  • Manly Thanksgiving Cornbread Stuffing Recipe

    Brett & Kate McKay
    20 Nov 2009 | 8:31 am
    Thanksgiving Day in the United States is next week. Last year, we had our friend Karl Engel teach you how to cook and carve a Thanksgiving turkey like a man.  But a man needs stuffing to go along with that bird, so we brought Karl back to show you how to make a killer stuffing that will please any Thanksgiving crowd. Karl heads up Pigcasso, an award winning BBQ team. He’s been featured on the Travel Channel and Food Network, so Karl knows his stuff. Today Karl gives us a rundown on how to give a traditional Thanksgiving staple a twist with his Manly Cornbread Stuffing. Thanks Karl!

  • How to Make a Bed You Can Bounce a Quarter Off Of

    Brett & Kate McKay
    19 Nov 2009 | 8:19 pm
    Share It’s a scene familiar to any fan of war movies: old sarge is pacing the new recruits’ barracks, heels clicking on the floor, his eyes bulging as he inspects the soldiers’ bunks.  Tension fills the air; the men break out in a sweat. He checks to make sure each man’s uniform is just right, his boots are shined, and his clothes have been neatly folded in his locker. But the moment of truth comes when the sergeant pulls a quarter from his pocket and bounces it off the bed to see just how tightly it’s made. If it doesn’t bounce, the soldier usually has to…

  • The Return of Jai Alai

    Brett & Kate McKay
    18 Nov 2009 | 9:49 pm
    When I lived in Tijuana, Mexico, one of the things that caught my eye (besides all the dead dogs and cholos) was a huge, almost palatial building in the middle of downtown. It looked like it was transplanted from Morocco and was definitely out of place in the brown and dusty ugliness that is Tijuana. On the front of the building in big red letters it read: “Jai Alai.” Unfamiliar with the meaning of those words, I asked the locals to give me the scoop on what the building was used for. They introduced me to the interesting and tradition-rich game of jai alai (pronounced Hi-Lie).

  • How to Run a Meeting

    Brett & Kate McKay
    17 Nov 2009 | 4:51 pm
    Share Have you ever been at a meeting where all you can think about is how much more productive you’d be working alone at your desk? And how much of the company’s money is swirling down the drain while your co-workers surreptitiously check their Blackberries under the table? And how you wish you had made like the crew of the Enola Gay and carried a cyanide capsule with you? People hate meetings. But it’s not the meetings themselves that are inherently pencil-in-eye inducing, it’s how meetings are run. Without a real leader, meetings can become unproductive and…

    The whole world’s gone digital but I’ve never stopped subscribing to GQ Magazine. Why? Not sure, actually. Maybe because it’s iconic, or the fact that it’s always up-to-date even when guys like us are reporting on a daily basis. And yes, the ads. I still love checking out Tom Ford’s new campaigns in between an article about the next must-have blazer and the new It girl. It’s a good supplement. Especially, for a train ride or something. Well, Conde Nast is no fool. With the mobile market on the rise, they will be launching issues through the App Store, at…

    Maine-based shoemaker Quoddy has hit the century, and although no celebration plans have yet been made, they have plenty of justification. Their handmade style has gotten much praise as of late, so much so that they revenue has increased 100 percent year over year. They’ve also picked up some notable retail accounts, including Seattle-based Blackbird and New York’s Leffot. The Masleet Oxford shown above is really something else. The Horween Navy Chromexcel leather is mated with a red brick sole, making for one fine shoe. It’s 100% hand sewn, and like all Quoddy products, it…

    20 Nov 2009 | 3:56 am
    It took probably a couple of weeks for my husband to warm up to the stylish shirts from 191 Unlimited. He wasn’t particularly sold on the embroidered details on the shirts. But after a while, and most probably he got tired of me nagging to just try one on, he threw in the towel, so to speak. Now? Well, I’m not saying it’s his favorite shirts but his question about it when he’s wearing one is, “tucked or un-tucked?” I think that’s what we call progress. And for that, I think I’ll be buying him more 191 Unlimited shirts. Here are few shirts I like…

    If you’ve ever had to sign a birthday card for a co-worker by passing around a “manila envelope”, then you know what a silly process it is. Most of the time the recipient knows it’s coming and it’s really just a formality. This is why you’ll like GroupGreeting.com, a free service that allows you to create a digital group card that multiple people can sign and share from anywhere in the world. By creating a group greeting card, you can have the whole office, team or group of friends sign a card for an individual without having to pass around a physical card.

