The second season of Mob Wives premiered this week and boy oh boy am I hooked. I love these women. By love of course I mean I have to say that because I'm scared of what will happen if I don't. They are fantastically entertaining and even if you think you hate all reality television, give these women a shot. From the way it's shot, to the music, this show is perfect.
I won't recap who the women are because it will take too long, but you can watch season one on DVD and catch up if you want to get all the back stories. I think if you have not seen the show, and watch the season opener, you will want to go back and see how we got to where we are now. The show starts off with Renee, who is going to have some elective plastic surgery.
I love Renee. Of all the women she is the one I would want to go out for lunch with. I think she is beautiful and there is a vulnerability to her that makes me want to hug her. She is having a full body lift to hike up her boobs and flatten her stomach. I thought she looked great, but totally get that she wanted it and I understood her excitement about the outcome.
She felt something was off before the surgery and at one point tells the Dr. she is thinking about Kanye West's mother, who we all know died after complications from elective surgery. She has a gut feeling something is not right, but she has wanted the surgery for a long time and when the anesthesiologist is injecting your meds you can't really say stop.
Carla and Drita are getting together to hang out by the pool. Drita scares me to death. She is beautiful and if you saw her without hearing her speak, you'd think she was lovely. When she talks though, it's all over. This woman is hard as nails and even when she is not being aggressive, she sounds like she could snap at any minute and haul off and slug you in the face.
Carla is the least interesting of the women. By least interesting of course I mean not at all interesting. She is very pretty, but not at all compelling. The other ladies pop next to her, which is not hard to do, but they are all firecrackers except for Carla so I'm not sure why she is on the show. I think they should replace her with Big Ang, but we'll get to that soon.
Back at the surgery center, Renee is out of surgery and not feeling well. She is in horrible pain and seeing her is heartbreaking. She is begging for help and when her son comes to see her I almost cried. She is begging him to help her, he is telling her he loves her, and I found myself screaming at the TV for somebody to help her. She is rushed to the hospital.
After the surgery she has complications, loses a massive amount of blood, and almost dies. She needed to have a blood transfusion and the entire thing is horrific. Even knowing she is okay, and hearing her tell the story herself, it was scary. Karen has not heard from her since the surgery so she calls to check in and finds out Renee is still in the hospital.
I like Karen. She is hardcore, and at the same time, seems a little less intimidating than the others. She can pack a punch so maybe it's a case of the quiet one being the most dangerous. Out of all the ladies she seems the most aware of the cameras. She is serious in terms of her family mob connections, yet seems the least authentic. Sorry Karen.
Important to note that I am a Canadian Jewish chick and I really have no idea what would be deemed authentic. My only exposure to the mob life is through Hollywood, so chances are my ideas about the mob are 99% full of crap. Back to the show, Renee is out of the hospital and having a slow and painful recovery. She is ready for the nightmare to be over.
Carla is out for lunch with a friend and tells her that she knew Renee had surgery, but was not aware it had gone wrong and was serious. She says Renee should have gone to the gym and I just think Carla is horrible. She is boring, and not a good friend, and she can go. She is talking about her ex and who cares? I'm not digging her and scared to death that I said it.
Karen went to visit Renee and hears about the horrible experience she had. Renee says she is feeling insecure about her body, regretting she had the surgery, and shares that she suffers from depression and that the surgery made it worse. During the visit I realize that I actually love Karen. She is sweet and a good friend. I take it back Karen. You're a good egg.
Drita is taking boxing classes to help ease her aggression. This girl likes to fight. She may be the smallest, but she is the toughest. She is heartbroken about her husband cheating but says its aggravation. She is talking to the trainer and you see the fear in his eyes. She is telling the poor guy about how she feels better when she hits, and he looks like he might cry.
Drita tells us the next punch she throws will be in the ring. Okay Sweetie. Karen is having drinks with Ramona who is her childhood friend. Drita sends Karen a text saying she wants to talk but Karen is not into it. Ramona is clearly a troublemaker and likes to stir the pot. She is supporting her friend, but needs to back up a little or she'll be in the crossfire.
Renee starts with a new therapist. He is sweet and she is open to therapy which a great thing. I hope he can ease some of her pain. Sidebar: I think showing therapy sessions on reality television is unethical and should not be allowed. She is talking about Carla, and being threatening, and in the end no good can come of this being shown on the show. Not cool.
Renee is planning a birthday/hooray for life party for herself and she does not want to invite Carla. I wouldn't either. She is talking to Drita and gets some support from her in terms of her decision to not include Carla. Drita tells Renee she will work things out with Carla and Renee tells her to keep the drama away from her party. Drita assures her she will.
Drita then runs to Carla and tells her that she is not invited to Renee's party. Carla lets us know that she didn't want to go to the part anyway. Carla is annoyed by the while thing and says she had no idea Renee was so sick. The thing is, if your friend has surgery, and you don't hear from her for weeks, you call. That is what a friend would do. Carla is not a friend.
It's time for Renee's party and the girls are getting ready. Drita is texting Karen and trying to be nice so there is peace at the party and Ramona is making things crazy when they don't need to be. Renee's palette of eye shadows is hilarious. There are about 100 colors and it's exactly what I expect from her. There is going to be a blow up at this party.
Drita goes, is hanging solo until Renee arrives so she can say hello, have a drink, hug her and head out. Drita and Karen are staying away from each other and breath is being held. Renee arrives and she looks beautiful. It's a sweet moment for her because she almost died. Her ex Junior is there and when they hug I want them to get married and live happily ever after.
Renee invites the ladies up to the mic with her and Drita is not doing it. She feels put on the spot so instead of getting up with the others she goes outside. She is followed out by who is my new favorite reality television star. Big Ang. I freaking love this woman. She looks like a mob wife to me and I loved everything about her. Dump Carla and give us more Big Ang.
Drita tells Big Ang that she will talk to Karen so Big Ang goes to get her. When Karen heads out Big Ang says thank you which struck me as funny. The show ends with a preview of next week and Dear Lord it's going to get all gangster up in here. It's like the Sopranos only with real people. This show is riveting in the same way Tony and Carmela were.
If there is a reality show that actually has any reality in it, this one may be it. These women are entertaining beyond compare and are the real housewives. I have read this blog five times to see if I can make it any softer or nicer but I can't. This is my take and at the end of the day, if these women appreciate anything, it's the ability to keep it real.

