It takes a keen eye to assess the extent of care people bestow upon themselves and here's mapping out the basics of a well-groomed man.
If you think grooming doesn't apply to men and/or isn't relevant enough, you're living in the dark ages, my friend. It's all about caring and paying heed to what those pores and dead cells are saying; no longer is your apparent nonchalance awarded and revered.
And, if you're learning or trying to learn, here's your one-stop guide to knowing what your end-goal is. Put on your grooming-lenses and be ready to put yourself under the scanner.
Step 1: Facial Scrubs For Your Skin
Let's start with peeling off the problem. The air can dampen your skin with all kinds of damaging elements, and it's important to give it room to breathe. Exfoliation works wonders to keep the freshness running through your face. Include facial masks and scrubs in your weekly skincare routine: they can dissolve away the dead cells for a fresher look.
Step 2: To Beard or Not To Beard
You can be fluid with your facial hair, and alternate between maintaining stubbles, beards, or clean-shaven looks. Shaving as a skill comes with practice and while it may leave bruised and cut in the first go, it's a lifesaver on most days. Smoothen your skin with shave oil or keep the blades in warm water to avoid irritation afterwards: these are tricks which might come in handy. Even if you resist any taming of your glorious beard, keep it in shape with trimming. Don't let the fuzzy hair populate your face with its wavering strands–it's one of the first things which comes to notice.
Step 3: Making Your Hairdresser Your Best Friend
Out of the many relationships you can indulge in, you can count on this one to trim out all the unwanted problems. If you've found the person of your hairstyle dreams, who understands you and gives you the shape you need, you must preserve it for life. Instead of making frantic last-day runs with a ruffled head of goose hair, book appointments. Trust the vision of your hairdresser to take your hair to its glamorous fruition, every time.
Step 4: Manscaping, Forfeit All Arguments
You could grow out your nether region in a miniature forest. But, should you? The natural habitat could adapt as well. No one's asking you to barren the main land, we're mooring the idea of a mere courtesy of keeping it neat and tidy. The market is sprawling with electric razors to effectively trim the outgrowth there; word of caution: keep them apart from facial razors.
Step 5: Trimmed Nails and Plucked Brows?
It's back to the basics. Closely trimmed nails? Basic hygiene. Growing them out isn't doing anyone a favour; so, don't let indolence rule your baser instincts. Moisturise the edges of your nails to soften the half-rising skin bits. Women notice a lot of things, and yes, eyes do strike out–so equally important is keeping your eyebrows tidy. You could take things in your hands and not let the hair meet in between (or below and above the brows) or seek professional care. Trust us, it's all for the best.
Step 6: Happy Feet
Scrub and moisturise: that's all your footcare regime asks of you. After being trapped in layers for the whole day, things are about to get smelly in there. Scrub out the dead skin and remove the dirt while taking a shower, and smooth things over with a moisturiser. Think of it as strengthening your best-foot forward game.
Step 7: Sniffing For The Right Fragrance
Commitment is important, and staying loyal to your one true scent should be your defining apparatus. Give it significant thought instead of picking the first bottle looming before your eyes–test and make it your signature fragrance. Aftershave should be the embedded part of your presence, no compromising or overdoing there. Also, an unrequited PSA: no fragrance is a fragrance (or smell), just saying.
Step 8: Wash. Moisturise. Screen. Repeat.
Doing a lazy rinse of the face isn't going to save your skin from all the damaging cells, it's essential that you cleanse and tone your skin at least twice a day. Also, moisturise. In abundance, especially in the monsoon. You're doing it wrong if you pop the sunscreen only on sunny days; it's an all year-round protection agent, which also does wonders for anti-aging needs. Don't let the drowsiness of the morning and the exhaustion of the night get in the way of healthy skin.
It's all about the routine you set in place, which saves you from your messier instincts. The secret doesn't lie in expensive bottles and haughty brands. It's all about figuring what works for you and making it a part of your life.

Lots to report, but first, thanks to all who post replies or comments. I appreciate your interest and input!
The church in Hartshill was a surprise. The interior was enormous, white, with a false ceiling, installed in the late 1930's. Very startling and different from the Victorian exterior. Very friendly and welcoming folk there.
A large storm of hurricane proportions was forecast for Sunday night, so we decided to find a well sheltered part of the canal for the evening. I knew of a well sheltered space that I have been to previously (and posted pictures- see Oct 19.), but we were just too far up the canal to get there, so found a place just outside Nuneaton. Storm didn't materialize until about midnight, then lots of rain and wind- we felt the rain, but only heard the wind- such was the protection offered by the trees and hedges along that part of the canal.
Off we went this morning, and the canal was bursting full of water (the automatic level control run-off places in full use). The weather was blustery and rainy, but our waterproofs worked, and we had no issues, making very good time. We arrived back in Braunston, just as the light from the sun faded into the cloudless sky. Moored up, and then prepared to go to the local pub for supper, in the now dark evening. Dad stepped out of the boat, saw the streetlight, and made for that. Unfortunately, the light was on the opposite side of the canal, and we have definite proof that he has not yet mastered the skill of walking on the waters yet. We fished him out, and the only casualty was his hat which floated away until he reminded me of that, and I saw it going down for the third time. Glad that was only his hat, though!
The Old Plow pub was a warm and welcome place to have our evening meal.
Tonight is a clear, starry sky night: that fall image that is so welcome after a storm. Reminds me of those nights, far from towns and lights, that are so special: crisp fall air, geese flying south (Canada geese- bet the Brits wish we had kept them at home!), and clear starry skies. A great end to a great day of fall canal travels.

An occupational hazard of a politician is your life both personal and public becomes the cannon fodder for newspapers and other assorted rascals who wish to create mischief.
You can protect your own privacy by refraining from volunteering personal information which is otherwise not of interest to the public if you do not wish that information to become the subject of public scrutiny and comment.
The principles having been established, what is the lesson to be learned from his claim of injury and victimhood in response to a fair comment made by me in answer to the question from a Guardian reporter on why the FNM's policy on Immigration is perceived the way it is.
My answer was based on information in the public domain volunteereed by the Minister: the circumstances of how he came to be Bahamian and the fact that he took the Prime Minister to a church to talk about immigration and acted as the translator for the Prime Minister.
I deduced from those public facts (and so did most other Bahamians ) that the FNM was perceived to be softer on Immigration and they went to spread that message to the immigrant community; that implicit in their personal outreach and his personal example was that the FNM would be soft on Immigration and people in that community would perceive him to be a liaison to the government on their behalf.
In law that is a fair comment and you are a public official and subject to fair comment.
The PLPs policies on Immigration were fair and strict and designed to protect the country. We stand by that.
Do not personalize your response to me but rather abstract this lesson from what I said ; one which all of your like minded hypersensitive young politicians in the FNM would do well to follow: if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.


text: I bought the Hero a few months ago and made a couple of posts. I then promptly moved to Costa Rica and have been stuck with the most ass-backwards old Nokia phone possible. I brought the Hero with me because I can still use WiFi, but I've officially had it with this garbage phone and I want to enjoy the gorgeous Hero. So, I investigate and find out that all I have to do is unlock the Hero and swap the SIM card. I found the way to unlock the phone; that's not the issue. However, where the hell is the SIM card? I Google it and all I find are the instructions on how to remove the SIM on Hero's with the chin ... I don't have that. I open up the phone and I see the micro SD slot, a larger slot underneath the volume buttons, and - to the right of the camera lens - a flap that I cannot seem to open. In short, where is the SIM card?! Thank you for your time and your patience with this potentially silly question.

