"Christians make me vomit."
"Goths make me vomit"
"I make me vomit"
Decius (a good, solid 'decisive' name) had something of a truncated career as Roman Emperor in 3rd century Rome. He lasted about two years, which was about the average then. It had become a job with a high risk of early and permanent retirement.
So precarious became the position of emperor that other generals would decline 'the honour' over succeeding years but that wouldn't save you either. Once a rebellion started against a sitting emperor started, it was always a stark choice. To the victor the spoils, for the losers the 'crapitorium'.
Of course when Decius was leading his rebel troops against Emperor Philip the Arab, he was not know that he had set off a particular ticking sundial. Perhaps Decius was just a bit unlucky but his death in 251 against a new enemy - the smelly and black clad Goths - was a huge surprise. He was the first Roman emperor to be killed on a battlefield by the barbarians. His body wasn't given a Roman funeral as the Goths took it back home with them for their strange rituals involving sharp sticks and rectums.
Picking on the Christians wasn't clever either, since within 70 years they would be the victors and in charge of how history would be later recorded and preserved. Mess with the 'Jesus boys' cult', and you would be toast.
Not Being PhilipEdit
Decius owed his throne for being the complete opposite of his predecessor. Where as Philip wanted to be friends with Rome's enemies and give away territory, Decius stood for 'Good Old Roman Family Values'. Though Decius had been born in one of the rougher areas of the empire (Illyricum for those scholars using this article as a short cut for homework revision), he had lived long enough in Rome to become civilised. Decius had rose to be a Senator and an expert on military matters. When he was given a commission in 249 to 'bash a barbarian', Decius accomplished his mission and then turned his armies on his boss. It wasn't such a strange thing to. If Roman Emperors didn't want a disaster, they didn't either want anyone else taking the glory. Decius had avoided the first but was claiming the second.
Philip's lack lustre campaign to keep his job saw him decapitated and his head stuck on a pole. Decius thanked his pagan friends and backers, and in time honoured fashion, filled all offices with business associates. The usual collection of poets and writers looking for a pension wrote flattering profiles of Decius, comparing him to Trajan or Marcus Aurelius. Decius lapped this all up but also decided to 'investigate the causes of recent Roman decline'. The commission appointed reached their conclusion the same day. It was those funny fellows, the Christians who had undermined Roman morale with their subversive ideas of 'brotherly love' and other such 'guff' about treating people who you didn't want to know as part of your family. Outrage!
Persecution BreakdownEdit
It was a good time to strike at the Christian community. With the exception of a few over turned Holy Communion tables and spitting at a passing priest, the Christians had been left alone more or less since the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the previous century. There was even the rumour that Emperor Philip and his family were followers to what Romans called a 'perverted cannibal cult'.
Decius issued an edict demanding every Roman to sacrifice to him, donating their best cuts of meat to the nearest pagan altar and asking the emperor to help them fill out their tax forms. Anyone who said they couldn't do it for religious reasons were to have their tongues nailed to a block of wood. Decius knew the Christians would have a special problem with this edict as it would elevate him over Jesus. He was proved right and in the bargain, was told that Pope Fabian had sung a very rude song about Decius's edict at a church service.
This was a 'lose your noggin' offence and Fabian had his ripped off. He was one of the luckier martyrs. Others got the usual range of ingenious cruel Roman torture. It didn't take long for some Christians to accuse others of paying people bribes saying they had sacrificed. Some just ceased being Christian and returned to their local pagan temple. It looked like it was going to be thorough purge of all Christian worship until Decius had to break off from his campaign. There was trouble on the Danube Frontier. The Goths had returned.
Metal GothsEdit
Decius was at first dismissive of the Goths after his previous experience. But these were not Emo-Goths but the meaner and harder, Metal Goths. Ears bloodied and bandaged from listening to their music, these Goths were soon causing a serious in the Roman world.
The emperor was determined not to delegate this job to any other Roman commander, success as Decius knew bred ambition. So he turned to his own family and made his sons Herennius Etruscus and Hostilian co-emperors. Leaving Hostilian behind in Rome to 'mind the shop when Daddy's away, Decius and Herennius searched the Balkans looking for the Goths. Finally with the help of the local council noise pollution officers, the Roman army found their Goths. But these guys had been waiting and killed Decius and Etruscus. Suspiciously only a few Romans survived this massacre, in particular one burly general called Trebonianus Gallus. It was whispered that Gallus had arranged the entire Metal Goth tour as a way of killing his boss. Gallus denied it but promptly left for Rome on the fastest horse he could find. Rome had a new emperor.

Cage Off-Road Ford Bronco Long Arm Lift KitPosted in How To on December 1, 2009
Nothing says '80s quite like quad shocks-even in 1978. Ford engineers may have had their hearts in the right place (and were even ahead of their time) when they built the first fullsize Broncos in 1978, but the aftermarket has had almost three decades to improve on what Ford first put out. We decided that our Bronco was destined for a better suspension that could actually perform off-road in various scenarios. Our Bronco was already fitted with an antiquated 6-inch suspension lift that was probably sagging to about four inches taller than stock. We had enough room to clear 38-inch tires but hated the fact that even our 35-inch tires would rub against our stock radius arms at full turn. Needless to say we could never perform a U-turn unless we were off-road.
We decided that CAGE Off-Road Products was the only way to go for a tough reliable off-road suspension that would still give us a decent on road feel. CAGE Off-Road really put in the man hours designing this suspension so that you won't have to do any mods afterwards to make it perform that way you want. This is a fairly in-depth suspension to install in a driveway but it is definitely doable. The hardest part was installing the C-bushings around our axle and at the end of the radius arms. If you can do that, you too can knock out a suspension like this in a weekend with the help of a few buddies. So what does the suspension ride like? It is, to date, our favorite radius arm suspension out on the market!. The progressive rate coils allow a super smooth highway ride, yet it no longer requires a sway bar for high-speed jaunts or highways. It is super fun to drive now thanks to CAGE's suspension, and it doesn't hurt that the new nitrogen-charged shocks deliver a foot of travel!
Author's Note: I'd like to thank my father for his tremendous help during the build. Thanks, Dad!

