Dear Rachael Ray,
'Member a few years ago when Anthony Bourdain rained ninja spawn on you for shooting that Dunkin' Donuts ad, the one where you sported a keffiyeh like some kind of cultural anthro major at Columbia? He was pissed because, in his ideal, folks like you should advocate for sound, wholesome foods, which you've gotta admit is a point.
I am mad at you too, Rachael Ray. I am mad because last year your eponymous mag, Every Day with Rachael Ray, printed this:
And I read: "Here's a sweet idea: Use lollipops as color-coordinated cocktail stirrers." O Rachael Ray, where do I begin?
It's not so much that you advise dispersing a dose of corn syrup, glycerine, FD&C Red No. 40 et. al. into one's mix of liquor and fruit juice (and probably sugar or simple syrup, too), because I well know the cocktail itself is no bracing shot of healthfulness. And I want not to stomp on the do-what-you-like freedoms of others, no matter how misguided, like the way Sarah Palin interprets a criticism of what she's said as an indictment of her right to say it. I won't even go into the fact that the legal drinking age in this country is 21, and that by sticking a lolli in alcohol, what you've created is, in effect, an effigy of Joe Camel himself.
The thing is, Rachael Ray, there are things such as taste and style, things that are arbitrated through the culture by media empresses such as yourself and, of course, bloggers read by dozens of people, like me. These things matter because they are linked to tradition and history, and because they are the cues by which society charts its behavior, and therefore, its course. Famous architects talk about how a building can provide passersby insights into a neighborhood and dictate their acts of civility or discord. Your validating a Blow Pop as an acceptable cocktail ingredient is like endorsing Red Bull and vodka; it's telling people that, yes, some things should always remain what your grandfather used to drink, so you just sit there and look cute and don't bother to evolve past when you used to mix Budweisers and OJ in high school. Where would you rather drink, Rachael Ray: Inside Mad Men or along the Jersey Shore?
Now, Rachael Ray, I completely admit that if there's one thing I suck at, it's coming up with a comeback in quick fashion. That's why it's taken me the better part of a year to concoct the cocktail I knew I would one day call the "I Hope You Get Diabetes, Rachael Ray." I also admit that I copped this idea from a sketchy recollection of a drink my friend Michelle once ordered and adored somewhere in San Francisco. It is basically a martini with the slightest of tweaks — which, once I thought about it, I realized was just what the "I Hope You Get Diabetes, Rachael Ray" needed to be.
The "I Hope You Get Diabetes, Rachael Ray" needed to be pleasurable and amiable while being neither sweet nor briny. It's just pure warmth, cascading in a botanically-tinged tingle across the tongue.
Plus it's pink, Rachael Ray — Gwyneth-Paltrow-Oscar-gown pink!
That shade of pink, unless my husband was blowing smoke up my ass, is such an unlikely, beguiling, non-Pepto Bismol and uncandied shade of pink (for a cocktail) that even the male members of our species will want to plumb its depths. Men and women, Rachael Ray — sociably enjoying a cocktail together! Don't you think your readers would like that?
The "I Hope You Get Diabetes, Rachael Ray"
2 ounces Hendrick's Gin
1/4 teaspoon Cinzano dry vermouth
1 dash Peychaud's bitters
Big, fat, oversized, green olive (optional)
Combine all three ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake the ever-loving shit out of it. Strain into a (preferably chilled) cocktail or martini glass. If you like, garnish with a skewered olive.
Tasting Notes:
The absolutely most important thing about this cocktail is that it must be served ice cold. That is why I'm suggesting you shake it, even though conventional cocktail-nerd wisdom would dictate stirring a mixture that's all thin alcohols (no egg, cream, juice, syrupy liqueur, etc.). I, for one, could not get it cold enough through stirring, and when it's only cool as opposed to cold, it's too fumey and harsh.
The Hendrick's Gin is key, but you can employ whatever brand of dry vermouth you happen to have on-hand. Peychaud's is an orange flavor of bitters, btw, and the most popular, but should you have another brand (I am pretty sure Fee Brothers makes one) anything orange should do.

