Parker Orms was among the non-believers until he spent time around Wright, whose questionable tweets prompted expulsion from his high school (Don Bosco in New Jersey) and created a national firestorm late in the 2012 recruiting cycle.
But once Wright was around Orms, a junior defensive back, and the rest of his Buffs teammates, guess what? Embree was judged to be a pretty fair judge of character. Said Orms of Wright, "He came in and was quiet, really didn't say much . . . it was so different from what you hear with the whole Twitter thing, you know? I was expecting something way different."
As for Wright, he frankly didn't know what to expect or how he would be received in Boulder. The common perception of him probably was closer to Orms' than Embree's, and he came in aware that all he could do to change it was be the person/player that Embree believed he had signed in February.
Wright is thankful more than you can imagine for Embree's trust. He contends he's relegated his past to the past. "Talking to the coaches, talking to everybody here, that definitely made me feel a lot more comfortable," he told me Wednesday after lunch in the Dal Ward Athletic Center. "I feel like they trust me not to do something like that again."
The bigger question is, does he trust himself?
"Yeah, I trust myself. I learned my lesson . . . remembering how I felt then, I know it's something I'll never do again."
Embree heard that, too, and he has taken Wright at his word since other schools backed off of the highly recruited corner late last winter. Orms also says he has no reason to doubt Wright's sincerity when Wright says, "When I go back and look at it, I question why I said some of those things. It was something that's definitely not me."
"I kind of see that in myself, too," said Orms, "because I know when I get on Twitter my personality kind of comes out a little bit differently than people are used to. You've got to keep a handle on it, especially at this level. But he came in and was totally different from what you might expect.
"I've put some things on Twitter or Facebook or whatever, and it's just like an in-the-moment thing. Then my dad or my grandma or someone will be like, 'so what were you trying to say there? You'd better take that down.' Then I think about it and take it down . . . whatever they think is right, I do."
Unfortunately, Wright didn't have that kind of monitoring in place, but Embree has addressed that for all of his players. He has established a first line of defense in the social networking world, appointing Recruiting and Operations Assistant Scott Unrein to monitor the team's social media activity.
Embree introduced Unrein to the Buffs at Sunday night's first team meeting of camp, telling his players their tweeting and Facebook activity will be accountable to Unrein and ultimately to their head coach. Embree also detailed for the Buffs what were acceptable topics and language, as well as subjects pertaining to the team. Bold-faced in his players' handbook is this directive: 7. Don't twitter or Facebook any information about teammates or program.
Don't think Embree's 2012 social media guidelines are the "Wright Rules." All were in place last season, with Unrein's appointment as a monitor being the only significant change in how Embree is dealing with social networking.
So far, said Unrein, all players have been in compliance: "It's not been an issue at all."
Here's what Embree told me about social networking last winter before signing day, after the Wright tweeting story had exploded and prior to conducting a team meeting on being smart with tweets: "I don't want to ban it; it's part of their lives. But there have to be guidelines, an understanding of what's right and wrong. Some kids we get, we have to raise them - and that's just a part of it. Maybe in their world (objectionable tweets) that's normal. But there's a different definition of normal; we have to dialogue and manage it."
Wright would like to push his recent past far enough into the background that it's never mentioned again. He's mature enough (now) to know that's not happening until he proves himself on the field and writes Chapter One at CU. He believes he can do it.
"Definitely . . . I think there's a chance that I could be playing really early," Wright said. "My mindset was to come in here and take a starting job . . . it takes some time to learn the defense, but some of the stuff I already knew from studying during the summer and from 7-ons. They definitely helped; I got to see and actually be active on the field while learning things.
"I definitely feel like I'm competitive now, but some of the things I want to work on are learning the defense better - that's basically it. I feel like once I learn the defense that it'll show I'm getting better; the physical things I think I can do now. And I think (learning the defense) will make me more competitive. The more you know, the better you are."
At 6-2, 175, Wright conceded, "I might look a little skinny and small," but added, "I'm like a tall cornerback." He's not targeting a huge weight gain, eyeing a top weight of 180-185 pounds. He said he's able to "run with everybody so far," and has been playing both corners.
"I think he's going to be a good player for us this year," Orms said. "He's got the ability, he's fast, he's smart and he seems like he can make plays . . . I'm really impressed with how well he knows the game of football."
But, added Orms, freshmen make mistakes and Wright is, after all, a freshman. This isn't high school; responsibilities go beyond what athleticism and superior ability can mask. Said Orms: "He's used to 'cover three' where you can line up and do kind of whatever you want. But when the ball's snapped here, you've got to know where you're at and what you're supposed to do. You've got a responsibility and you've got to know it . . . it's just a lot different."
Orms has known Wright for all of 2 1/2 months and watched him warm up - albeit gradually - to his new teammates. Orms also knows something about personal growth and moving past mistakes; he served a four-game suspension early last season for violating team rules and can relate to Wright's wrong.
"He's just like any other college football player," Orms said. "I think he's better now than he was before. I think he's grown even since he's been up here, for sure. I think if he gets on the field this year, (his baggage) will all go away. If he doesn't get in any trouble, stays off the social media-type things, he'll be fine."
Wright has no plans to be overly social with his phone. In fact, as for overusing Twitter, he claimed, "I get scared even going on. I don't pay that much attention to it anymore. I pretty much know how to handle the situation now. When I did what I did, there were people calling me, asking so many questions . . . I think I know how to deal with it now. I'm like past it now."
The Buffs believe him.
BUFF BITS: Embree answered the daily question about quarterbacks after practice, saying "each guy has had maybe 15 plays with the first team, so it's way too early." … when asked if it's a disadvantage for Jordan Webb to learn a new system, Embree replied "I'll ask you this question, 'How big of a disadvantage is it for those other guys having never played?' It evens out, terminology may be different, but he's done a great job managing it, he has game experience, so he's calm, he doesn't panic." … To the other long time topic, Paul Richardson, Embree stated that "he's doing a lot of stuff on the side, but nothing with the team. He's catching passes, watching practice and taking mental reps. He's still ahead of the curve, we'll have to see how he continues to progress, see if he can keep at this pace." Embree noted the quick returns of Jerry Rice and Rod Woodson from similar injuries but was quick to note that Rice caught a touchdown but Steve Atwater dinged him up again quickly in his first game back.

