Sharon Stone Movies
Screen siren, opinionated diva, and one of the few actresses in Hollywood who can claim to be both a
Paul Verhoeven
muse and a MENSA member,
Sharon Stone
is nothing if not a legend in her own right. Beginning with her notorious disinclination to wear underwear during a police interrogation in
Basic Instinct
went on to become one of the most talked about actresses of the '90s, earning both admiration and infamy for her on- and off-screen personae.
Almost as famous as
's glamorous image are her working-class roots. Born in the Northwest Pennsylvania town of Meadville on March 10, 1958,
grew up a bookworm in a large family. Highly intelligent in addition to being a local beauty pageant queen, she won a scholarship to Pennsylvania's Edinboro University when she was 15 years old. After studying creative writing and fine arts, she decided to pursue a modeling career, and after moving to New York, she signed on with the Eileen Ford agency.
became a successful model by the late '70s, appearing in print and television ads for Clairol, Revlon, and Diet Coke.
In 1980,
branched out into acting, making her screen debut as the "pretty girl on train" in
Woody Allen
Stardust Memories
. Following this role, she spent the '80s appearing in one forgettable film after another, often cast as the stereotypical blonde bimbo. She finally got a break in 1990, when she appeared as
Arnold Schwarzenegger
's kickboxing secret-agent wife in
Total Recall
. Any recognition she gained for that role, however, was more than eclipsed by the notoriety she earned for her starring turn in her second
Basic Instinct
. The 1992 film, in which
portrayed a bisexual author/sexual adventurer who may or may not be a serial killer, did her a huge favor by making her a star but also a sizable disservice by further typecasting her in blonde seductress roles.
's subsequent effort, the erotic thriller
(1993), was an example of this: the actress attracted notice less for her acting than for her willingness to simulate masturbation. Her role in the following year's
The Specialist
was also fairly limiting -- an action flick co-starring
Sylvester Stallone
, it called for
to run around in a tight dress in heels when she wasn't seducing various characters.
In 1995,
managed to break into the "serious actress" arena with her performance in
Martin Scorsese
. Cast as an ex-prostitute, she won an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for her work, as well as the general opinion that she was capable of dramatic acting.
branched out further that same year with
The Quick and the Dead
, a revisionist Western directed by
Sam Raimi
in which she starred as a tough-talking, hard-drinking broad bent on revenge. Unfortunately, the film was a relative flop, as were her subsequent 1996 films,
, a remake of the 1954 French film by Clouzot and
Last Dance
, a drama that featured
as a woman on death row.
By this point winning more notice for her off-screen role as an arbiter of fashion and old-school Hollywood glamour than for her onscreen acting work,
next lent her voice to the animated
in 1998. The film proved to be a success, unlike the actress's other projects that year, the lackluster Barry Levinson sci-fi thriller
The Mighty
. The latter film, which
produced as well as starred in, was a heartfelt story about two adolescent misfits; although it did win a number of positive reviews, audiences largely kept their distance. The same couldn't be said of
's next film, a 1999 remake of
; not only did audiences stay away from it, critics savaged it with vituperative glee. Never one to let a bad review get her down,
soon rebounded, receiving a more positive reception for her performance in
The Muse
and then starring as
Jeff Bridges
' long-suffering wife in
. If her roles in the years that followed weren't as high profile, that's certainly not to say that they were any less challenging. After taking a turn towards the small screen in the lesbian-themed made-for-cable drama
If These Walls Could Talk 2
broke for comedy with
Alfonso Arau
Picking Up the Pieces
and essayed the role of an unpredictable bad girl in
Beautiful Joe
(all 2000). Having veered increasingly towards family-oriented fare in recent years, the trend continued with vocal work for
Harold and the Purple Crayon
. Of course, all was not child's play in
's career, and with the release of
Cold Creek Manor
the following year, audiences were indeed in for a frightful chill.
A series of continual highs and lows marked
's career path in successive years. In 2004, the actress appeared as Laurel Hedare opposite
Halle Berry
. Though eagerly anticipated, the effects-heavy vehicle opened that July to abysmal reviews and devastating box office returns. Despite
's confession that she was toning down her oft cited diva-like ways after suffering a brain aneurysm in 2001, rumors of outrageous behavior on the film's set began to circulate. She fared much better on all fronts when she essayed a role as one of Bill Murray's ex-girlfriends in Jim Jarmusch's Golden Palm winner Broken Flowers (2005) - and walked away with the most memorable and endearing role in the picture - a role that showcases her skills as a disciplined thespian.
then contributed a cameo (as did many stars) to that same year's disappointing Martin Short vehicle Jiminy Glick in LaLa Wood
Early 2006 gave rise to another embarrassment, as
appeared (at the age of 48!) in
the sequel Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction. Despite a somewhat respectable pedigree (the gifted Michael Caton-Jones helmed the picture) the public and press scoffed. Incredibly,
spoke of a possible third entry in the franchise, and even explored the option of assuming the position of director. No such luck: much to the chagrin of viewers who relish Hollywood stars in humi roles, the picture failed to materialize.
But soon after, a couple of potential triumphs surfaced, defiantly challenging the tabloids hungry for a 'losing streak' in
's career. She joined an exemplary cast in Emilio Estevez's hotly anticipated November 2006 release Bobby, an ensemble piece that intertwines multiple substories in the Ambassador Hotel just prior to RFK's assassination. She also appears in
Nick Cassavetes's Alpha Dog (2007), alongside an A-list cast that includes newbie Emile Hirsch and Bruce Willis. The picture dramatizes the true story of a drug dealer in his early twenties who gets in over his head;
plays the traumatized mother of the child he kidnaps, a boy who is in hock for a massive drug tab. Universal slated it for release in January 2007. In that same year's drama When a Man Falls in the Forest, directed by Ryan Eslinger, she plays a kleptomaniacal Midwestern housewife. The cast also stars Timothy Hutton, Dylan Baker and Pruitt Taylor Vince. She continued to work steadily in projects such as Streets of Blood, Largo Winch II, and the biopic Lovelace.
Wed to MacGyver producer Michael Greenberg from 1984 to 1987, and George Englund, Jr. (Cloris Leachman's son) prior to that,
married her third husband, San Francisco Examiner editor Phil Bronstein, in early 1998, with whom she adopted a son. They divorced in early 2004. She runs an LA-based production shingle, Chaos Productions.

