Dutch Blitz® is a highly interactive, highly energetic, family-friendly card game that will test your skills, smarts and speed.
It's the kind of game that makes your brain work really hard. But because you're having so much fun, you won't even notice. Perfect for parties and family game nights, Dutch Blitz® has been a favorite of card players for decades—and it's more popular today than ever.
We are proud of our U.S. Women's National Team!
When they're not dominating the field, our Women's National Soccer Team knows what it takes to have a vonderful goot time! We're cheering you on ladies! Go USA!!! #USWNT
Dutch Blitz® was the brainchild of Werner Ernst George Muller, a German immigrant and optometrist who thought the game might help his children more easily learn about colors and numbers.
We can't tell you whether or not Dutch Blitz accomplished that goal. All we know is that, somewhere along the line, Muller's game captured the imaginations of gamers throughout Eastern and Central Pennsylvania.
The game has since spread far and wide, and today, Dutch Blitz fans can be found in every corner of the world — find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) — and can be purchased at more than 200 different locations in 11 different countries.
Watch Video: How to PlayYes! You can buy the Blue Expansion Pack.
We have developed a limited edition of our Vonderful Goot Classic Green game that allows you to play with up to 8 players. Insane!
And, here's the thing. You can play with this Blue deck — just like Classic Green — with up to 4 players OR combine the two packs to play with 5, 6 , 7 or 8 players. Outta control!
So, what makes the Blue deck different? It's simply a reinvention of the Classic Green boxed game that you know and love, with the colors of the 4 decks' designs (carriage, bucket, pump and plow) switched to enable more players. Yes, it's that simple and that awesome.

Ask Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer Eric Burdon of The Animals and War fame who his favourite artists are and he doesn't hesitate: Calexico – the Tex-Mex group from Tucson, Arizona, and Canada's own Neil Young, the latter who is a long time musician pal.
"(Neil's) one of my favourite people in the music world," Burdon, 71, told QMI Agency in Toronto before his sole Canadian date at Casino Rama on Feb. 8.
"I used to hang at the same bar back in the '70s in L.A., haven't seen him since then. I love his work. I love the fact that he's been through hell physically (his 2005 brain aneurysm) and he's still standing. "
Burdon also gives a shout out to Canada on Invitation to the White House, a song off his well received new solo album, 'Til Your River Runs Dry, his first in six years.
Burdon sings: "We should make friends with Canadians, they've got more than snow, and there's a labour force waiting in the land of Mexico, just waiting to go."
"I'm amazed that America has two bookend neighbors and there doesn't seem to be that much communication and play between the two," explained Burdon.
"I mean we got a (drug) war going on with Mexico at the moment and Canada, you never hear anything…. You bring up the subject of U.S.-Canada relationship and it's like a bell without a tone in it. I don't know why. Why is it this way? It's difficult for me to be critical because I am U.S. citizen so I''m allowed to have free speech. That's what they tell me. But still you got to watch what you say but I try and push it as much as I can in terms of things that I observe."
But Burdon, born in Newcastle, England, but a longtime California resident, says his outspokenness has already gotten him in trouble in some parts of the U.S.
"Already, I"m getting feedback from Texas. 'When you come back here we're going to have to address this problem of the borders.' And I'm like, 'Wait a minute, I didn't say open the borders and let drug dealers come flushing through, they're already doing that.' I'm talking about a plan to help Mexico become a better place by making more money."

Date Posted: Friday, January 4th, 2013 Categories: Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) News
This week we launched a campaign to promote good health among Delawareans – called "31 Days to a Healthier You." It's about small steps we can all take that lead to big rewards for our health.
Every New Year, we collectively think about the healthier habits we can embrace and as we launch this campaign here at the Central YMCA in Wilmington, it's great to see so many people committed to the cause of good health.
Just like we promised smoke-free state properties and a more walkable, bikeable Delaware in the New Year, we're also committed to promoting health lifestyles and supporting your path to a healthier you.
It's not about starting a daily three-hour grueling workout, or signing up for fitness classes that you can't keep up with. It's about small, sustainable changes that will add up over time, like a healthier lunch or a switch from whole-milk to one-percent milk, or from a piece of candy to an apple, or making the effort to take a 15-minute walk every day.
It's about a healthier you. Our Health and Social Services Secretary and Public Health Director are working with us to help get us all motivated and moving, so we can move our state from a sick-care system to a true health care system. So, you'll start seeing messages on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media channels. We hope you'll do something for yourself and encourage others who don't think that they can do it to adapt a healthier change as we work together to live healthier, longer and better lives, keeping one another and Delaware moving forward.

And The People Who Caused It Couldn't Care Less: Another Bully-related Teen Suicide! Ho Hum.
"I wouldn't care if you died. No one would. So just do it It would make everyone WAY more happier!"
We'll hear from the sacred cows in just a few hours (this being written at 3:00AM EDT). We'll hear how THEY would have prevented Jamey Rodemeyer's death. His parents, however, think differently: they actually worked with the school to try and stop the bullying - to no avail. Saving Jamey was almost too dauntless a task for any one entity. It would have taken a whole community to stop the bullying, and an even greater number to shore up Jamey's self-esteem. The bullying was too relentless, and it took the form of unabashed lies:
This is a picture of Jamey Rodemeyer:
Perhaps the stark contrast coming from this situation is with those who absolutely refuse to have any gay sensitivity awareness or real anti-bullying presentations in schools because they think that their true purpose is "indoctrination."
From a pamphlet distributed by Family Research Council:
This pamphlet describes how pro-homosexual activists work their way up from seemingly innocent-sounding "safe schools" programs (which treat traditional values as being equivalent to racism), to one-sided "training" of teachers and students, to injecting homosexuality into every subject in the curriculum. Their final step is the active punishment of those who dare to express disapproval of homosexual behavior. This pamphlet will equip you to oppose this promotion of homosexuality in your child's school.
After reading this, it's no wonder that Tony Perkins of the FRC actually stated that his own group of "social conservatives" were not in any way responsible for teen suicides. Obliterating religion's role in suicides for the last thousand years was quite a feat ... of hysterical stupidity, but Perkins pulled it off effortlessly.
Bullying as a Traditional Value
Isn't it possible that in prohibiting teachers and administrators from teaching that "homosexuality is normal" that "traditional values" zealots just as forcefully send the message that bullying is "normal"? After all, bullies have been around for millennia ... just like marriage. The harm bullies do might be considered, in fact, totally inconsequential: young teens who might consider themselves gay certainly deserve the taunting they get, and who cares if they commit suicide? ALL gays are psychologically tortured because that's part of being gay! Bullies are just being normal boys. Girls are never bullies.
The disingenuous statement that "Of course, we're concerned about the welfare of ALL our children against bullying" will undoubtedly be bandied about this time, but this time it may seem utterly rancid: a larger effort to stop bullying in that particular school district (Jamey was not the first bully-suicide) could have at least diminished the efforts of the bullies, but through sheer thoughtlessness and lack of compassion, the bullying went unabated. This time, the school was not at fault as much as the community at large, a community perhaps fueled by righteousness: with a town that celebrates Old Home Days, it is perhaps steeped in genteel poverty (the per capita income hovers just above the poverty line) and its population of only 6,000 (97% white) supports a major Catholic church and five private Christian schools.
Looking back at it, Jamey never had a chance.
I just wanna say good bye, disappear with no one knowing
I don't wanna live this lie, smiling to the world unknowing
I dont want you to try, you've done enough to keep me going
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine for the very last time
Jamey Rodemeyer's life will be remembered by those who loved him:
Olivia Rinaldo, an eighth-grader at Heim Middle School, said she was drawn to his outwardly upbeat and extroverted personality. He made friends of the friendless, she said.
But his suicide will be discarded in memory by those bullies who just couldn't care less.

