Cary Grant's Timeless Style Advice
Since Cary Grant first appeared in Hollywood in the late 1930s, his status as a style icon has never been questioned. The sartorial master imparted his wisdom to the editors of GQ for the Winter 1967/68 issue in an article called, "Cary Grant On Style." As these tips prove, true style really is timeless

"Do see that your socks stay up. Nothing can spoil an otherwise well-groomed effect like sagging socks. Don't stuff your pockets with heavy articles and bulging wallets filled with seldom-used cards. They ruin not only the neatness of your appearance but the actual tailoring of your suit."

Fat Joe recently spoke with radio personality Angie Martinez about his upcoming album Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 saying more time in the studio could make him "invincible."
The Bronx, New York-bred emcee described his work and touring ethic upon releasing new projects.
"I'll tell you one thing that's even scarier and I don't want America to shoot me when I walk down the street, my work ethic, I put an album together then I go tour the rest of the year or I do whatever else," Joe explained. "If I stood in the studio like some of these rappers all day, it'd be invincible. I swear to you, I would have 20 number one hits in a year…If I stood there, eight months in the studio sleeping, it'd be scary for a lot of Americans out there…It's not too many artists that can be here for 15 years coming every single year with a hit record…regardless if I sell a million or don't sell a million, we love music and I put it up every year. (Hot 97)
Joey Crack previously spoke with radio host Jenny Boom Boom about his new album's motivation.
The album will be in stores April 7," he said. "I've just been making that hit mania…It just feels big. My first album Jealous Ones Still Envy was my biggest album and I haven't did no album to this day that I felt I made music as big as that. So I just went hit mania on this one right here. It feels great." (Jenny Boom Boom)
Fat Joe's ninth solo album is set to feature a variety of artists and producers.
Joe's new project will have guest appearances by Ron Browz, Fabolous, Lil' Kim, T-Pain, Lil' Wayne, Raekwon, Akon along with production from Jim Jonsin, The Incredibles and The Street Runners. Cuts from the album include "One" and "Winding On Me." (Market Watch)
The Terror Squad leader's latest effort will drop via EMI Music.
"We are thrilled to be backing Fat Joe's latest creation and continuing EMI's relationship with him," said Dominic Pandiscia, senior vice president and GM of EMI Label Services. "He's a significant musical and cultural force whose appeal cuts across so many different genres and fans. This is a great record and the response is terrific." (Press Release)

Pumpkin is one of my favorite scents for autumn. But have you ever noticed that many times that pumpkin scent is usually slightly off from smelling like the real thing?
Well thanks to The SOI Company, an amazingly scented, all natural candle, that is also a moisturizer, is exactly what I will be presenting to my party hostesses this holiday season. I think these candles are the greatest things ever. Because the SOI candles are made of 100% all natural soy oil, you will enjoy clean, soot-free burning that is not harmful to you or the environment. The SOI candles soy oil only heats to 106 degrees making them last longer. The melted soy oil from SOI candles can also be used as skin moisturizer and help remedy sunburns, eczema, psoriasis and poison oak.
I have been enjoying the Pumpkin Spice candle in my home for the last week and I am absolutely crazy about it. The fragrance is heavenly, very warm and inviting and really puts you in a holiday state of mind. I still get the aroma of pumpkin spice even when the candle is not burning. I also loved it as a body moisturizer. At first I was very hesitant about dipping my fingers in hot soy oil and applying it to my body, but the oil was actually more warm than hot. It felt very soothing and I really enjoyed the fragrance on my skin.
The SOI candles are available in some great holiday scents such as; Pumpkin Spice, Mandarin Cranberry, Holiday Spirit, Spiced Cider and Mistletoe and would make great hostess/holiday gifts. And if you happen to be the hostess, having these burning when your guests walk will definitely create a festive atmosphere…and if your hands happen to get a bit dry from all of the entertaining, just dip them in your jar with the burning candle and enjoy the surprised looks on your guests faces!

