Wud up, Wud up guys. Let's get it started.
Yo Ohm! Need some help! I have Nicks, and was going to use Nate Washington to replace him for the next 3 weeks. Should I pick up Hagan instead? Is it worth it? Also, Pettigrew or Boss for 3 weeks?
Hal... I think Nate Washington is a serviceable replacement for sure. But I'd like him a lot better with Kerry Collins at QB. Still think he will get his looks because Randy Moss draws attention and gets no catches. LOL. Hagan is worth a pick up but I rather have Washington between the two for now. I think I rather have Pettigrew than Boss for the next three weeks as well. Good luck!
Hey Ohm, whats the latest on the injuries to Smith, Nicks, Diehl and Ohara. What do you think the Giants do with Andrews when Diehl and Ohara come back?
B... Nicks out at least three weeks. Smith out for likely another two weeks or more. Diehl says he might try to work this week. More will be known about O'Hara tomorrow. When Diehl does come back, provided Andrews' back holds up, I think Diehl will play LG.
Hey ohm what are the chances of coach coughlin calling in lt greg golson for a little pep talk
Rahul... are you really joining us from Singapore. Nice! Hear that is one of the cleanest countries in the world! I think TC will have something to motivate his troops. Not sure if Lt. Golson will be there this week but the team always remembers. He has been around a bit here and there.
Bring back Plax and Amani!!! Seriously tho, Amani Toomer just ran the NYC Marathon. He has to be in good shape right? Honeslty, I'd rather just go with Manningham, Hagan, and Beckum in the slot. Atleast they know the offense. If we HAD to sign somebody (other than Amani), is Kevin Curtis the guy?
Matty... Toomer is in shape. But not football shape. I'd be surprised if Toomer were brought back. They will bring in Michael Clayton, former TB receiver. And Curtis is an option for now but I saw a report that Curtis is working out somewhere else today. I think you will see Beckum more in the passing game.
Ohm....AB, Nicks, and Eli are having problems protecting the ball. The Turnovers are simply not going away, in fact they're persisting. What do YOU do to remedy this?
Wud up man? I don't know. I asked Tom point blank on Sunday night what else can he do since he harps on it every week and he said he didn't know. You can't bench Bradshaw. Could you start Jacobs? Sure but Bradshaw will still get his carries. They need him. But as you know, it is not like Bradshaw isn't trying to protect the ball. I think Eli will be better. No more diving. LOL.
What up Ohm? I thought i was having a nightmare when i woke up and read the news on Nicks. I hate to be a pessimist here but to me after seeing how poor the running game was against Philly the offense is going to be terrible without their top WRs and the Gmen wont make the playoffs. If that happens what do you think the odds are that Coughlin is let go and they bring is someone like Cowher or Gruden?
Matt... well, this is a good question since the circumstances are a bit different. If injuries cost them the playoffs, Coughlin might still stick around. The team certainly responds to Coughlin and they don't quit. I only think Coughlin gets fired if the team fails to respond to him. That's not the case here. I know how it will look, two seasons in a row without playoffs if that happens. But this season is much different than last season.
Last question. I thought Fewell had more success vs. PHilly when he blitzed and played man in the secondary. Will this trend continue or is it back to Cover 2? I know mixing things up is good, but IMO if Fewell didn't change game plans at the end of the 1st half the Giants don't even make it a game. An entire week of game planning went out the window after 1 1/2 quarters....I'm glad Fewell made the switch, but why not Man up / Single High more often???
I'm with you... loved the timely blitzing... I don't know if that wasn't a part of the game plan. I think it was an adjustment but also in the game plan. I just think they might have amped up the blitz even more. The only thing that scares me of bringing the heat like that is the one-on-one coverage and the Giants got lucky a few times there with the drops. Leaving the corners alone is risky, know what I am saying? Best ideal situation in my mind is to let that front four get heat on its own and maybe bring a corner blitz. I will say this... loved how they blitzed Rolle!
That loss against the Eagles hurt. I can't tell you how nervous I am with the G-Men right now. The next 3 weeks seem to be winnable games. But the turnover bug as well as the injury bug has bitten this team, game after game. Got my hand on the panic button, but didn't press it yet. Is there any more news on the receivers and how is Diehl and O'hara doing?
Kenny... take your finger off the panic button and step away from the machine... LOL. You can panic if they lose to Jacksonville at home. This will not be an easy game, even if Nicks were healthy. It's one of those games that has tough written all over it. You know, that sleepy 1 pm start, an opponent that isn't sexy but has ability to drag you down to their level of play. But with these injuries and the loss to Philly, the Giants should know that their season pretty much is riding on these games... This is a MUST-WIN game. They can't blow a home game to the Jags, who do find a way to pull out close games. The Giants have to beat the teams they can beat, point blank. And make no mistake, Sunday night was painful. That locker room looked stunned, disgusted and heartbroken.
