Vehicle vandalized in suspected price tag attack in Yokne'am.

Three teenage yeshiva students from Yitzhar were indicted for a "price tag" incident in April, during which the tires of 44 cars were slashed and anti-Arab graffiti was sprayed, in the village of Gush Halav in northern Israel.The indictment, which was presented at the Nazareth juvenile court, says that the three acted out of "racism and hostility towards the Arab public" and that the three carried out the act in part as a reaction to the demolition of three structures in Yitzhar in April.

Oukitel K6000 Pro sports a 5.5-inch 1920×1080 resolution IPS display, with about 401 pixels per inch. The display takes up about 71% of the front of the device as well. Powering the K6000 Pro, we're looking at the MediaTek MT6753 octa-core processor, which is clocked at 1.3GHz, and that is paired with the Mali-T720 GPU. 3GB of DDR3 RAM is tossed in for good measure. Storage includes 32GB of internal memory, of which, about 24GB is available to the user. There is also a microSD card slot available, for expanding the storage capacity.
Cameras on the K6000 Pro include a 13-megapixel camera on the back. This is an OmniVision OV13850 sensor. It also sports an aperture of f/2.0. It does sport an interpolated resolution of 16MP, however. The front-facing camera is a 5-megapixel shooter, which has an interpolated resolution of 8MP. It is the OmniVision OV5670 sensor, and has an aperture size of f/2.2.
As far as Connectivity goes, we're looking at GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS for location and tracking. WiFi includes 802.11 b/g/n. Bluetooth 4.0 is supported as well as A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). Sensors included are the Proximity, Light, Accelerometer and Fingerprint sensors (more on those later). All of this is powered by a 6,000mAh non-removable battery.
Inside the Oukitel K6000 pro's box are some quite familiar components except for the reverse charge cord and the extra screen protector, you'll also find a pin for ejecting the SIM/TF card frame, the big 5v/7v/9v-2A output charger, the USB cord, user guide, warranty certificate and the K6000 pro device that was carefully parked with a rubber case.
The Oukitel K6000 Pro finishes with a pretty premium design, the lower area at the back where the loud speaker is located and the upper side where you'll find the camera and dual LED flash are both covered with plastic while the battery area which is also where the Fingerprint sensor is located is covered up with metal. Around the border is a full shiny metal chassis, melded to fit the 2.5D curved screen perfectly.

We must be going bananas…this is our third Plain Gardening episode on bananas! We talked about growing and pruning, and now it's time for the fruit. Gardening expert Bill Finch says now is a time to be patient.
Older banana plants may fruit early. Once the bananas emerge, it can take up to 90 days for them to mature and fatten up. In the meantime, a large reddish flower will develop at the bottom of the stalk. Bill says some people like them—the flower is large and unusual—but if you don't care about the aesthetics, you can cut it off and allow more of the plant's energy to go toward making bananas.
Taking off the large flower also means removing a large weight that could cause the tree some problems in windy tropical weather. If you cut any part of a banana tree, it's drippy. And the fast-flowing sap is hard to get out of clothing…so wear old garden clothes for this job.
The little banana-looking structures just above the flower are an old mechanism that the banana plant used to use to pollinate itself. Don't worry if that part doesn't develop any further.
Once you've harvested the fruit, cut the banana stalk down to the ground. New ones are probably sprouting up around the old stalk, and they'll be next year's banana producers.
If you've ever wondered why no one grows bananas from seeds, it's because we humans have cultivated bananas for so long, we've eliminated their ability to cross-pollinate. They no longer make seeds!
Learn more about bananas…in fact, go bananas and call Bill's radio show Sunday mornings from 9-11 on 106.5FM or email email@example.com.

Dance Gazette recently asked international directors from the world of dance to think of ways to add "oxygen to the museum-grade air that preserves classical ballet". Should there be a moratorium on The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty? Not surprisingly, there were squeals of anguish from ballet lovers at the very idea, just as there are when moratoriums on Shakespeare are suggested.
In a fascinating blog, David Jays looks to theatre for ways that classical dance might refresh itself, pointing to the fact that theatre directors (you might add writers, too) find endless ways to reinvent Shakespeare and other plays. It's true that theatre is far less embalmed than ballet or opera, perhaps because of our emphasis on a new-play culture, and also because, in recent years, some of our most interesting theatre-makers have widened the tools that they use and have sought to reinvent the relationship between themselves and audiences.
The tension between old and new can often be a healthy one. They don't have to be in opposition. Just because something is new, that doesn't necessarily make it more interesting than something very old. Things survive in our theatre culture for a reason: generally because they are very good, or very plastic, or both. A great revival will remind us why we love these shows, why they have a place in the repertoire, and make us see them afresh. Headlong's recent The Seagull was a brilliant example of that. The young man sitting next to me was astonished when I told him at the interval that the play we were watching was more than 100 years old.
But when you have – as we do in theatre – a really rich repertoire, it can mean that other kinds of work, such as non- or less text-based theatre including live art, circus, street arts, cross-boundary and digital art, are squeezed of space and funding.
At No Boundaries last week, Ruth Mackenzie suggested that digital art is currently in a place a bit like film before Eisenstein turned up. That's exciting. Circus is another art form that seems as if it is on the cusp of a potential explosion. Theatre-makers are constantly testing form and finding new ways to tell stories and engage audiences. Theatre has changed more in the past decade or so than it did in the previous 50 years. We live in exciting times.
This presents a major problem: theatre in its many forms is blooming at the very time when funding is being squeezed. The triple threat comes from a decrease in government investment, the move by some local authorities to disinvest in the arts (Nottingham county council is the latest, with Nottingham Playhouse losing all of its investment), and decreasing lottery sales. The question is how, in such challenging times, do you protect legacy but also enable the future by supporting those at the grass-roots level and those taking creative risks? How do you make what money there is work best, not just for audiences and artists today but also for future generations?
Given that we did so little to realign the funding system during the good times, when funding was increasing, the danger now, when funding is not, is that we become fixated on the past and on our heritage. The urge to protect what already works, what is already established and what has become part of our cultural fabric, is a strong one. Understandable, too. It feels like the safest option.
I'm not suggesting for a moment that we should cease to celebrate, cherish and, indeed, support our rich theatre culture – and that includes what has gone before. But by playing it too safe, hunkering down and not shifting investment into grassroots, new forms and genuine risk-taking productions, there is a real possibility that you will destroy theatre's many possible and as yet undreamed of futures. And there's not much comfort in contemplating the richness of your past if there is no sustainable future.

