The 2018 college football season was a historic one for the Northwestern Wildcats. They won eight-plus games for the third time in the last four seasons (and just the 16th time in program history), won a third straight bowl game for the first time, and finally claimed their first Big Ten West Division championship. After their improbable come-from-behind win against Utah in the Holiday Bowl, the expectations have been elevated. Now the hope is that Northwestern can contend for its first Big Ten title since 2000.
With their stable of returning talent, combined with the fact that they are currently projected to have a top-50 recruiting class (11th in the Big Ten), and with head coach Pat Fitzgerald deciding to stay instead of taking a potential NFL opportunity, the "Cardiac Cats" have put themselves in position to collect that elusive championship next season. Having state-of-the-art practice and workout facilities also helps, and not to mention that the volatile Big Ten West appears to be fairly wide open. Here are three specific reasons why the Wildcats will have another successful year in 2019.
Parting ways with veteran contributors such as defensive linemen Fred Wyatt and Jordan Thompson, linebacker Nate Hall, and defensive backs Montre Hartage and Jared McGee can set most programs back to some degree.
Thankfully, the Wildcats still have defensive end Joe Gaziano (team-high 7.5 sacks in 2018), linebackers Blake Gallagher, Paddy Fisher, and Nathan Fox, and defensive backs J.R. Pace, Trae Williams, and Alonzo Mayo to build around on defense.
Northwestern also has done a good job in recent seasons of recruiting players that are able to develop and step into bigger roles when called upon. And for a team that finished sixth in the Big Ten in scoring defense last year (23.2 ppg), finding new contributors to maintain this level of performance is vital.
When Jeremy Larkin retired early last season due to cervical stenosis, the Wildcats' world (and ground game) briefly stood still. Then came the revelation known as Isaiah Bowser, who as a freshman last season ran for 866 yards and six touchdowns. With the offseason to continue to improve his conditioning and learn the playbook, Bowser appears to be a safe bet to reach the 1,000-yard mark in 2019. He will have support in the backfield in the form of senior John Moten IV (599 rushing yards, 5 TDs in career) and redshirt freshman Drake Anderson (played in just two games in 2018).
The running back position has always been a staple of Northwestern football. The offensive line next year will be slightly inexperienced, but the presence of Bowser and offensive coordinator Mick McCall's game plans should compensate for that.
Fact: The Wildcats will have a new quarterback under center in 2019 as Clayton Thorson has moved onto the NFL. But whether it's T.J. Green or Hunter Johnson, Pat Fitzgerald's next signal-caller won't be completely devoid of game experience. Green spent 2018 as Thorson's backup and saw action in four games. And in those games he completed 20 of 36 passes (55.6 percent) for 169 yards with an interception.
As for Johnson, he had to sit out last season after transferring from Clemson. In 2017, Johnson saw action in seven games for the Tigers, completing 21 of 27 pass attempts (77.8 percent) for 234 yards and two touchdowns, good for a passer rating of 167.6. Granted that's a small sample size, but Johnson is the favorite to win the job. Whoever ends up getting the nod, he will have some solid targets to throw to.
While they may no longer have Flynn Nagel (team-high 68 receptions for 780 yards), Solomon Vault or Jelani Roberts on the roster, Bennett Skowronek, Cameron Green, and Riley Lees are still around and figure to be the top options. Those three combined for 124 catches that went for 1,259 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Lees came up big in the Holiday Bowl, while Skowronek will forever be known as the guy who caught the game-winning touchdown pass against Iowa that clinched the Big Ten West title for Northwestern.


Upmarket pet food brand Lily's Kitchen has poached senior Diageo marketer Chris Lock, who becomes its first marketing director.
Lock has spent nine years at the drinks giant, with the last two as general manager of the innovation team for Europe, where he was responsible for driving new product launches across the portfolio.
He has held a series of other high-ranking marketing jobs at Diageo, including Western Europe category marketing director for vodka, gin and rum; and acting global brand director for Smirnoff. Before joining Diageo in February 2007, Lock had stints at Coca-Cola and Camelot.
In his new role, Lock will report to Lily's Kitchen chief executive and founder Henrietta Morrison, overseeing both UK and international marketing.
"Lily's Kitchen is an innovative, challenger brand that has already made deep emotional connections with a loyal consumer base and has enormous scope for further development," said Lock.
"I'm looking forward to using my broad experience to develop disruptive marketing campaigns that truly resonate with all of our potential customers, and to leading the Lily's Kitchen team to achieve their ambitious goals."
Morrison said the appointment marked "an exciting and directional move" for the brand.
She added: "Chris will play a pivotal role in bringing a fresh approach to our customers, brand and communications. His customer insight and leadership skills will be crucial and a great asset as we take the business to the next level."

'There is no room for celebrating the bigotry of the Confederacy': Statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee removed from U.S. Capitol
Lee's statue will be replaced by civil rights leader Barbara Rose Johns
Image source: @TimKaine Twitter video screenshot
The statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed from the U.S. Capitol building over the weekend, by request of the governor of Lee's home state of Virginia.
What are the details?
"Last night, Virginia removed its statue of Robert E. Lee from the U.S. Capitol," Gov. Ralph Northam (D) tweeted Monday, saying, "This is an important step forward—it is past time we tell our story with images of perseverance, diversity, and inclusion."