If the Giants end up with another second-half collapse, do you see Tom Coughlin being fired at the end of the year?
Sam, I would say it depends on how they go down. If the Giants are decimated by injuries to stars and the team is still playing hard for him, then I think he can return. If the team quits, then I can see a change. Right now, the team is still very much under Coughlin.
Ohm's Law! I've heard Bradshaw may lose carries due to ball security. Say it ain't so! (or at least say it's to Danny Ware not Jacobs - he's no longer a huge threat). What have you heard? Thanks.
Vinnie... Coughlin hasn't come out and really said that he will lose carries. I don't think he will, personally. Coughlin did say Bradshaw has earned the right to have his carries despite all the fumbles. He did say he could change who starts the game but he did say the carries likely wouldn't change. I still think AB will start and run as much as he has.
Ohm Wassup Do you think the G-MEN will be interested in bringing in Marvin Harrison?
Shakoor... wud up man. Doubt it. Harrison looked done the last time we saw him. And he has too much controversy surrounding him with all the alleged off-the-field gun stuff and all that. I think the Giants are done with receivers with baggage.
My Man Ohm (Truly one of the best writers ESPN has), thank you again for the Great advice that you give me time and time again. I was wondering tho, How effective will V. Jax be upon return and does he merit an instant start?
JDubb... thanks man. I am not always on point so be aware. If I was, I'd win thousands of dollars in those big money leagues, which I don't have the guts to play. LOL. I think Jackson will be fine. The way that offense passes, Jackson will be a great WR2 or WR1.
How are the Giants going to survive without Smith & Nicks?
Nick... Hagan will start and should be fine. Not Nicks but serviceable. Expect Beckum to get more snaps in passing game. Boss could be used more as well. Giants said they want to establish the run more. Not sure if they can with banged up offensive line.
Yo Ohm, especially being from Philly (and a giants fan) disappointed in Sunday nights result. To have any chance to win the division (or just make the playoffs) we're gonna need our receivers healthy.What do you think are the chances A) smith is back by the washington game, and B) Nicks is back for the next Philly game
Smith said he hopes to be back by Washington game but then when pressed admitted it's a long shot. He then said he will likely be limited the rest of the season... As for Nicks coming back by Philly... could be optimistic. From what I understand, the fasciotomy procedure he had basically is a cut into his skin to alleviate the swelling. That could take time to heal.
JETS- no sophomore jinx, 8-2, winng ugly... BUT I am not happy... they are playing like a 5-5 team(got lucky in multiple games) and WILL get knocked off in first round and by any good team inbetween now and then. AM I wrong?
You have a point Tony. Certainly reason to be concerned. But hey, sometimes teams get lucky and that happens during magical seasons. I'd be very happy with the way Sanchez is playing at the end of games. He looks great no matter how bad he looks earlier in the game. The defense concerns me. Not able to get as much pressure as Rex would like. The defense needs to play better. I think they will.
why cant the giants stop winning games for the other team, whether its turning the ball over, and/or the offense being not up to pare? Also can we get an actual KR/PR
Eddie... if the Giants stop killing themselves... they'd have two more wins at least. But this is who they are unfortunately. As for the KR/PR, Blackmon actually is doing better than Reynaud. I think he can get better. Remember, he just came back from ACL surgery last year.
Hey Ohm,I'm a huge Giants fan, but cant help but think there's gonna be another repeat of last seasons disappointment. The D is on fire, but the continuous turnovers and inconsistencies dont exactly lend themsleves to a big playoff run. Do you see this sorting itself out anytime soon???
Ciaran... I hear you. It certainly feels a bit like last year although this time the Giants aren't getting waxed in games. At least this team still plays hard. Last year, they quit at times. But the turnovers are maddening. I think they can right the ship but the injuries are mounting. Don't know if they can overcome the injuries. The schedule is tough but not impossible.
What will the Giants' offense look like this Sunday without the two big playmakers on both sides? Can we still run the ball effectively with Mario as our only passing threat?
Malik... they are going to have to run the ball and I think they will be able to in spurts. Hopefully Diehl or O'Hara will be back. Not sure what the liklihood is of that. Mario will be the playmaker now but could see extra attention. Look for Hagan to play more of the Steve Smith role, but obviously not as well. But Hagan is solid. As the third WR... I think Boss and Beckum will try to make that up. But I would expect the Giants to try to establish the run first. Time for Eli to make everyone around him better and carry this team.
Ohm, pretty scary stuff on the nicks injury. Are the Giants really confident he can be back in 3-4 weeks?
Matt, team says approximately three weeks. And the Giants are typically pretty upfront about that stuff. Sounds like the three weeks is best-case scenario.
Can the Giants survive all these injuries? Week after week, important cogs of the offense continue to go down. Thank goodness the defense has remained relatively healthy
Rich, it will be tough. But I think they can. Other teams have survived injuries. Look at San Diego. I know they have terrific talent on the offense but they keep losing players and win. Indy, same thing. The Giants' margin for error, though, is so small now. They can't afford the multiple turnovers.
