Mike Bouchard on Homeland Security
BOUCHARD: We need to keep our state safe. We can't give up basic rights to stay safe. I have very big differences than her. I'm a member of the joint terrorism task force with the FBI - what can I do personally to mitigate and respond to the need. There's a list of things that they need to do and fix.
STABENOW: I'm a member of the Banking Committee that tracks money of terrorists. There is a critical balance between what it takes to stay safe and keep our rights. I'm proud of having the Detroit Regional Chamber's endorsement because of protecting businesses in Michigan. I'm championing an effort with Congressional colleagues to protect our middle class way of life.
STABENOW: we need to push and pass the 9/11 Report. I've lead the effort to fight for those things that allow our firefighters and police what they need to do their job and keep us safe. We have tripled the number of border security. I've brought in dollars for sheriffs across the state, including Mike.
BOUCHARD: That's just more talk-versus-reality in Washington. I sit on Committee that represents law enforcement - she's never visited. We need someone who understands security. Security funding has turned into pork barrel spending. They are well intentioned, but no results. If you don't fix a problem - people die.
Skycops utilizes trained law enforcement officers who fly our skies every day for work and personal business to leverage the overextended resources of the Federal Air Marshal Program. My plan calls for a standardized hands-on training class for all personnel who are certified to fly with a firearm.

Qualcomm Grows Where Others Can't
Other chipmakers, such as Intel (INTC) , NVIDIA (NVDA) and Texas Instruments (TXN) , have been hurt by (among other things) weak demand, but on Wednesday Qualcomm beat estimates for revenue and earnings.
It also did what few rivals have been able to do: raise guidance.
A Great End to a Good Fiscal Year
For its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Sept. 30, Qualcomm's profits surged 20% to $1.27 billion, or 73 cents a share, exceeding year-earlier results of $1.06 billion, or 62 cents a share. Results were boosted by an increase in smartphone shipments.
Excluding special items, the company reported EPS of 89, easily topping analysts' estimates of 82 cents.
Revenue was equally impressive, soaring 18% year over year to $4.87 billion, ahead of analysts' estimates of $4.67 billion. The company said that chip shipments reached 141 million, a 1% year-over-year increase.
Qualcomm ended the fiscal year with profits of $6.11 billion, or $3.51 per share. That's annual growth of 43%. Likewise, fiscal-year revenue of $19.1 billion was good enough to top fiscal 2011's by almost 30%.
The company was able to find growth while the sector as a whole suffered hardships as a result of weak demand.
Nevertheless, investors were still looking for confirmation that this story wouldn't change going forward, and in this regard Qualcomm also delivered.
For its first fiscal quarter, Qualcomm expects GAAP EPS of 90 cents to 98 and adjusted EPS of $1.08 to $1.16. The adjusted EPS range would mark a year-over-year increase of 11% to 20%. Revenue is seen coming in at $5.6 billion to $6.1 billion. The top range of the revenue guidance exceeded analysts' existing estimates by more than 13%. Management said the company is positioned for exceptional growth in the double-digit range.
Moving Forward
Qualcomm continues to affirm why it has not only one of the best businesses in the entire market, but also one of the best management teams.
The company understands what its goals are and has a pathway for achieving them. Remarkably, the company is able to do this as rivals are tugging at the chip market and trying to steal share. But as the company's management suggested, Qualcomm's market position is currently unlike any other.
For instance, the company's chips hold slots in phones from Apple (AAPL) , Google (GOOG) , Nokia (NOK) , Samsung and Microsoft (MSFT) .
Rivals will find it pretty challenging (if not) impossible to make a meaningful dent in this business, especially as Qualcomm continues to reinvest in R&D to ensure that its chip technology remains the top choice among these phone rivals.

Is basic solar technology the key to an energy revolution?
Plain old photovoltaic panels and innovations in energy storage and distributed generation could remake our electricity system.
On a November afternoon just outside Lancaster, Calif., Mayor R. Rex Parris stands beaming through his foresty beard, expounding on the grave dangers of climate change. No one seems overly concerned – possibly because most of the audience speaks Mandarin as a first, and in some cases only, language. Instead, they're as cheery as Parris, flustered by neither the language barrier nor the 40-mph wind gusts that ruffle the mayor's brilliant white hair. "I used to say we were changing the world," he intones. "Now I say we're saving the world."
It sounds like hyperbole, but it might be true. Behind Parris, in a once-vacant lot, rise the beginnings of a 16-acre solar farm, developed in collaboration with U.S. Topco Energy, a Taiwan-based firm with offices just over the mountains in the San Gabriel Valley. The arrays will supply electricity to just a few hundred homes, but to hear Parris tell it, they're the first green shoots of an energy revolution – one that begins in local communities and spreads out to the planet.
Lancaster is a city of 150,000 in a region of the West Mojave Desert named the Antelope Valley for the pronghorn that roamed here before agriculture and industry left behind a strafed and empty landscape, dotted with sickly Joshua trees and rows of stucco bungalows. In the '80s, Lancaster and its twin to the west, Palmdale, offered refuge to middle-class families fleeing Los Angeles' crime and housing prices, but urban ills soon metastasized here: In 2007, Lancaster's violent crime rate was twice the national average.
Parris, a Lancaster native, was elected in 2008 to address that situation. His authoritarian methods, which included aerial surveillance of public places and harassing Section 8 renters, have drawn lawsuits and ridicule, but he's been re-elected twice. If the city is now in the throes of an unlikely renewal, it's in part because Parris launched an all-out war on the city's decades-long decay. Among the weapons in his arsenal: The polycrystalline silicon cell that turns sunlight into electricity via photovoltaic process.
Since 2010, 52 megawatts of PV solar panels have gone up on Lancaster's rooftops, schools, carports and warehouses, as well as on five city facilities, including City Hall and the baseball stadium, home to Lancaster's minor-league JetHawks. And it's been done with surprisingly little controversy: Last spring, when the city council mandated that new housing developments average one kilowatt of solar per structure, even KB Homes, the region's major housing developer, got behind it.
Parris, 61, is a big man – not simply tall, not overweight, but big. A millionaire personal injury lawyer with offices just down the street from City Hall, he is a Republican who rejects neither climate science nor government's role in people's lives. Just as he's tried to ban pit bulls from Lancaster, he'd like to erase dirty electricity from the planet (including neighboring Palmdale, where plans to build a 570-megawatt hybrid gas and solar plant have him apoplectic). "I was elected for public safety," he says. "What could be more dangerous than the greatest catastrophe man has ever faced?" Lancaster satifies nearly a quarter of its peak energy demand with solar, but Parris wants it to be more – much more. Eventually, he'd like the city to become "net zero," producing more clean energy than it consumes.
"Of course," he says, "they could kick me out before we get there."
Parris might talk as if he's acting only out of concern for the planet. But there's more to it than that. If distributed solar is on the rise in cities like Lancaster, it's also because putting photovoltaic panels on rooftops – something that once required a hefty investment with uncertain payoff – has suddenly become a way to generate civic revenue. The technology has already saved Lancaster tens of thousands of dollars in utility costs, and a partnership with the solar-leasing company SolarCity to put panels on the city's school buildings has brought in close to $400,000 in just two years.
1. Let the market set the rate for electricity. The cost received for pushing an electron onto the grid through power generation should be the same as the cost charged when you extract an electron. This cost should be for the generation of power and not include the cost of distribution, see below. Competition keeps the market honest. If the big producers (those that have the ear of the public regulatory bodies and thus set the rates) set their prices too high they provide extra margin for the competition. Smart meters with the ability to measure net usage would help everyone become aware of the cost of sources of electricity as the various sources ebb and flow throughout the day. With smart meters it becomes possible to let the market respond to demand instead of a regulatory body.
2. The cost of the grid is real and needs to be acknowledged by all who use it. Someone needs to build the grid, to manage it, to repair it, and to upgrade it (including installation of your meter). This all costs money. Each and every user of the grid needs to pitch in as everyone receives the benefits. Want to see how much the grid benefits you as a user of a PV array. Compare the cost of a grid tied PV system to the price of an off-grid PV system. The cost of supplying your own storage solution and backup will be multiple thousands of $, dependent on size, compared to the connection costs frequently quoted by the utility companies in the tens of dollars per month. Society as we know it cannot exist without a grid. Lets get its cost separated out as a line item so we can identify its true cost.
3. As the article states the stability of the grid improves with a more diversified base. A diversified base enables one source to carry the load when another source can't. If for no other reason then to keep the frequency of the grid consistent the grid requires stable sources for optimum performance. If the supply lost when a source goes off line, whether due to night fall or maintenance, is not matched by a reduction in demand there must be a base capable to makeup the difference. Better storage options would certainly help level the daytime peaks of solar generation and reduce the need for conventional generation but cost is still prohibitive. Everyone who uses the grid benefits from being able to count on the base and everyone should pitch in to ensure the base capacity is robust. An argument can me made that the cost of the base should be a per connection fee as each user expects their appliance to work when they turn it on. There is also justification to include the cost of the base within the cost of production. The rate you pay could also be used to prioritize what loads go dark first in the event of an incident.
In my opinion this is where the discussion should focus. Getting the base right will enable our society to transform how we generate and distribute the electricity we all depend on.
Yep, I can dream.

