How many Real Housewives have divorced? Details of failed ...

The Real Housewives of all the cities have offered up their lives to the public, and while sometimes the situations are ?set-up? the drama is often all too real with real life consequences. The Huffington Post broke up some of these life-changing events by the numbers, focusing on bankruptcies, divorces, and businesses in an infographic.

We?re taking their chart a step further, providing a little extra information about each one. This post, we?re listing the divorces. We?ll have separate posts for businesses and bankruptcies.

It?s hard enough to stay together when the details of your life aren?t of national concern, so it?s no surprise that many marriages have been strained after appearing on the show. Of course, most of the relationships showed signs of trouble anyway were probably headed for divorce with or without cameras. In some cases the reality fame might have speeded things along, but that?s just one of those things you?ll never know.

The Huffington Post says 25% of the Real Housewives have gotten divorced. They included Brandi Glanville on the list, she we?ve included her below, but we don?t know if she necessarily counts as she got a divorce before she joined the cast.

Here?s a rundown:

Mary Amons, RHODC ? married 26 years to husband Rich Ammons, filed April 2012. They have five children: Lolly, Ryan, Alexandra, Meghan and Matt.

Taylor Armstrong, RHoBH- Taylor filed for divorce, citing abuse claims, but was still legally married to Russell when he took his own life August, 2011. Taylor and Russell had one child together: Kennedy.

Tamra Barney, RHOC ? Divorced Simon Barney in 2010 after 11 years, and is now engaged to Eddie Judge. Simon and Tamra have three children together: Sidney, Spencer, and Sophia. Tamra also has a 25-year-old son Ryan from another marriage.

Lynne Curtin, RHOC ? Lynne filed for divorce December 2012, after being married for 22 years to Frank Curtin. She wanted to file in January of 2012 after they separated, but waited almost 12 months. They were under a lot of financial strain, some of which was documented while they wer still cast-members of the show. Frank made a statement that he still loved his wife, but that ?She?s just not herself right now? due to their financial stress. The couple have two children: Raquel and Alexa.

LuAnn de Lesseps, RHONY ? LuAnn was married to Count Alexandre de Lesseps for 16 years before divorcing in 2009 after he ran away with an Ethiopian Princess. LuAnn is now dating a French wine distributor named Jacques Azoulay. They are reportedly still together dispute a cheating scandal storyline last season. They have two children: Victoria and Noel.

Bethenny Frankel, RHONY and spin-off show ? Bethenny Frankel chronicled dating, getting pregnant by, and marrying Jason Hoppy on Real Housewives of New York, and her resulting spin-off shows Bethenny?s Getting Married? and Bethenny Ever After. The last season of Bethenny Ever After involved marital problems with Bethenny and Jason. They had one on-camera fight, and Bethenny told her therapist about many private fights at home. They were married March 28, 2010, and Bethenny filed for divorce in January 2013. Jason filed papers with the same requests as Bethenny including full custody of their daughter Bryn, and full use of the home they once shared.

Brandi Glanville, RHOBH Brandi?s divorce from Eddie Cibrian, her husband of nine years, happened before she was cast on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but it was a very public split because Eddie cheated with LeAnn Rimes, who he married after divorcing Brandi. They were married in 2001, and divorce was finalized September 2010. They have joint custody of their two sons Mason Edward and Jake Austin. Click here to see a timeline of Brandi and Eddie?s marriage, and Brandi?s ongoing feud with LeAnn.

Camille Grammer, RHOBH Shortly after filming began on the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Camille and husband of 13 years Kelsey Grammer divorced. It was revealed that he was in love with Kayte Walsh, a flight attendant. Kayte suffered a miscarriage, but did have a baby with Kelsey after they married. Kelsey has since said that he ?gave? Camille Real Housewives because he thought he owed her fame.