New Gaming Build, First Time Builder Alright guys, first time poster, and actually a first time builder. I found this site searching for benchmarks, saw a very thorough forum, thought I'd try my luck here. I'm looking to order/build my PC within the next 2-3 weeks. It will be used primarily for gaming. My budget is around $1500, possibly stretchable to $1700, but I really don't want to go over $1500 if I don't have to. Sound card isn't needed as I have one I bought a few years ago that'll still hold up today. DVD/CD Drive I was just considering using from a 6 year old PC as it's not a primary focus I have. I've been an Intel Fanboy for a while now, but keep hearing that if I want to futureproof this PC, to try and look into AMD. So for this topic, if you're going to recommend a AMD, would you be able to explain why? I've also been a nVidia fanboy for a while, but was told to look into the 5850. As of yet, I have found no reason to shift my focus onto the 5850 as it seems to drag it's feet alongside the GTX 470. As for everything else, no preference, just whatever does the job right. I really want to be able to run games like Crysis at or close to max settings. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out. GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 470 - (NCIX.com - Buy ASUS GeForce GTX 470 Fermi 607MHZ 1280MB 3348MHZ GDDR5 PCI-E 2XDVI HDMI Video Card - ENGTX470/2DI/1280MD5 In Canada.) CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz - (NCIX.com - Buy Intel Core i7 920 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.66GHZ Bloomfield 8MB 4.8GT/S - BX80601920 In Canada.) MOBO: Gigabyte X58A-UDR3 - (NCIX.com - Buy Gigabyte X58A-UD3R ATX LGA1366 X58 DDR3 4PCI-E SATA3 USB3.0 Sound GLAN CrossFireX SLI Motherboard - GA-X58A-UD3R In Canada.) MEMORY: Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3 - () HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM - (NCIX.com - Buy Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB 8.9MS 3.5IN NCQ Hard Drive OEM 3YR MFR Warranty - WD5000AAKS In Canada.) SOUND CARD: N/A DVD/CD: N/A POWER SUPPLY: Corsair TX850W - (NCIX.com - Buy Corsair TX850W 850W CMPSU-850TX 12V 70A 24PIN ATX Active PFC 140M Fan Power Supply - CMPSU-850TX In Canada.) CASE: Lancool PC-K56WB Mid Tower - (NCIX.com - Buy Lancool PC-K56WB ATX Advanced Mid Tower Case 5X5.25 4X3.5INT No PS USB Audio Window - PC-K56WB In Canada.) |
The only thing I'd change is to pick up a Caviar Black for a hard drive instead of a Blue. Your PSU might be overkill for now, but would be fine for a SLI configuration down the road. I'd suggest picking up an aftermarket heatsink/fan like this: NCIX.com - Buy Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus Direct Touch 4 Heatpipe Heatsink AM2 AM3 LGA1366 LGA775 LGA1156 120MM - RR-B10-212P-GP In Canada. to keep your CPU cooler, and give you some overclocking room if you want. Also, new DVD drives can be had for $20, worth it in my books rather than moving the old one. NCIX.com - Buy Samsung SH-S243D/BEBE 24X Black DVD Writer SATA OEM - SH-S243D/BEBE In Canada. |
+1 Might i just add that while that is a nice case you picked, you could always look into the Cooler Master 690 II. You don't need to go for this thou, as its your decision :thumb: |
well, besides getting one or 2 5870's in crossfire on an amd system(way less expensive) yours is not looking bad. good psu, overkill case is ok, id much prefer the 922 |
I've heard a few mention the PSU being overkill. What wattage would you recommend? I was just trying to take the precautionary step, lol. |
PSU is fine if you expect to SLI/crossfire. I'dd also get a 930 instead of the 920. It seems like you want to keep this rig for a long time so look at an evga card instead of Asus. (lifetime warranty.) Not in stock at NCIX right now but you can leave them a message or look elsewhere. As for the case, I have the very same case and it is nice, but for the build you want, you will want to look at something bigger. cable management in this one is fine for smaller builds I think. and that's the kind of case you WANT a modular PSU. Look and the HAF 922 or if you want to stay with a clean looking case, : NCIX.com - Buy Lancool PC-K62 Black ATX Advanced Mid Tower Case 5X5.25 4X3.5INT No PS USB Audio - PC-K62 In Canada. NCIX.com - Buy Intel Core i7 930 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.8GHZ 8MB L3 Cache 130W 45NM Retail Box - BX80601930 In Canada. Remember to price match and check weekly sales page! |
A 650w is plenty for this build as is. A 850w gives you the option for SLI down the road. And yes, I missed that you had a 920 in your list instead of the 930. The 920 is EOL, and the 930 can now be had for the same price. |
OK guys, I took into consideration some of the things you said, and this my build for now. Can someone review this once more for any incompatibilities? CASE: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UDR3 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 ATX HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 7200RPM 3.5" GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 470 SuperClocked 1280MB 320-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express MEMORY: CORSAIR XMS3 6GB 240-Pin DDR3 CPU: Intel Core i7-930 2.8GHz With taxes and shipping, as a rough price from newegg, it almost hits 1600. Slightly over my initial budget, but pretty damn good I'd say. Still need to shop around of course, making sure I find the lowest prices. I have a friend with an unused DVD/CD Drive he'd give me, so that's $20-$30 saved. Still looking for anyone who's got any suggestion on possible parts that'll save me money! |
Wow, dangtx, just... wow. Didn't expect a full post! Thanks! Going to look into those AMD's. Here's the argument I keep hearing though; AMD's don't ALWAYS offer the same power Intel does, but that they truly are future proof systems. As in, where as Intel is already introducing a new socket type this year, AMD backs their products for ages, so according to this statement, I can upgrade the CPU in a year or 2 without suffering incompatibilities. Doe this statement hold truth? Also, if I were to jump ships and go AMD now, would all my other parts still be compatible? |
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 09:07 PM. |

Kansas City Councilman Jermaine Reed revealed today he and some of his family were homeless when he was a teenager.
Reed made the disclosure during a committee meeting on the city's homeless problem.
He has spoken about his experience on a homeless shelter website as part of the fundraising effort. "it was back in '97 and '98," he recalled during the meeting
Reeds say he and his five brothers and his mother stayed at the Community LINC homeless shelter, near 40th & Troost, "until we got back on our feet."
His admission startled the Director of the Homeless Services Coalition, Vickie Riddle. " I wish you would have spoke to our dinner earlier this year", she told Reed. "You should have called me", said Reed.