Ace Hotel Palm Springs A Little Retro Way Cool

Section G/Videos, Traveling & Cool Stuff To Do

Have you ever done something and wonder just seconds later what the hell were you thinking? Well, I have to admit, that is basically the default way my brain functions. It just spits out ideas and my body says what the hell, lets do it and it just starts to go into action before the brain can actually re-adjust and make the right choices. This gets me into more trouble then I would like to admit. For example, the brain spitted out an idea to pack up and move to a location known as hell on earth and my body had packed, moved and unpacked before the brain could say, hey… just joking.
Yes, now my body with my brain lives in hell. Well, not the actual hell, because I don't believe that one exist, but a place trying to do its damnedest to be as hot as it thinks hell would be. Yes, you guessed it, I live in the oven known as Palm Desert (Palm Springs). Everyone says the 126 degree temperatures will cool down in just a few more weeks and then everything it will be like that other fictional place, Heaven, all nice and sweet. Well, until the heaven sweetness arrives, I have been hiding out indoors with the air on because I have a fear of melting. But I am really itching to get out and sight see a little, because surprising enough, I just found out there is an ACE Hotel just down the street. Crazy right? I say that because, I think I love the Ace Hotels and to think something so cool is a few minutes away gives me hope for this place. I was just in New York City for a week and I went to the Ace Hotels bar and it's coffee shop on two different occasions, and both were totally hip and so welcoming. I hope the Ace out here is even half as nice. We will see. I am going to reach out to them and see if they will hook G Living Up and give us a room to test out, if you know what I mean. Wish me luck. Until then, here is a totally cool video showing off some of the retro / hip goodness they are known for. Also, tossing in some photos.

Thanks, Guy Harrison, for bringing this Miami Herald article to our attention:
…several administration officials will sit down quietly for a morning meeting at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House campus with about 60 workhorses from the coalition's 10 member groups, including the American Atheists and the Council for Secular Humanism. Tina Tchen, the director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, and representatives from the Justice and Health and Human Services departments will participate.
Coalition leaders are billing their visit as an important meeting between a presidential administration and the "nontheist" community. On the agenda are three policy areas: child medical neglect, military proselytizing and faith-based initiatives.
"We're raising important issues that affect real people's lives," said Sean Faircloth, 49, a former Maine state legislator who's the coalition's executive director.
Not a HUGE step, but it's a start.

HAGI Special Offer #4
If you are interested, PM me immediately! Scratch that, they are all gone!
The vendor requires all Special Offer ordering be handled by your friendly Moderator . I expect a lot of interest in these beauties, and they will be gone before you know it! Good news, they are all stunners. Further ordering directions are in the next post. Any questions, please PM me.
Biwa-Yuu Wan, 3.75" wide X 2.75-2.95" high ... approximately. These are great multi purpose cups.
WOWZA, these are amazing pieces that have been made specially for us by Shibuya Deishi! It took 2 runs of 50 each to come up with 15! They are really exclusive and special. I am really excited about being a part of this Special Offering for TeaChatters! Please forgive my rambling below, I am just that excited.
Some are highly textured and some are rather smooth and glossy, some are dark, some are light, a really nice variety. The photos are excellent, enjoy! Blow the photos up to see the excellent detail in the glaze and craftsmanship! It is remarkable.
Again, I am excited to share TeaChat Hagi Offer #4 with you. I think this is the most special Hagi offered yet! Everything about it is specially chosen and combined to create a very unique Special Offering. The price is discounted more than 20% off the suggested resale price of at least $70 if it was even available. Many thanks to Magokorodo for teaming with us to make this unique offering possible.
We are calling these Biwa-Yuu Wan, loquat multi purpose tea cup/small bowl sized at approx 3.75" wide X 2.75 - 2.95" high. They are an extremely limited run and had a very high failure rate in production (around 20% survival rate). They were made specifically and specially for us by Shibuya Deishi. There is a very, very gentle inward curve. These were custom made, not offered by Deishi. I so much liked the shape of my white Deishi-Yuu Wan that is shaped like this that I felt it would make a great Loquat as well. I am sure you will agree! Please let me know what you think.
When viewing the photos, please keep in mind that my experience in dealing with Deishi Loquat from Magokorodo, the colors have been richer and more lively IRL than pictured, very beautiful loquat glaze! The Special Offer discounted price for members of TeaChat is $56 USD, yeah, I know, not the cheapest offering, but definitely my fave so far! Price was due to the incredibly beautiful results, the unique nature, and the very high difficulty in producing, I think they are an incredible find and value. It is very rare to see such magnificent Hagi in the "West."
Regarding the Special Wood Box which has the typical Deishi signature stamp/description on the outside of the lid.
On the inside of the lid, a special designation for this batch. It states to the right in kanji "Kinsei" which I understand means carefully made especially for and under supervision of and reflects a gratitude in which Japanese culture is reflected. To the left, TeaChat in English, and in the romantic Japanese translation in Kanji "Discussion about Tea" And Magokoro in Kanji and English.
Please select your fave and at least 2 alternates, OR ALLOW ME TO SELECT for you from the remaining pieces. TBH, I am having a very difficult time choosing 1 anyway and will choose 2 if there are 2 available, choosing 2 that differ from each other, there are many that I personally would be very happy with owning. If you want 2, pick at least 4 alternates.
If funds are a bit tight this week, payment may be delayed. Please let me know.
#1-19 are sold. These were the first 2 original runs.
EDIT: This trio is gone! #1, 2, and 3 are Sold!
Also #1,2,and 3.

