Preventing Identity Theft at a Summer Car Crash
By Juliette Fairley
NEW YORK ( MainStreet)--Nearly 9 million consumers have their identities stolen each year, which disrupts finances, damages credit histories and reputations, according to the Federal Trade Commission. One way unsuspecting way that identity theft can occur is during a car accident.
A National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) survey found that many Americans put their identities and safety at risk by sharing too much personal information after a car accident.
"The last thing you're probably thinking about following a car accident is protecting your privacy," says NAIC President and Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin M. McCarty. "Understanding what information to share will help keep you safe after an accident and decrease some of the challenges of filing a claim later."
Consumers generally need only share their names, correct vehicle insurance information and the phone numbers of insurance providers . Sharing additional personal information, such as driver's license numbers and home addresses, puts consumers, their property and safety at risk.
"A car crash can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frightened and vulnerable," Insurance Commissioner Michael Consedine said. "Even if the crash appears to be minor, consumers need to document what happened and contact their insurance company to start the claims process."
A mobile app for iPhone and Android smartphones called WreckCheck enables consumers to complete an accident report to be emailed to themselves and their insurance agents.
The NAIC survey revealed consumers are unsure as to when to call the police or what personal information to exchange with the other driver after an accident. Below are five tips on how to prevent identity theft during a car accident:
- Nearly 40% of respondents felt they should share their driver's licenses while one in six said they would allow the other driver to photograph their licenses as a convenient way to exchange information. The risk, however, is that many retailers accept driver's license information as a common way to verify identity over the phone.
- Some 25% of consumers would share their home addresses but sharing this information gives identity thieves the physical location of one's mail or garbage, which often is where they look for personal or financial information about their victims. It also means they know where their victim lives, putting his or her personal safety in jeopardy.
- Almost 30% of drivers think they are required to share their personal phone numbers. In fact, sharing personal phone numbers is not necessary.
- Close to 20% of people believe the only reason to call the police after an accident is if someone is injured. However, filing a police report can help facilitate the insurance claims process.

Chamber Music of Missy Mazzoli and Sarah Kirkland SniderPosted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, tags: concert announcements, galapagos art space, Manhattan new music project, missy mazzoli, mnmp, mnmp presents, new am, new amsterdam records, sarah kirkland snider
Missy Mazzoli & Sarah Kirkland Snider
Tuesday, October 5th @ 8:00pm
Galapagos Art Space, 16 Main Street, Brooklyn, NY
Tickets $15
New Amsterdam Records and Manhattan New Music Project are proud to co-present a double-feature performance of the music of composers Missy Mazzoli and Sarah Kirkland Snider. The concert will take place at Galapagos Art Space on October 5 and will feature members of ACME, Janus trio, MIVOS Quartet and MaNi. The music, which will be performed by varying-sized combinations of brass, strings, woodwinds, percussion, and female vocals, will feature three New York City premieres, including Snider's "Shiner" and "The Reserved, The Reticent" – a solo cello piece to be performed by Clarice Jensen of ACME – as well as Mazzoli's "Death Valley Junction" – a string quartet to be performed by the MIVOS Quartet.
Snider and Mazzoli have already proven themselves luminaries of the New York music scene and beyond. Mazzoli, hailed as one of the "most consistently inventive and surprising composers now working in New York" by the New York Times, has garnered attention as bandleader of the electro-chamber outfit Victoire as well as for her chamber compositions, which have been performed by the Kronos Quartet, eighth blackbird, and the Minnesota Orchestra. Snider, also a composer of ambitious and ethereal chamber music, has been noted to possess "an enviable knack for crafting moody, strikingly beautiful works" (Time Out New York). Her latest work, Penelope, is an hourlong, epic song cycle written for vocalist Shara Worden of indie band My Brightest Diamond and chamber orchestra Signal. With Mazzoli releasing a full-length Victoire album in September and Snider releasing a studio recording of Penelope in October, the concert will present a collection of recent chamber works from neither album which promise to further reveal the breadth of these composers' formidable abilities.
Of her compositions, Mazzoli says, "like most of my music, these pieces are really about transporting the listener to a dreamy and unfamiliar but very specific place." Snider's pieces inhabit a similar realm of lush but uneasy beauty, a world she perfected in her large-scale opus Penelope. But unlike the latter work, these shorter pieces are more "classically inspired" in nature, containing fewer of the pop music and songwriting references evident in much of her latest work.
This performance program is made possible with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

Pixel Qi, the company behind innovative screen technology used on OLPC laptops and known for ultra low power consumption, has announced that it, along with Display Solutions company, has developed a way to use its display tech in embedded applications. The companies have demonstrated a 10.1" Pixel Qi display with a special USB driver that only consumes 1.5W.
"We are pleased that Display Solutions has adopted our low-power, use-anywhere screens in a way that will enable many new applications and device types," said Mary Lou Jepsen, chief executive officer and founder of Pixel Qi.
In order to make the Pixel Qi display technology available for the embedded market and for developers and individual users, Display Solution AG adapted Pixel Qi screen to its latest display driver board generation (d.screen-Hybrid) which supports USB /Wireless-USB (based on DisplayLink technology) as well as Ethernet (10/100/1000Mb) connected displays. As a result, the two companies announced this week a sunlight readable USB-connected display system solution with a total power consumption of 1.5W. All of the power is delivered from USB, no battery or power adaptor is needed.
The Pixel Qi screen used is an innovative 10.1" TFT LCD with LED backlight which supports 1024x600 mode and can display 262K colors in the transmissive mode. The screen also uses any roomlight or sunlight available to support two low power modes: a transflective mode where the backlight stays and any roomlight adds to the screen brightness, and a pure reflective mode that is black and white (with 64 grayscales) which is bright and clear even in direct sunlight. This technology enables subpixel rendering, standard now with most operating systems, and higher actual (native) resolution (3072x600) for very crisp text.
"Our working with Pixel Qi screens is enabling an important step forward in low-power systems – and we believe these will find great use in many fields where portable screens are needed," said Norbert Feuchtgruber, chief executive officer of Display Solution AG.

