New home buyers are coming back, but they dont want the same old McMansion. They want a house they can use.
That means a great room where everyone can gather and a spalike bathroom to escape from the crowd.
But usefulness also extends to lots of storage space for big-box buys. It means drop-off zones for recharging smartphones and pet-friendly puppy showers. It means a home office actually designed for work and media centers made for play. It means big closets and little nooks.
These new homes combine practicality with the way we want to live now, builders say.
Were rolling out all new designs, said Jeff Lake, national head of architecture for major builder Standard Pacific Homes, which has new tracts under construction in Rocklin and El Dorado Hills. We completely re-did our entire inventory with a huge emphasis on design.
These designs are the culmination of a three-year process, Lake said.
We did a lot of research, he said. We studied how people actually live in their homes. We found theyre more connected than ever and not just texting.
They want to feel connected to their family as well as to their media, Lake said. In California, they also want to feel connected to the great outdoors with windows everywhere and patio rooms that look like their indoor counterparts.
We realized it truly is different the way people live now, Lake said. (Buyers) are not as formal. They want life to be simplified.
According to experts, todays home buyers are much more budget conscious, a natural consequence of the recession. They demand more value per square foot. Theyre not interested in rooms they will rarely use such as a formal dining room. Most of all, home buyers want a house that works for them.
McMansions put a huge percentage (of square footage) into hallways and formal spaces that are used infrequently, Lake said. It adds up to a lot of square footage. Were building homes with 1,000 less square feet but every room feels bigger because the house isnt so cut up.
A walk-through of new luxury home models in Rocklin at Standard Pacifics Manzanita at Whitney Ranch illustrates his point. Priced at $454,000 to $504,000, each home featured a mammoth great room combining a large kitchen with family, dining and living room space into one very large area without halls.
Great rooms are the No. 1 requested feature among current new home buyers, real estate experts say.
Everybody ends up in the kitchen, so why not make room for them? Lake said. (Traditionally), most homes defined circulation zones with a lot of hallways. This gave us the opportunity to do something totally different.
One kitchen/great room combo had a layout that could double as a small restaurant. The L-shaped area had space for three dining sets one adjacent to the kitchen, another for more formal gatherings in the living area and a third near a media wall that could double as a game table. Separating the kitchen from the great room, a 14-foot island served as a buffet and breakfast bar. Every eating area could see the media wall, anchored by a 70-inch flat-screen TV.
Meant for entertaining, this great room can hold a crowd. At a recent community event, 75 people gathered in this space.
And it still felt comfortable, said Danielle Tocco of Standard Pacific Homes. Its the perfect kind of room for a large family.
Said Lake, Dining, cooking, communication; theyre all connected. We used to be more compartmentalized. Now, people want flow.
New home construction is finally bouncing back after the recession. In 2012, new home sales increased by 67 percent in the Sacramento area compared to 2011, according to the Gregory Group, a Folsom-based new home consulting company. In 2012, 2,782 new homes were sold in the four-county Sacramento region, up from 1,668 the year before.
Building and buying still have a long ways to go to catch up with the pre-recession boom. During the downturn, new home construction in the area fell to a 50-year low. At its peak in 2004, about 17,000 new homes were sold in the Sacramento region, said the Gregory Group. Annual sales for the past 15 years average 8,765 new homes.
New inventory and new designs can help lure buyers back into the market.
Alicia Eckman of Rocklin and her mother, Sylvia Vining, recently toured the Manzanita models.
Builders are getting smarter, Eckman said. They think about everything.
Besides the great room, the women pointed to other thoughtful touches such as mud rooms (some with a dog-friendly shower to wash dirty paws) and drop zones, located near the entrance doors and designed to encourage organization.
It gives you a place to drop your stuff right when you walk in, Eckman said.
I like the his-and-hers (walk-in) closets a lot! Vining added of the master bedroom.
In my home, I have very little storage space, Eckman said. Everything is in the garage. I liked the upstairs laundry room with the storage right there (near the bedrooms). How convenient! Boom, its done!
I love the little homework area tucked behind the kitchen, Vining said of a computer nook. You can still keep an eye on the kids, but they cant see the TV (in the great room).
Other thoughtful highlights: A home office near the front door (convenient for deliveries) and state-of-the-art smart technology to keep the home running as efficiently as possible.
New homes have the space for everything but its a matter of how to use that space.
In 40 years, new homes have grown substantially nationwide. The average new home is 44 percent larger than one built in 1973, according to real estate statistics. Back then, the average new house measured 1,660 square feet. In 2007, the national average hit 2,521.
Although construction came to a virtual standstill during the recession, home size slipped only slightly. The average new house still measures 2,480 square feet.
A mid-size home is now considered anything between 2,500 and 3,000 square feet. According to U.S. Census statistics, about 20 percent of new homes fall in that category. Almost 20 percent fit the 3,000- to 4,000-square-foot range. Another 7 percent top 4,000 square feet.
The most popular new home size 1,800 to 2,400 square feet accounts for 27 percent of new homes, but that also includes townhouses and other attached dwellings as well as single-family homes.
People assumed that, during the recession, everyone would just start building smaller homes, said Lake, noting Standard Pacifics Manzanita homes range from 2,400 to 3,200 square feet. But actually, were still building big, but smarter.
New homes also tend to feel like resort living, an outgrowth of staycations. Next to the great room, the most requested amenity is a spa bathroom, Lake said.
We take a lot of cues from hospitality, Lake said. Think about the best vacation spot youve been to. Thats what people want particularly the spa bath for their home.
That includes the whole idea of a spa, he added, with such amenities as a soaking tub, steam shower, luxurious cabinetry and natural stone.
People want huge showers über showers, car-wash showers, Lake said. I havent found a limit yet on a shower thats too big. Everybody wants a seat in the shower, too. Its another case of dedicating square footage where people use it every day.

