Stinky Toejam
They say different strokes for different folks. In the case of toejam this is definitely an acquired taste for sure. Even among hard core foot fetishists the thought of that disgusting crud found between your toes can be a turn off. Not for me! Oh I love toejam! I'm not talking about some football throwing jock or some used car salesman who is on his feet all day. I'm not talking about any GUY at all. I'm talking about that lady with sexy feet standing in front of you in the checkout line who just needed to rush out for something quick at the market. I'm talking about the woman who works in her garden with an old beat up pair of canvas Keds on with no socks. I'm talking about the woman who has a super comfy pair of sneakers that she just throws on when she needs to run out of the house. All of that foot funk has no sock to absorb it so it just sits there baking inside that dark shoe mixing with toe sweat. To some this is completely disgusting. To be its Valhalla! I long for the aroma that bursts from the inside of those dark and musty sneakers when a bare foot is removed from the shoe now damp with sweat.
Yes, I LOVE stinky bare feet. I don't apologize for it. As a matter of fact I'm quite proud of it. I have often said I have never met my match with stinky feet. Every foot model who has stepped up to the plate with musty feet has gone away only making me happier! Well, there was ONE instance when I met my good pal Mommie and her husband in an Orlando mall parking lot. She was "baking" a pair of socks for over two weeks. I would have to say that was the ONE time I met my match. Her feet were PO-TENT! After airing out her feet a bit she removed her socks, placed them in a biohazard bag, sealed it up and mailed it to a customer who I'm sure died upon opening that same bag. Mommie spread her toes and dared the two of us to take another whiff. Guess what I saw between her soft pink toes? You guessed it! TOEJAM! Dark, musty flecks of filth mixed with sweat and dead skin that forms those little toe boogers I love! I wanted to stick my tounge in between her toes and start lapping up her little toe fruits but it was the first time meeting the husband so I exercised a little self control. As it turms out he would have been totally fine with it!
So, toejam you ask. Why would I like something so gross? Because I'm a foot freak. I love stinky girlfeet, that's why. The next time you see a cute girl bouncing around in her white sneakers with no socks, think of me. Think of me wishing I could rip them off and start licking sweaty soles and toejam because I'm a freak like that!
Toons OUT!

McDaniels, Preston.
Easy Picture Book MCDANIE
Summary: Dressed in his best hat and scarf, with the finest carrot nose, and the roundest coal eyes, the perfect snowman believed that having the best of everything was all there was to life, and all that really mattered. But after receiving a visit from two special friends and a little girl who appeared out of nowhere, like an angel, the snowman begins to realize the true qualities that make him so special. Using captivating, classical sepia-colored art and a text that evoke scenes from stories by Charles Dickens, author and illustrator Preston McDaniels tells the heartwarming tale about a snowman who receives the most perfect gifts of all: humility, compassion, and love.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck On The View's New Panel: ''I Have No Clue'' Why Rosie O'Donnell Is Back, But ''I Wish Them Well''
5,100 views
The new cast, crew and hosts of The View, including Rosie O'Donnell Rosie Perez, Nicolle Wallace and Whoopi Goldberg, who is the only returning host from the previous season—are presumably celebrating the success of Monday's season 18 premiere, which marks the second-highest premiere on record since the show's inception in 1997. The episode also marked O'Donnell's highly-anticipated return to the show after exiting the program in 2007 following her infamous feud with Elizabeth Hasselbeck, which led to the comic's premature exit from the series Hasselbeck told Parade magazine, referring to the pair's on-air fight, "I reached out to Rosie for many years, including the day after everything happened. That's something I've talked about time and again. I was not met with a response, but I wish them well." As for her response when asked why the producers brought Rosie back? She said, "I have no clue."

UNDATED (WKZO) -- First comes the stormy weather, then the utility crews and then the scam artists, unscrupulous con artists who show up at your door offering low prices or immediate help, and then take your money and run.
The BBB's Melanie Dequesnel says homeowners don't want to wait. Especially if they fear bad weather is coming and they have roof damage.
She says you need to contact your insurance company, do your research, get more than one bid, ask to see their insurance certificate and get what you want done down on paper.
No respectable firm would demand payment before the job is done. That may be the tip-off.

