Happy as They Are
They're Not Tiny, but Neither Are Their Talents. Now Confidently Curvy Female Stars Show That Success Can Happen at Any Size
Don't despair, Delta. These days big girls don't cry—they get even. Sure, most power brokers in today's Hollywood still demand that actresses look more like Heather Locklear (pre-pregnancy, a size 2) than Marilyn Monroe (size 16), but being big—or even plain old average-size (5'4" and 144 lbs. for American women)—has become big business. Oprah Winfrey (down from size 24 to size 8) and Rosie O'Donnell (size 18) rule daytime TV Plus-size actresses Yvette Freeman (ER) and Kathy Kinney (The Drew Carey Show) are in their prime time. And pound for pound, singers Wynonna Judd and Carnie Wilson have shown they have more staying power than all the Spice Girls combined. In fact, in every venue from films to fashion, stick-thin standards are waifing bye-bye.
"People like Roseanne and Delta and Oprah have opened the door for people who aren't the average size 2 or 4 that exists in Hollywood," says size-16 actress Debra Christofferson, last season's Sipowicz-smitten receptionist on NYPD Blue. "I told my agent when I first moved here, 'I do not play fat-girl parts.' " Drew Carey's Kinney says one sure sign of progress is that her weight—or that of the hefty Carey himself—is not mentioned in the scripts. "Fat jokes, whatever—we don't go there," she says. That kind of healthy attitude is making a difference, says Wynonna, 33: "I represent a lot of women who will never be a size 8, and that's okay. You have to remember there are some things in life more important than fabulous thighs."
Just ask model Emme, a Botticelli-proportioned Christie Brinkley who once had a photographer tell her that working with her size 14-16 body would be "a discredit to his career." She now commands $5,000 a day as the world's top plus-size mannequin. And the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, who admits she was "totally and utterly humiliated" when tabloids dubbed her the Duchess of Pork in 1988, earns seven figures as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers.
Such success stories clearly play to the female population, 40 to 50 percent of whom are size 14 and up—and not necessarily enamored of Pamela Lee's proportions. "We're all getting tired of the Barbie dolls paraded before us," says medical writer Laura Fraser, author of Losing It: America's Obsession with Weight and the Industry That Feeds on It. Prosecutor-turned-TV commentator Star Jones, 35, cohost of ABC's daytime talk show The View, says at least half of her fan mail is from people happy to see someone her size on TV. "People look at me as empowering because I feel so good about myself," she says. And O'Donnell got numerous letters of support after guest Donny Osmond facetiously pondered on-air in June 1996 whether a stunt helicopter could carry someone of her heft. "I don't believe it was necessarily malicious," she later told Radiance magazine. "It was just stupid of him."
Even daytime soaps, among the most fat-free programming, have started to get the message. On NBC's Another World, Emmy-winning actress Judi Evans Luciano (size 10-12) allowed writers to include in the storyline her real-life battle trying to lose the 70 pounds she gained during her pregnancy last year. Prime time has made strides too: Among regular cast members of the Nielsen Top 20 a decade ago, there were only four fuller-figured actors; last season there were twice that number. Notes ER's Freeman: "The best shows aren't fantasy anymore. Look at NYPD Blue, Chicago Hope and Law and Order. Those shows have nice-looking people, but they're not gods and goddesses."
Of course, voluptuousness and va-voom are not mutually exclusive. Mode, the first high-end fashion magazine targeting women size 12 and up, features Vogue-quality photography in its articles and fashion spreads. Launched as a quarterly in February with a circulation of 250,000, it was so well-received (circulation is now 360,000) that in '98 it will go monthly, a year ahead of schedule. And designers like Ellen Tracy, Ungaro, Anne Klein and Eileen Fisher have adapted their lines for large sizes. (Burke's own line of size 14-26W clothes, which debuted in 1995, is available at department stores.) Over 25 percent of women's fashion dollars are spent on sizes 16 and up. Not that there is a full range of choices yet. Amy Spindler, fashion critic for The New York Times, says that historically designers made few concessions to the way most women are proportioned. "Their attitudes have been, 'Why don't they get thinner and then they can wear my clothes.' " With big-name designers like Calvin Klein and Donna Karan refusing to adapt their clothes for plus-sizes, a frustrated O'Donnell ("It's hard to get an Armani in size 18," she joked at this year's Tony Awards) enlists designer Dale Richards to make her chic tailored suits. "Many designers don't carry large sizes because it brings them down a notch in society," says Emme. "They consider large-sized people as damaged, as not normal."
Indeed, with the $30 billion weight-loss industry showing no signs of a slowdown, the slur that heavier people could slim down if they had willpower is still widely believed (some doctors, however, agree that a person is more or less prone to a certain weight range). Back when she hosted her own talk show in 1995-96, Carnie Wilson, 29 and a size 20-22, recalls, "There would be a letter once in a while that would say, 'You're getting big. Is everything okay?' Come on! I don't sit on the couch and shove Doritos in my mouth, honey!" On the contrary, like their scrawnier counterparts, many larger women work out with relish. Emme walks on her treadmill; Wynonna kick-boxes with her personal trainer. In fact, says Fraser, these women are as fit as—or fitter than—anybody else. "Being 20 or 40 pounds heavier than what most actresses and models weigh," she says, "is not only normal but healthy."
That is not to say there aren't health risks connected with being overweight. "There is no doubt that obesity is linked to disease, such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers, and even death," says Dr. Barbara Moore, president of Shape Up America!, the awareness campaign I founded by former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop. "The real culprit," she says, "is not weight but increased body fat. Just as there's an epidemic of obesity in America, there is also an epidemic of inactivity. And, believe me, they are supportive of each other."
It's an issue Jones, for one, takes to heart. She now eats a lower fat diet and walks regularly. "High blood pressure runs in my family," she says. "But I'm not on this mad diet. I'm trying to add years to my life."
Fitness is also the goal for Winfrey, who, at her heaviest, weighed in at 237 pounds. In her new video Make the Connection (due out Sept. 30), based on the book she coauthored in 1996 with personal trainer Bob Greene, she recalls how, unbeknownst to her, clothing stylist Andre Walker would buy two suits and have a seamstress put them together to make one that fit Winfrey. The low point of her quest, though, was the '92 Daytime Emmys. Going onstage to collect her award, "I did not want to get out of the chair," she says. "I thought my skirt was too short and thought, 'Oh, God, now they're gonna shoot my behind.' I felt like I [was] out of control of what I put into my body." With regular exercise and a healthy diet, Winfrey has stayed trim, but she says, "I don't believe that it's for everybody to be a size 8 or even a 12. I think you need to be where you physically feel the best for you."
Hollywood has gotten smarter too, but it still has a way to go. Wynonna says her svelter sibling Ashley "was [recently] told by a producer that she needed to lose weight. It's insane." According to E. Duke Vincent, vice chairman of Spelling Television—the force behind Melrose Place and Beverly Hills, 90210—casting larger women as leading ladies is unlikely. "It's a world of fantasy. I do not believe that you or anyone else would watch—unless it were a comedy—a show about a full-bodied Cindy Crawford as a model." That view infuriates NYPD's Christofferson. "Other than Delta, we're not perceived as a romantic lead. Well, I'm sorry. We all know large-sized people who are married and have romances."
Even in prime time. On Fox's Living Single, the voluptuous Queen Latifah and Kim Coles fall in and out of love just like their slimmer costars—without any mention of their weight. "TV people want actresses to be slim because slim, in their minds, equals sexy," says Yvette Lee Bowser, the show's creator and executive producer. "I couldn't disagree more." Comic Louie Anderson, the talent behind Fox's Life with Louie cartoon series, believes the best way to create change is for larger actors to refuse demeaning roles. "I did an episode of Chicago Hope, and my weight wasn't mentioned. That's what drew me to the part. What happens in a career has an awful lot to do with what your image of yourself is."
Wilson, for one, is hoping Hollywood will return to those pre-Twiggy days when full-figured women like Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Jane Russell weren't merely accepted, but worshipped. "I've always pictured me in a movie where there's a gorgeous lead like Tom Cruise or Matthew McConaughey," she says, "and there's this other girl, and she's thin and pretty, but he winds up going with me."

