How to soften the blow of redundancy
The redundancy axe took a fresh swing last week when Barclays announced 1,800 job cuts in its corporate and investment bank in spite of soaring fourth-quarter revenues. It was just the latest to sever heads.
Flow monster Deutsche Bank said in July that it would cut 1,500 jobs from its investment bank; in October, Swiss giant UBS said it would give approximately 2,000 front-office investment bankers the heave-ho. While these are among the biggest, redundancies are happening across the board.
Investment banks routinely fast-track these mass exits using compromise agreements, according to Philip Landau, employment lawyer at Landau Zeffertt Weir Solicitors. In such an agreement, a bank pays a financial settlement to a departing employee and, in return, gets a binding agreement that the ex-employee will make no legal claims against it. A redundancy does not automatically call for such an agreement, but one is often used to protect the bank and terminate employment immediately, according to employment lawyers.
Hundreds of such arrangements are being used in the City on any one day, said Landau, who has drafted thousands of them. He said that the average settlement is up to six months' salary, but he once saw a payout of over £200,000. He said: "The longer your period of service and the higher your salary, the higher your termination payment."
Andrew Taggart, head of the UK employment team at law firm Herbert Smith Freehills, said the agreements help to protect a bank against claims of unfair redundancy by individuals who feel they have been unfairly selected for the axe.
Landau said: "A lot of employers use the compromise agreement route as a belt-and-braces position when they are implementing mainstream redundancies, just in case there is a failure of processes. He has seen a surge in compromise agreements from investment bankers, ever since the present economic climate has taken hold.
For the departing employee, once the terms of the settlement are agreed and signed, there is no going back, so it is worth negotiating hard to get the best deal, lawyers said.
Andrew Young, employment solicitor at law firm Seddons, said departees can negotiate the compromise agreement. He said: "Everything is up for negotiation."
Here is a guide on how to get the best out of your compromise agreement.
1 Keep the tax man at bay
The first £30,000 of severance pay will be tax-free if it "compensates for loss of office". However, if, for whatever reason, the UK HM Revenue & Customs decides that tax should have been deducted, the bank might try to claw the tax back from the employee. Those made redundant should scrutinise agreements to ensure no clauses make them liable for tax or other costs or penalties.
2 Read the bonus fine print
Bankers must ensure they are named as a "good leaver" to release their stock, and should watch out for the agreement being "in full and final settlement of all claims – including bonus". For the employee, this means extracting as much money as allowed by your contract from the bank at the time of departure. For the bank, it means staff can make no future claims for bonuses.
3 Try to take your clients with you
Some banks will try to impose post-termination restrictions or vary existing covenants in a work contract to prevent bankers taking clients with them, poaching employees or joining a rival firm. Taggart said: "These types of restrictions are generally drafted to last between three and 12 months after the employment has ended." These measures could effectively take bankers out of the market place for many months after they have left, Landau said. But bankers do not have to accept new restrictions and can ask to vary or even waive the existing ones in their work contracts.
4 Get a glowing reference
Most banks will provide at least a standard reference, with the minimum basic information such as dates of employment and job title. Bankers should make sure any reference is attached to the compromise agreement and includes a clause that no oral references will be given that paint them in a less than favourable light. Bankers should also push for a non-derogatory clause to ensure that the bank cannot denigrate them, and even name specific individuals such as a direct line manager to be bound by the clause.
5 Help with fees, please
Most banks routinely offer those made redundant a selection of lawyers and should help with legal fees, anywhere from £250 to £500. Banks have a set list of lawyers who help to draft compromise agreements and can help the departing employee through the process. However, Young said: "I would say get your own lawyer; look after your own interests."
6 Take time to sign on the dotted line
A bank will give a deadline to sign the agreement, but this is actually quite flexible as long as bankers are seen to be seeking legal advice and not causing delays. Departing employees do not need to accept an agreement if the deadline is unrealistic. But they should fix a deadline for when they get their settlement, including pay in lieu of notice, outstanding holiday, redundancy pay and any other extra sums of money.
-- UK rules will change in favour of the banks
While compromise agreements are now largely used during mass redundancies, new UK laws due to come into effect this summer will make it easier for banks to use them to sever underperforming employees from the organisation too.
Compromise agreements will be re-named "settlement agreements" under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill, which has been passed by the House of Commons and is before the House of Lords, according to a government spokeswoman.
Currently, an employer cannot offer an employee a compromise agreement out of the blue unless they are in a formal dispute process, because the employee can use that discussion as evidence in an unfair dismissal claim.
Under the new laws, a bank will be able to have a "protected conversation" about a compromise agreement, even where there is no formal dispute, and be assured that conversation will not be cited in any unfair dismissal claim. Sarah Henchoz, employment partner at Allen & Overy, said that the new law will almost certainly work in favour of the banks. She said: "It will be easier for managers to have that initial discussion at an earlier stage without fear of it being used against them at tribunal. They can have these conversations with a bit more vigour."

