12 Fun Holiday Gifts For The Guys (2012 Edition)
When Sherry made a mood board of gifts that kids and ladies might like, there were actually a bunch of requests for a guy-gifts version from me. Color me surprised. But who am I to deny the people what they want? (cut to me muttering quiet profanities while trying to make a mood board). The good news is that
ten hours later I emerged victorious. Fist bumps for everyone! I won't even pretend that the items below will tickle every guy's fancy (do men even having "fancies?"), but here are a dozen items that I wouldn't mind finding under the tree…
1. This HOMAGE NYC tee, which I'm actually wearing right now. I treated myself to this $20 Fab.com find a few weeks ago and the best part is that Clara says "C for Clara!" when she sees it.
2. I'm a sucker for a good notebook. Yep, even dudes need to write things down now and again. So this $10 hand-stamped brown spiral notebook from Etsy seems like a pretty perfect place to jot down your "nefarious ideas."
3. I haven't actually used this GYRO screwdriver from Black & Decker, but every time I walk by it at the store I'm intrigued. It's like the Segway scooter of screwdrivers, interpreting the twist of your wrist to the direction you want to drive your bit. Screwdriving of the future perhaps?
4. I will always have a soft spot for vintage travel posters, so these caught my eye a few weeks ago. Sadly there's no Richmond poster yet, but there are still lots of options for those of you who live in (or have a love for) a bigger metropolis.
5. Fist pump… in poster form. Need I say more? I do. This fresh $20 print comes to you straight from Richmond.
6. I couldn't do a mood board without something bike-y on here, right? So how about this $18 leather wallet from Etsy, which can even be personalized for no extra charge. That means more cash to keep in your… well, you know.
7. These are man cave bookends if I ever saw 'em. And while I like the classic green color of these oversized army men, I think they could also look pretty sweet spray painted charcoal, navy, or even in Sherry's go-to glossy white.
8. Here's another suggestion straight from my closet: this striped hoodie from American Apparel is just about the most comfortable thing I own these days. The $45 price tag is a bit more than I usually spend on a sweatshirt, but I'm most definitely getting my money's worth this winter.
9. This WOW Bluetooth Speaker comes in several colors, but this yellow one caught my eye first. They're available in a few places around the internet, but the best price I've seen hails from eBay.
10. I'm a fan of giving magazine subscriptions to my brothers-in-law for the holidays, and this rustic magazine rack (made from reclaimed materials) could be another option. It's more expensive than a magazine subscription, so a few of the bro-in-laws would probably go in on it together.
11. The Oatmeal cracks me up on a regular basis, so I see guaranteed laughs for anyone who receives the gift of How To Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You.
12. While I wouldn't normally suggesting giving a guy scented candles, even I can get behind "man candles" which smell like fresh cut grass, a campfire, and (my personal favorite) sawdust.
So that's my dude-y dozen. Do you guys have any favorites of the mix? Or are there any other items that you're getting the dudes in your life that you'd like to share?

