Live to work, or work to live?
October 5, 2010
Is it better to live to work, or work to live?
I've been thinking and reading a lot lately about what I want to do with my life, and read
(to link just a few). However they always seem to come down to the same question for which there is no definitive answer: is it better to pursue a career in something you love for less money/stability, or settle for something which pays the bills and pursue your interests in your spare time? Simply put, is it better to live to work, or work to live?
I've read Grumblebee's
fantastic "passion" comment
several times (which falls heavily on the "work to live" side), but many other excellent comments have made a similar case for being paid to do what you love. Obviously the answer is different for everyone, but I'm interested to hear from people who've lived and experienced this, and what (if any) conclusion you might have come to.
To be a bit more snowflakey, I'm currently in a job which is both and neither: I don't hate it but my heart's not in it; it pays the bills (just) but leaves me too tired to do anything in my spare time. I know I need a change, but for various reasons I'm going to stick it out for the time being, and I want to use that time to figure out my next move.
I'm a highly creative and analytical person, but I'm afraid that if I try to pursue a creative career then the pressure to create will kill my productivity. I'm ok with not earning as much as other people, but I also don't want to have to struggle to make ends meet.
On the other hand, the thought of spending 40 hours a week for the next 40 years doing something I don't truly care about fills me with dread. I can't escape the thought that all my hard work is ultimately only making rich men even richer.
Perhaps this is a false dichotomy of sorts, and in reality it's better to find something halfway between the two - but I'm halfway between the two now, and I feel like I'm in limbo.
I'm going to stop short of actually asking "what do I do with my life?". Really what I'm asking is: how do you handle work/life balance, and what are the pros & cons of each approach?

I would say from what you've written - particularly paragraphs 4 and 5 - that you are coming down on the live to work side of the equation.
Could you work part-time? Could you make ends meet on a part-time salary? If so that might give you the safety blanket to move into a new, creative career which might not initially make you much money.

If you haven't found a career that sustains your lifestyle and that you also feel passionate about then there's nothing wrong with working to live. I spent my 20s trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I came up with bupkiss. So I got a job that will let me retire at the age of 50. Maybe by then I'll know what I want to do and can spend the 20 years after that doing what I love. And in the meantime I am taking up a LOT of hobbies.

It's better to get paid well and like the people you work with.

Pragmatism above all. We do the best we can in life, and it's usually far from perfect, but it still is (probably) good enough to allow us to live meaningful lives. Very few of us are going to be able to get through life so well that we would be able to claim sincerely, as Frank Sinatra did in the song "My Way" that while he had a few regrets, they were too few to mention. I have too many regrets to mention, rather than too few, but even so, I feel that I have accomplished some genuinely worthwhile things in my life, and my life has been worth living.
Your hard work is definitely
only making rich men even richer. Your hard work is giving you a viable life, which is the platform from which you can aspire to better things. It may take time to find the right opportunities, and meanwhile you have that time because you do have a job with which to support yourself. It is always good to seek opportunities for improvement. But until you find them, you survive.

This is such a subjective question. I prefer working more hours to fewer and I generally eschew vacations because they make me restless.

Right now, you're working to work and skipping the entire living portion of the equation.
If you had a job that allowed you to really live - comfortably make ends meet, use your spare time - then you might feel differently about working to live.

If you were following a passion, you'd still have to sell out and make the rich richer. That's even worse, because you get fooled into working even harder to benefit another person.

I always thought the noblest path was live-to-work and spent much of my energy pursuing that (or failing and moping about it).
Then I had a kid.
Now it's all about work-to-live. I don't care if I have to shovel shit: it's now all about making sure my little one has everything he needs, and that I have enough time away from work to spend with him.

I'm voting for "work to live". Even my best, most favorite and loved job, cytogenetic technologist, got boring around year 6. My modus operandi has been to take a break, go learn another job until I really missed my favorite one, go back for a few years, get bored again, go learn something other etc. One does sacrifice career this way, but at least boredom was kept to a minimum. I just retired from my last job, which I kept for 8 years: the last two were absolute misery!
I'm never bored at home.

It really depends so much on what type of person you are, and in my experience creative people seem to be more interested in living to work rather than working to live. I see my husband, an artist and musician, struggle with having what he calls a "day job", but what I would just happily call a "job", because my only interest outside of work is reading a lot of books and hanging out with my friends and family. If you feel drawn to spending your life in a creative pursuit, I think it will be much more difficult for you to feel fulfilled if you aren't doing that sort of thing all day long.

Well, I love my day job, which I usually spend upwards of 40 hours/week on, but even in my free time in the evenings I'm doing two other jobs (one for pay -- freelance writing -- and one as a volunteer -- running a high school science and technology competition in my area). After about three days of vacation I usually find myself bored and itching to have something to do. So I may be a workaholic, but I'm definitely a "live to work" person -- all three of my "jobs" are based around my passion, robotics, and I can't imagine not devoting tons of effort to it.
Then again, I'm a workaholic with lots of friends but no significant other, no plans for marriage/kids any time soon, and a dog I have to work really hard to keep up with. And I know that if and when SO, marriage, and kids do come in to the picture, I'll have to cut back. And that's really a rather terrifying thought.
Short answer: it depends!

