We had some business associates from out of town spend an evening at our home recently.
Sometimes, in these situations, we all find it difficult to decide what to serve for dinner. I love to cook seafood and can prepare dinner in a vast number of ways, but what if they aren't fond of the blessings from the ocean? Pork tenderloin is great, it can be seasoned just so and served with some cinnamon applesauce. But what if pork just isn't their cup of tea? Well, I choose grilled flank steak with a chimichurri sauce and, by chance, picked one our guests favorites.
But, when cooking a full dinner such as this, I always start with the dessert. I feel it is important to make dessert first, then, no matter where you may be with the rest of the meal the dessert is finished. So, before I faced that daunting question about what to serve for dinner I agonized over dessert. Perhaps they don't like pie. What if they don't care for ice cream? You can appreciate what a dilemma this is. In making my decision I decided to jump ahead of summer, into fall, and go with pumpkin cheesecake.
Give your self plenty of time to make this recipe as you need to bake the crust first and let it cool most of the way back to room temperature. Also, this makes quite a bit, one 9 x 13 x 2 pan. So, cut it in half and use a smaller pan if you need too. When cutting it in half use 2 eggs instead of 3. An 8 x 8 x 2 pan would work nicely.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Crumble
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, cold, diced
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
16 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
1cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbl cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350
Butter the inside of a 9 x 13 x 2 baking pan.
For crust, blend the first 4 ingredients in a food processor until coarse, turn out into a bowl and mix in the pecans and oats. Spread 1/2 of this mixture into the bottom of the buttered pan and press it down, then spread the rest out on a baking sheet for the crumble. Bake the crust in the buttered pan for 25 minutes and the crumble on the baking sheet for 13 minutes.
For filling, blend all ingredients until smooth, spread out on the still slightly warm crust and bake until just set in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 to 12 minutes. Blend all the topping ingredients and gently spread over top. Place it back in the oven and bake for another 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
When cool, crumble all of the remaining crust mixture and sprinkle over the topping.
Now, what was it I was going to make for dinner?

WWII Veteran Sam Rosenstein�s keys to longevity include plenty of laughter, love, fitness and chocolate.
Although he is a�familiar sight at the Life Time Fitness in Scottsdale, Ariz., Sam Rosenstein still manages to turn heads whenever he strolls through the front doors. Why? At 94 years old, the workout warrior and WWII veteran makes an astonishing�and inspiring�sight in the gym. �I just love it,� says Rosenstein of his daily workout hobby. �I enjoy it. It�s what keeps me going." In a world where the WWII veteran population is swiftly dwindling, Rosenstein is something of a rarity, a relic of a bygone era and its memories, sensibilities and beliefs. It�s difficult to find a WWII vet who is not only alive, but also lucid enough to speak about his experiences. Rosenstein's life story is nothing short of amazing. Serving under General Patton in the 87th infantry division during the second World War, he �was instrumental in such pivotal events as the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of Buchenwald. �We were Patton�s right arm,� Rosenstein says. �Every time he needed infantry, we were there.� Upon returning from combat, Rosenstein worked as a cab driver in New York City for almost 35 years, a job that exposed him to an unimaginable range of people and encounters.�Whatever you could think of happening, happened to me,� Rosenstein says with a laugh. �I had a woman give birth to a baby in the backseat of my cab. I was held up with a gun five times.� [caption id="attachment_119506" align="alignnone" width="493"] Sam Rosenstein, left, and son Jerry exercise together almost every morning.[/caption] It was during his time as a cab driver that Rosenstein began working out at his local YMCA. "I was sitting in a cab for 12 hours a day and needed to do something active," he says. "Ever since then, I became interested in gymnastics and working out." As he's gotten older, fitness has remained an integral part of Rosenstein's life. He typically works out with his son, Jerry. Every morning around 10 o�clock, Rosenstein attends his local Life Time Fitness and does a variety of exercises, from weight-training to walking on the treadmill. Fitness, he believes, is what has kept him vital. Rosenstein has been happily married to his wife, Mildred, for a remarkable 68 years. �I picked the right one,� he says. The two met when during the war, when Sam was on furlough from the military. �I met her at a party, and we hit it off,� Rosenstein remembers. �Every time I came back home on furlough, I called her, and that�s the way it started.� Rosenstein credits his marital success to friendship, love and a shared affinity for chocolate. �We like the dark chocolate�there�s not as much sugar as there is in the milky stuff," he says. Rosenstein's secret to longevity? Simple, he says: �I never drank. I never smoked. I exercise,� Rosenstein says. "I�m fortunate to have lived this long. I�m lucky. I survived 18 months on the front lines in WWII and came out in one piece. I�m very fortunate.� It's never too late to start exercising, Rosenstein adds. �Move. Get out there. Exercise,� he says. �Exercise is what has kept me alive. I feel great.� [protected-iframe id="0721de10f658edf75863224f0f34691f-41469694-9604789" info="//player.vimeo.com/video/89919406" width="496" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen=""] This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Hareidim – N.I.M.B.Y.
Latest update: February 18th, 2013
Hareidim – obviously they're worse than the Settlers. Who wants them? Worse, who wants them next living next door to you.
For a supposedly open-minded and tolerant society, some Israelis are very intolerant of Hareidim. So intolerant that they don't want them as neighbors, while simultaneously complaining about Hareidi neighborhoods being enclaves of intolerance and isolation.
In Friday's (Jerusalem Post) In Jerusalem, the paper went on its usual rant about Hareidim (legally, mind you) acquiring more property in Jerusalem for their growing needs.
In this latest story, the (secular) residents of Ramat Sharett, who share a border with (Hareidi) Bayit V'Gan woke up nearly too late to stop the "machinations" that put them on the "forward position on the frontlines of the ongoing haredi-secular battle in Jerusalem".
But luckily these secular residents managed to block the legal hareidi acquisition and construction, and reach a "compromise" with the city, thus acquiring one of the two plots in question for themselves, keeping it out of Hareidi hands who had legally already won it.
This of course follows up with their previous articles on Hareidim making inroads into Kiryat HaYovel, and other "last bastions" of secularism in Jerusalem, to the dismay of the less primitive and more open and tolerant secular residents.
But don't be concerned, all these people say that Hareidim deserve to have a place to live, just not in their back yard.
But what happens when it's not in their back yard?
Not surprisingly, it turns out these tolerant secular open-minded progressives don't want Hareidim to have a place to live there either.
In the Jerusalem Post's weekend magazine, they interviewed Brian Lurie, the new president of the New Israel Fund (NIF) and Naomi Paiss, their VP of public relations.
There's so much disgusting stuff to talk about in that article, but one particular paragraph caught my eye.
As you may have guessed from above, there are so few communities that want to let Hareidim in, for fear of them taking over.
As a result, the Hareidim have been working on building in their own towns and cities (one in the Negev, one in Wadi Ara), where they can let their hair down, and not worry about bothering secular Jews with the threat of encroachment.
But, the NIF and other progressive group don't like the idea that Hareidim should build all-Hareidi towns for themselves. And so they try to block it.
The Jerusalem Post quotes Naomi Paiss, NIF's VP for public relations,
"…the NIF was involved in a campaign to change what was set up to an all-haredi 50,000-person city placed in the Harish wadi area [JS: think Baqa Al-Gharbiya and Umm el Qutuf] between a regular middle-class town of ordinary Jewish people, a kibbutz down the road and an Arab village up the hill."
Paiss says the new city would have ruined an area where pluralism is working by artificially throwing in a new ghetto.
She says she has no problem with Hareidim moving into the new development, but the NIF is proud it has suceeded in making the new development open to all.
So let's analyze her statement, down the road is a left-wing kibbutz ghetto. Up the hill is an exclusively Arab village ghetto (Baka Al-Gharbiya – Arab population 32,000+, Jewish population: 0). And somewhere nearby is a ghetto of middle-class ordinary (presumably secular) Israelis (who would of course welcome in Hareidim with open arms to their town).
So despite all those other ghettos nearby, a new Hareidi ghetto would have ruined the pluralism of the the area. Really.
I don't know about you, but the hypocrisy is just reeking.
And perhaps there's something else that Paiss isn't actually telling us either.
This area, Wadi Ara, is actually an area overwhelmingly populated by Arabs, and not Jews, though it appears to me that she wants you to think otherwise by mentioning a kibbutz and Jewish town alongside and Arab village.
If I were a suspicious fellow, I'd wonder if perhaps the NIF fears that Hareidim moving in, with their high birth rates, would Judaize the Wadi Ara area. While a "pluralistic" town, "open to all" would prevent that from happening.
But I'm not a suspicious fellow, and I'm sure that wasn't a consideration, even if she implied that there was only a small Arab village nearby, and not a few, including one with over 32,000 Arab residents.JoeSettler

