What's Hot
Top 10: Domestic Habits That Annoy Women
Page 2 of 2
Number 5
We litter the ground with laundry"A place for everything and everything in its place," they say. Well, that's a nice idea, but who has the time? It's far more fun to throw our clothes here and there as if a bomb went off in our closet. Not only is it faster to treat the floor like a giant laundry basket, but we can amuse ourselves for hours afterwards as we dodge and deke our fallen clothes while moving from room to room.
Number 4
We don't do houseworkWhen it comes to home repairs and renovations, men are king. We're unequalled in our ability to fix basement steps, patch up aluminum siding and build spice racks. When it comes to cleaning, however, we're lowly paupers without the faintest inclination to pitch in. We'll lift our feet if we have to, and we'll even move the odd piece of heavy furniture, but our contribution ends there. Hey, if God had wanted us to sweep and dust, he would have given us feathers instead of fingers.
Number 3
We burp & fart indiscriminatelyScientists and academics often comment upon what a shame it is that we use only 10% of our brains. For most men, the same reasoning applies to our sphincters and throats. Like any other part of our body, these muscles need to be kept in shape. And there's simply no better way of doing it than burping the alphabet or heating up a "Dutch Oven" under the sheets. Women needn't be disgusted by our behavior. In fact, they should be flattered that we're comfortable enough around them to risk sharting ourselves. At the end of the day, isn't that what love is all about?
Number 2
We develop a martyr complex when we get sickWhen women get sick, they take the appropriate medicine and bivouac themselves in bed with a hot compress and a good book. When men get sick we go into a Shakespearian death throe, certain we're on the verge of sputtering out our last breath. We collapse wherever is convenient, be it on the bed or on the front lawn, and mutter, moan and groan until we've scared off every living creature (and turned on every male dog) in a six-mile radius. It's not subtle, but more often than not it gets us the attention we crave.
Number 1
We channel surf rapidly (and seemingly aimlessly)As King of the Castle, we consider it our right to rule the remote control with an iron fist. For women, that means having to watch an endless parade of sports highlights, monster movies and home renovation shows. Making matters worse is the lightning-fast speeds at which we flip through the channels — so fast as to trigger epileptic seizures seven households away. Hey, it's not our fault there are 501 channels.
annoying things men do
It's been millions of years since we first emerged out of the primordial ooze, and we're still evolving at a glacier rate. Unfortunately for the fairer sex, we've chosen to embrace our domestic shortcomings rather than correct them, flaunting all the habits that make them grimace and squirm.Some day we might grow up. And some day pigs might fly.
Until then, we'll continue to enjoy our constitutional right to shamelessly scratch ourselves while watching sports highlights in our underwear. It's good being a man.

Conducting due diligence is a key aspect of any transaction, international or otherwise. Attorneys working on transactions conducted in Mexico or that involve Mexican entities ought to be aware of registration and certification requirements that are unique to Mexico and that can affect the good standing and validity of Mexican contracts and companies.
First, unlike the United States, many types of documents are required to be notarized in Mexico. For example, the incorporation of every company, the buying and selling of all types of real estate, the establishment of deeds and wills, the creation of mortgages all require notarization. Corporate formalities such as amending governing documents, appointing and removing directors, or merger transactions also require certification before a notary public.

