Paul Merson
Football Expert & Columnist @PaulMerse
City slicker
Paul Merson believes City will edge the Manchester derby and tips QPR to seal a crucial away victory.
Last Updated: 07/12/12 3:40pm
As ever, you can follow all the Premier League action this weekend on Sky Sports.
And as ever, Soccer Saturday expert Paul Merson is on hand to take us through the fixtures and give us his verdict on where the games will be won and lost.
Tune in to skysports.com every week for his thoughts on who will end up winners and who will end up losers this weekend.
Ford Super Sunday: Manchester City v Manchester United
1pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD
In these derbies, strangely, the team playing away sometimes has a little bit of an advantage but I'm going to go for City in this one. If City were playing away, I'd fancy them even more because United would have to come forward and would get picked off.
Last year, City battered them in this fixture and it was the easiest 1-0 victory you could hope to see. I think they'll be just a little too good for them.
I think United will play a 4-5-1 with Robin van Persie up top on his own and try and frustrate City, but I think City have their number and will just nick it. Having said that, I watched the City game against Everton last weekend and when Carlos Tevez went off, they didn't look like scoring in a month of Sundays.
I think Manchester United's defending at the moment is all over the place and their goalkeeper situation is also questionable. There was some shocking marking in the 4-3 win at Reading but I don't know if City have got anyone like the lad Sean Morrison who comes up for corners and just says: 'I'm gonna score here.'
With regards to City's defence, I think Roberto Mancini needs to re-establish the Vincent Kompany-Joleon Lescott central defensive partnership despite the emergence of Matija Nastasic. That pairing won them the league and they were solid.
Ford Super Sunday: West Ham v Liverpool
3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD
If both sides were at full strength, I'd probably go for a draw given their respective forms - but Liverpool are missing their main man and striker Luis Suarez due to suspension.
If you couple the absence of Liverpool's main goal threat with the Hammers' encouraging 3-1 home victory over Chelsea last time out, I'm going to go with the home side to shade it. Upton Park is never an easy place to go and it'll be extra tough for Liverpool this time with the fans buoyed by beating the Blues, Sam Allardyce's men playing purposefully and being without the tireless run-making of Suarez.
Ford Monday Night Football: Fulham v Newcastle
7pm, Mon, Sky Sports 1 HD
Despite the fact that Fulham are without a win in seven Premier League games now, I think they've had some hard games. I quite like them.
I think Newcastle punched above their weight a bit last year. If they've got all their players on the pitch then they're a force but without some of their stars, they're not the same as last term.
I don't think the Magpies will be able to live with Dimitar Berbatov, so I can see the hosts getting back on track at Craven Cottage.
Everton v Tottenham
This is a difficult one to call and should be a good game.
Everton are playing well but they're not winning football matches and that's always a worry. Manchester City didn't play very well against them last weekend but still didn't look like losing against them.
Having said that, Spurs will be missing the injured Gareth Bale and Everton's own star man Marouane Fellaini can cause anyone problems with his height and strength. At the moment, for me, he's as good as anybody in the Premier League.
I don't see much between these two teams so I'm going to go for a draw.
Arsenal v West Brom
I don't understand Arsene Wenger sometimes. I'm a fan of Olivier Giroud and I think he's one of the players who's come in to the squad who can be a real force.
When Giroud's played, he's done well and then all of a sudden he gets left out by Wenger in favour of playing Gervinho up front on his own. For me, Gervinho is not a centre forward. Giroud is the in-form forward and keeps getting left out. I don't get it.
West Brom were the surprise package but have lost two on the trot now and may have hit a brick wall. When they lost the other week, Steve Clarke made about five changes to his side and you just thought that might be a bit harsh.
Aston Villa v Stoke
This Darren Bent situation is all that people are talking about when it comes to Villa. There are now rumours going round that Villa will have to fork out another £5m if he plays three more games and triggers a clause in the transfer agreement, so I can't see him coming back now. You'd have thought he'd be on his way in January. If that's not the case, then how is Bent not one of the best 16 players at Aston Villa?
I like Stoke. I always think they must be a nightmare team to play against because they're so hard-working. I think they won away for the first time in 17 Premier League games at West Brom the other day so that will also be a lift for them.
Southampton v Reading
I think Southampton will be alright. I think they've turned the corner a little bit in my opinion. I think they all know what they're doing and try and play some good football. I don't see anything but a Saints win here. Even when Reading sneaked victory at St Mary's in the Championship during their incredible run last season, they could've been beaten by 10 goals!
Reading may have a chance at set-pieces because as I've mentioned before, Morrison has a great attitude when he comes up for corners and Saints goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga has looked a bit shaky, but I don't think it will be enough.
Sunderland v Chelsea
Sunderland were shocking in the first half at Norwich and although they improved after the break, anyone can play when they're losing because the shackles are off and you just go out and play. I think Sunderland are a really struggling team. With no Lee Cattermole at the moment, I think they're going to find themselves in the relegation battle.
I can see Chelsea picking off the Black Cats very easily, ripping them to shreds and bagging an emphatic victory.
Swansea v Norwich
If you talk about the in-form teams, you'd have to mention both of these teams but I can't back against Swansea here. We've heard speculation over big clubs coming knocking for the Swans' free-scoring striker Michu, and then manager Michael Laudrup saying that he won't listen to offers under £20m. If you could buy him for £20m and he kept on doing what he's doing now, you'd say it was a snip. He's a good player and there'll be a lot of scouts at big clubs in trouble for not picking him out, because he only cost Swansea £2m.
Norwich have got some good players as well with the likes of Anthony Pilkington and Robert Snodgrass on the flanks and I think a fit Sebastian Bassong is a top centre-half. But I'll be going for Swansea because of their passing.
Wigan v QPR
This is a massive, massive game for Queens Park Rangers. They're not far off. They don't get battered but they manage to lose games.
I think that on their day, Wigan are one of those sides that can beat anyone. I watched them play against Manchester City a couple of weeks back and if they'd have taken their chances, they'd have won the game.
Draws are no good for QPR - if they draw the next 20 games they'll get relegated. They need to win and this has got to be a highlighted game for them because you look at the other fixtures and you'd say Villa could get something at Stoke and Saints are playing fellow strugglers Reading.
If Rangers lose this game, they could find themselves 10 points adrift of safety and that's too many even at this stage of the season. I'd say some of it depends on which Wigan show up, but I'll go with Harry to pull it off.

