Veronica Lake: A Biography in Pictures
by Martin Grams, Jr.
"I will have one of the cleanest obits of any actress. I never did cheesecake like Ann Sheridan or Betty Grable. I just used my hair." –Veronica Lake
Veronica Lake never received her due of sex appeal like her Hollywood competition. Her legs were not insured for $1 million dollars like Betty Grable and her two biggest assets were not being promoted like Jane Russell. When she stood to attention in So Proudly We Hail! (1943), uniformed Veronica Lake stood 4 feet, 11 inches tall. She weighed 90 pounds. She was teamed with Joel McCrea in Sullivan's Travels (1942), who stood 6 feet, 3 inches. While filming I Married A Witch in 1942, Veronica Lake and co-star Fredric March did not like one another, due in part to some disparaging remarks March made about her. During filming, Lake delighted in playing pranks on March, such as hiding a 40-pound weight under her costume when March had to carry her in his arms. In another scene in which the two were photographed only from the waist up, Lake stuck her foot in March's groin.
But in front of the camera, Veronica Lake deftly filled the lens with more sex appeal in her one eye than most beauties wearing half as much, and trying twice as hard. An icy blonde whose trademark hairstyle – a cascade of golden tresses that obscured one heavy-lidded eye – remained among the enduring images of Hollywood glamour… and Veronica Lake was for a time, one of the most popular and sought-after actresses in motion pictures. Her hair style motivated a generation of women to imitate her cool persona with the peak-a-boo hair style. (This wasn't the first time a Hollywood actress influenced the way Americans lived. Actresses Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn were often photographed in trousers during the 1930s, which helped make trousers acceptable for women to wear in public.) Gale Storm, Phyllis Coates
Composers feted her in song, with famed composers Rogers and Hart citing her look in 1943's The Girl I Love to Leave Behind and Lake even singing a tune about herself in the 1942 wartime morale booster film, Star-Spangled Rhythm. When the G.I.s overseas displayed pin-ups to remind themselves what they were fighting for, Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth had competition. Her impact on society was so dramatic, that during the war, she was forced by the United States government to temporarily change her peek-a-boo hair-do after numerous women in munitions factories were becoming injured when their long locks of hair were catching in assembly-line machinery. Veronica Lake's hair style, popularized on the silver screen, became a safety hazard and in 1943, she began appearing on the screen without the trademark hair. Rita Hayworth
Movie historians debate whether or not this dramatic change in her appearance had a negative effect on Lake's screen career, but in reality, there were a number of factors that contributed to the decline of her star status. Lake had a reputation for being difficult on the set, and many of her co-stars were open in their dislike of her; Fredric March refused to speak about her in interviews, and even the genial Eddie Bracken (her co-star in Star-Spangled Rhythm) had nothing but caustic words about her. In 1942, she divorced John Detlie, and the following year she stumbled over a cable during the making of The Hour Before Dawn (1944), which led to the premature birth of her son, William. The movie studio has to quickly reschedule filming (and additional cost to do so). To make matters worse, critics savaged her performance as a Nazi sympathizer in Dawn. Some claimed she could not act – only look pretty. Some historians today make the same claim. Lake also reportedly began drinking during this period, with rumors of mental instability – which had plagued her since childhood.
Born Constance Ockelman in Brooklyn, New York, on Nov. 14, 1919, Veronica Lake was only 12 years old when she lost her father, oil company employee Harry Ockelman, due to a work-related accident. Her mother, also named Constance, married Anthony Keane a year later, causing the family to move several times over the next few years. After gaining some fame in beauty pageants in Florida, she and her parents re-located to Beverly Hills, CA, enrolling Lake in the Bliss Hayden School of Acting in Hollywood. Her big break happened almost immediately. After signing with RKO, she made her film debut in John Farrow's romantic drama, Sorority House (1939), in which she was initially billed as Constance Keane. Bit roles in other features followed, including a Leon Errol comedy film short (which we're screening this year in the movie room). Lake's parts were so small that her characters rarely had a name and you'll notice that in the Leon Errol comedy.
"Hollywood gives a young girl the aura of one giant, self-contained orgy farm, its inhabitants dedicated to crawling into every pair of pants they can find." –Veronica Lake
Lake worked her way up in Hollywood, proudly and publicly admitting that she was capable of getting roles in movies without the need of a casting couch tryout. She signed with Paramount in 1941, and while there, famed producer Arthur Hornblow redubbed her Veronica Lake – "Lake" being inspired by the blueness of her eyes, and according to Hornblow, the name Veronica suggesting beauty. (Years later, Jay Ward and his staff would poke fun of her name in a comical story arc on The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, a caper that took place at Lake Veronica.)
