamb's fleece. The story may be connected with the birth of goddess Pandeia, whose name prefix naturally suggests the god.]
"'Twas with gift of such snowy wool, if we may trust the tale, that Pan, Arcadia's god, charmed and beguiled you, O Luna [Selene the moon], calling you to the depths of the woods; nor did you scorn his call."
I) NEMEA Town in Argolis (Southern Greece)
According to the Scholiast on Pindar's Nemean Odes the eponymous goddess of the town of Nemea was a daughter of Zeus and Selene. She may be the same as the goddess Pandeia described in the Homeric Hymn. Her mother Selene was closely associated with cult of Zeus Nemeios in the town, being described as the mother or nurse of the famous Nemean Lion.
II) PHLIOS Town in Sikyonia (Southern Greece)
The goddess Dia was worshipped in the town of Phlios in Sikyonia near Nemea (above). She may be the Pandeia mentioned in the Homeric Hymn. Although the locals apparently identified this Dia with the goddess Hebe. This does not preclude her identity, since Hebe's mother Hera was sometimes identified with Pandeia's mother Selene.
Strabo, Geography 8. 6. 24 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"In Phlios and Sikyon the temple of Dia is held in honor; and Dia is their name for Hebe."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 2. 13. 3 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :
"On the Phliasian citadel [at Phlios, Argos] is a grove of cypress trees and a sanctuary which from ancient times has been held to be peculiarly holy. The earliest Phliasians named the goddess to whom the sanctuary belongs Ganymeda; but later authorites call her Hebe, whom Homer mentions in the duel between Menelaos and Alexandros, saying that she was the cup-bearer of the gods; and again he says, in the descent of Odysseus to Haides, that she was the wife of Herakles. Olen, in his Hymn to Hera, says that Hera was reared by the Horai (Seasons), and that her children were Ares and Hebe. Of the honours that the Phliasians pay to this goddess the greatest is the pardoning of suppliants. All those who seek sanctuary here receive full forgiveness, and prisoners, when set free, dedicate their fetters on the trees in the grove. The Phliasians also celebrate a yearly festival which they call Kissotomoi (Ivy-cutters). There is no image, either kept in secret of openly displayed, and the reason for this is set forth in a sacred legend of theirs though on the left as you go out is a temple of Hera with an image of Parian marble."

NEW YORK - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a plan to clean up contaminated soil and groundwater at the White Swan Cleaners/Sun Cleaners Superfund site in Wall Township, Manasquan Borough and Sea Girt, N.J., with cleanup costs estimated at $18.9 million.
White Swan Cleaners and Sun Cleaners operated in the area between 1960 and 1991, and are believed to have contributed to the contamination of the area's soil and groundwater with volatile organic compounds, including perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE), according to the Agency.
"Exposure to these chemicals can have serious health impacts, including liver damage and increased risk of cancer," says the EPA. "The plan proposed will require the excavation and treatment of contaminated soil and the treatment of some groundwater."
Under the proposed plan, about 5,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil at the former White Swan property will be "dug up and disposed of at a facility licensed to receive the waste," with the excavated area to be filled with clean soil, according to the EPA.
The former Sun Cleaners property will be treated with a process called soil vapor extraction, which removes the vaporized volatile organic compounds in the soil by using "a vacuum and then filtering the vapors through carbon filters to remove contaminants," the EPA says.
A technology called air sparging will also be used at the site to reduce the groundwater contamination.
"Air sparging is the process of injecting air directly into the contaminated groundwater," the EPA explains. "As the air bubbles rise, the volatilized contaminants are carried up into the soil and removed by an extraction system that collects the vapors. This process poses no threat to local air quality."
In other areas, groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds will be pumped to a treatment facility where it will be cleaned using air stripping and activated carbon, according to the EPA, as they will also require "periodic collection and analysis of groundwater samples to verify that the levels and extent of the contaminants are declining."
In December 2001, the EPA and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection began investigating whether vapors from the contamination were getting into area homes, schools and businesses. Of approximately 500 properties sampled to date, 34 have required installation of mitigation systems to vent the vapors.
"The program to sample indoor air quality at nearby residential and commercial properties will continue and, when elevated levels are found, vapor mitigation systems will be installed to address the problem," says the EPA.
In 2004, the EPA added the White Swan Cleaners/Sun Cleaners site to the federal Superfund list of most contaminated hazardous waste sites list.
"After sites are placed [on the list], the EPA searches for parties responsible for the contamination and holds them accountable for the costs of investigations and cleanups … EPA has identified Bank of America as a party potentially responsible for the site, and the investigation and study of cleanup alternatives was paid for and performed by Bank of America," according to the EPA.
"Thirty years of operation by local drycleaning companies have left a toxic contamination that will cost $19 million to address," says EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "This is an astonishing toxic legacy that the EPA is addressing. Our top priority is protecting public health and the local environment."

