The Best Dish at the SAG After-Party? You Decide!

SAG Awards Wolfgang Puck Gala

If we ran the SAG Awards, we would add one more category to the list: best performance by an appetizer at the after-party.

Choosing a winner, however? This year, it would be an extremely close call. Saturday’s post-awards Gala, hosted by PEOPLE and the Entertainment Industry Foundation, featured a dazzling spread of two-bite dishes from celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

Puck Instagrammed the menu highlights, asking readers which dish they’d want to try most.

“Braised pork belly empanadas with charred jalapeño onion jam, cilantro creme,” the chef captioned this shot. “Which dish from the @peoplemag / EIF #SAGAwardsGala would you want to try? @peoplegreatideas @sagawards”

This truffle grilled cheese with fig jam, which Puck called “catering comfort food,” gets our vote.

Tart grapefruit and spicy chili gave each spoonful of this tuna crudo a serious pop of flavor.

Puck’s mini cheddar burgers are one of his signature catering dishes. Click for the recipe.

No, it’s not a miniature cocktail—it’s a grown-up take on a push-up pop! Each tube has a serving of creamy mashed potatoes with crème fraîche and caviar.

We could probably down a few dozen of these fried rice balls! Each one is filled with duck confit and served in a cream made from Manchego cheese.

For the vegans in the crowd: “#Vegan potstickers with citrus ponzu!” Puck wrote.

Stars at the party were also treated to a lineup of signature cocktails created by Patrón, including the Ultimat Statue, a tangy mix of vodka, pomegranate juice and OJ with a sugared rim, and the Patrón Award, a fruit-forward tequila cocktail (recipe below). Shake one up tonight!

Let’s put this to a crowd vote: What dish or drink sounds the most delicious to you?

SAG Awards Patrón Tequila Cocktail

1.5 oz. tequila
1.5 oz. orange liqueur
2 oz. blueberry juice
1 oz. mango juice
Blackberries, for garnish

The Latest Craze in Disco Styles Is See-Through Jeans—but Beware of Foggy Bottoms

Posted on

On a clear day, you can see forever—or at least that’s the wicked thought behind L.A. designer Agi Berliner’s transparent idea: see-through jeans. Exhibitionists notwithstanding, most folks wear them over bathing suits or as attention-getting evening wear with halters, garter belts and body stockings. Created for the disco crowd, the $34 jeans are selling like, well, hot pants. In just six weeks, 25,000 pairs have already been sold in such major department store chains as Macy’s, Bonwit’s and Saks.

“What’s limiting American designers is that we’re afraid to do something different,” says Berliner, 32, a Hungarian émigré who fled with her family to the U.S. in 1956. Agi thought up the gimmick in London while marveling at the way plastics were being employed by designers of punk fashion. In her L.A. office, where she designs for La Parisienne junior sportswear, Agi spent five days on the phone and six weeks testing to come up with the right plastic.

Agi herself tried out the French-cut jeans with the zipper in front, and quickly found several problems: Some plastics tore away from stitching, others wouldn’t bend and all fogged with perspiration. The ideal material proved to be a vinyl supplied by a bookbinder. The steam was eliminated with a series of vents behind the knees and in the crotch. “They’re no hotter than polyester pants,” claims Agi, “and if you wear them with tights, they won’t stick to your legs.”

Whatever the discomfort and despite the problem of Saturday night feverishness, discomaniacs report one major advantage of the plastic pants: no laundry bills. To keep Berliner’s see-through jeans clear, all the wearer needs is a little Windex.

Great, now I’m hungry.

Too good for these morons.

Puck listen you know and I know these celebs don’t eat anything cater a party for me! I guarantee everyone will eat!

joan719 on

Guess I like simple food. Unless they put signs out, I would be thinking I am eating ‘mystery food’. Do like the sound of the Patron cocktail and potstickers are always good.

Truthfinder on

I really HATE incomplete recipes…even if it is only the sugar for the rim of the glasses. It’s still an incomplete recipe which to me is very careless. Just a btw.

slow cooker recipes

my husband gave me this gorgeous slow cooker for christmas this year and I am eager to start making some yummy meals. however, I have never used a crock pot and am in need of some delicious recipes. The problems: I am not in the mood for chili, and it isn't immensely cold here, although it is supposed to rain for the next 7 days (should make my weekend painting projects interesting...), therefore I am not looking for crazy comfort food. any ideas?

  1. Check this out:

    I haven't tried many of the recipes, but I do recommend the Orange Chicken! Good luck!

about the future of theological education

What will you find?

Writing about an integrated approach to theological education, which brings us into a conversation about the future.

When I am asked to give presentations, I always post the presentation here so that others might see it or use it as necessary.

Now and then share information from a project of some sort. It could be videos, a research project on peer schools or something in between.

Greg Henson

My passion for the Church coupled with a desire to see theological education reconnect with its roots in local ministry contexts compelled me to explore the many facets of theological education.  In fall 2013 I accepted the role of President at Sioux Falls Seminary. In addition to creating new models of theological education, I write, speak on the topics of theological education, innovation, and generational theory, and facilitate conversations about the future of theological education.

it's over...

...and it ended with the best roast veggies and onion gravy i've ever made.
i just finished the thirty day vegan easy challenge.
i consumed/purchased no animal products (including products tested on animals) for a month and it was a sinch - hardly a challenge at all!
if you click the vegan easy catagory at the bottom of this post, you'll see a zillion delicious things that i cooked and ate over the month of march.
i didn't miss or crave meat or dairy once, i lost two kilos, my insides feel amazing and my heart is happy!

i blogged this month long challenge to give an inside scoop on veganism and try to shake the common myth of vegans eating rabbit food and living off salad and lentils.
i think i sucessfully proved that you can eat amazing (and junky) food without a single animal or their by-products being used or killed!
veganism - easier than you think, and the earth will love you for it :)

rant, done.

i love this macramé jewellery from sollis, the mustard necklace is love.

beautiful graphic design work from ortolan.
hire me?
teach me the way?