For the next three years she appeared in a string of box office hits, all financially successful for the studio. She made a major impact as William Holden's smoldering love interest in the military drama, I Wanted Wings (1941), a 17th-century sorceress who falls for the ancestor of the man who condemned her to death in Rene Clair's I Married A Witch (1941), and showed considerable comic talent as a struggling actress who accompanies Joel McCrea on his cross-country trip in Preston Sturges' cutting social commentary, Sullivan's Travels (1942). Why this latter film has not been hailed as one of the 100 best movies ever made is subject to debate, but we'll be screening it this year and if you never saw Sullivan's Travels, we recommend you take the time and do. It's one of those films you will admit, after the closing credits, "they don't make movies like that anymore." TCM.com
In late 1942, she was cast opposite screen newcomer Alan Ladd in the brutish noir thriller, This Gun for Hire (1942), with Ladd as a killer and Lake who sympathizes for the gunman. The movie studio had found a solution to Alan Ladd's 5 foot, 5 inch height. They paired him up with Veronica Lake. They would appear together in a total of seven films, including The Glass Key (1942), Duffy's Tavern (1945) and The Blue Dahlia (1946).
In 1944, she married film director Andre De Toth, reportedly violent behind the camera. De Toth would later be responsible for directing House of Wax (1953), considered one of the greatest 3-D movies ever made. Ironic when you consider the fact that De Toth had a glass eye – you need two eyes to see the 3-D process. Perhaps she needed a man who was dominant in her life. Perhaps she felt sorry for the director. Whatever the reason, her marriage never lasted a decade and her drinking continued behind the camera. Business-minded Alan Ladd, soft-spoken, meek and insecure, publicly criticized her for showing up late on the set of The Blue Dahlia.
20th Century Fox picked up her contract in 1948 and she initially assumed this was a change for the better since she did not feel welcome at Paramount anymore. Fox wasn't known for putting out quality movies, with more misses than hits. Lake was among the statistics. Not that Fox tried their best. Whenever possible, movie producers gave her top billing. In February of 1952, she played the role of Mary Stevens, a young American girl, who goes to Mexico with her mother, to escape the strife of the American Civil War. Once there, she gets caught up in love and politics as Don Migeul Navarro (Zachary Scott), a follower of Maximillian, battles Dom Pedro Alvarez, a follower of the exiled Juarez, vie for her hand. The romance paralleled the success of the Juarez movement. Stronghold was released in theaters and the film was such a flop that she went to New York to try the stage and a number of television appearances (mostly to pay off a debt to the IRS). She never returned to Hollywood for more than a decade.
Even though Lake took advantage of her down time and earned her pilot's license; in 1946, eventually flying solo from Los Angeles to New York, her personal life after Hollywood involved alcoholism. She only made the news when she was picked up by the police for disorderly conduct. Lake moved to Hollywood, Florida, avoiding the West Coast, where she penned a well-received autobiography, Veronica, which detailed her many struggles with temperament, mental illness and alcoholism. With one last ditch effort for her long-past-its-prime career, Lake managed to co-finance her final film, a dreary, Florida-lensed horror movie called Flesh Feast (1970), in which she played a doctor experimenting with a youth formula involving maggots. The film was not a box office success.
In 1973, she was hospitalized with declining health brought on by hepatitis and renal failure — both complications of her alcohol addiction. Her mental facilities were also in sharp decline. Lake had suffered from steadily increasing paranoia since the mid-'60s. Estranged from her children, Lake died alone on July 7, 1973. Rumor had it that it took days for someone to identify her body. Some of her ashes were scattered in the Virgin Islands three years later, but in 2004, it was discovered that another portion had reportedly remained in possession of a friend and that it had made its way to an antique store in the Catskills.
References to Lake's peek-a-boo style and ice queen demeanor were seen in everything from the neo-noir flick, L.A. Confidential (1997) with Kim Basinger as Lynn Bracken, to the animated femme fatale, Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988). Even the comics' Archie Andrews of The Archies had a longtime love, brunette vixen Veronica Rogers, mirrored closely with the actress.
After her Hollywood career came to a close, her one-time lover Marlon Brando heard she was working as a barmaid and promptly had his people deliver her a check for $1,000. Too proud to cash it, Lake instead chose to have it framed as a memory of days gone by, and a not-so-subtle notice to others that she was once Hollywood's reigning sex symbol.