My husband and I were talking about what type of burger I should make for the contest over some cocktails. We thought of this type of burger. It was fun to make.
I love hamburgers and since I recently relocated to the Lone Star state I had to create a burger that had a tex-mex feel.
This burger is sweet, remeniscent of a breezy afternoon under a swaying jamaican palm, and hot as the fiery caribbean sun. One bite and you'll be on the phone with your travel agent!
This is a combination of Louisiana spices mixed with a little Hawaiian flare.
Crab cakes, crab rangoon, crab au gratin--any other words anything with crab is a favorite of mine. With this recipe the won ton is replaced by the Asian flavored hamburger and grilled.
South Omaha is a part of our city that came to be back in the 1800's thanks to an influx of Polish, Irish, Czech and Italian immigrants eager to make their livings in the growing meat packing indus
These make a great brunch dish.
This is a healthy alternative to the standard burger. The texture is just right and the creamy avacado salsa is scrumptious.

Blood vessels
Can you pop a blood vessel in the back of your head? For example, when I would ran really hard in basketball I would feel this pain and then a rush of blood or some flow. What is that?
Superficial vessels in the skin can rupture, but they don't usually cause bleeding outside of the skin or any real symptoms other than mild discomfort. The pain you are describing is not likely due to rupturing a vessel superficially. Any larger vessels (arteries) that would be ruptured would cause a lot of symptoms and make you extremely symptomatic very quickly and would be very obvious.

Folding SpaceRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Not easily pictured am I.
Elusive like the breath of a sigh.
24 square faces in multiple dimensions and spaces.
8 cubes of ice for a drink that's quite nice.
32 edges; not silly green hedges.
16 vertices all bathing in the seven seas.
By 8 hyperplanes I am bound; yes my description is sound.
Hint"A Wrinkle in Time"
AnswerA Tesseract.
The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. It is four dimensional, as a cube is in three dimensions.
A tesseract is bounded by eight hyperplanes (xi = ±1). Each pair of non-parallel hyperplanes intersects to form 24 square faces in a tesseract. Three cubes and three squares intersect at each edge. There are four cubes, six squares, and four edges meeting at every vertex. All in all, it consists of 8 cubes, 24 squares, 32 edges, and 16 vertices.

Plans for a new play area for Woodhouse and Spring Bank are to be discussed at a public meeting on Wednesday.
Residents attending a neighbourhood forum will be asked what sort of facilities they would like to see for children and young people. They will also be invited to join Bradford councillors and officers in efforts to push the long-term project forward.
Council staff, who are looking at potential sites, stress the proposals are at an early stage and no sources of funding have yet been identified.
Residents have called for a playground in the Woodhouse and Spring Bank area for several years.
Keighley East Ward officer Sue Gledhill, who will chair Wednesday's forum, said: "Facilities for children and young people always come up as a high priority for residents, so this is the time to make your views known.
"We are keen to encourage the involvement of local residents in helping to identify ways we can work together to develop provision locally."
The forum starts at 7pm in Hainworth Wood Community Centre, Woodhouse Road. There will also be discussion on activities at the centre, and issues such as the local environment, crime and community safety.

Celebrating this year's 75th Anniversary of DC Comics, the DC X Bishoujo Collection (combining DC's superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) continues with Kotobukiya's second statue: CATWOMAN.
Following the valiant DC X Bishoujo Batgirl (see our story HERE), Catwoman is ready for heroism or mischief (or both) as she stands in a sexy pose. Clad in her tight black leather bodysuit, the thieving beauty coyly raises one foot off the ground while playfully biting her whip. Meanwhile, the rest of her weapon coils in the air behind her, adding tremendous life and action to the piece.
Catwoman is constructed of high-quality PVC plastic and stands approximately 9 1/10 inches tall (in an increased 1/7 scale for DC X Bishoujo statues) atop an exclusive Gotham City Batman-inspired gargoyle base complete with two miniature cats.
The DC X Bishoujo CATWOMAN Statue is scheduled to arrive in March 2011 priced at a SRP of $59.99. Check out our photo gallery below for more images of the sexy cat burglar.

As the 19th century was coming to a close in Japan, traditional ukiyo-e woodblock prints of the Edo and Meiji periods faded in popularity, giving way to two new movements.
One group of artists began working to connect the Western idea of fine art with craft, creating sosaku hanga (creative prints), while another sought to revitalize ukiuyo-e through shin hanga (modern or new prints). Both groups made an effort to produce prints that would appeal to Western audiences, who were expressing interest in their work.
Visitors to the USC Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena will have the opportunity to view and compare sosaku hanga and shin hanga displayed side by side in "A New Way Forward: Japanese Hanga of the 20th Century" today through April 19, 2015. Work by major artists from both movements, including Kawase Hasui, Hiroshi Yoshida, Ito Shinsui, Kiyoshi Saito and Munakata Shiko, will be shown in two six-month rotations.

That was me, says Harrison Ellenshaw, son of Disney Legend and master painter Peter Ellenshaw, who won an Oscar for his visual effects work on "Mary Poppins and was nominated a total of five times for the Academy Award. I had grown up fascinated by my father's painting." Harrison says. He would sometimes give me canvas and paints. I have photographs of me painting when I was a small boy. My father's life was painting, even during meals he would bring the canvases he was working on into the kitchen and sit and eat and look, criticizing his own work. My mother was not always pleased that this was how the family spent mealtime, but she understood his passion. But I found both this passion and his incredible talent intimidating. I was convinced I could never live up to any of it.

