These are some of the most influential, famous and historically important human beings of all time (who also happened to be huge, shameless perverts and/or sexual deviants.) Sure they were all a little predatory, but we wouldn't be where we are without these forward-thinking men who, in modern day, would have red dot above their house in a government database.

Marquis De SadeWHO WAS HE?
Marquis De Sade was a French aristocrat, revolutionary, and writer. He's most famous for being a rat bitched and bringing porn/sex to people in a time where showing off your ankles was s**tty.
Marquis de Sade became famous for his libertine sexuality and lifestyle (ie, a person without moral restraint, free thinkers, like people in the 60s only less happy), but mostly for his erotic and pornographic novels.
He also contributed to the "sex industry", leaving the world with the practice of S&M. That's right, everyone, the man invented S&M. How? Well, first of all, it's NAMED after him.
The term, "Sadism", is based on Marquis de SADe: the idea of developing pleasure as a result of inflicting pain. "Masochism" is first seen in some of De Sade's more Gothic-inclined sexual novels, where, for example, the female character is bound and tormented, but also fondled, and develops a kind of attraction to her tormentors. It's basically torture porn (only not directed by one-trick pony Hollywood directors.)
Sade's sexual tales began with an affair with his wife's sister, imprisoning a so-called prostitute for sexual pleasure and abuse (she escaped from the second floor window and ran away ... possible idea for a Disney film? Title: "Rapunzel"...), and poisoning 2 manservants with the Spanish Fly aphrodisiac (even though African Fly is actually stronger, newb. What?)
Being the good wife that she was, Sade's wife then joined as his accomplice in hoarding sexual slaves and staffed the castle with young "employees" of both genders for Sade's pleasure.
That's how this guy rolled and why he's at the top of this list. The guy didn't have a Sex Dungeon, he had a freakin' Sex CASTLE.
During his life, Sade was in prison or the insane asylum for 32 years, though, due to his prolific writing and sexual deviance.
Napoleon Bonaparte (another pervert who used to write to his mistress long poetry about her pubic hair, no foolin') ordered the final arrest of Sade, but the libertine was able to score one more affair with a 13-year old for 4 years before he passed on in 1814. He laughs at Chris Hansen from his grave.
Notably, he was in the insane asylum at the time, which would 100% make him win the "weirdest place you've made whoopie" game at your local baby shower.
Sade's main goal in his writings was to create "the most impure tale that has ever been written since the world exists." Not bad for his time.

Aleister CrowleyWHO WAS HE?
Aleister Crowley was a British writer, prophet and magician, though not quite the bunny-in-a-hat type that most people love. The real kind. The kind that does a lot of drugs, doesn't shower and has sex with people as part of his religion.
He was a well-known occultist. As prophet of his new religion, Crowley developed Thelema, a polytheistic religion that ushered in the belief that its followers should follow their own "True Will" and neglect their ego.
Basically he was a famous almost-real-life-warlock who stirred up a bunch of people at a time when it was relatively easy to stir people up.
Apparently, the faith parallels that idea that the (at the time) new 20th century would usher in a new ethical code that would be followed as the beginning of the Aeon of Horus: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law".
FUN FACT: His magik-"stuff" is the basis of the plot of "Sherlock Holmes" (the Robert Downey Jr. one.)
Crowley not only founded a religion based on magik, he also founded something called "Sexual Magic" (no, this wasn't discovered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Sting), which is basically just using orgasms and/or arousal (and sometimes fluids) as parts of a spell. That's the class that Hogwarts doesn't teach until the last year.
Here are some great quotes of his on Sexual Magic, and how best to go about it (take out your pens and pads!):
- In the "New Comment" to The Book of the Law, "the Beast 666 adviseth that all children shall be accustomed from infancy to witness every type of sexual act, as also the process of birth, lest falsehood fog, and mystery stupefy, their minds.
Translation: all kids should see every kind of sexual act as soon as they get control of their motor skills. They also have to witness a birth. Never lie to your kids (so no Santa Claus, I guess).
- "... Politeness has forbidden any direct reference to the subject of sex to secure no happier result than to allow Sigmund Freud and others to prove that our every thought, speech, and gesture, conscious or unconscious, is an indirect reference!"
Everyone have sex whenever you want, do what feels right. Go nuts, kids, and in about 70 years listen to KISS.