In my mind, Eli needs to step up and really lead this team now.
My belief- Eli Manning is a middle tier NFL QB(not great, not horrible). YES- he is a SB MVP, in a year the defense should have won that award. BUT I can not shake the thought he just can't shoulder a team(like his brother can) and win with anybody at the skill positions- true?
Tony... that's my column for tomorrow. Time for Eli to do it. Nobody will fault him if he can't lift this team to the playoffs. But as you see with Peyton, when somebody goes out, he still keeps it going. Granted, he hasn't lost Reggie Wayne this season. But he has lost Dallas Clark, Austin Collie, two running backs and I think Garcon might have been banged up as well. If the Giants are going to make the playoffs, Eli has to lift this offense and carry it.
Ohmy, talk me off the ledge. Who will line up at WR for us this Sunday?
Mike, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend... LOL. I think Hagan will start and Beckum and Boss see more action in the passing game. Not the end of the world... yet.
Ohm, Why does it seem the Gmen continue to shoot themselves in the foot? Have we overrated Eli?
I don't think Eli is overrated. He does have a Super Bowl ring. But I do think some people who expect him to be NFL MVP do have him overrated. He just has too many turnovers to be in that discussion. He is second in touchdowns this season to Drew Brees I believe but second to Favre in INTs. Eli can clean it up though. This is an opportunity for Eli to show how good he truly is. If he can take this team to the playoffs without his top two receivers... WOW. If he doesn't, I still wouldn't blame it all on him. But he does have a chance to step up here.
If youre Jerry Reese or Marc Ross, what positions are you looking for this coming draft?
Dutch... the draft is like so far away from now. We are in the middle of the season. Focus on trying to make the playoffs homey. LOL. I'm sure they will be looking at offensive line and more offense but you know Jerry, he loves to add to the defense. I'd like to see them add another corner as well.
JETS- last year was run game HUGE and defense dominated... am I just used to it now OR are we getting 2009-lite in both areas this year?
Well... run game has been disappointing to a degree. Defense... I think offenses have adjusted to knowing where Rex's pressure is coming from. It isn't the same from last year. The offensive line has to play better and I think Rex will find a way to get the Jets to play better defensively.
Hey Ohm. I wanted to ask if we are finally going to see some consistent usage of the tight end position now that our WR's are really banged up. We all know Boss can make a catch and Beckum has looked decent in limited time this year. Is there any chance Gilbride incorporates them into the game for the first time this season or is the line just so bad he needs them as extra blockers? Appreciate it, keep up the good work.
Jack... the line has needed Boss to block as an extra blocker. That is why you often see an extra offensive lineman in there. But I think Gilbride will use his tight ends more in passing, certainly Beckum. But Boss will help since when he is in on more snaps, he can disguise whether Giants are going to run or pass.
Ohm my man, wud up? Thx 4 ur updates/info on da g-men. A Rolle is doing a gr8t job 4 us thus far, however, is it me or dies he sometimes freelance in the 2ndary?
Gunny... I got to watch the tape of the game... didn't get to it yet because of the Nicks stuff but I need to see what happened on that fourth-and-one because I think he went straight into the pile in the middle. I know somebody, not sure who, was supposed to shadow McCoy according to Tuck and somebody thought Vick was going to fumble and started to come in.
What about Michael Clayton? I haven't seen him in action yet. Would you think he will be suitable for Steve Smith's routes? This would be a good time to but Plax outta of prison lol
Ken... Clayton didn't look good in Tampa after his rookie season. And I don't think he is the best slot-type receiver. But the Giants don't have a lot of options right now. Free 17! LOL.
Whats good witcha Ohm? Ish just got real for the Gmen as we all can see. I guess now we can see if we have the depth that we talked about at the beginning of the season. I think we can hold off these next two weeks until we get some guys back. What you think?
Stevie... wud up. Yeah, this week pretty much a must-win against Jacksonville. Lose this and they have dropped three straight and the season will feel like it's over. These next two games are winnable but they will be tough, no doubt. But after two weeks, who knows, maybe Smitty comes back and then Nicks a week or two after that. And maybe offensive line is healthy by then as well. Or the Giants could keep losing the ball and by then half the team will be on IR. LOL.
Ohm- Curtis, Clayton, Bryant...any chance the Giants sign one of these guys to be the 3rd WR Sunday? Calhoun doesn't have a clue
Possibly Moe. But I doubt Bryant. Homeboy sounded like he was done when he got released by Bengals. Knee sounded pretty bad. My guess is Giants do sign somebody this week.
Ohm, whats good partner? Call me an optimist, but I think the loss of Nicks makes the GMen go back to the basics which is smash mouth football. Plus we will see more 2 TE sets and if anyone has fantasy, pick up Boss and Beckham now!! lol, but seriously if Pitt won without Big Ben for the first 4 games of the season, I think the GMen can be OK. Your thoughts?