I wrote a blog this week about LeAnn Rimes and the fact that I think her behavior on Twitter, in regards to her husband's ex-wife, is disgusting. It was just my opinion, which is what my blog is. I'm not a gossip columnist, just a writer who shares my opinions and views on things I think are interesting, from Judaism, to pop culture, and everything in between.
There was a lot of action on Twitter recently about LeAnn, her husband Eddie Cibrian, and his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville. I don't know any of them, and the blog was simply my take on a situation I have experience in. My ex-husband never cheated, but I do think he and his second wife were rude, mean, hurtful, and purposely disrespectful to me as a mother.
To be clear, I think LeAnn is a bit of a skank. By "bit of" of course I mean totally. She slept with a man, while he was married, and while she was also married. She left her husband to pursue a relationship with a man who had a family. I am not naïve enough to believe people don't cheat, but to me she seemed a bit obsessed with getting Eddie.
Again, just my opinion, based on news, comments from LeAnn, Eddie, Brandi, and various news outlets. After my original blog posted, The Jewish Journal received a call from one Darrell Brown. He spoke with the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal and stated he was a friend of LeAnn's, and was upset that I used the word "authenticated" in terms of stories about LeAnn's behavior.
My Editor told me about the call, and I altered the blog to say "I hear this has all been authenticated". It was not a big deal, and if it was what Mr. Brown needed to feel better, then I was happy to do it. It's a blog, not brain surgery, and it was done immediately. Interesting to note that he took no issue with my calling LeAnn a skank, only the word "authenticated".
After Mr. Brown spoke with The Jewish Journal, he felt the need to write about me on his Tumblr page. It is fascinating to me that someone who is clearly a successful man, would bother to write about me, but since he did, let's talk about it. I'm not sure if English is Mr. Brown's first language, but by the look of his blog, I would guess no, but that's not authenticated.
Mr. Brown's little article was offensive and ridiculous. You can take a look for yourself although I hope he will take it down. If you do get a chance to read it, the spelling is hilarious. Mr. Brown had the balls to call his crapfest "Hate and Intolerance"and went so far as to liken my writing about LeAnn to the Holocaust. Really? Well Mr. Brown, here we go.
I spent many years of my career working in Holocaust education at Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, and your comments about the Holocaust are offensive to me not only a Jew, but as a human being. To compare my blog about LeAnn Rimes to the treatment of Jews, homosexuals, gypsies and blacks during World War II is shameful.
Following the posting of this blog, Mr. Brown removed the Holocaust reference from his Tumblr post. He did not apologize for his offensive comment, simply removed it.
Mr. Brown's comments were idiotic. By his attempting to bash me, he showed his true colors. He was unprofessional, childish, vengeful, and completely unaware of what the Holocaust was. If I were in his industry I would run for the hills before working with a man of such unfortunate character. Ignorance often trumps talent, which is the case here.
To be clear, the focus of The Jewish Journal is not to "spread the message of acceptance and understanding", and Mr. Brown stating that the Editor-in-Chief "confessed" to him that I had "gone too far" is a lie. My blogs are the most popular at jewishjournal.com and I am proud of my work, as is my Editor. You have pushed the wrong Jew Mr. Brown, and you don't scare me.
Following the posting of this blog, Mr. Brown removed all mention of my Editor from his Tumblr post. He did not apologize for lying, simply removed the comment.
Now, if Mr. Brown would like to talk to me, I am happy to. I am also happy to speak with Ms. Rimes and allow her to tell her side of the story. I am also happy to go to court so anyone who is interested can see what is authenticated and what are allegations. I was simply sharing my opinion on a subject that has been widely reported on. To compare this blog to the Holocaust is offensive and and only proves one thing. Mr. Brown is a jackass.
I would like to invite Mr. Brown and Ms. Rimes to join me for a tour of The Shoah Foundation. Perhaps if they were properly educated about what the Holocaust was, and the genocides that continue around the world today, then maybe they could understand how horribly wrong the Tumblr article was.
At the end of the day, I stand by my opinions. I think LeAnn Rimes is disgusting. I think Darrell Brown is idiotic. I think Eddie Cibrian is doing a disservice to his children by allowing their mother to be treated this way. I think Brandi Glanville has the best interest of her children in mind. That is my truth, and this is America, so I'm just keeping it real.
*I feel strongly that Mr. Brown owes an apology to each and every person who was touched by the Holocaust. In fact, he owes an apology to to every human being who lives with a compassionate heart, and knows that genocides are continuing in the world today. Time for a reality check.
The Talmud says that he who saves one soul, it is as if he saved the entire world. Maybe this is the time for Mr. Brown to be saved, and therefore a blessing that all this happened around my blog. I am not sorry for anything that I have written. I was writing about a subject that many have written about, and Mr. Brown entered into it on his own, and made it personal.
I am not going to remove my blogs, and chances are I will probably write about this subject again. That said, thanks to Mr. Brown, this blog is no longer about LeAnn Rimes. It is now about tolerance, compassion, and doing the right thing.
Write an apology Mr. Brown. Do it because you know you were wrong. You can continue to pray that I get fired, and you can keep trying to make that happen, and you don't need to apologize for that at all. Just as I shared my voice about you, you are able to share yours about me.
I am asking you to please issue an apology for your insensitive comments in regards to the Holocaust. I will accept your apology and life will go on. In the future, you can have a go at me anytime you want, but go after me. Not my faith, the history of my people, or the atrocities that have forever shaped the history of the world.
Mr. Brown, I am sorry if your feelings were hurt. This is now about doing the right thing. I would like an apology from you, and I will happily repost your letter of apology here, so my readers and community can see it. I've done my part, now it's your turn to keep it real.