Skip to comments.Why Would Matt Bevin Tell His Investors Something He Didn't Believe? | National Review Online
Posted on 02/11/2014 12:14:43 PM PST by FreeAtlanta
As Ramesh points out below, Kentucky Senate candidate Matt Bevin's campaign is claiming that he has consistently opposed the Troubled Asset Relief Program, drawing a contrast with Mitch McConnell, who has defended his role in passing the emergency bailout legislation. This is despite the fact that, as president of an investment firm in 2008, he signed a letter along with the firm's chief investment officer that says the following:
Most of the positive developments have been government led, such as the effective nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the passage of the $700 billion TARP (don't call it a bailout) and the Federal Reserve's intention to invest in commercial paper. These moves should help to stabilize asset prices and help to ease liquidity constraints in the financial system. The government actions to date have been reasonably swift and substantial. The Federal Reserve seems to understand the magnitude of the problem and the underlying issues involved.
Bevin told The Blaze that he "didn't actually write the letter." ....
Article Link: Why Would Matt Bevin Tell His Investors Something He Didn't Believe? | National Review Online (http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/370838/why-would-matt-bevin-tell-his-investors-something-he-didnt-believe-patrick-brennan)
The article is a hit piece. At least they had the integrity to admit that the didn't write the letter. Still the intent is obvious and the fear can be smelled and felt.
So National Review is the hit man for the GOPe. Just wanted to clear that up.
The Nobles are in panic and William Wallace is wearing a Matt Bevin 2014 T-shirt. "Are you ready for a war"?
He was on G. Beck radio this morning.
His answer was clear, simple, made sense, and was unrehearsed.
GOPe is terrified of this man.
I only wish I could vote for him myself.
OK just how many KY Voters read "National Review"?
McConnell is calling in favors, getting his people to get dirty on Bevin. Hopefully, Kentucky responds the way Texas did when Dewhurst took this route against Cruz.
Support Matt Bevin to oust Mitch McConnell in KY
YUP....the elitists are OUTTING themselves....
Hit piece, yes.
What we are seeing is simple:
1. The President of the firm knew that something was wrong with TARP.
2. The Investment Exec. was "on board" with the Federal solution.
3. The President was barred by Fed Regulations from speaking his mind and was, in fact, compelled by law to sign his name to a document he disagreed with and was prevented by law from saying so.
What we see here is why Fed regulations are so evil and stupid.
Exactly. Flop Sweat by Mitch.
They were for "President Giuliani" quite early; and yes, they have been regular backers of GOP-E candidates for a long time. Romney was their choice in 2012.
This is a Republic not an aristocracy Mcconnell isn't senator for life.
From the Bevin/Beck interview...
I was not the investment guy, he said, I never bought and sold the securities. So it would have been inappropriate and probably illegal, frankly, for me to have changed the investing commentary written by the sub-adviser the fund who was responsible for that.
I had a fiduciary responsibility as the chairman of this fund company to make sure that I was not perceived in any way, shape or form as having commentary on buy and sell decisions, he said. That was the responsibility of the adviser to the fund. And for me to have meddled in that would have been highly, highly inappropriate and all of these various SarbanesOxley rules among others would have been very much in my grill had I attempted to rewrite or meddle or make the thinking of the actual fund manager that of my own.
I thought I heard that Pollutico was the designated media recipient, which would make NRO a satellite hit man.
In any event, Mitch McConnell apparently doesn't relize that he decisively holed his own hull when he launched a torpedo at Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, and he is now doubling down on his nastiness.
Mr. niteowl77
Excellent explanation by Bevins, and it comes across clearly as such with no hint of it being a convienient excuse. Not only that it sheds a nice light onto the complexities and burdens created by government overregulation.
But it highlights the challenge with this sort of thing: will the average voter (particularly in the general election) be able to really understand it.
"I only wish I could vote for him myself."
Does not mean you can't go to his website and donate a few bucks...I did and I can't vote for him either.
Bwahahahahaha... I LOL'ed.
The Empire Strikes Back.
National Review should be asking McConnell about all of his lies and flips.
Few simple-minded 'folks' and LIVs will know the difference, though.
Hardly goes there (National Review) anymore.
wow. They are really digging deep to pull up dirt on Bevin.
When National Review made Mandela out to be a Saint and the most wonderful human being who ever lived, I knew it was the end.
Shucks, read?
Having experienced this in KS for years, if a conservative runs whether or not to unseat a RINO (known as "moderates" in KS, in the past) will find far greater resistance from GOPe than the democrat party!
Everyone will jump into the fray to disparage whichever conservative candidate has the best chance to win, including and especially the media!
Conservatives will run against democrats, GOPe and media and should they win a Primary, the GOPe will gang up against the conservative Primary winner and support the democrat!
Bevin was interviewed on Beck's show today, he stated:
He did not write the commentary or opinion, and in fact, steered away from doing so, for the ethical and legal purposes. The financial investment arena is the most regulated in the country, and he was following the laws and regulations as the chairman and any attempt to reword the investment opinion of the people who had been hired by law to make that opinion, would have been illegal. It was required by law, for him to verify the veracity of the financial statement. It would have been ILLEGAL for him to change what was put in that report.
The letter he signed was that he verified the actual financial facts and figures, not the opinions or commentary and had nothing to do with the comments or opinions therein.
But, leave it to the left, to twist it into what it is not, to throw mud. They apparently, are afraid of Bevin. Good.
Bevin did what he was legally REQUIRED to do. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or an idiot. Bob
Love to have a list of conservative media vs rino media. Don't remember why I stopped reading NR. Maybe this is why.
If that list was compiled on here, there would be no "non-RINO" media, LOL.
It's only just begun!
I hope conservatives don't get all weak-need over this.
You must know something about KY Republican primary voters that I do not.
Buckley turned against the JBS, endorsed marijuana for "fun", and reared a socialist son. Still he was brilliant and amusing.
This is the poster child for the KY standpatters.
If Bevin was 'CEO' why couldn't he refuse to sign, and or move to fire the Statist writing the Annual Report?
Does Bevin have evidence to give us that he eventually DID fire that person penning this pro-TARP stuff?
Sorry, it's a huge disappointment. Even tho McConnell should indeed GO. There is No way to say otherwise.
I found his lawyerly responses on Beck unconvincing he basically said
"Hey I was ONLY THE COMPANY's CEO, WHAT COULD I DO?" [/s]
disappointing but he still seems like, so far, as an improvement over McConnell
Bevin is a man.
NR and McConnell are girly men.
Bevin is a man.
NR and McConnell are girly men.
Actually, they admitted that he claimed he did not write the letter.
Which wasn't the issue. A letter was sent from his firm, with his signature, telling people investing in his firm that the TARP was a great thing.
Was he lying to his investors? Or is he misleading now when claiming he did not support TARP?
I wish the TARP supporters would have the courage to just admit it. It was a solid concept, and mostly worked, and we got back almost all the money spent. As government programs go, and as originally intended, it was a "success".
The biggest flaw was the ability for the president to spend the money returned from TARP on other "tarp-like" things, allowing Obama a slush fund to send money to his buddies.
Your list does not quite fit the facts of federal regulations. No man can be forced by the government to mislead investors.
Which does not explain why he did not issue his own letter as President saying he did not personally support TARP; it just explains his reasoning regarding the letter.
I'm not sure I believe that he actually thought that much about the letter at the time.
I remember that Rick Perry fell into a similar problem with TARP because of a letter he wrote. I remember a lot of people here at this site who took quite the opposite position about his explanations of what his letter actually meant.
One thing I'm sure of — the democrats will be quite pleased if we make this election about the opposition to TARP, given that TARP was one of the only things we did in 2008 that actually worked at all. Much better than fighting Obamacare, I'm sure they will agree.
He explained this. As CEO, he is required by law to sign every financial disclosure and he is prohibited from interfering and imposing his opinion. IOW, he had no choice but to sign what an underling wrote.
TARP was a disaster.
Educate me as to what, in particular, was misleading in the document for the hedge fund's investors? You have basically inferred that crimes were committed by Bevin. Please, name them for me.
The Government cannot force a signature on a document? Please tell the IRS, my bank's regulator, and now my Health Insurance company that. Too funny.
"So National Review is the hit man for the GOPe. "
Just when you think that National Review has sunk as low as it can get they find a way to dig a deeper hole.
What a pathetic rag, a disgrace to the great men who wrote for it in the past.
It is such a relief not to subscribe to this progessive-leaning rag anymore. They have become what they set out to defeat under WFB. Bob
Why would there be an inference of a crime? I actually said I thought he was being truthful in the prospectus, and that his signature was not placed on a document for which he thought there was factual errors.
According to the interpretation here of what he is NOW saying, HE is saying that the paper he signed was misleading, in that in had opinions in it that he strongly disagreed with, but that he did not think it was appropriate to make any corrections to, or to say anything anywhere about.
It that is true, then I would argue that he was misleading back when, knowing his fund managers were saying positive things about TARP, and if he strongly disagreed, by not issuing his own public statement stating his opinion about TARP and how it could impact people who were investing in things his company was selling.
His position seems to be that he had no obligation, and in fact was ethically constrained, from stating an opinion that was different from the opinion of the people he or his board hired to run the funds for which he, as the man in charge, was required to affix his signature to.
I find it somewhat odd (this is not specific to this case, just in general) that there would be a requirement to sign something that wasn't supposed to mean that you had reviewed what you were signing and had no factual objections.
Which actually brings up the real question — factually, was TARP a bad thing? He seems to be saying that the issue of TARP being good or bad was entirely a matter of opinion, and therefore he had no place substituting his opinion for that of the manager. That is a reasonable position, unless he now wants to insist that TARP was factually bad and that he factually knew it to be bad at the time.
I guess you could claim that the government "forces" you to put your signature on your taxes. But you do know that when you do, the IRS then expects that you agree with everything said on the form, and could prosecute you for perjury for anything that turns out to be false.
Note that in one sense, the fight of the Catholic Sisters over the Obamacare abortion mandate is precisely one of whether the government can force a person to sign something they disagree with, and it looks like the government will lose that one. So yes, I will stand by my statement, that the government cannot force you to sign something that you believe to be false, when your signature is supposed to signify agreement.
(note that you have to sign a speeding ticket, but it expressly says that the signature is not an agreement to the charge, but just an acknowledgement that you read the ticket).