No Lawson, no Calhoun, no problem! After a few minutes of getting "acquainted" with the opponents, both UNC and UConn managed to run by them and put them in their "place" as 16th seeds. Not much to say here, expect of course, waiting to find out what's the latest update on Lawson and whether he plays against LSU and if so, will that mean that he won't be able to play next week?
There were two exciting games however, Purdue was supposed to be having a comfortable slugfest win over Northern Iowa, but the purple uniforms managed to make the game interesting in the second half and give Matt Painter and crew an ulcer or two. But Purdue managed to hold on to the "W" and advance to the second round.
The other interesting game, a classic #7 vs #10 was the vindication of "The Gary". We are big fans of "The Gary", and apparently so is President O'bama. Maryland had a slight lead through the game, but in the last quarter the Terrapins were able to pull away, after Gary's defense was able to contain the #1 three-point shooting team in the country. You better watch it Roburt Sallie, you won't put 10 three-pointers on the Turtle!
Bay Area fans are no strangers to early exits by Mike Montgomerry, although this year's team over-achieved just by being in the conversation for the NCAA tourney, let alone actually being in it. So I'm sure Cal420 fans will forgive him this year.
This also sets up an interesting Memphis vs Maryland matchup. We hope it won't turn into the slugfest it was 2-3 years ago when the two teams met during the regular season.
Now in progress, Mississippi State vs Washington on CSTV (CBS College Sports)... Our next update will come after the third block of games finishes later today!

You have your order written up for the perfect kitchen. The appliances are beautifully designed, packed with great new features. They'll be delivered in a few days, and you're eagerly anticipating their arrival.
Your kitchen, however, needs to make room for all this new equipment. So, what should you do with your old appliances? Where can you recycle appliances in Chicago?
One option for disposing of working, unwanted appliances is to donate them to a charity or a donation center. There are multiple benefits to this choice: You'll be giving your old appliances to a good cause, they will stay out of the landfill, and you might even be able to write it off on your taxes the following year.
Goodwilll Stores, which has more than 85 locations across the Chicagoland area and southeastern Wisconsin, accepts small appliance drop-offs. Or, the Salvation Army will even pick up working appliances from your home. Visit http://satruck.org/donate-goods to schedule a pickup.
If donating isn't a viable option, never underestimate the market demand for still-working appliances. A quick posting on Craigslist.com or Kijiji.com (an eBay subsidiary) is totally free, and you'll likely find plenty of people willing to come get your old units. Keep in mind that these services are unregulated, so use them at your own discretion. ComEd will pay $50 for your working fridge or freezer, and pick-up is free.
Donation centers, and many others, won't accept non-working appliances, so if your old fridge has kicked the bucket, your best bet will likely be to recycle it. If removing the appliance is your concern, there are organizations and services that will pick up used appliances and will recycle them at their discretion.
The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation recommends that residents call the Recycling Information Center at 1-800-YES-1-CAN to recycle non-working appliances. If you're a suburban resident, contact your local waste management provider; depending on where you live, additional fees may apply.
An alternative option is a junk removal service like 1-800-GOT-JUNK (www.1800gotjunk.com), which will remove pretty much any appliance, and a lot of other frequently unwanted stuff, for a fee. The company says it recycles whatever it can.
Of course, most major appliance retailers around the Chicago area also provide a removal and recycling service.

South by Southwest, the annual marathon indie music festival, has hundreds of bands, and even more music fans, flocking to Austin next week.
For those without passes, you can still get a taste of the sounds of the festival thanks to a Brooklyn Vegan SXSW pre-party on March 15 at the Knitting Factory. The night features bands en route to Austin, with a European bent.
"Despite what music blogs lead you to believe (and the mass of people that will be there), not everybody goes to Austin in March," said the blog in a post announcing the local showcase, which is en route to SXSW itself, with several showcases planned during the festival.
Since the music doesn't start until March 17 at SXSW, both festival goers and those who will be getting their SXSW recaps from said music blogs can enjoy the pre-party. First on the night, it's Banjo or Freakout, the home-recording project of UK singer/songwriter Alessio Natalizia who's formed a band so he can bring his dream-pop sounds live (sorry, pickers, it's not really about banjos).
Another UK band takes to the stage next, The Wave Pictures, who have been rocking it for over a decade. If you like the Mountain Goats, they will be right up your alley, as they've collaborated with live and on record with the indie band.
On the eve of the release of their debut album on Merge for American release, Let's Wrestle, the third UK band on the bill, heads to SXSW this year, but not before stopping off in Brooklyn first. The band is not new year, having played a slew of CMJ shows this past fall, where they earned fans for their energetic live shows.
Now that you've warmed up, get ready for Casiokids. Known as the "Hot Chip" of Norway, the kids are another exuberant act, blending "old analogue, trashy keyboards and pop melodies." No album in the works yet, it seems, though they've kept listeners happy by releasing singles on Moshi Moshi Records. Unless you're fluent in Norwegian, you'll have to rely less on their lyrics and more on their beats. Dance music breaks all language barriers, anyway.
The last band on the bill, WhoMadeWho, comes via Denmark. The disco punk rockers sound like a synthier Queens of the Stone Age, and it's no surprise that that band's Josh Homme has covered WhoMadeWho live in his side-project, the Fififf Teeners. You'll know the band's hit the stage when two guys come out in skeleton suits. For real.
The night will cap things off with a DJ set from Bill Pearis.
So while this will only offer a .01 percent ofthe bonanza that is SXSW, you can get in on the fun here in Brooklyn. And hey, there's always next year.
Things kick off at 8 pm, with tickets $8. Knitting Factory is located at 361 Metropolitan Avenue. For more information, go to www.bk.kni
You can also get a taste of the Australian sounds at the festival thanks to the Aussie BBQ, a satellite showcase of bands from down under that are making their way to SXSW.
That comes to the Bell House on March 25, and will feature Beaches, Children Collide, City Riots, Crayon Fields, Goons of Doom, Love of Diagrams, Oh Mercy, Paul Dempsey, Sherlock's Daughter, and The Chevelles.
The show starts at 6 pm, with tickets $15. The Bell House is located at 149 7th St.