Wednesday, March 30

love these pieces from minoux, so shiny, want!
found at modish.

rocky top soap shop.

i saw these featured on etsy the other day and totally forgot to mention them.
rocky top soap shop = vegan, awesome scents and awesome packing design.
win, win, win.

amanda wachob.

good and bad news.
good - i found the most amazing tattoo artist in the world.
bad - i now need to go to nyc to get an appointment.
time to start saving a gazillion dollars

found at carnival.

food guilts.

i ate a fair bit of take-away yesterday, tried to make myself feel less guilty by eating grapes...
i even brought leftovers for lunch and everything but the smell of indian, it was too much!
i had a chickpea and potato curry and some spicy eggplant and potato curry with a pakora.
post-pakora and thieving two pappadums from my friend's plate, i ate about three mouthfuls of curry... extra guilt.
dinner was thai sweet potato curry puffs, spring rolls, satay veggies and black bean tofu.

guilty, but satisfied!
p.s pictures are horrible but there was no time to focus, mouthwatering food was waiting.

cover song archive.

i found the cover song archive via booooooom!
it's awesome.
i don't even like fleet foxes, i just these kids!

i also now need to sit in some woods.

Tuesday, March 29

slow days at work + internet access = etsy.
i come to this equation a fair bit...

pretty prints from hillary bird and shiny ring from luckyduct.

matou en peluche.

beautiful prints from
matou en peluche.
i love art deco.

a pretty walk.

yesterday when i was swiftly walking home (to avoid the imminent thunder storm) i noticed how many awesome flowers i pass every day.
i considered stopping and taking pictures but screw that, it was about to get wet.
so i left home a bit earlier this morning to allow for photo taking time and this is the result :)

This may in fact be my final Frankenstein blog. The work has long been assembled and shipped off for mass production. Now, it is time to sit back and await the release in August. In my head, I imagine unsuspecting mothers discovering the book nestled somewhere between WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE and OLIVIA. Their faces recoil in horror to the grotesque images as their children run out of the store screaming. What has been seen, cannot be unseen. Historians eagerly flip through the pages with scrutinizing fingers, appalled and perplexed by the juxtaposition of modern punk icons and Victorian authenticity. Somewhere in a comic shop, the book awaits discovery. And then, there are those, the misfit minds for whom this book was created for. They will discover the book and instantly develop a kindred bond as they are transported to another dimension. This will be their bible. It will remain by their side with loose spine and filthy pages, shared in school hallways and peeped through at midnight under private sheets. "Fans will return to these pages obsessively; readers encountering the story for the first time may find Grimly’s images rise to view whenever they think of it."

These bits of words were discovered this morning when I awoke to find the first review for Frankenstein was released by Publisher's Weekly. They wrote...

"Grimly’s fans have been awaiting this reworking of Shelley’s 1818 classic for four years, and they will rejoice in the end result. Spidery ink lines and a palette of jaundiced yellows and faded sepias plumb the darkness of the writer’s imaginings. Frankenstein’s bone-embellished military jacket and pop-star shock of hair turn him into a sort of anachronistic punk scientist, but other elements of the work are more circumspect. Crabbed, tense portraits of Frankenstein’s friends and family combine historical detail with theatrical emotion. The images of the dissections that lead to the monster’s creation dwell on flesh and bone, yet show, for Grimly, a certain restraint. Even more notable is Grimly’s refusal to capitalize on the horror of the iconic scenes for which the movie versions of the story are remembered. The monster’s crimes are shown mostly in b&w thumbnails, as if Grimly were hastening through them to probe more carefully the monster’s self-loathing and Frankenstein’s ruin. Fans will return to these pages obsessively; readers encountering the story for the first time may find Grimly’s images rise to view whenever they think of it."

What a radiant opinion to start with. I look forward for more to come.

 What an exciting day this Wednesday has started out to be, with a visit from the UPS man at the door. My breakfast (consisting of eggs, sausage, a slice of cinnamon toast and a cup of coffee), was abruptly interrupted by fierce knocks at the front door. As I went to answer, a UPS truck scurried off like some child guilty of ding-dong ditch. There at my feet lay a small special package from Harper Collins Publishing. I brought it into the dinning room where I was having breakfast with my wife. She asked if I was expecting anything. As I slit the envelope open, I quickly realized what i was in store for. I had received the BLAD for Frankenstein. With Karen Elson spinning on vinyl, my wife and I flipped through this first quality production of my new upcoming book.

What is a blad? A blad is a booklet consisting of a few sample pages or chapters of a book with a proof of the front and back covers or book jacket. It serves as a preview of the book for promotional use, reviewers, and advance sales. Blad stands for Book (or, Basic) Layout And Design. Dictionary.com suggests that the word comes from bl(urb) + ad. It is sometimes written in all caps as BLAD. A blad is similar to a galley although the galley is typically a low-cost version of the entire publication sent out to book reviewers, rather than just a sample.

With a street date of August 2013, we are getting closer and closer to the day when this abomination (the result of a four year labor excursion) will become available for all to enjoy.

How Can We Make Nonprofit Consulting Transformational?

Late last year, we launched a survey with Shiree Teng and CompassPoint to learn more about how nonprofits are working with consultants. We wanted to know: Are nonprofits able to find the help they need? How is the working relationship between nonprofits and consultants? Is the work sticking? We had a small (264), but diverse (in size, age, and focus) set of responses. The majority of respondents had an operating budget greater than $1 million, with almost 20% in the […]

Supreme Court Ruled Against Confederate Flags as Free Speech

Supreme CourtThere is a sad irony that on the day after a Caucasian gunman, who is reportedly a white supremacist, opened fire and killed 9 people in an historic African American church, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that states do not have to allow Confederate flags on license plates to support free speech. The desire to keep promoting the Confederacy and other White supremacist types of messages continues to throw oil on the already aflame issue of racial harmony in the U.S.

The Supreme Court ruled that Texas did not infringe upon freedom of speech rights in rejecting the group’s license plate design. The 5-4 decision held that license plates are government speech, not private speech, as the group Sons of Confederate Veterans had asserted. The ruling supports the right of states to reject license plate designs with a swastika or a racial slur, which the justices worried could be forthcoming if license plates were determined to merit First Amendment protection.

