If you met someone that had the personality and intelligence of ...let's say, a pet rock...and they were really good looking, I mean drop dead gorgeous good looking... and they asked you out, both of you knowing you would most likely end up having sex, would you go?
If you say no, would you at least consider it?

well, wait a second...are we talking a ONS or a potential LTR here. Need more info on your question.
But maybe to answer I'll just say, if she's buying it doesn't matter who she is.....boy I'm shallow.
Feb 8 @ 10:19PM
I went out with a woman not long after my divorce mostly because she was absolutly drop dead gorgeous. Bad thing was she had the personality & intelligence of a road gravel & was just about as much fun to be around.
It was a very eye opening experience when I realised that a lot of what makes a woman attractive to me is her personality & intelligence. Give me a nice looking average country girl any day & leave Barbie to the players.
Feb 8 @ 10:19PM
If I was not cheating on a wife or girlfriend the answer would be Yes.
If I had a wife or girlfriend ? No I would not even consider it.
Feb 8 @ 10:21PM
hey i'm a normal country girl
oh sorry CL umm I mean a person's looks are in the eye of the beholder if you'll remember. I have dated good lookin men and regular men. Sorry to say I probably will again but I prefer someone to talk to
Feb 8 @ 10:25PM
are we talking a ONS or a potential LTR here.
It's the first time they have asked you out... just an actual date, with them as a night cap..
boy I'm shallow.
lol...but honesty counts..
Feb 8 @ 10:26PM
boy I'm shallow
band! you bad boy!!! lol hey... we're all shallow in our own way.... and we want who is attractive to US.....
she had the personality & intelligence of a road gravel & was just about as much fun to be around
now that's funny!!!
I will say myself.... I'm not going out with someone who's an idiot just to have someone to go out with.... but.... I'm not going out with someone who's uglier than a bowl of smashed assholes either, I don't care how smart he is!! yeah yeah yeah... call me shallow all you want... I already admitted to it!!!
Feb 8 @ 10:27PM
I prefer someone to talk to
Darn; And I can't put two words together.
Feb 8 @ 10:43PM
Well since i'm not interested in a one nite stand and that would probably be what he was looking for i'd say no, although i may think about it first. But in all honesty looks fade but personality and brains last, and thats what matters in the long run. I tend to avoid the drop dead gorgeus ones as i want to be the pretty one too. And many of the ones i've met know they look good and that alone is unattractive.
Feb 8 @ 10:47PM
experience has taught me that looks has nothing to do with prowess in bed. So with that being said, you really don't know how the sexual experience would be with somebody 'drop dead gorgeous'. If it was a one date thing, sure why not. But if it was a potential long term thing, I'd rather have the intelligence so I could have an actual conversation with her.
If it's to much to ask for Brains and Beauty, then I pick Brains. But like Pink says, I'll draw the line at a bowl of smashed assholes.
Feb 8 @ 10:48PM
Yeah...I would go...I just love DUMBFUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 8 @ 11:13PM
I just love DUMBFUCKS
*shaking my head*
bunny! you so funny!!!
Feb 8 @ 11:46PM
I'd go along with it just because I would want to see her naked. But I wouldn't start a relationship with someone that has no intelligence.
Feb 8 @ 11:46PM
what about dumbusedtobeblondes...
Feb 8 @ 11:50PM
I can't believe it?!!!!!!!!! This is the second blog where I agree with Detach! Their isn't emotion for that...so, I will just agree to agree! What ya think about that Pink?!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 8 @ 11:54PM
Naked is goooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 9 @ 12:03AM
oh hell...I spelt there wrong! Where the hell is Bruce! He is my spell check!
Feb 9 @ 1:54AM
sure could be fun even if it does end up as a ons......
Feb 9 @ 2:21AM
I would have to say 'no', I just can't picture myself having sex with someone I can't even talk to or had the personality of a nit. Sooooo my answer would have to be nope!!
Feb 9 @ 3:30AM
Well that all depends on how shallow i'm feeling that day.
Physical attraction is powerful. You can walk into a place and think you have someone pegged without them even saying a word. Like I said though you THINK you have it all figured out. No all ugly people have brains, not all pretty people are dumb either.
Feb 9 @ 6:45AM
If she is super sexy in body, but has the mind of a canoli.....it won't be happening....I need more than a willing body....she has to have a mind attached to it too....
Feb 9 @ 7:11AM
.....Well it takes more than a few mins to get to know someone... Maybe after a little time together..this person would be more inwardly attractive..to me!!
I say... I will go out...with this Lady..and see where it goes!!! We dont have to have sex yanno!!!!!
Feb 9 @ 8:17AM
Sorry pretty boys and girls.. sex for me starts in the mind.. if you aren't at least as intelligent as I am.. and hopefully a bit moreso or differently so.. not going to happen.
Feb 9 @ 9:59AM
Maybe for a one-night stand....otherwise no. For me, if someone has the personality of a rock but is very attractive, I think those looks are wasted because they might as well be ugly, as far as I'm concerned.
Feb 9 @ 9:59AM
Heck yes.
I had a FWB who looked kinda like...... yoda. But, she would buy supper, we'd go back to her place and have at it..... Good food, good f****.... what's not to like?
Feb 9 @ 10:12AM
I seem to almost always go for the eye candy
Feb 9 @ 11:41AM
Sure .... I've had two like that that I can remember.
In small doses, they are fine.
Feb 9 @ 1:31PM
I agree with PTN. There are minimum standards for all four areas, and I feel that we all have them. If somebody is below the line in one area, then the other three do not matter.
Feb 9 @ 8:45PM
I would probably go on the date...just because I'd think there HAD to be something more to this person.
When I found out there wasn't anything but his looks, I'd want to do dirty things with him and then never talk to him again!

