I actually felt a little bad after I criticized Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer for only taking two weeks of maternity leave. I thought maybe I should have been more supportive of her choice, even if it did send a pretty messed up message. Only now, she's gone and taken away a big choice for her employees, and I don't feel bad at all criticizing her for this one. Because to be blunt -- it sucks. Big time.
Last week, she announced that employees will no longer be permitted to work remotely. All Things D got a hold of the internal memo, which read in part: "Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together."
And with that -- one more big, huge slap in the face of working parents.
Working from home is one of the only ways some working parents can make it work. When work/life balance is already elusive enough, why would she attempt to try and take this away? It sets such a horrible precedent, and it's not only harmful to parents, but to her company who will surely lose valuable talent by not showing flexibility.
More from The Stir: Sherri Shepherd Has an Inspiring Message for Working Moms (VIDEO)
I worked for a huge software corporation before my son was born. When he came into this world prematurely, my rapid ascent up that ladder came to an abrupt halt as I spent months in the hospital with him and ended up quitting my job because of the care he needed at home. Fortunately, for me, my manager at that time didn't want to lose me and offered me a job working from home. It was a great arrangement for me, and really for the company, who already had a well-trained employee with a great track record. Why let someone like that go just because she can't be in the office?
When we moved across the country, the job had shifted a bit where I needed to be in the office once in awhile, and I couldn't do it from Florida, but I managed to find other jobs that have let me work remotely for the past nine years. If I hadn't, I don't know what I'd be doing or if I'd be working. It certainly would be harder.
I've been fortunate, but I've always been baffled as to why more companies don't allow or even encourage telecommuting. With technology today, there's often no reason not to, and in return you get happier employees who are often as productive, if not more productive, than those who work from the office.
Working from home is no breeze. It takes discipline, focus, and childcare. But it also offers the flexibility that many moms need to make it work. I literally don't have time to take a shower some days until late at night, but that's okay because no one is going to see me sitting here in my home office. Every minute counts in the life of a working mom, and those minutes I would spend primping and prepping to go into an office are instead spent on work. If I had to tack on a commute each way to my job and do all the standard chit chat that goes on when you're around coworkers, I would work fewer hours, plain and simple. When I work at home, I'm heads down focused on my job.
I know a lot of women who work remotely, and we work as hard if not harder than those who report into an office. Without face time with a manager, it's our work that must speak for us. There are downsides as well, but for me, it's the best situation I can imagine in which I can do meaningful work and still manage to keep my family running somewhat smoothly.
As with everything, it comes down to the individual. I'm sure there are those who take advantage of telecommuting, and there are definitely jobs that require an office presence. But there are also a large number of highly qualified, talented people who can do a job from home just as well if not better than they can in an office. So to put a big blanket policy in effect that takes away that option for everyone is ridiculous and disappointing, especially from a woman who should know better. Shame on her.
What do you think of Marissa Mayer's policy against employees working from home?
Image via Julie Ryan Evans
I don't see how its a huge slap in the face to working parents.
I'm a telecommuter for a fortune 500 company... my contract explicitly states that I must have care for my dependents. So, I'm sure many telecommuters have similar contracts. Sure, you get away with what you can, but the reality is that you should already being dealing with childcare anyway.
I actually prefer working in an office... but due to demographics, it isn't possible for my position.
If I couldn't work from home on occasion, I would probably not be working my current job--or at least I'd be much more miserable doing so. My job is very demanding and unpredictable. The ability to work from home when something comes up at 9PM or 7AM or over the weekend not only makes my job more bearable, but also makes it much easier to get things done for a client quickly. If every time something arose unexpectedly I had to hightail it into the office, it would take me MUCH longer to get my work done.
Another perk of being able to work remotely, is that if something comes up that keeps me home for part of the day, I can start working immediately once I take care of whatever I need to. Working from home on such days, I am apt to work longer and harder because I am so thankful to have this degree of flexibility and because I do not feel resentful that I had to spend 1.5hrs commuting to and from the office when I already had a taxing day.
As a mom, working from home permits me to put my son to bed at 8:30 most nights because I can leave the office in time to tuck him in and then continue working after he's gone to sleep. Working from home increases my productivity, my happiness and my dedication to my workplace.
While I don't wish ill on others, I hope implementing this policy does not improve speed and quality as hoped, and instead reflects that there are MANY benefits to being able to work remotely.
Um, I'm sure this come as a surprise to you, Julie, but business are in business to make money, not to babysit panty-waisted, selfish adults who think life is all about helping them erase the consequences for their choices. If your family really comes first to you then stay home with your kids. Don't make your problems someone elses problems. Being a parent is your choice (remember that word?), working is your choice. It's up to you to figure out how to make it work.
Wow, a lot of commentors here DID NOT get the message :/. How could they have kids, really :/.
I understand precisely where you are coming from! Telecommuting has been fantastic for my family, and in fact I (the one that does NOT telecommute) is the one that's paying the price!
Children get sick, that's a fact. This year, mine got sick OFTEN! Its hard to tell your boss that "you have to take off again because someone's throwing up all over the place". Its jus so much easier to work from home. While the kiddo is asleep (they sleep a lot when they are sick usually) you can get some work done.
Also, with telecommuting, they don't hound on you all day long! They give you a project, ask you about it once in a while, but they give you a due date (usually in a day or two......or a week or two). So, you end up doing the work when you can (during the day....if kids sick, do it at night when SO comes home).
I think this is BAD for the work/life balance :/. The way she went about it was cold.
I've been teleworking for the past 7 years and it's been the best thing that could have possibly happened to me. It enables me to do my job, and do it well, but still have a good family life. I couldn't do that if I spent 3 hours a day in my car commuting. My employer realizes that treating employees well and understanding that everyone has a life outside the office is what generates loyalty and dedication. The teleworking benefits are what have kept me with the organization through lean times, no raises, and increasing benefit costs. I have always had childcare arrangements in place so that I can get my work done without distractions. I use technology to connect with my co-workers and we have plenty of ways that we can bat around ideas that don't require sitting in the same physical space. If my employer can do it, I'm pretty sure that Yahoo could figure it out, too. This move may prove to be disasterous for Yahoo when the employees go looking for more progressive places to work.
Floridamom96-I hope you aren't an employer.

