5-Minute DIY Driftwood Mirrors

A Play Kitchen Makeover that will Make your Real Kitchen Jealous

Interactive Playroom Gallery Wall

Playroom Silhouette Mural – At Long Last!

The 3 part Writing Process
Did you know that there is a 3 part writing process that is suggested for business writing? There is! It is taught in business communication courses but it applies to most forms of writing as well. It's very simple and looks like this:
I think the chart itself is pretty simple and doesn't really need a whole lot of clarification. The part that always surprised my students though was the amount of time that should be alloted to each part.
The Planning (or Pre-writing) phase should take up about 25% of your time.
The Drafting (or Writing) phase should also take up about 25% of your time.
But the Revising phase should take up 50% of your time. This is perhaps the most important part of the writing process!
Does your writing process look anything like this?

20 days til I leave (if I leave on the 7th). I'm probably gonna go on the 7th since I was told that the 8th would be really packed and I'm becoming more and more excited. I wanna stay in the 1500 dorms because I was told that was best and I'll be working in area 3, in the back of the park, by the Gemini. That's great because I love the Gemini and I'm usually in the back of the park anyway. I'm still searching for people who are working there on facebook and tumblr. I was thinking of adding Steve Vorhees since he's the guy who hired me, but I don't know if I should. Well I have a lot to do today so I'm gonna get going. If you wanna talk to me or ask questions, go ahead. :)

Sectional too big??
January 25, 2013 in Design Dilemma
Please help, I bought this Bernhardt sectional format family room..now I think it's too large for the room, I've lost sleep over this..want to try to bring it back before proceeding any further with the room..I have about 3.5 feet on each side for tables....please ignore the TVs and stuff..they r all going. Any help would be awesome. Karen in Toronto..note to self...hire a designer
Love the sectional but I think it's a little askew! I suggest shifting it down the wall toward the fireplace. Then install a long console table between the sectional and wall accessorizing with lamps and interesting artwork. To fill in the space in front of the window... A nice tall plant in a big pot or basket. Ground everything with a rug.
I think it looks like the right size. I love it!

well its tight. Do you have a coffee and end table in mind and will it fit in that space near the kitchen on the side of the sofa?

I think adding a rug and end tables will help as well.

I agree that moving it down the wall about a foot or so towards the kitchen would help along with a long sofa table along the wall that you move it away from. Putting some lighting and accessories on it with a plant or floor lamp in the corner will balance it?

Also, I think once you move the sofa down the wall a bit, you could put that awesome little side table on the other side of your cream colored chair to open up that walkway. I think I would try putting that chair to the left side of the fireplace, and if it works, put the middle section where the chair is now. The two end pieces just might fit together across from the fireplace. I agree the space needs a nice rug to tie all the pieces together.

I like the sectional..it is not as large and is not clunky like some can be. Once the room is put together more, I think it will look better. Also wondering if the suggestion to bring the sofa over more and use a console table may look good. if it doesn't further narrow the room in front of the fireplace....You could experiment.

I agree that the 3 cushion section of the sofa needs to be centered on the fireplace which becomes your focal point. I believe this is the way James has it. The rug needs to be much larger. Ideally all legs of the furniture should be on the rug and at the very least, all front feet. If you prefer a more contemporary feel you could use a large arch light placed at one end of 3 cushion section of the sofa. The shade could either go over the coffee table or the opposite end of the sofa. IKEA has some inexpensive arch lights that really add drama. I have one in black metal with 24" closed circular rice paper shade which I really like. A long coffee table would negate the need for an end table leaving room for a tall cylinder light on the floor. IKEA has 4 to 5 ft. cylinder lights with rice paper covering for very little. They give a very nice muted light. This room has so much potential. Please post a picture so we can see it when you are done.

Go back to sleep! You made a great choice! I love the sofa too. I would also get rid of the pillows-I like the clean lines of the sofa. Since the space is tight go with tables that have open legs/bases or glass tops to give a sense of openness. On are on the right track.
Wow that's a great example James, how do you do that?

Thanks for all the compliments, folks. I love helping with these design "puzzles". I am a product designer by trade but I have a great interest in architecture and home design being a son and brother of a building contractors. I use different software. This was done with Sketchbook Pro. Photoshop is another. good luck with your decor.
It's perfect for the space and I LOVE James' ideas. Definitely a glass coffee table, I'd do the rug a bit bigger so that it sits under the sectional. Once it's done it will be so cozy and elegant!

THURSDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Health care costs have
risen faster than the cost of other goods and services in the
United States over the past decade, leaving many Americans
financially worse off, according to a new RAND Corp. study released
Although the median-income American family saw a 30 percent jump
in income from 1999 to 2009, health spending grew much more quickly
and largely wiped out these gains, the researchers reported.
Translated into dollars, the findings mean that a typical family
of four had a monthly income growth of $1,910 over the decade but
had to spend 40 percent of that on health care costs, the
researchers said. And that same family now has only $95 a month in
extra income once health care costs, taxes and higher consumer
goods prices are calculated.
"Accelerating health care costs are a primary reason that so many American families feel like they are just treading water financially," the study's lead author, David Auerbach, an economist at RAND, said in a news release from the nonprofit research organization. "Unless we reverse the trend, Americans increasingly will notice that health costs compromise their other spending options."
Between 1999 and 2009, total spending on health care in the
United States nearly doubled to $2.5 trillion and individual health
care spending surged from $4,600 annually to slightly more than
$8,000 a year, according to the report.
In addition, monthly health insurance premiums grew by 128
percent, to an average of $1,115, and out-of-pocket spending surged
78 percent.
But although many health care costs are obvious to Americans,
like premiums, co-pays and deductibles, additional costs that
impact a family wallet include:
"The complex way that the United States pays for health care often obscures the consequences of health care cost growth for most American families," said the study's co-author Dr. Arthur L. Kellermann, director of RAND Health, in the news release. "This makes the challenge of controlling health care costs that much harder."
The study findings were published in the September edition of
the journal
Health Affairs.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Combine sour cream, water, oil, and egg, stirring with a whisk.