TORONTO - The University of South Florida scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to hand the Northern Illinois University Huskies a 27-3 loss in the 2010 International Bowl Saturday at the Rogers Centre.
Northern Illinois and South Florida battled to a 3-3 tie in the first half as NIU held the Bulls to minus three rushing yards and just 95 yards of total offense in the half. Each team punted four times in the first half in a field position battle. NIU harassed South Florida quarterback B.J. Daniels, sacking him four times in the half, including a 20-yard sack by freshman linebacker Tyrone Clark.
USF's Eric Schwartz put the Bulls on the board first with a 39-yard field goal with 10:17 left in the first half before Huskie senior Mike Salerno tied the game on a 21-yard boot early in the second period.
The turning point of the game came on South Florida's second possession of the second half. Leading 6-3 and facing a third and 13, Daniels scrambled to avoid the Huskie rush before connecting with wide receiver A.J. Love on a 46-yard touchdown pass to give the Bulls a 13-3 lead and the momentum. South Florida held the ball for 11:06 in the third quarter while the Huskies could manage only 10 offensive plays and 29 yards.
"We didn't do our job offensively," said NIU Head Coach Jerry Kill. "They wore us down. We played tough defensively today, especially in the first half."
Tailback Mike Ford did the bulk of the second half damage for the Bulls as he rushed 19 times for 189 of his 207 yards in the second half. Ford, who was named the game's MVP, finished with 207 yards on just 20 carries.
Daniels finished with 217 yards and two touchdowns on 14-of-22 passing, while Love had three catches for 56 yards and two TDs.
The NIU offense moved the ball in the first half, but was unable to get into the end zone. The Huskies outgained the Bulls 141-95 yards in the first half, however, NIU's offense was limited to 97 yards of total offense in the second half.
Junior Chad Spann led the Huskies in rushing, gaining 93 yards on 20 carries. Spann's 37-yard scamper in the fourth quarter put him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season, giving NIU its 10th 1,000-yard rusher in the past 11 years and first since 2007.
Quarterback Chandler Harnish finished the day going 12-for-25 for 130 yards with one interception. Marcus Lewis ended his career at NIU as the team's leading receiver with 38 yards on four catches. Cornerback and Florida native Chris Smith led all tacklers with eight, five solo in his first bowl game.
"We had a great time and this bowl was a great experience for our young men," Kill said. "The encouraging thing is we played a lot of freshmen today. We're a young team and we're excited about the future. This bowl game will help us down the road.
"I'm also very proud of our seniors. They accomplished a lot and went to three bowl games."
Northern Illinois finished the season 7-6 overall, while South Florida went to 8-5 with the win.

California Says It Is Committed to Increasing Biking, Walking
CalSTA, the state agency that oversees all state transportation departments including Caltrans, is committed to improving conditions for transit, biking, and walking, according to its Deputy Secretary for Environmental Policy and Housing, Kate White.
"Thirty percent of all trips in California are less than a mile," said White, testifying at a legislative hearing yesterday in Sacramento. "We want to make bicycling or walking the default for those short trips."
White gave her testimony at a joint hearing of the Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing and the Assembly Committee for Environmental Quality, which was set to discuss the relationships between transportation and greenhouse gas emissions. Representatives from state agencies addressed questions about what changes need to happen for the state to reach its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
CalSTA, according to White, recognizes the importance of clean vehicles and clean fuels. "However," she said, "our focus at the transportation agency is on the infrastructure and behavioral side of the coin. And that means improving transit, walking, biking, and housing to reduce vehicles miles traveled." She highlighted three strategies the agency is focusing on:
- High speed rail, which White called "the cornerstone of electrifying transportation in California." California expects high speed rail to replace "dirty" air trips between the Bay Area and the L.A. region. The project also includes electrifying Caltrain, which will have the added benefit of doubling the capacity of the popular Bay Area rail service.
- Supporting local transit for trips between five and a hundred miles long. The state transit account this year, said White, was for $1 billion, and the state generally contributes several hundred million dollars every year for local and regional transit.
- Active transportation. The Active Transportation Program (ATP) is investing in projects to make safe, inviting walking and biking trips an alternative to driving, especially for trips that are less than a mile. "These represent over 30 percent of all trips, and many are unfortunately still made by automobile," said White. "A mode shift to walking and biking not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but has many co-benefits for health, and for healthier life styles for children and families," she added.

OLBH Receives Grant to Improve Pediatric Emergency Preparedness
OLBH has accepted a grant from the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services to improve OLBH's pediatric emergency preparedness. The $2,000 grant is part of the board's Emergency Medical Services for Children project and will purchase monitors which will enable physicians to monitor a pediatric patient's breathing.
"The monitor lets the physician know how much carbon dioxide is being exhaled," Jeani Thomas, OLBH director of Nursing, said. "It's a great benefit for children and their parents and we appreciate being aligned with the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services in improving pediatric emergency preparedness."
The Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services brings lifesaving, emergency medical care to the Commonwealth by certifying first responders and emergency medical technicians. Additionally, it provides licenses to paramedics and ambulance services and establishes standards for the education and training of emergency medical services personnel.
The grant will be accepted on behalf of the hospital by its philanthropic arm, the OLBH Foundation. More information concerning the OLBH Foundation can be found here or by calling (606) 833-3655.

