Quick Tip: Decorate With Necessities
Sometimes it can feel as though the extra touches we add to our spaces are really just... well... things. For example, those balls made from grapevine or covered in feathers or jute. They're really just taking up valuable space in most cases...
Why not try decorating with things you'll actually need later on? In this case it's soap! It's might seem easiest to accomplish in the bathroom, an area where we need multiples of things (cotton swabs, cotton balls) but think about other places, such as a home office with a cup full of freshly sharpened pencils or a jar of pink pearl erasers!

I agree with decorating with things we already use. Jute balls, figurines and such just means more things to dust and if you're not careful, clutter. I love this glass jar idea, especially with the old school looking soap.
That soap in the jar is super cute! I do the same with cotton balls and office supplies. Much more useful than other clutter!
I really love how that jar looks. Love the old time design on the soap too.
Everything just seems to look better in an old glass jar. I put buttons in mine. Also desk supplies like paperclips, rubber bands, etc.
I put all my necessities in glass jars. Everything looks fancy when displayed right! Vintage glassware also makes mundane necessities look important. Pencils, buttons, beads, and teas look especially nice!
I just wonder how many pink pearl erasers I can use in a lifetime.... which would make all the extra ones.... well .... the equivalent of the aforementioned "things", don't you think?
Pencils are another thing, abd in the bathroom I have one jar with exfoliating pads and one with body scrub. Looks nice and will actually be used SOON, because all the things I don't use (in THIS life) are just dust collectors.
I like having my kitchen appliances (and I have many) out where I can see them.
Dishes and books!
Cotton balls!
Books, pencils, corks, office supplies, etc. I love glass jars, too. I started making some white paper roses out of coffee filters last night and I'm going to arrange them in a collection of empty Red Stripe bottles to put on a bookshelf. Not really a "functional" collection but I'm hoping it will look cute! And I also leave my cleaning supplies out in a nice arrangement in the laundry room because they're just too darned pretty to keep inside a cabinet!
Where did that old-timey Ivory soap come from???
Bottles of liquor, but probably not bongs (unless you're an undergrad)
I love this. I shop around for products with elegant packaging- like the Bath & Body Works lotion pictured above (though they don't sell the glass bottles anymore, drat), and toiletries by Boots (sold at Target). If you have to have something out, it might as well look nice!
I keep miniature bottles of shampoo and body lotion in chemistry-style glassware.
We keep tea lights and plain white match boxes in ours. Great idea. Keeps it fresh but functional. Love the vintage soap wrappers too!
Love the look. Very Cute and Tidy. I literally just bought a bunch of these EXACT jars from target, $7.99. YES!
I keep the cat and dog food in these jars on top of the fridge.
I have a wooden bowl full of my daughter's dinosaur collection on my dining room tabletop. We switch them out with the kids' rock collection and sometimes my son's many (many) matchbox cars. It's fun for them and makes a great conversation item when we have guests. (And the inevitable Firefly "This is a good land" re-enactment. We're exposing our children to the best of nerd-dom.)

Why would he do it when he can possibly be more effective making movies that carry a strong message to a broader audience? It's been said a thousand times but he's on the road to being another Sydney Pollack. There's no reason for him not to continue doing that.

As an aside, I wish Sydney Pollack had lived long enough to have seen Argo and given Ben notes.

but ted kennedy's son is seriously considering running, and there ain't no way that anyone could win against a kennedy in mass. doesn't matter which one. the kennedy family dog could practically win a political race in mass.

and, why would ba run for senate now that his career is white hot again? he can always do that later.

Innocent's new #tweetandeat campaign gets people working, or rather tweeting, together to bring the price down on one of their veg pots. If enough (how many I wonder?) people tweet, then eventually the price can reduce to zero.
I've often seen this executed badly - I don't see the point in tweeting with a hashtag just to be in the chance of winning something, but this campaign pools everyone's individual efforts together and everyone is rewarded for participating. As they say, "Collective buying power is where its at".
Culture Hack Day - 15/16 Jan 2011 from Culture Hack Day on Vimeo.
Culture Hack Day #chd11 was an immense, challenging and innovative project to work on. It brought together key cultural organisations (including Crafts Council, UK Film Council, Culture Grid, National Maritime Museum, BBC Archive + more) and some wonderful developers who all gave their time for free. The challenge was to come up with new innovative ideas using open data from the culture sector. Its production was driven by Royal Opera House, with support from Wieden + Kennedy London, Google, Arts Council England & Creative Industries Knowledge Transfer Network.
Alongside the developers furiously hacking away over the weekend, we ran a series of talks, sparked off from the title "What if?" around open data. They can be viewed here - with some inspiring provocations from people such as Leila Johnston, who edits the Hackers! newspaper, Chris Thorpe from ArtFinder, Tom Armitage who works at BERG and Clare Reddington from iShed.
You can see a full list of the hacks that were developed here - a few highlights were When Should I Visit? by Dan W highlighting when the *least* busiest times for museums are; a Museum of Minecraft bringing digital archives into the online gaming world; mobile iterations of data searching making them more accesible to the general public including Stef's Culture Grid apps; more whimsical haiku generators including Haiku Guardian & BBC Haiku Player; plus Pepys' Shows by Matthew Somerville and Clare Lovell bringing Samuel Pepys' pithy reviews of theatre to the masses.
The socialisation of brands: An in-depth study into brand use of social media, by Universal McCann. Created with data from 53 markets and 37,600 respondents (as opposed to 38 markets and 23,200 respondents in Wave 4), Wave claims to be the "largest and longest running" social media analysis in the world.
They have developed a recommended "road map" which gives guidance on developing social media implementation - in just 4 easy steps. These detail: understand the why and how, map the landscape, identify the social needs of the consumer, identify the platforms.
I'd argue that's a little simplistic, and bringing everything back down to "platforms" means that you are only looking at what's out there at any one time. Rather, I feel that social strategy should be integrated and the focus should be on conversation and content, looking at the long term. The platforms will evolve and change - and this shouldn't mean that you'll be throwing your strategy out the window, merely refreshing it.
There is some interesting work around "means and motivations" which gives good insight into the shift in internet use and some very clear statistics on consumer usage of the social web. They then layer the "social demand for brands" over these motivations and look the spread of brand communities online.

