Combined heat and power generation in the brick and tile industry
Bietigheim-Bissingen, 5th December 2014 –Considering the high process temperatures required for making structural clay building products, micro gas turbinetechnology is very well suited for economical application in brick production facilities. The Eco Energy CompactPower System (CPS) engineered and manufactured by the mechanical and plant engineering group Dürr isnot only based on micro gas turbine technology, it is also compact, reliable and requires little maintenance.
In ceramic production, the high energy expenditures for operating the kiln and drying the wares are a crucial cost driver. In Germany, the financial burden of rising outlays for energy is increasing continuously. Apart from optimizing a plant's dryers and kilns, the available options include the adoption of combined heat and power generation (CHP) as a way to reduce the impact of rising energy prices on the economic efficiency of production. Considering the high process temperatures required for making structural clay building products, micro gas turbine technology is very well suited for economical application in brickworks. The CPS engineered and marketed by Dürr, a mechanical and plant engineering group with headquarters in Bietigheim-Bissingen, is not only based on micro gas turbine technology, it is also compact, reliable and requires little maintenance. Dürr also helps brickyard operators integrate micro gas turbines into greenfield or brownfield installations according to their own specific needs. Experience to date with the use of Dürr's CPS for heating dryers in various branches of the industry documents the fact that it reduces the users' cost outlays for electricity and dryer heating energy. For example in Germany the economic viability of CHP solutions is additionally expanded by a 60% or higher exemption from the EEG surcharge and various other privileges and stimulations.
Continuous-flow and chamber dryers are in widespread use throughout the brick and tile sector, where green products are dried with hot air in several stages with end temperatures ranging between 100 and 200° C. Air circulators provide for intensive air circulation and mixing as due to a quality-assured setting, the climatic conditions at every point within the dryer must be as uniform as possible.
The individual compartments of chamber dryers are filled separately at periodic intervals, and the individual drying processes are started at different times. Nevertheless, most such dryers have so many chambers, that, as far as overall energy expenditure is concerned, practically continuous operation can be assumed.
Usually, kilns and dryers in the brick and tile industry are linked to each other to form a combined energy system. After firing, the bricks are brought down to exit temperature in a single- or multi-stage counterflow cooler, depending on the process details. The resultant heat of the cooling process is forwarded
to the dryer through a feed-air duct and used to help dry the greenware.
In practice, the exhaust air from the kiln's cooling zone sometimes, depending on the product, does not suffice to provide all the thermal energy the dryer needs. In that case, a gas burner is used to generate the rest of the thermal energy and inject it into the system. The gas burner is customarily located in the supply air duct leading to the dryer. In some cases and for certain products, the burner logs have long running times and consume accordingly, large amounts of gas resulting in high energy expenditures.
Reducing costs with micro gas turbine exhaust
The cost of generating the supplementary heat needed for the dryer can be markedly reduced with the aid of highly efficient combined heat and power generation system, where heat and power for captive use are generated at the same time. Not only at brickworks, but throughout the ceramic industry, micro gas turbines are particularly well suited for this task, because they generate and provide completely gaseous, high-temperature thermal energy for immediate use in the dryer.
If the cooling air from the kiln alone is not sufficient for heating the dryer, a micro gas turbine can be integrated, with the hot exhaust from the turbine being fed into the supply air duct at some point between the kiln and the dryer (»1). The electricity being generated simultaneously can be used mainly for driving the plant's production equipment. This reduces the rate of purchased power consumption and cuts production costs accordingly. The really high availability of CPS guarantees continous production. Caused by the gas burner nearly 100% of availability could be reached.
Picture 1: Heat supply from a Dürr CPS in a kiln-dryer closed heat cycle
Dürr's micro gas turbine CPS
For such cases, Dürr has an economical solution to offer: a CPS based on micro gas turbine technology. Capable of generating up to 100 kW the CPS modulates within the 30 to 100 kW range, depending on the momentary power requirement. The CPS's thermal output runs between 210 and 520 kW, subject to the momentary exhaust gas temperature. Contingent on the exhaust-gas exploitation rate, the CPS achieves overall efficiencies up to 98%.
Other CPS characteristics include a minimal maintenance requirement that incurs much lower costs than reciprocating CHP motors, outstanding emission values (CO and NOx < 15 ppm) coupled with high availability. The CPS is therefore very expedient for generating captive power and drawing process heat from dryers in brickworks.
The core component of the system is a turbine-generator unit with an integral compressor (»2). The turbine drives the compressor and the generator via an oil-lubricated shaft. The combustion air for the micro gas turbine is drawn in locally and densified in the compressor, then heated up internally to increase the efficiency. Together with the requisite fuel, the preheated air is fed into the combustion chamber, where it burns with extremely low emissions. At the same time, the turbine is being turned at speeds up to 70 000 revolutions per minute to generate high-frequency electrical current that is first rectified and then put through a power electronic module to emerge as 50 or 60 Hz AC current for synchronization with the local network. As an alternative to mains-synchronized operation, island operation is also possible. The system-specific low-emission exhaust gas can be flexibly utilized for the downstream process. Particularly for drying processes, a micro gas turbine offers the advantage, that the entire useful heat is available from the high temperature exhaust volume. The temperature of the exhaust gas can be regulated between 270 and 650 °C by adjusting the internal heat recovery (recuperation) to the customer's own needs.
Picture 2: CPS system embodiment. Thanks to their simple system anatomy with only a single rotating component, micro gas turbines are not only very efficient, but also reliable, quiet-running and require little maintenance.
The Dürr CPS can be individually tailored to case-by-case needs in terms of energy requirements and dryer operating mode and neatly incorporated into the overall system (»3). Economically efficient operation of the CPS has been successfully demonstrated on a number of different kilns and dryers in the automotive, textile and ceramic industries.
Picture 3: Integration of a micro gas trubine System in a car body oven
Autarkic, kiln-decoupled heating
For some time now, the brick and tile industry has been debating the pros and cons of decoupling the kiln from the dryer. If in the future it should become possible to decouple the two, the new systems would not require a closed heat cycle, but new, more economical heating options will become available for use on dryers. In view of the high temperatures prevailing in brick and tile dryers for example, they lend themselves well to being heated exclusively with exhaust heat from a micro gas turbine (»4). This ensures a highly efficient supply of heat.
Dürr has already successfully installed such dryer heating arrangements for customers in the automotive, ceramic and textile sectors.
Picture 4: Should it become possible in the future to thermally decouple dryer and kiln, then the thermal energy content of the turbine exhaust can be fully exploited for heating the dryer.
High Return on Investment
The best service conditions for a CPS are found, when continuous full-load operation is feasible, and a CPS can cater to the base load. The customer's heat and power requirements must, of course, be analysed at the planning stage. Then, based on the resulting data, a decision must be made as to whether the CPS should be concentrated on producing heat or electricity. That known, the Dürr CPS can be accommodated to the customer's
own specific requirements.
The rule of thumbs is the more operating hours involved and the greater the spread between the price of electricity and that of gas, the more quickly the investment will show a return. On a case-by-case basis, the payback time for such a system can be expected to run between two and five years. In a number of European countries, the economic efficiency of a CHP investment is further enhanced by stimulation programmes for highly efficient systems. In Germany, for example, a lower EEG surcharge and the CHP bonus is applied, the griduse fee can be suspended and/or the petroleum tax can be refunded.

