Wow...how much did that set ya back bro?
It was right around the time the flips were being taken off the market, so I did alright- I think it was $129.
Maybe we can learn about the leoparding spots from Marcos own masterpieces, pizza picshttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,2186.0.htmlhttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,861.0.html
I'm jus a guy trying to learn the "proper" way.......is this a "defective" dough? Thanks!
I have a suggestion:Let's find all the pictures of the vera pizza napoletana posted (by anyone) on this site in 2005, than it would be a fairer comparison, wouldn't it?Moderator, can that be arranged just as a learning experience for us all?
To this, I would add that one of the seminal threads on the forum on the Neapolitan style pizza in the 2005 period was the one at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1415.0.html. Bill posted links to photos but they are no longer viewable, although David posted some at Reply 32 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1415.msg13592.html#msg13592. In both cases, a dough recipe by Marco was used.Beyond the above, I do not recall seeing a lot of photos of authentic Neapolitan pizzas. Peter
Thank you Peter, that proves my point. In 2005 Marco was already on the forfront of making Pizza Napoletana as opposed to anyone else on this site who has just been learning from him.You guys might disagree, but personally I think he deserves a bit more credit and respect from us all. Plus, he has shown plenty of pictures and recipes of his pizzas over the years..... not just preached about it......-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please feel free to delete is anyone finds this post offensive. i agree we are way to sensitive about criticis. marco at times is very blunt, which may be a language issue. he knows neapolitan pizza
As I see it, the problem is the same as it has always been.
Marco's style hasn't changed for the 7 years I've been on this forum. It is what it is, which is very Neapolitan. If you feel he is in violation of the forum's rules for conduct, contact Steve. I also wish he were more forthcoming, but I'm not holding my breath. I hope he's saving it for his long-awaited book.
Oh I agree Bill. and believe me I'm thankful for what we DO have by way of information from Marco in the past. I just think it's a shame there's a large body of knowledge trapped there, that doesn't seem to be coming out anytime soon.
His living is made consulting on Neapolitan pizza. Why on earth would he divulge that information and make his consultancy worthless?But I will say he is given all of us enough info to make some incredible pizza over the last 7 years he has been posting. Being able to decipher his sometimes cryptic nuggets of info has been extremely satisfying to me.John
Actually I think his work covers more than just consulting on Neapolitan pizza but I don't see how being less cryptic equates to devaluing his real life consultancy.

Peter McConnell umpired in 22 Tests who attracted controversy in two series. In 1990-91 he was embroiled in a row when he responded to an enquiry from Phil Tufnell as to how many balls remained in an over by snapping: "Count 'em yourself you Pommie ***." The following season his final appearance, in a Test against India, was, according to Wisden, "marred by controversy over lbw decisions - eight times Indians were given out, while all but two of their own appeals were rejected".

Topic: The Mystery of Column Indexes
I am pretty green with this dba stuff. I get the gyst of what indexes do.. they are supposed to optimize performance on repetitive find queries. But I dont understand the SQL lingo behind them..
For example, I look at my db table and I see that my indexed columns show up, but under the column named "Null" they both mark "YES".. does this mean my indexes are Null?
There are other niggling quesitons like this, but more than anything, I am just curious
Why and when do you ues indexes?

quote H_JagerI was saying that in the UK there are more high quality options for cases at the £60 price point, so the HAF 912 Plus is just one of many options; it is not a clear winner.duneworld
Not quite sure if you are saying that the 300 or the 912 has more options....
But I think they are about evenly matched. Here are my thoughts: The hard drive cages are better oriented in the 912, The cooling is better out-of-the-box in the 300, the aesthetics are simpler in the 300, there are dedicated spots for SSD's in the 912.
quote from HAF912 Review???? Whaaaaa ???? In the graphs shown in the review, the only time the 912 had better cooling was in the last HDD temps. All the other temps were higher, sometimes significantly higher, esp. the CPU temps which are probably the most important, or at least as important as the GPU temps. Other than the single off-base comment, I found the review to be well done and well written. Nice work, and nice case!this case has better average cooling performance than the Cooler Master 932

But isn't it interesting that Aaron McCargo's show is still on during the daytime hours only, whereas Adam has the more prized primetime slot?
Well it's Sunday versus Monday. I don't know what Food Network values more: 1) Any time slot on Sunday because it's during the weekend or 2) prime time slot on Monday. On the face of it, Food Network appears to be catering more to Adam's show. I think they realize that it has a potentially greater viewing audience since it isn't just about food. It's also about dirty jobs and antics.
Now, if they would just give John Besh another shot at Next Iron Chef.