Reviews for Prime Rib with Horseradish Sauce
"Very good prime rib. My family would have preferred the horseradish sauce without the Worcestershire."
"had this for Easter & was great. A little expensive but worth it."
"Outstanding! You can't go wrong with this recipe. One of our favorites."
"This is a very good recipe- BUT- your meat internal cooking temps are way off! You should start at 125 degrees for med rare. Also when you cook any expensive cut of meat you should let it get close to room temp before cooking. That way it will cook more even. When you remove the meat from the oven, tent it with some foil & let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes. In that period of time your roast will still continue to cook. And the meat internal temp will go up about another 8 degrees.Gutpyle'Brookfield , WI"
"Even tho I didn't make this using this recipe, I do the same thing with wonderful results. Noting some of the variances some other have mentioned. I just wanted to add another way of making the horseradish sauce that came from my B.C. cookbook from the early 60's. I use 1/2 cup whipping cream, beaten until thick, add 1/2 tsp salt-and then 3 Tbsp well drained horseradish. This makes aout 1 cup. We like this even better than with the sour cream."

Try something different for your Halloween costume. Men's skin suits are stretch fabric jumpsuits that cover your entire body, from head to toe. Even your face is covered by the suit. You can breathe through them, of course, as well as see. You can even drink through the suit. They zip up and can be worn with the head covering tucked in. In some cases the headpiece is a separate item.
The basic skin suit is a solid color. These are great as a generic outfit or to wear underneath another costume. You'd be able to hide your face and features, which could make a scary costume even creepier. Some of the suits can be worn for other purposes too. The black one is good for stage hands who need to move around stage unseen. The green one is perfect for disappearing in front of a green screen.
Some skin suits have a character printed on them. These are a fun twist on a standard costume. They are often costumes for which a skin suit makes sense, like a superhero or ninja. They may even come with some accessories, like a cape or belt. Other styles that are perfect as skin suits are skeletons and muscles—bodies without skin!
One of the most common and fun uses for skin suits is wearing them to show support for your favorite team. When you go to a game wear a suit in your university colors, with their logo on the front. There are also baseball suits that look like team uniforms. If you're their biggest fan you now have a way to show it that doesn't involve taking off your shirt and painting your chest.

