Every year for Christmas I bake gifts for B's family and our friends. The tradition started 10 years ago when B. and I entered stores after stores, Christmas shopping for his relatives, only to come out empty handed. What do you get the people who have everything? Homemade goodies. And tons of them. Neatly packaged in personalized boxes with pretty ribbons and paper. I go all out. They love it.
I do love to give those boxes filled with cookies, truffles, macarons, etc…but it is easy to let flours, sugar, chocolate, vanilla take over the kitchen. There are times I feel I am inhaling far more buttercream than humanly recommended. I bet some of you can relate! Baking after work also means multitasking with dinner. Clearly not the time to experiment with new or lengthy recipes so I rely on dishes which ingredient list and method I can recite as if it were poetry. Enters this rice dish.
In the past eight years, I have probably made this dish once a month. I know….that's a bit scary to think we ate it or some variation of it close to a hundred times. It's that good. It's so easy and can be adapted to all seasons that once you get the gist of it, it's just a matter of not eating the whole thing in one sitting.
The flavors in this recipe were the main attractions for me. Coconut, squash, onion, thyme. They left me intrigued. It's perfectly suitable for a vegetarian night. We love it simply accompanied by a poached egg on top and a slice of bread. Simple and yet full of flavors. Easy to make and easy to eat.
Right now is the perfect time to use butternut or acorn squash but feel free to substitute yellow squash or eggplant. I sometimes use finely chopped purple or flat leaf kale instead. The black beans can be replaced by any other bean such as pinto or chickpeas. Rosemary can easily replace the thyme. You get it. Use the recipe as a canvas to fit your tastebuds. We love it when the temperatures drop! Hope you will too.
Butternut Squash and Coconut Milk Rice, adapted from Cooking Light 2002:
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth or water
1 cup light coconut milk
1 cup short grained or basmati rice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups cubed peeled butternut squash
1 teaspoon chopped fresh (or 1/4 teaspoon dried) thyme
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (if using canned, drain & rinse them first)
zest and juice of one lime
Bring broth (or water) and coconut milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and keep warm (I just keep mine covered while I prepare the rest of the recipe).
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and lemongrass and sautee 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucid.
Reduce heat to medium and add the squash. Cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in thyme, salt, pepper and black beans. Cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Add rice to squash mixture, add the lime zest and juice and stir to combine.

- Washington DC is a city for walkers and has even been known as one of the fittest cities in the US. Get out with your own two feet and explore America's capital.
- Check out the historic neighborhood of Georgetown.
- Check out some parks not called The Mall.
- Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
- Meridian Hill Park
- C&O canal Towpath
- Go running or cycling at Rock Creek Park
- Explore Roosevelt Island and get away from most of the tourists.
- Go see some blues bands play in the Shaw neighborhood.
Why you should add Washington DC to your RTW travel list
- Spend hours wandering the Smithsonian Mall and its 13 museums and galleries
- Visit the halls of power in the Capitol Building and the White House
- Get shushed in the world's largest library, the Library of Congress
- Take a day trip out to the somber Arlington Cemetery
- Imagine yourself as Mulder or Scully in the J Edgar Hoover FBI Building
Why you should not add Washington DC to your RTW travel list
- It can be pretty pricey, and if you don't get away from The Mall, you will be surrounded by tourists.
- If you come in the summer, prepare to be hit in the face by a wall of humidity.
Washington DC: the ultimate social studies field trip. Millions of schoolchildren tour the United Sates capital each year, ohhing and ahhing at the historic White House, sitting in awe at Lincoln's Memorial, and gaping at the Washington Monument. Adults cannot help but do the same.
After the federal government, DC survives on tourism. It's the number two industry – and with good reason, as there's never a shortage of things to do.
What to do
Washington DC has more monuments than you can shake a stick at, and you'll be seeing at least a few of them from the outside even if you try to avoid it. The tall obelisk of the Washington Monument and the grand Lincoln Memorial are two of the best known, but in the same area you've got the museums of the Smithsonian. These are all free to enter, but the lines can be long. The Air and Space museum always has big crowds, but it's really worth it once you get inside.
Those with a passion for shopping and cafe culture should check out Georgetown, with restaurants, art galleries and the glamorous Kennedy Center.
If sports are your passion, no worries. DC is home to the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals, Washington Redskins, Washington Mystics and the new Washington Nationals – if you prefer to play, most head out of the city into greener pastures, but the Potomac River kayaking should not be overlooked.
Getting there
There are three major airports in the area so it's pretty easy to find a cheap flight to Washington DC. Two of the airports are very close to the city center and Baltimore's major airport is close enough that it's worth flying in there if the price is low enough, but usually it's easy to find good fares into the Dulles or Washington National.
Where to stay
There are plenty of hotels in Washington DC, and most of them tend to be quite expensive. If most of the centrally located hotels are out of your price range it's better to book a place in nearby Virginia than in the remote parts of DC itself. There is a strip of cheap hotels there, but the area is not near anything and it's quite dangerous at night. There are a few hostels in Washington DC as well, so if yor budget is limited you might consider a private room in one of those instead of a far-away hotel.
Our friends at USA Tourist have guides to various U.S. cities, including a Washington DC Travel Guide, specifically geared toward visitors from outside the country.

Journalist and best-selling author Joe McGinniss has died. The author of classic books about politics and true crime was 71 years old. He suffered from complications due to inoperable prostate cancer.
As NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik recalls, McGinniss courted controversy throughout his career.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: The concept of hypocrisy is woven through Joe McGinness' work, the chasm separating our public and private selves. In his final book, a biography of Sarah Palin, McGinniss vacuumed up just about every damning fact and rumor he could find involving the former Republican vice presidential nominee - and her husband and family, too. In an interview with me in 2011, McGinniss explained why.
JOE MCGINNISS: She pushes them front and center. She tries to use as a fundamental aspect of her image, the sense that Sarah is a working mother of five great kids. These people are all - they do everything together. Look at her whole reality show. They travel Alaska together, and they go mining for gold and hunting caribou. And it's all fake. It's all fake. It's utterly fraudulent.
FOLKENFLIK: The book engendered much criticism, especially his decision to rent a house next door to the Palins. But then, McGinniss seemed to stoke heat throughout his career. McGinnis started as a sportswriter, and broke out as a brash columnist in Philadelphia when he set out to chronicle how presidential campaigns actually worked. He wrote "The Selling of the President 1968," and revealed Richard Nixon's campaign to be heavily focused on marketing and messages intended to mask the candidate's weaknesses.
JIM WARREN: The behind-the-scenes details of a political campaign, it's all now a daily staple of political journalism and successful websites like Politico.com. All that, by and large, constituted pretty new revelations.
FOLKENFLIK: Longtime political reporter and media critic Jim Warren, of the New York Daily News, says McGinniss' insights are now taken for granted.
WARREN: You know, a final irony of his passing, and his legacy, might be in how he helped to open that door to a pretty mysterious world and how now, we know far, far more than we ever did about American politics, but seem arguably to almost have less insight.
FOLKENFLIK: McGinniss later approached an Army doctor who faced charges of killing his wife and two daughters in Fort Bragg, N.C. McGinniss told Jeffrey MacDonald he believed his story of an attack at home by crazed hippies. The defense team gave the writer full access. His book "Fatal Vision" was riveting and damning, inspiring a TV movie.
JEFFREY MACDONALD: Well, I remember hearing my wife saying, Jeff, why are they doing this to me?
FOLKENFLIK: MacDonald, found guilty in the killings, sued McGinniss and received an out-of-court payment of $325,000. Janet Malcolm, of The New Yorker, accused McGinniss of betrayal, saying the case proved the deception underlying all journalism. McGinniss said he simply followed the evidence. Toward the end of his career, Joe McGinniss seemed to recognize his ups and downs, once saying he started at the top with such a hit that he avoided trying to match his early and heady success ever since.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration says it might leave no troops in Afghanistan after December 2014, an option that defies the Pentagon's view that thousands of troops may be needed to contain al-Qaida and to strengthen Afghan forces.
"We wouldn't rule out any option," including zero troops, Ben Rhodes, a White House deputy national security adviser, said Tuesday.
"The U.S. does not have an inherent objective of `X' number of troops in Afghanistan," Rhodes said. "We have an objective of making sure there is no safe haven for al-Qaida in Afghanistan and making sure that the Afghan government has a security force that is sufficient to ensure the stability of the Afghan government."
The U.S. now has 66,000 troops in Afghanistan, down from a peak of about 100,000 as recently as 2010. The U.S. and its NATO allies agreed in November 2010 that they would withdraw all their combat troops by the end of 2014, but they have yet to decide what future missions will be necessary and how many troops they would require.
Those issues are central to talks this week as Afghan President Hamid Karzai meets with President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
At stake is the risk of Afghanistan's collapse and a return to the chaos of the 1990s that enabled the Taliban to seize power and provide a haven for Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network. Fewer than 100 al-Qaida fighters are believed to remain in Afghanistan, although a larger number are just across the border in Pakistani sanctuaries.
Panetta has said he foresees a need for a U.S. counterterrorism force in Afghanistan beyond 2014, plus a contingent to train Afghan forces. He is believed to favor an option that would keep about 9,000 troops in the country.
Administration officials in recent days have said they are considering a range of options for a residual U.S. troop presence of as few as 3,000 and as many as 15,000, with the number linked to a specific set of military-related missions like hunting down terrorists.
Asked in a conference call with reporters whether zero was now an option, Rhodes said, "That would be an option we would consider."
His statement could be interpreted as part of an administration negotiating strategy. On Friday Karzai is scheduled to meet Obama at the White House to discuss ways of framing an enduring partnership beyond 2014.
The two are at odds on numerous issues, including a U.S. demand that any American troops who would remain in Afghanistan after the combat mission ends be granted immunity from prosecution under Afghan law. Karzai has resisted, while emphasizing his need for large-scale U.S. support to maintain an effective security force after 2014.
In announcing last month in Kabul that he had accepted Obama's invitation to visit this week, Karzai made plain his objectives.
"Give us a good army, a good air force and a capability to project Afghan interests in the region," Karzai said, and he would gladly reciprocate by easing the path to legal immunity for U.S. troops.
Karzai is scheduled to meet Thursday with Panetta at the Pentagon and with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the State Department.
Without explicitly mentioning immunity for U.S. troops, Obama's top White House military adviser on Afghanistan, Doug Lute, told reporters Tuesday that the Afghans will have to give the U.S. certain "authorities" if it wants U.S. troops to remain.
