An Evening with Kristen Ashley
Kristen Ashley began her writing career as a self-published author of novels set in Denver and is now a "hybrid" writer, publishing both independently and with Grand Central Publishing. Her series of 'Rock Chick' books are favorites of her loyal readers, and her title, Mystery Man, is set to be released in print in August. Kristen Ashley is coming to Denver for an author talk and book signing – and for a very special fundraiser for The Denver Public Library. She'll be answering questions about all of her books, talking especially about the places and stories that are drawn from her time living in Denver – and she'd like you to be there to celebrate her books and her passion for libraries. This is a ticketed event; $25 ticket includes a signed copy of Kristen's newest book Mystery Man. All proceeds from this event benefit The Denver Public Library and will support future events and cultural programming. Tickets may be purchased with cash or credit card at the Fresh City Lounge (just inside the west entrance of the Central Library) on the following days and times: Mondays: 4-8 p.m., Tuesdays: 1-8 p.m., Wednesdays: 1-6 p.m. If you cannot come to the library during those times, tickets can be purchased over the phone (credit card only) at the same times; call 720-865-1205.

Abstract: In this paper, a method is proposed to improve the interferometric phase quality, based on fusing data from different polarimetric channels. Since lower amplitude implies less reliable phase in general, the phase quality of polarimetric interferometric data can be improved by seeking optimal fusion of data from different polarizations to maximize the resulting amplitude. In the proposed approach, for each pixel, two coherent polarimetric scattering vectors are synchronously projected onto a same optimum direction, maximizing the lower amplitude of the two projections. In the single-look case, the fused phase is equivalent to the weighted average of phases in all polarimetric channels. It provides a good physical explanation of the proposed approach. Without any filtering, the phase noise and the number of residue points are significantly reduced, and the interferometric phase quality is greatly improved. It is a useful tool to preprocess the phase ahead of phase unwrapping. The Cloude's coherence optimization method is used for a comparison. Using the data collected by SIR-C/X-SAR, the authors demonstrate the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed approach.

► Mitotic spindles show dynamic rotations but planar stability in symmetric divisions ► Spindle behavior in symmetric division is controlled by opposing apicobasal forces ► Microtubules and myosin-10 contribute a basally directed positioning force ► F-actin and myosin-2 provide an apically directed positioning force
Orientation of cell division is a vital aspect of tissue morphogenesis and growth. Asymmetric divisions generate cell fate diversity and epithelial stratification, whereas symmetric divisions contribute to tissue growth, spreading, and elongation. Here, we describe a mechanism for positioning the spindle in symmetric cell divisions of an embryonic epithelium. We show that during the early stages of epiboly, spindles in the epithelium display dynamic behavior within the plane of the epithelium but are kept firmly within this plane to give a symmetric division. This dynamic stability relies on balancing counteracting forces: an apically directed force exerted by F-actin/myosin-2 via active cortical flow and a basally directed force mediated by microtubules and myosin-10. When both forces are disrupted, spindle orientation deviates from the epithelial plane, and epithelial surface is reduced. We propose that this dynamic mechanism maintains symmetric divisions while allowing the quick adjustment of division plane to facilitate even tissue spreading.

Kudos jimmy_JAKE for your impeccable logic and unmatched wit. I applaud you, sir. bows
tina-tinkle-toes, I cant say I come from the gutter, but I come from a fairly urban town with its share of rough edges. I've been to several of America's cities and seen the good and the bad. No, I've never spent a night in a heatless house or used food stamps, so, I don't know what "tough living" entails? Since my "ghetto approved" card hasn't arrived in the mail, should I return the shirt?
...I don't even know why I used 3 sentences in the last paragraph defending my knowledge and experience with "ghetto" living. I think so many people on here are "outraged" over this because it's the right thing to do/say. Oh, that's so tasteless. Where's the class, threadless? You honkies have no idea what the ghetto is like. This is the same t-shirt site that sells several shirts with the likeness of Jesus on it, not to mention one of its most popular items contains a person committing suicide.
What I'm trying to get at is—life is too fucking short to get your panties in a bunch over a fairly tame t-shirt. If this shirt were made about "white" stereotypes, nobody would care. -
I don't know why people take shit so fucking seriously. It's a shirt. You don't like it? Don't buy it, don't wear it.
I bought it. I'm white. BFD. -
band-it, I agree with Helo's comment.
...but I still gave you a 5'er anyway. Hope it get's printed!

Forums >Gears and Wears>What the Hoka?
I started this thread and said I wouldn't be buying these shoes anytime soon due to the cost. However, I contacted the company about being a shoe tester and was informed there is no testing program, but they would give me a $50 discount since I am a blogger. I ordered a pair of the Mafate Trail version and I expect they will arrive in the next week. Looking forward to testing them out on the trail.
They were very cushy. I prefer my shoes to let me feel the ground more. I think they might be useful for a really long run or maybe on tired legs or maybe if one changed shoes in the latter part of an ultramarathon..

Purdey, you just successfully ran the Leadville 100. Did you wear your Hoka one ones? How did it go?
Are those Capri's he's wearing?
He's only 4ft. They'd be shorts on most people.
I thought he was allowed to wear Capri's 'cos he's badass?
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Naw, its 'cause he's Euro..........
I'm about to buy some. Any comments on sizing? Anyone tried the waterproof ones...are they too hot?

