Helen Gurley Brown, editor of Cosmopolitan magazine for more than three decades, died Monday at the age of 90. Credited with changing the look and content of not just her own magazine but also most women's magazines, she was both revered and reviled as a feminist.
Brown first made a name for herself in 1962 when she published the book "Sex and the Single Girl" in which she encouraged women to be independent both sexually and financially. Later, when she was asked by Hearst to take the helm at the then floundering Cosmopolitan magazine, she continued to deliver that same message. As Margalit Fox wrote in the New York Times, Brown "did not so much revamp the magazine as vamp it." Cosmopolitan was known for featuring voluptuous models on the cover alongside attention-grabbing headlines about sex and what men want. What was seen as clever marketing and daring copy in the 60s, 70s and perhaps 80s, is now criticized as exploitative and harmful as women are constantly bombarded by Photoshopped images of dangerously thin models and an unattainable promise of the perfect body and life.
Brown also created the Cosmo Girl persona – a woman in charge of her life, her beauty, her sexuality, her career. Many women aspired to be that woman as they pursued careers and sexual relationships for the first time. As girls grew up and stopped playing with their Barbie dolls, they picked up Cosmopolitan to learn how to get Barbie's life.
Critics thought the Cosmo Girl concept was contrary to the feminist movement which was gaining traction at the same time the magazine was. Stuart Elliot reported in a 1993 New York Times article, "Still, since the 1970's, complaints about Cosmopolitan and Ms. Brown, who remains editor in chief, have intensified, particularly from feminists who charge that its contents contradict and undermine the goals of the women's movement. They despise the word "girl' and what they contend is the magazine's insistence on cheerfully urging readers to use sex as a tool or a weapon."
Brown had a different perspective. According to the New Yorker's Erin Overbey, Brown once referred to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as a Cosmo Girl and wondered, "How could any woman not be a feminist?" According to Overbey, Brown said, "The girl I'm editing for wants to be known for herself. If that's not a feminist message, I don't know what is."
For every feminist criticism of Brown (she scoffed at Anita Hill's testimony about sexual harassment during Justice Clarence Thomas' appointment hearing), there is an equal amount of praise (she was a supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion rights.)
So was Helen Gurley Brown a feminist? We don't buy into the idea that all things "empowering" are feminist and once wrote, "Female empowerment" has been co-opted by marketers trying to hawk cosmetics, pushup bras and 4 inch heels and by those who profit from scantily clad women dancing on bars. But you know what this female finds empowering? Earning a living, getting a fair wage for my work, supporting women-friendly candidates, and mentoring other women." History can't easily or accurately place Brown in once space or the other. Like most women today, her take on the world was nuanced and imperfect, meeting, dare we say, somewhere at the intersection of feminism and life.
In a 2009 Guardian article Jennifer Scanlon wrote about Brown, "Critics point out that she peddled cleavage on every month's cover of Cosmo, suggested that women should work the system rather than overthrow it, and even saw her offices taken over by protesting feminists. Yet to me Brown deserves a place in the pantheon of 20th-century feminist leaders. She was not just an infamous promoter of women's sexual liberation, she was a working-class woman's role model who declared herself, her magazine and her message feminist."
Ladies, what do you think?

(1) Dynanics. The dynamics of steering a motorcycle have very little in common with the dynamics of steering an automobile. A rider stays balanced by overturning the bar to compensate for turning it too much in the opposite direction. As he does this, the bike's geometry forces the wheel straight. In effect, the rider controls the bike through a nonstop tug-of-war between the steering forces and himself.
(2) Tug of war. A steering damper tones down the tug-of-war so that the rider doesn't have to overreact. It reduces headshake and adds stability by keeping the front tire planted through the corners. Riders almost always prefer the way a bike handles with a steering damper, but often choose not to run one because they never warm up to the feel of resistance when the bars are turned at slow speed.
(3) Drag. Honda's HPSD isn't a pure steering damper. It is more of a metered drag device. It has no damping effect steering right to left for up to five degrees from dead center. After five degrees, the HPSD begins to absorb turning input with moderate damping. The level of damping is never very much, and the 20 clicks of adjustment don't make much of a change in overall drag. The HPSD is designed to completely eliminate drag as the steering reaches full lock.
(4) Valve stack. Honda uses separate valve stacks to dampen steering movement in both directions. The return valve dampens softly in the beginning, as the steering turns back from the full-lock position. It progressively becomes firmer up until it returns to five degrees to either side of center. Then, it completely switches off. There is a bypass circuit, and from a practical point of view the damping is only effective during quick steering motions and swapping.
(5) HPSD weight. The HPSD was tested by the Honda race team for four years before it made it to the production bikes. Honda tucks the damper away behind the front number plate. There are a claimed 15 damping clicks, but most units have around 20. As a rule of thumb, most MXA test riders set the HPSD on the lightest possible setting for the conditions. The HPSD adds 6.9 ounces to the weight of the bike.
(6) Tuna. The most popular bolt-on steering damper is sold by Scotts Performance. While the HPSD looks like a mini shock absorber, the Scotts damper is the size of a can of tuna. It houses an aluminum wiper that sweeps across the oil-filled housing as the bars are turned.
(7) Dual direction. Scotts steering stabilizer (as they prefer to call it) is incredibly adjustable. It can dampen in both steering directions. It can be adjusted to dampen on the return stroke only. It can dampen the forces of turning away from the center line only. And it can dampen in all directions at all times. The Scotts damper can be mounted on top of the triple clamps or on the front fender. It weighs 20 ounces (with mounting bracket).
(8) Position-sensitive. The Scotts damper is position-sensitive. In its most popular setup, it knows where dead center is and in which direction the handlebar is being turned. It dampens when the bar is turned away from the center position. There is no damping turning back towards center. The Scotts damper controls the rider's oversteer while directing the bike down the track.
(9) Base valve. The Scotts damper uses a base valve to adjust the level of resistance when turning away from the center line of the bike. As a rule, MXA test riders set it at eight clicks out. As a backup to the base valve, there is a high-speed valve (with a blow-off system) that flows more oil to ease sudden steering motion. The most common adjustment for the high-speed valve is 1-1/2 turns out.
(10) Sweep. Not only does the Scotts damper turn off the damping nearing full lock like the Honda HPSD, but it also allows the rider to adjust exactly when it free steers. It is called "sweep adjustment." Most MXA test riders set the sweep at 34 degrees of total sweep (which is 17 degrees in either direction). Best of all, with the Scotts damper the damping can be turned off.