UPDATE July 26
BARCELONA, Spain— Arizona State diving alum Constantin Blaha capped a successful campaign at the 2013 FINA World Championships with a ninth-place finish on the men's 3-meter springboard. Blaha had previously finished fifth in the 1-meter competition on Monday.
The three-time Pac-12 Champion qualified for the finals on each of the springboard events, which initial feature 40-plus of the world's best divers. The FINA World Championships are the pinacle of international competition, swimming and diving, in non-Olympic years.
Of the 46 divers on the start list for the 3-meter, three held allegience to Arizona State with Blaha competing for Austria, senior Riley McCormick representing Canada and alum Mickey Benedetti representing Italy. McCormick, who qualified for the Olympic Finals on the platform, finished 21st in the quarterfinals and narrowly missed moving on. Benedetti took 28th.
Arizona State diving alum Constantin Blaha took fifth place in men's 1-meter springboard for his home country of Austria at the 2013 FINA Diving World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Essentially finishing fifth-best in the world, Blaha competed in his first-ever World Championships finals, Monday, finishing with a total of 411.75.
"Fifth place is sensational for a small country like Austria," said Blaha, a five-time All-American at Arizona State. "The first three dives were the best I've ever had."
At ASU, Blaha was a three-time Pac-12 Champion on the 3-meter springboard and finished fourth in the nation on the 1-meter at the 2012 NCAA Championships.
Blaha had finished in 10th place in the prelims on Saturday to qualify for the 1-meter finals. Fellow Sun Devil Harrison Jones also competed on the 1-meter for Team USA, finishing in 15th place and just three spots shy of qualify for the finals.
On Thursday, Blaha and teammate Riley McCormick will compete on the 3-meter springboard prelims for a chance to advance to the finals on Friday. McCormick competed for Canada in the 2012 London and 2008 Beijing Olympics, advancing to the Olympic finals on the 10m platform in 2012.
Jones will next compete for the United States on the 10m platform with prelims on Saturday and finals on Sunday.
Arizona State diving head coach Mark Bradshaw is also on hand in Barcelona as a member of the Team USA coaching staff.

Regis Philbin announced his retirement from television and the world (OK, maybe just Kelly Ripa) was shocked.
In all seriousness, Regis Philbin, the co-host of "Live with Regis and Kelly" has dedicated more years in television than some of us has been alive. In 2006, Regis Philbin was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame for his impressive 40 plus year run and more than 15,700 hours on the tube.
His show (seen locally on WESH-Ch. 2 daily at 9 a.m.) starts its 20th season in syndication on Sept. 4.
But Regis Philbin isn't just the king of television. He's also the nation's biggest Notre Dame fan.
Regis Philbin posed for our special football section preview in 2007 for his die-hard love of his alma mater's football team Notre Dame. More impressive conducted a Q&A with the Orlando Sentinel despite the fact that he doesn't own a computer.
"My father met Moose Krause during WWII in the Marine Corps and at night Krause would regale the other marine officers with stories about Rockne, Gipp and the Four Horsemen, etc., and my father was very impressed," Philbin said in an e-mail when asked why he attended the school," Regis Philbin told the Sentinel.
Check out our Q&A with Regis.

ZF-2953: Zend_Db_Table_Abstract->insert returns empty value
The "insert" method from "Zend_Db_Table_Abstract" (extended for MySql) doesn't return the value of the "most recent ID" when it receives an empty value ('') for this primary key. The register is properly inserted in the db.
It checks if the value is null:
* If the primary key can be generated automatically, and no value was
* specified in the user-supplied data, then omit it from the tuple.
if (array_key_exists($pkIdentity, $data) && $data[$pkIdentity] === null) {
Maybe, it should check if the value is "empty".
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Fix Version Priority: Must Have ?
No action on this issue for too long. I'm reassigning to Ralph for re-evaluation and categorization.
Are you saying that
if (array_key_exists($pkIdentity, $data) && $data[$pkIdentity] === null) {
should become:
if (array_key_exists($pkIdentity, $data) && $data[$pkIdentity] == null) {
if (array_key_exists($pkIdentity, $data) && $data[$pkIdentity] == '') {
Maybe, you could use the "empty" function...
I confirm this bug, still alive in ZF 1.7.4, also confirm that the "empty instead of null" check works for me. It's frustrating to see such a simple issue being carried over between releases for so long.
Fix version bumped up to 1.7.5. ZF 1.7.5 is released. The bug is still there.
Fix version bumped up to 1.7.6. ZF 1.7.6 is released. The bug is still there.
I don't wanna be a whiner, but am I missing something here? It's such an easy fix (just one line of code!) and it's so annoying to have to fix it over and over with each ZF release. Why is it getting so little attention?
I didn't take the time for a deeper check, but I believe these two issues are related, if not the same.
Maybe, I'll become a contributor to solve this "line of code"...
Actually using the function empty would cause unpredicted results. The value of '0' is valid in the auto-incrementing sequence therefore this would not be an adequate fix. Although the correct fix would be to utilize strlen. Will work on writing the patch and the test case for this in the next day or so.
Attached patch and test case for the issue.
Almost 3 years later, the issue is still open... solve it or close it, please! It's only one line of code!!!
Plus, everytime a new release is out we have to patch it to fix this issue. Annoying to say the least!
I've added a fix for this issue in r23621 in trunk.
Please test your applications against this. The fix does not use empty() or any other type in-specific routines to determine if a PK was included. Instead, it uses a smaller subset of valid primary key value types. For example, '0' and 0 are valid primary keys that would not pass an empty() test.
If this works for everyone, I will merge to 1.11.
Resolved in trunk at r23621 and in branch 1.11 at 23657

