South African Rand Tumbles To 7-Month Lows As Central Bank Governor Steps DownSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 09:55
In a surprise for the market, South Africa's Reserve Bank chief Gill Marcus has announced she will not be available for another term when her contract is up in November. On the heels of an expected decision to leave rates unchanged, this has sent the Rand tumbling to its lowest since February. While Marcus exporessed every confidence in her successor, it appears the market is less confident (for now). Forget the economy, sell ZAR because the true leader of the nation's wealth is to step down...

Goldman's Q&A On What Yellen Really Said (Or Didn't)Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 09:31
Since it is the NY Fed, headed by an ex-Goldmanite, which will ultimately be tasked with exiting 6 years of "unconventional monetary policy" - at some point during this "recovery" if not now or any time soon for that matter - it is probably best to listen to Goldman for its post-mortem on what the chairwoman did or did not say. Which is why we present a "Q&A" with Goldman's head economist, Jan Hatzius, known to occasionally exchange a sandwich and the occasional policy guidelene, with NY Fed's Bill Dudley at the Pound and Pence, in which he explains how Yellen managed to be both more dovish and more hawkish than the "market" expected.

The Trolling Continues: Fed Chairwoman Expresses Her Condolences To America's PoorSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 09:14
As we discussed earlier in the week, Janet Yellen has released a speech this morning explaining why the poor need to get rich. In the speech below, she stresses, "how important it is to promote asset-building, including saving for a rainy day, as protection from the ups and downs of the economy," despite falling incomes, rising costs, and extending credit, we assume she means. The Fed Chairman has some words of encouragement for the tens of millions of Americans who live at or below the poverty level, including that threatened with extinction class, affectionately known as "the middle." Her message? It is important to build assets, or said otherwise... get rich and she promises to "continue to promote asset-building."

Housing Starts, Permits Tumble Driven By Collapse In Multi-Family UnitsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 08:50
One look at the August housing starts and permits data, and one will wonder just how is it possible that yesterday NAHB homebuilder confidence rose to a 9 year high, when according to the US Department of Commerce both Housing Start and Permits tumbled in the past month, with the housing "leading indicator" that is Permits sliding 5.6% from 1040K to 998K, and declining sequentially in every region of the US, with double digit drops in the Northeast and the Midwest, while Housing Starts tumbled by 14.4% from 1117K, to only 956K, wildly missing Wall Street expectations of "only" a 5.2% drop to 1037K.

Initial Jobless Claims Plunge From 3-Month High To 14-Year LowSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 08:43
Last week's "blip" higher in initial claims to over 300k - its highest in almost 3-months - has been demolished by the always-reliable, never-noisy data this week. At 280k, dramatically better than expectations of 305k, initial claims has only been lower once in the last 14 years... just don't tell Janet. The prior week was upwardly revised leaving a 36k drop this week - the biggest percentage drop since 2005. The all-important 4-week average is back under 300k and the labor department reports nothing unusual about this week's data... apart from the fact that non-seasonally-adjusted claims rose 6k to 241k.

Gold Tumbles To 2014 Lows As China Unveils Anti-Rigging BenchmarkSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 08:32
With a Fed hinting at exit strategies, gold has tumbled to 2014 lows (and almost in the red year-to-date) as traders apparently forget Japan, China, and European central banks continue to (or are set to) print more money into the global reflation trade. It appears that as the West continues to sell 'paper' gold, the East remains enamnored as the PBOC announced this morning:
Furthermore, traders have noted physical buying interest continues in the Asian region as premiums rise in China and India.

China's Housing Slump Accelerates, Worst In Over Three YearsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 08:22
While the rest of the world is focused on what any given "developed" (or Chinese) central bank will do to continue the relentless liquidity-driven rally to new record highs, China has bigger problems as it continues to scramble in its attempts to figure out how to halt the slow motion housing crash that has now firmly gripped the nation. So firmly, that according to overnight data from the National Bureau of Statistics, monthly house prices dropped in some 68 of 70 tracked cities, the most in over three years, since January 2011 when the government changed the way it compiles the data.

Dollar, Futures Resume Ramp On Both Hawkish And Dovish Yellen AnnouncementSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 07:25
Yesterday's market reaction to Yellen's commentary was curious: there was none, because when all was said and done the S&P and DJIA traded precisely where they traded just before the show began. Which, of course, was unacceptable, because one way or another the hawkish for the USD - the USDJPY just traded at the highest since 2008 - statement and conference had to be promptly interpreted for the algos as dovish for stocks - Futures are again just why of record highs - if not so much for the Fed-hated bonds, and sure enough, European equities traded in the green from the get-go even as RanSquawk notes, "there has been no major fundamental catalyst behind the spike higher seen in the morning, although do note that the move comes in the backdrop of the positive close on Wall Street which saw the S&P 500 (+0.13%) touch record highs before paring a large portion of the gains." In other words, the upside volatility in the intraday move is now a bullish catalyst, closing print notwithstanding. And what did US equity futures do? Why they followed Europe higher, with the ES now +8, on what is "explained" as a European move to intraday US futures previously. That, ladies and gentlemen, means we may have finally achieved perpetual motion, because all that would take to send the market higher is... for the market to go higher, etc, ad inf.

ECB's First TLTRO A "Failure": European Banks Take Less "Free" ECB Loans Than Worst Case ExpectationSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 - 07:01
As part of Draghi's attempt to reflate the ECB's balance sheet by €1 trillion, a key variable was the extension of the LTRO (1&2) program, in the form of the Targeted LTRO, or TLTRO aka LTRO 3 & 4, whose initial take up results were announced earlier today. It was, in a world, a flop. Because while the consensus was for European banks to take anywhere between €100 and €300 billion in nearly zero-cost credit from the ECB (at 0.15%) to engage in carry trades in today's first round TLTRO operation (ahead of the second TLTRO in December), moments ago the ECB announced that banks, which head already been actively paying down the first two LTRO carry programs, of which only €385 billion had been left of over a €1 trillion total at inception, were allotted a tiny €82.6 billion across 255 counterparties.