Following the Hell in a Cell PPV last night, Ryback posted the following on Twitter…
"Hey here is an idea. How about you guys find 3 things u enjoyed about HIAC and be happy. Being miserable sucks I get it ur fat, but just try"
— Ryback (@Ryback22) October 28, 2013
ORIGINAL REPORT FROM EWN: There is reportedly a lot of heat on Ryback from WWE over the last month. There is a feeling backstage that Ryback's in-ring work has regressed. In addition, many WWE officials apparently feel that Ryback is becoming more of a danger in the ring for his opponents and has been roughing up other workers, such as CM Punk.
Another reason that Ryback has heat is because his recent media appearance have not gone as well as planned. There are reportedly talks that Ryback acts like he does not want to be at the events and is hard to deal with. One source says his "ego has gone through the roof" during the past several months. Another source says that Ryback looks constantly "annoyed" when making appearances for WWE.
There are reports that Vince McMahon is considering taking Paul Heyman off of Ryback, so Heyman can work with another wrestler. A quote that was said about Ryback is "the bloom is off the rose" unless he can turn things around.
That's from the page that I get all my wrestling news and TNA downfall pics from.
Looks like Ryback is a huge douche. I say let Ryback face Lesner so Lesner can show him what really being in pain is like.
Also Ryback has almost zero fan support anymore. Dude is dead.

Writing on the bathroom stalls
By Molly Rossberg
If you've ever looked around a bathroom stall at JMU, chances are you've seen the latest issue of Potty Mouth hanging on the door. The publication features short blurbs that are centered around seven dimensions of wellness: emotional, social, spiritual, physical, occupational, environmental, and intellectual.
Lesley Eicher, a health educator with the University Health Center's Student Wellness and Outreach and the advisor for Potty Mouth, says that Potty Mouth has been around since 2002 when Jen Potson, a College Student and Personnel Administration student, developed it. Since then, it has enjoyed continued success.
"Potty Mouth is wildly popular, posted in bathroom stalls all over campus. It reaches the entire student body, as well as faculty, staff, and visitors," Eicher said.
Its goal is to reach students and address a variety of issues they might be facing. For instance, the most forthcoming issue of Potty Mouth debunks certain myths that are common on college campuses, like drinking coffee will help you sober up (it won't), or that the information you post on social media is private (it's not).
Potty Mouth has developed into a two-credit, semester long course made up of eight to 10 students and a graduate assistant who is responsible for teaching the class. New students are selected to work on the publication each semester. Kathie Hagy, the graduate assistant who teaches the class, says that it has been a fruitful experience for both her and her students.
"My students are creative and enthusiastic, and I've really enjoyed working with them and learning from them this semester," Hagy said.
The class attracts students from different majors with a variety of interests. Junior media arts and design major Olivia Lynch and sophomore health sciences major Lindsay Rossum are both currently enrolled in the Potty Mouth class. Lynch was looking for more outlets to refine her writing skills.
"I loved reading the publication...and became very interested in health topics after taking GKIN 101. As a SMAD major, I knew I needed some hands-on writing experience so I felt that Potty Mouth was perfect for me," Lynch said.
Rossum is, "...extremely passionate about advocating a healthy lifestyle and writing. I knew [Potty Mouth] would be such a great opportunity to combine those things and gain life experience," she said when asked about why she wanted to take the class.
Lynch and Rossum attribute the positive atmosphere of the class to Potty Mouth's continued success. Both of them describe the small class as a "collaborative" and realize the benefits of getting to know their classmates so well.
"[Getting to know each other] has allowed us to focus on editing and brainstorming. I've learned so much from the insight they all bring [to the class]," said Lynch.
When asked about her future career goals, Rossum is sure that being a part of the Potty Mouth staff has helped her along the path to becoming a health educator.
"I've always had a passion for health education, but Potty Mouth has only enhanced my decision to pursue that in the future. I've found my niche," said Rossum.
Catch up on previous issues, apply to join next semester's staff, and follow Potty Mouth on Twitter from jmu.edu/healthcenter.

Spousal Labor Market Effects from Government Health Insurance: Evidence from a Veterans Affairs Expansion
Although government expansion of health insurance to older workers leads to labor supply reductions for recipients, there may be spillover effects on the labor supply of affected spouses who are not covered by the programs. In the simplest model, health insurance on the job is paid for in terms of lower compensation on the job. Receiving health insurance exogenous to employment is akin to a positive income shock for the household, causing total household labor supply to drop. However, it is not clear within the household whether this decrease in labor supply will be borne by both spouses or by a specific spouse. We use a mid-1990s expansion of health insurance for U.S. veterans to provide evidence on the effects of expanding health insurance availability on the labor supply of spouses. Using data from the Current Population Survey, we employ a difference-in-differences strategy to compare the labor market behavior of the wives of older male veterans and non-veterans before and after the VA health benefits expansion to test the impact of public health insurance on these spouses. Our findings suggest that although household labor supply may decrease because of the income effect, the more flexible labor supply of wives allows the wife's labor supply to increase, particularly for those with lower education levels.