About the Author: Tina Huang serves in the Office of Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
Daniel M. Kammen is one of three Senior Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) Fellows named by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on April 15, 2010, at the Energy and Climate Ministerial of the Americas in Washington. The Senior ECPA Fellows program is part of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas, which was announced by President Barack Obama in 2009. ECPA convene Western Hemisphere nations together to share and find scientific, technical, and policy avenues to produce and use energy, and cooperate on climate change.
Dr. Kammen is a coordinating lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. He brings a wealth of expertise to the U.S.-Latin American dialogue on clean and renewable energy. Dr. Kammen is currently the Class of 1935 Distinguished Professor in UC Berkeley's Energy and Resources Group, Goldman School of Public Policy, and the Department of Nuclear Engineering. He is founding director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory (RAEL) and co-Director of the Berkeley Institute of the Environment. Dr. Kammen received his undergraduate (Cornell B.A. '84) and graduate (Harvard M.A. '86, Ph.D. '88) training in physics. Read more about his work here.
I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Kammen about his upcoming ECPA trip to the Southern Cone.
1. What does ECPA mean to you? As an ECPA Senior Fellow, how do you hope to contribute to U.S.-Latin American discussions on renewable energy science and policy?
First, I am tremendously appreciative of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the remarkable State Department team for developing this program. The need to develop a new ecologically and economically sustainable energy system may take decades to complete, but will not be possible if scientific, technical, economic, and policy innovations -- and regional as well as global collaborations -- are not developed, shared, and implemented. As someone who has run a basic research and applied implementation laboratory and who has worked in Africa, Latin America, and Asia for almost two decades, I think the ECPA program is a wonderful innovation and partnership that moves to regional scale, initiatives I have long thought were needed. I have worked with colleagues in Brazil, the Caribbean, Mexico, Nicaragua, and elsewhere on a range of solar, biomass, and other projects. I look forward to expanding that network of both science/engineering and policy efforts.
I would hope that I personally, and my laboratory more generally, can be a node in a network that develops, tests, and partners with university, government, private sector, and community groups working on these topics throughout Latin America and the Western Hemisphere more generally. If my laboratory can be a resource for programs in solar, wind, sustainable bio-fuel, and energy efficiency initiatives, I will be delighted. I can also share how the United State is addressing similar challenges, but at much larger scale due to our energy demand, at home. This is why I have made the website of my research team an interactive resource that lists publications, projects, interviews, data sets, and online carbon and other calculators so that anyone can use these tools.
2. In your first visit to Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay as an ECPA Senior Fellow what renewable energy development do you think is ripe for regional cooperation and expansion?
There are many exciting technical developments in both energy efficiency and in renewable energy taking place in the Hemisphere, and I see the most important opportunity for this learning visit -- which should be my first of three this year -- to establish a set of discussions where we could share innovative ideas that contribute to urban and rural clean energy development, and to sustainable transportation solutions.
One particular innovation that I am very pleased to see spreading very rapidly is that of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing to enable residential, commercial and community property owners to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects without any up-front capital. This effort -- of which I have been very pleased to form part of the initial development team -- has been named by Scientific American one of (in fact the top) sustainable innovation for 2010. I describe this idea on my laboratory website.
The PACE financing model has already spread to over 10 U. S. states, and is part of the clean energy implementation strategy supported by the Obama Administration. We continue to develop new aspects of this model in my laboratory, and in work I am doing with the city of Berkeley, the state of California, and at the federal and international level.
3. What are some successful models of energy innovations in the United States? What is the potential for replicating them in Latin America?
There is a tremendous amount to learn, adapt, and replicate throughout the Western Hemisphere from innovations -- from the national to the village and household level -- that have origins around the world. The PACE model discussed above is one such effort I hope to discuss on this visit, but so are programs already in place in parts of Latin America. These include Feed-in tariff models, regional or city sustainability or carbon management efforts, and the development of clean energy innovation centers. I hope to see discussions of job-creating, community-supporting research and development efforts take place in Argentina, Chile and in Paraguay. My students and I have tracked many of the cost-effective and innovative research and development programs in clean energy design in a series of papers on the RAEL website.
I would also like to see a focus on household and rural clean energy initiatives that support local empowerment for a clean energy future. My laboratory is eager to participate and assist in these efforts.
I am one of several resources governments and civil society may use under ECPA. I really welcome governments asking me any questions. I may not have all the answers, but am pleased to share my expertise and experiences with them, something ECPA promotes -- sharing of best practices and lessons learned so that countries of the Americas may benefit from this knowledge as they undertake very difficult challenges related to economic growth, energy security, and climate change.

Family of missing man asks for public's help
Toivola blaze razes three structures
TOIVOLA – A two-car garage, shed and doghouse are a complete loss after a fire late Thursday morning in Toivola.
The structures, on the property of Toivola Volunteer Fire Department Chief Garry Hoekstra and his wife Becky on Lakeview Road in Toivola, were completely engulfed when firefighters arrived on the scene at about 10 a.m. The fire was contained within an hour. Nobody was home when the fire started.
A plow truck and the heating source for the nearby home, both of which were in the garage, were also destroyed in the blaze. Some siding on the house, located across a wide gravel driveway from the garage, melted from the heat. A steady wind was blowing away from the home.
Adams Township, Twin Lakes and Hurontown fire departments assisted Toivola firefighters in battling the blaze through cold, misty weather conditions. Also responding was Mercy EMS.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