  • G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra The Game Review

    I’ve never been a fan of games made in conjunction with a movie, but a few weeks ago I was tapped to review GI JOE The Rise of Cobra the game and couldn’t help but be excited. You must understand though that I grew up in the eighties and so for me GI JOE represents not only countless childhood cartoon watching, but also it’s a chance for the powers that be (studio heads and game makers) to redeem themselves after having already thoroughly destroyed the Transformers franchise. After 30 minutes of playing: After watching the game intro, I already knew I was in trouble. The…

    6 Aug 2009 | 11:16 am
    At long last, the G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra movie is out this week. Reviews so far have been sparse as Paramount hasn’t let the critics see the flick. Along with the movie release, Electronic Arts is releasing its G.I. JOE game version simultaneously. The game will be available across multiple platforms, including Playstation 2 & 3, Xbox 360, PSP, Nintendo Wii & DS. I really hope G.I. Joe the movie or game does not suck. I am still trying to recover from how Transformers was trashed and hope GIJ does not suffer the same fate with the movie or game. As soon as we get our hands…

Basically, with retail sales falling off a cliff last Fall, many retailers and manufacturers were caught with far too much inventory in their stores or warehouses relative to what people were willing to buy.

    Bay Area residents remotely involved in the high-tech sector are undoubtedly familiar with TED. Short for "Technology, Entertainment, Design", the first conferences were about world-changing ideas in those 3 fields. To be invited to the TED conference was/is a big deal; I have never been invited, and yes I am bitter about it. Today, TED presentations cover a slightly wider array of topics, but I'm certainly not complaining after having watched Sam Martin's presentation on "Manspaces". There's nothing particularly revolutionary about the idea, but if you've ever built…

    In my formative college years as a student radical at Berkeley -- ed. note: I was not a radical at Berkeley, but a widespread perception tends to be that anyone at Berkeley was a radical -- I had the distinct pleasure of working at a traditional men's store called George J. Good which was considered a minor Berkeley institution. The store opened in 1930 just across the street from the campus back when young men wore three-piece suits, hats, and smoked pipes during class! The store outfit generations of students, faculty, staff, and briefly, even football coach Steve Mariucci before he left…

    Here's another great gift idea for your child’s grandparents, god parents/guardians or perhaps even for yourself. Zumyn allows you to create a mosaic photo of your child using your entire collection of baby photos. The web site's photo upload tool compresses your pictures before uploading (saving you plenty of time), and the clever Zumyn software will then arrange your photos to represent any particular picture you choose. It's free to use, but you can pay for prints on photo paper or canvas if you like the results. read more

    In every marriage, spouses face an inevitable choice between their children and their spouse. It is a classic dilemma that confronts every couple and one that is inescapable and difficult. It is especially true in second marriages, like mine. I have to admit, it is an ongoing issue in our home and one I’m trying to figure out with the right amount of love and respect shown towards everyone. Some therapists advise that the husband/wife should always come first. Others, like Dr. Laura, advise to always put the kids first. As with much of her advice, I think it’s too cut-and-dried and…

If I squeeze it hard enough, I will get the sweetest, largest drink. With every question, every detail, I squeeze and twist harder. So, hearing their stories gives me this tell-able past. It's a past that I cannot have but can at least hear told, so I cling to their stories. I spoke with my children tonight on the telephone, and it reminded me of how each…

    Finally! I’m so glad the cold weather is starting to settle-in down here in Florida. Maybe it’s because I can’t stand sweating profusely, but I find that working out in the cold helps me train harder. I think back to my football days and reminisce about practicing in the cold. We’d get out of practice without breaking a sweat, or so it seemed. We did sweat, but it wasn’t as bad as during the Summer. When I’m working out in the cold I feel like Rocky.

  • Man Only Spoke Klingon To Son For Three Years

    20 Nov 2009 | 12:00 pm
    This is an interesting story to me. There’s liking Star Trek, and then there’s liking Star Trek a little too much. Like, way too much. Like, to the point where it’s detrimental to your child’s development and opinion of you. Case in point, a man in Minnesota only spoke to his son in Klingon for the first three years of his life. Star Trek only recently became actually cool, with the new release of the prequel. Before it was always borderline entertaining at best, and I say that as a Trekkie. So the motivation for d’Armond Speers teaching his son Klingon is…