— Ralph Northam (@Ralph Northam)1608557207.0
The statue of Lee will be replaced by civil rights leader Barbara Rose Johns, who led a 1951 student walkout at her all-black high school at the age of 16 to protest conditions of the institution compared to those at a nearby all-white school. She is credited with playing a critical role in the desegregation of America.
Northam said in a statement:
"We should all be proud of this important step forward for our Commonwealth and our country. The Confederacy is a symbol of Virginia's racist and divisive history, and it is past time we tell our story with images of perseverance, diversity, and inclusion. I look forward to seeing a trailblazing young woman of color represent Virginia in the U.S. Capitol, where visitors will learn about Barbara Johns' contributions to America and be empowered to create positive change in their communities just like she did."
Fellow Virginian Sen. Tim Kaine (D) took footage of the Lee statue being removed:

— Tim Kaine (@Tim Kaine)1608561465.0
According to NBC News, "For 111 years, the statue stood alongside that of the nation's first president, George Washington, as the state of Virginia's contribution to the National Statuary Hall. Each state is allowed two statues in the collection."
A news release from Northam's office noted that the statue of Lee "had been one among 13 located in the Crypt of the Capitol, representing the 13 original colonies." The Virginia Museum of History and Culture in Richmond, Virginia, will now take ownership of the statue, according to the release.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hailed the decision, saying in a statement, "The removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee and its forthcoming replacement by a tribute to Barbara Johns, a civil rights pioneer and pride of Virginia, is welcome news. The halls of Congress are the very heart of our Democracy, and the statues within the Capitol should embody our highest ideals as Americans."
She added, "The Congress will continue our work to rid the Capitol of homages to hate, as we fight to end the scourge of racism in our country. There is no room for celebrating the bigotry of the Confederacy in the Capitol or any other place of honor in our country."
Not everyone agreed with the decision. Republican state Sen.-elect Wendy Rogers from Arizona tweeted in reaction, "Robert E Lee was a great patriot and a great leader. They are not just tearing him down. They are coming after all of us. Get involved now. You could be next."

— Wendy Rogers (@Wendy Rogers)1608571193.0
She argued later that Lee "fought a war to defend the Commonwealth of Virginia which is where his family lived. Upon surrendering, he did more than anyone to heal the divide between the North and the South. Very ignorant liberals simply create straw men and red herrings."
The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh also defended the legacy of Lee, tweeting that the general "was a far better and more impressive man than all of the people pulling his statues down."

The paper collages represent themes I was exploring in the Poet drawing and wider visualisation of the cataloguing process. What is the value is retaining the companies' production records? What value is there in knowing the amounts of books produced? Or the typeface used in publishing? I started to create production records of my own in paper collage.

Voting in labor
Pregnant S.C. woman's water breaks at polling place, still votes
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WFXB) – there was an exceptionally unique situation at one polling place in South Carolina Tuesday: a voter's water broke.
At a polling place at St. John's High School in Johns Island, a pregnant woman in line wasn't feeling so great, so the voter got out of the standing line and moved to her car in the curbside line reserved for those who are unable to stand. That's where she realized she was about to go into labor.
It was then that precinct clerk, Melinda Norris, brought the ballot machine into the parking lot. Norris said the voter's husband kept telling her to vote straight ticket, and
she said, "I can't!"

By Murray Evans
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (AP) January 2011
The impact made by Wilma Mankiller as one of the nation's most visible American Indian leaders was evident upon her death, as two current or former U.S. presidents publicly weighed in on the former Cherokee Nation chief's legacy.
In Indian circles, few names were as big as that of Mankiller, who died April 6 at age 64 after suffering from pancreatic cancer. She served from 1985 to 1995 as the Cherokees' first female chief, taking tribal issues to the White House and teaching "the lesson that our lives and future are for us to decide," current Cherokee Chief Chad Smith said.
During her tenure, Mankiller helped triple the Tahlequah-based tribe's enrollment, doubled employment and focused on building new health centers and children's programs for the tribe.
Former President Bill Clinton presented Mankiller with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, in 1998 and noted upon her death how "she worked to create jobs, break down social and economic barriers, improve access to health care and address the roots of both rural and urban poverty" while leading the Cherokees "with dignity and grace."
President Barack Obama said Mankiller "was recognized for her vision and commitment to a brighter future for all Americans."


This week, on the 3rd and 4th, I was participating in Get Together 2018 by the Faculty of Music of Southampton University (UK).
It was a really nice experience and opportunity, to be abroad and hear what are the young composers doing there, and to share our music together. In addition we had a rehearshal-workshop with two fantastic musicians, and I had the pleasure to work my piece "it's almost a lullaby" with Ana Filipa Botelho.
Now focused in my last weeks in Cologne before the summer holidays…!


Incentives If you choose to purchase Backyard Revolution Review your own solar panels, there are currently many state and federal incentive programs available to help subsidize your investment in renewable energy. Whether in the form of a tax credit, rebate or other incentive, these initiatives can be very helpful when it comes to making this type of large investment.Although the up-front cost of solar panels can be prohibitive to many, the long-term benefits of ownership are still very high. Whether you opt for a monthly payment through a loan or leasing program, or purchase them outright, many solar panel owners can expect for their panels to bring a return on their investment within the first two years. Talk with a local electrician or solar power expert in your area to discuss different options, and whether or not your home or business is ideal for this type of renewable energy source.These types of nutritional plans are made to help an individual build their muscle and lose excess pounds. They are also ideal for maintaining a healthy weight. The general idea is to consume fiber and protein-rich food that are low in carbohydrates and fat. It is also key that a meal is eating every couple of hours. Whether dieting or eating regularly, one must be sure to consume enough water to stay hydrated.Generally, bodybuilders need more calories than the average individual that is of the same height as them due to the workload. This is necessary to provide the energy requirements and protein that is needed to support their training methods as well as increase muscle mass. The ratios of food energy from proteins, fats and carbohydrates will vary based on the goals that the individual wants to achieve.