Arkansas Health Insurance
Arkansas HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMS
ARKids First - The ARKids First program is designed to provide health coverage for uninsured children and low-income pregnant women.
Arkansas BreastCare Program - Low-income women in Arkansas can get screening for breast or cervical cancer, and if diagnosed with either, can get full health insurance coverage through Medicaid.
Common Health Conditions in Arkansas
- Skin cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Asthma
Arkansas Health Insurance Regulations
Arkansas has moderate health insurance regulations. It's especially important to familiarize yourself with them, so you know which freedoms insurance companies can exercise and which ones they can't. Health insurance policies are regulated by each state's own health insurance laws. Arkansas health insurance companies and policyholders alike must abide by established insurance laws. Some of the most important Arkansas health insurance laws are the ones regulating the health insurance policy specifically. The most basic provision required by all Arkansas health insurance policies is the guaranteed renewability provision. This provision prevents Arkansas health insurance companies from denying your request to renew your existing health insurance policy. A second, less likeable provision, is the pre-existing condition exclusion provision. Under Arkansas health insurance laws, Arkansas health insurance companies are allowed to permanently or temporarily exclude coverage for any pre-existing medical condition. What this means, is that your health insurance company is not required to reimburse you for the cost of any treatment relating to the pre-existing condition. This provision can either be in effect for a few years or for the entire life of your health insurance policy, depending upon your policy and health insurance company. State insurance laws define pre-existing conditions differently. Arkansas health insurance laws define it as any condition you've received medical treatment for prior to the beginning of your health insurance. Arkansas health insurance laws do not strict policy restrictions. For instance, Arkansas health insurance companies are allowed to refuse you coverage or charge you more for coverage on the basis of your health. Your health status is not only initially taken into account. Every renewal of your Arkansas health insurance can result in significant increase in your premiums based on your age or declining health. However, unless you have violated your contract, no Arkansas health insurance company can refuse to renew your existing health insurance policy. This guarantees that at no time can your policy be canceled because you have fallen ill. Knowing this, you can see how it is essential for you to be young and healthy in order to get a low costing Arkansas health insurance policy. There are occasions when you will have breaks between health insurance coverage. During this time, it is important that you obtain some sort of temporary insurance to fill in the gaps in you coverage. In Arkansas, temporary health insurance is available in the form of conversion policies. You are eligible for a conversion health insurance policy if you have recently left a fully insured group policy. A conversion policy is designed to provide you with health insurance coverage during your transition between health insurance coverage. It is not meant to be used a your permanent Arkansas health insurance. Conversion policy premiums may be much higher than your previous health insurance premiums and the medical benefits covered under the policy may not be the same of your former policy's benefits.

