About this paper
Proactively identifying complex fraud schemes is only possible when agencies use a multifaceted, anti-fraud detection approach that combines sophisticated data integration with a hybrid analytical approach. Hybrid analytics empowers law enforcement to go on the offensive with fraud operators – and do so without disrupting the efficient and timely delivery of their services. Using factual fraud stories for illustration, this paper explores how a law enforcement or government agency can use multiple analytical methods to proactively identify fraud schemes in their infancy – and spare federal taxpayers billions of dollars in benefits payouts each year.

Most visits to St Lucia are trouble-free, but visitors should take common-sense precautions against robbery and theft. Isolated areas, such as beaches, should be avoided after dark. Hurricane season is generally from June to November.
Local Customs
It is an offence for anyone to dress in camouflage clothing. Homosexuality is illegal.
Due to its popularity as an offshore banking location, business dress in St Lucia requires a level of formality.

Troubled Poquonnock Bridge Fire District to vote on hiring lawyer
Groton - The Poquonnock Bridge board of directors will decide Tuesday whether to retain the Providence law firm representing the Central Coventry Fire District in receivership in Rhode Island.
Poquonnock Bridge Fire District board President Alan Ackley said a special directors meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Groton Senior Center to decide whether to pay $10,000 to retain Chace, Ruttenberg & Freedman of Providence.
"Instead of running out of money and then looking for a lawyer, we thought it was best to deal with that before that situation occurs," he said. The firm is expected to advise the board on a potential request for bankruptcy, which in Connecticut would require approval of the governor.
A petition was also being circulated in the fire district in support of the board cutting costs. One copy at Ackley's Package Store had 47 signatures on Saturday, though it was not immediately clear where the petition started or how many copies were being distributed. The petition asks the fire district board to use "any and all means of providing for a more efficient and less costly fire district."
The fire district board is expected to vote Tuesday to dismantle the box alarm system in town and to hear from Fire Chief Todd Paige about the process for closing one of the district's two fire stations. Box alarms are located on streets and at businesses to provide a direct link to dispatch.
Also on Tuesday night, the Groton Town Council has scheduled a potential executive session to hear from town attorney Eric Callahan about a document related to "the current and future status of the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District," and to get his legal advice. The council meets as a Committee of the Whole at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Town Hall Annex.
The council has also asked to meet with the fire district boards and chiefs that cover different parts of town. Councilors want to hold this meeting before they distribute pilot money to the districts to protect town-owned property.
Poquonnock Bridge board member Peter Legnos said he doesn't know why the councilors want to meet with the district boards, but he believes it's appropriate that they get legal advice.
"I think they need to find out what's going on and what their liabilities are," he said. Poquonnock Bridge has a potential liability of about $11 million in unfunded pensions and a union contract it can't cover with its current budget, he said.
"The sooner, I believe, that we can get both sides to the middle to negotiate, the quicker this will be taken care of and be better for everybody," Legnos said.
In the meantime, he said, "There are options for bankruptcy and receivership and they really need to be vetted by the attorneys."

Author Notes: An Italian Spring Roll? When I saw David Chang's recipe in Nov09 Food & Wine, I was reminded of my grandmother's clever use of Pepperidge Farm Extra Thin White bread for a quick appetizer. She filled them with cream cheese and olives. Instead, I used this wrap as a way to hold together gooey melted cheese and proscuitto. In any case, it's the sauce that makes this ham & cheese amazing. All inspired by Marcella Hazan's Little Veal Bundles. —MrsWheelbarrow
Serves: serves 6 as a first course
Italian Spring Rolls
slices extra thin white bread
tablespoons very soft butter
slices thinly sliced proscuitto
slices bel paese cheese
Grapeseed or other tasteless oil, for sauteing the rolls
Dipping Sauce
tablespoons unsalted butter
jar or can of anchovies, drained
tablespoons olive oil
cups canned Italian tomatoes, drained and chopped
cups Marsala
tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
Liberal grinds of fresh pepper
- Make the rolls. Cut the crusts off the bread (good for bread crumbs) and using a rolling pin, roll out until they are smooshed and 4"x4"
- Spread butter thinly from end to end on one side of the bread.
- Layer one piece of cheese and one piece of proscuitto on the buttered side of the bread, keeping the edges clear. Tightly roll this all up into a "spring roll," using the butter to help press the roll closed on the ends and along the seal. Make up the rest of the rolls in the same way and chill until ready.
- Make the sauce. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and saute the tomatoes. Cook until it's breaking down and nice and saucy – about 15 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the anchovies. Mash it all together until you can't really tell there are anchovies involved.
- Add the tomatoes to the anchovies. Stir it all up til it's bubbling, add a liberal grinding of black pepper, add the Marsala & parsley.
- Reduce to a nice dipping sauce consistency. Taste and season, if necessary.
- Meanwhile, heat 1" of olive oil in a deep skillet. When the oil is good and hot, gently brown the rolls until toasty on the outside and gooey inside. Let them rest for just a moment before cutting into pieces for serving.
- Serve plated as a first course. Cut the roll in half, on the diagonal. Puddle the sauce on the plate, placing the two halves of the roll on top.

