Citation: Schober, T.J. 2009. Manufacture of Gluten-free Specialty Breads and Confectionery Products. In: Gluten-Free Food Science and Technology. Gallagher, E. editor. Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, NJ p. 130–180. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: People suffering from celiac disease, wheat allergies or wheat intolerances require breads not containing any wheat or related cereals like rye and barley. The manufacture of these so-called gluten-free breads is not well understood and much less literature is available than on wheat breads. On the other hand, a growing market for gluten-free breads can be expected, as diagnostic tools improve and more people are aware of having celiac disease or other conditions requiring a wheat-free diet. This bookchapter explains the theoretical and practical aspects of the production of gluten-free breads, and also cakes and biscuits. Formulations for breads from isolated starches, and from sorghum, rice, maize flours and flour mixtures are presented and the underlying physicochemical principles explained. Literature from five decades is interpreted and supplemented with the author's own experiments, addressing classical and novel approaches. The chapter provides in depth explanations for students and scientists with a strong theoretical interest, as well as short summaries of the most relevant facts for applied people with a more practical background. Summarizing these details in a bookchapter helps to spread knowledge on gluten-free bread production and can therefore contribute to improved quality of commercial gluten-free breads available to Americans and people worldwide, and to new markets for agricultural products from the U.S. like food-grade sorghum.

George Jones Talks New Music, Movie Plans
Following in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers and Montgomery Gentry, George Jones has struck a deal with Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores. 'A Collection of My Best Recollection' will feature 12 of the Possum's best loved hits, including 'White Lightning,' 'Finally Friday' and the award-winning 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' as well as two previously unreleased tracks — 'I'm a Long Gone Daddy' and 'I Don't Want to Know.' The CD is available exclusively at all Cracker Barrel locations.
"They've been a big, big asset for country music and it's getting bigger everyday," George tells The Boot. "They've sold so many records of Dolly's, it showed up No. 9 on the regular charts, and there's nothing that radio can do about that. It's a wonderful thing to see your name pop up in the charts again."
George is excited about fans hearing the two never-before-released tracks. "We rocked up a little bit on a version of 'I'm a Long Gone Daddy' by the late Hank Williams Sr., and I mean it is rockin!'" the music icon says with a smile.
George's wife Nancy describes 'I Don't Want to Know' as "a real tearjerker." Adds George, "It's one of those pretty melody songs that you'll love to listen to."
Both songs were produced by Buddy Cannon, well-known for his work with Kenny Chesney. 'I Don't Want to Know' is George's favorite song on the album. "They never released it because they thought it was 'too country,'" George says of recording it for a previous record company, "but since Cracker Barrel's happy to satisfy the cravings of real country music fans, we're putting it on this record."
The release of 'A Collection of My Best Recollection' coincides with Cracker Barrel's 40th anniversary this year. Look for George to be promoting the release on several national television shows including 'Crook & Chase' (Sept. 3), 'The Late Show with David Letterman' (Sept. 9), 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' (Sept. 11) and 'Huckabee' (Sept. 12).
In other news, Nancy reveals they've been working with a writer on a movie about George's life and are in talks with two companies about making the film. So just who would portray the Possum and his wife? "Johnny Depp would be good," Nancy says, suggesting an actor to play George. "Wynonna's sister, Ashley Judd, she could play me."
"Whoever we get, I want them to be on the road with us and see how you act," George says, looking at his wife of 27 years with a big grin. "Lee Ann Womack could be Tammy. That would be cool."

Hanel Lumber Company has been sold, but the new owner is not yet ready to reveal what the future holds for the historic mill.
"We are evaluating options for the mill, however, at this time we have no immediate plans," said Brad Wilkins, president and part-owner of High Cascade International Corp.
The Home Valley, Wash., veneer plant is located less than 20 miles downriver from Hood River, and was the sole bidder in a Seattle federal court for the Hood River holdings of the bankrupt Quality Veneer and Lumber.
The company offered just $1 more than the $2.5 million minimum price and was awarded the property on July 27.
When the deal closes in mid-August, High Cascade will add the Odell mill to its inventory that also includes the Wilkins, Kaiser and Olson (WKO), Inc., lumber company in Carson, Wash., and the former Stevenson Co-Ply.
Although High Cascade has not yet unveiled future plans for Hanel, local officials are optimistic that the recent sale of six separate county timber sales to WKO is a good omen.
During June and July, the company recently paid about $1.8 million for an estimated 4.6 million board feet of lumber and is expected to begin harvest on those parcels in the near future.
"We are committed to working with the new buyer to come up with an arrangement that will make the mill more economically viable for them," said John Arens, chair of the Hood River County Commission.
He said the county is willing to negotiate on several options that will increase the efficiency of the mill and put its 130 laid-off employees back to work.
These include contracting with WKO to custom cut at least some of the county's 9.5 million board feet of timber and seeking out state and federal funding to set up high-tech training programs for the local labor market.
The sale brings to near-closure a 10-month saga of economic uncertainy at the historic lumber operation.
On Sept. 25, 2000, the operations at Hanel were shut down abruptly and the personnel left without employment.
Four days later QVL, a firm based in Seattle, filed for bankruptcy, just two years after purchasing the Odell plant during another bankruptcy action involving Hood Lumber Company.

