Sharon Yvonne Stone (born March 10, 1958) is an American actress, film producer, and former fashion model.
Stone first achieved international recognition for her role in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992) by Paul Verhoeven. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her performance in Casino (1995). She received further acclaim and Golden Globe Award nominations for her roles in The Mighty and The Muse. In 2004, Stone won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in The Practice. She has also appeared in such movies as Alpha Dog, Bobby and, most recently, Lovelace.
Stone was born in Meadville, Pennsylvania, the second of four children of Dorothy (née Lawson), an accountant, and Joseph William Stone, II, a tool and die manufacturer and factory worker.[1][2][3] Stone was considered academically gifted as a child and entered the second grade when she was five years old.[4]
She graduated from Saegertown High School in Saegertown, Pennsylvania in 1975.[3] While attending Edinboro University, Stone won the title of Miss Crawford County, Pennsylvania and was a candidate for Miss Pennsylvania.[3] One of the pageant judges told her to quit school and move to New York City to become a fashion model.[3] In 1977, Stone left Meadville, moving in with an aunt in New Jersey. Within four days of her arrival in New Jersey, she was signed by Ford Modeling Agency in New York.
While living in Europe, she decided to quit modeling and become an actress. "So I packed my bags, moved back to New York, and stood in line to be an extra in a Woody Allen movie," she later recalled.[5] Stone was cast for a brief role in Allen's Stardust Memories (1980),[3] and then had a speaking part a year later in the horror film Deadly Blessing (1981). French director Claude Lelouch cast her in Les Uns et les Autres (1982), starring James Caan.[6] She was on screen for two minutes and did not appear in the credits.
Her next film role was in Irreconcilable Differences (1984), starring Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long, and a young Drew Barrymore. Stone played a starlet who breaks up the marriage of a successful director and his screenwriter wife. In 1984, she appeared in a two-part episode of Magnum, P.I., titled "Echoes of the Mind", where she played identical twins, one a love interest of Tom Selleck's character. Through the remainder of the 1980s, she had roles in such films as King Solomon's Mines (1985) and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987), and played Steven Seagal's wife in Above the Law (1988). In 1988, she played Janice Henry for the filming of the miniseries War and Remembrance.
Her appearance in Dutch film director Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger gave Stone's career a boost.[3] To coincide with the film's release, she posed nude for Playboy, showing off the muscles she developed in preparation for the film (she lifted weights and learned taekwondo). In 1999, she was rated among the 25 sexiest stars of the century by Playboy.[7] In another Verhoeven film was the role that made her a star, playing Catherine Tramell, a brilliant, bisexual, alleged serial killer, in Basic Instinct (1992).[3] Several actresses at the time turned down the role, mostly because of the nudity required.[8] In the film's most notorious scene, Tramell is being questioned by the police, and she crosses and uncrosses her legs, exposing her genitalia, which are not covered by underwear.[9] According to Stone, she agreed to film the flashing scene with no underwear, and although she and Verhoeven had discussed the scene from the beginning of production, she was unaware just how explicit the infamous shot would be:[10]
"I knew that we were going to do this leg-crossing thing and I knew that we were going to allude to the concept that I was nude, but I did not think that you would see my vagina in the scene. Later, when I saw it in the screening I was shocked. I think seeing it in a room full of strangers was so disrespectful and so shocking, so I went into the booth and slapped him and left."[11][12]
Stone claimed in an earlier interview, however, that "it was so fun" watching the film for the first time with strangers.[10] Verhoeven has denied all claims of trickery and said, "As much as I love her, I hate her, too, especially after the lies she told the press about the shot between her legs, which was a straight lie".[13] Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, who later befriended the actress, also claimed in his memoir, Hollywood Animal, that the actress was fully aware of the level of nudity involved.
Following Basic Instinct, she was listed by People magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.[14] In 1992, photographer George Hurrell took a series of photographs of Stone, Sherilyn Fenn, Julian Sands, Raquel Welch, Eric Roberts, and Sean Penn. In November 1995, Stone received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. That same year, Empire chose her as one of the 100 sexiest stars in film history. In October 1997, she was ranked among the top 100 film stars of all time by Empire.[15]
In 1995, she received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Motion Picture for her role as Ginger in Martin Scorsese's Casino, in which she starred opposite Robert De Niro.[3] She also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for the role.[3] The same year, she starred opposite Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, and Leonardo DiCaprio in the Sam Raimi western The Quick And The Dead. Also in 1995, she was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award.[16] Stone starred opposite Ellen DeGeneres in the 2000 HBO film If These Walls Could Talk 2, in which she played a lesbian trying to start a family. For her work in 'Walls', she was again recognized by Women in Film, this time with the Lucy Award.[16]
In 2001, Stone was linked to a biopic of the German film director Leni Riefenstahl. Prospective director, Paul Verhoeven, and Riefenstahl herself, favored Stone to portray Riefenstahl in the film.[17][18] Verhoeven, with whom Stone had worked previously, pulled out of the project, reportedly because he wanted to hire a more expensive screenwriter than the producers did.[19][20]
Stone was hospitalized on September 29, 2001 for a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which was diagnosed as a vertebral artery dissection rather than the more common ruptured aneurysm, and treated with an endovascular coil embolization.[21]
In 2003, she appeared in three episodes from the eighth season of The Practice. For her performances, she received an Emmy Award[22] for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Also in 2003, she appeared in a James Woods-directed American Stroke Association television commercial to raise awareness of the symptoms of stroke. This commercial was also shown in Canada courtesy of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.[23] Stone attempted a return to the mainstream with roles in the films Cold Creek Manor (2003) with Dennis Quaid, and Catwoman (2004) with Halle Berry; however, both films were critical and commercial flops.
After years of litigation, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction was released on March 31, 2006. A reason for a long delay in releasing the film was reportedly Stone's dispute with the filmmakers over the nudity in the film; she wanted more, while they wanted less. A group sex scene was cut in order to achieve an R rating from the MPAA for the U.S. release; the controversial scene remained in the UK version of the London-based film. Stone told an interviewer, "We are in a time of odd repression and if a popcorn movie allows us to create a platform for discussion, wouldn't that be great?"[24] Despite an estimated budget of $70 million, it placed only 10th in gross on its debut weekend with a meager $3,200,000, and was subsequently declared a bomb.[25] It ultimately ran in theaters for only 17 days and finished with a total domestic gross of under $6 million. Despite the failure of Basic Instinct 2, Stone has said that she would love to direct and act in a third Basic Instinct film.
She appeared in the 2006 drama film Alpha Dog opposite Bruce Willis, playing Olivia Mazursky, the mother of a real-life murder victim. Stone wore a fatsuit for the role.[26] In February 2007, Stone found her role as a clinically depressed woman in her latest film, When a Man Falls in the Forest, uplifting, as it challenged what she called "Prozac society." "It was a watershed experience," she said. "I think that we live in a... Prozac society where we're always told we're supposed to have this kind of equilibrium of emotion. We have all these assignments about how we're supposed to feel about something."[27]
In December 2006, she co hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway together with Anjelica Huston. The concert was in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus for his social contribution in Bangladesh through Grameen Bank.[28] That same year, she appeared in the last episode of the Turkish TV series Kurtlar Vadisi (Valley of the Wolves) along with Andy Garcia.[29]
On January 5, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported Stone's impending appearance in four episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in April,[30] and then included in a review on the 29th of that April such descriptions of Stone's performance as a "great presence", and having "had to revive her best ... tone to sell hokey lines" in a series it described as "mawkish and overwrought."[31] Stone portrayed Jo Marlowe, a former cop turned prosecutor. Stone plays a dermatologist seeking a ménage à trois in the Woody Allen-John Turturro film Fading Gigolo, which premiered in September 2013.[32]
In 2014, Stone was cast in Agent X, a television action-drama series to air on the TNT channel. She will star as Natalie Maccabee, America's first female Vice President who takes the office after the death of her Senator husband. Her first priority is to protect the Constitution with the help of a secret operative designated "Agent X".[33]
On January 28, 2005, Stone helped solicit pledges for $1 million in five minutes for mosquito nets in Tanzania,[34] turning a panel on African poverty into an impromptu fund-raiser at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Many observers, including UNICEF, criticized her actions by claiming that Stone had reacted instinctively to the words of Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa, because she had not done her research on the causes, consequences and methods of preventing malaria.[35]
Of the $1 million pledged, only $250,000 was actually raised. In order to fulfill the promise to send $1 million worth of bed nets to Tanzania, UNICEF contributed $750,000.[36] This diverted funds from other UNICEF projects.[36] According to prominent economist Xavier Sala-i-Martín, officials are largely unaware of what happened with the bed nets. Some were delivered to the local airport.[36] These reportedly were stolen and later resurfaced as wedding dresses on the local black market.[35][36]
Stone was criticized over her comments in an exchange on the red carpet with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News during the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 25, 2008. When asked about the 2008 Sichuan earthquake she remarked:
Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don't like that. And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that Karma? When you're not nice then the bad things happen to you?[37]
One of China's biggest cinema chains reacted to Stone's comments by declaring it would not show her films in its theaters.[38] The founder of the UME Cineplex chain and the chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, Ng See-Yuen, called Stone's comments "inappropriate", and said the UME Cineplex chain would no longer present her films.[38] Christian Dior advertisements featuring Stone's image were dropped from all ads in China amid the public uproar.[39] Stone was removed from the 2008 Shanghai International Film Festival guest list, and the event's organizers considered banning the actress permanently.[40]
Dior China had originally posted an apology in Stone's name, but Stone later denied making the apology during an interview with the New York Times, saying "I'm not going to apologize. I'm certainly not going to apologize for something that isn't real and true – not for face creams," although she did admit that she had "sounded like an idiot."[41] However, after the interview, Stone released a statement entitled "In my own words by Sharon Stone" in which she said "I could not be more regretful of that mistake. It was unintentional. I apologize. Those words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone."[42] While Stone cited the Dalai Lama as her "good friend" when she made the remark at the Cannes film festival, the Dalai Lama has reportedly distanced himself by saying of her only, "yes, I've met that lady".[43][44]
For many years, Stone maintained that she had an IQ of 148[45] and was a member of Mensa,[46][47] but in April 2002, she admitted she had never been a member of that society.[46][48]
In March 2006, Stone traveled to Israel to promote peace in the Middle East through a press conference with Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres.[49] In 2013, she referred to Peres as her "mentor".[50] On October 23, 2013, Stone received the Peace Summit Award for her work with HIV/AIDS sufferers.[51]
Stone currently lives in Beverly Hills, California and owns a ranch in New Zealand.[52] She married television producer Michael Greenburg in 1984 on the set of The Vegas Strip War, a television film he produced and she starred in. The couple separated three years later, and their divorce was finalized in 1990.[53]
In 1993, Stone met William J. MacDonald (aka Bill MacDonald) on the set of the film Sliver, which he co-produced. MacDonald left his wife Naomi Baca for Stone and became engaged to her. They separated one year later in 1994.[54] While working on the film The Quick and the Dead in 1995, Stone met Bob Wagner (a second assistant director) and they became engaged. After they separated, Stone returned the engagement ring via FedEx.[55]
On February 14, 1998, Stone married Phil Bronstein, executive editor of the San Francisco Examiner and later San Francisco Chronicle.[56] They adopted a baby son, Roan Joseph Bronstein, in 2000.[57] Bronstein filed for divorce in 2003, citing irreconcilable differences.[58] The divorce became final in 2004,[59] with a judge ruling that Roan should remain primarily with Bronstein, with Stone receiving visitation rights.[58][60]
Stone adopted her second son, Laird Vonne Stone, in 2005,[61] and her third son, Quinn Kelly Stone, in 2006.[53][62]
In 2005, when asked during a television interview for her film Basic Instinct 2 about "life imitating art" (referring to her character's bisexuality), Stone said, "Why not? Middle age is an open-minded period".[63] In 2011, Stone stated on Piers Morgan Tonight that she was never married to George Howe Englund, Jr., despite rumors to the contrary, particularly on the internet.[64]
Stone is a convert to Tibetan Buddhism.[65] She believes in God and is religious by self-description.[66] She is an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church.[67]