Vicki Gunvalson, RHOC ? Vicki was married to Donn Gunvalson for about 16 years before she filed for divorce in October 2010. Donn has been a father figure to Vici?s two children from a previous marriage, Michael and daughter Briana Wolfsmith. Donn is now fighting prostate cancer, and Vicki has moved on to dating Brooks Ayers. They briefly split in late 2012, but were reunited for New Year?s Eve.

Jeana Keough, RHOC ? Former Real Housewives of OC castmember Jeana Keough went through a separation with her husband Matt Keough, a former major league baseball player, on camera. Even though they split, Matt still lived in the house, and as of 2013 it looks like the divorce has still not been finalized. Matt has struggled with numerous legal issues due to a problem with binge drinking. They have three children together: Shane, Kara and Colton.

NeNe Leakes, RHOA NeNe Leakes? divorce from husband Gregg has long been speculated as a potential fake storyline to help ramp up her drama on the show. Regardless of how genuine the split was (Gregg got caught throwing Nene some shade on the radio in the middle of their break-up,) they are now officially back together and getting married again. They have one biological son together, Brentt, and Greg has been a father figure for NeNe?s son Bryson from another relationship. Bryson has given NeNe a granddaughter Bri?asia, who NeNe refers to as her ?glambaby? on the show.

Adrienne Maloof, RHOBH Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif decided to get divorced July 2012, and allegations flew for a while until they came to an amicable decision. They have three sons together: Gavin, Colin and Christian. Adrienne is now dating Rod Stewart?s son Sean.

Catherine Ommaney, RHODC In June, 2010 Cat Ommaney split with husband Charles Ommaney,a photojournalist working at the White House at the time. The paired married in 2008, and have no children together, though Cat had two daughters from a previous marriage. In December, 2012 Cat gave birth to her third daughter, Zara Isabella. This is definitely one case where the show had a major impact on the divorce. After the show aired, Charles Ommaney? new-found fame cost him his job, and possibly his ability to get other work because it was hard for him to get good shots when people recognized him. He moved to Miami and told The NY Times that he regretted doing the show.

Michaele Salahi, RHODC Michaele and Tareq Salahi, known as the ?White House Crashers? because they attended a State Dinner without an invitation, were married in 2003, and divorced in 2011 after Michaele ran off with Journey guitarist Neal Schon. They don?t have any children together. This pair have been involved in a number of shenanigans before and after they were famous, you can (partially) catch up on those here.

DeShawn Snow, RHOA ? DeShawn was on the first season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she was not the most memorable cast member of the franchise (her most memorable moment was hiring a crew of house staff to rival Downton Abbey when she didn?t even know where her husband was gonna get his next gig.) DeShawn and husband Eric Snow split in May of 2010 after it was discovered that he had a pregnant mistress. DeShawn and Eric have three kids, and DeShawn has since dropped 30 pounds and written a bunch of books.

?Stacie Scott Turner, RHODC ? Stacie Scott Turner was married to her business consultant Jason Turner for 14 years before splitting February 2012. They have two children together.

?Lisa Wu, RHOA Lisa Wu appeared on early seasons of Real Housewives of Atlanta with her husband Ed (real name Edgerton) Hartwell, who she married in 2005. By 2010, there were already whispers of a split, and Ed finally filed for divorce August, 2011. Lisa Wu, no longer a RH cast-member, is now trying to start up an acting career and launch a lip gloss line. She and Ed have one child Ed. Jr.

Men among prediluvian Beasts

?No subject has lately excited more curiosity and general interest among geologists and the public than the question of the Antiquity of the Human Race?[]?
Lyell 1863

The debate over the age of the earth generated an even more intriguing question: how old is humankind? Written records date back some thousands of years, but geological evidence and the fossil record show us that earth must be millions of years old. Some authors tried to reconcile this discrepancy by assuming a succession of worlds, each destroyed by a global catastrophe. Therefore the ?age or reptiles? could be very ancient, the ice age mammals more recent and the final catastrophe, creating the human world, happened probably only some thousands of years ago. This succession of worlds seemed to be in accordance both with the geological record as with the biblical chronology.
Therefore the discovery of stone tools made by humans in layers also containing fossils of extinct animals ? and therefore inhabitants of a world older than the supposed biblical deluge ? was meet with incredulity.

