Randolph's Restaurant at the Warwick Hotel recently set on a mission to find the best pork chop in Colorado. Colorado isn't exactly hog-farming country. Most hogs in the U.S. are raised in the Corn Belt (Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, etc.) and North Carolina. These pigs are usually raised on large farms and in enclosed buildings to protect the pigs from the harsh climate and disease.
Colorado's climate is drier, higher in elevation, and less-conducive to raising swine when compared to the Midwest; which means as badly as Colorado chefs want to locally source their pork, there is just no truly native supply. Chef Jesper Jonsson of Randolph's knows a little more about hog farming than the average chef from Denver.
Chef Jesper was led out to Meeker, Colorado after spending a few years as the executive chef for a catering company in New York City. Chef Jesper accommodated many meals for NYC's elite, including a man who splits his time between New York and his Meeker ranch. That same man provided Chef Jesper with a unique opportunity in Meeker. After accepting a chef position at the private ranch, Chef Jesper was out of the metropolis and into the plateaus of north-western Colorado.
Meeker, population 2,200, is thousands of miles, millions of people, and countless food sources away from New York. Meeker is mostly sheep-ranching country doing its part in helping Colorado become world-renowned for naturally sage and anise flavored lamb. Just outside of Meeker in the White River Valley is the Strang Ranch. Tom and Lisa, Stang Ranch proprietors, spend most of their time raising Herefords and Black Angus cows. At 6,500 feet above sea level, it's necessary to have a hearty livestock to weather such conditions as the wind, dry air, snow, and meager natural vegetation for foraging.
One thing Tom and Lisa discerned after moving to Meeker from the Midwest was that there are no pigs for the local 4-H kids to show. Lisa is originally from Meeker but spent her college years learning about livestock in other states where she met Tom. When Lisa and Tom took over Lisa's parents' ranch in Meeker, they wanted to raise a few pigs for the town's 4-H kids.
Enter Chef Jesper and his children who he currently raises in Meeker. He bought a pig from Tom and Lisa to allow them to take care of the pig as a project. Little did anyone know this little piggie would develop into a long-standing relationship between both families.
In fact, Randolph's currently sources pork from Tom and Lisa's ranch. Since Tom and Lisa only have a handful of pigs, Chef Jesper knows exactly where his pork is coming from and how they're treated.
Tom and Lisa's children take a special liking to the pigs and treat them like pets. The kids visit the piglets often and play tag with them in the barn. Pigs are social creatures and the more you visit them in their pens, the more they eat. If you leave them alone, they nap. The key to allowing a pig to grow quickly without added hormones or antibiotics is to visit them and visit them often. This is what makes Tom and Lisa's pigs superior to the rest. They are stress-free and naturally eat lots of food making them ideal for gaining weight.
What makes Tom and Lisa's relationship with Chef Jesper even more special is that they are truly creating the perfect pork chop. Chefs and pig farmers have conflicting ideas on what the perfect pig should be.
Most pig farmers will tell you that the pig litters must be large enough to be worth the cost of raising. The ideal litter is 10-12 piglets and beyond. Chefs will tell you it's all about the taste, which ultimately comes down to fat content (fat is flavor!) and the heritage. For chefs, Berkshire pigs are the cream-of-the-crop as they are prized for juiciness and tenderness. Its high fat content is ideal for long cooking and high temperatures. Berkshires are a rare breed of pig. That means they are expensive. Their litters are small, averaging 5-6 piglets, making them costly to raise. Chefs like Berkshires, pig farmers do not.
Yorkshire pigs are extremely common in America and are very muscular producing mostly lean meat. Their litters run 10-12 piglets which means farmers love them, but the high muscle content means chefs do not.
Duroc pigs are very different from Yorkshires and Berkshires. They are very docile in temperament and are known for gaining weight quickly. They have a tasty layer of fat between the skin and muscle, but aren't quite as tasty as the Berkshire breed.
What happens when you cross the three? We're not quite sure yet, but this is what Tom and Lisa are embarking on for Randolph's restaurant. Tom and Lisa are currently raising two male Berkshires for breeding. Chef Jesper already purchases 50/50 mixed Duroc Yorkshire pigs from the farm. In collaboration with Chef Jesper, Tom and Lisa plan on creating a pig which will be 50% Berkshire for the delicious taste, 25% Duroc for the added layer of fat and passive behavior, and 25% Yorkshire for the large litters and cost advantages.
Will this be the perfect pork chop? Yes, it will. This cross-breed will be one of the few pigs to satisfy both the pig farmer and the chef's desires. While none of these perfect pork chops are yet available, Randolph's is cooking up a pretty mean pork chop from Tom and Lisa's farm. So far, diners love the meatiness, the flavor, and tenderness delivered by the Duroc-Yorkshire, which means the Berkshire-Duroc-Yorkshire breed will be even better.
It'll be a little bit before the 50/25/25 chop makes its way to the menu at Randolph's. But be assured, the perfect pork chop is on its way to Denver!

Display caption
Hepworth said that this work was inspired by the interaction of people and architecture in the Piazza San Marco in Venice. Each form bears 'a specific and absolute position in relation to the others'. Her use of Serravazza marble, a quintessential classical material, is appropriate to such an Italianate source. The artist associated white marble with the Mediterranean sun. In fact, the base and the figures were all carved from a mantlepiece salvaged from her neighbour's house.