5 Lucky Hollywood Ladies You Never Knew Were Irish!
Rebecca Zamer at Yahoo Celebrity11 hrs agoErin go bragh! St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and we're getting a head start on the festivities by revealing some of the lucky Hollywood ladies that you may not have known are Irish.
Megan Fox is so proud of her Irish heritage that she told Esquire in January 2013 about one particular mythical Irish creature she bought into. "I like believing. I believe in all of these Irish myths, like leprechauns," she said. "Not the pot of gold, not the Lucky Charms leprechauns. But maybe was there something in the traditional sense? I believe that this stuff came from somewhere other than people's imaginations. ... We should all believe in leprechauns."
And mama-to-be Olivia Wilde is so proud of her Irish heritage that she even has dual citizenship in Ireland as well as the United States! Another brunette beauty that's proud of her background is Demi Lovato. In November 2012 the singer revealed on Twitter that she has Irish roots, writing, "I found out that I am Irish, Hispanic, Native American, Portuguese and Jewish!!!"
7 Reasons Why Rob Lowe Is the Ultimate '80s Icon
Raechal Leone Shewfelt at Yahoo Celebrity19 hrs agoRob Lowe was the '80s.
The handsome actor started the decade somewhat innocently, then indulged himself at the height of his Brat Pack fame, and then saw it all go bust.
As the "St. Elmo's Fire" star turns 50 on March 17, here's a closer look at seven reasons why Lowe is the decade's ultimate icon.
1. He appeared in "ABC Afterschool Specials." It doesn't get much more '80s than this. After his first TV job on a short-lived sitcom called "A New Kind of Family," Lowe starred in two melodramatic specials, most notably 1980's "Schoolboy Father," which was about a high school senior who finds out by reading a newspaper birth announcement that his summer camp girlfriend (Dana Plato of "Diff'rent Strokes" fame). She wants to give the baby up for adoption, but Lowe decides to fight for custody. Seriously.
Chris Brown Jailed After Being Kicked Out of Rehab
Taryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity20 hrs agoIt might be time for someone to wake Chris Brown up.
The 24-year-old singer was arrested for violating probation, Yahoo confirms. Brown was kicked out of rehab for undisclosed reasons on Friday and taken immediately to jail.
According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, Brown was cooperative when taken into custody. He is being held without bail in downtown Los Angeles.
Brown — who is still on probation from attacking then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 — has been getting treatment for anger issues since October. On Feb. 28, a California judge ordered Brown to remain in an anger-management rehab program until his next court appearance on April 23, pending the verdict of separate charges filed against the singer in Washington, D.C.
Brown was told if he left rehab, he would be tossed in the slammer.
Why Gloria Steinem Is Sticking Up for Jennifer Aniston
Rebecca Zamer at Yahoo Celebrity20 hrs agoJennifer Aniston may be one of Tinsel town's most famous actresses, but ever since her marriage with Brad Pitt fell apart eight years ago, the media has been relentless. Now, Gloria Steinem is coming to her defense.
The 79-year-old, women's activist told People at Thursday night's premiere of the new HBO documentary, "Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life and Times of Katrina Gilbert," that Aniston's life can't compare to her own.
"I can say whatever it is that I feel. But because of her art and because she is known for playing characters, by definition not herself — I think it's more difficult for an actor like Jennifer to be understood as a unique human being."
The two women met when Aniston interviewed Steinem at February's MAKERS Conference, touching on gender diversity in Hollywood, feminism, and Steinem's impact on women's advancement.
While Aniston's life might be misunderstood by many, Steinem thinks that the 45-year-old actress is unfairly judged for not being married with children.
"What about George Clooney? Nobody brings that up, and he's much more ostentatiously unmarried with no kids — but in a fine way."
Rob Lowe and Madonna Like Totally Could Have Been the Hottest '80s Couple Ever
Suzy Byrne at Yahoo Celebrity22 hrs agoRob Lowe could have been the inspiration for Madonna's "Crazy for You," but things took a very different turn.
The 49-year-old "Parks and Recreation" alum has been married to wife Sheryl for 23 years, but in a new memoir coming out on April 8 called "Love Life," he details a missed love connection he had with none other than the Material Girl.
In the book he says their moment took place in the mid-1980s — after he wrapped 1985's "St. Elmo's Fire" and she was making headlines with her provocative "Like a Virgin" tour. While her music wasn't his thing, he was invited to check out one of her concerts at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles — she had a series of concerts there in April 1985 — and a security guard came over to Lowe's second-row seat after the show and said Madonna wanted to meet him backstage.
President Obama: Zach Galifianakis Was 'Pretty Nervous' During 'Between Two Ferns'
Taryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity1 day agoNot even Zach Galifianakis can keep his cool around POTUS.
President Barack Obama opened up about his hilarious appearance on the actor's Funny or Die mock interview Web series, "Between Two Ferns," when he called into "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" Friday morning.
"Zach actually was pretty nervous," Obama revealed. "It was funny to watch because this whole 'Between Two Ferns' schtick — which I wasn't familiar with before my staff told me that we had been pitched to do this — his whole character is to go after the guest and I think he was looking around and seeing all these Secret Service guys with guns and thinking, 'I wonder what happens here if I cross the line?' But we had a great time."
Obama's appearance on the Web show also scored him some cool points with his 15-year-old daughter, Malia.
What Do Adam Levine, Jennifer Lopez, and Jonah Hill's Moms Have in Common?
Hallie Stephens at Yahoo Celebrity1 day agoDo what your mama told you!
The moms of some of Hollywood's biggest stars have teamed up for a videourging young Americans to register for healthcare before the March 31 deadline. The Obama Administration launched the YourMomCares campaign on Friday and recruited the moms of Jonah Hill, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, and Jennifer Lopez.
Oh, and we should warn you: Hill's mom, Sharon Feldstein, is every bit the scene stealer and laugh-maker her son is. This apple definitely didn't fall far from the tree.
The video begins with the ladies recounting what their sons and daughters were like as tikes. "Jennifer walked at 8 months and she was climbing out of her crib when she was a year old," recalled J.Lo's mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez. "At one point I thought, 'Well, maybe she should be a gymnast.'"
Feldstein revealed that her son showed signs of a prankster early on, saying, "Jonah flooded the elementary school."
Kate Moss's Younger Sister Makes Modeling Debut
Taryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity1 day agoThere's a new Moss in town.
Kate Moss's younger half-sister, Lottie (get used to that name!), is making her modeling debut in the April issue of Teen Vogue.
"It kind of runs in the family," the 16-year-old student explains to the magazine. "Kate was a massive part of why I started."
Lottie first turned heads at Kate's 2011 wedding, when the then 13-year-old stunned in her Stella McCartney bridesmaid dress.
But just because Lottie is related to arguably the most famous model in the world, doesn't mean the 5-foot-5 beauty gets an automatic pass into the fashion world.
[Related: The Best Dressed College Students Across the Country]
Lottie had the looks and an agency — Kate's Storm Model Management — to represent her, but she needed parental permission before she made her foray into modeling.
Up until this year, Lottie denied all photo shoot and interview requests at her mom and dad's orders. They wisely insisted she focus on school. (Lottie lists history, English, and P.E. as her favorite subjects.)
Jamie Lynn Spears Ties the Knot in New Orleans!
Taryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity1 day agoBritney's little sister is all grown up!
Jamie Lynn Spears wed her same-named man, Jamie Watson, at the Audubon Tea Room in New Orleans Friday, multiple outlets, including Us Weekly, report. Big sister Britney, 32, served as the former Nickelodeon star's maid of honor for the nuptials, while Jamie Lynn's 5-year old daughter Maddie (from a previous relationship with ex-fiance Casey Aldridge) acted as flower girl. Britney's sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, walked together as ringbearers, according to E! Online.
The 150-200 guests present for the nuptials were reportedly given beer cozies that said "Jamie Lynn & Jamie March 14, 2014" as wedding favors, adds People.
Josh Brolin: I'm Pretty Scary When I Have a Goatee
Rebecca Zamer at Yahoo Celebrity1 day agoJosh Brolin's appearance looks quite different in the film "Labor Day," where he plays Frank, an escaped convict. The actor sports a goatee in the new flick and revealed to The Guardian that he fought with the producers until they permitted him to grow the facial hair.
"For some reason, my face, when I have a goatee, is pretty f------ scary," he admitted. "Even just in my life, I can see how it affects people."
The "No Country for Old Men" star explained that before he began going through the process of having his tattoos removed when he was 31 years old, people seemed unsettled by his looks.
"I don't have tattoos anymore. I used to have a lot of tattoos. And I remember being in business meetings with these dumb jailhouse tattoos and I would see how people reacted," Josh, now 46, noted. "They were always very freaked out."

