Being Jewish
has negatively influenced Jon Stewart's career in comedy. "It's
tough for me, because usually I like to write my jokes on my foreskin,"
he says. "Without having that there, it makes it difficult."
But being
Jon Stewart isn't all that bad. On Oct. 11, the actor/comedian
will perform at the Bob Carpenter Center in his first appearance
at the University of Delaware.
Bob Carpenter Center?" he wonders out loud in a phone interview
with The Review. "To honor the great Bob Carpenter? Who's
Bob Carpenter?"
When told
the Bob Carpenter Center is not only a gymnasium but also a venue
for concerts, Stewart is a bit skeptical. "So it's [going
to be] a 10,000-person arena with 30 kids sitting there with Daily
Show T-shirts on," he says. "I'd like everybody
to spread out. That way we use the whole gymnasium, but only have
two people in each section."
performance at the university might be slightly different from
the stand-up he has done in the past. "It's going to be a
bawdy musical -lots of pantomime," he says.
Becoming serious,
Stewart speaks about what his act will actually entail. "You're
always working on new things," he says. "You're always
continuing to try and tweak your old things, and putting all that
together and hoping people enjoy themselves."
And enjoying
themselves they are. More than half a million people tune into
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Monday through Thursday
to see news presented with a sarcastic bite.
Stewart succeeded
Craig Kilborn as the host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show,
beginning in January 1999.
But not only
an anchorman for the highly-rated show, he also spends much of
his time writing and producing.
"I usually
get up around 5 - that's p.m," he says. "And it's usually
a cold blast of water in the face to sleep off last night's drunk.
And then I stumble in and start writing."
When talking
to Stewart, the punch lines come so quickly and easily it almost
seems effortless. Eventually, he does get around to answering
"I get
in around 10:30, leave at 8:30," he says.
So what does
a man who earns $1.5 million a year do with his spare time?
majority of my life is spent either here [at The Daily Show],"
he says, "or trying to figure out when the dog has to take
a crap, doing crossword puzzles, watching SportsCenter
- that sort of thing."
Not exactly the vida loca of a movie and TV star.
"Oh, the fantasy is there, isn't it?" he says. "Can't
you taste it? The good life."
Hardly an overnight success in show business, Stewart had to
work quite a few jobs before landing the plum role of hosting
the twisted news show.
"I got out of school and floated around a bit," he
says. "Did a bunch of crappy jobs, and thought, 'Wow, I suck
at everything!' "
After graduating from the College of William and Mary with a
psychology degree, Stewart didn't catapult directly into the spotlight.
"I'd always had a hankering to write and just decided one
day, "Why don't I just sell my car and go to New York?' "
he says. "And that's what I did. I was in the city for a
good nine months to a year before I had the balls to go up on
After appearing on HBO's Young Comedians Special and
Late Show with David Letterman, he was given his own late
night talk show. MTV's The Jon Stewart Show was born.
As for whether or not it was an entertaining show, Stewart has
his opinions.
"It wasn't particularly funny - not according to the Nielsens,"
he says. "There were days when I thought we were doing really
interesting, funny stuff, and there were other days when I thought
we just took an hour of people's time."
And less than a year after the show was born, it died.
Stewart didn't just sit there, however. He signed a development
deal with David Letterman's Worldwide Pants, the production company
that produces Late Show and The Late Late Show,
both for CBS.
Although nothing substantial came of the deal, Stewart did some
guest-hosting duties for The Late Late Show in 1998. But
other than that, he wasn't utilized.
Luckily, a deal with Miramax gave his career a boost.
Stewart signed on to appear in two films a year for Miramax,
most recently the films The Faculty and Playing By Heart.
As an actor and a comedian, Stewart doesn't seem to prefer acting
to comedy, or vice versa.
"I sort of get the sense that it's all the same thing, just
in different forms," he says, "I don't look at it as
that different. "I guess when you're doing this show or comedy,
there's more of a chance for spontaneity, and I always like that.
"But there's something to be said for spending 14 hours
in a trailer smoking cigarettes and saying the same line over
and over again."
The next movie on tap for Stewart, following his role in this
summer's Big Daddy, is The Adventures of Tom Thumb and
Thumbelina. The Miramax film is a children's musical, starring
the voices of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Elijah Wood. Stewart does
not, however, exercise his musical talent.
"I think it's an animated film," he says. "I'm
one of the moles. I didn't have to sing. I went in one day and
had to bang out a voiceover. I believe I played the skinny mole."
As for his favorite film, it was a tough decision to make.
"Oh, I'm going to have to go with - boy, there are so many
Police Academies, " he says.
If movies
and television weren't enough for the New Jersey native, he wrote
a book too.
His book, Naked Pictures of Famous People, is a collection
of humorous essays. He calls it a lousy Without Feathers,
alluding to Woody Allen's best-selling comedy book from the '70s.
"I very much like writing comedy," he says. "When
I wrote the book, I had many an agonizing night squeezing blood
from a stone. "But overall, the idea that I get to do this
for a living is mind-boggling to me."