According to a Feb. 8 report from MMA Weekly, UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones says he has three fights left in the 205-pound ranks, before moving up to heavyweight for a fight against Cain Velasquez.
Jones, 26, already has a fight lined up against Glover Teixeira. Jones fights Teixeira in the main event of UFC 172, which is set for Apr. 26 in Baltimore, Maryland.
After that, he wants a rematch against Alexander Gustafsson, the man he beat at UFC 165. Jones' first fight with Gustafsson was an instant classic that earned the nod for "Fight of the Year" at the 2013 World MMA Awards.
Jones also mentioned that he wants to fight fast-rising light heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier, before moving up to the heavyweight ranks.
"I think I have a lot of work to do in the light heavyweight division still," Jones said. "My goals are to beat Glover Teixeira, beat [Alexander] Gustafsson in a rematch, and then beat [Daniel Cormier].
"However it plays out, that's a hectic schedule. Those three guys are on the prowl. I got a lot of work to do in staying where I'm at for sure, but I embrace it. That's the name of the game."
Jones says when he moves up to heavyweight, it's going to be permanent.
It takes a lot of time to put on muscle mass to go from 205 to 230 pounds or more, so his comments make sense. Jumping to 230 pounds to compete against Velasquez wouldn't be too difficult, but it would be tough to then move back down to light heavyweight.
"I think that's going to happen within the next two years. I'll go up to heavyweight, permanently," Jones said. "I've been really thinking about me and Cain Velasquez going at it. Don't be surprised if you see that sooner or later.
"Right now, I'm preparing to go into probably the toughest schedule I've had. Any of the next three guys, they're monsters. That's what I'm preparing for, just getting through Glover, Gus again, and D.C. That's my schedule for now."

After being routed at the polls for two consecutive election cycles, Republicans are turning introspective, asking how the party fell out of favor so suddenly and how to correct course. That introspection includes the inevitable catharsis that exacerbates tensions within the existing right-center political coalition. Conservatives say moderates were too squishy, especially on spending matters. [...]

Jenny Haglund
March 9, 2013
MESA, Ariz. (SMU) - Jenny Haglund leads the Clover Cup at six-under after two rounds. SMU is in second behind leader No.3 Oklahoma heading into the final round.
Haglund shot a five-under 67 in the second round to jump to the top of the leaderboard. Highlighting her round was an eagle on the 15th hole. Haglund nailed a perfect drive down the fairway, then used her three wood to knock the ball within four feet of the cup. The freshman then drained the eagle putt.
Melanie White also shot a 67 in the second round, moving her from 31st position to a tie for fifth after Saturday.
"They both had beautiful rounds of golf," Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. "It was fun to watch."
SMU struggled in the first round but rebounded in the second to move to second place.
"I felt we played as bad as we could in the first and really well in the second," Sutherland said. "We played with a lot of confidence in the second round."
Oklahoma had two strong rounds on Saturday and leads the Mustangs by 13 strokes. The Mustangs are five strokes ahead of Northwestern in third place.
Live scoring for the final round on Sunday is available here.

The purpose for the society was to enhance diversity within the College of Medicine and connect with the Greater Charleston, SC community through service. The society was recently renamed the McClennan-Banks Residents and Fellows Networking Group to include under-represented in medicine fellows, networking opportunities with community physicians, and community service projects. The group also serves as mentors to College of Medicine under-represented in medicine students.
Organizational Objectives:
- Provide an opportunity for campus and community based networking.
- Provide mentorship of under-represented students, residents and fellows
- Develop residents' teaching skills
- Increase minority resident recruitment to the Medical University of South Carolina
- Cultivate interest in academic medicine
- Engage in community service
Resident Ambassadors
Several under-represented in medicine residents have volunteered to serve as Resident Ambassadors for the College of Medicine. These resident physicians are available to answer questions of potential resident applicants and to share their experiences at MUSC. Interested individuals may contact them by email.

Best of 2008: The Most Popular Tech Articles and How-Tos Published by OTN This Year
By oracletechnet on Dec 15, 2008
This is one of my favorite holiday traditions: offering a list of the most popular technical articles and how-tos published by OTN in 2008. (Note: this list contains 2008-datestamped content only.)
You will note that in every case -- and this is nothing new or exceptional -- that the authors involved are end-users, not employees.
1. "Oracle Database 11g: The Top New Features for DBAs and Developers", by Arup Nanda (Oracle ACE Director - Database)
No surprise here; Arup, as is his custom with Oracle Database releases, provided a series of technical how-tos in 2008 focusing specifically on his favorite new Oracle Database 11g features for DBAs as well as developers. The real value of this series lies with Arup's emphasis on simple, actionable examples that get users up to speed on new features very quickly.
2. "Filtering and Grouping: A Comparison of SQL, Linux Scripting, and Ruby", by Casimir Saternos
This one was a surprise. In this rather nuanced article, Cas describes some common data management concepts across SQL, Linux, and Ruby, in order to help DBA/admins understand and apply set-oriented concepts to their daily tasks - providing "a repertoire of basic algorithms" for such tasks. A good one for old dogs who want to learn new tricks.
3. "Guide to Linux Find Command Mastery", by Sheryl Calish
Educating newbies about the Linux OS has been one of our staples for several years now, and Sheryl has been a big part of that effort - her "Linux Command Mastery" articles are consistently popular. The find command installment was her principal contribution to that cause this year, and you'll see more such content next year.
4. "Build a .NET Application on the Oracle Database with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008", by John Paul Cook
There will always, always be members of the .NET dev community who look to OTN for guidance about using the Oracle Database platform. You can't get more instrumental to addressing that need than John does in this case.
5. "Basic Java Persistence API Best Practices", by Dustin Marx
It is only natural that Oracle would play a large, influential role in the engineering of industry standards for achieving data persistence in Java apps (eg via the Java Persistence API), and it is only natural that visitors to the OTN Website would be interested in basic best practices in that area. Dustin pretty much "writes the book" in that area with this article.
6. "Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus with SOA", by Mark Rittman (Oracle ACE Director - Middleware)
BI content in this Top 10? That says a lot about how important this area is becoming for members of the Oracle technical end-user community.
7. "Integrating Oracle's Hyperion Essbase with Oracle Business Intelligence", by Mark Rittman (Oracle ACE Director - Middleware)
What, two BI-related items in the Top 10? Again, with Hyperion users coming into the OTN fold, it's not as surprising as it may seem at first blush. In some ways, Essbase is the ultimate "killer app" for the OLTP database.
8. "Build Your Own Oracle Extended RAC Cluster on Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Linux", by Jakub Wartak
Virtualization crossed the chasm in 2008, with the introduction of Oracle VM playing no small part in that jump. Although this extremely detailed guide -- provided by a then-CS student in Poland (now a junior DBA) -- is fairly specific to a certain use case (evaluation of Extended RAC architecture), it contains loads of configuration information for anyone interested in virtualizing an Oracle RAC cluster for educational or eval purposes.
9. "Build a Google Talk Client Using Oracle ADF Faces Rich Client and the Active Data Service", by Lucas Jellema (Oracle ACE Director - Middleware)
Oracle ADF Faces Rich Client, although introduced late in the year (just in the last couple of months, in the Oracle JDeveloper 11g production release), will be a very popular subject in 2009 as people get their hands on the technology (as well as see it in action). Lucas, always the early adopter, found time to play with what was at the time of writing a technology preview of these powerful rich enterprise application (REA) components.
10. "Invoice Processing in a Service-Oriented Environment", by Ronald van Luttikhuizen (Oracle ACE - Middleware)
Amidst the hype and theory that is so common in the SOA area, there is more than plenty of room for real-world use cases. This article, in which Ronald documents a process integration scenario implemented via Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (now Oracle Service Bus), provides such a use case.
Many, many thanks to all these authors - steadfast members of the OTN community, all.
If you have any favorites not included in this list, sound off in comments. The rest of us want to hear about them, amigos.