Otto... Coach Coughlin likes where your head is at. Yes, Giants will try to run for sure. But can they behind a banged-up offensive line. But you are right, the Giants aren't the first team with major injuries. And they haven't lost the one piece they simply can't do without - Eli.
Do your parents have a sign in their house saying, "Ohm Sweet Ohm"? ;-) (not trying to be a jerk, just thought it was funny)
Actually, I think my Mom did once make a sign with that on it. She likes corny signs but I love Mom. I think he immediately hid it somewhere. Don't tell Mom.
What's up Ohm. Doing good as usual. Yo, what is up with that boy Dodge? I've been talking to his leg and he just seems nervous all the time.
His leg may be stronger than your knee! LOL. I think Dodge has been shaky but to me, he's still been better than at the start. He still booms some punts. Just let him get more and more comfortable as the season progresses. Bottom line, Giants have a lot more problems than the special teams. Right? Just stay healthy KP's knee.
Besides, Dodge is the man ever since he did his Jersey Shore fist pump!
OOhm boogie what's good? Any word on the return of Steve Smith? Also to make the playoffs Defense has to win next 3 games.
Ray... Smitty said he hopes to return by Washington game but said that was being very optimistic. Also says when he returns, he will likely be limited. Defense will have to be close to lights out and they can against Jacksonville and Redskins next two games. Then it is on to play Favre. Vikes will be tougher with new coach though.
IF you were an NFL owner and could pick ANY current NFL- who would it be and why?
Tony... any current NFL team I guess is what you are asking... Hmm... Dallas is appealing because of that ridiculous stadium and the brand. But I'd probably want to own a team in good weather like San Diego. But I also grew up in DC and would want a team with a rabid fan base like the Redskins. No matter how bad the Redskins are, they are the only thing that matters in that area. So maybe Redskins. Also, that team generates serious money.
Ohm, what's the deal? I know this is a stretch and he doesn't really seem like a Tom Coughlin guy but what about Dwayne Jarrett. He had a troubled career with Carolina but he's a Jersey guy and from USC, the dudes got hands. What do you think? I write at gmenhq.com check me out.
Trav... hmm... don't know... Giants tend to steer clear of dudes with troubled past. They are pretty good about that. Unless the guy is a serious playmaker. And Jarrett has had his chances and didn't do much. But you never know.
Come on Ohm! Start the "Fire Coughlin" garbage so they can start winning again!
Ryan... nah... I never started that and won't. He'd have to completely lose the team in order for that to happen. And he has control over this team. Just not over injuries and stupid turnovers. LOL.
Ohm- why doesn't Danny Ware see the ball? He looked good with limited reps vs Seattle.
Mike... he did but that Seattle team was awful. They couldn't get off the field in the fourth quarter and pretty much gave up. They can barely get Jacobs carries. But maybe Ware will see some action since they have to run the ball now.
Is Randy Moss an option?
He'd have to be released. Randy got his own problems in Tennessee with no quarterback.
Where do you see the Chiefs ending up after the season is ended? I think the Chargers are a huge threat but the Chiefs play more of a complete ball game.
Jarrod... Chiefs have played very well this season. I like how they are building, got some exciting pieces in place. But I think SD is going to win the AFC West the way they are playing. SD is really turning it on. But Chiefs future looking good!
If the Giants use Boss anymore in the passing game he is going to get killed. I swear, every time he catches a pass the defender lays a huge hit and Boss is limping back to the huddle.
B... he does get blasted a lot. He is so big. But he is really tough. But you are right... dude gets blasted and it's not his fault.
Ohm, do you think with Bradshaws' fumbling and Jacobs inconsistency that a running back will be at the top of the list of offseason concerns?
B... I can see the Giants looking at RB in the draft... not sure if they would draft somebody high though. Bradshaw is still one of the better backs in the league.
Alright guys... Schefter reporting Clayton will sign later today... got to run. Thanks guys.
Sorry to run out... will get to your questions next week!

"Lovely Hotel but in need of Aircon"
3rd September 2013, Aimee_277, Cardiff, United Kingdom
This was my second stay at the Mercure London Staines and I would stay at this hotel again as it is a very nice hotel and very conveniently located close to all of Staines amenities [shops, restaurants etc] and it is situated next to the Thames and it has a lovely outdoor terrace with a number of tables, seating areas which is lovely on a summer's evening however the rooms are extremely hot!! I found it difficult to sleep on both nights as the room was so warm, we couldn't open the window as the noise of traffic was so loud and the small fan supplied didn't help much. On our first visit we had a room overlooking the Thames which was much quieter and we could open the window during the night so this was much cooler and if I stayed here again I would definitely ask to be located to the rear of the hotel.View management response »

Private Tour: 2CV Paris City Highlights Tour
- Choice of several departures throughout the day
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Private tour is operated with just your party and a guide/driver
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
After arriving on the French motoring scene in the 1940s, the attention-grabbing and economical Citroen 2V cars quickly became de reigeur. While their look has changed over the years, the original models – such as the one used on this tour – are held in deep-rooted affection in France. So, enjoy the attention from Parisian locals and visitors alike as you ride around in a true original: a soft-top vintage 2CV.