    20 Nov 2009 | 9:27 pm
    I don’t know if it’s true but I heard once that Buckminster Fuller woke up blind one morning for no apparent reason. And then, some time later, he woke up one morning sighted again for no apparent reason. He reentered the world with more curiosity than before, more appreciation for beauty and science, a greater ability to problem solve and invent, full of passion and life. Then there’s the space shuttle. It shakes and ricochets its way back to earth, nearly blown to bits in the end. It reenters Earth’s atmosphere tattered and charred. For most of the week since El…

    In the first year of our relationship Yanci asked me in a letter to pray for her Dad because he needed help. What kind of help? I thought. Is he OK? Is there something more I can do than pray? On the bus last week I asked Yanci’s mom what that prayer request was all about. “I’ve been praying for him for four years now and I don’t why. I don’t know if God’s already answered my prayers.” Her face broke into a huge grin as she told me the story through a translator. Her husband was unable to find work, so he drank a lot. And because he drank a lot he was…

Unlike the bloggers on our trip, I didn’t have the time to write much while we were in El Salvador. So, if you’re burned out on the subjects of poverty, kids, hope and hurricanes, you might want to stop reading my blog for a few days. I’ve got some stories to tell.

    What happens when a hurricane hits the U.S.? Telethons. Thousands donated. FEMA. Thousands housed. Hospitals. Thousands healed. Insurance. Thousands rebuild. What happens when a hurricane hits a house made of mud? When earth by the ton gives way and slides through a neighborhood? When beds, clothes, and families are swallowed up by flood waters and mud? What happens when all this happens in a small village in the smallest nation in Central America? With almost no government resources? Without insurance and a hospital nearby or a car to visit it?

    As it is in the West, so it is in India only worse. This article reports on Indian men's protests on International Men's Day (DNA India, 11/20/09).  In Mumbai, men and women (often second wives) took to the streets holding signs and shouting slogans like these: "Indian male - hapless animal"; "women empowered men unpowered"; "husband not an ATM machine", "options for Indian male - be henpecked or handcuffed" According to them, Indian family law is much the same as it is in various western nations.  There as here, they say, dads are seen only as a source of funds and can be driven out of…

    There aren't many invariable rules in life, but I'm pretty sure this is one: if you hear someone say "his lack of presence" when he means "his absence," you're dealing with a bureaucratic mentality, possibly in its terminal stages.  Look out for trouble. Not long ago, according to this article, in North Coventry, Pennsylvania, a father arrived at the West-Mont Christian Academy intending to talk to a kindergarten teacher about his child who is a student there (Daily Local, 11/18/09).  He talked to a teacher who walked with him to a public lobby where he was to wait to talk to his…

    Robert Franklin, Esq.
    20 Nov 2009 | 6:41 am
    A while back, I posted a piece about two separate Canadian surveys that show overwhelming support for equally-shared parenting laws.  Each showed support of around 78%.  At the time (and maybe still), there was a bill before Parliament to establish the presumption of equally shared parenting in divorce and custody cases.  The bill was given little chance of passage, so I pointed out the radical difference between what Canadians say they want and what their elected "representatives" are willing to do.  The message "we know what's best for you; now run along and play" seems to be more and…

  • Report: 20% of Divorced Parents Want to Make Other Parent's Contact with Child 'as Unpleasant as Possible'

    Robert Franklin, Esq.
    19 Nov 2009 | 4:14 pm
    When parents are at loggerheads, there should be much more done to sustain the interests of the father and child. When a mother turns her child against the father, when a mother refuses to comply with a court order on contact, nothing is done because it is felt sanctions against her would not be in the interests of the child. But is the situation as it stands in that child’s interests? We pay only lip service to the rights of a child to have contact with a father and we need to do better. This article is another one to address the findings of the Mishcon de Reya report on the impacts of…

    It's been many years since feminists like Katha Pollitt at The Nation waxed apoplectic about a Washington, D.C. mother who lost custody of a child to her ex-husband.  The woman was a hardworking senior aide to, if memory serves me, a Congressional representative.  As the job requires, she pulled long hours, leaving home early in the morning and often not returning until long after the children were in bed.  She missed school meetings, playdates, birthdays.  Her husband, on the other hand, quit his job so he could take one with greater flexibility.  That was because he wanted to take more…