Crouching Cow, Hidden Disease
And now, The Associated Press is reporting that a cow imported into the U.S. in 2002 was part of the same Canadian herd diagnosed with mad cow disease back in February. Take a look:
Older animals carry a higher risk of mad cow disease, which is known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE.How does "negligible risk" sit with you?
"If it was showing any signs, it would not have been able to go to slaughter," Karen Eggert, a spokeswoman for the Animal and Plant Inspection Service said, noting that it was observed by Agriculture Department inspectors.
Meat from the animal probably entered the food supply, Eggert said, but is at "negligible" risk of having posed a threat to animal or human health.

Editor's Note: In the video, Michael Douglass refers to a quote from Mylan's president. The quote is actually from the president of Mylan's North American operations, Anthony Mauro. The Fool regrets the error.
"The unintended consequences of this rule would be nothing short of catastrophic."
That was the response from Ralph Neas, president of the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, or GPhA, to a recently-proposed FDA rule to require generic drug makers to update product safety information when they become aware of new potential safety issues.
GPhA fears that potential liability lawsuits would force generic pharmaceutical companies like Teva (NYSE:TEVA), Novartis (NYSE:NVS), Actavis (NYSE:AGN), Mylan (NASDAQ:MYL), and Abbott (NYSE:ABT) to raise prices for their drugs to remain profitable. Generic drugs, after all, are notably lower-margin than branded pharmaceuticals. The same press release from the quote above predicted that the rule change would cost Medicare and other government programs $1.5 billion annually and private insurers and patients $2.5 billion annually.
How worried should generic drug makers, and their investors, be about this potential rule change if it comes to pass? And what are the implications for patients? Motley Fool health care analysts David Williamson and Michael Douglass answer in the video below.

Lafayette's Mark Ross

Patriot League Football Release - Week 9
CENTER VALLEY, Pa.- Lafayette, Colgate and No. 6/8 Lehigh are all tied at 2-0 in the Patriot League, but on Saturday the Leopards and Raiders have a chance to take a half-game edge on the idle Mountain Hawks.
Lafayette welcomes Georgetown in the evening in a game that will be shown on RCN-4, RCN-8 and WBPH-60, while Colgate heads to Bucknell in the afternoon. Also, Fordham goes to Holy Cross in a game that will not count towards the Patriot League standings and will be televised on Charter TV3.
The Leopards, Raiders and Mountain Hawks all separated further from the rest of the group with wins at home on Saturday. Lafayette had a stellar defensive effort in a 30-13 win over Holy Cross, Colgate exploded on offense once again in a 57-36 win over Georgetown and Lehigh used early special teams plays and late offense to pull out a 42-19 victory against Bucknell.
Lehigh heads into its bye week as one of only two undefeated teams left in the FCS, along with Cal Poly. The Mountain Hawks are also now ranked No. 1 in the ECAC FCS Lambert poll in addition to being in the top 10 in both national FCS rankings. Lehigh's eight-game overall and 17-game regular-season win streaks are both the top active marks in the FCS.

