Lmao It took me forever to notice I had an ask XD So not used to see that anymore…
I'm doing fine ~ Gosh so sorry I haven't been talk active on tumblr recently. LJ sucked me back :O
How are you? ♥~('▽^人)
I bet you're cursing me now that the show has gone off the rails XD I don't even know anymore myself.
I was just lucky to be working that day :) Maybe you'll be lucky too :D
Yes lol silly me, I could've fixed it sooner if I just googled it right away.
I know I am so evil. I was fully aware of how Supernatural ruins you and still I kept nagging you to see it XDD There is a special place for me in hell.
I think I fixed my asks now?!? Does it work?
OK real answer: What is all my fault? I can't remember what we talked about because I've been having trouble with asks, apparently it was missing e idek. D:
Uhm sorry it took a while I was getting food :)
First because it's a new way of telling the Arthurian legend. Instead of having Merlin older than Arthur they are the same age and that dynamic is really interesting. Also it opens up a new slash pairing to ship (the UST OMG) :) Even though I ship all the ships in Merlin especially Merlin/Morgana but omg I do that in every Arthurian story.
Fresh young actors you really like, what surprised me was how much I really liked Merlin. Somehow it's always hard for show-writers to not get people to be annoyed or dislike the main character. But Merlin is among my 3 favorites with Stiles and Castiel.
You are in for a lot of fun episodes that have you laugh, but also episodes that make you cry, both because of sadness and of happiness because everything is so beautiful omg.
The only thing which can be annoying is how it can be repetitive and predictable. But the ups clearly weigh more so gogo :D
I have to say The Labyrinth, because it's been my favorite since I was a kid. I have always loved that movie.
But I also kind of have so much love for a small group of movies I think I mentioned Repo! the Genetic Opera before, but I also want to point out that The Fifth Element is so freaking awesome I've always loved that movie it might be the closest after The Labyrinth, it might even win over Labyrinth if it didn't have so much nostalgic significance
Yes :)
Now don't go telling everyone you know…. but
Some years ago, I was still in High School but I had a lot of internet friends already back then because of hogwarts.nu which was a Swedish Harry Potter fansite. Anyway there was this girl who I was friends with who lived half across the country from me, but one evening when we were chatting she was like "Can you come over tomorrow we're kind of having a gathering in my town, you can sleep at my place"
And I just can't say no to adventure, and I am always so impulsive so I just bought a train ticket. Then I remembered it was a school night and that I should really get permission from my dad (who I was living with at the time) But I knew he wouldn't let me go, hell I wouldn't have let me go if I was a parent XD
So I just made up some excuse that I was going to study at a friends house and probably sleep over and I would see him the day after when I came home from school. And he was like sure ok XDD
So instead of going to school that day I called in sick and took the train half across the country, spent the day with an internet friend whom I hadn't even met irl before, we had loads of fun that day and we stayed up late goofing around and then I had to go home the day after D:
I got back to school just in time for the last period and pretended I just overslept XD
Then I got back home, told my dad the studying went great. Never told him the truth ahahahhaha
This is why I'm the worst daughter ever
What, an anon, yay :D
Uhm, that is hard. I don't want to be boring and answer my supposed all time favorite because there will always be that song.
But my current favorite which is right now something I'm grooving to is The Orion Experience - NYC Girl
I'll just wait here then :p
LMAO XD I've been spamming some people with random questions, I thought it could be your turn to get some :)