Making Slides into a DVD with Music
Hi Guys , This is my first time into a forum so please bare with me. I have about 300 pictures of a 50th wedding anniversary and what i have done is opened I Photo and used the Ken Burns effect and then sent it to IDVD with the music and burned. Well it came out except the quality is quite lower from the quicktime movie Can anyone tell me how or what I would need to make a good quality DVD from slides. I hope I have done this right.
Thank You
When I do mine, I format them with Quicktime first, I find it helps with the quality quite a bit. Are you building them with MPEG4?
Making Slides into a DVD with Music
Hi, First thank you for answering. I am not sure what MPEG4 is. What I have done is make my slides then send them to IDVD and it makes it into a Quicktime movie and then it burns the DVD but the slides are not as good as the Quicktime movie. I found out that I must first change the music to MP3 that all the songs will play. I will look what MPEG4 is.
Just in case, this is what I was talking about:
Slides to DVD
Hi Buz, Can you run me through it. First I have IPhoto 5. What I have done was just go to share and then send to IDVD. It created the quicktime movie and I did not see any place for me to choose. So can you tell me were you went to get the create project. This may sound rather foolish but I have tried so many ways to make a nice DVD that I am just confused. Thank You for your help
Those settings are for iMovies, but what you're saying is you want to do a slide show with iPhoto in Quicktime.
HI Buz, I will do a slide show in what ever will do the job best. Can you tell me if your slides look good when burned in a DVD. When I burned them after useing IPhoto and sending them to IDVD the quality of the pictures was much lower then the actual photo. PS Happy New Year.
My use of iMovie and or iPhoto was simply to understand how the software works so that I could help clients or switchers that are coming over to Apple. Now, as for the images you are attempting to use in the slide show, I personally would have used Photoshop CS2 to edit them. After editing the images in Photoshop I would then put them in iPhoto to proceed in doing the iMovie. I would have saved them as .bmp files, for the higher quality.
The only use I got out of iPhoto in and of itself was simply a vehicle that interacted with iMovie. Since I was putting together a generic little test I didn't go through a lot of trouble editing and making it look high quality. As far as how it looked it came out okay for me. I'll link it to you below so you can see it. Its rough cut as I didn't edit it or polish it for better use.
If you are interested in using iPhoto to then use iMovie what I did was I followed the manual, which you can see here:
As you saw the illustration in my previous post when I was starting the creation process I set the iMovie to MPEG4. After the movie was created and I apologize for not knowing the exact details after it was created in iMovie I was able to then format the iMoive into a Quick time (.mov). I don't recall the function or process I used off the top of my head. Here is the sample movie I made, keep in mind this was a rough cut thrown together movie as I was just learning the basics.