Posting this here so I know KMs will see it: Hallo KMs!
Kata and I had a Front of House pow-wow today, looking at what we can do to get some new fundraising-related posters and banners and stuff happening. There'll be a few things we'll be trying to do over the next few weeks, though we'll be looking for more help to get everything done. But one thing we talked about is overcoming the weird problem where people think we're closing or somehow not doing events still: we're working on a sort of "FOREST LIVES!" slogan for stuff, and finding ways to promote what we're doing and seem really vibrant as part of the fundraising drive.
Anyway, to get to the point: the sandwich board! The thing that says what we do and has space to chalk an event on it. Kata and I wanted to make sure it gets out every day and actually promotes what's going on. It does seem to be out about half the time, but sometimes it seems to be hiding. We were wondering if it could be part of opening up every day to make sure it goes out (if it isn't already) with an events message on it? Let's show off! (Kata and I are also going to try and find someone to bottom-line getting the tall thin chalkboards outside updated with weekly events too.)

Hypoglycemia, typically referred to as low blood sugar, may result from several different diseases or infections in both dogs and cats. The term "low blood sugar" refers to a deficiency of glucose in the blood and can result in weakness, lack of energy, collapse or even seizures in pets affected by it.
Pets may experience low blood sugar for a variety of reasons. For example, severe liver disease, Addison's disease in dogs, bacterial infections, pancreatic tumors, and inadequate nutrition in young small breed puppies or kittens can all result in low blood sugar. If your dog or cat is showing any of the clinical signs of this problem, VCA Animal Hospitals recommends that you take the animal in to a veterinary clinic to have testing for low blood sugar.
A blood glucose measurement on a serum biochemistry profile will reveal to the veterinarian exactly how much glucose is in your pet's blood. It is important to document several readings to confirm the diagnosis of persistent hypoglycemia before making a confirmed diagnosis and starting a thorough diagnostic workup. Since the presence of low blood sugar is usually related to an underlying medical problem, the workup usually involves full bloodwork, xrays or possibly ultrasound and other specialized blood tests depending on your pets other clinical signs and your vets suspicion of the underlying cause.