Severing the last ties of financial dependence
Weaning myself off student loans and my parents' financial support has been a drawn-out process. Sometime in the middle of college, my parents stopped paying my rent; soon after that I started paying for my textbooks; and the ultimate financial kiss-off came when I didn't get any money for my drive home at Thanksgiving.
But it wasn't until I graduated and started paying off my student loans that I felt that final big rip of that financial bandage. I had to radically reassess my finances and come to terms with reality.
Replacing the university support network
As a teaching assistant, I had been given health insurance through the university. Upon graduation, without a job lined up, I needed to find a new source of health care. Because I was under 26 years old, I was able to stay on my mother's health care plan as allowed by the new Affordable Care Act. This bought me enough time until I got a full-time job and was enrolled in my employer's health care plan.
New expenses
But most significantly, my student loan repayments have suddenly added a few hundred dollars to my monthly expenditures.
In order to compensate for these monthly drains on my income, I've been forced to change the way I live. For example, since I no longer scrounge around for cheap campus food twice a day, I go to the grocery store more and am learning how to cook.
Organizing my finances
I also got a credit card for the first time in a few years to help me better manage my money and take advantage of rewards. Because I pay my balance in full at the end of every month, I'm not accruing any interest and am able to pay for groceries and big purchases before I get my paycheck.
Back to reality
Though I'm by no means a frugal consumer or a financial wizard, I'm learning how to live within my means and at the same time keep a more vigilant eye on money management.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
W: A. Burnett (8-2)
L: D. Fister (1-4)
S: J. Hanrahan (18)
PITTSBURGH -- Brought over from the New York Yankees in the offseason, in part, to help transform a culture developed through 19 consecutive losing seasons, A.J. Burnett is doing plenty of winning for the Pittsburgh Pirates.Burnett pitched six shutout innings to win his seventh consecutive start, and the Pirates won for the fifth time in six games, 4-1 over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.Burnett (8-2) allowed two hits and three walks and struck out four to extend his streak of starts that resulted in victories to the longest for a Pirates pitcher in 38 years. Doc Ellis won eight consecutive outings in 1974."He relied a lot on his experience, a lot on his catcher and a lot on making pitches," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said of Burnett. "He got ahead in counts, they'd run it back to three balls then he'd find a way to get outs. He kept them from scoring, kept them from crossing the plate and you can't ask for more than that."Burnett followed James McDonald's complete-game victory Thursday, matching his career high by winning a seventh consecutive decision."It's nice because it means the team is winning," Burnett said, "but I wasn't thinking about it. I just went out there and tried to take the baton from J-Mac and carry it on."Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-4 to improve his batting average to .346 and Rod Barajas added two hits for the Pirates (37-32), who matched a season high by going five games over .500.Ramon Santiago had an RBI double for the Tigers, who had won four of five. Detroit missed a chance to move back to .500 for the first time since being 18-18 on May 15.The crowd of 37,965 was Pittsburgh's fifth sellout of the season. The city is beginning to warm to a team that has won 15 of its past 19 home games and began the day within two games of the first-place Cincinnati Reds in the NL Central.Detroit managed a mere three baserunners against Burnett over the first five innings but the first two batters of the sixth reached when Austin Jackson singled and Quintin Berry walked.Slugger Miguel Cabrera worked Burnett into a full count but grounded into a double play on the eighth pitch of the at-bat.Burnett improved to 5-0 at home this season, allowing six earned runs in 48 2/3 innings at PNC Park (1.11 ERA).He had losing records pitching for playoff teams in New York the past two seasons but is on pace to threaten the career-high 18 victories he had for Toronto in 2008, when Barajas was his catcher."It's good to be able to work with him again," Barajas said. "We had a great relationship in Toronto and he's back to pitching the way he did there."Pittsburgh has won 10 of its past 12 games against AL teams, allowing an average of less than three runs over that time.Tony Watson struck out Jackson to end the seventh, Jason Grilli worked a perfect eighth and Joel Hanrahan had two strikeouts in retiring the side in the ninth for his 18th save in 20 opportunities.The first three Pirates had hits against Tigers starter Doug Fister. Neil Walker followed Alex Presley's leadoff double with an RBI single, and Walker scored when Garrett Jones grounded into a double play.The Pirates added two unearned runs in the second when Detroit mangled fielding Burnett's sacrifice bunt attempt.Pedro Alvarez and Barajas led off the inning with consecutive singles. With one out, Burnett -- who broke an orbital bone during a bunting competition in spring training -- laid down an attempted sacrifice.Fister fielded the ball and tried for the lead runner at third. His throw sailed into left field, where Delmon Young couldn't handle it cleanly. Two errors were charged on the play in which two Pittsburgh runs were scored."We probably turned what would have been a third-to-first double play into two runs, which was obviously a no-no for us," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "And we couldn't overcome it. We didn't swing the bats very well, and of course Burnett was good."Detroit scored in the seventh when Jhonny Peralta and Santiago hit consecutive doubles off reliever Jared Hughes.The run allowed the Tigers to extend their club record streak of not being shut out to 138 games.Coming off his first win of the season, Fister (1-4) was charged with two earned runs, eight hits and a walk in six innings. He had seven strikeouts."He was struggling a little early," Leyland said. "He left a couple pitches with two strikes up in some hittable spots. He wasn't real sharp early, but he settled in and pitched well."
Game notes
According to STATS LLC, Giants RHP Matt Cain is the only other pitcher in the majors this season to win at least seven straight starts. Cain has a current streak of eight wins in as many outings. ... Burnett won seven consecutive decisions July 19-Aug. 19, 2005, as a member of the Florida Marlins. ... Leyland said RHP Jose Valverde (wrist) was feeling "much better" Friday but that the closer still was not 100 percent. Valverde, who has not pitched since June 15, was to play catch Saturday. ... RHP Max Scherzer starts for the Tigers on Saturday against RHP Brad Lincoln. Scherzer had 15 strikeouts in a 4-3 win against Pittsburgh May 20.

One of several resorts on Kauai's Poipu Beach, the 394-room Sheraton Kauai offers solid, if not spectacular, amenities -- a fitness center, five restaurants including Lava's and Rumfire, a spa, and a long stretch of oceanfront -- at attractive rates. Its small pools aren't quite as nice as those at pricier resorts but keep in mind that the hotel has undergone a $16 million "Revitalization"; expect positive changes at the beach pool, restaurants, bars, etc.

I can relate to this
I can relate to this
abortion is murder, and " a death sentence for the unborn" and the born
Pope Francis
Babies struggle to get away from the abortionist's implements of death. Their arms and legs are torn from their bodies and placed on a tray. Then the doctor wraps his forceps around the baby's skull and crushes his head. The baby is put piece-by-piece into a tray to make sure that the abortionist hasn't missed any parts. This is barbaric. It empowers nobody. Choose ADOPTION.

