I, the Young Adult Librarian, cannot read every young adult novel published in a year. These are my favorite books from all the books published within the past twelve months that I have read. Books are listed in alphabetical order by title unless an author has written more than one book on the list. I will do my best not to spoil things. However, some of the books are sequels, and I assume some knowledge of previous books.
All the Truth That's in Me by Julie Berry
Judith disappeared a few years ago. She returned with a portion of her tongue gone. Her secrets slowly unfurl and affect her small community. Judith is a complex character, and I liked how things in the story were not always black and white. The romance was interesting as each of the pair had to overcome their own issues. Wonderfully written with a timeless quality.
Also Known As by Robin Benway
Maggie Silver, safecracker and teenage spy, faces her toughest assignment when she is enrolled in high school to get close to the son of a journalist. Maggie knows how to pick a lock or crack a safe, but her social skills are pretty non-existent. Half the fun of the story is how she navigates new friendships and first love. A delightful story perfect for fans of Ally Carter.
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers
Death's assassin Sybella must return to the home she finally escaped in order to carry out her duty to the order. While helping the knight known as the Beast escape, she gets caught up in romance and intrigue. Sybella is a conflicted yet strong heroine, and the story has plenty of action.
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
Blue and the Raven Boys continue their pursuit of Glenower and face personal problems that affect the friendships. I enjoyed learning more about Ronan and his ability. Blue and Gansey share an emotional scene that broke my heart.
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Eleanor and Park sit next to each other on the bus and slowly begin to interact and form a friendship. The friendship turns into a bittersweet first love. Eleanor has devastating secrets, and the characters (and readers) learn that first love cannot always last. I cried a lot but was glad to have shared their story.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Cath and her twin sister Wren are in their first year of college. Wren wants to forge a separate identity and chooses not to room with her sister. Cath struggles with being without her sister and finds comfort in writing fanfiction about her favorite fantasy book series. As the story progresses, Cath begins to find her way. I rooted for a romance with Levi, and I related to Cath's struggle. I also enjoyed reading Cath's fanfiction.
The Indigo Spell and The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead
In the third and fourth entries in the Bloodlines series, alchemist Sydney Sage gets over her vampire prejudice when she falls for the alluring Moroi Adrian Ivashkov. She must also deal with the ramifications of this relationship and her changing feelings about being an alchemist. Sydney and Adrian appear to be complete opposites, but they balance and support each other. This series has become one of my all-time favorite young adult series.
Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan
From birth, Stephen was cursed with invisibility. Living alone in an apartment complex, he meets Elizabeth, the only person who has ever been able to see him. They move towards first love while attempting to break the curse. Yes, their love is convenient since she is the only one that sees him; yet, I still bought their feelings for each other. A very interesting story.
Mind Games by Kiersten White
Sisters Fia and Annie were raised in a school for psychics and used for corporate espionage. Fia must play by their rules or her sister will be killed. Each sister has her own ability, and the story alternates between their perspectives. Action,romance, and a thrilling story.
Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter
Hale inherits his family's empire and distances himself from Kat and the rest of their crew. Kat realizes that the will might be a forgery, and she must attempt one of her most personal cons ever. Kat and Hale are one of my favorite young adult couples. I really liked finally reading about their first meeting. I did get mad at Hale for his treatment of Kat, but he proved himself in the end.
Poison by Bridget Zinn
Kyra tries to save the kingdom by murdering the princess who is also her best friend. After the attempt fails, Kyra goes on the run picking up a charming companion and a piglet along the way. Magic, mystery and romance combine in this charming tale. I appreciated that the story neatly ended but still had room for sequels. Unfortunately, Bridget Zinn passed away.
The Rules by Stacey Kade
After escaping a genetics lab, Ariane's guardian instructs her to live by a set of rules. When she and classmate Zane pretend to have a romance to get back at a mean girl, the romance starts to become real which most definitely violates the rules. Lots of adventure and great characters.
This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
Graham accidentally sends an email to Ellie, and they become pen pals. She does not know he is a famous actor, and he uses his fame to get his next movie to be filmed in her town. As they date, Ellie tries to decide if the attention from the press and fans is worth it. A sweet teenage romance.
Honorable Mention:
The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
Caymen works in her mother's doll shop that barely makes any money. She knows better than to trust a rich boy, but Xander changes her mind. A nice, quick romantic read with a happy ending.
Just One Day and Just One Year by Gayle Forman
Allyson and Willem share one day together in Paris. In the morning, he is gone, and Allyson tries to move on and find her way during her first year in college. In the second book, the reader follows Willem during the same year as they try to find their way back to each other. A little too light on romance for my usual tastes, but great books about finding yourself whether it is through attending college or traveling.
Stay tuned for a blog post about what books I am looking forward to in 2014.