I agree with something something. I know a lot of people who have a boring but well-paid 9-5, and who use their nights, weekends, and vacations for all their hobbies and fun stuff. I admire them, it seems so well planned out and fulfilling for them, and they do get to do a lot of cool things when they're not at work. But I could never do it. I'd rather struggle to pay my bills with day jobs, temp things, part-time,
, as long as I can pursue my creative career most (or at least a lot) of the time. If that wasn't my main focus, I'd really feel like I was wasting my life.

First, either way, read Hugh McLeod. Particularly his ideas on
sex and cash
I am a semi-creative person who always wanted a job I loved and assumed if you loved something, the money would come along. And for me, it did. I went from working in a creative field to another related creative field to managing creative people to heading up a practice in a large company. And, honestly, the entry level stuff that was more passionately creative? It's about the same net benefit emotionally as the management stuff. It was higher highs and lower lows, but it averaged out at the same place and the work I threw myself into, sacrificed nights and weekends for, it's all pretty pointless in the scheme of things. Also, I was pretty broke and my only friends were the people 12 desks around me because we never left.
Now I work doing a lot less of what I have passion for as tasks, but I'm working in a company where I really, really like the end result and it feels good -- even if my part of it is very small. I make enough money to have breathing room. I occasionally do creative stuff -- at work or on the side -- rather than every minute.
I also always thought it was the job that was making me work long, crazy hours. So I would find a new job. And it was great and I had short hours and long lunches and then I started finding things that needed to get done and, bam, long hours. So I'd switch jobs. Lather, rinse, repeat (minus an in-house job with low expectations and high budgets that went out of business a few months after I left due to total boredom).
So, either way, go into it like this:
- Are you the person who can physically, mentally and morally leave work at 5pm? Or are you someone for whom "we're so damn close" or "if you guys only did this, we'd be awesome"? I learned the hard way I will turn any job into overwork, so I'm in a job that rewards it and I'm working on boundaries.
- Your creativity waxes and wanes. It does. If you want to create, you will. It feels much better to blame a job than to realize that you aren't ready to do the hard work of creating something. I'm on Metafilter right now rather than drawing a comic or adding another page to a screenplay and I chose that -- but it makes me feel better to think to myself that I've used all my creativity up at my job today. It's OK to choose an "easier" or less emotionally taxing job so you can spend time for yourself -- online, with friends, with family. But unless you're disciplined enough and willing to structure creation into your life, don't assume that easier job = more creativity
- Invest in things. Whether that's the job that doesn't use any of your unique skills that you plug along in or the one that taps into your soul's uniqueness, don't expect the big cash payday right away. All those guys I know who went into IT after college because that's where the money was but didn't have passion for it? Still admins or help desk or unemployed. Still making what seemed like a lot of money out of college without any path to bigger or greater. The people I know who loved networks, or loved computer hardware, or coded for fun before they got paid to code for pay? They've moved up, gotten lots of money, have the cushier life and have stayed employed in the recession. People without any passion for something rarely do a good enough job to make it their own and everyone can see it. It doesn't have to be 90% of your soul, but 10-15% seems to be where it has to start.
Can you find a joe job that captures 10% of your passion (enough to make you successful) but leaves you with 90% to create? Can you create a discipline and structure to make sure you create/enjoy/fulfill the other 90%? Are you willing to stick with it -- both the creation and the joe job -- to reap the rewards? And are you the kind of person, if you've invested 10% of yourself in, that can walk away at 5pm and say, "It's OK if it's not perfect. It's done enough."?
Only you know. Hope it helps.

Interesting question, especially so for a New Yorker who has made his home in Europe since 1997. I'll tell you how I played it:
Started out in banking in early 80's. Never got caught up in the spending side of the lifestyle, but was
into the working side. Generally 60+ hours a week, and 100+ hour weeks weren't uncommon, seven days a week, of course.
Saved aggressively, invested well, achieved financial independence (defined as when cash flow from
investments is sufficient to cover all living expenses) about ten years ago but still worked so I could save and fund
the life I wanted
. Worked my way up the corporate ladder, put my business life before my personal life, sometimes flying over 200K miles a year and spending absolutely
money of my own, 'cause it seemed I was always in a hotel someplace on biz. At my peak I was saving over 80% of each paycheque. Bonuses either paid down mortgage debt or were invested into the market and additional, cash flow generating securities.
Left banking about two years ago, took another Masters (MBA this time), and now I'm teaching finance part time at Universities in London and a some other European cities, and writing market commentary to a few banks and funds which I get a big kick out of as I used to write market commentary while
by banks; now I get to sell it to them. But all of that is just for fun, as I seriously love talking about the markets and helping folks understand not only how the global financial system works, but how they can
make it work for them
I'm also writing a book on finance and generally looking about for other challenges.
And now I got the life I wanted: my money is working so I can live, I still work myself but mostly for fun, and none of it would have been possible if I hadn't focused intensely on my career early on, in other words, lived to work.