Heirloom Hurrah & Kale "Carbonara"
I came up with this recipe while out at Vicki's Veggies on Labour Day weekend for the annual Heirloom Hurrah. Every year on the last long weekend of the summer, people flock from all over Ontario to sample the goods at this annual tasting of the tomatoes. It started many years ago when Vicki realized that she had too many tomatoes left at the end of the season, so decided to invite people out to taste all of the great varieties that she grows.
Imagine being able to taste almost 200 varieties of tomatoes at one time? Amazing! This has turned into quite the extravaganza, with many vendors selling local products, and this year with the addition of a pizza oven that her partner Tim picked up. I as on pizza duty, and hat a great time it was! Even made some breakfast pizzas for the crew on Sunday morning. We were also selling Vicki's famous bread salad, which was a big hit. What an amazing weekend, spent in one of my favourite places.
We went for a swim at Little Bluff on Saturday night, which is about a 10 minute drive from the farm. A gorgeous rock beach, with nary a soul to be seen. Clear and warm waters of Lake Ontario, friends, swimming, and maybe a few beers were consumed, before we all realized that we were starving and that the sun was going down. Tim and I are great to play off one another when planning meals, so I came up with this great idea for a quick meal. Kale "carbonara". I put it in quotes, as a traditional carbonara is made with egg and cheese as the binder for the sauce, but here is the cheat of this classic, using butter and cream.
Kale Carbonara
Use your judgment on amounts, this isn't the kind of thing that you need to measure, it will be tasty regardless of the amounts.
Sweet peppers
Hot pepper
S&P to taste
Nutmeg (optional) – I didn't use this, but think it will work.
Pasta (optional)
- Chop the bacon, and render it until crispy on medium high heat.
- While the bacon is cooking, blanch the kale for a few minutes. Drain and set aside.
- When the bacon is ready, remove and set aside.
- Add chopped garlic, and a few sweet and hot peppers to the bacon fat, sauté until soft.
- Add the kale, and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add a good sized knob of butter, about half a stick to a stick depending on how much kale you are cooking. Then add the cream, and stir until you have a thick consistency.
- Season, and serve immediately.
- If you want to make this a meal, you can add some cooked pasta to make it more hearty, or serve as a side.

Here's a disturbing update on the 911 Reservations story:
I got an email from Louise Maurice, who purchased a Valentine's Day reservation at Repast restaurant from 911 Reservations for $40. That amount was charged to her credit card through the service's PayPal account.
I also spoke to Repast's owner, Joe Truex, who said that he spoke on the phone to a man who tried to reconfirm the reservation and expressly told him that it would not be honored.
When I spoke with Gwinnett County district attorney Danny Porter about the legality of this service, he said it was fine as long as the administrators didn't sell a reservation they knew wouldn't be honored.
That begs the question: Does this sound like a case of theft by deception, pure and simple?
(UPDATE: At 4:25 p.m., Maurice received an email from 911 Reservations with a refund.)
(Full disclosure: I do know both Maurice and Truex socially.)
February 12th, 2010
4:16 pm
Yes. But all 911 would have to do is refund the money.
February 12th, 2010
5:44 pm
If I were Joe Truex I would contact Louise Maurice and have them at my restaurant on Valentines. She thought she was participating in a legal venture like premium tickets. I do understand him not accepting a reservation from the 911 dude, but it was a good idea, but not properly executed. If I were the 911 dude I would get busy with the refunds or expect to be prosecuted soon. Guarantee he is not sleeping well tonight.

Is this really that different than a concierge at a fancy hotel saving reservations for big wig guests. Try calling many New York restaurants the moment the lines open and I bet all they will have is 5 and 10 o'clock reservations. Just a thought.
February 12th, 2010
6:45 pm
If I were Joe Truex I would certainly tell Louise Maurice that she's welcome in my restaurant at any time, but I'd also encourage her to prosecute. If there is any legal means to nab the people behind this, then it would be a good idea to take it to court to send a powerful message to anyone else out there who thinks that this would be "a great business idea." We don't need this to happen so often that all restaurants will not only have to take credit cards, but pre-charge the estimated cost of your meal on them, just to make sure they don't lose money. Let's not make dining out that unpleasant.
February 12th, 2010
7:13 pm
Very different from the treatment that concierges get, for a long list of reasons:
1) Concierges don't actually "set aside" reservations for hotel guests. They call the restaurant and ask if anything is available, and if the restaurant has a relationship with that concierge, they try to accommodate in exchange for having extra business thrown their way by the hotel.
2) Concierges usually send business over from business travelers who are staying in town on a weeknight, when some of these nicer restaurants are likely to have tables open. It's rare to get a call from a concierge on weekend nights trying to squeeze someone in.
3) I've never even heard of a concierge trying to get a guest into a nice, upscale, highly regarded restaurant on Valentine's day, because they know that all of those restaurants are booked a month in advance. Sometimes they might direct you to one of the lesser restaurants that they know will not be booked (because they're not very good) if you're really desperate.
4) Those New York restaurants that tell you that they're booked? They're actually booked. Restaurants don't turn down people for secret, nefarious reasons like saving a table for a potential guest from a concierge. If they had a table, they'd give it to you, because it's in their best interest to do so.
Really, this conversation gets more ridiculous as time wears on.

Repast is not a huge restaurant so I can understand them not honoring the reservation. It's not just the 911reservations.com people who are trying to pull a fast one, but also the people who are willing to send them money, and then lie in the faces of Maitre D's and managers, saying they are someone they are not, just to get a table. I don't see them as victims here as much as all the people who were willing to get on the Wait List, but wouldn't have gotten in because these guys had clogged up the pipeline with their phony spots. And do you think they would have done these places the courtesy of a phone call if they didn't sell them? Doubtful…
February 14th, 2010
9:57 am
I have my reservations about 911 Reservations! Think I will pass on this company.
February 15th, 2010
3:39 pm
Repast is awful anyway. Better that the person didn't get in.
February 16th, 2010
3:43 pm
Now that St Valentine day has past, so will Repast.
In the future if you want a reservation in the best restaurants in Atlanta, or Boca Raton FL. call me at 404-262-2675 at Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, and will for sure find you acommodations in one of our famous and world acclaimed restaurants.
February 16th, 2010
4:01 pm
My Apologies to Repast; I meant 911 Reservations will be a thing of the past on my last comment.

