Want to save money? Check out the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
Even though full-size pickup truck sales have dipped in the recent past, they still represent a substantial part of the automotive market. Fresh from a successful redesign last year, Dodge is hoping its Ram pickup can continue to cut into the sales of the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado and help return Chrysler to profitability. To accomplish this goal, Dodge has given the Ram a crew-cab body style, a coil-spring rear suspension, a refined interior, unique storage options and more available power with an upgraded HEMI V8. The result is a smooth, quiet pickup that is easily a match for anything in its class.
If you like your trucks big and bold on the outside, but soft and luxurious on the inside, the 2010 Dodge Ram is right for you. The Ram retains its familiar "big-rig" styling, but looks even better thanks to a forward-canted grille and more chrome accents.
If fuel economy is a major concern, you won't like the Dodge Ram – or any other full-size truck, for that matter. For years, Americans have been treating pickups like cars, using them for everyday transportation, but today's higher gas prices have buyers wanting more fuel economy and putting pickups back in the hauling and work-duty categories.
The big news for 2010 is an increase in the Ram's Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) from 14,000 pounds to 15,500 when combined with the 5.7-liter engine and 3.92 rear axle. Fuel-saving advances include a fuel saver warning light on 3.7-liter models and a deceleration fuel cut off mechanism on all engines. New available features include an iPod integration package, an integrated trailer brake controller as well as folding and power operated trailer tow mirrors.
Driving Impressions When it comes to ride comfort, the 2010 Dodge Ram has an advantage over its competitors thanks to its coil-spring rear suspension. Leaf-spring suspensions tend to ride more harshly and...
can lead to bounding motions over bumps, but the Ram's coil springs calm those motions and smooth out the ride. Otherwise, the Ram drives like the big truck that it is, the steering is reasonably direct and the brakes are easy to modulate and control, but don't expect this big truck to handle, steer or stop like a sports sedan.RamBox
The RamBox storage system is offered on the Crew Cab. It includes 3.7 cubic feet of lockable, drainable storage space in each bed rail, as well as a cargo-bed divider that doubles as a bed extender. RamBox also comes with a bed-rail system with sliding, adjustable cleats to tie down and secure various types of loads.
Uconnect GPS
The Uconnect GPS system's 30-gigabyte hard drive holds song and picture files, as well as navigation map information. Songs can be ripped from a CD or downloaded from a thumb drive via a USB port. The hard drive lets you keep your whole music collection in the vehicle without toting a lot of CDs.
While the dash is mostly hard plastic, the armrests and the tops of the doors are nicely padded. Fit and finish is generally good, though a few rough areas could be better. On the road the Ram is quiet for a truck and there is plenty of front-seat room, but a telescoping steering wheel would enhance driver comfort. Rear passengers can be pinched in the Quad Cab, but the Crew Cab has lots of rear-seat room. Laramie models are upscale, with a leather-covered dash, wood trim and plenty of amenities. Available hard-drive radio, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel and rear DVD entertainment with SIRIUS Backseat TV can make the Ram cabin a pleasant place to be for long trips.
ExteriorThe 2010 Dodge Ram is a refined version of the previous-generation Rams. The Dodge cross-hair grille remains, but is tilted forward, similar to that of the Dodge Charger. Also helping to change the look are tightened panel gaps, which help reduce aerodynamic drag. A true Crew Cab replaces the short-lived Mega Cab. The Regular Cab is offered with 6-foot, 4-inch or 8-foot beds, the Quad Cab has the 6-foot, 4-inch bed and the Crew Cab has a 5-foot, 7-inch bed.
Standard safety features include side-curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and Trailer Sway Control. The base ST model features air conditioning, AM/FM/CD stereo, vinyl floors, power locks and 17-inch steel wheels. The SLT adds carpeting, cruise control, power windows, heated mirrors, remote keyless entry and aluminum wheels. The TRX gains off-road-oriented shocks and has skid plates and tow hooks when ordered with four-wheel drive. The Sport model has unique bucket seats, fog lamps and 20-inch wheels. Standard on the Laramie are dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals, leather upholstery, hard-drive radio, power heated front seats and rear park assist.
Optional features include the RamBox storage system, full-time four-wheel drive, sunroof, 10-speaker Alpine Surround Sound, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, navigation system, rear DVD entertainment with SIRIUS Backseat TV, heated and cooled seats and a heated steering wheel. The navigation system is easy to operate and voice commands can be used to program destinations while the vehicle is in motion. SIRIUS Backseat TV has three child-friendly channels that will keep the kids' attention on long vacation drives. Available trims include Sport, R/T and the Big Horn and Lone Star regional packages.
The base 3.7-liter V6 is fine if you use your truck as basic transportation, but the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is the best choice if you plan to tow or haul a lot of cargo. The HEMI was updated for 2009, giving it more power and torque. The HEMI also delivers fuel economy comparable to that of the 4.7-liter V8, and it can tow a heavier load. Dodge claims the Ram 1500 Sport Regular Cab with the HEMI and the optional R/T package is the fastest pickup in the class, with a zero-to-60-mph acceleration time under 6.0 seconds.
3.7-liter V6
215 horsepower @ 5200 rpm
235 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20
4.7-liter V8
310 horsepower @ 5650 rpm
330 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3950 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/19 (2WD, gasoline), 9/13 (2WD, E85), 13/18 (4WD, gasoline), 9/12 (4WD, E85)
5.7-liter HEMI V8
390 horsepower @ 5600 rpm
407 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20 (2WD), 13/18 (4WD)

