Polly Asks: New York Magazine Wants Me to Write Ask Polly For Them. Should I Tell Them to Piss Off?
Dear Readers,
I need to tell you a story. That means this will be just like every other Ask Polly column, except this story is a little longer than usual, and at first, when you read it, you'll ask, "Where's the tepid dude of the week?" Just bear with me.
In September of 2012, after reading and admiring The Awl for years, and writing a few short humor pieces for them, I sent Choire Sicha an email.
Subject: Existential advice column
That's what I should be writing for The Awl.
Come on, pay me a tiny bit and it's yours! Just enough $ so my husband doesn't roll his eyes and spit whenever he hears the word "Awl."
Choire's one-word reply was:
Two days later, I sent in my first column and The Awl published it, and thus began one of the best gigs of my career. My first editor, Carrie Frye, let the term "pious fuckwinder' run in my second column. My second editor, Choire, was even more tolerant of dubious strings of adjectives. (He also once forgot to pay me for five months, but when I responded with a three-thousand-word screed on the madness of freelance writing, he sent me a check and published my screed and paid me for that, too.) My third editor, Matt Buchanan, let the term "dickweasel" run. In a world full of pious fuckwinders and dickweasels, in other words, The Awl is an island of sanity, and originality, and humility. I had hoped to never leave.
Then three weeks ago, Stella Bugbee, the editorial director from New York Magazine's The Cut, called me. She told me that they've been in the market for an advice columnist, but haven't been able to find the right person. Apparently people want real advice, not gimmicks, she said. People want good advice from a writer with a really strong voice, she said. People want guidance from someone who's wise and thoughtful and fair.
"Why are you talking to me, then?" I asked.
"We want you to come to The Cut," Stella said, whose voice seemed to indicate that she dresses really well. "We're prepared to double what you're making." I snorted audibly. Then I multiplied my current rate by two and wrote it down on a nearby piece of paper. Hmm, not exciting enough. So I multiplied my current rate by three and wrote that down. Then I multiplied it by four, then five, then ten…
"Hello?" Stella said.
"I don't know," I said, staring at the largest number on the page and imagining myself on a beach in Belize, surrounded by bronzed towel boys serving fruity drinks in hollowed-out coconuts. I pictured other bronzed towel boys arriving with huge platters of aged cheeses and soft cheeses and fresh breads and cured meats. "Eduardo, I said Cambozola, not Gorgonzola." "I'm so sorry, Miss Heather."
"Are you still there?" Stella asked.
"I love The Awl so much," I said. This came out quite naturally, because I wasn't lying like I usually am when people ask me how I like my current employer.
Stella proceeded to tell me more about The Cut, how they don't just write about breastfeeding and sixteen super-sexy summer styles. They cover a wide range of topics, and it's very writer-driven, just like the rest of New York Magazine's empire. She said some other stuff, but by that point I was so deep in a Belizian towel boy fantasy I sort of lost the thread. "So what's it going to take?" she asked.
"I like aged cheeses a lot," I said. "And they're pretty expensive. But I don't want to change the column, You know what Ask Polly is: It's four thousand words, half of which are variations on 'fuck' and 'motherfucker.'"
Stella sighed. Her lips sounded so glossy.
"You would retain full creative control." Creative control, yes, I thought. The bronzed towel boys came back to mind.
So I got off the phone to talk to my husband, who looked disappointingly unbronzed and wasn't carrying a towel or an array of soft cheeses.
"People will think I'm a sell out!" I told him. "That'll be refreshing, for people to imagine me doing something that someone actually pays me for."
"What's a sell out?" my husband asked. (I guess people don't use that term anymore.) "Does that mean you'll make some fucking money for a change? Because that would be fucking awesome," he said.
"But it's a fashion and beauty website. People will think I dress better than I actually do!" I said. "That'll be cool, for people to imagine that I'm not just some dipshit who bumbles around the house in soft pants all day. I wonder if they'll imagine me in white linen…"
"White linen? Like Don Johnson used to wear on 'Miami Vice'?" my husband said, who would never sass back to me like that if I made more money.
So I emailed Choire. I thought he might be really angry or BEREFT at the thought of losing Ask Polly, but instead he was very nice and said it would be crazy for me not to seize a great opportunity, and that The Awl is all about nurturing young writers with cool ideas and letting them fly and be free when they move on to bigger things.
"I'm not actually young," I replied. "I'm older than you."
"Lol," he wrote back. (Did he think I was joking?)
"I really am older than you," I wrote back.
"OMG, I hate olds! Lol!" he replied.
Anyway. As someone who, generally speaking, hates change, I know this might not sound like great news to some of you who read the column every week. But I think it's a great opportunity for Ask Polly to reach more people, and a great opportunity for me to give the column more of my attention instead of squeezing it in between other gigs. (No, I didn't get Belizian towel-boy money; this is still an online magazine we're talking about, and not the Sultanate of Brunei.) New York Magazine is run by smart people and employs some of my favorite writers. I've been assured that they don't want to change Ask Polly at all, and they intend to nurture and support the column for the long haul.
Writing this column has been much more rewarding than I'd ever dreamed it would be when I first pitched the idea to Choire on a whim. I've gone from getting one or two letters each week to getting ten to twenty letters every single week, without fail. I love writing the column. I don't want to stop doing this anytime soon.
I'm not a big believer in gushing about your love for your readers. But Ask Polly readers are pretty fucking special, let's face it. We have a few things in common, maybe. A certain kind of stubbornness that's often misinterpreted as a bad attitude. A certain kind of skepticism that's often misinterpreted as contempt. We are unique snowflakes who sometimes feel uniquely fucked, even when we can recognize, intellectually, that our experiences might just be universal. We are sensitive flowers who act tough anyway. We are damaged goods who remain optimistic—in spite of having spent a little more time in the half-priced bin than was good for our tattered egos.
I'll publish my last Ask Polly column on The Awl next week at the usual time, which is also the same day that my first column will appear on The Cut. I hope you'll join me over there, among the glossy-lipped and the snappily dressed. The habitat might look a little shinier, and you might be simultaneously repulsed and turned on by headlines that say things like "Yoga For Swoll Hunks." But I'll still be offering up the same digressive opinions and pious fuckwindery you've come to expect from me.
Whatever happens next, though, please keep on telling the truth and sticking your necks out. Good things come to those who are brave enough to show the world exactly who they are, without shame. And look, soon enough, you can be sure that someone will give this owning-of-your-flaws an embarrassing name, in the hopes that we'll all get shamed back into the closet and go back to believing that every misstep and mistake should be airbrushed out or masked behind a smile and a high five.
Let's not let them shame us, though, ok? Let's keep on fumbling along, imperfectly, with pride, with grace, with humility, with an open heart. Let's be messy and courageous, you and me and all of us. Let's not be afraid to ask for exactly what we want, and to celebrate exactly who we are, and to eat lots of aged cheeses if possible. But most of all, let's stick together and celebrate our messiness, and our courage.
Heather Havrilesky (aka Polly Esther) was The Awl's existential advice columnist. She's also a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, and is the author of the memoir Disaster Preparedness (Riverhead 2011). She blogs here about scratchy pants, personality disorders, and aged cheeses.

