The American wedding, assessed. - By Meghan O'Rourke - Slate Magazine: What is most distinctive about the wedding industry isn’t that it persuades us to spend a lot of time and money on the event—as consumers today, we’re besieged by what Barry Schwartz has called the “paradox of choice” and can waste precious minutes just trying to find the right toothpaste. What’s different here is that the wedding juggernaut can persuade us to spend so much more money than we feel we should.

angry chicken: homemade deodorant (yup.):

Here’s what I ended up mixing together for this batch: 3 Tablespoons shea butter 3 Tablespoons baking soda 2 Tablespoons corn starch 2 Tablespoons cocoa butter 2 vitamin E oil gel caps (puncture and squeeze out the oil) Essential Oil (I used ylang yang and orange)

I melted all the ingredients (except the oils) and gave it a good stir. This only took about 30 seconds in the microwave. Then added the oils, stirred again, and poured it in a jar, then placed it in the fridge to set. This recipe filled the jar in my hand, which is a 1/2 pint.

Deconstruction:

“Try telling a man whose children are starving that the damage to the building he’s ripping copper from far outweighs the value of the metal in his arms. You can’t assume any scrapper has such a noble heart: perhaps he is just looking for that next hit of crack, or the payment for last month’s cell phone bill. These men have minds like locusts. They see a city abandoned, with cash just sitting there, waiting to be harvested. Myopia is not just a luxury of the privileged.”

I’d never heard of scrappers until this article. This is a really interesting essay on the sub-culture.

makingitfun: Designing Spaces room makeover: No more spray adhesives and toxic fumes. simply cover the surface with undiluted starch, smooth the fabric over the surface then apply another coat, thoroughly soaking. Smooth out air bubbles with a paintbrush or my preferred method; fingers (if you liked finger painting you’ll love this).