The community thinks...
The wagon that can't be beat... Get one before they are all gone! by AtlAcura on 06/24/2014. Trim: 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon 5-Spd AT w/Technology Package, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Stylish, sporty, handling, all day driving comfort, fuel economy, uniqueness on the road, RELIABILITY, value for features compared to other premium wagons Not a typical wagon look; I like that it doesn't have cladding, wheel arch plastic or faux off-road add-ons
Cons: Only 5 speed automatic (great transmission but a few more gears would help with acceleration and economy). Rear seat foot room, leg room is okay but foot space under seats is a little small
Overall review: The TSX Sport Wagon is a great combination of performance, style, features and value. When looking for a new car I was searching for something a little different that I would not see 500 of everyday. The TSX Sport Wagon has that uniqueness. Compared to other wagons (Volvo V60, Audi Allroad, VW Jetta) the TSX has a style and sexiness that isn't trying too hard and RELIABILITY that can't be beat. Except for the Jetta, spec'ing the others the same as this car would be 7 to 10 thousand (based on MSRP) more plus I was able to walk out the door for under 33,000 total. Yes it only has a 5-speed auto and no full iPhone integration but MPGs are mid-20s(commute) to mid-30s (highway) I may be biased on the reliability part as I've owned 1st generation TSX and RDX and each had 0 problems in the 4 and 3 years I've had them. Additionally, I still have a 92 Integra with over 280,000 miles that except for regular maintenance items has only needed 4 batteries, CV joints and a master cylinder.

The baby bribe goes mainly to the rich and beneficiaries
As we all know now Labour lied when they said 60,000 families a year will get Labour's promised $3000 baby bribe or "Best Start Payment". We now know that the 25,000 families who get paid parental leave will not get it for a year, just six months. So they'll get $1,500 only – not $3.000
But the fine print also reveals that the 15,000 families who get the Parental Tax Credit of $1,200 will lose that, so their net gain will be a mere $1,800.
The PTC goes to families who do not get paid parental leave, are not on a benefit and earn under $80,000 to $110,000 (depending on number of children).
So that means only around 20,000 families will get the full $3,000 that Labour claimed 60,000 families will get.
So who are those 20,000 families. They are either beneficiaries or those earning around $100,000 to $150,000. They are the only ones who get the full $3,000.
Not exactly well targeted support. And very different to what Labour's speech and advertisement said.
If Labour hadn't wanted to deceive, they would have done tables showing how different families would be impacted – what they gain and what they lose. But instead they did tables just showing what they gain.
Political commentator David Farrar posts at Kiwiblog.
Comments and questions6
It does make you wonder why there wasn't a $100k cut off as that would target it in a sensible way, and even more so from a Labour perspective.
I still haven't seen anywhere that details how 'Family Income' is determined. Is it piggybacking off WFF or a totally new concept.
Can anyone trust David Cunliffe about anything, when he deliberately obfuscates the facts every time he talks or puts something in his own CV even?
He's got form too in speaking out both sides of his mouth at once - even has different accents and different messages for different audiences... but I guess perceptions matter.
..and remember, after a long, 3 week leadership contest this is Labour's talent cream who rose to the top - and it was he who was anointed "The Leader"
This policy and its communication has got to be the end of Labour's challenge doesn't it? It is abundantly clear that these clowns have got no idea what they are doing and are not fit to run a school raffle let alone a country. If I was a Labour supporter (which I am clearly not) I would be wanting heads to roll over this shambles.
But don't forget that his target audience, those potential Labour voters who don't bother to vote, won't read this, not will they dissect his words -they'll just recall that "Labour will give me another $3,000 pa if I vote for them"
Actually, the full policy was there in black and white on the Labour Party website for anybody to read - Pity Patrick Gower was obviously too busy checking out the latrine acoustics to bother checking his facts before he opened his mouth! If Labour were trying to hide things and mislead people, why were the complete policy details printed on their website? No speech can have every single little detail in it - Did Key's education policy speech have every minute detail in it? Don't think so!! Patrick Gower is just plain lazy!

