Ken Marcus (born October 2, 1946) is an American photographer, best known for his glamour photography with Penthouse and Playboy magazines. He produces a well-known artistic, erotic, fetish and BDSM site.
Biography Edit
For many years his photographs of beautiful women have graced the pages of Playboy and Penthouse magazines as well as hundreds of advertisements, editorials, album covers, calendars and posters. His erotic images of men and women in highly sexual situations have appeared throughout the world in galleries, museums and sophisticated publications.
Ken Marcus was born and raised in Hollywood, California, where he was educated in art, photography and classical music. He studied advertising photography at the Art Center College of Design and Brooks Institute of Photography and for 13 years in Yosemite National Park as the youngest student of famed landscape photographer Ansel Adams.
In 1965 at the age of 19, Ken established his studio on fashionable Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, where he continues working today. After several years as a successful advertising, commercial, and food photographer, his direction shifted toward fashion, beauty, glamour and nudes. Ken has produced award winning photographs for editorial, entertainment and consumer clients.
In 1971 Ken was selected as the first American photographer for Penthouse magazine as they published their first American editions. He was responsible for introducing the soft-focus technique that soon became a Penthouse trademark. Ken left Penthouse after three years to become the major contributing photographer to Playboy magazine. From 1974-'85 Ken's work was featured regularly in Playboy's 15 international editions. For eight years Ken exclusively photographed the famous Playboy Calendar. He has produced hundreds of editorials, centerfolds, covers and calendars. His glamourous nudes have received many awards and much media publicity.
Recognized as one of the nation's top photographic educators, Ken has produced seminars, lectures, and workshops on the art and techniques of nude and glamour photography. For over twenty five years he was a regularly featured speaker at national photographic conventions and international photo expo's. His corporate sponsors have included Canon, Hasselblad, Pentax, Polaroid and Kodak.
Background and education Edit
Born October 2, 1946 in Hollywood, California, Ken began his lifelong interest in photography at around age 5. Encouraged by his parents, he later established his first darkroom in the family basement at age eight and became active in amateur camera clubs and activities.
At age 12, while on a camera club photo outing to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano, Ken produced an unusual picture of the statue of St. Francis of Assisi. This resulted in his first commercial sale to Paramount Pictures. The movie studio displayed a mural of his photo in the lobby at the world premiere and used it for promotion in exchange for several years worth of free movie tickets to Paramount Theaters.
Ken's formal fine-art photographic training began at age 13, becoming Ansel Adams' youngest student. Ken studied with Ansel in Yosemite National Park for the next 13 years as well as Brett Weston, Paul Cappinegro, Wyn Bullock, Imogene Cunningham and Judy Dater, all of whom influenced his early work.
While still a high school student, Ken attended the Art Center College of Design at night to study fashion and advertising photography. He later attended Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. He then attended a Justice Howard Erotic Art Photography show in 1997 and then started to emulate work in the erotic art field.
Ken returned to Hollywood in 1965 at age 18 to begin his photo business and establish a production studio on Melrose Avenue.
Early work Edit
Ken's earliest commercial work consisted of product shots, catalogs, corporate and editorial assignments. One of his more unusual, yet memorable early assignments was to photograph the instruction book for the famous Pink Pussycat College of Striptease (where dancers came from all over the world to learn the art and technique of strip-tease).
Throughout his twenties, Ken's commercial assignments included product and fashion catalogs, architectural interiors, food illustration, magazine editorials and advertising photography. Within five years, his work received national publicity and several Art Director's Awards.
By the early '70s Ken work began shifting more toward beauty, fashion & glamour as he shot regularly for Max Factor, Frederick's of Hollywood and other West Coast fashion clients.
Glamour photographyEdit
In 1972 Ken was approached to be the first American photographer for Penthouse magazine shortly after publisher Bob Guccione challenged and overturned the ban against total nudity in the U.S. Supreme Court. This decision allowed portrayal of the human body in its entirety for the first time in America. Ken was amongst the first photographers to legally explore this new creative arena.
His early pictorials were fantasy images of erotic and civil rights themes involving couples and models photographed through heavy, soft focus diffusion. This technique, while popular during the early part of the 20th century, had not been used in publication since the early 1920s. Ken crafted his own homemade diffusion filters (at the time there were none available on the commercial market). Penthouse's fully nude pictorials created quite a stir in the publishing world as circulation broke all prior records. The massive publicity rapidly transformed Ken into one of America's most famous glamour photographers.
In 1974, Ken left Penthouse to become the West Coast Contributing Photographer at Playboy magazine, replacing several of their staff photographers. This free-lance relationship lasted for over 11 years, with Ken often shooting more than 200 days a year. During that time he produced 41 Playmate layouts, over 100 calendars, covers and editorials and twice received Playboy's 'Photographer of the Year Award'.
In 1985 Ken ended his relationship with Playboy because of new copyright and work-for-hire policies that the magazine had imposed. Ken held strong beliefs regarding artists ownership of intellectual properties and copyright.
Shortly thereafter, Ken began shooting pictorials and centerfolds once again, for Penthouse. Meanwhile, new clients such as Jordache, Snap-on Tools, NAPA, and Muscle & Fitness magazine quickly filled Ken's schedule, as did numerous speaking engagements, seminars, video productions and workshops.
Seminars, workshops, and videos Edit
Throughout his career, Ken Marcus has maintained an academic interest in photography. For almost 25 years, he has lectured, taught seminars and conducted intensive study workshops for photographers. A regularly featured speaker at national photo conventions and expos, Ken's presentations drew large crowds and receive the highest reviews.
More than 10,000 photographers have attended Ken Marcus seminars for an insight into the complex world of professional glamour and nude photography.
Sponsored by corporations including Kodak, Hasselblad, Dynalite and Canon, and professional photographers' organizations, Ken's lectures and seminars were presented to professional groups throughout the world. Ken has appeared in Australia, Canada, Mexico, Singapore and in most of the United States.
As an addition to his personal appearances, he has produced an award winning video seriesThe Ken Marcus Glamour Workshops. This highly-successful, award-winning three volume video series on professional glamour techniques is considered the 'bible' of glamour photography. These videos explain professional production techniques for both studio and location glamour photography.
Fine-art photography Edit
Throughout his life, Ken Marcus has relentlessly pursued his interest in black & white, fine art photography. Originally interested only in the landscape (Ansel Adams' influence), Ken began taking serious interest in nude photography as art during the time that he was working with Playboy.
His nude studies of ballet dancers were first exhibited in Los Angeles in the early 80s.
In 1988 Ken was selected as the artist-in-residence for the Yosemite National Park Museum. His controversial images of nude models in nature were originally banned by the government, but are now shown as part of the museum's permanent collection.
Monterey Pop Festival discovery Edit
Early in his photographic career, Ken Marcus was one of only two official photographers at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Not being a fan of rock-and-roll music, he didn't realize the significance of the images of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones and others. He put the negatives in a box and forgot about them until 2005, when a studio remodel prompted the rediscovery of the negatives. Prints from the Monterey Pop Festival, and more, are now sold through Ken Marcus's prints site (note: site also contains nudity and erotic art prints).
His iconic photograph of Jimi Hendrix is featured on the new Jimi Hendrix album, The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live at Monterey", to be released October 16, 2007.
Quotes Edit
About the Monterey Pop Festival prints: "Shooting backstage at the Monterey Pop Festival was an amazing photographic experience. The film has been lost for almost 40 years. Recently, while remodeling my studio we found the box containing the negatives. We had long thought the images were lost. Here was Jimi Hendrix, onstage for the first time in America, setting fire to his guitar and blowing everyone's mind. When he went onstage, hardly anybody knew who he was. A few minutes later when he left the stage, he had established himself as a legend in rock n' roll history. This picture shows Jimi in his most decisive moment." Marcus, Ken, Ken Marcus quote at Ken Marcus Gallery.com, <http://www.kenmarcusgallery.com/index.php?dir=music>. Retrieved on 20 May 2007
About his start in glamour photography: "I really had no interest in commercial glamour. I was rather shy around women as a young man. It was a girlfriend who introduced me to the artwork of Gustav Klimt, particularly an image he had done of two women together that struck me with unusual force. From that inspiration, I first got interested in doing nude photography with the idea of exploring relationships between people. This was coinciding with the sexual revolution that was going on at the time. As the general community around me was exploring sexuality and eroticism personally, I was interested in exploring and documenting it visually". Biographical Information by Ira Levine, <http://www.kenmarcusgallery.com/bio.php>. Retrieved on 20 May 2007
About the softer-focus approach to shooting nude models: "This so-called new style, which was really more like the old style of shooting erotic material back around the turn of the century, caught on like wildfire. I got really well-known for it in a big hurry. Most of the work I did at that time was of couples, two girls together or single girls in erotic situations, all portraying their sexuality as well as glamour".