That is great! I am sure the Awl will be sorry to lose you but you can still write for them occasionally, right? Right? Unless you are too busy picking out exotic cheeses, of course.
This is all really great. I love that the Awl is so cool about its mission statement. I love also that you're so clear about what you need to be yourself no matter where you write the column. OMG IT'S LIKE RELATIONSHIPS AGAIN being yourself is so important
Congratulations, of course, from one who usually stands back from this one each week (although I read it! Really!!) because, truly, DOES KAREN NEED ANY FUCKING HELP? (Don't answer that.)
Pardon my ignorance and abject arrogance, but Why the F'in FUCK Can't You Write For Both? Who made fucking NYM's knickers so billowing fancy?
I say to you, The Cut: let this woman operate in BOTH territories! Be a grownup about it, you wusses.
There. That was my Advice Column.
Do we not get advice this week? MY THERAPIST IS ON VACATION AND I NEED THIS. Um, yeah, so . . .I'm such a fangirl. I just hope that your new, wider circle of readers appreciates you as much as the current slate of readers do. Reading and commenting really has been my weekly therapy supplement. Part of me is sad that it will not be such a tight little group as I like to imagine it to be . . .but I am very happy that you're be better compensated for your talents! So congratulations!
I just visited "the Cut" for the first time . . . very sequins. so fashion. much commercial. Can't say I'll visit for anything other than your columns . . .
@garlicmustardweed Girl if you aren't reading Ann Friedman's column on the reg you're depriving yourself!
@Lily Hudson@facebook Thanks, Lady! I have started reading. Very good!
But. . .but. . .I've been holding off on ever sending a question because I wanted to make sure I'd have a REALLY IMPORTANT one, but now there will be so many more and I'll never get published! Why can't you make this decision ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE.
If you can't change your mind on this for my benefit, I am thinking about moving to LA, so could you maybe promise to become my best friend when I do?
Congrats! I say if you can't do both (Choire, make her do both!), then: Go make some fucking money for a change. But don't lose your voice. Because we'll know. We'll be monitoring a "fuck" word count.
(We know you'll miss us, too.)
Ah, I wondered how long it would take new management to start cleaning house.
@Mackenzie Kelly
that's wundered
is it really swoll? I always thought it was "swole"!
@melis swöl
@melis Hi! I'm Jen Gann, the Cut's copy editor. You're definitely right that a lot people use "swole" (Urban Dictionary, which we consult sometimes for slang usage, lists it). For this post, I chose "swoll" for two reasons: (1) Maggie Lange, the post's author, wrote it, and I trust her humor and slang instincts, and (2) "swoll" is closer to "swollen" visually, which I think helps get the meaning across to people who might not be familiar with the term. The copy desk at NYMag.com debates slang usage pretty often; we like to have fun while remaining comprehensible to a wide audience. We've already discussed the kinds of entries Heather Havrilesky is going to get into our style guide. Can't wait for the first opportunity to add "dickweasel."
@Jen Gann that makes sense, thank you! when i see "swoll" i mentally pronounce it closer to the first syllable in "swallow," which i think might be why i prefer "swole," but that's helpful, tytyty
@melis Oh, that's interesting! I hadn't considered the "swallow" possibility before. Thank you for bringing it to my attention (and for posting your comment in the first place; I love a good copy chat).
@melis AAAAAAmazing. I look forward to this new advice column on the Cut! May another awesome Awl writer take up Polly's lead.
This is really wonderful! Congrats. I like the NY Mag sites, though I don't visit them often because there's just so much sprawl. They're smart to recruit you. I always pay attention when writers I like move on to less familiar places–and I'm sure other readers do, too.
@KimO When writers move on from this here site to write at more lucrative positions, it could be called "awl sprawl".
Congratulations!! First Cary Tennis leaves Salon and now you. You are my favorite thing about Wednesdays. As soon as you relevantly used a Kanye West reference from his latest album, you became my hero
I wish you the very best you weirdo!!!
Yes! Go! Go before it's too late!
YES. Do whatever you have to do to keep yourself in fancy cheese. That is what is right and true.
I've been wondering when a bigger site was going to snag you. I'm shocked that it took this long. Godspeed! I will follow you there! Expensive cheese 4ever!
My new favourite cheese is called Cuor di Fieno, and it's aged for at least 90 days wrapped in hay, but not lots and lots longer, and it is amazing, although not a soft cheese. Just in case you wanted to branch out in celebration.
Technical question: is there an RSS feed? Otherwise I may have good intentions about seeking out Ask Polly, but forget because it's not in my Feedly.
Yay! You deserve this, Polly. I'm a little nervous about a wider troll pool, but dickweasels are people too and they might learn something. Now go eat all of the cheese,
As always, the accompanying image is perfection.
