Barbour jackets! (Maybe that's a Southern thing, but ALL the sorority girls have 'em...because obvs Ms. Tri-Delt needs to be carrying a box of shotgun shells in each pocket.)

Thank you Linda! My mum is a survivor and I feel like what you are saying here represents her cancer and represents my experience of her cancer so much more than the pink ribbons and pink Kitchen-Aids and whatever new crap is getting sold 'for' Komen.

This is a fantastic video! I'm an adult living with depression but I love the visual metaphor of the helmet. Well done!

I died. Please put in "no homo," which I do think is an American thing, and possibly an East Coast thing? Not sure.

Please read Susan Hill's fantastic story before you see the film. The movie is, no doubt, excellent horror. The story is deliciously creepy.

@123Stateline That horn piece is my favorite part of this song, and possibly this album. Whenever I play the song for someone for the first time I always say "Listen for the horns! The horns! So good!" ...I don't know if this was intentional, but to me it references the horns you hear in Afrob...

@pualoalo It's the Karminsky Experience, "Exploration"

Wow! Thank you for sharing this -- it isn't always possible for folks doing CI to explain what's happening in the dance and if you're 'outside' it can be frustrating trying to learn...particularly as people keep saying "just dance your dance." You do such a great job of explaining some of what ...

@chieskitchen "so take care not to burn yourself..." Hah hah! I am making pap for some visitors from South Africa and it's been a couple of years since I last lived there...my burn scars are almost gone and I obviously am in need of a refresher course on how to make pap. The "grind at the 6 o'cl...

@Karibanu In the States we had "The Day After," which was plenty terrifying, but then I saw "Threads" on youtube and didn't sleep for a week. "Threads" for some reason seemed much more real to me and therefore more horrifying.

Thanks for this video! My first dog died of bloat while he was being boarded in a kennel and I am terrified that my current dog (a whippet/lab mix) will get bloat. She sometimes has episodes of non-productive retching, but they are very infrequent and resolve in ten or fifteen minutes on their ...

I love the Edge in drag.

I heard this song in a Body Pump class. So glad I could get it on iTunes!

This is a great video--very clear and thorough. Thanks!

"Your ass? YOUR WHOLE ASS?" I love it.

This is a great example of what I recognize as the SW Virginia accent. I'm from rural western NY (which has its own distinct sound!) but I live in SW Va and I was trying to describe the accent to friends back north. This is it. Thanks! (And thanks, too, for pointing out the stereotypes people ...

@saevarh Plenty of deaf people learn to speak, especially if they are surrounded by hearing people who insist that they learn to produce vocal tones. Generally deaf folks learn by working with a hearing, speaking person. The deaf person puts their hands on the speaking person's throat while wat...

The end of the term is a very dangerous time for grandmothers, aunts, and grandparents.

@SsikJ686 The staff may have a perfectly healthy body image and have healthy habits. You CAN be bigger and still be active and happy. We can't know just from looking at them.

When I saw this as a kid, I told my parents I wanted to be Elton John when I grew up. I'm a girl, so...well, I remember my dad laughing really hard.

@funon14 I was thinking about that...I'm a uni professor in the south and my students wouldn't wear 3/4 of these. On the other hand, mad props to you ladies for your use of recycled/upcycled clothing and good lipstick. Thanks for providing the sources and shade names -- I wear a lot of black con...

I love this song, but I don't know the non-English language (is it Tuareg?) being sung. Could someone provide a rough translation? I'd like to share it with my anthropology students, but I'd prefer to do that if we could get a sense of what the song is about. Thanks!

Be sure to check out Tinariwen w. TV on the Radio, too !

I don't work in government, but I have a job that's almost exactly like this..."what EXACTLY did he say to you?" Yep. That's it. What exactly did they say? And no, 'should' does not mean 'yes.'

I love how she kinda looks like Axl Rose in this video.

My brother (younger by 5 years) and I fought like crazy when we were kids. We played together, but we also bickered, bit each other, hit each other...I seem to remember some behavior similar to what the two girls are exhibiting. However, we definitely grew out of it and are quite close.

Is it just me, or does she kind of look like she's on drugs? I mean, the large unfocused eyes, the slack jaw, the ratted up hair? Jusssssssst like a little Amy Winehouse!

@ethanisak This footage is from "Black Rain Falls," a short film of their concert in front of the Exxon building after the Valdez spill. I have a very old copy of it on VHS, not sure if there are DVD versions. (I'm not much of a fan girl, but I would have Peter Garrett's babies. Not even Bono ge...

My hip flexors are super-tight so I know that I can't do full squats. However, it seems like no amount of stretching loosens them up. Suggestions? (I'm doing what I understand to be the standard hip flexor stretch where you get into a lunge and push your pelvis forward. I can feel the stretch ...

I love this song and it's been stuck in my head for WEEKS...glad to have the original version (Mara: Oye)

@doomed2obscurity (ear phones) --> like the United Nations!

Help a monolingual American out...what is this television show?!?!

@energyfinance

Well, at present I'm putting four kids through school -- they're in grades 3, 5, 9, and grade 12 in South Africa. I've also mentored graduate students in public health in South Africa, and I work with young people here in the States to design and implement community development p...

I was skeptical, but my dog has dark nails and HATES the clippers. I did the acclimation process but I did end up leaning on the dog as I did her nails. I make sure to do the trimming after her longest walk of the day and -before- feeding her dinner or treats, so she associates the process with...

Angelique Kidjou is one of the most dynamic and respected singers in Africa today. If you recall the original Stones version, you might also remember that what MAKES that song is the backing track...Merry Clayton's vocals. While I am less than keen on the heavy-handed references to the Darfur co...