Patriot League Notebook
Lehigh, Colgate and Lafayette separated further from the Patriot League pack by winning at home on Saturday. Of course, a race between those three teams is nothing new. The trio has combined for 22 Patriot League titles, and at least one of the three has claimed an outright or shared title in 17 of the past 20 seasons. Lehigh has won 17 straight Patriot League games, while Colgate and Lafayette are each 2-0 in League action for the first time since 2009.
Lehigh is now one of only two undefeated teams in the country, as only No. 11 Cal Poly can match the Mountain Hawks with an unblemished mark this season. Both teams are tied with eight-game overall win streaks, while Lehigh's 17-game regular-season win streak is nine longer than the Mustangs for the top mark in the nation. The Mountain Hawks moved up one spot to No. 6 in the FCS Coaches Poll and No. 8 in The Sports Network top 25, and took over the top spot in the ECAC FCS Lambert Meadowlands Poll. Lehigh's run of 26 consecutive weeks in the FCS rankings is the seventh-longest streak in the nation.
If Lehigh can complete an undefeated season, it would also end up with the longest-ever win streak against Patriot League opponents. Lehigh's 17-game win streak against Patriot League teams, which dates back to 2009, is the second-longest in League history and only two off the all-time record set by Holy Cross from 1988-92. The Mountain Hawks have beaten Fordham four times and knocked off Lafayette, Bucknell and Georgetown three times during the streak.
COLGATE'S "Mc-ATTACK" LEADING TO OFFENSIVE OUTBURSTS
Colgate's Gavin McCarney and Jordan McCord continue to take out opposing defenses at an extraordinary pace. The Raiders have scored 155 points in the last three weeks after beating Georgetown 57-36 on Saturday, their second straight 50-point effort to open Patriot League play. McCarney earned Patriot League and Sports Network FCS weekly honors for totaling 510 yards and five touchdowns, while McCord pushed his season-opening string of 100-yard rushing games to seven. McCarney is in the top five nationally in scoring, points responsible for and passing efficency, while McCord ranks fourth in the nation in rushing. They are leading a Colgate team that is now in the top 10 in the FCS in total, scoring and rushing offense.
McCABE SETS GEORGETOWN TACKLE RECORD AS STRONG SENIOR SEASON CONTINUES
Georgetown's Robert McCabe matched a career high with 17 tackles on Saturday, and in the process the Buck Buchanan Award candidate set a school record with 364 career tackles. He is only six away from becoming the first player this century to crack the Patriot League career top 10. McCabe leads the FCS with 116 tackles this season, 21 more than any other player.
Two more seniors join McCabe at the top of the FCS statistics. His teammate, Jeremy Moore, tops the FCS with five interceptions while Fordham's Patrick Murray leads the nation with 15 field goals while also ranking third with a 46.33 punting average. On the team side, Lafayette ranks first in the country with 17 interceptions, and is third with a 1.57 turnover margin.
A group of Patriot League wide receivers had strong performances on Saturday...Georgetown's Kevin Macari notched eight receptions for 181 yards and three touchdowns against Colgate, the top receiving yardage mark for a Hoya since 2003...Lafayette's Mark Ross had 12 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown, becoming the first Leopard since 2001-02 with four consecutive 100-yard receiving games...He is also in the top 20 nationally in both receiving yards and receptions per game for the season...Lehigh's Lee Kurfis stepped up with eight catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns against Bucknell as the Mountain Hawks played without three top pass-catchers, including All-American Ryan Spadola...Colgate's matchup at Bucknell will be a case of strength against strength...The Raiders stand eighth in rushing offense, while the Bison are fifth in the nation in rushing defense...Lafayette has already exceeded last year's win total with its 5-2 start, and is one win away from equaling its combined total from the 2010 and 2011 seasons...Lehigh is in the top five in the country in both sacks per game (3.38) and sacks allowed per contest (0.63)...Lehigh's Mike Colvin is ninth and Colgate's Gavin McCarney is 12th in the nation in total offense per game, while Colvin is also 14th in the nation in passing yardage per contest...Colgate's Jordan McCord is fourth and Fordham's Carlton Koonce ninth in the nation in rushing yardage per game...McCord has rushed for at least 100 yards in all seven games for the Raiders.

The Wall Street Journal has a story headlined, "Very Bright Lipstick, All the Time." In it, Elizabeth Holmes writes:
"In the beauty world's eternal cycle between eyes and lips, it's lipstick's moment. Many women are adopting a signature standout lipstick color—bright red, rich coral, vivid pink—to wear day or night with everything in their closet."
It's b-a-a-a-a-ck! No surprise. This is what I wrote in a post in 2009:
"The makeup at Zang's show reminded me to bitch about how red lipstick is, once again, the 'in' look. One of the glossy magazines even had a page on red lipstick 'for all ages,' which must have made How Not to Look Old author Charla Krupp weep youthful-looking tears. The periodic revival of red makes me feel like the broken clock that's right twice a day, except I'm only right twice a decade or so. I keep doing my red lips year in and year out — for about 20 years now — and most of the time various fashion gurus are telling me that it's aging and terrible and I need to switch to pink/nude lips. But then, suddenly, and usually for a very short period of time, red lipstick is fresh and chic."
I clearly have no future as a beauty writer. I lack the requisite enthusiasm for what Elizabeth Holmes aptly terms "the eternal cycle," at least when it comes to lipstick. It would be hard for me to promote nude lips during red's off years. But most of the time, I am amused by the way fashion repeats itself. Coincidentally, today's New York Times has a story about clothing designer Douglas Ferguson, whose heyday was in the 1970s and 1980s and whose vintage pieces are being sold by my friend Evan at his store Frock. (Tina Turner wore a Ferguson dress on the cover of Vanity Fair in the '80s.) Ruth La Ferla of the Times notes that Ferguson's Art Deco-inspired look has popped up again on the spring runways.
"And now, strangely enough, many of his Art Deco-flavored frocks bear an uncanny resemblance to the shimmering Jazz Age looks that proliferated on the spring runways. Mr. Ferguson, who still designs for private clients, is not that surprised that many of his inspirations have found their match at Gucci, Alberta Ferretti and Ralph Lauren. The shelf life of his dresses was never limited to a particular period or decade, he said.
'They were out of time when I made them and they're out of time now.'"
I love that last sentence. That's my jewelry-design goal. If you put my Empress Wu dragon earrings next to a lot of modern pieces, you'll think the earrings are antique.
However, if you put the earrings next to an actual antique piece, my work is clearly modern. I've always felt that if you can't quite pin down the era a piece belongs to, the jewelry looks timeless. It becomes a forever thing … like red lipstick.
Note: Author Charla Krupp, mentioned in my 2009 post quoted above, died from breast cancer in January. The New York Times said, "She was 58, but looked a perennial 49."