Skip to comments.SCOTUS: Oral Arguments on Same-sex marriage today [Live Thread] (Audio available by 2:00 ET)
Posted on 03/26/2013 10:05:42 AM PDT by BuckeyeTexan
click here to read article
I apologize for the choppiness of the article. I wanted to get an update to you before the audio is available.
FReepmail me to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the SCOTUS ping list.
Thanks, looking forward for more updates.
Is that 1:00 California time?
"Oral arguments." Perhaps a poor choice of words.
Nope. That's what they're called.
The will of the people only counts when it goes the way liberals want it to go.
Eastern time since SCOTUS is in D.C.
P.S. Kagan and Roberts should recuse themselves for conflict of interest!
As a refresher,
What is exactly 9th court decision on Prop 8?
We all know how this will end.
Sotomayer, Kagan, and Ginsburg plus not a single protestant on the US Supreme Court.
FWIW, my impression of the quotes I've seen from the discussion on standing is that there is a serious legal question as to whether or not the defendants have the right to be heard in federal court.
If the court dismisses this case on the basis of standing, that would leave in place the 9th Circuit decision overturning Proposition 8.
Chief Justice Roberts seems firmly on the side that standing should not be granted. As usual, Justice Kennedy made statements that could go either way.
The lawyer defending Prop 8 should demand that if the justices intend to strike down the law that they strike down all laws banning any kind of marriage. You can't rule that one kind of marriage must now be accepted and any other type be excluded. Any and every type relationship must be given equal status as well by the Gay and Lesbian's rational. While they're at it, demand the tax code reflect their ruling as well. No more deductions and different rates that don't apply to every one. Either every one has them and pays the same rate or it's unconstitutional.
The 9th Circuit overturned Prop. 8 and struck down the ban on gay-marriage.
This is the stupidest argument for gay marriage, and it doesn't surprise me it comes from Breyer, since Souter is no longer there to be the village idiot.
Why don't we allow brothers and sisters to marry, or close relations? Precisely because of the harm if they should have children. But, according to Breyer, many marriages don't have children, so clearly there is no rational basis to deny brothers and sisters the "right" to marry.
And since the concept of traditional marriage is that you get married, and THEN have children,and not the other way around, under the "Breyer" standard marriage makes no sense, because NOBODY WHO GETS MARRIED has children at the time they get married.
In reality, the point of marriage WAS to have children. There were few people getting married simply to guarantee themselves a partner. That some people can't have kids is of no consequence -- most can. That some people choose not to is of no consequence -- most do. And that marriage doesn't always work out the way government had intended, doesn't mean marriage has to be modified in a way that guarantees that it won't work the way government intends.
Since there is no way to guarantee that a particular couple WILL HAVE CHILDREN before you grant the license, in the history of the world up until now, marriage has been defined precisely in the way that was most likely to lead to the outcome. So, we don't let brothers and sisters marry. We don't let same-sex couples marry.
Frankly, there is no particular reason for the state to recognize the marriage of two people who are past childbearing age. But marriage has always been allowed between unrelated men and women.
Even in our darker history, the rules are based on children -- we didn't allow mixed-race marriages NOT because we were concerned about a white guy having sex with a black woman, but because of irrational fear of mixed-race children.
The bad part of the rest of this summary of the oral arguments is that most of them have nothing to do with what the court is SUPPOSED to be deciding -- NOT whether it makes sense to ban gay marriage or allow it, but whether the constitution REQUIRES that two people of the same sex be allowed to get government sanction for "marriage".
Roberts might be right that they don't usually allow this, but it makes no sense to call for a lack of standing.
If the PEOPLE of a state have the right to amend their constitution, which they clearly do in California, then the PEOPLE of the state should directly have standing to defend their constitutional amendment against claims that it violates the federal constitution.
Oddly, given that Roberts went out of his way to give deference to the legislative branch in his Obamacare ruling, I would expect that he would reject the constitutional question here, and let the congress have it's way. And I would expect he would cite all the recent "We are for gay marriage" pronouncements by elected representatives as a clear indication that there is nothing stopping the congress, or a state, from approving gay marriage if they want.
... And that is based on the current SC. We could have several retirements over the next few years. Most major media, educational and political institutions except the house will be controlled by liberals. And the house has weak RINO leadership and controlled by fear.
>>> On the subject of how same-sex marriage harms traditional marriage, Justice Elena Kagan asked, "How does this cause and effect work?"
If I say what I want to say, I will be banned.
He didn't.
While I believe that gay-marriage is legally a states' rights issue, my Christian faith leaves me firmly against the idea. So as a Christian, I was somewhat disappointed in Cooper's defense because he refrained from a direct attack on gay marriage. As a states' rights advocate, I appreciated the fact that he tried to convince the court that important, democratic, timely, public debate should continue as is with various states banning and allowing gay marriage.
Agreed. Again.
There was a particulary "funny" exchange between Scalia and Kagan on this subject.
The two women are , no question. I am convinced that Roberts is homosexual as well.
The two women are , no question. I am convinced that Roberts is homosexual as well.
I'm not disagreeing with your reasoning, but a caller to Rush, and Rush himself, just got through saying that if the 9th circus granted standing to an entity that didn't deserve it and heard the case and ruled, that the entire proceeding of the 9th circus could be invalidated, which would leave in place prop 8.
I don't know. I'm quoting what I heard. Rush said this is one reason for a lot of confusion in this case.