Man cans are made by a kid in my small town! Thanks for the awesome shout out! Too cool!
Sawdust scented candle? That makes me laugh! Definitely a "man candle" if anything!
So… I'm a girl, but pretty much most of everything on this list works for me too! Wonder if that makes me a man-girl? No. Let's just call this a gender-neutral list for my sanity-identity's sake.
you said doody.
Great post, I love 2,4,5 and 8-12. Off to shop.
So glad i'm not the only one who read it and thought "doody!"…oh the joys have having two 2yr old boys!
Love the speaker! Might have to pick it up as a gift.
Chris asked for 98% stuff for the kitchen, 1% tools and 1% clothes. And he counts "new basketball shorts" as clothes. So while I observed his wishes and got him things he really wanted, not going crazy in the Gap's men's department was hard! I learned a valuable lesson though–what us women want to get our men, isn't necessarily what they really want to receive. Hence–1% clothes. Hahaha.
I did have fun putting together a dream gift guide for a guy though. Just not my guy necessarily. http://www.chrislovesjulia.com/2012/12/you-cant-go-wrong-gifts-for-him-her-and.html
Kreg Jig, for the win! Although that really might be more for me. I also got a battalion of balsa wood airplanes, just as a cheap, fun stocking-stuffer. Lots of fun on Christmas morning.
Excellent! My husband is such a good sport with our three cats and I needed one extra little gift for him so I just ordered the Oatmeal book. Thanks for posting these!
The Oatmeal is hilarious. And now I want my next journal to say "Nefarious Ideas" on the front. Definitely sounds like a Dr. Horrible type of idea. :)
Those are some great ideas…I especially love the fist pump poster…that would be awesome for my office…and i would totally be down for the campfire smelling candles…some cool finds!
I bought my husband that bike wallet last year! We are the next J&S {only M&A}. :)
These are great ideas. I never think to get my hubby home decor gifts, but I'm sure he'd love the posters and the magazine rack.
Boom. Wallet purchased. Thanks for the suggestion, John!
We posted about the man candles too! How funny are they?
"Do men even having "fancies" "
Answer — only in England.
And have.
Totally just bought the cat book! My boyfriend is always talking about how the cat is trying to kill him!
Hi John & Sherry!
This are all very cool!
Do you have any suggestions for a seminary student/theology lover?… I cant seem to find anything for my husband that is not a book… ;/
My husband is a theology lover too. He LOVED the audio recording of C.S. Lewis's radio talks that eventually were turned into his book "The Four Loves." You can download them from Audible.com or get a hard copy with 4 cd's here http://www.christianbook.com/the-four-loves-audiobook-on/c-s-lewis/9780849963728/pd/963729
Check out http://www.beestill.org/
I think the cat book is the best thing on that list. I'm not a fan of cats myself, but there's no way that book can't be good.
My husband always tells me he wishes we could be tortoises so we could live very long lives together. That led me to purchase a tortoise print for our gallery wall from this Etsy shop for him: http://www.etsy.com/listing/108481726/tortoise-original-watercolor-painting?ga_search_query=tortoise. I'm pretty pumped about it and I'm certain he'll love it!
Yay, Homage! I was just at one of their stores this morning to pick up a gift for my husband. Love their stuff, and shopping local.
Love all these idea. It's the most relatable holiday gift post I've seen on the web this whole season! Too bad I got hubby a medical drawing textbook. coughdorkcough
So much for no more shopping! I knew I shouldn't have looked, off to see if I can get some of these things before Christmas….otherwise I'll save them for Valentine's Day :)
Oh man. YHL reads The Oatmeal! And thus my fandoms collide. Next I'm going to find out you all watch Doctor Who or something. :-)
John and Sherry watching Doctor Who = awesome. They're all on Netflix and I just watched the last episode.
Check out this iphone mount for a road bike- I got this for my cyclist dad. http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/iphone-bike-mount
John, I know you just spent 10 hours creating this mood board… but do you happen to have any cheap stocking stuffer ideas for guys??
Love the magazine idea–just bought a $5 subscription to Esquire for my man (we are starting a tradition of doing about $30 worth of random fun stuff in each other's stockings since our one big gift usually isn't a surprise!). Thanks John!
There are also a lot of really fun stocking stuffers at Urban Outfitters. I'd check them out too. :) Of course there is always lottery tickets, cheap gift cards and homemade cards or coupons you could add too.
I've been totally stumped on a gift for my husband. There was a Slate magazine article about the most comfortable hoodie ever but it was sold out when I went to the website (and $80) so I'll have to check out that American Apparel one.