déjà pseu says:
Yes!!! That's what I love so much about my engagement ring; it looks both vintage and modern at the same time! And never lose the red lips. People who are eventually lauded for their "signature style" are exactly the ones who ignore the cycles and are "out of time."
sulky kitten says:
Keep wearing the Red Lips, I can't even imagine you without them!
Poochie says:
The good stuff never goes out of style. Maybe out of fashion or off trend but it's going to be just as good no matter how long it is around.
Helen says:
I love this post. I started wearing red lipstick when I was 19 and haven't looked back since. How fabulous to hear it is 'in fashion'- I never stopped wearing it, nor did anyone else and the shops didn't stop selling it!
lisa says:
I think I'm going to stick to lipstick even during the off-cycle years. Now that I've discovered how much better it looks on me than the smoky eye/nude lip combo of my bar star days, there's no going back.
modanista junkie says:
Amazing doll!! Love the red lipstick on you. 🙂
Have a lovely day!
Pam @over50feeling40 says:
I agree…red lips are as much a signature piece as particular garments become! I've thought in the past that red lips are not me…but maybe it is time to take a courageous step forward!!
I hope your husband has a speedy recovery!!
kirafashion says:
you always look so great Wendy, great red lips!
Silvergirl says:
i think all trends weather, beauty, fashion, food or drink are on a constant "circle of life"
Megan Mae says:
Never gonna give you up! (Sorry my anti-spam word is rickroll)… However never give up the red lip, Wendy! It works for you.
I agree that things that don't look like they come from any time period are often timeless. However, I also think when people can step away from trends and find things that work for them (red lips, styles of glasses, cuts of clothing) and "own" them is just as awesome. I wish I could settle down on some style constants. I'm sticking to my winged eye liner whether or not it's instyle because that's what works for me.
I love winged eyeliner!
stacy says:
When you find something that works for you and it looks great, then why change? and if you're secure with your own style and in your own skin, then why try to change just to be trendy?
my anti-spam is "im a star"
i like that.
You have to comment a lot till you get the Spartacus ones!
Marti says:
I know what you mean for the last 20 years or so my signature lipstick has been a fuschia color although I'm still wearing the pinks I decided to go just a couple of shades lighter, because I chose to. Cannot imagine wearing a sheer nude tone lipcolor I would feel naked.
Nude lips mean you need a big eye and that seems like hard work to me. I did it in my teens but that's when hormones make you spend five hours on your hair etc
melina says:
I love bright lipstick and makeup trends are so last century! people should wear what looks best on them, most brunettes like us look great in bright red lips
T says:
Haha, what a timely post for me. I feel like I look like a hoochie in any color lipstick (although I did rock some Toast of New York and Rum Raisin back in the day … when I actually *was* a hoocie), but just yesterday, I bought some cartoon looking fuschia lipstick. I like it, but wonder if I will ever have the balls to wear it out of the house.
Those beauty editors are nuts. Red is classic, and never goes out of style! Keep on wearing it, I know I will!
Mardel says:
I think you look fabulous in red lips and your look works for well. I admire the look on you, but it is harsh against my more muted coloring. I think finding your own style and owning it is just perfect, but it is annoying when something that I think of as "my" look comes in fashion again.
And that vintage/modern dynamic is exactly what I like about your jewelry. I need to buy more, if I ever get this house settled.
Make Do Style says:
You wear red lipstick so well, it comes and goes with me I'm more fickle!!
And so glad MrB is doing dandy – send him my best xx
I was looking for the perfect purple lipstick for a while — I guess I still am — I still haven't found one that's my fantasy purple though!
Angela says:
I don't think it'll be your fantasy purple, but I did pick up a Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick called Violet Frenzy. First application is kind of sheer, but a second swipe and concentrated purple begins to emerge.
The Style Crone says:
Why change when red lips look so fabulous and radiant. Like one of my favorites, the peplum, it returns in time. But I wear it always!
SiouxsieL says:
Red lipstick looks great on you. By the way, I couldn't tell which photo of you was the older one. Amazing.
I hadn't heard about Charla Krupp. I didn't really follow her, but she seemed to be omnipresent in magazines and the internet. So young. So sad.
drollgirl says:
red lipstick looks perfect on you!
most industries thrive in trends coming and going. the goal is to switch things up so we are constantly buying more and trying to be "in". it is annoying!
Alexis Grace says:
I LOVE the red lipstick and I completely agree that it is a timeless look (just like your jewelry!)
Shybiker says:
The best style is personal: that created by an individual which suits her. Appropriating the choices of others, even tauted designers, is a mere substitute for personal style.
Thus, I applaud your choice to wear bright red lipstick. Its oscillating trendiness shouldn't deter you, nor should the common advice to avoid it as we age. That is just hogwash.
Elizabeth says:
Red lipstick is timeless. I hope you never stop wearing it.

Charlie Parker (alto sax), Miles Davis (trumpet), Lucky Thompson (tenor sax), Dodo Marmarosa (piano), Arvin Garrison (guitar), Vic McMillan (bass), Roy Porter (drums).
Composed by Dizzy Gillespie.
Recorded: Radio Recorders, Hollywood, March 28, 1946
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Charlie Parker's alto break on his Dial recording of "A Night in Tunisia" lasts only seven seconds -- but it may be the most important jazz moment of the decade. The whole bebop revolution is crammed into this break: the off-the-cuff virtuosity, the rhythmic displacements, the defiance of pop music expectations, and, above all, the declaration of bebop as a progressive artistic movement in which such radical gestures possessed their own intrinsic validity. This is shock-and-awe jazz, and it sounds just as breathtaking today as it did back in 1946. The song continues after this extraordinary moment -- indeed, the solos have just started -- but everything now is anticlimactic. Bird has just shown how far ahead he is of everyone else in the studio, including Miles Davis (age 19), who has the unenviable job of following the alto solo. A remarkable performance even by the Everest-high standards set by Parker in his earlier work.

I think you're right Ted. One of the most important jazz moments ever!

