When it comes to wineries I generally know I'm in for something good when I drive down a long dirt road (unsure if I'm headed in the right direction) and finally come upon some vineyards and a couple of small aluminum barns with harvest bins stacked outside. For many small winery operations, the barrel storage, the lab, the office, and the tasting room are all under one corrugated roof.
I had the pleasure of winding my way down just such a road on a rainy Autumn day five years ago to arrive at the little operation that is Patton Valley Vineyard. I spent a thoroughly delightful hour with owner Monte Pitt and his wines, which I have followed carefully since.
Patton Valley Vineyard is the love child, if you'll forgive the term, of Pitts and Dave Chen. While in business school together in Chicago, the two became friends and bonded over their love for Pinot Noir. While most of what you learn in Business School proves that it's generally not a lucrative move to start a winery when you graduate, that didn't deter these two, who were determined to take their passion for wine and put it to work in a very real way.
After searching through California and the Northwest throughout , the two settled on Oregon's Willamette Valley as the site for their foray into the world of winegrowing and winemaking in 1994. After a year of looking around for vineyard sites, eventually the two found a 72 acre patch of orchard land on a round hunchback of a hill above the town of Gaston.
With the help of vineyard consultants, they ripped out the remaining old prune and cherry trees out of 40 acres and planted rye grass to revitalize the soil for a couple of years. Then they planted a variety of Pinot Noir clones at high density on the southeast exposure and got ready to make wine when the vines were ready.
Like a lot of small producers with land, Patton Valley sells some of its fruit to other wineries to help with cash flow, and produces a small amount of wine under their own label. In the case of Patton Valley, this ends up being only about 2500 cases per year.
Yields are kept extremely low (1.75 tons per acre), and all their fruit is hand harvested, double sorted, and scrutinized carefully before it ends up in the fermentation tank. The wine ferments in small lots with native yeasts only, before being pressed into barrels. Winemaker Murray uses a combination of new and old French oak barrels that are rotated over several years before being discarded. The single vineyard wines and top cuvees receive a higher percentage of new oak. All the wines are bottled without fining or filtration of any kind.
Quite interestingly, over the past few years the winery has been moving to screwcap closures on all of its wines, and as of the 2007 vintage it has phased out cork entirely, even on its most expensive, ageworthy Pinot Noirs.
Patton Valley doesn't technically qualify for garagiste status, since they've moved out of the garage into their little sheet metal outbuilding, but for all intents and purposes, this is that sort of operation, and wonderful to behold. Wines such as theirs are a pleasure to drink as much for the knowledge that they are the creations of just a few dedicated folks as much as for their flavors, when they are good. And the wines of Patton Valley Vineyard are good -- excellent, in fact. They are one of my benchmarks for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, and are definitely worth seeking out.
The estate just had a change in winemakers, and this release is the last made by outgoing winemaker Jerry Murray. Incoming winemaker Derek Einberger will be responsible for the 2010 vintage and onwards.
This particular wine is made in very small quantities and doesn't get far before folks snap it up, and for good reason. Made from some of the estate's younger Pinot Noir vines, it is one of the best rosé wines made in America, and I don't offer such praise lightly.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
Palest pink in color, this wine smells of watermelon and strawberries and wet rocks. In the mouth it has the tiniest bit of electric effervescence on the tongue, and tart flavors of rosehip, strawberry, and raspberry. Wonderfully composed and balanced, this wine is delicate and drinkable. Perfectly dry, juicy as hell, and incredibly tasty. Slurp! 12.5% alcohol.
Food Pairing:
This wine will match almost anything. Salads, veggies, fish, you name it. I'd love to drink it with some fresh grilled fish with lemon.
Overall Score: between 9 and 9.5
How Much?: $16

How do T.J. Maxx and Marshall's shoppers score designer deals on a budget? They are the same people, interested in the same chic, new trends, and they have the same shopping budgets as other thrifty shoppers. Yet, somehow, they break all the rules of thrifty fashion shopping and win.
Whenever we hear the names Marshall's or T.J. Maxx, we think of Maxxinistas finding designer apparel at a fraction of the retail price and shoppers making fabulous finds on shoes, handbags and jewelry. So, how do they do it?
Thrifty fashion shoppers remind themselves again and again never to shop on impulse. They practice walking by eye-catching displays and signs for extra-super-amazing sales. They often shop with a list, seeking only the item or items on the list. And they always manage to stay on-target, or even under budget for the month.
Shoppers at Marshall's and T.J. Maxx are actually more seekers than shoppers. They are the people who are willing to visit the store again and again, look through everything on the racks and counters, and keep a sharp eye pealed for deeply discounted or clearance apparel. They look for designer names and product quality, trusting their own sense of fashion and style.
Over and over again, these shoppers prove that they are doing something very right. They find Kate Spade handbags for 80% off and baroque pearls from the Gardenia runway collection for $25. They bring home Michael Kors jackets for $30 and Carmen Marc Valvo sweaters for $25. And, through it all, they radiate energy, determination and confidence. They are the few, the seekers, and the ones to score.
They leave home with no set agenda, no list, and no preconceived notions. They probably have not checked websites or newspaper advertisements. They simply go forth and conquer the world of thrifty fashion, staying within budget and, very often, sharing their finds on Facebook for a chance to win more than they spent.
If you've never shopped at T.J. Maxx or Marshall's, give it a try. Plan to spend some time looking, and keep an open mind about what you may or may not purchase. Thrifty fashion shoppers all recognize a real bargain when they see it, and smart shoppers make the most of it. You may be a world-class Maxxinista without even knowing it!
Watch the video to see what T.J. Maxx is doing right and how other department store can learn from them.
To see the complete selection of apparel and accessories, visit T.J. Maxx and Marshalls online.
T.J. Maxx is located at 321 Forum Drive, and 138 Harbison Boulevard in Columbia, 5454 Sunset Boulevard in Lexington, and 1300 Broad Street Ext. in Sumter.
Marshalls is located at 7201 Two Notch Road and 268 Harbison Boulevard in Columbia
As always, maximize your style and minimize your spending~