Next week: Legislature vote on gun control
HARTFORD -- The General Assembly will vote on a historic package of gun-control measures next week.
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., said this morning that the release of investigative details, combined with active negotiations on a bipartisan response to the Sandy Hook School shooting, will lead to party caucuses Monday.
The House and Senate have scheduled session days for next Wednesday, where legislation would be fast-tracked, debated and voted on.
Cafero, R-Norwalk said that legislative had to see a preliminary report on the school slaughter before finalizing a omnibus bill.
"I think it was important to see what we can as quickly as we could and that was today," Cafero said in the Capitol complex.

I have been eying the UtiliTea Kettle for a while now. Have you run into any issues with it? How well does the green/white tea setting actually work?
4 Sort-of Small Kitchen Gadgets that Equal Big Savings!
Here they are: Four nifty appliances for the kitchen. Read on to get an idea of how they can keep things cheap and simple at your home. Then learn how to get some of them for way below retail value.
Number One: The bread machine
Remember when I told you how I enjoyed making my own bread? Eventually, I really grew tired of kneading dough, waiting around for it to rise, and then using plenty of good oven juice to bake it. To get the same delicious results as a conventional oven, try a mid-range bread machine. For the absolute best savings:
- Buy supplies in bulk. Get the largest flour bag and yeast package you can find. (Check your warehouse stores for deals.)
- Package your mixes ahead of time. My mom and I had a marathon event of packaging up do-ahead baggies with all the dry ingredients. We even used up all of those dried potato flakes I had hanging around.
- Plan bread making into your week. It takes no time at all the dump in the ingredients and push the button. You just have to plan for it. Most bread machines have a delay option to bake while you are at work. Use this to have a nice hot loaf waiting when you get home, and plan a meal around it!
Purchase Tip: Bread makers are cluttering up Goodwill stores and consignment shops across the country. Take one home for cheap, and search for the user's manual online. Snag one off of Ebay, or check Craigslist. If you're determined to buy one new, I got this Sunbeam 2 lb beauty from Buy.com for under $50 shipped. (Get extra savings by using the RetailmeNot tool. I saved an extra 5% this way!)
Number Two: The slow-cooker (Crockpot)
Nearly everyone I know calls their slow-cooker a "crockpot" (although that name is actually one of many brands that make them.) Whether you go brand-name or not, the final product is a savory way to enjoy lower-quality meats and vegetables. Go ahead and buy that tough roast – no one may be the wiser. Tips that can help you maximize savings and give you additional ideas for using the cooker include:
- Get some inspiration. I visit this blog regularly. She is brutally honest about which recipes work, and the full-color photos will make you wish it didn't take 6-8 to reach that final product. (But what will I do when her 365 days are up?)
- Plan, Plan, Plan. 4:30 pm is too late to decide you want to slow-cook some ribs. Sorry.
- Think outside the box. Yes, you can cook just about everything in your slow-cooker, including dog food. Some home-decorating enthusiasts swear by the crock-pot method of stripping hardware. (Just keep a separate cooker on hand for any non-food tasks.)
Purchase Tip: When it comes to slow cookers, most any brand will do. I have had great success from the small cookers sold at the Black Friday sales at Wal-Mart for under $4. They work well for side dishes and small cuts of meat. If you plan on buying second hand, be on the lookout for chips in the crock, discoloration on the interior of the cooking surface, and frayed electrical cords. (These are signs of future problems – so stay away!) Flea marts and garage sales are a great place to find older but functioning slow-cookers for a fraction of the new price. I own several!
Number Three: The veggie/rice steamer
I had this sitting in my cupboard for years after our wedding. I just didn't know how handy it could be. Now that I've had a chance to really try this puppy out, we are inseparable! What's not to like? It cooks veggies, meats, and rice without any stirring or tending. It uses much less juice than a stove top, and for those of us who are a bit rice-impaired (Translation: Sticky-rice bandits), it's an easy way to impress guests. (Plus it's a really healthy way to eat.)
- Forgo the bells and whistles. Rice and veggie steamers have come a long way. Too bad much of the "extras" are pointlessly expensive. I've never used the "flavor infuser" on my steamer. If the thing can steam veggies and cook rice, you're golden. Pay less by getting just what you'll be sure to need.
- Follow the directions. This is a no-brainer that I'm surprised I couldn't figure out on my own. Only add water to the steam well. Be super careful when removing the lid. If you follow the basic instructions, you'll have awesomely tender veggies and extra-fluffy rice. (If you don't, you'll look like an idiot in front of your spouse and will be nursing a scalded wrist for a week.)
- Use the recipe book. Each new steamer comes with a few recipes to get you started. Yes, they are simple, but they make an excellent jumping-off point for more daring meals.
Purchase Tip: These also come up at used outlets fairly often. To be sure you really are getting a good deal, make sure the heating element works BEFORE you buy. (If this means you may have to add some water from the store sink and plug it in, do so.) Also, you will need to be sure you have the basic heating component, a drip pan, rice tray, veggie steamer basket, and a lid to do everything you will need it for. (My used one didn't have the drip pan, and I did fine – but I don't plan on cooking meat in it.)
Number Four: The chopper/processor
Most of the time I use the world's oldest food chopper (i.e., my knife.) There are times where I really do go to town with my tiny food processor, however. These are instances where a knife just wouldn't cut it, and it is worth the time cleaning components to get a good consistent chop going.
- Making baby food – There's really no need to buy baby food, if you have access to fresh or high-quality fruits, veggies, rice, and meat. A food chopper can get it to the right consistency in no time (adding water can make it smoother.) For excellent baby food tips, see Dr. Sears' article.
- Freezing for later. Looking to use up all of those tomatoes from your garden? How about whipping up some salsa, pasta sauce, or bruschetta topping? The food chopper can save so much time – you'll be proud of all of the produce you can use up and eat later in the year.
Purchase Tip: This is a product that I prefer to buy small. Since I'm not mass-producing much these days, I have found satisfaction with a cheapo, off-brand food processor from the Black Friday deals at Wal-Mart (under $4.) Mine has lasted over 4 years. If you want something bigger or name-brand, look for one with as few components as necessary. (Remember, you'll be taking it apart and cleaning it after each use!)
Everyone will have their "favorite" kitchen doohickeys. I also love my George Foreman Grill and my Utilitea Electric Tea Kettle. Things I don't use much are gone…. I don't have room in my life for useless appliances.
What kitchen gear can you not live without? How do you use your favorites to save time and money?