Drink Up: Scientist Develops Hangover-Free Booze
The great American boozehound may soon be able to over indulge in a ferocious night of drunken debauchery and not have to be concerned about suffering from any of the negative consequences typically associated with this level of raucous behavior.
That's because David Nutt, a ground breaking British neuro-psychopharmacologist says he has developed a new brand of synthetic alcohol that people may be able to consume without worrying about the less than desirable aspect of hitting the bottle - the dreaded hangover.
Nutt says that the experimental alcohol surrogate compound is a safer version of alcohol that stimulates specific subsystems of the neurotransmitter system, which makes a person feel as relaxed as if they had just consumed a few stiff drinks.
"So in theory we can make an alcohol surrogate that makes people feel relaxed and sociable and remove the unwanted effects, such as aggression and addictiveness," said Nutt.
The largest selling point of this boozing revelation is that the synthetic compound appears to eliminate hangovers, making it less likely for raging alcoholics to use the fact that they got diaper drunk and passed out in a pile of their own vomit as an excuse to miss work.
However, we are almost certain that Nutt's alcohol compound will come with some serious adverse reactions. In the past, Nutt has experimented with alternatives for benzodiazepines, commonly found in the prescription drugs Valium and Xanax, which reportedly caused users to lose their ability to stand on their own two feet.
Yet, Nutt says he believes his latest discovery provides substantial evidence that suggests drinkers will soon be able to tie-one-on and then sober up when needed.
"I have carried out research on replacing ethanol in 'alcoholic' drinks with a safer alternative, such as a benzodiazepine; ideally these drinks would be impossible to get drunk on, producing a moderate buzz with no increase in effects at higher doses, and could be switched off at the end of the night with a 'sober pill,'" he said.
So, does this mean we could soon all be a part of society where drunkards are able to push themselves into frightening levels of excess and then pop a magical pill that will somehow render them stone sober? Will this newfound mad alcoholic science somehow create a harmless environment for even the most rotten drunken degenerate to safely operate a motor vehicle after a wild night of binge drinking?
Well, while Nutt may have the answers to developing hangover-free booze, he is not exactly receiving much support from the British alcohol industry. Instead, he is attempting to secure some private investors to assist him in the expansion of his idea.
Unfortunately, we don't have time to wait around for the hangover-free version... and it's beer thirty somewhere!

Recently I have just wanted to be selfish for a while and let others fend for themselves. I am tired. And then the song "Lean On Me" cycles up on the iPod. That is not funny Lord. The lyrics sung by Bill Withers talks about being there for others. Life happens, John Lennon famously said, when you are making other plans. Life has been happening to us in recent months.
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I have been thinking a lot about community. I have, to be honest, had many moments recently when I wondered if living in messy community with messy people is worth it. One of my dearest friends is Dr. Gil Herren. He used to tell me stories about working the emergency room at a Memphis hospital and how much he loved it. I could not understand how he could love seeing the pain, suffering and evil that a big city ER could produce. But as he spoke it became clear why he did it. Dr.Gil could make a difference in some people's lives. Not all to be sure. But for some his expertise, skill and compassion might save them. Recently I have surmised that I am heading in the relational footsteps of my friend.
I find myself at least attempting to man the "ER" of a very small and sporadically effective grace hospital. I am drawn to the dysfunctional. My heart goes out to the wounded lambs. But I will tell you that I struggle with the cost of walking in honest relationship with people. It is hard. I have come to understand why legalism is so much easier than grace. Legalism allows me to assess the situation and then apply a verse or assign a task. If that person rejects that Biblical admonition or task then legalism allows me to withdraw because they are disobedient. Grace does not give me that option. Grace demands that I move toward the struggle of my brother or sister and not away in judgment. No wonder grace is a tough sell. But like my friend Gil I do it because I hope I can help a few.
Grace wears me out and lifts me up. Grace is frustrating and exhilarating. My old nature screams that people who make bad decisions over and over get what they "deserve". They don't "deserve" to be pursued and loved and restored. They made their bed now let them lay in it. But there is a small quiet voice in my heart that tells me that they have value. That they are loved by their Creator. And that voice asks who am I to decide who "deserves" anything?
A quote by Pastor Paul Donnan says it far better than I ever could.
Grace doesn't treat us better than we deserve. It treats us without the slightest reference to what we deserve. Grace ceases to be grace if God withdraws it upon any human failure. If Grace is in any way tied to something you do, then it is no longer a gift but a wage, and that's not grace.
And, to be selfish, the lyrics of Bill Withers tells me why it is in my own best interest to give grace willingly.
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Yep. It is just a matter of time until I will be begging for grace for some stupid action or word. Paul knew that was true and reminded the Galatian Church.
Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived. (Galatians 6, The Message)
Why are we so willing to receive grace and not extend it? Maybe the next lyric has a clue.
Please swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill
Pride. Pride causes us to cover our needs because that would show weakness. Pride tells us to wear a mask of false joy so that others won't know our shame and sin. Our Father in Heaven designed this journey to be lived in community. God knows that we need Him and we need one another. Healthy community is not unlike two parents being the healthiest community for children. Sometimes a child needs his or her father and sometimes only the mother can touch their need. In the same way there are times when only Abba Father can comfort my soul but at other times I need the community of fellow believers to get through.
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Yes it is hard to walk with the wounded. Yes it is frustrating to watch messy people make the same mistakes over and over. Yes it is tiring to give grace to the needy. But my heart's desire remains the same. These words to the Church at Corinth wrap it up nicely.
So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4, The Message)

About bernie mev.
The name Bernie Mev is known for being the master of woven footwear. Bernie Mev started out in the 1960s with his original factory located in the Bronx. At that time he was making shoes for all the big department stores and major retailers. In 2000, Bernie met his match, a man named Itamar Carmi who was as fresh and energetic as Bernie. Itamar owned Medici Shoe Stores, a privately owned retail business with five locations in the New York area that specialized in imported Italian labels. When Bernie and Itamar came together they soon produced shoes in accordance with their shared high standards of excellence. Itamar quickly brought a vision of his to life; it was a groundbreaking technology in the form of an expandable, handwoven memory foam footbed. It included innovative color combinations and patterns in a wide array of shoe styles from high wedges to ballerina flats. Bernie Mev footwear is taking the shoe industry by storm with its unique designs and extremely comfortable shoes. Itamar and his wife personally choose all of the fabrics and design all of the patterns. The rest of the recipe includes a hands-on management style, a great office staff, and a crackerjack team of sales associates. "We have designed a whole new line for our 2014 collection," said Rachel Carmi. "It's definitely Bernie Mev at its best." Every woman needs a pair of Mevs in her closet!