Not an American user? DescriptionChō Saiya Densetsu is based on the popular manga/animé series Dragon Ball. It follows the events described in the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, the second story block, which tells about the connection of the hero Son Goku with a powerful alien race, and new mighty foes from far away planets. The game starts just where the tale of Dragon Ball begins. Son Goku goes to meet his friends, but is stopped by a mysterious stranger named Raditz who tells Son Goku they are relatives. Raditz demands from him to destroy humanity, and as Son Goku refuses, takes his son Son Gohan hostage. To rescue his son, Son Goku joins forces with his arch-rival, the Demon King Piccolo, who obviously has his own plans concerning Raditz. And thus begins the story during which Son Goku will learn of his true origin...The game is a RPG similar to the card-based Dragon Ball Z RPGs for NES. During battles, you choose cards from your card inventory, which determine the nature and the strength of your characters' attacks. You can also train your characters in training houses and upgrade their special Ki power. Unlike early DBZ RPGs, you can move around freely in Chō Saiya Densetsu, and your movements are not determined by cards. You can also fly around the world and use your special Dragon Radar to discover location of magical Dragon Balls. ScreenshotsAlternate Titles

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Messaging and advanced Internet applications are the key features in the latest round of cellular handset introductions reaching the market this month and next in carriers' successful push to drive the applications into the consumer mainstream.
Many of the new phones feature a touchscreen but no hard-button QWERTY keyboard or dialing keypad.
New phones available now or next month include T-Mobile's Samsung-made Gravity and Behold. The former features slide-out hard-button QWERTY keyboard. The latter lacks hard-button keyboard or dialing keypad, but uses a tactile-feedback touchscreen with virtual keyboard and keypad. Alltel's Samsung-made Delve and AT&T's HTC-made Fuze also feature touchscreen and no hard-button keyboard or keypad.
Other new phones include T-Mobile's Motorola-made ZN5 5-megapixel camera phone, which incorporates Kodak technologies and is touted as surpassing the quality of some digital cameras from the standpoints of quality of image, user interface and ease of sharing.
The products come at a time of rising market share for phones focused on messaging and Internet applications, The NPD Group found in its third-quarter survey of consumers who bought phones. Phones with a QWERTY keyboard, for example, accounted for 30 percent of handsets sold to consumers in the third quarter compared to 11 percent during the year-ago quarter, NPD found.
"Four of the five best-selling handsets in the third quarter were optimized for messaging and other advanced Internet features," said Ross Rubin, NPD's industry analysis director.
Here are some of the latest messaging- and Internet-oriented phones that hope to make it to the top five in the coming quarter. Many feature the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS, which supports a touchscreen interface.
HTC Fuze: With the device, AT&T is expanding its selection of HSDPA-equipped 3G PDA phones incorporating the Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. It operates in 3G mode in the U.S. and international markets, features touchscreen, and comes with QWERTY keyboard that slides out from the side. The price is $299 with two-year contract and after rebates.
Its 2.8-inch TFT-LCD VGA touchscreen uses HTC's TouchFLO 3D motion user interface, which delivers 3-D touch access to launch applications as well as to access an application's features. Other features include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, stereo Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), 3.2-megapixel camera, MicroSD slot, integrated business-card reader, assisted GPS for turn-by-turn driving instructions and push-to-talk (PTT) capability. It also delivers various AT&T services, including Video Share, which lets users share live video. It also provides access to online subscription music content, including eMusic and XM Radio Mobile content, and other services, such a video-clip streaming and full-length MobiTV streaming of video programs over cellular airwaves.
Samsung Behold: Available through T-Mobile at $149, the 3G device is Samsung's first touchscreen-only phone for the carrier. It's also only one of two Samsung phones with the company's proprietary Touch Wiz user interface, which lets consumers customize the main screen with widgets that let them access key features with only one touch. The touchscreen features tactile feedback.
Behold operates in 3G HSDPA mode or lower speed EDGE mode in the U.S. It also operates in EDGE mode in international markets. Other features include 5-megapixel camera, included 1GB MicroSD card, full HTML Web browsing, stereo Bluetooth, assisted GPS for turn-by-turn driving instructions, and music and video playback.
Samsung Gravity: Also for T-Mobile, the quadband EDGE phone features QWERTY keyboard that slides out from the side, built-in POP3 email clients, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, MicroSD slot, and music and video player. It will be available Nov. 17th at a price unavailable at press time.
Samsung Delve: The touchscreen-only phone, available through Alltel channels at $199 after $100 mail-in rebate, is a dual-band CDMA 1x EV-DO phone with tactile-feedback touchscreen, which displays an onscreen QWERTY keyboard and dialing keypad. It's also one of Samsung's two phones with the Touch Wiz user interface.
Other features include music and video player, 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, full HTML browser, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headset jack, and free access to the Nutsie music-streaming service.
Motorola Motozine ZN5: The 5-megapixel camera phone, offered through T-Mobile at $99 after discounts and rebate, is the industry's first camera phone incorporating Kodak technologies. The technologies are said to address three key sources of consumer camera phone dissatisfaction: picture quality, ease of use and photo sharing.
Proprietary Kodak Processing Smart algorithms, for example, adjust white balance, reduce noise and the like.
To overcome ease-of-use challenges, the companies developed a fast autofocus feature that operates in less than a second to reduce shutter lag. To simplify use, the camera phone sports a dedicated Kodak Gallery button, enabling one-touch uploading of photos via cellular EDGE technology or embedded Wi-Fi to the Kodak Gallery online photo sharing site. Users can also post pictures to other photo-sharing sites.
Consumers could use the phone to send pictures via cellular directly to a cellular-equipped digital picture frame, the $99 Parrott-made cameo, which has its own phone number and requires a separate $9.95 monthly service contract.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

