Forgotten Laughter: The Fred Allen Story
The dour radio comedian regarded his work as totally ephemeral, but a new generation of comics has built upon his foundations
February 1988 | Volume 39, Issue 1
Allen felt that radio comedy probably was doomed even without the advent of TV. "The audience and the medium were both getting tired. The same programs, the same comedians, the same commercials—even the sameness was starting to look the same," he wrote. But he also was bitter about the rise of television, which he considered nothing more than recycled vaudeville. He was particularly scornful of the popularity of Milton Berle, whose show was so successful that he was called "Mr. Television." Allen correctly predicted that Berle's TV reign would be brief. "You can go only so long when you get your laughs by running in front of the audience wearing a pair of lady's drawers," he told a Life interviewer. He himself made a few tentative stabs at television, but he was uncomfortable with the medium. He was nervous about appearing without a script in his hand and he didn't like "all those technicians wandering back and forth in front of me while I'm trying to tell a joke," he said.
In 1952 Allen had first a heart attack and later a cerebral spasm, and his career as a performer was virtually over. His final appearances on television were as a panelist on "What's My Line?," where his talents were largely wasted.
With time on his hands Allen turned to writing books. Treadmill to Oblivion, which appeared in 1954, was a memoir of his radio career, and he was working on Much Ado About Me about his vaudeville and Broadway days, when he died.
On the night of March 17, 1956, Allen, then sixty-one, was taking his dog on his customary stroll before bed when he was stricken with a heart attack a block from his apartment and collapsed on the street. Passersby carried him inside a nearby building, but he was dead within twenty minutes.
At the time of Allen's death many critics and friends took issue with his belief that he and other radio comedians had toiled futilely on a "treadmill to oblivion." Yet if the name of Fred Allen is mentioned today to anyone under forty who is neither a nostalgia buff nor an entertainment industry historian, the likely response is a blank stare. The movies in which Allen appeared are rarely seen; his early TV appearances were not filmed, as were those of Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, or Lucille Ball. And Allen was realistic about his radio career. At the end of one broadcast he had been heard to mutter, "Well, that one belongs to the sparrows."
Certainly his radio programs were ephemeral, but for those who remember hearing them and for those who have built upon his comic inventions, the laughter they inspired is by no means forgotten. The day after Allen died, his friend and former employee Herman Wouk wrote to The New York Times: "In Fred Allen, the voice of sanity spoke out for all Americans to hear, during a trying period of our history, in the classic and penetrating tones of comic satire. Because he lived and wrote and acted here, this land will always be a saner place to live in. That fact is his true monument."

Yes, I may be an interior designer myself. Yes, I may have designed a kitchen or two in my time. But I will readily admit that I would have no qualms hiring Urban Grace to renovate any and all kitchens in my future. I adore everything this design team churns out, but their kitchens hold a special kind of magic.
SMP: What's the best thing you could add to your kitchen?
UG: Anything vintage or antique. It could be art, a recipe box, lighting, anything. I love the mix of old and new. I think a home should feel as if it has developed over time and not like it was thrown together all at once.
SMP: Any tips on personalizing a kitchen in a rental home?
UG: I love to collect dishes and display them in my kitchen and dining room. Platters, serving trays, etc. A display of personal collections is a great and inexpensive way to make any space feel more like home.
SMP: If you were to splurge on one item in your kitchen design, what would it be?
UG: Appliances. High-end appliances will last you a lifetime and will add to the value of your home.
SMP: The biggest design mistake people make in the kitchen?
UG: I think people become so focused on making their kitchen a show piece that they forget about function. There is nothing worse than a beautiful kitchen that isn't functional. Well, there are worse things..but not in kitchen design!
1. Keep function first. Don't get so caught up in making it pretty that you forget about function.
2.Don't forget about the lighting. Lighting is so important in a kitchen (and every other space). I think it's something that gets overlooked a lot of the time and it's such a crucial aspect in the design of a kitchen.
3. Design it for the way you live. Keep in mind how you operate in the kitchen. If you use the microwave daily don't hide it away in a pantry. Things like that are what make kitchen design so enjoyable. It allows you the opportunity to really get to know each client and how they live so you can create a space that is the most functional for them.
4. Keep it simple. This rule really applies to all spaces, but especially kitchens. Kitchens often become the center of the home where everyone gathers and hangs out. Don't have anything (fabrics, etc.) that you don't want to be lived in.
5. Keep the finishes and materials simple and classic. This rule applies to both kitchens and baths. It's always better to choose materials and finishes that will look as great 10 years from now as they do today since they are typically the most expensive to renovate.

There are a couple ways to fix a pull. This is the easiest I've found for myself
1 - Pass a piece of fine and waxed thread through the loop of the pull (you may need to put it on a needle first, if the loop is small).
2 - Insert the needle into the hole that the pull created, or at least get as close as possible to the center point between the two ends of the pull loop.
3 - With the needle halfway through, pass both ends of the thread through the eye of the needle (or add the remaining end, in the same direction, if one is already threaded).
4 - Draw the needle the rest of the way through. Once the hole of the needle is through, use the thread to draw rather than the needle, so that one end doesn't slip back through the fabric.
5 - Once the thread comes up against the loop of the pull, gently draw it through to the back side.
6 - Let go of one end of the thread and draw on the other to take it out of the now reversed pull.
You can reverse step 2 & 3, but the way listed lets you use shorter thread so there is less friction, though that may only matter with certain fabrics. If the fabric has a backing, you'll need to pass the needle back to the front some distance away from the pull that is further away than the pull loop is long. If that's the case, waxing the thread can help make sure that you don't pull the loop even more out the back than it was originally pulled out the front. Go slow and gentle.
Good info, thanks kindly!
Judging by the tumbleweeds in my inbox, I guess it was a smart pass haha.

