Mitt Romney will break tradition for a presidential candidate by not spending the final hours of the race in his hometown.
Instead he'll hit the campaign trail one last time.
President Obama will reportedly be sticking to his own Election Day traditions.
The President arrived in Chicago overnight and is expected to do several radio and satellite interviews.
He will also do as he did in 2008 - play a pick-up basketball game.
There's also talk that he will eat at the same restaurant and get his hair cut like he did four years ago.

"Re-Heating" Wort
Ok, here's the dilemma.
I decided to brew up an all grain Kolsch. The recipe calls for a total of 11 pounds of grain and malt. So far so good.
But when I got the bag of grain/malt mix home from the brew store, it occurred to me that there is no way I'm going to get all that stuff into my 5 gallon kettle, along with 5 gallons of water.
So the plan is to split the recipe in two, to accommodate my now strangely effeminate looking kettle.
Question is, would there be any harm in pouring hot wort into the wort that had cooled in the carboy during the time it took to make batch number two?
Seems to me like it wouldn't be a problem, but then if I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be asking. Thanks.
Are you mashing in your kettle? Why do you need to get all the grain and 5 gals water in there at the same time?
The two temps shouldn't be a prob, except that you'll be needing to chill your wort before you rack/pour it into your carboy, so they shouldn't be that different in temperature. Your brew day will be pretty long if you have to do two boils consecutively for 1 brew though.
Splitting a batch is no problem- just divide the hops equally, too, and do it. But DON'T add hot wort to cooled wort- then you'll just heat up the cooled wort. Cool it in the sink in an ice bath (1/2 batch doesn't take too long to cool) and then mix them up. If you have two pots, you can do them on the stove at the same time, cool in an ice bath in the bathtub or in your sink if you have room.
What are you using for a mash tun? You didn't say how you were planning on mashing it. You can mash it in your bottling bucket if you have too, but you are going to need a couple of bigger pots if you plan on mashing in your kettle.
Other than hot side aeration which can be avoided and the potential for infection, no.
What I would do for splitting the batch.
Do batch 1, cool it to pitching temp and dump into fermenter.
Do batch 2, cool to pitching temp and dump into fermenter.
This will take a long, long time. Each batch is going to run ~3 hours after mashing, spargeing, boiling and cooling. You could speed this up by getting a big cooler to do the mash in. Then you only have to split the boil and cooling, which only adds 1 hour and change. Also, you may be able to boil both at the same time in two pots.
IMHO, spend the $100 on a cooler and a turkey fryer. Use you're 5gal pot for an HLT and a fryer for the boil. Save you're sell a HUGE pile of pain and you'll be set up for all grain.
But now this plan is sounding stupid. A trip to the hardware store may be in order.
Maybe I'm reading this recipe wrong. It says to mash in at 150 for 60 minutes, then sparge at 170, and then boil for 60 minutes. So at what point am I supposed to raise the mash temp to 170? Confused now.
Your 5-gallon kettle is big enough to mash your 11 pounds of grain all at once, as long as you keep the ratio at 1.5 qt/lb or less (I'd use 1.25)
Not sure how you're planning to "sparge into the carboy", but it might be easier if you can sparge into a big, clean bucket. If you have something that will hold 7-8 gallons of wort, you can do one mash, one sparge, and then two boils. (There's no harm in letting the wort for the 2nd boil sit in the clean bucket for a couple hours...nothing infectious will take hold in that time, and you're going to boil it anyway). That should cut down your total brew time considerably.
I'm scrapping my original plan and building a proper Lautering tun instead.
Good plan! But I did use my bottling bucket for my first PM beer, and it worked out ok. It's hard to keep your temps at 150 for an hour without an insulated cooler, though. Still, if you want to brew sooner and not wait until you have the MLT, mashing in your kettle isn't impossible. You can do it, and drain it (maybe into your bottling bucket) and then sparge in it. You'd need a big grain bag or something, though, to separate the grain from the wort.
Good luck!
Full conversion should happen within 20 minutes so if you strike high and let it sit the hour you should be ok in an uninsulated tun.
if you need cheap ideas for a mash tun, look in the DIY section, there's one that'll run under $30 using a rubbermaid Victory cooler (5 or 10 gallon) and various Watts brass pipe fittings from Lowe's.
at least if you're after an insulated tun.