Summer is almost here, and today I wanted to share some of my favorite classic seasonal recipes with you!
This collection features several of my very best recipes for summer picnics, parties, and simply good eating, enjoy!
Squeeze the juice of the two limes into a small bowl - or into your food processor. Add minced garlic and a little salt. Then add avocado and spices, and blend into a paste. Your results will be chunkier if you are blending by hand, and creamier if you are using a food processor. Place the avocado puree into a serving bowl and gently stir in chopped tomato. Adjust seasonings, adding more salt or Tabasco to taste. Sprinkle with a bit of tomato or fresh chopped cilantro as desired. Refrigerate and let flavors blend for 1-2 hours - if you can resist eating this immediately.
Great served with classic, natural tortilla chips, but also with toasted pita bread triangles, or as a raw vegetable dip, feel free to experiment. Enjoy!
A light and refreshing Greek style summer dip!
Grate cucumber, season with salt, and let drain in a sieve for 10 minutes. Press out excess water. Mix cucumber with all remaining ingredients, and season to taste. Let flavors blend for at least one hour or longer in the refrigerator, and serve with fresh vegetables or pita bread. So good!
These Italian style bruschetta are great for party buffets or for a special appetizer. The combination of flavors is melt in your mouth wonderful.
Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl and set aside to marinate. Meanwhile, spread baguette slices with soft goat cheese (or herbal cream cheese works well too). Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of the tomato mixture and serve immediately. Simple + delicious!
A fresh take on a classic summer picnic salad.
Boil potatoes in skins for 20-25 minutes or until just tender.
Meanwhile, prepare vinaigrette dressing ingredients by whisking together vinegar, oil, mustard, herbs, red onion, and salt and pepper to taste. When potatoes are done, drain, peel if desired, cut into chunks, and place in a large bowl. This is important - while potatoes are still warm, pour over vinaigrette dressing and mix gently. The potatoes really soak up the flavors of the dressing best while warm.
Let potatoes cool then add bell pepper, Feta cheese, and olives. Mix very gently, and season to taste. Allow all salad ingredients to marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature. This is a great picnic salad, or served with grilled vegetables for a light meal.
A flavorful combination of ingredients in this lovely summer salad!
Cook green beans in boiling salted water or vegetable stock until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Mix cooled beans with red onion, tomatoes, cheese, and basil in a large bowl.
Meanwhile, blend remaining ingredients into a creamy vinaigrette. Pour over vegetables and toss gently. Check seasonings, chill for at least one hour and serve. Healthy and so good!
This is a delicious and beautiful way to eat your vegetables. Simple to make and this is a colorful, light main dish that also works well for a crowd.
Preheat oven to 400ºF/200ºC and oil a large ceramic or glass baking dish. Toss chopped vegetables with olive oil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until vegetables are soft and golden, stirring a couple of times during baking.
Meanwhile, about 10 minutes before vegetables are done, cook pasta and drain. Blend together vinaigrette ingredients and set aside. Toss hot, fresh pasta with roasted vegetables, and pour over vinaigrette, mixing well. Season with additional salt, pepper, and/or lemon juice as needed.
Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Yum!
*If you are reducing carbohydrates in your diet, you can also completely omit or use half the amount of pasta in this recipe.
A "Flammkuchen" or "flame cake" is a savory thin crusted tart typical for the Alsace region of France. Traditionally made with bacon and creme fraiche, I especially like this vegetarian version made with zucchini and red onions.
For the crust, combine flour, salt, olive oil, egg yolk, then slowly add water until mixture sticks together. Knead into a smooth dough, press into a ball, and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rest 5 minutes. Line or grease a large baking sheet and Preheat oven to 400ºF / 200ºC.
A quick, colorful, and tasty summertime meal!
** If you are vegetarian/vegan, simply use tofu instead chicken, or substitute extra vegetables like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes for a vegan variation.
Whisk together all marinade ingredients, then add vegetables, chicken or tofu, and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Divide the vegetable, chicken/tofu pieces among the metal skewers.
In the summer, you can grill these outdoors - or you can can also grill the skewers in a pan in a 400ºF / 200ºC oven for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned and tender, turning at least once during cooking.
These are easy to make and delicious with rice, toasted pita bread, and a salad.
Preheat oven to 350° and butter tart form. A ceramic quiche form works especially well, but a 10" spring form pan is also fine. Mix together melted butter and sugar, add flour and knead until blended. The mixture will be crumbly. Press into tart form and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool while you prepare the filling.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Combine creme fraiche or sour cream with the egg and mix until well blended. Add the sugar, flour, vanilla, and orange liqueur. Pour mixture into prebaked pastry shell, and arrange apricots, cut side down, on top of the cream mixture. Bake until a knife inserted in the cream mixture comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool and serve at room temperature, preferably within an hour of baking. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
I promise your taste buds will be delighted!
These bars are wonderful at any time of the year, but especially nice served chilled for a summer picnic.
Preheat oven to 350º F/ 175ºC. Grease and flour an 8 inch square baking pan.
For the crust: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press mixture into bottom of pan as evenly as possible (you may need to dust hands with flour to do this). Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk together eggs, sugar, and cream. Sprinkle in flour and salt, stir well. Then add fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, mix until smooth and foamy. Pour the lemon filling on top of the crust - it's fine if the crust is still hot - and bake for 25-30 minutes or until just set.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.* I find these are even better after chilling in the refrigerator for a few hours, so don't get too impatient. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
*To make sure that your bars cut easily, try this special trick: fill a heat-resistant glass with hot water, and dip your knife into the hot water before slicing. Repeat with each new cut. Your bars will look perfect!
This combination of strawberries with flavors of orange and vanilla, fresh whipped cream, and layered ladyfingers is a light and fruity version of Italian tiramisu. It's a memorable way to use your summer strawberries, and it's a special treat when garnished with grated white chocolate and fresh mint leaves.
Marinate quartered strawberries in 2 Tbsp. sugar and 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier, set aside.
Whip heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then stir in remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in mascarpone/cream cheese, and continue beating until creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine juice of 1 orange and 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier.
Place a layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9 x 13" glass serving dish. Drizzle with one half of the orange juice/Grand Marnier mixture. Add a layer of strawberries (including juice), then one half of the whipped cream. Repeat. Garnish with grated white chocolate, fresh mint leaves, and a few halved strawberries.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend. An amazing summertime recipe that makes plenty to share with friends!
Sparkling, citrusy, and always a big hit at my summer parties!
Boil sugar and water briefly until sugar is dissolved, let cool. Place sliced citrus fruits in a large pitcher, add Grand Marnier, sugar syrup, white wine, and sparkling water. Stir well and chill. Just before serving, add ice cubes.
Perfect for an afternoon picnic or outdoor evening meal, light and refreshing!