Military needs consolidating
"CBO report disputes Navy's ship cost estimates" (July 27) is just a reflection of one branch of the military.
What about the Army and Air Force estimates? It seems cost overruns in the military are just accepted as normal.
In the private sector, companies would be forced to make changes when the existing business model is no longer feasible. Companies consolidate to be more efficient, which unusually includes the management structure.
I'm only suggesting what former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recommended when he discussed consolidation.
There needs to be bipartisan support for consolidating our military structure where one single management group has focus on what's best for the country, not on an individual service branch.

Guns in cross hairs
It is obvious from the letters published in the paper so far about the Aurora shooting that many people and some or your editors think that more gun control is the solution to such shootings. In fact, gun control laws are the reason that such shootings occur.
Gun-control laws have the unintended consequence of creating disarmed victim zones where shooters are free to engage their targets. Indeed, the theater where the shooting occurred also forbids armed citizens, and the local governments in the area are not friendly to armed citizens. This is also true here in San Diego County.
San Diego County also is unfriendly to armed citizens, and our sheriff's policy is to deny licenses for citizens here to carry concealed as is permitted under California law.
James Dodd
In response to Ernie Lippe (Letters, July 25): If a jury of James Holmes' peers find him not guilty, stating that he needed to own an assault rifle to "protect himself from an overbearing government," I will throw my support behind the Second Amendment.
Fran Wilkinson
Honoring sacrifice
If you've driven on I-8 near Campo lately, you probably noticed the new, large memorial highway signs for Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas Jr. near Kitchen Creek Rd. Agent Rosas was brutally ambushed and murdered three years ago this month by Mexican illegal immigrant hit men less than 100 yards from the border fence near Campo. This is the first memorial highway in California dedicated to a slain border agent, and hopefully the last. Our border security advocacy group was proud to have spearheaded this effort to memorialize Agent Rosas with a named highway. State Sen. Joel Anderson and local Border Patrol Union 1613 also played key roles in getting the memorial highway approved and signs installed.

Valor watered down
In response to "Court: Lying about medals not illegal" (June 29): In the 1960s, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and I swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign, and domestic." Along the way, I was recognized for my hard work and leadership, and I can honestly say I earned every ribbon and medal. Furthermore, I was privileged to have served with many dedicated and faithful Marines.
In the military, words like honor, courage, and respect carry weight and meaning, but with Justice Anthony Kennedy's majority opinion, those words got watered down. Two things are going to happen: 1) Veterans will begin to police themselves and 2) I will work with Congress to write/pass a Stolen Valor Act that is constitutional. No one should be able to lie about their service for personal gain. Our troops pay too high a price; there needs to be a deterrent.

Interesting world you've got there. Are you looking for someone to draw a new map based on the one you have, or just add textures to it? The thread title suggests the latter, but if you want it to be in the style of the Essos map you linked, it'll probably require the former. Also, I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding here, but the payment you are offering, is it to come up with place names? I might be interested in taking this commission depending on the answers to those questions
Thank you for your interest of my request.
I don't know what is the easy to make. Add textures on the map here ? Or draw something look like of the map of Essos ? You can choice what you want.
I have thinked the first choice is more easy.
I am not sure to have understand your questions for places names. The payment, I use my imagination for create a new names places and else if you have need names places for yours maps ou something else. I don't know if I answer your question, I hope.
If need for the map, I can send you the map without anything (Just the outlines of continents, rivers and forets) if you beings interested.
Sent you an e-mail.