Timekeeping insiders know Vianney Halter as one of the most renowned watchmakers in the world. WSJ. Magazine's contributing watch editor Michael Clerizo looks at why the independent watchmaker's first timepiece in six years is the most important launch of 2013.
VIANNEY HALTER, WEARING his customary faded jeans and tight T-shirt, sprawls on a chair in the disheveled office of his factory in the Swiss village of Sainte-Croix. The 50-year-old Frenchman, with lively blue eyes and an accent as thick as a slab of foie gras, is reliving the creation story of his first new watch in six years: Deep Space Tourbillon.
LONE STAR | The Deep Space Tourbillon costs around $190,000 depending on the case metal. Only 100 or so timepieces will be produced. Vianney Halter
Over a career of more than 30 years, Mr. Halter rarely took a vacation and frequently slept only three hours a night. By 2010 his life was paperwork and visiting customers, with little time at the workbench. He was becoming nervous and jumpy, often forgetting what he'd done and who he'd spoken to.
In November 2010, some long-repressed survival mechanism kicked in. He started sleeping 15 hours a night. In January 2011, he laid off 17 of his 20 employees. Bereft of ideas and energy, he thought his watchmaking days were over. (The last original watch he had created had been the Classic Janvier in 2007.) He often stayed home, listened to music, and reread sci-fi classics he had devoured as a teenager.
A DVD store owner in Lausanne told him about the "Star Trek" spinoff series "Deep Space Nine," which Mr. Halter bought and, "like a junkie," watched all 180 episodes. He viewed the original "Star Trek" series again. "I [would] dream about 'Star Trek' and 'Deep Space Nine' because I went to sleep directly after watching an episode."
Watchmaker Vianney Halter La Manufacture Janvier
He often had the same dream: He would encounter beings from another universe and explain to them how he was from planet earth, a place with four dimensions: length, width, depth and time. His new friends, however, wouldn't understand, so in the dream he'd present them with a device to illustrate earth's dimensions. The extraterrestrials would be satisfied, but Mr. Halter, himself, was unable to see the device. "The more I dream, the more I see of this thing," he says. "Finally I understand, it is a watch."
By November 2011, Mr. Halter was hard at work on Deep Space Tourbillon. As the watch progressed, he slept 12 hours a night but continued reading science fiction and watching "Deep Space Nine." "I [had] lost contact with my inspirations in science fiction and that hurt my imagination," he says. "I also understand that I must sleep because dreaming is important for my spirit."
Like a film director hiring a cameraman, Mr. Halter engaged the services of a designer, 37-year-old Swiss Jeremie Senggen, who says: "For Halter anything mechanical contains a universe that he experiences. My job was to translate Halter's experience of the watch he imagined into drawings."
Vianney Halter expects to produce 100 Deep Space Tourbillon, retailing for about 180,000 Swiss francs (€145,000) depending on the case metal.
Halter's Greatest Hits
The Antiqua (1998) Mr. Halter's debut watch has four dials that resemble portholes and are secured to the case with rivets.
The Classic (2001) This watch borrows the robust aesthetic of the Antiqua but features a sleeker, simpler dial.
The Opus 3 (2003) This watch for Harry Winston was inspired by a 1959 post-nuclear-apocalypse film.
At first glance, Deep Space Tourbillon resembles the circular space station of the TV show, "Deep Space Nine," with the outer "docking" ring displaying hours and minutes, and the curved towers having morphed into blue hour and minute hands. The fictional space station's core is round; Mr. Halter's is a roughly rectangular element he calls a cradle, with three moving axis. One axis moves the cradle around the dial like a hand, but it completes the journey in 30 minutes. On the second axis, the cradle rotates (like a rotisserie chicken) every six minutes. The third axis holds a tourbillon, which rotates every 40 seconds—not the standard 60. Mr. Halter says the elements have no time-keeping function: "This watch is the explanation of life on earth. I made the three axes move at speeds that have no place on watches in history. The axes are the three dimensions."
The fourth element, time, is indicated on the outer ring, and surrounds the other three. The notion of all-embracing time is accentuated by a domed crystal, which soars 10 mm above the cradle. (The watch is 19 mm thick and 46 mm in diameter.) "I wanted to make a very basic device that explains the dimensions on earth to everyone in the universe. The three concrete dimensions in the center with time all around. This was in my dream."