I don't want haredim in my backyard. Nor in my front yard. The only yard I want haredim in is a graveyard.
I fervently hope you will die you fecal-antisemite neo-Nazi and soon, to boot!
2 important points, not, rather 3.
1. NIF is an avowedly anti-Israel, borderline antisemitic enemy organisation of the Left. A clear and present danger to the wellbeing and health of Israel and Israeli Jews.
2. Naomi Paiss of NIF is on record (Wikileaks) in her conversation to an American official at the American Embassy that it's "not a tragedy if Israel becoems a majority Arab state in 100 years". This is the quintessential mark of an antisemite, for obvious reasons. The sheer depravity, rottenness and Nazism inside her/them is breathtaking, although knowing them it's not really surprising.
3. JPost's In Jeruslaem is edited by a vacuous, shallow, hollow American oleh, a leftist hippy-Jew called Melanie Lidman who used vulgar language in her cheap, primitive and trashy articles in the past – connected to her Jerusalem Marathon experience 2 years ago.
If you care about Jewish continuity, yet want it to be secular/ traditional, I you had better do something to promote it : Two things, rather : Make Aliyah, and have more children. Otherwise, it is our own graves of extinction we are digging.

Dan Silagi for some reason thinks he has more right to breath the air of this world than anyone else, particularily the haredim. Why is that Dan, your isolationalism is less stinky then that of the Haredim?
You're Exhibit A of why Haredim are poster children for anti-Semitism. BTW, as you've probably guessed, I'm a secular Jew. Of Hungarian extraction. Now stay in Budapest with the real Nazis.
It's the Haredim who are isolationist. It is they who throw stones at secular Israelis who DARE to drive on Shabbat, on public streets in Jerusalem. It is they who put up signs in the United States demanding women and men walk on opposite sides of the street. It is they who speak Yiddish even though they were born here (in the USA), so others, notably secular Jews such as I, won't understand them.
Haredim are poster children for anti-Semitism, and that's why I despise them.
you are not jew, one jew can't wish death to another…
you, actually, worse the any antisimite
I am a secular Jew, Brian. I don't demand that a Jewish woman rabbi worshipping at the Western Wall not wear a tallit (the shawl-like garment observant Jews wear in synagogue) because she's female, and thus apparently violated the fatwa of some rabbi who lived 200 years ago, and was arrested by the Jerusalem police as a result.
I don't throw stones at secular Jews who, heaven forbid, drive on Shabbat. That's what Haredim do in Jerusalem, on public streets.
I don't demand that women move to the back of a public bus. That's what Haredim do in Israel.
This is why I despise Haredim. They are poster children for anti-Semitism and a perversion of a great religion.
Shame on you Dan Silagi. Have we as Jews not suffered enough withought our own people cursing each other. Everyone has a right to their own beliefs whether you like it or not.

Should I say the magnificent Budapest is lightyears ahead of 3rd world shooting-gallery Chicago or even crime-infested NY where I can come home whistling at 3: 30 a.m. wheneevr I want while you in yourpant just at the sheer thought, hmmm. What a fine and dandy place your Obamafraud America is…
Roughly 5 % of the ultras do that, but you don't want to face that because you are a moron.
Dan Silagi and who the f*** cares if you are a secular Jew. Is that a merit, is that sg we have to adore? Laughable.
Larisa Zelenko Did you tell that to me? If so, you are on the exact same level as Dan. But you cannot be an intelligent specie Larisa bearing in mind your way of writing…
Should I say the magnificent Budapest is lightyears ahead of 3rd world shooting-gallery Chicago or even crime-infested NY where I can come home whistling at 3: 30 a.m. whenever I feel like it while you in your pant just at the sheer thought, hmmm. What a fine and dandy place your Obamafraud America is….
Gabor, if you want to call me a Nazi, call me one directly to my face. And it's a lot more than 5%, most of their leaders encourage this kind of behavior.
Gabor Fränkl From your posts, I can see that you agree with that 5%.
You are a Nazi. Happy now?

Any time you wanna dance with me, Gabor. I'm a big guy and a bodybuilder.
Gabor Fränkl I wouldn't expect anything else from the readers of a newspaper whose chief editor once was Meir Kahane. BTW, I preferred him to Haredim; at least he wasn't a coward.
Gabor Fränkl Yeah, I'm secular — and intermarried. Got a problem with that?
So you first suggested I did't dare calling you the n word, then I did that and I was called then a coward. Tell me, are you always so weak in logic? I have my own conclusions. So you are intermarried. Good luck, at elast your children will never be Jewish. But who cares? I am by the way not halachically Jewish. So what. But I am not a disgusting moron either wishing other Jews in graveyard. Effete pathetic snob.