"As we know from our Iraq experience, if there are no authorities granted by the sovereign state, then there's not room for a follow-on U.S. military mission," Lute said. He was referring to 2011 negotiations with Iraq that ended with no agreement to grant legal immunity to U.S. troops who would have stayed to help train Iraqi forces. As a result, no U.S. troops remain in Iraq.
David Barno, a retired Army three-star general and former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, wrote earlier this week that vigorous debate has been under way inside the administration on a "minimalist approach" for post-2014 Afghanistan.
In an opinion piece for ForeignPolicy.com on Monday, Barno said the "zero option" was less than optimal but "not necessarily an untenable one." Without what he called the stabilizing influence of U.S. troops, Barno cautioned that Afghanistan could "slip back into chaos."
Barno said the Afghan-Pakistan border area where numbers of Islamic extremists are in hiding could become the scene of a prolonged "intelligence war" after 2014, with the U.S. and its Afghan and Pakistan partners sharing intelligence.
"Given its vital importance, this undertaking will endure - regardless of the size of the residual U.S. military presence," he wrote.
Rhodes said Obama is focused on two main outcomes in Afghanistan: ensuring that the country does not revert to being the al-Qaida haven it was prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and getting the government to the point where it can defend itself.
"That's what guides us, and that's what causes us to look for different potential troop numbers - or not having potential troops in the country," Rhodes said.
He predicted that Obama and Karzai would come to no concrete conclusions on international military missions in Afghanistan beyond 2014, and he said it likely would be months before Obama decides how many U.S. troops - if any - he wants to keep there.
Rhodes said Obama remains committed to further reducing the U.S. military presence this year, although the pace of that withdrawal will not be decided for a few months.

TENS Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators
PainCare, BioTENS, A-TENS, Han Therapy, Premier Plus
TENS produces a low level stimulus or intermittent current to comfortably stimulate surface nerves.
High Rate frequencies in the 80-150 pps range for long term wearing for pain relief
Low Rate frequencies in the 10-20 pps range for short 10-30 minute treatments during the day
Wide Pulse Width settings 120-300 for large muscle areas
Narrow Pulse Width settings 10-120 for small areas such as hands and face.
Electrode Application:
Two channels of 2 electrodes each can be used to independently treat 2 separate areas of pain.
Current should flow across and intersect nerves "between the pain and the brain". Very specific localized pains can also use a crossing placement of 4 electrodes similar to interferential stimulation
There are many modes of stimulation available on a variety of TENS models.
-Conventional Mode delivers a constant and steady beat of rate from 1-200 pulses per second. This is the most widely used mode of treatment.
-Burst Mode delivers a packet or burst of 7-10 pulses rather than a single pulse. Burst is more comfortable than conventional modes when using low Hz settings.
-Modulated rate, width and amplitude modes deliver constantly varying rates, width and amplitudes to reduce sensory accommodation.
-Strength Duration Modes deliver a modulated current to match the strength duration threshold curve of pain.
-Han Therapy modes deliver a mix of stimuli to produce the full spectrum of the body's own pain modulators.

CNC machining is the most common subtractive manufacturing technology and a hugely flexible and robust method for producing custom metal and plastic parts. Converting 3D models into G-code, CNC machines remove material from a solid block with various cutting tools. The most popular type of CNC machining is CNC milling, which combines the same computer numerical control (CNC) with a multi-point cutting tool or milling cutter to produce parts with tight tolerances and impressive mechanical and material properties. CNC milling, available in 3-, 4- and 5-axis machines, involves mounting a workpiece to a machine bed and letting automated tools do the rest. It's ideal for complex design, being one of the most accurate manufacturing techniques on the market. Engineers turn to CNC milling for a huge range of applications, including parts for the aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics and medical technology industries, as well as prototypes and models. While 3D printing offers more design freedom, CNC machining outclasses most additive technologies for low- to medium-volume production, especially with the material range including aluminum, bronze, copper, steel and other engineering metals and polymers.
CNC turning is another popular type of CNC machining, which uses state-of-the-art lathes and turning centers to produce complex, robust custom metal and plastic parts. Using CNC lathes and turning centers, our manufacturing partners can provide cost-efficient parts with simpler geometries. Live tooling is available for more complex geometries and is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Experienced operators use CNC turning machines for operations including parting, boring, facing, drilling, grooving and knurling, in contrast to how CNC milling machines are used. In general, CNC turning is a more affordable alternative to CNC milling and can outspeed milling in cases where the cutting tool's range of motion is a mitigating factor. It's important to note that CNC turning isn't optimal for material conversation, but this is often a necessary trade-in for speed and price. Thanks to the high speed of turning tools, parts will have a lower roughness than milled components.
CNC machining is an ideal process for producing custom parts with tight tolerances and high levels of precision. The only potential downside is that CNC parts often require post-processing to erase tool marks and improve their surface finishes for cosmetic and functional purposes. Applying the right surface finishes can improve your part's surface roughness, cosmetic and visual properties, wear and corrosion resistance and a lot more. Protolabs Network offers a wide range of surface finishing options, including smooth and fine machining, anodizing, polishing, bead blasting, brushing, black oxide, chromate conversion coating, electroless nickel plating and powder coating, as well as many other more specialized post-processing methods for niche industry applications. Every surface finish has its advantages and drawbacks, so choosing the right one depends on several factors. It's important to evaluate how your part will be used and in what kind of environment to make the best determination. You can choose from a variety of surface finishes in Protolabs Network's quote builder and contact email@example.com for more information.