An Inner Storm
Just short of that famed rod-iron gate the silver Porsche comes to a halt, the entrance to the home of Jonathan Elwood Macloney III. The initials "J. M." embedded in the gate identifying him, also known as "Johnny Mac" since his birth, as the owner of that residence situated in the center of Macloney Drive. His neighbors refer it to, near and far, as simply "the mansion."
The remote button pressed, the gate slides open, allowing the silver Porsche to wind its way up the long, curved driveway as the north wind whistles through the trees. The car stops in front of the mansion where much of Johnny Mac's free time is spent, alone.
There in his Porsche he remains momentarily, meditatively upon his house – his own creation, built with pride, earning the envy of everyone he knew… yet, he frowned. Whom did he really know? Jennifer? No, he had spent so much time and effort building the business, designing the projects, and making money that he'd neglected learning to understand people. He had no contacts outside the office, other than those who envied him. He thought that was all his happiness needed. There he sat, on that cold December night, recalling his evening's pleasure, totally immersed in wealth, yet dreadfully alone.
How he would have enjoyed learning to know his secretary well, becoming so close that they might share something real instead of the dry relationship they maintained in the office. She always accepted his invitations to dinner, but nothing ever came of those, no matter how he would have liked it to.
Not a different evening
This evening was no different. She talked about a lot of things, including their mutual friend, his office manager, Michael. Johnny Mac's contribution was barely small talk, largely about the stormy weather brewing outside.
Although he had noticed her dimpled smile and shimmering blue eyes, he couldn't look into those eyes romantically and say, "Jennifer, I need to hold you." He didn't know how. He did acknowledge, "Our times out together have been few and far between." She nodded in agreement. But where was he to go from there?
Nor could he put his arms around her as they watched a parade go down Main Street a few Christmases ago. Standing in front of him, she pulled him close to her, perhaps for warmth, but was this a hint she wanted his arms around her also? If it was, he didn't get it.
Alone in his Porsche, Johnny Mac sighed. He did answer her questions about his habits, but when she asked him about his churchgoing… that was awkward. He hadn't attended church since he was a child; his work took every minute of his time. She and Michael went to church together occasionally, as well as to concerts and on picnics. Johnny Mac did very little of that with Jennifer or anybody.
Looking for a way to evade the issue of his church attendance, just in time the tuxedo-clad waiter approached the table with the check. Whew, he thought. Rather than paying with his credit card, however, Johnny Mac pulled a Ben Franklin from his wallet. "Keep the change," he said, handing the bill to the waiter. The waiter left with a broad smile.
Johnny Mac then returned his attention to Jennifer, smiling. "Shall we leave, lest we get snow-bound?" he asked. "The wind outside sounds mighty fierce." Yet the South's winters were nothing like what he was use to in the North where he grew up.
Outside, in the cold night, Johnny Mac saw another opportunity to embrace her but didn't take it, couldn't. Jennifer hugged herself, pulling her coat collar up around her ears. She's so pretty, Johnny Mac thought, his hands stuffed into his own coat pockets.
Superficially secure
A large raindrop splattered on the windshield of his Porsche, breaking the spell. "Perhaps a storm is coming after all," he said to himself, exiting the car.
Inside his home he found superficial warmth and security. The fire in the fireplace at last ablaze, he reclined in a favorite chair, enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. He turned on the television and watched the evening news. He was amused. The coming of the South's unusual winter storm was every channel's lead story that evening: people rushing home, evacuating the city, jamming the supermarkets, stocking up with canned goods, flashlights, batteries, and fuel. They were preparing for the worst, preparing for the coming doom.
Before long, as the television's eye beamed through the darkened room, Johnny Mac fell fast asleep. In flashes, an inner storm seized his dreams:
The pretty blonde girl on the playground had admired young Johnny Mac. "Johnny has a girlfriend," his sixth grade classmates taunted. Shyly, Johnny Mac denied it...
Bang! Johnny Mac saw his dad flinch from the sudden smash of the fry pan his mom flung at his head. Then the quarreling got intense....
Riding along a ribbon of highways, young Johnny Mac admired all the tall buildings. Someday, he thought, I'm going to build those....
"But it's all going to end," the preacher said. "It will all fall down..." For lack of understanding, at a tender age, fear gripped Johnny Mac. "As in the days of Noah..." the preacher continued. Tossing and turning Johnny Mac looked for a way out....
A dead cold
The fire had longed died to gray ashes when the telephone jolted Johnny Mac out of his sleep. "Oh, man," he yawned, "What a nightmare!" He discovered he had spent the entire night in that recliner.
"Hello," he said sleepily, speaking into the telephone.
"Good morning, Sir," the voice responded.
"Michael?" Johnny Mac answered, surprised that his office manager was calling him so early.
With further conversation, Michael informed Johnny Mac of the weather conditions and urged him to close the office for the day. "Turn on the television, Sir," he said, "and get the reports yourself. Most everything is shut down today, and likely to continue so for a while."
Peering out a frosted windowpane at the snow-covered ground, Johnny Mac responded with a solid, "No." Continuing, he urged Michael, "Keep the office open for all who can make it in. I'll be there myself shortly."
Not golden silence
It was a cold, gray, lifeless drive downtown; the icy streets crackled and crunched beneath the car's tires. The city's skyline silhouetted on the horizon. His own high-rise office building, too, was lifeless and dark; not even Jake the security guard greeted him. Johnny Mac was alone – thirty floors up.
Responding to his answering machine's flashing red light, Johnny Mac played back Michael's message, explaining why he couldn't grant his boss' request. Infuriated, he gazed momentarily out the window behind his desk, noticing all those tall buildings blanketed in icy sheets, like looking into a deep freeze; many of them were his design. Suddenly, the ice-sheeted buildings resembled a motion picture screen, reflecting his childhood memories of the winters in the north: snow-forts, snowball battles with neighbor kids, catching snowflakes on his tongue, making angels in the snow… Oh, what fun! Where has it all gone? He wondered. Where have they all gone?