Do you have any idea of how much of the sodium hydroxide solution I should use when I try to make pretzels? About how much sodium hydroxide to water ratio?I will try basically the same recipe that I tried when making the pizza crust and pretzels at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,10286.msg91547.html#msg91547 I might try replacing some of the KAAP with wheat flour. Since that recipe had brown sugar, I will start from there.
The recipe I have calls for a 3-4% NaOH solution. This means weight by weight or volume by volume. Since the NaOH is in solid form, it's easiest to just use 100 grams of water and 3-4 grams of sodium hydroxide(Weight by weight). You can scale this up if you need more volume. I try to use a glass bowl that is just a little bigger than my pretzels and deep. This way I don't have to make as much solution to fully dip the pretzels (otherwise you're just wasting the stuff). This also depends if you have a deep "dipper" or are using a spatula, it may be easier in a shallow pan, but you'll need more volume. I feel a litte safer handling it in a bowl that is not full to the rim. I don't think at this concentration it will etch glass, but I would do your dipping then dispose of it. Definitely would not store as a liquid. The mix from Abel and Schafer has you make the dough, let it rise, roll out the preztels, then let them "retard" in the fridge uncovered so they dry out. This makes a dry outer surface and creates a dried skin, so when you dip in NaOH just prior to cooking, you get that outer chewy skin that pretzels are known for. The preztzels feel pretty "leathery" just prior to going in the dip. You may also find that any recipe that has brown sugar in it will be uncalled for with the sodium hydroxide. I think those recipes are more akin to Auntie Annie's where NaOH is not used and the sugar is needed to create a sweetness and brown surface. With the NaOH you'll get plenty of browness just from a regular dough. I think you'll find it produces a color, flavor and texture that is nearly impossible to duplicate with something else, which is why the technique continues to be used today. Good luck!
Does anyone know what some of these items are like: Defatted Soy Flour, DATEM, Enzymes, Azodicarbonamide or when I could find these in small quantities?
Try rolling out the pretzel form, (1/2" diameter if you can), then put them on a cooling rack of sorts and place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour. The main point of doing this is to retard the dough so the dough doesn't get all puffy. If it did, when you manipulate the dip it would deflate the dough. So the retardation sort of keeps the yeast in a slow growing state, helps develop the flavor profile a bit, and also dries out the skin to prepare it for the dip. When I do this, the pretzels aren't puffy at all going into the oven, they puff up immediately while cooking. I am no expert on wheat gluten and the like. I just know that everytime I make a whole wheat dough, it's nearly impossible to get it to windowpane. Probably more lack of experience than anything.
Awesome job! You're really way out there on toppings more so than myself. I tend to stick to the more mundane ones. The pizza looks really cool! How did it taste? The surface of the preztels look much better with the white flour. I don't see any really cracking of the skin going on.
I am a molecular biologist and use chemicals all day long in the lab.

Personally I am so happy that On Being exists, a place
Personally I am so happy that On Being exists, a place where reasonable people can have meaningful and intelligent conversations about faith. Maybe you, "godbuster", have decided to put the God question at rest, but for billions of people, many of whom are scientists, the possibility of a divine creator will continue to inspire us to think differently about all the mysteries of the universe we can not yet comprehend. You may be satisfied with a nihilistic view of things, but luckily yours is not the final say. We cannot know the truth of all things in this life, so I am happy to keep an open mind about the existence of God. If you don't like the thoughtful, faith-centered conversations of On Being, you can take your arrogant, absolutist views somewhere else.
Very inspirations talk Steve Jobs! I love how he stuck the fact that he succeeded without college to all the stuffy Stanford professors. Stay hungry, and stay foolish.