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 67,500
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "Power, looks, comfort, towing ability, reliability"
Cons: "Fuel mileage, expensive to maintain, u-joints"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"In the 3 years and 67,000 miles I've owned this truck, it's towed a 30' camper, plowed a 1/4 mile driveway in Northern WI for two winters, and has served as my daily driver. I've only had one CEL which was for a vacuum leak which was fixed under warranty. Currently, I have a front axle U-joint going out and have to do the expensive EGR service soon. This truck has served me well and has never let me down. My only gripe is I wish the fuel mileage was a bit better...15 mpg in winter and 17 mpg in summer gets expensive at today's high diesel prices. Regarding the interior, the seats and controls have held up great with 2 kids and 2 dogs. A very reliable truck, it does everything I ask it to do (and I ask a lot) and it delivers every time. I'm confident that I will get at least 250K out of this truck. At that point, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one!"

"I have owned this truck for almost a year now. I traded my 1999 Tahoe in on it. I bought it with 36,000 miles and I now have 55,000 miles. It is the smoothest riding pickup of any I have rode in; better than my Tahoe, and I tried the F-150 and Silverado before I bought it. It has the 4.7, which I thought might be under powered, but it is not. It has more power than my Tahoes 5.7 did. I have towed a 6x12 trailer loaded with washer, dryer, fridge, stove, couches, chairs and other household items while the bed was full of a complete king size bed all the way from Wisconsin to south Carolina and had no troubles even through the mountains. It is much better on gas than the window sticker claims. On gas it gets 16 city 21 highway on E-85 it gets 13/18. We had plenty of snow and ice this winter and nothing stopped it. I hope it lasts because I have sure enjoyed it, and if it has longevity along with this initial quality I will have been turned from a chevy driver to a dodge."

"Bought a 2010 TRX (Hemi)new and have to say this truck is outstanding. The ride is very comfortable, long trips are a breeze. Design is great, interior roomy and functional. Still looks like the day I drove it off showroom, has 85K on it now, routine maintenance is all it's needed, the Hemi is exceptional, all the power you could want; hwy 20mpg, city 15, but fuel econ is not why I bought it. if you need a full size p/u this is the one for you. i highly recommend it and no I do not work for MOPAR. Hope this helps someone out down the road."