Boys Basketball: Marian Catholic tops Notre Dame
By Bill Harrison For Sun-Times Media February 15, 2013 9:52PM
Updated: March 18, 2013 6:51AM
One of the keys to beating Marian Catholic is stopping junior guard Tyler Ulis. That hasn't been an easy task for any team the last few seasons.
As for Notre Dame, the key to stopping the Dons is keeping their best player, Matt Mooney, in check.
Friday night, the Spartans weren't able to control Mooney and the Dons put the clamps on Ulis, but No. 2 Marian Catholic still found a way to win in a 55-50 East Suburban Catholic Conference victory.
Ulis had just two free throws in the first half and was held to 12 points — 11 below his season average. But he made up for his lack of scoring with 10 assists and got a lot of help from his teammates.
"They played physical, bumped me off screens, double-teamed me off screens," Ulis said. "Luckily my teammates stepped up and played hard all game. It was an all-around team performance."
T.J. Parham, who became eligible in late December after transferring from St. Francis de Sales, had 13 points for the Spartans (24-3, 5-2), while Kevin Phillips added 10 off the bench.
Mooney, an Air Force recruit, rallied his team from a 30-25 third-quarter deficit, hitting four three-pointers in the frame — he had five treys on the night — and finished with a game-high 27 points for the Dons (20-5, 5-3). Justin Halloran added 12 points, all on three-pointers.
"They have a good player and we have a good player," Notre Dame coach Tom Les said. "I think we had a couple of opportunities we didn't capitalize on. They found a way to win and good teams do that."
Trailing 44-43 with just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spartans closed the game with a 12-6 run. Ulis had six points during the run, including 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. Parham's open layup with 15 seconds left sealed the deal, accounting for the final score.
The Dons led 15-8 in the first quarter before the Spartans went on a 12-0 run for a 22-20 halftime lead.
"Mooney has his game and Tyler can play any game but they did an awesome job on him," Marian Catholic coach Mike Taylor said. "That was right up there with Bloom; they do a great job on him, too. Tyler played the point guard role and didn't get overly frustrated."

"We have had problems with our laptop twice in the past 6 months,on both occasions we rang and was contacted within an hour. He talked me through what was happening with my laptop and asked if I had tried certain things. On both occasions we had a house visit, the technician arrived both times when he said he would and was very polite and friendly. Whilst trying to fix the problems the technician explained what he was doing in laymen terms so that we could understand as neither of us are computer literate. The technician fixed both problems within an hour and also put in recovery points for if the problem occurred again. Both myself and my husband would happily use them again for all computer problems as we felt very confident in the technicians abilities and comfortable with him being in our home which means a lot to us with a baby.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1965) (DVD)
From a National Catholic Register review
By Steven D. Greydanus
There may be no dethroning the Disney cartoon as the definitive musical retelling of the story of Cinderella in the popular imagination; but for my money Rodgers & Hammerstein's made-for-TV musical is a better take on the timeless fairy tale set in stone by Charles Perrault, and a better introduction to the story for children.
Not only are there no singing mice, the songs by Rodgers & Hammerstein are far superior than the Disney version's unmemorable soundtrack, and do a better job at serving the story. "The Prince is Giving a Ball" dramatizes the significance of the occasion for the whole kingdom, especially its eligible young women, better than anything in the Disney version. "Ten Minutes Ago" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" are far more romantic and catchy than "So This is Love." I even prefer "Fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee and fiddley faddley foddle" to "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo."
The best-known version of R&H's Cinderella, and in some ways the best, is the classic 1965 version starring Lesley Ann Warren — though the long-neglected 1957 original starring Julie Andrews is also well worthwhile.
Both versions feature the same songs, but the scripts differ significantly, and each has its charms. The 1965 version starts slower than the 1957 version, deferring the opening number for an incidental, anonymous initial meeting between Cinderella and Prince Charming (Stuart Damon, "General Hospital" 's Dr. Quartermaine) that gains in resonance as the story progresses, and adds a bit of depth to the fairy tale's love-at-first-sight premise. In this version, when the Prince sings "Ten Minutes Ago," we know (though he doesn't, at least consciously) that their history actually goes back a bit further than that.
Warren, with her wide eyes and long neck, is a bit like a less glamorous Audrey Hepburn, and makes an ideal Cinderella. (Hepburn, of course, played Cinderella figure Eliza Doolittle in the screen version of My Fair Lady — a role originated on Broadway by Julie Andrews, who also played Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella in the original 1957 production.)
Celeste Holm makes a fine Fairy Godmother, and it's lovely to see Ginger Rogers as the Queen, though it makes for a terrible tease when the King (Walter Pidgeon) leads her out onto the ballroom floor for a dance that's merely a stately procession (perhaps the 54-year-old Rogers had no more dancing in her, but either way it's a melancholy moment).
What finally nails the 1965 version's status as the definitive musical Cinderella is its fidelity to the climax of Perrault's tale, altered both in the Disney version (cleverly) and in the 1957 version (misguidedly). We all know how the story is supposed to end, with the herald stopping at Cinderella's house on his way all over the kingdom, trying the glass slipper on Cinderella's stepsisters and almost missing Cinderella herself before discovering that she's a perfect fit. We know that's how it goes — but this is the version that actually goes that way.

Race Baiters INCLUDING OBAMA Have Painted Themselves Into a Corner
Will we march for Zimmerman? Probably not.
Should we? We probably should, because as more and more info leaks out that shows that the police acted smartly, the race hucksters are going to counter with rioting.