The good news is that this angst and this pressure and this dread of the thing you know you don't want will drive you in a direction that is better for you, because it will motivate you to take risks on uncertain alternate directions. The bad news is that you will have to live with it to varying degrees for a while.
Back to the good news, you don't have to answer this question for your whole life today. At any given point you can make course corrections based on how you feel right now. Since it's different for everyone, you can't really choose incorrectly unless fear keeps you from choosing at all. As your life morphs and changes, you may find that your answer to this question changes as it did for the person above who had a child. Let it, because it will be right for you at the time.
Part of the angst behind your question is feeling like you need an answer that will set the course of the rest of your life. But you don't have to answer that question and it may not have an answer. Life is long and you can't predict how you will see things 5 or 10 years from now. While you want to make good and strategic decisions, don't let your soul starve for too long. It's easy to wake up and 20 years have gone by with nothing but stupid work to show for it, and you wish you had carpe'd that diem, but those years are gone.
Be here now, as the sages have said in one form or another throughout history. Live now. The only moment you ever live in is the present one. Be good to yourself in it.

I and my friends are pretty solidly in the upper-middle-class income bracket. I don't know a single one of us who is currently employed in the pursuit of our "passion." If I pursued my passion, I'd be making nothing writing musicals or growing orchids.
In my experience, this site tends to lean pretty heavily towards the "live to work" concept and it is like that all over the Internet, weirdly.
Hardly anybody really gets to be what they want when they grow up, but having money to do fun stuff really eases the sting. You have to derive your sense of accomplishment from something you do at work, and for the most part, that onus is on you and the way you approach your situation. Except for the obviously horrible jobs, like, I don't know, an armpit-sniffer or something, it's never as bad as some people make it out to be.
Hate your boss? Pay your dues, build your resume and move on. Job is boring? Take the initiative to find a weakness (read: opportunity) and train yourself to become the expert at that.
Often I find the chorus of complaining about the "soullessness" of office jobs to come off a little bit like the creative class's sour grapes for realizing it turns out they're not going to be the next Faulkner.
My and my husband's "soulless" office jobs just scored us some amazing, mind-blowing scuba diving in the Red Sea. My passion would never been able to afford that.
Work to live, man.

This is interesting becuase even though my dad told me at a young age to work to live, not live to work, I never considered the money aspect. Sure you need some money to be able to live, but you really just need enough to get by.
I always viewed it in sort of an "hours of my life committed" type of way. For example, if you are paying me for 40, then you get 40. After the 40 I'm just donating my "life" time.
You are either dedicated to living or dedicated to working. It doesn't matter how much you are getting paid - you are either doing what your job wants you to be doing or what you want to be doing at any given moment.

Work to live vs. live to work isn't about "following your passion" or not or "artist vs. office job" but rather about whether you are the sort to cultivate serious hobbies or not. People who work to live, in my experience, are the sort who have 40 hr/week jobs and then spend their evenings and weekends breeding dogs or doing community theater or running the local neighborhood association. People who "live to work" might be artists trying to "make it" or they might be corporate lawyers who work 60-80 hrs/week who spent their time at home checking to see if clients have called in. That's their focus, and then maybe that drive gets channeled into planning nice vacations and figuring out what the best school for their kids is.
The question is whether you want to pick a job that will consume you, or whether it's just a means of paying the bills so that you have some time to coach the little league team and help out with the volunteer fire department and make time for your bowling league.
And I don't think there's a simple answer: everyone has a different personality.

I think it truly depends on the person.
I was raised to be a live-to-work (and love your work, and have a career you care passionately about) kind of gal, but I married into a family that has been decidedly work-to-live. My in-laws have fantastic hobbies, a great social life, are very active in general and enjoy themselves. It has been an eye-opening experience and brought me a long way toward appreciating that different things work for different people, and that there are as many ways to live as there are folks on the earth, probably.
So -- do you think you are the type of person who needs an overarching passion to throw yourself into to be happy? Or are you more the sort that needs lots of varied interests and who has a big life outside of work/career?
My parents are live-to-workers, and both got into careers they were passionate about. They each have a few hobbies, but they are all things that mostly keep them at home, and my dad's hobby is a direct offshoot of his work! They are keep-to-themselves kind of people, they like staying at home, and the live-to-work kind of suits them. Though I have wondered if they would be more happy or fulfilled to at least experiment with the other way.
The way I consider it personally, I basically am going to spend about 1/5-1/4 of my working years AT WORK. That's a lot of fucking time. I want it to be something I care about, that holds my interest, that I enjoy.
That said, I've had jobs that were just jobs, and it was rather nice to be able to not put so much of myself into it.
All this rambling and equivocating just to say: you should probably try it both ways. See which you prefer, if either. You might end up liking some mix of the two.

Very interesting question.
Perhaps this is a false dichotomy of sorts, and in reality it's better to find something halfway between the two - but I'm halfway between the two now, and I feel like I'm in limbo.
I'm in the same spot you are. I have a two-pronged plan:
- small shifts in the day job toward something more and more fulfilling
- save all my pennies so I can increasingly make decisions based on passion and not on pay
If you had to choose, I'd say make your job your passion, but choose a route to get there that is sustainable and does not involve too much starving. So, I believe your question is a false dichotomy. Some great writers and artists developed their skills partially out of the pressure to pay the bills (what is this loss of productivity you speak of? wouldn't it be more productivity?). The professionalism I develop in my day job feels just slightly at odds with a truly idealistic approach, but actually the discipline developed, the opportunity to work with a community of experts, and the commitment to performance and delivering what was promised all are very valuable.
So, I'd fix this situation you're in from both ends: find a way to end at 5 pm and not be exhausted (challenging, I realize, and I don't know if these apply to you, but in my own life, the psychological journey to let go of over-working and/or compulsive over-achievement has had rewards in its own right), find after-work pursuits that address the rest of your passion, and identify how your day job could be more fulfilling for you.

