A wintertime favorite in my kitchen. I've made it with pork sausage, turkey sausage, and meatless sausage. It is delicious either way.
Thyme-Scented White Bean Cassoulet

I used this as a base for a cassoulet light on meat, rather than staying vegetarian or trying to modify a meat-heavy recipe. Kept the basic proportions & crockpot. Used sweet turkey Italian sausage broken into bit-sized pieces rather than Boca. Added more garlic, used chicken broth instead of vegetable, used fresh thyme. After 6hrs added 1/2c white wine. At 7hrs put into 350 oven. Added 2 cloves garlic to seasoned bread crumbs, pulsed to combine with cheese and butter. At 8hrs added topping to casserole in oven to brown. Very good.

This is very good with either turkey Italian sausage or the vegetarian type. I just don't like parsnips, so I add an extra carrot and some crushed red papper. Otherwise, I simply cook on the stovetop the night before and let the flavors mingle until tomorrow's dinner. Good with salad or steamed kale with a crusty bread. Serving size is a bit small for big eaters or athletic men: my husband eats about three servings.

Very tasty! The garlic may need to be decreased, slightly. I doubled the vegetables and the results were great! It smells great while it is cooking, too!
Belanos Posted: 01/06/09
This was delicious, and I'll definitely be making it again. Given its not-that-attractive appearance, it could be okay for special occasions, depending on whom you're cooking for. I used canned beans and prepared the sausage according to the package directions as I had forgotten to thaw it first. I also forgot to add the vegetable broth when putting the ingredients in the crockpot, but it came out fine.

Made this for vegan friends, they agree it's one of the best recipes they've tasted. No slow cooker, so I just used canned beans and cooked over very low heat for four or five hours til all the ingredients had melded together but still held their individual shapes. I doubled the vegetables and used more beans than called for as well. I browned slices of apple potato sausage separately, and added them at the end with bread crumbs/Earth Balance, no cheese. This dish looked gorgeous and rich and tasted complex and satisfying. With a mixed green salad it was a wonderful meal. I intend to make it again many times, and my vegan friends will be adding it to their repertoire as well.

Added some leftover chicken...both light and dark meat, as well. Turned out great...lots of flavor!
eurocook Posted: 02/06/11
Took recommendations to add flavor: no thyme, so used "pasta seasoning" - basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary. One can of Great Northern + one can of black beans. Used a medium sized hard Italian sausage with a black pepper casing. Diced & sauteed, then added one hour before finish. Whirled 2 garlic cloves into breadcrumb mixture. Transferred to baking dish, topped with breadcrumbs and broiled on lo for 5 min. Perfect!
JenGutz Posted: 03/08/13
My family loves this recipe and it has become a winter staple. We use venison keilbasa and double it. With a husband and 3 teenage boys, there are never any leftovers!
Debo73 Posted: 11/19/12
Made as directed except turned my slow cooker to the "keep warm setting." After 8 hours it was just a lot of mush. Left out the sausage, cheese and breadcrumbs, added some water, and it made a tasty bean soup.
justbeth71 Posted: 02/24/13
This was absolutely delicious! Elegant comfort food - and just as yummy the second day. I enjoyed it with a nice glass of rose from Provence. Will definitely make again....
mophilipps Posted: 03/14/12
This was horrible; my husband and I ate it since there were no other options to whip up quickly, and I had to throw out all of the leftovers since we only finished what we needed to for sustenance. I usually make a quick white bean casserole from this website, but wanted to try something new since I wanted to use my slow cooker that day. I am definitely going back to the old recipe!
AnnaRos Posted: 01/27/14
Always looking for a good crockpot recipe!! I doubled the garlic & thyme. Browned and added a couple of turkey Italian sausages, a pork chop and a leftover chicken thigh at the beginning, chopped them up right before serving. (Alas, no duck confit available.) I cooked it on low 7 1/2 hours, turned it up to high and left the lid off for the last half hour to reduce a bit. Don't skip the buttered-breadcrumb-and-cheese step!!! Served it in shallow bowls with crusty French rolls on the side. Merveilleux!
JKinLA Posted: 12/02/13
Delicious, great winter stew. I put a pound of pork shoulder and some chicken thigh meat in at the beginning, and used chicken stock instead of vegetable broth. In the last hour I sauteed two Italian sausages and added them. I will definitely make this again.