The Jewish Latino is screwed by the media-led public court of opinion.Noteworthy Comment +20
Ironically, if his name was Martinez or Gonzales or Lopez, this wouldn't even be a blip on the radar. Wouldn't want to upset the Hispanic voting block now, would we?Noteworthy Comment +31
If he broke no laws I will march for him.Noteworthy Comment +16
He said She said. Potayto Potahto. Truth matters not. Let the rioting begin. Let the race baiters pontificate Let the mainstream media spin. The truth will never be heard, over the din.Noteworthy Comment +14
So, George Holliday videos white police officers beating a black man with their batons and we are told to accept it as racism. But when a black man attacks a Latino neighborhood watch captain and the Latino man defends himself by shooting his attacker, the witness that saw it all is lying and we shouldn't believe him because it's not racism anyway.
Yeah. That makes sense because since Obama got elected, racism is practically non-existent.*
*if you are the black person committing the racismNoteworthy Comment +20
It won't matter if there's audio and/or video of the incident. The grievance mongers won't be happy till Mr. Zimmerman has been sacrificed on the altar of perceived injustice.
Don't think the Hispanics in FL don't know what's going on. I think this is going to spectacularly backfire on the pResident of the United States.
There are plenty of "white" latinos in the public eye, the most prominent being Bill Richards and Gerry Rivers. Can't wait to hear the crickets from them.Noteworthy Comment +23
The Rent-a-Riot crowd of Jackson/Sharpton have already tried and convicted Mr. Zimmerman. I wonder why Trevon Martin was suspended from his high school, located 250 miles from the neighborhood of his death. I wonder why Martin's Facebook Photos of his Gangster pose aren't shown, just the angelic face of a 9 year old. I wonder why only a few media articles of Martin's father stating that the voice on the 911 call pleading for help wasn't that of his son. The left needs this martyr Trevon Martin, it needs to shield the failures of the Obama Regime's race relations.Noteworthy Comment +30
Gee… I wonder why the MSM never made a big deal out of this case. Watch the video too… It's priceless…
I have to say folks, I am angry. I just deleted my facebook account because I am so sick of idiots out there.
I posted this and immediately I get hit with two of my friends who slap me upside the head with assholish comments about how Zimmerman was a murderer and now people are trying to cover it up.
They got what they wanted, a damn martyr to use as an excuse to bitch and moan about and if Sharpton, Jackson and the Black Panthers don't stop it they'll have riots too. Never mind not a single person who is throwing a fit has read the police report.
I have deleted my facebook account. I'm sick of being nice to libs who are assholes to me.Noteworthy Comment +29
We have to pray for Truth to prevail – before Zimmerman is hung and before the riots begin.
Hopefully, the devil, with his sycophants, the race baiters, are overplaying their hand.Noteworthy Comment +17
@ Houston
Amen my friend.AmenNoteworthy Comment +13
Remember the Duke Lacross case? Sharpton did that one too…seems he is a regular failure at getting this stuff right. He did start his career with Tiwana Brawley (sp) didn't he?Noteworthy Comment +21
Blacks, particularly, have to be OWNED by the left to further their agenda. I think BOob has tipped his hand that the Latinos are not so necessary. Watch that assplode in his face.Noteworthy Comment +13
The spawn of Sharpton/Jackson
For those who remember the summer of '68 — I'm afraid we're headed into "you ain't seen nothin' yet".Noteworthy Comment +14
The Dem-Cong love to dance in the blood of victims. This incident should remind all CHL holders the truely awesome responsibility we take on when we choose to be armed.
No matter how justified Zimmerman may have been, he has landed in a vast tube of $hit. This is a lesson that will be used in CHL classes for years to come.+7
The news even slanted the story of the new witness. She says this adds another layer of confusion. Uh, no. How about it adds to the clarity of what happened.They still show outdated photos of the kid, and had Zimmermans' face up in a mugshot kind of picture the as much as possible Of course they have to finish with the initial report saying it was manslaughter.Noteworthy Comment +12
I could care less about a local matter for FL officials, but if the race-baiters want a riot, they'd better be prepared to wear their asses for hats.
LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS in America, have had ENOUGH. Paint them in a corner, and they'll paint BACK… with LEAD…+8
I hope Zimmerman isn't lynched over this or that he gets railroaded into a false conviction to appease the masses.+8
So essentially people are marching because they want violent black teens to be safe while committing battery against non-blacks. And, as usual, our elegant, unifying president chooses to side with the black man before he gets his facts straight.Noteworthy Comment +14
Effing racial arsonists. 10K bounty, dead or a live. That's Obama's post-racial America alright.+7
And where is the black community speaking out against this type of behavior from their own?
Rascist black Americans (with their leader, obama) will either blow this all out of proportion as the msm distorts and feeds their sickness, or the story will die within a week. I wish I had a job oportunity to offer to Mr. Zimmerman so he could leave that area. I wouldn't mind a neighborhood watch captain like him around my neck of the woods.+7
America's One-Sided Race Card
Careful not to pull a boner as he did when he condemned Cambridge cop Joe Crowley in 2009 without a scintilla of evidence, President Barack Hussein Obama has weighed in on the tragic Sanford, Florida killing of 17 year old Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman.
The president, playing the race card for his black base as he did in the Cambridge affair, said, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" and demanded exhaustive Sanford, Florida, and federal investigations into the case.
He declared that "some soul searching" was needed throughout the country but made no reference to why the president of the United States is involving himself in a local matter. As with Sandra Fluke and the female vote, Obama figured he could make points with his African-American constituency by telling them what his son would look like.
Despite the fact that details are still evolving on the incident, America's leftists quickly and mindlessly sprang to a verdict of racially-inspired murder and blamed everyone from Zimmerman, who reportedly has a number of African-Americans and Latinos in his family, to Rush Limbaugh, Jeb Bush, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, George Romney, and virtually every white person in America.
At least they didn't blame Sandra Fluke.
Professional race-mongers Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton also galloped to the Sunshine State to spread their hateful bile and called for revenge and retribution. It wasn't clear whom they blamed but presumably it was repressive and murderous white society as well as Zimmerman.
The racist New Black Panther Party didn't want to be left out and so circulated a poster reading, "Murdered in Cold Blood, Child Killer of Trayvon Martin, WANTED DEAD or ALIVE."
Accused gunman Zimmerman hasn't been arrested due to lack of concrete evidence in the case and his claim of killing Martin in self-defense after being attacked, a claim substantiated by witnesses, and various Sanford officials have stepped aside to insure a fair and just inquiry.
No one would question the necessity of a full and thorough investigation into Martin's death, except perhaps for Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the New Black Panther Party and other racists who have rushed to judgment in order to stir the racial pot, create discord, garner donations, and grab headlines.
There may be a national need for Obama's "soul searching" just as there was a need for a "new gentility" as preached by the president following the Tucson shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords and which never came to fruition thanks to relentless incivility from liberals.
However, there's an equally-pressing necessity for objective crime reporting by the mainstream media with respect to black crime in America, a crying need that has frequently been addressed on this blogsite and admitted by some members of the MSM.
See "More Riotous Times in Obamaland," http://bit.ly/p9gIJM.
The rabble-rousing Farrakhan threatened violent retaliation . . .