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Ten
Rain and movies go together like ... well, you pick the metaphor. But you don't need bad weather to attend the Milwaukee Film Festival Saturday. Here are reasons to do so.
- "Sign Painters" (4:30 p.m., Oriental Theatre) Documentary directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon that Art City writer Mary Louise Schumacher calls "a dive into the toolboxes and tricks of the sign painters" who "change the urban landscape with their own hands and who defy the kind of washed-out sameness that has crept into American cities."
- "The Angels' Share" (4 p.m., Fox-Bay Cinema Grill) Cannes Festival Jury prize-winning comedy by the usually dour Ken Loach about a troubled youth who discovers he has a nose for quality whisky and hatches a scheme to steal a rare spirit. Watch the trailer below.
- "Spinning Plates" (4 p.m., Oriental) Documentary about a struggling Mexican restaurant, a family-style community landmark and the nouvelle cuisine of Chicago's Alinea whose chef was stricken with a cancer that threatened his senses of taste and smell. What starts out as a foodie film ends up a portrait of struggle, perseverance and triumph. Watch the trailer below.
- "An Evening With Paul Attanasio" (7:30 p.m., Oriental) Paul Attanasio, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show," executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "House, and brother of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, appears at a career retrospective conducted by Jonathan Jackson, the festival's artistic and executive director.

