Where Was The Norad Santa Tracker, and Santa Claus, When I Needed Them?


Growing up Jewish, I didn’t have Christmas envy, but I had unmistakable Santa envy. My sister and I were always well taken care of come Hanukkah, so it wasn’t as if I was lacking in the gift department that time of year or any other. But I always felt like I was missing out on the fun of having a large stranger break into my house in the dead of night, eat my food and leave me a token of appreciation for allowing his herd of animals to rest for a moment on my roof. The only animals we ever saw on our street were a few stray cats and the occasional peacock. Reindeer on the roof would have been big news.
On Christmas Eve we used to schlep out to Long Island to my great aunt and uncle’s house. Uncle Buddy celebrated Christmas, so they always had a big party. I used to think because we were at their house, and they celebrated Christmas, that I might catch a glimpse of Santa Claus, that it would be my only chance. They didn’t have a big, live tree, but they had a little ceramic one that they parked on top of the TV or on the bar. It was delicate and pretty and I used to imagine the tiny presents that Santa would have to custom-make just to fit underneath it.
We ate Christmas cookies, played hide and seek with our cousins and ate more Christmas cookies. And every chance I got, I’d break away and retreat to the kitchen where I’d press my nose up against the window and decide that the sparkling stars in the cold night air were signs that Santa was at or nearing the eastern end of New York.
Even though my parents would have me change into my pajamas and brush my teeth before we got in the car to go home, assuming I’d fall asleep, I’d hold my eyes open on the drive home so I could stare into the sky. I thought the magic of Santa from being in Uncle Buddy’s house would stay with us until we got home, so it was always my last chance to see the big guy that year.
With the technology available today, namely tracking Santa so closely on NORAD’s website — now with Google Earth! — I imagine the difference that would have made if I had access to it when I was a kid. Then I could have known exactly when he was in my neighborhood. I didn’t need or want any gifts from him — seeing him and his crew would have been a present in and of itself.
I would have raced outside when the radars indicated he was on my street, given him and the reindeer a handful of treats, cautioned them that my neighbors’ German shepherd had a tendency to bite, and then let them know that the family across the street celebrated Christmas, but were really Jewish, too. And then I’d have given Santa and Co. a wink and a wave and let them go on their way.
Who knows, maybe I’ll keep my slippers handy and take a quick glance at the computer tonight. You know, just in case I’m awake at the right time. I can sneak outside and give him the scoop on a few people who’ve been more naughty and nice.

Dude Looks We Love: Aviator Sunglasses


Aviator sunglasses have been around for nearly 100 years, making appearances in everything from “Top Gun” to Lindsay Lohan’s coffee runs. They’re a great look on both sexes, but there’s something so hot and mysterious about a guy in dark aviator sunglasses. Here are five reasons we love a man in aviators ...

The style is flattering on all face shapes, so it’s no exaggeration to say this is a great look for any guy.
While the vast majority of people who wear aviator sunglasses are not, in fact, aviators, some of them surely are. And there’s nothing sexier than chatting with a dude who may or may not pick you up for a first date in a fighter jet.
Since the style originated in the military, throwing on a pair of aviators creates a bit of the “man in uniform” effect, minus the jumpsuit.
Usually, when I see a picture of Zac Efron, I’m like, “Oh, that’s nice.” When I saw the above picture of Zac Efron wearing ray ban 2010 aviators I was like, “SWEET MOTHER OF GOD.”
Like the slouchy beanie (another Dude Look We Love), this manly accessory also looks great on women and is easily steal-able. So encourage your man to buy a pair, and then snag ‘em for yourself.

Woman who boasted smallest waist in the world wins 'America's Next Top Model'


The woman who won this season of “America’s Next Top Model” is the same contestant whose waist is so small that a male judge was able to wrap his hands around it.

After Banks was seen praising the teen’s figure, she was forced to issue a statement explaining the promo.
‘In an effort to create a fun and entertaining sneak peek of the upcoming cycle, America’s Next Top Model released a trailer that was edited in a way that misconstrued our overarching message,’ Banks told People magazine.
But after all that, contestant Ann Ward, thomas sabo outlet a 6’2’’ woman with an ultra-thin figure, took home the title.
The 19-year-old Dallas native said she was once made fun of for her appearance.
“'All those comments about being tall and just not normal,” Ward said. “They're going to look back and feel "I should have been so nice to that girl."'
Banks has long been an advocate for size acceptance, featuring several plus size models on the popular show. She has been criticized for her own weight fluctuations, to which she told her critics in 2007, “kiss my fat a**”

Fashion magazines have entered the era of transition


The impact of the new media, fashion magazines make all the stops to find a way out, let us look at what work they have done.
And other print media may be compared to the days of fashion magazines, not too bad. But let us face the facts - and 20 years ago is different now, tens of thousands of adolescent girls are no longer holding a thick layer of make up in fashion magazines as the only authoritative guide - and they have a choice of more affordable such sites. The continuous development of the media industry have not let those outside intervention, on behalf of the taste of the fashion authority and the private circle to the public. People to express their views, not just stuck to the traditional fashion magazines, picked up the pace. Popular in this era of unprecedented fashion, to please the audience now, fashion magazines have to be changed. Let's see what they are doing good work.

Fashion magazine blog
Cutting-edge fashion magazine "Dazed & Confused" founder and editor Jefferson Hack said: "The traditional means of communication have been given a cool reception in the current, either monthly or quarterly trends are out of date. And digital communication field is in the ascendant, or you get used to it or you will be as extinct as the dinosaurs. "Indeed, the rapid flow of information today, people no longer much-anticipated Fashion Week Four pictures published in the bi-monthly fashion magazine - the information (maps and high authority of National Tsing Hua University reviews) on the same day the flying on the network. E-magazine to a certain extent, reduce the Chukan process, less time will be issued at the lowest allow people access to fresh information more quickly, more importantly, it eliminates the need for huge printing costs and distribution costs.
"Dazed & Confused" approach is, starting this fall to open a series of fashion-related blog, architecture magazine from a system to quickly update the information to supplement the shortage of paper magazines.
Large dynamic
Like "Esquire" to be a generous as the cover is really not practical electronics (of course also attract the eye), not as "Dazed & Confused" photographic portfolio in July this year as hosts Pamela Reed Matthew Rader shot exclusively for the Web site a group of exclusive GIF format, a large, interesting and strange movements and demeanor Petrou new dress style is very compatible, and immediately received a lot of praise. Then follow up is "Vogue Hommes Japan", they produced a Dior Homme as the main character on a digital magazine, in fact, too large a group of dynamic clothing. The sound of a praising, of course, against the criticism, but these are not the focus, as a new fashionable things, the biggest advantage of dynamic large to attract the public attention the first time, triggering topic. I had left "Vogue Hommes Japan" This is a large group put in a modest one, just one day to forward the amount to have thousands of people, including the trend of Wong Wai Man and so many people have joined the discussion, the total views to more than one hundred thousand .
Although relatively traditional fashion large, dynamic large production costs higher, but the cause of the issue of the absolute value of the fare, I believe will soon become a new trend within the industry.