Turning from the window, he left his office – his inner, semi-private sanctum. Upon Jennifer's desk he turned her "Jesus is the Answer" loose-leaf Scripture calendar to today's date: Friday, December 21, the first day of winter. Yep, he thought, chuckling, winter has definitely arrived all right. "And it's losing me lots of money, too!" he said angrily, his fist pounding the desk. Subconsciously, however, his mind's eye caught other words on that calendar page and pondered, He who has friends must be himself friendly.
Suddenly, a strange stillness filled the room, as if no one was there at all. No more chuckles, no more flashing red lights on the answering machine, no ringing telephone. Nothing. Nobody. Silence, but it wasn't exactly golden. He sat for a while, unsure of the minutes, at Jennifer's desk, head in hands, perplexed. Then, exhausting a deep sigh, he suddenly realized it wasn't worth it with nobody else around.
Breaking the solitude
A week later, the ice and sleet having practically vanished, the downtown streets once again bustled with traffic; the sidewalks held pedestrians, briskly scurrying about their business or pleasure. One would never know the devastation of the former week had it not been for the still lingering frigid air. The sky was clear, blue and sunny.
Jennifer entered Johnny Mac's office, carrying folders of work – letters to be answered, inquiries, etc. – and placed them on his desk. Noticing her boss' sullen appearance, she asked tenderly, "Something bothering you, Johnny?"
"Just concerned about the party tonight at my place," he answered. "I've never done anything like this before. It has always been difficult for me. I always thought I was most happy with my career that brought me all this," he said gesturing about the office of his accomplishments, "and even in my solitude," he continued. "But I was wrong. I'm wondering who will come tonight if anybody will come."
"I saw the announcement on the bulletin board," Jennifer said. "I'm planning to be there. Sounds like fun."
"I was hoping at least you would come," he responded.
"I'll see that others know about the party too," Jennifer assured him.
"Thanks, but it's not required, you know. I mean only if they want to. They must want to come. It's understandable if they don't come. The announcement was almost a last minute thing," Johnny Mac responded shyly. "They may have other plans."
"Sure," Jennifer said, sprouting her dimpled smile, yet a puzzled countenance.
"You're such a good friend; you've always been that to me."
"Thanks, sir." She paused momentarily. Then, with no further word coming, he had turned about peering out the window, she exited the office.
A new day dawns
The preparations done, except for a few last minute touch-ups, Johnny Mac examined it all again. In shimmering foil, HAPPY NEW YEAR hung above the fireplace, a Christmas tree sparkled in the corner, sandwich bits, cookies, etc., and a pink punch ornamented a linen covered table.
All was set. Except for the caterers who waited in the kitchen, Johnny Mac was alone, nervous. Who would come? Would anybody come? He mused. A clock chimed the hour. Any time now. He waited. You can't expect them to come right on the hour. Nobody does. In his favorite recliner he leafed through the pages of a business journal, discovering it was one he had read before, a favorite one, the contents of which he exhausted.
Then, his waiting ended; the doorbell chimed. With a start he looked up at the door. They're here. At least somebody is.
At the entrance of the open door a pretty blonde girl stood, her blue eyes shimmering, her dimpled smile radiant, admiring the man before her.
"Welcome, Jennifer. I'm glad you're here. Come in."
Crossing the threshold, she embraced him. He responded with a generous hug.
Others soon followed, one by one. A new day had dawned, a new year; a new life had begun, as if a lull in a storm.
Ten years later
"Do you think he'll remember us?" Michael McClendon asked his wife, Jennifer, as he pulled up to that famous rod iron gate where behind it stands "The Mansion".
"I'm sure he will," Jennifer answered. "We've been a good influence on him, in his coming to the faith."
"And he's been a good influence on us with those monthly paychecks we've received through those years we've worked for him," Michael chuckled.
"We may look a little different because of the passing of time obviously, but, yeah, sure, he'll remember us. He having not yet seen the kids though, that'll be a surprise to him."
"Hey!" Michael exclaimed. "Look, there's a surprise right there," he pointed, "The gate is already open? Do you think he knew we were coming?"
"Well, for sure he did," replied Jennifer, "Since you called him this morning. But as I have heard, that gate has always been open ever since that New Year's Eve party he threw for his company those many, well I guess, ten years ago now."
"Wow, and look again there. I guess he really did learn how to be friendly," Michael said again noticing a sign as he drove through the gate."
"Right there on the front lawn for all to see," Jennifer beamed sprouting her dimpled simile noticing that sign as well. "WELCOME FRIENDS," she read.
The reunion
The sun was shining brightly that cool spring day – no harsh wind, just a gentle breeze – Holy Week it was, Palm Sunday through to Easter Sunday.
Through that gate, the car wound its way up the familiar long, curved driveway stopping in front of Johnny Mac's house, built with pride earning the envy of all. But all that has changed since the dawning of that new day having begun those many years ago.
Surprised they were to see the wide front door of the house opened. Johnny Mac as well standing outside.
Johnny Mac opening the car door, Jennifer stepping out he greeted her with a friendly hug. "Welcome, Jennifer," Johnny Mac said.
"Thank you Sir," she said, as she opened the car's back door for her young son also to get out. He so eagerly did, that he might meet this "Johnny Mac", whom he have heard his parents talk so much about.
Around from the left side of the car came Michael, holding a little girl's hand. She too sprouted a dimpled smile, she eager also to meet this friend of her parents, their former employer.
"Michael, welcome," said Johnny Mac firmly grasping the hand his office manager of those earlier years.
"Thank you, Sir," Michael responded. "It is good to see you again. It has been a long while."
"Yes, indeed it has. Too long perhaps," Johnny Mac said. "But you can cut with the 'Sir' now – we're friends – no longer am I you guy's 'boss'," he said. "And there's only one sir these days and forever, as you both know – Sir Jesus." Agreeing, Michael and Jennifer nodded.
"And who are these lovely little people?" Johnny Mac asked with a smile, turning to the children, now side by side in front of their mother.
