TruFocals eyeglasses feature adjustable focus
TruFocals can be instantly focused by the user, thanks to flexible lenses
Article Summary
If you wear bifocal or even trifocal eyeglasses, then you will know what a hassle it can be having to tilt your head up to see things that are nearby. The areas of image softness or distortion can also be distracting, and even cause nausea or headaches in some users. Using multiple pairs of single-vision glasses gets you around these problems, but introduces the problem of... well, of carrying around and using multiple pairs of glasses. TruFocals, however, allow users to wear one pair of glasses for near-, far- and mid-vision, without having different focal areas within the same lens at the same time. Instead, users actually focus the glasses by hand, not unlike a pair of binoculars.

TravelSmith Leather RFID-Blocking Thinfold Wallet
I like this wallet. Was looking for a new wallet with security protection and a slim profile. This fits both of criteria.
December 25, 2014
RFID-Blocking Thinfold Wallet
Absolutely love it! Thin and secure. Completely adequate
to hold credit cards, drivers license, etc. but still remains
slim and thin. I chose the black leather and it is soft and
great quality.
November 21, 2014
Didn't suit my needs
I looked it over and didn't care for the structure and quality
November 19, 2014
Feeling safer
We were among those who were impacted by the Target security breach and it really got us thinking about credit card security, especially because we travel to Europe regularly to visit our daughter. She had her debit card number stolen and that same day the thief would have emptied her account if not for the intervention of our bank. I've bought the Pacsafe wallet and purses for myself, and I bought this for my husband to replace his insecure wallet. He was able to get everything in this wallet that resembles the one he replaced. Now, with all our RFID blocking wallets and purses, we feel a lot more secure not only when traveling, but on a day to day basis.
January 16, 2014
Accomplished My Needs
Perfect size and required me to reduce the contents of my previous wallet.
July 3, 2014
Time will tell
This appears to be a quality wallet. Its only problem is that there is limited room for credit cards and the other miscellany my husband feels he must carry. Time will tell whether this wallet really holds up. Other wallets for which I've paid a similar amount of money have ripped with less than a year of use. So by next Christmas, I can give this purchase five stars -- if it holds up!
January 10, 2014
Good wallet
Can't say that it protected us, but no data was stolen that I can tell. My husband loved the wallet.

While Gmail is a great web mail service, the way it treats attachments might confuse some people.
In Gmail, you can't send executable files (.exe, .cmd) or ZIP archives that contain executables. To bypass this limitation, you need to rename the file and change its extension (don't forget to mention this to the person that receives your mail).
Although Google says you can't send attachments larger than 10 MB, Gmail is quite forgiving and lets you send files up to 13-14 MB, so you don't have to worry about size. [Update (May 2007): Gmail has increased the maximum attachment size to 20 MB. ] If you need to send bigger attachments or you send your files to a lot of people, consider uploading them to a file hosting site (like DivShare, mihd or QuickSharing) and including the URL in the mail. For documents that require collaboration and reviews, Google Docs is a good solution, while Picasa Web and Google Video are better options if you need to share photos and videos.
It's a good idea to select the files you want to attach before writing your email, because Gmail starts to upload them immediately, saving you precious time. If you want to be reminded to attach a file if you talk about attachments in your email, this Greasemonkey script is fairly good. To upload the files using drag and drop, install this Firefox extension.
Now that you sent your message, you may wonder how to retrieve it in the future. To search for emails that contain attachments, use: has:attachment. If you know some words from the title of an attachment or its extension, add them: has:attachment filename:pdf or has:attachment filename:author filename:review. Unfortunately, the only searchable attachments are text files, so you may want to upload a plain text version of your documents if you need to search their content later.
Google offers you the option to view online a lot of file types: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint files, PDF, RTF and even edit Word and Excel files using Google Docs. This is a simple way to convert all these file types to HTML. You can also listen to MP3 files directly from Gmail.
While Gmail offers plenty of space (almost 3 GB), it's not a very good idea to use it for storing files. There are tools that make it easy to upload files to Gmail (the most well-known are the Firefox extension Gspace and the Windows application Gmail Drive), but Gmail was not created for this purpose, so they're just clever hacks. If you upload too many files, Google could even lock your account for 24 hours.

