Damon was born on Oct. 8, 1970 in Cambridge, MA and raised in nearby Newton. His father, Kent, was a stockbroker and his mother, Nancy, a professor of early childhood education at Lesley College. When Damon was two years old, his parents divorced, leaving him to be reared by his mother in a commune-style home back in Cambridge. Because of the open and creative environment, Damon developed a taste for artistic endeavors at an early age. Although he acted onstage in school plays and declared his intention to pursue that career when he enrolled at Harvard University, Damon found it difficult at first. He made his feature debut screen with a one-line role of Adam Storke's younger brother in "Mystic Pizza" (1988). In 1991, Damon ditched Harvard 12 credits shy of his bachelor's degree in English, choosing instead to co-star opposite Brian Dennehy as a medical school dropout in the made-for-cable movie, "Rising Son" (TNT, 1990).
With his acting career on the rise, he excelled as an anti-Semitic preppie in "School Ties" (1992), but later stated that the competition for the roles in his age range was fierce. Nearly all the young men in "School Ties" had auditioned for the co-starring role in "Scent of a Woman" (also 1992), but that plum role opposite an Oscar-winning Al Pacino went to Chris O'Donnell. In fact, Damon and O'Donnell often competed for roles, with the latter generally winning out. Meanwhile, Damon proved adequate as the narrator of Walter Hill's revisionist Western "Geronimo: An American Legend" (1993), only to be overshadowed by more seasoned actors, notably Gene Hackman and Wes Studi. On the other hand, he all but pulled the rug out from under Denzel Washington in "Courage Under Fire" (1996), offering a vivid turn as a guilt-ridden veteran of the Persian Gulf War tormented by an incident in battle. He even lost 40 pounds to achieve the gaunt, haunted look of the character.
When he was at Harvard, Damon began writing a script about a troubled mathematics genius with childhood buddy Affleck. They fashioned a screenplay that soon became the talk of Hollywood, with studios bidding competitively for the project. Old friend and director Kevin Smith did his best to get it noticed by the Weinstein brothers at Miramax, going to bat for his two buddies. In 1994, Castle Rock initially purchased the rights for over a half-million dollars in a pay-or-play deal. The story then focused on Will, a South Boston resident with superior intelligence whom the government attempts to recruit. A year later, with the project in turnaround, Miramax purchased the rights and the script evolved to focus more strongly on the emotional difficulties of the leading character. Before "Good Will Hunting" went before the cameras, however, Damon landed his first screen lead as a newly-minted crusading attorney in Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of "John Grisham's 'The Rainmaker'" (1997). The one-two punch of the two leading roles - undoubtedly assisted by the resulting mythology building for Damon and Affleck as writers and actors - solidified the actor's status as the so-called "It" boy of 1997, along with Affleck. Earning a Best Actor Academy Award nomination and sharing an Oscar win for Best Screenplay with Affleck only upped his profile and provided Academy Award history with one of its most fairy tale-like moments when, as their respective mothers sat in the audience, the two young men ran cheering to the stage, breathlessly thanking everyone in funny, quick succession. The twosome came off as simply normal guys who had struggled to make it in showbiz and finally hit the big time - something many people could relate to, thus making their win that much sweeter.
Director Stephen Spielberg tapped Damon to play the title role in the World War II epic "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), a film worthy of critical praise for its showy camerawork and impressively staged battle set pieces. As the soldier whose three brothers have been killed in action, the all-American looking Damon was in only the last third of the film, but still managed to make a significant impression. He fared less well as the poker hustler-turned-law student who agrees to help his ex-con best friend in "Rounders" (1998). In this redux of Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets" (1974), Damon relied on his winning personality, warm smile and good looks than on his acting ability, giving more of a movie star portrayal than a real performance. Repaying writer-producer-director Kevin Smith for his assistance on "Good Will Hunting," he joined Affleck to play a pair of fallen angels trying to get back into heaven in the oddly dark comedy, "Dogma" (1999). Damon followed by undertaking the more challenging title role of an American who decides to murder his traveling companion (Jude Law) and assume his identity in Anthony Minghella's well-crafted "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999), resulting in one of the actor's most intense performance. Newcomer Law received the lion's share of the spotlight after giving a charming performance, but it was Damon's obsessive, bespectacled killer who was the glue that held the beautifully shot film together.