Welcome to Hickory Flat Pottery. I am Cindy Angliss and I have been a potter for about 30 years.
This is a working pottery studio.
When you visit, you will see myself or my resident potter creating pots daily. We produce decorative functional stoneware that is oven, dishwasher, and microwave safe and meant to be used.
Hickory Flat Pottery is located in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains, close to Lake Burton and Helen, on Georgia's Historic Scenic Highway 197.
The Pottery Studio and Gallery are housed in the historic 112 year old Wikle homestead. It has a history and personality all its own as do I, and chances are if you come back again and again you will find out about both.
In the Gallery connected to the pottery studio, you will find the work of over 20 other artists including pottery, jewelry, glass, copper and metal art, fiber and wood.
My pottery is lead-free, oven, dishwasher, and microwave safe.
Always place room temperature foods in your pots before placing pottery in a cold oven. Raise oven temperature gradually to not more than 400 degrees. Never place a hot pot on a cold counter. Care should be taken with large platters, which are more susceptible to thermal shock. With care, your pottery should last a lifetime. Enjoy!
Hickory Flat Pottery is open year round:
March 15- December 21

So i just got a turboxs rfl bov, yes flame one haha. I love it though, i love the looks i get especially from the old people who drive next to me. Back to the point, so i put it on and it ran fine for a while. It started to make this whinny ass noise almost like a supercharger whine. So i took it off and ends up that i blew my gasket between the intercooler and BPV. Thats not what im looking for though, I am looking for the BOLTS that connect the BPV to the intercooler part number. I have tried to find it online with no luck.
The teeth? on the one on the left are a little worn at the top and it wont screw in all the way, thus the leak/blown gasket. I already ordered a new gasket mine was 130k miles old and rusty, but i need that damn bolt! Thanks for the help in advance

Market slump takes toll on China rich list
By Fang Yan
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Many of China's richest people grew a bit poorer this year as stock and property markets tumbled, but the country's wealthy are riding out the downturn better than many of their foreign counterparts, a survey showed on Tuesday.
Real estate heiress Yang Huiyan, 27, saw her estimated fortune shrink to $4.9 billion from $17.5 billion as the market value of her stake in property developer Country Garden Holdings Co plunged, according to the latest annual Hurun Report, which ranked the country's 1,000 richest people.
That pushed Yang, who ranked as China's richest person last year, down to number three, said the report, compiled by researcher Rupert Hoogewerf.
Xu Rongmao, owner of Shimao Property Holdings Ltd, sank to number nine from third place last year, with his estimated wealth dwindling to $3.1 billion from $7.5 billion.
China's benchmark stock index has fallen about 65 percent from its peak last October and property prices in major Chinese cities have eased with a slowing economy.
But Hoogewerf said China's super-rich were holding up much better than those in the West.
"Chinese are cash-rich relative to certainly Europe and America," he told Reuters on the sidelines of an event to unveil China's rich list for 2008. "We still have 101 billionaires, only five fewer than last year."
Huang Guangyu, who founded GOME Electrical Appliances Holdings and owns unlisted property businesses, topped the list this year for the third time in five years with an estimated fortune of $6.3 billion. Continued...

First Direct has topped a satisfaction survey of current account customers for the third year in a row, while Bank of Scotland was named the worst performer.
MoneySavingExpert.com warned that its findings indicate several high street giants still need to raise their game as new rules are about to come in which will make it much easier for their customers to ditch their existing bank.
Fewer than half of current account customers with Barclays, NatWest/RBS, Lloyds TSB, HSBC and Bank of Scotland said they got a great service from their bank.
The consumer help website, which compiled its research from the opinions of more than 8,000 current account customers, also found that Santander and Halifax had made some strong improvements in recent months.
The findings come just weeks before new rules to take the hassle out of switching current accounts come into force. They are expected to inject more competition into the market.
Providers often use the relationship they have with their current account customer to sell them other products such as mortgages or credit cards. From September 16, the time it takes to switch a current account will be cut from up to 30 working days to seven and incoming and outgoing payments will automatically move to the new account.
More than nine out of 10 (93%) First Direct customers described the service they get from their bank as "great". The internet and telephone-based bank is owned by HSBC – which came second from bottom in the survey.
First Direct came out on top in a similar study run by consumer group Which? in July. Earlier this month, it upped an incentive for people to switch to it from £100 to £125.
At the other end of the spectrum, more than one fifth (21%) of Bank of Scotland current account customers rated the service provided by the bank as "poor", while just over a third (36%) said they got a great service. The bank was rated as "OK" by 43% of customers.
A Bank of Scotland spokesman said that getting customer service right is at
the "heart" of its strategy and the level of banking complaints it is seeing has been falling.
Santander, which was languishing at the bottom of the table one year ago, has moved into fifth place for its accounts generally and was also in third place for its flagship 123 account, which offers cashback on household bills paid through the account as well as in-credit interest.
Santander recently announced it is simplifying its current account range, including moving customers off its older "packaged" paid-for current accounts, which it stopped selling more than a year ago.
Halifax also saw a significant jump in the proportion of customers describing the provider as "great" – up from 38% six months ago to 53%.
Halifax's strategy in preparation for the new switching rules has been based on trying to make sure customers are kept happy once they have changed to it.
It is offering customers £100 to switch, as well as a fee-free overdraft for the first six months.
Halifax has also recently cut the amount of cash people need to place in its Reward and Ultimate Reward current accounts in order to be paid £5 into their account each month from £1,000 to £750 a month.
Dan Plant, head of editorial at MoneySavingExpert, said the findings show that several major banks need to "step up their game" as the new switching service is likely to bring lots of offers from providers trying to tempt new customers in.
He added: "We are now just weeks away from the new switching rules so there really is no excuse to put up with bad accounts with even worse service."