I couldn't live without my Cuisinart (chops all my veg, makes awesome pizza dough, grates the veg for the chickens), Kitchen Aid mixer and the pasta attachment (fresh pasta is SO easy now), Zojirushi rice cooker (we have had this for over 10 years but I like sticky rice so we use Asian CalRose rice) and my husband :).
If someone had asked me, I would have probably picked the exact same four, to tell you the truth.
We are also fond of the hot air popcorn popper. It only does one thing, but is such an affordable yummy treat.
For holidays and parties, we have an electric roaster and a large electric coffee urn. I also use the extra roaster if I am doing a marathon cooking day and need the oven for something else. Then I have the roaster to do up a large ham or turkey.
I have an older version of the Utilitea kettle, so I'm unaware of the green tea settings. I have had NO problems whatesoever with this baby, and I live in an area with very, very hard water. My favorite thing to do with it is to take some fresh mint leaves from my garden (chocolate mint variety is very tasty) and throw them whole into the water that I boil.) It steeps nicely, and taste delish. I've solved many a tummy trouble with this tea... yum.
Linsey Knerl
That would be fabulous for parties! I do love my Krup one-cup maker... when we have get togethers, I just put it out along with the Utilitea kettle and a basket of a variety of coffee pods, cocoa mixes, and tea bags. Then guests can make their own cup of java or use the hot water to steep tea or mix cocoa! It's like a a cheap hot drink bar!
My Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. Best $170 I ever spent! We use our hot-air popcorn popper a lot, too.
Does my coffeemaker count?
Mine's an old Proctor-Silex and doesn't look so hot anymore, but it has a swing out basket (which works well under my slightly-lower-than-normal upper cabinets) and a timer so I can set it at night and have freshly brewed coffee waiting on me when I get out of the shower.
I arrive at work with coffee in hand, ready to get the day started for a few pennies. My buds make their morning pilgrimage to Starbucks, and roll in 30 minutes later - and $4 poorer - nearly everyday.
We just got a new crock pot and we love it! We also have a little companion crock pot that's the perfect size for dip for a party. The key thing with any crock pot is to get one that features a removable crock. The fixed crock types are a bear to clean and don't afford you the option to store leftovers in the fridge without first transferring to another container.
I couldn't have said it better myself...
1. Definitely have a removable crock... for sure.
2. Coffee maker counts. Big money saver, and quite a necessity for this Work at Home gal! (No Starbucks for 50 miles...)
Linsey Knerl
I looked all last winter for something (website, book, magazine) that would give me losts of different ideas for the crock pot because I would like to use it everyday, too. I mean, what could be better? You stick everything in the crockpot in the morning and come home to dinner pretty much already cooked - it's sort of a no-brainer, right?
Anyway, this website looks like it is just the right thing for me. Luckily, I have not make out my grocery list yet and am dying the try that chicken applesauce recipe.
I completely agree about the bread machine - again, a no-brainer and saves me loads of time as we like fresh bread in our house.
Thanks again!
My Senseo coffee maker was a Christmas present, and a better present I've never received. Every cup is perfect every time. I don't buy the expensive premade pods, though, I make my own.
I got a grain mill ages ago (what, 10 years now?) and it's still going strong. I turn bulk wheat grain that I buy in big old 50 pound sacks into light, fluffy flour in seconds. It's fresh, the oils in the grain haven't gone rancid and it makes the most wonderful bread!
Lindsey, I always enjoy your posts! I agree 100% with the bread machine and slow-cooker. I love my slow-cooker with interchangeable 2, 4 and 6 quart crocks, but am also keeping my eye out for a good deal on a 6 quart or larger oval model. The crockpot365 blog is an awesome source for recipes! Once I really started using the slow-cooker, I find so many uses for it. Ditto for the bread machine. We love to make pizza crust in it, and pizza is a great way to use up lots of little bits of leftovers meats and veggies in the fridge. The other "can't live without" tool for me is my immersion blender. I bought a good-quality one recently and I use it all the time! My kids LOVE smoothies, and I can use it to whip them up from frozen fruit and yogurt in just a few seconds. It's also great for the soups I make in the slow-cooker and I recently used it to turn a tomato surplus into some fabulous spaghetti sauce (using the slow-cooker, of course!) It's also great for making baby food, and it makes short work of whipping up homemade mayonaisse, which is absolutely divine!
I forgot about that one! We used ours alot during our "smoothie" years. Now that I cook more, and the kids are home with me all day, we don't do smoothies as much.
I forgot how nifty these were. My tanked out on me a year ago... I'll have to look into it for the sauce idea. I have too many tomatoes!
I don't own a bread maker (I use my 6qt kitchenaid for bread) or a crockpot (had one~never used it), but I love my food processor and rice cooker! I use them so often that I hate putting them away.
The hubby and I own several appliances that we use constantly. We have a yogurt maker (yard sale steal) that I use a couple times a week, two popcorn poppers (one for popcorn, one to roast coffee in), an immersion blender (great for soups), and a hand mixer that I use for recipes too small for the kitchenaid. Oh, and my trusty waffle maker that gets pulled out nearly every Saturday.
Now that I see all that typed out, I think I have an appliance addiction. :)
I'm pretty low tech, being of the good knife and solid cutting board school, but I love my Kitchen aid mixer with dough hook. It's great for Friday night's home made pizza. We also have an ancient blender that gets tons of use. If that thing ever dies I may have to enter the 21st century. Until then I'm content.
It's not a bad list, but I can save you even more money if you like ...
- Skip the bread machine make your own. The bread is far superior (the longer rise develops a far richer dough) without the cost of a machine.
- Also skip the slow cooker. If you are vegetarian, it is pointless. And even if you are not, you'd be far better off with a dutch oven. It is far more versatile than a slow cooker, useful both on a stovetop and in an oven, and it has the added benefit of being able to brown your dinner which, as with the bread machine, means you end up with far more flavor.
- Skip the costly steamer and, if you must have one, go to Chinatown and get a cheap one to pop inside a pot you already own (make it one with a lid). Or, for far more delicious food, skip the bland steamer food and saute.
But I am with you on the food processor. I don't use it often, but when I do, I am grateful to have it.
I think my preferences are due largely to my diet (which does include quite a few meats) and the climate in which we live. Because we live in an older home with little to no air conditioning, using my oven in any capacity from June until September is a no-no. (Puts much strain on my electric bill.) I do, however, like switching to the oven for bread-making, steaming, and slow-cooking in the winter months, and while my bread machine works better for the rise during the summer (due to the humidity issues), I like to let the dough rise in my basement about 4 feet from my wood stove in the winter. Rises in half the time and huge loaves!
Linsey Knerl
I had no idea you could do that. And on a selfish note, I've been looking for an excuse to buy a second one while we are at a friend's house shopping for a roof. The other one is in storage and the one at the lake house got trashed in the flood. I got both at yard sales, but I'm not sure where to get used stuff here. Might have to just check out big lots or hope for an ongoing dorm sale.
If I got one now, we could have popcorn in the interim and have an extra for roasted coffee beans later.
Oh! Oh! I haven't been this freaking excited about kitchen appliances in a long time. More info, please . . .