Freud is the founder of psychiatry and the initiator of the "Talking Cure" (aka, $300/hour for a person who won't chew your head off if you don't shut up about your life). He identified the study of psychoanalysis, bringing forth repressed thoughts and feelings into consciousness. Oh, and he recommended a great antidepressant: cocaine. He also believes we all want to bang our parents and, for some reason, smoke penises.
He broke down the psyche into three components of personality: the Id ("pleasure principle", wants us to bang everything), the Ego ("reality principle"), and the SuperEgo (the aim for perfection, mainly unconscious and contains the person's "ego ideals" aka the conscience).
Freud admittedly had sexual feelings for his mother and his following work/research, although extremely useful and revolutionary, was basically one big, long "am I right guys? No? But what if..."
Obviously, this turned into excellent research material, where Freud conceived the "Psychosexual Theory", identifying 5 key stages of libido development.
Yes, the libido begins developing at birth. After all, according to Freud, infants are primitive sexual beings. The stages of development are aptly titled the Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, and Genital stages. As part of the Phallic phase, Freud "uncovers" the subconscious sexual attachment children have to the parent of the opposite sex. Naturally, this leads to jealousy and a host of other emotional issues, which then contribute to repressed memories and feelings, ultimately driving up the cost and time of "talking cure" sessions.
Of course, Freud never tested his theory on babies himself, but did use the findings of his adult patients' psychoanalysis to uncover these "truths".
"Hey, so uh, pretty sexy kid ya got there, mind if I ask you a few questions?..."
When asked about sexual perverts, Freud identifies his own father for his sexual perversion and contribution to his brother's hysteria (aka mentally insane).
"I learned it from watching YOU!"
James Joyce was an author responsible for seminal works like a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Dubliners, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. He's one of the greatest English writers of all time. He's one of those authors that screamo bands name themselves after because they just learned about him in AP English class. He's that good.
He is one of the most remembered figures of the Modernist movement and helped usher in a new way of writing language. His writings experimented with structure in ways that have never done before and changed the way people read words. He had a chapter with five letters in it. Nobody'd done that before.
He is responsible for some of literature's greatest moments and has taken people to new places and emotions they've never felt before. He proves that words never die.
Well, for one thing, he liked to fart on people's faces while having sex (and no, he wasn't Canadian). He even wrote really passionate letters about it. Check it out right here.
A few favorite fart quotes:
" if a gave you a bigger stronger f**k than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an asse full of farts that night, darling, and I f**ked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole."
We are not kidding. These are real quotes from one of literature's greatest voices.
"It is wonderful to f**k a farting woman when every f**k drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also."
Needless to say, to all high school undergrads, you finally have English essay material. And now I say, "Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little f**kbird!" You don't see that quoted on Barnes & Noble billboards.
EDIT MADE: Thanks to everyone in the comments for your help. I can't believe I did that!
Mahatma Gandhi led the non-violent civil rights movement against British imperialism in India.
Though he took a vow of celibacy at age 37, Gandhi practiced the art of sleeping next to young naked girls to test himself sexually. His subjects were often young female followers, one of whom was his own 18-year-old grand-niece. And what they did was "non-sexual activity" which included strip teasing, group bathing, and lap-dancing - all for the chaste.

Henry the 8thWHO WAS HE?
King of England from 1509 to 1547. Much like most guys that look like Kevin James in King of Queens, he was married 6 times. He separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Dissolved the monasteries. Oversaw the legal union of England and Wales. Banged all kinds of chicks constantly and did it with the blessing and permission of each and every one of them (even if they didn't know it) because he was the king. He was underwhelmed.
Without a very distinctive name (Henry, the 8th), he is quite possibly most famous for his dissatisfaction with marriage (married 6 times). Or, perhaps for the fact that he became grossly obese and developed pus-filled boils all over his body prior to his passing. Or because was known for taking breakups worse than most female leads of romantic comedies.
Quite possibly the most popular historical figure who was constantly dissatisfied sexually, he either had the worst possible dumping method or found the greatest excuse in history to keep sampling women like they were 4 different kinds of sausages at CostCo.
Never satisfied with any of his wives, Henry VIII ordered them to death if they could not produce a male heir.
He went through 6 wives (and countless other women, according to HBO) and was never reprimanded for being such a scoundrel. He's quite possibly the only sex-crazed historical pervert on this list that was revered for his perviness.