Interesting emoji text adventure with a lot of meat to it. Certainly not the first of the genre in this game jam, but it really distinguishes itself with a broader 'dialogue tree' and amount of routes in comparison.
A text adventure with no text but emojis instead. I beat the game (killed the dragon) and it was frustrating but it did follow marks topic very well and felt as fair as it could be. I got extremely lost finding the bomb, forgot how I found the money to buy the bomb but what ever it was I game so close to shutting it down. The alien secret was fun but i feel like i missed a secret. Because even after beating the game one of the vampires is mad with the church and something about a document? how do I do that quest? is it a secret or a hint? I talk to the church guy with the book and I don't understand him. Anyways sweet game I hope it gets included. I spent a lot of time trying to beat this one!
Yeah, unfortunately there were a few loose ends I didn't have time to close up, like what the vampire was talking about and the painting you get from the artist. The money was from the mermaid. Also yeah, it was real hard to get it down to as frustrating as it is now, (Emojis are kinda the worst).
Cool idea! But I found it really difficult to understand what everything meant.

Listen up. FRIED is a no-no! It's not just deep-fried; don't kid yourself…. that includes Crispy or Crisped, Pan-fried, Pan-seared and Seared. All of these terms are restaurants trying to fool you into thinking that the food isn't fried. It is. Period. Restaurants like to fry foods because it's fast to cook, easy to serve a lot of and serve it fast, because it covers up lower quality meats and fish and because that kind of fat is the easiest way to make food taste good. Sad but true.
Bake it, Broil it, Grill it, Stir-fry it…in a wok only….don't use a frying pan and think that's the same thing…the oils are used and absorbed differently by the meats (the protein has to be cut into long thin strips to make it work…that's not just to look pretty). Grill it. You can boil your eggs and beans but it makes anything else kind of dull.
Spices and fresh or good quality dried herbs are your friend!!! They blast your taste-buds and let your mouth feel like it's experienced a real meal NOT diet food (a horrible way to feel about your meal). Chillis also raise your metabolism for hours after eating them…..and we've all got to love that!
Anyone got a healthy cooking trick that they love and want to share?
Use Pam instead of margarine and butter. This has helped me out a lot! No need for the extra fat,calories and salt.
Ok… when I sautee I use like 4 table spooons of olive oil… that can't be soo bad- that is how I sautee all my veggies.

'Freaks And Geeks' star Jessica Campbell dies l
by Lana Bennett
in Life&Culture
Working with Jessica on Election was such a pleasure. The Election star died unexpectedly last month, her family has confirmed to TMZ.
Reese Witherspoon took to her Twitter to pay tribute to Jessica, writing: "So heartbroken to hear this". They said Campbell had congestion, thinking she was coming down with a cold, but the family didn't suspect COVID.
"While coping with this unexpected and tragic turn of events and planning for Oliver's future, the family is also faced with unexpected cremation, memorial, and probate expenses".
Campbell had retired from her acting career to become a naturopathic physician. She apparently went to the bathroom and never came out.

Broderick, who played civics teacher Jim McAllister, told The Hollywood Reporter, "When I think of Jessica I remember a shy, incredibly sweet, very pink-cheeked teenager who liked to discuss with me what is best to order at Applebee's".
While it's unclear when she pivoted to become a doctor, the GoFundMe page noted that, "on multiple occasions", she "dropped everything to travel across state lines and care for her loved ones in need".