Almostvegetarian, as a working mom with two kids under 3, I have to disagree. Homemade bread is undoubtedly tastier than what the bread machine makes, but if I had to wait until I had time to bake from scratch my family would eat store-bought bread 95% of the time. The bread machine (which we received as a gift) is a great compromise and we use it to make bread for only pennies a loaf.
We are also vegetarians and use the slow-cooker at least once a week, often 2 or 3 times. Maybe it takes a little more creativity to come up with good vegetarian recipes for it, but it's a huge timesaver and means I can have a hot meal ready when I get home from work. There's lentil soup cooking in mine right now, and later this week I plan to use it for curried chickpeas and veggies. It's also handy for making tomato sauce, apple sauce, pumpkin butter, and lots of other wonderful things. Maybe all these things would taste better if I made them in a dutch oven, as you suggest, but the slow-cooker allows me to fit cooking from scratch into my life. For my family it's an invaluable tool and I'd hate to go without it.
Yes, I agree with Myscha. Please share the secret to roasting coffee beans in an popper!
I am still down for any additional links provided, but I got so darn excited I just spent the last hour going crazy with links searches on the DIY coffee roasting experience. I smell an article coming on! What a cool idea!
This is fun and easy to do.... BUT I finally figured out that I did not have discriminating enough taste buds! Since I could not taste the difference between what I roasted and the roasted beans I bought at the store it made no sense roasting them myself. The cost was also more for me to roast my own beans (no easy access to green beans other than mail order.)
So... been there done that and went back to buying our beans already roasted.
just want to add my support for the interchangeable crockpot that a previous commenter talked about. I bought one a few months ago and it is absolutely worth having the three different sizes for the different recipes. Can't wait to try it out with the great crockpot link you gave!
Lindsey, I'd love to see an accounting of how much you spend per homemade loaf. I have a Goodwill bread machine ($4) and we love the fresh bread, but I am not really sure if I'm saving much or any money.
Then again, I don't have a membership at a warehouse store so I have to buy the flour and yeast on sale at grocery stores.
I love reading your posts. Thanks for including the link to the breadmachine at buy.com. I have wanted one for years, and with free shipping I got it for $39 total today. Unfortunately we do not have a goodwill or discount store nearby, so this was a good deal for me.
I wondered the same thing at first. Here's my breakdown of cost of supplies shopping at the local HyVee. This is standard pricing, not purchasing anything on sale, and not buying in bulk.
The supplies listed are enough to make at least 12-15 loaves (depending on the recipe) and many of the ingredients (like sugar and butter) will have plenty left over.
Flour (bread variety) $2.50 for 5 lbs x 3 = $7.50
Powdered milk $5.50 for the smallest package
Butter $2.50 for 1/2 pound
Sugar $1.00 for a small bag
Yeast $5 for the 4 oz package
I didn't factor in for salt or water... practically free.
Using a basic white bread recipe, you can make between 12 and 15 loaves (depending on whether you set your machine to 1.5 or 2 pounds.)
Total initial supplies cost: $21.50 plus a breadmaker
Assuming you don't buy in bulk, get anything on sale, or have any supplies already on hand, you are looking at between $1.43 and $1.75 per loaf, plus cost of time (5 minutes) and electrical energy to run the machine.
Since bread at our only small store here in town sells the cheap crap for at least $2.40 a loaf, and the really good stuff for almost $3.89, this is an excellent deal!
Plus your home is filled with lovely smells of fresh-baked bread. You can toast it, scoop it out for homemade soup bowls, grill it, broil it, and anything else you would want to do with a hearty, thick bread (grilled cheese rocks!)
And getting the "Homemaker of the Year Award" while trying to pursue my freelancing career without zero effort on my part = PRICELESS!
Hope this helps.
For me, the dutch oven is indispensable. I use it to make no-knead bread, which accounts for about 90% of the bread we eat. The no-knead bread is vastly superior to anything that comes out of a bread machine. And dutch ovens are also great for slow cooking stews and tagines. I have two of them so that I can make two loaves of no-knead bread every time I fire up the oven. No-knead bread doesn't take much more time, effort, or skill than using a bread machine, so I'm pretty strongly devoted to the method. Check out breadtopia.com for excellent written instructions and video.
I'm shocked no one mentioned a microwave. Is it taken for granted that everyone has one, or is it not as popular as I always thought it was?
Love the suggestions! (and the comments too!)
One of my favourite appliances is a George Foreman grill I got a couple of years ago on sale for $20. While I do use it to cook meat (like fresh fish, homemade chicken fingers, and the occasional hamburger), it gets more use with hot sandwiches and veggies. I'll slice up some red peppers and zucchini to roast, or use it as a sandwich press to make grilled cheese or other hot sandwiches.
I think my next investment will be a slow cooker :)
I also love my breadmaker (from Goodwill for less than $5). I am not fond of the loaf that it produces however, so I use the dough setting and then give it a quick kneading and let it rise in a regular bread pan before baking it in the oven. The breadmaker serves as a mixer, kneader and warm place to rise.
Great post and comments! Along with my crockpot, immersion blender, and Capresso combo grinder/coffee brewer, I LOVE my toaster/egg cooker combo from Back to Basics. Scoff if you will, but it saves us all kinds of time, energy, and calories. I make my own breakfast sandwiches with whole grain english muffins, good organic and local eggs and cheese, and soy or turkey bacon. The egg poaches in a little chamber on the side of the toaster. The egg/toast cycle makes sure the bread is done at the same time as the egg.
You can also use it to make up to 4 soft or hard-boiled eggs. I make hard-boiled eggs all the time and they turn out great. I think the toaster/egg cooker is much more energy-efficient than boiling eggs the traditional way on the stove.
People smirk when they see this toaster, but I know at least two who have gone on to purchase their own.
Looking forward to the hot-air popper as coffee-bean roaster story!
Another appliance not mentioned here that I wouldn't want to do without is a Toaster Oven. You can cook many of the same food items that you would in a standard oven in a much smaller package. We have ours in the garage. It keeps from heating the house and uses a lot less energy.
Hey guys! I found the same Sunbeam bread machine at Circuit City for $33 plus FREE SHIPPING! (A better deal than what I got.) I love this bread machine!
I'm waiting for mine from the military shipment, but DANG! That's a slamming deal for a new one!
Linsey, I just had a chance to more thoroughly check out that crockpot 365 link you put in the post. Excuse my French everybody, but hot damn! I thought I was fully versed on crockpot recipes, but this woman is kicking my creative butt. Really, really cool ideas there. I can't wait to try the Morrocan lentils recipe and her buffalo wings soup.
Her blog rocks my socks off. I use it ALL the time. I just now used up all the tree apples I didn't know what to do with and made the finest applesauce in my small crock.
I love our bread machine. We use it sometimes 2x per week. True, it might not be the "richest" bread, but it is tastier than store bread for 1/2 the price. I do also enjoy baking "no knead bread", but I can't spare the time. I think many people can't. The varying times with mixing, rising, kneading, rising, and baking, makes it a weekend-only ordeal. So I guess I am disagreeing with almostvegetarian on how practical it is to bake your own. If you have two FT working parents, it's not.
I used to use the crockpot weekly to cook beans. We aren't vegetarian, but we eat very little meat. Then I bought a pressure cooker. It's my new gadget of choice for beans.
I have decided to jump into home made bread for the first time and this was the first article I Stumbled Upon. I will be shopping tomorrow, great post!
I use my double boiler a lot. Especially handy for heating leftovers. I don't have to stand ans stir. It heats slowly and is ready when I am ready.