Girl Catches Fire at Oregon Hospital
28667 posts back to top |
Posted about 1 year ago Girl Catches Fire at Oregon Hospital An 11-year-old cancer survivor who was hospitalized with a head injury is now recovering from third-degree burns after her shirt mysteriously caught fire in a Portland, Ore., hospital room. The girl, Ireland Lane, had been painting in her room at Doernbecher Children's Hospital, ABC affiliate KATU reported. Moments later, she ran into the hallway screaming, with her T-shirt aflame. "I've been in medicine going back 30 years now and never heard anything like this. And hopefully I never will again," Dr. Stacy Nicholson, assistant chief at Doernbecher Children's Hospital, told KATU. Doernbecher did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment. Hospital staff extinguished the flames, but the cause of the fire remains a mystery. Ireland said she used hand sanitizer to clean a table that rolled over her bed, where she had painted a wooden box as a gift for her nurses, the Oregonian reported. Officials are investigating whether the alcohol-based sanitizer and static electricity could have sparked the fire, a spokesman for the Oregon State Fire Marshal told ABCNews.com. Ireland, who is a cancer survivor, had been hospitalized for an unrelated head injury. She was due to leave the hospital the day of the fire, Feb. 2. Instead, she is undergoing treatment for third-degree burns on her chest, neck, arms and earlobes at Legacy Oregon Burn Center, the Oregonian reported. She is listed in serious condition and scheduled to undergo a second skin graft Thursday - her 12 th birthday. "She's quite a tough one," the girl's father, Stephen Lane of Klamath Falls, Ore., told the Oregonian. "She's been through more than any child I've ever heard of, and to still walk around with a smile on her face and enjoy the things of the day that are going on, and be a kid is to me pretty amazing." Lane said his daughter "still has bad dreams," but doesn't remember the fire. He, on the other hand, can't get it out of his head. He was sleeping in Ireland's hospital room when the fire erupted and followed his frantic daughter into the hallway, where he smothered the flames with his body, according to the Oregonian. "I can handle all of it - I'm a dad and I'm supposed to," he told the paper. "But I hate seeing her unhappy stuck in a hospital again." |

A performative approach to studying processes of systemic innovation in the energy sectorBrenneche, Nicolaj Tofte (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The ongoing efforts to transform energy systems towards becoming environmentally sustainable provide a rich empirical source for cases of organizational creativity in the form of collective entrepreneurship, co-creation and collaborative innovation. In this paper, I will briefly introduce the challenge of organizing knowledge production in context of open-ended energy system transitions and argue, on the ground of a critical reading of established innovation management research, that a processual approach is needed in order to analyze how system transition processes are pursued through an entrepreneurial form of collective agency-in-progress through e.g. partnership arrangements. I will put particular emphasis on presenting a methodology for doing innovation process research performatively which I have developed during the course of my ph.d. research where I have participated in a European strategic partnership since 2009. Considering this partnership as a case of relational entrepreneurship within the organization of energy research, the methodological discussion puts focus on how to study this performatively – that is, how to not only theorize and study relational entrepreneurship as a practice of others, but to perform relational entrepreneurship through a research practice. The paper comprise an introduction and then a excerpt from my methodology chapter from my ph.d. thesis which I am close to finalizing. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8831 Files in this item: 1

Origins, Attributes, CritiqueFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Israel Kirzner's concept of entrepreneurship as alertness to profit opportunities is one of the most influential modern interpretations of the entrepreneurial function. Shane and Venkataraman's (2000: 218) influential assessment defines entrepreneurship research as "the scholarly examination of how, by whom, and with what effects opportunities to create future goods and services are discovered, evaluated, and exploited." As such, "the field involves the study of sources of opportunities; the processes of discovery, evaluation, and exploitation of opportunities; and the set of individuals who discover, evaluate, and exploit them." Shane's General Theory of Entrepreneurship (2003) cites Kirzner and "Kirznerian opportunities" more than any writer other than Joseph Schumpeter. More generally, the entrepreneurial opportunity, rather than the individual entrepreneur, the startup company, or the new product, has become the centerpiece of the academic study of entrepreneurship.

How Headquarters Facilitate Business Model Innovation at the Subsidiary LevelCao, Yangfeng; Ping Li, Peter; Skat-Rørdam, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Primarily due to the large gaps in economic and institutional contexts between the developed and emerging markets, business model innovation (BMI) at the subsidiary level plays an important role for the success of small and mediumsized firms (SMEs) from the developed markets operating in the emerging markets as top-down venture. While some studies claim that the direct involvement of headquarters (HQ) of SMEs in the activities of their subsidiaries is essential, surprisingly little is known about how HQ specifically facilitates BMI at the subsidiary level, especially in the context of top-down venture. Adopting the method of comparative and longitudinal case study, we tracked the BMI process of six SMEs from Denmark operating in China. The emergent framework indicates that entrepreneurial aspiration and flexibility at the HQ level 2 Asia Research Centre, CBS, Copenhagen Discussion Paper 2013-42 are two primary facilitators of BMI at the subsidiary level via the mechanisms of commitment and cooperation. We also found that BMI performance would influence the two facilitators in a feedback loop. Hence, we can contribute to the literatures on international entrepreneurship and strategic entrepreneurship by integrating the two previously separated research streams via their shared theme of accelerated learning. In particular, this study helps solve the puzzle concerning fast and successful international venture. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8679 Files in this item: 1

Iversen, Jens; Malchow-Møller, Nikolaj; Sørensen, Anders (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We argue that formal schooling and wage-work experience are complementary types of human capital for entrepreneurs. Strong empirical support is found for this hypothesis as the interaction term between schooling and actual wage-work experience enters positively and significantly in a Mincer equation, whereas the effect of schooling in the absence of wage-work experience is insignificant. These results are extremely robust towards more flexible specifications, including fixed-effects estimations dealing with unobserved heterogeneity. For wage workers, the interaction term is negligible, confirming that the complementarity is a distinct characteristic of entrepreneurial human capital.

A Review and Future Directions for ResearchV. Christensen, Patrizia; P. Ulhøi, John; Madsen, Henning (Århus, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The main focus of this paper is on individuals and/or groups of individuals who create or seize a new technology-based or knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial opportunity. For this purpose, a theoretical framework for studying entrepreneurship, using financial, social and human capital, including social ties and networks, has been developed. Research themes or questions concerning how social ties and entrepreneurs' background affect the funding, launching and subsequent development of a new venture in high-tech or knowledge-intensive sectors are outlined. Also of interest here is how the presence or absence of important environmental factors, such as financing opportunities and involvement in a technology business incubator, can affect the success or failure of entrepreneurial efforts. After reviewing the existing literature, the paper concludes by presenting future research challenges and practical implications for organisations and individuals willing to take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8128 Files in this item: 1

Christensen, P. V.; Ulhøi, J. P.; Neergaard, H. (Aarhus, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Based on a number of in-depth case studies, the aim of this paper is to elucidate some of the key internal and external mechanisms influencing the foundation and early growth of high-tech and knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial ventures. Following a detailed sampling procedure, a number of semi-structured interviews were carried out between August 2000 and June 2001. The firms were chosen among those established during the last three years both inside and outside Danish business incubators. The sampling was carried out in such a way as to include both male and female entrepreneurs. Our preliminary findings indicate that in the early phases of the business, prior social relations between members of the entrepreneurial teams play an important role in both the recruiting of key employees and managers and in the success of the entrepreneurial venture. Moreover, the weak ties resulting from the personal and/or business experience of at least one of the members of the entrepreneurial team appear to enhance the likelihood of the firm being "born global".