There have been a lot of articles written lately about reality TV star Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes. To recap: Brandi was married to actor Eddie Cibrian, and they have 2 young sons. Eddie cheated on Brandi with LeAnn while making a movie together. He left Brandi for LeAnn, and has now married her. Not an unusual story.
Marriages fall apart all the time, people cheat, and marry who they cheated with often. The difference here is that it has all played out in public. LeAnn is a successful singer, Eddie is an actor, and Brandi is finding success as a reality television star, having been added this season to the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
What makes this situation so fascinating is Twitter. Twitter is a bizarre world to be sure. I am on Twitter and have met some interesting people. People follow me to read my blogs, and read my tweets. I like it actually, and enjoy following people. My favorite "person" to follow on Twitter is @LuckytheBeagle. Follow this dog!
There are a lot of freaks on Twitter. It truly is a breeding ground for bullies. I write about Bravo's Housewives franchise a lot. Some of those blogs have inspired people to threaten to kill me, hurt my child, and get me fired. One person even said if I was not going to start being nice to Bethenny Frankel, they would find me and beat me up.
There is very little monitoring of Twitter and when I wrote them with the death threat, they suggested I simply block the person who made the threat. It's creepy, and if it was not so pathetic and funny, it would be terrifying. There are a lot of lonely people online who use Twitter as a way to pretend they are friends with celebrities.
It's a shame for the regular, fun and entertaining people who use Twitter to connect with their friends and the world at large. I get a kick out of Twitter and it's unfortunate that a few crazy people try to suck the joy out of it. You can block them all you want, but they come back, with new names, to keep their hate and madness going.
I have been reading a lot of Tweets about Brandi and LeAnn this week and it's incredible. People are passionate and have chosen sides, which is expected. If I were going to pick a side, I would have to go with Brandi on this one. It is my opinion that LeAnn Rimes has crossed a line. By crossed a line of course I mean she is coo coo.
It appears that LeAnn goes out of her way to torment Brandi and has become a stalker of sorts. It must come from a place of insecurity because why else would she be so hell bent on publically humiliating a woman whose children she claims to love so much? At the end of the day, LeAnn needs to grow up, shut up, and leave this poor woman alone.
LeAnn likes to refer to herself as a "bonus mom" to Brandi's children. Really? What LeAnn is, is a home wrecker who slept with a married man, then when she ripped apart a family, used her celebrity to bully and embarrass his ex-wife. One could argue that Eddie is to blame, and he is, but clearly he is a coward and not worth mentioning.
I don't know these people, but I do know, from my own experience, that LeAnn Rimes should be ashamed of herself. She uses her fans and Twitter to inflict emotional distress on a woman that she should be apologizing to. We were not in Brandi's marriage, and that Eddie has found love is fine, but to hurt her now, after all is said and done, is ridiculous.
When my ex-husband got remarried, my son was 4. He called me one day and asked if he could pick up our child, as he needed to go do something special for Mother's Day. When my son got home, he was very excited and told me he got something very special for Mother's Day. He was so cute and after about 5 hours could not stand to keep the secret.
He told me he had his picture taken for a coffee mug and computer pad and they said Happy Mother's Day. It was the cutest thing I had ever heard of and was excited for Mother's Day as I knew he was thrilled to give it to me. Mother's Day came and went without so much as a card. My ex-husband gave the presents to his new wife, and my son was crushed.
He drew me a picture that day, and we went to Color Me mine and he made me a beautiful plate. To this day, almost 12 years later, every Mothers Day my son tells me he is sorry about the coffee mug. As a child, he never understood why she got "my present". It was mean. To this day she refers to herself as his mother and it makes me sad.
I mention my own story to make the point that kids are not stupid. My son was young when he got a stepmother, and she assumed young meant dumb. My child, and Brandi's children, know who their mothers are, and they are protective of us. They will understand one day what was said and will not be forgiving. That time will come for LeAnn. I doubt she'll still be married, but it's coming.
By LeAnn trying to convince the world she is the mother of these two little boys, she is hurting them and making a fool out of herself. She can say she loves them, but her hate for Brandi is public knowledge and one day those boys will be men and she will have a lot of explaining to do. She can't take it back, but she can stop.
For LeAnn to use every opportunity to hurt Brandi in terms of her kids is disgusting. She can pretend all she wants that she is the mommy, but she is not. Eddie is a man who cheated on his wife, and walked away from his family. He is a pig and she is a skank, so why would she want to flaunt that to anyone? I would be hiding under a rock.
There are stories about LeAnn creating Twitter accounts to harass Brandi, and the phone number linked to some really mean tweets to Brandi, was traced back to the same number that is on LeAnn's Twitter account. I hear this has all been authenticated, and there are even pictures of LeAnn socializing with women who harass Brandi. LeAnn is mean spirited and very high school.
If we are to judge these three people by what we see through their celebrity, then Brandi is a class act. She has been challenged on RHOBH and each week I find myself liking her even more. Eddie is unemployed and apparently living with no balls, and LeAnn is a whore who cheated on her own marriage while stealing Eddie, and no longer eats.
I am certain that Brandi is not innocent in this mess, but that is irrelevant. The bottom line is that she is the mother of those children and LeAnn needs to back the hell up. Karma is a bitch and it will be interesting to see if LeAnn changes her tune when her cheating husband leaves her for someone else. Maybe then LeAnn will learn to keep it real.

Partially because I am addicted to reality television, and partially because I am a glutton for punishment, I watched 3 hours of the Kardashian crapfest and I now have a splitting headache. Partially from the laughing, and partially from the fact that the voices on these women makes me want to cut my own ears off just to make it stop. Why are they on TV
Let's review:
Khloe: She is actually quite likeable and funny. She is entertaining and seems the least aware of the cameras. That said, she spends a lot of time talking in a baby voice, which is incredibly annoying. The best thing going for Khloe is Lamar, and if she moves to Dallas she might have a shot at not drowning in crap like her sisters.
Kourtenay: This one is a whack job that gets some kind of sick pleasure out of embarrassing the father of her baby on television. Her voice is the most irritating out of all of them. She does not share a bedroom with her boyfriend, yet she is pregnant with their second baby. She does not want to marry him, but is happy with him serving as her sperm donor.
Kim: She is a fame whore, a porn star, and will do just about anything to be famous. The problem is that she is not good at any of the things she does. I have seen her attempt at porn and I have two words for her performance: wet noodle. She is a lousy dancer, a horrible sex star, a selfish sister, a crybaby, and in possession of absolutely no talent. None.
I think Kim's wedding was fake and Kris Humphries got screwed. By screwed of course I mean he is a moron. By moron of course I mean he is a young guy who got caught up in the madness that is the Kardashians and he never had a shot in hell. Kim used him for yet another 15 minutes. I'm sure he got screwed better figuratively than he did literally.
I won't talk about the two younger ones as they are children, and as for Rob, well, get a job son. He is sweet, and won me over on Dancing With The Stars, but he has a small window of opportunity to turn the good will we feel about him into something. If he waits too long, he will once again be the lazy brother, who lives off his name and does nothing.
Sidebar: I have the television on while I'm writing this and I just saw a commercial for Sears, featuring Kim, Kourtenay, Khloe and Kris. Dear Lord. The voices all together are simply too much for me to handle. Hearing them whine in unison makes me want to pull my hair out. By pull my hair out of course I mean pull their extensions out.
The baby talk, the screeching voices, the crying, the staged life for cameras, the insane amount of money they make, all of it is fascinating. Even more fascinating than the Kardashians being fascinating, is Barbara Walters still working. I think at 400 years old she should retire. She is simply too old to be interviewing pop culture fake celebrities.
Now, Betty White is old, but she is fabulous and should never retire. Ever. Barbara however just looks silly. Seeing this tiny woman interviewing people is weird. I grew up with Barbara and looked forward to her specials, but now she just seems out of touch and desperate to look relevant. She no longer has the appeal she had for so long, and someone needs to tell her.
The Kardashians are annoying, but oddly compelling, so they will never go away. We live in a Kardashian world and that's just how it is. We can mock them, or watch them, or both. The one thing that can make the Kardashian gang even more annoying, is having to see them talk to Barbara Walters. I mean no disrespect Ms. Walters, just keeping it real.

