Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
October 25, 2011
Broadway star and triple-threat, Nikka Graff Lanzarone has been performing in one way or another since she was small. Growing up surrounded by family members working in the worlds of music, theatre, film and television, one might say the performance gene was in full-force. Could she have expected a guaranteed entrance into the entertainment world? Perhaps, however she's proven that she prefers to forge her own, distinctive, artistic path.
|Nikka Graff Lanzarone. [Press image from her website.]
After graduating from the prestigious Boston Conservatory, she moved to New York City and hasn't stopped working since. Roles in Broadway hits Chicago and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown put her squarely in the public eye, and she's used that exposure to her advantage. She was recently nominated, along with the rest of off-Broadway's Hello Again cast, for the Drama League's 2011 Distinguished Performance Award. The future looks blindly bright for Ms. Graff Lanzarone.
She generously agreed to answer a few questions about her artistic and personal life.
It's hard to pinpoint something exact. In some ways, six years ago when I moved to NYC. In other ways, my entire life. I have been performing and studying since I was a toddler, though only rarely professionally. I always knew I wanted to be a performer, and it was always the thing I was working toward.
My biggest career aspiration is to constantly stay busy, engaged in my community and interested in what's going on around me. I don't have a singular career goal, but I know that I want to continue on the path I'm beginning. I'm a workhorse — I just love doing the work! In 10 years, I definitely hope to have moved out of my studio apartment and into someplace with a bathtub, and be a little more established in my career. I'd love to create more roles, and have the opportunity to play the roles I've always dreamed of playing. 20 years? More of the same, but hopefully a house in the country as well. It's so difficult to look that far ahead when you do what I do, but it's nice to dream.

My family. The old-school Fosse dancers I grew up idolizing. Fashion.
It was beyond. It was a role that I never even dreamed I'd play, let alone on Broadway. It was a dream role that I was afraid to even mention was something I wanted, just in case I jinxed myself in some way. That role is a dancer's dream; you really have no excuse and no choice but to be completely full out every night. The role is so demanding that it's absolutely freeing. I love Velma — she never takes no for an answer. I learned a lot from her over the course of the show.
The two pieces were extremely different. Chicago is a tried-and-true Broadway staple that has been able to stand the test of time, and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown was a new work that never really got the chance it deserved. We loved that little show, it had such heart. It's always a challenge, putting together something that no one has seen before, especially under the not-so-lenient public eye of NYC. I am so grateful for the [very different] experiences I had in both shows and what I learned from them.

My family has never been anything but completely supportive, helpful and wonderful. We are incredibly lucky to have each other and we are very, very close. We oftentimes say that we'd rather hang out with each other than anyone else we know! My family has the unique experience to be able to help guide me in my career ups and downs, help me make some difficult decisions and support me no matter what. And I treasure them so much.
My father was raised Catholic.
I wasn't raised with any religion, but we celebrated all the major holidays. Growing up, my house was definitely the "party house," so any excuse to have a ton of people over and do a lot of eating and hanging out [was welcomed]. I spent more time with my mom's side of the family as a kid. (My father's side of the family largely remains in New York, and I grew up in Los Angeles.) There is a distinct New York Jewish flair that I associate with my childhood, but there was never any formal religious instruction or attending of services or anything like that. We do throw a mean Christmas Eve party every year, though! Not to be missed!
I'm grateful that I was raised in a household by such smart parents, that I grew up taking everyone's faith and beliefs into account without feeling pressured to choose anything if I didn't want to. I remain non-religious, but with immense respect for people who believe and practice.
I will remain hesitant until more organized religions take a stand for true equality. There are definite plusses and minuses to faith, but I can't get behind any organization that tells my closest and dearest friends they are not enough and shouldn't be recognized because they are gay. Growing up in an interfaith family definitely shaped my views, because I had more views to take into account and more information with which to make decisions about my adult life. Having all the different perspectives has added a facet to my life that I wouldn't trade for the world.
Hopefully something soon! I'm currently back to auditioning, hoping that something interesting will come my way! Ah, a life in the theatre!

An African student's death in a fall from a Denver hotel balcony is the first death in Colorado to be blamed on marijuana since the state legalized recreational use.
Levy Thamba, 19, died March 11 at a Holiday Inn. Friends said he jumped from the fourth-floor balcony after eating several marijuana cookies, a coroner's report released Wednesday said.
Thamba and his friends traveled to Denver from Northwest College in Powell, Wyo., to take advantage of Colorado's new marijuana law, Michelle Weiss-Samaras said. At least one person in the group appears to have been over 21, old enough to buy the marijuana cookies legally.
The report blamed the death on "multiple injuries due to a fall from height" with "marijuana intoxication" as a contributing factor. The coroner said Thamba died accidentally.
Thamba, also known as Levi Thamba Pongi, was from the Democratic Republic of Congo and had been an engineering student at Northwest since January.
The coroner's report said Thamba's friends described him as becoming erratic and hostile after eating the cookies. They got him into bed, but some time later he got up and went to the balcony.
The level of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, was above that considered proof of impaired driving in Colorado.
Michelle Weiss-Samaras, a coroner's spokeswoman, said investigators found no evidence Thamba had physical or mental problems.
"We have no history of any other issues until he eats a marijuana cookie and becomes erratic and this happens," she said. "It's the one thing we have that's significant."
Weiss-Samaras said the case is the first the coroner has investigated where marijuana was in an edible product. She said there have been a few cases of fatal car crashes where smoking marijuana was a contributing factor.