Many states allow individuals or non-profit organizations to submit a design for a specialty plate, subject to state approval. The states like the practice because those license plates generate more revenue than traditional plates. The Sons of the Confederate Veterans submitted their design, which was intended to “honor” those who fought for the South. It became the first ever rejected by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which led to the lawsuit that eventually made its way to the Supreme Court.

In the majority opinion, Justice Stephen Breyer noted, “When the government speaks, it is not barred by the Free Speech Clause from determining the content of what it says.” He noted that a government can choose to promote a program or policy, but government speech does not have to represent all views.

A spokesperson for the Sons of Confederate Veterans actually claims that the court ruling hurts “mutual respect and bridge-building among Americans of different viewpoints.” They do not accept that some of us believe promoting the Confederacy is as heinous as promoting the Nazis, Al Qaeda or Boko Haram. There are definitely people who may be descendants of Hitler’s henchmen or support the cause of people who believe their race and beliefs are right and everyone else is wrong.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the dissent that this “establishes a precedent that threatens private speech that government finds displeasing.” During oral arguments in March, Chief Justice John Roberts had questioned whether the states should sell space on license plates at all. Additionally, the Supreme Court decision is likely to affect specialty license plate programs, including a similar legal battle over “Choose Life” plates concerning the issue of abortion. Today’s decision will give states the power to control what messages it will or will not permit.

Texas is not the only state asked to issue license plates adorned with Confederate battle flags by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Georgia has actually had one available since 2003. According to TIME, there are eight other states that offer Sons of Confederate license plates that display the flag: Alabama, Louisiana, Maryland (which actually was not in the Confederacy), Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Two states other than Texas rejected the flag design: Florida and Kentucky.

The Supreme Court ruled against viewing license plates featuring Confederate flags as protected free speech. While people may want to honor ancestors who fought in the war between the states, it is time for people to be embarrassed by what the Confederacy represents to many – a reminder of slavery – particularly with the continued examples of racial strife in recent years and yesterday.

Come Save The World With Us

guitar hero flyer [Email us for reservations]

"A good thing never ends." –Mick Jagger

Singer Sean Lennon (John Lennon’s son) told a news conference in July ‘07 that there is little room for innovation in the genre that his father helped make famous as a member of The Beatles.

“I mean rock ‘n roll is already kind of played out,” he said at the Montreal International Jazz Festival.

The death of Rock and Roll happened approximately around 1995 according to zeitgeist rocker Lenny Kravitz....

Well, we’re here to show you that Rock and Roll isn’t dead….

“As a musician, when I first learned about the popularity of games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band I was a little suspicious. …I must say that I was shocked by how much I really love Rock Band. I'll leave the philosophical discussions for another time, but the bottom line is that whether someone plays an instrument already or not, Rock Band is genuinely fun. Guitar Hero is nice too, but the ability to play with three friends, the inclusion of drums (my instrument of choice), and vocals really puts this one head and shoulders above anything else out there. For the skeptics: believe me I never thought I would say this; Rock Band is worth the money.” –Rocker/writer Derek Wilson 2/5/08

Derek Wilson isn’t the only one that has caught the “Rock Band Fever”. People have always been drawn to the rock 'n roll lifestyle, and each day thousands of wanna-be rock stars, are picking up guitars, drums, and mics and rock’n out to some of their favorite rock songs in their livings rooms. They may have traded those pesky tight leather pants for flannel pjs, but they are totally keeping rock and roll alive, and we want to help.

The rapid success of the video game Guitar Hero, followed by Rock Band is already “drumming up revenue for the music industry”. (USA Today) Virtual rockers downloaded roughly 2.5 million songs in the eight weeks since the game launched on the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 systems. So, why do Hip hoppers and R&B stars get to have all the fun in NYC nightlife? How many times to we have to sit through another rendition of ‘Umbrella’ upstairs at Cipriani’s karaoke on Sunday nights? Are we going to continue to trek down to Lafayette street on Monday nights to party at Butter, a club that the owners themselves have traded up on for greener pastures? A new wave of interactive music is beginning to take the world by storm.

There is no better place than New York City to debut the first upscale Rock Band night party. Even before Rock and Roll became “Rock and Roll” the very beginning seeds were being planted here in our city. Rock and Roll can trace its lineage to the old Five Points, Manhattan district of mid-19th century New York City, the scene of the first fusion of heavily rhythmic African shuffles and sand dances with melody-driven European genres, particularly the Irish jig. Rockers have ever since flocked to New York to play in front of the best crowds in the world. Now, some very special residents will get their own chance to play in front of a real crowd, in what couldn’t BE a better setting….surrounded by Mick Jagger himself, in a truly rare unaltered and pure form.

Jason Lee aka Jeff Babe from Almost Famous: “Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll…Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of thinking... and it's not about money and popularity….But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world... all of us together…”

Come save the world with us. Monday, March 3rd, 2008....the day we begin.

Sydney (シドニー, Shidonī)

  • City
  • January 26, 1788 U.C. (A.D.)
  • January 10, 0079 U.C.

Sydney was a city located along the southeastern coast of Australia. Prior to the One Year War, Sydney was the largest city in Australia, with a population of around 10 million. Although not its intended target, the city and the surrounding area were completely obliterated during Operation British. Trying to put a quick end to the war, the Principality of Zeon attempted to crash a depopulated colony into Earth Federation headquarters in Jaburo.

However, the heavily-damaged colony fell short of its intended target, instead shattering into large fragments due to the heat of re-entry over the Indian Ocean. The largest piece, comprising most of the main colony-cylinder itself after being shot at while over the Arabian Peninsula, fell directly onto Sydney. The strike caused a 60,000-megaton blast that completely vaporized the city and all of its citizens. Today, all that remains of Sydney is a 500-kilometer (310 mi) crater along Australia's coastline named the "Sydney Crater." Over time, water began to fill the crater, creating a new body of water later called Gulf of Sydney.

  • Though Sydney's destruction is considered indisputably canon, it was not until Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory that it was first established as the city destroyed in the colony-drop of the first series. This in itself is reflected in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, where Bernie claims he is from Sydney to a Federation soldier; as opposed to the soldier realizing Bernie was lying due to Sydney no longer existing, he caught onto Bernie when the latter mistakenly claimed it was winter there now (in reality, December is one of Australia's summer months).