R.E.G.R.E.T Find out what it means to me. Sock it to me.
Then I started thinking about regrets. I can't actually think of anything that I regret at the moment. I am pretty calculated when making decisions. However, there is one thing that numerous people told me I was going to regret: skipping my college graduation. Oh, if you want to get some people riled up I highly recommend pointing out that you won't be attending your own graduation ceremony, ye gods the drama. I didn't regret it. Not even for a moment. Not for a second. In fact, I don't think I have spent this much time thinking about it ... ever.
So, when my graduation here came up, I didn't hesitate to check "graduating in absentia" off on the form letter.
The post has very little point. Apologies.
Do you regret anything? Sock it to me?

I regret the fact that I can't seem to keep up with so many things! I need 48 hours in one day to finish half of the things I wanna do! So, I'm way behind on my blog reading. I can't keep up!!!!
:( I didn't go to my college graduation either (and I don't regret it), but I think my parents will kill me if I do something like that again. I'm thinking about it, though.I don't really regret anything, but there are people who think if you have no regrets you haven't lived. Well, maybe I haven't. I've been an adult for nearly 20 years and don't have a lot to show for it. Mostly this doesn't bother me. Sometimes it does. Like lately.
Gah. *slaps self*
Good on you for doing what YOU want.I regret not going to college, thus not having a degree in anything. (Which means I have never liked my jobs. But to be fair it wasn't until THIS YEAR that I knew what I wanted to do with my life. And....er...I hate school.)
I also regret stalking people on facecrack while visiting insomnia theatre. What a waste of time, that boys not interested.I definitely have a few regrets - I am one of the people Frisky Librarian refers to. I really do believe if you have no regrets it probably means you have either taken no risks or are the most lucky person in the world and all your risks paid off! :D
I turned 30 this week and, whilst my life is certainly interesting, its very different to what I thought it would be and there definitely are things I regret. A big one is not getting into University life more when I was an undergrad and also not travelling more when younger. YOu have inspired me to think more about this. I may blog about it.DDG - biting off more than you can chew? A common problem for sure! Well, it's hard with NaBloPoMo to keep up with all the blogging. If you want to skip it - SKIP IT.
Frisky Librarian - Hm, well, I guess it depends on how you define regrets doesn't it? I mean, I've learned from mistakes I've made - and thus I don't really regret making them. You know? Even though they were, in fact, mistakes!
Ev Rev - It's never to late to go back to College - and maybe you'd learn better doing an online degree or something? It's different learning when you're really passionate about something too.
Ruby - I am so pleased to be an inspiration! :) Happy Birthday!- AnonymousJanuary 31, 2011 at 9:24 AM
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.

Dick Wagner, a guitarist who has played for Alice Cooper, Aerosmith and KISS, reveals to ABC News that he suffered from a stroke and a heart attack in 2007.
"I woke up from a coma after two weeks with a paralyzed left arm. My profession as a guitarist, I thought was over," says Wagner.
Rehabilitation was a long, hard road, which was made even harder as Wagner began experiencing mental fogginess and something wrong with his walk.
"I couldn't turn to the left as I walked, only to the right, and I would do a spiral and fall," says Wagner. "I fell completely flat on my face in the driveway on the concrete. I didn't know what had happened to me."
A fall by his pool caused a blood clot and required surgery. Wagner was eventually diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which causes a build-up of spinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain, putting pressure on the nerves that control the legs, the bladder and one's cognitive function. NPH often mimics the dementia of Alzheimer's and the impaired motor skills of Parkinson's.
According to Dr. Joseph M. Zambramski, who placed a shunt in Wagner to relieve the build-up of spinal fluid, an estimated 5 percent of dementia patients actually have NPH, which is correctable.
"I am like a new man almost overnight. For five years, I couldn't even pick up a guitar — I didn't have the strength or the coordination," says Wagner.
It is estimated that several hundred thousand Americans suffer from NPH, which is diagnosed via a CT scan or an MRI, followed by a spinal tap to drain fluid from the brain. If the patient's condition improves, NPH is the likely cause.
The reason NPH is so easy to misdiagnose is because the majority of symptoms — difficulty walking, failing memory and urinary urgency — are also symptoms of old age.
But now Wagner, thanks to the proper diagnosis, has regained his fine motor skills and corrected his balance problem. He is now on tour in Denmark.

Jordan Baker, 16, of Hastings, facing two counts of attempted first-degree murder, appeared in district court for a hearing on moving his case to juvenile court.
They were apprehended later that night, fleeing on I-80 near Lexington.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling objected to moving Bakers trial to juvenile court. Harling said that state statutes clearly say a crime committed with aggression, violence, weapons and pre-meditation is to be tried as an adult charge.
Harling cited a statement made by the 18-year-old co-defendant Keenan Lambert, that the intent of both defendants was to mortally injure the victims.
Harling pointed out the multiple wounds, some serious. She said a juvenile court could only sentence Baker to six months at a youth rehabilitation center and then to another group home, where he could intimidate and endanger others, as he did in the stabling in North Platte.
Harling said he should be tried as an adult to insure an appropriate punishment for the crime.
Defense attorney Pat Hays pointed out that Baker has no serious record, and he said Bakers age should put the case into juvenile court.
Lincoln County District Judge Donald Rowlands took the arguments under advisement and said he would issue a decision within a week.
Lambert has not been to district court yet.