James Weaver
The Populist Party
The farmers and the silver producers also wanted Free Silver could not get satisfaction from either the Democratic or Republican Parties. In the early 1890s they moved into politics as a third party: the Populist or People's Party. The Populist Party entered candidates James Weaver, a former Union officer, and James Field, a former Confederate officer, into the presidential election in 1892 but did not win.
The Omaha Platform
Meeting in convention in 1892, the Populists created a party platform, known as the Omaha Platform, which was revolutionary for its day, rejecting the laissez faire philosophy of government and embracing ideas some considered radical. The Omaha Platform called for:
- The free and unlimited coinage of silver
- A Subtreasury system
- National government storage systems around the country where farmers could bring their nonperishable crops for storage. While the crops were stored, they could get a loan of legal tender paper money for the value of the crops. When farmers repaid the loans, they would get their money back. This would put more money in the economy and keep crops out of the market, which would help overproduction problems.
- A progressive income tax
- There was no income tax at this time. The government received its money from tariffs and the sale of public lands.
- The government ownership of transportation and communication
- This was a radical, socialistic idea. Populists asserted that the railroad, telephone and telegraph systems were so important that they should be owned by the people. This was seen by some as a threat to private enterprise and capitalism.
- The direct election of United States Senators
- At this time, state legislators chose senators. State legislators were susceptible to special interests. Populists asserted that allowing the people to directly vote for senators would create a government that was more responsive to the people.
- Secret ballot
- Initiative
- The imitative would give voters the right to propose legislation.
- Referendum
- The referendum would give voters the power to approve or reject a piece of legislation.
Mary Lease
The Populist Party not only had a partly radical platform but also acted boldly in its rhetoric and actions, which included having women address the public at rallies. Mary Lease, who was one of the female Populist speakers, said the government was practically owned by Wall Street and that farmers should "raise less corn and more hell."
With the threat of the "crazy" Populists looming, the two major parties ran a relatively polite campaign in 1892. The Republicans nominated incumbent Benjamin Harrison while the Democrats nominated New Yorker Grover Cleveland for a second, nonconsecutive term. Cleveland won the election, but the Populists garnered over one million votes. They carried four Midwestern states and earned twenty-two electoral votes.
Populist Difficulties
After their respectable showing in the 1892 election, the Populists believed they were on the political rise, despite the party having serious problems. In particular, the Populists struggled with the fact that their support was highly regional, coming almost entirely from the agrarian South and West. They had no support in the Northeast, where most voters and most electoral votes were located. In the South, Populists split white voters because they tried to appeal to Blacks, angering southern conservative Democrats. The Populist Party also tried to appeal to industrial workers, but unions would not align themselves with the party because of the Populists stand on free silver. Workers did not want the inflation and high prices that the unlimited coinage of silver might bring.
Panic of 1893
Coxey's Army
Cleveland took office for the second time in 1893. Within a few months, the economy collapsed and the Panic of 1893 ensued. The worst depression in United States history to that point followed, lasting four years, bankrupting thousands of businesses, and causing millions of people to lose their jobs. Although the depression was caused by multiple factors, President Cleveland blamed it on the Sherman Silver Purchase Act and the protective tariff.
Cleveland encouraged Congress to repeal the Sherman Silver Purchase Act and introduce a new tariff. These moves angered the Populists and many members of Cleveland's own Democratic party. Neither measure helped nor did the depression end. The public blamed Cleveland, and in 1894 an Ohio quarry owner named Jacob Coxey led a march of unemployed men on Washington, D.C. The "army" protested the government's refusal to help people during the depression. Coxey wanted the government to give people jobs doing public works. When they reached Capitol Hill, Coxey and his men were arrested for such crimes as trampling the grass.
Cleveland struggled through the rest of his second term, simply trying to keep law and order in the nation. He refused to take any steps to help people who were suffering. As the election of 1896 approached, farmers were furious, the nation remained in depression, and Cleveland and the Democrats were blamed. Democrats were divided and it appeared that they had little hope of winning the election.

