WASHINGTON D.C. – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life.

Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution."

A resolution sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, cites some of the singer's charitable acts and proclaims him an American legend, musical icon and world humanitarian.

Even before Pelosi's comments, some Democrats said privately they did not support the resolution and a divisive debate would hurt House efforts to muster the votes for priorities such as health care and climate change.

This was mostly a copy-cat recipe for T.G.I.Friday's Chicken Bruschetta Pasta ... but I tweaked it a bit ... Thank you for the advice here, it helped me improve this dish.


(top - Pasta and tomato mixture, bottom - reduced balsamic vinegar)

Bruschetta Pasta

Ingredients:
- 10 Fresh Basil Leaves (or about 7 - 10 teaspoons of Dried Basil)
- 1 lb angel hair pasta
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 c tomato sauce
- salt & black pepper (To Taste)
- 6-8 medium size roma tomatoes (can substitute with canned diced
tomatoes if needed)
- 2 Garlic Cloves, Sliced into Thin Coins
- 1 Cup of Balsamic Vinegar
- 4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil, divided
Optional:
- Parmesan Cheese
- Parsley
- 4 (4 oz) chicken breasts

Directions:
1. In a small or medium pot, pour in 1 cup of balsamic vinegar.
2. Warm and bring to a very slight simmer (do not boil).
3. Allow to cook until the vinegar reduced about 75%, creating a syrup (I did not watch the time closely but I think it was about an hour and a half. Remove from heat and set aside once it is done.
4. Take the tomatoes, core them, dice them and place them in a bowl.
5. Slice the 10 basil leaves into thin strips and place into the bowl (I used 7 teaspoons of dried basil instead).
6. Put 2 cloves of minced garlic (2 heaping teaspoons), 1/3 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper (adjust salt and pepper to taste) and 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil.
7. Mix very well and set aside for 2 hours.
2 hours later ...
8. Boil a large pot of water. Cook pasta according to box directions.
9. Heat a large skillet. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
10. Allow oil to heat about 20 seconds, then add the sliced garlic. Cook only about 45 seconds. DO NOT allow the garlic to brown (if it browns, toss it and start steps 9 & 10 over).
11. Pour in the tomato mixture and mix well with garlic and oil. Stir, Stir, Stir.
12. Add in about 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and bring to a boil.
13. Remove from heat.
14. Drain pasta and add to the tomato sauce mixture. Toss to coat pasta.
15. Plate your portion and drizzle, very easily, the balsamic reduction over the top. You don't need much.
16. Top the pasta with a little parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.

For those who eat meat ... While the pasta is cooking, take chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on a grill (or indoor grill like the George Foreman grills) for about 4 minutes on each side, creating the dark grill lines on each side. Cook until chicken is fully cooked. Slice at a 45 degree angle and serve on top of the pasta.


Verdict: This was DELICIOUS.

What do Rainn Wilson (”The Office”) and frequent Joss Whedon collaborator Nathan Fillion (”Serenity”) have to do with DC Comics? That’s a very good question — and it’s one I’m dying to know the answer to, now that Wilson reported that the pair were en route to a meeting with the comics publisher.

The actual text of the message, posted on Twitter somewhere around 3:00 PM EST today, was as follows: “@rainnwilson and @nathanfillion are about to go meet with DC COMICS! Could be some good sh– percolating…”

But what could that “good sh–” entail?



Warning: I feel some wild guesses on the horizon…  )

Justin Timberlake Screen Tests for Green Lantern?
Source:Ain't It Cool News
July 9, 2009


Ain't It Cool News is reporting an unconfirmed rumor that Justin Timberlake is being considered for director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern:

Got an unconfirmed rumor that at Leavesden Studios - there's been some Warner Bros. screen testing on GREEN LANTERN and that Justin Timberlake was suiting up for the test. That does not mean that JT is going to be Hal Jordan, but just that he's one of the guys that they've been seriously considering for the role of our Emerald Knight.

We're pretty sure that the movie will be shot in Sydney, Australia, however, so we're puzzled as to why anything would be going on at Leavesden Studios in the UK.

Either way, Warner Bros. Pictures is planning a June 17, 2011 release for the film, so we should start hearing some official casting announcements soon.

I don't even read green lantern, but even I know this probably won't end well if true.

ahh, might as well...