David Arterburn, MD, MPH
Associate Investigator, GHRI
Group Health Physician, Internal Medicine

Curriculum vitae (CV)
Research interests and experience
- Obesity: bariatric surgery; health services research; economics and risk adjustment; pharmaceutical outcomes research
- Health services & economics: obesity prevention and control
- Medication use & patient safety: pharmaco-epidemiology, pharmacogenetics, pharmaceutical outcomes research
- Patient/provider interaction: shared decision making
David Arterburn's main research focus is on finding safe, effective, and innovative ways to treat obesity. He is a general internist and health services researcher with a passionate commitment to helping individuals and families make treatment decisions that align with their values while sustaining their health over the long haul.
A national leader in obesity research, Dr. Arterburn joined Group Health Research Institute (GHRI) in 2006 to forge a new program of research spanning behavioral, pharmaceutical, and bariatric surgical care. Before joining GHRI, he published important findings on the epidemic nature and rising cost of obesity in the United States. Because tackling the obesity crisis requires a menu of treatment options, Dr. Arterburn's current research covers a broad range, including policy-level interventions for health plans, pharmaco-epidemiology, pharmacogenetics, the long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery, and shared decision making related to elective surgery. With the support of the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation, for whom he serves as a medical editor, he has collaborated with Group Health's specialty leadership to implement and evaluate a new initiative to promote shared decision making around elective surgical care with video-based patient decision aids. The approach shows great promise for simultaneously improving the quality and lowering the costs of health care.
Dr. Arterburn's prior research in the area of obesity pharmacotherapy has had a significant impact on clinical practice guidelines issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the American College of Physicians. Dr. Arterburn is past chair of the Adult Obesity Measurement Advisory Panel sponsored by the National Committee on Quality Assurance, founding chair of the Obesity Society's Health Services Research Section, and past chair of HMO Research Network (HMORN)'s Obesity Special Interest Group. He is also an affiliate associate professor in the University of Washington (UW) Department of Medicine. Dr. Arterburn is excited to continue his multidisciplinary work with these and other colleagues from the HMORN, the UW, and the VA.

An internal investigation is under way into two Eunice firemen who allegedly beat a man who they though broke into their truck.
Garrett Daville and Ryan Daville are charged with second-degree battery in connection with the incident. Police logs say that when officers arrived on the scene, the suspect was unconscious.
Fire chief Mike Arnold says while the investigation is ongoing, the brothers are still employed by the fire department, saying they are innocent until proven guilty. Arnold adds he only has the power to recommend any terminations. The mayor and the civil service board would have to approve any such moves.

July 22nd - Can there be anything finer than to be in England, in Staffordshire, on a sunny, warm Sunday Evening? I shot over the Chase again, this time over the ancient hill fort of Castle Ring, then dropped into Stonepit Green, and descended to Colton via Stile Cop. Heading out via Blithfield Reservoir, I called in at Hoar Cross, Scotch Hills and Dunstall, returning via Walton on Trent, Croxall and Lichfield. A great ride, and a great way to spend a Sunday evening. A lovely day.

She doesn't smoke a fat smelly cigar, wear a $5,000 suit or surround herself with "the boys" packing lethal protection, but she will make your business an offer you can't - or really wouldn't want to - refuse.
To Tate & Tilly, a local Tampa business invaded by her associates, Kim Kenney is the ultimate Mob Boss.
The Secret Tampa Cash Mob, a grassroots movement to infuse the local economy and help small business, is the brainchild of Kenney, a Carrollwood entrepreneur.
Less than three months old, the Cash Mob has grown from three to 600 members. And like the mob of old, you have to know someone on the inside to get invited to join a secret Facebook group.
Patch sat down to with Kenney to find out what exactly a Cash Mob is and how she came up with the idea.
Patch: How did you come up with the concept of starting a movement?
Kenney: I actually saw a story about a group in Ohio. They had a very small five-and-dime, and everyone was going to the large hardware store. One day, someone came up with the idea that they would all go to the five-and-dime and spend a few dollars and support the business that had been inside of their community for years. I thought, what a great idea to support local business by purchasing something. A cup of coffee and an iPad later, I came up with Secret Tampa Cash Mob.
Patch: What exactly is Secret Tampa Cash Mob?
Kenney: Secret Tampa Cash Mob is a grassroots group started on Facebook. It's a group of individuals that want to help support local business once a month by spending $10 or more inside of a store that they (the group) choose. We do this every month for the most part. It's the end of the month, always on a Saturday. You have to ask to be invited or know someone inside of the Mob. It is secret, so you can't just find it on Facebook.
Patch: Why $10?
Kenney: Ten dollars is good price point for most people.
Patch: Is this a woman-only group?
Kenney: No, it's a mixture. We have men, women and children participating.
Patch: Do the members identify themselves to the selected shop?
Kenney: Yes, when they purchase items, they tell them that they are part of the Secret Tampa Cash Mob.
Patch: How is a shop selected?
Kenney: On our Facebook page, members get vote on every month which place they want to go to. People get to nominate a business and then I do research. I make sure that there are things that are ten dollars, that that person or their staff is not a member inside the Cash Mob. A business cannot be inside of the Cash Mob if they want to be considered.
Patch: What are the criteria?
Kenney: The business must have a Tampa address, be a store or restaurant that can communicate with the masses, and have something that most everyone would be interested in.
Patch: What has been the reaction of the business owners?
Kenney: The first one was Tate & Tilly. She was very shocked. She actually increased her Saturday sales by 160 percent. We look for businesses that might be off the beaten path or that people might pass all the time and not even know that it exists.
Members post pictures of what they bought. That's really great because it actually shows what you can purchase inside of that store and it's not coming from an advertising background, but a personal standpoint.
Patch: How does the Cash Mob work? Do you meet a specific time?
Kenney: No, our Cash Mob is from open until the close of the business that Saturday. It works for members who have things to do on the weekend and it doesn't overwhelm the business owner or the staff. Our members just announce that they're part of the Cash Mob when they make their purchase.
Patch: Why is it a secret? Shouldn't the business have time to prepare?
Kenney: It's a secret to the shop owner for two reasons. One, the element of surprise, and two, not to have them buy more inventory or employ more staff. If it's a horrible weekend – a lot of things are going on or the weather is not cooperating – I don't want a business owner to take on more liabilities than what's going to be sold.
Patch: Is there a benefit to being a Cash Mob member?
Kenney: People get to meet people, go outside of their community and go to different areas of Tampa that they may never go to. We pull north Tampa people into Carrollwood and New Tampa people to Westchase, etc. We're trying to show that we are all a community. Yes, we can shop and support where we live, but as a group, we can also go to different places and explore and see what is outside our specific community.
Patch: Are there any other benefits beside monetary to being mobbed?
Kenney: To build brand awareness, the business is not paying for marketing. They are getting mobbed by people interested in what they sell. If they give good customer service and have great products, they are always going to have clients for life.
Napa Flair was mobbed the day after the Patch interview on Saturday. A post on the Napa Flair Facebook page read, "Our single best day EVER! So many thanks Secret Tampa Cash Mob, and of course, our lovely Mob Boss!"
To join Secret Tampa Cash Mob, visit www.secrettampacashmob.com, or find Kenney on Facebook and message her with a request to join.

