Just two weeks left in the semester, and it's finally starting to feel a bit like spring. We even have little rhubarb shoots and chives making an appearance in our garden. Yippee!
Last week, I had the chance to make one of our family favorites for my parents – this Lazy Sunday Casserole. It was a hit.
We also brought back an old favorite – Philly Cheesesteak Melts. I made the beef in the crockpot and the melts were easy to put together when I got home from work.
But, the best meal of the week went to a new Sweet Potato & Kale Chicken Patty. My sister and I made them last Saturday, and then I made them again on Monday night!
This week I have a lot more new recipes on our menu. Sometimes it's just fun to try new things.

GALESBURG — With a little under half of its overall operating budget being held up in Springfield, developmental disabilities service group KCCDD has had to get creative to stay afloat.

GALESBURG — With a little under half of its overall operating budget being held up in Springfield, developmental disabilities service group KCCDD has had to get creative to stay afloat.
About $2 million of the Galesburg group's $5 million budget has not yet been received, as the state has slowed or completely halted billions of dollars in payments to various state agencies and vendors. For KCCDD to survive, there has been the standard furlough days, stagnant salaries and deferred maintenance. But that hasn't been enough, explained Executive Director Mark Rudolph.
"We have cut everywhere we can," said Rudolph, who since October heads the organization formerly known as the Knox County Council for Developmental Disabilities. "When we have wrung everything out of the towel, we try it again, to see if another drop of water comes out. There is no water left."
According to the Illinois Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, groups like KCCDD statewide are owed $220 million from the state under this year's budget. Many organizations like KCCDD have endured similar cutbacks.
"It's harder to manage the delays," said Janet Stover, president of IARF. "Agencies hold vacancies open. They manage the best they can. It's a standard industry-wide that pay raises cannot be given now."
Pay raises have not been given at KCCDD for five years, and Rudolph said many of its workers receive the minimum wage. For two years, agency staff members have been taking one furlough hour per week, meaning most employees get paid for 39 hours of work. Classroom budgets are down to $100 per class. Community outings and transportation have been severely limited. They've also had to pay $150,000 in interest for a line of credit taken out to keep the agency open during these lean times.
The buildings KCCDD occupies used to be soldiers' barracks during World War II. A new roof is needed. The agency also would like to renovate some of its bathrooms.
"They're beginning to show their age," Rudolph said of the buildings. "If you don't know if that money is coming, it's hard to make investments."
Community fundraisers, the biggest of which is May 4, as well as help from groups such as the United Way have kept the agency open. But its situation won't drastically change for the better unless the General Assembly intervenes.
The group hosted Sen. Darin LaHood, R-Dunlap, last week, and asked the legislator to consider a couple of bills that might help their situation. Officials with KCCDD said LaHood was sympathetic to their cause.
KCCDD officials urged LaHood to consider House Bill 374, which would allow the state to borrow $2 billion to pay some of its outstanding bills. LaHood said he would consider such legislation, if it was tied to a bill that helped Illinois get on a path of fiscal solvency. He said solving the state's pension system problems would go a long way to helping some of these vendors.

Ever since he was a boy, 17-year-old Jonah Kallenbach, of Ambler, has always been incredibly curious.
Kallenbach, a senior at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, was recently selected as one of 40 finalists in the Intel Science Talent Search 2013, a program of Society for Science & the Public and the nation's oldest and most prestigious pre-college science competition.
Former finalists include 1968 winner Roger Tsien, who was awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry, for his discovery and development of the green florescent protein (GFP) with two other chemists: Martin Chalfie and Osama Shimomura.
"This year's Intel Science Talent Search finalists are presenting a wide range of research, from optimizing algae oil for biofuel to developing a new treatment for blood cancer," said Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation. "It's exciting for the future of innovation because the U.S. needs these 40 high school seniors, and others like them, to question, explore and help solve some of the world's greatest challenges."
The 40 finalists were narrowed down from 300 semifinalists and more than 1,700 entrants. This year's finalists will gather in Washington, D.C., For a weeklong event from March 7 to 13. Finalists will compete for $630,000 in awards, with the winner receiving $100,000 from the Intel Foundation.
Allison Kubota, a spokeswoman for Intel Corporation, said Kallenbach submitted an Intel Science Talent Search bioinformatics and genomics project entitled "Characterizing and Identifying Interactions of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins" that breaks new ground in predicting protein binding for drug therapy.
"Proteins are the workhorses of molecular systems in the cell," said Kallenbach. "Once you understand how proteins function and their structure, and even their amino acid sequence, then you have a shot at defeating a lot of diseases that you wouldn't be able to target by random attacks. Hopefully, in the next 20 or 30 years, scientists will be able to construct drugs based on known molecular functions."
"Intrinsically disordered proteins and disordered proteins regions are critical in a number of diseases," said Dr. Gil Alterovitz, a professor at Harvard Medical School. "However, because they cannot be seen using conventional techniques, they are hard to study. By developing a method for predicting interactions between such proteins and others, Jonah's work in our lab presents a fundamental advance in the field – one that can be built upon by other scientists to study how such proteins function and relate to various diseases."
"Jonah solved an open problem first posed several years ago about segments in protein chains called 'disordered regions' that have inconsistent three-dimensional structures," Kubota said. "Jonah's research advanced methods for predicting interactions between disordered regions and their binding partners. He validated his results with proteins coded by the cancer-associated BRCA1 gene. His work may open a new paradigm of drug design, where disordered regions can be used as promising new drug targets, and has already attracted attention from a pharmaceutical company."
Catching the science bug
Kallenbach credits his grandfather for igniting his passion for science.
"Without him I would have never caught the science bug," he said. "I would have never known about how awesome science is and the transformative power that it has."
Neville Kallenbach, Jonah's grandfather, said that when Jonah was 11 years old, he wrote a paper on the string theory and sent it to Brian Greene, a renowned physicist and a specialist in quantum field theory.
The string theory also known as the "theory of everything" (TOE) attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. String theory is based on the idea that elementary particles such as electrons and quarks within an atom are not zero-dimensional objects, but rather one-dimensional oscillating lines ("strings").
Neville Kallenbach, a former chemistry professor at New York University, said that when Jonah was a little kid, if you gave him a puzzle or a riddle he had to figure it out for himself.
"If he didn't know the answer, he would not let you just give him the answer," said his grandfather, a longtime resident of Chestnut Hill. "I used to collect puzzles online and give them to him. He would always figure them out."
But Jonah doesn't fit your typical "science geek." He plays the guitar and is a four-year member of the varsity swim team and water polo team, leads the computer science and ethics clubs and edits the school magazine. And in his spare time, he works as an advisor at the writing center, tutoring students.
"Jonah has a competitive urge," Neville Kallenbach said. "He is very outgoing and social."
The olympics of science
While most teenagers spend their summer lounging by the pool or going to the beach, Jonah spent his summer working with Dr. Alterovitz at MIT.
Sue Johnston, a teacher at Germantown Academy, said the Intel Science Talent Search Award is comparable to the Noble Prize for scientists.
"It's like getting the gold medal at the Olympics," said Johnston. "Kallenbach's project deals with proteins that have a flexible tertiary structure so they can take on more than one conformation, and those are really interesting because they're heavily involved in disease, particularly cancer. Most of the tumor-suppressing proteins, mutations which cause many cancers, are intrinsically disordered so they have those more flexible regions."
Johnston said Kallenbach will be presenting his work to the American Bioinformatics Convention in California in March.
"He will be the only high school student in a sea of doctors," Johnston said.
Prior to being selected as a finalist in this year's Intel Science Search 2013, Jonah Kallenbach worked for three years with two mentors: Sam Litwin, a statistician, and Dr. Roland Dunbrack, a professor, at Fox Chase Cancer Center. At the International Science and Engineering Fairs, Jonah placed third in the world in computers in 2011 and third in the world in mathematics in 2012.