Moberg, Kåre (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this book chapter I present a multidimensional entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) scale. The scale builds on three established ESE-scales, but the reliability of it is improved compared to the original three scales as the highly discipline-specific jargon is transformed to a more neutral wording of the items. The scale has been tested in a large scale survey including 445 students from twelve different programmes at three universities in Denmark and one university in Sweden. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has been applied in order to investigate the multidimensionality of the items in the scale, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has been applied to investigate its convergent, discriminatory and nomological validity. The results demonstrate support for a multidimensional ESE-scale with high predictive validity regarding entrepreneurial behaviours and with high reliability as the items are comprehensible to respondents, regardless if they have entrepreneurial experience or not. The scale can thus be used in programme evaluations that include control groups or other type of individuals that lack entrepreneurial experience.

From opportunity discovery to judgmentFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Entrepreneurship has become a fast-growing subfield in management research, and is increasingly appearing in economics, finance, and even law. We survey a number of approaches to entrepreneurship in the economics and management literatures, and argue that modern research in this area need to be focused around ideas from Austrian economics and Frank Knight on entrepreneurial judgment. We critically discuss the recent opportunity discovery literature in management, and argue that it has partially misunderstood the Austrian origins of the theory, and fails to ade-quately distinguish between opportunity identification and opportunity exploitation.

Abstract: Entrepreneurship is ultimately about the arrangement of resources into productive activi-ties. Much of the entrepreneurship literature, however, has focused on the demand side of the market. While resource heterogeneity is a feature of many theories of the firm, such theories are not built on a systematic theory of capital. We show how the approach to capital developed by the Austrian school of economics provides a natural bridge between theory of entrepreneurship and the theory of the firm. We refine Austrian capital theory by defining capital heterogeneity in terms of subjectively perceived attributes, the func-tions, characteristics, and uses of capital assets. Such attributes are not given, but have to be created or discovered by means of entrepreneurial action. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7443 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The study of entrepreneurship and the study of economic organizing lack contact. In fact, the modern theory of the firm virtually ignores entrepreneurship, while the literature on entrepreneurship often sees little value in the economic theory of the firm. In contrast, we argue in this chapter that entrepreneurship theory and the theory of the firm can be usefully integrated, and that doing so would improve both bodies of theory. Adding the entrepreneur to the theory of the firm provides a dynamic view that the overly static analysis of firm organizing cannot support. Moreover, adding the firm to the study of the entrepreneur provides important clues to how we can understand entrepreneurship. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8250 Files in this item: 1

Any Gains from Trade?Foss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Though they developed in isolation, the theory of entrepreneurship and the economic theory of the firm can be usefully integrated. In particular, the concept of entrepreneurship as judgment associated with Knight (1921) and some Austrian school economists aligns naturally with the theory of the firm. Because judgment cannot be purchased on the market, the entrepreneur needs a firm — a set of alienable assets he controls — to carry out his function. We show how this notion of judgment illuminates key themes in the modern theory of the firm (existence, boundaries, and internal organization). In our approach, resource uses are not data, but are created as entrepreneurs envision new ways of using assets to produce final goods. The entrepreneur's problem is aggravated by the fact that capital assets are heterogeneous. Asset ownership allows the entrepreneur to experiment with novel combinations of heterogeneous assets. The boundaries of the firm, as well as aspects of internal organization, may also be understood as responses to entrepreneurial processes of experimentation.

Any Gains from TradeFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Although they have developed very much in isolation from each other, we argue the theory of entrepreneurship and the economic theory of the firm are closely related, and each has much to learn from the other. In particular, the notion of entrepreneurship as judgment associated with Frank Knight and some Austrian school economists aligns naturally with the theory of the firm. In this perspective, the entrepreneur needs a firm, that is, a set of alienable assets he controls, to carry out his function. We further show how this notion of judgment adds to the key themes in the modern theory of the firm (i.e., the existence, boundaries, and internal organization). In our approach, resource uses are not data, but are created as entrepreneurs envision new ways of using assets to produce goods. The entrepreneur's decision problem is aggravated by the fact that capital assets are heterogeneous. Asset ownership facilitates experimenting entrepreneurship: Acquiring a bundle of property rights is a low cost means of carrying out commercial experimentation. In this approach, the existence of the firm may be understood in terms of limits to the market for judgment relating to novel uses of heterogeneous assets; and the boundaries of the firm, as well as aspects of internal organization, may be understood as being responsive to entrepreneurial processes of experimentation. Key words: Entrepreneurship, heterogeneous assets, judgment, ownership, firm boundaries, internal organization. JEL Codes: B53, D23, L2 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6429 Files in this item: 1

Report from a workshop 6-8 September 2010Schaumburg-Müller, Henrik; Jeppesen, Søren; Langevang, Thilde (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper is a report from the workshop on Entrepreneurship Development arranged by the Centre for Business and Development Studies at CBS and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in September 2010. The objective of the workshop was to use the participants' joint knowledge and experiences to discuss and provide conclusions on what role entrepreneurship development has played and can play to stimulate growth and employment in Africa. Entrepreneurship development is understood as the promotion and development of activities and processes that foster and support productive entrepreneurship in the society. The workshop should provide inputs to how entrepreneurship in Africa can be supported and be used in the development and implementation of the "Growth and Employment" priority of the new Danish strategy for development cooperation. The workshop had twenty participants with long standing insight to the challenges of entrepreneurship development and employment growth in Africa from international organizations, development cooperation partners, universities and private enterprises and organizations. The report contains the key issues discussed at the workshop and ends with conclusions and recommendations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8208 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This chapter discusses entrepreneurship in the context of the RBV. What does the RBV have to say that the study of entrepreneurship may usefully draw on? And, conversely, how can entrepreneurship research further the RBV? I begin by sketching the RBV. I then discuss the relation between the RBV and entrepreneurship research, before I characterize a new research stream that has emerged over the last decade or so in the intersection of the RBV and entrepreneurship research, namely "strategic entrepreneurship."

