11.22.99: While I was at the Gotham Comedy Club last Thursday, I took some pictures. I've scanned six of them, you can check them out by clicking here.
11.14.99: Just thought you'd like to know that Lizz has been added to the ballot of the Deja.com Comedienne poll. Click here to vote for her. Feel free to vote, although I personally would give her all 5's across the board. I mean, how can you not give her all 5's? Come on, people!
And don't forget to reserve your seats for tonight's show at the Gotham Comedy Club. It's a night of chick comedy, hosted by Lizz, as part of the Marshalls Women in Comedy Festival. The show starts at 8:30 PM, and tickets are $8 each.
11.11.99: First off, thanks to everyone who showed up at Gotham Comedy Club today for the symposium... Now don't forget to return this Sunday night! Yes, I, of all people, have failed to let you in on another show Lizz will be doing during the Marshalls Women in Comedy Festival. This Sunday, November 14th, Lizz will host an array of funny ladies including Allison Castillo, Jen Kirwin, and others. Yeah, they're not familiar names now, but they're all sure to be rising stars... The show starts at 8:30 PM. Admission is $8, which goes to benefit a domestic violence fund. The address is 34 West 22nd Street. Call (212) 367-9000 to make your reservations now.
11.9.99: Lizz appeared on the Mason & Kolinsky show this morning over FM Talk @ 102.7 (formerly WNEW). here's what they had to say about her on their daily update (from SteveMason.com:
Steve: I really like the little niche that Sue and me and Schleppo have carved out here. Under the circumstances which include no promos, no clear programming strategies, 8 records an hour for the first several months, limbo between rock and talk that lasted interminably like a Chinese water torture, finally the end of a 30 year run for a heritage New York institution...the old WNEW.
We have been here 10 months, and I hate to sound like Richard Lewis, but I think I have lost 10 years of my life at this daily battle. I get chest pains. I have the constant reminder of the bleeding ulcer and ulcerative colitis I developed in the spring.
Still, in meeting people like Lizz Winstead, I find hope. What a funny, smart woman. Lizz, who created The Daily Show for Comedy Central, had some priceless off the record stuff about here experiences there. I would never breach that trust. I also gave her plenty of juicy stuff about our experiences here. We talked about politics for an hour after the show. She's an old-fashioned liberal, while I'm a small "l" libertarian, but we agree on a lot. Pro Choice, decriminalize marijuana, decriminalize prostitution, etc.. I am happy to have met Lizz.
Sue: Lizz Winstead closed the show with an appearance in studio from 9-10. She's hysterical and extremely bright, which is why she was the creator of The Daily Show and is going to be one of many women comics participating in The Marshall's Comedy Festival, which kicks off tomorrow night.
Of course, she was promoting the Marshall's Women in Comedy Festival in which she is participating on Thursday (more info a few updates below).
11.4.99: Well, folks, he won.
Lizz's brother, Gene, has won the election on Tuesday and will become the next mayor of Bloomington, Minnesota. Thanks to Lynnette for giving me the news. Here's the story from the Star Tribune by Mark Brunswick:
Longtime Bloomington City Council Member Gene Winstead won an overwhelming victory Tuesday to become mayor of Minnesota's third-largest city. Former TV anchorwoman Heather Harden also handily won a seat on the Bloomington City Council in her first attempt at elected office.
Winstead, who raised a significant $11,000 in campaign funds, garnered 76 percent of the vote over former truck driver Frank Lindholm. Winstead replaces the retiring Coral Houle and will preside over a city facing major development challenges near the Mall of America and the former Met Center site, as well as continuing debate about traffic congestion along some of Minnesota's busiest freeways.
My congratulations go out to Gene, who will be sworn in in January.
By the way, one week from today, you can catch Lizz hosting a symposium at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. More info in the last update below.
10.25.99: Good news, and bad news...
First, the bad news: Lizz just got back from L.A., and she informed me that the pilot for "This Week Has Seven Days" has not been picked up by Fox. Hopefully, they'll come to the right decision and take advantage of this fresh television project. And, of course, Fox's loss could also end up as another network's gain, so let's look at it that way...
In the interim, those of you in the New York City area can see Lizz live when she moderates another symposium as part of the Marshall's Women In Comedy Festival, on Thursday, November 11, at noon. (In other words, 11/11 at 12. :) And I'm sure this one is free to get in, as was the one last November at Caroline's. Gotham Comedy Club is located at 34 West 22nd Street in New York. Call them at (212) 367-9000. Also check out their website. More news on the Marshall's Comedy Festival Symposium as it becomes available.
9.16.99: On Monday, Lizz appeared with "Daily Show" alums A. Whitney Brown and Brian Unger at a fundraiser at the Mall of America for her brother, Gene - he's running for the mayor of Bloomington, Minnesota! (Eat your heart out, Jesse Ventura!)
Here's an article in today's Star Tribune from everybody's favorite columnist, C.J., that documents the whole shindig:
C.J.: Princess of parody takes aim at TV news magazines
C.J. / Star Tribune
Stone Phillips' sense of humor about himself may get a TV test. Minnesota comedian Lizz Winstead has a FOX-TV pilot that gives network news magazines the same skewering that the co-creator of "The Daily Show" gave nightly news reports on Comedy Central. She and Comedy Central since have had a well-publicized parting. But that's given her plenty of time to concentrate on new spoofs.
"It's a magazine show called 'This Week Has Seven Days,' " said Winstead, in from NYC for a Knuckleheads fund-raiser for brother Gene, a Bloomington councilman running for mayor. Clips from the pilot drew tremendous laughter Monday, when Winstead unexpectedly focus-grouped the possible midseason replacement. Winstead brought friends and "Daily Show" alums Brian Unger and A. Whitney Brown to the megamall fund-raiser. Unger transformed into a veritable Stone, overcome with the countenance and delivery of the "Dateline: NBC" principal. The camera swoops into place, while a seated Unger appears to rotate on an axis. Dressed in a self-conscious anchor disguise, he introduces an investigative piece about dull male singing groups. "Yeah, we came up with the hypothesis that the Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, those white-boy bands, have been put on the Earth to bore black children to death. A sort of white plot," Winstead said. "And Al Sharpton played right along with it." Not surprising for the reverend, a buffoon extraordinaire. "Seven Days" correspondent Gus Johnson, who's done Timberwolves broadcasts, does a fine Len Cannon impersonation. . . . Then there's the opening shot for Unger's report from a war-torn Kosovo with a backdrop that looks like a smoldering California canyon fire. Unger begins his walkie-talkie toward the camera, dressed like GI Joe on a fashion runway. The audience completely lost it when he announced what the investigation had discovered: Road Rage in Kosovo. It's farcically over the top -- everything parody should be.
Lizz makes brother pay
"This is the Billy Carter of my life," Gene Winstead said, with his arm around sister Lizz. She had just finished saying one embarrassing thing and was on her way to another. "I won't pee on the front yard of the Bloomington White House," promised Lizz, who didn't know who this "Gene" person was. "He wants to go by Gene because it makes him sound more important. It's Beanie, i-e, to our family,'' she clarified. ''If I take it seriously, then it's not funny. If it's not funny, people don't pay money. If people don't pay money, this fund-raiser point is moot.'' Beanie clammed up, having the courage to utter only the occasional, ''I have absolutely no control.'' He also told the audience that the views expressed by the comics were not those of the candidate. Wasn't that the truth. (Do I need to warn audience members not to take as gospel things Unger and Brown say about their careers or Beanie's, uh, hobbies?) Lizz was sincere when she told folks they should vote for her brother because he genuinely cares about his community and believes in making it better. The name of Beanie's opponent -- Frank Lindholm -- was played for the obviously grade-school laughs; his full name is Franklin Delano Roosevelt Lindholm.
No message for Craig
Winstead is still treading very carefully where former "Daily Show" news reader Craig Kilborn is concerned. You may recall that Lizz left the show after the fellow Minnesotan joked in an Esquire article that she would have Oval Sex with him if asked. Every feminist bone in Lizz's tiny little body reacted negatively; Craig got suspended, but Lizz still wanted off the show. Kilborn since has landed a bigger job (his "Daily" is starting to evoke thoughts of the Peter Principle) as host of CBS' "Late, Late Show." A knucklehead in the audience wanted to know what Lizz, Unger and Brown thought of Craig's new show. Lizz made uncharacteristically bland comments about how Craig is "reinventing" late-night television. "Never seen the show," Unger offered. (Audience laughter.) Said Brown: "That show is literally unwatchable." (Uproarious audience laughter.) "I have nothing against Craig Kilborn," Brown went on. "He's a tool of my trade. I'm a writer; you deal with people like Craig all the time. His world essentially ends at his skin. He spends so much time thinking about one thing, and that thing is not particularly complicated. It doesn't allow a lot of room for intellectual growth." At this point, Lizz left the stage. "I didn't say anything," she said afterward. Duly noted. Although Lizz has never confirmed it, I suspect she was paid handsomely when she exited "The Daily Show" and keeps her yap closed about Craig.
Davis passes inspection
KSTP-TV's Angela Davis shared an on-air anchor hair moment with Winstead. Lizz loves to razz news anchors about hair and clothing, as Stone Phillips soon will see. Most of the Twin Cities TV people she saw on this trip "have helmet hair," she said. "Who doesn't have helmet hair -- Angela Davis," said Lizz, who got her fingers in Angela's on the mid-day broadcast this week. (Thanks for moving back from Dallas, Angela, and bringing you-know-who along, too.)
From birth to mirth
Winstead items always cause 332-TIPS callers who have followed her career since its stand-up beginnings to call with other funny stories. I asked her sister Linda Winstead whether Lizz always has been funny. Because Linda is older, they didn't really grow up together, but she recalled, "Lizzie was a strange little thing" as a child.
Even if it is useless now, here's another article from Sunday, September 12th from the Star Tribune with information for the fundraiser, eloquently written by Colin Covert:
Comedy: Lizz Winstead & friends
8:30 p.m. Mon., Knuckleheads Comedy Club in the Mall of America. $20-$25. 612-854-5233.
Some talking heads have more to say than others. As co-creator, head writer and on-air correspondent of Comedy Central's parody newsmagazine ''The Daily Show,'' Twin Cities native Lizz Winstead made a name for herself as one of the country's top political humorists. Now she's working on a similar project for the Fox network with ''Daily Show'' alumni A. Whitney Brown and Brian Unger. As a sort of warmup for the midseason debut of ''This Week Has Seven Days,'' all three will share their wiseguy perspectives on the powers that be and others richly deserving their disrespect. An audience Q and A session is scheduled (Craig Kilborn), so if you want to know how she really feels (Craig Kilborn) about current events and media personalities (Craig Kilborn), this is your chance to ask.
I do apologize for failing to be on top of this event, as there was a death in my family which prevented me from engaging in regular Internet access. But for those of you who live in Minnesota, I'm sure you knew about it, too. :)
8.5.99: Yes, today is Lizz's 38th birthday. And she gave me a bit of info on the taping of the Fox pilot. Production is halfway complete, studio segments are scheduled to be taped two weeks from today. Yes, the pilot, "This Week Has Seven Days" (working title) is still slated for a midseason premiere.
7.1.99: Here is an official article from Tuesday June 29th's New York Post, titled "Fox Rolls A Lucky Seven", written by Don Kaplan. Enjoy, and have a great 4th of July weekend!
Fox has ordered the pilot episode for a newsmagazine parody from the co-creator of Comedy Central's "Daily Show," according to insiders.
The show, called "This Week Has Seven Days," is expected to be ready for a mid-season debut.
Despite insider buzz, a network source told The Post that the deal for the new show is not final, "but is close." Lizz Winstead, who helped to develop the "Daily Show," and Brian Unger, one of its former correspondents, begin shooting the pilot next month.
Unger will serve as anchor, while A. Whitney Brown, another "Daily Show" alumnus, will be its chief correspondent.
Winstead and Unger were courted last year by UPN to develop a parody of newsmagazines like "Dateline" and "60 Minutes," but Fox's new entertainment chief Doug Herzog lured the pair away when he joined the network earlier this year.
Herzog was instrumental in developing the "Daily Show" when he was president of Comedy Central.
He hired Winstead and "Daily Show" executive producer Madeline Smithberg to create the show after the network learned it was going to lose "Politically Incorrect" to ABC in 1996.
Winstead, Unger and Herzog were unavailable for comment.
Last year, Winstead left Comedy Central shortly after former "Daily Show" anchor Craig Kilborn made a crude joke about her during an interview.
And last November, The Post learned that Unger was leaving the show when Brown - also a "Daily Show" correspondent - announced he was planning to exit the show.
At the time, Unger said he was hoping to land a network TV deal working with Brown.
6.15.99: Some of you may be in awe over the premiere of "The Man Show" on Comedy Central tomorrow night, but be aware: Lizz is not involved with that project. When it was a pilot on ABC, she was the consulting producer. At the time Comedy Central picked it up, she was already committed to Fox with the deal for the project tentatively titled "This Week Has Seven Days". Plus, "The Man Show" is based in L.A., where co-host Adam Corolla co-hosts "Loveline" on MTV. Lizz really didn't want to move to the West Coast, especially considering the Fox deal.
As for the Fox show, she tells me prodution on the pilot starts next week, and it will be announced in early fall if the show is picked up as a midseason replacement. In other words, don't look for it this summer, but soon.
4.9.99. Minor update today: Couple of items on "Snap Judgment" First, Court TV now has a place on its website dedicated to the show, access it here. Hear clips from the show, e-mail Lionel himself, and other stuff.
Also, Michele Greppi of The New York reviews Snap Judgment, click here to read it.
Also, I've done away with the "Blockrockinbeats" segment.
Finally, in late-night news, the same ol' story: Conan grows stronger, Craig grows weaker, the end.
4.1.99. Here is a brilliant interview with Lizz from Aaron Barnhart of TVBarn.com titled "Lizz Means Biz":
Lizz Winstead, whose take-no-prisoners approach to standup comedy won her numerous admirers and a chance to put her ideas into a nightly television product with "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, has struck again. "Snap Judgment," a new nightly half hour on Court TV, features a New York radio personality named Lionel in a decidedly twisted take on the world of jurisprudence. Winstead was brought in to build it; in another week she'll be outta there, off to develop her comedy pilot for Fox with fellow "Daily Show" dropout Brian Unger.
To say that "Snap Judgment," which has a 39-week order, is a departure from the usual Court TV fare is putting it mildly. Even Court TV must be a little nervous about it; as of Thursday morning there was still no information about the show on the Court TV web site. (By the way, even though it is debuting on April Fools' Day, "Snap Judgment" -- and everything on this page below this paragraph -- are honest-to-gosh real.)
I must admit I skipped the press materials and just popped the preview tape into my VCR to listen to while I worked on other stuff. Within moments I was being subjected to the snarls of Lionel, going on and on about Rudy Giuliani, "the greatest mayor in the history of New York," and his decision to impound the cars of people who hadn't been convicted of drunk driving. My reaction was visceral: I wanted to smack this obnoxious jerk. That is, until I caught on. The pro-Rudy rant turned out to be satirical. And unlike a lot of heavy-attitude TV I watch these days, this one had a point buried underneath.
Lionel, whose real name is Mike Lebron, was once a trial lawyer in Tampa. On TV, he comes across as someone with the lone-gunman fury of Dennis Miller, but more focused -- and that's clearly the influence of Lizz Winstead. "Snap Judgment" will take advantage of the same open-courtroom laws Court TV uses in its daytime coverage. But what they choose to do with the videotape here will be decidedly different. Later in the first episode, Lionel carries on in very entertaining fashion abou; a motorcycle club's effort to get bikers added to Maine's human-rights amendment. Then he straightens his tie and gets down to brass tacks in a lively interview with the legislator backing the bill.
"Wait'll you see the interview we did with Bob Dornan," said Winstead, who spoke with TV Barn this week. "One of our topics was a guy in California who got lethal injection and it took him 15 minutes to die. It was a record. And of course we treated it like, you know, breaking the four-minute mile. So we beam in Dornan who proceeds to go on and on about torture and how criminals should be put in a cage inside a cage, like Hannibal Lecter, and then he starts going on about Eichmann, at which point we're saying, 'You're out of control.'"
There's also a segment for ridiculous court cases; tonight's involves two neighbors arguing over a loud stereo. And of course, the outtakes at the end, something "The Daily Show" has done from the beginning. Tonight's very unflattering footage of a jury pool (several of whom appear to be mouth-breathers) was taken by a "Snap Judgment" team roaming around New York City's lower courts.
Winstead said she was brought in because she knows Henry Schlieff, the new head of Court TV, and because it was the perfect concept for her. "I think they wanted somebody who will call people on their shit and in the law profession there's certainly a lot people who haven't been called on the carpet, from the Supreme Court to the people who file frivolous lawsuits," she said. "They know I like the little guy and that I think people feel totally fucked by the legal system."
But don't be led to believe Winstead is just going to keep recycling her one good Comedy Central idea. Though she prefers not to give details on her and Unger's upcoming Fox project, suffice it to say you may never look at "Dateline" the same way again.
"Our network show is going to be way different from 'The Daily Show' or this show. It's going to be more genre-oriented and more of us doing enterprising, creative stories and satirizing the way you put on a magazine show and the belief system that goes into signing off on all the shit that goes on the air instead of just shooting bizarre people and hammering celebrities." (A poke at the current "Daily Show" approach there, perhaps?)
"This show will be much more thought-provoking, more professional and larger," said Winstead. "And it'll have a real earnestness about itself."
What about A. Whitney Brown? He had told LATE SHOW NEWS last December that he wanted to work with Unger again.
"You'll see Whitney," Winstead promised. Can't wait.
3.31.99. Okay, as I'm sure you all know, tomorrow is the big day, when "Snap Judgment" premieres on Court TV at 7:30 p.m., and will air Monday-Thursday at the same time thereafter. I've checked Court TV's website; they have yet to have a special section for the show, but it shall come soon.
Meanwhile, Kilborn's new show started last night, and of course, I've neglected to see it, but from what I've heard, well... can you say, "Magic Johnson"?
Anyway, here's an excerpt from an interview with that pusbucket from C.J. of The Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
While Kilborn says Minnesota accents "drive me up the wall," he's very proud to be from the same state as Peter Graves, Louie Anderson, Jessica Lange, Bob Dylan, Kevin McHale. But he neglected to mention my buddy Lizz Winstead, co-creator of the "Daily Show." Asked whether they exchange holiday cards, Kilborn cheerfully said, "We had fun when we worked together." Ahhhh, that's not exactly true. "Don't believe everything you read. You're better than that," chided Kilborn. "Without the 'Daily Show' I could not have gotten what I consider a dream job." After the camera stopped rolling, Kilborn said: "What are you bringing up Lizz for; you trying to create controversy?" Nope, Craig, you did that in the January 1998 Esquire by making an offensive sexual joke about Winstead and other women on "DS." I think he's grown since then, but only future magazine articles can say for sure.
Wait, forget Magic... can you say "Chevy Chase"?
Better yet, feast your eyes on this segment I conceived, called The Evolution of Failed Late Night Talk Show Hosts.
3.26.99. Okay, a few this-and-thats:
First off, it's not too long before the premiere of "Snap Judgment" on Court TV, of which Lizz will be producing (see below).
Due in part to "Snap Judgment" and other projects she has, I am going to kill the "Keep Lizz On The Air" segment real soon. It just wouldn't make sense if I kept it there. The quotes segment might go, too, who knows? hell, I might do a whole makeover on this site, we'll see...