Actor Versus Actor: On-Set Thrown Downs
By Erin Free
The on-set relationship between actors can be a positive one, but sometimes, it can be something altogether different, as these notorious actor-versus-actor production spats amply attest.
DUSTIN HOFFMAN VS LAURENCE OLIVIER: MARATHON MAN
When Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman were cast in John Schlesinger's gripping, wire-tight 1976 thriller, Marathon Man, two wildly divergent acting styles were sent careening toward each other. Olivier was one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of the modern era, and was a classicist in every sense of the word. Given a mild taste of the more contemporary Method style of acting when he directed Marilyn Monroe in The Prince And The Showgirl in 1957, Olivier copped a big, meaty mouthful in the form of Dustin Hoffman, who immersed himself fully and bodily into the role of a young history student on the run from Olivier's ruthless Nazi war criminal. The pair allegedly clashed constantly due to their differing acting styles, but Hoffman has attributed these rumours to malice on the part of writer, William Goldman, who wasn't happy that Hoffman had persuaded John Schlesinger to change the ending of his source novel. The film's most infamous anecdote has Hoffman refusing to sleep all night in order to approximate exhaustion in one of the film's notorious torture scenes, to which Olivier is said to have quipped, "Why doesn't he just act?" John Schlesinger addressed the alleged animus in Venice Magazine in 2000. "Laurence Olivier didn't want to improvise, and Dustin did. He was trying various acting techniques to appear out-of-it during the dental [torture] scenes. When I looked at the dailies, I realised that there was no reaction from Hoffman's eyes, so I had to completely reshoot all the close-ups. That's when Olivier said to me, 'Why doesn't he just try acting?'"
DEBRA WINGER VS SHIRLEY MACLAINE: TERMS OF ENDEARMENT
Despite being one of the biggest box office successes of 1983, and garnering five Oscars, the shoot for the much loved drama, Terms Of Endearment, was a notoriously hellish affair. The story of a warring mother and daughter, James L. Brooks' adaptation of Larry McMurtry's novel starred Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. The two women – from two very different schools of acting, and with wildly differing opinions on the craft – worked wonders on screen, but rubbed each other the wrong way right from the get-go. Details of their spats vary, but one much reported incident involved Winger lifting her skirt and farting in the direction of MacLaine. On another day, Winger had pushed MacLaine so far that the older actress jumped in her car with the intention of leaving the set for good. MacLaine was stopped only by a production assistant throwing himself on the hood, and begging her to stay. With MacLaine infamously spiky, and the equally difficult Winger battling a nasty cocaine habit, the shoot was damned. Terms Of Endearment still stands as a classic, and the cutting irony of a "women's film" being best-known for its off-screen catfights has only added to its lustre. When MacLaine was filming the disappointing 1996 sequel, The Evening Star, the producers wanted to use a picture of Debra Winger in one scene. In an interview with E! Online, MacLaine recalled, "The producer called Debra and asked if we could use it, and Debra said, 'Sure, just make sure that Shirley doesn't use it as a dartboard.'"
MICKEY ROURKE VS KIM BASINGER: 91/2 WEEKS
"I don't like actresses at all," Mickey Rourke told FilmInk in 2005 in typically brusque, controversy-baiting fashion. Despite this characteristically macho proclamation, most of his female co-stars (from Keira Knightley and Marisa Tomei to Megan Fox and Faye Dunaway) have had nothing but kind words for Rourke. One of the few exceptions is Kim Basinger, who starred opposite the actor in the dark, sexy 1986 drama, 91/2 Weeks. Detailing the steamy but ultimately ugly relationship that cooks between Rourke's dominating financial high flyer and Basinger's submissive art scenester, the film required the pair to get up very close and extremely personal in a number of censor-tempting sex scenes, an experience which the actress described as decidedly unpleasant. "Kissing Mickey Rourke was like kissing an ashtray," Basinger infamously said, pointing to her general dislike of the actor. The rancor, however, was later revealed to largely be the doing of director, Adrian Lyne, who encouraged Rourke to be cruel and distant toward Basinger in an effort to create the appropriate on-screen tension. "I hated him sometimes," Basinger told The New York Times of her co-star. "I got confused. I didn't know who I was after a while." Rourke and Basinger later patched up their differences, and even appeared together in The Informers (they shared no scenes, but walked the red carpet together at the film's premiere) and Black November. "That fuckin' Kim Basinger was hot as shit," Mickey Rourke charmingly reminisced of 91/2 Weeks in 2011. "I used to go home with a boner every night. Really. That was no fun…"
JULIA ROBERTS VS NICK NOLTE: I LOVE TROUBLE
1994's I Love Trouble is one of the truly forgettable flicks of the nineties, a mishandled star vehicle for then-red-hot Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte that was one-part romantic comedy, one-part thriller, and all parts failure. The only thing that has given the film any modicum of memorability is the chaos that reigned on the set. Though the film's director, Charles Shyer, and co-writer, Nancy Myers, were said to have an unhappy relationship with their stars, the real snap-and-crack frittered between Roberts and Nolte. Both stars are said to have thrown tantrums, as well as lots of four-letter-words, at each other. Many years after the film had been released, Roberts publicly referred to Nolte as "a disgusting human being", which the veteran actor didn't take lying down. "It's not nice to call someone 'disgusting,'" Nolte replied when asked about Roberts' comment. "But she's not a nice person. Everyone knows that. Does something like that hurt? Maybe. But it's not important whether I'm liked or disliked. Some people like me. Some don't. Some people I like working with, some I don't." The Pretty Woman not a nice person? Nolte would appear to have back-up. Comedian/actor, Jeff Garlin, who co-starred with Julia Roberts in 2002's Full Frontal, has been equally uncomplimentary. "I said to her, 'It's an honour to work with you' and she couldn't have been more dismissive," he told British magazine, Closer. "She talked to everyone in the room but me. My wife asked me how it went, and I said, 'I don't think Julia Roberts likes me.'"
BILL MURRAY VS LUCY LIU: CHARLIE'S ANGELS
When comic firebrand, Bill Murray, opted not to return in the role of Bosley for the action-comedy sequel, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, speculation sizzled about the reasons why. 2000's Charlie's Angels had been a hit, and Murray's on-screen chemistry with the film's leading ladies, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu, bubbled with charm and energy. The reason for the actor's departure was soon located by media consensus at the feet of Lucy Liu, with whom Murray reportedly had a violent on-set argument. Both actors have since tried to hose down the alleged hostility. "We began rehearsing this scene," Murray has said, "and I asked, 'Lucy, how can you want to say these lines? These are so crazy.' She got furious with me because she thought that it was a personal assault, but the reality is that she hated these lines as much as I did. But for twenty minutes there, we went to our separate corners and threw hand-grenades and sky rockets at each other. But we made peace, and I got to know her better from that day, and I feel very warmly for her now." Lucy Liu, meanwhile, has been equally magnanimous, if a little more icy. "There's nothing to talk about," the actress told The LA Times in 2012. "Bill Murray's incredibly talented, and I think that he has a very creative life. It's okay for people to have opinions. It's a discussion. Everyone has an opinion about something. Maybe you don't agree, but it doesn't mean that it was anything more than that."
STEVEN SEAGAL VS JOHN LEGUIZAMO: EXECUTIVE DECISION
Though famed as a big screen hardman with an off-screen penchant for laidback interests like Buddhism, blues, and the environment, according to one co-star, Steven Seagal's tough guy mean streak isn't just confined to his movie roles. As relayed by John Leguizamo (occasional stand-up comedian and cheeky big-mouth of renown), Steven Seagal walked onto the set of their 1996 action flick, Executive Decision, and instantly informed the cast and crew that he was the shoot's alpha male, despite only having a supporting role. "I'm in command," the actor announced. "Everything that I say is law. Anybody doesn't agree?" When the ever-sassy Leguizamo let out a big laugh in response, the diminutive actor quickly felt the wrath of Steven Seagal. "I started cracking up because he sounded like a retard," Leguizamo – who lampooned Seagal and many other actors in his 2011 stand-up show, Ghetto Klown – said on QTV. "Then he Taekwondo'ed my ass against a brick wall and hit me with his elbow. He's six-foot-five, and he caught me off guard. He knocked all of the air out of me, and I was like, 'Why?!' I really wanted to say how big and fat he was, and that he runs like a girl, but I didn't, because all I could say was, 'Why?!' Why'd he slam me against the wall? We were rehearsing. Why can't I call him names? If I can't let it out, it's going to build like a cancer. His publicist told my publicist that he wants to punch me out. I better stop talking about him."
