Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Madam Speaker, in 252 days, Canada will host the world at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Athletes from all across our nation will have the honour to demonstrate Canada's excellence, talent and courage to the world.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary event will also be an opportunity for women and children to be trafficked across our nation for sexual exploitation.
Recently, Canadians have been inspired to believe.
I believe Canada will win its first gold medal on home soil.
I believe Canadian athletes will own the podium in 2010.
I also believe that Canada has a crucial opportunity to demonstrate to the world its commitment to fight human trafficking.
I believe that Canadians support a national strategy to combat human trafficking.
I believe we have the capability to be the true north, strong and free.
Do others believe?

John Cannis Scarborough Centre, ON
Madam Speaker, during question period on Tuesday, the Minister of Veterans Affairs, in my opinion, was not accurate in his response to a question that was posed to him by the member for York West about compensation for widows of veterans who were exposed to agent orange.
The minister stated that the Liberals refused to act. As the former chair of the veterans affairs committee who chaired a special session on agent orange, I say that the minister was not accurate in his response.
I will remind the minister that it was the Liberals who held a special session on agent orange. It was the Liberals who appointed Dr. Dennis Furlong to do the inquiry. It was the Liberals who allowed the minister, then a member of the opposition, to participate in that special committee hearing. Then there was an election.
As we commemorate D-Day and pay tribute to our military, I ask the minister, if he cares for our men and women in uniform, not to politicize this issue but to be accurate with his statements, unlike the Prime Minister who misled Ms. Joyce Carter, a veteran's widow.

Yvon Lévesque Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, at the closing ceremony of the 88th annual conference of the Quebec union of municipalities held in Gatineau from May 12 to 16, the title of rising star of the year among the new crop of municipal councillors went to Francis Murphy, a young municipal councillor from Val-d'Or and a resident of my riding.
Only 24 years of age, Mr. Murphy has already served four years as a very active councillor. He is also a member of the young people and municipal democracy committee of the Quebec union of municipalities. In this capacity, he recently took part in a tour of young municipal representatives aimed at encouraging young people from all over Quebec to become involved in municipal politics.
We do not yet know whether he will run again in the next elections. I encourage him, however, to do so. Politics at all levels needs dynamic, motivated young people who in turn can motivate others. Congratulations, Mr. Murphy.

Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
Madam Speaker, niigaaniin, which means "to go forward", is a culturally appropriate, community-based social assistance program that is making a big difference for the seven communities in the North Shore Tribal Council.
Niigaaniin's successes are many, such as the delivery of adult education in all seven communities. Previously there was no funding for this type of important work. The staff view their role as that of a community office and not a welfare office, turning stigma around and focusing on finding long-term solutions with the ability to deliver short-term help. Niigaaniin is part of a first nations cost of administration and employment supports pilot project.
First nations in Kenora and London are also implementing similar projects that are financed by Ontario Works. Ontario is meant to be reimbursed for these costs at a minimum of 50% from the federal government, as part of the 1965 Indian Welfare Agreement. Sadly, this program's funding is only guaranteed until the end of March 2010. This program might exist for less than four years if funding is not secured.
New Democrats join first nations communities in calling for secure funding agreements that would allow success stories like Niigaaniin to continue forging community-based solutions, working with and for the people by offering a hand up, not a hand out.

Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Madam Speaker, it is in difficult times that technological innovation makes strides, and a firm in Lévis is the proof.
On May 28 in Gatineau, I took part in the launch of the controlled vacuum fare collection system of the Société de transports de l'Outaouais, developed by a firm in Lévis, TAG Canada.
This revolutionary system is used to collect the fares of public transit users. I am extremely proud that the STO turned to a company in Lévis to be at the forefront of world technology in this area.
TAG won two awards at the Lévis chamber of commerce's prestigious Pléiades 2009. It was founded in 1995 and has got off to a promising start.
I would like to congratulate TAG's president, Gilles Tardif and his dynamic team on its innovativeness. With leaders like Mr. Tardif, Canada will come out of these difficult economic times all the stronger.

Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Madam Speaker, on August 19, 1982, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed June 4 to be the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. This day reminds us that there are millions of children the world over who are victims of various forms of cruelty and that the need to protect the rights of these children is urgent.
Throughout the world fifty million people have been uprooted. They are refugees who have sought safety in other countries, and more than half of them are children.
Over two million children have been killed in conflicts in the past decade. More than six million other children are believed to have been wounded, and one million of them are orphans. In 87 countries, children play near and around some 60 million landmines.
Knowing of this situation, the government has the duty and responsibility to take specific measures to make the voice of these vulnerable children heard and to come to their defence.
Ducks Unlimited Canada
Statements By Members

Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Madam Speaker, today is a historic day for Ducks Unlimited Canada, a trusted and respected conservation company.
Senior executives, staff and members of the board of directors have met with parliamentarians throughout the day to educate them about Ducks Unlimited Canada's outstanding 71-year track record.
Ducks Unlimited Canada's partnership with the federal government is best showcased within the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, an international conservation plan signed by Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, in 1986. This plan has invested over $1.5 billion to conserve over four million acres of wetland ecosystems.
Ducks Unlimited has worked with all levels of government, first nations, industry, private landowners and others, to conserve 4.6 million acres, while influencing 33 million more acres through policy and conservation measures.
Ducks Unlimited Canada has 173,000 supporters, an annual budget of $78 million and a core volunteer force of duck hunters and anglers who raise conservation funds in the U.S. and Canada.
World Environment Day

Christian Ouellet Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Mr. Speaker, every year, around the world, June 5 marks World Environment Day. In addition to being the occasion for numerous activities, this day is intended chiefly as a promotional tool to educate the population about the major issues we are facing.
Launched in 1972 by the General Assembly of the United Nations, World Environment Day is designed to encourage people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development, so as to ensure a more prosperous future for the generations to come.
The theme for 2009 is "Your Planet Needs You—Unite to Combat Climate Change". It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal on the specific subject of climate change, which will be central to the discussions in Copenhagen.
The Bloc Québécois regretfully notes the inertia of this government in recognizing the importance of taking immediate action against climate change.
This is a very sad anniversary.

Blaine Calkins Wetaskiwin, AB
Mr. speaker, 20 years ago today, Poland held the first free parliamentary elections in what was then the communist eastern bloc. The overwhelming winner was the Solidarity free trade union movement. For the first time in four decades, a democratic government came to power. Solidarity's triumph helped to tear down the Iron Curtain and led to the non-violent collapse of communism throughout central and eastern Europe.
Within mere months of this election, nearly all of the communist governments across the region fell. Democracy, for which many Poles and other disenfranchised Europeans had given their lives, finally saw the light of day.
The success of Solidarity, personified in the leadership of Lech Walesa and inspired by Pope John Paul II, is an accomplishment worthy of commemoration. I am proud to stand up today for the recognition of the 20th anniversary of free elections in Poland.
Today, Poland serves as an example to those who are still fighting for freedom and democracy around the world. On this 20th anniversary of the beginning of the end of communism in central and eastern Europe, Canadians should remember its significance and be mindful of the need to always stand up for the values that we hold dear: liberty, human rights, the rule of law and democracy.
National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations
Statements By Members

Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Mr. Speaker, after an unprecedented three terms, National Chief Phil Fontaine has decided not to run for re-election next month, thereby ending nine years at the helm of the Assembly of First Nations.
A gifted and highly respected leader, he has been instrumental in bringing about positive change and advancement for first nations people.
A proud member of the Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, he was a leading force in the resolution and settlement of claims arising out of the 150-year-old Indian residential school tragedy. As a master negotiator, he helped secure last year's historic residential schools apology.
He has received many awards and honours, including four honorary degrees and membership in the Order of Manitoba. His lifelong dedication to issues facing first nations and to the advancement and self-determination of indigenous people in Canada and around the world is worthy of the House's recognition.
We extend our best wishes to Chief Fontaine as he moves on to a new path in his life's journey.
1989 Tiananmen Square Protest
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Scott Reid Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, today marks the 20th anniversary of the tragic events in Tiananmen Square. At the time, Canada took a strong, principled stand and unequivocally condemned the communist government's murderous crackdown on its own peaceful citizens.
For this, the government of the day was criticized by some who felt that standing up for human rights in China could jeopardize Canada's investment opportunities in that country.
In addition to the demonstrators, among the heroes of Tiananmen Square are the Chinese government officials, such as Zhao Ziyang, who sympathized with and supported the protestors at great risk to their own personal safety.
That is why, when the world learned of Zhao Ziyang's death in 2005, Canadians were once again proud to see our current Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism visit Zhao's family home to pay his personal respects. Once again, as with our principled stand in 1989, the Minister of Immigration was criticized by some who were concerned that this would damage Canada's commercial interests in China.
History can never be purged of the truth, and memory is more powerful than oppression. We hope that China will use the opportunity to examine the—

Filipino Community in Manitoba

Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, this is the 50th anniversary of the Filipino community in Manitoba. What a heritage moment and historical milestone. From 1959, when four nurses settled in Winnipeg, there are now almost 50,000 Filipino residents in Manitoba.
Today, more immigrants come to Manitoba from the Philippines than from any other country, with the Filipino community making up a larger percentage of the population in Manitoba than they do in any other province.
They are a formidable force in the economic, social, cultural and spiritual life of my province and a key player in Canada's multicultural mosaic. They are living testimony to just how much immigration is needed to sustain economic development and strengthen respect for cultural diversity in Canada.
The 50th anniversary will be celebrated in conjunction with Philippine Heritage Week, starting with the flag-raising this weekend at the Philippine-Canadian Centre of Manitoba.
[Member spoke in Filipino as follows:]
Mabuhay sa mga Kababayang Pilipino. Maligayang pagbati sa anibersaryo. Salamat po.
History of Canada