The Yate
Loon 140mm performance case fan has a true 48.5 dB(a) decibel rating - measured
in an anechoic chamber using ISO standards. This is one instance where
the case fan's decibel ratings haven't been understated by the
manufacturer. So this case fan is not purchased for quiet PC's.This 140mm case fan is extremely high performance case fan. It measures a whopping 140 CFM airflow level and is available at a
reasonable price. This high flow fan also includes the added advantage of
both a 3-pin motherboard power connector and a 4-pin standard power
connector making this a very versatile case fan.

Inaccuracies in U.S. World and News Report College Rankings
Five colleges have misreported school data to the U.S. World and News Report for school rankings this past year, The Washington Post reported. According to the article, the information colleges and universities give to U.S. World and News is not always independently verified. Colleges include:
Tulane University
Bucknell University
Claremont McKenna College
Emory University
George Washington University
"A survey of 576 college admissions officers conducted by Gallup last summer for the online news outlet Inside Higher Ed found that 91 percent believe other colleges had falsely reported standardized test scores and other admissions data. A few said their own college had done so," the article stated.

This month's desktop, because it's Oh-chan's time to shine~ plus, he's my artist guru.
[Oh-chan answered a letter on his radio show from Mamiko-chan, who asked him for advice on how to draw.]
"It's fine not to draw that well, because it'll become a drawing of Mamiko-chan's style. If you're just thinking to draw well, you'll get nowhere.
And when I cannot draw it well, I can just go fishing. It can't be helped.
That's why, Mamiko-chan, too. You don't have to draw, it's fine.
Just go fishing."

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > Bellville High School: possibly the best year of my life
Frankie's a Babe1 Reviews
Helena "Hell" Van Halen just moved to New Jersey. She has to go to Belleville High School, when she meets new people and has a new love interest. Hmmm...guess who it is? Comments/feedback is muc...
"Van Halen."
She looked at me, thinking I was talking about the band. She then shook her head and replied with an attitude,
"My, my, my playing jokes now are we?"
I gave her a death stare and replied with just as much attitude and disrespect,
"It's my last name dumb ass. Helena Van Halen?"
She gave me a dirty look and got me schedule. As I walked out the door, I caught a glimpse of myself I the mirror: short blue-black hair, big beautiful green eyes rimmed with loads of black eyeliner and red eye shadow on the lid, pale ivory skin and lips as red as a rose. Hey, what can I say? I'm a vain bitch.
I walked into my first hour class, ignoring the stares and whispers. Haven't these people ever seen a girl in a Misfits tee, perfectly ripped jeans (not that Hollister shit) with Anarchy and the symbol written all over it, and chucks?
The teacher greeted me with a warm smile and,
"You must me Helena Van Halen!"
I frowned as he used my full name. Then I said,
"It's Hell."
"Of course! ," he said with a smile.
What the fuck crack was this guy on?
He directed me to a seat next to a "gothic" looking girl. She wasn't exactly goth, she just looked like she went and bought everything in Hot Topic and put it on her. (A/N: I'm not bashing on Hot Topic! I like that place.) What I'm trying to say is that she looked so weak and poser-ish compared to the girls back home. But I decided not to judge my looks. When I sat down, she immediately said,
"Hey! My name's Candy."
I made a weird lip thing with my lip. I looked her up and down and finally replied,
"So, what's your favorite band?"
"Mainstream of Underground? Signed of unsigned?"
She looked unsure of what I had just uttered, so she just said,
"All of them."
"Well, I like Wednesday 13, The Cemetary Creeps, Inked in Blood, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Marilyn Manson, The Clash, Anti- Flag, Syx, Otep and Kittie."
She slowly nodded, trying to look like she had understood everything I just said, before replying,
"Cool. I like Fall Out Boy, From First to Last, Green Day and yeah."
I nodded and said,
"I like them too, but only their old stuff."
That's pretty much how our conversation went for the whole hour. I also found out that she had all my classes. 2nd and 3rd hour pretty much went the same. But in 4th hour, she went all giddy. She kept laughing and the then finally told me why.
"See that guy over there?"
She pointed across the room to a gorgeous guy with a faux hawk, X's over his eyes and beautiful hazel eyes. I nodded my head.
"Well, he's Frank Iero...and I think he's HOT!"
I frowned at her. She was like a little girl; she giggled at the stupidest things. Sighing, I looked from her, then Frank, only to find him look at me too.