Indoor Riding Arenas I'm researching indoor riding arenas and am intrigued with the fabric covered arenas. They seem very light and airy but so far, a bit more expensive than metal pole building types. Not sure about durability and return on investment, although I have been told that metal buildings depreciate horribly after 5 yrs. anyway. We live in the Midwest and have received a quote from ClearSpan. Any input, anyone? |
My metal barn is probably 20 years old and looks brand spanking new. Posted via Mobile Device |
Do you get snow in your area? If so, I wouldn't want something that's "light and airy." |
Indoor Riding Arenas "Who told you that? The Clearspan folks?" My brother is a real estate broker in Missouri, sells mostly farms, and he said that metal buildings don't appraise for much at all if over 5 yrs. old. |
I just spoke to a builder from Michigan, and they do engineer for wind and snow. I'm in Indiana (formerly Wisconsin) and the snow here is lighter. |
I guess for me, I'd be more concerned with something that's going to keep out the wind and weather rather than resale value. Of course, I have no plans on selling my property, either. |
Somebody on here has a Clear Span arena... I've heard they are terrifying when the snow comes off of them. Posted via Mobile Device |
I'm in the hoosier state about 2 hours from the OP. My indoor is metal, it was put up by Farm Builders. It's almost 20 years old now, never had any problems. We've got fully insulated walls that are covered with with osb 12 ft high and the top has the clear corrugated inserts for light, and 16 ft sliding doors on all 4 sides - with the doors open in warm weather it's very airy. It also stays plenty warm in the winter - I ride in under armour leggings & top under jeans and a sweatshirt even in the worst part of winter. |
Indoor Riding Arenas Quote:
I've heard that snow tends not to stick. Also, I've heard snow sliding off the roof of a metal building and that's pretty horrific. Don't know that there's a solution to that, other than being aware of the possibility with any building! :shock: |

Jay Z has apparently agreed to be Kanye West's best man at his wedding to Kim Kardashian, and I'm not mad, just disappointed. After all, it was bound to happen eventually right? I have no friends myself, as I'm a cold-hearted blogger, but I've heard it's important to show up for your friend as he pledges to spend the rest of his life as a jewel in E!'s crown. I mean…as Kim's husband. Sorry, not sure how that typo happened.
But you know who isn't bummed out about this news at all? Kanye. According to Radar Online, once Jay confirmed he'd be in attendance in Paris on May 24th, Kanye lost his mind with excitement and essentially transformed into a full-on toddler.
"The best news came when Jay sent a gift to Kanye with an inscription referring to Jay Z as the rapper's 'Best Man.' The gift was a gold-plated, diamond-encrusted flask, delivered with a $10,000 bottle of scotch, for Kanye to have for his wedding day."
Pretty much normal so far, right? Okay but GET READY.
"Kanye was almost jumping up and down, he was so excited. He was running around Kris [Jenner]'shouse to find Kim saying, 'Baby, look! Look! Jay and B are coming!' Kanye has been begging Jay to reconsider his decision not to come to the wedding, an even more devastating decision that left Kanye groomsman-less when he declined being his best man during the televised nuptials."
I AM OBSESSED. I'm just imagining him skidding into rooms in his socks, looking for Kim, and then crashing into another one while shouting "Baby! BABY! Auntie B and Uncle Jay are coming! Auntie B and Uncle Jay are coming to my party! Can I wear a bowtie??"
Apparently the change of heart from Jay and Beyonce came when Kim and Kanye elected not to televise their wedding. I know — I was similarly skeptical when I first heard it wouldn't be on TV. But it sounds like it's actually a real thing, because it was a condition of Jay Z and Beyonce attending:
"Both Jay and Beyonce are refusing to participate in any filming, so E! will get to air some wedding photos, but none with them in it. E! wants to shoot the rehearsal dinner, but Jay is putting his foot down. So the drama continues. Instead, Kim and Kanye are now in talks with Vogue to publish some wedding photos, after their cover did so well. Jay and Bey don't mind that at all, as there will be a write-up with it, and they can promote their dual tour."
If there's one thing (and only one) that Kimye likes more than publicity, it's famous people. So if anyone was going to get this wedding off the airwaves, it was gonna be Jay&Bey y'know? For as annoyed as I am with them for caving and agreeing to go to the wedding, I do appreciate that I'll be spared the temptation to tune in myself on E! Thank you for that much at least.

COLUMBUS -- The Ohio Supreme Court has sided with the family of a boy who injured his leg at a Cuyahoga Falls swimming pool, allowing a civil suit against the city in the matter.
Justices, in a unanimous decision, said a state law granting civil immunity to local governments did not bar the family of Michael Hawsman from seeking damages following the 2006 incident.
Hawsman and his parents alleged the diving board at the city-owned pool was not properly maintained, causing the accident. The city said it was immune from civil liability.
A trial court ruled in favor of the city, but the Ninth District Court of Appeals reversed the decision. The city sought a ruling from the state's high court.
The Ohio Supreme Court said the facts of the case fell within an exception in state law to immunity from civil lawsuits, affirming the appeals court decision and remanding the case to the trial court for further proceedings.
According to the ruling, "The complaint alleged that the city was negligent in the care or control of its pool or diving board and that the negligence caused the injury suffered by M.H. The pool is within a building that is 'used in connection with the performance of a governmental function.'"
The ruling added, "This case seems to fit clearly within the exception...."

