Rent yourself an Indianapolis apartment and you'll find yourself in one of the fastest growing parts of the United States. With its easygoing appeal and welcoming disposition, it's no secret why people keep on choosing this city to settle in. Indianapolis sits near the exact center of the state of Indiana. From here, well-traveled roads lead in from all corners of the country. That's why Hoosiers here know their city as the "The Crossroads of America."
Indianapolis was chosen as the capital of Indiana in 1820. Its name literally means "Indiana City"-not the most creative moniker, but there are worse problems. It was here that the first public rail passenger terminal in the United States opened. Indianapolis also did well with the auto industry, giving Detroit a run for its money. The city suffered from urban decay in the 1970s and '80s, but concentrated revitalization efforts begun in the 1990s helped revive the area.
Today, Indianapolis is drawing in everyone from young Turks to retirees. It's an easy to navigate city, with its "Mile Square" central area set out in a grid. There are big old mansions split into apartments in Old Northside, downtown lofts in Fountain Square, and trendy nightspots in Broad Ripple Village.
Historically, Indianapolis has been known as a manufacturing-focused city. That's been changing, however. Employment has diversified into areas including education, social services, health care, tourism, retail trade, and finance. Indianapolis is also a distribution hub for many firms-you'll find FedEx, Amazon.com, Foxconn, and other facilities here. Some of the major companies based in Indianapolis include Eli Lilly and Company, WellPoint, Dow AgroSciences, and Marsh Supermarkets.
Of the institutes of higher education in Indianapolis, the best known is Butler University. Founded in 1855, Butler gets a lot of respect for its competitive basketball and volleyball programs. Also in town is Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, which includes the Robert H. McKinney School of Law and the Herron School of Art and Design. Prospective students may also want to investigate Marian University or the private University of Indianapolis.
Living in Indianapolis is affordable. That holds true if you're looking to rent an old stately home or a modern apartment in a skyscraper. The rent for a one-bedroom here ranges from just $600 to $890 a month-and prices are still dropping. Part of the reason for this affordability is the city's high vacancy rate-13.5 percent in 2011 for rental properties.
You might be surprised by how much there is to do in Indianapolis. A good place to start would be the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. This path connects the five different Cultural Districts downtown. While you're at it, take a paddleboat along the Central Canal and enjoy the scenic greenery. Then there's the Indianapolis Zoo, the Circle Center mall, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which offers free admission.
One of the city's biggest draws is indubitably the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (and Hall of Fame Museum). This track hosts three major races each year. The Indianapolis Colts play pro gridiron at Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Pacers shoot pro hoops at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The NCAA Hall of Champions is also in Indianapolis.
Any list of special events for this city has to start with the Indianapolis 500, which speeds by in May. The National Hot Rod Association U.S. Nationals also burns through Indianapolis once a year. If auto racing isn't your thing, try Indy Jazz Fest, the Indiana State Fair, the Indianapolis Theatre Fringe Festival, the Indiana Black Expo, or the Midwest Music Summit.

trust me dude,
it is a lot harder than you think.
i used to be a lego addict as well.
i think i still am, i still go through the lego aisle at every store.
the ship is huge.
i just got home and we started at eleven.
and were just done with the mainframe and stand and engines.
its huge dude.
were doing a thing where my bros camera is on a tripod looking at us taking a picture every 1 minute and 30 seconds and so far it looks really cool when he scrolls really fast through it.
on wednesday were gonna complete it i think.
hell yeah. make a cool time lapse movie and post it up. we missed you at manic tonight. i'm cookin up a caravan with some oc guys to come out next week, so count me in. i'll be there wednesday too.