As a long time console gamer I have made certain observations about the progress of consoles over the past few years. I, like everyone else, have enjoyed the technological advancement which has come as time has marched on. As systems get more powerful games can get more complex, graphics can improve, sound quality can increase, and so on. As much as I enjoy Xbox and I will enjoy PlayStation 3, I constantly find myself comparing these systems to previous iterations and all too often I find them wanting.
It is my opinion that console gaming peaked with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Though it has just 16-bit graphics and a CPU which can't even power one of today's cell phones, this is arguably the best console gaming system of all time.

Muhal Richard Abrams: Colors in Thirty-Third
Colors in Thirty-third
Muhal Richard Abrams (piano)
Colors in Thirty-third (Black Saint BSR0091)
Muhal Richard Abrams (piano), John Blake (violin), John Purcell (soprano sax), Dave Holland (cello), Fred Hopkins (bass), Andrew Cyrille (drums).
Composed by Muhal Richard Abrams.
Recorded: New York, December 19, 1986
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Muhal is the best at composing complex, snake-like melodies. The melodies turn when you least expect. The last phrase of the melody creates a centripetal feeling as it repeats itself incessantly before finally releasing into the solos. Muhal created the types of musical phrases M-Base has become known for. What is also brilliant here is how the soloists move into each other in surprising ways.

UMass Falls To Dayton, 66-59
Feb 8, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. (AP) - Keith Waleskowski hit back-to-back baskets to break a 54-54 tie as Dayton went on to beat Massachusetts, 66-59, in an Atlantic 10 Conference game Sunday.
The Flyers (19-3, 9-0 Atlantic 10) posted their ninth straight victory. UMass (9-12, 3-6 Atlantic 10) had won four in a row.
Dayton used a 12-5 run during the final five minutes to gain the win.
Although scoring only two points and playing only eight minutes because of foul trouble in the first half, Waleskowski finished with a game-high 18 points. Sean Finn added 17, Mark Jones 13 and Monty Scott 10 for Dayton.
It was still a 5-point game (62-57) with less than a minute to play, but Scott scored on a slam, and Warren Williams hit one from the line to give Dayton breathing room.
Stephane Lasme was high for UMass with 13 points, followed by Chris Chadwick with 12 and Jeff Viggiano (13 rebounds) and Anthony Anderson with 11 points.
Dayton scored the game's first eight points, but UMass, helped by six three-pointers, soon made it a game. A three-pointer by Chadwick pulled the Minutemen even at 17-17 and a trey by Anderson gave the Minutemen their first lead at 21-20.
Dayton was on top 34-28, but Chadwick and Anderson hit back-to-back threes to even the score at 34 halftime.
UMass men's basketball (9-12, 3-6 Atlantic 10) returns to action Saturday, Feb. 14, as it travels to Xavier for a 4:00 p.m. contest.

Panama City - This week's Golden Apple winner is Marsha Winkles, a 3rd grade teacher at Callaway Elementary School. Mrs. Winkles' students and colleagues say her positive attitude is contagious, and her optimism is motivating.
"No matter what is going on, she always has a smile for everybody," said Assistant Principal Lisa Jones. In Mrs. Winkles' 3rd grade classroom, challenging mathematical concepts are taught not from a book, but hands-on, using rubberbands to create angles and shapes.
Catering to different learning styles is one of her specialties, according to Jones. "She is interested in how they learn. She makes adjustments so that all those modalities are met."
She works with students one-on-one, something Justin Tharp really appreciates. "She is the best teacher ever," he said. He nominated her not one time but "like 50."
She cares deeply for her students and wants them to know that. "Our room is like a family because we spend more time together during the school year than anyone else. I try to let them know that I love them and it matters to me not just now but ten years from now, 20 years from now," said Mrs. Winkles. "I had some really good teachers while I was growing up that really made a difference in my life so I wanted to be able to make a difference in the lives of someone else."

We reported about the Half-Life 2 protest that was going on over the weekend, so that Valve would hopefully take notice, step up and release some information on Half-Life 3. How did this go?
Well, Half-Life 2's numbers went from the 3000-mark, to over 13,000 during the protest. This pushed Half-Life 2 into the top 20, and just short of the top 10. At its peak, it sat at number 11. Very nice for a protest.
Of course, 30,000+ members were touted to take part in this protest. The organiser has said:
I am personally impressed with what we've achieved today. We're nowhere near done - in fact, we are currently in the process of planning new activities; this was only our first attempt, and, in my eyes, was a success for everyone.

INSECTICIDE for $0.19 on Gamersgate
I'd heard this was only half a game, but still, for only 19 cents, and since I had some blue coins I picked it up:
Almost any game is worth paying 19 cents even if I just play it once.
Yikes, 12p. Does that even cover the cost of hosting a 320mb file?
it doesn't deserve that much though. this game should be free.
Wonderful game. It's a shame it's treated this way.
Oh well, perhaps more people will play it at least.
I think someone must have originally put the sale price as the list price, as it used to be listed as List price: $0.74, but now it's list price is $2.99 and its sale price is $0.74.
The game wasn't that bad. The adventure portions were a lot of fun, and the action portions were tolerable. It's too bad that part 2 will never see the light of day.
Um... lol?!
Oh yes - first very low sales, then opinion pieces reinterpreting the sales as poor quality, and now someone desecrating the good name of Insecticide with spam!
Will there be no end to Insectcide bullying?