My crush is in an open relationship
Q:I enjoy reading your column every day and think that you and your readers could give appropriate guidance about the following situation:
A few months back, I began to realize that I was falling in love with a woman I have known for some time but never got to know well. Being a hopeless romantic, I penned a letter to her stating that I had come to cherish our time/conversation and that I didn't know where our relationship was headed, but that I was so blessed to have her in my life.
She did not respond directly to the letter, though at other points she had told me that I was "endearing in every way" and made me blush (inside and out, I imagine) with other generous (albeit exaggerated) compliments.
Over the following months, we texted every night before we go to bed, hung out after work, talked intimately about life, and generally appeared to be engaged in the process of falling in love as I have come to know it -- the breaking down of barriers and the full sharing of oneself with another.
Yesterday, after playing board games at a local cafe for a few hours after work, she invited me to her apartment. I accepted, not thinking/expecting that anything physical would occur, but with heart aflutter that this was yet another sign of a desire for romance.
After looking at photos/artwork on her bed, I told her, in no uncertain terms, that I had fallen hard for her. She seemed excited to hear this first-hand, but also cautious, because, as it turns out, she is in an open relationship.
Such relationships are not for me (though I certainly do not begrudge others for engaging in them), but I now find myself between a rock and a hard place with two emotions/thoughts: (1) A wish that she had told me about her status earlier so that I could try to emotionally reorient myself (though I admit that I probably could not have stopped falling for her), and, connected with #1, (2) A concern that our relationship, somewhat paradoxically, cannot continue because we are so close, but cannot take the next step.
Should she have said something earlier? Exclusivity isn't important to her but was it reasonable to assume it wouldn't be for me? Do I try to slowly move away from the intimate communications we've been having, so as to create distance while not being reactive?
Thanks for your thoughts and your column
– Befuddled, NYC via Cambridge
A:Yeah, she should have said something about the fact that she was in a relationship, Befuddled. She wasn't considering your feelings. She wasn't treating you well. To be blunt, she was lying.
If you date her, you want to be the only one dating her. It's either you and only you -- or nothing at all. Yes, people are allowed to date more than one person at a time when they're on the hunt for a relationship, but she has already developed real intimacy with you. It's not like you'd be starting your relationship from scratch.
I'm befuddled, too. Tell her how you feel -- including the fact that you're irritated about her lack of honesty. If she can't make you feel safe in a romantic relationship that meets your standards, you're allowed to walk away thoroughly disappointed.
The lesson here is to ask questions. "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Are we falling for each other?" "What do these board games mean to you?" Ask these things sooner than later. You're entitled to answers.
Readers? Should she have disclosed her status? Even if she ends her open relationship, can she be trusted? What happened here? Discuss.

