Today, I met with my Bolivian friend, who's vacationing here for a few weeks. Eager to show him how welcoming we are in the USA, I took him home and introduced him to my parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "Bolivia? That's in Europe, right? We saved your asses in World War 2." FML

You would obviously use a saw and do it by hand.
Don't hope for smaller attackmen, wish for broader shoulders.
You're gonna need a beaver, and some peanut butter
Almost finished:http://crystalmeshlax.comIn Mods We Trust
go to home depot or lowes and ask them to cut it to the specified measurements they would do it for pretty cheap
dont trade with bulldoglax2013 he is a scammer
Bring me cheap broken OG Blades
There are other ways, however as one that makes and sells wooden shafts I won't fully give them away...I don't believe Home Depot would do it for you as they cut down planks of wood but won't do angled cuts. You don't actually need a tablesaw to be honest, just need to be clever. If you try and can't get it, contact me

It's be pretty difficult without a table saw. The problem is that you need to cut the edges to a pretty precise angle, although you can always trim down the end a bit to fit a head on, or tape it up if it's just a bit too thin. I think you could ask any carpenter if they could do it for you, as it's really not that difficult. You could ask a home depot/ lumber yard, but I'm not sure if they'd do that sort of thing.
Coach: "Ready to play some LAX?" Kid: "What's Lax?" Why are you reading this?
any luck? gonna try this tomorrow
Keep it real, G.
I would say that your best bet is to use a planar saw and a table saw. I have made around 10 shafts before, and I would say that if you follow the TUT and find someone who can help you out, I would say that you are golden
There already is a tutorial by "Hackstall"
a lot of patience and a power sander is needed.
I agree with suggestion for Home Depot or Lowes. They have thick, round dowels and other pieces of wood that would suffice. A hobby shop or specialty wood shop might also have a crazy wood lover who would love to tackle just a project. Make sure it is something very strong. Try Koa wood. Give it a nice stain, sweet grip tape, and then please post a reply to this forum so we can all lust after your new creation. :)
Don't know your age, but one of my middle school kids worked with his shop teacher to create a wooden d-pole. Turned out great. He got credit for a project and got a cool shaft to use.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Roberto Antonio, 52, lives with his life partner and their children. He is a farmer who cultivates corn. He already has a lot of experience as a farmer, and he is also a good seller. He has a lot of customers because he sells quality products at reasonable prices, and his service is excellent. Roberto is a hardworking man who is dedicated to his ideals and is always seeking a better path to get ahead. In his last harvest, he did not get the earnings he hoped for. He was not able to sell all of his crops, because he lost some of them due the weather. At this time, he wants to recover so he will plant a plot of land with corn. However, he needs to invest in supplies, and so he is requesting a loan from INTEGRAL that will allow him to buy corn seeds, fertilizers and manure. Roberto Antonio does not have a credit history, but he has good references characterizing him as a very responsible person. He is sure that with this work, he will be able to pay off this loan. Also, he has faith that he will be able to provide his family with a full life.

Meridian, Miss.
East Mississippi State Hospital hosted its annual Christmas parade Thursday.
The local police and fire departments participated in the parade along with several other businesses and agencies in the community.
Each individual unit of the hospital also decorated a float for the event.
Hospital officials say this is a great way for the community to get involved and help get people in the Christmas spirit.
"This is a great opportunity for our patients to experience the Christmas time," said teacher April Luke. "They are not able to have the opportunity to be at our Christmas parade that our community has on Saturday, so what we are able to do is bring this opportunity to them here on our campus."
Grand marshal for this year's parade was Meridian Mayor Percy Bland.