This is so damn random, it's giving me a headache… but a good kind. Cardboard crafter extraordinaire, TK615 put together a very odd nativity scene for Christmas. Instead of getting some crummy plastic statues from WalMart, TK615 (I really wish I knew your real name buddy…) took a pile of cardboard, some hot glue and put together this pretty rad Robot themed nativity scene.
I made this using nothing but cardboard, hot glue, and OCD. 2 days no sleep…. (cut, glue, burn,… repeat)…. there is no templates, it's all free hand…. lot of circles, trial and error…. measure twice cut once…..
I used to work with a lot of cardboard during my set build/painting days and that shit is no joke. For him (or her) to complete this whole 3D robot scene in just two days is mind-boggling. The scene includes Clank (Ratchet and Clank), Crow T. Robot (Mystery Science Theater 3000), and Bender (Futurama… but I didn't have to tell you that right?) as the three magi, Johnny Number Five from 'Short Circuit' as Joseph, Rosie from the 'Jetsons' as the Virgin Mary, and representing the shepherd and his flock, WALL-E and an Imperial AT-AT from 'Star Wars'. The robot representing "Baby Jesus"… I have no fuckin' clue. Too bad it wasn't R2-D2. I love how Johnny Five is staring down at the baby while Rosie is too busy being worried whether J5 will notice that he wasn't the one that install the baby in her. Ratchet must know whats up cause he pointing and laughing at the fool.

Ward People with ADHD are sometimes defined as having a disability. There are two laws that directly relate to people with disabilities.Rehabilitation Act of 1973, section 504This law states that programs receiving federal funds, such as public schools or government employers, cannot single someone out on the basis of a disability. That means that any program that gets federal money must provide the same services to everyone.Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 1990This civil rights law prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. It does not guarantee special services for people with disabilities, but it does allow a person to ask for reasonable accommodations in a school or workplace. A reasonable accommodation for students is a change that is made to meet a student's learning needs. For example, people with learning disabilities might need extra time to take a test.The ADA applies only to people who meet three conditions:They have a physical or mental impairment that significantly limits life activities, such as learningThis impairment is documented , for example, a written diagnosis by a doctorOr, they are seen as having an impairmentOne of the problems with the ADA law is that it doesn't define different aspects of disability. For example, it doesn't explain what a mental impairment is or what "limited activities" include. Congress passed an amendment to the law in 2008 to clarify some of these issues.The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) The most important change to the ADA involves the actual definition of the word "disability." Under the amended law, a person must still meet the three conditions above to be considered disabled – but the terms of each condition are much broader now. The table below highlights some of these changes.ADA (1990) vs. ADAAA (2008)ADAADAAAAn impairment "substantially limits" a person when it prevents them from performing a "major life activity."The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is now in charge of defining what a "substantial limit" is; in 2009, they created a list of nine guidelines that must be applied to figure out if an impairment "substantially limits" a major life activity.Major life activities aren't defined.Major life activities now include: caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working. The "major life activities" definition also considers a person's bodily functions. A person can be considered disabled if any part of his or her body systems aren't working properly.Doesn't account for disabilities that are "episodic."An "episodic condition" is a disability if it interferes with a major life activity when it occurs. For example, if a person has epilepsy, he or she will be considered disabled if the seizures get in the way of performing daily activities."Mitigating measures"—such as assistive devices, medications, or artificial limbs—are considered when defining a person as disabled.Things other than eyeglasses and contact lenses can't be considered when determining if a person has a disability. Under the ADAAA, a child with ADHD can be considered disabled. Parents should work with Disability Services Staff to make sure that their children can get the classroom accommodations that they need.

Hitler: The Rise of Evil is a Canadian TV miniseries in two parts, directed by Christian Duguay and produced by Alliance Atlantis. It explores Adolf Hitler's rise and his early consolidation of power during the years after World War I and focuses on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted state of German society following the war made that ascent possible. The film also focuses on Ernst Hanfstaengl's influence on Hitler's rise to power. The miniseries, which premiered simultaneously in May 2003 on CBC in Canada and CBS in the United States, received two Emmy awards. The film's subplot follows the struggles of Fritz Gerlich, a German journalist who opposes the rising National Socialist German Workers Party. He is portrayed as to fulfill the essence of the quotation disputably attributed to Edmund Burke, which is displayed at the beginning and at the end of the film: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." The story revolves around Adolf Hitler, from his childhood with his authoritarian father Alois and beloved mother Klara, to his life as a destitute student trying to pursue a career as an artist. It also documents his gradual embrace of anti-semitism. Hitler is then shown to join the German Workers' Party and befriends Ernst Röhm, leading to the Munich Beer Hall Putsch and finally his quest to become Chancellor of Germany. In this film, Hitler's rise is largely attributed to Ernst Hanfstaengl, who finances his cause and provides him with political connections. Hitler is shown to harbor romantic feelings for Hanfstaengel's wife, Helene. Hitler's friendship with Röhm is also well highlighted — including the latter's homosexuality — as well as his relationship with his niece Geli Raubal, and her mysterious death.
Major events shown in the later stages of the film are the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor of Germany, the Reichstag Fire, the announcement of the Enabling Act, the Night of the Long Knives, and finally the death of President Hindenburg and subsequent burial in the Tannenberg memorial, where Hitler declares the "1000-year Reich" as his voice is drowned in the chants of "Sieg Heil" from an adoring crowd.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 23 Mercer baseball team gave up a season-high 19 hits in a stunning 11-5 road loss to Florida A&M on Tuesday evening at Moore-Kittles Field.
Florida A&M (4-37) scored nine runs over the last three innings of the contest to snap a four-game losing streak and earn its first win over Mercer (32-12) since 2008.
The Bears got off to a quick start after junior Austin Barrett followed a double from classmate Nick Backlund with an RBI single to give Mercer a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
With junior Forrest Garrett piling up zeros on the mound for the Bears, the Mercer bats picked up two more runs in the top of the fourth, courtesy of a two-RBI single by Barrett, to go up 4-0.
After cruising through the first four innings, Garrett ran into some trouble in the bottom of the fifth, giving up a two-RBI single to junior Ben Robinson to make the score 4-2.
Florida A&M continued its charge with a five-run bottom of the sixth. A balk, a wild pitch, an RBI groundout, an RBI single and an RBI double plated the four runs in the frame that put the home team in front, 7-4.
Mercer got one back in the top of the seventh, using an RBI single by Backlund to pull within two, at 7-5.
The Bears rally came up short in the end, however, as Florida A&M pushed across four more runs in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win.
Barrett paced the Mercer offense in the loss, going 2-for-4 with three RBI.
Mercer returns to action tomorrow afternoon when it concludes its mid-week series with Florida A&M. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Moore-Kittles Field.

