Cramer: Time to Adjust, Not Sell Out
NEW YORK ( Real Money ) -- People are more worried here than they let on. That's my take. I think that people believe that we shouldn't be up for the year or that we should give back much of what we have made, because Europe has suddenly gone awry, China is reining in its real estate market, and sequestration is going to ding us.
Look, we've had a huge run. We have a lot of parabolic charts. Earnings season is over, and now we are stuck with macro such as the horrible Philly Fed number coupled with old Fed minutes that sound particularly wrong-headed to some. As I wrote early this morning , the simple thing to say is "Sell everything." I heard someone actually say it today.
But to me, as someone who has now written forever about the markets, I ain't going to say "sell everything" unless I think we are going down 15% to 20%. I wouldn't even say it if we were going down 10%, because I have no confidence whatsoever that I can get you back in down there. It would be in a blink of an eye, and I won't have the game to do it.
I think that the economic signals are now mixed. When you run up 8% in a straight line, you can't have mixed economic signals. They have to be all-systems-go just enough to make it so that earnings estimates can be raised but not enough that Ben Bernanke panics and tightens.
That's a real tightrope.
We didn't walk it.
But that doesn't mean we are going to fall 100 floors to our deaths.
It means that we are going to get a scraping until we pull back enough to equal the mixed data.
Believe me, if Europe or China were just a little bit better, we wouldn't see this commodity selloff, and we wouldn't be walloped like we have been.
But Europe has turned a little bit worse, and China is confusing.
The U.S. is pretty much the same, except for sequestration, but I have already started to hear the nonsense about the impact and how it could be really horrendous. If you disagree with that, you are regarded as callous, insensitive and tone deaf.
So we have to readjust from mostly good data to mostly mixed data. That's what's happening. That's why I like to fall back on the good themes so there is a place to go into the weakness rather than just spreading myself really thin and betting that everything returns to where it was.

Flight to London
We purchased the plane tickets early enough that we able to book a fantastic itinerary. When you travel a lot and have to compete right after travel, things like your itinerary make a big difference. For this flight, we were scheduled to leave Colorado Springs at about 6:20pm, connect in Denver, and take the direct from Denver to London arriving at just after 11am. Any time you can get to Europe in less than 12 hours door to door, you have a great itinerary. So I have been looking forward to this flight more than I typically do.
The agent in Colorado Springs told me I had a great chance of receiving a free upgrade on the flight to London. The only thing better than a fast itinerary is a fast itinerary where you get upgraded to business class. Because I am now a Premier Executive on United, something I earned by flying nearly 60,000 miles last year, I often get upgraded if the flights are full. However, my hopes were dashed when I checked in in Denver and was told I would not be getting upgraded this flight. Oh well, can't win them all...
I was able to use my United status to board the London flight early, giving me time to unpack my carryon and settle in before the crowds hit. As I boarded the plane, the flight crew was there greeting people. Still a little disappointed that I had not made the cut for an upgrade, I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings. That is until one of the flight attendants turned to me and said "hey, you're that pentathlon guy." Boy was I surprised! I've been flying a lot the last few years, but I have never been recognized by an international flight crew. Turns out, I flew this attendant's flight back from London in April. I'm pretty outgoing and spent about an hour hanging out in the galley talking with the crew. Airline crews have a tough and thankless job and are largely underappreciated, so I always try to befriend them given the opportunity. Anyway, this guy was one of the flight attendants and remembered me from that flight.
After getting seated, the flight attendant came and found me in my seat, and asked where I was going. Then he came and brought another attendant over and introduced her to me. We talked for a little bit until the flight started to fill up.
After takeoff, the second flight attendant came around and proudly told me she was training for her first triathlon. We talked a little while longer, and then she again had to get back to work.
A while later, she returned manning the drink cart. I received small consolation prize for missing the upgrade, my own bottle of water and a complimentary glass of wine. So no seat upgrade for me this trip, but my new and old flight attendant friends made sure to give me business class service even if I was assigned Economy Plus.

Drum roll please!!!!! My very first Bluebird Tea Co. Order! Yumm!
I'm really excited to get some new additions to my Depression Glass set: 6 cups, 4 sherbet plates, and 2 saucers. More place settings for tea parties!
I also received my Tao of Tea order:
1oz Earl Grey Blue Flower
1oz Earl Grey
1oz Smoked Earl Grey
1oz 500 Mile Chai
Thank you!
The greens and pinks are a lot more common, but several patterns were produced in cobalt. Aurora, Moderntone, American Sweetheart, Mt. Pleasant, Newport, and Royal Lace are some of the most prominent, although I've only seen most of them in books and on eBay.
I've been going to antique stores and malls since elementary school (my father used to collect) and the only cobalt patterns I've come across are Moderntone and maybe Mt. Pleasant.
What are your favorite patterns?
I got my first gaiwan! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heat-resistant-Mouth-blown-Clear-Glass-Gaiwan-160ml-/290550504689?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a628dcf1 (Yeah, I could have bought a ceramic one from a local Asian shop for half the cost, but I wanted glass so I can see the leaves as they steep.)
Now I'm really going to have to start cracking into my oolongs & Verdant teas.
Got my Persimmon Tree order today!!!! My very first one!!! These guys are amazing! They were great with communication about a delay in my order because of an out of stock product. But luckily for me they had it restocked just in time for my order to ship and even included 2 extras for the inconvenience! Very customer service oriented. Here is it!
I got a 1oz Tin of white guava and a little bag of rock sugar for free as well!
I also got my swap from DanielleOz in the mail today! Yay!!!
Cute! I like those sample packs! And that's great customer service. Thanks for letting others know. (Makes me want to support them more, but I'll wait until I get my samples).
I have never been able to see a flickr photo when people post them of their tea. I assumed they were dead links but I guess it's just me. Do I need an account to view them or something? I want to see all the sweet tea! :)
This link might help you!
Verdant's order + reserve club arrived on the same day. :)
Also, the first successfull tea foto I have made:)
Great photo, Zeks!! I'm so happy to see these all arriving safely.
thx:) I am rather surprised at the quality that simple phone camera was capable of. I thought it was hopeless but these silver needles from reserve club package were just begging to be posted :)
It's true! Sometimes when I step back and take a look at what technology is capable of these days, I just think.. "The future is now!" Amazing. Still, no matter how great our cameras and technology get, it's still a person framing, setting up and taking the shot.
My epic swap with JustJames came in today. I'm excited that it is earlier than expected so I can try a few before I leave for vacation.
Getting tea in the mail makes me happy. I received my Mandala order today!!! I ordered 2 oz of Black Pearl, 1 oz of Milk Oolong and the Noble Mark 2012 cake.
It also included my first Yixing teapot. It's so little and it's soooo cute. Came well wrapped and snug in a beautiful box. I love it. Not sure how to deal with it, but I'm really happy.
I LOVE getting tea in the mail!! Sometimes it's better than the tea itself!! I love swaps for that reason!
Enjoy your yixing…let me know how you like it…
awesome! Seasoning your pot is pretty easy, I was worried when I did mine but it went pretty smoothly. http://oolongowl.wordpress.com/2013/07/21/the-seasoning-oolong-owl-yixing-teapot-special/
(that tofu method posted in discussion seems fun!)
My first month of HandMade Tea TeaClub came in yesterday!!!!
Here's the unpacking!!
For my first month… It was a great choice, seeing as I am a huge coconut fanatic!