Mailbag: Good picks, bad picks, the stickiness of the transfer rule
Here is this week's mailbag. As always, send your questions to me via Twitter at BFeldmanCBS:
From @scohencopy: Melvin Ingram = Elvis Dumervil?
He's a little different than Dumervil but has a similar knack for getting into the backfield. Both are relentless, and you love that. Ingram's bigger, although his arm's aren't as long. Ingram did a lot of his damage on third downs when they lined him up inside and he just out-quicked and out-scrapped interior linemen. I wouldn't compare Ingram to Dwight Freeney either. He doesn't have quite the level of Freeney's explosiveness. Still, I like the pick a lot for the Chargers.
Best value picks of Day One: Steelers getting David DeCastro at #24; Patriots getting Don't'a Hightower at #25; Ingram at #18; Arizona getting Michael Floyd at #13, Dallas grabbing Mo Claiborne at #6 and the Colts getting Andrew Luck at #1 because the Stanford QB is a steal anywhere they could've gotten him.
From @wrmfzy: Who made the biggest mistake with their round 1 pick or trade?
I was surprised to see the Seahawks take Bruce Irvin as high as they did. He can be an impact guy because it is a passing league and he can make big plays, but he does have character concerns and he as much of a situational player as you're going to get on defense. Pete Carroll does have plenty of familiarity with Irvin after having tried to recruit him out of junior college to USC (Irvin's transcript didn't help the player's cause). Carroll wants his "Leo" edge rusher to be explosive, and like Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing were for him at USC, Irvin is, but is he is powerful and as focused? We'll see. Is Irvin a guy who, over the next five years will become a double-digit sack guy? He'd better be since he was such a high pick and he really won't give you anything else.
Other picks that I felt like went earlier than I thought they should've: Ryan Tanneyhill to the Dolphins at #8; Dontari Poe at #11 to KC and A.J. Jenkins to the 49ers at #30.
I know many people ripped the Browns taking Brandon Weeden late in Round One, but I'm not quite as skeptical. Weeden has a very good arm. No one in college threw a better fade. He's also very sharp.
I'm less concerned about his age than I would be with his shaky pocket presence but the latter is something that he has become considerably better at in the past year. As for the age factor, keep in mind, that Kurt Warner was 28 in his first full season as an NFL starter. Roger Staubach was 29. Joe Theismann was 27. Jake Delhomme was 28. It's not like he's a running back. QBs can, and often do, thrive in their 30s.
From @foreverseven: how long until a player sues NCAA in order to gain transfer and play right away, how can judge say no with coaches doing it?
It has already happened. Over 20 years ago, top Miami recruit Darren Krein sued the school to let him out of a scholarship he signed just before Jimmy Johnson left Florida. (The suit stalled. Krein went to UM and had a good career there.)
"In the cases I remember the court has given the NLI/NCAA great latitude with the "you sign with a school," and enforcing transfer rules," explains David Ridpath, an assistant professor of sports administration at Ohio University and the author of Tainted Glory: Marshall University, the NCAA, and One Man's Fight for Justice.
What we have seen in the past year is the power players now have that comes from the pressure put upon schools and coaches who block transfer options. Thanks to the Twitterverse, it didn't take all that long for PR messes to entangle Maryland's Randy Edsall, Tennessee's Derek Dooley or Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan, and eventually, after being called out, each school backed off and allowed their former players more options.
Coaches are realizing or at least they should how thorny these situations can become. You can bet other coaches are using these situations against them in recruiting too.
From @Montlakeend: What is your take on the Aaron Lynch transfer? Hope it works out, but considering NFL, academics, long term, hard to justify...
I think USF got itself a fantastic talent, the type of player who can be a three-and-out. The downside is of that three-and-out dynamic, the Bulls would only get to have him for one season. Still, that would be quite a boost even if he's only there for one year. At 6-6, 270, Lynch is a big, explosive "difference-maker". He should team with some of the talented young D-linemen in the Bulls program to give Skip Holtz' defense some real nastiness.
As far as the long-term aspect of the move, you have to say the guy needs to do what is best for him, and if he wasn't comfortable in South Bend at Notre Dame, and his heart was in it, and he wanted to be back in Florida, it was the right move. The opportunity of graduating from Notre Dame can be huge for anyone. It is a terrific university with a special network of opportunities. And that is beyond just working towards getting a great degree. Other football players have had doubts about staying at ND, and for a variety of reasons, stuck it out, and it seems like they are much better for it. The example of former ND lineman Chris Stewart comes immediately to mind.
I had this conversation with a friend who is a huge ND fan who reminded me that most of those guys didn't have the pro potential that Lynch does.
Going to USF, certainly wasn't a bad move for Jason Pierre-Paul. If Lynch's primary focus is getting to the NFL, then he needs to get where he is most comfortable. You can say that's a real short-sighted view on college, but the reality is, for probably most of the guys in major college football, the aim is in the NFL first and foremost. Of course, the odds aren't in their favor, but Lynch is a rare talent and everyone knows that.
Lynch's departure from ND was pretty messy, ranging from the tweets from his mom to Brian Kelly saying the DE "quit the football team" to how limited his options were moving forward.
Would Lynch have be better off if he'd ended up at Florida or FSU? Who knows? The key part of getting the release is that without it those other schools really can't pursue the transfer.
A few weeks back, Notre Dame announced that Lynch was transferring. Several schools in Lynch's home state of Florida were interested. The "Big Three" – Florida, FSU and Miami – all requested the release. As I, and Rivals reported, ND blocked some of Lynch's options. Brian Kelly told reporters in South Bend the following day that the school released Lynch to any program that showed interest. But I heard from multiple programs over the next few days that that was not the case. They'd contacted Notre Dame and never received the release and thus couldn't pursue Lynch. Some of them had heard that Lynch had been heavily leaning to USF so he could attend the same college as his girlfriend, but still would've liked the option to make their case.
From @HogeAndrew: What coaches, if any are on the hot seat in the PAC 12?
Oregon State's Mike Riley and Cal's Jeff Tedford are the two on the hot seat going into 2012. Both have had very good runs at their schools and have elevated the programs, but each has backslide of late quite a bit.
Over the past seasons, Cal is three under .500 in conference play. The Golden Bears have not finished in the top 25 in the AP poll once, which given some of the talent on their roster, it feels like they have become a chronic underachiever. Muddled this situation even more is the fact that Cal lost its ace recruiter Tosh Lupoi to Washington. Tedford's team needs a strong season, and he really needs to have a QB emerge in a hurry.
Riley's one of the most well-liked men in the profession, by both his peers and the media. Still, the Beavers are coming off consecutive duds, going 8-16 the past two years. If OSU doesn't get to the post-season in 2012, it's no stretch to think the school may be ready to push the re-set button.
From @Irishbk84: how come everyone bashes ND's schedule?
The only reason why I think some people may have bashed the Notre Dame 2012 schedule is out of habit. Anyone who takes a seriously look at what the Irish will face would have to admit it's a pretty rocky route.
The Irish face five teams that I think will be in the Top 20 this fall (Michigan, Michigan State, Stanford, Oklahoma and USC), and three of those--probably the toughest three—MSU, OU and USC are on the road. Beyond that they have BYU and Miami. BYU should be pretty strong. Miami is still rebuilding, but they have enough athletes to give anyone problems. When Miami might be your seventh-toughest game, you're playing a nasty schedule.
In all there are five games, where ND figures to be a sizable (more than a field goal) favorite: against Navy in Ireland; Purdue, Pitt, at BC and Wake Forest. But none of those opponents are FCS level teams. There are no true cakewalks. Not a single one.
From @elmachogabriel: How many player go in the first round from USC next year, I say five, barkley,woods,khalel,mcdonald,robey.
My guess at this point is four: Matt Barkley, Robert Woods, T.J. McDonald and Khaled Holmes and that is assuming that Woods would come out early. Holmes is solid and pretty athletic for a center but he does play a position that seldom produces first-rounders. Nickell Robey's a terrific little corner, but I suspect his height—about 5-feet-8--will keep him out of the first-round.