Named after the zombies of Irish myth, Inner Sphere warriors that first encountered it during the Battle of Luthien called this 'Mech the Cauldron-Born. Ironically, the Clan Smoke Jaguar 'Mech that was intended to replace the Loki was not referred to by its Clan designation, Ebon Jaguar, by other Clans as it was still so new that many Clans just called it by its Inner Sphere designation. It was made to ambush its enemy with a low body, similar to the Lyran Bushwacker, that makes it harder to target.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The primary configuration of the Ebon Jaguar was made to attack from long range. With a mammoth Gauss Rifle occupying the entire right arm, a 75mm LB 5-X AC in the left arm, and an LRM-10 jutting above the birdlike shoulder, it can act as a speedy support 'Mech with a variety of ways to deal damage. An SRM-2 and an ER Medium Laser provide backup for short range work. The thirteen integral double heat sinks are more than enough to keep the OmniMech cool, while its nine and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor keep the design safe.[1][5]
Alternate Configurations[edit]
- Alt. Config. A
- Built around what was once the largest gun in the Clan arsenal, the Cauldron-Born A is capable of dealing blistering damage at a variety of ranges. For long range, the A uses a pair of ER Large Lasers. At close range, the MechWarrior can switch to a 203mm Ultra Autocannon/20 that carries a fair amount of ammunition, along with a Medium Pulse Laser, and an ER Medium Laser. For anti-infantry work, it carries a pair of Machine Guns and a multi-purpose Flamer. Finally, the A variant has a pair of ER Medium Lasers mounted in the rear to discourage lighter 'Mechs from taking advantage of its relatively weak rear armor. The MechWarrior must carefully shepherd his or her weapons fire, as the variant carries no additional heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 1,860[1][6][5], BV (2.0) = 2,429[7]
- Alt. Config. B
- This variant, once called by a DCMS warrior the best forward observer ever built, uses an ER PPC and a Large Pulse Laser mounted in each arm. To supplement this, it carries a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers, as well as an Active Probe, and a TAG spotting laser. This variant is not as prone to overheating as the A, but a MechWarrior must use volley fire if he or she intends to use both the PPCs and Large Pulse Lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,636[1][5], BV (2.0) = 2,535[8]
- Alt. Config. C
- The Cauldron-Born C is a missile boat and much easier on the heat curve than the other variants. Its primary weapons are a pair of LRM-15s and 25mm Ultra Autocannon/2s. Backing these up for short range work are a pair of SRM-6s. Though this variant carries no energy weapons, it does have ample supplies of ammunition that allow it to stay on the field for long periods of time. BV (1.0) = 1,666[1][9][5], BV (2.0) = 1,831[10]
- Alt. Config. D
- Intended as something of a medium-range brawler, the Cauldron-Born D features a pair of Ultra Autocannon/10s and an ER Large Laser. These are supplemented by a pair of ER Medium Lasers. Though the energy weapons appear primarily as backups, the less-than-ample ammunition bins ensure they will see a great deal of use. BV (1.0) = 1,814[1][11][12], BV (2.0) = 2,228[13]
- Alt. Config. H
- The H variant returns to the Ultra Autocannon/20 of the A, though it strips out all of the other weapons. They are replaced by a Heavy Large Laser, a pair of Heavy Medium Lasers, and a single Medium Pulse Laser. All of these weapons are tied to an advanced targeting computer. Even though this variant mounts additional heat sinks, an inexperienced MechWarrior could still be overwhelmed by the amount of heat this variant can produce. BV (1.0) = 1,815[1][15][16], BV (2.0) = 2,359[17]
- Alt. Config. U
- Intended for use underwater, this variant carries five experimental UMUs. Each arm carries a single Large Pulse Laser and ER Small Laser to capitalize on armor breaches inflicted by the pair of LRT-15s carried in the torso. BV (2.0) = 2,593[18]
- Alt. Config. X
- The X variant is equipped with an Angel ECM Suite for protection, and a Targeting Computer linked to the weapon systems. This configuration carries a Rotary AC/5 in the right arm, three ER Medium Pulse Lasers and a single ER Small Pulse Laser. BV (2.0) = 2,435[19]
Custom Configurations[edit]
- Ebon Jaguar Samantha
- A custom configuration used by the 6th Striker Cluster CO Star Captain Samantha Kotare during the Operation Bulldog assault against Luzerne, [20] her OmniMech was armed with an ER PPC and an Ultra AC/20 in its arms, supported by a trio of LRM-10's mounted in its right torso, and an ER Small Laser in its left. Two tons of reloads were carried for both the Ultra Autocannon and the LRM launchers. BV (2.0) = 2,372 [21]

Callaway Golf of Carlsbad will sell the trademarks and intellectual property rights to its Top-Flite golf equipment and accessories brand to retailer Dick's Sporting Goods.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Callaway bought Top Flite in a bankruptcy court auction in 2003 for $174 million.
At the time, Callaway hoped the deal would boost volume in its fledgling golf ball business – which Callaway had entered just two years before. The combined companies sought to gain economies of scale to better compete.
It didn't work. Though Callaway tried to revive the Top-Flite brand over the years, it struggled to make money selling a commodity brand like Top-Flite in stores such as Wal-Mart when Callaway was used to selling premium Callaway brand golf gear at sporting goods stores and golf course pro shops.
Bud Leedom of Leedom Asset Management San Diego called the purchase "one of the worst moves I have seen in the golf industry. It just lacked so much understanding of how much Top Flite had deteriorated over the years from lack of investment."
The sale is a sign that new Callaway Chief Executive Chip Brewer, who was hired from Adams Golf, is steering Callaway back to its roots in premium golf equipment, said Leedom.
In a statement, Brewer said "the decision to sell Top-Flite reflects the company's renewed focus and commitment to driving the proficiency of our core businesses, specifically the success of Callaway and Odyssey products."
Brewer added that Callaway's "strong working relationship with Dick's Sporting Goods went a long way towards the completion of this agreement."
Dick's Chief Executive Edward W. Stack said in a statement that the company "added a strong, highly recognized name to our portfolio while gaining a valuable competitive advantage in the golf market."
The Pennsylvania-based company operates 480 sporting goods stores and 81 Golf Galaxy stores nationwide.
Earlier this year, Callaway sold its Ben Hogan brand, which it bought along with Top-Flite in 2003.
Callaway's shares ended Thursday up 18 cents at $6.96 on the New York Stock Exchange.