The life of one of the most infamous women in early '70s America gets a dramatization in this offbeat period biopic from co-directors Jeffrey Friedman and Robert Epstein. In the Florida suburbs, circa 1970, Linda Boreman (Amanda Seyfried) is an ordinary and unremarkable young woman who moved back in with her parents (Robert Patrick and Sharon Stone) a year or so earlier, following an unplanned pregnancy. One night on the town, she crosses paths with Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard) a local bar and restaurant owner who sees Linda as an opportunity; he soon wins her over as a girlfriend, and not long after, the two are married. Within a couple of years, Chuck shoots a private stag film of Linda performing oral sex on a partner, and decides to show it to Gerry Damiano (Hank Azaria), an up-and-coming porn director with ties to the Mafia. Damiano is so impressed by the footage that he immediately decides to cast Linda in his new picture, the hardcore comedy Deep Throat, which becomes the single most lucrative adult film of all time and turns the young woman -- renamed Linda Lovelace -- into a household name. The film then flashes forward to six years later, when Linda authors a shocking tell-all book about what really happened when the cameras weren't rolling; she describes the sadistic abuse that she endured at the hands of Traynor and a series of increasingly futile attempts to escape from his clutches, and claims that she was coerced to appear in the movie. The media then turns Lovelace -- who became a Long Island housewife named Linda Marciano -- into a feminist icon and a crusader against domestic violence and the enslavement of the porn industry. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Three friends are reunited as their lives become increasingly desperate and dysfunctional in this independent drama. Bill (Dylan Baker) is a lonely middle-aged man who works as a night janitor in a large office building; he keeps himself company at work by listening to opera, and as he tries to sleep through the day he obsessively listens to a self-help tape that teaches "lucid dreaming." One of the men working Bill's building is Gary (Timothy Hutton), who has a habit of falling asleep at his desk rather than go home to deal with his loveless marriage to Karen (Sharon Stone), who is convinced she's losing her looks and turns to shoplifting for comfort. Even though Gary bullied Bill when they were in high school together, when they meet by chance at the office one night Gary is thrilled to see him, and suggests they get together with another fellow classmate, Travis (Pruitt Taylor Vince). However, as they spend time together, the three men are only reminded of their emotional isolation, and how their lives have not turned out as they dreamed. When A Man Falls In The Forest was produced in part by co-star Sharon Stone; the film received its American premiere at the 2007 South By Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A drug dealer moves on to bigger crimes in an effort to settle a score with disastrous results in this drama inspired by actual events. Though barely out of his teens, Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch) has already built a lucrative career for himself selling drugs -- he has his own home, a luxury car, and posse of friends who do double duty as his crew, including Elvis (Shawn Hatosy), Frankie (Justin Timberlake), and Tiko (Fernando Vargas). While life at Johnny's house is usually a constant party interrupted by occasional dope deals, Johnny has lost all of his patience with Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), a regular customer who has run up a large tab that he can't pay. Determined to clear Jake's account, Johnny and his boys plan to kidnap Jake and hold him for ransom, but when they happen upon his 15-year-old stepbrother, Zack (Anton Yelchin), they impulsively decide to take the youngster instead. Jake's father, Butch (David Thornton), and his stepmother, Olivia (Sharon Stone), are already furious with their junkie son when they learn about Zack's disappearance, and aren't sure what they should do. Meanwhile at Johnny's place, Frankie takes a liking to young Zack, who already admires his brother's high-flying lifestyle, and introduces the kid to the joys of grown-up partying, which he takes to with dangerous zeal. Also featuring Bruce Willis as Johnny's father, Alpha Dog was based on the real-life story of Jesse James Hollywood, who at the age of 21 became one of the youngest people to ever appear on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Twenty-two people become unwitting participants in a tragic and defining moment of the 1960s in this period drama from actor and director Emilio Estevez. It's early June in 1968, and the California presidential primary elections are occupying the minds of many in the Golden State, with Robert F. Kennedy in a close race against Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey. The Kennedy campaign staff has set up camp at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, while the staff and guests become observers as the brother of fallen president John F. Kennedy sets out to pick up where his sibling left off. Paul (William H. Macy) is the manager of the Ambassador, and his wife, Miriam (Sharon Stone), is a hairdresser who runs' the hotel's beauty salon. Angela (Heather Graham) is a receptionist working the hotel's switchboard who has been sleeping with Paul behind Miriam's back. Timmons (Christian Slater) is in charge of the hotel's restaurant and catering department, and makes no secret of his dislike of the African-Americans and Latinos under his employ. Miguel (Jacob Vargas) and Jose (Freddy Rodriguez) are two young Chicanos on the kitchen staff who have it in for Timmons, while Robinson (Laurence Fishburne) is an older black man who counsels them on dealing with their rage. Virginia Fallon (Demi Moore) sings in the hotel's cocktail lounge and has a serious problem with alcohol; her husband, Tim (Emilio Estevez), is a Kennedy supporter and also her manager, and he's nearing the end of his rope in dealing with her problem. William (Elijah Wood) is a young man desperate to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam; Diane (Lindsay Lohan) is a pretty young woman dating William's brother who agrees to marry him so William can avoid being drafted, though William is clearly infatuated with her, while she considers this a marriage in name only.