"Steve Jobs Dies, Apple Products Stop Working"

<a
"Steve Jobs Dies, Apple Products Stop Working"
of Apple products, including iPhones, iPods, iPads, and Mac computers,
suddenly stopped working on Wednesday when Apple founder Steve Jobs died
of pancreatic cancer late that night. Apple issued a statement saying
that they are working 'round the clock to devise and implement a
solution, though they said it is proving difficult to devise and
implement anything very successfully without their genius leader.

Good Day Folks My name is Steven Whiteside,
 Just
Good Day Folks My name is Steven Whiteside,
Just as Steve Jobs, Randy Pausch, and Al Davis, I too have a dream to find what is it that drives me to be accomplished every day at what seems to be a defeating task, teaching others. The only difference is that I am not dyeing. Though I am forced to live every day a death because our culture has forges death in us to give life to so many different cultural events, and personal respects. Here is a perfect example today is Columbus Day our Public Courts our closed our schools are not. You see how interests in the United State and it holiday divide's our branches of government. These same campaign divided Steve Jobs Fortune 500 Company, Randy Paush's Fortune 500 Company, and Al Davises franchise.
Steve Jobs created the Apple Computer. His invention was ripped away from him by a bunch of bureaucrats. Randy Paush created Market America, Wall Street replacement because it Online feature suited trading and world trading immensely. Though, the world I believe in , our United States, is not ready for Randy Paush and his invention. Then Al Davis the all-time Raider, the black and white cookie, a two time World Champion, two Super Bowl Victories you all do know they took his famous role away as a Super Bowl Champion. The NFL accused Al Davis of insider gabling and stripped him of his Victory. He filed suet and the NFL gave him his Super Bowl Title. Being accomplished was not enough for any one of these guy's. They had to win big.
All three are victims to greed that this United States, Brock Obama Campaign, and all of his ant semantics continue to praise as leadership qualities today. These were great leaders. Steve Jobs "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish." Randy Paush "Live Life To The Fullest", Al Davis "All You Got To Do Is Win Baby." These are our countries fortune, our counties precious "Rockefellers". If I were to be commissioned to paint a portrait of any one of these men it would not be a shameful career task, even to paint their portrait on the exterior wall of the "Bank of the United States" or the "World Trade Center". There are no better leaders, there are no better heroes, there are no better investment because they counted on themself, they did not put their trust in anyone to be left unfulfilled.
My father was a hero he spent 17 years in the South Pacific fighting a foreign war, "Vietnam". This country, the United States", as well "gave me the finger", and ripped me off. I never received a day of respect, a flag , compensation, education, not anything for my father 17 years military service to "Vietnam". I just happened to read his obituary the day it was published in our local paper. Though I make my father a respected man every day I get out of bed and face this not so equal life in the United States that many foreigners contend as there last stand. I am for my father, his effort, his death, what he seen in "Vietnam", and I am for his Military Service to our Nation the United States even though our Nation is responsible for my father's death. The United State Of American and it citizens took my father life I s never to be together because many immigrants need to discover something they already know so well, sovereignty. As sovereignty could not be spared in1979, before, and now, today we cannot be spared the loss of Steve Jobs. Though many immigrant each day flow into our country are being honored with this country's greatest enrichments and a life fulfilled by freedom we stole away Steve Jobs honorable respect. And now once again with our heads in our hands as Americans we beg for his forgiveness.
I put myself through grade school, high school, and now college. I do not have not one individual or a Nation holding holding a candle for me. My life is structured and progressed by my own action, my own finances, and my own blood. I too have had everything I ever created or earned taken from me. Though, I am in good health today. I am grateful to be a United State Citizen. It is hard to find any one representing the United State and standing proud of doing so as Steve Jobs. I am grateful for Steve Jobs and his creation the Apple Computer, and his life. I am a writer and not a teacher. I to learned to "connect the dots".
Steve Jobs, Randy Pausch, and Al Davis were all proud of honoring the United States and make life what they can make of it in the United States. They two knew just how to be American. They knew to value their trust. They knew they should not ever just allow anyone to have a hay day with their trust. They could not even place their trust in our President, now and then. Because of Steve Jobs effort with the Apple Computer many people puts dinner on a tables they own, and they enjoy dinner every night with their families. Just look at Steve Jobs fortune today he surely cannot defend another take over, a front as a thieves lye, he's dead, and his best friend owns it all, in away his best friend is taking credit for putting dinner on his family table, even purchasing his families table.
God blessed Steve Jobs, God Blessed our Nation, and God Blessed Randy Paush and Al Davis, just as well because they all new how to hate people, they knew how to hate thieves, they knew how to hate intruders and they did this to preserve their health. Long live our God in heaven and long live his angels Steve Jobs, Randy Paush, and Al Davis who teach our God how to hate wholesomely..