Crowley Carries Stony Brook over Bryant
from press release
STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Seniors Kevin Crowley (New
Westminster, British Columbia) and Brett Drost (Wading River, N.Y.)
each had two goals in a decisive, 7-1 third quarter as the #12
Stony Brook men's lacrosse team rolled past Bryant, 13-6, at
Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Crowley finished the day with four goals and an assist for Stony Brook (4-3), which defeated Bryant (3-5) for a second straight year. His five points give him 207 for his career, tops among all active Division I players.
Junior Adam Dahms (Herndon, Va.) and seniors Timmy Trenkle (Commack, N.Y.) and Jordan McBride (New Westminster, British Columbia) also scored in the third as the Seawolves took a 10-5 lead after trailing 4-3. The seven-goal output was Stony Brook's most in a quarter this season.
The defense, led by junior Kyle Moeller (South Setauket, N.Y.), held Bryant to just two second-half goals. Moeller had five ground balls and two caused turnovers to lead all close defensemen.
Gary Crowley had three goals and Peter McMahon tallied three assists to lead the Bulldogs.
"We've been practicing hard, but haven't been able to put it together on game days," coach Rick Sowell said. "Kevin Crowley put on his back today and led us to a gritty victory."
Bryant took a 4-1 lead after a goal from Max Weisenberg at 11:59 of the second quarter. But Crowley went to work for Stony Brook, scoring two straight goals, including a goal from junior Robbie Campbell (Delta, British Columbia) with one second left in the first half.
"Kevin's goal just before the first half was huge for us,"
Sowell said. "Instead of going down 4-2, we're down just one with
momentum going our way."
Trenkle's unassisted goal at 7:22 of the third quarter capped a streak of six straight goals for the Seawolves. Crowley's man-up goal ended a drought of more than 20 minutes for the Bulldogs.
Crowley and McBride scored 23 seconds apart before an unassisted goal from Drost with 40 seconds left in the third quarter gave Stony Brook a 10-5 lead.
Senior Tom Compitello (Hauppauge, N.Y.), who added three assists, scored unassisted at 5:35 of the fourth quarter. Campbell tacked on a goal with 2:52 left in regulation.
Senior Adam Rand (Niantic, Conn.) won 12 of 22 draws and had eight ground balls. His second face-off won gave him 700 for his career, making him just the fifth player in NCAA Division I history to reach that mark.
The Seawolves were 15-for-15 on clear attempts and won the ground ball margin, 34-16.
Stony Brook, picked first in the America East preseason poll, opens conference play against UMBC on Friday, April 1 at 7:00 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on the CBS College Sports Network.

Your giant leap for wildlife
Ever had an idea that could change the world?
Do you have a solution to Australia's water crisis? Can you rid Australia of cane toads? Can you reduce our use or waste of electricity? Can you stop food waste? Can you help stop habitat loss or protect a threatened species?
Taronga is offering up to $50,000 for the most innovative ideas that will inspire communities to live more sustainably.
The world's top minds agree that if we all keep using resources at the current rate, the earth will not be able to sustain our populations. We would be leaving an uninhabitable planet for our children.
The Taronga Conservation Society Australia is looking for wholly original and innovative ideas to transform local communities and inspire people around the globe to embrace change.
We don't just want you to just have the idea; we want to help you put it into action!
With the Taronga Green Grants, together, we can help humans and wildlife share the planet into the future.
Examples of the types of innovation we're looking for include:
- Earth Hour: by demonstrating how easy reducing your footprint can be – www.earthhour.org.au
- Clean Up Australia Day: by reducing the risk of devastating pollution in natural areas - www.cleanup.org.au
- Take 3: a clean beach initiative: by taking three pieces of rubbish each time you leave the beach, waterway or anywhere, you have made a difference – www.take3.org.au (inaugural Green Grants winner 2011).
All innovations that help people and wildlife share a future will be considered, however, innovations or invention that align with Taronga's focus areas (listed below) may be prioritised:
- New ideas for native habitat protection, regeneration and connectivity
- Reducing waste
- Stopping Wildlife Trade
- Marine Conservation
- Developing a system for valuing biodiversity in commercial and economic decisions
Section 1: Eligibility
- Australian individuals, community groups, schools, parents and friends groups, councils, indigenous groups, environmental education centres, businesses and non government organisations who fulfil the entry requirements are permitted to enter an application. Applicants under the age of 18 must obtain parent/guardian permission before applying.
- Directors, management, employees, officers and contractors (and their immediate families) of Taronga or of the agencies or companies associated with the promotion of this grant cannot be lead agents in an application but may be advisors, and contributors. "Immediate families" means spouse, ex-spouse, de-facto spouse, parent, stepparent, grandparent, step-grandparent, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, natural or adopted child, and sibling or step-sibling (whether natural or adopted by a parent), whether or not they live in the same household as the director, manager, employee, officer or contractor. Any project that would like advice from a Taronga employee, please contact Dr Jo Wiszniewski at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Applications from every Australian state and territory are welcome.
Section 2: Conditions of Application
Because we are seeking innovation, applicants have few limitations, however, only applications that meet these conditions will be considered:
The successful project must be undertaken in Australia
Multiple applications are permitted, subject to the following: (a) each application must be substantially unique; and (b) each application must be submitted separately and in accordance with entry requirements. Once an application has been sent, it cannot be further modified or edited.
No project should present an unreasonable level of risk to participant safety, project financial stability or reputation.
Projects and their personnel must adhere to all laws and by-laws of the area in which the project is undertaken, including but not limited to those governing copyright, content, defamation, privacy, publicity and the access or use of others' intellectual property.
Successful applicants will be required to sign a contract with Taronga outlining responsibilities of all parties.
Intellectual property within the unsuccessful applications will remain with the applicant, and all assessors will be bound by confidentiality agreements.
Intellectual property of the successful applications will be shared equally with Taronga unless otherwise negotiated.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they own all rights associated with the application and project activity without limitation
Applicants must be, or will be, working in close partnership with an incorporated body that carries public liability insurance that can accept and administer the grant funds on their behalf (such as local council, environment education centres or an incorporated community group).
Any applications involving animal involvement must be approved by an animal ethics committee prior to initiation
All award funds will be used to execute the proposed actions.
The winning proposal(s) will likely gain further advantage by being used in Taronga conservation and education campaigns.
By submission of an application, applicants agree that Taronga has the sole right to decide all matters and disputes arising from this promotion and that all decisions of Taronga are final and binding.
All applications must be sent electronically to Dr Jo Wiszniewski at email@example.com.
Section 3: Guidelines
Each proposal will be assessed using criteria aimed at determining the conservation benefit to wildlife. The questions below are designed to draw out comparable information on each proposal, and should be answered by each applicant/group. Including examples and evidence of how the proposal meets each criterion will assist in evaluation of the proposal. Any proposals that do not answer these questions will not be reviewed.
The prize money may be given to one large project to the value of $50,000, or two smaller projects to the value of $30,000 and $20,000 ($50,000 in total).
Submissions may be in document form (no more than 4 pages) or in audio-visual format of up to 5 minutes in duration if that better supports the concepts being conveyed (even videos must answer the questions in the application).
Cover page to include:
- Proposal Title (100 characters or less)
- Name(s) of project leaders and contact details.