The state of illegal immigration in Hawaii.
(page 1 of 3)
Illegal immigration has long been a controversial issue on the mainland. Hawaii hasn't been as affected, thanks to our geographic isolation, but even these islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean haven't been left completely untouched. The past year has seen a string of high-profile jobsite busts on both Oahu and Maui, with more than 150 workers arrested for violations at restaurants, construction sites and farms. Prosecutions and investigations are still ongoing on most of these busts, but here's a roundup of what's happened where:
• December 2007: 19 alien workers arrested, nine of them at The Pinnacle luxury condo project at the top of Bishop Street, 11 at a Halawa warehouse.
• April 2008: three arrested at Tenryoan Inc., a food vendor at Shirokiya at Ala Moana Center.
• May 2008: 22 arrested in one night at three different Maui restaurants: Cheeseburger Island Style, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
• July 2008: 43 employees of agriculture company The Farms Inc. arrested at the Oasis apartment complex in Waipahu. Farms Inc. managers David Kato and Glen Kelley McCaig were later arrested, on Dec. 4.
• August 2008: 41 arrested at the Honua Kai Resort construction site in Kaanapali, Maui, 21 more arrested at the same site in September.
Ron Johnson, an assistant U.S. attorney, says the recent string of busts has been a result of a coordinated, deliberate focus between ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the U.S. attorney's office to deal with the problem of undocumented aliens in Hawaii. "We have seen an increase in the number of persons we're running across, and that also probably prompted an increase in the attention paid to these kinds of cases, both locally and nationally," he says.
Local labor unions have been galvanized by the issue. The use of undocumented workers is a phenomenon that exploded at the height of the development boom, when everyone in the construction industry was up to their hard hats in work and the biggest challenge was finding enough qualified laborers to cover the demand. But with the economy tanking and everyone scrabbling for a rapidly shrinking pool of jobs, the unions have become acutely concerned about any threat to their memberships' livelihoods.