Relying on unique data that covers all plants, firms and individuals in the Danish private sector, we are able to distil a number of different measures of entrepreneurial plants from the set of new plants, including measures that much more precisely capture the "truly new" or "entrepreneurial" plants than in previous studies. Using these data, we find that while new plants in general account for one third of the gross job creation in the economy, entrepreneurial plants are responsible for between 15% and 25% of this, and thus only account for up to 8% of total gross job creation in the economy. However, entrepreneurial plants seem to generate more additional jobs than other new plants in the years following entry. Finally, the jobs generated by entrepreneurial plants are to a large extent low-wage jobs, as they are not found to contribute to the growth in average wages. However, this insight varies across the different types of entrepreneurial plants. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7713 Files in this item: 1

Towards a new SynthesisFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G.; Kor, Yasemin Y.; Mahoney, Joseph T. (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper maintains that the consistent application of subjectivism helps to reconcile contemporary entrepreneurship theory with strategic management research in general, and the resource−based view in particular. The paper synthesizes theoretical insights from Austrian economics and Penrose's (1959) resources approach, arguing that entrepreneurship is inherently subjective and firm specific. This new synthesis describes how entrepreneurship is manifested in teams, and is driven by both heterogeneity of managerial mental models and shared team experiences.

Abstract: This paper responds to Kim and Mahoney's "How Property Rights Economics Furthers the Resource-Based View: Resources, Transaction Costs and Entrepreneurial Discovery" (a comment on Foss and Foss, 2005). While we agree with many of their arguments, we argue that they fail to recognize how exactly transaction costs and property rights shape the process of entrepreneurial discovery. We provide a sketch of the mechanisms that link entrepreneurship, property rights, and transaction costs in a resource-based setting, contributing further to the attempt to take the RBV in a more dynamic direction.

Abstract: Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are expanding their global reach, carrying their products and brands to ever more remote corners of the world. They encounter business environments that vary not only from their country of origin, but also vary greatly amongst each other. Thus foreign investors have to adapt their strategies, most notably their marketing and acquisition strategies, to the local context. In this paper, we outline why globalisation drives MNEs into emerging economies, and we provide conceptual frameworks that may aid investors to adapt their strategies to emerging economy contexts. MNEs have to develop a portfolio of local and/or global brands that matches their competences with local needs. If they aim for market leadership they may pursue a multi-tier strategy, but this needs to be supported by an appropriate foundation of global and local resources. This strategy in particular requires the acquisition of complementary local resources controlled by local firms. However, acquisitions in emerging economies are inhibited by institutional obstacles and weak local firms. Thus, foreign investors may pursue staged, multiple, indirect, or Brownfield acquisitions to build their projected operation. We illustrate our proposed strategies by analysing how one multination enterprise - Carlsberg Breweries - has developed its operations in three very different emerging economies: Poland, Lithuania and Vietnam.