Wike alleges governors of Bauchi, Benue, Kano and Plateau states paid N1bn each to fund election violence in the state's rerun election
Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, addressed a state broadcast yesterday night where he alleged that governors of Bauchi, Benue, Kano and Plateau States reportedly bankrolled donated one billion Naira each to fund the violence that characterized last Saturday's Legislative rerun election in the state.
"The brazen subversion of our democratic rights that took place on December 2016, was carefully planned and orchestrated by some highly-placed and desperate politicians from the State in concert with the Governors of Bauchi, Benue, Kano and Plateau States, who reportedly bankrolled the plan with the sum of one billion Naira each, at a time they cannot pay salaries of civil servants, let alone embark on development projects in their States.
If Rivers people could be visited with such a despicably high degree of violence, mayhem and killings by some renegade military and SARS operatives with impunity just to rescue the dying political fortunes of the All Peoples Congress in a mere legislative re-run elections, then we can now begin to imagine what is likely to happen in the State when the political stakes would be very much higher in 2019"he said

I'm SO excited – these little chocolate coin bags arrived in ahead of time for us to bring them to a large trade show in Vegas. They're freakin' ADORABLE! They were causing quite a stir at our expo, and it wouldn't surprise me if people will be asking for even more long after the event – they were that popular. We were able to draw more attention to the booth and had a much easier time engage people in conversations!
EXCELLENT! We ordered just over 1500 personalized milk chocolate coins for our school event. We had a pirate theme going on and the coins added the perfect little extra to the event. We used them to decorate the tables and to have something sweet for the attendees. The coins shipped within 3 days of placing the order and we received them after only 5 days. The coins looked great and the taste was delicious. The only problem was that people couldn't stop eating and the decoration was gone after just a few hours which goes to show how good they were. Thanks for the speedy turnaround and the delicious chocolate you make!

By Oregon Small Business Association
Earlier this week Google Inc. announced the amount of economic impact that Google had on each state in 2009. In Oregon, 28,500 advertisers and publishers benefitted to the tune of $510.5 million, either by placing their ads on Google or by placing Google advertisements on their site. And 80 non-profits benefitted with $1.3 million donated by the search giant.
Recently, for the first time, Google disclosed their revenue splits with search and content publishers. In a blog post on Monday, Google says it pays publishers 68% of the revenue Google collects from advertisers for content ads that appear on the publishers' sites. Google said it pays publishers 51% of revenue for search ads. Previously Google had been unresponsive in requests to reveal it's revenue splits.
The disclosure of advertisement splits comes at a time when publishers and regulators are demanding more transparency. Google has also been under fire in Italy in an antitrust suit, prompted by an Italian newspaper publishers' claiming that Google is abusing their dominance.
Google says that revenue splits for its AdSense service have not changed since the service was introduced in 2003. In comparison, the revenue splits are more generous than the 60% cut that Apple Inc. provides with the iAd advertisement service.
Some of Oregon's 80 nonprofit donation recipients include CCI Enterprises, Mercy Corps, National Psoriasis Foundation, and Organic Materials Review Institute. In comparison to Oregon's $512 million, Google's economic impact in Washington was $2.8 billion. Google employs more than 600 people in Washington.

Today those two men took part in their weigh in and both men made weight for the contest, coming in no heavier than 130lbs.
On the scales Ogawa was he heavier man, coming in just 100g under the limit, weighing around 129¾lbs for the contest. For Ogawa that that is consistent withhis recent weights and it's the third successive time he has come in at an identical weight, and continues his career trend of never being below 128lbs and never above 132lbs.
Sugita on the other hand was 200g's under the limit, coming in at 129½lbs, which is consistent with his weights from the last few years, following a move from Featherweight to Super Featherweight. Having moved up there is some doubt whether he is a fully fledged Featherweight, but he does look comfortable at 130lbs