A London banker (Russell Crowe) inherits his uncle's (Albert Finney) vineyard in Provence, then meets a long-lost cousin from America who claims the property is hers.
Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
" A Good Year builds so much fairy-tale contrivance with such boisterous high spirits that it's exhausting to keep feeling good about feeling good. "
" A Good Year is a chance for Crowe and his Gladiator director Ridley Scott to slow down and appreciate the good things, like beautiful women, good wine and a country home in France. "
" A Good Year is like a promising wine that's a bit new to the bottle. It goes down rough, but there's this marvelous aftertaste on the palate. "
" A Good Year is never less than visually ravishing, its warm, inviting vistas of the French countryside and its unhurried, pleasant vibe putting the viewer in the same frame of mind as Max. "
" A Good Year may not be vintage stuff, but it goes down fairly smoothly. "
" A pleasant jaunt through one of the most beautiful places on the planet -- encased in a story that ends up making you feel that all is right with the world. "
" A shamelessly enjoyable retread, an ode to la belle vie that has been well turned on a factory spindle. "
" There are some pretty funny things in there. "
" "
" A Good Year feels as if it takes a year to watch, and not a very good year at that. "
" A Good Year, an innocuous, feel-good movie that reunites Russell Crowe with the director Ridley Scott, is a three-P movie: pleasant, pretty and predictable. One might add piddling. "
" Close your eyes. And now imagine the whole thing re-cast and shot by Stanley Donen back in, say, 1962, with Cary Grant and Leslie Caron. "
" Crowe, a superb dramatic actor, is congenitally incapable of humour, especially when he tries slapstick. "
" Despite some stunning visuals and a lot of nice moments, the finished product feels like the work of an actor and director who are out of their element. "
" Full of pretentious grape-droppings on how wine is like life, only tastier and with a bolder finish, A Good Year is at best elusive to the palate. At worst, it's a bad pressing of a vintage that has no reisling to exist. "
" Like a fragile Provence wine left too long in the sun, Ridley Scott's romantic comedy A Good Year spoiled somewhere between the publication of Peter Mayle's novel and this cockamamie adaptation. "
" On a rainy day, A Good Year may be welcome fantasy; the question is whether anyone will remember it after the clouds have parted. "
" Russell Crowe has many talents, but a gift for light comedy is not one of them. "
" The comedy A Good Year provides a good excuse for insisting that actors and directors are better off playing to their strong suits. "
" The overall effect is one of a sumptuously laid table where the main course is overcooked. "
See all A Good Year Reviews
Gladiator II? No. Under the Tuscan Sun II? Maybe.
The post-Gladiator repairing of director Ridley Scott (Black Hawk Down, Alien) and Russell Crowe (Cinderella Man, The Insider), A Good Year, was roundly panned by critics. Although, having seen it, I'm not quite sure why.
A Good Year stars Russell Crowe as Max Skinner, the most cutthroat of all high-powered London bond traders. He lives fast and hard, making devilishly risky trades for which he is rewarded handsomely. He eats the best food, drinks the best wine, sleeps with the prettiest women, and surrounds himself in a sleek modern London of glass and steel.
When Max's Uncle Henry (played by Albert Finney) dies, Max inherits his estate and vineyard in France. He goes to Provence to settle the estate with the intention of selling it for as much a profit as possible. But its not long before the memories of Max's past childhood summers with his uncle and the temptations of the lush, relaxing Provence lifestyle start to change him.
A Good Year was billed as a romantic comedy, and I think that might be the first place it went wrong. If it was supposed to be a full-on, set piece-having, pratfall-taking romantic comedy, then, yes, it fails miserably. Frankly, it's not that funny. Yes, there are some funny bits, and yes, there is a love interest (Marion Cotillard), but that isn't even the center of the story. Nor does it seem to be asking for the laughs the way traditional comedies do.
To me, A Good Year read as more of a romance/dramedy, with an unusual tone (and fish-out-of-water journey) reminiscent of Under the Tuscan Sun. If that is the case, then it works just fine. No, the story isn't going to shake any foundations, but people talk about it like it molested an altar boy. And that just ain't right.
For my part, A Good Year kept me interested well enough the whole time. The relationship between Albert Finney (Amazing Grace, Big Fish) and talented child actor Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland) as Young Max was especially compelling, and made me want to have a cool older uncle that taught me about wine and how to forge his signature. And Ridley Scott directed an aesthetically beautiful piece, creating a strong visual contrast between Max's world in London and Henry's world in France. Although, how can you not make a beautiful movie when it's set in Provence?
ReelzChannel Rating:
What's on the Disc:
A Good Year has some noteworthy extras. I could do without the trailers and TV spots (why do they bother including those?), but there is a cute little "Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott Promo" featurette with the two of them talking briefly about the movie. Scott also combined the traditional "making of" and director's commentary into the interesting "Postcards from Provence."
But the pièce de resistance is the three music videos by Russell Crowe and The Ordinary Fear of God. I've long heard that Crowe fancied himself a singer, but now I finally got the chance to see he is indeed as awful as rumors claimed. The songs ("One Good Year," "Testify," and the rancidly titled "Weight of a Man") are bad and his voice is worse. But boy is it fun to watch him marching around like Bono, taking himself all seriously in the hideous videos. Score one for guilty pleasures.

A Stack Dump of Me
by jeremy on Jul.12, 2010, under Random Yappings, Writing
Did you know that Mercedes Yardley featured me on her blog last Friday as a part of her Writers in Masks series?
Well, you do now.
And, the more you know…
Kennae Geht a W00tW00t?
by jeremy on Jul.07, 2010, under Music, Random Yappings, Reading, Writing
What a lazy-ass week it's been…the kids were visiting grandparents for a week, and I pinched a nerve in my back—the perfect storm of not-doing-shitness. And, I didn't. Well, OK. I did stuff, but I didn't go to the gym.
We went out to dinner several times, saw a few movies (found Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in a little theater for a buck fifty!), ogled some of the weirder things in town like the new Aria Resort and the First Friday art festival (only took us six years to get there).
Probably the most unique thing we did was saw my Twitter-friend (a strange new classification of relationship in which almost all of my human interactions now reside) Marian Call perform at a tiny hair salon cum art gallery downtown. Marian is a self-funded, unsigned (on purpose, I think) nerd-folk-jazz musician from Alaska who is touring all fifty states this year with a PA, a rain stick, an eighty year old typewriter, and her car.
To be honest, jazz/folk isn't really my bag, daddy-o…but, I can honestly report that I loved it…really. She has an amazing voice, a tight, professional sound, and is a great songwriter. Her guitar player Scott was equally amazing, and I was a bit sad when they played their last song.
She has an entire album dedicated to Joss Whedon's Firefly. 'nuff said.
I highly recommend you take a minute and check her schedule and see when she's in your burg…buy her music, and give her the love that independent artists with tons of heart and grit deserve.
Plus, she's just been invited to perform at W00tstock, and to sit on the Geek Girl panel at SDCC. Go see her so you can say you knew her way back when.
The WIP is still ticking along…I hit 1200 a few days, and zip other days. Zen. Enjoying it very much. But, as I write it, I keep seeing things that I should have done in Amity, which makes me question how good Amity could possibly be. I hate losing confidence in my own work, but I don't want to release something that reeks of shite. I don't know. I still have about fifty agent queries out, so time will tell. I may re-read it, and decide I still love it.
And speaking of geeks, I snuck in Craig Ferguson's auto-biography on July 4, in between a hike and watching fireworks. A quick, inspirational read…very timely read for Independence Day, as it turned out. Ferguson is, it appears, as much one of us writer-folk as he is a comedian (he has another published book, I guess). That makes him family. So, go get him a bowl of soup, for Chriminy's sake!