I had some big plans for this past weekend. It was in the 70's in Seattle and everyone was out on the lake, gardening, running, biking, and lounging on patios. Our house, on the other hand, came down with the plague. Sam's been struggling with his allergies all week and I caught a rogue flu, so instead of beach picnics and planting herbs, I finally finished An Everlasting Meal, drank honeyed licorice tea, and took many naps. We did, also, drag ourselves to the U-District farmers market and picked up some rhubarb, sorrel, broccolini, and farm eggs. The fridge had become quite bare and it felt really good to have some color around.
Now I'm not sure if we've chatted about this before, but I'm not the best sick person. I don't do well just laying around, always feeling like I should at least be reading something engaging or watching an interesting movie or taking care of a writing project or two. So after waking up far too early on Sunday, my version of laying low was organizing our baking cupboard, getting our whole grain flours in order, putting on a pot of tea, and getting to work slicing rhubarb. While my to-do list was left alone, I did bake these Rhubarb Custard Crisp Bars, and I've been thankful to have them around. Little slices go well with tea. I've learned today they're also quite nice for breakfast. The tart rhubarb is balanced with just enough sugar (they're not at all too sweet), the spelt crust brings out a buttery toastiness, and the nutty oat topping will remind you of every good fruit crisp you've eaten. They'll remind you of late spring and gentle sunshine and of not being cooped up inside.
If you've never worked with spelt flour before, it's pretty wonderful. It's a great entry way into whole-grain baking, so if you often experiment with whole wheat flour and are looking for something new, today's your day. Kim Boyce, author of my very favorite baking book, Good to the Grain, describes spelt flour as having a "slightly tart aroma" yet being "distinctly sweet." It substitutes 1:1 for all-purpose flour or whole-wheat flour for most recipes, so you can feel free to experiment away. For these bars, I used a recipe I've been looking forward to using from Chicken and Egg but made some significant changes, using whole-grain flour, taking down the sugar by half, and adding my crumble topping I like to use on pies and crisps. The result is a sturdier bite of rhubarb crisp, one you can actually hold in your hand and bring to the couch with you, if need be. Although they'd be just as happy, I think, outdoors on a picnic blanket.
Rhubarb Custard Crisp Bars
By all means, use all-purpose or whole-wheat flour here if that's what you prefer or have on hand. And for the crumble topping, feel free to use pecans (or any other nut) instead of walnuts. The crust is simple to make, but if you're more comfortable working with a food processor to blend in the butter and make your crust, that will work just fine, too. Next time I bake these, I'd love to experiment by layering in some fresh sliced strawberries and sprinkling candied ginger on top.
For Crust:
For Filling:
For Crisp Topping:
For the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 11 x 7 inch glass baking pan.
Stir together the spelt flour, brown sugar and salt in a small bowl until combined. Work the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the butter is evenly distributed and the size of small pebbles. The mixture should be dry and crumbly.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is turning a nice golden brown.
For the Filling: While the crust bakes, whisk the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and ground ginger until smooth. Add the dry mixture into the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Add the rhubarb and stir until it's completely coated.
For the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the spelt flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, ground ginger, and chopped walnuts. Stir to combine together. Add the melted butter and mix it into the dry ingredients (I use my hands at this point). The crisp topping should be quite clumpy. If it seems to wet or smooth, feel free to add a bit more flour or oats, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Pour the rhubarb filling over the prepared crust. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top if golden brown. Cool for 30 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve slightly warm. They are best on the day they're made, but if you have leftovers, they keep beautifully covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Burger joints are a common fixture in many American communities. Despite the large number of McDonald's and Burger Kings, there is something that a hometown burger joint offers that their fast food equivalents cannot. The city of Fort Smith is home to The Hamburger Barn, a burger joint so popular that it spawned a clone in the nearby city of Poteau.
For many of Poteau's residents, Warehouse Willy's is the place to go for that freshly made burger. Warehouse Willy's also boasts a cozy atmosphere with its low lighting, antique memorabilia hanging on the walls, and wood furnishings. As cool and kitschy as Warehouse Willy's sounds, the feelings that Warehouse Willy's inspired for this examiner is deja vu. Warehouse Willy's is an exact replica of The Hamburger Barn in Fort Smith.
So does Warehouse Willy's measure up to The Hamburger Barn? No. The food is decent, however nothing to write home about. This examiner had the Cuban sandwich. The pork was flavorful, but the bread was soggy. Many restaurants toast the bread on their sandwiches, yet Warehouse Willy's does not (for those who question why this examiner is harping about soggy bread, the next time that you have a hot sandwich ask the server to leave the bread untoasted, then email this examiner and tell him how it tasted). The wait staff was friendly, but not very attentive. This examiner had to wait at least a good ten minutes before the server came to check on him. The ambiance was enjoyable, but it was not anything that has not been done before. So for those who are looking for a great hamburger joint, come to Fort Smith, they have plenty. For those that don't want to make the drive, then head to Warehouse Willy's.
Warehouse Willy's is located at 300 Dewey Avenue Poteau, OK 74953.

The NBA playoffs had turned ugly for the Oklahoma City Thunder. After the San Antonio Spurs slaughtered the Thunder twice, Oklahoma City had to pray that it had San Antonio right where it wanted, just like in 2012. Of course, with Serge Ibaka seemingly out for the rest of the NBA playoffs, it was a taller order -- at least until Ibaka returned in Game 3 on May 25.
For this one night, rushing Ibaka back into action worked, as the Thunder got on the board in the Western Conference finals with a 106-97 win. For this one night, risking further injury to Ibaka's calf was worth it, as he was 6-of-7 from the floor, racked up 15 points, seven rebounds and four blocks, and made sure Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook didn't have to revive the Thunder alone.
Without Ibaka, the Spurs dominated in the paint at San Antonio and ran over the Thunder's defense. In Oklahoma City, it was a different story, as the Spurs shot only 40 percent and were outrebounded by 52-36. Westbrook's 26 points and Durant's 25 points actually weren't wasted, while Manu Ginobili's 23 points in 23 minutes were.
Now that Ibaka is not out of the NBA playoffs after all, and that he made his presence known in Game 3, memories of Willis Reed and the Thunder's 2-0 comeback in the 2012 conference finals over the Spurs are dancing in Oklahoma City's heads. Of course, this presumes that Ibaka can get double digits and block a few shots every other night for the next week.
The Spurs built up such a cushion in Games 1 and 2, Game 3 wasn't as much of a must win for them. After absorbing the blow from Ibaka and seeing that the Thunder couldn't be swept out after all, Game 4 on May 27 will be the true test of where this series can go. If Oklahoma City takes that one as well, then the ghosts of 2012 -- and how San Antonio's one home loss in Game 5 doomed it -- will be out in full force.
The Spurs have collapsed out of the NBA playoffs in improbable ways these last two years, thanks to the Thunder and Miami Heat. Will Ibaka spark a three-peat, or was this merely a last gasp for Oklahoma City?