And Jack (Martin Sheen) is a wealthy Kennedy campaign financier who is married to Samantha (Helen Hunt), an attractive but much younger woman.

In this program, Monger examines London through the eyes of many of the said pupils, including Jeff Goldblum, Hank Azaria, Garry Shandling, Geena Davis and Patrick Swayze.

A man sets out to find the son he didn't know he had and winds up getting answers to some questions he never asked in this comedy-drama from director Jim Jarmusch. Don Johnston (Bill Murray) is an emotionally blank middle-aged man who has never married and lives a quiet, comfortable life thanks to shrewd investments in computers (though he doesn't use one himself). After being given his walking papers by his latest girlfriend, Sherry (Julie Delpy), Don receives an anonymous letter informing him he fathered a son 19 years ago, and that the boy wants to find his dad. Not sure what to do, Don shows the note to Winston (Jeffrey Wright), a neighbor who fancies himself an amateur detective. With Winston's help, Don narrows the list of possible mothers down to four women, and with a mixture of reluctance and resigned determination he sets out to find them. Armed with a CD of traveling music from Winston, Don pays unannounced visits to Laura (Sharon Stone), an oversexed widow with a libidinous teenage daughter (Alexis Dziena); Dora (Frances Conroy), a stuffy real estate agent; Penny (Tilda Swinton), an aging biker with no happy memories of Don; and Carmen (Jessica Lange), a self-styled analyst for pets whose outward eccentricity disguises a firm inner stability. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark offers another look at the inner workings of urban youth culture in this comedy drama. Jonathan (Jonathan Velasquez) is a teenaged El Salvadorian refugee living in a primarily Mexican-American and African-American neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. Jonathan and a handful of fellow Salvadorian émigrés who are his best friends stand out like sore thumbs on the block, due less to their national origin than because they've rejected the hip-hop music and fashion around them in favor of old-school punk, as favored by the Ramones and latter-day Latino bands such as Suicidal Tendencies. Jonathan and his pals Kiko (Francisco Pedrasa), Eddie (Eddie Velasquez), Porky (Usvaldo Panameno), and Spermball (Milton Velasquez) have a group of their own, and Jonathan, a sweet but streetwise kid who has a way with the girls, is the lead singer. Like all good punk rockers, Jonathan and his bandmates are seriously into skateboarding, and one day they hop several busses and make a pilgrimage to a legendary skate spot in Beverly Hills. If the kids felt like outsiders in South Central, they soon discover they're unwelcome outcasts in the moneyed L.A. suburbs; before long they're on the run from cops as well as Anglo skaters, and even Jonathan's chance assignation with a neighborhood sexpot leads to no small share of drama.

Patience Philips (Halle Berry) seems destined to spend her life apologizing for taking up space. Despite her artistic ability -- she has a more than respectable career as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a Goliath cosmetics company -- Patience is excruciatingly shy, quick to take blame, and, not surprisingly, more than a little depressed at the end of the day. This comes to somewhat of a screeching halt when Patience not only inadvertently lands herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy of gargantuan proportions, but on the city police force's most wanted list. Newly quipped with a mysterious feline prowess, Patience is a different person come nighttime -- more accurately, a catwoman. Elusive, untamed, powerful, stealthy, and not necessarily prone to erring on the side of good, Patience has gone from doormat to vigilante. Police officer Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), who has fallen for shy Patience, is determined to apprehend Catwoman and figure out her role in a recent crime spree, though his fascination with her doesn't cease with the end of his shift and it threatens to lead to the downfall of himself, his investigation, and the woman who was once the timid Patience Philips. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