Rahil Habib, from Nottingham, decided to come to Care Training after talking to his Jobcentre Plus adviser. He recognised it was a good opportunity to fill the gap in his CV while he was waiting to go to university.
After six months of being unemployed, he was referred to Central Skills for security pre-employment training. Nevertheless, at his pre-talk at Care Training he decided security wasn't the career he wanted to pursue.
Rahil was able to find out about alternative vocational training available at Care Training and Central Skills. He felt Work Focused Training for Business Administration was more suitable for his career and long-term goals of going to university and training to be a teacher.
Whilst Rahil was attending Care Training he updated his administration skills such as Taking Minutes at Meetings, Computer Skills and the Data Protection Act.
Rahil heard about the Future Jobs Fund jobs available at the Community Learning Network and sent his application. He was successful and started there in April 2010. He will be completing business administration activities and designing leaflets.
A few weeks ago he and his colleagues organised an Easter Event for local 5–11 year olds. It involved organising a series of games and activities to keep the young ones entertained over the holidays. "It was an enjoyable day with lots of people attending," said Rahil.
Rahil would "definitely recommend Care Training. They offer a wide range of skills and training."

Utahns were unsure about the economy in July, and they don't feel much more certain this month, Zions Bank said Tuesday.
The bank's Consumer Attitude Index increased a "negligible" 0.3 points, to 76.9 from 76.6 July, suggesting that consumer attitudes toward the economy have been "neutralized" by" negative noise" emanating from the presidential campaigns that is drowning out "positive data about the economy," said Randy Shumway, CEO of The Cicero Group/Dan Jones and Associates, which constructs the monthly confidence measure for Zions.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Uncertainty is widespread. Like the Zions index, the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index is showing that Americans are feeling worse about the economy than they have in a long time.
On Tuesday, the New York-based board said its gauge fell to 60.6, down from a revised 65.4 in July, confounding economists who had expected a reading of 66. Like the Utah index, the barometer of U.S. consumer attitudes is at its lowest point since November 2011, when the reading was at 55.2. Nine months ago, the Utah index was 67.7.
"Consumers were more apprehensive about business and employment prospects," said Lynn Franco, the Conference Board's director of economic indicators, said in a statement.
Both indexes are based on surveys conducted in the first two weeks of August, with about 500 randomly selected people nationwide and in Utah.
"I think people are unsure," Shumway said. "I think people feel like they are getting their sea legs underneath them, but their confidence has not completely returned. ... Their confidence has been neutralized."
The Conference Board and Zions indexes are watched because consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity in the country. Both gauges of confidence have remained below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy. The national number hasn't been near that level since the Great Recession began in December 2007. Zions launched its index in January 2011. That month's reading was 76.2, not much different from the soft August number.
Although pessimism is mounting, the level of faith in the economy is considerably higher in Utah than elsewhere in the country. Zions said expectations about the economy six months from now increased a half-point, to 89.6. Although the number was up, it didn't match February's reading — a 16-month high — and Zions said consumer attitudes about the future have soured over the past six months.
"Economic and political uncertainty has defined the second and third quarters of 2012. Until there is more clarity around national economic policy, local consumers are unlikely to abandon their apprehension about the future," the bank said in a statement.
There was enough difference between the national and Utah confidence numbers to support rising sales at Caputo's Gourmet Market and Deli, a specialty food products retailer in downtown Salt Lake City, marketing director Matt Caputo said. Instead of choosing a low-priced type of prosciutto, for example, a growing number of customers are splurging on high-end varieties. The same goes for Caputo's cheeses and chocolates.
"People are certainly getting back into treating themselves even more than they did three months ago," Caputo said, adding that sales of specialty foods are on track to rise as much as 15 percent this year over 2011.
"It definitely feels like the worst is behind us and people aren't as paralyzed as they used to be," Caputo said.

Should I Throw Away My Scratched Nonstick Pan?
Product & Shopping Questions
Q: My cheap immersion blender warped in some hot soup, and the blades cut the nonstick Teflon coating on the bottom of my pot. I remember reading that Teflon isn't really the best thing health-wise. Should I throw out my pot?
Sent by Nossi
Editor: Two things happen once nonstick coating develops scratches. One is that little bits of the coating can start to flake off into your food as you cook and the other is that the pan becomes less nonstick. My feeling is that it's best to let this pan go and replace it with a new one.
Readers, do you agree?