Today, I did some searching on the search engines for some Lizz stuff. Trust me, it's not easy: nearly half of the hits are all lame quote compilations, all of which list Lizz's "I think, therefore, I'm single" quip. But occasionally and quite often, most of these searches are quite productive... especially this one:
First, I was led to a picture of Lizz with some woman named Sara at the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas. I learned it was part of a series called "Going Places" for PBS. Now, to me, PBS is like a basic cable channel that's there but I pay no mind to, like The Learning Channel. So, I normally don't keep track with what's on PBS, so check your local listings and see if it's airing again. Oh yeah, the picture: click here to see it.
Next, I've finally got a picture of Lizz's prom with that swell fellow Chris Larson from back in 1997, courtesy of his cool page. I posted it right at the top of the prom page, check it out.
Also, I've learned that last June, Lizz hosted something called the Women of Power and Influence Awards. This from NOWNYC.org:
NOW-NYC member Mary Schroeder said of the event "It was a really fun evening. Lizz Winstead was hilarious. It was great to see these women get recognition for their achievements."
Winners included former Glamour magazine editor Ruth Whitney. Here is a group picture of Lizz and some of the winners. She's second from left.
Also from NOWNYC.org: Lizz signed something not too long ago called the "Stop The Inquisition" petition to stop the impeachment of President Clinton. Click here to read more about it.
Finally, I think you'll like this find the best: So I've been telling you about this project Lizz has done for VH-1 about some Gary Numan cover band (because, of course, she told me about it). I recently reported that the pilot wouldn't be airing on VH-1 for awhile, as it's being "retooled". But here's something to tie you over until then: I found a site that has exclusive pictures of that Gary Numan cover band from that particular night! They're called "The Numan Principle", and you can see the pictures on this page. Best of all, this would be a great chance for most of you to see her NEW hairdo!
3.12.99. Well, I certainly had a fine talk with Lizz today...
Here's what I've learned: She will be the executive producer of Court TV's new series "Snap Judgment", a humorous take on court cases. It will be hosted by Lionel, who was most recently a talk-show host on WABC Radio in New York. It premieres on Thursday, April 1st at 7:30 pm, and will subsequently air Mondays through Thursdays at that same time. (By the way, I had contacted her at her office at "Snap Judgment".)
I also have a few tidbits on the Fox pilot: It will be called "This Week Has Seven Days" (not to be confused with ABC's Sunday newsmagazine "This Week" or UPN's sci-fi drama "7 Days"). Brian Unger will host, and Lizz and Brian will be executive producers. A premiere date has not been set. (For more on this story, read the New York Post article below.)
As for the VH-1 project, which is called "Rock N' Roll Record Breakers", Lizz said that that pilot was in the "retooling" process, and that doesn't have a premiere date, either.
On the stand-up front, Lizz told me she was finally contacted by someone on behalf of the Toyota Comedy Festival, the annual stand-up fest in New York. She said they must have "finally caught on", and if she's not too busy with the aforementioned projects, she might be available for that event. It usually takes place in June.
3.9.99. This article is from the March 9 edition of the New York Post, which I had to type word-for-word because they didn't have it on their own website (little fuckerz) but dammit, I'm proud to bring you the rest of this news...
Hot comedy team on merry-go-round
By Don Kaplan
Fox is in talks to hire the co-creator of Comedy Central's hit "Daily Show" to develop a new parody of network news magazines.
Lizz Winstead, who helped to develop the "Daily Show", and Brian Unger, one of its former correspondents, may launch the show possibly by next summer, a source close to the project said.
A. Whitney Brown, another "Daily Show" alumnus, may also be joining the show, The Post has learned.
As reported last July, Winstead and Unger had been in talks with UPN to develop the show.
Now, Fox's new Entertainment chief Doug Herzog has lured the pair away, according to a report in Electronic Media, an industry trade magazine.
Winstead, Unger and Brown could not be reached for comment.
Herzog was instrumental to developing the "Daily Show" when he was president of Comedy Central.
He originally hired Winstead and "Daily Show" executive producer Madeleine Smithberg to create the show after the network learned it was going to lose "Politically Incorrect" to ABC.
Herzog was not available for comment.
Last year, Winstead left Comedy Central shortly after former "Daily Show" anchor Craig Kilborn made a crude joke during an interview. He said that despite their artistic differences, if Kilborn wanted, Winstead would perform oral sex on him.
Meanwhile, last November, The Post learned that Unger was leaving the show when Brown - also a "Daily Show" correspondent - announced he was planning to exit the show.
Remember, you heard about the Fox deal first, here at LIZZLAND!
It's amazing how much class Doug Herzog has. I mean, when I first started this site, I sent a letter to the entertainment programming chiefs of all six networks at the time (as mentioned in the "Keep Lizz On The Air" segment of this site). Then, Herzog comes along to Fox, replacing Peter Roth, and then - without a letter from me - decides to sign Lizz to a contract. That's how cool this guy is, and he knows it.
2.16.99. I have news from an inside source that Lizz has a pilot with Brian Unger for the Fox network. As Lizz describes it, it is "a weekly topical look at the worlds events, exposing the newsmagazine format as being pablam and irrelevent". She also added that she hopes it becomes a regular series. (same here.)
Also, I have failed to mention this, but February 13 was the one-year anniversary of LIZZLAND! And no doubt we're going to be bigger and better than ever come year two! (You'll see what I mean pretty soon...)
By the way, those embedded WAV files that were in some pages on this site, including this here main page? They're gone. No more computer crashes. (:
1.11.99. First, I'm sure you're aware that Jon Stewart is the new host of "The Daily Show". I recommend that you watch the new "Daily" regularly. It's perfectly okay, really. Although Lizz still isn't the head writer, keep in mind that she was one of the producers of Jon's syndicated late-night series back in 1994. But still, I'd like to see bigger and greater feedback to the new "Daily" than before. (UPDATE 1/18/99: The New York Daily News reports today that for the first week since Jon took over, "The Daily Show" had its highest weekly average in history! That's what I like to see! Keep up the good work!) I really want to see this Kilborn fellow go down real bad. Which brings me to my next note: As you may also be aware of, Kilborn will be taking over Tom Snyder on the CBS "Late, Late Show". So here's what I want you to do: WATCH CONAN! I would like to see Conan get the biggest ratings of his career, and make Kilborn look like Chevy Chase! Now, I may have mentioned in the past the fact that Conan featured many stand-up comedians on his show, with the exception of Lizz, and that was one of the reasons why I refrained from watching it, but no more. If you all want to see Kilborn go down as much as I do, just do those two things. And no, this is not a boycott like last time (that idea of mine was inane as well as insane), these are just kind thoughts from the webmaster that I would invite you to take into consideration. Okay, this rant is done, go pick up Galmour, and come back soon.
12.10.98. I was lucky enough to receive an e-mail or two from a woman named Lynnette, who claims she is a friend of one of Lizz's sisters, Linda. "Even she doesn't always know what her sister is up to," she writes. (Hey, I try.) At the time she had e-mailed me, she informed me that Lizz was in London, supposedly for a fund-raiser, though she said she wasn't quite sure, but she said Pete Townshend was scheduled to be where she was. She also said Lizz is developing a sitcom with Whoopi Goldberg (now seen on TV's "Hollywood Squares"), which will also include Brian Unger, who just left "The Daily Show". (Lizz and Brian have been discussing developing some show together for months.) One final note from Lynnette: She said Lizz might host a show on VH1, having to do with "broken musical records". My guess was her being the new host of "Women First". Well, whatever, just a little update to let you know that while Lizz might be gone from the mainstream right now, expect her to return sometime soon. And thanks for the wonderful info, Lynnette!
11.12.98. I've just gotten back from the symposium at Caroline's today which Lizz moderated. So, of course, I go up to her after it was over for some details. She confirmed Lynnette's news about a special on VH1 in which she was involved, but it will not be about "broken musical records", which is the ifno Lynnette had given me. When I brought it up to Lizz, she said that was the case at first, but it seems now that her VH1 project will focus on wacky musical acts or something. From what she told me, she was recently in London to get footage of a Gary Numan cover band. (Numan, if you recall, sang the great 80's ballad "Cars".) "Out of control", Lizz said about that. Also, I mentioned what was up with the deal with Whoopi. She said the deal, which is with UPN, is on hold, but according to her, she doesn't think it'll go through, due to bad vibes about the future of UPN. And finally, next time you see Lizz, expect a dark-blondish coif now. That's right, she's changed her hair! You heard it here first! :)
By the way, I forgot to mention this, but while I was talking Whoopi with Lizz, the thought of her appearing on Whoopi's "Hollywood Squares" crossed my mind. So I asked, and she assured me that she would be there real soon. So do look for that as well.
The Marshall's Women in Comedy Festival (FYI - Marshall's is a department store chain) did a brilliant bio piece on Lizz. Here it is, copied and pasted from that website:
In the past few years, Lizz Winstead has emerged as perhaps the top female political comic working today. As a co-creator and former head writer of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Winstead has now emerged as a writer and producer who has brought fresh new ideas to television. She has also created, executive produced, and starred in the critically acclaimed and highly rated special, Unauthorized Biography: Milo, Death of a Supermodel. Lizz also used her biting wit by segment producing The Jon Stewart Show and Comedy Central's Women Aloud. But it was her one-person shows, Don't Get Me Started and Stream of Consciousness that put her on the political humor map. She was nominated Best Female Club Performer by the American Comedy Awards and has appeared numerous times on television including HBO's Women of the Night.