text: Cozy room by Sika Design The story of our company begins in 1942, when Ankjær Andreasen produced the first batch of baskets, lamps, flower tables and other smaller interior items made of rush and willow. In the 1950´s, Ankjær expanded his production to include a series of furniture made from rattan, and the company Sika-Design was firmly established. The rattan was imported from the Far East, and Ankjær travelled there to purchase the rattan for his wicker makers in Denmark. During a trip in 1972, he was so impressed by the skilled wicker makers that he decided to establish a wicker furniture factory in Malaysia. Since then, the Far East has been essential to our production of furniture. Today, we manufacture our furniture in our own factory in Indonesia. Ankjær's son, Knud Andreasen, took over the company in 1983, however Ankjær continued his daily "inspections" until his death in 1997. On my 10th birthday, my father allowed me to attend a fair where Sika-Design was exhibiting a series of rattan furniture. On that day, I knew I wanted to be a part of his company, and my passion for rattan furniture began. Since 1996, my father and I have worked side by side bringing Sika-Design into the new century with great design, while never letting go of our strong heritage of great craftsmanship. Sika-Design respects human rights and complies with the SA8000 standard for social accountability, and we demand the same commitment from our suppliers. Products from Sika-Design are developed and marketed in accordance with our management system for environment and social responsibility ISO 14001/2004 and SA8000/2008. Certified by Bureau Veritas Certification. COZY ROOM COZY room is our new interior collection. With this collection we want to create the cosy and casual atmosphere that makes a house a home. Also, we want to create a stylish ambience with textures and subtle details inspired by nature to complement our rattan furniture collections. We have a particular focus on lanterns, which will make any décor cozy. Our lanterns can be used both indoors and outdoors, and when lit by candles, they create a very special atmosphere. We also include charming tableware, decorative flowerpots and vases as well as soft and beautiful textiles in our collections. As with our furniture, we take inspiration from nature's materials and colours and all items are handcrafted. The story of Sika-Design began with an interior collection in 1942, when Sika-Design's founder Ankjær Andreasen started an import of handcrafted Christmas decorations and baskets made from straw and wicker. Now we have returned to our roots with the new collection COZY room. Enjoy our catalogue and be inspired. LOUISE ANDREASEN 3rd generation, Sika-Design

The Chips full movie is based on the television series Chips which was aired in the 1970s. This TV series was not a big hit, but was popular because of its comedy and action. It is written and directed by Dax Shepard alongside Michael Pena. Creating an action comedy from an old TV series is a challenge, and these two people accepted this challenge. The TV series was on air during 1977 and it ran till 1983, and this movie is a remake of it. The main theme of the movie revolves around two motorcycle cops who are buddies.
A band of criminals once looted millions of dollars in California from an armored car, and also killed a police officer on the spot. The California highway patrol came into action and started its investigations and they came up with the conclusion that this crime was planned and supported by some dirty cops. To find out who planned the whole game, they ask the FBI for help. The FBI sends their intelligent and experienced Miami-based agent, Castillo (Michael Pena) to carry out secret investigation with the CHIPS. Castillo changes his identity and names himself as Frank Ponch, and starts working to find out about the five dirty cops so that he could bring them to justice for helping out the criminals.
In this chips full movie online free, Jon (Dax Shepard) is a former motorcyclist and he is coping with his failed marriage with his ex-wife. He suffered too many injuries during his motorcycling career, and now he has a battered body but still wants to win his ex-wife back. Jon Baker is also a drug addict and a junk-foodie. All this made him join CHP as a motorcycle cop in an attempt to impress his ex-wife. Jon then becomes Castillo's partner to investigate the robbery and they both started working together.
The film consists of good quality humor and the chemistry between these two cops is amazing. The contrasting personalities of these two men are the main reason why there is so much humor and comedy in this film. However, to achieve their goals and investigate about the criminals, they both need to keep their personal differences on the side and work together as a team. Jon is an explorer and he is a bit on the sensitive side, while Ponch is obsessed with women and he becomes hypnotized at the sight of beautiful and sexy women. At the start, Jon and Ponch don't get along too well with each other, and they often get on each others' nerves. But after some action-filled scenes and horrific episodes, they both soon became best buddies.
Watch CHIPS movie online
During the investigation task, Jon often used to complain about his knee issues, due to which he used to fall on the floor while running. Both the main characters are also found arguing often, for example they both used to argue about whether Ponch is a homophobe or not. Throughout the Chips full movie, Ponch also has to deal with his FBI boss who is always concerned about Ponch's performance and the colleague who always complains that Ponch deliberately shoots him.
Dax Shepard's love for motorcycle can clearly be seen in the movie as gleaming motorcycles have been frequently shown and expert stunt driving scenes are also included in the film. Shepard's trademark comedy style is also evident in the Chips full movie. Shepard has tried to give something new to the viewers and he has tried to make the movie unique from the start to the end.
The relationship between Jon and Ponch is the main theme, and the actors perfectly match to their characters. However, most of the critics are of the view that both the main characters couldn't fully portray the 'best-buddy' type of relationship, and that they don't look like an inseparable team. According to the critics, the two couldn't match well with each other, and this came as a surprise because there were more expectations from the film.
Vincent D' Onofrio is given very small screen time as a villain, and his role has been completely wasted. Female characters aren't given much screen time either, and most of the women pictured in the Chips full movie are the ones that are being stared by Ponch. The action of this movie is considered very successful because the stunts performed on motorcycles are just amazing. The good thing is that Shepard has performed most of the riding stunts himself, such as driving down a staircase and wheelies.
Chips full movie could have been better than this, as much is left to be satisfied.
The script could have been better and more attention could be paid to detail. Most of the viewers of the series might wonder whether they should watch the movie, since the movie is based on the old TV show. They should rest assured that this movie is different from the TV series in may aspects. According to the critics, Chips full movie has been stretched a lot, and that it wasn't meant to be for two hours.
The movie includes lots of violence and breath-taking stunts, and if you are an action lover, you won't feel bored watching it. The inexperienced rookie and a skillful pro team together to detect and investigate about the multi-million-dollar robbery, and the whole film revolves around the task of these two motorcycle cops. These two cops have to work together and reach the dirty cops and bring them to justice. For this they should have a good chemistry between them. The movie tries to show good friendship and understanding between the two cops later on in the movie, but unfortunately it couldn't be portrayed accurately.
If you don't get bored by action movies, then this movie will not waste your time. Watch CHIPS 2017 free online. However, most of the Chips full movie reviews suggest that it has a weak script, and there are many things that could have been given more attention.

