Ladies, I just made a lemon ricotta cheesecake and am wondering if it would freeze well. Would anyone know ??
Yeah, it should. If you do freeze it, take it out a day ahead of when you need it to thaw.
Thanks Robert - It is a lower in fat cheesecake and I am skeptical of how it might do with being frozen. Only one way to find out though, lol
I should of made it closer to when I needed it but I got such a burst of energy on the w/e that I baked and baked and baked some more, lol
Woke up on Saturday and made a banana bread, then a carrot cake, then red velvet cupcakes, the lemon ricotta cheesecake and then apple pie. Last evening, I made a regular lemon cheese cake and a blueberry lemon sauce to go over top the cheesecake. I am bringing the regular cheesecake into work tomorrow and the other I plan to serve this coming w/e.
Time for a rest, lol
You do realize, of course, that we're eating at your house from now on!!! :pound
lol - come on over :)
Anyone that knows me will say that my door is always open and I love to cook!! I like trying new recipes all the time so someone is usually my taste tester. Not always a great idea to try something new with company but I figure if it flops, there is always pizza, lol
I've never frozen a ricotta cheesecake but I think it should freeze very good. I'd wrap it in foil.
I'm like you Kathy, I love to cook and I enjoy cooking for people most anytime! Hubby likes to help me alot. He is a good cook on his own.... makes fantastic gumbo and jambalaya.
Kathy, why are you freezing the cheesecake if it's for this weekend? Cheesecakes improve with aging.

Anath - I normally make a cheesecake the day before I need it and have never made one this far ahead, lol .............. There is never any leftovers to freeze and so don't know how long a cheesecake would keep in the fridge. So, how long would a cheesecake keep sitting in the refrigerator?
Kathy check this out:
How Long to Keep / Best Way to Store Cheesecake, Homemade Or Bakery-purchased — Freshly Baked | StillTasty.com - Your Ultimate Shelf Life Guide
It says it keeps for up to 1 week in the refridgerator and 2 to 3 months in the freezer.

Jesus the Α & Ω
Thanks Longing ........ that is good to know. I usually don't have anything left over or if there is, I give it to someone to bring home with them as I don't need the added calories.
I have only in the last year acquired a taste for cream cheese where I can actually manage to eat a slice of cheesecake. I never ever liked it growing up and as much as I made cheesecake for a function or at someone's request, I never had any myself.
Well I learned something new...lol. When I make my cakes, I let them age for 3-4 days and then we eat it for about a week. I didn't know they weren't supposed to stay in the fridge over a week
Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Can the Cardinals Repeat as World Series Champions?
The St. Louis Cardinals look to begin their title-defense today when they kickoff the regular season against the Miami Marlins.
Today's Major League Baseball's official Opening Day, considered by thousands of St. Louisans as an unofficial holiday. And while the St. Louis Cardinals' home opener is really where it's at, that's not stopping us from getting into the baseball mood!
There's no shortage of story lines for the 2012 Cardinals as they look to defend last season's World Series Championship when the season kicks off today against the Miami Marlins.
The team is missing perhaps three of its biggest names of the past decade in manager Tony La Russa, pitching coach Dave Duncan—both of whom retired—and, of course, Albert Pujols, who signed with the Los Angeles Angels.
Former Cards catcher Mike Matheny is the new manager. And the Redbirds will look to fill the void left by Pujols with a handful of new and familiar names.
Baseball Prospectus, a website dedicated to sabermetric analysis, has the Cardinals winning 89 games and winning the National League Central this season. And ESPN's Power Rankings rates the Redbirds as the ninth best team in the league.
How many games do you think the Cardinals will win this season? Will they make the playoffs?
Do you think Chris Carpenter will make a difference this season? Can Adam Wainwright contend for the Cy Young?
And what about the offense? Will David Freese continue his torrid 2011 playoff pace? Can Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman make up for the absence of Albert Pujols?
Joe Scott
8:18 am on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
I think that depends on one thing: health. The year already hasn't started off well with Carpenter, Furcal and Craig on the DL or ailing. You've got Wainwright coming off surgery; Berkman, Holliday, Beltran and Freese with histories of injury issues. None of that would matter if the Cards still had a certain first baseman. Without Pujols, it matters. Even so, I think they battle through and make the playoffs. How far they go depends on how healthy they are at season's end--or if Mo can pull off some season-saving deals the way he did last year.
Ball Hawk
10:44 am on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
UNfortunately, the odds on favorite to win the 2012 World Series is, alas, the Anaheim Angels because, after all people, this is an individual, not a team sport and where Albert is, goes the Championship .... (do you think he'll have anything StL on at his Hall of Fame induction?) .....
Candace Jarrett
8:45 pm on Friday, April 6, 2012
In the most recent ESPN magazine, he at least gave STL its props, but said it was a business decision. I don't think he's enough to turn around the Angels.
Joe Barker
1:01 pm on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
How good the Cardinals do this season really depends on health. If the team stays healthy, there is no reason they shouldn't be in the playoffs.
Thomas J. Stein
2:33 pm on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Well, the season will start without Chris Carpenter, Rafael Furcal and Allen Craig, who are all on the DL, and that's a sure sign of trouble for the Cardinals. Also, recent history is not on the Cards' side. After winning the World Series in 1964, 1982 and 2006, the Cardinals finished BELOW .500 in each of the seasons that followed (1965, 1983 and 2007). I don't see why 2012 should be any different than '65, '83 and '07. My prediction:65-97 (sixth place in NL Central), and worst in the NL. Mike Matheny will NOT last an entire season as Cardinals manager. Guaranteed.
Jason Wescoat
4:06 pm on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
'64 is recent history?!? I'll give you 2006, but half the team now wasn't even alive in '82 either. Of course, in 2006 we were a terrible team (83 wins if memory serves) that got hot at the right time. In 2007, our best pitcher missed the season.
This team has a much better chance of doing well, if, as the Joe's have mentioned, we are healthy. If we're not healthy, we might just be terrible.
There's no way Matheny will get fired during his first year unless all heck breaks loose. I don't care if they do end up in 6th in the Central, he's got a leash of at least a couple of years while they bring up the young kids to replace the old dudes.
Gregg Palermo
4:33 pm on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
I put the over/under at 94 games and go from there. I have to say I'm already tired of the "how will they do without Pujols, Duncan, LaRussa" angle, and we haven't even started the season. Having said that, I can't remember a team being better prepared for handling this kind of scenario, or at least not being compromised enough to just fall apart (depending on Carpenter's health). Is that saying more about Milwaukee (No Fielder, Braun in the post-testing controversy, etc) and other league rivals than it does St. Louis? You could make that case.
Jim LaLonde
10:42 pm on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
The Cardinals could win, but a lot of mistakes will be made by the rookie manager and the team being re-tooled. In the long run, it will be pitching that counts.
Candace Jarrett
8:43 pm on Friday, April 6, 2012
I couldn't agree more with you Jim. The pitching will be vital but it also seems like they always get older or injured pitchers.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and new to game development.
At the moment i'm trying to (re)learn some math related to games and I could use some explanations on how to achieve the following:
Say you have 2 objects in 3d space. Object A is located, for example, at position(300, 100, 300) and object B at position(35, -225, -200). My question is how would make object B move towards object A? Also how would you make object B correctly rotate to object A so that it always faces or looks at object A?
moving a 3d object towards another