The world's most obnoxious celebrity talk-show host demonstrates how he rose to mediocrity in this pungent show business satire. Jiminy Glick (Martin Short) is a corpulent entertainment reporter who is looking to kick his career into high gear. Hoping to snag some celebrity interviews, Jiminy and his wife, Dixie (Jan Hooks), head north of the border to Canada, where Jiminy will attend the Toronto Film Festival. At first, Glick's attempts to ingratiate himself with stars and semi-stars are little short of disastrous, but after the easily star-struck reporter allows egocentric filmmaker Ben DiCarlo (Corey Pearson) to shamelessly self-promote his latest project on air, word gets around that Glick is an "easy interview," and his star begins to rise. However, Jiminy's good fortune is tempered by his unwitting involvement in a murder plot centered around booze-addled actress Miranda Coolidge (Elizabeth Perkins) and her wildly pretentious husband, Andre Devine (John Michael Higgins). Somewhere along the way, filmmaker David Lynch (played by Short) happens along, offering his theories on the controversial murder of Lana Turner's paramour Johnny Stompanato. A large number of Hollywood celebrities make cameo appearances in Jiminy Glick in La La Wood, including Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Forest Whitaker, Kiefer Sutherland, and Sharon Stone. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Directed by actress Rosanna Arquette, this candid documentary is not only about the iconoclastic and somewhat reclusive film star Debra Winger (who does not even appear onscreen until an hour into the film), but also about the trials and tribulations of actresses in Hollywood who have reached "that certain age." In the course of her "search," Arquette interviews several of her colleagues, among them Whoopi Goldberg, Diane Lane, Teri Garr, Holly Hunter, Vanessa Redgrave, Charlotte Rampling, Meg Ryan, and Sharon Stone, all of whom have their own personal horror stories about insensitive producers and casting directors who tend to think of over-40 (and sometimes over-30) actresses as being suitable only for mother, "other woman," and "hero's girlfriend" roles -- when they bother to cast these actresses at all. The women also discuss the difficulties in balancing a successful career and a private life. Test-marketed on the film festival circuit throughout 2002, Searching for Debra Winger received its largest audience when it aired over the Showtime cable channel on August 18, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Hope you and your family had a wonderful thanksgiving!
Happy Independence Day!
Happy Memorial Day! and Thank you to those that served.
Howdy...I'm a retired Truck Driver also...Like to be buddies??
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 600 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
Keep going like a PRO Indiana GasBuddy! We are all here helping others save on gas and we help even more when we post gas prices each day! Posting regularly each day can help each of us see where the best gas deals are located, it's nice seeing GBs come back to post gas prices as often as they can and it's really a big help to the tens of thousands of GBs and others, especially those that travel! It takes a lot of dedication and persistence to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each level, but thousands of GBs do it each day! Pro GasBuddies get more than 750 points each day, getting to their next level sooner! But 90% or more of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, but keep going, you can do it, you're getting closer each day! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Have a Merry Christmas and happy Holiday season my friend. We actually got a White Christmas yesterday, the first actual White Christmas day since the 1970's. What a treat. Be safe and warm my friend.
Wishing you & your family a Merry Christmas!
A BIG CONGRATS on 500 consecutive days! Awesome! Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Indiana GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks! Ron

As you would expect, things got a little heated in Round 2 of our little game determining the "toughest" Canuck ever. We will commence with Round 3 on Monday. And promise to pick-up the pace. This will end long before training camp.
Here's a quick recap of Round 2 results:
1. In our most controversial match-up, Trevor Linden barely out pointed Ron Delorme. You, valued reader, turned out in droves to vote on this one, which featured many lead changes and was basically a split vote from start to finish, with Trevor edging out Chief by the narrowest of margins. So clearly the broad definition of toughness wins out. For now.
2. In another ridiculously close encounter, Stan Smyl bested linemate Curt Fraser by a single vote. Clearly, Smyl's enduring legendary status in this town provided him with the momentum to get past the more dangerous Fraser.
3. In a battle of top defensemen, Harold Snepsts, easily out voted Ed Jovanovski. We applaude your discerning taste.
4. And in a match that should have never happened, Gino Odjick pretended Mattias Ohlund was the St. Louis Blues, with a most logical conclusion.
Thanks for playing. Round 2 featured a record number of votes; we can only hope you'll hang around for Round 3 (starting Monday).

The Department of Education presently anticipates that the rate will increase to approximately 1.05 percent.

How conflicting is it for you that both guys in questions are Black? lol I keed
Anyways, I heard the entire podcast (Adam Hunter is awesome) and it seems like it would be something that truly happened. I mean, Jones DOES/DID say he's a "huge wrestling fanatic" yet he doesn't know who DC is? And Hunter's co-host did say that Jones turned him down because he sponsors another fighter so I buy it...DC may come off as a bit full of himself but the guy is a VERY accomplished athlete so he has every right to.
It's like talking to like one of my kids friends
oh my god as if gag me with a spoon
I dont know why I even try as I just cant debate stupid people all they do is get me to stoop to their low level and beat me with experience.
It was hard for me to read that one....I kept picturing the girls in the Planet Fitness commercial with all the "likes" that were used.
Favorite UFC Fighters:
HW-Cigano, Frank Mir, Cain Valasquez

Some Early Returns From First Post-Citizens United Election
November 13, 2012 Political observers are still working through the rubble of the unprecedented $6 billion presidential campaign, but we're getting a steady stream of reaction and analysis.