Damon's career hit a brief but worrisome slump with the release of three creative and box office duds in a row: director Robert Redford's lethargic "The Legend of Bagger Vance," with Damon as a washed up golf pro opposite wise caddy Will Smith; "All the Pretty Horses," director Billy Bob Thornton's failed adaptation of novelist Cormac McCarthy's romantic Western; and a small supporting turn in Van Sant's by-the-numbers "Finding Forrester" (2000). The actor recaptured his A-list caché when he joined the all-star cast of Steven Soderbergh's remake of "Ocean's Eleven," playing pick-pocket and aspiring big-time thief, Linus Caldwell, in the popular hit - a role he returned to for the sequels "Ocean's Twelve" (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen" (2007). His next film was a complete about-face from a polished crowd-pleaser: Damon and Casey Affleck starred (and co-wrote) the largely improvised drama "Gerry" (2002), a little-seen effort directed by Van Sant about two men named Gerry who are stranded in the desert during a hiking mishap. Although an intriguing experiment, it proved to be unfit for mainstream audiences.
Over the years, Damon cultivated a reputation as one of the most affable movie actors in Hollywood and frequently collaborated with friends to give their projects a boost. His desire to help others get their careers off the ground led he and Affleck to create the HBO reality series, "Project: Greenlight" (2001-02), which documented and bankrolled untried aspiring filmmakers' attempts to create a motion picture to be released by Miramax; the show resulted in the films "Stolen Summer" (2002) and "The Battle of Shaker Heights" (2003), both executive produced by Affleck and Damon. The duo also created and produced the short-lived "Push, Nevada" (ABC, 2002-03), an interactive mystery show that gave viewers the chance to solve the crime and win $1 million. Damon also had a cameo in films by his friend, Kevin Smith, including "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back" (2001) and "Jersey Girl" (2004); and in films from his "Ocean's Eleven" collaborators, including "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" (2002); and up-and-coming filmmaker pals, such as the creators of the comedy "Eurotrip" (2004). As a voice actor, Damon lend his distinctive vocals to the films "Titan A.E." (2000), "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron" (2002), "The Majestic" (2001), and "Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train" (2004).
Demonstrating his increasing diversity and believability, Damon took on the role of the amnesiac über-spy Jason Bourne in the film adaptation of Robert Ludlum's sprawling espionage novel, "The Bourne Identity" (2002), a crackerjack thriller that did solid box office business and became a mega-hit on home video. The actor would reprise the role for the equally well-crafted but ultimately unsatisfying sequel "The Bourne Supremacy" (2004). Demonstrating a flair for goofball comedy, Damon delivered a wickedly funny turn on the small screen as Jack's scheming rival to join the gay men's chorus in a 2002 episode of the hit NBC sitcom "Will & Grace;" a role he reprised the following season. Damon next literallyjoined Greg Kinnear to play one-half of a pair of conjoined twins in the flawed but still winning comedy, "Stuck On You" (2003), a silly romp from the Farrelly Brothers that proved to be a rare miss for the filmmaking duo.