Real Life Holidays: Which Side Dishes Do You Like the Best at Thanksgiving Dinner?
This year I'm hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for my office. Since I'm the only vegetarian of 15 employees, everyone was concerned that I might not actually want to host. Little did they know that Thanksgiving is actually my favorite holiday! Even though I might pass on the turkey, I love all the sides. From green beans and mashed potatoes to apple pie and pumpkin rolls, I couldn't be more satisfied. But of all of the Thanksgiving foods, my favorite dish is...
In particular, I love mushroom or cornbread based stuffings. Here are a few great recipes from The Kitchn:
What's your favorite side dish?
(Image credits: Maxwell Ryan)
43 Comments
Stuffing and scalloped oysters
Pumpkin pie is my favorite. I like sweet potatoes, too ... kind of along the same lines.
Is someone else providing a turkey?
CRANBERRY SAUCE! Doesn't matter if it is homemade or pried out of a can, it is my absolute favorite "Thanksgiving" dish!
Sweet potato pie and something we called spinach casserole. You basically make something between homemade creamed spinach and spanikopita filling and add fried onions on top before baking. The spinach casserole never made it to next day leftovers because my brother and I would always it the rest of it Thursday night!
Oh my...how to choose? Mashed potatoes and gravy. No, sage dressing. Right. Hmmm, any kind of cranberry relish. But what about the green beans? Argh. They are all my favorite!
*eat the rest of it.
If I only had stuffing, I would be in heaven!
I make an apple/rutabaga side dish that has a crumble topping. Have to use rutabaga too, not turnips!
Stuffing or roasted brusselsprouts
Living in Hawaii, our Thanksgiving menus are a little more broad. We have the turkey and (drat) boxed stuffing, cranberry sauce, string beans. But we also have sushi, Chinese fried noodles, nishime (Japanese stew), sashimi, crisp gau gee with hot mustard.
And you ask me to choose??
NeenieTam, please post your recipe here! If you have it... if you'll share. I LOVE spinach!!!
Please join us in the South and eat dressing this year. My family makes it for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and I look forward to it all year. Do yourself a favor...pass on the stuffing and make some dressing. Your life will be forever changed.
Garlic mashed potatoes is my jam! I love it so much, I offer to bring it at every gathering. Aside from mashed potatoes, I have to eat my turkey with gravy and cranberry sauce.
My mother's oyster stuffing. Yummm! I'm getting so hungry reading these!!!
cranberry-apple chutney
roasted butternut squash puree
creamed mushrooms, onions & brussels sprouts
sausage-cornbread stuffing
roasted carrots and parsnips
green beans with pecans, lemon & parsley
Wait. Were we supposed to just pick one?
Green bean casserole!
Mashed potatoes. And pie. All of the pie.
stuffing made with leftover bread...I save the heels of the bread in the freezer and toast them...this year it will be almost entirely whole grain and rye bread
homemade cranberry sauce made with fresh orange juice from my own tree and ancho chiles...just a touch is all you need.
multigrain rice salad with artichoke hearts and a fresh vinaigrette
Stuffing by far is my favorite. I made Ina Garten's mushroom and leek bread pudding for Thanksgiving last year and I think I will continue to make it every year for forever. It is so good!!!
Unbelievably, marshmallow yams. I just love those things. And pie!
Corn Casserole. Hands down.
And everything else. ;)
I made Country Living's baked kale gratin, and it was incredible! Last weekend was the first time I tried the recipe, and I'll definitely bring it to Thanksgiving in a few weeks.
my homemade cranberry relish - fresh cranberries, apricot preserves, OJ and LOTS of fresh grated ginger.
OMG, my mother's oyster dressing. Although, last year I stole an idea from on line of turning dressing/stuffing into muffins so I used my mom's recipe and made oyster stuffins with a side of gumbo gray (based off of my grandpa's gumbo recipe). OMG is was a hit and I can't wait to do it again this year.
The cooked green veg varies, but I always make Julia Child's handmade hollandaise sauce. Which I could eat a vat of, alone, with a spoon, if I weren't afraid of what it would do to my arteries.
Popovers. Many of them. With homemade apricot preserves and butter.
Sweet potatoes, om nom nom nom!
I'm a vegetarian who also loves Thanksgiving! I make a lentil loaf that is my "turkey"...but other family members seem to enjoy it as a side to their meaty meal as well.
Stuffing is cooked inside the turkey, dressing is baked in a casserole dish. They are often the same recipe.
Whatever the green stuff in the photo is, no one liked it. Their plates are clean except for a big pile of green.
Dressing(stuffing) and cranberry sauce!
PS, it was cooked in the turkey but here in Tennessee we always called it dressing.
Keep the turkey, just pass the stuffing!
cornbread dressing
sauteed okra
cranberry relish
sweet potato pie
How has everyone not said mashed potatoes?
The next morning I love,love,love having pumpkin pie with my coffee for breakfast.
My immediate family doesn't care much for the traditional Thanksgiving foods. We do have a turkey but go without dressing, cranberries, pumpkin pie, etc.
We love rice pudding (served as a vegetable, not a dessert). My mother-in-law's "Pink Salad" aka ambrosia. And her fabulous mac and cheese. I only make these once or two per year, so they are very special to us!
I make a casserole of chopped yams and cranberries baked in an orange juice and honey sauce. No matter where I have Thanksgiving dinner, I'm ordered to bring that as my contribution.
My niece makes the best corn pudding in the world.
Nigella Lawson's Supper Onion Pie has been my favorite side since I started making it for Thanksgiving a few years ago - it's slow-cooked, almost caramelized red onions with thyme and a cheesy-sconey-biscuity top. So good.
In my family we've always called it stuffing even though it's a seperate dish and not inside the turkey. Whatever the name it's always my favorite!
I would really love this recipe, it sounds delicious! firstname.lastname@example.com
God bless!
Martha Stewart's Mac n Cheese (as written about by Deb of Smitten Kitchen) except I use extra cheese. And my father's rosemary focaccia.
(Note: We are Polish. Don't ask me how those became the family favorites)
...I would LOVE to know your recipe for the Stuffins :)