awesome man sounds good!
Nice build buddy. I just got my mk2 2 weeks ago. So now my fun begins Time to part out all the unnecessary
awwwwwwwww yeah!
thanks man. what are the details on your's?
when i make mine.
its gonna be an mk1 with a frame, engine, drivetrain, one seat, tranny, steering wheel, 4 steelies and YEAH!! GO KART!!!
its a black 1992 8v 5 spd. got it for $500 bucks. now i just need to find a donor 16 2.0 aba for the swap. Shes in prety bad shape on the outside but on the inside shes immaculate. Ill be working on her tonight.
Last edited by Drone; 06-24-2008 at 05:52 PM. Reason: ninja edit
awwwwwwwww yeah!
yeah mine had a super clean interior too. i just got all the seatbelts dialed in recently. the back ones were giving me trouble so i totally disassembled them and now they're fine. the engine was the worst though. it's a 2.0 16V as seen in the pictures, but it got a total rebuild from the ground up. i might get a mk2 jetta for a daily driver once i sell my mk4, in which case i'm considering swapping my 16V that's almost done into that and taking whatever is in the jetta (hopefully another 16V) and rebuilding the internals and getting it ready for a big turbo to put in the gti.
one day daniel, we are putting my 1.8t in that mk2 when i get my 3.2 BiT
offer taken
i'm gonna go have another look at the progress on the motor today while my muffler place across the street puts my ish back on. bolts and headstuds shouldn't be taking this long, but i had a dream last night that included my assembled motor in it, so i have a good feeling about it
when do you want to trade wheels for a weekend?
i would of said this weekend.
but we can always do it next weekend or something.
so..... it didn't make it to the big gtg haha.. no biggie though. as the meet grew closer and closer, i knew it was too far of a stretch.
anyways, my point for this update is as follows:
my connecting rods finally got finished up yesterday, so i picked them up today along with the rest of the parts that needed balancing and dropped them off at the balance shop. according to the balancing guy, they should be done friday, but as i've found with dealing with other car guys, i should give plenty of time for overhead.
in the meantime, i've found front fogs and turns along with a brand new set of fuel lines, all for a more than decent price, and those should be out this week as well. i'm tired of jinxing the progress of this car, so i'll say that it should be out of the garage sometime in the next year. but seriously, anytime before christmas will be awesome.
since i've done almost everything i can on the car up to this point, i've been concentrating on the mk4 recently, which is going in to the body shop for a few days next week to have the rocker panel repaired (stupid oem jack ) along with a pair of sideskirts and a front lip that both need paint.
i've also changed my mind about the purpose the mk2 will serve once it's on the road since the mk4 is just about to roll over 80K and seems to gain a new squeak or rattle every week. i'll go into that sometime later since i have an angel game to get ready for, but stay tuned for more since the engine looks like it will finally be finished.

Fine wood, predictably good dimensions and stability, and it looks stunningly good as well. Joseph Vallis
And it does it very well. Cheap too!
I was surprised by the short sections of kerfing. It is shorter than other suppliers so you need twice as much.
How refreshing to see such clean and accurate cuts on the kerfing yet be strong enough to be pliable in tight curves. I've bought these before from StewMac and I will keep doing so.
Why bother making your own!!!!
I got the mahogany reversed kerfing and they look awesome. Their shape made the clamping easiest.
Very high quality kerfing. Do not miss it for your next project. Here's my triolian resonator guitar reproduction. Hold a steam curved 1/4" ash with titebond on a birch plywood.
After spending too much time making my own linings, I decided to try out the reverse mahogany linings from Stew Mac. What a time saver, and way more consistant than what I can make. Never again will I have to make them.I used them on an ABG, recently, "perfect".
I have used the Mahogany reverse kerfed linings in guitars and ukuleles (for ukes they need to be trimmed down in height) and they work great. I'd rather pay a few $$$ then make these suckers ever again.
I ordered some mahogany kerfings for repair of old Framus 12 string guitar. They worked perfect and I am able to used this guitar after laying around for over 15 years. Great service thank you.

Read on to see how much this rustic Colorado wedding at Rubywood House cost. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
Before even assessing what money we had to pull together for a wedding (which was limited) ... Ryan and I discussed 'if we could have anything, what would it be?' for the first month of our engagement. We decided on a getaway to the mountains with our loved ones. Once we started to crunch the numbers, we realized how feasible our dream was! A big city (Dallas) venue was an average $6,000 starting cost for 4 hours ... and no one had eaten yet. However, our getaway mountain mansion (Rubywood House) was only $4,450 (and that was for 16 adults to stay 4 days!). At that point, it was a no brainer. A dream wedding does not have to break the bank. A dream wedding is budget friendly if you do your homework, make friends with vendors, plan, and stay organized!
Ryan and I were very strategic with our money; we wanted to maximize our dollar. So for things like renting sound equipment, we found it was cheaper and smarter to buy a Bose home stereo with an auxiliary cord to plug and play... which of course is still a nice addition to our first place. For other 'traditional' items like buying corsages for moms, dads, brothers, etc ... we chose to spend our money on things that wouldn't die! So we used the same price-point ($25 per person) to buy sentimental gifts that would remind them of our trip together! Code word: ETSY. Ryan and I were also very strategic with our wedding decorations. We bought items that could be 'used again' and look great as decor in our home!