Thyroid Diseases
How Can I Get Tested?
I am in my 50s and have virtually all the symptoms of low thyroid. I am exhausted all the time and can barely drag myself around. I feel like a clock that is winding down and going to stop. Honestly, I feel like I am dying. Every female in my family, mother, sisters, aunts, was diagnosed with thyroid deficiency at a much younger age than I am now. My dr. won`t test me. He always just says, "You need to lose weight." I have tried and tried to lose weight but honestly, I`m not kidding when I say I can barely drag myself around. I feel like I am moving through the world in slow motion. I am often exhausted after just getting dressed (sometimes have to rest between putting on pants and putting on a top). I get exhausted and out of breath just walking from my house to my car. It is like telling me to fly to the moon to tell me to "exercise." And when I just try to eat less I have even less energy. I can barely stay awake. I often feel more like I`m on the verge of losing consciousness than falling asleep. I really want to have my thyroid tested but my dr just chews me out and says, "There`s no magic pill, you need to lose weight." What words do I have to say to my dr that would make him decide to test my thyroid, or do any other kind of test for that matter, other than just telling me to lose weight? I had a (normal weight) co-worker who had what seem to me like very mild symptoms of 1-2 months` duration and her dr tested her thyroid right away (and diagnosed a thyroid problem and prescribed medication). I`ve been dragging myself around for years and feeling like I am just sliding further and further downhill. I know lots of people who are a lot older than me or fatter than me who don`t seem nearly as disabled as I feel. They actually have normal lives, can go places, do things, don`t dread the thought having to drag themselves more than a few steps at a time, etc. My dr tried giving me antidepressants several times and they did absolutely nothing for me, except for making me gain more weight. What am I doing wrong?
I don't think you are doing anything wrong, and I don't know what else you can say to convince the doctor to order the test. The test for low thyroid levels is a simple blood test, and if your doctor hasn't already done one in the past then I can't think of a reason not to order it now. Are you certain that this is the right doctor for you? Having said that, I must caution you that the symptoms you have described are extremely nonspecific, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if your thyroid levels came back normal. Still, from the history you give, it seems like your symptoms deserve more of an evaluation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/6/2013 (1523 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The bad news is that the format and attitude are instantly familiar.
The good news is that in this case, familiarity doesn't breed contempt.
In creating the new drama Devious Maids, producer Marc Cherry fell back on many of the tricks he employed during eight staggeringly successful seasons of his breakthrough hit, Desperate Housewives. Like that ABC series, Devious Maids is a show about five gorgeous women whose close friendship helps them survive in an overheated corner of the world filled with intrigue, sexual politics, class warfare, illicit romance and, of course, murder and all manner of steamy mayhem.
It might be easy to dismiss this show -- which, by dint of its setting among the inevitably Hispanic maidservant class of Beverly Hills society, is sort of a mash-up of Housewives and Upstairs, Downstairs -- as a not-so-ambitious reworking of material that Cherry and former cast member/current co-executive producer Eva Longoria have already used.
But despite the obvious atmospheric similarities to Cherry's earlier triumph, Devious Maids quickly establishes its own identity and then efficiently gets on with the business of being silly, sassy summer filler.
Devious Maids (and yes, there's a constant temptation to call it Devious Housemaids) follows the Housewives blueprint by opening with a death that will serve as an important narrative and emotional driver for what follows.
In Housewives, it was the suicide of Wisteria Lane resident and series narrator Mary Alice Young; this time, it's the murder of maid Flora Hernandez (Paula Garc©s). During an elaborate party at a Beverly Hills mansion, Flora is accused by her socialite boss, Evelyn Powell (Rebecca Wisocky), of having an affair with creepy hubby Adrian Powell (Tom Irwin).
Moments later, a fatally stabbed Flora staggers out to the patio area and falls face-first into the pool, leaving dozens of guests to watch in horror as blood quickly clouds the water.
A suspect -- neither of the Powells, of course -- is arrested, and the BHPD's detectives prepare to leave. Mrs. Powell surveys the bloody scene in the library where Flora was stabbed and becomes hysterical.
"I don't care about evidence! I don't care about photos! My maid was murdered!" she wails at the cops. "Who is going to clean all this up?"
And with that, the mischievous tone of Devious Maids is set.
In the aftermath of the murder, Cherry expands the show's world to include five other maids who knew Flora and, apparently, feared for her safety while in the Powells' employ. There's Rosie (Dania Ramrez), who works for a couple of stereotypical Hollywood actors whose marriage is in trouble; Carmen (Roselyn S°nchez), an ambitious young woman newly hired to the housekeeping staff of an elusive Latino music star; Zoila and Valentina (Judy Reyes, Valentina Daz), a mother-daughter tandem toiling for a loopy Beverly Hills matron (giddily portrayed by soap veteran Susan Lucci); and Marisol (Ana Ortiz), who has been quickly hired by the Powells as Flora's replacement, and whose first job is to clean up the blood stains left by her predecessor's murder.
Five households means five sets of steam-heated, soap-sudsy storylines, and Cherry, not surprisingly, does an excellent job of making sure all his female leads (and most of the supporting cast, as well) are given lots of wickedly intriguing things to do.
There might be things about Devious Maids that make you feel like you've been down this well-appointed lane before, but there should be enough fresh mixed in with the familiar to convince many viewers that this is a perfect cable-series confection to heat up a few summer nights.

Sledge Hammer & Autopsy
Published: April 18, 2012
Sledge Hammer & Autopsy, An autopsy could be performed as early as Tuesday on the body of a p**n actor who died in an altercation with police as more details emerged about the incident last week.
The LAPD's Force Investigation Division is investigating the death of Marland Anderson — known professionally as Sledge Hammer — after he became violent with paramedics and was restrained by Los Angeles police officers, who used a Taser to stun him.
The incident occurred April 8 in Reseda and he died Friday, five days later, at a hospital.
Authorities say they responded to a call of an attempted suicide at a home in Reseda. When paramedics and officers arrived, they found Anderson with his girlfriend. Anderson had suffered a knife injury, Lt. Andrew Neiman said.
The girlfriend told officers Anderson tried to hurt himself with the knife and she pried it away from him, Neiman said.
He was then handcuffed to a gurney by police for transportation in an ambulance. An officer was riding in the ambulance with paramedics when Anderson became extremely agitated, Neiman said.
Neiman said Anderson tried to stand up but moved with such force that he broke the gurney free from a floor lock and broke the handcuff.

If you read my last post you would have seen that this week has been a very sad week for our family so I hope you will for give me if I haven't visited you this week. A very dear friend of ours passed away this week from breast cancer. It seems so pertinent but also very poignant that Sue passed away in October, the month that is dedicated to breast cancer cancer research. I am therefore posting a Pink post in honour of our dear friend Sue and all of the amazing women who are fighting or have fought this terrible disease.
I would also like to share a link to a new bloggy friend, Jo, who is an amazing lady who blogs at Jo's Corner.
Jo left the following comment on my "Think Pink" blog post and her bravery and faith have inspired me immensely.
I have terminal breast cancer. Sadly, despite having Radical Mastectomies and treatments, the cancer has spread throughout my body. In sharing that, I will say that my spirits are good on most days. And, I have lived much longer than was expected! I'm a Fighter and don't give up easily. Only recently, I've felt some despair that I may be entering my last Holiday Season. THAT makes me sad!

HOUSTON - Houston police said a homeowner shot two suspected home intruders and one was killed.
The shooting happened Thursday about 6:15 p.m. on Tuam Street near St. Emanuel in southeast Houston.
Investigators said two men broke the glass out of a townhome and went inside. Police said the homeowner then grabbed his gun and fired several rounds. Both suspects were hit, officials said.
Investigators said the two men took off and there was a trail of blood leading across Tuam street to where one man died.
Police said they found the getaway car, a gold Jaguar, not far away on Calumet Street. The man in that car was rushed to the hospital.
Investigators treated this as an aggravated robbery case.

