Girls Producer Judd Apatow Talks Backlash: The Girls Are Supposed to Be Brats
Much of the backlash over HBO's polarizing new show Girls and its creator, star, and writer Lena Dunham, has to do with distaste for the main characters' perceived sense of entitlement. Also, age-equivalent critics found the show uncomfortably (and, they say, inaccurately) depictive of their generation as a whole.
Co-executive producer Judd Apatow recently explained at the Tribeca Film Festival, that the critics who didn't find the show relatable enough, or took personal offense to a show about middle-class girls living in Brooklyn who are struggling to realize their dreams, probably just don't get the joke.
"It's supposed to be a comedy about women in New York who are really smart, but their lives are a mess. They know they should be doing great things, but they don't know what it is, and they have kind of a feeling of self-entitlement about it. That's the joke of the show … Most people get that, but I guess some people don't."
Taking a shot at explaining the negative reactions (amid the majority of positive reviews), Judd said, "There have only been a couple of people who took any issue with it, but anytime most people are positive, there are some people — just out of boredom — who will write the contrarian review because who wants to read only good reviews?"
As for the rightful charges that some critics (and fans) have made against the show for being too white-centric, Judd offers hope that Girls will expand its worldview in terms of race soon.
"The show will be on for a long time, so there's plenty of time to have every type of person on the show," adding, "We want it to reflect an honest life in New York, and we'll do all sorts of stuff by the time the show is over." This is in line with Lena's comments that she hopes to introduce more people of color in the second season.
Catch the next episode of Girls on Sunday, April 22 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

Scandal At East St. Louis' Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center?
Sure sounds like it after reading this huge story in yesterday's Belleville News-Democrat:
"A financially troubled charitable foundation headed by Olympic star Jackie Joyner-Kersee paid at least $457,000 in consulting fees to her husband's private foundation, which failed to file federal income statements as required by law.
The board of directors of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation voted to pay Robert Kersee's Diversity Through Sports Youth Foundation $327,000 in 2003, $35,000 in 2004, $20,000 in 2005 and $75,000 in 2006, according to public tax documents.
During the same years, the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation was losing millions and the East St. Louis youth center it runs was struggling to pay its bills, according to financial records.
More after this jump.
Here's the story's laundry list. It ain't pretty:
"Besides the $457,000 in consulting fees passed between the two foundations, financial statements for the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation show:
• Robert Kersee received a salary of $47,154 as president of his wife's foundation in 2001. A report stated that Kersee worked an average of two hours per week as president.
• The center had total revenue in 2006 of $1.61 million and expenses of $2.55 million, resulting in an operating deficit of $936,328, according to the foundations Form 990 filed in 2007, the latest report available.
• A payment of $33,000 in 2007 in consulting fees to a private, for-profit business owned by Robert Kersee, even though the corporate status of the business, Track, Court and Field Inc., was revoked in 2004, according to the Missouri secretary of state.
• The foundation paid $149,000 from 2005-07 to a business owned by the sister of Nino Fennoy, treasurer of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation and Joyner-Kersee's high school track coach. The money paid to the Fennoy Group of Fairview Heights was for human resources consulting.
• As of Dec. 31, 2007, the foundation owed $197,174 to Heptathlon Inc., listed on the foundation's annual report as a company owned by a relative of a foundation board member who was not identified, and an additional $48,000 to Track, Court and Field, even though the latter company no longer was registered as a business in Missouri. Missouri incorporation records for Heptathlon Inc. do not list the owners' names.ing to public tax documents.
There are a lot of rackets on the Eastside, let's hope the supposedly not-for-profit youth athletics center operated by the city's most celebrated athlete is not one of them.
Robert Kersee, also Jackie's coach, also guided East St. Louis' latest Olympic gold medalist, hurdler Dawn Harper.