Since the making of images is an intellectual process, the education of the artist should go considerably beyond instruction of technique and media. The artistic process, at its best, is creative intuitive, analytical and highly sophisticated. It requires all the knowledge, discipline, sensitivity and awareness of liberally educated intelligence. Students in the program will gain the technical and intellectual preparation necessary for the development of their own personal creative solutions and the means to make better-informed career decisions.

Publication: theday.com
New London — Police Tuesday recovered the body of a city man who they say appears to have committed suicide off City Pier.
Police taped off the downtown pier and late Tuesday afternoon were awaiting the medical examiner's office to retrieve the body.
Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard said the 59-year-old man left a note for his family indicating that he planned to commit suicide. Further investigation led police to City Pier, Reichard said, where officers found evidence that someone had entered the water. The Coast Guard and state police dive team were called for assistance, Reichard said, and the body was recovered around 2 p.m.
The body will go to the medical examiner's office to determine a cause and manner of death, Reichard said.
What do you think is the most important issue for the Connecticut 2013 legislative session?

No matter what age they are, it is difficult to convince children to embrace a good oral care regimen, especially as the morning rush of the back to school season begins. Dr. Jennifer Salzer, dentist and mom to four children under the age of 10, knows first hand about the challenges of establishing healthy habits at a young age.
Thanks to Crest and Oral-B, I was recently given the chance to interview Dr. Salzer, and ask her a few questions that I had regarding oral care for Rylie and Bryce. I wanted to see if she had any tips on getting my kids to brush their teeth properly and let me have "my turn", and I wanted to know when the kids should start seeing a dentist. You can hear her answers on this short video:
I am definitely going to be using her tips! Rylie has been to the dentist with me for "fun visits", but it is time I get her in for a real visit. Bryce will be going soon also, at least to start his "fun visits" and get him ready to sit in that chair by himself.
We received a Crest/Oral-B gift pack as part of this promotion. It came with several of the Oral-B Stages products that Dr. Salzar talked about - Disney Princess Flossers, Stage 2 Toothpaste, and a toothbrush from each Stage 1-3.
Oral-B Stages, dentists #1 recommended toothbrush brand for children, not only has kid appeal but is specially designed to address children's dentition, dexterity and development as they grow. Oral-B also offers kid-friendly Stages toothpaste to complement their brushing routine.
Since Rylie and Bryce are both in Stage 2 (2-4 years old) we split up the products for them. Bryce got the toothbrush, and Rylie got the flossers and the toothpaste. They were both very eager to use their new Oral-B products!
We also received an assortment of products from the Pro-Health FOR ME line from Crest and Oral-B.
Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health FOR ME is the first and only complete line of oral care products for tweens (kids 8+) created to protect all the areas dentists check in kids including fighting cavities, strengthening teeth enamel and freshening their breath.
My kids are a few years away from using these products, but we definitely know a big sister or two that would love to try them out.
Visit Crest and Oral-B online to get more answers to your dental care questions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BacktoTory second choice but turns out better than the first!
My first choice was the Amanda Double-zip- but, it has, what I consider, a design flaw... and was returned. The strap is connected to the lining inside. The lining pulls out when the bag is lifted by the strap- even without anything in the bag. The one I received also had very crooked and uneven seems on one side .
This Classic Hobo is great. The size is perfect and the removable strap is attached to the outside of the bag- as it should have been on the Double-zip. But, you can also carry it as a satchel or put the handles on your shoulder- as well as carrying it cross-body. The bag is roomy and can be used daytime for work or casual weekends. Try it! You will not be sorry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Totes Stylish
I am very impressed with the quality of this bag and love the gold hardware. Bigger than appeared on the site, so a substantial size purse that holds a lot of items. Really like how even though slouchy, it is still structured and polished.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JB06 Great Bag!
I purchased this bag in store this past weekend and I love it. The size is perfect - not too big, not too small. It's a really heavy, durable bag and the leather is nice and thick. I'm very happy with the purchase and the matching Continental wallet is a great addition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kaitlin22 The PERFECT BAG!
I had been wanting this purse for months now and as soon as it arrived I loved it! I carry it with me to places that I don't even need to just because I cannot put it down! The one downside is that the purse itself is somewhat heavy even without anything in it. Other than that it is perfect!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steph bought when it first came out
I fell in love with this bag back when it originally came out in 2010 and knew I had to have it. I finally was able to justify the purchase when my birthday rolled around in December 2010 and I have carried it ever since. I LOVE THIS BAG and am seriously considering buying another in the same color to serve as the replacement when my original finally wears out. The Amanda hobo is the PERFECT SIZE for an everyday bag (unless you have little kids) and I love its versatility.
The only real downsides to this bag are 1) the cloth interior, which is sub-par quality for a bag so expensive, and 2) after a while, the shoulder strap will start to leave marks across clothes. It's hard to tell whether it's just gotten dirty or whether the actual material is starting to rub off. Either way, this bag is worth it and easily remains my absolute favorite handbag of all time.