So as the father of three, and entering my mid-40s, I've sort of turned the corner on my racing 'career'. I just don't really enjoy it anymore. I still love to ride, and am definitely harder than most, AND I can still turn the screw down tight if necessary. I just don't like to do it EVERY ride.
Ergo, I started doing a different ride. It's filled with guys (and ladies) like me. It's a great ride, on a great loop.
Unfortunately, the "racers" started appearing. Fine, whatever...to each his own...
The problem? The "racers" that show are the new-school, wannabe jackoffs who like the team kit, but don't like actually toeing the line. About a dozen of them showed up tonight.
One of the biggest weekends in Southeast racing is THIS weekend. Athens, including the Twilight Pro race, and Roswell...both in Georgia. Both are great courses, and the weather is supposed to be perfect.
Are any of them going? Nope...not a one.
Instead, they showed up tonight and completely dicked the ride. There was much grumbling among the regulars about their behavior. It's not like the ride is normally slow either. It averages well over 22mph w/o the general douchebaggery of the "racers". Hell, I come home with 20-21 average INCLUDING spinning over to the ride, and spinning home...thru the neighborhood!
My main issue is the lack of respect towards the main bunch of riders who started the ride years ago, and keep it going. These "racers" just haven't learned perspective, or how and when to reign it in. Guys who are truly strong don't feel the need for the sword fight on every ride.
If you show up to someone else's party, don't piss in the punchbowl.
And if you can't sack up to race on Saturday, leave it in your pants on Thursday!

** Coquette Paper & Press is offering Love My Dress readers the chance to
win *50* digitally printed Save The Date cards. Full details below! **
Paper & Press is a boutique stationer, specialising in wedding stationery. They also create birth announcements, social stationery and branding for
businesses in the wedding industry. They're no strangers to Love My Dress, having previously had their paper goods featured here and here. It really is some of the prettiest paper we've seen.
Love My Dress Wedding Blog – Photography Copyright (c) 2012, Dasha Caffrey (see this full eco-shoot here)
The company was started in 2010 by Kate Taylor, who continues to handle all of the design work, alongside studio manager Lucy who takes care of logistics and customer service. Coquette Paper & Press work with the best independent print
studios in the UK for both digital and letterpress printing, sourcing
all their card stock and envelopes themselves to ensure they're using the best
products available at all times. Green thinking is also important to the brand, working as they do with mills that produce FSC certified papers and using packaging made
from post-consumer waste wherever possible.
Kate told me more about the business and her passion for paper…
did Coquette Paper & Press come about?
'I started Coquette
Paper & Press while I was training as a makeup artist. I'd
previously been working as a graphic designer and
family members started turning to me when they couldn't
find wedding stationery that fit the vision they had for their wedding day, so my
evenings were spent rifling through paper samples and hunting for
fonts. It soon grew to be far more than an evening hobby!'
do you love about your work?
just a teeny bit obsessed with typography and paper, so it really is the
perfect job! I love working with couples to bring all the different elements of
their day together through their stationery. It's amazing how creative some of
my clients have been in terms of how they've incorporated their paper goods into their
wedding day.'
'What you see on the website is just a small selection of what we
offer. I love working on bespoke projects with
couples. Because of the intensive nature of such work, I only take on a handful each
year, but they always bring amazing results. Last year I worked with a couple
getting married in Singapore, and we created a 5 piece invitation set which
combined letterpress and watercolour, and was finished with hand-painted edges
and envelopes lined in handmade paper. It was a LOT of work, but the results
were beautiful.'
inspires you when it comes to your work? Are there any designers/artists you
particularly admire?
constantly on the lookout for new fonts from my favourite foundries as well as
up and coming or student designers. Fonts can play a huge part in inspiring the
direction of a design and I like finding fonts that haven't become mainstream
yet. I also collect vintage ephemera, although not all of my designs would be
considered 'vintage' they may have originally been inspired by a piece of
vintage wallpaper or an old book.'
'I love Persephone Books, who reprint
forgotten literature, mostly written by women, from the inter-war
period. The cover design, typography and endpapers are
so beautifully considered. Packaging design is also a huge
inspiration, from soap and perfume to fruit papers and cheese wrappers; nothing
is too odd to make it onto my pin board!'
also plays a huge role – colours, textures and patterns. The inspiration folders
on my desktop are filled with street style images and editorial shoots. I love
unexpected combinations of print and colour; it always gets my creative juices
would you describe your signature style? What type of couple is drawn to
Coquette Paper & Press?
signature style is very much a hybrid, mixing Edwardian, mid-century and modern
influences. For instance, the typography and framing on my new Evelyn
design is inspired by Edwardian pamphlets, but the colour palette is taken from
a pair of trousers from J Crew's S/S 2013 collection!'
Paper & Press couples definitely know their own mind, and the bride and
groom are both very involved in planning their wedding – I deal with
grooms almost as much as brides. They know their design references, what they
like and what they don't, and always bring a touch of creative thinking to
their choices. Above all, they're always a pleasure to work with!'
you provide a price guide?
start at about £3 and Save the Dates at £2.40. Bespoke designs start at £350.
Our website only shows a fraction of the pieces that couples can order. We're
constantly adding new products to the line-up, but if you can't see what you're
looking for, just get in touch, we don't bite!'
are you located/where do you ship to?
based in London (and sometimes Devon!). We ship all over the world, no address
is too far. We've worked with brides in the US, Australia, Greece, Germany and
Switzerland, as well as the UK. And we're always happy to incorporate foreign
text into our designs, we've worked in Cryllic, Hebrew, Cantonese and Arabic
The good news is, one
lucky Love My Dress couple can win 50 digitally printed Save the Date cards from Coquette Paper & Press. To enter simply visit the Coquette Paper & Press website, and then leave a comment on this post telling us which is your favourite design. The closing date for the competition is midnight on Wednesday 28th November.
As if that wasn't enough, Coquette Paper & Press is also offering a 10% discount on all orders placed before midnight on 31st
December. Simply use the code LMD10 when you check out online, or quote the
discount when ordering by email.
You can keep up to date with Coquette Paper & Press via their website and blog, or email them directly on firstname.lastname@example.com.
Can't wait to read your design picks in the comments below! If I could enter I'd go for Astrid. Love those twinkling stars and delicious looking font!
Much love,