Felatious arguments?
Yes, but the 9th Circuit granted standing and so did a lower court. One of those rulings will prevail as I understand legal experts. (I am assuming that each court grants or denies standing for itself.) But ... IANAL! :)
Maybe LL will share what he thinks, legally speaking.
??? Too much twisted reasoning for my taste.
"Regular folks" would not have come to the same conclusion.
The CA State AG really is the source of the standing issue.
After Prop 8 was passed and became part of the CA Constitution, the 9th Circuit [actually just 1 judge] overturned it. BTW: The judge who overturned it is gay ...
The CA AG then declined to appeal it - something he is SUPPOSED to do for the people. Prop 8 proponents then went to the CA Supreme Court and it found that they did have standing when the CA AG declines.
Prop 8 proponents then went to the 9th Circuit and asked for an en banc hearing. It declined and pooch-punted it directly to SCOTUS.
If the CA AG had stood up for the people and appealed, like he is supposed to do, standing would not be an issue at SCOTUS today.
Chicago Tribune: Supreme Court wary of broad ruling endorsing gay marriage
LA Times: Supreme Court appears split on Prop. 8, broad gay marriage ruling
Washington Post: Supreme Court justices conflicted on gay marriage case
Fox News: Justices indicate interest in narrow ruling on gay marriage
USA Today: Supreme Court justices question gay marriage bans
ABC News: Supreme Court Justices Struggle With Federal Right to Gay Marriage
I fear for this country. We are indeed as Judge Bork pointed out, "Slouching Towards Gomorrah". We have become a nation not of laws but of "judges in black robes". What the people think is only preliminary. Our votes mean nothing until some "court" says so.
From the Fox News article:
Chief Justice John Roberts told Olson that it seemed supporters of gay marriage were trying to change the meaning of the word "marriage" by including same-sex couples.
Interesting. Didn't see that coming from Roberts.
Thank God for Scalia.
And Thomas. The two of them are a triumph for conservatives. Brilliant legal minds and conservative.
That came to mind. :0)
Standing is an element of subject-matter jurisdiction (if the plaintiff or appellant lacks standing, there is no "case or controversy" and the case cannot be heard in federal court). So, even if the parties do not raise the issue, SCOTUS will always decide for itself if there is standing at the SCOTUS level, and can review the lower courts' decisions as to standing.
If SCOTUS decides that the appellants lack standing, it can either dismiss the appeal (which will leave the 9th Circuit's decision in place in California, but without any precedential impact on other states), or it can decide that there never was standing even in the lower courts (which will wipe out the lower court decisions). Either way, the Court would avoid a ruling on the merits of gay marriage. That seems to be what Kennedy wants to do: he does not want to be the 5th vote to decide the constitutionality of gay marriage either way. My guess is that he is personally in favor of gay marriage but he would prefer to have it enacted by voters and legislatures rather than imposed by the courts.
BIG Question:
Kennedy has suggested NOT ruling at all at this time.
Normally, if there is no majority opinion from SCOTUS AFTER VOTING, the PREVIOUS 9th Circuit ruling applies, in which case, Prop 8 would be overturned and gay marriage would be legal [for CA only].
My question is whether the 9th Circuit's ruling would stay in place [overturning Prop 8] OR because SCOTUS failed to rule, would the 9th Circuit's ruling be vacated and the CA Supreme Court's ruling apply?
In this scenario, SCOTUS DOES NOT rule either FOR or AGAINST - and in fact, DOES NOT RULE AT ALL, so, in THIS case, does the 9th Circuit's ruling stand? Can a lower court's constitutional ruling stand even IF SCOTUS has decided NOT TO RULE AT ALL after it has heard the case?
FYI: The CA Supreme Court ruled Prop 8 constitutional, but allowed previous gay marriages to remain in place ...
Because we have the most LEFTIST-ACTIVIST SCOTUS of all time. At least half of them are political operatives for 0bama. The complete lack of liberals' ability to place the dictates of our Constitution above that of their own personal wishes is perhaps the gravest threat the judicial branch poses to our Republic.
Thank you. That explains the standing issue in this case much better for me.
Breyer seems to think that the petitioners do not have standing in federal courts but do in state courts.
He said that 40 states have what is called a public action where any citizen can bring action to "vindicate the interest in seeing the law enforced." He then went on to say that historically the court has ruled that such cases do not belong in the federal system.
So if the court ruled that the petioners do not have standing in any federal court, that would overturn the 9th Circuit and uphold the CA Supreme Court, correct?
See Lurking Libertarian's explanation immediately above your post.
SCOTUS can determine that the petitioner (opponents of gay marriage in this case) have no standing before SCOTUS or have no standing in any federal court, including the 9th Circuit.
I am waiting on his reply to whether or not SCOTUS can decide that the petitioner did not have standing before the CA Supreme Court.
Your time in answering questions is very much appreciated, as usual, FRiend. :)
(Please don't bill me. Heh.)
Sounds like the SCOTUS is finding an 'out' to avoid ruling on this matter. Cowards.
Because some loony people think Roberts is gay. No wonder people make fun of conservatives. We try to do a "is he gay" witch hunt.