Rated 2 out of 5 Love the look of the bad, but quality is fair
I purchased this bag in driftwood. Received the bag and loved the color and style. I have carried the bag for about a month now and it is showing serious signs of wear. I have not been rough on the bag, but there are several marks where the leather has already been damaged. Wish the leather was higher quality and would not have shown signs of wear so quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 Love It :)
I just bought this handbag in black and I LOVE IT perfect size and perfect handbag for the fall. I would recommend this handbag I only bought it because my sister in law has it and I fell in love with it had to have one of my own and let me say she has had it for several months and it still looks new :)
September 14, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Astromom Test of time
I have had this handbag in the cognac color for about 6 months and it is already showing major signs of wear. I noticed when I purchased it that the leather on one handle was smooth and the leather on the other handle had a drier pice with a pebbled texture. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time and I overlooked it because I loved the bag so much. The drier piece of leather is now beginning to discolor and turn black. Also, some of the stitching has started to come undone. I have other designer handbags that have lasted multiple years before showing these signs of wear, and they were much less expensive. I love the style, color and size of this bag, but I'm disappointed with the quality and workmanship. I expected more, especially for the price I paid.

I hear this one a lot. So I figure why not...I'll go ahead and prove them all wrong. I apologize in advance, as most of this is duplicate stuff that I've already posted where it belongs. But since I've gotten a number of requests, here's my list of "grievances" so to speak with the current RB set up.I know you have to be a contrarian about anything that you view is negative towards HMX...
- No voxtar option. My main band in RB1 went through entirely voxtar'd. I think I developed schizophrenia. This would be an especially cool option for such songs as "Losing My Religion" or "Polly".
- Only one vocalist per band. I would love to be able to have a male and female vocalist assigned so my lead singer doesn't have to hike up his pants to try and hit some of those notes in "Call Me".
- No Bass Career score. Makes it tough to track progress. I know part of this is because guitar is single quickplay option (only picking bass/lead once the songs are selected)...but with no official "career" for each instrument it seems like an odd exclusion.
- Only one outfit per character. I have my main band, but I take my characters online a lot too. I've been requesting the ability to store at least one or two alt. costumes so my characters can be better tailored to bands I frequent that aren't their "actual band".
- No ability to change eye color. What...we can change our hair color on the fly but can't buy colored contacts?
- No ability to tweak character information once the character is created. This is especially annoying when there's no actual measurements provided with the sliders. I make one character one height, but if I want to make another one and forgot the settings for the previous one I have nothing to base the design on. This leads to my bassist turning out taller than my drummer...who was supposed to be a "hulk" of sorts.
- No "Recording studio" portion of World Tour. I know we can't make our own music, but why couldn't my band record an album using songs available in game? Considering the focus on building money (And the different challenges added this time around), why not have a step along the way recording an album and distributing it for revenue? Heck, you could link it to RB.com...which would help us better show off the style we've come up with for the band.
- When I'm creating my bandmembers...why can't a select "handedness". What if I want to have a southpaw bassist?
- Why is there an audience when I record a music video?
- The ability to remove (or at least hide) bands and characters from RB.com that I've since deleted. I know HMX has said these are retained for their own records...but I should be able to tweak some settings in my profile and hid from public view those bands and characters that literally do not exist anymore.
Do any of these look familiar? Of course they do. Because they're things that get brought up all the time. That's why those who claim I never complain never see me complain...because there's no point in me saying anything more. It's all been said...and it's all where it belongs.
I'm sure there's more...but I think this gets my points across. This'll likely get closed, but that's fine...as I can just link to I get "called out" on being "one of those posters" again.