(Image: Sur la Table )
22 Comments
Yes, replace it! I would look for pots/pans with ceramic coating instead of Teflon. They are much easier to deal with; endures steel utensils and more heat. My personal favorite is Scanpan's CTX line. Dreamy.
I scratched mine years ago and still use them. I just tell my kids those black flakes are pepper. Added bonus: I never need to buy halloween costumes for my kids.
On a related note, does anyone have ideas for recycling or re-purposing old Teflon pans? I have a large saute pan that is scratched, but maybe it could find a new home where it won't be exposed to food?
This would be a question for the Public Health department, not a blog. But if you want an unscientific opinion, many people say they're dangerous and to be honest we don't miss ours at all. I use a "sticky" stainless steel frying pan and I want to get cast iron. Not that stainless is necessarily safer, but I don't think you're supposed to use that stuff when it's scratched.
@Elise890 call your local recycling facility or Whole Foods. They might have ideas.
Teflon is incredibly inert and it's unlikely that any ingested flakes would be absorbed into the body. It cannot be dissolved by boiling acid, acetone, sodium hydroxide, or pure alcohol. It's so inert that one of the early uses for it was to line pipes in the Manhattan Project because it was the only thing that was really resistant to the uranium hexafluoride.
I am much more concerned about the exposed aluminum in the scratched pans because there are possible links to health problems and the aluminum is dissolved by acidic foods.
A search of the US National Library of Medicine found 12 articles on adverse effects of Teflon since 1966. Five were about birds: cage birds are _very_ sensitive to Teflon off-gasses. If you have a parakeet, don't over-heat Teflon! Three of them were ... over-anxious ... reports from sources such as Time Magazine. Two of them were about one case of a pan that burned for four hours while a 30-year-old man slept in the same room; he was sick for two days. The other articles were also about burned pans, mostly back in the 1970's. The technical name for the problem is "polymer fume fever." The major cause of PFF is breathing contaminated hair spray or cigarette smoke - not Teflon.
So - Do not let any Teflon pan burn, or even get above 550degF - the temperature at which onions turn to black crispy bits. In general, even scratched Teflon is not a problem.
Polymer fume fever
@ Katlian, I agree. Anyway, I think they use Teflon to coat catheters too and there have been studies about using it on stents.
M_J_S is also right about Teflon fumes killing birds. I think the recommended temperature to use it is 200C or 392F (at which point Teflon starts breaking down). By the way, your pan should even be that hot since many oils start breaking down at around this temperature. (Some lower, like butter at 121-149C, and some higher, like refined sunflower oil at 227C)
I was under the impression that it was discovered that Teflon was toxic? That's why you don't see it as much anymore (as in, they're phasing it out). I recently bought a ceramic pan...love it. I use hardly any oil, get a great crust and it cleans out super easy. When I really want to brown something (stew or braise) I'll get out my grandma's old heavy-bottomed stainless pan. Nothing works better. I do have a nice deep (also heavy-bottomed) stock pot if I'm making a big batch of stew or jambalya. Other than cast iron there isn't much better than stainless for that. In my experience, so far, at least.
98% of the pans at goodwill are crappy scratched Teflon for good reason.
Get rid of it. Buy cast iron, stainless, or enamel.
Oh dear, all my nonstick pans are scratched as my boyfriend uses metal utensils on them and scrubs them with a hard bristle brush.
Yeah, best to get rid of it. Plus, the non-covered bits are going to be extremely prone to rust, depending on what the base metal is.
I need to get around to chucking these...
@ IndyCote, I believe any toxicity associated with Teflon not being as available on the market has to do with manufacturing processes, not the product itself. (I think I saw a segment on America's Test Kitchen to that effect, but I don't have time to verify right now)
I'd toss them! Before rushing out to buy a new $50 non-stick pan, I'd give cast iron a try. I haven't yet mastered making eggs on one yet but my grandmother did it so I know it can be done!
Definitely chuck it out and go the Cast Iron, you can season it and it will better than any non stick pan. I am currently waiting to take delivery of one for my birthday, I figured seeing as everyone is coveting my Grandma's cast iron pan I'd better get my own. So here is a lesson on how to season it and never ever wash it in soapy water :D http://www.burgermary.com/2012/04/how-to-season-cast-iron-like-a-boss/
Why is stainless steel not that safe? wahhhhh.I thought I 'was doing good'...throw that old ratty pan out..by the way..if you have a Homegoods or TJMaxx near you, they have great deals on good stainless if you are 'bargain hunting'..I do have a good old cast iron, but the stainless are easier for me to clean..quickly..
Fine Cooking had a great article about the science of nonstick cooking last month: http://www.finecooking.com/articles/the-science-of-nonstick-cookware.aspx
I was once told by a guy at a Sur la Table type place that you can eat Teflon all day long, it's the adhesive used to adhere the Teflon to the pan that is potentially toxic.
cast iron is amazing, and you can get it really cheap. it doesn't have to be brand name cast iron (though the enameled pots are FANTASTIC) - you can just pick up a plain iron skillet from most hardware stores.
bonus points for getting one with a cast iron handle as well (i.e. not wood or plastic) as you can then make the best omelettes in the entire world (finish them under the grill covered in cheese).
I use stainless steel and enamel cast iron (Le Creuset) and they are great. I'd toss those scratched up pans.... after all, if they're scratched the non-stick function is going to be lost.