Born Humphrey DeForest Bogart on Dec. 25, 1899 in New York City, he was the eldest child and only son of Belmont and Elizabeth Bogart. Bogart enjoyed a somewhat privileged childhood, as his father was a prominent surgeon and his mother a classically-trained commercial illustrator. With a permanent home on New York's Upper West Side, the well-to-do family also owned an upstate vacation property on Canandaigua Lake, where Belmont endowed his son with the lifelong loves of chess and sailing. Although raised in affluence, he was far from spoiled. Both of his parents were exceptionally busy and highly focused on their careers, and they expected the same of their son. Bogart was enrolled in several private schools from an early age, eventually being accepted at the prestigious Exeter Academy in Andover, MA. Their hopes for him to attend Yale University were dashed, however, when Bogart - always an indifferent, somewhat anti-social student - was expelled from Exeter for reasons that remained unclear. In 1918, the adventurous young man, enamored with the sea and filled with romantic notions of war, enlisted in the U.S. Navy aboard the U.S.S. Leviathan, where - again under circumstances never definitively explained - he injured his upper lip, resulting in his famous, character-enhancing scar.
Having acquitted himself admirably during his naval service, Bogart returned to New York where he worked a short series of jobs before a family connection gave him his first contact within the theater world. Having struck up a friendship with playwright and actress Alice Brady, he was hired by her father, film and theater producer William A. Brady, for whom he worked for a time in various positions. After a brief stint as a stage manager on Alice Brady's production of "A Ruined Lady," she gave him his debut role a few months later in another of her plays, "Drifting," in 1921. While he did not necessarily take Broadway by storm, Bogart had finally found his vocation. From 1922 to 1935, he appeared in dozens of stage productions. Early on, he met and soon married actress Helen Menken, although this first union would end amicably little more than a year later. Another marriage to a stage actress, Mary Philips, followed in 1928. For a number of years, Bogart toiled in one-dimensional roles in lightweight productions, never satisfied with the quality of the work, but continually honing and refining his craft, regardless. After a few film shorts alongside the likes of Helen Hayes, Bogart made his feature film debut with a supporting role in "Up the River" (1930), starring fellow stage actor Spencer Tracy, a man with who Bogart would remain close friends for life.
Now dividing his time almost equally between Broadway and Hollywood, Bogart landed the pivotal role of vicious criminal Duke Mantee in the 1935 stage production of Robert E. Sherwood's "The Petrified Forest." The part - in support of the play's star, Leslie Howard - earned the young actor glowing revues for a role very much against the callow youth types he normally played. It also earned him the respect of Howard, who insisted that Warner Bros. cast Bogart as Mantee for the filmed version. The studio - which had hoped to place established star Edward G. Robinson in the role - initially balked. After Howard stood firm, Bogart was given the part. The film adaptation of "The Petrified Forest" (1936), co-starring Howard and Bette Davis, was a substantial success and proved without a doubt that Bogart's imposing stage presence carried over to the screen quite effectively. Warner Bros. promptly signed him to a standard contract, necessitating his permanent relocation to the West Coast. Enjoying a very successful stage career herself, Philips and her husband attempted to keep the long distance marriage going for another year before eventually agreeing to divorce in 1937. Bogart moved forward in a string of B-movies for the studio, either in roles that supported bigger stars like Robinson and James Cagney - "Kid Galahad" (1937) and "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938) among them - or as the lead in B-movies such as "Swing Your Lady" (1938) and "The Return of Doctor X" (1939).
As Bogart struggled with the increasing dissatisfaction of his film work, he entered into a third marriage in 1938 with Mayo Methot, an actress he had met through mutual friends. She was a mercurial woman with a serious drinking problem and prone to fits of jealousy. So fractious was their marriage that at one point the press began to refer to the couple as the "Battling Bogarts." Although he was enjoying good notices for his work in such crime dramas as "They Drive by Night" (1940) and "High Sierra" (1941) - it was on the set of the latter that he began a friendship with screenwriter John Huston - Bogart was still being passed over for the more traditional leading man roles in favor of actors like Cagney and George Raft. When Raft turned down the offer to star in Huston's directorial debut, "The Maltese Falcon" (1941), based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, the role was offered to Bogart, who eagerly accepted. As Sam Spade, the actor created the prototype for every private detective to grace the screen in the decades that followed. Surrounded by a stellar supporting cast that included Sydney Greenstreet, Elisha Cook, Jr., Mary Astor, and Peter Lorre, Bogart was perfect as the quick-tongued, jaded gumshoe, who nonetheless maintained his sense of honor and a tarnished idealism. The movie became an instant classic upon release, and even Bogart - normally overly critical of his own work - referred to Huston's film as "practically a masterpiece."
Having gained newfound respect - not to mention a more lucrative contract with Warners - Bogart reteamed with director Huston and co-stars Astor and Greenstreet for the World War II espionage thriller "Across the Pacific" (1942). That same year Bogart delivered his legendary performance as expatriate nightclub owner Rick Blaine in "Casablanca" (1942). The result of happenstance, fate, and an undeniable chemistry between its stars, "Casablanca" was based on a then-unproduced stage play, rushed into production, and despite the high-wattage of its cast and crew, was not expected to perform exceptionally well at the box-office. Nevertheless, in his first romantic lead, Bogart took his 'man with a hardened exterior, but the heart of a hero' persona to an entirely new, mesmerizing level. Reteamed with Greenstreet and Lorre, his leading lady was European beauty Ingrid Bergman, who literally shimmered alongside Bogart on screen. The film went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and as a result, catapulted Bogart to the top of Warner Bros.' roster of stars, making him the highest paid film actor of the day. Despite the generally glowing critical acclaim of the time, "Casablanca" did only moderately well at the box-office. In the years that followed, however, it would become widely regarded as one of the best American films ever made, as well as having the distinction of being the most quoted. Interestingly, the most famous of these lines, "Play it again, Sam," was, in fact, misquoted, and was never actually spoken in the film.
Just like the rest of the world, Hollywood's attention was on World War II in the early 1940s, and Bogart's film output was no exception. Movies of the period included the naval adventure "Action in the North Atlantic" (1943), the desert tank action piece "Sahara" (1943), and "Passage to Marseille" (1944). The latter film reteamed Bogart with "Casablanca" alumni such as Greenstreet, Lorre, Claude Rains, and director Michael Curtiz. Next came a film that would have a much grander effect on Bogart's personal life than his box-office credentials - director Howard Hawks' "To Have and Have Not" (1944). Loosely based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway, it co-starred 19-year-old fashion model Betty Perske - soon to be known by her stage name of Lauren Bacall. The sparks ignited onscreen between the two were no cinematic illusion, as the pair soon fell passionately in love, despite the disparity in their ages by over 20 years. Bogart, unfortunately, was still in the midst of a miserable marriage, and so his and Bacall's early romance was kept very much under wraps, taking on the outward appearance of a mentor-apprentice relationship, while they expressed their mutual adoration via discreet rendezvous and through secret correspondence. When Bogart at last divorced the now raging Methot in early 1945, he and Bacall were married mere weeks later. The marriage would be her first and his last, and by all accounts one of Hollywood's rare happy and lasting unions.
Their onscreen collaboration proved instantly popular and Bogie immediately paired again with Bacall and director Hawks for "The Big Sleep" (1946). An early film noir based on the novel by Raymond Chandler and written for the screen by William Faulkner, it starred Bogart as perhaps the quintessential private detective, Philip Marlowe. While the film was faulted by critics for its labyrinthine plot - some said incomprehensible - nearly all lauded Bogart's portrayal of the rumpled knight errant and the continually enjoyable onscreen chemistry with his sultry new bride. At the height of Hollywood's film noir era, he starred in many of the best alongside cinema's greatest femme fatales, including "Dead Reckoning" (1947) with Lizabeth Scott, "The Two Mrs. Carrolls" (1947) with Barbara Stanwyck, and "Dark Passage" (1947), which once again teamed him with Bacall. The star next partnered with writer-director Huston for the desert adventure of greed and survival, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948). Bogart starred as a down-on-his-luck American in 1920s Mexico who joins another adventurer (Tim Holt) and an old prospector (Walter Huston) in a perilous quest for a fortune in gold. Despite its critical acclaim and garnering of three Oscars, audiences were not initially quick to embrace a movie without a female love interest or any clear-cut hero. Time, however, embraced "Sierra Madre" as a true classic, and the movie was cited as being hugely influential on filmmakers such as Stanley Kubrick and Paul Thomas Anderson.
In the years that followed World War II, America was swept up in wide spread anti-Communist fervor, spurred by a distrust of its former ally, the Soviet Union. Led by Huston and other Hollywood luminaries, Bogart, Bacall and several other film stars formed a group called the Committee of the First Amendment which traveled to Washington D.C. to protest the hearings being held by the House of Un-American Activities Commission (HUAC), claiming that it was unfairly harassing many actors and artists. Unfortunately, the move only drew suspicion, and in a 1948 issue of Photoplay magazine, Bogart felt compelled to defend himself with an article entitled "I'm No Communist," claiming that he and his wife were duped into their participation. Regardless, Bogart remained one of film's most powerful stars, and he began to assert his growing independence via his new production company, Santana Productions. The title of his latest business venture was derived from the name of a sailing vessel seen in Bogart's latest noir masterpiece "Key Largo" (1948). Directed again by Huston and co-starring Edward G. Robinson, it would be Bogart's final - and possibly best - onscreen pairing with Bacall. Trapped in an island hotel off the coast of Florida during a raging hurricane, Bogart, Bacall and her father (Lionel Barrymore) find themselves at the mercy of fugitive gangster Johnny Rocco (Robinson) in a taught thriller bordering on perfection.
Released under his Santana Productions, Bogart next appeared in the films "Knock On Any Door" (1949), "Tokyo Joe" (1949), and director Nicholas Ray's "In a Lonely Place" (1950). A bleak existential noir masterpiece, the latter film featured what many have come to regard as one of Bogart's most complex, albeit least mentioned, screen performances as a struggling screenwriter who may or may not be a brutal killer. By now an independent freelance movie star, Bogart made his last films for Warner Bros. with "Chain Lightening" (1950) and "The Enforcer" (1951), much to the studio's displeasure. Next came the romantic-adventure "The African Queen" (1951), which starred Bogart as an anti-social, gin-swilling river boat captain hired to shepherd a button-downed missionary (Katherine Hepburn) on a dangerous mission in German East Africa at the outbreak of World War I. An instant classic, the film garnered Oscar nominations for both Hepburn and director/co-writer Huston. It was, however, only Bogart who would take home a statuette - his first and only - for Best Actor. The actor himself was known to cite this work as his favorite performance, although in true Bogey fashion he would later quip that, "the only way to survive an Oscar is never to try to win another one."
Bogart's last collaboration with his friend John Huston came in the form of "Beat the Devil" (1953), a sly parody of previous Huston classics, in particular "The Maltese Falcon." Following a group of greedy, unscrupulous gold diggers chasing an unattainable treasure in a Kenyan seaport, it was written by Truman Capote and featured the likes of Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida and Peter Lorre. Although it would later achieve cult status, the difficult to categorize movie did not perform well at theaters or with critics. Perhaps due to the fact that his Santana Productions lost so much money on the picture, Bogart would later regard "Beat the Devil" as one of his least favorite films. Moving into the later stages of his career, and with nothing left to prove, Bogart had the luxury of lowering his usual fee to land the leading role in the psychological wartime drama "The Caine Mutiny" (1954). As the paranoid disciplinarian Capt. Queeg, Bogart deftly combined the isolated loner characteristics of Rick Blaine with the self-serving, small-mindedness of his Dobbs character in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre." For his performance, he was nominated for yet another Academy Award - he lost to Marlon Brando for "On the Waterfront" (1954) - with Queeg eventually becoming regarded as Bogart's last truly great movie role.
With his health now beginning to fail, although he refused to seek treatment, Bogart continued with his always impressive film output. He vied for the attention of Audrey Hepburn with playboy brother William Holden in director Billy Wilder's romantic-comedy "Sabrina" (1954), and starred opposite Ava Gardner in "The Barefoot Contessa" (1954). He played an escaped convict making up for a shady past in the comedy-drama "We're No Angels" (1955), a man impersonating a priest in the romantic-adventure "The Left Hand of God" (1955), and a ruthless prison escapee - Bogart's last villainous role - in the thriller "The Desperate Hours" (1955). Bogart's final role was that of a sardonic sports writer-turned-boxing promoter in the sports noir "The Harder They Fall" (1956). Seriously ill throughout the filming, the actor, a life-long heavy drinker and smoker, had by then been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Despite aggressive treatments that included surgery and chemotherapy, the cancer continued to spread. Friends and fellow stars Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn were a few of the last people to see the greatly diminished movie icon in his final days. Shortly after his 57th birthday, Humphrey Bogart died after slipping into a coma on Jan. 14, 1957 at his home in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles. He left behind Bacall and two small children, Stephen, a son, and Leslie, a daughter.
In the decades that followed his death, Bogart inarguably became a worldwide film icon, possibly the biggest outside of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. He remained one of the most quoted actors in history, with lines like "Here's looking at you, kid," and "The stuff that dreams are made of," as well as "We'll always have Paris," being but a few examples. Unknown to many pop culture enthusiasts, it was Bogart and Bacall who formed the original nucleus of the legendary Hollywood 'Rat Pack'- that informal society so closely identified with Frank Sinatra and his pals Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. Films like Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" (1960) and Woody Allen's "Play it Again, Sam" (1972), paid direct tribute to the actor with the fedora and an ever-present cigarette pinched between his fingers. On television his characters and movies were referenced in everything from Bugs Bunny cartoons to episodes of "Magnum P.I." (CBS, 1980-88). And as if to put the final punctuation on the matter once and for all, in 1999 the American Film Institute named Humphrey Bogart as the No. 1 leading man in its list of the 50 Greatest American Screen Legends. One would be hard pressed to find a serious cinema historian who would argue otherwise.