Updated: 12/06/2012 12:07 PM KSTP.com By: Aaron Chalich
Last week I received two Blu-ray/DVD review copies of two movies that I had never seen before from Shout Factory.
"Death Valley" and "The Island" are the two latest installments to Scream Factory's collector series. I watched both of them and really had a great time watching them.
Death Valley
"Death Valley" came out in 1982 and stars Catherine Hicks(Child's Play), Paul Le Mat(Puppetmaster), Stephen McHattie(The Tallman) and Peter Billingsley(A Christmas Story).
Catherine Hicks plays a divorced mother who takes her son (Peter Billingsly) on a vacation to Death Valley to meet her new boyfriend.
It starts out as a normal vacation, but the son stumbles upon a murder and the maniac who is responsible is after them.
I really liked the story a lot and thought that it was very entertaining. I had never seen or heard of the movie before so it was fun watching it. I just thought it was fun seeing Peter in another early role and I just kept thinking it was "Ralphie" every time I saw him.
I did figure out the ending about half way through the movie, but it was still a very good movie.
The quality of the movie looked great and it was a good transfer. It didn't look too grainy or have any scratches from the film transfer. The movie sounded great and it is in DTS HD Master Audio Mono and Dolby Digital Mono.
One thing that I don't think I have mentioned before is the Blu-ray/DVD art on the covers of the Scream Factory movies. They are amazing. Each cover has two sides and they can be flipped to show a different cover.
The art is unique for each movie and looks great.
"Death Valley" comes with a Blu-ray DVD and a regular DVD. There are only a couple of special features on the DVD. You get the theatrical and television trailers for the movie which was fun to see. Plus there are trailers for "They Live" and "The Island." The other special feature is that there is audio commentary with director Dick Richards. This was interesting and fun to listen to. I learned a lot about the movie.
I really enjoyed "Death Valley" a lot and I know that I will be watching it again.
The Island
The Island was made in 1980 and stars Michael Caine (The Dark Knight Trilogy) and David Warner (Time After Time). The movie was written by Peter Benchley who also wrote "Jaws."
"The Island" is about an investigative writer (Michael Caine) who hears about passengers and boats disappearing in the Caribbean. He talks his boss into letting him cover the story so he takes his son to Florida with him. During the investigation he along with his son are captured by pirates and taken to an island.
His son is eventually brainwashed and turned into a pirate. The writer has to figure out a way to escape from the island and also rescue his son. There is a lot of action and intense moments.
I really liked the story and thought it was original. The movie is almost two hours long and it did seem a little slow in some parts, but the action and drama made up for it.
The quality of the film looked really good and is in anamorphic widescreen. I was a little nervous because I watched the trailer and it was very grainy and I was hoping the movie wasn't like that at all. It wasn't and it looked great. The audio was also really good. It is in DTS HD Master Audio 2.0 and Dolby Digital Surround Sound.
"The Island" comes with both a Blu-ray DVD and regular DVD. I really liked this a lot and think it's great that they do this. The only extras on the DVD are a trailer for the movie, along with the trailers for "Death Valley," and "They Live.
It would have been nice to have seen more extras, but I am guessing that there really was nothing else to put on there.
I really enjoyed watching Shout Factory's "Death Valley" and "The Island" Blu-ray/DVD collector's movies. I had never seen them before and it is always fun watching something new.
I would highly recommend to horror movie fans to add both of these movies to your collections.

Admission Guidelines
The total undergraduate and graduate enrollment of Lehigh University is regulated by action of the Board of Trustees, with a resulting limitation in the number of candidates who can be admitted each year to the various divisions of the university.
Because of the limitations on enrollment, the Office of Admissions, under the leadership of the Vice Provost of Admissions and Financial Aid, conducts a selective review of candidates for admission. Several criteria are used in an attempt to predict a student's ability to successfully complete four years of rigorous study at Lehigh University.
The material that follows pertains to undergraduates. Graduate students should consult Admission to Graduate Standing.
The admission policy of the university is designed to enroll students with a variety of backgrounds. The course work or units required for admission represent the equivalent of the usual four-year college preparatory curriculum with certain specific courses required for enrollment in certain programs within the university. Evidence of academic growth, ability to learn, and motivation are examples of qualities that may not be reflected in the accumulation of units. Such qualities are also considered by the Committee on Admissions.
Minimum subject matter requirements
|Foreign Languages 1
|Social Science
|Laboratory Science
|College Preparatory Mathematics
|Elective Subjects
|Total Credits
Only in exceptional cases, and for otherwise well-qualified candidates, will the Committee on Admissions waive the Foreign Language requirement for admission to any one of the three undergraduate colleges.
Students planning on enrolling in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science must have studied mathematics through trigonometry, and should have studied chemistry, physics and mathematics through pre-calculus. Calculus is strongly recommended. Students planning to enroll in the College of Business and Economics must have completed mathematics through trigonometry, but also should strongly consider taking pre-calculus and calculus. Candidates for the College of Arts and Sciences preparing for a Bachelor's of Science degree must also take math through trigonometry.
Minimum course work requirements can be misleading since most students who gain admission to Lehigh University exceed the minimum course work. Strength of preparation may be difficult to assess since each individual comes from a different background. However, the Committee on Admissions will be aware of things such as (in no particular order):
- Rank or relative rank in class
- The student's grades within the context of the school environment
- Evidence of improvement or deterioration in grades during the secondary school career with particular attention paid to performance in senior year courses
- The quality of performance in courses that relate to the student's anticipated area of study
- The difficulty of courses taken with special attention given to courses recognized as accelerated by national academic organizations
- Comments and recommendations from the principal, headmaster, guidance counselor, teachers, or other professional educators within the school system
- Performance on standardized testing
- Extra-curricular/work experience with particular emphasis placed on demonstrated leadership
- Demonstrated interest in Lehigh University