Our Second Misconception
8 comments:
Dear Candace & Chris,ReplyDelete
I am so sorry for you guys that it didn't work out. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you'll find the strength to scrape up the bits of energy left and find your path to your little family.
I know you know this, but just wanted to say, you've done nothing wrong and everything right, it is not your fault. On top of this, you've inspired so many other people & couples in similar situations, me included.
I hope you get that positive outlook back soon, because you are both fantastic!
I am so sorry. My heart aches for you this morning. This road we have been sent down is so hard and it is totally not fair! Yet, we always find a way to get back up and keep fighting for our dream. We closed the treatment chapter in the summer and grieved. Then in the fall we entered into adoption to keep fighting for the family we insist we WILL have. Take your time to grieve and do all those "irresponsible" things you mentioned. I wish you both the best and pray your pain eases quickly. Sending tons of hugs and caring thoughts to you both.ReplyDelete
Fuck infertility. Im sorry guys. I wish there was something poignant to say, but nothing will change what you are going throughor make it magically all better. Id say you are doing exactly what Id do as well. Eat too much, drink too much, shop too much, be pissed at the world...take as much time as you need to do that. Wish I could split a pitcher of beer with you myself, and a big greasy drippy burger. XOXO Youll be in my thoughts as always.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 18, 2013 at 4:27 AM
I don't know you but I just cried reading this. Please be crazy and eat loads of pizza and have lots of late nights. You guys are going through more than most people will ever experience or understand.ReplyDelete
So much love to you both xx
- AnonymousJanuary 23, 2013 at 9:15 AM
I am so sorry. I started crying when reading Chris's part. You two are strong. Do not give up on your dream. Be there for each other and continue on.ReplyDelete
I hear your hearts cry on this one. Coming to terms with infertility is hard and you just don't make it through without a few bumps and bruises. Thankfully you know what to do with those. Try to stay encouraged and believe God for the best possible outcome for your life - whatever that may be. I naturally conceived my only bio child after 14 years of infertility at the age of 44. By then I had already made decisions about my life that would make me a mama. Whatever you decide, whether its to resume some form of treatment or explore other paths to parenthood, know that you aren't alone. You've got a whole team of cyber friends rooting for you every step of the way. hugs and strength as you soldier on! will follow you on twitter #fertilitywarrior LishaReplyDelete
Hey..just checking in. Miss you guys on the blogs...hope youre adding to your collection of funny beer bottle names(emptying them of course first) , and enjoying each others company. Thinking of you both.ReplyDelete
Wow is all i can say. This is such an unfair road we have all been sent down and i am so glad that Candace put it all out there! Exactly the way i feel everytime i see the news, a pregnant teen, or someone like the Duggar woman! So unfair! Keep the faith and lean on each other. Sending prayers and good thoughts your way!ReplyDelete

Expertise is Like Cocaine
What kind of information are you giving people in a business setting, and how are you delivering it? I have a reputation for complete candor (deserved), deep and thought-provoking content (deserved), and a less-than-engaging conversation style of delivery (deserved). I speak 30-35x/year, and if the event happens to give audience members feedback forms to complete, on a scale of 1 to 5, I typically get a 4.9 on content and somewhere around 4.0 on delivery.
I only use PowerPoint or Keynote when the audience is too large logistically to provide handouts (200?). I much prefer handouts, because I hate last minute technical problems, I'd rather look people in the eyes the entire time, I want them to write, and I want them to take something home. For larger audience (200-3,000 typically), I just include a URL on the last slide so that a PDF can be downloaded for their later use. I tell them that in advance so that they can relax, listen, and not bother with too many notes.
I'm an intense introvert. I'm so far off the scale in that direction that I jokingly call it "unabomber land." That just means I like to be by myself to recharge. I can be with crowds, large and small, in little doses and no one would know I'm "acting the part." Oddly enough, speaking totally invigorates me, too, which may not fit in your mind with the idea of a deep introvert.
Do you know when I began to love speaking? Yeah, I've had the speaker training and lots of experience, but it wasn't that. The flip occurred when I knew what the hell I was talking about. Stated differently, the antidote to your fear of public speaking is simply deep expertise in whatever the subject.
I mean, that, too. Have you tasted expertise in a particular area of your life? Of course. And it feels amazing. So amazing that you never want to step out of the circle again.
But many of you keep stepping outside that circle by spreading your time across all sorts of industries or horizontal categories. I'm old enough to be giving most of you advice, so here it is: eliminate many of your goals, and deepen the ones you have left.
I've never tried cocaine, though now I wish I had when I was in Peru last year, but knowing what you are talking about in front of a crowd is a high that I can't imagine cocaine would match. You have real people, with real issues, and you are giving them real solutions that will change their lives. Not all of them, but maybe a dozen. I don't care. It's good work.
I had the privilege of addressing a graduating MBA class at Harvard a couple of months ago. Without me asking, an attendee sent me this feedback by email afterwards:
How do you think I felt after getting that email? Start speaking.
Jeff Dolan
David C. Baker
I didn't come to live to the US until I was 18 or so. So I missed the beginning of a lot of the drug culture. Believe it or not, I've never had ANY illegal drug, including cocaine. I'm not proud of that in the sense that I'm some saint--it just didn't happen in my circles. In fact, I wish they'd legalize marijuana.
I have seen the OTHER side fo the drug culture, though, and it's too ugly for me to verbalize without breaking down. I just took a week-long photojournalism trip through NW Mexico (the area the Sinaloa Cartel holds). I interviewed lots of local policemen and Federales. They are always nervous when I approach, but as soon as I start speaking in Spanish, they relax and are surprisingly candid. I was working with a client in Mexico and just took advantage of the extra time there.
When I owned my own firm for six years, it was poorly positioned and as a result it was always a struggle, like many of you face. I didn't realize at the time WHY I was struggling, but it's so clear in hindsight. So when I began consulting 19 years ago, I went all over the country talking about specialization, which no one was talking about back then. People thought I was nuts, ignorant, and simplistic. Now the better firms have followed the advice and it's made a lot of people happier and richer. And more comfortable speaking.
By the way, there are some other great consultants (competitors of mine) that feel exactly the way I do: Blair Enns, Tim Williams, Ilise Benun, etc.
It's still hard for me to fathom that at least 60% of firms are not, though, for lack of courage or knowledge. They are the ones that will be shoved to the bottom into a transactional, price-driven environment when the middle class of marketing firms disappears completely (in 4-5 years).

