Wide-eyed, overwhelmed and, admittedly, a bit smug. That sums up how we felt for the first few hours, on our first ever trip to Las Vegas. I'd like to say that we didn't let the stereotypical notions of Vegas cloud our judgement upon arriving in Sin City, but our entrance at the Vdara Hotel was pretty much scripted by Todd Phillips himself: pull up in our Chevy Suburban, chuck the keys to the valet, high five an Alexander Hamilton for his troubles and stroll in to the tune of Kanye West's 'Can't tell me nothing' for the first cold ones of the trip.
Surprisingly, there is more to do in Vegas than the adult-orientated night time activities that first come to mind, but I'll get to that in a bit, as the first few hours were somewhat textbook. First thing on the list, enthusiastically play and lose it all. My travelling companions and I had been playing for money on every golf round of our West Coast trip up until this point, and the deal was that the unanimous winner had to put all winnings on red or black upon arrival More...

As I see it, Porto and its golf is the older brother of the Portuguese family and it is only now that it is starting to receive the accolades and reputation it deserves as a great golfing destination. With a combination of cultural, historical and modern options to choose from I was eager to find out myself what I had been missing out on all these years.
With great flight times and access to Porto in a couple of hours I was ready to make the short journey to the first golf course. I had heard great things about Estela golf course and seen stunning images. Being a fan of links golf I was keen to see how true this links was? Within the 30 minutes of getting into the car and arriving at the course it was clear to see the answer would be very and that my golf ball could be visiting the North Atlantic on a number of tee shots. We were fortunate to play the course in rather tame conditions but a tough test still ensued. Some fairways, tighter than Mouses' ear holes and faster than rats up drainpipes demanded excellence off the tee with the only real rest bite being that the immaculate greens More...
It's not often you find yourself surrounded by crystal clear blue seas and white sandy beaches encroaching onto the green carpet fairways, but in Mauritius this is becomes the norm. If you're not surrounded by beautiful and idyllic ocean scenery then you will be sure to find a dramatic mountainous landscape.
I was lucky enough to recently find myself ditching the thermals and seeking the sun on this beautiful island in the Indian Ocean. With a direct flight from London, I was soon checking in at my hotel - the 5* Anahita Resort, welcomed with a refreshing cocktail and ice cold flannel. It was still early in the day (thanks to a great overnight flight), so it was straight onto the course for me – that's the beauty of the resorts in Mauritius, complimentary daily green fees come as standard in most hotel packages; it would have been rude not to really!

Walking to the 18th tee in another sodden monthly medal I felt the familiar pang of desperation to book my next golfing getaway. It's the topic of many a post-round chat, and trips to the likes of La Manga or Vilamoura are impressive enough, but golfing in the USA has a whole other ring to it.
In December 2013, two colleagues and I embarked on what can only be described as a marathon east coast USA golf tour. After flying in to Charlotte, NC we gradually made our way down the coast, stopping off at various 5* resorts (it would have been rude not to play a round or two - when in Rome and all that…). The weather hadn't been too pleasant in the Carolinas, but upon entering the sunshine state of Florida low and behold the sun was beaming down on us. We were due to spend three days exploring the North East Coast and we couldn't wait to get going: Home of the World Golf Hall of Fame, THE PLAYERS, and some of the world's finest golf courses, Florida's 'First Coast of Golf' ticks all the boxes.
First stop was Omni Amelia Island Plantation, located right at the North East tip of the state. This part of the overall tour was definitely one of our favourites. The spiel: Striking live oak trees with cascading Spanish moss dominate the inland scenery, whilst beautiful white sand beaches lay but a stone's throw away. There are plenty of restaurant options, swimming pools and activities to keep you occupied on non-golfing days (is there such a thing?). Fernandina Beach is the local town, which has a few great bars if you're looking to unwind in the evenings. Now back to the important stuff, there are two courses within the resort – Oak Marsh and Ocean Links. Each course offers a unique challenge – Oak Marsh is a parkland course weaving in and out of the marshland while Ocean Links is a tighter course played right next to the beach which requires a bit more strategy. Both courses are only open to residents of the hotel ensuring they will always be in superb condition.More...