Photo by Garmin-Sharp's David Millar was exhausted after winning Stage 12 of the 2012 Tour de France. (James Startt)
David Millar won Stage 12 of the Tour de France in Annonay Davézieux with a display of tactical cunning and a furious turn of speed, after a long day in the breakaway. The stage began with a hectic hour of racing to establish the break, but soon the main field, led by Team Sky, let the escapees gain more than ten minutes. From there until the final kilometers, the whole thing was a bit of a sleeper.
The stage finale made up for the long, flat kilometers it took to get there. In the closing kilometers, the breakaway of five riders began the business of attacking one another. Jean-Christophe Péraud of AG2R-La Mondiale put in the most serious attack. Millar, recognizing the winning move, quickly bridged across to the French rider. Then, after pulling for most of the final kilometer, Millar outsprinted Péraud for the stage victory.
Millar's win tied together several plot lines. It brought a much-needed success to his Garmin-Sharp team, it brought his own career full circle, and it came on a day heavy with the weight of Tour history.
For Garmin-Sharp, the stage victory in Annonay Davézieux was a refreshing draught of lemonade after a summer drought. Garmin-Sharp's general classification hopes Tom Danielson and Ryder Hejsedal both left the race after crashes in the first week. Sprinter Tyler Farrar also fell victim to crashes that kept him out of the bunch kicks, and he currently rides as the lanterne rouge, the last rider in the general classification. Dave Zabriskie, the team's time trial specialist, managed only 69th in the opening prologue. Finally with Friday's victory, Millar has given the Garmin-Sharp team something to celebrate.
Friday's stage win also punctuated a series of near-misses for Millar at the grand tours. In 2008 at the Giro d'Italia, Millar made it into the right breakaway and spent the day out in front of the field. In sight of the red kite, the group began to sprint. Millar stood up to accelerate only to have his chain snap. The mechanical slammed him onto the bike's top tube and ruined his chances at stage victory after a long day of racing in the break. Little wonder he hurled his bike over the barricades in fury.
The following year at the 2009 Tour de France, Millar forced a breakaway to form on the road to Barcelona during Stage 6. Sensing that his breakaway companions were tiring, Millar made a long bomb bid for freedom. There were nearly 30 kilometers of racing left to the finish. Riding solo, Millar sped through Barcelona's rain-slicked streets while the field inexorably pulled the road out from under him. In sight of the finish, the sprinters swarmed Millar and denied him the stage victory he'd wanted badly enough to ride nearly 30 kilometers alone in the rain.
This time around, there were no sprinters to catch him and no mechanical incidents to impede his sprint. Millar held his nerves steady at the end of the long day out, and though Péraud refused to budge from his rear wheel during the final kilometer, the Garmin-Sharp rider had the legs to win the sprint.
Friday's stage victory also offered redemption of another sort for Millar. It marked his first Tour de France stage victory since his return from a doping suspension in 2006. The story is well-known: As part of an investigation into the Cofidis team, French police arrested Millar at a restaurant in Biarritz. He denied the charges initially. But after the police searched his house, found discarded wrappers from EPO, and threw him into a jail cell, Millar confessed.