Juan Agudelo Credits Development Academy with Advancing his Game
U.S. Forward, New York Red Bulls Academy Product Reflects on Academy's Influence, Professional Environment
U.S. Forward, New York Red Bulls Academy Product Reflects on Academy's Influence, Professional Environment
FRISCO, Texas – It is hard to believe that U.S. Men's National Team forward and former New York Red Bulls Academy player Juan Agudelo was a member of the Development Academy less than two years ago, with the Chivas USA forward having last played for the Red Bulls' U-17/18 team in 2009-10. With 15 caps and two international goals to his credit, Agudelo has made great strides after building a solid foundation through his time in the Academy.
As the Development Academy Playoffs get into full swing at the FC Dallas Stadium Complex in Frisco, Agudelo is regarded as a shining example of the benefits of the Development Academy program. He was the first Academy player to earn a cap for the senior National Team, scoring in his debut match in November of 2010 against South Africa.
"It doesn't seem like that long ago," Agudelo said following the June 23 MLS match between his Chivas USA side and host FC Dallas. "It's been two years since I was with the Academy team, and I'm just happy to be in the position that I'm in right now, just trying to improve every single day."
The 19-year-old Agudelo has a continually budding future at both the professional level and in international competition, and he credits the Academy's professional qualities as a helpful tool toward developing his game.
"Being in the Academy definitely helped me because that's where I got a little bit of a head start into the professional environment," Agudelo said. "You really are treated like a professional when you're in the Academy. You have more responsibilities and it gets serious. That prepared me."
Agudelo pinpoints U-17/18 head coach Paul O'Donnell as one of his key influences during his Academy days. O'Donnell's 2011-12 team enters the upcoming Academy Playoffs as the Liberty Division champion with a 9-1-0 division record.
"There have been a lot of people who have helped refine my game," Agudelo said. "In the Academy with the New York Red Bulls, there was the coaching staff and the director that helped me a lot. Paul O'Donnell was a coach. He was actually here at the [Chivas USA/FC Dallas game on Saturday]. Those are the people who helped me strive to be more professional than I was. Maybe I was a little bit immature when I was in the Academy, so I got serious and I became focused on the game."
Agudelo is now among a growing group of Academy alumni who are making an impact both in MLS and internationally.
"It's definitely great to see a bunch of players that you have seen come up through the Academy and develop a presence on the professional level," Agudelo said. "It's just awesome because now that we've got this thing going, younger players are having a chance to get seen by the professional teams."
This year marks the fourth edition of the Academy Playoffs, leading up to the fifth Academy Finals Week from July 16-23 in Houston.
"To all the kids taking advantage of the Academy and this opportunity, I would just say to try and improve every single day and every single game," Agudelo said. "Play like it's your last and keep practicing because you love the game."

This was made two weeks ago, during my Easter holidays. No, I wasn't having a wonderful time relaxing, but I was slaving on my Geography coursework (which is now finished, thankfully).
I needed some stress relief. I hadn't baked in ages. So I decided to make bread. You know, the kneading and punching of dough is the best way to vent your frustration, and despite all the arm power used to knead, it is actually very therapeutic.
Many may ask that bread is so easily available at bakeries, why bother spending hours kneading, proofing and shaping just to make a few measly buns? Well, I personally think that fresh, piping hot homemade buns are just the reason why I do it. And, because I still think that being able to make soft, fluffy and tasty bread makes me feel pro, so I'm satisfying my inner ego as well :)
Okay, back to the recipe. Every time I want to make bread, I always turn to Happy Home Baker for her recipes. This time I chose this recipe, which seemed easy enough to make without me needing to run down to the supermarket to buy whipping cream or other ingredients.
So, the final product was wonderful fresh from the oven. The chocolate chips go really well with the refreshing taste of matcha, and the texture of the buns were just what I was looking for. And I'm pretty pleased with the result, maybe because the bottoms were not over baked and didn't turn dark brown. I blame this on my tiny, temperamental oven; sometimes I need to decrease baking temperatures by almost 20'C to get things baking without getting charred!
So, this was my first official food post on this site. Thanks for visiting my blog, and comments are very much appreciated!

We have all heard of needing a vacation
a vacation, and the aches and pains encountered while traveling. It doesn't have to be that way. Even if getting to your vacation destination is less than pleasant, there are ways to decrease the pain and strain on your body. We'll show you how.
It is almost inevitable that you will suffer at least some minor aches and pains while traveling. Lack of activity and keeping your body in the same position for an extended period of time can take its toll on the legs, back, neck, and other parts of the body. Often travelers have little control over their traveling conditions—they might endure long waits, endless hours in a seated or standing position, heavy bags to haul at odd angles, and cramped quarters that don't allow for much movement or stretching.
Below are some of the most common muscle pains you could feel while traveling, as well as tips for preventing and treating these aches and pains.
Regardless of how you get there, you can take steps before you go that may ease your travel pains.
While many travel aches and pain will go away on their own, get medical treatment if you have:

Mom Walks In On Young Bodybuilder Who's Posing In A Thong
Kieren "Flex" Billen, 19, was minding his own business, throwing down some bodybuilding poses in nothing but a thong for his YouTube channel. Before the fantasies of his millions of fans could fully form, however, his adorable mom interrupted the show, leading to an awkward situation for the both of them.
Though Kieren has labeled his mom walking in as the "bodybuilding fail" here, the real fail is filming an otherwise popcorn-worthy moment in portrait mode.
it is hilarious that this is a LGBTQ oriented site, yet people have the time to hate, say degrading non-sense. Listen if you do not like it mind your own business. We welcome all who grown enough to have a mature sense that we are all human there will always be all kind of people, but worse than the diseases some people fight gay or straight, is the disease of discrimination solely on the basis that it makes you uncomfortable. no matter how different we are, we are all human, you your mother, your father, etc. Stay blessed everyone.
One protests too much, and you must be a very powerful person being able to talk for the world. I suggest you check your sources as your views are not representative of me or any of my friends so my little corner of the world isn't repulsed. Indeed is more repulsed by the thought of breathing the same air as a arrogant scum like yourself have a gay day haha xx
This is to the guy that called this sexy poser "ugly looking"!!!
Let see you in something like what this sexy and hott poser is wearing and if you so fine why not wear nothing at all !!!!!!
To the hott and sexy poser; don't pay any mind to the haters!! They are just very jealous and frustrated cause they want your cock/ass but can't have it!!
Let me put these negative ass bitches in their place for you!!!
If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!!! And if you think he's that bad don't fuckin watch him!!!
The ones calling this sexy poser ugly and others being negative, just shut the fuck up!!!
Hey Mr. poser!!! You are so fkn hot and sexy!!! If you ever need/want somewhere to dock your cock, I'm available!!!!
Omg miss thing!!! Calling him ugly looking must mean that you are totally and completely sexy.
Lets see what you got!!! Let's see you out-pose this beautiful poser!!! You are jealous of this totally hot and sexy guy cause you know damn good and well you can never get a guy like him!!! So STFU!!!!
I think it's pretty ridiculous to post a "thanks for copying us" comment publicly. Sure, maybe INSTINCT got the idea from GAILY GRIND. But I posted this video June 16, 2014—and it's a 2-year-old video that nobody else was talking about. A reader tipped me to it. Does that mean GAILY GRIND "copied" me without credit? Maybe. It's also possible that when I posted it, people started sharing it a bit more than they had over the past 2 years and it got shared to the point where someone at GAILY GRIND and then at INSTINCT saw it. INSTINCT often uses stuff I post by posting the entire content and then giving me a "h/t" at the end of it. This means very few hits (unlike the leading links I use in my round-ups), but it does at least give credit for where the inspiration came from. Just my two cents—the "copying" charge is hard to prove, especially when the content is not original to any of us to begin with. I think there's room for all the gay sites. http://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2014/06/selfie-shirtless-muscles.html

