My new favorite brownies
While we have a family brownie recipe, the very person I got the recipe from can no longer eat them because she has a gluten and dairy-free diet! So, when I found a no-flour, no-dairy recipe, I decided I had to try it.
Can you guess the secret ingredient? I bet no one will if you make it. No one in my house did....
Yep. Black beans. And you wouldn't know the difference. Seriously. You have to try these, especially if someone in your life is gluten free!
In addition to these being a GF, these brownies are much healthier than the typical brownie too -- not to mention, you're getting a great deal of excellent protein in these tasty desserts!
Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies* - From Katie at Intentionally Katie
1 can (15.5 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 eggs
1 T olive oil
2 T applesauce (or 2 additional T olive oil)
1/4 C cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 C white sugar
1/2 C dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch glass pan (I might also try using a 7x11 pan).
Pull out your blender, and in it, combine the beans, eggs and olive oil. Then, puree the mixture.
Then, add in the cocoa, sugar, baking powder, pinch of salt and vanilla and puree until smooth.
I stirred a few times to make sure the beans were well-pureed!
Pour the brownies into the pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the brownies. Alternatively, you can mix them in the batter.
Pop the brownies into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. As the brownies bake, they will pull away from the edge of the pan... that's a clue they're getting close to done. Check with a toothpick to make sure the batter is done. The brownies will be moist, but not gooey.
Cool, then slice. Enjoy! If they stick around, you can keep them on the counter for up to 2 days... then pop them in the fridge to keep for another day or so. These brownies are almost melt-in-your mouth due to the fine texture, and they are quite moist, so they will not keep as long as "regular" brownies.
*If you're cooking for a gluten free friend, be sure to check your ingredients, including your beans, cocoa powder and vanilla to make sure they're gluten-free. You can find Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips that are gluten and dairy free!

My sister in law is on a gluten free diet and I've seen black bean brownies before. We have never got around to making them though. I'm glad to know that you did and that they were good. I'll be making them next time she comes to visit.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting them! I'm gluten free and sugar free and cant wait to make these. I haven't eaten brownies in almost 2 years. Thank you!!!ReplyDelete
while gluten free/dairy free (do the choc chips not have dairy??) is totally unappealing to me, this recipe is b/c it would be healthy. Will have to give it a try. Would make a great snack to pack in their lunches come fall.ReplyDelete
Hmm- you have me intrigued. I'll see if I can get Chris to guess what is in them.ReplyDelete

This actually looks really good! I too will see if I can get dh to guess what's in them. Like with my other experiments similar to this, I'll tell him what the special ingredient is and he'll say, "I thought something tasted...weird." lolReplyDelete
This is an amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful day.ReplyDelete
Those look really different! Thanks for stopping by my blog!ReplyDelete
Woo hoo! I am gluten-free (sugar-free, too) and I am going to try these. I've heard of using beans before but have never done it...I am sure they are delicious. This post is getting bookmarked in my "must make" folder. :) Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
My question is the same as Becca's: did you use DF chocolate chips? Did you find a brand you liked?ReplyDelete
I use Enjoy Life Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips! In fact, they are also soy, gluten and nut free as well (which works well for me because I have a nut allergy).ReplyDelete
When I read the ingredients of my store brand semi-sweet chocolate chips, there was no dairy of any kind. I was pleased to see I didn't have to go chase a healthfood store down. Good stuff. I have used other beans as well, pinto, white, pink, red, as well as black. They all puree up just fine and don't taste any different. The cocoa makes the color pretty much the same too, no matter the color of beans.ReplyDelete
These are in the oven right now. My question when you said you would try 1/2 cup brown sugar next time, did you mean in place of the white sugar or in addition to it?ReplyDelete
Interesting! I am not gluten free, but I go to church with a bunch of them....I will have to try them as I refuse to get any of the weird flour stuff as it costs too muchReplyDelete
I made these yesterday! LOVE them!!! I have gluten and milk allergies, so these are perfect for me!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!
These sound so interesting!! I don't need gluten-free, but I have friends that do. And I wouldn't mind tasting them to see what I think! Thanks for sharing it!ReplyDelete
Hi SnoWhite - I just noticed that I've commented on these before & I actually ended up making black bean brownies but I started with a totally different recipe. This is a great dish and I just adore how you take such good care of your gf loved ones.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this at Slightly Indulgent Mondays!

I just made these in cupcake form, and YUM yum YUM! They are fantastic, and no one would ever guess the secret ingredient. Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)ReplyDelete
I just made a batch of Midnight Brownies for my son's birthday last night. Would like to share that recipe with you. Check it out at http://www.wineablegifts.com/Wineable-Gifts-Blog-Wine-Recipes.php?post=14 Let me know how you liked it. They are our new favorite brownies and no one can guess the secret ingredient. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
What a crazy secret ingredient! Very fun!ReplyDelete
I have a similar recipe for black bean brownies! I frost mine with avocado spread!ReplyDelete
Do these have to be done with black beans? would they work with something else like kidney beans. I was looking for black beans for a different recipe recently and couldn't see them in my local store. Also can they be frozen??ReplyDelete
I've never tried them with another bean ... black is natural because of the color, but I would say you could try them with a great white northern or kidney bean.
Yes, you can freeze them after baking -- that would be a delicious treat to have in the freezer. I know it defeats the purpose, but, they are delicious with ice cream :)
I just made these for a class where one of my fellow students is gluten free and they were delicious! Even my boyfriend said they were great and he's not a big dessert eater. However- mine ended up being half as tall as yours did, do you know what I may have done wrong? Thanks for the wonderful recipes!ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking up your recipe to THIS WEEKS CRAVINGS! My daughter is now GLUTEN-FREE, so this recipe has just moved to the top of my list and I will be making it SOONER then later! (thanks) This is gonna be a fun week, seeing what "secret ingredient" people hide in their recipes!ReplyDelete
Just a "sneak peak" for next week, the theme is "HUBBY COOKS". So, we hope to see you again next Monday (and maybe if you don't already have a husband that cooks, you can talk him into making you dinner this week... that's what I have to do!)
I made black bean brownies a couple of weeks ago and we were all shocked at how delicious they were!!ReplyDelete
I cannot wait to try these! I recently made Black Bean Cupcakes that turned out well and I've been looking for a good GF brownie recipe.ReplyDelete
I do have a gluten-free loved one and am so excited for this recipe!ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking it to This Week's Cravings!
I made these brownies today and they are SO SO SO good!! You're right, no one will guess the secret ingredient. Thanks for sharing at This Week's Cravings.ReplyDelete
Wow, who would have thought? Can't wait to try them!ReplyDelete
I will definetly have to try these...so crazy that black beans would be good in brownies!ReplyDelete
I have these in the oven right now. I modified it just a bit by using maple syrup instead since we don't eat refined sugar and I also added some instant espresso powder. We'll see how they turn out!ReplyDelete
Hmm-This is an amazing recipe,so these are perfect for me thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
i made these but they really didn't turn out well. they were super moist and fell apart. i think they were cooked all the way as they weren't runny but just so moist that i couldn't really get them out of the pan without them almost melting away ??? The only thing i can think of is that i made them one night and left them in the pan to cool then did not cut them until the next night. Maybe i should have taken them out of the pan sooner ? I figured they would need to set up in the pan overnight but it seems like the exact opposite happened. Did this happen to anyone else ? Help !ReplyDelete

I saved this recipe in my favorites when I came across it. I'm going to try these for my children because they're healthy. I wonder if my daughter's picky palate will notice anything different about them lol thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear from you; especially how you're finding JOY in your kitchen.