One Source of Truth: Mastering Data Integration
Everyone wants to turn raw stats into knowledge in real time—but how do you do that if you don't have a handle on the data itself? Imagine a company that manufactures steel widgets and provides online sales to the public and bulk wholesale to major suppliers. A customer orders some widgets online and pays with a credit card. When the customer receives the product, the final bill is different from the quote given during the purchase, resulting in more money is charged to the credit card. It turns out that the price of the item on the customer front end is less than the actual cost on the back-end billing system.
The problem could have been avoided with a single data record for widget prices that's referenced by both the front- and back-end systems. Seems like a no-brainer, and in fact, a whole industry has emerged to offer IT ways to deal with authoritative data sources. In this report, we'll discuss the concept of "master data" and ways to make it work for you, not against you. (S3050711)

Rated 3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by mdaby3 easy enough Easy enough to put together, easy enough to use. Make sure you wear shoes! And make sure that the chair you're sitting in is stable. November 17, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Sharon Torture Machine I consider myself to be in fairly good shape as I exercise quite regularly and hike hills almost daily, however, I was no match for this machine and had to return it for another. The minimum tension was so difficult, I found it not very useful or incentivizing. Also, I believe foot straps might help, but the tension really should be adjusted so there is a gentle warming up stage. January 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by cmu2004 Great value Really enjoy the fact that I can move it from room to room and takes way less space than a traditional elliptical. Very fun to use. December 27, 2014

In spite of a Boston Marathon scare, Jeannie Rice will race for the gold in July�s National Senior Games 5K road race
Name: Jeannie Rice Age: 65 Event(s): Road Race 5K Jeannie Rice, 65, trains with a group of men nearly half her age. Most of the time, though, this Cleveland, Ohio real estate agent is not lagging behind�she�s leading the pack. �They call me the �machine,�� Jeannie says with a laugh. �When you�re running long distances, your mind has to take over at some point. You�ve got to be tough.� �Running machine� is certainly an apt term for the grandmother, who has 89 marathons under her belt and bids to complete her 100th marathon by the end of next year. This July, Jeannie will compete in the National Senior Games 5K Road Race in Cleveland. Jeannie is determined to take home the gold at the event. �If somebody can beat me, that�s great. But I would like to win�that�s my ultimate goal. I�m naturally very competitive,� she says. Jeannie wasn�t introduced to the sport of running until she turned 35. Growing up in Seoul, Korea, a culture that discouraged girls from participating in athletics, Jeannie had never so much as kicked a ball when she relocated to the United States at age 19. Jeannie started jogging in the early 80s to lose a few extra pounds. In 1984, a mere year after she started running, she competed in her first marathon in Cleveland, crossing the finish line in 3 hours and 45 minutes�a respectable time by any runner�s standards. �I didn�t realize at the time that I had a talent. But it was a natural gift, because I�ve been running ever since then,� Jeannie says. This year alone, Jeannie has already knocked out four marathons, including the 2013 Boston Marathon in April, in which three runners died and countless more were injured from a bombing attack. Jeannie was one of the lucky ones who crossed the finish line before the bombs went off, clocking in at 3 hours and 38 minutes, which put her first in her age division. She was yards away from the site of the bombings. �We heard a loud explosion, and then someone screamed �Run!� and we all just started running. We were terrified. We didn�t know what was going on,� Jeannie recalls. The experience was jarring, but Jeannie won�t let it deter her from her running goals. �You�ve just got to keep going,� Jeannie says, who is keeping her sights set on Cleveland. Jeannie knows that her biggest fans�her grandchildren�will be on the sidelines, cheering her on every step of the way. �They always come with a big sign,� Jeannie says. After the Games, Jeannie hopes to compete in more marathons across the world. One thing is for certain, though: this running machine won�t be slowing down anytime soon. �I�m not ready to quit just yet,� Jeannie says. �I�ll just keep going and going as long as my body allows.� CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO THE STORY Brought to you by: Spry - Healthy Living and Wellness for Women