Women and Epilepsy
Epilepsy has several implications in women's health. The Mount Sinai Hospital has experts specially trained to work with these issues, some of which are described below.
Epilepsy and Menstruation
Hormones can affect epilepsy, and a significant number of women may experience worsened seizures during or just before their periods. Catamenial epilepsy refers to epilepsy affected by the menstrual cycle. Sometimes, increased doses of antiepileptic medication can be tried during vulnerable times of the month, but there are no FDA-approved guidelines yet. The Epilepsy Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital individually tailors each treatment plan depending on the patient's pattern of seizures.
Epilepsy and Oral Contraceptives
Many antiepileptic drugs interact with oral contraceptives making them less effective. This is particularly true of carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, and topiramate. To be safe, women are advised to use a barrier method of birth control as back-up to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Epilepsy and Pregnancy
Women with epilepsy wishing to start a family are advised to talk to their doctors. While many antiepileptic drugs may slightly increase the risk of birth defects, the vast majority of women with epilepsy have healthy babies. Newer studies are redefining which drugs are safer; lamotrigine and carbamazepine are relatively safe. In contrast, valproic acid has a higher incidence of major birth defects compared with other antiepileptic medications. Whenever possible, using only one antiepileptic medication is recommended in pregnant women or those planning to become so. That's why women with epilepsy considering pregnancy should talk to their neurologists before conception so that adjustments can be made to their regimens. Any woman of childbearing age taking antiepileptic medication should receive folic acid supplementation to help prevent birth defects.
Despite the risk of birth defects, stopping antiepileptic medication is never a good idea without first speaking to a neurologist. Seizures can be harmful to both mother and fetus.
Epilepsy and Breastfeeding
The American Academy of Neurology recommends breastfeeding for women with epilepsy. There are some conceivable risks of breastfeeding to infants whose mothers are taking antiepileptic medication. The newer generation of antiepileptic medication is actually thought to carry a greater risk of transmission through breast milk. Despite the possible risks, the proven benefits of breastfeeding, such as reduced risk of autoimmune disorders, and enhanced cognitive abilities, are compelling.

For many individuals, fresh business ideas are a regular occurrence along with the tempting desire to pursue one or two of them occasionally. What holds back some would-be entrepreneurs are their present financial situations. Perhaps you might not have enough funds on hand to get a small online gig off the ground and need a nudge of capital inflow to overcome the initial expenses inherent with jump starting business endeavors.
The Kabbage Working Capital service was created with that very issue in mind and while it is certainly no substitute for the more conventional bank business loans, it can potentially alleviate some of the initial financial burdens an individual would face with a small to medium sized eBay or Amazon store.

Dean Christian is in his second season at SMU, having joined the Mustang staff in the summer of 2004.
In his new role, Christian will assist in on-campus recruiting, individual player workouts, scouting and player development on the court and in the classroom.
"Dean is a very bright young man," said Tubbs. "As an Air Force graduate, his background will mesh well with what we do here at SMU. He is a tireless worker and a real `go-getter.' He has a passion and love for the game that will be a bonus to our players and our staff."
Christian comes to SMU following a long tenure at the Air Force Academy, where he served in a variety of roles. For the past two seasons, Christian has been the Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach at the USAFA Preparatory School after serving as an Assistant Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach since 2001. He led the squad to a 71-28 record in three seasons at the helm, including a 31-3 mark in 2003-04 - the best record in school history. Five of his former players were members of Air Force Academy's record-setting 22-7 team in 2003-04, as the Falcons reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 42 years.
Prior to his time at the Preparatory School, Christian was an assistant coach for the Air Force Academy under Coach Reggie Minton for four seasons. In his role, he recruited back-to-back Mountain West Freshmen of the Year in Tommy Bellairs and Joel Gerlach. He was also the USAFA's NCAA Compliance Coordinator.
Christian has also served as head coach for numerous teams including various USAF and USA Armed Forces teams and CISM in Treviso, Italy, and as an assistant with the Sacramento Kings Summer Pro-Am squad. He was also a Detachment Commander for the Second Infantry Division Aviation Brigade in Korea.
Christian received a BS from the USAFA in 1982 and an MS from Northern Colorado in 1994.