Three months after the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial, an inscription on the monument to the civil rights leader is to be corrected.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Friday he has given the National Park Service 30 days to correct the error on the base of the statue.
The inscription reads, "I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness."
The misquote was discovered by a Washington Post columnist, who called the quote "an odd choice" for the monument.
Research by the columnist showed the quote was taken from one of King's speeches in which he actually said, "If you want to say I was a drum major, say I was . . ."
"As many have since pointed out, the 'if' and the 'you' entirely change the meaning," the Post reported Friday.
Among those who agree the quote needs to be changed is the poet Maya Angelou, who knew and worked with King. The inscription made King seem like "an arrogant twit," she told the Post.
Salazar told the Post Friday that it was "important" to correct the error because King "and his presence on the Mall is a forever presence for the United States of America" with its conspicuous location in the nation's capital.
Opened on October 16, the memorial is the first monument on the Mall to honor a person of color and the only one of importance named for someone other than a former president of the United States.
It is dedicated to the Baptist preacher's message of "democracy, justice, hope and love" on a space covering four acres, dominated by a rock from which emerges a massive 9.1-meter high statue of the preacher, who was assassinated in 1968.

#aoty12: PR Agency of the Year - Best of the Rest
Despite a difficult economic backdrop, Unity had a fantastic 2012.
Marks & Spencer: Unity publicised retailer's 'Shwopping' initiative
In the past financial year its income has grown by 32%, smashing its target of 15%. Profit margin was also strong at 28%, against an industry average of 14%.
In the past 12 months, Unity has added a range of high-profile consumer brands to its roster, including Aquafresh, Ribena, Marks & Spencer, CNN, Total Greek Yoghurt and Weight Watchers. Significantly, the agency won places on three major UK rosters - Unilever, Marks & Spencer and Glaxo-SmithKline. It has a high pitch-conversion rate, winning six out of its past seven pitches. It also retained clients Netmums, Direct Line and Cancer Research UK.
Despite this success, the agency stayed true to its motto, 'do the right thing', and continued to work with cause-related and charity clients adding Shelter, The British Council, Fifteen and vInspired.
Unity's campaigns have delivered, on average, a 25% uplift in sales for its brand campaigns in the past year.
Particularly noteworthy is its 'Shwopping' campaign for Marks & Spencer, which encouraged customers to recycle clothing when they bought a new item in stores. Some 36,000 items were handed in during the first week. This figure is now 1.4m.
Judges praised Unity's use of social media and its campaigns that generated 'excellent consumer awareness for worthwhile causes'. They added: 'Unity's strong business development and growth with motivational schemes for its staff really stood out.'
Frank PR is no stranger to Marketing's PR Agency of the Year award, winning in 2010 and being commended last year. This year, it was a close runner-up with Unity.
In the past 12 months, the agency has maintained an impressive new-business growth rate, receiving 250 enquiries between January and October this year. More than 90% of these approached the agency as a result of its reputation, profile or recom-mendation. It continues to win about 75% of the pitches it enters.
In the past 12 months, the agency's new clients include RSPB, Chrysler Super Bowl, Volvic, MasterCard - UEFA Champions League, Disney and Tia Maria.
This year, the agency opened an office in New York as well as an office in the heart of Media City in Salford. In the first few months, its New York clients already include NBC, AMC Networks and Trulia.
Judges praised it for being a forward-thinking agency that has 'great brand interaction with campaigns that used traditional PR, digital and social platforms'.
The year's work highlights include running a Google+ hangout for Ocado, which was watched by 175,000 people on YouTube, and launching digital TV service YouView with Lord Sugar.
The launch received more than 400 pieces of coverage and at its peak, there was a tweet about YouView every 12 seconds.
Also shortlisted were Blue Rubicon, Cake, Pretty Green and The Red Consultancy.

Why is Oak the accepted wood to age beer on? Typically only oak is used and I want to know why not maple, cherry, sycamore, etc?
Because oak tastes good!
thats a good question and am curious also.It doesnt seem available,is it even? I definatly got some vanilla tastes from oak, how bout wine are these available for wine?
Because oak, specifically white oak, tastes good when used for aging alcoholic beverages while the others don't. White oak contains lots of vanillin and less of the oils, tannins and general furniture flavors that you might get from many other hardwoods.
In one of the Brewmasters episodes, they used cedar scraps from a surfboard making company. Doesn't sound very appealing to me, but it shows that rules were made to be broken. You can always try soaking some fruitwood chips in a glass of beer for 15 minutes to get an idea of how it might taste.
I have used applewood, cedar, and mesquite before with okay results.
Budwieser uses Beechwood.
*snicker *
Cigar city in Tampa uses Spanish Cedar.
I think oak has just become very common due to its roots in both wine and whiskey aging.