Congratulations, Ask Polly, and thank you again for telling me some hard things I needed to hear (along with some soft things I also needed to hear) when I wrote you many months ago. You are a treasure and I'd follow you absolutely anywhere on the internet.
By all means, take the opportunity. But I'm sure you've seen enough indie movies to know that they'll start jerking you around sooner or later because of some corporate blah blah blah. At least for a while you'll be able to sneer at your husband's puny salary.
Haha, as long as I can stay younger than Choire, I'll never be an old. (Choire's like 50-something, isn't he?)
i've never posted a comment to any online forum ever but wanted to let you know i love your column, its one of the smartest i've read and its moved me to tears (of joy? hope? feeling for the human condition?) on more than one occasion. the story of how you got your job at the awl is poignant and inspiring without irony. keep on keeping on.
Congratulations, and enjoy all the cheese and pool boys! The Cut is a good site. It can be frustrating that NY Mag shuttles stories about lady issues to it, even if they're politically as important as ones covered on Daily Intelligencer, but it means it's not just clothes and makeup and they cover important issues. What I'll really miss is the commenters here, y'all added so much value every week. I hope people follow you over there and wade into the comments. I've been an occasional commenter there since Gossip Girl days, and it can be a great group. Fewer comment on The Cut, their system gets as many complaints as any, and they have a couple resident trolls on the site of the highest level of cray cray. As in, they have a whole site dedicated to mocking other long-time commenters and threatening to dox them. I won't bother posting user names as they're due to be banned and come back with new ones any moment now, but you'll recognize their style quickly. It's not worth engaging with them, just tag offensive comments as such and move along. But please, do come play over there folks, this column just won't be the same without y'all.
Congratulations, Heather!! I am so pleased for your good news. You deserve it and I continue to look forward to every Wednesday (or whichever day The Cut chooses for Ask Polly). You're a true idol for all of us sharp knives out there.
Congratulations Heather! You are a fantastic, incisive writer and your advice is so true and thoughtful and nuanced that I, like many others it seems, had been wondering how long you could stay tucked away on The Awl. Best of luck and rest assured that you have readers who will follow you anywhere.
Let's not be afraid to ask for exactly what we want, and to celebrate exactly who we are, and to eat lots of aged cheeses if possible.
I need this on a fancy art print to hang on my wall. And I maybe need to send copies to a few friends.
Ahhhhhh!!! I do think the world is better off with your advice in it, so if this move will help it spread and bring you lots more moola, I applaud it. We will miss you here, though. It kinda feels like you were invited to sit at a more popular table in the cafeteria, and we can't help but worry those cool kids will try to dilute some of your spark. Stay strong, Polly!
Congratulations! You're amazing, lady.
Mazel tov, Heather! You deserve it!
That said, I wish The Awl would stop with the nurturing.
Will you draw us a cartoon before you leave? A special cartoon for all the tough acting sensitive flowers?
Also, we are all so proud of you. Sniff. Congratulations! I hope you are celebrating with aged cheese and whiskey. Or maybe a nice rose, since it's really hot outside.
Go! Go make money! You are good and wise and more people should read your words.
I love this damn column and have lines from it printed up and stuck on my bedroom walls just to keep me from clawing them too much. Love the commenters, too. Go, bloom and flower and get that money, I'll follow, though the comment section will probably be ignored.
This is my little area of the internet that I quietly retreat to every Thursday. Your column has helped me to gain perspective and wisdom on many areas of my life and the comforting objectiveness that I will always, always be a bit nuts, and that the world is nuts but that's ok because its not all my fault and that nothing is ever fixed forever or perfect. But beauty is in the cracks! The cracks between the polished patina of glossed lips and kale smoothies.
Go and be awesome! See you at The Cut. As I'll still have either the Awl/Hairpin/Billfold open its just another tab on my browser.
Been following since you were writing for Salon. Onward and upward i guess. Not sure my kind are welcome where you're going. So, goodbye, good luck, and God bless.
someone needs to make all the ask polly columns into a book. please.
I'm not sure I've ever posted before, but I read your column every week and forward on its sage wisdom to friends and acquaintances. You are a huge talent and so wise, and I'm thrilled for you that you're being recognized and paid. I hope The Cut appreciates what they're getting and doesn't change a SINGLE THING. I will obviously follow you there. Congratulations, and thank you, thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom and for being so damn funny and awesome too.
Love your column, love your advice. Will be awesome to have an intelligent advice columnist in mainstream media (though my heart belongs to Dan Savage, fisting isn't mainstream.. well.. yet. Congrats you talented fucker.

