10 Things You Should Always Buy in Bulk Meat Normally perishable goods should be avoided at the bulk store, unless you’re feeding one of those enormous families that they make reality shows about. But one notable exception is meat, which tends to freeze well. If you eat meat on a regular basis, it makes sense to find it when it’s on sale, buy a ton and put it in the freezer – but be careful to seal and freeze it properly, and don’t fool yourself into thinking that it will last forever in there. “I do [buy meat] if it fits into my meal plan for the month,” says House.

Making beautiful forms; Square and Recurly Making beautiful forms; Square and Recurly Posted by Dion Almaer about a year ago on ux I recently had some time to play with some apps (stuck somewhere with no place to go). I started to play with Square (and their card case app). One area that jumped out to me was on a very simple flow. Most sites make you select a bunch of unnecessarily information and the forms are overly verbose. Initial Ask You are simply asked for your credit card number: There is a mini picture of a credit card to the left of the number text field As soon as you type a number the credit card “face” changes to become a VISA or MASTERCARD (or whatever) showing you instantly that they are grokking what you are typing in. Now you are asked for the secondary info As soon as the full credit card is in place, the text field zooms to a small size, showing just the last 4 digit (nice privacy and use of space). The feedback throughout the experience is fantastic. Nice job Square!

How to Draw Celtic Knotwork The old method These instructions can be followed with pencil and paper or using any computer based drawing or drafting program. I have used Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, and AutoDesk AutoCad for various projects, but my favorite is Corel Draw. In the tutorial below I show the method that I use in Corel Draw; however, I have deliberately left out program-specific instructions. I did this to make the instructions more broadly applicable to work with as many drawing and CAD programs as possible. This method, like most, begins with drawing the grid. The second step is to draw in the diagonals. Next draw in the connecting curves that will become the edges of the knotwork. This is the step that most people have the most trouble with: deciding where to "Break the Grid". So, where do we put these spaces to make an aesthetically pleasing design? Here is how I do it:: I CHEAT! 1). Or 2). But back to the tutorial. Follow the diagonals until you come to a red line. We're almost there!