- Does participation/support from Taronga add value to the project?
With 1.6 million visitors annually, education and awareness programs may bring additional benefit and leverage the prize money through collaboration with our zoos.
- What potential pitfalls can you see and how have you or will you engage the necessary stakeholders?
- Who are your partners and what is their expertise and track record of effecting conservation outcomes?

46 Days, 11 Hours, 20 Minutes - Page 2
When I arrived at the base of Killington Peak, I looked up at my loving, caring, sympathetic husband with puppy-dog eyes.
"Honey, (I decided to soften him up with a sweet moniker) I don't think I can do this." I said. "My body is rejecting the challenge. It just feels like I am physically falling apart."
Then Brew, who believed in a life with balance and hikes that included naps and meditation, looked into my weepy eyes and said, "You can't quit. Not now." He kept going, and I heard what he was saying, but I couldn't get past the first three words.
I couldn't believe my ears. I had expected Brew to coddle and comfort me, not to tell me to keep hiking. It was so contrary to his personality and demeanor that it made me realize how much he believed in me. Brew knew how much this opportunity meant to me, and even though we were 1700 miles away from Springer Mountain, the end of the trail heading south, and I was suffering from shin splints and diarrhea, he still believed that I could set the record.
I left the road and slowly, painfully, made my way toward the top of Killington Peak. Once I reached the other side of the mountain, there was no looking back. Brew's belief had rekindled my desire to set the record. The trail had taken away any sense of pride or false notion that I could do this on my own. I knew that I could not be successful without Brew, and we would only achieve our goal with the help of others.
Just south of Vermont, the terrain and weather became more agreeable and my shin splints finally started to subside, though it took over 1000 miles for the pain to fully go away.
Our daily routine consisted of waking up at 4:45 a.m., begin hiking at 5 a.m. and then continue hiking for the next 16 to 17 hours. My intermittent breaks came at the road crossings where I met Brew. However, it was not a time to relax. Instead, it was my job to ingest as many calories as possible, bandage any problem blisters, ice my shins, and then get back on the trail as soon as possible. I would continue hiking until 9 or 10 p.m. when I came to a good camping site or road crossing. There I would quickly try to eat dinner, wipe down my limbs with Wet Ones, and then crawl into my sleeping bag for six hours of sleep. And sometimes those six hours were too much.
Brew woke up one night to find me pawing at the door of the tent.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I gotta find the trail." I said. Then I continued to try and escape.
Brew put his hand on my and started shaking me, "Where are you going? It's night time, it's not time to hike."
Finally, I awoke from my dream , a dream where I was trying desperately to find the trail. After that, I was never allowed to take a nighttime bathroom visit without an inquisition.
From the very beginning, the numbers were overwhelming. Talk of "miles per hour" and "daily averages" psyched me out. We occasionally talked about where Andrew Thompson (the former AT record-holder) would be relative to our location, but that didn't motivate me either. Andrew is a great person and amazing athlete, worthy of a trail record. Even when I tried to vilify him in my mind, it still didn't inspire me. The trail record wasn't about numbers or about beating Andrew Thompson; it was about doing my best. That became our mantra. Whenever I left the car at a road crossing, Brew would yell after me, "just do your best."
Brew and I worked together as one unit, and I have never in my life trusted someone so completely. We also benefited from the invaluable support of numerous friends that assisted us along the trail: some provided food, others helped with logistics, and some hiked with me and "muled" for me (aka, carried my pack).