How God Flooded the Earth
The Hydroplate Theory. Makes total sense to me.
Would love to hear everyone else's thoughts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zkrJG4XUeo
Please consider England in your prayers!
Cool video and it seems like a pretty solid theory. I've never believed the claims that the Grand Canyon was formed over millions of years and it seemed especially implausible after the Mount St. Helen eruption in 1980 created a similar (but much smaller) formation within just three days.
The thing about the meteorites is pretty crazy. I'm not saying it's untrue, it's just not something I would have expected.
Such a dramatic worldwide event would also explain why mammoths were flash frozen with tropical plants still in their stomach.
Plus, the global flood explains a lot about the fossil record. The conditions for an animal to fossilize need to be created instantaneously, it's not something that can happen over millions of years. And there was always the question of why so many dinosaur fossils have their heads thrown back and mouths wide open like they were struggling when they died... they were drowning while being crushed under tons of water and mud.
The worldwide flood goes a long way to explain so much about the world we live in, even the stratification of the earth's crust. However, scientists refuse to even entertain the theory because they don't want to give any credence whatsoever to the Bible.
I thought it was supposed to be an ice age glacial melt...Its funny that this is one of the old testiment stories to be so desputed...and yet, the one which is affirmed by the most secular and historic sources...not only that there was a flood thats recorded in all parts of the inhabited world....but also that there was an idiotically advanced culture pre that point in history...much of the evidence for that still exists, and not only that, it still exists under water!
I would say two things regarding the video...Firstly, the Bible clearly states the flood came from rain water. However...in other parts of the bible, there is a phrase used that makes no sence...about fountains of the deep being locked up, and also about waters that cover the seas
He also uses the words "Centuries" when he talks about pressure build up...so this probably isnt young earth theory at its best
There is just one other thing to note...isnt it strange that the earth has tranches, like marinas and the Grand Canyon...and so does Mars
Interesting! Thanks for posting it.
well tyburn, a century is 100 years and noah was at least 600 when the flood happened
also if the water shot out of the cracks it would fall back as rain
also, i think the glaciers were from flood waters freezing, not the other way around
anyways, this is my theory to a 'T', i just never had a name for it
i think it is amazing how things happened, here in iowa we have the loess hills, they are made up of loess silt soil, the only other place it is found is in china, it is obvious to me that this is the particular silt that was left in a certain area as the water drained away, the same way it happens on my farm after a flood except on a much huger scale
i also imagine that if someone took this theory to it's complete scientific and geological conclusion you could accurately predict oil deposits, diamond deposits and gold deposits
i also think that the land masses had a floating effect, it wasn't the water draining off as much as the land coming to the surface of the water.
For someone to believe that, when the evidence isnt logical...tells me the extent of which he can believe what is not probable....and how do I know he hasnt applied that to his other theories.
To me...that ruined it...the moment he tried to justify his theory using asteroids with life on them...coz whilst I dont know much about sizemology...I do know enough about astronomy to know that his asteroid presumption doesnt fly.
The truth is, we dont know what that is describing...and whilst it COULD be a description of a water volcano...it might also mean something else entirely...a bit like the term "as the waters cover the sea" well...what could that mean, how can you cover with water, something already of water? one could argue, thats a Tsunami...a wave of water that covers the sea near the coast...but I wouldnt be certain that the bible was refering to that, just because it matches the description, when a great many possibilities are out there.
I personally, am not inclined to believe the theory just because if one can believe such a glaring astronomical falsity as used in that video...I dont see how we can relay on the fact that they wouldnt make the same falsity in regards to the seizmological prepositions. Although I am not learned enough to know that...to me it raises a high chance that this person isnt reliable...and therefore I can not adopt this position
2) The problem with this whole argument is that athiestic Scientists can never see a world with GOD as creator...and the Christians can never see GOD in creation.
The easy answer is to say that GOD didnt mean it like that...Athiests point out that Genesis has MORE THEN ONE version of the same Creation and it differs, and the Christians can tend to think that like Revelation, the Creation accounts are figurative and not litteral.
I take an interesting approach...because I happen to believe that as a Historical text, Genesis should be taken litterally....and yet I also have no problem with stuff happening "before" Creation.
The reason is because I think that "Creation" was took place in the Spiritual Realm...in THE SAME WAY, that "Salvation" happened. Therefore Dinosaurs can appear BEFORE Adam...Just as Moses can be Saved before Christ.
Why...Because both are Eternal! As Christ and his Salvation work Backwards from one chronological point, to cover History both before and after the event...why not Creation? Why cant creation go backwards into History just as it goes forwards...stemming from one chronological event?
Just as Moses was credited with Righteousness, before the Chronological point at which Salvation was available...so Dinosaurs can be credited with Creation, BEFORE the Chronological point at which Creation was avilable
Because the author of both Creation (Life) and Salvation (Eternal Life) has been Timeless.
When you remove the barriers caused by time...you see that its possible for someone to be saved in an age of death, just as something can exist in an age before creation.
Thankyou...and good night
Since time is not a constant in the universe, I believe that the 6 days of Creation in the biblical account and the 14-20 billion years of creation from science are actually the same period of time. So, from our perspective, those 6 days would have seemed like billions of years, when they really only lasted 6 days from GOD's perspective.
There is also evidence that dinosaurs existed right alongside humans, but since it doesn't fit the current Evolutionary narrative, science ignores that evidence.
...is that Genesis doesnt just define the periods of time as days...but as parts of days...Morning, and Evening. It is as if every effort is made to highlight the point that these were not seven period of time...or seven days from GODs point of view...but that they were seven, litteral, blocks of time, with a morning and an evening...
You've also changed your stance on this...during the time of MacT you were a strict creationalist...who told me that it wasnt seven periods of time, but seven, twenty four hour days
I have to say either your theory, or my theory would work completely. However, I was eager to actually somehow have a Seven Day Creation, just like there was a Proper Three Days for Salvation. I was eager to have a theory that would say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the Creative process occured in precisely Seven Days.
People accuse my theory of not being biblical...but all I do is take the principles surrounding the power of the ressurection BEFORE Christ in Chronology...and apply the same thing to Creation...for me, they are part of the same thing. Life (Love) and Death (Judgement) Saint Paul even speaks about Christ as being like the Second Adam...as if its a Second Genesis period, because the intended life which was spoilt in the Fall has been restored.
Although Christ died in a generally accepted year...and Christians acknowledge that there was a "Before" Christ...and thus a "Before" Salvation...and yet, they also adhere to the theology that those who had enough faith could be saved.
That has to mean that the process of Salvation goes BACKWARDS as well as forwards. I merely say the same is true for Life, as well as Eternal Life. The reason a lot of Christians Struggle with that is because the Creative Proccess has visible manifestations...being Credited with Righteousness does not...therefore its easy to miss the power and dependance of those Credited with righteousness, on the Cross reaching backwards through chronology for them. They miss the power of it, because they cant "see" its work...and they can not believe the process of creation could happen backwards because its 100percent visible...and to believe that, you would have to believe that the power involved in creation was astronomically large
I have no problem with that, because my entire theology is dependant on the Cross of Christ for Salvation. If GOD could kill a piece of himself, to unify a spoilt creation, whilst keeping himself Holy and perfect, and then ressurect that piece of himself after it has paid the price for sin in abundance. There is no greater power then that...so I feel that suggesting that Creation springs in the middle of chronology and works both forwards and backwards...well...surely thats a doddle and pale by comparison. To me, thats just using biblical principles...no there isnt a scripture reference that says it...but its a logical outcome of philosophy when applying the same principles of Restoration, to Creation...to me, they are parts of the same process...and that is the Ultimate Process...life, creation, love, restoration, all that is Light and of GOD....and the absence of life, the Death of Creation, Judgement, Damnation, all that is darkness and not of GOD.
Holiness and Sin...that in a nutshell is it.

Topic: No previous programming experience, should I jump in?
Well, the title speaks for itself:
I have no prior programming experience (only a bit of PseudoCoding, which looks like Pascal) and of course no Ruby experience at all. On the other hand, I am really interested in the whole web development thing so studying wouldn't be a problem.
So, what should I do? Go for Ruby On Rails or just begin with Ruby and move to Rails later?