Prof. Zeev Zalevsky, Faculty of Engineering
Date: 2014-01-20 Hour: 13:16
At an official ceremony in Geneva marking Israel's admission as a full member of CERN, the prestigious European organization for nuclear research, Israel's foreign minister cited a Bar-Ilan University discovery as one of Israel's most noteworthy developments.
"Some inventions that were developed in Israel make breakthroughs which help improve people's lives. For example, Prof. Zeev Zalevsky, from Bar-Ilan University, has developed a bionic contact lens to help the blind see," said Foreign Minister Lieberman at the ceremony. Foreign Minister Lieberman's comments were published by the European Jewish Press, an online Jewish news agency.
Fitted and worn like a regular contact lens, this new invention is manufactured with electrodes, which get signals from a camera – either held in the hand or worn on one's glasses. When a user looks or points the camera to an object -- a door, a person, letters on paper -- the camera translates the image to a type of electronic Braille, and the contact lens "excites" the retina with tactile sensations. "It's like reading Braille, not with your fingertips but with your eyes," says Zalevsky, of the Faculty of Engineering. "We can encode an image with many more points than the Braille system and use these to stimulate the surface of the cornea."
At the ceremony Israel became the 21st country to join and the first non-European member state of CERN. Israel's admission to the organization will allow it to become more rapidly involved in the range of scientific, research, industrial and educational activities of CERN.
Israeli scientists have collaborated with CERN for many years, including on projects involving its underground atomic collider, located in Switzerland. Israel became the first associate member of Cern in September 2011 after the council voted to expand its membership. Israel's formal association with CERN began in 1991, when it was granted observer status.
"The Israeli scientific community has brought a great deal to CERN of the years," said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. "As a member of the fact-finding mission that assessed Israel's readiness for CERN membership, I was extremely impressed with the quality of Israeli research and researchers," added CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci.

Executive Chef
AJ Voytko
AJ, a Wyoming native got his first real start as the Executive chef of Sand Diego's CHIVE, where he was duly recognized by the James Beard Foundation (as one of its Rising Stars) and Southwest Magazine (as one of America's Youngest and Brightest Chefs).
When he left in 2003, he started a decade-long run manning the kitchen of hotel restaurants all over the west, including the Inn at Ranchero Santa Fe, the W Hotel in San Diego, Three Degrees Waterfront Bar & Grill at Portland's River Place Hotel and Portland's famed Benson Hotel, which he left to man The Original's kitchen.
Now that AJ is calling The Original home, he is getting back to the restaurant's original creative roots, but with a more nuanced approach that's as mindful of seasonality as it is of locally sourced meats and vegetables.
Highlighted features include grinding burger beef in house, and baking are burger rolls in house, too. Aj's approach to take regular but unfussy comfort food staples—macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, grilled cheeses—and turn them into something that makes them destination dishes.
Above all, though, his motto is "Eat simple. Eat clean."

Fuel Up to Play 60 Report Card: Initial Data Shows Progress in Helping to Create Healthier Schools
Feb 21, 2012, 15:17 ET from Midwest Dairy Association
ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Fuel Up to Play 60's first "report card" since launching in 2009 shows schools are making progress in promoting healthier eating habits and increasing physical activity among students, helping to create a healthier school environment. Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by National Dairy Council (NDC) and the National Football League (NFL), with additional partnership support from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that encourages youth to consume nutrient-rich foods and achieve at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Fuel Up to Play 60 is provided by Midwest Dairy Council, an affiliate of NDC, in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110830/DC59437LOGO)
With more than 70,000 schools now enrolled nationwide, representing almost three-fourths of all U.S. school districts, the program provides a free playbook of tools, resources, rewards and engagement activities to empower youth to work with adults in their school community to make healthy changes. Specifically in Midwest Dairy Council's 10-state territory:
- 12,610 schools, serving 5.5 million students, are enrolled in Fuel Up to Play 60
- More than $1.5 million in funds and rewards have been given to help participating schools increase access to nutrient-rich foods and physical activity
- More than 2,700 adults are Fuel up to Play 60 program advisors
- Nearly two-thirds of enrolled adults say the program is helping students make healthier food choices.
- More than half (56 percent) say the program is helping to increase opportunities for students to be physically active before, during and after school, and 58 percent say it is helping to increase the amount of time students are physically active.
- On average, 7.5 million students nationwide, over 20 percent of those enrolled, are actively involved in the program by helping to plan, lead, implement or participate in peer-to-peer promotions, events and in-school change strategies.
Fuel Up to Play 60 addresses the real-world circumstances by offering resource-strapped schools funding opportunities to help them make strides in meeting their wellness goals. Approximately 60 percent of funded schools serve a largely low-income student body. As a result, Fuel Up to Play 60, supported in part by U.S. dairy farmer families, has given a combined total of more than $20 million in funds and rewards to help participating schools increase access to nutrient-rich foods and physical activity. Beyond dollars, Fuel Up to Play 60 encourages and recognizes schools and students with tangible rewards and resources such as participation in a Student Ambassador program, official NFL gear and NFL player appearances.
"Fuel Up to Play 60 is going strong in the Midwest to support both healthy eating and physical activity in schools," said Molly Pelzer, RD, LD, senior vice president of Midwest Dairy Council. "Students in more than 12,600 Midwest schools are helping their schools work toward healthy changes for the long term. And the funds provided by the program will help many of the participating schools do even more to implement these wellness efforts."
The commitment to Fuel Up to Play 60 is extensive. In addition to a network of more than 90,000 adults enrolled in the program, the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services co-signed an agreement to support Fuel Up to Play 60. Supported by health and nutrition organizations like the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the School Nutrition Association, the program now involves schools that serve more than 36 million students nationwide. In the Midwest, Governors from Nebraska, Arkansas, South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas have stepped up to show their commitment to Fuel Up to Play 60. In Nebraska, Arkansas, South Dakota, and Iowa, Governors signed certificates pledging their commitment to the program's Guiding Principles and school wellness initiatives. In Kansas, the Governor proclaimed an official Fuel Up to Play 60 Day.
In 2011, the GENYOUth Foundation was launched to raise funds for Fuel Up to Play 60 and other in-school programs, and to give leaders in health, business, government and communities nationwide the opportunity to be a part of a movement to help reverse childhood obesity rates.