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Pat Fitzgerald doesn't deny the hard evidence, but he also feels there's more to Northwestern's case.
Yes, the Wildcats have seen their wins total drop in each of the past three seasons, from nine in 2008 to eight in 2009 to seven in 2010 to six last fall. After back-to-back 5-3 marks in Big Ten play in 2008 and 2009, Northwestern has seen its league record flip in each of the past two seasons.
It doesn't take a mathematics major at Northwestern to see where things are going and ask the question: Has the program lost momentum?
"You can nitpick everything you want, but there has never been more positive momentum in the history of our program," Fitzgerald told ESPN.com. "If you're going to choose one thing to make it be whether or not you have momentum, that's unrealistic. But we've got to win football games and we've got to finish games better than we did a year ago.
"The program's definitely getting better. You can analyze that one area of wins and losses, which obviously I understand is critically important, but the difference between one or two games is not very much. We could have easily had six wins when we won nine. There's such a fine line."
It's Fitzgerald's job to look at the entire picture, and he notes some of Northwestern's recent accomplishments: four consecutive bowl appearances for the first time in program history; the winningest departing senior class in the program's history; a team GPA of 3.14; a 2012 recruiting class rated by many as the best in Fitzgerald's tenure. The school is also working on a facilities plan that could be a game-changer for the football program, which lags behind most of its Big Ten brethren.
Still, college football is a bottom-line business, and if Northwestern can't reverse the won-loss trend, its bowl appearances streak will end this season.
"Have we achieved our goals? Absolutely not," Fitzgerald said. "Are we hungry to do that? Absolutely. Are we working diligently to tweak the areas we need to improve? Absolutely."
Northwestern will try to make upgrades with a younger roster -- only 11 total starters return on offense and defense -- but quite possibly a more talented one. The team must fill several gaps, none more significant than Dan Persa's at quarterback, and hopes to do so by having what it believes to be stronger recruiting classes begin to pay dividends.
It's no secret the defense needs help after backsliding sharply in the past year and a half. Since a 6-2 start in 2010, Northwestern has surrendered 30 points or more 11 times. Last fall, the defense couldn't get off of the field (114th nationally in third-down defense at 50 percent conversions), fell victim to explosion plays and generated barely any pressure (106th in sacks, 104th in tackles for loss).
"You've got to make 'em earn everything," defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz said. "If they make great throws and great catches, you can live with those things. But we had some situations last year where we busted a coverage because of communication or we didn't have anybody back there. They didn't have to make the perfect throw or the perfect catch.
"We can execute better, no question."
The challenge is to improve communication and execution with a group heavy on youth. Although Northwestern returns all three starting linebackers, it will use young players in all three sections of the defense, including redshirt freshman cornerback Nick VanHoose, sophomore linebacker Chi Chi Ariguzo and redshirt freshman defensive end Deonte Gibson.
Consider that Ibraheim Campbell, a redshirt sophomore safety who led the team with 100 tackles in 2011, is viewed as the clear leader of the secondary.
Communication has been a focal point this spring, as players are taking extra measures to ensure they're on the same page.
"When I yell out a call to the D-line, the only way I know they got it is if they tap their hip," linebacker David Nwabuisi said. "We started forgetting about little stuff like that [in 2011]. Now when I make a call, if the D-lineman doesn't tap his hip, I keep on yelling at him until he does. Same thing with DBs to linebackers."
Communication shouldn't be an issue for Kain Colter, who started three games at quarterback in place of the injured Persa last season and evolved into arguably the Big Ten's most versatile offensive weapon (654 rush yards, 673 pass yards, 466 receiving yards, 18 total touchdowns). Colter is the best athlete to call signals at Northwestern since the team implemented the spread offense in 2000, but to maintain the program's recent run of top-shelf quarterbacks, he needs to become a more polished passer.
The junior emphasized velocity and arm strength during the winter -- he tore the labrum and the biceps in his throwing arm as a high school senior -- and expects to execute the high-percentage passes that drive the Wildcats' offense this fall. He'll have plenty of weapons as Northwestern boasts most likely its deepest receiving corps ever, even if USC transfer Kyle Prater can't play right away.
"My timing's getting a lot better, my arm strength's a lot better," Colter said. "I feel like I can make all the throws on the field. That hasn't been a problem this spring."
Northwestern loses four-year starters on both sides of the ball, an NCAA record holder in Persa, two-time All-Big Ten honoree Jeremy Ebert and Drake Dunsmore, the inaugural winner of the Kwalick-Clark Award as the Big Ten's top tight end. Fitzgerald likened the personnel turnover to a shift change at a factory and acknowledges the team dynamic is different.
Given the declining wins total, though, some new blood might not be a bad thing, and the coaches feel the team's overall talent level is on the uptick.
"There's better talent than people think," offensive coordinator Mick McCall said. "The cupboard's not bare. We've got guys who can play football. They just haven't had the experience yet.
"It's just their time. Let's go play."

Flodell Burton Angell
Memorial graveside services are scheduled for 10 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012, at South Park Cemetery, for Flodell Burton Angell, of Roswell, who passed from this life on Oct. 30, 2012, at 91 years of age.
She was born Dec. 22, 1920, to Lee and Gertie Tibbets Holcomb in House, where she lived until she was 18 years old. She graduated from high school in House and then moved to Roswell.
She met and married Dub Burton on Oct. 24,1942. They were married 30 years until his death in January 1972. To that union were born [auth] two daughters. Elaine Britt and her husband Hank, of Dexter. They have three children, Shane Britt and his wife Brenda, and his son Matthew, of Dexter, William Britt and his wife Sandy, of Dexter, and his son John Henry Britt and his wife Courtney, of Guthrie, Okla., and Natalie Swinney and her husband Kennon, of Dexter, and their three children, Wyatt, Bailey and Heath.
The youngest daughter Kathy Barnett and her husband Tay, of Ruidoso. They have three children, daughters, Bronwyn Parsons and her husband Preston, of Encinitas, Calif., and their daughter Isla Parsons, Keely Tondino and her husband Jonathan, of Ruidoso, and their son Luca, and son Gage Barnett, a college student, of Encinitas.
Flodell met Roy Angell at Country Club Road Church of Christ in Roswell. They married June 28, 1975. Roy had four children, Sylvia Higgins and her husband Don, Larry Angell and his wife Susan, Lynn Angell and wife Jamie, and Bruce Angell and his wife Mary, and their families.
Flodell was a devout Christian all of her life. She had a beautiful, loving and gentle spirit. She loved the Lord, her family, Country Club Road Church of Christ and caring for her home. She was a devoted wife and caregiver to both Dub Burton and Roy Angell during their illnesses until their deaths.