How a CHANEL Jacket is made!3:45 PM
30 comments
I love that you posted this. I remember learning that you're not just paying for the prestige of the name but the expertise of craftsmanship. The designers do great work but its the workers that really use their magic.ReplyDelete
Tailoring and Couture were mandatory courses for my degree. We used only the traditional methods. I made a jacket in one of those classes and the fit like a dream.ReplyDelete
I am now in need of another jacket and though I love the fit I don't see myself spending that much time to make another and it's not that I would not ever want do it again, it's just very time consuming.
And it was in these classes that I learned the difference between couture and high end ready-to-wear
Erica thanx...ReplyDelete
Great video - thanks for sharing it with us :)ReplyDelete
I took a 4-day class with Susan Khalje in 2009 and one of the ladies in th class worked on a channel jacket, of course she was unable to finish the jacket in four days of sewing from 9am - 5pm. The amount of hand work that went into the jacket before the jacket was sewn was tremendous. So I know how much work goes into creating a Channel jacket. The video is great. Thanks for posting.ReplyDelete
One day I'll make something like this. When I will have enough skills.ReplyDelete
Thank you for posting this video!
Wow great video! Although I suspect what might really be happening is that they are making a sample for Chanel Boutique RTW factory production. The use of those two industrial machines tips me off to that, especially the 2nd mahine that is making buttonholes. If this was being made for a cusotmer in the haute couture side of the house there would be much more hand sewing. Still it's amazing to see it come together and the finished jacket is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this post. I have saved the Threads article with hopes of creating a jacket too. I even went to Chanel in NYC just to get a look and the workmanship was incredible! Of course my husband was horrified at the price tag because he had know idea - he even started backing up when I showed him the price tag.LOLReplyDelete
Wow, great video Erica...thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Yes Phyllis, This is Boutique RTW Factory production. The industrial machines, the use of fusible tape, and machined buttonholes are the big tip-offs.
But hey, the production work is still outstanding, and the finished jacket beautiful! And regardless, Couture or RTW Boutique...I still will never be able to afford either one ;)
Thank You EricaReplyDelete
Great video.ReplyDelete
I decided to make a Chanel knock off for my final in one of my advance pattern classes a few quarters back.
Oh, and I decided to make it for my plus-size mother who lives in another state!
Worse thing I ever done on my life!
I got an "A" in the class and for the project, but I'm pretty sure I had an ulcer or two at the end.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I absolutely adore this specific jacket and keep it as inspiration and motivation for my pending Chanel jacket project. I see that they didn't quilt this jacket, nor did they fuse anything other than the hems and neckline. This is very interesting. I think my boucle fabric could benefit from some stabilizer in the curved seams at the very least.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!!!!:)ReplyDelete
We have knitted versions of it in our fall collection:)ReplyDelete

Several people have asked if I connected with my new best environmentalist friend and eastern Oregon farmer Doug Behrends at the Tulare farm show.
Unfortunately, Doug and I did not connect at World Ag Expo as he hoped we would — as expressed in our e-mail exchange a few weeks back.
I tried to catch his eye. I had Monsanto dollars sticking out of every pocket of my jeans and coat. One morning it was chilly, so I stuck Monsanto-issued $100 bills under the edge of my cap and used them as flaps over my ears like those ski caps so popular now.
I was carrying my digital camera and a notebook. Even had a name tag on, but the learned and articulate Mr. Behrends did not approach me to correct the error of my ways about dastardly Roundup Ready alfalfa and other transgenic monsters of the fields. I was very interested to hear his science about how Bt corn is the reason for honey bee Colony Collapse Disorder. I was curious how a naturally occurring pesticide, Bt, that only kills lepidopterous pests, can kill a different species like a honey bee.
Alas, our meeting did not happen. In all fairness to Mr. Behrends, I was only at the Western Farm Press booth in Pavilion C for about an hour total during the two days I was at World Ag Expo. He may have come by the booth. However, if he did, he did not leave his card or cell phone number, so I could catch up with him on the showgrounds.
I truly appreciate getting responses to my rantings in this space. I am only sorry I cannot tell you of a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Behrends. I had a roll of toilet paper in my bag for taking notes, so I could remember all he elucidated to me. (Remember, he said I wrote my commentaries on paper normally found in bathrooms.)
I did receive a nice e-mail from a person who said she enjoyed my exchange with Mr. Behrends. She got the impression that we were just bantering back and forth in a joking manner and if we met, we'd probably be "good friends."
"I'm dying to know if you became friends or if you stole his horse and lit his buggy on fire," she wrote jokingly. (I accused Mr. Behrends of being so far behind the times that I expected him to travel by horse and buggy to the farm show.)
This writer took my exchange with Mr. Behrends as humorous — a bit light-hearted. I appreciate that. I try not to be mean-spirited in my exchange with all my radical environmentalist friends.
However, I am as serious as a heart attack when I defend agricultural biotechnology. Those who attack it have an agenda and that is to destroy this new technology for reasons I still do not fully comprehend. The leaders of the anti-biotech movement are anti-corporate America and many are basically anti-society. I don't know if Mr. Behrends fits that later characterization. As a farmer, I would hope not. I would hope he is simply ill-informed, yet passionate in his opinion of biotech crops.
People have a right to their views in America, but they do not have the right, in my opinion, to manipulate the courts and the mass media into believing the blatant misinformation they spew.
To me it is like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Is that free speech or a criminal act? I believe the efforts of the San Francisco group leading the court fight to keep RR alfalfa off the market, border on criminal action. It certainly is using the court system to bolster an agenda and not protect anyone or anything.
Every argument they have tossed at the federal judge in the Roundup Ready alfalfa case is ludicrous. Environmental impact from cross-pollination on seed and forage fields of Roundup Ready alfalfa is no different from the environmental impact that has existed forever in conventional seed and forage production.
No one has filed suit to make USDA do an environmental impact assessment on the contamination of one conventional alfalfa variety seed field with one miles away. If a Roundup Ready alfalfa seed or forage field can contaminate a non-transgenic field, why aren't these farmer-protecting environmentalists concerned about Joe Blow Seed Company Propriety Variety 1234 contaminating Sam Smith Seed Company Propriety 5678 seed or forage field close by?
By golly, when I buy Variety 1234, I don't want any of the 5678 traits, dormancy characteristics or anything else in my 1234. Protect me Center for Food Safety.
This anti-biotech movement's impact is far greater than dollars, as in the millions being lost by preventing the use of a new technology that offers huge, positive environmental impacts and significant added income for alfalfa growers who want to grow RR alfalfa.
It goes to the issue of feeding and caring for people in undeveloped countries. It goes to the issue of biotech Golden Rice containing high levels of Vitamin A to prevent 500,000 children from going blind still not being available to the world.
Yes, I would have been courteous to Mr. Behrends had we crossed paths at Tulare. I would not have burned his wagon or stolen his horse. However, I will not swallow one drop of the anti-biotech bologna arguments he or others like him gush out.

