What possessed Angelina Jolie to call her adoptive children Maddox and Zahara? How weird is it that the popularity of the name Alfie fluctuates with the ratings of EastEnders? What, apart from lack of imagination, possessed George Foreman to call all his five sons George (and his daughters Georgetta and Freeda George)? Can it be true that babies in the American Midwest are routinely named after shops, like Armani and Timberland?
Things are getting a little screwy in the baby-naming marketplace. No longer are we content with the Jacks and Emmas, the Toms and Emilys, of yesteryear. Inspired by the ludicrous excesses of pop, football and movie celebrity, we have silently written the ancient commandment, Thou Shalt Not Embarrass Thy Kids By Saddling Them With a Crap Name. Now, you cannot move for Apples and Xerxeses, Raffertys and Clytemnestras, Peaches, Rainbows and Daisy Boos.
Somebody must call a halt to this. In the US, Joe Borgenicht's book, What Not to Name Your Baby, has become a runaway bestseller. It's a spoof on the wilder shores of modern nomenclature, but its success shows that parents are concerned about scarring their babes for life with the wrong name.
We share their concern. Here's a checklist, for the modern British parent, of names that are uncool, unacceptable or carry the wrong subliminal message.
Adolf Inexplicably plummeted in popularity in UK after 1938.
Ashton Suggests unfeasibly handsome but smug young git, pulling faces with dim squeeze in Photo-Me booth.
Beauregard Means "good-looking" in French. Shortened to Beau. Unwise to land this on your child if you are Mr and Mrs Tye, Peep or Ling-Green.
Benedict Acquired a certain cachet after it was adopted by the Pope. Means "well-spoken" in Latin. But what if your child grows up a shy, tongue-tied recluse? Makes you think, eh?
Benito Ben not good enough for you? You have to saddle the kid with the memory of Italian dictator, jutting jaw, comical delivery and (the last photo) meat-hook through guts?
Bingo Returning to popularity because of renewed interest in PG Wodehouse and Bingo Little. May encourage playground cries of "House!" and "Two Fat Ladies!"
Brooklyn Was your kid conceived in New York? No. You were in Croydon. Stop fooling yourselves.
Bono Don't even try it, mister. There's only one feckin' Bono and there always will be. (Sings) "I got pride in the name I got..."
Bonzo It's a dog, OK? A cartoon puppy, invented by the Sketch in 1922. It's not cute. It's not human. It's not a good idea.
Brian As in Life of Brian. The kid will be a figure of fun. Also associated with football, due to popularity among managers (Clough), players (Robson; the "y" variant) and commentators (Moore).
Cruz Hmmm. A boy's name. Yet he will be doomed to hear, "What? As in Penelope?"
Freddie Flintoff and Ljungberg have made it too popular. Stand outside any private school in London, shout "Freddie" and watch them galloping by like a herd of wildebeest.
Jenson Whizzy, fast-paced, go-getting name, which also suggests clapped-out, overpriced 1970s babe-magnet driven by onanists from Woking.
Jesus Pronounced "hay-soose". May lead to attack of monomania in his 30s. Strong possibility of Messiah Complex.
John Excellent name. Suggests a chap who is brave, enterprising, rich, ruggedly handsome, sexually dynamic and amazingly cool. Unfortunately, also means "toilet" in US. Unfortunately, also common as muck.
John Paul Catholics will be impressed. Everyone else will think of wizened Polish octogenarian painfully contorted on throne, struggling to hold conversation with Mick Hucknall
Jordan Remember Jordan Chandler, playmate of Michael Jackson? There used to be several male Jordans around. But no longer. I wonder why that is.
Justin Not a happy choice. Too many small-penis jokes ("I'm not sure, darling, but I think it's just in"). Also, dubious role-model of that chap in The Darkness
KayCee Unless you can guarantee he'll want to do a little dance, make a little love and get down tonight, it's best avoided.
Leonardo Once a proud homage to Renaissance artistic genius and inventor. Discredited by publication of The Da Vinci Code, the name's now more associated with pug-faced brat drowning in freezing Atlantic.
Leslie Androgynous and indefinably creepy. Shortened version even worse: see L Dennis, Sir L Patterson.
Maximilian Why don't you just call him Enormous Loadsamoney and have done with it?
Mohammed Name of great Arabian prophet (570-632) is in Top 20 boys' names in the UK. Probably asking for trouble if you and his mother are white Caucasian Protestants (see also Buddha, Yahweh, Shiva, Beelzebub etc).
Monty Instantly conjures up three looming shadows: yappy-voiced field marshal, elderly TV comedy and fat predatory filmic uncle. Like the Spanish Inquisition sketch, a little too effortfully wacky.
Osama Not really the name you want yelled out in the playground at Dulwich Hamlet Mixed Infants Academy.
Prince A well-born youth. One who aspires to kingship. The heir to greatness. But also means tiny purple-clad rock guitarist formerly known by a squiggle.
Rebel Name chosen by Sin City director Robert Rodriguez for one of his four sons. Virtually guarantees child will grow into bald loss-adjuster in rayon suit with home in Chipping Norton (see also Rocket, Rogue and Racer).
River Classic dreamy-hippie choice, along with Leaf, Sunlight etc. Ignores fact that most rivers are noisome, dangerous waterways full of burger cartons, raw sewage and supermarket trollies (see also Estuary, Harbour, Dockyard Doris).
Romeo You think it's romantic to call the baby after teenage Veronese roughneck who sleeps with 13-year-old and poisons himself? Oh-kay... And think of those conversations: "I'm Romeo." "But Romeo, why art thou Romeo?" etc.
Rufus Forget your admiration for Mr Wainwright. Do you expect your son to have a red face? Red hair? Do you expect him to grow a red beard? So why give him a name that means "red-looking"?
Satchel As Woody and Mia called their son, in tribute to Louis Armstrong. Fatally associated with schoolbags, though.
Science Be my guest, but don't blame me when he spends his life wholly unable to understand Boyle's Second Law of Thermodynamics. (See also Geography, Trigonometry, Applied Maths etc).
Stuart Which Stuart king would you like him to emulate? The one pushed around by his boyfriend? The one who got his head chopped off? The one who shagged freelance fruit-sellers?
Travis He'll spend his formative years with hair gelled into a Hoxton fin, with some very drippy songs washing round his head.
Tudor Not a good period for male role models. Either neurasthenic weeds or syphilitic monsters with six wives.
Tyler Named after the architect of the Peasant's Revolt, the editor of Wallpaper* magazine or the shadowy anarchist of Fight Club? Fatally associated with grouting.
Ziggy You're stuck in a timewarp, eternally orbiting the summer of 1972 with David Bowie's doomed alter ego. At school, your son will rapidly become Piggy.
Apple What were Chris and Gwyneth thinking? Apples are full of negative qualities - hard cores, thin skins, giving people the pip... Will be forever associated with trendy Sixties shop that went spectacularly bust.
Bina The lovely-but-miserable heroine in Madonna's first book, The English Roses. "Beaner" unfortunately also school slang for whack on the head.
Bona St Bona of Pisa, a 12th-century pilgrim, was canonised in 1962 by Pope Paul XXIII as patron saint of air hostesses. Bit close to US slang for a hard-on, and UK gay theatre-speak for "good".
Candida Yes, GB Shaw wrote a
play about a lady of that name. Yes, it's Latin for white, and therefore pristine. Yep, it's the female of Candide. But there's no getting past the intimate itching problem. See also Chlamydia.
Cassandra Rodney's nice girlfriend in Only Fools and Horses. But believe it or not, there's an earlier Cassandra, daughter of Priam, king of Troy. Apollo gave her the gift of prophesy but not of being believed - hence, a shrill doom-merchant to whom no one pays attention.
Chardonnay Over-produced grape variety, making popular but bland white wine with disgusting undertaste of buttered biscuit.
Cirrhosis I know it sounds nice. I know it's got "rose" in there somewhere. But will draw attention to size and hue of your daughter's liver.
Clementine Fine, provided it's pronounced "tyne" not "teen". Your charming child is not a satsuma.
Concepta We know she was conceived. We know it was you who conceived her. Jolly well done. Stop bragging about it.
Daisy Boo Leave it out. Do me a favour. Of all the bleedin' nerve. Sling your hook. Know what I mean?
Desdemona Othello's "white-ewe" babe and wife, strangled in Act V. Interestingly, an anagram of "de mean sod".
Dido Aeneas's wife and queen of Carthage in Virgil's epic. You know she killed herself, don't you? And "to act dido" means to play the fool. Also name of narcolepsis-inducing singer. Not a terrific pedigree.
Elodea Popular in Barnes-Richmond area. Apparently the name of Canadian marsh-weed. Can't, however, escape the fact that it sounds like Jamaican greeting.
Goneril Unlikely to be benevolent and caring offspring in your dotage. Also, carries whiff of sexually transmitted disease.
Ikea Very flat, hard to make anything of, and comes with baffling instructions. Also, carries faint pong of Swedish meatballs. There'll be enormous queues to enter her at midnight.
Imogen Sounds fine at first, but unfortunately redolent of both gin and Immac depilation cream. Also, makes people wander off humming "Imogen there's no heaven..."
Jordan There's Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby, of course, and that Middle Eastern country with Queen Noor and... Nope, can't think of a thing wrong with this one.
Keira Charming, delightful, bright-eyed, clear-complexioned, Home Counties name which everybody, from Vogue magazine downwards, will spell wrong
Kerry Name of terrier dog with silky blueish coat. Also, Irish county with supposedly thickest inhabitants. (How do you tell the Kerryman on an Irish oil rig? He's the one throwing bread to the helicopters.)
Kylie I'm sorry, but your daughter just won't have the arse to go with it.
LooLoo You can picture her, can't you - wacky, zany, Lambrini-drinking madcap who always ends the night voiding her stomach in the eponymous lavabo.
Paris It's all pissoirs, honking Citroëns and menacing Algerians, isn't it? Although lately eclipsed by dim hotel heiress keen on ad hoc film-making.
Poppy One of several floral, Victorian serving-wench names back in vogue among younger daughters of Chelsea swells. See also Daisy, Ivy, Rosie.
Regan Keen on putting people's eyes out. Older acquaintances will confuse name with John Thaw's gravelly cop in The Sweeney.
Roxie Roxie Hart, currently played by Brooke Shields in Chicago in the West End. Go ahead, provided you don't mind your daughter being called after a murderess and a fleapit New York cinema.
Scarlett Think Johansson. Mmm. Think O'Hara. Mmmm-hmm. But think also Captain Scarlet, Will Scarlett as in Robin Hood, and scarlet woman in Book of Revelations.
Sienna Once meant "famous Tuscan city with magnificent Duomo". Then meant "burnt brown pigment". Now means only "peasant-skirted actress duped by love rat".