Cutting Back on Salt | Secrets of Eating Healthy | Healthy, Delicious Recipes |
High blood pressure and healthy eatingWhat you choose to eat can have a big effect on your blood pressure. That's why your doctor may have talked with you about making healthy eating habits a part of your treatment plan. It may not be easy to change your habits at first. It's good to know there are ways to give old favorites a healthy new twist. Making some small changes in your eating habits can include:
Cutting back on saltDid you know too much salt can cause excess fluid to stay in the body? Salt, which contains sodium, attracts and holds water in the blood, and that can cause blood pressure to rise. How much salt?Try to limit your sodium intake each day to about 1500 milligrams (mg) or 2/3 teaspoon of table salt. This amount has been shown to help lower blood pressure. DASH-ing to your goalsFor people with high blood pressure (also called hypertension), there is the DASH eating plan. It is sometimes called the DASH diet. But it is not a weight-loss diet. It is a lifelong eating plan to help you make healthy food choices. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. And it's another proven way to help lower your blood pressure. The DASH eating plan at a glance:
The DASH eating plan and other healthy changes, along with taking your medicine as prescribed, can help you manage your blood pressure. |

This Is Happening Inside Your Body, Right Now!: White Blood Cell Chasing Bacteria
Allegedly this is a white blood cell chasing around some bacteria and eventually subduing it. Of course, I have no proof that's actually what this is because I'm not a microbioscientist. For all I know it's a really bad VHS copy of a Benny Hill chase scene from the end of his show. But where's the music? A DOO DOO DOOTLE OOT DOO DOO DOOTLE OOT DOOT DA DOOT DA DOOT DOOT. Oh yeah, that's the stuff.
Thanks to Ian, who destroys bacteria like colloidal silver. Haha, I know science!
No, it's not unprotected sex, it's a video showing how an infected AIDS cell spreads the disease to other, healthy cells. It's the first time the process has ever been caught on video, and scientists hope the information will help in the search for a cure. The study was made ... / Continue →

I am a long-time supporter of Gilda's Club of New York City. I am inspired by their message and their heartfelt goal to assure that no person should ever have to face Cancer alone. As such, I strive to donate my time and/or talents whenever possible. I urge you to get involved and donate to this fabulous cause in any way you can.
More information: Gilda's Club NYC | Gilda's Club on Facebook
This event – New York City's Gilda's Club chapter second annual event – was hosted on April 9, 2013. Held at Pranna Restaurant, on Mad Men-made infamous Madison Avenue, the event was marked with delicious food, great company, signature drinks, and the most delicious bite-sized cupcakes ever!