Men with prostate cancer face tough choices: when, or even if, to treat their cancer; what procedure to use; and how to balance their chosen treatment with their quality of life. Now, a new multicenter clinical trial seeks to offer men another option – one that physicians hope will treat prostate cancers with fewer side effects.
As part of that trial, City of Hope has become the first center in the nation to perform a new procedure using a focused beam of ultrasound energy to "ablate" the prostate cancer. Traditional treatment approaches, such as surgery and radiation, are potentially very effective in treating prostate cancer – but some men are left facing incontinence or impotence. (Men with very slow-growing cancers may choose a "watch and wait" approach, monitoring the cancer and determining appropriate interventions if they become necessary.)
In this ultrasound ablation technique, the ultrasound is guided by magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, technology, allowing the ultrasound to be delivered very precisely to the site of the cancer. The imaging provides real-time thermal feedback, which helps surgeons determine at the time of the procedure if enough ultrasound was delivered to the targeted area.
"The potential is that if we could provide a focal therapy that has a much lower risk profile compared to standard therapies, this may potentially be an option for men who choose not to 'watch and wait,'" said Jeffrey Wong, M.D., chair of radiation oncology at City of Hope and a primary investigator on the trial. "At this time, the treatment is under trial and still being evaluated."
The technology is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat painful bone metastases, and has been used in other countries to treat prostate cancer.
Jaime Negrette, who lives in Long Beach, was diagnosed with prostate cancer by a PSA test and sought out an alternative treatment to surgery or radiation. He was treated in mid-November. About six months after treatment, Negrette will know more definitively if the treatment was a success – but so far, he's had no side effects and is doing well.
"I've had friends who have been treated for prostate cancer," he said. "Some men have issues that last long after their prostate was removed, so I was very happy to have another choice."
The trial include men with low-risk prostate cancer, with no more than two areas in the prostate gland involved with cancer. The multicenter feasibility trial is ongoing and is expected to be completed in December of this year.
People interested in learning more about clinical trials at City of Hope can find more information on the City of Hope Clinical Trials On-Line website.

GREELEY, Colo.—A quarter-million Coloradans have gotten health insurance cancellation notices; many are complaining about higher premiums in many rural areas; and a new poll reflects deep skepticism in the state about the new health care law.
State insurance officials launched a road tour on Tuesday in Greeley to address some of those issues. But it seems few people were interested in hearing explanations. The handful of confused insurance shoppers who did attend found dozens of empty chairs at the meeting.
Other meetings are planned in southern Colorado and on the Western Slope, where officials have complained their rates are unfairly high.
State Insurance Commissioner Marguerite Salazar greeted the anemic crowd in Greeley with bright points about the new insurance regulations, such as insurance companies not being allowed to reject customers who are already sick. The law, she said, aims to make health insurance more affordable and accessible.
In response to complaints about the new insurance framework, especially confusion about canceled plans and geographic price differences, Salazar said, "A lot of things came about that maybe weren't considered early on, were unintended consequences."
State officials announced earlier this month that nearly 250,000 Coloradans have received insurance cancellation notices because of the new law.
And at the meeting, Salazar explained that health insurers set rates based in part in geography and called it a fairer method than giving everyone in the state the same rates, regardless of how expensive health care is in certain areas.
For example, Garfield County officials have complained that they're included in a high-cost "resort" area, not lower-cost areas to the west. Salazar pointed out that if Garfield County were moved to a lower-cost rating region, premiums would simply go up for their neighbors remaining in the "resort" area.
"We have a lot of complaints from the resort areas. And we truly have to explain that those hospitals do cost a lot more," Salazar said.
Insurance companies, she said, have no choice but to reflect price differences across the state, though she added that the Division of Insurance would review rating areas for 2015 policies.
"They've got to have rates that will allow them to pay the doctors," Salazar said.
Those who attended the meeting had few gripes about price differences or cancellation notices. Instead, they complained about delays in signing up through the state-run insurance shopping place, called Connect For Health Colorado. The complaints involved long waits to complete the mandatory first step and checking for Medicaid eligibility, even when they're certain they won't qualify.
Officials from the exchange offered assurances that the Medicaid step is getting faster.
"We're really working on that," said Lindy Hinman, the exchange's chief operating officer.
One of the attendees in the crowd, Greeley freelance writer Tracy Hume, said after the presentation that her understanding of the insurance system had improved, but the 53-year-old woman remained skeptical of the overall law. Her current insurance, she said, is pricey but valuable.
"I don't think it's going to get better," Hume said of her future insurance prospects.
A poll released Tuesday shows many people share her opinion. The Quinnipiac University poll of Colorado voters showed 40 percent supported the health care law, while 56 percent opposed it. Only 18 percent said they thought their family's health care would be better a year from now because of the new law.
The poll of 1,206 registered voters was taken from Nov. 15-18 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points

