"But this has been an exercise both exciting and melancholy. My own CD collection once commanded a proud stretch of home-office wall space, but it has become a casualty of urban living with a growing family and I have been slowly transferring it into an iTunes library on my hard drive."

At one time I had some 2,000 45's, and 600 LPs. When I did 'the big move' a few years ago, I left them all behind in my brother's attic. I had digitized many to mp3 beforehand though, or had replaced some with CDs. I've since replaced more with mp3 purchases. If I get a CD these days, it gets put in the drive once - to rip it to the hard drive, and then it doesn't see the light of day...

Gourmet's Famine Is Library's Feast - http://blog.seattlepi.com/bookpat...
"Marvin J. Taylor, director of New York University's Fales Library, told the New York Times he "got on the horn immediately" when he heard that Gourmet Magazine's gravy train was out of steam. Taylor knew that the publication's library of cookbooks would be ripe for the picking. And even if the magazine was toast, the remaining crumbs could beef up his mushrooming Food and Cookery Collection."

competitive swimming gets to you; before down and then again after school. you always smell like chlorine. And because I also ran track and played football, 6 months of the year I wasn't doing it which made it even tougher in the winter and summer as you got older against the people who did USS

Do guys ever like "regular" girls? Or do they always have to be tarted and slutted out to hell? I like looking at nice guys, but they can be in sweater vests and bowties, not waxed, shiny, and in speedos.

I'd much rather a woman think like a porn star than look like a porn star. I'd much rather see the attractive "regular" women I see naked, but most of them won't let me see them naked, so I make due with the women who will. If that makes sense.
- josh neff, geek at large
I like 'normal' women, but my definition of 'normal' is other peoples' 'weird', or maybe just 'different'. And DERRICK!

slutted, definitely, tarted optional.
- sofarsoShawn
I wouldn't use "regular" to describe myself, but I definitely don't tart or slut more than 1x per 5 years. There are guys who are into that, but in my experience it's a minority of guys. That works, really, because it seems like the majority of women wear makeup, etc.
- Lo
I think most men have a knee-jerk (and I'm using the word "knee" here *very* loosely) response to "tarted up" women, where we are reacting to the symbols and signifiers of "sexy." rather than to the person herself (hence "sex object" and all that). When it comes to "regular" girls, tastes diverge a bit, but I think all but the most deluded and juvenile men also find a certain large segment of the "regular" female population attractive, too.
- s t e v e
Also, Derrick, lemme remind you of some of your previous posts here: the women on FF who get comments on their photos ranging from appreciative to Neanderthal are almost never looking phony, dressed to kill, etc. They are just looking pretty or confident or vulnerable or kind or some other "normal" thing that men respond to (appropriately or not).

- Brad Greer
laura: In Tina Fey's defense, it's possible that she doesn't really have a choice. My wife (yes, a librarian; yes, smarter than I am; yes, doesn't own high heels) is 5'10" or 5'11" and weighs 115lb--because that's how her metabolism works. [Addendum: I don't follow celebrity news much OR read the NYTimes, so didn't realize that Fey admitted losing 30lbs deliberately--see laura x below.]
- Walt Crawford
What Brad said! Some of the best looking women I have seen have little to no make-up or other enhancements. Keep it simple stupid... ;)
- JA Castillo
Walt, she's said publicly that she lost 30lbs in order to get on TV: http://www.nytimes.com/2001....

OK, then I withdraw my comment. That's unfortunate. (Not that overly-thin women don't get grumbled at a lot as well...)