Following some recent questionable behavior, Justin Bieber used Twitter to address his harshest critics and attempted to set the record straight on his partying, relationships and his religion.
Justin Bieber is making sure his critics know that he's "only judged by one power" and he's the only one that Justin must answer to — no one else.
Justin, who was two hours late for his debut concert at the O2 arena in London on March 4, started his Twitter rant on March 6 by saying, "rumors rumors and more rumors. nothing more nothing less. might talk about them 1 day. rt now im just gonna be positive. cant bring me down. im focused on the good things in life. im blessed and not forgetting it. im giving back every day for it. cant phase me. fake stories to sell papers i guess are part of the job. but im a good person. i know that. u cant tell me different."
The 19-year-old singer, who may or may not have had a Twitter meltdown, added, "we know the truth. as long as my family, friends, and fans r with me u can say whatever. we are all equal in God's eyes & we have a responsibility to eachother. so make up stories about fake fines and make no mention of the positive."
Justin Bieber Refers To His Relationship With Ellapaige Roberts-Clarke
Justin also touched upon his choice to go shirtless on numerous occasions and whether or not he's dating Ellapaige Roberts-Clarke, who he's been spending a lot of time with in the UK.
He said, "or say when i came out of my show with my shirt off because after performing for 2 hours i might be sweaty i was going into a club (really?) or any girl i stand next to is my girl or that i dont care, or that i dont feel, or that a 19 year old going to a club in europe is wild… i understand it is part of the job to be judged…but judge me on the facts, judge me on the music, and be careful of the judgement u pass. but know this…im only judged by one power, and i serve him."
Justin Bieber Is Going To Keep Smiling
Justin finished, "so yeah I will continue being me. i will continue to serve, to perform, to care, to love, to smile, to dance, to play, to sing… and u are welcome to join, because i carry no hate. We got to much love for that. Im about the music. Gonna enjoy the day and keep smiling. so should all of u. Much love. i see u #beliebers = i love u."
Following his lengthy Twitter tirade on March 6, the Biebs went out in London wearing a bizarre gas mask.
What do YOU think of Justin's Twitter rant, HollywoodLifers? Do you accept his explanation for his recent behavior?