I know every blogger and their dog seems to freak out come autumn; but there is a legitimate reason for that. Autumn is breathtaking! I can't get enough of scrolling through my Bloglovin' feed and snooping on page after page of burnt colours and leaf kicking and pumpkin carving and conkers and knitwear. In fact I am lapping it up even more obsessively than usual because last year I skipped town before Autumn hit and my A/W 2013 was spent in, well, sweltering tropical heat. This means I haven't had an autumn since 2012 and that particular gruesome autumn was mostly spent in and out of hospital, and barely participating. Safe to say I have been refreshing the met-office weather app every day, waiting for temperatures to justify the wool tights, woolly jumpers and COATS (ahh lovely coats!) that have sat unloved and unworn for two years. I'm basically delirious because I just ordered my winter coat. What a big decision and one that I used the entire Daylight Savings hour to mull over with a cuppa.
Whilst a fair amount of my autumnal adventures have included misty ramblings around and stomping about the leaf sodden streets; yesterday it was time to give my cold ears and nose a break and plan something of the cosier variety. After accidentally spending 3 weekends in a row away from London (a hen do, a wedding, our wedding planning!) I have been so giddy all week at the prospect of an entire weekend to do whatever I wanted. So yesterday I did my annual trip to brave the city centre for some perusing up Oxford Street, window shopping on South Molton Street and to spend some time shoving my nose up to the Selfridge's Christmas window displays. I had wondered where would be good to grab some brunch or lunch and none of my usual haunts were taking my fancy. I wanted somewhere that felt a bit more special than just grabbing a bacon butty somewhere. I wanted somewhere that wouldn't be heaving, with a queue out the door (I love you Breakfast Club, but you need to have about 100 more tables!) but that would still have a buzzy atmosphere.
So, I have a (probably really silly) confession to make, and that is despite the fact I LOVE hotels – this was one of my first ever blog posts – and am aware that in London we are spoilt by the quality and quantity of them; I've never thought to head to a hotel restaurant for a meal, if I'm not staying at that hotel. In fact (and this is definitely silly) I wasn't even sure you were allowed to go to one, if you weren't staying. So, at the grand old age of 30, I can now share this valuable nugget of information – you are! In fact, it is encouraged! And it is such a great option for exactly my predicament of wanting somewhere to cosy up and while away a weekend in-between shops and scuttling about the streets.
With this new life lesson, I was fortunate enough to be invited by the delightful Fiona to the Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill and their restaurant The Montagu to sample their new slant on traditional brunch; an Italian/New York influenced offering that is more of an experience than a meal. Oh, and did I mention it includes unlimited Bellinis? I am such a big fan of the holy Bellini that when I type it in my phone, Syri autocorrects it to caps lock and with three exclamation points which gives a clue as to how many times I must have written BELLINIS!!!
We had barely stepped foot into The Montagu before a super friendly member of restaurant staff whisked us off by the elbows and toured us around the various treats that laid ahead of us. It was a little bit like walking into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Delicious smells and heaving piles of gorgeous food covered almost every surface surrounding the dining tables. Oh and a lovely man was serenading us on guitar; playing some really haunting covers of blues, swing and jazz classics.
The first stop-off was the deli counter. To take the edge off any shopping starvation you might have entered with; this is an open plan station packed with cured meets, carpaccio, a giant cheese board, every bread you could dream up and glass mason jars of aubergine, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and picky-bits… and you are left to go WILD. I really liked this element to the brunch because it gave the meal a relaxed, luxurious feeling where it was totally acceptable to eat a bit of deli stuff, then something else, then go grazing for more. There is also a salad bar, where the friendly fellows will whisk you up anything that takes your fancy. I went for a Cobb, because I like my cheese to green ratio on the less-healthy side!
As we let our first course settle, we were given the exact amount of space to natter and chatter; but we never felt like we'd been forgotten about, as our attentive waiter was either bringing us square slices of piping hot pizza fresh out of the oven (yknow, just to tide us over through all that exhausting story swapping!) or expertly topping up our glasses.
The main course (you have to love a brunch that has a main course) is a unique offering where we scampered over to a big marble breakfast-bar attached to a vast open plan kitchen, where you can hover around and choose between fresh pastas, pizzas, risotto, steak and salmon. The great thing about the kitchen being right there, is that you have talk to the chefs about what they recommend, you can choose exactly what ingredients you want and then, if you are nosey like me, you can watch them prepare it and try to pick up hints to turn you into a chef too. I had Conchiglie (pasta sea shells to me) with tomato sauce, basil and meatballs. There is something just other-worldly about proper Italian pasta cooked by someone who knows exactly what they are doing! It was actual melt-in-the-mouth good.
Now anyone who knows me can imagine that despite troughing my way through all of this, I really had my mind and my eye on the prize. The pudding prize! As we entered the restaurant I had already clocked the staggering dessert tray and thought "well I just want everything on that". Here is a small sample of the choices that faced me:
After an excessive amount of umming and ahhing, I opted for a slice of NYC style baked cheesecake and a tiramisu; just to be equal opportunities and trying something traditional from both sides of the ocean. The cheesecake was quite simply the best cheesecake I have ever eaten in my life. The vanilla tang, the crunchy super-buttery base and the cake itself being the perfect gooey texture. I feel like I'll never want to order a cheesecake anywhere else in my life because there is no way it can be that good. The tiramisu was dreamy too; I loved the way it was served in a class tumbler, it means all the boozy coffee liquid had pooled at the bottom and just gave it the most amazing potent flavour. I polished both off in record speed despite being so full already. The pudding belly is a totally different thing right?
I couldn't believe it when I realised we had been brunching for almost three hours. We had completely pushed the official brunch-time-limit and passed through lunch and almost into afternoon tea territory. The fact this could happen without even noticing is a testament to the staff and the brunch. I hadn't known what to expect from brunch at a 5* hotel; and worried it could feel stuffy. Instead, I felt totally relaxed. I absolutely loved the mixture of food you could choose yourself and create exactly what your heart desired, versus the food that the expert chefs could whip up. It meant that the experience felt really special, and like I was made a real fuss of, but it also felt really welcoming and intimate. Everyone we came into contact with was genuinely friendly, chatty and completely focused on making the occasion as dazzling as possible.
I am already trying to look ahead at my calendar of when I can go again; as I only had the stomach-space to try about a quarter of the delicacies on offer. The Montagu Italian meets New York Champagne Brunch is £39 a head; and that includes the unlimited bellini/champagne top ups and as much munch as you can muster. The Montagu also do something amazingly called "Sex & The City Par-Tea" which says it all really. I desperately want to take Lol; as she knows every word of every episode so could entertain me whilst we ate shoe shaped biscuits, by doing a one-woman performance of seasons 1-6! Thank you so much to Fiona and the staff at The Hyatt Regency Churchill and The Montagu for hosting me and treating me to such a marvellous menu.
On the way out, I mentioned how the cheesecake had been the best I had ever had in my life, and an incredibly generous chap boxed up THREE slices for me to take home and so Nick could try some, rather than have me just describe how amazing it was.
Now I am back home and whilst it's great to have an extra hour of weekending, I feel a bit distressed about why there isn't someone here to constantly top up my glass with BELLINI!!!