Found June 06, 2012 on The Football Fan Spot:
PLAYERS: Kevin Barnes, DeAngelo Hall, Cedric Griffin, Josh Wilson, Morgan Trent, Tanard Jackson, Brandon Meriweather, Madieu Williams, Reed Doughty, DeJon Gomes
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Kevin Barnes played in the slot for the Redskins last year, but played very poorly. DeAngelo Hall will be lining up on the slot this year, in addition to playing outside as a starter. Cedric Griffin, a free agent acquisition, will also play in 3-cornerback sets with Hall and Josh Wilson. Buried on the depth chart at cornerback behind those 3 and possibly Morgan Trent, Barnes is seeing some reps at safety in OTAs. Barnes would have a much better chance to establish himself at safety because of who the Redskins currently have at the position. Tanard Jackson, Brandon Meriweather, and Madieu Williams are all mediocre talents at best who were mostly unwanted this offseason, while Reed Doughty struggled mightily last year for the Redskins and DeJon Gomes is inexperienced. Either way, Barnes, a 2009 3rd round pick, is not guaranteed a roster spot in 2012.

How to Throw an Awesome Outdoor Party
Lara Shriftman: The great outdoors is always a great place to throw a party. When the weather is nice, don't stay cooped up in your house. Move your party outside and allow your guests to enjoy the fresh air! From the backyard of your house to a local, sandy beach, any outdoors location will be an instant success when you're throwing a summer party.
Here are some helpful tips for throwing the perfect outdoors party:
* Having your party in your own backyard is always great and convenient. Decorate with chairs, tables and fun lights, so your guests have a place to relax as well as socialize with one another.
* Park it! We love to take over a patch of a park and invite our friends out for a casual afternoon outing.
* Check out the local Y and see if it has a pool for public use.
* Make some calls to local hotels and see if they have a poolside spot available for reservation or rental. Remember, an off day (most any weekday) will be more affordable than a Saturday, Sunday or major holiday.
* Borrow a friend or family member's backyard pool.
* Find a sandy space at a local beach or lake. Check in ahead of time with park officials to find out whether you need to reserve a firepit, picnic table or gazebo, and whether or not alcoholic beverages are allowed on the grounds.
* Find a restaurant that has a beautiful outdoor dining area and see if you can rent it out for the night. Not only will this allow your guests to hang out outside, it will also take care of the food situation, because you can have the restaurant cater as well! (One of my favorite restaurants to hold an outdoor party in is Asia de Cuba in L.A.'s Mondrian Hotel. It overlooks the entire city!)
CHIC TIP: If you are having a pool party and are inviting kids, always have lifeguards on duty. Since it is your party, it is your responsibility to ensure that all of your guests are safe and have a fun time.
Good weather is crucial when it comes to outdoors parties. Make sure that you check the forecast far ahead of time to ensure that it will be nice on the day of your party. Remember: If you're having a day party that will carry over into nighttime, remind your guests to bring something warm to wear once the sun goes down.
* A large canopy tent creates a breezy, shady spot where guests can mingle. Not everyone likes hanging out in the sun, so if it's a sunny, warm day, it's important to provide guests with a cool place where they can socialize in case they get too warm. If you don't want to set up a canopy tent, beach umbrellas are a great substitution. You can find fun beach umbrellas at your local Pottery Barn, or order them online.
* Skip the usual red and blue and decorate with summery colors like pink and green.
* Rearrange seating in vignettes of four to six, six to eight, and eight to ten. This will give guests a comfortable place to relax, mingle and meet new people.
* Bring indoor furniture outside. Give that kitchen chair or living-room couch a makeover by draping it in white sheets or a playful fabric like terry cloth.
* A BBQ is always an instant success at any outdoor party. Make sure that you cook a variety of different meats (including a vegetarian option), so that all of your guests can enjoy the meal!
* Check the pet policy. If your outdoors venue allows animals, invite your guests to bring their pets along as well. Last year, I threw my miniature shih-tzu, Lulu Flynn, a dog party outside at the One Bal Harbour Resort and Spa.
* If you have a pool, accessorize it with fun water toys such as pool floats and water slides. I found a great water slide for my son, Lucas, at One Step Ahead.
* Create the ultimate lounge space by bringing out a bed and loading it up with pillows.
* Use patterned rugs or large bathmats to lay a soft foundation for sitting on the ground. Prop fluffy pillows around throughout the party space.
* At a hardwood store, purchase cut tree trunks and use them as end tables.
* Spray-paint plant stands your favorite color. These will serve as great end tables and will provide a space for people to place drinks and food.
* Always remember to have plenty of sunscreen at your party. You don't want anyone leaving with a bad sunburn!
* It's common for people to forget their towels at home, so make sure that you always have extra towels for your guests. That way, you can ensure that everyone has the option to go swimming, whether they forgot their towel or not!
* Remember, the key to any outdoor party is to have plenty of comfortable seating, so guests will want to hang out all afternoon!
* Always make sure that there is plenty of water at your party, so none of your guests get dehydrated. I always like to put out water bottles in big ice buckets, so guests can grab them whenever they want.
* For all outdoors parties, it's important to remember to only serve food that won't spoil in the heat. Some good options are miniature sliders, pigs in blankets and miniature grilled-cheese sandwiches. (Get creative and customize your sandwiches by using cookie-cutters to cut them into fun shapes and designs!)
* Have bowls of candy and nuts lying around for your guests to snack on as they socialize. I found a great three-nut bowl at Ralph Lauren that is a perfect serving accessory.
* Sensible Portions Veggie and Apple Straws. Kids love these fun straws not only because of their delicious taste, but because they are healthy as well! What's great about them is, you can buy them in a large package (so guests can nibble on them as they socialize) or you can buy them in small, individual packets (so each guest gets his or her own). Choose from a variety of flavors: veggie, apple or potato.
* Frozen treats such as Otter Pops and pints of Ben & Jerry's or Cold Stone Creamery ice cream are always great options for outdoor parties.
* CRUMBS cupcakes ... yum!
* Honest Kids fruit juice
* Serendipity Frrrozen Hot Chocolate
* Fun summer drinks such as mojitos, strawberry daiquiris and sangria. My favorite summer cocktail is Grey Goose's L'Orange Shiso Sangria:
1 ½ parts Grey Goose L' Orange flavored vodka
1 part plum wine
½ lime, cut into wedges
¾ part simple syrup
¼ plum, diced
4 to 6 shiso leaves (cilantro may be substituted)
In the bottom of a cocktail mixer, place plums, shiso leaves, lime and simple syrup. Add ice and remaining ingredients and shake vigorously. Strain into a rocks glass and present with a plum slice and shiso leaf.
It's easy to create a gift bag for a summer outdoors party. Hand out fun, colored sacks lined with tissue paper and filled with any or all of the following:
* Suntan oils and after-sun lotions
* Evian Mineral Water Spray
* Flip-flops and beach towels
* A CD with songs played during the afternoon
* A custom box of candy from Dylan's Candy Bar
CHIC TIP: Order something you can't get from a store -- like a fun Harry & David party box of gourmet fruits, chocolates and cheeses -- to give to your guests as they leave your party. That way, your guests can indulge in a combination of salty and sweet gourmet treats in the luxury of their own homes.
Thank you for these great suggestions! I always forget how easy it is to throw a fun outdoor party especially during the summer!
I love your idea of rearranging the seating in vignettes outside! This provided the perfect spot for my guests to mingle with one another and meet new people!