Selecting the sample
- 1Yale University School of Nursing, West Haven, Connecticut, USA

Sample selection is a key factor in research design and can determine whether research questions will be answered before the study has even begun. Good sample selection and appropriate sample size strengthen a study, protecting valuable time, money and resources. In the context of healthcare research, poor design could lead to use of harmful practices, delays in new treatment and lost opportunities for high quality care. Not every study can achieve design perfection and researchers often seek a balance between the ideal sample and one that is feasible or convenient, acknowledging the limitations of their design decisions. Sample selection is far from simple but here are some of the techniques to think about as you read research and make the most out of your research endeavours.
Sampling the population
It is critical to take the time to clearly identify the population of interest for the specific research question. Nursing researchers are usually interested in answering questions about very specific patient populations which can span an incredible array of possibilities applying to international, national, local and organisational contexts. Research populations closely reflect nursing specialties, some of which are gender (eg, pregnant women) and age specific (eg, adolescent diabetes). It is rarely feasible to conduct a study that reaches every patient in the population of interest, therefore a subset or sample of that population is selected for study.
Different sampling methods are used depending on the aim of the study and whether the research question seeks a confident answer about the population of interest. If it does then the sample/s should represent the population for inferences to be made. Not all research questions depend on making inferences and there are many examples in qualitative research where the aim is theory development or exploration of patient experiences and inferences are not the focus.
Sampling methods: quantitative research

Not to get all feminist on you, but maybe make you think about something...
I don't care for the woman personally or politically, and frankly found her resignation speech mostly incomprehensible gibberish, but calling any woman who's just doing her thing a "witch"--even if you disagree with what she's doing--strikes me as more offensive than simply saying, "That's a politician I'm glad is gone."
I don't believe in electing and promoting women for the sake of electing and promoting women, but to see a duly elected woman feel the need to take herself out of the game is always unfortunate--in the (perhaps very) long run I think everyone, and the system, benefits from there being a better balance of the chromosomes in high places.
I feel no huge sympathy with her, nor do I feel it's a great loss politically, and I sort of wonder if it's part of a career strategy (which would make me not care for her even more), but I hate to hear her called a witch. Gets my Gender Studies 101 goat.

Tis not my fault your ex governor was/is a fraud & made a joke of The Republican Party's money and legacy. She was a 4th rate choice and proved herself as such.
As far as the witch comment, if the shoe fits, so be it. Now if we can just figure out which 100 or so pair we're talking about that was paid for by The GOP. Ironically nobody is able to get along with her. Hmmn. Just stating facts.
Seriously, I hope she runs in 2012, or stays in the national spotlight in some position.
As UB says, "you may not get what you expect, but will certainly get what you deserve."
It is amusing that there are some on this forum that object to mindless hatred and loathing. Oh mirror, mirror on the wall?

Please Jacob go ahead and provide specific details to how she was a fraud or cheat. I would love to know because i think if the party would stop pandering to the left she would be exactly what we need but its all about getting votes and not actually running on your morals or beliefs. She had a bunch of frivolous ethics claims filed against her all of which she was found innocent on. The GOP bought her some clothes. Hell they bought commercials and a lot of other things as well. Why aren't crying about those things as well. She needed to dresss a certain way for the RNC and they bought her clothes. Who cares find something substantive to cry about.

Thanks David, I don't know why I had it in my mind that it was. Is it comparable to AP flour or lower? Thanks.Chau
Peter thank you for the numbers and the link. I know you just said that caputo can't really be compared to North American flours BUT is there a NA flour with a similar W value? Surely we have a flour that with a comparable % of gluten forming proteins that behaves somewhat like the caputo flour. Could we even loosely state that it behaves more like an AP or a BF? Am I close in my observation that it behaves like a relatively low protein flour in that it seemingly absorbs little water and takes more kneading to develop gluten? Thanks

The Thomas and Uber Cup are often referred to as the Men's and Women's World Team Championships respectively. In this event one team (country) competes against another team (country) in three singles matches and two doubles matches to determine the winning team. The Thomas Cup, first staged in 1948-1949, was the Badminton World Federation's first major international tournament and originally took place every three years. In 1982 the tournament changed to a biennial event. The Thomas Cup was named for Sir George Thomas, the President of the World Body governing badminton who first conceived the idea of having a team championship event. Thomas, a legendary player having won 21 All England titles, and administrator of the sport donated the original trophy.
The Uber Cup started in 1956-1957 and, similar to the men's competition, took place every three years. Since 1984 though, the event has been held in conjunction with the Thomas Cup every two years. The Uber Cup is named in honor of Betty Uber, a British badminton star who in 1950 started the campaign for a women's team championship competition. Uber made the draw and competed in the inaugural Uber Cup in 1956-1957 at Lytham St. Annes in Lancashire, England. Like Thomas, Uber donated the original trophy for the event.

I was sent a sample of the new GM Neapolitan Hearth Style Pizza Flour. I was surprised that the sample was a 50 lb. bag. Did any member try this flour out? I think I might have to get my starter up to speed and try this flour in my bbq set-up, or maybe do some other experiments with this flour. I am going to give some of this flour to Steve to try.Norma
Nice score
Norma,That's pretty cool! Are they testing this flour out or is it readily available now? Is it a "00" milled product?If anyone deserves a 50# "sample" its definitely you! Hopefully its a product that you will be able to use with your styles. Let us know what you think of it.John K
Norma, why don't you repackage it into 3 lb. bags and offer them for sale, you'd make a fortune around here.!
John,These are the specs for the GM Pizza Flour. http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/gm-neapolitan-hearth-style-pizza-flour-50-lb/50237000?mct=Flour&ct=pizza&typ=Category Since I really don't understand specs I don't know how close or far away it is from the Caputo Pizzeria flour, or other OO flours.On May 2, 2013 of this year there was an article on PMQ Pizza Magazine about General Mill introducing the Gold Medal Neapolitan flour. http://www.pmq.com/May-2013/General-Mills-introduces-Gold-Medal-Neapolitan-flour/ Joe told me soon the new flour will be sent to distributors, but I don't know what distributors will get this flour.I got the sample bag of the GM flour from when I posted at Reply 17 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25401.msg256601.html#msg256601 I was going to get a sample of the Pillsbury 4X flour, but am glad I have a chance to try this flour out. Thanks for saying I deserve to try this new flour out. I really didn't even know anything about the new flour when I called Joe. I will report on how it works out in any pizza dough I try.Norma
Norma,I would be very surprised if they sent out 50# bags to "just anyone"! Please tell/show us your results with this product when you get around to using it. I would definitely consider using an American product if it performed well for NP.The cost would no doubt be lower than Caputo as well. From what I remember, they actually get the wheat for Caputo (in part) from the US or Canada, then they mill it in Italy, and send it all the way back here! Talk about shipping costs!Well, Good Luck!John K
Ingredients of this product; WHEAT FLOUR. No malted barley...nothing...CoolAlso a Falling Number of 325 secCaputo is 340-360 secI wish American flours had a W rating number.http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/gm-neapolitan-hearth-style-pizza-flour-50-lb/50237000
Norma,You can refer Joey to the section W in this document: http://www.cooknaturally.com/detailed/detailed.htmlSee, also, Reply 15 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,4986.msg42545.html#msg42545Peter
From; http://www.theartisan.net/Flours_One.htmA lot of the Pizzarium style pizze use a high W rated flour.W ratings<120Poor quality flours, unusable for bread making120 - 160Weak flours, appropriate for the production of Biscotti160 - 250Medium or average strength flours, used for soft doughs (paste molli) in the production of Pugliese, ciabatta, Francese, pane piuma, etc., for firm doughs (paste dure) in the production of pane ferrarese , and also for the refreshment of natural yeast (lievito naturale).250 - 310Flours of strength obtained from high quality national wheat and strong wheat of national or foreign origin, used in the production of maggiolino, baguette, rosetta, soffiato, & biove.310 - 320Flours extracted from strong wheat, used primarily for doughs with a long fermentation, indirect method doughs employing a biga or lieviti (natural yeasts) with long rises, or for sweet raised doughs such as pandoro, panettone, veneziane, etc.
Sweet score, Norma. Hopefully I can find a distributor near me and grab some. I do like to play around with flour.
Diana,I hope you can find a distributor for this flour. You sound just like me in playing around with different flours. Best of luck! Norma
Have you ever played around with Prairie Gold WW flour? It has a beautiful flavor and color. My family is not into whole wheat breads, generally, but when I balance it out, they like it. It actually has a high protein content for ww.
d -do you know how the Prairie Gold ww compares to the KA ww's Deb
Deb,I'll have to do a side by side comparison--it's been some time since I played with KA's ww, but I think this has a nuttier flavor, more golden look and a higher protein content. I'm on a flour quest today, so I may pick up some KA ww. I see a bread baking bender happening in the near future. It will have to be late at night or very early in the morning though. Hmm. At one point the early morning sessions worked well because my husband was still sleeping and I worked out while the ovens were heating.Diana
thanks I'll have to look for that. I'm just about out of ww . on quick google I see walmart carries, I"ll have to see if any around here have it . worst case, I think one of the cash & carry wholesalers that I can buy from has Prairie gold brand