this is bad. i hope he finds his senses soon. it really saddens me to see him all like this, acting like a douche. going around with his shirt off, his attitude problems and doing wrong. i used to be a major fan but seeing him like this is hard. really hope he finds himself again.

I understand what he is saying, but a gas mask !?! he is a christian,raised as one. His mom went thru hell to bring him to the forefront and he has not forgotten that. he is a typical 19 year old and from the Twitter voicings, I agree with him. Judging an artist comes with the territory and yeah, whenever a male celeb stands next to a female, automatically, some moron makes up a story that he is "dating" her, when in truth, he doesn't even know her !
(Same can be said for another {hot} male celeb… you may have seen him ? He played a glittery vampire…. )
So I totally agree with the young Mr. Beiber…. I just hope he does not turn out like Amy,or Whitney.
Take it slow, Beibs and keep your eyes on the Light.

The Children's Place Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
"We achieved solid sales growth during the second quarter. Our focus on differentiated merchandise assortments has worked well for us all year, and we expect continued momentum during the important back-to-school selling season," commented Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Children's Place. "Despite the continued difficult economic environment, we believe lower apparel costs in the back half coupled with strengthening conversion, transactions and average transaction value, will result in positive comp sales and operating margin expansion in fiscal 2012."
The Company opened 19 stores and closed one, ending the second quarter with 1,080 stores.
Fiscal Year-to-Date
Net sales from continuing operations increased 3% to $799.3 million fiscal year-to-date 2012, compared to $774.3 million for the same period last year. Comparable retail sales increased 1.1% fiscal year-to-date 2012.
GAAP net income for fiscal year-to-date 2012 was $5.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. As adjusted, net income was $12.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $19.3 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Share Repurchase Program During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 336 thousand shares for approximately $15.6 million. During the first half of fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased 713 thousand shares for approximately $34.8 million. At the end of the quarter, there was approximately $34.4 million remaining of the $50 million share repurchase program which was authorized by the Board of Directors in March 2012. Under the 2012 share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions. The Company may suspend or discontinue the program at any time, and may thereafter reinstitute purchases, all without prior announcement.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hoyt takes a bullet this week. Shaw, meanwhile, wonders when the Blooms will grow suspicious of him; and those two deal with a plane that has gone off the radar.
It's off to Lima this week. The Blooms are sent there because an assassination plot has been orchestrated and must be stopped.
It's off to Tuscany for Steven and Samantha this week, as they are tasked with capturing both Xerxes and a painting in which he has concealed a formula for a biological weapon.
Steven and Samantha do battle with a rival spy this week. The mission revolves around a North Korean physicist.
Steven and Samantha head to Ireland and, then to England, this week. They are on a mission to locate an important CIA hard drive, that has gone missing.
An informant says he has information about a device that would compromise the identities of all CIA agents. You can imagine why this is a problem for the Blooms.
This is the second episode of Undercovers. Find out what mission is the focus of "Instructions" via this detailed episode guide.
We meet a seemingly happy, regular couple on the series premiere of Undercovers. But we soon learn they are retired spies pulled back into the game.

Inside-Out Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
To give ice cream the right consistency for spreading, soften it at room temperature, about 30 minutes, or microwave it on high in 10-second increments, testing for softness in between. Don't overdo it: You want it spreadable, not soupy!
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
Source: Everyday Food, June 2007
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon seedless raspberry jam
- 3 pints vanilla ice cream, softened
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated; mix in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, alternately add flour mixture in three parts and buttermilk in two, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix just until smooth (do not overmix).
Pour batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in pan; turn cake out onto a rack, and let cool completely. Using a long serrated knife, halve cake horizontally.
While cake is cooling, combine strawberries and jam in a medium bowl.
Line sides of a 9-inch springform pan with a strip of waxed paper; wrap outside of pan with plastic wrap. Center bottom half of cake in pan, cut side up.
Spread 1 1/2 pints ice cream over top and down around sides. Spread strawberry mixture on ice cream, leaving a 1-inch border. Set top half of cake over it.
Spread remaining ice cream over top and down around sides of cake. Tap cake on counter to help ice cream settle. Smooth top, and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or, covered, up to 2 weeks. To serve, remove plastic from pan, unmold cake, and peel off waxed paper. Let cake rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing.

