All the way from Palma Soriano, the former political prisoner of conscience Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia is informing that more and more anti-government signs keep propping up throughout that municipality and many other areas of Eastern Cuba. In the case of Palma Soriano, Ferrer explains that one of the spots where the most signs have surged has been in "the neighborhood known as Nueva Palma, and because of this the political police feels the need to blame someone". In this specific occasion, the police has chosen to blame Daniel Quezada, a young dissident who has been detained (for this reason) in a dungeon of the Castro regime for one week now. In fact, Quezada has chosen to carry out a hunger strike in demand of his liberation.
Although Quezada is being accused of authoring the signs and putting them up, Ferrer Garcia points out that while he has been in jail "the signs keep popping up". Quezada is being held in the National Revolutionary Police Unit of Palma Soriano and, according to various testimonies of dissidents who have recently been released from that punishment center, he has suffered a number of brutal beatings due to his pro-democratic posture.
Meanwhile, Ferrer Garcia has informed that three members of the Resistance and Democracy Movement (affiliated to the Patriotic Union of Cuba) have also been arrested. They are Rogelio Tavio, Niorvis Rivera, and Elmes Figuera who were all arrested by the political police this past Friday, March 2nd, while they were at the home of Tavio.
The arrest took place after these three did not allow the Cuban G2 (State Security) to use their children for acts of repudiation against non-violent dissidents. According to Twitter messages published by Jose Daniel Ferrer, the whereabouts of Elmes Figuera are unknown but it has been confirmed that Rogelio Tavio has been taken to the provincial prison while Niorvis Rivera is being held in the Imias Unit.
"According to the political police, two of these activists will be processed", said Ferrer. Those two are Tavio and Rivera, both under the accusations of 'public disorder and for attempting against child development'
Meanwhile, a dissident from the UNPACU- Juan Carlos Vazquez Osoria– was violently arrested this past March 6th as he was traveling from Moa to Palmarito de Cauto. Osoria was detained until March 8th. Within the past few months, Osoria and has wife Anni Sarrion Romero have suffered countless acts of aggression at the hands of Cuban state police. In fact, Sarrion has been beat, threatened, and suspended from her job just for publicly demanding freedom for Cuba.

More Representation of Black Faculty at York University sign now
Calling for a Response to the Sociology Canada Research Chair in Race and Racialization
We the York University Black Graduate Student Collective and our supporters are writing to express concern about the hiring process for the Canada Research Chair (CRC) (Tier 2) in Socially Engaged Research in Race and Racialization in the Department of Sociology at York University. Specifically, we are calling for greater transparency with respect to the evaluation of candidates and justification for the nomination of the successful candidate. Lastly and most significantly, we call for York University to address the under-resourcing of faculty members who do work in the area of Black Studies by hiring a professor in Black Studies through a Canadian Research Chair located in the Department of Sociology.
The Department of Sociology at York University recently ran a competition for a CRC (Tier 2) in Socially Engaged Research in Race and Racialization. Though the position is advertised as beginning on July 1 2015, the successful candidate has yet to be publicly announced. However, it has come to our attention that a qualifed Black female Canadian candidate who specializes in Black Studies and anti-colonial studies was not offered the position. Instead, it was awarded to a male international candidate whose expertise is primarily in ethno-religous studies. Recognizing that, in the Sociology Department specifically and at York University more generally, there is a paucity of faculty who research Blackness and Black people, not selecting the Black female Canadian appears to us as a curious one. This is especially confusing for a CRC in the area of race and racialization given the aforementioned dearth of faculty to support such research.
Until York University begins to address the limited representation of Black professoriate, it is continuing its long trend of devaluing Blackness and the contributions of Black people to the University. Through neglect, York University is actively stifling the work of Black and other graduate and undergraduate students who would benefit from having greater access to such professors. These actions can be seen as nothing less than anti-Black racism. We have identified this trend of anti-blackness at York University and speak out against it in solidarity with the recent #studentblackout movement happening on campuses both in the United States and Canada. The movement has brought to light the nature of hiring practices and University cultures that exclude black people both at the student and faculty level.
The York University Black Graduate Students' Collective can be reached by email at email@example.com.

Player Contracts — Working with Paul Riker of Fan-Exchange.com, we have added contract information for nearly every active player in the major leagues. Roy Oswalt, Adrian Gonzalez and J.A. Happ, for example, now have information at the top of the page below their bio information like 2011 contract status, service time (through end of 2009), contract summaries with options included, earliest FA and Arb-eligibility, and their agents.
This data also appears stretched out on the Player Salaries section at the bottom of each player's front page. So you can now see just how much Ryan Howard has coming to him in 2015.
On the Team Payroll and Roster Pages (NYY, PHI, ARI) we show the current contract status of most of the players with the team, especially those signed to long-term deals. At the bottom of these tables, we have tried out best to summarize the team's financial situation in future years, and using our "SHARE" tool (which appears above every table on the site–just click it to start) you can generate tables like this to add to your blog, newsgroup, forum, etc.
Here is the White Sox payroll page and the salary section of Alex Rios' page.
That's a very useful feature. Thanks B-R!