When Cars Became Curvy

I distinctly remember cars suddenly going from boxy to curvy while I was in college. (I recall seeing a Ford Taurus on the Interstate during a drive home and thinking it looked like an overweight sports car.) Now, there's an article on the transition that explains the convergence of technology, style, and (sigh) government regulations that caused the transformation:

In Europe, though, fuel was always more expensive, and designers -- especially in Germany -- explored aerodynamic designs much earlier on, says Penny Sparke, author of A Century of Car Design. In the 1960s and '70s, luxury automakers like Porsche, BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz were some of the first to reintroduce curved exteriors. [links dropped]
Interestingly, the same thing, government-imposed fuel standards, that gave us this look also explains the equally baffling rise around the same time of SUVs. The lack of a need for trucks to have the same fuel efficiency as cars was a loophole that car makers and their customers happily exploited.

Weekend Reading

"The alternative to nagging is action, i.e., holding a person responsible for what they're NOT doing." -- Michael Hurd, in "Alternatives to Nagging" at The Delaware Wave

"[Deadlines] should be seen as solid stepping stones toward the fulfillment of whatever you wish to achieve in your life." -- Michael Hurd, in "The Benefits of Deadlines" at The Delaware Coast Press

"Fortunately, 13 states (including Kansas) have now declared that direct pay practices will not be subject to ... inappropriate [insurance] regulations." -- Paul Hsieh, in "3 Good Things in Health Care Innovation" at Forbes

"The Ninth Amendment protects against the doctrine now asserted by both the majority and Scalia: the vicious notion that individuals possess only those rights enumerated-expressly stated-in the Constitution." -- Harry Binswanger, in "On the Subject of Marital Freedom, Justice Scalia Is a Collectivist" at RealClear Markets

In More Detail

Harry Binswanger's piece is much-needed reading on a Supreme Court decision that would be marked "RAWR" (and given zero credit) in Naval Nuclear Power School: "Right Answer, Wrong Reason".

How the Modern Laptop Was Invented

Ars Technica tells us how the modern laptop came about:
Pick up your laptop. Actually, scratch that -- read this paragraph first, then pick up your laptop. You are holding one of the most advanced machines ever built in the history of humanity. It is the result of trillions of hours of R&D over tens of thousands of years. It contains so many advanced components that there isn't a single person on the planet who knows how to make the entire thing from scratch. It is perhaps surprising to think of your laptop as the pinnacle of human endeavour [sic], but that doesn't make it any less true: we are living in the information age, after all, and our tool for working with that information is the computer.
It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that my laptop has been the key to sanity for me during the infancies of my two children. The list of whom to thank would make any Oscar acceptance speech look terse.

Laser level tripod made from recycled parts

[msuzuki777] is a self-proclaimed “Lazy Old Geek” with way too much free time on his hands. He recently picked up a laser cross and figured that he would use some of that time to make a laser tripod for various projects around the house.

He pulled out an old camera tripod, and modified an unused CD jewel case so that it could be screwed onto the traditional camera mount. He added three bolts to the platform, on which he mounted another CD case, letting him adjust both the laser platform as well as the tripod.

He put together a simple power supply for the laser, and then mounted it on a pair of CDs sandwiched on top of one another. The CD platform was then popped onto the guts of an old CD player, allowing him to spin his laser pointer in any direction without having to re-level it.

The laser cross tripod certainly looks a bit complicated, but [msuzuki777] says it works a treat, allowing him to easily hang pictures and the like. He also mentions that he wants to throw an Arduino at it to automate the leveling process, which is something we’d love to see.

Blazing the natural trail

JĀSÖN® was born in California in 1959 when a group of independent thinkers sought to establish a new kind of personal care for themselves and their families. Taking the name JĀSÖN®, which means “Healer” in Greek, they rejected harsh, risky chemicals. Instead, they blended simple, healing ingredients to create soaps and lotions crafted according to the JĀSÖN® Code of Honor:

• Select safe, gentle and effective ingredients

• Rigorously test every formula to ensure safety and efficacy

• Never test on animals

• Constantly innovate and improve.

For over 50 years the makers of JĀSÖN® products have kept this code and committed themselves to the idea of wholesome personal care solutions that are safe for us, our families, and our planet.

About Jason - Products shot

While the big companies mixed new chemicals to create:

  • Perfumed skin creams that promised miracle results
  • Petroleum hair gunk for that swell greaser look
  • Shellacking hairspray for helmeted ladies’ hairdos
  • A group of independent thinkers drew upon the pioneering spirit that was so much a part of their California heritage and set out on a road of rediscovery. Theirs was a path back to natural ingredients proven safer and proven to work together in naturally effective ways.

    And so the JĀSÖN® (which means "healer" in Greek) brand was born.

    Natural ingredients were rounded up…

How to Remodel Your House by Thrifting: Part II - Craigslist/Ebay

Welcome to part 2 of our Remodeling your House by Thrifting. Today we are going to focus on what has been the biggest source of inexpensive materials for John and I in our own home remodel. If you missed out on Part 1 of the series make sure to stop over and check that out too!

If you aren't using craigslists yet to find materials for your remodel, you should. Here's just a couple of quick reasons why:

1. We know real estate is an investment and remodeling projects can add a serious boost to that investment. .

2. The less you put into an investment and the more you get of an investment the better, right? So if I put in $100 and get out $200 - you are like, awesome! But what if you put in that same $5 and still get out $200 ?  You'd be like, "I'll take door number 2 please!" That's what remodeling by thrifting has the ability to do for you.

3. It's all in the numbers. So, while talking numbers can be a bit uncomfortable let me give you an example of how we have saved money just on our craigslist purchases alone. When I did the math to figure out how much money  we have saved using Craigslist on our remodel just this year, the final number was around = $9,095!!

Here's the breakdown if you are curious. I tried as best I could do look up similar products to what we purchased. Not only were we able to get materials for cheaper, but in almost every setting we were able to get higher end nicer materials, than if we had bought budget grade new.