Topic: Is RoR appropriated for me?
Hi everybody, this is my first post on RailsForum.
I recently learned Ruby and heard about Rails.
I need to design a quite small website used to rent several "chalets" for ski/mountain holydays.
My needs are :
- front office :
> photo gallery for each chalet
> access map
> contact form
> reservation prices and periods (with mysql backend)
> all these stuff in french and english
- back office :
> database updates
> "renting contract" generation/sending
There is already a website I made years ago, but it's ugly beginner's PHP code from scratch, and it currently presents only 1 chalet (see www.chalets-mugnier.fr).
So, my question is :
Is RoR a good choice to achieve this stuff?
Thanks by advance.

Thanks, Gibby and PizzaHog - I'll be making my way over there in the not too distant future.SteveP.S. which side of Groesbeck is Roselli's on?
On a website I was perusing, it says to coat the pan with peanut oil and bake at 350 for an hour. Apparently, the peanut oil has a very high smoking point. That should season it nicely.

The United Way Day of Caring assigned the Elkay (aka Medallion Cabinet)?volunteers to prepare our yard for the winter. They did this through the Friday afternoon sprinkle with a Marine Corps "gung ho" spirit.

You think guys at this level don't think about Income Tax? I am moving to Orlando from San Diego and for the life of me can't figure out why in the fuck Tiger chooses to live in Windermere as opposed to Rancho Santa Fe. That's a big WTF if you ask me, and I'd attribute lack of state income tax as at least partially the reason.

Check out our hand picked perfectly paired matching items.
High style and true comfort describes these low rise scrub pants from The Signature by Grey's Anatomy collection. They have all kinds of fashion details and are made of a wonderfully comfortable four-way stretch fabric. There are two front scoop patch pockets and a cargo pocket with stitched pen slot. the waist has elastic at the back and a twill tape drawstring threaded through grommet openings. Talk about attention to detail, the hem slits are double faced. These scrubs are cut slim through the hip and thigh with straight leg for a slender fit.
Overall Rating:
These pants are incredibly comfortable! I usually wear a Women's XL pant, so I was a little concerned about a Junior fit, but with the exception of riding lower below my natural waistline, they fit like a glove! They have just enough stretch to move with you and a nice flattering fit. The material moves when you walk. I also usually wear a petite length, but the regular length is just right, so a taller person might find them to be short. I'm 5'4" but have a long torso, so my legs are shorter than average.

to move it, our exclusive suite of solutions make it simple, whether it's truckload
(TL), less than truckload (LTL freight), expedited LTL or intermodal.
freight rates
LTL shipping in Maine is reasonable, particularly in the most populated metro areas. Outbound truckload rates are generally more favorable than inbound based on the imbalance of freight. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Maine can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
freight rates
Michigan, like other Upper Midwest states, has a large volume of freight shipping due to industrial manufacturing and automobile industries. Bringing freight into the state is usually more affordable than hauling freight out of Michigan. Intra-Michigan freight shipping is an integral part of the local economy and is very abundant in the state. This makes LTL freight shipping inside Michigan very affordable. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Michigan can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.

Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 69 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by sheila60 dolfin swimsuit I'm very disappointed in the suit. I haven't worn it more than 6 times and it is already worn in spots. I will be contacting dick's about returning it. A swimsuit should wear more than that. May 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Katsie Just What I Needed I am a busty lady and I needed a swimming suit that would keep the girls exactly where I put them. This suit does just that. That being said, here are some things to keep in mind: The suit is tight. It's made to be tight. Get a size bigger than you think you'll need and it will still be tight. The straps in the back will show off back fat. My fiance said it wasn't bad, but keep it in mind if you are self concious. I agree with the other reviewers. Get a size larger than what you usually wear. I followed the advice of the other reviewers and I LOVE MY SUIT! February 24, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Happy20 Good suit. Suit is lined and his soft cup bra. Had to buy one size larger then normal size for me. Sizes seem to run small. I have worn it twice and washed it twice. Teal color is pretty. February 22, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Dee39 Size not true I ordered two suits; one in my usual size and one in a size larger. Both were very small and felt like they were 2 sizes too small. I think the quality of this product was not the best. I returned both suits and found one at the store that fit very well in my usual size. January 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rhonda Feels good It's been a long time since I've worn a sport suit. That being said, it seems to fit well. Felt tight as I was trying to get it on, but I figured it was supposed to fit that way. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase. October 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by PAgirl Great Suit I love this swim suit. It fits perfect and doesn't ride up or move out of place. The purple is also a beautiful color. I have received many compliments. October 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by DoReMi good fit This suit is a good fit, and feels like it will last a good long while. Make sure the back of the suit is what you want. It leaves your back exposed quite a bit, and with my flab, it is not pretty, but i use a cover up suit top to fix that. September 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Likescomfort59 Soft comfortable lap swim suit I am very pleased with my suit recently purchased. I am full figured and needed extra room for comfort. My advice if you are full figured is to order larger than your usual size so that you will be comfortable and not have material stick and squeeze you. This suit is all about lap swim, very soft hardly noticeable cups, nice straps, soft suit and liner. Go for it, you wont regret it. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by MzT Swimsuit purchase Shopping was quick and easy. The suit was here sooner than expected. It fit great and is high quality. Thanks! July 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by krissy not enough support Nice suit but cut too slim for a fuller figure. the sides under the arm are low and in and did not give me enough coverage or support. I returned it, May 30, 2014