Lovely condo!
This condo is tastefully decorated. We found everything we needed from paper towels to salad bowls and plenty of towels. Location is perfect, nice and private yet minutes away from shops, restaurants and golf. Excellent communication with owner/agent. We highly recommend this listing.
Clean, convenient with great location.
Very nice condo. Clean and set up nicely. Perfect for those looking for a golfing vacation.
Great Value, Great Stay
I rented this unit for a weekend in February. We had a foursome in town for a golf tournament. The unit was modern, clean and convenient. We all enjoyed the large flat screen TV in the living area. We had great weather for the time of year, and the screened porch was a great place to relax, looking right on the golf course. The unit was also convenient to a great breakfast location at the harness track across the street. (One of those local "best kept secrets".) The owner was very accomdating with our check-in and check-out needs. If you are looking for a great value, this is it. I will be back.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Can 'Universal' Flu Drug Stop Swine Flu?
Universal Flu Drug: Affordable? continued...
Marasco insists that the answer is yes. Here's why: Instead of offering the new drug to the highest bidder, Marasco and colleagues asked drug companies to guarantee that the drug would be made available to people who need it -- regardless of their ability to pay.
"My primary concern is global health," Marasco says. "There is plenty of money to be made from the prevention and treatment of seasonal flu. I do not want that to interfere with [our drug's] very real ability to be a preventative agent in a pandemic."
Marasco says major drug companies have accepted this proposal and are competing to license the antibodies.
Meanwhile, he says that preliminary studies suggest that 3 million doses of the drug cold be made in 12 weeks at a cost of less than $10 a dose.
To prevent flu, a dose of the antibodies would have to be given every three to four weeks. It's not a pill -- the antibodies must be delivered via injection. It's not yet clear how large a dose would be needed to treat a dangerous case of flu -- so far, the antibodies have only been tested in mice.
Human studies, Marasco says, should be up and running by the 2010-2011 flu season -- unless the threat of a flu pandemic hastens the process.
Eventually, of course, the goal will be to make a vaccine that will cause people to make these antibodies themselves. Such a vaccine would protect against every known type A flu -- and might make annual flu shots obsolete.
Will Universal Flu Drug Fight H1N1 Swine Flu?
The big question right now is whether Marasco and colleagues are right -- and whether the new H1N1 swine flu does indeed have the predicted vulnerability to the "universal" antibodies.
Those studies are under way. Results should be announced very soon.

A former police officer's complaint against Jackson Police Chief Rebecca Coleman and other officers was thrown out for a second time in court Tuesday.
Former officer Samuel Haymer called for assistance at his residence after a domestic altercation in 2011. Jackson police officers responded, but Haymer was told his home was out of their jurisdiction.
Haymer lived in the county and should have called the sheriff's department, according to Coleman.
Instead Haymer filed a conspiracy complaint against the officers. Coleman described the charges as frivolous.
Tuesday, Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Tomie Green sent a stern warning to the retired officer -- If the same allegations are lodged again, Haymer would be held in contempt of court.
The judge also threw out a separate complaint against two Hinds County jailers. Inmate Tory Smith complained former deputy Boris Dixon and Earnest Saxton assaulted him. The motion to dismiss was granted because Smith, now an inmate of the Mississippi State Penitentiary, could not be in court to testify.

TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals, Washington Nationals, San Francisco Giants
The St. Louis Cardinals began Game 4 of the National League Championship Series without one of the best players in recent postseason history. Right fielder Carlos Beltran didn't start Thursday against the San Francisco Giants due to a sore left knee. Beltran left Game 3 on Wednesday after hurting the knee while running out a double-play grounder. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, an MRI exam was negative. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before Thursday's game that Beltran would be available as a pinch hitter. Matt Carpenter replaced Beltran in right field Wednesday, and his two-run homer led St. Louis to a 3-1 win, giving the Cardinals a 2-1 lead in the series. Carpenter was back in the lineup Thursday, but he and Allen Craig swapped positions, with Carpenter going to first base and Craig playing right field. Beltran, 35, is a career .375 hitter in the playoffs. He has 14 homers and 25 RBI in 31 postseason games. Beltran batted .444 with two homers an...