Consumer Reports: Small Turbo Engines Don't Meet Efficiency Claims
Shane McGlaun
February 5, 2013 9:29 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Not all small turbo engines are more fuel-efficient says Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports
isn't letting up on its testing of fuel efficiency claims for various vehicles. According to the publication, small turbocharged engines aren't delivering on the fuel efficiency claims by the manufacturers.
Small displacement turbocharged engines have become common in a variety of vehicles in place of larger displacement, naturally aspirated engines. The claim by the automotive manufacturers is that the small displacement turbocharged engines offer the same power as larger displacement engines and improved fuel efficiency.
Consumer Reports,
however, states that in its real world testing many vehicles with turbocharged engines aren't as efficient as the manufacturers claim. The publication recently tested the
1.6-liter EcoBoost in a Ford Fusion
and found that the turbocharged version has a slower 0-to-60 mph time than its competitors and achieved only 25 mpg in testing, making it among the worst for fuel efficiency in the recent crop of family sedans.
The publication also claims that the larger 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which promises the power of the V-6 with the fuel economy of four-cylinder engine, fails to deliver on either front.
2013 Ford Fusion
Chevrolet is also under fire for the 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder in the Cruze.
Consumer Reports
claims that real world performance wasn't much better than the standard, naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine and overall fuel economy was similar as well.
Ford and General Motors representatives offered similar statements explaining the discrepancy. "When you have an EcoBoost engine, you have the opportunity to have performance and fuel economy, but not at the same time," said Ford Powertrain Communications Manager Richard Truett. "EcoBoost adds a dimension that you won't get by just making the engine smaller. We're telling the driver, it's up to you on how you want to drive."
"The Cruze turbocharged engine provides a much broader torque curve than a non-turbocharged engine, and that means better acceleration across the rpm range, making for a more fun-to-drive car," said GM spokesman Tom Read. "However, if you have a heavy foot on a turbocharged engine, you're not necessarily going to see a lot of fuel economy benefits."
The EPA is going to
investigate Ford
Consumer Reports
and other owners have complained that fuel efficiency doesn't meet the automakers claims in the Fusion Hybrid and C-MAX.

"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Post-NFL draft grades are a little controversial. On the one hand, it's only natural to want to assign a grade—a letter grade, or at least pass/fail—to the hauls each team lands. On the other, it's hard to determine just how well the draft actually works until each player hits the field, which could take months to a year or more.
Another approach, which we're taking here, is to grade the men tasked with ultimately making these picks, the general managers. Let's break down how each NFL team's GM handled the 2013 draft, based on the ability to meet needs while also building depth and finding values.

Cold Turkey is an interesting tool which makes it easy to prevent your own access to particular websites.
Why bother? If there's work to be done then you may not have the time to visit Facebook, check Twitter or post in your favourite online forums. If you're strong willed and can simply ignore your usual web destinations, then this isn't a problem. If you find yourself sneaking back to particular sites, though, and wasting time you don't really have, then using Cold Turkey to control your online access could be a welcome alternative.
The program is easy to use, providing a built-in list of sites which are checked by default, as well as allowing you to enter custom domains of your own. You can also decide when you'd like the block to end: in a few minutes, an hour or two, tomorrow or next week. And then, just click "Go Cold Turkey" and you'll no longer be able to access these sites: your browser will simply act as if they are down.
At its core, Cold Turkey works by modifying your HOSTS file to block requests for each domain.You can't just edit HOSTS to get back online, though, and there's no "back door" to regain access if need to visit a site urgently, so be very careful in how you use the program.
Cold Turkey provides a convenient way to block your own access to time-wasting web resources - perfect if you don't have the strength of will to resist them yourself

If you are an email or RSS subscriber, you may not have noticed the new banner image:
The WordPress theme has also been updated and the menus have re-arranged a bit. Come check it out sometime.
Anyway, the new banner image shows me stroking along in the middle of the Santa Barbara Channel. There's Cathy in the kayak (this must have been about 7 hours into the swim), and behind her the Fuji III (containing Rob, Mark, Dave, Ben, Capt. Forrest), heading off at a strange angle. The photo is actually a GoPro still-frame from Ben, one of the filmmakers behind the documentary DRIVEN.
For old-times' sake, here's the previous banner image – that's me warming up at the Noblesville 10K in July 2010.
Incidentally, if you're an RSS subscriber, you may have heard the sad news of Google Reader's impending demise. If you're shopping around for a new feed reader, I recommend checking out Newsblur and Feedly. Feedly is slicker and prettier; Newsblur is closer to Google Reader's layout and may be preferable for power users. Personally I'm going with Newsblur.