    With over 1000 deaths attributed to H1N1 flu staring us all in the face and long lines for what little H1N1 flu vaccine that is available, President Obama has declared H1N1 flu a national emergency. A spokesman from the Obama Administration equates this declaration to local state of emergencies that are declared before a hurricane hits land. With the growing number and rate of infections, and the threat of H1N1 flu cases overwhelming the healthcare system in some communities, this declaration allows a more rapid response and movement of resources to areas that need them.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given its approval for boys age 9 to 26 to receive the HPV vaccine Gardasil. The vaccine has been in use with females 9 to 26 since 2006. HPV, also known as human papillomavirus can cause cervical cancer in women. In men HPV can lead to anal cancers and genital warts. While there are dozens of strains of HPV, Gardasil targets the 4 that most commonly cause cancers and rectal warts. Ideally, the vaccine is gotten before becoming sexually active since that is the way HPV is transmitted. Note that for now, Gardasil use in boys is only being considered…

    It's amazing how different a timepiece can be perceived just by changing something ever so slightly.  The Rolex Datejust, AKA the most versatile watch on the planet, can be made clean and simple, interesting and exotic, or even notorious by adding a simple logo or a rock or two. Today we've found a piece of pure Americana that happens to be in the form of a Rolex wristwatch.   This classic Datejust was made in 1969 for the two participants in that year's Cotton Bowl.  For those who don't remember, it was this game that Texas beat Tennessee by a score of 36 to 13. …

It is the smallest, simplest, and most understated Rolex sport watch and its purity has been left unchanged for the better part of a century.  We have written about some pretty interesting ones in our day (for a full list, see here) but if there is one uniting quality, it is that each Explorer had a black face. Or did they?? Today's watch is most certainly a Rolex Explorer, but a rare white-dialled version from the early 1960s or 1950s.  It is reference…

Following so quickly after the revelation that sex trafficking was a pack of lies designed to demonise all prostitution in the eyes of the public, the news that an intelligent, articulate woman chooses prostitution of her own volition and makes a handsome living from it, is yet more evidence that the feminist victim culture is as wrong-headed and deceitful as it is sordid and pathetic.

    Women and children. The two words go together like wine and cheese. Like babbling and brook. Like Micro and Soft (errr I’m thinking about Dr. Phil again, sorry). Women have been with babies since the beginning of recorded history, and probably since before then. They make themselves useful by having babies, taking care of them until they know where to shit and when to eat. Then, hopefully, the men take charge and make men out of boys. That’s the way its always been, and that’s why a million government programs targeted at babies also end up feeding quite a few women in the…

Laws that are supposed to be gender neutral are seldom interpreted that way by the courts. Our society is not about getting criminals it is about getting men if it were about getting criminals then women would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law but they aren't. We see how men are systematically denied the right to their own residence via protection orders put up by the wife or girlfriend because…

    I've often heard of MRA's saying things are going to reach critical mass. I myself have said that there will be a revolution but now that we examine the evidence before us is that going to be the case? How many men actually know about the men's movement? How many actually care? How many know their rights are being eroded away? How many are going to take action to stop and reverse this process? How many are going to write their elected leaders and protest this injustice? Not many. Things aren't going to change just because 25 guys are blogging about it you also need to be activist.

    I've often said it because it's true we are living in a matriarchy. Feminism has permeated the culture and spread its poisonous filth. Everyday we are bombarded with messages that say you are nothing if you don't have a woman meanwhile women are told they are to be independent and in charge and lead (except if it's a 2 am sound in her darken home then she runs to men to save her worthless feminist hide). These messages are mainly propagandized by women and manginas. They won't make movies depicting men as independent because that will piss off women and we all know that most western men are…

    New York-based British Apparel recently contacted OTC with the news that, along with its Italian partner Punto, they had developed the world's first, 12-month, year-round cashmere socks. And, they are machine washable. Would I like to try out a couple of pair?Of course I did; not only because I’ve wanted to check out cashmere socks ever since I sold them at $175 a pop for Ralph Lauren way back when, but also because I really wanted to see if they are in fact machine washable. One of the biggest pet peeves I have about these kinds of luxury items is the maintenance factor.According to…

    10 Nov 2009 | 2:41 pm
    Mike T. from Scottsdale Arizona recently asked if OTC has ever written about bow ties. Mike has been sporting them for 30 years and I couldn't be happier to hear it.As a guy from New England, and an Ivy League college town to boot, I know from bow ties. I have long been a big fan and to me they have always represented a shot of jaunty intellectual creativity. So, I dug through the OTC archives and pulled together some thoughts on bow ties.Just so we're clear, I am taking about the bow ties you actually have to tie yourself. Clip-ons are to me a wasted effort. The imperfection of a self tied…

In fact, it's one of the first bags I ever wrote about and was sent to me by John Peterman himself - it can't really get better than that.The bag, based on the classic leather workhorse lugged across the country by a generation of letter carriers, is simple and classic.

