Celeb Marriage Woes
What on earth is going on with these 'slebs'? Katie and Peter heading straight to the divorce court before even cashing in on a few reconciliation magazine deals. Dane Bowers getting back in there while Pete's side of the bed is still warm. Ange and Brad reportedly at each others throats due to him being found 'comforting' the nanny and watching a dvd instead of minding the children (what husband hasn't done that?), Charlotte Church and Gav in Hello denying all rumours of a marriage rift (bet you a quid it'll be over within a year), Madonna flaunting her new Jesus around as if, 'Guy Who'?
I mean, if Katie and Peter are splitting up, what chance have the rest of us got? Eh?
What is weird is the general hunger for it, the fact that Katie and Peter have been in the papers DAILY since announcing the split - look there's Peter feeding ducks, oooh, there he is again outside a large house. We seem to need every detail, perhaps because they have married in front of us all, lived in front of us all (have you been watching Stateside? How moody is Katie??), now it's almost like we need to see the meltdown too.
Same with Brad and Ange, they got together on film (Mr & Mrs Smith), we felt Jen's pain when she was dumped, they shared photos of Ange breastfeeding, and now we feel we have a right to know the TRUTH. Are they just pretending? Brad, are you a compulsive shagger? Ange, are you completely and utterly barmy?
What is most sad in all of these cases are that there are children involved. And quite a lot of them in Brad and Angelina's case.
No doubt, in ten years we'll be reading their blogs/biogs/OK magazine deals about what it was like growing up the son of Katie Price/ daughter of Brad and Ange/ Adopted son of Madonna.
Divorce is never nice.
No matter if you are Joe Public or Peter Andre.
So, good luck to 'em.
May they all find a bit of peace and happiness...

It breaks my heart when I see these stories because there are children involved.
It seems it's all to easy to just throw in the towel and quit the marriage these days. Why does nobody fight to save it?
I can't think of anything worse than being a celeb and playing out your marriage infront of the cameras. Of course there are some who positively court the publicity and invite the press into their lounge . . . - 2 June 2009 09:49

I agree with Tara and they just give up to easily. Or maybe its get involved to easily? After all when being together can boast your career then it works for everyone .
Then again we don't really know what goes on behind closed doors - 2 June 2009 11:18

You are so topical lady! Just got Grazia delivered this morning and who is now on the cover suspected of splitting up? Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise or Tomkat as the press of lovingly named them! Mind you...I think his scientology thing is one sarnie short of a picnic... just my personal opinion! xx

Tara - Hello there. I still loiter around at your place. Your company looks brilliant. TopCat, so good luck with that! Yes. Agreed. Marriage has it's ups and downs but is so very rewarding if you are prepared to put the hard work in. Seems like money can't buy happiness.
Laura - I agree - get involved easier, get together, get married and have lots of babies in a short space of time. Hard work for anyone. No, we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, how much is real, how much is done for publicity...
That Girl - I think I pinched this post from a conversation we were having over at yours... - 2 June 2009 14:06

Hello Hello! Welcome back Confused, or should I call you Susan? I have this theory that you are in fact Susan Boyle and here's why:

MH - Ha ha, I can't believe you have found me out!! I am completely faking the "exhaustion", I just needed to create extra press and sympathy to increase my single sales. But don't worry, I won't be singing a wobbly version of Memories. Now has anyone seen my cat Pebbles? Back soon...

I agree with Tara, they give up too easily. A lot of these celebs get divorced through selfishness to want something they can't have. Where are the Paul and Joanna Newmans of the celeb world?

- Mom/Mum said...
Oh CTTF I just nearly broke my wrist falling off my chair laughing at the thought of you being Susan Boyle!!!! I see you much more as the Amanda Holden type. (Not that I have ayinsie knowledge, mind! And am sure you never let your eyebrows get as unruly as Susan's now do you? me, however? Pass those tweezers sharpish!
Anyway, to comment on your fab post, it seems that marriage is merely another celeb accessory to those in the spotlight these days. Time they grew up and faced their responsibilities if you ask me... - 9 June 2009 04:32

Ah Confused. It's like you offered me the last chocolate of the top tray, only for me to discover later that there's no other layer. You're such a tease. Come back to me! MH

In the case of Peter and Katie, one word - "publicists".