4 The Best Party Game Since Warioware: Smooth MovesLordWoody | 10/07/2009 | See all LordWoody's reviews (10)Most party games suck on the wii. FACT!!! Warioware is probably your best bet for a party game where you won't get annoyed from how rushed and chep the game feels and all the waggle that really doesn't need to be there. The problem is that was a nintendo game. What about 3rd party developers? Nothing, until now. Sega have come out with Let's Tap, a unique and colourful little game from the creator of Sonic. This has 5 different games to play by tapping on the box (2 boxes come with the game if you order the special edition). This itself making it unique by not using the wii remote. The remote just sits laying down on top of the box and feels the vibrations from tapping. I was looking at this when it was first announced sometime last year and was curious then. Sometimes its good to try something new and different and see what you think. For 17.99, this is a bargain and should be played by everyone who likes to have fun with their wii when friends come round. The only problem I found with it, was sometimes it feels unresponsive, but I think that is only because of the amount of or lack of pressure you're using when tapping the box. Highly recommended!!!
4 Well Worth The Money!!Matteymaz | 02/07/2009 | See all Matteymaz's reviews (2)I Brought A Japanese Import Of This Game And Found It To Be One Of The Funnest Games On The Wii.So Much Infact That I Brought It On Here As Soon As It Came Out, It Is Definetly Worth The £17.99 Because You Get The Game And 2 Tap Pads So That You Can Play It With A Friend. :)
5 Let's Tap proves that simple ideas are the best at times!dragonlord | 04/02/2011 | See all dragonlord's reviews (442)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer As I have been a gamer for over 20 years with the good old ZX Spectrum being my first gaming machine. I always find it very exiting to find a game like Let's Tap which is original and most importantly is extremely playable by yourself or with friends and family. Let's Tap has five completely different modes for you to enjoy which are as follows: Tap Runner, Silent Blocks, Rhythm Tap, Bubble Voyager and Visualizer which are all controlled by tapping your fingers/hands on a box which your Wii Remote is laying upon.Tap Runner is my favourite party game where up to four people can race there little man across 16 different tracks which get harder as you progress because of the different traps and objects. You tap the box to make your man run and double tap it fast to make him jump hurdles or electric floating balls. Other dangers you will come across are larger pillers which go up and down which can flatten your man if he gets trapped underneath one. There are cool spring boards for you to jump off and tricky type-ropes for you to walk across.Silent Blocks is a cross between the game Jango and Puzzle League (Nintendo DS) which is easy to play but hard to master. You have to remove blocks from this large tall tower and try and match at least three colours of the same to get points. If you can't match your colurs up then it will be game over and your tower falls to the ground. You have a maker which goes up and down and when it reaches the block that you want to remove just tap the box. Sometimes if you are lucky or skillful you can have a chain of combo's.Rhythm Tap works by tapping in time with the markers on the screen as they pass your touch point. The darker the rhythm mark the harder you tap. My partner and five year old daughter like this party game best. There are over 16 songs for you to master your rhythm along to.Bubble Voyager is a space battle shooter which is crazy mayhem fun in four player mode with friends and family. You have this one screen in which you can fly from one side of to the other and you must try and blow eachother up with these huge rockets. To change direction in battlemode just don't touch the box and your rocket man rotates and once you are facing the way you want to go, tap away and then twice fast in order to fire from your big rocket gun. In single player mode your rocket man flys across the screen in a scrolling shoot 'em up which is bit like Jet Pac - ZX Spectrum cassette game - Ultimate Play The Game. You tap to make your rocket man fly and stop tapping to let him float downwards. To shoot you need to double tap as there are nasty mines and over objects which block your path. There are some nice little bonus items for you to collect such as the Starfish which varies by colour on what it does. Power Capsule restores your energy and Fire Shot launches a perimeter of fire to devastating effect. Last of all the 3 Way Shoot which fires missiles in three directions instead of one.Visualizer has you filling the night sky with beautiful fireworks. There are three different patterns which require a firm, medium and light tap. Paint, River and Ink are all good fun visual experiences. Gem Game is a tricky little game where you have to tap the box to throw your coloured balls up in air so that they go into containers.