Contrary to reports by an online news platform which reported that the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has stepped down from his position as a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the VP has responded to the insinuation describing it as 'misleading and baseless'.
The VP responded to the report through a statement released on Wednesday by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant-Media & Publicity to the Vice President in a bid to clear the air on the misleading report.
"Our attention has been drawn to a false publication by a certain online medium, IGBERETV, to the effect that Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has resigned as a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
"The report is misleading and completely baseless. Prof. Osinbajo continues to serve as a Pastor in the RCCG, honouring the call of God on his life.
"He is in fact the Pastor-in-Charge of RCCG Lagos Province 48, a position he has held in the past three years and in which he continues to serve.
"This completely fabricated report should be ignored and disregarded in its entirety." The statement read in full.

Resumable.js (GitHub: 23 / resumable.js, License: MIT) from 23 is a library for managing concurrent and resumable uploads using the HTML5 File API:
The library is designed to introduce fault-tolerance into the upload of large files through HTTP. This is done by splitting each files into small chunks; whenever the upload of a chunk fails, uploading is retried until the procedure completes. This allows uploads to automatically resume uploading after a network connection is lost either locally or to the server.
Since the File API has limited support, the author's example should degrade:
var r = new Resumable({
target: '/api/photo/redeem-upload-token',
query: { upload_token:'my_token' }
// Resumable.js isn't supported, fall back on a different method
if (!r.support) location.href = '/old-uploader';
Resumable.js's API is event based, and events include
fileSuccess, and
To implement the server-side part of this, the state of uploaded chunks should be managed. The documentation notes that on unstable networks the same chunk may be uploaded more than once, so appropriate HTTP status codes should be returned as chunks are received.