**Editor's Note: Click here to see which channel people were on the move from August through October.**
Wholesale carrier ANPI is re-energizing the business division it got in its December 2010 acquisition of competitor ZONE Telecom Inc. with new leaders and a new IP-based services set.
To that end, ANPI announced Tuesday that Ronald R. Bailey will lead the new Business Solutions Division as senior vice president and general manager. Bailey joined the company in May 2012 and was tasked with "reinventing" Zone's legacy enterprise business, which was primarily TDM-based long-distance and local resale.
Bailey is returning to ANPI after working for three years as vice president of sales for CenturyLink's Regional Markets Group in the Mountain and Midwest regions and prior to that for Qwest. His previous two-year tenure at ANPI was as vice president of business development and operations, when he architected the company's tandem access services. He also has held posts at Cypress Communications, Trinsic, MCI and GTE.
At ANPI Bailey is responsible for product development, operations and establishment of the indirect and direct channel management.
Bailey told Channel Partners that the company is launching its SIP trunking services in March and its Broadsoft-based hosted UC services, called ANPI VIP, in late second quarter or early third quarter. He added that ANPI will de-emphasize its TDM products, installing IADs to switch customers from PRIs to SIP trunks, without ripping and replacing their existing hardware.
Along with product development, Bailey has been busy assembling a team. Among them is Don Kinison, who joined in September 2012 as vice president of business sales, overseeing direct and indirect. Kinison's arrival also means that David Byrd, CMO, relinquished his oversight of the indirect channel. Kinison comes to ANPI after more than eight years with Cbeyond, most recently as its vice president. He also has worked for Time Warner Cable, Nebraska Communications and Western Wireless.
The company has also focused on filling out its channel management team. It has hired a director of channels, which it plans to announce at The Channel Partners Conference & Expo, Feb. 27-March 1 in Las Vegas. In addition, it has a new bench of channel managers — two each in the West, Central and East regions.
Kinison, who also runs direct sales, said the company's priority is to build the channel with direct sales as complement in those regions.
In October 2012, ANPI also hired a CTO/CIO in Ramprakash Narayanaswamy, formerly with 8x8. Byrd said one of his objectives is to assist customers and agents with online tools. The initial version of the agent portal will be launched in March with he SIP services and the full-featured version will rollout with the hosted products, Byrd said.

John Hickenlooper: The beer-flavored lesson for Colorado from Phantom Canyon Brewing Co.
Beer was flowing (figuratively, at least) when John Hickenlooper offered his first address to the Colorado Legislature yesterday and told the story of a brewpub. Not the Denver-centric story of the Wynkoop Brewing Co., the iconic LoDo spot, but a venture that grew out of that project: the Phantom Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs.
Like the Wynkoop, Phantom involved the renovation of a historic building. Unlike the Wynkoop, it happened in a city that is far from a Democratic stronghold. Here's the beery, bipartisan story Hickenlooper spilled:
Almost twenty years ago to the day, a person who knew that I loved old buildings coaxed me down seventy miles south of here to look at the only registered historical landmark in downtown Colorado Springs.
It was scheduled for demolition.
I bought that building from the bank, but despite previous successes in Denver and Fort Collins, I could not attract investors to save the old Cheyenne Hotel.
After almost two years of work, when the bank was on the verge of repossessing the building, our general contractor, the man -- the legend -- Chuck Murphy, saw another approach.
He called a meeting of all the subcontractors who had bid on the project -- the electrician, the plumber, the sprinkler guy, all of the others -- to come listen to the same pitch I'd been giving to wealthy investors.
Despite my skepticism that small businesspeople would accept such risk, they put their money down. We raised the last $150,000 from the subcontractors. They become my partners.
From that point on, everything was different.
I'll never forget when the electrician came and was concerned about lighting in the bar. He suggested that we replace the deluxe fan system in our plans with an equally durable fan that also featured lights.
I asked what the extra cost was going to be, and he said, "I'm your partner, why would I add an extra cost?"
That's how we built the Phantom Canyon Brewing Co.
The stakes are a lot bigger now, but I'm here today to ask you to become our partners in transforming Colorado...
By focusing on Phantom rather than the Wynkoop, Hickenlooper made good on his promise to pour his energy into the entire state, not just metro Denver. And today he'll start a three-day tour of the state, touting economic development.
And beer.

A new study finds that using calcium-channel blocking blood pressure drugs could raise your risk for breast cancer.
The research, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, says that using the calcium-channel blockers such as Norvasc for more than a decade increases a woman's risk for developing breast cancer. It ups the risk 2.5 times, to be exact. Other blood pressure treatments used for a long period of time did not pose similar risks, the authors said.
The study is the first one to demonstrate that long-term use of the medications is linked to a higher breast cancer risk. According to Christopher Li, the lead author, more research is needed to better understand the association.
"While this is an intriguing finding, much more work still needs to be done," said Li. "While we appreciate that these results may cause concern for women currently using these medications, we do not think that they should change current clinical practice because they require confirmation and because of the importance of managing hypertension effectively."
Just how popular are these types of medications? In 2010, 98 million out of the 678 million blood pressure prescriptions were for calcium-channel blockers.
"If this finding is replicated, then there needs to be a serious discussion about long-term use of calcium-channel blockers," said Patricia Coogan, a research professor at the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University, who wrote an editorial on the study.
Norvasc, which is made by Pfizer, is available as a generic prescription in the U.S.
In related news, a new study finds that those who monitor their blood pressure on their own had lower numbers than those who do not.