Emory University SCCM Server Accidentally Reformats All Computers Campus-wide
Re:Surprisingly Infrequent (564 comments)
We use SCCM extensively at my office, and yes, it's entirely possible to tell it to reimage every single computer. You just need to target the deployment at "All Systems" and make it mandatory. My guess is that some admin picked the wrong collection, which is fairly easy to do in SCCM 2007 (2012 has Collection folders, which helps with that), and there's no warning messages -- just a summary of "this deployment is going to these devices, click Finish to do it." Of course, most other mass management tools assume that the admins know what they're doing, so they don't have much in the way of guard rails either.
One of the more obnoxious elements of SCCM is that there's no real way to recall a command you send out; clients pick up policy at periodic intervals, and without manual intervention, they'll just grab the policy and do what it says even if you kill the server in question. You can block deployments by taking down distribution points (if the clients can't grab content, they won't run the deployment), but you still have to be fairly quick about it to stop it.
What we do to prevent these sorts of disasters is implement process around the use of the ConfigMgr console and ensure only the people who know how to use it actually use it. To prevent an OS reimaging incident, our OS deployments go through a static set of collections by process and are always optional (requiring a manual touch, either at PXE boot or in the UI) except for a specific set of collections that are segregated in their own folder and have names and descriptions with scary words that make it clear what's going to happen. For instance, in our "Clean Reimage" folder, we have a collection that says, "Windows 7 Reimage (Clean, PXE, Forced)" with a description to the effect of, "*** A computer placed in this collection will be REIMAGED and LOSE ALL LOCAL DATA. Local state is NOT preserved or transferred. ***" If we were a larger IT organization, we'd probably use SCCM's role-based security to limit access to clean reimages to a specific group of people.

For Nick Riopelle, surfing is more than just a competition. The sport that was born right here in the Hawaiian islands has become a release, a lifestyle, a training tool, and a motivator for the transplant from Maryland.
After moving here in 2000, Riopelle made his way to the waves in Makaha. Though he had heard that things can be a bit rough from the local surfers, he took his board and paddled out head on into a life changing situation.

Dissipative Advertising Signals Quality Even Without Repeat Purchases
AbstractEconomists have emphasized the role of dissipative advertising and price as signals of quality. Most works, however, limit the number of types to two options: high and low quality. Yet, production costs and quality both result from R&D efforts and therefore are both uncertain. I characterize the optimal separating marketing mix (price and advertising) when quality and marginal cost are both subject to chance. In a static framework (no repeat purchases and no informed consumers), advertising appears to be necessary together with price to signal quality. Equilibrium profits depend on cost but not on quality: all rents are dissipated for signaling purpose.