COLUMBIA CITY — For some, Christmas involves more than receiving — giving too.
That is certainly true for Kelly Maloy of Columbia City. What started as an idea has morphed into a reality beyond her wildest dreams.
Maloy posted on Facebook recently, asking that her friends remember their animal friends and donate $1 to the Whitley County Humane Society.
Individuals could send their dollars to her, and she would make the donation just before Christmas.
Maloy said the success of her endeavor has already surpassed her expectations.
"It's been an overwhelming experience, trust me," she said. "It's been awesome."
Maloy helps people every year at Christmas, and she decided this year to help animals as well.

Warming UpJune 26th, 2014 at 11:27 am by Pamela Gardner under Weather
The lifting fog has created a cloud deck in northern Indiana and that's where we have cooler temps. Eventually those clouds break apart this afternoon. Partly cloudy skies for the rest of the day and highs in the low to mid 80s. A stray shower or storm is possible, but most of us will enjoy a dry day.

FORT PIERCE - Eldest son of Southern Rock legend Greg Allman of the Allman Brothers, Michael Allman will be co-headling the Taste of New Orleans Blue & Brews Festival Feb. 7-8 with Kelly Richey, who has been described as "Stevie Ray trapped in a woman's body… with Janis Joplin screaming to get out…" .
The festival promises to bring some culture to the downtown area. There will be plenty of food cooked "N'awlins" style.
"Anything you can get on Bourbon Street, we will have it," said event coordinator Kevin Vanover. " My phone won't stop ringing. They are calling from as far as Charlotte trying to find a place to stay here in Fort Pierce."
The festival kicks off Friday afternoon with local band The McColley Bros Proper from 3:30-6:30 p.m. and then the festivities kick it up a notch with the Porchdogs ,a band based out of Orlando that is sure to get the party rockin'! The Porchdogs play true cajun/zydeco music and will bring a great flair to the festival. Saturday morning they start the party off at 10 a.m. with 5th Element and Smokefog, both local bands following them. At 5 p.m., Kelly Richey hits the stage followed by Michael Allman.
Their will be plenty of things for the kids to do as well, with a giant kidzone and lots of other kids activities. Vendors will line the street displaying their art and crafts, jewelry and much, much more.
Proceeds from this year's event will go to http://maxcurefoundation.org/
Bring in your old kicks and drop them off at the "Dunk your Kicks" booth for a special prize.
Parking is available in the downtown parking garages as well as downtown Ft Pierce, the River Walk Center, Capt Jax, Buckshot Bay and various other designated areas.