Henry died from obesity and pus-filled boils that covered his body. It was not lupus.
I just lost a bet, he's not a vampire. Caligula was once a Roman Emperor, his name being a nickname that means "little soldier's boot." And that's not the only booty associated with him. See what I did there? You're welcome.
Being Roman Emperor near the beginning of time, from 37 to 41 AD. That's right, no four digits. This guy is old school. He succeeded Tiberius as Emperor, immediately making him loved. Because he wasn't Tiberius, who reportedly was a gloomy, sad man who ended his reign in complete terror [insert Bush joke]. So for the first seven months, his empire was joyous. Because he wasn't Tiberius.
Because he was friggin' Caligula.
Apparently bored all the time as presiding Emperor, he killed on a mere whim since video games hadn't been invented yet and once ordered a crowd to be tossed to the lion's pit because he was bored.
And when not satisfying his thirst for killing, he slept around, made fun of people below his stature and indulged in countless accounts of sex.
He converted a palace into a brothel, a brothel (eat THAT Gandhi, sex castle? Sex PALACE) staffed by the wives of Senators, which is what I would do if I were Obama.
It's no surprise that he died after only four years of rule via assassination by, you guessed it, The Senate.
He also, apparently, looked like Joshua Jackson.
An engineer. A famous one. Why, you ask? Oh not yet?...
His work helped usher in space travel and the rocket age. He might be considered the very first rocket scientist. A mathematical genius, he perfected the power of thrust in MULTIPLE areas of his life.
To put it shortly, he became involved in a cult initiated by Aleister Crowley.
As head of the so-called Agape Lodge, he pioneered not only rocketeering, but the Babalon Working: a ritual meant to produce an incarnation of the goddess Babalon. The rituals involved a heavy use of sex magick and Parsons must have gone through a lot of women to find his goddess. It was presided over by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology who acted as a scribe before his prophet days.
Soon he met Marjorie Cameron and deemed her the product of previous rituals. They even tried to produce a Moonchild together though sex magick, or as most people call it "had sex".
Reports say the child is pale, has a round face and a horrible, horrible complexion.
An 18th century philosopher who helped form the modern political, sociological, and educational thought.
He's responsible for a lot of stuff you learn in college and then forget all about until you're trying to retroactively figure out philosophical themes on Lost. Here are some teachings of his you probably won't forget...
He wrote an autobiography (without a Snooki-style ghost writer) and revealed his need to be spanked to reach sexual arousal.
"He who loves well, punishes well." Further more, he reveals that this indiscretion started off in childhood when he was spanked hard by his headmistress and he knew then he felt more affection than fear of her hand.
No word yet on whether or not he invented the word "fanny". But it's pretty important, psychologically according to another pervert on this list, to factor in that one of the foremost philosophical thinkers of all time liked to get his paddlin' on.
This excerpt from a book about his life explains in wordier, fancy-written detail. . But all you need to do is look at his portrait and his stare. Even the painter could sense this was a dude that when he laughed to himself, you just didn't ask.
Just some Austrian classical composer who wrote A Little Night Music, Symphony no. 40, and the Requiem.
Yeah, good question. Besides being one of the most revered classical composers of all time and one of the most important musical human beings in history, he really didn't do very much.
Just take a look at the rest of his sterling repertoire and you'll find one particular unsung gem, Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber (translation: Lick me in the ass nice and clean). That's right, he wrote a song pre-dating Ludacris that gets this dirty. If this would have been written today it would've been called Lick My Ass (Nice and Clean) featuring 'Lil Wayne.
Really that says it all. Guess the movie Amadeus was right in showing Mozart as an Austrian Bart Simpson with a high off coke laugh. Check the video to your left to hear the classical piece. Lyrics are below. This is actually not a joke.
Lick my ass nicely,
lick it nice and clean,
nice and clean, lick my ass.
That's a greasy desire,
nicely buttered,
like the licking of roast meat, my daily activity.
Three will lick more than two,
come on, just try it,
and lick, lick, lick.
Everybody lick his own ass himself (which 'cmon, maybe this was about a dog...)
Either way, it was a damn perverted song for one of the greatest musical minds in human history and either way, I dare you to play this at your wedding. It's all in German so no one will know what they're saying, unless you're German.
Notice how all the voices are male.