An exciting new research effort has been launched by some of the most prominent researchers of the illicit antiquities trade.
Simon Mackenzie, Neil Brodie, Suzie Thomas and Donna Yates* at the University of Glasgow have received £1 million over four years from the European Research Council to pursue new research of the illicit trade in ancient art.
The program, called "Global Traffic in Cultural Objects," will be based at Glasgow's Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research. Here's how the team describes their goal:
"National and international laws intended to regulate or suppress the trade have been only partially successful, and the illicit trade has been linked to further criminal problems such as corruption and physical violence…By developing new empirical approaches and drawing upon criminological theory, this project will work towards a regulatory regime that goes beyond straightforward law enforcement, allowing the legitimate exchange of cultural objects while suppressing the illicit market."
The project's four main endeavors are:
1. Mapping and measurement. Through a series of case studies, the project will examine publicly available sales data to establish whether they can be used to estimate flows of illicit material through the market, and therefore to assess the effectiveness of any implemented regulation.
2. Qualitative data-gathering and analysis. Through ethnographic interviews of market agents such as dealers, collectors, museum curators and university academics, the project will gather information about the trade in licit and illicit cultural objects, and opinions about suitable regulation and opportunities for novel regulatory interventions. It will also, by means of a major case study, trace the path taken by a defined category of illicit material from ground to market, thereby offering greater depth to the analysis.
3. Regulation theory and practice. There will be a comprehensive review of the academic and policy literature as regards comparable transnational criminal markets and their regulation. Regulatory successes and failures will be identified, and considered in relation to the traffic in cultural objects, utilizing information obtained through themes 1 and 2. The project will also consider whether the traffic in cultural objects is 'knotted' together with other criminal activities in such a way as to render it insoluble as an isolated problem.
4. Knowledge mobilization. The project will establish a website that will make available project outputs and data, and that will also contain an 'encyclopedia' of material relevant to the project and to the traffic in cultural objects more generally.
We recently interviewed Simon Mackenzie, a criminologist who has been studying the antiquities trade since 2002, about his perspective on the illicit antiquities trade. (We've edited a bit for clarity and length.)
Chasing Aphrodite: What is known and not known about the illicit antiquities trade? How does our knowledge of it compare with our knowledge of other types of crime?
People are always talking about the illicit antiquities trade as something that is under-researched, with a small number of people working in the field. But when you think about it, it's not too bad. Clemency Coggins really started the field in the 1960s. The last 40 years, from UNESCO onwards, has been a period of relatively high activity compared to other criminal problems – quite a lot has happened. There's been increasing regulation of museums and ethical codes adopted. Once you start looking into the literature — for example, ethnographic studies of markets by Morag Kersel , the work of Christopher Chippindale and David Gill, Ricardo Elia, Patty Gerstenblith. It has been a small field, but there are a good spread of methodological approaches, with respectable and reliable researchers.
CA: Estimates of the size of illicit trade range from tens of millions to as much as $2 billion annually. Why?
CA: Is organized crime involved in antiquities trade?
SM: There is clearly organized crime in the antiquities market, as we conventionally conceive of organized crime. The more interesting question is whether antiquities trafficking is in itself an organized crime. It's not what we would think of as organized crime on its face because the actors are often quite respectable figures. It seems counter-intuitive to say that museums and auction houses are organized crime. But look at the definition of organized crime: three or more people operating over a sustained period of time in a serious criminal way. Antiquities trafficking meets that definition. So you can make a technical argument quite easily.
The more interesting question to ask is: why do we care whether it's organized crime? The policy response to organized crime, the regulatory response, is much greater, more of an international threat. So the distinction can be quite important on a policy basis.
The reason why organized criminals are involved in the antiquities trade is because it's under-regulated. But you can take the organized criminal out of the antiquities trade and you'll still have looting. It's a story of supply and demand on an international basis. The trade attracts organized criminals, but they don't define the shape of it because it is created and sustained by more conventional trade actors.
CA: The trade in illicit antiquities is often seen, especially in the United States, as a victimless crime. The public sometimes has trouble grasping the harm. Your thoughts?
SM: It's difficult. The general public is not particularly interested in the context of any particular object dug up in a far flung corner of the world. And yet, museums and cultural debates are a strong current full of voices who feel very strongly about people's culture and human rights. So in one sense, it's certainly true that sometimes people don't get that broken old pots are important to mankind. But when you elevate that to a greater concern with history and culture and knowledge and civilization, what that means and how we might find our way forward, people do care quite deeply about that. These are fundamentals.
CA: What do you think of the current regulatory regimes for the antiquities trade? Your thoughts on de-criminalization?
SM: Most criminologists agree that supply-side interventions are going to be problematic, particularly on their own. The drug trade and prohibition are pretty good examples of trying to control something where there's a high level of demand in a globalized economy. None of these have particularly good records of success. Most of the current ideas seems to be about reducing demand or, alternatively, taking an end-to-end type solution — take both ends seriously and start to unwind the economic cultural and social forces underpinning the market. Once you see that, strict legal responses begin to look problematic. It's very difficult for the law to seriously engage with an entrenched, large-scale global trade. The nature of regulatory intervention in the cultural heritage market has largely been legal. Mostly its been about UNESCO, passing laws in source countries, prohibition of theft, and passing laws in market countries to prevent purchase. The interesting question for regulation is how do we build up systems around these laws we have.
Some scholars, such as Paul Bator, have argued that increasing regulation produces the black-markets — that regulators are culpable for the illicit trade. I've never really bought into that. It's a dead end: if you believe that, what do you do, stand back? You can talk about decriminalizing cannabis use, where the moral limitations are so widely disputed so there's a general debate about whether it should be a crime. But not many people would seriously argue that knowingly steeling cultural property is ok. It's reasonably clear that all sides say it's wrong. Therefore the idea that we should decriminalize it doesn't seem to do much except legitimate illicit stuff. It wouldn't stop the illicit trade. It might make it worse.
*UPDATE: We've added Donna Yates, who recently joined the Glasgow team fresh from her PhD work at Cambridge.