Working Mum - Hi there, how are you? Will pop over to yours and catch up! I wonder if Paul Newman and Joanne Woodwards marriage was all that it seemed? They lived in a different era, when OK magazine didn't exist and people didn't sell their wedding rights...
Mom/Mum - Amanda Holden is heading your way - look out - she is trying to carve a career in the US. As for celeb marriages being like accessories - Jordan has moved on from hers and now has a new accessory - a hunky gay best friend...bizarre. There are photos of her clubbing wearing an outfit where you can see her lady bits. How undignified. Actually, I might ask if I can borrow it for Friday night...;o)
Yummy Mummy - I will come over after bath time and check it out. I think I know what it will be!!
MH - I think I am like a box of choccie liqueurs. I only appear at Christmas...
Expat Mum - Very nicely put. YOu are completely right. - 22 June 2009 17:41

Confession, specifically the practice of confessing one's sins to a priest, is a quite common practice in the Catholic Church. When and how did this sacrament first originate and become codified as standard Catholic practice?
Take the tour
Christianity Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for committed Christians, experts in Christianity and those interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The "ear confession" as we know it today is an invention of Irish monks (some 6th century? I'm not sure). Before that time, only heavy sins (especially renouncing Christ) were confessed in front of whole congregation. Private confession allowed to confess all sins. This practice spread with Irish missionaries quickly. It was codified as mandatory (at least once a year) on IVth Lateran council (1215). EDIT: wikipedia on the Sacrament of Penance (Catholic Church) focuses on penance, so the beginning of the practice of confession is bit obscured, but it gives further details and approves the codification in 1215. EDIT 2: wikipedia article on Celtic Christianity gives more details and cites Medieval Handbooks of Penance. | |||||||||||||||||||||

New polls shed further light on how Israelis view the outcome of Operation Pillar of Defense, and their views on the American president.
November 29, 2012 | 8:52 am
If Israel is indeed somewhat nervous about a Secretary of State Susan Rice, it would be far more nervous about a Secretary of State or Defense Chuck Hagel.
November 28, 2012 | 7:05 am
That France and Spain have decided to go along with Palestinians' bid for non-member observer status at the UN is not necessarily good news for Palestine.
November 27, 2012 | 6:12 am
The fact is that the Likud is a right wing party, and it's time some people got used to it; Israeli voters – unlike their representatives in most media outlets – tend to be quite fond of right-wing political parties.
November 26, 2012 | 7:16 am
It's been clear for a while that Barak's political future could well be in doubt; meanwhile, who will pay the price for Livni's return?
November 25, 2012 | 9:23 am
With this new data we present what we believe is a convincing picture, according to which there's a broad agreement between the different polls.
November 22, 2012 | 5:13 am
It is almost comical to see how quickly all the pundits and politicians go back to their usual habits, and make Operation Pillar of Defense a clear demonstration of their own long-claimed contentions.

What was the calculus behind Hamas' decision to allow and abet this growing harassment of Israeli civilians? What was the logic behind it – assuming there is some? What was it trying to achieve?
November 19, 2012 | 8:21 am
Being able to form a relatively wide coalition, without having to take in any of the center-left parties, will give Netanyahu much greater leverage in coalition negotiations.

My five-year-old daughter Yael just called from Tel Aviv to say that she's doing fine. She's a bit scared, but that's only because I'm not there to watch her — if I were home, she would not be afraid.
November 16, 2012 | 9:27 am
One can argue that the operation is in fact quite risky for Netanyahu, politically speaking. What if Pillar of Defense is not successful?
November 15, 2012 | 4:48 am
The vicious cycle of violence is never static, and we hope that after reaching a certain crescendo it will go down; the only question is how many people – Israelis and Palestinians - must get hurt before the violence subsides.

American Jewish communities can benefit from having organized, vibrant, Israeli component, and an organized, vibrant Israeli community can learn a lot from non-Israeli Jews in their neighborhood.
November 13, 2012 | 9:39 am
Tikkun Olam today is used in a markedly Jewish context that often smacks of an attempt to wrap simple liberalism in Jewish garb, or to attribute Jewish meaning to activities that have little to do with Judaism. Some thoughts from the GA.