The Captain America of being smart. Scientist extraordinaire.
Oh, just because he was appointed Time's Man of the Century and he is considered the father of modern physics and perhaps the greatest scientist ever. His dedication to advancing the pursuit of science was so focused, he even donated his brain to science for research after his death before it was a thing and people got those stickers on their drivers licenses.
His fist love was science and since science can't really offer any sexual relief, well.... It started off sad...
He spent a long time almost marrying someone he knocked up and when it finally happened, he developed feelings for his cousin. Who he then left for his secretary. Who he then left for... basically, the guy got around. We wouldn't use him as a measuring rod for intelligence if he couldn't close the deal every now and then.
He basically slept around until he blew a gasket and finally confessed to being "an emotional failure", he was basically like Helena Bonham Carter's character in Fight Club.
Founder of Latter Day Saints. Advocate for institutionalizing polygamy into his very own branch of Christianity. (Co?)Writer of the Book of Mormon.
He is considered a prophet for the Mormon church. Oh, and the multiple wives thing, he kinda pioneered that in America. But, there is a debate between LDS that Joseph Smith didn't introduce polygamy, Brigham Young did. Either way, this guy made it part of Christianity.
Let's see... the man had about 28 wives in his lifetime, claimed a revelation from God instructing him to gain plural wives (after asking consent from his first wife, naturally) in order to gain higher ranking in God's kingdom.
EXP points = Wives, apparently. He made the amount of chicks you could fit into one bed at the same time a contest that happens during a CHRISTIAN religion.
Oh, and his other revelation included the necessity of the Saints to take on native wives (ie, Native Americans) so they could become "white and delightsome" through plural marriage because he was an equal opportunity pervert, looking to diversify his herum.
It's Benjamin Franklin. If you don't know who he is, then go f**k yourself.
Beside being responsible for bringing us such phrases as "breaking out the Benjamins", he was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Franklin was deemed the First American with his colorful accomplishments: including strengthening US ties with foreign nations as ambassador, inventing the kite and furthering knowledge about electricity, spearheading the US Post Office as its first post-master general, and he also put his signature is on the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution of the United States.
He liked old women as mistresses. He was really into it. He also got around quite a bit and was pretty darn liberal for his time.
From this letter, Franklin describes in detail to his friend why he should pick old ladies over younger ones should he choose to engage in adultery.
The entire time, he still vows that marriage is a much more positive and beneficial union, but he offers no reasoning and instead offers proof on why old women are sexy, like this:
"Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion"
"only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one."
This quote basically lets you know that he was a pimp daddy with women of all ages, but preferred his women with experience and cooking skills.
Now how is this perverted? Although this seems fairly tame, at the time he was quite lascivious, as far as the forefathers went. Constantly chasing after women and even fathering an illegitimate son named William (who later became a governor of New Jersey). Even though it violated one of his virtues, Ben Franklin got around a bit (which really, should give all of us hope.)

What would happen if Daft Punk were not only tasked with drafting the score for "Tron Legacy" but also were given full creative control of the Disney-backed sequel? Well, it would probably rock, and it would probably look a lot like the group's just-released music video for "Derezzed."
The video pays deep respect to the 1982 original movie (light-cycles, black-and-neon grids, gladiator games) while staking out new visual territory and just being kinda weird (what's up with that bird?). For committed "Tron" nerds, the music video speaks in their language, but the uninitiated might be a bit lost. That's where MTV News comes in. Let's begin at the beginning, OK?
The video opens on a shot of Flynn's Arcade. The Flynn in question is Kevin (played in both movies by Jeff Bridges), a game designer working for a tech company called Encom until his creations are stolen by a nefarious rival, and he's promptly sacked. He ends up opening the arcade, which becomes a popular hangout in the early '80s. But running an arcade just ain't gonna cut it for a guy as ambitious as Flynn. He hatches a plan to break into Encom and prove the company's new games — such as Space Paranoids and Matrix Blaster — are actually his own.
Flynn's heart was in the right place, but what he didn't count on was an Encom mainframe capable of sucking him into a computer world. That's exactly what happens, and throughout the first film Flynn is forced to fight off all sorts of pixilated baddies. And that's pretty much what happens to the Daft Punk dudes when they pop a few quarters into that "Derezzed" video console.