A Plymouth family tradition for 3-time winner of Francis Wayland Parker Scholar honor
Buttolph is the September Scholar of the Month, marking the third time in three years the 18-year-old Plymouth Regional High School senior has had his essay selected.
All he needs now is to earn the Scholar of the Year honor in May to match the feat accomplished by his older brother, Michael, who was a Scholar of the Month three times and was the 2011 Scholar of the Year.
Buttolph, who is applying for admission to Cornell University, is the top-ranked student in his class and is involved in so many school and extracurricular activities that he needs three sheets of paper to list them all. He plays the trumpet, is on the ski-jumping team and trivia club and is a member of the student Senate. He's a member of the National Honor Society, has received the national Presidential volunteer service award three times and is an Eagle Scout.
"I like to try to think of something different for the essay," he said.
"There's another, so we'll see," Andrew said of Stephen. "He works pretty hard."
The Francis Wayland Parker Scholar program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Association of School Principals, in cooperation with the New Hampshire Union Leader, Lifetouch Studios and the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Northern New England.

Galaxy scores early and often to topple Sounders FC 3-0 in Seattle
Sounders see their six-match home winning streak come to an end
Seattle Times staff reporter
The main scoreboard faded to black in the second minute, the press-box lights flickered and large sections of the CenturyLink Field floodlights shut off, but the Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles Galaxy battled on in the fading twilight.
Given what followed, the home supporters likely wished they hadn't.
Los Angeles scored three goals in the opening 36 minutes en route to a 3-0 victory Monday night, vaulting itself currently into one of the Western Conference playoff spots. The defeat halted Seattle's six-game home win streak and delayed coach Sigi Schmid's bid for MLS victory No. 200 for at least another few days.
"This week, it was very straight forward," Galaxy forward Landon Donovan said. "You want to look at our lineup and theirs and say who won each matchup. I think tonight, there are at least nine or 10 check marks in our column, maybe 11."
There certainly was one in Donovan's column, given his influence in his team's opening two goals.
He timed an incisive run through the center of the Seattle defense eight minutes in, paused for a moment with the ball at his feet and dropped a pass for the charging Gyasi Zardes to fire past Seattle keeper Stefan Frei.
Creator turned beneficiary 10 minutes later as Donovan scored after pouncing on Marcelo Sarvas' deflected drive with the Sounders defense on its heels.
Chad Marshall — after being in a car accident Saturday and suffering from back spasms, according to a team official – was a late scratch and that forced a reshuffling of Seattle's back line. Jalil Anibaba moved into the middle and Dylan Remick, still shaking off the rust of a month lost to an injury, came in at left back. The makeshift unit looked unsettled from the start.
"Landon found space on DeAndre (Yedlin) on that side, but it wasn't just him," Schmid said. "… (Robbie) Keane found space, Sarvas had space, Juninho had space.
"We weren't tight enough. When all those players have that much space, they're going to show you how good they are."
Two goals became three nine minutes before halftime as Stefan Ishizaki finished off a feed from Sarvas and — who else — Donovan.
Los Angeles fired off 11 shots to Seattle's three in the opening half and had 10 crosses to zero.
Any comeback attempt by Seattle never gathered any real momentum despite some chances in the second half.
A botched clearance from Omar Gonzalez nearly led to a goal for Obafemi Martins early in the second half. Later, Clint Dempsey forced Galaxy keeper Jaime Penedo into a sprawling save.
"We've been here before," Sounders defender Zach Scott said. "We've gotten slaughtered in New England (5-0 in May) and come back and put a pretty good streak together. Like (Schmid) said, 'We've got to look at our body of work.' "
The Sounders still are six points clear of Real Salt Lake at the top of the conference with a game in hand, eight points above the Galaxy.
But the only number that mattered Monday was shining for all to see up on the scoreboard, having just kicked back on midway through the first half to display it.

Myths of "Titanic" proportions: the Devil's code, prescient dreams and a "hole in time"