I say Officer. You say Constable. Store? Shop. Trash? Rubbish.
Some of the translation process of creating an Australian version of You the Man involved just specific words. Other points of translation required considering what was meant, and how that might be best delivered idomatically. Case in point, when Officer Friendly says: Did you know that approximately 73% of all rapes are committed by friends, family members, and acquaintances? Apparently, it's not that masked stranger in a dark alley that a woman has to fear as much as she has to fear the smiling faces around her. That's a conversation stopper all right.
Constable Friend now says: That's a barbeque stopper all right.
But the most extensive changes came when translating American sports culture to Australian sports culture. Basketball is equal opportunity in the US. Footy (Australian Rule Football) was the closest we could come. We wanted to examine the gender box, issues of loyalty, and what someone has to lose.
American Version: The Virgin Larry (Virg for short)
I tell ya, the way people talk about sex all the time, you'd think half the world was gettin' it daily. In the movies, it's like they kiss, and baddah-boom, you know, then, next instant, they're doin' it. Come on-it's not like you can pick up a basketball and then be in the NBA. And people keep your score. Everyone's waitin' for you to kiss and tell. Now me, I was a late bloomer. Back in the day, I got the nickname The Virgin Larry … 'Virg' for short. Yeah, pretty funny, day in and day out, "Hey, Virg-great moves with the ball today … too bad you can't score in bed like you score on the court." And if gay-dar radar's turned on you, well buckle up, buddy, 'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride. "Hey Virg-if I ever hear you shooting for the other team, you can kiss your sorry ass goodbye !" Nice. I got the first chick into bed that I could. It went well. No. Actually. Things were a little … premature. Hey, I mean that in several ways. They call that irony. Pretty funny. No it isn't. You think it's been easy having the nickname the Virgin Larry?
Aussie Version: The Virgin Barry (VB for short)
You'd think half the world was getting' it daily. Movies, ads, the net – sex on tap. Easy. But it's not like you can just pick up a ball and get drafted, I don't reckon. They call me the Virgin Barry – VB for short. Great. Is it my fault I'm a kick behind the play? "Hey VB," they say, "too bad you can't score where it counts." And if gay-dar radar is turned on you well it's bums to the wall, mate. I got the first chick I could into bed. How'd it go? Well, no pressure right? Let's just say I fumbled the ball. Lucky no-one around here keeps score.
In Australia footy is played in a club system–and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems if every town's got at least one club! The players are mostly older than Americans playing for the college systems, and playing has nothing to do with university, scholarships or feeding into the NBA draft system. The question was, what does VB have to lose by not taking action and being complicit in his friend's atrocious actions of taping sex with a woman without her knowledge, and having sex without her consent, and, doing so after being asked to stop… a few times? In theatre, it's the writer's job to create the stakes, and they need to be high.
In the American version Virg stands to lose his scholarship and is looking at a possible expulsion–as are all of the others who were there. In the Aussie version, VB is looking at legal action being taken by the league's lawyers.
Several years ago the show was presented at the National Women's Studies pre-conference for the Women's Centers association. An audience conversation went something like this between a woman from a high profile Division I NCAA basketball school in Georgia (let's call her Georgia) who worked in the Women's Resource Center, and Lisa Jo Epstein, a friend who is trained in Theatre of the Oppressed by Augusto Boal:
GA: Well, that's nice that there were consequences for the basketball player, but that's pretty unrealistic.
LJE: Why is it unrealistic?
GA: Well, losing a scholarship? Expulsion? I work at [!!] and that would never ever happen.
LJE: Well, what would happen?
GA: I don't know. Nothing.
LJE: Maybe what this play can do for us is not replay reality just as it is. Maybe it can help us ask, "what would happen at my university, and is that okay? Is it enough?"
It's not the job of theatre to recreate reality, but to offer a reflection of reality. Standard principles of TO is in taking on reality and oppression, and then offering possibilities for alternatives, choices, and potential change.
I loved Lisa Jo's question: What would happen, and are we okay with that?