Thanks. The story was written early this year, when it was still open. I really liked that place.
Bill: Same places every year? We don't make repeat visits on the Munchmobile. Pete and Elda's? Inferior pizza. I've said it in the paper, I said it in "A Slice of Jersey,'' the definitive guide to NJ pizza (which you really should pick up if you haven't already).
Our six stops were "kind of like a few miles from each other''? Montclair. Maplewood. Summit. Kingston. Hopewell. Westfield. In that order. Four different counties, and Kingston and Hopewell are well south of the Driscoll. We have just one day to do this, and I think we do a darn good job covering as much ground as we do.
Munchmobile: 1,500 restaurants reviewed and counting. No one covers the state food scene even remotely like us. Don't forget we also reviewed 350 pizzerias - all over the state - on the Pizza Patrol.
End of commercial. Do me one big favor - recommend places before we go on a trip. Maybe we can get you on the Big Dog some day . .
So when are you going to drop some off?
I love both places, but they're not the kind of pizzas we were looking for. Gourmet pizzas, with the kind of high-end ingredients listed in the story.
I'm from Trenton.
thanks. Hopefully no one will be surprised any longer when they see me behind the wheel!
Kingston - just north of Princeton on Route 27.
thanks, but we visited them a couple years ago.
thanks! check out the rest of the series - and my choice for the state's best dining town . .
This note appears in every Munchmobile story:
Where should we go? Call the Munchmobile Hotline at (973) 392-1765 or e-mail email@example.com.
No one recommended them.
there are not many worthy non-chain places on Rt. 1 in either county. One place we had hoped to hit was Dragonfly in Linden.
thanks. We depend on recommendations, and no one recommended them. Do they make their own pies? When we last did pies six years ago, none of the farm markets advertising "homemade pies'' actually made them - they bought them from outside vendors and baked them off.
his pies are terrific. Whatever you do, pick up a banana cream!
thanks. We try to cover as much ground as possible. I mentioned Springdale Farms in my book "Food Lover's Guide to New Jersey,'' but I don't think I've ever tried the pies. Will do one of these days. Springdale is the only working farm left in Cherry Hill.
birthday pie - great idea!
I'm glad someone got the reference! A pretty face, alas, I am not
Lyndhurst Pastry Shop our final stop on the Munchmobile last year. Loved the watermelon, lemon and pineapple ices.
Pat Thai is good, but Khun Thon (West Milford), Sawadee (Jersey City) and Siam Spice (Toms River) are better.
Love Halo Pub - one of the better chocolates out there. They were one of the finalists in our statewide Food Fight for Inside Jersey magazine.
I left a lot of worthy places off the list - Applegate Farms, Guernsey Crest, Scoops, Taylor's, Zita's, Mike and Annie's, Thomas Sweet, to name just a few.

lolz yea I've talked to him a couple times at Optima events. I get the impression he likes big power.
I have more modest aspirations, knowing how well I've done with 375whp ish I've got "modest" goals of 475-500whp from the new setup, should be relatively easy. my low under 4k RPM's power goals I don't need any more hp/tq than I have now although the LS3 could easily supply more (which is the rpm range on a typical auto-x) so I can do cam/flow mods to shift the power band and get more peak hp/tq up top where I'll use it on the road course.
at least thats the theory.

|Mike Copeland? negative, currently working with Brent Malone as I guess thats who the ridetech guys use. Mostly just hoping to source the required adapters and such to make this a drop in plug/play swap and then potentially a hotter cam.

|Very nice. What parts are you looking to source from Lingenfelter? Dealing with Mike?
|Yesterday 12:05 PM
for the Optima events they have no rules besides 200tw tires and over/under 3200lbs
for Gridlife time attack I've been running "street mod" which doesn't allow motor swaps and has a 285 wide tire limit, however since buying the 18x12s and 335's I have to move into "track mod" and track mod does allow motor swaps so I'm covered there too!

Morning all!
got great news today, new GMPP crate LS3 is going into my car this week! its a stock 6.2l that makes 450hp compared to my 5.7l that made 405hp, although I'm hoping a couple parts from Lingenfelter help widen the HP gap a bit more!