John Bishop performed stand-up comedy for the first time in October 2000, and the following year made it to the final of all the major new act competitions, including So You Think You're Funny, the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Awards, the BBC New Comedy Awards and the City Life North West Comedian of The Year Award, which he won. In 2002, he was named best newcomer by BBC Radio Merseyside, and in 2004 he won the North West Comedy Award for best stand-up. And in 2009, he was nominated for the Ediburgh Comedy Award His material is drawn from his life's experiences, from fatherhood to cycling around the world, to playing semi- professional football, to working as a nightclub doorman. |
Give It Up For Comic Relief |
Like so many things involving Russell Brand, Give It Up For Comic Relief was morally ambiguous. The evening was raising funds for drug and alcohol addiction centres, yet seemed to be a veritable advert for consumption - from Noel Fieldings tongue-in-cheek Dont Do Drugs reggae number, to Brand saying: Many people watching this at home will be out of their minds on drugs, and thats fine... Even unlikely narcotic advocate Simon Amstell, who needs little chemical help being paranoid or self-analytical,urged: If youve never had magic mushrooms, you really must. How much of the pro-drugs message made it to BBC Three screens, I dont know. But abstinence was not a popular option in Wembley Arena itself, which is odd considering the tie-in with Comic Relief. The skips full of drugs consumed by the likes of Noel Gallagher, Kasabian and Brand himself over the years are hardly likely to be Fair Trade, doing damage in the sort of Third World countries that the rest of the Comic Relief organisation works so hard to put right. But such considerations were not for tonight. Brand wants a change in attitude to drug addiction so its akin to the approach to alcohol, that its fine to indulge as long as its not a dependency. That was one message of the night, the other was that viewers should text give to 70005 and donate a fiver to treatment centres, as they watched the entertainment unfold. And there was certainly a hell of a lot of entertainment for your £5... or £50 if you brought a ticket to the gig, which ran for three-and-a-half interval-free hours. OK, its not Mark Watsons 25-hour effort of last week... but a long time to be passively viewing music and comedy. Wembleys plastic seats werent built for that. A ridiculously long running time is a hallmark of any big benefit, of course, as too is an eclectic booking policy, to maximise the appeal. There cant be much Venn diagram overlap between fans of Kasabian and fans of Rizzle Kicks, but here they are sharing a bill. The former were the musical highlight, alongside Gallaghers High Flying Birds , delivering a welcome reminder of just how impressive they can be with an awesomely epic version of Fire... which proved an entirely inappropriate introduction to Amstells low-key introspection. Other musical acts on the bill were Emeli Sande, Paloma Faith, Jake Bugg, Jessie J and Nicole Scherzinger. The former Pussycat Doll rather gave away one reason for her involvement in the show by announcing the track Domino as: This song is a positive, inspirational song. Its also my next single. Besides the clumsy plug, surely you cant tell people your own song is inspirational. Ill decide what inspires me, and generic, club-friendly, R&B/pop sung by a girl in her pants, isnt it. As host, Brand warned against such ungenerous thoughts, pointing out that all the acts were performing for free. Throughout the night, he was playful about both the cause, and his own bad-boy reputation, from flirting with the girls to borrowing a female audience members mobile to demonstrate how to text a donation and suggesting: This is the BBC and Im playing with a phone. Its already risky territory. Then turned to the woman and asked: Whats your grandfathers phone number? Later in the show Brand took a messianic walk among his followers in the audience, finding the most funny in banter with a young lad called Alfie, which he knew would never make the TV. Theyre not going to show a BBC presenter getting anywhere near a fucking kid, he said knowingly. Brand was at his best, though, when padding for time from backstage as techies were setting up for bands, ad libbing like crazy yet consistently finding the funny. His banter with pal Fielding, especially, was priceless. Fielding appeared on stage, uncredited, as hard-ass New York cop Raymond Boombox, delivering his anti-drug message, which might have been more weird than hilarious an epitaph for much of his output though it was entertaining watching people figure out who was behind the gaffer-tape tache. Hed been preceded by Jack Whitehall, who seems to be channelling a lot of Michael McIntyre with his upper-middle-class observational incredulity. After something of a slow start, he found his pace with some material about bullying, an old and obvious gag about the campaigning wristbands notwithstanding. Amstell injected a bold note of cynicism into proceedings. Reverting to his Pop World snidery, he questioned Jessie Js motives in shaving her head for Red Nose Day and even whether charity was the best way to combat the complicated problems of poverty. It was nicely contrary, but he could have used more time to expand, especially after dealing with the gear-change of following Kasabian. After his tumultuous week at the hands of The Sun, Jason Manford delivered a solid but unspectacular observational set that probably wont be remembered on such a packed night. Eddie Izzard was far more successful. Even if some of his initial flights of fancy into the topics of human sacrifices and Charles Is reign didnt quite land, his unique thought processes are always fascinating, and after padding around a while, he finally found the vein of wit, to use an entirely inappropriate metaphor. Jimmy Carr did what Jimmy Carr does, pointed if unprincipled one-liners some that hes been doing for a while, and some new accompanied by his distinctive heehaw laugh. He set a high gag-rate in the limited timeslot, and if he was setting the taste bar low, so Frankie Boyle could stomp it down through the ground. Im genuinely surprised to be here, he said, surely echoing the thoughts of many a BBC executive. And indeed, he was cut from the almost-live broadcast after being brutally offensive with every perfectly-crafted line. Criticising the hypocrisy of Comic Relief while much of the West profits from Third-World strife might have touched a nerve, but it was an harsh anti-Queen setup that provoked the greatest boos of discontent among a surprisingly monarchist crowd. A joke is just a proposition, a what if? he explained, as hes probably quite used to doing. But its the quality of the punchlines that determine whether real offence is caused, and unlike most low-aiming wannabe shock comics, his sharp writing scores on that count. Doc Brown, despite being the lowest-profile act on the bill, showed why he deserved to be there with a brief set featuring his boldly political comedy rap about poor tea-making technique, before the comedy was closed with John Bishop making reference to his own, more strenuous, fundraising efforts of last year. Despite spending most of his set doing the admin of emphasising the positive aspects of the night, it was Bishop, not Boyle, who caused the evenings biggest controversy... by dissing Man Utd, since football is far more important than who rules Britain. Still, if there was a Champions League for comedians, all of this line-up would be in it, ensuring the quality was maintained even if the viewers concentration ebbed and flowed over the long night. |