5.0 out of 5 stars spectacular panorama of a watershed,
rob crawford "Rob Crawford" (Balmette Talloires, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution (Hardcover)
This has got to be one of the best history books I have ever read. Unlike his other books, which all to often get lost in sensuous detail, this one is a perfect balance of analysis and portraits of the quirkiness of the human condition. In other words, you get a flavor for the vast array of people involved, while the narrative follows well trod lines. It is an immensely complex story. The result is a masterpiece and truly great.
Schama's take on the Revolution is that what happened was far more richly textured than the crude class-based analyses that have held sway for too long. In what I believe is a convincing performance, he shows that not only was (the politically inept) Louis XVI pursuing many progressive agendas for change, but that it was the aristocrat-intellectuals who formed the basis of the Revolutionary leadership and not bourgeois or working class heroes. What made it so violent, in this reading, was the collapse of the old order and then the struggles that ensued for the control of the instruments of military and police power. It was the birth of the popular army, he concludes, and not the abstract ideals enshrined in official propaganda, that was the real legacy of the Revolution and the basis for Napoleon's later military dominance.
What makes it all such a watershed event was that it was the first example of the passions unleashed by nationalist fanaticism: the jacobans led directly to the communards and then the more purified revolutionary violences of fascism and marxist-leninism. Reading of the horrors of the Terror, this is also convincing (and frightening).
One of the greatest pleasures of this book is the personalities that Schama describes in loving detail, as they appear and re-appear at crucial moments. You get the heavyweights Lafayette and Talleyrand, but also innumerable lesser known characters, whose lives and fates the author takes to symbolise the Revolution's legacy. If you know Paris, you learn who a lot of the people were whose names are on the streets and the institutions, such as Necker and de la Tour du Pin. That made it especially fun for me, but that is personal.
That being said, the book is occasionally uneven. Though Schama tells a great story in the most elegant of prose, there are sections that read as if it were written too fast. Moreover, the story is so complex that some basic details, such as what the people in the various factions actually thought and stood for, are lost or obscured by the endless succession of stories.
Warmly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Sorry People,
"What a sorry people to found a republic" wrote Charlotte Corday after despatching Marat in his bath. It is one of many telling judgements made on the generation of 89 in this excellent narrative of the French Revolution.
CITIZENS is a lengthy narrative history or chronicle, as the subtitle says. Personalities figure large in this account as they did on the historical stage. It is an exciting tale he tells. There is less attention paid to economic and social forces, but they too have their place. The fiscal crisis that precipitated the whole shebang is very well analysed and explained. The failure of the new statesmen to solve it sounded the tocsin for them, too.
Never mind how many histories have been written of the French revolution, there are numerous histories of the histories of the French Revolution. First published in 1987 CITIZENS did not chime with the anniversary mood in Paris. It presents a conservative position, not new but using modern research. The years 1789-1795 were violent and the author does not hold back from saying so. He asserts that violence was a key part of the revolutionary process, not an accidental side-effect. Further it could not be justified as the necessary labour pains of a new society; rather the revolution interrupted the economic transformation of France that was getting underway beforehand. The fiscal crisis that brought down Louis XVI was not insoluble; a constitutional monarchy was easily possible as late as 1792. In the name of "liberty" the rioting sansculottes looked backwards not forwards.
Other reviewers have dismissed CITIZENS because it is partial/one-sided/biased and its author is not a specialist. Some have suggested alternative accounts. I think that is fair. Many historians have spent their whole lives studying this topic, but despite or because their works are very lengthy and not easy to read. CITIZENS provides enough background for the reader to take on these more "serious" texts and indeed reassess the judgements of Simon Schama.
The author makes the reader really interested in the French Revolution. It is a much more gripping read than A Place of Greater Safety.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable. Time-wise a demanding read, but worthwhile and relevant today.,
Having recently watched a programme about the French Revolution on BBC 2 I wanted to learn more...
Is this (as some of the Amazon 'one star' reviewers claim) an inaccurate and 'biased' telling of the French Revolution? I don't know enough about the history and the views and analysis of other credible historians to say. However, in light of the Arab Spring and the varied and complex attributions to causes and influences, what the author captures about the French Revolution - at least in terms of context-setting and events leading up to 1789 (not to stretch comparison with recent events and their legacies too far) - feels surprisingly contemporary and relevant (the book was published in 1989).
It is convincing, brilliantly written and an engrossing read. Yes, it is a very large book and in places perhaps a tad too detailed, but you do not have to be a devoted reader of history books to find this enjoyable, worthwhile and thought-provoking. I was at first sceptical about the value of including a large amount of contemporary illustrations, but they add relevant texture, explanation and interest (perhaps the equivalent of reflecting the use and influence of social media today?). Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tremendous Performance,
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of The French Revolution (Paperback)
Citizens is a truly wonderful example of narrative historical writing - a "tremendous performance", to borrow a favourite expression of Simon Schama. The author prefers a more old-fashioned interpretation of the French revolution, which presents the revolution as a drama and focuses on the characters that determine the unravelling of the plot. This choice provides the book with the memorable stories, such as the royal family's comically feckless flight from Paris in 1791, that make it such a delightful read. It is a liberating experience to find a general historical survey that does away with the conventional, stultifying analytical distinctions between economic, social and political factors. Instead, the reader can interact directly - as well as chronologically, which makes it easy to dip in and out of - with the actors and the events without having to navigate around tedious discussions of causal significance or complex arguments with other historians.
But it is the skill with which Schama recounts events like the fall of the Bastille that makes this book unique and easily the most enjoyable modern history of the revolution in English. The embellishing vocabulary (readers are advised to have a dictionary to hand), the recurring motifs (the revolutionary obsession with heads, whether on pikes or as busts) and the vivid build-up of tension are the true strengths of this so-called chronicle. It is perfect for the novice reader and the enlightened amateur alike. Citizens demands re-reading for the richness of its description to be fully appreciated, especially its masterful reconstruction of the fascinating and sometimes disturbing culture of the old regime, which is probably the most accessible that exists. The only disappointment is that it ends with Thermidor, in 1794. After 800 pages, one is still hoping for more, which is the highest recommendation possible for this genre of historical writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1789 revisited,
By A Customer
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution (Paperback)
This is essential reading for anyone interested in France, history and the Enlightenment, - exactly how much light was brought to mankind by the cast behind the French Revolution of 1789? And,conversely, how dark was the ancien régime really? All the answers in this immensely readable book. If you can only read one book about the crucial moment of European history, this is the one.