Berlet98. Brilliant acessment. Thank you.+5
Since Obama declared if he had a son he would look like Trayvonn, would his son also marry a woman with a lazy eye, a penchant for tamales, and a fat ass?+6

P.S. The address that Spike Jones gave out as Zimmerman's is not his, but it is a real one. Other people have gone so far as to post/pose as GZ with that information.
If anything happens to that property or people there, I hope SJ has deep pocket.s+3
Gah. Lee, not Jones.0
Need to rally the Latino's if there's a race riot. Zimmerman is more Latino than Caucasian.0
Was Trayvon Martin a drug dealer?0
Chill…. Twice legal limit intoxicated, speeding in excess of 100 mph, and on parole for assault Rodney King became an LA motorist.+1

Within every household, services such as Internet and television exist as a means of providing comfort and enhancing day to day tasks. There are a number of providers in the market who will advertise packages that are very attractive but a lot of factors come into play when trying to assess the best TV Internet bundles available.Although there are a number of providers who will boast to having the best TV Internet bundle, the "best" for each consumer will be predominantly dependent on their uses and their desires of the respective services. The download and upload speeds offered as well as the number of channels and television packages (movie, sports etc.) are integral not only from the perspective of the consumer but also the provider's as well. This is due to the fact that they make an effort to remain relevant and competitive in the market so they have to always put their "best foot forward". Even if they are tempted to increase their prices the low cost offered by another would serve as a major deterrent.
While for some the best is decided by their uses, for others the top internet and tv bundles would be dependent on the equipment and technology being used to deliver the service. Analyzing the web connectivity for instance, consumers have the choice to select one of the four broadband selections that are available on the market all of which are used to provide a high speed delivery. These types are cable, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), satellite and fiber optics.
In terms of popularity, cable presents itself as the most prominent since it capitalizes on the coaxial wires used to transfer data signals for television viewing. Beyond its fame it is still considered to be one of the most efficient choices. DSL employs the copper wires used for telephone delivery with the technology allowing for usage of the landline simultaneous with providing web connectivity. This is a comfort that many homeowners were thrilled about when it emerged and they are still delighted by it years on.
Many consumers may not be aware, but the service combo can also be provided through the satellite technology. Emerging initially as a means of delivering TV channels to those living in remote areas, the provider of the mechanism saw the value in utilizing it to deliver other essential services. As a result of this idea, Internet capabilities were introduced. Without the possibility of cable or DSL, this is the best but they only option for those residing in these locations. Fiber optics is the latest type available to consumers in a commercial space. It uses mirror-like optical fibers to transmit the signals thus the frequencies are almost always pure. Notably it costs more than the others but for some the value is worth the "best" quality they believe it provides.
Over the past five to ten years the desire to have Internet and TV bundles has grown rapidly. One of the defining causes of such a development is the cost-saving feature it facilitates. It has been stated on many occasions that the concept of a "bundle" was a marketing strategy instituted by service companies for their benefit as a means of attracting and retaining more customers. While this is true and has worked like a charm from their point of view, users of the service would readily argue that they got the better bargain as the prospect to obtain two or more essential services at a collectively cheaper cost is a much-loved luxury.
In addition to the reduced cost, the convenience consumer's experience when having TV Internet bundles is also worth mentioning. Instead of running around in an effort to acquire these services individually, they have everything accessible to them from one source. This works greatly in the area of accountability and hardware/software complications as well. A solution to a problem or problems can be retrieved with less hassle and less time if there is one technician or agent providing the assistance versus calling multiple customer care centers.
Your individual needs may vary but you would be pleased to know that the best TV Internet bundles exist on the market. Enhanced television viewing and web connectivity would be experienced on a daily basis regardless of your type of connection. With competition being so pronounced between the companies operating in the industry you are sure to be exposed to a high-quality product from which provider you decide to settle with.