There's no such game in the Encom world, but "derezzed" is an especially resonant word in the "Tron" universe: It's a sort of digital death in which your program essentially disappears. "Derez" is what happens to that unfortunate jouster late in the music video. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Back to Flynn's Arcade!
Once Daft Punk have powered up the game, their digital selves — "programs," in "Tron"-speak, which are written by "users" like Flynn — materialize in the game world as light-cycles that flicker into being. Of all the beloved "Tron" imagery, light-cycles are easily the most iconic. The vehicles are part of a gladiatorial racing game that Flynn created. Once inside the computer world, though, he finds himself actually racing along on them (the object is to make competitors crash into the trail of light your bike emits).
Daft Punk tweaks the light-cycle motif when it becomes clear these aren't just bikes but mechanized horses. We've got an old-fashioned joust on our hands! We haven't seen that before. But then, we haven't seen anything like this music video before. "Tron," while revolutionary in its time, hardly looks cool by 21st-century standards; its chunky graphics and limited color palette are amusingly outdated. "Tron Legacy," by contrast, brings to bear the very latest in computer-generated imagery; it is reminiscent of, but distinctly different from, its progenitor.
The music video splits the difference with a retro-contemporary hybrid: This is the 1982 aesthetic cut through with 2010 moviemaking technology. It's both for the old-school geeks for whom "Tron" is akin to scripture and the whippersnappers who, sure, know something about the original film, but would never, like, sit down and watch it yet still are psyched to see the new flick when it hits theaters December 17.

Scorpio Blue Notebook Hard Drive Stores 750 GBytes on Two Disks
The 2.5" SATA Scorpio Blue hard drive from Western Digital has the highest storage capacity of any notebook drive, according to its maker.
The data density of the WD Scorpio Blue mobile hard drive is 375 GBytes per disk, so that the two disks can store 750 GBytes on a drive that is a mere 0.374 inches high. A buffer size of 8 MBytes and a rotational speed of 5,400 RPM add to the specifications. Western Digital has contributed a number of new technologies to the drive. These include Advanced Format, WhisperDrive capacity enhancement, search optimization, ShockGuard, and SecurePark to park the write/read head in a secure position off the disk surface when not in use.
The drive with the model number WD7500BPVT is available at selected outlets. Western Digital suggests a retail price of $149 and provides a three-year limited warranty.

Russell Westbrook Will Play With Sore Wrist
ATLANTA — Russell Westbrook took a hard fall late in the third quarter Monday against San Antonio.
But coach Scott Brooks said his point guard will play tonight at Atlanta.
"He just has a heart of gold," Brooks said. "He does not want to ever let anybody know that he's banged up. His wrist is a little sore, but he's fine tonight. He's going to be fine. Minutes, I don't have to worry about monitoring any minutes."
Westbrook crashed to the floor with 3 1/2 minutes left following a drive to the basket. He collided with Spurs forward DeJuan Blair as Blair stepped in front of the basket seeking to draw a charge. Westbrook remained on the floor for a few seconds before getting up and clutching his wrist. He stayed in the game to shoot both free throws and played through any pain or discomfort he might have felt throughout the remainder of the game.
Asked after the game about his wrist, Westbrook said only that he was fine.
Westbrook has never missed an NBA game. He leads all active players in consecutive games played.
Tonight, he will extend his streak to 337.

Econ 101 – supply and demand. When you're looking for stocks to buy, you want to make sure there's a demand in the marketplace. Then you want to figure out who has the supply and in what quantity.
My favorite space right now is cyber security. Why? There's a ton of demand. Let's look at that for a second, then we'll move on to who has the supply.
China, Russia, North Korea and Free Agent Hackers
Demand in cyber security is created by hackers, and there are plenty of them. They are all around the world.
Hackers include criminals who are looking for credit card data, personal data for identity theft and so on. Hackers also include internal employees like Edward Snowden who just walk out with the documents on a thumb drive.
But others include entire states. And I'm not talking about Vermont. I'm talking big ones, like China and Russia.
But I'm also talking about small ones that can and have done a ton of damage in cyberspace, like North Korea.
So I have a question. Will hacker activity go up or down over time? Stupid question with an obvious answer. Maybe so obvious most investors overlook it.
Investing in Cyber Security for the Lazy (HACK)
Okay, so if you don't want to sit there and dig into individual cyber security companies, there's a solution for you. They're called ETF's. If you don't know what ETF's are, google it.