His next film cast him opposite Heath Ledger as a fictionalized version of Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, the Bavarian fairy tale spinners known as "The Brothers Grimm" (2005), reimagined by director Terry Gilliam as a pair of curse-removing con artists who are suddenly tasked with solving a genuine mystery that will ultimately inspire their famous stories. Damon showed a great deal of panache and charisma as practical scoundrel Wilhelm, but the story ultimately left him too little to do; the film itself lacked the spark and imagination expected of a Gilliam project. Behind the scenes, Damon was credited with frequently playing peacemaker between the embattled Gilliam and the films' producers, the Weinstein brothers. At the end of that year Damon delivered a fine turn in the complex potboiler, "Syriana" (2005), playing an oil industry analyst living a comfortable life in Geneva until the death of his son while visiting an oil-rich country, drives him to obsession with helping the country's benevolent prince (Alexander Siddig) raise his nation with sound business dealings.
Damon next joined an all-star cast that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg and Jack Nicholson for "The Departed" (2006), playing a hardened criminal employed by a crime syndicate who infiltrates the police while his counterpart (DiCaprio) on the force g s undercover in the mob. Based on the excellent Hong Kong action thriller, "Infernal Affairs" (2002) and directed by Martin Scorsese, "The Departed" earned a huge helping critical kudos prior to its release as well as several Academy Award wins. In "The Good Shepherd" (2006), a historical look at the beginnings of the CIA, Damon played Edward Wilson, a bright, idealistic Yale student recruited by the OSS to work intelligence during World War II. While later helping to form the CIA, he becomes disenfranchised during the heightened suspicions and deep-rooted paranoia of the Cold War. In 2007, Damon revived two favorite characters for a second time, appearing as Linus Caldwell in the much-improved "Ocean's Thirteen" (2007), and Jason Bourne for "The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007), who comes out of retirement to defeat arch rival, The Jackal, in a once-and-for-all showdown.
In 2009, Damon made a cameo appearance on the hit Hollywood sitcom, "Entourage" (HBO, 2004-2011), playing a hyper-real version of himself in an effort to pressure Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) into donating money to his real-life charity, OneXOne, only to grow more and more angry as Vince continues to avoid him. Back in features, he reunited with Steven Soderbergh to star in "The Informant!" (2009), a dark political comedy in which he portrayed Mark Whitacre, a former high-ranking executive at Archer Daniels Midland who blew the whistle on the company's illegal price-fixing scheme, only to find himself in trouble with the FBI himself when they discover he has embezzled $9 million. The role earned Damon a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in Musical or Comedy. He next starred in "Invictus" (2009), director Clint Eastwood's compelling sports drama about how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with South African rugby star Francois Pienaar (Damon) to unite their country. Damon earned his second Golden Globe nomination that year, this time for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture, as well as Screen Actors Guild and Oscar nominations in the supporting category.
After reteaming with Greengrass for the war thriller "Green Zone" (2010), Damon played a factory worker who communicates with the dead in Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter" (2010). Also that year, he delivered a fine performance as Texas Ranger La Boeuf, who joins a determined 14-year-old (Hailee Steinfeld) and a gruff bounty hunter (Jeff Bridges) in tracking down a notorious gunman (Josh Brolin) in the Coen Brothers' Oscar-nominated Western, "True Grit" (2010). In a rare small screen turn, Damon played the pilot boyfriend of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) in episodes of "30 Rock" (NBC, 2006-2013), which earned him an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series. He also served as the narrator for "Inside Job" (2010), the Academy Award-winning documentary that explored the root causes and high-level players involved in the 2008 economic crisis that revealed widespread corruption by U.S. financial services. The following year, Damon starred in "The Adjustment Bureau" (2011), a romantic thriller about a man fighting for his own destiny that was loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story "The Adjustment Team." The film proved to be a moderate hit with both critics and audiences.