The Well Frog
As we turned left onto the road that lead to our destination, I sensed something amiss. The two students sitting with me in the auto had fallen silent. They were vigorously turning their heads to assimilate everything that was there in front of their eyes. They were trying to grasp all the happenings around and understand its purpose and existence. They had never gone beyond a one kilometre radius of their house, ever!
After having decided that I needed the kids to witness the working of a "normal" world, I announced amidst all the excitement in class, "In a week, the first three students who show values through actions will get to go out." Everyone wanted to help their friends, go out of their way to accommodate someone etc. Although, this momentum did not sustain after a couple of days, I pushed through. At the end of it, I had two boys and a girl who had made it. The two boys were anxious and overjoyed. But the girl…
"I not come bhaiyya. I go to grandmother house." she said with a very disappointed face. At the outset, it seemed like she wanted to come but her parents had other plans. I asked her if I could talk to her parents and convince them to allow her. She did not respond. With a confused look, I asked her to go home and have her parents call me immediately so I can pick her up on the way. She acknowledged and bolted out. After an hour and a half, the two boys and I were waiting outside the school, but no call came. I sent the boys to bring her. They returned within a minute. "They say she go grandmother house bhaiyya. I think she is inside only." I realized this was an issue I had to personally address by talking to the parent.
Having spoken to her mother before at school, I knew for a fact that the mother was very invested and had high hopes for her daughter. Why then did she not allow her to go out and see the world? Her uncle picked up the call. I explained to him why I was taking the kids out and why it is important for this particular girl to come (she aspires to be the PM or at least an IPS Officer). The uncle said, "I understand but her father will not allow her to go outside so you please carry on with the other two kids." I felt angry, frustrated, annoyed, shocked and depressed, all at the same time. How could any parent deny their child an opportunity to see the world? Especially when they themselves had such high hopes for her. Why can't they see how imperative it is for a child to experience new things and aspire to get there? She had not been allowed to come on our trip to the law school either. I could see that I had failed. Failed in getting one of the most potential kids to achieve her true potential, or at least try. I had failed her! I could only manage to say, "Okay, thank you!" *Click*
Trying let the issue be for a while, I focussed on the two boys now. We got into an auto and started our journey to the nearest pizza place. They were overwhelmed by the journey itself. They asked me what a guy was doing with iron rods and sparks of fire, why a big pipe was being lowered into the drain etc. They wanted to know everything. I then showed them the flyover that led to the airport. Their joy knew no bounds. "I only read and hear about airport bhaiyya. I never see. This road go there? How to go up on flyover? Come down, how?" They had never seen a flyover. You live in a city god-dammit! There are flyovers every two kilometres. "What do you do on holidays?" I asked, trying to understand how and why they hadn't ventured this "far". "Play, eat, that's all", they both said at the same time.
"What do your fathers do?", I asked again.
"I don't know".
"Haven't you asked him?"
"Why not?"
"I ask, he beat!"
"Whaaaaaaaaattt? Why would he do that?"
Before they could answer, the auto stopped and we had to get out. I saw a supermarket and decided to take them inside as a quick continuation for the food distribution process I had explained to them earlier. Yet again, they were spellbound. So many items laid out in neat rows. So many computers to give bill, so many refrigerators, so many people to help! I walked them to the nearest refrigerator and picked few juice boxes and a chocolate. "Huh! You take like that only? No ask shopkeeper?" "No. In supermarket you take everything and then at the end you go to billing counter." They walked through the supermarket admiring the different kinds of pickles, noodles and soaps. When they arrived at the billing counter, there was another shock waiting for them. We got the bill without the guy checking the price of each item. They were just waved in front of a red light. "That's bar-code reader. It gives all the information needed to the computer", I said before they could ask. I was already too annoyed. How could you have never ever seen a supermarket or a flyover? You've wasted nine years of your life, abusing and hitting each other?
We moved to the pizza place. "It is so cold bhaiyya. Fan not there no, then how?" "It's called AC. See there." I pointed at what looked like a macro-sized tube-light to them. After another fifteen minutes of assimilation of surroundings, we ordered. The lady at the counter asked for my phone number and then said, "Hi, Nikhil. How may I help you?"
"Wait. One spicy triple tango, diet coke and a mousse cake please! Yes, tell me now."
"How she know your name? She your friend?"
"So, every time I buy something at one of their stores, they record it so that next time they don't have to ask for it again.", I replied knowing full well that I wasn't even remotely close to the complete answer.
As we chatted and ate, one of the kids fell silent. I questioned him. He refused to tell me the reason. He was clearly upset about the experience. I could not stand it any more. This is absolute nonsense. I cannot do this to them. Their worlds are being shattered right in front of their eyes. Their version of the truth, is being stepped upon and crushed by the stark differences. Everybody is well dressed, polite, organized and most of all, it's peaceful, unlike the community they live in. Some of the kids may not even comprehend all of this. Enough. It's time to go back. Go back to your little bubble and feel the comfort of your known ecosystem. For today, it's enough exposure for you.
As I returned home, I could not help but judge the people living there. They talk about wanting to educate their children, they want their students to talk in English and aspire to become something bigger. But when it comes to following up on them, they find excuses ranging from money to society to culture to even "going to grand mother house." What is with this apathy? I have to end it. I can't watch them waste their lives away like this. These are my kids and they will make something out of themselves. To this effect, I have asked the girl's mother to come and meet me in school very soon. I need to get her on board, I need to get everyone on board and as soon as possible.
That girl can rule the world. She is capable! (Not at all exaggerating) She and so many others aren't able to grow only because they don't see their learnings being put to use in the world outside, their little world. They're all well frogs that don't even know there is so much more outside. But was I not one too? For having believed that everyone gets to see a flyover, at least in a city? Aren't we all well frogs? The difference is that some of us get to live in bigger wells!