This is more about metaphysical energy dynamics.
Things we don't understand as yet.
But it has everything to do with us.
You see, when people play this song, hear it, dance to it, applaud to it, they are giving away their energies. This quantum pack of energy is collected and used to develop its strengths in this realm.
When Rihanna is in concert, with thousands of her fans going crazy , there is a lot of energy being thrown away.
So what they do is to invest a lot into the song, to make it sound catchy and beautiful, attractive so the youngest of fans will love it, and then install the core messages in reverse. You are basically agreeing to the secret reversed messages within the song. Now there is a definite connection between your mind energy and the hidden entity.
It will use this stored energy when the time is right.
Abhie, interesting post. My understanding is that it is only the conscious INTENT of the individual that can define the nature of the energy that is being transmitted. The nature/intent of the stimulus that acted as the catalyst does not claim authority over the energy that is generated or transmitted back unless that energy is of a similar frequency as the source. Energy operates on different wavelengths/frequencies and is not easily transmutable. Distinctions must be highlighted.
Let's say hypothetically that an individual had assumed a very dark state of mind (low vibration) and sought to commit an overt act that would generate anger/hatred (low vibration/frequency energy). If the act is committed, and observers/onlookers were to react and respond with hatred/anger (low frequency emotions of mind) towards the perp, then they are matching the energy level and the prepetrator serves to feed off of that energy and feel empowered by it. If the same act is committed but rather than individuals responding with hatred/anger, they decided to react with empathy/compassion (high frequency emotions of the heart) for those affected by the incident, then the energetic signature is not compatible with the perpetrator's state of mind and he would not be able to feed off that energy. In other words the stimulus itself does not claim authority or ownership over the full spectrum of energy that is generated, only the energy which is compatible or of a similar wavelength/frequency.
In the context of this discussion if I listen to a Beatles song and believe the song about 'Lucy' is a song in reference to a woman or a relationship, that is the association I will make while listening and my conscious intent will dictate the type of energetic response that I generate. Hypothetically, 'Lucy' could be code name for any number of horrible things as created by the intent of the author of the song, but unless I have conscious awareness of the intended meaning, I am unlikely to respond in a manner that is compatible with the energetic frequency of the author's intentions. Does that make sense?
the Beatles themselves publicly claimed the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about finding alternative spirituality away from Christianity by using LSD. Then they went into a long diatribe about how they would be more famous than Jesus.
i will find the links/vids for you.
whether you believe in the Luciferian/Satanic agenda, they do. they really do...
The battle on this planet is spiritual - This is so, due to the unique nature, experiential patterns of some souls/higher selfs operating on this planet...
It is not lucifer, devil, satan or any of this kind of thinking...
It is however two different paths clashing... The larger group who have their control mongering ways all over this planet are actively seeking to thwart the other, much smaller groups path...
They view this path as a threat, it is not... It is however, a graduation path... The threat comes from the larger group losing members to the smaller group, and they are losing some of their best...
They have run interferance on other planets in the past to try and derail the path, they were not sucessfull, and they will not be sucessfull here...
They cannot defeat the higher purpose, and reason for participating in this galaxy - eventual graduation... This can only be achieved by being on this unique path, a path of simultaneous incarnations...
They are looking for loopholes, and ways to thwart any further loss of members... Genetic manipulation, energy gathering, chemical and electronic interferance, etc.
They are foolish... The spiritual nature and purpose trumps anything physical, and the path cannot be derailed...
A lesson they have not learned yet, even though they have lost on every other planet like this, they have encountered...
Shortly, we will be graduating, the planetary higher self will be graduating, and they get a lifeless rock...

Raise issues facing residents
12:01pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in Letters
I READ read with much interest the letter last week from 'concerned resident'.
I really must point out that a ruling party is only as good as its opposition. Wigan Labour Party always has wasted time, money and resources in the name of Wigan MBC. Over the past few months I have tried to entice the local Conservative Party into some action as it used to do not just in the Powell/Woods years and curbed the local authority's stupidity on many matters.
In 1971 Harry Sharland led the Conservative group on Atherton UDC and and they were able to reduce the rates.
Both the scenarios have one thing in common, there was a high level of campaigning on issues that people cared about.
Why oh why are the local Leigh, Tyldesley and Atherton councillors not able to raise the issues facing residents? Are they hell bent on just continuing their obvious self indulgences at internal, behind-closed-doors meetings?
So wakey, wakey local Conservatives. Begin making your views on local matters known, very publicly.