dirty hands are happy hands. this kind of dirty is therapeutical. doing some gardening coming back from work helps one to refocuse somehow, to feel a kind of tranquility in the methodic, organic movements of making the plants' life happier. the sight of living things struggling to grow amazes me all the time.
there are so many kinds of gardens. but the best kind you can find all around you – people growing, developing, blooming. some need more help than others. some need more "weeding" done, others are easily taken care of. we do all need gardeners in this process, to make it more beautiful, more meaningful.
:: gostava muito de ver este filme.
:: o perigeu lunar deu-me borboletas na barriga.
:: há pão a levedar. estreei finalmente a amassadeira que me trouxeram do norte.
:: i would love to watch this.
:: the lunar perigee made me feel the butterflies.
:: i have some bread rising overnight. finally used the wooden kneading bowl that was given to me.
… change is not progress unless the core remains unchanged. a small oak grows into a big oak; if it became a beech, that would not be growth, but mere change.
em sintonia com a sis. sem suspeitarmos, fomos ambas atraídas pelos braços despidos de grandes árvores.
a partir do outono, o chão de parte da minha rua enche-se destas cápsulas de sementes de uma espécie de árvore da qual desconheço o nome. parece-me que poderá ser uma sweet gum tree ou pelo menos da mesma família. mas continuo à procura. em português ainda não consegui encontrar nada em concreto. o certo é que são as árvores que me saúdam quando saio para o trabalho e quando volto para casa. gosto delas em todas as estações e da expectativa de encontrá-las metamorfosiadas. ora despidas, ora com pequenos rebentos a espreitar (primeiro tímida e depois descaradamente), ora cobertas de folhas vermelhas. a minha alice, a gata de olhos cor-de-céu-limpo, mostra a mesma curiosidade por estas cápsulas.
since the beginning of autumn, part of my street fills up with these beautiful seed pods, from a tree whose identity is unknown to me. i believe it could be a sweet gum tree or at least from the same family. yet, i'm still searching. they greet me whenever i go to work and when i come back home. one thing's for sure . i love these trees in every season and i love the anticipation of finding them changed – naked, filled with timid buds (and then not so timid at all) or covered in red folliage. alice, my sky-tinted eyed cat, shows the same curiosity over these seed pods.