Eight Simple Recipes to help you Whip Up a Thanksgiving Dinner OutdoorsNovember 13, 2015
Filed in get-together, Outdoor Party Planning, Thanksgiving recipes
Thanksgiving is a time to gather up family and friends to feast on delicious comfort foods.
We know that a traditional Thanksgiving dinner is eaten around the family dining room INSIDE with lots of traditional Thanksgiving recipes that call for lots of fancy kitchen utensils and pots and pans.
Well we HOEJOE lovers say, let's break from the traditionally "stuffy" indoor affair and BUST out the BONFIRE TOOLs to create a wonderful outdoor affair.
And really, the ORIGINAL Thanksgiving Feast was, after all..OUTDOORS! So I guess you could say, we're kicking it old style!
Not only will the affair be casual and cozy in an outdoor setting, when it comes to cooking outdoors we're gonna keep it simple!
And if you check out the eight simple Thanksgiving dinner recipes found below, you'll know that simple, means SIMPLY DELICIOUS
Classic Turkey Stuffing
If you're going to have turkey for Thanksgiving, it has to have stuffing. Otherwise, you're going to end up serving a bland bird. The classic turkey stuffing doesn't require a lot of tools, though, so you shouldn't have problems making that on your RV stove or over your campfire.
Prep and cooking time: 45 minutes
Good for a 12-14 lbs turkey
- 1. In a large frying pan or skillet, fry the bacon until it is brown and crispy. Remove from the pan without draining the bacon drippings. Crumble into small chunks and set aside.
- 2. Melt the butter into the bacon drippings.
- 3. Once the butter has melted, add the onions, garlic and celery and sauté gently until the vegetables are tender.
- 4. Put half of the bread cubes in the pan and stir until the cubes are coated and the butter and drippings completely absorbed.
- 5. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chicken broth. Stir until completely combined.
- 6. Gradually stir the chicken broth into the mix until you have achieved the level of moistness you want in your stuffing. Don't put in too much broth, or else the stuffing will be soggy.
- 7. Stuff the stuffing into the turkey and cook it immediately.
Thanksgiving Campfire Turkey
You don't have an oven in your RV but you have a good fire pit at your campsite? No worries, then – just have cheesecloth, aluminum foil and lots of coal and you can have roasted turkey for Thanksgiving.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 3 hours (or one hour for every 4 lbs of turkey; adjust accordingly)
Yields 8-10 servings
- 1. Prepare your fire pit. Dump enough coals to fill the fire pit in your campfire. Make sure the pit is big enough for your bird, with an inch or two of breathing space.
- 2. Clean your turkey.
- 3. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper thoroughly. Rub this seasoning mix on the turkey.
- 4. Rub the turkey's skin with oil until its outside is completely coated.
- 5. Stuff the bird with your pre-cooked turkey stuffing.
- 6. Wrap the bird in cheesecloth, and then with three or four layers of aluminum foil.
- 7. Line the bottom of your fire pit two inches with coal. Make sure you fill the entire bottom.
- 8. Place the bird atop the coals, then dump the rest of the coals over the turkey until the bird is completely covered.
Spam Thanksgiving Dinner
So let's say you can't cook turkey at your campsite. Do you really have to have turkey for Thanksgiving? If you're not so particular with what you're going to feast on why not have Spam and other conveniently canned goodies cooked over the grill?
Prep and cooking time: 1 hour
Yields 3-4 servings
- 1. Prepare your campfire and put a campfire grill over it.
- 2. Cut the potatoes in half and slather the cut sides with butter. Wrap the potatoes in foil and put them on the grill. Cook until tender, turning the foiled packet every two minutes to keep from burning.
- 3. In a bowl, coat the cubed yams or sweet potatoes in sugar. Then wrap them in foil and put them on the grill. Cook until tender, turning the foiled packet every two minutes to keep from burning.
- 4. Shuck the corn and put them on the grill. Cook until slightly charred.
- 5. Cut the spam and the ham into neat slices. Coat these slices in oil and grill them until each side has nice grill marks.
- 6. Prepare the packaged stuffing, cranberry sauce and turkey gravy according to instructions.
Blanched Greens Salad with Lemon and Honey Dressing
The turkey may be the star of your Thanksgiving show, but the side dishes give your feast more depth and character. And every feast must have a salad among the side dishes to balance it out and give it a nutritious punch. This blanched greens salad is just the thing for this purpose.
Prep and cooking time: 15 minutes
Yields 3-4 servings
- 1. Boil slightly salted water in a pot.
- 2. While waiting for the water to boil, whisk together the lemon juice and the honey in a bowl.
- 3. Once the water begins boiling, blanch the veggies in the water for no more than one minute. Drain well.
- 4. Put your blanched veggies in the bowl with the lemon juice and honey.
- 5. Zest the orange over the veggies.
- 6. Toss all the ingredients together and serve.
Campfire Roasted Yams and Apples
It is common to find a dish of roasted yams and apples among the dishes served during Thanksgiving dinner. After all, yams and apples would be in season. This usually requires the use of an oven, but who says you can't have roasted yams and apples when you've got a good campfire?
Prep and cook time: 1 1/2 hours
Yields 3-4 servings
- 1. Dump coals in your campfire.
- 2. Wrap the yam in foil and cook in the campfire for an hour or until tender. Set aside and allow to cool. Peel the yam and cut into cubes once cooled.
- 3. In a sauce pan, mix the sugar, cornstarch and the cloves or allspice. Once combined, gradually add the orange juice.
- 4. Add the rest of the ingredients in the pan and cook for 20 minutes or until the apples are tender.
Dutch Oven Apple Crisps
If you have a dutch oven, you can have sweet apples crisped with oats and smelling heavenly with cinnamon.
Prep and cooking time: 1 hour
Yields 3-4 servings
- 1. In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon until fully combined.
- 2. Add the butter into the mixture.
- 3. Put your apple slices in your dutch oven.
- 4. Spread the mixture evenly over the apple slices.
- 5. Cook over the campfire for 45 minutes or until the apple slices are tender.
Campfire Pumpkin Pie
Many Thanksgiving dinner tables are not complete without pumpkin pie. If you want to have pumpkin pie while camping out for Thanksgiving, there's no reason why you can't. You just need a pie iron or dutch oven and you have to do your prep before you set out for your camping trip.
Prep time (at home): 2 hours
Prep time (at campsite): 30 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes (if using pie iron); 25 minutes (if using dutch oven)
Yields 8 servings
Ingredients for the crust:
Ingredients for the filling
Instructions for prep time at home:
- 1. Prepare your pie crust according to your favorite pie crust recipe or use a recipe like Martha Stewart's. Keep your pie crust in the freezer and pack it in your cooler when you go on your camping trip.
- 2. You can also puree your pumpkin beforehand using these methods, keep it in the freezer, and then pack it in your cooler when you leave for your camping trip. You can also puree your pumpkin at the campsite.
Instructions for cooking at the campsite:
- 1. Puree your pumpkin if you haven't done it at home. Clean the outside of the pumpkin, cut it in half, and remove its seeds and stringy insides. Steam or boil your pumpkin until the flesh is soft, then set aside to cool. Once cooled, scoop the flesh out of your pumpkin and then mash the flesh by hand using a fork.
- 2. Prepare your pie crust. If you're using a pie iron, cut your pie crust into two squares that can fit the pie iron and grease your pie crust with butter. Use these squares to line your pie iron. If you're using a dutch oven, grease the bottom and sides of the dutch oven with butter and then place the bottom pie crust inside.
- 3. Mix all the ingredients for the filling thoroughly in a bowl. Once completely combined, pour the mixture into the bottom pie crust.
- 4. Cover the filling with the top crust of the pie. Glaze the top crust lightly with egg whites.
- 5. Place the pie iron or dutch oven on your campfire and cover the lid with coals. The pie should be ready in 15 minutes in the pie iron or 25 minutes in the dutch oven.
Campfire Orange Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls can be a decadent treat. Now, cinnamon rolls baked over the campfire – that's something truly special. And we've all got to have special things to eat for a camping Thanksgiving dinner.
Prep and cooking time: 30 minutes
Yields 4 servings
- 2 large oranges
- 4 cans Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Roll with Cream Cheese Icing
- 1. Cut the oranges in half and scoop out the flesh. You only need the orange shells.
- 2. Fill each orange half-shell with the cinnamon roll.
- 3. Place the filled half-shells on a baking pan and cover with foil.
- 4. Place the baking pan on the campfire or grill and bake for 20 minutes or until the rolls rise.
- 5. Allow the rolls to cool and then top with the icing.
Happy Thanksgiving! And remember to use your HoeJoe, the bonfire maintenance tool, to manage your fire while you tend to your turkey. Or if you are going to be a gues at an outdoor feast, bring a HoeJoe as a host/hostess gift. Especially since right now we have BOGO SPECIAL going on so you can buy one for yourself and one as a gift just in time to work your magic during the holiday season!