Having never been to Gran Canaria, I was certainly intrigued and excited to discover what it had to offer. Many friends and colleagues have experienced golf on the island with glowing reports to hand and the following year's golf break already pencilled in. Combine that with the accolade of Europe's best golf destination of the year in 2013 I was itching to tee it up in the sunshine on some of Europe's finest.
After a comfortable flight of only 4 hours, a few golf magazines and a handful of good tips logged to keep me in good stead for the coming days, the plane landed. From Las Palmas airport, a short transfer was in store to our base the 5* Sheraton Salobre Golf Resort and Spa. With large modern rooms, balconies with scenic views, great dining options and fantastic leisure facilities this was going to be the perfect location to relax after tales of fortune on the course or to lick ones wounds. Being able see the two courses from my balcony I had a feeling it could be the latter. More...

A weekend playing golf, dining out and consuming copious Spanish wine…where do I sign?!
The trip began at London Heathrow Terminal 5, all 8 of us, three pints in 45 minutes and before we knew it, we were comfortably seated, 10,000 feet up and climbing, sipping a gin and tonic courtesy of BA.
Our destination was the up-and-coming golf region Costa Dorada, located an hour or so south of Barcelona, with our hotel based in the scenic coastal town of Cambrils.
The itinerary included two rounds of golf at Lumine Golf Club, with its two Greg Norman designed courses, and a round on the prestigious El Prat Golf Club on the outskirts of Barcelona.
On arrival at Barcelona airport we were already one set of clubs down, but we didn't let this diminish our anticipation and excitement. Fully stocked up on cans of Estrella we were whisked off by our transfer company down to Cambrils.
A very sociable 10 o'clock tee time the following morning ensued and after an eclectic range session, we were off to the 1st tee of the Hills course, a narrow fairway More...

Kiefer 6-4, 6-3 Kiefer double faults to give Roddick match point (he's had 7 doubles in the whole match); Roddick ducks the volley :rolleyes: Kiefer knocks the ball at deuce right at Roddick, nearly hitting him in a very bad place ;) and misses!! Kiefer misses the ball long on match point TheBoiledEgg 08-07-2002, 07:13 PM Gonzo 7-6 2-0 :) TennisHack 08-07-2002, 07:17 PM Except for the one lapse of concentration at the beginning of the second set, Roddick played solidly. There were some long rallies, some of which Kiefer won by a Roddick unforced error. Kiefer showed signs of life in the first set but went downhill after that; the second break in the second set broke him. He was kicking his chair on the changeover. I suppose he had his revenge on that deuce point in his last serve game (though he missed the baseline when Roddick jumped out of the way).

Blake 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 (tons of breaks) Cliff: Juan Carlos, first of all, well-played tonight. Tell us about the difference of getting off of the clay courts in Europe and coming up now, heading toward the US Open on the hard courts. Tell us about the adjustment and how you're doing. JCF: I'm doing good here in hard court right now, but you know it's very difficult to come to the clay court seasons. We play a lot of tournaments in clay court and we came to the United States, you know it's different hours and everything is different. But, you know, we try to play my best and today I think I play a great match. Patrick: Juan Carlos, talk about Roland Garros, where you played such an incredible match with Agassi in the quarters, a lot of us thought you would win the final (JCF :rolleyes:, LOL!). How did you feel losing that final and knowing that you've been one of the best clay courters the last couple years? JCF (hazy smile): I feel a little bit sad, you know, after the final, but you know, I think I played a great two weeks, I played the first time again[st] Agassi and I think I played very good match. You know, the second day I fell down and I turned my ankle, and I thought was impossible to-- to still in the tournament, finally, I could, I still in the tournament, and I think I play very very good tennis. Cliff: Juan Carlos, asess James Blake's game for us, please. Asess his game. JCF: I think he has a very good forehand, and also very good movement in the court, and, you know, I think he plays very good on all surface: grass court, hard court, and also in clay court, because I think that he beat quarterfinals in Rome, and I think it's very good result for him. And I think he's right now in United States and he tries to play his best level here today, but I think I play better than him today. Patrick: Now tomorrow, Juan Carlos, you play another young American, a different style, but Taylor Dent. Do you know about him, and what kind of match will that be? JCF: I saw the first time against Hewitt in Wimbledon, and I think he went to five sets against Hewitt, so I thi nk he play it very good. And I think he has a very good first serve, very strong, very fast, and he goes to the net all the time. So, you know, it's one more match where I try to play good tennis again. Cliff: Help me with this, Juan Carlos--"chavalito"? Patrick? JCF (smiles): Ah, chavalito is-- Cliff: Mosquito? JCF: Yeah, mosquito. Cliff: Well done, thank you. JCF: Okay. Patrick: Yes, well done, Juan Carlos. JCF: Thank you, thank you.