Steve Carter
Steve Carter
Vineyard Manager, Paso Robles
J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines
Steve Carter has worked in the wine industry virtually his entire adult life. After graduating from the University of California, Davis with a degree in viticulture, he and his wife moved to New Zealand. They settled in the South Island, where they developed their own small vineyard, and managed several others, while Steve worked as a grower's representative for a large winery.
Returning to California, Steve moved to Paso Robles in 1989 where he met and began working for Jerry Lohr. As viticulturist for J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, Steve oversaw the meticulous development of several vineyards in San Luis Obispo County, while also consulting on vineyards owned by Jerry in Monterey and Sacramento counties. In 1995, with J. Lohr's ever-growing Paso Robles vineyards demanding more and more attention, Steve switched hats, taking on the position of vineyard manager, and overseeing the cultivation of such esteemed properties as Seven Oaks and Hilltop vineyards.
Grape growing in Paso Robles provides plenty of challenges and rich opportunities as the vineyard and winery teams work side-by-side to produce top-quality wines. In the vineyards, this ongoing endeavor includes: experimenting with numerous varietal clones and rootstock combinations, optimizing irrigation to achieve appropriate vine stress, adjusting cropping levels, and optimizing sun exposure on the fruit to enhance red grape composition. Under Steve's guidance, this exacting work has yielded world-class fruit for J. Lohr's three tiers of award-winning wines – J. Lohr Estates, J. Lohr Vineyard Series and J. Lohr Cuvée Series.

Good food and on time delivery.
Posted by Richard on 08/26/2008
We ordered lunch for our office, they had something that meets everybody's taste, pizza, subs, salads, wings and a whole lot more. Everybody got what they wanted. Delivery was on time and it worked out great for us. I will definitely order again from them.
Posted by Tim on 07/03/2008
Not Authentic Italian, Not authentic New York, Not Authentic Chicago. The place is authentic Pennsylvania, which does not rank high on my styles of pizza. I called the number on their flier, but it is their national number, not their local number so I had to wait 15 minutes to be transferred. The delivery took 40 minutes and the guy called me 3 times on the way. When he came, they forgot the bruschetta, so I had to call the national line again, wait to be transferred once more and then I finally got the darn bruschetta. They gave me a bunch of coupons and vouchers, but I wouldn't want to eat there again. I guess some places need coupons and vouchers to stay open. If it were free I would eat it, but if I had to pay, probably wouldn't order again.

Talk:SCP-173 "The Sculpture"
Back to page
11,636pages on
this wiki
this wiki
A rather pointless article considering there's an entire separate wiki for the Foundation. Ravinoff 20:20, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
- It's okay as long as we keep just this article. SCP-173 was created before that wiki was even a thing, so it belongs here. This should be the only SCP article. Mr. Guy 20:35, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Hell, I wouldn't be too bothered if someone wanted to put a couple of mine here, either. Not that there's any point, but it's neat to see how much recognition we're getting online lately. Ravinoff 02:58, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
Was this copy-pasted from SCP Foundation wiki? Why am I asking - of course it was... I've played the alpha (SCP Containment Breach), and yeah - SCP-173 is pretty nerve-racking! The idea of having something that can't move if you look at it/ Moves when you're not looking isn't the most creative, but it's crazy effective in visual horror.
-- Evra the Lost 06:52, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
- This creepypasta existed before SCP was made. That's why SCP-173 is also referred to as "The Original."
--Grayjack 07:53, May 13, 2012 (UTC)Grayjack
This is awkward
What exactly happens, what does the sculpture do, whats the story line? :P

NFL Offseason
Michael Schottey Of Bleacher Report Joined Scott And Jeremy
Scott asked Michael to give his thoughts on the AFC North. He believes that the division is up for grabs. "This is the season of unbridled offense, every team got better. When you tell every teams fan base that they didn't get as better at the same rate as the teams around them, well you don't want to do that. So I think the AFC North is just wide open.

Serious Eats: Talk
Other uses for an Air Popper?
I have an Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Popper that I use for popcorn. Are there any other things I can use it for (ex. grains)?
*I read rice in a popcorn popper shatters into flaming pieces, so I'd rather not try that.