Tikvat Israel…
A Friendly, Participatory, and Egalitarian Conservative Synagogue in Rockville, MD
At Tikvat Israel we appreciate the great diversity of backgrounds that make up the Jewish community today.
Our congregation includes not only people steeped in Jewish experience and training, but also those just discovering the beauty and richness of Judaism. Some come from traditional religious backgrounds; others grew up in non-observant homes. Some are Jews by choice; others are part of interfaith families.
Together we are united in the common desire to belong to a congregation where community means friendship, where religious practice means spiritual inspiration, and where education for young and old means personal growth and discovery.
Tikvat Israel is a place where you and your family will become enriched through friendship, prayer, and mitzvot.
The focus was on mishpacha (family) at the Women's Network membership tea on Oct. 26 in the shul's Flax Library, where 30 participants shared the meaning behind a carefully selected family photo. The event's purpose, said Women's Network coordinator Rebecca Salon, was to "reconnect us all to a piece of our heritage and/or legacy." Shown in photo at right: Fortuna Scheige. The afternoon event, included fresh fruit and other snacks, kicked off a full year of activities for the TI Women's Network. (Photos by Felicia R. Black)
TI members, such as Harley Liebenson, will be consuming fresh produce all fall as participants in the Community Supported Agricultural program running each Monday afternoon through Nov. 24 in the lobby at the synagogue. The fall shares will feature apples, butternut squash, acorn squash, delicata squash, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, radishes, daikon radishes and lettuce. The first day of farm deliveries was Oct. 6. A full share this fall costs $240, with eggs and mushrooms available for an extra fee. (Photo by Felicia R. Black)

This presentation details six highly creative and technology based ways that teachers could incorporate design into their classroom, and use it for assessment. The ideas are as follows: flipbooks, mindmaps, photoquotes, infographics, flashcards and social bookmarking. I like this article a great deal because it in itself is a great example of using technology to design a visually appealing presentation that presents information in a more creative and user-friendly way. It is a designed solution to the problem of getting readers to engage with your content in an information-saturated society!

Future of Nursing Initiative
FRIDAY, Dec. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Eating out of home (OH) is associated with higher total energy and fat intake, according to research published online Nov. 23 in Obesity Reviews.
Carl Lachat, Ph.D., from the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, and colleagues reviewed available literature through 2011 to assess the nutritional characteristics associated with eating OH, and its associations with energy intake, dietary quality, and socioeconomic status. Of the 7,319 peer-reviewed studies identified, 29 met the inclusion criteria, and the quality of data was evaluated. Sensitivity analyses were carried out on isolated nationally representative data from six countries and large cohort studies from 11 countries.
The investigators found that, in all age groups, OH foods represented an important source of energy, and their energy contribution was higher in adolescents and young adults. There was an association between eating OH and increased total energy intake, contribution of fat to the daily diet, and higher socioeconomic status. Two large studies reported a correlation between eating OH and reduced intake of micronutrients, particularly vitamin C, calcium, and iron.
"We conclude that eating OH is a risk factor for higher energy and fat intake and lower micronutrient intake," the authors write.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma Insurance Department says more than 60,000 claims have been filed from tornadoes that raked the state last month, with total insurance payments currently topping $470 million.
Insurance Commissioner John Doak released the latest figures on Tuesday and said it's only the beginning.
The May 19 and 20 tornadoes, including the EF5 that ripped through Moore, resulted in more than 16,000 homeowner claims totaling more than $326,000. Nearly 20,000 automobile claims also were received.
Another series of storms on May 30 and 31 resulted in more than 13,000 homeowner claims and 8,200 private automobile claims.
There have also been nearly 3,300 claims for damage to commercial property and commercial automobiles.
Doak described the numbers as staggering and says they will continue to rise.