John Weston West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, west of the Parliament Buildings is a 19th-century building known as the Carbide Building, which reminds us of the inventor Thomas Carbide and other pioneers who created our magnificent country.
Those who walk or run by the building could easily ignore it and ignore our history. On the 65th anniversary of D-Day, I challenge my colleagues in this chamber and Canadians everywhere not to ignore our history.
For the sake of those Canadians who participated in that magnificent yet horrific event, such as Alan Dean, James Mannall, Ernie Renwick and Bob Hubbard, who were all members of the Canadian Legion on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast; for the sake of my uncle, the late Smokey Smith, who was Canada's last surviving Victoria Cross holder; and for the sake of my late father, a World War II prisoner of war, we must not ignore our history.
We must not ignore our historic buildings. Even more importantly, we must not ignore the sacred rights we enjoy today, thanks to the sacrifices of those brave soldiers who changed the world on D-Day. We will remember them.
Pay Equity
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, while this government stubbornly refuses to recognize pay equity, Quebec is taking action. The unanimous passage in the National Assembly of Quebec of Bill 25, which updates the Pay Equity Act, constitutes a historic gain for women working in Quebec.
Gone is the time when traditionally female jobs were avoided because they were less well paid. With all of the new provisions, the right to pay equity can now be deemed a vested right. As of today, it can be said that in the area of employment, Quebec women have the same rights, privileges and opportunities as men.
The only exception we have in Quebec is for women who work in federally regulated undertakings. For them, pay equity continues to be an impossible dream as long as this government is in power.
If the Conservative government ever wants to finally join the 21st century on pay equity, it need only follow the example of Quebec.

When you bring your puppy to the animal hospital for the first time, the vet will explain the core vaccines for dogs, then will also discuss whether your dog would benefit from "non-core" dog vaccinations.
The "core" vaccines that are recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Canine Vaccine Task Force will protect your dog from distemper, parvovirus in dogs and the canine adenovirus, also known as hepatitis. The core treatment also includes a vaccine to protect against rabies in dogs.
"Vaccines serve a real purpose. Every dog should be evaluated for protection on an annual basis," Dr. Link Welborn, past president of the AAHA and chairperson of the committee that formulated the AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines, told the Chicago Tribune.
The Canine Vaccination Guidelines recommend annual titer testing, which tests a dog's immunity to diseases and thus determines whether the dog needs to be vaccinated against that disease that year. Welborn told the news outlet that not every dog needs to be vaccinated every year, and not all require every single vaccination available.
You should talk to your veterinarian about your dog's particular needs. Depending on the canine's lifestyle, your vet may also recommend "non-core" vaccines to protect against illnesses like distemper-measles, Lyme disease, canine parainfluenza virus and kennel cough, VCA Animal Hospitals reports.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

In 1988, Gen Lamrimpa, a Tibetan monk, led a one-year retreat in the Pacific Northwest, during which a group of Western meditators devoted themselves to the practice of meditative quiescence (shamatha). This book is a record of the oral teachings he gave to this group at the outset of the retreat. The teachings are brought to life by Gen Lamrimpa's warmth, humor, and extensive personal experience as a contemplative… Read More

