The RocketBallz rescue showcases a Speed Pocket in the sole that boosts ball speed dramatically, while Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower Center of Gravity (CG) to promote a higher launch and more distance. The clubhead is exceptionally large for a hybrid, with a deep face and high-MOI (Moment of Inertia) head for easy launch. The lightweight shaft and grip promote faster swing speed and the white crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top of the clubhead. The TP shaft is available in both the Matrix Altus 85 and the RE*AX 85.
"The RocketBallz Speed Pocket in the sole drastically changes the head's impact dynamics, promoting a distinct increase in clubface COR for more distance." - Todd Beach, TaylorMade Senior Director - Metalwood Research & Development

I got this club in the 2h to replace my 3 wood and all I can say is wow! I've only been playing for about 4 years, I had trouble hitting my woods so I wanted something more forgiving. My swing speed is in the upper 90's and I have no problem getting the ball 200+ out of the fairway. Off a tee I get it 220+. The ball goes where you aim it!

Weekly Bible Study
Welcome to our third edition of "The Devil is Out to Get Me But I'm Not Havin' It." In our last two Bible Studies, we spoke about how prayer and handy Bible verses can protect us from Satan's darts. In today's lesson, let's give music some props. After all, it is a fact that music lifts mood and promotes healthy endorphins. Plus, it's kind of hard to think about how bad your life is when you're singing songs of worship to Jesus. Don't believe us? Just see what the Bible has to say about this. And leave a prayer request! We are here for you. more»

Additional Bible Studies
In our last Bible Study we spoke about how the scripture is a powerful aid against spiritual warfare. Another powerful tip for your spiritual tool belt is prayer time. If you can't be quiet, you can't hear God. This is such a basic concept, and yet so hard to remember. Even more funny is that while we can't seem to hear God when we're running, we certainly can hear the devil. Sometimes he speaks to us in quiet whispers while we're waiting for our coffee at a crowded Starbucks. "That lady, she looks so much better than you." Sometimes he shouts at us, perhaps also at the same Starbucks, "You don't have the cash for that with your job about to go away, but spend the five dollars anyway! You deserve it!" The devil is so very smart and sneaky, because he will disguise something at the truth with just a little partial lie inside. It's hard to discern what is true and what is not when we are busy, stressed and frantic. So how can we best figure it out? You guessed it - quiet time with God. Here are 5 verses to encourage you in your prayer life. And leave a prayer request, too! more »
Has it seemed lately that no matter what you do, nothing is going your way? I'm not talking running late for work, or having someone snag the last space at the shopping mall on a blistering summer day. I'm talking about stuff that feels intentionally designed to mess you up. Oppressive. Burdening. Supernaturally created to make you fail. Perhaps it IS supernatural. As Christians, we call it Spiritual Warfare. To be specific, "Spiritual warfare is the Christian version of the concept of taking a stand against supernatural evil forces. The foundation for this ideology is having a belief in evil spirits which are able to intervene in human affairs." What's interesting about this particular definition is that it implies Christians fighting the evil, not the other way around. To quote a pastor I saw speak about this on Wednesday, no matter what the devil tries to do, we win. Why? Because God is leading the battle for us. I'll be discussing this a lot over the next week or so, so check back with ways to protect yourself. The first way? Have scripture handy. Here are five verses to help you fight the good fight. And, as always, how can we pray for you? more »
This question has been sent to Believe.com more times than we can count. So, to make it as brief as possible, let's just answer the question like this: Nope. more »
Loving difficult people is not easy. But if you do it, you'll be blessed. It doesn't mean not setting boundaries. But it does mean reacting from a gentle heart, not an angry one. more »
Dear Lord, I Am So Cranky Lately! It seems everyone is getting me crazy, from my spouse to my best friend to my kids. Even my dog is driving me nuts. (That dog needs to eat every single day. Who knew? ) It's not like anything has changed that much in my life, and yet everything feels so much more frustrating. I am incredibly uptight and anxious. It wasn't until driving to work today, in bumper to bumper traffic (after locking my keys in the car) that I realized the world is not out to get me. The only one out the get me is you - you are out to get me to find you and rest in you. I just haven't done that lately at all. Here are some verses to remind me that true peace can only come from you. And please, if you have prayer requests, by all means leave them! more »