Companies can see the benefits surrounding the use of IM, but the vast majority still ban its use within their organization, so says a new survey.
Research released by instant messaging firm ProcessOne shows that 72 percent of U.K. businesses have banned the use of public IM software, such as MSN, AIM, and Yahoo, because of security worries.
Yet the Vanson Bourne survey of 100 senior IT decision-makers from enterprises of 1,000 or more employees, also discovered that 74 percent of respondents think IM could provide valuable collaboration benefits to their organization.
IDC recently announced that IM was set to overtake e-mail as the preferred form of business communication by the second half of 2010.
Yet despite IM being viewed as an effective tool for non-intrusive, real-time communication regardless of location or surrounding, it seems that at the moment, security concerns are at the foremost of organizations minds.
Concern centers on allowing the use of public IM applications within an organization; 88 percent of IT directors said they were worried by this. In fact, more than half (56 percent) said that their organization was worried about losing sensitive business information through IM conversations. Despite this, only 12 percent of those surveyed said they keep an audit trail of IM messages sent by employees using free public IM software.
"Businesses have a fear of IM because they see that normal IM applications are not designed to be used in a corporate world," said Mickaël Rémond, CEO of ProcessOn. He feels that many organizations are torn between wanting to maximize security or gain collaboration and productivity benefits, and he thinks that maintaining security is winning at this point.
"With public IM systems like MSN, you are accepting that you don't control who you are talking to," said Rémond. "When you control an corporate IM package however, you can define what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for your organization."
"People also only want to receive messages from people they know," he added. "You cannot build that on public IM applications as that is in the wild."
When questioned further about their organization's reaction to the need to keep audit trails of IM conversations in order to comply with regulations, over one-third (38 percent) of IT directors said that their business had banned the use of public IM outright; 21 percent said that their company is using a private IM system, instead of public IM, so that audit trails can be kept.
But some businesses took more extreme steps, with 15 percent not allowing any type of instant messaging because they thought it was too difficult to keep reliable IM conversation audit trails. Eight percent admitted they didn't keep IM message audit trails at all because they think the process is too complicated. Ten percent did not know that audit trails needed to be kept.
The research also found that about half of IT directors thought that staff would be reluctant to use a corporate IM tool instead of using the public IM software that they were used to, leaving them with little choice but to ban IM completely if they were concerned about security.
For businesses that are considering an IM solution however, Rémond has the following advice.

An aide to top White House political adviser Karl Rove resigned in the fallout over a congressional report showing many White House contacts with ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
Last week's report by the U.S. House of Representatives Government Reform Committee said Rove aide Susan Ralston had passed inside White House information to Abramoff while she was also accepting his tickets to as many as nine sports and entertainment events.
Abramoff and several associates have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and fraud in an influence-peddling scandal and are cooperating with a federal corruption probe that has reached into the U.S. Congress.