What's the Correct Diagnosis Code for a Urine Drug Test?
Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by in Coding Challenge, Hot Coding Topics
Question: What is the proper ICD-9 code when the lab performs a urine drug test?
Answer: ICD-9 does not provide one specific code for a urine drug test. The correct diagnosis code to report when billing for the lab test depends on the signs, symptoms, patient condition, or other reason for the test, such as screening. The ordering physician will assign a narrative diagnosis or ICD-9 code when requesting a urine drug test from the lab.
For example: A high school student previously diagnosed as marijuana dependent is doing poorly in school. Suspecting marijuana use again, the physician orders a urine drug screen. In this case, the most appropriate code is 304.30 (Cannabis dependence, unspecified).
In another case: A physician might order a general screening urine drug test such as 80100 (Drug screen, qualitative; multiple drug classes chromatographic method, each procedure) for an elderly patient prior to admission to a nursing home. Because the patient has no known history of drug abuse and shows no signs or symptoms of drug dependence or withdrawal, you should list V70.3 (Other medical examination for administrative purposes) and V72.62 (Laboratory examination ordered as part of a routine general medical examination) as the reasons for the test.

Rugs America Millenium 4645 Rainforest Dew Rug
Item #: 2634645A-P Add to Wishlist
$69 - $1449 + FREE SHIPPINGDescription: The Millennium collection is the most breathtaking contemporary floor covering product in today's market. With a limelight on the most fashion forward colors, a matchless and elegant set of contemporary designs has been skillfully crafted into a superlative home fashion product. Washed several times for extra shine, multiple textures have been utilized with a combination of premium wool and mixed yarns to help create this timeless contemporary masterpiece. Hand crafted in India.
- Collection: Millenium
- Brand: Rugs America
- Material: 100% Premium Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 1' 6" x 2' 3", 4' x 6', 5' x 8', 7' x 9', 8' x 11' and 2' 3" x 8'
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
Just received the rug and I am delighted. The colors shown on screen are a good match to the actual rug. I bought "Patriotic Blue" which actually has swirls of aqua and peacock blue. It's a perfect match for the chairs I bought which were in a shade called "Seafoam." The design is sculpted into the rug with slightly different textures between the two shades of blue. Really, really nice. You never know what you might end up with buying online, but I am so happy I risked it! I needed a 7x9 size which is not so easy to find online, so keep on carrying this size, RugsUsa!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I love this rug. I got the gray rug with the purple lines - it matches my 12' foot purple sofa perfectly. It's nice and soft, and so far did not shed. I decorated the living room in a very contemporary style - black and gray with just a touch of purple, and I needed something bright to liven up the room. This 8x10 beauty of a rug really does the job. Also, thanks for getting it to me within the week.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I got this rug in the green. I love it. It is quality thick wool. I have had rugs shed a bit in the past, but this one hasn't so far. The colors on the screen are good representations of the real rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Figures on how often people get in trouble are hard to come by. States that have gone after companies, to date, have likely focused on travel by high-paid executives, Griffith said.
But going forward, states may get more active, particularly after the hit their coffers took during the recession.
"This is one area they weren't heavily auditing in the past," Griffith said. "So there's potential for revenue."

JanetHairDark BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairWorks Better Than ExpectedWith all these negative reviews, I was expecting the worse from this hair setter. It worked exactly how I had hoped. The large rollers gave my hair body, while the small rollers created beautiful bouncy curls. My hair didn't look like a work, thankfully, which is the last thing I wanted. My only complaint was that there weren't enough clips. Otherwise, a pretty good hair setter.posted Jun 8, 2012Link to this post
Lana P.Brooklyn, NYHairDark BrownOily HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairIt's Nice But Doesn't Hold The Curls For A Long Time.I purchased this for my mother in order to replace her paraffin rollers which she had for 15 years. I wanted to get her something that she doesn't need to biol in order to get them hot. So I though I found the perfect solution with this set but I was disappointed in the results. My mom has thick full hair and she advised me that the rollers heat up well but they do not keep the heat in them for a long time like her paraffin rollers did. She said that after ten minutes on the hair, the rollers were barely warm, hence the results did not last either. I think the reason that it doesn't keep heat for a long time is because the rollers are made of plastic. After trying another similar set like this one, my mom decided that she wants nothing else but her old paraffin rollers.posted Jun 1, 2012Link to this post