1) Mats Zuccarello is Whaled. I hope the kid just had the jitters after being scratched for a few games, but I don't get how he can be demoted so quickly after a bad game. But I did think to myself during the game, he looks like he's playing as if he's mad at being benched. I hope not, and I doubt it. Maybe his confidence is just shot, and his confidence is a huge part of his game because of his size. I just don't know, though, if demoting him at this point is good for him.
2) During the game last night, Nassau Coliseum was promoting its upcoming concerts constantly just below the scoreboard and game clock at center ice. So every time you looked at the board you'd see Islanders 3, Rangers 1 Lady Gaga. Or Islanders 4, Rangers 1 Rihanna. Or Islanders 5, Rangers 1 Britney Spears. And I couldn't help but think that Gaga, Rihanna and Britney could have killed off that 5-on-3.
3) Gaborik won't be suspended. This is news? Why would anybody think he'd be suspended. He hit the kid Neilsen from the side. Neilsen turned toward the boards. Gaborik didn't hit him anywhere near the head. It was a boarding penalty, a minor, pure and simple and correct. And if Neilsen didn't turn — an attempt to draw the call perhaps? — it wouldn't have even been a penalty. And there's no way Gaborik could have been suspended, while Todd Bertuzzi's flying elbow and Zdeno Chara's smack into the turnbuckle went unpunished. No way.
4) If the Rangers go 2-2 in their last four, Carolina will need to get seven of 10 remaining points. And since Carolina has to play Buffalo, the Sabres aren't out of the woods yet, either. I guess the question is, can the Rangers go 2-2 or better? And how's that all going to look if they don't beat the Flyers Sunday?
5) For those who suggested trading Gaborik … please. First, he has a no-trade. Second, who is going to take an injury-plagued guy making $7.5M per for the next three years, especially one coming off his worst NHL season? Third, there's a much better chance Gaborik rebounds with a good year next year than there is a chance of getting a viable first-line replacement for him. And let's not forget, the guy practically got the Rangers into the playoffs by himself — well, with Lundqvist — last season.
6) The Rangers haven't announced the Zuccarello demotion yet. So I'm wondering … maybe it's just a paper transaction (don't know why it would be, but I don't know a lot of stuff about technicalities regarding demotions and recalls). And wondering if it's temporary and he'll be back up after getting a game in Hartford. And wondering if another player is coming up for Philly or if they're going to live and die with Wolski at this point.

Catch up on the Latest Facebook Chat with S.L.E. Lupus Foundation and Hospital for Special Surgery
Did you miss our latest Facebook Chat with Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) that took place on November 6th? Don't worry – we'll catch you up!
The live chat, titled "Lupus and General Health," addressed a wide range of topics ranging from cold weather and joint pain to prescription assistance. Professionals from HSS and the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation emphasized the importance of keeping close contact with your physician or rheumatologist, as every case of lupus is different.
Picture six people in a room typing as fast as they can to answer as many questions as they possibly can in one hour:
Jessica Rowshandel, M.S.W. S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Director of Social Services
Doruk Erkan, MD HSS Rheumatologist
Joanna Harp, MD HSS Dermatologist
Jane Salmon, MD HSS Rheumatologist
Lisa Sammaritano, MD HSS Rheumatologist
Erica Sandoval, M.S.W. HSS Social Worker
Here are some of the highlights of what was a great discussion:
How safe is it to have a baby with lupus?
Dr. Sammaritano says, "There are certain issues to keep in mind: pregnancy should be planned for a time when disease has been quiet for 6 months and when you are on medications that are considered safe for pregnancy. Your rheumatologist and obstetrician will work with you as a team to optimize your pregnancy outcome."
Is there a link between cold weather and increase in joint pain?
Dr. Salmon says, "Many patients note that their joint pain is worse in cold weather. Changing seasons also may increase pain...but we don't understand why. Changes in hormones may influence immunologic function. Again, we can neither anticipate nor prevent these changes in lupus disease activity."
Is there a way that I can receive assistance for my prescriptions?
Ms. Rowshandel says, "There is a list of prescription assistance programs at http://www.lupusny.org/downloads/RX_Resources.pdf. You can also try calling the prescription company directly and see if they can help you. Sometimes your doctor can do this, as well."
Ms. Sandoval says, "It is difficult to be without insurance and needing to fill scripts for medications. There are some programs you can look into that can help with this. RXassist.org can help accessing affordable medication."
Do hives and angioedema have any association with lupus?
Dr. Harp says, "Hives and angioedema can be related to low complement, which can be seen in active lupus. Often treatments for lupus can help hives and angioedema but sometimes you need additional medications (antihistamines, etc), so you should see a dermatologist."
Does being on a blood thinner lessen the chance of diagnosis through lab work?
Dr. Erkan says, "Blood thinners will not interfere with the lupus or Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) tests except one: Lupus anticoagulant test (one of the APS tests). It can be false positive or false negative in patients who receive blood thinners."
It is essential to stay informed about lupus and your general health. For more information about topics discussed in the live chat, visit S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Facebook Page and our website lupusny.org.
We are so pleased to collaborate with HSS on these Facebook chats – our patients have the benefit of the combined resources and talent of two organizations committed to the lupus community. And more patients are benefiting. An analysis presented at this year's American College of Rheumatology annual meeting showed that since HSS invited us to co-host the Chats, participation has increased by 200 percent. We will keep you posted on the date of our next Chat – you won't want to miss it.

