Why, just because they're seamstresses, janitors, doctors, butchers, garbage people, scientists, crooks, movie stars, mathematicians, dentists, salespeople, authors, swindlers, saviors, your tired, your hungry, your poor …
They're all that; they are, indeed "The Jewish Americans." And now they are also the focus of an epic epistle — a TV love letter with some bittersweet kisses and a pinch of the cheeks — that will sweep and kvell its way across the television landscape for the next three Wednesdays, beginning Jan. 9, at 9 p.m., on WHYY-TV12.
Six degrees of separation? Six hours of connection as producer David Grubin's masterwork of American menschen celebrates more than 350 years of a people's past and persistence in what passes as a blip of TV time.
He's got it all here — as do PBS; Thirteen/New York; JTN Productions; and WETA/Greater Washington, co-creators of this splash of a series: "They Came to Stay/A World of Their Own," Jan. 9; "The Best of Times, the Worst of Times," Jan. 16; and "Home," Jan. 23, a triumphant triptych homing in on a history of hearth and hate that made mincemeat of the Melting Pot theory as Jewish Americans were on the bubble of their own historic actions.
That's some big matzah ball hanging out there: Examining such diverse dynamos and their devotion to the creation of a distinct profile — as well as the anti-Semitism they faced with actions and art work probing their proboscis of a "Jewish profile" — these are saints and sinners with portfolio.
So, what did Irving Berlin and Hank Greenberg have in common? They were both power hitters who could make a song and a swing soar.
Going for the fences — and depicting accurately those biases and bases that fenced new Jewish Americans in and how the gates swung open to heaven for them, too — Grubin grows a portrait that is at once comprehensive and conditional on the kindness of strangers — and the concreteness of the Constitution.
There is no statute on liberty, he proves; this is no homogenized hegemony here, but rather a 2 cent plain with elaborate undercurrents; a cream soda foamy with the milk of human kindness and the occasional curdle of anti-Semitism.
And who better to draw the Jewish American image than a Jewish icon of incredible facility? A three-time Peabody Award winner, who has limned so many leading lights on screen, initially going from "RFK" to "LBJ" to "FDR" and, now, to "JA," Grubin has done all of them letter perfect (not to mention not giving short shrift to a terrific film on "Napoleon," and his three-hour "The Mysterious Human Heart," as well as "The Healing and the Mind of Bill Moyers").
He is the heart and brains behind this sensational six-hour accomplishment, a sextet and the city and countryside that courts and canvases history since Jews' arrival on these unsure shores in New Amsterdam, where no one gave a damn for their chances at first some 350 years ago.
To achieve such a landmark series, Grubin's got his own story to tell — which may be one reason why the National Museum of American Jewish History here in Philadelphia has dubbed him its "official chief storyteller in the development of the new core exhibition of its new museum."
But Grubin is not mainlining the Philadelphia story here; his great achievement is in painting a panorama that goes from, at times, unsteady sea to shining sea. (And, yes, Jewish Americans can sail, too.)
"We need to talk" intergenerationally, says the producer/director/cinematographer whose choice of smoothie Liev Schreiber for narration is a soothing choice for a historic documentary that rocks and roars.
Cool-hand Leviticus? What we got here is a failure to communicate between the old and new Jew — the dangerously disengaged dialogue where one generation can't hear what the other is saying?
"The Jewish Americans" doesn't give this conceit lip service; it opens the lines of communication with a wide embrace, an empathetic hug.
Today's Jew "has put a different face on what it means to be Jewish. They've grown up in prosperity; there was no discrimination" that they faced.
Grubin says that discretely, realizing, of course, that hatred of Jews is an historic mainstay albeit less a fear than it had once been.
But the Jewish generation that generates so much of the series' appeal is made up of "those who grew up in the '30s," airing the Jewish agenda of what Tom Brokaw might have called, had be been inclined to, "The Greatest Jewish Generation."
A New Comfort Zone
How times change. But the present benefits from the past, a conduit for a new Jewish comfort zone. "This new generation likes its Jewishness; they take it seriously. They are the less frightened Jew.
"They know about the Holocaust, but it's not as if they were there."
Where does this series fit into the here and now? Don't expect all the answers, answers Grubin. "I did not make this film to be the Jewish Hall of Fame," he says with a laugh.
Cooperstown for the Our Crowd core? It is not all Jews all the time, but, nevertheless, a nearly numbingly insightful number "who contributed to society," all comin' through the rye … bread:
There she is … Miss America: Bess Myerson, the erstwhile Miss New York City, who was the new face of Jewish beauty back in 1945 when she took the crown and the kuved in an Atlantic City of diving horses and steel piers.
Play it again, Sam … okay, his name is Mandy Patinkin, not Sam, but he is a music man with a plan — which includes singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in a voice so angelic it would make a Yiddish kite soar.
And as far as parking it outside the ballpark, there's Greenberg, whose refusal to play on Yom Kippur resonates with the resin that would one day lie in the hands of a Sandy Koufax.
There are also the strikes — the unions, the labor organizers — and the strike threes to the heart in which some Jews were called out by a fast one at the knees. "There are some who may not have wanted us to tell all that we told; for instance, that Jews were also slave owners in the South," says Grubin. "And there were Jews who owned factories" who didn't factor in humanity when conjuring up working hours and conditions for their overburdened employees.
It is the good, the bad and the ugly — and the primping, too. After all, Jews factored into the cosmetic industry as well. And would Hollywood have made a move on movies if not for the emigre moguls whose greatest fictions may have been the surnames they came up with to replace the Jewish ones they were born with?
So much to tell, so little time in this star (of David) spangled banner? "Six hours is a lot of television," muses a man who has made much of it during a stellar career. "We actually began with four hours, then expanded it."
Expansive is what Jewish scholars can be when discussing issues. And why is it "Jewish Americans" and not "American Jews"?
Anyone up for an argument?
Which is why Grubin greatly avoided putting two scholars in the same room at the same time. Their onscreen face time is informative, not a face-off. "Jews love to talk," says Grubin, inarguably, of a point well-taken.
And in next week's Part II, we'll see why.