The United States military placed its troops in harm's way by spreading them too thin across Afghanistan.

Hey, the Afghan Taliban are sensitive guys.
To those critical of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, compassion seems to be a liability in war.
Trading Taliban prisoners for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl may not have been ideal, but, as they say, the perfect is enemy of the good.
Afghan justice is buried three sub-basements down.
Despite its brutality, corruption, and affiliation with al Qaeda, the Haqqani network is likely to inherit much of Afghanistan should the United States leave.
If costly drug war strategies in Afghanistan have been unsuccessful even with a strong U.S. military presence, they won't stand a chance after the U.S. withdraws.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai's main demands of the United States command broad support in Afghanistan.

This iPhone Case Can Also Hold Your Favorite Cologne or Perfume
Hate being unscented all the time, but don't want to carry around a bottle of fragrance in your pants pocket?
Boy, do we have some great news for you, you foul beast, you.
The Atomyzer is a new product on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo that combines an iPhone case with a refillable spritzing mechanism, so that you'll always have your favorite scent in your pocket. The snap-on iPhone case contains a reservoir and a spray head, so that, in addition to protecting your iPhone from nicks and scratches, it can also provide a spritz of cologne, perfume, hand sanitizer, or really any liquid you might want to keep handy at all times.
Here's the Atomyzer pitch video. Smell the innovation!
While the Atomyzer is designed for perfumes and colognes, the reservoir can be filled and refilled with any fluid that strikes your fancy. According to its Indiegogo page, the case provides up to 60 sprays per fill.
And if you're worried about mistakenly activating the spritzer while the phone rests in your pants pocket, well, good news — the spray head can be locked, to avoid what Atomyzer inventor Rahul Dharod has hilariously dubbed "accidental butt sprays."
(Finally! An entrepreneur brave enough to create, and then take, on the scourge of accidental butt sprays.)
Dharod got the idea for the Atomyzer while going through security at the airport, when he got tired of his expensive cologne bottles being confiscated. The Atomyzer holds little enough liquid that the TSA can't take it away from you.

"What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization." -- Abraham H. Maslow
"A role model isn't someone you pay to watch, it is who you are when nobody else is watching"
My name is Bruce Leto and I am a member of the class of 2014 at Haverford College. During my college admissions process, I was unsure of whether I wanted a big school, a liberal arts college, or even a music school. I applied to all of these different types of schools, auditioned at several conservatories (I am a classical pianist by the way), and ultimately decided to go with the perfect fit -- Haverford College. I haven't looked back since.
With the first semester of college over, I realize how much I have accomplished since I arrived here and understand how Haverford has helped pave the way for me thus far to be become a better, more conscientious person.

In an April 12 letter to the New Mexico Livestock Board, the Fifth Judicial District Attorney's Office, which covers Chaves, Eddy and Lea Counties, said it won't seek charges against Tim Sappington - the man who created uproar after filming himself shooting a horse last month.
District Attorney Janetta Hicks explains that's because "Mr. Sappington's conduct was not a violation of New Mexico law."
She writes that Sappington killed the horse for his own consumption, which is a commonly accepted agricultural and animal husbandry practice; it's also excluded from the state's extreme animal cruelty statute. The state also reviewed federal laws, and determined that Sappington also acted in accordance with those slaughtering standards.
"The was verified through the interview with Mr. Sappington, video clips of Mr. Sappington actually processing and storing the horse after hooting it, and recovery of horse meat packaged for human consumption," Hicks writes.
Even so, Hicks, in her letter, also pointed out the video clip featuring Sappington's incendiary comments and the abrupt manner in which he killed the horse "demonstrated infectivity as well a poor judgment."
The shooting incident came after Sappington, an employee of Valley Meat Company outside of Roswell, said he and his family was fed up with the threats they had received from animal activists because the company was seeking United States Department of Agriculture approval for a domestic horse slaughtering plant.