We're talking a lot about modesty this week at Believe.com. What does it mean, really, and how does it affect the Christian? Modesty, by definition, means "freedom from vanity, boastfulness, etc. regard for decency of behavior, speech, dress, simplicity." As Christians, we are are called to this in our dress, actions and morals. Why? Is it to keep us chained up and boring? Far from it. Being modest means that we are not attracting attention to our bodies and actions so that God can get the credit. It doesn't mean we need to dress in a sack cloth and live in a barn. Be stylish and outgoing if you want! But by acting with class and dignity, we will show the world there is something special about us. Our modesty might just be the only Bible any non-Christian ever reads.Here are five verses about modesty. Does anyone need prayer in this area? more »
Do you ever feel like your life would have more meaning if you could just DO what you know you COULD DO but lack courage? Do you ever feel like the devil (who is described as a roaring lion out to pounce on you) has turned you from a roaring lion into a cowardly one? more »
Anyone out there experience jealously? You're not alone. We all go through it. but did you know the one person who is jealous for you in a good way? Yup, it's Jesus. more »
It's easy to get stuck in fear. "Will I ever find someone?" "Will the person I found be enough?" "Will I ever be enough?" The truth is that we can't control other people. Nor can we pin our emotions on temporary things like work, friendship, family and health. The only thing we can do is trust in the Lord who is our rock. Here are a few verses to turn to if you're feeling fearful. Isn't it time you go liberated and freed yourself to live with the purpose God created you to live? At Believe.com, we know that God has your back. So do we! How can we pray for you? What are you afraid of? more »
Patience is a virtue, or so they say. For many of us, this virtue is not something we attain easily. The reason behind this is that we often put too much "we" into it instead of asking for God's help. When was the last time you prayed before dealing with that annoying PTA president? What about for your drive to work when jerks inevitably cut you off on the freeway? When was the last time you stopped referring to everybody as jerks but instead had compassion for them? more »
Getting married, or even starting a serious relationship, is tough. The bigger question, before you ask if someone is right for you, is to ask yourself if YOU are right for God. Here are three things to consider. more »
Of COURSE God knows how much you want to get married. He created you in your mother's womb. Don't you think he has the entire thing figured out down to the rice being thrown? (Or the elopement in Vegas with a preacher man that looks like Elvis?) The real question is: Do you trust God to provide the right person at the right time? Can you get over your own human impatience while you wait? If you can't, do not feel bad. You are not a saint. It's not easy, or you would not need God. But let us tell you that it's ten times worse to marry out of your flesh just because the person is there, rather than wait for the Christian spouse who honors Jesus as much as you do. From your finances, to your personal views on raising kids, you want to do this with someone who shares your values. Is a home built in a day? No, it takes plans, and failures, and lots of sweat. It takes a great architect. You've got the builder in God, but are you willing to fail at a few relationships with the wrong one until the right one comes along? Here's some Scripture for you - especially those in the waiting room. How can we pray for you? more »
"Til death do us part" is how the saying goes at a wedding. But what if your marriage feels like death? What if, after trying everything, it just isn't working? more »
This week's women's newsletter is focusing on women who are addicted to love. Yes, there is such thing as too much love, especially when the "love" is more like "obsession." Who should our first love be? God, of course. It sounds trite to say it, but when you actually start doing it - placing Jesus front and center - you'll be shocked at how much lighter your load gets. For those with more serious addiction, counseling, fellowship and support is always advised. For those who just want help lifting some of their more obsessive natures, consider prayer as your first go-to for help! Here are just a few verses to encourage you. more »

Gluten-Free Pizza-Making Class
LivingSocial's 918 F Street • Washington, DC
Use between Friday, October 11 – Sunday, January 26
What you get
- $49 for Admission for One
- Make Dough & Sauce from Scratch, then Personalize Your Pizza with Toppings
- Make a Chickpea Salad Side Dish
- Hands-On Instruction from Owner of The Happy Tart
You're well aware that gluten gives dough its elasticity, but are you also aware of the expansive flavors that come with foods that leave the gluten out? Expand your culinary skills to have a ball with this gluten-free pizza-making class courtesy of The Happy Tart. Class participants will learn how to make pizza crust from a special pre-made gluten-free flour blend, a homemade red sauce, and a chickpea salad -- all with absolutely zero gluten. A slew of goodies like pepperoni, diced pepper, cheese, and mushrooms will be available to decorate your 'za -- and while it cooks, you'll compete in group trivia. It's no stretch to say that gluten-free no longer means flavor-free.