An Apple For The Teacher
the cake was for a teacher of course, the board is foam covered with fondant to imitate a school desk (well the way they look when I was in school) and I was able to run a dowel all the way in the apple and foam board to secure it. everything of the rest is edible , the pencil, the sheet paper... I used the ball pan plus one 6" in the middle and did a little carving. It gave me a hard time with the bottom of the apple it was not perfect so I had to put a ribbon to cover up the problem. thanks for looking!

Game Central Station

Game Central Station is a place in the 2012 Disney animated film Wreck-It Ralph where all the video game characters come outside their respective games and travel to other games to hang out after hours until the arcade opens in the morning. Any suspicious characters are given security checks by the Surge Protectors. It resembles a gigantic underground subway station on the interior, but on the exterior, it is the power strip for most of the arcade cabinets in Litwak's Arcade.
Places of Interest
- Pac-Man: Where the weekly Bad-Anon support group meetings are held and where Pacman and the 4 ghosts live.
- Fix-It Felix Jr.: Where Wreck-It Ralph, Fix-It Felix, Jr., and the Nicelanders live.
- Tapper's: The bar game where Ralph frequently goes to get a drink and chat with the bartender, Tapper. Ryu is seen here alone, in spite of Ken agreeing to go along at the start of the movie. The game is actually Root Beer Tapper, and not the original Tapper in spite of the barkeeper being there instead of the soda jerk. This may be due to the movie's age rating, licensing issues with Budweiser, or both.
- Hero's Duty: The first-person action game where Sergeant Calhoun and her soldiers live.
- Sugar Rush: The Kart Racing game where Vanellope von Schweetz and the other racers live.

- The station can plug in/support up to 24 games.
- The tunnels that connect the Station to each game gate resembles the interior of electric cables.

Please allow me to correct some misconceptions about Catholic Truth, which found their way into your article ' Psychological tests for priests to screen out homosexuals' (8 November 2008).
Unfortunately, our efforts to establish the extent of homosexuality within the Catholic Church in Scotland have been widely misrepresented in a variety of reports on the internet, perpetuating the notion that I am running a one-woman crusade against 'gay' priests. It is unfair and inaccurate to describe me as "waging a campaign dedicated to the exposure of homosexual priests". Nothing could be further from the truth.
In ten years of publishing our bi-monthly newsletter, only two editions have named priests in connection with homosexuality – that is,only around 3% of our reports have focused on this moral issue and only one edition reported the results of our campaign. The same editions carried reports of a priest involved in an affair with a married woman. This is hardly a 'crusade' against 'gay' priests although it should come as no surprise that Catholic Truth is unpopular with those priests who are living double lives. Contrary to the impression given by your report, however, we do have the support of other priests, some of whom have passed information to us because they, like our lay sources, are scandalised by the infidelity of those priests purporting to live a celibate life while engaging in affairs, either with men or women.
The fact is, however, that while we have reported on double-living among the clergy, the bulk of our work involves assessing the crisis of Faith as it affects the Church in Scotland. More often than not, our reports and articles feature matters of a religious and spiritual nature. It is a caricature to depict Catholic Truth as a 'homophobic' publication.
It is also a caricature to portray me as "reclusive" when I am, by nature, gregarious and enjoy a very full social life. Nor is the newsletter a "one-woman" enterprise. The newsletter team comprises a secretary, treasurer. media officer/adviser and a number of researchers and writers, all of whom assist me in producing the newsletter.
Furthermore, there is no basis for the claim that the Archdiocese of Glasgow has accused me of 'harassment'. The fact is that we were not popular with the Archbishop at the time of our campaign because none of the cases we reported were "news". This makes us guilty of being something of a thorn in the flesh to the Archdiocese but we have never been accused of 'harassment' by anyone with authority to speak for the Archbishop.
I trust that the above clarifications will go some way to dispelling some of the errors and myths surrounding the work of the Catholic Truth newsletter, reflected in your report. While we include coverage of sexual immorality and clerical double-living within the Church, our newsletter is primarily focused on the much more broad-based work of contributing to the restoration of traditional Catholicism in Scotland.

Selecting the Sword
He didn't say anything more, continuing to drag her through the unfamiliar twists and turns of the palace. Before she could retort at him with something, the two swerved around the corner and were met by the fantastic view of the room in front of them.
Armory, weapons of many sorts including daggers, longbows, and swords, were all arranged around the room just waiting to be used by the next person who went into duel. Adrian didn't give Zahra the time to admire the view though. Instead, he let go of her hand and walked in himself, looking through the different displays of swords.
"You need a strong one that could be used best in defensive attacks. That's what Alexander does, he specializes in attacking the opponent more than defending himself. Hence, his major weak point is a good opponent who can bear the blow. And you need a sword that should be able to do that, but also aim to swing at the lower half of his body. His base is quite unsettled during the play, and the best way to start attacking him is aiming for his knees or legs and swiping at them. That's an easy way to get the gameplay into your hands."
Zahra raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Now you're letting out trade secrets?"
Adrian pursed his lips then whispered tightly, knowing he was breaking the rules in one way or another, "Simply informing you."
Zahra stepped forward, taking her side by him as her eyes raked over the various swords in front of her. She smiled at the thought of using one of them and ultimately defeating the Prince, having her way at the end. Yet she knew it was much easier imagined than actually carried out.
"Aha. This will work."
Adrian reached forward with his good arm, knowing by now which moves hurt his still painfully injured shoulder and which didn't. His hand wrapped around the strong handle of the sword, drawing it out. The setting rays of the sun glinted off the shining surface of the sword, giving it a magnificent, if not majestic, tint.
"The iron longsword," Adrian proudly presented with a grin.
"Is this what you use against him?" Zahra asked, eyes not wavering from the beauty of the weapon.
"Yes. But I'll warn you, it's rather heavy when holding it. I'm not sure if a woman can handle it. Besides, I'm not even sure if you're ready an-"
Before he could finish the sentence, Zahra grabbed the sword, tugging it forcedly out of his own grip. Then, she started to swing it around in a boastful manner, trying to show Adrian her full potential in the basic warm-up exercises she'd once taken herself. Finally, she brandished the sword, the peak of it lingering near his forehead.
"Still think I'm unprepared?"
Adrian didn't answer that but instead replied, "It's going to take more than a few twirls and thrusts to win."
"I know. But I can do it." The confidence in her voice almost convinced Adrian but he knew there was yet more to learn.
"We'll see."