For those of us who grew up in a flat place, learning to ride a bike meant developing a relationship with a machine. It was the device and us. Turns were just the way you looped from one street to another. Hills were just something to avoid because they required the ride up little interest on the way down considering the straight roads most of us live with.
Cycling has shown me the world. Introduced me to it in a way that nothing else possibly could. I know places flat and straight. I know places mountainous and thrilling. I know places hilly and intimate. When I was in my 20s, I was wowed by big mountains and the expanses they displayed. Today, those views, impressive as they are, can be overwhelming, a crowded party where I know few people.
I never understood agoraphobia until I had a chance to look out on a broad plain from up on the shoulder of a mountain. All that land. So much to explore. Too much. And in that, I became overwhelmed. It wasn't a fear; it was the anxiety of too much.
Today, I find refuge in the hidden valleys of Northern California. Like the hollers of Appalachia, there are remote folds that may contain watchspring singletrack, a water fall, an exposed shoulder that looks upon a river below. Each view carries the reward of the unique, where sameness seems as impossible a concept as exploring each of those undulations could take a lifetime, getting to know just one, yet another.
Stir in the whimsy of weather and suddenly each microvalley wraps itself in the shroud of mood. Not only can a clear July day differ from one soaked in rain during the winter, but fog sweeping in from the ocean can render the most familiar place foreign as family to an amnesiac.
That I should prefer a landscape rife with quirks, says something of how I love, that I want surprises, that the stalwart's schedule should strike me as a personal desert, as devoid of the need to variation as the straight road running past pasture. I've a need to explore, to encounter the unknown and to coax its secrets into view.
The self that reveled in the way a road changed the faster I went on it surrendered. Surrendered to the tick of time. Surrendered to a need for fresh interaction. I didn't exactly know what I sought at first. What I realize now is that I hunger for land that refects my own heart, a place untamed, where the wrinkles inform the route and where getting lost is how I find myself.

Lovely piece. My own preference is to simply walk into the wilderness. I like the sense of land and of place without the distraction of an activity. It is perhaps one reason why I am not a passionate mountain biker.
It's funny, Patrick. I definitely remember going well out of my way to avoid hills when I was a kid. My bike had three speeds (internal gearing) but still, it was about getting around for low cost! I lived in a small city that was fairly flat right near me but, as my perimeter began to grow – with or without parental consent/knowledge – I had to either cross the river (to more flat!) or go up the hill. A few years ago, I took my old self and my 2×9 Serotta back to the old neighborhood. How small it seemed. And the hills didn't seem that big either. But, I still found my fun.
Nowadays, I find myself on the bike. Even when I'm not looking for me…
Another great, thoughtful piece!
Thomas Oates
This is how I feel about the NW. It is where I feel at home on that "elemental level." I wither without it.
Lovely piece, indeed. It's a thrill to find new places and fall in love with them instantly.

text: This is about to become a travel blog for probably the next year or so. The first part of this journey is through old territory — by boat through British Columbia's Gulf Islands and Southern Vancouver Island — a relaxed way to begin an extended adventure. We spent a number of days, this time, at tiny Russell Island, at the mouth of Saltspring's Fulford Harbour. Once a homestead, the entire island is now a marine park. The 1905 vintage house still stands, as do the orchards. That part is behind us now and we're holed up waiting for weather in Comox, further north on Vancouver Island, the first time tied to a dock in over a month.