Mayor Kimberley L. Driscoll recently named Dominick Pangallo as her new chief of staff, effective March 19. Pangallo will replace Jason Silva, who had been the mayor's top aide since 2006. Silva, who is a Beverly city councilor, recently resigned his Salem post effective Feb. 8 to accept an appointment as executive director of the Salem YMCA. Pangallo, who grew up in Salem, has a bachelor's degree from Bates College and master's degrees in public administration and political science, both from Suffolk University. He served as chief aide to state Representative John Keenan from 2005-2007 after having managed the Salem Democrat's successful 2004 campaign for his State House seat. He currently works as marketing and development director for a regional nonprofit economic and community development agency in Hamilton, N.Y. "I am honored and excited to join Mayor Driscoll's administration," Pangallo said in a written statement. "I care deeply about Salem and the future of the community where I grew up and will now raise my own family. There are many important and challenging issues that Salem faces in the years ahead."

We have a classroom economy set up. Students are paid classroom money when parents or other family attend. This year we are also inviting parents /grandparents or other family members to plant a flower in our class garden that afternoon. This works since our Open House begins at 4:00 and ends at 7:00 and it is still light outside.

Both sides of the debate.
As scandals break left and right (we say it's because there's more media digging around), with players uniting in the hopes of getting paid (we say no amount of cash will hush that chorus), and with the media calling for the outright toppling of the NCAA (we ask what the replacement would be), president Mark Emmert is promising a lot of change to the way his organization does business.
And Emmert — speaking to more than 100 Division I faculty athletics representatives yesterday — says that change is coming soon, too:
"I've said publicly on a number of occasions that only thing everybody agrees on with Division I governance is that it doesn't work. I think the board anticipates a lot of change. They're going into their October and January meetings expecting to look at a whole different governance model for Division I. So it will be significantly different."
There was no word on whether Emmert stood and belted out this Sam Cooke classic post-speech.
While some still speculate that a number of big schools will completely break away from the NCAA in order to form their own "more perfect union," we at MrSEC.com believe a new super-division of those schools with the biggest athletic budgets remains the most likely outcome from all the recent shaking and quaking. On more than one occasion we have tried to point out that the biggest schools are the NCAA and that they will first try to fix their ship before abandoning it. Also, try to imagine the difficulty involved in creating an all new rule book, governance plan, and hierarchy that can be agreed upon by all the big conferences and the big and "small" schools in each. Breaking away would require too much work, in our view, and for that reason it won't be the final solution to this problem.
Emmert said yesterday: "To think that the president of the NCAA has ever been anything like the commissioner of baseball is ludicrous, but yet that would be the most popular perception I suspect that people have of what my job is." Yes, Emmert was trying to defend the job he's done, but that doesn't mean his statement is incorrect. In fact, we would suggest that the NCAA as a whole — sometimes viewed by fans as a corrupt sheriff who's ridden in and taken over a Wild West town — is less than all-powerful, too. The schools and their representatives make up the NCAA. The NCAA isn't a dominating alien. It is literally the schools themselves. So if the schools have created the mess that is the NCAA, what faith should anyone have in a few of those bigger schools cooking up a better breakaway plan in the future?
At the risk of sounding like the Devil's advocate, we at MrSEC.com are even skeptical of a line published in the packet handed out to attendees at yesterday's meeting: "The simpler the governance structure, the better." That sounds good, but it means one of two things. Either the NCAA will now allow some amount of cheating to take place… or it will continue to add rules to its "simple" governance structure to close the loopholes that will no doubt open up with the launch of a newer, simpler system. Meaning the new simpler plan won't be simple for long.
As stated we believe a new super-division is coming in which the biggest schools can hand their players full-cost-of-tuition scholarships which will include some amount of spending cash. But that cash will be deemed too small by players and media members alike. "They're making billions for the schools but all they get is an extra grand a semester?" In addition, the governance plan for the new division will come under fire the very first time a scandal breaks (which will likely be about five minutes after the new plan is unveiled).
Emmert says a change is coming to Division I governance. But we suspect today's problems will simply be moved beneath a different shell. There is no cleaning up college athletics and there is certainly no way to keep everyone happy. So whatever changes are made — in today's society — they won't stand a chance of satisfying the populus. That doesn't mean an effort to improve things shouldn't be made. It just means any new plan will be sliced and diced same as the old plan.

Enter vociferous Hollywood movie star who rallies the masses, and goads Western governments to collect and send 100,000 mosquito nets to the afflicted region, at a cost of a million dollars. The nets arrive, the nets are distributed, and the 'good deed' is done.
With the market flooded with foreign nets, however, our mosquito net maker is promptly put out of business. His ten workers can no longer support their 150 dependents (who are now forced to depend on handouts), and one mustn't forget that in a maximum of five years the majority of the imported nets will be torn, damaged and of no further use. —

Sec. of State Clinton won't tesitfy on Benghazi due to concussion
- thenOutgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was scheduled to testify before House and Senate committees next week, regarding the September 11th attack on an American consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
- now Clinton will not testify next Thursday as scheduled, according to the State Department, due to a concussion. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Philippe Reines, stated that Clinton fainted while suffering from a stomach virus, subsequently hitting her head. Next week's committee hearing will reportedly continue without her, for the time being. source
So, let me get this straight, a stomach virus caused her to faint which gave her a concussion and that concussion is so bad that she can't testify a week later as one of the key individuals to the investigation.
Interesting. Very, very interesting.