i was wondering which cranes gig you've attended, that is most memorable and special to you...
for me its portland, at berbatis pan... they had a great set, and an even better encore...
a close second would be phoenix, az at the big fish pub... because they played "reverie" at my request, and we got to hang out with jim and the others... ill never forget it....

The best gig was in Brussels, Belgium with the Particles and Waves tour.
They came back 4 times, everyone went crazy.
Great too was the evening before when we got to interview them before the gig for the Belgian magazine dark entries.

Well, my fave is the first one i saw ! All i knew about cranes was the cds inlays. It was such a suprise to see they were such nice people. My first show was Fribourg 1998, i was first row and i got to talk to everyone in the band at the end of the show. I didnt sleep when i got back home as i was too much excited. Hopefully i wasnt too sad when the show was over because i was going to see them again live the next day! The setlist was great too as they started with cloudless jewel and reverie. Since that day i've been to every cranes shows in my country.
The others shows were great and probably better but the first one is special

My favourite would have to be, um, Utrecht - the last one. Don't know why since the dressing room was thisbig so we had to sit in a cupboard half the night & we were all hungover from the night before and could barely walk. And we left the box of chocolates from Ali in the dressing room (sorry!) and we want them back. But great atmosphere, great show. Lots of fun.
After that it would have to be Cologne (with the cure) purely for the hotel afterwards. And Cranes upstaging the Cure big time, of course.

Every Cranes show I've seen in Toronto has rocked. The Loved show stands out in my memory. It was wonderfully hard, loud and bright. Last time they played here it was hockey season and they waited for the game to end before performing. Guess there probably won't be a hockey season this year.
I hope Cranes make it back to Toronto with Particles & Waves. I'd love to see those songs performed live.

I was lucky enough to see them twice...both times in Chicago. The first time, in '92, when they opened for the Cure, they were in the Holiday Inn we were in...we went for breakfast, and sure enough they were right behind us having breakfast. None of us had the nerve to say anything, though. I stole Alison's sugar-packet's, though. yay.
Second time, was in '95, in a small club...have to say, best show of my life. So close to the stage, Alison looking as beautiful as ever...except some obnoxious dude kept asking for one of her hair ties. I was so moved, I cried. I tried so hard not to.
Nothing in this world will affect me like Cranes music. It still amazes me, to this day, how few people have even heard of them. The most underrated band ever.
And the stars and moon shine down on me...down, down the river we go...holding on for dear life.

For me it was last years Paris show; they played a terrific set and came back four times ! It was also the first time they started playing Adoration again. It was the last song they played, and we almost missed the very last metro to the other side of paris (where our campsite was), but we didn't want to miss this great song...
It was also the first time for me that i went abroad to see them play live, and ofcourse Paris is such a lovely city that the dream came complete.

And yes, this one was very nice too ! I was in leiden the night before that, so i can guess how that hangover came up
In utrecht the atmosphere was very nice, and the band were the last persons to get 'kicked' out of the venue together with us...
Made some nice pics there. (Btw; Marc Francombe attended this gig)

I was SO ill in Leiden. Had some kind of fierce 8 hour stomach bug that kicked in about half-way through the gig so i left the venue pretty early with Ali & Sab with the idea of sleeping it off...then I recall waking up because Sabine had to let the guys back in to the hotel because the chap on the desk went AWOL in the middle of the night and then a beer and...hungover at breakfast the next morning. Then had to try and follow the cranes bus, still feeling like sh*t, to Utrecht with Ben indicating one way and driving the other.
Was worth it though. Utrecht was a superb show, wasn't it? and yeah, you can see Mark's disembodied head hovering in that photo next to Paul.

My fave was @ a student union somewhere in London? Couldn't have been long after Self-non-Self had just come out.
Me & my then girlfriend were convinced that Robin Guthrie (Cocteaus) was standing next to us - but it could have just been a random large fellow, with big hair & a long coat.
There was next to no-one there but Cranes were superb! - I did pull the poster off the wall - wonder if I've still got it?
There are times when I am quietly impressed by my powers of forgetfullness.

The Post Office in Augusta, Georgia. Intimate club. Stood in the second row of people. Loved that concert.
Or it could be the concert in Atlanta, Georgia with the Cure when I totally didn't know the Cranes would be opening and was totally and pleasantly shocked
when I recognized that it was them.