In 1837 the French physician Casimir Picard (1806-1841) excavated various fossil sites near his hometown of Abbeville, where he recovered stone tools and bones of antediluvian beasts. He published his discoveries in 1838-1840, just shortly before his death. Another amateur ? Jacques Boucher de Perthes (1788-1868) ? continued Picard?s work and discovered the jaw of a fossil elephant near a man-made flint-axe.
Most authors dismissed these discoveries arguing that this association was the result of taphonomic processes, as bones and tools became mixed together by agents like water, animals or even modern humans. Some authors even considered all the discovered human fossils as fakes.
The most compelling evidence to support the antiquity of man was collected in 1858 during excavations in Windmill Hill Cave near the city of Brixham (Devonshire, England) by William Pengelly (1812-1894), a self-educated archaeologist. The cave was found untouched, the entrance sealed off by debris and stalagmites, proof that no living thing had entered the cave for thousands of years. Most important, the excavations were done by geologists, following the principles of the young science of stratigraphy.

Every uncovered layer of the floor of the cave was carefully mapped and the location of the fossils (bones of elephant, lion, bear and reindeer) and stone tools registered.

In the same period similar discoveries were made in France. In 1867, during the universal exposition in Paris , ?douard Lartet (1801-1871), a French lawyer, presented stone tools found in sediments and caves of the valley of the V?z?re. The most intriguing artifacts were bones with engravings of ice age animals ? evidence that prehistoric men meet these animals.

Fig.1. Ancient rock carving, collection of the museum in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, valley of the V?z?re.

Finally in 1861, influenced by Charles Darwin?s explanation of the natural origin of all species on earth (including humans), eminent geologist Charles Lyell will publish ?The Geological Evidence of the Antiquity of Man?[]? and establish the ancient origin of humankind as scientific fact.

Hotel Transylvania Blu-ray + DVD Review

Kidzworld checks out the monster animated comedy Hotel Transylvania. Should you take it home?

By: Lynn Barker

Count Dracula as a doting dad? Yep, to a ?teen? daughter Mavis who is 118 and more than ready to leave their home; a vacation hotel for monsters!

Story Goes: After his wife died, Count Dracula (voice of Adam Sandler) built Hotel Transylvania, a resort for monsters where they can escape persecution by evil humans. Problem is daughter Mavis (voice of Selena Gomez) is turning 18 (well 118) and feels more trapped than safe. She dreams of exotic lands and people her age.

At Mavis?s big birthday bash where everyone from Frankenstein to the Wolf Man has gathered, a hapless young hiking human named Johnny (voice of Andy Samberg) stumbles in and it?s love at first sight for him and Mavis. Disguised as Frankenstein?s cousin, Johnny impresses the whole gang with music and fun. Drac is determined to get rid of the lad before Mavis runs away with him.?

Special Features: Goodnight Mr. Foot is a cute animated short film featuring Bigfoot?s attempt to get some rest as a hotel guest while a bumbling witch/housekeeper keeps accidentally waking him. Quite fun but very short.

Deleted Scenes are presented in both semi-finished animation and storyboards. One series deals with how Dracula met and courted Mavis?s mom Martha. This is very sweet and must have been cut for time. Another deleted scene is a fun rap called ?Vampire Girls? that is worth a listen and maybe a dance.

In Meet the Staff and Guests: Voicing Hotel Transylvania, we get to see all the major voice actors recording their voices and this is always fun. The producer talks about what certain actors brought to each character. We learn that Adam brought his kids into the booth with him for inspiration and that Selena recorded for hours without a break. It?s great to see this excellent voice cast at work!

Making the Hotel focuses on developing the story and putting the project together. Interesting.