There are also two separate noise filters, and a small selection of picture presets. Though as usual with Samsung TVs at the moment, these presets aren't especially helpful, as they all push contrast and backlight output too hard, causing noise and a few colour problems.
After toning things down a bit, though, our tests found Sky HD news feeds and a variety of daytime shows from the onboard BBC and ITV HD channels all looking startlingly good for a £300 32in TV.
Colours are much more vibrant and appear to enjoy a wider tonal range than you usually get for so little money. Plus they enjoy fairly natural tones aside from a skintone issue we'll get to later.
The HD images also look crisper than is common for the budget TV market, especially as while motion certainly isn't completely free of LCD's common blurring/resolution loss issues, it's certainly far better than the mushy mess commonly seen at the 32EH5000's money.
Pictures are decently bright too, avoiding another common cheap TV failing and thus becoming a perfectly acceptable second-room option for light environments like conservatories and kitchens.
The single most pleasant surprise where these first HD impressions are concerned, though, is the apparent contrast of the 32EH5000's pictures. For alongside the rich colours already noted the screen delivers extremely punchy whites alongside what look at this stage at least like really respectable black levels.
We added the 'at this stage' qualifier back there because experience has shown that the sort of predominantly bright content that makes up most daytime TV viewing can give a 'false reading' where black level response is concerned. In particular, it's very hard indeed to see potential backlight consistency flaws until you switch to the much more dark-dominated scenes contained in many films.
So let's make that switch now... And actually, the 32EH5000 doesn't fall down nearly as badly as we'd have expected. The biggest relief while watching almost completely dark footage is that the screen doesn't suffer badly at all with backlight clouding. There's a faint patch of extra brightness towards the bottom left corner, but this is hardly ever obvious enough to be in any way distracting. Especially if you've taken the TV's backlight and contrast levels down to 11 (or less) and around 85 respectively.
Making the backlight uniformity all the more impressive is the fact that the 32EH5000 can produce a vastly superior black level response to most if not all other new TVs at its price level. Sure, there's a shade of greyness over parts of the picture that would ideally look perfectly black. But this grey is nothing like as strong as the 'mist' that spoils so many budget TV pictures, leaving you able to feel much more involved with dark scenes - especially as the depth of black levels achieved helps dark colours look more natural, too.
very bad tv.
Terrible viewing angle with disgusting color shift, dead pixels, bluish black, jerky motion(useless fake 100hz), terrible standard definition, excessive blur with movement, very bad shimmering lines, comical chassis and remote control build quality and of course.... panel lottery.
The good: good blue black , low input lag, no flashlights.
Thanks for the heads up. Was considering the TV, now maybe not
Thats not an edge LED, if I am not wrong - only the ES are.
The EH series are direct LED ones though they dont have as many LED clusters as high end devices
Well I was so impressed with this TV, price and quality of picture I bought two, one for ourselves and one for the parents. What was a surprise was the quality of sound. Normally these slim line tvs have a very tinny sound...I had to buy a sound bar for my last one,a Phillips. This one does not nned a sound bar!. Yes it is thicker than some of the more modern ones...but that allows a better loud speaker and it makes all the difference. Viewing angles? the damn thing is light enough to swivel and it can be seen from any reasonable viewpoint. Colours are vivid and I have yet tofind a dead pixel on either.
I'm confused about the Freeview HD. You say you need a LAN conector, but what does this need to plug into. Also I just been onto John Lewis to enquire & they say it's not HD & that on the Samsung manual it say's there's no LAN port. Any more info?? Great site by the way
I too was initially misled by the John Lewis website as the headline description is just Freeview & I nearly discounted this model. However the detailed specifications on the JL website have the details correct :-Digital tunerFreeview HD"
Can I use a dongle to access the Internet on this TV? If so, does anyone know which dongle will work best? thanks, Max
I have this TV. What are the best settings for gaming and movies?
So far the piclture is very good for this level of TV. However, I can't find the flesh tone adjustment in the menu. Would like instructions on what menu item this is listed under.
did anyone connect it to a pc?i've tried to connect it and wont work
How did you try to connect to your PC? I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work. Did you change the input to HDMI1?
Does this tv support ARC (Audio Return Channel)
The reason the back end sticks out so much is because it is a 'Direct-lit' TV. Direct-lit is similar to back-lit accept it uses less LED's behind the screen to cut costs. If you have less LED's behind the screen they then have to be placed further back so that they can illuminate the entire screen. Hence why the back end is bigger than normal. It's like holding a torch close to a wall. Hold it close to the wall and it won't light up much of the wall. But hold it further back and it lights up more wall. =)

So, just got back from the independent film "Moon" with Sam Rockwell.
Great, great movie! Highly recommended. It was a bit rough around the edges, but I really haven't seen anything close to it in years. I would highly recommend it if you can find it playing in a theater near you. Very cool practical effects and a nice (not too deep) story that makes you give at least a moments pause about your life and purpose. :thumbsup

Toronto's school authorities are attempting to enage students whose ancestry can be traced to Africa by enfusing an Afrocentric approach in teaching various subjects. For example, students in math develop graphs to trace the origins of Canada's immigrants, the hope being all students will gain greater awareness if they learn about the backgrounds of other people. If the American experience has anything to offer, it suggets an Afrocentric approach to education is the "means," not the end. If studying about one's heritage entices students to learn, it is a successful approach. But, if Afrocentrism entails obtaining data for data sake, there is scant hope it will transform a student who is tuned out to school to tune in.
A problem with all such programs which endeavor to stimulate pride in one's heritage is how one teaches. If the approach is information rather than stimulating critical and creative thinking, there simply is not enough evidence to suggest students doing poorly will suddenly love school. A "talking teacher" is boring regardless if the teacher is talking about Africa or Canada. There is need in any Afrocentric approach to include activities and materials that engage students with important concepts and challenge them to become critical thinkers.