Why Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ) is Tumbling on Thursday
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ) is tumbling after providing a gloomy update on its Oyu Tolgoi operations, a copper and gold mine located in Mongolia.
By midday, shares had unloaded 6.9% to $3.18. Year to date, the stock is down 3.6%.
The Vancouver-based miner said its Oyu Tolgoi mine would generate $55 million in gross revenues, or $26,400 tonnes of concentrate, over fiscal 2013. The company said these projections fall short of initial sales volumes projected, with some sales expected to be deferred into the second and third quarters of 2014.
The mine, which Turquoise and Mongolian government share a 66%:34% stake in, has seen production interruptions due to delays in negotiations on shareholder issues and financing projections."Further delays may occur if outstanding shareholder issues, including project finance, are not resolved before the expiration of lender commitments on existing project finance arrangements," the company said in a statement. Production rates were also recently impacted by various post-commissioning issues, such as the failure of rake blades in the tailings thickeners. Management expects this to result in the shutdown of one line for up to eight weeks. Turquoise Hill projects 2014 production of 150,000 to 175,000 tonnes of copper in concentrates and 700,000 to 750,000 ounces of gold in concentrates. Mining giant Rio Tinto (RIO) holds a 50.8% controlling interest in Turquoise Hill.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Upcoming Events
Clusters of Comorbidities Based on Validated Objective Measurements and Systemic Inflammation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Assembly Chair
Roger Goldstein, MD
Welcome to the website of the Assembly on Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR). Ours is the newest assembly of the 13 ATS Assemblies. We grew from a broad base of interested members from around the world, who have a variety of complementary educational, clinical and research interests. We achieved full assembly status in ATS in 2008. We are delighted to encourage further growth of our multidisciplinary membership as well as to enjoy our many international members. Both are in keeping with the nature of our discipline. We also remain very open to linkages with other Assemblies of the ATS. Our leadership has fostered growing and productive linkages with the ERS and we see this as an important step in harmonizing activities in the PR area between the two societies.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation, as a discipline, has moved from a peripheral interest to mainstream in the management of chronic respiratory conditions. The rapid accumulation of scientific evidence born of well designed clinical trials, with valid, reproducible and interpretable outcomes has made ours an evidence based discipline recommended by professional associations around the world, in their guidelines for the management of those with COPD. Sound scientific data is also emerging in support of the effectiveness of PR in other respiratory conditions including conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, thoracic restriction and pulmonary hypertension as well as it being used pre and post-operatively for thoracic surgery. The optimal treatment of individuals with chronic respiratory disease requires combining non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic therapies. It also requires management across the disease spectrum and at different times when patients may be clinically stable or immediately post exacerbation. As a result PR has become a key component of the integrated care of patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
We are led by the following people.
The Planning Committee chaired by Rebecca H. Crouch, DPT, MS, PT. This Committee is responsible for formulating the long term plans and projects for the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Assembly.
The Program Committee chaired by Anne E. Holland, PhD. This Committee is charged with planning offerings at the International Conference. In addition to presentations and posters that emerge from abstract submissions, this Committee develops symposia and sessions of interests to members of our Assembly.
The Assembly Liaison is Linda Nici, MD. The role of the liaison is to provide and introduction to new members to the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Assembly.
The Assembly Web Director is Frits Franssen, MD, PhD The role of the web director is to organize and create new content for the ATS Pulmonary Rehabilitation web page.
The Executive Committee is chaired by Roger Goldstein, MD. This Committee coordinates the activities of the Assembly.
We welcome new members and are eager to help members become involved in our activities. Feel free to contact us at email@example.com with your suggestions and requests.
Roger Goldstein, MD
Assembly Chair (2013-2015)

They have the right to do that, but it's not right to do things that are of the nature of what was done by, apparently this film. I think the whole film is a terrible idea. I think him making it, promoting it showing it is disrespectful to people of other faiths. I don't think that should happen. I think people should have the common courtesy and judgment- the good judgment- not to be- not to offend other peoples' faiths. It's a very bad thing, I think, this guy's doing."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have yet to announce whether or not star running back Doug Martin will miss the remainder of the season, but they have already announced that he will be ruled out of tomorrow night's match up against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football.
Tampa Bay made the official announcement today.
From Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:
The #Bucs officially declare RB Doug Martin as OUT for tomorrow's game given his torn labrum. Still unclear on his status this season tho
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 23, 2013
The likelihood is that Martin will not be able to return to the team until it is too late and they are well out of the playoff mix (which they already are), so they would be wise to protect their best offensive player and place him on the injured reserve list so he is able to return next season at 100 percent.
For fantasy football owners like myself who were hoping for a big year from Martin, the early investment did not turn out as planned.