It's Spring Cleaning time here, and I've got some little or never used teaware that I'd like to find a better home for. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.
1: 120ml Yixing pot. This little pot comes from Chaikana Tea Culture in Santa Cruz. They told me that it originally came (unused) from a collector who had had it since the mid-80's, although I would take that with a grain of salt. If I understand correctly, the seal on the bottom is a six-character "Yixing Mang Sheng" stamp. It has a clean pour (+/-14 seconds) with a slight bit of dribble at the lid. I tested it out a couple of times to see how it performed, but otherwise it's unseasoned. SOLD!
2: Odds and Ends. From Left to right:
50ml Xu De-Jia Monk's Bowl Cup. Just starting to show crackling, still has a long life of seasoning yet to go. SOLD!
Porcelain Strainer. SOLD!
Chasen/Whisk Stand SOLD!
75 ml Goldfish Tasting Cups (Set of four). SOLD!
3: Tokoname Mogake Shiboridashi by Unzen. 100ml. Barely used. SOLD!
4: Rainbow Guinomi by Yamane Seigan. Unused. SOLD!
5: Hagi SO #9 Sansai Tebineri Yunomi by Seigan. I hate to get rid of this one, but it hasn't become a part of my regular rotation, so it should go to a better home. It is quite large, almost a chawan-size, and was formed by hand pinch work. You can see more here:

Canada Customs Limits, Allowances or Exemptions for Personal Goods
As of June 1st 2012
If you leave Canada for at least 24 hours, upon your return you are entitled to $200 personal exemption. Any amount over and above this $200 limit or exemption you will have to pay duties and taxes on if applicable. Depending on province of residence, you will pay HST or PST/QST or no provincial sales tax if you're from say Alberta.
*Keep in mind exemptions can not be combined. I.e. a husband and wife cannot both apply their exemption against a high priced item they purchase abroad. Also children are entitled to a full exemption so long as the item will actually be for them.
After each absence of 24 hours or moreDirectly quoted from the CBSA website, below is an explanation on your exemptions and special duty and regular duty that apply if you exceed your allowance.
You can claim up to CAN$200 worth of goods without paying any duties. This is your personal exemption. You must have the goods with you when you arrive in Canada and you cannot include tobacco products or alcoholic beverages in this exemption. If the goods you bring in are worth more than CAN$200 in total, you cannot claim this exemption. Instead, you have to pay full duties on all goods you bring in.
After each absence of 48 hours or more
You can claim up to CAN$800 worth of goods without paying any duties. You must have the goods with you when you arrive in Canada. Although you can include some tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, a partial exemption may apply to cigarettes, tobacco products and manufactured tobacco.
After each absence of 7 days or more
You can claim up to CAN$800 worth of goods without paying any duties. Although you can include some tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, a partial exemption may apply to cigarettes, tobacco products and manufactured tobacco. With the exception of tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, you do not need to have the goods with you when you arrive.To calculate the number of days you have been absent, do not include the date you left Canada but include the date you returned.
Dates matter, not times.
For example, we consider you to have been absent seven days if you left Friday the 7th and returned Friday the 14th.
Alcoholic beverages
You are allowed to import only one of the following amounts of alcohol free of duty and taxes:
- 1.5 litres (53 imperial ounces) of wine;
- a total of 1.14 litres (40 ounces) of alcoholic beverages; or
- up to a maximum of 8.5 litres of beer or ale.
Alcoholic beverages are products that exceed 0.5% alcohol by volume. Minimum ages for the importation of alcoholic beverages, as prescribed by provincial or territorial authorities, are 18 years for the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec and 19 years for the remaining provinces and territories.
The CBSA classifies "cooler" products according to the alcoholic beverage they contain. For example, beer coolers are considered to be beer and wine coolers are considered to be wine. Alcohol and wine products not exceeding 0.5% alcohol by volume are not considered to be alcoholic beverages.
The quantities of alcohol you can bring in must be within the limit set by the province or territory where you will enter Canada. If the value of the goods is more than your personal exemption, you will have to pay both duty and taxes, as well as provincial/territorial assessments. In Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, you cannot bring in more than the quantities of alcohol allowed. For more information, contact the appropriate provincial or territorial liquor control authority before you arrive back in Canada.
If you are 18 years of age or over, you are allowed to bring in all of the following amounts of tobacco into Canada free of duty and taxes within your personal exemption:
- 200 cigarettes;
- 50 cigars;
- 200 grams (7 ounces) of manufactured tobacco; and
- 200 tobacco sticks.
Special duty rate
After each trip outside Canada of 48 hours or longer, you are entitled to a special duty rate of 7% under the Most-Favoured Nation tariff treatment in addition to your personal exemption. The rate applies only to goods that accompany you, that do not qualify forduty-free entry under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and that are worth up to CAN$300 more than your personal exemption of $800 CAD. The rate does not apply to tobacco products or alcoholic beverages. You still have to pay any GST/HST that applies. In some provinces, the CBSA also collects the provincial sales tax (PST).
Regular duty rate. If you do not qualify for a personal exemption, or if you exceed your exemption limit, you will have to pay the GST/HST, as well as any duty or other tax or assessment that applies on the excess amount. Duty rates vary according to the goods you are importing, the country where the goods were made and the country from which you are importing them. You may also have to pay the PST if you live in a province where the CBSA has an agreement to collect the tax and you return to Canada through that province.