An as-yet unidentified network event caused BIND 9 resolvers to cache an invalid record, subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion failure. ISC is working on determining the ultimate cause by which a record with this particular inconsistency is cached.At this time we are making available a patch which makes named recover gracefully from the inconsistency, preventing the abnormal exit. The patch has two components. When a client query is handled, the code which processes the response to the client has to ask the cache for the records for the name that is being queried. The first component of the patch prevents the cache from returning the inconsistent data. The second component prevents named from crashing if it detects that it has been given an inconsistent answer of this nature.
Update as of 5 December: Having completed our analysis of the data submitted by those who experienced the crash, ISC has identified how and why this event occurred.
We have confirmed that it was triggered by an accidental operational error that exposed a previously unknown bug in BIND, causing an internal inconsistency which is effectively prevented by the mitigation patches we have produced and distributed.
While the original trigger for this incident no longer exists, it is very possible that the same set of circumstances could be made to recur deliberately rather than accidentally. Therefore, ISC strongly recommends that those running vulnerable servers continue to update to a patched release of BIND.

The best solution is to upgrade. Upgrade BIND to one of the following patched versions: BIND 9.8.1-P1, 9.7.4-P1, 9.6-ESV-R5-P1, 9.4-ESV-R5-P1
5 December Update: For customers who are unable to migrate immediately to a patched version of BIND, there is now a mitigation strategy available. ISC continues to strongly recommend installing a patched version as the safest course of action, but if circumstances prevent you from doing so you can still reduce or eliminate your exposure to the CVE-2011-4313 vulnerability with a configuration option addition to named.conf.

Android gets jailbroken
A work in progress
We're not sure if this is as important as the jailbreak for the iPhone, but Andriod is now jailbroken and developers now have full system access. Although the G1 handset has far less limitations than the iPhone, we'll have to wait and see how big of a deal this really is.
The jailbreak was done thanks to a telnet application called PTerminal which allows you to telnet into the G1, and as such get access to the command line interface of the G1. As of right now, this doesn't mean a whole lot, but then again, this was the case with the iPhone, as well, during the early stages of it being jailbroken.
If nothing else, this might lead to a free application for unlocking the G1, unlike the current way which is being charged for either by the network or by a Website who offers to unlock your G1 for you. As for any other developments, well, we're just going to have to wait and see what the community comes up with, but anything is possible in the long term.

Editors' Review
Although this PDF-conversion tool handles its main job, a troublesome installation and a stingy trial restriction keep our enthusiasm at half-mast. PDF2all can convert document types such as Word, Excel, and Access into PDFs, and it also can convert PDFs into several popular image formats. However, to work properly, you'll need to have both GhostScript and PostScript on your machine. PDF2all's installation does not include these applications, so you'll have to go to the developer site to obtain them. We wish the publisher would at least notify you of this fact before you try to convert files and get an error message. Still, once we slogged through the process of installing the extra programs, PDF2all demonstrated quick and accurate results. You'll also find tools for cropping and watermarking PDFs, but since you only can use the demo a scant nine times, you may not get around to testing these features. All told, this program would make a more compelling option if the installation process required less user interaction.

SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY...: It was a night for the stars plus one last night - Ash shared the stage with Brian Robertson out of Thin Lizzy for a performance of The Boys Are Back In Town in Islington (although we can't think of any place less suited to 'the Boys are back' - "if the boys wanna discuss the new threshold for inheritance tax and its likely effect on house prices, you'd better let them?"); meanwhile, Jack White clambered onstage with Bob Dylan. They did one of White's tracks. It's not clear if this was negotiated or if Jack threatened to beat the crap out of Dylan if they didn't do it his way.

George McPhee is excited to draft or something. (Photo credit: Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
On Sunday, the NHL Draft will be held in Newark, New Jersey. Yesterday, I looked at the trade value of the Caps first-round pick (23rd overall) and why it could be smart to trade down from their current position. Today, I present the players the Caps could select if they decide to use the first-round pick in this extremely deep draft.
The Washington Capitals have been reluctant to move their first round picks in recent years. Sometimes they've entered the draft with more than one first round pick: last year and 2004, when the Caps had three: Alex Ovechkin, Jeff Schultz, and Mike Green. In most cases, holding on to those picks is the smart move – 80% of players picked in the first round between 2000 and 2011 have played at least one NHL game. For comparison's sake, only 49% of the second round picks ever suit up in the NHL. The only time the Caps haven't had a first round pick recently was in 2011, when they traded away the 26th pick to cap-saddled Chicago in exchange for Troy Brouwer.
"We didn't like where the [2011 Draft] was going and we had an opportunity to use our pick to get Brouwer, and it turned out to be a heck of a move for us," Capitals GM George McPhee said Monday at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. "He's a guy we all liked." He also added that the trade was an example of a "good working relationship" between the team's pro and amateur scouts.
This year, it might be smart for the Capitals to trade away the 23rd pick.

Hudson Fasching, a prospect projected to be selected in the second round of the NHL draft, has a remarkable family. His two younger siblings, Cooper and Mallory, have a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial disorder; their brains and muscles don't receive the energy they need to operate properly.
"I just am very grateful for what I have," Fasching told NHL.com in April. "I feel like I'm very lucky. It was a statistical thing, a one-in-four chance that they would contract the disease or the genes ended up the way they have. I'm just really lucky that I have all the gifts I've been given as a person, and I work that much harder every day to work for them because they can't do that."

In Norway, NHLers are few and far between. Unlike neighboring Denmark and Germany (let alone Sweden), Norway hasn't established itself as a producer of elite hockey talent. As of right now, only 18 Norwegians have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft, only seven have played in an NHL game, and just one is currently a part of a big-league roster: the Rangers' Mats Zuccarello.
Hockey fans from Norway sure hope some of their fellow countrymen will be selected in the upcoming draft and one of the names they're waiting to be called in Newark in late June will sound familiar for the Caps fans: Markus Soberg.

After trading their second round pick and Cody Eakin to the Dallas Stars in exchange for center Mike Riberio, Washington did not move any of their other ten picks in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. In the first round, they acquired talented winger Filip Forsberg and rough-and-tumble power forward Tom Wilson; through the next six rounds, they would go on to acquire four US players, a Canadian player, a Swedish player, and a Russian.
Notably, the Caps selected three players from the U.S. developmental team, and one player recently of the U.S. developmental team. "I asked [the scouts] 'What are we doing here?" said McPhee about this trend. "Are we drafting the whole team?'"
"We made a lot of picks today," McPhee said of the second day overall. "I don't know those kids very well. […] It's nice to sort of restock this year, and we'll see how they are in a couple of years."

About a half an hour after the Capitals selected Filip Forsberg at number 11, they had several sexy options at number 16. Two talented Finns were still available in Tuomo Teravainen and Olli Maatta, while PK Subban's brother Malcolm was also still without a team.
Instead the Caps went a little off the board (THN #25) and drafted six-foot, four-inch right-wing Thomas Wilson.

As the number 11 pick drew near, it seemed as if George McPhee would get a steal regardless of who he took. Both Mikhail Grigorenko and Filip Forsberg, rated as top five talents heading into the draft, had been passed over by the first ten teams.
When McPhee went up to the podium, he shook off some boos and selected the 17-year-old Swede. Welcome to Washington, Filip Forsberg.