What is the exact meaning of English "debil"?
My friend, a professional translator told me that it is not the equivalent of the Russian "дебил", but many Russian translators translate debil as дебил so it is a kind of "popular mistake"
What is the meaning of debil? Is it a medical word? Can it be used to offend someone?
 
 
 

House Beautiful Magazine will be hosting the 2nd annual 'Kitchen Of The Year' at Rockefeller Center from July 20th to July 24th.

Showcased in the same location where the famous Christmas tree stands each year, the kitchen will give consumers an opportunity to experience, in person, the dream designer kitchen. The desire it to bring House Beautiful's pages to life with 1,000 square-feet of cutting-edge culinary design and an additional 1,000 square-feet of outdoor entertaining space.

This year's kitchen is designed by the great Robert Stilin and inspired by cooking celebrity and Food Network star Ina Garten, or 'Barefoot Contessa'. If you've seen her show you might be aware that Garten is brilliant at creating a comfortable, welcoming and beautiful home environment, in addition to amazing food.

“I always believe that the simplest things are the most elegant – both in food and in the kitchen,” says Garten.

You may or may not know that Ina Garten, star of Food Network's Barefoot Contessa, started her culinary career not to far up in the Hamptons. It was there that she opened her specialty food store, called The Barefoot Contessa, and started writing her library of five successful cookbooks. Ina is also currently a contributor to House Beautfiul with her monthly column "Ask the Barefoot Contessa".

While the kitchen itself will be a draw, I would recommend dropping by when House Beautiful is presenting “Tastes of Summer”. The event will offer visitors a sampling of delicious food and beverages for a nominal fee from some of New York City’s most renowned restaurants daily from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. from Tuesday, July 21, through Thursday, July 23. Participating restaurants include The Sea Grill, Morrell Wine Bar & Café, AJ Maxwell’s, Magnolia Bakery, Rock Center Café, and many more.

Lindsay Lohan and her fashion-line partner are hoping to create unforgettable TV and movie content with a new production company. Lohan and Kristi Kaylor, who runs Lohan's 6126 brand, named for Marilyn Monroe's birthday, have created Unforgettable Prods.

The duo are developing several projects, including a TV show called "Faux Real," described as "Entourage" for the fashion world.

There's also a game show involving dating, tentatively called "That's What Friends Are For" and a "docu-cause" TV show the pair will produce in conjunction with a charitable organisation.

Kaylor said they're also in the midst of optioning a couple of books -- one for film and the other for TV.

Before her career in fashion, Kaylor was senior vice president of Pacific Motion Pictures and had a producing deal with Longbow Prods. In 1999, she partnered with Jennifer Aniston for Voxxy, an online destination for girls that eventually was turned into a magazine catalogue and sold.

Lohan and Kaylor intend to weave digital media into everything they create at Unforgettable.

"We're taking a 360-degree approach," Kaylor said. "Lindsay is 23 years old, and she's so plugged in to mobile media."

Whitney Port's City sidekick, Erin Lucas, announced last week she won't be part of the second season of the reality series. "I decided to do something different," she told us this week at the launch party for Alizé's online reality series, Concrete and Cashmere (on which Lucas is a guest judge). "I have a project in the mix, but I want to get into more hosting. That's really what I love." She also admitted she hasn't spoken to Port in months, though she claims there's no hard feelings and she'd give Port a big hug if she ever saw her again. "We were [close], but things change," she said. "There was a falling out" — reality-TV gold. However, we spotted The City crew filming at a Gen-Art benefit two weeks ago, which Erin attended along with Whitney. And you know what? There was no hugging. "I wasn't filming [that night], I was just there," Lucas tried to explain. She said running into the old camera crews and co-stars was awkward. "But Sammy's still one of my best friends." So why'd she give it up? "It was just hard," she said. "It was a chapter in my life and it was nothing but positive. I'm glad I did it, but on to the next thing. I'm kind of a gypsy. I released a statement a couple of days ago, but this is the first interview with people asking me about it, so I don't know what to say." Life is hard when no one gives you a script.