This video shows how Unicore increases the safety of a climbing rope.
These are described here as twin ropes...
Tom Pierce
Member since
These are described here as twin ropes with a 5.1Kn impact force. But the ropes are marked as double ropes, not twins (I just received these from Backcountry), and on further investigation the 5.1Kn impact rating seems to be for use as double ropes, not twins. The impact force when used as twins appears to be higher. What light can you shed on this issue? I plan to use these as twins and don't want to do so if the impact force when used as twins isn't as advertised (I do a lot of adventure climbing on suspect rock). Please advise, many thanks.

Hey Tom,
Thanks for pointing our our error. This rope is a half or double rope and is not a twin. All specs are based on this discrepancy which I will be sure to have changed promptly. Sorry for that inconvenience.

Microorganisms Study Guide
Microorganisms (microbes) are very small, and most of them cannot be seen with the unaided eye, requiring the use of a microscope or at least a magnifying lens. We can also detect microorganisms by chemical tests. These living beings are everywhere, even in extreme environments such as very hot springs, very cold and dry areas, and even deep in the ocean under tremendous pressure. Some of these organisms cause diseases in animals, plants, and humans; however, most are beneficial to us and the Earth's ecosystems. In fact, we are utterly dependent upon microbes for our quality of life. This lesson will discuss three types of microorganisms: bacteria, protists, and fungi.
Bacteria are microorganisms that do not have a true nucleus; their genetic material is free floating within the cell. Bacteria are very small one-celled organisms and do not contain very complex cell structures. Generally, bacteria come in three varieties: bacilli (rod-shaped), cocci (sphere-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). Bacteria are prevalent in all environments and are important members of an ecosystem. They are responsible for the breakdown of dead organic matter into its constituent molecules. For this reason, we call bacteria decomposers. They also can be eaten by other organisms and are thus valuable in food-chain relationships. Since bacteria are small, can divide asexually very rapidly, can live practically anywhere, and have great metabolic versatility, they are the most numerous organisms on Earth. Many bacteria, when placed in good conditions, can reproduce every 20 or 30 minutes, each doubling its population after each reproduction.
Benefits of Bacteria
To illustrate the importance of bacteria, let's look at the cycling of the element nitrogen that is used by organisms to make proteins. We will start with dead plants that are being decomposed by bacteria. The nitrogen from the plant tissue is released into the atmosphere, and nitrifying bacteria converts that nitrogen into ammonia-type compounds. Other bacteria act upon these compounds to form nitrates that plants absorb. When these new plants die, we are back again at the decomposing bacteria that release the plant's nitrogen back into the atmosphere.
Bacteria are even in our intestinal tracts to aid in the digestion of food and the manufacturing of vitamins. We derive many benefits from bacteria, but they can also cause us to suffer with diseases.
Bacterial Diseases
Microorganisms, including bacteria, cause many diseases. These organisms enter our bodies in a variety of ways, including airborne transmission, ingestion by mouth, or through the skin when it is cut or injured. We can eliminate this threat by disinfecting utensils and hands or even by the sterilization of objects (the application of high-pressure steam heat). All these methods destroy bacteria and other microorganisms that may cause disease.
This group is composed of single-celled organisms that have their genetic material contained within a nucleus and have some specialized structures within their cells. These organisms are considered to be more primitive than other organisms with cellular nuclei, but they are more evolved than bacteria (Kingdom Monera). This is a diverse Kingdom consisting of organisms with varied structures and functions, such as amoeba and paramecium. Some of this Kingdom's members are autotrophic and contain chlorophyll, whereas others are heterotrophic and must eat other organisms. It is believed that early protists were both animal- and plant-like because they were able to obtain food in both ways. Today, a protist called Euglena does this. Protists are important parts of food chains and ecosystems, and some protists cause disease.