Working as an RN can be a very rewarding and satisfying career and considering it's a job that is experiencing some of the fastest growth in the country, it really is a great career path to think about. Especially in this uncertain job climate pursuing a career that has a lot of job potential is smart.
What Does A Registered Nurse Do?
If you love working with people and can handle multi-tasking, you will find that this could be a great career for you. A registered nurse has many responsibilities. They are usually the first person a patient will see and the last before they are discharged from the hospital or doctors office. They are in charge of administering medications, checking a patients vital signs, and explaining after care treatment. They also play a huge role in the daily operations in a hospital.
Education Requirements
Enrolling in continued education is a key component of becoming an RN. In fact, you never stop learning if you are working in health care. You will be responsible for continuing your education as long as you are a registered nurse. After completing high school, or receiving your GED, you will need to then get a higher education.
You can do this by attending a college that offers a nursing degree program. An associate's degree in nursing will take a person about 3 years to complete, but a determined person could complete it in 2 years, if attending school full-time.
Job Growth
Job growth is expected to only increase if you are wondering how to become an rn. You will have endless possibilities in this field. Registered nurses make up the largest amount of workers in the world of health care, and with so many nurses retiring their will always be a need to fill their positions. Hospitals around the country are understaffed and hiring RN's on a regular basis.According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth for RNs is expected to hit 22% between 2008 and 2018. This is much faster than most jobs around the country. The aging of the baby boomer generation and their subsequent need for more healthcare is spurring on this growth.
Most people think of RN's working in hospitals, but there are many job opportunities beyond hospitals and the hours are not always nights, weekends, and holidays. You could find work as a RN at a doctors office, schools and retirement homes. In fact, there's a big difference in the rate of job growth when you break down registered nurse jobs by industry. By knowing which specific area of health care is hiring the most can give you a big edge during your job hunting.
- Physician's Offices 48% growth
- Home health care 33% growth
- Nursing care facilities 25%
- Employment services 24%
- Hospitals 17%
How to become an rn will also be very lucrative as well. They make a very comfortable living and with continued education and job advancements you can expect to make up to $68,000 a year. It's possible to make even more if you have a Batchlor's degree, or work in a hospital as a head nurse.
Interview Video With RN
This is an interview with a real registered nurse that is good behind the scenes look at what it means to be an RN. It's a good unvarnished look at the position and gives a good feel for the world of a registered nurse.

After years of civil war, Angola is trying to rebuild the country and its people. The Adventist Church has the opportunity to lead the way in restoring the Angola's education system, and they have asked Maranatha for help through the construction of schools. In addition to educational centers, Adventist leaders in Angola have asked for help, and Maranatha has committed to providing 75 churches and one education and evangelism center.

In partnership with Adventist-laymen Services and Industries (ASI), Maranatha is helping with the expansion of the Bere Adventist Hospital in Chad. The project is utilizing modified One-Day School buildings to serve as operating rooms, maternity wards, and private patient wards. Similar materials are also being used to build staff and volunteer housing within the safety of the hospital campus.
2013 Scope:
18 Hospital buildings
Just 45 minutes outside the capital city of Accra, Maranatha is building an expansive pre-school through senior high school campus. The facility is part of Valley View University, an esteemed Seventh-day Adventist institution of higher learning. In addition to this campus, Maranatha is also building several churches in various regions of the country. This is Maranatha's first time working in Ghana.

According to Adventist Church records, Zambia as approximately 900,000 members. But according to a recent census, more than three million people identified themselves as Adventist!
The need for more churches and schools in Zambia is huge. There are many stories of people walking miles to church, many times in bare feet. Some of the areas needing churches are so remote that a One-Day Church structure is the only solution that could work.
2013 Scope:
160 Churches
48 School classrooms
2 Education and Evangelism Centers
Zimbabwe has a reputation for producing excellent Seventh-day Adventist teachers. The problem is that there are not enough schools. So in recent years, Maranatha has constructed school campuses at Victoria Falls and Solusi College.
But Maranatha discovered another problem in Zimbabwe: the lack of church structures. In one area of Zimbabwe, Kariba, there are four Adventist congregations but not a single one has a church of their own. One meets under a tree and another worships in a boat shed. In the next year, Maranatha is hoping to make a big impact in Zimbabwe by providing more church buildings.