March 30, 2012 By: Former Writer
Not too long ago, we brought you coverage of the HTC EVO 3D HBoot downgrade, which allowed users to finally rid themselves of HBoot 1.5 and achieve true s-off status. And as expected, it's taken off like wildfire. Since then, users and developers alike have breathed new life into the HTC EVO 3D forums, as now users can do whatever they want to their phones.
However, there are still some out there who just aren't as comfortable as they'd like, and haven't gone through with the somewhat difficult procedure. While the concept of overly simplified tools is a hot topic here, there are some who believe that simplified tools are useful and even preferred over longer, potentially riskier solutions. To that end, XDA Forum Member closeone has created a tool that will the less facile go trough the process with minimal difficulty. It's a bootable live CD that automates as much of the process as possible, leaving only the need for just a few simple terminal commands.
The Live CD, which has been updated several times and is has both a stable release and an experimental release, comes with very easy to follow instructions and a full FAQ from closeone on how to use it and exactly what work is involved on the side of the user. Users have reported that the Live CD works well and is significantly easier than the manual process.
According to XDA Member Advocate Admin and News Guru egzthunder1, it should be noted that there are some dangers associated with the Live CD.
The method will completely brick the 3D if you try to brick it while it is S-OFF. Apparently, emmc mode does not activate if you are S-OFF already, so corrupting the bootloader will only result in a permanent brick. Unknownforce added this to the OP on his guide.
So if you're S-OFF do not, under any circumstances, attempt to use this method as it will cause you many irreversible problems.
For more information, download links, FAQ, discussion and more, check out the Live CD thread. Remember to be careful, as even simplified rooting methods carry an inherent risk.

HTC users occasionally have to use some interesting methods to flash what they want onto newer devices. From risky methods of downgrading their bootloader to applications that have to flash kernels, device hacking isn't always straight forward. To help make this a bit easier, XDA Recognized Developer drellisdee has posted a tool that allows HTC owners to look at, and change, their Main Version.
The tool allows users to lower their Main Version to allow the flashing of older RUUs, which could help downgrade Android versions and HBoots if used properly. While originally intended for the HTC Rezound, this tool is compatible with other emmc-based HTC devices starting with the G2 / Desire-Z, and has been tested successfully on the Incredible 2. In the words of the developer:
This tool will allow reading and directly writing the main version in Htc's misc partition to allow flashing if your main version is higher than the hboot/fastboot zip you are trying to flash or for the purpose of software downgrading on most HTC devices.
Device must be an emmc based HTC & you must have root.
This should work on all emmc based HTC devices G2 to current such as rezound. This tool has been tested on Incredible 2 and on Rezound.
The application itself is for Linux users only, but Recognized Developer con247 has implemented the program into a recovery-flashable update.zip. Eventually, drellisdee has plans to implement this into a custom recovery:
I will eventually have this included into my RA Revamped recovery lineup as time permits.
Those interested in getting started or checking out the source code should head over to the original thread. Just be sure to proceed with caution to not end up with an expensive and shiny paper weight.
February 9, 2012 By: Former Writer
The well known website www.htcdev.com is slowly becoming the go to website for HTC users who want to unlock their bootloaders and get s-off on their bootloaders. However, sometimes there are easier ways for people who don't want to register their device with HTCdev and want to have the option to retain their warranty.
It is with this in mind that XDA Member shadi22 has posted a method that allows users carrying the HTC Desire S to downgrade from the latest hboot version so that they can attain s-off without all the hassle of the website.
The tools required are easy to obtain and include:
2.misc_version (download attachments below)
3.OLDEST RUU for your "REGION/ BRAND".. i repeat, specific region to avoid customer ID error.
4. adb (you know how it works)
5. phone in USB debugging mode.
The process is a tad complicated and requires using ADB, so be sure that if you give this tutorial a shot that you carefully read the instructions and follow them. Once everything is flashed properly, then it's just a matter of running over to revolutionary.io and using the tried and true s-off method.
For those carrying the HTC Desire S and want some s-off goodness, check out the original thread for downloads, full instructions and all your s-off needs. Once you're rooted and s-off, don't forget to make that backup before you go flashing anything.

S-OFF. Those five characters represent the world to power users. They represent the ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want, without the OEM holding you down.
For many a GSM EVO 3D user, those few characters seemed unattainable. HTC had locked the HBOOT and downgrading seemed impossible. As the months passed, hope seemed lost…
Fortunately for them, a clever chap by the name of navrasis refused to give in. After much research he cracked the code, err…blocks in this case. You see with a little creativity (and a hex editor) he managed to beat the system. See for yourself here.
A word of caution though, this mod is not for the faint of heart. Any time you mess with things on such a low level, you take a chance of bricking your device.
So rejoice EVO 3D users: you won.