Great news indeed! Such a shame that Intel was of no help at all. Unless Intel steps up to the plate and at least maintains/updates the Poulsbo driver, it will eventually fall behind and into disrepair.
Phoronix: Intel Poulsbo Driver For Fedora 11
The Intel Poulsbo Linux driver is a bloody mess, it's that simple. Unlike the main Intel Linux graphics stack, the one that supports the Poulsbo chip found on many Intel Atom-powered devices, is closed-source...
Great news indeed! Such a shame that Intel was of no help at all. Unless Intel steps up to the plate and at least maintains/updates the Poulsbo driver, it will eventually fall behind and into disrepair.
Would that be so bad? It would probably need a rewrite (and be opensourced) anyway if it was to be integrated to the rest of the Intel opensource display driver infrastucture.
How is the quality of IEGD (intel embedded graphics drivers) for Linux on Poulsbo?
It is supposed to feature:
. OpenGL 2.0
. MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264 and VC-1 via VA-API
according to
I used IEGD drivers back at times of the 855GM notebook chipset (= completely different). Though it's painful to configure/install these, they provided me some features other drivers didn't so I was kind of happy.
The Ubuntu-sourced driver has the same features, and is somewhat newer. I have never worked up the energy to try IEGD given that it comes in a 100MB+ _Windows executable_ (guh), but I don't think it provides any features the Ubuntu-sourced driver doesn't.
So Poulsbo users are okay for now with Fedora 11, but once Fedora 12 comes out they will be SOL because there are going to be no updated drivers for Ubuntu 9.10. Is that correct?
No one knows 100% (the Ubuntu statement on the issue is rather more ambiguous than it was reported as being), but that's the most likely outcome at present, yeah.
It's possible we may be able to hack up 2D support for F12 by patching the kernel and X driver components, but 3D and video playback acceleration wouldn't work unless Intel / Canonical provide an updated package for the proprietary X lumps. The situation's a bit complicated, also, by the fact that Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10 may not use the same X server (may wind up with F12 on X server 1.7, but Ubuntu still on 1.6).
I may wind up having to forward port X server 1.6 to Fedora 12...

Just your average volcano walking, cloudforest ogling, Amazon hiking, Galapagos sailing destination. Just your average volcano walking, cloudforest ogling, Amazon hiking, Galapagos sailing destination. For such a small country, Ecuador certainly packs an awful lot in. There is nowhere else that you can see rich colonial heritage, walk in beautiful mountain wilderness, wander through bustling indigenous markets and experience life in an Amazon community before being bundled out of the way by an advancing giant tortoise. Ecuador wraps all of this incredible diversity in a layer unaffected South American charm. [More +]
Beautiful cloudforest birds, timeless Andean highlands. Hot springs and snowcapped volcanoes. This in-depth journey through Ecuador's diverse landscapes includes a stay with a remote Amazon community.
From the pulsing life of the Amazon to the misty cloudforest and beyond to the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, megadiverse Ecuador brings you closer to nature.
This extremely varied holiday is a sweep down through the dramatic snow-capped volcanoes and crater lakes of the Avenue of the Volcanoes from Quito to Cuenca combined with time to swim, hike and snorkel amongst the fearless wildlife of the Galapagos.
Landscapes, ecosystems and communities come together in this fascinating, fun and sometimes challenging journey through Ecuador's Amazon and the Galapagos Islands.
Snorkel with manta rays, summit a volcano, ride bikes downhill to a sea lion filled beach or simply enjoy a relaxed beachside meal on your guided exploration of the Galapagos Islands, staying on three different islands.

Council considers reverting appeal process
City officials are second-guessing a past decision to limit protests of conditional-use permits. Conditional- or special-use permits in Dell Rapids are issued to property owners by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Any appeals — by the applicant or the general public — are heard by the city council where a final decision is made. "The people, the neighbors, have no say. Zero," alderman Mark Crisp said at a meeting in February. "We make the decision. And if we decide, it's a done deal. There's nothing they can do about it." He said neighboring property owners should have more sway when a conditional-use permit is appealed, like they did before the city zoning ordinances were updated in 2011. Dell Rapids City Administrator Justin Weiland said the zoning codes were revised for efficiency purposes. "We wanted to streamline it," he said last week. "We didn't want to drag out conditional-uses. Just to streamline the process, the planning commission makes the decision. Applicants or anyone else has the ability to appeal the decision to the city council." The council is expected to decide at its next meeting whether to revert back to the old policy and adopt an ordinance to establish a second level of appeal for conditional-use permits. Under proposed ordinance 794, if 40 percent of property owners within 250 feet of the lot up for a conditional-use permit oppose a council or planning and zoning commission decision, the permit is to be denied. The council ultimately could override the neighborhood protest with a two-thirds majority vote.

Comments On Sep 10, 2012:What can you say? they're socks, better than standard cotton. Also nice once you kick your boots off letting feet breath and dry. Only minor thing is there's not designated left and right foot Moose insignia is on the right side for both feet. of course this doesn't effect the functionality. And for those of you who ride in shorts the orange top above the boot line is a nice touch to show off more color if that's your thing.

I may be the last person — especially the last person of faith — who hasn't read "Heaven is for Real" but I'm considering it after watching this trailer.
Judge me if you want but I've avoided the book because the little boy who has a near-death experience is named Colton, and, well, we have a precious son named Colt. I just wasn't sure how my mama heart would handle it.
Have you read the story of Colton and his family? Are you planning to watch the movie when it comes to theaters this Easter?

