Call me a curmudgeon, but how is the Lambada not really just like the Samba? And how is the Bolero not really just like the Rumba? And isn't the Charleston sort of a Foxtrot on speed (and with more kicks)? And don't get me started on the two-step.
In other words: Meh. Change is bad.
But let's talk about why:
1. The show kicked off with Chuck and Anna dancing the Two-step. Chuck is this season's Billy Ray Cyrus. Or Jerry Springer. Or [insert name of guy who stayed way to long because we as "trying".] I mean, come on. He just sort of stamps around. There is no dance quality. None. He should go home. It's that simple. Bottom line: Despite my ardent wishes, I'm not even sure he'll be at risk!
2. Melissa and Mark danced the Charleston. I'll confess I don't get why the judges went so crazy for this. Did no one else notice her bad posture and slumped shoulders? Was that considered part of her "character"? And did no one else notice she was totally winded at the end? I mean, yes, it was a big improvement for her, but it wasn't all that. IMHO. Bottom Line: Well, I guess she'll be safe, based on judges scoring alone.
3. Natalie and Alec danced the Bolero. Which seemed pretty much like last week's Rumba. She is a little awkward at transitions...she lacks a certain fluidity, but she has terrific lines (hard not to with that body) and very impressive flexibility. You could really see the effort there, and that combo of natural talent and effort will keep her around for a while, I think. Bottom line: Safe.
4. Aaron and Karina danced the forrrrrrbidden dance, the Lambada...and got totally crucified by the judges. A little disproportionately, I think. Sure, it was frenetic, but he has good basic moves and they did some really fun tricks. It did not seem fair that he would score as low as Chuck. Bottom line: Kind of feel like the judges have it in for them, and that might translate into weak voting too.
5. Mark and Lacey danced the Two -Step, and it didn't seem very country to me, how about you? Mark doesn't seem to have great rhythm. It's a shame because he's strong, and flexible, and does good kicks and leaps. But in between anything like that, he isn't really feeling the music. And it shows. Bottom line: Really? Do he and Lacey each and together have that strong a fan base? I keep feeling like his cold approach might eventually leave the audience cold too.
6. Kelly and Louis danced the Charleston. Although she had the occasional quick-step, this was cute. The low self-esteem is getting a little old, but that's just because I'm obviously insensitive and mean. Bottom line: I think she'll be safe again. If Sharon is in the audience, no one will risk her wrath :)
7. Joanna and Derek danced the Lambada. Joanna has fearlessness and good basic skills. And Derek has great choreography. But she does lack a little finesse, and it will hurt them if he doesn't whip her into shape. Her legs weren't really straight on the otherwise impressive repeated spins on the floor. Their last post was this close to falling apart. They are quick and sharp, but she's already at a disadvantage as an unknown supermodel, so he needs to work on her grace and elegance. Bottom line: I wouldn't be surprised if she is at risk for that latter "supermodel" curse reason.
8. Donny and Kym danced the Charleston. Well, what a gimme giving Donny the Charleston. It's completely up his theatrical alley. And no. I didn't actually mean that to sound dirty. This was full of charm, energy and dance authenticity. And blinding Osmondness, don't forget. Bottom line: What's not to love?
9. Michael and Anna danced the Bolero, and I confess: I thought Michael improved the most of anyone form last week to this. I believed his romantic intensity. He made a point of having strong arms. They had good chemistry together. And sure, yes, it was her dancing around him posing. But he posed pretty well :) Bottom line: Good poses or no, I think he'll be at risk again.
10. Louie and Chelsie danced the Two-step. And it was bad. If they escape the bottom 2 it will be due to adorable, pat-you-on-the-head cuteness only.He was stiff and just kind of walked around, while she two-stepped her way straight to CuteOverload status. He had no musicality whatsoever. Bottom line: Ought to be at risk.
11. Mya and Dmitry danced the Lambada.And it was, no surprise, really good. So my only comment really is: Jeez, take it easy on the body oil on Mya and her legs...a little glisten is nice. That much shine looks kinda dirty. Maybe that was the point, but I don't care. Icky. Bottom line: She's very safe. Hence me talking about her oily legs.
Bottom line for the Bottom 2:
If it were me, it would be:
Chuck and Anna
Louie and Chelsie
And Chuck and Anna would be going home.
I'm going to take a wild guess that the Bottom 2 will be:
I was invited to attend the first-ever Subaru Responsible Recreation Excursion September 21 - 24, 2009. Upon my arrival at the Jackson Hole Wyoming airport I was greeted by a staff member holding a Subaru sign and guided to a new 2010 Subaru Outback for a scenic drive to Colter Bay Village Campground in the Teton National Park. I was so excited to be doing a media camping trip, awestruck yet again by the largeness and majesty of this magical place.