Your high flying 3-Gun matches usually feature big names and big sponsors. While our sponsors are pretty well known (Brownells, Sig Sauer, Tru-Spec, etc...), the names aren't. That's because the people running through these tactical courses are law enforcement. Police officers, federal agents, county sheriffs and more. They're also restricted to duty guns — only those they actually use on the job. But that doesn't mean that can't put on a show.
The NM PPC Tournament is one of the Nation's top shooting competitions. Over the years we've grown in the number of competitors and sponsors. Don't miss your opportunity to be a part of this amazing event.

Draft Reactions
Griffin stole the show, but a lot of interesting things happened for the Redskins over the course of seven rounds and nine picks. If you're fixated on name recognition, you're probably disappointed with the haul (after RGIII). But a fully informed perspective should ease your concerns. Even without a 2nd-rounder I think the 'Skins did well to improve their future, especially in the intermediate-to-long-term. Here are some of my initial reactions in no particular order:
- If Griffin is even 80% of what we think he is, the rest of this draft is gravy. Bonus. Remember that. Any draft class that includes a franchise quarterback is a good one. That's your starting point.
- Some people were hoping we'd move up into the 2nd for a household name that slipped through the cracks on Thursday night. I'm not terribly disappointed that we didn't. This team still has numerous weaknesses and will benefit from competition throughout the roster, even on special teams. I doubt we'll see 100% of the draft picks make the roster this year (as happened last year), but that's okay too. It means other guys have stepped up. Shanny just keeps bringing in more and more competition at every position, which is a key ingredient in this so-called "winning culture."
- I'll be up-front in admitting I was initially underwhelmed by the LeRibeus pick in the 3rd. I had never heard of him before. I'm not a draft maniac, but I'm pretty thorough, so I assumed right away that my lack of familiarity meant he was clearly a reach. I've since done a lot of Internet research on him and can honestly say I'm warming up to him. He has what I would call a "radically blue-collar" attitude toward football and blocking, very reminiscent of our beloved Hogs. He's a grinder. Loves to piss off his opponents. The NFC East will probably hate him. He's just sloppy and dirty and loves hitting guys. He won't blow you away with natural athleticism, but he has enough of it to pull very effectively. Shanny doesn't historically take linemen as high as the early 3rd, so you have to believe he will fit the system. I think he'll push 'Steiger or Chester (or maybe even Monty, as he can play some center) for playing time even as a rookie. I'm still not swooning over this pick, as I think he might have been available later on, but I like what it stands for.
- Keenan Robinson should be getting more pub than he is. Good size, good instincts, very good athleticism, very productive player in the Big 12. Has a chance to develop into a quality starter. He and Riley might make a nice inside pairing one day, after Fletch moves on. Robinson is not a pass-rushing maven, but made a lot of impact plays in college, including a nice sack of RGIII. He has nice range in going sideline-to-sideline.
- The Internet has been flooded with Kirk Cousins discussion, so I'll barely touch on it here, except to say that I have absolutely no problem with the pick and appreciate that Shan stuck to his draft board, rather than picking some dude that might one day "fill a need." QB2 is a major need. I'll probably end up blogging about this eventually because there is so much impulsive nonsense out there about it right now. In the meantime, I agree with pretty much everything Hogs Haven wrote about it here.
- Gettis has some nice potential at both guard and center. Wouldn't be shocked if he sees the field this year.
- Morris is flying totally under the radar but, as proven in the video posted below, he runs like an evil beast and will probably be Shanny's next tailback gem.
- Compton is probably my favorite pick of the bunch (not counting Griffin). He has ideal size and above-average athleticism for the tackle position, started for two years each on either side in college, and was extremely effective throughout his amateur career, albeit against second-rate competition. I'd actually have been satisfied with him in LeRibeus's spot (or definitely either of the 4th-round spots), so I'm very high on taking him in the 6th. I figured he'd have been snapped up by another ZBS team by then. I think this guy will start for us one day. Angling for an original BB email interview with Compton as you read this.
- Crawford and Bernstine are total wildcards but appear to offer nice special teams ability, which could help them make the final roster.
- A quick note on the undrafted free agent class: at least two (and up to four) of these guys have legitimate potential to make the NFL. Chase Minnifield, whose dad was a very good player for the Browns, was probably a 2nd-rounder until late-season knee surgery. Excellent size, very good technique, outstanding ball skills. Not the fastest guy in the world but seriously, he's a baller. I'll tell you right now that if his knee is not an issue, he could be the best corner on the Redskins by 2014. The other guy I really like is 6'3" receiver Lance Lewis, who scored 22 touchdowns for ECU in the past two seasons and had a huge day against Top 10 pick Stephon Gilmore when ECU played South Carolina. Lewis is a big target with phenomenal deep ball skills. Just a touchdown-machine. He bounced around some junior colleges for academic reasons and ended up at ECU only because eligibility issues kept him out of the bigger conferences. He can't block worth a lick but as a pass-catcher, I could see him being in the top five or six on this team immediately. The other two guys in this UDFA class I'll watch closely are center Grant Garner and tackle Josh Oglesby, both of whom are athletically limited but 1st Team All-Conference as seniors.