The Walking Dead Articles
The Walking Dead show recaps, reviews, and photos. Read reviews and recaps of AMC's The Walking Dead series.
Two weeks 'til Dead
Vasquez/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
October 12th is the premiere of The Walking Dead, season 5. Are you ready? I had to replace my DVR box over the summer and to be honest, when faced with programming the new one, I wavered on The Walking Dead. It's half a hate-watch already, and I'm always one Rick crying jag away from being disgusted with it. Full Story
The Walking Dead season 5: "The greater good"
We're six weeks away from the premiere of The Walking Dead season 5, so it's time for Entertainment Weekly to run their now-annual preview issue. The collectible covers are pretty good, especially Michonne and Daryl's. Maggie and Glenn are just kind of eh, and I'm not into Rick's pooping face at all. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.16: "We first, always"
Courtesy AMC
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 16 recap It's the season finale, so beware the SPOILERS. This episode started out very promising, and then just did nothing. It encapsulates the best and the worst of The Walking Dead—the best being the gore and the tension and the clash of wills that results whenever Rick meets another alpha male, the worst being the fact that NOTHING HAPPENS. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.15: "Claimed"
Courtesy AMC
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 15 recap. It's the penultimate episode. Potential SPOILERS. Well obviously my new favorite person is Doctor Mullet who talks about zombie dinosaurs and videogames and looks like someone said "post-apocalyptic Kenny Powers" as a character description. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.14: "Just look at the flowers"
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 14 recap This was a Very Special Episode of The Walking Dead, in which we learned about strength and morals in a post-apocalyptic world. Also we learned about child murder. We're approaching the end of the season, which means that sh*t is getting real. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.13: "I don't think the good ones survive"
Courtesy AMC
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 13 recap I've been re-watching Game of Thrones season 3, getting ready for the new season, as well as True Detective, which is just flat-out one of the best things I've ever seen on TV. As I've been watching these other shows, I've been thinking about The Walking Dead, which, along with Thrones, is one of the most successful shows on TV. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.12: "It's just what people talk about"
The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 12 recap Notes from last week's episode. Apparently there was some discussion about the guy who saw Rick while he was under the bed. I thought he was dead, but then on The Talking Dead Andrew Lincoln said otherwise. I don't watch The Talking Dead, and stuff like that ought to be clear in-episode, but we'll go with that guy still being alive, and since the man spotted on the porch as Rick et al fled is a recognizable actor, let's also assume that the rape-happy biker gang will be back. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.11: "We got some miles to go"
The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 11 recap The writers finally figured out that in order for Michonne to be compelling—and not just cool—they needed to let her talk. They tried to do the strong, silent thing for a while, and while that might work in a movie, where you only have to live with a character for a few hours, on a TV show eventually you have to give the audience something to work with. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.10: "Those who arrive, survive"
The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 10 recap We need to talk about Lizzie. At one point in this episode, I was legit worried she was going to murder Baby Judith and then cook and eat her. Judith is, indeed, alive, scooped up by Lizzie and Mika on their way out of the prison, which is a total cop out. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.9: "I win"
The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 9 recap The Walking Dead returns and immediately makes a really good decision. Carl is Carl is UGH, and Rick might be brain dead, or maybe just dead-dead. And Michonne had a pretty nice life before the zombies came. This week, on These are the Days of our Dead. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.8: "We need this prison"
Courtesy AMC
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 8 recap The showdown. It happened. But That Thing DIDN'T. Legit disappointed. We've been cheated out of our Red Wedding! I Skype-watched this with my buddy RB, who is a fighter pilot in the Navy. I wanted his tactical assessment of the Governor's attack on the prison. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.7: "I'm running things now"
Courtesy AMC
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 7 recap Name correction from last week's episode. The lady the Governor hooked up with is Lilly, not Melody. Chronic name blindness strikes again. Also, this week's episode is titled "Dead Weight". That's not, like, foreboding at all. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.6: "Cross my heart"
The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 6 recap After the cliffhanger reveal of the Governor in last week's episode, this week we get to spend the whole hour catching up on what the Governor has been up to since the collapse of Woodbury. Or, as he's now being called, Brian Heriot. Because what better time to steal an identity than in the zombie apocalypse? The thing about the Governor is that, even if you haven't read the comics, it was always clear that he was a bad guy. Full Story
The Walking Dead 4.5: "Not everyone gets to live"
The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 5 recap After last week's very good episode, being stuck in the prison this episode feels a little stagnant and less interesting, but a slow start builds up to a great climax as the threats inside and outside the prison coalesce at the same moment. I'm not sure of the exact timeline of this episode, but I'm assuming it's happening concurrently with Rick & Co. Full Story