A woman who looks like a stripper is probably going to catch my eye, but that's about it and only temporary. We had a party once where we had strippers. I got to film them "backstage" and just kinda hang out with a bunch of naked women. It was pretty awesome, but as we got to talking, I started to forget to stare at their junk.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I personally prefer regular girls. Yeah sure a lot of slutty girls look good, but at the end of the day I find myself looking more at a regular girl with some nice curves.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I don't know any regular girls. All the women I know are amazing in a lot of different ways.
- DJF
i thought you guys all liked regular girls who "tarted up" for you at home? or if you know that librarian is "tarted up" underneath...?
- Lisa
Oooo, a tarted up librarian? I'm all for that!
- Jason Huebel
I don't know if I like this anti-tarty vein. And whoever was commenting on women's photos on FF and the response they got, um, you're wrong. The "myspace photo" is alive and well on FF. You got it with "vulnerable" doe eyes through teh eyebrows cleavage shots. lol. Do you think the anti-tart sentiment isn't about high maintenance women, but more about a fear of women's sexuality?
- anna sauce
To clarify- men feel safe when women hide their sexiness underneath a cardigan and horned-rim glasses?
- anna sauce
I really doubt it, anna. Men feel safe when women hide their intelligence behind pancake makeup and fuck me pumps is more like it.
- Spidra Webster
Other men, maybe. Smart, strong women are a serious turn-on for me. I like a woman who can stand her ground.
- Jason Huebel
Of course there are exceptions. And probably more here on FF than other places. But as a generalization? yeah.
- Spidra Webster
I wonder if you take a hot woman, who is a librarian, and shows off her curves. Would you guys not be interested because... she has a healthy sense of her own worth? LOL.
- anna sauce
I don't like it when women hide their sexiness or their intelligence. Wearing it on the outside, whether you're in a short skirt & fishnets or a baggy T-shirt & jeans. is really, really, really attractive.
- josh neff, geek at large
I mean, some people are just hot, and not slutty per se, but defnitely have a rack, etc. Like Selma Hayek. Would anyone tell her to take out her contacts and put on a cardigan, so they can marry her... lol. We're putting too much stock in looks.
- anna sauce
It's interesting how many people (mostly guys) say here (and in other similar threads) that they're into women who are smart, practical, and "normal", and not so into the major makeup, flirty, "tarted up" type. However, when a picture is posted here that is like there, there is no shortage of drooling in the comments.

What's the adage... you f** your mistress, you marry your wife?

Rochelle: On the other hand, there's a whole bunch of us out here who you've never see drool over any picture in the comments, whether it's a "hot" woman or otherwise. Out of a million people on FF, I'm certainly ready to believe there are thousands of "guys" looking for hot pictures to drool over and also thousands of men who prefer women in all their complexities.
- Walt Crawford
Like I said, a "slut" or hot chick or whatever might catch my eye just like an expensive sports car might catch my eye...but that doesn't mean I really want one.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Walt, I'm talking about people I interact with on FF and posts I've seen show up in my feed. I've never encountered you before on FF, so I have no idea what your commenting history is.

Coming from Montreal, people would often rave about how beautiful Montreal women are... but I've also heard it said that your 'average' Montreal girl (whatever that is) knows how to dress in a way that flatters their particular body type.

Oh yes, there are men that like intelligent women. Then you end up as the *tech-support gal* .. :)
- Citronella
The thing about "hot" girls is that you can invest hundreds of hours in knowing how to look good to please others (and I'm drawing a distinction from ladies who do it for themselves, like many FF women), but you're still going to be old someday anyway. If you invest that time in knowing stuff, or being entertaining, you'll be the hot one with time.
- Lo
Yes I prefer girls with a healthy dose of fiber.
- Rodfather
This is a tricky question, actually. Obviously, I see where D is going, but I would argue that a girl not being tarted up does not make her "regular." Many of ff's most spectacularly crush-worthy ladies are not tarted up at all, and many of the guys on here notice quite often how fabulous these "regular" girls are. :)

Trout pouts? lol
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Sure, some guys like regular girls. No, plain janes do not get more action nor asked on more dates. (Simple answer). And for some women (whom i admire) the makeup application that makes them look dynamite takes mere minutes, and they can hold a conversation quite easily - so equating makeup/tarted (?) with shallow is just an easy out. tarted up doesnt cancel out your worth as an intelligent human, for either sex. So, ernk to the turn this convo has taken.