It is healthiest to work to work, and live to live. If you try to cross the streams then bad things happen and you'll get neither. Enjoy the work for the enjoyment of work. Enjoy living for the enjoyment of living. I am not just saying words. When life and work is divided, one is always necessary to earn access to the other. When the prospect of getting to work, or getting to live is conceived of as an exchange then you will always be in the process of trading what you don't want for what you want. But this leaves you always holding what you do not want. Life and work are continually set aside as something that happens later, elsewhere, or never here. There is no asymmetry here. This is a fact the procrastinators can attest to. But this all changes if a simple and old observation is made. The observation that there is a quality to working for the sake of working. There is something there that is more than either. To do a thing for its own sake, without contingency. What is that thing? It is obscured by a common modern fear. The fear is that to work for work will enslave you to it. The fear that if you simply dedicate oneself to some task for a period, or a lifetime, you will never get what you want. That to work to work will forever bar you from that life you wish to trade for. In contradiction to the fear, the case is that to work to work returns back the life you have set aside, to live to live does just the same. But not as you would imagine, not as in that you will sacrifice your hours to the job at hand and in some fantastical karmic response you get to live the life of luxurious freedom, or more absurdly if you live it up you'll find yourself more productive than ever before. No. It is less and more than that.
There is a meditative quality in all things done for their own doing. There is a freedom in choosing to do one thing, even as simple as making the bed in the morning, and then sticking to it not as a choice or because it is good or bad, but because
it is to be done
. To do something for its own sake is liberation, and rarely in history was it so clearly possible. When something is done to be done it only matters that it is being done and it only matters to
. It does not enter the picture whether or not it was your choice, or if it was a wise choice, or that you would rather be somewhere else, or that you are only doing it to pay the mortgage, or that all your friends are doing so much more than you. If you must have something in return to justify the gambit proposed, then it is this: the practice of effort for its own sake makes every labor less an effort. But there is no need for such a thinking for this proposition is nothing foreign. To do x because it is to be done, is quite familiar to you already. You already do this every day in your own small personal ways. It is these things you do because you do them that makes you you. To add a few more merely extends it. Make all of your life yours. Dare to do without reason, without exit. You will discover the life in your work, and the accomplishments in your life.

How about instead of work to live, or live to work, think: live for no regrets. Work is a part of life, not separate. The question: how do you want to spend your entire life?
I think it's a really huge mistake to think that one should work long hours in hopes that one day they'll be free from the work and be carefree for the rest of it. One, they'll be old and won't be able to do what they used to. Two, they'll have no knowledge of what to do, since they wasted their youth working. So they'll just continue to work, because that's what they know how to do.
The older I get, the more I see this happen. People my age are already saying, "impossible", when they should just say, "let's go!". They're starting to give up. Their perspectives are very narrow.
If you don't know what you want to do, I really suggest doing something you never thought you could and before its too late. Please.

"It was true that I didn't have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?"

This is all excellent, thanks everyone.
I'm certainly no workaholic, so I think based on what's been said I'm leaning towards work-to-live. That said, I'm also a perfectionist, and a lot of what TwelveTwo says about work for work's sake also resonates with me (and has done since reading
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
). I've taken what little creativity my job allows me and embraced it, and got a lot out of it. I think there's a lot to be said for a compromise.
I've always been interested in a variety of things and most of all I think I lament having time to do it all. All part of adjusting to working life, I guess. It's daunting to see those endless years of full-time work ahead of you, and natural to freak out a bit.
Lots to think about, thanks again.

I can't escape the thought that all my hard work is ultimately only making rich men even richer.
I used to feel this way too. When I was laid off during the last recesssion in 2001 I decided to volunteer abroad on a Peace Corps-type thing for a year. The year spent in rural Kenya (where I was teaching on a local non-expat salary) brought a lot of clarity about what was really important (books, nerds for company) and what was not important (possessions, job titles, salary, rat race) to me.

With January dragging by, I am always looking for a way to change things up, and to escape the city….
LUCKILY, I have a trip to the Caribbean planned for next week and I can't stop counting down the seconds until I am on a sunny beach with a fresh tropical drink in my hand!
As for everyone else who is stuck here in the cold…check out Martin Parr's book, Playas, for a little fun in the sun! Parr documents beach culture in different Latin American countries while traveling with his wife. It is comical, revealing and you can even smell the tanning lotion that these folks slathered on while browsing the photos!

The National Environment Agency expects "almost all" cleaning firms who have applied for licenses to receive them before September.
SINGAPORE: More than 700 cleaning businesses have applied for licences since the new cleaning business licensing regime was introduced in April, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Thursday (July 17).
Of the 748 cleaning businesses which have applied, 415 have obtained their licences, said the NEA, adding that they expect "almost all" cleaning firms to receive their licences before September.
"The 415 licensed cleaning businesses are a mix of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and larger companies with 200 or more cleaners. NEA is currently processing the remaining 333 applications and none have been rejected so far," the agency said.
The authorities have also encouraged the few cleaning businesses that have not yet applied for licensing to do so immediately.
With the Environmental Public Health Amendment Bill coming into force in April, all general cleaning businesses in Singapore have to be licensed by September as part of efforts to raise the productivity and working conditions of the cleaning sector.
To qualify for the licence, firms must train at least 50 per cent of their staff in at least one relevant module within the Singapore Workforce Development Agency's Workforce Skills Qualifications System framework. To renew the license next year, companies must ensure that all their workers are trained.
Earlier this year, the NEA had "strongly encouraged" cleaning firms to send their cleaners for training ahead of the licensing deadline, and submit their applications by July 15 so as to obtain their licences by September.