 Siding:  Brand New =  $7,000 | actual spent =  $1,000

New sink fixtures: Brand New = $ 100 | actual spent =  $10

New ceiling fans: Brand new = $300 | actual spent  =  $50

Washer and dryer: Brand New =   $2,000 actual spent  = $35 (these are front loading, high capacity energy efficient models)

New Kitchen sink and garbage disposal: - $350, actual spent, $20

New entry door - $300, actual spent - $15

Bathroom vanity with countertop and sink: Brand new = $200 | actual spent = $25

Total project savings from Craigslist = 9,095!!

So why isn't everyone taking advantage of what's right in front of them? I think the most obvious answer is they don't know how, or are timid to jump in. So, let's address some of the top concerns when it comes to thrifting on Craigslist, so you can really be smart about how you invest. Cause wouldn't rather, you know, not spend your life savings on a new entry door or a ceiling fan? Maybe that's just me....

Here are some top concerns people have when it comes to purchasing from craigslist.

1. Buying from strangers is scary

We've all heard the stories about that one lady who was brutally murdered while trying to buy an antique sewing machine etc. While I do acknowledge that this world can be a scary place, and there are most definitely scammers and not so nice people out on craigslist - I think some common sense principles really help this one out.

        - Create safe meeting places: If I can at all avoid it, I almost never give my personal address to a stranger. My all time favorite place to meet up with someone is right across from the police station. I'm talking 100 feet from the entrance of the police building. I know that some towns even provide safe meet ups for buying and selling from people you don't know. Check your local police department to see if this is a service they offer.

         - Don't go alone: If I have to go to someone's house to pick up an item (say a large remodeling item) I never go alone. Most often, I don't go at all as a woman. When we are talking about numbers,  I am just more prone to be a statistic than my husband.

     - Be aware of your surroundings and know basic self defense: I think this is important whether or not you are meeting up with people. There are many things we do in our lives that put us at risk to danger whether we know it or not. Increasing our situational awareness and understanding how to react to emergency situations is always helpful.

  - If it seems shady, or a too good to be true deal - figure out why before proceeding: Sometimes people legitimately don't know the worth of what they are selling, or need to declutter their lives rapidly. Those looking for a deal can benefit greatly. However, thieves and not so nice people also like to offer too good to be true deals. Now, anyone can make up a story, but I've noticed that scammers tend to have stories that don't match up and generally  seem fishy right from the start.

If a large amount of money is involved, don't bring the money with you - Inspect the item first, assess the situation, then go to an atm and get the cash. I've also been in situations where I've paid half, inspected the product, and then paid the other half. This gives both parties insurance and a way to move forward.

2. Used stuff is gross

dirty duck

Now I realize everyone feels little bit different about the thrifting lifestyle. I'm assuming because you are reading this article, you either are someone generally down with the occasional thrift store trip, or you are just generally intrigued by the concept. I think when thinking about used items, especially items for your house, think about the house you just purchased. Unless you bought a newly constructed home - everything in the house you bought it used. Walls, toilets, light fixtures, vents, appliances, carpet...everything. In fact, if your house is like mine - some of the house has probably been used for 30 + years. So replacing it with something that's only been used for 6 is still a definite upgrade.

With that said, some used stuff is gross. Here's my top used materials list that I tend to proceed more cautiously before purchasing. The great thing is oftentimes, these materials are listed for brand new at a way discounted price.

  • Toilets
  • Carpet
  • Venting  (range hoods, bathroom vents)
  • Bathtubs
  • Dishwasher
  • (used ) Plumbing
  • (Used) Electrical
  • (Used) Siding
  • (Used) Windows

Now all of these under certain circumstances may be ok to purchase used, but these are the areas I would generally proceed with more caution.

3. Buying used is risky and not worth my money

There is something very risky about buying things that don't come with a guarantee or warranty. However, peace of mind can be quite expensive. I love this article by blogger, Mr. Money Mustache. In it he talks about the illusion of peace of mind, and how oftentimes we throw alot of money away on insurance and warranties to obtain a perceived "safety net." Now, I'm not against all insurance - but could I suggest that sometimes weighing the risk may be worth it?

The questions I ask myself is, "Am I prepared to lose this ____ amount of money in order to take this risk? What is my back up plan if this is completely a dud?

I'll walk you through a recent purchase John and I made. We bought washer and dryer off of craigslist to replace our current models. We needed ones that could stack, front loading, and we need a different dryer. We knew we could sell our set for at least $175 and had it listed for sale before we even purchased the new set. We knew the set we were buying had some issues with the washer. We found a set on Craigslist for $200. So we would, at the end of the day, spend $25 bucks.  We decided spending $25 on even just a dryer would be worth it - even if we needed to spend full price for a new washer. In the end I spent 2 days on the phone with repair people and $10 for a new part and we had a fully working set for $35.

4. It's such a hassle to have to search, wait and meet up for materials this way.

Yes, yes it is. There's no way around it; purchasing and remodeling your house this way is not going to be the most efficient way to come about materials. I've tried to streamline this process as much as possible by planning ahead. If you want to read more about some of these strategies check out Part I in my series. With that said, John and I have certainly passed up lots of good deals for the name of efficiency. This again goes back to weighing the cost, risk and worth of the item. That set of tiles might be perfect, but if it's an hour and a half away, is it worth the time to go get it?

5. I don't even know how to get started

  •  Using craigslist, in your town and area is a great place to start. Don't just search within the area you think the item might be in, but do an entire search of your area for the item. I also recommend searching other terms. For example when searching for a fridge, search refrigerator, fridge, kitchen appliances, appliance set, and kitchen remodel. Sometimes gems can be overlooked when they are listed poorly or difficult to find.

  • Check surrounding towns and keep an eye on places you travel frequently. I watch towns about 3 hours from me in every direction. While I wouldn't make a trip that far to pick up a used doorknob, I might make the trip if someone was giving away free granite countertops (true story, someone was -I just wasn't fast enough on it).
  • Download the craigslist app and set alerts for things you are looking for. This is how I found our siding, and it was so helpful.
  • Call and ask for pictures on the posts that don't have photos. I'm so tempted to just skip over posts that don't have any pictures associated with them, but so is everyone else. I know if I go the extra little bit and ask for photos I can find things other people haven't snatched up.
  • Don't be afraid to haggle. If this is an uncomfortable practice for you, be sure to check out part 1 in this series where I go  more into depth about how to do this.