Midwest Dairy Council®, an affiliate of National Dairy Council, is the nutrition education division of Midwest Dairy Association. The Council is dedicated to dairy nutrition research and education through the investment of more than 11,000 dairy farm families across 10 Midwestern states, and is committed to child health and wellness through our collaborative program, Fuel Up to Play 60.

Deputy Assessor Voehl lauded by Nobles County
WORTHINGTON -- Deputy Assessor David Voehl was recognized by Nobles County Commissioners at the beginning of Tuesday morning's board meeting with an Excellence in Performance award.
The award is part of a new program in county government to identify, thank and acknowledge county employees for going "above and beyond" in their job.
Voehl was nominated by County Assessor Joe Udermann, and was selected by the county's management team as the first recipient of the award.
In recommending Voehl for the award, the management team said Voehl stepped up to serve the department while the county searched for a new county assessor, then helped Udermann transition into his new role by taking him throughout the entire county.
"He is working with and training all the local assessors while we move forward with our online systems," Udermann explained. "He is a great asset to our department and the county."
In accepting the honor, Voehl said that when he began working in Nobles County and attending training classes, people from other counties told him it was the "worst county in the state."
"As the years went on, I found out it was probably the best county in the state," Voehl said. "I hope people start saying, 'Oh, you're lucky, you get to work in Nobles County.'
"The people are wonderful to work with, I have a great, great staff and wonderful bosses and I hope to continue to work with this county in the future," he added.

Clarke Central coach William DeVane speaks to his team Thursday following practice. Having not won an outright region championship since 1989, some opponents have forgotten about just how inimidating the confines of Billy Henderson Stadium used to be.
Jeff Blake/Staff As stadiums go, it's hard to find one with more tradition than Clarke Central's Billy Henderson Stadium.
The walk through the pines, the Death Valley moniker and a legacy of successful teams all contribute to the atmosphere of the Gladiators' home field.
But does tradition equal intimidation? Depends who you ask.
As the Gladiators (8-1, 8-1 Region 8-AAAA) prepare to host Winder-Barrow (8-1, 8-1) at 7:30 tonight for the Region 8-AAAA championship, there were some predictable answers to the question of whether Death Valley intimidates visiting squads.
''If they're not, they should'' be intimidated, Clarke Central lineman Terry Fambro said. ''They don't call it Death Valley for nothing.''
On the other hand...
''I've never played in it,'' Winder-Barrow linebacker Travis Thurmond said, ''but it really doesn't matter. As long as we're making big plays, we don't have to worry about that.''
The opposing coaches, though, have slightly differing opinions.
Clarke Central quarterback Nelson Browner throws at practice Thursday. The Gladiators face Winder-Barrow tonight for the Region 8-AAAA championship.
Jeff Blake/Staff
For Clarke Central coach William DeVane, past tradition won't help present-day players win games.
''The kids that are playing now really don't know that tradition,'' DeVane said. ''I don't know it. I'm still learning it. I don't think it really carries that much effect now. But the thing I tell our players is we've got to make our own tradition, and this is the perfect opportunity to do it.''
But Winder-Barrow coach Brian Allison said his players are at least aware of the history of Death Valley.
''I know that our kids know that Clarke Central's got a good tradition in what they've done,'' Allison said. ''I know that these kids have a sense of that tradition, but I'm not sure they really know how big a tradition that is and how successful that program is.''
Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.
''I know the great tradition that's there,'' Allison said, ''and hopefully we'll be able to go over there and not be affected by the stadium and anything else going on other than the fact that we're playing Clarke Central.''
For all the tradition Death Valley holds, it's been a while since the Gladiators had a region championship to call their own. Running backs coach Thomas Hanson told the team after Thursday's wind-blown practice that Clarke Central hasn't won an outright region championship since 1989.
DeVane was surprised by that revelation, and said he's ready to start writing a tradition of his own.
''I feel fortunate to be in this position,'' he said. ''It's what we talked about all year, taking care of our business and hopefully getting a chance to win the region. It's here. I can't hardly believe it.''
If Clarke Central can use home-field advantage to its benefit and win tonight, the Gladiators could reap the rewards for two more weeks. A region title would guarantee Clarke Central two home playoff games.
A loss, on the other hand, would drop the Gladiators to third in the region, assuming Cedar Shoals beats Jackson County. That means no guaranteed home playoff games.
''It means everything'' to play at home in the playoffs, Fambro said. ''It's very important. ... When you go on the road, there's nothing like home. When you're on the road, you just can't wait to get home.''
''That's priceless,'' DeVane said, ''and I tell them that in order to be a great team, you've got to win on the road consistently. But you just have to be good to win at home, because you should win at home. We win this one, we have the next two playoff games at home, and that'll be big.''
Winder-Barrow at Clarke Central
When, where: 7:30 p.m., Billy Henderson Stadium
RECORDS: Winder-Barrow 8-1, 8-1 Region 8-AAAA; Clarke Central 8-1, 8-1
KEY PLAYERS: Winder-Barrow - QB Tyler Wilcher (6-foot-1, 175 pounds), FB/LB Bakari Griggs (5-10, 180), RB/DL Scott Harris (6-2, 210). Clarke Central - QB Nelson Browner (5-11, 210), RB Terence Evans (5-10, 175), LB Quincy Marshall (6-0, 230).
LAST YEAR: Clarke Central won 49-7
NOTEBOOK: The winner of this game claims the Region 8-AAAA championship. ... Clarke Central has more to lose than does Winder-Barrow. With a loss, the Gladiators would likely slip to No. 3 in the region, losing a tiebreaker to Cedar Shoals. Winder-Barrow can finish no worse than second and is guaranteed at least one home playoff game. ... Nagging injuries are the only concern for Winder-Barrow. Fullback Bakari Griggs, the team's leading rusher with 793 yards, injured his tailbone in the 11-10 win over Cedar Shoals, but will play. Coach Brian Allison said there is some lingering pain for Griggs, but expects no problems. ... Running backs coach Thomas Hanson told the Clarke Central team after practice that his research shows the Gladiators haven't won a non-shared region championship since 1989.