Your route takes in all the top Paris attractions around the city center, such as the world-famous Eiffel Tower. Hear how this feat of architectural engineering has become Paris' signature sight, and cruise past other monumental icons like the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Cathedral.
Learn about the city's artistic heritage as you travel past Musée d'Orsay – home to a staggering collection of Impressionist art – and the Louvre Museum on Paris' arty Left Bank. Admire the opulent Neo-Baroque façade of Opera Garnier, and travel along the Champs Elysées boulevard. Other highlights include Place de la Concorde, Les Invalides and the Trocadero. If there is another attraction in central Paris that you particularly want to see, simply let your guide know!
After 1.5 hours exploring the city, finish your 2CV tour with a drop-off at your central Paris hotel or near Opera Garnier.
Please note: 2CVs are small compared to modern vehicles, so with comfort in mind, bookings are only accepted for three people per car, with one driver assigned per trio. Should your group be larger, no worries – up to nine people can book this private tour, and each group of three ride in a separate car while traveling together in a colorful convoy.

What a great way to see Paris! I could not speak any higher about the driver who was more than happy to answer our questions and offer so much more information. My only regret - I didn't get a picture of the car 29.
Reviewed by: Jon P, July 2015
This is the second time we have went on this tour---it is a fun, personalized tour of Paris. For Car lovers, it's a chance to experience Paris the way the French have for decades, in an original 2CV, one of the classic peoples cars of the last century. The best tour of Paris, hands down. Great guides, and picture opportunities as well.

80184A on Carmina website... The shell on these are amazing.... I ordered from Betty
Nick at B. Nelson resoled them... JR water-loc soles, antique edging, white stitching on top
I think they turned out pretty cool... more casual than with original sole and edging but I am really happy with them....post #1683 of 1557410/3/12 at 4:21pmpost #1684 of 1557410/3/12 at 5:07pm

Just a quick bug report for my fellow Swede, the Boots tag leads to http://www.skoaktiebolaget.se/taxonomy/term/18, the 18 should be 15 instead.

@Leaves - saw the new additions to the website today...absolutely love the model/last combinations! The punched cap on the Alcudia last is brilliant. I have the same style on the Simpson last but I think the Alcudia last is a bit more classic. I also love the semi brogue on the Armoury last. Can't wait to see future additions!
I'm trying to stop buying but you're making it VERY hard!

New carmina's resoled.... Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
ok so i am confused, you bought a brand new carmina shell cordovan boot and immediately re-soled it? if so why would you do this? i am not trying to be rude, honestly i dont understand. Unless this is a re-sole after lots of wearpost #1692 of 1557410/4/12 at 1:59amI emailed with Betty in the past two days regarding a black oxford cap toe in calf on the Simpson last and the Uetam last loafers known from the Armoury.
While the later was 295€ last time I asked a few weeks/months ago, they are now 465€ and the black calf, which I expected to be mid-high 300ish, is 510€, fuck my life.
I honestly ask myself who is able to afford these prices, not everybody on SF earns six or seven figures a year.
Those who do will probably go for GG, EG, JL, Vass or even bespoke.
Also I believe most people of today who are into style are looking for information on the internet/SF, so what niche are they aiming for?

Are you sure those prices don't include the MTO surcharge? I am not sure the models you asked for are their standard models. The web-store prices are still within what I would call very reasonable for what you are getting. 500 EUR for a calf model is indeed very steep (you are in the CJ handgrade territory), but still pretty far from EG or JL prices.post #1695 of 1557410/4/12 at 5:37amReturn HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

By now most of us have heard about last week's reveal of the data released by hackers of the extramarital affair site AshleyMadison.com. High- and low-profile users have been "outed" as clients of the site, with some pretty unsavory consequences. As such, it's been easy to tease and make fun of this whole situation–after all, these cheaters had it coming, didn't they?
The problem with that attitude, of course is that none of us are perfect. In fact, even if we aren't members of Ashley Madison ourselves, there remains a lot we can learn from the whole debacle.
The following guest contribution is written by Kat Kinsman in recognition of Mental Health Month Blog Day.
If you really want to know how I'm doing right now, look at my thumb. It always betrays me. My face will, from four decades of muscle memory, arrange itself in a way that will not cause you worry. My voice is calculated to extract any upset so it will not leach in and erode your wellbeing. But my thumb can't lie.