Retro retail a hot fashion item
The scandals and scoundrels of vintage dramas make for gripping viewing.
Shows such as Downton Abbey and Boardwalk Empire and movies such as the upcoming The Great Gatsby put the spotlight on the retro realm. So now could be a boom time for swinging fashion retailers with one foot suavely planted in the flapper age.
Meet vintage fashion start-up guru Bronny Fallens. Based in Brighton, Melbourne, Fallens has three staff and two angles on the hot trend: one her eBay vintage shop, Bronny's Closet, the other her fashion discussion hub AskBronny.com.
The avid vintage fan injects money into buying clothes for AskBronny "all the time", mostly getting garments from op shops.
"I try to go once a week to find treasures," the Melbourne University music graduate says. She also visits outsourcing factories that get items from overseas.
But, in that cut-price sphere, tracking down attractive items is a very competitive game.
Trying her luck at op shops where everyday people throw items is a better bet, she says, adding that finding good '20s age clothes remains incredibly tough because they are rare.
"You have to really scour the shops or the recycling outlets," she says. Alternatively, you can buy online from Britain and America at a premium. Or try browsing the vintage clothes sold by the giant boutique Freepeople.com, the marketing industry veteran suggests.
Indicating what she earns, she says she maintains a steady stream of sales and continually re-stocks purchased items.
Her favourite is a beautiful circa 1930 housecoat. "So glamorous: I just love it!" she says, adding that for her, wearing classic gear ripe for "re-loving" is a way of life. "I've been scouring the op shops since I was a kid." Now, the chief challenge she faces is just finding good pieces to market. Meanwhile, she focuses on keeping going and sinking sales.
Her top business tip is simple: "Work hard, be prepared to work 24/7 and be attached to your smartphone. Try everything and anything. Network. Listen to other people who have been successful. Look for investors if you can."
One perhaps easily missed selling point of Roaring Twenties fashion is its green recycling slant, highlighted by Sydney fashionista Juliet Potter, who runs the agency Girl PR, which stages charity-oriented pop-up fringe fashion swap shopping events monthly on William Street, Paddington.
Potter paints the rise of vintage as political - a statement by fashion-conscious types opposed to mainstream consumerism and waste.
"Everything old is new again," she says, adding that the popularity of the song Thrift Shop by the Seattle rapper Macklemore sums the retro mood up perfectly.
The hot jazz age garments now are summer print dresses and cropped vests, she says. She adds that the choice of vintage clothes in general is "endless". Her four-strong retro sales team draws on wardrobe items personally amassed over the years and finds plucked from markets, Vinnies and other thrift stores.
Potter's fashion hunters base their buying decisions on each item's stitch, brand and degree of wear and tear. "All tell a story," she says.
Three tips on running a successful vintage store:
1. Quality counts: The rise in popularity of vintage fashion isn't a fad – stars regularly wear vintage designer gowns to collect Oscars.
Stylists and fashion editors scour auction houses across the globe for rare couture pieces, and teenagers wake early on weekends to bag the best buys at their local flea market. Vintage is loved because it is unique, economical, environmentally friendly and timeless – in terms of fashion longevity and in physically standing the test of time. So quality is vital when buying or selling vintage – savvy consumers search for high-quality design, construction and materials.
2. Use social media: Whether you are operating online or from a bricks-and-mortar store, social media is an invaluable tool for finding and retaining your customers. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest are great for cost-effective brand promotion, driving sales and interacting with consumers.
3. Go global: Using selling platforms like Etsy can be fantastic for reaching a global market without spending a fortune on search engine optimisation or advertising. You have access to a built-in audience interested in your product and with money to spend.
Plus, the community-based structure lets you connect with industry figures from around the world.

As you surely have heard by now, David Petraeus, former commander of the Afghanistan war, resigned as Director of the CIA on Friday after the FBI inadvertently discovered that he was having an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. You may have also heard that Petraeus's philandering was uncovered thanks to "Gmail location data." Problem is, that's not entirely accurate.
Petraeus's undoing, the Cliffs Notes version
In case you're not yet up to speed with this whole Petraeus thing, here's a quick overview of what happened: Last summer, the FBI received a report from a woman named Jill Kelley, 37, an "influential" person in Tampa, Florida, which is home to the U.S. military's Central Command (CENTCOM), that someone was sending her "harassing" emails. The mysterious sender was telling Kelley to "back off" and "stay away" from an unnamed man. Kelley wanted the FBI to find out if a cybercrime was being committed.
Because Kelley was a friend of members of the law enforcement agency, the FBI obliged: It found that the emails were sent from an anonymous Gmail address, which they eventually confirmed belonged to Broadwell and her husband, who live in North Carolina. The FBI then gained access to Broadwell's other email accounts, and found sexually explicit emails coming from another anonymous Gmail user, who they would later discover was Petraeus himself.
From the Wall Street Journal:
[The FBI] learned that Ms. Broadwell and Mr. Petraeus had set up private Gmail accounts to use for their communications, which included explicit details of a sexual nature, according to U.S. officials. But because Mr. Petraeus used a pseudonym, agents doing the monitoring didn't immediately uncover that he was the one communicating with Ms. Broadwell.
By late summer, after the monitoring of Ms. Broadwell's emails uncovered the link to Mr. Petraeus, prosecutors and agents alerted senior officials at FBI and the Justice Department, including Mr. Holder, U.S. officials say. The investigators never monitored Mr. Petraeus's email accounts, the officials say.
Metadata = megascrewed
The reason the FBI was able to figure out the identities of Broadwell and Petraeus was, at least in part, due to so-called metadata that is embedded in every email we send. The information contained in email metadata differs depending on which service is used; however, most email metadata includes sender email address, recipient email address, date and time that the email was sent, and IP addresses associated with sending and delivery of the email.
It is this last bit of info – IP addresses – that would have told the FBI where the various damning emails were coming from.
Outlook, not Gmail
This is what led Wired, Gizmodo, and (at least at first) The Atlantic to run stories implicating "Gmail location data" as the key detail that led to Petraeus's downfall. But here's the thing: Gmail does not display a sender's IP address in its email metadata when an email is sent through Gmail's website. And it hasn't done so for at least the past four years – meaning it didn't do so when Broadwell and Petraeus were sending each other secret love letters. (The Atlantic later updated its article to put less of the onus on Gmail.)
To confirm this, we sent ourselves a number of emails from various email addresses, starting with an email from and to the same Gmail account. We then took a look at the email "header," the part of the message that contains all the juicy forensics data, but which is usually automatically hidden from most email users through the email user interface.
To access the header of any Gmail email, simply click the down arrow icon that appears next to the "reply" arrow in any Gmail message. Then click "Show Original." This will give you that email message in its raw form, with the email header taking up a big chunk of space at the top, before the actual message.
Now, as you can see in the image below, the only IP address listed in the header of our email sent from Gmail's website is 10.112.138.165. This is not your author's IP address; it is the IP address of a Google server. In other words, when you send an email through Gmail.com, Google acts as a proxy, effectively hiding your location.
If, on the other hand, you send an email from a Gmail address – but rather than use Gmail.com, you do so through an email client like Microsoft Outlook – then your actual IP address will be added to the email header, thus allowing the FBI (or anyone else) to easily find out the physical location from which that email originated.
The same is true for Gmail emails sent from Apple's Mail client for OS X, as well as Mozilla's Thunderbird email client.
Below is what the email header sent from your author's Gmail address to the same address looks like when using Outlook instead of Gmail.com to send an email:
The blurred out parts of the text is your author's home IP address (plus local Internet service provider info). And the reason it's blurred out is because anyone could type that IP address into a wide variety of Web tools, and instantly discover with terrifying accuracy where your author is currently writing in his dog hair-covered sweatpants.
The only real question that remains for Petraeus now – at least as far as his email habits go – is whether he's a Mac or a PC. Given his extensive government service, we're going to go with PC, which would likely mean that Microsoft Outlook is to blame for his secret getting out.
What this means for you
Most of us are never going to hold a high-level position in the U.S. government, nor will we be investigated by the FBI. So the differences between sending a Gmail email using Gmail.com or a desktop mail client are probably not that important. If, however, you want to be particularly covert in the emails you send, then your best bet is to use the Gmail website for your email communications.