Find a Mini car hidden somewhere (virtually) in Stockholm, keep away from pesky people trying to "steal" it from you and it's yours at the end of the week! Gamification that does seem to work - I think it's the running around bit I like, it linking back to the streets of the city. The fact that you can win an actual car helps incentivise too!

Lego creates an online community - Lego Click - with this lovely animation. The website is fun and stylised into a lego world, though I'm perhaps unsure how the viewer contributes at the moment - maybe this is coming. Content interlinks between twitter, facebook and iphone app.
Scanning through my pages of notes from yesterday's Monitoring Social Media Conference, I know that the conference producers did something right. Highlights for me were:
Katy Howell from Immediate Future who captivated the audience, referencing Greggs the baker and Compare the Meerket campaigns. She was very clear with her recommendations about reclaming accounts and making sure you define which social media sites are official/unofficial.
Celia Pronto from STA travel gave a case study on their integration of social media and UCG into their website STATravelBuzz which offers anyone who's booked with STA a "starter guide" to social media and gets them creating their own content which is then aggregated to the website. Another great tool - they match up people with questions with people with the info - therefore becoming the go-between rather than the company with all the answers.
Giles Palmer from Brandwatch was a energised Duracell bunny in the mid-afternoon slot, sporting a Movember tache, he talked through the definitive processes of what we were all there to hear about - "monitoring" social media. His steps were: Gather (crawl or buy in), Search (rank by relevance, create streams), Analyse (inbound links / author tags), Check sentiment. His recommendation for measurement of sentiment was, put very simply - small volumes: crowdsource; large volumes: use bots.
Sentiment seemed to be a key word coming up around analysis and Marshall Sponder went into more detail about this (he stepped in last minute, so his presentation was even more impressive). Now things ramped up toa techy pace that everyone appreciated. He quoted the Forrester Wave report and confirmed what other speakers had been saying - a stat is not an insight, you need to drill down into the stat to get the insight. He stated that there are currently no standards on sentiment - positive, neutral and negative and the only company managing sentiment properly is Crimson Hexagon. He argued that in "most social media platforms are not capable of advanced semantics analysis or meme clustering".
@jennielees was liveblogging from the event and wrote an some an excellent summary post of the event, which I can't even try to better.

There is no compelling reason to do a story about Glyn Johns at this moment. The greatest producer in the history of rock and roll, the man whose name is in your home if you own any of the most important and influential and merely famous music made in the 1960s and 1970s, has nothing to sell at this very moment, save for the CD reissues that bear his name in small type. In fact, Johns has not been behind the boards with any regularity since the mid-1990s, and even then his output was sketchy and sporadic--a Belly album here, a Joe Satriani disc there, that's about it.
Even if he did have something to sell, Johns would not talk about it to the press. He does not do interviews and hasn't since the early '90s. He has made himself especially difficult to find, splitting his time between his native England and the south of France. His friends know how to reach him, but he keeps all other comers at bay. Through his manager, he declined to be interviewed for this story. "Glyn's just not interested," was the reply, "and won't be."
But now is just as good a time as any to ponder and praise Glyn Johns, before the history books further shove him to the margins and off their pages altogether. Already he's in danger of being forgotten--which is amazing, astounding, fookin' appalling, considering he practically invented the sound of classic-rock radio and is the only man who can say he recorded the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, The Who and Led Zeppelin (and the Faces, the Eagles, Joan Armatrading, Traffic, John Hiatt, Eric Clapton, Steve Miller Band, the Clash and too many others to list without turning this story into a record store's inventory). It is nothing short of inexcusable that when Capitol Records recently released Let it Be...Naked, the stripped-down version of the Beatles' adios, it did not use any of Johns' original mixes and suggested track listings, discs of which are considered legend among Fab fetishists who've collected the bootlegs for decades.
Johns, whose son Ethan has become the favorite producer of Ryan Adams and the Jayhawks and other alt-country beloveds, merits a few index entries in rock histories and band bios; Rolling Stones histories, especially, rank him as a major-minor player, considering he was the first to record the band and had them stolen out from under him by Andrew Loog Oldham, who would go on to manage them. But he is conspicuously absent in books about those who spent their careers on the other side of the studio glass. There are many how-tos and tell-alls from rock producers, but none that give him more than passing mention, even though entire chapters are devoted to his lesser-known acolytes. He deserves his own book but can't get his own paragraph.
"You know why he's never done his own book?" explains his old pal Ian McLagan, keyboardist for the Small Faces and Faces. "He doesn't remember anything. I had a book coming out [All the Rage] and called him about a couple of details, and he said, 'No idea, mate.' He said, 'All the sessions have blended into one, so I don't remember what was a Stones session or a Beatles session. It's all faces--this, that and the other.' Of course, he was probably exaggerating, but it is quite funny."
Even the Internet is woefully short on information about Johns: The All Music Guide reveals only that he was born in February 1942 in Epsom, England; that he was a performer for a while, recording for the legendary Pye label; that he apprenticed in the mid-'60s under Who producer Shel Talmy; and that he produced such albums as Steve Miller's Sailor in 1968 ("his first big break," says the Web site), Who's Nextand Sticky Fingersand Desperado. And do not look for a photo of Johns on the Web: There is only one, a terribly small and grainy snapshot likely taken in the '70s featuring Johns hiding behind a beard. He appears briefly in the 1999 Classic Albums Series documentary on the making of Who's Next, but he doesn't look as intimidating and formidable a man as legend has it. Sitting behind a mixing board, peeling back the layers of "Baba O'Riley" to isolate Pete Townshend's guitar or John Entwistle's bass, he looks almost delicate.
"They all come hurtling in like a herd of buffalo," he says, as the piano intro gives way to Keith Moon's machine-gun drums and the rest of the band. "Brilliant."
There is no way to define quite what makes a Johns recording so special; after all, he did not write the songs, he did not sing them, he did not play guitar on any of them.