Writes Goldberg:
How brave it is to stand athwart the Jews and yell "Stop!" We are a dangerous group of people. Just look at what has happened to other critics who have gone where angels fear to tread and criticized Israel. Take, for example, Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, the authors of "The Israel Lobby." Walt, as many of you know, is in hiding in Holland, under round-the-clock protection of the Dutch police, after the chief rabbi of Wellesley, Mass., issued a fatwa calling for his assassination. Mearsheimer, of course, lost his job at the University of Chicago and was physically assaulted by a group of Hadassah ladies in what became known as the "Grapefruit Spoon Attack of 2009." Now he teaches political science at a community college in Hayden Lake, Idaho, under police guard. And Michael Scheuer, the former CIA man who argues that American Jews are traitors to their country, was recently burned in effigy during a riot led by a cell of Reconstructionist rabbis. All across this country, assaults by Jews on their critics are on the rise. It's gotten so bad you can't even publish a mildly anti-Semitic cartoon without having your office sacked by gangs of extremists from the North American Federation of Temple Youth. It's tough out there for brave truth-tellers these days.These brave souls can be identified by their sprained elbow--caused by excessively patting themselves on the back for their courage in being the sole person with the guts to say these sorts of things out loud.
Technorati Tag: Israel Lobby.

Java is pass by value which means when we call a method with an argument as a reference variable then this passed reference variable is actually a copy of the real declared variable. for example -
Dog dog = new Dog (); nameDog(dog);
in above example, the dog passed inside nameDog() method is actually a copy of dog reference variable used to declare the actual object. But the catch here is this, that if we want to make any change in the Dog object from inside the nameDog() function using argument 'dog' variable that change will change the state of actual Object because both the reference variables refer o the same Dog object . But this is not the case with premitive, and now you can figure it out why.