Im not a tart - I have neither the figure, the wardrobe nor the makeup skills to enhance my looks. But I dont trash those who do. I consider myself pretty regular - plain and chunky, on the higher side of smart. I just think this question (Do guys ever like regular girls") is too much like "do guys ever like chocolate?". The answer is some of them, some of the time, and it all depends on the chocolate.

You know what? I wanted to like this thread. But you're all playing so facilely with stereotypes that don't mean jack shit that it's a pointless conversation.

- Akiva Moskovitz
I agree that words have a lot of baggage associated with them, but it'd be pretty hard to have this conversation without words. Is there another word besides "tart" that more adequately expresses the nuances that you feel should be included in such a discussion? Or is it just flat out wrong to talk about women period? (please read that in a non-confrontational tone, I don't mean to fight, just curious & happy to be ignored)

I don't think we're all playing with the stereotypes; or rather, I don't think we're all playing *along* with the stereotypes. Some of us (OK, me) are tweaking the stereotypes with our responses (except for the being married to a librarian part. Librarians are pretty neat, regardless of where they fall on the sexual attractiveness scale.)

Hmmm. Being one who's in an open relationship, and a Kink? I get to deal with all types from all walks in many situations. I'm pretty desensitized to a lot of "normal" turn-ons, so someone who tries to stand out will get my attention - so will someone who tries to blend in. That's why I appreciate the entire spectrum. And yes! I love women who want me to objectify them, literally!

MB Linder, Will Higgins™, Lo and 3 other people liked this
Harris-Moore, 6 ft. 5 in. (1.96 m), has become a legend in the Pacific Northwest — T-shirts bearing his face or the words "Fly, Colton, fly" are big sellers in Seattle — and on the Internet. His Facebook fan club has 8,000 members, and a hokey ballad on YouTube sings his praises. Harris-Moore's supporters see a deeper meaning to his popularity: During hard economic times, they say, why not celebrate a poor boy who robs from the island vacation homes of Seattle's dotcom gazillionaires? But Harris-Moore apparently steals just as often from Camano's ordinary folk as he does from the rich. Read more: http://www.time.com/time...

I don't know why we're celebrating a common criminal. He's not great, he's not wonderful. He's a thief who has damaged others' personal property. He's a sociopath who has no respect for other people or any law. He deserves to be in jail, not being written up in Time.

Twitter, Texting Enhance Writing Skills, Says Expert - 12/14/2009 - School Library Journal - http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article...
"If renowned author Ernest Hemingway could write a full story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn”), then teachers and librarians should encourage their students to use Twitter and text messages as part of their literacy lessons."

“There’s always the danger when embracing something in a school setting that you kill it for the students,” she says. “But helping kids understand the social and contextual role that texting plays in their lives I think is one possible justification. If there are ways educators can incorporate it in providing homework support or building dialogue out of school hours, then I think it could be a useful communications tool.”

"“We don't get the 'Afro Picks!' cover. It's not hip, cute, or appealing,” said one tweet. Another tweet: “It seems like a big mistake,” while another read, “what exactly is the rationale behind the Afro-picks cover?” “This is a ridiculous cover. An afro with lotso picks. Get it?” “Publishers Weekly what were you thinking?” By early afternoon on Monday, Twitter was swarming with comments about the cover illustration and few of the comments were complimentary"

"The image was a photograph taken from a new book from W.W. Norton, Posing Beauty: African American Images from the 1890s to the Present by Deborah Willis, a collection of carefully chosen photographs intended to highlight the physical and cultural beauty of African-American life. The image (Pickin', 1999) by Lauren Kelley is a photograph of a black woman whose hair is full of Afro...

"And with all due respect to those who were offended by the image, that is not a universal reaction.