JOAQUIN PHOENIX VS ROBERT DUVALL: WE OWN THE NIGHT
Sometimes actor-on-actor clashes are all in the service of the film itself. James Gray's dark, grimly atmospheric 2007 crime drama, We Own The Night, hinges on the difficult relationship that simmers between Robert Duvall's old school cop and his nightclub manager son, played by Joaquin Phoenix. To punch up the on-screen friction, Gray quietly instructed Phoenix to get under the veteran actor's skin during the shoot. "It really got on my nerves," Duvall told FilmInk, "but maybe it helped the relationship. It wasn't my idea to work that way. He'd ask me personal questions like, 'How many times a week do you make love to your wife?' He was pissing me off, so I said back to him, 'How can you play Johnny Cash with a hair lip?' We were getting really personal, but it served the characters. He was always fumbling, and saying to James, 'Oh, I can't do this or that.' He was a cry baby, but he's wonderful in the movie. I told him at the premiere that he was a lot better than I thought he was going to be! He actually told me to tell my wife after the shoot that he's not really like that!" But what was Phoenix specifically trying to achieve in his Method approach, when he asked Duvall how many times he made love to his wife a week? "I asked him that?" Phoenix blushed to FilmInk, before regaining his memory. "I don't know, but he looked like he was going to fucking smack me! It was fantastic."
MICHAEL PARE VS RICK MORANIS: STREETS OF FIRE
Now known as the cuddly, inoffensive star of family-friendly flicks like Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, The Flintstones, and Ghostbusters, the diminutive Rick Moranis started out as a smart-mouthed comic and radio DJ, and it was these qualities that he allegedly brought to the set of Walter Hill's 1984 cult action fantasy, Streets Of Fire, which was one of his first big screen roles. "Rick Moranis drove me out of my mind," co-star, Michael Pare, told Ain't It Cool. "There's this whole wave of insult comedy. If someone insults you a couple of times, you can smack them, but you can't do that on a movie set. These comedians walk around, and they can say whatever they want. I'm just not that handy with that. Comedians are a special breed. They can antagonise you, and say whatever they fucking want, and you can't do anything to stop them. It's one thing once in a while, but I was with the guy all fucking day. He's this weird looking little guy who couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of fifties. He would imitate me. The first thing he says to me is, 'Do you just act cool, or are you really cool?' That was the first sentence out of his mouth to me in [producer] Joel Silver's office. I was like, 'Oh fuck, this is not going to go well.' But he was one of Joel's dear friends, and he later made lots of hit movies. I just wasn't that sharp. I wasn't ready for that kind of crap."
ROBERT SHAW VS RICHARD DREYFUSS: JAWS
The 1976 classic, Jaws, had one of the most infamously troubled shoots of all time, with a mechanical shark that wouldn't work, an inexperienced director in the young Steven Spielberg, unpredictable weather, and a nervous gaggle of studio executives sweating over the bloating budget. The most titanic battle, however, raged between hardened veteran actor, Robert Shaw, and plucky up-and-comer, Richard Dreyfuss. The older, seasoned British performer, for whatever reason, took an instant dislike to his younger, New York-bred co-star. "Robert was the largest personality that I've ever met," Richard Dreyfuss has said. "He was outsize in his kindness, and in his capability of being nuts. In private, he was the sweetest man in the world, but then he would walk onto set and turn into this vicious, nasty guy who tried to cut you down at the knees…and I was his greatest target." The film's star, Roy Scheider, once described a typical barbed comment that Shaw slung viciously in Dreyfuss' direction. "Shaw would say, 'Look at you, Dreyfuss. You eat and you drink and you're fat and you're sloppy. At your age, it's criminal. Why, you couldn't even do ten good push-ups!'" Consensus has much of Shaw's bitterness and anger blooming out of his alcoholism, which was on prime display through much of the production. "Shaw was a perfect gentleman whenever he was sober," Dreyfuss says in the documentary, Jaws: The Inside Story. "All he needed was one drink, and then he turned into a competitive son-of-a-bitch." "It got ugly," Spielberg has admitted of the feud between his two stars.
BURT REYNOLDS VS WILLIAM MCKINNEY: DELIVERANCE
The horribly absorbing tale of four city boys who head down river into hillbilly territory and pay the ultimate price, John Boorman's 1972 thriller, Deliverance, is one of the true masterpieces of seventies cinema, a brutal stand-alone that leaves unrivalled emotional scars. Shot on location in South Carolina, the film's most notorious sequence has Ned Beatty's pudgy innocent raped and humiliated by two demented backwoodsmen in broad daylight on the banks of a raging river. The scene has a truly horrific sense of immediacy, largely due to the believably rapacious performances of character actor, William McKinney, and illiterate, toothless screen debutante, Herbert "Cowboy" Coward. When John Boorman explained to Coward that he had to rape a man in the scene, he replied, "I've done worse." According to the film's star, Burt Reynolds, William McKinney went too far in his performance of the scene. "I swear to God, McKinney really wanted to hump Ned," Reynolds writes in his autobiography, My Life. "And I think he was going to. He had it up, and he was going to bang him. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran into the scene, dove on McKinney, and pulled him off Ned. Boorman helped hold him down. Ned, crying with rage and fear, found a big stick and started beating McKinney on the head." When Reynolds demanded of Boorman why he'd taken so long to stop filming, the actor alleges that the director replied, "I was waiting for you to run in. I knew when you ran in that I'd taken the audience to breaking point."
RAQUEL WELCH VS JIM BROWN: 100 RIFLES
Though barely a footnote in the history of American westerns, the 1969 potboiler, 100 Rifles, caused a minor stir upon release for throwing sex siren, Raquel Welch, and African-American NFL player turned actor, Jim Brown, together in a lense-steaming interracial on-screen relationship. Off screen, however, the pair despised each other. Co-star, Burt Reynolds, traced the source of their friction to an on-set incident in which Welch – who was travelling in a full Land Rover with Brown, Reynolds, and others on the way to the film's remote set – refused to stop and pick up a black stuntman who was walking along the blistering hot road to the shoot. Brown then told the driver to stop, picked Welch bodily up, deposited her beside the side of the road, and ordered the stuntman to take her seat. "From then on," Reynolds writes in his autobiography, My Life, "Raquel would have preferred to be someplace else, and I can't say that I blamed her." In the biography, Raquel Welch, the actress says that, "nobody could possibly top Jim Brown. It was just awful." According to Jim Brown, however, Welch was a pain-in-the-posterior-prima-donna. "My co-star is not my boss," he told Roger Ebert. "But she had all her people around, telling the rest of us when publicity photos would be permitted and when they wouldn't, and all of that. The only way to save myself was to just get out of that, and to withdraw from any contact. I did my job, but I completely withdrew from the BS involving Raquel's image."
MARLON BRANDO VS GLENN FORD: THE TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON
One of the most inventive troublemakers in movie history, the great Marlon Brando revelled in one of his best pieces of on-set silliness when he co-starred with Hollywood veteran, Glenn Ford, in the 1956 comedy, The Teahouse Of The August Moon. Perhaps intimidated by the fact that the attention-grabbing Brando was playing a Japanese man (!) in the film, Ford indulged in a whole array of not-so-subtle scene-stealing antics: stepping on Brando's lines, placing himself in front of Brando in the camera-line, and doing odd bits of business when he was in the background of scenes to draw attention to himself. As he relays in his autobiography, Songs My Mother Taught Me, Brando quickly became infuriated with Ford's immaturity, and put into action a mild course of torture. As well as then indulging in his own scene-stealing silliness, Brando identified Ford as a "food miser", and started to steal from the cache of cookies and candies (which were hard to come by in fifties Japan, where the film was shot) that the actor had hidden away in his dressing room. Brando would eat the cookies, and then leave the crumbs outside Ford's dressing room, which led the actor to believe that he was being food-burgled by local kids. "When he saw the crumbs, he exploded," Brando writes. "It must have been about $1.75 worth of cookies, but it sent him into a rage, and he demanded that the producers post guards outside our dressing room. Glenn asked me if I knew anything about it, and I told him in my most convincing voice that it was a mystery to me."