And if you've ever battled to get ice cream out of a container with a more traditional looking scoop, you'll appreciate the extra thought that's gone into this one's design.AdvertisementFirst off, the leading edge is serrated like a knife, so it can slash its way through even the most solid of frozen treats. And that fancy faceted design on the scoop? That's not just for futuristic looks. No, that texture prevents a scoop of ice cream from sticking like a suction cup, so it's easier to deposit onto a cone.

AlienWare (so Dell) has just unveiled a gaming PC running Ubuntu and Steam, designed to be hooked up to a TV - essentially a Steambox. "With over 25 gaming titles available and more being added, users can access Steam For Linux to play online games, including your favorite titles like Team Fortress 2 and Serious Sam 3." Everything starts out small, but with Valve going full throttle with this, expect this library to grow.

We have to say, we have much pity for any black ESPN columnist who brings up the notion that life for black people might be a little different than it is for white people and has the cojones to enter a chat room about it. It's becoming a tradition at ESPN.com, actually; whether it was the late Ralph Wiley, Scoop Jackson or, most recently, Jason Whitlock, when you write about race and take questions from ESPN readers about it, you're gonna get hammered. Advertisement Yesterday, Whitlock wrote a column for Page 2 that brought up an interesting, if seriously arguable, point: When Tyrone Willingham got off to such a great start at Notre Dame, he still struggled with his job security; when Charlie Weis did the same, they gave him a 10-year contract extension. Certainly a thesis worthy of discussion, at least. But, as always happens when anyone pulls the race card, he's being hammered for it (we've been receiving constant emails about it since he wrote it).The chat is alternately gruesome and fascinating-in-a-snuff-film type of way. A few highlights: Advertisement • "There is no way you actually believe that garbage you wrote and feel that the facts you used actually back up your point? If the latter is true then you are a joke and should be ashamed of yourself. CLOWN!" • "Is this just a publicity stunt on your part? It seems like no one even knew who you were until you wrote this?" • "Is the reason you are on Page 2 and not the main page at ESPN is because Page 2 is ESPN's tabloid journalism site with which you fit in perfectly?" • "What has less calories? a salad or 5 bags of chedder ruffles. You are a racist who should try playing uno instead of the race card all the time."Somehow, Whitlock hangs in through all of this. We're not sure we would have handled it as well. This is why chat rooms terrify us ... even moderated ones.Jason Whitlock Chat [ESPN] Skin Deep [ESPN]ReplyLeave a reply

Be Happy, Go Blonde
What to know before pulling the switch, and the celebs who wear it well
-Lois Joy Johnson
Spring is THE time when women who consider going blonde actually do it.
Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet are blonder once again, and Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts just went blonde for movie (Angie did it with wigs but still!).
Personally, I always think Scarlett Johansson, Nicky Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan look better when they turn on the lights too.
I wasn't always blonde either, but it took haircolor guru Brad Johns three minutes from the moment we met five years ago to see the golden girl beneath the smoky brunette. Last time I was there, at 8 A.M., his color sanctuary at The Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon in New York City was already crammed with blonde-a-holics like artist Cindy Sherman, model Jamie King and loads of adoring clients chatting away recession anxiety as our dark side went down the drain. The late Natasha Richardson and Carolyn Bessette owed their buttery locks to Brad, and so does political analyst Ann Coulter.
Mornings like these make for a very lively meeting of roots and minds. Brad's advice on maintenance, when to cut, when to add pieces or bangs or grow them out and his calm spiritual vibe make the experience more like glama-therapy.
If you're brunette and have blonde ambition, here's what to know:
• Do it gradually. Going from brunette to blonde is an extreme haircolor change. Start by adding a few sunny highlights, then ease into a lighter base color before adding even bolder highlights.
• Let a pro handle the transformation. Adding a few highlights with a kit is easy if you're a natural dirty blonde shade, and at-home is foolproof for covering grays or just going a shade or two warmer or brighter. But when it comes to serious change, let a skilled colorist narrow the margin of error. Getting the right shade and degree of blondeness without damage is tricky for amateurs. If money is an issue, go the minimalist route.
• Be committed to care and conditioning. Beautiful blonde color needs to be handled like silk not a cotton tee. Moisturizing shampoos, shea butter-rich masks at least once a week, and careful heat styling are all part of the TLC you'll need to do.
What kind of blonde are you? Know before you trade your shade. Think all blonde hair is alike? As these celeb heads show, there are important shades of difference…