Let me begin by saying this show made me sick tonight. I am sick of these incredibly self-centered, and ridiculous women. A man is dead, three children have lost their father, and in my opinion all the RHOBH have a little blood on their hands. Shame on Bravo for airing this crap fest. At what point will Bravo take responsibility for the insanity and pull this show? When will they stop treating their loyal viewers like idiots?
We start off this trip to hell with Adrienne gossiping to her husband about Camille so we are all brought up to speed. Russell was never going to sue Camille and he was never going to sue anyone. If Camille was so upset about an email from Russell, she should have stayed home. If they are all so worried about the safety of Taylor, then why uninvite her to the party and potentially put her at risk with her abusive husband?
In the one fun scene during this train wreck, we meet the band for Pandora's wedding. Lisa dancing with the wedding planner is cute, Lisa crying into Jiggy is adorable, Lisa wiping her tears on Pandora's sweater is hilarious, and the bald singer who sings in Spanish is gorgeous. I'm laughing and thinking it's not going to be so bad, and then it's over. The next scene is with Kyle and there is simply nothing appealing about this horrific woman.
Over at Kyle's, she is getting ready for the party and gets a call from super bored Adrienne, who is stirring the pot. She says Camille "just got" an email from Russell threatening to sue. Really? I find it hard to believe Russell sent the email from his trip to Vegas with Taylor. Adrienne causes all the problems by calling Kyle to say she is not coming, then says she is coming, but might leave early. Adrienne is out of control.
Kim is having dinner with two of her older kids and they are all laughing at the fact that one of them took too much nighttime cold medicine and fell asleep in the shower. It's sad that Kim thought it was funny, however you could see her make a mental note to try it. The entire exchange with Kim and her kids is awkward. They obviously do not like her mom's boyfriend Ken, and it's weird because clearly we are not getting the full story.
The White Party is beginning and the gang is arriving. If Kyle did not have such a selfish soul she'd be beautiful. Brandi comes, without a bra, and looks fabulous. They went from almost throwing blows last week, to Kyle not wanting to uninvite her. Really? She won't uninvite Brandi who she hates, but will uninvite Taylor who is supposed to be her good friend? Camille should have stayed home. Her coming was the beginning of the end.
Lisa is talking to Kyle and no matter what Lisa says, Kyle makes it about her. What about me? What about me? We are supposed to believe Kyle could not reach Taylor by phone? That is a crock of crap and everyone knows it. Bravo housewives fans might be fanatical and crazy, but they are not idiots. Well, there are quite a few idiots, but overall we not stupid, and we are not buying this imaginary tale. The writers of this should be fired.
Are these pathetic losers seriously concerned that they are going to get sued by Russell? Lisa is trying to be compassionate toward Taylor after her weekend together, and Kyle is making it about her. Again. What about Kyle and her friendship with Taylor? Lisa wants to call Taylor and tell her not to come, to avoid any embarrassment, but she can't reach her. I want to shove Kyle into a pool of mud in her beautiful white dress.
Kim arrives and she is clearly not herself. By not herself of course I wean she is high. Not mellow pot high, but brutal using high. She is coughing all over Lisa and it's disgusting. Kim is a mess and should have been forced from this show immediately. I cannot stand watching her and find her completely painful. Everyone seems to have an opinion about Ken, yet everyone says they don't know him. It makes no sense.
Dana is there and completely a waste of space. She needs to not be on this show. Everything about her is silly and a waste of my time. Kim is still annoyed with Brandi and there is a fight brewing. Kim approaches Brandi and is confrontational, rude, abrasive, and insane. Brandi handles herself with class and dignity and I like her more each week. Kim insists Kyle is not a bitch, which is proof her drugs make her delusional.
Sidebar: Was Brandi's friend the house manager Jennifer Gimenez from Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew? We never really got a look at her face, but it looked like her. I love her. We then cut to Russell and Taylor in the limo ride over and it is shocking. Taylor is telling him she loves him, and kissing him, and they look like a happy couple. It's the strangest scene ever and incredibly unnerving. I feel so bad for Russell and his family.
It is heartbreaking to see Russell because he seems to have no idea about the crap Taylor has been saying about him. She clearly was not telling him anything about her stories. I think we can safely assume this man was not an angel, but I honestly think she pushed him to the limit with her lies. How could he recover from the picture she had painted of him? How do you come back from hell with the devil living in your house?
Russell and Taylor get to Kyle's and she runs out with her posse to confront Taylor. She is fake crying and trying to crack her voice and it's pathetic. Taylor is in shock and Russell is standing there not sure what is happening. We are watching Taylor getting caught in her web of lies and I can't help but feel bad for Russell. He looks ambushed. He responded to a rumor from Camille and is unaware the rumor was actually from Taylor.
It is a horrible scene. Everyone is ganging up on Russell and it is so uncomfortable. Taylor and Russell leave and Kyle runs after them fake crying. Russell assures her it's fine and they want to go. Adrienne is being a busybody and Taylor is correct in saying that Camille should have simply stayed home. Taylor's lies are unraveling and you can see her fear. She looks oddly at peace and it's very unsettling.
After an hour of watching this slow and painful train ride through hell, I am torn between wanting to take a shower to get the gross off of me, and wanting to go and put flowers on Russell's grave. I am seriously surprised and puzzled by so many things this week I don't know what to do. Here are my top ten questions from this week's show, which I am sharing in the hopes that my readers might have some answers for me.
1) Why does Adrienne never brush her hair?
2) Does Adrienne think it is 1986?
3) Is Paul Nassif a little person?
4) Was watching Dana feel up Kim necessary?
5) How old is Jiggy?
6) How long after the White Party did Russell die?
7) Is Adrienne's stylist blind?
8) Why do we watch this show?
9) Why did Camille go to the party?
10) When will this crapfest be over?
I think the ladies of Atlanta are out of control with their fighting, hating and whoring, and I'm not sure how the new seasons of Orange County and New York will look, but I am certain that the ladies of Beverly Hills should only come back if they are going to get a new cast. I would like to see Brandi and Lisa return, and all the others need to get canned so we can start fresh. That 's the only shot in hell Bravo has to keep it real.