- Product Details
Ford F-Series Super Duty 1988-1997, Door Weather Strip by Replace®. This is an aftermarket part that replaces factory OE #FOTZ1520708A. Door weatherstripping seals out the rain and wind, and prevents rattles. But over time weatherstripping can crack and harden and become ineffective. Your car or truck can become drafty, leaky and noisy. But even minor parts like weatherstripping can be prohibitively expensive at the dealer. Replace has quality replacement door weatherstripping that is identical to original equipment (OE) for much less than the OE price. With Replace your vehicle will feel like new and you'll still have cash in your pocket.
- Same quality as OE for less money
- Designed with the latest software and manufactured with modern tooling
- Direct replacement
- Installs the same as factory unit
- Same dimensions as OE part
- No vehicle modifications required for installation
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
Your doors have weatherstripping around the door shell that seals the door in the door opening, and weatherstripping that seals against the door window. Time and temperature can cause these to crack, harden, shrink and generally deteriorate. As a result your car or truck can rattle in the door opening, feel drafty, and rain water can enter the cabin and get inside the door. If this is allowed to continue, you'll not only be uncomfortable, it can cause expensive damage from water and rust.
In the past your options for replacing damaged weatherstripping were buying cheap replacements, which may not fit properly, or paying big bucks for OE door weatherstripping. Today, however, you can fix your car or truck properly and have money left in your pocket with new quality replacement door weatherstripping from Replace. Replace offers OE quality body parts at less than original equipment prices. You get the same quality part that you'd get at the dealer without the high dealer price. A Replace door weatherstripping will look and fit just like a door weatherstripping from the dealer, so your vehicle will look new again. Replace door weatherstripping is designed using the latest software so it exactly replicates the OE unit, then it's manufactured using the most modern tooling, so the end product looks and fits exactly as designed. A Replace door weatherstripping is made to the same dimensions as OE with the same material.
Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. A Replace door weatherstripping is the sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup. A Replace door weatherstripping will get you back on the road in a car or truck that looks brand new, without breaking the bank. Replace is so confident in the quality of its door weatherstripping that it's backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed. This includes perforation (metal rust-through) due to corrosion in normal use.
42.86Brand: Replace Part Number: FO1390101 UPC: 615343331751 OE Part Number: FOTZ1520708AReplace® is dedicated to providing original equipment (OE) quality body parts and lights without the high OE price. Rather than deal with so-called "universal" parts that may or may not fit your vehicle, Replace sells only parts that have OE quality fit, function and appearance. They believe such parts should be affordable so you can repair your vehicle to its former state, restoring your pride of ownership and preserving its resale value. With Replace parts you can just say no to high dealer prices.

Hi, here's the url:
There are 4 image maps over the word 'Start' at the bottom of the page.
I've linked the pages in the properties panel and there appears to be an 'href' piece of coding in the html.
The other maps higher on the page seem to be OK.
Any clues anyone? Any help always appreciated.
All the best, RP
Thanks Murray, that has sorted it. Having done a small amount of research on the 'overflow' declaration... I'm not sure how this has helped in this instance. There wasn't any obvious overflow of content.... feel free to correct me.... always willing to learn!
Thanks again to both yourself and Ken.
All the best, RP
The 'overflow' style when used with values "scroll | hidden" is incredibly useful in controlling floats and margins on your page. When an element is assigned one of these styles, it becomes "a new block formatting context". What that means is that all interior floats (within that element) are automatically cleared, and no interior margins can escape the container. The problem you were having was that a subsequent element was somehow (and I'm not really sure why - didn't look closely enough to diagnose it) expanded enough vertically to MASK the linked buttons. When the buttons are masked, the mouseovers are not detected by the browser and the links don't work. By assigning the overflow style, you prevent that masking and the links are expressed.

Guardian of the Human Spirit Luncheon honors the Mach family
By Lindsey Love | November 8, 2012 | Updated: November 13, 2012 5:31pm
Whether it was to hear the River Oaks Baptist eighth-grade choir or to support the Mach family as honorees, more than 700 patrons of Holocaust Museum Houston hustled to the downtown Hilton Americas for the Guardian of the Human Spirit Luncheon. Chairs Elizabeth and Jeffrey Early as well as Carolyn and Michael Mann assembled an impressive lunching bunch that included Danielle Ellis, Karyn and Jay Guerrero and Martin Fein with his daughter Rebecca Fein Luks while also raising $332,000. Besides the butterfly-themed museum calendars, fluttering femmes who aced the luncheon look were Jennifer Segal (handmade Brera satchel) and Betty Tutor (Tahitan pearl necklace).