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET Welcomes Darlene Love, 12/9
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, Broadway's new hit musical, is pleased to announce that Darlene Love will join the cast of the Tony nominated Best Musical for a special performance during the finale of the Thursday evening, December 9 performance at the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street).
Love has been hailed as one of the greatest singers in pop music starting with her first number one recording, "He's A Rebel," through her string of label hits with legendary producer Phil Spector, including "Da Doo Ron Ron," "He's Sure The Boy I'm Gonna Marry," and "Christmas Baby Please Come Home." Love was recently nominated for the third time to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET features Eddie Clendening (Elvis Presley), Lance Guest (Johnny Cash), Tony Award® winner Levi Kreis (Jerry Lee Lewis), Robert Britton Lyons (Carl Perkins), Tony Award® nominee Hunter Foster (Little Shop of Horrors, Urinetown) and Elizabeth Stanley (Cry-Baby).
On December 4, 1956, an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together. The place was Sun Records' storefront studio in Memphis. The man who made it happen was Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock and Roll," who discovered them all. The four young musicians united for the only time in their careers for an impromptu recording that has come to be known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.
Inspired by the actual event, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET features a treasure trove of the greatest rock and roll, gospel, R&B and country hits from these musicians, including such iconic songs as "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "Sixteen Tons," "Who Do You Love?," "Great Balls of Fire," "Riders in the Sky," "I Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues," and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On." MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET captures the infectious spirit, freewheeling excitement and thrilling sounds of a singular moment when four of the music industry's most extraordinary talents, all in their creative prime, came together for one of the most memorable nights in music history.
In addition, to Kreis' Tony® for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET received Tony nominations for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical (Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux). The show received an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical (Levi Kreis), a Drama Desk Nomination for Outstanding Musical Revue and three Drama League Nominations including Distinguished Production of a Musical and Distinguished Performance (Lance Guest & Levi Kreis).
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is directed by Eric Schaeffer and features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. The design team for Broadway includes: Derek McLane (scenic design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Kai Harada (sound design) and Chuck Mead (musical arrangements and supervision).
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is produced by Relevant Theatricals, John Cossette Productions, American Pop Anthology, Broadway Across America, and James L. Nederlander.
The Chicago production of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET opened in 2008 and is still playing to packed houses at the Apollo Theatre. An upcoming national tour will launch next season and a London production will open at the Noël Coward Theatre on February 28, 2011 with previews beginning February 8, 2011.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET's performance schedule is Tuesday at 7PM, Wednesday through Saturday at 8PM. Matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2PM and Sunday at 3PM.
NEW REGULAR PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE (BEGINNING MONDAY, JANUARY 3) is Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 PM, Thursday through Saturday at 8 PM. Matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2:30 PM and Sunday at 3 PM.
Darlene Love. From her first number one recording, "He's A Rebel," through her string of label hits with legendary producer Phil Spector, including "Da Doo Ron Ron," "He's Sure The Boy I'm Gonna Marry," and "Christmas Baby Please Come Home" to the countless songs she sang backup on for artists like Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick, Cher, Luther Vandross and Aretha Franklin, Darlene Love is still blazing a trail of success in the music industry and has been nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her albums include Age of Miracles, recorded live in New York City, her first gospel album; Unconditional Love released by Harmony records.
Over the course of her career Darlene has been hailed as one of the greatest singers in pop music by such music legends as Cher, Better Midler and the legendary Luther Vandross. She has proven herself a talented actress as well on stage and screen, starring as Danny Glover's wife in all of the Lethal Weapon films and lighting-up Broadway in such musicals as Grease and the Tony Award®-nominated Leader of the Pack. Darlene also starred for three years on Broadway as Motormouth Maybelle in the Tony Award®-winning musical Hairspray.
Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Specter. Soon thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound, and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series "Shindig", and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher.
Darlene then took her years of singing to a new level in order to pursue a solo career and when she did, rock & roll history was made. She has received great national press exposure, including a feature in People magazine, a CNN television documentary on her life, and bookings on numerous national television programs, including "Today," Rosie O'Donnell, and the Oprah Winfrey show as well as her yearly stint on the David Letterman show which she has done for over 20 years.
Darlene's first studio Christmas album, "It's Christmas, Of Course" was released December 2007 to national critical praise. In 2010 Darlene began a tour of Australia starring as 'Miss Sherman' in "Fame: The Musical." Darlene has also released a CD and DVD of her live concert "The Concert of Love" produced and released by Reel Good Productions.
Darlene was also recently nominated for the third time to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 2011 will bring a feature film based on Darlene's autobiography "My Name Is Love." The film is currently scheduled to begin shooting next spring-summer. For more information, visit www.whoisdarlenelove.com.

|The old-school rating for this route is 10c, however the newer guide books give it 11a, so it is up in the air. The serious rating is because of the loose rock on the first two pitches. Otherwise the gear is bomber.
By Charles Vernon
From: Tucson, AZ
Jul 21, 2001
The pitch lengths in the above description are straight out of Rossiter, and they are a bit screwy. Most people will want to do as Gillett describes in his new guide, and start with the obvious left leaning crack system on P1, and then traverse to the Mitten dihedral(which doesn't reach the ground)--about 180 feet (belay at the base of the Mitten if necessary), but the first 50 are easy and avoid some involved and dicey scrambling far left and then back right. P2 and P3 combine nicely with a 60 meter rope. The description gets really weird for the next two pitches: the obvious belay on the crux pitch is after about 90 feet (it answers Rossiter's description of the belay), but that makes the .10a fist/OW about 150 feet long. Which leads me to believe that Rossiter has the height of the Obelisk wrong, as well as the location of the belay. One could conceivably continue the crux lead up the first part of the wide crack and belay on another small ledge, to make the pitches more even in length.
Other notes: watch for a very loose flake near the top of P5, in the wide crack. The .10c "old-school" grade seems accurate to me, especially when compared to other pure crack climbs in the Estes/Boulder area, e.g. Country Club Crack, Days of Heaven, etc. The final 3 pitches are fantastic and more than make up for the lower chossy stuff.

rating: 5.10d 6b+ 21 VII+ 21 E3 5b
Yes, the 5.11a pitch is really just old-school 5.10c, with a few moves of 1-1.5" crack for a crux. Unless you are a very good offwidth climber, you might find that only 2 big cams is a little shy of the ideal pro for the 5.10 off-width pitch.
I placed the last of my large gear down low. For the last 40' I had nothing- zip, nolo, nada... and that was a bit tweeky. Maybe I am just a wimp, but I ended up a little nervous about being 30' above my gear on this pitch. Take 2 #4's and a #3.5, or save whatever ones you have for up high.

|The 4-inch 10a is the true crux of this route. Put your stronger leader on it.
By Joe Collins
Jul 11, 2002
I finally did this route the other day and I strongly disagree with the notion that the 10a pitch is the true crux of the route. The crux pitch is probably 10c but it feels like 11- at that altitude. The 10a fists at the start of the "wide" pitch are burly but the OW higher up is only 5.8. I felt solid with one #3.5 and one #4 Camalot, though the #4 Camalot needs to be saved for the top of the pitch.
This is probably the quickest climb on the Diamond (if done as 5 pitches its borderline grade III) and the upper part of the route gets sun for a little while after the rest of the wall is in the shade. It was the first Diamond route I've done where I haven't felt completely destroyed when I got back to the car.
By Bosier Parsons
From: Colorado Springs, CO

If you know you're going to rappell the wall, you can easily traverse right at Almost Table Ledge, without stopping for an extra belay, and also avoiding the first, short, 50' rappell from Table Ledge to Almost Table Ledge.
On the wide pitch, I remember getting a blind TCU placement around the arete on the left, then having to climb about 30' to the top of the Obelisk Pillar, but not terribly difficult climbing (5.8 with a section of 5.9?).

|I, too, felt that the thin-hands pitch was the true crux. I recall Mr. Bubb's statement (in some other route review) that he has smallish hands, hence a possible explanation as to how the pitch felt to him. If your hands are "standard issue male hands" (like mine are), it will feel harder. Then of course there's the subject of how good at thin hand cracks one is....GAAAHHHH!!! Sorry to bring up a topic that could be discussed ad infinitum, but I thought some clarification/obfuscation might be helpful....