Emerging markets have experienced staggering growth in the past 10 years. And even though growth rates have recently slowed due to weakness in the global economy, they are still expanding at a much faster pace than developed countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan.
Take Brazil, for example. Even though a recent third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 0.6% was below expectations, it is still projecting a 4% growth in 2013. That's well ahead of the United States, which is projected to grow by a paltry 2%, and far better than the 1.4% total global growth projected by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Other emerging markets are also expected to see big gains.
South Korea is expected to grow GDP to at least 3% in 2013, while the United Arab Emirates is expected to grow its economy to 4.6% next year. Russia, India and China are projected to reach GDP growth of 3.9%, 6.5% and 8%, respectively.
But even though emerging-market growth isn't exactly a new thing on the Street, the way I like to invest in these countries is. In fact, my favorite investments were only available exclusively to professional and high-net-worth investors just a year ago.
I'm talking about high-yielding emerging-market corporate bonds, which can now be obtained through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
With high yields of up to 7%, emerging-market corporate bonds are way ahead of U.S. corporate bond yields of about 3.8%, and more than three times the yield of the 10-year Treasury note of 1.7%. These ETFs provide investors with exposure to growing companies in emerging markets that have lower credit ratings and leveraged balance sheets. This means these companies are more susceptible to default on their loans, so their borrowing costs are high (hence their higher yields). But as these companies evolve through the natural stages of growth, their borrowing costs decline, producing big capital gains for early investors.
This translates into two things: a shot at some serious capital gains and huge yields. This is why StreetAuthority Co-Founder Paul Tracy, the face behind High-Yield International, says investors should to look overseas if they want to truly find high yields.
But it's important to note that higher yield also comes with more risk, so the great thing about bond ETFs is that, because they hold a basket of bonds, they provide investors with a hedge against single-asset risk.
Here are my three favorite high-yielding emerging-market ETFs. All three of them were launched this year, making them a bit more attractive in terms of valuation.
1. Market Vectors Emerging Markets High-Yield Bond (NYSEARCA:HYEM)
This ETF corresponds to the price and yield of the BofA Merrill Lynch High-Yield US Emerging Markets Liquid Corporate Plus Index, an index of high-yield corporate bonds from emerging markets. With a healthy 7% yield, this ETF has a higher yield than domestic high-yield corporate bond ETFs such as the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond (NYSEARCA:HYG) and the SPDR Barclays Capital High-Yield Junk Bond (NYSEARCA:JNK), both yielding about 6.8%. HYEM's yield also beats sovereign emerging-market yields of roughly 4%.
With top 10 holdings that include exposure to companies in the Cayman Islands, Indonesia, Brazil and Mexico, this bond ETF provides diversified exposure to exotic locations that, until June, were unavailable to regular investors. Because it was just launched, daily liquidity of 15,500 shares and assets under management of just $21 million make this a satellite holding in your portfolio. But with an expense ratio of just 0.40%, below the category average of 0.52%, this is the perfect place for fixed-income investors to tap into growth and yield with a little value to boot.
2. iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond (BATS:EMHY)
This ETF is a step down in risk from HYEM, mixing 60% sovereign debt with 40% high-yield corporate debt. In spite of less risk, investors are still rewarded with a solid 4.5% yield that handily beats the 10-year Treasury note, as well as investment-grade corporate bonds in the United States, which yield about 3.5%.
This is a new ETF as well, hitting the New York Stock Exchange in April. But in just six months, the average daily trading volume has risen to 27,000, while assets under management have jumped to $180 million. Fees of 0.65% are higher than the category average of 0.52%, but with limited choices in this space, only a few options are less expensive.
3. iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond (BATS:CEMB)
CEMB corresponds to the Morningstar Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Index. This index tracks a portfolio of bonds with an average credit quality of "BB" and offers diverse geographic exposure with South Korea, Brazil and India in the top 10 country holdings. After launching in April, this ETF is still growing in popularity, with average daily volume of just 6,000 contracts and total assets under management of $21 million. An expense ratio of 0.60% makes it the most expensive ETF of the three, but as more investors catch on to the potential of emerging-market high-yield corporate bonds, this ratio is bound to fall. This ETF boasts a healthy 3.5% yield.
Risks to Consider: High-yield corporate bonds are companies with lower credit ratings and leveraged balance sheets. This leverage is a great asset in a strong economy, but can create liquidity or even solvency issues when economic growth slows. These ETFs also have relatively low trading volume and assets under management, making it easier for big shareholders to affect the market.
Emerging markets are still in the early stages of a long-term growth cycle. So buying high-yield corporate bonds from emerging markets enables investors to lock in an outsized yield with the opportunity to enjoy big capital gains in the long run. Any of these three high-yield emerging-market bond ETFs are an awesome combination of growth and income that are worthy of a place in your portfolio.

With Phil Spector, if you look at POB there was no Wall of Sound at all. They took a very minimialistic approach to the production and the only way that could have been done was John and Yoko really controlling Phil. The next album Imagine I feel only has one song, I Don't Want to Be a Soldier which has a full blown Wall of Sound.
On the other hand ATMP, is a typical bombastic , Wall of Sound, Spectorfest where it was needed and it all worked even though George later felt it was over produced.
I wonder what Paul would have sounded like if he was Spectorised.