Hi everyone. This might be a little long but I have some things that I really need to get some advice on. Hopefully someone can somewhat relate and give me some advice or resources on what to do.
My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in early febuary of this year. It came as a huge shock to all of us. I live out of state and have not seen her for over six months. But we have always been EXTREMLY close and talk on the phone 4-5 times a day. She currently has a boyfriend who shes been having problems with for over a year. (Sleeping separte, constant fighting exc.) Well she was having some pain in her lower back for a couple months and told me over and over she was fine but this pain was there. Me and my siblings were always on her to go to the dr. But she never would. He live in boyfriend was aware of this and never dragged her to the dr. Just gave her a heating pad. Well one Sunday the pain became so severe that she woke up in severe pain and went to the ER. My sibling works there and made her go in. During this visit they discovered she has Colon Cancer with mets to Liver, Lungs and Kidney. One tumor is so large that it has shut down one kidney. These symptoms along with a 20-25 lb weight loss since i last saw her. This all went by the waste side with her BF. When I heard the news, I immediatley got on a plane and spent everyday and night with my mother in the hospital. I was away from my family and my job for almost three weeks with my mom. In turn I had to lose my job exc. This was all fine to me, because my mother needed me and my husband understood. Long story short, She was given a prognosis of a about a month. She made the desicion to move in with me due to the relationship she was in. (He never spent one night or more than one hour in hospital, but took off work and sat at home.) He was not involved at all in anything. I had to set up Hospice, Disability, Medicaid exc. So I packed up her clothes and some personal belongings and drove up to my house which took about 2 days. She was so lessed stressed and back to being the strong positive woman I know.

John Cooper, 27, is having a tough few years in real estate. The Roseville, Calif, agent came into the business shortly before the top of the market then saw his sales drop off in 2006. Next, he lost his house. Payments on his adjustable rate mortgage jumped from $1,300 a month to $2,000. Cooper, who owed more than the home was worth, let the house go into foreclosure.
Recently, Cooper has gotten busy again, but all of listing are so-called short sales [i.e., the sales price is less than the mortgage owed,] which involve more work and can take double or triple the time to complete than a typical house purchase. "Investors stay away from short sales," says Cooper. "It takes too much time."
Realtors around the country have for the past few years been dealing with the double blow of sinking home prices and falling transactions. That has not only led to lower pay checks and a drop in the number of real estate agents nationwide, but also a rise in foreclosures among realtors themselves. (Read "Four Steps to Ending the Foreclosure Crisis".)
Still, while a growing number of agents are dealing with the loss of their homes, others are optimistic that the end of the end of the real estate bust may be near. Sales are up as much as 30% in many of the hardest hit markets, such as Los Angeles, Miami and Phoenix, in the past few months. "October was our best month in a year in a half," says John Huebner, a real estate broker in Orlando, who manages three Century 21 offices. "And this is the time of year when sales are traditionally slowing."
Real estate agents came together this past weekend to lick their collective wounds and get a bit of communal support. The National Association of Realtors was holding its annual conference, hopefully entitled "Destination: Success." Lionel Richie performed and recently unretired bicyclist Lance Armstrong gave a motivational talk. Despite the optimistic theme and the headline guests, attendance was down 20% from a year ago to 20,000 real estate agents. In all, NAR president Charles McMillan says the number of working real estate agents has dropped about 10% nationwide to 1.24 million, from a peek of 1.37 million two years ago.
Worse, real estate professionals from around the country say they have seen a growing trend of agents, like so many other homeowners, in housing distress. Ray Caddell, a broker in Charlottesville, Virginia, says he was recently asked to do an appraisal on a distressed property by a bank. When he looked up the address he found out that the homeowner who was behind on his mortgage was a fellow agent. He says his local association of real estate agents is looking into raising a fund to help brokers in need. "It's tough out there in the real estate world," says Caddell. "We are trying to figure out what we can do to help our fellow agents."
While foreclosures continue to grow nationwide, there are no official numbers of how many of those foreclosures are on homes owned by real estate professionals. Darren Duarte, a spokesperson for the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of American, which provides free mortgage counseling, says his organization has helped numerous real estate agents who are struggling to keep their homes.
Tara Ebbert, 38, a real estate agent in Roseville, Calif., was forced to put her house on the market earlier this year. It has yet to sell, but she figures she will lose most or all of the $75,000 she put down on the house when she bought it a few years ago. "It is what it is," says Ebbert. "It's a part of life and I am not going to dwell on it."
Realtors typically don't get paid a base guaranteed salary. Generally, they are paid a percentage of the commission they bring in for their firm when a home sale is completed. That means when there are no sales, real estate agents typically don't collect a paycheck.
Huebner of Orlando says he has had a number of agents in the past year who have lost their houses to foreclosure. Many, too, have just decided to leave the business. In the past two years, the ranks of agents in his offices have shrunk to 130 from a high of 170. The slower market of the past two years has also forced him to cut costs. He closed one of his four offices and eliminated most his print advertising. In order to survive, Huebner says many of remaining brokers have changed what they do. They have gotten out of the residential sales businesses, and into commercial real estate or helping people find rentals. "It's harder to make a sale than it was," says Huebner. "But people have to live somewhere."
Cooper's own experience with foreclosure may be making him a better real estate agent. He now specializes in selling homes where the buyer owes more than the house is worth. He has closed 18 sales so far this year, and believes he will complete another 4 transactions in the next month. "I'm the busiest I have ever been," says Cooper.
He rents now, but hopes he will soon have enough money to buy a house again. He is even thinking about using his 401(k) retirement account to buy investment properties. "This probably the greatest time ever to buy a house," says Cooper. Let's hope so.

Working towards Usable Forms on the World Wide Web: Optimizing Date Entry Input Fields
Department of Psychology, Center for Cognitive Psychology and Methodology, University of Basel, 4055 Basel, Switzerland

When an interactive form in the world wide web requires users to fill in exact dates, this can be implemented in several ways. This paper discusses an empirical online study with n = 172 participants which compared six different versions to design input fields for date entries. The results revealed that using a drop-down menu is best when format errors must be avoided, whereas using only one input field and placing the format requirements left or inside the text box led to faster completion time and higher user satisfaction.