Truth Conquers
What happened to the unconditional support that we once gave to our country and now reserve only for our favorite sports teams? Why is anti-America speech cheered today?
I asked myself these questions as I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial. The Memorial was an extremely moving experience. Within the museum, actual Navy archives from years prior to the Pearl Harbor attack were on display. It was amazing to see the high level of respect for tradition the U.S. Navy had during the World War II era.
For example, there where formal ceremonies whenever a ship brought on a new commanding officer. Navy brass attended in full dress uniforms, while donning replica hats of the first U.S. Navy officers. This showed the respect the current officers had for the hard work and sacrifice the original officers made to make the U.S. Navy the most dominant power in the seven seas.
The military goes through great lengths to teach new recruits to have pride in the fact that it is the greatest military force ever, and instills the respect for its history on how it gained such status.
As an example, I had a friend named Sean that during college rarely attended class, was lazy, and drank at least 10 beers a day. He decided to straighten his life up by joining the U.S. Marine Corps. Reserves-and boy, did it work! When Sean returned from boot camp, he regularly attended class, was motivated, and...well, still drank at least 10 beers a day.
We took Sean to a comedy club in Hollywood on his first night back from boot camp. The first comedian complained about his miserable marriage, the next made fun of horrible L.A. drivers and the third decided to be creative and complain about his miserable marriage. We were drinking beer, having a good time, until the fourth comedian came up on stage. He began to bad mouth America and everything it stands for. The audience laughed and nodded in agreement, but my newly initiated Marine friend was so upset at the anti-American sentiments, that he charged the comedian on stage. He needed to be held back, which wasn't an easy task!
In the aftermath, many of us college guys speculated that Sean was brainwashed by the military and we laughed at the thought that the ideals of America were worth making a scene and fighting for. 14 years later and just returning from the Pearl Harbor Memorial, in Hawaii, I am proud of Sean's patriotism and loyalty to our country. I have to believe that every single soldier who lost his life that tragic day, December 7, 1941, would have been just as offended and defensive as my friend was that night.
It seems like today, unless you are on a U.S. military base, in an oppressed country, or in middle America, it is trendy to bad mouth America and what it stands for. Why is this? Our generation lacks the patriotism previous generations have so proudly displayed.
Why have Schools stopped emphasizing what an incredible accomplishment it was for our forefathers to build a country that for the first time, everyone was granted the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
This generation's educational system, movie makers and coffee house banterers spend the majority of time focusing on the flaws of our past and fail to remember the sacrifice given by good people in hopes to make a great nation. Memorial Day is not just a vacation day for shopping, but also a day to remember those that gave their lives to protect our freedoms.
I think many Americans treat American ideals (the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) similar to how a spoiled child treats his material possessions. We don't appreciate their value because we did not make personal sacrifices to gain them.
Yes, we have flaws. I am not saying America is perfect. But while Americans are complaining that we are killing trees, there is genocide in Rwanda. While Americans passed the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery in 1865, there is still slavery in Sudan. While America's poor may not be getting enough welfare money to buy an extra box of Frosted Flakes, each day there are thousands of people dying of starvation in too many nations to mention. Can we keep things in a little bit of perspective? Our time may be better spent dedicated to fighting for the truly impoverished and tortured. There are several agencies around the globe that would love to have us help fight the true evils of the world.
In the meantime, verbalize your appreciation for our forefathers and the hard work in making this nation the greatest there ever was. For America is not like Jack and the Beanstalk. The prosperity, freedom and rights you and I are reaping didn't grow by magic seeds thrown into the ground.

If You Want To Dress Like An Advanced Style Lady...
When I moved to New York from San Diego in 2008, I took everything I had learned from my grandma with me. This is probably the reason I started to approach older women on the street(my grandmother had recently passed) asking them questions about their personal style, and wanting to share their stories with others. One of the things I noticed was that many of them were wearing armloads of bracelets-- Or was it me who was drawn to something I had seen in my past, a moment once shared with my beloved Grandma Bluma?

Lovely. Bracelets have a exotic, tribal feel to them. I wore all of my mother's bracelets for my wedding reception when I changed into a saree.

Bracelet LOVE! I'm imagining the glorious sound those bracelets make when these ladies gesture.
I, too, had a grandmother that was all about jewelry. She would give me very nice pieces as gifts when I was a child. I would put them in my little jewelry box for safe keeping, but never wear them for fear of losing them. I would only take them out from time to time to admire them.
One day, grandma asked why I wasn't wearing the jewelry she gave me. I told her I was afraid of losing it. She told me to wear it and if I lost it, she would replace it. It's from her that I learned that you should never consider something too precious to wear, especially if you love it.
Your ladies today as so beautiful; can't stop looking!
- May 3, 2013 at 3:31 PM
I am enjoying this post. My age has advanced while my style has definitely retreated! These pictures remind me of the years in my life when I loved, collected and wore bracelets a lot. I think I never reached the style heights of any of these ladies but I do know the pleasure of beautiful bracelets that suit one perfectly. Maybe it's time to go rummage around in my boxes!