The Titanic shipwreck has generated a great deal of myths and legends. Some are humorous, and others chilling. But almost all of them suggest that the sinking of the ill-fated luxury liner was destined to be.
A builder trapped in the hull
Sinister rumors emerged while the liner was still under construction. According to one such rumor, the builder team could hear a repetitive tapping noise coming from the Titanic's second bottom shortly before her completion. It was suggested one or several of the builders may have been trapped in the tank, which served as the inner bottom.
Was Titanic's hull number anti-Catholic?
After the Titanic disaster, rumors began to spread that the ship's hull number, 390904, was a secret code used by Irish Protestant builders to express their animosity toward the Roman Catholic Church. It was suggested that if handwritten on paper and viewed through a mirror, the number would read "No Pope."
"Divine retribution" was not long in coming. The Titanic sank during her maiden voyage, following a fatal collision with an iceberg.
Prophetic dreams
Some of those who booked tickets for the Titanic's maiden voyage are said to have cancelled their reservations at the last minute after foreseeing the wreck in their sleep.
British entrepreneur J. Connon Middleton is said to have dreamed about the sinking for two consecutive nights. In his dream, he saw Titanic passengers and crewmembers stranded at sea. He also saw himself floating in the air and looking on.
Middleton recounted what he had seen to his family and friends, and they spread the word. The man had urgent business engagements in the United States, and his premonitions left him in panic.
Hesitant about whether he should go ahead with the trip or cancel it, he received a last-minute wire from New York, suggesting he put off his departure.
Some of the crew, including sailors and engineers, fled the vessel during the Titanic's last call, at Queenstown, feeling this was their last chance to escape.
Henry Wilde, chief officer of the Titanic who previously served on the Olympic liner, mentioned his misgivings in a letter to his sister: "I still don't like this ship... I have a queer feeling about her." Despite this, he let his friends talk him into taking the post on the Titanic, only to perish with other crew and passengers in April of 1912.
Titanic falling into a time hole?
They say that sea vessels continue to hear SOS signals from the Titanic to this day. Radio signals come periodically, once every few years. Also, some "survivors" are reported to have been found decades after the Titanic tragedy.
Thus, as legend has it, a middle-aged woman dressed in an early 20th-century fashion style was taken on board a vessel passing by the Titanic sinking site. The name she used to identify herself was later found in the passenger lists.
Other miraculous ghost stories related to the Titanic mention a ten-month-old baby allegedly found alive in a lifebelt, carrying the inscription Titanic, and an elderly gentleman dressed in a White Star Line captain's uniform. The man is said to have introduced himself to his rescuers as Captain Smith – the name of the Titanic's chief commanding officer.

High court: No cameras at gay marriage trial
The Supreme Court on Wednesday indefinitely blocked cameras from covering the high-profile federal court trial on the constitutionality of California's ban on same-sex marriage.
Associated Press Writers
The Supreme Court on Wednesday indefinitely blocked cameras from covering the high-profile federal court trial on the constitutionality of California's ban on same-sex marriage.
Now in its third day, the trial in federal court in San Francisco concerns Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban on gay marriage in the state.
The presiding trial judge, Vaughn R. Walker, had authorized real-time streaming of the proceedings for viewing in other federal courthouses in California, New York, Oregon and Washington and contemplated posting recordings of the trial on the court's Web site after several hours of delay.
However, a conservative 5-4 majority ruled against streaming the trial to the other courts. The high court said it wasn't deciding the Web site posting plan because Walker hadn't formally requested authorization for that proposal.
Gay rights advocates condemned the ruling sought by lawyers representing proponents of gay marriage who were concerned that broadcasts would expose their trial witnesses to retaliation from gay marriage supporters.
"The Supreme Court just struck a huge blow against transparency and accountability," said Rick Jacobs, chairman of the Courage Campaign, a Los Angeles-based gay rights organization. "This historic trial will remain largely hidden from public view, despite it's historic potential to challenge and change the minds of Americans."
In federal court Wednesday, evidence in the case targeted a proponent of Proposition 8 who warned voters in a letter during the 2008 campaign that gay rights activists would try to legalize sex with children if same-sex couples had the right to wed.
San Francisco resident Hak-Shing William Tam, a defendant in the lawsuit, discussed the letter sent to Chinese-Americans church groups during a legal deposition taped last month.
"On their agenda list is: legalize having sex with children," states the letter, which also cautioned that "other states would fall into Satan's hands" if gays weren't stopped from marrying in California.
Lawyers for the two same-sex couples pursuing the lawsuit introduced the footage in court to buttress their contention that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional because it was fueled by deep-seated animosity against gays.
Regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit, the case is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it could lead to laws that restrict marriage to a man and a woman being upheld or abolished nationwide.
In its unsigned opinion about cameras, the Supreme Court criticized Walker for attempting to change the rules "at the eleventh hour to treat this case differently than other trials.
"Not only did it ignore the federal statute that establishes the procedures by which its rules may be amended, its express purpose was to broadcast a high-profile trial that would include witness testimony about a contentious issue."
The court's majority, though not identified in the ruling, consists of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
The four justices in dissent with the ruling were Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and John Paul Stevens. In a dissent written by Breyer, they said the high court should have stayed out of the issue.
Breyer said "the public interest weighs in favor of providing access to the courts."
In his San Francisco courtroom, Judge Walker said the ruling provided "limited guidance," and the Web site issue was pending.
"My inclination," he said, "is to put that issue aside for the time being."
Walker said he didn't want to delay the progress of the trial.
Anthony Pugno, a Sacramento lawyer for the group behind the ballot initiative, said he was puzzled by Walker's comments about the possibility of posting video on the Web.
"I'm not sure what else the Supreme Court needs to tell him," Pugno said.
Most federal courts say they fear broadcasts will diminish the system's dignity, could unfairly influence rulings and disrupt proceedings. There is also concern that judges, lawyers and witnesses will pander to the camera while potential jurors will shy away from serving out of concern they will be identified.
Though all 50 states allow cameras into some state-level court proceedings, federal courts from the high court on down have for decades generally refused to admit cameras into courtrooms.
Congress has failed several times to pass bills introduced to specifically allow the technology in the federal courts, though a new proposal with bipartisan support to allow cameras is pending before the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee.
Six trial courts and two appeals court participated in a three-year study during the 1990s that included granting applications to broadcast 186 hearing, including 56 trials.
A majority of judges and lawyers who participated in the program supported opening federal courts to cameras, but the Judicial Conference of the United States - which sets the court system's policies - still said it was against recording hearings and trials.
Sherman reported from Washington. Associated Press Writer Lisa Leff in San Francisco contributed to this report.

