Burnin' Up

The Jo Bros have been quiet lately.  A little too quiet as I had almost forgotten them.  When they first came on the scene they elicited Beatles-like mania.  Now those fans are older, wiser and probably still just as gaga.  With Kevin getting married and Nick Jonas putting together his own solo career you can't help but wonder if these guys were the thing for a few years and now their thing has passed. 
Out of the three Nick has the greatest potential of making it long term.  He's been on Broadway, writes most of the band's music, and has the most talent out of the three.  Kevin and Joe can't act so if they have aspirations there they should let those dreams go and focus on music which they are good at.  They've done more than the Hanson Brothers did a few years back and have made a much bigger splash so only time will tell if they have sustainability.  But I'll tell you what, look for Nick Jonas to make a name for himself - kind of like how MJ broke from Jackson 5 and made a name for himself.  Although I'm hopeful Nick Jonas doesn't follow any more of MJ's footsteps!  Just sayin'!

Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