... in Orlando. It was amazing! It had it's own supermarket attached. We bought so many things from target and I wanted way more but we couldn't send it back because we didn't have time and couldn't find a post office. Hopefully we find another target. After hours and hours in target we walked outside and it was pitch black. We drove to Golden Corral for dinner and went home and ...

With us both being sick, the air pressure hurt our ears as never before. It's always a nuisance but this was totally PAINFUL. Swallowing, sucking on candies, nothing helped in the least and it was torture.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ramada Inn Resort Eastgate Kissimmee
Old hotel
My Daughter and i stayed in the ramada christmas eve 2003 for a 3 night stay. The hotel is old and the rooms are in need for a remodel. We had no prolbems with the elevators has great acess to old town and great serivce for shopping and to the major attractions. The on site restraunt BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! verry discusting you will be better eating of site at the Las Vegas Buffet. Also at the poolside bar isn't really poolside it is more like in the hotel with a view of the pool. if you order a hot dog for your kids don't do it the price is $4.00 for one.
The lakeside is more like a swamp. They do have a pavillion and swings that rock like the ones on a front porch they are verry old and look like they are about to fall apart. This hotel is within greatr access to everything and easy walking distance to old town and not that far from disney's town of celebration. the pool is great and so is the hot tub other than older rooms your family should stay here .
What a dump!!!!
I booked this hotel for a two night stay after looking at the virtual tour offered. What a joke that was. The room was a dump, stains on the walls, mattresses, curtains, peeling wallpaper in the bathroom. The water barely came out in a trickle in the bathroom faucet. The top security lock was broken, the hairdryer was broken, worn and dirty comforter on the beds. Disgusting!!!!! The fire alarms on the second floor went off at 10:30 at night and when I called down to the front desk, I was told that there was probably not a problem, but it was our perogitive if we wanted to leave the building. I had prepaid for two nights, but I left the following morning, and it was worth losing my money to find a clean hotel. I would never go to any Ramada Inn anywhere because of this experience.
We wished we were somplace else!
we booked the hotel based upon the description and the picture on Hotels website. What a disappointment. You are advised to step to the next window after you're checked in to get your 'welcome kit'. The welcome kit includes discount tickets to Disneyworld, with a catch - you get a free breakfast and then have to sit through an hour and half presentation about time shares. The lady at the welcome booth ought to be a used car salesman - she talked so fast that you weren't exactly certain about the time share deal unless you were paying close attention! Just what I want to do on my vacation! (not!) The room was a joke, flaking paint in the bathtub, old dirty box spring mattresses, mold on the celing, etc. It looked like a $20 a night room. They're 'all you can eat seafood buffet' was crap. We won't be going back.
Great for the price
We just returned from our 8 day stay at the Ramada Eastgate. We
traveled in end of Nov/ begining of Dec and the prices were good 49.50
(expedia) for a pool view kidsuite. We had a microwave and fridge which
helped us with breakfast and sandwiches and snacks. Room was smaller
than expected with the name 'suite' in it. Nice balcony- could have
used furniture on them. Large clean pool that the kids loved, nice hot
tub for adults. The room was a little old but was good for the price.
Sheets were old and scratchy but service was excellent. Nice to have a
paper in the morning and a safe in your room.
We would stay again at our bargain/off season rate but not at higher/in season rates.
Decent price, decent hotel
Just returned from our six day stay at the Ramada Inn Resort Eastgate. Our room showed signs of age (flaking paint in bathroom, worn carpet and a light that only worked part time). But, all in all, we were happy with the hotel. The room was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the swimming pool area was terrific. We booked a "package deal" and felt it was good value for what we paid. One note, however, if you book via the Internet, be sure to take copies of all your emails with the hotel. On checkout, they were going to charge us the regular rate but I had the reservation confirmation with me and it reduced the bill by about $500.
Good Experience at Ramada Eastgate
My husband and I stayed here in May 2003 for six days. Overall, the hotel suited our basic need of having a place to sleep after visiting the parks all day. The air-conditioner unit did not work in our original room, and it was really noisy having a room by the pool, so we asked to be moved. They moved us without any problem, and our next room was fine and very quiet at the end of the hall. It had a king size bed (not a very comfortable one though), a couch, coffee table, desk, two sinks and a balcony. The maids did a good job cleaning each day. We did not eat at the restaurant because there were numerous chain restaurants along highway 192. We didn't use the pool or any of the activities such as the tennis court. They provided a newspaper each day (you pay for this in the resort fee), and it had an on-site laundry room. The elevator wasn't air-conditioned, smelled bad and sounded like it would break at any moment. The people at the front desk were courteous and set a wake-up call for us each morning. This hotel is in a good location to the parks and the area seemed very safe. It is not fancy, but if you get a good rate for a room (we paid $35/day), I think it is worth that.
OK but just
The location is excellent. Easy enough to get to and close to
everywhere we wanted to go. The room was large enough for 4, the maids
worked hard and did their best to make a fusty smelling room with damp
on the ceiling look good but it was abit off putting. The buffet
breakfasts were good value but never wnet near the sea food dinners as
they seemed expensive unless you're into crab etc. Overall I probably
was paying ecomony and it felt that way. They have a push on some sort
of timeshare and you get cheap tickets but I didn't check it out.
Toilet blocked a couple of times but they sent someone around
immediately to sort it out. Hate that happening in the first place
Couple of neighbours thought they would practice their basketball on the floors and walls during the night but security sorted that out very quickly once someone complained. Perhaps its hit and miss with the rooms but I feel it should have been better.
A Great Price Value
We had come down on our annual family vacation to find a great price value close to Disney. We found the Ramada to be convenient to Disney by car (just up 192) and nearby to the other parks and attractions as well. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helped us with getting around the area quickly. Our room was only $49.99 with our own private balcony overlooking the pool. The room was clean and had two full beds.
The buffet breakfast was great and much cheaper than would you pay at Disney for food.
Beware of the Ramada eastgate
I stayed at the ramada eastgate in july I had to change rooms because the room smelled awful. the rug was wet amd moldy so it smelled . the grounds were ok xcept for the swamp they called a lake with the broken gazebo that had caution tape on it . I cant speak for the food I didnt even try it the restaurant had a buffet style seafood dinner for 20.00 pp the shuttle buses to disney only made 3 pickups so you had to go into the parks by 11 45 am or you werent going unless you called a cab . the staff was friendly but the rooms need a totlal renovation from the dingy shower curtains to the cigarette burned linens it was not even standard in my book i am a seasoned traveler and i will never stay at a ramada again. go with the competetion like holiday inn or travelodge i met some people from there and they had NO complaints
Took one look and walked out
We had booked into this hotel as we had stayed there a few years before and it was fine. However, on this occassion we pulled into the car park and were gobsmacked when we saw the state of the place. There was rust running down the outside balconies and the hotel looked like a 'Batesy's' Motel!We thought maybe it would be better on the inside so went inside to look only to find the restaraunt packed full of people who looked like they were auditioning for a Jerry Springer show!The man on the front desk was unhelpful and scruffy. The floor tiles in reception were all loose and rocked back and forth when you stood on them.We decided to venture no further and got out of there as quick as we could, even though we had paid for our accomodation up front and would lose the money paid.