Funny comments...I'll add mine. We picked this route at the last minute when we got to B-Way a bit late and found the Yellow Wall occupied. We only had the [Gillett] topo, no description, so we only had 2 #2 Camalots and one #3. I didn't know there was wide stuff on the route! Needless to say, I found the two 5.10 pitches to be quite exhilarating, but it is possible to do. I held onto the #3 (with lots of placing, then backcleaning it) until 20 feet or so from the ledge, on the 10a pitch, then ran it to the top. Fortunately there are a lot of options for placing smaller gear intermittently on those pitches. So there's your slim rack beta.
PS, awesome route with a great, splitter crux!

Another option, if you find yourself in Mr. Anderson's situation, is to step left from the belay atop Pervertical's crux and do the 11c pitch of Ariana, which requires nothing larger than a #2 camalot. If you can do the crux of PV in good style, you will do OK on that pitch. You may or may not send, but you'll get it up fine. However, if you struggle on PV's crux, I can't recommend this option.
Also, having done both routes, I feel that this combo is actually gives you the two most classic pitches on this side of the Obelisk-the best pitch on PV followed by Ariana's best pitch.

Interesting combo of Ariana .11c pitch and PS, but I would venture the best pitch on Ariana is the crux pitch.
Another option if you are in the vicinity without requisite bigger gear for PS is fire up D7, even if you need to A0 the crux. There is a ton of good climbing on this, and you will still have a smile on your face even if you pull on some gear up there.
With all the crowding on the Di-a-mond these days be prepared to shift plans and get loose up there. Also consider options from the raps down Y-Wall in case of crowding there, esp. if the weather craps out.

I've done this route twice. Once in the late 70s and once in the mid/late 80s and don't remember any offwidth. I suck at offwidths so I think I would remember. Since I suck at offwidths I have developed lots of avoidance techniques so maybe it's there and I just don't remember it... That chopper flake in the crack up high is waaaaay dangerous. Someone should trundle it when there's no one below.
The largest piece I ever carried in those days was a #3 Friend and it felt well protected. Maybe it was youth or maybe it was tricams. Don't remember. This was the first route I did on the Diamond and it felt pretty reasonable, but breathless, at .10c.
The raps are stupid and make the Diamond feel like a sport climb. Go up and over the top. You'll remember the secret passages down the Chasm View wall for the rest of your life...

Check out the featured photo of the route on this page. The one with Jo's whole arm stuck in the crack up to her shoulder. I'm pretty sure there is some OW on this climb...
But then again, that's a flexible definition. I guess some of us have smaller hands, but it's certainly bigger than fist for me and some others.
By Jarrett Tishmack

|Amazing route! No single move on the crux pitch is really harder than 5.9 but 10c is an accurate rating due to the super sustained nature of the crack. The 10a fist crack is also excellent involving perfect laybacks and deep fist jams. Nothing really off-width. Highly recommended.

My favorite route on the Diamond. Not sure why really except it was the first one I did.
I think Ron actually started this from Mill's Glacier with a independent line to Broadway in a attempt to do a grade six on the east face. This is a vague memory though and I could be wrong. Charlie Fowler did do just that though with his La Dolce Vida with a start near the North Chimney.

North Chimney packed with snow, consider the corner system to the left.
I found the rap route very well placed. It prevents your rope from getting stuck.
I didn't think the moves on the crux were that difficult. I would give it a 10+ rating. It's sustained climbing at altitude, which makes it tough.
The 10a OW pitch can be done with two #4's safely, if you conserve one for the top.
Overall this has got to be one of my favorite climbs! The position your in on the Diamond is incomparable to anything I have done so far.

If you're going to send this route in style and enjoy it:
Link the crux and the corner above. 10c crux is locker and the corner is fun if you stem, layaway and use the mantra "the park will provide" aka use the face holds. More of a fist crack than an ow. I carried a #4.5 Camalot-sized piece for this pitch, because of all the hoopla, used it at the belay. I did have a #4 Friend and a 11 hex though. Run it out a bit, you're on this stone to send, and it is big whipper steep if you don't!

We found doubles from 0.5 to 4 (new styles) to be sufficient.
These are the best alpine cracks I've ever climbed! The "OW" pitch contains more hand size than OW size crack. We didn't find P1 to be loose, just wet.

Amazing and sustained route. The thin hands will feel like 5.11 if you have big hands like myself. It is very steep and rests are few and far between. This was my first trip up the Diamond. As of yesterday, the North Chimney is steep snow to about half way up, then it turns to rock. Also, there is still snow on Broadway ledg,e so you will want crampons and an axe to get to the base.
I got my #4 stuck in the off width crack near the top of the pitch. Feel free to return it.

What a great line.
Jarod Sickler and I climbed this on Monday, July 25th 2011 and were the only one's on the wall. It was a bluebird day with zero precipitation and warm temperatures. It was spectacular.
Some thoughts:
-There is still a LOT of snow on the approach to the North Chimney and still some snow in the chimney itself. The snow in the chimney itself can be avoided by climbing on the rock ramp to the left of the snow. We roped up for a short steep section of the chimney just before Broadway. I recommend crampons for the approach, but you can leave the mountaineering ax behind. All the snow on Broadway is avoidable.
-The 4" crack pitch is more like a fist crack than an off-width but does a a couple of off-widthy sections. I led this pitch and ran out of big gear. Either be conservative with the big stuff or bring extra 3.5" and 4" cams.
-Right now there is flowing water at the top of PS on Kiener's. We had only one liter between the two of us and filled up on our way to the summit. It was quite a treat :)
-If you choose to summit, walk north west off the top toward the boulderfield. Follow cairns and a loose trail to some huge eye bolts on the rock. Two single (70 meter) rope raps will get you down to the far right side of the Diamond where rap anchors can be found. You'll have to look around a super exposed corner to find the anchors. The rap from there is set up for a double rope rappel. In order to make the 70 meter rope work, we had to build one intermediate anchor with some stoppers and purple cord. With this, we were able to reach every other rap station or get within an easy down climb of them. You can rap all the way down the North Chimney and ever down the steep snow approach with all the anchors that are there. A short glisade will take you back to the Chasm Lake bivy sites. Here is a good image for the right side rappel situation: 4.bp.blogspot.com/_PS4SVI8As2M...