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (286 votes).
In full: This was my 5th of the year heard some bad things about this race after doing it I will do it again people were very nice and kind parking was great ,ok you hit traffic but just get on with it I'll do this race againDate of review: February 10, 2014
In short: Good for a pb half marathonIn full: Good if you are doing a half marathon to do 2 laps has got to be dull as to be fair not that much support on the streets, Wolverhampton is such a big city Ican't see why they onlt send you to one corner of it,Also as soon as you go out of wolverhampton to south staffs area you are on the road with cars... not nice if its your 1st competetive marathon.But the DJ/comintator at the end tried to give every one a name check and got the crowd going.Very well organised,happy marshals... just a shame they do 2 laps when it could go through some.. lets say nicer parts of WolvesDate of review: September 12, 2013
In short: Wolverhampton the 6thIn full: Enjoyed race took time off from last year but running since 2008. I started 3 minutes late but personally, I enjoyed the twists and turns as gave me that push every now and again and got me a PB on the course. Thanks again to the organisers, volunteer marshalls, fellow runners, supporters, banks beer bike and the Asian ladies who were giving away free orange juice and bottled water out of their own expense from their house. Will be back next year Date of review: September 7, 2013
In short: Nice atmosphere & friendly marathon runners. Well organised & looking at previous years comments re medals etc the organisers had listened. Good day outDate of review: September 5, 2013
Date of review: September 4, 2013
In short: Fairly flat course, lots of water stations, could do without the suburbs!Date of review: September 3, 2013
In short: friendly atmosphere, "testing" route.In full: Dear Wolverhampton race organisers, please straighten out that section through the estate its horrible! thanks. Enjoyed everything else though...especially the beer truck at the end.Date of review: September 3, 2013
In short: Good Value and Friendly AtmosphereIn full: My first marathon for a while...last one was Sydney so the views are never going to compare to the harbour! Overall well organised, nice welcoming atmosphere at the start and especially finish where all runners are announced by name as they approach the line. Only gripe was on what was a pretty lonely 2nd lap there were a lack of marshalls a couple of times and I had to rely on signs for directions at some stages through the housing estate which was a bit difficult when you are exhausted.Having said that, most marshalls were very good and supportive.A few long slow hills near the end which was challenging.Plenty of water at frequent intervals, some nice support from the local community although a bit quiet in stages.Nice medal and T-shirt at the end, my son ate the Greggs biscuit and crisps in the goody bag! Good value for money overall and a nice day out.Date of review: September 3, 2013
In short: OK, but nothing to write home aboutIn full: Not the most exciting of marathons but certainly not the worst.I smashed my 10 year old PB but that probably has more to do with how much training ive done as ive been doing ultras this year.I can see why people say its not PB friendly as there are a few climbs and from mile 22 onwards they are testing, though there's nothing brutal. My main gripe was fighting the traffic around mile 25.Overall nice finish, decent support and a friendly enough race. There's definitely worse city marathons.Date of review: September 2, 2013
In short: Poor T-Shirt No energy drinks or gels, Some marshalls either not paying attention or chatting!In full: A fair race though I've had a few grumbles above but flat/undulating? Really? Er No the word Flat shouldn't be mentioned anywhere near this race! No Mega hilly but enough undulations especially late in the race to test even experienced marathoners.Date of review: September 2, 2013

Support World CouncilWith Amazon Smiles!
MADISON, Wis. — Seven women from Canada, Kenya, Macedonia, Malawi and Thailand will join nearly 100 women from 11 countries for the fifth annual Global Women's Leadership Forum in Ottawa, Canada, thanks to scholarships funded by Lake Trust Credit Union (Mich., USA), Numerica Credit Union (Wash., USA) and The Members Group (Iowa, USA). The annual forum will be held in conjunction with World Council of Credit Unions' World Credit Union Conference at the Ottawa Convention Centre, July 14–17, 2013.
"We are happy to welcome these dynamic credit union leaders to the World Credit Union Conference and Global Women's Leadership Forum in Ottawa," said Brian Branch, World Council president and CEO. "We look forward to learning from their diverse experiences and to their continued involvement with the global credit union community."
The 2013 Global Women's Leadership Network scholarship recipients are:
Scholarship recipients receive varying levels of financial support for their participation in the Global Women's Leadership Forum, as well as a one-year Network membership. The Members Group also sponsored an additional membership for Elenita San Roque, CEO, Association of Asian Confederation of Credit Unions.
In honor of former Entrust Financial Credit Union CEO Susan Adams, who passed away April 8 after a battle with cancer, Arizona State Credit Union established the Susan Adams Scholarship Fund to support credit union women from developing countries through their participation in the Global Women's Leadership Network. The scholarship will offset membership dues and costs associated with the Network's annual forum for the next three years.
"Susan supported initiatives that were all about making life better for those in need. As a woman in the industry, she cared about the opportunity that she could provide as a mentor and leader to others," said David Doss, Arizona State Credit Union president and CEO, who served with Adams on the PSCU board of directors. He noted that Adams and her husband, who retired last year, served the credit union industry for more than 30 years. "They were very much a credit union family committed to promoting a better future for others."
This year's Global Women's Leadership Forum participants will hear from Sheryl WuDunn, the first Asian-American Pulitzer Prize winner and co-author of New York Times best-seller Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, which inspired a PBS television series and international women's rights movement. She will present research from her book, as well as participate in a panel discussion centered on economic empowerment.
The Global Women's Leadership Network was formed in 2009 to promote the professional and personal development of credit union women around the world through one-to-one networking, social media, peer-to-peer partnerships and educational workshops. It is the only international, professional group for women credit union leaders. Learn more at www.CUwomen.org and engage with the Network on LinkedIn.
World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development agency for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.
World Council has implemented more than 290 technical assistance programs in 71 countries. Worldwide, 60,500 credit unions in 109 countries serve 223 million people. Learn more about World Council's impact around the world at www.woccu.org.