The salon is located in Chiswick, we went on a Sunday so parking was very easy. On entering the salon we were greeted by the owner who was very pleasant and explained the process, making us both feel at ease (as this was our first floatation experience). The 'treatment' itself was lovely, music is played for the first approx fifteen minutes to relax you, it worked as I fell asleep (!) and on waking at the end felt completely rejuvenated and would definitely recommend it.
The Hydrohealing clinic was very welcoming and fresh. As it was my first time to have the treatment, i was a little nervous but was put at ease straight away. The procedure wasn't unpleasant, and the therapist talked thru the process as we went along, giving lots of information and advice. I felt the benefits almost straight away and would have no hesitations about returning or recommending the salon and procure to anyone else.
It took a while to find the salon; slab bang in the middle of china town. The salon wasn;t the usual type of setting or tranquil ambience...and the massage rooms looked a little 'dodgy'. Having said that the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The massage altho, not a technique I was used to, was good and felt relaxed afterwards. The treatment was VERY cheap and def worth it.
The Six Senses Spa and the Pan Peninsular was lovely; a very luxurious setting and friendly staff. The entrance is impressive and the quality continues into the treatment rooms and facilities. We went for a massage and weren't disappointed, afterwards we went for a dip, steam and sauna – the perfect end to a hectic work day. It may be tricky to find by car but I had no trouble by tube – go armed with a map/directions and don't rely on sat-nav which seems to get confused in those parts.
I went for four Epic Fit classes bought via a mob deal so amazing value! The classes are an hour long and your don't stop moving for a moment. They have a number of classes throughout the evening so it's easy to find one that fits into your schedule. Overall I would recommend epic fit, the time passes quicly and before you know it you had a gruelling but satisfying workout all in just one hour – perfect!
We visited the Heavenly Day Spa and had use of the facilities along with a hot stone massage which was lovely and very relaxing. We were fortunate enough to have the place to ourselves which was lovely and lucky as the place is very small. There is a fantastic mini-resistance-pool which gave a much better than expected work out. The staff are very friendly and the treatments and treatment rooms very therapeutic.

A Bit of Cha-Cha-Cha Helps Relationship Rah-Rah-Rah
At first I was taken aback.
I'm not sure where it came from, but my friend felt the urge to share something personal over coffee.
He and his wife had been to a marriage counsellor.
I was surprised because they seemed happy enough together; he loves his wife and his wife loves him.
Then he explained why they need counselling. The kids are grown up and gone and suddenly they are in the season of life our annual backyard visitors, Mr. and Mrs. Robin, experience every summer.
Their nest is empty.
Now, the middle-aged couple -- what the heck let's call them the Robins -- only have each other to care for. And, as their marriage counsellor told them, they need to find a way to reconnect, so the counsellor suggested they look for something they could enjoy doing together.
Something like ballroom dancing.
Actually, when you think about it -- not that most husbands want to -- ballroom dancing has a lot going for it as a substitute for formal marriage therapy. After all, it takes two to tangle.
And two to tango.
Which is sort of what a South African post-graduate psychology student named Ramona Hanke explained to the world in a master's thesis on the subject back in 2006. She entitled it: The Impact of Ballroom Dancing on the Marriage Relationship.
As it happened, Hanke had stumbled upon the concept prior to university while teaching the tango, the waltz and the cha-cha-cha.
Hanke found evidence during her research of dance as movement therapy in various psychology-related areas, but she couldn't find any literature on dancing as marriage therapy.
In her paper, Hanke reflected on her time as a ballroom dance instructor and how out of step couples were when they arrived for dance lessons. Over time, though, not only did the relationship between the husbands and wives become more intimate, but so did her own relationship with the couples she was teaching.
Part of the closeness had to do with connecting on the floor, but the dance studio also encouraged togetherness between students and teacher at weekend social events. Soon, Hanke was sharing her students' birthdays and weddings; their pregnancies and job promotions; their dreams and their aspirations. But she also experienced their arguments, illnesses, miscarriages, discoveries of infertility and family deaths. And as Hanke's relationships with the couples deepened, the couples began to reveal more and more of "the true nature of their marriage and themselves. …