Red Dining Tables

Bring everyone together around the perfect kitchen table
The kitchen table is a piece of furniture that you'll want to last you a long time. Through countless meals, homework sessions and family game nights, your dinner table will be at the center of all the action. Sears has a full range of dining room tables to choose from that will fit any look you're trying to create in your dining area. With a wide variety of sizes, shapes and finishes, you can create the perfect style for any room.
If you live in a small apartment or simply have a small dining room, you'll want to invest in a round pedestal dining table. A round table will fit in smaller or irregularly shaped spaces, and you can squeeze a few more people around it when you entertain since there are no corners. With a pedestal base, you'll have the maximum amount of leg room for your family or friends. Other space saving items, such as a kitchen cart, will help you to make the most of an apartment or house with smaller kitchen and dining spaces.
If you have a few extra dining spots in your home, specialty tables help you make the most of them. Grab a small bistro table for your patio, so you can sit with your morning coffee or dessert after dinner. It will be the perfect addition to the rest of your patio furniture. For breakfast or group homework sessions, a breakfast nook bundle comes with everything you'll need. Nook bundles typically come with a table and three benches. You can set it up in most corners to create a great casual dining spot. With a few different places to eat, you won't have to set or clean up the main table every time you want a small snack.
If your dining room is long and narrow, you may want a rectangular table. The shape will allow for better flow of traffic in and out of the room. To maximize the space of your rectangular table, it's helpful to place a bench on one side of the table so more people can sit along that side. Then, when the meal is over, you can slide it under the table and out of the way. You can also place cushions on the bench to make it as comfortable as the other seats around the table.
Giving your family and friends a place to gather and eat will make every meal that much more enjoyable. Sears has all the right kitchen table options to help you make the most of your dining spaces.

Food processors can take on almost any culinary challenge
Open up the possibilities of your kitchen with a new food processor. These versatile appliances are a great addition to your kitchen whether you're a beginner or a skilled chef. They're a great way to cut out the time-consuming process of dicing vegetables, and they handle many other tasks like grating cheese or mixing dough. Find models at Sears that fit your kitchen perfectly, whether you're looking for a small appliance to chop up a few cups of food, or one with a large bowl to help prepare a family meal. You're sure to discover plenty of uses for your food processor in any recipe.
If you often find yourself short on time when it comes to preparing dinner, food processors can help cut out prep time and get meals on the table faster. They're great as vegetable choppers, and can help you get ingredients diced up and ready for all kinds of dishes. If you love ethnic cooking, a food processor can help you slice up vegetables for a healthy stir fry, or mix up great-tasting fresh salsa in minutes. These appliances can handle tougher foods like nuts and beans so you can finely chop ingredients for pesto, or puree all your favorite flavors in a smooth hummus.
Food processors can handle more than just slicing. Some models come with a special dough blade that lets you stir up dough or batter for bread, pasta, and pastries. This is a great option if you don't feel that you have space for a large stand mixer in a smaller kitchen. You'll get all the benefits of evenly mixed dough while enjoying the other features and possibilities of the food processor.
When you're done using your food processor, the blades and bowl easily disassemble and are dishwasher-safe for convenient and quick clean-up. Some larger models include an extra mini bowl that can be used for smaller jobs. If you typically prepare meals for one or two, a smaller 3 or 4 cup model makes just enough for smaller recipes and saves space in smaller kitchens and apartments. Combine it with a slow cooker and you'll be able to make all kinds of dishes without a lot of bulky appliances.
Food processors open up possibilities for your kitchen. You'll be inspired to try out exciting new recipes as you save time on the tedious aspects of food preparation. Find the best models for your home at Sears today.