Tax Freedom Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Rob Anders Calgary West, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank the voters of Calgary West for electing me to my sixth term in the House of Commons. It is a great honour and privilege to continue to serve them in this capacity.
Earlier this week, the Fraser Institute proclaimed tax freedom day. This is the day when the average Canadian family has earned enough money to pay all of their taxes.
This year tax freedom day fell on June 6. This is a significant improvement from 2000 when it fell on June 24. With this stable and reliable majority federal government, I hope to move closer to Alberta's tax freedom day of May 18 or, even better, the 1961 record of May 3.
With the help of my colleagues in this majority government, I hope we can continue to move tax freedom day significantly earlier. Let us have more freedom through less government.
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Laurin Liu Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the voters of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles for placing their trust in me on May 2. I plan to work hard in the coming months to ensure that families in my region are well represented here in Parliament.
The people of my riding are worried about the announcement made by Nova Bus, which is going to lay off 135 workers from its plant in Saint-Eustache. I was very disappointed to learn that 200 buses intended for the Canadian market will be assembled in its plant in the United States.
I promise to do everything I can to ensure that our tax dollars will be used to help families and create jobs here in Canada.
Don Valley West
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
John Carmichael Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, as I rise for the first time in this auspicious House, I am compelled to remember my roots as eighth generation Irish who came to this fledgling nation in 1848 seeking relief from famine, poverty and hopelessness.
Here I am today, sent by the great Canadians of Don Valley West, sent by the residents of Canada's great city Toronto, the "meeting place", and I pledge to honour their trust.
First, I thank God for this opportunity of service. I humbly thank all the people of Don Valley West, all my volunteers during the recent election, my wife and children who have encouraged and supported me through my journey to Ottawa.
Most especially, I want to give my thanks and appreciation for the brave and valiant Canadians who have given their all for this great nation. I pledge to honour their sacrifices by my service in the House.
Microcredit Programs
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
John McCallum Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, one year ago today the House of Commons unanimously passed my motion encouraging the government to increase funding for microcredit programs.
I have seen microcredit in action first-hand, and I can say that these programs are producing real results all over the world. These programs help the world's most disadvantaged people. Of course I was very disappointed that the budget presented this week does not contain a single new initiative on microcredit.
I am disappointed, but not surprised. The government has shown a lack of concern for people with low income, whether we are talking about tax credits for children taking music lessons here at home or whether we are talking about the poorest of the poor who depend on microcredit around the world.
Indifference to those less fortunate, whether at home or abroad, that is the common thread running through the government.
Cypress Hills—Grasslands
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, 10 and a half years go by very quickly. I am proud to be back again with the support of so many good citizens of Cypress Hills—Grasslands. They eagerly expect good solid leadership as we carry through on long time commitments.
The long gun registry, that thorn in the side of westerners, will be revoked. The taxpayers' subsidization of political parties will be reduced. Farmers will actually be able to make their own business decisions. This is why I came to Ottawa.
It was not that long ago that I went to my business partners, my sister and her husband Wendy and Wendell Patzer, to see what they thought of me running for election. They were supportive, so we went ahead.
Over the years my mother has questioned me as to why I am doing this, especially after some particularly biting letter to the editor, but through it all she keeps praying for us. Sheila has been my heart for almost 30 years.
Volunteers have helped us election after election after election. My exceptional staff has reached out to so many constituents so effectively.
Once again, I thank my constituents of Cypress Hills—Grasslands for the privilege of representing them here in this great institution.
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
François Pilon Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to take advantage of my first speech in the House to thank all the people in Laval—Les Îles who voted for me and all the volunteers who worked for me, and to congratulate all my colleagues on their election. Let me add that I am proud to be part of the great NDP family and that I will do everything I can to help families in my riding.
I rise in the House of Commons today to tell the Conservative government that it is high time to relax the laws on obtaining visitor visas. In my riding, as in many others in Canada, families cannot come together for weddings or funerals of loved ones because of the challenges involved in getting a visitor visa.
Powell River
Statements by Members
June 8th, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
John Weston West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the people of Powell River and all others in the magnificent riding that I represent.
Maclean's magazine recently honoured Catalyst Paper Corporation of Powell River as one of Canada's 50 most socially responsible companies and Corporate Knights magazine named Catalyst one of Canada's 20 best corporate citizens.
I am honoured to have been re-elected to represent the great riding of West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country. There we will find some of Canada's most innovative and hard-working people whose efforts benefit not only our community, but also those of Canadians across the nation.
I would also like to salute the city of Powell River, which yesterday received the prestigious 2011 Willis Award for Innovation for its pioneering partnership with Catalyst.
In this global economic crisis, Powell River has worked closely with Catalyst, easing the company's taxes and keeping Canadians at work.
The people of Powell River and Catalyst exemplify the winning spirit of Canadian entrepreneurs. It is Canadians like them who have made our economic action plan a world-leading success.
Small Business
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Bernard Trottier Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, as this is the first time I rise in the House, I would like to thank the constituents of Etobicoke—Lakeshore for having placed their trust in me.
I also want to congratulate you on your election. You are a breath of fresh air for the House.
I rise today to speak to an important measure announced by my colleague, the finance minister, when he brought down the budget on Monday. Our government is giving small businesses a hiring credit of up to $1,000. More than half a million businesses will be able to benefit from this credit. That is a concrete measure to help create jobs across the country.
Our government is a firm believer that small businesses drive our economy and we will always support them.
Conservative Government
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Dan Harris Scarborough Southwest, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am truly honoured and humbled by the confidence shown in me by the voters of Scarborough Southwest by electing me as their representative in the House of Commons.
In stark contrast to the Conservative government, I intend to represent all the people of Scarborough Southwest. I intend to use my time in this chamber to pressure the government to work for all Canadians struggling to make ends meet and to live with security and dignity.
The Conservatives have missed a chance to work for all Canadians, including the millions who did not vote for them. They have missed the opportunity to make life more affordable, to lift seniors out of poverty and provide new Canadians with adequate settlement services.
The intense personal stories I have heard from my constituents will motivate me in my work as their MP. Voters in Scarborough Southwest voted for change, and I intend to voice that message at every opportunity.
Automotive Industry
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Dave Van Kesteren Chatham-Kent—Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government is standing up for Canadian workers. Today, the Minister of Industry highlighted opportunities that lie ahead for the automotive industry.
Canada's economic action plan has helped create and maintain jobs and has helped firms modernize their operations. We will continue to strengthen our industries, such as auto parts manufacturing, with our low tax plan to protect the economy, continued deductions for modernizing plants and facilities and incentives for hiring new workers.
Our government is working with President Obama and his administration to deliver on the shared vision for perimeter security and economic competitiveness. We anticipate these new long-term partnerships will accelerate the legitimate flow of people and goods, while strengthening security and economic competitiveness.
With the restructuring of two of our key auto manufacturers and the worst of the recession behind us, the automotive industry is looking to the future. Now is the time to seize the opportunities that come with this upward momentum.
Plaisance Heritage Centre
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Mylène Freeman Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to rise in this House to represent the people of Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel. First, I would like to thank them for placing their trust in me in the recent election.
As I speak for the first time in the House, I would like to point out the exceptional work of the North Nation Mills Corporation's workers and volunteers, who are preparing for the new tourist season at the Plaisance Heritage Centre and Plaisance Falls. Their goal is to showcase the history of this village and its neighbouring communities. The Plaisance Heritage Centre helps keep the origins and the development of the Petite-Nation area alive in our memories.
Such initiatives contribute to the development and vitality of our villages and, therefore, I am proud to recognize the exceptional work done by all those involved.
We wish them much success in 2011.
International Trade
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is no surprise that our Conservative government is committed to expanding free trade because it creates new jobs and economic growth for hard-working Canadians. That is what we said during the campaign and that is what we are going to deliver.
We understand, as most Canadians do, that international trade is fundamentally a kitchen table issue. Almost 60% of our annual GDP and one in four Canadian jobs is directly or indirectly dependent on our exports.
Today the new NDP international trade critic is quoted as saying: "I don't accept that the NDP is opposed to trade deals."
I think the record is clear. Our party is for creating jobs through free trade while the NDP has not supported a single free trade agreement.
New jobs and economic growth to benefit Canadians continues to be our focus. We ask the opposition parties to work with us to strengthen and build trade opportunities that will be crucial to Canada's long-term economic success.

Mr. Speaker, the NHL will be returning to Manitoba as the hopes and dreams of thousands were realized on May 31 when it was announced that the Atlanta Thrashers would be relocated to Winnipeg.
There was a request that the team pre-sell 13,000 season tickets by June 20. After some initial ticket offers to Manitoba hockey fans, the season tickets went on sale to the public on June 4 at 12:00 noon and 17 minutes later they were all gone. A waiting list of 8,000 with a $50 deposit has now been fulfilled.
I am proud to call Winnipeg my home. In my opinion it is the home of the greatest hockey fans in the world. Like most, I want our team to be called the Winnipeg Jets and I look forward to watching my team compete for the Stanley Cup.
I look forward to being a part of the whiteouts, and some of the loudest and most energized crowds that the NHL will ever have.
Go Jets go.