Last February, tens of thousands of moviegoers stormed cinemas around the United States to watch "Chronicle," turning the superhero thriller into a surprise hit that topped the U.S. box office on Super Bowl weekend.
The film, which follows the adventures of three American teenage boys who acquire superpowers, made $22 million that weekend alone -- traditionally considered one of the slowest weekends for the U.S. movie industry.
Although set in Seattle, "Chronicle's" producers decided to shoot in South Africa, lured by the country's low production costs and growing reputation as an attractive destination for international filmmaking.
The move paid off as the film, with production costs of just $12 million, turned out to be a big winner for 20th Century Fox. "Chronicle" exceeded industry expectations by piling up an impressive $126 million in global cinema ticket sales, according to Box Office Mojo.
"Fox was totally stunned by it," says Nico Dekker, chief executive of Cape Town Film Studios, the South African facility where "Chronicle" was primarily shot. "The $12 million film is looking like a $30 million or a $40 million film on the screen," he adds.
Over the years, South Africa's varied landscapes have been a favorite set location for Hollywood productions. Worldwide hits shot at least partly in the country include "Blood Diamond," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, "Lord of War," featuring Nicolas Cage, and "Invictus," Clint Eastwood's take on South Africa's victory at the 1995 Rugby World Cup.

But while the country's stunning beaches, jagged mountains and lush vineyards have long served as a backdrop for films, as well as TV adverts, Cape Town Film Studios is now aiming to make South Africa a major destination for both location filming and top-quality studio productions.
The multi-million dollar complex, the first of its kind in South Africa, boasts four soundstages, several offices, a cinema, as well as pre- and post-production services.
Less than two years after it first began operations, the vast studios have already attracted an impressive roster of blockbuster films. Apart from "Chronicle" they were used for action movie "Safe House," starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, the 3D comic-book adventure "Dredd," and TV drama "Mary and Martha," starring Hilary Swank.
Dekker says the studios are a huge step for South Africa's movie industry and will help the country to build its reputation as an emerging force in global filmmaking.
"It creates a home, a base, where national and international filmmakers can meet," says Dekker, "Where you can bring the latest technology together; where you can bring films like 'Dredd,' which was our first film of 3D transfer movies -- so you can now suddenly shoot stuff that we can only dream from."

In a country like South Africa, hit by massive unemployment and sluggish economic growth, a thriving film industry could hold a tremendous economic opportunity. Earlier this year, the South African government recognized this potential by announcing a series of incentives aimed at attracting large-budget productions to help create jobs, generate revenues and encourage tourism.
The measures included an uncapped 20% rebate for foreign productions shot on location in South Africa, as well as a 22.5% break if they are also post-produced in the country.
Michael Auret, managing director of South African production firm Spier Films, says the incentives have already made a big difference.
"We already have three productions for January -- up from maybe one or two productions a year the previous years -- and we've got more lined up," he says. "All the production companies in South Africa have experienced an increase in films that they are doing and television programs but also increased inquiries from people who want to come and shoot here."
Auret cites the weakness of the rand against the dollar, the low cost of crews compared to other popular shooting destinations such as Australia, and the diversity of locations as South Africa's competitive advantages.
"We have both summer and winter rain in two different parts of the country," he explains. "You can shoot the Mediterranean climate around Cape Town and you can shoot the tropical climate in Johannesburg -- it's desert, as well as jungles, as well as beaches, it's urban centers where they shot 'Dredd.'
"So there's very few films that can't be made here -- other than possibly a film shot completely in snow, in the Arctic or something."