I was a contestant in the same competition back in 2001 and knew John Bishop already as he'd been a featured act at the venue a number of times previously. It made me think I had no chance of winning cos he was being unfairly championed. A few months later I went to see a friend perform at a local show and Bishop was on the bill. He spent most of the time poking fun at a member of the audience who I later found out to be me. It wasn't until he came over to apologise that I realised who he'd been referring to. Seeing his face on billboards and photoshopped DVD covers made me wonder how this guy had progressed with an act that borders on comedy. His performance on Live at the Apollo was all about him being on the show before. What a conceited man he is. Phony accent too. Pathetic Nick, November 2010 |
I saw the show at Southport theatre and was not very impressed. Twenty minutes material spread out into two plus hours. He used bad language and tried to use the audience to drag the show out a bit longer by asking questions and encouraging them to call out answers, this backfired when he received an answer he did not approve of. His Liverpool accent I thought was a little to contrived so I looked up his origin it read as Runcorn now living in Manchester. I don't think Liverpool people would class Runcorn Cheshire as being in Liverpool. Liverpool Lou, November 2010 |
Saw John Bishop in Southport on November 3, he was brilliant, a warm and witty comedian who really engaged with the audience. Unfortunately, in the second half, someone in the front row made some sort of very abusive remark relating to mothers and John found it very hard to recover himself from this, I felt really sorry for him (as I think many of the audience did) and he kept apologising to this guy . It slightly took the edge off for him but he is a great performer and was very popular and well liked by the audience. Marie, November 2010 |
Ken and Riera obviously are cuckoo John Bishop is the best thing for a long time. If John Bishop was so rubbish why oh why has he sold out everywhere ? John Bishop is brilliant! Natalie, October 2010 |
He is crap: 'Men don't like texting, do they', and so on arthur seaton, June 2010 |
Was him in Norwich very funny. My daughter has not stop laughing since James, April 2010 |
I forgot to say that in the Cardiff gig (and all his gigs i presume), he talked about television appearances. He explained he didnt like watching himself on tv but did so to see what of his material had been shown, so he could then remove it from his shows. True to his word, every part of the show was fresh to me and i have seen most of his tv appearances. James, April 2010 |
Saw John in Cardiff few weeks ago. He was better than i was expecting, and i was already a fan. He was witty, funny and very warm. The gig in question was a re-scheduled date from a january gig which he cancelled. There were only about 200 of us crammed into the bar, very intimate. He apologised for cancelling on us in january and put on a free bar during the interval! Can't argue with that! James, April 2010 |

The Obama administration and its supporters are also trying to exert leverage and build public support for the sweeping proposals.
Besides Biden's appearance on Thursday at a Danbury gun violence conference, he sat down for a Facebook town hall with Parents Magazine earlier this week.
The advocacy group put together by President Barack Obama's former campaign aides, Organizing for Action, sent an e-mail to supporters saying "we need to demand" votes in Congress on these measures and asked them to send their personal stories about gun violence and how to reduce it.
The administration and its backers know overcoming the power and the influence of the NRA will be very difficult - but will also be instrumental if they are going succeed.
The NRA has been successful in the past in thwarting gun control legislation by building support at the grass roots level, and that is where the group is focusing much of its efforts right now.
The NRA has seen its membership rise to record levels as the gun control debate has raged since the Newtown school massacre in December. Group officials man booths at gun shows to not only build membership but to urge attendees to lobby against the proposals.
Besides new print ads, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam told CNN the organization is tripling the buy of a web video run on various news sites. Last week CNN was the first to report the group bought $100,000 worth of ad time to air the video on various news web sites in Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Colorado, South Dakota, and the District of Columbia, Arulanandam said.
Each of the five states has a Democratic senator seeking re-election in 2014.
To help get its message out the NRA is also airing online ads in 15 states (Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia) - many of which will see competitive Senate races next year.
The Hill newspaper first reported the new print ad campaign.