(Sheinside top and skirt set, EMODA earrings and necklace, Jellybean heels) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
(Sheinside sweater and skirt, Comfit heels) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
I'm pretty sure we'll see more checkered patterns next season, but I'm certainly not wearing them just because they're currently trendy. My mom has always had a penchant for plaids and checkers, and I'm certain that she passed it on to me. Every time we'd go shopping together, she'd automatically go to either the section where all the black are, or to the section where all the plaids and checkers are. I found myself developing the same habit throughout the years.
I've also been very partial to sharp angles and straight lines, etc. (as mentioned here) so this pattern is expected of me and my style. Crissey is the exact opposite - she is drawn to curved lines, and this clearly reflects on her drawing style, as well as on some of her fashion choices. In a way, I guess we are what we wear.
Speaking of Crissey, fate brought us together last Sunday when we coincidentally went to the same store in the same mall at the same time. Neither of us knew each other's whereabouts so we totally freaked out at what happened. That night, we talked about horror movies (she loves to scare herself, and I also get curious, lol) until we fell asleep. I woke up at exactly 3 AM after an immensely strange dream where I saw Crissey die as she fell into a large gap while we were going down the escalator. In an attempt to find her body, I looked down the gap only to find it pitch black. After a few minutes of mourning because I didn't know what to do and I really thought she was gone forever, Crissey miraculously found her way back up and immediately told me, in her usual cheery tone, that she fell 21 stories… and that "OMG, Greenhills pala yung nasa baba!" I was dying (lol) of laughter when I relayed the story to my brother. That punchline I can't even.
Also, I should mention that in my dream, while we were going down the escalator, Crissey was holding a giant squash and a broom. Stop haunting my dreams, witch (of course, the moe magical girl type) Crissey!

Printed Dress
(Ellysage dress, Dorothy Perkins belt, Jellybean heels, Daniel Wellington watch, Louis Vuitton bag) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
I found the nicest summer weekend dress! Sleeveless dresses are rather tricky for me, but this one is just more than ideal with the kind of cut that I am always drawn to. Forgive my lack of proper boobage (Oh yes, I said it.) to fill this dress out properly, but the dress is kind of amazing for still making me seem like I have a feminine figure, especially with the belt accessory to accentuate the waist. It's so rare for me to find sleeveless dresses that don't emphasize my strange boxy body type. /cry
The black of the belt matches the black of my heels perfectly, like salt and pepper or peanut butter and jelly. It's easy to misconstrue this as overthinking outfits too much. In all honesty though, I think I'm just immensely obsessive about the colors that I wear - being all matchy-matchy is like second nature to me already.
ALSO, don't these heels look just like the Zara ones from a few seasons ago? Lucky me, as I failed to buy the real ones while they were still in stores. What a steal.

Here's the second item that Cat and I produced for my MOFW Indonesia. This pleated skirt was made from another batik print fabric that I found in Mirota Yogyakarta. I was actually wondering why this wasn't sold out yet - You can't really see it properly in the pictures but there are some parts of this print that are outlined with some sort of shiny gold material. Super cute and also elegant in its own inexplicit way.

Access "Updating tools and processes key to overcoming SCM challenges"
This article is part of the May 2012, Vol. 1 Iss. 2 issue of Agile ALM collaboration
Software change and configuration management is an accepted part of the application lifecycle and is well established in most organizations. However, the use of outdated tools and processes is creating unnecessary challenges for many. If your organization is one of those that is struggling to reap the benefits of SCM, it may be time to look closely at the tools and processes you're using to see if there's room for improvement. According to WhatIs.com, software configuration management (SCM) enables developers to "keep track of the source code, documentation, problems, changes requested and changes made" to software. When SCM is done well, organizations benefit from repeatability, traceability and auditability, says Stephen Berczuk, Engineer, Humedica. "Code is easier to reproduce and you have a more reproducible process. You have fewer people scratching their heads, wondering why something isn't working," he says. "People can move more quickly and be more predictable." Challenges associated with SCM If the results of our 2011 SearchSoftwareQuality.com ... Access >>>

Yeah yeah, I am giving Cena & Ryback more superman stuff, but I would like it if they continued to emphasize The Shield's 3 on 1 advantage that they always use to help them rule whatever situation they are in.
This is a bad idea. I think it would do The Shield some good to actually have them expand on each individual member's movesets and strengths. The 3 on 1 pack mentality ends up making the individuals appear weak because they never do anything solo. Besides, people are getting bored of the beat downs. That is why the TLC match was good because it was an even playing field and The Shield still won.
Also, if they do it the way you suggested, it will almost certainly end with The Shield eliminating Ryback, then Cena overcoming the odds and beating The Shield by himself. If The Shield must lose then let them lose to all three of them. The match will be more unpredictable if all six of the men are in before eliminations start occurring.

Fort Clinch State Park
[ 8/10 ]
This was our second visit to this campground. You really cannot go wrong with any site. Both times we have stayed on the river campground. The river campground is shady and cooler. The beach side does not have any tree canopy. The drive to the campground is long and tricky. I recommend that you arrive before dark because there are a lot of trees to watch out for but the road is wide and paved. We had no problems. You will have to maneuver not to hit the trees. We do not like that this park is not pet friendly. You cannot take the dogs anywhere near the beach at any time and there are very limited areas to walk the dogs. My other complaint is the parking situation. We were there during 4th of July week and the parking situation was terrible. There were cars and boats parked everywhere including double parked in non-designated spots. Some sites had 4 vehicles plus boat, jet ski, and camper. We complained to the ranger and the response was that each site can have up to 8 people so that means potentially 8 vehicles plus boats! And we really saw this. Boats were sitting parked on the side of the road for days. Our impression was that the rangers do not enforce parking at all. Also, quiet hours are not enforced and really the rangers do not do a good job patrolling and enforcing the rules. Campers were up partying loudly until very late. On the other hand, the bathrooms are very clean and updated. The beach is beautiful! We would be back because of the natural beauty of the area and the town is wonderful.