Chris Pratt is one proud papa.
Since welcoming his first child with wife, actress Anna Faris, the actor has been busy basking in baby bliss with his son Jack.
"Oh, God, he is just … he's amazing. I love him so much," the new dad, 33, raved during a Wednesday appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. "He's just a ball of joy. He's terrific."
The 4-month-old has been hitting his milestones — he recently started laughing, shares the Zero Dark Thirty star — which is reason to celebrate as baby boy has completely bounced back after being born over two months early.
"He was born nine weeks premature, so we spent a month in the intensive care unit with him," Pratt says of his son, who was named after Faris' father.
"But he's totally healthy now. He is just so perfect and I love him so much."

There's a reason that women make up more than 25% of franchise business owners.
Buying a franchise is like starting your own company, but with less hassle.
You're working with an existing business model, using an established name, and getting corporate training and support.
Tracy Panase is a franchisee with Just Between Friends, which sells maternity and kids' clothes and gear on consignment. The 112 franchises are 92% woman-owned, the company says.
While franchise start-up costs and time commitments vary according to each business, here's a close-up of Panase's experience, after three years.
How it works: Franchisees pay $12,900 for Just Between Friends—plus up to $20,000 for marketing, venue rental, insurance and other fees.
About four months of planning and marketing go into a sales event that lasts two days to one week, Panase says.
Franchisees rent the venues—often huge sports complexes—find consignors who bring the goods and hire event coordinators who help run the show. And they pay a royalty to the franchisor to the tune of 3% of gross sales.
What's in it for the franchisee? Hard work and cash. "We pay a lot of attention to detail, which requires time," says Panase. "But we've been able to accelerate our growth exponentially."
Three years after getting into the business, Panase and her business partner gross upwards of $100,000 per event. Not bad for a part-time gig.

A statistical adventure
Iowa State graduate Cynthia Clark says she was surprised when she found out she was a recipient of the Iowa State Distinguished Alumni Award. Of course, those who know of her work in statistics as the administrator of N.A.S.S. (the National Agricultural Statistics Service in the U.S. Department of Agriculture) weren't surprised at all. They may, however, be amazed to hear how Clark ended up in her field -- because, as it turns out, it was by accident.
When Clark came to Iowa State, she wanted to be an academic mathematician. When she discovered there wasn't much of a job market for this field in the 1970s, she changed her path -- to statistics. Since then, Clark has devoted most of her career to government service by working toward the collection, advancement and analysis of national statistical systems. Her work has had a direct impact on national measurements such as unemployment rates, labor force statistics, poverty rates, agricultural production, educational attainment, environmental quality and more.
During her adventurous career, Clark has worked for the U.S. Census Bureau, N.A.S.S., the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, the Office of Management and Budget, and, in London, for the U.K.'s Office for National Statistics. She credits Iowa State for helping her career take off. Said Clark, "My Iowa State education introduced me to doctoral-level research and my ultimate career managing research in several large official survey organizations. I am proud to have received two degrees from Iowa State -- a master's and a doctoral degree."
Now that Clark is retired from U.S. government services, she is a sought-after speaker and consultant and couldn't be prouder to be an Iowa State graduate. After all, Iowa State helped her find her path -- just like we can help you find yours.

Lake Helen ice harvest business huge industry in winter
Up to 100 men and boys employed daily
Imagine cutting ice with plows from a frozen lake and floating the100-pound blocks through a channel to a conveyor belt and finally onto a train.During the ice harvest heyday, as many as 500 cars were filled on some days that required the labor of 100 men to cut, float and ship ice at Lake Helen from Lake Helen.
Horses and men drowned and frigid winds howled from the north and west as men worked near the icy water for hours.
Watchmen, hired to drag agitators up and down the open channel every hour to keep it from freezing, worked through the night.
An exhibit at the Gothenburg Historical Museum chronicles the days of the ice business as well as reason for the creation of the lake.
"It was for irrigation and to generate electricity," said Dick Larson, a museum board member, about the creation of Lake Helen and a canal in 1891. "And ice cutting became important too.
"It furnished employment to many men during a season when there was not much work to be found."
One contract for ice to cool fresh produce on rail cars, called for 30,000 tons of ice annually from the lake.
Another contract, by the Platte Valley Farm and Cattle Company, was to ship as many as 2,000 cars of ice in a single season for five years.
The ice was taken to other cities and used in refrigerated rail cars in which slabs of ice were slid onto racks above what needed to be kept cold, Larson said.
At least three small houses were built at the edge of the lake where ice was stored for the railroad and for town residents who often needed smaller chunks to keep food cold.
The Gothenburg Area History book notes that a new ice house was erected in 1893 by the Gothenburg Water, Power and Irrigation Company.
"People came in wagons to collect ice from the ice houses that also stored a big supply for summer use," Larson said.
In fact, Jane Sheets (another museum board member) remembers a man named Mr. Carr who had downtown ice storage in the 1940s.
The industry began in 1893, when the first ice house was built near the lake, and continued into the 1920s until refrigeration was invented.
At some point, during the early years, the Union Pacific Railroad installed a spur line to ship out ice from the lake.
"Most of it went to the Pacific Rail Express but some of it was also shipped to North Platte and Grand Island," Larson said.
Photographs show many of the men working without gloves and wearing caps that don't cover their ears.
Larson remembers reading an account about how a Model A Ford engine was used to operate an electric saw for ice cutting.
"The night watchman would drain the warm oil into a bucket at night, so it wouldn't freeze, and keep it warm overnight," he said.
Ice was cut a foot deep before workers used pry bars to break off the chunks and float them to a conveyor belt.
Inside shacks on the ice were kerosene or wood stoves for the watchmen to stay warm.
Long sticks, with short blades on the end, were used to float the ice through an open channel and to pull frozen water chunks onto a conveyor belt. From there, the ice was loaded into rail cars.
Larson said the ice was also scored, by horses pulling a walking plow, but he doesn't know why.
"Once a team of white horses fell through the ice and drowned," he said.
Larson said the bustling ice-harvest business shows how industrious the community was in employing up to 100 men who were paid 20 cents an hour.
Boys, wanting to make extra money, received 15 cents an hour.
"You don't realize what people have done to make Gothenburg such a progressive community," he said.
Sheets said she thinks people take more pride in their community when they know more about it.
Today, Lake Helen (named after the founding engineer's daughter) is undergoing significant change.
The lake is being drained as part of a $1.5 million project to clean the 105-year-old body of water. Lake Helen will be shrunk, dredged and transformed to make it more user friendly.