We start this week with Sheree and Phaedra. Sheree is unhappy with Phaedra's legal moves and is not very good at hiding her inner witch. Phaedra is classy, does not get upset, and returns Sheree's retainer and wishes her well. Phaedra is a lady and Sheree is an immature baby.
Phaedra is annoyed she never got her retainer until the last minute, but I recall Phaedra telling Sheree she would not charge her. Sheree is complaining it's not worth all the trouble for $100.00. Really? I bet her kids would like an extra hundred bucks every month. Selfish.
Over at Kim's she is getting ready to move and she is super annoying. I really dig Kroy, but Kim is too much. I don't think she is particularly entertaining, but there is something compelling. Her new show will unravel her life and it is too bad she is selling her soul to the reality devil.
Cynthia is hosting an art event and it's hilarious to see exactly how uneducated these women are. Sheree says she loves abstract art. The first art word she could find in the dictionary. Over with NeNe, she is not a fan of art but thinks 24K is not a bad price.
I love NeNe and think she is the best part of this show, but girlfriend needs to put on a bra. Cynthia thinks having Marlo, the transvestite hooker, at her event is a seal of approval from Atlanta's high society. Cynthia seriously needs to just stop talking. Darling Cynthia, shhhhhhhhh.
Sidebar: What exactly is the word "AXSTD"? I am so sick of hearing these women mispronounce the work " ASKED". Can someone please clarify if that is a Southern thing, or simply a moron thing? Whatever it is, it needs to stop because it makes you sound ridiculous when you say it.
Cynthia and Peter are getting their pictures taken for a "power couple" photo shoot. Really? Is she kidding? Power couple? Cynthia is getting her makeup done and Peter says he is ready to go. Cynthia shows Peter the invitation to her agency opening and he immediately bags on it.
He is simply not nice to her. He is mean and jealous and condescending. She responds to him like a child. They are irritating to watch. He is unpleasant and she is too stupid for me to follow with any great interest. She is begging him for help and he wants nothing to do with her.
Kim is moving and each minute we see this woman is a reminder we should not watch her new show. Her voice grates on me the same way Sammi from the Jersey Shore irritates me when she calls for Ron. The trip through memory lane of Kim's townhouse is a waste of time.
Over at NeNe's, her son Bryson is with her. He has cut his hair and now looks like a lovely young man. He is a big kid and while he has been a little bit of trouble for NeNe, he seems better now and I like that she has stuck by him through his troubles. They are funny together.
NeNe is talking to him about sex and good for her. They are open with each other and it's sweet. I hope he finds his way and gets on a career path. NeNe is good television and it seems like she is not on the show much these days. That is a shame, and mistake in my opinion.
Kim and the family arrive at their new house and get a tour. It's very big and very beautiful. The main decorating theme is Kim. There are pictures of her all around the house and it's a little creepy. I like how Kim calls everyone Love, but it's not enough to watch her show.
To clarify, when I say I am not watching her new show, I am totally going to watch her show. I will watch, and blog, and it will be good. That said, it will be work, not fun. I watch a lot of reality television for fun and very little for work. This one is going to be painful, therefore work not fun.
We see a scene where Kim needs to pump her breasts. She is on the freeway pumping, while her daughter steers the wheel from the passenger side of the car. Really? This is a disgusting display of bad parenting and she could have killed her kids with such recklessness.
Kim is not the first woman to have a baby and her whining and bad choices are out of control. She is on the fast track to becoming Bethenny, who got her own show and became so unappealing we lost interest. I can handle Kim in small doses, but not another Bethenny.
Kandi is talking to Jo Dee Messina and it's awkward. Kandi is talented but her whoring herself out to make a dollar is just sad. Vibrators, country music, a clothing store? Instead of rushing to create an empire, pick a lane and stay in it. She is all over the place, and a mess.
Cynthia is getting ready for her opening and says she is under pressure because people don't look at models as being good "business peeper". This woman is insanely beautiful. That's it. That's not all I have to say, just all she is. Bless her. Her sister comes over and she is crying again.
If the opening of her business was so important, why was she not there on time? She should have been there first, welcoming people. Instead she is whining nobody is there, but even she is not there. Someone needs to help this girl out and it's not Peter. She needs to dump him.
Cynthia finally arrives and is relieved to see people have turned up. Peter is a dick, Kandi is a troublemaker, and Sheree wants us to think there is yet another air conditioning problem in Atlanta, when really it may just be her menopause kicking in, as she's the only one sweating.
Kim arrives to the party and is immediately accosted by Marlo. Kim tells us Marlo sleeps with men for money, and is disgusted by the thought. Too funny. Pot, meet kettle. NeNe arrives, looks fabulous, and it's the first time Kim and NeNe have been in the same place for a very long time.
They are ignoring each other, which is fine because we are focused on Marlo and Kandi. Marlo is trying to get as much screen time as he is able, and Kandi is calling him out on his crap. Kandi is a troublemaker. For someone trying to make America love her, she is not very nice.
Marlo is accusing Kandi of being a Sugar Momma, and saying she has no Big Poppa, which is putting Kim over the edge. Kim has had it and leaves. She acts like she is too good for the show that made her, and has moved beyond the women. She is just like Bethenny and it's gross.
Kandi is not letting it go and Marlo admits she dates wealthy men and they give her things. It's exhausting to watch these women. None of them are really friends and they are not good enough actresses to make us believe they are. The night ends with the complete humiliation of Cynthia.
She gets up to speak and thank people. Her speaking skills are horrible, but that's not the humiliating part. She calls up Peter to thank him and share her moment but he's not there. He bailed and left her alone. He is a pig who is going to lose his super hot wife any moment.
I like these women. Well I like some of them, and others scare the crap out of me. Their fighting and fake friendships are exhausting and they need to get back to the fun. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm excited for the return of the ladies of OC. Time for them to not keep it real.