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I got great feedback from all the ladies I sent the invitation to. Wedding paper divas was willing to work with me on multiple edits, including increasing my delivery time. I did not have to wait on hold or wait for emails. The company was very prompt and helpful!"
"I haven't sent the invite out yet but I know my best friend will be thrilled with it for her shower!! Excellent quality, heavy cardstock & very quick shipping! Thank you!"
"From the get-go, this process was made easy. With a viewing pane, I could adjust the text, font, etc. to see what the invite would ultimately look like. The designer review process was turned around quickly and seamlessly, and within one day, I had a ready-for-print proof. Even more impressively, however, was the customer service. When I called in letting WPD know that my order had been stolen from my apartment doorstep, they immediately ordered a reprint and expedited shipping, free of charge. Truly blown away by their level of commitment to their customers, and very grateful to minimize stress in that area of the bridal shower planning process. When the invites arrived, I was even more pleasantly surprised. The price for these is completely reasonable given both the print and paper quality that you receive. I give 5 stars to the invites, the designers, the customer service, and the process as a whole."
"Personalizing the invites was easy on your site; the designer review was excellent; once I confirmed that the cards were correct, they arrived before the expected delivery date!"
"The quality of the paper, the clarity of the image I used resulted in a perfect bridal shower invitation. The excellent help and assistance from the Design Team in providing multiple color choices made choosing the right color scheme very easy. They provided proofs of each color we were considering, made all adjustments we needed. Great help and great invitation. FAST service and delivery!!!"

Cuban right hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez has drawn plenty of interest on the open market since getting cleared by the U.S. government to seek employment. On Friday, Yahoo! Sports Jeff Passan broke the story that the Philadelphia Phillies had reached an agreement to sign the free agent.
The Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez agreed Friday night on a six-year deal that could be worth up to $59 million, the richest contract ever for an international player, a club source told Yahoo! Sports.
The deal is worth a guaranteed $48 million over six years with a seventh-year vesting option for $11 million, the source said.
While Jon Heyman and Scott Miller of CBS Sports have the financials closer to $50 million, there is confirmation that Gonzalez is joining the Phillies. His contract was not bound by the International Bonus Pool created by the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement, as Gonzalez is 26 years old and has played professionally in Cuba for several years. By rule, any Cuban with more than three seasons of pro experience and who is at least 23 years of age is not subject to international signing regulations.
Gonzalez features a mid-90s fastball and is said to throw a variety of off-speed pitches from varying arm slots, much in the way countryman Orlando Hernandez did during his playing days. Though he has had success on the international stage, Gonzalez has missed considerable time over the past few seasons as punishment for failed attempts to flee the island nation.
Finally successful earlier in the year, Gonzalez took up residence in Tijuana where he impressed scouts with his arsenal.
It is expected that Gonzalez will begin his Major League career at some point next month. The Phillies figure to send his to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to get his feet wet, but those who have seen him pitch think Gonzalez can contribute to a big league rotation right away.
While this signing signals that the Phillies are still trying to win now, this move could also spell the end for left hander Cliff Lee, who has drawn significant interest in the trade market. The Phillies are a big budget club, but Gonzalez's contract added to the money already on the books could make off-season maneuvering difficult. Dealing Lee would clear better than $20 million per year from their payroll while re-stocking the thinned minor league system at the same time.

Every time I talk with a new buyer we always talk about loan options. There aren't as many loan options as there once were, but there are still several options. The majority of my clients are opting for a FHA loan. I want to touch on home loans and the differences between them. The first thing to know about is something called mortgage insurance. This is an insurance that lenders require to be added onto the loan in order to insure the lender in case of mortgage default on the loan. The lender requires this mortgage insurance, also sometimes referred to as PMI or MIP, on every loan that does not have at least a 20% down payment. On a home loan of $100,000 the mortgage insurance can range from $50-$100 per month, depending on what type of loan you have and your credit score.
The most popular loan for my clients is FHA. The FHA loan only requires 3.5% down and that is why most of my clients like this loan. There is a fee tacked onto the loan amount in order to make the mortgage insurance lower each month than a conventional loan. FHA loans are a little picky about the condition of the house they'll loan on. If the house is in bad shape, has chipping paint, ripped up carpet, has a roof at the end of its life span, or other obvious defects, then the house probably won't pass an FHA appraisal. One nice thing about FHA loans is that a buyer can have a parent as a co-signer or help with down payment and still get a great interest rate. FHA is also easy to qualify for because their credit score requirements aren't as high/strict as conventional loans. For houses that need rehab, there is an FHA loan called a 203K loan. It has more steps and is a bigger process, but it also allows a buyer to purchase and rehab a house that needs work, for only 3.5% down.
Another common mortgage loan is a conventional loan. This is the best type of loan to use if you have 15-20% down payment. The minimum down payment for this type of loan is 5%. Mortgage insurance for this loan is higher each month than with FHA and the loan is a little more difficult to qualify for than FHA. Remember, if you have 20% down payment there is no mortgage insurance for a conventional loan. This type of loan allows some flaws with the house in question. Chipping paint is usually just fine as well as multiple other defects.
VA is another loan that only military veterans can qualify for. This is a great loan because it requires $0 down and no mortgage insurance fee. If a person is a veteran, this is the way to go.
There is also a loan called Rural Development. Rural Development is terrific because it requires $0 down and also has low to no mortgage insurance. Such a great deal, but only works in a town of less than 20,000. There are also limited amounts of money to support this loan, so sometimes it is available and sometimes it isn't.
Lastly, there is a program called Homepath. Homepath mortgages can only be done on a Homepath approved property. These will always be foreclosures. Homepath requires 3% down payment, no mortgage insurance, but the rates tend to be a little bit higher than any of the other loan types. Homepath can be great for properties that aren't in the best of condition because they do not require an appraisal.