I still haven't watched, but I've been a much bigger fan of Rory than Amy for some time. He's basically been the heart of the show since he became a regular, except when they force Amy upon us (see A Town Called Mercy).
Of the New Who principal companions, I'd slot the Ponds behind Donna (easily had the best story arc of any companion) and probably Rose, but ahead of Martha.
As for companions as a whole, my favorites are Jack, River, Rory and Rose. Martha's story was just myeh, though I liked her character. Amy is often annoying but has her moments; however, if there was no Rory I probably couldn't stand her character at all.
Hopefully Oswin is a good companion with a strong story arc.

Branding Lessons From an Unlikely Source
by Michael DiFrisco
Remember this: Branding is about discovering your specific idea; the one thing that you or your dental practice stands for. As a business owner, your duty is to own a relevant, authentic, and differentiated idea to live in the minds of your patients and prospects.
With that thought firmly planted, let's turn to the Food Network. I'll admit I'm a sucker for the program Th Next Food Network Star, a reality-type program that takes a dozen or so aspiring chefs/TV personalities and, over multiple weeks, puts them through an elimination-style challenge. So what does this cooking show have to do with branding your dental practice? Everything. Because each contestant is challenged to develop a POV, or Point of View, that represents what will make him or her…wait for it…relevant, authentic, and differentiated. Just like a business, a product, or a dental practice.
One of the judges, Susie Fogelson, Food Network and Cooking Channel Senior Vice President of Marketing, Creative & Brand Strategy, would constantly remind the deer-in-headlights contestants to define, refine, and evolve their POV. Many of this past season's contestants slipped—and ultimately suffered elimination—not because of kitchen-related mishaps, but because they forgot their POV and wandered "off brand".
"Why would someone stop and watch your show?" Fogelson would challenge. Viewers need a reason to cease surfing and pay attention. And admit it: that's exactly what you want your patients and prospects to do; to stop and consider YOU and YOUR dental practice or services because they're relevant, authentic, and differentiated.
The ultimate winner of this year's Food Network Star wasa young chef from Chicago named Jeff Mauro. Mauro had his POV nailed from the very first show: he referred to himself as the Sandwich King. At first the moniker— and point of view—seemed questionable. Could Mauro really leverage the simple sandwich and elevate the humble POV to his own show on Food Network? The answer was a resounding yes. By consistently presenting his POV to the judges week after week, he cut through the clutter. Everything he did—from his on-screen tests to the creative food he prepared—was aligned to his POV in a way that made him stand out from his competitors.
In the book, Why Johnny Can't Brand, authors Bill Schley and Carl Nichols, Jr. wrote, "The positioning paradox is that the power of your message is directly proportional to how simple you can make it and how few words and images you can use to say it." To that point, there's a new show on the Food Network on Sunday mornings. It's called, Sandwich King.
So, what's your practices' POV? And why should patients and prospects patronize you instead of the practice down the street?