So comfortable
Reviewed: 27 February 2015 by Skitty, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I was bought this as a surprise after going on about my new-found love of sexy nightwear after receiving the Lovehoney Love Me Lace Chemise Set, and this babydoll set does not disappoint.
The lace is gorgeously soft and comfortable, while also being extremely pretty, and the little ribbon bows add that extra bit of delicate femininity to the piece. If possible, the bows are even prettier in person than they are in the photographs of the set.
The beautiful thing about this babydoll is that the keyhole detail at the front between the breasts gives that little bit extra give to that part of the garment, and the slits by the thighs are fantastic for making the hip sizing that little bit more forgiving.
Because of the hip area having more give because of the slits, I find that this item fits me in terms of length a bit better than the Lovehoney chemise. It's a bit easier to keep it in place because of that extra room, and I find that it rides up less and is easier to move around in, although they are both lovely in their own right for different reasons.
The knickers look nice worn underneath the babydoll, and with how the front bows near the thigh slits are positioned it looks like the bows are attached to the underwear, and that's very pretty.
This set makes me feel sexy and feminine, and is a great item to add to my collection of sexy lingerie that I can comfortably sleep in. It's just as pretty in person as it is in the pictures, and absolutely doesn't disappoint in any way.
The thigh slits are a lovely design touch that enable you to have more mobility, and is also really useful for if you want to sleep in this garment as it adds a whole new level of comfort. It's so fantastic to find yet another item that has that perfect mixture of absolute comfort while still looking stunning.
- Pros
- Soft lace, pretty bow details, amazing thigh slit design, comfortable to sleep in.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great bedroom clothing whether you want to sleep or stay up all night.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
March 28, 2012
A group of Saint Vincent College students interested in building a stronger sense of community on campus today launched an initiative they call The One. Working in conjunction with the offices of student affairs and multicultural and international student life, the students are inviting the entire campus to take part in a variety of activities designed to enhance the already strong sense of community. "While Saint Vincent is well known for its community life rooted in its Benedictine values, this initiative will work to rekindle the individual flames of growth, understanding, and respect," student spokespersons Mercedes Guilford and Maria Salvatori said. "Our goal is to create awareness and to discuss issues such as sexual violence, harassment, racism, prejudice and ignorance. We plan to do this by training student leader groups as well as sports team leaders and any department that works directly with the student body." "Since The One strives to bring all of the Saint Vincent community together, it is essential that we include and encourage all parts of the College for support," they continued. "We will begin marketing for this initiative today with a launch party in the Robert S. Carey Student Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring talks, entertainment, displays, food and giveaways." The concept for the campaign was developed by Amanda Jaber and Michael Barkowski last year and was continued by Ms. Guilford, Ms. Salvatori, Deven Gross, Jocelyn Matenje, Karla Romero and Carl Jeune this year. Deanna Wicks and Bob Baum of the office of student affairs and Jeff Mallory of the office of multicultural and international student life are serving as advisors. The Saint Vincent community has been teased with mysterious posters asking, "are you the one?" for weeks but the specific intention was kept a secret until it was unveiled today. Representatives of the Student Government Association, Activities Programming Board, clubs, cheerleaders, pep band, dance team and other organizations which are in touch with students were all involved. A specially-designed t-shirt and bracelet were also unveiled today. "Our plan is to keep people entertained while we are giving them information and motivation," they explained. Looking ahead, they are planning to hold regular monthly events they have dubbed One Day Monday to keep the discussion and effort moving forward. "Success will not come in one day," they admitted. "But, in the long run we would like to see our student body get stronger together, stand up for one another and take care of one another. We want students to be more aware of their actions and how they treat one another." "This effort is about everyone in our community," they concluded. "It's not about leaving anyone out. It's about every single student and caring for each student, accepting the differences and bringing them together. You can accept differences and still be friends and care about them because that is what we are made to do." Ms. Salvatori is a senior business administration major from the South Hills of Pittsburgh. She is also active in Women in Business, Habitat for Humanity, Delta Mu Delta business honor society, Campus Ministry, has participated in the honors program and been named to the dean's list. A 2008 graduate of Seton LaSalle High School, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Salvatori. After she completes her undergraduate studies, she plans to either work in human resources, higher education administration or pursue the study of law. She is a member of Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin R.C. Church in White Hall. Ms. Guilford is a junior middle school education major with a mathematics concentration. A prefect in the Saint Benedict residence hall, she is involved in Women in Business, Colleges Against Cancer, Activities Programming Board, Multicultural Student Coalition, Alpha Phi Omega and varsity lacrosse. A 2009 graduate of Mount Olive High School in Budd Lake, New Jersey, she is also completing work on a book of poetry, Lyrics of Life, which she hopes to have published this summer, and forming a non-profit organization called Moving Forward that will provide supplemental activities for inner city youths. She is the daughter of Demetris Guilford of Newark and plans to become a school superintendent after she completes her degree at Saint Vincent. She is a member of Living Waters Ministries, a non-denomination church. "Saint Vincent College really does include everyone and accept everyone," they concluded. "That is what we like about this school. And that is why The One initiative is so perfect because it embodies everything that the school already is. It is not something we have to start."

Seems to me you're either on drugs, drinking too early in the morning or just a sociopath.
The only one who owes ebay any money is John Osborne z50com/VW, the way he owes his dime bag chugging daughter a life. The towel is whipping his RIPPLES behind the way it did in Jr High.

Philip Ball recently had a fascinating article on an unimaginably large number — 10^122, or 10 multiplied by itself 122 times — that keeps appearing as scientists study the universe.
Is there an underlying code in the universe?
It's impossible for mere mortals to comprehend such a large number, which is larger than a count of every particle in the universe. But it has nonetheless appeared in a number of fundamental ratios.
The number first appeared about a decade ago, when scientists were studying the phenomenon of dark energy, which scientists believe is causing the universe to expand at an accelerating rate. Now according to physicist Scott Funkhouser of The Citadel, the number has popped up five other times:
He lists five other instances in which the ratios between various cosmic quantities turn out to be equal to 10^122, give or take a factor of ten (which matters very little at such huge scales, and could be due to errors in our understanding of the numbers involved).
For example, the ratio of the mass of the observable Universe to that of the smallest possible 'quantum' of mass is about 6×10^121. And the number of ways in which the particles of the current Universe can be arranged throughout space (a measure of entropy) is 2.5×10^122.
This isn't just numerological number juggling. "If you take the basic parameters of the Universe there are only so many ways you can put them together to make 'pure numbers' with no units," Funkhouser says — and less still ones that have any obvious physical interpretation. So the fact that even a handful of these give ratios that are so huge and yet so similar seems significant. "It is unlikely for chance alone to be responsible for generating so many pure numbers from just several fundamental parameters," says Funkhouser.
So what's really going on here?
Despite what the article says, it really could be simple numerology, which strikes me as the most obvious explanation. But this also could be telling us something about the underlying principles of the universe. Heck, according to the fellows at The Speculist, it could even be an inkling of the source code of the computer program in which "the universe" was written.

Jay Cutler's Offense, "Not Going To Happen"
Cutler says don't expect Bears' offense to match D
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) ? The idea that the Chicago Bears' offense will match their jaw-dropping defense this season just might be a little far-fetched.
Jay Cutler says it's "not going to happen." The quarterback says the offense is "eight, nine years behind those guys" because the Bears have been running the same defense "a long time."
For all the hype coming into the season, the offense remains a work in progress. That hasn't stopped the Bears (7-1, No. 3 In AP Pro32) from grabbing the NFC North lead heading into Sunday's showdown with AFC South leader Houston.
It just hasn't happened quite the way they envisioned.
While the defense continues to dominate, an offense that many thought had the potential to be explosive isn't quite living up to the hype.

A new "single stream" pilot recycling program will take effect March 1 in Green Brook and March 7 in South Bound Brook. These changes are being made in the Somerset County recycling program to increase the amount of material recycled and make it easier for residents to fully participate in the program.
"Recycling programs have a significant effect on reducing the volume of waste going to landfills and preserving our natural resources," said Freeholder Robert Zaborowski, recycling and solid waste management liaison. "With this pilot program, we are looking to increase our residents' participation rate, which in turn will increase recycling tonnage, which enables us to bring grant money back into our county to enhance our recycling program."
The new single-container approach is an effort to address the county's declining recycling rate. The collections will be performed by automated vehicles, which employ state-of-the-art equipment using a single mechanical arm to lift and empty the recycling containers into the collection vehicle.
Residents of South Bound Brook and Green Brook will receive a new blue, 96-gallon, wheeled recycling cart for the collection of both paper and commingled materials. In order to increase the recycling rate, residents must cooperate by recycling all designated materials curbside. Curbside recycling provides the most convenient means for households to recycle a variety of materials. The carts must be placed curbside the night before your collection day with the wheels facing the curb or the house. In addition, do not place the cart within five feet of any obstructions such as mailboxes, trees or cars.
"Single stream" means that paper items can be mixed with commingled bottles and cans in the same container. Materials will be placed in the same truck and taken to a special recycling plant where items will be sorted for recycling. Newspapers and cardboard boxes do not have to be tied. All materials need to be placed inside the cart; materials outside the cart will not be collected.
Always recycle your valuable materials such as glass bottles, aluminum and metal cans, plastic bottles marked #1 through #7, and plastic containers, including peanut butter, yogurt and diaper-wipe containers, margarine tubs and clear-plastic clamshell containers from salad bars. Corrugated cardboard, chipboard, newspapers, junk mail and magazines also must be recycled.
Do not include plastics that do not have a recycling symbol. For instance, plastic bags, Styrofoam®, toys, garbage cans and flower pots are not considered recyclables. Also, it is very important that all jars, bottles and plastic containers are thoroughly cleaned and rinsed to prevent contamination. Contaminated items will be considered trash and eventually will make their way back to the landfill.
There will be several new materials collected curbside in only South Bound Brook and Green Brook. These will include rinsed-out paper milk and juice cartons, clean aluminum foil and empty aerosol cans.
Collection schedules will remain the same for South Bound Brook and Green Brook. For recycling pickup dates, visit co.somerset.nj.us/recycle/recyclescedule.html.
"Somerset County wants to thank residents and businesses who have recognized the benefits of recycling," Freeholder Zaborowski said. "Their daily recycling habit has saved natural resources, energy, landfill space and money while also reducing pollution and stimulating job growth. The changes to the program are expected to increase recycling volumes in the coming years."
For more information, contact the county Recycling Division at 732-469-3363.

The Slang of Exotic Dancing Ch. 03byjthserra©
In an effort to create more realistic and vital dialogue in fiction a writer has many tools and devices at his or her disposal. Slang can add color, humor and a distinct realism to dialogue. It can also aid with character development and background.
Throughout history as exotic dancing evolved, a unique and colorful language has emerged from within the industry. Some of this language has even filtered down to the customers. In any work of fiction or non-fiction relating to exotic dancing or striptease the use of the industry related slang in dialogue and description can add dimension to the work.
A complete listing of every bit of slang used in exotic dancing could probably fill its own dictionary, so I will try to highlight a few of the more interesting terms, along with a brief description, history or usage guide. Much of this slang does reflect the age it was used in, so make sure the slang is appropriate for the era in which your story is based. Again, while this listing is by no means comprehensive, any story relating to exotic dancing or the industry can be enhanced by the proper usage of some of these terms.
bit - Routine. Usage: I really like her bit. Translation: I really like her routine.
bottle dance - A dance where the dancer grips a bottle with her vaginal muscles. Some variations exist where the dancer will snatch dollar bills that are placed sticking up out of a bottle with her labia. Usage: He come to the party tonight, we've paid for a bottle dance. Translation: Hey come to the party tonight, we paid for a woman to grip a bottle with her vaginal muscles during her dance.

Grothman will now face the Democratic candidate, Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris, in the November general election. The winner succeeds retiring U.S. Rep. Tom Petri.
Grothman defeated Leibham by 219 votes. Given the thin margin of defeat, Leibham would not have had to pay for a recount.
Leibham issued this statement:
"After a review of the official election results and prayerful consideration with my family, I have decided not to seek a recount in the 6th Congressional District election.
I have contacted Senator Glenn Grothman, informed him of my decision and wished him well.
I also want to publicly recognize Representative Duey Stroebel and Mr. Tom Denow for their willingness to be candidates for this important office.
I am humbled to have been a candidate for the 6th District and I am proud of the positive campaign we conducted. I value the confidence expressed in me by so many voters and truly appreciate the tremendous support offered by so many dedicated volunteers and friends over the past four months.
My team and my family worked extremely hard and for all their efforts and sacrifices, I offer a sincere thank you.
I entered this race because of my serious concern about the direction in which our country is heading and my frustration with our federal government's inability to address or resolve any of the major issues and challenges that are confronting our country at this time.
America is an unbelievable nation and we deserve better. I am hopeful that we will see some positive changes real soon.
It is a great honor to serve our area in our representational form of government. While my specific duties and responsibilities will change over the next couple of months, I pledge to remain an active and involved citizen, always striving to make our community, state and nation a better place to live, work and enjoy life," Leibhman said.
Grothman issued this statement:
"I want to thank Sen. Leibham for a great campaign. As I said last week, I think all of the candidates in this race ran campaigns to be proud of. We discussed pressing, important issues that our country is facing right now and the need for urgent action in Congress. I am grateful that Sen. Leibham has chosen not to seek a recount in this race and I wish him well in his future endeavors. I look forward to a great campaign over the coming weeks as the official Republican nominee."

|Miskel Spillman
September 8, 1897
|March 30, 1992
(aged 94)
New Orleans, Louisiana
|Television presenter
|Years active
|Lorne Michaels (1977)
Miskel Spillman (September 8, 1897 – March 30, 1992) was the winner of the first and only "Anyone Can Host" contest on NBC's late-night variety series Saturday Night Live, and hosted the December 17, 1977, broadcast of the show.
Role in SNL history[edit]
An 80-year-old German immigrant and grandmother from New Orleans, Spillman held the record as the oldest host in SNL's history (two weeks older than Ruth Gordon when she hosted) for many years, until it was broken on May 8, 2010, by 88-year-old Betty White. Spillman remains the only non-celebrity to host the program.
"Anyone Can Host" contest[edit]
The contest was first mentioned on the October 8, 1977, episode (hosted by Madeline Kahn), with producer Lorne Michaels giving the rules and address; various members of the cast gave the rules and address on the following two shows.
Contest rules[edit]
The contest required entrants to submit a postcard (no letters) with a 25-words-or-less essay to a designated address by November 1, 1977, stating why they would like to host Saturday Night Live. The five people whose essays were deemed the funniest by Michaels and the cast would be flown, all expenses paid, to New York for an appearance.
Michaels stated on the October 8 show that absolutely zero bias would be held against entrants, and only required them to have "talent and a strong belief in [themselves]". He further stated that any applicant who tried to personally hand their essay to Michaels or a cast member would immediately be disqualified.
First appearance[edit]
Spillman appeared with the four other contest finalists, selected out of around 150,000 applicants, on the November 19 broadcast (hosted by Buck Henry); despite the continued stating of zero bias, Garrett Morris expressed disdain that none of the finalists were African-American during the cold open.
In her essay, Spillman wrote that "I need one more cheap thrill, since my doctor told me I only have another 25 years left." Among the other contestants were Richard Kneip, then the incumbent Governor of South Dakota.
As the five contestants were introduced, Spillman introduced herself as "I'm Miskel Spillman; I'm old." This evoked the biggest audience reaction. She then went on to win the subsequent write-in vote.
Saturday Night Live starring Miskel Spillman[edit]
Spillman's appearance as host (the Season 3 Christmas episode, also featuring Buck Henry) began with a joke involving herself and cast member John Belushi sharing a joint, followed by a marijuana-induced obsession with a bowl of fruit (going so far as to swat away Henry's hands whenever he tried to grab the bowl).
As per the norm for SNL hosts, Spillman attended rehearsals and appeared in some sketches. She was also paid the then-usual host's salary of $3,000 (a fact which had been promoted during the contest's duration).
Elvis Costello[edit]
Spillman's episode was further notable for musical guest Elvis Costello's scheduled performance of "Less Than Zero", which he aborted after 30 seconds to play "Radio Radio", a then-unreleased song critical of the broadcast establishment.
Life following SNL experience[edit]
In a 1989 interview with People at the age of 92, Spillman stated that she still watched the show and was a fan of the current cast, "especially that fella in the dress" – referring to Dana Carvey's Church Lady character. Spillman further expressed an interest in hosting again, noting that she still had thirteen years left to live.

[QUOTE=Kiwi-grok;993893] mind you I am not much of a runner.
Who said anything about running? LOL. I did Jeff Galloway's run-walk-run method. But a run for me is more of a painfully slow jog for most people. I only go 4 mph unless I'm sprinting. Add pregnancy and a 7 lb back pack on top of that and I was contentedly chugging along at about 3.5 - 3.7 mph.

Amy Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, have checked into a "retreat" in Essex, England, Fielder-Civil confirmed to BBC Radio One's Newsbeat program.
"The main thing is that me and Amy are getting better," Fielder-Civil said on Winehouse's North London doorstep Thursday. "Don't worry, she's being looked after. We're going back to this retreat. She's determined to get well."
Fielder-Civil, 23, said the couple – who wed in May – were focused on recovery.
"It's not as bad as everyone thinks, but she's fine, she's loved and looked after," he added. The couple were interviewed outside Winehouse's home, where they went after visiting three pubs in Camden, spending 10 minutes in each.
"We only came back to get a guitar," Fielder-Civil said. "But of course in the paper that's interpreted that me and Amy are both so weak we left after three days."
Earlier Thursday, Winehouse's rep refuted that the singer was or is in rehab, but announced the cancellation of all the singer's August commitments.
When Winehouse was asked if reports of drug abuse were true, she said: "I wouldn't say so, no."
The 23-year-old singer, who's been looking noticeably thinner lately, added: "I'm fine, I've put on half a stone [7 pounds] and I'm fine."
Before the couple made their getaway in a waiting car, Fielder-Civil said newspaper reports that Winehouse was addicted to heroin and cocaine were trumped up.
"I wouldn't believe it, no," he said. "I would say there are a few problems there, but certainly not the magnitude that my mum was falsely quoted as saying.
On Aug. 8, Winehouse was admitted to London's University College London Hospital for exhaustion. She was subsequently treated and released.

Issue: 58 FOOD AND DRUG LAW JOURNAL 473-510 (2003).
This article focuses on one of the recurring battlegrounds of the speech issue—industry sponsorship of continuing medical education (CME). The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) guidance on industry-sponsored CME bans speech about off-label uses, and requires that other speech presented at CME settings be truthful, nonmisleading, and fairly balanced. This article provides background on the FDA's regulatory authority over drug promotional activities, including drug approval, misbranding due to lack of adequate directions for use, and labeling and advertising. It also discusses the Washington Legal Foundation cases, which were brought to challenge the CME guidance as an unconstitutional restriction because it bans speech about off-label uses. The article examines the district court's holdings that industry-sponsored CME speech is commercial speech, and that FDA's regulation is unconstitutional because it is considerably more extensive than necessary to further the government's interest in getting new uses on-label. Lastly, the article examines the problem of representational speech, which arises when speech is tied to financial sponsorship. It finds that the guidance factors fail to establish a representative connection between the CME speaker and the pharmaceutical manufacturer such that the pharmaceutical manufacturer may be held responsible for the speaker's speech. Therefore, the CME guidance sweeps into its regulatory scheme not only commercial speech, but also core scientific speech that deserves the highest First Amendment protection.

WR Larry Fitzgerald was also a scratch for this match-up as he turned his ankle in practice on Friday and was unable to put his full weight on it during pre-game workouts. These absences would not provide an excuse for the team as Minnesota was still reeling from the loss of their starting QB, Brad Johnson. The Vikings' replacement, QB Mike McMahon, was familiar with this situation, having been thrust into the starting job after Philadelphia QB Donovan McNabb went down last season when McMahon was the backup there. Many in the Minnesota media questioned the decision, believing that 3rd-string QB J.T O'Sullivan to be the best option to start this one, but with McMahon's experience in head coach Brad Childress' offense, it was a no-brainer that he would start.
Even with the injuries the Redbirds had sustained, it was fairly obvious from the beginning that the Arizona offense would have no problems handling the Minnesota defense. QB Kurt Warner picked up where he left off last week, throwing once again with accuracy and authority. RB Marcel Shipp, starting for the first time this season, was also on his game in this one right from the start. On the first play from scrimmage, Shipp took the handoff on a draw play and ran for 38 yards and into Vikings territory. From there, the drive became the Leonard Pope Show. On a play that looked like the offense was trying to go deep, Warner was forced to check down to the tight end for a short dump pass that Pope turned into a spectacular play that got the Cards inside the Minnesota 10. After receiving the pass, he turned head-on into LB E.J. Henderson, quickly knocking him to the ground, then 15 yards downfield, applied the same brute force to SS Tank Williams with the same result. He was finally brought down by three Vikings defenders at the 7. On the very next play, Warner again found the powerful tight end in the corner of the endzone for the opening-drive TD.
On the ensuing kickoff, KR Mewelde Moore looked the part of a Tulane product, fumbling the ball away after being leveled by LB Brandon Johnson, who also made the recovery at the Minnesota 33. This time, the Cardinals leaned on Shipp, who took 4 consecutive handoffs to bring the offense down to the 11. With WR Anquan Boldin mired in a tight double-team due to Fitzgerald's absence, Warner found WR Bryant Johnson wide open in the endzone for the second Redbird TD, making it a quick 14-0 start.
Minnesota's offense was anemic at best throughout the first half and did not mount a serious drive until they were began their 2-minute gameplan. It began on their own 28 and behind some solid throwing by McMahon, moved inside the Arizona 20. As was the case all day, though, that success was short-lived. Linebackers Karlos Dansby and Gerald Hayes converged behind the line to lay a vicious blow on RB Chester Taylor, who lost the handle and fumbled the ball away as DT Darnell Dockett picked up the gift. The teams headed into halftime with the score 17-0 Arizona and would remain that way until the 4th.
After an uneventful 3rd period in which the Vikings could not get their offense into gear and the Cardinal offense that was seemingly dedicated to running the ball and the clock, the 4th started off with a bang. Predictably, Leonard Pope was again the man making the splash. With Minnesota in a blitz-formation, Warner called for Pope to run a hot route in which he simply turned around when the ball was snapped. As expected, the Vikings brought the house and Warner waited until the last moment to dump the ball off to Pope, taking a hard shot from CB Antoine Winfield as he did. At that point, the big tight end just turned and ran to paydirt, shedding linebackers Chad Greenway and Napoleon Harris on his way. Pope would finish with 8 catches for 112 yards and 2 TD, while Warner had another fine performance on 22-33 passing for 289 yards. Shipp added 113 yards on 26 carries.
The Minnesota offense never really got anything going and would not score until midway through the final period. Even that was a disappointment. After mounting a 57-yard drive, McMahon found WR Koren Robinson open in the endzone on blown coverage for an apparent TD, however that was negated by OL Artis Hicks' holding penalty. They would have to settle for a FG and would not cross midfield for the duration of the ball game.
Cardinals win 27-3.
On Tap:
The Redbirds begin their second round of divisional play on the road at St. Louis and hope to have the services of James and Fitzgerald. With both teams at 7-4 and in second-place in the division, this game is the most crucial the Cardinals have played this season. A win would essentially give them a two-game lead on the Rams, having won the earlier meeting this year. A loss would mean a tougher path into the playoffs, but for the first time since the 1999 campaign, it appears that the Cardinals will control their own post-season destiny.

The usual way to debug things is using "ssh -v ...", add more -v for
more detail. The same goes for the server side.
If that doesn't help start from the beginning, telnet to port 22, does
it answer? if not then you may have a firewall, try from the server
About the keys, openssh documents how to set the host keys in the
INSTALL file, something like: ssh-keygen -t dsa -f
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""; but the path may be different
(/usr/local/etc) and usually rsa keys are also created. Each user's
keys have to be created also. Some distributions include scripts to do
both operations (something like ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config) but
this varies.

Just using the name in commerce established a common law trademark in the
US. You can register the trademark if you want, some lawyer will charge you
between 1000-2000 or so.
Keep in mind a trademark is a descriptive word or phrase that describes
a product or service. Like "frobozz" brand cola or "foorbar" brand
of soap. "foorbar soap" isn't trademarkable, but "foorbar"
as a *brand* or soap is; that is you'd own a trademar for the
word "foorbar" in whatever the category for soap is (watches,
clocks anf horological instruments are category 8, that's the on;y
one I know).
Now, trademarks are registered (or not, they have to pass
approval from the USPTO) in a specific category of
goods or services in a defined geographical area.
So, you can get a trademark for "protectmycar" or
"protectmycar.com" if you can show it as the source some goods
or a service.
Any questions?

Manchester United's Serbian defender Nemanja Vidic (centre) defends the goal against Arsenal's French striker Olivier Giroud (right) and Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky during their English Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium in London on Tuesday night.
LONDON: Arsenal missed the chance to go top of the Premier League as Liverpool moved to within four points of the summit on Wednesday night ahead of their FA Cup clash with the Gunners.
Arsene Wenger's men were held to a goalless draw at home to champions Manchester United while Liverpool had to twice come from behind before Steven Gerrard's stoppage-time penalty sealed a 3-2 win away at bottom-of-the table Fulham.
The draw did little for United's fading hopes of claiming a Champions League place, with David Moyes's side now 11 points adrift of the top four.
Liverpool, fresh from their stunning 5-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield, found themselves behind in just eight minutes at Craven Cottage when Kolo Toure sliced Kieran Richardson's cross over the head of Reds goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and into the net.
But four minutes before the break, Daniel Sturridge drew Liverpool level.
Gerrard's superb pass over the top of the Fulham defence released his fellow England international and the striker steered the ball past keeper Maarten Stekelenburg as he scored for the eighth successive match.
Fulham went 2-1 in front when Martin Skrtel made a mess of clearing a cross into the box and Richardson scored from just a few yards out. However, Liverpool hit back in the 72nd minute when Philippe Coutinho curled a shot past Stekelenburg with the aid of a deflection off John Heitinga.
And just when Fulham were about to collect a precious point, the fifth minute of injury time saw Sascha Riether bring down Sturridge in the box and Gerrard score from the ensuing penalty.
Tottenham Hotspur, who looked as if they would move to within a point of fourth-placed Liverpool, remained three behind the Merseysiders despite Emmanuel Adebayor scoring twice in a crushing 4-0 win away to Newcastle.
Adebayor put Spurs 1-0 up in the 19th minute at St James' Park after Newcastle keeper Tim Krul pushed Nabil Bentaleb's cross straight into his path.
Adebayor was involved again when Spurs doubled their lead in the 53rd minute, Krul palming the Togo striker's shot to Paulinho, who scored from close range. Krul's night got worse eight minutes from time when he could only parry Andros Townsend's shot from the edge of the area and Adebayor slammed the rebound into the turf and over the keeper to make it 3-0 to Spurs.
And before the final whistle, Nacer Chadli added a fourth goal with a stunning 25-yard strike.
"We've got to keep on the tail of Liverpool," said Spurs manager Tim Sherwood. "They are relentless. I hope they keep on checking over their shoulders and see Spurs are still there."
Elsewhere, Stoke and Swansea shared the points in a 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium after Peter Crouch's early goal for the hosts was cancelled out by Chico Flores's equaliser for the Swans.

Since opening in 1818, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens have been the natural heart of Hobart.
The Royal Tasmania Botanical Gardens spreads over 35 acres of the Queen's Domain in Hobart, the capital of Australia's island state. The gardens hold many thriving indigenous plants, including several that are over a hundred years old. There is a focus within the gardens on the historic trees, conservation collections of rare Tasmanian plants, and exhibits that allow visitors to experience the environment of the Macquarie Island wilderness – an otherwise inaccessible experience.
A large part of the Royal Tasmania Botanical Gardens' mission includes the education of the public about the importance of conserving plants and the environment. This includes the annual TreadLightly Harvest Festival, held 6th April 2014, that celebrates core values of environment and sustainable living whilst encouraging patrons to source local produce.
The gardens hold a number of specialised plant collections, all with carefully curated plants and award winning landscaping designs. The Japanese and Chinese Gardens follow traditional gardening practices to embody the culture they are portraying. Other specialised gardens include the Lily Pond, Veggie Patch, Herb Garden, heritage Historic Walls garden and Cactus House. The main attraction of the gardens however are the specialised gardens that focus on plants from various environments around Tasmania.
The Greater Hobart Collection showcases the surrounding bushland, and is a favourite amongst visiting school groups. The Tasmanian East Coast collection focuses on the wide range of plant habitats found in the wooded forests of the east coast. A Tasmanian Fernery displays Tasmania's stunning range of native ferns. The most popular exhibit however is the Subantarctic Plant House.
A specially constructed building sits within the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens grounds to mimic the environment on the subantarctic Macquarie Island. The experience is made eerily realistic in the climate controlled atmosphere by the immersive audio soundscape that lets visitors hear the wildlife of the island – Elephant Seals, fur seals, multiple species of penguins, and the cries of albatross and skuas.
The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Garden is open from 9-5 daily, with extended hours during the warmer months. A restaurant and shop on site provide refreshments and souvenirs.

Santee Cooper is wading back into the debt market to finish a job it started last month.
The state-owned utility's board of directors is holding a special meeting by phone today to vote on issuing roughly $400 million in bonds with 35- to -40 year maturities.
Moncks Corner-based Santee Cooper last month decided to postpone the sale of that long-term debt after balking at the interest rates it would have had to pay on it.
"Market conditions have improved, and we're moving quickly to take advantage of the opportunity," spokeswoman Mollie Gore said in an email.
The deal would bring the total amount raised from the combined sales to about $1.74 billion.
The power and water utility's board on Aug. 19 unanimously authorized a $1.34 billion bond issue, a record for state agency in South Carolina.
Most of the proceeds from will be used to refinance old debt.
The rest will help pay for construction projects, including the expansion of the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station north of Columbia.

The increasing popularity of Jewish "fraternities" is dividing opinion on campuses across the country.
Students at UJS conference earlier this month voted to condemn the groups, accusing them of being "exclusive" and "sexist".
In the past year, many campuses have witnessed the launch of clubs replicating the US Greek system which has often featured in comedy films such as Old School.
The north American system sees brotherhoods and sisterhoods live in designated houses on campuses. Several are Jewish, with their own histories and traditions; Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was once a member of the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi, which now has branches in the UK.
Influential in helping alumni build friendships and develop professional contacts, fraternities are also famed for elitism and setting would-be members tough initiation challenges.
The conference motion was proposed by JSoc members from Leeds and Birmingham, where the groups are thriving. It condemned the fraternities' existence, and stated: "At the core of UJS is diversity and equality, and as such our union cannot support organisations which do not share these values."
Delegates also expressed concerns that some fraternities were using facilities that might otherwise be utilised by a university's Jewish society and available to all students.
Aran Clayton, president of the Leeds chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi, admitted it was a men-only group adopting "special rituals" and exclusive meetings.
But he stressed that planned events, from themed Shabbat dinners to club nights, football matches and charity fundraisers, would be open to all.
He said UJS's stance was due to "a lack of understanding. We are not here to take their people away."
Mr Clayton said fraternities offered a new opportunity for students who tend to stay away from JSoc events to get involved in a Jewish organisation.
UJS president Dan Grabiner said he strongly disagreed with organisations which work with the union having exclusive memberships. He said female students, and those from different Jewish backgrounds, must be welcome.
Mr Grabiner added: "We are in the 21st century and everyone should have equal opportunities."

The venerable Mandriva codebase inherits a long tradition of success and innovation dating back to the early days of Linux. In addition to an appealing collection of applications, Mageia comes with Mandriva's popular collection of configuration tools. The Mageia Control Center offers a simple and intuitive interface for configuring software, networks, users, 3D effects, and parental controls.
Mageia 2 comes with kernel 3.3.6 and includes Pulse Audio 2, GIMP 2.8, and a variety of desktop options.