It was a list of top African American books in PW. I think it's an awesome cover too. I would really like to see the book it came from "Posing Beauty." But I'm not African American so I can't speak on if it would offend me...I wonder if the commenters looked at the PW & checked out the context or if the context just didn't matter...

I've only recently found myself as a steak fan, but I've conjured up a pretty good rub, and I think I have a pretty good cooking technique. It's too big though, oh my stars, I ate just under half of it.

Dude, what's in your rub? I have one I use for short ribs and the like, but I'm not sure how it would work for steaks.

I'm starting a new diet next week, so I decided to go out on a high note. Tomorrow night is my last bit of drinking for a while.

Dude, what's in your rub? LOL
- LogEx
Chili powder, granulated garlic, brown sugar, kosher salt, little dried thyme and oregano, black pepper, cayenne, and onion powder. I put it on just before lunch time, let it sit, and let the steak come up to temperature just before putting in the cast iron, which had been in a 450 degree oven for twenty minutes.
- Derrick
In a wonderful turn of events, D, you'll get to have steak on Instinct as well.
- Jason Toney
That's a lot like the one I use. I have a couple ribeyes in the freezer right now, in fact.
- ha3rvey, not a sweetheart
I want some please!!!
- YoYo_P
Whuuuut, JT? I have to admit I bought these for a photo shoot that never came to fruition. The indulgent side of me loves the ribeyes, but the more practical likes the skirt steak. Good to know, JT. Just gotta load up on the veggies, right?
- Derrick
yeah, 6 oz steak portion (and lean) plus some veggies and you're all set.
- Jason Toney
@Derrick - now I know you are family...sweet potato fries are loved here too!
- JA Castillo
Well, damn, JT, that's kinda what I ate tonight. JA, I need to learn how to make mine from scratch; these were frozen via Trader Joe's.
- Derrick
The wife cuts hers, places them on a cookie sheet and adds a dash of olive oil atop and then drops them in the oven. Season w/ salt thereafter. It's a bit different and if you are not on top of things, you can burn them, but it beats frying them up! :)
- JA Castillo
I think Cook's Illustrated had a recipe for oven sweet potato fries earlier this year. I'll see if I can find it.

it’s not just that Facebook is tricking its users; it’s betraying them. It did so when it literally communalized private friend lists that people spent years accumulating, without which their accounts would be useless.

The duplicity is the problem for me, not the transition of the profile itself. I use facebook now, primarily, as a feed of my content the same way I have it come here. I had already adjusted my behavior because my facebook friends are overwhelmingly professional. This, though, further showcases what facebook's true motives are.

Looking for Wii games for my nephews (they're like 8 and 10). Realizing I don't know how to look for games that aren't rated M, or at least T. These all look DUMB. [They already have Super Mario Galaxy, Rayman Raving Rabids, Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones. Maybe Lego Batman? Or the New Super Mario Bros, if Dad doesn't get them that...]

You can get good second hand versions of these games, too, and they won't either notice or care.

Joe can't read! Hmm in that case I'd say Lego Batman is a safe choice. My friends kids love that thing.

Heh, I play lego batman all the time. The cool thing about it that's different than the other lego games is that you get to play the same levels over as villains with different goals and missions.

Toy Story Midway Mania? EDIT: Kick me for not opening comments before leaving one.

lol. Don't worry, Alix, Joe already beat you to not reading the comments. Jason/Brent, I just emailed my sister to see if they've got Lego Batman, just to make sure. That may be the winner.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
If they have (and enjoy) Lego Star Wars and Indy, Batman's a sure winner. If they already have it and haven't gotten Indy 2 (it came out on November 17) you might give that a shot. Which reminds me, I have to place a game order...

These things are going to have to be different thickness and tastes as I go along. The first batch was too crispy for my tastes, though I understand that's how shortbread is supposed to take. I like it a little fluffier though.

Reaction to second batch: "THAT'S EXTREME!" Ummm, it is more lemony, but still trying to figure out if that means too much butter or too much lavender too.