Walt Disney Imagineers Talk The Refurbishment of Country Bear Jamboree at Magic Kingdom
Country Bear Jamboree recently underwent a refresh that included some behind-the-scenes reengineering, changes to the theater, and more.
In this video, shared by Walt Disney Imagineering, Imagineers Lauren Murphy, Pete Carsillo and Kareem Patterson, walk you through what you can expect next time you head for a growling good time at Grizzly Hall.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Re: Walt Disney Imagineers Talk The Refurbishment of Country Bear Jamboree at Magic Kingdom
Can't watch the video at work but we were there the day it reopened and I noticed some small changes to the actual show. They have cut some lines of dialogue (most notably from Buff, Max and Melvin...the "stuffed" heads) and shortened a couple of the songs. I was a little disappointed in that.

Outfit #64: Goodnight, and Good Luck!
Dress: Thrifted // Jacket: Thrifted // Belt: Forever21 // Shoes c/o Naughty Monkey
Don't mind the title! I've always had a flair for melodrama...
This blog entry is to let you know that for the next six weeks I am going to be very, VERY quiet. I will be running away to follow my dreams and embark on the most epic project of my life - a project that is going to change the course of my career and is literally fulfilling everything I have ever wanted. I am so, so excited, and I will return to all of you in July - and then I will be able to talk about this super secret project!
Thank you so much for all the support you've all offered over the years. I love you all. See you on the other side!

Outfit #63: Minty Fresh
Polka Dot Dress: H&M // White Faux Leather Vest: Forever 21 (Gift from Dan's mom. Thanks Jenny!) // Mint Platforms: Forever 21 // Spiked Headband: eBay // Spiked Bracelet: Halloween Supply Store haha // Unicorn Necklace c/o // Mint Geometric Earrings c/o Perfectly Cloudy
Haha, well, I'm apparently still just as bad at updating even though the weather has cheered up. Bad Molly, bad! This post has been sitting in my queue for at least a week - oooops! I am a bad blogger. Everyone scold me! Wait, negative reinforcement doesn't work. Ummm, shower me with praise and tell me how you can't live without the Geeky Peacock and how you DESPERATELY NEED content from me DAILY? Yeah, that one. Do that.
I've actually been taking it easy for the last week or so. I'm waiting on some potentially life changing news this week, so I've been sitting back and smelling the flowers - literally. Until they try to have sex in my nasal cavities and I start to die of an allergy attack but STILL.
Fun fact (in reference to the mint theme I have going on in this outfit): In highschool I was nicknamed Mint. It was a nickname of my own design - I desperately wanted to be an anime character so I gave myself that name. It was a mix between the character Mint from the Playstation RPG "Threads of Fate" (who else remembers that game?) and the fact that I consumed a tin of Altoids every two days. Yeah, my breath was super epic all the time. Except no boys wanted to kiss the real girl - waaah! Don't worry: my Legolas cardboard cut out reaped the benefits. Anyway, everyone thought I was named Mint for a long time! I want to punch teenage Molly in the face.
I'm going to start working on my Steampunk Wonder Woman re-design for SDCC tonight! You guys thought it was good last year? JUST YOU WAIT FOR THIS YEAR. My new friend Chelsea designed it for me and it has a DUSTER. A DUSTERRRRR. I'm probably going to be boiling in San Diego heat but DOESN'T MATTER HAD COSPLAY.
Other SDCC cosplay I need to get my ass in gear on: Polaris from X-men and I need to finish my Super Villain Cruella Deville. I'm trying to decide if I should go for a fourth or not! Anyone have any cosplay suggestions/requests?
Oh, and this is a remix outfit post! I wore this polka dot dress in my last post, too. Yay versatile clothing pieces!