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest manufacturer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), said that it expected standardization of multi-layer hyper memory cube (HMC) DRAM solution by late 2012 and intends to begin production of such devices in 2013. The HMC are projected to break through a critical bottleneck called "memory wall" that has been blocking full utilization of multi-core, multi-threaded CPUs.
"We anticipate that the group will complete an industry-wide spec for the 1st phase of HMC by the end of 2012. Within a year or two after that, HMC products should begin to reach the market as an alternative to DRAM in HPC and network applications," said Jim Elliott, vice president of memory marketing at Americas.
Micron and Samsung are the founding members of the recenty formed hybrid memory cube consortium (HMCC), and will work closely with fellow developers Altera Corp., Open- Silicon and Xilinx to collectively accelerate industry efforts in bringing to market a broad set of technologies. The consortium will initially define a specification to enable applications ranging from large-scale networking to industrial products and high-performance computing.
One of the primary challenges facing the industry – and a key motivation for forming the HMCC – is that the memory bandwidth required by high-performance computers and next- generation networking equipment has increased beyond what conventional memory architectures can provide. The term "memory wall" has been used to describe the problem.
Breaking through the memory wall requires a new architecture that can provide increased density and bandwidth at significantly reduced power consumption. HMC capabilities are a leap beyond current and near-term memory architectures in the areas of performance, packaging and design efficiencies. By defining an industry interface specification for developers, manufacturers and architects, the consortium is committed to making HMC a successful new high-performance memory technology.
Intel Corp. demonstrated HMC at Intel Developer Forum in September, 2011. The Hybrid Memory Cube – which was jointly designed by Intel and Micron – demonstrates a new approach to memory design delivering a 7-fold improvement in energy-efficiency over today's DDR3. Hybrid Memory Cube uses a stacked memory chip configuration, forming a compact "cube", and uses a new, highly efficient memory interface which sets the bar for energy consumed per bit transferred while supporting data rates of 1Tb/s (one trillion bits per second). This research technology could lead to dramatic improvements in servers optimized for cloud computing as well as ultrabooks, televisions, tablets and smartphones.

I'd be curious to know if there is any Buddy's location, such as the original one, that is still using the original deck oven or replacement deck oven. Peter
Gene,I am still experimenting with how much time the dough needs to rise in the steel pans using different methods, including using my Hatco Unit to temper some doughs, so I am not really sure of what answer to give you. I can set the Hatco Unit (basically a pizza holding cabinet that can have heat and humidity) to different temperatures, but I still havent figured out what temperature to do that at either. At home with the last experiment I did with 1% IDY and a higher final dough temperature it took a shorter amount of time than I thought it would for the dough to temper in the steel pan. I still have a lot of experimenting to do at home and at market. I sure dont have all of this figured out yet.I agree with you if you can get your dough to rise in the steel pan in an hour, you are doing very well. I also agree with you that it is more efficient using an emergency dough like Buddys does, than trying to cold ferment a dough like I am trying to do for market. To answer your question about if an overnight dough tastes much better when it is baked, I cant say it does, but for me that might be the way I need to go, instead of trying to make emergency doughs. I am not sure what I am going to do yet. For me the flavors of the melted cheese, or cheeses, caramelized edges, soft and airy texture of the crumb, caramelized edges and crispy bottom crust is what I really like about the Buddys clone pizzas that turn out right for me.To answer your question if pizzerias used brick cheese instead of mozzarella for the taste, I would say yes. As I posted before a mild white cheddar and mozzarella blend also give the Buddys clone pizza almost the same taste as using brick cheese alone. The mild white cheddar does have a higher fat content like brick cheese. I am not sure if the brick cheese purchased though a foodservice is cheaper or not. I am wondering about cheese prices since I saw on the news about milk prices might really be going up. I really dont know what the prices of brick cheese are from a foodservice distributor. I havent found one yet in my area.What I am really trying to do is produce an old school Buddys pizza like when they baked in a deck oven, but I really dont know how they tasted back then, so really I might not achieve what I want.Are you planning on selling Buddys clone pizzas commercially in your area?Norma