Seth's Blog: "I don't have any good ideas"
If you follow me on any of my other various channels, you'll know I'm currently in Philadelphia, checking in with Brave New Voices— an (THE?) annual youth poetry festival. I came over for it last year, when it was in Chicago, and although I've been involved in youth poetry and/or youth slam initiatives for a very long time now (15+ years? Nobody's keeping count, right?) it was inspiring to see. I travelled back to London with a mind full of the desire to push things harder in the UK, to really make a difference… then got back into the grind and didn't really live up to the revolutionary zeal I'd managed to muster through my travels. Sure, I manage an independent youth poetry community, I've inherited a spoken word education programme, I maintain a long-running poetry course at the Barbican, I mentor emerging poets, I still teach on an ad hoc basis, and I have my fingers in many more pies within the sector, but every now and then I have moments like this where I step back and ask what it's all worth. Whether the work I'm doing is really having the impact I want it to. And: whether I'm doing a good enough job of communicating the vision and getting people on board.
For now, I'm simply celebrating the opportunity I've had thus far this week to gain some perspective. Soon enough, I'll be back in grind mode, trying to maintain the balance between the 40,000 foot view and the attention to minutiae that keeps everything moving forward.

Pay it forward — Medium (via http://twitter.com/rogre)
Yes.

I'm least responsive when it comes to Facebook messages; direct email is best, but please forgive if it takes a minute for me to respond.
Also: yes. I'd be happy to hear that the people I've had any kind of positive impact on pay that impact forward, that they go on to support others in similar ways. You never know (unless told), but you can hope. And believe. And carry on, regardless.

PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Post 27 Diamond Spyders are alive again in the American Legion State Baseball Tournament.
After falling in double-elimination at their home sectional last week, the Spyders have been invited back as they host the regional round of tourney play at Bill Nixon Field this weekend. The Spyders will replace Richmond Post 65, which was forced to withdraw from the regional earlier this week.
Post 27 will take on Bristol Post 143 in a nightcap scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday following the tourney opener between Kokomo Post 6 and Highland Post 180 at 4 p.m.
LaVille golfers win in Goshen
A pair of LaVille golfers brought home wins from a Mountain Dew Junior Tour event in Goshen Wednesday.
Zach Gurtner earned his second win in two days with a 3-over 74 at Maplecrest Country Club, topping the boys 17-19 division just a day after his even-par 72 trumped the field at The Brassie in Chesterton. Lauren Read, playing in the 15-16 age group, shot an 86 to win in
Goshen on Wednesday as well.
Plymouth track and cross country athletes Meagan Fisher and Mason Reed recently returned home from the Down Under Track and Field Meet in Sydney, Australia earlier this month.
In this photo sent by the Fisher family, the duo pose with their medals at the tail end of the three-day meet.
Fisher, a 2013 PHS grad who will run for Bethel College beginning this fall, brought home two bronze medals in the 4x400 relay and the open 400, where she ran a 60.9. But her best finish was in the open 800, where her time of 2:16.6 won her the gold.
She also finished fourth in the women's 18-19 high jump.

Isaac Keldsen, Thomas Rudecki and Sydney Carson competed in the American Style Skeet and Sporting Clays on June 29 and June 30, respectively.

BREMEN — It's been almost 10 years since a tragic accident took the lives of Carey Jones, Casey Miller and Chad Beeson, volunteers for the Bremen High School football team who were killed by a drunk driver coming home from a playoff game on October 24, 2003. A scholarship was established for the three men called the 3 C's Memorial Scholarship, and 10 years later, there have now been 30 winners from 14 different schools honored with the scholarships.
PLYMOUTH — The Post 27 Diamond Spyders lost big in a rematch with Patriot Tourney champ Bristol Post 143, with a final score of 17-1 in eight innings at Bill Nixon Field Tuesday night.
Cain Crowley led the game off for Bristol with a double. With one out, Diamond Spyders pitcher Kyle Liedtky walked two straight batters, loading the bases. Then Brock Logan hit a sac fly, bringing Crowley home for 1 of his 3 RBIs on the night. The next batter up, Mason Eldridge, singled into left, bringing in two more. From that point on, Bristol never looked back, scoring runs in all but two innings.

The Challenge: Track Your Spending
For the next month, here's your assignment: Record where every cent goes. Save receipts, credit card slips, canceled checks, and write everything else down on a pad of paper. Or you can go all-digital with a site like mint.com that tracks every credit and debit card purchase. Whatever your preference, here's the key: Let no donut go unrecorded. You'll be surprised at just how much those $4 Dunkin' runs add up. Often just seeing your spending pattern will point out ways to save.
The Challenge: Save in Your Sleep
Most of us think too much when we save. What do we mean? Big goals like your dream car, a vacation home by the lake, and your kids' college education are huge and uncertain. If you wait until you know the exact cost and when it'll strike, you'll never save anything.
So start today. Instead of thinking about how much you'll need to reach your goal, estimate the maximum amount you could possibly save each month, says Dan Ariely, Ph.D., author of Predictably Irrational and a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University.
Then set up automatic payments from your paycheck toward your goal. If you find you need more spending cash during the month, you can always adjust—but in the meantime, you're stashing dough toward the day Junior gets into Yale.
Why It Works: Automatic payments don't just make saving easier—they make spending less tempting. How? Money—spending it or even thinking about spending it—causes a dopamine rush in your brain. Then you're relying on your willpower to resist handing over your VISA. That's a battle you'll lose, says Chip Heath, Ph.D., a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University. "You can't advise people to 'spend less,'" he says. "You're creating a willpower struggle that will have to be fought on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis." So remove as many of those decisions as you can through automatic bill pay and savings withdrawals.
The Challenge: Transfer Your Savings to a Money-Making Account
Don't stow extra cash in your checking account—you're letting your money be lazy. "Having more than what's required to avoid minimum-balance fees is a waste, because it's not earning interest," says Dan Candura, a certified financial planner at Massachusetts-based PennyTree Advisers. Stash a month's worth of expenses in checking. Then put the rest of your emergency stash—experts now recommend a 6- to 9-month buffer—in a high-yield savings account. Compare rates at bankingmyway.com.
While You're At It: If you're always in the black at the end of each month, schedule a recurring automatic transfer to a mutual fund, Candura says.