Which Countries Are the East's Most...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
The Various Segments that Comprise the...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
EMD Millipore has obtained rights to a technique for protein research from Cleveland Clinic. The new method is intended to reduce the time required for staining tissue sections from 12 hours to 30 minutes.
The technique was developed using Millipore's SNAP i.d.® Protein Detection System. Scientists at Millipore and Cleveland Clinic are in the process of validating the method for diverse tissue types and fixation protocols.
"By reducing tissue analysis time to minutes, the SNAP i.d. system can increase research throughput and speed up protocol optimization, enabling researchers to make faster decisions about their results," comments Don O'Neil, director of product management at Millipore.
The SNAP i.d. system from Millipore uses vacuum to actively drive reagents through membrane-fixed tissue sections. This reportedly increases exposure of tissue antigens to blocking reagents, antibodies, and wash buffers. Traditional tissue staining involves mounting sections on glass slides and relies on diffusion for reagent permeation through the sections.
EMD Millipore was born out of Merck KGaA's $7 billion acquisition of Millipore. It was announced in March and completed in July. EMD Millipore is the life science division, combing Merck's EMD Chemicals business in New Jersey with Millipore. It is known as Merck Millipore outside the U.S. and Canada.

Reforming risky bonds
Q: Did you reach the Poway people? Because they're defending (their actions). They are adamant that they know what they're doing.
MCALLISTER: We've heard that, but we haven't received an invitation to visit with them yet. My intent is to try to meet with every school district and lay out for them at least what's contained in AB 182 and what our thoughts are. On Feb. 7, I did send out a letter to all school districts, including superintendents, school boards and chief financial officers, stating that if people needed to issue bonds this year before this legislation AB 182 had a chance to come into law, we would recommend that these districts adhere to the guidance set forth in the language of AB 182 because it does call for 25-year durations. It does call for 4-to-1 or less, payback ratios. It does call for callability in these bonds. It also contains interest rates at a reasonable level. And, as importantly I think, it says there should be full disclosure, openness and transparency in these processes so that the public can be made aware in public meetings of all that goes on where bond issuances are concerned. As a result of the introduction of this legislation we have seen an increase by schools stepping up saying we want to issue bonds now … because they see this legislation coming. They want to get to the marketplace before the legislation takes affect.
Q: Why is a 4-to-1 ratio somehow acceptable just because it's not 9-to-1 like Poway? Why is that a prudent way to spend money?
MCALLISTER: In coming up with the 4-to-1 ratio, we looked at a couple of things. First, a regular 30-year mortgage for any of us who buy a home is roughly 2- or 2½-to-1 payback ratio. That's probably the most common example. We felt that in order to embed some flexibility here there would be room a little bit under the four-to-one CAB. And there is the callability factor. So if they got a chance in 10 years to refinance those bonds they could. They could roll out of them and even come out with a better payback ratio. So I think that was how it was justified.
LOCKYER: My policy preference would be just to ban them like Michigan and others have done. But that doesn't seem to be possible legislatively. There's considerable opposition from the underwriters, bond counsel, financial adviser, school construction industry of any constraints. These essentially are the equivalent of payday loans, the balloon is so huge. What I've seen is there's a very aggressive vendor group that benefits financially by peddling these deals and they're very active in trying to figure out how to stop this legislation.
Q:But why are the school districts falling for it?
LOCKYER: I'm not sure they, in all instances, knew what the deal was. It's not unusual when you sell bonds that, and the resolution goes to the school board, that the interest rate is blank because they're going to go to market subsequent to the voters' approval. And so you don't really know exactly in the front end.
Q: They authorize the term and the amount. And it's staff that does these deals with Wall Street, right?
LOCKYER: Yes. They don't tell you how much debt you're going to pay necessarily until after the fact. And that's because they're generally negotiated deals. All too often there are formal or informal agreements that the underwriter and others are going to support the bond campaign, maybe contribute, contribute polling services or other staff help to get it passed. And then there'll be a noncompetitive, negotiated deal with them if they're successful. So there are practices of that sort that are highly questionable. And there is an industry that feeds at this trough … So some is that, they're unsophisticated, they don't know the details. I think there's a good question as to whether some of the practices have violated existing law … today I sent an opinion request to the (attorney general).