You don't need a 70m rope to do the North Face rappels, a single 60m will work. If you do chose to top out on Long's (recommended, at least once), it's probably best/fastest just to do these raps (the first raps described by Hoag above) and scramble down The Camel (class 2) back to the upper end of the lake and your bivy.
Oh yeah, and this route is amazing! Have fun!

Holy CRAP. Literally. On Aug 1, we unknowingly flaked our rope over the large flake on top of the Mitten to find out someone had recently taken a huge shit inside. Fresh poop, all over our rope! To whoever did that and whoever's partner allowed them to, I hope you go back up there with a long scrub brush and clean up your shit. There must have been at least FIVE other ways you could've taken a crap that didn't directly affect a classic, popular, and well-traveled route. Seriously, shame on you. Do you know how long your crap will take to decompose inside a bare, rock chasm at 13,000 feet? I can still recall the feeling of wet, brown feces passing through my fingers as I belayed and our brown-stained hands jamming the cracks above.
Five other ways you could've pooped:
-You could have rapped to Broadway, since you were only 1 pitch up and done the deed.
-You could have shit on the outside of the Mitten where it would not have affected the route or belay, and it would actually get washed away by rain and sun.
-You could have emptied your water bottle and shit in there (probably the most practical option).
-You could have taken a wag bag to shit in (probably an even better option).
-You could have shit your pants (I hope you do when you read this).

Great route in a great setting makes for a wonderful day out.
Not much to add, but do remember to save a #4 for high up on the wide pitch.
We combined p2 & p3, to finish in 5 pitches.
Rating: I don't see how this would be 11a. The thin part is maybe 10 feet long but with great feet. Maybe if you had to rand smear, it would be harder. Being at 13,000 does add difficulty, but I've climbed many harder 11a's in Eldo.
Wide pitch is 10a. Plenty of rests. Make sure to bring small gear too, as there are ample chances to place it.

|Lots of #3 size Camalot climbing, so holding onto (or bumping) those is just as important as the #4s in my opinion. You can bump the #4 in a few spots lower on the pitch until you get another piece in and save both for the top which makes the wide finish much more comfy.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said earlier this week that his players don't care what other people think of them. Raise them high or shoot them low, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, right.
We're not convinced, not when every snap of the ball helps determine your fate. Not when the best story of resurgence this season lies in how you play. It meant a whole lot in a win on the road against Oklahoma last week. It meant even more in a 29-26 come-from-behind triple overtime victory against unranked Pittsburgh Saturday.
Down 14 at the end of the third quarter, fourth-ranked Notre Dame fought back to save the game, save the season and save the hopes of those longing to see the Irish back in what was once their rightful place on the national football landscape.
The Irish are 9-0. That, Kelly says, is what his team cares about. As it should.
Not only is a BCS bowl berth in the Irish's grasp, a spot in the national championship game is still in play. The Irish are at Boston College next week, home against Wake Forest and then on the road against rival USC.
Before they could look at those prospects, they first had to deal with a Pittsburgh team entering the game with a 4-4 record. The Panthers' leading running back, Ray Graham, and leading receiver, Devin Street, were charged with simple assault this week. Yet, they were not suspended.
That meant Notre Dame would get the best Pitt had to offer—and it was plenty in three overtimes.
"I'm so proud of our team," Kelly said on television immediately after the game. "They kept fighting. We were down and things didn't look great. And they persevered and found a way to win; three overtimes. That's good stuff."
After safety Elijah Shumate drilled Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri on third down, Pitt had to settle for a 41-yard field goal from Kevin Harper. Notre Dame responded with a 37-yard field goal by Kyle Brindza to tie it, 23-23.
Irish running back Cierre Wood was an inch away from crossing the plane on their next possession, but fumbled in the end zone. Harper's 33-yard game-winning field goal for Pitt narrowly missed, sending the game into overtime No. 3.
Harper's 41-yard field goal in the third overtime made it 26-23, Pitt.
Notre Dame, with Everett Golson leading the way, drove the ball on the Panthers. Golson got the ball to within an inch then finished it on the next play, forcing his way behind the line into the end zone to seal the game.
Earlier in the game, Golson had been benched and replaced by Tommy Rees. Golson could've sulked, and maybe he did a bit. But it didn't last for long. It couldn't.
"He utilized all of the things that he has," Kelly said of Golson's running ability. "He was down, but we told him he's gonna have to go back in there and help us, and he did. He came back and played really good football."
The theatrics Notre Dame can undoubtedly do without. But with them—it also beat Stanford in overtime—you know the Irish are gaining confidence, strength and favor among pollsters. You know they are getting closer to a goal that was well out of reach just a year ago.
Even if getting there won't be easy, Notre Dame looks every week to be more up to the challenge. This game proved that.