Which HullabaLOU headliner do you want to see?
HullabaLOU, as in LOUisville, is not only a big event for July of 2010, but Churchill plans on it being an annual festival and immediately joining the ranks of the top music festivals in the country.
44,000 Rolling Stones fans got it started in 2006 and 27,000 fans of the rock group the Police made it clear one year later, the world's most legendary racetrack also has a future in music.
"So I think we know something about producing and conduct large live entertainment events. And so we asked, what could we do with that?" said Bob Evans, CDI President.
What they could do is HullabaLOU, a three day music festival in July headlined by a trifecta of superstars.
Bon Jovi on Friday, Kenny Chesney on Saturday, and Dave Matthews band on Sunday.
Churchill Downs Entertainment Group President Steve Sexton said it will have, "five stages, over 65 acts and musical genres from the region that are going to be classic rock, country and adult contemporary and bluegrass."
Ear-X-tacy's John Timmons was impressed by the eclectic mix or old and new but questions whether the economy will discourage ticket sales.
The cheapest ticket is $60 for one day general admission.
But HullabaLOU's consulting producer Quint Davis says the racetrack's 147 acres and unique setting make it a sure bet.
"That combo of having 25,000 seats reserved seats with a full on multi-stage field festival and the paddock, there is no other festival in that model, and I think it's fantastic," said Davis.
HullabaLOU is July 23, 24 and 25th at Churchill Downs. Tickets go on sale at noon this Friday.
Churchill estimates HullabaLOU could have an economic impact of $38 million to the area.
Many other big name musical acts are also scheduled to appear including:
Zac Brown Band, Steve Miller Band, Gladys Knight, Jason Aldean, The Doobie Brothers, Al Green, Dwight Yoakam, Michael McDonald, Loretta Lynn, Colbie Caillat, Steppenwolf, The Black Crowes, Kansas, B52s, Gloriana, 38 Special, The O'Jays, War, Richard Marx, Gov't Mule, Joan Osborne, Musiq Soulchild, Taj Mahal, Sam Bush, Chrisette Michele and many more.
A complete list of confirmed performers is available online at the event Website, www.hullabaloufest.com.
Ticket packages, which range from $60 for a one-day general admission pass to $975 for a three-day VIP package, will go on sale Friday, Dec. 4, at noon and can be purchased online at www.hullabaloufest.com and www.ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster outlets, including select Kroger locations, or by calling (800) 745-3000.

Wolfeboro man charged with sex assault of roommate's child
The defendant, Joseph Grinnell, 33, was charged with one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault involving a child under age 14, but police indicated that additional charges might be filed. Since the offense is a felony level crime, the case will be presented to a Carroll County Superior Court grand jury for possible indictment.
During the probable cause hearing held Wednesday in 3rd Circuit District Court in Ossipee, Wolfeboro Police Department Sgt. Christopher Keaton testified how the child, and the child's father and mother reported the alleged crime to police on March 27. The father told police when he brought his child to the hospital for a minor medical procedure, medical personnel took a routine urine test. The test revealed that the child was pregnant. The child lives with her father in Maine most of the time but spends weekends with her mother in Wolfeboro. According to testimony presented, Grinnell was a friend of the mother's who moved in with her to help with the bills.
Wolfeboro Police Department Prosecutor Tim Morgan also called Wolfeboro Detective Guy Maloney to the stand. Maloney testified that the child told him that a sexual relationship with Grinnell began in August 2012 and that resulted in the pregnancy. Under questioning by defense attorney Steve Mirkin, Maloney said police obtained DNA evidence that was sent to the state lab for testing, but as of Wednesday, police had not received the results of that testing. The pregnancy was terminated shortly after the child and her parents filed the assault charge.
In further questioning, Mirkin asked if police had investigated the child's whereabouts during the approximate time of conception and Maloney replied he had not.
In further questioning, Maloney said Grinnell acknowledged that he had sexual relations with the child and that the statement she gave during an interview with police and the Child Advocacy Center personnel was accurate. Maloney said police also obtained through a search warrant, Grinnell's cellular phone, and a letter from the child to Grinnell.
Mirken argued that the state has not met the burden of probable cause for a charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault, but the judge disagreed.
Varney found the state has sufficient probable cause.
Mirken asked the court to reduce bail to $2,500.
Morgan said Grinnell was being accused of a "heinous" crime with a substantial penalty and considering his prior criminal history, should be considered an extreme flight risk. Morgan said Grinnell had previously been deemed a fugitive from justice for burglary and felony theft crimes in Texas and Tennessee.
"He has plenty of reason to leave the jurisdiction," Morgan said. Varney agreed and denied the motion to reduce bail.
Aggravated felonious sexual assault carries a 10- to 20-year state prison sentence.
The Portland, Maine, Police Department, Wakefield Police Department, and the Carroll County Child Advocacy Center in Wolfeboro assisted in the investigation.

For Undocumented Youth, Rubio's Actions Will Speak Louder Than Words
April 20, 2012
Washington, D.C. — In media interviews Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., continued to tout his proposed alternative to the DREAM Act, which would help address the undocumented youth whom the DREAM Act was designed to assist. The following is a statement by Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum.
"We welcome the renewed focus on immigration reform. It is clear both parties have realized fixing the immigration system is good policy and good politics.
"It's good to see Senator Rubio talking to the press about his ideas on reform. But, the time is near for Senator Rubio to introduce legislative language and define a path forward that secures necessary Republican votes."