"Well we were a little disappointed. We thought we'd be better than that. There's no question about it but the bottom line is it is what it is and we have to go play. All that other junk doesn't make any difference. All their reasons doesn't make one frickin' bit of difference. The bottom line is that it came out like that on the bracket and we're going to go to Kansas City and try to play as hard as we can play.
"I'm ecstatic for my team. A lot of people had doubt even our most die hard fans were worried during the course of the year as to what it was going to be at the end. We won eight of our last 10. I really think our team got better and better as the year went along. I'm very proud of them for what they've accomplished down the stretch and ecstatic that we're in the NCAA Tournament. We're ready to go play and hopefully play better than we did even this weekend."
On the seeding of other ACC teams and whether the NCAA committee harshly treated the conference members as a whole:
"Well it was disappointing. It was disappointing for our league to get that little respect. It was disappointing to have two 2's and two 8's. Everybody has their own opinion. Opinions are like noses everyone's got one kind of thing. To me, it was sad. It was disappointing there's no question about that. I have a hard time understanding the lack of respect. But like we say, it doesn't make any difference, you've got to go play. I'm not going to spend too much of my time at all discussing things that don't make sense."
On the ACC Tournament championship game versus Miami:
"It was a great tournament run. I thought we did some good things against Florida State. We did good things against Maryland. We were tested and some toughness was shown. P.J. Hairston, I can't describe how pleased I was with him. Not just the way he played but the toughness that he showed because he's been a guy we've always worried about how quickly he was going to bounce back. I mean I'm in there in the training room when they're sewing his hand up and there is blood everywhere. To handle that kind of injury and even in Saturday's game when he was 3-for-10 he still did some good things for us. I loved his toughness and I think that's going to take him and help him throughout the rest of his career. I think it'll take another step up for him.
"Then in the championship game for about 36 minutes in or something like that it was a big-time basketball game. At one point we were leaving a timeout and it might have been at the three- or four-minute timeout I turned around and the crowd's into it a little bit and I said these people have got to be enjoying this basketball game because this is a big time game. Unfortunately for us, Miami made more plays down the stretch in the last four minutes. We were 13-for-23 at one point from three and we missed our last six. And they made good plays so you've got to congratulate them. I just think that they are a fantastic basketball team. They have no holes. They can score outside. They can score inside. They can play slow. They can play fast. They defend you like crazy."
On P.J. Hairston's injury:
"He was holding the ball. The guy hit the ball trying to knock it lose and the way he had the grip on it his fingers were spread. The basketball itself jammed between those two fingers and split the webbing between the middle finger and the ring finger and it split it on both sides. It's the third time I've had a player have that injury. One was a long time ago with Sam Perkins when he played for us and went up to block a shot. The rim caught between his two fingers and cracked it open but this was actually the pressure of the basketball separating those two fingers. It just split it."
On the play of Marcus Paige, P.J. Hairston and Reggie Bullock this weekend:
"Reggie was 3-for-14 yesterday. Nobody wanted to do better than Reggie wanted to do for himself and for our team. He did play very well for three days. P.J. did some big-time things in the first and third games and really helped us in the second game. And with Marcus I think he's getting better and better. He has the 13 turnovers the last two games of the regular season. He turns around in the first game of the tournament and I think he has ten assist with one turnover. Second game he didn't play nearly as well yet made two of probably the biggest field goals in the game down the stretch against Maryland. Then turned around yesterday and had 17 and just really did some good things for us. He needed to play the best basketball he's played all year which I hope that's what everybody does."
Comments on signee Isaiah Hicks winning the state championship with J.F. Webb:
"Everybody was ecstatic. I think he had either seven or nine blocks. He was needless to say a very active young man. They won I think in overtime but 34 (points) 30 (rebounds) - I don't care what league you're playing in that's pretty good. To do it and win a state championship he has to be thrilled and we're thrilled for him."