Outfit #62: Just Kickin' It
Dress: H&M // Blazer: Thrifted // Shoes: Ross // Hat: Stolen from my friend Becki // Necklace c/o Scarlett Garnet
This outfit has been sitting in my queue for a few days but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to post it, ahhh! I got this dress a few weeks ago at a second hand shop and I've found many, MANY different ways to style it. I'll be posting a few warddrobe remixes of it in the very near future.
My point: Every girl needs a polka dotted dress.
The necklace I'm wearing is a bullet casing with REAL HORSE HAIR IN IT. If anyone knows me at all, you know how much of a horse fanatic I am, so I'm pretty obsessed with it. Poooonies.
Blog post brought to you by the fact that I've just been listening to 90s rap all morning. So much Notorious B.I.G.
I have a few links to share with you guys!
- I wrote an article about how cosplay saved my life... or at least my sanity.
- Over at OneUpMakeup my daily makeup routine Tutorial has been posted! Check it out to see how to get my signature smokey eye!
- I was interviewed over at Elite Cosplay!
See you after the weekend, unicorns!

Outfit #60: Bunny Tea Time
Dress c/o eShakhti // Leather Jacket: Love Culture // Boots: Litas by Jeffrey Campbell // Hat: H&M // Donut Earrings c/o Zoozim // Teapot Necklace c/o Color Me Kawaii
Ahhh unicorns, these last few days have been ALL over the place for me. I had some business to attend to out of town so I've been popping around on planes for the last few days. I've had very little sleep and there's craters under my eyes but I wanted to get this blog post up before I go take an epic nap!
This entire outfit just delights me to no end. I didn't even mean to, but I ended up making a whimsical, springtime "tea time" theme!
First of all: THE DRESS. I was contacted by this wonderful website called EShakhti. They wanted to see if I would review one of their dresses. A new frock? Of course I agreed! But it wasn't until I began to peruse their website that I found the true awesomeness of this company: THEY MAKE ALL OF THE DRESSES FOR YOUR MEASUREMENTS. What?! As a tall girl with HUGE hips and a tiny waist, this seemed like some sort of godsend to me. SO, after I fell head over heels with this bunny dress (IT'S BUNNIES!!!!), I entered my measurements and customized the length before finally placing my order.
The quality of this dress is amazing. It arrived VERY quickly, it's perfectly tailored to my body, the fabric is high quality and the stitching is incredible. I'm very, very impressed and having a dress tailored to my measurements just made me feel like a rockstar. I REALLY suggest you check it out if - like me - you have "non traditional" body proportions.
And now let's move onto the jewelry. I've been a long time coming making an outfit post with these adorable donut earrings and cute little teapot necklace, but I've worn them a ton and received MANY compliments. I think that tiny food ANYTHING is so cute, so I'm dying over my cute little "tea time" accessories. Both shops have lots of kitschy, kawaii accessories so you should probably go check them out.
Anyway, I'm off to nap for the next ten years. Bye!

PARIS (JTA) -TheSoviet Union has somewhat changed its Mideast policy and seems to be steering a more moderate course in its relations with Israel, according to French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas. French correspondents in Helsinki where Dumas met last week for close to three hours with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze report that the French delegation sees a definite change in Moscow's policy in . the area. ' Dumas himself said in a radio interview that he felt a change in Soviet policy has taken place since the new leadership took over. Dumas, specifically mentioned the Middle East as one of the areas in which this change was tangible. The meeting took place to lay the initial groundwork for Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's scheduled visit to France in October^ French officials said Dumas and Shevardnad2e**dfff*W negotiate but prepared the visit. Nonetheless, these officials have said, they felt a change in the Soviet line which appears less rigorous than in the past. Israeli sources confirmed last week that a top-ranking Israeli diplomat last month paid a "private" visit to the Soviet Union. The sources said Yosef Amihud, minister in charge of information at the Israeli Embassy in Paris, obtained a visa and visited the Soviet Union as a member of a group of for- . eign diplomats. The visit was organized by the French "Diplomat Academy," a private association of foreign diplomats and foreign correspondents based in France. Israel decided to try and include Amihud in the group so as to test Soviet willing- ' ness to grant visas to Israeli' diplomats. Amihud told £he Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he obtained a visa and that his Soviet hosts "obviously knew who I was and what my nationality and my posts are." He said he was not discriminated against and managed to visit the synag6gue and meet local Jewish activists. Dumas has assured Israeli Ambassador Ovadio Soffer Simon Wiesenthal Center Receives Matching State Funds To Build 'Museum Of Tolerance' NEW YORK (JTA)-The State of California will provide the Simon Wiesenthal Center with some $5 million in state matching funds to aid in construction of a "museum of tolerance" on the grounds of the Yeshiva University in Los Angeles. Governor George Deuk- mejian signed Senate Bill , 337, which provides the state funds, last week following approval July 18 by both the State Senate and Assembly. Deukmejian, according to - his chief of staff, Steven Merksermer, supported the funding because he felt sympathy for the suffering of the victims of the Holocaust and other tragedies. The proposed funding for the museum triggered considerable discord within the Jewish community of California with the state offices of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the American Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee, among others, voicing strong opposition to the legislation. Construction of the museum is expected to begin in early 1986. The total campaign for the museum is $35- million, according to Center officials. The Center has raised some $12 million from the private sector and along with the $5 million from the state leaves the Center some $3 million short of the $20 million .needed for the "bricks and mortar" aspects of the museum's construction. A campaign to raise a $15 million endowment for the museum operations will soon begin, Center officials said. Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Wiesenthal Center, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a telephone interview that the museunj "will seek to explore the origins of hate and prejudice by utilizing the Holocaust as the watershed event of the 20th century.!' Construction, he said, is expected to take one year. It will be designed by Karl Katz,. chief designer and planner for the Museum of the Diaspora at TeJAviy University. Hier said the museum will be what he described as "an (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) To ADL Regional Board At their recent Annual Meeting, the Ohio-Kentucky- Indiana Regional Advisory Board of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith appointed Rabbi Sanford D.