Enjoy an assortment of Striped Delights! A multicolored collection for cheeks and eyes.
I have paired my Baked Cheek Dreams Trio in Neapolitan and Baked Eye Dreams Palette in
Sunset Horizon to combine, highlight and brighten your face. With my Striped Collection, you can use one, two, three or all of the colors for endless, versatile looks.
Blush and Highlighter Trio in Neapolitan
As anyone can tell you, I'm all about makeup being quick and easy. That's why I thought it would be genius to put side-by-side stripes of two great blushes, soft shimmering pink and marvelous mauve, plus a stripe of my most popular French Vanilla highlighter, in a single, take-everywhere compact that fits right in the palm of your hand! TIP: You're going to love the versatility of this sleek compact. You can use either one or the other blush solo, mix the two blushes together with the whisk of you brush, or sweep the brush over all three stripes for a wonderfully luminous effect.
Palette in Sunset Horizon
This quad of eye color is both versatile and luscious. The unique texture is made for me in Italy, and is a totally new generation of my Baked Collection. In this case, the baking process is uniquely different, allowing for superior color pay-off and blendability. You can even use some of these colors as a face or
body highlighter, and like all my Baked goods, can be used wet or dry. You're going to love the silky way it feels on your skin. For this palette, I selected four shades with the sultry shimmer of a tropical punch at sunset: light pearl, warm pink, soft copper and gentle gold. Experiment and have fun!

Western Awards Honorary Degree to Korean War Veteran
James Nauman came to Western State College of Colorado as a freshman in 1945 and was subsequently drafted by the Army, where he served for 18 months. After this initial period in the military, Jim spent the next two years studying Biology and Chemistry at Western.

Performance golf ball fitting focuses on finding the best ball for your game and lowering your score.
Titleist offers the most precise club fitting experience in the game.