Currently, Peru is not eligible to participate in the Diversity Visa (DV) program because of the high number (more than 50,000) of Peruvian immigrants to the United States over the previous five (5) years.
Each year, the U.S. Government compiles the immigrant admission figures for the previous five years to identify the countries that qualify to participate in the Diversity Visa program. A separate determination is made before each lottery application period, resulting in the list of countries eligible for the program. Every year several countries are not eligible to participate because they have "graduated" from the Diversity Visa program due to the large numbers of their citizens becoming Legal Permanent Residents during the previous five years.
For more information on the Diversity Visa Program, please visit Diversity Visa Program section of Travel.State.gov.
Fraud Warning
Fraudulent websites are posing as official U.S. Government sites. Some companies posing as the U.S. Government have sought money in order to "complete" DV entry forms. There is no charge to download and complete the Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form. To learn more, see the Department of State Warning and the Federal Trade Commission Warning.
The Department of State does not notify successful DV applicants by letter or email. Entrants can check the status of their entries by visiting the DV Entrant Status Check website.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
With advances in technology, pacemakers and ICDs generally last several years (depending upon usage and the type of device) and, in most cases, allow a person to lead a normal life. In addition, advances in device circuitry and insulation have reduced the interference risk from machinery, such as microwaves, which, in the past, may have altered or otherwise affected these surgically implanted cardiac devices. Even so, certain precautions must be taken into consideration when a person has a pacemaker or ICD.
The following precautions should always be considered. Discuss the following in detail with your physician:
Always consult your physician if you have any questions concerning the use of certain equipment near your pacemaker/ICD.
Once the device has been implanted, people with pacemakers/ICDs should be able to do the same activities everyone else in their age group is doing. When you have a pacemaker/ICD, you may still be able do the following:
When involved in a physical, recreational, or sporting activity, a person with a pacemaker/ICD should avoid receiving a blow to the skin over the device. A blow to the chest near the pacemaker/ICD can affect its functioning. If you do receive a blow to that area, see your physician.
Always consult your physician when you feel ill after an activity, or when you have questions about beginning a new activity.
Although your pacemaker is built to last several years, you should always have it checked regularly to ensure that it is working properly. Different physicians may have different schedules for checking devices, and some can be checked in the home using a telephone and special equipment provided by your device manufacturer.
Battery life, lead wire condition, and various functions are checked by performing a device interrogation. During an interrogation the device is connected to a computer using a magnet and a special machine.
Your physician may ask you to check your pulse rate periodically. Report any unusual symptoms or symptoms similar to those you had prior to the device insertion to your physician immediately.
Always consult your physician for more information, if needed.
The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood. Taking a pulse not only measures the heart rate, but also can indicate:
The normal pulse rate for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Girls ages 12 and older and women, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do boys and men. Athletes, such as runners, who do a lot of cardiovascular conditioning may have heart rates in the 40s and experience no problems.
As the heart forces blood through the arteries, you feel the beats by firmly pressing on the arteries, which are located close to the surface of the skin at certain points of the body. The pulse can be found on the side of the lower neck, on the inside of the elbow, or at the wrist. When taking your pulse:

Fairytale weddings, secret love children, publicity stunts… it was a good year for celebrity weddings and breakups.
Kate Middleton and Prince William
I don't need to remind you that in a fairy tale wedding turned reality, commoner Kate Middleton married Prince William on April 29 at Buckingham Palace in front of 2 billion Brits and international admirers. Middleton stunned in a princess-worthy gown designed by Sarah Burton with hand-tooled lace sleeves and a cascading satin train that caused, without a doubt, the biggest wedding fanfare of the year—and maybe the decade.

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince
Fashionistas were abuzz about supermodel Kate Moss' marriage to Kills rocker Jamie Hince last July. Moss, no stranger to the camera, released many photos of the celeb-filled ceremony which took place in a 17th century castle. The couple were decked out in high fashion, the bride in a gauzy jeweled Galliano gown and the groom in a slate Stefano Pilati suit. Moss had a few wardrobe changes, wearing a blue vintage dress (something old and blue) and a Stella McCartney suit for the honeymoon.

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth
On March 26, America's sweetheart Reese Witherspoon wed agent Jim Toth in a small ceremony at her ranch in Ojai, California after a year and a half of dating. The bride wore a custom petal pink gown designed by Monique Lhuillier with an A-line skirt and lace bodice and a train decorated with silk flowers, matching a mini version worn by Witherspoon's 11-year-old daughter Ava, the Maid of Honor.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
The media anticipation for Kim Kardashian's wedding with New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries lasted longer than their marriage; just 72 days after an over-the-top televised ceremony on August 20, Kardashian filed for divorce. Humphries is seeking an annulment as rumors fly that the entire wedding was a publicity stunt for Kardashian. The barely-a-bride's dress was by bridal favorite Vera Wang which has already inspired countless knockoffs and her jewels, including a Lorraine Schwartz diamond across-the-forehead headband, were reportedly worth $15 million.

Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars
Francis Ford Coppola walked his daughter, filmmaker Sofia Coppola, down the aisle when she married Phoenix singer Thomas Mars on August 27 in Italy. Coppola eschewed tradition by marrying in a lavender tulle dress by Azzedine Alaïa.