Marilyn Monroe: The Model, The Actress, The Fashionista- 50 Years Since Her Death
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."― Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was an actress, an icon, a fashionista, a model, and a sex symbol. But if there's one thing she wasn't-- it was boring or ridiculous ! And she was certainly smarter than anyone gave her credit for. In fact, she was so "not ridiculous" that she could make grown men do whatever she wanted. She had a baseball player (her second husband), a playwright (her third husband) and the President of the United States (John F. Kennedy) falling all over her. But at the end of the day, the woman born Norma Jeane Baker wasn't happy and she died at the young age of 36.
At FashionTV, her song "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" is our anthem. It's the song we wake up to in the morning and the song that keeps us going all day. Marilyn Monroe inspires us all in fashion and in life, even 50 years after her death. Today, August 5, 2012, FashionTV wants to remember the stunning Hollywood screen legend, that will go down in history as one of the most beautiful people of all time, for her best attributes--her stunning looks, perfect figure, sweet sing-song voice, famous movies, and powerful words.
Marilyn Monroe - The Model
"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world." - Marilyn Monroe
Some wonder if Marilyn Monroe would be considered a pop culture icon, had she still been alive today at 86 years old after having many children and eventually going into retirement. Publications like The Telegraph say it's doubtful. For she was immortalized in the beauty that became her in her ripe 20's and 30's and she passed away far too soon, still immersing herself in that beauty that was a part of the Marilyn Monroe we all remembered.
But it was her young teenage beauty that first caught the eyes of a photographer while she was working in a factory. At the time, Norma Jeane was just a small town girl with mouse brown hair. She took his advice and enlisted with a modeling agency, dying her brown locks to platinum blonde with Jean Harlow in mind.
While Marilyn Monroe suffered from stage fright during her Hollywood years, ironically she loved having her picture taken. She was in her element in front of a camera with someone behind the lense snapping away, even when the photos were nude. Monroe did pose for Playboy and Hugh Hefner is quoted as saying she is one of the reasons the magazine did so well from the beginning.
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle," Marilyn Monroe once said. She certainly did, in front of a camera.
Marilyn Monroe - The Actress
"Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it." - Marilyn Monroe
Here at FashionTV, we do believe diamonds are a girl's best friend. And it was Marilyn Monroe who taught us so, with her show-stopping rendition of the song in a pink strapless gown during the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Though her acting career only spanned a little more than a decade, many of Marilyn's flicks will go down in history as some of the most memorable movies of all time and it's because of her part in them. There's All About Eve, The Seven Year Itch, Some Like It Hot, The Misfits--the list goes on and on and on. In the 50s and 60s, she played along some of the best actors in the world including Laurence Olivier, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, and Clark Gable.
Marilyn Monroe was declared the 6th greatest actress of all time by the American Film Institute in 1999. Ironically, film historian Leonard Maltin says she was known for her image, not her acting chops--which she did have in films like Bus Stop or The Misfits. Ironically, it's not those roles she is remembered for, but the "dumb blondes" roles or the ones that are sugary sweet like singer Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot.
Marilyn Monroe - The Fashionista
"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world." - Marilyn Monroe
Sure, Marilyn Monroe may be best known for her on screen costumes. There's the pink strapless gown from "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend," the white halter subway dress with an accordion pleat circle skirt from The Seven Year Itch, and
But there's also the Jean Louis with 4,000 rhinestones she wore to sing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to President John F. Kennedy and the white form fitting body con gown in The Prince and The Showgirl.
While so many women were adhering to a conservative 50s and 60s wardrobe, Monroe was blossoming in her healthy form fitting "feminine ideal" which she furthered with elegance, sophistication, confidence and a proper stance.
Of course the help of her costume designer William Travilla didn't hurt either. The designer created her looks for 8 of her movies, including that infamous pink strapless gown in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. He also dressed her for movies like Monkey Business, Don't Bother To Knock, and Bus Stop. While Monroe loved herself a good Emilio Pucci dress (ironically, she was dressed in her favorite one at her own funeral), it was Travilla's designs that attracted her most. She once said Travilla a letter asking him to dress her forever.
Marilyn Monroe is a Hollywood actress, model, and fashion icon, whose star will never stop shining, despite her unexpected and early demise. FashionTV plays tribute to the screen legend who came through the world with a purse of her lips and a gleam in her eye.

These days you can't swing a cat in a Sephora without knocking over scores of "natural" products made from supposedly skin-saving minerals. But 20 years ago, when Jane Iredale started her makeup line, there was exactly one company in the field: hers. She gave us the scoop on how she got her start and why not all mineral makeup is created equally.
What made you want to start a makeup company? I was a casting director, so I always saw these actors and models who were going from job to job and having all kinds of makeup put on their skin. I wasn't really thinking about starting a makeup company as much as bringing out a foundation that didn't cause skin problems. I wish I could say I had a business plan but I didn't.
What was the biggest challenge? When we started in 1993, there were no mineral makeup companies. It was hard in the beginning because the great majority of chemists were men who had done the same things, year in and year out, and they didn't want to do something different. I was fortunate to find two women, a formulator and a chemist, who were willing to try. The three of us really perfected it.
What was your breakthrough? The first person to appreciate what it was was a plastic surgeon. I was lucky because it was at a time when laser resurfacing was just starting, and our loose powder was light, easy to remove, and a great cover for the redness people would get after the treatment. It was the perfect product for delicate new skin. It spread through the medical community and gave us a lot of credibility.
Now there's tons of mineral makeup. What should people look for? If the first ingredient is talc, nylon, or cornstarch, it's not a mineral makeup. The first ingredient should be minerals—iron oxides, mica, titanium dioxide—otherwise you may be getting some minerals but the majority of the makeup is made from something else. Also it should have at least SPF 15. If it's a good mineral makeup, it contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which automatically give you sun protection.
Is any product particularly hard to make without synthetic ingredients? Yes, mascara. It took us years to come out with one. It's hard because you're dealing with a dark tube that's usually at room temperature, so it's an easy place for bacteria to grow. Our latest mascara, The Longest Lash, is our first that thickens and lengthens. Now we know a bit more about what we we're doing.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
For customers who like their Euro flavored with a little romance.
The thematically obtuse Cape Sin now has a worthy companion piece; just as pretty, and perhaps a bit more bewildering. Fortunately, the box cover liner notes make a convenient crib sheet, which is good, because even watching the tape in real time won't help a bit in trying to fathom the plot. Basically, what you have here is a good-looking, couples-oriented feature where people tan, talk into mirrors, inspect lavish houses, check out kitchen pantries, walk around pristine lawns, get tied to bed posts and fuck. generally, the luminescent blond cover girl, gets it in the ass in one of the scenes, we're happy to report. And there's the ever-faithful all-cast orgy. The sex, for the most part, is less inclined toward the hard-edged, gaping/spittle side of things which generaly defines the Euro product.

Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) is considered by many scholars, critics and readers to be the greatest contemporary Spanish-American writer. The works of this acclaimed Argentine poet, essayist, novelist and short-story writer influenced thought, writing and creativity worldwide. Next to Cervantes, no other writer in the Spanish language has received as much scholarly attention.
The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges provides a detailed bibliographic tool to research the manuscripts and letters, books, periodicals, photographs, audio and video recordings, newspaper and magazine clippings, and other documents — written by Borges and about Borges. It is an unrivaled resource essential for every scholar and student of Spanish literature and culture.
Summary: The writings of Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) are an undisputed part of the Spanish language canon in comparative literature, translation and cultural studies — present in every graduate-level curriculum in Spanish literature departments and in the vast majority of undergraduate programs. The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges is the only, online bibliographic search tool that allows scholars and students to conduct in-depth research on the works, life and times of this acclaimed Argentine poet, essayist, novelist and short-story writer.
This online resource includes:
- Full-text search capability. The entire corpus of Borges' works has been XML-annotated, allowing researchers the unprecedented ability to search not just for a single term, but for all instances that relate to that term. Because of copyright restrictions, the texts themselves are not included, but with the information provided, researchers will easily find them in most libraries
- A complete primary bibliography of more than 2,800 entries. All Borges' works are listed, including very rare and unpublished texts and English translations where they exist. Every record features complete publication information, publication history of the text, a list of all periodicals and books where it was published and links to the bibliographic record for each of these publications
- A large, fully indexed secondary bibliography. Users are provided with easy access to the voluminous number of dissertations, interviews, articles, criticism, books, press coverage and more concerning Borges, his works and his cultural and intellectual influence. Currently there are over 5,000 entries, from 1923 to present — indexed from more than 2,000 books, 1,600 periodicals and several thousand newspaper clippings. Sources include foreign publications dealing with the historically important reception of Borges in the United States and France. Many entries include full-text images — especially those published before 1950 — taken from little-known journals or newspapers that no longer exist
- An index with access to 3,200 names. Short biographical statements appear with each search and results can be limited to complete works, essays, poetry or fiction
- An encyclopedia with 1,000 entries of the most important subjects about which Borges wrote. The encyclopedia indexes the complete collection
The interface and the majority of content in The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges is in Spanish. The collection includes thousands of records with cross-references, allowing the user to navigate among different resources while researching one of the twentieth century's most important literary, intellectual and cultural figures.
Significance: Jorge Luis Borges is considered by many scholars, critics and readers as the greatest contemporary Spanish-American writer. Next to Cervantes, no other writer in the Spanish language has received as much scholarly attention. His writings were the single most important influence on the Latin American boom of the 1960s which produced extraordinary literature and led to greater worldwide acceptance of Latin American writers and thought. This collection provides a detailed search/bibliographic tool for learning about his works and his life.
Subjects in The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges cover a panorama of history, literature, philosophy, art, politics, linguistics and culture. Thus, The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges is not only an invaluable source for Latin American studies but also a beginning point for cultural studies.
Source: This product is sourced from the Jorge Luis Borges Collection and Documentation Center of the Fundación San Telmo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which contains the world's largest collection of materials related to Borges' life and works. The collection was begun in 1986 and includes manuscripts and letters, books, periodicals, photographs, audio and video recordings, newspaper and magazine clippings, and other objects and documents. The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges is based on this extensive collection and is the first bibliographic database to provide access to a wide range of materials on Borges including rare and unindexed materials from national and provincial newspapers and journals.

BURST to prominence at the The Open Championship in 1988, famously pitching in at Royal Birkdale's final hole to tie for fourth while still an amateur.
Won the prestigious Hampshire Hog trophy in 1994 and lowered his handicap to plus three, at age 14, in the same year. Played in the 1997 Walker Cup at 17 years and ten days, turning professional the day after his Birkdale heroics.
Found life on the European Tour tough at first, missing his first 21 cuts but successfully came through Tour School in 2000 to earn the respect of seasoned tour campaigners and established himself the following year by finishing 33rd on the Order Of Merit.
His career really took off in 2002 when he won his maiden title, capturing the Dunhill Championship in Johannesburg, the city of his birth. Went on to win the Nashua Masters title in South Africa and the Crowns Tournament in Japan before winning the British Masters and breaking into the world's top 40.
Despite his on course successes, Rose suffered personal tragedy in 2002 with the death of his father, Ken, who died of leukaemia. Set up the Ken Rose Foundation in his father's memory to aid the recovery and care of leukaemia sufferers.
Finished tied for fifth in the 2003 US Open and reached number 33 in the Official World Golf Rankings before moving to Florida and taking up membership of the US PGA Tour in 2004. Won more than $1m in prize money but started to slide down the world rankings.
Banked seven figures again in 2005 but by the middle of 2006 had fallen out of the world's top 125.
However, once again turned his fortunes around by landing three top-four finishes in the second half of the season and ended his winless run with victory in the European Tour's Mastercard Masters in November. Married fiancee Kate the following month.
Continued his good form in 2007, finishing tied fifth in the US Masters and was in contention to win this month's US Open.
Has won more than $6m on US soil and is now ranked 18 in the world. Will be among the favourites for The Open Championship at Carnoustie next month and is tipped to be the first English major winner since Nick Faldo's triumph in the US Masters 11 years ago.
NAME: Justin Peter Rose.
OCCUPATION: Professional golfer.
DATE OF BIRTH: July 30, 1980 LOCAL LINK: Lived at Hook with his parents after they moved to England from Johannesburg when he was five, learning the game at Hartley Wintney and then North Hants Golf Club.