Not done by a long shot, Damon had much more to offer that year. He reteamed with Soderbergh once more for a 21st-century update of the disaster movie with "Contagion" (2011), in which he played a father desperately trying to save what remains of his family after a deadly pandemic rapidly depopulates the earth. On a lighter note, he lent his voice to the microbial Bill the Krill, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery with his pal Will (Pitt) in director George Miller's animated sequel "Happy Feet Two" (2011). The industrious actor then capped off the year by starring in director Cameron Crowe's endearing comedy-drama "We Bought a Zoo" (2011), the story about a man and his family whose recently purchased home contains a fully stocked zoo that has fallen into disrepair. Clearly catching his breath, Damon had a relatively quiet 2012, with his only feature release of the year being "Promising Land," another thoughtful collaboration with Van Sant-this time focusing on the issue of fracking in a script that he co-wrote with fellow star John Krasinski. In 2013, Damon portrayed the gay lover of Liberace (Michael Douglas) in Soderbergh's esteemed HBO TV movie, "Behind the Candelabra." Shifting gears radically, he next endured futuristic slum life and being turned into a weapon of class warfare in the high-concept film "Elysium" (2013), remarkably the actor's first live-action outing to fall unquestionalbly into clear-cut science-fiction territory.

Five years later, after two feature shots, here I was getting $20,000 for another TNT movie 'The Good Old Boys'. Talk about a lesson in humility, somebody was obviously trying to tell me something." - Damon quoted in Details, September 1998 |
"It was surreal. 'Surreal' is an overused word. But it's the only way I can describe the whole thing. I had this Stepford-child glaze in my eyes the whole time. When Ben [Affleck] and I went up and we looked at the front row and saw Jack Nicholson and all those guys we revere, we froze. I mean, last year we were in Toronto, filming some 'Good Will Hunting' scenes, watching the awards with Gus [Van Sant], drinking beers and making smart-ass comments. And a year later we're in the front row and Billy Crystal's singing about us!" - Damon quoted in Details, September 1998 |
"To me this [celebrity] is all a statement about the power of the media. The press guys who met me last year know I wasn't turning anyone's head then. I hope I'm the same guy. I've been working straight. I haven't had the time to lose my mind yet." - Damon to the Boston Herald, July 21, 1998 |
"I wish I could say it was part of some master plan. I was just a guy with my hat in my hand, looking for work." - Damon on his casting in "Saving Private Ryan" to Entertainment Weekly, Sept. 18, 1998 |
"I don't have the natural talent to act the same way other people can do it. I'm always looking for every advantage I can get...you want every possible angle covered. So I do a lot of research." - Damon quoted in the San Francisco Examiner, July 19, 1998 |
"... it would be harder to go through this without Ben, To see it happen to him makes it more real, too. It's great to be able to talk to him about what's going on because so much of it is weird and trippy and a little unhealthy and creepy." - Damon quoted in the The Boston Globe, July 19, 1998 |
"I heard these rumors around Oscar time. The theory is that a certain camp was trying to undermine me and Ben because then they would have a better chance of winning the best screenplay Oscar. As for the rumor, it's insulting. Variety called me about it. I said, 'I don't care. I'm not going to comment on it. Go ask Woody Allen if he wrote his script.' It's offensive, especially since it was so well documented that Ben and I wrote the script." - Damon addressing the rumors that he and Affleck did not really write the script for "Good Will Hunting," quoted in The Chicago Sun-Times, July 19, 1998 |
"There's a whole group of us that stick together. It's like Actors Anonymous, and that's important because we all go through the same stuff. It's a life based on rejection, even at its highest level; you're never the first choice so I think it helps to have friends who understand the business. You can talk to them and they know where you're coming from." - Damon quoted in the London Times, Feb. 28, 1998 |
"A big shift in my life is not talking about personal things. I was raised in a family [in which] you always talked about whatever issues you were dealing with. My folks felt it was important for inner personal growth." "I've done a 180-degree turn, for I find myself being guarded. It's definitely a transition for me, but I think it's an occupational necessity." - Damon quoted in Daily News, Sept. 6, 1998 |