Last Night on Late Night: Jason Bateman, Goaded Into Blaming Will Arnett for Arrested Development Holdup
Plus: Aziz Ansari and Jason Bateman quibbled over their manhood in the company of Gillian Anderson, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
Last night on the Late Show, David Letterman made it a mission to figure out the cause for the lag in reuniting the Arrested Development cast. "It was, uh, nothing really exciting," Jason Bateman stuttered. "Money, huh?" Letterman interjected. "Um, yes, uhh, no, ahhh." "Who was the holdout?" "Will Arnett." Oh, Gob. Plus: Gillian Anderson, seated between two bearded gentlemen, Aziz Ansari and Jimmy Fallon, caused a bit of a quibblefest over the manliness of manscaping. Also, Tom Hanks, in his quest for a new theater, disrupted David Letterman's monologues over and over and over. As Hanks sees it, the Ed Sullivan theater will soon go the way of the Tonight Show. And finally, Craig Ferguson's zany comedy left Zach Galifianakis utterly defeated and speechless. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

How Do You Pump?
How do you pump the sail/board to "literally "launch" your board onto a plane" as you said in the thread when to hook in...
I was just wondering becasue I think that would be a very useful skill to learn.
Thanks a lot,
RE: Pumping
Hi tdagg,
There are a few different levels of "pumping".
To launch your board onto a plane, you get back and get the nose up
so the board can plane off efficiently, then you can do 2 or 3
full body, put everything you've got into it pumps. The rig starts out sheeted out and you pull it back and in as hard as you can.
This does 2 things. First , pulling the rig back and in really hard kinda "shoots" the board forward and this may be enough to launch you onto a plane. t
The 2nd thing that happens is when you put all your effort into bringing the rig back and in rapidly, your weight comes off the board, helping it to "jump over" it's bow wave and onto the plane,
Once you've launched, you can do some "flutter pumping" where you work the rig in and out, nearly fully sheeted in, to kind of "shake" the board loose and get it to accelerate even more.
Last type of pumping is "fin pumping' where you push across the top of the fin with short "jabs", the idea being that you can help the board unstick and get going even faster.
Hope this helps,

Chemical engineers in Peru are learning about Mathematica from a new blog. Dr. Manuel Cerpa, a chemical engineering professor at the National University of Engineering in Lima, Peru, writes Aplicando Mathematica a la Ingeniería Química, a Spanish-language blog about using Mathematica in chemical engineering. Each post includes an interactive Computable Document Format (CDF) app that demonstrates a particular concept or problem.
Blogging with CDF
Cerpa began the blog to raise awareness of Mathematica in Peru. He first discovered Mathematica nine years ago, in a scientific paper in which it was used to solve a complex thermodynamic model. Since then, he has been using it in his research to solve phenomenological problems in chemical engineering.
He thinks it's important that more people in his field know about using Mathematica for solving common cases in mass and heat transfer, fluid flow, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and mass balance. Many problems in chemical engineering need explicit algebraic solutions. In addition, ODEs in many problems can be solved with good interactive graphics.
With CDF, he can show results graphically and interact with them using the controls, saving time because he doesn't have to recalculate the model for each set of parameters.
Using CDF on his blog lets him share interactive examples with people who don't have Mathematica. Because anyone can download the free CDF Player and interact with the CDFs he made, he reaches a wider audience.
CDF in the Classroom
Cerpa uses some of the CDFs on his blog in his classes as well. He started using Mathematica for teaching master of science students six months ago.
"I believe that Mathematica is primary software for any student in the university," he says.
With Mathematica's interactive capabilities, students work with live mathematical models and dynamic graphics.
"It's very important because many problems have static graphical solutions (nomograms) and they don't help to understand the effects in the variation of key parameters," Cerpa says.
Using CDF files lets him spend more class time explaining the effects of changing parameters. That helps the students discover new relationships and learn the underlying physical or chemical phenomena rather than how to solve a mathematical model. Students experimenting for themselves learn more than they would from a book and become better prepared to solve other cases or real industrial problems with Mathematica.
"I believe that students understand better and faster if a physical or chemical problem is solved graphically than if it's algebraically," Cerpa says. "In addition, with the controllers, the students interact with the problem, and they can learn the effects of a change."

While there's nothing to stop parents from planning for college from the moment a child takes his first breath, the reality is that the parents of most kids have maybe 18 years before they have to make any hard decisions. But Andrew Li isn't like most kids.
Li's mom and dad, who immigrated from China in 1995, have found themselves firming up college plans, asking where their son will go to college just like the parents of other West Brook High School kids.
"My parents say I should go to Rice or something," said Andrew.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