Regarding the letter by Jeff Scales ("Warning against yoga absurdly fundamentalist," WCR, April 15), if Mr. Scales "understands and supports the Church's position on dabbling with the occult," he would do well to investigate, with minimal effort, the practices of yoga, kinesiology, therapeutic touch, etc.
I am writing in response to the letter to the editor titled "Warning against yoga absurdly fundamentalist" on April 15.
Re: Articles on New Age and yoga by Chris Miller (WCR, March 25).
Thank you Ramon Gonzalez and the WCR for your wonderful article on the death of Father Vic Perron, a very dear friend ("Shy Fr. Perron gave spirited homilies," WCR, April 1).
Thank you for the excellent coverage of this grace-filled moment of transition in the Church.
I recently read the article by Chris Miller reviewing Father Denis Phaneuf's recent statements about New Age practices ("Prairie priest warns against yoga, herbal medicines" WCR, March 25).
As you may know, for the past five years, Archbishop Richard Smith has been advocating the need for the Sisters of Life to establish their order in the Edmonton Archdiocese to help us bring an end to abortions.
What happens when we consult our hopes for peace?
Sometimes I hear people express concern about the future of the Catholic Church. As a 20-something, I can see why there might be some concerns regarding the behaviours of many of my peers in this day and age.
There may be some rationale for confirming non-practising Catholics but I cannot figure out what it is and why we do this. Year after year, we confirm thousands of children who obviously are not practising the Catholic faith and, presumably, come from families where it is not being practised.

What in the world is a bastardy bond?ReplyDelete
Apparently your family's been better behaved than mine, Margel! It's just like a marriage bond or guardian's bond only the court assesses it to assure that the father will support his illegitimate child. In this case Archie's father-in-law and another man whose relationship is unknown guaranteed that support by posting bond with the court.ReplyDelete

UK Ties Best Finish with Fifth-Place Showing at SEC Championships
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Behind an impressive performance on vault, where the Wildcats posted one of their highest team scores of the season with a 49.0, the University of Kentucky gymnastics team finished in fifth place out of seven teams, tying the best finish in school history at the Southeastern Conference Championships on Saturday in Duluth, Ga.
"The short recap of the meet is that we performed well on two events and struggled on the other two," UK head coach Tim Garrison said. "I do feel that it was an important experience for our team. The format of the SEC Championships is similar to the regional meet coming up in two weeks. And competing against great competition always adds an element of pressure that is hard to simulate in training or in a dual meet. We still have a lot of work to do in our preparation for regionals. These next few training sessions will be critical to how far we go into the postseason."
Fans can go online to NCAA.com on Monday at 3 p.m. ET to see the 2012 women's gymnastics selection show.

ANDERSON (AP) — An Indiana man sentenced to 253 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to 19 counts of child molesting has lost his bid to have his sentence shortened.
The Indiana Court of Appeals this week upheld the sentence issued to 39-year-old William Everage Jr. in July 2012 by a Madison County judge.
Appeals Court Judge Cale Bradford wrote the sentence was appropriate because the evidence against Everage was overwhelming, The Herald Bulletin reports (http://bit.ly/14AUyaS ). The victims' families said Everage manipulated them so he could get close to their children, one of whom is autistic. Most of the abuse occurred while Everage was babysitting the children.
Everage told an investigator he started molesting children when he was 17 years old. Everage's girlfriend, 31-year-old Jessica Tooley, said she helped Everage molest children, including her own 11-year-old daughter. In August, Tooley was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Everage and his attorneys argued the court didn't take into enough consideration Everage's admission of guilt and cooperation when deciding on a sentence.
Bradford noted that Everage failed to show any remorse or desire to change and that the only way to protect the public from Everage is to lock him up.

Would the very light jet revolution have happened without the Eclipse 500? We think not.
True, it was not the first of its type. That distinction belongs to the Morane-Saulnier Paris, and partly explains why Eclipse founder Vern Raburn decided to launch a start-up aircraft factory in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The result was a flawed product with an unexecutable business plan. But Raburn's vision revealed a hunger for an entirely different kind of business jet.
The Eclipse 500 may still be resurrected as a success, but its impact is already clear with the proliferation of VLJ concepts - and orders - throughout the industry.
It is worth remembering that Raburn did not invent the Eclipse 500. If anyone deserves that distinction, it is aerospace engineer Burt Rutan. He fashioned the Scaled Composites Model 271 Spike, leveraging the Williams FJX-2 engine developed with funding from NASA's advanced general aviation transports experiment programme.
After the concept drifted to Eclipse, the structure was modified from all-composite to metal and from a V- to a T-tail.