Progression Reels cover every aspect of doing the animation for the movie. In voice-over, an animator takes you through hand drawn vs. 3D computer animation, using ?motion blur? to indicate fast movements and other cool ?tricks?. You learn about lighting and painting the backgrounds and that a team of animators were sent to the actual Transylvania to get the ?look? of the movie right. A very comprehensive ?making-of? featurette.

Music Video ? ?Problem (Monster Remix)? features Becky G. and guests Will.i.am. This is really catchy and fun to dance to.

Filmmakers? Commentary is the Director, Producer and Visual Effects Supervisor talking about making the film both funny and scary and balancing the two. Lots of tech info and tidbits on the film?s look.? More techy for older kids and teens.

Wrapping Up:? Hotel Transylvania is a cute, if ?nothing new? film. It?s predictable and maybe too ?silly? at times but still fun enough and worth collecting. The extras on this Blu-ray/DVD set cover just about everything from the ?look? of the movie to the actors voicing the roles. Alone, the movie would get 3 stars but with the extras on this set, we?ll go 4.

Cool socks, Chicago pride and Pop Rocks at the UFC on Fox 6 weigh-ins

CHICAGO -- The UFC on Fox 6 weigh-ins featured a large, raucous, possibly liquored up crowd of Chicago fight fans, plenty of cool socks, and every fighter making weight. The only fighter who came close to not making weight was Clay Guida. He walked to the scale wearing a custom shirt with the Chicago flag on it and a Chicago flag wristband. He jumped on the scale and was 147, too heavy for featherweight in his first fight at that weight class. He then took off his Chicago Bulls socks and jewelry, and made weight. The only other bit of drama was some jawing between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Glover Teixiera.

Read on for a complete list of weights and more pictures from the weigh-in.

MAIN CARD (FOX, 8 p.m. ET)
? Champ Demetrious Johnson (125) vs. John Dodson (124)
? Quinton Jackson (204) vs. Glover Teixeira (206)
? Donald Cerrone (155) vs. Anthony Pettis (155)
? Erik Koch (145) vs. Ricardo Lamas (145)
PRELIMINARY CARD (FX, 5 p.m. ET)
? T.J. Grant (155) vs. Matt Wiman (156)
? Clay Guida (146) vs. Hatsu Hioki (146)
? Pascal Krauss (171) vs. Mike Stumpf (170)
? Ryan Bader (205) vs. Vladimir Matyushenko (205)
? Shawn Jordan (251) vs. Mike Russow (256)
? Rafael Natal (185) vs. Sean Spencer (186)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook, 4:30 p.m. ET)
? David Mitchell (171) vs. Simeon Thoresen (171)

At left, Clay Guida and his Chicago Bulls socks. Donald Cerrone's cowboy boots and Superman socks are at right.

Guida's family had their guy's head on a stick and Guida buttons at weigh-ins. They were loud and supportive of Guida on Thursday, so you can bet they'll be out in numbers at the fights Saturday.

Dodson had Pop Rocks as his post weigh-in snack.

Thanks to Combat Lifestyle for the pictures.

Recipe: Winter Pasta with Cabbage | Good Food

This weekend on the Market Report, Laura Avery interviews Amelia Saltsman, author of the Santa Monica Farmer?s Market Cookbook. She suggests this heart-warming and budget friendly pasta that utilizes winter cabbage. When selecting cabbage at the market Amelia looks for heads that are heavy for their size. She likes either Savoy cabbage or heirloom Wakefield Jersey cabbage for this preparation. The key is cutting the leaves very thin so they melt into a creamy sauce. You can easily make this vegetarian by taking out the bacon and using vegetable stock or water.

Winter Pasta with Cabbage and Bacon or Not

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Choose cabbages that are heavy for their size. Common heading cabbage, bumpy-leafed Savoy cabbage, and cone-shaped heirloom Wakefield Jersey cabbage are all good choices for this cozy winter pasta meal. Cured or smoked pork pairs well with cabbage, but you can skip it for a satisfying vegetarian dish. This topping is also delicious over polenta or other cooked grains.

?