Whenever Steve Nash isn't playing point guard for the Lakers, you'll be sure to find him playing soccer, a sport that runs in his family.
However, when summer comes around, the two-time NBA MVP and part-owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps finds himself at a local park showcasing his annual event.
Going into its sixth year, Steve Nash's Foundation Showdown, a charity soccer event benefiting underserved children, made its way to Los Angeles for the first time at Red Shield Community Center near downtown.
"We love having our events in the community because this is where we all started playing," Nash said. "We wanted to come back and show everybody that we're just like everyone in this community who grew up playing in parks like this."
Last month the Steve Nash Foundation hosted its sixth annual Showdown in New York City, continuing its mission to champion kids' health and helping children get educational, health and motivational support.
The showdown consists of an 8-on-8 soccer match played in two 20-minute periods showcasing celebrity athletes from the NBA and soccer's best from around the world. The showdown is free to the public.
Showdown participants included Jeremy Lin, Jared Dudley, Robbie Keane, Robbie Rogers, Carlo Cudicini, Carlos Bocanegra, John O'Brien, Kyle Martino and other NBA and professional soccer players.
"Any time you get a group of people to take a timeout to be able to give back to the community, I think that's really important," said Lin, a point guard for the Houston Rockets. "I think this has to be one of the top things that we should do."
Team Nash came away with a 5-4 victory over Team Robbie, thanks to Nash's winning goal with a minute left.
For most participants, this was their first time playing on a soccer field, but many played through the embarrassment, knowing the event was for a good cause.
Especially Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson, who participated and scored two goals, one of those coming off an assist by Lin.
"Two goals, but too many turnovers," Thompson said. "It was so much fun out there, being with these football players was a lot of fun, really humbling to see how good they are with their feet."
When asked if he was looking forward to doing this again, he simply responded "Oh yeah, oh yeah, love soccer."
The Steve Nash Foundation aims to foster health in kids by funding projects that provide services to children affected by poverty, illness, abuse, or neglect, and creates opportunities for education, play and empowerment.
"This is my second season being a participant," said Rogers, a midfielder for the L.A. Galaxy. "It's just a really fun event and a great cause to benefit the youth of the United States.
"It's a great event to be a part of, it's fun to be out here with these guys and obviously it's just a great cause. I always enjoy myself."
All proceeds from ticket sales, an auction and merchandise sales will benefit the Foundation's work to increase access to high-quality early learning resources to children through Educare, and SNF's platform to advance research around root causes of child abuse and trauma-informed care.
"Phenomenal crowd today, what a great neighborhood," Nash said. "An absolutely beautiful environment here with the sun setting in.
"I thank all these great fans for coming out to the Red Shield Community Center, and the players put on a terrific show. My hats off to everybody for taking part in making this a great event."
Following the game, Nash and his friends rolled out the red carpet for the "Showdown After Hours" live auction event.
Both Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes will televise the event on Tuesday.

Shepherd's pie: It's serious comfort food. Thick, flavorful sauce, gamey lamb, bits of vegetables – it's everything you want in a hearty Irish meal. However, it's not exactly appetizer- or party-friendly. So how do you enjoy it on St. Patrick's Day, when it's practically required to have a beer (green or not) in one hand at all times? You transform it into a hand pie, complete with parsley "clovers."
Here's how.
These mini pies combine the best flavors of Shepherd's pie in a convenient handheld package. I used potato chunks, but if you have leftover mashed potatoes, omit the potatoes and add the mashers when you remove the filling from the heat. The parsley on top isn't just decorative; it adds extra crunch to the top of the pie.
Shepherd's Hand Pies With Crispy Parsley
Adapted from Melissa D'Arabian and Handheld Pies
Makes 10-12 3-inch hand pies
Cream Cheese Crust
4 oz. cold butter (1 stick)
4 oz. cream cheese
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup whole milk, plus 2-3 tablespoons
Cut the butter and cream cheese into 1/2-inch cubes; store in the freezer while you prep the rest of the ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients in the food processor, pulse to combine. Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the mixture looks like small peas. Add the milk and pulse until combined. If the mixture still looks dry, add 2-3 more tablespoons milk, pulsing after each addition. Chill while you prep the filling, at least 30 minutes.
Shepherd's Pie Filling
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 lb. ground lamb
2 medium carrots, diced
1 medium Yukon gold potato, diced (or 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes)
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon flour
1 can dark beer (such as Guinness)
Splash heavy cream
Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook until light brown, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add lamb and cook until brown. Add carrots, potato, peas, garlic and thyme. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and flour and cook for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan with a splash of dark beer, scraping brown bits off the bottom of the pan. When the liquid has almost evaporated, add the rest of the can of beer (less whatever you might have sampled.) Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid by half, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream (about 1 tablespoon.) Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let cool slightly while you roll the pastry.
Pie Construction
1 egg
1/4 cup water
Pastry brush
Salt and pepper to taste
3-inch biscuit cutter
10-12 sprigs Italian parsley
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with half of the dough on a floured surface, roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds with the 3-inch biscuit cutter (you'll need 2 for every pie.) Spoon about a teaspoon of filling onto half of the crusts. Place the other half of the rounds atop to form a round pie. Seal the edges using a fork.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl, then add about 1/4 cup water. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each pie with egg wash. Find the most attractive sprigs of parsley your bunch as to offer and pinch off the 3-leafed tip. Set atop the pie and coat with a little more egg wash.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