"I think you can guess, Johnny," Jennifer said.
"Yes, of course," responded Johnny. "And what may your name be little girl?"
"Jenny Margaret McClenton," the girl answered, sharing her full name, eyeing up at her mother.
"Well Jenny Margaret McClenton. Is Jenny short for Jennifer?" Johnny Mac than asked. "I mean, after all, with your dimples and blonde hair as Mrs. McClenton here," he nodding toward Jennifer, "you just gotta be named after her, your mother."
"Just Jenny Margaret, Johnny" Jennifer answered, "Not exactly as my name. Yet, named somewhat after me – the Jenny part – and my sister Margaret."
"And how old might you be, Miss Jenny?" Johnny asked. "Ah, let me guess. Um, he said, rubbing his chin, eying up and down little Jenny, "Maybe ten?" he said.
"Yes," Jenny answered, "that's correct."
"And how 'bout your brother here, Miss Jenny. He is your little brother, right?"
"I'm David Michael McClenton," the boy answered, speaking up for himself to the gleam of all. "And I am eight years old. Michael is my daddy's first name."
"Ah, yes, how well I know. Just like you both," Johnny Mac responded eyeing Michael and Jennifer, "you have lovely and intelligent children.
"Ah, well, now," he then suggested, "Let's all go inside, shall we? See I have set before you an open door, inviting you to come and dine." He gestured toward that open front door. "I'd like to catch up with you, and you catch up with me the happenings through the past years, as Molly gets our lunch together. For sure we have a lot of catching up to do.
"I'll let Molly take the children, if you don't mind, give them a tour of the house and perhaps a bit of a snack before we dine. You would like that, won't you children?" The kids rapidly agreed with a beaming positive nod.
Inside Johnny Mac introduced and refreshed again Michael and Jennifer to Molly, his housekeeper – to the kids for the first time – a pleasant African-American woman. She had been with Johnny Mac all the years he owned the company, and still with him now through this more pleasant time for him, even after he sold the company.
The introductions done, Molly offering each a glass of water, she then escorted the children through the house, hand in hand, one on each side of her.
"She'll give the children a good time," Johnny Mac assured.
"We're sure she will," Jennifer replied, Michael agreeing.
Johnny Mac himself then escorted Michael and Jennifer into the parlor. There they seated themselves on a sofa, he perched on his favorite recliner his hands clasped between his knees. Remembrances of the past years freshly revived as they recalled it all again.
The Catching Up
"You two are a lovely couple," Johnny Mac said. "Certainly as I see it now, from God's perspective, you're certainly His choice for one another."
"Sorry I stole your girl Johnny," Michael chuckled, his arm around Jennifer.
"Not my girl, Michael, my secretary," Johnny Mac replied. He too chuckled. "But seriously she's a better fit for you any how, being closer to you in more ways than one. If anything, then, I may have been trying to steal her from you. How wrong I was."
"But that's where it all begins," Michael shared, "just friends first trying to determine God's direction in our friendship."
"And obviously you two have discovered it, with God's greatest blessings, and mine."
"Those two little ones for sure," Jennifer beamed.
"Ah, yeah," Johnny Mac sighed. "Those years are history – a thing of the past. Now I know that too, so many years late.
"You know guys," Johnny Mac continued, "Through all those previous years I realize now that I've been… ah, well, stupid, having been so caught up with the things of this physical, temporal realm. May I count them – those things – before you all?" Michael and Jennifer nodded for him to continue on.
"We would love to hear it all," Michael said. "As much as you would like to share."
"First," Johnny Mac began, "how foolish I've been to be so fascinated by those ribbon of highways – a youthful pleasure I know – weaving their way through a city, winding about all those tall buildings; 'sky scrapers', as such are called. (And to think I've desired to build those.) Realizing it now, truly the design of humankind – truly 'towers of Babel' as the Lord has taught me from His Word, as I have read from Ecclesiastes chapter 11. Ah, my confusion, not grasping the essence of the real life." Johnny paused.
With a deep sigh, and choking back some tears, Johnny Mac continues, "Than comes that 'lustrous' career I thought was so necessary, fattening up my financial portfolio, but for what purpose? That I may relax through my "golden years" – and here I am – now to be merry the rest of my days, however the many more days there are yet to be for me?
"Oh how stupid I've been," Michael, Jennifer, "craving such earthy, temporal stuff – the pleasures of my youth. Oh, wow! Such is a 'fantasy island', as I call it. Or, as the writer of Ecclesiastes has said, 'Vanity of vanities.' And so, my conclusion of the whole matter, apart from the things of God in this temporal, physical 'realm', all such stuff is meaningless, wasted living.
"Ah, but what am I to do about it – with it all now – Michael?" Johnny Mac said, rising from that recliner with a brightened countenance, tears wiped away. "As the Preacher himself realized, concluding, "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil."
"All of this stuff" Johnny Mac's hand spanning about the room, " Was all important to me. But now I think they are worth nothing because of Christ," As the apostle Paul has written, 'I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and now I know they are worthless trash.'
Because of him, I have lost all those things the gate to this "mansion" always being opened, to welcome my friends. This allows me to have Christ and to belong to him, and make Him known. Now I am right with God, not because I followed the law, not because of my earthly pleasures, my earthly stuff, or my own good life, but because I believed in Christ. God uses my faith to make me right with him, and Him known.'
"How great it has been these years since that day. Molly will attest to that. And I thank God for you, Michael and Jennifer.
"Speaking of Molly, there she is waving that it's time to come and dine."
Gesturing to do so the three – Johnny Mac, Michael, and Jennifer – exited the parlor. They reconvened at the dining table, together again with Molly and those precious little ones, Jenny Margaret and David Michael.
That dining table covered with a linen cloth, overlaid with clear plastic, enabling the embroidered words of Scripture of friends and friendship still to be read. The most prominent Scripture, stitched with gold thread, read, "He who has friends must himself be friendly. But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother (See Proverbs 18:24.)