Sexist ads from the 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s
Ah, the good ol' days of chauvinistic sexism. A time when a good woman knew her place – in the kitchen at the foot of her man. And whenthese housewives weren't dreaming of getting appliances for Christmas or writhing in fear of losing her husband over improper feminine hygiene, she was flashing the power of her assets from a slinky evening dress.
I'd like to think we've grown since the dogmatic days of Madison Avenue's portrayal of women and wives and their love for pleasing their hubby's through domesticated tasks. At least we seem to laugh at such stereotypes we see on AMC's Mad Men.
But even as sexist as Don Draper is, nothing in his television world compares to these crazy sexist print advertisements from the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. In fact, I think Don and his ad men boy's club of could only dream of creating sexist ads as ludicrous as these. Reach higher, Don… Reach higher.
Shake your head and enjoy!
Yes. Yes, it is. And I can't tell you how many times I've looked at this ad. It's not only offensive but what the hell does it have to do with postage meters? Is it always illegal to kill a copywriter?
WoW! First a man on the moon… and now a ketchup bottle a woman can open??? AMAZING!
I bet there were a few women who wished there was a gun on there to circle.
I think her trim is showing…
In other words: Take a damn bath, bitch!
…Show him the divorce papers.
Mornidine (brand of Pipamazine) was introduced in 1959 as a morning sickness drug. It was ultimately withdrawn from the market for causing hepatic lesions in patients. But heck… as long as it gets her back in the kitchen!
Love's Baby Soft? I think this print ad would better for Thailand Tourism! CREEPY!
There's a man-size feeling of power in smoking a cigar… It's called overcompensation.
Yes, a big pair of hooters should always be at a man's convenience. But that surely can't be HIS wife.
"Honey, I don't need to eat. I'll just get hammered and tell you how worthless you are!"
Talk about your projections equipment. In the late 50's – early 60's, Sabrina was the U.K.'s answer to Jayne Mansfield. Sabrina was best known for her gigantic headlights, 17-inch waist, and 36-inch hips. She was also known for her bad acting in movies and commercials.
Golly, if only more women thrived on cooking, cleaning, and dusting, there'd be no divorces.
You have to love the copy: "Though she was a Tiger lady, our hero didn't have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her… If you'd like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of he-man Mr. Leggs slacks."
That just might go down on, oops, down as one of the most phallic ads of all time
Lysol for feminine hygiene? What a great time-saving idea! Disinfect the counters, the litter box and yourself all at the same time!
Just wait until he finds out what you're NOT using the Lysol for!
Ya gotta love her husband's face! That damn run in her stocking is just ruining his evening!
Kind of an Ed Gein thing going on here.
Is that what you call it?
The Chef does everything but poison your husband…
I think she belongs in a loony ward. She's naked, lying on the floor… staring at a shoe.
Gee… and I only got my wife a new ironing board pad. I shoulda went with the Hoover.
So that's how you seduce a real woman? Better make a note of that.
Squint if you have to, but read the copy!
Greatest comeback ever.
Heck, I don't see a whole lot of Sticks in those polyesters.
Your mother didn't tell you that's how you please a man on your wedding night?
You mean she'll nag me for not calling more and tell me to get a haircut?
C'mon, hubbies! Save your wives!
Indoors, women a useful – even pleasant.
Gosh, why do young wives have to so sensitive and… stinky? I thought women were pleasant– at least indoors.

Sicilian Soup
Blame it on the winter cold, sniffles and flu, or maybe it's the economy, but all we seem to want to eat lately is soup. Last night I made chicken soup with escarole, today it will be Regaleali Wheat Berry Soup, a recipe from my friend Anna Tasca Lanza. The recipe first appeared in my cookbook, A Fresh Taste of Italy.
Together with her daughter Fabrizia, Anna operates the Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School on her family's winery and farm in Vallelunga in central Sicily. Anna makes the soup with grains of the hard durum wheat for which Sicily has long been famous. Anna served us this soup the first time we visited the farm a number of years ago. I use wheat berries or farro, whatever I happen to have on hand, plus cannellini beans, canned Italian peeled tomatoes, some white wine and a few staples like onions, garlic and celery. I particularly like the battuto, as Anna called it, a finely chopped blend of herbs, garlic and pecorino that finishes the soup and really lifts the flavor.
Here is the recipe:
Serves 6
1 pound (about 2 cups) durum wheat berries or farro
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1-1/2 cups canned Italian peeled tomatoes with their juice
6 cups beef broth, preferably homemade
1 cup dry white wine
Salt to taste
Pinch of crushed red pepper
4 cups cooked cannellini, or 2 cans (16 ounces each) drained and rinsed
1/4 cups chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 or 2 garlic cloves, minces
1/3 cup freshly grated pecorino romano
In a large pot combine the wheat, vegetables, broth, winne, salt and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Add the beans and cook ofr 30 minutes more or until the wheat is tender.
Combine the ingredients for the battuto. Spoon the soup into serving bowls. Drizzle each portion with a little oil. Sprinkle the battuto over the hot soup just before serving or pass it at the table. Serve hot or at room temperature.
I had an opportunity to visit Anna and Franca at Regaleali again with a small group on one of the culinary tours Charles and I lead for Tour de Forks. Here is a picture of Anna, Franca and I showing the group how to make panelle, Sicilian chick pea fritters. Anna's method is to spread the chick pea batter on dinner plates to set up. Then she peels it off the plates, cuts it into wedges and fries them til crisp. They were sensational. Perhaps I will make some tonight, as a starter before the soup. That should have us dreaming of Sicily!

Today's scented candle recommendation: Trapp Candles' Burmese Wood.
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Last night I learned news that I have been waiting 48 years to hear.
Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it.
I'm tempted to make some sweeping statement like "a mother because she must be, a father because he chooses to be" ... but I know there are no universal truths, no matter how much we wish for them.
I admire the "eat local" movement, those who would buy only what they absolutely must to survive, and individuals who are disciplined enough to swim strongly against the supersized American consumerist current.

The extra room that was appended to Frankies 17 in recent months (referred to as the north side by owners Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli) has been a boon for large groups and private parties who can't squeeze in next door. But soon, it will serve an even greater purpose during daytime hours, as the Manhattan counterpart to Cobble Hill's Cafe Pedlar. This makes all kinds of sense: Frankies has long served great coffee made from Stumptown beans, but lacked the space and atmosphere to linger over it coffee-shopstyle. So the partners have moved the resident La Marzocco espresso machine into the expansion, and as soon as the finishing decorative touches have been applied, they'll unveil Cafe Pedlar at Frankies 17, a space devoted to serious java and Frankies food, including Prime Meats pretzels, various baked goods, and Spuntino sandwiches from next door. Hours of operation will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., when Frankies dinner service kicks in. And early risers, take note: There is talk of hot breakfast, too or as Falcinelli cryptically refers to it, the Lancaster County egg program.