Scottish Independence: Politicians Love Democracy So Much They're Trying To Subvert ItSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 22:32
The polls in Scotland will close this week on one of the more important elections in recent history... perhaps one of the only elections that actually matters. Every eligible voter has a say, and a simple majority decides the outcome for everyone else. By definition, this is the purest possible form of the democratic process. But that's not what's happening. British politicians are scared to death that Scotland will file for divorce; so they're doing everything they can to influence the outcome of this supposedly impartial democratic process. They've spent an incalculable amount of money trying to influence the outcome, effectively subverting a democratic election.

2 Tips for Making Great Pizza at Home From Brandon & Molly of Delancey
One Minute Video Tip
We are planning on making pizza this weekend, and so we are excited to follow these two tips offered by Molly and Brandon in this video. You may know Molly Wizenberg as the author of the popular food blog Orangette. Her husband, Brandon, has a passion for pizza, and so they decided to open a pizza restaurant in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. Even though we don't generally cover restaurants, we're fascinated at the extension of home cooking that happens when a food blogger opens a restaurant (you can see our peek at Delancey here). Here are two great tips from Brandon making pizza at home.
You can find the book that Molly mentions here:
• Cucina Simpatica: Robust Trattoria Cooking From Al Forno, by Johanne Killeen and George Germon
You can also find out a little bit more about Delancey at their website:
• Delancey
And finally, check out a few more examples of grilled pizza from The Kitchn:
• Recipe: Grilled Potato, Gorgonzola and Prosciutto Pizza
• Reader Inspiration: Grilled Pizza!
• Mark's Grilled Pizza on the Balcony
Happy pizza-making!

Don't cook the sauce - genius!!! Thanks for the tip, can't wait to try it out :)
Another great option is to use a cast iron griddle and your broiler to make your pizza, as demonstrated here:
Who in the world cooks their sauce before sticking it on the pizza?
I generally use my standard tomato sauce on pizza--that not cooking it tip is great.
Apparently, verily, not everyone is as enlightened as you.
Both are great tips!!
I just hope that some of the pizzerias north of Connecticut are reading this...if they could only learn to not cook their sauce, I think I could actually go out for pizza some time!
Yeah - um - Goya canned tomato sauce - a lil basil and oregano - plain ole cheese - high end toppings - bella
Yay! I love Molly and Spilled Milk!

DIY Hanging Coat Rack for Narrow Halls and Closets
Canadian House and Home
I remember doing an exhaustive search for just the right coat hooks for my entryway. And even though they are covered by coats 70% of the time (this is San Francisco...coat season is year round), I still dislike them. They are all about utility and not about form. This hanging coat rack combines both form and function in a beautifully earthy way.
Using a fallen branch and some chain, this DIY is relatively simple and requires no fancy tools. While this branch is painted white and would look great against a contrasting wall, white walls would benefit from a contrasting branch in black or bold colors like fuchsia or yellow. A topcoat of varnish would also help to keep the hangers from damaging the paint job.
This lovely coat rack manages to do what most other coat racks can't: remain visible while being used. Also, when not in use, it's far from being an eye sore.
For full instructions, visit Canadian House & Home: DIY Hanging Coat Rack.

I love this! Now I have to find a branch.
"Also, when not in use, it's far from being an eye sore."
I beg to differ on that point. Also, I hate hangers, would much prefer hooks. Different strokes for different folks though.
No More Wire Hangers!!
I think this is very cool, especially in a restaurant or in a tiny bedroom or something where someone needs a small extra wardrobe. I just worry that it would get overweighted and pull out of the ceiling! proper installation would be a must here. super cute in a kids room where the hangers and clothes would be tiny and darling.
I like the dresser. Any idea where it's from?
i am pretty positive that dresser is from the Hemnes series at IKEA?
The "dresser" is IKEA and the Hemnes series, but it's actually a shoe cabinet: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/60156121
Like the commenter above, I require hooks.
It is pretty, tho.
I actually use hangers on hooks. Hee hee. Kinder to my clothes in the only space I have, a stairway.
But I am inspired to use this idea on a temporary basis for parties!! I can leave up the hooks and hang the rest as needed. It would block the basement stairs for the evening but give me a huge amount more hanging space.
Where can I find a reasonably sized branch in Brooklyn? Is it considered theft of government property if I break one off a tree in Prospect Park?
@ posted by chartreuse soooo funny!!! Yes Mommy Dearest!!
This is brilliant, simple, delicious.. off to gather fallen branches !
We used the top half of a Christmas tree, screwed in simple hooks, and screwed it to the wall to make a coat rack in our daughter's room.
I love this, so cool!