The Jezabels
She's So Hard EP
Written by Jenny Meagher on 8th March, 2010
The Jezabels latest EP, She's So Hard is only five songs long, but don't be fooled – there is nothing petite about it. I heard whispers of how great this group is live in the wake of their gigs last year. The good thing about this collection is you really gauge a sense of the live aura, especially if you turn up the dial. It's loud, indie-pop-rock at its best.
'Hurt Me' is just as it sounds, it's a fierce ballad of heartbreak. The music itself is fast-paced, the kind of energy in a song you seek on those long car trips. It catapults a huge drum solo from the get go, along with some interesting piano melodies and the vocals of Hayley Mary are howling. Her voice is somewhere in between Sarah Blasko and Fiona Apple.
'Easy To Love' propels a similar energy, but feels more hopeful. Hayley sings as though she is feeling the emotion the lyrics carry. That is the only way to emphasize her style. Rapid melodies from both pianist Heather Shannon and drummer Nik Kaloper drive this song. Guitarist Sam Lockwood achieves a brilliant chameleon blend which textures their overall sound.
'The Man Is Dead' sits at a more angry level than the other tracks. It is much more like a rock-metal composition, which pauses on some fantastic piano solos. This is the guts of the EP, and seems to really project a solid message: do not mess with this girl.
I would say this EP is a winner, as it immediately ignites the listener's attention to a world of roller coaster emotion and energy. It makes you want to hit the repeat button, and daydream out the window.
She's So Hard is available now. Find it on

Sergio Says! Weekly Musings from Marie Claire (and Beyond...)
View Gallery
Sergio's week began with family bonding over borscht and vodka...wound down with frantic off-the-hook phone calls. If you haven't been in on the whirlwind life in the Hearst glossy's offices and far, far beyond, the Daily's "The Assistant Files" kicked off with Sergio Kletnoy, and each week we're following his escapades as Marie Claire EIC Joanna Coles' gatekeeper. As always, don't forget to peruse the Gallery of Sergio's fantastic photographic evidence!
Sunday, 5 p.m.
Сегодня женский день—Oops, there I go again. Whenever I'm around my mother for too long, I forget my English. Today was Mother's Day, and I practically overdosed on my mom and grandmother for five hours. I met up with them in Sheepshead Bay—because my 89-year-old grandmother's passport isn't up to date so she couldn't come into Manhattan. Meaning once again, I was forced to spend my Sunday in Brooklyn with the entire clan. It was a typical Russian affair: We ate some borscht and potato pierogis (what else?), drank Stoli and reminisced about the good times when coming home with a roll of toilet paper felt like Christmas.
Monday, 2 p.m.
It's Music Monday, and I'm obsessed with Yasmin's "Finish Line," "Wait & See" by Holy Ghost, and "Gone and Never Coming Back" by Melanie Fiona, who stopped by the office earlier this morning to talk about her sophomore album, The MF Life, due out this fall. Melanie earned a Grammy nod for her 2009 debut album, and let me tell you, she can saaaang, because when I asked her what her go-to karaoke song was, she wailed through "Midnight Train to Georgia." (Seriously, she gave Gladys and her Pips a run for their money.) I love Melanie's style: She walked in to the office in a fly pair of Gucci boots paired with knee high socks, an amazing Alice Ritter coat, and lots of very cool jewelry. Melanie knew she looked good and walked the hallways of our office as if competing for the grand prize on America's Next Top Supermodel. She had me at 'hello.'
Tuesday, 8 a.m.
The Boss came in at 8 a.m., which is late for her, after pulling almost an all-nighter at the ASME awards (it was six hours long!). The ASMEs are as close to the Oscars as the magazine industry will ever get. Marie Claire narrowly lost out to the New Yorker for the Public Interest prize. Damn you, David Remnick, with your fancy magazine and your fancy black and white photos. But have you ever had the Glee girls on your cover? That evening, I continued celebrating my birthday with friends. Yes, it's three weeks after the fact, but in China, they celebrate birthdays for a whole year! First stop: Rockmeisha Izakaya, a new Japanese spot in the West Village. (Order the fried chicken—to die for.) My friends and I capped it off with drinks in the private room at Bell Book & Candle, followed by '80s night at Monster. The last thing I remember was doing the Roger Rabbit to Bananarama, which I've decided needs to be the title of my memoir.
Wednesday, 1 p.m.
Woke up sweating sake. Shook it off with some coffee and V8, then raced off to work so I could interview another Brit, Naomie Harris, who you may recognize as the Voodoo Princess from the last two Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Naomie came in to talk about her new film, The First Grader, a true story about an 86-year-old Kenyan who goes back to school to finally learn to read and write. The best part of the interview: turns out, Harris' and I share an obsession with Her Madgesty. (Attention, Liz Rosenberg: You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. There's a free subscription to Marie Claire in it for you…).
Thursday, 8 p.m.
Today was INSANE. The phone would not stop ringing with requests that should have been routed to other departments. Hey, where can I get the socks on page 84? Who do I talk to about an internship? Can I talk to Nina Garcia, please? Really, do I look like an AT&T operator?! Project Runway fan fave Mondo popped into the office for a quick visit. Then my new bestie Jill Zarin called to give me some fresh dirt on her fight with Ramona—and to gush over my Marie Claire video interviews with her. In the midst of all the chaos, THE BOSS had me searching high and low for a YSL beige and black fingerprint cotton halter top. By this point, Oren at the YSL boutique on 57th Street knows the urgency in my voice, and I knew I can depend on him to find whatever JoCo needs. Two hours later, the top arrived and Joanna was overjoyed. For lunch, I met up with Amanda Hearst and Lauren Bush at Lauren's favorite vegetarian spot, Candle 79, on the Upper East Side. (Shh, don't tell The Boss but it was a liquid lunch for me!) Then I was back to work to finish up all my other projects so I could make it in time for the advance screening of—brace yourself!—Hangover II! Unfortunately, we, meaning members of the media, are barred from reviews until May 24. (One tidbit: the monkey deserved top billing!)
Friday, 6 p.m.
It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!