More Japan Photos
Some more photos from the trip. I tried to refrain from too much overlap between the digi shots and the SLR. ^_^ Enjoy!
Shrine in Niigata. (Sorry don't remember the name; I seem to have that problem a lot). :P ^^;;
Mode of transport About the only photo I shot inside Okayama Castle. :P
Izumo Taisha The old part of the shrine where you can only try to see but can't enter.
Izumo Taisha Apparently if you pay for certain services, then you can enter this area (or certain tour groups as well from what I saw). There are some interesting little tidbits about Izumo Taisha like how when one prays at a shrine etc., one prays directly to the kami inside but in one of the shrines they face a different direction from the actual front of the shrine so some people pray to the side of one shrine. ^^; Otherwise, Izumo Taisha is considered the second most important shrine in Japan after Ise Jingu. I'm not sure who is allowed into Ise shrine itself (everything was gated off), but traditionally it's supposed to be built every X number of years (can't remember the number 25? 40? something else??) so even though the buildings themselves aren't so old, the style of construction is.
Inside the tumuli This is a shot inside the tumulus from the gate. It was completely dark inside so it was a "blind shot". :P
Fountain to purify oneself before entering Kamosu shrine
Top of the castle at Matsue-jo. I like looking up into the rafters in castles as often there's a fuda or a shrine or something for protection.
Castle interior photo. Not a great shot, but you can see where they either drop things or shoot arrows from and the wooden beams and construction itself. Most original castles I've been in are much the same, very open but low structures with massive beams. (I want to go to Europe and see some European castles...) *_*
Tanuki! ^___^
Tanuki at the station What was this village called?!? >_<;;
Moss at one temple's garden in Arashiyama
Uji River Shot from the bridge. ^^;
Sumiyoshi Taisha Bridge shot. There's another stone bridge that is also a half circle in shape that you can walk over to the actual shrine. Good thing they have planks down otherwise, it'd be hard to walk across. >_<
Wedding The wedding I mentioned running across. Not too many have the groom in traditional wear anymore. ^___^
The two miko(?) from the wedding. :P
Sumiyoshi Taisha Another shrine building...
Shrine interior Lots of places don't allow photos of the inside of shrines and temples but there was nothing written in this one. ^^;;
Now back to Ch 118 again. :P

Julian Merrow-Smith
There is an article in today's Guardian about one of my favourite daily painters.
<<In 1997, Julian Merrow-Smith lost his job at London's Lumière cinema. An art-school graduate, he bought a ticket to the south of France and began painting for a living. By 2004, he was making "about enough to survive on". Then he came across a US artist, Duane Keiser, who was doing a painting a day: small oils, mainly still lifes, posted and sold on the internet.
"I thought: hmm, there's a living to be made here," says Merrow-Smith, a chirpy voice on the line from his studio near the village of Bédoin in Provence. So he set up a website and began painting postcards: perfect little 4in x 6in oil-on-gesso pictures of, say, vegetables from his garden or fruit from the market, and luminous, ever-changing Provençal landscapes. "What was important, at bottom, was that they reflect this place," he says.
The first two sold instantly, for his fixed price of $100. Within a few months he was selling most days. Then in 2006 the New York Times found him. "That night I sold everything I'd ever painted, most of it more than once," he says. "It was crazy. For weeks I had 500 people wanting to buy every postcard. I spent my days organising credit-card refunds."
So now his site, shiftinglight.com, hosts an auction, each work selling to the highest bidder at 10pm each night, generally for between $150 and $650. "I have 3,000 subscribers to my mailing list, and a few real collectors," Merrow-Smith says. "There are people with 25 or 30 of my works, and people who buy one a year."
On Friday, he will paint his 1,000th Postcard from Provence. Each takes up to three hours, "depending on how much wine I've drunk the night before". Some weeks, he concedes, "I'm throwing things at the wall in frustration. But then people tell me it's the only email they actually look forward to getting. I'm making a living, but I'm also spreading a little joy. It is satisfying." >>
The Red Rose Girls
I recently read The Red Rose Girls: An Uncommon Story of Art and Love a biography of three women, who styled themselves after a picturesque inn where they lived and worked together. They were extraordinarily successful during what has been termed the "golden age of illustration in America."
Primarily remembered for their representations of children and domestic life, illustrators Jesse Willcox Smith (1863-1935), Elizabeth Shippen Green (1871-1954), and Violet Oakley (1874-1961) captivated early-twentieth-century society with their brilliant careers .
Smith, Green, and Oakley were professional artists at a time when it was more common for women to take art classes as a symbol of social accomplishment rather than as a serious endeavor. They studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and met as students in illustrator Howard Pyle's illustration class at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia. Pyle provided specialized training in the practical and aesthetic aspects of illustration, encouraging his female students to take their careers seriously. This was unusual for the time, as female students were prohibited from studying life drawing in most art schools and typically studied art in segregated classes. Only those who were extremely determined made their way in the male-dominated art world. Illustration, however, was considered an acceptable career for women because the creation of images for childrens books and the newly burgeoning field of magazines were deemed an extension of womens "natural" talents for decorating and child rearing.
Their notable achievements include Elizabeth Shippen Green's exclusive contract with Harper's Magazine, for which she designed hundreds of covers and interiors over a twenty-three year period. Violet Oakley's was commissioned in 1902 to paint eighteen murals in the new Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg, the first time an American woman artist had been given such a prestigious public commission. Jesse Willcox Smith became famous for her idealized pictures of children and domestic life in Collier's, Harper's, Ladies Home Journal, and Scribner's magazines, among many others. In addition she illustrated more than forty popular books.
Ironically, in order to be viewed as serious professional artists, these women chose to forgo the very domestic life they so romantically portrayed. Committed to remain single and childless, they made a home together and relied on the support and domestic work of their housekeeper and friend, Henrietta Cozens, to sustain their prolific careers. Cozens was not an artist, but gardened, cooked, and managed the household for the other three. Living together in their extended and unconventional family liberated these women to some extent from domestic distractions, while the supportive environment they allowed each other encouraged and sustained them in creating a world where art and life were inseparable.
In their genteel way these women were rebels, and yet their story, and their stylized illustrations were the epitome of respectability.