Sun Microsystems, a leading maker of servers, has issued a statement regarding Dell's decision to use microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices in its PowerEdge machines. The company said that the plan proves superiority of AMD's 64-bit microprocessors.
"AMD's superior technology and market share growth made this decision inevitable. Welcome to the party," said John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun's systems group.
Sun is AMD's largest server partner, which supplies a huge part of all servers powered by AMD Opteron processors. Sun even said that it plans to put some efforts into further development of AMD Opteron processors. Sun will also continue to develop its own UltraSparc central processing units for high-end servers, where those chips compete against Intel Corp.'s Itanium-series processors.
AMD's marker share in x86 server market increased to 22.1% in Q1 2006, up from 16.4% in the fourth quarter in 2005. Given that the demand towards server processors from AMD is growing, it was impossible for Dell, whose profit margins have been under pressure from companies like HP, to ignore AMD64-based servers, as traditionally enterprise-class computers cost more than desktops and have higher profit margins.

The next-generation desktop central processing units (CPUs) from Advanced Micro Devices with Bulldozer micro-architecture are projected to offer around 50% higher performance compared to existing chips from AMD and Intel. While the alleged promises presumably from confidential documents seem very "promising", they should be considered as extremely rough performance estimates.
An AMD document obtained by Donanimhaber web-site claims that an eight-core Bulldozer microprocessor offers 50% higher performance compared to quad-core Intel Core i7-950 with HT microprocessor in games, rendering and multimedia applications. The web-sites does not specify which benchmarks were used. In fact, 50% higher performance versus a quad-core chip does not seem to be bad, especially in games that do not usually take advantage of multi-core chips.
The web-site claims that AMD compares performance of the Core i7-950 with performance of AMD Phenom II X6 1100T chip, which is considerably slower than its rival, according to performance tests conducted by X-bit labs. It is unclear whether AMD showed the model 1100T being slower or faster than the i7-950. Test settings were not revealed. Typically, AMD publishes so-called "simulated benchmark results".
Rumours published earlier this month suggested that AMD plans to return the FX products family with extreme performance. Indirectly, this information confirms very high performance of new microprocessors from AMD.
Engineering samples of code-named Zambezi (desktop Bulldozer) chips became available for AMD's partners for testing in December, 2010. Production candidates should be ready by February '11 and the initial production of the company's first desktop microprocessors powered by the long-awaited Bulldozer micro-architecture is scheduled to start in April next year. Probably, the launch of the chip will occur around the same timeframe.
Eight-core Zambezi features four dual-core Bulldozer modules, each of which is believed to have 2MB of shared level-two cache, that will share 8MB L3 cache. In total, the whole chip will pack in whopping 16MB of SRAM, a 77% increase from the current six-core microprocessors that have 9MB of cache in total. Clock-speeds of the chip may be as high as 3.50GHz or even higher.
The first Zambezi microprocessors to be launched are expected to be eight-core products with 95W and 125W thermal design power as well as 8MB L3 cache. Later in the second quarter of 2011 AMD, according to sources with knowledge of the company's roadmap, will release six-core chips with 8MB L3 cache and four-core products with 4MB cache. All of the processors will feature TurboCore 2.0 technology, dual-channel DDR3 memory controller with up to 1866MHz memory support and will be compatible with AM3+ mainboards.
AMD did not comment on the news-story.

Marte finally able to settle in with Tribe
Top prospect gets on the field after long offseason
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- When the Atlanta Braves restructured and extended Chipper Jones' contract in December, Andy Marte knew he was in for an interesting offseason.
Jones was set to be the Braves' third baseman through 2008, so it no longer mattered that Marte, also a third baseman, was considered to be the organization's top prospect.
He was now the club's top piece of trade bait.
"I was ready for the trade," Marte said Tuesday. "At first I heard I was going to be traded to Tampa Bay. Then I found out it was Boston. And then ..."
Marte let the sentence trail off and just laughed, because we all know what happened next.
Before he ever slipped on a Red Sox uniform, Marte was dealt once again to the Indians in the Coco Crisp trade last month, giving him the rare distinction of being the top prospect in three different organizations in one offseason.
Finally, the wheeling and dealing is done, and Marte can get back to focusing on the field.
He reported to camp at Chain of Lakes Park on Tuesday morning looking much more muscular than his listed size of 6-foot-1, 190 pounds would allow. But while Marte's weight might be underhyped, the Indians are banking on his play not being overhyped.
For now, though, they don't need him to set their Winter Haven world ablaze.
"It's not a situation where we have to see everything right away," general manager Mark Shapiro said. "We just want to get him acclimated to this environment."
With Aaron Boone locked in at third for the time being, the Indians can take their time with the 22-year-old Marte, who will begin the season at Triple-A Buffalo.
Marte believes he's big league ready right now, though he admitted he has a couple of areas of his game to work on. His biggest improvements need to come at the plate. Marte has hit 20 or more home runs in three of his last four Minor League seasons, but with that power has come a tendency to chase breaking balls out of the zone and to pull the ball too often.
"I have to try to hit the ball to the opposite field," he said. "I have to get better at that."
He'll have plenty of opportunities to get better, as manager Eric Wedge plans to get Marte his fair share of at-bats in Grapefruit League play.
"We want to try to do that more with our younger players," Wedge said. "At the plate, obviously [Marte] has power and gets on base. But every now and then, he'll get a little pull happy. That's very typical of young players with power. They want to get after it. There's a time for that, but we want him to utilize his power to both fields."
But first, Marte must get over any stigma associated with being traded twice in the same offseason. And then there's the rather dicey issue of being the key player acquired in the trade of the popular Crisp.
Obviously, the young Marte has a lot of expectations to live up to. Not that he minds it much.
"I just have to keep doing the same thing I've been doing," he said. "[The Indians] know what I can do. They know what kind of player I am."
The fans don't necessarily know, of course, and Wedge said a time will probably come soon when he'll have to sit the player down and explain to him the scrutiny he'll most likely be under.
"I think at some point in time there will be a more informal conversation that I'm sure Andy and I will have about that," Wedge said. "First and foremost, I want to get more of a feel for him and his personality and how he handles himself on a day-to-day basis. The last thing I want to do is be overly aggressive with him. I want to get him settled here and let him know this is his family here, and we're excited to have him."
It wasn't long ago that Marte wasn't very excited to be playing ball in the States.
Sure, he always dreamed of playing big league ball. In fact, he was most inspired by the power-hitting of former Tribe outfielder Richie Sexson. But during his first season of rookie ball in Danville, Va., during which he hit one measly home run while missing the comforts of home, Marte considered giving up that dream.
"I didn't want to play anymore," Marte recalled. "I called my dad [Juan] and told him. He said, 'You're crazy.'"
Marte's dad was right. Because now the young prospect, who saw 24 games of action with the Braves last September, is knocking on the door of everyday life in the big leagues with an organization that has tried to land him the last couple of years.
"The Braves told me [the Indians] tried to get me," Marte said. "They finally did it."
Now that his whirlwind offseason is behind him, Marte has a chance to show the Indians just what they've got.