Join photographer and teacher Ben Long as he describes the tools, creative options, and special considerations involved in shooting with a DSLR camera at night or in low-light conditions, such as sunset or candlelight. The course addresses exposure decisions such as choice of aperture and shutter speed and how they impact depth of field and the camera's ability to freeze motion.
Ben also shows how to obtain accurate color balance in tungsten and fluorescent lighting situations, and how to postprocess the images in Photoshop to remove noise caused by higher ISO settings. He also demonstrates accessories that can greatly expand your low-light photography options.
The high ISO capabilities of today's cameras opens up a wealth of low-light and nighttime landscape shooting possibilities. But with those new opportunities comes some new problems, and in this chapter, we're going to look at the different issues you'll face when you take your camera out at night and point it at a landscape. Before we get into that though, I want to bring your attention to one thing. I'm standing here about 45 minutes after sunset, and I'm looking in the direction where the sun just went down. What I'm seeing with my eye is dark, a nice dark sky with bright city lights. But, if I point my camera at it and take a picture, I'm going to get something very different.
I cranked my ISO up to 3200, and at the moment, I'm just following what the camera thinks I should do. I am in program mode, and I'm taking its suggestion for shutter speed and aperture. When I take the shot--and it's a long shutter speed, because it's dark out here--I get this. That is not a dark sky. The afterglow of the sunset is still raging through the sky there, and I'm not just getting a really bright sky, I'm getting a really colorful sky. So I'm bringing this up because if you have this idea that oh! look over there, it's really dark, and I'm going to run and take a picture of that, if it's too soon after sunset, you're not going to get a dark sky; you're going to need to wait till later.
The upside of that is you get this beautiful color. It's this whole new kind of palette that you can work with here. I've got city lights on, but a really daytime-looking sky. It's a very interesting thing to play with, and what's great about it is you don't have to wait too long. You don't have to go out too late at night to begin to get this. Now, if I turn 180 degrees and shoot in that direction, I'm not going to have this. The sky really will look dark in the final picture over there. It's just when I'm pointing into the sunset. Get out a little bit after sunset, play with this. I think you'll find a number of new creative possibilities to explore.

Read Poems by
Jack Ellison
Meet the happy couple
That's Hilda all in white
Barney's there beside her
Loves her with all his might
They're an interracial couple
No problem nowadays
Frowned on not too long ago
But today it's a-okay
Met at the local horse saloon
Frequented by the equine crowd
She was a pretty show horse
He was boisterous and loud
Pretty soon, she tamed him
Settled him down just fine
Any filly would be proud to say
That stud over there is mine
Soon, a couple of months go by
Hilda's expecting a son
The happy couple race around
High hoof-ing everyone
Had a colt, called him Clyde
So proud of their little guy
Running through peaceful pastures
Then off to the clouds they fly
You can see this happy couple at night
When you view the evening sky
The three stars south of Orion
Are Barney, Hilda and Clyde

Ive just started using unity and have been trying to make a 2.5d sidescroller,i need help to make a platform rotate 90 degrees verticaly and then back....i would realy like to know how to do this...please help :)

Transform.Rotate() will rotate the platform around its midpoint. If you want to rotate around another point such as the edge, you'll need Transform.RotateAround() instead. With a little fiddling you should be able to figure out the vectors that work best for you, eg Vector3.forward or Vector3.left.

Thanx ive been trying it .... how would you write up a script for the platform... i think im doing somthing wrong
Oct 26, 2010 at 11:53 AM shaun lamminga
Hey thanx im really getting somewhere with the link you gave me ... all i need is you to edit my code so that it stops at 90 degrees for three seconds and then turns back.... sorry im not very experienced at all and you obviosly know what your doing... your help would be greatly appretiated

I have working code using these function, but there's working code and an explanation of the parameters in the Unity documentation pages already. In case you didn't spot those yet, they're at http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/index.html. If that doesn't make things clearer, if you could post an example of what you tried and why that wasn't working for you, we could help you better. Cheers. :)

thanx for the comment and the link although im kinda geting to know vectors i still have no idea of how to do this or use the transform script ... an example would help alot

Don't get me wrong, I have had fudgier brownies, but I made this recipe with a no-name $0.50 brownie mix, and it made them not only edible (they were fairly dry and gross with just the package directions) but very very moist and fudgey. I also tried this once more with sour cream instead of apple sauce and that worked out very well too. Thanks for a great recipe!
Didn't like the taste or texture.

this was delicious! very rich, chocolately and fudgey!
They weren't bad, but they didn't taste any better than regular box brownies.
pretty good. not worth all the high rankings. i think many boxed mixes are fudgier than this one. not bad, just nothing great.
wow - what a wonderful way to dress up regular boxed brownies - this one's a keeper!