This was our second stay at this campground. It is in a great location to visit Charleston. The roads in the campground are in good shape. The one thing I do not like about this campground is the poor drainage in the sites. We stayed at sites 47 and 49. I think that there much better sites but they book up. Mosquitoes are bad and I find them to be worse here than at beach campgrounds. One nice thing about this campground is the huge dog play area! So much fun for our dogs.
Beaufort, South Carolina
Hunting Island State Park
[ 8/10 ]
This park is very nice but the loop we stayed at was very difficult to maneuver. We stayed in site 115 which much to our surprise was layed out so that we could not back up into it. We had to drive the loop against traffic in order to be able to get into our site. We arrived after dark and found this to be extremely difficult. You see this loop is called the gauntlet. The road is tiny and there are trees right next to you and over you on both sides. Not to mention cars that are sticking out of their sites. Lots of trees had the scars from trailers hitting them. This part of our stay was very stressful. The bathroom and showers were very outdated and for this reason it looks dirty. Raccoons and deer coming up to our site in the middle of the day! The beach was great! The beach was not very full even though it was Memorial Day weekend. The wonderful thing too was that we could take our dogs on the beach. For this reason mainly, we would stay again but we would not come in after dark and would not stay in the site 115.

The idea for a play based on an argument over economic theory started with a random library book that found its way to Eric Samuelsen's hands.
After reading "Keynes Hayek: The Clash That Defined Modern Economics," the Utah County playwright couldn't stop thinking about a dark night during World War II that British economists John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek spent on the roof of a chapel in Cambridge. For one night in 1942, the college professors were assigned to wait and clear away any possible German bombs.
'Clearing Bombs'
Plan-B Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Eric Samuelsen's "Clearing Bombs," a fictional account of a nighttime argument by two prominent economists — joined by a fire warden — on the roof of a Cambridge church. "A play about economics and defining the future amid mortal danger," promoters say.
When » Thursday-Sunday, Feb. 20-March 2; plays at 8 p.m. Thursday-Friday; 4 and 8 p.m. Saturday; and 2 p.m. Sunday
Where » Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center's Studio Theatre, 138 W. 300 South, Salt Lake City
Tickets » $20 ($10 students) at 801-355-2787 or arttix.org
Info » planbtheatre.org/clearingbombs.htm; 90 minute running time, no intermission; no late seating

|Post a Comment
Not much is known about that night. No one knows the date, or even if any bombs fell. But what history didn't record gave Samuelsen the dramatic license to imagine a play.
First, it took a lot of reading. The retired theater professor knew so little about macroeconomics he couldn't even begin to comprehend Keynes's 1936 magnum opus, "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money," on his first read.
Samuelsen turned to his son Tucker, a University of Utah economics student studying public policy, for reading suggestions. By slogging through textbooks and the field's classic texts, the playwright began to fictionalize the story. He invented a third character, an everyman named Mr. Bowles, and sent him up on that dark roof.
Samuelsen is directing the world premiere of "Clearing Bombs," the latest entry in Plan-B Theatre Company's season devoted to plays by the playwright, who retired in 2010 from Brigham Young University.
The production features Mark Fossen as Keynes, with Jay Perry as Hayek. Kirt Bateman plays Mr. Bowles, a fire warden from London whom Samuelsen invented as a stand-in for the audience.
"Probably two economists would just talk hard-core economic theories, and the audience" — or the playwright — wouldn't understand the arguments, Samuelsen explains. "I thought if they had a third guy up there and they could have a debate, that might give the play some dramatic focus."
The cast came into rehearsals dreading the play's main subject, Samuelsen jokes, but now think they should receive credit for a university-level minor in economic theory.
The playwright assures theatergoers not to worry: There will be no quizzes at the closing curtain. "I certainly understand people feeling some dismay attending a play arguing macroeconomics," the playwright says, with a laugh. "I would, too. I'm not an economist. In terms of my understanding going into the project, I'm way more Mr. Bowles than the other two guys."
At its core, the play offers an illumination of the issues that American voters — and our politicians — are still debating. "If you really want to know why our current Congress can't seem to get anything passed, it's because they're still refighting Keynes versus Hayek," Samuelsen says.
What do audiences need to know before they come to see "Clearing Bombs"?
Just come and watch it. I hope the arguments and the characters and the situation of the play are self-explanatory. They're not going to need to prepare. I am, of course, utterly terrified that actual practicing economists will come see the play and say: "Oh, this man doesn't know what he's talking about."
What makes the plot relevant to Salt Lake City audiences in 2014?
The economics debates of the 1940s between these two guys are still immensely relevant to everything we talk about in the public policy debate. Keynes thought that economic theories had to be based on the way human beings actually behave. Hayek had a love affair with prices, as a way to quantify what we value and how much we value it.
What did you come to admire most about Keynes' and Hayek's theories during the course of writing the play?
Both of them were passionately engaged in the issues. Keynes was very involved in funding the war. Hayek wasn't, but he basically spent the war writing his book "The Road to Serfdom." To me, Keynes is about compassion, about economics used to help people. Hayek is about freedom, the dangers of encroaching on the individual liberties of people. That balance seems to be tremendously important, and seems to me almost like the main task of anyone working in public policy.
You've written your admiration for both men into the script. What stands out for you about their personalities?
Maynard Keynes: Almost anybody who interacted with him said he has an extraordinary passion for rudeness. And yet his arguments are all about how could we not help people in need? Friedrich Hayek: He was just laser focused on theory and the world of ideas. As a person, he had a little bit of a messy family life. But I think the key to him is where he talks about being in Austria during a time of hyperinflation, when the value of the [currency] was in freefall.
And what should audiences know about the character of the London fire warden Mr. Bowles?
Mr. Bowles is really kind of every working man, a laborer. … He's an intelligent man, but not very well educated. And above all, he's a family man — with five children involved in the war effort — and as such, also a patriot. I needed him for the argument. He was a lot of fun to imagine.Next Page >