This is a curious book as it doesn't know if its a novel or a history textbook. This is not necessarily an issue except that there can be an uneasy trade-off between trying to explain the Revolution versus trying to provide an account of the Revolution as events unfolded. This book probably is better at achieving the latter and given that it would probably not suit the purpose of being a historical primer on the Revolution. There are lengthy passages devoted to the then popular aristocratic pastime of ballooning, or to the lewd rumors circulating about Parisian high society but there might also be dry lengthy accounts of political machinations. It is undoubtedly incredibly well-researched and entertaining to read but will not suit a reader who only has high-school knowledge on the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars A massive book!,
ECD (Great Britain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution (Hardcover)
The French Revolution is such a massive subject, and that itself makes a massive problem both for readers and writers - how to steer a course between a simplification which will mislead the reader into supposing that it was so simple, or on the other hand a full presentation in which most readers will eventually just get lost. Simon Schama, who confesses in his preface that he isn't given to writing short books, opted for the fuller style. For my money, he was right and I'm glad to have this book and to have read most of it (maybe I'll go on and finish it too, some day). Don't go to this for a light holiday read, but if you're prepared to give it time, you may find it, as I did, very rewarding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocks and Hard Places - Paradise Visions turn to Hell,
Rowland Nelken (Nottingham, England, UK) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of The French Revolution (Paperback)
The French Revolution was many things. Simon Schama is aware that, even in 875 pages, only some of those things can be told. This book focuses on individuals and their personal and political development. For all the variety of background of the main revolutionary players, there are some common threads.
Popular as well as academic culture had, in the 18th century, been promoting an idealised 'natural' way of life; the antithesis of the stilted rituals and dress of the Court at Versailles. Schama makes much of the enormous influence of Rousseau. Those revolutionaries with any education (most of them; the revolution was largely an aristocratic movement), had been taught to revere the great ideals of the Roman Republic. Many had also seen service in the American War of Independence. The French motivation for involvement may have focused on trouncing the old British enemy. Fighting for Republican ideals only to return to the Divine monarchy that was Louis XVI's France seemed like unfinished business.
Schama deals in depth with the mixed personality of the King. A reforming king, interested in the sciences, happy to abolish oppressive feudal practices, he was, nevertheless, a prisoner of his role. His coronation had acted out his Divine appointment. This mixture of reason and ancient superstition made him weak in practice. Time and again he would make quasi democratic concessions, only to renege later.
A picture emerges of a society so ill at ease with itself, that it feels it needs a complete cleansing and makeover. In practice that can only be done with a complete extinction of the population. For all the destruction of privelege, custom and people, Schama points out just how much of the old France survived for centuries. The Catholic Church has withered, but is still intact. Some great noble estates continue to be owned by the great nobility.
This book is a terrific introduction to a complex and confusing series of terrible events. It has inspired this reader to want to discover more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading for experts and non-buffs alike,
By A Customer
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution (Paperback)
It's fascinating to read the other reviews of Schama's books here on Amazon - to his detractors he's either too dry and so obsessed with minutiae, anecdotes and personalities that his work becomes difficult to read, or that his approach is too simplistic, too determined to appeal to the broadest possible audience and verging on the dumbed-down. For me the beauty of Schama's work is that he is always able to find exactly the right pitch between readable, enjoyable narrative and learned, impeccably-researched discourse. He avoids going too far in either direction, at any point, and never once looks in danger of falling into "for the general reader" narrative fluff without substance or insight, or lengthy dissertation dreariness on obtuse avenues of limited interest.
For me "Citizens" is a book that shows Schama at the absolute peak of his powers of both storytelling and questioning - it never once fails to fascinate, and never once feels even slightly condescending. If you've read a lot of studies of the French Revolution, there's still a huge amount in here to cast new light on that which you thought you knew, and to challenge long-held assumptions - and yet aside from the preface, it's not revisionist in tone at all. If you've never read anything about the Revolution before, this is also a good place to start - Schama's prose is as easy to read as ever, and the whole book is very similar in style and approach to "A History of Britain Volume II", with its rich character portraits adding to, rather than distracting from, the narrative explanation, and its complex and intricate matters unravelled and explained so simply that one wonders why they ever seemed complex and intricate in the first place. Outstanding stuff.

1.0 out of 5 stars Steer Clear,
Jacques Louvet (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Citizens: A Chronicle of The French Revolution (Paperback)
I've read around 30-40 books on the French Revolution and all that i can conclude from this book is that Schama is, at least on this topic, a rather simple man. He adds nothing new in his reductionist narrative of individuals and scary mobs. I can admire the (not so) fresh debate a revisionist such as Fran�ois Furet adds to the historiography of the French Revolution, even if i do not agree with all of their conclusions; and realise that Schama, as with most of his books, wants to make easy popular reads that will make money. However what is dangerous is that this accessible book is written with a deeply embedded prejudice that people may happily accept as a balanced review of the revolution - and my greatest fear is that will be the only book that they'll read and so their entire perspective of such a complex event will be reduced to Schama good/bad times, good/bad people, bad violence history.
If you want a quick introduction then try:
The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction by William Doyle
If you want a general introduction then try:
The French Revolution, 1789-1799 by Peter McPhee
If you want more on the provinces then try:
The Terror by David Andress
For left-wing balance try Geordge Rude or:
The French Revolution by Georges Lefebvre
And finally if you want history told as an accessible narrative of individuals without proper historiographical balance then perhaps some of the excellent historical-fictions rather than Schama's attempt at history.
A truly fantastic read (and well researched)is:
A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel
Otherwise try (but don't rely on for a proper historical analysis):
Fatal Purity by Ruth Scurr
The Gods Are Thirsty by Tanith Lee