"Grand Teton" means "large teat" in French, named by either French-Canadian or Iroquois members of an expedition led by Donald McKenzie of the North West Company. It was a reminder to me that October was coming soon and a good time to donate some attention to Breast Cancer Awareness month. My niece and two of my key employees are survivors so I am reminding my women readers to get that preventative breast maintenance done, GET a mammogram every year. Good preventative breast maintenance does make a difference, an estimated 192,370 U.S. women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and the declines of mortality rates are thought to be due to improvements in treatment as well as early detection.
After my arrival and introductions to the Subaru PR team and the awesome folks from Leave No Trace, I was escorted to my North Face igloo tent, my sleeping quarters for the next two nights. The fall and turning of the leaves of scenic Grand Teton National Park temperatures were a chilly 26 degrees that night but we kept warm with a fireside dinner, a fireside presentation by Leave No Trace, popcorn, snacks, and a movie under the stars that first night.
Now I am an avid camper and see myself as pretty fearless even under strong bear warnings. We were all given "bear spray" and it was suggested we keep it with us especially at night! The group was a pretty inexperienced at camping except the Leave No Trace folks, so the scary bear stuff made everyone a bit edgy, even me! I had a recent bear close encounter at Mount Whitney; to be honest I did not want a repeat on this camping excursion. I brought ZERO anything that had a scent in my bag, even bought unscented everything and was grateful there were no bear sightings during the trip.
Day two began with breakfast, our woman chef cooked up a storm and kept our appetites under control and delighted us with delicious and unexpected cuisine on a camp-out. They depicted we would hone our driving skills during a scenic drive to the top of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort - home to majestic views and excellent winter skiing. We signed waivers and all, BUT what the plan turned out to be was a nearly off-road trek up a steep, NARROW, rocky, rutted service road just barely wider than the 2010 Subaru Outback. My co-driver was Jason Oliver Nixon; Global Lifestyle Editor of Delta Sky Magazine an interesting well traveled soulful guy who, as it turned out, had nerves of steel to boot. I want to state the 2010 Subaru Outback stuck to that road like glue and was very impressive as it felt so stable, in control of the conditions, and relatively comfortable on that rough road.
My frayed nerves were the only casualty that day as the steep drop offs really tweaked me. My co-driver Jason kept me calm and talked me down that mountain, thanks Jason! Subaru is the only company that features Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard equipment on every vehicle in its product line. Our "scenic drive to the top of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort" really put it to the test and the 2010 Outback passed with flying colors.
The 2010 Subaru Outback comes standard with stability and traction control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, front side airbags and side curtain airbags that offer additional head protection for front and rear occupants. Intelligent dual-stage deployment front air bags use sensors to detect the presence and weight of a front passenger and also the driver's distance from the steering wheel. The system determines front air bag deployment strength for optimal occupant protection. I am really glad we did not put that feature to the test but good to know how safe I really was. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, the Outback scored the top rating of "Good" in both frontal-offset and side-impact tests. An increase in ground clearance (to 8.7 inches) has improved the 2010 Outback's ability to make its way through a rutted roads undamaged and provides a significant improvement in rear seat space (4 additional inches of legroom) and cargo capacity and has adjustable roof rails that easily swing inward to serve double-duty as cross rails.
On the way back to camp, we stopped for an interpretive walk at the historic site of Menor's Ferry. Our guide discussed the conservation efforts that started at this location in the early 1920's as well as current sustainability efforts within Grand Teton National Park and we took a ferry ride across the snake river. There were yellow jackets everywhere and one bit me and I thought "No big deal," as I brushed it off and we headed back to camp around 5 pm to rest up before our drive over to Jackson Lake to watch the sun set over the mountains with a champagne toast. Michael A. Butler, Special Projects Editor Better Homes & Gardens and I took some amazing shots of that sunset. They brought in a most enjoyable campfire entertainer that night after dinner who belted out some wonderful ballads and blues tunes as we made s'mores and enjoyed the campfire that final night camping out under the stars. I went to bed early feeling very tired, happy and overwhelmed by the spectacular beauty of the Grand Tetons surrounding me.
Leave No Trace was founded on strong principles eco-friendly ethics and I applaud Subaru for their partnership with this wonderful non-profit to encourage stewardship of nature by Subaru owners who have a higher likelihood of use of natural spaces and places. Leave No Trace also has a wonderful teen program that works to meet the needs of educators with outdoor ethics curriculum for teens. This curriculum is also a resource for teens to teach their peers and learn more about the Leave No Trace program. The program can be used in conjunction with other environmental curriculum in both a classroom and outdoor setting. Watch a video about it here at YouTube.com
On my third day I missed out on the service project we would be working on in coordination with Grand Teton National Park and Colter Bay Village campground to improve natural wildlife migration paths within the Park. My yellow jacket bite turned into a medium-to-large-sized allergic reaction (man! those Wyoming yellow jackets can pack a punch), so I rested that last day at the luxurious and world renowned Amangani Resort and enjoyed a dinner to celebrate our time and share stories together over a hearty dinner of Bison and blueberries.
Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine was the sole Republican to vote "yes" on the health care reform bill approved this afternoon by a vote of 14 to 9 by the Senate Finance Committee.
The chattering classes had been watching Snowe carefully as she refused to state her position the last minute. However, her vote in favor of the health care reform package crafted by committee chairman Sen. Max Baucus wasn't a huge surprise--as my colleague Paul Blumenthal writes, her voting record looks more like a conservative Democrat's than a Republican's.
Now the action moves to the full Senate. But first this version of the bill must be "reconciled" with another passed by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
It's a convoluted process, to be sure, even more so than we all learned about on School House Rock. (Remember "I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill"?)
To read the bill passed by the Senate Finance Committee today, go here.
Every pumpkin carver must wonder, "Can't we make something from these pumpkin seeds? Roast them maybe?" And sure, you can. Many people do. I have and will again. But first a little pumpkin-seed anatomy lesson.
Straight out of the pumpkin, inspect a pumpkin seed and the first thing you'll encounter is the white-ish exterior hull. The hull is tough and fibrous, not inedible, but, well, chewy. Inside is the coveted kernel, pale green and full of nutrition. (Can't imagine that? Then consider the more familiar sunflower seed, with a tough outer hull protecting an inner kernel. Same thing.)
In Mexican cooking, pumpkin seeds are called 'pepitas' [puh-PEE-tahs] and a Mexican market is a great source of prepared pumpkin seeds, both with their hulls on and my own favorite, just the kernels.
First up, you do want to try roasting pumpkin seeds.
Andrea's Recipes ~ Roasted Pumpkin Seeds "We roast our seeds without preboiling, and our favorite flavors are cajun seasoning or curry powder and sea salt. Using spray oil was something new I tried this year, and I really like how it worked. Nice and neat, and not too oily."
But then, get creative.
An appetizer made with pumpkin seeds, perhaps?
101 Cookbooks ~ Broiled Goat Cheese with Pumpkin Seed Sauce "The tanginess of the goat cheese works nicely with the bite of jalapeno, and strength of cilantro. It's a great party recipe, you can make it well ahead of time and bake it off at the last minute."
Seeds can be the basis of a main dish too.
Red Ramekin ~ New World Quinoa Salad "... the pepitas: they add an amazingly delicious crunch to this salad ... they look so pretty, and add another dimension (in flavor and texture) to the dish. Enjoy!"
Baking and Books ~ Spaghetti Squash with Pumpkin Seed Pesto "... this meal is surprisingly satisfying and delicious – who knew squash on squash could taste so good? In the absence of cheese, which is usually added to pestos, the pumpkin seeds add an earthy, nutty flavor that is nicely complimented by the sweetness of the basil. The spaghetti squash has both texture and a subtle flavor, just enough to enhance the pesto."
I love to tuck seeds into breads, adding texture, protein and variety.
Wild Yeast Blog ~ Pumpkin Seed Bread "This pumpkin seed bread is soft, although it contains 67% whole-grain flour, because it also has a fair amount of butter — very nice for sandwiches and toast."
Oh right. And the sweet stuff, you knew we'd get to pumpkin seeds in baked goods, didn't you? Right!
Apple Pie, Patis & Pate ~ Pumpkin Seed Cream Scones "Cream-based scones are as quick and easy as scones can get. This recipe requires nothing more than cream and any combination of dried fruits and nuts of your choice."
Alpine Berry ~ Poppy Pumpkin Seed Poppers "I didn't quite know what to call these cookies. I started with a recipe for Russian tea cakes / Mexican wedding cookies, but filled them with a combination of toasted pumpkin seeds (aka pepitas) and poppy seeds. The name for these little treats came to me when the head honcho at work admitted that he couldn't stop popping them into his mouth."
And you? And you, what's your favorite thing to do with pumpkin seeds? Leave a recipe or a link to a recipe in the comments!

You're invited to join Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) in a telephone conference call about health care reform legislation at 8:30 a.m. Pacific, 11:30 a.m. Eastern on Thursday, Oct. 15. The first 20 BlogHers who sign up in the comments below will be sent call-in information. More details below.
It's a big week for this controversial legislation. Five health care reform bills are moving through Congress and today the Senate Finance Committee meets to take a final vote on their version, the most conservative of the bunch according to OpenCongress.org.