Ke$ha will release "Cannibal," an 8-track "companion" to her platinum debut, "Animal," on Nov. 22.
The set will be sold separately, as well as bundled with "Animal." The first single, "We R Who We R," goes to radio on Oct. 14.
Dr. Luke, the man who gave us "Tik Tok," and who has developed Ke$ha, executive produced "Cannibal." Other collaborators include Max Martin, best known for his work with Pink and Britney Spears, and Benny Bianco, who has worked with Katy Perry and 3Oh!3, among others.
In her typically classy fashion (although we admire the joke), Ke$ha said in a statement: "This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime. My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on 'Cannibal" were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don"t like it – bite me."
That sounds painful.

Editorial: The spectacle of the 2016 election just got more spectacular
Surely we have entered some parallel reality — like Bizarro World in the Superman comic books — where reason has been replaced by knee-jerk emotional reactions and sanity has been replaced by self-delusion.
We've been walking on the edge of falling into absurdity ever since Donald Trump announced he was running for president and with his poll numbers on the rise, the whole nation has been teetering on the brink. But after Tuesday, when the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, endorsed Trump, we wonder if we will ever climb our way out of this bottomless well of irrationality and buffoonery.
It's just so ... so ... ridiculous that we find ourselves turning to satirists for a gut check and a reassurance that surely we have not shaken off this mortal coil and entered into our American-specific hell.
"An endorsement from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is expected to widen Donald J. Trump's already impressive lead among so-called 'idiot voters,' an aide to the billionaire said on Tuesday," wrote the New Yorker's Andy Borowitz. "That's why Palin supporting Trump and not Cruz is such a win for us," the Trump aide said. "She's been out of politics for awhile, but she still has idiot cred."
Yes, this is the same Sarah Palin who John McCain selected as his vice presidential candidate in 2008 and who quit the office of Alaska's governor by saying, "We're not retreating; we are advancing in another direction." Palin attributed that quote to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, but it was actually said by Maj. Gen. Oliver Prince Smith.
"Are you ready for the leader to make America great again?" Palin said on Tuesday with Mr. Trump by her side at a rally at Iowa State University. "He's been going rogue left and right. That's why he's doing so well. He's been able to tear the veil off this idea of the system."
Now there are rumors that Trump might choose Palin as his running mate. That's not too surprising, notes Alan Rappeport and Maggie Haberman for the New York Times. "Mrs. Palin could amplify the news media-circus aspects of Mr. Trump's candidacy: She too is a reality television star accustomed to playing to the cameras and often accused of emphasizing flash over substance."
And as Ralph Reed, the chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, told the New York Times, "Palin's embrace of Trump may turn the fight over the evangelical vote into a war for the soul of the party."
That attack on the Republican mainstream was evident in Palin's endorsement speech, during which she said about the GOP, "They stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, 'Just chill, O.K., just relax.' Well, look, we are mad, and we've been had. They need to get used to it."
Among the other gems Palin dropped was, "He's got the guts to wear the issues that need to be spoken about and debate on his sleeve, where the rest of some of these establishment candidates, they just wanted to duck and hide. They didn't want to talk about these issues until he brought 'em up. In fact, they've been wearing a, this, political correctness kind of like a suicide vest."
Some pundits wondered if Palin might have had a drink or two before she took the stage to endorse Trump, but most of us know her incoherence comes naturally and is not abetted by any external substances.
As Wonkette's Kaili Joy Gray wrote, "We aren't surprised that Sarah Palin gobbled up all the glory of standing in the spotlight again, imagining she is still Moose Queen USA. That's our Sarah. But we are surprised that Donald Trump and his ego stood there silently for a full 20 minutes without rolling his eyes, telling her to shut her stupid 'persona,' or calling in his security to drag the screaming crazy lady away so she could sleep it off somewhere and give him back his mic and his spotlight. That, truly, was a sight to behold."
While this clown show is not good for American politics and for debating actual policy differences between the candidates, it surely is a good spectacle, the kind of which we are used to after years of celebrity sideshows, self-important airheads on reality shows and flash-in-pan stars aided by social media. Perhaps, though, a Trump/Palin ticket is what America deserves, a reward for our superficial understanding of global issues and our willingness to drop bombs on problems of our own creation.