A truly charming little house that was more than adequate for two couples. The one bathroom didn't present a problem for us and neither did the lack of a stand up shower. Morning coffee on the front porch was wonderful and I was visited by two deer on the second morning despite the traffic just a block away on Main Street. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to stay there again on our next trip to Fredericksburg. The cereal, pastries and juice were exactly what we expected for the breakfast that was included in the price.

Innovative pump solution dewaters the longwall face of a mine, leading to more operational uptime and reduced energy costs.
Water is a consistent problem in mining operations. Operating underground in areas below the water table, water will seep, even pour, into a mine. Water can slow operations, lead to costly downtime and make the mine uneconomical to operate. Often, because of the nature of the shafts that are dug, the transfer route for removing the water is not straight, and the distances can be long.
The Problem
In Alabama, a large mining company needed to keep water off the longwall face in its mine. It consulted with a design firm, Jim House and Associates, that specializes in water and wastewater transport and treatment, to suggest methods of dewatering the situation.
The chief strategist assigned to the account was Mark Hall. It was made clear that it was essential to remove the water from the mine.
System Requirements
The mine needed to move water from a sump located 1,800 feet along the longwall to the tailgate. That application required a 1,850-foot suction line with a shallow low spot or sump as the water source. The elevation of the sump was 675 feet, and the elevation of the pump was 670 feet. The unusual issue with the flooded pump suction was multiple dips and rises along the suction line length that kept water from free flowing due to entrapped air.
The mine operators wanted as much water removed from the longwall face as possible. Previously, as they mined past these sumps, the electric Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) submersible pumps had to be pulled when the face reached them.
Hall explained that if the pump solution could provide an end suction pump to handle the water out of the tail gate entry, then the added value for the mine would be unprecedented.
Pump Options
One of Hall's favorite sayings is, "Plan your work, and then work your plan." Here is how the "plan was worked." On the recommendation of the design consultants, the mine company considered two options to dewater the longwall face: a submersible pump or some type of self-priming pump.
Three criteria influenced the pump choice:
- Durability was the first and most important measurement for project success. Given the need to run the mine at peak efficiency, downtime of the pump meant downtime of mining. The product had to work well in difficult and demanding conditions.
- The pump solution also had to contend with no water in the line during the initial start-up of the system, as well as water loss during stoppage.
- Finally, the mine company wanted to purchase a system that had high wire-to-water ratings. A highly energy-efficient motor was desired to lower the cost of ownership—through energy used and replacement costs. A smaller motor also better fit the space constraints of the project.
A submersible pump would work in the wet environment of the mine. However, energy efficiencies using a submersible motor were not at the level at which the mine company wanted to operate. A self-priming option was also examined. This pump included a patented mechanical seal which meant that it would not leak water, as is commonly the case with packed pumps. The pump also had the ability to run dry. This dry-run feature ensured that no damage to the seal would occur if the pump lost prime and continued to run.
Self-Priming Solution
The self-priming pump option was selected to remove the water from and keep it off the longwall face once the longwall mined past the location. The system used a positive sealing float box and a mechanically driven, low-maintenance, high-volume vacuum pump for rapid priming. This design allowed no water carry-over from the priming system into the environment. A line size of 12 inches was determined to minimize the friction loss, allowing the pump to employ sufficient NPSHr to accomplish the job.
During the initial priming cycle, the pump ran with no water in it for 50 minutes. Even with those dry-run conditions, the seals worked perfectly. The pump featured extended seal life, and the mechanical seal was protected from damage.
Because of the shallow sump (3 feet deep), operators were concerned that, once the suction started, the application would experience vortex and introduce air into the system. Hall had an innovative solution. A five-foot-long strainer was made using 12-inch PVC pipe with quarter-inch diameter holes drilled in the bottom half of the pipe. The strainer was capped, resulting in no vortexing with start-up.
The design firm and the mining company planned and ran the suction line down the #2 entry before any issues with falls of the roof occurred. Once the system was initiated, a visual and audio inspection of the suction line occurred to find any air leaks. In multiple locations, the PVC suction pipe was introducing air into the system. Hall employed another innovative solution for this problem. He used clear shrink wrap to cover the couplings and stop the leaks. Once the leaks were controlled, the pump took 50 minutes to evacuate all the air from the 1,850-foot, 12-inch suction line, allowing the water to be transferred to another sump. This application kept water off the longwall face. Previously, mining had to be halted to accomplish the same task. The longwall is 1,600 feet past the source of water.