I love this recipe
zaira2000 14 Jul, 2014
My family liked the twist with this cake. It took some time to get the consistency for the ice cream, but it was great!
slmayo 6 Jun, 2013
We loved this cake, my husband and family all love Strawberries, Ice Cream and cake when you put this combination together was a wonderful experience. Thank you Martha
billymj52 11 Jan, 2013
please explain how to frost the sides of the cake while the cake is in the pan. thank you.
soapylulu 9 Aug, 2010
This turned out AMAZING!!!! It is a bit time consuming and like detroiterchick said you have to plan a bit in advance but it's worth it. Plus you can actually make it days a head of any event since the finished result is frozen.
Chinwag 26 May, 2010
I'm just wondering why the plastic wrap is needed on the outside of the pan?
detroiterchick 28 Jul, 2009
This is a wonderful dessert and was well-received. Just plan accordinlgy, as I found it to be quite time consuming.
spatola 20 Aug, 2008
This was excellent!
MsMarnetta 21 Nov, 2007
I mix my ice cream and fruit, put it in a lined pan and freeze it. Once the cake is cooled and ready for the icing, I pop out the ice cream and place it on top of the cake layer. It fits perfectly and is easy to frost.

Chain Saw Features Tool-less chain tensioning is a convenient feature that allows you to adjust using a mechanism on the unit. A top handle on the unit is a a place to hold and grip the chain saw. Vibration reduction is more commonly found in gas chain saws; and it makes handling the chain saw much easier. Pole chain saws are longer units with the blade on the end of a pole, these have less power but make it easier to reach distant branches. Additional safety features can include chain guards, anti-vibration, and specially activated chain brakes. | Chain Saw Features | Top Handle, Tool-less Chain Tensioning |
Chain Saw Power Source Gas chain saws are typically the most powerful type but they also require the most maintenace because of the engine. Electric chain saws are bound by a cord and may need an extension cord depending on your location. They typically have less power than gas but require less maintenance and create much less polution. Battery powered chain saws combine the environmental benefit and power of electric with the maneuverability of gas. | Chain Saw Power Source | Electric |

Write a ReviewBest Saw I have ever Had.
By Edward Decker from Arkport, NY on May 21, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Practical, Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This is the best electric saw I have ever owned so far. I have had a 12" Black and Decker, and a Remington 14". The Remington was really noisy, and on both of them the chain was always coming loose and the manual oilers did not work. But the Worxs Auto oiling and chain tensioning work great. It cuts fast for an electric, and is fairly quiet. The only Con is the chain derails if it gets pinched. Only takes 30 seconds to put it back on. Safty brake works good too, Just remember to reset it or the saw won't run. I have trimmed a huge oak tree with 10" branches, abought 2 face cord. And cut up a 70' pine up 30" in Diameter. Cut straight down through all 16"s of bar nose and all for each 1st pass, and then down the other side to complete the cut, with no sweat. All in all, It is a great light duty, saw that that would be great for projects around the house or near an electical supply.

As we careen toward the 2012 election cycle, there already is plenty of chatter about intraparty spats up and down the ballot. One in particular -- if it comes to fruition -- has me scratching my head and wondering if the party that just seized control of the U.S. House lost its way on the trip to D.C.
That potential skirmish would pit a right-wing Republican against veteran U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, whose voting record is staunchly GOP but who hasn't shied away from the middle when it comes to the issues upon which he's built his career.
I spent the better part of the last two years working in President ...

The "Masterpiece Collection" of the Nike Kobe Signature Series by John Kim 47 Comments
Kobe needs to add a new predator to go with cheetah, shark, mamba...SEXUAL predator! He got more ho's than room full of Santa's.
December 22, 2011 BY John Kim / 6
"….him [Avar] and his team put it all in the pot in the Nike Kitchen, mix it up, and voila – out pops these."
Kobe Bryant's relationship with Eric Avar could possibly rival the greatest athlete-designer tandems in history – Michael Jordan and Tinker Hatfield. Now seven signature shoes deep (eight, if you count the Nike Hyperdunk, or nine, if you count the Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4), the Nike Zoom Kobe legacy has reached a point where its evolved into new conventions of basketball footwear performance – the interchangeable Attack Fast and Attack Strong cushioning systems. In this video, Kobe and Avar 'pull the curtain back' to discuss the design process behind the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, detailing some key elements and introducing some new colorways (we'll touch on that later) while revisiting some of the older ideas of the Zoom Kobe element that have served as the foundation for the most heralded Nike Basketball signature of our generation. If anything, this video reveals how deeply ingrained Kobe Bryant is inside the design of his own sneaker line, as he and Avar share a few laughs about the design of the Kobe V, talk about his predatory spirit on the court, and the conception of the new Kobe VII pattern/skin.Check out the video and the imagery below and don't forget to cop the Zoom Kobe VII System Supreme in stores right now.

Monday, Aug. 15, 2011 has come and gone, and for the vast majority of outdoor travelers, the day passed by nearly unnoticed.
Yet, for a tiny fraction of the millions of outdoor enthusiasts who visit the Adirondacks annually, Monday was an important date.
It signaled the first day that licenses for the annual big game hunting season went on sale. It was a day that caused these enthusiasts to look back to the past, and to dream forward to the future.
Although the day dawned cloudy, cool and drizzly, it provided nothing but sunshine and warm thoughts in the eyes of most sportsmen.
It was a day that stirred up fond memories of past adventures, which mixed easily with anxious anticipation for future pursuits. Regardless of age and experience, the day is always a celebration of youth and the annual adventures that serve to keep us all young.
I thought about this, as I hiked into the woods to my hunting camp on a rainy, Monday afternoon. It is only a short journey to the small cabin, which offers just few comforts beyond a simple woodstove, and a couple of soft bunks.
Despite such rustic austerity, the camp provides an adequate retreat. Although it isn't located far from the din of civilization, it still provides an adequate escape. Like most camps, it allows me to retreat from the typical cares and concerns of the day, and to slow my pace, and escape the race.
Camps come in all shapes and sizes, but the buildings don't much matter. The physical location is more important than the size or number of structures. A rough camp can be just as comfortable as a Great Camp, since camp is simply a state of mind, and a place in time.
What truly matters is the company we keep, and the commitment to return to camp year after year. The real lure of a camp is the unique draw that continues to bring us back to the woods and waters, from one generation to next.

