alteuropäisch
Old European ( alteuropäisch ) is the term used by Hans Krahe (1964) for the language of the oldest reconstructed stratum of European hydronymy (river names) in Central and Western Europe. The character of these river names is pre-Germanic and pre-Celtic and dated by Krahe to the 2nd millennium BC. German linguist Theo Vennemann has suggested that the language of the old European hydronyms was agglutinative and preindoeuropean, however this stands in contrast to the more generally accepted view that the hydronyms are of Indo-European origin and Theo Vennemann's theory has been criticised as being seriously flawed.

Effy (first my favorite character and I vaguely remember you thought she was awesome too?) from Skins will be starring as Catherine in a new version of Wuthering Heights which just premiered at Venice. AMAZING? Couldn't have planned it better myself? Plus, Heathcliff is FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER BEING PLAYED BY A BLACK ACTOR. They better not fuck this one up. PS, Natalie Portman was originally cast to play the part but dropped out in May. Major thanks to Wikipedia.
MARCO CANORA
http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2011/09/changing_tastes_dining_in_the.html See especially the following paragraph about restaurants in Tribeca: "The neighborhood's latest superstar chef isn't Bouley, or even Paul Liebrandt, whose icy, polished gem of a restaurant, Corton , is Tribeca’s closest thing these days to an old-fashioned, haute cuisine culinary destination. It’s arguably Marc Forgione, who last year was named a TV Iron Chef by the Food Network. (Incidentally, he won the title by beating Marco Canora, whose own modestly priced Terroir Tribeca is the wine bar of choice among my trendy downtown friends.) Forgione’s eponymous and Michelin-starred restaurant on Reade specializes in new age comfort dishes like "BLT Ravioli," suckling pig, and a "Fudge Brownie" dessert garnished with Nutella and cacao marshmallows."