Toni and Rick's Serenity in Stone
Green Tour
Name: Toni and Rick Sturtz
Location: Neillsville, Wisconsin
Years lived in: 8 years, owned
Toni and Rick Sturtz live in a cozy stone farmhouse nestled between a restored prairie and miles of towering fir and birch trees. They see themselves as stewards of the farmstead—caretakers of their 120-year-old home and the natural resources that surround it. As they carefully adapt their home to modern living, they make changes with sustainability in mind. And their artistic sensibilities bring a grace that makes the interior as serene as the setting.
When Toni and Rick purchased the farm, it included a one-bedroom house, stone-walled granary, and barn. They have since added a dining area, second bedroom, and bath to the farmhouse, bringing it to 1,820 square feet. They converted the granary to a charming guest retreat and built a woodshop for Rick, a professional furniture maker who creates pieces on commission.
Guided by an architect son and daughter-in-law, the couple created a plan with minimal impact on the environment and maximum reuse of materials. The addition incorporates trees from their property and others felled by the utility company. Wood siding was salvaged from a house nearby, and then stripped and flipped to expose the back. Many lights are vintage industrial fixtures restored by Rick. They installed an in-ground geothermal heating system, low-E windows, and re-insulated for better energy efficiency.
Inside, the materials of the original home set the stage. Many of the furnishings and artwork were created by craftspeople they count as friends. Both avid thrifters, Rick and Toni are happy to share tales of finds that make you want to drop what you're doing and goshoppingrightNOW. In fact, the couple got so good at the hunt for reusable building materials that they now offer their services to people working on LEED certification. Rick has become immersed in refurbishing and selling old industrial lights.
Rick and Toni stress that their home is not a showcase. They are more interested in paying homage to the skills of the home's original builders and the environment. "Every effort we make is inspired by our hope that the property can pass to the hands of our kids and their kids, so they can enjoy the wonders of living on, and in, spaces that are still wild."
Re-Nest Survey:
Our style: It was never our goal to "strike out on our own" with a unique style. Nor have we tried to create something that appeared fixed in time, circa 1890. We take cues from the original palette of materials (stone, metal, brick, and wood) and use those to honor the architecture with careful, "quiet" touches that we hope complement the stature of this farmhouse.
How we did it: Design and construction have been persistently guided by our son Ryan and his wife Zoe, who have a residential design company called EDIT design-build studio. They push us to measure each decision against our final intent. This focus has sharpened our design skills and offered us a steady framework for moving forward.
Inspiration: We are inspired by the locally sourced materials in the original structures and by the thoughtful way the buildings are sited on the property. We also admire the work of architect Samuel Mockbee. One of our favorite books is Rural Studio, Samuel Mockbee and the Architecture of Decency.
Favorite Element: The exposed stone, because we tend to favor a "rawness" in construction materials. We love the bones of the house.
Biggest Challenge: Coring through 30-plus inches of that unyielding stone to add a bathroom. Also, evicting unwanted mammals from the home's attic.
What Friends Say: First they're moved by the features created by the original builders, including the amazing lay-up of the stone. After that, they respond most to the ease with which one can live in this house, because it's uncluttered and functionally arranged.
Proudest DIY: That we've stuck to our intent of using locally sourced materials wherever possible. And that we preferred reuse over recycling and used over new. We also make every effort to use materials that will endure: metal roofing, materials that are naturally resistant to decay, exceptionally crafted industrial lighting, well-executed framing, etc.
Biggest Indulgence: Hands down, our 30-inch Wolf stove. But it was a small price to pay considering that our son Eric, a chef in Duluth, loves to cook for us when he finds time to visit.
Best Advice: Purchase good tools if you can. Good work endures; consequently, the tools that make it possible are worth the initial investment. We manufactured our kitchen cabinets using portable power tools by Festool.
Best Reason Not to Go It Alone: You don't have to. You can benefit from your community. Develop relationships with like-minded people willing to assist and educate. It is amazing how many talented people live within 20 miles of our decidedly rural location! We plan to have a retreat/studio on the prairie one day, where artists can come for a week to work; our friend Steven Mankouche has even taken on this project as part of his tenure proposal for professorship of architecture at the University of Michigan. His insights have been invaluable.
Green Elements/Initiatives:
Future Green Goals: Capture water from the barn roof for garden irrigation; capture, filter and utilize sump water for some domestic use, like laundry; and install a composting toilet for guests staying in the granary. Someday we would like to purchase a solar array that could offset a portion of the electrical demand for our geo-thermal system.
Appliances: Wolf 30-inch range, Fisher-Paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, high-efficiency Maytag washer that limits water usage and lessens impact on well and septic, Trane high-efficiency gas furnace as a backup for geothermal water-furnace system
Hardware: Much of our metal work was made by local craftspeople. We are also fortunate to have a relationship with a local cabinet manufacturer who assisted us with services such as spraying and surfacing hardware.
Furniture: The steel rocker in the granary is by Gail Fredell, who also has pieces in San Francisco's MOMA. Aside from our small Nakashima table and Windsor chairs made by Bob Dillon in Minnesota, nearly all our furniture is owner-made or second-hand. One of our best finds was an original Knoll Brno chair we had reupholstered in Madison by The Straight Thread. The chair cost $5.25, although the leather upholstery was a bit more! We embrace the classics but happily mix them with any pieces that are functional, tasteful, and affordable. To that end, we love our new IKEA Hemnes dresser!
Accessories: Cirrus ceiling fan from Modern Fan Co.
Lighting: One Nelson lamp and one Martz lamp from our college days; Juno remodel cans; other fixtures are recycled industrial lights, primarily Crouse-Hinds and Holophane, circa 1945-50
Rugs and Carpets: Our Iranian and Pakistani rugs were given to us by our good friend Kye. Two bedrooms are carpeted with surplus industrial wool felt, bought for $1.50 per square yard. We also have numerous small felt rugs that were stitched by an Amish friend.