LivingSocial's 918 F Street's Website | Facebook | Twitter
*For customers with severe gluten allergies: 918's kitchens are not gluten-free, as foods containing gluten are also cooked in the same facilities. Though 918 tries its best to avoid cross-contamination, we caution customers who cannot eat out of an entirely gluten-free kitchen.
behind the scenes...
While attending a Professional Pastry Arts program at a culinary school in Maryland, The Happy Tart owner Emma Cech discovered she was allergic to gluten. Instead of giving up on her dream to open a French bakery, Cech found ways to turn flour-based confections into gluten-free delights and opened The Happy Tart in Alexandria.

About GHRI Ratings
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.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
With an unfussy design an iPod dock planted into one of two large speakers this product has a unique look that prompted mixed reviews from testers. Sound quality was solid, but it suffered on its ease of use, because the main controls, located on the back of the speakers, are difficult to access. A remote control, auxiliary connection cable, and dock adapters for iPod and iPhone are included. sierrasound.com.

Hello everybody,
I know it's about time again, I was a little busy with LEDs lately, had some very interesting visits of customers working with LEDs and was working a webinar for use of LEDs in Automotive. You can click here to register now for this Automotive LED webinar.
But this time it is not about Automotive but about LEDs, I just happened to read an article about Applebee's plan to switch to LED lighting to save energy, costs and the environment. In a test project they refurbished the Doylestown Applebee's to LED lighting and predicted an investment payback in 11 month, reduce CO2 emissions by 630,000 lbs (286.000 kg) over the lifetime of the LEDs by reducing the electrical demand. The LEDs shall reduce the energy consumption by 440,000 kWh over the lifetime of the lights. That would be about the amount of 53 SUVs less on the streets. Since there are about 2,000 Applebee's out there worldwide, imagine the savings. Ok, let's do a calculation here, let's assume the above mentioned values are the average if all 2,000 Applebee's would use LED lighting, this would give the following values:
1,260,000,000 lbs (572.000.000 kg = 572.000 tons) of CO2 reduction by pure energy saving with a reduction of 880,000,000 kWh = 880 GWh which would be like taking about 106,000 SUVs off the road. Or if we consider shutting down a nuclear power plant as we won't need the energy created by a nuclear power plant , we would be able to shut down the nuclear power plant "Nine Mile Point" near Oswego, NY as example (annual energy generation of about 14,000 GWh) for approximately 3 weeks. Of course this is over the life time of the lights, but this is only Applebee's, now consider street lights, households factories and not to mention the fuel consumption and pollution from cars fi they were all equipped with LEDs. So just as a rough estimate, wouldn't that save a huge amount of energy and ease the burden on our already heavily burdened environment?
Now when the investment pays back in 11 month, with an energy reduction of 440,000kWh and an average price of $0.15 per kWh, they would have saved about $66,000 or for all 2,000 Applebee's that would be $132,000,000. That would be about 10% of their 2005 revenue and that in 11 month!