The Alban opened its summer production of Neil Simon's "Lost in Yonkers" Thursday night. Set in 1942, in the middle of World War II, the entire play takes place in the living room of an immigrant grandmother, a Jew who fled Germany to open a candy store in Yonkers. Sounds idyllic, does it not? Well, maybe idyllic is overreaching.
Although at times witty and charming, the play also has the ability to quickly turn dark and depressing due in no small part to Grandma Kurnitz, played by Terry Terpening . A stoic and bitter little woman, she toughens her children and grandchildren by withholding affection.
Terpening does a fantastic job shuffling around the stage with a believable German accent, wielding her cane like a weapon of deadly force and accusing everyone from her sons and daughters to her grandchildren of being thieves and crybabies. There is very little to like about her character, although Simon must have found something about her appealing as he set the rest of the characters in a perpetual state of trying to earn her love.
Particularly charming in their shenanigans of trying to simultaneously please and thwart Grandma Kurnitz are her grandsons, Jay (Micah Doss) and Arty (Kyle Casto). These two young men are charming and witty. They shine with tremendous talent and are quite convincing as young brothers temporarily abandoned into the care of an unfeeling relative. Their complex young characters make the best out of a sofa bed, a handful of postcards from dad and a family of strangers.
Not only are the family members strangers to the two young wards, they couldn't possibly get much stranger, consisting of: maiden Aunt Bella (Brooke Hirst), a childlike woman with a few screws loose, their gangster Uncle Louie (Brian Roller) and their wheezing Aunt Gert (Randi Vaughan).
The kids make the best of it though while their dad, Eddie (Anthony Vickers), is away trying to raise money to pay off a loan shark.
Productions set entirely in one room are always risky. They depend solely on the ability of the actors to portray their characters almost exclusively through dialog and body language. Actors are left to create realistic relationships and emotion for the audience, relying heavily on their own talent and the chemistry with their fellow actors. In these things the Alban did not disappoint.
The characters and their relationships are believable and, in turn, each one has the opportunity to shine. They come across as very real, like everyday people whose lives the audience momentarily intrudes upon. Like a real family, they obviously care for one another even though they only express their love through broken means.
There is nothing catastrophic about "Lost in Yonkers," no climactic height of action, no brilliant revelations, but in its quiet unassuming way it is real. In flashing moments it laid bare the human soul, the desire to love and to be loved within our brokenness.
This is an unobtrusive production, and amidst the chaos of opening nights and FestivALL it could easily be overlooked. It shouldn't be. It is well worth your time and money to catch this show. It is suitable for families although children under 11 or 12 may not enjoy it as much as older kids.
"Lost in Yonkers" runs June 20th, 21st, 27th and 28th at 8:00 p.m. and June 22nd and 29th at 2:00 p.m. Do yourself a favor, go see it.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/7/2012 (1858 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With the rise of cinema a century ago, the experts began predicting the imminent death of live theatre. The invention of television a few decades later surely would hammer the final nails into theatre's coffin. Yet it survives, if not exactly central to our culture, at least as an enduring aspect of it.
The 25th Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, which began its 12-day run on Wednesday, provides much evidence for a continued healthy prognosis. The fringe's organizers at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre are hoping to sell 100,000 tickets this year. Anything over 88,000 would be a record high, as are the number of productions this year, 172, in 31 separate venues.
The city's downtown, specifically the Exchange District around Old Market Square, never feels livelier than it does during the Fringe. Summer heat, throngs of playgoers, visitors from all over, crazy sights and sounds -- eat your heart out, Greenwich Village.
While people from all demographics watch TV and go to the movies, mainstream theatre's audience has become, primarily, well-heeled, white and older. That's why the Fringe quickens the blood of theatre administrators; it attracts teenagers and 20-somethings, who flock to the improv and sketch-comedy productions.
Unfortunately, the younger audiences at the Fringe have not transfused much new blood into mainstream theatre, in Winnipeg or elsewhere. A Fringe ticket, mind you, is $10, about the same as an admission to the movie multiplex, while a ticket to RMTC is five or 10 times that.
Mainstream theatre audiences in Winnipeg have stayed relatively stable in recent years. Last year's return of the Jets may have siphoned off some discretionary entertainment dollars -- even the folk festival's audience dropped this year -- but the connection remains a matter of speculation. RMTC saw a 10 per cent decline in subscribers to 15,000 this past season, though to be fair, its patron base is higher than of any other regional theatre in Canada.
Historically, Winnipeg has long been a good theatre town. St. Boniface's Le Cercle Molière is the country's oldest professional company and RMTC is the first regional English-language company, if you don't count Ontario's Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Among other Winnipeg boasts: Canada's only outdoor theatre devoted to musicals, Rainbow Stage; an outdoor Shakespeare company, Shakespeare in the Ruins; one of Canada's two children's theatre companies, Manitoba Theatre for Young People; and RMTC's Master Playwright Festival, a dead-of-January event that no other northern city this side of Moscow would even conceive.
We also support several secondary stages. The best-established among them, Prairie Theatre Exchange, grew out of RMTC's old theatre school in the late '70s, and since 1988, when it relocated to the third floor of the Portage Place Shopping Centre, has been devoted mostly to Canadian plays. Having originated such Manitoba classics as Wendy Lill's The Fighting Days and Patrick Friesen's The Shunning, PTE remains a model of responsibly managed arts groups, of which Winnipeg has several.
Public subsidy remains a necessity if Canada is to have a performing arts sector, and in this theatre is no different from ballet, opera or the visual arts. Numerous studies have shown the spinoff impact of arts subsidies more than repays their investment. The Harper government, with its largely undeserved reputation for unfriendliness toward the arts, has not tinkered much with the formula, as it should not.
Goodness knows, challenges remain. PTE has initiated a campaign to raise $4 million for two endowment funds. MTYP has a deficit of $1.6 million and RMTC lost $420,000 this past season, its first significant loss in years. All this in a climate of fundraising overshadowed by the shortfall facing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. One could read the tea leaves and pronounce the imminent death of the theatre. But the experts have been wrong before.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Efforts to repeal red light cameras will be on the front burner when state lawmakers begin their annual legislative session next week, and this year's effort to end the cameras has powerful friends.
A legislative study lists eight courses of actions lawmakers could take to improve red-light camera operation. The most sweeping is requiring cities and counties to use any money collected on improving traffic safety.
Florida's two most powerful lawmakers, the speaker of the house and the president of the Senate, both support ending red-light cameras, but their power has limits.
"I don't think that the votes are there to do a complete repeal," said Sen. Don Gaetz.
One of the reasons repeal is likely doomed this year is inconclusive data. A recent legislative report found there were 1,186 more crashes at red-light intersections after the cameras went up, but 18 fewer people died.
Perhaps an even bigger obstacle to repeal: The cameras produced $118 million in revenue last year, split almost evenly between the state and local governments.
"I think that there are a couple proposals that would maintain red-light cameras to save lives but eliminate red-light cameras as a way to either enrich government or enrich some out-of-state vendors," Gaetz said.
The Florida League of Cities is on the defensive, asking lawmakers to stand down.
"Red-light cameras save lives," said Casey Cook with Florida League of Cities. "We believe that they stop dangerous T-bone collisions and they make our streets safer."
Last year, lawmakers extended the time to pay the $158 fine and they created an appeal process. Cities and counties said the changes are only a few months old and need time to work.
"We haven't had enough time yet to study those changes to see if they were effective or not," Cook said.
While the ticket-producing cameras may not be doomed this year, all local governments could soon be forced to report the data.