With Millions Spent, GOP 'Investors' Saw Little Return Election Night
November 12, 2012 A "return on investment" is a concept better known to Wall Street than to Washington. But after President Obama and the Democrats won most of the close elections last week, there are questions about the seven- and eight-figure "investments" made by dozens of conservative donors.

Outside Groups Spend Big On Elections, But Don't Have Much To Show For It
November 7, 2012 This presidential election attracted $1.5 billion in outside spending — TV ads, robocalls and other political activity by groups created to take advantage of the new rules of campaign finance law. But on the day after the voting, their track record is open to question.

Post-'Citizens United' Senate Snapshot: Money Doesn't Guarantee Victory
November 7, 2012 The battle for the Senate was a proving ground for the new Citizens United politics. Outside groups unleashed heavily funded barrages of attack ads meant to help elect candidates while letting them keep their distance from the nastiness. In Ohio and Virginia, the tactic failed in rather dramatic ways.

Tough Night For Self-Financed Senate Candidates
November 6, 2012 Republican Senate candidates Linda McMahon in Connecticut and Tom Smith in Pennsylvania spent a combined $56 million of their own money in losing efforts.

Any Way You Describe It, 2012 Campaign Spending Is Historic
November 5, 2012 Pick your adjective — enormous, astronomical, colossal. The political spending in 2012 was unprecedented and already has implications for the next campaign cycle.

With Buses And Billboards, Small-Money Groups Try To Make A Mark
November 3, 2012 From a DVD claiming that President Obama's real father was a communist poet, to small-market TV ads of child readers urging support for the president, this campaign season has seen its share of outside-the-mainstream efforts to influence the election.

Mysterious Anti-Obama Spam Texts Linked To Republican Consulting Group
October 31, 2012 A barrage of unsolicited anti-Obama text messages appears to be linked to a GOP consulting group, based in Virginia. The websites sending the messages have been suspended.

2012 Money Race: Battling For The Bottom Line
October 24, 2012 Fundraising reports for September show a massive spending and fundraising push by both the campaigns of President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney as the race enters its final phase.

Study: Secret Donors Significantly Fueling Pro-Romney TV Ads
October 15, 2012 Most of the TV ads supporting Mitt Romney have come from outside groups, not from Romney's own campaign. And those groups raised more than half of their money from secret donors, a much higher proportion than the secret donors backing President Obama, according to a new analysis.
Mitt Romney
Taxes Are Certain, But What About Romney's Cuts?
October 7, 2012 Gov. Mitt Romney started his campaign calling for big tax breaks for the middle class. Over time his goals for those breaks have expanded to maintaining the government's flow of income and creating jobs. In the end, will a middle-class tax cut still be possible?

Thread: Looking for a firewall...
Threaded View
Looking for a firewall...
Yeah. After getting sick of the constant pop-ups that were inferring that the current version of ZoneAlarm was no longer secure, (A lie) I clicked the "upgrade" button to take me from version 9 to version 10. Oops.
To cut a long story short, the new version of my all-time favourite firewall is a piece of crap, and I'm currently stuck with the Windows thing.
Anybody care to recommend me a decent firewall? Free is good, but paying is also perfectly acceptable, if it's really worth the doshes.

The young Swedish DJ/Producer is ruling the DJ world with hits monopolizing the club scene. He's talented, he's got style, and not to mention, he's a looker, so it should come as no surprise that the 22-year-old's next venture is making an imprint on the fashion industry.
This Fall we will be seeing the blond-haired, big blue-eyed dreamboat as the face of the new Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply ad campaign. The two will collaborate to create a fashionable and musical combination for our eyes and ears (literally!). The campaign is said to be featuring a video that Tim Bergling (aka Avicii) will be co-producing and debuting a brand-spankin' new track.