At a recent meeting of the Roscrea Fairtrade Steering Group a committee was elected to lead the promotion of the Fairtrade Mark in the town.

What is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade is an ethical assurance that the item you have bought was supplied by someone who is a free individual, given a fair wage and who did not suffer in the production of the merchandise.
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
We are now seeing more and more fairtrade products in our local shops and supermarkets, however we need to keep asking for Fairtrade products in place of those we usually buy. It is a simple, affordable way of ensuring that producers in developing countries get their fair share for the products they produce.
For further information about Fairtrade in Roscrea, call Geraldine on 0505 23379.

Six astronauts, including the four remaining Mercury 7, gathered here today to pay tribute to Alan B. Shepard Jr., who led them all into space.
''Alan Shepard was many things,'' recalled Senator John Glenn, one of the Mercury astronauts. ''He was a patriot, he was a leader, he was a competitor, a fierce competitor. He was a hero. Most importantly to us, he was a close friend.''
More than 850 NASA employees, guests and members of the public poured into a Johnson Space Center auditorium to attend the one-hour ceremony that ended outdoors with a fly-over salute by training jets in the ''missing man'' formation.
Mr. Shepard, the third of America's original astronauts to die, was 74. He died in his sleep July 21 while being treated for leukemia at a hospital in Monterey, Calif.
The astronauts Donald K. Slayton, died of brain tumor in 1993 and Virgil I. Grissom died in the Apollo I fire in 1967.Continue reading the main story
It was Mr. Shepard's 15-minute flight on May 5, 1961 aboard the Freedom 7 Mercury spacecraft that made the United States a contender in the race for the moon.
Ten years later, after overcoming a serious inner-ear disorder that affected his balance for six years, Mr. Shepard returned to space as commander of Apollo 14 on Jan. 31, 1971.
He is one of 12 people to have walked on the moon, and the only one to have driven a golf ball from the lunar surface.
But his colleagues remembered more vividly Mr. Shepard's no-nonsense zest for life, America and his family and his devilish penchant for speed -- particularly behind the wheel of his beloved Corvette. The three other Mercury astronauts here were Scott Carpenter, Walter Schirra and Gordon Cooper.
''We raced many miles in identical Corvettes,'' Mr. Cooper told the crowd, then looked straight ahead, as if speaking to his dead friend to joke: ''I'm sorry Al, but I never told you that I changed the ratio in the differential. You really weren't any less a driver, it's just that I cheated a little.''
Then Mr. Cooper became more serious.
''Now you're up there in that big hangar in the sky,'' Mr. Cooper said. ''We miss you Al. We'll be there before long and we'll try some of that flying ourselves.''
Mr. Schirra became the most emotional as he finished his recollection of Mr. Shepard.
''The brotherhood we have will endure forever,'' said Mr. Schirra, who then appeared to choke up. ''I'll make it, I know that.''
Mr. Shepard's Apollo 14 crewmate Edgar Mitchell, also attended the service and tearfully said goodbye.
''Wherever it is that astronauts and explorers go when we depart this realm,'' Mr. Mitchell said, becoming emotional. ''One day we all be together again.''
Daniel S. Goldin, who heads the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, read aloud a letter from President Clinton.
''Alan Shepard was a true hero,'' the President's letter said. ''He blazed a trail for our nation.''
Mr. Shepard left NASA in 1974, retired from the Navy with the rank of admiral and concentrated on business, investing in banks, oil wells, quarter horses, real estate and a beer distributorship.
He also was president of the Mercury Seven Foundation, an astronaut-based group that raises money for science and engineering scholarships.
His widow, Louise, and daughters Alice, Julie and Laura joined NASA officials outdoors, where they shoveled dirt on a live oak placed in Mr. Shepard's memory at Johnson Space Center.
''America has lost one of its true adventurers,'' Mr. Glenn said. ''We have lost more than a friend. We've lost a brother.''Continue reading the main story

Groups will deliver hundreds of thousands of comments to EPA Headquarte...
Posted Jan. 10, 2013 / Posted by: Eric Hoffman
Right before the holidays, while most of us were spending time with our families and friends, the Food and Drug Administration was busy giving the biotechnology industry a big, fat, genetically engineered gift. On December 21, the FDA quietly released its long-awaited draft Environmental Assessment on genetically engineered salmon -- the last step before it can approve GE salmon for human consumption. This fish, which has been genetically engineered to grow twice as fast as other farmed salmon, would be the first-ever GE animal that could end up on our dinner plates.
The FDA is nearing its final approval of GE salmon despite the fact that poll after poll shows that the public doesn't want to eat genetically engineered fish or other animals. To make matters worse, the GE salmon will most likely not be labeled—making it difficult for people to avoid when shopping or dining out. The approval of GE salmon will also open the floodgates for other genetically engineered animals, including pigs and cows, to enter the food supply.
Friends of the Earth, along with our allies, has called on the FDA to complete an Environmental Impact Statement – a much more thorough review of risks than a shorter Environmental Assessment, which was just released. An EIS would look at the environmental impacts of full-scale commercialization of GE salmon, for example, and would also look at the economic impacts posed to fishermen and fishing communities around the country. We are confident that once the FDA has done its due diligence, it will have no choice but to deny approval of GE salmon.
FDA's assessment is fatally flawed and fails to take into account the very real risk that these fish pose to endangered wild salmon, the environment, public health and our fishing communities on both coasts. The Environmental Assessment fails to:
The FDA is accepting comments until February 25. We need your help to tell the FDA to no to this risky "Frankenfish".
Click here to tell them that this is a bad deal for both consumers and the environment. We must let President Obama and his FDA know that we do not want genetically engineered salmon to threaten our environment, wild fisheries, our health or the livelihood of fishing communities on our coasts.