Hello, your local neighborhood scambuster is at it again. Being a computer guy I usually can spot a scam on the internet pretty easily. That being said, I too get fooled from time to time. It's usually when I'm not paying attention and just clicking through stuff. The less trained eye is susceptible to these sort of scams and understandably so. So here are a few that almost caught me recently.
Update your movie player:
This scam tries to emulate a Adobe Flash Player upgrade. It looks a lot like the real deal. Don't install anything that looks like this. This is what the real update looks like:
Facebook Red:
This is a scam promising you to turn your Facebook from blue to red. It's a scam. If one of your friends posts it on your timeline, ignore it. They fell for the scam. If you're feeling like a good Samaritan you might want to let them know that it's a scam. Here is what it looks like:
It may or may not look exactly like this. Just know that unless Mark Zuckerberg comes out and says he's letting people change the color of Facebook, that it's probably a scam. This also goes for anything that tells you to press a letter or click on such and such and watch what happens.

Increased global awareness about the quality of drinking water has propelled expansion in the residential water treatment equipment market, according to a study by Palo Alto, Calif.-based Frost & Sullivan. According to the report, every fourth house across the globe has a residential water treatment unit, and it is estimated that every second household will have a unit by 2008, and every household will have one by 2011.
Officials in southern San Luis Obispo County, Calif., are looking at desalination plants to ensure a steady water supply into the future. The cities of Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach and the Oceano Community Services District weighed two options: participating in the Nacimiento Water Pipeline project or constructing a desalination plant. Research found desalination with reverse osmosis would be half the cost of extending the pipeline to the southern part of the county and maintaining it. Based on a 30-year life cycle, the estimated capital cost for a desalination facility would be about $14 million, and it would cost $2400 per acre-foot a year to produce water.
The Solid Waste Association of North America's Applied Research Foundation will conduct a study that will provide performance and economic data on residential waste collection services in the United States and Canada. The study, titled "The North American Benchmarking Study for Residential Solid Waste Collection," will help develop performance standards for waste services and evaluate waste technologies, according to a press release. Forty-eight local jurisdictions currently are offering data and financial support, while other local governments and organizations can act as project sponsors.

The EPA's Office of Water has published a guide to watershed management as a tool in developing and implementing watershed plans. The draft of Handbook for Developing Watershed Plans to Restore and Protect Our Waters is aimed toward communities, watershed groups, and local, state, tribal, and federal environmental agencies. The 414-page handbook goes through each step of the watershed planning process, including monitoring and assessment, community outreach, selection and application of available models, best management practices, effectiveness databases, implementation, feedback, and plan adjustment. The EPA also is soliciting comments on the draft, due no later than June 30. For more information or to obtain a copy, visit www.epa.gov.

After being divorced for about two years, I had to admit I was lonely. Loneliness is a funny thing and
tricky as well. You start to believe it is not so bad, and after coming out of a lonely marriage, it's better to sleep alone than to lie next to someone and feel the same way. But I think after a while, you miss all the wonderfulness of love and your longing for companionship rears its ugly head.
So strange signs began to appear; signs that led me to try online dating. The first sign was my neighbor telling me that her ex-husband was married again and had met his wife online. Then after a while, I was visiting with a dear friend, and she mentioned a mutual friend of ours was away for the weekend with a man she is crazy about. She met him online. But the final sign was when I decided to get away for a weekend and headed out to Lancaster to spend time with my friend Shelly. In her dismay with my non-existent dating life after two years, she literally signed me up for an online dating site insisting I "get out there" and test the waters. And so it began…
At first it was very exciting! Oh the thought of my prospects seemed so bright. My 22-year-old daughter helped me pick out my profile pictures and with her assistance, I wrote and edited what I thought was a well rounded "picture" of who I was and why someone would want to "get to know me better." So my day started off with my daughter and I making a pot of coffee and looking at the matches that were "perfect" for me. Connections were sent to me and waiting for a mutual response seemed endless. It was disappointing when your "match" did not feel the same.
Suddenly, I felt as though I was in high school again and a bit insecure. Except that now I was 47 years old and being rejected by men online that were maybe a bit too good looking for me! It was ridiculous. Under normal conditions, I was very confident and comfortable in my own skin and now I actually felt rejected from "John, in Ossining New York" who was looking for "the love of his life." Oh, but here is where it got really interesting… After two weeks of this search, my daughter and I finally decided I should have the opportunity to look and choose my "matches," and so we took a gander at my choices. Mind you, I could not communicate with these selections unless I paid another fee, but we looked nonetheless. Page after page, I was not a match for endless reasons. I was too old, not active enough, did not want to raise three- and five-year-old children, did not sail, rock climb or enjoy running the Boston marathon. And just when I was about to stop looking, my daughter said, "Come on mom, the right guy may be on the next page!" I said, "O.K., but only one more page!" And there he was. I couldn't believe it. The man I once loved but was all wrong for me — my ex-husband.
We read his profile and looked at his pictures, and all I could think to myself was how misleading. I couldn't stop staring at his picture. I read how he viewed himself and began to think about I used to love this man, how I have looked into his soul, and how we raised two children together. I also thought about how a computer determined we were a "match," and if I were to choose him, it might take me 23 years to leave him again if I had learned nothing from the first time. The truth is we were a "mismatch."
I am pretty sure at that moment I decided this was not the way for me to find love or to cure a heart that felt lonely from time to time. I would have chosen a man based on qualifications instead of the warmth of his smile at a glance in the supermarket or while standing on line at the movies turning to see whose soft voice was speaking behind me and our eyes would meet…the little things that connect us by chance.

Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb SSD hybrid installed0
Demonstration of my computer shut down and boot up with Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb hybrid SSD drive installed. Computer is an HP Pavilion dv5 laptop, 4Gb RAM, with 2.53GHz Intel duo core CPU. It came with a 250Gb Hitachi Travelstar hard drive (5400rpm). I bought it in 12/2008 and it was fine for a few years, but cold start up times were starting to approach around 5 minutes. I cleared out bloatware and unused programs, defragged the hard drive, and ran a few utilities to try improving performance (Vistax64.com was a big help). While I did experience some gains, I wanted to improve it much more. The dv5 can take 8Gb of RAM, but I heard that wouldn't show much of an improvement unless I compile programs or do a lot of multitasking. By far the biggest improvement you can introduce to an old laptop is a faster hard drive. SSD's (Solid State Drives) will make your computer fly compared to how it worked before. They are expensive, though. At 0 for a highly praised 256Gb SSD (Nov 2012), this is about 0 more than a conventional 250Gb hard drive. But there's a very cost effective alternative, that being SSD+HD (SSD hybrid). I took this video after I installed the Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb, and I'm thrilled with the performance improvements. Going from around a 5 minute cold boot to just over 1 minute is phenomenal. I should have mentioned that the hard disk inside the Momentus XT 500Gb spins at 7200rpm, so there's an inherent speed benefit over a 5400rpm HD. However, a faster …

Wisdom Literature class presents "Proverbs: A Compass for Daily Living"
The book of Proverbs takes the stage in a production titled "Proverbs: A Compass for Daily Living," on Wednesday, April 17, in Cornerstone in the Sterling College Student Union, at 7 p.m. The theatrical production, written by Dr. Henry Lederle, professor of theology and ministry, is produced by the students enrolled in the Wisdom Literature class and directed by junior Phil Taylor of Norco, Calif. The free half-hour production is a family-friendly show and is open to the public.
The dramatic presentation is based on the biblical text of Proverbs and portrays various characters from the book and the topics with which they wrestle. The themes will be presented through employing various elements of humor, mime, speech, choir, role play and on-screen visuals.
The Wisdom Literature class decided to produce this show after realizing the difficulties of comprehending the variety of topics addressed in the book. The show journeys through Proverbs, but is rearranged thematically. The reorganized structure of the production aims to make the concepts of the book easier to understand for the audience.
The wisdom found in Proverbs is perennial," said Lederle. "Honoring God resounds through the 31 chapters, so I hope that the audience will be inspired and encouraged to read from the book of Proverbs more often and will thereby grow in their relationship with the Lord and act in life with greater discernment and wisdom."
Students participating include Jacob Blackwell of Salina, Kan., Courtney Brand of Evans, Colo., Ryan Bretches of Great Bend, Kan., Grant Brintnall of Bettendorf, Iowa, Alexandria Broeker of Washington, Mo., Dixie Carpenter of McCall, Idaho, Robby Hernandez of Stillwell, Okla., Mason Houghton of Olathe, Kan., Micah Mitchell of Westminister, Colo., Michaela Moore of Wichita, Kan., Blaine Pittman of Carlsbad, Calif., Joey Ramirez of Julesburg, Colo., Tate Strasner of Mount Hope, Kan., and Tyson Thrall of Granada, Colo.

Studies have shown ginger to be effective in relieving nausea and morning sickness.
Midwife Emily Streich takes you beyond the gingersnap by sharing some different ways to add ginger into your diet.
• Add fresh grated ginger to meals. (It's especially tasty in stir-fries!)
• Simmer fresh ginger in water for 10 to 20 minutes to make a tasty tea.
• Use powdered ginger in baking or cooking.
• Consider taking ginger capsules (with your doctor's approval).