My connection with Celine Dion and the real life Titanic movie necklace
By Celebrity Headhunter Brian Daniel
|How many people can say they held the real-life Titanic movie necklace — a part of motion picture history! Well, I did just that back in 1998 when I got to meet Celine Dion before she sang "My Heart Will Go On" at the Academy Awards.
The real-life $4 million necklace
In the movie, the necklace was named "The Heart of the Ocean," which is inspired by The Hope Diamond (now securely located in the Smithsonian Museum). A little know fact, though, is that James Cameron had an actual replica made with precious gems, which is valued at approximately 4 million-dollars, and it was worn by Celine Dion at the Oscars.
The necklace was made by celebrity jeweler Harry Winston, who was famously mentioned in the Julia Roberts movie "Pretty Woman" when Richard Gere put the diamond encrusted Winston necklace around Roberts' neck (for their San Francisco opera date).
My connection with the necklace
Back in 1998, I worked at the world famous Beverly Hills Hotel (aka The Pink Palace). As a front desk agent and concierge, I got to interact with all of the celebrities and other types of VIPs that checked into the property. At that time, the hotel was a hot spot for Oscar pre- and post-parties, so it was a Mecca for A-listers. The official Miramax party was held in the world-famous Polo Lounge, and that's what gave me unprecedented access to Hollywood's top stars.
|On that fateful night of the official Academy Awards party (just hours before the Oscars were to begin), I was on-duty at the front desk when a well-dressed gentleman approached me and asked to enter the vault (the hotel has a massive walk-in vault to hold the nearly-priceless jewelry of the rich and famous that stay there). Since the gentleman had been standing next to Celine Dion in the lobby only moments before, I figured he was her agent or publicist, so naturally I gave the gentleman my undivided attention and ushered him into the safe room quickly.
We went through the customary signing of documents before he opened the safety deposit box, and the man removed a black velvet box from its niche. I thought nothing of it until I saw the man's hands trembling a bit. He looked at me and said with a smirk, "You want to see something cool?" I said, "Certainly, sir," with anticipation. The man opened the box and revealed to me the actual Titanic necklace. Of course my jaw dropped to the floor.
He proceeded to tell me that the necklace had just been sold for about $4 million (to benifit charity) and he was going to be putting it on Celine Dion before she left to sing "My Heart Will Go On." We left the vault together and, indeed, he placed the necklace on Ms. Dion and she was whisked away in a limo to make Oscar history.
Later that night the man approached me again and detailed his experience of going to the Oscars with Celine (as part of her security detail to protect the necklace). During her performance, Ms. Dion did her famous "chest thump" (occurs at 2 min 20 sec) while belting out a big note and almost broke the necklace because her fist landed directly on the "Heart of the Ocean."
As you are probably aware, James Cameron's Titanic movie was the most expensive film ever made (at that time) costing a whopping $200 million, and was also the highest-grossing movie of all time. Both the record-breaking cost and revenue stream was only broken again by Cameron himself when he made Avatar. Titanic was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and went on to win 11, including Best Director and Best Picture.
Meeting celebrities at the Oscars party
While at the party I got to meet a small army of celebrities including Winona Ryder, Michael Cane, Demi Moore, Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, and Matt Damon & Ben Affleck — who won the Academy Award that year for "Good Will Hunting."