The Ball and Chain Show Episode 8: The Jason London Special
This week marks a special occasion, as Jason London joins hosts Dazed and Confused and The Mistress of Oppression for a special one on one chat. The Terror Experiment serves as the point of focus, though London's work in the now cult classic stoner favorite (you guessed it), Dazed and Confused is definitely touched down upon. Jason offers up his thoughts on the picture's status today and the experience of shooting of the film among a few other entertaining angles.
Followers will notice a bit of an adjustment in the formatting of this episode, as the "Movie of the Week" and "B Movie Madness" segments have been abandoned in order to place all focus on London and a few of his noteworthy genre efforts (including The Terror Experiment, which arrived on DVD the 30th of last month)…and of course Dazed and Confused (someone is obsessed, apparently).
On the technical front, more upgrades and tweaks have been made, and the crew is happy to note some promising evolution in the overall production value of the show. Everyone is working hard to bring you the strongest product possible, and things are certainly headed in the right direction.
Enough babbling on: get ready for plenty of drunken silliness, sexually explicit exchanges, and, a great interview with the one and only Jason London! Be sure to follow the gang on Facebook and Twitter, and of course, subscribe to our iTunes and rate/comment on the show!

Christian Dior was born in 1905 in the small French coastal town of Granville, the son of a wealthy fertilizer manufacturer. His family had high hopes that the young Christian would become a diplomat however Dior was artistic and when he left school in 1928 he received money from his father to open a small art gallery. His gallery sold art by the likes of Pablo Picasso but after a financial blow his father lost control of his company and the young Dior was forced to close his gallery.
From the 1930s to the early 1940s Dior worked with the designer Robert Piguet, until he was enlisted into the army. Having left the army in 1942 Dior joined Lucien Lelong where he and Pierre Balmain were the primary designers. For the duration of the war Lelong dressed the wives of Nazi officers and French collaborators, as did the other Paris based ateliers that remained open during the occupation. While her brother dressed Nazi consorts, Dior's sister Catherine served in the French resistance. After her capture by the Gestapo, Catherine was sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. She survived the ordeal and was freed in 1945. The first Dior fragrance was dedicated to her.
Dior founded his haute couture empire in 1946 at 30 Avenue Montaigne Paris, backed by wealthy French businessman Marcel Boussac. Together they established a company with a capital of FFr 6million and an 80 strong workforce. Christian Dior was in essence just a vanity project for Monsieur Boussac and as a result Dior was allowed, at that time, an unusually large amount of control in his namesake label.
In his first show Dior introduced his signature shape of the New Look. Consisting of a below calf length full skirt, a much fuller bust than had been in style since the early 1910s and a small cinched waist. The New Look style was a rebuttal to post war fabric restrictions with an average dress using around 20 yards of fabric. The New Look employed many hidden techniques to give its trademark curvaceous silhouette, dresses were lined with percale, bodices were boned in a rigid bustier style, hips were padded and waists were minimized with waspie corsets. Overall the look was the exact opposite to the boxy fabric conserving shapes of the war years. Initially upon its release there were some protestations at the excessive use of fabric, women were also unused to such long skirt lengths with hemlines rising during the war to conserve fabric. During one fashion shoot in a Paris market, models were berated by female stall vendors, however this opposition disappeared with the end of wartime shortages.
Although Dior is often cited as the sole originator of this silhouette, a number of his contemporaries had created a similar shape before the war but with the shutting down of the fashion machine during WWII their designs had in effect been put on hold. Along with Dior, Christóbal Balenciaga, Jacques Fath, and Charles James introduced similar silhouettes for evening wear, however Dior was the only one to make the radical move of introducing such a strong look for daywear. The New Look continued to strongly influence fashion until the swinging 60s and echoes of the signature Dior silhouette would reverberate for decades to come. By 1949 the New Look line alone had made the company a profit of FFr 12.7 million.
The reputation Dior achieved with producing such a polar shift in fashion led to his dictatorship of the fashion industry for the next decade. He was able to introduce a new silhouette bi-annually, dramatically speeding up the rate of change in fashion and sewing the seeds for the rapid moving industry we see today. His constant re-invention forced fashionable women to purchase new wardrobes at a much greater rate than was known previously, spurring on the notion of 'trends' in fashion. Every collection included a coat called the 'Granville', named after his birthplace and at least one model wore a bunch of his favourite flower, lily of the valley.
Dior also realised the importance of a complete look. Without the correct Dior shoes, gloves and hat the authentic New Look could not be achieved. With this in mind Dior, together with his partner Jacques Rouët, licensed his name to a range of luxury accessories, a move that was heavily criticised by members of the French Chamber of Couture who denounced the move as cheapening the haute couture industry. Despite this, licensing became a profitable move for Dior and the atelier's lesson was followed by nearly all of the fashion houses.
Dior designed more successful lines throughout the 1950s but none came close to the success or widespread appeal of the New Look. By the atelier's 10th anniversary in 1957 Dior had sold more than 100,000 garments, he appeared on the front cover of Time magazine on 4th March of that year.
On 23rd October 1957 Christian Dior had a reputed third heart attack and died while holidaying in Italy. Paris socialite and Dior acquaintance Alexis von Rosenberg, Baron de Rédé stated in his memoirs that contemporary rumour had it that Dior succumbed to a heart attack following a 'strenuous sexual encounter', other theories include Dior choking on a fish bone or suffering an heart attack after playing a game of cards. No agreement can be made on the subject of the great designer's death and it continues to spark fierce discussion. What is certain is that by the time of Dior's untimely death his name had become synonymous with chic luxury and style.
The death of its leader left the atelier in disarray. Rouët considered ceasing the operations but this idea was not well received by the numerous Dior licensees or the French fashion industry, the House of Dior was too important for French financial stability.
In an attempt to stabilise the label Rouët appointed Dior's head assistant, the 21 year old Yves Saint-Laurent, to artistic director. His first collection resulted in the young designer being hailed as a hero who had saved the luxury house from collapse. Saint Laurent gained confidence from his initial success but then presented a succession of less and less well received collections. His tenure at Dior lasted for only four seasons.
Marc Bohan proved very successful as Saint Laurent's replacement, defining a new era and new silhouette for Dior, the Slim Look, a more modern and svelte version of Dior's iconic shape.
In 1978 the Boussac Group filed for bankruptcy and its assets, including Dior, were sold to the Willot Group. After they went into administration, Bernard Arnault and his investment group purchased the Willot Group's holdings for 'one symbolic franc' in 1994. In 1985 Arnault became chairman, CEO and managing director of Christian Dior S.A. On assuming power Arnault drastically altered Dior's operations.
Arnault's decision to appoint Englishman John Galliano as head designer in 1997 caused a stir in Parisian fashion circles, with Arnault himself saying he would have preferred finding a native designer but that "talent has no nationality". In a show of support for the new designer Arnault publicly compared him to his illustrious forbear;
"Galliano has a creative talent very close to that of Christian Dior. He has the same extraordinary mixture of romanticism, feminism and modernity that symbolised Monsieur Dior. In all of his creations – his suits, his dresses – one finds similarities to the Dior style."
When Galliano was given control over Dior advertising at the turn of the new millennium, he sparked a revolution. At the end of the 1990s Dior, along with other luxury manufacturers such as Gucci had started utilising 'porn chic' to draw attention to their brands. Galliano was a leading figure in this style of advertising and it became a trend that would escalate until companies such as Ungaro with their 'Zoophilic' adverts and the infamous Gucci 'G' girl raised a public outcry. It is considered by some that Galliano revolutionised Dior more through his clever advertising strategies than through his designs.
When Galliano was dismissed in 2011 for his drunken, anti-Semitic rant at a couple in a Paris café, specualtion as to who was replace him became the hottest topic in fashion. The role was offered but turned down by Marc Jacobs and in April 2012 the position was given to Raf Simons.
Born in Belgium in 1968 Simons made a dramatic career change from industrial and furniture designer to the world of fashion designer when he launched his own menswear label in 1995. In 2005 he was appointed creative director of Jil Sander where he proceeded to revitalize the label, making it one of fashion's hottest tickets again.
In February 2012, it was announced that Simons would leave Jil Sander and in April he was confirmed as the new creative director of Dior.