And by the way clintonista-idiot – there are tons of Jews who masochictically enjoy spitting in their face only so that they could wipe the spit off their face and say it was raining. nothing special. 77, others say only 69 % of Jews in America have no spine and no shame, either. Probably never had. You are one of them.
Dan Silagi Should I say the magnificent Budapest is lightyears ahead of 3rd world shooting-gallery Chicago or even crime-infested NY where I can come home whistling at 3: 30 a.m. whenever I feel like it while you in your pant just at the sheer thought, hmmm?

Let's see how physically strong you are, Gabor, you big-mouthed POS. And yeah, I'm a Clintonista too, and proud of it. You're pretty good at shooting off your schwanzsucking yap from 4,500 miles away. Try it from 1 foot, see what happens.
Dan Silagi and by the way *THEN* if you indeed did try something stupid to physically hurt me, I would not like to be in your place based on my understanding of American cops or, alternatively, what the justice system would mete out on you… But you would be happy to rot in prison and I would even be happier, too! That's your place after all, not Meryll Lynch.
"Szilágyi" ROFLMAO!
There is something ingrained in American Law called "fighting words," Gabor. One example would be calling a Jew a Nazi, which you have done. That is considered the equivalent of throwing the first punch. So if you did that I'd be legally justified in beating the living schitt out of you. Which I'm sure I could easily do, btw. My advice to you is to stay in Hungary.
Dan, you are a typical liberal as you resort to name calling when ever you don't have a logical arguement. Do you really believe you are superior to anyone in this world? Liberals claim to be open minded and tolerant but only if someone agrees with them. You sound very juvenile with your in the face, "let's see how tough you are", stance with Gabor. Do any liberal democrats really practise what their party preaches or is it just a ruse to look good. The party of the little guy, the minorities unless they happen to be conservative minorities or the Hareidim. The liberal press would crucify a republican for sterio typing anyone but you seem to be quite free sterio typing Gabor with your POS and shwanzsucking remarks. I'm guessing they have something to do with being of a certain ethnic origin. I'm a Canadian of German?Dutch descent but my ancestors also experienced pograms and persecution for religious reasons.
Gabor Fränkl Yeah, and I'm a direct descendant of Ilona Szilagyi, who married Vlad the Impaler, better known as Count Dracula. So watch your neck, especially when the moon is full and the wolves howl.
Joe Settler, look at what you've created by your article. Did you really expect the responses from the talk-backers to be tolerant and understanding with a willingness to resolve differences when only problems were mentioned with no suggestions of possible solutions to those problems? So, as you blamed, so are the talk-backers blaming. As you didn't open your blog up for suggestions; so, you've received none. I've always enjoyed reading your blogs and have thought that you provide an informative and fresh insight to what is happening in Israel. Could you not provide some informative fresh insights on how to resolve these problems as well? Caroline Glick is another informative and fresh insight article writer but with no plans, suggestions, nor even a hint on what to do with all the problems she expertly described. Like I have done with Caroline's articles, so will I do with yours, I will cease reading them for my eyes are full of seeing problems and I'm searching for informative fresh solutions instead.
May I make a suggestion? This Haredi housing issue is old; so, why don't you try and handle what has become new on the Jewish news web sites lately? It appears that an effort is being made to create Jews-for-Muhammed by stating that Islam is a religion of tolerance, love and peace. It appears that Jews are falling for this effort as well. You might find, Joe Settler, that your efforts in trying to combat this Islamic effort might be the same type of efforts one would need to use to combat this Haredi housing issue.Good luck in all your efforts.
Liad Bar-El: There are Nazi-wannabes in the world. We can't avoid talking about important issues just because some troll will leave a sicko comment.
The solution is obvious. Chareidim should be allowed to build new towns and communities that meet their needs.
This is not to the exclusion of working to integrate Chariedim into the work force (priority 1) and the IDF (priority 2).
All sides of the Israeli spectrum will gain from this integration, and eventually learn to live together respectfully, peacefully and tolerantly in the same community.And just as importantly, it will cause an increase of Torah in Israel among everyone.
But it will take time to integrate properly, and it shouldn't be forced overnight.
Most Chareidim want to join the work force, and many want to join the IDF. But Israeli secular society must also be prepared for the compromises it to must make for this integration to work.
Islam is currently not a religion of peace, tolerance and love.
But who says it can't be in the future?
At some point they could reinterpret their religion and turn it into what it is not today.
They could have a Reformation.
Perhaps we are witnessing the first steps of that happening (probably not though).
In my opinion, promoting a reformed and peaceful Islam should be done on Islamic sites. Letting the Moslems know there is an alternative exists that doesn't justify blowing up buses and restaurants.
But Islamic sites aren't open enough to letting something like that on.
I haven't yet formed a strong enough opinion on the subject to really comment on whether the Jewish papers should cover it.
When Haredim, both in Israel and the USA, stop dictating to others, especially other Jews, how they should practice or not practice their religion, then I'll become far more tolerant of them. Right now, the opposite is happening, and it's getting worse. I can't think of a reason why any secular Jew would want to make aliyah to Israel at this time, what with Haredim not recognizing marriages, etc.
Joe Settler 100% right on the Haredi issue. Concerning Islam, the founder, Muhammad, was the inventor of insurgency warfare and history's first successful practitioner. Muhammad used terrorism to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies on a large scale. In the case of the Jewish tribes of Medina, Muhammad seems to have ordered the death of the entire Beni Qaynuqa tribe and the selling of their women and children into slavery, though he was later talked out of it by the chief of one of his allies. On another occasion, again against a Jewish tribe of Medina, he ordered all the tribe's adult males, some nine hundred, beheaded in the city square, the women and children sold into slavery, and their property distributed among his Muslim followers. Shortly after the conquest of Mecca, Muhammad declared "war to the knife" against all those who remained idolaters, instructing his followers to kill any pagans they encountered on the spot. Muhammad was a revolutionary and a fiery religious terrorist guerrilla leader who created and led the first genuine national insurgency in antiquity that is comprehensible in modern terms, a fact not lost on the jihadis of the present day, who often cite the Koran and Muhammad's use of violence as justification for their own insurgencies. With all of this said, which is just a drop in sea of the atrocities Islam has done in this world, it would appear that the "Reformation" that you speak of will be when the Mosiach comes. If this group of Islamists for peace can turn their Islamic jihad terrorist brethren around to peace then all the more power to them. They don't have to sell me anything about peace of which we all want, they have to sell their peace to their own people who attack us daily and want to destroy us completely with nuclear bombs.
This isn't about Haredim having the right to their own beliefs. If they want to wear black hats and shaytels who am I to stop them? What this is about is Haredim trying to impose their religion on others. Specifically, about Maris Friedman, a Chabadnik rabbi, stating the Holocaust was the fault of Jews, not Nazis. That's what got me going yesterday. I have relatives, fortunately not very close ones, who were murdered by the Nazis. It wasn't their fault any more than the tsunami which devastated Japan in 2011 was my fault.