But in short, they are ways you can invest in one thing (stock) and let someone else to do the grunt work of picking the right stocks.
The one for cyber security stocks right now is called Factorshares Trust – PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF, also known as HACK (stock symbol).
You can buy it just like you would a stock. Easy.
FireEye, Inc (NASDAQ: FEYE)
FireEye provides real-time threat detection and prevention. They're an innovative, forward-thinking tech companies.
They are also buying other promising cyber security companies. Early this year, they acquired another firm called Mandiant.
They are currently a $7.59 billion in market cap and their share price is up 54% year to date.
Fortinet Inc (NASDAQ: FTNT)
Similar company to FireEye, they do most network security solutions. They are well-positioned to take advantage of the IoT (internet of things) revolution, where microchips are being placed in everything.
They are currently at $6.8 billion in market cap and their share price is up 30.28% year to date.
Old School Players
Maybe you don't like the risk of a company focusing on one market, even though it's a good one. There are some old school stocks that have their hand in cyber security too.
IBM and Cisco are large Fortune 500 companies that are developing cyber security products and services. But they are diversified among many different industries, sectors and use-cases.

Beyond just evaluation and constructive criticism of news stories, we want to reach out to help journalists.
We know they often struggle with reporting on the costs of treatments, tests, products and procedures. It's reflected in the facts: after 5 years and nearly 1,500 stories reviewed, we don't like to report that more than 70 percent of stories fail to adequately address the costs of the stuff they're covering.
So we talked with journalists and others to assemble our first stab (and that's all it is – a first stab) at an online list of resources to help journalists explore the costs of health care products and approaches.
There are some links to websites, names, email addresses and phone numbers.
This is just one of many primers and resources offered on our site. Here's a screen shot of the listing of primers available in the Toolkit.
We also point journalists to "Covering Medical Research: A Guide for Reporting on Studies," a guide I wrote for members of the Association of Health Care Journalists.
We were pleased to see that the National Association of Science Writers also pointed its members to our Journalist Toolkit in a web posting this week.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.

Gone with the Wind Are Three Husbands and 16 Lovers, but Ex-Actress Evelyn Keyes Endures
"She made more men than movies," one reviewer commented, but he exaggerates. While Keyes appeared in 44 films, her steamy book mentions only 20 affairs (four of which wound up at the altar). But who's counting?
Keyes' best-remembered film is, of course, GWTW. In preparation, the Atlanta native labored for weeks to regain the Southern accent that Hollywood producers had demanded she lose. She had other starring roles in Here Comes Mr. Jordan and The Jolson Story, but there were more clinkers than hits. "I'm the first to admit," says Keyes, "that I never achieved my potential as an actress."
The reason apparently is that some of the most charismatic men of her era got in the way. With the exception of her first husband, Barton Bainbridge, who was in the construction business, Keyes' lineup of lovers reads like The Celebrity Register.
As a wide-eyed, 17-year-old dancer from Georgia, she got her first job with Cecil B. DeMille. He hired her, Keyes says, because she didn't wear bright-red nail polish. Her first husband shot himself while she was having an affair with Hungarian director Charles Vidor. Vidor became husband No. 2, but the marriage lasted only one year.
Actor-director John Huston, who never really stopped living the life of a bachelor, was No. 3. He had a habit of bringing Evelyn unusual surprises, like the 13-year-old Mexican orphan he picked up while filming Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The boy was sent to boarding school. Evelyn remained Mrs. Huston for three and a half years.
Along the way were affairs with David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Kirk Douglas and Mike Todd. Since 1957 her fourth husband has been bandleader Artie Shaw, whose seven previous wives included Lana Turner and Ava Gardner. Keyes and Shaw have been separated for nearly a decade. "We'll get divorced only if Artie finds someone else to marry," she says. "I certainly don't intend to marry again. I'm grown up now."
After a two-year tour with No, No, Nanette, Keyes settled down to the quiet, dedicated existence of a lady of letters. Having sold the Connecticut house where she once lived with Shaw, she may settle permanently on the West Coast again. But these days Evelyn lives out of a suitcase and spends her usual four hours a day working on a suspense novel that is being hustled by superagent Irving Lazar.
Writing agrees with her. "It's heaven—the best part of my life," she beams. Does Scarlett's 58-year-old younger sister ever get lonely? "I'm not looking for any man. I have discovered myself."