Secret "Batman Incorporated" Storyline Leaks
Souce ComicBookResources
Following the piracy of "Batman" #17 in advance of its release date earlier this week, DC Comics has another leak on its hands. A photo of variant covers for "Batman, Incorporated" #8 has surfaced, nearly two weeks prior to the comic's February 27 release date. The photo shows three variant covers homaging Grant Morrison's "Batman: R.I.P.," with Damian Wayne's Robin standing in for his father, the Dark Knight. Additionally, the letters "R.I.P." appear at the bottom, using Robin's "R" icon, revealing a major spoiler for Morrison's upcoming "Batman, Incorporated" arc, which has been kept under tight wraps by DC. Damian's death as the focus of Morrison's newest arc has been a popular theory on Internet message boards, as Damian is nowhere to be found on the covers for May's Batman-related issues, even on the cover of "Batman and Robin" #19.
The photo comes from the Twitter account of retailer Al Mega, who posted an auction on eBay for "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 weeks before its scheduled release date. Mega's Twitter feed indicates he has access to advance copies of DC's books — on February 8, he posted a photo of a number of issues not set to release until February 20 including "Justice League of America" #1, "Justice League" #17, "Green Lantern: New Guardians" #17 and more.
When approached by CBR News about the leak, DC representatives replied, "No comment."
"Batman Incorporated" #8 is far enough from its release date that retailers shouldn't have received copies from Diamond yet. Retailers who opt-in to Diamond's early delivery typically receive issues on the Tuesday before release, which makes how Mega obtained the issues somewhat of a mystery. Timing-wise, the leak syncs with the "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 leak last year, when scans of the issue popped up online 12 days early, exactly the same amount of time before the issue was scheduled for release.
At the time, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso stated the publisher was investigating the matter.
"It's always disappointing when someone decides to spoil a big story by posting it on the torrents," Alonso told CBR. "Piracy affects fans, creators and retailers who look forward to a big comic book to put some cash in their registers — which 'Amazing Spider-Man #700' definitely will do. The fact that physical copies of the issue exist, but are accessible to a select few, is, of course, alarming."

A Romance Is Revealed
Direct from DC Blog-
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoiler alerts ahead!)
Earlier this week, we teased that JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 would reveal the fate of the transformed Superman after being bitten by the Cheetah. Well if you picked up the issue when it hit stores this past Wednesday, you now know exactly what we were talking about!
In JUSTICE LEAGUE #14, the League continues their battle against the Cheetah and Superman, while simultaneously trying to protect the Man of Steel from the wounds inflicted upon him. Deep in the forest, they meet the tribe that the Cheetah was meant to protect. The head of this tribe details the long history of the Cheetah and reveals that the root of the problem is not that the Goddess of the Hunt is evil. Instead, it's the woman possessed by her who is!
After being captured by the tribe, Superman is cured, and Cheetah gets locked away in Belle Reve. But once behind bars, the villainess begins to talk to an unseen source, revealing that her imprisonment was all part of a larger and mysterious plan. Meanwhile, on the Watchtower, the League tells Diana that Barbara Minerva is a lie. She is actually a wanted criminal who continues to switch identities to escape the authorities. Hurt by this news about the woman she once called her best friend, Wonder Woman seeks comfort in the Man of Steel.
Much to the surprise of the local customers, Superman takes Wonder Woman to the Smallville Diner in an attempt to help her regain some incentive to be the superhero that she is. Afterwards, he takes her on a tour of the Kent family farm and the duo share another passionate kiss.
Little do these lovebirds know, someone is watching their every move! It's their teammate, Batman. And judging by the look on his face, he seems less than thrilled about his friends' developing romance. How will the Dark Knight's knowledge of Wonder Woman and Superman's relationship impact it? And more importantly, what will this mean for the Justice League itself? Place your bets in the comments section!
Below, take a look at the final pages of "The Secret of the Cheetah" as Superman and Wonder Woman kiss under the watchful eye of Batman. Setting the stage for next month's epic crossover event with AQUAMAN, "Throne of Atlantis," JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 comes to you from the creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artists Tony S. Daniel, Matt Banning, and Sandu Florea. Pick up the issue, in stores now!

The All-New Batman: The Brave & the Bold Volume 2 – Help Wanted
I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of Batman: The Brave & the Bold Volume 2 – Help Wanted from DC Comics through the Goodreads First Reads program. This volume keeps the action fresh & upbeat by using short vignettes to tell Batman's exploits. Just like the same-titled animated series, Batman shares the spotlight with a number of DC heroes including Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Aquaman, Hawkman, Jonah Hex & Zatanna. The writing keeps very close to the animated series. In fact, it's difficult not to hear the voices of Diedrich Bader, Corey Burton, John DiMaggio, William Katt or Phil Morris as you devour these stories.

Aurora Theatre Massacre Victims Show Solidarity With Batman Garb
James Holmes, the 24 year old alleged Colorado theatre massacre shooter, was charged on Monday with 142 counts, including 12 counts of first-degree murder & 116 counts of attempted murder. The Arapahoe County District Attorney's office charged Holmes with two counts for each victim — one for carrying out the crime "after deliberation" & the second for "malice manifesting extreme indifference to human life." Holmes was greeted in the courtroom by a multitude of images of "The Bat," as many of the victims & victims' families attending the hearing wore Batman t-shirts.
Word came out via Variety that Warner Bros is looking to tone down the violence in the new cartoon series "Beware" (of the Batman).
Enlightened by the events following the Colorado shootings, WB wants to take a closer look at the series. They've asked for a review of the show's content to ensure they are socially considerate after the tragic events that happened during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises.
Now, no one from WB has commented, but you can rest assured meetings and phone calls have taken place.
My Thoughts: It is a show for kids. But remember, when we were kids we knew when Elmer Fudd was trying to shoot Bugs Bunny it was all fun and games. Do not insult children by treating them with kid gloves. The gunman was clearly not in his right mind and needs psychiatric help.
But I do see WB's side in this situation. They are sensitive to this traumatic event & don't want to draw any bad publicity. It's a tough situation that can put WB between a rock and a hard place.