A scaled-back version of an express commuting service called bus rapid transit is scheduled to debut Monday between the Loop and the South Side.
The Jeffery Jump will operate on the No. 14 Jeffery Express route, which travels between 103rd Street and Stony Island Avenue, and Washington and Jefferson streets downtown. The double-long Jeffery Jump buses will be wrapped in blue to give the service a distinctive appearance, officials said.
From 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m., No. 14 Jeffery Jump buses will use bus-only lanes on part of the route, between 67th and 83rd streets, cutting the travel time by up to seven minutes from one end of the route to the other, transit officials said.
Regular fares will apply. Bus stops will be located every half-mile on average between 67th and 103rd streets to speed up the trips, officials said.
But the new service is being launched Monday without key elements that constitute true bus rapid transit, officials said. The missing components include full-time bus-only lanes; traffic signals linked to the buses to extend green lights for them; passenger prepaid boarding at bus stops equipped with platforms that are level with the bus floor; and bus stops in the median, instead of at the curb.
Early next year, the CTA and the Chicago Department of Transportation will expand the Jeffery Jump bus rapid transit experiment to provide extended green lights for buses between 73rd and 84th streets, officials said. In addition, a bypass lane will open at Jeffery Boulevard and Anthony Avenue to allow buses to advance through the intersection ahead of other traffic, officials said.
The CTA and CDOT are completing plans for more robust bus rapid transit service on Ashland and Western avenues, between Howard and 95th streets when funding becomes available; and in the central Loop in 2014. Long-term plans envision a 50-mile bus rapid transit network, increasing average bus speeds by as much as 48 percent over regular bus routes, officials said.

I've taken up AcroYoga recently, and it's hella fun so I'm adjusting my gym routine to get stronger where I need.
(That's not me)
Eve Online character Magnus Calvinson

Stop in and say hi
Back in the gym after my illness.. Week one went well, and now beginning week two. And I am loving my new gizmo (no it is not a Mogwai). It is a cyclone mixer, a cup with an electric motor and an agitator. I fill it with the appropriate amount of liquid, turn on the motor and then it forms a 'cyclone' in the liquid; I dump in my powder and whoosh it is mixed. No lumps. That is right, no frakking lumps! I am so happy I learned about these puppies, shakers suck ass, and while mixing my powders with a spoon was less messy; I still wound up with lumps. I am now lump free, and the thing is a snap to clean as well; which is more than I could ever say about those stupid 'shakers'. I bought rechargeable batteries for it so I am set for life. Ohraaaah!! Go Wolverines!
Finished my first four week cycle or 'Phase' on Sunday, and am feeling great. Starting back on week one (sort of) again (just did two days already) and I am seeing a real difference in the weights I used the first time through versus the weights I am using now. If this sounds confusing here is the program for reference- http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html
It has been a while since I posted here, but it looks like a while since anyone posted in this thread, so hear goes.
Health wise, for those interested, I am a recovering alcoholic (almost 2 years sober) who quit smoking in 2004, had two slips on the cigarettes since, but nothing since 2006.
So I got a tattoo almost 3 weeks ago, those who have me on the book of face can check out the "just done" pics on my album, ink. But had been concerend about my weight, which had risen to 100 kilos/220 pounds/15 stone 10. I was requested to take a BP reading as I had been getting dizzy spells and had gone to the wonderful Finnish Health service for an EKG (all dr visits free, dental visits cost a whole 3 euro, about 4$). It read 178/115, I paniced.
I was, to my eternal detriment, eating about 3/4 pound of chips and about a 1/2 pound of candy a NIGHT. Every gym I have gone to has told me to fix the food but, eecially in recent times, I have ignored them, even seeing the effects dietary changes have had on Chuck and Audra, I *still* igonre them. I took some small comfort in the fact they neither kept me in nor advised I go and get blood thinners or beta blockers right away. This was on Friday, May 9th.
CORRECTION, it was friday, may 3rd as the preceeding timeline would imply...
They gave me a blood pressure monitor and told me to take it 4 times a day, twice in the morning and twice in the evening at two minute intervals. I took action. I chucked out 90% of what I was eating, no chips, no refined sugar, no bread, amost no wheat (apart form bran flakes in the morning) lots of fresh fruit. As a result of this I have dropped, in 16 days, 5 kilos/11 pounds.. My average BP has dropped to closer to 125/85-90. It is still a little high but I think 20 points off the diastolic in two weeks is impressive.
Most of my exercise is still walking, I am focused on the food for now, but thought I would check in with you lot.
Stay safe.

Good for you though....getting started is the hardest part.....I can relate....my knee surgery (and even though I was back skating and playing ten days after), the road back to the level of fitness and speed and overall health I was at just seven months ago....it's not been easy....people keep telling me garbage like "because I'm getting older"... and "its doing fine" (long story short on the injury, I was picked in a floor hockey game, had all my weight on the right leg....tore both miniscuses and my ACL....took six weeks to get the MRI to show this....I played through it since it felt better after it was drained, which also lead to the ortho deciding to go with fixing the miniscuses and letting the ACL heal on its own (also fixing the ACL would have left me kinda immobile for two weeks, and when you live alone AND are self-employed....its not an option)...things have gotten better (oddly I skate faster now than I did before))...but the running's been slow to come around, I feel like a scared pylong out there on defense....I still cringe at the idea of contact and trusting the knee, but physical play is 50% of my game...its just been a constant battle to get back where I was and now my game schedule is picking up so I don't have the time to slow build on the treadmill like I'd have liked too (also our awful winter up here didn't help with walks or even being able to get to the gym)....Ive also taken up not only yoga in the last two months to help, but I'm trying these shakeolgy shakes (I had my trainer friend at the gym look at the label and she approves)....I'm hoping the next month or two I see progress.....I'm at least ok now to not need a brace out there (10 days and going on that!).....its just frustrating since I made so much progress out of the box....and I feel like I'm stuck in mud again now....and I gained about 10 pounds that won't go away.... anyone else had to battle back from something similar?