There are a lot of firsts in your little guy or girls life – first bath, first smile, first word, first step, and their first birthday. When my best friend, Jennie, wanted to celebrate her little man's birthday in a BIG way, she called me up and together we were able to create a custom birthday invitation to blend seamlessly into the first birthday theme. With an impromptu photo shoot, and a little Illustrator magic, Vince's first birthday invitations were created on budget and declared 'perfect' by a very happy Mommy and Daddy.
As an artist, some of the most interesting explorations are those between the darkness and the light – the darkness and the light literally speaking in my art, but also figuratively in my life, my personality, and my hopes. This is a favorite digital drawing of mine which illustrates this complex relationship. Some days when I look at this piece I focus on the light, sometimes the dark. Author Margaret Leroy shared some enlightening insight into darkness in one of her novels, and I find this quote seems to explain my mindset as I created this piece.
'I learned in that moment that there are different darknesses. That there is ordinary darkness, like the night in the countryside, where, even on a night with no moon, as you stare things loom, take form; and there is another darkness, a darkness so profound you cannot begin to imagine it, cannot conjure it up in your mind. A darkness that blots out all you remember or hope for. A darkness that teaches that all that consoles you is false.'
― Margaret Leroy, The Soldier's Wife
Sometimes the hardest thing to accomplish as a graphic artist is knowing when to keep things simple. As an artist, I am always looking to explore new territory and push the metaphorical envelope. However, when you are creating scientific diagrams for educational handouts, simpler is 100 percent better. The phrase, 'Keep it simple, stupid' was most likely created with an overachieving designer in mind.
NOTE: These diagrams were created for the Edison Innovation Foundation located in Newark, New Jersey.
I was asked to photograph an event on Friday, October 19, 2012 for a relatively young non-profit organization – the White Roof Project. The mission of this non-profit is exactly what the name implies … to paint black roofs white. Why? To save the environment, one little roof at a time.
Simply, when you paint your roof white rather than leaving it tar black, energy costs within the office or residence decreases significantly (sometimes as much as 40%) largely because the sun's heat is not as disruptive to a white roof as to a darker roof shade. As a result, stress on the power grid is decreased and resources are saved. What amazing results due to a simple wardrobe change!
Working with the White Roof Project was a real pleasure. This small but determined organization is composed of respectful, friendly, honest, welcoming, and intelligent individuals who are taking the simple act of painting and turning it into a big idea with big results.
Famed French photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson – known to some as the father of modern photojournalism and the creator of street photography – lauded the idea of a photograph's decisive moment. Cartier-Bresson believed that, 'photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression.' He felt that if you and your camera were ready at all times, and you happened to be in the right place at the perfect time, you would come to take the perfect picture.
I have found, in all my years of photography, that your decisive moments are when you least expect them, and often feature someone or something that you weren't intending to photograph. One weekend in October, I went to visit my dearest cousin and photograph her new daughter – and my new goddaughter – for her birth announcement. It was there that I caught these images of her oldest son – in a bit of a fit, and in need of attention and lunch. It was in that moment, that I looked away from my intended subject and caught the perfect pout of childhood.
Typography is a key – and often overlooked – aspect of design. A beautiful, moving, timeless piece can be created using nothing more and nothing less than letters. Combine those letters together into words and into sentences to form an immortal phrase, and then you are in business.

At times you come across an inanimate item - per chance - and it touches you, urges you, beckons you to immortalize it via film for forevermore. Does that ever happen to you?
Working within a start-up is always an adventure – days are always busy, your to-do list is never-ending, the team is always wishing for 'just one more person', but most especially, with a start-up there are a lot of 'firsts'. The first customer, the first big news article, the first new hire and also – and most importantly – the product firsts. In order to celebrate the first big milestone of delivered notes for Gracious Eloise, I was tasked to create an announcement badge and corresponding landing page. This sort of project is always great fun for me because I can step outside the norm of the brand, and design something with a little more flair and a little more pizzazz, since the point of the piece is to attract as much attention as possible. Above are the 6 versions I created. Which is your favorite?
According to Women 2.0′s site, 'Founder Friday is a Women 2.0 event to promote the creation of new networks among aspiring entrepreneurs, current entrepreneurs and investors in innovative cities globally. Both men and women are invited to attend Founder Friday.'
This event was especially enjoyable for me because I was able to watch my boss – Gracious Eloise Founder and CEO Eloise Bune – speak on the challenges of starting a female owned and operated technology startup. She inspired me most with these heartfelt words of reassurance.
The event – hosted on April 26, 2012 – was my third with the Gilda's Club of New York City, and I must say it had to be my most favorite. The location was gorgeous and very rock & roll – the soon-to-be-open Cutting Room on 32nd & Park – a venue boasting an amazing guitar chandelier, huge picture windows, smoking-room leather couches and an eclectic art collection. The gorgeous and incredibly friendly Miss USA made an appearance to help raise money for this auspicious organization, and four heroic cancer survivors were honored.
One of my most rewarding freelance appointments has been through my tenure with The Edison Innovation Foundation. I have been working with the Foundation since 2007, and have enjoyed every single project. Since I was not much of a science buff in school, it is such a nice experience to be surrounded by a group of people who are so interested in science, innovation and technology – and to have this same group be so willing to take the time to share and explain things to me with no condescension. I also have the unique opportunity of being introduced to scenes and people that I would not normally mix with – such as the event on Sunday, April 24, 2012 at NJIT.
Last year, Laura, one of my dearest friends asked me to be the {Co}Godmother to her soon-to-be-born, little girl. Not only did I feel incredibly honored to be asked, but I was also thrilled to be asked to share the task with my oldest friend, Jennie. Three hundred and sixty-five days later, I had the pleasure to watch my dear little Ava turn one, sitting alongside my compatriot Jennie – as she prepares to deliver her first child in {hopefully} the next couple of days. Ava is a fearless and utterly happy child. She is independent yet attentive, and such a strong character for one so young. Happy Birthday baby, and here's wishing you many more happy days to come.
At a young age, I felt compelled to steal and use my mother's camera with wild abandon. Not because of some deep-seeded philosophical need to capture beauty and truth, but because I was inexplicably drawn to the hypnotic sound of the lens cap closing … cla-click, tut. I would walk around snap, snap, snapping my Pentax K1000 at nothing and everything – sometimes without even any film in the camera. It was not until I grew older and suffered loss and life that I was able to fully understand the power of a photograph. A photograph – a patient, thoughtful, well-timed photograph – can capture a perfect moment; one that will never be able to be captured in quite the same way again. And thus I surround myself with vintage cameras that have captured so many moments of the lives of those that may have already been forgotten. And I listen to their cla-clicks, and I open my eyes, and I feel ready to see.
This was the second Gilda's Club event that I photographed, and again I was very moved by the generosity of this organization. It is a genuine pleasure to work with a group who's sole goal is to bring happiness to the men and women in this world who suffer from Cancer.