Before General Manager George McPhee even had the chance to select Filip Forsberg with the 11th overall pick of the 2012 NHL Draft, he was met by a loud round of boos by Pittsburgh Penguins fans. Fortunately, a noticeably irritated GMGM brought the sass, and unleashed his fury on the crowd.

With the 16th selection in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Washington Capitals selected Tom Wilson of the Plymouth Whalers. Wilson is a right winger and projects to be a rugged power forward who hits hard and plays rough. Wilson is 6'4 and more physically developed than most players of his age, and is an excellent open-ice checker, winning the OHL award for best body checker last year. The Capitals will select next in the third round.

With the 11th selection in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Washington Capitals selected Filip Forsberg of the Leksands IF in the Swedish ice hockey league Allsvenskan. Forsberg is a winger and projects to be an outstanding offensive player. He was rated the top European skater and had been projected to go 3rd overall. In three years with Leksands, Forsberg has scored 30 goals and notched 58 points, as well as being a dominant player in this year's World Juniors tournament. The Capitals will now select again at pick #16.

I am happily leafing through the current Entertainment Weekly this morning, enjoying one of my favorite pop cultural fixes, and I come across a cross-page ad for an upcoming television show on NBC: Playboy Club. That's right. It's set in a Playboy Club in the 1960s, to reap some of that Mad Men resonance--the clothes, the sexual politics, the music, the smoking, and the drinking. And the women in the corseted, crotch-cutting, chest-displaying outfits, complete with painfully high heels and the serving procedure known as the "Bunny dip": crouch without bending your back, holding your drink tray perfectly level at shoulder height. Because we couldn't do this at a dance club like Whiskey à GoGo or someplace where the culture was changing, like the Greenwich Village or San Francisco nightclubs. No, we have to have it be the Playboy Clubs where we can show women put on display like products in your grocer's dairy case in every episode as background, with men freely given permission to ogle and grope them and treat them like fecal matter because, hey, that was the time. The producer claims it's about female empowerment and women using their position to get what they want. A spot on the board, asshat? A job as CEO or CFO? How about second vice president at a bank? What about head chef at a pricey restaurant, or producer/director of a movie? (Hey, wait--we can hardly get a lot of those jobs now.) And what happens to them when they get wrinkles, or start to sag, or gain weight, or get pregnant, or develop minds of their own? How do their bodies get them what they want then? Or even now?
ABC, at the same time, is offering us Pan Am, focusing on "stewardesses and pilots and their glamorous world". (Keep scrolling down in the article for the other shows mentioned in this post.)
I thought I was through with this crap after the publication of COFFEE, TEA, OR ME? and Gloria Steinem's blistering series of articles on how demeaning a Bunny's life really is. I thought feminism would clear this garbage off televisions when All in the Family's Edith Bunker finally rose up and told Archie what he could do with his racism and sexism and moved out, when divorced women were portrayed as workers and parents rather than "easy," and when women headlined dramas rather than only home how-to shows and pre-school kids' TV.
But wait! There's more!
ABC also has Good Christian Bitches!--glamorous backbiting women à la Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girls, and Pretty Little Liars--and Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23.
To all of you who told me that I was wrong (when I said that using the b-word just tells people it's okay to use this term that trashes women), and that you were using the b-word to reclaim it for women, I hope you're happy. Because now cheap TV producers think it's a cool word to use on national television to mean nasty women.
Oh, yes. And they're re-booting Charlie's Angels. Again. Because women can't kick butt without a man to tell them to do it. I'm reserving judgment on the program about two guys who think the only way to get ahead is to dress up as women. Transfolk gotta eat, too, even if cisjerks snicker at it.
I am so angry I cannot see straight. Don't tell me I'm getting excited over nothing. This tide of egregious disrespect has been creeping up, and creeping up. Now, as they try to take our reproductive rights away, and we discover that rape numbers in the civilian and military population are under-reported (the FBI numbers don't include statutory and date rape, 60% of the population doesn't report it at all, and in the military it's 80% that doesn't report), our mass media tells us that we are here for sex. Women are shown in the media as sexual objects, as pieces of meat there to display desirable things like cars, watches, drinks, and a suit on a man.
Now the women who ruin their backs and feet running up and down airplane aisles and the women who were penalized for a two-pound gain are being shown off once more as the living equivalent of sex toys, which makes all of us sex toys. We're all of us bitches, because our media culture tells us so.

(GES) said Wednesday after the markets closed that its third quarter profit fell 45% from last year, hurt by lower revenue and weaker margins.The company's quarterly earnings per share also came in below analysts' expectations. At the same time, the company gave a downbeat earnings forecast for the fourth quarter and once again cut its full year earnings outlook.Paul Marciano, Guess? Chief Executive Officer, said, "Third quarter earnings were consistent with our guidance but fell short of our operational goals, as economic pressures impacted consumer confidence in most of our markets." The company also said that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The board has also approved a special cash dividend of $1.20 per share to be paid with the regular quarterly dividend. The combined dividends will be payable on December 28 to shareholders of record on December 12.Guess shares are currently gaining 5.15% in after hours trading after closing the day's regular trading session at $25.25, up $1.29 or 5.38%. The shares trade in a 52-week range of $22.48 to $37.15.Guess? offers collections of denim and cotton clothing, including jeans, pants, overalls, skirts, dresses, shorts, blouses, shirts, jackets, and knitwear.The company's retail stores in North America generated third quarter revenue of $262.1 million, down 1.3% from a year ago. Same-store sales for the quarter fell 6%. At the end of the third quarter, the company directly operated 513 retail stores in the U.S. and Canada, compared to 495 stores a year earlier.Third quarter revenue from the company's North American wholesale segment increased 1% to $57.9 million. The company's Europe revenue for the quarter fell 8.3% from a year earlier, while its Asia revenue surged 15.5% from last year. Licensing revenue for the quarter declined 7.6% from last year.Gross margin for the quarter narrowed to 39.4% from 42.9% a year ago.Operating margin for the quarter shrank to 9.1% from 15.4% last year, mainly reflecting the impact of higher occupancy and selling costs in Europe due to retail expansion, negative same store sales on the company's fixed cost structure and increased investments in advertising.In addition, product margins were lower, mainly driven by promotions in North America and the effect of pricing parity changes in Canada. For the third quarter ended October 27, 2012, the Los Angeles, California-based company reported net income of $36.6 million or $0.43 per share, compared to $66.3 million or $0.71 per share for the year-ago quarter.On average, 13 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to earn $0.44 per share for the third quarter. Total net revenue for the second quarter fell 2.2% to $628.83 million from $642.80 million in the same quarter last year. Eleven analysts had a consensus revenue estimate of $624.54 million for the third quarter.Looking forward to the fourth quarter, the company forecast net revenues of $780 million to $800 million and earnings of $0.85 to $0.95 per share. Analysts currently expect the company to earn $0.95 per share on revenue of $789.17 million for the fourth quarter.For the fiscal year ending February 2, 2013, the company now forecasts net revenues of $2.62 billion to $2.64 billion and earnings of $2.05 to $2.15 per share. Previously, the company forecast net revenues of $2.62 billion to $2.65 billion and earnings of $2.15 to $2.30 per share. Analysts currently expect the company to earn $2.16 per share on revenue of $2.63 billion for the fiscal year 2013. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News Clunkers and Blockbusters: The 10 Most Expensive Movies in history Biotech Stocks Facing FDA Decision In April Top Ten Female CEOs Crack The Glass Ceiling