Another day, another celeb haircut! Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell joined the ranks of stars who've been chopping off their long locks in favor of shorter styles this fall, but unlike Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Hudson, and Pamela Anderson before her, she declined to go for a full-on pixie.
Instead, the 26-year-old Canadian traded her mid-back-length brunette tresses for a chic shoulder-length style. She first debuted the look in a picture on Instagram -- while she was still in the salon chair!
"Chop chop!!!" she captioned the snapshot, which shows her jokingly wielding a pair of scissors while her stylist, Daven Mayeda, stands behind her with a curling iron. "Omg!!! Bye bye long hair!"
Later that night, she took her new 'do for a spin on the red carpet. Rocking a black tuxedo-inspired dress and smoky eyes, the ABC Family star showed off her cropped, curly hair at an event for Revolve clothing.
"Short hair don't care," she wrote alongside another photo, of her and a pal modeling their shoulder-length styles in a series of funny shots. "#justkiddingstillhavelonghair," she hashtagged the post on Instagram.
Tell Us: What do you think of Shay Mitchell's shorter hair?

This has nothing to do with television, but it's given me endless pleasure today, so I'm borrowing a page from FilmDrunk's Friday Free For All to give you the video below: TWO CORGIS ON A TREADMILL. The clip is only 18 seconds long, but I could easily watch it on loop for three hours. I'm particularly intrigued by the 13-second mark, when a THIRD Corgi enters the frame — but then the video ends before we see what happens with the third Corgi. It's the same feeling Bart and Lisa had when Itchy and Scratchy didn't go to the fireworks factory.
Of course, it was last Friday that I made the Rainbow Sunglasses Corgi Photoshop, so maybe I'm ushering in a new era: Corgi Fridays. What do you people think? Vote for or against Corgi Friday as a recurring feature after the video.

L.E.P. Bogus Boys - X's & O's
With Valentine's Day on the horizon, the L.E.P. Bogus Boys have X's & O's on the brain—but not the kind you might think. While everyone else is dreaming of kisses and hugs, Count and Moonie are poring over their playbook, planning how they're going to crush their competition. On this freshly-minted mixtape single, the group's first release since signing with Gee Roberson's newly-launched Blueprint imprint back in December, D. Rich's brassy trap boardwork gets trunks rattling as the Chi-town twosome offer rival rappers fair warning: "We run the field, now you n**gas in trouble." Dont Feed Da Killaz (Vol. 4) currently lacks a drop date, but DJBooth readers will be the first to know when that changes. In the meantime, keep your browsers locked for all the latest tunes.

Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, tomorrow morning, the Senate will begin consideration of the FSC/ETI JOBS conference report. We will be unable to reach a limited time for debate; therefore, cloture will be filed on the conference report. At approximately 9:15 a.m., the Senate will begin the first cloture vote on the pending substitute amendment to the intelligence resolution. It is my expectation that cloture will be invoked, and we should be able to adopt the substitute shortly thereafter and then proceed to the cloture vote on the underlying resolution.
I also encourage Senators who wish to offer the amendments that are listed on the amendment list approved earlier tonight to come forward and offer those amendments. We hope to dispose of those tomorrow. Following the disposition of the resolution, the Senate will resume consideration of the FSC/ETI JOBS conference report.
Again, we have been unable to lock in a time certain for a vote on the conference report, and it appears cloture will be necessary. We will continue to work with all Members to move forward on our remaining work. As I mentioned earlier, we will finish both the Senate intelligence reform resolution and the FSC conference report prior to adjourning, as well as the Homeland Security appropriations conference report and/or Defense conference report as they are available.
Mr. REID. Will the Senator yield to me for a brief minute?
Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to waive the live quorum vote prior to cloture.
Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I thank my friend from Nevada for his kind comments. I will have a good deal more to say about him tomorrow as well because this has been a challenging undertaking. I do think we have made substantial progress, if not having achieved everything we hoped, but I think we have come a long way in the right direction.

Ahmadinejad describes incentive offer as "step forward"
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed on Friday that Iran's nuclear case faces no deadlock, adding the Islamic Republic will continue its promising movement in the nuclear case through negotiations and prudence.
Making the remarks in a news conference in Shanghai before his departure to Tehran, Ahmadinejad said 5+1 Group proposals are a "step forward" for which Iran is currently scrutinizing its different aspects based on national interests. "Iran will support negotiations in equal and constructive conditions," he noted, according to IRNA.
Answering a question on Iran's concerns about an Israel's possible attack, President Ahmadinejad said "we are not worried about such an attack while we are able to defend ourselves."
Asked about Holocaust, he said it is not a problem of Jews but the problem of a political party dubbed "Zionist" which may hide itself behind the name of Jew.
Asked about a negotiated solution to Iran's nuclear case as already welcomed by Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, Ahmadinejad said, "We have been seeking negotiations since the beginning of this case. We believe negotiation is better than tension."
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad said Iran is not concerned over the pressures of the US and Europe. "We have had no concern at all and we think if those (the US and Europe) you are referring to rectify their behaviors a little a bit, all the problems will be solved," said Ahmadinejad when asked by a US correspondent on Iran's reaction to the US-Europe pressure over its nuclear case.

Gun Coating?
July 11, 2010, 12:14 AM
What is K-Coat gun coating and whats the best way to remove it from a Glock slide that has had K-Coat sprayed over the black oxide finish. Thanks for any tips. Happy Shootin.
July 11, 2010, 04:02 PM
I have not heard of it before. I checked it out online and found this mention of it.
"The k-coat is an electroless Nickel plate with PTFE (Teflon) distributed throughout the Ni matrix. A solution with PTFE is added to the agitated Ni bath and as the base material is plated PTFE molecules are trapped in the coating with some of them being exposed to the surface. As the coating wears more Teflon is constantly being exposed. The resulting surface is Extremely corrosive resistant, Extremely abrasive resistant, has a very low coefficient of friction, and one of the lowest surface energies available ( ie stuff has a Very hard time sticking to it )."