Activist at PSC demo fined for Hitler salute
From The Argus:
An Anti-Israeli activist gave a Hitler salute and goose-stepped at a demonstration outside a store.
Jack Summers, 23, a charity worker from Worcester Villas, Hove, pleaded guilty to racially or religiously aggravated harassment at Brighton Magistrates' Court on December 6. He was fined £75 plus a £20 victim surcharge and £85 costs.
Tony Greenstein, from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said Mr Summers was not affiliated to the group.
Here at Exposing the PSC, we wonder what drove a goose-stepping Hitler-saluting anti-Semite into the arms of a PSC demonstration in the first place?

Is there a special category for those who've fallen over in front of witnesses because the crank broke, and the foot was clipped into the pedal on the other half of the crank?
The funny part is that when a pedal broke off, I stayed up...
Club Tombay application.
On the noble steel. Didn't even make it out our short driveway. I always clip in after I hit the street. Except this time, I accidentally clipped in my left foot. Out of the shadows to the right comes a black car. I stop. I reach the point of no return when I realize the spot I put myself into. However, just before I hit I get my left foot out of the clip and protect my handlebars.
It gets better. The black car was my neighbor's car, about to pull into their driveway. Walking up the street was another neighbor - a pediatrician. She runs up the street asking if I'm OK. Yeah, uninjured, just 50 shades of red.
BTW, Tomber:
And, if you are wondering about Tomber, this inspired the character:

Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts.
First time riding with toestraps I pull up to a stoplight behind a car with two cute teen girls looking at me out the back window.......guess what I forgot to do. They seemed impressed alright.
"I never lost a race because my bike was too heavy".......George Mount
I even remember the place: W. Proctor Rd. and Rt. 4 in Vermont
balancing while waiting to make a left on Rt. 4, and a monster gust of wind blew me over like a cartoon.
Ive had it happen on a motorcycle too. Very unpleasant.
First time for me was on a mup. I was stopping, clicked out with my left foot but somehow leaned a bit to my right and fell over.
Second time was on another mup and I got jammed up behind some walkers that stopped, so I stopped in a hurry, didn't get clicked out and fell over in the middle of the mup.
Lots of witnesses for both.
Two times, once in front of a bus stop with about 7 sweet little old ladies watching, who then proceeded to laugh like crazy. Second time was on a charity ride at the 3rd rest stop, in front of about 80 cyclists.
Renewed membership yesterday.
Oh wait! I have a LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP, so I guess I just checked in again to see if there are any new perks.
I am reminded of an old adage: there are two types of cyclists. Those who have fallen and those who will.
Proof you can Tombay with lots of wheels.
I think this will work since it's "public" privilege.

I have heard it said, "If there's no blood, it doesn't count." Anything to that?
Clipless: On tour, Czech Republic, loaded tandem. Came down a little hill to a T intersection, didn't know which way to turn. Stopped, but somehow screwed it up and the whole shebang toppled over, right in front of a crowd of people just getting out of church. Oh well.
Not clipless: Once on a loaded motorcycle tour with a pillion, stopped at a French toll booth, and again somehow screwed it up and the whole shebang toppled over right in front of the rather startled officer in the booth and in front of a line of cars. Oh well.
But no blood either time.

When I stop on my Terratrike, I stay clipped in, and just do a track stand. I have never fallen over.
A fall with platform pedals may qualify you for Club Clums-ay.
I joined a while ago but was not aware of the lifetime membership option. Least I think I was seen...I'm not 100% sure about that. It was at the end of a long hard climb that I was exhausted at the top so unclipped to take a rest...not noticing that the road still had a significant camber to the right (I always unclip on the left). No blood but a massive bruise on the right leg...and 30 miles to go before I could get home and ice it. It was not a busy road but there was a couple guys just behind me so I'm not sure if they saw the fall but they did see me lying on the side of the road..maybe they thought I was resting
I didn't know that particular cycling feat had a name. I can now proudly claim membership to an elite and ever expanding group of cyclists. I bought one of the very first pairs of Look pedals when they began producing clipless pedals. It didn't take long to clip out of the left and fall right. My town then had only one signal, at the intersection of the two busiest streets, and that's where I applied for membership.
Mid '80s, Centurion Ironman (red/white), trying out the Shimano (IIRC) copy of the Look clipless pedals for the first time. Rode out of the bike shop parking lot onto a road paralleling the Interstate and had gone about a block when some a-hole in a car cut me off. As I hard braked to a stop so's I could continue cussing him out...yep forgot to unclip, fell over and he drove away laughing. Luckily I was at the side of the road and landed in the grass.