 "A sad e-mail began circulating late last week announcing that 36-year-old designer Tara Subkoff has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. If not operated on, the tumor will be fatal in about two years. Tara, who launched label Imitation of Christ, will probably have the operation in August and recovery could take up to a year. Tara won't be able to work while she recovers, so her friends have banded together to organize an art benefit to help cover the remaining costs of the operation (eleven specialists are involved owing to the delicate nature of the tumor) and care needed afterward. They are looking for donations of artwork to be sold in a silent auction on Wednesday, July 15. The lot will include 200 pieces of Imitation of Christ couture from Tara's personal collection. Alternatively, you can just donate cash. Our hearts and thoughts are with Tara and her loved ones in this difficult time."

A-LIST stars spent the week in a local village shooting a top blockbuster.

Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell spend last week at Hammerwood Park filming their latest film, a contemporary crime drama.

London Boulevard has an all star cast including Anna Friel, Ray Winstone and Harry Potter star David Thewlis.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star and the Irish hearthrob filmed scenes at the 18th century house for the film which is due out in September 2010.

The film is based on a novel by Ken Bruen and follows a criminal, Colin Farrell, newly released from prison, who becomes involved with a reclusive young actress, Keira Knightley.


House owner David Pinnegar is something of an expert when it comes to hosting film crews and was un-phased at meeting the celebrities.

He said: "We've had pop videos shot here for Victoria Beckham, The Darkness and Mel C and we've had fashion shoots for Laura Ashley and they're going to be using the house for the location for their Autumn collection."

Mr Pinnegar said the film crew invited the whole village to the set to see what was going on.

"They created a lake and from what I've seen it's going to be well worth going to see. I was reading the script and seeing the shots through the camera, I think it's going to be very atmospheric and gripping," he said.

The house was derelict until 1982 before Mr Pinnegar and his family restored it and has been used for films ever since.

"The house is used partly because I know what I'm doing and I'm film friendly. It's a great location and it's a spectacular house," he added.

Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia on "The Brady Bunch," claims Eve Plumb, who played her sister Jan, is upset because McCormick claimed they had a lesbian affair on the set of the '70s sitcom.

McCormick, blogging this week on Fancast.com, said all six Brady "kids" were invited to re unite on the Oprah Winfrey show in September: "All of us said yes except for one person, Eve Plumb, who used to be my best friend but now apparently wants to distance herself from the show and, most troubling, from me ... I have no idea why, unless she's mad at the joke I made a few years ago that we'd had a lesbian love affair. I made the crack to be funny — and for shock value. I'm sorry if she took off ense."

McCormick "joked" about their sapphic sex last year just before her autobiography, "Here's the Story," was published. The "joke" made the book a best seller.

Plumb's agent, Mark Measures, downplayed any animosity: "No one from 'Oprah' called. We haven't turned down anything. There is no feud."

Britney Spears suddenly collapsed during a recent rehearsal — and a doctor was rushed to her side, it has been claimed.

The Toxic singer was apparently rehearsing new songs when she passed out as the dancers, as part of the routine, lifted her body while she lay sideways.

“She collapsed when the dancers went to put her back on her feet,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“She fell to the floor and landed on one of the dancer’s legs — and the dancer’s tennis shoe smacked Britney in the chest and on her face. It hit her chest with such a force that it caused a four-inch bruise.”

Britney apparently suffers from low blood sugar — a condition her father Jamie has been trying to keep secret, the Enquirer reports.

Although Spears, 27, is said to be physically strong, those close to the pop princess say she often doesn’t eat right or get enough rest.

“Her schedule has wreaked havoc on her body,” the source divulged.

Ryan Gosling is swapping acting for music and will release his debut album on October 6.

The 'Notebook' actor's band Dead Man's Bones - which he is in with friend Zach Shields - have spent two years working on the record, which is to be released on Anti Records.

The album features a children's choir called the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, which is comprised of kids aged five to 17.

Ryan has previously said of the project: "You know when you're a kid and you get crayons and papers and just draw whatever you want and it's just a bunch of messy lines, but to you it makes sense, and then they put it on the fridge?

"From that point on, you're always trying to get back on the fridge, you start drawing things that look like something, like, the more it looks like a horse, the more chance you have of getting it on the fridge. We wanted to get back to that place before we were trying to make the fridge. We wanted to work with people who hadn't been affected in that way yet."

Ryan, 28, plays several instruments in the group, including piano and guitar.