Titanic II
Tinkle-down economics steer the Ship of State toward disaster
As we near the end of the legislation session, it's time to dust off the Crap-O-Meter.
The what?
The Crap-O-Meter. It's a device that goes to dinging whenever one of our erstwhile elected leaders spins a particularly preposterous line of ... well ... you know.
Here's what nearly caused the meter to overheat recently:
"At every turn, opponents have claimed cutting taxes would gut government, cause other taxes to rise and send Oklahoma backward. Time continues to prove those fears false. Today, government still functions just fine, the Legislature has raised no other taxes and Oklahoma is doing better than ever with a growing economy that boasts some of the best job growth and lowest unemployment in the nation at a time other states continue struggling to recover from the 2008 economic downturn."
Thus sayeth House Speaker Kris Steele, one not normally regarded as a prolific purveyor of political propaganda. Surely he just got carried away with his rhetoric. Or surely he winked to let all know he was being ironic. Surely?
No, he unfortunately followed up that assertion (published in the Oklahoman) with the same implausible line in subsequent public remarks.
Somewhere Pinocchio must be suffering a severe case of schnoz envy.
It is so unlike Steele to declare the sky is red when it is, in fact, blue. He is an honorable man -- indeed, a man of the cloth. He typically is a calm voice of reason in a world that thrives on overheated, often demonstrably false rhetoric.
Yet, here we are -- with reality that is far different from the picture the speaker paints:
Since the late 1990s, state lawmakers -- first under Democratic control, now under Republican dominance -- have cut the top state income tax rate from 7 percent to 5.25 percent.
That is nearly $1 billion in annual state revenues ... gone. Nearly 20 percent -- poof! -- missing from a $6 billion annual state budget.
With his comments, the speaker implies state government was bloated, sorely in need of belt-tightening. Cut $1 billion? Nobody even noticed. State government didn't skip a beat.
Maybe not the high-rollers who helped elect the Legislature's GOP majority, the same special interests that successfully fought efforts this year to rein in corporate welfare -- euphemistically known as tax credits, breaks or incentives -- that costs the state treasury billions more.
But regular Oklahomans are beginning to feel in the pinch:
More than 6,000 of our fellow residents are on waiting lists for mental health assistance. Many of our county jails are overcrowded because they've become the state's de facto mental hospitals (a very expensive way to treat mental illness).
Between 600 and 900 per day are on waiting lists for substance abuse help, thanks to lost federal block grants and declining state appropriations that combined to slash the state budget for such services from $87 million in 2008 to $69 million this year.
School class sizes are exploding. Thousands of teachers have been laid off; those who remain are America's 49th worst paid. Most state employees haven't had a raise in six years. Six years!
Oklahoma's bridges are consistently ranked the nation's worst. The state Capitol is crumbling (and rather than pay-as-you-go, lawmakers appear poised to borrow $160 million to repair it). The state needs $150 million more to fix its sorely under-funded Department of Human Services, including child welfare.
Yet, the speaker declareth: "Core services haven't been harmed to pay for tax cuts in the past and they won't be now!"
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! ...
The Crap-O-Meter has detected the unmistakable whiff of political B.S.
The brutal truth is things would be nearing Third World status in Oklahoma were it not for soaring oil prices that kept our economy in better shape than most states and $2.6 billion in federal stimulus money.
Yup, the reviled ol' Uncle Sugar has made it possible for Oklahoma's Republican-dominated, state Capitol leadership to pander to the masses with tax cuts, the full brunt of which won't be felt until later ... probably when oil, as it inevitably will, joins natural gas at the bottom of commodity barrel pricing.
Even so, Steele, Gov. Mary Fallin, Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman and other elected leaders are doubling down on a train wreck of a strategy, either too ignorant to grasp the shortsightedness of the pandering-at-all-cost strategy or praying the worst effects aren't felt until they are forced by term limits to leave office.
For Steele, the six-term limit is in sight at year's end. For Bingman, it's 2016. For Fallin, it's 2018. Assuming both can win re-election.
The GOP policy-makers, of course, will be guiding another tax cut -- amount to be determined -- through this year's session, yet again slashing hundreds of millions from essential state services.
And they appear poised to enact a series of triggers that eventually would eliminate the state income tax altogether. One-third of the state budget gone and all but irreplaceable, thanks to constitutional restrictions requiring a three-fourths legislative super-majority or statewide voter approval to raise taxes.
It won't matter, of course, to those steering the Ship of State (Titanic II?) today. They'll be long gone by then -- probably raking in much bigger bucks as special interest lobbyists or latching onto the public teat with some higher-paying, cushy state job that boosts their taxpayer-financed pensions into the stratosphere.
Even though history shows it's a fool's errand (see Reagan, Ronald), state elected Republicans embrace trickle-down economics with zest. They know it's a real pleaser for both their big money campaign donors -- and for the average taxpayer who somehow forgets taxes and services are directly linked.
Yes, indeed, the average taxpayer loves the thought of a tax cut until you start asking them which services they'd like to cut.
Starve the local schools? Forget the nearby highway project? Ignore the neighbor's health calamity? Abandon abused or neglected children?
Tinkle-down economics, anyone?
Oklahoma's promising future will be dashed if the Crap-O-Meter dings incessantly in the Legislature's final weeks.
Pray for silence -- and for common sense. Two virtues all-too-often in short supply at NE 23rd and Lincoln.