Microhardness of composite resins: effect of photocuring units and polymerization periods in different depths. Pesqui. Odontol. Bras. [online]. 2000, vol.14, n.1, pp.65-70. ISSN 1517-7491. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1517-74912000000100012.
The properties of composite resins have been frequently studied, as well as the factors that might influence the polymerization degree. Considering the evolution of composites and the need to improve their clinical performance, this study intends to evaluate the efficacy of two high-intensity and one low-intensity photocuring units, as a function of exposure time (20 and 40seconds) and composite depth (from 1 to 4 millimeters). Composite properties were evaluated via Knoop Microhardness Test. Statistical analysis (1 way ANOVA, p < 0.05) of the obtained results showed that there was statistically significant difference regarding the time factor. The 40-seconds polymerization time showed the best results, for the four depths. Concerning the photocuring unit factor, there was statistically significant (1- way ANOVA, p < 0.05) difference between the tested devices. The high-intensity units demonstrated better results than the low-intensity one. There were statistically significant differences between the analysed composite depths, being the highest microhardness values achieved for the lowest depths.

iSimple ISCH73 Review (iPod automotive adapter)
Product: iSimple ISCH73
Description: iPod automotive adapter
Vehicle requirements: RAK, RAQ or REC.
I've been using this product for three days. I'll update this thread if I discover anything new.
-Goes through your VES so you don't lose audio quality (this was important to me because most iPod adapters go through FM, which will kill the audio quality (according to reviews that I've read)).
-Steering wheel audio controls work. The volume control still controls your receiver. The seek +/- controls on your steering wheel and on your receiver will change the track on your iPod to switch songs forward, backward, fast forward, rewind, etc.
-iPod is always charging when the receiver has power.
-Easy and quick install (takes about 30 minutes).
-Apparently you lose your satellite inputs with this setup (I don't use the satellite radio, so I can't comment much further on this topic).
Re: iSimple ISCH73 Review (iPod automotive adapter)
Sat is not lost, you can chose between losing either the SAT or VES inputs with the kit as it stands, however you can retain the use of all your inputs by wiring in a relay.
The ISCH73 is the latest version of the IPAC-CHY still the same company (PAC) just a different name (iSimple). I do not recommend using the IPAC-CHY it is cheaply made. Wiring comes lose and the module itself has a tendency to turn of and on by itself eventually resulting in complete failure. I went through 2 of the IPAC-CHY.
Re: iSimple ISCH73 Review (iPod automotive adapter)
I have the ISCH73 but I can select VES in order to.get it to.play my ipod. Do you know how to fix it?
Re: iSimple ISCH73 Review (iPod automotive adapter)
Either one of two causes. A defective unit or you have it wired wrong. Make sure you are connected to the VES (purple, black green, 3 connector wire) and not the SAT (white brown gray) connection on the ISCH73. Make sure you are using while the vehicle is running it will not work in Retained Accessory Power Mode, this is where the radio will continue to play after the ignition is turned of or until you open and close a door etc.
Re: iSimple ISCH73 Review (iPod automotive adapter)
jsherv - did you figure out the problem?
If so, please let me know ..think I have the same issue:
Re: iSimple ISCH73 Review (iPod automotive adapter)
Sorry to bump an old thread but I just ran into trouble with my ISCH73 and figured I'd post an update here in case anybody else had this issue. I just had a heater core replaced in my vehicle and the mechanic unplugged my ISCH73 during that process. When he put the vehicle back together, the iPod and the VES were both playing on my speakers at the same time when I was in VES mode for my iPod. Reason being is that the 10-pin connector has the VES & Satelite inputs and I originally left that disconnected as the instructions tell you to unplug one or the other (depending which input you choose to use). Since I didn't use satelite or VES, I made it easy on myself and unplugged the entire 10-pin connector so I wouldn't have to pull the specific wires. If anybody is interested in keeping VES or satelite active, the wire configs can be seen here: Jeep Grand Cherokee WK - Audio system pinouts
Also, just to update anybody interested in this setup... I've been rocking it for 2+ years now and this is the first issue I ran into which wasn't the products fault.

Daily 3-Bet: Kid Poker Shouts, Pauly Out, Being Holden
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a Hunter S. Thompson-esque drug-fueled road trip down the sun baked highways of the poker news desert.
Any suggestions for a future 3-Bet, feel free to drop a note in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we have a brand new anti-Annie Duke rant by Daniel Negreanu, the infamous Dr. Pauly signing off on Tao of Poker and an Irish film crew tackling an English poker star.
1) Negreanu Rants, Mostly About Annie Duke
Daniel Negreanu's Weekly Rant hit the Web one day early this week and, big surprise, it's an unmitigated assault on Annie Duke.
By any stretch of the imagination Negreanu has already spent too much time on someone of whom he thinks so little.
In today's rant he lists poker's most prominent females, but reserves a special slot for his arch-nemesis.
2) Dr. Pauly Says Goodbye
Paul "Dr. Pauly" McGuire has been a cornerstone of the poker blogging world for years and has managed to capture humanity, or lack thereof, in the poker world like few others.
McGuire announced today that his post "A Letter to Ndugu" on Tao of Poker will be the blog's last.
Author of Lost Vegas and Jack Tripper Stole My Dog, McGuire pulls zero punches in his goodbye post. Years of life on the road, living the lifestyle that made his blog famous, have taken their toll.
He writes:
For the last few years, I've felt like a fraud without a sincere message. I hate repeating myself and my schtick is nothing more than a derivative of something I already said much better years before.
I'm supposed to be imparting pearls of wisdom to you, but instead I've done nothing but brag about what it is like dabbling in the Dionysian lifestyle (smoking too much grass and popping waaaaay too many pills), while promoting the genius of degenerate gambling.
I was a peddler of broken dreams -- a postmodern Pusherman -- shoving online poker down the throats of whomever wandered into this corner of the web. I should've been executed five years ago by a firing squad for crimes against humanity.
We're going to stick with our schtick, repetitive or not, but we're sad to see the end of Tao of Poker.
Check out the final post here.
3) Irish Film Crew Features Sam Holden's WSOP Run
Producers of the Irish reality-television show Fade Street are focusing on the 2011 WSOP Main Event in a documentary that will air on sports channels internationally.
Being Sam Holden is a 26-minute look at 22-year-old Sam Holden who returned to Las Vegas last November for a shot at becoming the world champion of poker.
Holden eventually finished ninth, earning over $780,000 and secured a sponsorship deal with 888Poker.
The short film also includes Irish November Niner Eoghan O'Dea, and his father Donnacha who made the Main Event final table in 1983 and 1991.
From the Irish Film and Television Network.