In June 2011, I was invited to photograph a lovely charity event for New York's Branch of the StreetWise Partners. The event was held in this fabulous little art gallery with an amazing spiral staircase leading to an upstairs library full of {sky} light, loads of delicious food, a collection of friendly people, and fabulous silent auction choices. I am so glad that I had the chance to donate my time to this fabulous organization.

Cloud computing is the latest technology to sweep the country. It seems like everyone is talking about 'the cloud' – commercials are promoting 'let's go to the cloud'; Kramer is screaming to 'invest in the cloud'; my parents are asking 'what is the cloud?'. So, it is understandable that when I was offered a chance to work on a Cloud project, that I jumped right on board. It was a real pleasure to spend 15 months (2010-2011) working with AT&T on their new cloud service offerings – working for a Fortune 500 company is an experience not to be missed.

I was invited to photograph Gilda's Club of New York's Juliet Supper Club Event on Thursday, April 7, 2011. And after spending an evening with these men and women who so generously donate their time fundraising for such a terrific cause, I just had to share some information about this organization, and also some of my favorite shots from the event.
The organization was named/and in honor of Gilda Radner — of SNL fame — who sadly lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer in 1989. Ever since this organization has been raising money to not only provide care for Cancer patients in need but to make sure that 'No one should have to face Cancer alone.' The fabulous event I attended last Thursday helped to raise over $15,000 and did so in a fun and fashionable way.

Ever since I started with with the Edison Innovation Foundation in 2007, I have been reassured that 'Thomas Edison is the world gold standard for invention and innovation.' I have been bombarded with quotes by this brilliant man, surrounded by his personal journals and a myriad of his inventions, and have even toured his historical (and very large) home. But most importantly, I have had the chance to work with a group a people who really believe in someone, and work incredibly hard to maintain and enhance their hero's legacy.
Old rusted wheels, a worn and used scrabble set, glass beads connected whimsically together via wire … you may call these sights garbage. You may call these sights plain. You may call these sights boring. I, however, call them art.
As a designer, color and shape play an abnormally large part in my waking life. When you look at the sky, you may say it is blue whereas I may refer to it as Pantone #632. When you look at your dog, you may see a dear yet hairy friend whereas I see the circles and squares and rectangles and diamonds I could use to draw my dear friend in Adobe Illustrator. I find that my friends who are mother's view the world looking to avoids dangers for their child; and I find my friends who are New Yorkers tend not to look at anything directly but seem to see everything around them. So, here is a little peak into the way I see things – in an explosion of color and shape.
Some people 'doodle' on bit of notebook paper and napkins, but I doodle virtually. I can get lost in my virtual world – with my computer blasting Fiona Apple, or Michael Buble, or Eminem – and slowly shapes turn into faces and faces become characters.

Richard Greene's Thunder Capital made impressive gains in October from investments in three Canadian uranium mining companies.
In October, Thunder Capital Management's bets on uranium mining companies earned the small Clearwater, Fla. hedge fund the top monthly return in the AR database. The firm's Thunder Energy Partners Fund rose 28.2% for the month. Uranium, the chief element used in civilian nuclear power plants, is currently trading at $57 a pound, and due to an increased demand for the element around the world as more power plants are being constructed, founder and portfolio manager Richard Greene believes the price of uranium will continue to rise.
Operating with this view, Thunder gained another 23% through November 11. Still, the year has not been easy for the firm, which manages less than $10 million and has been down seven out of ten months in 2010. Thunder...

Luck o' the Irish Cheesecake Recipe
A highlight of the St. Patrick's Day party in Mary Berger's family is her aunt's special dessert. "Every year, she serves this elegant cheesecake all of us look forward to," Mary relates from Bernville, Pennsylvania. "I was delighted when she passed along the recipe to me. The combination of chocolate and peppermint quickly becomes a favorite of everyone who tries it."
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 6 drops green food coloring
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided
- Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, milk, extract and food coloring until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour onto crust. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 1 hour or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; run a knife around edge of pan to loosen. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
- Trace a small shamrock pattern onto a piece of paper; cut out and set aside. In a microwave, melt remaining chocolate chips. Fill plastic bag with melted chocolate; cut a small hole in a corner of the bag. Place shamrock pattern on a baking sheet; place a large piece of waxed paper over pattern. Pipe a chocolate shamrock onto waxed paper, following the pattern. Move waxed paper and repeat to make several more shamrocks.
- Place in the freezer until hardened, about 4 minutes. Carefully remove shamrocks and arrange on cheesecake. Yield: 8-10 servings.

I love the idea of this recipe, however, the base of the cheesecake is only cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. This doesn't give it the cheesecake texture I am looking for. The flavor was good, I will make it again with some variations to the base for a better texture!