Don't get us wrong: we very much appreciate what the underwire does for us. But every now and then, we have a day where we'd happily give up the extra boost for some good, old-fashioned, wire-free comfort. With this Never Say Never Sweetie Soft Bra ($49), that doesn't have to mean throwing our sexy factor out the window as well. This piece keeps things hot with semi-transparent lace and a vintage cut.
Target sells something just like this in a variety of colors. I own it and totally love.

Anyone using the Online Armor firewall? At the moment I'm using the free version, wondering if there's really any reason to move to the paid version. What has your experience been?
Also running NOD32 and various Spyware programs on a regular, but not realtime, basis. Usually use Firefox with NoScript - but I do need to use Outlook.
I trialed that solution back in 2002 or 2003. I liked that pesonal FW solution. At the time, it didn't have any snake-oil in it. I don't know what it's got now.

The Web
We all know the power of social media to connect and reach out. That is not disputed. But I have been considering the other side of the coin. There is a dark side.
The web is such an appropriate name for the Internet. It truly lures us in, captures us, and is so sticky, it becomes nearly impossible to escape.
It entangles us. Ensnares us. Traps us.
Social Media and our Spiritual Life
Is Social Media detrimental to our spiritual disciplines?
Can you go without media, without being connected to friends and family, without getting jittery and anxious?
Can you say the same about praying to God or thinking about God?
Does being cut off from social media make you feel like you are missing out?
Social Media stokes our appetite for attention and to be known and loved. "Friend" is now a verb "like" is now a noun.
Facebook does not discriminate between our intimate friends and family, interests, and news. Friends become "fans" and we become "brands".
We consume info and manage relationships/connections in ways we never could face-to-face with people.
It's all facilitated by a corporate entity that is harvesting all our data and the info of our lives.
We have commodified relationships. Friends and family...with ads.
Networked Individualism
Our system of friends unbound by time or location.
Physical location is not as important. We don't have to be present to be considered present.
And at the center... it's not a location, cause, or common identity- but rather the individual- that is at the heart of social media.
On-demand social connectedness. We control and manage others access to us. Don't like you...block you.
Dialed down human contact. Guard against commitment. Autonomy vs. Belonging.
Insensitive to surroundings- we are not able to be present, while we are face down in our smart phones or iPads.
We don't have to look up and see the messy people around us...we see the "digitized perfect reality" of those somewhere else.
Christian Community
Psychically far away from those who are near. - We excuse ourselves from the call of God whom we serve and the situation/circumstances of those around us.
Are we missing something...not actively connecting mind and spirit?
Ignoring people...God's creation. People that Jesus died for.
Christian community requires real presence- with real people with real differences.
People who are not like us. People with needs. Broken people, unattractive people, people who will put demands on us, people who require attention, who require our time.
This is at odds with social media- all choice, efficiency, control.
Technology and Discipleship
Is technology is more than just a tool?
It shapes us and embeds itself into our social practices.
The new etiquette allows technology bleed into every aspect of our lives.
What does sacrifice, servant-heartedness, or selflessness look like on-line?
What does sacrifice or servant-heartedness look like surrounded by Google or Facebook ads?
People as Channels
We have all the technology we need to ignore those physically around us/near us... and feel we have a good reason to do so.
We don't join as a family or jointly with our spouse-- we have to join individually and participate individually.
When we go to church or small group we are with people.
When we go online...we are alone...even when surrounded by people.
Typically we express an idealized reality of our lives....not the painful dirty reality of our lives.
We let people in, but we manage them via privacy settings.
It's the digital veneer that we project...not the raw reality of our needs, pain, and hurts.
We have turned people into media channels that we tune into, turn off, mute, or ignore.
God vs. Social Media
Think about your time with God and with people.
• Do you have push yourself to carve out time to pray, read, meditate, and connect with God?
• Do you have to push yourself to stop and make time for people...messy people with messy problems?
• Do you constantly, almost without thinking pray, reach out to God, and reach out to others.
• Does it require effort?
Think about your time online.
• Do you have to push yourself to go online, Like, Friend, Tweet, post...to disappear into your screen and the web of social media.
• Do you constantly, almost with no effort go into your online into social media?
• Does it require effort?
• Is it easy? Maybe to easy?

Today my group and I gave our presentation about Papa John's. We put a lot of work in, and wow were we in for a surprise today! This was our second presentation for the class, and we were expecting a nice easy presentation after practicing it as a group. It didn't exactly go as planned. The teachers listening asked many questions and the presentation turned in to a question and answer session. We found out that the future presentations will be much harder as they are supposed to be more of a discussion. These presentations are practice for the case competition we have at the end of the year. The case competition is where my group of 4 will present to faculty and alumni for 50 minutes about recommending a strategy for a company. These presentations are a great experience, but I am definitely nervous for the case competition!
This past week they also began construction on a new dormitory. It has been very interesting to see the progress that has been made already as there is now a building sized hole in the ground. The building is supposed to be done for the school year next year so all of you should be able to enjoy the new dorm!