Jesse Ventura Tells AFP He Won't Back Off Publicizing 9-11 Views
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/j ... p_218.html
By Mark Anderson
On April 9, this editor for AMERICAN FREE PRESS had the opportunity to speak directly with famed ex-professional wrestler, author and former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura in order to discuss a host of subjects, including censorship of his column on the Sept. 11 attacks and his provocative conspiracy show, which airs on cable television.
Ventura confirmed that his TRU-TV cable series on major conspiracies, which some assumed had been canned after its first installment concluded early this year, is alive and well. A new season with 10 episodes will hit the airwaves in the fall of 2010, he said.
While the former Navy Seal who became a high-profile independent Minnesota governor would love to specify the 10 topics, he was not yet fully at liberty to reveal what they are, though he did say one is about the shooting of John F. Kennedy. "Initially there were seven episodes; now they're ordering 10 more," he stated in an upbeat manner, while noting that some decisions still have to be made on what will air and in what order.
"We have 20 conspiracies that we'll have to pare down to 10. I'll have to battle with the network, but in the end we'll settle on 10 of them. They promised JFK. There is no pecking order at all."
The straight-talking Ventura had just finished filling in for CNN's Larry King Live as a guest host when he spoke with this AFP writer. Notably, Ventura had Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) as one of the guests on the show the evening of April 9. Another was "defrocked" former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich who, despite harboring more liberal views than Paul, concurred with the Texas congressman on several matters, particularly Paul's insistence that the United States end its interventionist foreign policy that is a factor in bankrupting the nation.
Ventura, though he appeared on an establishment media show, remarked without hesitation that America's constant wars continue because certain connected people get rich from them.
Ventura may be famous for having been a wrestler, but his brawn is complemented by brains and a tough-mindedness often missing in political and journalistic discourse these days.
One of the main issues he wrestles with now is resistance to his frank discussion of the conventional story of what really happened on 9-11-2001. Recently, The Huffington Post Internet news site quickly took down a column Ventura had posted there that questioned the government's 9-11 story. Ventura's column mentioned San Francisco architect Richard Gage, whose group, Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth, has grown to more than 1,100 architects, engineers and other technical experts who have presented considerable evidence to challenge conventional 9-11 "wisdom."
Ventura minces no words when it comes to 9-11, which is the touchy topic that likely is the main factor keeping corporate news organs from reviewing a book on conspiracies written by a man who commands the attention of a large cross-section of Americans, including young activists.
Ventura was well received by thousands of young activists at Paul's huge
counter-convention for renegade Republicans and independents in Minneapolis in September 2008, held at the same time as the establishment Republican National Convention nearby in St. Paul. This AFP writer first met Ventura there and shot a video interview of him, discussing ballot-access laws and other hurdles that make it hard for independent and "third party" candidates to get elected to office and make needed changes.
In 2004, Ventura found himself informing young Americans by conducting a class on third-party politics as a guest teacher at Harvard University, where he attracted a record turnout of 300 students in the lecture hall.
While recalling that The Huffington Post pulled his 9-11 article only one hour after it was posted—much faster than the 24 hours some readers assumed—Ventura indicated he will not drop the 9-11 issue.
Ventura agreed with this writer's observation that pure logic demands that we question how airplane impacts and jet fuel fires alone could destroy both 110- story towers (the government theory).
"How could [the twin towers] be pulverized into powder [by a fire]?" he said. "[The destruction of the towers] threw steel girders 500 feet."
He recalled the irony of Arianna Huffington bugging him for a long time to post his articles on her Internet site, only to mistreat him later.
"She was on my case for two years," he said. He remarked that while the policy of the Post is, "they don't do conspiracy theories," the Post will not hesitate to run articles on other conspiracy theories, including the government's conspiracy theory on Osama bin Laden's alleged deep involvement in masterminding 9-11. Ventura's one other column submitted
to the Post, about the Obama administration's war on drugs, was posted without a problem. But Ventura will not write for the Post ever again.
Meanwhile, he is chagrined that his latest book, American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies and More Lies That the Government Tells Us, has been on the New York Times Bestsellers' List for more than four weeks at the time of this interview, but that the Times and other major media seem indifferent to providing more publicity.
"Nobody in the mainstream press has reviewed my book," he said. "I brought that up on Larry King Live tonight. I get the feeling it could be another two months in the top 10—and it still won't get reviewed."
Ventura also told AFP that the BBC denied his recent request for legal permission to use well-known news footage on his TRU-TV series that shows a BBC reporter reporting that World Trade Center Building 7—the third building to crumble that day, though it was not hit by a plane—had already fallen, when, at the time she reported it, the building had not fallen yet and was clearly visible in the background, along the Manhattan skyline.
"All we wanted to do was ask the reporter, 'Who told you that building had collapsed?' " Ventura said. "She got done with the broadcast at 5 p.m., and the building did not collapse until around 5:20."

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Romanian-born Lea Lexis will continue to star in John Stagliano's hardcore vampire series "Voracious," but has added a new title to her credit: producer.
Lexis played a key role in production, directing and costume and special effects design for seasons two and three, Stagliano said.
"She is an ambitious person who wants to do more things and she's quite capable," he told XCritic.
A former nationally ranked gymnast, Lexis will lend her unique skill set to the project, including an aerial silks performance that transitions into a girl/girl scene with Digital Playground darling Stoya.
"It's been such an honor and a pleasure to work alongside John Stagliano throughout the production of 'Voracious,'" Lexis said. "I'm so thrilled to help produce seasons two and three. We have a lot planned for these films and I know they're going to blow audiences away."
The next two seasons of "Voracious" are currently in production and Stagliano projects they will be released in early 2014.

Starting a job once you're out of school can take a while, and be a rigorous process..
So, Project Search is a program in our community aiming to help people with disabilities get their foot in the door, and start their professions.
These 12 students are part of the Project Search program at Mercy Health in Rockford.
"This is really their last opportunity to get the experience and skills necessary for employment and independent living." said instructor, Nathan Loft.
It's designed for students with disabilities, and gives them school to work transition skills through an internship. An opportunity they wouldn't necessarily have otherwise.
"Definitely a stigma. especially with hiring people with disabilities." said Loft.
And while the end goal is for all 12 students to leave the program with a full time job, being the one to teach these kids is the dream job Nathan Loft always wanted.
"Working in the school system, I knew this was what would drive change for people with disabilities." said Loft.
The program is only in its first year, but it's something the students involved say is life changing.
"Be working somewhere with not a lot of help to help me, not a lot of support, probably struggling a little bit." said one intern, Will Close.
"I love project search because it will help you get more experience with the people that you work with." said another intern, Amelia Dahl.
While he teaches and molds them to become full-time working adults in society...
"He inspires me to work harder, improve my job skills and learn new things. " said Close.
"He gets to help us like if we're having a really rough day, or you just need a break you can go up to him and say you're taking a break or something like that." said Dahl.
The students are also teaching him.
"My interns, students really inspire me to be a better human being." said Loft.

"People with disabilities, whatever you think, there's different stereotypes but they are just people." said Loft.
One intern, at a time.