Tony Caruso
Born in 1919, Antonio Caruso, a forthright, wise, and humorous man, was only ten years old while living in Newton Massachusetts when the Great Depression began. Out of the many struggling families that lived around Newton, Mr. Caruso's family was considered to be extremely fortunate due to the weekly income that his father made from keeping his job throughout the depression. Mr. Caruso provides a different perspective of the Depression through the eyes of a fortunate child surrounded by people losing their jobs and houses. He explains an ordinary day, where he would eat cake and play games with his friends, while passing by Hoovervilles of homeless people who had no money at all; experiencing two entirely different ways of life during the Depression years,
This is Kristin Hehir and Brendan Place, and we are interviewing Mr. Antonio Caruso on May 18, 2008 for the Wayland High School History Project.
Q: Please state your name.
Mr. Caruso: Ok, as I said my name is Antonio Caruso.
Q: How old were you in 1929?
Mr. Caruso: I'm eighty-nine years old now and I was born in 1919, so I was 10 years old in 1929. That was a long time ago.
Q: Where did you live during the Depression years?
Mr. Caruso: I lived in Newton Center, Mass.
Q: What were your parents' names and what did they do for work when you were small?
Mr. Caruso: My parent's names were Antonio and Onarina Caruso, and my father was a caretaker for an estate. He worked for many years at this one estate. He worked there during the Depression, all during the Depression.
Q: How many brothers and sisters did you have?
Mr. Caruso: I had one brother, no sisters, and my brother was six years older then I was.
Q: How was your mother's role as homemaker impacted by the Depression, if at all?
Mr. Caruso: My mother was a homemaker, she never worked. She was a stay at home Mom, and of course she was always home and did all the cooking and washing and in those days you didn't have washing machines. You didn't have like electric stoves, or gas stoves. You used to have a wood stove. You used to cook everything but wood. All the meals were always made at home. I mean it was very, there wasn't the kind of food that we have now. You can go to the store and there's prepared foods. Everything had to be prepared, right from scratch. She made cakes and pies all by hand. It's funny that she'd make a cake and there would just be four of us, my father, my mother and whenever we had a dessert it was cut in four pieces. It was just that. There was dessert every night. Always like I said a good home cooked meal.
Q: During the Depression do you think your life had changed or do you think it was the same as it always has been?
Mr. Caruso: Like I said we were fortunate. My father had a job and he worked every day all the time so that we were not as bad off as some of the other people in the neighborhood. A lot of other people lost their jobs, and they were very poor. A lot of them were immigrants who had just come over from Europe, and of course it was hard for them. They would have to go to the town center and they would get food stamps and they would go down, I don't know how much they'd go down. But they would come back with a couple bags of food, and a lot of times they did not like the food, so you could see them trading it with people, so that they could get what they want.
Q: What did you eat as a child? Did you eat any pre-made foods or was it all home made? (Spam, breakfast cereals ex's) Did you grow and can goods back then?
Mr. Caruso: Yeah I didn't eat the spam until I was in the Army. That's when I had spam. Like I was saying a lot of the food was from our garden. My father had a huge garden and one side of the garden was all potatoes, mostly all potatoes. He had enough potatoes so that he had built under the house what they call a cold cellar, where you would store the potatoes, and the cabbage, and the celery, so that you could eat them all the way through the wintertime. But he used to grow all his tomatoes and my mother used to can a lot. She used to can tomatoes and of course Italians like sauce so she'd can maybe 100 or more jars of tomatoes and pickled beats and a lot of things, a lot of the fruit. We could eat almost all winter long. It was all home grown food. Then we had chickens, rabbits, and of course I had my pets like guinea pigs, pigeons, I used to like pigeons, and my job was to keep them fed and cleaned. I used to have chores to do this was the same as in the wintertime. The stove we had was not like the stoves we have now; we used to have a coal furnace. I used to get the coal from the coal bin and bring it next to the furnace to make sure it was stocked up.
Q: When you went down to the store, what kinds of things did you want to buy and how much did it cost?
Mr. Caruso: You asked when we were sent down to the store. Like for breakfast, the cereal that was very popular in those days was corn flakes, rice crispy's, and of course Wheaties; the breakfast of champions and oatmeal, and the oatmeal wasn't like the instant oatmeal you have now you would have to cook it in a pan in a pot and of course then you ate a lot of eggs in those days. And of course we had chickens so there were plenty of eggs. When you go to the store to buy a load of bread it was 11 or 12 cents for a loaf of bread and now it costs $4.00 a loaf of bread right now you can see the difference. Like you would buy a pound of Hamburg for .39 cents. Butter was like 39 cents. Now we had Oleo and of course in those days when you had to make the Oleo you had to mix it with some kind of pill they put in there. It wasn't the Oleo you have now, that came later on.
Q: What is Oleo?
Mr. Caruso: Margarine. Oh I am sorry we always called it Oleo. Margarine, Margarine. Don't forget I am getting old and so. But now you go to the store you buy things and it's all by the pound. In those days it used to be so many Oranges for so much you know, and now everything is by the pound. I worked in a store, it wasn't my first job. But the other thing I used to like was going down to the store. My mother used to send me to the store to the corner and it used to be a store in the community. There were First Nationals and what they used to call First National stores and A & P's. But where we lived the closest store was the corner store and you would go down there and you would have a tab, a running tab. My mother would send me down to get something at the store and she said you can get something. I always liked to get Whoopee Pies and the Whoopee Pies they had then they were really big and they were only a nickel. So you would go down there and run down there and we would go down and get it. Then there the end my mother would go down like on a Saturday and go shopping and I would get my thing. And the other thing I don't know if you had ever been told, but in those days they did not have these calculators, and cash registers. Everything you used to do, like I said after I started to work a little and you used to go to buy stuff and you used to have these paper bags like you have now, and as you go down you write down like 1.17, 2.00, or 39 cents, and then you just make a line through it and add it together. See now of course you got calculators and cash registers and things like that.
Q: Where did you grow up?
Mr. Caruso: Newton Center, which is near Chestnut hill. I lived right near Chestnut Hill, which is, I don't know if you know where it is; it's down towards Brookline.
Q: Did your family own a car?
Mr. Caruso: My father bought my brother a car in 1935. A 1935 Ford, and after my brother got married he gave me the car and he got another car. I had that until 1940. I bought a car and I paid 675 dollars for a brand new car with radio, in those days you used to have colors and seat covers and what do you call it, a fan for the windshield because you did not have the defrosters. It really was 675 for the car, and I kept that till I came back from the service. But we had the car, a 1935 car.
Q: How would you compare the typical clothing then to today?
Mr. Caruso: The clothing of course. Nowadays there is a great difference in the clothing. You never went to school with dungarees; well we used to call them overalls. We went with a shirt that was always pressed and ironed and your clothes were neat. And the teachers used to get after you if they weren't clean. They were particular on how you were dressed, and how you cleaned yourself. We used to have when I was going to elementary school, every May first, they used to have a May Day and it was a health day and you would get badges for being this and that. It was a lot different. The clothing was different, the material was a lot, it was a lot different then the clothing we have now. Now you just put it on and it looks wrinkled and you wouldn't have to iron it. So I mean you had to go to school as if, and especially when you would go to church you were very well dressed too. The material, the cloth was different.
Q: Was it like Wool or just cotton?
Mr. Caruso: It was mostly cotton, and wool. During the Depression it was pretty difficult at times. A lot of people had a hard time with having nice clean clothes and things like that. But I came from a neighborhood that was a bunch of immigrants that were mostly Irish, Italian, and German. It was very close-knit. If I did something wrong my neighbor or whoever it was would tell my mother and father. And the other things is, I'm not saying that all of the children now is they are not as respectful, especially the older people. They don't, you know we were able to talk to the older people like you talk with people. Nowadays you say "hi" to somebody and they won't even answer you. When I was growing up a lot of the people we had around I used to have to call uncle or aunt because that's the way we're growing up. Nowadays the children don't respect the elderly as much as they should. Like I say it was very close, very close, so close that we at times when you would go out, you could come and your neighbor next door their door was always open, and there would be a dish, and food on the table they would just leave it there, and everybody new each other.
Q: Like a big Family?
Mr. Caruso: There were a lot of big families. Like five and six people
Q: What are your earliest memories of the hard times of the 1930's?
Mr. Caruso: The earliest I can remember of hard times like I said was when we would see a lot people out of work. You would see a lot of homeless people and they weren't like the homeless people are now. The homeless people were just homeless. Nowadays you have homeless people that should be in some sort of a home where they could be taken care of because they do not know how to take care of themselves. When I was growing up they had a place up in Westborough, where they had a lot of people that were a little mental, where they were kept off the street because they didn't now how to handle or take care of themselves. You used to see a lot of hobos along the railroad tracks. They used to travel a lot and they were good people they were just homeless and they didn't have any work so they would just ride the rails. I had one of my relatives that rode the rails all over the country. He came back home and got a job and went to work. It's a shame that a lot of the children now are not very respectful. We couldn't get into any trouble. Like I say if we try to get into trouble. I skipped school one day and went to the movies in town by the time I got home some one had seen me and reported it to my mother. But I mean that's the way it was. They keep an eye on you.
Q: How did you spend most of your time as a kid in this era? What did you do for fun? What games did you play?
Mr. Caruso: For fun, that's another thing, you see we did not have television; we didn't have computers at that time. It was just in its infancy; the television had just come out. I didn't have a television until I think I came home from the service. But we used to listen to the radio. You sit in a room and just sit there and listen. I used to listen to Jack Armstrong the all American boy, and Buck Rodgers and the twentieth century, Skippy. Then when they started the televisions, it was Captain Bob. But we used to make our own [fun]. Now we lived in those days; there was woods all around us. The other thing I didn't say was when we were growing up my mother she had to cook with wood. We would be in the woods a lot of times, and whenever you would come home you would always take home a couple of branches. Then we would cut them up and chop them and get them ready for your mother to use for cooking. But we used to have places in the woods there, we called it Cat's Pond, Death Pond, and we used to go there and play with a raft, or just hike around it and play. All the communities around in those days had a play ground, and when you would get out of school you would go down to the playground, and you would play at the playground. In the summer time they would have programs, where they would have a couple of counselors, but all the kids were there they had arts and crafts; you would have all kinds of games. A lot of times we would amuse ourselves amongst ourselves we would go from one house to another, and we would go and play like monopoly and other games like that and the mothers would always have cupcakes or cookies or something you know. But we would go from one house to another house. It was all around. We were always occupied that way. See nowadays children don't stay out. They get in on the computers, and work on the computers, see it was different we used to have to make our own fun. We used to play Tarzan and things like that swinging through the trees. You know you had to manufacture it. When I say kicking the can, I don't know if you've ever heard of that. Ducking the rock, Buck Buck, how many fingers you got up, Runchie Prun, Relievo. We used to play those and sometimes it would go on all night. We had to make our own fun. My first job, I used to work for the baker. In those days they used to deliver bread to homes. I'd work and I'd probably get about 50 cents a week or something like that.
Q: What were the movies like? Radio shows?
Mr. Caruso: You could go to the movies for ten cents if you went early. You used to see first, they used to have the news, the real news. Then they would have a cartoon. Then you would have an A movie, or what you would call an A movie. Then you would have a B movie, which mostly were a western, and most were western stories, and of course they weren't like the type of movies you would have now, they were very clean movies. You never saw a woman in the bed with a man; there would be the twin bed or something like that. They you would walk to the movies so that you could save that nickel or something that you would use for the bus because the busses used to be only a nickel in those days, so you could get an ice cream. The same way you would go to school, I'd walk for miles. I'd take the bus in the morning but in the afternoon, I would save that one ticket, and I'd sell that ticket to somebody else so that I could get an ice cream on the way coming home. But you would walk ya know. We used to have a lot of fun, like during the summer time, once a year they would take you down to either revere for the day, or Nantasket. The grocer down there would have a truck, and he would pile a bunch of kids into the truck and drive us to the beach.
Q: Did you ever go to the circus or to carnivals?
Mr. Caruso: They used to have carnivals once in a while. About once a year there would be carnivals that would come around to the different areas of the town, and you would go there, and just see it.
Q: What kind of music did you enjoy?
Mr. Caruso: I liked the big band music. The big bands of the area that were there like Arty Shore, and Benny Goodman, I don't know if you have ever heard of them, and Woody Herman, and Van Monroe. He used to live right here, as a matter of fact he used to play; you know where the synagogue is in Wayland, on route 20. Von Monroe that used to be the Meadows, not the Meadows, the Meadows was in, that's where Von Monroe played too, it was in Framingham where Bennigans is now. But that was Syler's Ten Acres, and he played there. As a matter of fact, I had a friend of mine, this was in the mid 30's he had a band, a fourteen piece band, Larry Cooper and His Men of Rhythm something like that. You know where Lavin's is now, that used to be Dora's Havana Inn. They used to play there too. It was a nightclub and it used to be a nickel. There used to be a Mansion Inn over here on the corner of West Plain, and Rt. 126. That's the type of music I liked and when I had my car I used to sit out there and listen to all the big bands from all over. But there was a lot of different music, and we used to go to the movies. Like I say if you went early, like on a Sunday and it would cost you like 25 cents or something like that. Like I say you would always get two movies, and other things.
