How do you get that awesome brown on the edge like that???
I don't recall where I found this photo, but I think if I recall right the doughs on top of the steel pans were Detroit style doughs. I found it interesting how the doughs were stretched on top of the steel pans. I had the photo on my computer for a little while and just came across it today.Norma
Norma,That picture is great! Don't those trays seem too shallow for DS pies? Maybe we can use that Dunkin Cup and the bottle of OxyContin on its side next to it as a clue!!! John K
John,I can't tell if it was from the angle that photo was shot from made the pans seem shallower or not. I enlarged the photo the best I could and couldn't see that was a Dunkin Cup and a bottle of OxyCotin though. How did you see that? I see the pill bottle and Styrofoam cup, but I sure can't read what is on them. I guess it is my eyes that need corrected. I have been trying to look on facebook to see where that photo came from. That photo was either on facebook or on Google images for Detroit style pizzas if I recall right.Norma
Norma,There are two reasons I knew what the two items were:1. I grew up in MA. Home of Dunkin Donuts. I've been seeing that logo (pink and orange) on Styrofoam cups since I was in kindergarten.2. I'm a pain management doctor. Being the realist that I am, I can't imagine that the bottle in the picture is anything other than some sort of controlled substance!!! I mean, what else is gonna be up there on the shelf at work, Viagra??? John K
I only keep Advil at my pizza stand in case my shoulders, or elbows get tired. Norma
Norma,I think I have "Advil Deficiency Syndrome"... If I don't have 6-8 per day I get very grouchy due to generalized aches and pains and I become much more of a curmudgeon than usual! JohnEDIT: When I said 6-8 I mean Advil, not Oxycontin.
Norma,The strudel DS looks really tasty! There's a cobbler style that's similar, but with cake on the bottom. Interesting experiment. Britt
Norma gave me two leftover dough balls on Tuesday and I just now baked them up. Plain cheese and pepperoni. Thanks Norma!
Not really sure. Baked on the center rack @ 500 for about 10 minutes, no stone. I put foil over the pans for the last few minutes to keep the cheese from over browning. Also, I don't remember for sure but this might have been WM mozz as opposed to white cheddar.
Thought this would be a firing place to post a picture of the pizza I had at Louie's over the weekend. The best detroit style in detroit bar none in my opinion.
After posting that I can not get browner crust edges since my pans are seasoned well now, yesterday I did have some rim crusts that did brown better. I don't know what is happening with that now. I had two dough balls that were already tempered in the heated holding cabinet that we not going to be used at the end of the day. Steve and I baked them to take home. I don't know how the big hole, or crater appeared in the Detroit style pizza. That never happened before.Norma
Pizza sinkhole!!!! jon

Welding Area
From i3Detroit
Safety First
Welding is a great way to join and form metal. Welding use comes at some risk. Let's be careful out there.
- Eye protection. You must protect your eyes from the bright welding light. If you are TIG, MIG or Arc welding you should be wearing a welding helmet. If you are using oxygen/acetylene welding then you should be wearing a pair of gas welding goggles.
- Consider the eye protection of others around you. Will they get flashed by your welding arc? Use the blue welding safety screens to protect others in the shop.
- Proper clothing. Shorts and T-shirt won't do. Arc welding gives off extremely bright light, and you will become badly sunburned in no time. Best is long sleeve cotton clothing and long cotton pants. Polyester clothing will melt easily and should never be worn by anyone welding.
- Proper footwear. Leather closed toe shoes should be worn. It doesn't take long for a small hot bead of metal to burn right through the top of your canvas tennis shoes. Also consider wearing boots instead of low cut shoes. Think what will happen if a drop of molten metal gets inside your shoe. Ouch.
- Wear welding gloves to protect your hands.
- Don't forget that it takes time for hot welded metal to cool. Use pliers to lift work off of the table. Don't leave hot work where an innocent bystander could become burned.
- Quick.. where is the nearest fire extinguisher?
Let's Learn to TIG Weld!