Uttar Pradesh, Jaiprakash Gaur's home state, is India's most populous state, with 166 million citizens. Economically it has lagged behind the rest of India. The two expressways that Jaypee is building will provide a big boost to the state's economy, say analysts. "The positive spinoffs will be enormous," says Aashiesh Agarwaal, vice president at Edelweiss Capital in Mumbai. "There will be a huge multiplier effect, thanks to the employment these projects will generate."
Doing business in UP, which often involves dealing with a fractious and caste- ridden political establishment, is never easy. The state's political boss is Mayawati, a lower-caste Dalit leader now in her fourth stint as chief minister. Her Bahujan Samaj Party stormed back into power in 2007 on the back of the Dalit vote that she shrewdly combined with the upper class Brahmins she wooed. She has openly declared her ambition to be the country's prime minister and was being talked of as a probable candidate until the last federal elections, when her party did less well than expected. UP is a crucial state in the federal elections because it has the largest number of representatives in parliament. This gives the party that rules UP a significant say in the formation of the federal government.
In a brazen bid to silence her opponents and critics who suggest that her power is waning, Mayawati recently hosted a massive rally in Lucknow, the state capital, to celebrate the 76th birthday of the late Kanshi Ram, her political mentor and her party's founder. At the rally, party workers festooned Mayawati with a massive garland made of rupee notes. This sycophantic act sparked an uproar of criticism and an income tax inquiry. She countered by accepting a similar garland from her supporters two days later. Mayawati has been on a statue-building binge and Lucknow is filled with monuments to herself and her late mentor.
Jaypee benefits from Gaur's ability to deal with politicians, says a banker. Its office in Lucknow, where Gaur's son Sameer frequently works, is just a stone's throw away from Mayawati's official residence.

DUNEDIN, Fla. — Philadelphia Phillies starter John Lannan got a good look at Toronto's lineup Monday.
The Blue Jays, a favorite to win the American League East, beat the Phillies 13-4.
"A great lineup, and they're swinging," said Lannan, who allowed 12 runs and 14 hits over four innings.
"Most of the day I was up in the zone, and they took advantage," Lannan added. "For the most part, it was solid contact. You've got to move on. You've got to kind of look at it like, you're getting it out of the way I hope."
J.P. Arencibia homered twice and Josh Johnson struck out eight in 5.1 shutout innings.
Toronto manager John Gibbons said prior to the first pitch that both Arencibia and backup Henry Blanco will catch knuckleballer R.A. Dickey this season.
That means Arencibia will start on opening day.
"It's not about me, it's about the team," Arencibia said. "It hasn't been the craziest transition. I think that I've proved I've been able to catch him pretty well."
The Blue Jays had been thinking about having a personal catcher, possibly Blanco, work with Dickey fulltime.
"After watching J.P. catch him in the WBC and did a nice job, they'll both catch him," Gibbons said. "To be honest with you, I thought J.P. might have a hard time with him and catching a knuckleball."
Arencibia hit a three-run shot and Jose Reyes had a two-run triple during an eight-run second off Lannan. Mark DeRosa, Rajai Davis and Melky Cabrera each had RBI singles.
Arencibia, who had three hits, added a two-run drive in a three-run fourth.
Johnson gave up four hits and one walk. The right-hander also started March 15 in Dunedin, a 17-5 Blue Jays victory over the New York Yankees.
"Awesome," Johnson said. "The last start I had over here, it was the same thing — long innings — but I'll take (it)."
Toronto closer Casey Janssen struck out all three of his hitters in his second spring training appearance. He had surgery in November to address lingering shoulder soreness.
Zach Miner replaced Lannan in the fifth and gave up Cabrera's leadoff homer.
It wasn't all good news for the home team. Toronto third baseman Brett Lawrie will start the regular season on the disabled list due to a strained rib. He felt discomfort in his left side during an exhibition game with Canada's WBC team against the Cincinnati Reds on March 6.
"He's not going to be ready," Gibbons said. "It's not like he had a big setback or anything, it's a precautionary thing."
Lawrie doesn't have a timetable on when he might return.
"When I do things out on the field, it just doesn't feel it's right on that side," Lawrie said. "Now I'm just trying to make sure that it's 100 percent and everything is out of there, and I can just go out there and play."
The Blue Jays will likely platoon DeRosa and Maicer Izturis at third.
Toronto first baseman Edwin Encarnacion, out with a sore right index finger, could play in the next couple days. He expects to take batting practice Tuesday.
Erik Kratz had a two-run single during the Phillies' four-run ninth off Brett Cecil.
Notes: Johnson walked Ben Revere in the third. which was his first of the exhibition season. He has 21 strikeouts. ... Struggling Toronto LHP Ricky Romero will start today's game against Pittsburgh. ... Phillies RHP Kyle Kendrick didn't make trip and was scheduled to pitch in a minor-league game. ... The Blue Jays optioned RHP Brad Lincoln, C Josh Thole and OF Anthony Gose to triple-A Buffalo, and sent RHP David Bush to their minor league camp. ... Toronto RHP Dustin McGowan, who had three shoulder operations in the last five years, is scheduled to pitch an inning Tuesday against the Pirates.