NORTH ADAMS -- When John Hockridge first heard the National Rifle Association's call for armed security personnel in schools last December, he found the notion so disturbing, the North Adams School Committee member drafted a position statement urging the exact opposite.
Hockridge's statement, which rejects the NRA's Dec. 21 statement that armed security in schools is the "most effective strategy for protecting our children" and encourages state and federal officials to adopt stricter gun control laws, has become the basis for the Massachusetts Association of School Committees' "Model School Committee Position Statement on Gun Safety." The model statement was sent out to school boards across the state for consideration earlier this month.
"When I wrote it, the NRA was the only organization out there doing the talking," he said Monday. "I found their suggestion that armed guards in schools was the best policy and that all parents of school children would be in favor of that, to be disturbing. I thought that we, as school committee members, needed to get into the conversation and present other views on the issue."
He added, "The purpose of such a position statement is to let our state and federal legislators know where we stand on gun safety as it relates to the protection of school children, as legislation on gun safety and gun control is being considered"
The MASC also issued a position paper on school safety earlier this month, which calls on local, state and federal governments to address school safety and gun violence by: Passing legislation to ban the sale, possession and use of assault weapons; implementing mandatory gun registration and licensing at the local, state and federal levels; creating stricter criminal sanctions for firearm possession in a school; requiring school districts to establish policies relative to firearms or other weapons and by providing mental and behavioral health services to schools.
Hockridge, who also serves as MASC Division VI chairman, said the MASC position statement is largely based on the version he presented to the North Adams School Committee at its Jan. 8 meeting. The North Adams School Committee is expected to consider the statement at its next meeting.
"The [MASC version] is intended as a template and school committees can choose to adopt it as is, create their own language, or choose not to adopt a position statement," he said. "I don't know what the reaction will be. Gun violence is a very political issue for many people right now and some may be uncomfortable taking a position. Many committees may not opt to take a position. I'm not sure if the North Adams School Committee will adopt it in any form."
The MASC statement reads: "In our role of responsibility in securing the safety of our school facilities and the protection of our school children, the [school committee name] urges the U.S. Congress to adopt legislation to: Ban the sale and the possession of military-style assault weapons; ban the sale and possession of high capacity magazines and require every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check."
"Moreover, we urge the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to support this effort. Given that we support local school committees to make informed decisions regarding school security and that these decisions should be made at the local level, the [school committee name] urges the rejection of the NRA assertion that staffing schools with armed security personnel is the most effective strategy for protecting our children."

The Surprising Origins of Fried Green Tomatoes
The first time I, like a lot of Americans, heard of fried green tomatoes was when a movie by that name came out in 1991. Based on a novel by Fannie Flagg called Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, it starred Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart Masterson, Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy in a feel-good story of female friendship and empowerment set in Alabama. I was not a fan of the movie (two of the main characters are named Idgie and Ninny—need I say more?), and I didn't give much thought to the ostensibly Southern dish (more about that later) that one of the characters craves until a friend and I visited my aunt and uncle in New Orleans in the late 1990s.
They took us to a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall that served simple Southern fare. The whole meal was delicious, as I recall, though the only dish I can remember clearly was the fried green tomatoes. Now, I know that most things that taste good taste even better when battered and deep-fried. But something about this dish was extraordinary—the combination of firm-fleshed tomato with crunchy cornmeal coating, the slight tartness of the unripe fruit balancing the oiliness of the exterior. I was smitten.
The New Orleans visit was our first stop on a road trip to Chicago. (Now, why didn't I remember this story for Inviting Writing, instead of my sad tale of food-borne illness?) I kept looking for fried green tomatoes everywhere we went. Although I ate lots of other good things on that trip, I found my new favorite food only once more, at an upscale restaurant in Memphis. They were a disappointment—over-seasoned and overcooked.
The next time I encountered fried green tomatoes was almost a decade later at a rural county fair in, of all places, upstate New York. Served at a corn farmer's food stand, they were not what I had come to believe was traditional Southern-style—they were more like a corn fritter with a slice of green tomato nestled inside—but I was enraptured once again.
The reason I say "ostensibly Southern" is that, it turns out, fried green tomatoes may have been as unusual in the South before 1991 as they were everywhere else. In fact, according to Robert F. Moss, a food historian and writer in South Carolina, "they entered the American culinary scene in the Northeast and Midwest, perhaps with a link to Jewish immigrants, and from there moved onto the menu of the home-economics school of cooking teachers who flourished in the United States in the early-to-mid 20th century."
Jewish?! And here I thought the crowning culinary achievements of my ethnic heritage were matzo ball soup and bagels. Moss found recipes in several Jewish and Midwestern cookbooks of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, but none in Southern cookbooks and hardly any in Southern newspapers. You can read the whole entertaining and informative account of how a movie changed (or distorted) culinary history at his blog.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that fried green tomatoes should be a Northern dish. Moss confesses to not liking green tomatoes, arguing that the ripe ones are "one of nature's true delights" and that it's a shame to eat them any other way. I am also a huge fan of really good ripe tomatoes, and if forced to choose only one or the other for the rest of my life I would have to go with ripe ones. But where I live in the Northeast, the growing season is so short that gardeners have to find something to do with all their unripe tomatoes before the first frost. Frying 'em up in batter seems like a good solution.
Although we're at the peak of tomato season now, last week at the farmers' market I spotted some green tomatoes next to the ripe ones. I bought some of each, and fried up the green ones according to a recipe from Southern Living magazine. That was before I read Moss's blog, though; maybe next time I'll try to track down one of the Jewish recipes he mentions.