Toshiba Corp. on Tuesday said that it will rebuild its semiconductor manufacturing operations in Thailand by relocating Toshiba Semiconductor Thailand to a new manufacturing facility. The move will position the company to meet future growth in demand and replace the factory inundated by the 2011 floods.
Established in 1990, TST carries out back-end processes – assembly and packaging – for small signal devices and photocouplers. Small signal devices control current and voltage in digital consumer products, a product segment that is expected to grow in coming years, with a primary focus on smart phones and tablets PCs. Photocouplers are used widely in industrial products, such as inverters, and are also expected to see strong demand growth.
The new facility will be located at the 304 Industrial Park, Prachinburi, approximately 140km northeast of Bangkok and will replace TST's facilities at Bangkadi Industrial Park in Pathumthani, in the suburbs immediately north of Bangkok. The new site is at 15 to 20 meters above sea level and outside Thailand's main drainage basins, with no major rivers, so it offers TST advantages in the viewpoint of business continuity planning (BCP). Construction of a two-story building will begin in July, on a lot with an area of approximately 135 thousand square meters, 1.4 times the size of the Bangkadi lot.
Construction of the factory will allow TST and Toshiba Group to respond flexibly to market demand with facilities offering greater operating efficiency and higher productivity. The plant is scheduled for completion next spring and mass production is slated to start in the second quarter (April-June) of 2013.
The initial investment of the facility including the cost of the construction will be largely met by flood insurance settlements and is not expected to impact on the results of Toshiba's semiconductor business. Future investment and production expansion will be flexibly determined in light of market trends and customer needs.
Last year's flooding completely inundated TST's manufacturing facilities, resulting in a forced suspension of operations. As TST made every effort to recover operations, Toshiba responded with a BCP based on transferring operations to its production facilities in Japan and Malaysia and making use of outsourcing.

A new plan for small business
An entrepreneurial development plan for Webster City is looking to create and expand local small businesses and see more employees hired in town.
On Monday, the city council approved the plan, developed in coordination with the Institute for Decision Making (IDM), part of the University of Northern Iowa's business and community support program, and Iowa Source Link. Those groups received grant funds from the Economic Development Administration to work with two communities that are experiencing high unemployment and where there are conditions that might facilitate the creation of new small businesses. Webster City was one of those communities chosen.
David Toyer, Webster City economic developer, said IDM has worked with Webster City in 2010 as part of the city's economic development efforts. They have consulted with the city to analyze the workforce displaced by the closing of Electrolux and what targeted industries the city should focus its efforts on.
"One of the things that came out of some of the survey work done when Electrolux was leaving, workforce development noted that there was a very high percentage of people working at Electolux that were being laid off that had interest in starting a business or would like to consider starting a business one day," Toyer said. "We looked at that as an opportunity."
Toyer said small business is a huge percentage of growth in America. He noted a couple of success stories from Webster City, including Vantec Inc. and Van Diest Supply Company.
The entrepreneurial development plan addresses several facets of small business. It includes access to capital, community capacity and support, technical assistance, training and networking.
"One of the biggest challenges of small businesses is, either there's not money available for what they're doing to help finance it or they don't know where that money is at. It needs to be clear what capital can be accessed," Toyer said.
Community capacity and support addresses the importance of institutions such as the Small Business Development Center in Fort Dodge and the Chamber of Commerce down to zoning codes. Toyer said a number of new zoning amendments were approved at the city council about a month ago that were more supportive of small business.
Technical assistance and training involves making resources such as small business consulting available to businesses. Toyer said the plan aims to streamline that process by making those institutions aware of other options available options for those businesses.
Toyer said networking is also essential for small businesses. He said small businesses tend to benefit from working with other small businesses and being in an environment where they can pair up with other groups that might have more expertise on a subject. Toyer said research shows that small businesses with assistance in these areas are more successful.
The goal of the plan is to see 10 new businesses start, 20 business expansions and 26 ore more new employees hired through 2015. Those numbers were reached through an IDM analysis that studied the population, number of businesses and capacity for entrepreneurship in Webster City.
"We believe [those numbers] are realistic," Toyer said. "Given what it is we're working on right now, we have several things that put us in those categories that will keep us moving towards those goals."
Since the plan was approved by the city council, the plan will now go to a number of other groups. That includes the Small Business Development Center, the Chamber of Commerce, and others involved in the plan. Toyer said as the plan requires the expertise of more than just city officials, it will require approval of the other outside groups involved.
The mix of recruiting businesses to relocate to Webster City, helping grow existing businesses and working with new businesses is vital to the economic success of Webster City, according to Toyer.
"While it's great to have a large employer in town, you've also seen in Webster City what happens when such an integral large business leaves. It has a huge impact. The goal behind all this is to try and diversify the types of businesses in Webster City. By diversifying, we insulate ourselves against more significants negative things like the departure of Electrolux."

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Follow the Big Money
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When the richest men in the world are buying into the stock market, you should be, too, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday. Cramer said while some analysts may be encouraging investors to sell, those in the know are signaling it's time to buy, buy, buy.
Cramer said he's always been an advocate of buying on weakness, which is why he was telling investors to buy into Monday's big selloff. That was good advice again today, he said, because the market quickly snapped back and resumed rally mode. But more important than the markets are what the big boys are doing, said Cramer.
Case in point: Larry Ellison, Michael Dell and John Malone.
Cramer said that Ellison, founder of Oracle (ORCL) , saw huge value in the market when he opted to buy Acme Packet (APKT) , a terrific tech company whose stock has been down on its luck of late.
Then there's Michael Dell, CEO of Dell (DELL) , who also saw value in his company -- so much so that he was able to whip up a $24.4 billion deal to take the company private.
Finally, there's billionaire John Malone of Liberty Media (LMCA) , who is spending $12 billion to take a stake in Virgin Media (VMED) , giving his media empire huge exposure to the European market for a steal.
Cramer said all three of these business titans are signaling that now's the time to take the plunge into this very inexpensive stock market. "Don't bother waiting," said Cramer. Deals like these are likely to continue.
Off The Charts
In the "Off The Charts" segment, Cramer went head to head with colleague Bob Lang over the charts of four tech titans, Facebook (FB) , Amazon.com (AMZN) , Netflix (NFLX) and Google (GOOG) , or FANG.
Lang noted that while Facebook's daily chart shows volatility, with a floor at $28 and a ceiling at $32, he'd be a buyer at the $28 level. This view was confirmed by Facebook's weekly chart, which displayed a bullish cup-and-handle pattern.
Lang said Amazon's daily chart may look stalled, with the MACD momentum indicator also signaling sell, but looking at a weekly chart tells a different story, with the MACD signaling a buy. Lang felt any pullback in Amazon will be brief and he'd be a buyer.
Both Netflix and Google displayed similar bullish patterns. Netflix' daily chart displayed a bullish pennant pattern, while Google's just made a new all-time high.
Cramer said he was in agreement with Lang's analysis, saying investors need to forget about Dell and go where the action is, and that's with "FANG."
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Sandy Cutler, chairman and CEO of Eaton (ETN) , which just beat earnings expectations by 4 cents a share. Cramer currently owns shares of Eaton for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.