With three Big East games remaining on its schedule, Louisville has its sights set on a perfect record and a BCS bowl berth.
It's all within reach for the 12th-ranked Cardinals, who are 9-0 for the first time in school history after a 45-17 victory Saturday over Temple.
Still left for Louisville are games at Syracuse, home against Connecticut and on the road Nov. 29 against a one-loss Rutgers team that is yearning for its own BCS ticket.
First things first, though, for Louisville. That means another stellar performance from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The sophomore completed 19 of 28 passes for 324 yards and a career-high five touchdown strikes.
After Temple got on the scoreboard first with a 93-yard kickoff return by Matt Brown, Louisville responded with a touchdown pass from Bridgewater to Eli Rogers. Montel Harris, the Boston College transfer, scored on a 5-yard run for the Owls. It would be the final TD for Temple, which managed only a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter the rest of the way.
The Cardinals went on a 28-point run, including TD passes twice to Andrell Smith and once to DeVante Parker to end the third quarter. Bridgewater gave way to backup Will Stein late in the game.
Louisville's biggest challenge moving forward will be finding a way to slow the running game of its opponents. Temple rushed for 255 yards—an average of 5.9 yards per carry. The Cardinals entered the game yielding an average of 205.6 yards per game. Southern Mississippi (224), South Florida (195) and Cincinnati (196) all ran the ball successfully against Louisville's defense.
Rutgers had a bye week Saturday and it couldn't have come at a better time. Last week in a loss to Kent State, Scarlet Knights' quarterback Gary Nova threw six interceptions. Cincinnati, which lost to Louisville last week for its first Big East defeat, avoided an upset at the hands of Syracuse, winning 35-24.
Devin Gardner is no Denard Robinson.
Not yet, anyway.
Gardner was once the nation's most highly-regarded dual-threat quarterback recruits. Then, he found at Michigan himself behind Robinson, one of the best running-passing QBs the country had ever seen. So slight were Gardner's chances of seeing the field, he moved to receiver this year and had caught at least one pass in every game this season.
Last week, Robinson was knocked out of the Nebraska game after aggravating a nerve injury in his elbow. Gardner hadn't taken a snap at quarterback in practice in goodness knows how long. An overwhelmed Russell Bellomy entered the game and was disastrous: His first 10 passes were incomplete and he finished the 23-9 loss to the Cornhuskers with an abysmal stat line of 3-for-16 with three interceptions.
While Robinson tried to get himself ready for this week's game against Minnesota, he didn't come along fast enough. In stepped Gardner, who played the best game of his career as a Wolverine.
Gardner completed 12 of 18 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns and only interception in the 35-13 victory for the Little Brown Jug. In the 6-4, 203-pound junior, Michigan might have found next year's starter.
It was like fresh air for Michigan, which had gone two games without a touchdown. Michigan's scoring drives: 91, 90, 86 and 79 yards, showing Gardner was in complete control of himself and the offense.
Every expectation is for Robinson, who is completing 53.6 percent of his passes, to resume his role as the starter next week when Michigan plays host to Northwestern.
One play separated Nebraska from a ho-hum season and one that could land the Cornhuskers in the Big Ten Championship game. And who knows what can happen from there?
Is this relative newcomer to the Big Ten on its way to the most prestigious game the conference has to offer in the Rose Bowl? With a 28-24 last-gasp victory over Michigan State, Nebraska has a far clearer path to the Legends Division title. Wisconsin will be the Leaders Division winner.
Taylor Martinez passed to Kenny Bell fell incomplete late in the game, but Spartans' defensive back Darqueze Dennard was called for pass interference. Given another chance, Martinez hit Jamal Turner on a 5-yard touchdown pass with 6 seconds left.
Nebraska is tied with Michigan in the Legends Division, but the 'Cornhuskers beat Michigan last week. Penn State, Minnesota and Iowa remain on the schedule.
Kansas State quarterback left the game in the third quarter Saturday due to an undisclosed injury.
On this night, it made no difference.
The third-ranked Wildcats easily defeated Oklahoma State, 44-30, to improve to 9-0 and make a case to rise in the polls.
On a tackle at the end of a running play, Klein's wrist bent awkwardly. He played a while longer, but came off the field for good.
Klein left the game with 244 passing yards and 65 on the ground, including one rushing touchdown that made it 38-17 in the third quarter. Coach Bill Snyder afterward did not provide any details about the injury and said he was unsure of the quarterback's availability for next week's game at TCU.

The recipe uses drained canned tomatoes, canned green chiles, Mexican blend cheese, spices and eggs to create a delicious breakfast casserole that uses ingredients you probably always have on hand. I love this with a generous dollop or sour cream and salsa to continue the southwestern flavors; hope you enjoy!
I'm trying my best to post a Meatless Monday recipe on the weekend for people who want an idea for something meatless to cook on Monday, and this breakfast casserole that I'm updating with new photos is something I'd enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. (If you want more ideas, I also have a very active Meatless Monday Pinterest board with ideas from blogging friends, and feature a weekly recipe for Meatless Monday at BlogHer.com.)
(Low-Carb Southwest Egg Casserole was updated with better photos, January 2015.)
Southwestern Egg Casserole
(Makes 8-10 servings, recipe created by Kalyn when the veggie crisper was bare.)
(You may want to read Basic Instructions for Low-Carb Breakfast Casseroles which has instructions for different sizes of pan and ingredient options for this type of breakfast casserole.)
14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, very well drained
18 eggs
4 oz. can diced green chiles (Anaheim chiles, not jalapenos)
salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
(If you don't have Spike, use any all-purpose seasoning blend that's good with eggs.)
2 cups + 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used Four cheese Mexican Blend)
2-3 T thinly sliced green onions (optional but good)
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Salsa, for serving (optional)
In large bowl, beat eggs until well-combined, then mix in well-drained tomatoes, green chiles with any juice, salt and pepper to taste, and Spike seasoning. Put 2 cups of grated cheese in bottom of casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese with green onions if using, then pour egg mixture over. (I like to take a fork and gently mix so all the cheese is well distributed in the egg.) Sprinkle the other 1/2 cup cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered about 40 minutes, or until eggs are well set and top is starting to brown slightly. Serve casserole hot with a dollop of sour cream on top and a few spoonfuls of salsa on top.
Egg casseroles can be kept in the fridge for at least a week and reheated in the microwave or in a hot toaster oven. (I used to freeze casseroles like this, but freezing releases a lot of liquid from the egg and now I greatly prefer just to store them in the fridge.