Best Cheap Coffee Grinders
Price Range
Published on By Maralyn Edid
If you enjoy a good cup of coffee, a small investment in a cheap coffee grinder is a small price to pay for fresh coffee at its best, brewed at home or in the office. Coffee is most flavorful when the beans are ground just before brewing; once exposed to oxidation through the grinding process, coffee beans begin to lose flavor. A coffee grinder lets you enjoy the rich fullness of coffee's natural essence. High-end coffee grinders can set you back a few hundred dollars, but we found several grinders costing $20 or less that are more than adequate for this simple task.
Our Picks
Mr. Coffee IDS77 Electric Review
Users award the Mr. Coffee IDS77 high marks for reliability, features, and ease of use. Unlike other cheap coffee grinders, Mr. Coffee IDS77 offers three grind settings (find, medium, and course) and a "cleaning system" that removes much of the excess residue from the grinding chamber, which can go into a dishwasher.
Krups Fast Touch 203-42 Review
The Krups Fast Touch 203-42 wins high praise from users for its utility, long life, and compact design. Some users caution that it isn't the best choice if you use a French press coffee maker, but many say it's the right choice for drip coffee makers with a cone-shaped paper filter.
Toastmaster 1119 Review
Consumers say the Toastmaster 1119 is a durable, effective grinder that's particularly useful for grinding flax and other types of seeds; grinding coffee beans seems almost like an afterthought.
Jura Capresso 501 Cool Grind Review
The Capresso 501 Cool Grind features a large grinding chamber and low-heat motor that grinds more slowly than other discount coffee grinders, two design elements that help preserve the beans' aromatic taste. Users confirm this model is key to a great-tasting brew.
Black & Decker CBG100S Review
Users are disappointed with the Black & Decker CBG100S, saying it's noisy, messy, and prone to malfunctions.
Cuisinart DCG-20 Review
Users complain about the Cuisinart DCG-20's limited life span and poor design, which leads to lots of spilled coffee grounds.
Cheap Coffee Grinders Buying Guide
Serious coffee aficionados may prefer a seriously expensive coffee grinder. High-priced models are typically burr grinders, which produce uniform grounds by grinding the beans between two wheels. With burr grinders you're guaranteed results that meet your specification: if you want a coarse grind, all the grounds will be coarse; if you want a fine grind, all the grounds will be fine. Expensive burr grinders also feature a range of settings that produce specific grinds for different types of coffee makers.
Cheap coffee grinders are blade grinders; that is, they chop the beans with stainless steel blades that rotate at high-speed. Blade grinders are less precise than burr grinders and often fail to grind beans to a consistent size. In particular, budget blade grinders struggle to deliver the coarser grinds that are preferred for French press coffee makers and percolators. That said, inexpensive coffee grinders effectively churn out the medium to fine grind required for drip coffee makers and espresso machines. (A fine grind is best for drip coffee makers with paper cone filters and for espresso machines; a medium grind is best for drip coffee makers with flat-bottomed filters.) Another common use for discount coffee grinders is grinding spices and nuts; most low price coffee grinders we reviewed work very well for this purpose.
The major manufacturers of coffee grinders are Krups, Mr. Coffee, Jura Capresso, Proctor Silex, Toastmaster, Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, and Black & Decker. These companies offer a range of models at different prices, including some cheap coffee grinders that meet consumers' expectations for performance, ease of use, and durability.
Our research identified two cheap coffee grinders for our "best" category: the Krups Fast Touch 203-42 (starting at $19) is a simple, reliable, no-frills blade coffee grinder that's proven popular for years due to its solid performance; the Mr. Coffee IDS77 (starting at $18) offers some appealing frills, including three automated grind settings that time the grinding action so you don't have to. For the "good" category, we picked the Jura Capresso 501 Cool Grind (starting at $20), which grinds more slowly than other discount coffee grinders to prevent heat build-up, and the Toastmaster 1119 (starting at $12), which users say does a particularly fine job grinding seeds and nuts. We also found two cheap coffee grinders -- the Black & Decker CBG (starting at $20) and the Cuisinart DCG-20 (starting at $20) -- that garner complaints about design and malfunctions.
Cheap coffee grinders, like the Krups Fast Touch 203-42, Jura Capresso 501 Cool Grind, Toastmaster 1119, Black & Decker CBG100S, and Cuisinart DCG-20, are blade grinders. They're powered up with a simple push button that sets blades whirring inside a small chamber where the beans go. Grinding time varies from five to 15 seconds depending on the amount of beans you're grinding and how finely ground you wish them to be; the Capresso 501 Cool Touch may take a few seconds longer owing to the low-heat motor that's intended to minimize the loss of flavor during a slower grinding process. Most inexpensive coffee grinders feature a push-and-hold control button and clear plastic top (for viewing) that let you decide when to stop the machine. Directions for some discount coffee grinders, like the Capresso Cool Grind 501, Toastmaster 1119, and Black & Decker CBG 100S, recommend using a pulse action for the most even grind.The Mr. Coffee IDS77 times the action electronically. Just choose from among three settings -- coarse, medium, and fine -- and the number of cups you'll be brewing, and this coffee grinder determines when to shut itself off. You have to keep your finger on the control button throughout, but you can short-circuit the action by letting go if you decide the grind is fine enough. The most sophisticated cheap coffee grinder we found is the Hamilton Beach 80365 (starting at $17), which provides hands-free operation: choose from among the five grind and four cup settings, push the start button, let go, and the coffee grinder stops when the grinding is complete.
There's a noticeable difference in the stated capacity of the cheap coffee grinders that we researched. Some are designed to grind enough beans for a small crowd, while others can only handle enough for a few people. At the high-capacity end, the Capresso Cool Grind 501, with its oversize 3.5-ounce grinding chamber, and the Krups Fast Touch 203-42, with a three-ounce chamber, can theoretically grind beans for up to 15 cups of coffee at one go. The Mr. Coffee IDS77, Hamilton Beach 80365, and Black & Decker CBG100S claim to grind up to 12 cups worth of beans, although we didn't find information about the size of the grinding chambers. Moving down the capacity spectrum, the Cuisinart DCG-20 features a 2.5-ounce grinding chamber and the Toastmaster 1119 includes a two-ounce chamber; retailers' specifications for both say the container holds enough for 12 cups of coffee. We found discrepancies among vendors concerning the maximum number of cups advertised for several models, and users assert in discount coffee grinder reviews that the cup maximums are way overstated for all models.If you expect to prepare just one or two cups of coffee in the morning, though, you might prefer one of the smaller cheap coffee grinders. Although the high-capacity coffee grinders may not specify a minimum number of cups, grinding beans for less than four cups (about two mugs) might produce unsatisfactory results. Despite the difference in capacity among low price coffee grinders, there's little difference in price and overall size.
Grinding coffee can be a messy business, so it's good to know how to keep your coffee grinder clean. The Mr. Coffee IDS77 and Hamilton Beach 80365 are the easiest to maintain. Both models have a removable grinding chamber that can be placed in the dishwasher. The Mr. Coffee IDS77 goes one step further by providing a proprietary semi-automatic cleaning system called the "chamber maid cleaning system" -- press a lever and three plastic bars move around the grinding chamber to remove residue. You can clean the other discount coffee grinders on our list with a damp cloth or dry brush (some users recommend a small paint or pastry brush).Cord and Storage.