Mr. Speaker, Canada remains gravely concerned about the situation in Syria, and the ongoing use of violence and torture against innocent people. Syria's blatant violations of its own human rights obligations threaten the security of the Middle East, a region which is undergoing important transition.
On May 24, our government took concrete actions against Syria, including various sanctions and imposing a freeze on the assets of those associated with the violent regime. Furthermore, Canada has called in the Syrian chargé d'affaires to raise our concerns and to once again call on Syria to cease the use of force against peaceful demonstrations.
The actions this weekend in the Golan demonstrate a regime that is becoming more isolated and desperate. It is an attempt to distract both domestically and internationally from its own failures and shortcomings, and Israel has every right to defend itself.
Today we hear that Britain and France will be bringing forward a resolution to the United Nations Security Council condemning the repression, and demanding accountability and action.
We will continue to work with our allies in the hopes that the regime will change its ways and end its brutal assault against the Syrian people.

i'm really interested in yerba mate, but so far all i've tried are a couple of flavored blends from teavana--"mate lemon blast" and "mate vana." i tried those first because i heard mate could be a little lacking in the flavor department, but i think i might like to try some plain and mix mint or something in on my own to taste.
anybody have suggestions for where i could find the best yerba mate online, or how you prefer to drink it?

Topic: Testing for url
I've just started dabbling with TDD. What I want to write is this:
assert_select "a[href=#{url_for :action => :new}]", nil, "Should have link to Create Account page"
This obviously does not work, because the url_for method is not available in the test environment. Could anyone clue me into how this could be done in a good way?

Trump takes charge: Sworn in as nation's 45th president
In defense of school teachers
There are a lot of reasons I wouldn't want to be a public school teacher these days.
First and foremost, they've become punching bags for conservatives who don't care much about education but do care an awful lot about busting unions. The biggest shame there is that we let them get away with it. We've let them paint teachers as lazy, greedy and not very good at their jobs.
None of that is true, of course. There are bad teachers and lazy teachers, sure. But I'll bet you the vast majority care deeply about what they do and are good at it.
It's not their fault that test scores are down while poverty and crime are up. We're the ones who give them kids unready to learn, who don't read to them, who don't bother to instill the values of discipline and drive.
We're hypocrites when it comes to education, to be honest with you. We complain bitterly that the schools aren't doing their jobs and blame it all on teachers, but do we spend more money to fix the perceived problems? No. We spend less.
And who tries to make up for it, despite all of the undeserved criticism they get? Teachers. I was reminded of that fact by this recent Facebook post by a teacher friend of mine. If her words don't give you a twinge of guilt, I don't know what will. She writes:
"As those of you in Michigan know, by law, a school district must provide any supplies required for use in the classroom. This includes such basics as pencils, pens and paper, but could stretch as far as calculators. District budgets have been repeatedly slashed and funds for individual teachers have sharply declined. In the English department (of my school), we used to get around $20-25 per section. It's now down to $20 total. Virtually all of our English Department budget goes to lined paper. We used to be able to buy index cards, rolls of colored paper and miscellaneous supplies, like staples and paper clips, to be divided among department members. Some teachers would get a few boxes of that practically transparent, rip-one's-nose-off tissue.
"At the end of last year, after realizing I had gone through over 400 pencils, I made a vow that I was not going to buy any supplies this year with my own funds. However, as any self-respecting office supplies junkie can tell you, that vow was crushed the minute I started thinking about activities that are part of my curriculum and what supplies they require. I know many, many parents can't afford all that is used in my class and I refuse to put any student in the position of being a 'have not.'
"Two shopping trips later, the grand total for this year is approximately $576. That does not include paper towels, desk cleaner, Kleenex, Band-Aids and other disposable items that I make available to students. I know there are things that we could probably live without, like file folders, glue sticks and markers, but I also bought several binders and index tabs to help students who can't afford them. I tell them to see me privately.
"I am not alone. Most teachers spend a good amount of their own money to make sure their students have what they need. But I wish parents would join together and make some noise in Lansing. Schools need money."
I couldn't agree more. And if you don't, if you're thinking, "Why is she so upset about buying a few supplies?" let me ask you this: How ticked off would you be if you had to buy the pens, paper, copier ink and all the paper for half the people in your office.
Case rested.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In short: Great race, only a few niggles!In full: I ran this feeling below par and nearly dropped out at the last minute due to illness, but I'm so pleased I didn't. It's a fast, flat course with the marshalls doing a great job. The waved start worked reasonably well, and it was a brilliant atmosphere.My only niggles were there were people starting near the front of the orange group who were walking within 300 metres! People should be more realistic with their expected times. I couldn't run freely until 1.5 miles because of congestion. Also, please, please, please - more loos next year. Us ladies can't just slip behind a bush and keep their dignity intact. I abandoned waiting eventually and just went to the start. Also, I only saw the mile markers at miles 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9.Anyway - only minor niggles. A really great day!Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Fast, well spaced, well organised, nice finish location.In full: The wave start means lot's of'leg'room - other events please take note. This is a great course for PB's ( I managed 1:19:05) and the crowd and bands are very friendly.Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Good crowd racing, great crowd supportingIn full: Very well organised for such a big event. Fantastic crowds throughout, very loud and supportive all the way around. Wave start a good idea, but a lot of slow runners in Wave 1 - get right to the front at the start if you're looking for a PB. Fast flat course, PB definitely on if you can clear the crowds in hte first two miles. Scenery a bit dull, but HMS Victory looked great in the morning sunshine. How often do we mortals get to actually run alongside names like Tulu and Ramala (albeit they were almost at the finish when I passed the 6 mile marker!)Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: A very well organised event for such a large field. In full: Good weather and a well organised event made for a very good day. I was in the first wave and was able to run freely all around the course. As last year, some of the mile markers were a bit misplaced resulting in very erratic split times. Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: So many positives for an excellent raceIn full: The organisation was superb, marking for car parks, how to get to the alloted start points , the baggage drop off.... The warm up chap was brilliant, really got everyone involvled. The course was nice and flat, nice spectators and well marshalled, nice medal..all round a brilliant race...only gripe is, who decided the 'waves', there were people in the white wave walking, surely they should have been at the back of the green, but hey with sooo many other positives it didnt spoilt it for me.Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Very well organised raceIn full: Enjoyed this race a lot except for the scenery. With the exception of the last 2 miles, one of the dullest courses I have seen. Were the waves arranged by predicted finishing times ? If so, something wasn't right. I was in Wave 2 and was passing Wave 1 runners by the 4 mile marker, and I'm not that quick !Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Superb race, really enjoyed it, atmosphere was fantasticIn full: Shame the showers were'nt working for me by the time I got to them. Apart from that I really enjoyed this run and will definitely do it again next year - nice medal too.Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Fantastic raceIn full: I have only one complaint which was that i missed most of the mile markers because they were hidden behind spectators. Everything else was perfect from the warm up to the finish. Well done to everyone involved.Date of review: October 9, 2005

Topic: Production setup: Php front with Rails on subdomain
I have a PHP front end that does that CMS. For queries and database operations - Rails.
After reading around I believe an option is to set up Rails as a subdomain of the php domain.
What I haven't figured out are the step I need to take to set it up.
So for instance, on the php site, the index could be http://www.mydomain.com/index.php
Then the user clicks the menu option to get a table of all registered users:
This make sense ? Can anyone help ?