Final thoughts

While craigslist has been the main vehicle of shopping for us, we have also had great success with buy/sell/trade group on facebook in our area. You can now even set alerts within these different groups.

Other place to also try:

  • Ebay local classifieds
  • Your newspaper classified section
  • Reddit local groups

How to Remodel your House by Thrifting - Part 1

Unexpectedkindness is themost powerful,least costly, andmost underratedagent of humanchange.png

Janelle here!  So truth be told, I'm a bit of a bloodhound when it comes to finding a deal.  Not sure what it says about me, and it makes me feel all uncomfortably materialistic, but, it's true. Whether it's sweaters, baby gear or makeup, I just don't pay full price for it. I can't remember the last time I bought clothes for myself(or family) at full price.

Now that we are knee deep in renovating our houses it was only a matter of weeks before I began to sniff out the best places to find discount materials for remodeling. Let me pass on my learnings and savings to you. :)

Garage Sales

garage sale

When John and I were first dating, I asked if we could go to a garage sale together. He rolled his eyes, agreed, and I took him along. I don't think he knew what he had agreed to. " You ain't garage saleing with your grandma anymore!!!!" He calls me the pirate queen of the garage sale seas (just laugh along, he thinks he's funny :)  Sometimes friends and family have asked to bring me along to show them the ropes. Since I can't come to your house with  a starbucks to go and a list of garage sales, I'll just have to pass on my knowledge to you with a bullet list (you can pour coffee for yourself before reading if you want to pretend)

Here's some garage sale tips for AWESOME finds on remodeling materials (and really anything)

  • Make a list...and TRY to keep it - John's laughing at me as I write this. I'm kinda bad at this one. But in my defense...most people at garage sales don't come with a list at all!!  At least I mostly stick to my list.  My list is not something I come up with the night before I go out to a garage sale. I develop the list year long. For example, I know my son will need new shoes in the fall. It goes on the list now in January and I begin watching for shoes at all my sources. During garage sale season (May-August) I watch for shoes, and will buy them if I find them at a garage sale. I generally try to keep my list only 6months out. This means I'm not buying something for our house I know we won't use for another 3 years. This is how we found the siding we used on our house .  The siding went on the list and I started watching. I found it a month later, and we bought it. We didn't do the siding for another 5 months from when we bought it.

  • Map It out -  Before I ever leave the house in the morning I check the local newspaper, craigslist listings and a few facebook groups that I follow for any garage sale listings. I write down the addresses for all the listings that sound like they have materials from my list. I star ones that sound extra promising. Then, if I'm feeling really dedicated, I'll punch in the addresses to google maps. I quickly figure out a general loop that hits most of them in roundhouse order and then number my addresses based off that loop. When I'm in the car I go by my numbers, and it takes me in a way more efficient pattern. Time is money when it comes to garage sales, so you don't want to waste it driving back and forth across town.
  • Get comfortable haggling - This comes in handy especially if you are shopping near the end of the garage sale day. If you've never put on your own garage sale, just know, most people spend HOURS tagging and pricing all that inventory you are looking through. When 4pm rolls around and half of it is still there, they don't want to put it back in their house. They also don't really want to lose money off of it and just donate it. Here's some general haggling guidelines

- "If I buy all of these _________ will you give me a discount? "

- Round down . Instead of $4.50 ask if they'll do it for $4.00. Fifty cents might not seem like a lot, but if you do it every time you buy something at a garage sale, it's like using a coupon to buy milk, every time. It adds up

- I noticed this "defect" would you consider doing less for it? - Be careful not to insult their item, since it may have sentimental value.

  • Do a drive by - Remember how I said time is money when it comes to garage sales? The time it takes you to get out, park the car, walk up the driveway, and locate the materials you are looking for - you may loose out on what you were really looking for in the first place. You also risk the chance of impulse buying when you go to a garage sale that doesn't have anything that catches your eye from the drive by.  So I recommend if you aren't sure about a sale to drive by the house slowly (like a straight up creeper friends!) and look to see if you see anything.
  • Avoid the impulse buy: This goes a little back to the list making. Let me just say that there are weeks that I have hit up garage sales every Saturday and never bought anything. It can feel a little discouraging to go to all that work of mapping everything out, and hitting all duds. But, what money are you saving by just buying things you don't really need? I'm still developing self-control in this area. This is especially important to practice if you are going to a neighborhood garage sale. I almost never go to neighborhood sales without a very clear list in my mind.

Match your merchandise with your neighborhood: Now that you have your list, you need to find the people who have those things. Are you looking for a pottery barn rug and decor from anthropologie? Watch closely for sales in fancier and higher end neighborhoods. There aren't a lot around my area that hit the really high end, but a few years ago I hit some in the suburbs of chicago and I walked away with decor and home furnishings from west elm and pottery barn for only a few bucks. Are you looking for a kitchsy item or something with a distressed look? Antiques often come from people who well...are antiqued. Figure out where the "older" more established neighborhoods are. For example, we live right behind a retirement home. Their clothing racks usually aren't worth glancing at but I have discovered gorgeous antiques and jewelry.

A few specific places you are going to want to look when looking for building supplies and home decor are moving sales and estate sales. These sometimes will have hardware and building materials.

Alrighty, those were my main points on hitting up garage sales, but we are just getting started friends! My thrifting roots go deep and my accumlated knowledge...vast :) Check back soon for part 2 of how to remodel your house by thrifting.

A Little is a Lot

Sometimes (times like NOW) I feel like I don't accomplish much. My progress in my job, in my relationships, in my knitting, in my fitness goals certainly in some of my financial goals . . . every accomplishment seems small and takes forever and seems LESS somehow than what I had hoped.