Who are the most powerful cartels, what are the risks of using the military to confront them, and how much progress has Mexico made so far?
Marco Ugarte/AP
Mexico City
Who are the main players?
The Gulf Cartel, whose territory, along with that of Los Zetas (see below), extends from the US border to the Yucatán Peninsula, was until recently Mexico's most powerful drug-trafficking organization. But government pressure, particularly over the past two years, has weakened it. The former leader, Osiel Cardenas Guillen, was arrested in 2003 and extradited to the United States in 2007. The group is headquartered in the northern state of Tamaulipas, where it has long smuggled drugs into Texas, employing Los Zetas as its ruthless, private army. Along with the Sinaloa, Beltran Leyva, and Zetas groups, it is a main player in the cocaine trade.
Los Zetas grew out of the military special forces deserters that Gulf Cartel leader Mr. Guillen recruited in the 1990s as his private security detail. They eventually became the paramilitary arm of the group, then split off in late 2007 or early 2008. The relationship between Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel is unclear today, since the two are believed to still work together in an organization referred to as "The Company." The group, led by Heriberto Lazcano, is organized as a formal drug-trafficking organization, but Los Zetas also subcontracts work to other cartels. New members are recruited from federal and local law enforcement agencies, as well as Mexican and Guatemalan special forces. Los Zetas are increasingly suspected of involvement in kidnapping, extortion, and immigrant smuggling.

I was looking for a chandelier that had the WOW factor. A conversation piece. This glass drop chandelier fit the bill. Other reviewers of similar lighting were correct. This light is a two - three hour project to install. And well worth it. Only one of the glass crystals were cracked. I email the manufacturer directly and they responded quickly. They mailed extra crystals in the event of breakage. Be warned that when contacting the manufacturer, you will deal with a representative in China. All that a side, this was the perfect lighting!
After looking on multiple websites, we stumbled across this chandelier on Overstock. It is very similiar to another chandelier at another company that has 4 lights instead of the three, and costs about 7 times the amount. We took a gamble on this light and are so glad we did. The light looks beautiful and elegant. I was a little worried over have a crystal chandelier, but the style and look of the crystals combine to form an elegant, modern, yet traditional look. The picture on the website is pretty much what you get. As far as assembly, it really was not hard at all, just maybe a little tedious as you need to hang the crystals individually. We really did not have any issues with the crystals, as some other reviewers have encountered, and do not need to ask for any replacements. After reading some of the other reviews about the brightness of the light, I bought and installed a dimmer, and really like having this option. The light is bright when three 60W bulbs are installed (I was worried, it being only three lights, it would not be bright enough - no worries there!). The only draw back to this chandelier that I have noticed, is that the crystals tend to reflect the light, and if I look directly at the chandelier at light level, it can be a bit bright. I may try different light bulbs to see if this makes any difference. Overall, this was an excellent buy and both my wife and I are very happy with this purchase and with our overall Overstock purchase experience. If you are looking for a traditional, elegant chandelier, look no further! We plan on also upgrading a chandelier in our living room, and likely will make Overstock our first stop!
Very bright, looks great. Couple of pieces arrived broken, 2 more broke when putting it together, go slow and try to tighten wire as you go. 4 pieces arrived in a week or so. Everyone comments on how good it looks - (partially because it replaced a ceiling fan over kitchen table that looked bad). We have not yet found something we like for the dining room but hope we find something that we like as much as this in kitchen. We first used 60 watt bulbs but they were near blinding - the glass pieces seem to magnify the light. We used clear traditional incandescent (non energy efficient) bulbs.
was disappointed with the metal part. thought it looked cheap. not what I was looking for unfortunately had to return it
This did take a lengthy amount of time to assemble but was easy to do so. The only thing I was disapointed in was the size as it was way to small for my dining room. I ended up using it over my kitchen table and it looks great but keep in mind that it is hard to get it to hang correctly over the table as it want so twist around.
Great light, beautiful crystals, packed well and sent very fast.
Got the light to hang over my dining room table wish it was a little longer.
Loved it but returned it for matte silver look instead. This is antique gold with black. Pretty just didn't match my decor
I bought this expecting for it to be silver, the electricians hung it in my new house before I could tell them not to so it's staying up. The metal is brown. Not a pretty antiqued of oil rubbed brown. Just brown. I expected it to be silver like the photo. Besides that it's pretty
As others say, assembly of all the crystals is a bit of a pain, but it is well worth the effort given the price point and the wonderful end result. It's been a lovely addition to our dining room. They give you a few extra crystals in case you accidentally break one.
