| Model of Queens - Marilynn Soto
Marilynn Soto
Home: Woodhaven Age: 39 Height: 5’9" Weight: 140 lbs. Stats: 36-26-29 NYPhotoByNick@aol.com Marilynn related a funny story from “The Cowboy Way” set. “It was me, Keifer Sutherland, Luis Guzman and Woody Harrelson,” Marilynn recalled. “We were playing pool in-between shoots, and [Harrelson] said, ‘Let’s play 8, and in the next round, whoever’s the winner will get taken out to dinner.’ We were getting close, because I’m really good at pool, and he knew he was going to lose, and they had to call us back to the set. We never got to finish the game otherwise I’d be collecting on that dinner.” Marilynn has a 7-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter. She’s a paralegal at a corporate law firm and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do that loves spending time with her family. “My mom’s older now, so these years are important to me,” she said. Though she was raised in East New York, Soto has lived in Woodhaven for the past 15 years. She has found comfort in her neighborhood and adopted borough. “It’s quiet, serene,” Marilynn said. “Everyone’s friendly, everyone knows everyone. It seems like a very small community within a big part of Queens. It’s safe for my son and that’s important. I’ve always loved Queens; always going to be a Queens gal.” |

| Hebrew Liu
From “Gatecrasher,” the incomparable, highly reputable, ever ethically responsible “Daily News” gossip column penned by Ben Widdicombe, comes “news” that Jackson Heights native Lucy Liu was doing a little light reading on the New York set of a forthcoming film.
Apparently she was thumbing through “The First Hebrew Primer,” a guide to biblical Hebrew. Rumor has it (of course) that the “Charlie’s Angels” star may be interested in kaballah. A Chinese-American actress brushing up on Hebrew between takes. Only in Queens. |

| Iran, Iraq, Manhattan, Queens
While Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed a crowd in Manhattan, the leader from a neighboring country spoke in a bigger borough.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki found himself at the Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Richmond Hill, Queens last Monday evening. The mosque, located in Jamaica, is the second largest Shi’ite mosque in the country. The Muslims in attendance, there to break the fast on the first day of Ramadan, hailed from several countries and many had traveled across state lines to hear the Iraqi leader speak. Sitting with his top aides, Maliki joined the hundreds of congregants in prayer, partook in the meal and then tackled questions regarding his country’s progress and its future, at one point assuring a dubious cleric it was safe enough to make the pilgrimage to the Iraqi holy city of Najaf. |

| They Drove Us Bats!
“When is it going to be easy for the Mets,” fans cry. “When are we going to have our day in the sun, our crowning glory?” Well, there really isn’t an answer to that question. Another year, another debacle for the New York Mets; the Amazings suffered from their usual affliction, which ain’t so amazing; it’s called “almost.”
In a state where the Yankees clinched another playoff berth after they were given the proverbial 10 count it was the Mets who were asking God or some higher being for assistance during the stretch. Congratulations Yankees and as usual, to our Mets, you gave us quite a ride. See you next year! |

| Serenity Now!
Forest Hills psychotherapist Robert Lawrence Friedman wants to make you relax.
A new computer program he has designed, On Demand Relaxation, takes the participant on an innovative journey of relaxation. From the privacy of their home or office computer, the participant can access a relaxation module, employing both audio and visual stimulation in durations between 30 seconds and 20 minutes. Through the guided imagery of Mr. Friedman’s visualizations, instructions on healthy diaphragmatic breathing, and soothing music, the participant, on his/her own schedule, is said to feel more relaxed, refreshed and balanced. Friedman makes a living as a stress-management counselor for Fortune 500 companies. Another Queens man named Frank Costanza once threw around the idea of on-demand relaxation. It was called the “Serenity Now!” plan. Let’s hope Friedman’s is more successful. |