Contact: Raanan Weintraub, (202) 387-2800
WASHINGTON May 5, 2000 —In response to President Clinton's speech before teachers and students at our nation's first charter school, City Academy in St. Paul, Minnesota, Mark J. Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, released the following statement:
Today, in observance of National Charter School Week, President Clinton spoke before students and teachers at the nation's first charter school, City Academy in St. Paul, Minnesota. Since City Academy opened its doors in 1992, nearly 1,700 charter schools -- created by parents and teachers, and operating under exemptions from most state laws that regulate public and private educational institutions -- have opened around the country, serving some 433,000 children in 36 states and the District of Columbia. (In contrast, the traditional public schools serve 47 million children.)
Although there is no small amount of confusion about the charter school movement, and about the precise nature of these new schools, as the President made clear today these schools are, at root, public schools. As such, as he emphasized, they must be accountable. Today, virtually every state with a charter program is grappling with issues of accountability: if schools are not accountable to particular geographically-designed oversight entities, then who will determine to whom the school is accountable? Which school board? Which parents? Which neighborhood associations?
Accountability, however, must go beyond measurements of student performance and the assignment of oversight to a specific local or state authority; the charter school movement must remain accountable to the Constitution and to our bedrock national values. We need concerted effort by federal, state, and local authorities, in cooperation with parents, teachers and community leaders, to clarify the unique freedoms that make charter schools special, and the constitutional restrictions that apply to all schools accepting public money. As we find new and innovative ways to reform our educational system, we must not abandon fundamental constitutional principles. Enthusiasm for the potential of charter schools should not blind us to those who would use this new model as a back-door mechanism to channel public funds to private and parochial schools.
So while we join with the President in acknowledging the promise of charter schools around the country, we are particularly concerned by the President's encouragement of charter school partnership with religious organizations. As the President must recognize, charter school partnerships with businesses differ in not just in degree but in kind from partnerships with sectarian institutions. Given the wide-spread uncertainly on this score, we commend the President's call for guidelines on religious-educational school cooperation, and we hope and trust that the Department of Education's guidelines will provide new strength to both educational innovation and bedrock constitutional principles. Since charter schools face less daily oversight than do traditional public schools, the guidelines for charter schools need to be explicit and precise in their protection of our First Freedom.
Spelling out what charter schools can and can not do, and working within the parameters so ingeniously designed by our nation's framers, we can make significant progress toward the signal goal of creating better schools and a stronger America.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, representing its 895 congregations across North America, whose membership includes 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the 1700 rabbis of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.

Matthew Tebbutt
As well as heading up the team in The Foxhunter kitchens, Matt is currently presenting Food Unwrapped on Channel 4 and is once again championing forgotten foods on Great British Food Revival on BBC2. Matt co-presented Market Kitchen with Tom Parker-Bowles and Matthew Fort and is the guest presenter of Saturday Kitchen.
Matt's first solo cookbook, featuring all his favourite recipes, Matt Tebbutt Cooks Country, is still available. Meanwhile he is working on his new offering 'Guilty Pleasures'.
The restaurant and some of Matt's recipes are also featured in 'The Gastropub Cookbook' by Daily Telegraph food-writer Diana Henry and the recently published Best of British Fish by Hattie Ellis. These books are available to buy at The Foxhunter, along with the Great British Menu cookbook from the latest series.
Having completed a diploma course in London with Leiths School of Food & Wine, Matt Tebbutt set his sights on some of the best restaurants in the UK, with a view to acquiring the breadth of experience that would set him up to run his own successful restaurant.
A true baptism of fire followed in the form of a traineeship with renowned Michelin starred chef, Marco Pierre White, working at The Oak Room and then The Criterion. Matt later moved to the kitchens of Chez Bruce, working under the tutelage of Bruce Poole, master of classic French food and leading advocate of affordable excellence.
Working at Clarke's, Sally Clarke's Kensington restaurant, Matt was exposed to the art of bread making at one of the most skilled bakeries in the UK.
One of his strongest influences, clearly evident in the Foxhunter menu is Alastair Little, pioneer of the non-stuffy, high-quality eatery and renowned for revolutionary freshness and flavour. Matt worked with Alastair at his Lancaster Road and Soho restaurants, celebrated for its no-nonsense British cooking, with a Northern Italian twist.
Matt is a passionate exponent of Modern British cooking, using only the freshest, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients within honest recipes designed to highlight those ingredients.

A Chick Who Can't Cook… Deal Breaker For Men?
Posted by By Chazeen at 23 November, at 13 : 21 PM Print
Every Thanksgiving, we all look forward to the same thing… FOOD! hmm… Can you hear the true foodie in me? They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach but what if she can't cook?
Most recently, I feel like I've been meeting a lot of men that can cook… actually they're amazing cooks… love you men! I've also met a lot of women that can't cook or if they can cook, it's the basics. In the past it's only been necessary for one person to be able to cook in the relationship but if that one person is the man, would our men have a problem with that? Is it a deal breaker?
There was a recent trending topic on Twitter called: #WomenWhoDontCook . Check out what the men had to say and peep my advice below chicas
@LivinDaStarlife #WomenWhoDontCook wonder why their (sic) single. Ask your stove.
MrRelationships #WomenWhoDontCook need not to have all these high demands from men.
KingJ323 All of the hot chicks I ever dated fall in the category of #WomenWhoDontCook I taught all of my exes how to cook actually SMH
Country788: #WomenWhoDontCook Are lazy lol
@BrianM A man that know how to cook is never scared to teach his girl how to. Through learning from her man, she'll cook exactly how he likes to eat.
Hmm… If they feel this strongly about it then we've def. got to find a solution ladies. My personal advice:
I liked BrianM's suggestion. I say be honest with your date and tell him that you don't know how to cook. If he knows how to cook, ask him to teach you…cook the thanksgiving meal together. At least he knows that you have a genuine interest in learning… meaning that he can't deem you as "lazy." Best part is… if you're a foodie like me, you get to try all his recipes in the meantime… I'm like salivating as I type. Let me go find myself a man who can cook.lol
Check out what our facebook fans had to say here on our poll: A woman who can't cook… Deal Breaker? Add your 2 cents and be sure to like us
Last Question… What about a man who can't cook? Deal Breaker Ladies? hmm…. yes… it goes both ways. See what our women had to say here.