I think you meant to ask WHERE was the horse talk, and I can tell you that we did not have the info to do it well.
Pants ... of course not! They are for amateurs.
Paychecks, what a concept.

- #8 in Best Fort Lauderdale Hotels
- #85 in Best Florida Hotels
- #58 in Starwood Hotels & Resorts
- #6 in W Hotels & Resorts
Our Take: From its glass-bottom lobby view of the outdoor pool to the funky DJs who spin tunes at said pool — this W likes to throw visitors an über-hip curve-ball. So needless to say, the modern W isn't for everyone: Features like the see-through glass walls in the bathrooms and the loud dance music in the common areas might be a better fit for a younger crowd. However, the atmosphere is decidedly more subdued in the minimally designed rooms, which feature comfy beds, 32-inch flat screen TVs and iPod docking stations. And despite the more trendy (sometimes off-putting) decor, the W's location is extremely convenient for sun-seekers: W Fort Lauderdale is just steps from the beach. In addition to its shore-side setting, the hotel also boasts the Bliss Spa, the SWEAT Fitness Center and the much raved-about STEAK 954 restaurant. What's more, this property participates in the Starwood Preferred Guest rewards program.

This earnest indie production comes across like formulaic fiction while taking cues (and recycling cliches) from the 'inspirational sports drama' playbook.
Ra Puriri
Here's what is conveniently left out of "Forever Strong" In 2008, (6) amazing import rugby players from New Zealand played on the Highland Rugby squad, while local boys sat on the bench. Played for two months, won a national championship and then were quietly sent home. As were their rugby brothers every year for the past 14 years.Conveniently on purpose, left out because the high moral story then becomes clouded in issues related to why HR recruits players from NZ every year.Highland uses the Maori Haka, Kia Kaha and and the national sport of NZ yet fails to acknowledge the critical annual contribution of the boys from the land of the long white cloud.Pretend students kicked out of the Utah public school system in 2005. Now there is a great story !!!! A movie about: the New England Patriots without Tom BradyThe Green Bay Packers without Brett FarrThe Tour de France without mentioning Lance Armstrongthen go and see Forever Strong. Not one word of dialog, a scene or reference to the phantom players from New Zealand. Used and forgotten.There is a picture in the creditsSorry .....kiwi boys for not giving you a role in the movieBut ....see you next seasonReligion saves the main character in the movie, but where is the religion in leaving out the most important element of this so called true story.What would Jesus do?So much for building character....but HR got the WINS? I guess the end justifies the means. Read the facts for yourself ...http://highlandrugbythetruth.blogspot.com

Green Chiles Stuffed with Almonds and Raisins
Annabelle Breakey
This dish softens the chiles' heat with raisins, nuts, spices, and a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Prep and Cook Time: about 1 3/4 hours. Notes: Queso fresco is a mild, crumbly Mexican cheese sold in Latin markets and some supermarkets. You can substitute farmer's cheese or feta.
Yield: Makes 5 or 6 servings (serving size: 3 chiles)

- 15 to 18 fresh green New Mexico or Anaheim chiles
- 1/3 cup plus 3/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 large garlic cloves, divided
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup plain dried bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 8 ounces queso fresco, crumbled (see Notes)
- 1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1. Slice off chile stems. With a spoon or melon baller, reach into chiles to scoop out and discard seeds and white membranes (avoid slitting chiles); set chiles aside. Preheat oven to 375°.
- 2. In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, toast all the almonds, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- 3. Add oil to pan and increase heat to medium-high. Mince 4 garlic cloves and add to pan along with onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add beef, 1 tsp. salt, the cinnamon, cumin, and pepper and cook, breaking up beef with a wooden spoon, until beef is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add raisins and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add bread crumbs, oregano, 1/3 cup toasted almonds, and queso fresco. Cook, stirring, 2 minutes; remove from heat.
- 4. Carefully pack each chile with filling. Arrange chiles in a large baking pan and bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until chiles are browned and beginning to blister.
- 5. Meanwhile, make sauce: In a large frying pan over medium heat, bring tomatoes, honey, remaining 4 garlic cloves, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt to a gentle simmer. Cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup toasted almonds. Transfer to a blender, add 1/2 cup water, and whirl sauce until very smooth, about 1 minute. Drizzle sauce over chiles and serve warm.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
- Cooking with chiles
- This recipe is best when made with New Mexico chiles, preferably northern varieties such as Chimayo. Anaheim chiles, which are a New Mexico variety, are widely available throughout the West and make a fine substitute for northern green chiles—roast them over a stovetop burner or under a broiler to blacken the skins. (And if you're sensitive to chiles, wear gloves when handling.) Canned green chiles just don't cut it here.