Former Soviet P0C Gets Visa To Israel NEW YORK (JTA)■ — Former Soviet Jewish Prisoner of Conscience Isaak Shkolnik, who served seven years in the Soviet Gulag on alleged charges of "treason" and "anti- Soviet agitation," was granted permission to emigrate to Israel, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry reported last week. Shkolnik, who first applied for an exit visa in 1972,'is the first former prisoner to be permitted to emigrate from the Soviet Union in nearly 10 years. His arrival in Israel, slated for mid-August, will reunite him with his wife, Feiga, and his daughter, Aliza, whom he has not seen since their departure from the USSR in 1973. New U.S. Envoy Arrives In Israel TEL AVIV (JTA)—Thomas Pickering, the veteran Ameri- ' can diplomat, arrived here last week to take over as the new U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

Upon his arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, he told reporters that his main task "will be to continue to work for cooperation between Israel and the United States, particularly in the peace process." He also said his new posk« tion "is one of the most important diplomatic-posts for a U.S> Ambassador because of the excellent diplomatic relations between Israel and the United States..

Jigger, Please

People who travel to Mexico order a lot of pina coladas, which in case you were wondering, have hardly any alcohol and about 12,000 calories. I mean, we're talking cream, coconut milk, pineapple juice...not nearly enough rum.
That said, if you like pina coladas, you'll love the Miami Vice, it's 1/2 colada and 1/2 strawberry daquiri! Mmmm...fruity and fattening and delicious. - 10:40 AM

That's why I think I like them so much. I've had the Miami Vice!!! It's really good. I think I like fruity, sweet, syrupy, frozen girl drinks mostly.
When I was in Mexico I had margaritas (not frozen) with chopped up strawberries. That was really good. And we had sangrita which was like a spicy bloody maryish thing. Ok, but not as good as the margaritas. - 10:49 AM