It's a bonus episode of the ladies of Atlanta and I am not ashamed to say HOORAY! I dig these chicks and even though some of them are annoying, they are the most fun to watch of all the housewives train wrecks. We are taking babies home and heading into court so let the recap begin!
Sheree gets served with papers from her ex Bob. He wants to not only continue to not pay child support, but also keep her in court for years with some crazy civil lawsuit. Bob Whitfield is a douchelord, Sheree is freaked out, and Phaedra is simply fabulous, calm, and ready to put Bob in jail.
Sheree has not received child support in three years, yet she is not willing to have Bob arrested. She is complaining about how unfair the court system is, but when given an option to have the upper hand, she does not want it. I get that arresting the father of her children is sad, but come on Sheree.
I feel for Sheree, but if she does not want to take control of the situation, she needs to stop complaining about it. Don't play the poor me I have no money card, then pretend to build a chateau, and not do anything to get the money owed you. Bob is a pig, but Sheree is a doormat. What's worse?
Kandi is doing her Internet talk show which makes me wonder: How is telling the world your favorite sexual position a good thing for your young daughter? How is it anyone would find a man who cannot speak proper English attractive? What idiot at Bravo thought this was entertaining?
Charles and Marlo, who are clearly being used as possible new cast members, or perhaps just lightening rods to annoy NeNe, are on the show and they are not cute. Charles cannot speak English and is a little scary looking, and Marlo seems to think her talent for getting a ball player is God given.
Over at Kim's, she is taking her insanely perfect and gorgeous baby son home and is once again void of any real emotion or warmth. Her voice is monotone and when she talks, regardless of what she is saying, she sounds like she is complaining and unhappy. I'm happy for her but don't feel any connection.
Cynthia and NeNe are shopping and once again Bravo wants to treat us like we are idiots. Cynthia is prim and proper and always talking about how she is married and wants to be respectful, yet we are supposed to believe she watched Kandi's show to learn of favorite sexual positions?
She is telling NeNe about the show with Charles and Marlo, but it would appear that she did not watch it as much as she read the notes that Bravo gave her about the show. NeNe is fabulous, over the whole Charles things, and insists that Charles never got her Hello Kitty. I love Nene.
Sheree is over at Phaedra's to pick an outfit to wear to court, where she is going to ask for money, in her Valentino suit, driving her brand new Porsche. Interesting approach. Phaedra is fabulous television and tells Sheree she can wear Noche but not Dolce. I love Phaedra and her one-liners.
Listening to her talk about Sheree's "monster" booty is hilarious. Phaedra needs to have her own talk show and Sheree needs a reality check. I have friends who are driving cars that are 10 years old and still waiting for child support, so she is a little offensive. She needs to decide what she wants.
We can be sympathetic toward her and the fact that her ex-husband is not taking care of his kids, or we can think she is a fame whore who is flashy with her car and chateau. We are not going to support both so pick a side Sheree. Chances are we won't care about either side, but pick one.
I love a good vibrator, but Kandi talking about them on this show is not cute, and pulling them out in a restaurant is not entertaining. Kandi has a little girl and this storyline makes me sad for her. Do any of these housewives think about how their choices affect their children? I'm thinking not so much.
Over at Kim's she is complaining again. About everything. I feel bad for Brielle who is not sure where she fits into the new family, but then she insists the effort starts with an A and I'm over it. The scene with the washing of the wigs is what Kim's new show will be, I'll pass.
Sheree owes Phaedra $5000 as a retainer and she is not paying. How does this woman have any money at all? She can pay for a new car but she can't pay the reduced fee to her friend? If I had as many secrets as these chicks I would not choose reality television as an option.
It's court day and we see a nervous Sheree crying while she gets ready. We also see that her apartment has not a lot of stuff in it. She is shown driving a new car but has no stand for her television. How is her kids sleeping on a mattress on the floor, but she has a Birkin? What is her deal?
Sheree is all a about show. Shame on her for putting how she looks above how her children live. It pisses me off. She needs to send Bob's ass to jail, get her money, drive a used Honda, and stop crying. Phaedra calls to give her a pep talk, and she calls her mom for support but can't reach her.
Kim's parents come over to visit the baby and it feels weird. Bravo is setting up their new show and it's lame. We are focusing on RHOA so stop force feeding us. Kim's show will be about listening to Kim complain, talk about penises and sore vaginas, and picking on Brielle. Yeah, I'm out.
Over in court, Sheree's mom surprises her and shows up. It's very sweet. They go in and the madness begins. Bob looks like a big, dumb ogre and before they even start, Bob hits Sheree with a contempt of court case that she stole things that were to awarded to him in the divorce.
Sheree and Phaedra are blindsided, the case is postponed, and Sheree has no idea what is going on. Bob leaves and hugs his mother-in-law on the way out and it's sad. Bob is a loser, who wants to hurt Sheree. He may have gone to Stanford, but he is a douche who is hurting his kids.
That said, one must wonder what Sheree would do with all the child support should she ever get it. I am disgusted by what appears to be her choices. Of course I don't know her, and am basing my opinion on what Bravo shows us, so the truth is up for grabs but it does not seem kosher to me.
Phaedra, Kandi and Sheree are having lunch. Kandi and Sheree are crying, and Phaedra is having none of the blame put on her. These women are fun, but super fake. The authenticity of these women made it entertaining but as the truth is revealed, we see none of them are keeping it real

The other shopping bag was a request for donations to Baptist Mega-Church's Food Pantry. A list of requested food items was attached. All I need to do to contribute is fill the grocery bag with food and leave it on my front porch next Saturday for pick-up.
Pretty clever, eh? Leave some gifts and ask for donations. Actually, there are a number of non-Christians among our neighbors. Most of them are Hindus, but there are also a few Muslim families. Perhaps the efforts of Baptist Mega-Church will prove fruitful in the long run. Gotta love the Baptists: they aren't reluctant to evangelize.
I skimmed through Fifty Reasons and don't think that it would be very helpful to someone who had no background with Christianity because it seems to assume familiarity with the Bible and basic Christian theology. How To Find God, on the other hand, prefaces the New Testament text with some basic Christian concepts and a "How to Study the Bible" introductory chapter. The NLT text is a modern paraphrase. Its layout seemed "gimmicky" to me, though--lots of little text boxes and asides. I wonder if that type of layout, which looks more like a contemporary magazine than a book, is more inviting to someone totally unfamiliar with the Bible?
Although it is impossible for me to put myself in the place of a non-Christian and evaluate what kind of books on the subject would be appealing, I did start to wonder what books I would include in a gift bag like this if I were organizing this evangelism/service project. I'm thinking that Calvin's Institutes and the Book of Confessions aren't very seeker-friendly! For an introduction to the Bible, you can't beat The Bible From Scratch (OT and NT volumes) by Donald Griggs, but those books are meant to be read in a group setting, not on your own Christianity for Dummies, seems to be for, well, dummies, and not appropriate my well (or over!) educated neighbors. Maybe I would include C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity or Robin Griffith-Jones' wonderful analysis of the gospels, The Four Witnesses. If I were including a New Testament I would choose Eugene Peterson's The Message paraphrase. It doesn't have chapters and verses and reads more like a regular book.
What would you put in the bag?
Since their Food Pantry serves a lot of needy people in our neighborhood, we'll be leaving a full grocery sack on the doorstep for them to pick up next Saturday. I hope they get a lot of donations.