A Land Rover é uma marca de carros de luxo inglesa, propriedade da Jaguar Land Rover, um fabricante de automotivas multinacionais com sede em Coventry, Inglaterra, subsidiária do fabricante indiano Tata Motors desde 2008.

No Brasil existem cerca de 35 concessionárias autorizadas desde 1992 quando a marca retornou ao país, sendo a Land Rio do Rio de Janeiro a mais antiga. É também o nome pelo qual é normalmente conhecido o primeiro veículo todo-terreno para uso civil, construído pela Rover em 1948. Mais tarde, a divisão Land Rover ganhou autonomia e desde então tem vindo a desenhar e a construir uma vasta gama de veículos todo-terreno. A Land Rover tem sido, durante a sua história, controlada por diversas empresas do ramo automóvel, nomeadamente a British Leyland, British Aerospace, BMW, Ford e, a partir de Março de 2008, pela Tata Motors, que comprou a Land Rover da Ford. Os veículos continuam a ser fabricados em Solihull, Inglaterra (perto de Birmingham) Inglaterra (perto de Liverpool) e são exportados para todo o mundo.

História
O projeto do veículo Land Rover original foi iniciado em 1947 por Maurice Wilks, designer-chefe na Rover Company, em sua fazenda em Newborough, Anglesey. Diz-se que ele foi inspirado por um Jeep americano da Segunda Guerra Mundial que ele usou em um verão na sua casa de campo no País de Gales. O primeiro protótipo de Land Rover, depois apelidado de "Centre Steer" (volante central), foi construído sobre chassis e eixos de um Jeep.

A escolha inicial de cor foi ditada pelo excedente de tinta utilizada nos cockpits de aeronaves. Dessa forma, os primeiros veículos vieram somente em vários tons de verde claro; todos os modelos até recentemente dispõem de chassis com armação em estrutura quadrada.

Os primeiros veículos, como a Serie I, foram testados em campo em Long Bennington e projetados para terem manutenção simples; As propagandas para os Land Rovers citam veículos dirigidos por milhares de quilômetros utilizando óleo de banana. Agora, com requisitos de manutenção mais complexos, isso não é mais uma opção. O exército britânico tem em uso versões com o motor mecanicamente mais simples 300 TDi 2,5 litros 4 cilindros em vez do 2,5 litros 5 cilindros TD5 controlado eletronicamente para manter a facilidade de manutenção. Esse motor também continuou em uso em alguns mercados utilizando unidades montadas na fábrica da Ford no Brasil, onde Land Rovers foram fabricados sob licença e o motor também foi usado em pick-ups Ford produzidas localmente. A produção do motor TDi no Reino Unido cessou em 2006, com o fim da oferta desse motor pela Land Rover. A International Motors do Brasil oferece um motor chamado 2.8 TGV Power Torque, que é essencialmente uma versão 2,8 litros do 300TDi, com aumento de potência e torque.

Enquanto propriedade da Ford, a Land Rover se associou à Jaguar - a primeira vez que as duas empresas estiveram sob um mesmo conglomerado desde a era British Leyland, sendo adquiridas em 2008 pela indiana Tata Motors. Em muitos países, elas compartilharam uma rede de distribuição e vendas comum (incluindo concessionárias compartilhadas), e alguns modelos dividiram componentes e instalações de produção.