Pisgah Mountain
DescriptionThe Pisgah Mountain Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) lies on the border of Box Elder and Cache Counties, about 1.5 km north of Mantua, Utah. Mount Pisgah (7100 feet) is one of the higher elevations, and most of the higher elevations are along the county boundary. On the westside are elevations reaching 6600 feet on the eastside 5200 feet. Dry Canyon enters the CWMU at 5200 feet and peaks at 5800 feet at Sardine Summit. A road in McMudie Hollow in the north forming the unit boundary ranges from 5000 feet to 5600 feet.
Over forty percent of the Pisgah Mountain Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit land cover (44%) is classified as Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland. This Ravine Woodland is distributed over the entire CWMU. Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) covers 24% of the unit. This sagebrush steppe is distributed like the Ravine Woodland throughout the unit. Another land cover contributor is an invasive, Invasive Perennial Grassland (119). It covers about 8% of the CWMU, some in the northeast and some in the middle-south.
One of the Pisgah Mountain Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, BRIGHAM CITY WASTE (420928), is 5.4 km east of the east edge of the CWMU. BRIGHAM CITY WASTE has thirty-four (34) years of records, 1974 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 4.68 inches, but it can be as high as 13.72 inches or as low as 0.60 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 19 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 11 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 3 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. There is also 1 day with precipitation greater than or equal to 1.00 inch. Snowfall during the FALL averages 2.9 inches but can be as high as 29.0 inches. FALL temperature at BRIGHAM CITY WASTE averages 50.4 degrees F. but can be as high as 96.0 degrees F. or as low as -1.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 34 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 3 day above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary.

Danny Boys. there are several in the NE Ohio area. I usally go to the one in Sandusky.
Thanks Norma thats exactly what I was looking for. I guess I need to get my butt in the kitchen and get busy
Norma;Pizza on a biscuit dough.....this reminds me of the old (dating myself here) Chef Boyardee (SP) pizza mix. As a kid I thought it was great, just add water to the dough portion of the mix and stir, then turn out onto a floured surface and form to about the size of your pan, place the dough into your greased pan and finish by pushing the dough into the corners and sides of the pan, then pull the dough slightly up the sides of the pan. Open the sauce pouch and apply to the dough surface, then apply the supplied cheese. Anybody else remember those days? Probably not the best pizza in town, but it worked in the moment at the time.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Hi Norma;There aren't many of us that either go back that far, or can remember back that far, much less partook in such a gourmet delight!You probably remember TV Time Popcorn too.Tom Lehmann/TDD

No portion of the electric power grid has been impacted more significantly by the Smart Grid concept than the electric distribution system. In the past, the distribution portion of the system received little attention compared to transmission and generation systems unless the lights went out. Since the dawn of the smart grid era, many electric distribution utilities have transitioned from (or are in the process of transitioning from) a mostly manual, paper-driven business process to electronic computer and communication-based decision support and control systems. At the center of attention is the Distribution Management System (DMS), which will almost certainly play a major role in the future as smart grid roadmaps become reality.
This report explains how electric utilities can successfully plan, implement and use DMS effectively to accomplish the desired objectives. This report provides a roadmap that electric distribution utilities can use as a guide in performing key DMS implementation activities starting with project inception to DMS contract award.

What style of pizza are you planning on making?
im just an average guy , i live in READING, PA. grew up in brooklyn NYC and had the best pizza there! now i try to replicate my memories of these pizzas at home! look forward into growing with the community!
... I generally point people towards Sam's if they don't have access to commercial flours....
Marie, it depends on who you ask I think Norma has access to Occident, although she uses Kyrol for her production dough, so that implies that she prefers Kyrol.
My Sam's doesn't have any high gluten anything. The general population here is more interested in tortilla flour than anything else.
I didn't really play around with the Occident flour enough to know if I like it better than Kyrol or not. I think I recall that Dave also liked Occident flour.
Norma, how's the tenderness on the Kyrol? Do you ever wish it was just the tiniest bit more tender?