(Updates with comment from analyst in fourth paragraph.)
Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Elpida Memory Inc. advanced to a two-week high in Tokyo trading after the world's third-largest memory chipmaker said it may shift some domestic production to Taiwan to deal with a strong yen and an industry slump.
Elpida gained 5.8 percent to 568 yen as of the 11 a.m. trading break on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the highest intraday level since Aug. 30. The benchmark Topix index added 1.3 percent.
The maker of memory used in personal computers is studying the feasibility of transferring some production at its Hiroshima plant to a more cost-efficient factory operated by subsidiary Rexchip Electronics Corp. in Taiwan, according to a statement by the Tokyo-based company today. Elpida is among chipmakers facing weakening demand for dynamic random access memory chips, or DRAM, as sales of personal computers slow.
"It's hard for them to keep making DRAM products at the moment because of costs," Seo Won Seok, a Seoul-based analyst at NH Investment & Securities Co. said by telephone. "Since they don't have economy of scale, they seem to be trying to boost efficiency by shifting to Taiwan."
In response to "an extremely harsh business environment" caused by the appreciation of the yen and a drop in chip prices, Elpida will also try to accelerate reducing the circuitry of its chips to 30 nanometers from 40 nanometers to cut production costs, while expanding procurement in U.S. dollars to minimize currency-related risks, the company said.
DRAM Prices
Prices for dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips that are used in PCs to help run multiple programs simultaneously have dropped as PC sales slowed.
The price of the benchmark DDR3 2-gigabit DRAM has slumped more than 70 percent over the past 12 months, according to data from Taipei-based Dramexchange Technology Inc., operator of Asia's largest spot market for semiconductors.
Nanya Technology Corp. cut DRAM production because of a supply glut, Pai Pei-lin, a spokesman for the Taiwanese chipmaker said yesterday.
Inotera Memories Inc. also lowered DRAM output, President Charles Kau said yesterday.
Output reductions may help chip prices rebound as early as from the end of this month, Lee Ka Keun, a Seoul-based analyst at Hana Daetoo Securities Co. said in a Sept. 14 report.

It sounds, on the face of it, like a logistical nightmare. Hundreds of lawyers from dozens of practice groups spread across umpteen jurisdictions - and all needing training tailored to their age and experience.
The difficulties of integrating different cultures into a global law firm are immense. Yet, as Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer partner Hugh Crisp remarks, therein lies the very value of a good training programme. "We mix it up across practice areas and across countries," says Crisp. "The whole point is that people can network."
Indeed, for Freshfields, Clifford Chance and Linklaters & Alliance, which have all merged with substantial German practices in the last few years, creating a training system that is not overtly skewed towards London has been a major task. Given the manner in which the German education system works (lawyers do not even enter private practice until their late 20s at the latest), no international law firm worth its salt can rely on London-centric assumptions.
For this reason, as well as for the usual reason of competitive advantage, training - once merely a subset of human resources departments - is now assuming strategic importance. At Freshfields, Crisp is the managing partner responsible for people and service development and is on the six-strong central management team. At Allen & Overy, banking guru Philip Wood is now head of know-how and education. Meanwhile, at Clifford Chance and Linklaters, the training functions come under the remit of highly influential non-fee-earners Tony King and Geoff May.
On the technical side, as one would expect, partners have a high input into firms' training programmes. As Wood has remarked (The Lawyer, 20 August): "To train the best, only the best should train. All partners and senior associates should be involved in training our lawyers."
|"The days are gone when we used to sprinkle fairy dust over everybody and they had the skills automatically"
Hugh Crisp, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
All firms agree that training courses in international legal disciplines have to be entirely practical. "It's no good people standing up and saying, 'The law in our country is '," says Crisp, citing two particular examples where technical training is married to a clear understanding of the market in which lawyers have to operate. "Private equity is a group which now has its training done internationally," he says. "We took 50 to 60 junior lawyers at two years qualification and their equivalents [from other jurisdictions] and went to Berlin for two days, and had a venture capitalist actually come along and talk to us. And training in the international tax group is also run completely internationally, and partly taught offsite at the University of Leiden, near Amsterdam."
On the non-legal side, training in the global firms also follows broadly similar patterns. For instance, Linklaters offers several skill-based courses at different points in assistant solicitors' careers. Linklaters associate director of training and development Ann Marie Cooper says: "We have something like 800 training days a year, including skills and management and technical training."
At Freshfields, the setup is along the same lines. Around 25 newly-qualified solicitors at a time go on a two-day residential course, taught mainly by external consultants. At three years post-qualification, there is another course, again lasting two to three days, which focuses on project management, delegation skills and business skills. Between 15 and 20 lawyers attend. "There's no lecturing in this one," says Crisp. "There are four or five teams with one laptop per team and they're receiving information in realtime, and they have to work together [on that project]."
Freshfields also provides another course for more senior associates, and then another one for partners. ("The days are gone when we used to sprinkle fairy dust over everybody and they had the skills automatically," notes Crisp dryly.)
So what of e-learning? Wood's Opinion piece in The Lawyer (20 August) was trenchant. "Frankly, some e-learning is Mickey Mouse," he wrote. "It needs to be used in a different way. We need to develop this in-house to produce a five-star product. I believe we'll want to concentrate on our transactions and the way we organise them consistently in all our offices. The message and the medium, the content and the electronic delivery, are interlocked. Content is useless without an efficient means of delivering it. Delivery is useless without something worthwhile to deliver."
Professionals in training echo this caution, but are nevertheless enthusiastic at the potential of online education. "It's accessible and available 24 hours on screen anywhere in the world," says Cooper at Linklaters. "But it's got to force people to think by being interactive.
"I don't believe it will ever replace face-to-face training. You miss out on things like sharing values and people learning together. But it has a highly important part to play - it works in combination. I think there should be a balance."
|Germany - in at the deep end
| Not starting work until you are 30 has its advantages. Spending your 20s as a student prolongs the joy of academia and irresponsibility, but German law students at major firms have some catching up to do when they arrive at their firms on the first day.
Seeing as most of the top firms will expect a doctorate and/or an LLM on top of the long period of study (five to six years on average), graduates arrive highly qualified, but lacking vocational skills. Law firms need to get them on the job as soon as possible.
The advantage of the German system is that first-year associates can be let loose independently on work almost immediately. "It depends on the area of law," comments Markus Brans, director of administration at Shearman & Sterling in Düsseldorf. "When it comes to opinions and memos on corporate law, then the new associates are ready, but they have a lot to learn when it comes to a unified approach to M&A work - not only do they have to learn negotiating skills, but employment, tax, antitrust and administrative issues have to be in the backs of their minds." In other fields, however, there is far more training to be done. Tax lawyers, says Brans, have to expect to be trained for up to two years before getting down to client work.
As would be expected in a civil law system, the emphasis on training rem-ains relatively academic. Shearmans associates meet every Friday (for the spookily-named 'Project Brain') where the latest legal judgments are discussed and where each associates takes it in turn to present a paper on legal developments (which is subsequently sent for publication in academic journals). Seminars both in and out of house on legal and business studies issues are also offered.
The initial task on the first day is a quite different one, admits Brans. "They have to undertake computer training," he says. "Associates have to become familiar with the international knowledge management system and how our international networks work. That also includes acquiring presentational and cultural skills."
He points out that nearly all of them cope well. The major problem is finding the time to fit in the training. In addition, he notes wryly, "occasionally you have to tell the lawyers that they're not yet ready. And after all that studying and a doctorate behind them, they do sometimes wonder when it's all going to be over."