Brastorne to Help Connect Underserved Africans with Meaningful Access to the Digital World
Brastorne has announced that they are dedicated to connecting the 760 million Africans who currently lack meaningful access to the digital world. Using existing infrastructure, standard telco networks, Brastorne's technology turns the continent's ubiquitous feature phones into internet portals for less than $0.05 per day. For these feature phone users, Brastorne's solutions provide an experience similar to that of a smartphone mobile app. This is accomplished through a suite of technology solutions including USSD, IVR, or Voice to promote digital inclusion through Brastorne's applications Mpotsa, mAgri and Vuka.
More and more aspects of modern life have moved online. Access to information, economic opportunities, and how we interact with our social circles are all reliant on access to the internet. Access to this near-limitless online world leads to empowerment for those with ready access. However, digital inclusion is not universal and a growing digital divide is excluding entire segments of our society from the potentially limitless benefits.
This is certainly the case in Africa, where 650 million of the continent's one billion people own mobile phones, but the majority lack meaningful digital access. There are a startling 760 million unconnected people in Africa. Economic realities are driving this digital divide. Africans use feature phones in large numbers, leaving only a few people who have both smartphones and the data plans required to be online. When they have a smartphone, digital access comes at a crippling cost. One gigabyte of mobile data costs an average of $6.44 in Africa, which is equivalent to a week's wages for the majority of the continent's rural poor. There are many efforts globally to promote digital inclusion, but Africa is still left behind. Brastorne acknowledges these realities and has implemented disruptive solutions to dissolve the barriers to digital inclusion in Africa.
Mpotsa, which translates to "ask me how?" in English, is a two-way telephone-based question/answer platform that aims to provide users with information on almost anything. It provides information to users by acting as a Google-like service that uses the user-friendly technology of Voice/IVR. Farmers use mAgri to access advisory services, wikipedia, weather/pest alerts, crop prices, and financial services, as well as trade, chat, and email in their native language. Vuka facilitates and accelerates convenient communication through USSD, allowing users to chat, send in-person messages, or broadcast messages on both low-end phones and smartphones. These solutions empower numerous communities that rely on feature phones by giving them access to essential information such as employment opportunities, health advice, and legal services.
Brastorne has brought the power of the internet to millions of people, improving their lives. Through Brastorne's flagship product Smallholder Farmers experience increased access to communications and Women Smallholder Farmers see increased Crop Yield and increased revenue. In 2021, 36 000 farmers gained access to information, markets, & communication in Botswana through mAgri. Furthermore Brastorne users realized 85% Monthly Savings in costs of information and communication access compared to alternatives (data bundles, physical travel costs etc), which can cost $15+/month. Brastorne users in total have realized $3.4 million total annual savings across all 60,000 subscribers in 2021. These savings can now be put to use to improve their farm, feed their families, or buy much-needed personal items.
Brastorne's information access service Mpotsa has brought the power of the internet to new users, giving them increased access to information, medical treatment, COVID vaccinations, and access to jobs. The service is a literal lifeline with an estimated 60% of Mpotsa subscribers who cannot otherwise afford digital information. In 2021, Mpotsa connected 25,231 total youth, over 15,000 of whom would otherwise have remained unconnected. This resulted in $60,554 total information access cost savings.
With its mission of connecting 760 million Africans who lack meaningful access to today's digital world, Brastorne plans to expand its solutions to 19 different African countries. Brastorne is currently operational in Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and most recently Cameroon, having launched in October through partnerships with mobile network providers such as Orange. It plans to address the realities of Africa's lack of connectivity by enabling digital inclusion and its dividends through mAgri and Vuka.

Hiromi and Donovan did. They planned their special elope in Florence and were were pleased to help them to make their dream come true.
A lovely and sweet couple coming from US with Southern America heritage. They really wanted a dive in Italian history and they chose Florence.
They elopement started with a romantic and very private getting ready in a lovely apartment they rent for them to enjoy real life in Florence. When they were both ready they reached famous Palazzo Vecchio for their legal civil ceremony in Florence.
Civil ceremony was planned inside the so called Sala Rossa of Palazzo Vecchio: a wonderful room with enchanting frescoes on the ceiling and walls and romantic Renaissance painting to embellish it – can you "embellish" such a beauty more than this? Apparently yes! Just stunning!
Legal civil ceremony was simple and very intimate, just like an elope wants. We always feel lucky to witness such an intimate moment for our bride and grooms who chose to elope in Italy.
Hiromi wore a wonderful Italian style wedding dress with laces and a romantic all white bridal bouquet with roses and peonies. Roses and Peonies where also the main flowers for the decor on the ceremony table that stood out in the frescoed room.
After the ceremony, bride and groom took a lovely walk along the ancient streets of Florence and by famous River Arno that crosses the city. They ended to a botanic garden above the hill of the city. From here panorama was magnificent, just like a canvas. Florence skyline is breathtaking!
A Zingone Reportage photographer choose the best views and the best spots for Hiromi and Donovan's elope in Florence. Thanks for these enchanting shots.
For their celebratory meal Hiromi and Donovan choose a traditional Tuscan restaurant to taste the best dishes of Florentine tradition accompanied with delicious Chianti wine.
Don't you think that elope in Florence is a dream? We do! And believe us the beauty of Florence is much more enchanting once you breath it. Elope in Florence is this and much more!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was my favorite book growing up. In the book, Charlie didn't steal anything. In the first movie (with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka), Charlie & Grandpa Joe drank the fizzy drink that made them float up. In the new movie (with Johnny Depp as a creepy Willy Wonka) they don't steal anything. But they added some weird Willy Wonka's dad being a dentist stuff. The book is still the best.
And dark chocolate is BITTER, not tart. Tart is like lemons. I love a nice piece of barely sweetened chocolate.
I also like Crunchy bars. Mmmmmmmm.
I love Brussel Sprouts! They are super healthy for you, they cause colon cancer cells to "commit suicide". Actually, the day after you eat them, an almost similar effect occurs with any unfortunate people who happen to be within a 15ft radius of you.
I am also eating Mushrooms and Garlic lately, and using copious amounts of mouth wash combined with flossing and vigorous teeth brushing.
I love dark chocolate too, got to have a Dove dark chocolate piece every day...mmmmmmmmm.
I miss British chocolate too.
I stay 16 ft away after Brussel Sprout day.
Gone are the days of sweet jars. I know of no shop locally that stll supplies sweets like that.
I have a story to tell about sweets, you'll just have to liten to my podcast about that. I'll try and remember to do it.
C&TCF was a good rendition of the book.
"Space Rocks" were called "Pop Rocks" over here. They were great, but I don't think they sell them anymore. There was a persistent urban legend about some kid who filled his mouth with pop rocks then poured in a soda, and his head exploded.
Back in college, a friend of mine brought some cool German chocolates back from break (his dad was stationed with the US military in Deutchland). They were called kinder...something. They were a ball of chocolate, with a sort of maltball layer underneath that, and in the middle was a neat toy that you put together. It was a cool toy, too; not something chintzy. Those wacky Germans! Tschuss!
Paul - they do still have Pop Rocks here! They were gone for a long time, but they came back out around 1999 or so (I think). They're kind of hard to find, but not impossible. TCBY even had an ice cream flavor with Pop Rocks in it!