English actress Sophie Winkleman is practicing a new role: motherhood! The actress, who's appeared in Two and a Half Men, and her husband, Lord Freddie Windsor, welcomed a daughter on August 15th. Little Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina is a few steps behind her royal cousin — Prince George — as she's 42nd in line to the throne.
Two and a Half Men alumna Kelly Stables is about to have a "half" of her own! The actress and her husband Kurt Patino are expecting their first baby on September 18th. Stables, who has described her pregnancy as "… such an exciting time …" on her Twitter page, is currently appearing in the TV Land series The Exes.
It may be all about the boys on the set of Two and a Half Men, but recent Emmy winner Jon Cryer is enjoying the softer side of life at home. He and wife Lisa Joyner recently adopted a baby girl, Daisy, who was born August 11th.
Cryer set rumor mills churning by referencing his "baby girl" during his recent acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor, and his publicist later confirmed the couple's adoption plans.
Cryer has a son, Charlie Austin, from a previous marriage to Sarah Trigger.

okay look at the last 4 years
you dumb motherfuckers gave george bush 8 years to fuck this economy up and expect it to be cleaned up in 4 years?
please have a seat on the floor you don't even get a chair
Blaming economic problems caused by policy decisions and monetary issues that were in place far before Bush's two terms on Bush makes no sense. It also makes no sense to expect the economy to soar when the same policies that caused and/or contributed to the economic crash continued during Obama's first term. And will carry over to his second term. Or to Romney's first term.
People who are economically illiterate, the real "dumb motherfuckers" really shouldn't be the ones telling critics to be quiet. Here's Rothbard's take on economic ignorance.
It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance
So please, if you think that Obama carrying on the same policies as his predecessors will someday, somehow "fix" the economy, "have a seat on the floor, you don't even get a chair". Actually, even better just stay home and stay out of the discussion.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A bustling hotel catering to both tourists and business travelers, with smaller-than-average but modern rooms and many features
The 1,010-room, 32-floor, Parc 55 hotel is the fourth-largest hotel in San Francisco, and it feels like it. Its giant, airy lobby hosts an endless parade of guests from all over the world -- among them, flight crews from Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific, and British Airways, as well as a meaningful contingent of Japanese travelers (the hotel even offers some singage and a TV channel in Japanese). Due to the Parc 55's close proximity to public transportation on Market Street and the high-end shops and theaters in Union Square, it is a good option for just about anyone visiting San Francisco.
The Parc 55 first opened in 2006, in what was once the Renaissance by Marriott. When the Parc's current owners took over, they brought in an extensive contemporary art collection and hired the esteemed architectural firm Gensler to execute a $30 million renovation that was finished in June 2009. The same outfit that refit the Hilton Financial District and managed the massive CityCenter project in Las Vegas, Gensler stripped out the Parc's '80s-era decor and refinished the hotel in cool greys and browns, added a restaurant, and spruced up the small guest rooms with flat-panel HD TVs, multimedia docks, and Wi-Fi. Outside the rooms, the modern 24-hour fitness center is one of the largest in San Francisco. And while the on-site restaurants aren't pinnacles of the city's dining scene, they are popular among hotel guests, and the bar can be swarmed during happy hour.