Wish the IR was working on my team site. Oh well, extra players until I understand how the new system works.
I figured, I would take a different way to evaluate the draft.
I took a copy of the team totals prior to transactions. I thought this could be a fast way to look at the draft. Now many teams have injuries, rookies still in the minors and only so many players can play on a given day. Even some players will eventually be available to play in a new position.
So, this is a very rough look at where we stand after a very good draft and some observations.
Each year I look at the previous year's results and find a weakness and try to improve upon it. One year was saves, so I probably went over that area. It seems to have repeated itself this year. Last year was on base percentage. I believe at the end of the year I was 13th. Well, after this year's draft, I am 9th. Not so good. Hopefully a few players will have multiple positions and a few guys who are not performing as expected will sit on the bench until they get it right.
I did pretty good in pitching rating from 1 to 4 in all five categories. Knowing my self, ERA and WHIP will go up. I know my habits bad as they are.
My hitting is almost two consistent. The previous two years I did very well in runs. I cannot say that this year. Looking at the totals I am 14th. Now since there is over a 400 run variance, I imagine different members have a different number of hitters to pitchers than I have. I look at HRs and with a 12 and in other categories in the 9 to 11, it is obvious that I may have one or two too many pitchers.
Since only nine hitters can play at one time just like only seven pitchers it looks like where I may have too many pitchers some other members might have too many hitters.
No clear winner in the draft, but, the numbers are interesting.
I might run the numbers into totals later, if I have the time.
I got three of the four guys I wanted with my first four draft choices. Torres was a reach in the third round, but too many relievers were going and Gonzales (K) will not provide me with 24 saves this year unless Wickman gets hurt.
I noticed some members gambled on young pitchers, whereas I probably gambled on young hitters this year.
It was interesting to see how some members released a few keepers because they had so much great talent on their teams.
Good luck in the season. I noticed one member already has a thread to discuss his draft, so I guess I'll comment on mine in that thread.

Specifications of Intel Corp.'s six-core processor for desktops has emerged on the Internet. Based on the information, the novelty will operate at the same clock-speed as current high-end Extreme Edition processors, hence, will offer similar performance in single- or dual-threaded applications. What is noteworthy is that Intel decided to retain Core i7 branding for the code-named Gulftown processors.
Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition central processing unit (CPU) will have six cores with Hype-Threading enabled (thus, will be able to process up to 12 threads in total), will operate at 3.33GH, will feature 12MB of unified L3 cache (in addition to 64KB L1 cache per core and 256KB L2 cache per core, or 14MB of cache in total), triple-channel DDR3 memory controller and will be based on Westmere micro-architecture. The processor will be compatible with existing LGA1366/Intel X58 infrastructure and will have 130W thermal design power.
According to an image that resembles a slide from Intel's roadmap (which has been published by PConline web-site), Intel will release its first six-core chip for desktops already in the first quarter of 2010, not in Q2 of next year, as previously planned.
Thanks to 32nm fabrication process, Intel managed to sustain clock-speed of its highest-performing six-core processor on the same level with quad-core offerings. As a result, the new central processing unit, which is likely to cost $999 or more when releases, will not only offer the benefits of six processing engines, but will also sustain performance of existing chips in applications that depend on CPU frequencies.
It is rather surprising that alleged Intel's roadmap lists only one six-core processor for desktops. Moreover, earlier this year rumours transpired that Intel would use Core i9 name for its six-core chip. However, addition of two cores was only reflected by the model number, which is not logical from Intel's current way of marking microprocessors.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

There's No Debate
January 4, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: alan lomax, alvin youngblood hart, coastal islands, dance patterns, great debaters, Jazz Alive, joe washington, marq, Movies, music supervisor, original version, religious song, roswell, rural church, samson, sharon jones, shouts, six weeks, slavery, tidewater region, traditional african dance, wbgo
I haven't seen Denzel Washington's film, The Great Debaters. But I'm already hooked on the soundtrack with Sharon Jones, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and The Carolina Chocolate Drops. Among others, they collaborate on the opening track, a ring shout called "My Soul is a Witness."
A ring shout is one of the most infectious and powerful types of music you'll ever hear. It's basically a religious song using traditional African dance patterns, with a counter-rhythm that can start easy but get extremely complex, depending on how intensely the performers get possessed by the spirit. Shouts were common ritual during slavery, and you might even find traces of the style in rural church services in the South, the Georgia coastal islands and the Tidewater region of Maryland and Delaware.
For The Great Debaters, "My Soul is a Witness" is recreated from the original field recording by Alan Lomax. In 1934, Lomax spent six weeks in Louisiana. In one of the Acadian (Cajun) towns, Lomax recorded a series of ring shouts by Austin Coleman, with Joe Washington Brown and Samson Brown.
Hear the original version of "My Soul is a Witness," as performed by Austin Coleman.
I spoke with G. Marq Roswell, the Music Supervisor for The Great Debaters, about the music he selected music for the movie. You can hear that on The WBGO Journal. Or listen below. - Josh

E-MU was a king in the world of hardware sampling, and with the release of the Emulator X3, it's aiming to strengthen its position in the software sampling sphere.
This third version of Emulator X comes in 32- and 64-bit versions and is built around the latest 24-bit/192kHz iteration of the Xtream engine. This promises to improve performance by balancing the processing load across all available resources (multiple cores, for example).
Other new features in the software include the Region Xplode Beat Slicer – which can extract MIDI files from audio drum parts – and the Tempo Map Export. Using this, we're assured that you can easily sync a rhythm track to a song that has a variable tempo.
Elsewhere, there's the Xtractor, which is said to enable you to cut or boost levels in a mix (based on stereo position and frequency). There's also the Translator Convertor, which enables you to import content in a wide range of sample formats into Emulator X3.
Shipping with a 3.3GB sound library, Emulator X3 will be available in March 2008 priced at $500/€500/£350. Sadly, it's still PC-only, though Vista support is in place and the good news is that you no longer need to run a piece of E-MU hardware as a dongle.