Prom Date Costs Student Graduation Date
USA Today: An Ohio senior is suspended today from the fundamentalist Baptist school he has attended since kindergarten for attending a public school prom.
Heritage Christian School forbids dancing, hand holding and rock music. Frost's grandmother, Karen Frost, who teaches at Heritage Christian, said she had been praying for her grandson to "make the right decision" and skip the prom.
But Frost told the website he never wavered from his decision to attend with Rebecca Smooty.
Heritage principal Tim England said Frost will receive an "incomplete" on remaining assignments and will be banned from graduation ceremonies, but will receive his diploma after completing his finals.
Frost's father, Stephan Johnson, said the suspension is unfair and that he plans to sue the school.

I hope the dad does sue the school. The school does not have the right to enforce their rules for activities students attend outside the school. By suspending the boy and not allowing him to attend his graduation the school is robbing him of his right to reap the fruits of his lifelong labor.
Absolutely ridiculous and a perfect example of why I can't stand organized religion. Get off your freaking high horse and catch up to the times. I love all these "Christian" do gooders that think they are so high and mighty for living for their Lord and doing as he would want. However, isn't the biggest and greatest thing about God that he forgives our sins? I would think the punishment being brought on this kid shows no forgiveness. Pathetic!
I hope the dad does sue. What the student does away from school property is he decision. Their rules are to be followed on campus and campus alone. They can not play big brother and police their students activities and personal decisions away from their campus.
I hope this teen is smart enough to break free from this cult. Sounds like he's already questioning it, otherwise he wouldn't have broken their rules.
Harsh to say it's a cult because I think it is not, but I hate the legalism. You can't dictate a person. Even God wouldn't. What's so bad about going to the prom? It's part of growing up, and the memories that come along with it. I don't see anything wrong with his decision to go.
Never judge God by manmade religions. Even Jesus was against religion. Satan came to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came that we would have life, and life abundantly.
thank you, Nicole.
The school does have the right to expell Tyler because he attends a private school. However, I believe that the rules are from way back when. I mean not being able to hold hands, dancing at prom, I think that every teen looks forward to prom. Tyler has an exciting story to tell his future kids and grandkids about his prom. lol. But I think that it's a little too old fashioned and that it's prom, not dirty dancing. The school should appreciate the fact that they did a good job of showing Tyler the right path to go down to not act like a maniac because after he does get his diploma he'll be pushed into the real world anyway.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Chloe Angyal, one of Monday's speakers, blogged about looking forward to hearing fellow Rethinking Virginity panelists, Sady Doyle (Tiger Beatdown, Feministe.us) and Professor Marie Griffith (Harvard Divinity School).
Amanda Hess, who pens the column "The Sexist" for The Washington City Paper, had a hilarious chat with Doyle about some of the ways in which valuing virginity delegitimizes the wide spectrum of sexualities and sexual expression . Doyle notes:
"Sex is being defined as this very heterosexual experience of having a Penile Apparatus stuck into our Vaginal Apparatus in an Act That Could Potentially Produce Offspring (if you don't make his weiner wear an outfit, or whatever). Like, OK: There are a lot of things that are pretty darn sexual, which this description of Sex does not cover!"
Hear, hear!
On The American Prospect's TAPPED blog, Silvana Naguib writes about the rising popularity of hymen restoration surgery among Arab women. But while it may be easy for Westerners to decry supposedly backward sexual norms, Naguib notes that Americans, too, possess a "bizarre virginity obsession". She says, "By continuing to prize virginity, Americans support a violent narrative about young women and sex, increasing the value of their sexual purity only to gain power by depriving them of it." about how

Stewart Lee! The 'If You Prefer a Milder Comedian Please Ask For One' EP
Stewart Lee
Following his hugely acclaimed TV come-back,
Comedy Vehicle
, Lee finds himself spent and in search of ideas for a new Edinburgh show. On a long walk across London, he endures a coffee shop humiliation involving a loyalty card, which suggests itself as a comedy routine about everyday life that anyone could enjoy. Later that month, thanks to Jeremy Clarkson's jokes about Gordon Brown's blindness and the appearance of a well-meaning young comedian in a pear cider advert, a show is born.
Featuring a transcript of the show fully annotated with footnotes, the If You Prefer A Milder Comedian EP confirms Stewart Lee as the most original, daring and brilliant comedian of his generation.