I3 is fortunate enough to have the use of a very nice P&H Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welder. Instructions for use follow:
- Turn on the Argon Gas bottle at the wall rack. Remember that the seal system for inert gas only completely seals the stem at full closed and full open. Turn the knob in the desired direction until it stops. When the TIG machine is turned on, you can adjust the argon flow (watch the red ball in the vertical glass tube).
- Check the power switch on the junction box on the wall. Is it turned on?
Quirks of the I3 P&H TIG machine.
- Sometimes the foot pedal sticks just enough to turn on the solenoid. This is very bad, particularly if you are using an old style welders shield. Its too easy to flash your eyes in error. Best action, is to ensure foot pedal is at top of stroke before you turn on the machine.
- Argon use. The machine flows argon gas whenever the machine is turned on. Argon gas is expensive. This means turn off the machine when you have finished your weld, and don't turn it on again until just before you are ready to run your next bead.
Machine settings: What are you welding?
- Steel? If you are using steel, set the Polarity Selector Switch (large three

you could do the old fashioned way of cooking one side then flipping it and then cooking the other, might work, but I'm pretty sure you'll just end up on the slippery slope of grill modification until you build a pizza oven or LBE.
We never use a stone on the grill as I heard the direct hear is bad for them and could crack it.Anyway, we do the flip it method as follows.Crank the grill up pretty darn high and let it warm up.Get your dough ready and leave it a bit thicker than normal if you generally make really thin pizza. Needs to be able to handle it well.Put some oil either on the grill grates or on the dough to prevent sticking and pop it on.Turn the grill down to low and let it cook for maybe 2 minutes.Take it off the grill and put it cooked side up.Turn the grill back up to high so it can warm back up.Dress with sauce and toppings.Oil the grill again if needed and then put the pizza back on the grill.Turn the heat down to med-low and let it cook for 3 minutes or so.If the dough starts to get charred, you can turn the burners off and leave the lid closed to cook/melt the cheese and toppings.