text: Today at SCAD's Crites Hall, Sinéad Cusack delighted, entertained and enlightened performing arts students with tales of her career fears, foibles and fumbles and her trajectory in learning how to craft and deliver her Shakespearean performances. Not only did she make us laugh, she generously gave several tips for practicing investigation, some physical experience of our work and empathy toward the characters (or subjects) we portray. Cusack also took several questions from students, kindly recognizing the plight of the performer, and at once, encouraging them to "try it all" and to lumber courageously up - or through - the mountains they encounter.

The fact that Burgess' tweet was removed just 55 minutes after it was posted tells its own story, but the fact that Burgess chose Twitter to express his frustration with England demonstrates again how those working in professional sport are choosing to feed information straight to supporters rather than use traditional media handlers to issue off-record briefs.
"It is getting harder and harder to control the official line coming from the club," admitted one press officer. "Now everyone at the club has a voice."
Most football clubs have rules on behaviour that the players and staff are expected to follow, which include the use of social networking sites, but it does not stop information from being leaked.
Gerard Houllier's appointment at Aston Villa, for example, was unofficially fed out through a supposed "insider" on Twitter, while social networking sites have been common sand-traps for professional sportsmen.
Darren Bent caused a storm by using his Twitter page, db10thetruth, to engineer a move from Tottenham to Sunderland by lambasting Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
He wrote: "Do I wanna go Hull City NO. Do I wanna go stoke NO do I wanna go sunderland YES so stop f****** around levy [sic]."
It is not just footballers either. Kevin Pietersen let off steam about his omission from England's limited-over squads on his Twitter account, as did Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who revealed he'd been dropped for the third Ashes Test in England before the team sheet had been announced.
Information leaks have given the governing bodies something new to think about, and understandably some have opted to issue bans. The NFL restrict players and coaches - or anyone representing them - from using social media networks from 90 minutes before kickoff to the end of traditional media interviews after games. NFL game officials are banned from using social media at all times.
Then there are those who tried to ban it, but failed. Officials at the US Open posted notices in the player's locker rooms warning them of the dangers of passing inside information about matches in tweet form.
Andy Roddick scathingly replied: "I think it's lame the US Open is trying to regulate our tweeting. I definitely respect the rule about inside info and on court, but you would seriously have to be a moron to send 'inside info' through a tweet."
There was also confusion at the Ryder Cup this year. It had been thought that the only tweeting coming from Celtic Manor would be the Cetti's warbler after Colin "I'm not Tweeter myself" Montgomerie banned his players. He soon retracted the ban after discussing it with his team, and for the rest of the week the European supporters were able to read the likes of Ian Poulter urge them to "rock the house, guys,"
The reason so many sportsmen, such as LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal, use social networking sites is that it is a way of forging a direct link with the public and circumnavigating traditional media outlets. The latest to join the party is Tiger Woods, whose account - @TigerWoods - has suddenly sprung into life after a year of inactivity. At last count he had 119,611 followers, though they were swelling at a rate of 200 a minute.
While followers of Burgess were rewarded yesterday with an authentic glimpse into life at Liverpool, even if the club itself would have preferred the information to have been conveyed with a touch more subtlety, what those who are flocking to Woods will get is another matter. So far they have been treated to the fascinating little tit-bit: "Yep, it's me. I think I like this twitter thing. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the love."