By Marty Graham
SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and the city reached a proposed settlement on Wednesday in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by his former press secretary, the city attorney told reporters.
The disclosure of the settlement on the third day of negotiations came on the same day a former star of a reality television show became the 18th woman to publicly accuse Filner of groping or other inappropriate behavior, in a scandal that has rocked California's second largest city.
Filner has come under mounting pressure to resign amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations leveled at him, starting with his former press secretary, Irene McCormack Jackson, who sued the mayor and the city on July 22.
The San Diego City Council in July filed a cross-complaint against Filner seeking to recover from him any damages the city might face in the lawsuit.
"We have reached a proposed resolution," City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, who was flanked by two City Council members and attorneys for Filner, told reporters gathered outside the downtown office building where talks were held.
Goldsmith did not disclose the scope of the proposed settlement, but he said that it will be presented to the San Diego City Council in closed session on Friday. "We won't have more to discuss until Friday afternoon," he said.
High-profile attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the former press secretary, has called for Filner to resign. Goldsmith, who is acting on behalf of the City Council and not the mayor in the case, told local television station KNSD earlier this month that settlement talks would give the mayor a potential "out" to litigation, although Goldsmith stopped short of saying that had to involve the mayor's resignation.
A source close to an individual involved in the talks, when asked whether the proposed settlement would require Filner to resign, said, "I think it's fair to say that looks like it's in the cards."
Filner, meanwhile, was spotted inside City Hall on Wednesday in what was believed to be the first sighting of him there since he took a brief leave of absence to enter behavioral modification therapy early this month.
But neither his office nor his lawyers have replied to repeated queries this week about whether the 70-year-old Democrat and former U.S. congressman has fully resumed his duties as the city's top elected official.
Negotiations aimed at reaching a settlement began on Monday at a downtown office building near City Hall. No talks were planned for Thursday, Goldsmith said.
The sessions were presided over by a retired federal judge, J. Lawrence Irving, a respected mediator, who has asked all parties to refrain from discussing the talks publicly, Goldsmith said.
Since Jackson filed her suit last month, 17 more women have come forward to accuse Filner of making unwanted advances, the latest being Dianne York, 50, who starred in a short-lived reality show about cosmetic surgery on the Oxygen Channel cable network called "Addicted to Beauty."
York, who has acknowledged on the show's website that she has undergone "more than five and less than 10" cosmetic surgical procedures herself, was depicted on the series as launching a business partnership with a prominent plastic surgeon to open a day spa in San Diego.
At a news conference on Wednesday, York said the mayor put his hand on her buttocks when she posed with him for a photo at his office in May following a meeting to discuss what she called an illegal foreclosure on her business, the Spa of La Jolla.
"I was shocked," she said. "It was inappropriate." She gave few other details except to say she reported the incident to the county sheriff's department, which has set up a hot line to field complaints about alleged misconduct by the mayor.
County court records show York has been involved in more than a dozen lawsuits during the past three years, some of them disputes with her own attorneys.
Among the other women who have alleged sexual harassment by Filner were a retired U.S. Navy admiral, a college dean, a licensed vocational nurse, several business women and two military veterans who were victims of unrelated sexual assaults in the armed forces.
Filner has so far refused to step down but has apologized for what he acknowledged was a pattern of disrespectful and intimidating behavior toward women.
On August 5, he entered a treatment at an undisclosed behavioral counseling clinic. His lawyers said he left the clinic after several days but was taking additional time off last week before planning to return to work this week.
On Sunday, volunteers began collecting signatures for a petition seeking to oust Filner through a recall election. Organizers said that as of Tuesday night they had collected 11,000 of the 102,000 signatures needed by September 26 to qualify a recall for the ballot.

The family of a 10-year-old Libertyville boy who was killed in a 2012 boating wreck on Petite Lake is suing the Fox Waterway Agency, citing that it failed to establish rules and regulations for safe boating.
Tony Borcia was killed July 28, 2012, after he fell out of an inflatable tube and was struck by another boater. The boater, David Hatyina, pleaded guilty to having cocaine in his system at the time of the incident and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Borcia family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in December against Hatyina and Renee Melbourn, who was a passenger in the boat.
The Borcia family has filed an amended wrongful death lawsuit to include the Fox Waterway Agency, as well as Spring Lake Marina, which directed Tony's father, Jim Borcia, to Petite Lake.
The lawsuit is seeking more than $250,000 in damages.
"We're not just seeking money," said Margaret Borcia, Tony's mother. "One of the ways you bring about change is to make someone pay money for something they did."
Margaret Borcia said the lake should have had daytime speed limits, and the lake should have had more signs informing boaters that it is unsafe to use an inflatable tube.
"People always say we shouldn't have been tubing there in the first place," she said. "There's no way my husband should've known that. He's never been there before."
The family is suing Spring Lake Marina for $50,000 for not detailing the dangers of tubing on Petite Lake. Since 2009, Petite Lake has been the site of more than 20 percent of the boating accidents and injuries on the entire Chain O' Lakes system, according to the lawsuit.
Along with seeking $50,000 from both Hatyina and Melbourn, the family is seeking $50,000 from the Fox Waterway Agency for each family member present on the boat.
Wayne Blake, chairman of the Fox Waterway, said he feels sorry for the family of Tony Borcia but believes the waterway should not be held responsible for the 10-year-old's death.
"It's unfortunate; I really feel bad for the Borcia family," Blake said. "But I think most of these suits here are based on emotion and not reality."
Blake said the waterway is not a policing body, and it is not responsible for enforcing boating rules on the lake. He said the Lake County sheriff, the McHenry County sheriff and the Illinois Department of Conservation were all present on the day Tony Borcia was killed, and any enforcement of rules by the waterway agency would not have saved his life.
"I don't care how many rules or laws you make. Something that's an accident like that can't be avoided," he said.
The Borcia family disagrees and hopes the court will find that the waterway agency should establish daytime boating speed limits, restrict the size of boats allowed on the waterway and establish areas where people can safely tube.
"We'll fight it like anybody would fight any kind of a lawsuit," Blake said. "We'll see what the court says. We'll abide whatever we're told to do."
Margaret Borcia said she and her family have substantial medical bills and have been in and out of the hospital for psychiatric care as a result of last year's tragedy. But the hardest part, she said, regardless of the court outcome, is the constant reminder of the loss of her son.
"It's been extremely hard," she said. "Especially having my children seeing it. They're struggling in school. They're having flashbacks. ... It's been a horrific thing."

Iowa Rep. Bruce Braley says he will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin.
Braley said Thursday in an email to potential supporters that the decision is "a big responsibility" and he's forming a fundraising committee to get started.
The Waterloo Democrat was elected to the House in 2006.
He has been eyeing a Senate run since 2010 and his announcement follows Harkin's Jan. 26 announcement that he will not seek a sixth term.
Braley had already said he was weighing a run, and he met last week in Washington with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and chairmen of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Among Republicans, Iowa Reps. Tom Latham and Steve King are considering Senate campaigns.

The LS3/5A was designed by the BBC as an outside broadcast monitor speaker. This ultra compact system used the KEF B110 and T27 bass and treble units, a complex crossover network, and an enclosure of which the construction was specified very carefully to minimize colouration of the sound by panel vibrations. Licenses were offered to companies willing to manufacture these for the BBC and, in 1975, Rogers was the first to take up the opportunity. Such was the reaction amongst audiophiles that the LS3/5A developed a strong reputation for use in high quality domestic audio systems.
The rest, as they say, is history. Over 100,000 LS3/5As have been sold all around the world and, in 1994, KEF, who had also been supplying the crossover networks since 1987, decided to join the other licensees by manufacturing the complete system.