Rio de Janeiro's endless beaches and lush tropical forest will be a photographer's dream during the 2016 Olympics. But zoom in on the likes of once-pristine Guanabara Bay, and the picture is of household trash and raw sewage.
In the neon green waters around the site of the future Olympic Park, the average fecal pollution rate is 78 times that of the Brazilian government's "satisfactory" limit — and 195 times the level considered safe in the U.S. Nearly 70 percent of Rio's sewage goes untreated, meaning runoff from its many slums and poor neighborhoods drain into waters soon to host some of the world's best athletes.
Unless Brazil makes headway in cleaning up its waters, experts warn the Summer Games could pose health risks to athletes and mar what officials hope will be a global showcase event. Instead of the soaring vistas of Sugarloaf Mountain, the world could instead see old couches in the bay and tons of dead fish floating atop a city lake.
Rio's Olympic committee has pledged in writing that the pollution problems will be fixed, and many had hoped the Olympics would force authorities to tackle decades of neglect and poor planning that have blighted waterways.
Leonardo Gryner, chief operating officer of Rio's organizing committee, has acknowledged the extent of the water quality problem. But he said projects were "well advanced" to make good on the city's commitment to reduce 80 percent of the pollution flowing into the bay, where sailing and wind surfing events are to be held.
With just 2 ½ years to go before the games, however, experts say cleanup efforts are moving at a snail's pace and haven't significantly improved capacity in sewage treatment plants or hooked up more of the city's 6 million residents.
"The high concentrations of untreated human waste means there are pathogens and disease-causing organisms in the water," said Dr. Casey Brown, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. "If I were going to take part, I would make sure all my shots were up to date."
Tests show the problems are still severe in several of the competition venues.
At the site of the Olympic Park, in the Barra neighborhood, untreated human waste flows from nearby condominiums and sprawling shantytowns, presenting an immediate health hazard, according to Rio de Janeiro Environment Ministry documents examined by The Associated Press. Pollution fills many of the waterways in Barra, where about half the Olympic events will be held.
In the waters just off Copacabana beach, the measurement of fecal coliform bacteria spiked to 16 times the Brazilian government's satisfactory level as recently as three weeks ago, bad news for the marathon swimmers and triathletes set to compete there.
The Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas often experiences huge fish die-offs that leave its surface blanketed with tons of dead fish. Rowing and canoeing events are set to take place on the briny lake.
Another entrenched problem is the 148-square-mile (383-square-kilometer) Guanabara Bay, where the only exit for foul, polluted waters is through a narrow opening onto the Atlantic Ocean. Home to a thriving artisanal fishing industry and popular palm-lined beaches as recently as the late-1970s, the bay has become a watery dump for waste from shipyards and two commercial ports as well as leachate, the toxic byproduct of mountains of rotting trash sitting at what was South America's largest landfill until its closure last year.
At low tide, household trash, including old washing machines and soggy couches, float atop vast islands of accumulated sewage and sediment. Experts say it's even possible that vessels plowing through the water at speeds of more than 20 mph during Olympic events could collide with floating detritus below the surface.
Ecology professor Ricardo Freitas knows all too well the risks. As part of his work with a conservation group trying to save Rio's besieged urban caimans, Freitas regularly wades in and wrestles the reptiles onto shore or into boats to tag them.
"There's no way to work in these waters, where you are literally neck deep in feces in some places, and not be afraid of the health effects," Freitas said, adding that on the one occasion when he was bitten by a caiman, the small wound got severely infected because of the contaminated water. "Show me the Olympic athlete who's going to have the courage to get into waters like these."
It's not clear what consequences there might be if Rio doesn't clean up its waterways, but this isn't the first time the Olympics have faced steep environmental challenges. The Swiss-based International Olympic Committee took much flak during the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, when the city failed to clean up its smoggy air in the event's initial days. This year, similar concerns have been raised about the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, with crews dumping concrete construction waste and other trash in rivers, protected forests and other sensitive zones.
Pollution problems at those sites may be a key reason why the committee in September chose Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics. Japan had billed itself as a "safe pair of hands."
The Japanese government helped fund an effort to clean up Rio's Guanabara Bay starting in 1992, but two decades later there's little to show for the more than $700 million spent. At least five sewage treatment plants were built with the money, but most run under capacity because they haven't been fully linked to the collection pipes. One plant, in the gritty suburb of Sao Goncalo, across the bay from Rio, has yet to treat a drop of sewage.
Some critics say corruption was largely responsible for the failure of the Japanese-funded effort, which grew out of the United Nation's Eco-92 conference in Rio. But Gerson Serva, coordinator for the state's latest bay cleanup program, said the real culprit was lack of planning.
"The scale of what needs to be done was so great that they started to try to tackle all the fronts, which meant that many things were left half done," Serva said. "Rio has historically had a culture of poor planning in the realm of basic sanitation."
While water quality varies depending on the exact location, the state's INEA environmental agency has classified nearly all the 13 bayside beaches it monitors as "terrible" for 12 years running due to high levels of fecal bacteria. Exposure to such bacteria can cause gastro-intestinal illnesses like cramps, diarrhea, dysentery and cholera. Pollution data readings since 2000 provided by INAE show consistently high readings in Guanabara and the waters of Barra.
With other measures coming up short, authorities are pinning their cleanup efforts on the construction of "river treatment units," or RTUs, which are facilities built over rivers that filter most of the trash and human waste before the waters pour into the bay. Costly to operate because they rely on a fleet of trucks to shuttle the collected waste to landfills, RTUs are seen by environmentalists as a stopgap measure that fails to prevent sewage and trash from being dumped, only cleaning them up afterward.
Rio officials are also counting on a fleet of 10 garbage boats that will ply the waters of the bay, filtering out garbage and potentially dangerous larger debris.
The most visible cleanup measures are "eco-barriers," chains of plastic buoys strung across rivers that block some of trash.
Mario Moscatelli, a biologist who oversees the reforestation of mangrove forests along the bay, said he fears that even if the bay is cleaned up, the state will let it deteriorate after the athletes go home.
"If it's hard to get authorities to care about the Guanabara Bay now, with the Olympics looming," he said, "imagine what it will be like once they're over."

Dear Level 60 DK tank hopefuls:
Please open your talent book. Look at the rightmost talent on the first tier of each spec. (Blade Barrier, Toughness, and Anticipation). Do you have five point in each of these? Good, then you may continue to try to tank.
You don't, because you've put all 51 points into Frost because you've heard that's the tanking tree? Sorry, wrong answer! These talents are absolutely vital to surviving at low levels. Your healer will love you if you have them. If you don't, then I hope you know how to get back from the GY.
Healers working through these levels, now you know what to look for too. Rightmost talent at the first level of each tree. 5 points. Feel free to tell them they're doing it wrong if it's not there.