January 31, 1996 - R-rated Videos in Schools
I read with interest an article in the January 26, 1996 Rocky Mountain News about a teacher who wanted to show an R-rated video to his high school class.
The issue is not new. It has been raised by parents in Adams County, Jefferson County, and is under consideration right now in Douglas County.
January 3, 1996 - Nicky Mead
The December 30,1995 News Press carried a story about the death of Genevieve Mead. To her Douglas County friends, she was Nicky. As one of her long-time associates put it, "Genevieve was for checks and legal papers."
But when she left Douglas County for Denver, she introduced herself as Genevieve. When I met her in 1992 -- and was immediately captivated by her resolutely cheerful and gracious persona -- she called herself Genevieve. So she will remain for me.
January 10, 1996 - EBSCOhost
Over the past year, the Douglas Public Library District has conducted several experiments. Our aim was to provide direct public access to electronic magazine indexes and full text.
Three years ago, we tested, at no charge, a CD-ROM based product. It was OK, but in my judgment, surprisingly expensive. We would have had to buy a PC for it; only one person could use it at a time; and the annual charge for 12 CD updates was several times the cost of a paper index. Too, the product did not include full text. I decided not to invest in it.
January 17, 1996 - 1995 Statistics
When I first got started in libraries, I had a very narrow view of what it was all about. I stayed focused on the things I was responsible for: the number on the spine of a book to be re-shelved, the card to be stamped in the book, the card to be filed in the daily circ (circulation) drawer.

A Handbook on Local Strategies to Slow Climate Change
?We wrote this handbook to help local governments and communities throughout Oregon understand how specific community development, land-use, and transportation planning techniques can enable us to reduce our carbon footprints. The desired outcomes of such planning often are described as "smart growth" or "sustainable development."
The handbook is aimed at local elected officials, planning commissioners, planners, community organizations, and developers. It describes planning tools currently available as well as new climate action plans that can advance local efforts to reduce transportation related GHG emissions.
Model Development Code for Small Cities
First published in 1999, Oregon's Model Development Code and User's Guide for Small Cities ("Model Code") has been used widely around Oregon. The TGM Program developed the model in response to numerous requests for assistance from Oregon communities. Small cities wanted consistent guidance and technical expertise in zoning, development standards, review procedures, and implementation of state planning rules and statutes.
In developing the model code, now in its Third Edition (2012), the TGM Program worked with a statewide advisory committee consisting of city officials, planning commissioners, state and regional planning agency representatives, and land use advocates, and business representatives.

Discover Tucson's Mariachi roots via solar art on Gutierrez Bridge
Friday, April 12th, 2013Interested in solar art alignments? Here's your chance to discover Discovery Dates which occur 12 times a year.
Engraved into the sidewalk on the north side of the new Gutierrez Street over the Santa Cruz wash, at Cushing Street is the Discovery Date of April 10:
Tucson owes many of its mariachi roots to Father Arsenio Carrillo and Father Charles Rourke and their group "Los Changuitos Feos". April 10th, 1983 was the date of Tucson's First Mariachi Conference, an idea first conceived by Randy Carrillo, nephew of Father Carrillo, and member of "Mariachi Cobre." (Discovery Date and Time: April 10, 9:30 a.m.)
Freelance photographer Charity Bidegain recently took photos on April 10, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. when the sun shone through the overhead canopy onto these words, causing a solar alignment. See photos below, with more on a Facebook page. She has posted previous Discovery Date photos on the Luis G. Gutierrez Bridge facebook page, which she created.
I wrote about a previous solar alignment event on March 15,2013 regarding Father Eusebio Francisco Kino (click here). My previous article also lists the rest of this calendar year's Discovery Dates. My first experience with these solar alignments was on the February 19 Discovery Date of the first airplane flight over Tucson.
Upcoming: solar alignment on May 25 (Mars Phoenix Lander), but be there before 10:30 a.m. or you might miss it.
And don't miss 31st annual International Mariachi Conference at AVA Amphitheater at Casino del Sol Resort on April 25-27.

The OOC for our char sheets! Not sure what the skeleton should be, so I'll just post a basic one and depending on what YOURS is, I'll edit mine to be more detailed/better fit the setting.
name: Garet Kincade
age: 34
physical description: medium length dark brown hair, blue eyes, clean shaven, tall with a muscular (but not ripped) build. He wears a black leather jacket and black sweater; he carries a shortbow and a sawed-off pump-action shotgun, as well as a silenced 9mm pistol. He wears black boots, a bowi knife sheathed in an ankle-scabbard.
Bio: He's been trying to survive in this hell since he was born--who hasn't? One of very few humans left in the world, he doesn't even bother hunting the vampire threat. Instead, he hides out in the woods, constantly on the move, hunting, fishing, and living off the land. His parents were killed when he was 12 years old, forcing him to grow up fast. He is serious, cautious, stealthy: the consummate survivor. With skills in tracking, basic first aid, fire-starting, and making shelter, Garet Kincade knows how to live in the Badlands.

- Untitled Review by mcleod william
Quality This is an excellent piece with a very rare and unique design found almost nowhere else. These are the wifes favorite piece of body jewelery she wears proudly on her nipples. Worth every penny, they make a great statement under white shirts! Usual chaingang quality, from the box it comes in to the colour printed reciept. 5 stars.

Quality I have not put them in yet but I am very satisfied with them, well made and if the finish lasts a lifetime they will be perfect. I am ordering another pair now that I have seen the quality!