text: Antiques + CollectingAuction Results from Doyle, Bonhams, Sotheby's and moreGallery5 SlidesKey results and fascinating finds from around the worldBy Samuel CochranApril 1, 2013FacebookPinterestTwitterPinterest1/5Petit Éléphant au Repos,* 1913, by Rembrandt BugattiSold at Doyle New York, "Belle Epoque: 19th & 20th Century Decorative Arts" (New York, February 6)Provenance drove the bidding for this bronze figurine, which belonged to heiress Consuelo Vanderbilt Earl (a descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt). The 8"-tall sculpture brought $180,000—triple its high estimate. "Bugatti works are very scarce," says Doyle specialist Malcolm MacNeil. "He had a short life and his output was limited." This piece comes from a planned edition of 20, though it's unknown whether that many were produced. One formerly owned by Louis Comfort Tiffany sold for $130,000 in 2011.Pinterest2/5Untitled,* 2006, by Wade GuytonSold at Christie's, "Post-War & Contemporary Art" (London, February 13)Prices for works by Guyton have skyrocketed lately, buoyed by his recent midcareer survey at New York's Whitney Museum of American Art. This abstract canvas—dragged in signature fashion through an ink-jet printer—set a new auction record for the artist, realizing $960,000 against a high estimate of $547,000. Just three years ago a comparable piece from the same series hammered for $148,500.See AD's piece on then-up-and-comer, Guyton, in our May 2012 issue.Pinterest3/5Femme Assise Près d'Une Fenêtre,* 1932, by Pablo PicassoSold at Sotheby's, "Impressionist and Modern Art" (London, February 5)The thinning market for Impressionist and modern art continues to recalibrate, with collectors from Russia and China (among other places) helping to boost prices for increasingly rare top-end works. A telephone buyer snagged this 1932 portrait by Picasso of his lover and muse Marie-Thérèse Walter, carried out in his hallmark early-'30s style. "These paintings are the most sought after of his works," says Sotheby's specialist Helena Newman. It sold for $40.1 million, just surpassing its $39.3 million low estimate but leading the night's sale.Pinterest4/519th-Century Russian UrnSold at Bonhams, "Fine American & European Furniture, Silver & Decorative Arts" (New York, January 24)Expectations were initially modest for this work of Russian Imperial porcelain. The double-handled vessel had been retrofitted as a lamp, an alteration that accounted for its humble $3,000–$5,000 estimate. Interest soared, however, when (two days prior to the auction) experts were able to safely remove the electrical mounts, restoring the piece to pristine condition. An intense bidding war ensued, ushering the price to an astounding $125,000.Pinterest5/5Korean Folding Screen, Yi DynastySold at James D. Julia Auctioneers, "Antiques, Asian & Fine Art" (Fairfield, Maine, January 30–February 1)Collectors from around the world—museum representatives among them—descended on the sale to vie for this ten-panel screen, which dates from the 18th or 19th century. "Usually a piece like this would be executed in a distinctly cartoonish style, but the painting here transcends folk art to the level of fine art," says Jim Callahan, who heads the auction house's Asian department. In hopes of attracting buyers on-site, he set the estimate at a mere $3,000–$5,000. The tactic proved shrewd: The lot ultimately went to a Korean bidder in the audience for a jaw-dropping $525,000.ExploreShoppingauctionsArtshop

31243, Hymns, The Morning Breaks, no. 1
1. The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
Lo, Zion's standard is unfurled!
The dawning of a brighter day,
The dawning of a brighter day
Majestic rises on the world.
2. The clouds of error disappear
Before the rays of truth divine;
The glory bursting from afar,
The glory bursting from afar
Wide o'er the nations soon will shine.
3. The Gentile fulness now comes in,
And Israel's blessings are at hand.
Lo, Judah's remnant, cleansed from sin,
Lo, Judah's remnant, cleansed from sin,
Shall in their promised Canaan stand.
4. Jehovah speaks! Let earth give ear,
And Gentile nations turn and live.
His mighty arm is making bare,
His mighty arm is making bare
His cov'nant people to receive.
5. Angels from heav'n and truth from earth
Have met, and both have record borne;
Thus Zion's light is bursting forth,
Thus Zion's light is bursting forth
To bring her ransomed children home.

John L. Allen Jr., the go-to guy in journalism for insights about the Vatican, has an interesting article in the National Catholic Reporter about the Obama administration's vexed attempt to name a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican now that the post is vacant. Allen writes:
"Obama's choice for a replacement is being closely watched in Rome, according to one senior Vatican diplomat, because it signals what kind of relationship Obama wants to have during his second term. Filling the slot tends to be a special headache for Democratic presidents because they have to find somebody who can pass muster both with their party and with the Vatican. The custom that it has to be a Catholic complicates things further, because it's not just a candidate's policy positions that might cause problems, but his or her internal standing in the church."
The choice is complicated by the administration's fraught relationship with the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, which has accused Obama of waging a war against religious freedom. Conservative Catholics are already carping about some potential candidates, including Nicholas Cafardi, the former dean of the Duquesne University Law School in Pittsburgh and a distinguished canon lawyer.
The Cardinal Newman Society, a right-wing group named after a famously liberal clergyman, noted disapprovingly on its website that Cafardi had "accused some bishops of vexing and oppressing people, electioneering and lobbying, and attempting to take away people's constitutional rights." (Cafardi had written an article criticizing an Illinois bishop who had compared the "extreme secularist agenda" of President Obama with the anti-Catholic programs of, among others, Hitler and Stalin. Cafardi called this "electioneering" and pointed out that churches can lose their tax-exempt status by taking sides in elections.)

The place is a small town in New Jersey. The time is the present, and the main character is Kimberly (Sonya Aiko Hearn). Afflicted with progeria, a rare genetic disorder that causes premature aging, Kimberly is a high school girl on the outside, an old lady on the inside.
When she turns to family for support, we meet a collection of self-absorbed wackos. Her mother, Pattie (Nancy Bennett), is very pregnant and a hypochondriac. Her arms are taped at the elbows to treat carpal tunnel. Pattie is ashamed of Kimberly and ignores her as she fumbles to tape-record messages to her unborn child.
Her father, Buddy (Michael Fallon), is a drunk with a dead-end job. He is obsessed with protecting Kimberly's virginity. ("Hey, dad, I'm post-menstrual," says Kimberly.) Aunt Debra (Jen Adams) is a lesbian ex-convict who tries to recruit Kimberly into a check cashing scam. (At one point, Debra drags a stolen mail box into the living room.)
Finding herself a discarded bystander, Kimberly reaches out to Jeff (Matthew C. Thompson), a nerdy fellow high school student with a penchant for zany anagrams. ("Mother-in-law" becomes "Hitler woman." "Kimberly Levaco" scrambles to "cleverly akimbo.")
"Kimberly" is well directed by Janet Toczek. Scenes are staged with an air of respectful simplicity, as though there were nothing odd going on. The tongue-in-cheek tone carries over into the acting, where cast members are uniformly superb in their comedic understatement.
This is all very apt because these characters believe in their own normality. The show also uses modern art wall panels and jazz music between scenes to underscore that this is modern America. (Sound design, Patrick Martin; Set design, Tony Kenney and Yaga Brady.) The sly insinuation of both play and production is that the itch for self-absorbed craziness is becoming a new norm.
At first we are stupefied by this family of kooks. But we come to realize that the confusion we feel is that of Kimberly herself. It all clears up in the second act when she resolves to take action. In a play full of surprises, watching Kimberly try to grab the brass ring is the biggest one of all.
Playwright Lindsay-Abaire is not a cynic. His play "Rabbit Hole" won the Pulitzer in 2007, and without breaking his tone of absurd comedy, his unlikely heroes struggle to win redemption. Seeing Kimberly rise up to challenge her fate is strangely uplifting. You leave the theater thinking, gosh, if she can do it, maybe I can too. I am glad I saw it.
Stagecrafters is located at 8130 Germantown Ave. "Kimberly Akimbo" will run through Sept. 25. Reservations at 215-247-9913.