Understanding Problem Gambling
Understanding Problem Gambling
Most people who gamble do so without experiencing problems related to their gambling. Unfortunately, a small, but important subset of this group develop a debilitating addictive disorder commonly referred to as Compulsive Gambling. Individuals with Compulsive Gambling are preoccupied with gambling and suffer uncontrollable urges to gamble. The central behavioral characteristic of compulsive gambling is "chasing the bet" in which the gambler deals with a significant loss by returning with additional money to try to "get even". The behavior of chasing the bet fuels larger and larger losses as the compulsive gambler bets larger amounts over longer periods of time in an effort to counter the accumulating losses. The compulsive gambler will often lie to others, including loved ones, about their gambling. As a group compulsive gamblers experience increased rates of co-occurring psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide. The Louisiana Study of Problem Gambling (2002) reported that 1.5-2% of individuals in Louisiana suffer from Compulsive Gambling resulting in an estimate of from 3,105 to 4,140 individuals from Southwest Louisiana suffering from Compulsive Gambling.
Compulsive gamblers may be male or female, young or old, from any ethnic group, religion or income level. He or she may gamble on video poker, slots, horse races, card games, dice, sports, lottery, bingo, or the stock market. Some estimates have indicated that adolescents may have an even higher incidence of compulsive gambling, perhaps as high as 6 to 8 % of the adolescent population (http://www.thegamble.org). Any game of chance that allows the gambler to place money at risk can occasion a gambling addiction in a vulnerable individual.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great fun, friendly multiterrain with a ruddy great hill in it.In full: My first Parbold Hill and I didn't know the course - but what a beauty.Thanks to Skem and Parbold Harriers for organising such a friendly, fun, challenging race.The offroad sections were more cross-country than trail as it was so muddy. This race has it all: a brutal climb or several, stiles, cow fields, mud, mud, mud, haybale fence crossings, a stream... And helpful marshalls not afraid to give orders at the more breakneck bits. Ace! I'll be back.Date of review: February 16, 2013
In short: Nicely organised, clubby two lap race in a quiet corner of Norwich with views of Whitlingham BroadIn full: Welldone to CONAC for the organisation of this race. You made it look easy and we all know it's not!The Snowsports centre makes a comfortable base with changing and baggage facilities and chip timing is unusual for a club-race.The two-lap course felt tougher than I expected. A long, long uphill drag (twice!) was challenging. The downhill a nice relief.Water station, goody bag, medal online results etc. all nicely done belying some hard work behind the scenes I'm sure.I was on my own and visiting from afar so appreciated the support from the small band of spectators near the Start and Finish.Date of review: April 10, 2012
In short: Lovely, scenic offroad parkland 10K with a friendly atmosphere. NOT a road race.In full: Turned up to do this at fairly short notice and really enjoyed. Well organised as you'd expect of a charity race and relatively small (about 500 runners). The parkland views are lovely - the course takes in woodland, rough grassland, past meres and even herds of deer.It's definitely undulating with a long climb between kilometres 5 and 6 and then from 9 till nearly 10K, and lots of other ups and downs in between. Plus the trickiness of uneven terrain - rough and pitted grassland, various types of mud/tree root/fallen leaves etc. All good fun - but definitely not a road race as billed here. There's about a kilometre on tarmac in the middle. But for that I'd have been happy in spikes and trail shoes would be ideal.Well organised - plenty of parking, portaloos, baggage, cups of tea facilities and a mars bar and t-shirt at the end.Date of review: March 12, 2012
In short: Fast two lap course on roads, well marshalled, PB potential and semi rural so prettier than the words "bypass" may suggest.In full: Managed to post a very decent (for me) time in my first 10 mile race thanks to a very smooth course. It has some slight undulations but is mainly flat and run along suburban roads and the side of a bypass. Thanks to all the marshalls making it possible to run safely with the traffic - very nicely done. And thanks to the organisers for making hot drinks/soup etc. available at the school which serves as the start/finish/changing point. Much needed on a foggy morning in West Lancashire. More scenic than I expected as the roads are passing through semi-rural farmland type scenery. The odd worm hazard as they tried to slither across footpaths on a damp morning - but only hazardous to the poor worms! Date of review: November 21, 2011
In short: Some of the sights of the London marathon - in a halfIn full: For a race this size I thought that the organisation was excellent.I'm glad I did it for the opportunity to take in some of the real tourist sights of London in a unique way - running down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace and very close to the Houses of Parliament for example.The race would benefit from more miles spent outside the park, taking in those sights and a few less looping and switchbacking through Hyde Park. The latter became a little monotonous and there were a few 180 degree turns with stunning views of other runners going in the other direction!Even though it's reasonably flat, the PB potential is limited by the sheer weight of runners.Date of review: October 12, 2009
In short: The beach is a slog....In full: Well organised race with okay scenery. As a local, I wasn't going to be particularly impressed by the beach...which was tough going. I'd have preferred not slogging in a straight line along the damp sand, it gets monotonous - but that's not a criticism of the race.The marshals were friendly and encouraging. My only criticism would be that the race organisation seemed to play second fiddle to fundraising at the start - so it was difficult to get information, say, on whether there was a water station. There was, but no one at the start could tell you that.Date of review: September 23, 2008
In short: My first trail race - well organised but the hill was tough!In full: This is a well-organised, beginner friendly race in lovely surroundings. But beware beginners, you need to be prepared for a solid uphill 2K climb at the very start - and some more short, sharp hills to come. Some congestion on the first hill was inevitable, with many people walking from the off.The course was well marked and there were two water stations, though there were few marshals around the course. Some support wouldn't have gone amiss - it felt like a lonely slog at points.Fairly good goodie-bag containing a medal, branded shoe bag and various energy snacks - though I'd have liked a T-shirt and/or chip-timing for the price.Date of review: July 4, 2008
In short: Congested but good for charity fundraisingIn full: Hmm, a frustrating run this one. Viewed as a charity run it was great - the charity village at the GMEX was really well organised, the bands playing around the course were a nice touch etc.As a race I'm not so convinced. It was very hot and congested. I was in the second wave and spent the first 2K dodging walkers and generally weaving through congestion, then caught up with walkers from the previous (supposedly fast!) wave and the frustration redoubled. Running around Old Trafford was particularly congested and unimpressive.Organisation at the end was good, T-shirt good quality and lots of medics on hand.Course was reasonably fast - I struggled to a PB - but dull.The sheer numbers at the beginning made for lots of waiting around and getting kicked to bits by other runners during the aerobic warmup.Date of review: May 22, 2008
In short: Friendly, off-road 10KIn full: The three lap course is slightly repetitive, but as it's all (nearly) flat and within a country-park it's worth it. Lots for supporters to do with good parking, adventure playground, cafe etc. Water bottle and Mars bar were welcome too.Date of review: April 30, 2008
In short: Lovely route, well organised, shame about the weather.In full: I knew this one would be good having spectated at it throughout my childhood and only the weather disappointed. It really is a good race - the first half is on a closed carriageway of the road, the return leg on the prom coming around the bay. If the drizzle hadn't been obscuring the beach it would have been lovely. Fruit and a generous goodie bag was a nice touch, the giant bottle of shampoo was just funny.A couple of minor niggles:- Not enough toilets. Are there ever? I ran needing a wee, which is never great.- The expected finish time markers at the start weren't obvious. I looked for them and couldn't find them, so guesstimated where to stand. I was told afterwards that they were on the side of the rugby club on the other side of the road. This might explain some of the complaints below.- I would have prefered a cup of water to a heavy bottle at the water station.Date of review: September 25, 2007