It's hard to overstate the buzz and bustle of the crowds at the Parc 55, but you'll find a similar experience at any 1,000-plus-room hotel, including the Westin St. Francis, the Marriott San Francisco, or the Hilton San Franscisco. While the Westin is generally more expensive, it also has larger rooms, a highly regarded cocktail bar, and a more desirable location directly on Union Square. The Marriott and Hilton are, in general, pretty interchangable with the Parc; if you're trying to choose between the three hotels, opt for the one that is least expensive. For a cozier experience in the same neighborhood, consider the Hotel Monaco for its quirkier style and a more inviting lobby or the Hotel Adagio, which has bigger standard rooms than the Parc 55.
Service is up to par for a midpriced, big-city hotel, though lunch is not available from room service.
Valets and bellmen swarm arriving guests at the ground level, offering assistance, and the front desk staff does its best to keep up with the sheer quantity of arrivals and departures. A concierge can help with the usual requests, and room service can provide breakfast and dinner -- but not lunch.
Four blocks from the shopping and theater hub of Union Square, the Parc 55 is just off the central artery of Market Street and two minutes from a Powell Street cable car stop.
The Parc 55 sits four blocks south of Union Square, which is famous for its shopping. Home to enormous outposts of Niketown, Saks, Tiffany, Macy's, Louis Vuitton, and Neiman Marcus, among others, Union Square is to San Francisco what 5th Avenue is to New York and Rodeo Drive is to L.A. Locals don't hang out here, but the square is great for people-watching nonetheless, and it occasionally plays host to small festivals and demonstrations (as well as a popular ice-skating rink around the holidays). If conspicuous consumption isn't a priority, however, you might prefer a neighborhood closer to the city's biggest attractions, like Nob Hill or Fisherman's Wharf.
The smaller-than-average rooms feel a bit cramped, but they all have modern electronics, including HD TVs, and comfortable beds.
Many of the features you'd expect of a midpriced business-and-leisure hotel: a modern fitness center and a business center
Not the best choice for families -- smaller rooms; no pool; business focused
Other hotels -- like the Handlery Hotel, which has bigger rooms and a pool -- might be a better choice for families who wish to stay in Union Square. For additional options, take a look at our editors' picks for the best kid-friendly hotels in San Francisco.
Scuff marks here and there, but overall well maintained
The hallways show some scuffs, but the hotel is otherwise very clean, especially considering the high volume of guests. The rooms and bathrooms were both well cleaned.
The Parc 55's restaurants serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but the hotel isn't known for its cuisine.
There are two restaurants inside the hotel, the independently operated hole-in-the-wall-style Smooth and the more formal Cityhouse restaurant. Though its steakhouse and New-American entrees are priced for it, Cityhouse isn't quite relevant in the hyper-competitive San Francisco dining scene -- it's more popular with guests than locals. The noodle platters at Smooth, however, get decent reviews from locals.
After its 2009 renovations, the big, bustling, 1,010-room Parc 55 hotel has some great, modern touches -- big HD flat-screens, an extensive contemporary art collection, and top-notch equipment in the fitness center. It's a fine choice for Union Square, four blocks from the theaters and fashion boutiques, but the nearby Marriott and Hilton hotels are both very comparable.