More specifically, the skin to the right of my right thumbnail, and if things are especially dire, the left of the left one, too. If it's smooth and un-pocked, I've been OK for at least a few days. Roughened, but not raw means there was a tough patch in the recent past but I'm on the upswing. Actively bleeding, I'm doing my damndest to keep it together in front of you, and bandaged—I'm trying to protect me from myself. And you from having to look at it. Or really look at me.
I pick at my skin when I'm anxious, which is the rule rather than the exception. Particular things trigger it: running late, leaving the house, running late because I was afraid to leave the house, crowds, phone calls, being called into meetings, stepping away from my desk, the IRS, my husband going on an airplane, walking under scaffolding, deadlines, haircuts, being handed a baby, narrow lanes of highway traffic, and more, so much more. But also nothing. The panic just strikes from nowhere, like a yowling, feral cat with a stepped-on tail. My heart hammers and my throat closes and I suppose the only thing I can think to do is sink my nail into my skin and dig until I'm flinching and distracted.
It could be worse—I know this all too well—but it's not good and I'm trying to find a better way to be. Talking helps. I've come to understand that over the past few years as I've gotten less and less apologetic and infinitely louder about the fact that I'm not OK, and that I'm OK with that. It seems to relieve the pressure not just for me, but for the other people, loved and strangers, I see walking around with their jaws tight, lips bitten and fists balled. The more we can say the words, let them dissolve into the air around us, the less we have to draw our own blood, inflict misery on our own brains and stomachs and skins in order to hide the pain we're in.
So I'm typing these things out into the world in the hope that anyone who needs to read them can stop and unclench just a little bit. There may be a little bit of blood on my keyboard and on the hand I'm reaching out, but it's here if you need to hold onto it for a little while.
Kat Kinsman is the editor in chief of Tasting Table and her debut book, Hi, Anxiety, will be published by Dey Street Books in March 2016.]]>
Welcome to everyone who is taking part in our mental health month blog day, our 6th annual event to help recognize May as Mental Health Month. We'll update this page and blog throughout the day, recognizing you and other writers and contributors who are blogging and sharing for mental health awareness.
Thanks for joining us! Thank you to everyone who is recognizing May as Mental Health Month. We're excited to get out the word that mental health matters to everyone.
Quick Reminders:
Thank you everyone who has participated.
Several years ago, I had the privilege of traveling to Nepal to visit my sister who was working there as a Peace Corps Volunteer. As a once-in-a-lifetime trip, my positive memories of the people and places of Nepal remain vivid to this day, and the recent tragedy of the massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake that overwhelmed this small country has brought many of those recollections flooding back.
As I see the photos of a devastated country and hear reports of more than 7,000 killed and many more thousands injured, I am reminded of the charm, the adventure and the beauty of the country.
The goats on the runway of the tiny airport. The small statured people with huge smiles and warm welcomes into their one-room homes for tea. The simple questions asked of us about our birth order and the well-being of our family members, rather than interest in our jobs or life goals. The small, remote villages perched on high mountains, many accessible only by foot.
The simple, primitive life for which all were grateful and respectful. Living off the land in natural and creative ways, working hard and enjoying each other's company. The stunningly beautiful environment and the ease with which the Nepalese maneuvered so gracefully up and down the mountains, often barefoot, with heavy loads upon their heads and backs, and always friendly.
And now, many of the things which added to the magical quality of this country are causing considerable interference in post-disaster response. Charming primitiveness turns to downright devastation and emergency-level concern as infrastructure is crumbling and basic needs aren't being met.
The Nepalese are well-accustomed to doing without so many of the modern conveniences, yet now they have even less. The basics of the one village water spout or the one fireplace for cooking has Iikely come crumbling down, leaving many in dangerously precarious situations. Transportation limitations are disrupting the speed and efficiency with which supplies can be brought into the country and distributed among its citizens. It can only be imagined how the respect and reverence for their earth is being transformed.
This earthquake and the aftermath seem to be a catastrophe whose enormity is yet to be fully realized.
Hearing about this tragedy can be very distressing for ourselves and our loved ones, but education and tips on coping can be helpful. "Managing your distress about the earthquake from afar" offers tips on how to cope while miles away.
Other resources for general information on emotional reactions after a disaster.
One meaningful way to process distressing feelings and thoughts can be to find a way to help, and the magnitude of this disaster naturally will require considerable financial support. There are several reputable relief organizations that are currently collecting donations to help in the Nepal disaster in particular:
USAID is also keeping an updated site of information about the current relief efforts, assistance for US Citizens in Nepal and additional ways to help with rebuilding.
The Nepal Earthquakes are expected to involve a long-term recovery process, but it is hoped that the people and the country will be able to tap into their resiliency.
There are many factors that assist with more favorable outcomes after a disaster. Some of the important elements naturally include having practical provisions like food, housing, medical care and adequate financial resources to rebuild.
Other significant factors are more abstract in nature yet still are a critical piece of facilitating positive outcomes: maintaining a sense of optimism, return to routine, social connections, and a belief that things will work out because there are outside sources acting benevolently.