text: Staff on March 29, 2012 0 Comments Spring has officially begun and for many of us that means more free time outside of work – whether spent at baseball and soccer games, or even perusing the farmers markets on the weekends. It is a time when we want to spend less time slaving over a hot stove and instead take advantage of spring's bounty of fresh produce. One surprising way to save time in the kitchen, using fresh ingredients and keeping the kitchen cooler, is by integrating pressure cooking into your weekly meal planning routine. I know what many of you are thinking, aren't those contraptions known for being dangerous? Like many things, technological advancements have significantly improved the standards of current pressure cookers. What has changed? Current models include locking lids, back-up vents, and most importantly, features to prevent you from opening the pot before the pressure has been released. Even with all of the improvements made to pressure cookers, you still reap all of the benefits: Time Saver: Food can cook up to 70% faster. Multi-Tasking Friendly: This is my favorite benefit; once you turn on the pressure cooker you can walk away and focus your time on other important tasks. Vitamin Bonus: More vitamins and essential minerals are retained by the faster cook time. Energy Efficient: With the heat of summer approaching, nobody wants to stand over the stove for hours in a hot kitchen. Pressure cooking allows you to save energy by cooking in less time and from having to turn on the oven. Here is a great recipe from Peggy Under Pressure to get you started with your pressure cooker. Spring Risotto photo credit: Peggy Under Pressure Spring Risotto is an awesome recipe to highlight the benefits of using a pressure cooker. When traditionally cooked on the stove, making risotto is tedious and time consuming. Many people think of using pressure cookers for cooking meat but they are just as excellent at cooking vegetables. INGREDIENTS: 3 large shallots, chopped 3 cups Aborio rice 4-5 cups low sodium chicken stock 1 cup white wine + 2 tbsp white wine for shallots 1 cup frozen peas 2 cups asparagus chopped 2 cups baby spinach leaves GARNISH: Chopped chives Shredded Parmesan cheese COOKING DIRECTIONS: Press the START button on the pressure cooker and turn the setting to the browning function. Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into the pot. Place the chopped shallots into the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, pour in 2 tablespoons of dry white wine, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Press the CANCEL button on the pressure cooker turning it off. Place 3 cups of Aborio rice into the pressure cooking pot followed by 1 cup of dry white wine and 4 cups of low sodium chicken stock. Stir everything together. Close the lid and lock the pressure cooker into position. Set the pressure valve to Airtight. Depending on your model, you can select the Rice & Risotto button on your machine or manually select the time for 10 minutes. Once cooking is complete, release the pressure by turning the pressure valve to exhaust. Unlock and open the lid. Allow the KEEP WARM function to stay on for this part just for a few minutes. Check the consistency of the risotto. If it's too sticky and dry, add more stock or wine and give it a good mix. The rice should be tender but retain its shape. Throw in the asparagus, frozen or fresh peas and spinach leaves. Fold them into the rice. Shut the lid and using the warm function to heat and cook all of the vegetables. It will take around 3-5 minutes to cook through. Open the lid and check on the veggies. Once veggies are cooked, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped chives and serve immediately. — Product Recommendation: If you are in the market to purchase a pressure cooker, I would recommend the Fagor 6 Qt. Electric Pressure Cooker Plus. The control panel features "brown" and "warm" functions, and there is a delay time feature, allowing you to come home from the office to a perfectly cooked dinner.

The Inquirer
May 07, 2012
'Don't be nervous," Pennsylvania Ballet artistic director Roy Kaiser told the 23 girls and two boys with their left hands on the barre, wearing solemn expressions and numbers pinned to their neat dance clothes. "Relax and work hard."
The first of two groups of 12- to 14-year-olds followed principal dancer Arantxa Ochoa through an hour of pliés, tendus, jetés, and pirouettes last Sunday morning in the company's East Falls studios.
"She's my teacher's wife!" one girl squealed on the way out of the audition, referring to Ochoa, a calm, gentle instructor with a striking presence. "That's so cool!"
And that's the point: The company — whose current and former members, including Ochoa's spouse, Alexander Iziliaev, now teach all over the region — is about to reopen its own School of Pennsylvania Ballet after a 20-year hiatus as one of the rare troupes without its own training program.
Students will learn from dancers they've no doubt seen — or even danced with — on stage at the Academy of Music, and whom they ideally hope to follow into a career in a professional troupe. The children's cast of Pennsylvania Ballet's seasonal highlight The Nutcracker, now gleaned from academies around the region, eventually will be drawn entirely from the new school.
"Everyone in the city is excited, of course, no matter what school they currently attend," said Vanessa Ryan, whose daughter, Sarah-Gabrielle, 14, was auditioning. "I think we've been waiting for this day since the first time Sarah set foot at the Academy of Music with Pennsylvania Ballet to do Nutcracker. She was only 10."
About 170 ballet students, ages 8 to 18, came to audition last weekend from as far away as Connecticut. Many were intimately familiar with the company from their days as mice, soldiers, and angels in the company's Nutcracker. At least three of the girls had danced the part of Marie, the lead girl's role.
Stephanie Bandura, 13, from Philadelphia, was one of the more active Maries. She danced the part for two seasons and toured with the company in 2009 to the Kennedy Center in Washington. Even after she grew too tall to be on stage among the smaller children, the company called her back to film the part for the taping of the holiday show on the wall at the Comcast Center.
But she was still unsure about the new school. "I've gone to the Rock School [for Dance Education] since I was 3. I don't want to leave it," she said.

Marijuana Goes Corporate on 420
The origin of the use of 420 as a code word for pot has been debated. Some attribute it to the time of day when high schoolers at San Rafael High School in California got together to smoke, others to High Times editor Steve Hager suggesting that 4:20pm is an ideal time to get stoned. For a long time, it was thought to be a police code for marijuana smokers but that myth debunked.
Regardless, 420 is now becoming the subject of festivals and concerts, especially in Colorado and Washington state, where medicinal marijuana is legal. Even in Texas, which hasn't relaxed its marijuana laws, there are at least 10 events in Houston alone featuring the 420 moniker.
So, bring on the sponsors? Well, gingerly.
Mainstream companies aren't quite ready to embrace illegal drugs just yet, but they are sampling the market. Red Bull reached out to "fine"marijuana grower Diego Pellicer as a potential sponsor for the 420 Fest in Colorado. RedBull is a famous energy drink out of Austria known for being edgy and catering to the youth generation. Although it seems to be an oxymoron to pair an energy drink with the relaxing nature of cannabis.
Publicly-traded GrowLife
Coincidentally, earlier this week, House Bill 1523 Respect State marijuana Laws Act was introduced in Congress, which essentially will allow states to set their own laws with regards to pot. It is one of several pending before Congress now. GrowLife supports HR 1523. Scott believes that as the laws move towards taxing and regulation of pot, more companies will jump into sponsorships.