At Protolabs Network we offer CNC milling (3-axis, 3+2-axis and 5-axis) and turning. Milled parts can be machined up to 2000 x 1500 x 200 mm (78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.) for 3/3+2 axis CNC milling. For 5-axis milling, the maximum part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm (25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.). The maximum diameter for CNC turning is 431mm (17 in.), length 990 mm (39 in). Minimum part dimensions recommended are around 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in. (10 x 10 x 10mm).The minimum for feature dimensions is 0.5 mm.
We are limited to a 1000 mm (39 in.) maximum size for parts on our platform. If you need higher dimensions, you can place the request through your account manager.
Deburring and edge breaking are standard procedures for all CNC machined parts. If there are any critical edges that should be left sharp, they must be clearly indicated in technical drawings. Surfaces will be free of defects such as scratches, dents, stains, blemishes, hanging marks, minor defects. Surfaces indicated as critical (primary (a) side, as indicated on the technical drawing) will be free of mill steps and other marks. For the secondary (b) side, minor hanging marks and up to 2 minor defects are acceptable. A number of post-processing and finishing methods can be applied to improve the surface roughness, visual properties and wear resistance of machined parts.
We use machine learning algorithms to calculate the exact cost of any machinable part directly from a CAD file, based on millions of CNC machining orders we've previously processed. No more waiting for technicians to get back to you via email, we can generate an exact quote for you instantly (well, in about 5 seconds).
This means you always know the price up front. Simply upload a CAD file to generate a quote: get an instant CNC machining quote. Our quotes are completely free, you only need to create an account so we can protect your IP.
It's so easy to use that we encourage mechanical engineers to use it constantly as they optimize their designs for cost. Whenever you've made a new design iteration, simply load both the old and the new design into our quoting tool and see if the price is different.
This technology means our manufacturing partners also don't need to do their own machining quotes, which means less overhead for them. This makes the whole process less expensive, which translates into lower prices for our customers.
The main costs associated with CNC machining can be grouped into machining time, start-up costs, material costs, and feature costs. To reduce costs you need to understand the impact of these factors on cost.
The best way to reduce machining time is to design features that can be machined quickly, for example by choosing the correct radii for internal corners, reducing cavity depth, increasing wall thicknesses, limiting thread length and designing holes with standard sizes.
Material costs can be reduced by considering the size of the blank required, and the cost and machinability of the bulk material (softer alloys are faster to machine).
Start-up costs can be reduced by reducing the number part rotations or repositioning required to finish the part, for example by separating geometries into multiple parts that can be assembled later.
Feature costs can be reduced by only using tolerances when strictly necessary, removing all text & lettering, and avoiding multiple surface finishes.
These tips can be read in more detail in our full guide to reducing the cost of CNC machined parts.
We use algorithms to identify the best manufacturer in our network for your specific order, based on their proximity to you, their experience with similar parts and their available capacity right now. This allows us to balance our customers' demands for speed, cost and quality better than ever before.
Protolabs Network was started by mechanical engineers and we have many more engineers and technicians in our team. Together we've written a lot of content on CNC machining over the years. You can find a selection of resources below, or you can head to our knowledge hub and filter on CNC machining to read case studies, in-depth design guidelines and explanations of different surface finishes.
We've also written a complete engineering guide to CNC machining. Here you can learn about how the many different kinds of mills and lathes work and the different materials available, so you can easily compare their benefits & limitations. You'll also learn the basic design rules for machining and the most common applications of each material and surface finish, so you can make the right choices every time.
Customers in the US and EU can choose local or global manufacturing for CNC machined parts. Local orders are manufactured within your customs-clearance zones, allowing for shorter lead times (from 5 days) and faster delivery as there's no need for shipments to clear customs. Global orders generally result in longer lead times at a lower price. The best option depends on the timeline and requirements of your project.
Using CAD (computer-aided design) modeling software and G-code, CNC milling and CNC turning machines remove material from a solid workpiece with precision and speed. CNC machines manufacture parts with tight tolerances and a range of impressive mechanical and chemical properties. Our custom CNC machining service is ideal for one-off jobs and low-to-medium volume production, thanks to automation and high repeatability.
Our global network of CNC machining centers manufacture custom parts for applications ranging from rapid prototyping to serial production. To start sourcing CNC-machined parts, simply upload a CAD file and technical drawing to our online Quote Builder. You'll either receive an instant CNC quote and be able to start production in only a few clicks, or you'll be directed to one of our engineers for design for manufacturability (DFM) guidance.

For at least a millennium, the heart of Britain's commercial and financial industries has been the City of London.
The City is not the large metropolis we know as London. It's much older and smaller. Many call it the Square Mile, though it's not square and a bit bigger than a mile. It's the home to big banks, medieval alleyways and St. Paul's Cathedral. And, for all those centuries, the area has had the same local government with an unusual name: The City of London Corporation.
This little government does more than just run schools and collect what the Brits call rubbish. It's a stealth power.
"It runs its own police force, it has its own mayor, and ... most importantly, it runs its own foreign policy," says Ronen Palan, a professor at the City University London.
The City has fewer than 7,500 residents. Yet, it has 125 elected officials. Its Lord Mayor travels the world promoting business. And, it has a cash account worth roughly $2 billion.
An Unusual Democracy
And, it has a very unusual democracy. Because so few live there, and because as many as 300,000 people commute in each day, the City lets local businesses appoint workers to cast ballots. JPMorgan Chase gets votes. So does the Bank of China and the little lawyer's office down the street.
