I doubt they'd be discussing it at all if it weren't doing so well in the ratings. Varney should have a big-o over "Call the Midwife" — it's pro-life, pro-private-charity, pro-religion, and has lots of happy poors.

I'll keep this site in mind when I'm in my head to toe burqa, riding in my segregated bus, and a man gets a chubby from a glimpse of my immodestly-groomed eyelashes. There really is no win to this game — except to become a man.

Apparently, "beefsteak" in ye olde flapper times was much more akin to Ruth Chris (aka, thin cuts of filet slathered with melted butter) rather than just "steak." Went to my first traditional-style beefsteak fundraiser dinner a few weeks ago and it was melt in your mouth amazing — and I felt like I needed a 25-mile…

I know I'm being a little over-sensitive to the above, but I feel that I need to put my two cents in. I have a fat cat.

Pot roast is my absolute all-time favorite. You can go retro by skipping the salt and wine and replace it with a pouch of Onion Soup Mix. Deeeeeeeeelish.

Switching to my genealogist hat, I'd have to add that while I'm sure they were shocked, it's not uncommon for documents to go missing or never get properly filed in the first place. It always comes down to human error and oversight, and more specifically, the competency of the town, county, and state clerks. In small…

As long as the subway lines vent through the grates on the sidewalk (like many of the "cut and cover" lines do) flooding is always a possibility.

A side note. I've been a designer for over 20 years and have a deep portfolio of annual reports, editorial, non-profit, politicians, and NGOs (including a former US President). Using stock photography in the above is not the norm.

In my professional opinion — ooofa. Preserving the colors from the old logo is the only thing going for this. Typographically, it looks like they just grabbed any font and blew it up. If this were in my shop, we would have worked those letterforms to make the shapes more balanced to how they are using them.…

I hope it's 20% less than what the pens for men cost.

What's with the duplication? PBS just aired the BBC version (with Gillian Anderson) only this spring. http://video.pbs.org/video/2192058109/ It seems silly to have a big-budget production on the heels of a very-well received one.

Well at least you have next week's column all ready to go!

Can't wait for this — BBC has been very good (bad for me) about keeping full episodes off YouTube so I've only been able to see clips and read reviews. Miranda Hart is amazing no matter what she does.

Whenever I see the words "ad agency" and "app" in the same sentence, I immediately think "bloated to the point of unusable". (Ditto any app from a publisher.)