Last month in New York, Usher starred in the the off-Broadway show "Fuerza Bruta" as the show's Running Man and it turns out this is the inspiration for the new video!

Stars "Cool Off" At President Clinton's Weekend Long 65th Birthday Celebration!
It may feel like the end of Summer in most places in the country, but in sunny Los Angeles, things are still H-O-T! And this past weekend was no exception — especially having the former President of the US-of-A, Bill Clinton, in town!
Bill had a heck of a lot to celebrate: not only was it the 10th Anniversary of The Clinton Foundation, but, it was also his 65th birthday party!! (Cue, "Happy Birthday, Mister President…")
The festivities went all weekend long but the "peak-of-the-week…end" was the Clinton Foundation "Decade of Difference" concert at the Hollywood Bowl. With outrageous performances by Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, U2′s Bono, Usher, K'Naan, and Kenny Chesney, and appearances by Ashton Kutcher, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DiRossi, Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda, Jason Segel, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and so many more, this was a fitting celebration for one of the most celebrated Presidents of our generation!
Millions of people, who were not in attendance, were able to watch the concert, live, streaming exclusively on Yahoo! (Ah, the future!)
Throughout the weekend, MJ was "on the scene" getting all the scoop, from scorching "hot" moments like Lady Gaga changing her hit song "Bad Romance" to "Bill Romance" — to super "cool" moments like Jane Fonda and Bonnie Rait posing for a pic together while indulging in premium Magnum Ice Cream bars, well into the night at the official after party.

Lady Gaga, U2′s Bono and the Edge, Usher, and just-announced Kenny Chesney, K'naan and Columbian superstar Juanes, are the first crop of artists slated to help ring in the 10th anniversary of former President Clinton's foundation with a concert.
(Pssssst! It also happens to be Bill's 65th Birthday! Can you say "Happy Birthday, Mister President?" Hope Gaga does the honors!)
"A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation" will take place next Saturday night, Oct. 15, at the Hollywood Bowl. If you can't make it, lucky for you — you can catch a live-feed of the show on Yahoo!
The event is said to be gathering "the most influential and socially responsible artists in music, film, and television."
"In the past decade, commitments to my Clinton Global Initiative have improved the lives of more than 300 million people around the world," Clinton said in a statement. "We've lowered the cost of AIDS and HIV treatment, combated climate change, strengthened economies, increased access to education and healthcare, provided financing and mentoring for small businesses. This celebration marks ten years of these efforts and demonstrates how much we can do to make a difference in the years ahead."
Micah Jesse will be in the house (backstage, on the red carpet & inside the show) live-Tweeting all the star-studded action, so be sure to follow along in real time on Twitter @MicahJesse!Read More

Also, I do not leak like I've read about. Even after several hours, I only leak a few drops, nothing a breast pad can't handle. I barely need to change them. I know that Danny is getting enough because he is gaining weight like a champ! My pediatrician is impressed... And I get him weighed often. Also, I can feel my breasts empty out. But because all the other ladies on my EC board always talk about their milk spraying out, etc, I feel that perhaps I have a faulty let down, and that is why Danny has to gum my breast so hard?
On another note, after I feed Danny, I often feel a dull ache in my breasts... almost like the milk replenishing itself... It kind of hurts too, particularly at night. Massage does not help. Does anyone else ever feel this? I never heard of this... I
I just want nursing to be the joyful experience I thought it would be... any advice is appreciated.

As for the leaking? I leaked a lot with ds (and actually had supply problems) but with my 10wk old dd I never leak, even when engorged. I think it is dependent on the person and the baby. One of my LLL leaders had to use full cloth diapers with one of hers and didn't leak with the other.
I can't help you as to the clamping down and causing pain. But I don't think that if he were regularly clamping down that he would be able to nurse effectively and be gaining that much (but I'm no expert). Perhaps the thrush is causing the pain? Can you see an IBCLC? They can help you check the latch and decide whether that or thrush or something else may be the cause of your pain. Let me tell you, after nursing my ds for 30 months I can say that nursing should never cause "pain." I never had pain. I might have had discomfort from "tired" breasts and engorgement. With dd we have thrush and it has certainly caused pain!
|Fri, 03-28-2003 - 9:22am
My is DD 4.5 wks and it is still painful for her to latch on at first. I remember this with DS, too. It will get better. And, I have that achy feeling after bfing.
Don't realy have much advice, just want to let you know that what you describe sounds normal to me.
|Fri, 03-28-2003 - 11:59am
As far as leaking goes, a lacatation consultant told me that leaking has nothing to do with how much milk you do or don't have, but has to do with the muscles in your breast/nipple area, I guess some women's muscles aren't as strong, that's why they have more leaking.
Good luck!
|Sat, 03-29-2003 - 3:24am
If you do this, try to express and feed a bottle for 2 or 3 feedings to give your nipples a rest while they heal. The Polysporin should be wiped off before nursing (or pumping), and re-applied after.
As far as leaking or not, and whether you spray or drip, I don't think it matters. My supply is wonderful, and I only drip when I have a letdown. It's a fast drip, but certainly not a spray. And, like the other replies here, some people don't leak at all.