On July 4th, FreedomWorks blogger Rossputin posted an essay called, "Happy Dependence Day," in which he accused employees of GM, AIG, Citigroup, the Department of Education and lobbyists of being "the antithesis of this nation's founding, the antidote to liberty and free markets, the source of the smiley-faced fascism which creeps further into our lives daily." But as Chris Harris of Media Matters Action points out, by attacking lobbyists, Rossputin was inadvertently attacking the chairman of FreedomWorks, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who is currently a lobbyist with the high-powered D.C. lobbying firm DLA Piper. Read a list of Armey's lobbying clients here.

Dad (In Memoriam)
Why do people have to die?
Why is life full of lies?
Why does this world live in pain?
Why is life such a strain?
I wake each day and wonder why
I find it hard to break down and cry
My mind keeps wandering to the past
Why couldn't those days last?
The way you held me on your knee
And made me see what you wanted to see
You taught me what was right and wrong
Why can't I be just as strong?
Perhaps one day I'll be happy too
Maybe soon when I'm with you
But dad please tell me what it's like
Not having to struggle, not having to fight.
Is it worth the sorrow living in this world?
Where loneliness is my chosen word,
Maybe one day I'll find a love that's true
A love that was felt between me and you.
But when its time to meet you in heaven,
I hope like you my sins are forgiven.

The ContiProContact features unparalleled wet-braking capacity and year-round traction. This tire performs with outstanding handling, control and high-speed capability. Straight circumferential groove for greater water evacuation and outstanding braking on wet surfaces. Central rib reduces tread pattern noise level for a quiet ride. Optimized shoulder lug stability for enhanced steering response. Optimized sipes with defined radius create an interlocking effect for improved stability and dry handling.
ContiProContact's PROactive Edge Technology pushes the limits of innovation. The patterned edge design yields increased grip and a quiet ride. The ContiProContact gives you the confidence to drive your high-performance vehicle to the level you want.
Each ContiProContact tire has at least 800 pattern edges in its tread. The more edges a tire has, the more grip it has. PROactive Edge Technology is more than just the quantity of edges in the tread; it is also the shape of the pattern edges. Edges are most effective when they are perpendicular to the direction of travel. The engineers at Continental designed the edges in an arched pattern so that there are more active edges in the contact patch. And no matter what the direction of travel is, there are always edges with the right orientation.
Since your tire contact patch is comparable to the size of a postcard, it is critical to maximize the contact patch interaction with the road. And with maximum edge contact in every direction of travel, tire traction will be optimized in dry, wet, and snowy conditions. Knowing that your tires have been designed for superior traction is especially comforting when you need to make those unexpected sharp turns.
By adding a curved design to the edges, the pattern elements transfer effortlessly from edge to edge. Tires with straight edges have a more harsh transition, which creates tire noise.
The ContiProContact's low noise level is one of the reasons why the ContiProContact is original equipment on many high-end automobiles, such as BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar.