NEWCASTLE boss Alan Pardew is battling with more injury problems ahead of his first return to St Mary's this Sunday.
Ben Arfa and Papa Cisse both went off injured during last night's 1-1 home Europa League draw against Maritimo that assured the Magpies of qualification for the knockout stages..
Pardew said: "Ben Arfa's is a hamstring problem, so it will definitely keep him out on Sunday, and probably next week. I don't know from then on.
"I don't think it's a tear, according to the doctor, so it's not a long injury, but it will certainly keep him out for the immediate future.
"Cisse got a kick on the thigh and he was starting to limp with it because it tightened up over half-time, so unfortunately I had to take him off when I didn't really want to.
"With no striker on the bench, it was proving problematic."
Pardew will be able to welcome back midfielder Cheick Tiote from his European suspension for the game at the St Mary's Stadium, but skipper Fabricio Coloccini will sit out once again as he completes his three-game domestic ban.
Pardew has not given up hope of topping Europa League Group.
Victory over bottom-of-the-table Maritimo at St James' Park last night would have sent them to Bordeaux next month needing only a point to finish top of the pile.
However, substitute Fidelis' late equaliser, coupled with a 2-1 win for the Frenchmen over Club Brugge in Belgium means it is they who will take top spot if they avoid defeat.
Pardew will now turn his attention to Sunday's Barclays Premier League trip to former club Saints with injury and suspension biting deep into his squad, but is not ready to concede the group to Bordeaux.
He said: "The Bordeaux game, to be honest, if I took my strongest team there, it probably would still be difficult to try to win there.
"Nevertheless, we will go there with a team to win it. But I have to concentrate on the Premier League now.
"Our fans were singing, 'We're going up the league' - well, we need to win a game to go up the league, and we need to start on Sunday."
Newcastle looked to be on their way to victory when, with 23 minutes played, Frenchman Hatem Ben Arfa slid an inviting pass into compatriot Sylvain Marveaux's run and looked on as he sprinted away from full-back Ruben Ferreira before finishing neatly.
But routine wins have been few and far between for the Magpies this season and after seeing a 37th-minute Papiss Cisse strike ruled out for offside, they wilted.
Their cause was not aided by the premature departures of both Ben Arfa and Cisse either side of half-time, and Maritimo sensed an opportunity.
They eventually forced their way back into the game with 11 minutes remaining when Fidelis blasted past the fatally exposed Tim Krul, and the striker might have snatched victory at the death when he volleyed across the face of goal.

Second City is getting a second go-round.
The fabled comedy troupe, which hit La Jolla Playhouse last March with its "Laugh Out Loud Tour," will return to the theater next spring -- this time with a show called "Laughing Matters."
As with the last gig, the show will unfold in a cabaret-style space designed within the Playhouse's Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre.
The piece, the theater says, will feature "best-of" sketches and other material culled from the Chicago-based company's 53-year history.
The show runs March 20-23, with performances at 8 p.m. Wednesdays-Fridays and 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturdays. Tickets are $30-$55. More info: (858) 550-1010 or LaJollaPlayhouse.org.
One other Playhouse note: Check out this New York Times piece on Rob McClure, who is reprising his title role in "Chaplin" (formerly known as "Limelight: The Story of Charlie Chaplin") on Broadway. McClure originated the part in the show's La Jolla world premiere two years ago.
"Chaplin" is now in previews at New York's Ethel Barrymore Theatre. It opens Sept. 10.

text: I started 2 pork bellies curing 8 days ago. They are dry. No juices have escaped. Is this a normal thing? My cure was applied dry and I checked the math and the ratios are correct I even asked in a post Here: Brining bacon in a bag? The temperature is sitting at 3C. They are in zip-lock bags and get turned daily. I noticed the butchers bag with the belly had some liquid in it. I will check with him to see if for some weird reason they were pre-cured(long shot I know). I am sure I am worrying for no reason but NO liquid? Gus

Now this has given me some interesting ideas. Time for Science! Nice work, and although near perfect, I found at the last part, where the lyrics move in sync with the audio is a teeny bit off. This is me playing it with nothing else. Possibly vista's fault.
It could be vista I guess, I spent alot of time having all of the words allign with the audio. I guess next time I make a animated clip or something I'l find some way to get around the issue.
Thank you very much for the review.

I really liked this, funny song, funny animations, ( even though in the beginning it could be better ), but i liked it, and i'm gonna give it 9 stars, also i'll rate it as 4
Thank you for the review :D
Glad you enjoyed the movie.

Great Song
The song was amusing in a tongue-in-cheek way. The video was OK. You should fix the soundtrack. It is way out of synch and really detracts from viewing the flash.
This is actually an annoying issue for me; The sync is near perfect but when people watch it but click on a different tab or something the sync gets messed up. I got no idea how this is happening.
Thanks for the review though, glad you liked the song :D