La Vie en Ruffian: Fetish Tea Time
Ruffians Brian Wolk and Claude Morais are back in the Big Apple after several weeks on the West Coast. This week, they share their interview with Rick Castro of Antebellum Gallery and discuss fetish tea, Tony Ward and more!
"The art of fetish is an age-old craft spanning epochs, cultures, socio-economic strata. It has been studied by figures ranging from the Marquis de Sade to Sigmund Freud. Rick Castro, owner and curator of Antebellum Gallery, simply defines fetish as human obsession, which can manifest itself in love for shoes, leather, bondage—or perhaps the ritualistic drinking of tea. Mr. Castro is a Renaissance man living in Hollywood, and his extraordinary aesthetic background in photography, fashion, and film is evident in his tremendously sophisticated curatorial skills. Trained under the likes of Herb Ritts and Joel-Peter Witkin, he is not only a collector, but also a highly respected photographer. His work appears in many published volumes including 13 Years of Bondage and, most recently, in the Dior Homme campaign. We were lucky enough to be invited to high tea in the garden of his jewel box gallery. We were served in grand style, and of course, no fetish tea would be complete with out a pig mask-wearing butler who was at Master Castro's beck and call whenever he rang the bell.
Brian: I was reading about the great events that changed your life in your Wikipedia entry. Let's start with your love of tea.
Rick: My tea master lives in Vancouver. He has served tea to the Queen, and orchestrated the world tea party that was held in LA. I became obsessed with tea after I went to London for the first time in 1996, but my tea master is the one who taught me all the ins and outs. There are so many different ceremonies.
Claude: You also cited A Clockwork Orange as a life-changer...
Rick: I read it first in my aunt Nicky's new and used bookstore in El Monte, CA. It must have been 1969. Reading it was an epiphany for me in language, and the violence was portrayed as glamour. It was beautiful and scary, and it made sense it would become the future and norm in our culture.
Brian: Fashion is definitely a fetish—a commercial fetish, perhaps. In terms of your process, is it different when you do fashion photography verses your art fetish photography?
Rick: I never intended to do fashion. In the 80s, I was a stylist, a costume maker and a designer. IIncidentally, Rick Owens was my patternmaker. When I decided to go into photography, it was a reaction against fashion. I started to explore photography, and fetish as my subject matter was a natural choice.
Claude: Did you have a mentor when you went into photography?
Rick: As a stylist, I worked with Herb Ritz and observed his lighting, which is an important part of my work. He was obsessed with golden light, which is also known as the magic hour. I also worked for George Hurrell, from whom I learned a lot about glamour photography. A hard light diffused makes everything look incredible. I asked Joel-Peter Witkin to take me to buy my first camera, and he took me to a camera shop in Albuquerque, where he lives. It's a Nikon FG and I still have it.
Brian: Do you miss film now that you use digital?
Rick: I don't miss the trouble and the expense. I never enjoyed being in the dark room. Digital is cleaner, but you can never replace a nice fiber print. But you have to respect digital for what it is—a different art form. Would you like a cookie?
Rick rings the bell and the pig servant returns and pours more tea.
Brain: Tell us a little about Hustler White and your collaboration with legendary film maker Bruce La Bruce.
Rick: When I started to take photographs, I discovered that street hustlers were better than real models. One of my favorite subjects was Zac, who I met while I was pulling out of a Carl's Jr. drive-thru. I saw him exiting the bus with a cowboy hat bandana, and his shirt was stuffed in his back pocket. He told me stories of his time in prison, and saving Charles Manson from a fire. These tall tales are also known as "yarns" (due to their often fictitious nature) and became the inspiration for my first zine. It was pre-internet, and queer kids created their own world because they had nowhere else to go. When I met Bruce in 1991, I told him I had been documenting these street boys on VHS and was going to name the documentary Hustler White. The reason for the title is they used to wear white jeans because at night, you can see them on the avenue.
Brian: Wow, what a great piece of urban fashion anthropology!
Rick: Bruce said he would like to collaborate and make it into a feature-length film, so we wove the stories into a narrative. We originally cast a real hustler for the lead role named Monty, but within 3 weeks he had stolen the production car, a guitar and paintings, married a girl, and got another girl pregnant, so we decided he was a security risk. So at that point I called my friend, Tony Ward, and pleaded with him to take the role. Remember, this was post-Madonna sex book, and he was pretty famous at this point, but he read the script and said yes. I thought he was the modern day Joe Dallesandro. He was perfect for the role.
Brian: Tell us a little about your interest in bondage…
Rick: I've been into it since I was four. As far as photography, I am interested in capturing the moment. When I photograph, I have to worry about the lighting, the position, etc. When I shot the Dior Homme editorial, the look of the ropes and they way they were tied over the clothing was critical.
Claude: Why did you open the gallery?
Rick: I opened the gallery in 2005, and it was a life-long dream to specifically open a fetish art gallery. I consider myself a fetish person. I understand obsession, so I thought I was the right person to bridge fetish to mainstream…to fuse art with fetish. I like to show contemporary art mixed with vintage erotica. I don't have a roster of artists that I use over and over. I like the discovery process and mixing things together in an eclectic way for each show.
Brian: Tell us about your salons…
Rick: Well, I have had tea salons with human furniture, bondage demos, a fetish book club, and fetish film nights at the Egyptian theatre just behind the gallery.
Claude: Were there any events or people in your childhood that affected your work?
Rick: I had an aunt who owned a bookstore, and that was one of my first exposures to literature and art. My mom worked there and used to pick me up after school. That was where I had some of my first experiences with erotica, as they used to keep nudist magazines under the counter in brown paper bags. Incidentally, next door at the candy shop, where I used to buy caramel corn, Bob Mackie used to be the counter boy, which I recently confirmed this year when he came to the gallery to pick up a piece of art a friend purchased for him.
Brian: How did you meet and discover Tony Ward?
Rick: It was 1984, I was thumbing through Intouch (a naughty boys magazine at the time) and saw a picture of Tony while I was working with Albert Sanchez, who was the West Coast photographer of Interview. I called his agent and he said, "If you can pay for his bus fare then you can have him." He came up from La Jolla and we hit it off immediately. He was my first subject on my first photo shoot, and we have been friends ever since. In fact, we have the only Tony Ward-themed toilet which I will give you a tour of now."