Walmart security guard shoots 'shoplifting' mother dead in parking lot as she tries to escape with two young children
- Shelly Frey was shot dead attempting to drive away from off-duty sheriff deputy Louis Campbell who suspected her of shoplifting
- He fired when Frey and her two alleged accomplices accelerated when he opened the car door
- There were two small children in the car at the time of the shooting
A 27-year-old mother of two has been fatally shot by an off-duty sheriff's deputy after he suspected her of shoplifting at a Houston Walmart.
Harris County Sheriff's deputies have said that victim Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig were stealing when they were confronted by Louis Campbell a 26-year veteran of the force who works as a security guard at the store.
According to Campbell the women ran to their car and when he rushed to open the door, they accelerated away - at which point he fired the deadly shot into the car which hit Frey in the neck.
Scroll Down for Video
Shelly Frey (left and right) was shot in the neck and died after failing to stop for an off-duty sheriff's deputy in Houston, Texas
Security at the store on the 14000 block of the North Freeway had noticed the three women 'stuffing items inside their purses' and notified Campbell, who was working an extra job that evening.
Investigators with Harris County said the three women even attempted to pay for some small items to act as a cover for the shoplifted ones.
After chasing Frey and the other two women to their car, Campbell opened the door and commanded Frey to get out. But she refused, officials said
Andrews began to drive away while the deputy was standing between the open door and the driver's seat.
'She threw it in reverse and tried to run over the deputy,' said Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Deputy Thomas Gilliland.
'He confronted the suspects at exit of the store before they left. One female wouldn't stop, struck the deputy with her purse, ran off.'
'I think it knocked him off balance and, in fear of his life and being ran over, he discharged his weapon at that point.'
Tiasa Andrews, Yolanda Craig were arrested at 1300 block of Greens Parkway where their friend Shelly Frey had died from her gunshot wounds
The Walmart store at 14000 block of the North Freeway in Houston where the alleged robbery occurred
Inside the car as it was speeding away were two small children - investigators have said that they were not Frey's children.
Gilliland said it was clear that the deputy was law enforcement.
'He was clearly marked in uniform as a Harris County deputy. And identified himself as the suspects were leaving the establishment,' said Gilliland to KHOU.Com
Despite the shooting, the women fled but eventually they stopped at The Worthington at the Beltway apartments in the 1300 block of Greens Parkway.
Paramedics from the Houston Fire Department arrived to try and save Frey, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
'Shelly was the perfect mom, perfect friend, perfect daughter,' said her father, Shelton Frey to KHOU.
He said that his daughter had moved to Houston after Hurricane Katrina to start a new life, but the amount of work she could do was limited by her two-year-old who has sickle cell anemia.
The deceased's mother Sharon Wilkerson was devastated that the deputy fired into a car with two small children inside and killed her daughter
'Why couldn't you just shoot the tire, shoot the window?' said her mother Sharon Wilkerson. 'Was it that serious?'
She added that even if her daughter had committed a crime, she did not deserve to die and she worries now for her two young grandchildren.
'How do I tell these children she's not coming back,' said Sharon to KHOU.
'To me, it should never (have) happened. I wish the officer didn't shoot her. I wish he shot her tires just to slow her down. That's a mother you know. And now they have to figure out what to do with the kids,' said Angel Gaines, a neighbor.
Kesha Sapp, a woman who knew Frey, agreed.
'What that look like with him shooting with the darn kids in the car? There were kids in the car with them. Why is he shooting at the car? Come on now, that makes him look bad. That don't even look right,' said Sapp.
Both Andrews and Craig, the two other women allegedly involved, have been charged with shoplifting according to KHOU.
Tragically, Frey wasn't even supposed to be at a Walmart that evening.
Earlier in the year she pleaded guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and as part of her plea arrangement she agreed to never enter Walmart stores again.
Deputy Campbell is on three days paid leave as is standard protocol.
He's been with the Harris County Sheriff's Office for 26 years.
Harris County Sheriff's Homicide Unit, Office of the Inspector General
and the Harris County District Attorney's Office will investigate this
incident. The case will be turned over to a grand jury.
Walmart offered the following statement: 'This is a tragic situation and we recognize this is a difficult time for all parties involved. We're committed to working with law enforcement and providing any information we have as they determine the facts of the case. Because this is an active investigation, any specific details of the incident should come from law enforcement.
'We hire off duty officers to provide security to some of our stores. While we have policies in place for our associates to disengage from situations that might put them or others in harm's way, off-duty officers working at a WM store are authorized to act in accordance with their department's code of conduct.'