Andretti team looking sharp at Indy
INDIANAPOLIS -- With 33 entries competing for 33 places on the grid, the typical "bumping" that is part of Indianapolis 500 lore was nonexistent in 2012.
Ed Carpenter filled the traditional 33-car field shortly after 2 Sunday afternoon, leaving the track open for nearly four hours of free practice.
The lack of urgency about being bumped led to some teams accepting qualifying speeds well off Ryan Briscoe's 226.484 mph pole-winning pace. Bryan Clauson and Simona De Silvestro qualified in the 214 mph range, while Jean Alesi managed only 210 mph in his Lotus-powered machine.
Rookie Clauson topped 224 mph in practice and showed impressive pace all week, but during his pole day qualifying run, he claimed the dubious honor of being the first driver to crash a Dallara DW12 at speed on an oval. His 214 mph run was the result of being conservative with equipment for the cash-strapped Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing team.
The lack of pace displayed by De Silvestro and Alesi, with their underpowered Lotus engines, is a more worrying concern for the race.
INDYCAR rules require competitors to maintain a lap time within 105 percent of the leader, which calculates to about a 10 mph difference at Indianapolis.
INDYCAR race director Beaux Barfield said Sunday that he will closely monitor the Lotus cars' ability to run at a safe speed during the Indy 500.
"Everyone is paying close attention, and that kind of puts more pressure on me to be on it very actively," Barfield said. "It's a very important rule that's there for safety reasons, because the speed differential at a place like this can be dramatic if a car is too far off the pace.
"I'm certainly willing, based on the two Lotus drivers' ability, to let them start the race and see how it plays out and see what their race pace is compared to everybody else," Barfield added. "We'll do what we need to do to keep them up to speed or get them out of the way."
Alesi, the 47-year-old former Formula One driver, earned praise from IndyCar Series regulars for his attitude and professionalism. But he and De Silvestro know they'll have to work hard to avoid being moving chicanes if the race settles into a long green-flag run.
"I'll try to be as much out of the way as possible, because I know when you have a fast car it's annoying when somebody is that much slower," De Silvestro said. "We all respect each other. I just have to do my job to be quick but not be in the way, too."
While Penske Racing took pole position and Ganassi Racing struggled (with a helping hand from Honda), Andretti Autosport quietly stole the show during the build-up to the Indianapolis 500.
Michael Andretti's usual three-car lineup has expanded to five entries for the season's biggest race, with Sebastian Saavedra and Ana Beatriz joining regulars Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti and James Hinchcliffe.
Several Andretti cars often ran in tandem during practice during the week, working on race seutp, but in high-boost trim for qualifying, the AA camp also showed impressive speed, qualifying 2-3-4 behind pole winner Ryan Briscoe.
Hinchcliffe led the main qualifying session Saturday and came within about nine inches of taking pole position during the Fast Nine shootout, falling on the wrong side of the closest margin between first and second on the grid in the 100-year history of the Indianapolis 500.
With a series of quality performances to start the season, Hinchcliffe has quickly made everyone forget who used to drive the GoDaddy-sponsored Indy car. The 2011 IndyCar Series rookie of the year lies third in the standings four races into his sophomore campaign.
Briscoe's four-lap, 10-mile Indy qualifying run was 0.023 faster than Hinchcliffe's, for an average speed of 226.484 mph versus 226.481.
"226.484, those numbers will haunt me for the rest of my life," Hinchcliffe said with his usual deadpan humor. "Yes, I've thought long and hard about how those 10 miles unfolded and where that could have been."
When it was known as Andretti Green Racing, AA dominated the IndyCar Series in 2004, '05 and '07, winning championships with drivers Tony Kanaan, Dan Wheldon and Dario Franchitti.
The 2008 and '09 seasons were especially fallow for the Indianapolis-based team, and while it won races in 2010 and '11, AA still took a back seat to the dominant Ganassi and Penske teams.
AA didn't win any of the four road races that opened 2012, but its drivers were regularly contending for podium finishes. Still, Indianapolis would prove a crucial test, because qualifying at IMS was a humbling experience for Andretti Autosport in 2011.
AA struggled for speed so badly at Indy last year that Andretti and Danica Patrick barely made the show while Hunter-Reay and Mike Conway flat out failed to qualify.
This year, the Andretti cars were Indianapolis front-runners all week. In addition to qualifying 2-3-4, AA claimed four of the fastest seven speeds on Fast Friday, led by Marco Andretti's 227.540 mph scorcher.
"What a difference a year makes," Andretti commented after collecting a $10,000 check for fastest time of the day. "It's pretty ironic because last year we struggled to just get into the show. The credit goes to the guys for working so hard, and my engineer Allen McDonald has a lot of faith in me and vice-versa.
"Obviously the five of us [drivers] work together as well, but most of the credit is down to the guys," he added. "We learned attention to detail last year just trying to get into the show. But now that we have pace, all those little things put us in position to run for the pole."