Chicken Broth
- 1 (4-pound) chicken, whole
- 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
- 2 medium carrots, quartered,
- 2 stalks celery, quartered
- 1 leek, dark tops only
- 1 medium parsnip, peeled and quartered, optional
- 3 generous sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
- 3 generous sprigs flat-leaf parsley
- 5 whole black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- About 4 quarts water
Combine the chicken, vegetables, herbs, and peppercorns in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken completely. Heat the water to just under a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a very low simmer, so that 1 or 2 bubbles break the surface of the broth about once a minute. Skim any fat and scum from the surface with a ladle, large spoon, or skimmer. (To prevent losing a lot of stock when skimming, put the skimmed liquid into a degreasing cup, and return any useable broth back to the pot.) Cook for about 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through but not dry.
Remove the chicken from the pot, but continue to simmer the broth. Cool the chicken for about 10 minutes. Cut the chicken meat from the bone, and reserve for a chicken salad, soup, or other recipe. Return the bones to the pot and cook for 1 hour.
Strain into a non-reactive container, like another pot, a large bowl, or plastic quart or pint containers. Fill the sink with a mixture of ice and cold water so it comes about halfway up the sides of the container. Nestle the broth in the ice bath. (Stirring the broth speeds up the cooling process.) Cover and refrigerate or freeze the broth for future use. Broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the broth is unused after 5 days bring it to a boil before using.

I've used it for a week and I can feel the energy as odd as that sounds but usually I would drink two 8 oz cups of coffee by 2pm and I haven't had a caffeine urge. I have mthfr so the combinations of vitamins works for me. I had given it 5 stars and changed it to 1. Update: After a year of having a bottle half full... I can say I didnt get through the bottle. I felt good mid day but by the evening hours I had such a bad headache concentrated right above my eyes. I tried once again after I stopped taking them and the same concentrated eye headache came back along the burpy feeling. I switched to another multivitamin that didnt have me squinting my eyes and they have the same amount of methylfolate and same vitamins but different doses of them.

So just bend over and keep taking it up the ass, right? First of all, the government is not going to use nuclear weapons in their own country because it would totally screw up everything including their environment and totally wreck the common folks, aka work force. If they did use nuclear who would be left to rebuild the country? You know their not gonna do it. The way they would do it is not make living very uncomfortable like shutting down the power grid in certain areas or interruption of needed services until we comply with what they want. Remember they need us more than we need them. After all, who are they gonna get to do the work that needs to be done and tax money from if not us? Folks you must be willing to sacrifice. Apparently you don't feel your rights are important enough to do that. Ok, just keep living in your little fantasy land and be in denial and keep telling yourself it's ok. As long as the government keeps throwing you a few bones you're satisfied. Don't want to give up that Starbucks, Internet, cell phone and nice ice cold a/c do ya?

Succession is not the answer. There is only one way to stand up to the corporate run oligarchy in DC. That's with our wallets. Boycott every
enterprise that supports something that you don't agree with.
I haven't flown since 2009, because I refuse to put up with the TSA brown shirts who molest airline passengers in the name of "National Security".
At about $600 for four years, it only amounts to about a $2,400 loss for
the airline industry. Just imagine if at least half of frequent flyers
did the same thing. Enough lost revenue would be enough to get the overbearing pigs to rethink their Gestapo-like actions.
Don't like the left leaning message from Disney World?. Take your kids
elsewhere. Don't like how some of the actors from the Peoples Republic
of Hollywood like to tell us how to live, don't watch their movies.
In one weeks time, Staloney Baloney comes out with a movie titled
"Bullet To The Head" and jumps on the anti-gun bandwagon at the same
time. Screw the cockeyed hypocrite. None of my money will be spent on
his worthless movies.
Get the idea folks?. We can starve the parasites into having a whole new
attitude. They are NOT our masters.

It might work if everybody would do it, but like I've stated the majoritydoesn't wont to sacrifice one thing even if it could make a difference, they would rather be lead like sheep to the slaughter. A lot of the blame can be laid on the feet of our government run schools and universities who have taught generations now that The founding fathers were thiefs and criminals. I'm sure it's true that some were questionable character, but they were only human and it evidently Gods plan to put these men together to create a great country. Our kids today are taught to question whether or not the Constitution is applicable in today's world. That all white men are evil and Christianity is bad and Islam is good. To sing praises to Obama like people did for Hitler. That guns are bad and the people that own them are to bad too. That everything is acceptable including gay relationships and gay marriage. To tolerate and accept everything that is told to them by their government. Everyone wants everyone else to do the fighting and dying for them but boy are they willing to fill their bowl and get fat off the gravy that brave men leave behind for them.

#13170 Feb 24, 2013
You're right. The majority of people have no backbone and will let themselves be cowed into submission by an overbearing government that has the assistance of a boot-licking main stream media.
U.S. bankers put the European economy on the skids with their sub-prime lending schemes, but the media won't talk about that either. Obummer and
the rest of his cronies can do no wrong according to the corporate run
shills like CNN, MSNBC and CBS. Sickening.
Like I said, the only real power that we the sheeple have is in our wallets. By the time everyone wakes up and realizes it, it may just be too late. Kinda
makes me happy to be on the down hill side of life. Even twenty years from
now, this country will be a third world cesspool.