Incredible! Now Scott Walker Wants to Abolish a Statewide Elected Office
Election debates
The antidemocratic governor wants to eliminate the Office of State Treasurer, and with it another potential check and balance on his authority.
By John NicholsTwitter

No governor in the United States has been so resolutely determined to structurally diminish democracy as Scott Walker.
Just last week, the hyper-partisan governor of Wisconsin was called out by a judge he had appointed for literally refusing to let Wisconsinites vote for their elected representatives. The governor's rationale for failing to call special elections to fill vacant state legislative seats was so absurd that Dane County Circuit Judge Josann Reynolds dismissed it as "inconsistent, incompatible and irreconcilable."
In ordering Walker to call the special elections for vacant State Assembly and State Senate seats, Judge Reynolds saw through the manufactured explanations for blocking elections that Republicans might lose and simply declared, "To state the obvious, if the plaintiffs have a right to vote for their representatives, they must have an election to do so."
Logic and the law tripped Walker up and, thankfully, there was a judge to check and balance the governor's antidemocratic impulses.
But sometimes the voters must take charge of checking and balancing gubernatorial power grabs.
That will be the case on April 3, when Wisconsin voters will have an opportunity to reject Walker's most audacious assault on democracy yet.
The governor who has tried to prevent voters from electing their representatives in special elections is now supporting a move to eliminate an elected statewide office—literally striking it off the ballot so that voters will no longer have any role at all in filling it.
The office is that of state treasurer, a constitutional position that has existed from the founding of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's founders, like the state's leaders through much of its history, recognized the value of sharing power in a number of statewide elected posts. They created a governorship with a two-year term and a separate lieutenant governorship, as well as an attorney general, secretary of state, and state treasurer. All were elected in partisan contests. After some tinkering and rearranging, a sixth constitutional office, that of state superintendent of public instruction, was established as a nonpartisan position.
Over the past 50 years, successive governors and legislators have conspired to consolidate power in the executive branch. They amended the constitution to eliminate two-year terms and replace them with four-year terms (eliminating a level of electoral accountability), they undermined the independence of the lieutenant governor's office by requiring candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to run as a ticket, they took away the power of the secretary of state to oversee elections. They took away most of the financial oversight duties of the state treasurer's office. And they frequently sought to undermine the authority of the superintendent of public instruction.
At every turn, power has been shifted toward the governor's office. In recent years, Walker and his legislative allies have accelerated the process. They have stripped authority and staff from the offices of secretary of state and state treasurer; they have engaged in partisan assaults on the independence and integrity of the superintendent of public instruction; and they have even gone so far as to push for a restructuring of the state Supreme Court that politicized the selection of the chief justice.
Now they are going to even further extremes. Walker's legislative cronies have placed on the April 3 ballot an amendment proposal to simply eliminate the state treasurer's office. If they get away with this stunt, it is a safe bet that they will eventually seek to eliminate the secretary of state's office and the independent Department of Public Instruction.
This would make Walker and future governors even more powerful. The cronies they appoint would manage state business as extensions of the governor's office, rather than as extensions of the electorate. Accountability would be further eroded.
In the case of eliminating the treasurer's office, oversight of public lands in Wisconsin would also be altered—in a way that, again, would shift more power toward the governor's office.
Currently, the state treasurer sits on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, which is charged with managing roughly $1 billion in public assets and 77,000 acres of state land. With the secretary of state and the attorney general, the treasurer sits on the commission with a duty to "carry on the pioneering commitment of our state's early leaders to a constitutionally protected form of public education financing that originated with millions of acres of land granted by the federal government." While most of the school-trust lands were sold more than a century ago, the School Trust Funds managed by the commission continue to expand and remain a significant state asset.
Under the proposed amendment on the April 3 ballot, Walker's lieutenant governor would replace the treasurer on the commission—meaning that, for the first time in Wisconsin history, someone who was elected not on his or her own but on a ticket with the governor would serve on what was designed to be a independent commission.
That may not seem like the most dramatic change to some. But it is part and parcel of the broader shift away from the carefully designed balancing of powers that was established at the founding of the state. That's unsettled Democrats who usually oppose Walker and even some Republicans. Former state treasurer Jack Voight says of the proposed amendment: "It will silence the financial voice of our state and silence the checks and balances."
Voight and a number of other current and former officials, from both parties, are urging voters to reject the amendment. They recognize that it is unwise to consolidate more power in the hands of the governor and his unaccountable appointees.
Several legislators have suggested that a strong "no" vote on April 3 would signal a desire to renew the treasurer's office by restoring at least some of its historic authority.
More broadly, a "no" vote would signal that Wisconsin should stop the process of shifting more and more power toward the governor's office.
No state is well served by an all-powerful governor. In fact, if the recent shenanigans of Walker and other governors with regard to special elections are any indication, governors are becoming so powerful that many of them no longer believe that they must respect the laws and the traditions of the states.
Citizens are best served by multiple elected officials with well-defined responsibilities and shared authority. That's true for Wisconsin and for every other state, as it is the federal government. The whole point of a system of checks and balances is for power to be shared by elected officials who get their authority from the people—not from a power-hungry executive.