ESSENTIALS OF LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY TRAINING – Condensed version
KTP can offer a condensed version of this training at your location. Call KTP to discuss whether this "mini-version" of our Annual "Essentials of Legislative Advocacy" course would work for your group.
The two basic goals of this training are:
You do not need to be an expert on politics, the legislative process or the budget. YOU ARE ALREADY AN EXPERT based on your experience: person in recovery, family member, friend or provider.
Each of us has different skill sets, assets or talents to contribute to advocacy — public speaking, writing, making phone calls, supporting, or drawing. They are all part of a successful advocacy campaign.
Please contact KTP for assistance with scheduling a Legislative Breakfast, Candidate Forum (during election season) or other local event or scheduling a meeting with your legislator in the district. These events & meetings should take place in the district before the legislative session begins (and sometimes can be done in Hartford at the LOB after the session begins).
KTP can support you by providing blue ribbon pins, fact sheets, and assistance with planning, implementation, or scheduling meetings, etc. Please call today!
In general, a legislative breakfast or event should:
- Be no more than 1 hour.
- Be in the legislators' home area BEFORE the session starts if possible – otherwise you may want to consider holding an evening meeting with simple hors d'oeuvres or dessert for example – whenever people can attend.
- Be hosted at the L.O.B. AFTER the session starts (it is hard for them to make something in their home towns once the session starts).
- Be hosted in an easily accessibly area such as a local social club/clubhouse, a Regional Mental Health Board conference room.
- Include invitations to all the Senators and Representatives in several surrounding towns that your organization or group serves (if you invite 12 people, commonly some will not be able to attend).
- Invite legislators and community stakeholders 3-4 weeks in advance of the event with a deadline for the RSVP's.
- Be sure to follow-up with friendly phone calls to legislators and community members you haven't heard from approximately 1 week before the event.
- Serve simple breakfast items such as coffee, tea, juice, bagels, muffins, or pastries.
- Be a COLLABORATIVE EFFORT between an agency program, such as a clubhouse, the Regional Mental Health Board, etc.
- Be creative! (Displaying clubhouse members' art, for example, can be a great way to initiate conversation).
- Focus on a couple of key issues (such as funding Supportive Housing and specific Community Services) you know will be important in the upcoming Legislative Session.
- Be less formal with a small group (everyone might have time to go around and briefly introduce themselves and very briefly state their issues with the mental health system such as supportive housing needs or successes). Be more structured for a larger group (have a couple key people highlight 2 or 3 important issues for your group).
- Have an "ask" – a statement regarding your hope for their specific support or legislation. For example, you could ask the legislators to support funding 650 new units of Supportive Housing.
- Allow time for the legislator(s) to respond to the issues that have been outlined for them.
- Take pictures! Get your event published in a local/weekly newspaper! You can include photos and/or an article.
- Always thank your legislators for attending. Send them a thank you note and reinforce your issues and/or "asks".
KTP can lend support by answering questions, providing collaborative leads such as Regional Mental Health Board contacts, youth based groups, etc., providing fact sheets (Supportive Housing, Alternatives to Incarceration, Young Adult Services) and annual KTP legislative priorities.
Please call KTP at (860) 788-6180 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, with any questions or for support. Schedule breakfasts and meetings with your legislators TODAY! These meetings are an important and effective way to let your legislators know how they can affect change both locally and statewide!

'Old-style' Army meeting a hit with seniors
'Old-style' Army meeting a hit with seniors
Singing hymns accompanied by a brass band doesn't sound very progressive, but an emerging faith community in southern Sydney is engaging with new Christians and those who have left the Army by offering love and community, "old-style".
The Wednesday Community at Menai Salvation Army is a monthly meeting, followed by a lunch. It began out of a desire to take seniors in the area, who were attending a fortnightly seniors group at the corps, deeper with God.
Organiser, retired Salvation Army Major David Woodbury, who started the group with his wife earlier this year, says it has also provided much-needed fellowship for older members of Salvation Army congregations who are feeling like "spiritual refugees" due to recent changes at various corps.
"The Army is changing dramatically and [some, older] people are saying, 'What was that all about? Did it really mean anything, what I did? Where's my place in today's Army?'
"Some of them weren't worshipping anywhere and I felt that these are people who had spent their whole lives as Salvationists and here, maybe, was an opportunity. We could give them something that they're used to, without necessarily going back to the old way of doing things."
Each month features a guest speaker who tells a personal story about how Jesus has impacted their lives, like regular Wednesday Community attendee Dorothy Small, who shared how the love of Jesus brought her and her family through the most traumatic event of their lives – the murder of her daughter in the 1980s.
The meeting also includes a short sermon designed to encourage people to act on what God is saying to them.
For some who attend, The Wednesday Community has become their church. "We live next door and we sort of don't attend the church services," says Claire Carter who attend with her husband, Don. "But [this] is lovely. We really enjoy it. The fellowship, the people, interesting speakers."
Another Wednesday Community member, Pauline, lives alone in a retirement village and was invited to attend during a meeting with Major Woodbury when he was collecting at a local shopping centre. "I've been here three times and I really enjoy coming and I enjoy listening to the Bible stuff and that. The people as well, they are so friendly, I really enjoy their company."
Major Woodbury says many psychologists are estimating that loneliness will overtake obesity as Australia's number-one health issue in the future. He says while many Salvation Army corps focus on families, The Wednesday Community appeals to older generations who often feel neglected and find it difficult to engage with the changing style of music and sermons.
"It is an emerging church in a different style. People are looking for community," he said. "A lot of these people here live on their own and this is a connection for them, this is a community for them. I feel that it's like 'giving a cup of cold water in My name', it's a spiritual thing, that we're doing something for people at the pointy end of life."

While most species of giraffes are not endangered, some species such as the West African And/or Nigerian Giraffe are endangered due to the fact that human poachers often hunt them for their skins, meat, fur and tails. Unfortunately these creature's tails are often made into good luck bracelets.
Other reasons for certain species of giraffes becoming endangered include loss of habitat, slow rate of breeding, and increasing change in climate. Drought and flooding are two examples among these changes in climate affecting these endangered species of giraffes. Giraffes are widespread throughout Africa and their population totals more than 100,000. Sadly, there are now less than 200 West African Giraffes in existence today, and fewer than 2,500 Ugandan Giraffes.