Below is an addendum to the above post I wrote the other day to clear up some common misconceptions in regards to personal entitlements after being away fromCanada.
9 Tips with regards to Canada Customs Limits or Allowances with regards to your Personal Exemption
After going on a vacation, how many of you are totally knowledgeable with how much you can bring back toCanadaduty and tax free?
The vast majority of residents ofCanadaare aware that they can bring goods home however they are unclear about every detail. In many cases their information is wrong or completely false and will often result in a nasty surprise after they present themselves to Canada Customs.
This article will talk about 9 facts that are frequently unknown and can doubtlessly help you to keep away from a lot of hassle and more expenditure soon after a costly vacation.
Without further ado, here they are:
1. Personal exemptions cannot be shared – A little understood fact is that couples or family members returning to Canada from vacation cannot share their personal exemptions.
As an example, Mr. and Mrs. Canuck go toThailandon vacation for a few weeks and buy a metal sculpture of an elephant for $1600 CAD. They return toCanadaand declare the sculpture on the E311 declaration card by means of placing $800 under each of their names splitting the $1600 cost of the item.
This is wrong. In the above circumstance, either Mr. or Mrs. Canuck needs to claim the sculpture and will exceed the particular exemption given by tariff 9804.20 of $800 worth of items duty and tax free by an further $800 that could be duty and taxable.
2. Children are provided the same personal exemptions as adults so long as the goods are unquestionably for their exclusive use and benefit at the same time they need to be legally entitled to it. For example, liquor along with tobacco products are certainly not allowed nor would an adult sized mountain bike.
3. Personal exemptions given by Tariff 9804 should be utilized on the highest dutiable item first and then any leftover amount utilized on the subsequent highest dutiable object etc.
An example of this might be Mrs. Canuck returns from an eight day shopping getaway from the UK. She brings back to Canada a sweater she bought for $100, a cellular phone she bought for $500 as well as a pair of rubber wellingtons for $300. Since she has been away a minimum of 7 days she is qualified to receive the $800 exemption.
The first item the exemption should be utilized against would be the boots as it comes with a 20% duty rate; the second item would be the sweater as it has a duty rate of 18%. The remaining $400 still left on the $800 exemption would be applied on the mobile phone which does not have any duty associated, resulting in a balance of $100. The final result is that Mrs Canuck would only need to pay HST/GST/PST (according to province of residence) on the $100 not covered by her personal exemption.
However, if made use of incorrectly, that is her exemption is applied for the mobile phone and sweater first, Mrs. Canuck could be charged potentially 7% duty (not 20% as 9804.30 is applied) on the $100 left over value of the boots.
4. The $200 personal exemption given by Tariff 9804.40 for returning residents away from Canadafor at least 24 hours is only applicable if an individual doesn't go over the $200 amount.
So for example, if an individual travels to the US and comes back twenty four hours and 5 minutes later and buys $201 worth of goods, the full amount is duty and taxable. This is as opposed to the 48 hour $800 personal exemption and the seven day $800 personal exemption, where only the amount that exceeds the exemption is duty and taxable.
5. Alcohol and tobacco will not be eligible under tariff 9804.40 for the $200 personal exemption following being away from Canada for not less than 24 hours.
6. With 48 hour $800 exemption as well as the 7 day $800 exemption, the quantity of alcoholic beverages you can bring back tax free is qualified by OR, meaning that it is possible to only bring either one of the following:
As much as 1.5 litres of Wine
As much as 1.14 litres of Spirits
As much as 8.5 litres of Beer
• And you must have reached the age of majority for the province you're entering. I.e. 18 yrs old inQuebec,AlbertaandManitoba. 19 years of age for the remainder ofCanada.
On the other hand with Tobacco, the exemption is qualified by AND, consequently it is possible to bring back all of the following:
200 cigarettes
50 Cigars
200 grams of manufactured tobacco
200 tobacco sticks.
• Please keep in mind that something known as "Minimum Duty" could be applied to tobacco falling under your personal exemption that aren't labelled "Canada Duty Paid" which is as follows:
• Cigarettes $15 per carton of 200 / (7.5 cents each)
• Tobacco Sticks $11 per carton of 200 / (5.5 cents each)
• Manufactured Tobacco $11 per 200 grams / (5 cents per gram
7. Under Tariff 9804.20, the personal exemption of $800 after being away for not less than 7 days can be applied to items that are going to follow. I.e. Goods being sent to you. For the other exemptions, $200 for at least 24 hours and $800 not less than 48 hrs, the goods must accompany you.
8. Under Tariff 9804.20, the personal exemption of $800 after being absent for a minimum of 7 days, the 7 days don't include the day of departure.
9. If absent more than 7 days, after you've used up your personal exemption under tariff 9804.20 of $800, a further exemption under Tariff 9804.30 can be utilized up to a maximum of $300 extra for goods accompanying you.
So for example, anything surpassing your $750 exemption will be eligible up to another $300 worth of items for either a preferential duty rate of 7% or no duty in cases where the goods are made in the United Statesbut sales tax of HST/GST/PST will always apply.
Due to the fact sales tax always applies to tariff 9804.30, in the event your items are not dutiable or taxable than it wouldn't be useful to claim this exemption. I.e. An orthopaedic appliance that would be duty free under tariff 9021.31.00.00 and non taxable under the Excise Tax Act.
Note: Alcohol and tobacco items will not qualify under this particular tariff.
I hope now the next time you take a trip, you'll be much better prepared of what your entitlements are. Happy Trails!

There are few problems with the gallery lights , alice i think wanted to change them a while ago . at the time i didnt understand why . iwas helping john set up his show and he had problems with them.
1) there are too low and tend to spotlight things rather than illuminate the room .
2) there is a lot of red light coming out the back of the lights.
3) people have been putting 50watt bulbs in them and there are melting . john has changed them all to 30 watt now .
4) we only have 5 left.
one idea i have to find some old florescence lights and hang them . kinda like a factory. those old metal types you get . i think if we could do it would give the gallery a bit of distinction . i also like those old light fitting in the hall .

Adam Ottavino has been rock solid for the Colorado Rockies so far this year
26-year old righty reliever Adam Ottavino has been pretty solid as a long reliever for the Rockies so far this year. He has pitched in 43 games (0 starts) for the Rockies so far this year and he is 5-1 with a 3.55 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Ottavino has only given up 50 hits while whiffing 64 batters in his first 63 1/3 innings, which is impressive, but he has also walked 28 batters and that is way too many. Still, even with his control issues, Ottavino has been a rock solid reliever for the Rockies so far this year.

A Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodWednesday, November 7th, 2012
It was a superb Sunday in the Mid-Atlantic area, and I had the rare opportunity to just go flying. Most of the time it's for business (business flying is fun—no question—but one doesn't get to pick the times, places, companions, or weather—any one of which can make a potentially joyous outing seem more like, well, work.)
The skies were blessedly busy, and the tower was sorting out the traffic as we waited for departure. Some controllers keep you waiting even when the aircraft on final is still only imaginary, and others will approve an immediate departure when you might have preferred to let the other guy or gal play through.
Sometimes the flight plan needs a bit more tweaking or an overlooked checklist item needs attention—however, when you're ready, it's nice to be on the way. I've made mistakes in rushing which is always a bad idea, and then after hurrying to comply with the request, remembered thinking that was dumb. A simple, "unable" or "We'll wait, thank you," would have allowed things to be on my terms, which is always better.
The 30-minute cross-country flight was uneventful with lots of low altitude traffic. The traffic avoidance gear and my eyes were well exercised. I've really come to appreciate that equipment and hope that as it becomes more affordable and widespread, the incidents of close-calls and mid-air collisions will decrease. It's true that just one really can ruin your whole day.
Accurate position reporting is essential for the tower to sequence everyone. On this day, several directionally-challenged pilots knew they were somewhere and dutifully reported it only to later figure out they were somewhere else. Surprises are great for birthday parties, but not so much in flying. The tower was not amused.
Tower: "62X I cleared you to land and you did a touch-and-go."
62X: "I requested a touch-and-go."
Tower: "Next time, if what you wanted isn't what you got, let's have that conversation—it just makes it easier for everyone."
On returning home, the field was buzzing. Helicopters were hovering on the infield, gliders were gliding with the occasional tow plane returning for the next haul, and numerous transients were out and about. Add in practice IFR approaches and students doing circuits. The choreography was working pretty well until a Hawker bizjet, inbound from the east and going twice as fast as everyone else, needed the long runway, while the crosswind dictated the short runway for most of us. The Cessna we were following needed to go around because he was too high. The tower asked me for a position report (about a mile final) and was contemplating the complications with the jet. Racing him to the intersection is like racing trains to a grade crossing—the results could be both spectacular and discouraging (but what a thrill before impact!). A go-around might be good for the soul, and so that's what we did and advised the tower.
Pulse rate in multiple aircraft and one ATC facility returned to normal. We followed the preceding Cessna, and as number three, were cleared to land. All-in-all, a very satisfying day and lots of subtle lessons.
So, how are things in your high-density VFR neighborhood?
The AOPA Foundation is committed to helping protect our aviation freedoms, so that all of us pilots can enjoy the opportunity to just go fly. Your donations help make this possible. If you haven't already, please consider donating to the AOPA Foundation today to help us in our efforts.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Top performances throughout November earned wrestler Alyssa Lampe (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and bobsled pilot Steven Holcomb (Park City, Utah) Athlete of the Month recognition, while the women's 4x5-kilometer cross-country ski team received Team of the Month honors, the United States Olympic Committee announced today.
Lampe won gold medals at two international competitions in November. Her first gold came in the 48 kg./105.5 lbs. division at the Hargobind International on Nov. 2 in Burnaby Mountain, British Columbia. Lampe went 3-0 in the tournament and defeated Canada's Jasmine Mian in the final. Lampe added another gold in the same division at the New York Athletic Club International on Nov. 9. She won two bouts in a two-athlete round robin in her weight class, defeating Ai Nakaya of Japan and Lyndsey Almeida of Canada.
Holcomb capped the month of November with a sweep of the two-man bobsled world cup races. Holcomb teamed with Steve Langton (Melrose, Mass.) and Curt Tomasevicz (Shelby, Neb.) to win three gold medals in three events. Holcomb and his USA-1 push crew of Langton, Tomasevicz and Justin Olsen (San Antonio, Texas) also claimed two silver medals in the four-man bobsled races to bring Holcomb's total November medal count to five.
The U.S. women's cross-country ski team made history with its first ever FIS World Cup relay podium in the 4x5 relay on Nov. 25 in Gaellivare, Sweeden. Holly Brooks (Anchorage, Alaska), Kikkan Randall (Anchorage, Alaska) and Liz Stephen (East Montpelier, Vt.) put the team into medal position before Jessie Diggins (Afton, Minn.) outsprinted Norway II to claim bronze for the team.
Figure skating standout Ashley Wagner (Alexandria, Va.) and cycler Katie Compton (Colorado Springs, Colo.) earned second and third place in the female vote. On the men's side, wheelchair tennis sensation David Wagner (San Diego, Calif.) finished runner-up, while downhill skier Marco Sullivan (Squaw Valley, Calif.) took third. The 2012 Paralympic gold-medal winning quad doubles team of Nick Taylor (Wichita, Kan.) and Wagner earned second in the team competition, while the figure skating duo of Meryl Davis (West Bloomfield, Mich.) and Charlie White (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) rounded out the voting in third.
Each National Governing Body may nominate one female, one male and one team per discipline. A voting panel selects the winners from the pool of nominees with online fan voting via Twitter accounting for 10 percent of the total vote.
1. Alyssa Lampe, Wrestling
2. Ashley Wagner, Figure Skating
3. Katie Compton, Cycling
1. Steven Holcomb, Bobsled
2. David Wagner, Tennis
3. Marco Sullivan, Skiing
1. Women's 4x5 relay team, Skiing

Forget the gym: Hit your nearby park and get a killer workout outside.
In a fitness rut? This summer, ditch the stale gym air and take your exercise into the great outdoors. The benefits of exercising in a natural environment have been well-documented�individuals who work out�al fresco�tend to burn more calories, have less stress, and are more likely to stick with their fitness goals. You can easily transform your neighborhood park into an outdoor gym�no special equipment required. Scope out a park bench and get ready to feel the burn. Burpees: Great for cardio. Stand up, place hands on ground in front of feet, jump feet back to a pushup position, jump feet back in, stand up. That�s one rep. Pushups: Try these on the flat grass or with hands on a bench, either in full pushup position (on toes) or modified on your knees if you�re a beginner. Triceps dips: Sit on the bench and place hands on either side of your body at the edge (fingers should face your butt). Scoot your butt off the bench with your legs extended out in front of you. Bend elbows to lower body and push back up to start position. That�s one rep. Split Squat: Facing away from a bench, place the ball of one foot behind you on the bench. Bend knees into a lunge position, stand back up. Step Ups: Place your right foot on a bench, step up until your right leg is straight. Then, step back down. Repeat 10 times, then switch legs and do 10 more reps. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Hi all,
I have a Martin D41 and when gigging I connect it to a cheap Zoom A2.1u pedal to use as a tuner and a DI.
I have an LR Baggs Anthem installed in the axe and I have just ordered a Venue DI.
This is probably a stupid question, but with all the EQ settings to play around with on the Venue - what should I set the EQ to on my guitar channel on the mixer
at gigs? i.e. should the highs, mids and lows be all set to 12 o clock on the mixer and then dial in the EQ settings that I want on the Venue?
Also, excuse my ignorance but I presume the Venue is going to provide me with some benefits over the cheap pedal that I'm using at the moment?
(sorry I don't know much about preamps, DI's, etc - I just have the Anthem and Venue based on great reviews!!)
Thanks guys!!

Great for English Language Learners
By MCS081480
from Chicago, Il
I have been teaching my students about liquid capacity for a while, but they weren't quite getting it. The magnetic gallon set allowed me to move the pieces around to show the equivalent amounts. I kept it on the board for a couple weeks and we referred to it often, and the students made their own worksheets to give to each other to practice. Since my students are ELL, it is necessary to use lots of visual aids to help teach effectively.
Great Set Enhances Learning
By 4649miranda
from MN
We found the LR Giant Magnetic Gallon Set a great asset to learning liquid measurements. It was nice to have a hands on alternative to real liquids. This set is sturdy, well made set. The magnetic side is strong as well so these won't be falling off either. *I received this set in exchange for my honest opinions.
Couldn't be better!
By theteacherswife
from Iowa
I received this Giant Magnetic Gallon Set from Learning Resources to review and I absolutely LOVE it. I actually really love all of their giant magnetic products but the magnetic "containers" in this set are great. Each smaller container fits the right amount of containers perfectly into the next container. So for example the gallon fits 4 quarts perfectly in it. It comes with pieces to make 1 gallon of every size included. Definitely recommend!