I'm a commercial real estate broker in NYC. A couple of my customers expressed interest in starting a business with me. For me, it's decide what I want to do and then find a suitable location, but one of my partners owns/operates multiple concepts, so for him it's find a good location and then decide on a menu. He, like me, is from Detroit, so I'm sure he's open to offering Detroit style pizzas, but it depends on the location. The other two are the "money guys" (and have great experience and track records as food operators; I'm really a real estate guy), so they have the most say. If we find a great store that happens to be next to a pizza stand, then we probably wouldn't want to do pizza, too, but would offer something different, such as burgers or espresso. And so on. Not so easy finding a great space that three people will agree on!I showed what I think is a great cafe spot and showed it to another potential partner, who agreed with me, but I have to work with him on his own needs first and then the landlord is not eager to have a food use in the space (currently, it's a hair salon), so we have to convince the landlord, and even then, we might have to bid against other potential tenants. And then I have to bake a Detroit style pizza for my potential partner and see if he likes it...But if all the pieces fall into place, I would love to introduce Detroit style pizza to NYC. But I would be just as happy to introduce a Detroit style Coney Island hot dog, too: http://www.hollyeats.com/LafayetteConeyIsland.htm.
Norma,Those processing caps are a hoot, eh? Hypo allergenic too! Bob
Yep Bob, I also think those processing hats covering the pans are a hoot! Thanks for the idea. No stinging my fingers with rubber bands anymore.Norma
Do I cover the pans before or after I take the shower?
I wonder if anyone has heard of Singa's Famous Pizza ([ Anonymized URL Blocked ]), a popular chain in the area, though mostly outside Manhattan. What's unique about them, at least at the location I visited, is that they bake their pizzas in round cake pans and bake them in a deck oven. As I recall, they had only one size pizza.
Gene,I never heard of Singas Famous Pizza, but many pizzas are baked in pans in a deck oven.I do make Greek style pizzas at market with some pictures being at Reply 462 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,691.msg208300.html#msg208300 and other pictures of mine scattered throughout that thread and they are something like Detroit style pizzas. being they are made in a steel pan and the edges are caramelized and the bottom crust is crispy, but the texture of crumb from the same recipe I use for my NY style Lehmann dough doesnt get the same as the Buddys clone doughs. Another Reply 448 of mine was at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,691.msg196025.html#msg196025 That dough is also proofed in a pan. I use a round heavier steel pan for the Greek style pizzas. I really also like different recipes for Greek style pizzas in that thread, even though I dont use those recipes for my Greek style pizzas, because it is just easier to use my same Lehmann dough for those Greek style pizzas.I am not sure, but when I went to the House of Pizza, (near where I live) their pizzas might have been baked in a steel pan. A few pictures at Reply 1 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,17816.msg172578.html#msg172578I think there are many kinds of pizzas that are made in steel pans. I also made Sicilian pizzas in a steel pan like I posted at Reply 448 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,18281.msg206200.html#msg206200 and other places on that thread. Those Sicilian pizzas almost look like Detroit-style pizzas, but are also not as light in the texture of the crumb. I think the Sicilian pizzas I made are more like a Jets pizza, but dont really know since there was never a final dough formulation for a Jets pizza on the Jets thread. Norma
Gene,Whenever you like. Norma
I'm guessing it's because of the higher hydration? And then there's the crust.Gene
Jeff (jeff v) was kind enough to send me some Weyauwega brick cheeses to try on some Buddys clone pizzas. I received the Weyauwega mild brick cheese and the Weyauwega aged brick cheese today when I returned from market. Jeff had the Weyauwega brick cheese packaged very well and the brick cheeses arrived in very good shape.Thanks so much Jeff for sending me the Weyauwega brick cheeses to try on my Buddys clone attempts. I appreciate it very much what you did. I am looking forward to trying the Weyauwega brick cheeses on some Buddys clone attempts next Tuesday. The Nutrition Facts for the Weyauwega brick cheese are posted in the second picture.Norma
I wonder how long they age the one that costs twice as much.....
I would have thought you have tried aged brick already in your experiments Norma...learn something new everyday. I'm sure it will be quite different from what you've been doing and I hope it tastes/melts good for you.Good luck... Bob
Norma,It is really hard to kill a dough with a lot of yeast, especially one that is fermented for a relatively short period of time. If the fermentation period were several days, and assuming no added sugar in the dough, a point might be reached where the conversion of damaged starch to sugars by enzymatic performance could result in a dough that starts to collapse and produce a final dough with reduced height. Given your relatively short fermentation time, I was not particularly worried about the elevated room temperature, the extended warmup time and the elevated finished dough temperature that you experienced. But I wanted you to see for yourself how those factors would affect your dough, and to react to those factors. Eventually, you will want to develop a fixed protocol for making your Buddy's clone doughs for market, while adjusting as necessary to the many variables at market that can affect dough performance. But so long as you stay between the lines asw much as possible, I think you should be OK overall. BTW, did you use a 9-ounce dough ball or a 9.5-ounce dough ball? Either way, I do not think that the one percent increase in hydration was responsible for the elevated height in the final crust. I would credit the high-yeast, high-temperature environment. The brick cheese that jeff v sent you has a similar profile to the other brick cheese candidates that we have considered but with a bit more salt (as reflected by the increased sodium content). But the increase in salt should be imperceptible to the palate.Peter

Cramer Quick Take: News Corp is Resetting The Game
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of News Corp (NWSA) may be taking it on the chin of late, but Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Thursday that he's sticking with the company for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS on the promise of its proposed breakup.
Cramer said News Corp outlined three areas of weakness in its conference call: Italy, Australia and its Fox broadcast network. Fox has been having a tough time competing with the likes of ESPN in the lucrative sports world, but that all could change after News Corp splits itself up later this year and could potentially cobble together an international sports network to rival that of ESPN.
It may be wait and see for now, but Cramer said it will be a whole new ball game for News Corp after the split.

Topic: New addiction: Justin.tv
From the guys who brought you Kiko (that calender app): http://www.justin.tv/
Basic premise, Justin wears a head cam 24/7 and is connected to the net via an Ev-Do thinger when not at home... a camera is trained on him while he sleeps. You can chat live with Justin and his roommates when they're on the computer (I've been doing it for a few hours now since a late night TechCrunch post...).
Yes, this sounds like something from 1999, but the technology is a lot slicker... and it's relevant here because said technology is Rails powered.
Plus, you get an inside look at a Web 2.0 startup (they live in a building with a lot of other startup founders -- at one point last night Justin mentioned that the reddit guys live upstairs).