Writing the detectives
Michael Chabon follows up The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay with some hard-boiled, reimagined history.
Author Michael Chabon already had a loyal following before he came out with 2000's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. But when the epic novel hit the stands, Chabon went from a familiar name to one of the country's most beloved novelists. The story of two cousins who rocket to comic-book superstardom in 1940s New York nabbed the Pulitzer Prize and carved an almost permanent spot on best-seller lists. He followed it up with the best-selling Summerland, a young-adult novel, and the novella The Final Solution.
His highly anticipated new novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union (HarperCollins, $26.95), is his first major work since Kav and Clay. The book takes its cue from a brief moment in 1939 when FDR's administration discussed opening Alaska for Jewish settlement if Israel didn't work out. Chabon's novel is set in contemporary Sitka, Alaska, which is now inhabited by displaced Jews. The novel centers on Detective Meyer Landsman, who discovers a murdered man in the seedy hotel he calls home on the same day he learns his ex-wife has been promoted to be his boss. As the town prepares for "Reversion," when Sitka loses its sovereignty and is returned to American control, the ex-wife tries to take the murder case off of his hands, but it could be Landsman's last.
Where did the idea for this book come from? Were you reading about the proposal to settle Jews in Alaska?
At some point I heard of this thing, but I don't know how I heard of it or when. It wasn't until I wrote an essay that was a response to this phrasebook, Say It in Yiddish: A Phrasebook for Travelers. I wrote this essay trying to figure out what the publishers and authors had intended, since they published this book in 1958, when there was no immediately obvious destination to which one could travel in which the infrastructure was completely Yiddish. And I speculated about this crazy plan I'd once read about. Over the years I kept thinking about that place, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to write a book set in that place.
But this happens because Israel loses the war and there's a massacre of the Jews who moved there. It's hard to read a book about Israel in the Middle East and not see it as a political choice by the author.
Maybe inevitably, but not deliberately on my part. Built into the whole idea of writing alternate history is the principle that you can't take things for granted. Some of the things that tend to get taken for granted—for example, the victory of Israel in 1948—in retrospect seems like this fore-ordained thing, but it didn't have to happen that way. I think ungranting those things might have political repercussions. In doing that, you can spin it politically any number of ways, but I wasn't interested in that, I was more interested in the lives of my characters.
With Kav and Clay you have comics, and this book is written in a pulpy, noirish style, both of which are sometimes considered "low culture." Do you see yourself as an advocate for genres that are traditionally looked down upon?
At this point, I have a continuing sense of amazement that people try to make those old arguments and distinctions. To me, genres are quality neutral. There's this very sneaky, critical game that gets played: When something emerges strongly from a genre that's considered de classé, it's granted a kind of pardon. People say, "This is not really science fiction because it's really good," which is a way of making it so science fiction can never be good.
The Kav and Clay characters see the world through comics. Landsman and others here have the same relationship with chess. Was that a choice, to give these characters the same sort of lens?
Not really. It's more the case that there are just things I'm interested in as lifelong interests or things I wish I knew more about—those are the things you build your fiction out of.
How are you at chess?
I'm terrible at it. And I really can't stand the game. But I love reading about it, the history of it and the lore of chess. I just don't have the taste for blood.
Chabon reads Monday 21 at the Harold Washington Library Center.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel star in director Marc Webb's wry, nonlinear romantic comedy about a man who falls head over heels for a woman who doesn't believe in love. Tom (Gordon-Levitt) is an aspiring architect who currently earns his living as a greeting card writer. Upon encountering his boss' beautiful new secretary, Summer (Deschanel), Tom discovers that the pair have plenty in common despite the fact that she's seemingly out of his league; for starters, they both love the Smiths, and they're both fans of surrealist artist Magritte. Before long Tom is smitten. All he can think about is Summer. Tom believes deeply in the concept of soul mates, and he's finally found his. Unfortunately for Tom, Summer sees true love as the stuff of fairy tales, and isn't looking for romance.