Britney Speaks! Again!
Britney Spears looks all grown up on the cover of the June issue of Harper's Bazaar, shot by Alexi Lubomirski. In a telephone interview with Laura Brown, Brit Brit continues to be a little dullsy in the soundbite department. As she once sang, "Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more..."
On Gaga! "She's unique and extremely talented. I love her spin on everything."
On Madonna! "I actually saw her a couple of weeks ago at a party. I guess she's really taught me to stay true to myself."
On touring! "I love to dance, so it's very exciting. The tour rehearsals have been going really well. I think it will be my best show yet."
PLUS! "I'm pretty normal, you know. Like I said, the type of day I love is just like everybody else's. I'm like everybody else."

BFF With Francesco Clark: Meat My Dress
This week, our beauty-food-fashion guru, Francesco Clark, takes on Lady Gaga and her perplexing contribution to culture.
"Gaga is not a vegan in any sense of the word. She seems to devour everything she sees. She showed up in an egg to one awards show, wore meat to another, and liberally pushes every boundary we thought had already been pushed. Who adds exoskeleton parts to their face? And while you may never actually follow her trend, there's something about her that has drawn so much attention. The ick factor had already been pulled a couple times—Angelina Jolie wearing a vial of blood is one memorable instance—but not like this, mainly because Jolie was still a stunning woman, but with a vial of blood. Gaga embodies it, and the 2011 incarnation was literally con carne. So with her persona leading the trend in pop-music and some fashion circles, one perplexity comes to mind – how is it we embrace and celebrate such a wild, free, and unabashed spirit, yet when it comes to beauty, we are trending to all looking the same?
We are told to go to this aesthetician for her microdermabrasion, that dermatologist for his injectibles, the surgeon for the perfect nose, and that's not counting the endless list of people to tone, recenter you, and just make you so like Heather and Heather from the movie, Heathers. It almost feels as though, it's okay to be different, but please, please, anyone else other than me.
But maybe everyone's tired of the perfect photo, and now we care more about the personality, the humor, and the overall spirit. Seriously, did you ever imagine a more perfect surprise to fashion magazine covers than Tina Fey? She could wear a beef jerky body suit and still be endearing. But oof, the smell…maybe just a beef jerky bracelet would suffice."

Rihanna Channels Ariel for Vita Coco
The latest rocker to embrace the coconut water craze: Rihanna. Naturally, the songstress opted to join Vita Coco's other musical backers Madonna and Anthony Kiedis by starring in the company's latest campaign. "I love Vita Coco," she says. "It's real coconut water from hand-picked coconuts. It's delicious and so good for you!" Donning her electric red locks on the beach...the Little Mermaid references abound, non?

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — In April of this year, Albany Technical College inquired about a property located between the Health Department and Regions Bank at the intersection of Slappey Boulevard and Newton Road.
For some time, ATC has been in search of additional property around its main campus to acquire for future expansion.
Recently, the owner asked Albany Tech for a $5,000 deposit of earnest money in order to hold the property, and the Albany Tech Foundation provided the funds for the deposit.
The owner is allowing the college 60 days to make a decision. If acquired, Albany Tech could utilize the property to expand the campus and provide services to the growing student population.
Some of the potential projects include, but are not limited to, a gymnasium, student housing, Student Services/Admissions building and many other needed facilities for the college.
Albany Tech spokesperson Wendy Howell said the college is excited about the possibility of expanding the campus and becoming an even greater source for technical education in the Southwest Georgia region.

Various Artists Jeremy P. Caulfield: Detached [05]
- Words: Joe Encarnacion
- Label: Dumb-Unit
Toronto producer/DJ Jeremy P. Caulfield's mix moves minimal techno further from the iPods of unkempt IDM-ers and squarely onto the dancefloor, employing low-passed analog worbles, opiatic synth lines, and syncopated clicks. The mix reaches moments of subtle climax with the bassline whomp of "Psycho Happiness" and the vocal hook of "Truthology," only to settle back into comfortable chug-a-long tech house, avoiding risk or reason to rant to your mates. Droning hypnosis may be the point of it all, but if Caulfield and other proponents of this heady genre want to maintain dancefloor interest, they would do well to add some range to their material.

Full description for Civilization
Ever since the attacks of September 11, 2001, Western leaders have described a world engaged in "a fight for civilization." But what do we mean by civilization? We believe in a Western tradition of freedom that has produced a fulfilling existence for many millions of people and a culture of enormous depth and creative power. But the history of our civilization is also filled with unspeakable brutality for every Leonardo there is a Mussolini, for every Beethoven symphony a concentration camp, for every Chrysler Building a My Lai massacre. An ambitious historical assessment of the Western world tying together the histories of empires, art, philosophy, science, and politics Civilization reexamines and confronts us with all of our glories and catastrophes. At such a dangerous time in the world's history, this brilliant book is required reading.