According to the antivirus maker Symnatec, 87% of e-mail traffic in the past year was spam. This constitutes over 40 trillion spam messages and of these 40 trillion, 2% were found to have malicious malware.
While at first this does not sound like a large number it should be known that this is a 900 percent increase from last year.
Malware can search computers for bank information and personal details, or hijack computers to become a spamming army of zombie "botnets." The worst thing of all is that, often, all of this happens without the user even noticing.
Within the past year there has been a specific increase in the amount of people who have had their Facebook or Twitters accounts hacked into.
One of the most alarming incidents in 2009 for governments and policy makers was the July 4th attacks on U.S. governments sites, such as the White House, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq — followed a few days later by similar attacks on websites in South Korea.
According to a research paper by antivirus maker McAfee, both attacks were made by the same "botnet army" of 50,000 computers, which spammed targets with so many e-mails their IT systems were overwhelmed and subsequently crashed.
Looking ahead to 2010, antivirus maker Trend Micro predicts that there will be more attacks on Mac operating systems. Previously ignored by malware makers because of its relatively low market share, the booming popularity of Apple iPhones that run on the Mac operating system, it's drawing the attention of cyber criminals.
The introduction this year of domain names in languages other than English — such as Russian, Chinese and Arabic — will also expand the hunting grounds for cyber crime, Trend Micro reports.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Tetrephyllidea contains over 400 described species that parasitize elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and stingrays). Nearly all elasmobranchs examined for cestodes have been found to be host to at least one species of tetraphyllidean tapeworm. Like other tapeworms, adult tetraphyllideans are found in the intestine of their hosts, where they live absorbing nutrients from their host through their body surfaces. No complete life cycle for tetraphllideans is known, but larvae have been found in teleosts, mollusks, crustaceans, and marine mammals. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Tetraphyllidea is the incredibly variety of scolex morphology. The scolex is the anterior attachment organ used by tapeworms to remain attached the gut of their hosts. Scolex morphology is incredibly variable among the tetraphyllideans, it is usually comprised of four muscular bothridia that are often adorned with other attachment structures such as suckers and hooks. The diversity of hosts species that the tetraphyllideans parasitize, and the range of intestinal morphology found in those hosts is likely responsible, at least in part, for the diversity of scolex morphology present in this tapeworm order.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by itsbuttars Nice Score Board I really like the handle and the fact that it stands up on its own. I got this for outdoor score keeping and it is much easier to use then the hang off the table score board. It doesn't fall off the table and the numbers are bolted on vs clipped on. I would buy it again June 28, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Vani As advertised Plain and simple. Nothing difficult nor special. Works as advertised. July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by BKP Works Great Works Great. When we use it outdoors in windy conditions we use a large rubber band to hold down the flip scores. September 25, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by AriB almost a great product I gave this product only fair reviews because i used it outside. On that day there was a lite wind which kept flipping the numbers back and forth. Very annoying! If there was a way to keep them in place the product would get much better reviews. I would not recommend this product for outside use. August 15, 2013

Taking gemifloxacin increases the risk that you will develop tendinitis (swelling of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) or have a tendon rupture (tearing of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) during your treatment or for up to several months afterward. These problems may affect tendons in your shoulder, your hand, the back of your ankle, or in other parts of your body. Tendinitis or tendon rupture may happen to people of any age, but the risk is highest in people over 60 years of age. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant; kidney disease; a joint or tendon disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis (a condition in which the body attacks its own joints, causing pain, swelling, and loss of function); or if you participate in regular physical activity. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking oral or injectable steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexpak), methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Sterapred). If you experience any of the following symptoms of tendinitis, stop taking gemifloxacin, rest, and call your doctor immediately: pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or difficulty in moving a muscle. If you experience any of the following symptoms of tendon rupture, stop taking gemifloxacin and get emergency medical treatment: hearing or feeling a snap or pop in a tendon area, bruising after an injury to a tendon area, or inability to move or to bear weight on an affected area.
Taking gemifloxacin may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis (a disorder of the nervous system that causes muscle weakness) and cause severe difficulty breathing or death. Tell your doctor if you have myasthenia gravis. Your doctor may tell you not to take gemifloxacin. If you have myasthenia gravis and your doctor tells you that you should take gemifloxacin, call your doctor immediately if you experience muscle weakness or difficulty breathing during your treatment.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking gemifloxacin.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with gemifloxacin. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website ( Web Site) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
Gemifloxacin is used to treat certain infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis. Gemifloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics do not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.
Gemifloxacin comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food once a day for 5 or 7 days. The length of your treatment depends on the type of infection you have. Your doctor will tell you how long to take gemifloxacin. Take gemifloxacin at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take gemifloxacin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablets whole with plenty of water; do not split, chew, or crush them.
You should begin feeling better during the first few days of treatment with gemifloxacin. If your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse, call your doctor.
Take gemifloxacin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Do not stop taking gemifloxacin without talking to your doctor unless you experience certain serious side effects that are listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING and SIDE EFFECTS sections. If you stop taking gemifloxacin too soon or skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking gemifloxacin,
Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking gemifloxacin.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take more than one dose of gemifloxacin in one day.
Gemifloxacin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms call your doctor immediately but do not stop taking gemifloxacin without talking to your doctor:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, or the symptoms of tendinitis or tendon rupture described in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, stop taking gemifloxacin and call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical help:
Gemifloxacin may cause problems with bones, joints, and tissues around joints in children. Gemifloxacin should not be given to children younger than 18 years of age.
Gemifloxacin may cause nerve damage that may not go away even after you stop taking gemifloxacin. This damage may occur soon after you begin taking gemifloxacin. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: numbness, tingling, pain, or burning in the arms or legs; or a change in your ability to feel light touch, pain, heat, or cold. If you experience these symptoms, do not take any more gemifloxacin until you talk to your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe a different antibiotic for you to take instead of gemifloxacin.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking gemifloxacin or giving gemifloxacin to your child.
Gemifloxacin may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from light and excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to gemifloxacin.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Your prescription is probably not refillable. If you still have symptoms of infection after you finish taking gemifloxacin, call your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements.