The Adjustment Bureau Reviews
The age old quandary of human purpose, told with a modern twist, in screenwriter turned director George Nolfi's superb adaptation of Phillip K. Dick
It taps into your longing for the days when a sci-fi matrix could explain the world without making it a darker place.
Whether running or kissing or running and kissing (well, almost), Mr. Damon and Ms. Blunt turn romance into a palpable race.
This mind-meld of sci-fi thriller, morality play and passionate romance is worth seeing, mostly for the palpable chemistry between the lead actors.
A smart, stylish thriller that melds science fiction, romance and Hitchcock-ian intrigue with surprising ease.
Whether this movie works for you largely depends on whether you're willing to work for it. To which I say: Bring your gym clothes.
Two movies for the price of one, though only one of them -- a fragmented romance within a ponderous parable -- qualifies as a bargain.
A thoughtful and thought-provoking romance with a touch of the fantastic.
...the over-explained softened edges of the story turn what could have been an exceptional brain-bender into a good, but fairly standard-issue heart-warmer.
It's too bad that "The Adjustment Bureau" is so flimsy, because Dick, as always, had a provocative idea, a pointed query about the role of chance in our lives.
"The Adjustment Bureau" is a smart and good movie that could have been a great one if it had a little more daring.
Nolfi's movie works on an interesting scale and a disarmingly gentle spirit, even though it's being sold as a hard-charging romantic thriller. I like it; I hope it finds an audience.
The premise is so mind-boggling and fraught with implications that it tends to obviate the action mechanics of the last couple reels.
A lively premise turned into an inert and uninsistent film by screenwriter and rookie director George Nolfi.
The film bristles with the sort of contrivances that could incite derisive snickers. Yet it moves with such brisk self-assurance that the chuckles arrive only at a few comedic rest stops.
It's hard to imagine a more spectacularly silly film making it to theaters this year than The Adjustment Bureau.
The on-screen pairing of Matt Damon and Emily Blunt is so winning that you may be willing to overlook the oddly modulating tone of the story that brings them together and then tries to keep them apart.
Mr. Nolfi, who is also making his debut as a director, is another unfortunate Christopher Nolan wannabe, so the movie is a preposterous muddle that borrows heavily from Inception, without a single original idea.
Questions of predestination and free will are intriguingly posed and clunkily answered in The Adjustment Bureau.

Places to drink all day
Start tippling and stay awhile.
Mon Mar 21 2011
Like the appearance of spring's first robin, the sight of tables and lawn chairs outside this Carroll Gardens fave is a sure sign that lazy, laid-back afternoons are once again on the way. Order a basket of pulled pork ($8) and cheese fries ($6) or nachos ($7) while kicking everyone's ass at Connect Four, refilling often with pints of Brooklyn Lager ($5). When temperatures drop in the evening, move your gang inside and park on one of the well-loved, mismatched couches, and continue to party into the wee hours. 442 Court St at 3rd Pl (718-522-6900). Daily 11am--4am.
Blind Tiger Ale House
The menu at Blind Tiger—an eclectic hideaway on a trendy stretch of Bleecker Street—is what makes it a blue-ribbon standard for all-day drinking. Choose from 30-plus varieties of American-craft, Belgian and cask ale on tap. People-watch through the tall windows while nursing a Nebraska IPA ($6.50). Snag a table early—and order bowl of beanless boar chili ($9)—for a calm, casual afternoon before the evening revelers descend. 281 Bleecker St at Jones St (212-462-4682, blindtigeralehouse.com). Daily 11:30am--4am.
Indian Road Caf
If you can't escape the city for the weekend, this rustic bar and caf at the tip of Manhattan is the right place to spend the day pretending the Adirondacks are right outside the door. A straight-from-the-garden Hudson Valley vibe pervades the locavore-centric food-and-drink menus, featuring specialties like sausages from Vincent's Meat Market on Arthur Avenue; Kingston, New York's Keegan Brewery Hurricane Kitty IPA ($6); and Hudson Baby bourbon ($20) from Tuthilltown Spirits. The longer you relax at this earnestly welcoming spot, the harder it becomes to rejoin urban life. 600 W 218th St at Indian Rd (212-942-7451, indianroadcafe.com). Mon--Thu, 7am--10:30pm, Fri--Sat 7am--11:30pm, Sun 8am--10pm.
The well-shaded biergarten in the back is a day-drinking mecca, lined with communal wood tables that provide ample opportunity to chat up strangers. A dozen German drafts are served in bulky liter steins ($12--$16), though slower drinkers might sip their way through a beer flight ($30). If you're at a loss for what to order, try the signature Gaffel Klsch, a light and hoppy brew served in a traditional 0.2-liter glass ($3). It goes down especially smooth on spring weekends, when the tightly packed garden stays buzzing throughout the day and night. 7 Rivington St between Bowery and Chrystie St (212-253-7077, loreleynyc.com). Mon--Thu, Sun noon--2am; Fri--Sat noon--4am.
Mission Dolores
Wait, an industrial stretch of Fourth Avenue isn't your ideal location for a gorgeous, alcohol-soaked afternoon? It doesn't matter; after a few pints at this airy, converted auto shop, you won't want to leave. During happy hour, all beers are $1 off and pitchers of Yuengling or Genesee are $10 (Mon--Thu 4--7pm, Fri 2--7pm)—or spring for a craft beer on tap (most usually $5--$8). Keep yourself occupied by playing Indiana Jones pinball, listening to Jay Reatard on the jukebox and eating tacos from Oaxaca across the street. 249 Fourth Ave between Carroll and President Sts, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-399-0099, missiondoloresbar.com). Mon--Thu 4pm--4am, Fri--Sun 2pm--4am.
The Randolph at Broome
Ease your way into a hazy-afternoon bender at this easygoing cocktail hub, which pours cups of Intelligentsia and Oslo coffee (pour-over or press-pot $4, augmented coffee $7) beginning in the early-morning hours. Come 11am, you can move on to the strong stuff. Give the Old College Try ($14), a smooth rum-and-cream concoction, a whirl—while relaxing amid the retro decor. Keep your wits about you by snacking on PBJs with bacon and jalapeo jelly ($3): You don't want to miss the daily happy hour (until 8pm), when every cocktail is half off. 349 Broome St between Bowery and Elizabeth St (212-274-0667, randolphnyc.com). Mon--Fri 7am--4am; Sat, Sun 8am--4am.