New talks may help end symphony strike
SPOKANE, Wash. - The show might go on. The management and musicians of the Spokane Symphony will return to the bargaining table this week in an effort to reach a contract agreement before "The Nutcracker" ballet begins.
The ballet opens next Thursday, and it's the difference of hearing the music from the orchestra or from recorded music.
Symphony musicians went on strike Nov. 3, nearly one month ago. They say management proposed a two-year contract with about a 13-percent pay cut. The 68 musicians in the symphony rejected that contract but said they would take a six-percent pay cut.Symphony strike update
This dispute has already led to five symphony cancellations, but both sides hope they can reach an agreement before next week.
"We value the musicians. They are the performers and we want to resolve this so we can get back to working, performing, and being the community asset the symphony is," Symphony board president Peter Moye said.
"The Spokane Symphony exists to provide great live music for the Inland Northwest so everyone in the organization -- the board, staff, musicians -- we all need to be on board to getting back to that," Orchestra committee chairman Adam Wallstein said.
Wallstein said the symphony would need to start rehearsal two days before the first performance to be ready, so if this contract dispute is not settled by next Tuesday, recorded music would be used for the Nutcracker performance next Thursday.
There are a total of five performances of The Nutcracker at the Fox scheduled between Dec. 6 and 9.
The musicians of the Spokane Symphony will hold a benefit concert to raise money for lost wages this Saturday at the Westminster Congregational United Church of Christ. The church is located at 411 S Washington Street.
The doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 3 p.m. It is free and open to the public, but donations will be accepted.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
— The Olympic Creed
Attributed to Pierre de Coubertin, the creed was inspired by a sermon given by the Bishop of Pennsylvania on the first Sunday of the London Olympic Games in 1908. During a religious service in St. Paul's Cathedral, the bishop delivered these words, "The important thing in these Olympiads is not to win, but to take part."
The creed has been displayed during the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games ever since.

There are only burner holes along the two outside tubes, how is that even heating?
My continued repeating you want multiple low pressure burners and manifold??
I'm trying best to help you out using laymen's terms but you seem to keep changing the system willy nilly and jumping from one concept to another and leaving me to do more work at surmising what you intend to say at any given point on this thread.
After 33 messages it appears all that was accomplished were typing lessons. So what purpose did this serve?
Sorry if I come off as cross.
Richard, You can not combine a forced air and a venturi burner system. In a venturi the vacuum created by the rush of gas out of the jet pulls air into the venturi area to be mixed. A forced air system is the exact opposite, it is the rush of air that pulls gas into the flow. The principles and execution are 180 degrees out from one another. Also could someone please show me a link to a high pressure commericial oven, I don't seem to be able to locate one on the internet.Donp.s. Richard, I went back and reread your posts and can't find a mention of using forced air until yesterday.
Richard, The standard hole sizes for LP gas and NG orifices are as follows: LP Gas Drill Size: #72 (.0250"), Natural Gas Drill Size: #56 (.0465"), your orifice/jet size is completly wrong, 2mm?¿ that's way to big to be correct and there is no reason to continue discussing your burner until you have the proper sized jets installed. Don
Can any one explain how the heat dampers work to regulate the top and bottom temps?
The dampers are just extensions of the deflectors under the stones. The bottom and side deflection is taking the rising heat, and, rather than sending it right into the stone (bottom heat), it's redirecting the heat up the sides of the oven and into the top of the baking chamber, heating the ceiling and the top of the pizza (top heat).2" thick bricks will take a while to pre-heat- most likely at least 2 hours. They will also stay hot long after you're closed. They should give you stellar recovery between pies, though. A thicker brick should be naturally more diffusive, so you might not need that much deflection underneath- especially since, as you add more mass (in the form of deflection), the greater the extension on the pre-heat. The hearth heat, with all this mass, is going to be pretty unresponsive. If, for some reason, you need to turn the thermostat up, it will take at least a couple of hours for the heat coming from below to reach the top of the hearth. Not that thermal mass is bad- it's just slow to respond and will take some time to get used to.A steel plate ceiling might be the answer, but I think, due to the lack of conductivity of brick, the bricks will respond a bit better to a frequently opened door. Still, if you have better access to steel... I might give it a shot. 1/2" sounds like a good amount of thermal mass.
The ceiling bricks on the Marsal aren't insulating. They're plain vanilla firebrick- like the brick's you're using as a hearth. The decks are fibrament- cast reinforced refractory cement and the ceiling is traditional firebrick. They also offer a firebrick hearth option.
I don't think the Marsal has an adjustable damper. It's an interesting concept, but I'm not sure what it brings to the table. With the fact that, in a bottom heat source scenario, the top is rarely as hot as you want it to be, I'm not sure damper adjustment is really all that necessary. I would think that you would want the air flow to always be max coming up from below.
I don't know what vanilla refers to. Is it just the colour?However I don't think they are they are the same as the bricks I'll be using for the hearth. In the video they mention that they are "lightweight firebricks". I have seen similar bricks available here but they are very different from the 2.3g per cu cm that I will be using on the hearth.I have presumed they are insulating. They use the same bricks at the back of the Marsal where it would be disadvantageous to have radiant heat.
I'm still thinking to have a top burner but was considering a hybrid using maybe smaller vents at the side.
Richard, 'vanilla' is a another word for 'standard,' ie, nothing special. The narrator uses the term 'lightweight' in the context that the bricks are lighter than the 70 lb. fibrament slabs. I promise you, they aren't insulating bricks. Insulating bricks have very little mass. Without the mass, they don't radiate. The radiant heat from above is the entire purpose for the brick ceiling. The bricks absorb heat into their mass and then radiate it down onto the pizza. In non brick ceiling ovens, when you turn up the oven very high, the bottoms start burning before the tops are done. The additional top heat from the brick ceiling helps to balance this out. Without the brick ceiling, you're talking about 7 minute bakes, at a minimum. With the radiating mass of the bricks, you can get down to that magic 4 minute bake.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but I've never seen a top burner in a gas deck oven. The thermodynamics is pretty simple. Good deflection underneath, proper sized side channels, a brick ceiling to absorb and radiate heat, along with an abundance of BTUs. Top burners, on the other hand, seem far more complex. You've got to make sure the top burner has it's own air supply. It seems like, from home ovens, that gas broilers tend to work better pointed upward with a shiny metal sheet to reflect the heat back down. You're also talking about another pilot light/ignition.
I gotta agree with Scott here, although originally I thought a top burner would be easier to engineer then the deflectors and baffles of a bottom only oven, now that I've seen them there really is nothing to it. As an added benefit I feel it would be easy to add a top burner after the fact if the bottom burner only configuration isn't working for some reason, so you always have that as a plan b to fall back on.