|The Law Society's rules on continuing professional development
| "'Continuing professional development' [CPD] means a course, lecture, seminar or other programme or method of study (whether requiring attendance or not) that is relevant to the needs and professional standards of solicitors and complies with guidance issued from time to time by the society," (The Law Society Training Regulations 1990).
Fully-qualified solicitors and European lawyers are required to undertake 16 hours of study in their first CPD year and in each year thereafter. The required hours for newly-qualified solicitors/registered European lawyers vary for those admitted before 1 November (the beginning of the CPD year). In this instance, individuals must undertake one hour for each complete month worked from the date of admission/registration until 31 October (the end of the CPD year).
A minimum of 25 per cent of the CPD requirement can be undertaken through preparing, delivering and/or attending accredited courses. These include courses designed for distance learning, involving a dissertation and written examination, face-to-face coaching sessions with written aims and objectives and sessions presented by distance learning providers.
As an alternative to committing the full 16 hours of CPD in this manner, a maximum of 75 per cent may be satisfied through a choice of many activities. Individuals may claim the actual time spent participating in accredited and non-accredited courses lasting more than 30 minutes but less than an hour. Time spent on other activities includes writing articles, watching videotapes, listening to audio cassettes offered by authorised providers, and the actual time spent at meetings of specialist committees or working parties may also be claimed, along with various other activities.
The requirements for solicitors and European lawyers who work part time are reduced pro rata. Part timers should commit themselves to take one hour of CPD a year for every two hours worked per week (an average of 20 hours per week worked is equal to 10 hours of CPD each year); and individuals who are working on average less than two hours a week may be excused the CPD requirement.

Heading to Philly for a weekend --- Any good recommendations??
- Danielle11 Jan 16, 2009 08:23 PM
My fiance and I are heading to Philly for the weekend and would love some authentic Philly food experiences. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
The Philly Cheese Steak sandwich is a must. I cannot recommend any one purveyor of this Philadelphia original, but can suggest that you request provolone instead of 'squeeze cheese', the stuff that comes outta a squeeze bottle. The 2 well known places in the Italian neighborhood are kinda quirky...one place expects you to speak some alien language when it comes to ordering. They are located across from each other.
Buon appetito!
Hit South Street, along with Jim's Steaks at 4th and South, there are many, many sweet restaurants in the area...enjoy!
Head into China Town, go to Sang Kee Duck House.... Go to South Philly walk down 9th st. the Italian market, , get mussels in red sause at Villa De Roma. Check out Isgros bakery, the smell alone will make you swoon...
In my opinion the quintessential food experience in Philadelphia begins with the Reading Terminal Market.. Between the Dutch Eating place, the roast pork at DiNics (which I think is far superior sandwich to the cheesesteak), and the amish purveyors that are there, it is a great place to start.
I would add in Capogiro's gelato, and Naked Chocolate Cafe for hot chocolate and great candy.
If you go to South Philadelphia, you might enjoy a local italian place like Marra's for their wood fired pizza as well as one of a number of bakeries that produce italian bake goods. Termini's and Isgro's are probably the best known. (Termini's also has an outlet in the Reading Terminal).
definitely start with the reading terminal market. make it lunch or earlier on SATURDAY - sunday it's open, but not nearly as impressive as many of the vendors are not open on sunday. you pretty much can't go wrong at the RTM, and it's a wonderfully overwhelming and totally philly experience for locals and tourists alike.
where are you staying? have a price range or particular atmosphere you're looking for, for dinners? are you open to BYOBs (i really think philly excels in these - they are generally intimate and have some of the best food to be found IMO) or sticking with places with a liquor license? there are a million places we could recommend and it would help if we could narrow it down for you with this criteria.
re: rabidog
I'm open to any type of atmosphere. We're only staying in Philly for a short amount of time and I wanted to have an authentic Philly experience. I want to try dishes that I wouldn't necessarily get if I were staying in another city. We're staying at the Marriott near the airport.
Thanks for your help!
re: Danielle11
The Reading Terminal Market is a must. We tried everything from cheese steak sandwiches, Amish food, pork and broccoli rabe sandwiches, Delilah's famous mac and cheese, fried chicken, ice cream and ribs (not necessarily in that order). It's a food lover's mecca.
There's a wonderful place called TRIA that does these incredible beer and cheese pairings. Great for a late lunch. http://www.triacafe.com They organize their cheese menu by categories like: clean, luscious, stinky, approachable, stoic, and racy and all their cheese is from (of course) This is Murray's. They also have delicious small plates. I recommend the truffled egg toast
Reading Terminal Market - Italian hoagie from Salumeria, Amish chicken fron Dienner's, pretzels from Fisher's, roast pork with broccoli rabe from DiNic's...