My greatest fear is all of my kids standing around my coffin and talking about "how sensible" dad was.
Ambulance trip #1 was to local ER but no neurosurgeon so ambulance trip #2 to ER 2 and hospital stay.

"John Adams: Revolutionary Writings"
By John Adams, edited by Gordon Wood; Library of America.
When we celebrate the Fourth of July tomorrow, I'm sure that most of us will not be thinking about John Adams, the second President of the United States. Yet I think it's worth remembering that he was a major force in the founding of this country, working alongside the likes of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to develop, encourage and defend our move toward independence from Great Britain.
Because he was such a prolific writer, we know much about John Adams the man. Thanks to an amazing biography written by David McCullough in 2001, and a more recent award-winning HBO miniseries (copies of both available at the library), his life is more accessible to us than ever before. I find it especially interesting that John's wife, Abigail, was not just his spouse and the mother of his children; she played an active role in John's political and diplomatic doings, and truly was his "dearest friend," as he often addressed her in letters. They were married 54 years, experiencing together all of the trials and triumphs of a new country finding its' way in the world.
Now that I know more about John Adams as a person, I find that I want a more complete understanding of his writing, and this can be done by checking out the Library of America's two volume set of Adams' revolutionary writings. In addition to letters, essays, reports, and entries from his personal diary, the volumes contain chronologies, essays on the texts, and explanatory notes. History is fascinating stuff. Without extraordinary men like John Adams, we might not have an Independence Day to celebrate. Now that's food for thought.

Stonington - For the past five years the space in the Pawcatuck Shopping Center that last housed a Stop & Shop has sat vacant as the supermarket chain moved to its new location on Route 2.
While some residents wanted to see a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods open there, Stop & Shop held the lease and was not willing to see another grocery store open a few miles from its new store.
But now there is a tenant for the space as Bill Kane of Stonington, who owns Workout World/Renegade Sports locations in Waterford, Groton, Norwich and New London is seeking a permit to renovate the space into a Renegade Sports Center.
Kane, who could not be reached for comment Sunday, had been in the store earlier this winter with an architect looking at design options. He declined to discuss his plans publicly at that point. On Sunday, brown paper and two murals of people working out blocked the large windows that look into the store.
On Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Mystic Middle School, the Planning and Zoning Commission will consider a request by Kane for a zoning permit to change the use of the space from retail to personal services. The use is allowed in the GC-60 zone where the building is located.
The gym would operate from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., with three to seven employees at any one time. No changes to the site are planned. A floor plan shows a lobby, offices and areas for exercise machines, free weights, spinning, bleachers, personal training, classes, tanning, locker rooms and saunas.
Because Kane is seeking a zoning permit from the commission it is an administrative decision that does not require a public hearing.
On his Facebook page Friday, First Selectman Ed Haberek called the business an "exciting addition to the town."
He said it has been a pleasure meeting and working with Kane to revitalize the longtime vacant location. Haberek had criticized Stop & Shop in the past for its efforts to stop a grocery store from moving into the location.
Last week, Heather Bessette, who owns I Can Fitness, posted her concerns about the impact of Kane's plans on her Facebook page saying it was not good news for her 18-year-old small business on Route 1 or the Ocean Community YMCA which has branches in Mystic and Westerly.
She urged people to "support local not chains!"
Haberek responded, saying Kane is local.
"Secondly, the YMCA has priced itself out of the market for locals. Believe me I know," posted Haberek, who frequents several local gyms.