Remember how when you were a kid and you made Valentine's cards for everyone in your class - and an extra special one for the pretty boy with the blond forelock who'd flunked the year before and now he was in your class? You were going to be his best friend, starting with the prettiest Valentine's card in your entire hand-made collection.
Well, you're all grown up now and that boy is probably watching the Super Bowl with a meatball hoagie - but there are plenty of other deserving friends and family in your life who need a little visit from Cupid. It's not easy for everyone on Valentine's Day. There are a lot of Miss Lonelyhearts out there - and Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to show them some love. Free from the burden of creation myths, Valentine's Day is about nothing so much as Eros and Amour.
Look around and celebrate those who put the amorous and erotic in your life - and make them love you a little more with any of these sensuous (and sensual...) gifts.
Montenisa Rosè
Pink champagne and Valentine's - it's a no-brainer. They belong together - like you and your boo.
First produced in 2006 in a village whose origins date back to 1158, Montenisa Rosè is from the Franciacorta area, highly regarded for its rich, fertile soil loaded with minerals. Granted the first and only Italian Brut D.O.C.G. appellation (reserved for the highest level of Italian wines) in 1995, the Franciacorta wines undergo a second natural fermentation in the bottles.
The resultant Montenisa Rosè is rosy pink in color, with a creamy foam and lingering perlage (which is a fancy word for "tiny bubbles," those little pinpricks of pleasure that cross the tip of your tongue with every sip of bubbly). Made of 100% Pinot nero grapes, the Montenisa Rosè releases vibrant aromas cloaked in 12.5% alcohol, which is just enough to loosen the tongue and sharpen the wit. Because, after all, doesn't everything look better through a flute of rose-colored champagne?
You're going to need two bottles of this one - and maybe a third, just in case you both get lucky, because as Balzac said, "Great love affairs start with Champagne..."
PRICE: $26 - 35 / 750 ml.

Jacques Torres Chocolates / William Dean Chocolates
Chocolates and roses and Valentine's go together like that threesome you knew in college: always together, always in bed, always beaming. And let's face it, you give your boo some chocolate and some roses, it's almost inevitable that Cupid's going to make sure you get some.
The thing is, when you're giving chocolate, you're giving a taste of yourself. The chocolate you give reflects back on you - so step it up and make sure you're giving good chocolate. Heaven knows there's an abundance of boutique chocolate out there these days, so pick up something worthy of your reflection. Consider chocolate aficionados Jacques Torres and William Dean.
Better known as "Mr Chocolate" (check out his domain name), Jacques Torres was a pioneer in Williamsburg, causing Manhattanites to flock over the river for his Jacques Torres Spicy Hot Chocolate. The star chocolatier's current flavors include grand cru, Earl Grey, pineapple pastis, Bin 27 port, golden espresso, ginger - and on and on with enough imaginative appellation to make you salivate in your sleep.
Founded in 2007, William Dean Chocolates is named in honor of the founder's father and grandfather. Everything at William Dean is made by hand in their Largo, Florida shop, in small batches without preservatives. If you haven't yet seen William Dean chocolates, you're in for a surreal surprise. The decorative chocolates appear in a wide range of evocative flavors such as lavender, key lime, bananas foster, crème brulee, grapefruit & tarragon, hot chocolate marshmallow, port with fig and plum, PB & J.
As for us, we're partial to William Dean's Mexican mango, an award-winning bon bon of milk chocolate ganache infused with fresh lime juice and a layer of mango pate de fruit with a green chile infused sea salt. Try repeating that - or better yet, hand a boxful to your Valentine right before you roll into bed.

If you're not the Victoria's Secret sort (and who are we to sit in judgement?), then you might try out MensUnderwearStore, which has their own Underwear of the Month club. Who needs Cookie of the Month club, when you could be receiving briefs that enhance your package (rather than packing on the pounds with cookies).
For example, the December/January Underwear of the Month at MensUnderwearStore was the All Star No Show brief from 2(x)ist. Made of 57% cotton, 37% modal, and 6% Spandex, these briefs not only showcase your wares, but they're also delicious to wear - and equally nice to remove.