If it is nickel plating, www.caswllplating.com sells an inexpensive nickel stripping solution that works well.
July 11, 2010, 05:29 PM
OK, I found out its Duracoat. So, how do I remove it?
George R
July 11, 2010, 07:26 PM
Dura Coat is a Sherwin Williams paint called Polane. You might want to contact Sherwin Williams or Google it. The only way I get it off is by blasting with DuPont Starburst.
July 11, 2010, 08:37 PM
Who uses KG Gun-Kote? How is durability, prep & application? Do you have to use a separate oven or can you use the kitchen oven and give it a really good cleaning after. Could a small toaster oven be used? I am only coating a G22 slide.
July 13, 2010, 12:45 PM
We've been using Gunkote for the past 30+ years as the top two coats in our Tuff-Gun finish. The big secret in any finish or refinish work is the prep work. Abrasive blast the metal, clean it, clean it again, Parkerize it, clean it several more times, Gunkote it, bake it, clean it and reassemble it.
Curing should be done in a dedicated oven...meaning an oven that you do NOT use for food preparation. Our shop oven is the size of a fridge, is computer controlled for time/temp and has a blower inside to keep the air moving around. The moving air keeps dust and curing vapors from sttling on the curing parts. I have a smaller bench top oven that I use for small jobs. You can get one of those used from a lab supply place. I use a toaster oven for tiny jobs. Don't just "flame on". Bring the temp up in stages to the curing temp. The smaller the oven, the more critical this is because the heating elements are closer to the parts tray.
Yes, you can use a kitchen oven if you clean it very well afterwards. Curing vapors will settle on the inside of the oven and transfer to anything inside like the pizza the next time the oven gets used. My shop oven gets absolutely filthy with black dust and has to be vac'ed out. Granted, there are a LOT of firearms that get cured in that oven but any curing residue at all on my Grand Daughters pizza is to much. That stuff contains nasty things..like lead.
Chemical durabilty on Gunkote is excellent. It's non or very slow reactive to most chemicals including blood, sweat, salt water, chlorine, battery acid, acetone, etc. Anything that will "eat" the finish will probably kill you first! Physical durabilty is pretty good too. I've found it (Properly applied) to be as good or better in the physical durabilty department as any other finish that is spray applied.
Aside from it's chemical durabilty, it has one property that's better than any other spray on finish. It will burnish to a perfect fit. That's critical on internal close tolerance parts. It means that after you apply it, the part may fit tight but once it's used in place, it burnishes to a perfect fit. Yes, Gunkote can be applied to all of the external and internal parts of a firearm. I even use it on the insides of my RC boat engines. http://www.shootiniron.com/P9130008.jpg On the piston in the ring lands, etc.
Compared to a few other finishes, Gunkote is not user freindly. It has to be force cured, the finish has to sprayed on hot metal, the fumes will eat your lungs, etc. On the plus side, it's not a two part mix, so you just have to clean the sprayer if you leave it set overnite.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Twenty-two years after breaking up, The Replacements are reuniting for at least three shows.
The celebrated 1980s alt-rockers say they'll play at Riot Fest in Toronto, Chicago and Denver. Exact dates haven't been announced, but Riot Fest runs Aug. 24-25 in Toronto, Sept. 13-15 in Chicago and Sept. 21-22 in Denver.
The Replacements haven't played a show since July 4, 1991, in Chicago. Frontman Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson got together this year to record the EP "Songs for Slim" to benefit Replacements guitarist Slim Dunlap, who suffered a debilitating stroke last year.

People should just have sex in their houses. Everyone needs to just be normal, and nice, and not have sex on the train. Go to your house, lock the door, and stay there. Everyone needs to just stay in their house.

I like it, but few notes: • Section 3.4 should say that the "other instances" must send the message to its local occupants too and not again to other instances (to prevent looping). • Can a peerhost connect to other peerhost? • Who has the last word when the firsthost dyes? (That will be in 3.6, right?) • I did not notice a way to make my muc component connect to some other room. Will it be done by ad-hoc or there will be some special support for it? By the way, I would know about more usecases. First, MUC aliases (every big server could have the same jdev room and you could be sure if you join it anywhere, you are home). Second - maybe interconnection between some IRC transport and usual MUC? And third - large MUCs - every single service does less sending, so there is less stress on the line and so. Anyway, I really like this one. -- Work with computer has 2 phases. First, computer waits for the user to tell it what to do, then the user waits for the computer to do it.