Coolest Web Kid of the Year -- 2010 Urlies
- topic:
- 2010 Urlies
If anything can come close to the popularity of cats and dogs on the web, it's kids. This year's crop ranges from YouTube sensations to IRL celebrities gone viral, and they've all got their unique charms. Dancing, singing or, um, shouting their way into our hearts, these are your nominees for Coolest Web Kid of the Year.
Daily Affirmation Jessica
If this were a contest for "Most Uplifting Web Kid of the Year," Jessica and her Daily Affirmation would win by a landslide. She can do anything good! She likes anything! She likes her hair! Who wouldn't feel better about life after seeing a cute four-year-old acting so upbeat? Although the video was taken years ago, it didn't hit the internet until 2010, so it totally counts. Plus, this was the year we got the inside story from Jessica herself (she's now 13).
Greyson Chance
Greyson Chance has had a huge year. At age 12, he got a lot of buzz as a potential heir to Justin Bieber when his piano cover of Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi' (an Urlies Video of the Year nominee) went viral. He hit the Ellen Show, turned 13, landed a record deal and the rest is history. Greyson's first single, 'Waiting Outside the Lines' dropped in October. His shaggy Bieber-esque hair has been trimmed back a bit, too, perhaps to indicate that he's now a teenybopper pop star in his own right. See extensive Greyson news on PopEater.
Mini Daddy
Back in January, Urlbot Eliot declared "Mini Daddy is LIFE." You might agree after seeing this little reggaeton star's video for his song "El Niño Mas Bonito." Mini Daddy sports Yankees caps and Aeropostale with a swagger appropriate to someone three times his age. And what is UP with those backup dancers? Anyway, the main thing to know about Mini Daddy is that he wears grown-up street clothes and raps in Spanish about being the cutest and tiniest kid.
Samba BabyDancing babies are a long and proud internet tradition, and Samba Baby (aka Bebê Dançarino) is this year's model. This Brazilian super-kid's bold costume choice (nude, except for a diaper) and his way-too-sexy moves may make him controversial, but we can all agree that he could easily grow up to dominate the dance world. All he needs is a beat.
Willow Smith
Will Smith's daughter, Willow, could grow up to be as big in the music world as her famous dad. Her first single, 'Whip My Hair' (don't pretend you don't know it!) is only a couple of months old, and it's already a classic. What makes Willow a web kid, though? It's the insane remixes and memes, the Sesame Street mashup and the video of a parrot dancing to the song. There's no denying it: the web is in love with whipping some parody back and forth, and Willow's song was one of the most fun targets this year.
Honorable Mention: Stolen Backpack Boy

By KeepingYouAwake
I voted for Greyson Chance because, while the other kids are fun to watch, he has a real talent and he's using it. That's awesome and I can't wait to see what he does with it as he gets older.
By dok
I voted for Jessica, because if everyone was just like her the world would have been a much better place to live in.
By Jay
I voted for Samba Baby because I am a huge dancing fan and I found his skills pretty on point at such a young age ! I hope that he will grow up to be a HUGE dancer !
By kate
Greyson Chance all the way! I got to meet him at an event for Walmart a few months ago, and he was just so adorbs and happy and nice and polite to all the moms and he melted my Grinch heart. Greyson 4eva.
On a slightly related note, I would love to see a Greyson Chance "Whip My Hair" cover.
By shadowsrider
I voted for Jessica, go for the positive!
By Lindsey
Sure he's an underdog, but I voted for Mini Daddy because his web celebrities crossed all boundaries. He is truly an international viral phenomenon. And his follow up interview (where Josh H. went to find him in Mexico!) was simply adorable!
By daffodil
Samba Baby, for his fluidity of movement. The kid wiggles like he has no bones.
By Summer
I'd have to say Daily Affirmation Jessica is my favorite of the year. All her fame is on the internet, which is what this is all about.
By lesakt
Samba Baby makes me laugh every time I watch! Gotta love his sweet moves!
By kdub
Greyson gets my vote, it's rare to see a kid that age that isn't self-conscious about doing something he so obviously loves, but might be considered a bit odd - a boy singing his own version of a Lady Gaga tune is creative but a little out there! While other kids try to all look the same and act the same and not stand out, he took a chance and now is reaping the rewards.
By CorinneCan
I voted for Jessica - she is adorable and sends a great message - maybe we should all do that and stay positive
By Andrea Skouras
I voted for greyson chance because he's really talented and charismatic
By Arthur
I voted for Daily Affirmation Jessica, because she was the only remotely interesting one.
By Babyhellfire
I voted for Samba Baby- everyone and their mom sent me that vid- It is soo cute.
By Chris
I voted for Jessica, because even though I first watched this video months ago, I still think of hey every time I get ready for my boring job in the bathroom mirror.

The San Francisco Giants have had their share of hitting woes over the past month, so it should come as no surprise that fans of the World Series champs have been quick to gnash their teeth over the lineup card announcements. "Why isn't Miguel Tejada batting tenth" or "Is it that hard to find a replacement for Buster Posey" have become consistent refrains on the streets and computers of San Francisco.
Well, tonight's lineup should provide a fresh new team that even Giants fans can embrace.