The Boats & Gear blog is overseen by our Boats & Gear editor, Michael Crowley. It explores new construction projects, electronics, gear and equipment for the commercial fishing industry.
Thursday, 04 September 2014
"Go West, young man" was supposedly advice author Horace Greeley gave in the mid-1800s to young men burdened by a lack of opportunity among the cities and farms of the East Coast. These days that expression is being turned around as a few West Coast fishermen are looking to the East, primarily to Maine, when it's time to build a new boat.
That's particularly true for boats in the 40-foot range. We look at one example of this trend in the boatbuilding story that begins on page 28 in the October issue.
When Jerry Brum a Dungeness crab fisherman out of San Mateo, Calif., was thinking about upgrading from his 32-footer, a friend suggested he take a look at a 45-footer owned by another Dungeness crab fisherman. That 45-footer, a fiberglass boat built in 2009 at H&H Marine in Steuben, Maine, got Brum's attention.
Brum liked the looks of the boat and signed up with H&H Marine to build him a slightly smaller version of the Osmond Beal design, at 40' x 14' 10". It's not easy working out the details of having your boat built when the boatyard is 3,000 miles — give or take — away. It takes trust on the part of the fisherman and the boatbuilder.
Brian Robbins, the article's author, leads the reader through the building of the Miss G, until Brum has a boat that offers plenty of working room and carrying capacity, yet enables him to work the Miss G by himself if need be.

Commenter confessions: dealing with office thieves
June 1st, 2007 · 17 Comments
re: "You left evidence", Good Soul says:
In 2001, I solved a "disappearing food" problem without these little notes. For some time (3 weeks or so), I bought some very nice food, put my name on it with a "do not touch — not for human consumption!" sign, and watched it disappear. I also found out about the fine taste of the thief – sugar was high in the rank. So on a random day, I placed a box of very nice sugar treats with the same sign, in the same place, and — as expected — it disappeared pretty soon. That was 9-10AM. By 2PM, the horse laxative I put in the food made two co-workers abandon the office in a hurry, only to spend the next 24 to 48 hours in the hospital.
Nothing was ever said (it could lead to lawsuit). If needed, I would claim the treats where for my horses, and "not for human consumption" — notice a similarity? I immediately stopped eating the food I left behind, just in case they thought of doing the same. Somehow, food never disappeared again. Next time I would use ink — permanent ink — just in case the idiots choose the lawsuit option.
re: "I swear this isn't some kind of stealth viral marketing campaign", LQP says:
Back in the day when I worked at a public library somebody stole my Hot Pockets. I responded by writing this passive-aggressive haiku (or something similar, I can't recall it exactly) and posting it on the fridge:
Dear Hot Pocket Thief:
I hope that it tastes like guilt,
So hot and delish
The next day there was a note from the Hot Pocket thief who was profuse in his/her apology, as well as two new replacement boxes of hot pockets. I felt really terrible despite it all, and attempt to curb any passive aggressive behavior from myself.
re:"I spit in mine", briggs says:
Where I used to work, there was this guy who would drink from anothers guy drink when he left the room. One time he place his drink on a napkin and wrote: "I spit in this". When he got back somebody else had written "So did I!"

Mmm, feel the repressed rage!

Visit Memorable Sites
Someone who is celebrating their dodranscentennial (I had to look the official name up) has loads of memories. There are so many places and people that have been important to them over their life, and they may not have seen these places in years.
A trip to see some of those special places is an event that you'll both enjoy, and a memory that you'll both cherish.
Before you go you might want to take some time to make sure that you have the correct addresses. After all many of the buildings and places will changed over the past 75 years, and the birthday man or woman may not immediately recognize these places.
Create a Slideshow
Another great way to celebrate a milestone event is to create a slide show using favorite photos from the person's lifetime. You might try asking family and friends for their favorite photos so that you get a wider selection.
If the photos are not in digital format, then you'll need to scan them into your computer. You can then use your favorites photo editing software to make a slide show. Don't forget to add music to create a really unique show!
If you need help with this you might try asking a teenager to help you. Most teams can do this quickly without any problem!
Take a Special Trip
Does the birthday man or woman have any special trips that they've always wanted to take? Taking a once-in-a-lifetime trip is a marvelous way to celebrate the 75th!
If possible, bring along as many family members or friends for an extraordinary celebration. A cruise or a resort stay makes it easy to find events for people in all age ranges and activity levels will enjoy.
Find Their Old Friends on Facebook
Is the senior active on Facebook? If not, you could think about setting up a Facebook account for them. Look up their friends and family members and ask them to send messages for their birthday. You could also try to track down old school friends that they may have lost touch with!
He or she will enjoy looking at their friend's pages and seeing what everyone is up to. 75 definitely isn't too old for Facebook - my mother-in-law (who is in her 80s and isn't tech savvy in the least) feels that she has to limit her Facebook time to under 2 hours per day!
What Else Happened in 1938?
Obviously, to the birthday celebrant, the most important thing that happened in 1938 was their birth! But there were other events that took place that year - here are just a few of them:
- Nestle Crunch bar was created. Check out the winners of their 75th anniversary cupcake recipe on their Facebook page - they sound delicious!
- Superman made his first appearance in DC Comics book. A copy of that comic book would make a wonderful 75th birthday gift - and it will only set you back a cool $2.16 million.
- Instant coffee was invented.
- 1938 was a stellar year for comics..."Dennis the Menace" debuted in July
- Lou Gehrig hits his last grand slam - a total of 23 during his career.
- Dupont develops a new synthetic fiber - nylon.
- Panic ensued after Orson Welles' radio drama "War of the Worlds" was broadcast; many listeners thought it was a news broadcast rather than a play.
- Ball point pens were first introduced in 1938.