Our Mission -
The Shanti Uganda Society improves the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of communities impacted by war, poverty and HIV/AIDS in Uganda.
Through the use of yoga, the healing arts and health education, participants are empowered to heal from the inside out and to facilitate positive change in their communities. Birth Programs improve child and maternal health and restore traditional birthing practices in rural communities through education and birth assistance. Sustainable community development initiatives include a scholarship and skills training program and income generating initiatives for women with HIV/AIDS.
Birth Education, Assistance and Training
The birthing culture in Uganda has been deeply impacted by medicalization. This has largely impacted traditional birthing practices and resulted in high intervention rates. In a country where sanitation and medical facilities are lacking, high cesarean section rates, routine episiotomy and other interventions lead to infection and death. Without continued access to education and supplies, these practices put the birthing mother and her child at risk.
We offer educational workshops for midwives and traditional birth attendants, preventative care, birth supplies and assist birthing women in the gentle welcoming of their babies. Our approach to women's health is holistic, comprehensive, preventative and empowering. We see this model as a basic human right and one that will foster sustainable, safe and peaceful communities.
Our goal is to lower maternal and infant mortality rates, reduce HIV/AIDS transmission rates from mother to child, improve access to education and supplies and honour every birthing woman.
The Shanti Uganda Birth House & Learning Centre
In partnership with the Earth Rising Foundation, Bishop Asili Clinic, the community of Kakira-Soweto and with the financial support of Off The Mat Into The World, building for the Birth House & Learning Centre begins Nov 2009.
This community project will be made with natural building materials and will provide a safe place for women to receive care and birth their babies in an empowering, home-like environment where they receive nutritious food from the garden and continual support. It will also provide space to hold workshops with local midwives and Traditional Birth Attendants and give the women in the income-generating group a place to meet and work.
Currently the women in the community have no health centre or access to medical support when complications arise during the birth process. By the time they make their way on the back of a bumpy motorcycle ride to the closest clinic, it is often too late. Our goal is to lower maternal and infant mortality rates, reduce HIV/AIDS transmission rates from mother to child, improve birth outcomes and access to education for Traditional Birth Attendants and provide a safe and empowering place for women to welcome their babies into the world. In addition, it will provide employment opportunities for the local community.
Yoga and Health
Yoga provides children and youth the tools they need to discover their bodies, emotions and feelings. These classes are held with both young children and youth and provide them with the opportunity to gather together, share their feelings, work as a team and reduce stress. Many of the children supported in the program have lost loved ones and experienced a great deal of trauma in their young lives. Classes include partner work, art, relaxation techniques, laughter and sharing. We focus on the importance of healing the self and then taking those changes out into our communities.
We also run a special group for teen girls where the girls are introduced to the benefits of yoga, given reusable menstrual pads and the opportunity to discuss health related issues.
Nutritional Health
The Shanti Uganda Society supports locally initiated projects that improve the nutritional health of communities on an ongoing basis. Our chicken coop project was built by the local community and increases the daily nutritional intake of children who have lost either one or both parents.

"Anyone who has bought a ticket will receive a full refund! It will take us a few weeks to sort this out so please be patient but rest assured no one will be ripped off.

As for Producer, we will be producing it ourselves with help from the in house engineer and owner Phi. The decision to produce ourselves was made after a lot of thought and discussion, we have built up a lot of experience between us over the years and felt that we could do a good job and more importantly this would give us more control over the album, it will sound how we want it too. We have worked with some good producers on previous albums and they have all stmped there personalities onto the release that's what producers do, but this time it will all be ours. More...
Hecate Enthroned Disc to Land on Easter
Hecate Enthroned have posted the following band update at their official website:
"At last! After months in the making we are pleased to announce that the next album has been written and titled. It will be called Acts of God and will include the following tracks; 'Overriding Imagination', 'Choose Misanthropy', 'I Am Born Pt III - An Eternal Belief', 'The Face of Betrayal', 'No One Hears', 'The Shining Delight', 'Headhunter' and 'Soil of Sin'. There is also one other untitled track, an instrumental, as well as an acoustic track written by Andy and Nige and an intro/outro.
The songs are more guitar orientated this time with an overall heavy feel to them partly because of the way they were written and partly down to some new equipment, however the trademark Hecate 'keys' and 'acoustics' are still evident. We feel these songs have been blended together well, the heavy aggressive and the esoteric parts sitting better together, hence the longer time taken over them. We're sure that this album will satisfy the faithful out there as well as any lover of good extreme metal. Lyrically is all satanically themed, though disguised in some cases such as 'Soil Of Sin'. We've still got the overt blasphemy though with songs like 'An Eternal Belief'. We've certainly not been tamed by age! More...

Host multiple sites on same box?
New to web hosting here...Couple questions
1. What is the general school of thought on hosting different sites in the same box, versus putting them each on their own boxes (virtual or physical). Should we be putting each site on it's own vm? Or is it ok to combine two irrelevent sites on the same box?
2. Let's say I have a domain Company.com that links to my static IP. Now I have two subdomains for my company, but they are unreleated. For example: voip.company.com is my voip/phone server, and billing.company.com is my billing system. If I wanted to host these on the same box, how can I direct each to their own website? I'm assuming each would be a sub-directory in the /var/www folder (e.g. /var/www/voip and /var/www/billing). How to do this? Htaccess? OR should I be putting these on their own box or virtual machine?