With businesses its constituents, the City then uses its cash to promote the financial industry's interests. In the view of one elected common councilor, City officials don't spend much time analyzing what's wrong with the banks.
"They're always too uncritical," says Patrick Streeter, who represents the City's Bishopsgate Ward. "They're more apologists for the U.K. financial community."
How is it that a little local government has the power to influence legislation, host world leaders and advocate for British finance around the world? A lot of it stems from its sheer longevity. From the grocers to goldsmiths, the Square Mile has been the center of British business for as long as we have records. The City bankrolled kings it liked and helped depose those it didn't.
Special Privileges
But, in recent years, it's found an unlikely adversary. Father William Taylor is a vicar in the neighboring East End.
He became intrigued as he noticed the City gets special privileges other parts of London do not — like a permanent official in parliament who sits across from the speaker and gives the City's view on legislation.
"Do doctors have a permanent professional advocate in parliament?" Taylor asks. "Do teachers? Do firemen? No, they don't. But the financial services, through the ancient constitution of the City of London, do."
Taylor has become a key part of a reform group that's been taking on the City since the financial crisis. He believes the City has promoted policies creating a network of tax havens in British territories and former colonies — a network some say has made London an attractive place for American and other foreign banks.
And, he says the City defended light financial regulations in the U.K.
"Because it's got all this private money, because it's got this access to parliament, it's able to continue to tell MPs and parliamentarians, 'Don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg,' " Taylor says.
'Efficient' Regulation Of Banks
But City officials are dismissive of this criticism.
"William Taylor is a critic of the City — yes, one person," says Mark Boleat, chairman of the policy and resources committee of the City of London Corporation and the most powerful person in its government.
Yes, the City government represents the business sector, Boleat says.
"I wouldn't say we're a lobbyist. We act as a representative body to some extent, working with trade associations and others," he says.
Boleat says it's not the City's job to criticize or regulate the big banks. It doesn't make policy.
"Are we against financial regulation? Absolutely not. What we want to see is high-class, effective, efficient regulation because without that we wouldn't have any business in the City," he says.
To him, the City's power has been greatly exaggerated by its critics and conspiracy theorists. But professor Ronen Palan isn't buying it.
"They were always excellent in playing down their power to the public," he says. "But behind the scenes, they've been very, very significant in shaping British policy."

Many people jump into flipping a house with great intentions, only to find themselves buried in renovation work. Often times, one project will lead to another costing you time and money.
If you are flipping a house for the first time, you should be aware of these 5 renovations to avoid.
Flipping a House in Florida
1. Don't Get Personal
Many people buy a house intending to flip it, but they start redesigning it as if they were going to live there themselves. You don't need to spend weeks deciding on the perfect carpets or paint colors. Avoid any expensive finishes or other high priced accents. The bathroom vanity doesn't have to be perfect, it's not for you. It simply has to be functional. Major cosmetic improvements are better left to the buyer who intends to actually live in the house. Most buyers will prefer choosing their own accents anyhow. All improvements should be done economically and in as short of a timeframe as possible. When it comes to flipping houses, time really is money!
2. Kitchen & Bath
We know… "the kitchen and bath sell the home." Sometimes. However, people would rather pick out their own tiles than have someone do it for them. Fix things that are damaged, but don't spend your money on an entire kitchen or bath renovation. Instead, spend your money on new lighting fixtures, drawer pulls, and faucets. There are many small changes and improvements you can make that will give the kitchen and bath a facelift, without breaking the bank.
3. Leave The Basement Unfinished
The expense of finishing a basement will have an adverse effect on your ARV. (After Repair Value.) You will not see a return on your investment that will ever make finishing it cost-effective in a flip. Leave an unfinished basement as is. The new homeowner can choose how they would like to use the space. Many will appreciate being able to set up and design the area to meet their needs. Some people will use it as a family gathering area, where others will use it as an office or gym. No matter how it is used, properly finishing the walls, floors and ceilings can be a daunting and expensive undertaking!
4. Never Add a Pool or Spa
Adding a pool or a spa to a house you are flipping is similar to throwing money away! This is another renovation that you should leave to the discretion of your buyer. The costs can be great, without any significant return on the final sale price. While you might think a pool would look great in the backyard, keep in mind, that it isn't really your house, and the money can be much better spent!
5. Keep Landscaping Simple
Simple touches you can do yourself will have a huge impact. In many cases, simply pulling a few weeds and trimming back hedges and trees will dramatically change the appearance of an over-grown property. You can give your property instant curb appeal simply by adding a few flowers and cleaning up the front door and mailbox. Do not invest money in professional landscaping or design. This is another project better left to the next buyer.
During any house flip, it is important to set a budget and stick to it. Most construction projects will ultimately exceed your timeframe or budget. If you plan ahead for this, you can be assured you won't be completely thrown off track by a small bump in the road.

"Great Opportunity! Live in scenic Nofuckingwhere! Incredible Salary!"And they always have pictures of stunningly attractive men and women, with amazingly cute children, doing outdoor activities. Or attending the theater. Or doing anything but wading through a huge pile of charts with a lobby full of patients. They make the jobs sound so wonderful that you wonder why the previous doc left.