What Country Has the Worst Youth Unemployment? Not Spain or Greece…
The big loser is Turkey.
Despite the horror stories you may have heard about over half of Greek and Spanish youths being out of work, the reality is a bit more complicated. The above chart courtesy of the OECD (via Alan Beattie of the Financial Times) gives us a more accurate picture of youth joblessness. Instead of counting everyone under 25 who isn't working as unemployed, it only counts everyone under 25 who isn't working and isn't in schol or a training program as unemployed. Things are still bad, but not nearly as bad as the headlines suggest.

I can't write anything about that episode that Elise and Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker haven't said better, though I lean heavily toward Nussbaum's thesis that prostitution has always been a theme of Mad Men. What struck me was how normal the proposition sounded inside the office. In the bar, the request to have the B-52 sent to his love shack came across as an affront. Inside SCDP (initials that have forever ruined the South Carolina Democratic Party for me), only Don reacted badly, knowing as a whore's son what you lose in such a trade. It was, to them, just business, though I'm not sure I'll ever be able to look Roger Sterling in the eyes again no matter how charming he pretends to be.
What wasn't for sale? Peggy and her pride that reaches into envy with both hands. The glass wall separating her from the silver trays of lobster was a bit heavy-handed, and there was a whiny, immature touch to her reason for leaving. But her decision to leave — to say no to Don Draper — seemed to require more guts than did Joan's decision to take off her dress for Mr. Jaguar.
It was a shocking episode, grueling to watch. But the decision to whore out their officer mother did not seem to wreck their day.
Team, I'm going to ignore the fact that I find the Joan storyline to be incredulous for a second to focus on Peggy, who has been, for the length of this show, both a protege and a female mirror of Don. Last season's "The Suitcase," when Don really hit the bottom of the Plath Bell Jar and found himself sleeping on Peggy's lap after losing Anna Draper is one of the best Mad Men episodes of all time, and it's largely because of the strength of the bond between those two characters (and actors).
She told Don, in that heavy goodbye scene, that he'd probably do the same. Maybe. And he said he would ignore the fact that he's responsible for everything good that's happened to her. There's an argument I don't buy, and I'll use Jay-Z to explain myself. In "Lost One", a track off of 2006's Kingdom Come, the HOVA opens with this:
"It's not a diss song, it's just a real song / Feel me? // I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov / Made Hov say, "Okay so, make another Hov"
The HOVA explains it the lyric this way:
"I owe a lot of my success to a lot of people, but ultimately, no one made me. This is the kind of lie that people get told all the time, sometimes in romantic relationships, sometimes in their professional lives: that somehow who they are is a result of other people's investment in them. It's vital to resist that or you risk losing yourself; as I say in another song, Remind yourself / nobody built like you / you design yourself."
It is without question that Don changed Peggy's life (hiding her big Pete baby secret not withstanding) but they are different people, different sexes, on different tracks and she's been a victim of bad timing with him one time too many. Why is it Peggy who always walks in to his office when he's in the worst possible mood for a totally unrelated reason? Ugh.
Just as Jay says, Peggy is now reminding herself that she designs herself. And that look of excitement and relief as she prepared to step in the elevator was uplifting for me, because she's been in a rut all season.
So it seems like Don's losing grasp on all the women who matter to him most. Megan isn't going to be controlled like a 1966 Jag. "She just comes and goes as she pleases," Ginsberg observed about her, or no one in particular. And the out-of-chronology reveal of Don's too-late plea to stop Joan broke my heart. I started tearing up at that scene, but by the time he was bidding adieu to Peggy, the tears were full-on running down my face.
So I've left a lot unsaid here. Mainly about Joan. But I want you men to weigh in first. Over to you, boys.
You'll like it when you're in it,
Ugh, this is the 10th episode of the season already? I can't believe we have so few episodes left. But these seasons tend to work like Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit — build, build, build, climax somewhere in the third act (or the penultimate episode), bring on the resolution in the very end (or the season finale.)
Lane Skimmin'
How many storylines do I say "This isn't going to end well" about? But this really isn't going to end well. But, this season's theme is "every man for himself," right? His pride keeps him from going to the partners honestly and saying he's in a tough spot and needs some cash. (Clearly Roger has enough to buy off his copy writers as needed and to give his ex wife a new apartment.) Borrowing $50,000 on behalf of the firm, money that is GOING TO HAVE TO BE PAID BACK … and then paying himself with a fraudulent check … this has future-JP Morgan/Chase written all over it. Doesn't Future Lane ever meet present-day Jamie Dimon in the Negron Complex?
Joan and Don
Their mutual respect and rapport was obvious in the hospital after Guy got his foot chopped off with a lawnmower in Episode 3.6. They truly seemed to understand each other at this point in their lives. Joan is asking herself where she's going, because she feels she has nothing. Don is asking himself where he is going, because he has everything.
Critics and fans have said Don and Joan are meant to be together, but maybe because they are, they'll never be together. Such are the rules of television, right?
The bar scene reminded me a bit of Don's bar scene with Peggy in one of the best episodes of Mad Men ever, Season Four's "Suitcase" (4.7):
"Don shares with Peggy that he watched his father get killed by a horse when he was only 11; Peggy (in keeping with the reflexivity of their characters) reveals she too watched her father die in front of her when she was also a child. They both avoid what's in their suitcases by giving everything they have to their work. I wonder, in fact, whether their personality types are somehow well-suited for advertising because of the way their brains can imagine another reality… or something… ?"
But Don and Peggy are soul mates in that they are mirrors of one another. It's different than he and Joan, who complement one other.
The Return of Paul Kinsey
That was rad. This is the same former Sterling Cooper writer who briefly became a Freedom Rider in order to be part of something, anything. The latest place he's playing poser is among the Hare Krishnas, which I suppose I'm not that surprised about, now that I think about it. The guy is a fake human being, though so is Harry, but they went on quite different paths. I suppose this is why Harry feels empathetic toward Paul — they are in many ways the same posers, only Harry got lucky.
"What ghost visited you, Ebenezer?" Don then reminds Pete that Pete instructed him to intervene the next time a boxing match was possible. Pete and Lane found some sort of civility. But these financial tricks wind up getting discovered, so we're probably set up for another Pete-Lane showdown.
Loose Ends
-I've ignored Roger in discussing Joan and Don. But his efforts to try and pay for Kevin are noble, and that line after he dropped off flowers — how many times have I left you with a card from another man — was quietly heartbreaking.
-Meanwhile, it seems Don is starting to care about work again, just as Megan cares more about acting, which is a totally different direction. This is a fissure that's NOT caused by Betty from 50 miles away.
-"It feels like Joan's breasts are getting bigger and bigger." -Matty
-What did y'all think? I found the episode to be pretty uneven compared to others … but maybe I'm missing something.
Surprise, there's an AIRPLANE here to see you,
"I'm thankful that I have everything I want. And that no one else has anything better." -Betty
On this Mother's Day, we pause in our celebration of loving moms to watch perhaps the most irritating television mother of all time, Betty Draper Francis.
What's the measure of a man? His professional life, we think. What's the measure of a woman in the sixties — or today, for that matter? Her appearance? It was just last week when Hillary Clinton got pilloried for not wearing makeup and she had to tell the world she didn't care … because a woman shouldn't be defined, or define themselves, by appearances.