Compared to during MWC the Android community has been relatively silent over the last week with the biggest news announcement Google's re-branding of Android Market to Google Play.
The week in Android News is ready and waiting after the jump.
Device and Technology Announcements
Device and Technology Announcements
|Fanboys gonna hate
- While die-hard Android fans don't like to think about the competition for Android manufacturers there is no escaping the fact that every Tablet you make you will be compared to Apple's iPad. Hopefully with the announcement of the new iPad with a 2048x1536 resolution display we will see Android manufacturers pushing the bar. On the flipside it seems most of them just want to pander to Nvidia and their weaksauce Tegra 3 which although it probably isn't 4X slower than the new iPad's A5X, it is still completely outmatched. For proof of how weak the Tegra 3 GPU is compared to the previous iPad 2's older A5 check out these benchmarks from Anandtech as well as a full Analysis comparing Tegra 3 to the A5X.
- I'm not sure where Archos sell their G9 range of tablets, but apparently now they have Ice Cream Sandwich. Surprisingly ahead of most other Android tablet manufacturers.
|The Asus Padfone
- The Asus Padfone which was officially unveiled at MWC now has an official release 'date' of April with prices apparently coming 'soon'. While I am hoping for a lower price, I'm expecting upwards of $1500 NZD for the Phone + Tablet + Dock combo.
- In more rumour-fuelled news, Asus is apparently bringing out a 7 Inch 'nexus' tablet for USD $199-249 as early as May this year.
|Samsung's Galaxy SII
- Samsung have a lot of very unhappy customers this week after officially saying Ice Cream Sandwich was due for release on the SGSII starting March 10. They then went back on this and said that it was a mistake. So apart from Samsung Israel who have said March 15th, there is no official release date for ICS on Samsung's flagship device of yesteryear. If you are keen however there are still test versions floating around on XDA.
|The HTC Sensation's ICS Update
- While Samsung is off disappointing a large portion of it's userbase, HTC is coming through and has officially released ICS on the HTC Sensation in Nordic countries. The build number is 3.32.401.5 and comes with HTC Sense version 3.6 as well as Android 4.03 - the delicious Ice Cream Sandwich.
|Clouds fly out of your strange looking phone
On the Patent/Lawsuit Front:
- The wheels of patent lawsuits keep on turning, this time they are stopping on Motorola who has been told they need to get information from Google about the development of Android and hand it over to Apple. Unsurprisingly Motorola are not very keen to do this and say that they cannot force Google to hand over this information. You can read more details over at Bloomberg.
- While Motorola is getting the beat-down, Samsung is continuing to fight back, this time with a fresh lawsuit over three utility patents.
- While Google dropped support for App Inventor which lets users create apps without knowing how to code, MIT has now picked it up and you can find out more here.
- Readability - a news reader with a typography-based UI is coming to Android via Amazon's App store on Monday (Tuesday in NZ)
- If you're looking for a gory and mindless hack 'n slash then check out Dark Legends, which now has a trailer video, with one of those movie trailer voice guys to boot.
- If you ever played Another World/Out of This World on your Amiga, Atari or DOS PC back in the day ('the day' being of course the early 90s) then you may want to revisit your youth on Android. That's right, Another World is coming to Android, hopefully I don't stuck at gaming too much to play it now.
- The hit iOS game Temple Run has now been officially announced for Android and is coming March 27th for free!
- Samsung and Rovio have teamed up to announce Angry Birds Space with hands-on demos at the SXSW conference in Austin Texas
|Dead Space
- If you have a reasonably high-end handset then you need to get Dead Space, right now it's only $0.40 NZD and is an amazing 'sci-fi horror masterpiece'
- If you like little shooty tanks then check out this review of Tank Hero: Laser Wars. It has the 3D graphics oh and also a split-screen 2 player
- This week has been pretty big for the Android platform as a whole. First Google announced that Android Market would support apps larger than 50MB by providing up to 4GB of additional storage for data files. The APK files still have a limit of 50MB which could still cause problems for developers.
- The second big story for Android was the rebranding of Android Market to Google Play. By now most people's devices have already had Android Market sneakily replaced with the new and debatably ugly Google Play icon. There is still no support for Books, Music or Movies in New Zealand and likely won't be in the foreseeable future. On the bright side, there are quite a few apps that are on special at bargain prices to celebrate the new brand.
Random other stuff
Remember how Google announced a new font as part of the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich launch? well now it's available to download as a zip full of True Type Fonts. That means you can use it on your Windows and possibly Mac/Linux computers as well!
- This week we reached a milestone of Apps of the Week and our beloved leader NZtechfreak collated all of the recommendations into one blockbuster article for your reading pleasure! If you want to know what apps we use, and you should be using then check it out here.
How To's
- Unfortunately we didn't release any How To articles this week, you can go check out our archive here, or leave a comment saying what you'd like us to write a How To article for.
If you feel there's anything important that we've missed, let us know in the comments below.

