Two more sent home on 'So you Think You Can Dance'
The episode begins with the group dancing a jazz choreographed routine by Michael Rooney to "The Incredits" from The Incredibles. Was it me or did the group dance feel like an old gap ad? And why on Earth was the camera and the routine focused on Ryan? This keeps on happening week after week. Anywho, I wasn't feeling that routine at all.
The bottom three couples are revealed: Ashley and Chris, Miranda and Robert, and Caitlynn and Mitchell. I'm surprised by Miranda and Robert following their spicy samba from the night before. Caitlynn and Mitchell are also a surprise. Ashley and Chris were kind of a no-brainer. Judge Nigel Lythgoe saw to that Wednesday night when he said he "didn't get" the routine.

Spotlight: Al Gore's Charity Work
Al Gore was born in Washington DC in 1948, the son of a US Representative and Senator. His early life was divided between life in the political capital of the United States and the family farm in Tennessee. In the 1970s, he served as a military journalist in Vietnam. 1993 saw Gore become the 45th Vice President of the United States, a position he held under President Bill Clinton until 2001. He narrowly missed out being voted into the Presidency himself in 2000.
Gore founded the Alliance For Climate Protection – which he describes as “a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the US and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis” – and is the driving force behind Live Earth.
He is the author of An Inconvenient Truth, a best-selling book on the threat of and solutions to global warming, and the subject of the movie of the same title, which has already become one of the top documentary films in history. His latest book, “The Assault on Reason”, debuted at the top of the New York Times best seller list when it was released in May of 2007, and in September 2007 his interactive cable network, Current TV, won an Emmy.

Cocktail Rings 2011: Five for Bold Women
When it comes down to cocktail rings for 2011, you can spend as much or as little as you’d like. I have selected five bold rings that range from approx. $5.00 – $200.00. Each one is bling-ier than the next, I think. From traditional shapes to the more obscure, and from fine metals to affordable imitations, you’re sure to find something you like. These cocktail rings are all bold for their size, some for their color, and others for their dazzling display of sparkle and ornamentation. I am very taken with the first ring I’m sharing you with, which is a turquoise ring with the name “Magnolia.” My second favorite ring comes third in the collage, far to the right, and it’s by none other than Kate Spade New York. It’s a little bit like an engagement ring, so be careful which finger you wear it on! Cocktail rings are not going out of style in 2011 or 2012, so stock up on them!

David Archuleta Talks New Music And Getting Starstruck
Will you continue to write uplifting music or will it be something different for the new material?
I think it can be motivating by being able to relate to people. And it be as real as it can. Be as true to me as it can. That�s just another thing that I�m looking forward to. Being able to have the music not just with the words I�m saying but the way it sounds. Music says so much. Classical music doesn�t have any words but it still says so much. I�m hoping to be able to really take time to define my sound, my music.
What�s the inspiration behind your new music?
The inspiration, I guess the best way to describe it is what�s on my mind. What�s going on in my head, it�s hard for me to explain sometimes and I feel like for the first time, I am kinda able to bring it out. I guess that�s the way I would describe the direction I�m going in right now.
You�ll be 21 this year. Any big plans?
No, not really [laughs]. I always like to go out and eat and spend time with my family and friends. Nothing too crazy. I like to keep it pretty low-key.
With so much going on right now, do you still have plans to go back to school?
Yeah, I don�t think that there�s ever a time when it is too late to go back to school. I would love to take music classes. I love the heart of music and the emotion but I never really got to understand the musical theory and the more technical side of music. That�s something I�d love to learn more about. Performing and putting out music is my No. 1 priority right now so that�s what I�m focusing most on. I�m a very spontaneous person unfortunately. A lot of times that can be a bad thing but I try to be sensitive to whatever I feel and whatever changes in what I feel I should do. And keeping in tune with whatever your instincts kind of say.
Have there been any celebs that have left you starstruck?
I was starstruck by Ringo Starr. I was so starstruck that I couldn�t even go up to him. I was pretty starstruck with Bono too.