Balance sheet.
Furniture sales increased 25 percent to $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of 1996, fueled by strong sell-through of Ameriwood products in the office superstore and warehouse club channels, as well as increased penetration in home centers.
The company also owns BIC America, which markets stereo speakers.
The 1996 quarter includes a non-recurring pre-tax charge of $1.15 million, related to the replacement of a defective futon cushion that was shipped primarily to regional retailers in the northeastern U.S. The 1995 results included a pre-tax charge of approximately $2.6 million for a management reorganization and estimated costs to complete environmental remediation at the company's Dowagiac, Mich., facility.
"Our fourth-quarter results, though hurt by the non-recurring charge, show some of the positive impact of our focus on productivity, process improvements and cost reductions, as well as our investments in capabilities for added features and styling," president and CEO Charles Foley said.
For its fiscal year, Ameriwood posted a net income of $479,900, or 11 cents per share, on net sales of $106.0 million.
Excluding the fourth-quarter charges, Ameriwood would have posted a pre-tax operating profit of $2.3 million for fiscal 1996, versus an operating loss of $1.7 million in 1995.

It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.

Want to save money? Check out the 2007 MINI Cooper
By KBB.com Editors
Although the MINI line-up, comprised of the Cooper and Cooper S, underwent a major redo last year, it's hard to see the changes until you get up close. The tiny cars have been an undeniable success, selling in numbers far exceeding parent company BMW's expectations. Hallmarks of the two-door four-seat hatchback's design include sporty handling, distinctive styling and more interior space than its small exterior dimensions might imply. The popularity of MINI has helped to expand America's acceptance of small cars and in many ways defined the premium small car market. Competitors to the MINI are varied and include the Volkswagen Beetle, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Mazda MX-5 and Audi A3.
If you want high style and high performance in a small package, the 2008 MINI Cooper is for you. It combines excellent handling and charming looks with a remarkable level of options available from the factory. Drivers who crave uniqueness will love the ability to tailor their MINIs to match their tastes.
If you regularly travel with more than one passenger or need lots of cargo space, pass on the MINI. Despite excellent use of the available space, it is still a very small car. Also, the MINI's ride may be too firm for those more interested in comfort than performance.
No major changes for 2008.
Driving Impressions Its light, easy-to-use clutch, responsive steering and quick-shifting transmission make commuting in the 2008 MINI a blast. In Cooper trim, the MINI has adequate acceleration but needs to be shifted...down a gear or two to maintain speed when driving uphill on the freeway. The Cooper S comes equipped with a turbocharged engine that provides ample power with virtually no lag. Peak torque is available from 1600 to 5000 rpm, resulting in quick and worry-free merging or passing maneuvers. An interesting feature is a standard Sport button which quickens throttle response, increases steering effort and speeds up shifts in MINIs equipped with automatic transmissions. The result is a car that's easy and livable during daily drives, yet with all the sporting flair you'd want available at the touch of a button.
Sport Button
The Sport Button is a wonderful solution that allows MINI drivers to live a double life. During daily commutes steering and throttle reactions are relaxed, making time behind the wheel less fatiguing. Push the Sport Button and the MINI transforms into a fun and focused driving machine.
Panoramic Sunroof
The optional sunroof covers both the front and rear passengers, adding a sense of spaciousness to the interior. Only the front portion of the sunroof opens but, with the front section in the vent position, the rear section also tilts up to let rear-seat passengers enjoy the breeze.
The MINI Cooper's interior is truly one-of-a-kind, with backlit armrests in the doors, handsomely sewn seats and a bold dash featuring a huge center-mounted speedometer. For such a small car the MINI makes the most of its available interior space. Those riding in the front seats enjoy excellent head and legroom. However, rear passengers may feel cramped with tight shoulder space and limited legroom. The dash panel is stylish, but the layout can be confusing and, though the knobs and switches look good, they can be difficult to operate. Like the rest of the MINI, the interior can be customized to suit the buyer's taste with a variety of dash trim colors, seat materials and metal, wood or carbon-fiber accents.Exterior
The 2008 MINI Cooper's body looks similar to that of the previous generation but includes a number of changes, including headlamps mounted to the body instead of the hood, rear side glass that no longer wraps around the C-pillar, a simpler front bumper design and a taller hood to accommodate new European pedestrian crash standards. Despite the changes, the latest Cooper retains all of the key MINI design cues, including a contrasting roof and side mirrors, large round headlamps and bulging black fender trim. A wide range of exterior colors is available, including the choice of black, white or body-color roof paint. Further, the MINI can be equipped with options like hood and roof stripes, aero kits, wheel and tire packages and a chrome package.
The 2008 MINI Cooper's standard equipment includes a push-button engine stop/start, AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers and MP3 capability, air conditioning, six-speed manual transmission, color-adjustable interior lighting, tilt/telescoping steering wheel and power windows and mirrors. Standard safety features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), anti-lock brakes (ABS), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and six airbags.
The MINI Cooper and Cooper S can be outfitted with numerous options. Although most are available as stand-alone additions, MINI combines many of its popular options into packages. The Premium Package includes steering wheel-mounted controls, sunroof and automatic air conditioning. The Convenience Package includes universal garage remote, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlamps and center arm rest. Also available are Sport, Cold Weather and high-end Audio Packages. In addition to the options available from the factory, MINI offers a wide range of dealer-installed accessories for customers to further customize their cars.
The 2008 MINI Cooper and Cooper S both have 1.6-liter in-line four-cylinder engines. Power in the Cooper is acceptable, but the turbocharged Cooper S engine is a powerhouse, with 177 pound-feet of maximum continuous torque from 1600 to 5000 rpm, and an "overboost" feature that temporarily increases engine torque to 191 pound-feet for extra bursts of acceleration. An easy-shifting six-speed manual transmission, or the optional automatic, allow either engine to operate in its ideal rpm range, maximizing performance and efficiency.