Here's how RW members rated this race (23 votes).
In full: I love the Skyline 10K. The course has been changed since the first one in November and I prefer it, its much more muddy and fun. There was a great atmosphere and everyone is made welcome and also recognized for their own running abilities. Relish the run have done a fantastic job with the Skyline 10k and Dyrham Park 10k. The goodie bags are fab too, and Jelly beans and fresh orange slices are always available at the end of the race too. As this is a series of four races you get the chance to workout the course and improve on your last run. I highly recommend that you give the Skyline 10K ago. :)Date of review: December 20, 2011
In short: A really fun run for serious runners. Mud and lots of it.. Great atmosphere, great people, great countryside.In full: http://busyoutrunning.blogspot.com/2011/12/mud-mud-and-more-mud.htmlDate of review: December 20, 2011
In short: A true crosscountry 10 km with plenty of mudIn full: True off road course with lots of mud. Nice day out and looking forward to the next race in the series by which time will definitely have off road shoes which are a must!Date of review: December 18, 2011

United Nations Programme
environment for development
Republic of Korea to Host
Asia's first Global Ministerial Environment Forum
Water and Sanitation to Top Agenda; Dead Zones in Oceans
Highlighted as Major Emerging Threat
Nairobi, 18 March 2004 – Delivering safe and sufficient water
to over one billion people and providing better sanitation services
for nearly two and half billion people will take centre stage at
international environment talks taking place at the end of the month.
Dust storms and the growing number of 'dead zones'
in the world's seas and oceans will also be among the issues
facing delegates attending the Global Ministerial Environment Forum
(GMEF) and the Special Session of the Governing Council of the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The meeting, to take place on the island of Jeju in the Republic
of Korea, will also focus on human settlements, including air pollution
in so-called mega cities.
Environmental threats to small island developing states and opportunities
for delivering sustainable development to these fragile and vulnerable
nations will be on the three-day agenda.
Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director, said it was right
and appropriate that Asia was hosting its first GMEF. With Asia's
economic growth now a major factor in the global economy, it is
important that resources and responsibility also shift to address
the environmental legacy that is being created, he added.
"The historical pattern of development in the economies of
Europe, North America and Japan was to industrialize first and clean
up later. Such outdated thinking is not possible in a world of six
billion people and counting. We need to marry strong economic growth
with conservation of the air, land and water supplies upon which
we all depend. In other words, we need environment for development.
For without a healthy and stable environment, long term economic
growth will falter and our goals of eradicating poverty will fail,"
said Mr Toepfer.
"Water and sanitation are among the key issues on our agenda
in Jeju, taking forward the Millennium Development Goals and World
Summit on Sustainable Development's Plan of Implementation.
Ministers will discuss concrete examples of where countries and
communities are rising to the challenge of reducing by half those
without access to these vital services, with a view to replicating
them across the globe," he added.
"Human settlements, with all their complex relationships
to people and the natural world, are also high on our agenda. So
I am delighted that we will be joined by Mrs Anna Tibaijuka, Executive
Director of UN-HABITAT, which, like UNEP, is headquartered in Nairobi,
Kenya," said Mr Toepfer.
Kwak Kyul-Ho, the Republic of Korea's Environment Minister,
said: "This meeting represents the growing understanding,
cooperation and partnerships being developed in this region as a
result of unprecedented economic dynamism and the associated environmental
Writing in a special edition of Our Planet, UNEP's flagship
magazine, he added: " High population density and an explosive
increase in consumption-coupled with rising demand for water-related
recreation-have posed many new challenges, making water management
a top priority on the Republic of Korea's environmental agenda."
Other contributors to the magazine, which will be issued to delegates
at the Jeju meeting, include Borge Brende, the Norwegian Environment
Minister; Ronnie Kasrils, the South African Minister of Water Affairs
and Forestry and Gurisankar Ghosh, Executive Director of the Water
Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council.
An opening press conference will be held on Jeju on 29 March to
launch the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) Year Book 2003, prepared
by UNEP to analyze the key issues and developments over the past
It will also highlight emerging threats, including the rise of
oxygen-starved areas in the world's oceans and seas. These
so-called 'dead zones' could be a greater threat to
fish stocks than over-fishing.
The Year Book will highlight the large number of insurance claims
against weather-related disasters, and important debates about the
control of genetically-modified organisms under the Cartagena Protocol.
Significant progress in the phase-out of leaded vehicle fuel in
Africa and new regional agreements to control haze pollution in
South East Asia and protect the marine environment in the Caspian
Sea will also be underlined.
A special section of the Year Book focusing on the role of water
in development shows that without concerted action a third of the
world's population is likely to suffer from chronic water
shortages in a few decades.
Among several other events being held during the GMEF, which will
be attended by close to 100 ministers and delegations from over
120 countries, will be one on the dust and sand storms that are
a significant health, economic and environmental threat in the region
and beyond.
The storms are caused by land degradation and desertification in
Mongolia and northern China. Scientists have recently linked similar
storms, originating in the Sahara, with damage to coral reefs in
the Caribbean.
Hosted by the Government of the Republic of Korea the eighth Special
Session of the council will be held at the International Conference
Centre, Jeju between March 29-31.
The GMEF will be preceded by the fifth Global Civil Society Forum,
at which 200 representatives from the non-governmental sector will
examine the same agenda issues and inform the ministerial meeting
of their views.
Notes to Editors:
The Context of the Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment
Forum (GC/GMEF)
The United Nations Millennium Declaration adopted by the Heads of
State and Governments in 2000 undertook "to halve, by 2015
the proportion of people who are unable to reach, or to afford safe
drinking water." A new target on halving the proportion of
people who do not have access to basic sanitation by 2015 was set
at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002. These
are major challenges requiring national, regional, global and United
Nations system-wide actions.
The meeting in Jejuis taking place at a critical juncture in the
development of international environmental and sustainable development
policies. The objective of the ministerial discussions is to identify
workable approaches, based on actual experiences, for expediting
the goals of the Millennium Declaration and the WSSD commitments
related to the environmental aspects of water, sanitation and human
settlements, and the centrality of ecosystem approaches in water
These deliberations will inform the 12th meeting of the UN Commission
on Sustainable Development (CSD) to be held in New York in April
2004. This meeting will review progress towards the commitments
related to the water, sanitation and human settlements cluster of
issues made at previous international meetings.
The CSD is also the forum for final preparations for a 10-year
review of the Barbados Plan of Action for the Sustainable Development
of Small Island Developing States (BPoA+10). This international
meeting will be held in Mauritius in August-September 2004 to discuss
specific actions and measures at the national, regional, and international
levels to support the sustainable development of the Small Island
Developing States (SIDS).
UNEP's GC/GMEF meets annually with its venue alternating
between UNEP's headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, and another
host country.
Some of its responsibilities include "To promote international
cooperation in the field of the environment and to recommend, as
appropriate, policies to this end" and "To keep under
review the world environmental situation in order to ensure that
emerging environmental problems of wide international significance
receive appropriate and adequate consideration by Governments."
The Water, Sanitation, People edition of Our Planet will be available
on-line at http://www.ourplanet.com after 21 March 2004

LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Dustin McDaniel filed a consumer-protection lawsuit today against entities accused of colluding to offer illegal payday loans to Arkansans while claiming to be affiliated with a Native American tribe in order to avoid legal action.
McDaniel's lawsuit against Western Sky Financial, CashCall, Inc., WS Funding, Martin A. Webb and J. Paul Reddam alleges that the defendants offer online payday loans with interest rates as high as 342 percent, in violation of Arkansas law. Western Sky, based in South Dakota, identifies itself as a tribal entity protected by tribal sovereign immunity.
McDaniel said Western Sky is not protected by tribal immunity because it is not owned or operated by a tribe. Consumers based in Arkansas, not on tribal lands, use the Internet to apply for loans and sign loan documents.
CashCall and its subsidiary, WS Funding, are based in California and owned by Reddam. Martin Webb, also known as Butch Webb, owns Western Sky.
"Though we have successfully eliminated storefront payday lending in Arkansas, some online lenders continue to offer the kinds of loans that often push consumers further into debt," McDaniel said. "The defendants claim to be protected by tribal immunity, but we intend to prove they are not and we will ask the Court to prevent them from making these harmful loans in our State."
According to McDaniel's complaint, WS Funding has an agreement with Western Sky in which Western Sky nominally originates the illegal payday loans, then assigns the loans to WS Funding. WS Funding collects on the loans. It controls Western Sky's website. The lawsuit states that CashCall and its subsidiaries run virtually every aspect of Western Sky's operations.
Arkansas consumers have been offered loans in amounts ranging from $850 to $10,000, with corresponding annual percentage rates of between 89 percent and 342 percent.
McDaniel asked the Court to prohibit the defendants from offering illegal loans in Arkansas and order the defendants to pay restitution, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and costs.
The complaint was filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court.

Reminder: The Bauder Contemporary American Authors Lecture will take place on Friday, April 15, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. This year's event features poet and literary scholar Harryette Mullen.
For more information:

This event continues to be free and open to the public.
Don't forget that in 1961, a group of 400 courageous black and white activists called the Freedom Riders challenged the Jim Crow laws of the day by riding buses and trains across the segregated south. Don't forget that they risked their lives, even though these were peaceful demonstrations. Don't forget that it was an important precursor to stabilizing black voting rights and the Civil Rights Movement. Don't forget.
The program includes a preview screening of Freedom Riders, the film by award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson which will debut on PBS stations across the country as part of the "American Experience" series beginning in May. The film is based on the original book by Raymond Arsenault.
"We are very proud to be involved," says Dr. Brenda Bryant, Dean of Community-Based Learning and co-founder of Marygrove's Social Justice Program. "This is the kind of information we need to bring to the forefront, to keep it alive." She adds that whenever history has presented unjust acts—outrageous incidents of discrimination, deprivation or exclusion—we, as a society must learn all we can to fully understand. "Remembering the Freedom Riders 50 years later brings the story back for new generations to learn, older generations to gain strength and for all to heal," Bryant said.

DETROIT, Mich., March 22, 2011— Marygrove's English and Modern Languages Department is pleased to announce that the award-winning poet and literary scholar, Harryette Mullen, will be the twenty-third guest in its Contemporary American Authors Lecture Series.
Her innovative poems challenge us to rethink our ideas about gender, race, language, politics, and popular culture by engaging in wordplay: puns, jokes, acrostics, and anagrams. Commenting on Mullen's incisive experimentation with language, Elisabeth A. Frost has written, "Crossing the lines between often isolated aesthetic camps, Harryette Mullen has pioneered her own form of bluesy, disjunctive lyric poetry, combining a concern for the political issues raised by identity politics with a poststructuralist emphasis on language."