    Hard to believe the NBA season is almost a month old already. Time flies when you are changing diapers and trying to stay awake past 11pm to catch a west coast game. For those who have been watching the Raptors this season, there is one glaring thing that is wrong with the team. They seem to of removed defense from the game plan. Sure there have been the odd moments of shock when they beat Cleveland opening night, slowed down the Bulls at home and made a huge comeback against the Clippers but all-in-all the D have been a giant load of dino-dung. Every week there seems to be a 120 or 130 on…

    By Andy Charles I know it has been amazing to watch some of Chris Bosh’s play so far in the early days of the NBA season, but it really does come with a touch of sadness that this might just be his last year as a Raptor. It would be too easy to say that Bosh’s performances are down to the money he can expect to get at the end of the season when he becomes a free agent, but there is no way Toronto will be able to afford him, even if he wanted to stay, if he keeps putting up these numbers. Of course, the Raptors could go to the playoffs this season, have a lot of success, and even win the…

    The Detroit Lions are officially terrible. A winless season didn’t make it official. #1 draft picks flaming out didn’t make it official. Hiring Matt Millen didn’t make it official. But fans selling a towel proclaiming “We Are Terrible” as a play on words from the Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towel makes it very official. And at $10 you’ll get years of good out of your towel cleaning up the vomit when Matthew Stafford throws another pick. Or the defense giving up another 200-yard rushing effort. Of course the local Detroit media jumped all over this story.

My local shop got them in a few weeks ago so I finally had a chance to give it a try. The Room101 Cigar is made by Camacho Cigars for Matt Booth. The cigar is a blend of Honduran and Dominican tobacco featuring a Semilla 101 Wrapper grown exclusively for this project. I’m smoking the 305 (Robusto) the size I typically reach for in most cigars. The cigar is considered medium bodied according to the the Room101…

  • Up Your Tailgate With Pizza on the Grill

    BG
    19 Nov 2009 | 2:29 pm
    As promised earlier this week, here is the recipe for pitmaster Chris Lilly's Indonesian Sweet and Sour Grilled Shrimp Pizza. Cooked over an open fire right on the grill. We put some of these bad boys together last week at Kingsford University, and it was the first time I ever grilled a pizza. For me, pizza was an oven thing. Period. Wood burning brick oven with an open flame? Sure. But on a grill? Never. Until I had these. Then I was hooked. Grilling gives the crust an added smokey flavor that's very similar to brick oven, in about 7 minutes. (And without having to install a brick oven in…

  • Mischievous Thanksgiving Drinks From Hornitos

    BG
    19 Nov 2009 | 1:56 pm
    You gotta love Hornitos Tequila. They pride themselves on being the "taste of mischieve", and most of their ads use a play on the "horni" part of their name. Officially equating mischief and horniness with tequila? About time. And in time for your Thanksgiving party, here are two holiday cocktails. The Cranberry Sauced will help make those hours with the family more tolerable. And after dinner you can hit the bar and ask a chick if she'd like to enjoy a Horni Pilgrim.

    Back when I was a kid, we used to build model rockets with my dad in the basement. And by "we used to build" I mean my brother and I would stand around "not touching anything" until Dad got it all assembled and the glue dried. You remember those rockets: cardboard tube body, balsa wood nose cone and fins, lead paint job, and all held together with that glue that caused headaches. Add in the fact that we shoved a gunpowder-filled "engine" into the ass end, lit it and stood around, and you had a Child Protective Service's wet dream. These days kids have much safer (and greener), ways to launch…

    Author Tom Cotter’s trilogy of vintage vehicle tomes are great reads – and nearly impossible to put down. After all, who among us doesn’t dream of finding a long-forgotten Ferrari or a classic Indian motorcycle collecting dust in some old codger’s shed just before it hits the estate sale? Cotter’s latest book, the Vincent in the Barn (preceded by The Cobra in the Barn, and The Hemi in the Barn) consists of 39 tales of motorcycle archaeology – including the account of how Jay Leno added another ultra-rare Vincent Black Shadow to his collection of motorcycles, and the story of a…