"I think he's right up there with the best actors I've worked with, absolutely. They're all different, of course. But what Matt has shown steadily is the courage to be himself." - stage director David Wheeler (who taught Damon at The American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA), quoted in Daily News, March 12, 1998 |
"There's something so apple-pie about him. You know he was the best-looking kid in his school, and won all the awards at track and field and dated the most popular girl." - director Anthony Minghella to the London Times, Feb. 28, 1998 |
"Matt has the gift and he's a writer in his own right. That gives him something special." - Francis Ford Coppola quoted in the London Times, Feb. 28, 1998 |
"We never fancied ourselves writers. And actually, it was a source of embarrassment for us when we sold the script, because a lot of our friends really are writers and can write a lot better than we can, except maybe for dialogue. Writing a script is different, though, because to me it's not really writing. It's acting, is what it is. We still don't call ourselves writers. We just kind of go, 'Well, I guess that worked.'" - Damon quoted in Interview magazine, December 1997 |
"I think I probably care too much what people think about me. That's probably...another reason I'm an actor. It's not a compliment to myself; it's just being somebody who wants to be all things to all people, and I actually found a way to do that. It'll still never happen. It's something I'm working on." - Damon quoted in Premiere, January 2000 |
"When you're famous, you get a lot more credit for simple things. I'm not the nicest guy in the world. I like to think of myself as a nice guy and maybe, compared to these others, I am. Being polite to people and being professional doesn't take much energy." - Damon quoted in USA Today, Dec. 11, 2003 |
"This is the most insecure profession. Everyone is on shaky ground, I don't care who they are. Look at all the people who were stars 10 and 20 years ago. Not many of them are around. That doesn't mean you can't act. It just depends on what you're in it for. And if you're in it to be a movie star, you're f***ed. Because no matter who you are, that sh*t will go away, I guarantee you." - Damon to EW, July 23, 2004 |
"I can imagine growing old with Ben. My longest relationship with a woman lasted 2 1/2 years, which is short when I consider how long I've been friends with him." - Damon to Brigitte Magazine, November 2004 |
"I don't hold myself to some higher standard of behavior. You don't have to do a lot to be seen as nice. I guess some of these people must be such rampant pricks that people are amazed when you say hello. I don't know why people like me, and I don't know if I want to know. That might be the kiss of death." - Damon to Entertainment Weekly, Aug. 3, 2007 |
Damon was named the "Sexiest Man Alive" in 2007 by People magazine. |

We're Jewish and haven't perpetrated the myth of Santa at all. My daughter (almost 5)has reasoned for herself that "Santa is just a man who dresses up in a suit" and kind of sees it as an extension of Halloween. She gets that Santa brings presents.
We haven't broached the topic of WHY people celebrate Christmas. But she knows that we celebrate Hannukah and she understands some of the basic tenets of the holiday. She is mostly looking forward to food and the presents she knows her parents give her.
My dilemna? A lot of the kids she knows DO believe in Santa. And after an incident last year where a parent freaked on me because S told her kid that "Santa is just a man dressed up in a suit" I need ideas of how to explain it to her so that she doesn't blow it for the kids who believe.
Any thoughts and ideas?
Wow, I don't know how to
Wow, I don't know how to handle this one from the non-Christmas-celebrating perspective. I'm pretty sure I know how I'll handle it with H, although I'm sure she will be the rain on other kids' parade. But we celebrate Christmas (and probably Solstice, this year. Pretty sure I'm swinging more pagan at this point than I have in the past). Hmm...I'm thinking about this one.
24/MN. Queer, veg, single, AP mama to DD1.
25/MN and WA. Queer, veg, single, AP mama to DD2.5.
I would tell your dd that
I would tell your dd that santa is a character that some people like to believe is real.
Grown ups know that santa isn't real, but some kids do not, and some kids get really excited over santa, and not to tell those kids that santa isn't real, because that would be hurtful.
I know that little kids have a hard time grasping not to tell something like that, but with our kids, we have two that are in the know, and two who are firm believers, and we told the other two that spoiling their fun or making fun of them for believing is mean. The two that don't believe enjoy being able to pretend that they do, and keeping up the myth for the younger ones. It makes them feel like they are helping.