Snow removal? Over rated.
Go through it!
MY druid is kitty DPS, and I used to be resto.
Actually, all through vanilla, BC, and Wrath I was Resto.
After they removed my ability to stay tree shaped the whole time, and then changed various other aspects of resto...well, I lost interest.
As of Cata, it's feral DPS all the way.
I miss my tree. :(

RG: Ball, Ribbon & Club Finals
The individual rhythmic gymnastics finishes up today with the ball, ribbon and club apparatus finals.
Continuing her medal winning run, Beijing Olympian Naazmi Johnston has won a further two medals, a silver in ball (25.700) and bronze in ribbon (25.375), to take her impressive overall tally at the 2010 Pacific Rim Championships to six.
Already bagging a gold (hoop – 26.450), two silvers (all around – 101.625, rope – 25.850) and bronze (team – 354.200), the 21-year-old has wrapped up an extremely impressive four days of competition.

Lua is a free and open-source language. The links here are a good place to start for info about Lua: http://www.wowpedia.org/Lua Aside from just understanding Lua by itself, you should also familiarize yourself with the WoW API. This is a great resource for that: http://wowprogramming.com/docs
Also, you might find it helpful to know that all addons run off of .lua files inside your addons directory. Just pull open any of your addons and you'll find tons of example code. If an addon is really simple it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what the code does especially if it's well commented (good luck with that, though).

Make or Buy? Canned vs. Homemade Beans
Beans are absolutely and without a doubt one of the cornerstones of our cooking. Light summery pastas, hearty soups, potluck salads: you name it and we'll put beans in it. With so many bean dishes coming through our kitchens, do we make our own or rely on canned?
We thought we'd do a three-way comparison on this one. Let's take a look at Goya canned black beans, Goya dried black beans, and Rancho Gordo midnight black beans. Goya is our preferred brand of canned beans and their dried beans are inexpensive and readily available in most grocery stores. Rancho Gordo beans are more gourmet and expensive, but their beans are some of the easiest to cook and our favorite to eat.
All costs were taken from Peapod Online Grocery except for the Rancho Gordo beans:
• Peapod Online Grocery
• Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food
We'll also use our oven-cooking method for cooking the homemade beans. One pound of dried beans gives us about five cups of cooked beans.
• How to Cook Beans: The Fast, Foolproof, No Soak Method
• Goya Canned Black Beans:
TOTAL: $1.00 for a 15.5-oz can
PER SERVING (1 cup): $0.50
• Goya Dried Black Beans:
TOTAL: $1.65 for a 1-lb bag
PER SERVING (1 cup, cooked): $0.33
• Rancho Gordo Midnight Black Beans:
TOTAL: $5.50 for a 1-lb bag
PER SERVING (1 cup, cooked): $1.10
If adding bay leaf, garlic, or other aromatics to your pot of homemade beans, increase the total cost by roughly $0.25.
• Goya Canned Black Beans: 0 Minutes
• Homemade Beans: 1 1/2 - 2 hours, almost entirely inactive
Beans are easy to make. Put them in a pot with some water and cook them in a 325° oven until they're tender. Stir occasionally and add more water as needed. Other than needing to be in your home during the cooking time, they don't require much labor or attention. The hardest thing is remembering to cook the beans ahead of when you'll need them; dried beans certainly can't be instantly turned into a quick weeknight meal!
Once cooked, those beans will keep for about a week, during which time you can take just what you need as you need them for dinners and lunches. Beans also freeze very well. Frozen in one-cup portions, homemade beans are just as convenient as popping a lid off a can.
Canned or homemade, and other than the sodium in canned beans, the healthiness of beans is about the same. Personally, we think that homemade beans taste better and have better texture. Canned beans often pick up a tinny taste from the can, are too salty (or sometimes not salted enough), and get too mushy.
With homemade beans, we get to add just as much salt as we want, along with aromatics like bay leaf and garlic. We can also control the cooking time, making sure our beans are cooked to the exact level of doneness that we want.
One other thing to consider: dried beans do have a shelf-life, albeit a long one. If you have a pot of beans that just doesn't seem to soften up, the likely culprit is old beans. You're more likely to get old beans with mass-produced dried beans like Goyas that have been sitting in the store or in a warehouse for who knows how long.
This is why we tend to pay a little more to buy beans like Rancho Gordos, which we trust to be fresh (plus we can find so many more varieties than in the grocery store alone!). Food co-ops or grocery stores with bulk bins can be a less-expensive source of reliable beans since they tend to have more frequent turnover of stock.
We're going with "make" on this one. Homemade beans are easy enough to make and taste worlds better than the canned version. Plus you get the pot liquor, which is an entirely different thing from the goop packed with canned beans! Even if you feel like you don't eat enough beans to justify cooking up a whole batch, the fact that you can easily freeze the extra still makes this a good choice.
That said, we'll always have a few cans of beans in our pantry for those emergency situations when we didn't quite get our act together or plan far enough ahead. Canned beans lack the depth of flavor of homemade, but they're perfectly fine to use in almost any recipe.
OUR VERDICT: Make!
What do you think?