History shines through colorful Deadwood home
DEADWOOD, S.D. — Deadwood is known for its history. The stories that shaped the town are passed through the decades and take shape on the streets and in the homes.
The 'Thistle House" is home to Lynn Namminga. He's an antique enthusiast who loves stained glass and the stories they tell.
Just around the corner from the Adam's House in Deadwood is a home named for thistles, but inside you'll find more than just the prickly plant. Colors bounding from wall to wall as the light shines through stained glass. The pieces dating back centuries.
Namminga retired from teaching in Des Moines, Iowa at 55 and set out for Deadwood. Over the next decade, he completely rebuilt his house.
"I spent ten full years working on it," said Namminga. "There's not one inch of this house I haven't had my hands on."
But throughout the house, stained glass pieces line the windows, filtering light of every color. Sitting in his front window are two particular panels dating back to the 1870s that were built into an old pioneer's home.
After World War II, many flocked to Deadwood in pursuit of work, but the accommodate the demand, houses were bought up and turned into apartments, just like one house down the road called the "Treber House".
"I told the guy that owned it, I said 'They were all just young, miner guys right out of the war and they're going to ruin this stuff'," said Namminga. "He agreed and I felt kind of bad about it, but he sold me these two windows."
But like the two windows, each piece adorning the doors, windows, and walls has a story, along with the endless amount of antiques collected and set throughout his home.

It is the same makhani paneer and tandoori chicken that finds space in the menus of almost every restaurant in the city. Yet the experience to relish the same dishes at each one of them is different. The reason is not just the expertise of the chef but also the ambience that the place builds. The interior décor of the restaurant plays a major part in this.
One cannot deny that the food industry in the Capital is expanding on account of new restaurants coming up every now and then. The numbers might be staggering but what excites is the fact that most of the interior designers who do the décor are given a brief to present "Indian food in a new light".
"When we did the interiors for Farzi Café in Gurgaon, we drew our inspiration from a Parisian Bistro since the food is presented with a fusion," says Saheba Singh from This Is It Designs. Her company has done the interiors for a number of restaurants in the city including The Townhouse Cafe in Connaught Place, Zai in Greater Kailash II and Out Of The Box (OTB) in Hauz Khas Village.
Singh informs that she had to do certain woodwork for The Townhouse Cafe herself due to the intricacy involved in design. "The theme of the place is 'Gothic' so even the lighting had to be done in a way that the source is hidden," adds Singh.
The theme could change but the brief for the design agencies remains close to the food that the restaurant serves in order to face competition in a place like Delhi. An example would be the theme of 'Nostalgia' created at Desi Roots in Saket. "The props, details, every element is selected keeping in mind the theme," says Saurav Roy from Idea Spice – company that did the interiors for the restaurant.
"In Mumbai though, there is a large variety of both people and cuisines such as in Delhi, the quantum of the latter's ability to experiment with food is quite high," comments Roy making a Delhiite feel proud of the food culture of the city.
In addition, there are also few restaurants here who demarcate different areas for different purposes. "We were given the name 'Pamphilos' which literally means 'friends of all' with the brief to create an ambience real to the meaning – a place to hang out, meet and make friends," says Shirin Kaur, interior designer for Pamphilos Kitchen & Bar in Greater Kailash I.
The shell of this restaurant is more or less raw with concrete, brick, raw wood and plain old white paint. Yet its décor impresses and makes one ask the designer about the inspiration. "We wanted to create a spot for everyone to relate to. We had two floors to begin with. Now, think about a café transcending into a lounge as the sun sets. That's how we began.
We had the second floor turn into a day bar," explains Kaur.
Even Singh informs about the need for closed, as well as open seating that needs to be created for restaurants in Delhi. She says, "I was at Penthouse in GK I yesterday and saw people didn't mind sitting on the terrace even in the month of June!" Blame it on the different seasons of the city that challenge interior decorators but do glance at the toilets that are designed in an equally interesting manner when you go to a restaurant the next time.
