finding a work-safe image based on the term "interracial" is non-trivialfinding a work-safe image based on the term "interracial" is non-trivialIt's Labor Day, a national observance in the United States that used to mean something, probably back in the 50's, but not anymore. Well, that's not exactly true. Labor Day is actually overflowing with meaning, it's just that most of it is arbitrary. Judging by the name, archeologists have suggested that Labor Day used to be a solemn day of thanks for the contribution of workers throughout America. Since most of us are actually at work today, it's safe to say that meaning has been lost to time. Later additions to the meaning of Labor Day have been family get-togethers involving things we call American food, as well as conveniently-timed Presidential speeches about the economy. Labor Day is also when the fashion community decided people should stop wearing white, because absolutely nothing in winter is white. No sir. In keeping with that moratorium on all things blanco, I've decided to explore a little network of dating sites focused on the needs of those who crave skin of a different color, starting with BlackWhiteRomance.com.

This series has become increasingly inactive. It's a bummer since most of the time these interviews get into interesting narrative territory. In this one, though, D-Nice wrangles Pharoahe Monch for a history lesson. Watch and learn, kiddies.

I know what you are thinking: "If it is solar powered, and I am using it in the dark - how will this work?" - and to answer you - this little gadget stores the energy from the sun right inside for when it is dark and you need it! How can this be for only 89 cents? I have no idea - I order from this company frequently because I love little stuff like this - and it always comes (in great condition) - I honestly have no idea how they make any money.

Mad Men: The Suitcase

Submitted by cobwebsandstrange on 9/6/10 9:03am

Despite Todd VanDerWerff cover at the AV Club creaming himself about “The Suitcase” and rambling on while repeating the same concept just about five times in a single review, it wasn’t one of Mad Men’s strongest efforts. It wasn’t bad, by any stretch of the imagination, just not classic.

The last two weeks, though, have seen the show ape a severely different tenor than it had been accustomed to. Prior to this episode in “Waldorf Stories,” the show’s run time was dedicated to watching Don get wasted, which provided an opportunity for the character to come off in a way viewers might not have expected. It wasn’t comedic, but there was a dour air of slapstick running through everything.

Gerhard Richter's Two Candles (Part Two)

As aggressive as the music can become, it can be understood as the most serene sort of modern composition. How easy going is it to endless strum a single chord and find it again only an octave away? As easy as letting a candle burn.

In the same way minimal, distorted guitar music might be understood as unheroic, focusing on a mundane, sedentary object, like these candles, fits into  Richter’s ouvre without too much force. In his painting of individual body parts or recreation of a photograph, out of focus, Richter isn’t just refusing to tell viewers what he intends verbally, he’s almost asking us to concoct a story to go along with his work. Is that stray mouth attached to his wife? Why is that dog so prominently figured in a paintings composition?

3 Pasta Pronta Deluxe Cooking Sets with Bonuses - $15.99 Shipped

Submitted by colormejosh on 9/6/10 8:24am

Okay so to be perfectly clear I am not sure how great of a deal this actually is (I will explain in a bit) but for $9.99 and $6 shipping you can get three Pasta & Vegetable Deluxe Cooking Sets with Bonuses (electric Hand Blender, nylon Spoon & nylon Pasta Fork). That is three complete sets - not just one with the included bonuses for around $16! That price is certainly tempting and I am sure these would make interesting gifts... but I am not convinced this is the best deal ever - yet.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention the important part of the deal: you need to use coupon code pasta20 to take an extra $20.00 off the $29.99 price.