But for our characters, perhaps more important than appearances is how we measure up against one another. That final, searing quote from Betty said it all. It's not enough to have everything you want (or maintain your weight for a week in Weight Watchers). You have to be better than everyone else, if you're Betty Draper. All that competition can be quite toxic, indeed.
Don's love leave is over and he's feeling the competitive heat in the workplace, which has long been his proving ground. It was nice to Ol' Don back in his office late at night, snowballing, er, spitballing some ideas. When he played off his "snowball's idea in hell" notion as something he just came up with in the office pitch session, the reliably filterless Ginsberg said, "It's impressive that you could not write for so long and come up with that. That's good to know." We, of course, know better.
And here I was feeling bad about Betty's situation for most of the episode until she pulls a TOTAL Betty with the Anna Draper move. WTF, BETTY? Seriously? Props to Sally Draper for turning that back around on her mother later — "He showed us pictures and they spoke very fondly of her" — but what a way to deal with heavy topics, Betty.
It's easy just to hate on her, and I remain unconvinced that ANYTHING could make her happy. But when Henry Francis talked about having bet on the wrong horse politically, there was a tender moment there between he and Betty, even though Betty was probably wondering whether she bet on the wrong man. That note about the lightbulb was pretty endearing, after all.
Loose Ends
"You know Don. Tall guy (gesture) short temper (gesture)." - Ginsberg
- After weeks of us joking around about all the walking around money Roger has, he finally says what the audience has been saying — "I gotta start carrying around less cash." In the Season 5 opener, "the roll of walking-around money in his pocket would purchase, in 2012 terms, $7,000 worth of goods, services, favors, or indulgences." Then, in "Mystery Date" (Episode 5.4) Peggy managed to get $400 out of Roger to do the campaign he forgot, which works out to $3000 in today's money. Poor Ginsberg gets obviously shorted with only $200 in 1966, or $1500 in 2012 terms.
- Roger's mojo is back, but we got a glimpse of the wreckage of his second marriage. I can't muster up that much pity for Jane because I remember how wily and manipulative and bitchy she was to Joan when she worked at Sterling Cooper and snatched Roger in the first place. So, uh, whatever. I don't feel terrible that Roger had sex with his wife in the apartment that he bought for her.
- Pete's general desperation as a human being: Pretty hilarious this episode.
- I have to admit after the Megan/Sally scene I sat there for a few moments keeping my eyes wide open to see if I could make myself cry.
Am I the only one who can work and drink around here at the same time?
After our resident professor-blogger Walton expounded on Pete Campbell's reading of Thomas Pynchon and suggested that Pete's ethos is a hybrid of modern and post-modern, I looked up the differences and found a handy chart.
So, modernism aligns with realism and post-modernism is literature that's aware it's literature, or art that's aware it's art. You could argue any advertising creative is post-modern, because advertising by the sixties was all about using language and art to control consumer behavior. But our characters, in this decade of great evolution, are in very different places on that spectrum.
Walton, on Peggy's post-modernism:
When Peggy rages on Don, in Don Draper style, she's dazzling. She exacts an ability to control the messages around Don. Peggy is able to do what Campbell can't: power and language control. As she explains to Megan: I cannot lie to him. Peggy may have become a postmodern already. But when Don toes the edge of the abyss, the open elevator shaft, he pulls back, unwilling to plunge.
Phillip, in his recent post, touched on the same themes, maybe without knowing it: How much do we control the messages we send to others, and by extension, how they react?
But I'm not sure I agree with you, Phil, about Pete being backward. From Phil's post:
Pete is as backward-looking as Peggy is forward-looking. Pete is still trying to find acceptance from some father figure, and has chosen to make himself out to be like Don. Whether it is wanting a bigger office, wanting praise for clients, wanting to sleep with hookers, wanting to cheat on his wife, or just wanting to act lost and desperate, Pete has metamorphosed into Don.
Pete's always seemed raised by wolves; so uncertain of his identity that he has had to model himself after other people. After Don rejected him in Season 2, Pete clung to Duck Phillips, for example.
But I do think he has been on the right side of history and creative culture even though he doesn't get much credit for it. In Season 3, Episode 5's "The Fog," Pete lobbies for integrated advertising — trying to sell the untapped "negro" market. The client hated it, Sterling joked, "Well, if it isn't Martin Luther King," but Pete was looking forward when everyone else in his universe wasn't.
Similarly, in Season 1, Episode 10, "Long Weekend," the firm watches Nixon and Kennedy TV ads and the old guard, which obviously backs Nixon, laments "it should never have been this close." Pete sees what the others don't: "The president is a product, don't forget that," he says. That was 1960, and Pete was arguably post-modern even then.
I point this out to say that while yes, Pete seems to want a life like Don's, his frustration in not succeeding suggests that he is actually not backward, but ahead of his time. I'm with Walton on this one: "Pete is bridge character: he is both the last modern and the first postmodern character on the show."
And I'd definitely put Don behind Pete in the race to the future.
Y'all are everything I hoped you'd be,
"People want to be told what to do so badly that they'll listen to anyone."
In Season 1, Episode 6 ("Babylon"), Don Draper visits the Village to check out some beatnik poetry. During an exchange with an artist, Don finds himself coolly and confidently defending his profession. He says to the artist, "people want to be told what to do so badly that they'll listen to anyone." After the poet pronounces that she wants to make love to Fidel Castro, Don smirks, "Too much art for me."
Six years later (in the Mad Men timeline), we arrive in Season 5, Episode 8's world of Lady Lazarus. Much has been made of the use of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows in the final scene, from the cost ($250,000) to total disbelief that Don wouldn't have loved the song (NPR). Here's what Weiner said about the song:
The thing about that song in particular was, the Beatles are, throughout their intense existence, constantly pushing the envelope, and I really wanted to show how far ahead of the culture they were. That song to me is revolutionary, as is that album.
The song is not supposed to be in Don's wheelhouse; he still hasn't gone rock, which I define as being able to rise above the advertising man he has become. The song is used as a cultural marker against which we're to evaluate the other characters. In the final scene, the montage runs over Don, Peggy, Pete, Megan, and finally back to Don for the cut:
If love is the apex of enlightenment, as the Beatles sing, then Don is left to ask if he is in love. The woman he married worked with him in his office. As Elise and Jason have already said, husband and wives have to navigate their work identity with their couples identity. There wasn't a lot of common ground Don and Megan shared: he's old and she's young, he has no parents and she has two, he has kids and she'd never want more, he loves advertising and she loves art. Don probably wanted to have Megan play a song more like this. Did anyone expect Don, who could barely sit in a beatnik coffee shop, to really go for this?
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate they mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
I don't think Megan was trying to insult Don in any way. I think she genuinely wanted to let him know what the latest thing in music was. But he didn't want the latest thing. He wanted the safest thing.
Pete Campbell is reading Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 at the beginning of the episode. This is important on two counts: 1) Pynchon's protagonist, Oedipa Maas, believes she's uncovered a world wide conspiracy that begins between two rival mail distribution companies. This give us some indication of Pete's ridiculous claim about the female sexual conspiracy against men. 2) It also allows him to attempt another ridiculous move: busting up Beth's conspiracy against him by disrupting the ongoing narrative of her marriage. That is, Campbell tries to redescribe or correct what he takes as both the thermodynamic energy imbalance and message control that gives Beth power over him. Note how she's able to read Pete's tiny blue vulnerable irises surrounded by darkness. Pete's action is a fool's mission, but Pynchon's fiction challenges him to break the code. Pete is bridge character: he is both the last modern and the first postmodern character on the show.