Keanu Reeves is reportedly keen on returning to one of his most profitable movie franchises by starring in TheMatrix 4 and 5.
The actor recently appeared at a key notes speech at the London School Of Performing Arts, and one lucky attendee dropped by Ain't It Cool News, reporting on what Reeves said about possible further Matrixes.
According to informant 'El Nino', Reeves met with the Wachowskis over Christmas, and they talked to him about a two-film treatment they'd just completed "that would see him return to the world of the matrix as Neo".
Not only that, but the Wachowskis have also apparently met with James Cameron about creating the movies in 3D.
File this firmly under 'rumour mill musings' for now, as AICN's source has yet to be verified by, well, anybody, and his claims are all rather fantastical.
But it's definitely got us thinking about what any further Matrix adventures might involve, especially as Reeves' character was all but doomed at the end of final film Revolutions…
Source: Ain't It Cool News
Would a fourth and fifth Matrix just be pointless? Or is there scope for more story? Log on with your thoughts below...

Two Great Photographers, Two Unreliable Narrators: Yousuf Karsh & Roman Vishniac
This post started several hours ago.
I had seen a note in the Boston Globe on an exhibit of photographs by Yousuf Karsh ('Karsh of Ottawa') (1908-2002) at the Armenian Library and Museum of America in Watertown, Mass. I wanted to tout the exhibit.
But not without reason has a good friend dubbed me 'the great digressor', as this post will confirm. Now back to my morning….
Scroll through the dozens of Karsh photos on the internet, and you'll find tens to which 'iconic' correctly applies. They forever define their subjects: most famously Churchill, Einstein and Hemingway. I love this one of George Bernard Shaw and this one of Alberto Giacometti.
But for some time I couldn't find on line my favorite Karsh image, a portrait of the photographer and biologist, Roman Vishniac (1897-1990).
Until I saw it a couple of years ago in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, I only knew Roman Vishniac through his justly famous A Vanished World (1983). It is – and was intended to be – a haunting array of images of Jewish life in Poland in the late 1930s.
I had no idea this gifted portraitist was also a scientist of note, as the MFA's descriptive card said. His field was 'photomicroscopy, the photography of specimens as seen through a microscope'. The portrait affected me because it seemed to reflect a man so haunted by the 'vanished world' he'd recorded that he'd turned away from humans as wholes and to their cells.
This morning, as I looked for the portrait, I found a New York Times Magazine article from April 2010, 'A Closer Reading of Roman Vishniac' by Tablet editor-in-chief, Alana Newhouse.
Newhouse reports the research of Maya Benton, a curator at New York's International Center of Photography. Newhouse's story (which is exceptionally well told) and Karsh's portrait reminded me what unreliable narrators photographers are. For outside of his science, Vishniac was a fabulist.
His tale of how his photographs from the Pale of Settlement came to be taken omitted that they were commissioned by a Jewish relief organization. When first published in the 1930s, his images were intended to generate contributions. Hence, the emphasis on the isolated, poor, oppressed and Orthodox. After the war, Vishniac selected, cropped, captioned and organized his images to reinforce that picture of Jewish life.
The reality, Benton has learnt from her study of Vishniac's archives, was very different. Ironically, she believes, Vishniac's editing of his own work in service to his fiction dimmed, rather than enhanced, his deserved eminence as a photographer. And beyond question, it is deserved.
So, it seems to me, Karsh got Vishniac as his subject intended. He captured the image not the man.
(I can't omit mention of Vishniac's daughter, Mara. According to Newhouse, from childhood she and her father had a difficult relationship. Because of her brother's untimely death, she became her father's curator. It was she who opened her father's records to Benton and she who has seen to their preservation at the International Center of Photography. She is a hero.)
Because I was so struck by Newhouse's writing, I looked at Tablet which bills itself as 'A New Read on Jewish Life'. In my youth, billboards reminded that 'You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's Jewish rye bread'. So, too, Tablet to which I've subscribed.
That was my morning. And a good one, it was.

Several projects involving audio and video transmission between the University of Cincinnati and other sites over the high bandwidth Internet2 have ranged from the simple transmission of video material, to more complex interactive improvisation. A performance of Clotho, the life of Camille Claudel, a musical monodrama collaboration, was streamed in September 2000 over Internet2 to a widely distributed audience. The second project involved my real-time contribution from Cincinnati to a performance happening at Yale University of The Ankle Diver, with music by Matthew Suttor. A network improvisation project with the Soundmesh (formerly Internet Sound Exchange) software resulted in a number of improvisations involving the University of Cincinnati, Columbia University, Yale University and the Fall Internet2 Meeting at the University of Southern California. High-quality audio and flexibility of sound sources and processing is a strength of these improvisations.