Bryan V necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 144 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
We are launching a new website that will provide users with the ability to research, review and plan trips to wine country. Central to the website will be information about individual wineries complete with user generated reviews and rankings. The website will be similar to Yelp, but focused exclusively on wineries, wine trails and wine. Unlike more traditional wine focused websites, we're hoping to set a tone that is fun, inviting and accessible to the mass market. Travel guides like Lonely Planet and Time Out are other good examples of the type of tone we intend to incorporate.
We are targeting individuals that are planning trips to wine country. We want to be a one-stop destination that provides details on wineries, as well as other regional information (e.g. restaurants, hotels, activities, etc.). We want the site to be fun, yet informative. Ideally the site will cater both to wine enthusiasts, as well as wine novices. Thus, the overall look and feel should be fun/retro, yet feel authoritative.
We need to design a logo which incorporates the GrapeGuides name. We like the idea of incorporating a fun/funky/retro color scheme using purple and green. We want the logo to look hip and cool. There are a few ideas for potential logos that we have (please see below), but we are open to more suggestions.
1) GrapeGuides name followed by a tourism type circular sign denoting a winery (could use a wine bottle and wine glass or grapes).
2) Silhouette of a head of someone looking through binoculars, or some other explorer type look.
3) Some combination of the two G's in our name..
4) Something with grapes in it.
Again, these are just a few of our initial thoughts but we are definitely open for more ideas. We like designs that are simple and clean. The logo should incorporate 'web safe' colors and fonts, and be delivered in Photoshop.

How do you capture the magic of Disney's animated features without using any Disney illustrations? Graphic designer Rowan Stocks Moore has created a clever set of alternative posters depicting cartoon classics that are beautiful in their own right.
You can see the entire set at TQS Magazine, where Moore has also turned his design powers on book covers and the most recent Oscar nominees. His use of the movies' central images is rather brilliant, especially in that Snow White poster. Do you see a girl and her prince, or a ragged apple core?

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry reach an accord over Olivier Martinez brawl
HALLE BERRY and her ex-boyfriend GABRIEL AUBRY have ended their stand-off following a headline-grabbing Thanksgiving Day (22Nov12) brawl at the actress' Hollywood home.
The former model and Berry's current fiance Olivier Martinez fought over a long-standing custody war for the ex-couple's daughter Nahla and both me were hospitalised with injuries.
The Oscar winner was granted a temporary restraining order against Aubry late last week and the Canadian won a similar ruling against Martinez on Monday (26Nov12).
Aubry failed to get the order lifted on Tuesday (27Nov12), but it now appears the former couple has agreed to a truce.
A week after the brawl, Berry's lawyer Blair Berk told reporters in a hallway outside court in Los Angeles that the two parties had reached "an amicable agreement". She added, "There will be no further statements regarding this matter."
Both parties had worked to come to an accord and presented their terms to the judge earlier in the day. Berry and Martinez did not make an appearance but Aubry was present, according to TMZ.com.
Berry has been eyeing a move to France with her little girl and her actor fiance in a bid to escape the intrusive paparazzi, but her plans suffered a setback in early November (12), when she failed to win primary custody of Nahla during a tense court showdown with her ex. The judge's decision hampered the actress' plans to relocate.

Zaya needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 145 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Neti Neti Media
Neti Neti ("Not this not" that in Sanskrit)... see below...
We organize a conference that bridges science and spirituality. We also produce media/DVDs related to the conference topics. We bring together spiritual teachers from many different traditions (Christianity, Buddhism, Advaita, Zen, Sufism etc) with scientists (quantum physics, neuroscience, psychology, cosmology etc.) and philosophers.
Definition of Neti Neti:
Sanskrit: literally not this, not this (not this, not that).
The process of progressively negating all names and forms of which the world is made in order to arrive at the eternal Ultimate Truth.
Our target audience is anyone who couldn't find the "Answers" to the deepest questions in his/her exploration trough different belief systems. From Science to Religions, from Yoga to Eckhart Tolle's readers to the audience of "What the bleep" movie.
We need something clean and simple.
Your design will give the feeling of social media, community, intelligence and elegance.
The style of the logo has to match the style/color of the existing website. The site will have more dynamic features soon.
Ideally the logo is designed with the idea of also creating a version in motion to be inserted in our video clips.
Logo style: clean, elegant, zen and yet hip.

James, Son of Alphaeus:We know nothing of this man but his name, and of course the fact that Jesus chose him to be one of the 12 pillars of the New Israel, his Church. He is not the James of Acts, son of Clopas, "brother" of Jesus and later bishop of Jerusalem and the traditional author of the Letter of James. James, son of Alphaeus, is also known as James the Lesser to avoid confusing him with James the son of Zebedee, also an apostle and known as James the Greater.
Philip: Philip came from the same town as Peter and Andrew, Bethsaida in Galilee. Jesus called him directly, whereupon he sought out Nathanael and told him of the "one about whom Moses wrote" (John 1:45).
Like the other apostles, Philip took a long time coming to realize who Jesus was. On one occasion, when Jesus saw the great multitude following him and wanted to give them food, he asked Philip where they should buy bread for the people to eat. St. John comments, "[Jesus] said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do" (John 6:6). Philip answered, "Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little [bit]" (John 6:7).
John's story is not a put-down of Philip. It was simply necessary for these men who were to be the foundation stones of the Church to see the clear distinction between humanity's total helplessness apart from God and the human ability to be a bearer of divine power by God's gift.
On another occasion, we can almost hear the exasperation in Jesus' voice. After Thomas had complained that they did not know where Jesus was going, Jesus said, "I am the way…If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him" (John 14:6a, 7). Then Philip said, "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us" (John 14:8). Enough! Jesus answered, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9a).
Possibly because Philip bore a Greek name or because he was thought to be close to Jesus, some Gentile proselytes came to him and asked him to introduce them to Jesus. Philip went to Andrew, and Andrew went to Jesus. Jesus' reply in John's Gospel is indirect; Jesus says that now his "hour" has come, that in a short time he will give his life for Jew and Gentile alike.
Reflection.—The Church commemorates on the same day Sts. Philip and James, whose bodies lie side by side at Rome. They represent to us two aspects of Christian holiness. The first preaches faith, the second works; the one holy aspirations, the other purity of heart.