Dogs have an "extra" or third eyelid that is located inside of their lower eyelid. There is a gland within this third eyelid that produces tear film and although these structures act as additional protection for the eye, VCA Animal Hospitals reports that it can also be easily irritated. When the gland in the third eyelid becomes irritated and prolapses or "pops out" of place it is called "cherry eye." It gets this name because the prolapsed gland appears as a red round mass coming from the lower inner eyelid. The mass can cover a small amount or almost the entire surface of a dog's eye.
According to VCA, the gland of the third eyelid is typically attached to the lower inner rim of the eye, though in certain breeds including bulldogs, beagles, cocker spaniels, and shih tzus, this attachment is weak, which increases the likelihood of the animal developing cherry eye.
If an owner sees this, they should bring their dog to the veterinarian health clinic immediately. In most cases, a vet will need to surgically replace the third eyelid gland, as it produces a large percentage of the watery portion of the tear film. Without enough of the gland, a dog will become more susceptible to developing painful dry eye.

Posted on 07/18/2013 5:15:07 AM PDT by Kaslin
There are many strange elements in the current debate over illegal immigration, but none stranger than the mostly ignored role of Mexico.
Are millions of Mexican citizens still trying to cross the U.S. border illegally because there is dismal economic growth and a shortage of jobs in Mexico?
Not anymore. In terms of the economy, Mexico has rarely done better, and the United State rarely worse.
The Mexican unemployment rate is currently below 5 percent. North of the border it remains stuck at over 7 percent for the 53rd consecutive month of the Obama presidency. The American gross domestic product has been growing at a rate of less than 2 percent annually. In contrast, a booming Mexico almost doubled that in 2012, its GDP growing at a robust clip of nearly 4 percent.
Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and a recipient of the 2007 National Humanities Medal
(Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
That giant sucking sound is Mexico drawing its citizens back from the USA.
Not fast enough, though.
A lot of Americans going with them, for not only jobs but lower taxes and better healthcare.
This should scare you even more.
If they are not coming here for jobs, then what are they coming for?
Drug dealers?
Gang members?
Felons fleeing prison?
Yet Mexico counts on these expatriate poor to send back well over $20 billion in annual remittances — currently the third-largest source of Mexican foreign exchange.
Multibillion-dollar annual remittances from America fill a void that the Mexican government has created by not extending the sort of housing, education or welfare help to its own citizens that America provides to foreign residents.
In truth, many thousands of Mexicans flee northward not necessarily because there are no jobs, or because they are starving at home. America offers them far more upward mobility and social justice than does their own homeland. And for all the immigration rhetoric about race and class, millions of Mexicans vote with their feet to enjoy the far greater cultural tolerance found in the U.S.