Q: What were your favorite sports? Do you remember the sports that you liked?
Mr. Caruso: Oh yes, the Red Sox. I liked the Red Sox but I used to follow the Braves. They were here at that time. One of my baseball heroes was Babe Ruth. I happen to go to a couple of times and I got see him. Every time he used to play there were so many people that they used to line the outfield so they could put more people in. So you could be really in close and see Babe Ruth and of course Joe De Maggio and all of those people like that. But that's going back a long ways. The Braves had what they called a Knot Hole Gang and you used to go to the bleachers and pay $0.20 for the game and what was nice in those days was that you could go right down to the lockers and sit or stand outside of the lockers and the players would come out and you could get their autographs. And my other sports that I liked was hockey. At that time basketball wasn't as popular and of course soccer, well we used to play that in school and it was just like now. It's a sport that's not as popular. But all around the world because I was in the Army and I used to go to some of those games, especially in Italy and they'd play but then there used to be a lot of fighting after the games because different towns would be getting together. It was very, very popular. That's what they called football. Those were the 2 sports that I liked. I used to like hockey, I really did. It was one of my favorite sports but then hockey has changed a lot. Like now it is a lot different than it used to be. In the old days it used to be more precise playing, more passing, not fighting.
Q: Did you have any heroes?
Mr. Caruso: Well I think that when I was growing up, Lindbergh did something that no one else ever did. He was the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean. That's another thing. When we were growing up in that era, airplanes were not like they are now, a dime a dozen. I mean when a plane used to go out, you'd go running out to see. In fact when I was going to high school, they let us out to see the Hindenburg, the airship. They let us out just to see it as it was going by. Now, you people take that for granted. You take the radio for granted, I mean the television. We didn't have that so that is why it was so different. You had to do so many different things to enjoy yourself. And people in those days used to get together more often. So like on a Sunday, you'd have your family get together. I know that your family is like that. They get together a lot. And children used to live at home even though they were older. Nowadays, around 19 or 20 years old they go out on their own. Well there was Bird, who discovered the South Pole. Do you know about that? He was a hero, as a matter of fact when he went to one of those, when they came up Rt. 9 with a big, big graters with the big wheels, well they were going to use that to travel on the ice. And it came up to Framingham where the police station is now. There used to be an airport there, a little airport and they brought it there. And I remember coming up on Sunday to see it.
Q: On an average day, what did you do?
Mr. Caruso: Well I had chores to do. I used to have to help my mother. And we used to be out most of the time playing. You used to get up and go to school, and you walked to school when I was in elementary and junior high. You'd then walk home and do your homework and then you'd go out and everyone would be waiting and they'd have their gloves on. We were always occupied. In those days the parents never had to worry about us. We could be gone all day and they wouldn't be worried about us because there were no problems. Like what we used to do, when I was telling you about going to the store and getting things. Well a lot of times, I'd go down and they knew I would get cookies or bananas or things like that and then my cousins would go down and buy something and then we'd all go out in the woods and we'd have a feast. But our parents knew that we would do that. But we were always occupied. Like I was saying about community life, everyone knew everybody, and everybody helped each other out.
Q: What was school like?
Mr. Caruso: School, well you couldn't get away with what you get away with now. I mean they were strict. They still used the yardstick or the pointer and they'd whack you with it. And if you went home and told your mother and father, they'd say what did you do wrong? They never blamed the teacher. You must have done something wrong. They were stricter. Elementary school was a lot of fun. We used to have a lot of fun. And I went to Newton High School; it used to be Newton North. That was the only high school they had then. And I used to walk to school, and in the wintertime of course you'd try to take the bus. School was good, I liked it.
Q: What were your daily chores?
Mr. Caruso: Well like I say, we had the animals; the chickens, and ducks, and rabbits and stuff. I had to make sure that they were fed. I'd have to do that before I could go out to play. And I had to get wood and fill up the box. I helped my mother around the house, cleaning and stuff because I didn't have a sister so I was expected to help. My mother wasn't very well anyways so I used to help. And I'm glad because I learned how to cook and I learned how to do a lot of things.
Q: Do you recall your first job that you had for pay? What was it like? What did you do with the money you made?
Mr. Caruso: My first job, I used to go around for the baker. And I used to get $0.25 a day or if I worked the whole week, I'd get $0.50 a day and I'd give the money to my mother and if I wanted to go to the movies, she would just give me the money, or if I wanted to go to a ball game, she would dole it out to me. And my first job, this was in the late '30s when I graduated from school, I became a machinist. And almost the first year, you have to work 48 hours per week. In other words you used to have to work on Saturdays also. Your pay was something like $0.33 per hour or something like that. But as I say with all of that you make $13 or $14 a week. But there were a lot of little farms around and the younger fellas they'd work on a farm like picking beans or something like that or working the farm. There were a lot more gardens and stuff and it wasn't like it is now were we are dependent on going to the store.
Q: Were members of your family affected by the Great Depression? How?
Mr. Caruso: My family wasn't affected much by the Depression because my father was one of the fortunate ones. People used to always say, "Gee you're lucky that you have a job". So during the Depression, he always had a weekly pay. A lot of the poor people in those days lost their jobs and like I'd say a lot of them were immigrants and they used to do a lot of construction work and then the construction work stopped so I mean there was a lot of unemployed.
Q: Was your faith strong as a young person?
Mr. Caruso: Yes, yes it was. It was strong. I used to go to church every Sunday and you used to have to go to your CCD classes right after church so you would just stay for those. Now you go during the week.
Q: How do you recall Franklin D. Roosevelt?
Mr. Caruso: I remember Franklin D. Roosevelt and one of the things that you remember mostly about Franklin D. Roosevelt was he used to have these radio "Fireside Chats" he called them. You used to sit there and listen to him. I though he was a great president with all the programs that he had like the CCCs which was a conservation camps and you'd work on the woods and things like that. And WPA, I know that they made a couple of playgrounds in Newton when I was there. They used to work at Cold Springs and a couple of places like that and that was how they were able to survive by working on these programs. He gave people a job. I knew a lot of people who wanted to work but they just could find work. And they were hungry too.
Q: Do you remember the first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt? What was she like?
Mr. Caruso: And I remember Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a very intelligent woman and she was around for quite a while after he died. She was always involved in good things and she was a very good person.
Q: Do you remember ever seeing a Hooverville?
Mr. Caruso: Well, what you call homeless people? Well they would be around the railroads. You used to see them but they were just people who didn't have homes. They didn't have any money so they couldn't go live in a flat or anything like that 'cause they didn't have any money. You'd always see them with a little fire going cooking mostly stews and stuff like that.
Q: Did your parents think FDR's New Deal was a good program?
Mr. Caruso: My parent's thought the New Deal was a good deal. He was a very good president. For me he was, I thought he was. He was a president 3 times.
Q: Do you know anyone that was part of the New Deal programs?
Mr. Caruso: I can't remember. I think I had only 1 cousin that was in the CCCs and that was pretty good for the fellows in those days because they would get out and have a job to go to. I remember the construction jobs of the period. I remember the Golden Gate being built and the Empire State building, my uncle worked on it. He used to tell me about working way up on the high story floors and stuff like that. Hoover Dam I went over the Hoover Dam in 1949, I think it was. I remember that.
Q: One famous event of the late 1930's was the New York 1939 World's Fair, which was titled "the world of tomorrow". How do you remember this famous fair if at all?
Mr. Caruso: And I was telling my wife today, that I know that I went to the New York World's Fair because I had 2 uncles that lived in New York, but I don't remember it that well. I know that I went, but I don't remember and I went to a couple of other World's Fairs.
Q: While the country was in the Depression do you recall learning about Hitler's rise in Germany or the Japanese military advances in Asia?
Mr. Caruso: Yes, about Hitler and the Japanese. I remember reading about him going into Poland and down in Austria and places like that and invading into the Baltic countries up above there. And then of course I served in the service. I went into the service on May 21st, 1942. I was 22 years old. I went from Fort Devens to Miami Beach for training. And then from there up to Fort Dix and then went overseas and landed in Scotland. I was in the aviation engineers and we used to build airports. We came from Scotland and then sent just outside of London and built a big airport there which is still being used now, when Heathrow is full they use that one. From there we went to North Africa, I was in Algiers and from there we went to the invasion of Italy and I spent 18 months in Italy. And from Italy, I went to Corsaca and then came back to Italy and then went to the invasion of France, Southern France. Come back from France to Italy and then come up the Po River until the end of the war. And I was fortunate because I got to see my grandmother and I would never have met my grandparents. And my grandfather died just in May and I was there on 4th of July, 1944. And that was a good experience. I didn't mind being in the service because we got to build a lot of airports. We were always around airplanes and you would see about 300 or 400 planes in the air at one time. We used to have a group here and a group there and fields and it was really good.
Q: Do you think we are still affected by the Great Depression?
Mr. Caruso: I don't think we're still affected by the Great Depression but the way things are going now is not good. You see what's happening is that the way that I look at it is that the middle class are the people that really work to make this country the way that it was, and it is being depleted. They are losing jobs, some of the people are getting richer and you can see it with the gasoline prices. It is hurting the economy a lot. And it is hurting people, the small people.
Q: Did you volunteer for the Army?
Mr. Caruso: No, I was drafted but in those days you wanted to go because there was a reason to go. Right now the war is not the same type of war. It was different in those days.
Q: As you see it, how are kids different today than in your childhood era?
Mr. Caruso: Well the kids, I already said that. It's a shame; I think a lot of parents don't take an interest. In those days, a lot of the women didn't work. They were home and they watched their children and what they did and what they didn't do. Now, like I say, the computer is a great thing but there are also a lot of bad things about it. And if the parents don't watch it, then the kids can get in trouble. But like I say, they are not as, oh I don't know, if you saw an old lady on the corner, you'd help her out but now a-days, you could be laying on the floor dying and they go right by you. And if you say anything to someone, they look at you like you're a whack-o. But it's different now but you can't blame the children. Because their parents are not taking the interest, like your parents are watching what you do but a lot of them are just thinking about themselves, not their children. They'll go out and leave them alone. Children who are not of age to be left alone. It's a different world, a whole different world.
Q: Do you think there are any similarities between kids these days?
Mr. Caruso: I think the children are smarter now, much smarter now. When children are growing up, and you have television, they have Sesame Street so they can learn to read. All we had was our parents. Like my parents were born in Italy. I had to learn going to school. As a matter of fact, I didn't speak very well until I got in school because it was just a few years after my parents had come from Europe. You get a good start here, which is why there are smarter. They are smarter but they just don't, they are not as cordial to people. Some are very disrespectful to their parents. We couldn't get away with that. But I don't say that all of them are like that, but I say that the majority of them are like that. That is tough for children today. I worry about my grandchildren here Michael and Antonia because it's going to be tough. The way things are going; it is going to be tough unless something changes drastically. When I was growing up it was hard to start your life but so long as you go and have an education – education is the main thing now. And it is too bad that a lot of them can't get it because it is so expensive. Some parents just can't afford it and the economy is really bad and we owe a lot of money all over the world. I'm just hoping that it changes a little. It's difficult. I don't believe it was like this; politics are such that one won't give into the other. They don't compromise as much as they used to, it's more political and it is a shame.
Q: Do you think that there are any lessons from the Great Depression?
Mr. Caruso: I think it made people conscious of how they used their money. In those days you'd worry if you had enough money at the end of the week to pay your bills or to get food. You'd read about these food banks that would run out of food and you can understand because people don't have the money and they have to go to the food banks.
Q: Do you remember the Hurricane of '38?
Mr. Caruso: Oh yes. I was walking home from school and I was wondering what was going on. As I was walking home from school, the trees were falling down and I was saying "What's going on", 'cause in those days they didn't have the systems to warn you ahead of time. And even now, out in the Midwest, even when they warn you, sometimes you just can't get out. Oh yes, I remember that. We had to cut up a lot of trees. You didn't hear too much about hurricanes. That was the first one that I remember hearing about, in 1938. And as I say, I was just walking home and then all of sudden you see trees falling and the wind was blowing and you're saying "What is going on?" Then you come home and you read about it or you hear about it on the radio. Everything was radio in those days. It's funny when you talk about it now, but we used to sit in front of it and you'd be sitting there and laughing away at the sitcoms, well that is what we call them now. Fiber Magee and Molly was one and there was the Bob Hope show and Amos and Andy on Saturday and you'd; have the news. But you would just sit in front of it and my mother would be there knitting and my father would be there reading and listening.
Mr. Caruso: I hope I've been a little helpful anyway. I don't know 'cause it takes time to recollect, as you get old.