How to Hem: Example Uno
I found there are two ways to hem: the easy way and the hard way. Here is my tutorial of The Easy Way.
First iron the pants to the correct height.
Pin it.
Sew it.
End up with some pinches like this on the inside hem if the pants are flared.
And you are done!

I have the same problem with pants. I am not short, but I have a long torso so my legs are just a bit short for regular pants. I don't have a sewing machine but I think that I might take some pants to my sister's house to see what we can do.

I always hemmed by hand...and hated it. Then I grew to be tall and didn't have to do it. It would have been easier on a machine! (I still would've hated it!) :)

We must be the same height because I have the same problem. The ankle length doesnt quite go far enough. I am going to pull my machine out and give it a test spin. Thanks!

"A Labour government would also bring about a generational change in tax collection, shifting taxation from income to environmental issues. In this way, people who were enterprising and were successful because of their hard work would not end up being penalised by paying more tax."

Very well written. I love your batman crossovers.
| tajlund chapter 16 . 8/16/2003
This was an excellent example of fan fiction done well. I only had one minor quibble with it. I believe you have tried to do too much with one tale. Far too many characters were introduced, it was almost as if you wanted to mention every one of your favorite characters. I hope that maybe that is toned down in the sequel. (Hint, Hint) Thank you for an enjoyable read. You have proven that crossovers can work if done right.
| SilverKnight chapter 16 . 8/15/2003
Amazing. Simply amazing. 'Nuff said.
| Ghost in the Machine chapter 16 . 8/13/2003
I really liked how you used Chapter 15 to establish a connection between the worlds of Resident Evil and the Bat mythos. In fact, I think it would have made an acceptable end point for the story.
Chapter 16 was a mixed bag though. The refusal of the Justice League to involve themselves rings false. There are more than enough strange things (alien invasions, demons, superheroes, talking gorillas, etc.) around that someone creating zombies shouldn't be dismissed.
Given his track record, the mere fact that Batman asked for an investigation is enough reason to take the request seriously. The lack of trust grates on my nerves. (As does Batgirl surviving exposure to the T-virus, but that's another thing entirely.)
Looking forward to Round 2.
| Carycomic chapter 16 . 8/13/2003
Well, the only way to survive in Gotham City, perhaps. Anyway; great job all around, DY! As I said before, I look forward to more of your STAR WARS fanfiction. And, if and when you write a sequel to this crossover, my readership of it can also be considered guaranteed.
| Carycomic chapter 15 . 8/13/2003
I wonder what side, if any, Talia will be taking in the apparent three-for-all that's developing? *Batman vs. Umbrella/Al Ghul vs. Luthor.* Of course, the obvious answer is: read chapter 16!
| Carycomic chapter 14 . 8/13/2003
Hey, hey! Thanks, DY. And, like I said before; I have found nothing wrong at all with this story.
| SilverKnight chapter 13 . 7/14/2003
Damn. Now Batman has to go and kill Batgirl. I feel sorry for him, as I probably should.
Great chapter.
| Superfan chapter 13 . 7/14/2003
She's still got her crime-fighting agility, even though she's now zombified? The T-virus must've activated a latent metagene no one ever suspected she had. You're a genius!

Does Precision Induction Cooktop Really Work?
Cooking should not be a chore. It should be fun, especially when this activity is done with the latest technologies, like the Precision Induction Cooktop (PIC). This cooker is supposed to be the latest innovation in quick, safe, efficient, convenient and delicious cooking. The science behind the Precision Induction Cooktop is in its induction coils that create a penetrating magnetic field towards iron-based cookware, generating rapid heat. With the Precision Induction Cooktop, culinary activities becomes cost-effective as it takes over the role of a traditional gas range. Not only is the Precision Induction Cooktop energy-saving, it is also convenient and safe for home use because it easy to clean and turns off automatically when not in use. Plus, it is portable and can be taken away anywhere in a handy pouch for gatherings and outdoor use.
Precision Induction Cooktop Reviews
This appliance is a great addition to my kitchen. I particularly like preparing scrambled eggs in the morning. The keep warm feature allows me to prepare the remainder of my breakfast while the PIC keeps the eggs warm.
I have also made yogurt, spanish rice, turkey and noodles, pork chops, boiled eggs, and bean soup, just to name a few. Everything has turned out perfectly.
Another outstanding fact is that the PIC does not take up a lot of counter space in my small kitchen and has built-in safety features. I give this appliance a 5-star rating without reservation.

Champaign, IL
I bought a PIC last week and I have been using it everyday.I am amazed how it cooks without getting hot around the surface,wow! I just love my PIC, cant live with out it.
December 2nd, 2011
West Orange
I purchased the PIC a couple months ago. It is a great for cooking eggs and it cooks them so much faster than my regular stovetop. I also was able to filet salmon in it the other day and it turned out great. So far the PIC has been great, I have been very impressed! I have not used my stove once since I bought my PIC!