* Rebels want direct talks with President Bozize
* Bangui residents preparing for rebel onslaught
* Rebel fighters within 75 km of capital, spokesman says
Rebels in Central African Republic could enter the capital Bangui as early as "tonight, or tomorrow morning" if President Francois Bozize refuses their conditions for peace talks, a rebel spokesman said on Sunday.
The three-week-old Seleka rebellion has advanced to within 75 km (45 miles) of Bangui, posing the most serious threat yet to Bozize's nearly 10 years in charge of the turbulent and resource-rich former French colony.
African Union Chairman Thomas Yayi Boni is due to meet Bozize on Sunday to lay the groundwork for peace talks in Gabon with Seleka, an alliance of three armed groups that accuses Bozize of failing to honour a 2007 deal under which members who laid down their guns were meant to be paid.
Seleka said it is demanding direct talks with Bozize along with guarantees of safety for its generals.
"We are waiting to see what comes out of today's meeting between Bozize and ... Yayi Boni before we make a final decision," rebel spokesman Nelson Ndjadder said by telephone from France. "We could march into Bangui tonight or tomorrow morning," he said.
Ndjadder said the rebel force numbered around 3,000 and was growing as new fighters joined during a swift advance from the country's northwest since early December.
The rebel onslaught has highlighted the instability of a country that has remained poor and turbulent since independence from France in 1960, despite rich deposits of uranium, gold and diamonds.
The last time rebels reached Bangui was in 2003 during the insurgency that initially swept Bozize to power.
Residents in the ramshackle riverside capital have either fled or stockpiled food and water in their homes in preparation for a rebel onslaught.
The streets of the city were largely deserted on Sunday morning save for military patrols and a trickle of churchgoers. Youths carrying machetes had set up makeshift barricades along main roads during a driving ban imposed overnight.
"There is a great deal of fear here now, and people are hiding their belongings and seeking safety," said Genael Dongonbo, a student at Bangui University who hails from the northern town of Bambari. "I'd also like to leave, but I have no money and the rebels have already seized my town."
With a government that holds little sway outside the capital, some parts of the country have long endured the consequences of conflicts spilling over from troubled neighbours Chad, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Central African Republic is one of a number of countries in the region where U.S. Special Forces are helping local forces try to track down the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel group which has killed thousands of civilians across four nations.
Regional neighbours agreed on Friday to send more troops to shore up CAR's army after a string of defeats this month, and after French President Francois Hollande rejected a plea for Western military help made by Bozize last week.
The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS)already has more than 500 peacekeepers in CAR. Officials did not say how many more would be added or when they would arrive.
The United States said on Thursday it had closed its embassy in Bangui and evacuated its staff.
About 1,200 French nationals live in CAR, mostly working for mining firms and aid groups in the capital. French defence ministry sources said Paris had sent 150 troops to Bangui late on Friday to bolster an existing 250-strong deployment safeguarding French citizens.

Whoops. Last night both Michelle Obama and Ann Romney wore matching hot pink ensembles to watch their hubbies, in similarly matching dark suit-white-shirt-little flag-pin ensembles – verbally duke it out at Hofstra University. Given how close this election seems to be, both though it was probably time for a bold statement, reaching out to women, attracting the "soft" vote, showing awareness of healthcare issues, etc. It's just unfortunate they chose the same statement.

A FEISTY pensioner was dragged along the pavement as she battled with three muggers trying to steal her handbag.
Gran Rosemary Wetton was left with dozens of cuts and bruises to her arms and legs after she tried to fight off an attack by the gang of teenage boys.
The 67-year-old, who suffers from arthritis, had been walking home from Blackburn town centre when she felt someone behind her reach out and grab her handbag.
She said: "It all happened so fast. I heard murmuring behind me and then a sharp pull of my bag.
"Instinctively I grabbed hold of it and refused to hand it over. I know they say you should give them what they want and play dead but I have never been brought up like that.
"Even though I was scared I just kept telling myself 'hang on to your bag'. It was like a tug of war."
The mum-of-one had been out to collect a prescription from her doctors and caught a bus to the Boulevard in Blackburn town centre.
As the retired shop worker walked to her home in the Wensley Fold area of town at around 7.15pm on Thursday, she was targeted by the youths.
Detectives working on the case recovered Mrs Wetton's large red handbag in an alleyway close by.
Mrs Wetton said: "I think the teenagers who stole my bag were looking for cash and things to sell. They probably wanted the money for drugs or alcohol.
"I luckily only had £15 in my purse.
"They took that but they left me with two five pence pieces.
"I was really lucky as I stupidly forgot I had left my post office card and pincode in my purse together. I think they missed that though because they were rushing and inexperienced."
Mrs Wetton said she had been left shaken and upset by the attack.
She said: "The kind police lady asked me about how I felt about going out alone. I told her I don't have much choice, but this has left me feeling really frightened.
"The fall has really affected my arthritis and I am now really struggling to move.
"I think if these lads are ever caught they should be sent to train with the army, it might change their lives around.
"I urge anyone who saw me or the lads to come forward as I would hate for this to happen to anyone else.
"When I think about what could of happened it makes me feel cold. It's like poor Nellie Geraghty in Manchester, she kept on to her husbands ashes and died because of it."
Mrs Geraghty, 79, was found on the ground clutching her torn handbag strap near to her home in Oldham, last November.
She had been carrying her husband Frank's ashes when she was targeted by a drug addict. She later died in hospital from her injuries.
Mark Royle, 37, is now serving a 28 year prison sentence for murder.
DI Mark Vaughton, of Blackburn CID is leading the investigation. He said: "What these offenders did to this elderly lady is cowardly.
"They clearly picked on someone they thought was a vulnerable victim.
"I urge anyone who was in the Belle Vue area of Blackburn to come forward if they remember seeing three young lads running away towards Johnson Street."
The three attackers are described as young, having local accents and were wearing dark clothing and hoodies. Police said they are not linking the crime with three other recent robberies in the town centre.
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

