I feel like these debates are all too familiar ... but isn't it better to debate than to ban free thought outright?

a happy medium?
Can't a family encourage its children to follow their own dreams, while still teaching them the discipline and hard work necessary to attain those goals? Do you have to live an isolated life, shielded from any and all distractions, in order to achieve?
Beer Pong (AKA Beirut)
This article fails to mention what a horribly disgusting pastime this can be ... Reportedly Beirut is a lovely city, but this game seems to be designed to promote the spread of disease and the consumption of filth.
Consider: opponents bounce balls into cups of each other's beers, prompting their consumption. The drinker fishes out the ball (leaving behind any amount of lint, sawdust, grass, peanut shells or other debris collected during various missteps during its travels) and pounds said beer. Then the same ball is bounced toward other beer cups, repeating the cycle.
Ok, I've thought too much about this.

small batch baking
I love ReadyMade magazine ... here's just one good idea included within ...

The recycling bin is no place for your highly useful tuna can. Debby Maugans Nakos, author of Small Batch Baking, uses hers for making tiny cakes, like this decadent chocolate gâteau.
Start by removing the top (use a super-sharp can opener like Oxo Good Grips to make a clean tear), then rip off the label and scrub out any fishy remnants. For a two-layer cake, use a 14- to 14.5-ounce can; for a single layer, use an 8-ounce can.
Butter every crevice inside the can and line the bottom with parchment paper. Drop small dollops of batter off the tip of a narrow rubber spatula into the center of the can. Fill it no more than one-quarter or one-third of the way up, and smooth the top of the batter with the spatula tip.
Bake for 20 to 35 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the can, then run the tip of a sharp, narrow knife around the edges. It should slip out easily onto your mini platter.
