'Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss Bashing Her Ex-Husband Is Bad Form

elisabeth mossThe usually classy Elisabeth Moss (Peggy on Mad Men) has been a closed book when it comes to talking about her very short marriage to Saturday Night Live star Fred Armisen. But she recently opened up about their divorce for the first time, and what she had to say about him was the opposite of nice:

"One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.' To me, that sums it up."

Eeps! So much for taking the high road. You certainly can't blame her for being angry -- especially given all the nasty rumors that Arimsen's cheating had led to their split. Still, publicly bashing your ex is a delicate matter, and this might not have been the best time or place to dish on how "abnormal" this dude is.

Steve JobsSuch sad news about Steve Jobs, the Apple Inc. founder whose innovative mind has so dramatically reshaped our world: He died Wednesday, at age 56, after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer. But as I read the many obituaries and tributes rapidly spreading across the web, on a computer that he invented, I'm struck not only by how much his work has affected our lives, but also by how little we knew about the way Jobs, an intensely private man, lived his own life.

Here are five things you might not have known about Steve Jobs:

Summer Grilling Guide

bbq sauce taste testLabor Day may signal the inevitable end of summer, but we've still got a few good months of grilling and cookouts left to go. We're here to make sure you don't waste them by slathering bad BBQ sauce on perfectly good meat. That's why we embarked on a blind taste test of eight different supermarket BBQ sauces to see which one is the most flavorful and deserving of your ribs, chicken, and pork. As it turns out, there was one sauce in particular that completely blew all the other competitors away.

Any idea which one it could be?

Back to School - Kids' Health

Spinal x-rayFor the past three years, since a routine middle school screening detected a slight spinal curvature, my son has had semi-annual appointments with a pediatric orthopedist. Through repeated physical exams and spinal X-rays, my son's curvature has remained mild. But potential progression of his adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is riskiest as he goes through puberty and experiences growth spurts.

But now there's a new prognostic test, ScoliScore, developed by Axial Biotech Inc. Based on DNA analysis, the test can help predict whether or not your child’s mild scoliosis is at risk of becoming severe.

No Cure for Common Cold – Or Whiny Men

Cold & Flu Guide

cold medicineAttention everyone! I've got breaking news! There is no cure for the common cold.  No, really, there is absolutely 100% no cure. Want some more grand news? Nothing really works to get rid of a cold or shorten the duration of it.

You and I may have know this in some realm of out subconscious, but we still head to the Walgreen's to grab something, anything to try to ease our symptoms. The over-the-counter cold and cough meds, echinacea, Vitamin C, tea, garlic, zinc lozenges, well, really none of them do anything. They kinda do diddly-squat. Together, we spend $4.2 billion a year on diddly-squat. 

Even Nana's chicken soup just tastes good -- no real proof it cures the sniffles. Sure, using some of these could make you think you feel better, but really the only thing that helps get over a cold is time. 

You realize what this means, don't you? If there's no cure for the common cold, that means there's no cure for the man cold.