Foreign coaches have long been mistrusted in the Bundesliga and this week one Ausländer was shown the door while the employers of the only other plying his trade in Germany made it crystal clear that his future was in real doubt.
Steve McClaren, the first Englishman to coach a Bundesliga club, was fired on Monday after an awful run of results that sees Wolfsburg just a point off a relegation play-off spot.
The former England manager had a bizarre, but entirely appropriate, end to his six months in charge of Die Wölfe.
Losing 1-0 at Hannover last Saturday, McClaren's men won a late penalty. A player McClaren never wanted to buy, Diego, grabbed the ball off another recruit that McClaren had serious doubts about signing, Patrick Helmes.
Helmes is the team's designated penalty taker but Diego insisted he should take the spot-kick: the Brazilian struck the crossbar and the 2009 Bundesliga champions lost the match. The miss cost the Brazilian 100,000 euros (£84,500) and McClaren his job.
"It drives me crazy when players don't listen to the orders I give and overrule my decisions," said a coach who had clearly lost the dressing room.
When he arrived in Lower Saxony last summer, McClaren did his best to endear himself to the German press, referring to himself as ''The Trainer'' and calling his first opponents ''Bayern München.''
Relations were cordial but there were deep doubts about McClaren's ability to follow up his success in Netherlands.
The day after his appointment Karl-Heinz Korbel, the man who holds the record for the most Bundesliga appearances, was asked what he thought of the Englishman.
"McClaren does not know anything about the German league" was his response.
Wilkommen to Germany.
Enough was enough after defeat at unfashionable Hannover.
"We cannot underestimate our situation in the league," said Wolfsburg General Manager Dieter Hoeness. "Being only one point clear of the relegation zone, we are alarmed."
McClaren started the season targeting a top five finish but was axed after just six months. A pay-off of the rest of his 6 million euro (£5.07m) contract will help ease the pain.
As Wolfsburg were losing at Hannover, Bayern Munich's defence was collapsing at Cologne. After leading their relegation-threatened rivals 2-0 at the break, a 3-2 defeat surely ended any title aspirations for coach Louis van Gaal.
Dieter Hoeness' big brother Uli is van Gaal's boss at Bayern and sent out a chilling warning to the Dutchman.
"If I see our Champions League qualification in danger, I get very nervous," he said.
It's not an empty threat: Jurgen Klinsmann was fired when Bayern risked missing out on a top three spot in 2009.
Bayern laid down the law on foreign coaches after Giovanni Trapattoni's ill-fated second spell at the club. The Italian's now legendary press conference, in broken German which would have embarrassed McClaren, convinced the club that a high level of German was a must.
That was never a problem for van Gaal, who isolated himself in a German monastery to learn the language of Goethe.
But now van Gaal's job is on the line for another reason.
Bayern's defence simply crumbled against Cologne, a team that had the Bundesliga's worst attack at the start of play. The defending of Holger Badstuber and Anatoliy Tymoschuk was laughable in any language and van Gaal's decision to offload midfield enforcer Marc van Bommel to AC Milan already looks like a serious error of judgement. Players don't seem to know which way to turn.
"We came out like sleeping tablets after the break," said midfielder Thomas Mueller. "We're destroying our whole season that way."
More worryingly for van Gaal's future, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wrote off his chances of retaining the title.
"It is more than annoying, it is careless. They must be slowly laughing themselves to death in Dortmund."
So plenty of amusement in Dortmund. For now, football is no laughing matter for the Hoeness brothers.

Scarecrow: Hostage
I carried Dani into the study and Foster followed, covering me. We found Beth there, staring in wide eyed horror at a computer screen. "What is it?" I put Dani down gently on the sofa in there and spun the screen around to face me.
"DAMMIT" I slammed my hand into the desk and Foster came up behind me, resting his hand on my shoulder. He looked at the picture on the screen and drew his breath in quickly, "Well I'll be damned." he whispered.
"He went to get Richards." Beth's voice shook as she spoke.
Jagan Cover sat blindfolded in a chair, his hands tied behind his back while a masked man aimed a gun at his head. The computer beeped and a message popped up in a separate window.
Thirty minutes at the abandoned factory Scarecrow. Bring Danielle. Other then that, come alone, or he dies.
I turned and punched the wall angrily. "Dammit Cover why didn't you obey the rules of backup?!" I shouted angrily. Dani stirred, her eyes flickered open and she sat up. "What's going on?" she caught sight of the computer screen and walked over. "Nothing, nothing Dani." I jumped in front of it but she pushed me aside and stared at Jagan and the message.
"Right then" she said through gritted teeth. "Let's go." She looked up at me and my stomach gave a guilty twinge. "I'm supposed to be protecting you, not putting you in the line of fire." I put my hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. I saw fear but also anger and hurt. She was angry and hurt that her father would do this to her. I understood then, it was something she had to do. "Ok" I nodded. "But I'm ignoring the going solo thing, these two can come with us, just a different way." Dani nodded and walked out of the room with Beth close behind.
Foster was still mad. I could tell from the look in his eye. "Just one thing mate" I whispered as I walked past him after Dani and Beth. "Find out why he did it before you shoot him." Foster gave a small nod and I knew that was the best I was going to get. I sighed and walked out the door. Action time.
I left Foster and Beth to take the underground route and Dani and I took the car. I knew we were being watched so I made a big show of it, opening the door for her and the whole shebang. I wanted Daddy to know that I knew he was watching my and that I was looking after his princess just like he asked me to, not that she was his princess anymore. She was possibly his worst enemy now bar me and Foster.
I laughed as I got in the car and Dani just looked at me. If only she knew what I was thinking. Suddenly I decided to tell her and she laughed with me. As the two of us drove down the road we suddenly erupted into a fit of giggles and I struggled to keep a straight face as she doubled up in laughter and tears ran down her face.
After a few minutes we were sombre again and I glanced over at her. "Fell better?" I asked. "Yeah thanks Crow." she smiled for the briefest of moments and I got edgy. "You do know the risk you're taking?" I asked her gently. "Yeah I know, I just wont let my... Mr. Richards do this to a fellow team member." her face was pale but her voice was firm and I knew she understood what she was doing.
I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel. "You remember the plan?"
"We get out, I talk, you scope, we both try to keep attention on us so that Beth and Foster can get to Jagan."
"Atta girl, we'll make a real SCIT soldier of you in no time, medals and all."
She blushed and looked out the window. Well, at least she has some colour back in her cheeks. I gripped the steering wheel tightly. It didn't feel right, I felt like I was being a traitor by bringing her to them. Something smelt wrong about the whole thing.