BOARDMAN — A free informative seminar on "Naturopathic First Aid for Your Family" will be presented by the Holistic Moms Network from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at Boardman Library, 7680 Glenwood Ave.
Dr. Ted Suzelis will discuss natural remedies to help families survive the allergy season, colds, flu, burns, rashes, bumps, bruises and cuts.
For more information or to reserve seating, call Maria Marucci, (330) 533-4357 or visit holisticmoms.org.
Would love to hear Dr. Ted's opinion of the H1N1 vaccination and receive tips on how to avoid the flu (both types) this year. All the H1N1 media hype, makes you think the black plague is here, is completely out of control.
This group always has such interesting speakers. I'm definitely attending because I would like to have as much information as possible regarding allergies and avoiding the flu.
Just what this community needs: pseudo-medicine from a pseudo-doctor. I heard that Swine Flu is spread by CIA brain waves. I hope he can recommend the proper grade of tinfoil....
ytownoptimist, I am doing a lecture on H1N1 in my Boardman office on 11/12. For more info on upcoming lectures, go to www.ohiond.com/lectures.html
I also encourage those who feel I am offering "pseudo-medicine" to attend lectures, so that they can see that I did attend a 4-year medical school and that I am not a "pseudo-doctor."

Hard to believe our parents gave us shoe boxes and silverware to play with. Even harder to believe that Etch A Sketches brought us hours of fun. My, how things have changed. Today, kids can play with vTech's MobiGo ($60 + extra games), an educational and gaming system especially for the preschool to eight-year-old set (fun group, btw). Straight from the box your little ones will have seven educational games at their chubby little fingertips. We suppose that SAT scores of the future will tell us how much more effective toys like this are than those old shoe boxes.
Don't know what kind of parents you had, DJ, but I got refrigerator and washer/dryer boxes!
Anyone remember that Punky Brewster where Cherie hid in the refrigerator?

Gardening Articles: Care :: Seeds & Propagation
Sure-Fire Tomatoes (page 2 of 2)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Growing Tomatoes
Start your tomatoes indoors 6 weeks before the average last frost date in your area. You can determine your average last frost date by visiting the National Climate Data Center Web site, asking your local garden center, or contacting a Master Gardener in your area.
Fill 2-inch square plastic or peat pots with moistened seed-starting mix and sow 2 seeds per pot. Put the pots in a 70-degree F room under artificial lights turned on 14 hours a day. Use Grow Lights or one warm-white and one cool-white fluorescent bulb in the fixture. Position the lights just a few inches above the seedling tops and raise the lights as the seedlings grow.
Gently brush the seedlings with your hand every day to promote shorter, stockier growth. You can get the same result by placing a small fan near the seedlings and blowing a gentle breeze on them. When the seedling height is 3 times the pot diameter (6 inches tall for 2-inch pots), transplant into 4-inch-diameter pots.
Plan to plant the tomato seedlings outside 1 to 2 weeks after the average last frost date in your area. One week before planting outside, harden off the seedlings. Do this by moving the plants outdoors on a cloudy, calm day for 1 hour. Then bring them indoors again. Each day extend the time the plants spend outdoors. The day before planting, leave them outside overnight.
Preparing the Garden
Unless you have sandy garden soil, plan to create raised beds for your tomatoes. You can build raised bed frames or rake the garden soil into 4"- to 6"-high mounds with flattened tops. As you build the beds, work a 1- to 2-inch-thick layer of compost into the soil. In cold areas cover the beds with red plastic mulch 2 weeks before transplanting. The mulch preheats the soil and the red color helps tomatoes produce more fruit. In general, space tomato seedlings 24" to 36" apart in the beds.
Question of the Week: Growing Asparagus
Q. I want to start an asparagus bed this spring. How should I prepare the soil and site?
A. An asparagus bed is permanent, so take care to prepare it correctly from the beginning. Choose a sunny site. Asparagus will tolerate some shade, but a lot of sun will help ward off disease and produce more vigorous plants. Asparagus likes sandy soil with a pH of about 6.0.
Plant asparagus in rows, spaced 4' apart. Dig trenches about 15-inches deep and 4 or 5 feet apart. Add a 4-inch to 6-inch-deep layer of well-rotted manure or compost in the bottom of the ditch. Add back some of the soil you removed, mixing it in with bone meal. Form a small mound along the length of the trench. Set out the crowns on the top of this mound, spreading the roots carefully and spacing them 2 feet apart. Cover the roots with about 6 inches of soil, packing it gently around the crowns. Gently water the newly-planted crowns. As the shoots emerge, keep adding more soil around them, until the trenches are filled to ground level. Ten plants per person should give you plenty of asparagus. The first year after planting, only a few pathetic spears will emerge. Don't be tempted to pick them! Wait until the third year to begin harvesting for good long-term results.

I'm a little new on searching via bash, so feel free to give me suggestions on the methods to use instead of this, which I'll never use again.
I'm searching for occurances of a string, recursively in a directory, with ~50 not-that-large php-files in it; some in current directory, some in directories beneath current dir, three levels of directories down at most.
The method I'm using is
find . | xargs grep "module" > module.txt
When in simple (one level) directories, this works fine, but in this case, the file became 4 GB large until it filled up all space on the partition. It wasn't even done yet.
Why is that file growing so large?