This is one of those weeks - a big disappointment in Bob's job search. A job he really wanted, and didn't get. Looking for a job is frankly the HARDEST job anyone can ever do if they're doing it right. Ughh. I know there's a reason, and who knows, maybe something even better around the next corner, but it's still disappointing.

But I am trying to focus on every little thing that I do that contributes toward our ultimate goals. Every time (like today over lunch) when it's too cold to exercise outside, but my coworker and I go for a brisk walk at the mall instead of chowing down at a fast food restaurant. Every time I let my daughter take on responsibility instead of doing it for her. Every time I back down from an argument and work toward compromise instead. Each time I knit 3 really good rows on a cardigan sleeve, even though I had to rip out 20 rows before it that were awry.

These are all LITTLE things. But once a few years ago, I listened to an inspiring motivational tape where the speaker kept reminding us, "A little is a LOT." Doing a little - just a little - more than one would normally do toward the GOOD creates an impetus that often is just what was needed to create a breakthrough. A little is a lot.

So the little bit I've done and keep doing in so many realms of my life really ARE having a big effect.

What little thing are you doing that you want to do more of? What little thing are you most proud of today?

Dorothy has left a new comment on your post "A Little Is a Lot":

It does get discouraging sometimes doesn't it? I've been trying to improve my diet and eat healthier and sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back. One thing I am proud of is my spinning. I've been really working hard and I think I'm almost to the point of spinning something that will actually be knitable!

The Daily Telegraph obituary 20 July 1998

Hans Feibusch
Painter who had work included by the Nazis in their 1937 exhibition of Degenerate Art and whose mural in St Ethelburga's was blown
up by the IRA.
HANS FEIBUSCH, the German-born artist who has died aged 99, could claim the distinction of having had a painting shown in the Nazis' exhibition of Decadent Art in 1937; by that time, however, he was already living in England, where he would establish a new reputation as a muralist in Anglican churches.
Though Feibusch had never attempted a mural before coming to Britain in 1933, he had been fascinated during his travels in Italy during the 1920s by the work of Mantegna and Piero della Francesca. From the start, therefore, he was able to bring a new flair and boldness to what had become a rather timid and tired English tradition.
Indeed, the uncompromising nature of his work sometimes aroused criticism. In 1956, for example, there were complaints that Feibusch's figure of Christ, designed for the parish church of Goring, West Sussex, was un-Christian and "almost brutal". Feibusch loftily returned: "There is nothing specifically Christian in The Last Judgement of Michelangelo. It has always been my aim to follow the advice of Leonardo da Vinci, and bring out the essential Christ-like qualities in the figure itself." Dr George Bell, Bishop of Chichester, upheld him.
Feibusch was able to complete some 40 murals before his eyesight failed in the 1970s. Particularly notable are his Pilgrim's Progress at St Elizabeth, Eastbourne, a church now under threat of demolition; his Crucifixion at St John's, Waterloo Road, London; his Baptism of Christ at Chichester Cathedral; his Christ Surrounded by Angels at St Mark's, Coventry; and his Trinity in Glory and Stations of the Cross at St Alban, Holborn. But his Crucifixion at St Ethelburga, Bishopsgate, perished after the IRA blew up that church in 1993.
Feibusch executed a number of secular murals, the most striking of which is his gigantic History of Newport (Monmouthshire), completed in 1964 for the civic centre. The work comprises six paintings, each 18 ft high, on the two
50 ftft walls of the landing; altogether they contain 120 figures, slightly bigger than life size, in illustration of life in Newport since Roman times. Feibusch deliberately reduced obvious perspective to a minimum, achieving an impression of distance largely through colour. In this way he obtained something of the effect of a tapestry.
Feibusch took intense delight in his murals, as a man who had discovered what he was born to do. "To stand before an empty wall as in a trance," he rhapsodised, "to let shapes cloudily emerge, to draw scenes and figures, to let light and dark rush out of the surface, to make them move outward or recede into the depths, this was bliss." Yet it was fulfilment he might never have discovered but for the advent of Hitler.
The son of a dentist, Hans Feibusch was born in Frankfurt on August 15 1898 - when Cezanne and Gauguin were still painting. After fighting on the Russian front in the First World War, he studied art in Munich, Berlin, Rome and Paris.
Back in Frankfurt in the late 1920s, Feibusch came under the influence of the German Expressionists, and in particular of Max Beckmann. "I painted natural objects, or perhaps fantastic ones," he remembered, "but reduced to simple forms and bright colours holding a balance between what seemed to me the spiritually significant and the fussy detail." One of his paintings, The Fishnmonger, won the German Grand State Prize for Painters, awarded by the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin.
Shortly after Hitler achieved power in January 1933, a new member joined Feibusch's art group in Frankfurt. At first he appeared anonymous, though always ready with excuses for failing to produce any work. But as the new regime began to tighten its grip, the newcomer appeared in Nazi uniform. "You, you, you," he shouted, pointing his riding whip at the Jewish members of the group, "you can just go home and forget about art. You will never show anything again."
Though Feibusch stayed to finish a commission for the portrait of an opera singer, he saw that the game was up in Germany. France was too close for comfort, Italy seemed "unsuitable"; and having been brought up as a liberal Jew, he felt no overwhelming attraction to Palestine. On the other hand, he was engaged to an Englishwoman. He therefore became one of the 200 or so German artists who fled to Britain during the 1930s.
The Nazis' exhibition of Degenerate Art took place in 1937. "From now on," Hitler explained at the opening, "we are going to wage a merciless war of destruction against the last remaining elements of cultural disintegraton. From now on - you can be certain - all those mutually supporting cliques of chatterers, dilettantes and art forgers will be picked up and liquidated."
The exhibition was divided into various sections, including "Vilification of German Heroes of the World War", "Mockery of German Womanhood" and "Complete Madness". Feibusch qualified under "Revelation of the Jewish Racial Soul", with a canvas entitled Two Floating Figures. He was in good company: Chagall and Kokoschka also featured in the exhibition.
Afterwards, the Nazis sent some of the paintings to auction in Switzerland; the rest, including Feibusch's work, were ceremonially burned in the yard of the Berlin Fire Brigade. Other paintings of his were removed from the Stadelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt and never seen again.
In Britain Feibusch at first kept body and soul together by designing bookjackets, and posters for Shell and the London Underground. He also undertook work for the Modernist architects Maxwell Fry and Charles Reilly. Another architect, Frankland Dark, initiated his new career by commissioning a mural for a chapel at Colliers Wood.
This painting was admired by Kenneth Clark and by Bishop Bell, who wrote to Feibusch in 1939 asking him to undertake another mural at St Wilfrid's, Brighton. "Does he know that I am a Jew?," Feibusch inquired. Bell did. Under his influence, Feibusch adopted Anglicanism. He had already become a British subject in 1938.
Feibusch's sight failed in 1973, though it was partially restored by the ministrations of the ophthalmic surgeon Patrick Trevor-Roper, brother of the historian. Though Feibusch did no more murals, he took up sculpture; one of his statues, of Christ, is in Ely Cathedral.
In old age, after seeing a film about the Holocaust he executed a series of paintings which sought to recapture that nightmare - "the hunting, the running away, the fall into terror," as he described them - in burning Expressionist colours. In 1992 he reconverted to Judaism.
After the Second World War Feibusch had gradually regained something of the status which he had enjoyed as a young man in Germany. He was accorded a restrospective exhibition in Frankfurt in 1986 and three years later awarded the German Grand Cross of Merit in 1967. In Britain in 1995, Paul Werth organised a touring show of his paintings, sketches and other work entitled The Heat of Vision. A collection of his work is kept at Pallant House, Chichester.
Hans Feibusch married, in 1935,
Sidonie Gestetner, daughter of David Gestetner, inventor of the duplicator. She died in 1963; they had no children.