I would suspect the Meso-Americans pre-dated any Anglo or Afo-Americans cooking tomatoes this way.
Our family has hand written recipes for this and other tomato uses from ~1890.
I grew up in Knoxville, TN eating fried green tomatoes and I'm almost 60 years old. My mother grew up in Birmingham, AL eating them.
I never had them until I moved to MS in early 2003. They are delightful and much better than boiled peanuts (which are also green and unripe but no doubt "southern").
I also grew up in Tennessee eating fried green tomatoes, since the 1950′s. My grandmother cooked them before that. So they seem to be in all sections of the country, maybe just not in cookbooks and restaurants.
I came up with a similiar article last month at Tie Dye Travels, referenced here on Eat Arkansas, the Arkansas Times' food blog:
http://www.arktimes.com/EatArkansas/archives/2010/07/06/southern-staple/Please feel welcome to try my version of the recipe.
Kat -
I've had fried green tomatoes all my life and I'm from Arkansas. We had them while waiting on the rest to ripe in the spring.
I have been eating fried green tomatoes all my life,50+ years. It all started in Ohio with my great grandmother, who had been eating and cooking them her whole life which started in 1895. But the recipe is a little different than the standard I see every where.
My mother fried green tomatoes as far back as I can remember, and I was born in 1925 (Los Angeles). Mother was born and raised in Kansas, and her parents came from that area, also. There was no southern history in our family! Could it be that Grandma, or Mother, just had some green tomatoes and tried frying some? All we did was dip them in flour and fry them, salting them as we started. I still love them.
My family has cooked fried green tomatoes for 4 or 5 generations, going back at least to my great great grandmother, who was of Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish descent, lived from the mid-nineteenth century until about 1920, and who lived her whole life in northeastern Ohio. Until the book (and then movie) came out when I was in my 20′s I had always figured they were only a Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish thing. We made similar to the way you describe your New Orleans ones, I have never seen them as fritters (although we ate a lot of apple fritters) even though my grandfather is from Upstate New York. We used to have a hard time getting any ripe tomatoes because my mom and aunt were always stealing the green ones. Some days the stove would never get turned off, they just kept running outside for another tomato to slice, bread, fry, eat, run out for another round of tomatoes, repeat!
My Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother (born ca. 1880) prepared her family's "receipt" for fried green tomatoes in east-central Indiana. She used a cast iron skillet and bacon fat. My mother employed her mother's technique, dredging the thinly sliced, very green tomatoes in well peppered flour, and fried them in butter 'til deeply browned. Although we'd appropriate a suitably green tomato from my dad's prized plants occasionally, the true feast came at the end of the season, when frost threatened. Impossible to describe my Mom's heavenly corn fritters, but they were a more elaborate batter preparation.
My mother, who grew up in Middletown, New York, during the Depression, often made fried green tomatoes for us when I was growing up in Martinsville, Virginia. She said her mother used to make them and had to sneak the green tomatoes in from the garden because my grandfather didn't want them picked before they were ripe. Of course, they were originally a fall dish made when all of the tomatoes, ripe or green, were picked just before the first frost. So in our family anyway, the dish was carried from the Northeast to the South. She did not use a heavy batter, just a light coating of some sort, and pan-fried them.
i was born in northern Maine in 1929. Our family always had fried green tomatoes but my mother dipped them in flour with a little salt frying them in lard. When I had learned about the corn meal version, I tried it and liked it better. Now that I live in Florida, I have access to them almost all year. Would you believe I have one in my refrigerator now for me to use tomorrow? My son in California wants me to bring a few out to him.
[...] Conheça a origem dos tomates verdes fritos (o prato, não o filme) e veja a receita aqui – nham! (via @ivanisegomes, RT de @ZagatBuzz) (foto: Old Shoe Woman, no Flickr) [...]
They are mentioned in a number of southern cookbooks from before the movie. I've responded to the post here. Interesting topic.
[...] dishes, their "Fried Green Tomatoes." These were absolutely incredible too. Like this blog on Smithsonian Magazine, I concur that I too did not hear of these green marvels until the 1991 film came out. Tomatoes? [...]
I grew up in Tennessee, Arkansas, & Virginia, avoiding the ubiquitous fried green tomatoes that were offered at most big family meals, and have been cooked & eaten by both sides of my family (southern, eastern & mid-west) for generations. I have not tried them in over 30 years, & found enough in area farmers markets to make a large batch of piccallili; so, I've decided to put away my childhood prejudice & find a recipe so I can try them myself.
Assuming that the movie introduced them in the south is silly, although the movie certainly popularized them in restaurants. Fried green tomatoes are, and always have been, the frugal cooks' way of using everything that comes out of the garden, as is green tomato piccallili (also known as chow-chow or relish, depending on region). -
We of the midwest (Owensboro, Ky) have been eating fried green tomatoes for a long long time. When I was young in the early 1940′s they were staples from early summer thru Christmas. Green tomatoes were harvested before frost wrapped in newspaper and stored in a cool dry place and selected up to and sometimes into January. I remember my paternal grand mother bragging that her recipe was given to her by her mother and it contained a secret. (some red pepper flake was added to a mix of 1/2 flour and 1/2 white cornmeal) I am deep in my 70′s and still love to cook and teach my grandchildren and great grand children to cook. Poppy like his grandmother passes recipes on….
I grew up in PA and my parents grew tomatoes every year and my dad would make Green fried tomatoes coated in flour and fried in butter. He couldn't fry them fast enough for us. He was born in Pennsylvania Dutch country in the 30′s and 40′s and we liked things like green tomatoes and scrapple. We grew up on a small farm so we had our own milk and cheese and butter and so many vegetable from the garden but my favorite time of year was tomatoes. I live in Maine now and every summer i find a farmer that has tomatoes and ask for the green ones. I get some strange looks but I don't care. :o)