Hello again, I have a question that isn't about your blog. Do you think that "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shrier is accurate and therefore dependable for study today?
- Miland said...
I think this is a good work and certainly a nice source for studying the Nazis. Is it accurate? Mostly. I am sure there are mistakes and ommissions that any author invariably makes when completing a work of this size.

You'll Also Be Required To Purchase A Brown Corduroy Jacket With Patches On The Elbows
Brings back memories, like a particularly garlicky meal does.
I was the manager of a very young Project Manager a while back. Nice kid. He was fresh out of school, and he was a freaking pinball wizard with AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a drawing program used by architects now. Very powerful; the full version is incredibly daunting when you first look at it. He would work the mouse and keyboard like he was playing Halo, which he also liked to do. I was in awe of that kid.
His mother needed a bathroom addition, and he had never designed a residential anything. It was all commercial work in school and at our job. As a favor, I drew him a few pages of drawings that he needed to give to the building inspector to get the building permit. He sat there dumbfounded looking at them, because they were drawn by hand, in pencil, and he'd never seen such a thing. He thought I was freaking Merlin.
People still do things with their hands from time to time. Try it, it's fun.

You should have shown him a manual typewriter. Maybe even a really old one which lifts the platen for capital letters (I used to have a old Underwood--patent of 1913).

I washed out of drafting in '63, due to bad lettering ability. I was 13, and got better later. In '79 I took my first CAD class and really liked how well text was handled, even on the early systems.
I use Autocad now, another brand of 3D solids modeling and toolpath generators, but might have missed all of that had I not seen the beauty of uniform text and dimensions that are possible with CAD.
I have heard, but don't know this for a fact, that there are some building inspection offices that only accept CAD drawings now. I can still draw by hand, still have a table and swing arm, but based on results, I will always use Autocad first.

I have two, yes, two corduroy jackets with the obligatory leather elbow patches in 'honey' and 'bronze' sized forty regular if anyone is in need. If you really want to freak a young'un out--count out change to them without a calculator!! It boggles their minds.

There are a lot of unplanned events that can happen any given day in my line of work.
Sudden word that the underground crew pooched the grade on that storm drain line? I can deal with that.
The originating survey and topographic map show the Amalgamated Bank Tower three inches east of where it really is? I can make our connections work.
The architect shows up on site with his assistant, and they have a plan roll with them...
I clear at least the next four hours of my schedule, and make sure that my project engineer has lines open to both our structural engineer and materials detailer.
Architects. Oh my.

I'm an old school draftsman---cartographic and civil. I could Leroy letter as fast as most people could hand-letter.
One company I worked for had a bastard IBM Engineering typewriter with a 40" wide carriage and proportional spacing in all uppercase lettering. M and W took up four spaces, I and the number 1 took up one space, all other letters had two or three spaces.
Everything was dandy if you only typed forward, but woe unto you if you needed to backspace to center some text or correct a mistake!
When the engineers found out I could use this typewriter, they made me the Crown Princess of the Office and begged me to use it on their drawings, because they thought it made them look more modern!
My all-time favorite:
At a relatively prominent engineering college, an ECAC hockey powerhouse, in upstate NY, in a darling St. Lawrence County village; that shall go nameless -- the relatively prominent engineering college fathers' built a new rink/athletic center/student union.
I attended a game there while home for Christmas.
The main entrance to the rink, under an "interesting" roof line and eave system, was yellow-taped-off herding fans into only one of the several doors. Signs were posted which said: "Caution. Falling Ice Danger."

In 7th grade (1965-66), I took a 'mechanical drawing' class. I loved it because (a) the hand lettering I did looked a whole lot better than my wretched script handwriting, and (b) I loved figuring out and drawing exploded 3-d drawings of complex shapes. I got a pretty good grade in the class (B+ or so) because I could crank out drawings faster than anyone else; what kept me from an A was that I tended to be a bit sloppy.
I might have gone into architecture, but the next year I took Shop and nearly flunked the class, having absolutely no aptitude for actually working with physical materials.
This pattern would be played out again in college. I started out as a microbiology major; in first year chemistry, I did brilliantly on the tests, but I tended to be sloppy and inconsistent in the labs. So I switched over to computer science, where it was far easier to throw out/reverse mistakes. Been an IT geek ever since. ..bruce..

Hey Lloyd, your bracket on the grill emblem looks to be installed wrong. Shouldn't it be flipped around? Was it this way on the RS grills?
Quote from: 69Z28 on September 23, 2013, 07:39:20 PMHey Lloyd, your bracket on the grill emblem looks to be installed wrong. Shouldn't it be flipped around? Was it this way on the RS grills?I think Lloyd's emblem retainer is flipped and rotated, as it should be 'square' with the grill, and with the 'lips' registered around the grill bars.
I've tried to post this subject twice, but it didn't appear to show up on the discussion board. I apologize if it's redundant or if it has been discussed before. I was looking through some of my old parts stash over the weekend & noticed that the original grilles all had round ejector pin scars behind the rectangular cut outs in the grille. In fact, a couple of the ejector pins must have been removed from the mold in one of the grilles, because a long plastic projection was left on the part where the ejector pin should have been. I've always looked for the "bone" colored plastic to ID original grilles - is this another way of IDing them? ( i.e - looking for the round ejector pins?). I don't believe that I have seen the round pins in that location on repro grilles.

But this? THIS you can do! Easy shmeesy. And the possibilities will shock you. Seriously...read on my friend.
First find some beans-mine are old from food storage and apparently Gus Gus (our furry, uninvited, can-not-trap-to save-our-lives, definitely smarter than a 5th grader, mouse) found my beans and had his way with them.
Gross. I almost didn't even do this project because I couldn't get the gag out of my throat.
Ewww. Let's get started. This project is CHEAP. You can buy decorative balls at the store anywhere from $10-15 (at least) and this will cost you less than half that!
Price breakdown: I bought a pack of 6 styrofoam balls from Michaels for $2.99 (using a 40% off coupon) making each ball .50. If you don't already have beans you can pick some up at a grocery store for about .78-1.58 a bag depending on the type of bean you use. You'll probably use a little less than 1/4 of a bag per ball. To do all 6 balls it will cost you about $4.50(or less)!
First you'll want to spray paint your styrofoam with a light coat, the same color of the bean your using. No matter how close you put the beans some white will show though. It doesn't look terrible this way so if you don't want to buy spray paint (about $3 a can) it'll still turn out ok. I'm just
I like to start in the middle of my ball and work down. Put a small strip of hot glue across...
and start laying down your beans. One by one by one.
Until you reach back to the bean you started with making a full circle.
Start the next row by placing the bean in the middle gap of the 2 beans on top of it, like so:
I burned my fingers a few times and I'm pretty sure I cursed in 3 different languages, so heads up...watch your fingers. See how I got your back?
Half way done!
Once you've completed that half flip it over and start gluing the bottom half.
(and of course it helps to have a handsome helper)
Almost done!
WaLaa! And can we all notice that I used every bean I had poured on the plate at the beginning minus one. YOU are lucky to be my friend because that makes me pretty awesome.
Now get ready to have your mind blown pretty ladies. Endless possibilities await you in the form of a can. Spray paint will change your life. I had done black, red and green colored beans for my kitchen, but I wanted some brown ones for my living room. After searching for a dark brown bean and coming up empty-handed I opted to do an all white bean...
and cover it with this rich chocolate brown color (not the actual name of the paint). Um love.
Are you understanding what this means? How awesome would some gorgeous turquoise balls be for a fun pop of color in your living room/bedroom, or silver and red for Christmas, or HELLO red, white and blue for 4th of July, or Hot pink for a little girls room?!?! I can barely breathe I'm so excited!
And the fun doesn't stop there! There are million and one ways you could display these! Like in a cool bowl...
Or how bout a glass pitcher?! (ps this totally blew my husbands mind...he could not wrap his brain around putting a decoration in something we drink out of. pshh.)
Or maybe stacked up in a tall vase (pronounced v-A-se not vaaaa-se because I'm not classy like that).
Fun right?!?! NOT overwhelming right?!?! Go! Make some! I really think you'll love it and if you do take the plunge PLEASE let me know because I would be tickled pink to have you copy me so I could show you off!
So my dears, I leave you with this piece of wisdom...keep calm and glue on. Next up for you...PASTA!
Have a SWEETLY LOVELY day today! Thank you thank you for stopping by, and don't forget to stop by and check out my first GIVEAWAY!