I've stalked these letters for years now. It's presence is undeniable as it carries a significant voice over the city it watches. The journey however is never without a price, sometimes literally.
The sound of a loud voice coming through a bull horn shouting " get off the hill or you will be arrested" is all a part of the gig. But what makes this climb to the top of MT. Hollywood worth it? What's worth being potentially arrested and fined over? After all we know the sign exists and we've seen thousands of shots of it before. However, my interest in these iconic letters is in essence or at least its perceived essence. In a sense its defined an entire period of time that ironically is in a constant state of flux. It's symbol alone conjures up thoughts of fame, promise and heartbreak. For most it's the latter but never the less it is a dream with dramatic out comes regardless.
As I said my focus has always been to bring the signs energy to the shot. For me its about defining what that is. What type of feeling or mood exists within its perception and mine. I know one thing for sure and that is every dream has a price. Where there is sun, darkness will follow. I never wanted my shots to feel like something out of a Disney film and at the same time I didn't want them to read completely dark either. There's hope but you have to make it through the forest first type of thing. There's inspiration in a silver lining but I'm also interested in the moody road traveled to get to it. I like that dynamic. It feels somewhat haunting and mysterious with a sense of sensuality to it as well.
My path to the sign starts out on Beachwood drive. Ironically as you drive up through Beachwood Canyon you will pass the home where a young starlet named Peg Entwistle stayed for a short period of time in the early 1930's. On a late hot summer day in September of "32," Peg not happy with where her acting career was at took the long hike to the sign and climbed to the top of the H where she jumped to her death. Broken down by her dreams Peg tragically gave into the darkness of her pursuit of stardom. As the story goes a telegram was delivered to her home the next day before the news of her death announcing that she would be staring in a film destined to change her career. Today this canyon street is filled mostly with hipsters carrying guitars and aspiring actors and models jogging the streets. No matter what the pursuit may be they are all here waiting under this sign hoping for the best and often stomaching the worst.
I've lived in Los Angeles now for many years and can really say that most of the thrill is gone. I've shot the Hollywood sign from so many different perspective angles. I've stood directly in front of it, behind it, touched it and even chased from it. However, inevitably whenever I've gotten close up to the sign while pointing my camera in its direction something occurs that makes me love ever bit about being a photographer. The hollow mysterious sound of the wind always reminds me that I'm alone but at the same time I'm fully submersed in this thrilling view realizing I only have moments to capture it until I'm either escorted away or arrested. Stretching my body out as far as I can reach for one last shot I religiously hear the sound of Roy Schneider's voice from one of the last scenes of Jaws as he points his gun at the charging shark and fires away while saying "smile you son of a bitch." As I dig into the soft and unstable hill side trying to maintain balance I start setting up for one more composition. I remain committed while never looking over my back to see if the coast is clear. I'm thrilled to be here and the hope is to find a shot that feels as timeless as this sign.

User talk:Paula
Just a reply to the stuff on my talk page:
1. Fine I relent on the airports but I condensed the information. No need to describe the airports in detail in the country article. Do that in the city articles.
I hope this cleared the air a little and I certainly do not wish to have any animosity with you. Cheers. Superdog 02:34, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
Welcome, external links
Hello Paula! Welcome to Wikitravel.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.
Thanks for your work on South Korea, but please don't make deep links to http://english.visitkorea.or.kr (or any other site, for that matter). Eg. Insadong is supposed to be covered in our very own Seoul article, not other travel guides. Jpatokal 01:38, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
Wikitravel's policy is that we generally accept only primary external links. This means that links to the official homepages of tourist attractions, museums, district offices, airports, ferry terminals etc are welcome. However, links to other travel guides are generally not welcome. This means that you can link to eg. the website of the Port of Incheon (a primary link), but you should not link to the KNTO page about the Port of Incheon (a secondary link). In all cases, though, the most important information (eg. phone number, how to get there, prices) should be copied to Wikitravel itself. Jpatokal 05:48, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
Please use the standard Revised Romanization for any Korean phrases for consistency. There's a handy conversion tool at [1], just punch in the hangeul and it will give you the correct transliteration. Jpatokal 04:11, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
I really don't want to bring Wikipedia's edit wars here, and that's why I don't want a lengthy history section for Dokdo. Please summarize your concerns on Talk:Dokdo if you object with what I've written. Jpatokal 08:05, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
Map of Korea
Image:사본 -kor map03.jpg is a nice-looking map, but do you really have permission from the KTO to license it under Creative Commons? It will be deleted if you don't. Jpatokal 03:46, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
Hi Paula... I noticed that you reverted my edit to Ulleungdo. Was there any specific reason for this? Has the tourist ferry service been suspended? If so, could you type that into the summary box as a reason for your edit... If you do that, I'll no longer revert this specific edit... Much appreciated... Cheers... WindHorse 06:10, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
Temples in Korea
Re: North Gyeongsang and a few others, temples like Buseoksa should not get their own articles, unless they're so huge and remote that they don't make sense in a city (eg. Guinsa). Please place them in the nearest city, like Yeongju in the case of Buseoksa, instead. Jpatokal 12:34, 11 November 2008 (EST)
Incheon Airport
Incheon Airport is on Yeongjong Island, so the airport is best covered there. The Seoul article should discuss how to get from ICN to Seoul, and the Incheon article should discuss how to get from ICN to Incheon city. Jpatokal 02:56, 15 December 2008 (EST)
Edit Warring
Your contributions of late have been composed of little other than edit warring. Edit wars are undesirable -- please leave the article alone until a suitable compromise or discussion can be pursued. There is no harm in allowing discussion to precede minor notions of correctness. -- Colin 01:17, 6 January 2009 (EST)
Rogue Bureaucrat
I would like to address some ongoing issues with a particular bureaucrat and one of his admins. The general idea is he follows me around and basically harasses me whenever I make an edit to one of his pages. He seems to need the last word on all the edits. I'm finding this a little perplexing since I thought it was understood that edits can be made and that factual information matter. Frankly, I think it's getting a little personal and the boundaries of fairness and good sense are being breached. I've written the details in a letter I have sent to your Wiki email since I thought it would be too much for this talk page. I am a travel writer and enjoyed working on this site very much initially. However it's become a demoralizing and draining experience lately. It's unfortunate and would hope to return to my original opinion on the task. ThanxPaula 20:02, 22 January 2009 (EST)

CNC horn GB, intrested?
I have met a guy online who posts on this site. He was selling a pair of speakers that he desgined and cut out using CNC. They were built similar to the Japanese DIY horn kits. My question is if we could convince this gentalman to cut out kits for us would you guys want to buy one?
If there are enough of us the next question would be what horn design would we want to try?
The most difficult part is trying to choose... so many plans & so many variables. Anyone have the Japanese horn links handy?
I've found it....
DJNUBZ, do you have a horn design in mind you would like to try for your next project? Maybe this will be the icebreaker...:smash:
actualy their 191 and 181 look like good canidates. I wish some guys in here with more experience would jump in. I was thinking that to keep the costs down only the center peices would be cut out and the builder would supply his outer peices.
You're right, DJNUBZ; the MM-181T & MM191T looks like good candidates because the 181 is for FE168E, FE168ES, FE166E and the 191 is for FE208ES, FE208E, FE206E, etc... In terms of the pieces, the horn would not be complete without the sides. Any ideas where a drawing for the 181, 191 can be posted?
I emailed the people at that site not long ago they were very helpful but the cost to get spearkers sent here is sky high. The smallest all wood BH was $230.00 + $209.00 shipping the cool ones with the clear plexie sides are over $600.00 and thats with out speakers! I think I just might buy a router and have at it and build my own, I can mess up a few sheets of mdf for 6 bills.:skull: :Pirate:
land, we are talking about having the same design made for us here in the states on a CNC machine. Why would you do it yourself if you could bypass the shipping from japan?
I'd like to try one...
Great idea to get a group to go together and have the kit cut for us and I think layertone has done some interesting work already...
Has a design been settled on yet?
I registered for this site just so I could post to this thread...
Again a good idea.
I think there are too many variables; maybe I should start off with the recomended enclosures??
can anyone post a picture of this cabinet?
The one on the link is too pixleated (sp)
is anyone able to enlarge it? or clean it up, or post a better pic?
If possible driectly from the side.
Oh, and supply external dimensions of the case.
If i can see it better, and know the overall size, i can work it out and make one. If it works well then great. Woods cheap and i have a router so nothing lost if it turns out bad.

This research study is being conducted to examine retinal structure and function in individuals with Stargardt disease.
Stargardt disease is the most common form of juvenile inherited macular degeneration. It is marked by the gradual loss of cone cells (the cells that give us high-acuity daytime vision) in the macula (central vision), while peripheral (side) vision is preserved. Central vision loss is typically noted before 20 years of age.
This non-invasive imaging study may include one or more visits to the Eye Institute. Research volunteers will be asked to complete an ocular health questionnaire and a series of vision tests, and may be asked to give a blood sample to test for the mutations that cause Stargardt disease. In addition, we will use various imaging devices to take pictures of the eye – including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography, and adaptive optics retinal imaging. At least one eye will be dilated during the visit. There is no direct health benefit to volunteers. Each visit typically takes about 3 hours.
Research volunteers will receive $15 per hour for their time.

Thanking you......
Sorry, you're not going to have much success when dealing with pdf files.
It can be done, but isn't pretty.There is a good discussion of this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/927992/javascript-and-css-lightbox-that-can-view-pdfs
Also check his out: http://www.artviper.net/website-tools/bumpbox-lightbox.phpIt bills itself as "a lightbox clone with support for PDF", but I've no idea how effective it is.
Please report back if you get this working, as it would be interesting to find out how.

Bills' defensive line turns Dolphins into pushovers
The Buffalo Bills held a dance party in the Miami Dolphins' backfield Sunday.
Who had the best sack celebration? The award went to Buffalo's Kyle Williams, who did an impersonation of the semi-famous strut of professional wrestling superstar Ric Flair after taking down Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the fourth quarter.
Williams had been joking around with his teammates this week about what he might do if he got two sacks in the game to reach 10 for the season.
"I said, 'I'll do Ric Flair's Nature Boy dance,' and they bet I wouldn't," Williams said. "I did it; a little tribute to the Nature Boy. We all laughed about it."
"I didn't think he had as much rhythm as he did," said a smiling Marcell Dareus. "But he pulled it together. I'd give him a 10 out of 10."
Yuk, yuk. It was laughs all around the Buffalo locker room after the Bills embarrassed the Dolphins, 19-0, on a cold, wet day at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
NFL coaches like to say the game is all about matchups.
Boy, did the Bills exploit a mismatch in the 100th meeting with their AFC East rivals.
The strongest unit on the Bills' team is the defensive line. Buffalo entered the game with a league-high 49 sacks. The Dolphins' weakest unit is their offensive line. Miami entered the game with a league-high 51 sacks allowed.
The former dismantled the latter. That advantage trumped every other factor in the game, including the fact the Bills were starting backup quarterback Thad Lewis and Miami had all the motivation on its side, sitting in the driver's seat for a wild-card playoff berth.
The loss dealt a blow to the playoff hopes of the Dolphins (8-7). The Bills improved to 6-9.
Buffalo sacked Tannehill seven times to push its season total to a team-record 56. The Bills held Miami to 103 total yards, the lowest by a Bills opponent in nine years and the fifth lowest ever against Buffalo. Miami managed just six first downs and 14 rushing yards, both second lowest ever allowed by a Bills defense.
"They clearly outplayed us at the line of scrimmage," said Miami coach Joe Philbin. "That's where football starts, and they played well. Give credit to them."
Miami center Mike Pouncey is the only Dolphins lineman who could be considered a quality starter.
Miami left tackle Bryant McKinnie, who took over when Jonathan Martin walked out during the team's bullying scandal, looks washed up at age 34. Veteran right tackle Tyson Clabo has flopped in his first year in Miami, allowing 11 sacks by unofficial count. Right guard John Jerry lacks mobility. Left guard Sam Brenner, subbing for suspended star Richie Incognito, was making just his fourth career start.
The unit was ripe for the Bills' onslaught.
"We have a good combination of players and scheme," said Kyle Williams. "We have players who can win and put pressure on in one-on-one situations. Then we've got blitz packages that can cater to taking advantage of what an offense doesn't do well. We have a good mix."
Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine unleashed his attack on Tannehill right from the start.
On the third play from scrimmage, safety Da'Norris Searcy joined three defensive linemen in a four-man rush and sacked Tannehill for a 7-yard loss.
"It was a play designed for me to blitz coming off Kyle," Searcy said. "Kyle did a good job with his stunt and I came free. It was just me and the running back, and I had to make a move on the back. Tannehill almost got away from me but I reached out and grabbed him. It was good to get it started."
That was one of nine plays on which defensive backs rushed the quarterback, by unofficial count.
The Bills have had defensive backs join the rush on 17 percent of pass plays this season, according to News figures. Under last year's conservative scheme, the Bills rushed defensive backs on only about 6 percent of pass plays.
"We were getting them in favorable third downs, so it kind of opens up the playbook on what we can run," Searcy said.
The star of the defensive back rush attack all season has been 5-foot-7 rookie Nickell Robey, because his position covering the slot receiver puts him closer to the quarterback, in better position to rush.
Most of the year, Robey's rushes have helped other Bills get advantageous one-on-one matchups. In this game, Robey had two sacks of Tannehill. On the first, late in the second quarter, he timed his rush across the line of scrimmage perfectly and produced a 7-yard loss.
On the second, late in the game, he sacked Tannehill for another 7-yard loss. The Dolphins actually kept seven men in to block on that play but still couldn't hold off the five-man Bills blitz.
"He's a small guy, you can't really see him," said Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin. "If you can't see him, there's not time to block him; he's going to get there."
Robey actually knocked over 6-foot-6 Mario Williams on one of his rushes.
"He's a loose cannon, tackling me and everything," Mario Williams joked. "He doesn't just want to tackle the opposing team, he'll tackle his own team. He definitely was flying around."
Mario Williams had one sack, a bull-rush against McKinney, to push his season total to 13. Hughes' sack, also against McKinney, gave him 10 for the year.
Kyle Williams whipped Brenner with an inside move for his first sack. Brenner was benched in the second quarter in favor of Nate Garner. He got his second on a twist, rushing around left tackle while Mario Williams cut to the inside.
The Bills are the first NFL team since 2000 to have three players with 10 or more sacks.
"With the front we have, I feel like every week we have a chance," said Searcy. "Whether we bring pressure or not, those guys are capable of taking over a game just by themselves."
Miami, which yielded 11 sacks in losing two games to the Bills, will testify to that.