Born in London and still a resident, Matthew Donaldson has been working as a photographer for the past decade, and his assignments have flung him to fashionable cities around the world (Paris, New York, Milan). Donaldson's magazine clients include English, French, American and Japanese Vogue, Wallpaper, W and GQ, and he has brought his pleasing visual geometry to ad campaigns for SONY, Harvey Nichols, Marc Jacobs, Coca-Cola, Harrods, Missoni, and Marks & Spencer, among others. His immaculate, technically ambitious images have a startling quality—pictures of handbags swinging amid suspended paint splashes read as exclamations. Donaldson's playful side was on evidence in the "President" series, which depicts the faces on American currency in various states of physical disrepair (Alexander Hamilton looking regal in a neck brace; Andrew Jackson's expression suddenly seeming aggrieved with the addition of a hot water bottle atop his head)—a sly reference to the flagging economy.

Excellent rebuttal :)

Excellent rebuttal :)
Most people dont think anything through with logic, those that do are few and far between.
I think it is a dangerous road they are taking, only time will tell the true ramifications of this.
Sadly when it does affect people personally(on the receiving end from said verdict) then they will be the ones bitching and moaning they are being injustly accused/abused by the very verdict they cheered.

"Going there to Eldora (Wednesday), I think a lot of the fans that were in the stands not only wanted to watch the race, but wanted to be a part of history," ThorSport general manager David Pepper said of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at the western-Ohio dirt track. "We were really, truly going back to the roots of not just truck racing, but NASCAR racing in general."
The track required special considerations from NASCAR, which allowed the race at the dirt track without the mandated SAFER barriers.
The trucks ran without splitters and with square-treaded Goodyear tires.
Thirty-six entrants competed in heats for 30 spots in the main event. Truck Series regular Norm Benning jostled the final spot in the field with a fifth-place finish in the last-chance heat.
The track itself had too few pit stalls to allow for in-race stops.
The final event was broken into three sections, of 60, 50 and 40 laps, with scheduled stops between each stage.
The historic race was not only a throwback for NASCAR, but also for the Truck Series.
The race was a return to the small-venue short tracks on which the series cut its teeth. In 1995, its inaugural season, the Truck Series visited Saugus Speedway, the I-70 Speedway, Flemington and Evergreen, all small-name (and small-capacity) tracks compared to 2012's lineup punctuated by the likes of Daytona, Talladega and Homestead.
The smaller venues were eliminated as the Truck Series moved to more companion races, competing as the undercard to the Sprint Cup Series, and other large tracks like Texas and Las Vegas.
Eldora is the smallest by capacity on the NASCAR circuit since the Truck Series event at Mesa Marin Raceway in 2003. The average capacity for tracks on the Truck Series circuit in 2013 is over 100,000, with Iowa Speedway (30,000) and Rockingham (34,500) the smallest after Eldora.
For Wednesday's race, however, the Trucks were the main attraction, kicking up a cyclone of dust around the half-mile track.
The event captured the attention of Sprint Cup drivers like Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon.
Eldora, owned by three-time Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, was already known in the NASCAR racing community — From 2005-12, it hosted the annual Prelude to the Dream charity race, with a mix of pavement and dirt-track stars.
Matt Crafton led the ThorSport teams with an eighth-place finish, what he considered to be a "mission accomplished. for the No. 88 team.
"It's an awesome facility, I mean, very, very cool," Crafton said. "The track definitely was narrower groove-wise than I thought it was going to be."
As the trucks laid rubber during the race, he said, the single groove made track position paramount. A fast line formed on the outside of the track, making restarts difficult for trucks on the inside and passes tough.
"I definitely think we should have ran a little bit better than what we did, but we couldn't take a chance. There at the end, we had to play defense instead of trying to play offense, get more spots and be aggressive and let something happen. We just had to play defense right there at the end, because we knew all of the (Truck Series championship) points guys were behind us and we needed to keep them behind us."
With the eighth-place finish, Crafton extended his streak of top-10s to 10 races. Crafton's Truck Series championship lead increased from 38 to 48 points.
ThorSport brought on Tracy Hines, a dirt-track regular with a history with the Sandusky-based team.
Aside from his own success, Hines was charged with helping teammates Crafton and Johnny Sauter with some of the nuances of dirt track racing. When rumblings started in 2012 about the Truck Series coming to Eldora, Hines didn't know what to think.
"There was disbelief. For six months, I kept hearing the rumors, but never could really believe," Hines said. "When it came to it, I believe they pulled it off probably as good as you could have. I thought for a first time at a facility that's never had it, and add dirt on top of that, I thought it went off very well. "It's probably gotten more publicity by word of mouth than any race of the last few years in the Truck Series. People wanted to see it," he said." Whether good or bad, it was like an accident — People couldn't stop looking at it."
Hines started in the middle of the pack and, hampered by position, finished 13th.
ThorSport's Sauter made it through a broadside collision with Ty Dillon in the qualifying heat, but was collected in a wreck on lap 116 that sent him behind the wall.
"We learned a few things the last couple of days. Hopefully we go back to Eldora next year," Pepper said. "Maybe they'll add more dirt tracks, maybe they'll add a race at another location. … It's definitely a learning process."

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...