Topic: Hydrophilization through plasma activation. Plasma hydrophilization.
Optimal functionality for fishing lines, thanks to hydrophilisation achieved with plasma pre-treatment
is admittedly a relatively minor use, but it
is nonetheless a good example of the impact of surface tension when
two media meet. Fishing line that is not pretreated will always float
on the surface of the water, where it causes refraction and is
visible to fish.
This can be explained by the spreading of a drop of water on a polymer surface. The hydrophilisation achieved by Openair® plasma treatment increases surface tension on the line to > 72 mN. Wettability improves and water spreads out across the surface. As a result, the fishing line drops below the surface of the water and is almost invisible. Then it's just a matter of time until the fish bite...

This recipe yields 2 regular-size loaves or 5 mini-loaves. When we tested the smaller loaves (which innkeeper Debby Hayden prefers), we used disposable 6- x 3- x 2-inch loaf pans—sometimes called baby loaf pans—and baked the bread for about 45 minutes instead of 1 hour.
- Yield
- Makes 2 loaves
- 2 large lemons
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter and flour two 9- x 5- x 3-inch metal loaf pans, knocking out any excess flour.
- Finely grate enough zest from lemons to measure 2' teaspoons and squeeze enough juice to measure about 1/2 cup. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter, 2 cups sugar, and zest until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. With mixer on low speed add flour mixture and milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating just until batter is combined well. Beat in poppy seeds and 1 tablespoon lemon juice and divide batter between loaf pans, smoothing tops. Bake loaves in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour.
- While loaves are baking, in a small bowl stir together remaining lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved.
- Cool loaves in pans on a rack 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of pans and invert loaves onto rack. Turn loaves right side up and pierce tops all over with a thin skewer. Repeatedly brush lemon glaze over tops of loaves until all of glaze is absorbed.
- Cool loaves completely. Tea bread keeps, wrapped in wax paper, in an airtight container at room temperature 4 days or, wrapped in foil and frozen, 1 month.

« back to Designing Woodworking Projects forum
Forum topic by richardwootton | posted 10-23-2013 09:35 PM | 1253 views | 0 times favorited | 16 replies |
I have finally started in on my work bench build, and decided to go the cheap route and use construction grade "whitewood" aka SPF (Spruce, Pine, Fir) for the build. I have ripped the rounded edges off, laminated the first portion for the top, which comes out to about sixteen inches wide, and doesn't include some extra width plus the dog hole strip and area for a wagon vise. That should bring my top to about 22" wide, and after flattening, just under 3" thick. Here's where the problem comes into play. This stuff is RIDICULOUSLY soft, it feels like friggin' Balsa wood. Then I stumbled across a guy selling TONS of true 4×4 8'6" Oak posts (and some Hickory that I'll pass on) for about 12 bucks a piece! That's about $1.05 per board foot. My question is, should I go buy the oak and start a new bench build, since I'm not very far into the current build? Or, go buy the oak, stack it up and use it for something else and keep on with my current bench build? Perhaps somewhere in between, build two benches and use the one with construction materials for and assembly, or joinery bench? What would the wise LJer do? -- Richard, Hot Springs, Ar -- Galoot In Training |

I would buy the oak. It will make a bench top that will stand the test of time and you can always use the pine for building clamp racks or any of the many storage solutions needed in a wood shop. By the way $1.05 a bd ft is a great price, go for it. Just consider the pine a practice run. |

I started out even cheaper with a solid core exterior door from habitat. I used it for about a year testing size and uses. mine is more of an assembly table than lj "workbench". i found a laminted oak (I think) slab 1 3/4" thick that probably was some kind of floor for a trailer (tractor) and replaced the original. I have since cut up some of the original to use as mobile platforms for different stuff so not wasted. I think building shop furniture is something most of us do in stages. Gives us a frame of reference for the next step. It's all a journey anyway. Whatever you build for today will need to be replaced later – after you drill it by mistake, glue and/or finish it by mistake, drive a screw into it by mistake, move into a different shop configuration, etc. |
#3 posted 10-23-2013 10:11 PM |
Richard, I don't think you have a conundrum, I think you have an opportunity to make a major improvement in your original design. If I were you, I would get the oak and build the top from that. I imagine you would be peeved down the road at having such a soft top that got tore up pretty easily and wishing you had picked up the oak you found for a helluva good price. Go for it and be sure to post pictures of your new bench. -- Mike |

Use the oak! The soft whitewood will allow stuff to get embedded in it and mark up your work. dog holes will stretch on the top. Dogs and cats living together oops. I'm building mine from red oak for durability and most benches I've seen have been hardwood. You'll be much happier in the long run. -- "With every tool obtained, there is another that is needed" DonW ( Kevin ) |

I'll agree, as I actually tried to make a version of the milkmans workbench out of soft pine. The dog holes just don't work in soft wood…they get bigger every time you use them. I scrapped it. -- I'm strictly hand-tool only...unless the power tool is faster and easier! |

Oak. I think in the end you'll be happier with the performance of it. I will almost promise you will have "buyers remorse" with the pine. -- Do or do not...there is no try - Master Yoda |

Maybe its been mentioned- but you could buy enough Oak for the top, and use the SPF for the base?? |

I would make sure that the posts weren't cut from the pith, otherwise they will check like crazy and warp pretty bad. You can always use the pine top as a general workbench. |

Sounds like you're asking us to validate the decision you've already made. :) Get the oak, you'll be happier in the long run. And in the more immediate future too, I imagine. -- Brian Timmons - http://www.BigTWoodworks.com |

Thanks for all the responses folks. I'll be picking up 10 or 12 of them on Sunday. I'll post a picture once I get them home. One good thing about having the soft pine top is that I now have a large, dead flat surface to work on. I'm going to add some stretchers between the two beefy saw horses it's currently sitting on and have that be my bench building bench. -- Richard, Hot Springs, Ar -- Galoot In Training |

Get the oak, build the pine one first. Figure out all the mistakes you made with the pine one – then build the oak one. keep the pine one for assemble and paint work. -- David in Damascus, MD |