Carbon-offset your trip
When you carbon-offset your flight, you pay to offset greenhouse gas emissions. The money goes to climate projects in developing countries and contributes to sustainable development.
Swedavia has been carbon-neutral since 2006, which means we invest in measures to continually reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The company also carbon-offsets emissions we have not yet managed to reduce.
You can do the same, by using Tricorona's service below, and carbon-offset your flight. In that way, you make a contribution to two selected projects in India and China.
Carbon-offset your trip here (in Swedish only).

Encircled by the gorgeous Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges, Miller Motorsports Park has some of the most dramatic backdrops out of all the World Superbike venues, though coupled with the track's 4,000+ foot elevation, the weather can be wet and cold at times. Such words were probably an understatement for the conditions on Sunday, as frigid temperatures and rain prevailed in the day's earlier sessions. Realizing that some Superpole qualifying was scheduled for later though, the weather gods appeased the American crowd, who had been braving the conditions, and quickly dried the track for World Superbike qualifying.
Down on power at the very fast track, the Ducatis of Smrz and Checa surprised everyone with their dominance on the time sheets. Of course, Tom Sykes could not be counted out from the qualifying fun, as the Englishman has taken four of the past five pole positions. One of only two stops on the WSBK calendar that is outside of Europe, American fans were treated on this Memorial Day weekend to some fine qualifying, which included some upsets. Results after the jump.

Your source for Temecula, CA and Southwest Riverside County lifestyle, events, & area information
Per the report from the National Forest Service InciWeb site:
The Riverside County Sheriffs Department, in cooperation with the CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department/OES and Idyllwild Fire Protection District, is lifting the Evacuation Order for the communities of Idyllwild and Fern Valley, and rescinding the Evacuation Warning for Pine Cove as of 11:00 AM today.
Only local residents and business owners in these effected areas will be allowed to repopulate. No visitors will be allowed into the area until after 11:00 PM.
Fire Officials have determined the threat to the community from the 27,245 acre wildfire has been diminished due to increased containment and rainfall at the higher elevations.
Firefighting personnel and equipment are still working in and around the affected areas and the Mountain communities. Residents are encouraged to please use caution while driving back into the area and resuming day-to-day activities. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department will continue security patrols in Idyllwild, Pine Cove, and surrounding communities as they repopulate and settle.
– Residents and business owners returning must do so through the Repopulation Distribution Centers to ensure residents have priority entry. Residents and business owners will receive an access pass to prevent unnecessary hazards and delays in the effected areas.
– Residents and business owners need to check-in at one of three Distribution Centers to receive an access pass. The Riverside Sheriffs Department will issue a resident and/or business owner/employee pass, which must be displayed in order to re-enter the evacuated areas.
– Proper identification will be required showing residency in the affected communities and must be shown at the Distribution Center. This includes, but is not limited to, a California Drivers License/Identification Card, utility bill (plus Photo ID), or proof of employment. Special requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
– Distribution Centers are located at:
Lake Hemet Market, 56571 State Highway 74, Mountain Center, CA 92561
Banning High School, 100 W. Westward Ave, Banning, CA 92220
Cranston Forest Service Station #54, Highway 74 and Rouse Hill Truck Trail, Hemet, CA
Forest Closures:
The San Bernardino National Forest Closure Order #13-9 is still in effect and can be viewed at http://www.fs.usda.gov/sbnf Humber Park will also remain closed.
Road Closures:
Highway 243 will remain closed to the general public until 11:00PM. Residents with passes provided from an approved Distribution Center, as identified above will be allowed access through this road closure.
Every attempt is being made to safely return residents to the Idyllwild, Fern Valley and Pine Cove communities. Fire and law enforcement officials want to thank those affected by this evacuation for their safe and efficient evacuation and patience while the Mountain Fire posed a threat to their homes, infrastructure and communities as a whole. Residents returning to their homes should stay informed on the fires status, as conditions can change depending on weather and fire conditions.
Please use 911 only for an emergency. We have had numerous calls placed to 911 that make it harder for emergency personnel to respond to actual emergencies.
For Fire Information: 909-383-5688

Microsoft CEO and billionaire Steve Ballmer and San Francisco hedge fund manager Chris Hanson are leading a group that will pay around $500 million to buy the NBA's Sacramento Kings from the Maloof family and move the team to Seattle, according to Yahoo!
The Maloofs have been trying to get taxpayers to pay for a new arena in Sacramento for years to replace the antiquated Sleep Train Arena, to no avail. A year ago we valued the Kings at $300 million, 23rd out of the league's 30 teams, based on their current arena.
As part of the move to Seattle, the team will play in KeyArena (the former home of the SuperSonics) for two seasons (which they hope to renovate), then move into a modern, $490 million arena that they will operate, with more suites and other revenue-generating amenities. The Kings will also likely get a much more lucrative local television deal in Seattle. They currently get less than $12 million a year.
The Maloofs have also been struggling with their casino business during the economic downturn, and were recently trying to restructure debt on the Palms Casino Resort. The Maloofs could still own a small stake in the Kings after the deal, which has yet to be finalized.
Hedge fund managers have been buying sports properties with gusto recently. Joshua Harris lead a group that purchased the 76ers of the NBA in 2011 . Most Wall Streeters have generated very good returns on their teams, generally beating the stock market by a wide margin over comparable periods.
In Seattle, Ballmer would be joining another Microsoft billionaire, Paul Allen, the software maker's co-founder, who owns the NFL's Seahawks.
If the deal is completed and the Kings move to Seattle, the Maloofs will have to pay the city of Sacramento around $77 million to cover a loan Sacramento made to the Kings in July 1997, two years before the Maloofs bought the franchise.

All the effort that's gone into the West Side of Baltimore's downtown pales in comparison to the vitality of Inner Harbor East, Fells Point, Canton and Brewers Hill. People live, work and play there.
This is the magic of good planning and a little luck. We now have the opportunity, with the prospect of Harbor Point, to continue and expand on this Baltimore success story.
To those who say "we can't afford it," I say: "We can't not afford it."