Wis. hunters face patchwork of weapon regulations
Submitted: 11/02/2013
- Wisconsin deer hunters could face a hodgepodge of new gun regulations this fall as local governments react to the state lifting its rifle ban by passing their own rules. The state has gradually been reducing the number of counties where hunters couldn't use rifles. The Department of Natural Resources lifted the ban in the final 19 shotgun-only counties this year. But local governments can still enact their own rifle restrictions to protect public safety, and some have been working to do so before hunters take to the woods for the nine-day gun hunt later this month. The village of Germantown voted last month to ban rifles, and the town of Washington on Washington Island is among those with new rules in the works.

Rum Review: Appleton Estate VX
Posted by Arctic Wolf on February 7, 2010
In 1749, in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, the Appleton Estate Sugar factory was founded. The Nassau Valley is a fertile, interior valley with a special mild microclimate which is ideally suited to the growth of Sugarcane. A water source which wells from a limestone rock formation provides an exceptionally soft pure water which used for the production of Appleton Rums.
The Rum itself is crafted from pot stills in small batches. After blending and aging the rums are ready for bottling. Unlike most rums produced in the Caribbean, Jamaican law forbids the use of an age statement unless the entire contents of a bottle are aged at least as long as the stated age.
This is the first review in a series I am doing on Appleton Rums. I am starting with the Appleton Estate VX and I will work my way up the ladder of Appleton Rums to the Appleton 21 Year Old. This will include the Appleton Reserve, The Appleton Estate Extra 12 Year, The Master Blenders Legacy, and the Appleton Dark 151 Proof. An astute person will realize that I have already reviewed Appleton Estate Extra 12 Year Old and the Master Blenders Legacy. I will take this opportunity as I go up the Appleton Ladder to revisit these reviews and these rums.
Here is an excerpt from my Appleton Estate VX Review:
" The rum displays an amber colour with orange flashes. Surprisingly (to me) the rum when swirled left nice long skinny legs in my glass indicating a buttery oil present. The aroma is very spicy, and full of oak tannin. I smell a firm and distinct orange peel, and light brown sugar and molasses rising in the tangy oak spice…."
I have also included an original cocktail based upon the popular Cosmopolitan. As usual my cocktail recipe has been reviewed and approved by forrest.