"Frank Will You..."0 Reviews
Frank's POV for chapter 11. I'm such a bitch. I know.
I got out of the cab, feeling stiff and oddly alert. I took all my bags out of the cab and the driver rolled away. I pulled my bags to the door and tried opening it. It was locked. So I knocked.
tap tap tap
"Gee…" I said, leaning into the door. I waited for five minutes before I knocked again.
tap tap tap
"Gerard… Can you please unlock the door?" I said, still outside. It was cold, and dark. I didn't want to be waiting here all night. Another 5 minutes went by.
tap tap tap
"Damn it Gerard…" I mumbled.
knock knock knock
"Hel-fucking-lo? Anyone home?" I called, getting a little aggravated.
Then the door opened.
"Sorry, Frankie… I was upstairs getting a few things together." He said, took my bags and and walked inside with me.
"Did a circuit blow in here?" I asked, wondering why there were candles all over the place.
"Nope." He replied, placing two firm hands on my shoulders and guiding me through the halls..
"Then what's with the candles?" I inquired.
"I wanted to shake up the atmosphere a little. Don't you like it?" He asked.
"No, I think it's really neat." I said and smiled at him.
"Did you eat dinner?" He questioned.
"Nope." I shrugged.
"Good. 'Cause I made dinner, and dessert for you." He smiled.
"Oo. What'd you make?" I asked, anxious to hear.
"I made spaghetti and chocolate cake." He said and kissed my cheek.
"OH MY GOD! YOU DID?! I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE SO FUCKING MUCH!" I squealed and jumped up and down a little.
"I'm just going to make clothes out of chocolate cake from now on…" He snickered.
"No, because then you get frosting all over yourself, and I'd have to clean it up." I said.
"Anyway…" He giggled slightly. "Dinner is getting cold."
"Okay." I said and he led me to the dining room.
We ate dinner, than dessert and talked about our weeks. Mine was mainly missing him, but I left a lot of my thoughts out of my summary. I was having very dirty thoughts about Gerard. The entire week. For example, when I was my cousins office, I was wishing Gerard would just walk in the door, clear off the desk, then take me right. there. And then when we were shopping for a new mattress, I remember laying on a bed that would've been perfect for sex.
Gerard admitted he had a fight with Mikey over me. I kinda saw that coming. I mean, after I ruined everything by kissing him, I saw a disagreement or two rising. But Gerard said it was all good now, and Mikey was over at a friends house for a week.
Afterward, he picked me up and carried me up the steps, and dumped me on the bed.
"So… Frankie…" He started. "Do you have an idea what we could do in here?"
"Well" sex. "We" sex. "Could" sex. "Have" sex. "Coffee…" sex. I answered.
He slid his hand up my shirt. "Oh Frank… It's to late for coffee, and I'm not tired." He said.
"W-Well I can't think of anything…" I said and got chills from the cold hand creeping up my chest.
"Mmm… Good thing I've already got a few idea's brewing in my head." He mewled, and played with my zipper.
"L-Like what?" I asked, not sure how to react.
"I think you know what I'm getting at." He said with a wink.
He climbed over me and put his legs over either side of my waist. I leaned up and kissed him quickly on the lips, and then he grabbed my face and pressed our lips together. My lips parted slightly and granted him access. While we were kissing, I felt him flick the button of my jeans off, and undo my zipper.
He pulled out lips apart and moved down to my neck, gently nipping and sucking near the scorpion tattoo on the right side of my neck. I rolled my head back and gave him more room. Then he bit my neck, and I whimpered a little. I was kinda maybe getting off on the pain. I felt a hot liquid run down my neck.
"Oh… Um… Whoops… Frank… You're bleeding… Not bad… But uh… You still are…" Gerard said a little.
"I don't care, I like it." I breathed.
"Oh…" He smirked.
I lifted off his shirt, and then mine. He grinded against me, and I nibbled on his earlobe, pinching it between two of my canines. He inhaled sharply, and I groaned slightly at his growing crotch rubbing against mine. I licked the shell of his ear, and he moaned.
"Oh… D'you like that Gerard?" I cooed at him.
"I'm a sucker f-for ear nibblers…" He said.
"You made no show of hiding it." I grinned.
He continued grinding against me, and then he stopped.
"Frank… I want you to ride me…" He said.
Well, that's all fine and good. But I've never been on top. And I'm going to try not to mention that, or else you'll thing I'm lame or stupid… or maybe both…
"I… I um…" I started. Not a good idea. Don't finish.
"What's wrong, Frankie?" He asked.
"I-I've never been… On top…" I said. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Fucking stupid.
"Oh… Well… Do you… Like… Need help with something?" He questioned.
"I… I'm just… Not… Not sure what to do…" I admitted, embarrassed.
"Oh… Well… Have you ever um… like… touched yourself?" He asked, blushing a little himself.
"No." I answered.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes…" I answered again.
"Oh. Do you know how to prep a guy?" He asked.
"N-No…" I said, hoping I didn't say something I shouldn't have.
"Well… Do you remember what I did before we had sex the first time?" He asked.
"A little…" I said.
"Well… Okay… Then I'm going to prep myself… You can watch if you're not sure how to do it…" He said, and got a bottle out of the dresser. It said 'Cherry' on it. I figured it was lube.
He leaned over the bed, his ass just sticking out toward me. He put the lube on his index and middle fingers. And put one finger in.
I blushed like nobody's business. This was kinda embarrassing. By the time I stopped blushing, he was scissoring both his fingers inside himself, and moaning slightly while doing so.
"U-Uh… Frank… Come here…" He said, and I did as instructed. He handed me the bottle medium sized bottle. "Put it on yourself…" He said, me following orders.
"C-Can I?" I asked timidly, not knowing if there was something else I had to do. I really wasn't used to sex under these conditions.
"Mhm, Frank. I want you inside me." He said.
I was quite scared. I'd always been the taker, not the giver. I lined up to his entrance, him still bent over the side of the bed. I pushed slowly inside him.
"OH GOD!" I screamed at this new sensation engulfing my member.
"mmm… Frank… h-harder…" He moaned at me.
I did my best to not lose it right away. The warmth, the tightness, and the sensation were making it harder as the minutes rolled by. This was the best feeling I'd ever felt. My fingers dug into Gerard's side, and I thrust into what I think was his sweet spot.
"O-Oh… Fuck… Frank… R-Right… Right there… U-Uh… Faster…" He groaned.
I wrapped my hand around his fairly large length and stroked his leaking cock in rhythm to hitting his prostate.
"FUCK!… F-Fuck… Oh god Frank… A-Ah… J-Jesus… Fuck Frank…" He cried out.
"Un… Sh-Shit… O-…O-Oh… Gee I-… I'm so close…" I whimpered past my moaning.
And suddenly, Gerard and I came simultaneously and I fell to the floor convulsing panting, while Gerard fell to my side.
"F-F-Frankie… I… I… I had a q-question t-to ask y-you…" He stuttered after he could breath again.
"Wh-What was it?" I said and turned over and faced him.
He pulled a tiny box out of the night stand. "Frank… Would you marry me?"