I found these numbers impressive! I know from myself that sometime people can be just too lazy to act on the simplest things such as switching the phone or electricity provider even if there is a cheaper one out there who would even provide us with a better product and in case of electricity even with green power. So if just everyone would just say "Hey, he's right! Let's switch our bulbs to LEDs." then this would already be a huge improvement. But to be honest, I have one LED bulb at home. I thought I'll try it and paid around 20 Euro and that's a lot, but only if you think of it as the current purchase. Now think about how often you have to buy light bulbs and since in some countries light bulbs will disappear from the market over the next few years (that's how it is in Germany, so for me) the alternative would be fluorescent bulbs, but I noticed a huge weakness of them: the don't last very long if you only use light occasionally and not constantly. I bought two or three of them over the last few years and always noticed that the last about a year because you switch the light on when you enter a room and off again when you leave it after a few minutes such as the bathroom or bedroom. The are simply not made for such applications. Now with LEDs they don't care really how often you switch them on and off and have instant full illumination power compared to the slow increasing power of fluorescent bulbs.
No I plan to get more LED lamps and bulbs over the time and with LEDs constantly improving, the efficiency of them is improving and making them even more economic and environment friendly.
If you want to learn more about LED thermal design in consumer applications, have a look on my webinar "Demystifying LED Design for Everyday Applications with Concurrent CFD".
See you next time,

The Atlantic Treaty Association and Youth Atlantic Treaty Association
- English
- French
The Atlantic Treaty Association (ATA) is an independent organization designed to support the values enshrined in the North Atlantic Treaty. Created 18 June 1954, the ATA is an umbrella organization for the separate national associations, voluntary organizations and non-governmental organizations that formed to uphold the values of the Alliance after its creation in 1949.
Composed of Members, Associates Members and Observer Members, the ATA seeks to inform the public of NATO's role in international peace and security. To achieve this goal, it holds international seminars and conferences and has launched several initiatives, including the Central and South Eastern European Security Forum, Ukrainian Dialogue and Crisis Management Simulations. The ATA is also an active participant in NATO's Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme and Mediterranean Dialogue.
The ATA has a youth division - the Youth Atlantic Treaty Association (YATA) - which was formed in 1996. Although several of the Members and Associate Members had youth divisions prior to this date, the creation of YATA served to pull these separate divisions together to help coordinate activities. Similarly to the ATA, YATA seeks to inform the younger generation of NATO's role in international security.
The role of the ATA and YATA
The ATA
The ATA has several aims, including upholding the values set forth in the North Atlantic Treaty, promoting democracy, and educating and informing the public of NATO's work and responsibilities. It also strives to promote solidarity between the people of the North Atlantic region, those in countries which have signed up to the Partnership for Peace Framework, those participating in the Mediterranean Dialogue and people who are directly concerned with Euro-Atlantic security.
In addition to promoting increased solidarity, the ATA also seeks to increase cooperation between various organizations connected with Euro-Atlantic security, such as Member Associations of the ATA, the governments of Member Associations, the European Union, NATO and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. It also conducts research into NATO's open door policy, i.e., enlargement and promotes the development of civil society in the Black Sea and Caucasus regions.
The ATA encourages discourse and debate with the goal of establishing a solid comprehension of key Alliance issues. It also engages in a dialogue with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries that cooperate with the Alliance. In addition to this, it works to develop relations between organizations in different countries by connecting with civil society groups that support the basic principles of the North Atlantic Treaty and aiding in developing relations between its Members.
The ATA's youth division - YATA – was formed in 1996 during the ATA's General Assembly in Rome.
It works in close cooperation with the ATA, supports its activities and shares its primary goals. They include educating and informing the public about issues concerning international security, supporting research into NATO's role in the world and encouraging young leaders to shape the future of the transatlantic security relationship while promoting its importance.
YATA also seeks to encourage cooperation between the youths of NATO member countries and partner countries, and between various international organizations to generate debate about the role of security institutions.
Although YATA is officially part of the ATA, it also holds separate activities to achieve its objectives, such as its annual Atlantic Youth Seminars in Denmark (DAYS), Latvia (LAYS) and Portugal (PAYS), as well as Crisis Management Simulations and regional conferences. YATA also works with NATO's Public Diplomacy Division to organize international conferences and seminars where young leaders from the national YATA chapters are able to meet the NATO Secretary General, other NATO officials and Alliance leaders to discuss and debate transatlantic security issues.