text: Back Air Filters, Dehumidifiers, and Humidifiers Here are some tips for understanding the air in your house and the air-quality appliances that can alter it. Air filters Purpose: Air-filtration systems pull most mold, pollen, dust mites, and other particulates out of household air. The best systems use HEPA (high-efficiency particulate absorption) filters that have multiple pleats that trap tiny particles. Such a filter can be installed in the duct adjacent to the furnace fan. They also are available as portable room units. Another kind of unit, the electronic cleaner, is especially good at sweeping mold and pollen particles from the air by catching them on an electrically charged plate. The type of air cleaner known as an ionizer produces electrically charged ions that bond to particles in the air and causes them to cling to walls, ceilings, and drapes. Filter systems improve air quality by removing pollutants. HEPA systems can be up to 99.9 percent efficient in removing floating particles from the air. Compare this with regular furnace filters, which are only 10 percent efficient in removing lint from the air. For a filtration system to be fully effective, it needs to run 24 hours a day. Health benefits: A good air-filtration system can make a difference for people with severe allergies or asthma, but it's not a necessity for the average person. Keep in mind that studies have not proved that any filters dramatically reduce allergy or asthma symptoms. The best possible benefit may come from HEPA filters. So before you invest a lot of money, make sure you take other steps first. In general, families with allergy problems should first look for and eliminate or contain the source of the problem: pets, rugs, dust mites, and moldy areas in the home are the first suspects. Disadvantages: Air-filtration systems need to be meticulously maintained. Changing the filters according to the manufacturers' instructions is critical to the success of the system. Also, these systems are no substitute for good indoor hygiene. If you have a cat, dog, or old rugs, your house is dusty, or you leave your windows open, the filtration system cannot do its work well. Some systems with smaller motors are noisy, especially for the bedroom. They don't turn the air over as quickly and as efficiently as larger units. In the case of ionizers, the particulates that were sent clinging to your walls, ceilings, and drapes fall off in a few days, back into your breathing environment. Dehumidifiers Purpose: Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air. This curbs the growth of mold and dust mites. They are particularly useful in parts of the house where humidity collects, such as damp basements. Dehumidifiers draw air over cold coils, condensing out its moisture, before passing the air over warm coils and back into the room. (Air conditioners also take a certain amount of moisture out of the air, but dehumidifiers do so much more efficiently.) The condensed water drips into a container in the unit that has to be emptied. The water can be routed directly to a drain by means of a hose. Home dehumidifiers remove between 10 and 50 pints of water from the air each day, depending on the relative humidity. The capacity of a unit is measured by the number of pints it can remove in a 24-hour period at 60 percent relative humidity and at 80 degrees. Harmful dust mites, those microscopic organisms that particularly aggravate allergy and asthma sufferers, thrive in high humidity. They live in your bedclothes, your drapes, your rugs, and the air in your home. Removing excessive moisture from indoor air helps control these pests. Dehumidifiers also can help limit mold and bacterial growth. Health benefits: Dehumidifiers are critical for households in humid climates with very old people or very young children, or for families with a history of allergies or asthma. In their first two years of life, children spend a lot of time on the floor or rug. If you have a 10-year-old rug, it likely has a host of dust mites that thrive in the high humidity. And the more you are exposed to something to which you have a genetic tendency to be allergic, the more likely you are to become allergic to it, whether it's mold, bacteria, or dust mites. Disadvantages: Mold can grow in the drainage areas of a dehumidifier, so regularly clean the water basin with bleach. Also, smaller units may not dry out the air satisfactorily all the time. You should consider choosing a larger capacity unit, one rated at 50 pints a day or more. It can always be turned down. Humidifiers Purpose: Humidifiers are of great use during winter in cold climates where home heating systems are in constant use. This dry air can dry out and irritate your eyes, throat, and lungs. Dry skin is another hazard. Besides that, you may find the wood in your house drying out, creating gaps between floorboards, loose furniture joints, and windows that rattle in their frames. Humidifiers come in two types: The evaporator type forces air over water inside the unit and blows the evaporated water into the house. The atomizer type of humidifier breaks up water droplets and produce a mist that then evaporates as it is distributed throughout the house. To break up water into a mist, some of these humidifiers use a rotating device, like a blade or brush. In the case of an ultrasonic humidifier, a disc that oscillates about 1.6 million times per second does the job. The water is mechanically agitated into fine droplets. Humidifiers can be built in to your central heating system and use the furnace ducts to distribute moist air throughout your home. If you have a closed heating system, such as electric baseboards, a central humidifier can be installed with its own fan and duct for distribution of humidified air. Portable humidifiers vary in size and efficiency. Tabletop units can usually handle only single rooms. Larger console models can be set up in central locations to distribute moisture to a large area of the house. Health benefits: Humidifiers are recommended for people who live in areas where houses must be heated for a good portion of the year, or for those who live in very dry climates. Humidifiers will help those suffering from sore throats, headaches, nose bleeds, and coughs related to dry air. In general, a moist house is more comfortable than a dry one. Disadvantages: Humidifiers are not easy to use. All units, portable as well as those installed in central heating systems, must be cleaned rigorously. Otherwise, they tend to become contaminated with mold and bacterial growth that may be blown through the house. You should clean portable units every two weeks and central units once a month. Remove any residue, then let a solution of chlorine bleach sit in the basin for 30 minutes to kill any fungus or bacterial growth. Ultrasound humidifiers tend to leave a fine white dust about your rooms, as the tiny droplets they dispense evaporate and leave behind calcium carbonate and other minerals present in the water. This may be prevented by using distilled (not de-ionized) water in the humidifier. Distilled water, however, is fairly expensive. Ideal humidity The air in your home should range from 30 to 55 percent humidity. If the humidity is too high, mold and dust mites may thrive. Both are common causes of allergies. Mold also causes an unpleasant smell and can discolor surfaces. If the humidity falls too low, on the other hand, the people in your home may suffer dry eyes and may develop throat and sinus irritations. The simplest way to measure humidity is with a gauge called a humidistat. These gauges are often packaged with thermometers. You can usually buy one in a hardware store for less than $10.

Windmills, rising land values to boost Galva school revenue
Supt. Doug O'Riley told the Galva School Board at its recent January meeting that the new wind turbines and rising land values in the Galva area are causing a huge jump in property EAV — helping tax revenue for Galva schools.
Last year's EAV (equalized assessed valuation) was $46 million, O'Riley said. This year, it's $58 million and next year it wil be $72 million, he said. That means more tax funding for Galva School District, which has 77 turbines within its boundaries, O'Riley said.
Conversely, O'Riley also said Illinois is $200,000 to $300,000 behind in state aid owed to Galva schools.
He noted that some teachers are planning to retire, and are at or near the top of the salary scale. Their replacements probably won't be paid as highly, but O'Riley was quick to note that Galva school officials want only top educators. He said he does not expect any layoffs for next year. "We are already running at bare bones," he explained.

Greg Zyla: Readers remember Diana automobile
Q: Hello, Greg, I am 88 years old and my sister is 90, and we really enjoy your articles on the old cars. I am wondering if you have any information on a car called the Diana. My dad had one and it was a real big car. This was back in 1933, and I believe the model was a 1928. I remember it had a half moon with a bell and a crescent on the badges.
We always had fun in the back seat of this car as it was so big. I think it had an eight cylinder engine, too.
Any help you can give is much appreciated.
Thanks much, Tom Kendall, Washington.
A: Tom, I'd be glad to help. The Diana Motor Company built cars from 1925 through 1928, so it sounds like you dad bought his Diana in its last year of production. The reason you remember the half-moon on the numerous badges on the outside and interior is because the Diana was a subsidiary of the Moon Motor Car Company, which operated out of St. Louis.
Founded by noted carriage maker Joseph Moon in 1905, the company produced cars and trucks. They also built a cotton picker under contract by American Cotton Picker Corporation in the mid-1920s.
The year 1925 was Moon's best, when 10,271 vehicles were sold. In addition to the Moon name, Moons were sold under the Hol-Tan name in 1908 and then, following the end of the Diana name, Moon had another subsidiary that produced the Windsor in 1929 and 1930. The timing was bad, as the Great Depression hit hard in 1929 and by 1931, all of Moon's factories were sold to Ruxton Automobile Company.
Today, you can see Moon automobiles on display at the Museum Of Transportation in St. Louis.
In ending, your dad's Diana, which cost $1,895 back then (not cheap) was indeed powered by the first eight-cylinder engine offered by Moon, a Continental Straight-Eight.
Thanks for your question and the nice words.