Yamaha's XT125X is Yamaha's learner-friendly road going supermoto. The 125cc four-stroke machine is a scaled down version of the XT660X and has the same supermoto styling cues, like a big single front disc brake, aggressive styling, 17" wheels and wide tyres. Although learner riders are allowed to ride a 15bhp 125cc by law, the XT125X makes just 10bhp.

The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.

The Cagiva Raptor 650's smart Italian style plus a reliable Japanese engine equals a cool, capable light/middle weight all round motorcycle. It's a blast on back roads but long motorway journeys can be blustery. It's an extremely unusual bike – imported by Dorset dealer Three Cross Motorcycles.

The Beta Alp is available in two 350cc versions, one looking like a trials machine, the other a Supermoto. If you are keen on trials then the slightly lighter Alp 200 might be enough for you, but the Beta Supermoto 350 makes a decent commuter/weekend fun bike, although it's a tad expensive for something using a fairly old tech 350 ...

Students at the University of Sydney
Residential colleges - the early days
Wesley College is a Protestant college within the University of Sydney.

Click on most images for enlargement.
A brief history
The Act to Incorporate Wesley College as a College within the University of Sydney was assented to by the Governor-General on 1 June 1860.
The College was officially opened by the Chancellor, Sir William Cullen, on 1 December 1917, although a small number of medical students had been in residence earlier, as a consequence of World War 1 and the accelerated course for medical students. The Edwardian Gothic main wing was designed by Byera Hadley.
The College was in full operation from March 1918 and its inaugural Master was Reverend Dr Michael Scott Fletcher.
Prior to 1969 the College admitted only men as students but since then it has enrolled both men and women students. It currently has 230 students.

This is Sir Colin Daviss final opera recording. Webers tale of true love pitted against dark supernatural forces one of the seminal works of early German romanticism was given two concert performances in the Barbican Hall. Shortly after these, Sir Colin had an accident that marked the beginning of his withdrawal from conducting commitments, and he died on April 14 this year.
This release is a fitting tribute for a conductor who knew precisely what he wanted in term of expression and colour, and who was blessed by having an orchestra the LSO (of which he had been both Principal Conductor and President) that could deliver it. Their rapport is palpable. As with Berlioz, the sound Sir Colin creates a light vibrato, edgy brass, characterful woodwinds describes the style beautifully, with plenty of atmosphere, a stimulating attention to detail and a constant undertow of momentum. The result is vivid, decisive and full of verve. Davis hits the ground running in the bi gestures of the Overture, and sustains that level of impact throughout. Occasionally Simon ONeill (as lovelorn Max, whos lost his sharp-shooting mojo) is overwhelmed by the orchestra, but for the most part his ardour and lyricism suit the role perfectly, and Lars Woldt (a late replacement at the time for Falk Struckmann) has commendable weight and attack as evil Kaspar.
Sir Colins sense of drive means that Agathe doesnt get too overloaded by her goodness. Christine Brewer supplies generosity of tone and spirit, particularly so in her big Act Two
. As a dramatic foil to Agathe, Sally Matthews is admirable as Ännchen light but not too soubrette and full of charm. Stephan Loges chills the marrow in fine style as Zamiel, the dark hunter, and the hermit (who steers the story to a happy conclusion) is sung with great presence by Gidon Saks. The London Symphony Chorus is on top form, not least in the Wolfs Glen scene in which the singers create some startlingly spooky sounds. Spoken dialogue is minimal, although the booklets synopsis goes some way to clarifying the plot.
The ghostly melodrama and other ingredients of this romantic opera (the horn-playing and instrumental solos are terrific) come across with such vigour and immediacy that its hard to realise that Sir Colin Davis is no longer here to continue generating his special magic.

Oh, please do not be a mindless kool-Iaid drinker of the left. How either blind or deaf you have to be not to "see" real truth. How refreshing to listen to a man in simple words be articulate and truthful instead of continuing "campaign" rhetoric of the person some call president. I see no logic or love of this country from a man that sits in the White House, he is a Chicago scam artist who has been groomed to take down America. I find it so disgusting to even consider there are Americans in this country that are so blind to truth! It isn't about being even conservative or liberal, we are all going down with this person no one really knows, he is veiled!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - As the Lubbock Fire Marshal's Office continues to investigate an early morning arson at a Lubbock apartment complex, residents have their own ideas on who could have set the blaze.
Flames broke out at the Boardwalk Apartments early Tuesday morning. Fire crews arrived on scene near 19th Street and Chicago Avenue around 3:30 a.m. The crews doused the flames quickly, but five residents were displaced. Now, investigators say someone intentionally set the blaze and have yet to charge anyone with the arson, but Boardwalk residents say anger could be behind the fire.
"I've never been so scared in my entire life," said Boardwalk Apartments resident Danielle Huebner. The fire caused approximately $10,000 in damage, and five people forced to find a new place to live. Fire investigators say it's deliberate. "We have determined it to be an arson, the rest of it is under investigation at this time," said Garrett Nelson with the Lubbock Fire Marshal's Office.
Flames ribbed through one apartment, causing a lot of damage. Residents, just two doors down were the first to hear it, and they came outside to alert their neighbors. "First, I heard glass break. I thought maybe one of our vehicles got broken into," Huebner said.
When Huebner stepped outside, she realized the shattered glass had come from next door. "I saw a flicker and then I saw the flames inside, and as I was turning around you could see them start to shoot up out the broken window," Huebner said.
She immediately called 911 as her boyfriend William ran door to door alerting other residents to the danger. "His hands are raw; he went door to door pounding on doors," Huebner said.
Neighbor Lisa Brennon said, "he just pounded on everybody's door and told them the place is on fire, and we needed to get out."
"I knew the first thing would be to try to wake everybody up at three o'clock in the morning," Huebner's boyfriend William said.
"If I wouldn't have actually gotten up to see if somebody had broken into vehicles, how long would it have been, another 10 minutes before we got out of the apartment," Huebner said. Knowing someone intentionally set their home ablaze, those who live at the Boardwalk Apartments started to ask why. "I don't know, this whole complex has had problems."
Huebner and the rest of the complex lost power and water service in October when bills went unpaid. "There was a recent foreclosure, and everybody that worked here got fired," William said.
"Some people speculate it was someone who used to work here did it, and there's just a bunch of talk going on last night," Brennon said.
"I think if anyone did start the fire it was because of their anger," Huebner said. Residents say that's no excuse for putting people's lives in danger. "Ask for forgiveness, for attempting to hurt a lot of people," Huebner said.
Fire investigators did question a person of interest Tuesday evening, but they have not named anyone a suspect at this point.