The question is whether the intellectual and passionate core of this show, Don and Peggy, will become full-on postmoderns. When Peggy rages on Don, in Don Draper style, she's dazzling. She exacts an ability to control the messages around Don. Peggy is able to do what Campbell can't: power and language control. As she explains to Megan: I cannot lie to him. Peggy may have become a postmodern already. But when toes the edge of the abyss, the open elevator shaft, he pulls back, unwilling to plunge. The particular claim is pushed further when Don pulls the needle from Revolver at the show's ending. What he's saying is, "I ain't ready yet."
(Submitted by MadMenConvo member Jason)
I am the master of my domain. I won't go so far as to say that I'm the Don Draper of my office, but it's my name on the door, and there aren't many doors in my industry. And in my office, there's no Lane, no Bert Cooper, and, sadly, no Roger Sterling.
But there is a Megan. My Megan is not Canadian, but she is a second wife who's given me a second lease on life, if indeed I had a first. She's a marvelous, loving step mother, a steadfast comrade to have in my foxhole, and a cool drink of water who doesn't need to sing Zou Bisou Bisou to turn heads.
And she made me the happiest man in the world when she accepted my ring. And then she made me even happier when she came to work behind the door with my name on it. I relish seeing her business acumen emerge, and our successes and struggles all seem better because we're experiencing them together. She makes it seem like more of an adventure because she's part of it.
But all of it is on my terms. I know she's not going to want to have her own name on the door, and as much as what's mine is hers, I'm the boss. In ways I have not fully examined and am not entirely comfortable in admitting, that plays a role in the pleasure I derive in her joining my venture. Her support and blossoming talent validates what I'm doing.
And if she came to me and told me how she wanted to do something else because it was important to her, I hope I'd react as well and as quickly as Don did, though there was some venom beneath that benediction when he hurried her out the door. I'd end up feeling as abandoned as he did trying to fake the chemistry with Peggy over non-dairy whipped topping. She was right. Don wasn't angry at her.
I realize this was a serious episode exploring identity, fidelity and what makes us alive or dead inside but it was also one of the funniest episodes of Mad Men all season. It's actually surprising it was so funny, considering how little Roger "One Liner" Sterling appeared in the episode. Between Peggy's avoidance of Don by yelling "Pizza House" when she answered the phone, to Stan's reaction to Megan's resignation, to crazy Michael … there was so much that cracked me up.
But let's focus here, and start unpacking some of the many layers in this episode. "I don't even think he would care if I were alive or dead," Howard's wife Beth, said, of her husband. As the episode's title, "Lady Lazarus," tells us, it's an episode about rebirth: Pete's trying to find new life in a new love, Megan wants to be reborn as an actress, (which must be what her father hinted at as her true passion in last week's episode,) and both Don and Peggy die a little when their hopes for Megan's career in advertising disappear faster than they could say "just taste it." Or was it, "just try it"?
On Pete and Beth
Because Pete Campbell's character is so creepy and generally unattractive, I haven't see him have "chemistry" with a woman since Peggy. But something resonated between he and Howard's wife. And he is usually so flippant about his extramarital affairs … this one obviously got to him, too. A sucker for unrequited relationships, I am, because that little window heart just killed me at the end.
Megan's True Love
"It will never be for me what it is for you," -Megan to Don, about advertising as work
"Did you know he met Betty Draper doing a print ad? Did you know she was a model? That's the kind of girl Don marries," -Joan
On the surface, it's easy for Joan to compare Megan to Betty as showgirl types that Don marries, but the paths those women have traveled with Don and on their own couldn't be farther apart. Don is "everything [Megan] hoped he'd be," but is Megan everything Don hoped she would be? The way this episode ended leaves that up in the air.
Don's kind reaction to her quitting advertising was sweet, but also repressed. I did appreciate how he sincerely wanted Megan to follow her heart, representing quite a change from how he regarded Betty when she tried to return to modeling in Season One, Episode 9. At the end of that episode, "Shoot," Don tells Betty he really just wants her at home, being a mother.
Don has never had that particular housewife expectation for Megan, but it was clear after she saved the Heinz account that it is a huge turn on for Don that his wife was so great at his chosen profession. In my personal life, my husband often tells me he wouldn't love me the same if I weren't a journalist, like him. He says it's because journalism is such a part of one's identity that I'd be a different person if I weren't one. Don is a man without an identity except for the one he built for himself around advertising. He's also uniquely matched for a business that involves selling feelings or desires that may not really be there, because that's how he's existed as a human being.
So it's only natural that he died a little inside when Megan admitted she didn't identify with Don's professional identity. But letting her go chase her acting dream either represents the changing times (Betty's failed return to modeling was 1960, now we're in 1966) or a changing Don, who really does love Megan in a way he never cared for Betty.
Don and Peggy
"I cannot lie to him," Peggy said to Megan. Peggy is on Don's side here. She has always been the female version of Don, and Megan makes the mistake in the first half of this episode of confiding in Peggy as if she's a girlfriend, when really, Peggy reacts as Don would, if he weren't playing the role of loving husband. (Love that fight in the kitchen at the end.)
Loose Ends
HOLY CRAP Mr. Belding has gained a gazillion pounds and is starring as a Cool Whip maker. I was just waiting for Miss Bliss (from the lost junior high episodes of Saved by The Bell) to show up as Megan's grisled acting coach.
It's very strange for me to see someone from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants as a tortured sixties wife. Alexis Bledel has obviously grown old enough for a role like this, and she played it quite well … but I still see her as a teenager.
It's a non-dairy whipped topping, okay? Just taste it.
To exploding skis,
Let us now praise Megan (Calvet) Draper (Jessica Paré). She's taken a lot of heat from the Mad Men community on both sides of the camera, and it's time for it to stop.
Yes, she a shade more than half her husband's age, and yes, a bit of premarital counseling and a longer courtship might have been wise. But let's first place this in context. It was the '60s, and marriage, especially to a handsome, wealthy man, was considered a desirable outcome for a young lady, and 20-something was not considered too young to marry then. Taking a dim view of her choice through gimlet-colored glasses does a disservice to her character.
Absent the helter skelter courtship, upon what charges should we condemn her?
Her song at his birthday party? Brave.
Her youth? Not quite her fault.
Her jumping into the stepmother role enthusiastically? She's good with kids. Someone in their lives should be. The way she cheerfully made Don's children pasta when they unexpectedly crashed her dinner party demonstrated a natural aptitude for her role as stepmother.
Her not knowing her husband as well as others? She asked. She's interested.
A critic could highlight her difficulty in navigating the territory of being the boss' wife while finding her own professional sea legs, but she's working at it and avoids pulling rank. She consciously acts as part of her creative team, has her husband's back at a dinner meeting, and while the conflict might register on her face, it's not an internal conflict she subsumes with alcohol or sex.
As she told her judgmental father, her marriage is not an end, but a beginning. She sees her marriage as a place in which she can grow. She shows her husband sincere affection, shares his sexual interest and does not appear to be using him for his money.
She's not acting like a young girl in over her head. She's acting married, and considering the train wreck that her parents showed themselves to be, Megan's a bit of a marriage savant. At some point, can we just accept that Megan is the dream wife? At this point, even Matt Stiles should be getting jealous.