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"This car has been nothing but problems since we purchased it brand new in 2008. I thought the problem was isolated to our car because it seemed everyone loved Mini Coopers, however after talking to several friends, family and co-workers who also own one it appears the constant problems are common. Not only are they common the car is relatively costly to repair. We have had problems with the car randomly stalling out, not starting, sun roof not working, lighting and wiring not working and so much more. Any gas savings you think you would get is offset by the recommended "premium gas" and ridiculous cost to repair, maintain. The only saving grace this car has is if you are single or a couple without children, it is fun to drive."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 71,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fun to drive, good looks, reliable, fuel economy"
Cons: "Expensive German parts, small rear seats"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"As a college student, I needed something that got good fuel economy, and was fun, and my MINI Cooper S is the perfect car. It's surprising how much stuff I can fit in it, and how good it is in the snow of MI's UP. I average more than 35MPG with it and love the turbo engine's grunt. I love the uniqueness of the car, and it is instantly recognizable in the parking lot. Mine has been very reliable, with only having the change the front sway bars. The dealer did it for a reasonable price, but the parts were fairly expensive. The only other downside is the lack of space for rear passengers, but if the front passengers slide forward a little, there is adequate space."

South Korean school grades suffer due to smart phone addiction.
Original post made by Tibt, Esther Clark Park, on Jun 17, 2013
It is so bad the government is introducing new programs to try to stop it?
My question is do we know what we are doing here?

A blurb on the 11:00 news last year stated that some teens in South Korea suffered so badly from screen addiction that they refused to leave their computers long enough to eat, sleep, or get a drink of water. Two of them passed out and later died of dehydration and exhaustion.
As in the US, many South Korean children are overweight and friendless because they get no exercise or socialization due to their screen addictions, according to the same news feature.

Alpha Consumer Makes Green Finds in Eco-Friendly TravelWritten by Amy Givler
US News editor and Alpha Consumer blogger, Kimberly Palmer asked, Are Eco-Resorts Really Green? Initially skeptical, she wades through greenwash and finds real eco-friendly tourist destinations, among them Carbonfund.org partners. She mentions for example EcoTour Adventures in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Craftsman B&B on the pacific coast of Oregon who are committed to sustainability. When evaluating the green claims of any business, you can look for these signs: 1. They express their environmental commitment on their website or materials; 2. They are transparent about what they have done to reduce what they can or offset what they can't; 3. If you need more info, the contact person is familiar with and clear about their business' efforts. Getting green is crucial for the tourism industry. As a reminder, check out this article from the BBC yesterday that reports that the Caribbean region is among the regions said by scientists to be most at risk from the effects of global warming. Coral reefs face collapse from global warming and dealing with extreme weather is expected to cost $5 billion. Add that to the expected loss of $4 billion in travel revenue, the vacation in the Carribean in many people's dreams might, if the world doesn't take action pass into legend. We all have a carbon footprint. Take responsibility for yours now. Learn more about how you can reduce and offset your footprint on our website.

Allegheny Contract Flooring: Laying the Groundwork for Carbon and Waste ReductionsWritten by Emily Pugliese
When Allegheny Contract Flooring joined our CarbonFree® Business Program in 2008 they pledged to "reduce, reduce, reduce" and they have taken significant steps to do just that. Through their Office of Sustainability they are working to rapidly transform their own operations to be sustainable and kind to the environment. Perhaps the most impressive achievement is their Zero Waste to Landfill Policy. To date, they have recycled more than 3,000,000 pounds of broadloom and carpet tile. Considering construction and demolition debris comprises about 40 percent of the solid waste stream this is an extremely important strategy. Where practical, some of this reclaimed material is restored and donated to charitable and other not for profit organizations, some is reused in the carpet manufacturing process, and some finds new life in the form of such disparate items as park benches, automobile accessories and curb blocks. None of it is disposed of in landfills. None of it is burned in incinerators. 100% is recycled. Allegheny Contract Flooring is New England's largest commercial flooring company. The company was founded in 1945 and has been owned by the Auditore family ever since. Daniel and James Auditore took over ownership of the company in 2005 with the goal of not only being New England's largest but also New England's greenest commercial flooring company. Allegheny is offsetting their corporate footprint by supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. For more information, please visit www.alleghenycontract.com.