Zay doon' come for zeee jobs.........
Zay com for de beenneefiiiits! Zee Obamaphones!
The unemployment rate is 5%, but what is the pay scale???
That might have a little something to think about.
If we had a good man at the top, the Mexicans would trade us their oil (expropriated from American oilcos) discounted to $20/barrel in exchange for us handling their social problems. Every time an illegal alien sneaks in, we are in effect, robbed twice.
BTW, according to our law, the offspring of illegal aliens are NOT, that's not, citizens.
Unfortunately, this particular medicine - a bad economy, is worse than the disease.
Welfare. We are getting the undesirables and Mexico loves it.
If and when our economy improves, they WILL come flooding back in.
It's not about employment anymore. It's about free stuff.
Its a worldwide phenomena. Third world peoples whenever possible migrate toward Western Europe or North America. May be politically incorrect to state but, despite all the claims of racism, living with or in close proximity to whites leads to a much more secure and fulfilling life.
I asked about the purpose of the government agency he heads, since I had never heard of such a thing. He said its purpose is to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the United States. I asked, Why?
"It serves Mexico's needs, he said, and ticked off a list of such things as remittances to Mexico of $10 billion a year, which is 30 percent of the Mexican GDP [gross domestic product]. It provides employment for an exploding population, it alleviates social instability due to rising unemployment and it provides training for Mexicans, ultimately repatriating those skills back to Mexico.
"I responded to his final aim - repatriation of trained and skilled Mexicans back into Mexico - and asked, Then your government would oppose amnesty for the illegal Mexicans in the United States?
"He cried, Oh no! We support amnesty totally. . . . by populating the United States with millions of Hispanics who are tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on U.S. policy and its dealings with Mexico.
"President Vicente Fox believes the U.S. border is a figment of the imagination. In fact, Fox and/or members of his government stated at one point that the borders of Mexico extend much farther north than currently drawn on the map.
The pay is much cheaper but, so is the cost of living. We sell many factories just over the US border into Mexico that buy pine boards. There is a lot of furniture, kitchen cabinet doors, picture frames, etc. made in Mexico. Many of these factories are set up just over the border with 95% of the products sent back into the US. Some of the best kitchen cabinet parts are made in Mexico and then assembled in the US. This is all driven by the lower labor/manufacturing/benefits cost. Also, many of these manufacturers set up secure areas around their factories where they have armed guards to protect their workers and their families. They live, work, go to school all in these gated, walled, safe compounds.
Another fact that was brought to my attention recently is that Monterrey is now the second largest city in Mexico. Many people have moved there for work away from Mexico City and other places. I have a friend that grew up there but moved to the US(legally with green card) back in the 1990's. His family still lives there. Monterrey's population has grown by a million people in just the last few years. This growth is due to its proximity to the US and the manufacturing growth of jobs there in the last 5-10 years.
Also in order to avoid violence: Black Teens Beat Sanford Man 13 Times in Head With Hammer
I didn't see thanHansen maintains illegal immigration is decreasing. He is saying it may be justified less by a raw need for survival than it was in the past.
Probably the Mexican government promotes it in its efforts to take over the Southwest USA as "Aztlan".
Meanwhile, everyone's attention is diverted toward Trayvon Martin.
THAT photo is a border post?
They have more security at the entrance to Disney World.
Especially the terrorists
There are two reasons for the dichotomy:
1. The mexican drug trade is booming; and
2. the socialist regime in Washington can't find their butts with both hands.
Maybe we can encourage our own undesirables to escape to Canada. :)
Libs have been trying to convince us of this for some time now. Why would anyone want to go back and live in that lawless, third world, hell hole? Immigrants come here and they see nirvana. They also learn that it is very easy to get on the welfare train.
The truth about Mexico is that it suffers from "Old Europe Disease", in which there are two social classes: the very rich, who control everything; and the poor, or "everybody else".
But that, by itself, is not a real problem or a divisive one. The real disease is that their very rich strive to remain an exclusive club, by keeping others out. Denying them earned promotion and wealth. "Keeping them down"
This is the real Old Europe Disease.
The mindset that if your are wealthy, unless your wealth is an island surrounded by a sea of poverty, it is somehow diminished. That in your mansion on the hill, unless you can look out your window at the poverty, and yes, hate filled protests at you and your wealth, your riches lose their savor.
You champagne loses its bubbles. Your caviar becomes bland. Your fine art looks dull. And all because there is a shortage of contrast between your wealth and everyone else's poverty.
This is not limited to Mexico, either. You'll notice that the great economics conferences are always held in great buildings in big cities, where the poor are incited to protest. Just once such a meeting was held in a grand castle in a rural area, and despite its luxury, it was not enjoyed.
Compare multi-billionaire Bill Gates to Mexican multi-billionaire Carlos Slim. Gates has probably indirectly created a dozen or two billionaires, hundreds of multimillionaires, thousands or even tens of thousands of millionaires. He doesn't mind one bit.
Carlos Slim has never intentionally or indirectly creates a single one, who wasn't already a relative or close friend already wealthy. And Slim just doesn't grasp why anyone with money would *allow* such an enrichment to happen.
Importantly, while Slim is a "King Midas" in Mexico, all of his investments in the US have been disasters. He just does not grasp how we do things here.
But this is the bottom line to Mexicans. No matter how smart, hard working, inventive or industrious they are, in Mexico they will never hit it big. They *must* come to America if they want to do that.
Probably 90% of those jobs used to be American jobs.
Those are government figures, so they're about as trustworthy as our own.
North of the border it remains stuck at over 7 percent...
7%? More like 15%!
No OSHA, no unions, no healthcare, no disability pay, no lawsuits, plus NAFTA.

Dogs, kids, drive-ins not good mix
June 12, 2005
When I was bringing home $90 a week to feed a family of five, I experienced an illuminating event in my life. It should be noted that I also supported a pack of five dogs, a cigar addiction, and an ancient Chevrolet that came over on the Mayflower.
If anyone says life was simpler in those days, the entire left side of my face still twitches.
The event had to do with our dog pack, a cumbersome burden, and our children who were an equally unwieldy trio. The dogs were, in order of their ages and size, Nicky, Bee-Bee, Lonesome, Bean Dip, and Dammit.
I won't tell you the kids' names. They're still wanted in some states.
Here are the dogs: Nicky's roots were in a coyote den, Bee-Bee had a habit of breaking into the house during thunderstorms and hiding in the bathtub, Lonesome could clear a 6-foot fence in a single bound, Bean Dip gazed into space a lot, and Dammit chased tennis balls.
In fact, that's how Dammit got his name. One day I said, "Dammit, stop bringing me these balls!" The kids heard me and thought I named him.
Anyway, as a working group, the dog pack kept friends away and invited burglars in, chased other dogs and cuddled cats, and consumed 40 pounds of dry food a week. They made enemies of neighbors and friends of the homeless, and if it were possible to perform an uncouth act in front of guests, they did it.
So it was inevitable that my wife Marilyn should demand one evening that I get the dogs and kids out of the house for a few hours, because she was having a bridge party and didn't want anyone embarrassed by the dogs or bitten by the children. I said, "Sure, we'll go to a drive-in movie."
I should have known better, but in those days drive-in theaters were all the rage, because children and pets were admitted free. But when I pulled up to the ticket booth and said, "One adult," the clerk glanced at the menagerie in the back seat and said, "How old is that ugly one with the beard?"
I turned and saw that the kids had draped their hats and coats on the dogs. "Oh, that's Bean Dip," I said. "He's only 4 years old."
"Ugly kid," the ticket seller muttered. "Reeeeal ugly."
But soon we settled into our parking space with a speaker dangling from the steering wheel. That's when a young man walked by on his way to the refreshment stand, and the dog pack came unglued, thinking him a friend. It was in their DNA to bark at friends.
The kids in turn leaped on the dogs, screaming and hollering and yanking. Our old car bounced around the theater lot like a wild horse.
I rolled down my window to apologize to the young man, but he was on the roof of a neighbor's car and couldn't hear. The neighbor was yelling and shaking his fist.
But once the movie started the kids went to sleep, and the dogs sat in a row beside me to watch the show. Then another customer walked by.
The dogs came unglued once more with Nicky howling, Bee-Bee frantically looking for a bathtub, Lonesome leaping back and forth in single bounds, Bean Dip staring into space, and Dammit retrieving tennis balls from somewhere in the car. I think he stored them there in case of a hard winter.
I lost track of the movie. If the dogs weren't barking, the kids were. I kept muttering to everyone around us, "Sorry, sorry," but they drove off anyway.
That sort of thing kept up for another hour, and the ground around our car soon was littered with spilled popcorn and empty Coke cups where people levitated when the dogs barked. The kids were singing, "Thirty-two bottles of beer on the wall ..."
Marilyn's bridge party was still in progress when we returned home, so we snuck in the back door. Marilyn joined us in the kitchen and asked, "Have a good time?"
"Wonderful," I said. "We had the entire drive-in to ourselves. I forget the name of the movie, but it was good, I think."
From the living room a woman said, "Bring them in, Marilyn, and introduce us."
At that moment I saw sly glances exchanged between beasts and kids, but I'll save that part of the story for another day. I don't want to spin all my yarns in one sitting.