Jurlique: Rose Hand Cream / Love Balm
A rose is a rose is a rose, wrote Miss Gertrude Stein - who knew how to hold on to a partner for life. But who needs a bouquet of roses when you can, instead, offer your Valentine a tube of Jurlique's Rose Hand Cream.
Ever since 1985, Jurlique founders, Dr. Jurgen Klein and his wife, have farmed a small corner of south Australia, cultivating more than 35 herbs and flowers for their all natural skincare line. The 153-acre Jurlique farm uses no pesticides or herbicides in order to maintain a completely biodynamic organic business.
Fragranced with calendula, viola - and yes, rose, Jurlique's Rose Hand Cream deeply moisturizes and protects the hands of the one you love.
Give this to your sweetest Valentine, along with Jurlique's Love Balm. Because who could resist a product called Love Balm? A moisturizing salve scented with tangerine oil, Jurlique's Love Balm protects dry and chapped skin, thanks to a beeswax base and oils of olive, soybean, and safflower.
Packaged in a sweet little pot (perfect for the pocket or the manbag) Jurlique's Love Balm is meant for lips, fingers, elbows - and any other body part that needs a little extra tender loving care. Gertrude Stein would know how to use it.
PRICE: $25.00 / 1.4 oz (40 ml) / Rose Hand Cream $15.00 / Love Balm

I am Edwin's grand daughter, and I remember my mother (Emma Ault) Edwin's daughter, commenting that she was given a chip carved bread board to her by her mother (Emma Hermine Ault) who had made it. This was used at my home on the meal table for many years. The underside was used to slice bread. My grandmother was probably taught chip carving by her husband, Edwin.
My dad put a hanging hook onto the back so that it could be hung up on the wall.
Edwin's walking stick - I have very clear memories from my childhood of 'Gar Gar' using the walking stick, every day, with his pipe in his mouth and his cap on his head. He needed a walking stick because he had an ulcer on his leg.
As far as memory serves me, each daughter was given various wooden pieces as special gifts - book ends, vases, picture plaques.
Many thanks,
PS: Can you please ask Michelle to fix the '?' which should be ''', which seem to be in each Ault record. Many thanks! Liza :)

Carving - Bread Board, Edwin Ault, 1900-1950 Reg. No: ST 034256
- Summary:
- Chip carved bread board with the inscription "Our Daily Bread" carved into the surface along with a design of wheat & vines. Made of native cherry (exocarpus cupressiformis) (santalaceae). The seal on back reads "13/carved bread board E. Ault". Made by Edwin Ault within the period 1900-1950.
Edwin Ault was raised in Dromana, Victoria and was a first generation immigrant from Staffordshire, UK. Edwin worked as a motor mechanic and also spent a period fixing jetties.
Edwin's love for wood work was shared by his family. His father, H.W Ault, possessed a strong interest in wood and plants, and Edwin's brother, Ernest Ault, was a builder, joiner and woodworker. Edwin was keen to share his passion for his craft and would often show family members and friends how to do woodwork. It has been suggested by family members that Edwin's wife made some of the woodwork objects in their home, including for instance, some bread boards.
In 1912, at age 32, Edwin met and married his wife (Emma Hermine Ault nee Wilhelm). They lived in Lakes Entrance (initially known as Cunningham), where they raised their children. Recurrent motifs in Edwin's work including, for instance, the greenhood orchid, reflect the indigenous and introduced flora which grew in the locality of his property in Lakes Entrance. Edwin's work, whilst highly decorative in its detailed representation of plants, was also designed to serve functional purposes. Egg cups, carving boards and book ends were used by his family on an every-day basis, and are still remembered fondly by Edwin's grandchildren.
Inscriptions on Edwin's work provide us with insight into the everyday life of the Ault family. The Ault's were a religious family, as reflected in one of Edwin's bread boards which quotes the Lord's Prayer. It is suspected that another inscription, on an egg cup (the initials: ?H.A'), was Edwin's dedication to one of his children, probably his oldest daughter Helen (donor of the items). Alternatively, it is possible these initials reference his son, Harvard (Ardy).
In his work, Edwin favoured a free form approach. He respected the original form of the wood and would shape it according to its natural pattern and form. It is believed that some of his pieces, including for instance, one of his picture frames, is made of drift wood. Edwin would air-dry his wood, or sometimes season it by placing it in crayfish pots, and steeping it in river and sea water. It is significant that Edwin's work utilises functional elements such as bolts and screws, reflecting his background in engineering. Edwin's work, with its intricate depictions of indigenous Australian and introduced plants, and its highly functional elements drawn from engineering practice, can provide valuable insight into the Australian arts and crafts movement and the lifestyle of Victorian families of the time.