Are the residents of Clark County better off than they were four years ago and minus the $102,228 yearly salary of Clark County Commissioner Marc Boldt? For a supposed Republican representative of the people, I've seen no conservative leadership skills but have observed his consistent following of Democrat Commissioner Steve Stuart.
David Madore is the true conservative in this race who can actually lead our county out of its current devastation. He has been actively leading the fight against the Columbia River Crossing and it's fraudulent information — and with true integrity.

UCLA Volleyball on Twitter | UCLA Volleyball on Facebook
2013 UCLA Women's Volleyball Media Guide
LOS ANGELES - Senior Kelly Reeves recorded her third straight double-double and her team-leading ninth of the year with 12 kills and 15 digs, while sophomore Maddy Klineman surpassed double figures in kills for the fifth straight match with 11, hitting a career-best .529 and adding five digs, as the Bruins swept Oregon State on Friday at the John Wooden Center. Set scores were 25-15, 25-19, 25-23.
Junior Karsta Lowe added 11 kills for the Bruins, who improve to 13-10 overall and 4-9 in Pac-12 play. UCLA hit .314 as a team to win its 43rd straight match when hitting over .300, as junior Megan Moenoa captained the offensive attack with 37 assists, five digs and two aces.
Senior Mariana Aquino tallied seven kills, while junior Zoë Nightingale posted five kills and no errors in nine attempts (.556) with four blocks. In the backcourt, sophomore Karly Drolson had eight digs, senior Madie Smith notched seven and freshman Jessyka Ngauamo had a career-best six.
The Beavers only lead of the opening set was 1-0, as the Bruins scored the next four on Oregon State service and attack errors and kills from Klineman and Reeves to go ahead 4-1. The Beavers closed to within a pair at 7-5, but UCLA went on a 6-0 run on two Aquino kills, two Moenoa aces, a Lowe kill and a Beaver attack error to go ahead 13-5.
UCLA's lead never dipped below six for the rest of the set. With the Bruins on top 18-11, a 5-0 run on two Reeves kills, two Beaver attack errors and an OSU service error gave the Bruins a set-best advantage of a dozen at 23-11. On the Bruins' second set point, Aquino and Lowe teamed up for a block to wrap up a 25-15 victory. Reeves had five kills to lead the Bruins in the first, while Lowe was 3-for-6 with no hitting errors, as the Bruins won the hitting battle .375 to .103.
The Bruins led wire-to-wire in set two. Equal at 2-all, a 6-0 UCLA run on two Reeves kills, two Oregon State errors and kills from Lowe and Klineman made it 8-2. The Bruins' lead never dipped below two for the rest of the set, but was never any higher than seven at 20-13.
Leading 15-12, a 5-1 Bruin run on kills by Nightingale, Aquino and Reeves and two Oregon State attack errors made it 20-13. Oregon State made things interesting thanks to a 5-0 run, but UCLA closed out the set with a 5-1 run to win it 25-19. Kills by Reeves, Lowe and Klineman, as well as two OSU attack errors, including one on the Bruins' first set point, wrapped up the second set win. Reeves again led the Bruins in kills with four, adding five digs. Klineman was 3-for-5 with no errors, while Aquino and Lowe also added three kills apiece. The Bruins out-hit the Beavers .286 to .094.
Just like the opening set, the Beavers had a 1-0 lead, but two in a row and six of seven for the Bruins put them up for good. Klineman had three kills during the 6-1 run, Lowe added a kill, Smith served an ace and the Beavers committed a service error. Oregon State charged back with four in a row to tie things up at six, but a 6-2 UCLA run put the home squad back up by four. Nightingale and Reeves each had a pair of kills, Ngauamo served an ace and Lowe added a kill to make it 12-8. Four would be the Bruins' largest lead of the third.
With the score 22-19, the Beavers scored three straight to even things at 22, but the visitors were unable to re-take the lead. An OSU service error out of a UCLA timeout and a bad Beaver set gave the Bruins a pair of match points. On attempt number two, a Lowe kill, her fifth of the set, closed out a 25-23 win. Klineman paced UCLA with six kills in the third, while Reeves added three with seven digs. The Bruins won the hitting battle .289 to .273.
The Bruins host Oregon on Sunday at Pauley Pavilion at 1 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on Pac-12 Networks.

Yup. Him again.
Over the weekend, Jim Garrow, who has already accused President Obama, multiple times, of plotting to exterminate the entire U.S. population with nuclear bombs, insisted via his Facebook page that that President Obama blew up the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
Garrow insists that the plane's direction "would take it to the US base at Diego Garcia," where he insists "20 technology nerds aboard who happen to work for China" will be unloaded and interrogated while the plane is detonated so the wreckage can be found as if its disappearance had just been due to human error on the part of the search crews.
America/Obama gets the information that they want, who cares if a bunch of innocent people have to die (Obama -"I am pretty good at killing people.") and more lies per minute have to fly to cover this huge piece of cow manure over.
Welcome to the world of the marxist muslim amateur Obama and his new found friends, the Chinese. Yes, I did say friends. After all he just gave control of the internet to "the world" and just by happenstance his brother Mark, whose partnership with the intelligence community of China I let the world know about in an earlier missive. Betrayal and treason are the mainstays of this America hating fraud in the Oval office. Hows that jihad coming along Barry?
Given that Jim Garrow's hatred for all things democratic is so great that, again, he routinely accuses Obama of wanting to exterminate the entire population, this is hardly surprising and only suffices as a footnote on the already long list of indications that Garrow is either a fraud or psychotic.
So great is his hatred that it kept him from noticing the flaw of accusing China of helping Obama steal technology from China.
Even after accusing Obama of plotting to murder three hundred million people for no reason whatsoever, Garrow's childish hatred of Obama still has not been satisfied.