I use both. I make a big pot on a Sunday and then portion it off in container to be frozen. I also buy the canned kind, mostly ones not frozen, such as kidney beans, and pour them into my meals.
Another grand benefit of dried beans - which we uncovered when we went carless: they weigh far less than canned and go "farther" for the space they take up in the bike bag. One 15-oz can of beans is the component of one dinner dish; one 16-oz bag can make three or four.
And for cooking beans from dried, nothing beats a pressure cooker.
I was a canned-bean enthusiast for years, but once I started planning better for meals with beans and got into the habit of soaking and cooking dried ones, I am a convert. It's hard to beat canned for convenience, but I just try to plan well enough that I have pre-cooked beans ready on nights when I know I won't have the time to come home from work and start the process then unless I want to eat at 11pm (which has happened before).
Dried beans are especially compelling now that I've been using Rancho Gordo beans for a few years now; they really are that good.
I tend to buy the canned ones. It is just so much easier. You can also use them in slow cooker recipes without fear of death (a bit dramatic? yes)
When I use the canned ones, I ALWAYS rince them for a while to try to decrease the saltiness. I do not really notice the tinny taste but that could also be because I almost always cook them in the pot for a bit.
With all that said, I will look into using the pressure cooker. Maybe that could give me the convenience of canned with the benefits of fresh.
At Walmart, a 2LB bag of dried black beans is $1.82. This would almost halve the cost of dried black beans.
I have to agree with what was posted, canned for emergencies literally in my earthquake stock of items and I make homemade once a week, being a vegetarian its a staple.
Both. We make and freeze batches regularly (there are always 5-6 kinds of cooked beans in the freezer), but for those nights where you dash in and need a quick dinner, we also have some cans around.
Both. Canned when I haven't planned and dried when I'm not lazy & have several days of meals worked out ahead of time.
I've toned down the canned foods in our house since the BPA/canned foods connection was reported. I still buy them to have on hand, but I'd like to stop using them altogether once I perfect a system for always having a few different types prepared (we're vegan and eat beans daily).
I have a pressure cooker, so 20 minutes I go from a bag of dry to fully cooked without all the salt of canned. And you really cannot beat the price, I stock up when a pound goes on sale for $0.88 (black and pinto I buy in bulk for less than that). People really don't realized just how cheap it is to be vegan when you don't go for all the fancy specialty items, which you don't need anyways.
Both, too. Like kariwk & others, I usually have some cooked and frozen (Sundays is often crock-pot beans day), but will use the canned on weeknights from time to time. And agree that Rancho Gordo are fabulous!
My local market just started carrying Zursun Idaho Heirlooms, http://www.zursunbeans.com, and I really like their products so far.
I mainly use dried beans, which I pre-cook, dole out into smaller containers, and then freeze.
But I also have a can or two of beans in the cupboard just in case I've gotten distracted and haven't noticed "oh, crap, I used up the pintos already?"
I use dried if the beans are the feature of the meal (black bean soup, red beans & rice), but I use canned if they're a minor extra (minestrone soup, beans on salad). It saves me from feeling guilty in two ways: 1) when the flavor really matters, I'm getting the best available and 2) when I'm eating less of the beans, I can live with the higher sodium.
But I am flexible... I have been known to make Real Simple's black bean soup from a can (plus a can of Rotel) when I know that would be better for me than eating Mac and cheese.
Another health issue that was not addressed is the BPA that you get from the plastic liners in ALL canned foods sold in the US. I love my home-cooked (pressure cooker) beans, such better flavor.
Another option is dried beans. I used to be able to get big cans of dehydrated bean flakes (from the Mormon church, even though I'm clearly not a member). They were the tastiest beans ever. But my source is gone, and so I use my pressure cooker to fill the void.
Both for me too! I keep some cans on hand for an emergency--or laziness. But I also have dried beans that I'll soak and throw into a pressure cooker. And, since I discovered Rancho Gordo last year--and "pot liquor"--I've been in love! I ordered several different kinds of beans as Christmas gifts this past winter!
I almost always use dried. Canned are easier but dried are more sustainable (less packaging, especially if you buy in bulk, and cheaper/easier to ship). Another important factor is the plastic lining on cans; most have BPA and can leech chemicals.
I always buy dried beans for economic reasons, and it's also nice to know that I won't be dealing with the risk of BPA.
Both: if I have the time and quality dried beans on hand, I'll go the dried route. If not, its canned all the way.
I'm from a country where our traditional staples are rice, beans, tortilla and cheese. You can be dirt poor, but you always had beans, tortilla and cheese to eat. I grew up with my parents only buying dry beans (we eat the small red beans kind) and boiling the whole bag at once. The pot (or rather in a container) is kept in the fridge and only the amount that will be eaten is cooked or used at a time.
I've had the canned kind for convenience, but they are way too salty. Besides, the great thing about boiling a pot of beans is that you can drink a cup of the bean water as a supplement. In my home country, anemics or those lacking in iron will have a cup of boiled bean water as supplement. It's tasty in the sasme way a traditional bean soup is.
I'm with clode et al about the BPA. I don't have easy access to stores that might sell canned BPA-free.
Also, I've been cooking dried beans a la Alice Waters' Art of Simple Food -- that is salting them AFTER cooking -- and they are so tender and delicious. I think the salt was toughening them although I have no scientific reasons to believe that (just experience with tough dried beans after long hours of cooking). I am trying to incorporate beans more in my diet. My fave way to cook them is to add to a big pot of (any kind of) greens with some olive oil & fresh herbs. YUM, the perfect lunch to take to work.
I've always used canned because I really didn't grow up eating beans. I've been very curious about home made beans, however, and this is encouraging. I had no idea they'd last so long in the fridge or could be frozen! The incentive to make a big batch now and then is now much higher.