Fall festivities are, officially, in full swing. The gradual changing of the leaves gives way to one of our most beloved holidays, Halloween. It is the one time of the year where little kids, and big kids too, can be who and what they want to be for a night. It is the night where fantasy comes to life. Elaborate costumes make this the most entertaining holiday of the year, but Halloween doesn't have to be a burden on your wallet. By simply utilizing items from home or by buying budget-friendly costumes from the biggest retailers, everyone has the opportunity to participate. Check out the incredible Halloween Deals page from Fatwallet and these Do-It-Yourself ideas to bring your imagination and creativity to life!
Every child grows up trying to be a superhero. The ability to save innocent people from the threat of danger is a characteristic that we all strive to embody. Here are a few simple ideas to create the perfect superhero costume without throwing money out the window.
- Superman– Buy a blue set of sweats, which can be used even after Halloween, and some iron on transfer paper. Print off the Superman logo from your printer and iron it on to the front of the sweatshirt. Take a red cloth of blanket to tie like a cape. Here's a video showing you how to make a superhero costume!
- Optimus Prime– There are some great deals on Optimus Prime costumes, but remember that you can always purchase the mask and create robotic body parts with cardboard boxes taped around the arms, legs and chest area. Available at BuyCostumes.com for $14.99. Check out BuyCostumes.com Coupons and Deals and shop with 6% Cash Back on FatWallet!
Just as we all grow up with the desire to be good, Halloween is the one night a year that we all are justified in wanting to be a little bad. Invoking fear and disgust, what would Halloween be without some villains roaming the neighborhood?
- Witch– Witch costumes rely mostly on the tall, pointed hat. Spend minimal money to purchase the hat. Add some green face paint and a black dress and voila! Halloween express has these beauties for $5.99. Here are more Halloween Express Coupons and Deals with 7.5% cash back!
- Vampire– Vampires come in all shapes and sizes, so it is an easy costume to create. You can purchase a set of fake, enlarged canines and some white face paint, or you can purchase the whole Dracula look with fake blood and a black cape. Only $12.99 on Halloween Express!
- Skeleton– Do-It-Yourself skeleton costumes are easy. Take a black t-shirt and cut out the patter of ribs on the front and back. Layer the shirt over a white shirt. Paint your face white and black out the eyes, under the cheek bones and the nose. Image Copyright: Coolest Homemade Costumes
Mythical Creatures
Some creatures only exist in our imaginations, yet we desire and hope that there is some kind of truth to their stories. Mythical creatures come to life as we recreate their existence through unique costume ideas.
- Unicorn– A unicorn horn or mask with horn is all you need to have a successful costume. Beyond that, an all white or pink unitard or matching set of sweats is all you need. You can get this crazy mask at Costume Kingdom for $27.95! There are more Costume Kingdom coupons and deals here with 6.5% Cash Back
- Fairy– Fairy costumes are easy and affordable options for Halloween costumes. Since all companies have them, it's easy to shop around for an affordable option with a nice set of wings and a little dress that can be re-worn for other costumes in the future. Tinkerbell's costume can be found at The Disney Store. Save with Disney Store coupons and deals at 3% Cash Back.
Television/Film Characters
We all want to be the characters that we know and love from literature, film and television. This Halloween we can embrace the looks and personalities of our favorite icons with some clever costume designing.
- Harry Potter/Hermione Granger– A Harry Potter costume involves putting a kid in an oversized pair of grey pants, white button up shirt, giving him a cape, chopstick wand and a fake set of glasses that can be purchased at your local drugstore. Photo credit: JengerBreadCreations.blogspot.com.
- SpongeBob– One easy way to create a SpongeBob costume is by take a paper grocery bag and painting it yellow. You can print off the facial features of SpongeBob and glue them to the bag. Cut holes in the bag for the arms and two small holes to see out of. Photo Credit: Curbly.com
Flora and Fauna
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be born into this world as another living organism? Stop imagining and try it out. You can be a ferocious lion, a delicate rose or even a shiny beetle.
- Bumble bee– Bumble bee costumes consist of black tights and a black leotard that are striped with yellow electrical tape. Glue some pipe cleaners to a headband for the antennae and buzzzzz from door to door. This is a great costume to recycle for dancers. You can find this at Spirit of Halloween for $12.99. Check out SpiritHalloween.com coupons and deals here on FatWallet with 6.5% cash back!
- Lamb– Create easy lamb or other animal costume for children, especially babies, by purchasing some fluffy fabric that can be cut and sewn into a sack shape, leaving holes for the neck, arms and legs to come out of. Add a hood to the sack with ears on top to identify your animal. I found this cute costume at Sears! Shop with 7% Cash Back (SALE! was 3%) and find more Sears coupons and deals here!
- Flower– Dye some tights and a onesie or leotard green. Take some fake silk flowers and sew them to a bonnet or beanie to be worn for the petals. You can even cut construction paper leaves to pin to the arms of the leotard. If you aren't craft enough to DIY this costume, you can get it at PoshLittleTutus for either $22 or $24 depending on the size. –They get the image credit too! 🙂
Whatever you wish to be, you better get started now on your costume. Before you know it, Halloween will be here. Trick or treat!

Colonoscopy Sedation
My neighbor had his procedure and suggested if I wanted to be aware of everything, to request fentanyl. My question is how much fentanyl is usually given and what is `in` to request to be pain-free? Thank you
All drugs given for anesthesia and sedation are best given in a "titrated" fashion. This means that a small amount is given, the response assessed, then additional amounts given until the desired effects is achieved. An average initial dose of fentanyl in an average adult is between 50 and 100 micrograms. If you don't want Versed (midazolam) tell your doctor. Alternative agents include propofol, which is sedative, and other drugs similar to fentanyl such as meperidine, alfentanil, sufentanil and remifentanil, which are pain-killers. These drugs have potential side-effects too - including nausea and suppression of breathing.