Texas A&M awards tracker: Week 3
By Sam Khan Jr.
Each week throughout the season, GigEmNation will take a look at the Aggies players that are on awards watch lists and how they fare. Here's a glance at what each player has accomplished through two games after the Aggies' recent win against SMU:
Dustin Harris
, Sr.
Harris appeared to get into a groove in the return game on Saturday. He had six punt returns for 86 yards, including a 36-yard return, a season-high for him. Harris now has eight returns for 81 yards this season. He also started at cornerback as a result of Steven Campbell's suspension, which pushed Deshazor Everett from corner to Campbell's safety spot. Harris finished with three tackles and a pass breakup.
Christine Michael
, Sr
Ā(Maxwell, Doak Walker)
Like Campbell, Michael was suspended for the SMU game for a violation of team rules.
Damontre Moore
, Jr.
Moore had followed his strong showing against Florida with another one against SMU, collecting six tackles and two sacks. For the season, Moore has 16 tackles and five sacks, good for second nationally.
Uzoma Nwachukwu
, Sr.
After a quiet first game, Nwachukwu got into the offensive mix on Saturday, catching two passes for 38 yards and a touchdown.
Sean Porter
, Sr.
Ā(Bednarik, Butkus)
Porter had five tackles in the win over SMU. He now has 12 for the season to go with a half-sack.
Ryan Swope
, Sr.
For the second consecutive game, Swope had five receptions, but this time he was able to make big things happen when he got the football. Swope had 70 receiving yards and a touchdown. That gives him 86 yards on the season on 10 catches.

I knocked my autosiphon off of the counter onto the ground and the check valve popped out of it. This is the 2nd autosiphon of mine that this has happened to. The first time it cracked the tube, so I went out and bought a new one. However this time, there is nothing wrong with it except for the missing check valve. Has anyone succesfully gotten this thing seated back in correctly? I tried rigging something up with thin wire and pulling it back into place, but I couldn't get it seated back in correctly. It seems like it will take quite a bit of force to get the two tabs locked in. Since it has to go in from the long end of the tube, it's difficult to get it lined up.
mine came out the other day when I was trying to clean out the hop leaves from the valve (long story that you can probably figure out. I used another long racking cane I had to place the valve back in, it took a long while and about a million tried to get it in the right orientation, but getting it popped in wasn't that hard. It would be nice if they made the black fittings on the ends removable somehow for cleaning purposes.
The dowel trick does work. I used it.
I didn't have any dowels long enough and thin enough to reach. I was able to fix it with a broken racking cane from one of the auto siphons (accidentally slammed it in a door). I put some gum on the end of it, stuck the check valve piece on it and popped it right into place on the first try. The gum stuck better to the racking cane then the check valve piece so I didn't have any gum stuck at the bottom of the autosiphon when I was done. Guess I'll have to keep the broken racking cane now. This probably won't work with an un 'modified' cane without first breaking off the 90 degree bend because it can't quite reach down far enough. Also taking off the rubber gasket on the tip of the cane made it easy to slide and position.
The same thing happened to me. I bent a paper clip and was able to pull the tab down and snap it in place. It took about 20 minutes.
Took a dowel with some sticky tack on the end. Pushed the checkvalve onto the tack, but just enough to make it stay. Stuck it upwards into the autsiphon body to keep it from falling off. 2 mins.
I love my autosiphon. It will aerate the hell out of my beer when I dont want it to.
I used a 1/4" dowel with fishing line pulling the check valve against the dowel. After a bit of work I got it to pop in. Then just let go of one end of the fishing line and pull it out. No residue to worry about.
That is so smart mZnthebend. I'll try that. Thanks all for this thread! I just ran into this issue. Wish me luck.

Technology Offers Savings, Fair and Timely Justice
By Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice Mike Heavican
The core mission of all courts is the delivery of justice in a fair and timely manner. Justice may be as mundane as paying a traffic fine or as significant as protecting the constitutional rights of an accused in a capital case. Increasingly, "fair and timely," both in paying those traffic fines and in protecting the rights of the accused, depends on technology.
Twenty-first century citizens have an expectation that government services will be available online. Courts have no exemption from this expectation and must adapt to provide more direct services through the use of technology. Electronic filing of court cases, the ability to review court documents online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the ability to pay fines or court judgments online fit the expectations of today's court consumer. At the same time technology, used creatively, allows court staff and judges to perform administrative functions from remote locations and speeds the processing of routine matters.
In Nebraska and many other states, electronic filing of cases is available in all trial courts, which means the courts are effectively available outside the traditional hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Filings can be made from any location and documents are available to view, thus eliminating the need for travel, postage and phone calls. Also, judges are becoming adept in the use of videoconferencing for many types of hearings, which saves court time as well as the time of law enforcement personnel, litigants and lawyers.
And one of the biggest challenges most state courts are facing in the 21st century is how to provide language access to those seeking justice who do not speak or understand English. How does a court in rural America provide interpreter services in Dinka, Somali, Farsi and K'iche?
The answer is likely to involve sophisticated technology. Interpreters can provide remote translation using computers, cell phones, videoconferencing and other electronic services, unavailable even a decade ago. In such circumstances, technology is a win/win situation. Litigants, witnesses, judges and lawyers are better served by having increased access to certified, professional interpreters and the courts' budgets are not depleted in paying for costly travel or waiting time.
Courts have just begun to exploit the potential for improving service and access with technology. Justice in a fair and timely manner will be enhanced as we use that technology wisely and imaginatively.