A believer's controlling his anger prevents harmful reactions likely to be caused by it. In the Qur'an Allah reveals this as follows:
Those who give in times of both ease and hardship, those who control their rage and pardon other people-Allah loves the good-doers. (Surah Al 'Imran; 134)
Although rage may surface as an instant reaction in particular situations, a believer should comply with the description in this verse by controlling his anger. That is because rage clouds one's mind and hinders sound reasoning. In such a case, a person runs the risk of transgressing the limits of Allah, since the emotional judgments he makes under the influence of anger will usually be rash and incompatible with Qur'anic ethics.
A believer must immediately strive to overcome resentment he feels pertaining to personal matters, especially toward other believers, and try to replace it with compassion and mercy. If a person's anger is based on unjust grounds, then he has no right to be furious in the first place. He must accept his mistake, apologize and make up for his misbehavior. But even if he was in the right, he must still control his anger, and in compliance with the verse, it is better to forgive.
Our holy Prophet (saas), the mercy on the worlds, revealed the importance of overcoming anger in a hadith: ... According to what is narrated from Ibn-i Umar (ra); the Messenger of Allah (saas) said, "There is no greater morsel, in terms of merit in the Sight of Allah, than the anger a believer swallows solely for Allah's approval." (Ibn Majah, Vol. 10, p. 462)
What has been related so far concerns the mundane situations believers are likely to encounter. Apart from these, there is a group of people who become angry at the least provocation. They actually fail to grasp some basic faith-related issues, such as putting one's trust in Allah or recognizing the fact that all people are under His control. This weakness of faith manifests itself in the form of anger. In order to cope, they first need to establish faith on solid grounds.
The believer's public spirit must not be confused with that of other people. It is a perfectly correct attitude, stemming from faith, for a believer to have public spirit when believers are treated unjustly and oppressed or when they are insulted and attacked. This is a feeling that motivates believers and increases their desire and fervor for the intellectual struggle.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/3/2013 (1622 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Roberto -- not his real name -- passed away four weeks ago.
His family is still trying to figure out who will get his access to Netflix account for free movies, how to get back the money left in his PayPal accounts, how to unlock his Facebook page so they can shut it down, and how to track down his Flickr, Smug Mug and Picasa accounts to find the stored pictures from the last few family get-togethers.
They need to find the records for his online bank and investment accounts, but do not have any paper statements in the house.
Having accessed Roberto's smartphone, the family was shocked, and ultimately pleased, to find out he was having a torrid online affair with a woman in Oklahoma.
Twenty years ago, we did not have to worry about passwords, online access and Facebook friends when someone passed away. There was no concern about accessing online banking and checking electronic transfers and bill payments because paper records for bank and investment accounts were always available.
Now, figuring out a person's online life is becoming a big part of the estate-settlement process.
Many accounts are only stored online, and the same great security systems that protect our data pose a huge obstacle to executors' attempts to gather the information necessary to settle an estate.
Step one in addressing this issue is to think about it. What are all of the online obstacles and assets that someone will need to access if you passed away. Make a list of the items and potential issues this would create.
Are there items with either sentimental or monetary value that should be addressed in your will, or in an accompanying personal effects memo? Since these things can change frequently, I strongly recommend the second document, but this is a talk you and your lawyer should have.
If you're like me, you are already having trouble keeping track of all your online accounts, user names, passwords and PINs. That challenge means listing them somewhere, in spite of what we have always been told about security, and memorizing and destroying all passwords.
There are several options. My favourite is a written list (OK, call me old school...) that leaves out a few characters from each item, but gives you the memory prompt you need. But for your estate, you will need to provide a full list, which you have to put somewhere safe, but where your executor will know where to find it.
Some people have a password-protected file in their computer, tablet or smartphone that shows all such info. That works as well, but has the same challenge of making sure your executor has access.
Online services are also available, such as Lastpass and 1Password. The geeks tell me any fears and insecurities about sending my data through the cloud are unfounded.
Make sure the right person has the access information.
Also outline in writing how you want these things handled. Do you want a Facebook shrine set up, or do you want it shut down?
What about shopping or payment services? Do these have value? Who gets it and how do they recover it?
Email is a big issue. As I understand it, Google requires a death certificate in order to access a deceased person's account, but Yahoo may require a court order.
Sorry to start your weekend off with one more thing to think about but, hey, that's my job!

Jet Star Roller Coaster Removal From Ocean Begins [VIDEO]
A barge is working to begin the removal of the Jet Star roller coaster from the water off Seaside Heights.
Townsquare Media's Tom Mongelli describes a "Fourth Of July" atmosphere as crowds on the boardwalk anticipate Prince Harry's visit and the start of work to remove the Jet Star roller coaster.
It should take about four days to remove the ride, said Maria Mastoris, a spokeswoman for Casino Pier.
"We are thrilled about this," she said. "We've been waiting for this for a long time. It shows we're making progress and that we'll be open and ready for the summer."
Images of the coaster in the water have appeared hundreds of times in the media and been used to help sell memorabilia to raise money for storm victims. The coaster is featured on a popular car magnet sold by one of the many charities raising money.
It also continues to draw large crowds to the Seaside Heights boardwalk, which remains under reconstruction.
Casino Pier has hired Weeks Marine, an experienced maritime contractor, to do the work.
"They're planning on taking it apart piece by piece and taking it away, Mastoris said. "They're going to take a crane around and take pieces off."
Works crews will operate around the clock until the last of the coaster has been removed.
In January, a man who lives nearby climbed to the top of the coaster and unfurled an American flag atop it before climbing down and being arrested by police. His municipal court case has yet to come to trial.
The project will start a few hours after Britain's Prince Harry departs from Seaside Heights. He's visiting the Ocean County community on Tuesday as part of a tour of America.

I discovered today that Ancestry has a series of education seminars, they call them Webinars, available online. You have to go to their .com site, for some reason they are not available on their .co.uk site – or at least I couldn't find them!
You can register and view them as they happen, but of course they are broadcast from USA so the time might not be convenient for you, but all is not lost because there is access to them on demand. I have viewed a part of the seminar on English genealogy and it seems very good.I'll be going back when I have more time to browse and view others.
I wonder if there is any chance of the UK site asking some of our own well known genealogists to present such seminars, I could supply a list of speakers and subjects if they care to ask me !!
Take a look and see what you think, you will need a subs to Ancestry to gain access.