Alexander, Meena
Meena Alexander 1951–
Indian poet, novelist, critic, and autobiographer.
The following entry presents criticism of Alexander's career through 1998.
Alexander is an Indian writer whose poetry and fiction reflect her mulicultural life experiences among diverse ethnic and religious communities on four continents. Generally concerned with the roles of place, memory, and language in identity formation, Alexander's works examine the disparate elements of her heritage and her cultural displacement, concentrating particularly on her status as an educated woman of the South Asian diaspora living and writing in the West. Alexander's search for psychic wholeness through language—a prevalent theme of her poetry—also articulates the concerns facing many postcolonial writers silenced by the dominant literary traditions of the imperial past. Critical discussion of her writings often centers on her contributions to Anglophone postcolonial literature, but scholars also have responded to her feminist perspective on literary and cultural issues. Alexander has remarked: "While I do not think I consciously write as a woman, I have little doubt that some of my deepest emotions and insights spring from having been born into a female body, learning to grow up as a woman in both a traditional Indian culture—South Indian, Syrian Christian, Malayalam speaking—and as part of the complex, shifting South Asian diaspora."
Biographical Information
The daughter of a diplomat, Alexander was born into a socially prominent, Syrian Christian family in Allahabad, India, but was raised in the Sudan, where she attended high school and graduated from the University of Khartoum with a bachelor of arts degree in 1969. She pursued graduate studies at the University of Nottingham in England, writing her dissertation on Romantic English literature which later evolved into The Poetic Self (1979). After earning a doctorate degree in 1973, Alexander returned to India and taught at several universities until 1979, when she accepted a visiting fellowship at the Sorbonne in Paris. During her return to India, she also published her first collections of poetry: The Bird's Bright Ring (1976), I Root My Name (1977), and Without Place (1978). Late in 1979 Alexander emigrated to the United States and settled in the New York City area, assuming an associate professorship at Fordham University. While acclimating to American life, Alexander immersed herself in writing. By the late 1980s she not only had contributed numerous scholarly articles to literary journals and feminist anthologies, but she also published the poetry collections House of a Thousand Doors (1988), The Storm (1989), and Night-Scene, the Garden (1989) as well as the critical study Women in Romanticism (1989). A lecturer in the writing program at Columbia University since 1990 and a professor of women's studies at City University of New York since 1992, Alexander produced more prose than poetry during the 1990s, writing two novels, Nampally Road (1991) and Manhattan Music (1997); an autobiography, Fault Lines (1993); another volume of criticism, The Shock of Arrival (1996); and a single poetry book, River and Bridge (1995).
Major Works
Marked by processes of mediation between and meditation on different literary and cultural traditions, Alexander's imagistic and somewhat romantic poetry attempts to create a sense of identity for the poet and represents a type of psychoanalysis through which different aspects of her personality approach some sort of order. Alexander's early poetry depends on, as often as it reveals, the interstices of memory, history, and ontology; for example, The Bird's Bright Ring juxtaposes images of blood, salt, and native flora and fauna with fragmented commentary on the sociopolitical effects of British rule in India. Although Alexander's verse generally favors Indian themes and imagery, feminist issues comprise the majority of her work, including her scholarly studies, and female narrators and characters dominate both her poetry and fiction. I Root My Name, for instance, intimates the painful experiences of women, while "A Mirror's Grace," a poem appearing in Without Place, recounts Cleopatra's struggle to resist slipping into the margins of patriarchal linguistics. House of a Thousand Doors centers on memories and dreams of Alexander's grandmother, whom the poet has described as "a power permitting me to speak in an alien landscape." The Storm contemplates the feminist ideal of recreating and rewriting a "pure" female self-identity from fragmentary matrilineal memories. In Night-Scene, the Garden, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters figure prominently in the narrator's memory, which symbolizes a kind of "mother tongue" that encourages the poet to create a "new" self. The poetry of River and Bridge explores similar personal and feminist themes, focusing primarily on coping with cultural displacement, but other poems address myriad forms of violence and protest bondage of all sorts, ranging from racial and sexual to economic and religious. Like her poetry, Alexander's fiction carries autobiographical overtones. Centered on literature's relation to life and women's role as healer of communal ills, Nampally Road relates the story of a woman writer who returns to her native India following her college education abroad. She plans to create literary order out of India's tumultuous past by writing a book about it, but instead she becomes involved in the resurgent political violence that surrounds her and reluctantly learns that she can do little to stop the suffering. Set in contemporary New York, Manhattan Music traces a female immigrant's gradual recovery of her self-identity through a series of interracial, multicultural relationships and intellectual associations.
Critical Reception
Critics often have recognized Alexander's poetry for articulating some of the linguistic dilemmas confronting native writers of formerly British-administered colonies, noting that her imagery and formal structures, though reminiscent of European Romanticism and Modernism, are inflected by complex Indian rhythms, dense syntax, and South-Asian mythology. Consequently, Alexander has engaged the attention of postcolonial literary scholars. Ben Downing has characterized her poetic work thus: "Attracted to both the 'hierarchical unity' of Indian tradition and a modern, Western poetics of rupture, Alexander is faced with the difficult necessity of mediating between them." Alexander's fiction also has received a similar critical response, evinced by John Oliver Perry, who has called Nampally Road a "major contribution to South Asian-American literature far exceeding, say, Bharati Mukherjee's novels in cultural richness, psychological complexity, and sociopolitical—not to mention feminist—sophistication." Shilpa Davé, likewise comparing the significance of Alexander's fiction to that of Mukherjee's, concluded that Nampally Road represents more than "a narrative of minority victimage, and instead offers a reasonable strategy to incorporate the identity with the past by questioning the relationship between history and our cultural inheritance." Critics also have read Alexander's impulse to question her identity for signs of emergent feminism, responding particularly to her experiences as a woman in both an occidental and oriental context. "Alexander treats her writing as a search for a homeland, which is less physical than psychological, in particular her poetry, as a means of making sense of her multiple cultural, geographical and psychological positionalities," according to Helen Grice, adding that "it is [Alexander's] very ethnicity, gender, and exilic status that make her the person she is, and that it is partly the fault lines that exist between these identities that define her."

SOURCE: "Exiled by a Woman's Body: Substantial Phenomena in Meena Alexander's Poetry," in Journal of South Asian Literature, Vol. 21, No. 1, Winter-Spring, 1986, pp. 125-32.
[In the following essay, Perry examines various manifestations of "exile" in Alexander's poetry, especially in relation to gender, language, and politics.]
[If the exile's] body cannot appropriate its given landscape,… the substantial body dwindles into phantasm…. Language … degenerates into a dead script when the bodily power of a people no longer instills it with particularity, no longer appropriates it in the expression of a emergent selfhood…. In the battle between...

[In the following review, Perry sketches the thematic concerns and associated characters of House of a Thousand Doors.]
In a 1986 essay on Meena Alexander for the Journal of South Asian Literature, "Exiled by a Woman's Body," I praised the then-forthcoming volume House of a Thousand Doors and characterized the author as a substantially developed South Asian immigrant writer. Unhappily in the interim, despite publication of many of the collection's poems and brief poetic prose pieces in over a dozen different, often internationally known...