I promise you can do this too--it is so easy! The only thing I will say is that you will want to use craft scissors--smaller scissors with a very sharp tip. Mine came from Target, or you can get them from any craft store.
First, I took pictures of my boys staring into space. Then I just printed them on computer paper in a 4x6 format. I then taped that picture (top and bottom) onto a piece of plain white cardstock, and just started cutting around the edges, like so:
|Freaky! I *hate* this picture!
|A little better? Well, he does need a haircut.
When I was finished I had this:
You can see here that I fudged a little to create an eyelash for him which wasn't in the original picture due to the angle. But this boy has ridiculously long and beautiful eyelashes, and I love how they look in silhouettes I have seen, so I just was mindful of that and added it in when I was cutting.
I used spray-adhesive to attach the silhouettes to scrapbook paper, and framed 'em up! Speaking of frames, can I just brag on the steal I got on these for a sec? Got them on clearance at (again) Target:
|See the damage? I used wood filler and spray paint on them when I first brought them home and it's barely noticeably now. Too bad, I liked the green. But you can't go wrong with white, either.
So, I'm lovin' my little boys in silhouette!
Happy crafting, peeps!

It seems a lot more comfortable for Jews under Persians compared to Arabs, according to Roger Cohen:
The Middle East is an uncomfortable neighborhood for minorities, people whose very existence rebukes warring labels of religious and national identity. Yet perhaps 25,000 Jews live on in Iran, the largest such community, along with Turkey's, in the Muslim Middle East. There are more than a dozen synagogues in Tehran; here in Esfahan a handful caters to about 1,200 Jews, descendants of an almost 3,000-year-old community.
Over the decades since Israel's creation in 1948, and the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the number of Iranian Jews has dwindled from about 100,000. But the exodus has been far less complete than from Arab countries, where some 800,000 Jews resided when modern Israel came into being.
In Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Iraq — countries where more than 485,000 Jews lived before 1948 — fewer than 2,000 remain. The Arab Jew has perished. The Persian Jew has fared better.
Of course, Israel's unfinished cycle of wars has been with Arabs, not Persians, a fact that explains some of the discrepancy.
Still a mystery hovers over Iran's Jews. It's important to decide what's more significant: the annihilationist anti-Israel ranting, the Holocaust denial and other Iranian provocations — or the fact of a Jewish community living, working and worshipping in relative tranquillity.
Perhaps I have a bias toward facts over words, but I say the reality of Iranian civility toward Jews tells us more about Iran — its sophistication and culture — than all the inflammatory rhetoric.
That may be because I'm a Jew and have seldom been treated with such consistent warmth as in Iran. Or perhaps I was impressed that the fury over Gaza, trumpeted on posters and Iranian TV, never spilled over into insults or violence toward Jews. Or perhaps it's because I'm convinced the "Mad Mullah" caricature of Iran and likening of any compromise with it to Munich 1938 — a position popular in some American Jewish circles — is misleading and dangerous…
I asked Morris Motamed, once the Jewish member of the Majlis, if he felt he was used, an Iranian quisling. "I don't," he replied. "In fact I feel deep tolerance here toward Jews." He said "Death to Israel" chants bother him, but went on to criticize the "double standards" that allow Israel, Pakistan and India to have a nuclear bomb, but not Iran…
Mark C.
Damian adds: I can't help wondering, what would happen to Mr. Motamed if he did complain about the way the Jews of Iran were treated?