You could host them all on the same box. Just setup virtual sites.

Have a look at this tutorial which gives a different view on setting such a thing up. It focuses on a development box but the same principles apply.What do we want?
Time machines!
When do we want 'em?

Yep, you can host multiple sites on one box with one IP address using host headers (name based virtual hosting).
If you have sites that are SSL enabled then you will need a separate IP for each SSL virtualhost if you want them to all use port 443 for https - just something to be aware of.Registered Linux user #389109

While you can run multiple sites from one box, it would generally be recommended to host each in its own virtual machine in such a case. It makes each more manageable, and secure. Each VM can have it's own IP address, data storage (physical or virtual), and access policies. In truth, it is applying the KISS principle, not to mention the separation of domains one as well.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

My first approach to creating a system for these books was to think about creating grid systems that could work for a variety of content. I realized there would have to be different grids used depending on the content; a book of short stories (text heavy) would not require the same sort of grid as a photography book (image heavy). Also it is important not to let the grid completely dictate the layout, and allow the varying content help define the feel each individual book. The main challenge is creating a system that will work across a range of books, creating a cohesive feeling, that indicates these books are all being published by the same company, and at the same time allow each books to be a unique entity and expression of the content it houses.
Something I've considered is the possibility of creating unity from the outside and allowing the inside to speak for itself. Another idea is to create several sub categories (i.e.. art, essays/non-fiction, poetry, short fiction) where the inside of each category will follow a general pattern, and then all categories will be tied together through the outside elements (cover, colour, format, size, etc.)
What's in a name?
Deciding on a name for the publishing company was a important initial step in getting this project underway. With a name, the exploration of the branding and identity has a firmer ground on which to stand.
When deciding on a name for my publishing company I thought about the actual physical format of the books for inspiration. Since they are going to be small format books I wanted the name to reflect this. After some brain storming I came up with a long list of possibilities. With the input of my instructor the top two names that stood as major contenders were Half Pint Press and Budding Books. Half Pint Press is a direct reference to the small size of the books, and is a fun and playful name for the company. Budding Books can refer to the small size as well as the possible content (new emerging writers and artists) and the fact that this company is a small seed being planted in the large world of corporate book publishing.

|Thu, 02-07-2013 - 9:11am
Its Thursday...
I am taking my soon to be 16 year old for a steak dinner on Friday night. Should be expensive, cause I'm having steak too! It will be just him and me to cut on expenses lol. We need groceries too!
I have to work Sat, Sunday and Monday. That should keep me from spending!
What is everyone doing this weekend? Is it going to be pricey or frugal?
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 8:31am
I'm hoping for an inexpensive day here. I just got back from Tampa (into a crazy snowstorm I might add) and am exhausted. My plans are to sit at home and rest and relax. I may go and get a book tomorrow but that's about the extent of it!
I can't wait for a resty weekend!
|Thu, 02-07-2013 - 7:43pm
Another frugal weekend here. On Saturday I have to take my son to the hosp. in the city for lab work, and we have to be there by 7am, so I am treating him to breakfast afterward. This will come out of my $20 "fun money." The family will get fast food lunch after church on Sunday, $10 cash set aside. Other than that, no spending!

Calabrian Chicken al Mattone
Photo: Thomas J. Story
This chicken is seasoned with a chile paste from Calabria, where Napa Valley chef Michael Chiarello's family is from, and is cooked under a brick (mattone in Italian). Chiarello explains that the weight "cooks the chicken evenly and keeps more of the juices in because it's pressed from the beginning." He likes a good char on his bird, but if you prefer yours on the golden side, start it skin side up. You can easily grill this chicken over gas (use direct medium-high heat, 400°, and weight and turn the chicken as directed below).