Ben Downing (review date April 1990)
SOURCE: A review of The Storm, in Village Voice Literary Supplement, No. 84, April, 1990, p. 9.
[In the following review, Downing outlines the structure of The Storm, centering on the thematic significance of ritual.]
In her introduction, Meena Alexander compares The Storm to "the stiff palmyra fans grandmother had hung to the wall" during Alexander's early childhood in Kerala, South India. The autobiographical poem, by invoking "the poise of a ritualised order," serves as an artifact that rescues the ancestral memory of its creator from oblivion. Elaborating the analogy, Alexander cautions that such recoveries can only be momentary, incomplete:...

[In the following review, Perry considers the narrative implications of the feminist sociopolitical perspective of Nampally Road.]
Based, naturally, on her own experience, Nampally Road, the first novel by Meena Alexander, India's foremost woman poet in English, for the past decade living in America, was begun in 1979, while she still lived and taught in Hyderabad. Her heroine Mira, who, like Meena, had just spent four years earning a Ph.D. dealing with Wordsworth at Nottingham University, now finds herself trying to understand her relationship as a...

SOURCE: "Teaching the Sylvan Swami," in Belles Lettres, Vol. 7, No. 1, Fall, 1991, p. 46.
[In the following review, Mehta praises the ironic tone and confident narration of Nampally Road.]
When the priest, the butcher, the psychiatrist, and the candlestick maker can't explain and organize the world teeming around us, there's always the poet. Or so Mira Kannadical thinks. After four years of graduate school in England, Mira has found her guru: Wordsworth. She'll return to India, teach a course on her sylvan swami at a local college in Hyderabad and write poetry that will "stitch it all together: my birth in India a few years after national independence, my colonial...

Nicola Trott (review date November 1992)
SOURCE: A review of Women in Romanticism, in Review of English Studies, Vol. 43, No. 172, November, 1992, pp. 569-71.
[In the following excerpt, Trott examines the methodology and themes of Women in Romanticism, noting the defects and strengths of Alexander's views.]
Meena Alexander takes Wollstonecraft to be a woman in Romanticism, rather than a precursor. Her book [Women in Romanticism] is most keenly aware, though, of the ways in which the term needs to be redefined if women writers are to have a place of their own within the Romantic estate. The three women in question—Wollstonecraft, Wordsworth, and Shelley, two tragically...

[In the following review, King situates the themes, structure, and voice of Night-Scene, the Garden in the context of Alexander's other poetry collections.]
A Syrian Christian Indian, Meena Alexander attended university in the Sudan, wrote her first poetry in French, wrote a British doctoral dissertation on German phenomenology, then returned to India, where she published three books of poetry before marrying an American. She now teaches English literature in New York. Someone for whom poetry is more a process—usually consisting of intensely...

Maria Couto (review date 7 April 1993)
SOURCE: "Voices of Empire," in Times Literary Supplement, No. 4697, April 7, 1993, p. 22.
[In the following review, Couto traces the influence and thematic significance of colonialism in Fault Lines.]
Both these books—one a memoir [Fault Lines by Meena Alexander], the other a vivid and enthralling playback of voices [Unbecoming Daughters of the Empire by Shirley Chew and Anna Rutherford, eds.]—unfold private lives stamped by Empire and shaped by emerging forces of independence and nationalism. Meena Alexander, an Indian poet, novelist and academic now based in New York, makes clear that the geographical and cultural disruptions in her life compel her...

SOURCE: A review of Fault Lines, in Belles Lettres, Vol. 8, No. 4, Summer, 1993, p. 43.
[In the following review, Dunlap notes the stylistic features of Fault Lines.]
Like Daly and Behar, poet Meena Alexander employs images of weaving and crossing borders in Fault Lines. A dizzying multiplicity of threads and borders distinguishes this memoir by an Indian woman who has lived many places and speaks many languages. There is a litany of cities within India: Khartoum, where she entered university at age 13; Nottingham, where she began her doctorate at 18; and that city where she currently lives, "where the whole world swarms," New York. And the languages:...

[In the following essay, Davé compares the narrative strategies of Bharati Mukherjee's Middleman and Other Stories and Alexander's Nampally Road, concentrating on their different approaches to and uses of Western stereotyped definitions of cultural identity.]
The very practice of remembering and rewriting leads to the formation of politicized consciousness and self-identity. Writing often becomes the context through which new political identities are forged. It becomes a...