There's starting to be a sense that there's a moral issue about degradation of the environment."ways of looking at the world, including religion. For instance, on the issue of climate change, many of the world's religions have come out with statements about the urgency of climate change because of its effects on the poor and on those most vulnerable — for instance, in Bangladesh and in small island nations like Tuvalu, where people are already being evacuated [because of rising sea levels]. So this is not just an issue that involves science — it is an issue that involves ethics and religion.
Each religion is developing its own language around this ethical responsibility."the 1950s and '60s. And there's starting to be a sense now that there's a moral issue about degradation of the environment, that there is something here that's larger than us, something that's given birth to all life forms and sustains us. And if we degrade that, it's to the degradation of future generations. So there's an inter-generational ethic here. And there's a new emerging ethic of responsibility to people in other parts of the world who are suffering from our actions with things like climate change, which is affecting people along coastal waters.
If life emerged over billions of years, what is our responsibility for its continuity?"Amazon, and on the Mississippi, and he has convened [environmental summits with] very high-level people from the UN, from the EU, ministers of environment, and high-level scientists from around the world. And [in 2002], he issued a joint statement with Pope John Paul II about the shared Christian responsibility to safeguard the environment and spoke about what was happening as crimes against creation...

Buttermilk Roast Chicken
Recipe courtesy of Nigella Lawson
- Nigella Express
Buttermilk chicken has long been one of my favourite alfresco summer suppers. My method of choice has usually been to spatchcock/butterfly[ a chicken - or rather, many chickens - and then cut them into feisty quarters to layer up on serving plates. I've altered this to make cooking speedier and conveying easier, by starting off with drumsticks.]
- 12 chicken drumsticks (approximately 3 pounds total weight)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, bruised and skins removed
- 1 tablespoon crushed peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon Maldon salt, sea salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large freezer bag, and add the buttermilk and 1/4 cup of oil.
Add the bruised garlic cloves to the bag with the crushed peppercorns and salt.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin and finally add the maple syrup, and then squish everything in the freezer bag around to mix the marinade and coat the chicken.
Leave the buttermilk marinated chicken in the fridge ideally overnight or out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Take the chicken pieces out of the bag shaking off the excess marinade, and then arrange them in a roasting tin lined with foil.
Drizzle over the 2 remaining tablespoons of oil, and then roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until brown, even scorched in parts, and juicily cooked through.

IRLP/EchoLink Weather Net – Via James (Jim) Langille, VE1JBL
I just want to let you know about a fairly new net on Saturday nights called the Weather Radio Listeners Newsletter Net. It is hosted by Gordon Maybee, VA3WXA out of Toronto. It begins at 8pm Atlantic, 7pm Eastern on IRLP Reflector 9034 and if you have a computer, Echolink node 223557. It has information about Weather Radio and also CANWARN. It will also include weather warnings across Canada and power outages. We are trying to make this a Cross Canada Net to include all provinces and Territories.We are looking for station from Québec to participate as we do not have any stations checking in from there yet.
We are looking for stations who are interested in weather to take part. If you have a weather station, you can report your findings at your QTH or if you have any local severe weather going on, you can report on that.
For more information about the net, go to The Maritime Amateur website http://www.maritimeamateur.ca/ and click on CANWARN. Once there, click on CANWARN news where you will find articles on this net. Here is the direct link: http://www.freewebs.com/ve1jbl/canwarnnews.htm

Did a search on 'double up'...couldn't think of any other way to describe it. Must have been some other threads espousing this idea before, but I can't think of how to search for them.
Was thinking about how it is said many of the top quality, old tree teas can give up to 10 or more infusions. But the later infusions typically are much milder and can taste somewhat dilute/watery.
It is said multiple infusions show a variety of flavors as the tea 'opens' up.
Say you have as larger teapot, and you get to that point where the infusions are getting weaker and weaker.
I had a thought, if I start with a smaller amount of leaves, then brew up several infusions until most of the bitterness/caffeine is gone, leaving that later infusion buttery/salty quality (at least for oolongs...depends on the oolong, but most give that quality in some degree)...but starting to get dilute/watery.
Do any of you try adding or 'doubling up' the teapot with the same amount of new tea leaves to add back in the complexities/qualities of the early infusions and also give you some of the late infusions flavor profiles?
It's different, you combine both the qualities of the early infusions which I like, but also get the qualities I like of the later infusions mixed together. Kind of like Champagne blending technique using the same Chardonnay grape, but from vineyards that give differing qualities of grapes due to micro-climate differences, imho...not the same thing as mixing in two different types of teas, that would be more like blending multiple varietal red grapes as in Chateauneuf du Pape.
I like doing that sometimes. Sure I could just start with 2x as much leaves, and I've done that plenty of times when I want a really stronger flavor cup---but that's a different experience.
Suppose the idea is sacrilegious for more expensive teas, like high-end Dan Cong, but for the less expensive Dan Cong> it's and interesting way to approach tea drinking.