Wonderful people, wonderful home.
Every time I've been lucky enough to visit Rick and Toni it's the attention to detail that gets me- the way the floor meets the stone wall and is completely flush, the beams that are sanded as smooth as they would be if they were furniture etc, etc. It's so inspiring.
this is a beautiful space, with character and grace -- I definitely want to sip a whisky sour in this pad with these owners!
"leelacyd" . . . you're welcome any time. the single greatest thing we enjoy about 80 acres, a house, a barn, guest quarters and a shop . . . is giving it over to anyone who cares to visit. cheers!
Put a kiln in your prairie art studio/retreat, and I'm there!
Question: Did you do anything to the old mortar on the interior, like seal it? We have an old stone detached garage (1910) we want to renovate into a studio, and exposing the stone like you did would be beautiful. Thing is, the mortar seems a little crumbly.
we'll do it ;-) . . . wood fired! re: sealing . . . we had to sandblast the interior, as it was rather blackened. that also gave us a chance to reveal more stone--less mortar. we DO plan to seal, but the mortar is NOT crumbly; we're fortunate in that respect. we DID seal the mortar in the living room; it enhances the stone NICELY.
Home, sweet home :)
WOW! Well edited, tasteful, homey, inventive. Just marvelous!
Sigh...love love love - too many wonderful "quiet touches" to mention. Hats off to your whole family (& friends) for their talent, creativity and hard work.
Hehe, is it just me, or does that little naked man look like he's wincing after bumping into one of those cacti
beautiful and respectful. i really want to see more comfy furniture need that wood stove though :-) that way i could imagine myself there.
wow. this is a very beautiful home. like a fairy tale...but more real...
this is absolutely wonderful! just beautiful :)
"akay" . . . i had the privilege to take a class from robert trotman ; suggest you check out his AMAZING work (http://www.bobtrotman.com/). the "wincing" little man is me . . .
I have a weakness for stone farmhouses...and this one has me swooning... Love, love...love!
I am so inspired by this home. More so by the family that dwell there. All of you are amazing and the work you did WILL last for generations. I hope that more people are convinced that you can live a modern life and keep history alive. Question: how do you seal the mortar? I live in a hand-built home of a stone worker and the fireplace he made "weeps" when it rains.
"sarashilvas" . . . we used a stone sealer on the interior stone, primarily to enhance its contrast/color. we DID apply an exterior sealer on the "ground-faced" block of our new addition, but I'm not certain that would help your stone fireplace. reading i've done suggests that "weeping" can often be caused by cracks/openings in mortar joints. if you can duplicate the weeping effect with a hose, maybe you'll discover that "repointing" some of the mortar joints will help . . . wishiknewmore ;-)
Thank You! I will look into it. :)
Pure magic. Love this house!!!
Your house is serene and awesome and makes me feel like leaning my cheek against the stone walls and those very tactile floors. Could you tell me where to get 'surplus industrial wool felt'? Would it be soft enough for a teenager who likes to walk barefoot? The little naked guy in the corner is perfect!
"brooklynS" . . . plenty "soft enough," and thanks for the kind words. drop us a line @ email@example.com and we'll try to help you out.
Impressive in every way. There are so many interest artifacts and pleasingly arranged spaces. Well done!
Thanks for the link! Don't get me wrong, I think it's a lovely piece -- maybe I'm just immature, but when I see a nude next to a cactus, I think "ouch!" :)
Do I spot a lovely Morso wood-buring stove in your living room? What an amazing and special place you have. The claw foot bathtub is divine, and the little granary makes me think it would be hard to leave. Cheers to creating a wonderful home, and doing it in such a way that is so very respectful.
Had the distinct pleasure of attending my college roommate's wedding at this wonderful home. These photos are beautiful, but actually seeing this home in person is really something. The warmth really comes through...and its entirely because of the warmth of the owners. Beautiful shoot.
Morso . . . and Jotul; we "only" have (4) woodstoves on the premises . . . ALL are wonderful stoves . . . beautiful AND efficient. thanks for the kind words.
I absolutely love all the exposed brick! Very well done!
Rick and Toni have made a truly warm environment in and out of this charming stone
home. Their wonderful talent is overpowered by their humility. A place to behold!
Especially loved the stone walls inside and out, plus the metal roof. The interior with a few contemportary pieces & leather set it off beautifully. Well done!
amazing!!!! love it!
oh, you poor things only have one pillow. just kidding. very nicely done. it must be a dream to live there.
I just discovered this home tour - incredible! I live in an area with old stone houses, and I always felt that the "add-on" parts looked strange - but the way you added on seems organically in tune with the original structure. And the beauty of the interior goes without saying. Well done!
I found some awesome recessed lights for my DIY project. The link was http://www.lightcraftmfg.com/products/recessed_lighting/120v_recessed.html.

One, two, let's hope the next one is not three and out. The infamous Lancaster County Council has done it now. Council has turned many yes votes into no. The yes in the northern part of the county is lost because their roads didn't make the list.
The yes in the center of the county is lost because they've shunned half of a library and fire departments will say no because their radios, which are lifesavers for all of us, have been rejected, well, not completely, but they might as well be. Why? Because our council cannot get its act together.
A recent article regarding the "bust" of a meth lab in Indian Land should have all of us grateful to Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile, and his drug task force.
These well-trained men and women should be recognized for a job well done.
Lancaster County Council, which holds much of the sheriff's purse strings, should understand, that as Lancaster County grows, so will the crime.
On several recent occasions you may have heard pundits or public officials claim that South Carolina has gotten rid of Common Core.
The implication is that the state has retaken power from the federal government over education policy. There's some truth in that, and it's certainly encouraging to see some state officials moving in that direction, but to claim South Carolina has regained sovereignty over its academic standards would be – unfortunately – far from the truth.
Nearly eight months after a "destroyed" State Ethics Commission letter was provided to The Nerve, the longtime director of the state ethics-watchdog agency still won't explain how the letter exists despite his earlier statements to the contrary.
But in a written response July 18 to The Nerve, Herb Hayden said a pending lawsuit against him and the Ethics Commission in connection with the letter in question has nothing to do with a new media policy announced at a recent commission meeting.
A federal nutrition program that places new restrictions on snacks and beverages sold in schools also provides an opportunity for some fresh thinking about school fundraisers.
As reported by The State newspaper recently, The Smart Snacks in Schools program creates a dilemma: how will schools raise private dollars if they can no longer sell snack foods?
How creative would it be simply to stop selling?
I have been reading and watching Lancaster County Council's 1-cent tax debacle and all I can say is it is a fiasco from start to finish.
It seems the county is playing "Johnny come lately," as is their usual mode of operation. Wait until the problem is so severe that only a rushed-through agenda with a poorly thought-out plan is their only way out.
Mattamy Homes has withdrawn its application to build a 900-home subdivision on the former Treetops property in northern Van Wyck. The project will not be built.
The decision was conveyed to Lancaster County in a letter signed by Tom Kutz, Mattamy vice president of land acquisition and development, dated July 14, although the fact did not become widely known until last week.
Lancaster County Council is expected to remove the pending ordinances from the table and vote them down at some point to clean up the council agenda.
With reference to the capital sales tax, Lancaster County Council is having trouble on what to do with this money. Well, let me help. I can't understand why this issue is so puzzling. Put the money where it is needed most. Lancaster County has a serious problem with skilled workers. An example for instance is the need for welders.

"Traditional meatloaf made creepy. Kids love this. Be sure to feed them before they go trick-or-treating. Serve with macaroni and cheese."