Have you ever made a gingerbread house? Not me!
Aside from making a graham cracker gingerbread house with my 2-year old last year, this was new territory for me. And I wasn't prepared for how much trouble I would have with it. After a few tears were shed and lessons learned, I thought I'd share my experience and a host of others so that you won't have to go through the growing pains I went through.
I'm also going to share six more ways to get your gingerbread house on (including that graham cracker house).
To make our house, we started with a Wilton Gingerbread House Mold that I picked up last year. Isn't this a great idea? We made a batch of gingerbread with the recipe from the Trader Joe's gingerbread baking mix. So easy. My kids enjoyed pressing it into the mold and my 3 year old helped pop the cookies out once they cooled. So far, so good!
And then we went candy shopping! Mmmm. This may have been the funnest part. Since this was mostly new to me, I asked my Facebook friends for recommendations and they had the BEST ideas (clearly, my fans are professionals).
Are you ready for this?
Candy for Gingerbread House Decorating:
- gumdrops
- M&M's
- marshmallows
- mini candy canes
- rainbow nerds
- dried fruits and nuts
- life savers
- ribbon candy,
- colored frosting
- gingerbread men/trees to add to scene
- pretzels for a fence
- sweet tarts and those candy necklace candies
- Christmas Captain Crunch with tree shapes
- star shaped cookies from Trader Joe's
- skittles
- jellybeans
- cut out fruit strips into shapes
- gingerbread shaped marshmallows
- tootsie roll for a chimney, Pretzel squares for windows
- crystal like sprinkles for a special touch of snow
- sifted powdered sugar and cotton candy to look like snow
- Twizzlers
- red hots and mint
- swirled red and white mints.
I made a batch of royal icing, the same way I made it for our gingerbread cookies, but I added a bit more powdered sugar to thicken it. Traditionally, royal icing is made with egg whites, but because I knew my kids would lick their fingers I opted to go with this meringue powder version instead.
- 1/8 cup Meringue Powder
- 1/4 cup Cold Water
- 2 cups sifted Confectioners Sugar
Add water to meringue powder and beat until soft peaks form. Add sugar into the mixture and beat until it's the desired consistency. Add more sugar for stiffer icing.
I made individual houses out of graham crackers for our neighborhood friends, and we all worked on the big house as a collaborative project.
Because I was running short on frosting, I added it to all the houses for the kids, but you could also put tubs or bags of frosting out for the children to paint on themselves. Oh, and we ran out of graham crackers, which is why some of the houses have this funky shape. Sigh. Maybe next year I'll be more prepared!
Thankfully, our friends didn't let on if they minded. Sweet kids.
Six More Gingerbread House Ideas…
Graham Cracker House on a Milk Carton
This is the recipe my friend made for our toddler play date last year, and it was perfect for little ones. I know my friend had a hard time collecting milk cartons for all the children in our group, but once you gather the milk cartons, they're easy to assemble. From Martha Stewart.
Gingerbread House from Scratch
Mama Smiles shows us how she made her house with a toddler (no small feat!) from scratch!
Gingerbread House from Graham Crackers
Caked Alaska shows us how to make a beautiful graham cracker house (unlike my ramshackle shanty town houses).
Tiny Gingerbread House Perched on the Rim of a Mug
Oh my goodness! These are most definitely not for making with little kids, but what a show stopper! Couldn't resist sharing these beauties from Not Martha.
Gingerbread House from a Kit
Or, take the easier route with a store-bought kit. A Spoonful of Sugar Designs shares their Ikea kit. Lovely.
Matzo House
Not exactly gingerbread, but we made these jelly bean matzo houses earlier this year and I couldn't resist sharing, just to show that with some icing and candy, you can turn just about anything into a house.
Your turn! What's your favorite way to make a gingerbread house?