These things have all sorts of catchphrases about remarkable salary, fast-track to partnership, limited call, great public schools, outdoor activities, cultural events, etc. Usually it runs something like this: "Practice in a beautiful area, where you can live 5 minutes from the beach, mountains, and international opera house. World class schools in an area with absolutely no crime, drug problems, or pesticides. Enjoy year-round skiing, golf, wind-surfing, fishing, kayaking, and snowboarding. Call schedule is 1 in 365, with no hospital coverage. Earn $175 billion dollars a year and a generous program to help you pay back your med school loans, with a fast-track to partnership."
So, as a courtesy to other medical professionals, I've waded through these things and collected the most commonly used phrases, and now offer a translation:
"World Class Medicine": (which world? Neptune?)
"Directorship position": You're the only doc for 500 miles.
"Practice without limits": Patients will push the envelope like you wouldn't believe.
"Short drive from recreational opportunities": Not that you'll ever have time to go, but you can drop the kids off on your way to work.
"Theater events": The high school kids put on "Li'l Abner" in the fall.
"Low Crime rates": Everyone has a gun, and shoots on sight.
"Invigorating river nearby": We're downstream from a sewage plant.
"Unique patients": Inbred families with webbed fingers.
"Fine shopping": We have a Walmart AND a Target!
"Fine local cuisine": Whoppers, Big Macs, AND Wendy's"
"Wholesome community": Minorities kept out at gun point.
"Join a growing practice": You're it.
"Moving bonus": Biff will come help you unload your truck
"University town": ER is full of drunken fratboys.
"Physician-friendly hospital administration": And you can see Bigfoot here, too. Pigs also fly.
"Competitive salary": You'll make more than you would at the local McD's. But not much.
"Generous benefits": Secretary has a bowl of M&M's on her desk.
"Cultural offerings": Office fridge hasn't been cleaned in years.
"Topnotch school system": Most kids finished 8th grade.
And my favorite:
"Year round activities": What does that mean? Hell, cleaning my house is a year round activity.

To the
General, Field & other
Assembled at the New Building
pursuant to
the General Order of the
11th. Instant March.
[Note: page 2 is blank.]
Head Quarters
15th. of March 1783.
By an anonymous sum=
mons, an attempt has been made to con
vene you together--how inconsis
tent with the rules of propriety! --
how unmilitary! -and how sub=
versive of all order and discipline
-let the good sense of the Army
In the moment of this sum
mons, another anonymous producti
on was sent into circulation; ad=
dressed more to the feelings & passi
ons, than to the reason & judgment
of the Army.--The Author of the
piece, is entitled to much credit for
the goodness of his Pen: --and I could
wish he had as much credit for the
rectitude of his Heart-for, as men
see thro' different Optics, and are
induced by the reflecting faculties
of the Mind, to use different means
to attain the same end;-the Author
of the Address, should have had
more charity, than to mark for
mend moderation and longer forbea
rance-or, in other words, who should
not think as he thinks, and act as he
advises.--But he had another plan
in view, in which candor and libera
lity of Sentiment, regard to Justice,
and love of Country, have no part,
and he was right, to insinuate
the darkest suspicion, to effect the
blackest designs.--
That the Address
is drawn with great Art, and is de=
signed to answer the most insidious
purposes.--That it is calculated
to impress the Mind, with an idea of
premeditated injustice in the Sove=
reign power of the United States, and
rouse all those resentments which
must unavoidably flow from such a
belief.--That the secret mover
of this Scheme (whoever he may
be) intended to take advantage
of the passions, while they were
warmed by the recollection of past
distresses, without giving time for
cool, deliberative thinking, & that
composure of Mind which is so neces
sary to give dignity & stability to Mea
sures, is rendered too obvious, by
the mode of conducting the business,
to the proceeding.--
This much, Gentlemen, I have
thought it incumbent on me to ob=
serve to you, to shew upon what
principles I opposed the irregular
and hasty meeting which was pro
posed to have been held on Tuesday
last: -and not because I wanted
a disposition to give you every op
portunity, consistent with your own
honor, and the dignity of the Army,
to make known your grievances.--
If my conduct heretofore, has not
evinced to you, that I have been a
faithful friend to the Army, my
declaration of it at this time wd.
be equally unavailing & improper
.--But as I was among the first who
embarked in the cause of our com
mon Country--As I have never
left your side one moment, but
when called from you, on public
duty--As I have been the constan[t]
companion & witness of your Dis
tresses, and not among the last to
feel, & acknowledge your merits
--As I have ever considered
my own Military reputation as in
seperably connected with that of
the Army--As my Heart has
heard its praises-and my indigna
tion has arisen, when the mouth of
detraction has been opened against it--
it can scarcely be supposed, at this
late stage of the War, that I am indif
ferent to its interests.--
But--how are they to be promoted?
The way is plain, says the anonymous
Addresser---If War continues, remove
into the unsettled Country--there esta
blish yourselves, and leave an un=
grateful Country to defend itself
--But who are they to defend?--
Our Wives, our Children, our Farms,
and other property which we leave
behind us.-or-in this state of hostile
seperation, are we to take the two
first (the latter cannot be removed)
-to perish in a Wilderness, with hun
ger cold & nakedness?--
--If Peace
takes place, never sheath your Swords
says he untill you have obtained full
and ample Justice*
[Asterisk leads to the following sentence located in the margin written
perpendicular to the main text; see page image:]
*-This dreadful alternative, of either deserting our Country in the extre
mest hour of her distress, or turning our Arms against it, (which is the
parent object, unless Congress can be compelled into instant compliance)
has something so shocking in it, that humanity revolts at the idea.-
[End of text written in margin.]