1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
onion, chopped
1 cup
chopped celery
2 pounds
lean ground beef
1 tablespoon
Cajun seasoning
1 cup
seasoned bread crumbs
pitted black olive, cut in half
1 cup
I had so much fun making this today! This is perfect for a pre-trick or treat dinner for your little ones. Especially if you have boys! The recipe for the meatloaf is better than what you usually see for this type of thing. The Cajun spice and sauteed vegetables are a great addition. I followed exactly as written but reduced amount of celery down to about 3/4 cup and used an equal amount of onion. I added 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture as well. For the "bloody" sauce I used 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. I added a row of corn kernels to make his mouth. I thought a real steak knife was a much better touch than a plastic one. Happy Halloween!!!
delicious. the family loved it and thought it looked really cool

Great recipe! It was actually my first time making meatloaf for the family, so I loved the idea of making into a fun shape for the kids. After the first time I made it, I've cut out the celery and added a little ketchup and Worchestershire sauce in the mix. The kids LOVE this, and we make different shapes for different seasons, including a football and Christmas tree!
This is a cute idea. Delicious, moist and creative! 5 stars!
I made this following the directions almost to a T. I added a little ketchup to the mix and some extra seasoning. It was fun and the kids liked it. Though it took over an hour to cook and you have to be really careful to keep the thickness the same or certain parts will be overdone while others parts are underdone. If I made this again I would halve the recipe as it was WAY too much for our family of four. We have been eating the leftovers all week and there is still a bunch left.
Wonderful! Kids thought this was the coolest thing!
Made this for recipe group. What a fun recipe! I didn't add the celery and increased onion, put a little cheese on for effect. A few little tweaks and we enjoyed making and eating this very much.
This was fun...can't say it was the best ever, but it was definitely fun for our annual Halloween dinner. definitely gross looking though- a perfect fit for Halloween.

More people than ever using New York's public libraries » MobyLives
- Of the ten branches in the city with the highest circulation, six are in neighborhoods in which immigrants make up a disproportionate share of the population: Flushing, Queens Central (in Jamaica), Kings Highway, Elmhurst, McKinley Park and Fresh Meadows.
- 37 percent of the city's population is foreign born, around 60 percent of residents are either immigrants or children of immigrants and nearly a quarter of the population is less than totally fluent in English.
- 2.9 million city residents don't have broadband Internet access at home.
- Since 2002, the city's three library systems have increased their total number of public access computers by 89 percent, with number of users rising just as fast or even faster. In the last five years alone, the number of computer sessions logged at public computers in the city's libraries has grown by 62 percent, going from 5.8 million sessions in 2007 to over 9.3 million in 2011. At NYPL alone, attendance at technology programs nearly doubled from 2003 to 2012, going from 30,000 to 58,541.
- At least 250 small businesses have been launched by clients that were advised at the Science and Business Library by mentors from SCORE(Service Corps of Retired Executives).
- The intensive literacy and pre-GED courses that the libraries offer—along with the many informal educational opportunities they provide—are critical in a city where nearly 30 percent of the working age population, or 1.6 million people, currently lack a high school diploma and which has one of the lowest GED attainment rates in the country.

Go, Myles, go! I am going to have some cake today to celebrate for you! ;)
I think they'll start showing that Terra Nova over here soon; they usually show the good shows a few weeks/months after they do in the US, so we're always behind on American TV. The last show we tried to watch was "The Event" and that got cancelled half way through its first season, so we haven't attached ourselves to any other American shows since then.
I love how you described that look, Erin. I can imagine it so well! We went for a walk with all the kids the other day (our 2 and SIL's 3) and we stopped at our local park. There were 3 boys already there about 10 years old playing soccer together. My nephew who is 4 said loudly to them, "You're going to have to mind us now that we're here." (American translation to that would be, "Be careful of us now that we're here.") LOL! The one boy said, "OK" and smiled. Hee hee.
I'm going to have to do some ironing now; Tuesday is my housekeeping day since Travis is in school til 3:15 and I don't do any volunteering on this day, so it's the only time I've got to do the big chores thoroughly.
I love that you still iron. And that you used a semicolon.
Um....we take care of that by wearing wrinkled clothes.
I don't even have a dryer right now! And let me tell you, not having a dryer is a TOTALLY different ball game than just having a clothesline. It's been cold and I'm out hanging clothes with frozen fingers. Sawyers diapers I usually hang for a few hours and throw in the dryer for about 15 minutes and they are good to go. They take almost 2 days to dry on the line.
I have actually learned to enjoy the time outside hanging clothes but that's in the spring and summer! The fall is different. And I often throw things in the dryer on "fluff" to make them soft after.
Line drying is just one of those things I *have* to do. It's that dam treehugger in me.
We hang clothes out, too, but I have to admit it's more because it's cheaper than using the dryer. Most of our neighbors are 60+ and they all hang their washing out all the time. I call them the die-hard English folk since most also have their own vegetable plots, and chickens and walk or take the bus everywhere. I think I'll slowly turn into one of those kind of people over time. :-)
I iron at least once a week. Usually I iron all of mine and Elle's clothes right after they are washed. I do Ky's uniforms sometimes too. I wished I had done them on Sunday after he washed because he was uber wrinkly this morning and I just didn't have time to iron it for him. He knows how to iron but takes an hour to iron two pairs of pants otherwise I would have made him do it.
I actually don't mind ironing.
Oddly enough (and hope I don't offend anyone) but my DH complains I don't iron enough. He says it is proof that I "don't care about how I look like white women do." Bear in mind that DH is from Chicago so didn't know many white people growing up or in his young adult life since it is very segregated. I always tell him he is nutty when he says this, plus it cracks me up because I know people from all races who don't iron . He says this when I rush out to the store or something in wrinkly sweat pants. I'm not a die hard ironer and only do work clothes.
Ash, you made me think I need to hire an Englishwoman to do my ironing. I would love someone to iron my curtains. They are rather wrinkly but I always talk myself out of doing it.
Bridget no dryer that would be miserable! I used to love hanging clothes on the line when I was younger, it was one of my fav chores since it got me out of the house away from everybody
We don't iron either, I don't care if it's wrinkled-I'm still going to wear it
My fridge is dying on me After my truck breaking down this past weekend (new battery + new key since apparently the theft system was rejecting mine after I had it jumped and scrambled the code sequence ) The only way for us to get a new fridge right now is to put it on credit which is seriously stressing me out! We are over extended as it is and have it worked out so we would be debt free (minus my truck) by March-April... and now this
I don't even have any curtains in my house.
I have an iron but I suck at it and rarely do it. I used to when DH had a job where he wore a dress shirt and tie every day. I generally look for clothes for me that don't need ironing....which is ok because I'm pear shaped and button down cotton shirts don't work well on me anyway.
I also line dry but inside. I hang them in the shower. I dry all clothes and pj's that way. Only stuff that goes in the dryer are sheets, blankets, towels, socks and undies. It's nice now because we have HE front loader and so usually stuff comes out pretty dry and after I hang them, they are totally dry in less than a day. Clothes last MUCH longer if they aren't put in a dryer....they don't shrink and they don't wrinkle (unless it's like 100% cotton) on a hanger.
freecycle? If you put a request up, someone may have an extra one they want you to haul off. Or even craigslist might have one for mot much money that will tide you over.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I've been checking craigslist despite DH's feelings on the matter anyways, but I'm so far out in the boonies I'm having a hard time finding something local. I'll check out freecycle though, never heard of that-thanks!
Oh, and I use Freecycle all the time. It's a wonderful place to get rid of stuff you no longer need and don't want the hassle of selling, and it's amazing what people will give away. One time I found a car offered for free that needed a lot of work. My dh & brother went to get it and took it in to the auto recycling place and got three or four hundred dollars for it! The people offering it had no way to tow it in and just wanted it gone. That was probably my best score, but I've gotten a decent weight bench there and given away 2 55-gallon aquariums.
Lol. I knew plumbed wasn't the correct word but I used it for quickness. Lol. We can put the dryer anywhere in the house since it doesn't need to be vented and most English houses don't have utility rooms.
I had my Mirena out and a new one inserted today, my first time ever doing that procedure since the first one was inserted at my 6 week pp appointment after Conner was born. If you remember, I was nervous about it but I have to say it wasn't bad at all. The worst was when they measured my uterus. I didn't even feel the Mirena being inserted.