Tallahassee, FL --May 19,2012--
Riders hit the trails at Saint Mark's Trail in Tallahassee on Saturday/
They did it as part of 16th annual Roll-A-Thon. The event raises money for the United Cerebral Palsy of Tallahassee and helps purchase vital equipment that they need.
"We use most of the funds to purchase adaptive equipment , assistive technology. That is their future. That is their new world," says Ronald Sanders.
Sanders says they are hoping to raise around $8500 dollars.

Southland Tales, Richard Kelly's long-delayed follow-up to his 2001 indie hit Donnie Darko, is now set for a November 9th release, Variety reports. Originally slated to open in 2006, Southland Tales was targetted for extensive re-editing after a less-than-stellar debut at Cannes last year.
I had the chance to visit the set of Southland Tales in September of 2005, where I chatted with several members of the film's impressively eclectic cast, including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seann William Scott. Remarkably, none of them had the faintest clue as to what the film was about, which is never a good sign.
Director Richard Kelly is scheduled to appear at this week's annual San Diego Comic-Con, where he'll hopefully shed some light as to what exactly we can expect when Southland Tales arrives in theaters in November.

Where did the phrase "not so much" come from?
This is a discussion thread · 9 replies
1 2
Guest:I've recently started hearing all sorts of folks use variations on "Yeah, not so much" as a sarcastic response to a question posed. It's even listed in www.urbandictionary.com as such. But who started it? Usually a phrase that becomes a part of society originates in a fairly visible place... A TV show, a movie, New Yorkers, the West Coast?
It's really been bugging me... any ideas out there?

Xam0:"Not so much" is a phrase that was started on the television show "Brady Bunch" it made its first appearance in episode #73 season 3. It caught on like wildfire for the first two years and has been making a big comeback. It was used in a Nixon speech, and became a household word by '75. The words "not" "much" and "so" had never been used in the same sentence before that episode...... Either that, or it is simply a literal and neutral phrase that has nothing to do with slang. "not" is there to negate the statement. "so" is there to clarify the intensity of the "much", and "much" is there as a positive word, meaning "yes, a good amount", which is negated by the "not"
Anonymous:did anyone ever answer this? from yiddish. from aaron sorkin sports night/west wing.....?
Anonymous:while maybe not the original innovator, Jon Stewart uses it very effectively and popularly on The Daily Show.