Millions of dollars are spent each year designing, implementing and maintaining our landscapes. Unfortunately, long-term problems are caused when we as gardeners make decisions based on our needs and wants without considering the environmental impact. You may have heard the term sustainable landscaping. What does a sustainable landscape mean?
More than 80 4-H members, parents, volunteers and Extension staff were in attendance to celebrate accomplishments the youth have made during 2010 at the annual Brunswick County 4-H achievement banquet on Feb. 21 at the Extension Office.
This year, the 4-H'ers were honored as the shining stars in 4-H.
The room sparkled with twinkling lights and a donated, custom-made starlight "chandelier" hung in the middle of the room.
In 1993, a wildfire in a dry canyon of Laguna Beach, Ca., raced toward hundreds of nearby homes, giving residents little warning. More than 14,000 acres and 440 homes went up in flames. In a nearby neighborhood, 286 homes were totally destroyed. One home was left standing in the midst of hundreds of piles of ash. Why did this one home survive? The surviving house was built with fire prevention in mind and it worked.
Native plants are those that were growing in a particular area prior to European settlement. North Carolina has a wide variety of native plants because of our diverse landscape of coastal plains, swamps, piedmonts and mountain areas.
Native plants aren't just for people who have acreage to devote to restoring prairies. There are many reasons to consider using native plants in your home landscape.
There are two important vegetable facts to remember: 1) They are packed with great taste and good nutrition; and 2) few Americans get the full benefit of vegetable nutrition, because most of us do not eat enough.
Kids need a cup of veggies a day, while adults need 2-1/2 to 3 cups daily. Get some vegetable power in your life by trying them a variety of forms.
Choose fresh vegetables
Learn the right techniques for handling, preparing, serving and storing foods safely during the ServSafe Food Safety for Restaurant Managers class offered in four sessions on March 21, 28, April 4 and April 11 at the Training Center in the Cooperative Extension building (Building N) at the Government Center in Bolivia.
The four-hour classroom sessions will begin at 12:30 p.m. each day. Participation is required at all four sessions.
Use worms to turn your kitchen scraps into a rich crumbly compost that when added to soil will boost plant health and growth.
Composting your kitchen scraps not only keeps them out of the landfill, it also provides an excellent soil amendment and natural fertilizer that will improve your soil, boost plant growth and increase plant drought tolerance and pest resistance.
Nutrition experts agree that vibrant, brightly colored, whole foods are often the healthiest choices as wells best bargains in the grocery store. They tend to be nutrient-rich, meaning that more nutrition is packed into every calorie.
On the other hand, processed and packaged foods tend to have more fat, sodium, and added sugars (with bright artificial colors rather than natural goodness). These items also tend to cost more because you pay for fancy packaging and advertising.
I just finished taking a weeklong class offered once a year at North Carolina State University on turf management. I have always been one of those gardeners who would prefer planting beds and flowers instead of a nice green lawn. I honestly have a new appreciation for turf after this course.
In late winter and early spring, garden centers are receiving their new plant material. When you go to the garden center, how do you decide what to buy, given so many choices and so many types?
The first thing to do is check out the label that is attached to the plant. This will indicate the hardiness zone, mature size of the plant, sun and shade requirements and what the watering requirements are for this particular plant.

Atlanta Public Schools has reached another milestone in its efforts to get back in the good graces of an agency that governs public school accreditation.
In a Nov. 5 letter to APS Superintendent Erroll Davis, the Georgia AdvancED Council confirmed that Atlanta's school system is being moved to full accreditation.
AdvancED, a nonprofit school accreditation firm based in Alpharetta, Ga., had put APS high schools on probation in January of last year, citing a "dysfunctional" school board.

5 Questions with Dr. Jonathan Haas – on Prostate Cancer
Dr. Jonathan A. Haas and I first met last September as guests on New York's WABC Radio where we discussed prostate cancer awareness, preventative measures, screenings and treatment options. Dr. Haas, M.D., is Chief of Radiation Oncology at Winthrop-University Hospital of Long Island, NY. He isn't my doctor, but I feel it's important as I travel the country to meet some of our country's leading researchers and doctors, from whom I get a variety of perspectives and answers to your many questions. A cancer diagnosis can be a scary thing — I know, I've been there — but knowledge helps reduce the level of anxiety, especially when it comes to considering treatment options.

Anyway, I got a ride home and fell asleep on the couch in the front room while my mom was lecturing me. I was literally blacked-out by then. Well, it turns out that in the middle of the night, I got up, still blacked-out, went into my sister's room with her husband there, opened their clothes drawer and peed all over their folded clothes.
From what I hear, my sister was yelling "pinch it off! pinch it off!" to her husband, and he was saying back, "I'm not touching that dang thing, you pinch it off".
I got up the next morning and my sister and her kids were having breakfast in the dining area which was just behind the couch, and they were just glaring at me. It was an 'if looks could kill' type of glare. Then I heard the news of my previous evening's exploits. I got kicked out of my sister's house that day.