Mayor Ballard honors "Golden Thirteen" naval officer with park renaming, dedication
Mayor Greg Ballard today was joined by Congressman André Carson, City-County Councillor Maggie Lewis, U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Mark D. Harnitchek, and friends and family of Lieutenant Junior Grade Graham Edward Martin to rename in his honor Fall Creek and 16th Street Park. Martin was one of 13 African-American enlisted men who became the first African-American commissioned and warrant officers in the U.S. Navy, known as "The Golden Thirteen."
"We recognize the significant contributions Lieutenant Martin made to our country as he redefined the face of the Navy as one of 'The Golden Thirteen,' as well as his impact on the City of Indianapolis," said Mayor Ballard. "I'm proud to name one of our parks after a man who stands out in history as a leader in so many ways."
The Department of Parks and Recreation Board voted in May to change the name of the park to Lieutenant Junior Grade Graham Edward Martin Park. Martin attended nearby Crispus Attucks High School and excelled on the football team and in the classroom as the valedictorian and president of his senior class. In 1941 he graduated from Indiana University, where he played college football, and earned a master's degree from Howard University in 1942 before enlisting in the Navy. At that time in military history African-Americans were segregated from the rest of the Navy community.
Martin was assigned to the Naval Training Center in Great Lakes, Ill., and eventually allowed to play football. In 1944, the Navy chose Martin as one of the first 13 African-American men to train to become officers. They were commissioned as officers and created a path that changed the armed forces forever. Martin served four year in the Navy as a ship commander.
"This dedication is a fitting legacy to a man who delivered historic service to his nation and community," said Congressman Carson.
Martin returned to Indianapolis to coach varsity football and baseball at Crispus Attucks High School from 1947-1982. Graham was a member of the Indiana Club, Varsity Club IU Alumni Association, and Navy League, life member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and of the NAACP, and he attended Phillips Temple Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. He was married to his high school sweetheart, Alma Patterson, for 57 years and had one child, Elayne Graham.
"It is with great pride that I send this thank you to the City of Indianapolis for the renaming of the park in honor of my father, Graham E. Martin," said Elayne Graham Lewis. "My father was proud to represent this city as a member of the IU football team and the United States Navy. He often attributed his success to the education and character building skills he acquired at Crispus Attucks High School. He was a very humble man who never sought attention for himself but always fought for justice for his students and fellow citizens."
The dedication ceremony for Lieutenant Junior Grade Graham Edward Martin Park took place during 2011 Navy Week in Indianapolis. Indianapolis is one of 21 cities across the country hosting 2011 Navy Week, celebrating a proud, 100-year history of naval service to our country.
"We are so proud that the City of Indianapolis and its citizens are paying tribute to one of our own – an officer who overcame surmountable obstacles as one of 'The Golden Thirteen.' Martin was a pioneer by setting an example for our African-American sailors and officers who serve in our Navy today," said Vice Admiral Harnitchek. "Sailors, officers and Navy civilians are called to serve – to defend freedom at home or abroad, and they do so with honor, courage and commitment, like Lieutenant Martin did many years ago. They have answered the call to serve America, protect the nation's security and carry out the Maritime Strategy every day around the globe."

2013 Nissan Sentra
Nissan Brings A Subtle All-Arounder To The Toughest Block In Town Creating a competitive new compact sedan in the US is perhaps the hardest chore that big automakers face today. Shoppers in this slice of the market really do require a single vehicle that will do just about everything for them: get great fuel economy, give a comfortable and confident ride, have a usable back seat with plenty of cargo space, offer an abundance of techy bells and whistles. At the top-spec levels, today's compacts face competition from entry-level midsizers, while at the bottom end they must compete with... Read More

Nissan's Sentra Nismo Concept made its world debut at the LA Auto Show today as part of the Japanese automaker's intitiative to expand its performance line of factory performance models, and it's packing a turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with 240 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque - that's 110 hp more than the regular Sentra. Of course, no ...
Starting with the 2013 Altima, Nissan will be launching five all-new products in the United States over the next 15 months. And while the sedan you see here is initially heading to China as the Nissan Sylphy, it'll be heading to our shores as the Sentra later this year, albeit with a few market-specific tweaks.

When you moved past the econo-potato styling of the last generation Sentra and got behind the wheel of the SE-R variant, you'd experience an entertaining FWD ride.