Carbonfund.org Speaks at Nat'l Press Club on Offsets, an Integral Climate Change SolutionWritten by Ivan Chan
Carbonfund.org President Eric Carlson today appeared with author and professor Robert H. Frank at a National Press Club Newsmaker Event. The topic, selected by a committee of the Press Club, was an economic assessment of carbon offsets, particularly in context of the cap-and-trade climate legislation in Congress. Last Friday, the House of Representatives passed the landmark climate bill, which now awaits debate and a vote in the Senate. Speaking at the event, Eric said, "The great thing about cap-and-trade is that the environment gets its piece upfront. The cap is set at the right level with slow reductions and the market has to figure out how to get there." For example, quality carbon offsets can be a cost-effective way to reduce carbon footprints. Carbonfund.org offers third-party validated and certified offsets meeting the highest accepted standards. To reach the approx. 80% reduction in 2050 set by the climate bill recently passed by the House, about a 2% - 3% reduction annually would be required. This goal, said Eric, is extremely doable. Dr. Frank, who recently published The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide: Common Sense Principles for Troubled Times and is a New York Times economics columnist, noted that the climate bill incentivizes emissions reductions through cap-and-trade. It's a sensible approach that places a set level of overall reductions for the nation. In addition, the most efficient operations, or companies, are rewarded while less efficient companies in terms of their energy use and carbon emissions, are encouraged through this process to be more efficient.

House Passes Historic Climate Change BillWritten by Eric Carlson
Just a few moments ago, the US House of Representatives passed the historic American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES), otherwise known as cap-and-trade. The vote passed 219-212. The bill's goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 83% by 2050. While the bill still must go through the Senate and then conference before heading to the President, it represents a major accomplishment in the fight against climate change. This is your victory! Solving climate change is ultimately about leadership. We saw this in the House today. But it is your leadership as Carbonfund.org supporters and partners over the last five years that made this bill possible. Just a few years ago few people had any idea what the term 'carbon footprint' meant. Now the term is used regularly and even spoofed in The Onion. And so-called experts talked about carbon costing $50-100 per tonne, potentially wrecking our economy, not the real-life $5-10 per tonne we see today. You knew climate change was a serious problem. And while you were under no obligation to take any action, you did. You reduced your emissions and you committed yourself, family or business to being carbon neutral. You supported third-party verified projects that reduced emissions. You spurred investment in clean energy projects and reforestation. And you showed it can all be done without breaking the bank. Make no mistake, if we were still debating economic models showing theoretical carbon costs, this historic bill would not be possible. ACES is possible today because of what you have shown in the real world, that people want to reduce their carbon output, that it can be done relatively easily and that we can do it very cost-effectively. Indeed, while the bill aims for an 83% reduction in 2050, and just 17% by 2020, many of you have reduced your emissions by 100% today. Over 1,200 businesses and organizations and more than 450,000 individuals have reduced and offset their carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, showing leadership when few even knew what they were talking about. We'll all need to continue to minimize and offset our carbon emissions even after our country acts, but the commitment you have shown on fighting climate change has created the momentum, visibility, and call for action on climate change. So enjoy this victory today. Solving climate change is about leadership and your leadership has brought us to this historic moment. Congratulations!

Thank god Rachel Zoe came out with her own shoe line. I always, as I'm sure most girls do, admire her style, and really admired her shoes! She knows just the right things to do to create the perfect bootie. I loved the material of the black bootie and of course the heel. It is the highest heel I have seen in a while, but still super comfortable. It has almost like a cushion on the inside of it that makes them easy to walk in. The other pair that she created were the classic black pump. I have been looking for the perfect pair for fall and I have finally found them. They are beautiful classic leather black, an extremely high heel (YES!!), and cushioned/platformed for our comfort. Who knows us better than Rachel Zoe? They make a nice skinny jean and blouse ensemble look perfectly tailored. They also happen to be really sexy because of the way your foot fits in. It shows just the perfect amount of foot cleavage. Which pair do I need to buy first?!

We haven't spoken much about science on the farm, but we've had a number of projects going over the last few years. Last season, KCC Urban Farm ran a small experiment to see how adding minerals to our soil could boost plant nutrition. This year, we plan to expand upon that experiment, so stay tuned for internship opportunities!
The problem:
Soil is made out of minerals (50%), air (23%), water (23%), and organic matter (4%). Because KCC Urban Farm is lucky enough to receive donations of compost from the Department of Sanitation, however, our soil has 30% organic matter! What does this mean for us? For growing our high quality vegetables, it means we have to test our soil for the nutrients plants need to grow.
The solution:
Based on the soil test results, we can add mineral amendments based on what we're missing.
The experiment:
We want to know if our mineral amendments are leading to healthier crops. In 2014, we ran a small experiment on our tomato plants: we amended only half of the plants for each variety of tomato. After a couple of weeks, we measured calcium and brix levels in new and old leaves for all of the tomato plants. We did the same thing a couple of months later. Calcium is important for plant growth – plant cells use it for structure. It's also a good indicator of nutrient uptake. Brix is a measure of plant sugars – if brix is high, we know our plants have everything they need to thrive.