Jazmin has her heart set on launching her own line of clothes for large ladies, but she hasn't had much luck convincing the moneymen that there's a market for her work. Jazmin is also looking for love, but she finds that few men are willing to look past her dress size and see the woman within. Jazmin is becoming despondent when she gets some good news -- she's won an all-expenses paid trip for two to an exclusive resort in Palm Springs, and she and her best friend, Stacey (Kendra C. Johnson), another zaftig woman, head out to enjoy some fun and sun. While on vacation, Jazmin meets Tunde (Jimmy Jean-Louis), a handsome and successful doctor from Nigeria, and she discovers to her surprise that Tunde is strongly attracted to her. Tunde tells Jazmin than in his country, large women are considered beautiful, and his friend Akibo (Godfrey) is similarly drawn to Stacey. Will Jazmin's new luck in love follow into other parts of her life or is Tunde's interest in her just a passing fancy? Phat Girlz was the first feature film from writer and director Nnegest Likké. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Tara (Jennifer Tilly) hosts a dinner party. When she discusses the HIV-positive results of her lover's brother, others join in with their opinions on AIDS. Black artist Buzz (T.C. Carson), brought to the party as the date of Vincey (Mitchell Anderson), quickly becomes a twosome with Javi (Eddie Garcia). Megan (Serena Scott Thomas) breaks up with her black lover Sarina (Cynda Williams) after Megan reveals her affair with Sarina's cousin Jered (Billy Wirth). With lesbian, gay, and straight interactions throughout, the film's framework leans toward Schnitzler's La Ronde (1900), as an assortment of characters talk directly into the camera to introduce other characters. Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Directed by E. Elias Merhige, Suspect Zero follows the disgraced FBI Agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart), who was transferred to a desolate area in Albuquerque, New Mexico as punishment for botching a procedure which ultimately led to the release of one of the most notorious criminals on the FBI's list. Mackelway is given an opportunity to redeem himself, however, when he is called in to investigate the strange murder of a traveling salesman. Mysteriously, the mark of a circle with a line through it is the only clue that the killer left behind. Before long, the prime suspect is identified as former agent Benjamin O'Ryan (Ben Kingsley), who is seemingly obsessed with hunting down serial killers and murdering them rather than turning them in to the proper authorities. Though Mackelway believes he knows the area where O'Ryan (Kingsley) is living, he has no idea what he looks like -- a problem that the rogue agent exploits with great success. Despite his brilliance, Mackelway finds himself caught in a psychological labyrinth of sorts, and is faced with an even greater quandary after learning that O'Ryan is looking for none other than Suspect Zero, a murderer of hundreds and the FBI's most wanted man. The supporting cast includes Carrie-Anne Moss and Harry J. Lennix. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Later, after Mai Ling (Matiko) arrives in L.A. to discover just what a brute her new American husband truly is, the couple is forced to contend with a devastating development that could bring them closer than ever while profoundly affecting the way that Max perceives the opposite sex. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Identical twin brothers Mark Polish and Michael Polish have written, directed, and starred in an emotional romance about a prostitute who falls in love with Siamese twins. The Polish Brothers play the conjoined twins Blake and Francis Falls, who are joined at the chest and thus share many vital organs. They have come to the big city to find their long-lost mother and end their suffering once and for all. As a birthday present to themselves, they hire a pretty young prostitute named Penny Michele Hicks to comfort them in their dark hotel room. Turned off at first, Penny eventually sees beyond the boys' disabilities and agrees to help them. She invites them to an underground Halloween party where they finally fit in for the first time in their lives, albeit as part of a freak show. Slowly Penny falls in love with Blake; she explores his body in such a sensual way that she is both attracted and repulsed by his deformed torso. Eventually, Blake reveals that his better half, Francis, is dying. He must choose between dying with his brother or a risky operation that would allow him to be separated and further explore the love he has experienced with Penny. Can Blake adjust to an identity of his own? Can he ever get over the guilt of abandoning his brother? Is life worth living when a part of you is gone? ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