Quick and delicious 1940s Chuck Wagon Beans recipe
? Day 152 of Vintage 365 ?
Over the years I've developed, picked up or adopted from my youth many dishes which I know by heart inside and out. I don't open a cookbook or go searching online for a recipe when I make them, they're ingrained like the groves in a well worn wooden spoon in my mind. I'm sure many of you have your own reserve of such tried and true, deeply beloved recipes, too.
One that floated into the reportraire last year is a quick-as-flash, very paired down version of vegan chilli that I came up during the dog days of summer, when my husband and I wanted something filling, but devoid of hours spent melting over a hot stove in an even hotter, cramped apartment kitchen. I call the dish, rather un-fussily, Mexican Beans.
It's a simple concoction of kidney (red or white - the mister prefers red, I veer towards white) or black beans, tomato sauce, a little water, diced onions, fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, crushed coriander seeds, bay leaf, sea salt and black pepper, and chilli powder - all of which is cooked together for 20-30 minutes, until the beans have softened and the flavours of the sauce married beautifully.
Neither of us are big fans of spicy dishes, but you could certainly add some fresh or canned chilli peppers as well, if you wanted. To keep this dish on the low fat and calorie side, I don't use any oil, butter, meat or cheese (excluding these ingredients also means it's even easier to whip up a pan of Mexican Beans with store cupboard and a few fresh produce ingredients alone, making it a very economical dish to boot!), but you certainly could (some sharp cheddar grated over top would be a lovely touch).
Recently on Flickr I spotted a somewhat similar recipe from 1948 (which includes ground beef, garlic and little bit of drippings or shortening) that also cooks up relatively quickly (much quicker than the duration for which I generally cook my full-on chilli con carne, which is usually for nothing less than three hours over a low simmer) featuring Hunt's Tomato Sauce called (rather charmingly in a nod to the Western trend of the 40s and 50s) Chuck Wagon Beans.
.
{Click here for a larger version of this stick-to-your ribs vintage Hunt's tomato sauce, ground beef and kidney bean recipe, which comes by way of clotho98 on Flickr.}
On this first day of June, with summer already in full swing (temperature wise!) for many - and soon to be here for more still - I thought this super easy bean recipe would be a fun one to share for those days when you want a warm meal, but don't want to pass out from heat stroke after cooking for hours in the kitchen!
Pair it with a salad of straight-from-the-fridge greens, zesty radishes and cooling apple slices, your favourite bread (or cornbread), and an icy drink and you?ve got a meal that?s filling, healthy and a snap to put together any day of the week.
I hope that this vintage recipe post finds you each doing terrifically and gearing up for an awesome sixth month of the year. Happiest June wishes, and summertime cooking, my wonderful friends!

Ruby Cubic Zirconia Rings: Five That Will Make You Proud
The super amazing thing about cubic zirconia in shades of ruby red is that it doesn’t even cost half as much as a real ruby ring. Red cubic zirconia is a synthetic that will be flawless the way a manufactured ruby would be (as opposed to the organic kind that are found.) You can expect very high shine, and that the CZ will be hard. The price and value will depend on the metal a ruby red cubic zirconia is set into – obviously a platinum ring will be worth a lot, with or without a real ruby. How do I tell a real ruby from a cubic zirconia? The real telltale sign that your CZ isn’t a real gem (ruby, in this case) will be that it’s so flawless and real rubies can sometimes have a bit of a cloudy look in their depths. While different types of rubies have various shades of coloring, most people assume that real rubies are close to a red brick/rose color. If you are trying to pass off your ring as a genuine ruby (hopefully not for any devious reason!), stick to that kind of coloring that you’ll see in the second ring … Continue reading

5 Rings with Names Personalized on Them
There are plenty of ugly personalized name rings to sift through before you can find ones that are worth your time. So, I’ve done it for you!. By the time I finished this post, I think I saw about five ugly rings with names for every one potential ring. There’s sweet….and then there’s tacky. Hopefully I’ve found five rings with names that you can personalize that you’ll find acceptable. The range of these rings is wide. You can buy a ring specifically because you’re a mother or in a relationship, or you can be just about your own name! You can also have added birthstones, diamonds for the fun of it, or have the name stretch out for a two finger ring. They’re all interesting rings, and more interesting the more unique your name is and what details are involved. Try to match your personality (clean and simple vs detailed and elegant?) with the type of ring you want.

Vintage Kool-Aid ice cream recipe is a sure-fire way to stay cool this season
? Day 208 of Vintage 365 ?
It's anything but nutritious or low in sugar, but there is something about the classic, wonderfully sugary taste of Kool-Aid in all its vibrant rainbow hues that makes it so well suited to the scorching hot days of summer and ensures it deserves a recipe post this month.
Long before a smiling pitcher was bursting through walls, proclaiming "Oh, Yeah!" in the process, Kool-Aid was a popular drink with fans of all ages. First introduced in 1927 by Nebraskan Edwin Perkins, Kool-Aid's low price, simplicity of use, and assortment of tasty flavours quickly made it one of the most beloved soft drinks on the market.
When Kool-Aid initially debuted it came in seven flavours (Cherry, Grape, Lemon-Lime, Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Root Beer - the latter of which has been discontinued for decades), though as devotees of this powdered beverage mix know, scores upon scores of other varieties have come and gone over the year (though some of those original flavours are definitely still on grocery store shelves).
If we hop back in time to 1949 though, the first six flavours listed above were what Kool-Aid shoppers could add to their grocery cart. In the absolutely charming illustrated ad below from 1949, a recipe is featured that shows Kool-Aid lovers how to combine a package of drink mix with cream, milk and sugar to create quick, colourful ice cream in a flash.
{If you've got a sweet tooth and enjoy Kool-Aid (or have youngsters in your life a day), this super fun ice cream recipe is definitely worth giving a spin this summer. Image via clotho98 on Flickr; click here to see a larger version of this great vintage ad.}
Kool-Aid ice cream is a light-hearted, delightfully hued dessert that's been around since at least the 1940s. It's speedy to put together, uses a minimum of ingredients, and is sure to put a big smile on Kool-Aid lovers who are both young and young at heart, while helping to chase off the sweltering summer heat for at least a few sweet minutes.