Had an email from the Pass the Book winner, Jennifer last night to say she now already has the book so I get to draw another name. Sorry about the blurry pic - coughing is not conducive to good picture taking.
Congrats Nicky. Can you please drop me an email with your address details? Email button in my profile.
Next I want to tell you about a class Julie is running on her blog Notes on Paper. It's a free class (that got your attention didn't it?) for those of us who are curious about Twitter, maybe have dipped our toes in but aren't quite sure, maybe thought about it but decided against it... well Julie is running a really in depth Twitter 'how to' class at the moment and she really knows her stuff. It's well worth going along for a look.
In Julie's own words:
- read about what on earth twitter.com does and is;
- learn about how Twitter might be useful to you;
- get more out of Twitter than you already are;
- hear practical ideas on making the site work for you;
- uncover some of the more artistic values and uses of Twitter.
It's aimed at everyone from:
- complete beginners to ...
- those with an account already but who don't use it;
- to those who do use it but for only one purpose;
- ... and even for those who think the idea of writing very short message is ridiculous and pointless!
Thanks for stopping by :)

When growing capacity and power in the data center, the architectural trade-offs between server scale-up vs. scale-out continue to be debated.

It's worth noting that there are additional, unique advantages that scale-up architectures offer. One big advantage is large memory and compute capacity...

How Movie Theaters Plan To Overcome The Pull Of Laptop Viewing
AMC Entertainment is focusing on improved food and drink options, and letting customers reserve seats in advance.
AMC Entertainment was recently acquired by Chinese mogul Wang Jianlin last year for $2.6 billion through his company, the Wanda Group. The movie theater chain, which mainly operates in the U.S., has filed to go public and is aiming to raise $400 million in an initial public offering.
Attendance was down in its movie theaters, so AMC is attempting to get more people watching films in theaters instead of at home on their devices. Quartz reports that some tactics the company is using include focusing on better food and drink options.
Forty four AMC theaters serve alcohol at bars and eleven serve full meals to customers during the film. Some AMC theaters are also letting customers reserve specific seats in advance, which they believe will become increasingly prevalent in the future.

text: My hubby is a Vietnam Vet who is currently receiving 20% for diabetes. We have recently applied for an upgrade due to restricted activities. He has also just recently been dx'd with liposarcoma(soft tissue sarcoma), high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, neuropathy from the diabetes, and ptsd. He his also on very strong narcotics for the cancer, which makes him sleepy all the time and seems to depress him. He dosn't even feel like showering anymore! He used to take pride in his appearance, but since he has been on this morphine he dosn't seem to care anymore. He has been very sick and unable to hold a job for about 2 years now, and I dont make enough money to pay all our bills, let alone buy groceries. Needless to say, we are about to lose everything and are on the verge of being homeless. We have used up all of our savings. He has to follow a restricted diet to help control the diabetes and I cant afford to buy all of these expensive foods for him to eat like he is supposed. I have just applied for a temp rating of 100% due to the cancer. I dont know very much about the process and dont know what all I should file for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please help.

Ground / neutral reverse. Important or not?
I've googled and some people think this is important and some not. Part of the problem with googling is I get posts from electricians in other countries. For those of us in the U.S., can someone please explain a ground neutral reverse and whether or not it is a safety issue? Some people say they're technically the same. But technically or not, I'd like to know more about this.
This is an unsafe condition. First off yea in the main disconnect the neutral and grounds are bonded but only in the main disconnect are the bonded after that point any sub panels must have the grounds and netrals isolated. The reason this condition is bad is that it is against code. The bare or green wire can not be used as a current carring conductor.
hi, Thank you for your reply.
Can you tell me why they are isolated and what could happen if the ground is used as a neutral?
Well as to why they are isolated after the main disconnect I don't know but I'm sure that a seasoned pro can tell you. As to what could happen if you switch them, well say you put the ground on the neutral and the neutral on the ground, then you have some work done on the electrical well the electricain sees this and switches them back where they should be, ok so now you have current in some recepticals on the ground so you plug your T.V. into this receptical well it may just fry your T.V. If I am wrong a pro will correct me. Seeing as how I am only a student.
There's a lot more, but this is the poop in a nutshell!
It is most definitely a safety issue, pudge is on the right track with this subject.
It is true that the neutral and the grounds are one in the same at the service disconnect but only at the service disconect. These conductors are NOT interchangeable once they leave this panel and cannot be combined/wired together in any way.
If you use a ground as a neutral terminal, what you are doing is energizing the grounded terminal. Which means that any outlet or point at which that ground wire makes contact with another device, you have the potential for a person to become the path to ground. Lets say the ground wire happens to have a loose or bad/broken connection; anything plugged into that circuit with a metal chassis (and even those that don't) can make you the path to ground just by touching the metal frame. Say for instance this is a microwave in your kitchen and you happen to be touching the outside of the microwave and the sink at the same time when making some popcorn. It will be quite the shocking experience.
The reason the neutral and grounds are kept separate once they leave the main service disconnect (usually main breaker panel) is based on the same theory as above. If you tie the neutral and ground together you are allowing return energy to flow on the bare ground wire affecting anything connected to that circuit/sub panel. This has the potential to seriously injure someone just touching a switch or any bare metal along this path.
I am sure Stubbie or someone will be along to provide some wonderful pictures to illustrate the reasons behind this.
Besides the obvious reasons that have already been given, there is the issue of computer and electronic equipment.
This equipment is very sensitive, and could easily be fried by having any current at all in the case and internal ground system.
In addition, all of the new surge protector strips will warn and/or alarm when this condition exists, and for good reason.
There could be all sorts of problems related to anything that connects to earth ground via another path, such as cable TV, satellite dish, phone, etc.
You definitely don't want to mess with this. It needs to be done correctly!
39 Attachment(s)
not to mention it could cause electrolysis on all the metals in your house.
Thank you guys for the information provided, it has more than answered my question!