Craigslist robber identified, arrested by police
A robbery suspect captured in a photograph by his victim has now been captured by police.
Detectives say 20-year-old Bo Scisney of Indianapolis is the person in a photo taken by a man who says he was robbed at gunpoint during a sale the two men arranged on Craigslist. The victim says he was selling his Apple computer and cash to Scisney in exchange for a newer computer.
As Scisney approached the vehicle, the victim says he took his picture on his smartphone. Scisney got into the car and allegedly pulled out a gun, demanding the computer, cash and the victim's phone.
When the victim got a new phone, his photos downloaded from Apple's iCloud and he forwarded the picture of the robber to police.
"Detectives received several tips immediately following the media's coverage of this story, and would like to thank the community and the media for their assistance with apprehension of this dangerous suspect," IMPD Ofc. Kendale Adams wrote in a release.
Scisney is currently being held at the Marion County Jail on an unrelated robbery charge. Police are expected to seek additional robbery charges from the prosecutor's office in the Craigslist robbery.

by Guy Christopher, Money Metals Exchange, Deviant Investor:
Today's best-selling government fairy tale is that debt is actually wealth, that countless trillions in paper and digital currency can be spread around the world without catastrophic societal upheaval.
The fantasy ignores sound money and belittles those who separate fact from fiction. This fable teaches the more unpayable the debt, the merrier.
Do young Americans today know anything about economics?
No, they don't, according to a study during the 2016 presidential primary season, which says lots of other Americans don't either.
The survey found 58% of millennials favor government-run socialism (statistically 6 out of 10), while a nearly identical number (64%) don't want government interference in free markets.
The incompatible findings make no sense, unless… Americans aged 18-24 simply don't understand the real meanings of either concept.
Sadly, the study says that's true of one-third of all Americans. Not a clue. The evidence is the large following behind avowed socialist Bernie Sanders during his presidential campaign.
This lack of understanding is concerning, as the implications for individual lives and the nation's future are significant. Witness the latest failure of socialism in Venezuela, where millions are rebelling against the government-controlled economy driving their lives into the dirt.
We know one answer. The thrust of government influenced, politically correct education for many decades has been to rewrite history and literature, aimed at growing government power while diminishing individual liberties. It starts with childhood.
The first global macro-economics lesson ever taught to children was The Legend of Robin Hood
Ask anyone, and you'll hear Robin Hood was the guy who robbed the rich to give to the poor. The ingrained implication is clear – sharing the wealth through class conflict is the way to go.
Balladeers passed along this folk tale beginning 600 years ago. Since silent movie days, Robin Hood has been played as champion of the oppressed by every major entertainer from Errol Flynn to Kermit The Frog.
Even Bill Clinton marketed the popular view in recent days. "I was sorta Robin Hood," he said, defending the millions he's raked in selling influence around the globe.
We're sorry to bring this up now, but we've all been living a lie.
The "rich" in Robin Hood's days were primarily government bureaucratic officials, bestowed with royal titles, and beholden to the king. Robin's constant nemesis was the Sheriff of Nottingham, the onerous, tyrannical tax collector.
The Merry Men of Sherwood Forest were in reality anti-government, anti-tax activists! Robin Hood was busyhijacking the IRS!
But that's certainly not a plot line government's compliant educators wanted planted in young, inquiring minds. Over the years they pushed a wholly incorrect socialist view of Robin Hood, burying the anti-tax storyline.
A few weeks after you elect a new president, win or lose, you'll want time to enjoy the holidays. MGM's The Wizard of Oz will air often between Thanksgiving and Christmas, a screen classic now for 77 years.
What you're getting is another rewrite.
You'll see Judy Garland as Dorothy, ripped from her home by a tornado, off to discover the truth of courage, intelligence, and heartfelt compassion.
That 1939 film became instantly, universally loved. In 1941, two brigades of burly Australian troops marched across North Africa against Nazi tanks singing "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
Then, in 1963, a New York high school teacher was preparing a lesson plan on the history of sound money. Before he knew it, Henry Littlefield had written a scholarly study, the first to recognize author Lyman Frank Baum's fantasy classic as historical satire of the bimetallism political fight of the 1890's.

There has been a great deal of debate surrounding JP Morgan's hedging losses announced last week. There is some mystery surrounding the nature of the transactions involved, without full clarity yet on the amount of losses. Andrew Ross Sorkin has a brief explanation of the episode in the New York Times:
... Here's an overly simplistic primer, but you'll probably get the idea: The company's chief investment office originally made a series of trades intended to protect the firm from a possible global slowdown. JPMorgan owns billions of dollars in corporate bonds, so if a slowdown were to occur and corporations couldn't pay back their debt, those bonds would have lost value.
To mitigate that possibility, JPMorgan bought insurance — credit-default swaps — that would go up in value if the bonds fell in value.
But sometime last year, with the economy doing better than expected, the bank decided it had bought too much insurance. Rather than simply selling the insurance, the bank set up a second "hedge" to bet that the economy would continue to improve — and this time, traders overshot, by a lot.
This episode has given rise to renewed debate on matters of regulation of the financial services sector as well as corporate governance.
On the regulatory side, the key question relates to whether it will strengthen the hands of regulators around the world to more closely scrutinize the financial services sector. The US has already taken giant steps through enactment of the Dodd Frank Act, but the current development would have an impact on the scope, nature and implementation of the Volcker rule which curbs proprietary trading by banking institutions.
There are a number of issues on the governance side as well. For example, it raises questions regarding oversight of the company's board and whether they ought to have exercised greater vigilance regarding activities undertaken by the chief investment office. Arguably, more effective risk management systems might have mitigated the effects of such transactions. Lastly, this has also triggered the debate regarding executive compensation, on this occasion pertaining to the specific issue of claw back of excessive compensation to affected officers of the company.While the enormity of JP Morgan's balance sheet size appears to have dwarfed the losses from the hedging transactions, their impact on the mode of regulating Wall Street and on governance concerns rings loud and clear.