New stone or capping for porch ledge?
I have an older home that has what I think is a concrete ledge on top of brick. It's about 10.5" wide. It's cracked in a few places. I was given the option of either stablizing it and then capping it with metal, or removing it and replacing it with a white granite which of course is more.
Does the metal capping hold up over the years? Does the granite crack from freeze and thaw cycles? Any synthetic matterial that resembles stone that holds up better that's on the market? We are in NY.
Would appreciate any advice as I know nothing about this at all. Thanks!
My understanding is that freeze-thaw cycles don't affect granite, unless the granite is cracked, or water gets under the granite. So, proper installation is critical.
If you're up to doing it yourself, you may get help here:
Bricks, Masonry, Asphalt and Concrete
If your not interested in doing it yourself, you need to make sure your getting good advice from an honest contractor.
You could join Angie's List to find a reputable contractor in your area. I join Angie's List periodically for 30 days -- to keep the cost down. I cancel my membership within the first 30 days because I really don't have a need for an annual membership.

RECIPE: Bourbon Steak
I just posted this on the Kitchen Table & thought it ought to be here also. An older version of a stir-fry & very flavorful.
Bourbon Steak
4-6 servings
1-1 1/2 lb rib-eye or sirloin steak
2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp butter
2 tsp olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 c. strong beef broth
dash hot pepper sauce
3 Tbsp bourbon
salt, pepper
1 Tbsp chopped chives or green onion
Cut meat into thin slices. Pound meat between sheets of wax paper until about 1/8-inch thick. Pat dry.
Heat 1 Tbsp butter with oil in large heavy skillet until smoking hot. Quickly saute meat, about 20 seconds per side, adding remaining butter as needed. Transfer to plate as slices are browned.
Reduce heat under skillet to low. Add 1 tsp. butter & saute shallot one minute. Add garlic & cook until golden.
Whisk in mustard, beef broth, hot pepper sauce & bourbon. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened.
Return meat to skillet & toss briefly to heat through.
Season to taste with salt & pepper. Sprinkle with chives.
Great sounding recipe! I jsut had Bourbon Chicken for the first time at a local restaurant. I think it may have been the same sauce done with thinly sliced chicken breast. At least it reads like it might be - I am certainly going to give it a try!
Thanks for posting
That sounds wonderful. One of my butchers is having chip steak on sale this weekend. It's very thin sliced rib roast, used for Philly cheese steaks. That would save me the slicing and pounding so that's on the menu for sure this weekend. Thanks for posting it.
I made Bourbon Steak tonight and DH and I both loved it. I used the chip steak so the meat didn't look pretty (but it doesn't on a cheese steak sandwich either LOL). Next time I'll use the whole steak and do my own slicing.
I liked that the sauce wasn't too thick. The only change I made was to add a little bit of Worcestershire sauce while it was cooking down. Side dishes were sauteed parslied red skinned potatoes and corn and green lima bean succotash.
Thank you for a wonderful recipe, Kathleen.
Thanks for your interest, all; I didn't realize this recipe would be so liked. It's an easy & good beef recipe. I have made it for as many as 8 people, but that means spending half your afternoon slicing meat.
Ruthanna, I'm making it tonight (my DH is just back from 3 weeks in Australia & is hungering for beef) & I'm going to add Worchestershire as you did.

Head to Head: Steelers LT Jonathan Scott vs. Colts DE Dwight Freeney
A closer look at the game within the game
Sunday, September 25, 2011
By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
NFL Photos
Steelers LT Jonathan Scott vs. Colts DE Dwight Freeney
Listen to left tackle Jonathan Scott and see if he sounds like a man keenly aware of what he is up against tonight in Lucas Oil Stadium --trying to stop Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney.
"It can pose a problem," Scott said. "If you focus on just his spin move, you got to worry about his bull-rush. If you just worry about his bull-rush, you got to worry about his pressure. If you worry about his pressure, you got to worry about him collapsing the outside."
Now listen to Trai Essex, who faced the same task as Scott six years ago, back when the Colts played in the much-louder RCA Dome and he had to replace injured starter Marvel Smith after one series. Essex was a rookie, and the Steelers didn't have a silent count for their offensive linemen.
"He's a little faster on turf, especially that short turf they had back then," Essex said. "It's impossible to hear the cadence, especially going against fast defensive ends like he is, who key off the snap like he does at their place. Nah, that's impossible. He's a beast to deal with."
It was after that regular-season game in 2005 that the Steelers developed a silent count to deal with such crowd noise. Scott, a starter at left tackle since Week 12 last season, will rely on that and more when he faces Freeney, a six-time Pro Bowler who has more sacks (95), more forced fumbles (42) than any active player since '02.