Knot Rings for Women: 5 Variations on Theme
There are a lot of knot rings for women that all look relatively the same. And that’s boring. You can’t just twist some wire around and charge people for something that looks uninspired and limp. (But they certainly have people selling that type of thing on Etsy.) I took to the task of finding five different knot rings, where none of them were too similar. Think I did it? Well, I did! I was victorious indeed. I found them in different metals, with snake-y intentions, with diamonds, with pearls, with different textures…etc. They’re out there if you’re willing to look. A knot is a great symbol for love and all that. But knots are also dangerous. When you have a knot in something like a necklace, it’s sometimes impossible to ever sort it out (sigh, it’s happened to me.) Things can get twisted too much where you can’t find the start of a problem or of a thought, because it’s woven itself through too many spaces. So a knot, to me, also represents that there need to be moments of reflection where you pause and think and breathe – truly breathe. See, knots may be pretty, but they’re a bitch … Continue reading

Jordan is paired with All-Star Brandon Bryant for a contemporary routine choreographed by Desmond Richardson and Dwight Rhoden. They dance to "Who You Are" by Jessie J. Jordan does fantastic. She keeps up with Brandon on this super difficult routine. Mary says Jordan is fantastic and fierce. Nigel says Jordan doesn't have many weaknesses. He says his eyes keep returning to Jordan. He then tells the voters to wake up and not put her in the bottom. Neil says she's beautiful and that she should be very pleased.
Jess dances a solo to "Come By Me" by Harry Connick Jr. It's playful and fun.
Tad was joined by All-Star Comfort for a Chuck Maldonado hip hop routine. They dance to "Look At Me" by Chris Brown. I can barely catch my breath. It's a very difficult routine. Nigel says the routine was very fast. He says he outdanced Comfort. Neil says Tad is super likeable. Mary says he is special. "You hit this right out of the ball park," she screamed.
Melanie dances her solo to “You’re The One That I Want” by Angus and Julia Stone. She's her typical fantastic self.
Mitchel teamed up with All Star Melody Lacayanga for a Tyce Diorio Broadway routine to "Take Off With Us" from All That Jazz. Neil says he doesn't get an airplane theme from the routine. "That was not my favorite," Neil says. Mary says it was over done. Nigel says he "over egged the pudding." (Mitchell is in trouble.)
Ricky is next will a solo to "Daybreak Lights” by Cassidy Haley. He's unworldly good.
Clarice is next with a spicy solo to “Royal T” by Crookers featuring Roisin Murphy. She’s having a fantastic night as well.
Caitlynn and All Star Pasha Kovalev are next with a Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo choreographed Argentine Tango routine to “Malajunta” by Orquestra Color Tango. Mary gives it a standing ovation. She says she took her dancing to another level. Nigel says she kept the intensity. Neil says it felt like great theater.
Mitchell is next with his solo. He dances to “This Time” by John Legend.
Sasha dances with All-Star Stephen “Twitch” Boss to "Misty Blue" by Dorothy Moore. The Christopher Scott choreographed hip hop routine is my favorite of the night. I love how the routine uses contemporary dancing with such a old-time feeling song. Nigel is basically speechless. He compares this routine to Twitch’s routine with Alex last season. (That’s a huge compliment. He says that this is the first time he's seen her have chemistry. Neil says it's the best routine of the night. Mary says the number is "sexy." She says the routine has it all. Mary says that Sasha is an "All-Star."
Jordan's solo is next. She dances to “Tonight” by Lyjje Li. Jordan really appears to have stepped up her game. She has definitely limited the stripper dancing.
Jess and Kathryn are next with a Stacey Tookey contemporary routine. They dance to "The Lonley" by Christina Perri. The judges gush over Jess. Nigel says the routine has more lifts than Joan Rivers' face. Ouch!
Melanie and Pasha are next with a Viennese waltz. They dance a Jason Gilkison routine to “Everybody Hurts” by Tina Arena. It is magical. Mary says it looks like Melanie floated across the stage. She says she's at the top of the leader board. Neil says that Melanie is a super hero. "You're easily my favorite dancer on the show," he says.
Caitlynn is next with a solo. She dances to "Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machine.