Michael Kors and Lance Lapere
It pays to be a fashion intern—designer and Project Runway judge Michael Kors married his in South Hampton last August. "To marry someone as wonderful and special to me as Lance barefoot on a glorious beach is more than I could have dreamed of," Kors gushed of Lapere, who he's known since he joined his company in 1990.

Leann Rimes and Eddie Cibrian
Singer Leann Rimes and actor Eddie Cibrian met on the set of a Lifetime movie, and like something out of one of their sensational flicks, fell in love—despite the fact that they were both married. Rimes dazzled in a handmade Reem Acra gown covered in pearls and Alexander McQueen shoes.

Nick Lachey is a newlywed… again. He kissed bride Vanessa Minnillo in front of 35 friends and family on a private island in July. Lachey wore a Dolce & Gabbana tux while Minnillo looked lovely in a Lhuillier dress with a pick-up skirt.

Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald
Nikki Reed's wedding to American Idol contestant Paul McDonald might have been overshadowed by another Twilight nuptial, but Reed looked gorgeous in a strapless ivory Tacori gown when the couple wed on October 16.

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger
It wasn't all "'til death do us part" among celebs this year. After 25 years of what seemed to be a happy marriage, Maria Shriver found out about Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child with the housekeeper at the same time as the press. The couple split, and the Governator has since failed to inspire any sympathy after being spotted wearing an "I survived Maria" t-shirt.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher
Divorce is difficult for anyone, but it must be especially hard when every blogger who predicted that the May-December marriage between Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher wouldn't last is able to say, "I told you so." Kutcher supposedly had an affair on the eve of his sixth wedding anniversary, and then tried to appease Moore with an expensive car. It looks like after six years of being mrskutcher on Twitter, Moore's going to have to make some changes.

The Kansas City Chiefs released Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers on Friday after reportedly being unsuccessful in trading the fan favorite before the NFL Draft last month. The team announced the move via Twitter (@KCChiefs).
Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey issued a statement on the team's web site. "We appreciate Brandon's contributions to the team over the last six seasons," Dorsey said. "It's in the best interest of the club and the player to part ways at this time. We wish him nothing but the best as he continues his career."
The move was not shocking to anyone who paid attention to signs from the front office this off-season. Despite making the Pro Bowl last year for the first time, it was evident that Flowers' skills were not the best match for Defensive Coordinator Bob Sutton's defense.
Pro Football Focus, which grades every NFL player on every play of every game during a season, was not enamored of Flowers' skills in 2013, They graded him poorly with a -5.9 score overall and a -9.8 in coverage skills. That contrasted with his performance in 2012, where Flowers received a grade of +13.7/+9.8 respectively in former head coach/defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel's scheme. Pro Football Focus also notes that Flowers played more than half his snaps in the slot in 2013, far more than at any point in his career. Prior to last year, he played almost exclusively as a left cornerback (LCB).
Rumors are circulating that perhaps the team gave Flowers a head's-up to the situation early this off-season when they selected Phillip Gaines in the third round of the draft. Whispers got louder when Flowers did not show up for the recent voluntary mini-camp, even though he took part in virtually every off-season workout throughout his career with the Chiefs.
And, to his credit, Flowers responded well to the news on his Twitter account (@BFlowers24), thanking the Chiefs and their fans for a good six years, "Just want to say thanks to the Hunt family for the 6 years in Kansas City thanks to the fans and my teammates for some great years."
But in the end, this move was as much about salary cap room as supposed diminishing skills or scheme match-ups. Flowers was set to make a base salary of $5.25 million this season, which would have made him the seventh-highest paid corner in the league. By releasing him now, the team can split the cap hit over the next two seasons, giving them more cap space to perhaps sign linebacker Justin Houston or quarterback Alex Smith to contract extensions.
However, don't feel too badly for a 28-year old cornerback with solid (at worst) cover skills that is unemployed in mid-June. Flowers now has his pick of teams to play for and with the Pro Bowl resume from last year, won't have to be cutting coupons to save some bucks anytime soon. Some team will scoop him up ASAP.
Perhaps the Atlanta Falcons – and former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli – anyone? Or, heaven forbid, the Denver Broncos or Oakland Raiders?????