Don't be a short order cook this holiday season. Set out some of these easy and impressive dishes and everyone in the family will be happy -- especially you.
Flourless desserts . The most popular kids on the block these days as far as treats go. Of course this is nothing new. Gluten free flourless baking has been taking over our generation for quite awhile now but I wouldn't be myself if I wasn't late to the popular party.
I never knew why she picked me as a friend in junior high school in the early 1960s. All I cared about was make-up, clothes, boys, dates, weight and hairstyles. She cared nothing for these concerns.
This how-to breakdown of CREAMY oatmeal is super simple and you can play it up however you want as long as you stick to two of the basics: Milk and Vanilla Yogurt. These are essentials to make your oatmeal the dreamiest creamiest breakfast bowl.
One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is oatmeal, which is no wonder I've come up with a variety of ways to make
You deserve a cozy bowl of steel cut oats studded with vanilla beans, maple syrup and cinnamon spice. Superwoman can't save the world without the proper fuel ya know?
A few ingredients can make your boring old breakfast much more decadent.

Breakfast is my favorite meal, hands down!
If you're not a fan of coconut, you'll probably argue that I went over the top.
Forget Little Debbie -- fresh, homemade oatmeal cream pies are where it's at.
Oatmeal breakfast bars packed with protein, peanut butter and chocolate. What more could you want in breakfast, really?
It's cold outside: crank up the oven and wake your family with the smell of something good! There's nothing quite like the smell of warm, sticky cinnamon buns on a blustery winter morning.
These comforting breakfast treats are like a cross between scones and oatmeal cookies: buttery and tender on the inside, crisp and craggy on the outside, and chockfull of oats, pecans and currants.
As much as we love spreading holiday cheer, our shopping list seems to have gotten a little bit out of control. Instead of buying gift cards or cute holiday mugs, we've decided to take the handmade route for quite a few people on our list.
Protein alert!

Michael Pickin, the dedication it takes to be British Advanced National Aerobatic Champion
Michael Pickin, British Advanced National Aerobatic Champion.
At the age of twenty three Michael Pickin is the youngest unlimited competition and air show aerobatic pilot in the UK and possibly Europe. Michael was inspired to become a pilot by his Father, who took him flying from a young age.
In 2006, for his sixteenth birthday, Michael flew solo in four different aircraft types and a glider. Later, in 2007, Michael gained his Private Pilot's Licence and became the youngest person ever to receive a CAA Display Authorisation to display at public air shows. Following which he completed his Commercial Pilot's Licence and commenced work for a major airline.
During his time as a pilot Michael has achieved top placements in many competitions throughout the world.
In 2013 Michael was the youngest person ever to enter the British Advanced National Aerobatic Championships and be awarded a place on the British National Team, in addition to this he achieved the following during 2014;
• Advanced British National Aerobatic Champion.
• Winner of the Don Henry Trophy at Advanced Level.
• Winner of the Nathanial Alony Trophy at Unlimited Level.
• Runner-up in the David Perrin Unlimited Freestyle Event, where he was the youngest person in the UK ever to compete at unlimited level – winning the event.
Michael says: "Ever since I first took to the skies and experienced the magic of flight it has been the sole focus throughout my life. At the age of fourteen I entered and won my first aerobatic competition giving me the drive and determination to succeed."
For someone who has achieved so much at such at young age Michael is incredibly grounded, his sights set firmly on success in the future.
We will bring you updates on Michael's continued preparations and success throughout 2016…..Good luck Michael!

Hello Chris,
It is a very pretty church. It was built just in the nick of time before Romania became a Soviet satellite state. I notice a slight tilt (for some reason, my eyes are quite observant of tilts). I have attempted a correction in the WS.

A lesser known view of Sighișoara.