Baltimore County News
Michael Schneider
Baltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks
Oh, what a summer it's been so far. It's been sunny, hot, rainy, sticky…did I mention that it's been HOT? Nonetheless, this summer has been FUN!
Throughout our beautiful County, you can see the smiles and hear the laughter coming from our recreation centers, PAL centers and parks.
From daycare to down-on-the-beach and through the woods, our kids have been involved in well-supervised programs that keep them busy with new friendships, activities and adventures that are great summer experiences for youngsters.
From Dundalk to Baltimore Highlands and everywhere in between, our summer playgrounds and camps are bustling with activities like sports, games, crafts, nature experiences and field trips. For instance, Camp Red Fox is enjoying weekly trips to beautiful Cascade Lake, and a huge cookout for our PAL centers held by Rocky Point Beach was a major highlight for some incredible kids, making the hottest of days "way cool" with games, picnicking and the delightful waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
Our parks and facilities offer everything from adult sports leagues, ice skating and hockey to hiking, kayaking, beach picnics and swimming.
This has been a great summer for Baltimore County Recreation and Parks so far, but don't miss out on the rest! Call your recreation center for a preview of what's happening during the rest of summer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jenn76 Exactly what I was looking for in curtains I almost gave up on these curtains restocking, but I'm glad I waited. These curtains are exactly what I was looking for to hang in my dining room. Love the colors, the material is good quality for the price, love there is some texture and the multi-colors. They keep a lot of light out, but are bright with light shining through the gold colors - mine hang along sliding glass doors. The heavier material seems good for use along such doors. When I opened the package, I was honestly a little worried I wouldn't like them. But once they were hanging... perfect for what I wanted. Lots of compliments from friends, too. September 18, 2012

Born on January 8, 1947, David Bowie is rock's foremost futurist and a genre-bending pioneer, chameleon and transformer. Throughout his solo career and in his alliances with other artists - including Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno and Nine Inch Nails - Bowie has positioned himself on the cutting edge of rock and roll. His innovations have created or furthered several major trends in rock and roll, including glam rock, art-rock and the very notion of the self-mythologized, larger-than-life rock star. "More than any other performer in the rock and roll era, David Bowie elevated himself to the role of artist," says Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curator Howard Kramer. "He revolutionized and redefined the role of the frontman."
On the strength of such early albums as Man of Words, Man of Music and The Man Who Sold the World, Bowie became a cult figure to rock fans looking for something new and challenging to fill the post-Sixties void. A driven, polymorphic artist who breaks all the molds, Bowie attracted attention from the beginning for his frequent, fascinating changes of guise and the high quality of his unpredictable music. "I'm the last one to understand the material I write," Bowie once noted.
Bowie's breakthrough came with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), a thoroughly modern album that promulgated the notion of rock star as space alien. Bowie melded rock with theater, creating the provocative character and alter ego "Ziggy Stardust."
"The character was a perfect blend or gender ambiguity, urban angst and rock and roll fantasy," says Kramer. "Bowie took to the stage in clothing that was futuristic, and a stage show that was focused and fantastic. Unlike Pete Townshend who created characters like Tommy and Jimmy in Quadrophenia to make thematic works, David Bowie became the character in his songs in a truly physical sense."
Boasting sharp, propulsive music from the Spiders from Mars – which included the late guitarist Mick Ronson –The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and its followup, Aladdin Sane, heralded a paradigm shift in the early Seventies. Bowie also displayed his affection for the mod "London underground" of the mid-to-late Sixties with Pin-Ups, an album of cover songs by the Pretty Things, Pink Floyd, Them and other hitmakers of the day.
During the Seventies, Bowie pioneered and embodied the notion of rock style. For much of the decade, he projected a calculating aloofness, and many wondered where the characters ended and the "real Bowie" began. "Bowie's conceit is to treat human feeling as technology and technology as feeling," wrote music critic Tom Carson. Bowie closed the Seventies with three largely experimental, atmospheric albums on which Bowie reinvented himself yet again. With Low, Heroes and Lodger, Bowie peeled away his masks while creating music that anticipated the ambient and industrial soundscapes of the coming decades.
In 1980, Bowie released Scary Monsters, which summed up and closed the door on the previous decade. The album even cast a final nod to Bowie's "Major Tom" character from "Space Oddity" with the sequel "Ashes to Ashes." Bowie's commercial masterstroke came in 1983 with Let's Dance, an accessible set of modern-minded dance music that gave Bowie his second Number One hit with the brassy, swaggering title track, as well as "China Girl" (Number 10) and "Modern Love" (Number 14). That same year, the D.A. Pennebaker-produced film documentary of Bowie's final tour from the Ziggy days, entitled Ziggy Stardust/The Motion Picture, was released.
Bowie musically commemorated his 1992 marriage to Somalian model Iman with "The Wedding" from 1993's Black Tie White Noise. Subsequently, Bowie embarked on a startlingly ambitious and uncompromising series of albums, including the unsettling Outside (1995), which Bowie described as a"non-linear Gothic Drama Hyper-cycle" based on characters from one of his short stories; and Earthling (1997), an album that showed the influence of the underground dance-music scene on Bowie (and vice versa).
Bowie joined forces with longtime co-producer Tony Visconti, who worked on many of Bowie's best albums of the 70s, for 2002's Heathen, creating a layered, nuanced sound that looked to the Thin White Duke's storied recordings of the past and his later inclinations – including covers of the Pixies' "Cactus" and Neil Young's "I've Been Waiting For You." Visconti and Bowie teamed up again on 2003's Reality.