There are some major difference between renting a car in comparison to the Self Drive Tour:
1. The Self Drive Tour Price is all inclusive of the vehicle, taxes, fees, Park Admissions, Gas, and vehicle insurance. When you are calculating a rental car rate online, it will not include fuel costs, full coverage insurance. In addition, rental car rates fluctuate daily whereas the Self Drive Tour prices are fixed.
2.The Self Drive will provide Hotel Pickup and Drop off. When you rent a car in Las Vegas, the airport has the lowest rental rates and does not offer hotel transfer service. You will pay more for a rental car from the few places that offer pickup and drop off service.
3.The Self Drive Tour is arranged just like a tour and takes all of the guesswork out of your trip. All of your admissions are prepaid and arranged so you do not have to wait in the long lines at the Grand Canyon. You will be briefed before you leave on every step of the day so you waste no time and know exactly what you are doing. A representative will answer all of your questions before you go.
4. If you are planning to rent a car to go to the Grand Canyon West Rim, figure these costs: Rental Car plus Nevada Taxes and fees of approximately 28%, Full Insurance coverage: $30 per day, Gas on approximately 260 miles (25 mpg @ $3.25/gallon= $34), Grand Canyon West Admissions of $57 per person plus $25 parking fee. Taxi to the car rental agency:$20 each way. You may think you will skip the insurance to save, but our discounted rates more than make up for the cost of insurance.
1.The Self Drive Tour on this site includes all of the fees that you have to pay, there are no surprises. The other Self Drive Tours do not include vehicle insurance coverage (they try to scare you into buying it when you get there), their tour does not include the cost of refueling the car before returning.
2. The Self Drive Tour on this site discounts additional passengers beyond the 2 person minimum, other self drive tours charge the same rate even though the fixed cost of gas and rental fee are fixed.
3. Dollar for dollar, the Self Drive Tour on this site is the lowest price option for this type of tour and can even be less expensive than renting a car on your own.

Survey: Making Cut Out Cookies this Christmas?
Dust off your rolling pin and try to remember where you tucked away the cookie cutters. It's time to start cutting stars, bells, trees and Santas out of sugar cookie dough.
I agree that roll-out cookies are a picturesque tradition that's great for kids, but I am also brave enough to admit that they are a big hassle for not much flavor: make the dough, refrigerate it, roll it, cut out the shapes, bake and then frost or add sprinkles.
Each December, I remember being dissatisfied with last year's cut outs and ready for a new approach. I've tried making the dough in the food processor. I've added some spices or more vanilla or really good butter to pull more flavor out of the cookies. I've tried rolling the dough between plastic wrap and wax paper.
I can't get the vision out of my head: my two-tier glass cake stand decked with little handmade cookies decorated with sprinkles and those little silver dragees.
Today, I plan to sneak out of the office holiday party early to make "Grandma's All-Occasion Sugar Cookies" from Dorrie Greenspan's new book Baking: From My Home to Yours (Amazon.com, $24). The recipe says, "If you want to make roll-out cookies, shape each half into a disk and wrap in plastic." Then, after refrigeration, "roll out the dough between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper to a thickness of 1/4 inch." Scary stuff.
Any tips on rolling out the dough to get pretty cutouts? Do cookie presses really work? Are you planning to make roll out cookies this year? Let us know in this poll.
9 Comments
I am making 4 types of cookies: two drop and two ice-box type - where you slice up a chilled log of dough.
I like roll out cookies. But the ones I make are very similar in taste to one of the ice-box cookies. And it is much easier to make ice-box cookies.
I usually make these cookies at Christmas:
but I don't turn them into ice cream sandwiches. They're a little easier than roll-out cookies and they taste and smell very holiday-y. But if anyone's going to give them a shot, make sure to use a brand-new box of soft brown sugar. Otherwise the cookies get too hard and chewy...
I use this recipe, substituting spelt and kamut flour for the all-purpose flour it calls for (& without icing):
I find it's easy to roll out.
i'm making maida heatter's tried & true fruitcake icebox cookie - but i'm updating the cinnamon, candied cherries & walnuts to cardamom, pistachios & dried cranberries with orange zest.
i've also made these fab hazelnut sable stars - they are sinfully delish. maybe again? not sure if time will allow...
Above you asked, "Any tips...?" Here's a link which may be helpful to those making cut-out cookies this season!
Here's a[nother] cut-out cookie recipe:
I usually make gingerbread men. I have a cookie cutter for gingerbread women too!
And then sugar cookies shapes like stars and trees.
I make Imperial sugar cookies ... it's an old recipe from Imperial margarine. Sounds odd but it makes the best sugar cookies. I'm getting new cookie cutters this year because I'm sick to death of my old shapes but I'll make untold dozens of these cookies to give out. We hadn't even been discussing it but when my neighbor left our house last weekend after game night she said "I want my cookies unfrosted this year".
My 12-year-old son and I made a gingerbread house this year, and made some cookies from the leftover "construction-grade" dough. It rolled so easily and is so tough! I just don't have the patience I used to have for fussy rolled cookies. We're going to make chocolate crinkles and brown sugar shortbread this year - and possibly the ginger-chocolate chunk Martha cookies. But nothing rolled.
Sicilian fig cookies are a must each year. The others vary depending on how much time and motivation I have.
For cut outs, I've always used a sour cream sugar cookie recipe and a cinnamon recipe from a 1960s McCall's cookbook. Both are tender but crispy and have wonderful flavor, but we don't decorate them other than sprinkling colored sugar or cinnamon sugar on, because it masks the flavor. I've never found a recipe to equal either one of those.