Stiff Little Fingers Merchandise
Prior to becoming Stiff Little Fingers, Jake Burns, vocals and guitar, Henry Cluney, guitar, Gordon Blair, bass, and Brian Falloon, drums, were playing in a rock music cover band, Highway Star, in Belfast. Upon the departure of Gordon Blair (who went on to play with another Belfast group, Rudi), Ali McMordie took over on bass. Cluney had by this time discovered punk, and introduced the rest of the band to it. They decided that Highway Star wasn't a punky enough name, and after a brief flirtation with the name The Fast, decided to call themselves Stiff Little Fingers, Burns taking the name from a Vibrators track.
It was while they were doing a gig at the Glenmachan Hotel that they met up with Gordon Ogilvie, who was a journalist with the Daily Express newspaper, invited along for the evening by Colin McClelland, another journalist, with whom Jake had been corresponding.
Ogilvie suggested they play material based upon their experience of the Troubles. McClelland arranged to get the band some recording time at a local radio station, and in the studio normally used to record jingles, they recorded "Suspect Device". The single was packaged in the form of a cassette, with a cover depicting a cassette bomb, apparently causing great hilarity in the group, when one record company phoned them and asked for another copy, as they'd thrown the first one in a bucket of water for fear that it was a real bomb.
A copy of the single was sent to John Peel. He played it repeatedly leading to a distribution deal through Rough Trade. Peel would later do the same with the first single by another famous Northern Irish band, The Undertones. There were a number of well-publicised arguments between the two bands; the Undertones accused Stiff Little Fingers of sensationalising the Northern Ireland conflict, while they retorted that The Undertones ignored it.
In the second half of 1978, they toured with the Tom Robinson Band, and in 1979, they released their first album, Inflammable Material. This inspired their move to London, which led to the departure of Brian Falloon and Colin McClelland (who along with Gordon Ogilvie had been joint manager of the band up until that point). Inflammable Material was the first album released on Rough Trade records, and the first independent album to chart in the UK.
Jim Reilly became their drummer in time for the "Gotta Gettaway" single, and played in the Rock Against Racism tour.
In mid-1979, Stiff Little Fingers signed to Chrysalis Records, and in 1980 released their second album, Nobody's Heroes. 1981's Go For It followed. Soon after the Go For It tour, Jim Reilly left the band. His place was taken by Brian 'Dolphin' Taylor, who Jake remembered from Taylor's days with the Tom Robinson Band.
In 1982 came a 4 song EP called £1.10 or Less and then their fourth studio album, Now Then... (although their fifth album, as they had released a live LP, Hanx, between Nobody's Heroes and Go For It). By this time they had diversified musically, and Now Then had an almost pop feel about it in places. This led some of their more hard core punk fans to feel alienated, and in the face of low sales and concert attendances, they broke up in 1983, when Burns said: "Our last LP Now Then was to my mind the best album we have made. But it is also unfortunately the best I think we will ever make. So I have decided to call it a day." The band later revealed the original split had been somewhat acrimonious, with bandmembers apparently having fistfights rather than talking through their differences.
They reformed in 1987; according to Burns, because they were "skint and wanted to make a bit of cash to get back to Ireland for Christmas". They released some live albums and did short tours towards the end of the 1980s, and by 1990 were thinking of reforming permanently.
Ali McMordie decided he could not commit the time to tour full-time or record, and so left, being replaced by Bruce Foxton (previously bass guitarist in The Jam) in time to record 1991's Flags and Emblems. In Britain, the single from this album, "Beirut Moon", was withdrawn from sale on the first day of release, allegedly because it criticised the government for not acting to free hostage John McCarthy, who had been held in the Lebanon.
In 1993 Burns made what he described as one of the hardest decisions of his life and asked Henry Cluney to leave the band, and the trio of Jake Burns, Bruce Foxton and Dolphin Taylor continued for the next four years, joined on live shows by either Dave Sharp or Ian McCallum.
In 1994 they released Get a Life in the UK, releasing it in the U.S. in 1996. By the end of 1996 Taylor left due to family commitments. Burns called in Steve Grantley who had played drums for Jake Burns and the Big Wheel in the late 1980s.
The trio of Burns, Foxton and Grantley recorded 1997's Tinderbox album, with help from Ian McCallum who joined as a full time member for 1999's and best of all...Hope Street . This same line-up recorded 2003's Guitar and Drum.

Landry, No. 8 LSU hold off Arkansas 20-13
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Jarvis Landry helped LSU keep the SEC championship in reach with a 20-13 win over Arkansas on Friday.
Now the receiver and the rest of the No. 8 Tigers must sit back and wait while their next destination - perhaps next weekend's SEC championship game - is played out elsewhere.
Landry's spectacular, reaching, one-handed touchdown catch in the first half helped LSU (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) hold off the reeling Razorbacks. It marked the sixth time in eight seasons that the Tigers have reached double-digit wins under coach Les Miles.
LSU must now hope for an Alabama loss to Auburn (not likely) and Texas A&M victory against Missouri (very possible) today in order to win the SEC West and earn a trip to Atlanta. Even without a division crown, the Tigers could still get an at-large bid to the BCS.
"We'll take the next day and a half or so and watch TV tomorrow and be excited about it, and move forward and see how things go," Miles said.
Zach Mettenberger passed for 217 yards and hooked up with Landry for the play of the day with 1:12 left in the first half to put LSU up 10-0. The Tigers were outgained 462-306 in total yardage, but they were able to hold off record-setting performances by Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson and receiver Cobi Hamilton.
Wilson was 31 of 52 passing for the Razorbacks (4-8, 2-6) whose fall from preseason top 10 is now complete. The senior set the school record for career passing yards in the loss, while Hamilton set the school record for receptions in a career with 175.
The records were a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for a Razorbacks team that struggled mightily following the April firing of coach Bobby Petrino. Arkansas was 21-5 the last two seasons and entered the season with SEC and national championship expectations, but it was eliminated from the bowl picture following last week's loss at Mississippi State.
"We kind of stuck together (through) all the adversity," Hamilton said. "We're still brothers. We're still the same 2012 team that everybody had high expectations for. But we just stuck together."
The Tigers took at 17-3 lead early in the third quarter after a 1-yard touchdown run by Jeremy Hill, who finished with 77 yards rushing on 18 carries. The touchdown followed an 86-yard kickoff return by Michael Ford to the Arkansas 9.
It also appeared to be the clincher for LSU, though the Razorbacks rallied behind the combination of Wilson and Hamilton.
Wilson passed former Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallet's mark of 7,493 yards passing in the second quarter, finishing with 359 yards in the game and 7,765 yards for his career, and his 28-yard touchdown pass to freshman Mekale McKay in the third quarter closed the LSU lead to 17-10.
After forcing a Tigers' punt, the Razorbacks used a key fourth-and-1 conversion to set up another scoring opportunity. Wilson found Jonathan Williams for a 37-yard completion on the fourth down at midfield, helping to set up a second-and-goal at the LSU 1.
Arkansas was unable, however, to find the end zone on its next two plays. Interim coach John L. Smith then elected to kick a 17-yard field goal, which backup kicker John Henson converted to close the Tigers' lead to 17-13.
The Razorbacks never did find the end zone again, bringing a likely end to the Arkansas career of Smith - who was signed to a 10-month contract following Petrino's firing.
"That's the right call," Smith said of the field goal attempt. "I mean, you have to score twice to win it, don't you? At least, I think you had to score twice to win it unless my math was wrong. So do you take it there? You have to take the sure points and then come back you have to score again anyway. So that was the thought, and I think that's the right call."
The Razorbacks had one final chance in the closing seconds, but Wilson's second-down attempt from the LSU 18 was over McKay's head as time expired.
LSU's final score came on a 27-yard field goal by Drew Alleman with 1:26 remaining, giving it a 20-13 lead. The score came after a key 47-yard third-down completion from Mettenberger to Odell Beckham, who finished with eight catches for 112 yards.
The Tigers led 10-0 at halftime in their first game in Fayetteville since 1992. They did so despite gaining the same 165 yards of total offense as the Razorbacks, whose season-long series of miscues continued in the half.
Arkansas, next to last in the SEC in red-zone offense, squandered three scoring opportunities in the half. Dennis Johnson fumbled near the LSU goal line on the game's opening drive, and kicker Zach Hocker misfired on a pair of field goal attempts before being benched in favor of Henson in the second half.
LSU's first touchdown came late in the first half when Mettenberger found Landry in the back of the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown. Landry had to reach back over his wrong shoulder to stretch out and snare the ball with his right hand, landing well in bounds.
"I felt that the throw kind of kept me in bounds," Landry said. "I felt that if he had led me any, there was a possibility I could have been out of bounds.
"It's just one of those throws where Zach trusted me, and I just went up and made it."
Hamilton finished with 10 catches for 98 yards in his final game at Arkansas, finishing his career with 175 catches. His record broke the former mark of 168 catches, set last year by Minnesota Vikings' rookie Jarius Wright.

The Situation of "Opting Out"
Posted by The Situationist Staff on December 29, 2011
Since the early 2000s, much of Situationist Contributors' research, writing, teaching, and speaking has focused on the role of "choice," "the choice myth," and "choicism" in rationalizing injustice and inequality, particularly in the U.S. (e.g., The Blame Frame: Justifying (Racial) Injustice in America). That work has, among other factors, helped to inspire a growing body of fascinating experimental research (and, unfortunately, one derivative book) on the topic. Over the next couple of months, we will highlight some of that intriguing new research on The Situationist. (First installment, "Choice and Inequality, is here.)
Here is a summary of research co-authored by Situationist friend Nicole Stephens.
From APS:
For the first time in history, the majority of Americans believe that women's job opportunities are equal to men's. For example, a 2005 Gallup poll indicated that 53 percent of Americans endorse the view that opportunities are equal, despite the fact that women still earn less than men, are underrepresented at the highest levels of many fields, and face other gender barriers such as bias against working mothers and inflexible workplaces.
New research from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University helps to explain why many Americans fail to see these persistent gender barriers. The research demonstrates that the common American assumption that behavior is a product of personal choice fosters the belief that opportunities are equal and that gender barriers no longer exist in today's workplace.
The study, "Opting Out or Denying Discrimination? How the Framework of Free Choice in American Society Influences Perceptions of Gender Inequality," suggests that the assumption that women "opt out" of the workforce, or have the choice between career or family, promotes the belief that individuals are in control of their fates and are unconstrained by the environment.
The study was co-authored by Nicole M. Stephens, assistant professor of management and organizations at the Kellogg School of Management, and Cynthia S. Levine, a doctoral student in the psychology department at Stanford University. It will be published in a forthcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
"Although we've made great strides toward gender equality in American society, significant obstacles still do, in fact, hold many women back from reaching the upper levels of their organizations," said Stephens. "In our research, we sought to determine how the very idea of 'opting out,' or making a choice to leave the workplace, may be maintaining these social and structural barriers by making it more difficult to recognize gender discrimination."
In one study, a group of stay-at-home mothers answered survey questions about how much choice they had in taking time off from their career and about their feelings of empowerment in making life plans and controlling their environment.
The participants then reviewed a set of real statistics about gender inequality in four fields – business, politics, law and science/engineering – and were asked to evaluate whether these barriers were due to bias against women or societal and workplace factors that make it difficult for women to hold these positions.
As predicted, most women explained their workplace departure as a matter of personal choice – which is reflective of the cultural understanding of choice in American society and underscores how the prevalence of choice influences behavior. These same women experienced a greater sense of personal well-being, but less often recognized the examples of discrimination and structural barriers presented in the statistics.
In a follow-up experiment, the researchers examined the consequences of the common cultural representation of women's workplace departure as a choice. Specifically, they examined how exposure to a choice message influenced Americans' beliefs about equality and the existence of discrimination. First, undergraduate students were subtly exposed to one of two posters on a wall about women leaving the workforce: either a poster with a choice message ("Choosing to Leave: Women's Experiences Away from the Workforce") or one in a control condition that simply said "Women at Home: Experiences Away from the Workforce."
Then, the participants were asked to take a survey about social issues. The participants exposed to the first poster with the choice message more strongly endorsed the belief that opportunities are equal and that gender discrimination is nonexistent, versus the control group who more clearly recognized discrimination. Interestingly, those participants who considered themselves to be feminists were more likely than other participants to identify discrimination.
"This second experiment demonstrates that even subtle exposure to the choice framework promotes the belief that discrimination no longer exists," said Levine. "One single brief encounter – such as a message in a poster – influenced the ability to recognize discrimination. Regular exposure to such messages could intensify over time, creating a vicious cycle that keeps women from reaching the top of high-status fields."
Overall, Stephens and Levine noted that while choice may be central to women's explanations of their own workplace departure, this framework is a double-edged sword.
"Choice has short-term personal benefits on well-being, but perhaps long-term detriments for women's advancement in the workplace collectively," said Stephens. "In general, as a society we need to raise awareness and increase attention for the gender barriers that still exist. By taking these barriers into account, the discussion about women's workplace departure could be reframed to recognize that many women do not freely choose to leave the workplace, but instead are pushed out by persistent workplace barriers such as limited workplace flexibility, unaffordable childcare, and negative stereotypes about working mothers."

He's been writing about tech for more than two decades and serves as the SVP and General Manager of Lifewire. lifewire's editorial guidelines Updated on January 10, 2023 Tweet Share Email Tweet Share Email In This Article Expand Jump to a Section Ole32.dll Error Messages Step-by-Step: Fix the Errors How to Get More Help Ole32.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the ole32 DLL file, also called Microsoft OLE for Windows. In some cases, ole32.dll errors could indicate a registry problem, a virus or malware issue, or even a hardware failure. The ole32.dll error message could apply to any program or system that might utilize the file on any of Microsoft's operating systems, including Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, etc. Ole32.dll Errors There are several ways ole32.dll errors can show up on your computer. Here are some of the more common examples: Ole32.dll Not FoundThis application failed to start because ole32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.Cannot find [PATH]\ole32.dllThe file ole32.dll is missing.Cannot start [APPLICATION]. A required component is missing: ole32.dll. Please install [APPLICATION] again. These error messages might appear while using or installing certain programs, when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation. The context of the error is an important piece of information that will be helpful while solving the problem. How to Fix Ole32.dll Errors Follow these steps in the order they're given below to try the simpler solutions first. Don't download ole32.dll from a "DLL download" website. There are many reasons why downloading DLLs like that is a bad idea. If you need a copy of this file, it's best to obtain it from its original, legitimate source. Restore ole32.dll from the Recycle Bin. The easiest possible cause of a "missing" ole32.dll file is that you've mistakenly deleted it. If you suspect this, but you've already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recover the file with a free file recovery program. Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of these steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the error. Run a virus/malware scan of your entire system. Some ole32.dll errors could be related to a virus or other malware infection on your computer that has damaged the DLL file. It's even possible that the error you're seeing is related to a hostile program that's masquerading as the file. Use System Restore to undo recent system changes. If you suspect that the ole32.dll error was caused by a change made to an important file or configuration, System Restore could solve the problem. Reinstall the program that uses the ole32.dll file. If the error occurs when you use a particular program, reinstalling the program should replace the file. Try your best to complete this step. Reinstalling the program that provides the file, if possible, is a likely solution to this DLL error. Update the drivers for hardware devices that might be related to ole32.dll. If, for example, you're receiving a "The file ole32.dll is missing" error when you play a 3D video game, try updating the drivers for your video card. The ole32.dll file may or may not be related to video cards—this was just an example. The key here is to pay close attention to the context of the error and troubleshoot accordingly. Roll back a driver to a previously installed version if ole32.dll errors began after updating a particular hardware device's driver. Run the sfc/scannow System File Checker command to replace a missing or corrupt copy of the ole32.dll file. This DLL file is provided by Microsoft, so the System File Checker tool should restore it. Install any available Windows updates. Many service packs and other patches replace or update some of the hundreds of Microsoft distributed DLL files on your computer. The ole32.dll file could be included in one of those updates. Test your memory and then test your hard drive. Your computer's memory and hard drive are easy to test and are the most likely components that might cause ole32.dll errors as they fail. If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible. Repair your installation of Windows. If the individual troubleshooting advice above is unsuccessful, performing a startup repair or repair installation should restore all Windows DLL files to their working versions. Use a free registry cleaner to repair ole32.dll related issues in the registry. A registry cleaner program may be able to help by removing invalid registry entries that might be causing the error. The use of registry cleaners are rarely recommended. We've included the option here as a "last resort" attempt before the destructive step coming up next. Perform a clean installation of Windows. This will erase everything from the hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows. If none of the steps above correct the ole32.dll error, this should be your next course of action. All the information on your hard drive will be erased during this step. Make sure you've made the best attempt possible to fix the ole32.dll error using a troubleshooting step prior to this one. Troubleshoot for a hardware problem if any ole32.dll errors persist. After a clean Windows installation, your DLL problem can only be hardware related. Need More Help? If you're not interested in fixing this problem yourself, learn how you can get your computer fixed for a full list of your support options, plus help with everything along the way like figuring out repair costs, getting your files off, choosing a repair service, and a lot more.