The Challenge: Bulk Up Your Emergency Fund
In this volatile economy, you should save at least 6 months' worth of expenses in case you get laid off. To start, save much as you can once you've paid the bills, experts say. If you must insist on a number, start by putting 10 percent of your paycheck toward the emergency fund. Once you have 6 months' worth of income saved, tackle your debt. (You might hear debt first, savings later, but the safety net is important to have in case layoffs hit.) "Setting aside cash is as important as avoiding interest, so be aggressive about both," says Ray Harrison, the founder and CEO of Harrison Financial Group.
The Challenge: Balance Your Budget
Call it a "spending plan" or "financial strategy" if you can't stand the b-word. Point is, you need to know where your money's going if you want to save more of it. Use the five categories listed below, and within them list all the expenses you pay online from your checking account. (Put rent under housing, car payment under living expenses, etc.) Add a line for cash under living expenses.
Recommended budget allocations:
Housing 35%
Living expenses 40%
Emergency/insurance 2%
Pleasure/personal 15%
Savings 8%
Single with home
Housing 45%
Living expenses 25%
Emergency/insurance 6%
Pleasure/personal 14%
Savings 10%
Married with home
Housing 37%
Living expenses 25%
Emergency/insurance 8%
Pleasure/personal 20%
Savings 10%
Household with kids
Housing 37%
Living expenses 30%
Emergency/insurance 10%
Pleasure/personal 15%
Savings 8%
While You're At It: Stay humble. People who lack financial confidence often make the best money decisions. In one study, when people were told that budgeting was difficult, they estimated their expenses more accurately than people who were told it was simple.

Pinterest really is da bomb when it comes to DIY beauty treatments and after trolling through it this morning I decided to make my very own sugar scrub. I found my recipe here and it literally took me all of five minutes to make it.
You will need:-
- 1 Cup of Sugar
- 1/4 Cup of Coconut Oil
- Fresh Limes or Lemons
The method really is as simple as this - melt your coconut oil in the microwave until it forms a liquid and then mix it together with your sugar. Squeeze in your fresh lemon or lime, mix it again and hey presto, you've made yourself a sugar scrub. I chose to store mine in a recycled glass jar and decorated it with some brown string but you can of course add labels and other pretty decorations, especially if you're making this as a gift for someone.
I've read that this makes an amazing shaving scrub so I will be putting that to the test later. OH and it's totally edible if you get a little peckish in the bath... no? Just me then.

7 thoughts on "Episode 40: Rice"
I am a firm believer in the magic of the rice cooker!
Cooking rice on the stovetop was not something I never mastered, and so was delighted to get a full-on Japanese-style rice cooker as a wedding present. While I admit it means that I still haven't bothered to learn how to cook a proper pot of rice without it (my mom still just shakes her head), my word I do love this machine. I would give up all other small appliances – even my beloved KitchenAid – if I could keep my rice cooker.
I was recently at my local Japanese supermarket and took a quick look to see how much my style of rice cooker is. Let me tell you, they're not cheap. But still totally worth it. Looking back, I don't think I really ever thanked the people that gave it to us enough.
Side note – as far as 'How much water?' goes, always use less in a rice cooker. My mom uses a 2:1 water to long-grain rice ratio when cooking on the stovetop; in my rice cooker, it's 1:1.
I am still cracking up over the "mucous-y" whisper/comment…. hilarity!!!
Me, too!
What is the water to rice ratio for calrose? 2:1?
are you still going to include the recipe for the jasmine rice with seeds? sounds delicious!