Loncor Announces Financings
Toronto, Canada - September 19, 2012 - Loncor Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Loncor") (TSX-V: "LN", NYSE MKT: "LON") announces that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus in connection with a marketed offering of common shares of the Company (the "Offering"). The Offering will be conducted through a syndicate of investment dealers (the "Underwriters"). The price of each common share to be issued under the Offering will be determined in the context of the market.
Loncor will grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase a number of additional common shares of the Company equal to up to 7.5% of the aggregate number of common shares sold in the Offering to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes, exercisable at any time up to 30 days after the closing of the Offering.
The preliminary prospectus is still subject to completion or amendment. A copy of the preliminary prospectus will be available electronically at www.sedar.com. There will not be any sale of or any acceptance of an offer to buy the securities until a receipt for the (final) prospectus has been issued.
Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont") has expressed an interest in completing a non-brokered private placement of common shares of the Company at the Offering price, concurrent with and subject to completion of the Offering. The terms of this private placement are expected to be finalized once the terms of the Offering have been finalized. Newmont (through an affiliate) currently holds 9,700,000 (representing 16.35%) of the outstanding common shares of the Company and 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company, with each such warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$2.30 until December 2012. The Company expects that Newmont's equity interest in the Company would increase to 19.99% on a fully-diluted basis upon completion of this private placement (and giving effect to the completion of the Offering).
The Company is targeting to raise total gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$12 million pursuant to the two financings.
Loncor intends to use the proceeds from the financings for the exploration and development of the Company's mineral properties in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Closing of the financings is subject to, among other things, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the NYSE MKT LLC.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on two key projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC") -- the Ngayu and North Kivu projects. The Company has exclusive gold rights to an area covering 2,087 sq km covering part of the Ngayu Archaean greenstone belt in Orientale province in the northeast portion of the DRC. Loncor also owns or controls 55 exploration permits in North Kivu province, covering 17,760 square kilometres, located west of the city of Butembo. Both areas have historic gold production. Led by a team of senior exploration professionals with extensive African experience, Loncor's strategy includes an aggressive drilling program to follow up on initial known targets as well as covering the entire greenstone belt with regional geochemical and geophysical surveys. Additional information with respect to the Company's projects can be found on the Company's web site at www.loncor.com.

Forward-looking information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the Company.

Everyone has some sort of story about an incident in which the police get involved, unnecessarily. The other day, I learned of a 5 year old that was dutifully, at schooled, to call 911 if an adult "bothered" her. Well, the child was staying with her grandmother and they were horsing around with the water hose. Grandma sprayed her, which really bothered her, so the next thing you know the local police are in the driveway looking to rescue a child in need of protection.
I have some sympathy for the police.
There are numerous calls regarding fraud, such as the infamous Canada Revenue Agency scan, that the OPP is only interested in talking to you if you're a victim of actual fraud, rather than a victim of attempted fraud. "Although your intentions are appreciated, it is these calls which are at times restricting the OPP's ability to take calls for service from the public that require a police response." At the same time, the OPP encourage people to all in and report an impaired driver, noting that impaired driving is a crime like any other crime.
The other day, the OPP received the call that takes the cake. It was from a fifteen-year-old from Mississauga. She complainedt her parents were forcing her to go away with them on a family holiday, in a cottage on the Trent River. As reported in the Toronto Star, OPP officers visited the cottage and interviewed the family. "There was no real emergency," they concluded. "The occupants confirmed they were all on a family vacation." I imagine that describing the balance of cottage time, as a "vacation," would be a bit of a stretch, in light of the recriminations that likely took place after the police left.
A case of a teenager being a teenager.
Give the OPP a citation for diplomacy. They did not challenge the teenager's subjective impression. Someone in that shop must have either been a teenager once or known one. The last thing anyone wants to tell a teenager is that her angst is trivial.
I suspect that, after this incident, the teen in question might encounter some new difficulties in such matters as cell phone privileges and curfew hours. You have to give her credit for gumption. What better way to make her parents realize that she has got better things to do than enjoy the forced camaraderie of games of Monopoly, wiener roasts or carp fishing expeditions than to invoke the authority of the OPP?
Although she might have lost the Battle of Trent River, she might have strengthened her position in the Campaign for Teen Autonomy. Her parents bloodied, from this year's fight, might decide that, next year, the family is all going together to the local tattoo parlour, followed by a Drake concert. Better still, they may be softened up enough to let her stay at home on her own and have a 'few' friends over, while her parents and siblings take a holiday lining up to get into Sandbanks Park.
As a more general matter, does the OPP comment about a teenager "being a teenager" presage a new defence? Whatever my age or offence, can I now claim the right to exoneration because I am just a 'human being'? Are we more or less clear as to the point at which we become answerable for our own actions? A charge of juvenile mischief might be in order; her parents with forcible confinement. Maybe they could take turns spraying one another with a hose, no matter how bothersome it may be.

Ani DiFranco expertly combines the personal and political at the Plaza Live Friday
by Thaddeus McCollum
Charles Waldorf
Ani DiFranco's résumé can be pretty intimidating to those who have never seen her live. The lauded songwriter started her own label, Righteous Babe, before she was legally allowed to drink, and has worked with everyone from folkies Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips to jazz saxophonist Maceo Parker to the legendary Prince. But anyone who has seen the diminutive dynamo play live can tell you that she focuses on connecting with her audience first, then impressing them with a frenetic fingerpicking style and songwriting that has garnered her accolades from everyone from the National Organization for Women to the Woody Guthrie Center. Labelmate Hamell on Trial, known as much for his humorous interludes as his fiery take on acoustic punk, opens.

Last monday was Nathan's birthday, and we decided to take the whole day off to celebrate the way we know best, meaning lots of walking, and of course splurging on some great food!
Next weekend will definitely be on a more healthier theme, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I will be compromising great tasting snacks. There are so many delicious and healtheir snack options for movie night than potato chips – like these potato skins with coconut bacon for example!
The recipe makes 10 potato skins and about 1 3/7 cup coconut bacon, which is more than you need for the recipe, but coconut bacon is great for all sorts of meals. The coconus bacon lasts for up to 3 weeks, which will be more than enough time to enjoy it in other meals or just on its own (they're quite addictive, I should add!).
Preheat the oven at 175°/350F. Combine all ingredients for the coconut bacon in a bowl and then spread out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 7–9 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them since they burn quickly. Set aside to cool.
Cut the potatoes in half and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (the inside facing down). Brush with oil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Then place one potato at a time in a clean towel and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
Transfer the potato flesh to a food processor and mix with the other ingredients for the sauce. Fill the potato skins with the cheezy potato sauce and bake in the oven for another 10 minutes. Garnish with non-dairy cream cheese, chives, coconut bacon and ketchup.
I'm a 30 year old entrepreneur and food creator from Sweden who loves to experiment with plant-based food in the kitchen. I became interested in cooking while spending five years traveling full time around the world as a travel writer, where I had the opportunity to explore cuisine from all over the world.

Q: Combining a text search and a lookup table I have a column of strings (descriptions of errors manually entered by personnel) (A2:A1000) that I'd like to search for specific words (to create categories based on the description), and based on the words found, input a specific case value (a category label) into a second column (B2:B1000). Currently this is being handled by nested if statements of the form
B2=if(isnumber(search("Flag Word 1",A2)),"Case Word 1", if(isnumber(search("Flag Word 2",A2)),"Case Word 2", ...))