Susheela N. Rao (review date Autumn 1994)
SOURCE: A review of Fault Lines, in World Literature Today, Vol. 68, No. 4, Autumn, 1994, p. 883.
[In the following review, Rao emphasizes the variety of cultural experiences related in Fault Lines.]
Traditionally, Indian writers have fought shy of talking about themselves, and of the great classical writers of India like Kalidasa we know very little. Under the increasing impact of the West, however, more and more Indian writers, mostly Indo-Anglian writers, have been recording their life histories. Autobiographies and memoirs of Indian writers who write in English have now become a familiar and accepted fact of twentieth-century India, and the age at which they...

Helena Grice (review date 1996)
SOURCE: A review of Fault Lines, in Amerasia Journal, Vol. 22, No. 2, 1996, pp. 164-66.
[In the following review, Grice offers a thematic and stylistic overview of Fault Lines in terms of an evolving, multi-ethnic, autobiographical tradition among women of the diaspora.]
Meena Alexander's Fault Lines locates itself in that in-between generic territory already occupied by another Asian American woman, Maxine Hong Kingston. Both subtitled "memoirs," The Woman Warrior and Fault Lines, are situated in the literal no-man's land of women's autobiographical writings of the diaspora experience. The similarities extend beyond the subtitle....

SOURCE: "Three Indian American Writers Examine Cultural Conflict and Identity," in Chicago Tribune Books, May 25, 1997, pp. 1, 9.
[In the following excerpt, Bob highlights postcolonial identity issues explored in Manhattan Music.]
The issues of identity and cultural displacement are the core of Meena Alexander's novel Manhattan Music. She has assembled a large, urbane and angst-ridden international cast of artists, poets, business figures and academics, all partly shaped by terror and violence. The central figure, Sandhya Rosenblum, has come to America as the wife of a Jewish man and lost herself in the process. She drifts into an affair with an Egyptian...

[In the following review, Perry considers the principal themes, motifs, and style of River and Bridge.]
To indicate how difficult book publication is even for important Indian English poets, it may be noted that River and Bridge was substantially ready in 1988 or at least 1990, the manuscript then opening with an India-referring title poem used later for the fine closing note: "Deer Park at Sarnath," which thoughtfully, not at all sadly, ends, "There is no grief like this, / the origin of landscape is memory." Then in 1995 Rupa in New Delhi published...

[In the following review, Rao admires the narrative technique of Manhattan Music.]
What purports to be the lives and living thoughts and feelings, and problems and promises of a more recent immigrant group—namely, Indians from India living in the New York/New Jersey area—is orchestrated in the novel Manhattan Music by a successful Indian immigrant, who, herself having been exposed to a number of places and countries outside her own home in Kerala in the southern part of India, shows a sensitive awareness of the state of the immigrants. In this...

Gown: Hibiscus
Date of wedding: April 08, 2011
Photographer: Hunter Valley Wedding Photographer
Hot tip: It's never too early to start looking for your wedding dress. Try on a variety of styles, even gowns you think you would never want to wear. I ended up going with something completely different to what I had always imagined I would wear.
What they loved: Henry Roth helped me choose my dress. My friends and I loved meeting Henry; he made the whole experience of buying a wedding gown even more exciting and special. It was great to get to talk to the person who designed the dress; he is so passionate about what he does.

The images and stories are compelling. Students from the Suva Christian Community High School have joined their counterparts in the Arctic and other island states in photographing and writing about the changes they are seeing in their regions due to rapid climate change.
The students visited several locations in Fiji and met people, who were being affected by rising sea levels, coastal erosion and other problems attributed to climate change. They took photos and wrote stories about what they learned as part of the Portraits of Resilience photo project.
Portraits involves students from communities in the Small Island Developing States and the Arctic and is part the Many Strong Voices (MSV) programme. MSV links people in the Arctic and Small Island Developing States, who are feeling the immediate effects of climate change.
The Arctic and SIDS have been identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as regions most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
At first glance, these two regions may appear to have little in common. Yet Arctic and SIDS societies share characteristics of vulnerability and resilience and their environments are sensitive to climate change impacts.
Although natural and human environments in the two regions differ markedly, the effects of climate change threaten the ecology, economies and the social and cultural fabric of both regions posing serious challenges for their sustainable development. While communities in both regions have adapted to changing conditions in the past, climate change presents a new and formidable challenge.
Many Strong Voices was launched in 2005 and since that time has brought together a unique network of people and organisations to work together on common issues. Portraits was first exhibited at the Danish National Museum during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change talks in Copenhagen in 2009.
Since that time, it has been seen in museums in Norway, at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, and is now running at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Portraits will also be shown at this year's climate change negotiations in Cancun, Mexico, scheduled to start next week.
Portrait is led by Canadian photographer Christine Germano, who recently spent several weeks working with students and staff at the Suva Community Christian High School.
Ms Germano, who has received a number of awards for her work in Canada, was also in Tuvalu working with students there. The project is designed to integrate into the local high school curriculum. The students write short stories about the effects of climate change on their community. After that, they are taught how to take photos and they go out and illustrate their writings.
Besides Fiji and Tuvalu, Portraits has worked in the Indian Ocean island nation of Seychelles, Alaska, Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic, Greenland and at the northern tip of Norway.
Portraits of Resilience and the Many Strong Voices programme are coordinated by GRID-Arendal and CICERO. Portraits has been funded by the Government of Norway and the Nordic Council of Ministers.