If you're looking for new ways to keep your Instagram account looking fly, or maybe you need a new colorful adventure to document on Snapchat, keep reading.
Opening on Gansevoort Street, just a stone's throw from the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Ice Cream will welcome ice cream-obsessed visitors from July 29 through August 31. So for only a month, people. The whimsical, interactive exhibit will be curated by designers, artists and friends and include an immersive chocolate room, a rainbow sprinkle swimming pool, balloons you can eat and an enormous, massive ice cream sundae. Zany attractions, indeed! You'll also get an ice cream tasting from a "food futurist." So, basically, it's Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
What is the Museum of Ice Cream, you ask?
It's basically a frozen dessert fanatic's dream.
If you're interested in the actual treats instead of the activities, do not worry. A custom app will allow guests to find their best match. Kinda like Tinder, only featuring ice cream flavors instead, which is far more promising.
Take the museum's word for it. It's going to be a
lick-able, likeable, shareable ice cream-centric experience
Perhaps second-most enticing to the sprinkle pool will be the Future Food Studio, where visitors can taste ice cream created by food futurist Dr. Irwin Adam. Make sure to check out the "scoop of the week" tasting, included in admissions tickets. This will feature ice creams from Black Tap, OddFellows, and other staples of New York City's ice cream scene.
If you'll be in the area, you can reserve tickets for $18 per person or $30 for two people — ice cream included, of course. Kids under 10 and senior citizens can get in for $10.
It's open six days a week—every day but Tuesday—from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (except on Sundays, when it'll stop scooping at 8 p.m.).