[Continuation of text on main part of page:] My God! What
can this writer have in view, by recom
mending such measures?--Can he
be a friend to the Army?--Can he
be a friend to this Country?--Rather,
is he not an insidious Foe?--Some
plotting the ruin of both, by sowing
the seeds of discord & seperation be=
tween the Civil & Military powers of
the Continent?--And what a Compli
ment does he pay to our understan
dings, when he recommends mea=
sures in either alternative, imprac
ticable in their Nature?
But here, Gentlemen, I will
drop the curtain;--because it wd.
be as imprudent in me to assign my
reasons for this opinion, as it would
be insulting to your conception, to
suppose you stood in need of them.
--A moments reflection will convince
every dispassionate Mind of the phy
sical impossibility of carrying either
proposal into execution.--
There might, Gentlemen, be
an impropriety in my taking notice,
in this Address to you, of an anony
mous production--but the manner
in which that performance has been
introduced to the Army--the effect
it was intended to have, together
with some other circumstances, will
amply justify my observations on the
tendency of that Writing.--With
respect to the advice given by the
recommend moderate measures and
longer forbearance--I spurn it--as
every man, who regards that liberty,
& reveres that Justice for which we
contend, undoubtedly must--for if
Men are to be precluded from offering
their sentiments on a matter, which
may involve the most serious and
alarming consequences, that can invite
the consideration of Mankind; reason
is of no use to us--the freedom of Speech
may be taken away-and, dumb &
silent we may be led, like sheep, to
the Slaughter
I cannot, in Justice to my
own belief, & what I have great rea
son to conceive is the intention of Con
gress, conclude this Address, without
giving it as my decided opinion; that
that Honble. Body, entertain exalted
sentiments of the Services of the Army
;--and, from a full conviction of its
Merits & sufferings, will do it compleat
Justice: --That their endeavers, to
discover & establish funds for this
purpose, have been unwearied, and
will not cease, till they have succeeded,
I have not a doubt.--But, like all
other large Bodies, where there is
reconcile, their deliberations are
slow.--Why then should we dis
trust them?-and, in consequence
of that distrust, adopt measures,
which may cast a shade over that
glory which, has been so justly ac
quired; and tarnish the reputation
of an Army which is celebrated thro'
all Europe, for its fortitude and Pa=
triotism?--And for what is this
done?--to bring the object we seek
for nearer?--No!-most certainly,
in my opinion, it will cast it at a
greater distance.--
For myself (and I take no
merit in giving the assurance, being
induced to it from principles of gra=
titude, veracity & Justice) -a grate
ful sence of the confidence you have
ever placed in me-a recollection of
the chearful assistance, & prompt
obedience I have experienced from
you, under every vicisitude of Fortune,
--and the sincere affection I feel for
an Army, I have so long had the honor
to Command, will oblige me to declare,
in this public & solemn manner, that,
in the attainment of compleat justice
for all your toils & dangers, and in
the gratification of every wish, so
the great duty I owe my Country, and
those powers we are bound to res=
pect, you may freely command my
services to the utmost of my
While I give you these assu=
rances, and pledge my self in the
most unequivocal manner, to exert
whatever [space] ability I am
possessed of, in your favor--let me
entreat you, Gentlemen, on your part,
not to take any measures, which, view
ed in the calm light of reason, will les=
sen the dignity, & sully the glory you
have hitherto maintained--let me
request you to rely on the plighted faith
of your Country, and place a full con
fidence in the purity of the intentions
of Congress; that, previous to your
dissolution as an Army they will cause
all your Accts. to be fairly liquidated,
as directed in their resolutions, which
were published to you two days ago--
and that they will adopt the most ef=
fectual measures in their power, to
render ample justice to you, for your
faithful and meritorious Services
.--And let me conjure you, in the
name of our common Country--as you
value your own sacred honor--as
as you regard the Military & National
character of America, to express your
utmost horror & detestation of the Man
who wishes, under any specious pre=
tences, to overturn the liberties of our
Country, & who wickedly attempts to open
the flood Gates of Civil discord, & deluge
our rising Empire in Blood.--
By thus determining-& thus
acting, you will pursue the plain & direct
road to the attainment of your wishes.
--You will defeat the insidious designs
of our Enemies, who are compelled to resort
from open force to secret Artifice.--You
will give one more distinguished proof
of unexampled patriotism & patient
virtue, rising superior to the pressure
of the most complicated sufferings;--
And you will, by the dignity of your
Conduct, afford occasion for Posterity
to say, when speaking of the glorious
example you have exhibited to Man
"had this day been wanting,
"the World had never seen the last stage
"of perfection to which human nature
"is capable of attaining"

NASA caught our eye earlier today when the space agency tweeted a composite image of the huge winter storm that has covered parts of the Midwest and Eastern U.S. with a deep blanket of snow.
The photos that make up the image were taken Thursday, NASA says, during several passes of its Aqua satellite. The craft used its Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer — MODIS — "to capture this true-color image of a massive winter storm moving up the eastern seaboard," the agency says.
The gigantic storm is moving into the Atlantic, after leaving snowfall of well over a foot in some areas. As the system moves on, it's being trailed by extremely cold temperatures and high winds that are making the cold even more biting.
"The next storm is forming, and will bring blizzard conditions to the northern Plains Friday Night into Saturday," NASA says. "Extreme wind chills to -55 F are possible in the northern Plains this weekend."