About the press release
The Fiji Government Ministry of Information released this media release on Monday 29th November. The Ministry is the Government's major information agency providing the link between the Government, the media and the public.

The Power of Darkness: Making A Worldwide Statement on Climate Change
It has been called "the world's largest mass participation event ever."
On March 27, monuments all over the world – from the Eiffel Tower to Rio's Corcovado, from the pyramids at Giza to the British houses of Parliament – will go dark. Skylines from Shanghai to Moscow to the Las Vegas strip will flicker out at 8:30 p.m. local time. And millions of people will gather by candlelight. It's all part of Earth Hour, a campaign by WWF, now in its forth year, to show action on climate change "is not about what country you're from. It's about what your planet you're from."
Last year, a billion people and 4,000 cities worldwide participated in the campaign
"Earth Hour is a way for the citizens of the world to send a clear message: they want action on climate change," said U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

When decorating and prepping for the holiday season, pet owners will need to be extra cautious to ensure their dogs and cats stay safe during the winter months. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, the holidays tend to bring family and friends together to celebrate, share gifts, food and more, but owners need to keep common hazards out of their pet's reach in order to have the experience go smoothly.
One of the biggest holiday hazards to dogs is wrapping paper, particularly bows and ribbons. While bows and ribbons adorning a pet's collar may look adorable, they are significant choking and strangling hazards and this practice should be avoided. In addition, VCA reports that chewing on these products may seem harmless, but dogs - especially puppies - can accidentally swallow them possibly resulting in an intestinal obstruction which could necessitate emergency surgery.
Another hazard is chocolates. Boxes of chocolates are a common gift and although tasty for humans, chocolate can be deadly to dogs. Chocolate can be fatal if a dog ingests a large amount of it, and it can cause side effects after eating just a little, so it's best to keep it high up and out of reach. Many holiday foods are very fatty or rich and best avoided in our canine companions for their best pet health.
One of the most popular holiday plants, the poinsettia, is also hazardous to dogs. VCA reports that the plant may cause serious irritation in a dog's mouth and stomach, though it's not fatal. Curious dogs may also snoop around the tree and often try to drink the tree water which may contain chemicals. An owner may need to consider a gate around the tree or some other obstacle to prevent their dog from getting too close.
Electrical cords from festive lights can also be dangerous, and owners are cautioned to keep them out of reach of their pets to avoid mishaps. All decorations, including the holiday tree, should be as "dog-proof" as possible. For example, edible decorations such as popcorn or cranberry strings should be avoided, glass ornaments which may cause lacerations if eaten should be kept high or avoided altogether and the tree should be properly secured to a wall or sturdy structure to avoid tipping caused by a rambunctious canine.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 62 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by WhineO29 Spaced foam rollers made the difference. I compared this roller to one with plastic rollers with no space between them. This roller gives a deeper, more precise massage. The stick itself is very rigid and has no give. In addition to this massager, I purposefully bought one that is less rigid that will kind of contour to my calves, quads and neck for a much less intense massage. May 21, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Martel Not pictured product After seeing this image, the product I purchased was not what was pictured. The packaging wouldn't close, which explains it now. April 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Adavis44 This product is very easy to use. This product is a life saver in that my daughter plays soccer, sometimes two and three times a week and practices everyday. Her muscles get very tight, even after stretching. After using this product, her muscles loosen up and she is able to continue playing during games ! March 23, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by SanDiegoMom Perfect Pressure Muscle Roller Love this roller. The end handles are great to pressure point spot areas. The foam segments are not too intense. Love the stiffness of the center bar (no flex) which is nice to control pressure. And it works to roll your own lower back :) This roller can roll out our high school cross country runner who runs 35 miles a week to a pinched nerve in my husbands back . Overall Length is nice to be able to roll out both calf muscles at once. September 22, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by Kindred Best on the market......do it yourself pain relief I compared several models and found the ball bearing underpinnings of this device to provide the most beneficial trigger point attention. I can use this on my own back without being a contortionist. If you have a willing partner great too. I am delighted with this purchase. August 5, 2015