Same here. Sound affects overall feel and I did not like the way the test ball sounded off of irons, and especially the putter. Ball did not back up as much as the PROV1X either on short irons. The short game is where this ball underperformed. Chipping did not have as much stopping power of the PROV1X and I found myslef having difficulty determining how far to allow for roll out. With the "X" you can literally piutch the ball to the hole with a hop and stop control ability.
Driving was great and overall I liked the flight of the ball but still prefer the PROV1X I usually play. I am a 2 handicap and think this ball performed more like an NXT Tour type of ball. Great for a mid range handicapper but not a ball to score with for a low handicapper with a variety of shots.
I received a sleeve of golf balls October 5, 2010 but have not the chance to test until recently. I tried to log on to web site in letter without success.
I was excited to break open the box and compare to Pro V 1x and Noodle.
I noticed the most difference in the short game from 100 yds in. Because of my budget I buy Noodle but after using the prototype ball I may need to re-budget in order to keep Titleist in the bag.
Drive edge Noodle my fade was tighter
Long irons no difference
Mid irons slight edge Noodle they seem to bite better
Around the green * sand traps * fringe Tiltiest
Putting Titliest
Two holes same length par 5 score Titliest 2 strokes better 4 -6
Much thanks for allowing me to be a tester. If the prototype were on market - heck with the budget - Titliest!!
Russ Krystowiak
I also received the prototype balls and evaluated them. I cannot log onto my account because I no longer use that email. How can I keep the same profile and change my email login? Can you help and change the email and password for me or just send my password to me and I will change it. Thanks
joe T
Well gentleman and ladies, thanks for allowing me to be a part of your testing. Several in my group have received test balls. Some the x and some the prov1. I commented on the survey but thought the survey left a little to be desired as far as all that could be said. The test ball was magnificant as usual, I noticed some lower ball flight, only a yard or two in distance, and with my long irons it seemed to roll out more in the green. Dont get me incorrectly ,, i Did like the ball. As far as the box,,,,, make it a stern traditional, Titeist needs not make the box stand out like a bull in a china shop, its the best and a player will find it. Now with fall upon us I might like to see a bright yellow for seasonal play.. I bet even the pros would play it,,, color does not reflect , harm or change performance so it really makes it easier to see in the fall winter months.
Next time , better check your links before you print all of the letters and that might just have prevented the thousands of "I cant use the link" emails.. lol...
This ball testing does create discussions all over the golf industry from amatures to pros. It, I am sure for the cost, far outweighs the expense to test them this way. Contragulations, I think it is a media coo!
Ok, we know the USGA regulates the distance a ball can go based on traditional testing. We know the limits they place on clubs to control ball and distance. So any manufacturer with in legal tolerences cannot make a ball fly further., You may say the nxt or prov goes further, but neither goes any different that usga standards,. Now my club head speed and face angle may be more than my friend beside me which may make it go further, but by Iron Byron standards there will not be a lot of difference. Feel is individual preference. Different balls have different feel.
Jarrod, you are absolutely correct with your analysis. I have been disappointed with Titleist for the past several years. As a low single digit handicap working amatuer, the last thing I can afford is new balls every two weeks. The original Pro V1 could withstand almost anything.........cart paths, bladed wedges, dog bites, etc........ I would take the ball out of play b/c it would turn YELLOW. Durability has been sacrificed for years in the development of the newer generation Pro V1 (and now V1 x).
Played 36 holes and I have noticed the first durabiltiy improvement since the original. Thank you Titleist for creating a ball for the working amatuer. I will be less apt to "try"competitor balls during the season.
I just had the same experience where the username and password were not required to complete survey.
I enjoyed the testing process and my biggest surprise was how much I noticed and preferred the Prototype 2 ball off the putter
compared to the DT Solo, NXT Tour S and Pro V1x. Didn't see that coming!
I tested this ball as well. Found the ball to play very good in the wind. Also the ball seemed a bit longer off the tee than the 2012 pro v1x for me. The ball responded well off of short irons as well as being able to suck the ball back a few feet with my 4 iron. (cant do that with previous model) All in all the ball played very well and I am happy with the changes I noticed.

These dangle earrings capture the cool radiance of winter. Faceted crystal quarts teardrops hang suspended from marquise cabochons of cool blue amazonite. Stunning sterling silver scrollwork designs hold them together. These Wintergreen treasures were made with wintry style in mind, but will coolly complement your year-round wardrobe.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

ProTek RC 1/8 Scale Silicone Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set (Black) (2)
With your purchase, receive at no cost:
This is a set of two ProTek R/C Silicone Exhaust Manifold Gaskets, and are intended for use with 1/8 Scale Nitro Engines. The Exhaust Manifold Gasket seals the fitting between the engine port and exhaust manifold and also the fitting between the exhaust manifold and tuned pipe. With the silicone exhaust gasket sandwiched between these hard metal pieces, over time the gasket tends to lose it resiliency as it absorbs the intense heat and vibrations from the engine. As this happens, the exhaust gasket tends to deteriorate and becomes vulnerable to rips and tears which can cause the engine to lose its tune and possibly become damaged.

More American Apparel Ads Banned For Being 'Sexual And Objectifying'
Huffpo – Controversial US retailer American Apparel has once again flouted advertising regulations with images of women in vulnerable poses "likely to cause serious offence" to visitors to its website, a watchdog has ruled. The clothing brand has regularly broken advertising rules for using exploitative images of young women. Recently the brand posted six photos of a model in a bodysuit and thigh-high socks on a bed without her face shown, from the front showing her legs open or in a kneeling or reclining position. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) investigated a complaint that the models appeared vulnerable and the ads were offensive because they were overtly sexual and objectified women. Responding to the complaint, American Apparel said it "did its best" to abide by the standards of the industry as well as creating "authentic, honest and memorable images" relevant to its customer base.
And here I was pretty sure the entire concept of being a MODEL was to be objectified. What a fool I am, huh?
Just goes to show you can't please everybody. Use super skinny pro models and fat chicks are upset, use too much photoshop and ugly chicks are upset, use real models with no photoshop and the Advertising Standards Authority jumps down your throat. It's a can't-win situation.
Personally I love American Apparel. The shirts may be soft but their ads leave me anything but. Seems completely backwards for somebody to throw shade on a company to for using untouched real pictures of real chicks wearing clothes MADE IN AMERICA. But I guess when you work for the ASA (which must stand for Federal Bunch of Sticklers) or any government agency you learn the art of sucking fun out of everything.

In 1961 maverick psychiatrist and libertarian Professor Thomas Szasz published his controversial and influential epic, The Myth of Mental Illness. In it he argued that mental illness is a fiction and a medical metaphor. Half a century later he maintains we live in a therapeutic state—a 'pharmacracy' where psychiatry is synonymous with coercion. On the eve of his 89th birthday he joins Natasha Mitchell in conversation over two weeks about his contentious legacy.
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/allinthemind/s ... 544843.htm
Controversial psychiatrist Professor Thomas Szasz wrote The Myth of Mental Illness in 1961. Nearly 50 years later, on the eve of his 89th birthday, he continues to both ignite and inspire -- as the huge number of comments on the All in the Mind blog indicates after our extended interview with him. This week, two psychiatrists respond to their profession's most vigilant critic.

XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Advanced Underwater Photography from Amherst Media takes you "deep" into the world of shooting beneath the sea. With its accent on more advanced skills, this book stills tarts with the basics and then takes you further into the realm of underwater photography. This is a comprehensive work with detailed explanations of exposure, focus, subject selection, and composition. Tips and techniques will be discussed in relation to all these photo principles.
However, the book will also delve into what it takes to move from a simple, low-depth point and shoot underwater camera into what it takes to use more advanced digital SLRs while diving. The wide variety of equipment available for deeper dives will be taken into consideration with the pros and cons of each covered in detail. The book also contains a trouble-shooting section that will help you problem solve while out diving.

quote:if someone were to hit waivers at 10:00 pm on 4/7 would they be a FA at 4:00 am or whatever the new day starts on 4/8 if we decreased to one day? Because I'd rather ensure a full 24 hours to see the waiver wire.

Steve Jobs came up with all of that and Bill Gates (and a million other programmers) copied those ideas.

Interview: Talking Hearthstone with the developers
During the 20-minute interview, I asked the developers several questions, some on behalf of the lore nerds, others for the collectors among us. We discussed some of the game features planned for launch, as well as the possibility of implementing e-sports capabilities later. Also touched upon were the game's visual aspects, like the art work and animated game boards.
And for those of you with a history playing other strategy card games like Magic: The Gathering, I learned a bit more about Hearthstone gameplay and how the Forge works.

The Grandmother I Never Knew
My father and grandmother
16 comments:
- CMPointer said...
Your post hits "home", so to speak, with me. The Martin line that I'm trying to research more about long distance was my dad's mom's family, who I wasn't very close to. My mother and my dad's mom [my Paw Paw] just never got along. It's "funny" how curious I am of her and her family, and how much more I know her now than I did when she was alive. I look at her beautiful photos, and I want to know more. If only she were alive now that I know how important her story is to my story. Oh well. I guess there are some things we have to learn the hard way...and, in a way, maybe we're better off for it. I don't know.