A '50s Look With a Modern Twist
Fashion reporter Teri Agins answers readers' questions
Q: I love the 1950s style of Dita von Teese, the petite burlesque dancer. She seems to be helping to popularize fifties styles like platform wedge sandals and high heels with anklet socks. I am ready to wear socks with heels, but I am worried about being too kitschy.
—L.E., Chicago
A: I fondly remember the mid-'70s, when fashions from the 1940s and 1950s made a lively comeback: printed rayon dresses, square-shouldered Eisenhower jackets, anklet socks with pumps and, of course, red nails and lips. Those who wore it well were pop singers Bette Midler and the Pointer Sisters, whose retro stage wardrobes and wavy coiffures made the boldest of statements.
Vintage styles elicit nostalgic comparisons. You want people to admire you for being an expressive dresser and not a 1950s cartoon, so don't take the look too literally. Also, anklets visually cut your legs in two, so short socks will look better if you have lean calves.
This spring, go ahead and experiment with different proportions, such as chili-red or acid-green Capri pants with a contrasting cropped sweater, anklets and platform pumps. Or try a knee-grazing, flared print dress with either black patent Mary Jane pumps or platform wedge sandals—with or without anklets. Retro trimmings, such as a structured top-handle handbag, cat-eye sunglasses and perhaps sparkly hair barrettes, add panache.
Today's anklets—in white, cream, black or even charcoal, sometimes infused with metallic threads—look modern when worn slightly scrunched down, about three fingers up from your ankles.

Setup: I have a linked server setup on SQL Server 2005 which is pointing to an Oracle DB. The linked server has RPC enabled.
Problem: When a query throws an exception on the remote server (Oracle DB) the SQL Server instance crashes. The logs say that the crash was due to some problem with the RPC call. Is there a way in which I can prevent the entire server to collapse but also use RPC over my linked server.
EDIT: Event Log
SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).

When I first came to work at The Columbian, I encountered something I'd never seen before. People with disabilities were working in critical roles, helping us get the paper out every day. It's one of the things I liked about this place right away, not out of altruism but because I realized that I could one day have a disability myself.
Three in 10 Americans will become disabled over their lifetimes. We're more likely to become disabled than to die before we reach retirement age.
Vancouver resident Connie Brittain, who has been in a wheelchair since a spinal cord injury 30 years ago, jokingly calls people like me "temporarily able-bodied."
Given the odds, we should all be concerned about the challenges disabled people face when they hunt for jobs. Yet more than two-thirds of disabled people are unemployed, and the jobless rate is likely even higher for people who are blind or deaf.
Dan Tolva, a legally blind copy editor who worked at The Columbian for many years, points out that there are jobs that disabled people cannot do.
"Blind people aren't going to be fry cooks," he said. "They aren't going to deliver pizza — or if they do, you don't know where it's going to wind up."
But software now makes it possible for blind people to do most text-heavy office jobs. If I were deaf, I'd need a relay service to help with phone calls, but otherwise I would still be able to do my job. People in wheelchairs may need ramps to get over the front step, but once they pass that hurdle there's a lot that they can contribute.
Yes, software, relay services and wheelchair ramps cost money. But the Americans with Disabilities Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability that can reasonably be accommodated. In some cases, businesses may even be able to get financial help to make accommodations.
That's small comfort for Michael Logan, who graduated with an associate's degree in business from Clark College in June. Even though the county's unemployment rate is nearly 14 percent, he's managed to land interview after interview.
His résumé gets him in the door, but then he hears the surprise in interviewers' voices when they realize Logan is blind.
"When I was interviewing for one job, the interviewer asked, 'If someone is on the phone, how can you save their contact info? How can you call them back the next day?'" Logan said. "I explained to him that there is software that I use to do that, but he did not believe me."
Most of these interviewers probably mean well. They just don't understand how far technology has come. And because it's incredibly difficult to prove why one person got a job and another did not, it's unlikely that businesses that refuse to consider a disabled applicant will ever be held accountable.
This is bad news for people with physical challenges. It's also bad news for people who are not disabled — but who will be someday.
And it's bad news for business. Companies that thrive need to be willing to hire the best and brightest. When employers get hung up on traits not related to the jobs they're hiring for, they risk overlooking talented people who can contribute to the bottom line.