I like Yunnan blacks a lot and stimulated by Stentor's post, I browsed TeaChat and the books I own, wrote a brief summary and started a new topic. I hope this will help us a bit.
Tea makers harvest the leaves when the tips are as large as possible but before they have begun to form whole leaves. The tips ( sweet, as they are in white teas) contain extra sugars to help the bud grow into a full leaf.
Following that, Chinese black teas are more enticing with the incorporation of extra buds. With more tips, the teas are sweeter but also lighter, with less body.
I found in several same sources the best Yunnanese teas consist solely of buds or are comprised of large , brown- black leaves and only an appropriate quantity of juicy buds.
100 % golden tip tea is called Dianhong (Golden Buds), but the same pluck may be slightly or tightly spiraled and is called Golden Snail or Curly Golden Buds. Yunnan Buds are an early-plucked teas.
King of Yunnan Golden Needle is the finest leaf with the largest amount of long tip, another Chinese black - Golden Monkey – is a slightly larger leaf with less tip, but the most concentrated flavor.
The most well-known plucking standards are mao feng (bud and two leaves) and mao jian (bud and one leaf). Other standards require a bud and three or four leaves.
Recently I tried:
1) Golden Needle from Le Palais des Thes
http://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/china-j ... -d-or.html
2) Golden Needle SFTGFOP1 from Mariage Freres
http://www.mariagefreres.com/boutique/U ... T2023.html
Golden Buds from Le Palais des Thes
http://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/china-j ... flush.html
3) Yunnan Black Special SGFOP1 from my local vendor Five o'clock
http://www.fiveoclock.eu/pl/produkt/41, ... GFOP1.html
I would rank the three above (1,2) subjectively by my taste as I can't really differentiate the quality difference between them neither by taste nor by the appearance of the teas. I realize they may be a bit overpriced, I saw several very similar looking buds/leaves on ebay, but was a bit suspicious (I found almost nothing about the vendors there ) , thanks to browsing TeaChat I found interesting Yunnan Sourcing l ink and others which I probably try next time.
I will add photos later when drinking. I enjoy the Black Special (3) only if I overbrew it much – then to be honest I can't see much difference and for me it's also tasty in a different way.
How to differentiate between various qualities of Yunnan blacks?
Is the Golden Needle and the Golden Buds really the same tea?
Could you please give any interesting links on the topic?
Which vendors do you recommend at the moment?

Team USA brings home three medals from IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships
The 2013 International Paralympic Committee Alpine Skiing World Championships concluded Team USA is on their way home with three medals. Throughout super G, downhill, super combined, slalom and giant slalom events, the U.S. alpine skiers sped down the hills of La Molina, Spain, showcasing what all their training had been for.
The world championships opened in La Molina on Feb. 18. The first medals were awarded on Feb. 20 including a gold medal for Team USA in the downhill sitting category to Laurie Stephens (Wenham, Mass.).
The men's downhill also saw a silver medal be given to U.S. sit skier Stephen Lawler (Burlington, Vt.) for his 1:38.52 run, just a fraction off the gold medal time. Chris Devlin-Young (Campton, N.H.) was not far behind, coming in fifth with a time of 1:33.99. Ralph Green (Vail, Colo.) placed eighth for the men's standing class.
Stephens made another podium appearance in the super G sitting event where she wore the bronze medal for a 1:23.33 run. For men's super G, Mark Bathum (Seattle, WA) placed seventh for the visually impaired class with his guide Sean Ramsden.
Over the course of the following six days, the worlds had final runs one and two for Feb. 24, 25, 26 and the non-medal team finals on Feb. 27. Sunday's finishes included Stephani Victor (Park City, Utah) and Heath Calhoun (Clarksville, Tenn.) both in fifth place for the slalom sitting event.
Monday's super combined event resulted in two fourth place finishes for Team USA with Danelle Umstead (Park City, Utah), guided by her husband Rob, for visually impaired and Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.) for the standing class. Sitting super combined landed Stephens in fifth place with Victor and Alana Nichols right behind in sixth and seventh. Calhoun brought men's sit skiing to sixth place.
The giant slalom events on Tuesday put Nichols (2:43.72) and Victor (2:55.25) in fifth and sixth for the women's sitting class and Umstead in fifth for women's visually impaired.
The last day of competition ended with Nichols, who missed earlier events after sustaining a minor injury in training, earning first place for women's sitting event of the team competition, a non-medal event. Team USA finished second overall in the team event.
The U.S. Alpine Skiing National Team will take a week's rest and next travel to Sochi, Russia for the 2013 IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup Final, March 7-12. The event serves as a test event for the Paralympic Winter Games, which Sochi will host March 7-16, 2014.