While the Kansas Legislature has not yet approved any laws specific with smart grid they have allowed for solar easement provision that allow parties to voluntarily enter into solar easement contracts. In 2009 it also established net metering for customers of investor-owned utilities in Kansas. (HB 2369) [2, 3]
Kansas Corporation Commission worked with residential and business demand side management as early as 1991 and thermal storage as early as 1992 and dealt with real-time pricing in 1999 Time-of-Use rates by 2000 for business customers and 2007 for residential customers. Prior to 2010 interruptible accounts were available to business customers as an alternative method of load management. [4, 5]
"In August 2007, the Kansas Corporation Commission decided not to adopt PURPA Standard 14 ("Time-Based Metering and Communications") as enacted in EPACT 2005. The Commission said that it should not mandate smart metering as that would be a "one size fits all" approach and could, as a result, disadvantage some utilities. Instead, the Commission encouraged voluntary pilot programs as the best vehicle for deploying smarting metering and TOU rates. Nonetheless, according to the August 2007 Order, "The Commission strongly encourages the development and implementation of pilot programs introducing smart metering and time-based rates, and time-based technology.""

Demand side management consists of load control of air conditioning systems that can receive the companies signal to cycle off during periods of peak usage.
Thermal storage is determined on a case by case basis by the company.
The real-time pricing is based on the company's marginal cost-based prices and provided to the customer eight hours in advance of the day the power flows.
Time-of-use or time of day rates break the cost for electricity into periods on a seasonal basis and sections within on-peak and off-peak for pricing.
Load management includes interruptible service schedules which offer a reduced cost for a company's ability to shed load for up to 4 hours a from June through August.

You are a computer user who is fed up with Windows. You heard about the marvels of Linux, you were impressed when someone actually ran this Linux Distro-thing from a CD, and your eyes glittered upon seeing the multiple desktops, the Compiz/Kwin effects, and the quantity of programs included in the OS. So, you are sure that you want it. With conviction, you ask your friend to install Linux and, in the process, several strange questions begin to hit you as karate chops. The most memorable, without any doubt, is:
-Do you want a dual boot?
(Dual, as in...two?) Dumbfounded, you ask yourself what "a dual boot" is while the image of a cat wearing, well, a pair of boots, pops up in your mind.
The Linux Jedi looks at the question marks in your eyes and, knowing that you are no Anakin Skywalker, decides that it is better to introduce you to the Way of the Penguin gradually. So now you know that you will be able to start your computer using either Windows or Linux by means of a special Kung-Fu move called "GRUB" and, after seeing the penguin in your system, Obi-Wan goes away until he becomes a lost dot in the distance. You are there, concentrating, left on your own to master every technique that you heard you were capable of and, to be honest, you can hardly wait.
You mastered the GRUB; Linux is right there on your screen. With your chest full of satisfaction, you decide that you want to practice some familiar saber moves. You browse the Web--by using Firefox, Chrome, or Konqueror-- and you see this wonderful picture of Tux that you want to keep. Thus, you download it and, a proud Padawan, you close the browser to look for your new image on your desktop, following your Windows training... WAIT A MINUTE! The file is missing! There's NOTHING on your desktop. With a little uneasiness, you think of a solution: to open "my computer" to look for your picture somewhere else...so you open the menu to discover that there is nothing like a "my computer" icon. With a paralyzing fear, you see the way-too-familiar face of Bill Gates on the screen. He is wearing a very appropriate Darth Vader helmet and extends his hand to you as he utters gravelly:
"I am YOUR FATHER"...
This is pretty much how I felt when I tried to locate my files in Mandriva the first time I used it, a year ago. As a desperate Luke, I ran away from Vader and stumbled on the home partition. Of course, I had absolutely no clue of what /home/ meant. I navigated the folder DOCUMENTS to see, well, nothing. So I went up a couple of levels. I found this red folder labeled ROOT and I said to myself "AHA! Now we are talking!" After opening several cryptic directories there (in which I found some funny-looking files with strange names and lots of empty folders with stranger names), I was completely baffled by this arcane puzzle. My Windows experience was that folders had to contain something. Why did Linux create so many empty directories? "Why is Linux so difficult?", I thought.
Then it hit me. LINUX IS NOT WINDOWS. If I wanted to locate anything, I had to understand the file structure of the system.
For those migrating Windows users that might feel like I did, this compass summarizes the basics.
Represented by / , this directory is YOUR SYSTEM. Do not do anything here until you know how to use your light saber appropriately, Jedi in training.
2. HOME (/home/you)
This is where your personal files are found in Linux. When you work in Linux, your documents, downloads, music, and videos will be stored here, inside a folder with your session name.
3. ETC (/etc)
Here, you will find system files that you will probably have to tweak to get certain things done in Linux. Again, stay away from this folder until you can handle the powerful light saber (konsole).
4. Media (/media)
This is important. If you plug in a USB drive, use a DVD, etc, your files will be found here. Your Windows partition is also mounted here, which means that you can access your Microsoft Office documents from this folder. But be careful; if you delete them in Linux, don't expect to find them in the Windows recycle bin.
With a little practice, you will be able to find your way in the Linux file structure and you will understand why it is so convenient. Then you will love Linux and you are going to see that, for computer standards, it is truly like using the Force!
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 /2014.2, Mageia 5, PCLinuxOS 2014.8, PicarOS, Pisi Linux 1, Elive beta, and AntiX 13.