Paul Ryan to Run For Vice President With Mitt Romney; GOP Ticket to Campaign Saturdayby Free Britney at . Comments
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced today that House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan is his pick for Vice President.
The Wisconsin Congressman will be introduced as the V.P. nominee as "The Romney Plan For A Stronger Middle Class" bus tour kicks off in Virginia.
Romney is expected to speak at 8:45 a.m. in Norfolk, Va., with a retired military battleship as a backdrop ... fittingly the U.S.S. Wisconsin.
Two others high on Romney's short list of VP contenders - former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio - were informed in recent days that they would not be on the ticket.
Instead it will be Paul Ryan, 42, already considered a rising star in the Republican Party, is currently the chairman of the U.S. House Budget Committee.
He's been in Congress since 1999 and is best known this session for his controversial budget plan this term that includes an overhaul of Medicare.
Democrats have persistently claimed his plan would "end Medicare as we know it," but the GOP considers Ryan a leading voice on fiscal issues.
Both well-versed and telegenic, Ryan has stood by his plan as a solution to an ever-growing deficit and out-of-control entitlement spending.
Ryan has made fiscal discipline the touchstone of his tenure; with Ryan at his side, Romney is doubling down on his perceived economic strengths.
The choice promises a fierce debate over the size and role of government in America, and Democrats are relishing the chance to take on that fight.
Paul Ryan: Good choice by Romney?
You did nothing wrong and for people who should welcome free speech, tsk tsk. So enjoy the opinions of whom you (THG) agree with and trample the first amendment.
APPLICATIONS- That's the word for the day! When your not filling them out you can " Pony Up" your best defense because in a short time there will be an end to wasteful Government assistance! RomRyan will show you the way. Maybe not to Fields of Gold but you will have a chance, once again at the possibility of SELF RESPECT AKA- Pursuit of Happiness? It will be a hard fall and finding someone to blame will most assuredly be a priority along with a symptom of your contagious illness called hatred! And then there's me! Just doing what I can to help the common man. Unappreciative job without a doubt! My advice to you- let go, let go of the hand of entitlement. If your lucky someone may even find you worthy of the fruit the world has to offer. Of course it wont be me but still.
My guess is this- HG- they are seeing who the real troublemakers are. You rotate your dozens of usernames and blame any and everything on Matt! Check yourself! Your game has been found out! You are nothing but troublemakers and my guess is THAT'S WHY YOUR POST ARE GONE!
You did erase comments. The guy talking to Chely. WHAT HAPPENED TO FREE SPEECH? He didn't curse or say anything that should have been deleted. FREEDOM FOR SOME??? That's BS.
So I guess Romney could care less about the hispanic vote. Thats fine, Mittens. Now, we could care less about you too.
When you wake up in the morning and your post is gone then you will have a pretty good idea as to what's NOT allowed? Eh?
@Eyes- STILL- no one can tell us about Obama and his plan. RomRyan will win this election if for no other reason they are the only 2 sain ones of the bunch. Obama has not a clue. He is a civil servant who is in over his head. From the moment he took up for that Harvard professor we were sure to be headed for trouble.
To the Trollies of HG: My God! Come clean! Do you people actually get paid here to intimidate, insult, harass, and bully other bloggers?!? And yes...that includes Matt, my friend. I know one thing he as well as myself are quite satisfied with Mitt Romneys' choice. We WILL be voting for Romney-Ryan. It's a fact! For the rest of you lib-turds...think carefully about your POTUS'S one word political campaign slogan: "Forward". Yeah, "Forward"---over the cliff of economic failure. Like lemmings who don't THINK but follow mindlessly while a Pied Piper seduces you with promises most of what he can't keep and policies that will continue to harm our economic growth and job creation. Yeah. "FORWARD" into the black abyss with Obama, a proven Presidential failure. You go on ahead over that cliff. I prefer a team that offers a firm foundation of good policies to stand on for a way out of this economic nightmare! Romney-Ryan 2012!
Obama 2012! For real!
This issue where Reid says Rob-Me hasn't paid taxes in ten years and Rob-Mes' wife says "You People" don't need to see their tax returns. Put it this way: if Reid is correct, then Rob-Me withdraws from the election. If Rob-Me is right, then Reid doesn't run in the next election. Sound fair?

Women learning to work as skilled laborers alongside men would seem a perfect example of how Afghanistan has banished the Taliban mentality. But, as CBS News Correspondent Allen Pizzey reports, in a development Washington is watching closely, the Kabul government has re-instituted the department of vice and virtue to safeguard Islamic values.
"It was a demand by some groups and we have accommodated it, but the real trend in Afghanistan is to move toward a civil society," says presidential spokesman Saeed Fazul Akhbar.
The Taliban's brutal "vice and virtue police" beat women for even minor violations of strict rules of dress and conduct. There is no suggestion such excesses are about to recur -- but bad memories linger.
"All of the things that came out of that office made the women of Afghanistan ... made their lives a living hell," says Theresa Loar, of the group Vital Voices. "Many of the Afghan women we are working with ... are looking at this, they are very concerned, very cautious."
The new incarnation of vice and virtue falls under the Ministry of Justice and department head Mustafa Qassimi, who says it will merely "advise" on Islamic norms.
"Advice" in the form of snide remarks from local men has been given to the women working on the American charity-run building site. Mercy Corp Project Manager Storai Sadat dismisses the verbal harassment as the price of progress.
"Just some sentences like 'Look at them they are working like foreigners,' so I say you have to deal with these small sentences," says Sadat.
Partly out of tradition and partly to avoid the problems that are a legacy of the Taliban, many women here still wear the all-encompassing burqa.
But they are also determined to keep and build on their new-won rights. At the end of an eight hour day which earns them $1, the women builders spend another hour learning to read and write.
"I will be happy if I can help my children with their lessons," a woman says through a translator.
And she can draw hope and inspiration from the fact that women now hold cabinet posts and serve as deputy ministers.
"If the woman is working very hard, I'm sure they will get the power," says Tajwar Kakar, the deputy minister of women's affairs.
But neither hard work nor virtue police will deter these Afghan women.