- Front L-pockets, back button-and-loop besom pockets
- Inseam = 33"

I am such a fan of the Cassidy fit. They are never too tight and always comfortable. These pants are no exception. The colors are great for fall and will look perfect with many different tops. They are also true to size. My only con is I wish they came in short length.
October 17, 2012
I love it when The Limited offers pants in something other than the basic, solid colors and these are absolutely beautiful. They fit my waist and hips perfectly (Cassidy is my favorite pant) and have just the right amount of flare. The combination of a wide waistband and front buttons gives my abdomen an even flatter look which is awesome. I love being able to wear dark brown and burgundy tops and sweaters with these to complete a total outfit. The material is very soft and the perfect weight to be worn year round. I highly recommend these pants!

Metals, both precious and base, are measures of economic health. Precious metals serve as a store of value and base metals measure economic activity. Gold began an impressive rally at the beginning of this century as the long bull equity market came to an end. Analysts are debating whether or not we are in another secular bull equity market and many turn to gold as a gauge. But gold bulls are liquidating to get into U.S. equities as the Dow Jones set an all-time high in the first quarter of 2013.
Gold peaked in September 2011 at $1920.80 and has been mostly range-bound between $1,525 and $1,800 since then (see "Is it the end of world or end of gold bull?" below). The fear is that there is a wall of inflation awaiting us because of all of the liquidity added and quantitative easing executed across the globe to deal with the financial crisis. But many a fortune has been made and lost in gold on both sides of the market. If gold is the place to be when inflation spikes, many traders have realized that, like the end of the bull equity market predicted throughout the 1990s and eventually arriving in 2000, the market can remain irrational longer than traders can stay solvent.
"Gold is off, S&Ps are up. Fund managers have to move money to performance. There hasn't been any new buying in gold," says George Gero, vice-president of Global Futures RBC Capital Markets and long-time gold trader. He compares what is going on in gold to the mid- and late-1990s when many people correctly understood that the long equity market was coming to an end but lost money by being early. He says traders are in a wait-and-see mode and will wait for a sign of an exit (from QE) before going long again. And he doesn't expect the next leg up in gold to happen for a year, barring some unforeseen geopolitical event.
Steve Platt, senior futures strategist at Archer Financial Services, says the market lost a lot of interest because of the movement in stocks. "It is movement from one asset class to another and stocks have been a favorite after being ignored for so long. Money has moved out of gold because it did have a sizable rally and people have taken profits."
The attention to gold has shifted to other assets. Although gold is consolidating at historically high levels, it won't move higher, says Patricia Mohr, vice-president, economics & commodity market specialist for Scotiabank. "The reason gold has leveled out has a lot to do with a shift in investor interest away from gold and into U.S. equities," Mohr says. "The other reason is recognition that the Federal Reserve Board does not need to further step up its quantitative easing to kick-start the U.S. economy."
Edward Meir, senior commodity consultant to INTL FCStone, points out that how retail investors access gold could put on additional selling pressure. "So many retail traders access gold through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that when they sell there is also a massive outflow from the funds themselves that buy physical gold to back the ETF," he says.
Gero says we just haven't had the inflation many were expecting and that to a certain extent drove the gold rally. "It could be six or 12 months down the road," he says. Gero expects gold to remain range-bound in 2013, but warns that there could be a geopolitical shock that changes things. "I don't see anything yet but something always happens to upend the cart," he adds.
One possibility is what occurred in Cyprus this March when the government decided to go after people's savings. Gero says there could be follow-through if a similar situation occurs in Italy, which appears to be the most vulnerable.
Meir agrees. "Cyprus is [contained], but if it spills over gold could perk up. Italy is a big question; so [are] Spain and Portugal. Basically the continent is not growing."
The inflation picture is unclear, Meir says. Some people believe, "If all this [liquidity and quantitative easing] were going to cause inflation, we would have seen it by now."
On the fundamental front Meir says central bank buying has been restrained and while jewelry demand has been good, the tax increase on gold imports instituted by India, the world's largest user of physical gold, earlier this year could hurt demand .
Meir says the conflicting fundamentals (see "Demand drivers," below) make it difficult to see how gold will perform for the rest of 2013, but adds that U.S. equities may be the big driver. "Basically it depends on U.S. equities — [they are] the new safe haven displacing gold."
He expects gold to take out its 2012 low of $1,530. "We could get down to around $1,480 in 2013," Meir says. "On the top side, I don't think it will go beyond $1,700."