As Mark reported earlier today, the outgoing storm has been blamed for at least 13 deaths, some of them from incidents on the roads. It has also caused more than 2,942 flight cancellations and more than 5,600 delays, according to FlightAware.com.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month — 6 Great Charities That Deserve Your Donations
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month represents an opportunity for all Americans to devote some time to offering their support to the millions of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's also a good time to find out what you can do to help. Whether it's participating in rallies or organizing fund-raisers or donating to charity, October is a time when all of us can come together with those goals in mind.
First, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services offers three ideas for how to spread the word about steps women can take to detect breast cancer early:
- Ask doctors and nurses to speak to women about the importance of getting screened for breast cancer.
- Encourage women ages 40 to 49 to talk with their doctors about when to start getting mammograms.
- Organize an event to talk with women ages 50 to 74 in your community about getting mammograms every two years.
Below, we've put together links to six breast cancer awareness charities that are most deserving of your support, but before that, let's go over a few key pieces of information. Breast cancer is the second-most-common cancer in American women (following skin cancer). There are about 3 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., and about one out of every eight women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. It is the second-leading cause of cancer death in women (following lung cancer).
The American Cancer Society has issued the following estimates for 2022:
- About 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
- About 51,400 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
- About 43,250 women will die from breast cancer.
The good news is, you can help (even if you don't look great in pink). If you want to step up and support the cause right now, we found seven ways you can click through and donate without leaving your chair. (You can find an exhaustive list of respected charities here.) When you find a cause you want to get behind, check them out at Charity Navigator to see how your money will be spent and how your charity ranks among others with similar missions.
- Breast Cancer Research Foundation: The mission of this foundation is "to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide, and increasing public awareness about good breast health." Founded by Evelyn Lauder (of Estée Lauder fame), they assure donors that 91 cents of every dollar spent by BCRF is directed toward breast cancer research and awareness programs. (3-star ranking on Charity Navigator)
- National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc.: Their mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. They increase awareness through education, by providing diagnostic breast-care services for those in need and by providing nurturing support services. Your $100 donation can provide a mammogram for a woman in need. (4-star ranking on Charity Navigator)
- Living Beyond Breast Cancer: This organization was founded in 1991 by oncologist Marisa C. Weiss, M.D., and aims to empower all women affected by breast cancer to live as long as possible with the best quality of life. (4-star ranking on Charity Navigator)
- Susan G. Komen for the Cure: The vision of this well-known organization is a world without breast cancer. The foundation began as a promise by Nancy Brinker to her sister Susan Komen that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. It has since become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. And October is a big month for races, so you may still be able to get involved with your feet as well as your wallet. You can donate here. (3-star ranking on Charity Navigator)
- Breastcancer.org: This group is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the most reliable, complete and up-to-date information about breast cancer. Their mission is to help women and their loved ones make sense of the complex medical and personal information about breast cancer so they can make the best decisions for their lives and families. You can donate here. (4-star rating on Charity Navigator)
- Breast Cancer Education Association: The philosophy of this group, which is largely run by volunteers, most of whom are breast cancer survivors, is to serve women and men in the community by providing easy access to support and information about breast cancer and to enhance the quality of life for survivors, family and friends.

2,158 undergraduate and graduate students awarded degrees
Princeton University awarded degrees to 1,261 undergraduates in the Class of 2013, five from other classes and 892 graduate students at its 266th Commencement Tuesday, June 4.
The University also awarded honorary degrees to six individuals for their contributions to architecture, education, literature, the humanities, human rights, medicine and science: Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health; Lorraine Daston, executive director of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, in Berlin, Germany; Frank Gehry, world-renowned architect; Toni Morrison, Nobel laureate and the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities Emeritus at Princeton University; Shirley M. Tilghman, president of Princeton University; and Sakena Yacoobi, executive director of the Afghan Institute of Learning.
Tilghman, the 19th president of Princeton, presided over the exercises and addressed the graduates. About 10,000 students and guests attended the morning ceremony on the front lawn of historic Nassau Hall.
The valedictory oration was delivered by Aman Sinha from Ivyland, Pa., a mechanical and aerospace engineering major with certificates in applied and computational mathematics and applications of computing. Sinha twice received the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence, the George B. Wood Legacy Sophomore Prize, the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and shared the Class of 1939 Princeton Scholar Award. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, after graduation Sinha will study information engineering at the University of Cambridge on a Churchill Scholarship. In 2014, he will attend Stanford University on a Hertz Fellowship to pursue a doctorate in electrical engineering.
Amelia Bensch-Schaus, a classics major from Swarthmore, Pa., delivered the salutatory address. The University's oldest student honor, the address is traditionally given in Latin. The salutatory began as a serious, formal address during an era when the entire Commencement ceremony was conducted in Latin, and has evolved to become a farewell to Princeton campus life that often includes humorous tributes and recollections.
The new graduates, many of whom are not fluent in Latin, follow along using printed copies of the remarks. These include footnotes telling when to applaud (plaudite), laugh (ridete) and cheer (conclamate). Guests and other audience members do not have the annotated copies, a practice dictated by tradition because the salute is directed to the members of the class.
Bensch-Schaus has received the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence, and she spent her junior year studying classics at the University of Cambridge. After graduation, she will teach Latin for a year in the United Kingdom at the Sherborne School in Dorset before beginning graduate school.