Hollywood Taps Religious Work For New Reality Shows
In the time-honored attempt to create copycats of a good show concept, Hollywood is mining the fields of religious discernment and evangelization.
A&E's new reality show God or the Girl--about four men discerning whether to persue the call to the Roman Catholic priesthood--is generating a lot of "holy buzz," according to entertainment insider Raina Townsend. "People are pitching RBCN* some great ideas, and we think at least a couple will become quality shows. Good for the younger set too." (See picture, left.)
This reporter heard that the three most promising options include one called Mission Possible, a combination of the granddaddy of reality TV, Survivor, and gritty reality of evangelical missions. Townsend said, "This show would place the twelve evangelists in a difficult, remote mission field--say, gang infested urban America--living in simple community, inspired by Acts 4:32. And instead of getting voted off one by one each day, they would have to bring someone into the fold, of his or her own free will, each day. First one who gains fourteen souls in two weeks wins. We need to work the kinks out of this pitch, but I like it--lots of potential for drama, with all those sinners trying to share things in common. I think America will have never seen anything like this before; there's that curiosity factor going for it."
Project Liturgy is another potential hit. "Wowee, those new liturgists can really kick it up a notch," admired Townsend, "and they're a competitive bunch. They'll get challenged in all sorts of ways--different liturgies to coordinate, like a Mass, an Office, or a Christian Seder. We'll throw in the priest who can't chant, the missing chalice and chasible, and then the lector who starts throwing up just before reading to mix it up a bit, test them under fire. For sweeps we may have these newbie liturgists negotiate a showdown between the liturgical dance group and the local bishop. It will be electrifying, 'must-see' TV."
The Amazing Grace Race will be much like the show of similar name, but working off St. Paul's metaphor for the Christian life, 'running the race' (Gal 2:2). Townsend effused, "The idea is to get different prayer teams racing around the world to Rome; the winner gains $100,000 for their favorite charity. They get stopped along the way by various challenges: here's a destitute woman and child begging in the street. Do you give them what's left of your money, or have dinner yourself that night? And imagine all them racing up to St. Peter's Square in all that Rome traffic! That's worth the series in itself."

Claud A. Hatcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Claude A. Hatcher)
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (July 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Claud Adkins Hatcher (20 August 1876 – 31 December 1933) invented RC (Royal Crown) beverages. He was a Columbus, Georgia pharmacist and son of a grocer.
Through the family-owned Hatcher Grocery Company, Hatcher introduced a cola drink in 1905 called Royal Crown Ginger Ale. In the same year a company was formed to bottle the popular drinks, Union Bottling Works.
Hatcher is buried in the Riverdale Cemetery in Muscogee County, Georgia. His will established the Pickett & Hatcher Educational Fund, a non-profit student lender.

Check out this article posted yesterday in the Huffington Post's "World" section:
He's German Nobel literature laureate Guenter Grass, who is 84 years old. He also happened to have been in the Waffen-SS, if you care about such things. And basically what he said was that he didn't like Germany selling Israel nuclear submarines, and that Israel is endangering "the already fragile world peace." Of course, I'm not sure if he has noticed but the world isn't exactly at peace right now.
This story just goes to show, though, that the Huffington Post will give a headline to literally anyone as long as they are bashing Israel.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Okay to start with I probably have no chance. My last Marathon was 4 hours 15. Not fantastic but not bad.
I was however thinking that in 2012 I will be 34 and wanted to know what the process would be to compete in the Marathon at the olympics.
The obvious one is get a lot faster. But even if I was fast enough how would I qualify. Do you have to do a certain number of races? If so which ones?
As I say I am not delusional but was curious what someone would have to do.
A lot of work.
Local guy to me as we speak is running his guts out to qualify. He runs a lot of races. Want to wear british kit, qualify at age groups for tri
You have to achieve a qualifying time.
I have been trying to find out what it is for 2008, and 2012, but I have not found that info so far.
If a lot of folks get the required time then you have to be one of the fastest to be selected.
richy gardner i looking for 2.12, dan robson is looking for 2.11.
rich was 3rd uk male last year, i think he needs 2nd
So if I ran 2:11 in any marathon before 2012 I would get to go?
Surely it is more complicated than that.
Not that I could run 2:11!!!
2:11 and be selected. If there are 5 Brits under, say 2:10 and you run 2.10:30, the chances are you won't be selected.
The complicated bit is picking the right parents.
Read the UK:A selection policy document.
For this year, the A standard is 2.11 and the B standard is 2.15. In track events, any country can take up to three athletes if they have achieved the A standard within a set time period before the Olympics, normally Jan 2007 to August 2008 in this case. Think it's the same for the marathon but in World Champs they have sometimes allowed up to 5 in the team.
So, if you got sub 2.11 in the qualification period and no-one else did, you would go. If you and five others achieved it, then the selectors would have to choose which three ran, depending on factors such as pb, championship experience, age, potential etc.
Look at eddie the eagle and eric the eel.
Find a sport where the UK does not even have a standard that is high.