Ferry survivors return to school amid tears, grief
As parents of the dead wept, more than 70 teenagers who survived a ferry sinking that killed hundreds of their schoolmates walked in a somber procession Wednesday to their first classes since the April disaster.
Associated Press
As parents of the dead wept, more than 70 teenagers who survived a ferry sinking that killed hundreds of their schoolmates walked in a somber procession Wednesday to their first classes since the April disaster.
Some of the 73 students, wearing white and black uniforms and carrying book bags, bowed their heads as they cried and walked slowly from a bus to the school entrance. Some stopped to hug the parents of their friends, who caressed their hair and faces. Adults carried banners of encouragement. One read: "I love you." A large placard, which reads "We pray the dead will rest in peace," was hung up on the school entrance gate.
The anger, grief and deep remorse at Danwon High School in Ansan, outside of Seoul, was a reflection of what many South Koreans have felt since the April 16 sinking that left more than 300 people dead or missing. Of the 325 students on a class trip to the southern holiday island of Jeju, 75 were rescued, 245 died and 5 are still missing. Two of those rescued had already returned to school, officials said.
The return to classes of the survivors, who had been staying at a facility in Ansan where they had classes and therapy sessions, comes amid court hearings for the ferry crew and the officials from the company that owned it. Many South Koreans also fault the government, the coast guard and even society for failing the victims.
"We ask for a thorough investigation to find out why our friends and teachers had to become victims and why the rescue efforts didn't proceed properly and led to more victims," one of the surviving students, Shin Young-jin, said in an emotional address. "We hope that you will try to create a safer nation so that such a horrible accident never happens again."
After decades of negligence, many South Koreans are now questioning the country's history of ignoring safety issues as it pursued rapid economic development above all else following the devastation of the Korean War, which began 64 years ago Wednesday with a North Korean invasion.
The government of President Park Geun-hye, whose dictator father ruled during the economic boom in the 1960s and 1970s that was dubbed the "Miracle on the Han," after the river that cuts through Seoul, has been battered by criticism that it should have done more before the sinking on safety and monitoring issues and that its incompetence botched the rescue operations.
The 15 crew members responsible for navigating the Sewol ferry face charges of negligence for failing to perform their duties to rescue passengers. Prosecutors say they abandoned the ship even though they knew passengers would be trapped and killed when the ferry sank. The defense has denied any collusion, saying the crew members were confused, injured and panicked.
Shin, the student, said that many people have tried to console the surviving students, but others have asked "unpleasant" questions that have reminded them of the sinking and made them feel guilty. He said some people were even "burying daggers in our hearts" by saying that the survivors "betrayed" their classmates by coming back alive. "Whenever we heard such things, our hearts tore apart and ached and we shed tears because we felt guilty and sorry for our friends."
"Just as we cannot forget them, we ask that the citizens of this country also never forget them," Shin said of the dead, stopping at one point as tears choked his words. "For the adults who lead us, we ask that you exhaustively search for those responsible for this crime."

In their own words, landowners and community leaders describe why conservation matters
What do a vintner, conservation commissioner, and tree farmer have in common? They've all partnered with the Southeast Land Trust to permanently conserve critical open spaces and have shared their story through videos just released on the web. The videos speak about land conservation through the voice of local farmer Frank Reinhold of Lee's Flag Hill Winery, community leader Alison Watts of Newfields, and tree farmer Jerry Langdon of Epping. To view a video, just click on the links below!
The Southeast Land Trust works in partnership with communities to conserve significant lands and natural resources. This short video outlines the effort to conserve the 330-acre Piscassic Greenway in Newfields, once slated for a 102-lot subdivision. Alison Watts, Newfields resident and Conservation Commission member, explains how the town benefited from partnering with the Southeast Land Trust. The property was conserved in 2006 by the Town, Southeast Land Trust, and Trust for Public Land, and is now owned by the Southeast Land Trust subject to a conservation easement held by the Town of Newfields.
Land conservation is a voluntary partnership between a landowner and a land trust, community, or government agency. Landowners, citizens, and communities may have similar reasons for protecting special places. Depending on a landowner's goals and the natural resources of the property, there are several methods for long-term conservation, including conservation easements, deed restrictions, or transferring full ownership to the Southeast Land Trust.

A conservation easement is a legally binding agreement between a landowner (the Grantor) and an eligible conservation organization or agency (the Grantee) that permanently restricts future development of a property.Read more: Conservation Easements Explained

Landowner and winery operator Frank Reinhold explains his decision to protect his family land, how he used the proceeds of the easement sale to expand his winery and distillery business, and offers his advice on what landowners considering a conservation easement should think about.