Senate Currently Proposing $40 Billion to More Than $140 Billion in Subsidies for Nuclear Industry, New Analysis Finds
New Subsidies for Constructing Reactors Would Shift Financial Risks to Taxpayers
WASHINGTON (July 1, 2010) – Massive government subsidies proposed in two pending Senate climate and energy bills would shift the risk of financing and constructing new nuclear reactors from the industry to U.S. taxpayers, according to an analysis released today by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). Such subsidies would disadvantage more cost-effective, less risky approaches to curbing the heat-trapping emissions that cause global warming, including energy efficiency programs and renewable energy technologies, the group said.
The UCS analysis is the first to quantify the most significant subsidies for the nuclear industry proposed in the American Power Act (APA) and the American Clean Energy Leadership Act (ACELA). Those subsidies include expanded federal loan guarantees, reduced accelerated depreciation periods, a 10 percent investment tax credit, expanded production tax credits, and expanded federal regulatory risk insurance.
Assuming eight new reactors are built over the next 15 years, UCS found those subsidies would amount to approximately $40 billion, or $5 billion per reactor, slightly more than half of what a typical 1,100 megawatt reactor would cost to build today. If the industry is able to secure federal approval to build the 31 new reactors it is expected to request, UCS found that total proposed subsidies could be worth from $65 billion to as much as $147 billion.
"The federal government certainly has an important role to play to ensure innovative, low-carbon technologies can be deployed on a significant scale and become commercially viable," said Ellen Vancko, UCS's nuclear energy and climate change project manager. "But it makes no sense to throw massive subsidies at one technology, especially a mature one like nuclear power, which has a long history of cost overruns, cancellations and bailouts, and already stands to receive billions in government subsidies for new plants."
Vancko emphasized the word "mature." "The new reactors on the drawing board are based on designs that are not significantly different than those already in commercial operation," she said. "They are neither new nor innovative." Besides, she added, those reactors already are on the short list for $18.5 billion in loan guarantees under the existing Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee program and are expected to get more. The Obama administration has called for adding another $36 billion to that program.
A proposal in the ACELA bill would establish a new clean energy bank, called the Clean Energy Deployment Administration (CEDA). CEDA would offer a range of financing options, including direct loans, letters of credit, loan guarantees and insurance for energy production, transmission and storage projects, emphasizing "breakthrough" technologies that would reduce global warming emissions and energy consumption. Renewable energy, advanced nuclear, and coal carbon capture and storage projects all would qualify for assistance. UCS has urged the Senate to include protections in the CEDA proposal that would limit taxpayer exposure to unnecessary and potentially unlimited risk. (For more details, see the UCS fact sheet, "The Senate Must Fix the Clean Energy Deployment Administration.")
Even without the proposed clean energy bank or the new proposed subsidies, the nuclear industry already benefits from generous subsidies provided by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, including the existing DOE loan guarantee program, production tax credits, and federal regulatory risk insurance, the analysis found. It offered a case study of the proposed new reactor at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland as a prime example. The estimated benefits available to the owners of Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant range from $631 million to more than $1 billion annually. These subsidies could equal or even exceed private investment in the plant.
"Taxpayers and ratepayers have had to bail out the nuclear industry twice – once in the 1970s and 1980s, and again in the 1990s – and shouldn't be asked to do it again," Vancko said. "Available subsidies are more than adequate to allow the industry to demonstrate whether it can build a limited number of 'first mover' units on time, on budget, and operate them safely. Unfortunately, these new proposals vastly exceed what is needed to accomplish that task and defy common sense. Given the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars we just spent to rescue the banks, the last thing we need is another industry bailout."