An old-fashioned Jewish father vows to bring his stubborn family together after being slipped a dose of ecstasy during the annual Passover celebration in director Salvador Litvak's psychedelic Seder comedy. Family patriarch Ira Stuckman (Michael Lerner) has taken a few tips from his hard-nosed father, Arthur (Jack Klugman), when it comes to matters of the family. A strict disciplinarian with little tolerance for tomfoolery, stubborn Ira is insistent that the whole family come together for the Seder feast despite their lingering disagreements. When Ira's son, Zeke (Ben Feldman), drops a hit of ecstasy into his father's meal in hopes of opening the old man's eyes up to a "new perspective," the once curmudgeonly father turns suddenly touchy-feely before insisting upon on ushering in a new era of forgiveness among the notoriously disagreeable clan. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Dear community,
I am hereby officially searching for a roleplaying partner that suits my special needs. (Don't get me wrong, the needs are special, not me )
Here we go then, your qualities:
1. Decent English and above all, a vivid language. I'm not saying it has to be dumbstruckingly perfect all the time, but there should be some quiality in your writing.
2. When it comes to mature settings, I am totally the right person for it, but it comes with a limit. Somehow, I always seem to loose interest when it goes into the sex acts. I love to build them up though, and to nibble on the shameful scenes, but the more it progresses, the more dull it will get.
Moving on, to the roles.
I can imagen to play either females, gay males or straight males (preferably the first two mentioned), and I will list some pairings I could indulge myself in:
Student x teacher
Student x student
Fosterchild x fosterbrother
Fosterchild x friend
Child x mother/father (non mature)
Child x adult friend (non mature)
Child x child (non mature)
Vampire x vampire
Prince/ss x servant/stableboy
Scientist x experiment
Master x apprentice
And then we have some examples of possible settings:
Time of war/apocalypse in the city, woods, mountains or village.
Cirkus travelling through the world.
Ancient/Medieval Japan, China, Greece, Europe in general.
Some sort of Game of Thrones inspired play.
I'm also open to normal, modern settings.
Or to a fantasy world if you'd like so.
If you have other propositions, I'm open to them. With these words, I'll leave you now.
Yours sincerely,

My name is Mike and I just recently discovered ZBrush. For the past several weeks I had immersed myself in learning all that I could through all the tutorials that I found (thank goodness there is a whole lot of them, it made my learning ZBrush that much easier. Thank you). Any rate, I just completed my first sculpt for an illustration I am working on and wanted to share and hopefully get some C&C.
I would like to post more assets to this project as I progress, and of course, post the final illustration (assuming I get positive feedback ).
Thanks for your time.

Web Survey Bibliography
Title Using the Multimedia Capabilities of Web-Enabled Probability-Based Survey Methodology to Gather Vaccination Information for the National Immunization Program
Author McCready, W. C., Dennis, J. M., Thalji, L.
Source International Conference on Questionnaire Development, Evaluation, and Testing Methods (QDET), 2002
Year 2002
Access date 26.05.2004
Abstract The Centers for Disease Control elicited a project to survey a sample of first-time parents of children less than 2 years of age and to query them about their attitudes toward several vaccination safety media-messages. Research Triangle Institute & Knowledge Networks designed a project using the Knowledge Networks web-enabled panel that provided an excellent vehicle for (a) conducting the screening to find eligible respondents, and (b) for presenting visual and audio stimuli depicting the various forms of the vaccination communications to be evaluated.
The proposed conference presentation will focus on (1) the elements to be considered in developing a multi-media survey, (2) the experimentation with items formats that was required, (3) the rationale for the design decisions that were made concerning specific question items for this project, and (4) the presentation and evaluation of comparative multimedia survey items as viewed by potential respondents for this health-related project. This discussion may be of interest to a broad audience of researchers who are facing problems and searching for strategies for developing survey items that use the multi-media capabilities of the web to their fullest. Staff from both Research Triangle Institute and Knowledge Networks will participate in making the presentation.