A few weeks ago, Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III and his fiancé Rebecca's wedding registry was posted here and several other sites. Redskin fans must really love RG3 because he was flooded with wedding gifts from fans who sent him everything on the list six week before the ceremony is set to take place. RG3 took to his Twitter account to thank his fans for the cool gesture.
Thank you to the Fans who are helping buy ALL the items from our wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond … say.ly/MLw5Rbg

Not everyone thought the flood of wedding gifts was cute. Apparently some of his fans felt that a millionaire NFL QB shouldn't accept the gifts.
I didn't ask the fans to buy me anything. They found it on their own and decided to get what they could. SMH at all these Debbie downers

You know whose really mad right now? The actual wedding guests that have to figure out something else to bring to the wedding.

Agree with JessicaBakes - buying knives is like buying a camera. All the good brands have sharp blades, so the question becomes which feels better in your hand, which cuts at an angle you like, etc. Globals are very, very light, which makes them great for chopping marathons. Their boning knife is also incredibly flexible, so it's my first choice for breaking down chickens or filleting fish. That said, I often find myself passing over the Global chef's knife for the more economical Forschner 10", because I just really like the angle of the blade. It might be worth buying a couple somewhere that'll let you try them out and return if you don't like. Pretty sure Williams Sonoma allows it. No amount of comparison shopping stands up to trying the knives out in your kitchen.
Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I have what I am comfortable with at home (a mish mash of hand me downs from my dad and new ones). It is good to know that the Globals are lightweight. At home, I like a little heft to my knives. I am planning a knife shopping day and will check on W & S policy. It is so true about trying knives out! Thank you!

No move to cut rice pledging price
Reports that the Ministry of Commerce would propose a reduction in the pledging price of non-glutinous rice on Friday were incorrect, Wiboonluk Ruamluk, director general of the Internal Trade Department, said on Thursday.
- Published: 28/02/2013 at 12:51 PM
- Newspaper section: news
Ms Wiboonluk said there was no meeting of the National Rice Policy Committee scheduled on Friday, March 1, as was reported by some media.
The rice panel would meet in mid-March, she said.
She said the Ministry of Commerce, ex-officio secretary of the committee, was still gathering information and hearing opinions from all parties, including academics who want the ministry to review the set ceiling pledging prices of rice.
The gathered information and suggestions would be forwarded to the committee meeting for consideration when making a decision on the rice pledging price, she added.
Commerce Minister Boonsong Teriyapirom, who is now in overseas, had expressed concern about the reports and had ordered the Internal Trade Department to clarify the issue, Ms Wiboonluk said.