Bubba,I don't recall seeing the weights of the dough balls for each size pizza, except that one of the videos showed four dough balls for the 12" size. Did I miss the different dough ball weights and corresponding pizza sizes?Peter
Bubba,I am converting your recipe to baker's percent format. Can you tell me the pizza sizes for the large and slice pizzas?Thanks.Peter
How to spin dough http://youtu.be/xt1h90N-_wA
Fantastic dough spinning tutorial! I was amazed that you do the actual spin in less than 10 seconds. I've been using the cowboy technique but I'm going to try your method next time. You really did a great job by repeating the process over and over and in slow motion. I think I understand now. Again fantastic job. It's much appreciated. That towel idea is great too. I just may get an old towel and cut it into a 14 inch diamameter disk for practicing my spinning. ---pete---
I just tried it again. I weighed everything (including the liquids) by Pete's table above. I got pretty much the same result. I don't know if it is the KABF or something else, but it is coming out too dry. Either too much flour or not enough water. Has anyone else tried this yet with KABF?Edit: I went back and watched the video again. Maybe the consistency I got today wasn't too different from the video. It is hard to tell. It definitely wasn't as wet as any other recipe I have made. It feels dry to the touch. It was more like playdough that had been left out of the can for a day or so. If I tried to ball it, the backside of the dough was tearing. All the other doughs I have tried were wet and would stick to my fingers. This one had no stick.
Hi Bubba, Thanks SO much for these tips. I've been trying to make good pizza for years now, and I've always thought that a 3-day cold rise was ideal. I'm going to stick with 1 to 2 days and see if that helps. I'll also watch the videos....Marie
Bubba,Thanks for the tips. I will definitely put them to good use. I grew up in Tucson. What was the name of your place there?
That was when star wars was released. I was a working pizza maker in those days. I did not own my first shop until much later. I worked for a while at a place on Fort Lowell Boulevard called Da Vinci. This place was as much a dinner house as well as a busy pizza station and was owned by a hard working chef whose name was Cosmos.And one of my favorite places to work that had great pie and was a place out on the end of speedway was called, what else?' New York Pizza. It was owned by a gentlemen named Bill Touscano. His sons ran the place day to day. I learned a lot there from Billy the younger.
Hi Bubba,Here's a link to a 2010 article in the Tuscon Weekly reminiscing about DaVinci's that I felt you might be interested in:http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/italian-style/Content?oid=2303030Thanks for sharing your experience.Gratzi,--PaulThanks for the link. Cosmos was one of the hardest working men I have ever known.
Peter I know you said the EVOO would make up the difference to correct for the liquid. I haven't made this recipe yet but I had a suspicion about this.
I weighed everything the second time around and it still seemed dry to me, but I am hoping someone else with more experience will give it a go.
Slybarman...I agree with you-- the formulation seems it would be way too dry. This formula uses over 6 cups of flour and only 2 cups of water plus the EVOO - I would think it still would be dry and hard. Bubba, in the video it looks like more than 2 cups of water are poured in.... the only items that weren't measured in front of the camera the water and flour. Peter I know you said the EVOO would make up the difference to correct for the liquid. I haven't made this recipe yet but I had a suspicion about this. When I make my doughs I'm using around 3/4 cups of water to every two cups of flour. I'm getting my scale fixed and will be able to weigh my amounts for this recipe so I'll report back... Also could altitude play a role in all of this??... wetter doughs at higher altitudes with less liquid??.... Tiz a puzzlement... comments Bubba??? THanks...
Bubba,Do you mean a pint, rather than a quart?Peter

Aircell Acquires LiveTV's Airfone
Gogo subsidiary Aircell has completed the acquisition of LiveTV LLC's Airfone business unit. The acquisition includes LiveTV's 1 MHz air-to-ground spectrum license, and the Airfone in-flight communications service, network infrastructure and operational assets.
Airfone's service, which currently operates on frequencies adjacent to Aircell's, will be permanently decommissioned at the end of 2013. Aircell is offering replacement incentives for its voice and internet systems for affected Airfone customers.
"In-flight communications have become an indispensable part of the business aviation experience. To ensure operators aren't without needed communications capabilities after the December 31 Airfone service shutdown, customers with MagnaStar units are encouraged to begin planning their transition now," said John Wade, executive vice president and general manager of Aircell.

U.S. Paralympics Sled Hockey National Team Tired of Looking Up to Canada
Andy Yohe doesn't hide his discontent with the Canadian sled hockey team, a thorn in the side of a talented but underachieving U.S. squad.
"We've been getting beat by Canada, and we're not very happy," he said. "They know we're right behind them. We're going to let it be known we're coming after them."
The road to redemption begins Tuesday at the World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, where the U.S. will face Japan, Norway and Canada, the reigning Paralympic and world champion.
Twelve Americans return from the 2006 team that won bronze in Turin, Italy, and defensemen Lonnie Hannah, Christopher Manns and Kip St. Germaine are back from the 2002 squad that claimed gold in Salt Lake City.
"We have that experience with the Paralympic Games," said Yohe, a forward. "It's not going to overwhelm us like it did in Turin. We'll be ready for it."
Asked about the prospect of topping Canada, forward Taylor Chace said: "They've got a lot of veteran guys that have been around for a while. They understand the game a little bit better. With hard work, I think we can beat them."

Stillman Creek Ranch
DescriptionThe Stillman Creek Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located about sixteen (16) km northeast of Oakley, Utah up the Weber River. Higher elevation range from 10000 feet in the north to 8800 feet in the south. Stillman Creek is the major drainage that cuts this unit. Stillman Creek ranges in elevation from 10000 feet to 7200 feet. The elevation on the Stillman Creek Range CWMU ranges from 7200 feet to 10400 feet, a difference of 3200 feet. The most common elevation on the CWMU is 9000 feet.
Nearly fifty percent of the Stillman Creek Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU)is Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). Scattered throughout this Aspen Forest and Woodland are large patches of Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). Towards the northeast corner is a large area of Rocky Mountain Alpine Bedrock and Scree (2). Besides the Aspen Forest and Woodland, Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23), Rocky Mountain Subalpine Dry-Mesic Spruce-fir Forest and Woodland (26), and Rocky Mountain Subalpine Mesic Spruce-Fir Forest and Woodland (28) add to the Forest and Woodland character of the Unit. Minor amounts of the Rocky Mountain Subalpine Mesic Meadow (70) and Rocky Mountain Alpine-Montane Wet Meadow (86) are distributed throughout the Forest and Woodland.
One of the Stillman Creek Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, COALVILLE (421590), is about 10.5 km south from the south edge of the CWMU. COALVILLE has thirty-four (34) years of records, 1974 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.71 inches, but it can be as high as 7.09 inches or as low as 1.68 inches. During the 91-day FALL period, 19 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 10 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 14.8 inches but can be as high as 32.0 inches. FALL temperature at COALVILLE averages 43.4 degrees F. but can be as high as 87.0 degrees F. or as low as -17.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 61 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.