Wildcats girls soccer team defeats Putnam 1-0
The Wilsonville girls soccer team played a control based game on Thursday, Sept. 28 against the Putnam Kingsmen and it paid off. The Wildcats won their league opener one goal to zero.
The game started off with Wilsonville pressuring the Putnam goal. Not even two minutes into the game, junior Marri McCallum passed the ball back out of the Putnam goalies box to sophomore Camryn Pettenger-Willey who took a shot only to have it go over the cross bar by the smallest of margins. A minute later, junior Alexis Leon-Guerrero would send a thundering volley just left of the goal. This was the theme for the first forty minutes, with several other Wildcats players taking their own chances on goal, including sophomore Araxi Tejeda-Martinez in the 27th minute. Three minutes later Tejeda-Martinez would pass the ball off to junior forward Teagan McNamee who would have her shot deflected out by the Putnam goalkeeper.
Another key to the Wildcats success was their back line, which stood resolute in the face of the Putnam offensive.
"Putnam wasn't able to find the furthest attacker, and we were able to take away half the field. Brilliant execution by the defense what we put in in training," head coach Dwight Sheppick said about his defense.
In the second half, Wilsonville's offense finally clicked. Wilsonville's Pettenger-Willey made her way up the left side of the field, and passed a brilliant through-ball to forward Teagan McNamee who sent the ball into the net on the far post in the 25th minute.
"First, I was just taking the ball up, and I've been trying to challenge (the defender) one v one, and I wanted to take that up more and try to attack, and I challenged her and I think I faked her out, and Teagan made a really great run to the side, and I just hit it right there," Pettenger-Willey said.
"It was really nice, and we talked at half time, 'We're getting a goal,' and they kept saying, 'Teags you're getting a goal,' and then Camryn played me a great ball, and we got one," McNamee said. "The team was ready for another one and it'll happen next time."
In the 15 seconds after kick off, Wilsonville would nearly score again, forcing the Putnam goalkeeper to run out and make a diving save. Five minutes later, Wilsonville freshman defender Keira McNamee would send a beautiful free kick into the box only to have it tipped up and over the crossbar.
Sheppick praised how the team played after the game.
"We came out with a ton of aggression like we always do, we just kept hammering and hammering. Considering the preseason we've had, it's been difficult to get that kind of attack, but the execution to get there was brilliant. That's something we can build and improve on, and it was just nice to see," Sheppick said.
It was not a perfect night for the Wildcats however. In a scary moment, Leon-Guerrero hit the turf hard at the 11:36 mark, and had to be escorted off of the pitch. She suffered a broken collarbone and will likely be out for the rest of the season.
Wilsonville (1-0 in league, 2-3-1 overall) next plays La Salle Prep (1-0 in league, 1-5-1 overall) Tuesday, Oct. 3 at home.

One of Atlanta\'s best-kept secrets
The neighborhood I live in now on the west side of Atlanta has a lot of great features: proximity to Midtown, ease of access (via Marietta St.) to Downtown, old-fashioned charm (green yards, gardens, old trees, and parks), and a good mix of people living in it. Some of the houses (and their residents) are in poor condition, and some are being improved by young professionals as I write this. It's great for running and riding a bike, and many of the houses have great porches for sitting and drinking sweet tea (or beer). But there must be a large number of similar neighborhoods around this city. The advantage mine has over those is Carver's Country Kitchen.
Carver's is right by the front of the neighborhood, so it's just about 5 minutes by foot from my house. It's run by Robert and Sharon Carver—Sharon serving the food and Robert at the cash register. It's only open from 11am to 3pm, Tuesday through Friday, but during this time there's almost always a line out the door of people hungry for some of the best Southern food in Atlanta. My culinary skills leave something to be desired, so all I know about their cooking is that there must be magic involved.
There are two drink choices, as far as I know: lemonade and sweet tea. There are several meat options, the pot roast beef being the most irresistible, and lots of great vegetables, so even vegetarians can be satisfied. Also each meal comes with a biscuit or cornbread; I recommend the biscuit, but really you can't go wrong at Carver's even if you try. The walls are covered with signs, posters, and pithy phrases. Diners squeeze into a handful of tables, right next to other diners they don't know once it really gets crowded. Instead of napkins each table has a roll of paper towels, and each table is also stocked with a pitcher of sweet tea for refills.
I warn you: Carver's is not the place to eat if you're on a diet. But if you're celebrating life with every calorie, high-tail it down there. The Carvers are friendly as hell, and their food is good enough that they make their living being open only 16 hours a week.
The address is 1118 West Marietta St. If you're anywhere near Atlanta do yourself a favor and drop in. With a little prior notice I might join you.
I'm living about 5 minutes
I'm living about 5 minutes from there (where 75 meets Northside Dr.). I'll have to check it out.

Sound good, but when I'm in town during lunch I'm pretty much always at Kool Korners (14th and State) for the best Cuban sandwich north of Miami.
I'll second Kool
I'll second Kool Korners...glad to hear they're still in business. I really miss that place (been gone for 6 years now).
I've never eaten at Carver's, but I will make a point to check it out next time I visit.
I miss Carver's like you
I miss Carver's like you miss the Mennonite Restaurant.
Carver's is great. When I
Carver's is great. When I worked at Georgia Tech my coworkers took me there a few times. My current workplace is in Midtown, close enough to rendevous for lunch someday. It might be fun to meet some of the other local anarcho-capitalists; there must be at least three of us in town. :)
FYI, they have canned cokes available as well.

With the primary cast remaining the same, a fun subplot setting up and an emotional component that is Henry's past, 'Eat, Drink and Be Buried' is a fantastic telefilm. For those who love a good mystery, you won't want to miss this latest installment – plus for the romantics among us, the ending is fulfilling and cute, aka flirty bliss.
'Eat, Drink and Be Buried' airs TONIGHT on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries!