Shaina Rivera put on a strong performance to rack up three titles, including the premier girls' 18-and-under crown, while John Emmanuel Estrope ruled two divisions in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional age-group tournament presented by Babolat in Sultan Kudarat last Monday.
The unranked Rivera, a 13-year-old find from Monkayo Compostela Valley, blanked top seed Lyndie Bisnar in the semis then trounced No. 2 Abegail Icoy, 5-3, 4-1, to claim the 18-and-U diadem in the four-day event put up by Philta and sponsored by Palawan Pawnshot and Technosports, distributor of Babolat.
As fifth seed, Rivera also stunned No. 1 and local ace Carlyn Bless Guarde, 5-3, 0-4, 10-7, in the 16-and-U semis then whisked off unranked Ebony Ronco, 4-0, 4-1, to clinch the crown at the Isulan Tennis Club. Rivera also took the 14-and-u crown with a 4-0, 4-2 rout of Minet Bentillo to complete an impressive three-title sweep in the tournament.
"I want to thank my sponsor Romy Chan for inviting me to train under the Philippine Tennis Academy," said Rivera, who also took the 14-and-u crown with a 4-0, 4-2 rout of Minet Bentillo to complete an impressive three-title sweep in the tournament hosted by Gov. Teng Mangudadatu.
The third seeded Estrope smothered No. 5 Eduardo Bagaforo, 4-1, 4-0, to claim the boys' 18-and-U diadem then beat unseeded Jarel Edanga via the same score in the 32-player, 16-and-U category.
Sultan Kudarat's Vince EJ Tugade, 12, also annexed two titles, repulsing Edanga, 2-4, 4-2, 10-7, in the boys' 14-and-U and stunning top seed Marc Directo, 4-2, 5-3, in the 12-and-U class.
Guarde bagged the 12-and-U title with a 4-1, 4-0 romp over Jazelle Madis while the eight-year-old Bentillo, also from Sultan Kudarat, copped the 10- unisex crown with a 4-2, 4-1 win over Ma. Angela Novis.
"Rivera's remarkable threetitle romp speaks well of our program to provide as a venue for young talents to showcase their skills and talent. For sure, there are many more young players waiting to be tapped," said Palawan Pawnshop COO Bobby Castro.

gerald green, chris paul.....
I don't really have a prediction.I am hoping Nate Robinson.
gerald green, chris paul.....
Salem Stoudemire
hey if im right im gunna look like a fricken genius
it's gunna be andrew bogut. like emeka and dwight howard last year, he's gunna be starting right away as a huge addition to the team. he's gunna get the most minutes, therefore he's gunna adjust faster than other rookies. he's gunna be a good inside player
What does the poll have to do with ROTY?
yea tru dat, plus its a no brainer.....shaq is possibly the best center in NBA HISTORY
im guessing chris paul. he'll make more of an impact than bogut because hes playing for a worse team.
its not gonna be nate cuz hes not gonna get enough minutes to put up good enough numbers.
most likely it will be bogut, but i think bogut will never be an all star, and will never really become a 20 and 10 guy. his ceiling is not very high.
maybe Illini great Deron Williams, I think he'll get some playing time, if not start.
Chris Paul hands down...and there's a rumor the Hornets may be playing home games in Puerto Rico, si I'm really hoping for the Knicks and Hornets in San Juan.
i thought memphis and miami are going to play in spain or some other country. anyway, definitely chris paul or deron williams
Deron Williams will win rookie of the year this year...that's my prediction and here's why.
Marvin won't start most likely, Frye wont start most likely, Felton will be a role player, Villenuva is in Toronto, Robinson is a back up to me it came down to three people...Bogut, Paul and Williams. Now Bogut I think will be a tool. Sits under the basket, not being strong enough and getting his only chances to score via TAP INS FROM SIMMONS, MASON AND REDD'S HACK SHOTS. He's not tough enough to do it any other way. Unless he gets dirty and also creative...especially with no ASSIST minded point guard in site, or point guard in general for that matter...Now it came down to Chris Paul and Deron Williams..and Deron won my choice because of 4 reasons...
Mehmet Okur, Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko and Gordan Giricek.
He's now THEIR leader and with players like them all he has to do it feed them the ball a few times a night to rack up the ASSISTS. Aswell as being a creative player Deron can create his own shots and drive to the lane strong like not too many else. If i remember correctly hes also a decent defender and decent is good in this league because no one plays D to start...so with components such as ASSISTS, POINTS and possibly STEALS Derron will have a good chance to win this years rookie of the year award..
The preseason game you're referring to (Memphis and Miami) will be played Oct. 14 in Puerto Rico. Had to pay $120 for each seat, which is alot for a frikin preseason game. Hopefully, Shaq, Gasol, Wade and company will all play and give us our money's worth. The fact that these teams traded players makes the game more interesting.Originally Posted by ny3nyk
its gonna be andrew bogut i bet..