The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is a dōjutsu kekkei genkai, which appears in some members of the Uchiha clan.[1] It is one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), along with the Byakugan and the Rinnegan.[2] The Sharingan is also called "Heaven's Eye" (天眼, Tengan), because of the many abilities it grants the user.[3] Tobirama Senju defines it as the "eye that reflects the heart" (心を写す瞳, Kokoro o utsusu hitomi).[4]
The Sharingan's abilities consist of two parts: the "Eye of Insight" (洞察眼, Dōsatsugan) and the "Eye of Hypnotism" (催眠眼, Saimingan).[5] The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see chakra flow. The Sharingan itself gives colour to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate them.[6] They are also able to tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular. The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognise genjutsu and different forms of chakra, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements[7] or mimic something like pencil movements.[8] As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement.[9] However, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not always have time to react.
The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to copy almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other kekkei genkai techniques. The user can memorise ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with near-perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques, much like Sasuke Uchiha's Lion Combo. In order to reproduce a copied technique, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them. A prime example is Rock Lee's brand of taijutsu. While Sasuke was able to copy some of Lee's moves, they put a much more significant strain on him since he hadn't trained nearly as much as Lee had. In addition to physical skill and kekkei genkai techniques, the Sharingan cannot reproduce techniques dependent on other factors, such as summons that the user has not signed a contract with.
The Sharingan's final commonly-used ability is capable of inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact between both parties.[10] More advanced Sharingan users can take the hypnosis ability even further to the point where a powerful summon like Manda[11] or even a tailed beast may be controlled. It has been stated by Madara Uchiha that the beasts were slaves to those with the blessed eyes.[12] When this was used against Manda and the Nine-Tails, their eyes took on the tomoe pattern of the users' Sharingan while under hypnotic influence. In a similar manner, one can enter a jinchūriki's subconscious to effectively suppress the tailed beast's chakra.[13] While this control can be absolute when used on a single target, when cast on multiple ones, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain said control, giving chance for stronger targets like the tailed beasts to temporarily break free in certain instances.[14][15]
The hypnotic ability coupled with the other aspects of the Sharingan can make the user appear as if they can "see the future". First, the user must perfectly mimic every move their opponent makes and possibly their thoughts and words through careful observation. Then, they suggest an action to the opponent such as hand seals for a technique that the opponent and Sharingan user already know and copy that. With these things done, the user can complete the action even before the opponent does, possibly using the Sharingan's genjutsu to confuse or delay them. As with other genjutsu, genjutsu cast by the Sharingan are capable of putting an opponent to sleep, inducing paralysis, replaying memories to someone else via genjutsu,[16][17][18] or creating various illusions to deceive someone or torture the person. The potency of the Sharingan's illusion is dependent on the user's knowledge and skill with implementing genjutsu. Two Sharingan users are also able to free each other from other forms of genjutsu by first using genjutsu on each other, allowing them to enter their comrades mind and free each other from the genjutsu.[19]
In addition, more rarely used by the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan can allow the user to perform two very powerful and unique genjutsu: Izanagi and Izanami, which alters or decide one's destiny, respectively. Using Izanagi, the user can warp reality for a short amount of time, changing reality into illusion and illusion into reality, thus escaping death and rewriting destiny; although to make use of this technique to its full extent, the user must have the DNA of both the Uchiha and Senju.[20][21] Izanami, on the other hand, is a genjutsu that traps the victim in an infinite loop disregarding their five senses;[22] this technique was specifically created to counter anyone who would abuse Izanagi's ability to alter their destiny, by forcing the victims to relive the situation over and over until they accept it and cease using Izanagi. Both techniques have been labelled kinjutsu, because use of either causes the eye that performed Izanagi or Izanami to close forever.
Although the Sharingan consumes the user's chakra while active, the amount of chakra that the user must exert is so insignificant that they can keep it active constantly. In fact, Itachi Uchiha was so masterful with the Sharingan that he was able to keep it active for most of the time, only once deactivating it after using Tsukuyomi on Sasuke and Kakashi, as well as Amaterasu to escape Jiraiya, due to exhaustion. However, when a Sharingan is transplanted to a non-Uchiha, the chakra drain is significant, leading them to cover it up when not in use. This seems to be circumvented by acquiring Senju cells in order to boost their vitality.[23]
The Sharingan's power, because of its ties to the Curse of Hatred, is both a blessing and a curse. The moment that an Uchiha comes to know a powerful emotion towards someone, such as love and friendship, a stressful or emotional condition brought out from losing that precious person causes the brain to release a special form of chakra that affects the optic nerves while transforming the eyes into Sharingan.[24] After its initial activation, the Sharingan may be used freely, although it is possible for an Uchiha to lose memory of such an event and not reactivate it until through willpower years later.[25][26] When the Sharingan is first activated by a user, it has a different number of tomoe (巴) around the central pupil, varying between users.[27][25]
The wielder of the Sharingan, through continued use and training, changes its form further, which involves the eye maturing fully until it has three tomoe. As the Sharingan develops, the user gains heightened abilities through the heightened ocular sense. For example, they can at least copy hand movements with one tomoe, predict a person's movement and copy techniques with two and completely use the Sharingan's abilities when it is fully matured. From what characters have noted, this dōjutsu apparently "glows" in the dark.[28][29] True to its name, the Sharingan and its derived forms have shown the ability to spin.[30] It is shown that when a person awakens their Mangekyō Sharingan without a fully matured Sharingan, their Sharingan will automatically mature while developing into a Mangekyō Sharingan.[31]
Receiving the Sharingan
The Sharingan needs to be activated by the user when they are faced with a difficult circumstance[32] or placed under emotional stress.[33]
It is also possible to transplant Sharingan from one person to another as noted the case of Kakashi Hatake who received his Sharingan from his former comrade, Obito Uchiha.[34] Madara Uchiha noted that an individual needs to possess two Sharingan in order to bring out the eye's true potential.[35] A Sharingan tranplanted into a non-Uchiha, like Kakashi, cannot be deactivated and requires him to use more chakra than an Uchiha would, covering the eye with his headband to conserve chakra while resting for long periods after extensive use in battle. Because Kakashi obtained his Sharingan from Obito, they share the same technique and other dimension.[36] Apparently, if a living Uchiha gives away their Sharingan, they will still have a link to the detached eye, and will be able to "see" what the eye sees in some instances, though this seems to be limited to a certain range.[37] This also holds true for the recipient of the eye.[38]
In a similar way, Danzō Shimura had a Sharingan instead of his normal right eye, that he gained from Shisui Uchiha, which he kept hidden under his bandages.[39] Danzō also possessed ten Sharingan in his right arm, which were kept sealed until he needed them.[40] It is also possible to transplant it to animals, as Itachi did to Shisui's Sharingan with one of his crows.[41]
However, if an Uchiha gives their Sharingan to another member of the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan can be deactivated and therefore, would not need to be covered up to conserve chakra.
Mangekyō Sharingan
Main article: Mangekyō Sharingan The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened by a Sharingan user when they suffer from trauma after witnessing the death of someone close to them. With the user normally having to witness or experience this first hand, Uchiha throughout history have killed those closest to them in order to expedite this process due to the misconception that killing one's closest friend would awaken it when it wasn't even needed.[42]
It is distinguished from a normal Sharingan by its appearance, which changes the form of the tomoe seal. Unlike the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan differs from user to user with all known wielders of the dōjutsu having eyes that resemble variations of pinwheels.
The Mangekyō Sharingan gives the user access to several powerful techniques, with each user awakening different abilities. These include the powerful fire technique Amaterasu, the almost unbreakable genjutsu Tsukuyomi and, in rare cases, the use of Susanoo. Some wielders awaken the same technique in both of their eyes, such as Obito Uchiha, whose eyes allow the user to use space-time ninjustu such as the dimension-shifting technique Kamui, as well as Shisui Uchiha, whose eyes are both capable of activating Kotoamatsukami. Using the Mangekyō Sharingan puts strain on the user's eyes and erodes their vision, eventually causing blindness. This can be prevented by transplanting another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan from a close relative, such as a sibling. The newly acquired Mangekyō Sharingan looks like a merger of both eyes and is dubbed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (永遠の万華鏡写輪眼, Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan).
Obtaining the Rinnegan
Main article: Rinnegan This dōjutsu has been shown to be able to change into the Rinnegan. This was demonstrated by Madara Uchiha, who noted that after he acquired Hashirama Senju's DNA at the Valley of the End and integrated the DNA into his wounds, the dōjutsu did not awaken until he was near death.[43] This information was seemingly written on the Stone Monument of the Uchiha located in the Naka Shrine.[44]
- Some characters believe that the Sharingan is somehow related to the Hyūga clan's Byakugan.[45]
- In the anime, two of Sasori's hundred puppets are seen with what appears to be Sharingan.[46]
- In Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, Menma, Naruto's counter-part, temporarily received the Sharingan in his right eye, while under Tobi's possession.