After resting, pick up the trot in the half-seat position, off the horse's back but not rising up and down. Let your joints absorb the horse's motion. For the sake of stability, you can rest your knuckles on the horse's neck in front of the withers at first until your balance becomes secure. When you're comfortable, start rising to the trot in that balance, then after five or six strides return to the half-seat. This repetitive Two Seats exercise increases your comfort and security in each seat, allowing you to switch fluidly from one to the other. Usually riders instinctively assume a 45-degree angle with their upper bodies while in the half-seat, but you can derive more benefits by varying that angle. Try a somewhat more upright position by allowing your knees to flex more forward, your hips to come more under you, your shoulders to come up and your hip joints to be more open. Or, conversely, flex your joints more deeply to lower your torso to a more horizontal position. The Two Seats exercise, done at rising trot and half-seat in any of these positions, will substantially improve your balance and stability. As you learn to ride with your bones through these unmounted and mounted exercises, you will become more aware of how your body--in all its different parts--can coordinate with the horse's movement. The resulting following seat not only harmonizes with your horse's action, but it is the pathway for clear, precise directives that your horse will willingly obey. This article originally appeared as an excerpt of the book "Centered Riding 2: Further Exploration," in the June 2001 issue of EQUUS magazine.

She is familiar to many viewers as Tony Soprano's mistress Gloria Trillo in the HBO series The Sopranos. Sharon Tate is interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, California, with her son, Paul Richard Polanski, in her arms. Annabella Sciorra (born March 24, 1964 in Wethersfield, Connecticut) is an Italian-American actress who has starred in a number of films and television series. Sharon's father, Colonel Paul Tate, has since retired from service and has kept a very private life since his daughter's death. The Sopranos (2001 - 2002). Debra has also unsuccessfully lobbied for Sharon to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Reversal of Fortune (1990). After Patti's own death from breast cancer, her older sister Debra assumed a similar role and began attending parole hearings. Jungle Fever (1991). After Doris Tate's death from brain cancer, Sharon's youngest sister, Patti, continued to promote her mother's cause and endlessly attended the parole hearings of her sister's murderers. The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992). Doris Tate became a vocal advocate for victim's rights and for the remainder of her life would strongly campaign against the parole of any of the Manson killers, and she worked closely with other victims of violent crime. The Funeral (1996). The scale of panic escalated when a sensationalist media released details of Manson family plans to murder other celebrities including Welsh singer Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen (who had been a close friend of Jay Sebring), Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. What Dreams May Come (1998). The murder of Sharon Tate and her friends, caused a panic throughout Beverly Hills and many celebrities began to implement the extreme measures of home and personal security that have become common practice in modern Hollywood. Chasing Liberty (2004). At around 12:30, Tate, Jay Sebring, Folger, Frykowski, and a teenaged boy named Steven Parent were killed by members of Charles Manson's "cult", who took the five by surprise. Frykowski fell asleep on the couch, Folger retired to her room to read a book, and Sebring and Tate were in her room having a deep conversation. After dining they returned home. After napping in the late afternoon, Tate, Folger, Frykowski, along with Sebring all visited the El Coyote restaurant for a meal. The sex of the child was unknown at that time. Tate was lonely, but eagerly awaiting the birth of her child. She was two weeks away from her son's birth and was living in a house with Abigail Folger and Folger's boyfriend, Holocaust survivor Wojciech Frykowski, with whom Folger was reportedly growing tired. According to friends, Tate spent August 8, 1969, in a funk. Polanski was due to return on August 12 to 10050 Cielo Drive for his child's birth after completing his work in London. She returned from London to Los Angeles, on July 20, 1969, after traveling alone on the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 due to her pregnancy. Tate made her last publicity shoot in London for the movie Twelve Plus One Chairs. In the pictures she is holding her stomach on the stairwell of her London home with Roman, lying on the floor surrounded by baby clothes, holding a baby sweater in her car, and opening baby shower gifts. After filming, Tate returned to London to be with Polanski, who was making preparations for his film "Day of the Dolphin." While there she posed for photographer Terry O'Neil. Tate rested between takes and never asked for special treatment. Filming was hard as Tate had a lot of action scenes and running around was hard on her swollen feet. Although Polanski had reservations about her filming a movie during her pregnancy, Tate reassured him that she would be finished the film by the time she was too pregnant to continue. By March of 1969 Tate was due to leave for Italy to begin working on the film Twelve Plus One Chairs. Their home had been previously occupied by record producer Terry Melcher and his girlfriend actress Candice Bergen. In February 1969 Polanski and Tate, who before moving into Patty Duke's house were living from hotel to hotel, moved into their first official home at 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon. Tate became pregnant near the end of 1968, but initially kept the news to herself. She was also runner-up in the Motion Pictures Herald's poll for "The Star of Tomorrow.". By the fall of 