It's been quite the emotional roller coaster for e-shopping goliath Amazon this week. Not only did the company launch its revolutionary one-hour delivery service across the whole of Manhattan, it also found time to start some major beef with a British restaurant critic. Double win.
So enraged was verbose foodie Giles Coren about the fact that he hadn't noticed the £79 coming out of his account annually for an Amazon Prime subscription that he took to Twitter to vent his frustration, launching an expletive-ridden tirade of abuse toward the e-tailer.
The hot-headed columnist didn't pull any punches, even comparing the sales tactic to "cynical corporate rape". But for someone who's paid to have an extreme opinion and has kicked off at sub-editors for the removal of an 'a' from his work, we expect nothing less.
It would seem that Coren hadn't heard the old adage 'there's no such thing as a free lunch' and, after using the free trial of Prime, he was unaware that he was being charged for the service. So were a number of his cheesed-off followers.
Amazon replied to the hoo-hah, stating: "Customers who sign up to a free trial of Prime receive an email informing them of the duration of the free trial and how to avoid continuing to pay Prime membership. Customers who become full Prime members can cancel their membership at any time and we will refund the full membership if the customer has not made any eligible purchases or used any Prime benefits."
Here at the Money Shot, we reckon that when you enter into a free trial you should check the terms and conditions and make sure that you're not opting into anything you don't actually need. If you are, cancel the subscription before the trial ends. And remember: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Have you fallen foul of the Amazon Prime subscription? Or are you currently involved in any financial beefs? Tell us about them on Twitter or Facebook.

It's that time of year again — a time for victors to be showered in glory, for losers to be mocked and ostracized, and for creative artists to cheapen their craft by taking part in the ridiculous circus that we call the Academy Awards.
It's a gas, though, isn't it?
To aid in the festivities, here's your comprehensive guide to Oscar night, with predictions and commentary for all major categories. There are few "sure things" this year, and the stiff competition should make for an interesting night. So on with the show!
- "Black Swan"
- "The Fighter"
- "The Kids Are All Right"
- "Inception"
- "The King's Speech"
- "127 Hours"
- "The Social Network"
- "Toy Story 3"
- "True Grit"
- "Winter' s Bone"
Will win: "The King's Speech"
Should win: "Inception"
Two months ago, I would have told you that "The Social Network" was the clear favorite to take home the night's big prize. But for some inexplicable reason, "The King's Speech" has enjoyed one of the strongest late surges in modern Academy history, and is now poised for an Oscar win to match its first-place showing at the Producers Guild awards. It's historically based (if woefully inaccurate, according to many experts) and involves a central character overcoming a disability to fight the Nazis. In retrospect, how didn't I call this sooner?
With "Rabbit Hole" out of the running, my choice for the year's best picture is "Inception," writer/director Christopher Nolan's concept-driven, Mobius-strip heist film set in a world of dreams within dreams. It was the year's most sophisticated and intellectually stimulating film — and also the most exciting, making it the rare movie that floods your mind with fascinating ideas while at the same time delivering as an old-fashioned adventure picture. (My runner-up choice would be "Toy Story 3," but that will have to settle for a win in the Best Animated Feature category.)
- Javier Bardem in "Biutiful"
- Jeff Bridges in "True Grit"
- Jesse Eisenberg in "The Social Network"
- Colin Firth in "The King's Speech"
- James Franco in "127 Hours"
Will/Should win: Colin Firth in "The King's Speech"
In all fairness, I should note that the year's best actor was, in fact, Ryan Gosling, whose blistering work in "Blue Valentine" hypnotized me like nothing else I saw all year. Alas, he is not in contention. That leaves us with Colin Firth, who deserves this award for crafting a nuanced portrayal of his subject — the stutter-afflicted King George VI — without relying on broad, gimmicky theatrics. Watching him, I was reminded of Leonardo DiCaprio's work in "The Aviator" — both strong films that were elevated to the realm of greatness thanks to stars who steadfastly avoided the temptation to take the easy way out and over-play their roles. Firth will fare better than DiCaprio on Oscar night, though, and if he doesn't win this award after taking home every other major trophy, it will be seen as the biggest upset in years. So don't count on it.
- Annette Bening in "The Kids Are All Right"
- Nicole Kidman in "Rabbit Hole"
- Jennifer Lawrence in "Winter's Bone"
- Natalie Portman in "Black Swan"
- Michelle Williams in "Blue Valentine"
Will/Should win: Natalie Portman in "Black Swan"
No qualifiers here: As an unstable ballerina on the brink of madness, Portman gave us the year's most impressive performance — male, female, lead or supporting. The film is eerie and effective where it might otherwise seem silly and overwrought, and as much credit as I'm willing to give director Darren Aronofsky for holding the whole thing together, the fact remains that without a compelling central performance, the film simply wouldn't have worked. Exhibiting intensity and a quiet vulnerability often in the course of the same shot, Portman brings this tragic character to life as few other actors could. But the question is, can she stave off Annette Bening, who is perceived as being "due" for her work in "The Kids Are All Right"? It's a reasonably close call, given Hollywood's propensity for playing catch-up with their awards. But in the end, Portman has the clear edge here.
- Christian Bale in"The Fighter"