Datlow and Windling's collaborations have amassed a treasure trove of awards, not limited to multiple Bram Stoker Awards, World Fantasy Awards, International Horror Guild Awards, Hugo Awards … the list goes on and on.
On the surface, these women couldn't be more different. Ellen Datlow lives in a large U.S. city - Terri Windling lives in a small village in the U.K. Datlow enjoys science fiction and horror – Windling, fantasy and mythic fiction. Datlow adores cats and collects dolls and doll parts – Windling adores dogs and is a dedicated artist. Yet, their opposites have melded in order to create some of the finest and most enduring fantasy and horror anthologies in the marketplace today.
"Snow White, Blood Red," the first of their six volumes of fairy tale retellings, was at the forefront of the modern revival of adult fairy tale literature. Datlow and Windling co-edited the ground-breaking "Year's Best Fantasy & Horror" volumes for 16 years. "The Green Man: Tales of the Mythic Forest" is the editors' exploration of forest myth and symbolism, and suggested reading for teens and adult alike. There are no boundaries to Datlow and Windling's creative endeavors.
Now, "After: Nineteen Stories of Apocalypse and Dystopia" is being released by Hyperion on Oct. 9. From Amazon.com: "If the melt-down, flood, plague, the third World War, new Ice Age, Rapture, alien invasion, clamp-down, meteor, or something else entirely hit today, what would tomorrow look like? Some of the biggest names in YA and adult literature answer that very question in this short story anthology, each story exploring the lives of teen protagonists raised in catastrophe's wake — whether set in the days after the change, or decades far in the future."
There are some people who believe anthologies aren't as popular as they once were. Read one edited by Datlow and Windling and you will find out just how wrong "some people" can be.
Q. The obvious question: What caused the two of you to work together initially, and what defining moment said this was a good idea that needed to continue?
A. Jim Frenkel created the "Year's Best Fantasy & Horror" series and he hired the two of us to edit it -- with Ellen handling the horror half of each volume and Terri, the fantasy half. Both of us were living in New York back then, and we knew each other socially through publishing circles, but we'd never worked together before. We liked the experience so much that we then paired up to create the "Snow White, Blood Red" series ... and 25 years later we're still editorial partners, and good friends.
We find that the strength we have as a team is that we both love fantastic literature, but we come at it from opposite directions: Ellen from the dark fantasy and horror end of the spectrum, Terri from the high fantasy and mythic fiction end, with our tastes overlapping somewhere in the middle. This gives the books that we edit together a broader range and diversity.
Q. Keeping a finger on the pulse of readers is a tricky business these days. What barometer do you use to best guess the direction of readers' interests?
A. We both read widely and stay abreast of what's going on in the publishing industry. And sometimes our literary agent, whose finger is very much on the pulse of the industry, recommends a theme to us. Our last two anthologies, "Teeth" and "After," were based on themes she suggested.
Q. You work together, and separately. What defines when you will work together?
A. Basically we work together on books that we think will benefit from our diversity of tastes. For science fiction, or pure horror, Ellen tends to work solo -- while Terri generally works solo on projects that focus more on the purely fantastic end of the spectrum.
Both "Teeth" (our YA vampire anthology) and "After" (our YA dystopian anthology) are unusual books for us because their themes fall more naturally into Ellen's camp than Terri's. But because these themes are so commercially popular, and thus a bit over-familiar to readers, our aim was to do something fresh and original with the topics. We felt we could do this best together, drawing on our different but complimentary editorial backgrounds.
Q. How has the onset of e-books altered what you do?
A. Like most of the publishing industry, we're still figuring this out! The most immediate effect is a positive one: we're able to make a number of our older, out-of-print anthologies available again in e-book form, which gives them new life.
Q. Any parting comments for your readers and those yet to become familiar with your work?
A. We create anthologies out of love for the form, and writers write short stories out of love for the form -- nobody makes a lot of money this way, we all do it out of passion and conviction. We create anthologies because we believe in short stories, and we want to find ways to get them into readers' hands. Our ultimate aim is to keep the market for fantastic short fiction alive and thriving -- and every reader who buys anthologies, or recommends them, or reviews them, is helping to keep it alive too. And this in turn supports the creative evolution of writers both new and established.
"Short fiction seems more targeted [than novels]," says Paolo Bacigalupi (who writes both), "hand grenades of ideas, if you will. When they work, they hit, they explode, and you never forget them."
That's it in a nutshell.

Walk for Warmth raises $10,365 for utility payments
By RICHARD CROFTON
CHEBOYGAN — In its fourth year of existence in Cheboygan County, the Walk for Warmth had another successful day Saturday.
Those who participated in the 2.18-mile event helped raise $10,365.50 for this year.
"We experience a little cold so others can experience a little heat," said event coordinator Rik Rambo. "We have helped 154 families since this has started."
Even though this year's event fell slightly from last year's total, he said it still will help a lot of families keep their utilities on.
"If everybody did something, nobody would have to do everything," he said. "We had raised $5,500 before the doors opened with donations. We also have helped three families already."
Rambo said the whole event grew out of a church's Bible study in 2009.
"I was at a Bible study and someone came in and asked help for utilities," he said. "The pastor said it was common to get requests everyday."
Rambo said he started talking with people about doing something as a community ― and the Walk for Warmth idea was born.
"We can give up to $300 per family for utilities in Cheboygan County," he said. "They first have to go to DHS (Department of Human Services), then the Salvation Army and then us. They have to have a cutoff notice and we will pay the utility company directly."
The organizer said the amount paid must keep the utility on as "We are not in business to keep the utility company going."
Rambo said the event has helped many since it was started.
"The first year, we had some just ask for $17," he said. "Our goal is to raise $20,000 every year."
The group has not reached that goal yet, but have done well in its efforts.
In 2010, $8,200 was raised and 36 families assisted; in 2011, 50 families were assisted and $12,000 was raised; and last year, $13,800 was raised and 68 families helped.
"People receive $240 on average from our program," Rambo said. "However, the problem continues to grow."
Some of those who participated in Saturday's event said they did it because people need help.
"I was invited here by friends. Michigan's economy is tough," said Bill Lytle of Metamora, Michigan. "It is a way to help. We should be doing it."
Nina and Brian Speranza of Alanson said they were walking to help people out.
"We are pretty fortunate to both have jobs," they said. "We want to give something back."
Jolene Kennedy of Cheboygan said she took part in the event last year.
"It is a way to raise money and it is a good cause," she said.
Rambo, who also is the executive director of the Straits Area Services, said the group always is looking for volunteers to help and meetings will start in March for the informal group.
"I have been told I can't leave," he said of his position as coordinator. "That's fine. I love it."

Thursday night was the first Ladies Night of 2010 at Nationals Park, as ticket-holders were treated to a Hawaiian-themed Luau party on the Rooftop Party Deck before the game.
Not ones to miss out on a good time, the Nationals racing presidents joined in on the fun, donning Hawaiian shirts for the occasion.
After showing off new red racing uniforms in April, this marked another of the new costumes the Nationals promised we'd see in 2010.
The famous Pittsburgh Pierogies were in town for the final game of the series between the Nats and Pirates, but rather than run alongside the presidents during the 4th inning race, they were stationed along the outfield warning track, preparing the Hawaiian-themed antics for the night.
After emerging from the centerfield gate, the racing presidents encountered a limbo pole being held by two pierogies. Teddy Roosevelt went through first, using his stature as the shortest racing president to his advantage, but the Bull Moose ducked the big stick, cheating his way under the pole.
Teddy's shortcut gave him the lead as they then approached the hula hoops in the outfield corner, but he was too enthralled by the toys to continue, and while too-tall Abe Lincoln continued to struggle with the limbo pole, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson made a mad dash to the finish.
George and Tom broke the tape together in a photo finish, and Nationals PA Announcer Jerome Hruska was unable to call a winner, deferring to on-field judge and Nationals Mascot Screech.
Screech made the call for George, which our photo suggests was the right call — by a nose.
This video courtesy of YouTube member lfahome captures the photo finish, and at the very end, some members of Teddy's Texas cheering section that were in attendance Thursday.