Skip to comments.Claim: EPA Head Used Secret Email to Hide Documents
Posted on 11/17/2012 9:18:41 PM PST by chessplayer
The House Science Committee is investigating whether Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson used the secret email alias "Richard Windsor" to hide internal communications from government watchdogsan action that may violate open-records laws.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
History may flag this administration as one of the great cesspools of corruption. We won't know until later, due to the media blockade.
"Windsor?" Sheesh. Illusions of royalty much?
Brazen, unabashed, shameless, are synonyms for the type of transparency which this administration represents.
Just being sexist.
HOORAY Breitbart! DISMANTLE the EPA!
When you are at war with capitalism, some things must stay on the down-low.
eww...looks like he/she's suffering from climate change, and had the ugly stick therapy
That is one hideous looking POS.
Brazen, unabashed, shameless, are synonyms for the type of transparency which this administration represents.
Yes. She is quite the tyrant.
Criminals use assumed nemes often, to hide their action.
Dick Windsor, eh?
Well, Dick does seem to be an extraordinarily popular name for Democrats in recent years.
History may flag this administration as one of the great cesspools of corruption.
I seriously doubt it simply because he's black. It will not do to have the first ever black president be seen as corrupt and a failure. I think thats a big reason Pravda USA is so slobberingly devoted to him and covers up everything he does. I really believe historians will claim he is the greatest president in U.S. history if not the greatest leader in world history.
That is only because the SPINELESS GOP allow them to be.
On Facebook, the GOP is called the Stooopid party.
I thought Clinton was corrupt - Zero and his folks make Clinton look like an Eagle Scout.
"...to hide internal communications..."
This isn't an Administration, it's a collection of subversive cells.
Of course the FBI couldn't be bothered to investigate this...too busy going after Petraeus and reading those juciy 30k emails from Allen to Jill Kelly.
Black's and now latino's are enjoying the tephlon coating they wear allowing them to comitt crimes they will never be convicted of. We need to break this mindset with prosecutions convctions and jail time to stop it. Because of the "war on women" there is hope that they to will be able to use this tephlon coating. Do not accuse me, do not question me, do not insult my intelligence and authority, my word is final.
"That is only because the SPINELESS GOP allow them to be."
You think they're spinless? HAH! Just try and cut their perks and benefits and see what happens.
Yes, you have a point. Maybe we could link that to their 'work objectives.'
Africa is full of corrupt and failed black leaders.
As my grandfather would say, "That poor woman is so ugly, that if she joined the Miss America pageant she would lose her citizenship."
I miss that old man.
GOP House: Do your job. Impeach this woman. She is clearly scheming to break the law. What else do you need to know. Impeachment, use it or lose it. Are these Obama whores subject to the laws, or not? If the answer is no then we are truly just subjects of an alien occupation government, and must begin to act accordingly.
That is SO true. If those in "authority" do nothing to this perp...so what?

Its apparently open season on Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith, inexplicably, was the latest to pile on, suggesting (we think) he did not care for the former Southern Cal quarterback.
I wouldnt let Mark Sanchez throw me a paper bag sandwich, Smith said on WFNZ, via the Sporting News.
While Smith bagging on opponents is nothing new, choosing Sanchez as a target seems unusual.
And truth be told, Smith has caught passes from worse quarterbacks than Sanchez, even if thats not the case right now.

Immigration and Refugee Board
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Svend Robinson Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in Toronto I met with Korean refugee Song Dae Ri and his young son, Chung Il.
Mr. Ri fled to Canada with his family from the terror of the brutal North Korean regime in 2001. Both his wife and his father were executed in North Korea, and now a Canadian officer of the Immigration and Refugee Board has ordered that Mr. Ri be sent back to North Korea even though he faces certain death himself.
I call on the immigration minister today to immediately reverse this outrageous, cruel decision and allow Mr. Ri to remain in Canada with his beloved son. It is cruel to keep him waiting any longer.
The minister should also reprimand Bonnie Milliner, the officer who made this incredible decision, and change the blatantly political IRB appointments process.
Song Dae Ri is not a war criminal. I join with thousands of Canadians in appealing to the minister to show compassion and humanity and grant Song Dae Ri and his son permanent residence in Canada today.

Bernard Bigras Rosemont—Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in my riding of Rosemont—Petite-Patrie, more than 150 people attended a conference on the U.S. Army's plan, which is supported by the federal government, to widen and deepen the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Speakers Alain Saladzius from Rivers Foundation, Luc Bergeron from Stratégies Saint-Laurent, and Nicolas Milot, a Master's student in environmental science, talked about the environmental impact the U.S. project would have on our St. Lawrence. The erosion of banks, toxic sediment resuspension and an increase in invasive species are just a few examples of the likely consequences to our ecosystem.
I call on all Quebeckers to join the coalition started by the Bloc Quebecois and six environmental groups to oppose the expansion of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Let us send a clear message to the federal government to keep its hands off our river.
Canadian Heritage

Serge Marcil Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, every year in February, Canadians from coast to coast recognize our culture, our history and our values by celebrating Black History Month, National Flag Day and Heritage Day.
Today, to mark Heritage Day, the Heritage Canada Foundation has chosen the theme "Defending Canada: Our Military Heritage Sites and Buildings". We can all take part in that theme by preserving personal objects and public collections that symbolize our military heritage. Let us never forget.
Canadians can celebrate by accessing the virtual exhibits on New France and Dieppe through the National Archives site, or by viewing masterpieces depicting the battlefields of Europe in the Canadian War Museum collection. It is also possible to discover stories in our communities, through our public libraries, historical associations and dedicated volunteers.