Kids are going to be kids, and you cannot monitor everything that they say, and it seems like most kids find out from other kids.
I don't think it matters, but we are not Christians, and we don't associate Bible stuff with our holiday celebrations, and we tend to do a bit from all the winter holidays, and we like the santa bit, so we do it up.
Truthfully Sunny...
I wouldn't worry about it. You can ask her to not talk about Santa with others..but how is she going to see that at her age? Why should she have to propigate a myth contrary to her family's beliefs? Santa doesn't exist. It isn't like she is going around saying Jesus doesn't exist (which is questionable too, but much more flammable).
If any parent comes at you this year freaked out that she has ruined their kid's christmas, tell them to chill out. ;)
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just emphasize that people think and believe in all different things. I love that S told her friend that Santa was just a man - that's awesome!
What? He's not real?
I'm never sure why people don't want others too believe in him, the tooth fairy or the easter bunny? Eventually all the little kids grow up and find out the truth. It's not for you to worry if your kid breaks the spell. If the other wants to believe, your dd won't be able to change that.
Sadly, soon enough, all little fairy tales in our kids lives are exposed as fake.
Well, she does go around saying "God is a space alien" which has also got me some interesting comments from the parents at her pre-school.
4 is sure an existential age!
I just gently reminded her that some of her friends do not understand YET that Santa is just a man in a suit and that they are just as excited about getting gifts from Santa as she is about exchanging gifts with our family.
she is a genius!
if we only had a nickel
for the words that come out of their mouths on the playground!

Mission StatementThe Student Managed Investment Funds ("the Investment Fund") shall be established to provide students of the Peter J. Tobin College of Business (TCB) at St. John's University (SJU) with practical investment management experience. The principal and the investment returns will be invested and reinvested. A portion of the investment returns could be used to support other educational activities at the TCB.
Executive SummaryInvestment management is an important segment of the global financial markets. The industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. The Student Investment Fund provides the opportunity for TCB to join other elite schools such as New York University and Ohio State University that offer students real money management experience. Such real-world investing will result in students being better prepared for careers in financial services. It will greatly enhance the finance curriculum and improve our external image as a leader in finance education.
The prerequisite for this special Asset Management course is Corporate Finance. Select students will be given the opportunity to participate in the management of the portfolio, subject to the investment policies and guidelines of the Investment Fund, approval of investment recommendations by the Investment Fund's Investment Committee, and oversight by the Supervisory Board.
Pedagogical Objectives
All students will be expected to be active participants in the overall investment management process, to contribute to the various administrative tasks that are a part of modern portfolio management, and to engage in selective educational outreach to student clubs and other groups.

So it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm probably the most pussied out little girl now than I've ever been before. Yes, I do have some standards and principles, which I think everybody should have, but I didn't realize how scared I actually am of getting fucked up, psycho hurt again and therefore pushing everybody away from me, including my friends and family and only depending on myself. In all this time I've used my standards and principles as the main reason to push people away…. not always though – mostly when they made me feel again.
It started about 3 years ago, when I met the love of my life. You know, when you just feel that this person is the one you want to have little babies with. He's the one who really completes you, makes you feel rock solid and strong and more free than ever. Feeling free to do anything you ever thought of doing. Things you never thought you were able to do. This feeling was mutual.
To make it short it all ended because the bastard cheated on me while he was on exchange in Asia. And he didn't even cheat on me with a beautiful asian girl (if you have to cheat in a another country why not try something new and local, right?), but instead he had an affair with a boring, typical Scandinavian girl. Discovering this infidelity changed me for life.
So…. I've been through lots of crazy shit, but this just changed me more than anything else in my life and without knowing, I just stopped feeling. From that day I lost my entire identity and didn't have any desire of getting it back.