1 2-pound green cabbage

? to ? pound diced pancetta, slab bacon, or ham

1 onion, chopped, OR?1 bunch green garlic, cut crosswise into small pieces

1/2 to 1 cup stock or water

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

? pound pasta, such as garganelli or penne

? cup or so freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

?

Quarter and core the cabbage. Shred the cabbage as you would for coleslaw. If desired, cook the cabbage in boiling salted water for 3 minutes and drain. (This will help it melt faster in the next step, and will also remove any sharp ?cabbage-y? flavors, which really shouldn?t be an issue at this time of the year and if your cabbage is very fresh.)

?

In a wide pot large enough to hold all the ingredients, brown the pork product of your choice in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat to a bowl. Pour off excess fat if you?ve got more than a tablespoon or two in the pot. Add onion or green garlic and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to scrape up any brown bits. Stir in cabbage and ? cup stock or water. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the cabbage reaches desired tenderness, about 20 minutes for tender but holding its shape and about 45 minutes to almost dissolving. Stir occasionally during cooking time, reducing heat and adding stock or water as needed if the mixture starts to stick. Return meat to the pot.

?

Cook pasta in generously salted boiling water. Drain noodles, reserving about half a cup of starchy pasta cooking water. Add noodles and a little of the pasta water to the sauce and cook over medium heat to thicken and blend flavors. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

? 2013, Amelia Saltsman.

Quantum communication: Each photon counts

Jan. 25, 2013 ? Ultrafast, efficient, and reliable single-photon detectors are among the most sought-after components in photonics and quantum communication, which have not yet reached maturity for practical application. Physicist Dr. Wolfram Pernice of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in cooperation with colleagues at Yale University, Boston University, and Moscow State Pedagogical University, achieved the decisive breakthrough by integrating single-photon detectors with nanophotonic chips. The detector combines near-unity detection efficiency with high timing resolution and has a very low error rate.

The results have been published by Nature Communications.

Without reliable detection of single photons, it is impossible to make real use of the latest advances in optical data transmission or quantum computation; it is like having no analog-digital converter in a conventional computer to determine whether the applied voltage stands for 0 or 1. Although a number of different single-photon detector models have been developed over the past few years, thus far, none have provided satisfactory performance.

Several new ideas and advanced developments went into the prototype developed within the "Integrated Quantum Photonics" project at the DFG Center of Functional Nanostructures (CFN). The new single-photon detector, tested in the telecommunications wavelength range, achieves a previously unattained detection efficiency of 91%.

The detector was realized by fabricating superconducting nanowires directly on top of a nanophotonic waveguide. This geometry can be compared to a tube that conducts light, around which a wire in a superconducting state is wound and, as such, has no electric resistivity. The nanometer-sized wire made of niobium nitride absorbs photons that propagate along the waveguide. When a photon is absorbed, superconductivity is lost, which is detected as an electric signal. The longer the tube, the higher is the detection probability. The lengths involved are in the micrometer range.

A special feature of the detector is its direct installation on the chip, which allows for it to be replicated at random. The single-photon detectors built thus far were stand-alone units, which were connected to chips with optical fibers. Arrangements of that type suffer from photons being lost in the fiber connection or being absorbed in other ways. These loss channels do not exist in the detector that is now fully embedded in a silicon photonic circuit. In addition to high detection efficiency, this gives rise to a remarkably low dark count rate. Dark counts arise when a photon is detected erroneously: for instance, because of a spontaneous emission, an alpha particle, or a spurious field. The new design also provides ultrashort timing jitter of 18 picoseconds, which is 18 times 10-12 seconds.

The novel solution also makes it possible to integrate several hundreds of these detectors on a single chip. This is a basic precondition for future use in optical quantum computers.

The detector demonstrated in this study was designed to work at wavelengths in the Telekom bandwidth. The same detector architecture can also be used for wavelengths in the range of visible light. This would allow the principle to be employed in analyses of all structures that emit little light, i.e., photons, such as single molecules or bacteria. ?