One of the worst things that can happen in a relationship is to have your significant other cheat on you. It is a game changer, a marriage ender, and a complete betrayal. When an affair comes to light, the person who has been cheated on may be raked with self-doubt from "Am I not pretty enough?" to "Am I not good enough?" — and these self-doubts are particularly shocking when they come from celebrities.
Celebrities who are known for their gorgeous looks from Halle Berry to Jennifer Aniston to those who are incredibly talented from Emma Thompson to Uma Thurman have experienced this. And really, who would EVER cheat on America's sweetheart Sandra Bullock? These celebrities seem to have it all; fame, fortune, and fabulous lives. But even with all their advantages, they too can fall victim to a broken heart. But you know what? They may have been betrayed and had their personal lives be fodder for tabloids around the world, but they are survivors. They move on, remarry, and find true happiness leaving the exes in the dust.
Check out these twenty stars who have been cheated on right here:
Emma Thompson 1 of 20
Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh seemed like a perfect couple; they were attractive, incredibly talented, and both oh so British. The two wed in 1989 but their marriage ended in 1995 with claims that their work schedules had gotten in the way. At the time, however, the tabloids had reported that their split was due to Branagh's affair with co-star Helena Bonham Carter.
Years and years later, Thompson has forgiven the woman who broke up her marriage, saying it's "blood under the bridge. [...] You can't hold on to anything like that. I just think ... pfft. It's pointless. I haven't got the energy for it. Helena and I made our peace years and years ago." She stated that Bonham and her are a bit alike, both "being slightly mad and a bit fashion-challenged," adding, "perhaps that's why Ken loved us both. She's a wonderful woman, Helena."
And Thompson found love again. She met and married Greg Wise and the two have two children, a daughter Gaia and an adopted son Tindyebwa Agab, a former Rwandan child solider.
Maria Shriver 2 of 20
Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger always seemed like an odd couple, but the two kept their unusual marriage going for 25 years until word leaked that Schwarzenegger has been unfaithful and had fathered a child with the family's housekeeper.
Shriver has kept mum about the "painful and heartbreaking time," but Arnold did release a statement saying: "I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children, and my family. I am truly sorry."
The two have divorced and have not reconciled, but Maria continues her philanthropy and to help those in need.
Brandi Glanville 3 of 20
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was once happily married to actor Eddie Cibrian and the two had two children together. But that all ended when Eddie had an affair with country star LeAnn Rimes. Brandi did not take the news well. According to an interview with Glamour magazine, the first thing she did was go and slash the tires on his motorcycle. And things just got worse.
Eddie and Brandi got divorced, and Eddie married LeAnn. Since then, Brandi and LeAnn have been at war. "'Marriages break up all the time," Brandi said. "People have affairs. Happens every day. It matters how you handle yourself after and if you're actually remorseful. I've never found LeAnn to be remorseful. I found her to be like, 'Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, I got your family.'" But after Brandi released her book, Drinking and Tweeting, she vowed to stop talking about LeAnn and Eddie. Sounds like she is ready to move on. She is dating but has not had another serious relationship.
Kathie Lee Gifford 4 of 20
Back in 1997, Kathie Lee Gifford's husband Frank Gifford had a two month affair with a flight attendant named Suzen Johnson. The news was made public, but the two weathered the storm and stayed together.
Jennifer Aniston 5 of 20
When Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt, Brad took a role in the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a decision that changed both of their lives. It was on that set where Brad met, and fell in love, with Angelina Jolie.
Although the couple does not say their marriage broke up because of Angie, it's hard not to put the pieces together. Especially after Angelina Jolie did an interview saying that that was when she fell for Brad. After Aniston read the Angie interview she said, "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," adding, "I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
Aniston and Pitt's divorce was "amicable" and now Aniston is engaged to Justin Theroux.
Sandra Bullock 6 of 20
All our heart's hurt for Sandra Bullock when it was revealed, VERY publicly, that her husband Jesse James had cheated on her. The couple were an odd match for sure, but their marriage had lasted five years. But she moved on gracefully and is in a very good place now.
"We're all where we're supposed to be," Bullock says in the October issue of Vogue when asked about the devastating breakup. "I am exactly where I want to be now. You can't go backward. I'm not going backward. I'm grateful that I'm here, blessed to have what I have. Nobody can be prepared for anything." Sandra seems happier now more than ever.
Robert Pattinson 7 of 20
To the total bewilderment of teen girls everywhere, Kristen Stewart was caught cheating on her on-screen and off-screen love Robert Pattinson. Yes, Belle stepped out on Edward! The two will forever be linked due to the Twilight movies, but the damage has been done and the two are very done.
Eva Longoria 8 of 20
Actress Eva Longoria was devastated when it was revealed that her husband Tony Parker was cheating on her. After the breakup, she was filled with self doubt but got over it saying:
"I just think, 'Wow, okay, that's the life you want to live.' It wasn't about who he chose. I mean, I had moments [where I wondered], 'Am I not sexy enough? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough?' But in so many of those questions, I immediately stopped and said, 'No, don't start doing that.' Because you can get stuck in that cycle and you can carry on to other things."But she got out of that cycle and has VERY much moved on.
Kim Kardashian 9 of 20
Kim Karadashian shares much of her life with the world, but has kept mum on the rumors that Reggie Bush had cheated on her and that was the reason that the reality TV star and the football star broke up. But she got over that heartbreak pretty quick, meeting, marrying then divorcing Kris Humphries and then hooking up with her current man (and baby daddy) Kanye West. She recovers quite well doesn't she?
Christie Brinkley 10 of 20
The divorce between Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook goes down as one of the worst in celebrity history. The two are very, very bitter. And for good reason. Cook cheated on her with an 18-year-old assistant. "I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage," Cook said in rationalizing his cheating. "I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner."
Christie felt "humiliated and stupid" after finding out about the affair. "To come across that was beyond devastating. It was beyond your wildest nightmare one could ever imagine," said Brinkley. But she recovered, moved on, and is in a good place (and looks fantastic to boot!).
Reese Witherspoon 11 of 20
How could someone cheat on Reese Witherspoon? She's so sweet, beautiful, and seems so darn nice. But after seven years of marriage and having two kids together, the two broke up, reportedly due to Ryan Phillippe having an affair with his co-star Abbie Cornish.
Reese and Ryan went on to co-parent nicely, and Reese found happiness again when she married Jim Toth and had their own child.
Sienna Miller 12 of 20
Remember when Sienna Miller and Jude Law were a couple? They seemed so perfect for each other, that is until Jude Law went and ruined it all. Jude Law had an affair with the nanny who watched over his children.
"I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," he said in a statement. "I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused."
Sienna moved on and is now a proud mom to her first child.
Halle Berry 13 of 20
How could someone cheat on Halle Berry? But yes, someone did. Her ex-husband Eric Benet. After finding out that he had gotten together with an old girlfriend, Halle tried to make the marriage work, but the damage was done. The two divorced. She moved on, partnering with Gabriel Aubry (and having a child with him), and now she is married to Olivier Martinez (and they just welcomed their first child).
Uma Thurman 14 of 20
Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke were quite the power couple, but then Hawke had an affair with their nanny. Uma took the break-up very hard, saying the split was "excruciating" and her self-esteem was "pretty mangled."
"You can move on, and you can be lucky and you can seize the moment and you can take one step after another," Thurman said. "You bear two children with somebody — that's not a small thing — and then you can hardly talk to them."
Both Thurman and Hawke moved on. Hawke ended up marrying the nanny, and Thurman had a baby with her boyfriend Arpad Busson.
Dennis Quaid 15 of 20
Meg Ryan made quite a mistake when she cheated on the one and only Dennis Quaid. Who would cheat on DENNIS QUAID! After nine years of marriage, Meg Ryan had an affair with costar Russell Crowe. But after the two divorced, Meg claims that she wasn't the only one who cheated.
Elizabeth Hurley 16 of 20
Elizabeth Hurley was completely blindsided when her fiance Hugh Grant was very publicly busted. Grant was caught with a prostitute and arrested! Yes, a very extreme case of being found out. This goes down as one of the most famous celebrity cheating scandals of all time.
Dita Von Teese 17 of 20
Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson were a very odd couple, but you couldn't help but hope they would be happy together. But their marriage ended when Dita Von Teese claimed that Manson had an affair with actress Evan Rachel Wood. Wood and Manson were a couple for quite a while but they eventually broke up.
Dita Von Teese continues to glam it up around the globe but has not remarried.
Mia Farrow 18 of 20
For Mia Farrow, it wasn't just shocking that Woody Allen cheated on her, but it was with WHOM he cheated on her with.
Woody Allen shocked the world, and Mia, when he started to have a romantic relationship with Mia's daughter Soon-Yi Previn. Woody Allen went on to marry Soon-Yi and Mia Farrow is still, rightfully, bitter.
Mary Louise Parker 19 of 20
Mary Louise Parker had been with actor Billy Crudup for eight years and was carrying his baby. Then when she was 7 months pregnant, Crudup had an affair and left her for Claire Danes! But karma came knocking for Billy. While he was with Claire Danes, she had an affair with Hugh Dancy who she is still with and had a baby with.
Anjelica Huston 20 of 20
Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson were together from 1973 to 1989, a long time, especially in Hollywood. But their relationship came to an end when Anjelica found out that not only had Jack had an affair but that he had gotten Rebecca Broussard pregnant.
But time heals all wounds. Anjelica and Jack are now on good terms.
"Jack is someone I've adored in my life and will continue to love forever," the actress told The Saturday Evening Post. "I don't take him lightly. As it happens, we had a really lovely conversation on the phone yesterday — a conversation that started off a little bumpy and wound up just completely wonderful."
"That's a real relationship," added Huston. "Real relationships have continuity, and Jack and I have a deep abiding love and affection for each other. I'm proud that we've gotten through some very tough times together."