Such I lovely story! I used to do the same thing with my grandmother, every time I went to visit her we would go through her jewelry collection together and she would tell me lots of stories. I loved putting on all the bracelets my tiny arm could hold!

There is nothing like a ton of bangles and bracelets. They turn an ordinary outfit into wild! One of the librarians at the Ottawa library has about 20 silver bangles on each wrist. Fabulous!

Hi Ari. What a wonderful post this is and wow those bracelets are awesome. I paint bangles and some of them looked like some of mine. Of course they weren't but wow! I better get back to painting bangles, there may be someone out there who would love to wear one of mine. :)(promoting myself, shame on me.) Beautiful women, awesome bangles and excellent post about it all. Thank you.

Wish wish wish I could be more of a jewelry person. It's the last thing I think of, and if I do end up wearing anything more than my plain wedding band I fuss and play with it until I look like a baby with a teething ring!
I raise my hat (another thing I never wear) to the classy women who can pull off all the bling and still come out shining more than their outfits.

This is one of my favorite stories ever, Ari. I'm not a bangle girl myself -- my hands are so small most bangles slide right off my hands. But I would love a photo print of each and every shot to decorate my boudoir with vicarious pleasure.

You are so blessed to have had such a close, and inspiring, relationship with your grandmother. I'm sure that each time you see an older woman wearing an armload of bracelets, there is a part of you that connects it to Bluma. All of these women look wonderful with their own personal arm parties!

I quadruple love the way a bunch of bracelets look, but every time I try to wear it I find them to be so encumbering! I wonder if there is a way to get past that. At the moment I can only handle crazy earrings and not-to-heavy necklaces.
I adore your blog.

This is one of my favorites, Ari. I love that you featured one accessory and showed how your wonderful advanced style women accessorize with them. Great work, and wonderful that you celebrate a group of women who often get lost in the media's rage for youth, which is often not half so interesting as what you present. Thanks!

Re: Last movie impressions
the best aliens film is avp!
Seriously, i like the aliens movies not much and can enjoy this action bullshit more.
The pictures of the Norwegian landscape were wonderful and it had some funny moments, but the melancholy story, with Odd Horten growing into his new live as a retired train driver, was odd, which can be entertaining, but in this case overall boring.
Son of Rambow
Bridge to Terabithia
was better. That movie left reality to enter fantasy world, but here the story of two very different boys, which are sort of "sweding" First Blood/ Rambo, work off cliches of religion, family, friendship, bullies. It all felt too constructed/forced to me.
99 Francs
I don't like the main actor since i suffered through the first half of
Brice de Nice
, so that was definitely no good start, and he proved to be dislikable as a somewhat artificial figure, more than his supposed to be an asshole role should, and while the movie had some really good ideas to get to its point and the visuals were well done, it missed somehow to do its consumerism/manipulation statement on a Fight Club level.
Jersey Girl
not really superb, but ok
Waltz with Bashir
perfect animation style.
Like above mentioned Ararat it deals with the memory on a war. In the course of the movie the character regains his lost memories of his youth in this war and reveals his participation on massacres.
A Disney movie that takes itself and also Disney history not serious. That was fine, but nevertheless it should have had more singing scenes or more fairy tale moments in reality to entertain more.

For the price you can't beat it. Socks are just as comfortable as the other brands and half the cost. I like them because they are super long that way your boot doesn't rub on your bare skin.Read All Reviews

They are taller than normal socks but Barely fit above my knee, not like the fox knee brace socks or others that come up further. Also fit very tight. Wouldnt buy againRead All Reviews

These worked well and lasted through several washings. They are snug on big calves. I have stopped using them and switched back to the older brown / black Answer socks that were thicker and looser. If one has normal calves, then these would be fine.Read All Reviews

The material is nice and thick, and did help my feet stay slightly cooler than normal. The only issue for me is the length, they are too short to go above my knee so they stay slightly scrunched just below it.Read All Reviews

Florida State wide receiver Richard Goodman is still suspended indefinitely for his role in last years student union fight, but his lawyer hopes that will change in the very near future.
Samuel Lopez who represents Goodman told Eyewitness news that, another witness has emerged who has identified a fraternity member as the one that swung the chair that injured a female victim. Lopez also says that witness confirmed that a fraternity member hit Goodman in the face with a trophy.
"We are very optimistic that justice will prevail in this investigation," said Lopez.
Goodman was arrested on May 26th and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after a witness identified him as the one that swung the chair.

According to ESRB, this game contains: Fantasy Violence
Parents shouldn't have any concerns about the content in The Falsebound Kingdom. Yu-Gi-Oh! is a game aimed at kids who're slightly older than the Pokémon crowd and even has a cartoon of its own. What should concern parents is the fact that the game isn't exactly user-friendly. The manual is rarely helpful, and the lack of an in-game tutorial only compounds the problem. It's really not a "pick-up-and-play" experience.
Yu-Gi-Oh! fans will probably enjoy seeing a new adventure for their favorite characters, but when they find out the game is a pseudo-strategy RPG, they're likely to be disappointed. Those looking for the series' traditional card battling will want to look elsewhere.
Casual gamers can safely skip this one. If you're interested in Yu-Gi-Oh!, you might want to give it a rent (although you'd be better served by playing one of the card game based titles), but if you don't know a Yugi from a Pikachu, then you're not going to have much interest in seeing this one through to the end.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers can pick this title up without fear—there's text everywhere, just like the old days before the advent of voice acting.