10 thoughts on “Watching Sponge Bob Squarepants”

  1. We not only watch it with her, sometimes my hubby will watch it w/o her as well. I don’t go that far. It’s one of her shows that I don’t mind, bu I won’t watch it if she’s not around. It’s bad enough that I have an opinion on the characters. Patrick is mean…& dumb.
    .-= Kim´s last blog ..I Have an Interview! =-.

  2. I’m with you. When my kids were younger they mostly watched educational channels. Now that they are a little older (13 & 11) I gave in and unblocked the Disney channels. In some ways I wish I hadn’t. But they often choose to watch educational channels instead. The Science Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Channels are big favorites. Oh, and we have the Sponge Bob movie too, and it’s amazing how lost it gets. Hmmm. Strange.

  3. […] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Brandy, Rosaline Burkholder. Rosaline Burkholder said: RT @brandyellen SpongeBob Squarepants Bad for Children? | Happily Blended […]

  4. I don’t mind if my kids watch shows with no educational content, since don’t believe tv is a very good way to learn anyway. Even PBS should be considered entertainment, rather than education. I wouldn’t give my kids carrot cake for dinner just because it has carrots in it, either. When I let them watch tv (30 minutes a day, if we have time), I do it with the understanding that it doesn’t have any real value except as recreation.

    OTOH, there is no SpongeBob in this house. We have a no-potty-humor policy, and SpongeBob is pretty crude. So are a lot of other “kid’s shows”, so we screen carefully before our kids watch.
    .-= Cindy´s last blog ..Movie Moments Giveaway =-.

  5. We don’t even have cable or satellite. But when we did, my son didn’t really care to watch TV at all. He wanted to play. On occasion, he goes with his big sister to her babysitting job and gets to watch Spongebob and other shows. And when he spends the night at my moms, he gets to watch PBS in the morning. I have seen the show and don’t really care for it. I actually like the educational kids programming on PBS and Noggin. I think they are cute. So if we ever get cable again, he’ll be allowed to watch that stuff. But as far as Spongebob goes…I just find it annoying and would prefer that my son does not watch it or anything like it. Just me though…I know that everyone is different.

  6. I’ve got 4 kids, ages 14, 11, 7, and 4. We are big time Spongebob fans and I will even watch him when the kids aren’t around. But that isn’t all we watch. We also watch Disney and PBS, they do have great educational shows. No, SB isn’t educational, but he is very entertaining, that is for sure. Since I have older kids and little ones, we mix it up.

I do love a good clear out

I've spent a good part of today having a clear through some of my craft items that i don't use any more. Turns out I've got quite a lot i don't need lol. I'm just sorting things now into lots and then I'll be listing it all on eBay. I'm going to be listing cheap as I'd like it to go to a new home and give me some space for the things i am using more now. I'll post links when it's all listed!

A Smoking Scandal
A Smoking Scandal

A Smoking Scandal

Ray's Rave!

Tue, 11/29/2016 - 14:17 -- Ray

A recent headline read:

"Anti-smoking drug CHAMPIX killed my son!"

Very sad because there are safe (but forbidden to be advertised and therefore unknown) HERBAL alternatives!

A mother claims her son took his own life whilst on the anti-smoking drug Champix as alleged pharmaceutical giants Pfizer continue to peddle that and other poisons. Despite knowing of the suicide risks, they do not put that warning on the label!

This is outrageous!

When we at the Happy Herb Company are not even permitted to advertise any alternative to smoking at all!

Many people have got off tobacco by using Passionflower, yet passionflower, the leaf from the passionflower fruit vine is banned in Australia in cigarette form! Nevertheless, Passionflower rolled up into a cigarette will help overcome cravings for tobacco.

Coltsfoot, another fantastic herb,actually cleanses the lungs, Lobelia inflata counters the nicotine cravings.

Damiana - another lung cleanser is helpful too as it gives you a happy feeling on smoking it!

We have most of these herbs contained in a special Quit-Nic smoking mix until the TGA banned us from using the word and now we call it No-Nic.

It's bloody ridiculous I know when nicotine addiction is killing thousands of people, yet none of these alternative herbs are addictive at all!

I also know somebody who loves to have a smoke of Mugwort before bed as it gives him a good night’s sleep and also keeps him off smoking other addictive substances like tobacco or even cannabis.

The present smoking laws around Australia are so wrong and ignorant!

Sadly the government laws under influence of the corrupt pharmaceutical companies lobbying are,quite frankly, causing suffering and death.

Herb lore not herb law!