Working mechanisms
The ATA is composed of three main bodies: the Assembly, the Bureau and the Council, as well as the YATA and the Committee of Patrons.
The Assembly
The Assembly is the top decision-making body of the ATA. It is comprised of delegates from Member, Associate Member and Observer Member associations. With the exception of Observer Members, each delegate has one vote and resolutions are passed by a simple majority. In addition to the delegates, members of the press and academic community, government and military officials, and international observers may attend the General Assembly meetings, which are held once a year.
The Bureau
The Bureau includes the President, Vice Presidents, Secretary General, Treasurer, YATA President and the Legal Adviser. Members of the Bureau assist in carrying out the decisions of the Council and the Assembly and aid in policy matters, in addition to developing relationships with other groups such as the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
The Council
Bureau members plus up to three delegates from each ATA Member, Associate Member and Observer Member associations make up the Council. ATA allows the Council to take action on its behalf, with the recommendation of the Bureau and the approval of the Assembly. The Council holds two meetings a year: once at NATO Headquarters and once at the General Assembly.
The YATA
The Youth Atlantic Treaty Association is officially part of the ATA. It serves as the youth division of the ATA and has its own structure, activities and programmes. Similarly to the ATA, it has Members and Associate Members.
The Committee of Patrons
The Committee of Patrons is comprised of previous ATA Presidents and other people who have served ATA with merit.
The President of the ATA is in charge of the general policy of the Association, in addition to acting as its spokesperson. The Assembly, with input from the Council, elects the President for a three-year period.
The Secretary General is in charge of day-to-day operations for the ATA, furthering its goals and aims, implementing the decisions of the Assembly, Council and the Bureau, and maintaining relationships with various other institutions. The Assembly, with input from the Council and the Bureau, elects the Secretary General for a three-year renewable period.
The Assembly also elects the Treasurer, who is in charge of financial matters, for a renewable three-year period.
There are three different types of membership in ATA: Members, Associate Members and Observers.
The national associations which come from NATO member countries may join the ATA as Members. As Members, they may attend and participate in Bureau, Council and Assembly meetings. They also have full voting rights.
Currently Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States are ATA Members.
Associate Members
The national associations that make up the Associate Members of ATA come from non-NATO countries that have signed up to PfP. Associate Members may attend and participate in Bureau, Council and Assembly meetings. Once an association's respective country joins NATO, the association automatically becomes a Member. Much like Members, Associate Members also have full voting rights.
Current Associate Members include Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Finland, Georgia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia ¹, Russia, Serbia, Sweden and Ukraine.
Observer Members
Associations from non-NATO countries who have not signed up to PfP, but whose countries either participate in the Mediterranean Dialogue or have a direct interest in Euro-Atlantic security issues can still participate in the ATA under the status of Observer Members. As Observer Members, the national associations may attend and participate in Council and Assembly meetings, but not Bureau meetings. Also, unlike Members and Associate Members, Observer Members have no voting rights. Currently, only Israel is an Observer Member.
1. Turkey recognizes the Republic of Macedonia with its constitutional name.
Evolution of the ATA
Following the creation of the Alliance in 1949, several separate organizations in NATO member countries formed with the goal of informing the public of NATO's activities and its role in international relations. Eventually the organizations came together under the umbrella of the Atlantic Treaty Association after its creation on 18 June 1954.
Although previously focused on public debate and discussion about NATO's activities during the Cold War, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and with it the Warsaw Pact, the ATA's focus expanded. It now extends beyond the Euro-Atlantic region to include Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Caucasus and the Mediterranean regions. Several of the ATA's more recent initiatives, such as the Central and South Eastern European Security Forum, Ukrainian Dialogue and Crisis Management Simulations, highlight this new focus.
In addition to being an active participant in NATO's PfP programme and the Mediterranean Dialogue, the ATA also hosts several international seminars and conferences each year in order to further its objectives.