Call it a blessing in disguise.
I got a flat tire on the highway the other day. The experience was terrifying, especially considering that I drove on the rim for much further than anyone should have.
I took my car into the shop and found out that in addition to needing a new tire, my shocks are completely worn down and my front bumper is coming apart.
In short, I'm lucky that I got the flat when I did. It could have been deadly.
But repairing the damage will cost me nearly $500.00.
I have much more than enough saved away to pay for it, but even so…
Do you have anything that needs to be edited? I will gladly edit for a reasonable price. I do all kinds of work. I once even edited a one-page letter to a congregation of a church in Iowa for a few dollars.
Just drop me an email at kate.mcculley [at] gmail.com. I'll give you an estimate.
Thanks. 🙂

The Affordable Care Act has had its fair share of opposition from CEOs. The latest edition is John Mackey, the founder and CEO of Whole Foods. Recently, he has come out against the ACA, calling it "fascism."
"In fascism, the government doesn't own the means of production, but they do control it -- and that's what's happening with our health care programs and these reforms."
Mackey, a libertarian, compared Obamacare to "socialism" in a Wall Street Journal op-ed he penned in 2009. Obamacare would "move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system," he proclaimed.
Although Mackey certainly has the right to state his beliefs, this does not seem like a smart move for his business, which relies heavily on a more liberal customer base. He seemingly didn't learn from Chik-Fil-A's S. Truett Cathy, who's statements on gay marriage created a firestorm that would end with a mea culpa. The lesson: smart businessmen do not alienate customers.

Chlamydia (say "kluh-MID-ee-uh") is an infection caused by bacteria. In many cases it is spread through sexual contact. It's treated with antibiotics.
In men it can cause burning when you urinate and infection of the long, tightly coiled tube that lies behind each testicle and collects sperm (epididymis). In women it can cause infection of the cervix and a pelvic infection that can be serious.
Other types of chlamydia infection are not transmitted sexually. These types can cause a serious eye infection, especially in babies, and pneumonia.

"Balance is implicit in the Red Road. When you're on the Red Road, you are in the center. Yet, you do not go to either extreme, and you allow both sides to exist. This is accomplished by continually postponing surrendering to temptation, whatever it may be. It is saying `later' instead of `no.'"
–Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA
The Sacred Path of life has a middle, a left side, and a right side. As human beings, we are designed to walk this middle path as much as we can. As we walk, we will stray to the left and to the right and come back to the middle. Straying to the left or right side is as sacred as being in the middle. Sometimes we call this straying our mistakes. We are designed by the Creator to walk the Sacred Path of life, and realize that our mistakes are the source of lessons. These lessons give us our wisdom. It is not wrong that we are tempted. What matters is what we do with the temptation.

Well, I'm not that new. I started making stuff around a month or two ago. I'm mainly concerned with the preservation of Marathon as a video game. That's why I made xBR Monsters for M1, seeing as how it was the only game in the series to not have HD Monsters, aside pfhrom the third-party scenarios.
If I had to rank all of the Marathon games, it would go something like:
Marathon 1 > Marathon 2 > Tempus Irae > Pathways Into Darkness > Rubicon > Infinity > Phoenix > et cetera
Truth be told, I don't like Marathon: Infinity as much as the pfhirst two, for me, it was kinda lacking the humor that made the pfhirst two enjoyable. The level designs to me pfhelt over-designed, and based off of speedrun pfhootage (aperturegrillz), It looks like it's too damn long. I don't pfheel like getting past the pfhourth or pfhifth level, and that is with the Electric Sheep jumps. The drive to pfhinish some of the third party scenarios like Rubicon and Phoenix are shared as well. I think Phoenix is the best Marathon game in terms of gunplay, but other than that, it's Marathon schlock. Rubicon is the 3rd prettiest Marathon game, the 2nd being Eternal, and the 1st being... well, Marathon. That said, it isn't and never was and never will be Marathon IV. I could go on and on about how I pfheel about every Marathon game, but we would be here pfhorever.
Reading 'pfh' probably gets annoying. So, as someone who wants to preserve and "modernize" Marathon, what should I do next?
I could always make more xBR stuff. My algorithm and process still works. I was thinking about taking every texture in Tempus Irae and running it through. Then I would also have xBR Weapons for MInf AND xBR Monsters for MInf. The issue here is simply demand.
That, or I could do "xBR Sounds". It's always bothered me how the people who think sound design in a video game is sacrosanct are the same people who download and play with HD textures. I always wanted if I could to make an "HD Sounds.sndz" file for M1. I realize that nothing like that has ever been tried before, and when I'm gone, it probably will never be tried again. The issue isn't finding a good source of the sounds, it's making new sounds that are respectful towards the originals and follow the same vision as the original creators had in mind. And then putting them into a package that doesn't give you blue outlines.
I dunno. I'll probably be too lazy to do either. Anyways, do people here have a scheduled playdate every month? I used to be part of FCAW, but that is dead. It saddens me that netplay is probably gone forever because no one wants to get online and play, or rather, no one wants to get online and tell ME that they want to play. LOL. If I could just play netplay one more time, I'd be a happy man.

For years the land of Stradion has lived under the rule of the King and his army of mages. Under their control the land has become horrid beyond compare. Bandits openly travel the roads, paying off the knight that had once sword to protect the common people. Dark mages and monsters come through villages, destroying them or capturing them for food or cruel experiments. With each passing day the hope of the people burns lower and lower, and if nothing changes then the people of the world will fall to their hopelessness.
Thankfully there are those who would stand against darkness, willing to fight against the tyranny of the King and the darkness of the land. Members of the Rebellion seek to bring an end of the wicked rule, fighting tooth and nail and putting their lives on the line for a common goal, freedom.
Are you willing to step forward and take arms for the Rebellion?
Welcome to the world of We are the Rebellion, a fantasy roleplaying game where players take on the role of members of the Rebellion, fighting for the people against both the King and the various monsters of the land. The game takes place in a steam/magicpunk type setting, allowing for use of muskets and steam powered tanks. Characters will need to travel to many different cities, gaining the trust of the people until they are willing to turn to the Rebellion and remove the King's control from the area. With each captured city new weapons and options will be opened.
Character Sheet
Weapon: (Steam/Magicpunk. You can have something within those bounds, but don't go to crazy)
Class: (Describe what your character is best at. Are they great at sword fighting? A monster hunter? Maybe they are a crafty mage or thief. Maybe they are an inventor, capable of creating and using various weapons. Or a doctor. Up to you, just pick something which best describes them))
Spells: (give a brief summary of the types of magic your character uses, if any. Maybe they practice rituals for curses or blessings. Or maybe their spellwork is more on the blunt side with elemental forces.)
Bio: (brief character history)
Etc: Anything you think might need to be added.

The premium X-E2 has new firmware today, and it brings X-T1 performance to the viewfinder and an array of nice improvements to an already great camera. I wish all manufacturers paid this much attention to their older models (are you listening, Panasonic?)
Here is the official text from Fujifilm Canada
Firmware v.2.00 brings even more value to the premium X-E2 with
performance gains and new functions
Mississauga ON, April 30, 2014 – As a leader in advanced digital camera technology and outstanding image resolution, Fujifilm Canada today announced a significant new firmware update for the FUJIFILM X-E2 that gives customers improved performance, added functions and outstanding value.
With the release of the new firmware, the X-E2's electronic viewfinder (EVF) is further improved and now has a lag time of just 0.005 seconds, considered by many to be close to a "Real Time Viewfinder." The firmware also enhances the frame rate of the viewfinder and the highest frame rate is maintained even in low light conditions or nighttime photography, providing smooth live view images through the lens.
In addition to the performance improvements, the new firmware adds:
Selectable colours in Focus Peak Highlight
Users can now select Blue or Red in addition to the original White, to highlight areas of strong contrast. The strength of the colour display can be also adjusted between High and Low according to the type of your subject or personal preference.
Added options for Fn (Function) buttons and customizable AE/AF buttons
Users can now assign the "Face Detection" and "EVF/LCD Setting" selection options to two function buttons and two customizable AE/AF buttons in shooting mode. When set to "EVF/LCD Setting," the button is used to switch between four modes, including "Eye Sensor Mode" (automatically switches the EVF and LCD displays when the user's eye comes close to the viewfinder), "EVF Only," "LCD Only" and "EVF Only + Eye Sensor."
Suppressed Flash option
Once the firmware is updated, a Suppressed Flash mode (where the flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit) can be selected from the flash menu.
With the addition of the new firmware, the FUJIFILM X-E2 continues on its promise to deliver picture quality that rivals full-frame cameras with high definition image capture, Fujifilm's legendary colour reproduction and category-leading speed.
The new X-E2 firmware is available now and can be downloaded at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/.

Should your soda come with a warning label? In California, it could soon — just like on the back of a pack of cigarettes.
The bill was proposed by state senator Bill Monning, and would add the tag "STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay" to the backs of the drink."
So, what do you think? Is the label a good idea? Would a warning label make a difference in how much soda we drink? And, if your soda does come with a warning label, should other foods and drinks also follow suit?

It seems not everyone is upset about the delayed international launch of the iPad.
In a preemptive move to protect the sovereignty of wireless networks in the Holy Land, the Israeli government has banned the import of Apple's latest must-have gadget.
Perhaps learning lessons from AT&T's iPhone experience, Israel cited concerns that the iPad would hog wireless networks and unfairly affect other devices.
Israel's iPad complaint centers around an Apple design component. Apple designed the iPad to comply with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission Wi-Fi standards, which allows products to broadcast at higher power levels than in Israel. Israeli officials says the higher frequency could disturb the connection of other devices.
The ban may not last. Israeli officials are studying the iPad to see if it complies with local transmitter standards.

My anus is bleeding, my spoon is too big, silly hats only & I am a banana!
"My first Halloween Pumpkin. Inspiration from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" by Tim Burton."
"Characters from the Naruto series. Many sharp objects were used, but this year (2006) I found the wood carving tools very useful."
"All Pumpkins are Carved/Shaved with Woodcarving tools not painted. The black and grays are created from sharpies and pumpkin white space.
My friends and I started a Pumpkin Carving contest in my home town which has since branched out and was held at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket Mass last year.
Here are some of the Pumpkins I did for my personal home display."
"Another pumpkin carving season passes. For the first time I entered a contest. The Blizzard pumpkin contest is impossible... I didn't even place in the top five. It's going to take a while to recover from this one... I know it isn't perfect, but I was hopeful. I guess I'll have to step it up a lot for next year."
"This is my carved pumpkin from Halloween 2007. I submitted it to the "Guilt 'O Lantern" contest and took second place!"
"First pumpkin of 2007. Also submitted for joystiq.com carving contest (although I was halfway done when I found out about it)."
"This is a cake I've been wanting to do forever but only recently had time to do it. If you don't recognise it immediately, this is Majora's Mask from the game of the same namesake.
This was definitely a bit of a challenge. By far, the hardest part of the cake to achieve was symmetry. Using a floppy, sticky substance that dries quickly in the air, stretches when lifted and cracks if manipulated too long means you need to work fast. Fast and accuracy aren't best friends. My sister scoffed as I complained about the imperfections. But you gotta strive for perfect, right?
Well, it isn't perfect. But overall, I'm uncharacteristically pleased by the final result. The last few cakes I've done I've started to feel like I'm the boss of the fondant, rather than it controlling me. We understand each other now and so it's not this stressful battle of wills. The result is an ability to create things I wouldn't have dreamed of doing a year ago. There's lots here that could be improved, of course. But it's a work in progress and I, finally, am able to see progression."
"Bitch, you can't just carve yo self up a Meatwad jack-o-lantern and not invite ol' Boxy Brown to the party. Whazzat? I AM invited? You daaaaamn right."
"My (now ex) boyfriend made this pumpkin, but because I took the picture, I'm submitting it as art. That, and Aperture Science is way-awesome."
"One of my habits is to write down all the crazy, fleeting ideas I have, then go back to review later rather than judging right off the bat, or even worse, forgetting them. Earlier in the month I was looking through that idea notepad and found "Make Tetris Pumpkins" from sometime last year. My original plan had been to make forms to shape pumpkins into Tetris pieces as they grew, then stack them together for Halloween. Since Halloween was only a few weeks away and it was too late to start growing pumpkins, I thought "Why not make a pumpkin you can play Tetris on instead?"
"If you've never seen a website, you are a liar! (You're on one right now.) Consciously or not, the first thing you notice when you visit a website is how the site LOOKS, which is controlled by the CSS Stylesheet. CSS is the fashion of the web- it makes sites pretty (or very very ugly). And as our lives migrate more and more onto the world wide web, our presence online becomes a central way to define and express ourselves. So before you lay out your outfit for tomorrow, take a look at your website and make sure you match!"

The Gunners were stretched by Slaven Bilic's well-drilled outfit, who almost took the lead right from kick-off through a long-range effort by former Chelsea striker Demba Ba.
However, crucially Arsenal held out and could have netted a crucial away goal themselves but for some poor finishing by Olivier Giroud, while substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain watched his shot touched onto the post in the closing stages.
Ramsey - who scored a stoppage-time winner against Crystal Palace on the opening day of the new Barclays Premier League season - was dismissed for a second yellow card with 10 minutes left when he was ruled to have pulled back former Arsenal midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup
Arsenal, though, will welcome back German World Cup winning trio Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski ahead of next week's second leg at the Emirates Stadium, when they will be out to secure a remarkable 17th successive campaign in the lucrative group stages of Europe's elite club competition.
Despite leaving Istanbul with a positive result, Wenger was less than impressed by the overall performance of Serbian referee Milorad Mazic, who sent Besiktas boss Bilic to the stands just before full-time.
"Neither the first nor the second yellow card was deserved for Aaron Ramsey
When you see some of the fouls that have been made tonight and we go home with Ramsey (given) a red card, it is a bit unbelievable," said Wenger, who also confirmed he had reported to UEFA an object thrown at him as he left the pitch at full-time.
"In the second half the performance of the referee was very bad.
"Ramsey's second yellow card, I cannot see where that comes from, it was a huge decision.
"I felt just a lot was wrong in the second half but, overall, it was a difficult game maybe to referee as well because everybody did fight for every ball, so maybe it was not easy for the referee as well."
Nevertheless, Wenger was happy enough to have seen his side leave undefeated, if counting the loss of captain Mikel Arteta to an ankle injury.
"It was a difficult match, played at a high pace
Besiktas played with 100 per cent pace in the game and did fight for every single ball, and it was quick
We needed a great level of concentration," he said.
"We are maybe still a bit short physically in some situations, but overall it was a game played for 90 minutes at great pace."
Wenger continued: "We always want to win but look, Besiktas could have won the game, and we could have won the game as well
Maybe a draw is a fair result because both teams had chances to win the game.
"We know the second leg will be certainly tight again, but we play at home, so the task is clear for us, we want to win."
Arsenal have been linked with a £15million move for Olympiacos defender Kostas Manolas, to cover the departure of captain Thomas Vermaelen.
Wenger, though, insisted a deal was not imminent.
"I have nothing special to add on that at the moment
Honestly, we are not close to signing anybody," he said.
"We are a bit short at the back, yes.
"I am worried, but we should have Mertesacker and Ozil and Podolski available again at the weekend, so let's hope they are in good shape when we go home."
Bilic is confident he will be able to lead his side at the Emirates Stadium, having apologised for his indiscretion.
The former West Ham and Everton defender said: "I don't know the rules, but I see no reason for me not to be in the dug-out in London
If that was a reason, many coaches would be missing from the dug-out.
"I have apologised
I made a mistake
Maybe I overreacted in that situation when he stopped the game we were in a good position, two against one.
"He just showed me the way (off)
After the game I apologised to him and to Mr Wenger
No hard feelings or whatever."
Bilic hopes his men can lift themselves for a big performance next week.
"We are going to London not to go shopping in Harrods, but to try to fulfil some would say our dream, I would say our task, our plan," he added.
"We are big time alive, though
I am really optimistic."

Almost there!
DVE started their coverage of the game at 6. They just said on the news that the steelers players showed up at the stadium wearing #44 jerseys supporting LeBeau that he would be in the hall.
It's great to see Ben back on the field, the team is out warming up now. Im so excited...and it's only preseason !!
I got my beer and I'm ready to go!
I even used a vacation day tomarrow at work.
I wonder if the rain will curtail some of the starters playing time; with a slippery field comes more a risk of injury, especially on an unfamiliar field.
Anyone else just hear that Anthony McFarland (DT) of the Colts is out for the season with a torn ACL? What will that do to that defending SB defense?

Firefighters battle fire and ice
Small emergency can lead to injury as temperatures near zero
The firefighters from Milwaukee Fire Battalion Two were on the move to a kitchen fire on Thursday. With temperatures falling near zero degrees, even a small emergency can lead to an injury.
VIDEO: Extreme cold tough on fire crews
"We're faced with ice," said Lt. Kevin Hafemann. "Obviously we didn't have to lay a line and start flowing water, but at this point just getting over the curbs, driveways, all the ice melt is a trip hazard alone for the firefighters going in."
Firefighters said there are risks when driving on snow- and ice-covered roads, but the real danger faces them once they step outside the truck.
"You can slip anywhere -- inside the house, outside the house, on the ladders, on the roof," said Lt. Tim Leszczynski.
In bitter cold, the water used to snuff out flames can turn to a frozen hazard quickly.
"We can never shut our lines down completely because the nozzles will freeze," Leszczynski said.
Firefighters said they try to be as careful as they can to not fall and get hurt.
"We have a lot of problems with hydrants in the bitter cold," Leszczynski said.
The spray of water often coats firefighters in ice.
"A whole night of it, it might wear on you by the end of it. Day-to-day we love what we do," Leszczynski said.

Many questions about bread chemistry and technique
first, I am very grateful to all here on TFL, for your comments and help. Thanks to you I could prepare my first sourdough starter and bake some successfull sourdough (and also yeasted) breads. However, as the information are rather scattered and sometimes seem contradictory, I am still a little confused and unsure regarding my bread making.
I will try to formulate some questions I still do not understand, if anybody could help. Well, they are not modest - I apologize. They have just accumulated over time - please do not be angry with me...
1) Why should only bulk fermentation affect the final flavour of the bread?
- What is the difference between the flavour from sourdough vs. from simple pre-ferments (poolish / biga or long fermentation of a stright dough (either by retarding in the fridge or by using less yeast)?
2) Should the amount of yeast be ajusted when I planned to retard the bulk ferment overnight?
- should the amount of sourdough in pure sourdough breads be different with and without overnight (or even 24hours) retardation?
3) isn´t the long room-temperature fermentation of no-knead recipe too favorable to protease acitivity? How it happens that it is not detrimental to the final loaf? And in ABin5/HBin5 it says that it is not important whether the dough doubles, or triples or fall beyond its peak, whether it rises 2 hours or 5 hours... - is that "lege artis" bakery?
4) Should the starter be refrigerated immediately after the feeding, 1-2hours later or let to double, then deflate and refrigerate? How does one know that a refrigerated starter is ready for use (building the final starter)?
- Should a low protein white flour (10.5%) or a higher protein flour (11.7%) be used to feed the starter?
- I know some people who "successfully" use a 4-day old starter (they always start a new one when the need) and their bread rises well. How is it possible?
- Is a firm or wet starter more suitable for fridge storing? (I bake app. 3x a week)
5) what is the rule of thumb for choosing the suitable oven temperature? Some recipes call for 350 or 375°F (even for lean breads) other for 420 or 450°F (even when a small amount of fat an sugar is used).
- Are the pan breads always baked at a lower temperature?
- Why is it OK to bake even a high hydration bread in the oven in a covered dish but in a bread machine, when the dough contains just a little bit of water than cca 60%, the loaf falls in the middle?
6) are the special steps to be taken when using whole wheat? I have heard about more kneading needed or, on the contrary, more gentle and shorter kneading? Or are S&F better?
- can any dough with 60% hydration and more be worked by French Folding instead of kneading (in a mixer or by hand - I do not have a mixer a have pain when kneading)
I will appreciate any comment!

Miscellaneous thoughts about miscellaneous matters
I was thinking about how the U.S. economy would go from the upswing that Trump takes credit for to the Even Greater Depression that his trade war will bring on.
Trump should be separated from the claims of strong economy, and he could be thrown out of office and not have a chance of re-election, and he may have undone himself with the additional tariffs. I wasn't expecting the stock market to tank for a considerable time, as it happened during the 1920's. I'm not the only one who
Updated 06-09-2019 at 02:05 PM by PeterL
Wars are examples of diplomacy failing. Trade wars are one form of war, and they can be a harmful as shooting wars. The Great Depression was caused by a trade war, and we may have a similar event in the near future.
The history books dont have much about it, but there nearly was a shooting war between the U.S.A. and the UK in the 1920s. London had been the primary center of international finance since the Seventeenth Century. Debt and equity were issued and traded there more than

Michael Jackson Death Certificate Released
July 7, 2009
Michael Jackson's death certificate was filed today with the Department of Health Services in Los Angeles. It's signed by Los Angeles County deputy coroner Cheryl MacWillie, and lists the cause of death as "deferred." You can see a copy of the death certificate at TMZ.
While Jackson was embalmed at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, the cemetery was listed on the death certificate as only a "temporary" location. Jackson's body was not returned to Forest Lawn after today's memorial service at the Staples Center. So where is the King of Pop? On his way to a crematorium? Or perhaps the family is waiting for the return of Jackson's brain prior to burial. It was removed during the initial autopsy and sent for toxicology tests. Maybe the family still hopes to bury Jackson at his Neverland Ranch, if the proper permits can be obtained. Nothing ever seems to have gone smoothly in the singer's life or . . . or death.
La Toya Jackson is listed as the informant for Jackson's death certificate. His race is listed as black, with the King of Pop's occupation listed as musician and the type of business listed as entertainment. Jackson's residence was not listed as 100 North Carolwood Drive in Holmby Hills where he died in a rented home but, rather, the Jackson family compound on Hayvenhurst Ave. in Encino.
When last seen after today's Staples Center service, the Jacksons were eating lunch at the Beverly Wiltshire Hotel.

Brothers & Sisters, On 01/11/20 at 6 p.m. a fundraiser will be held in support of Jason Trombly (a member of North Central FOP Lodge #33) and his family. Jason was recently terminated from his position as a Sergeant with the Simsbury Police Department following an investigation. As a result of the investigation that was conducted Jason was terminated.
Hartfor Courant Op-Ed by FOP Lodge #33 Secretary
I am a police officer, and I have been angry. For months, I have heard the attacks on my fellow officers. I have seen the media and the Al Sharptons take common criminals and turn them into martyrs. I have seen people who have never worn a badge or put their lives on the line comment on police procedures.
Your Mental Health & Wellness
For 29 years I lived a fairy tale life. I was married to my best friend and husband, Paul. We began dating when we were 17 years old and were married at age 22. We had two wonderful sons, Jared and Benjamin and a precious dog named Frosty. We had no money problems, no family issues; we didn't smoke, drink or gamble; we laughed and loved each other; we took family vacations and enjoyed each other's company. Life was great. Then, on March 12, 2013, my fairy tale life ended. My husband of 34 years died by suicide. Suicide; it's a terrible ugly and taboo word, especially when it happens to an LEO. How could this happen to someone like Paul? You may also be asking why I'm sharing this personal story with the world. My sons and I are not ashamed or embarrassed by Paul's story. It's a story that is real and can happen to the best LEO's. Does the life I describe sound like someone who would take their own life? It's time to break the silence. Paul was an East Hartford Connecticut Police Officer for almost 24 years. He was a well-respected and dedicated officer. He was a friend to all. During his years of service he received a meritorious service citation, lifesaving citation, and many commendations. He was also awarded "East Hartford Police Officer of the Year" in 2008. He spent most of his career was in patrol, working midnights. He was the kind of police officer that you would want to be stopped by. He made friends with the bad guys; they often asked for him. As with all LEO's, he saw the worst things in the world such as car accidents, drunk drivers, dead people, dead babies, murder/suicides, and even watched a teenager who was stabbed die in his arms. He also lost a fellow officer, Brain Aselton, who died in the line of duty. When Paul started his career he had perfect health. Paul suffered from some depression and anxiety but nothing that could not be helped through his family practitioner with medication. He also suffered many health ailments incurred after many years on the job – hypertension, lower back problems, sleep apnea, etc. During the fall of 2012, the job that Paul had inside the department as desk/fleet/scheduling/court officer was becoming too stressful. Paul reached out to administration by writing a letter about the position and how difficult the job was becoming as responsibilities were continually added. He asked for a change in his work schedule and said "…I am willing to work with anyone to make this position more reasonable." He asked "If this position can't be modified per my request I would like to be permitted to return to patrol for next year's bid which starts on February 2, 2013." No one responded. Without his knowledge, while away on vacation in September, his position was posted and shortly after Paul returned to midnight shift on patrol. Still, no one from administration spoke to him about the position and the stress he was feeling. During the fall of 2012, I watched as my husband struggled with depression and anxiety. Paul needed help. Without knowing where to turn or what to do, he called Employee Assistance Program and made an appointment with a psychiatrist. He was given a meditation handbook and referred to a nurse practitioner who would handle his medication. This psychiatrist knew nothing about LEO's. Paul never went back. Paul continued to struggle. He was sleeping more, losing weight, and beginning to feel like a failure. He felt ashamed; he was supposed to be this strong police officer and yet here he was struggling. He told me "I have everything a man dreams of, why do I feel this way?" In December 2012/January 2013 he began to see a new psychiatrist and was actively taking medication. He was diagnosed with Panic Disorder/PTSD related to the job. January 2013 – While working midnight shift, Paul responded to a chaotic scene, an apartment fire where babies were being thrown from the windows and people were jumping. He was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. He told me "It was like 9/11; people and kids were everywhere screaming. I can't do this job anymore." February 2013 – Paul took one month off from work. There were some good days where he "looked" OK. On other days, he talked about work and how stressed he was and that he couldn't do the job anymore and it was killing him inside. We talked about the possibility of retirement, disability, and quitting. Retirement was so close (July 2014) but yet so far away from Paul. He wouldn't let me take him to the hospital because he was embarrassed that people may know him there and he feared he would lose his job. March 2013 – A permanent position was made inside the department for Paul and he returned to work. On March 12, 2013 Paul died by suicide at the East Hartford Police Department. Paul left two notes, one at the police department and one found at home. He said "….make my death an issue so you can get help for other people like me." "I wish I could tell people that every time I think of work I get stressed out and anxious but if I told them I was suicidal I would be out of a job." This is why my sons and I are on a mission. We need to help others and make changes in the way law enforcement looks at depression/anxiety/panic disorder/PTSD. The stress of the job is real and it exists. Suicide is not an act of cowardice but one of extreme stress and a measure of last resort to end the pain and suffering. One cannot "snap out of it" and the best way to stop suicide is to destroy the current culture where police officers cannot admit they are human. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. There needs to be more training and peer support. Administration needs to understand the stressors that each officer faces. EAP didn't work for Paul. I hope that you will help me fufill my husband's last wish which was to make his death an issue and help others. Please take the time to view the personal video of Paul's story. My husband, who was this kind, caring, and loving person truly bore the pain of those he protected and served. The video can be viewed on Youtube "Breaking the Silence of Police Suicide". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyVQMH-Pfws Please, also, take a few minutes to view the movie trailer on Code 9 Officer Needs Assistance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO01Qeg15KU It is a film that is being produced to help law enforcement officers survive the rigors of their stressful careers. It explores the darker side of law enforcement. It is powerful and real. Let's work together to break the silence. Trish Buchanan is the widow of East Hartford, Connecticut Police Officer Paul S. Buchanan Badge Number 208 who died by suicide on March 12, 2013. She seeks to bring light to the subject of police suicide by talking about it. Trisha is an executive assistant in a Hartford Connecticut suburb and the proud mother of two sons. Her current passion is working to establish a 5-K First Responder run in Officer Buchanan's memory. Trish's strong faith has sustained her through this terrible time in her life. You may reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com If you, a loved one, a subordinate, or a colleague is experiencing problems like Officer Buchanan, help is available 24 hours per day at Safe Call Now 206 459 3020.

Did you know that about half of the world's people ñ more than 2.5 billion adults ñ do not have a bank account?
The World Bank arrived at that estimate recently, according to this Bloomberg Businessweek article. Many of these people live in the communities CFCA serves.
Poverty and a lack of required documentation are some reasons why many of these families have never even set foot inside a bank.
"It's very rare for sponsored friends and their families to have a bank account of their own," said Jose Rodriguez, CFCA project director for Colombia and Bolivia.
Sponsored children, the aging and their families usually live and work within their countries' informal economies.
Their income is often seasonal and comes from cash-based, small-scale sources.
Sponsorship and microfinancing
In some countries such as India and Kenya, sponsorship benefits in some projects are distributed through bank accounts to the mothers of sponsored children.
Because these children are under 18, their mothers manage these accounts under the supervision of CFCA staff until the children are of age.
"These bank accounts become tools for families to save and access sponsorship benefits," Jose said.
CFCA staff members help families get the required documentation such as birth certificates for the sponsored child.
(Related link: Read more about the challenges of obtaining birth certificates in Kenya.)
Bank accounts can also facilitate CFCA livelihood programs, which are designed to help families generate sustainable income for themselves.
(Programs may include skills training, business development training, access to loans, savings to create a loan fund, income-generating activities and individual empowerment to help members develop livelihoods based on skills.)
Capital to launch these livelihood programs are often provided through savings and loan cooperatives created by sponsored friends and their families.
In order to access those micro-loans, however, the parents of sponsored children often need to have bank accounts.
By opening these bank accounts, Jose said, families are seeing their active, participatory role in the sponsorship program. Meanwhile, CFCA staffers are affirming their position as supporters to the families, assisting in their development.
Jose said bank accounts are a tangible way of restoring dignity to mothers as they join a part of society they've historically been excluded from ñ the "banked" society.
"To be able to say to that mom, 'Here's your bankbook,' that's really powerful for everybody, I think," Jose said.
"This is sometimes the first time those moms have even gone into a bank."'
'Faces of CFCA' for June
For the month of June, we'd like to highlight this photo in our "Faces of CFCA" Facebook photo album!
Tom Zidon, right, met Selena on a mission awareness trip to Nicaragua in 2009. She is now one of his sponsored children!
To submit your photos to be included in our Facebook album, simply email a .jpg photo file (the higher the resolution, the better) to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Include your name and your preferred form of contact (phone, email, etc.) in case we have any questions about your submission.

It's been gangster movie festival here at St. John's Infirmary lately.
First, the Godfather trilogy of course; followed by Pesci and DeNiro in Casino with Sharon Stone; then, Goodfellows with that knockout Ray Liotto performance. I branched out with the Coen Brothers' Millers Crossing, but came right back to the good stuff with Pacino and Depp in Donny Brasco and then Nicholson, DeCaprio and Matt Damon in The Departed. Just when I think I'm out, they keep sucking me back in and Public Enemies found its way into the DVD player.
I'd like to get out of the house and do something. Maybe go to the mall and see Inception for something different. Uhmm. There's a bit of irony in that sentence, but I can't quite parse it out. Maybe some reader like RebL will be able to help me with that.
I complained in the last post about what a stick figure I've become, but to be honest I just don't feel like eating in this 100 degree and humid weather we've been having. By the way, does this hot weather mean that Al Gore is still fat but that climate studies are maybe just a little right? I keep getting mixed up when I don't watch Glen Beck every day and need someone with mainstream thinking to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
Read an interesting piece about how the radical right is now interpreting the Constitution in the same way religious fundamentalists treat the text of the New Testament. Who knew John Calhoun would take the place of Elijah in legal thinking? I can't get over this 10th Amendment talk from the Tea Party folks. I suppose they slept through that whole 1860-1865 week in high school U.S. history. Maybe they had the flu or the dog ate their homework. That's the ticket, as some SNL guy used to say.
I'm really sorry I missed Lady GaGa in town. No, really. I would have liked to see that show. In fact, I would have liked to be the guy who confirmed her gender up close and personal. I might be a sick old guy, but I'm still a sick old guy. Speaking of newer singing acts, will the fact that Pink fell mean that from now on, it's after the fall?

The Daily IKN email digest, get all daily posts sent to you next day (& no ads)
You can achieve anything you want in this world...
...as long as you're willing to let somebody else take the credit.
Thus ends the IKN post-Friday close cryptic thought of the day. If you hadn't guessed already, it's for one specific person.
Junior miner NR of the day...
...comes from Garibaldi Resources (GGI.v) and is thanks to sharp-eyed reader J who spotted this section and was then kind enough to send in the heads-up to IKN Nerve Centre (road-trip branch):
Do you kinda get the feeling they're after the neophyte retail section of the investment community? Yeah, me too.

Your humble scribe will spend the rest of this working week away from the comfortable office environment, visiting other places, meeting other people, doing other things. Posting on the blog will therefore be light.

Poem in October
Dylan Thomas, 1944
It was my thirtieth year to heaven
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood
And the mussel pooled and the heron
Priested shore
The morning beckon
With water praying and call of seagull and rook
And the knock of sailing boats on the webbed wall
Myself to set foot
That second
In the still sleeping town and set forth.
My birthday began with the water-
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name
Above the farms and the white horses
And I rose
In a rainy autumn
And walked abroad in shower of all my days
High tide and the heron dived when I took the road
Over the border
And the gates
Of the town closed as the town awoke.
A springful of larks in a rolling
Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistling
Blackbirds and the sun of October
On the hill's shoulder,
Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenly
Come in the morning where I wandered and listened
To the rain wringing
Wind blow cold
In the wood faraway under me.
Pale rain over the dwindling harbour
And over the sea wet church the size of a snail
With its horns through mist and the castle
Brown as owls
But all the gardens
Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales
Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud.
There could I marvel
My birthday
Away but the weather turned around.
It turned away from the blithe country
And down the other air and the blue altered sky
Streamed again a wonder of summer
With apples
Pears and red currants
And I saw in the turning so clearly a child's
Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
Through the parables
Of sunlight
And the legends of the green chapels
And the twice told fields of infancy
That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mine.
These were the woods the river and the sea
Where a boy
In the listening
Summertime of the dead whispered the truth of his joy
To the trees and the stones and the fish in the tide.
And the mystery
Sang alive
Still in the water and singing birds.
And there could I marvel my birthday
Away but the weather turned around. And the true
Joy of the long dead child sang burning
In the sun.
It was my thirtieth
Year to heaven stood there then in the summer noon
Though the town below lay leaved with October blood.
O may my heart's truth
Still be sung
On this high hill in a year's turning.
About that Casey Crash Report
It's the same failed theory as always. It's peddling fear. It's not going to happen.
And as explained here on September 3rd, Casey's been peddling this very same stupidity since at least 2008, probably much longer and has been proven wrong, time and time again. Now he wants to you buy his proven incorrect economic theory for $19.95. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me four hundred and sixty four times, die poor.
Just as a minor example of this dumbass's advice, if you'd swallowed his line on September 3rd you would have bought silver to protect (term used very loosely) yourself against a stock market downturn, with Doug Casey calling it "excellent value" and agreeing with the Casey Research metals expert (another one used loosely) who said at the time he was loading up on silver bullion. Chart please!
Nicely protected there.
And by the way Doug, your copywriters make factual errors, dumbass. TLT didn't hit all time highs last week.
Chart of the day is...
Fruta del Norte
Tonight's NR means Kinross (K.to) (KGC) has closed the book on its Fruta del Norte (FDN) snafu by rescuing a little of the money it spent there. The basic need to know is that K wrote down a total of $730.1m from its little excursion into Ecuador back in 2013 and has now sold its rights to (what will be) Lundin Gold for $240m in cash and shares. A big loss yes, but a) it'll be another "blame it on Tye" moment and b) as FDN had been written down to zero tonight's announced deal means 21c/ share has just been added, as if by magic, to the K balance sheet. Current assets, too.
And 21c isn't a bad number when your share price has been knocked down to U$2.90.
As for Lundin, let's wish 'em luck. They'll need it.
Petaquilla Minerals (PTQ.to) news
Those of you versed in Spanish that would like to know more about what's really going on inside Petaquilla Minerals (PTQ.to) should click through here and read this most interesting of posts, written by an anonymous insider at the mine.
Meanwhile, those of you who don't have enough Spanish and would like to know more about PTQ should learn some Spanish.
The Brazil election: Checking in on the IKN prediction
a) Last week IKN gave you this post on Oct 13th entitled "What happens in the Brazil second round run-off election in the next two weeks".
b) Up to and including point 6 of the 10 point roadmap, we've been prettty darned close so far.
And what is point six, you ask? Ok, here's the re-print:
6) At some point next week, maybe Tuesday 21st or Weds 22nd, the Bovespa will drop heavily as the plug is pulled on the speculative pump and profits taken by the people who read Brazil correctly, instead of relying on wishful thinking.c) So let's see how the Bovespa is doing today, Tuesday October 21st:
C'mon, admit it, that's a good call.
So, now check point eight of that post last week.
Tuesday Tune: The Prodigy; Voodoo People
Click play and turn up the speakers, IKN guarantees it to be a decision you won't regret.
Kickass track! Silly Video! Oldskool! Run Away!
Gold Resource Corp (GORO) 3q14 production
Well, I laughed:
And that's before you notice that GORO calculates its 17,200 oz AuEq number from a 1:65 gold/silver ratio. Come on guys, tell me how that works, considering you used 1:67 in 2q14 and the ratio's gone higher since then?
Another rule of juniors: When faced with "unexpected challenges" the joke companies will always revert to bullshitting you. They can't help it, it's the way they're founded, built and operated, they're run by liars and thieves.
Chart of the day is...
Strange how all those "Zn to the Moon Alice!" shillers have all suddenly and collectively STFU, is it not? Another example of the most important part of metals and mining punditry: Listening to the silences of these blowhard idiots is far more important than listening to their interminable and useless noise, the ones that go quiet when things don't go their way are the ones to ignore.
Buy or build your copper mine: Not a dilemma
Let's take two recent announcements as our baseline:
- Lundin pays $1.8Bn for 80% of the Candelaria copper mine in Chile. Last year it produced 169kt Cu.
- NGEx Resources wants you to buy and then build Los Helados in Chile. Still at PEA stage, you'd need to spend $4.3Bn as well as wait several years (five's absolute minimum, and it's more like ten) before you get your copper, which would come at a rate of 115kt/year.
This is not difficult mathematics people, even when you take into account the longer mine life that Los Helados would bring to the table. Los Helados today is a money pit, anyone buying it will have to commit $5Bn to its future and on top of that, pray the Chinese still want to buy plentybigstuff copper in 2025. Candelaria throws off free cash flow from the very moment you sign off on the deal and what with the streaming deal LUN has done on the precious metal credits, the commitment here is a billion. Same metal, roughly same production rate, same country.
Who in their right mind is buying exploration companies with big copper deposits when the tier 1 miners will accept offers on what they've already got?
NGEx Resources (NGQ.to) PEA
News release here. IKN's thoughts here.
I can think of better things to do with $4.3Bn, and that's putting it mildly. End.
Eric Sprott reaches the seventh age of man
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Eight people and counting have already sent me that "Eric Sprott thinks ebola will make silver price go up" article. No I'm not linking it, find it yourself.
Words fail me, though it does fit in with the way he trusted Frank Callaghan of Barkerville Gold and passed over a whole load of cash to him. How the mighty do fall...
UPDATE: Nine. That's more than enough by the way, if you didn't get the hint.
UPDATE 2: Market Narrative picks up on the story and runs with it. Runs much farther than IKN. Runs faster and runs better. Go see the post here, if only for the guffaws and yoks.
Today's news release
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2014) - Moose Pasture Resources (TSX VENTURE:MOOS) announces that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with an undisclosed third party in regards to its flagship property. Under the terms of the LOI, Moose Pasture is set to give away just about all the potential upside in return for enough cash to cover its accounting bills for 2014 which allow the company to limp into 2015.
Anne Elk (Miss), President & CEO of Moose Pasture commented on the LOI by saying, "We are obviously fucked as a company, but at least this way I get to play at boss for a few more months and you never know, gold might pop by $300 an ounce and save us all. Anyway, I found these suckers who'll pay our G&A in the meantime and managed to convince them that our shitty piece of land might be worth something".
Chart of the day is...