Are you buying a new phone? Does the iPhone X allure you?
Many people want to buy an iPhone. The only reason most of the people who want to buy, but don't buy an iPhone, is because it's costly, but not anymore. Apple unveiled the low-cost iPhone SE with internals of iPhone 6s and body of the iconic iPhone 5s in 2016 and it's still the most powerful 4 inch phone in the market today.
Does iPhone SE make sense in 2018? Well, maybe, keep reading to find out.
Dear Reader,
Wash your hands with soap before touching your face. Stay indoors. Isolate. Stay safe.
It depends on the kind of usage you have and whether you're willing to sacrifice screen estate for quality and user experience. It also depends on how big your hands are.
If you have small hands like the famous Pepper Pots, you should get the iPhone SE. Case closed. If not, then continue reading.
Here's a video from Simple Alpaca "The iPhone SE is the most important iPhone in 2018"
This isn't the best iPhone though, iPhone 10 (X) is. Behind the hefty price of $1000+ lies a beautiful work of art, fine crafted with the help of cutting edge technology whose value is seen and understood only by the greatest of people…
Fine, coming to the point. Have you noticed how, many companies have started using notches on their new phones. These are the companies who wait for a market leader like Apple or Samsung to make something popular and then, they include these tested, working features on their phones.
Among many such features is the edge to edge display, with or without a notch. But, have you noticed a difference in the implementation of these displays? They manage to make the top-notch smaller but none of them has managed to get rid of the bottom chin like the iPhone X.
The connector used to join the display to the motherboard is usually placed at the bottom, that's why every company is having a hard time getting rid of the bottom chin. Then, how did Apple do it? Well, they folded the flexible OLED display at the bottom edge by 180° and there they placed the connector, thereby creating a chinless display. So the display of the iPhone X doesn't end at the bottom, it folds into itself.
Illustration below:
Image from Apple's iPhone X illustrative video "iPhone X — Introducing iPhone X — Apple"
It's these small details that captures the attention of perfectionists, or iPhone buying perfectionists.
Another feature in the iPhone X which people underrate is the Face ID. While it may not be as accurate as a fingerprint sensor, it is accurate enough to be used daily and animojis show exactly that. Whatever the reason for ditching the fingerprint sensor might be, if you think that it's impossible for face ID to replace the fingerprint sensor in the future you're mistaken. Face ID is not limited by light, it works in the dark too. Read more about it from the BGR's post "You might be using Face ID wrong – here's how you fix it"
So, if you're confused about buying a new phone right now, but you have the budget of an iPhone X, go ahead and buy it, you'll not regret. Don't get distracted by Samsung Galaxy S9 plus or Google Pixel 2 XL, buy the iPhone X.
I highly recommend buying the 256GB variant as 64GB fills up after a year of usage.
Here, let me make it easier for you.
256 GB (Highly recommended):
64GB (Not recommended):
Still not convinced? Got distracted?
Alright, Here's the 3rd best option after iPhone X 256GB and iPhone X 64GB:
Samsung is the market leader in terms of android phone sales. Back in 2013, I used to hate it for it's plastic body and cartoonish UI. When time came to buy a flagship, I bought the Sony Xperia Z1 over the Galaxy Note 3. Reason? premium feel, better UI, better build quality and waterproof(very rare back then). Fast forward 5 years and you have the Galaxy S9+. Who would have thought that the company which made the Galaxy Note 3 would make something like the Galaxy S9 and S9+, It's soooooooo much better!
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus 128GB and 64GB respectively(only recommended if you hate Apple and love Samsung)
More distractions?
Google entered the smartphone business with it's first nexus phone in January 2010. Then, android was very different from what it is now. The Android community greatly benefited from open source nature of Android which allowed it to grow beyond Google and OEMs, at XDA. Thanks to this community, old, but popular android phones could still run the latest Android version through Custom ROMs for several years after the manufacturers dropped their support. It was beneficial for consumers as they could use their phones for longer periods of time without losing latest features or security patches.
Many of the features we see on the stock Android today were first baked by the folks at XDA. Today, stock android is the preferred android ROM, and which other phone can give you its experience better than the Pixel 2 XL?
Here's Google Pixel 2 XL for the rescue(only recommended if you hate both, Apple and Samsung)
Do you like the Apple's ecosystem more than Google's but your pockets are shallow?
Well, there are some bad iPhones from which you should stay away because they don't offer the best bang for your buck and those phones are the 7 and 8 series iPhones. What should you buy instead? An iPhone 6s or an iPhone 6s Plus if you prefer a large screen, but if you want best value for money iPhone, then go with the iPhone SE.
Did you buy any of the phones from above?
Already have one of the phones mentioned above?