The people of Nepal seem to have strong spirits, an interest in connecting relationships, ingenuity in making do with so little, but they are hurting.
In our empathy for the many grieving citizens in this beautiful country, we must continue to recognize strengths as well as suffering. By holding both compassion and hopefulness, and by providing both practical and psychological support, it is hoped that we may be able to help the brave Nepalese people eventually shift from suffering to resilience, from surviving to thriving.
The Ebola virus sounds scary. The headlines about the disease are frightening: it can be fatal, it is spread through bodily fluids, there's no vaccine. The news reports can cause alarm, and misinformation can be easily spread through social media and other Internet sites. And now that a person treated in a U.S. hospital has died from Ebola, people seem to be more on edge about the disease and about the possibility of transmission.
Experts say don't panic. They say that you don't have a chance of catching it. They say that it's highly infectious but not easily contagious. But that doesn't necessarily reduce fears or anxieties when there's a report of Ebola-like symptoms reported at a U.S. hospital.
It's important to always stay alert, to be informed and take precautions if you think you may be at risk for coming into contact with any virus. But to help maintain emotional well-being, it's critical to ease Ebola fears by reviewing the facts, maintaining perspective, and upholding hope.
Public health experts and government agencies are sharing what is called "risk-reduction messaging." Keeping people informed with facts and engaging the community is key to successfully controlling the risk of outbreaks. This should not be taken as a sign of needing to live in fear.
Staying focused on the actual data–not the worst case scenarios–is essential. People keep asking if the disease COULD become airborne? Officials have said yes, anything is possible, but knowing how viruses spread and how Ebola has spread, they remain confident that it is not likely.
"The rate of change [with Ebola] is slower than most viruses, and most viruses don't change how they spread," CDC Director Thomas Frieden told reporters recently. "That is not to say it's impossible that it could change [to become airborne]. That would be the worst-case scenario. We would know that by looking at … what is happening in Africa. That is why we have scientists from the CDC on the ground tracking that."
The World Health Organization is actively surveying Ebola disease outbreaks and has been raising awareness in a global way about risk factors for infection, but this sort of messaging is not meant to petrify us. Be sure to not fall prey to rumor and misinformation; know the facts and check the facts.
The news helps to bring us the facts, but following details about a disease too closely can be overwhelming because it can be sensationalized and can feel as if this is the only thing going on in our world – and it's not. Remember that it is the most devastating stories which tend to make the headlines most often, and then they are repeated over and over. Turning away from the news and focusing on what is going on in our more immediate world is one way to ease fear. Keeping involved in usual activities in order to stay engaged in daily life routines helps to maintain perspective and to move forward effectively.
Just as importantly, we must maintain hope and optimism that we will be OK, that our family and friends will be safe, and that this disease will remain controlled. Staying stuck in the negatives, the fears or the what-ifs interferes with daily life routines and can reduce ability to cope with other stresses. Helping yourself and others around you to stay energized and motivated to carry on with normal life activities is key.
This isn't the first time we have experienced an unknown, scary infectious disease. Cases of avian flu, West Nile disease, swine flu, and others have all caused fear and some panic. People feared the worst then as well. Although some did get sick and some did die, the disease outbreaks were contained and managed. Resilience research teaches us that when we make it through one adversity, we can more readily cope positively with other adversities in the future.
Additional tips we have learned from past outbreaks of disease which have helped individuals to help stay calm and minimize stress included:
A healthy lifestyle–including proper diet and exercise–is your best defense against any threat. Adopting hygienic habits such as washing your hands regularly will minimize your exposure to germs and disease sources. A healthy body can have a positive impact on your thoughts and emotions.
Maintaining social networks and activities can help maintain a sense of normalcy, and connection provides valuable outlets for sharing feelings and relieving stress. This may also be an ideal time to become more involved with your community. Volunteering and donating to aid groups fighting the disease in Africa may help boost you feel less helpless about the disease, helping you to feel connected with some solutions. (Here is a list of recognized non-governmental organizations that are accepting donations.)
Sometimes the feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious or scared can interfere with life, work or relationships. When that happens, it may take more work than tuning out news and staying positive. Talk to a psychologist or other mental health professional who can help you better understand your fears or feelings. The SAMHSA Disaster Distress Helpline is another resource for people experiencing signs of distress related to the Ebola outbreak. This helpline provides 24/7 year round crisis counseling and support at 1-800-985-5990.

The Don't-Miss Moments From the DOMA Hearing
Fifteen years after Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act, the U.S. Senate finally has an official record of why the legislation was indeed a mistake — even if some witnesses asserted in Wednesday's hearing (with questionable supporting evidence) that the federal government has a vested interest in discriminating against married same-sex couples.