I made this Top Gun inspired jacket for my overweight dog who actually enjoys wearing clothes (he's not uncomfortable in the photo, he's just always that awkward). Its made from camo vinyl and green faux fur inside to keep him warm. I didn't have any Top Gun patches but I did have old Girl Scout badges that I sewed on instead.

Last summer's limited series show, "Under the Dome" was a huge success and was picked up for a second season. On Jan. 8 IDTimes shares that Chester's Mill is going to be receiving three new residents. While this might seem a little unusual for a town literally living n a bubble, it isn't the first time that people have appeared from out of nowhere.
The newest residents are are described as follows; Sam, is best known as the crazy drunk that lives in the woods. It appears as though he is some sort of relative to Big Jim as well. Rebecca is a local teacher in Chester's Mill that Big Jim enlists to start up the school again, however, the kid's aren't likely to be learning reading, writing, and arithmetic. Big Jim has his own agenda of what the school should be teaching. Lastly, there is also a new girl in town that takes a huge interest in Joe and Norrie. This new girl is supposedly new to town so nobody knows anything about her.
Obviously, the new girl is among the most interesting, and people can't wait to see what her interest is in the two teens. What is Big Jim's new agenda that he is now pushing on the children of the town?
In another bit if exciting news, it was also announced that Stephen King himself will be a part of the writing team for the second season. Seeing as how King wrote the original book Under the Dome, the story line should get really interesting. Studio offices of "Under the Dome" is slated to open again at Jan. 13. Production should begin in February or March with a tentative premiere date of June if the second season will air roughly the same as last season.
What do you think of new Chester's Mill residents showing up "Under the Dome"?

Yes, I'm learning now that these things exist. So, when my neighbor's pooch runs away, I get an automated phone call telling me that "Rose Smith who lives on Main Street has lost her beagle. He's brown and white and answers to the name 'Tiger'." This message came in while I was away so it went to the answering machine. I swear it was over three minutes long of detailed information regarding helpful tips for the identification and trapping of Tiger so that I could return him to Rose. There were ideas of treats he prefers and how best to approach him. Ack!!
This was the second call in a week. When I received the first one, I thought it was just strange and chalked it up as a prank call or something random. I didn't think much of it until yesterday when I got the call about Tiger. Then that night, as we were sitting down to dinner, the phone started ringing again. I answered and was greeted by an automated voice telling me that this was another Pet Amber Alert and I swear to God I think he said, it was a "tortoise" that was missing this time. I couldn't hear for sure, because that's when I started yelling:
"Oh hell no! Stop calling me," I screamed into the phone and slammed it down. I know no one hears me yelling except my own family, but it made me feel better.
I am inundated on a daily basis with robo calls and I am irritated beyond belief with ALL of them. My congressman won't stop calling me (I didn't vote for you, asshole, take me off your list.), some shady sounding mortgage company who is offering me a "one time" only chance to refinance (If it is really a "one time" offer then why are you calling me twice a day?), and non-profits who will have donation trucks "in my area" on Monday (Half the time they say they're coming and I put my stuff on the curb, then they never show up. Ugh.).
I can not add another robo spam call to the mix. I just can't. Especially when it's about a missing pet. Look, I'm sorry that Tiger is missing and that sucks and you must be very upset, but you can't pay some asshole company 60 bucks to spam me with details about your dog. I will hang up every time. I will never listen to that message. That's absolute bullshit. Make a flyer and post that shit on a pole somewhere.
Also, you can't call it an "Amber Alert." That is a name that is reserved for missing kids. You can't take that name and just add "pet" to it and think that's OK. An Amber Alert is serious business and yes, I know pet owners think their missing pets are serious, but not as serious as a missing kid. You just can't compare the two. I've ranted on this before and I've heard that I'm a heartless asshole and it still hasn't changed my opinion. Your missing dog is not as important as a missing kid. Period.
I know all about the Do Not Call List and I'm on it. However, all of these organizations (including the damn Amber Pet Alert) are exempt and get to call me. In fact, Pet Amber Alert's site indicates they can call me four times within an hour!!
When I mentioned these calls to some friends, one commented that she's seen a flyer in her neighborhood for a missing cat. The flyer says "His name is Batman, but he answers to Bruce." Now, that's a robo call I'd actually like to hear. I imagine it would go something like this:
