So first I painted it black and then over that with white and sanded it in spots to show some wear but it looks anemic so I need some advice. What can I do to further age it? Give it a little more character. Should I rub on stain or something? I don't want it to be brown though if I use stain. Okay, so some of you do the best stuff so let me know how to distress it more.

So first I painted it black and then over that with white and sanded it in spots to show some wear but it looks anemic so I need some advice. What can I do to further age it? Give it a little more character. Should I rub on stain or something? I don't want it to be brown though if I use stain. Okay, so some of you do the best stuff so let me know how to distress it more.

Terrific milk can! You made me think of my mom! She had those geese - blue and white and all in her kitchen!
Hope you have a blessed weekend,

I'm just glad you painted over the blue and the geese! My mom had the same in her kitchen.
What if you leave it as is, but add a big black number? or initial?

Yep, my kitchen used to be all about country blue and geese. Might still be if I hadn't come to Kuwait. Nothing country to be found here, that's for sure.
I had the same experience with Google some time back -- was blog hopping and next thing I know, my blog is gone. For about 10 minutes, I was dumbfounded, received a message that there was some unusual activity in my account and they would send me a code via my mobile. I hadn't given my mobile number before when requested -- I think it was just a way for them to have more information. It's been happening to a lot of folks -- kinda making the rounds it seems.
Thank goodness that's all it took to get things back up and running again.
Hope your day is great. Tammy

Oh what a neat idea! I think I have one stashed in hubby's shop. Thanks Elaine! If you do use stain, just wipe most of it off, and work with it til you get it like you want it. You can also use dark wax to achieve pretty much the same results.

How about a green/turquoise stain or paint to give it the look of copper patina? I would also top it off with something round and use as an end table.

You can take some darker paint and just water it down until it is like ink consistency. You brush it on (or wipe it on) and then quickly wipe it right back off. Use water based paint so that you can "wash" it off until you get it right. Once you like it..throw some paste wax on it to seal it. You can use those small bottles of acrylic paints. I usually use burnt umber for that "aged" look. A little bottle will do a ton of pieces.

If it were mine, I would do a light brownish stain and then I would sand it here and there to further antique it..Hope this helps.

Oh you lucky girl to have such a fun can! :o)
I have seen them painted in different colors. I think white tends to show off the things we wish couldn't be seen. :o) The one I fell in love with was painted a similar green as your background. :o)
I can't wait to see what you decide. :o) Maybe paint it a color and then paint a number on it with white??

Awesome can! I like NanaDiana's advice. I think a beigey color would be nice with the distressed look. The number might be okay, too. I would tie some homespun on the handle ~ I am hopelessly prim:) Have fun whatever you do!!!

- ❁Velma ~Down Our Country Road❁ said...
I like the idea of painting on a couple of numbers...making them just a bit distressed or faded by slightly sanding the numbers once the paint dries.
Which reminds me, I've got an old milk can that my aunt gave me. It sits in the hallway holding umbrellas. It has been painted yellow and could really use a new paint job!!! Another project to add to my to-do list....sigh. Thanks Elaine!!

- Robin said...
It looks like a lot of comments are saying what I was going to. I think it looks fine but I would add something (number, initial, transfer) and sand it so it looks aged. I always had one on my porch until I moved to FL. I must have painted it 5 or 6 times!

So glad the geese are gone. I have a red milk can just like yours. I saw this idea on a blog. Someone had decoupaged red toile fabric in the center section. I think I'm going to do something similar to mine, except I will use some red ticking fabric. Just an idea.

Try some clear wax on it and then top with dark wax and buff off. I think a simple band of burlap around the middle with maybe one of those burlap roses attached would be pretty. Or book page flowers attached onto the burlap. I have a black one of these that I stenciled geese on in the 80's! It's one of my 'projects' waiting to be redone!

Transgender Tipping Point?
Is transgender America's next civil rights frontier? That's the focus of Time Magazine's latest cover story.
Even KTRH talk show host Rush Limbaugh took a call last week from a transgender who says just the word "tranny" is discriminatory.
"A lot of us do find that to be rather offensive, because of the way it's been historically used," said caller Tina from Colorado.
"Oh, I didn't know that. Tranny is offensive?" asked Limbaugh.
"Yeah. It's kind of an argument," the caller responded.
"Right now I'm living in a weekly rate motel because nobody will rent me an apartment," the caller claimed. "Nobody will have me in a roommate situation."
On the heels of passing Houston's expanded Equal Rights Ordinance, Mayor Annise Parker says its taken decades for the transgender issue to surface.
"I'm glad that Time has discovered the issue, this is not something that has been unaddressed in cities across the nation." Mayor Parker told KTRH News. "Houston to my knowledge, is the last major city in America to take up the issue."
Like same-sex marriage nearly a year ago, Parker believes the Supreme Court will at some point have to weigh-in.
"If you track equal rights ordinances or non-discrimination ordinances across America you will find virtually all of them include both sexual orientation and gender identity, so I would assume that the nation would catch up," said the mayor.

Venezuela's Chavez in stable condition, says son-in-law
By Daniel Wallis
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is in stable condition and spent Monday with his daughters, the cancer-stricken leader's son in law said in an appeal for supporters to ignore rumors about his condition.
Chavez has not been seen in public nor heard from in more than three weeks. The vice president said on Sunday that the 58-year-old was suffering a third set of complications after surgery in Cuba on December 11, his fourth operation in 18 months.
"Compatriots, DON'T believe in ill-intentioned rumors," Science Minister Jorge Arreaza, who is married to Chavez's daughter Rosa Virginia, wrote on Twitter from Havana where they have been at the former soldier's bedside.
"President Chavez spent the day quietly and stable, together with his daughters."
Chavez has not provided details of the cancer that was first diagnosed in June 2011, leading to speculation among Venezuela's 29 million people and criticism from opposition leaders.
Officials have said he suffered unexpected bleeding as result of the complex, six-hour operation on his pelvic area, and that doctors had to fight a respiratory infection, which then caused his latest setback on Sunday.
The government has repeatedly described Chavez's condition as "delicate," warning Venezuelans to prepare for difficult days ahead and urging them to pray for "el Comandante."
The main New Year's Eve party in downtown Caracas was canceled. Instead, the information minister hosted a smaller gathering which featured musicians, speeches and prayers and was dubbed "Now More Than Ever With Chavez." Continued...

Wired! How Electricity Came to Maine
As early as 1633, entrepreneurs along the Piscataqua River in southern Maine utilized the force of the river to power a sawmill, recognizing the potential of the area's natural power sources, but it was not until the 1890s that technology made widespread electricity a reality -- and even then, consumers had to be urged to use it.
Members of the Washburn family of Livermore participated in the Civil War in a variety of ways -- from Caroline at the homefront, to Samuel at sea, Elihu, as a Congressman from Illinois, and Israel governor of Maine. The family had considerable influence politically on several fronts.

Wallace says he "stud[ied] up" for climate change discussion -- then repeats tired falsehoods
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
After claiming that he had been "studying up" for a discussion on climate change, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace repeated the false accusation that emails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia show "climate change advocates were suppressing opposition" and asked, "Hasn't a lot of the science turned out to be somewhat sketchy?" In fact, the East Anglia emails did not demonstrate an attempt to "suppress opposition," and the scientific consensus on the reality of climate change continues to be unchanged.
Wallace claims "climate change advocates were suppressing opposition"
From the February 14 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace:
WALLACE: But, Liz, on the other hand, there's an awful lot of the, quote, "science" that keeps being challenged. We had those email reports that were leaked out of East Anglia that seemed to indicate that some of the climate change advocates were suppressing opposition. Now we have this 2007 report by the U.N.'s international panel on climate change. One thing that I was studying up for this segment -- that there was a claim that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 -- wasn't an academic study. It was one expert who says he was misquoted. Hasn't a lot of the science turned out to be somewhat sketchy?
CRU emails did not show attempt to "suppress opposition"
Mann email proposing boycott of Climate Research cited specific paper. Critics have frequently pointed to a March 11, 2003, email in which Penn State University professor Michael Mann wrote that a paper by Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas (of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) "couldn't have cleared a 'legitimate' peer review process anywhere. That leaves only one possibility -- that the peer-review process at Climate Research has been hijacked by a few skeptics on the editorial board." Mann further stated, "I think we have to stop considering 'Climate Research' as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board ..."
Wallace has repeatedly used CRU emails to make false accusations about climate change
Wallace has previously attacked CRU emails. Claiming that the emails "were either leaked or hacked" from CRU, Wallace said the messages discussed an attempt to "hide the decline in temperatures," and he also called climate scientists "fudgers" who "tried to suppress the opposition."
Global consensus on climate change is unaffected by the release of the emails
NASA scientist: Emails show "no manipulation." Wired's Threat Level blog reported on November 20, 2009, that Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said: "There's nothing in the e-mails that shows that global warming is a hoax. ... There's no funding by nefarious groups. There's no politics in any of these things; nobody from the [United Nations] telling people what to do. There's nothing hidden, no manipulation. It's just scientists talking about science, and they're talking relatively openly as people in private e-mails generally are freer with their thoughts than they would be in a public forum. The few quotes that are being pulled out [are out] of context. People are using language used in science and interpreting it in a completely different way." Schmidt is a contributor to the RealClimate blog, which has stated that some of the reportedly stolen CRU emails "involve people" at RealClimate. Moreover, RealClimate's staff has refuted the distortion of an email that has been repeatedly cited by critics to claim that the emails undermine global warming science, noting that the terms "trick" and "hide the decline" that appeared in a 1999 email represent an "example" of "instances of cherry-picked and poorly-worded 'gotcha' phrases [being] pulled out of context." RealClimate explained that "[s]cientists often use the term 'trick' to refer to a 'a good way to deal with a problem', rather than something that is 'secret', and so there is nothing problematic in this at all," and noted that "hiding the decline" refers to a method that is "completely appropriate."
Scientists note that data sets from other research centers show the same climate trends. An October 14, 2009, Greenwire article said that Tom Karl, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center, "noted that the conclusions of the IPCC reports are based on several data sets in addition to the CRU, including data from NOAA, NASA and the United Kingdom Met Office. Each of those data sets basically show identical multi-decadal trends, Karl said." The article also said that Ben Santer, a climate scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, "said CRU's major findings were replicated by other groups, including the NOAA climatic data center, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and also in Russia."
FactCheck.org: Emails "have been misrepresented by global-warming skeptics," "don't change scientific consensus on global warming." FactCheck.org has stated that while the emails "show a few scientists in a bad light, being rude or dismissive," "there's still plenty of evidence that the earth is getting warmer and that humans are largely responsible." In addition, FactCheck noted that "many of the e-mails that are being held up as 'smoking guns' have been misrepresented by global-warming skeptics eager to find evidence of a conspiracy."
AP: Emails "don't support claims that the science of global warming was faked." The Associated Press reported that after "stud[ying] all the e-mails for context, with five reporters reading and rereading them" and submitting "summaries of the e-mails that raised issues from the potential manipulation of data to intensely personal attacks ... to seven experts in research ethics, climate science and science policy," it concluded that "the exchanges don't undercut the vast body of evidence showing the world is warming because of man-made greenhouse gas emissions."
Scientists reaffirm that global warming is real. Following the emails' release, more than 1,700 scientists from the United Kingdom signed a statement responding "to the ongoing questioning of core climate science and methods." The statement said: "We, members of the UK science community, have the utmost confidence in the observational evidence for global warming and the scientific basis for concluding that it is due primarily to human activities." Furthermore, in a December 4, 2009, letter to Congress, 29 prominent scientists, including 11 members of the National Academy of Scientists, stated, "The body of evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of global warming is overwhelming. The content of the stolen emails has no impact whatsoever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming." Additionally, a December 3, 2009, editorial in the journal Nature stated: "Nothing in the e-mails undermines the scientific case that global warming is real -- or that human activities are almost certainly the cause," and that claims to the contrary by "the climate-change-denialist fringe" are "laughable." The American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Union of Concerned Scientists have all reaffirmed their position that human-caused global warming is real.
Climate emails have been repeatedly misrepresented to cast doubt on global warming. As Media Matters for America has noted, the media have repeatedly misrepresented the contents of the reportedly stolen emails in order to claim that they cast doubt on the scientific basis for the consensus that human-caused global warming is real.
Scientists' studies show glaciers throughout the world are melting rapidly
World Glacier Monitoring Service data show that glaciers are thinning. The World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) -- in coordination with the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) -- issued a report in March 2008 showing that, according to a UNEP press release, "Data from close to 30 reference glaciers in nine mountain ranges indicate that between the years 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 the average rate of melting and thinning more than doubled." The study looked at 30 glaciers in the Alps, the Andes, the Cascade Mountains, Svalbard, Alaska, Scandinavia, Altai, Caucasus, and Tien Shan. WGMS later updated its data for 2007-2008 and asserted that the "new data continues the global trend in strong ice loss over the past few decades."
2009 study shows Swiss glaciers melted by 12 percent over the past decade. Scientists at the ETH Zurich university reportedly issued a study in 2009 showing that Swiss glaciers had retreated by 12 percent over the past decade. A Reuters article quoted Daniel Farinotti, research assistant at the ETH, as saying, "The trend is definitely that glaciers are melting faster now. Since the end of the 1980s, they have lost more and more mass more quickly." The article also noted that "Swiss glaciers have lost 9 cubic km of ice since 1999, the warmest period of the past 150 years, with the most dramatic decline coming in 2003 when they shrunk by 3.5 percent in 2003."
Ohio State glaciologist Lonnie Thompson says glaciers all over the world are melting. According to a January 20 Guardian article, "Lonnie Thompson, a glaciologist at Ohio State University, said there is strong evidence from a variety of sources of significant melting of glaciers -- from the area around Kilimanjaro in Africa to the Alps, the Andes, and the icefields of Antarctica because of a warming climate. Ice is also disappearing at a faster rate in recent decades, he said." From the article:
From the Alps to the Andes, the world's glaciers are retreating at an accelerated pace -- despite the recent controversy over claims by the United Nations' body of experts, leading climate scientists said today.
Lonnie Thompson, a glaciologist at Ohio State University, said there is strong evidence from a variety of sources of significant melting of glaciers - from the area around Kilimanjaro in Africa to the Alps, the Andes, and the icefields of Antarctica because of a warming climate. Ice is also disappearing at a faster rate in recent decades, he said.
"It is not any single glacier," he said. "It is very clear that these glaciers are behaving in a similar fashion."
But there was evidence gathered from a variety of sources that there has been significant melting of glaciers - from the area around Kilimanjaro in Africa to the Alps, the Andes and the icefields of Antarctica - and that the rate of ice loss was accelerating.
"Those changes -- the acceleration of the retreat of the glaciers and the fact that it is a global response -- is the concerning part of all this. It is not any single glacier," he said
Scientists now had evidence collected over a long period of that decline from samples of the ice core and even collections of plants from mountains that were left ice-free for the first time in more than 5,000 years, Thompson said.
The World Glacier Monitoring Service shows a similar picture. In a 2005 survey of 442 glaciers, 398 -- or 90% -- were retreating, 18 were stationary and 26 were advancing.
"Glacier expert" Michael Zemp: "Glaciers are the best proof that climate change is happening." According to a CNN.com article, glacier expert Michael Zemp said he "believes that the errors shouldn't shake people's belief in climate science." It quoted him as saying, "Glaciers are the best proof that climate change is happening. This is happening on a global scale. They can translate very small changes in the climate into a visible signal."

Gas Stove
Hello All
Dont know if this is the right forum for it, and if not, please show me the right forum. But, i am looking for a new gas stove. What i really want to know is across each element (be it 4 or 5) how much btu for each is considered optimal or good.
I know, one might say its based on your cooking, but i have always cooked on electric. so i dont know what is considered "good" vs. "average."
I know forsure, that at least 1 element does btu greater than 16k, and i know i will get a 5k btu element, but what about the other 2 or 3? what should they be to be considered a good gas stove production?
thank you
What were the BTUs of the electrics you've always cooked on?
Electric is measured in BTUs? i never knew that.
i thought BTUs only had to do with gas.
After all those fine home cooked meals without knowing the stove BTUs I doubt it's very important. If the valve wasn't opened far enough dinner may be a little late. Open the valve too far and the skillet smokes. You'll quickly get the change over.
If possible, don't make the mistake we did and buy one that requires electricity to function. Our old range was electric ignition which we liked but when the power was out it could be lit with a match. The new one, not so and very inconvenient.
i'd like to know that too. that electric thing sucks, how do i avoid that.
you are right, if i dont know now, what difference does it make. But i will be spending money on something, so i would rather know and understand what i am spending it on. :thumbup:
so, if 17k, 15k, 9k, 5k (random) is considered good, then so be it and i will use that as a benchmark or reference point when shopping.
Thank you,
Building and fire codes, and perhaps your insurance company, probably set limits on how much output a residential range may have without enhancing firewalls, etc.
Remember you need an appropriately matched range hood to the BTU output of the stove too! Will you have room for it without tearing your kitchen apart? Able to vent it through existing flue to the roof?
Here is a piece on stove BTU consideration that may help?
electric stoves are not rated in btus, they are rated in watts.
Most gas ranges I've seen had 1/2" supply connections. Some ranges with high btu burners require 3/4" supply.
[quote=TheBobmanNH;1060934]How would a stove prevent you from lighting it with a match? Does it have some kind of electronic lockout on the gas valve? Interesting.
Yes, it pertains to those that have ( automatic ) lockout in case of power failure. Those without that feature aren't affected.

Bluebloods: America's Ruling Class

Post Content
Atleast 34 of the First 43 Presidents have been related to Englands King Alfred the Great (849-899) and Charlemagne (742-814), The famous Monarch of France. 19 Presidents are also related to England's king Edward III (1312-1377), who has a thousand blood Connections to Prince Charles.
George Bush and Barbara Bush are Both from the British aristocartic Line. Both George Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush (of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith) are descended from the same Pierce family of England as President Franklin Pierce.
Originally known as the enormously powerful Percy family of England, a name change to Pierce was required along with a quick immigration to America, when their involvement in the failed Gun Powder Plot to blow up The Parliament became known.
One of the Percy castles, where this plot was hatched was known as Sion House.
Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, who Opposed each other at the 1996 Presidential Election, are Distant Cousins.
They can trace their ancestry to England's King Henry III, who reigned from the 1227 to 1273 During the years of Templar Pre-eminence and U.S. Presidents, William H. Harrison and Bejamin Harrison.
Bill Clinton , has more far more royal blood than Dole and is directly desended from the same bloodline as the House of Windsor, every Scottish Monarh, and King Robert I of France.
George W. Bush and John Kerry are Related as Cousins As well as both being members of Yale's Skull and Bones .
Both Acknowledging their relationships with Gen. Douglas MacArthur and President Franklin D. Roosevelt; even infamous traitor Benedict Arnold and attempted presidential assassin John Hinckley Jr., have thick enough blue-blood roots to call themselves relations. Even to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, who is the ninth cousin of both men
"Well I feel closer to Senator Kerry," Hefner chuckled, over the phone from the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
The two candidates also have very distant links to Princess Diana and President George Washington.
Barack Hussein Obama, who many believe will become the 44th president, is kin to President George W. Bush, Senator Robert Byrd, Harry Truman and Dick Cheney.
And you can add John McCain to the list of royally descended…and descended no less than from the same Scottish king as Obama.
John McCain, the Republican presidential contender, and Barack Obama, his Democrat rival, are both descended from the same Scottish king.
According to research by an American genealogist, they share a common bloodline that can be traced to William I of Scotland, or William the Lion.
It was disclosed last year that Mr Obama was a descendant of the monarch who ruled Scotland from 1165 to 1214, and his background and upbringing spans the globe.
Senator McCain The former navy pilot and Vietnam veteran described his Scottish credentials in his autobiography, Faith of My Fathers.
He wrote that "the McCains, bred to fight as Highland Scots of the Clan McDonald, arrived in America shortly after it gained independence".
Gary Boyd Roberts, a senior research scholar at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, found that both Mr McCain and Mr Obama can trace their ancestry to Isabel, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion.
Mr McCain's family was traced back to his four-times great-grandparents, Hugh and Agnes McCain, who emigrated to Caswell County, North Carolina, in 1778.
Mr Obama's ancestor, Edward FitzRandolph, emigrated to America more than 100 years earlier.
Below is the list of presidents related to royalty:
· George Washington (descendant of Edward III of England)
· Thomas Jefferson (descendant of Edward III of England)
· James Madison (descendant of Edward I of England)
· John Quincy Adams (descendant of Edward III of England)
· William Henry Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison (descendants of Edward I of England)

· Franklin Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
· Gerald Ford (descendant of Edward I of England)
· George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush (descendants of Edward I of England and Afonso I of Portugal)
Not only are the ruling class related to royalty, but are related to each other.
Infact. The Presidential Candidate with the Greatest number of Royal Genes has Always been the Victor, Without exception, since George Washington.
What an Astonishing statistic!!! The same tribe which Controlled Europe simply expanded into the Americas and called it Freedom.
The United States has never been free of control from London. Indeed, it was the creation of London. Britain and the British Crown has always owned, yes owned the United States.

roof to wall flashing.
63 Attachment(s)
How do I flash the roof 2 wall transition. I'm rebuilding my portico. The way it was originally built, the first rafter was nailed on the shingles.
Is there a product that makes the roof 2 wall easy or do I need to bend a piece of aluminum and make it work somehow?
You can use the rubber flashing as a shield, but use Step flashing over the top to shed the water down and away. The only thing about the rubber flashing, is that you will have to remove some of the wooden siding to install.

I was going to put ice and water shield over the entire roof and run a few inches up onto the wall and then weave step flashing in with the roof shingles. Where I'm having trouble understanding is the first piece of step flashing. How do I keep the roof from draining behind the siding?
The Rubber flashing will shield it, along with the step. When you do the whole setup, it will go from bottom to top, with the next layer being over the edge of the next.

Ok, the kickout flashing makes sense. Is that a product that's available or is that something that is made on the site from step flashing?
Kick-out is made on site. If you do not have a Brake for sheetmetal, you will have to improvise.
It also can be made from a standard baby tin step flashing.
Take your tin snips and cut on a 45 * angle and bend the bottom portion upwards, so the sheet metal on the top portion overlaps the sheet metal on the bottom portion. Ice and Water shield behind the step flashings is also a good idea, especially since you will have the siding removed.
Can you make a kickout flashing using galvanized L flashing? I wasn't sure if it would rust since it was cut.
You can use Aluminum or Copper, then you do not have to worry about rusting.
If you use a copper step flashing in direct contact with aluminum step flashings, then the aluminum one will disintegrate from a "Galvanic" reaction.
Make sure you use compatible metals in direct contact with each other.
All I have access to is really thin aluminum step flashing. Can I cut a piece of galvanized metal for the kickout? I mean people use galvanized all the time and have to trim it to size.
Galvanized sheet metal is closer to aluminum on the "Galvanic Chart" than aluminum and copper are.
It is still two dis-similar metals and not hight recommended, but they will not have as an intense of a reaction as the copper has to the weaker aluminum metal.

I sounds like you need to use aluminum nails as well; is that correct?
Are there any pictures online on how to bend a kickout into shape?
I cut the 45 degree cut and placed a 2X4 block at the cut. I then just bent the metal around the 2X4 (not all the way). It worked for me.

MONDAY, May 5:
Washington University in St. Louis is hosting a panel discussion titled "Is The USA Becoming a Soccer Country?" The panel includes Sports
Illustrated's Grant Wahl, Clark Hunt, chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs, Dan Flynn, general secretary of U.S. Soccer, and ESPN soccer analyst Taylor Twellman. Michael J. MacCambridge, adjunct

Films' "30 for 30: Soccer Stories" series continues on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET with two films airing back-to-back: "Mysteries of the Rimet Trophy"
and "Barbosa: The Man Who Made Brazil Cry." The Jules Rimet Trophy, awarded to the World Cup champion, is the sports prize shrouded in the
most intrigue -- with the whereabouts of the original trophy unknown to this day. This film focuses on the great prize's first brush with crime -- a Nazi plan to steal the Rimet Trophy from
Italy during World War II. Goalkeeper Moacir Barbosa was widely considered one of the world's best goalkeepers, but everything changed during the 1950 World Cup, played for the first time in
Brazil. The blame for the 2-1 loss to Uruguay that cost Brazil the World Cup was mostly pinned on Barbosa.
WEDNESDAY, May 7:
MLS games are on tap, including a meeting between the Seattle Sounders, who have the best record in MLS, and FC Dallas. The Toronto FC and Vancouver
play the first leg of the 2014 Amway Canadian Championship semifinals. FC Edmonton hosts the Montreal Impact in the other game.

Open Cup kicks off with eight games, all involving amateur teams from the PDL, USASA, NPSL, U.S. Club Soccer and USSSA
THURSDAY, May
-- The U.S. women's national team travels to Winnipeg to face Canada in an international friendly. It will be Jill Ellis' second game in charge
since taking over as U.S. interim head coach following the dismissal of Tom Sermanni. Ellis is believed to be one of two finalists for the head coaching job along with Swede Tony Gustavsson, who is
the head coach of UEFA Women's Champions League finalist Tyreso.
SATURDAY, May 10:
The final weekend
before MLS players report to World Cup training camps features nine MLS matches -- five on Saturday and four on Sunday, Mother's Day. Eastern Conference leader Sporting Kansas City is at
Montreal on Saturday, while Seattle, the overall leader, is at New England on Sunday.
-- The Pacific Northwest is also a hotbed for women's
soccer, and a large crowd is expected at Providence Park for the NWSL defending champion Portland Thorns' match with the Seattle Reign, which is perfect after five games.
SUNDAY, May 11:
The English Premier League concludes
with "Championship Sunday," all 10 games kicking off at 10 a.m. ET. Ten different NBCUniversal networks will each be carrying a different match. Three teams
still have a shot at winning the title, and three other teams face the prospect of being relegated.

Carly Rae Jepsen Appearing on 90210 Premiere [VIDEO]
Carly Rae Jepsen makes her acting debut tonight by starring as herself in the season premiere of 90210 on the CW.
On the show, Carly will be singing her new song "This Kiss" while headlining for Adrianna's Las Vegas premiere just as some devastating news is delivered to Adrianna about Dixon. The shows season premiere airs tonight at 7p on the CW.
Now, it appears as if Carly's going to miss her own acting debut tonight because she'll be opening up for Justin Bieber's Believe Tour in Portland, OR tonight, but if she has satellite TV she could watch the east coast airing, or I bet she's already seen the episode!

Parade added to Knotweed Festival
It has overtaken the banks of the Conemaugh River, blocking the view from the Riverfront Trail and encroaching on areas around the bridge and train tracks.
But rather than complain about the highly invasive Japanese Knotweed — which was planted to stop erosion — Blairsville residents have instead created a festival, not quite in its honor, but more as a tongue-in-cheek celebration of the plant.
"We would love to get rid of it, but we can't," said Carol Persichetti, chairwoman of the Knotweed Festival. "Instead of complaining, we decided to have a festival."
This the second year for the festival, held by the Blairsville Community Development Authority.
This year's edition is set for Saturday.
New to the festival this year is a parade, which will kick off the activities at 10:30 a.m. on East Market Street.
There will be about 45 vendors, nearly double from last year.
A new booth, Knotweed Knovelities, will have a focus on items made from knotweed or related somehow to the plant, including knotweed soap, jam, tea and muffins, aprons and T-shirts, and painted pictures of knotweed on slate.
Other new events include a K-9 demonstration, a butterfly and moth exhibit, and a bee and honey demonstration.
Popular activities from last year will once again be offered, such as a scavenger hunt and nature walks on the Riverfront Trail, with a golf cart ride available to those unable to walk the trail on their own.
Entertainment is also planned, including the Diamond Dolls twirlers and All That Jazz dance group.
Children's activities include printing on cloth bags, face painting, story times and games.
There is also plenty of food on the menu, including the popular German food from last year, as well as new additions of Chinese food, pizza, apple dumplings, haluski, Italian hoagies and more.
While knotweed might not be very enjoyable, Persichetti said the festival will be. And it offers a chance to support local vendors, a number of which are churches, Scout groups and local organizations.
And Boy Scout Jon Graff will be in the process of building a new pavilion at the trail head, part of his Eagle Scout project.
The festival is not a fundraiser for BCDA, and groups retain the profit from festival sales.
A benefit bake sale will be held for Sharon's Restaurant and Lounge and Chaek's Window ice cream shop, both destroyed in a fire July 30.
The festival highlights the good things happening in Blairsville and shows just how far the town has come, Persichetti said.
"I think we've come a long way in the last few years," she said. "I'm proud of our little town, how the town looks, how it's improved every year."
And for those who haven't yet had the chance to see the Riverfront Trail, this is a good opportunity.
"It's a yearly celebration of the fact that positive things are happening in Blairsville," she said.

I am agree absolutely. And the solution is not so obvious as one can
expect. To change this behavour you need to modify the option
ImageSize inside Plot[] command. This option specifies the width of
the image in pixels when only one numerical argument is passed:
plot = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 6 Pi}, ImageSize -> 300];
And you can not control the size of the image with Graphics[Plot[],
ImageSize -> 300]. This does not work.

Arsène Wenger believes that Thierry Henry's electric display in the 5-1 win against Inter Milan in 2003 was one of his greatest in an Arsenal shirt.
The French striker scored twice and claimed two assists as the Gunners inflicted the heaviest defeat the Italian giants had suffered in 47 years of European football.
While Wenger says that Henry should be proud of that performance at the San Siro, he believes his display against Real Madrid in 2006 rivals it.
"It was one of his best performances, but I think the best goal he scored was in Madrid," he said.
"That was a very difficult goal to score. To resist the defenders and finish the way he did you need absolutely everything - calmness, strength, power, technique - and he combined it all in that goal. Thierry can still deliver that.
"[Beating Inter] was our most emphatic win on an Italian ground against a team who have a reputation for defending well. It was a good achievement."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Asian markets mostly fell in New Year's Eve-shortened trade on Monday as hopes that US lawmakers will reach a deal to avert the fiscal cliff faded just a day before deadline.
However there was some bright news out of China, where a survey by HSBC showed manufacturing activity hit a 19-month high in December.
Hong Kong closed flat, edging down 9.67 points to 22,656.92, but it closed out the year 22.91 percent higher.
Sydney closed 0.48 percent lower, shedding 22.4 points to 4,648.9, although the index is up 14.60 percent over the past 12 months.
Wellington was 0.35 percent lower, shedding 14.39 points to 4,066.51, but adding 24.51 percent for 2012.
Singapore closed down 0.77 percent, or 24.72 points to 3,167.08, while it is up 19.68 percent for the year.
Shanghai closed up 1.61 percent, or 35.88 points, at 2,269.13, its highest close since June 20.
Kuala Lumpur added 0.45 percent, or 7.62 points, to close at 1,688.95, while Mumbai was flat, edging down 18.13 points to 19,426.71.
Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Jakarta, Bangkok and Manila were all closed for public holidays.
Despite the losses on Monday all the region's stock markets ended the year higher, with Bangkok the standout performer, surging almost 36 percent, while Shanghai was the weakest, adding a little more than three percent over the 12 months.
Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill ended Sunday without reaching a compromise over a deficit-cutting budget that would be less painful than the deep spending cuts and tax hikes due to take effect on Tuesday.
Leaders remained locked in talks that appeared to be making little headway, with each side blaming the other as analysts warned the measures could tip the economy into recession.
Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that despite through-the-night talks, negotiators were still a long way from success, with Democrats not responding to a "good faith offer" from his party.
Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid agreed talks were at a standstill, adding: "There is still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue."
If talks fail on Monday President Barack Obama has demanded a vote on his fallback plan that would preserve lower tax rates for families on less than $250,000 a year and extend unemployment insurance for two million people.
But Stan Shamu, a market strategist at IG in Sydney, said he expected some sort of plan to come out.
"No one knows how this will play out, but the most likely scenario is a patch-up deal to avoid a fiscal catastrophe in the New Year," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
Despite the US fears the euro eased to $1.3191 from $1.3217 in late US trade Friday, but the dollar rose to 86.03 yen from 85.98 yen. The Japanese unit continued to be weighed by expectations the country's central bank will unveil fresh monetary easing measures next month.
The euro bought 113.50 yen from 113.62 yen.
News out of Beijing was better, however, with banking giant HSBC saying its final purchasing managers' index (PMI) of the year hit 51.5, up from 50.5 in November and a fourth straight month of improvement.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the key sector, while one below signals shrinkage.
The figures reinforce recent indications that the world's second-largest economy is finally emerging from its slumber.
"Such a momentum is likely to be sustained in the coming months when infrastructure construction runs into full speed and property market conditions stabilise," Qu Hongbin, HSBC's chief economist for China, said in the release.
On oil markets New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in February, shed 48 cents to $90.65 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for February slipped 59 cents to $110.03.
Gold was at $1,664.64 at 1055 GMT compared with $1,658.90 late Friday.

Once back to the house, wash the sand off your feet in the outside shower while taking in the 180 degree view of Lake Superior. Enjoy the 1600 sq foot reclaimed deck just outside the beautiful kitchen and a pantry with all the extra ingredients and spices you may have forgotten. Build a fire with firewood provided in the stone fireplace or lay in a bean bag and pick a book to read from the stocked bookshelves in the loft. Lake Superior Barn has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 3 showers built from the reclaimed lumber, steel and nails of 7 turn of the century Minnesota barns. The game room has radiant concrete heat to warm your toes as you play ping pong, foos ball or lounge on the couch to watch a movie. The Lake Superior Barn is a unique and rustic experience.
On the 320 acres of forest, there are trails through the woods and bridges over Haukkula Creek that flows the length of the property. Camp over night in the authentic, 400 sq foot canvas tipi within view of the house. Pick raspberries and wild strawberries in the summer or snowshoe the woods and trails in the winter... either way, you will never encounter another person on the private and secluded land. End the day by building a fire while overlooking Lake Superior and watch the summer sun set over the hills of Duluth.

One of the most bizarre phenomenons over the past few decades has been the emergence of so-called "safe spaces" on college campuses. The term's Wikipedia page lists it as "referring to a space for individuals who feel marginalized to come together to communicate regarding their experiences with their perceived marginalization, typically on a university campus," but in reality they're spaces where leftist ideologues can escape conflicting ideas.
The New York Times told the story on one of them last year, when Katherine Byron, a senior at Brown University and a member of its Sexual Assault Task Force, considered it her duty to make Brown a safe place for rape victims, free from anything that might prompt memories of trauma.
So when she heard last fall that a student group had organized a debate about campus sexual assault between Jessica Valenti, the founder of feministing.com, and Wendy McElroy, a libertarian, and that Ms. McElroy was likely to criticize the term "rape culture," Ms. Byron was alarmed. "Bringing in a speaker like that could serve to invalidate people's experiences," she told the New York Times. It could be "damaging."
The safe space, Ms. Byron explained, was intended to give people who might find comments "troubling" or "triggering," a place to recuperate. The room was equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies, as well as students and staff members trained to deal with trauma.
Yes – what sounds like parody has been made into a reality by the Left.
And following Donald Trump's victory, liberals panicked, realizing they need a bigger safe space.
College students across the country are now demanding that their schools be converted into sanctuary campuses to protect illegal immigrants from President-elect Donald Trump's vowed crackdown on immigration.
At Harvard University, for instance, "concerned" students and faculty presented a petition to the elite school's administration in which they "urgently demand that you directly support our undocumented students."
Among the demands are calls for the hiring of a "full-time Assistant Dean under the Dean of Diversity and Inclusion" whose sole objective will be to "support the undocumented/DACA-mented students at the college."
Additionally, the ultimatum orders Harvard's administration to "establish a distinct budget for undocumented students" to "cover fees associated with immigration-related legal proceedings," and to hire "a mental health professional" to work with "marginalized communities."
Finally, Harvard students and faculty call on their administration to "proclaim Harvard Memorial Church" a member of "the network of sanctuary churches that provide refuge for students facing deportation proceedings."
Can we deport the students supporting this insanity? One can only wish. Share if you agree.

MIRA EDGERTON, DDS, PhD personal profile
Oral candidiasis, a superficial mucosal infection in which Candida albicans is the predominant species isolated from infected areas, has become an increasing health issue. Incidence of oropharyngeal candidiasis has risen dramatically in the past twenty years due to increased antibiotic and pharmaceutic drug use and longer survival of people with compromised immune systems and cancer patients. Oropharyngeal candidiasis is so frequently associated with AIDS that it is a criterion for staging progression of disease.
Increased use of azole and polyene drugs to treat candidiasis in AIDS and cancer patients has resulted in emergence of Candidal species with antifungal drug resistance, especially to azole-based drugs. Mortality from systemic C. albicans infections in immunocompromised patients is nearly thirty percent, even with aggressive treatment with antifungal drugs. These data point to a pressing need for improved drug therapies or means of enhancing innate immune mechanisms in immunocompromised and cancer patients.

Mack Recalls 44,000 Trucks Over Faulty Lights
ALLENTOWN, PA — Mack Trucks is recalling over 44,000 trucks because of a possible failure of the hazard warning lights, causing reduced visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Mack is recalling trucks manufactured Feb. 28, 2006 through Nov. 8, 2013 that are equipped with the Hamsar Electronic Flasher: 2010-2014 CHU, CXU, and MRU; 2007 CT and CV; 2008-2014 GU; and 2011-2014 LEU, and TD.
The company will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electronic flasher unit, free of charge. The recall will begin by mid-June 2014. Mack's number for this recall is SC0379.
The truck maker is recalling another 490 model year 2014-2015 CXU trucks manufactured Feb. 1, 2013, through Jan. 27, 2014 that are equipped with a vertical wet tank, also known as a supply air tank, for the brake system.
In the affected trucks, the pressure relief valve may not have been installed in the tank during manufacturing. Without a pressure relief valve, the air tank could rupture from being over-pressurized, increasing the risk of injury.
Mack will notify owners, and dealers will install a pressure relief valve in the air tank, free of charge. The recall will begin by mid-June 2014. Mack's number for this recall is SC0380.
Mack's third recall applies to more than 1,300 model year 2010-2015 CXU trucks manufactured Nov. 20, 2009, through Jan. 27, 2014, and equipped with dual vertical exhaust pipes.
These vehicles might not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment" because the exhaust pipes could be blocking the white reflectors at the rear of the cab. A blocked reflector makes the truck-tractor less visible when operating the vehicle without a trailer in the dark and so increases the risk of a crash.
Mack was scheduled to begin the recall this May. Dealers will inspect the trucks and if the reflectors are blocked, they will add two vertical white reflectors to the rear glass, free of charge. Mack's number for this recall is SC0378.
Owners of trucks can contact Mack customer service at 1-866-298-6586.

The Konica Minolta Big City Classic kicks off Saturday at 1PM at the New Meadowlands with three marquee matchups in the all-new stadium. We'll be providing wall-to-wall coverage all weekend from the shadows of Manhattan, so follow along.
Saturday, 4PM | Game Link
The opening of ESPNU's coverage at the event, lax fans have been waiting for this one with baited breath, as it is the second 1-vs-2 matchup of the season. Virginia has already survived one such challenge this spring - topping Syracuse at Klockner Stadium in early March - but North Carolina hasn't played in such a contest since April 6, 1991.
Both teams are undefeated at 10-0 with UNC taking wins over ranked (at the time of the game) Navy, UMBC, Duke, Princeton, Maryland and Johns Hopkins and Virginia taking Stony Brook, the Orange, Cornell, Hopkins and Maryland.
The Tar Heels have been led by a great balance, both on offense in general and between the offense and defense. Billy Bitter has 31 points (15G, 16A) with Sean DeLaney (20, 7) and Thomas Wood (19, 9) leading in goals, with four other players (Gavin Petracca, Marcus Holman, Jimmy Dunster and Cryder DiPietro) clocking in with more than 10 points thus far. Wood and DeLaney are questionable for this one after missing last week with injuries (We should have some updates on these things at some point today from the practices at the New Meadowlands). Their defense has allowed just 6.3 goals a game with Michael Jarvis, Ryan Flanagan and Charlie McComas holding down the close work in front of junior goalie Chris Madalon.
Virginia has scored more goals than the Heels (14 per game) and allowed more (7.6). Chris Bocklet has been the leading finisher with 30 goals and Steele Stanwick has been the quarterback, dishing 19 times to go with his 16 goals. The midfield, predictably, has been great for the Wahoos, with Brian Carroll (16, 8), Shamel Bratton (10, 8) and Rhamel Bratton (15. 1) all clocking great starts to the year. Adam Ghitelman has stopped 53% of shots in net, with an athletic group of poles in Ken Clausen, Matt Lovejoy and Ryan Nizolek with LSM Bray Malphrus.
There isn't much more to say about this one… Everybody's looking forward to what should be an epic battle on ESPNU at 4PM.

Justice Institute condemns alleged baton attack
– Rohee says await all facts
Even as the Justice Institute Guyana yesterday condemned the alleged baton rape committed on Colwyn Harding and the PNCR made a monetary donation, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee urged all to await the facts before rushing to judgment.
Rohee, in response to questions from the media on the issue at the weekly PPP press conference said everyone should await all the facts that would be based on reports that would come out officially. "I am all for the reports to be made public so that people could draw their own conclusion," he said.
Rohee told the media that the DPP's view on the matter will be critical.
The PNCR said in a statement that a monetary donation was made to Harding's the mother. The money, the release said, was presented by APNU Member of Parliament and PNCR General Council Member Annette Ferguson.
Leader of the PNCR, David Granger, according to the release, said the donation was a first step, and was intended to assist the family with transportation and other basic needs. Granger said the PNCR will continue to pay close attention to the welfare, well-being and safety of Harding and will continue to offer support to him and his family.
The Justice Institute Guyana says that it condemned "unreservedly" the brutal attack allegedly made on Harding and called the health minister's statement on the matter "improper". A press release issued yesterday said the Justice Institute was deeply concerned at the failure of the state to show adequate concern for Harding's well-being and his dignity as a human being. "We deplore
the fact that Mr Harding was shackled to his hospital bed and had to suffer the indignity of waiting for colostomy bags rather than having the bags immediately to hand," the release said adding that Justice Institute calls for an immediate and independent investigation into the treatment received by Harding at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
"In view of the alleged cause and severity of his injuries, the state must do the decent thing and pay for Mr Harding to receive further treatment at a hospital of his choice by doctors of his choice, until the truth can be established," the release said.
It added that Health Minister Bheri Ramsarran had attempted to attribute Harding's injuries to a hernia. "The minister's interference is improper, has undermined public confidence in the statements subsequently made by the doctors of the Georgetown Public Hospital and has regrettably provided a basis for public suspicion of a cover up," the institute said.
It went on to say that the statements reportedly made by the Commissioner of Police and his attendant officers were unhelpful and provide a basis for further public suspicion that there is "insufficient commitment on the part of the Guyana Police Force to establish the truth" noting that the Commissioner has to ensure that the truth is established.
It was noted too that it is imperative that the Minister of Home Affairs acts immediately to reassure the public that the state will not seek to avoid responsibility for any wrong doing. "The Justice Institute therefore requests Minister Rohee to make an immediate public statement condemning any acts of violence by the police and confirming that there will be an independent investigation to establish the truth of Mr Harding's experience," the release said. The Justice Institute also requested that Rohee make a statement setting out the steps he will take to appoint and lead a committee of senior officers and civilians, identified to the public, and task them with the responsibility to receive, record and investigate thoroughly and transparently any future complaints of violence made against police officers.
"It is time to remove the perception that rogue police officers are immune from prosecution and that acts of violence by police officers are invariably covered up by other police officers. The public needs protection, and Minister Rohee must take the lead," the release said.

Senior Executive Editor Brian Sheetz gives you an exclusive look at an entirely new firearm, really a completely different shooting platform – SIG Sauer's MPX. Sturm, Ruger & Co. has expanded its M1911 pistol line, and this week we shoot the SR M1911 Commander. Before Remington introduced the legendary Model 870 shotgun, there was a series of pump-actions that included the Model 17A, and this week we shoot the vintage Remington 20 gauge.

Cadillac CTS Models and CTS History
Achieving less than successful results with the European-derived Catera, Cadillac started from scratch in the creation of the mid-sized luxury vehicle to brand needed to lure younger customers. The result was the 2003 CTS furnished by a radical, new Cadillac design language. The mid-sized sedan debuting in 2003 was a rear-wheel drive was immediately greeted as a breath of fresh air from a brand that was believed to have lost contact with modern luxury through the closing decades of the 20th century.
Built for serve as an entry-level luxury car, the CTS also featured a stout suspension and high-performing brakes for responsive handling. The 2003 Cadillac CTS was powered by a 220-horsepower, 3.2-liter V-6 engine that could be paired with either a five-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox. The following year, a higher output 3.6-liter was offered on the sedan generating 255 horsepower. A high-performance alter ego to the sedan called the CTS-V was also introduced in 2004 with eight-cylinder engine power. A manual gearbox incorporating six gears was available for the first time in 2005. Also in 2005, the 3.2-liter engine was replaced with a 2.8-liter powerplant producing 210 horsepower.
In 2008, the CTS received a substantial styling refresh accented by reshaped headlight housing using LEDs and a taller, more prestigious looking front grille. Possessing the same wheelbase as the previous model, the 2008 CTS was slightly larger in overall length. The powerplant for the Cadillac CTS also underwent a major overhaul in 2008. Featuring gasoline direct injection technology, a 3.6-liter V-6 engine developed 304 horsepower. All-wheel drive was provided as an option to CTS buyers with the redesigned sedan. After 2009, the Cadillac CTS line-up expanded adding a new sport wagon as well as a coupe.

Pizza del Lattaio
Serves 8
If you feel the way I do about potatoes, you are definitely going to fall in love with this simple recipe.
One tip: Save the water used to boil the potatoes, cool it, and use it to make the dough, which will come out even more delicate and delicious. This pizza can be served hot or at room temperature as a first course or appetizer, cut into small wedges and passed around as an hors d'oeuvre or retrieved from the pantry as a midnight snack. Any way you do it, it's equally delectable.
Lattaio in Italian is "milkman," which in this case, I suppose, refers to the fact that there's lots of dairy (three types of cheese) in the recipe. The Asiago and fontina are two lovely semi-hard, fairly mild cheeses from the north, near the Alps. Asiago comes aged anywhere from two to nine months or more; like the pecorino cheeses, it becomes harder, sharper-tasting, and more suitable for grating as it ages. This recipe also features a potato dough, which, along with the three cheeses, gives it a really subtle and irresistible flavor medley.
1-1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 ounces Asiago cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
3 ounces fontina cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Freshly ground black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves only
2 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water until they are easily pierced with a knife. Drain them, mash a quarter of them into a bowl, cut the remainder into small cubes, and reserve.
To make the dough, dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Combine with 1/4 cup of the olive oil, salt, and the mashed potatoes. Stir in the flour a little at a time, adding just enough to make a dough that does not stick to the sides of the bowl. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 to 5 minutes until it reaches a smooth consistency. (This can also be achieved in an electric mixer with the dough hook.) Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a wet towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
Roll the dough out into a large circle 1/8 inch thick and about 15 inches in diameter. Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet, sprinkle with the Asiago and fontina, and top with the cubed potatoes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top of the pizza, then sprinkle it with fresh pepper, rosemary, and Parmesan. Cover again with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 25 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, place in the oven, and bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Tebow Cancels Church Appearance After Media Firestorm
Tim Tebow announced on Twitter that he will no longer appear at First Baptist Church of Dallas after it caused a national uproar among journalists and gay marriage supporters. The announcement blindsided church officials and led some Christian leaders to wonder if Tebow was appeasing those who don't support the biblical definition of marriage.
"While I was looking forward to sharing a message of hope and Christ's unconditional love with the faithful members of the historic First Baptist Church of Dallas in April, due to new information that has been brought to my attention, I have decided to cancel my upcoming appearance," Tebow wrote in a series of tweets Thursday morning. "I will continue to use the platform God has blessed me with to bring Faith, Hope and love to all those needing a brighter day. Thank you for all of your love and support. God Bless!"
Tebow did not elaborate on what that "new information" might have been.
But sources close to First Baptist Church tell Fox News the NFL quarterback cancelled his appearance in part over the uproar surrounding the church's position on traditional marriage.
Robert Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Church, has been an outspoken leader in the nation's culture wars – affirming from the pulpit traditional marriage and salvation through Jesus Christ.
The national media labeled Jeffress as anti-gay and anti-Semitic – charges that were vehemently denied by the pastor, the church and many national religious leaders.
Tebow's decision has been met with praise among the nation's gay and lesbian community.
"He was smart to cancel," wrote Wayne Self, a prominent blogger of LGBT issues. "Tebow has never been a serious theologian or moral arbiter, but instead a popular evangelical Christian. But being associated with such a virulently anti-gay pastor would only tarnish his image."
Jeffress told Fox News that he received a telephone call from Tebow last night informing him of the decision.
"He explained to me that because of things going on in his personal life and his professional career – that he really needed to avoid controversy right now," Jeffress said. "We are disappointed."
Afterwards, Tebow sent the pastor a text message saying that he wanted to pray about the decision before making it final and would contact him Thursday morning.
Instead, Tebow tweeted news of his decision without notifying the church – a move that caught the pastor off-guard.
"To me, the real issue here is the controversy this has generated," Jeffress said. "It's amazing that a church that believes faith alone in Christ is what saves a person and that sex should be between a man and a woman in a marriage relationship – that somehow those beliefs are considered hate speech? That is historic Christian doctrine for the past 2,000 years."
So did Tebow cave in to pressure from gay activists?
"People are going to have to make up their own mind about that," Jeffress said. "The Bible hasn't changed. Culture has changed and that's why our beliefs are now considered hate speech."
Jeffress said Tebow felt badly about cancelling.
"He felt pressured," Jeffress said. "It was a very affable conversation. I think Tim is a wonderful Christian and we are not going to disparage him at all for this."
But others believe Tebow not only put the church in a difficult position – but also validated concerns by gay activists.
"Tebow put the church in a tough spot," one source told Fox News. "His decision basically validates the unfair attacks being made on First Baptist Church of Dallas."
Denny Burk, a cultural commentator and professor at Boyce College in Louisville, Ken., said Tebow's decision is a significant event for the nation's Christian community and could serve as a troubling bellwether.
"This moment will appear to many as another marker of Christianity's cultural marginalization," he wrote on his website. "In the broad tolerance of views in our public discourse, who's in and who's out? What voices are allowed in the cacophony that is American democracy? Which voices should be excluded? Christian voices have long been a part of the din but moments like these make it seem like those days are coming to an end."
Other evangelical Christians are wondering if Tebow has denounced his Baptist-upbringing – knowing that the teachings at First Baptist Church of Dallas are traditional beliefs shared by most Southern Baptist churches.
"Is he now going to say that Baptists are wrong on the issues that Dr. Jeffress preaches about?" the leader told Fox News. "If so, is he going to denounce his own faith and become a Unitarian Universalist or a religion that teaches that all other religions are equal?"