A relic'd masterpiece of ash, maple and vintage tele specs.
The Fender Custom Shop 1961 Telecaster Relic Ash Electric Guitar Master Built by Dale Wilson will please any vintage Tele fan fortunate enough to strap it on. Close inspection reveals the remarkable workmanship and relic treatment for which Dale of Fender Custom Shop is known. It's available in a vintage combination of Tele specs. It has an ash body with a maple neck sporting a "U" back shape. The fingerboard is Indian rosewood with 21 vintage frets and a compound radius. Chrome hardware, a 63 Tele bridge, a 63-style pickguard and two hand-wound Tele pickups come together to produce a fantastic look and classic Tele tone.
Dale Wilson Master Builder
Dale Wilson arrived at Fender in 2003, joined the Custom Shop in 2005 and became a Master Builder in 2011. Building guitars has been a driving passion for the California native since childhood.

Kelly Clarkson Gossip
Kelly Clarkson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Kelly Clarkson is your favourite
AKM-GSI/ INFphoto.com/ Splash, Robin Marchant/ Getty Images
No, really, isn't she? She's my favourite. I can't be neutral on Kelly Clarkson. All I can do is go positive, ultra-positive, all the time. Because she's SO lovely, SO nice, SO fun. And it's real. You can tell when it's not real. On our talk show here in Canada, The Social Full Story
Kelly Clarkson's daughter River Rose
Oh man. I am about to run into some serious bias here. Because I LOVE Kelly Clarkson. I love the way she has just resolutely hung out, being awesome, when people wanted her to go away. I love that 97 years later Simon Cowell still says she was the most talented American Idol. I love her sassy mouth. Full Story
Babies are breaking news
I reach for my blackberry when the alarm goes off. I scan for Breaking News Alerts. Those are the emails I open first. This morning there was a Breaking News Alert. I readied myself for what could be a big day ahead. The Gossip Adrenaline kicked in… "Kelly Clarkson is pregnant" Very happy for her. Full Story
Calling Clive Davis A Liar
Nikki Nelson /WENN
Kelly Clarkson posted this on WhoSay yesterday. Guaranteed she didn't take a long time to write it. Not because it's bad, or anything like that. On the contrary, it is straightforward and passionate – she maybe had one person read it over and then threw it up, shaking a little with rage but feeling better that she did something about it. Full Story
The Fairytale of Kelly Clarkson
Christopher Polk/ Kevork Djansezian/ Getty
It might actually be impossible to replicate the coolness that is Kelly Clarkson. When she wins awards, she still geeks out like a newbie – but there's never any doubt that she knows she deserves it. No false modesty. In fact, as Kelly smoothly transitioned from country to soul last night, I thought "Does she consciously realize she's the best all-around singer in the place? Or does she try to ignore that to stay humble?" You guys, she won a televised singing competition. Full Story
Justin, Selena, Katy, Kelly, and Carly Rae
Wenn, Veffia/Ponce, Karine Paradis
Let's start with Carly Rae Jepsen who was the big winner last night at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. As I've been mentioning, mostly in Smutty Tingles lately, I am not tired of that song yet. Still. Not even close. In fact, all I want to do is listen to it over and over again especially when I'm running which is why I have to resist the urge to just have it on repeat on my iPod. Full Story
Kelly, Gaga, and Vaginas
This is Kelly Clarkson in Australia today promoting her album All I Ever Wanted. She'll continue promoting it in Canada, specifically Toronto, on June 21, at the MuchMusic Video Awards joining Lady Gaga and the Vagina Virgin Jonas Brothers on a star studded list of performers and presenters. I Do Not Hook Up is on my running playlist right now. Full Story
More than just the music…
Kelly Clarkson's new record is getting critically hammered. Off the success of her last effort, the expectation was that she'd take the same formula and churn out another list of 4 or 5 hits. Instead, Kelly decided to write her own stuff, even if it meant staying off the charts and pissing off Clive Davis. Full Story
Most overdressed: Kelly Clarkson
Very impressive. Kelly took down EVERYONE. And I am a big fan. Loved her acceptance speech. She was genuinely overcome and ok, I admit it…I cried along with her. But as much as I adore Kelly Clarkson, she simply cannot pull off this dress. It's a beautiful, beautiful frock. But it is much too much frock for Kelly. Full Story

Awkard moment when a male tries grinding (form of dancing) with a good looking female but does not quite reach physical contact. In most cases, the female does not notice the hovergrind behind her.
Is that loser dancing with that cutie? No dude, the girl doesn't even know, he's doing the hovergrind.

Idaho writer needs a Mississippi education
Don't believe the notion that Mississippi has a bad public relations image? Then you might want to check out the following March 30 headline from the Times-News in Twin Falls, Idaho.
"Idaho looking up at (gulp) Mississippi"
A column from opinion editor Steve Crump went on to hammer our fair state, beginning the ranting with:
TGFM. Thank God for Mississippi. Every educator, politician, public health worker and economist in Idaho has uttered that phrase at one time or another.
Crump's diatribe is a warning to Idahoans after the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis that the annual average income in Idaho was $32,257 last year, second worst in the nation, just ahead of — you guessed it — Mississippi.
Our average yearly salary was $31,186.
Many of Crump's points were valid, but some were mean spirited and way off base.
First a few of the valid points, which Crump used as bulleted items, to show readers where Idaho trails the Magnolia State.
>> Mississippi has a lower rate of binge drinking than Idaho.
>> Idaho spends less per pupil on public schools than Mississippi — a lot less. The difference is $970 per student.
>> Mississippi has lower corporate, individual and unemployment insurance taxes than Idaho.
>> Idaho trails Mississippi in the disparity in salary between men and women.
>> In the past decade, Mississippi's per capita personal income has grown half-again as fast as Idaho.
>> Idaho has a lower immunization rate than Mississippi.
>> Mississippi has a higher percentage of its citizens who check their cholesterol than Idaho's residents.
>> Idaho has a higher underemployment rate than Mississippi.
>> Although both states received "Ds," Mississippi finished higher than Idaho in Education Week magazine's most recent rankings. In the category standards, assessment and accountability, Mississippi received a "B;" Idaho got a "C." Mississippi also got higher marks in school finance and teachers.
Low blows
Then there were the cheap shots:
If this continues, no Idahoan is gonna be able to go out of the house without a Confederate flag over his or her head.
I mean, have you been to Mississippi?
The humidity is so bad it's like walking around in concrete overshoes. You have to change your shirt three times a day.
The roads are terrible, the politicians are crooked, the drivers are drunk (10.35 DUI fatalities per 100,000 people, as opposed to 4.67 in Idaho), fire ants and cockroaches are everywhere, and the food?
Crump went on to clobber our food based on a compilation of recipes for a book put out by the "Mississippi Fish and Wildlife Foundation," which is a really named the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.
But who's keeping score?
Anyway, the cookbook listed recipes for Squirrel Cacciatore, Rabbit Ravioli, a few others as well as what Crump called his personal favorite of Coon a la Delta.
I am a true Mississippian, with a public school Delta education, and no true expertise as a chef. I mean, I cut classes at Delta State University to clean squirrels and help make squirrel stew for the all the guys in my dorm. So, what do I know?
But I do know Mississippi's resident food expert John T. Edge from the Southern Foodways Alliance. Edge is the author or editor of more than 10 books, including "Cornbread Nation: the Best of Southern Food Writing." He also writes for many publications, including the New York Times.
He says his his son, Jess, won't eat souse or trotters. Neither will his wife, and according to Edge, this situation frustrates him and he sees no resolution forthcoming.
I emailed Edge to ask his thoughts of Crump's column.
"This doesn't seem smart enough to dignify with a reply." Edge emailed back. "What does Idaho know?"
For the record, I gave Crump an opportunity to respond for this column, but he did not reply to email and phone messages.
This isn't the first time folks in other regions of the country have taken pot shots at our state to make their states look better.
Last year, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, while defending tax increases said, "Now is the time to stand up for those priorities. What we're fighting for is Michigan not becoming Mississippi."
New York's Charles Rangel also made less-than- thoughtful comments of us a couple of years back.
As I have said before, we must do a better job of educating folks about our wonderful slice of the South.
It should be pointed out that whatever music Granholm or Rangel or even Idaho's Steve Crump of the Times-News listens to likely was born in Mississippi.
Every major form of music in America got its roots in Mississippi — from Elvis Presley and rock n roll in Tupelo to country and western in Meridian to blues and jazz in the Mississippi Delta.
Maybe Crump and others should be reminded of the great literature and writers who have come from Mississippi — from Faulkner to Welty.
We also have a great journalism tradition ranging from Pulitzer winners of the 1940s at the Delta Democrat Times to a 2006 at the Sun Herald of Biloxi.
Surely, if Crump had known all of these things, he might not have been so quick to hit below the belt.
Having said that, there are plenty of well-documented reasons — education, racial tensions, etc. — Mississippi isn't always at the top of the popularity list.
Crump and others should be admonished for the childish comments made, but we must be honest with ourselves.
There's a long way to go, and people like Granholm and Rangel and Crump wouldn't have made the comments they made if there we didn't have a problem with perception.