If you have a cluttered counter or prefer to store your coffee grinder when not in use, the length of the cord and where it goes matter. The Mr. Coffee IDS77 provides recessed storage so you can easily tuck away the cord and move the coffee grinder out of sight. Other cheap coffee grinders with recessed cord storage include the Capresso Cool Grind 501, Toastmaster 1119, and Hamilton Beach 80365. The Krups Fast-touch 203-42 has a very short cord with no recessed storage, so you may need an extension cord for this model. The Proctor Silex E160B (starting at $12) features an unusual (for discount coffee grinders) retractable cord.Coffee Grinders Performance
Coffee grinder reviews are fairly straightforward. Most comment on the evenness of the grind, the ease of cleaning, and the coffee grinder's durability. Coffee grinder reviews also reveal a surprising assortment of uses for these small appliances, from the obvious grinding of coffee beans to the more surprising grinding of flax seeds for chicken feed and crushing of medicine for horses. Grinding dried herbs, spices, and nuts is another function cheap coffee grinders handle often and with aplomb. Our reading of reviews indicates that the appeal of discount coffee grinders lies in the combination of low price, good performance, and reliability.
General Performance.
The mark of a top-notch coffee grinder is its ability to produce uniformly-sized grounds so that each granule or powdery speck brews at the same rate, which in turn minimizes any bitter or burnt flavor. Cheap blade grinders do a more or less better job of even grinding, depending on the model, but never reach the standard set by pricey burr grinders.Getting the optimal size grind for the beans you like and the coffee-making process you use, however, may involve some trial and error, according to coffee grinder reviews. For example, the Home Cooking in Montana blog reports that a pulse action involving short, quick bursts, as well as shaking the grinder, is the best way to get even grounds with the Capresso 501 Cool Grind. A review on Amazon suggests staging a few test runs with the Krups Fast Touch 203-42 (starting at $19), but notes that nine seconds seems right for the amount of beans needed for one flavorful cup. If you don't like the idea of guesswork, there's always the Mr. Coffee IDS77 (starting at $18); a coffee grinders review on Amazon claims the electronic grind and cup settings shut down the machine at just the right moment.
Based on the coffee grinders reviews we read, certain models are more adept at a given grind size than others. Fine grinds are the forte of the Krups Fast Touch 203-42, say reviews on Amazon, a strength that makes this the cheap coffee grinder of choice for consumers who brew coffee with paper cone-shaped filters. French press coffee makers need a coarser grind that users say is hard to get with the Krups Fast Touch 203-42; a review on Epinions notes that the fine grinds escape the netting of the French press and wind up in your cup. A review on Epinions says the Toastmaster 1119 (starting at $12) makes a fine, powdery grind out of a quarter cup of beans if you hold down the button for 15 seconds. HowStuffWorks disagrees, saying the Toastmaster 1119 is best suited to producing a coarse grind. But the real strength of Toastmaster 1119 may not be grinding coffee beans at all; reviews laud its prowess at grinding nuts and seeds, and one mom reports using the Toastmaster 1119 to grind grain for baby food.
Reviews report the Capresso 501 Cool Grind (starting at $20) stands out for its coarse grind, which is a good match for drip coffeemakers. And a user who conducted a comparative tasting asserts the cool grind technology delivers a better brew than regular blade grinders, according to a coffee grinder review on Amazon. The automatic controls on the Mr. Coffee IDS77 produce the desired fine, coarse, or medium grind, say reviews on Walmart, although other users report inconsistency in the grind between the beans at the bottom and those at the top of the chamber.
The Cuisinart DCG-20 does its thing well enough, say reviews on Amazon but requires some pulsing to yield the best result, which tends to be relatively coarse. Users like the pulse feature on the Black & Decker CBG100S, and a review on Home Depot says pulsing is the best way to ensure the size grind you want, be it fine, medium, or coarse. Other reviews warn that putting too many beans in the chamber of the Black & Decker CBG100S will leave you with a very uneven grind: too fine around the blades and too coarse in the rest of the chamber.
Ease of Use.
Noise, mess, and clean up are the primary issues consumers raise in coffee grinders reviews. Most write that regardless of model, these little appliances are noisy -- but if you want to smell the coffee in the morning, you just have to deal. Stray grounds that fall to the counter as you open the top of the grinding chamber irk some users of most models we researched. Some also grumble about spills when scooping out or otherwise transferring the grinds to the cap before dumping (or measuring) them into the coffee maker. The most frequent complaints about excessive spills and stray grinds concern the Cuisinart DCG-20, in part because of its small 2.5-ounce size of the chamber, and the Black & Decker CBG100S, in part because some users find the top difficult to remove. Trying to pour the grounds directly from the motor unit into coffee-brewing equipment is an awkward alternative with blade grinders, says another review. Some users also report static cling in the grinding chambers of the Toastmaster 1119 and Cuisinart DCG-20.Frequent cleaning of the coffee grinder prevents build up of rancid oils that mar the coffee flavor. Many users say clean up is a breeze with the Mr. Coffee IDS77 because the grinding chamber can be removed and put in the dishwasher. Mr. Coffee IDS77 also features a proprietary cleaning system that "sweeps" out coffee residue, although users' assessments of this contraption vary: some coffee grinders reviews on Walmart say it's useless while others say it's an effective cleaning aid.
Blade grinders can't be disassembled for cleaning, and coffee grinders reviews indicate this bothers some consumers. Other users report, however, that some quick work with a small brush or swipe with a damp towel suffices. One owner of the Krups Fast Touch 203-42 says in a review on Cooking.com that a burst of canned air does the trick. Because it may be hard to completely eliminate the coffee aroma or a few stray grounds, several consumers commenting in reviews about the Capresso 501 Cool Grind suggest keeping a second grinder for non-coffee uses. Several reports surfaced on Epinions about grounds that collect under the blades in the Toastmaster 1119.
With but a few exceptions, cheap coffee grinders seem to last. According to coffee grinders reviews on sites like Amazon and Viewpoints, the Krups Fast Touch 203-42 is especially durable; some users write about having used the same unit for more than 10 years. We found a few reports of early death for the Capresso 501 Cool Grind and the Mr. Coffee IDS77, and one consumer says the Toastmaster 1119 slows down as it ages; i.e., it takes longer to get the preferred grind.The Cuisinart DCG-20 and Black & Decker CBG100S seem plagued by more mechanical problems than other models we researched. Several consumers posting reviews on Amazon and Macy's report the Cuisinart DCG-20 died shortly after purchase, even with minimal use, and one says it didn't work fresh out of the box. reviews of the Black & Decker CBG100S, also on Amazon, report blades that keep spinning even when the cap is off, which poses a safety hazard.
A final note: Your cheap coffee grinder will probably live longer if you don't overload it. Don't pack the grinding chamber with too many beans or grind too many batches in a row.