Here's a sampling of the powerful testimony in support of DOMA repeal submitted for the hearing — as well as the flimsy opposition. —Andrew Harmon
Evan Wolfson, cofounder and president, Freedom to Marry:
"Why is the repeal of DOMA so important for same-sex couples and their families? Because marriage matters. Gay and lesbian couples want the freedom to marry for the same mix of reasons as other couples — reasons that are emotional as well as economic, practical as well as personal, social as well as spiritual, and reasons that resonate in law as they do in love. Like nongay people, gay people want to be able to protect themselves and their families, and marriage provides literally thousands of protections and supports at the federal and state level.
"Most profoundly, gay people seek to make a lifetime commitment to the person they love and to protect their families. They share similar values to those that other couples hold — like the importance of family and helping out their neighbors; they share similar worries — like making ends meet or the possibility of losing a job; and they share similar hopes and dreams — like finding that special someone to grow old with, and standing in front of friends and family to make a lifetime commitment. "
Austin Nimocks, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund:
"Without question, the overwhelming majority of people on both sides of this debate are good and decent Americans, coming from all walks of life, all political parties, all races and creeds. But humanity remains unchanged — a collection of men and women."
Tom Minnery, senior vice president, Focus on the Family:
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services explains in its new and exhaustive report, 'Family Structure and Children's Health in the United States: Findings From the National Health Interview Survey, 2001-2007,' that children living with their own married biological or adoptive mothers and fathers were generally healthier and happier, had better access to health care, less likely to suffer mild or severe emotional problems, did better in school, were protected from physical, emotional and sexual abuse and almost never live in poverty, compared with children in any other family form."
Note: Minnery's assertions, allegedly based on the HHS study, were challenged by Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota. The exchange in the hearing:
FRANKEN: "Isn't it true, Mr. Minnery, that a married, same-sex couple that has had or adopted kids would fall under the definition of a 'nuclear family' in the study that you cite?"
MINNERY: "I would think that the study, when it cites a nuclear families, would mean a family headed by a husband and wife."
FRANKEN: "It doesn't. The study defines a nuclear family as one or more children living with two parents who are married to one another, and are each biological or adoptive parents to all the children in the family. And I frankly don't really know how we can trust the rest of your testimony if you're reading studies these ways."
Edward Whelan, president, Ethics and Public Policy Center:
"The principles invoked by advocates of same-sex marriage in their ongoing attack on traditional marriage clearly threaten to pave the way for polygamous and other polyamorous unions, especially via the judicial invention of a state constitutional right to polyamory. If the male-female nature of traditional marriage can be dismissed as an artifact and its inherent link to procreation denied, then surely the distinction between a marriage of two persons and a marriage of three or more is all the more arbitrary and irrational."
Ron Wallen, who testified about losing his house in Indio, Calif., after the death of his husband because he has no access to Social Security survivor benefits:
"The survivor's benefit would have done for me what it does for every other surviving spouse in America — ease the pain of the loss, help during a very difficult transition, and allow time to make decisions and plan for my future alone. It is devastating to know that any married couple in the U.S. regardless of how long they were married, can depend on the survivor's benefit. Yet, I could not — after 58 years with my spouse — simply because we were two married men. This is unfair and unjust."
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign:
"DOMA does not just harm gay and lesbian couples. It hurts all of those who share in their day-to-day struggles under this discriminatory law. First and foremost, it hurts the children of same-sex couples, who suffer from financial instability created for their parents by DOMA's discrimination. But this discriminatory law burdens other children as well, namely LGBT youth, who see the federal government continue to formally disrespect and discriminate against their community. DOMA tells them, in no uncertain terms, that they cannot be full and equal citizens of their country."

This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
The Sau-Wing Lam collection of violin-family instruments is one of the most important collections of bowed Italian stringed instruments ever assembled by a private individual. Sau-Wing Lam (1923-1988) was born in Shanghai, China, where he graduated with a degree in economics from the prestigious Saint John's University. In 1948 he moved to New York City and eventually became the president of the Dah Chong Hong Trading Corporation, Inc., an import-export business that founded some of the most successful automobile dealerships in the country. An amateur violinist and violist, Lam bought his first important violin in the 1960s and assembled his impressive collection of violins and bows over the next twenty-five years. His holdings eventually included such significant instruments as the "Baltic" violin by Giuseppe Guarneri "del Gesu," the "Bavarian" and "Scotland University" violins by Antonio Stradivari, the "ex Collin" violin by Nicolo Amati, an extremely early viola by Andrea Amati, and Lam's favorite violin, an instrument by Giuseppe Guarneri, one of his earliest acquisitions. Sau-Wing Lam enjoyed sharing his collection and regularly opened his home to scholars, dealers, and musicians. The family hosted impromptu chamber concerts and passionate discussions about music that would last well into the early morning hours. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr. Lam's death, the collection is being exhibited here for the first time in the United States.
Venue Description: Sun.-Thurs., 10am-5:30pm; Fri.-Sat., 10am-9pm. Recommended admission: $25.