It's a sunny, cold morning in Manhattan, too early for most people to be up. But in the New York showroom of the costume jewelry retailer Stella & Dot, a posse of chic employees are already caffeinated and hard at work. They are shoulder to shoulder around a long conference table, looking at bling—bib necklaces, bangle bracelets, cocktail rings, a rhinestone brooch fanned in feathers. Busy grouping pieces into families is a raven-haired woman dressed like a high-fashion biker, right down to her black ankle boots: Jessica Herrin, 39, Stella & Dot's CEO and founder. She lines up a row of necklaces, pulling out a golden rope chain that has a dangling trio of hearts. She puts it around her neck and hoists the chain until the pendants lie against her sternum. "We need midlength," she says decisively to her team. "It's a style that works for everyone, everywhere. Dresses up or down. It's fun or functional."
Herrin's close attention to her products and to the reasons women buy them has turned the business into a huge success. Since relaunching in 2007, Stella & Dot (stelladot.com) has paid out more than $100 million in commissions to its 20,000 sales reps. Remarkably, it is the second phenomenal business Herrin has launched. In 1996, as a 24-year-old student at Stanford Business School, she cofounded one of the first online gift registries for brides, Della & James. Within months, the site expanded into a full-service bridal portal and merged with WeddingChannel.com. Herrin and a business partner appeared as guests on Oprah, where they were introduced as women who "followed their hearts and found their fortunes." But grateful as she was for her success as an entrepreneur, she also felt deeply ambivalent about the cost to her life. "For four years, I worked every night and weekend," she says. "I'd just married, and I never saw my husband. I wanted to start a family, but I couldn't see adding a baby to the picture."
Then Herrin's husband was offered his dream job, out of state. She left WeddingChannel.com and moved from Northern California to Austin, Texas, where she became a senior manager in e-commerce at Dell computers. "The job was challenging, but in a completely sane way," Herrin says. So sane that by the time she found out she was pregnant with her first child, Herrin was using some of her free nights and weekends to work on creating her ideal business—in her words, "a company that you own but that doesn't own you."
This time, instead of thinking about developing a business the usual ways —what will be my product? Who will be my customer?—Herrin focused on a target employee: a woman with kids who needs flexibility. At first, all Herrin had to go on was a memory of a Mary Kay cosmetics convention she'd once observed at a hotel. "It blew my mind," she says. "The women were over the moon with excitement and joy." She began researching home-based direct-sales businesses that sold makeup, vitamins, candles or kitchenware. "But none of them resonated with me," she says. In her view, the products weren't irresistible. Worst of all, they weren't very lucrative for the salespeople. (The Direct Sales Association reports that the median annual income for a home-based vendor is $2,400.)
Still, Herrin saw potential. Crafting was booming, and Herrin thought a business based on at-home jewelry-making parties seemed like a possibility. "Everyone wants beautiful things," she says. She turned a sunroom off her kitchen into a craft room, bought some beads, stones, chains, hooks and clasps and came up with the design for a DIY kit. While still working at Dell, Herrin named her fledging company Luxe Jewels and found a factory that would produce the kits.
Three months pregnant with daughter Charlie, Herrin held her first trunk show. She served her friends Merlot and artisanal cheeses and pocketed $450. By the time Charlie was crawling, Herrin had hosted 13 Luxe Jewels trunk shows, most at other women's homes, and earned $8,000 in profits. In 2004, Herrin resigned from Dell so that she could begin recruiting Luxe Jewels sales reps. In 2005 the company's revenue hit $550,000.
More than half a million dollars sounds like a lot. But when Herrin left WeddingChannel.com, its sales were upwards of $100 million. To get back into the really big leagues, Herrin did something she felt was key to her first business success: She found a mentor.
Early in her career, during Della & James's start-up phase, Herrin had sought investment from the venture capitalist Doug Mackenzie, then a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. "He told me, 'Nine out of 10 companies in their successful form look nothing like their original form when they began,' " says Herrin. "So achieving a good outcome is not about being right from the start. It's about being tenacious and committed to constant improvement."
Now Herrin wondered, How could she improve Luxe Jewels? She decided to cold-call Mike Lohner, former CEO of a direct-sales company, Home Interiors & Gifts, that during his tenure had deployed a force of 120,000 consultants and generated about a billion dollars in annual retail revenue. Herrin got Lohner's home phone number in Dallas through a friend and asked to meet with him. "She was on a plane the next day," Lohner says with a laugh. "She explained Luxe Jewels, then asked what I liked and what I didn't. I told her flat out that I didn't like the beading-party concept. There wasn't enough money in it—for her and her sales force."