In Arizona, a 14-year-old program gives tax credits to those who donate to organizations that provide private-school scholarships. After Arizona taxpayers have computed how much they owe in state income taxes for the previous year, individuals are allowed to send as much as $500 to so-called school tuition organizations, reducing their tax liability by the same amount.
The scholarships thus funded help worthy young scholars from poor families escape dysfunctional public schools.
Opponents challenged the Arizona program, holding the tax credits have the same effect as a state subsidy to a religious school, even though no government agent had any say over where those funds flowed.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that opponents lacked standing to challenge the 14-year-old program.
The case split the court along familiar lines, with the court's five Republican appointees -- Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito -- in the majority.
Generally, Americans aren't allowed to go to court to contest how their tax dollars are spent. A 1968 decision, Flast v. Cohen, did grant an exception to that rule, holding individuals can challenge statutes that direct government money to be spent for religious purposes.
But Monday's majority said Flast doesn't apply, because the Arizona case involved a tax credit, rather than an appropriation of government dollars. "Contributions result from the decisions of private taxpayers regarding their own funds," Justice Kennedy wrote. "Objecting taxpayers know that their fellow citizens, not the state, decide to contribute and in fact make the contribution."
Justice Elena Kagan wrote the dissent, accusing the majority of creating a "novel distinction" between a tax credit and a government appropriation. "Either way, the government has financed the religious activity," she wrote. "And so either way, taxpayers should be able to challenge the subsidy."
But it's Justice Kagan and the statist minority who offer the novel -- and dangerous -- approach.
Tax write-offs are very different than subsidies. If a tax deduction were a "subsidy," then virtually every government entity in America already stands in violation of any ban on "subsidizing" churches and other charities by the simple fact that most such enterprises are in many ways "tax free."
Many Americans write off their home mortgage interest. Is this a "direct subsidy" to those homeowners, meaning the government has a financial interest in their house and therefore has a right to inspect the premises without a warrant?
Those who fund tuition for able young scholars at private schools are reducing the financial burden on the public schools -- as well as promoting competition and diversity in education and thought. That this hands-off approach amounts to the government "establishing" any one religion, because some of the schools issuing these scholarships may be run by any number of churches, temples or religious societies, is absurd.
The court got this one right.

[In "Lost in America" Isaac Bashevis Singer] makes his own rules—choosing to isolate one short span of his life and to revisit it in a form which will demand neither dramatic invention, as in fiction, nor facts not always worth knowing, as in autobiography. "I consider this work no more than fiction set against a background of truth. I would call the whole work: contributions to an autobiography I never intend to write."
Even so, this is Mr. Singer's third book of his kind of autobiography, following "A Little Boy in Search of God" and "A Young Man in Search of Love." His father, the author has told us in the earlier books, "lived like a saint and he died like one." And Singer himself is a saint—or anyhow saintly—which may be the reason why, to avoid speaking directly of his virtue, he evolves a...