1968, Tate was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Newcomer, but did not win. Lee and Tate became friends and she invited Lee to their home so he could teach martial arts to Polanski. In this film she performed her own stunts and was taught martial arts by Bruce Lee. Her first movie was The Wrecking Crew, in which she played alongside legend Dean Martin. The foursome were joined by Jay Sebring and others in their Hollywood circle of friends. Although Tate reportedly could barely tolerate Frykowski, she had a good relationship with Folger. In the summer of 1968, Polanski introduced Tate to his friend Wojciech Frykowski who had just moved from New York to Los Angeles with his girlfriend coffee heiress Abigail Folger. Tate agreed, feeling it was the only way she could take charge of her career and the roles she would take. She was only allowed out of her contract after she agreed to pay out 25% of her earnings in the next 4 years. She ended her contract with Ransohoff. Although she was married to the acclaimed Polanski, Tate never asked to be in any of his films. In January 1968 Polanski proposed to Tate in London and they were married on January 20, 1968, with her Valley of the Dolls costar Barbara Parkins as her maid of honor. Their home became the "place to be" and they were very candid about everything. In 1967 Tate and Polanski returned to London, and were by this time known as the "Groovy Couple of the Year" in movie magazines. The session was cutting edge and much publicity for the film Valley of the Dolls was created because of it. While visiting Polanski one day, Tate posed for publicity pictures for Esquire magazine. When Sinatra served divorce papers to Farrow on the set of the movie (in view of the whole cast and crew) Tate and Polanski brought Farrow into their circle of friends. Tate would, however, visit the New York set and become friends with the movie's star Mia Farrow, who was married to Frank Sinatra at the time. Although Tate was dating Polanski, he did not cast her in his new film Rosemary's Baby, a film which would become a huge hit. But it didn't stop Tate from willingly talking to the press afterwards, which her costars avoided. Despite the serious tone of the book, the film became an unintentional comedy. The director apparently enjoyed humiliating Tate, and Duke and Parkins bickered. Due to tensions on the set, filming was difficult. She was cast alongside such names as Judy Garland (soon replaced by Susan Hayward), Patty Duke, and Barbara Parkins, but reportedly hated the book and movie, but participated hoping to be eventually offered better roles. Despite her misgivings about type-casting she still took the role of Jennifer in the movie Valley of the Dolls. In the film Tate performs her own stunts, but began to hate filming the movie because she was not only separated from Polanski, but reportedly felt she was being type-cast as a "blonde sex goddess.". After filming wrapped, Tate began shooting a movie alongside Tony Curtis, called Don't Make Waves. The trio became friends in the end. After a meeting with Polanski, Sebring ended his relationship with Tate, parting amicably. Reportedly Tate did not initially like Polanski, as he was an absolute perfectionist, but later the two were eventually romantically linked. Tate would spend time at Sebring's salon while he worked. After filming Eye of the Devil in Europe, Sharon was given a part in acclaimed director Roman Polanski's movie The Fearless Vampire Killers. Tate around this time had met and fell in love with Jay Sebring, a Hollywood hair stylist, whom Tate's parents became impressed with. But soon The Eye of the Devil, also known as 13, was brought to her. Producers felt Tate looked too mature for the part, and it was given to another actress. She soon was auditioning for the part of Liesel in The Sound of Music along with Patty Duke, Mia Farrow, and Lesley Ann Warren. After much pushing for new parts from Tate, Ransohoff felt it was time for him to give her bigger parts. However, their relationship soon ended, with Forquet walking away. Their love affair was rocky but intense, and Forquet proposed to Tate, who accepted. Both her parents and Ransohoff felt he would stand in her way of becoming a star. Around this time Sharon began dating Phillippe Forquet, a French actor. She would become known as "Million Dollar Baby," one of the last studio stars. Determined to make her a star, Ransohoff paid out over 1 million dollars in training and preparation. She also began making appearances on other shows such as Mr. Ed and The Man from U.N.C.L.E, and she was also cast for a short time on Petticoat Junction. After becoming a Filmways client, Tate was signed on to appear as a secretary on The Beverly Hillbillies. Her parents, wanting to make Tate's dreams come true, allowed her to become a ward of the court as she was under 21 years old. After being introduced to Martin Ransohoff, chairman of Filmways, Tate was on her way to becoming a star. In between jobs she performed as a Kelly Kalanki Wine Girl and shared an apartment with fellow actress Sheilah Wells. She was soon performing in commercials and modeling for famous photographers. Moving back to the United States, Tate hitchhiked most of the way to Hollywood, and paid a visit to Beymer's agent. Having made a good impression, whenever there was a film being made there Tate would always get a call. She began to take part in the film, Barrabas, as an extra. Beymer gave his agent's card to Sharon. While living in Verona, Italy, Tate met Richard Beymer, who encouraged her to pursue acting and modeling as a full-time career. Her very first jobs included modeling. At six months of age Sharon won her first beauty contest; she was crowned Miss Tiny Tot of Dallas, Texas. Sharon Tate was born in Dallas, Texas and was the first of three daughters born to Colonel Paul and Doris Tate. Sharon Marie Tate (January 24, 1943 - August 9, 1969) was an American actress and a victim of the Charles Manson murders. Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man (1962) - uncredited.