Randy White Langley—Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, the great Canadian dream is to own one's own home after years of hard work to pay the mortgage. I want to tell Canadians what is really going on so I will use just one example of many.
Phu Son came to Canada in 1994. He was 38 years old and had no money when he arrived. He has been on welfare from the time he arrived 10 years ago. He recently got busted for drug dealing. Now I find he owns three homes, not one but three: one in Abbotsford, another in Aldergrove, and yet another in Langley, British Columbia.
How does a person come to Canada and stay on welfare for 10 years? How does a person living exclusively on welfare come to own three houses? Why are these houses not seized as proceeds of crime and used for rehabilitation of drug addicts?
I do not know the answers, but the government of British Columbia and the federal Liberal government have a lot of explaining to do. This situation is becoming all too common in this country.
Liberal Task Force on Seniors

Yolande Thibeault Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that, last week, the Liberal task force on seniors tabled its report on the means through which seniors' lives could be improved.
As chair of this task force, I wish to point out the excellent work of my colleagues, who have held consultations across the country and who have met with over 325 stakeholders, including local groups, experts on issues relating to seniors and, of course, the general public.
The concerns of our seniors can be summed up in these words: health, dignity and safety. As citizens, we have a duty to see that the rights of all those who have built our country are respected. We hope that this report will help decision makers ensure that seniors obtain the services they need, when they need them, and are able to take an active part in community life. It is by creating favourable conditions for them that we will continue to benefit from their contribution—

Rahim Jaffer Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate CISN radio in Edmonton. CISN radio has been a pillar of support in our community, contributing to numerous charitable and local projects.
Among the many honours it has received were the president's award from CORUS Entertainment, and afternoon DJ Chris Scheetz's nomination for "on air personality of the year" from the Canadian Country Music Association.
The crowning achievement was the awarding of the Canadian Country Music Station of the Year.
For the community, Chris Scheetz lived in a tractor for five days to raise over $103,000 for struggling farm families. CSIN's efforts with the "Mad Dash to the Border" rallied Canadians to support Alberta's beef industry.
Most recently, CISN raised over a million dollars during a radiothon for Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation.
I am proud CISN FM is located in Edmonton. I congratulate the station on a very successful year.
The next time members are in Edmonton I ask them to remember to turn their radio dial to 103.9 FM.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has launched his pre-election damage control tour. Who is paying? The taxpayer, of course.
However it would be nice if we could clean up some of the scandal here at home.
My question is for the Deputy Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister asked all his cabinet ministers who sat at the table what their involvement was in this scandal?

Anne McLellan Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and the government have been absolutely clear. We want to get to the bottom of this matter for the Canadian public. That is why we have instituted what can only be described as the most comprehensive action plan that probably any government has ever put in place: a public inquiry; a public accounts committee; the work being undertaken by my colleagues, the Minister of Public Works and the President of the Treasury Board.
This is a government and a Prime Minister committed to getting to the bottom of this situation.

Mr. Speaker, did anybody in Canada hear the answer to my question, which was pretty specific?
The Deputy Prime Minister sat on the cabinet's unity committee and communication committee. In those positions, she had to have precise knowledge of what was going on with the sponsorship program in Quebec.
I am asking her specifically now. When did she know about the sponsorship problem and why did she not speak up?

Mr. Speaker, as has been said in the House on many occasions by any number of us, of course we were aware of the sponsorship program. However none of us were aware of the details, the allegations put in play by the Auditor General last week.
That is why we called for a public inquiry. We want to get to the bottom of this. We all want to know what happened here. We believe that is what the Canadian public deserves to know.

Mr. Speaker, I note again: no response to the specific question.
We have $250 million, a quarter of a billion dollars worth of taxpayer money, and $100 million of that went for commissions and fees with absolutely no benefit to the Canadian public.
My question once again is: What will it take for the Deputy Prime Minister to get up and tell us when she knew? Does she have to go kicking and screaming to a public inquiry under oath?

Mr. Speaker, I think any number of us have been very clear. As a matter of the existence of the program, of course we knew there was a sponsorship program. However, did we know the details in relation to how the program was being operated? No.
In fact it was a former minister of public works who called in the Auditor General to review this program. It was my colleague, now the Minister of Finance, who froze the program. And in fact it is this government and this Prime Minister who have put in place a comprehensive response to--

Mr. Speaker, getting to the bottom is a great idea because that is where they will find all those Liberal Party bottom-feeders. However it will leave a big oil slick on the surface.
Yesterday the Prime Minister told Canadians that spending oversight was not his job; that, he said, was the responsibility of the Treasury Board president.
Perhaps the former president of the Treasury Board could tell us how $100 million could be ripped off from taxpayers right under her nose? How could she stand the smell?

Mr. Speaker, I think we can start with the changes that were undertaken in, I believe, June 1993, by the then Kim Campbell government who removed the comptrollership program, the second line of oversight, something that this Prime Minister has offered to restore.

Beautiful!I am sure I have asked you before, but could you tell me once again what your heat settings for top and bottom elements on the P134H (as I just got one and am learnign how best to use it), and how long and at what temperature you ferment your dough?
I made a quick pizza for lunch and the same dough performed just fine! The main difference was that I took the dough straight from the fridge and did not let it warm up at all. Yesterday it had about 2 hours to warm up, which must have given the Ischia enough of a kick to overblow it.Today's was much easier to handle, with far less stickiness!
Great ! Create your thread and post photos !!
Beautiful as always!
Hi Greg,What difference in performance are you expecting to see with the additional stone? Also, was it purchased from manufacturer and what was the cost?

Large-scale electricity storage promises to be a game-changer, unshackling alternative energy.in vast geologic vaults. Another idea is to create a network of small, energy-dense batteries in tens of millions of homes. Under such a "distributed storage" scheme, utility computers could coordinate electricity flows over a "smart grid" that continually communicates with — and adjusts the flow of power to and from — local batteries. This would even include batteries in future plug-in hybrid or all-electric vehicles.

Cost will be key for determining which battery or other storage technologies prevail.are pumped into storage tanks, allowing still more chemical to be charged and pumped away, then pumped back into the active portion of the battery and drawn down as needed. One big advantage: Battery "size" can be expanded by simply adding more chemicals and more storage tanks. In 2003, the local utility on small King Island, off the coast of Australia, installed a large flow battery to sop up and later release excess power from a wind farm.
The stored power in electric cars, or anywhere on the grid, might not come from batterieshumidity, and the lithium has a bad habit of acting like ignited gasoline when exposed to moisture, creating a real risk of fire and explosion. Chandrasekhar Narayan, manager of science and technology at IBM's Almaden Research Center near San Jose, Calif., has suggested that it will take five to 10 years to develop an effective membrane that will let oxygen into the battery while keeping moisture out.
