Budget entertaining: A make-your-own pizza party
The party plan: Everyone can construct pizzas simultaneously, if you have enough space and baking sheets. If not, stagger guests at a central workstation, preparing one or two pizzas at a time while other guests watch, talk or play games. Mr. Silva recommends having a stash of spare snacks, drinks and ingredients in case a guest forgets to bring a contribution. "You can always freeze the dough later, or chuck the vegetables," he says. But if you run out of food, your party's over. What guests should bring: It's like a potluck, but with a savvier plan. You provide the pizza basics – crust, sauce and cheese. Let your guests supply the rest: -Veggie and meat toppings. -Baking sheets – the flat ones with a single lip on one end.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Soulja Boy Disses GZA, Jay, Ye? Lil' Scrappy's New ...
Hip-Hop hasn't been too kind to Lil' Scrappy in the last couple of years. Well, that's got nothing to do with the ladies. I thought Scrappy Doo and Diamond were rock solid, but it would appear that they aren't! Now, we know appearances can be deceiving, but let me explain. AllHipHop.com just got a new columnist, a an actress who is talking about being a fledgling actress. Her name is Noree Victoria. She is very pretty too. Here is her cute pic.
So, from what I understand (and am late on) is that Scrappy's Baby Momma got into a fight with Diamond. After that, Scrappy ended it with Diamond, who used to rap with Crime Mob. Now, you can't write/read a rumor about the girl and not read her column.
Sports Columnists
If football is the ultimate game of physical and mental toughness, Petrino turned out to be the ultimate mushhead. This is the NFL. This is Big Boy football. The Falcons already have too many players who stomp their feet and hold their breath. The last thing they needed was a coach who did the same thing. Petrino said the Falcons were his dream job. He said he wanted to work for Blank and Rich McKay. He said he wanted one season to see what he could do with Vick. Things didn't go as planned. Obviously. Petrino didn't win. That wasn't really his fault, given circumstances. But there were so many warning signs about how he handled situations, you wondered how he would function in the NFL environment, even without the extreme issues. He rarely communicated with his players.
What's in a med school's name? Maybe $150 mil
For the University's Medical School to change its name, it could cost more than $100 million. At a recent faculty meeting, Medical School Dean Deborah Powell addressed the issue of how much the naming rights of the Medical School are worth during discussion of school funding. Her answer: an estimated $150 million. "I think we've said, and we've always said, that philanthropy is one of the very important things that can build research programs," she said. There aren't current plans to find a specific donor, nor is the school working on offering naming rights. Powell said she was only addressing a question on how much the school's name would cost, not whether the school is interested in offering the rights. However, a big donor could provide relief to the school. Powell said the Medical School is not in debt, but that it has been spending from reserves.

Tetris Splash Review
Tetris has seen so many variations of itself that it can almost be called a template at this point. Its humble beginnings on the Gameboy has spawned a legion of sequels from 3D variations to new games featuring popular mascots. It's no surprise, though, because its simplistic gameplay is both addicting and fun and appeals to the masses like no other game. Tetris Splash literally changes nothing from the original, but adds a soothing aquarium aesthetic and a remixed version of the orginal theme that begs the gamer to simply relax. If you're looking for new game modes then you'll be disappointed to learn there are only two modes: Marathon and 40 Line. Marathon Mode is the classic Tetris everyone knows and loves. Players keep fitting pieces together trying to keep the blocks from reaching the top of the board.