I was going to do this during the week.How did it taste, most importantly?I was going to do mine with tomato sauce, olive oil, sea salt, and fresh grated pecorino. Where did you put the rack in the oven?
Norma,Can you speak as enthusiastically about your pizza as you did with the one you tried at Sullivan Street Bakery?Peter
Also, 25 minutes at 500 seems a bit long and it doesn't look like the pie got too dark. I know someone did the pizza patate version at 20 minutes at 450 and it looked a little darker. Any opinions or tips are greatly advised. I'm looking forward to trying it!
Norma,That looks great! I bet it created a nice aroma in the kitchen too! Hotsawce said something about the browning...I noticed in the recipe there is some sugar used...increasing it would create a more browning(maybe not needed) effect?Would you describe this dough as being a bit like a emergency dough for the short rise time it has?Just curious. -Bill
I would think this is an emergency dough. I started mixing this dough around 11:30 am and had the pizza early this evening. I think the dough needs to be watched to see when it ferments enough. My ambient temperatures in my kitchen are low right now.
Norma,With almost 1.9% IDY, you normally could expect the dough to double within two hours. That might have been extended a bit by a room temperature of 68 degrees F, but not to evening if you started at 11:30 AM today. Peter
Norma,Nice job. I had to chuckle though because pizza pomodoro is Italian for pizza with tomato.
Matt,Thanks for saying the pizza was nice. I now have to chuckle too. I sure am not good with Italian and almost always foul up. I didn't know pizza pomodoro is Italian for pizza with tomato. I thought all these were called pomodoro, but see how right you are. I guess I named this thread wrong. That is even funnier. Norma
I also chuckle when I hear people say panini (plural for panino) & biscotti (plural for biscotto). Literally translated panino is small bread & biscotto is twice baked. So...... just so you know......... when you say "I made a panini" or "I ate a biscotti"; you're actually saying "I made a buns" & "I ate a cookies". Your italian lesson for the day!Matt

Guillermo Del Toro born
Guillermo Del Toro, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of Pan's Labyrinth and the Hellboy movies, today celebrates his 46th birthday. Del Toro is, in some senses, the ultimate fanboy filmmaker, a lifelong lover of movies and comic books who moved from aficionado to auteur, bringing an uncommon artistry, intelligence and sophistication to the horror and fantasy film genres. A native of Guadalajara, Mexico, del Toro was first drawn to horror movies – from the more cheap and cheesy 50s monster flicks and Hammer Horror movies to James Whale, Mario Bava and George A. Romero films – when he still extremely young. However, as he tells it, horror was all around him anyway. In interviews, he's talked about seeing monsters in his bedroom as a toddler, and then being haunted by the ghost of his uncle – ironically, the man who had first introduced him to horror movies and novels. He began to draw his own monsters, and the fantastical world of horror he created became an escape from the world around him. (His grandmother, however, "went in with a vial of holy water and tried to exorcise me for the shit I was drawing. I started laughing and she got so scared that she threw more at me.") Also, says del Toro, being Mexican means that death is ever-present in his work: "I worked for months next to a morgue that I had to go through to get to work. I've seen people being shot; I've had guns put to my head; I've seen people burnt alive, stabbed, decapitated ... because Mexico is still a very violent place." Del Toro first got into movies working in makeup and effects (he studied under the legendary Dick Smith), and later co-founded the Guadalajara Film Festival. In 1992, he directed his first feature, the inventive and macabre Cronos, and has not looked back since.

Where are we going, Brian? Is it to the place where someone tries stacking cast iron on a ceramic/cordierite pizza stone? Because we've never been there
I just want someone to step up to the plate and put the plate on the stone so we can see how it does with making stuff to put on the plate! Arrrgh!
Hey...cut me in or cut it out fellas. Is this something I should be trying
Do you possess a lodge cast iron pizza pan and a regular baking stone? If yes, then, by all means, stack away.
I got a 5 min NY'er out of my gas oven last bake and oven wasn't quite turned up all the way. My stone is only 12 in and thin 1/2 maybe. I have 2 3/4 in thick 22in round kiln shelves here that are going into my LBE build.Before trying a lodge pan I think I'll give the shelves a go.One directly on the bottom deck an one a shelf up? This oven is a single burner below in the drawer. Thanks.ps, how long should I preheat.
Well I made the dough tonight and will see what happens this Thursday night. I'm now tempted to try a piece of 1/2" steel. One thing I don't want to do is change a recipe/technique if I don't need to, but I'm alway up for an improvement. I might just have to go to the scrap yard to see about getting a piece of steel. From what I read on the links above about steel is that I need to get rolled steel plate (not necessarily cast iron); is that the steel you are talking about? Any particular alloys? I cook almost exclusively with cast iron cookware and LOVE it, and I think it's reasonably to expect more of the same for cooking pizza on steel. FWIW I have eaten at Lombardi's in NYC and I actually prefer the pizza's I made last time, although Lombardi's was still quite good.
Don, Ha! Just measured my oven...24X18 !
Bob, are you trimming your stones for air flow on your LBE? If you trim them down to 18, they'll fit in your oven.Having two stones should work pretty well in your main oven compartment, but, it would be ideal if the top stone were larger so that it collects the heat rising from below. It would also help if your bottom stone were less conductive than your ceiling. If you can track them down, quarry tiles are good for this kind of oven setup.
Bob, I'm probably being dense here, but could you expand on what you mean by an 'insert?'