7-Keto DHEAI was a few pounds overweight.I started off with one capsule every morning with my DHEA 25 mg. After a few weeks, I found that i was losing too much weight. I spoke to the health adviser who suggested i take the 100 mg7-Keto DHEA twice per week. This was a good suggestion and that is what i continue to do. I still take this product every Monday and Thursday and my regular DHEA 25 mg. every day.

About Me Nurse Practitioner
I was skeptical about adding another supplement to my regimen, so I purchased a single bottle of 60 capsules. I am back today to order four more. I notice an increase in energy without feeling nervous. I feel my mood has improved, and I have lost 2lbs. this month, despite overeating carbohydrates during the holidays. I take this as directed, and I would recommend this to friends.

Not for me
By Val
from Wisconsin
I was going to try this product for 2 weeks to see if I noticed anything at all. I took it for 4 days and had to stop. I began to feel puffy as though I was retaining water. I gained weight. I stopped this product after 4 days. Don't spend your money.

Works well when combined with exercise
By Lumara
from Tennessee
I used this for several months and walked 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time, as recommended by Life Extension. I lost weight, and it worked very well. It won't work, though, unless you exercise regularly while you're taking it, as I have since discovered.

Why does the Western world think democracy is a magical, catch all solution?
There seems to be this sort of prevalent attitude in the Western world that democracy is something of a catch all solution for all the world's political problems.
Now, lets just get this out of the way. This isn't some pro-autocracy/democracy is bad argument, I believe the system has many benefits. I'm not for one second disputing all the good its done in many countries. What I am claiming, is that there are situations where its not the right answer.
Take for example the recent revolution and election in Egypt. Dictator toppled, Muslim Brotherhood elected democratically, uses democratic tools to get rid of democracy, toppled by military. If it wasn't for the military, chances are Egypt would have been going down the road to being a theocracy right now.
The same happens whenever a country with a long standing tradition of politically active religious groups with a wide voting base. Any democratic election will lead to democracy being canceled in short order.
While I dislike using it as an example, it also can't be ignored that Hitler originally rose to power democratically. The same is true for many other dictators, of both religious and secular leanings. That's what happens when a democratic tradition simply isn't there.
Any transition to democracy, needs to be done carefully, and with the bare minimum force of arms. Its not something that can be rammed down people's throats, and there are simply situations where the political climate doesn't allow it work.
I'm trying to get some insight as to why the western world doesn't see that?

Georgia State has picked up a couple of football commitments.
Tevin Jones, a defensive lineman from Luella High School, and safety Rameak Smith of South Carolina's Woodland High School, both pledged to Georgia State over the weekend.
Georgia State now has eight commitments for its 2013 recruiting class, according to PantherTalk.com.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Jones picked Georgia State over scholarship offers from UConn, Florida International, Appalachian State and Jacksonville State.
"His mom and dad had a big influence on that decision, and I think being close to home was very, very important so his parents could see him play," said Luella assistant James Roberts.
"Georgia State is getting an unbelievable football player. He causes chaos. This season, he has 10 solo tackles and 43 overall, including 6.5 tackles for a loss. On Friday, he blocked a kick and scored a touchdown on it. He can use his hands and he can use his speed. He's a fantastic football player."
Meanwhile, the 6-2, 190-pound Smith picked Georgia State over Newberry. He made an unofficial visit with the Panthers on Saturday.
"It felt like family; I was very comfortable there," Smith said. "They have a lot to offer, both on and off the field."

October 11th, 2012
5:11 pm
You know, I've heard UGA talk trash and actually believe that they are and have always been an elite program. They have never been one of the elite programs. Yea. Walker year was nice but UGA reminds me of Oklahoma in that they always underachieve. The difference is Oklahoma has been an elite program. Georgia never. I find it funny and sad that doggy fans are having a back and forth with my Georgia State. We are just getting started and Georgia is already putting them down. Boy, that S. Carolina loss really got them on defense and bitter. And no, they won't be in the dome this year.

Any day is a good day to start teaching children about saving and investing. But the "official" Teach Children to Save day is April 29, so you may want to take this opportunity to launch your efforts toward helping your children develop solid financial habits.
The American Bankers Association Education Foundation established national Teach Children to Save day to highlight the importance of teaching children to save and plan for the future.
But as a parent, what steps can you take? Here are a few suggestions:
. Explain the "three pools" concept.
Encourage your children to divide their money into three pools: one for saving, one for spending and one for giving.
The "spending" pool should be for fairly inexpensive purchases, such as small toys, whereas the "saving" pool should be earmarked for bigger purchases they may want to eventually make, such as video games or a new bicycle. You may want to suggest that your children use the "giving" pool to put aside money for birthday presents or contributions to charitable groups.
. Exhibit appropriate behavior. Children may learn best by imitating their elders, so it's important that you set a good example in the area of smart financial behavior. Take the time to explain to your children that, for instance, you'd like to buy a new car, but you can't afford one now, so you are saving up for it. And look for similar opportunities to stress the connections between saving and reaching goals.
. Simplify the concept of investing. You might think that young children can't grasp the meaning of investing, but that's not really the case. Just use simple terms and concepts, and they'll get it. You might say: "Anyone can buy little parts of a company. These little parts are called stocks, and the more that people like what the company makes, the more stock they will buy, the more the stocks have the potential to be worth."
You can then connect the potential growth of stocks with the achievement of very long-term goals, such as a new home or the chance to retire comfortably.
. Make investing fun. You can make investing seem more real to your kids by playing a "stock-picking" game. Each member of your family could choose to follow the stock of a company with which the kids are familiar. You can create a daily chart of the stock's prices, and at the end of a given period of time, such as three months, award a prize to the person whose stock has gone up the most.
During this time, make sure to point out to your kids that stock prices will always go up and down and, in as "child-friendly" a way as possible, try to explain some of the key factors: demand for products, competition, basic economic forces, that cause stock prices to fluctuate.
Teach Children to Save day only lasts 24 hours, but the financial lessons you can impart to your children will stick with them for a lifetime.

idk, I mean if you're smart about it piercing your own body by yourself can actually be safe
if you're smart about it
I hate when people say "IT'LL GET INFECTED", if you get it professionally done but you don't do the after care correctly it can get infected too.
If research enough, and read up, and have the right sterilized crap you need, and have after care solutions and stuff you'll be fine
~my opinion
If you self-pierce and don't follow through with aftercare, you'll also get an infection so make a better point there.
You can research and read all you want on a piercing, that doesn't mean you're getting the right and adequate enough information to preform the procedure yourself. You will not always be fine, it's actually likely you won't be fine. Also, if you're in an unsanitary environment, the fact that the tools were sterile won't matter as they are now covered in disgusting bacteria (something called cross contamination).