Two thumbs up! That's by far the best account of the true experience of a migrant when facing Linux file structure for the first time!ResponderEliminar
Thanks! It is fun to remember, isn't it? My first impression was that I was never going to make it...and using the Linux file structure happened to be a lot easier than I had thought.ResponderEliminar
Easier and more fun! I always remember the broken glass sound Mepis used to play whenever I attempted to mess with the root files!ResponderEliminar

Spanish Tortilla
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup grated russet potato
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1/4 cup diced serrano ham
- 1 roasted red pepper, roughly chopped
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup grated manchego cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and onions and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Gently stir in the ham and peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a large bowl add the eggs and whisk until well blended. Stir in the grated cheese and mix to combine. Add the egg and cheese mixture to the pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir gently with a heat-proof spatula. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the egg begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Put the pan in the oven until eggs are set and slightly puffed and brown on top, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Transfer to a serving platter, cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

For more than 20 years I've been flying airplanes, 15 of them for an airline. As a student and a flight instructor, one skill I practiced repeatedly was the missed approach (or go-around for VFR flying). It's a critical task to be able to do in any possible landing configuration in any airplane. If you want proof, try doing one in a heavy Cessna 150 with 40 degrees of flaps on a hot day. It's a challenge, to say the least, and it requires a fair amount of finesse to do well. As an instructor, I probably did no fewer than five go-arounds or missed approaches on a given day. Any that were done for real were almost always done because the preceding traffic was still on the runway.
In airline flying, however, they are exceedingly rare. Controllers handle the spacing, and even when there is a snafu, the missed approach is almost always done in visual meteorological conditions, and it almost always starts from an altitude of 500 feet or above.
What is even more rare, though, is to do one because of weather. I can recall doing fewer than 10 for wind shear or a microburst that beat me to the airport. And I have only done two—two—because we could not see the runway. The first one was an ILS in low ceilings but with good visibility beneath in Charleston, West Virginia. In fact, we saw the runway on the go-around. We came back around and landed on the second try.
The most recently was in January 2012. I was flying the right seat with a simulator instructor in the left. Both of us were slightly out of our element. The weather everywhere that day had been lousy, and we'd already done three ILS approaches to minimums, including our previous leg into Cincinnati that morning. The weather was down to a ceiling of 100 feet and a reported visibility on Runway 18L of a half-mile with the runway visual range hovering at 2,400 feet. The previous aircraft got in, but the crew reported that it was awfully close. We quickly reviewed the missed approach procedure again and went over the calls.
Since I was the nonflying pilot on this leg, it was up to me to make the altitude calls, and it would be up to me to call for the missed approach if the captain did not see the approach lights or the runway. One thing that experience teaches you is that the color of the clouds changes fairly dramatically when you near the base and will break out. These clouds stayed battleship gray. Further, we were flying into the sun, which did not help. The radar altimeter told us when we were crossing the Ohio River. The river and its deep valley have a stark impact on the local weather, and today was no exception. There was no sign of the runway at 500 feet above the minimum descent altitude. No sign of it either at 200 feet or at 100 feet. At the MDA/decision height, I called missed approach. We never once saw the ground.
Normally, an airline crew going missed is all thumbs because of the lack of practice. This one, though, was right out of the book. We had to deal with a flurry of activity in the ensuing minutes as we planned our next course of action. The flight behind us also went missed, and the controllers immediately turned the airport around, which opened the Category II approach to Runway 36R; the RVR was down to 1,600 feet, and the ceiling was holding steady. Our immediate concern was whether or not we had the fuel to do another approach and still safely divert. A call to our dispatcher confirmed that several airports within close range had VFR weather. His fuel computations matched ours, so we decided to try it again.
They only procedure that is on par for me as an unseen runway is a Category II ILS. This was only my fourth one, and it was my first from the right seat (we fly the CAT II as a captain's-only maneuver). Being two miles from the top of the river valley made all the difference. We got the lights in sight just before reaching our DH, and in the blink of an eye, we had the runway in sight.
There is a lot of satisfaction in executing a difficult maneuver correctly, and a go-around can certainly qualify, especially with tail-mounted engines and wings with no slats. But the training and practice pay off, and that is critical when you are starting the maneuver so close to the ground that you might actually bounce. I haven't done that yet, so I can't help but wonder what it's like…—Chip Wright