Katy Perry on Amy Winehouse: "I Just Hope She Finds Peace"
Opening up about the tragic loss of fellow music talent Amy Winehouse , Katy Perry has revealed how the sudden news has left an impact on her and her husband Russell Brand . Taking a turn from "The Smurfs" promotional duties to a much more somber subject, the "Last Friday Night" singer took to "Good Morning America" to dish her thoughts on Winehouse's untimely death and how it has hit so close to home. "My husband, who's been clean and sober for almost nine years, you know, I see him working a program and working on himself every single day," she told during the interview. And I see how much work it takes to be clean and sober when you have, you know, addiction on your hands," Katy told during the interview. Perry continued, "So it gave me a real gratefulness for my husband [Russell Brand], who got clean when he was 27," adding, "I feel really sad and I just hope she finds peace."

Wolfmother Singer Jailed And Fined
Let it be!
This is a little shocking.
Wolfmother main man, Andrew Stockdale -- who was the picture of easygoing cool when Galaxie interviewed him backstage earlier this year at Big Day Out Melbourne -- was jailed and subsequently fined for brawling with bouncers at a bar in Brisbane.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Andrew was drinking with friends at the bar when he forced his way onstage while the bar band was performing The Beatles� Let It Be.
Andrew was then forcibly removed from stage and told to leave the premises. However, he refused to leave the venue at which point the cops arrived and hauled his behind to jail.
The singer spent the night in the slammer and was subsequently fined A$350 for being drunk and disorderly.

Remembering Allen Ginsberg, gifted beat poet and cultural visionary
? Day 154 of Vintage 365 ?
Allen Ginsberg is a man who is nearly impossible to sum up in a few words - or even paragraphs for that matter. A brilliant poet, cultural visionary, deeply creative soul, and one of the most prominent members of the beat generation, Ginsberg was the type of person who transcended mere descriptions, preferring perhaps to be as open to interpretation as his writing.
I discovered this fascinating poet at an early age (probably in grade 4, which is when I first recall learning of the Beats, including Ginsburg's close friends Kerouac, Burroughs and Ferlinghetti), read his work extensively in my teen years, and discovered upon meeting my husband that he too was a follower of this controversial, immeasurably creative writer.
Ginsberg's work is an opus of tantalizingly thought-provoking, sometimes wacky, often sagely, nearly always entertaining poetry and other writing that captured the good, the bad, the brutal, and the often unspoken elements of a tumultuous generation.
Throughout his life Ginsberg rarely held back, opting to speak his mind in such a way as to ensure he would open and impact those of his readers and listeners (Allen often gave live readings - and made many recordings - of his work during his career).
Though the world sadly lost Allen Ginsberg in 1997, it was on this date (June 3rd) in 1926 that this fascinating, free speech promoting, iconic beat writer was born.
In celebration of his many literary and cultural contributions, I wanted to share a reading (transformed into a lovely Youtube clip featuring background photos of Allen with some of his friends and peers) that Ginsberg made of his superb poem America (which is a good contender for my favourite of all his works).
*Please note there is some adult language and subject matter in this piece and as such I do recommend one listens to it in the presence of young children.*
During his life Ginsberg came to know a great many famous people from Bob Dylan to Paul McCartney, yet I do not believe that he let these relationships - nor the fame he amassed - ever go to his head. To the very end Allen Ginsberg was a man - and writer - of the masses. He spoke up, often very expressively, for the causes he believed in and against the things he saw as injustices.
In poems like Howl and America, as well as a great many of his other visionary works, Ginsberg stepped outside the conventional realm that most poets of the day were residing in to bring a raw slice of truth to the world, which remain as meaningful and worthy of our attention today as when it was envisions and penned decades ago.

having a hot pink moment {pomegranate frozen yogurt}
The above ikat fabric was one being offered on Ebay and I thought that it would make a nice tablecloth or napkins for summer. Hot pink was stuck in my brain for a few days after observing that fabric. I'd say that some pomegranate frozen yogurt would at least look pretty this summer. Want to make some? Below recipe and above picture from here.
POMEGRANATE FROZEN YOGURT RECIPE
Ingredients
- 2 cups freshly-squeezed pomegranate juice
- 1+ 1/2 cup plain, whole milk yogurt
- 2/3 cup Grenadine (pomegranate syrup)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
Method
- Stir pomegranate juice and sugar over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and let cool to room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine yogurt, pomegranate juice and pomegranate syrup and whisk until completely combined.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly (3 hours in the freezer works for me), then freeze it in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer?s instructions. If you don?t have one, here?s how you make ice cream without a machine.