We recognized net realized capital losses of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $30,000 of net realized capital losses in the first quarter of 2012. The realized losses in 2012 resulted from a $1.6 million loss from our sale of 228,853 shares of GMX common stock at an average price of $3.28, partially offset by the $1.3 million gain from the sale of $10.0 million face amount of EP Energy Senior Unsecured Notes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded net unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments totaling $1.3 million, primarily as a result of a $1.0 million mark-to-market increase in the fair value of our GMX Senior Convertible Notes due 2013, with other net increases in fair value of $0.3 million.
Overall, we had a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $7.6 million, or $0.36 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and, after declaring dividends during the period of $0.16 per common share, our net asset value decreased from $9.57 per common share as of December 31, 2012 to $9.05 per common share as of March 31, 2013.

Maybe if you stopped trying to defend your father and learned to be a law-abiding, informed, educated citizen, people would take you seriously. The fact that you can't even spell the name of the syndrome that your sister has says a lot about your family.
Drug dealers are scum. Learn from the mistakes of others, and live your life such that you don't have your children read your name in a news segment on "insert your crime here".

Doug Baldwin Using 'Lil Wayne' For Motivation (Video)
Post by Takeo Spikes.
Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin has a me against the world mentality, so I'm shocked he didn't quote Tupac in the forum.
Baldwin sat down with former NFL linebacker, Takeo Spikes to discuss his preparation for the Super Bowl. Baldwin always looking to drop a pipe bomb — quoted Lil Wayne by saying, "What's Understood, Don't Need To Be Explained."
Spikes returns to NFL roots, likes what he sees from Bengals
CINCINNATI -- Takeo Spikes knows this place well. It's hard to forget your childhood home, which is what Cincinnati is to Spikes as an NFL player.
But this place hardly looks the same as when Spikes last played here as a member of the Bengals. It's not so much about the physical surroundings at Paul Brown Stadium but rather the vibe of the neighborhood. It's upbeat.

Brandon Spikes becomes instant fan favorite in Buffalo
When Brandon Spikes signed with the Buffalo Bills I knew fans would welcome him with open arms, what I didn't know was how popular he was actually going to be. Spikes quickly became a Bills fan favorite in just a few hours with his behavior on Twitter and this tweet pretty much sums things up:

After exiting the pimped-out nook, I asked Braemer, also an artist, if he had any qualms that serious art lovers might perceive Art Fusion as little more than a glorified flea market for bad art.
"I don't care about that stuff; we are not a pretentious place," he said. "When I learned that a Rothko sold for millions, I painted Rothko Lives and got $2000 for it," he added, motioning to one of his Rothko knockoffs in the window of the Pronto Framing shop across the street.
Braemer won't dicker about the quality of his gallery's art and says with a smile he's happy to negotiate prices.
Art, after all, is a luxury item, he reminds and a serious investment. "Anyone can buy a used car for the price of a painting, but we want people to go home with something they will enjoy so much more."