died May 10, 1963, Baltimore, Maryland
American gridiron football player and larger-than-life character whose exploits helped make professional football the most popular sport in the United States during the late 1950s. A 6-foot 6-inch (2-metre), 284-pound (129-kg) defensive tackle, Lipscomb joked that he gathered up all the opponent's players and peeled them off until he found the ball carrier. His quickness in pursuing ball carriers across the field and rushing quarterbacks proved that a big defensive lineman could do more than defend a small area. His habit of calling teammates little daddy when he could not remember their names earned him the nickname Big Daddy.
Unlike most National Football League (NFL) players, Lipscomb did not attend college. He never knew his father, and, when he was 11, his mother was stabbed to death while on her way to work. After a troubled youth, he entered the U.S. Marine Corps and played football at Camp Pendleton, California. Upon his discharge in 1953, he signed with the Los Angeles Rams for $4,800 and a beefsteak breakfast. His lack of technique limited his playing time. He was known as an amiable gentle giant off the field but one filled with insecurities over his lack of education, his unusual size for his day, and his role as a highly visible African American.
In 1956 he was let go by the Rams and was picked up by the Baltimore Colts. As he became a more polished player, his size, agility, and quickness gained him a regular tackle position alongside future Pro Football Hall of Fame players Gino Marchetti and Art Donovan. The defense was a major factor as Baltimore won NFL championships in 195859. Honoured as one of the premier players of his day, Lipscomb was named all-NFL in both title years but sometimes was criticized for not always playing at full speed.
Lipscomb was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1961, where he helped make that team a title contender and was named all-NFL for the fourth year in a row. In the spring of 1963, he was found dead in his apartment from an overdose of heroin.

An aide to Senator Jim Webb was arrested Monday when he entered a Senate office building with a loaded pistol, Capitol Police said.
Webb's office identified the aide as Phillip Thompson. A statement released by the office said, "To our knowledge, this incident was an oversight."
A Capitol Police spokeswoman said the aide was charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possessing an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition.
The weapon was discovered when the aide went through an X-ray machine at an entrance of the Russell Senate Office Building, said police. They said he had a loaded pistol with two additional loaded magazines.

Thanks for the graphics.
Funny, on the text-only poll I voted for record/stop, as this is intuitively correct.
[One can get in trouble for playing packets back into a live network. :-) ]
But it seems that the record button (small red dot on a large button) doesn't
transfer well to the screen, looking instead like an indicator light.
Also, the fourth example has no shape distinction at all, so people with red/green
color blindness would need to rely on tooltips / button placement.