Platt is looking for the gold market to be weaker. "I'm not looking for much lower than $1,500 on the downside. It may be that given the negative sentiment, it is good for the market as it has started to exhaust people," Platt says.
Mohr adds, "One of the factors driving up the price of gold was that there would be further QE that many people [felt] would be inflationary. There is not going to be a [QE4]. We are at the end of the ratcheting up by the Fed. When you have a Fed meeting now, there is a discussion of when the asset purchasing program will begin to be withdrawn. We don't think [it will happen] until 2014, but just the discussion of when is enough to unnerve the gold market."
She also pointed out that Basel III put out its revamped liquidity ratio for banks and did not include gold as one of its assets. "They included equities, albeit with a haircut. To include equities and not gold was surprising," Mohr says.
Is it over?
Gold has been off its high for the longest period in its current bull move — even longer than the 2008 shock — and it is still nowhere near its peak, leading some to ask whether a long-term high is in. Analysts are mixed.
"Gold had taken off because of all the massive easing. At some point the Fed will pull back its balance sheet," Meir says. "Gold has had its peak for years. I don't see it going back to [all-time highs]; we are at some point going to start to pull back this quantitative easing."
Mohr expects gold to average $1,650 in 2013. "I don't see a huge decline because there are many people around the world who do view gold as a store of value, and central banks continue to buy gold. So I see it holding up, I just don't see it moving higher."
She adds, "The 2011 high could be a long-term top. It is a peak for this business cycle, is the way I would put it."
Gero is still a long-term bull but is in no hurry to get back in. He says the extent of the rally would be based on how smoothly the Federal Reserve and other central banks execute an exit strategy. Further, with the Fed signaling there will be no exit strategy until 2014, there is no urgency to buy gold.
All that glitters is …
While she is not particularly bullish on gold or silver, Mohr likes palladium. "Palladium still is considered a precious metal but really is an industrial metal used in auto catalytic converters, [looks strong]," Mohr says. "There are two reasons palladium will perform well: One is [that] the auto market in emerging markets, particularly China and India, probably will be a lot better. The second factor is last year's strikes in South Africa, which supplies 34% of worldwide palladium."
She notes that the supply has dropped because of the labor strife and the Russians' huge stockpile of palladium has depleted. "When that is gone the price of palladium will go higher; it already has performed well this year," Mohr says.
And Mohr is talking the long-term. She expects the price of palladium to average $745 per oz. in 2013, $800 in 2014 and $850 in 2015. It averaged $643 in 2012.
In addition to palladium, Mohr is extremely bullish on zinc. "The story on zinc is that there [are] going to be mines that get depleted in 2013 to 2016. Beginning next year prices are going to move higher," she says. Mohr sees zinc averaging 96¢ this year, $1.10 in 2014 and $1.40 in 2015.
A main driver of Mohr's bullish view on base metals is Scotiabanks's estimates of continued growth in Chinese auto demand. The bank estimates the sector to grow another 6% after a 10% increase in 2012.
Copper short-circuited
While growing demand, especially from China, has analysts bullish industrial metals, the king of industrials, copper, is not expected by many to advance.
It is not that some new exotic metal will replace copper; just that prices have been fat and supply is not expected to be an issue.
"Copper has been the star performer in the entire metals group," Mohr says. "Although pricing in recent weeks has moved down to the $3.30 mark, it remains exceptionally profitable for miners. One of the reasons copper has done so well is the fact that there has been growth in demand in emerging markets, particularly China, but also because new line supply has come on stream slowly. Copper was on a supply deficit."
That void is expected to be filled, according to Mohr. "In the next 18 months, there is going to be a lot of brownfield (existing mines) expansion finally coming on stream," she says.
Another reason for her outlook is that copper, while affected by the global economic tsunami in 2008, rebounded quickly. "Remember China's economy, although it slowed in 2008, never went negative year-over-year," Mohr says. "Copper snapped back very quickly in 2009. Traders realized that China's state reserve was buying. China put together a massive infrastructure spending program on railways and bridges and municipal works to kick-start their economy."
She expects copper to drift lower for the rest of the year and to continue its weakness into 2014, averaging $3.20 per lb.
Platt also is bearish copper. "Copper is still overpriced. I have a hard time seeing copper at these prices. Aluminum might actually be the market that has some potential because of the structural adjustments you are forcing on the producers given the low prices prevailing," Platt says.
He sees copper and aluminum benefiting from increased demand, but prefers aluminum because of its current valuation. It seems with gold fever waning, traders still will find some action and profits to be made, just not in the usual places.