Now 3 years later I'm trying so hard to feel again. To give myself the chance to feel. Just feel. It doesn't matter if I feel sad or happy, but that I just fucking feel goddammit. And it's okay if someone else makes me feel. It's okay to rely on other people to help me on my path to "myself" again – whatever that is. For 2 years I was convinced that I had to find my passion – my motivation to live – through myself, but that's just a load of crap. I've achieved a lot on my own by now and I think I'm capable to achieve anything I want, but for what use is it for if it's only for me? I can't only use me for a shit. I don't inspire me, I get inspired and motivated by others. Things around me, people around me. That's just how it is and it's pathetic to think that you can fully yourself… by yourself only.
And for the record: I know this post is raped deeply by the use of "feel" – but that was actually the purpose of it. Just so you know why I annoyed the fuck out of you by repeating myself.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sue Rogers
"This spirit takes some waiting time, but if you make it during blueberry season, you can enjoy the taste of fresh berries in the dead of winter!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup white sugar
2 cups vodka
3 cups fresh blueberries
Not only is this recipe simple and delicious, but also makes a wonderful gift item!
Pretty Strong! No one liked it.
29 Ratings
I don't know why people think this too strong. Hello! It's VODKA, not fruit punch. I made a huge quantity (1 1/2 gallons) for a buffet cookout. I provided fresh lemonade for those that wanted to "cut" the blueberry flavor and alcohol content. Of about 90 attendees there was not one person who didn't think the straight or mixed liquor was anything less than fabulous. I used less sugar but that was only because I didn't have enough. FYI, the longer it sits, the sweeter it gets.
Makes a great holiday gift and interesting martinis. Thanks!
Wow! If I could give this 10 stars I would! This was sweet and wonderful. I'm a light weight and didn't feel that this was too strong. Guests raved over it. I'm running out today to buy more blueberries so that I can make a triple batch for our upcoming Halloween party. Try this one - you won't be disappointed! Thanks for the recipe!!!
What a nice smooth liquer! I used Absolute vodka, and let it stay in the fridge for about 8 weeks. I found the light red color to be pretty. The finished product is a tad sweet. This will be appreciated on cold New England evenings. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Try with less sugar and fewer huckleberries!
I chilled this and served it straight up. It was outstanding!!! Definately sweet, but I didn't think it was too sweet. I don't know why people think it's too strong though, it is vodka, what do you expect? I will definately make this again. The hardest part was waiting 2 months to try it.

Can an iPhone 4S with a bumper/skin be charged on the iPhone dock of this device? Or do I have to use the USB port for charging?

1 Answer from the Community
I have a thinner plastic case on my iPhone 3GS and it plugs into Dock 1 without problem. My wife has a thicker Otterbox on her iPhone 4 and it doesn't quite fit into Dock 1 so she uses Dock 2 or the USB if she has her iPad on there as well. I would suggest going to a retailer to see if they have them on display and plug your phone into it to see if it fits. Just note that sometimes there are little dock pieces that fit in there for smaller devices so make sure it isn't in there when you try to plug your phone in.

Hot in the city: Sydney is likely to swelter on Thursday with temperatures predicted to reach 40 degrees. Photo: Steven Siewert
Extreme unseasonal weather is expected across much of NSW on Thursday, prompting fire authorities to issue "extreme fire danger" warnings for major populated areas.
Sydney is forecast to reach 37 degrees - 15 above the long-term average - and other areas may climb to 40, with winds gusting as high as 70 kilometres per hour in some regions.
Sydney has already posted record warmth for the year to date, the winter and September
"These conditions mean there is potential for the rapid spread of fire," Shane Fitzsimmons, Rural Fire Service Commissioner, said.
The warning, one level before the "catastrophic" level, applies to the Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter, Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions.
A total fire ban, Sydney's fifth so far this spring, is expected to be set for Thursday.
If the forecast top is reached in Sydney, it would be the warmest day since last January 18's blistering 45.8 degrees - the city's hottest on record.