"Not so much" makes a famous appearance in the "Borat" movie.
Snappy? Sure. Original? Not so much
Daniel Weiss
Columbia News Service
Oct. 31, 2006 12:00 AM
NEW YORK -- The front page of a recent issue of the Austin American-Statesman asks of congressional lobbying shenanigans: "Scandal breeds reform? Not so much."
An entry on the media gossip site Gawker.com observes, "Tom Cruise can conquer the world--but a car door, not so much."
And the talk-show host Jon Stewart responds this way when asked which Democrat he saw stepping forward to lead the party:
"I like this guy John Kennedy. Since him, not so much."
Everywhere you look these days, it seems someone is dismissing something with those three loaded words.
Helen Anders, the copy editor who wrote the American-Statesman headline, said she first heard the phrase when her 20-something daughter used it to slough off the idea of dating a potential suitor: "Yeah, not so much," her daughter said.
"You can almost mentally see someone hurling the idea into the trash can," Anders, 54, said of the phrase.
"Not so much" is just one of a series of contagious phrases to take hold in recent years. Not so long ago, every other sentence trailed off into "yada yada yada." Before that, everyone had "been there, done that." And more recently, if you asked too many questions about something, you might be told quite simply: "It is what it is."
But how do these phrases come into vogue? It helps, of course, to have a celebrity standard bearer. For the phrase "not so much," that would be Stewart, host of Comedy Central's "Daily Show." He famously gives the words an expert, drawn-out delivery, pausing to consider whether the subject at hand passes muster before nailing it with a "not so much."
Though the phrase has become widely identified with Stewart, it appeared on several other television shows dating back to the early 1990s, including "Mad About You" and "Friends." But it didn't achieve widespread popularity until the beginning of the current decade, when it began to appear on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
It sneaked into the vernacular by becoming what linguists call a "camouflaged form" of speech, said Michael Adams, professor of English at Indiana University and author of "Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon."
"It would be very easy for it to migrate, because it would change its meaning just a little bit every time it got used until suddenly it was that dismissive not so much.' "
Pinpointing exactly when that transition occurred is difficult, if not impossible.
Adams says that even a phrase as distinctive as "yada yada yada," which was hailed by many as a creation of the television show "Seinfeld," turned out to have been used by the comedian Lenny Bruce in the 1960s.
While Buffy may not have coined "not so much," the show's language was unusually experimental and influential, including such neologisms as "afterness," "heart-of-darknessy" and "suckage."
Before its writers tackled "not so much," they had already pushed "so" and "much" into novel roles.
"We so need to get out of here," a character would say at a precarious moment, or "Morbid much?" when another dwelt on gory details. Before long, "not so much" was a regular part of Buffy's linguistic arsenal.
"You've changed," Buffy once said to a character whose appearance had improved after he got his soul back. "Not so much with the crazy."
And when another character said, "Willow's good at all that computer stuff, but me, not so much," a thousand punch lines, online quips and newspaper headlines followed.
If others pioneered "not so much," Stewart has put his unique stamp on the phrase. The way he delivers it brings out a certain foreign quality in the sequence of words.
"It's a little bit backward," said Grant Barrett, editor of "The Official Dictionary of Unofficial English." "It seems to bring to mind the you want I should' kind of construction we get from Yiddish: You want I should call you in the morning?' "
A 34-year-old New Jersey woman who runs a blog called "Eh . . . Not So Much" (eh-notsomuch.livejournal.com/tag/tv) says she likes the phrase because it is "Seinfeldy"--skeptical and cynical, but not completely in your face.
The woman, a data processor who asked to remain anonymous so her conservative parents wouldn't read her left-of-center postings, added, "You know, it's like, Is the president completely telling the truth about this? Eh . . . not so much.' "
Like any popular phrase worth its salt, "not so much" has been featured in a number of T-shirt designs, including one for dog lovers that reads: "My Golden Makes Me Happy. You--Not So Much."
The phrase has even been adopted by Borat, the Kazakh journalist character played by the British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. When Borat showed up at the gates of the White House recently bearing an invitation to a screening of his film for President Bush, a Secret Service agent asked him whether he had an appointment. "Uh, not so much," he replied.
For some, "not so much" has become too ubiquitous for its own good. Joel Keller, a 35-year-old freelance writer in New Jersey, said that the first time he came across the phrase, it made him laugh. The five-thousandth time, well, not so much. Now, he claims, every blogger who wants to make a joke just writes, "This thing is something and this--not so much."
But Adams, the Buffy scholar, argues that "not so much" still has some life in it. Compared with phrases like "been there, done that" and "it is what it is," which have been dulled by overuse, "not so much," for now, still has a distinct meaning and feel.
"It's like fashion," Adams said. There are other ways of being dismissive, but none with quite the same style.
"'Not so much' is the way you want to sound in a situation," he said. "And so you put it on."
Anonymous:"not so much"
Perhaps it was Baron Pierre De Coubertin's quotes (as the article* implies), or not.
However, the article surely shows that the phrase is dated from 1948 Britain.

Fine-Pashmina Shawl with Taupe Silver Fox Fur
http://rubinakapoor.com/productsdescription.aspx?id=5 - Fine-Pashmina Shawl with Taupe Silver Fox Fur has been one of the most popular types of wraps for hundreds of years. They function as a warmer, protection against the sun, a style-statement, an accessory that adds color to an outfit, and the list goes on and on. And in that list, is the very reason why they are timeless fashion pieces.
No one can really tell when the first Fine-Pashmina Shawl with Taupe Silver Fox Fur was truly invented. But, from recorded history, it started with ancient India, when people in Kashmir started making fine fabric from goat's wool or fleece, and used them as body wraps. They were later known as wool shawls... a soft fabric that provided a luxurious feel that was highly desired by the elite and royalties.