Speaker Pelosi herself sent three versions of H.R. 3200 to the Congressional Budget Office for analysis last week, stating as she did that "it's very clear from our conversations with the members that the votes are there for a public option." (Source: Capitol Briefing.)
The public option has been the speaker's rallying cry since July, when she said,
"The glory days are coming to an end for the health insurance industry in our country. I have said that their profits are obscene, they have increased enormously over the past few years at the expense of America's consumers. And that's why what's in it for the consumers in our bill is that no longer will an insurance company be able to withhold insurance because you have a pre-existing medical condition. No longer can they pull back or rescind your insurance if you get more ill. No longer will you lose your health ins if you lose your job, change jobs, start a business, be self-employed. You will still have health insurance and think of what that means for the vitality of our economy, so we can encourage entrepreneurship while people have the confidence that they will have health insurance and can take more risks."

Everyone knows that love is a rainbow of many colors. Parental love, the love of friends, the love of siblings and of course the love of lovers. Two movies out right now, "The Boys Are Back" and "Bright Star" honor love's vibrant hues in very distinct ways.
"Bright Star," directed by Jane Campion and starring Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish, is about the brief, yet passionate love affair between the poet John Keats and his neighbor Fanny Brawne. Keats was talented, yet poverty stricken and though deeply in love with Fanny was unable to marry her. Fanny was a student of fashion, but once enraptured by Keats' allure, became a student of poetry as well.
The movie takes its time and like Keats' writing process, isn't to be rushed. But be warned, if you like your costume dramas with ripping bodices and rumpled bedclothes, this isn't the movie for you. This movie plays out like one of Keats' poems: leisurely, lyrical and exulting in the joy of words. The lovemaking is verbal, but no less intense.
Ben Shishaw brings a low key charm to the role of the John Keats while Abbie Cornish is fine as the enamoured Fanny.
My love has made me selfish. I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my Life seems to stop there - I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving - I should be exquisitely miserable without the hope of soon seeing you. I should be afraid to separate myself far from you. My sweet Fanny, will your heart never change? My love, will it? I have no limit now to my love.
"The Boys Are Back" is a more conventional film. It's based on the memoir by Simon Carr, who lost his wife to cancer and found himself raising two boys on his own. Clive Owen stars as Joe Warr, a British sportwriter living in Australia whose life is upended by the death of his wife, Katy. Left to raise his 5 year-old son Artie, Warr then takes custody of Harry, his bitter teenage son from a previous marriage.
But Warr isn't perfect. After all, it's revealed he left his first wife and Harry, when his then mistress, Katy got pregnant. He eventually married her and moved to Australia. After Katy's death, he not only has to deal with Harry's reappearance in his life, he has to deal with his resentment as well.
As Warr tries to build a life for himself and his boys, he eschews discipline for a laissez-faire style of parenting that would be disastrous in most families. Warr finds that out the hard way but soldiers on nonetheless.
The movie is beautifully shot and elevated by the reliable skills of Clive Owen. Owen, a man's man in action films like, "King Arthur" and "The Bourne Identity," is just as capable, and in fact excels, in smaller, more emotional films like this one. His portrayal of Warr is painfully authentic.
Which brings us back to love. A man's love for his kids. A son's love for his father. A love that means commitment to family, no matter the obstacles.
Sometimes, I come across a product that is so amazing, so innovative, so incredible that I SIMPLY MUST share it. And indeed, if you've had the misfortune to run into me at any point during the past few weeks, then you know all about it already, because I have likely accosted you, creepy infomercial lady-like, to rave about this item. Possibly while waving it all up in your face. Again, I'm . . . sorry about that. But not sorry enough to stop talking about it.
My friends, allow me to introduce you to the MiniMergency Survival Kit. My in-laws give me great, beauty-related birthday gifts every year, and this year was no exception, as they presented me with a huge box filled with fantastic products. The absolute standout, however, was this wee bag:
As the name might suggest, it contains a bunch of beauty/fashion emergency items that we've all needed at one time or another, like clear nail polish, band aids, and a sewing kit. "Okay," you're thinking, "but what's the big deal? Whither the creepy infomercial accosting?"
The deal, my friends, is the amount of useful products (sixteen. SIX!TEEN!) in relation to the SIZE of the bag (and no, I do not have GigantorHands):
When I first pulled the bag out and read the contents, I thought to myself, "there is no possible WAY all this stuff is in there."
I was wrong.
I've taken to carrying this baby with me everywhere; the size makes it perfect to simply toss in a work/diaper bag and leave it there until you need it. What's more, the price (it's just $10!) is so low that I'm thinking about getting a second one to throw in my carry-on bag for travel. I'm a sucker for well-thought-out, compact and USEFUL products (particularly if they can assist me in my elusive goal of decluttering...oh, everything), and this is my new holy grail.