Connan Mockasin - Forever Dolphin Love LP (Vinyl + Download) [PHLP 01]
Limited repress of Connan Mockasin's classic 'Forever Dolphin Love' album on black 12" vinyl. Comes with free download code inside the sleeve.
- Megumi The Milkyway Above
- It's Choad My Dear
- Faking Jazz Together
- Quadropuss Island
- Forever Dolphin Love
- Muss
- Egon Hosford
- Unicorn In Uniform
- Grampa Moff
- Please Turn Me Into The Snat
"Within the first ten seconds of Forever Dolphin Love opener 'Megumi The Milkyway Above', when you are greeted by a three year old child, you can sense that this is going to be a bit special. Fast forward 10 tracks later and you've been dragged ears first through the backdoor of another dimension." Drowned In Sound
"Dolphin glides casually through song and snippet, its construction almost elliptical, its effect amniotic. As such, its highlights seem to emerge after-the-fact, burrowing in while it's on and bubbling up later. Mockasin's a more ambitious songwriter than his sleepy demeanor would sometimes suggest, though-- the epic unravel of his tracks are proof enough of that. Ultimately, the ever-unraveling, mind-submerged Forever Dolphin Love reveals itself to be the work of a guy who's sounding small but dreaming big." Pitchfork

La. troops return home from Kuwait
BATON ROUGE - Christmas has come early for a number of local military families.
This morning members of the 922nd Horizontal Engineer Company of the Louisiana National Guard touched down at Baton Rouge Metro Airport. They've been in Kuwait for ten months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, conducting construction missions.
Family and friends waited eagerly at the airport to greet their soldiers as the plane landed.
"I'm so excited to see him and I'm proud of him. I'm glad they're going to return home safely," said Shellie Gautreau, whose husband is part of the unit.
The troops had a flight delay this morning in El Paso which set them back about an hour.
This was the second deployment for the unit.

With the coming of autumn, many consumers are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Halloween. While spending for the holiday reached fairly high levels last year, the National Retail Federation is predicting that it will be eclipsed this year.
The organization's annual survey, conducted by Prosper Insights and Analytics, is predicting that consumers will spend $8.4 billion on Halloween purchases this year. That number reflects an all-time high for the survey's 11-year history, and retailers are doing their best to get ready.
"After a long summer, families are excited to welcome the fall season celebrating Halloween. Retailers are preparing for the day by offering a wide variety of options in costumes, decorations and candy, while being aggressive with their promotions to capture the most out of this shopping event," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.
$8.4 billion in spending
The analysts predict that spending on a per-person basis will increase to $82.93 this year, a jump of over $6 from last year's total. In a breakdown of the numbers, the survey predicts that $3.1 billion will be spent on costumes, $2.5 billion on candy, $2.4 billion on decorations, and $390 million on greeting cards.
Consumers plan on celebrating the holidays in a variety of different ways this year. Results show that 71% of consumers plan to hand out candy, 49% will decorate their homes, 46% will carve pumpkins, 34% will throw or attend a party, 30% will take the kids out for trick-or-treating, and 21% will visit a haunted house. Sixteen percent will include their pets in festivities by dressing them up in a costume.
Where to shop?
Consumers will also have a number of choices of where to shop for holiday supplies this year. Forty-seven percent say they will visit discount stores for Halloween-related items, while 36% say they'll look for supplies at specialty Halloween/costume stores. The remaining consumers will go to grocery stores/supermarkets (26%), department stores (23%), or shop online (22%).
"Consumers are eager to celebrate Halloween, especially given that eight in 10 Americans will shop by mid-October. That is the highest we have seen in the survey history," said Prosper Insights Principal Analyst Pam Goodfellow. "Americans will enjoy taking advantage of early-bird promotions both online and in-store as they kick off the fall season."
The survey included responses from 6,791 consumers who were asked about their Halloween shopping plans from September 6-13. The margin of error for the survey is plus or minus 1.2%.

Offensive line now a strength for Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys had one of the worst offensive line in the league two years ago.
Thanks to the additions of first-round draft picks Travis Frederick (2013) and Zack Martin (2014) and the continued development of left tackle Tyron Smith, what was once a weakness has become a major strength.
Tight end Jason Witten said having the horses up front gives the entire team a boost.
"I think that it gives you a lot of confidence," Witten said during the team's first day of training camp in Oxnard. "They are the hardest-working group on the team.
"When you are able to protect and run behind those big guys when they are as good as they are, I think we call take confidence from that."
During his time as the backup to star quarterback Troy Aikman, Jason Garrett had the chance to play behind a line filled with Pro Bowl players. Garrett said having a superior offensive line changes the way an offense performs.
"I think it affects it dramatically," the Cowboys head coach said. "Your demeanor on offense can change. You can run the ball better, you can dominate the game, you can be more physical throughout the game to wear a team down at the end of the game.
"When you're not strong up front, maybe you have to do some things that you don't necessarily want to do.
"We feel like that's going to help our team on offense and we feel like it's going to help our defense. When you're a physical team, you possess the football, you can run the ball and that helps out all aspects of your team."
Starting cornerback Brandon Carr and recently signed linebacker Rolando McClain missed workouts Thursday and won't practice Friday.
Garrett said Carr is dealing with a family health situation so he did not fly out with the team on Tuesday.
McClain left Oxnard Wednesday night to go back to Alabama to take care of a legal issue. McClain will appear in court on Friday morning. Garrett said the team is hopeful he'll be back Friday night and be ready to go on Saturday.
Offensive lineman Ronald Leary also missed the opening workouts due to some tightness in his hamstring. Garrett said he anticipates Leary being back by Tuesday.
Carr's absence meant tMorris Claiborne and Orlando Scandrick lined up as the first-team cornerbacks.
While Scandrick and Claiborne battled last season for the starting spot opposite Carr, Garrett said the fight for starting spots is wide-open.
"We're going to play our best corners," Garrett said. "We feel good about the cornerback situation that we have. We've invested a lot in that with draft picks; we've signed these guys as free agents.
"We've kept Orlando under contract and given him good deals to stay with us. We like those guys and we feel like they're going to play better this year and we feel like the competition for those spots is going to help them and help our football team."