Nationals, D-backs open final series in Arizona
Strasburg, Corbin seek strong finish to noteworthy seasons
They won't be going to the playoffs, but they can both be proud of their season.
The D-backs and Nationals will meet this weekend for their final series of the regular season, and both teams can look back on a rich campaign that saw them compete for a Wild Card berth deep into the season. Washington, in fact, has the best record (30-15) of any big league team since Aug. 9.
Stephen Strasburg, shut down early last season, will make his final start of the year on Friday, and he'll be matched against southpaw Patrick Corbin in the series opener. Strasburg is 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 11 starts since the All-Star break, but he's 2-5 with a 4.68 mark on the road this year.
"I think for me, there's a lot of things that I've learned this year," Strasburg said after his last start. "A lot of improvements to be made. And I'm going to work harder than I did the last offseason, and that's all you can really do."
Corbin, an All-Star this season, ranks among the National League's top 10 in victories (14) and innings pitched (203 1/3), and he has more than three times as many strikeouts (171) as walks (52). However, he allowed 10 hits over just 4 2/3 innings in his last start against the Rockies.
"It wasn't just Corbin," manager Kirk Gibson said after the game. "He just doesn't have a lot of life on his pitches right now."
Veteran right-handers Dan Haren and Brandon McCarthy will be matched up in Saturday's middle game, with left-handers Gio Gonzalez and Wade Miley scheduled for the finale.
The D-backs have one of the game's streakiest hitters in first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt carries a 16-game hitting streak into Friday night's series opener, and he's just the third Arizona player in history to have 35 homers and 35 doubles in the same season.
The Nationals have been fueled by a little bit more of a committee approach. Five of Washington's hitters have at least 20 home runs, and only two other big league teams (Toronto and Atlanta) have managed that this season. The Nationals have out-homered their opponents 24-9 since Sept. 7.
Nationals: Desmond in elite company
Shortstop Ian Desmond's 20-homer, 20-steal season marks just the third time a Washington player has managed that accomplishment. Desmond also did it last season, and Alfonso Soriano joined the rarified air of the 40-40 club in 2006.
"It's pretty cool," Desmond said. "It's definitely a blessing. I wasn't always headed down this road in my life, and I'm just fortunate and try to take every day as a blessing and just try to do the best I can every day."
With 20 home runs and 21 stolen bases, Desmond is one of eight big leaguers to go 20-20 this season.
D-backs: Towers supports Gibson
With the end of a middling season near, D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said that he will recommend to ownership that Gibson return to the team next year.
"I know I'm under contract next year," Gibson said. "I expect to be back. I have not been told that I've been back. So we get to the end of the year and we take care of those type things I think."
Towers will also have several decisions to make regarding the rest of the team's coaching staff. Matt Williams (third base), Steve Sax (first base), Don Baylor (hitting), Turner Ward (asst. hitting), Charles Nagy (pitching coach), Alan Trammell (bench) and Glenn Sherlock (bullpen) each have contracts that will expire at the end of October.
"What's the strengths of our staff?" Towers said. "What's the weaknesses of our staff? Those will be things we talk about after the season. Do we have the right coaches to get the most out of those players or not?"
Worth noting
• The Nationals are 103-94 on the road in two-plus seasons under manager Davey Johnson.
• Despite getting swept by the Cardinals, Washington has won nine of its last 11 series.
• Arizona has played a franchise record 24 extra-inning games this season and is 16-8 in those circumstances.