The only reason I know what a jigger is is because of my trusty Boat Drinks book. http://powerboat.about.com/od/boatinglife/gr/1.htm
Which I've read through but never used. Go figure. - 12:55 PM
- Emily said...
Ha well I'm glad you spoke up so you all didn't just leave the clown car assuming had become bigoted toward "jiggers."
- Lauren said...
Hilarious!!!! Especially love the title of the post :-)
I used to work at a coffee shop and we used a jigger for the sugary syrups we used to flavor the coffee drinks! - 2:24 PM
OMG hysterical! I have also never been drunk...BUT I knew what a Jigger was.
Try Kahlua and Cream sometime, it taste yummy. Its pretty much all I drink cuz I don't like alcohol very much. But you have to like the taste of coffee, it has a coffee flavor to it. - 3:43 PM
- Amber said...
So why does your sister think using a jigger is so bad?? Is it b/c a good bartender should be able to eyeball the correct amount and requiring the measuring cup means that her bosses don't trust her?
- Last Minute Lyn said...
Oh that was funny
I know what a jigger is. Worse I once worked at a bar that had these computerized shot thingies. After we had been pouring freehand they put those in and my tips went down to practically nil. Guess I'm a heavy handed pourer...but my customers loved me. - 6:13 PM
- Fancy Schmancy said...
That is funny as Jigger heck! You totally crack me the Jigger up. Let's get Jiggy with it. I'll stop, now. But it is still really funny. Thanks.
Hey, I NEVER listen to rap music and I thought exactly the same thing. Very funny! Thank heaven you said something.
- Beverly said...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA seriously that's about the funniest thing i've seen in a while. i bartended for several years and i too hated using jiggers. they're a pain in the ass.
also - if you like pina colada, try a malibu (or parrot bay) and pineapple juice. i rarely drink anymore but when i do, i try to make sure it's w/ juice so it counteracts the dehydrating effects of the alcohol. i cannot stand the taste of booze most of the time but i do like those.
there was a drag bar i went to for a while when i was bartending (was the only place open on sunday nights that had decent music) and they had a drink the bartenders called the "miss celie's blue" - it was frickin fantastic. it had blue curacao, vodka, sweet and sour, a splash of 7 up and something else but i've forgotten what. maybe rum but i don't think so. it was gooooood. - 9:26 PM
- staticwarp said...
i seriously didnt think anyone didnt know what a jigger is. dont they teach that in school anymore?
and could someone please explain to me what an african-american is? how can you be a citizen of two countries at once?
this is kind of funny, but at the same time it is disturbing to me that people go up in arms just because something kind of sounds like an epithet. remember the congressman who used this word? homeboy had to resign! and the word has nothing to do with race! come on folks. lets grow up and grow some thicker skins here. - 10:52 PM
- Steph said...
Being a former bartender, I have to agree with your sister- using a jigger sucks. I once quit a job because of it. They just slow you down, especially if you're in a busy club trying to do 10 million things at once..
Just an FYI.
Hilarious post! - 11:33 PM
I couldn't stop giggling from the
first jigger. Like you, I don't drink (except once, 2l shots of tequila at 24 years of age) Then
we bought a bar, and I went right into bartending l0l. No idea between cc and coke, or Johnny
Walker - imagine red or black.
ooops- don't want to get back into the jiggers of it all. But I will
say, I do understand your sis.
After ll years, I believe she
freepours to the ounce.
She'll find a place she likes.
Our bar was called BJ Cuddles, seated 450, and had Sting sitting
there strumming on guitar, just
dropping in - magical.
A Pina Colada, even
back then was not ordered as much
as the orgasms, blowjobs, etc.
and I have no idea what shooters
are called today. Go to work with your sis for even a day. Bartending is one tough job.
No wonder she was so upset, but
the story is great though. truly. madly.deeply. hilarious.

That was hilarious! I loved it. But this whole never been drunk thing? I'm not advocating alcoholism or anything, but I've just taken a vow to try to act more like I do when I'm drunk. (Apparantly, I love life way more.) Go grab a jigger and get your drunk on, girl!
- the Bag Lady said...
This totally cracked me up! At least you weren't pissed off at her, thinking she was talking trash about a little dancing Irishman....
I can't believe none of you knew what a jigger was....young folks these days...tsk tsk *shaking old grey head* - 12:16 AM
- JoeinVegas said...
Stick with the Pina Colada if you like it - we do a lot of margaritas out West, some bars have dozens of flavors.
But leave the jiggers to those who know, I vote with Fancy and suggest we all get Jiggy with it. - 12:27 AM
- Hilary said...
I'm with Baggie.. old and Canadian.. and I use a jigger all the time lest I make them too strong. I'd have loved to have seen the looks on your faces as you all misunderstood your sis, though. :)
- Boomer said...
Hah! That's one of those good old stories that'll never get old. You and your sister will be cracking each other up over it 20 years from now.
- Missicat said...
That is hysterical!!! I have friends who are bartenders and apparently using jiggers is a pain.
Just think, from now on all one of you has to do is say the word "jigger" and you all will crack up.... - 12:27 PM
Knowing full well what a jigger was, I read your story with a "so?" attitude. I was waiting for your sister to rant about how she could full well measure a shot of booze after her years of experience. I waited for an appropriate denouement. Alas, it didn't come.
But your misinterpretation was funny. - 1:20 PM
- Slick said...
Don't feel bad....I had no idea what it was either!
- Aarwenn said...
I'm with your sister--a free pour is where it's at! Jiggers take forever! And they make you look like an amateur, even if you're not. Boo on jiggers.
Also, I agree with everyone who wondered what they're teaching the kids these days. :) It's a jigger! It's not a mispronunciation of a terrible word! It's just a metal cup! - 2:47 PM
...I like my jigger. I actually own one, it lives in my drawer with my other measuring devices. Why doesn't your sister want to use a jigger?
- misha said...
wow - my 60 yr old, slightly drunky, cuban mom knew what one was.