A drop in December retail sales sparked fears of a recession sending the markets tumbling to a sharply lower close with the Dow plummeting 277 points to 12,501. Nasdaq skidded 61 points to 2418.
On the upside
An affiliate of private equity firm Thoma Cressey Bravo offered $66 million to acquire software company Manatron (Nasdaq: MANA).
Vignette (Nasdaq: VIGN) expects fourth quarter revenue to surpass estimates.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) initiated merger discussions with Northwest Airlines (NYSE: NWA) and UAL (NYSE: UAUA).
On the downside
Hibbett Sports (Nasdaq: HIBB) blamed a weak economy for lowering its fourth quarter guidance.
Fair Isaac (NYSE: FIC) slashed its full year earnings outlook and revenue forecast citing the ailing home mortgage industry.
New York & Co. (NYSE: NWY) cut its fourth quarter earnings outlook due to disappointing same store sales.
In the broad market, declining issues outpaced advancers by a margin of more than 3 to 1 on both the NYSE and on Nasdaq. The Russell 2000 which tracks small cap stocks plunged 15 points to 697.

The New New Normal
How members of Congress are using the Osama Bin Laden killing to prove they've been right all along about [insert issue here].
The killing of Osama Bin Laden has done something miraculous: It has proved everyone in Washington right. Did you think the war in Afghanistan was a waste of effort, or did you think it was the right war at the right time? Did you defend George W. Bush's interrogation policies, or did you raise a glass when Barack Obama ended them? Whatever you were saying, you were dead on. Take two examples from the past 24 hours.
"This idea—we caught Bin Laden because of waterboarding—I think is a misstatement," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to reporters on Tuesday. "This whole concept of how we caught Bin Laden is a lot of work over time by different people, and putting a puzzle together." He emphasized it again. "I do not believe this is a time to celebrate waterboarding. I believe this is a time to celebrate hard work."
This was not what Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., had been saying a day earlier.
"We obtained that information through waterboarding," the chairman of the House Homeland Security told Bill O'Reilly. "So for those who say that waterboarding doesn't work, who say it should be stopped and never used again, we got vital information which directly led us to Bin Laden."
Washington has just seen Obama approve a successful, extra-sovereign hit on the head of al-Qaida. What does that do to two years—more than that, if you go back to the campaign—of the hawks' consensus that Obama's feckless war-on-terror strategy can't possibly work? How does it change the way the war on terror is conducted? The capture of Bin Laden is a rare thing: an event that inspires victory celebrations in the streets, without the sort of changes that usually come after a victory.
Start with waterboarding and "enhanced interrogations." Supporters of the old Bush policy started spinning the Bin Laden capture as a validation pretty soon after the news broke. "It's an enhanced interrogation program that we put in place back in our first term," former Vice President Dick Cheney told ABC News. "It wouldn't be surprising if in fact that program produced results that ultimately contributed to the success of this venture." And on Tuesday night, pressed by Brian Williams, Leon Panetta confirmed that some of the information that led to Bin Laden—a manhunt that stretched over a decade—was gleaned from "enhanced interrogation techniques."
How might this have worked? On March 1, 2003, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad was captured. He was interrogated, but according to a report declassified in 2009, he was a fount of mostly useless information until he was broken by 183 waterboardings and more than a week of sleep deprivation. After that, he was pliable. And according to the Associated Press, it was KSM who provided the nickname that eventually allowed the United States to locate Osama Bin Laden's courier.
Did the information come because KSM was waterboarded, or could you say that KSM was waterboarded at one point in time, and he provided key information at another point in time? There's just enough fog there to allow everyone to walk out of this with a fact he or she likes. On Tuesday, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein repeatedly told reporters that the information that led to Bin Laden did not come from enhanced interrogation. "I happen to know a good deal about how those interrogations were conducted," said Feinstein. "And in my mind, nothing justifies the procedures that were used."

Grizzles maul Hiram Johnson in playoff opener
By: Staff Report
Nine GB goals in first round DII contest
Showing the same dominating form that carried them to a perfect 12-0 record in the Sierra Foothill League during the regular season, the Granite Bay High girls soccer team removed all doubt very early in a 9-0 thrashing of Hiram Johnson in Friday's opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs. The Grizzlies played their game and refused to give any hope to an obviously overmatched opponent. "We possessed extremely well and moved the ball with precision," said Granite Bay coach Chris Roberts. "I was very pleased with how the girls played the style of soccer they're accustomed to playing. In a lopsided game there is always room for letdown and sloppy play." Granite Bay used their ability to shoot from long range to open up its passing game. Senior Anne Taylor, freshman Christy Cooper and sophomore defender Chelsea Putman all had great shots from outside of 20 yards to open up the field. The scoring almost all came as the result of crossing passes into the scoring area as the Grizzlies unleashed their ball control attack for the full 80 minutes. "No player tried to take on the other team alone," said Roberts. "They worked well together and found each other in open positions for shots." Putman scored three goals to lead the way, as Sarah Kendall also found the net multiple times with two goals. Taylor, Erin Pellerin, Becca Cox and Cooper each had one tally. Taylor, the Grizzlies' corner kick specialist chipped in with three assists, and Pellerin, Alexis Knudtson and Kendall each had one. The shutout went to Maria Dela Cruz in the net, and Granite Bay unveiled its defensive depth with strong performances from Christine Rowland, Kayla Karlsson, Anna Richter and Careese Little. The Grizzlies will play in the nightcap on section semifinal night Wednesday at Folsom High School. The opponent will be the winner of Friday's game between Oak Ridge and Rosemont. A pair of familiar squads will meet in the night's first semifinal as Roseville and Rocklin of the SFL will face off one more time.