    If you or anyone you know enjoys a little kick with their food, these personalized, gallon jugs of Tabasco’s famous hot sauces should have you salivating (or sweating) already. Available in the classic original, as well as their four other popular flavors including chili pepper, chipotle, green pepper, and tongue-scorching habanero, buying one for the kitchen should give you enough of the good stuff to liberally pour on just about every plate. Each gallon jug equals around 66 normal bottles of Tabasco. And there will be no doubt who struck hot sauce gold, thanks to the personalized note…

    The 2010 Hennessey HPE700 LS9 Camaro is proof that American muscle is not dead, but rather in the hands of mad scientists who love cramming bigger engines into products not originally intended for them. In other words, a good place and a guaranteed recipe for either disaster or utter torque-laden bliss. How does one get to the Hennessey picture above though? First, one purchases a crated 6.2 liter supercharged LS9 V8 engine from GM Performance parts for $23,100(yes, you can buy straight engines), then they look around for a vessel to stuff it into like the 2010 Camaro, then one becomes a…

    The book I've had since 2003 Ever heard of the punk band “Kill Your Idols?” I love their name.  To me it speaks to how we need to differentiate from our teachers otherwise our view of them can become an impediment, or an obstacle that gets in the way of our own waking up process. This concept or “teaching” is not new. There is even a website called Kill the Buddha after a well known Zen saying. This site sums up the concept here: The idea of “killing the Buddha” comes from a famous Zen line, the context of which is easy to imagine: After years on his cushion, a monk has what…

    In my last post we explored the concept of selfishness as it pertains to personal growth. To take the conversation a step further, we have to talk about service. Why? Because if you really want to talk about not being selfish, then a conversation about being self-less needs to happen. But what is selflessness? What does that really mean? And how do I know when I am being selfish versus selfless? I’m here to assert that by being “selfish” you can be genuinely selfless. Selflessness, or serving and helping others, is one of the core pillars of being a revolutionary man. To live is to…

    In reference to attending my leadership training, a client said to me, “Can’t be selfish at this time in my life.” He’s in his mid-thirties and has been miserable for years. Not happy in his marriage, not happy as a father, not happy in his job. The guy is in a ton of pain. Recently, he had some big breakthroughs and started to get honest, admit everything above, and begin the work toward a different life. My client’s statement is not new and one I know well.

O-nami was immensely strong and knew the art of wrestling. In his private bouts he defeated even his teacher, but in public he was so bashful that his own pupils threw him. O-nami felt he should go to a Zen master for help. Hakuju, a wandering teacher, was stopping in a little temple nearby, so O-nami went to see him and told him of his trouble. “Great Waves is your name,” the teacher advised, “so…

Truth be told, the more I come to think about it, years ago, I used to be the same with wine,  avocado, tuna, mushrooms, certain types of music and a lot of other things as well.

These are certainly the case some of the time, but by no means all the time.

And when you mention single parents, one of the first things many think about is child support! With the growth of the internet and entertainment/gossip websites and tv programs, we know much more about celebrities' and public figures' lives.  And their child support situation is always a hot topic with us.  I'm not sure what the actual stats are, but I do know a lot of single mothers that complain about the lack of getting…

      Follow Torrey on Twitter For many men, purchasing an engagement ring is one of the most confusing and frustrating processes ever. To even get to this point means he has very strong feelings for a particular women in his life, which is a great thing. But confusing, nonetheless! I was thinking back to when I went through the process of buying my wife an engagement ring. I had a descent job, but really didn’t make a whole lot of money. To get extra money, I was pawning and selling stuff like I was collecting bail money or something. And many dinners consisted of…

    Thick knits, skinny knits, and in-between ones all look perfect for the bundling-up season when photographed by Roger Rich. Heavy leather boots hit a high when paired with strong, solid colors, and the whole editorial kind of makes you want to spend a weekend at the country house just so you can look this good while there. Definitely a smart choice for anyone in or visiting colder regions.

    Common, everyday household items contain chemicals that are harmful and dangerous to our health. Although governing authorities relentlessly advise that these chemicals are “safe in low doses,” more and more evidence seems to suggest — even advise — otherwise. Products that contain BPA, phthalates and PBDEs are prevalent in body washes, deodorants, children’s toys, perfumes, body and hand lotions, automobile interiors, shower curtains and hundreds of other ordinary household products. A national study has now revealed these chemicals present in the blood and urine samples of…

Granola bars Oligofructose, sorbitan, monosterate, polysorbate 60, sodium caseinate, FD&C Red 40, dextrose, lactate pentahydrate. And now, the ingredients you’ve…