quote:I wouldn't doubt if Tenn did approach him for a HC job to be honest with you.
quote:No, I'm saying he could be offered as OC/RC depending on who they get as HC. Ole Miss tried to give him the OC job last year but he deflected it because it wouldn't be his offense anyway. Not sure he wanted to go in that mess either over in Ole Piss. It would take something attractive to remove him from LSU but you better believe he's going to be targeted a lot. Look at the talent he's rolling into LSU since he came here...we have arguably our most talented teams ever under Frank. We need to throw the bank at him and keep him here. Give him an OC/HC waiting title - something. He's going to be successful wherever he goes. He'll be targeted even more this upcoming coaching change because teams are going to want Louisiana's very top-heavy recruiting next year. Arguably one of the better ones in recent memory. All the more reason why Frank is important to keep at LSU...

It works brilliantly and she is happy to drift off to sleep by herself looking at the stars. The constellations are not that clear but as nightlight for a baby it couldn't be better. It is not too bright that it keeps her awake but allows enough light for me to pick her up and feed her by if she wakes. Excellent value for money.

Fine needle aspiration of the thyroid gland is a procedure to remove thyroid cells for examination. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located inside the front of the lower neck.
Thyroid nodule fine needle aspirate biopsy; Biopsy - thyroid - skinny-needle; Skinny-needle thyroid biopsy
This test may be done in the health care provider's office or in a hospital. Numbing medicine (anesthesia) may or may not be used because the needle is very thin.
You lie on your back with a pillow under your shoulders and your neck extended. The biopsy site is cleaned. A thin needle is inserted into the thyroid, and a sample of thyroid cells and fluid are removed. The needle is then taken out.
Pressure is applied to the biopsy site to stop any bleeding. The site is then covered with a bandage.
Tell your health care provider if you have drug allergies , bleeding problems, or are pregnant. You should also make sure your health care provider has a current list of all medicines you take, including herbal remedies and over-the-counter drugs.
A few days to a week before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking medicines that make it harder for your blood to clot. Talk with your doctor before stopping any drugs. The drugs you may need to stop taking include:
If numbing medicine is used, you may feel a sting as the needle is inserted and the medicine is injected.
As the needle passes into the thyroid, you may feel some pressure, but it should not be painful.
You may have slight discomfort in your neck afterward. You may also have slight bruising, which soon goes away.
This is a test to diagnose thyroid disease or thyroid cancer . It is often used to find out if thyroid nodules that are felt by the doctor or seen by ultrasound are noncancerous or cancerous.
The thyroid tissue looks normal and the cells do not appear to be cancer under a microscope.
Abnormal results may mean:
The main risk is bleeding into or around the thyroid gland. If bleeding is severe, there may be pressure on the windpipe (trachea). This problem is rare.

And now for something completely self-glorifying!
In between blog posts here, I (and society at large) force myself to actually write for money. Sometimes, it's actually even fun! Like when I spent the bulk of 2010 happily employed as "Fairy GodWriter" to entrepreneur and SavvyAuntie.com founder Melanie Notkin during the researching, writing and editing of her first book, Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide For Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers and All Women Who Love Kids — a book which, ahem, happens to come out today.
Is the book awesome? Yes, it is, in that even if you have no interest in changing poopy diapers, it will make you believe that changing a poopy diaper would actually be fun. Is the book not just Auntie-savvy, but cocktail-savvy? Indeed, it is that, too, as it contains a pair of cocktail recipes courtesy of yours truly, perfectly geared to the woman who loves afternoon outings with someone else's little ones as much as she cherishes the well-earned cocktail she treats herself to once she's back home in her un-babyproofed lair.
The cocktail from the book that I want to talk about today is what we dubbed the DebutAunt Highball — served as the signature cocktail at a DebutAunt Ball, which is like a shower for first-time Aunties. (If you love puns as much as I do, hoo man, you are going to love this book!) The DebutAunt Highball is a variation on the Pink Lady, a frothy, blush-hued tipple that harks back to 30s-era glamour, boa-trimmed piegnoirs, Ginger Rogers, and bubble-bath scenes in black-and-white talkies. The Pink Lady was Hollywood and high society (Eric Felten wrote in How's Your Drink? that Jayne Mansfield was a big fan of the concoction) but was also the Cosmopolitan of its day: A pink drink often ghettoized and ridiculed as being suitable for girlie girls only — albeit not by everyone. As Felten also wrote, "In his book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, Ted Haigh laments that because of the exaggerated femininity of its name, no self-respecting man has ever bellied up to the bar to order a Pink Lady — or at least not for himself. Haigh suggests the drink should be rechristened the 'Secret Cocktail' (the 'secret' being that one is actually drinking a Pink Lady)."