Thursday's maximum may also challenge Sydney's current early-season high of 37.4 degrees, reached on October 4, 1942, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
The city's current October record is 38.2 degrees set in 2004.
Sydney has already posted record warmth for the year to date, the winter and September.
With little rain since mid-June and the three-month outlook pointing to warmer and drier than average conditions, much of NSW is now primed for a tough fire season.
As of late Tuesday, the state had 37 fires burning, 10 of them yet to be contained.
None of those 10 blazes are in the regions expecting extreme fire danger conditions on Thursday, an RFS spokesman said.
The abnormally warm weather is similar to recent bursts, said Blair Trewin, senior climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology.

The California Public Employees' Retirement System, the nation's largest public pension, makes frequent appearances in Legal affiliate The Am Law Litigation Daily as a lead plaintiff in securities class actions. But late Tuesday, CalPERS made an unprecedented move in a very different venue: the municipal bankruptcy of San Bernardino, Calif. In an 11-page filing, CalPERS' lawyers at K&L Gates asked a federal bankruptcy judge in Riverside, Calif., for permission to sue San Bernardino for falling behind its contributions for municipal employee benefits.

By Automobile Magazine 12/7/2011
A thorough refresh for 2012 has injected the C-class lineup with a fresh look, one new body style, two new engines, and a longer list of safety features. After a six-year absence, the four-cylinder engine has returned to the U.S.-market in the C250. The C350's new direct-injected 3.5-liter V-6 provides a 34-hp bump over last year's engine. All C-class models have been face-lifted, and the addition of a two-door coupe brings a more aggressive stance...more
Mercedes-Benz's smallest car offers a wide range of power, equipment, and price, spanning the frugal C250 to the snortin' C63 AMG. As a driver's car, the C-class doesn't deliver the same all-around balance that makes the BMW 3-series so great. However, Mercedes places a larger emphasis on luxury and refinement, and it shows. Regardless of model, every C-class has a quiet cabin, a composed ride, excellent build quality, and an assertive but unobtrusive powertrain. It offers comfortable seats; a slick, three-spoke, flat-bottomed steering wheel; and a new 5.8-inch display that integrates HD Radio, Bluetooth audio streaming, and a USB port in the center console. The downsized C250 achieves a respectable 21/31 mpg fuel economy rating, but the smallish 1.8-liter displacement means the four-cylinder isn't as potent as BMW's new 240-hp turbo four. Buyers who demand all-wheel drive are restricted to the C300 sedan, which uses a 228-hp V-6. The C350's direct-injected 3.5-liter revs eagerly and accelerates quickly when the right pedal is planted. All C-classes come with a smooth-shifting seven-speed automatic, but it's not quite as quick as the eight-speed gearboxes offered by some competitors. While the proletarian C-class models may cede some performance to the BMW 3-series, there's one big exception: the C63 AMG, which packs a normally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 that charges off the line with an authority that is absent in BMW's M3. The high-performance BMW boasts a more neutral and more tactile chassis, but the Mercedes is just as fun around a track.
Drive: Rear-wheel, 4-wheel Trim levels: C250, C300 4Matic, C350, C63 AMG Body styles: Coupe, sedan, 4- or 5-passenger Engines: 1.8L turbo I-4, 201 hp, 229 lb-ft 3.0L V-6, 228 hp, 221 lb-ft 3.5L V-6, 302 hp, 273 lb-ft 6.2L V-8, 451/481 hp, 443 lb-ft Transmission: 7-speed automatic Passenger volume: (coupe/sedan) 80.5/88.2 cu ft Cargo space: (coupe/sedan) 11.7/12.4 cu ft
ABS; front, side, front pelvis, side curtain, and driver's knee air bags; traction and stability control; tire-pressure monitors; and drowsiness alert are standard. Automatic high-beams, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, swiveling headlights, parking sensors, and rear side air bags are optional.
All: 31-21 mpg city/19-31 mpg highway