Herrin's response: "Oh, great! We can change that." Lohner was impressed. "You could give her bad news, and it took her about 30 seconds to get over it and turn it into a positive."
Herrin knew she didn't have the design chops to create a whole jewelry line. So she signed up Maya Brenner, whose delicate, playful jewelry is a celebrity favorite. Then Herrin rebranded. Luxe Jewels was no longer just a direct-sales business; it was also a "social selling" company. Herrin's reps, called stylists, ask customers about their social lives (a training manual suggests asking, "What special events are coming up? Weddings? Parties?"), then offer to help them find the right jewelry for their outfits. Stylists learn to mix and match different looks. They make money through a tiered system in which they recruit other reps and earn their own sales commissions (25 to 30 percent of retail) as well as varying commissions on sales made by reps "down-line." Like most other direct sellers, Herrin requires her salespeople to buy a starter kit (currently $199, which includes $350 worth of jewelry), and they typically invest an additional $800 to buy more jewelry, business cards, display trays and a carrying case.
In 2006, Luxe Jewels hit $1 million in sales. But Herrin was far from satisfied. "I saw the company as something that could do more than make a million dollars," she says. "We offer people—women mostly—the opportunity to work when they want, as much as they want." That summer she spotted a chance to reach her goal when she met Blythe Harris, who had recently introduced Banana Republic's jewelry line. The two shared a vision of selling fashionable jewelry that had broad appeal, and Herrin decided to relaunch her company a second time. She offered Harris the title of chief creative officer and asked her to participate in renaming the enterprise. (Brenner, who already had her own successful high-end line of jewelry, would continue to design for the company.) Harris feels her sense of style and passion for beautiful things come from her grandmother Dot. Herrin traces her drive and tenacity to her grandmother Stella. Stella & Dot was born.
With Harris as lead designer, the company doubled its earnings within the year. Doctors, teachers, stay-at-home moms and even a pecan farmer bought start-up kits and became stylists. Tysh Mefferd, who owned a stationery company and now oversees 2,500 Stella & Dot stylists, consistently earns six figures. Others have far more modest earnings. In 2011 the average monthly revenue for a rep was $261; a typical "star stylist" (a seller supervising four active stylists) takes in $2,673. A senior director (who oversees four star stylists) makes, on average, $13,765 a month.
"Some stylists are really brand ambassadors. They like hosting an occasional trunk show and the opportunity to buy affordable jewelry," explains Herrin. "Other stylists work full time during the school year and take the summers off. The important thing is that they choose how much and when they work."
Today, Stella & Dot stylists operate in one third of U.S. zip codes and in the United Kingdom and Canada. This August, Stella & Dot launched in Germany, and it is expanding into accessories such as handbags. Herrin expects to reach $1 billion in sales by 2015. Last year she and her husband reportedly bought an 8,000-square-foot home in Hillsborough, California, for $6 million. Not that she spends much time there. "Obviously I'm wired to work 80 hours a week," she says. "I accept that now. I've learned to divide and conquer. If the parenting activity doesn't involve physically being with my kids [a second daughter was born in 2006], I don't do it. I do the school art project for Halloween because we can be side by side, but I don't volunteer to raise money. That way, there is actually plenty of time for me to be the entrepreneur I want to be as well as the mom and family member I want to be."
To finalize the new season's line, Herrin is in New York for exactly 48 hours. She moves and talks quickly, determining the size of the perfect clutch and the mix of materials that should go into manufacturing the company's charms. She reminds her team that the collection has to have something "for you, your mom, your daughter and even Aunt Rachel." For the briefest moment she revisits the issue of necklace length. "Every woman needs a necklace that comes here," Herrin says, touching the soft spot on her clavicle, "because, you know, that length can go anywhere."

Reviews for Buttermilk Pot Roast
"This was the first time I've cooked gravy using buttermilk. It did not disappoint. It was delicious."
"THE most moist roast I've ever made. Everyone loved it!"
"I made this in the oven bag with a 2 3/4 lb. chuck roast. Unfortunately, I forgot to adjust the time correctly and baking for 2 hours was too long and the meat was a little dry. But the veggies were nice and soft with nice flavor. Will definitely make this again. Would also like to try it in the crockpot."
"I cooked the roast and vegetables in a oven bag that was held in a 13 x 9 pan. This was the best roast I have ever made!! This recipe is a keeper!! I put a whole packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix in and only 1 medium onion chopped."
"Wonderful, melt in your mouth delicious."