Women without kids of their own, as Savvy Auntie discusses, likewise can find themselves marginalized and maybe even a little derided for not fitting that "two-kids-one-husband-two-car-garage mold" (to quote the delightful book that you should buy right now), which led me to believe that the Pink Lady was a most fitting cocktail to adapt.
There are a number of different recipes out there for a Pink Lady, but even amongst those, I felt compelled to pare things back for Savvy Auntie, because as much as I'm a proud sister of the Auntourage, I didn't think it right to call for a relatively esoteric ingredient like applejack or cherry brandy in a mass-market book not about cocktails. (Really, my concern was that some folks might substitute Apple Pucker for the applejack, and then the Cocktail Police would be chasing me with sticks.)
But of course, for those of you here (which I hope includes some fellow Savvy Aunties — welcome, GourmAunts and Bon VivAunts!), I reveal the Pink Lady in all its old-school allure.
The Pink Lady (aka The DebutAunt Highball)
(Adapted primarily from How's Your Drink? Cocktails, Culture and the Art of Drinking Well, by Eric Felten)
2 ounces gin
2 ounces fresh lemon juice
1 ounce applejack or calvados
Splash of grenadine
1 tablespoon raw egg white
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and shake vigorously. Then fill shaker with ice and shake again. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass.
Tasting Notes:
See, even I don't have any applejack in the house. Hence, I used calvados.
Other Pink Lady recipes I've seen call for just cream and no egg white, or both cream and egg white. I think both seems a little redundant, no? Frothy is more important than creamy for this drink, so I stuck with just egg white.

HOUSE BEAUTIFUL (Michael S. Smith)
This room had me at the red checked curtains. I could definitely be comfortable in this pretty room. It has some very formal pieces in it, but the checked window curtains seem to bring all of it down to an inviting level. Not too formal to make a person feel uncomfortable. I love a wonderful mix of patterns.
Maybe I'm on a check "kick", but I love these blue checked curtains. I think the blue and white chinoiserie wallpaper and vases, the lovely fretwork on those chairs, and the wonderful light fixture, are beautiful and very formal. The checked curtains tone down the formality and make the room more interesting and inviting.
Oh how I love the mixture of red toile and red buffalo checks. I also love the mixture of blue, red, and yellow. Of course, I couldn't have that dark blue sofa at my house. It would show all of the dogs' hair. Did you notice those formal window treatments? The rest of the room, including the color combination, is so casual that the window treatments don't feel ostentatious.
This photo is an example of taking a room to a more formal level. I think of the kitchen as a casual area, almost unworthy of elegance. This unexpected elegant vignette is in a kitchen. A beautiful lamp, an urn filled with pears and a cloche turn the utilitarian kitchen into an elegant room.
I didn't even realize I had collected so many photos of checked fabrics until I started preparing this post. I think this back entryway is so inviting. To me, this says "welcome". Love the stone floor, of course the red check curtains, French doors, blue and white chinoiserie, and what appears to be cubbies for coats and shoes. See that pretty piece of antique furniture? It has a formal look, and so does the runner on the floor, but all of the other elements turn this into a casual room.
What a serene blue and white look. The wonderful mirror, chandelier, and dining table are so grand, but the cute pleated skirt slipcovers seem to bring the elegance down to a manageable level. It looks like the chair covers have a monogram on them – another plus in my book.
Do you mix formal and casual elements? I love the way these rooms feel more interesting to me, because they mix those two elements together. Thanks for coming by, and I hope you have a good weekend. laurie