On yesterday's edition of Menifee Valley Talk Radio, Therese Daniels and Mieke Jacobs spent a portion of their show talking about property values in Sun City Core, and how the 55+ age requirement has worsened the situation.
Therese was asked if Sun City Core was always a 55+ community, to which she said, "no". Here's her answer, as transcribed from the show...
Therese: No. This has been my beef and my debate for sometime now. When Del Webb founded Sun City in the 1960s, mid-1960s, he founded it as an 18+ community. It was an adult-only community as age 18+, not 55. It remained like that until 1997. In 1997, one of the board members, Jean Loberge, I think that was her name, started a project called "Project 55". In order to... You see this is in the CC&Rs. In order to get something changed in the CC&Rs, one has to get a petition of at least 250.Therese went on to explain that Sun City Core can change the community back to 18+, by running another petition and putting it to ballot.
Then after the petition is signed, then it goes to a ballot and then it's taken to general vote. What happened is, there was a little chicanery there. After she got her 250 signatures, I don't know what she was thinking, probably sitting around thinking, "Oh God, it's so much work to take this to the ballot, they're going to approve it anyhow. Why don't I just save them time and money." She took, and went over to the County Recorder, and recorded that, that there was a majority approval, and that we are now a 55+ community.
Nobody at the County Recorder's office challenged that. Now that is about as corrupt, and about as dishonest as you can get. But by golly let somebody grow verbenia, and if they don't like those flowers, those verbenia, they will literally fine the people and say you can get rid of those, they're weeds!
You know, they want everbody to conform to their arbitrary ways, but yet they wanna break every law and get away with it.
Now, and for the last, uh, since 1997 or 98, when they did that and recorded that, there was only one signature, ONE SIGNATURE, and that uh, filing. By the way not all seven board members, just her signature. Now, I just can't begin to you tell how outrageous that is. I hope that answers her question.
Mieke: In the um, Hi Therese, in the History of Sun City, which is kind of a proud, published item, how is that justified? How is that recorded, that in 1997 they moved to a 55, was that for convenience sake, or how is that looked at now?
Therese: Well that's a good question, and there's a mix. Some people just love the idea of a 55+. They hate the idea of families, they don't want children skateboarding in front of their house, and uh, they like to think that, you know, this is just a nice quiet little place for little old people to live.
Uh, but other people, and a large percentage of them, resented for one thing, it keeps their property values down, their opportunities to sell are less, because it's a limited market, because your buyers... Well a buyer could be younger than 55 to own a home in Sun City, but you must be 55+ to live in Sun City. Most buyers, if they're buying retired homes, are buying homes to live in. So this limits the buyers by as much as 60%. And in a slow market like this one, that's like you know, bringing it to a stand-still.
The market has just about come to a halt. And yet we have the best buys around. We have some of the best buys around today. And they can't even give them away!
Mieke: There are actually some nice homes in Sun City right now, for under a $100,000.
Therese: Yeah! You know, this is really truly a buyer's market. Not only are the homes available under that price, the interest rates low, very very low, the sellers are desperate out there, they'll do almost anything to make a sale. A buyer could come in and take advantage of this market. And as the real estate market pendulum swings, which as we've talked about before, it always does, they're going to have a very nice little investment for themselves.
Albeit the entire real estate market in Southern California is still in the dumps, Sun City Core's market is even worse because the 55+ requirement makes it very difficult to find buyers. That in turn made property values fall even further.

Dominant first half is enough for Minety to earn the points
9:28am Tuesday 6th November 2012 in Sport
Dorset & Wilts Division 1 North.
Minety 22 Swindon II 10.
MINETY put in their best performance of the season so far to gain an emphatic win over Swindon seconds.
The steep slope and heavy conditions meant that this fixture was always going to be, as the cliché would have it, 'a game of two halves'.
Playing down the hill in the first half, Minety swarmed all over their visitors.
The first try went to Gethin Roberts, stretching out for a try from a pile-up on the line.
Full back Dale Langdown sped through next, eluding defenders with his pace and agility.
When a break by inside centre Dave Church once more broke Swindon's defence, Duncan Simpson was on hand to take the pass and finish the move with a burst for the line. Playing in the unaccustomed role of outside centre, prop Martin Coe kicked the conversion.
Swindon expected their hosts to take a pop at goal from a penalty late in the half, but when instead they opted to tap and go, lock Matt Hooper was able to barge over for try number four.
The sides turned round with the score at 22-0, but the visitors started the second half with a bang. Passing adroitly and making the most of the slope, they stormed downhill and secured a try before their hosts seemed to have registered that play had begun once more.
And then the real game began. For a while, Minety were able to pin their opponents back into their own half, unable to score but frustrating the visitors' attempts to get back on terms. When Swindon regained the initiative, the home team mounted a solid defensive line and tackled them to a standstill. Even though the visitors retained the ball, they found themselves losing ground as their opponents slowly forced them back up the slope.
Swindon stuck to their task but it wasn't until the final minutes of the game that they were able to break through down the right touchline. A neat pass inside beat the final defender but a good try was followed by a failed conversion and all that remained after that was the referee's whistle and a bonus-point win for Minety.