NZ school carpets – choose carefully with carpet tiles
With the ever increasing pressure on school budgets, the choice of a good value school carpet becomes even more important. A school Board expects the new school carpet to last many years so a hard-wearing easy-to-clean, value-for-money carpet is essential. So if you are an architect or school building designer or have the job of specifying materials for a school building project, it is important to bear in mind a few key points about school carpet tiles.
Cleaning school carpets
A school is one of the harshest environments for a carpet. The traffic is high and unlike most other settings for a carpet, the traffic is generally oblivious to the carpet underfoot as the children go from one room to another. At any age, the quality and life of carpet probably does not figure on children's' radars.
They will bring dirt, soil and mud from the outside play areas unaware of the potential damage to the carpet. Some may clean their shoes but it is likely to be a quick scrape of the shoe rather than a thorough clean so it is inevitable that abrasive particles will be brought in and then pressed into the carpet by all of the foot-traffic.
Therefore, school carpets need to be easy to clean for regular overnight vacuuming. The cleaning staff will be under pressure to clean as fast as possible so when specifying a carpet for a school redevelopment, make sure that you look at carpets that require simple maintenance rather than hard cleaning regimes.
Spot and stain removal
Almost as a consequence of the type of users of school carpeting are the inevitable marks, spots and stains that will be made.
The children, at whatever age, will drop or spill food, liquids, gum or many other materials which can cause markings and stains. The school will not want stains on a new carpe so it is important to specify carpets that respond to stain removal without being damaged.
Durability of school carpeting
A long-life is essential for school carpeting. Being able to easily remove dirt particles is one way of extending the suitable life of the carpet. Being able to easily remove stains is another.
There is another common cause of premature replacement of school carpets – water stains. In schools but especially schools for young children and in kindergartens, the risk of spilt water is much higher. Using a moisture-proofing treatment such as Aquaban vastly reduces the markings made by spilt water and therefore extends the usable life of the carpet.
Working environment
An increasing issue for school administrators and therefore for specifiers of school carpet is the topic of the working environment. As more children develop allergies and staff are more concerned about the air quality of their working environment, it is important to be able to remove unpleasant odours which can get trapped in carpet.
This is especially the case in educational establishments where frequent cleaning is needed to clear mess and spillages from the children. In this case, treating the carpet with an atmosphere enhancing treatment like Odourban can absorb and neutralize odours such as ammonia, hydrogen sulphide and formaldehyde. This helps to meet air quality compliance requirements for educational facilities.
Before recommending school carpet, it is necessary to consider the durability, the ease of cleaning and the resistance to staining, water spillages and odour repellants. One of the best options for people responsible for buying carpeting in schools is to look at NZ school carpet tiles.
These answer all of the concerns people have about carpet and floor coverings for schools including durability, ease of maintenance and of course the low cost replacement of any damaged or stained flooring. From every perspective, carpet tiles provide the best answer for school managers and Boards who are looking to purchase new floor covering in their school.
You can even find a massive range of different colours and patterns so that you can recreate your school logo or match the floor to your school colours. Whether you want red, blue green, black or just about any other colour, there are carpet tiles to suit your needs.
Be careful about the carpet tiles you choose
It needs to be stressed that regular domestic carpet tiles you can find in the carpet stores are not going to be suitable. You should look for commercial grade carpet tiles. One of the leading suppliers of these is Carlisle Commercial Carpet in Auckland. However they do service the whole of New Zealand with school carpeting. So visit their website and get a few ideas then give them a call to talk about school carpet tiles.

The trip from Ho Chi Minh is more than 4 hours which can be exciting if you look out the window and take in the cultural adventure of the Vietnamese life. Make sure your driver is aware to give you a bathroom stop on the way and eat beforehand if you are hungry as the stop on the way will not suit much more than a cold drink and packet of chips.
The resort was remote and very quiet on arrival. We thought that we were there with very few guests. As the days (6 in total) went by we realised that there was many more guests but the resort is very spaced out giving you the feeling of privacy and individual attention.
The staff were very attentive and beautiful and the added extras were very much appreciated. We enjoyed the personalised service of everyone, especially by the poolside.
The dining area is in the most beautiful spot - overlooking the main pool and the beach. The menu, although changes each evening is limited and does not cater with local dishes.
Although the resort is very remote, we were pleasantly surprised with the fair price of food and most beverages (all wine is expensive in Asia compared to Australia so don't expect to drink it without paying much more for it).
All pricing is in $US, so be aware and take either local currency or $US with you if you plan to visit the local area or take a taxi to the town of Phan Thiet or Mu Nei.
We had a wonderful foot massage and lovely walks along the beach, giving much attention to the local fishing village bringing in their daily catch.
There is a well equipped gym (if you feel the urge) and several pools to choose from.
Let go, enjoy and relax. This is the place to not do much but enjoy being away from it all.
If you are looking for action and adventure, this may not be the place for you.