As many of our readers are from Canada I decided to share good news for them as well. The land of Maple Leaf will get LTE powered Samsung Galaxy Note within few days. Bell, Rogers and Telus have confirmed that Galaxy Nexus will be available at their networks but didn't gave any information about exact release date.
One thing we know for sure that it will be the Same Galaxy Note as we have seen elsewhere:
- 5.3" WXGA (1280 x 800) HD Super AMOLED screen
- 1.4GHz Dual Core Processor
- 8 megapixel camera with 1080p Full HD video recording & playback
- Li-on 2,500 mAh
- 16GB Internal memory + microSD (up to 32GB)
- S Pen (Advanced smart pen) – the main feature what makes this phone/tablet so special
So far the only mobile carrier who gave out information about pricing is Bell:
- No term: $ 729.95
- 3 Year: $199.95
Not a very customer friendly prices and contract terms but was we all know Canadians are cold nation and the same thing applies for mobile carrier prices. I don't know how much these phones cost without contract but I think you can get better deal by buying them without contract. Am I right?
None of carriers confirmed if they will get Pink Galaxy Note we found lasts and currently the one and only color will be black as for the release date.
Update(1): you can already find Galaxy Note on Bell.ca website and prices are just like we reported earlier. And Personally I give bonus pint for Bell website as it looks stunning and makes me want to buy Galaxy Note despite its high price tag.

So angry tonight, stupid local news
I'm sitting here playing on my computer and the local news is on the tv in the background. Fox Utah. I look up and there is a story about a cat stuck in a tree and how the "rescuers" sprayed the cat with a hose and then planned to catch it with a net. The cat fell about 30 feet and was missed and hit the ground. The stupid news presented this story as funny. The end of the story said "don't worry the cat is fine and only broke a tooth in his fall" uh huh huh huh. I'm in total disbelief that anyone would find that funny. You can bet that before I wrote this, I wrote an email to the news channel. Anyway, i knew you guys would understand.

That is disgusting. The poor kitty. It just makes me angry when animals are treated as sub humanReplyDelete
awful! poor kitty. they get so scared when they get stuck in trees! i'm glad you wrote an email, tell them what the eff is up!ReplyDelete
Good for you! I wouldn't have found this story funny, either and I bet the cat was none too happy.ReplyDelete
The news is typically ridiculous. I wish they would just do the weather first and then let all of us go to bed.
Seriously, because the ONLY reason to watch the local news is to get the weather update.ReplyDelete