To think of this salsa as just a vehicle for tortilla chips is doing it – and you – a disservice.
Pico de gallo and Black Bean and Corn and Guacamole wraps. Photo by Meredith Deeds
Salsa, in Latin American cuisine, can mean any kind of sauce, from mole to guacamole. But for many of us, when we hear the term "salsa" we think of pico de gallo. Pico de gallo (Spanish for "rooster's beak") is a fresh salsa made primarily of tomatoes, chiles, onions, cilantro and lime juice.
It's the iconic salsa that often sits on a Mexican restaurant table alongside a basket of hot tortilla chips. While it makes the perfect chip partner, if you're using pico de gallo only as a dip, you're definitely not making the most of this versatile dish.
As a cooking teacher, I've made this dish many times. I like to teach it because it's delicious and refreshing and an important dish to know for anyone who wants to cook Mexican food. It's also fun because I can show my students how to use it to transform a number of other ingredients.
Add it to your favorite low-fat ranch dressing and you have a creamy salsa dressing. Top a toasted slice of baguette with it and you have a Southwest bruschetta. It always creates a fun sort of "Wow — Look! There's more!" moment in the class.
One of the most useful examples of the power of pico de gallo is guacamole. Once I've made the salsa, all I have to do is mash up a couple of avocados, stir in a little pico de gallo and viola! I have guacamole. Want Black Bean and Corn Salad? Just open a can of black beans, add some frozen corn and toss together with a healthy serving of the fresh salsa and you're done. Or combine all three in a flour tortilla and you have a Black Bean, Corn and Guacamole Wrap. Talk about an easy way to impress your friends.
Pico de gallo is ideal for the family, too, because it can be made to suit your family's taste by using as much or as little of the minced chiles as you like. A note about chiles: The heat is mostly found in the interior veins or ribs that hold the seeds in the middle. If you like the taste of chile, but want to tone down the fire, just cut the outside flesh off the veins and use only the flesh in the recipe. It still might be hot, but it won't be as hot.
If you find you're having trouble convincing your kids to give it a try, just tell them they're eating rooster's beak. That'll pique (or, in this case "pico") their interest.

ReMix: Mega Man 3 'Magnetic Fireworks'
- Game: Mega Man 3 (Capcom, 1990, NES)
- ReMixer(s): WillRock
- Composer(s): Harumi Fujita, Yasuaki Fujita
- Song(s): 'Flash Man Stage', 'Magnet Man Stage'
- Posted: 2011-11-17, evaluated by djpretzel
And now for something completely different... well, different from the previous mix, at least. For WillRock, it represents yet another GRMRB electronica track where he again blends 'Flash Man Stage' with a different robot master, this time Magnet Man, which may have been evident from the mix title. He writes:
"Ah The Grand Robot Master Remix Battle. Sometime after I lost against gecko, I ended up against txai in revenge. So, a little bit of background first... Remember Door into Chaotix? Well I was interested in the genesis sound chip, whatever its called... >_> Well I liked to try and make music that sounded like it was an updated version of that sound, and thats what I did with Door into Chaotix. Then I found a soundfont called "the ultimate Sega Megadrive/Genesis Soundfont". Yeah, you get the picture. So I took that concept of adding genesis sounds for my GRMRB match and even tho I beat txai, I found my mix to be... lacking. So fast forward to a few weeks ago. I was messing with Reason's Thor and Maelstrom trying to make some cool 8-bit drum sounds. I succeeded after some tricky sound designing (give me a break I dunno how they make those sounds on the nes).
I got something that sounded pretty close, and redid my original remix to incorporate some 8-bit elements, and then brought in the genesis infused part after. I still thought the sound design might not be "grand" enough for ocr so I put in some more complex sounds at the end of the remix and you get a bit of a journey. Starts 8-bit (sorta) goes to 16-bit (sorta) then goes to just regular music (sorta). A bit unorthodox but I like the idea. So yeah. Hope you enjoy this. Later dudes."
I'd say the result is INDEED grand; the sheer amount of ideas, harmonies, solos, modulations, textures, and FX here is really impressive. Little grace notes, bends, trills, breaks, and slides just sound like Will was spazzing the hell out - but in a talented & coherent fashion. It's maximalism, and I suppose listening to it you might even guess that it was made for a competition, i.e. to impress, but it's also a really FUN, wild trip, showcasing Will's technique, blending 8- and 16-bit textures into an exciting 24-bit stew, and introducing some wonderful twists & harmonies into the source melodies. I think Will now owes Flash Man a cosmic, karmic debt for facilitating so many awesome mixes, this being the fourth, that incorporate his theme ;)
Keep'em coming.

Hahaha, we're getting too old for this shit. "Sounds like it's from an old game, looking to be remixed" is a new one. :lol:

While, I enjoyed that track a lot, this definitely feels like the definitive version. The expanded length, expanded soundscape, and the tons of nifty transitions and solo elements really stood out in the version. It's a very fun and enjoyable track! Good work!
For the record, I would never have subbed the original, it just didn't feel like a finished piece of music :)

I've always been a fan of innovations, and this one has a fantastic attention to detail among its colors, so I can breathe happiness in its greatest depths. I love it!
- Guifrog on November 17, 2011
Not my favorite of all of wr's work. Still replaying Showdown in a loop on most car trips. But it's still textbook Willrock style, bending source material around his little finger and saying "well these sound good together. and throwing two games in a blender with a dash of synth and sauce for a well rounded sound that delights me everytime. I think it's time to package the man's mixes into an OC album of their own (honestly i think there's enough for a 2-disk sp. ed.).

N.J. GOP, Democratic headquarters starting to fill up as results come in
From The Political State blog on NorthJersey.com:
The polls have closed and results are slowing trickling in and so are Republicans and Democrats at parties for Congressional candidates in New Jersey.
The Record's John Reitmeyer is with the Democrats in New Brunswick and Michael Linhorst is in Belleville with the Republicans.
Reitmeyer reports that the Democrats are slowly filtering into a first-floor ballroom in The Heldrich.
Two televisions are playing simultaneously, one on NJTV and the other on CNN, with the sound turned up to hear CNN. A stage is set up at the far end of the room, with a podium and a Bob Menendez U.S. Senate sign placed in the center. Signs for other Democratic candidates, including U.S. Reps. Frank Pallone and Rush Holt, are displayed in other parts of the room. So far, the crowd is sparse and quiet.
In Belleville, Linhorst reports that a band in the corner of the banquet hall is in full swing playing covers of various classic rock songs. State Sen. Joe Kyrillos, who is challenging Menendez, will be in Belleville tonight.
Governor Christie plans to watch the results from the governor's mansion in Princeton, according to a spokeswoman.
The vast room is maybe a quarter full, with people streaming in and lining up at the buffet table.
No candidates in site at either location yet.