Film Review: The Truth About Emanuel (2013)
SYNOPSIS: Emanuel (Kaya Scodelario), a troubled young woman, becomes preoccupied with her mysterious new neighbor (Jessica Biel), who bears a striking resemblance to her dead mother. REVIEW: This is a dark drama exploring issues of loss, motherhood and secrets, and there's an intensity to this film that some might find unsettling. I'm not entirely sure if the more surrealistic elements of the film worked, but there was certainly a fresh and creepy quality present throughout … Continue reading

Top 10 Hottest Female Horror Film Leads
Another tough one as there really is alot of sexy hot female leads within horror films.

Milla Jovovich as the Resident Evil lead is a great example of this, who pretty much is the face of Resident Evil films. The same could be said for Kate … Continue reading

SYNOPSIS: When her child goes missing, a mother looks to unravel the legend of the Tall Man, an entity who allegedly abducts children. REVIEW: I had heard about a film titled "The Tall Man" and had instantly pictured in my head imagery of Angus Scrimm reprising his role as the ghoul-toting funeral director. However, you should know this is definitely "not" that kind of film. While the title peaked my interest as a potential horror … Continue reading

No, this isn't a PHANTASM flick but it does sound pretty wild, here's the line: In an isolated, slowly dying mining town, children are vanishing without a trace – abducted, the townsfolk whisper, by a mysterious entity known locally as "The Tall Man." Town nurse Julia … Continue reading

Great news tonight as word comes down that Jessica Biel has signed on to star in the completely unneeded remake of TOTAL RECALL.

The raison d'etre of The Frisch School, as a unique educational institution of Bergen County, is to promote the values and study of the Judaic heritage as defined within the Written Law (Bible) and Oral Law (Talmud).
We believe that every human being is created in the image of God, and therefore endowed with inherent worth.
Furthermore, the human expression and experience are worthy of study, understanding, and evaluation.
We believe that the Jewish People have been selected by God for a way of life which endows them with sanctity.
The Jewish people are distinct by virtue of their adherence to both the ethical and ritual precepts of Torah (Jewish Law).
It is this distinction which we believe is worthy of promotion and perpetuation through the Jewish learning and living experience.
We believe that the creation of the State of Israel is one of the seminal events in Jewish history.
We seek to instill in our students an attachment to the State of Israel and its people as well as a sense of responsibility for their welfare.

Last year's finalist Andy Murray needed to fight off a mirror image of himself on Wednesday as the fifth seed successfully dealt with the slicing and dicing game of Alexandr Dolgopolov 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 (3-7), 6-3 to earn a place in the Australian Open semifinals.
Murray got a taste of what it's like for others to face his own attack as he played the 22-year-old, who has made a breakthrough in his Melbourne Park debut.
"It's very tough to face him," the Scot said. "Every point is different. ...I struggled with my rhythm early, but I thought I did well." Murray lost his first set of the fortnight as Dolgopolov prevented another straight-set sweep for the seed. But Murray staged a recovery as he won the first dozen points of the fourth set.
"I had to go for my shots more," he said. "I was tentative in the tiebreaker and missed a few easy forehands, but I got off to a good start, and it settled me down."
Zvonareva, Clijsters advance
In the women's quarters, Vera Zvonareva and Kim Clijsters set up a rerun of a 2010 Grand Slam final as the pair each survived loud off-court distractions to post straight-set wins into the semifinals.
The Australia Day holiday provided its share of off-putting moments in both quarterfinals with second seed Zvonareva dealing with the shock of a nearby 21-gun salute and Clijsters startled in her match by a loud and low fighter jet flyover.
Zvonareva beat Czech Petra Kvitova 6-2, 6-4 while third seed Clijsters stopped Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).
The Belgian admitted she ducked a bit as jets roared overhead. "They seemed to be flying pretty low over the stadium," she said. "I was happy to see them go." Clijsters led a set and 4-2 when she began to lose focus, allowing Radwanska the match lead for a first time as the Pole broke for 5-4 only to drop her own serve a game later, 5-5.
Clijsters regained her momentum to win in a tiebreaker. "I didn't feel that great out there," the treble Grand Slam champion said. "I was a little heavy in the legs and tired overall, but I hung in.
She's a tricky player." The 2004 Melbourne finalist, playing in her sixth semi at the event, said she was looking forward to facing Zvonareva. "I hope my experience can help a bit," she said. "We still have the number one, two and three players in the world here."
The booming celebration also rattled Zvonareva in a game in which Kvitova secured a break for 3-2 in their second set. There was also a lapse as play was halted so medics could attend to an ill spectator.
"The cannon noise was a difficult moment," Zvonareva admitted. I tried to keep my concentration and focus on my game. I think I did that really well."