Obviously for a large number of flag/case words, this gets messy pretty quickly. I'd like to be able to create a lookup table, have excel search column A for words in the lookup table, and return the corresponding value, but I'm not sure if this is possible - it doesn't seem that way without resorting to VBA. Are there any alternative methods to achieving the same result?
Thanks,
~P

A: You could try an array formula like this one (has to be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter):-
=INDEX($D$2:$D$4,MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($D$2:$D$4,A2)),(ROW($D$2:$D$4)-ROW($D$1)))))

It assumes that there is a list of keywords in D2:D4, and will give you the first one in the list which is contained in the string in A2. You could change MIN to MAX to get the last match.

Six York-Adams League players, including five from Northeastern, earn Class 2-A all-state honors in boys' volleyball.
Six York-Adams League players have earned all-state honors in 2-A boys' volleyball.
Five Northeastern players were honored, along with one player from York Suburban.
The Bobcats recognized were: Cole Brillhart, Jacob Cheuvront, Wyatt Hughes, Alex Finch and Austin Richards.
York Suburban's Nate Bowman was also named all-state.
If there was any doubt about the dominance of District 3 high school boys' volleyball on the Class 2-A level in Pennsylvania, those doubts have been erased.
The Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association reinforced that notion recently when the organization released its 2018 2-A all-state team.
Of the 26 players recognized, 11 of them hailed from District 3, including five starters from Northeastern, which has won the last six 2-A state titles.
The five Bobcats honored were seniors Cole Brillhart, Jacob Cheuvront and Wyatt Hughes, junior Alex Finch and sophomore setter Austin Richards.
In addition, York Suburban middle hitter Nate Bowman collected all-state recognition, giving the York-Adams League six all-state honorees. Bowman helped Suburban to a third-place finish in the Y-A League and a fourth-place finish in District 3 Class 2-A. Suburban finished the year ranked No. 9 in the PVCA 2-A state rankings. The 6-foot, 3-inch Bowman will be a senior next season.
"It's been the top spot, at least in the 2-A category, for the past decade or so when you look at the whole state," Northeastern coach Matt Wilson said. "In District 3 you have a Manheim Central, and you see what they did last year and this year (finishing second in the state in 2018 and making the state semifinals in 2017). And then you have a York Suburban, and you've seen what they've done in the past years. When you (take) York County and District 3, we've had kind of a stranglehold on the rest of the state."
Wilson's program, of course, has been a big part of that dominance. In addition to winning the last six 2-A state titles, Wilson headed the 2010 team that captured the state championship as well, making it seven PIAA crowns this decade alone.
With results like that, it's not shocking to find Northeastern garnering so many all-state honors.
Injury likely prevented sixth all-state Bobcat: Northeastern likely would've had a sixth all-state performer had it not been for an injury that Wilson's son, Nate, suffered during an AAU tournament in April. Nate Wilson, however, was included on the District 3 2-A all-star squad, along with the team's other five starters.
"At the end of the day I think that being hurt those three or four weeks with that wrist injury had a lot to do with it," Matt Wilson said of Nate's absence from the all-state squad. "But I think there's little doubt that without that injury that he would have been on as well."
Along with Richards, Nate Wilson will still have two more chances to make the all-state squad. Both will be juniors next season. Those two, along with Finch, will be the biggest cogs for coach Wilson next season when the Bobcats move up to the 3-A level.
Seniors will be missed: Replacing the three seniors — Brillhart, Cheuvront and Hughes — won't be easy.
Brillhart played at a very high caliber all season on the outside, while Cheuvront was terrific after moving to libero from setter. Hughes, too, made a position change into the front row after Nate Wilson's injury, while also becoming the emotional leader on the floor for Northeastern.
"Let's start with Jacob Cheuvront," Matt Wilson said. "To be an all-state caliber setter for a state champion team, and then have your coach tell you that he needs you to make a position change isn't easy. But Jacob turned out to be the best libero in the state. His first-ball contact was unbelievable and he really allowed Austin a chance to run the show."
Brillhart, who will play collegiately at the NCAA Division I level with Lewis University outside of Chicago next year, was strong all year long despite a drop in his overall numbers.
"He was the man to be quite honest with you," Wilson said. "I know that his production and numbers may have come down a little bit, but that's really just because everyone around him just got better. Without a doubt, Cole was the best player in the entire state."
Hughes, who was a bit of a mystery for Wilson heading into the season, really stepped up to make the Bobcat attack extremely lethal.
"Wyatt was our emotional leader," Wilson said. "We flip-flopped him with Nate to give Nate more of the passing duty and I thought that allowed Wyatt to just flourish."
Key returners: While losing three all-state players from a roster would nearly cripple other programs, the Bobcats figure to be right in the thick of things again next year, even after moving up to 3-A.
The Bobcat junior varsity team might have been the third-best team in the York-Adams League last year (behind the Northeastern varsity squad and Central York), so those holes will allow for some impressive talent to have a chance to show what they can do.
Wilson also mentioned that the upcoming freshman class has the potential to contribute a few more capable players into the mix.
"We have Nate and Austin back, as well as Alex Finch," Wilson said. "We also have Zech Sanderson, who filled in the middle at the end of the year, as well as a very talented freshman class that we're excited about."
District 3 all-stars: In addition to the six all-state players and Nate Wilson, the other York-Adams players selected to the District 3 2-A All-Star Team were Dover senior setter Zachary Noll and Suburban junior opposite hitter Declan Ridings.


Forty acres of undeveloped rolling countryside was the site for this modest yet distinctly different build, which from the outset was planned to be visionary but not overwhelming. Overall, the result answers to a higher calling: not a primary residence, but rather a prospect and refuge.
Comprised of perpendicular bars atop a hill overlooking the village of Healdsburg, this home offers both ample social space ideal for entertaining, with the privacy of a rural retreat.
Recalls architect Jonathan Feldman: 'The clients were looking for a very refined, modern 'cabin' on their rustic and remote property. They wanted a retreat that would immerse them in the dramatic landscape. They also had a love for architecture, refined materials and details.
The taller section runs along the ridge of the hill and houses the home's great room. Under lofty ceilings and a simple shed overhanging roof, it's filled with light and vistas seen through the tall glass walls. Four oversized glass panels open dramatically on each side, transforming the space into an outdoor pavilion whose flush concrete floors extend into a poolside patio to the north and a terrace featuring a fire pit to the south; this provides comfortable outdoor areas for both warm and cool weather. With these doors drawn up, the site offers one sweeping, continuous view from the pool, through the great room, and down into the distant village below.
Designed for clients who enjoy entertaining, the great room features a small, efficient kitchen – with a larger working kitchen ideal for caterers tucked discretely away. The perforated panels in the room's ceiling that absorb sound during large parties, and the discrete stone strips across the floor, delineate zones within the space. These – without visual barriers – act as subtle details that add both refinement and functionality to the great room.
From its intersection with the great room, the home's second wing extends towards the north and becomes incrementally more private as it flows from the garage to a media room opening onto the pool, and to the master bedroom at its rear. The master bed looks out through another oversized, operable glass panel onto the rolling meadow beyond, establishing a visual connection with the land in the first and last moments of each day. Just a short walk away, a guesthouse extends the wing's path down the hill and offers an additional level of privacy.
With dark-stained cedar siding and low stone landscape walls that anchor the building, this house offers a modest and thoughtful response to both its site and the client's needs.