NOTHING TO HIDE: The proposed computerized passenger pre-screening system would examine airline travelers in detail.
Image: DIGITALVISION
Does the person in the next seat intend to blow up the plane? The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) believes it can answer this question via a proposed second-generation system known as Computer-Assisted Passenger Pre-Screening, or CAPPS II. In terms of the variety of information, the system goes much further than the 1.0 version--and may be too complex to pull off without huge additional funding.
The original system, which began in 1998, requires U.S.-based airlines to pass reservation data through a secret, government- supplied algorithm intended to identify fliers who pose a risk to safety. It was implemented at a time when airline safety focused on bombs in checked suitcases. (It was also meant to be temporary, to be replaced by a system that matches passengers to their checked luggage, the standard outside the U.S.) After September 11, 2001, officials extended CAPPS to include all passengers and required airlines to refuse to board anyone with a matching or similar name to those on the government¿s "no-fly" list without permission from law-enforcement officials.
The proposed CAPPS II will be an attempt to build a "threat-assessment tool" that would be the world¿s first fully automated system to check passenger backgrounds. The most recent proposals would compare name, date of birth, home address and home telephone number with private-sector databases, potentially including credit and criminal records.
But as Edward Hasbrouck, author of The Practical Nomad and an expert on travel industry infrastructure, points out, this information is not typically listed in passenger name records, which are the data that the Transportation Security Administration planned to use. To work, CAPPS II would require "the most profound change that has ever been proposed in the basic concepts of how passenger information is exchanged," Hasbrouck says. Right now airlines outsource their computerized work to external reservations systems such as Sabre. Passenger data are collected by tens of thousands of travel agencies; the agencies in turn use a variety of third-party software to run their businesses and interface with the reservations systems. As a result, data formats are not standardized across the industry, which has protocols that predate the Internet. Moreover, passenger name records and passengers do not necessarily match up one to one: a group traveling together may have one record with only travel agency information in it.
Altering current practices to suit CAPPS II will be costly. Hasbrouk thinks that $1 billion is a "conservative lower-end estimate" and that the TSA has grossly underestimated the complexity of the necessary changes. (The agency has requested $35 million for 2004 for developing CAPPS II, part of $1.7 billion overall for passenger screening.)
Still, such a system could possibly succeed: "Technically, there is almost nothing that can¿t be done given enough time and resources," comments retired FBI profiler Bill Tafoya. But with limited understanding of other cultures and the fact that data mining is only as successful as the mind-set that produces the search criteria allows it to be, he favors a risk-based assessment system. An example is the one proposed by the Reason Public Policy Institute, a Los Angeles-based think tank. Its system would identify high-, average- and low-risk passengers and focus security attention accordingly. That approach isn¿t perfect, either: Terry Gudaitis, a former terrorist profiler for the CIA who now works for Psynapse Technologies, a security firm in Washington, D.C., notes that someone with a clean record and registration as a trusted traveler would be a target for identity theft. And terrorists would have a substantial incentive to try to get themselves accepted as low-risk.
The fundamental problem, Gudaitis observes, is the "developmental nature of human beings." For example, the same terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks flew to their starting points. "During that flight they were not a threat," she notes. "So what was the pattern of profile, the behavioral change that occurred in an hour¿s time span? They disembarked and got on another plane."

From D Weddings Fall-Winter 2012
On their second date, Emily Witmore and Tyler Bethea saw an Elvis tribute concert at the Dallas Arboretum. It was one of those Thursday night shows the garden hosts each spring and summer, and the two shared a picnic supper and a few laughs on a blanket under the stars. What they couldn't have known then was that a couple of years later, they'd be back at the Arboretum, and Tyler would propose.On that night, they were meeting some friends for a show. Emily gave Tyler a hard time about his cargo shorts. She laughs as she remembers the night. "I didn't like the shorts but didn't realize he needed to wear them to hide the ring," she says. But hide the ring he did, until among the plants and flowers he asked Emily to be his wife. Their friends and family were waiting for them to celebrate in the concert area.
The couple were married eight months later, on June 4, 2011, at Marie Gabrielle. The main thing, Emily says, was to be married in a space of natural beauty, and the garden at Marie Gabrielle is delightful. Consider the restaurant and the Uptown address, and you have the ideal mix of urban location and indoor/outdoor accommodations. Beyond that, Emily didn't want anything too over the top, and she wanted to bring in some Indian elements (she grew up in India). "I started with a mood board and then contacted a wedding planner down the road," Emily says. The result was an evening of elegant simplicity, filled with sentimental touches, smiling faces, and lots of love."One of the things that was really special is that my dad did the ceremony," Emily says. "The other thing is that both of Tyler's grandmothers were battling cancer at the time, but they were both there, and they danced all night."Wearing a Monique Lhuillier gown, the bride carried one of her grandmother's brooches on her bouquet, a romantic cluster of white peonies. On one finger she wore an opal and diamond ring belonging to her mother. And as a nod to her childhood home, hand-carved wooden elephants from India joined pink peonies on the tables.