As a diagnostician, the nurse at Ten's elementary school leaves something to be desired. She's the one who sent home half the school in The Great Head Lice Scare of 2008, mistaking "fuzzies" from winter hats for gnarly nits. She's the one who told my son, after he'd become ill at school, that he might have the flu, which, by the way, had killed a few children in a neighboring state within the past week.
And she's the one who believed the Stomachache Kid and made me cancel an MRI. True story.
A specialist sent me for an MRI, and after I waited more than a week for the insurance permissions and the appointment and all of that, I was finally on my way to the imaging center. Then my cell phone rang. When I saw that it was Ten's school calling, I pulled into a nearby parking lot and answered the phone.
The nurse told me that Ten had a stomachache and needed to come home. I explained where I was and said that I would try to get someone to pick him up. But Twenty, who was home for spring break that week, was not answering the house phone or his cell phone. And my neighbor, who's always home, wasn't.
It was just as well that my neighbor wasn't there; I hate to foist a child who might possibly have a stomach virus on someone else. As Marcie Dahlgren-Frost says in Uncle Buck, "You need a relative for an imposition of this size."
I was just around the corner from the imaging center, so I walked up to the appointment desk and explained my situation. Fortunately, they were very understanding and gave me a new appointment for the next week.
Then I jumped back into my car and broke the land-speed record as I headed across the county to Ten's school. I was there within twenty minutes of the first phone call. Once in the door, I entered the nurse's office, only to hear her say, "So, did you get your MRI?"
And after all that, the Stomachache Kid wasn't even sick. He's got the nurse's number, it seems, and he brings on the puppy-dog eyes and all the rest of his dramatic talent when he's had enough of school for the day. I spent the rest of that afternoon keeping him from playing backyard soccer and Nerf basketball in the family room--because that's not what you get to do when you've come home sick from school.

Back to it... again.
Sunday, January 16, 2011 2 comments
Stopped tracking last week after showing a gain. I really should not weigh in on the week after my period. I should just skip that week's weigh in and keep tracking, etc. I think I'll do that from now on. This week I'm back down to 187.8. W...

Sunday is my weigh-in day. I hope I have done well this week. I tracked every day, but there was the one incident with the Brie cheese. But one bad move does not ruin the entire week, right? I need to start exercising. Soon. Now. Toda...

It was harder to control my snacking and eating on the weekend. I skipped breakfast, ate a good lunch, but in the evening I kept wanting to snack, even though I had had a good meal. I wasn't hungry, just had an appetite. But I managed to st...

It's been three years since my last SparkPeople log in and blog post. I've gained 33 pounds in that time. So today I weighed myself, logged in, tracked my weight, and began tracking my food. I've really let the food get control of me again....

Why is it that tracking and watching the food intake is always so much easier for me than activity? I always fall off of the exercise wagon and then it takes forever to get back into the groove. It's so easy to get discouraged. I exercise r...

Appreciation For Turkish Airlines From Moldova
The Moldova Tax Office Department has presented Turkish Airlines' Moldova Management with a Privileged Partner plaque for its flawless record over the past ten years. Turkish Airlines' Moldova Manager Ahmet Tarhan accepted the award from the Head of the Kishinev Central Office, Iurue Sisianu. Sisianu said that Turkish Airlines should be an example to all firms working in Moldova.

We hear that Jivamukti China Gel ($17) doubles as a tiny topical A/C. Rub a little of this cooling gel onto the back of your neck, your arms, or the small of your back to keep cool during sweaty gym sessions, trips to the county fair, and sitting around in your hot-as-hell apartment.

The best thing about following celebrities is that, because we don't know them personally, we're free to interpret their actions any way we see fit. Take this tweet from Lady Gaga, concerning Christina Aguilera's new single, "Your Body":
@therealxtina just bought your new single. Seems the old Christina i loved has returned! Congratulations!!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) September 18, 2012
At first glance it's a nice compliment from one pop star to another. A-Listers gotta stick together!
But put it in the context of Gaga's feud with Aguilera a few years back (to refresh: "I'm not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don't know if it is a man or a woman," said Aguilera; "I think sometimes [Christina] gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out. … I miss the old Christina Aguilera," said Gaga surrogate Akon) and suddenly you can see everything in a different light.
Just like on the campaign trail, Gaga's using some dog-whistles here: "the old Christina" is code for Xtina before she, in the minds of the Germanotta camp, starting trying to bite Gaga's sound and style. Mama Monster's complimenting Christina, yes, but in the same way you'd compliment a dog for not jumping on your party guests. They'yre congratulating her on staying in her place.
Or maybe we're just imagining things. Maybe Gaga and Aguilera have put their feud behind them and this is just a harmless compliment. But a blogger can dream!