Highlights from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on 27 July 2012
TAKING CARE OF A PATIENT IS A GREAT DEED THAT WILL BE GREATLY REWARDED. IT IS A GREAT WAY OF WORSHIPPING ALLAH, A BEAUTIFUL WAY OF GAINING ALLAH'S PLEASURE. IT WILL BE A VERY FAMOUS QUALITY OF HZ. MAHDI (AS) (HELPING PATIENTS). Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) says, "HZ.MAHDI (AS) WILL CARRY PATIENTS ON HIS BACK." In other words, carrying a patient, let alone taking care of him, is a very difficult job. The hadith means that he will help patients under the most difficult conditions. It is a trait of Hz. Mahdi (as). And we are the students of Hz. Mahdi (as). Therefore, we will help patients, the needy, the poor as much as we can, using every possibility, all the time, all the means we have. It's our destiny.
(SPIRITUALLY) DEAD PEOPLE ARE ENEMIES OF ALLAH. THEY ARE HOSTILE AND DESPICABLE LIKE GERMS BUT PEOPLE CANNOT RECOGNIZE THEM. They walk amongst people, doing all kinds of filthy deeds. But since they very much look like normal human beings, you cannot recognize them. For example, when you show him something he says he can see it, he says he cannot hear you. Actually Allah says in the verse that; "They neither see nor hear", so they live in their second-selves. They live like zombies. THERE ARE MANY (SPIRITUALLY) DEAD PEOPLE AROUND, BUT YOU CANNOT RECOGNIZE THEM. If people actually noticed them, they would be terrified. They are real dead people, just like the dead people in the graveyards. They have no consciousness. Allah created them only for our test. They are creatures capable of all kinds of filth and psychopathic actions. Allah says, "You think they are alive, but they are dead". This is a secret given by Allah. A special secret of Allah.
Surah Ibrahim
" And why indeed should we not put our trust in Allah when He has guided us to our ways??" A person has must be insane not to put his trust in Allah. Trusting Allah is the greatest luxury ever, the greatest comfort you could ever taste. IT HAS AN EFFECT NOT EVEN THE BEST ANTI-DEPRESSANT CAN ACHIEVE. TRUST IS MUCH BETTER THAN ANY MEDICATION YOU COULD TAKE FOR PAIN RELIEF. People who trust Allah are always very happy, very healthy and cheerful. Those people don't usually have health problems.
Those who were disbelievers said to their Messengers, 'We will drive you from our land unless you return to our religion.' Their Lord revealed to them, 'We will destroy those who do wrong.
"Those who were disbelievers said to their Messengers:" Allah doesn't say 'that', He says 'those' and they do bad things all the time, like they are obsessive-compulsives . " We will drive you from our land" in other words, "We won't allow you to live here, in our lands, in our city." To do that, they can slander, threaten, say 'We don't want you there'. "...unless you return to our religion." In other words, to their understanding of religion. Whatever religion that society has. "Their Lord revealed to them, 'We will destroy those who do wrong.." WHY DID GADDAFI HAVE TO GO? IN LINE WITH THIS DIVINE RULE. WHY DID SADDAM HAVE TO GO? BECAUSE ALLAH WANTED IT. MUSSOLINI, STALIN, HITLER, LENIN, THEY ALL HAD TO GO BECAUSE ALLAH WANTED THEM TO GO. ALLAH CAUGHT THEM AND THEY COULDN'T GO AGAINST ALLAH'S ORDERS. THAT WAS THEIR DESTINY.

Topic: Sterotactic Body Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Intrahe
My Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Parag Parikh, told me that he is actively seeking participants in his clinical trial of Sterotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), entitled "Sterotactic Body Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma," numbered "Siteman Cancer Center Number 09-1345." He is at Washington University Medical School, affiliated with Barnes/Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. The number he gave me for calls was 1-800-600-3606. The web address I believe is firstname.lastname@example.com. He welcomes prescreened callers whose cancers have been determined to be non-resectable, preferably but not necessarily having been treated with one of the standard HCC or ICC chemotherapy regimens, and who have no metasteses or lymph node involvement.

Hi guys,
I am working on a site that has a header that spans the entire page width (see below). I've run into a bit of an issue. I'm unsure how I should be styling the background. Is it acceptable to have the black bar and background gradient in one image that is say 20x700px repeating-x as my body background (the bit in the red boundary) then just put my content in a container (the blue boundary)?
Many thanks
That's certainly an option, but my preference is to have a div that's 100% wide at the top for the background, and have a centered div inside that for the header content. then have the rest of the site content in a separate, centered wrapper below that.
One advantage of this is that, if text is enlarged, the header content won't spill down beyond the black band across the top. Instead, it can just expand with the content.
I think I did that orginally, I got stuck when it came to inserting the content though. I couldn't work out how to centre my content that is in the header if you see what I mean. But would you have something like so:

Thanks as ever Ralph!
How do you style the height for that?
I'd not use a background div and instead move the background to your body.

content

main content goes here
#header {
overflow:hidden; /* contain floats */
.inner, #wrap {
Thanks, just thought of another question then: Does using percentages over fixed pixel width make it more responsive i.e. more versatile.
I would move the bg image to the #header div, as then it can expand/contract with the content in the .inner div.
Maybe this has been said already, or maybe I am misunderstanding the challenge here...It seems to me that you need 3 bg tiles and the following structure:

...

..

..

Make a tile of that chipped gray pattern assign it as the REPEATING bg of the body tagMake a tile of the black top INCLUDING THE DROP SHADDOW ON THE GRAY of the body, let's call it hedTyle1.jpg assign #hed {bakground:url(hedTyle1.jpg ) repeat-x left bottom #000;}Make a tile of the black top INCLUDING THE DROP SHADDOW ON THE WHITE of the content , let's call it hedTyle2.jpg assign #hed .center {bakground:url(hedTyle2.jpg ) repeat-x left bottom #000;}
.center is a generic center class {margin: 0 auto; width: (the width or your page in EMs, %s or PXs as needed)}
DO NOT assign HEIGHT!!! but you may want to add a few PXs padding-bottom to #hed .center so that the content doesnt o on the drop shadow part.
After that all you have to do is #content{background:#fff;} and #foot{background:maroon;}
Style the rest of your layout as needed.
Hope that simplifies things for you.
Thanks for the advice guys, I've just about finished with the page however I'm getting issues when viewing in IE7 and IE Compatibility mode. The page can be seen here:http://www2.hull.ac.uk/files/homepageBuildFeb/css/uniHomepage.html In IE7 and Compat mode it gives the following header:
If I remove the padding as suggested by Dresden then I get no banner in Chrome Firefox etc.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks again
Perhaps modify your styles a bit, like so:
div#centre {
background: url("../images/headTyl2.png") repeat-x scroll left bottom #000000;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 40px;
padding-top: 10px;
width: 960px;
See if that works better.
That did it, could you explain what this has done please?
Thanks again!
The overflow:hidden was needed because you have children who float, and as a result the parent doesn't recognize they are even there. Children being floated, to the parent, is like them not even being there. The overflow:hidden makes the parent recognize the floated children and thus will contain them. Most likely your parent collapsed in height (due to it not even recognizing it had children).
Hopefully that was enough of an explanation.