Every City official and employee - including the mayor, a police or fire department officer, a City Council member, a health or construction inspector, a librarian, a sanitation worker, a secretary, a mechanic, or anyone holding a position that keeps the City running - is a public servant. The public includes you and everyone else who lives in, works, and visits Philadelphia.
Public servants must perform their jobs without regard for financial conflict of interest or political affiliation, giving all members of the public equal consideration. No member of the public gets extra favors or less service than any other.
To make sure that City officials and employees treat all citizens fairly and equally, the State of Pennsylvania and City of Philadelphia have rules that:
But you must operate fairly, too. You may not seek favorable treatment in dealing with the City by offering gratuities, gifts, or other benefits to any City official or employee with whom you deal. And, you are expected to pay applicable taxes and fees that pay for the City services you receive. If you do business in the City you must obtain and keep a business privilege license.
We encourage you to review the Integrityworks website to learn about how the City of Philadelphia operates ethically. If you have any questions or comments about integrity in City government, please write to email@example.com.
"Ethics" or "integrity" doesn't cover all difficulties you may face.
For example, if you need a lawyer to address your legal problems, you should contact the Philadelphia Bar Association referral service or Community Legal Services. If you have an issue regarding a utility bill, you should contact that utility company. If you have an issue concerning a city tax or fee, you should contact the City's Revenue Department.
If you have a true "ethics" concern relating to any City ordinance, financial disclosure, standards of governmental conduct, campaign finance matters, prohibited political activity, or a conflict of interest, you should contact the Ethics Board at 215-686-9450 or at www.phila.gov/ethicsboard.

A--Sequester: To set apart, as to sequester a jury; to seclude or withdraw.
B--Sequester: Failure of the Congress to reach agreement on cuts to the national budget by March 1 automatically triggers cuts (sequestration) of 2.5 percent, or about $85 billion from spending programs.
C—According to our nation's best and brightest leaders, when B occurred (late last Friday), schools, hospitals, prisons, airports, day care centers and assistance programs targeting the poor and middle classes would shut down, our military would cease to exist as we once knew it, the sky would darken and the Earth would split somewhere along a line between Seattle and Miami.
In fact, Her Cluelessness Rep. Maxine Waters (D-LaLaLand) claimed during a news conference on Feb. 28 that "over 170 million jobs" could be lost due to sequestration which she says is, naturally, the fault of Republicans. By the way...are there that many jobs in the country?
Funny thing. The sun rose again today, birds were singing, loaded school busses made their appointed rounds, B-52s cruised the skies, no hardened criminals had received a get-out-of-jail card...your humble observer could continue, but I think you get the point. In fact, I was extra careful pulling into traffic to avoid being mowed down by a frantic chicken speeding through the streets clucking catastrophic warnings.
Funnier thing. Politicians (from the uttermost to the guttermost) who had been predicting doomsday both from the bully pulpit and before anything that resembled a camera are now saying things won't be really that bad.
While President Barak Obama seemed a little less pessimistic in his statements as he signed an order putting sequester into effect, Speaker of the House John Boehner said during an interview Sunday that he doesn't know if the forced spending cuts would actually have a negative impact on the nation's economy.
"I don't know whether it's going to hurt the economy or not," Boehner said. "I don't think anyone quite understands how the sequester is really going to work."
Thanks for confirming what many of us have suspected for some time, JB. Neither you nor your co-conspirators have a clue about another mega-important eco-budgetary puzzle to which Congress continually loses key pieces.
Remember, friends, this is a Congress which has not spent within its means since Moby Dick was a tadpole. And while the governmental agencies have until Oct. 1 to shave that $85 billion from a budget that still hasn't been passed by the Senate, don't bet that deadline will be met.
We heard for weeks the hyperbole (presented to the point of nausea by a willing media) coming from both parties as blame was tossed about like a game of "pin the tail on the donkey" gone wild. The truth is that sequestration was merely a tool which leveraged yet another half a trillion dollar increase in the nation's debt ceiling. The Budget Control Act of 2011 was signed into law in August of that year and brought closure to the 2011 "debt crisis" which threatened to sending us tumbling over the "fiscal cliff" and into default.
I'd bet a dollar to a donut that our boys and girls were asked to just go ahead and vote for the oxymoronic BCA and the accompanying sequester trigger in 2011 with the calming assurance that "after we pass it, we'll read it and have someone explain it to us."
And despite calling it "President Obama's sequestration," Mr. Boehner fails to recall that he claimed to get "98 percent of what I wanted in the deal," and led the effort when the House passed that great oxymoron by a 269-161 margin. The Senate voted likewise 74-26. Neither party can blame the other for the failure to reach an agreement. It's been more than a year of doing nothing, something for which Congress is becoming famous.
In other words, our elected officials...all of them...voted to kick the can down the road and now their foot's caught in the can. I, too, believe it's time to kick some cans down the road and that includes applying collective podiatry to posteriors of Dumbocrats, Repugnantans, Undependents and all other party namers who occupy the hallowed seats of Congress.
If we insist in keeping those we have in office, then the least we can do is to force a little sequestration definition A on our Congresspeople. Until the budget is balanced and unnecessary spending (like that little IRS television studio which operates on a $4 million annual budget) is brought under control, our hired hands would be treated the same as a sequestered jury.
That means staying in a less-than-four star-hotel, no television, no newspapers and no contact with those outside the Congress halls until you finish the job. Oh yeah...that sequestration would also mean no face time on camera, no newspaper interviews, no fundraisers, no Washington parties (and their amenities) and dining on the same food as the great unwashed.
No U.S. representative or senator could tolerate such cruel and unusual torture. We'd have a balanced budget in a matter of hours.