Buster Posey to get time at first base
DALLAS -- The San Francisco Giants plan to give Buster Posey some time at first base.
Posey won the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year award as a catcher, but his past season ended in May after he was hurt in a bruising collision at home plate.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy says it would help Posey and the team for him to play some at first base next year. Bochy says Posey still wants to catch, but is open to spending time at another spot to stay fresh.
"We'd like to get him out there as much as we can without wearing him down," Bochy said Monday at baseball's winter meetings.
"With him coming off his injury, there's a little question how much we can catch him back there, and we'll know more in spring training," he said.

America's Democratic Republic (3RD 09 - Old Edition)by Greenberg
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments. Publisher Comments:Features:
New to this Edition: Updated throughout!
NEW and expanded policy coverage:
NEW and REVISED chapter opening vignettes highlight current events and policies. New topics include the ongoing mortgage crisis and recession, presidential signing statements, arguments over the torture of detainees, and the bureaucratic breakdown that resulted in mass recalls of toys and other products from China. Revised! "The Democratic Republic" sections ending each chapter have been revised to better inspire critical thinking. Students are invited to evaluate the state of democracy in today's democratic republic, and consider the themes of the chapter in light of both the founders' vision for the republic and the people's inevitable march toward a more fully realized democracy. Book News Annotation:Political scientists Greenberg (U. of Colorado-Boulder) and Page (Northwestern U.) once more update their textbook--this time in light of the 2008 presidential election--explaining how the current political system in the US is a hybrid between popular democracy and 18th-century republican constitutional foundations. They discuss how it works on a day-to-day basis, how it came to be as it, and its impact of the quality of life for the people who live in it. They also have a larger, more conventional textbook out; this one is for instructors who like a little twist, and who like to assign additional readings. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:Part of the popular "Penguin Academics" Series, America's Democratic Republic is a brief, affordable book in an accessible trade-like format that explores the clash between the democratic aspirations of the American people and the republican foundations of our Constitution. Written with a lively, narrative style, this text traces the storyline of American government and focuses on the .long standing and inescapable tension between the country's 18th Century republican Constitutional foundations and the democratic aspirations of the American people. The thematic framework helps students to consider American government and politics as a hybrid--rooted equally in the founder's intentions to restrain the majority and the people's growing demand for a more fully realized democracy. In this manner, America's Democratic Republic provides an engaging narrative that works to diminish student apathy, quell cynicism, and inspire their reengagement in civic life. The "Penguin Academics" series offers accessibly written, elegantly designed, and highly affordable trade-format books by pre-eminent scholars. Table of ContentsI.

Carson City, Nev. - After lobbying for it since 2009, Carson City resident Jim Shirk has succeeded in getting a beam from the World Trade Center to Carson City.
He says numerous people from the community helped him along the way.
He read about other cities getting World Trade Center beams, and thought Carson City should have one, too.
Even though the process took more than two years, he says watching peoples' reactions at the dedication ceremony on 9/11/11 made it all worth it.
The beam weighs 1,500 pounds and sits atop two pillars that represent the two towers.
The beam is currently in Mills Park until the city decides on a permanent location.

Friendship is not about finding similarities, it is about respecting differences.You are not my friend coz you are like me, but because i accept you and respect you the way you are.

This is sooo true...... ♥
Respect is the soil in which friendship grows
Well spoken my friend, though I think we are quite similar in ways :)
Maybe the quote can be applied in all kind of relationship between two human beings!
that explains me and my best friend perfectly.
I agree with everything except it should have the words: "WE" "we respect each other and we accept each other the way we are".....imo
very true
How so very true in this day and age, because there are so many backstabbing sons of ******* out there. A true friend will be there whether you are standing or you have fallen.
Amen to that!
Very true!