- 2. Put chicken in a glass dish just large enough to hold it flat. Add marinade and turn to coat. Marinate 2 hours or chill overnight, turning a few times (bring to room temperature before grilling).
- 3. Build a fire and let burn to ashy chunks (see "The DIY Firepit," below). Using tongs, oil hot cooking grate well with a wad of paper towels.
- 4. Pat excess marinade off chicken halves and season with 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Arrange halves on grate, skin side up and touching down the middle. Oil bottom of a cast-iron skillet and set on chicken. Add a foil-wrapped brick to skillet.
- 5. Cook chicken until crisp and brown underneath, 10 to 13 minutes. If flames flare up, squirt them with water. Turn bird over and cook, still weighted, until brown and crisp and an instant-read thermometer registers 170° when inserted in a thigh, 11 to 13 minutes.
- 6. Transfer to a cutting board, cover with foil, and allow to rest 5 minutes. Cut in quarters, season with salt, and serve.
- *Find Calabrian chile paste at napastyle.com as "Silafunghi hot chili sauce." Or mix 1 tbsp. minced roasted red peppers with 1/2 tsp. each extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice and 1/4 tsp. each salt, red chile flakes, and smoked Spanish paprika.
- The DIY Firepit
- "You can do anything on this. It's a little like camping in the middle of your day," says Napa Valley chef Michael Chiarello. All you need is bricks arranged to fit under your cooking grate and some sand.
- Build the pit: Spread a double layer of heavy-duty foil on the ground ("not grass," warns Chiarello, since it may scorch). Make it big enough to extend a foot beyond your cooking grate in all directions. Build a brick rectangle 3 layers high, leaving a couple of bricks out of the top layer on opposite sides, to encourage airflow. (For a standard 21-in. round Weber grate, the rectangle should be 2 bricks by 3 bricks.) Fill with about an inch of sand.
- Light the fire: Put several balled-up sheets of newspaper in the center and position kindling into a tipi around it; lean larger kindling and then 5 to 6 small logs (preferably oak). Light the fire. "The tipi lets every bit of flame go up past 3 or 4 logs," says Chiarello, so the fire starts fast. Once the logs have caught, add several larger logs to the perimeter. Let them burn down to ashy chunks with low flames (1 1/2 to 2 hours). Because there's less smoke and char than cooking over a flaming fire, Chiarello says, "it makes your food taste much cleaner, gives nuanced flavor, and is better for wine."
- Start cooking: Keep another log burning at the back of the pit. When it's ashy chunks, rake it into the main fire to maintain heat.

I used to live in a Dutch Colonial many years ago. I love that house and have a soft spot for that design. Love all the homes shown, but that last one is my favorite. Love the older established look. Reminds me of some homes from 1940s movies.

what is the little "flip" that comes out at the base of the roof called that makes a little overhang. We have a Gambrel but the roof terminates with the same angle as the face of the roof so its not as pretty. Does anyone know if you can add this after? Thanks!

The little "flip" at the end of the roof is called a "flair".

I love the lines and shadow of my dutch colonial. Plus, the roofline allows for living space on the third floor.
My house was built in 1883 with a gambrel roof. Would you still call it a Dutch Colonial? I have heard it referred to as a " Farmhouse Vistorian" or a "Queen Ann Farmhouse". Curious.

Need to re-roof our Dutch colonial. The thick shakes are reaching their end after 30 years. Ideas? Love the roofing choice from Ron Brenner architects.

I am unhappy with the look of the front of my house. We will need to replace our roof soon and I would like some suggestions for color and texture. Also the front door is fiberglass and can be repainted, the current faux wood grain color is the only one that they would do at the time of ordering. The brick is brown and will remain. I think the problems lies with the current colors but any input you have would be greatly appreciated!!

I made an offer on my Dutch Colonial before I even made it to the second floor. I have kept up the curb appeal with a healthy lawn, homemade flower boxes stained the same color of my porch, and added a new railing that duplicates the original design of the custom porch so that it looks like it was already there. The front door is original to the house, a 100+ year-old hand carved solid oak door so I didn't dare paint it, opting to stain it mahogany. So, I added the splash of color to the back exterior door which gives the layered deck a focal point.

It is a shame there are not any Dutch colonial revival–style homes here in the UK. I work with a flat roofing company http://www.flatroofservices.co.uk/ and we have never seen one. Perhaps we should design one.