- Untitled Review by Matt
Quality I Love the earring! It is unique and nobody else has them. The only problem with them is the notches on the ball are so small its difficult to line it up to snap it in. The ball snaps in and out super easy and they are the perfect piece of jewelry

Virtual Domains and qmail
The program qmail is a secure and reliable replacement for sendmail; it was written by Dan Bernstein at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I was attracted to it for several reasons, the most important being that it runs under Linux.
qmail is substantially more secure than sendmail. The system is partitioned into several modules, minimizing the amount of code which runs as root. The /var/spool/mail directory is gone; incoming mail for a user is stored in the user's home directory, eliminating a nagging security hole. qmail gives you control over which mail you accept. You can selectively allow other hosts to use your system as a relay, blocking out all others.
qmail supports mailing lists with automated subscriptions, and these lists can be configured and maintained entirely by the user. No intervention is required on the part of the system administrator to create a new list.
qmail's performance is stellar. Dan Bernstein cites Red Hat Software as an example. Red Hat was running sendmail 8.7 on a 48MB Pentium and found their daily load of 70,000 messages was beginning to overwhelm the system. They switched to qmail on a 16MB 486/66, and their mail hub is now running fine, even on the less powerful hardware.
The reason I began looking into qmail as an alternative to sendmail is the fact that qmail supported e-mail for virtual domains correctly long before sendmail did. Those of you running several virtual domains on a single Linux host can rejoice. With qmail, the e-mail names you select for your virtual domains come from per-virtual-domain name spaces, rather than a single host-wide name space. This means you can have e-mail names like firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com simultaneously.
The only problem we have had with qmail is the fact that its outgoing queue uses inode numbers in its database; this means the queue cannot be backed up on one machine and restored to another. When we have a disk failure, we must recreate an empty qmail queue directory rather than restoring from backup.
The fact that qmail is not sendmail implies some complications when installing add-on e-mail packages like majordomo. In general there are patched versions of these packages available for qmail.
The qmail sources are available at ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail.html and a lot of useful information is available at http://www.qmail.org/. Compilation and installation of qmail is straightforward. Those who balked at the sendmail.cf file will be pleasantly surprised at qmail's configuration. Everything is human readable and easy to understand. Some claim that sendmail.cf is human readable, but I would argue that point.
Once you have qmail configured and operational, you can start adding virtual domains. The rest of this article deals with virtual domains under qmail. All file and path names assume the default qmail installation.
Set up the new virtual domain normally. Many of you will have already done this to support the virtual domain with other services like Apache httpd. Make sure there is an MX record in DNS to point mail for the virtual domain to the host running qmail.
Create a master user ID and home directory for the new domain. The master user is just a user who will control all mail for your virtual domain. I generally create a user ID for each virtual domain which the administrators of that domain can use to upload the content for their web site. qmail can use the same user ID.
Add a line to /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains for the new domain, directing mail for that domain to the user created above. If the domain is abc.com and the user is abc, an appropriate line would be:
Add abc.com to /var/qmail/rcpthosts to tell qmail you're willing to accept mail addressed to abc.com. Ensure abc.com does not appear in /var/qmail/control/locals/.
Once mail is directed to a user, it is controlled through a series of .qmail-xxx files in that user's home directory. Create the file ~abc/.qmail-default, to indicate user abc is willing to accept all mail directed to the abc.com domain.
Restart qmail and e-mail for all users at abc.com, i.e., email@example.com, email@example.com, etc. will now be received by the local user abc. I suspect this is not precisely what you had in mind, so read on.
Qmail is good mail server daemon!
Qmail is good mail server daemon.It's easy configure than sendmail.especial in virtual domain.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

July 3rd, 2007: I've been intending to link to this article for a while! It's a story with some good coverage of webcomics and interviews with myself, Nick of The Perry Bible Fellowship, Dorothy of Cat and Girl, and Joey of A Softer World. Nice! I hope you like it.
So the last comic about steganography did indeed have a hidden message in it. The comic was larger than usual and in a different format, but that's because I was describing a way to hide information in JPG files, and so felt like I had to use a JPG file. I made the compression on it really low so that it wouldn't look ugly on the site. I got a bunch of emails from people who figured it out, and am sending the fellow who emailed me first with the solution a free t-shirt. It was a "contest" that I "didn't announce". Congratulations, Jeff!
FINALLY but most impressively, I wanted to point you to this news story from Howard County, where two teens wrote a perfect SAT. Ultra mega props go out to one of the teens, Russell, who in the video that goes along with the story, not only got the cameraperson to shoot a close up of his Professor Science t-shirt, but ALSO got a shot of Dinosaur Comics included too. Russell I don't know how you did it, but that made me very happy! Thank you. I will refer to you as "Russell, the coolest guy at Reservoir High School" to anyone who asks. I am already doing it mentally. Russell, the coolest guy at Reservoir High School, I hope you enjoy your education! Congratulations on the perfect SAT!
To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas!
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)
One year ago today: MORAL: if you are faced with something that doesn't seem to have a desirable solution, maybe try adding rockets! space rockets!

This light arrived with only one minor flaw, it was missing a common screw. It was easily replaced and after that it was quickly assembled. It is really beautiful. It looks better in person than on the internet. We are really happy with our purchase.

Recipe by Drizzler
"This salad is perfect for summer BBQs. The fruit makes it tasty."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup lemon yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups watermelon balls
2 cups cantaloupe balls
2 cups halved fresh strawberries
Added a few raspberries, blackberries and blueberries (had them in the fridge). The yogurt sauce is light and delicious with a definite zing of honey. One suggestion would be to not add the sauce to the fruit until you're ready to serve. With the liquid releasing from the melon balls, the sauce will thin out very quickly and fall off of the fruit. Great summer fruit salad!
I threw in some fresh blueberries. This was HEAVEN. We absolutely loved it. NO leftovers.
19 Ratings
Great salad for a hot day! I substituted blueberries for strawberries just so I didn't have to go to the store. It was heavenly!
This salad is wonderful! However, I would recommend one of two options, either adding the sauce right before serving, or leaving separate for a dip. I LOVED this recipe, and for a little twist I substituted lime juice for the lemon juice.
Made this for a mother's day brunch. I doubled this recipe. There was none left. It got raves. The sauce for the fruit did not change the flavor of the fruit. It enhanced the freshness. Great recipe.
Would definitely make again! I added blackberries, and raspberries, as well. Like some other folks mentioned, I would recommend adding the sauce right before serving. Otherwise, it gets a little watery.
Made no changes to the recipe. Delicious!