Welcome to the Kimye-Amber Rose Peace Accords… or something like that. Last night, both Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West's ex Rose posted a selfie together, evidently squashing the Twitter beef between Mr. Kim Kardashian — Kanye West — and Rose, West's ex-girlfriend. You may remember that West mocked Rose in his Twitter beef with Wiz Khalifa, at which point Rose blasted West in a blistering mic-drop-worthy rebuttal. Since then, West apologized for bringing Rose and Khalifa's child into the debate.
Related: Kanye West Vs. Wiz Khalifa Tweet Beef Explained
Kardashian's caption, "Tea anyone?" was subtle while Rose's broader comic sensibilities went for broke with "Swingers." The sportsmanlike show of content creation could represent any (or all) of these hot takes:
- A moving testament to the power of forgiveness.
- A shrewd and calculating ploy for even more attention.
- Kris Jenner's idea.
- Evidence that peace in the Middle East is possible.
- True Detective Season 3.
- Synergy.
Whatever insight you glean from the content war's conclusion (or temporary ceasefire) you have to hand it to Kim and Amber—they look great. And it looks like they're both taking the high road and acting like, you know, adults.

text: I just saw this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...=4550525969&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1 I was going to bid but decided not too because it needed a $500 deposit (all his buy it now auctions require a $500 deposit). Im guessing they messed up on the auction and accidently put the Buy It Now to $500. All his other auctions start around $5,000 and then buy it now is the actual value. His feedback is 99.5% with 3423 sales. Wondering what would happen here? Isnt it a contract? Wouldnt the seller have to sell the cobra for that price? Hopefully not because I woulda bid, its sold now.

Brakhax2 Presents the New Economy
My favorite creative genius team, Brakhax2, will be unveiling their stunning photographic series "New Economy" this weekend at Gallery 3209 in Los Angeles. I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing project, and thus, the photographs of yours truly will appear on the gallery walls. If you are in LA, please join us Saturday night from 6-9PM for this special event {or venture out any time until February 11 to take a gander}.
Gallery 3209 proudly presents the first ever gallery exhibition of the compelling collaboration between legendary photographer Moshe Brakha and his son, emerging artist Eddie Brakha, with their series New Economy.
New Economy is a collision of raw emotional energy from the original punk patriarch and his academic punk son who constructs a conceptual and narrative framework within his father's visual process. The two perspectives strike a brashbalance, refining one another's attitudes in their combination.
Stephanie Goldfinger Models for Brakhax2Brakhax2 transforms me into Mama Web
Life lesson: When an über talented world-renowned photographer shoves a pacifier in your mouth, you roll with it.
Today, the wildly amazing team of Moshe & Eddie Brakha {Brakhax2} went Goldfinger for their Sketchy Mondays series, featuring a duo of fascinating and fabulous photos of yours truly:

Why did he scratch a "B"?
We've all heard the story about the woman in Pennsylvania who was allegedly attacked by a robber who then became irate at her bumper sticker and scratched a "B" in her face. Put me down as a skeptic, along with Ann Althouse and Michelle Malkin.
Aside from the reasons they gave, why wouldn't the attacker make an "O"? The Obama "O" is as ubiquitous as a Christian crucifix* these days. Why would someone choose the other letter, especially when it is harder to do?
*yes, I chose the imagery on purpose.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut
tenants rights
My landlord is selling the house I live in. As far as Real Estate Agents go, am I obligated to let them in to my apartment without an appointment when they knock at my door? Also, can they have access to my apartment without my consent when I am not at home? Where can I look up Connecticut General Statutes Section 47a-16? Thanks
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: tenants rights
Much of it depends on what your lease says. Basically, however, you can't unreasonably withhold permission for the landlord (or his realtor) to enter the premises to show it. However, the showing has to be at a reasonable time and after you've been given reasonable notice. I don't think it's unreasonable for you to insist on being there, but nights and weekends are fair game. You should be able to find the statute on the state's website, or at any public library.