Thank you Carolyn, it's that old "Shouda, coulda, woulda" thing isn't it.
A part of life I suppose, a sucky part, but a part none the less. - November 5, 2009 at 8:56 AM

Sheri, your thoughts and feelings are very normal. They are not selfish at all so don't beat yourself up! You didn't know your grandmother so you can't feel the same emotion felt when someone close passes on. She was a grandmother in name only, very sad, and I hope one day your uncles tell you their version of what happened. But remember it's only *their* version!
My dad always regretted that he never knew his grandfather so your blog post hit home for me. My father didn't know that his granddad lived just 6 miles from him! When my dad was 23, his father announced that he was going to his father's funeral (my dad's grandpa's funeral).
That was the first time my father even knew his grandpa was still alive. Turns out that my dad's father and grandfather had not spoken in over 25 years even though they lived just a few miles apart. Such a tragic part of life but it happens more frequently than you might think - November 5, 2009 at 9:30 AM
- Nana said...
Your posting "hit home" with me too! When I was born all four of my grandparents were no longer living. I too think this was the reason I took up the interest in genealogy over 45 years ago. Now that I am a grandmother to five grandchildren, I realize what I truly missed. However, there is no way to make the loss other than become closer with those relatives who are living. However, this is very hard with family living thousands of miles apart. I truly understand what you are going through.

A great heart-felt post and I know many of us have had the same experience with an estranged relative. - November 5, 2009 at 9:34 AM
- Apple said...
As Thomas said, many of us have had estrangements in our families and the emotions they create are tricky things. Maybe now is a good time to get in touch with your uncles. I'm very sorry you never got to know your grandmother.
- November 5, 2009 at 9:46 AM
- TOPSPINUT said...
Hey Sheri well done. I suspect we all have such a "life" experience we could share. I never knew my paternal grandfather and hardly my paternal grandmother. Finding out more about our ancestors is one element that makes genealogy important. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
- November 5, 2009 at 9:47 AM
- Kerry said...
As others have said, many of us have estranged relatives, and I think your feelings are completely normal.
- November 5, 2009 at 11:24 AM
- GrannyPam said...
I am sorry you never knew your grandmother. I can barely remember one grandparent, two others died before I was born, and the fourth was out of the picture. Since we really *are not* in control, things like this are certainly difficult. I hope you will be able to reconcile you loss, and find some information that will help you understand.

- Becky Jamison said...
Sheri, this is a wonderful tribute to your grandmother, even though you didn't know her. I taught school in Salina, KS when I got out of college. It's a very pretty town. I'm so sorry you never had a relationship with Myrtle...it was HER loss as well as yours. It's wonderful that you have the photos!
- November 5, 2009 at 1:46 PM
- Sheri said...
It wasn't Sacred Heart Catholic school was it? That is the name of the school my dad attended.
To all, thanks for the shoulder to cry on (so to speak). See that's just one of the many reasons I love this group of people - the Geneabloggers. Family needn't be blood to be kin! - November 5, 2009 at 2:17 PM
- Barbara Poole said...
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is quite sad. I go along with the others who commented. I have a feeling she had a sad life after the deaths though, but she would be thrilled that you are working on her lineage.
- November 5, 2009 at 5:46 PM
- Cindy Bergeron Scherwinski said...
What a wonderful tribute to your Dad and your grandmother. One of the many benefits of age means we can look back at the self-centerness of youth and be thankful we are no longer that impetious person. Those of us who are able to learn that lesson, move forward and it appears you have as well and will do what we can - Blessings to you!!!

Motha Sheri,
Thanks for sharing. It's not an easy topic to write about, but you may learn that you are not the only one to have this sort of experience. Thanks for your honesty!

I can identify. My dad died when I was 17 (he was 60). My paternal grandparents were deceased before I was born so he was my link to memories of them. Too bad that being a teenager myself it never occurred to me to ask him about them.
I did seek out siblings of his in recent years when I became interested in genealogy. Almost all of them were happy to share a few photos and memories.
I say, "go for it!" Look up those uncles and start asking questions. Alzheimer's runs in families. You may have less time than you think to get those answers... - November 8, 2009 at 7:57 AM

You look like her.

Aha! I haven't lived here (Aix-en-Provence) very long, and I WONDERED why our local grocery store was displaying fish-shaped chocolates. I wonder where you photographed the first poisson. . . The Cezanne plaque looks just like all the ones we have in the streets here. . .are they cherished farther afield, too?