First American RESPA Appeal Dismissed by Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of First American Corporation in First American Financial Services v. Edwards, which challenges whether a claim alleging RESPA violations can be brought in the absence of actual financial injury to a plaintiff. The Court had earlier agreed to address the issue, but in an unsigned opinion, it reversed course and dismissed the appeal and let stand a Ninth Circuit and lower court determination that a plaintiff has a standing to seek a recovery under RESPA Sec. 8 (a) without having suffered any monetary loss. NAR had earlier argued in an amicus brief with other groups that the Ninth Circuit Court opinion is inconsistent with the Constitutional requirement that a plaintiff suffer actual, concrete injury to bring a case in to federal court. NAR Continues to work to insure that NAR members are treated consistently and fairly under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.

My Famebaby favorite dad choice of 2007 was born in California, met childhood friend Matt Damon in Massachusetts, is married to Jennifer Garner and has a daughter named Violet.
Drum roll please. It's Ben Affleck of course! Ben to me is someone who you could easily see in a sandwich shop and have him open the door for you while the mayo on your sandwich drips down your quivering legs.
When he paired up with Jennifer Lopez, I thought they were, as the Brits say, chalk and cheese. I think Jennifer Garner is his perfect match. She with the all American good girl image and he with the scruffy jeans and five o'clock shadow. So it was no surprise that with their good genes they bred the cutest Hollywood baby!
Award winning screenwriter, actor and now director, Ben is the all around good guy. The one you want to be the father of your child.
He's also a supporter of a non-profit organization called A-T Children's Project and has raised awareness for the disease with no cure.
So I raise my champagne glass to you Ben! Happy 2008 and keep breeding cute babies in the future!

Michaelis Ranch
The U.S. Department of the Interior lists the M.G. Michaelis Ranch in the National Register of Historic Places.
Our History
Max returned to Texas in 1879 to make a name for himself. For the first few years after his return, Max lived and worked in New Braunfels, Texas, where he became an accomplished breeder of donkeys and horses. During this time, he helped the King Ranch build their famous herds. While working for the Kings, Max adopted the "Running M" brand for himself, by flipping the King Ranch's "Running W" upside down, creating an M for Michaelis.
In 1881, Mr. and Mrs. Captain Fergus Kyle deeded land for a town site along the newly constructed International - Great Northern (I. & G. N.) railroad line, and the town of Kyle was born. Kyle immediately became a rail center where local farms and ranches could ship their products to market, and Max saw this as an opportunity to establish a ranch of his own. Captain Kyle and another resident by the name of Giesecke had served with Theodore in the Civil War, and Max quickly became friends with them. When Max first moved to Kyle, he and Mr. Giesecke opened a mercantile store together, and in the spring of 1898, Max purchased a 288-acre tract of land from Captain Kyle about four miles west of town. The Michaelis Ranch was born.
In [ca.]1936, the enormous barn on the Michaelis Ranch caught fire and burned to the ground, killing dozens of donkeys and horses. The fire was so immense that it was seen from the town of Kyle, about four miles to the east. The Kyle volunteer fire department arrived in time to save the ranch house, and Max donated a building he owned across from the Kyle City Hall for a fire station in gratitude. The loss of the barn and its contents, including a collection of antique buggies, is said to have broken Max's heart. He never rebuilt the huge barn, choosing instead to erect several smaller barns, sheds, and pens to fill the roles once served by the barn that had burned down. Most of these post-fire structures still exist on the ranch today.
When Max Sr. died, two-thirds of the Michaelis Ranch passed to his son, who still lived on El Fortín at the time, and the remaining third passed to his sister-in-law, Corinne Huettig. Corinne assumed control of the ranch and managed it until 1955. Corinne proved to be an astute businesswoman and operated the ranch with only one man to help her until she relinquished the job to Max Jr. in 1955. Corinne Huettig died in 1963 and was followed by her sister, Lillie Michaelis, in 1967. Soon after his father's death, Max Jr. purchased the entire Pugibet herd of purebred domestic Charolais cattle for use on the Michaelis Ranch and El Fortín. He continued to develop a strong herd of domestic Charolais that are now well known around the world. He widely promoted the breed, and his efforts were rewarded. Charolais was hailed as a superior breed of cattle, and its popularity soared in the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s. Max Jr. died in 1976, leaving the Michaelis Ranch to his son, Max Michaelis III. Today, Max III, his wife Sharon, and their two sons, Carl and Max Michaelis IV continue to work the ranch as its founder, Max Michaelis, Sr. did when he acquired the property more than a century ago.