Lukas fiddled with the corner of the photograph. Just a little more, last one....he thought as he selected the best one out of a pile next to him. Sitting back, he admired his handiwork.
He'd been working on a photo album for a while now, he was a photographer and while he liked taking pictures of the surrounding forest, he simply adored taking pictures of you.
Unfortunately you didn't like the fact that your boyfriend was always hiding his face behind his camera, also you often froze up when you caught him aiming a lens in your direction.
So he'd found a solution, not a very good one as he'd be the first one to admit, but at least it worked. He'd taken to sneakily taking photos of you when you were asleep or otherwise engaged.
Most of his photos were of you either with your eyes closed and hugging a pillow or of you reading a book, headphones on. Sometimes he'd got lucky and he was able to take a picture of you whilst you were smiling, talking or laughing with your friends.
In any case, you hadn't really realised what he was doing, which was the point. His hands in his neck, he chuckled, wondering what your expression would be when you received his present. Making a mental note to have his camera with him and ready at that moment, he hid the album in the secret compartment in one of his desk-drawers.
Then he stretched, came out of his office and walked to your bedroom. Seeing as it was already quite late, you were already in bed. A book lay on your stomach as you'd tried and failed to wait for him to come to bed.
He smiled at you, closing your book and laying it on the nightstand. Then he stripped, leaving his boxers on and lay down next to you. Stroking your soft hair and nuzzling your face he waited for sleep to take him over.
You giggled, sitting up in bed and kissing your boyfriend's cheek. "Morning Luke." You murmured, stroking your thumb over his cheek. Sleepily he blinked and gave you that twitch of a smile. "Hey." He replied, hugging your waist.
Sighing contentedly, you combed through his hair gently, rubbing his neck. His eyes closed, he nuzzled his nose into your stomach, then leant up and pecked your lips. "That reminds me..." he whispered, getting out of bed and rewarding you with the sight of him, ruffling his bed hair in his bowers alone.
Lukas's body hummed with excitement, he was dead curious how you'd react to it and he retrieved his present. Hiding it behind his back he stepped back into the bedroom. "Close your eyes." He instructed, crawling back onto the bed and sitting cross-legged in front of you.
After placing it on your lap, he kissed your eyelids. "You can look now." He sat back as your (e/c) eyes fluttered open, eagerly looking at the weight on your legs.
Mesmerised, you ran your hands down the cover, which was beautifully marbled black and (f/c). You opened it, reading the small message he'd written for you. Smiling, you carried on turning, freezing when you recognised your face on the photos.
Lukas bit the inside of his cheek, nervous now. You carried on flicking through the photos, amazed at the variety and sheer amount of them. There were pictures of the two of you as well, taken by an unsteady hand, Mathias's probably.
When you reached the last page, you wiped at your eyes, not wanting to cry at something as lovely as what he'd done for you.
You closed the book, giving the cover a last lingering stroke after you'd set it on your bed-side table then you turned towards him.
Lukas was biting his lip, his hand clenched. Didn't you like it? His expression said. He looked like a kicked puppy, it was so sad. You decided to put him out of his misery. So you pounced on him, hugging him tightly and kissing all over his face.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!" You chanted, your arms so tightly around him that he could barely breathe properly.
Lukas blushed, rolling onto his back so you were on top of him. His hands on your hips he kissed your neck, trailing his lips up to your ear. "Happy anniversary (y/n)."

Yields: 10 bow ties or 12 doughnuts
Oven Temp: 375
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1 cup(s) milk
- 2 tablespoon(s) butter
- 1/4 cup(s) warm water, 105 degrees to 115 degrees F
- 1 package(s) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoon(s) granulated sugar
- 3.5 cup(s) (up to 3 3/4 cup, as needed) unsifted all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 large egg
For Cinnamon Bow Ties:
- 1/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup(s) apricot preserves, melted
- 1/4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon(s) (up to 1 1/2 teaspoons, as needed) water
For Baked Jelly Doughnuts:
- 1/2 cup(s) raspberry, strawberry, or red currant jelly or preserves
- 1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
- Prepare dough: In small saucepan, heat milk until bubbles appear around side of pan; remove from heat and add butter. Set aside to allow butter to melt and mixture to cool to warm (about 105 degrees to 115 degrees F).
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar; stir to dissolve yeast. Let stand until foamy--about 5 minutes.
- In large bowl, preferably of heavy-duty electric mixer, combine 2 cups flour and the salt; make a well in center of flour mixture. Add the milk mixture, yeast mixture, and the egg; with wooden spoon or dough hook of mixer, beat until smooth batter forms. Add 1 1/2 cups flour to batter and beat until soft dough forms. Continue beating until dough cleans side of bowl.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead dough, adding as much of remaining 1/4 cup flour as necessary to prevent sticking, until smooth and elastic--about 3 minutes.
- Wash, dry, and lightly oil mixing bowl; place dough in oiled bowl, turning to bring oiled side up. Cover with clean cloth and let dough rise in warm place, away from drafts, until double in size--about 1 hour.
- To make Cinnamon Bow Ties, lightly grease large baking sheet. In small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. On floured surface, roll dough out to a 20- by 15-inch rectangle. Lightly score dough into three 20- by 5-inch sections. Brush 2 adjacent sections with melted butter and evenly coat with all of cinnamon-sugar mixture. Fold uncoated section of dough over center section, then fold remaining cinnamon-sugar coated section over first 2 to form a layered 20- by 5-inch rectangle. Cut into ten 5- by 2-inch strips. Twist each strip once in the center and place on greased baking sheet. Cover with clean cloth and let rise until double in size--about 45 minutes.
- To make Baked Jelly Doughnuts, lightly grease large baking sheet. On floured surface, roll dough out to a rectangle about 3/8 inch thick. With 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out dough to make rounds. Reroll trimmings and cut out more rounds until you have 24. Place 12 rounds on greased baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon preserves onto center of each round. Moisten edge of rounds with water and top each with another dough round. Press together at edges. Cover with clean cloth and let rise until double in size--about 45 minutes.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake Cinnamon Bow Ties 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Bake Jelly Doughnuts 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on top. Remove bow ties or doughnuts to wire rack; cool 10 minutes.
- Before serving bow ties, in small bowl combine confectioners' sugar and enough water to make a spoonable icing. Brush bow ties with apricot preserves and drizzle with icing. Set aside until icing dries--15 to 20 minutes.
- Before serving doughnuts, place confectioners' sugar in plastic bag. Brush doughnuts lightly with butter on all sides. Drop, one at a time, into confectioners' sugar and shake to coat completely. Both bow ties and doughnuts are best if served on the day they are baked.