Charlotte, were salting them during boiling? We always salt the beans during boiling when the beans begin to soften up.
can anyone recommend a good cookbook for bean recipes? thanks
Prefer to make (via the no-fail Parson's Method and yes, Rancho Gordo beans are completely and incomparably delicious!
But sometimes I resort to canned in a pinch and they're never as tasty. Even the cheapest bulk dried beans from the co-op yield a deeper, more complex dish than any canned bean I've ever used. Let alone the difference when you're putting some Rancho Gordos up against packed supermarket beans.
By the time I was old enough to remember, my mom always used canned beans for the convenience. I started using dried when I got married, but after more failed attempts than successes, I switched back to canned so that my husband wouldn't go hungry or order pizza. :-)
I'll have to try it again, especially because I still have dried beans in the cupboard. If I had a bigger freezer and got consistent results, I'd probably switch completely!
I use both like many of the posters before me: dried when I plan and canned for quick meals on the fly (I have 4 kids, so this really saves me, since we don't eat fast food/frozen, convenience foods).
But I was unaware of the BPA issue or the Rancho Gordo beans, so thanks, everyone! This will really influence my future meal planning & shopping!
canned. into a colander and rinsed to death.
Matthew and Molly just did a podcast about this! spilledmilkpodcast.com
I use canned mainly for one specific recipe, just for the portion size... 1 can black beans, 1 can garbanzos, 1 can corn (all drained). add a bit of olive oil & red wine vinegar & a inch of kosher salt if you desire. mix it up & either serve or refrigerate. the flavors marry up in the fridge, but it's still yummy at room temp :)
I mostly use canned because I like to have 5 or 6 varieties to choose from and it's not feasible for me to make the time and space to cook 6 lbs of beans.
If i'm making a batch of chili or black bean soup, then i'm more likely to cook the beans myself.
I use canned for the same reason as FelicityBoston - I want more than one variety available, but with only two in the house, we get so sick of beans if there are multiple homemade batches that need to be eaten.
Also, I know meal planning is important, but I'm too busy right now to spend excess time and energy making up (a) batches of beans and (b) creative recipes to put them in. Also, cooking beans for hours on the stove is a big pain when you have a curious kitten with no sense of self-preservation. I could try the oven method, but it's still wasting energy compared to opening a can and rinsing. Waste a can vs. waste energy, it seems to be a toss-up for me; at least the can is recyclable.
Both! I prefer homemade but my goal is just to get more of them IN my diet so in a pinch I use canned.
I have transitioned to only using dried beans over the last couple of years. I found a great natural food store that has a huge variety of organic dried beans at really low prices, and the quality is so much better than canned beans. I usually do one big batch a week, either in the crockpot or in a small stockpot in my large toaster oven. I keep the cooked beans in the fridge and use them in a variety of ways over the next week or two. I add to pasta dishes, puree to use as dip, sandwich spread, or pizza sauce, and make bean burgers. If I don't have any cooked beans on hand and need a quick dinner, I'll just cook lentils (cooking time is under 30 minutes and no soaking).
One thing I am very interested in learning more about is sprouting the beans before cooking...I've tried a few times with mixed results, and would love any tips on how to do this!
Canned. Dried beans are not exactly an impulse meal, and to work for one person, that person has to really like seeing the same beans meal after meal. I can barely stand leftovers for lunch the next day.
Just curious, how much does it cost to run the oven for 2 hours?
The best of both: I pressure can dried beans. This gives you the convenience of canned, the economy and selection of using dried, organically produced beans, plus NO salt and no taking up freezer space. I use 3/4 cup of dried beans per pint jar, soak the beans overnight, top up with hot water and process them at 10 lbs. pressure for 75 minutes. The beans cook while being canned. :-)
PS - and you don't need to worry about what chemicals were used in the lining of the commercial cans when you use your own glass canning jars. Although the lids of most conventional canning jars in the US still contain BPA, it's a much smaller surface than an entire can with interior coating.
Eden foods canned beans are BPA free.
One thing that no one has mentioned is the environmental impact of canned beans vs. dried. I do sometimes use the canned ones in a pinch, but think about the extra energy and waste that goes into producing, shipping, and then recycling all those cans. On the green scale, dried beans are the clear winner.
I'm a big Rancho Gordo fan (and, full disclosure, a friend of the founder). One thing I've learned is that dried beans on the shelf can be up to ten years old. The RG are much fresher, so even if you don't buy them, try to purchase your dried beans someplace with good turnover. Health food bulk sections are always a good option.
We bought a pressure cooker and switched entirely to dried beans when we became concerned about BPA exposure. With a pressure cooker you can even skip soaking overnight if you need beans in a pinch, though the end result is never quite as good.
In a pinch or for convenience, we will sometimes purchase Eden canned beans, but after cooking our own for some time canned just can't compare!
I also get the canned beans from Eden. Besides being bpa free, they also are never too salty because they don't use salt. The ingredient list is beans and kombu.
Honestly, most nights, canned beans can mean the difference between getting a meal on the table and getting takeout again.
Dried, definitely. With a pressure cooker. They take minutes, and they're cheaper, environmentally friendly, better for you.
That is a pretty good little chart about cooking/soaking times with a pressure cooker.

With the stroke of a paint pen made for pottery (we used a Pebeo-brand Porcelaine 150 with a bullet tip), kids can turn an ordinary mug into a useful keepsake for their teacher. For an even more robust thank-you, include a gift card to a coffee shop.
To make a guide for writing evenly, place a rubber band around the mug.
Working on a folded towel to keep the mug from slipping, use the paint pen to write a message, moving the rubber band as needed. (Tip: Keep a damp cotton swab handy to wipe away mistakes before they dry.) When you're finished, bake the mug according to the instructions on the pen package.