- John Hawkes in "Winter's Bone"
- Jeremy Renner in "The Town"
- Mark Ruffalo in "The Kids Are All Right"
- Geoffrey Rush in "The King's Speech"
Will win: Christian Bale in "The Fighter"
Should win: John Hawkes in "Winter's Bone"
About six months ago, I was speaking to somebody about the likelihood of Bale ever living up to his potential and delivering exactly the kind of fiery, lived-in, award-worthy portrayal we all knew he had in him. I didn't think it was likely to happen any time soon. Thankfully I was wrong, and "The Fighter," in which Bale plays the drug-addled trainer and older brother of a down-and-out boxer, has provided the actor with the best notices of his considerable career. Like Firth, Bale took what could have been an overly showy gimmick performance and turned it into a fully formed characterization rich with subtlety. He's won almost every major award so far, so I doubt there's any stopping him now.
It is not my opinion, but an objective fact that Andrew Garfield gave the year's best supporting performance as Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in "The Social Network." But, in a reckless and possibly criminal affront to good taste, he was left off the roster. But never fear: We have a serviceable replacement in the form of John Hawkes, an under-rated character actor who is finally getting noticed thanks to his edgy work in the indie drama "Winter's Bone." He only has a few scenes in the film, but in the course of his limited screen time he fashions the most layered and charmingly shifty hillbilly you're ever likely to see. And if that's not worth an Oscar, then I honestly don't know what is.
- Amy Adams in "The Fighter"
- Helena Bonham Carter in "The King's Speech"
- Melissa Leo in "The Fighter"
- Hailee Steinfeld in "True Grit"
- Jacki Weaver in "Animal Kingdom"
Will/Should win: Hailee Steinfeld in "True Grit"
*Fellow nominee Melissa Leo won this category at the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild awards, but the Oscar-buzz momentum still seems to be with Hailee Steinfeld for her star-making turn as the young heroine at the heart of "True Grit." By all logic she should be competing in the lead actress race (hell, she has more screen time than co-star Jeff Bridges, who's vying for a Best Actor award), but the studio thought she'd have a better shot here, and I think they're right. Besides, there will be an impulse to give 10-time nominee "True Grit" some kind of major award, and this one's the best bet. And historically speaking, Steinfeld's status as a young ingenue doesn't hurt her chances against the much older Leo, as this category tends to reward "the next big thing."
- "127 Hours" by Danny Boyle & Simon Beaufoy
- "The Social Network" by Aaron Sorkin
- "Toy Story 3" by Michael Arndt, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich
- "True Grit" by Joel and Ethan Coen
- "Winter's Bone" by Debra Granik and Anne Rosellini
Will/Should win: Aaron Sorkin for "The Social Network"
In what is perhaps the biggest "gimme" award of the evening, Aaron Sorkin will finally win his long-sought-after writing Oscar. And as much as the guy annoys me on a personal level, it's hard to argue against him here. "The Social Network" dealt with a seemingly dull topic, but Sorkin's words and the energy contained therein propelled the movie along with the speed and precision of a corporate thriller. With rapidly delivered, rat-a-tat dialogue that might be disorienting if it wasn't so sharp and precise, the film isn't really "seen" so much as it is downloaded into your brain. This unusual effect is thanks as much to Sorkin as Fincher, and you can count on both of them taking home trophies for their considerable efforts.
- Darren Aronofsky for "Black Swan"
- Joel and Ethan Coen for "True Grit"
- David Fincher for "The Social Network"
- Tom Hooper for "The King's Speech"
- David O. Russell for "The Fighter"
Will/Should win: David Fincher for"The Social Network"
If Tom "Fish-eye Lens" Hooper somehow steals this award away from David Fincher (who cemented his place in the master class about three films ago), those screams of pain and fury you hear echoing through the Valley will be mine. I don't see it happening, though, despite the late surge for "The King's Speech." Fincher has won every relevant award thus far — including the Director's Guild, whose voting block is identical to that of the Oscars — and even if I preferred "Inception" and maintain that Nolan was robbed of a nomination, not even I will deny that Fincher put on the most technically impressive stylistic display of the year. Armed with a thorough understanding of how form should reflect content, Fincher turned his "Facebook movie" into an oppressive morality tale about social groupings which, in structure, deserves comparison to "Citizen Kane." It could have been a confused movie of the week, but Fincher turned the story of Mark Zuckerberg into a bona-fide modern classic.
- "Another Year" by Mike Leigh
- "The Fighter" by Eric Johnson, Keith Dorrington, Scott Silver and Paul Tamasy
- "Inception" by Christopher Nolan
- "The Kids Are All Right" by Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg
- "The King's Speech" by David Seidler
Will win: David Seidler for "The King's Speech"
Should win: Christopher Nolan for "Inception"
Doesn't make a bit of sense to me, but I would (and have) bet money that the momentum of "The King's Speech" will be enough to propel it to a win over the vastly superior and more complex screenplay for "Inception." (Remember last year, when "The Hurt Locker" unjustifiably beat out Quentin Tarantino's script for "Inglourious Basterds"? Yeah, me too.) Granted, "The King's Speech" is a very dialogue-driven film, and Seidler clearly has an ear for lines. Still, when you compare it to the twisty, mind-bending thrills to be found in the concept-driven "Inception," Seidler's screenplay starts to look relatively bland. So let's hope enough people are pissed about Nolan's snub in the directing category to put him over the top in this race.

Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes and Bugeyes
Maryland and Virginia shipwrights have always been experimental designers. Some vessels, like the Baltimore Clipper, have become world famous. Less familiar however, are other types of working bay craft, even though their utility and length of service have been considerably longer. In this volume, Brewington redresses that oversight, tracing the history of log canoes and bugeyes, and providing meticulous descriptions of the hulls, rigging, fittings, and specialized equipment used on these unique bay craft.
This combined edition of Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes, first published in 1937, and Chesapeake Bay Bugeyes, first published in 1941, is a revised and enlarged version, made possible with the cooperation of The Mariners' Museum, Newport News, VA.

Chateau Margaux 2009
Bordeaux Red Blends from Margaux, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
In 2009, mother nature surpassed herself. She allowed the greatest terroirs, whatever their grape variety, to bring their fruit to exceptional ripeness, providing a wine of wonderful concentration, finesse, balance and freshness. The Cabernet has no equivalent other than 2005, but it is more tender. The only two batches of Merlot that were kept have no equivalent at all. As for the Cabernet Franc and the Petit Verdot, they performed at their highest levels.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "The nose is out of this world, with lilacs, currants, blackberries, and blueberries. Full-bodied, with super silky tannins and savory fruit and amazing flavors of fine leather, blueberries, and sandalwood. The quality of the tannins are amazing, with creamy texture and bright acidity on the end. Such classic and classicism. Delicacy. Lasts for minutes on the palate. This is 13.2% alcohol. Best Margaux in bottle yet…will 2010 be as great? Try it in 2020. "
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Good full ruby-red. Pure, ripe aromas of cassis, graphite and cedar, lifted by floral and mineral high notes. Dense and amazingly concentrated yet light on its feet, with compelling, extremely pure flavors of spicy blackcurrant, tobacco leaf and minerals. The extremely long, slow-building and wonderfully fine-grained finish offers an exhilarating combination of power and sweetness. This comes across as quite backward today yet is anything but austere. A real essence of Margaux's great terroir, and one of my favorite wines of the vintage. As I walked to the parking lot with Pontallier after the tasting, he said to me, "If people don't think this is one of the greatest wines I have ever made, then it means I haven't really understood anything in the last 30 years spent making wine."
Barrel Sample: 97-100"
The Wine Advocate - "A brilliant offering from the Mentzelopoulos family, once again their gifted manager, Paul Pontallier, has produced an uncommonly concentrated, powerful 2009 Chateau Margaux made from 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. As with most Medocs, the alcohol here is actually lower (a modest 13.3%) than most of its siblings-. Abundant blueberry, cassis and acacia flower as well as hints of charcoal and forest floor aromas that are almost Burgundian in their complexity are followed by a wine displaying sweet, well-integrated tannins as well as a certain ethereal lightness despite the wine's overall size. Rich, round, generous and unusually approachable for such a young Margaux, this 2009 should drink well for 30-35+ years."
Wine Enthusiast - "A massive wine for Margaux, packed with tannins and ripe fruit. It has more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual, giving intense black currant flavors with enticing acidity balanced by the sweetness of the fruit. Ripe swathes of opulent fruit are also elegant and structured.
Cellar Selection"
Wine Spectator - "This offers gorgeously caressing fruit, with steeped plum, blackberry and red currant notes, finely embroidered with accents of rooibos and black tea, tobacco leaf, alder and sandalwood. Delivers loads of fruit, with the structure already melded into the core of fruit—but that's the vintage style. A stunner, though I still find the '10 a full step ahead. Best from 2018 through 2035."

Chateau Margaux Winery
Château Margaux, a Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux, is one of the most famous wines in the world. Care has been lavished on the property by a line of owners with an abiding concern for the reputation of the estate.
For more than five hundred years, season after season, generations of vineyard-workers, grapeharvesters, cellar-workers, coopers and many other craftsmen have all played a part in making Château Margaux what it is today: a wine with an incomparable personality, reflected in the elegant Palladian building which adorns its label. In 1977, the estate was purchased by the late André Mentzelopoulos, and it is now run by his daughter, Corinne Mentzelopoulos. View all Chateau Margaux Wines
About MargauxView a map of Margaux wineries (mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

I've been looking for a toy like this for a long time and finally I have found one that works for my needs. Exactly what I was looking for in the triple simulation and it hits all the right spots. Powerful and many settings to play with depending on your mood and what your looking for. The charge seems to last for a while as well. LOVE this one, my new favorite!
The Lovelife Be Adventurous Triple Stimulation Vibrator was designed to connect with three separate pleasure zones at the same time. Though made from silicone, it's really only a skin over the firm plastic underneath it. It's great because it provides nice pressure, but you can't flex it to help connect with your specific anatomy. I wasn't able to have it properly connect by simply holding it in place, I had to use a sort of rocking motion, and even then the bottom stimulator wasn't directly against my anal opening, no matter what I tried. The power behind the toy is really nice. It has a decent rumble to it which can be felt through each area, and has a variety of intensity levels and patterns. It's not very noisy either, which is always nice. Overall, I think it's one of the better 'triple stimulators' available, even if it doesn't connect perfectly. Your experience will vary depending on your anatomy, but most will find a way to make it work for them. I'm certainly enjoying mine and apart from being slightly anatomy specific, think it's a great product!

- 1/2 cup drained sliced pimientos (two 4-ounce jars)
- 1 teaspoon wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large onions (about 4 pounds in all), cut into thin slices
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 12-inch store-bought pizza shells, such as Boboli
- 6 ounces fontina, sliced thin
- 6 ounces Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Heat the oven to 425°. In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the pimientos with the vinegar and set aside.
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onions and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pimiento mixture.
Divide the onion mixture between the 2 pizza shells. Top each with half of the fontina, Roquefort, and Parmesan.
Bake the pizzas directly on the oven rack (for a crisper crust) or on two baking sheets until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

Gentlemen, before I sit down, I beg leave to drink all your healths.'
But I do that, my lad, because I hope naught may come of it, but just a drinking of healths and the like.
The priest moved his chair a little, and drank their healths a second time.
And Andy's health was drunk, as well as several other healths.
With her they drank the healths of their kings, amid thundering peals of cannon.
"healths a-piece, your sowls," said Ned, winking at the company.
At dinner we drank the healths of all at home, and did not forget Laddie (Laurie).
What songs are sung, what healths are drunk, what heartfelt wishes are expressed!
Short still: They are often Physicks for our healths, and help us.Si.
We were present at the head of the supper-table to hear our healths drunk.
Old English hælþ "wholeness, a being whole, sound or well," from Proto-Germanic *hailitho, from PIE *kailo- "whole, uninjured, of good omen" (cf. Old English hal "hale, whole;" Old Norse heill "healthy;" Old English halig, Old Norse helge "holy, sacred;" Old English hælan "to heal"). With Proto-Germanic abstract noun suffix *-itho (see -th (2)). Of physical health in Middle English, but also "prosperity, happiness, welfare; preservation, safety."

Archetypes of Wisdom: An Introduction to Philosophy, Cloth Edition (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac)
Featuring Douglas J. Soccio's lucid and conversational prose and a well-chosen, reader-friendly array of succinct excerpts from canonical primary sources, ARCHETYPES OF WISDOM brings philosophy to life for its readers through the examination of many paradigmatic philosophies and philosophers. Very much a student-focused book that speaks out of Soccio's non-condescending desire to speak to students where they "are" and not where they "should be," ARCHETYPES OF WISDOM includes numerous pedagogical illustrations and features (Philosophical Queries, a Marginal Glossary, Chapter Summaries, End-of-Chapter Questions for Reflection, to name a few) to make this often-times daunting subject the approachable and engaging subject it ought to be.