As someone who has had short hair most of their life, I can tell you that it IS open for public commentary. Especially for young women. I've been asked some pretty nasty things. I'm sure I don't need to say them. I'd never say anything to anyone either way. I'm working on growing my hair long. Past my shoulders is part of my 40x40.
ReplyDelete#4. Because everyone has an opinion about everything, and people's opinions are SO important and right that you MUST listen to them ALL the time! During my last pregnancy, I was in Target one day and a complete stranger walked up to me and said, "Wow, your belly is completely lopsided!" I walked away and then realized that my hoodie had gotten twisted so what was really lopsided was my zipper. LOL.
ReplyDeletelovely list, lovely feeling to be done with taxes for the year (!), lovely long hair.... just love ♥
my little harper has long-ish gold hair with the cutest relaxed curls in the back and he is mistaken for a girl - a lot! - and we have had people get huffy and defensive when we politely correct them. people *eye roll*
have a great week!
erikaYou baked cookies for a stuffed rhino's birthday - you, my friend, are a FANTASTIC mother.
My hair hasn't been that long in about 31 years. My hair hasn't touched my shoulders in decades - I have no patience for it.
I'm not sure I've ever asked anyone with long hair if they were going to cut it - I find that an odd question.I had no idea your hair was THAT long! Envy!
I think people comment about long hair because it's so unusual. It's so easy to cut hair short, but it takes a looooong time to grow it long. And it doesn't look good on everyone.
I bet most people who comment are actually envious.
And filing your taxes today? Also envy. I have a whole lotta filing to do before we can start our taxes. Ugh.Oh you are fabulous for filing! We have not even started. But its on the list :-)
And I have been getting the hair commentary for some time now and I imagine for awhile. I am so trying to grow it for locks of love. its really long, but not long enough that I would not have a pixie if it was cut now!Oh man, you are done with being productive for the entire week! That's epic. I'm so proud!
And yeah, I wonder about the comments some people make. I think it comes down to the fact that it is something to say. As a society, we have transitioned away from small talk. Get in, get out, get done type of conversations are much more common...and if people tend to be stuck in an area together, they will play with their phones or just be silent. As such, people just don't really ever know what to say...Number FOUR!!! When I was pregnant many people told me I "should" cut my hair to prevent pain from the baby pulling it and said that if I didn't do it in advance I surely would when I had the baby. That annoyed me so much I didn't even get my normal trim. Then I cut 18 or so inches last year and still had what most consider long hair (http://parenthood.phibian.com/?ID=284). It's like I had a near miss joining some kind of exclusive club and many people feel the need to ask me when I'm going to cut it again and whether I'll cut it shorter this time. Honestly! It's like some people (ESP women) need me to cut my hair to justify their own short hair.

First of all, I'm so jealous that your taxes are easy enough to do without outside help. Sigh.
And, my hair is getting ridic long too, I need it cut. But I am SO lazy about it. Sometimes I like it long, sometimes I hate it. But I'm pretty sure it's been about a year now since I had a pro do it. No one really says anything until I bring it up, maybe they're just being polite! That's so funny about the long hair/short hair thing. I've never thought about that before. I personally love long hair but I'm also jealous of girls who can pull off a cute short style. And I think donating hair is a great thing but I also think keeping it for yourself, on your own head, is wonderful too. ;-)
And YAY for done taxes!!I think you deserve to take the rest of the week off! I try to keep my to-do list to no more than TWO things per day, and sometimes neither of those two things get done.
On #4...My 2-yr-old boy has long-ish hair and has been called a girl more often than he's been called a boy. But DH and I think it's just adorable, so the long hair stays.So are you the resident tax-filer in your house? Tim did them for the 1st 7 years of our marriage (or we did them together). But for the past few years we took our taxes to a CPA. Its been a huge relief - and our returns are bigger!
Now if we could actually get better about keeping everything organized...!