Preliminary sketches
Every scientific illustration begins with a rough sketch - usually several sketches. Many details must be discussed between the artist and scientist before a final drawing can be done, and several additional preliminary drawings must be prepared in order to work out aesthetic details, such as shading and other aspects. The Kellogg Illustration Collection provides many examples of this process. (See Pantograph section for more details about how Prentice prepared his preliminary drawings.)
The pen and ink thick/thin line technique
Pen and ink line illustrations are clean, crisp, clear, and inexpensive to reproduce, making them ideal for scientific illustrations. Sydney Prentice was a master of the pen and ink thick/thin (eyelash) technique. This is a very difficult but beautiful technique, and is especially well-suited for drawing vertebrate specimens because of the grain inherent in bone.
To execute the thick/thin line technique, an artist must use a dip pen with a flexible nib loaded with ink. Then, a single line is made which can vary from thick to thin depending on the amount of pressure placed on the pen while drawing the line. With this technique, it is possible to create a complex system of lines to denote form, structure, texture, light and shade using a very high contrast black/white medium. No gray is present; only the impression of gray created by line.
Ink drawings are made on a heavy drawing paper, such as Bristol Board.
Now, an artist could do the same technique with a computer and proper software, drawing tablet, or monitor.
Pen and ink technique (left); reducing lens used to check drawing prior to publication (right).
Drawing for publication
There is a phrase, coined by past president of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, Candy Feller, that says: "Scientific illustrators do it for reproduction." In other words, whereas a fine artist usually plans their images to be best seen in their original form, usually hanging on a wall, scientific illustrators plan their illustrations so that they look their best in when published. This is a unique way to approach a drawing and requires experience to do it well. In this regard, Sydney Prentice was also a master.
Prentice generally drew his illustrations much larger than the final printed piece would be - at times more than twice the size of the published illustration. This allowed him to fit in the many diagnostic details needed in the drawing and it also improved the drawings dramatically in an aesthetic sense. The lines became very, very fine in publication and any small mistakes in line quality would be greatly minimized. This was standard practice for preparing scientific illustrations prior to the advent of the computer.
Prentice would have used a reducing lens, seen above, to check how his drawings would look in publication.
For more information about scientific illustration see the Illustration Techniques section of the Paleo Art bibliography.

High-poverty schools are bound to fail because good teachers don't want to teach in "toxic concentrations of poverty" with low expectations and less parent involvement, writes New York Times columnist Bob Herbert.
If you really want to improve the education of poor children, you have to get them away from learning environments that are smothered by poverty.
A Century Foundation study in Montgomery County, Maryland, showed that low-income students enrolled in affluent elementary schools outperformed similarly low-income students in higher-poverty schools, Herbert writes.
Studies have shown that it is not the race of the students that is significant, but rather the improved all-around environment of schools with better teachers, fewer classroom disruptions, pupils who are more engaged academically, parents who are more involved, and so on. The poorer students benefit from the more affluent environment.
However, economic integration requires racial and ethnic integration, which "provokes bitter resistance," Herbert claims. Despite our claims to be a "postracial" society, middle-class whites don't want blacks and Hispanics to transfer in to suburban schools. (Why would they welcome "toxic" transfers?)
Herbert is confused about the meaning of "postracial," writes Liam Julian on Flypaper.
There's a practical problem with economic integration: Too many poor kids. The Montgomery County study found low-income students learned more in schools in which no more than 20 percent of students qualified for a subsidized lunch; the benefits vanished when 35 percent of students came from low-income families. "Nationally, 41% of American students are eligible for free and reduced-price lunches," Sara Mead writes.
We can't solve our problems by trying to bus all the poor kids to the suburbs. The challenge is to create healthy, education-valuing school cultures in poor neighborhoods. My book is about a school that's done that. I also recommend Samuel Casey Carter's new book, On Purpose: How Great School Cultures Form Character.