The Jewish calendar is filled with celebrations, each has its unique foods and traditions. What better way to celebrate than with columnist, blogger, cook author Jayne Cohen's Jewish Holiday Cooking? Ms. Cohen covers the spectrum of Jewish cooking around the world. Her dishes – though often traditional – include many a delightful surprise, an update in taste.
The recipes are peppered with quotes from the vast world of Jewish writing ranging from the Talmud to Nathan Englander, from Chaim Grade to Sholem Aleichem, from the Zohar to Shmuel Hanagid and more. It is obvious this is not just a cookbook, it is a paean to Judaism, its timeless spiritual and cultural values, with the recipes representing a way to celebrate it all.
As I browse through the pages, it is obvious the author loves many genres of books, her quotes, her references, her intros to the individual recipes, her writing in general becomes "unputdownable." As you leaf through, as you read through, not only do you see yourself at the very locals she's traveled but you can smell and taste as well. Written in the best tradition of M.F.K Fischer, Joseph Wechsberg, Hillaire du Berrier and Ruth Reichl, Ms. Cohen leaves you begging for more…
With Chanuka coming up in less than a month, what could be better than an interesting latke recipe to whet one's appetite?
Garlic-Rosemary Potato Latkes
Yield: About 4 servings
These exceptionally fragrant potato pancakes require no topping or sauce as adornment. They are perfect as is, ready to accompany any roasted or grilled chicken or meat.
- About 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold or 3 large russet (baking) potatoes, peeled
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon matzoh meal or unbleached all-purpose flour
- About 3/4 teaspoon salt
- About 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Olive oil, for frying
- Sea salt (optional)
- Shred the potatoes, using the shredding disk in a food processor. (Don't wash out the food processor–you'll be using it again right away.) Transfer the potatoes to a colander or strainer and use your hands or a wooden spoon to press out as much moisture as possible.
- Remove the shredding disk from the processor and replace with the steel blade. Return about one third of the shredded potatoes to the food processor. Add the garlic and rosemary and process, using the pulse motion, until roughly pureed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the remaining potatoes, the egg, matzoh meal or flour, salt and pepper to taste, and the baking powder to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. Let stand for 10 minutes to mingle the flavors.
- In a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet (cast-iron is ideal), heat about 1/4 inch of oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Drop 1/4 cup of the potato latke batter into the pan and flatten with a spatula. Repeat with more batter, cooking no more than 4 or 5 latkes at a time; crowding the pan will give you soggy latkes.
- Regulate the heat carefully, reducing it to medium as the latkes fry until golden and crisp on the bottom, about 4 minutes. To prevent oil from splattering, use two spatulas (or a spatula and a large spoon) to turn the latkes carefully. Fry until crisp and golden on the other side.
- It's best to flip the latkes only once, so that they don't absorb too much oil. So, before turning, lift the latkes slightly with the spatula to make sure the underside is crisp and brown.
- As the latkes are done, transfer them to paper towels or untreated brown paper bags to drain.
- Continue making latkes in the same manner until all the batter is used. If necessary, add more oil to the pan, but always allow the oil to get hot before frying a new batch.
- Serve straightaway, sprinkled with a little coarse salt, if you'd like. Or if necessary, keep the latkes warm in a 200 degree F oven (arrange them in a single layer on a rack placed over an oven-proof platter or baking sheet) and serve when they are all ready to be brought to the table.

Gabriel thought he had prepared well, waited for the perfect moment and appeared next to Zacharias at the altar. Here's how King James [the other one, the one in the 17th century] described it:
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Then it happened. Zacharias interrupted Gabriel.
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years
Apparently Gabriel's preparation was one 'shalt not' short, as in 'thy shall not speak until frogs fly or there is some morsel of knowledge that bipeds could possibly ever acquire before those of us who hang with God–on our off days!–would not already know. Yeah I'm hanging on your every thought there Zach.' For those who knew Gabriel, head-strong, talking loud … what came next was not a surprise.
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
OK that reads stronger than it sounded at the time, Gabriel thought. People forget, angels are messengers, not saints. He had a message for Zacharias and delivered it. After all, this wasn't his first rodeo. At least Daniel had sense enough to just listen. He had found Zacharias' response a tad grating and meted out proportional punishment. A little time-out from speaking. What, that's now the thin edge of the fascist wedge? What is our world coming to, he thought, when angels are more old school than God.
God: Gabriel?
Gabriel: [eyes down, palms up and slowly rising]
God: Glad you are ready. I have another.

(ARA) - Whether it's extra bedroom space, a new den, a playroom or just a quiet spot to call your own, finishing the basement is one of the greatest ways to improve cramped living. However, a basement has a few unique characteristics that must be considered to ensure that the space functions well for your needs.
First, be sure that you obtain all the proper permits to complete your project. Check with your local government center or online to find out what is required in your area. Most local city, county, and state requirements can be found online.
One of the most common problems with basement refinishing ideas is the ceiling height. Many basement ceilings are lower than the average ceilings in your home. One way to help reduce this problem is to finish around your ductwork. Boxing (enclosing) around it allows you to have higher ceilings in the majority of your basement.
This solution works for some. Others may feel the boxed enclosures are an unattractive eye sore. Ductwork generally takes up a lot of space on a basement ceiling. Re-ducting to accommodate your basement finishing ideas is also an option but can be very costly. Using a vaulted ceiling also helps give the illusion of a taller space.
Basement Finishing Ideas
When purchasing carpeting for your new room, be sure to obtain good padding and go for thicker carpet. Your upstairs rooms generally have wood under the carpet. However, in your basement it will likely be concrete. Thus, the flooring upstairs is a little softer by nature. If your basement floor is concrete, adding a little extra cushion makes it more comfortable. If you choose hardwood floors, you may still want an extra layer of padding to help control moisture.
You'll also want to consider the plumbing and electrical facilities in your basement. Make sure to provide easy access to areas that may need repairs later. These can be covered but you'll need to make sure the covering can be removed without damaging adjoining materials. Again, boxing in with easy access openings is the method most commonly used.
A basement remodel is a major project. It is important to decide what you want before you find a contractor to finish your basement. It will make the process flow more smoothly and help to ensure that the contractor understands your needs, style and desires before the project starts. This will also help you get both accurate pricing and a better estimate on the timeline of your project from your contractor.

Today's News: Our Take - Exclusive Anger Management DVD Clip: Charlie Sheen and Selma Blair's Flirtatious Chemistry
To say Selma Blair made an impression during her audition for Anger Management might be an understatement.
In this exclusive clip from the Charlie Sheen comedy's Season 1 DVD (available Tuesday, Jan. 8.), Sheen, Blair and executive producer Bruce Helford share behind-the-scenes scoop from Blair's audition for the role of Kate, Charlie's therapist, best friend whom he's also sleeping with. "I remember she read with her legs over his legs," Helford says. "We were almost kind of embarrassed to be in the room because it was that kind of chemistry between them."
Ian Somerhalder? Sofia Vergara? Make your picks for TV's sexiest eye candy now!
Blair remembers taking things even further. "I took the opportunity to flirt with Charlie," she says. "There were a couple choices I made: I think I unbuckled Charlie's belt, I recall, and Bruce very sweetly afterwards was like, 'Hmm, you don't like have to do that as a character.'"
What did Sheen have to say about working with Blair? And which co-star thinks there might be more going on than meets the eye between the on-screen duo? Watch the clip to find out!
Anger Management: Season One comes out on DVD Tuesday, Jan. 8. Season 2 premieres on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 9/8c.