Carey has managed to lose 10 inches from his waist thanks to a healthier lifestyle. He's now in control of his diet, eats good food, exercises almost every day and drinks plenty of water. Although this diet change was extreme, considering the 52-year-old's breakfast consisted of pancakes, sausage, cheese sandwich, egg, and a couple of coffee cups with eight packs of sugar, Carey says that eating healthier is a lot easier.
"The hardest diet I was ever on was the one when I was fat," he admits. "You can only wear fat clothes, you don't feel good, your sex life gets damaged, you don't have energy for anything. It's horrible."
Carey decided it was time to lose weight when he realized he's fat enough to die from a heart attack before hitting 60.
"I always thought I was going to die before I was 60," he confessed. "My father died of a heart attack in his 40s. I'm not an idiot. The writing was on the wall."
So that's when Carey took the initiative and got in touch with Marc Vahanian, his former trainer from after his surgery back in 2001.
He wrote to him: "Are you still in the lifesaving business? Because I need to have my life saved."
Carey started with a detox diet that lasted two weeks, and which included vegetables, lean protein, fruits, vitamins and supplements, as well as 64 ounces of water every day.
Drew Carey's Diet Plan
- Breakfast
Scrambled egg whites with a side of fruit
- Lunch
Turkey burger (no cheese), green salad with balsamic vinegar, steamed broccoli
- Dinner
Grilled chicken breast, steamed green vegetable, green salad with balsamic vinegar
- Snacks
An apple, a handful of grapes, or a sugar-free popsicle
Carey also exercised six days a week, about 45 minutes a day. His workout routine included bike riding, jogging, treadmill, swimming, water jogging or elliptical.
The Price is Right host says that he is now planning to make healthy living a part of his job.Celebrity Weight Loss, Drew Carey, Drew Carey diet

A Mountain of Fun Playroom
Professional Project
Project: Kids playroom for two
Project by: Rebecca Zajac/Design by Numbers
Location: Las Vegas, NV
This started as a "virtual makeover" or e-design project. The dramatic impact of the room came from the simple abstract mountain paint treatment. Painting out the existing closet built-ins white and adding the chalkboard door helped freshen up and brighten the small space.
Painting out the existing closet built-ins white and adding the chalkboard door helped freshen up and brighten the small space. Only a few pieces of furniture came into the playroom in order to leave room for playing. A fun teepee reading corner was created, a large durable indoor/outdoor rug, toy storage and a small round table with stools. A kid friendly art gallery and Etsy artist "yarn bombed antlers" completed the space.
Thanks, Rebecca! Readers, find more details about this makeover at Design by Numbers.

Love it!
Might have to steal the mountain paint idea - we're designing two bedrooms for foster children and I'm constantly looking for more ways to make the rooms a little more fun.
Love the geometric elements! Great contrast with a splash of pink against the various blue palettes. I have a blackboard room in my kitchen, useful and fun for adults to ;)
I am always appalled by what people in the US (or any other place with wrong priorities) believe is a small space. That room has a nice size, no need to undermine how pretty it is with a size comment.
Did you really just malign the character of an entire country because of a variant opinion on what constitutes 'small'? It must be nice getting to be the one person in the world who gets to decide what small is and which priorities are correct.
Glad you enjoyed the makeover. Please be sure to check out my site designbynumbers.com I will be uploading a how-to video for that paint treatment. :-)
I'm glad you enjoyed the space. I'm sorry the size comment thru you off, the room is photographed with an extremely wide lens to best show off the design. It does make the room appear much larger (I'm also standing outside the doorway and inside the closet to get the widest shot) Size is relative and there is nothing wrong with a smaller space.

The 1% is Hogging so much of our Income that it's Holding the Economy Back | Informed Comment

We all know that inequality has been rising and the average American household has been suffering. There is a myth that says all this suffering is necessary, that extreme inequality is the by-product of a rapidly growing economy—or worse, that it's a good thing because it motivates everyone to work hard and climb the long ladder to the One Percent. § Even a brief glance at the historical record reveals just how perverted this hypothesis is.

There are two sections. The first section teaches you how to initially set your grind range and coffee doses. In the US, the prevalence of latte drinking has resulted in many cafes using grind settings that are much too coarse, and doses that are much too high, for straight espresso. The result is that they taste much too bitter and sour. The second section teaches you how to analyze the taste of the shot in a way that allows you to adjust the taste balance to your liking. This is the way the best baristas fine tune their shots. Knowing which taste details go with which shot preparation details is the fastest way to improve your skills.

American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be appearing before the British public for the first time in London on the 19th of October to present a controversial new discovery: ancient confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to Atwill, that the New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ. His presentation will be part of a one-day symposium entitled "Covert Messiah" at Conway Hall in Holborn (full details can be found at http://www.covertmessiah.com).