Haden was listed as limited Wednesday on the Browns' injury report but he missed Thursday's practice."

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
Suggested by a friend, a bit more expensive, worth every penny. They have not ever fogged up and after as many as 50 laps they are still comfortable on my face
I am an one eyed triathlete. Gogles are very important and I cannot tolerate a second rate vision.These goggles are clear, the optics are great and the the fit is great.I have used them for over 3 months and have not had a leak yet.They are so good that I bought 4 pairs to give as gifts.
Well made, no leaks, comfortable, simple lens replacement.
These goggles really don't fog up and they keep the water out.Love the large size viewing area and they don't leave deep marks as they fit so well and comfortably.Maybe not for racers ? But great for someone who swims frequently and does laps.
excellent fit - bought for the replaceable lens for vision correction. but surpised how well they fit. Larger than other goggles so some adjustment with the swim cap, but overall very good goggles.
Good fit, good quality, good vision. Doesn't leave round marks on eyes due to a good "gasket" system. The only thing it lacks is good directions to replace lenses for the prescriptions ones that I ordered with these. I went to a YouTube video that was very good, so just search for it.
Still can't figure out if these have overall different viewing area as the Kaiman, but it is a good amount of viewing area, and non-distorted. Flexable nosepiece is nice. The "Seal" has a rigid nosepiece and cannot accommodate my (apparently big) face.
Great! I swim at 5 a.m. and have zero problems with glare. I love the goggles. I can see the poolside clock.
my 4th pair of prescription eagles--they are great--dont wear out--i just like spares for open water ocean swimming
The Aqua Sphere Eagle goggles are the best prescription goggles that I've found. I've tried Speedo, TYR, and a few other brands. These have a much wider field of vision than the other available prescription goggles. My only complaint is that they don't make tinted lenses. I emailed Aqua Sphere to ask if they plan on ever making a tinted lense. They said at this time no, but that they're open to the idea. I think if enough people request tinted lenses, then they'll start offering them.
Get an alert when we add new styles of Aqua Sphere! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.

With the fear of the recession and the extended European debt crisis, the housing prices have gone down, with home mortgage rates falling down to levels not seen for many years. The temptation with such a situation is for borrowers to get into more debt, forgetting that the interest rates may also rise with the corresponding improvement in the economic situation. These are facts you'll need to take into account when considering mortgage refinance in Vancouver. If you want to refinance your mortgage loan, there are a number of factors you should consider, some of these are discussed below.
Introduction to Mortgages
Low mortgage interest rates offer the best opportunity for any homeowner to get refinancing for his or her existing mortgage loan. Getting a home loan with an interest rate below the one you started your first loan on can be a great way to save money and accelerate paying your existing home mortgage. Although many banks have tightened their lending terms, you can be able to find a lender who will accept your application if you shop properly and if you have 20% equity in your home and a credit score of 740 and above. You can also use the refinancing as a means of improving your credit score.
When you are ready to get a refinancing loan, it is important to shop around. The rates vary between the different lenders, but you should look beyond the rates. The quality of service provided by the lender is one of the things you should consider if you want the best refinancing deals in the market. When you find a bank or lender that offers very low interest rates, make sure you take a closer look at them as most of these will have different ways of getting compensated for the low interest rates. This may come in the form of administrative fees or other additional charges.

Thanks to, well, Thanksgiving, one could say that film news has slowed down to a minuscule drip this weekend.
Or, you could use the overindulgence in roast turkey and all the trimmings to appreciate the kind of news that might have been swept under the carpet on busier days.
News like the fact Michael Giacchino will return to compose the music for Star Trek 2, having done a bang-up job first time round.
Speaking to ComingSoon, Giacchino confirmed, "Yes, I'll be back… I'll be there as soon as they finish it."
Oscar-winner Giacchino has flourished the baton for some of the most memorable movie scores of recent years, including The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Let Me In, and Up (for which he took home the Academy Award).
Star Trek 2 will be warping into cinemas on 17 May 2013.