ASOIF suspends SportAccord links over Vizer controversy
(Reuters) - The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) has suspended links with SportAccord following the organization's scathing criticism of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
SportAccord president Marius Vizer said on Monday the IOC was not transparent enough and blocked attempts for other multi-sports events.
International judo federation president Vizer, whose SportAccord group represent close to 100 Olympic and non-Olympic federations and organizers of multi-sports games, said IOC president Thomas Bach interfered with the autonomy of sporting bodies.
"The Council met today in Sochi and reviewed the statements and report of the SportAccord leadership to its annual general assembly yesterday and considers the position taken not compatible with the role and mission of ASOIF as a major stakeholder of the Olympic Movement," the ASOIF said on Tuesday.
"ASOIF Council unanimously decided to suspend ASOIF's association with SportAccord with immediate effect pending a full review."
Vizer's comments triggered instant reaction with the world athletics federation (IAAF) immediately withdrawing its SportAccord membership, while the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) followed suit on Tuesday.
Fifteen federations, including soccer's FIFA, also opposed the remarks.
"I always tried to develop a constructive collaboration with the IOC and with president Bach," Vizer said at the opening of SportAccord's convention in Sochi, Russia. "Unfortunately it never became reality.
"Mr President, stop blocking the SportAccord strategy in its mission to identify and organize conventions and multi-sport games. Do not try to create a theory around which sports are and are not eligible for multi-sport games. Continued...

Ever since the untimely death of her mother, 14-year-old Joan Skraggs has been desperately unhappy. Under the thumb of her cruel father and three sullen brothers, Joan lives like a servant on their farm just outside of Lancaster, forever cooking, cleaning, and attending to the many demands of the home. But she has little freedom and less support from her family for her love of reading and blossoming interest in education. But when her father tells Joan she can't go to school anymore, it sets off a journey that will see her become first a runaway, then a hired girl on $6 a week, and finally her very own young woman.
Set in America during the optimistic years before the First World War, and told through a series of journal entries, The Hired Girl is the story of a young girl in search of real life and true love. It takes in feminism and housework; money, religion, and social class; literature and education, romanticism and realism, first love and sexual yearnings, cats, hats, and bunions. And it's a comedy.
©2015 Laura Amy Schlitz (P)2015 Recorded Books
"An Instant Classic"
Laura Amy Schlitz is a favorite author of mine and THE HIRED GIRL is now my favorite of her works. The narrative voice is unforgettable, reminiscent of Anne Shirley from Lucy Maude Montgomery's classic. Set in 1911, Joan/Janet is an intelligent, fourteen year old girl with a fierce desire to educate herself and be more than a housekeeper and farm hand to her brutal father and three brothers. She runs away to Baltimore where she lies about her age and finds herself taken on as the hired girl in the Rosenbach household. There, she is educated in so many disciplines, from literature to philosophy to religion, art and love. Her diary recounts all her painful, childish mistakes and her exuberant joys over the course of six months, picking up a year later as she is about to begin a new phase of her life. Schlitz's writing is magnificent and so authentic and Rachel Botchan's reading captures Joan's voice beautifully. All girls need to read THE HIRED GIRL.
"simply wonderful"
Excellent & entertaining historical fiction. Awesome characters! Well done. The synopsis just doesn't do it credit. Don't hesitate - great listen.
"enjoyable listen"
I may actually go back and listen again, which is something I don't often do. the character was strong and naive. reminded me of another favorite Midwifes Apprentice with humble beginnings and enobling finish...
"I'd give this 10 stars if you had them!"
Wonderful story of a bright 14 year old girl in 1911 who leaves a miserable home situation and finds a new life (as a 'Hired Girl') in Philadelphia. This would be a fairly charming story of life at that time and of growing up (probably not a story for guys) except for the reader who turns the whole tale into something marvelous. Her voice of the girl as she becomes a young woman and the overall performance is brilliant.
This book is somewhat like Jane Eyre which the title character references frequently.
This is the first performance of hers I've experienced but I will certainly look for more.
"Wonderful theme, perfectly narrated!"
A delightful and informative story about Jewish tradition vis a vis Catholic doctrine in 1911 Baltimore. Anyone who's straddled both worlds will greatly enjoy the adventures of a lovable 14 year old narrator.
This book is a real jewel.
"The narrator was great company. I want to read more books read by her"
Although this book is written for teenagers, which I am not, it very much had my attention throughout. It's a great story and that is just what I was looking for right now.
Filled with both truth and refinement. Truth about mistakes, and how they refine sweet Joan.
"Totally girlie"
I adored this quick read. It's a journal of a 14 year old, and she writes exactly how she feels about everything. Not holding back at all. Loved re-living first kisses, first love, and truly finding out that everything happens for a reason. Good Read 😎.
"Superb story and narration"
It reminded me of Anne of Green Gables - a high compliment indeed!
Joan/Janet: of course. I admired her courage, though she made mistakes typical for a 14-year-old. Mimi was terrific too. She's a little spitfire.
The climactic scene had me cringing ("Don't go there!") and then laughing at one character's big reveal.
It got me out of the house with my dog on the coldest days of this California winter - I wanted to hear what happened next.
The story was only exceeded by the narration. Brava to both artists!
"I loved this book! Recommend it to everyone!"
I loved the intertwining of a Jewish family and the innocence of a Gentile 14 year of girl who is introduced to evil and her ability to reject it and recognize good and to call out evil as well. I loved Joan/Janette's reaction to her first kiss. I am in my 50s now and nearing 60 and it brought back memories of my own when I was a teenager and my first kiss. I cannot put into words how sweet this entire story was to me. I am a gentile and I love the Jewish people and this story was a joy to read.
Rachel had the wonderful ability to pronounce Yiddish and she played Malka beautifully. Her entire performance was so enjoyable.
There maybe reviews that talk about this book only being for teenage girls but I have to say I disagree. It is refreshing to experience a story from the eyes of a young girl who runs away from a horrible father seeking a better life and willing to work hard. Though her life has been hard, she has not become hard and still has a sweet innocence not seen very often anymore and a sincerity about herself. Her struggle with truth and honesty and repentance. I smiled as I listened to her become a part of the Rosenbach family and it touched my heart. This is one of my favorite books I have heard/read in years. If the world and all its pornography has not crept inside your heart and if you enjoy talented writing and performances, if you love the Jewish people or are interested in how two different families with different religions live in one home, you will enjoy this book as well.