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
by E. E. Cummings
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond Introduction
In A Nutshell
No doubt, E. E. Cummings was a rebel. Even before he made his name as a poet, he was rubbing authority figures the wrong way. One famous story happened during World War I, when Cummings was volunteering as an ambulance driver in France. Cummings got annoyed with all the rules and started sending coded messages back home just to see if anybody would notice. They noticed, alright, and Cummings got locked up in an internment camp under suspicion that he might be a traitor and a spy. He actually wrote a novel about the whole experience called The Enormous Room. (Click here for more of the deets on Cummings's crazy life story.)
Cummings's wartime rabble rousing was nothing compared to what he was soon to unleash on the literary world. See, our rebel-poet was also a painter and became really inspired by Modernist art movements like Surrealism and Cubism, which exploded the rules of traditional painting. Cummings didn't see any reason why poetry couldn't recreate itself just as radically as the world of art was doing at the time. So he brewed up a signature style that thumbed its nose at traditional rules of poetry and took the form into new dimensions. Of course, you can't expect to go around breaking a bunch of rules without ticking some people off. Some critics accused Cummings of being weird for weird's sake, while others seemed to think that he just had no idea how to write a "real" poem.
Like all his other work, "somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond," first published in his collection ViVa (1931), caught flak for Cummings's experimental use of punctuation, spacing, and capitalization—all part of Cummings's signature style. The joke's on Cummings's critics, though. Whatever bad press this poem has gotten, today it's hands down one of his most popular (ranking right up there with "in Just"). It also just so happens to be one on the most beloved love poems of all time, so nyah nyah. In general, Cummings was like, "Whatevs" to his critics, standing by his work. In his own words, "Nothing measurable can be alive; nothing which is not alive can be art; nothing which cannot be art is true: and everything untrue doesn't matter a very good God damn" (Cummings, A Miscellany Revisited).
Why Should I Care?
Love is complicated. We mean really complicated. Sometimes it makes you feel awesome. Sometimes it makes you feel like something you might find at the bottom of your garbage disposal. What's amazing about " somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond" by E. E. Cummings is that it takes all the extremes of love into account and somehow finds the beauty in them. Both the highs and the lows are part of the appeal for the speaker.
Now, maybe you've never been in love (although chances are you will be someday). Even if you've never experienced romantic love, though, chances are you love something or somebody in some way. Maybe it's your parents, or a friend, or your dog, or some Zen-like mixture of yogurt and toppings at Pinkberry. No matter what it is, there're highs and lows, and this poem manages to capture the un-capturable way that there's beauty in both.
(Oh, and if you think that Pinkberry part was a stretch, then you've just never had the right combo of yogurt and delicious toppings—just sayin'.)

I have been wondering do water candles work if you place them on the floor or on the table, or if they only work if it is in your hand.
According to Terraria's official wiki page on Water Candles:
They produce light like a regular torch or candle would. If you have them on tables as props, they produce some lovely spooky lighting. However, they don't increase the spawn rate like this.
To increase the spawn rate with a water candle, hold it in your hand. It can't just be in the top row of your inventory - it must be the currently active and held item.
Keep a weapon handy so that you can swap back and forth between your water candle and weapon as necessary. You can't hold both at the same time, but you can at least run around luring enemies out with your water candle, attack them all, then return to luring enemies out.
According to the disassembled code (188.8.131.52.1), placed water candles also affect spawnrate and max spawns. This effect is separate from holding the candle in your hand and will stack with it. A single placed water candle is enough and only one matters.
Both effects are the same and when stacked (holding a candle and placed a candle) spawnrate is increased by 78% and maximum spawned enemies is increased by 125%.

Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol Awareness
New research released by The Salvation Army as part of its 2009 Alcohol Awareness campaign reveals that 2.3 million Australians had their first alcoholic sip or drink when they were just 10 years old or younger, and 12.1 million Australians are not aware of the new national guidelines on alcohol which indicate that for 15 to 17 year olds, the safest option is to delay the initiation of drinking for as long as possible.
The new research also shows:
Research by White and Hayman carried out in 2007 found rates of drinking at harmful levels by 12-17 year olds has doubled in the past two decades. It was estimated by NDARC (the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre) in 2008 that Australia's under-age drinkers consume more than 175 million drinks a year.
Statistics now show alcohol accounts for 13% of all deaths of 14-17 year olds in Australia with one teenager dying each week of alcohol related causes and another 60 teenagers hospitalised.
The lifetime risk of harm from drinking alcohol increases with the amount consumed.
For healthy men and women, drinking no more than two standard drinks on any day reduces the lifetime risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury.
On a single occasion of drinking, the risk of alcohol-related injury increases with the amount consumed.
For healthy men and women, drinking no more than four standard drinks on a single occasion reduces the risk of alcohol-related injury arising from that occasion.
For children and young people under 18 years of age, not drinking alcohol is the safest option.
A. Parents and carers should be advised that children under 15 years of age are at the greatest risk of harm from drinking and that for this age group, not drinking alcohol is especially important.
B. For young people aged 15−17 years, the safest option is to delay the initiation of drinking for as long as possible.
Maternal alcohol consumption can harm the developing fetus or breastfeeding baby.
A. For women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, not drinking is the safest option.
B. For women who are breastfeeding, not drinking is the safest option.
National Health and Medical Research Council
Previous research by The Salvation Army revealed that 4.3 million people (25%) say alcohol has had a negative impact on them or their family and that more than two million people report children being embarrassed or scared as a result of alcohol consumption within their family and close to two million people have experienced physical arguments or threats as a result of alcohol consumption within their family.
The Salvation Army is not an anti-alcohol. Rather, it seeks to highlight the huge negative impact alcohol abuse and misuse is having on Australian families and the community.