Hugh Farrelly: It's the wrong time for Munster to make a change
LAST year, following Munster's exit from the Heineken Cup pool stages for the first time in 13 seasons, the province felt obliged to issue the dreaded vote of confidence to coach Tony McGahan.
In the middle of his third season at the helm, it looked as though, rather than emulating the double Heineken Cup-winning achievements of his predecessor Declan Kidney, Munster were going backwards under McGahan, with that pool exit, following a torrid trouncing in Toulon, providing tangible evidence.
The supporters were disgruntled, the pundits dismissive -- and the situation was compounded by the fact that the province's great rivals Leinster appeared to have moved to a different level, kicking on from their 2009 European triumph by scorching their way to a second title playing exhilarating rugby under new coach Joe Schmidt.
McGahan had another year to go on his contract and Munster stood by their man -- with spectacular results -- but, now, just as the plaudits were raining down upon the Australian, he has decided to go home, leaving various questions to address.
Is this is a good time for change?
Not at all. McGahan has been going from strength-to-strength. He restored core values by bringing in forwards coach Anthony Foley for the ill-fitting Laurie Fisher as well as a specialist scrum coach in Paul McCarthy and tight-head enforcer BJ Botha for Tony Buckley.
He bounced back from the Toulon disappointment by engineering an excellent Magners League triumph last season and then a six-from-six pool qualification in this season's Heineken Cup. McGahan has kept Munster well in the Pro12 mix also -- and all this despite a consistently depowering injury list.
All the while, he has been bringing through a clutch of youngsters to strengthen Ireland's talent pool -- Conor Murray, Peter O'Mahony and Simon Zebo chief among them -- while embracing a more attacking style.
With Munster going through a self-acknowledged period of transition, McGahan has been handling the process superbly -- and continuity, not change, was the key.
Did Munster want to keep him?
Very much so. McGahan was given the option of a two-year extension as the province sought to build on the momentum of the last 12 months.
So why go now?
McGahan was widely expected to accept the contract on offer, but there are a number of reasons why he changed his mind. Chief among them would surely have been a serious opportunity coming up in Australia.
While the Wallabies are yet to confirm their new coaching ticket under Robbie Deans, McGahan is expected to be part of it and for a man who still has a relatively low profile in his own country, that is a big appointment.
Another significant factor is the desire to bring up his family in Australia after a seven-year sojourn in Ireland.
The fact that Munster continue to operate on a two-base system could also have been a source of frustration for the coach. Munster's Cork-Limerick quirk is something that has always baffled southern hemisphere imports (McGahan's countryman Jim Williams raised serious questions about the practice and called for a single base after the defeat to Wasps in 2004) and goes against accepted operations in the professional game.
Who should replace him?
Whoever comes in must be equipped to continue the progression achieved under McGahan in the past year.
It took the Australian three years to properly get to grips with the particular nuances of steering the Munster juggernaut and bringing in another southern hemisphere coach to start from scratch represents something of a risk.
Going local has powerful appeal. Foley was being groomed for the role down the line and understands how it works. The general assumption is that it would be too much too soon for the 2006 Heineken cup-winning captain, but who is to say he is not up to the task?
There are other indigenous coaching candidates to choose from and, while former Munster winger and Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan would have his detractors in the province, he is available and highly qualified.
What about the rest of the coaching ticket?
It depends on who comes in and where their specialist skills lie, but there is talk of Doug Howlett, out for the season with injury, taking on a coaching role when his playing days are over.
The All Black has been a phenomenal success since joining Munster in 2007 and commands massive respect in the squad and among supporters.
How will this affect Munster?
No more than Ulster, who are parting ways with their head coach Brian McLaughlin at the end of a season where the side has made significant progress, it is essential that Munster's season does not go off the rails now (a situation complicated by the fact the two Irish provinces face each other in the Heineken Cup quarter-final).
However, McGahan has built up considerable levels of loyalty and regard among his players and you would expect them to do their utmost to give him a fitting send-off.
The danger next season is that the acclimatisation process under the new man will slow down the momentum McGahan has built up so impressively.

#1 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
We are not trying to take your vehicle away

Hello Nelly my name is Joe I am one of the managers here at the dealership. I wanted to assure you that we were not going to take away your vehicle nor did we have any intentions of it. As for your boyfriend we would really appreciate him not posting fasle statements against us it is slander. If he does not stop the owner of the dealership will be forced to take legal action against him, and that is the last thing we want to happen.
Nelly, if you have anything to discuss with us feel free to call we would be happy to help you with anything else.

text: The third in an epic series of jazz soundtrack boxes, and possibly the best yet. The seven films represented on the five discs are all nouvelle vague classics, released between 1957 and 1962, and never were jazz and the cinema more in tune with each other. You can't imagine Louis Malle's Lift to the Scaffold without Miles Davis, Godard's Breathless without Martial Solal or Vadim's No Sun in Venice without the MJQ – and if you've seen the film you can't hear the music without recalling it. Others to be heard include Duke Jordan, Kenny Dorham and the Jazz Messengers.

Winter is arriving if not already here for a lot of you (apparently there's snow in Houston?) so this is defo soup season. You all know there's nothing better than a delicious bowl of homemade soup with a nice sangwich. I remember growing up in the tropical Isle of Ireland and the odd day it might be cold and wet my Mum would always make us soup for lunch. It's always been one of those things that was a staple in our house as any leftover veg from dinner would be made into a delicious soup the next day. Those were the days.
This soup recipe is one of my faves and you'll definitely love the fresh pea flavour and earthy texture. Off you pop and get the pot out.
Yields: A big ol' pot.
1 lb bag of green split peas
3 small-med sized sweet potatoes – peeled & diced
1 white or yellow onion – chopped
1 cup celery – chopped
2 fresh carrots – chopped
2 bay leaves
8 cups veg stock or water
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Begin by emptying the bag of peas into a colander. Run the cold water over them and rinse thoroughly. While rinsing sort through the peas for any foreign objects, like dirt or even little pebbles. Once rinsed let drain in the same colander.
Preheat a large soup pot for 1 minute on medium heat. Once heated add olive oil along with celery, carrots and onion. Saute on medium, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Do not brown onions.
Add rinsed peas, potatoes, bay leaves and stock. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce to a simmer and partially cover. Cook for 20 minutes approx or until peas are cooked through.
Using a hand blender, if you have one or a food processor if not, pulse. Don't puree totally but leave some veggie chucks in there. It creates a more rustic texture (which I like).
Taste and season with S&P.
All recipes are made with the finest quality farmers market whole foods, natural and non-processed ingredients.