Currently Being ModeratedDec 5, 2012 12:08 PM (in response to josephcaruso)Re: what's the easiest way to record and then burn a live show w/o having recording software installed on MAC
Hello josephcaruso,
I might chime in here.
When you want to burn your live show with all effects made at that time be sure you record the main mix onto SD or USB stick.
This mix is recorded after your main volume, and I personally find it helpful to stop after each track and start the recording anew when a new track begins.
I would recommend a recording software named audacity nevertheless, it is free recording software you can control and normalize your mix with if it might be too quiet.
You can also cut the beginning and ending of your recorded songs if that has to be tweaked so that you get the beginning of the song if the next track starts.
You might try different free software audio solutions, but it is fine for me.
If another member of this forum recommends a better solution for this, go and figure it out.
You will find audacity here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Recording all channels will keep all channels dry with no effects on the stick and you then will have to recapture them with your computer soundcard;
either with the 1/8" mini jack or with an adapter that fits your computer soundcard and the two main XLR outs on the Stagescape M20d.
If you playback all tracks and recapture your recording this way you can tweak the recorded stuff regarding effects to your likes afterwards,
but you will need extra time and a good soundcard for this.
Just my 2 cents, M-Jay

PHOTOS – See Aishwarya Rai's Baby Aaradhya's Face Pictures!
The first photo of Aishwarya Rai, aka the most beautiful woman in the world, baby's face has finally been unveiled!
Aishwarya, 38, gave birth to her first child Aaradhya last year, and ever since, the baby's face has remained under wraps… until today!
Mother and daughter were seen at the airport leaving for their final destination of Chicago (with a quick stop in NY to visit her sister-in-law, Shweta Bachchan Nanda), where Abhishek Bachchan is shooting Dhoom 3.
Aishwarya Rai, Aaradhya and Abhishek? Try saying that five times fast.
She held baby Aaradhya close as she was quickly led through the crowd, doing her best to avoid the paparazzi However, she looked fine in her head-to-toe black assemble by sindoor.
Hubby/Papa, Abhishek has been shooting Dhoom 3 in Chicago for almost a month now and is finally having his family out for a visit. It's about time. Geesh!
Aishwarya's visit is also timely as Madhur Bhandarkar's film Heroine is due to be released. Could she be curious to see how her replacement, Kareena Kapoor, did in the film? Kapoor was director, Bhandarkar's, first choice anyway, after Aishwarya backed out due to her pregnancy with baby-Aish.

Aishwarya Rai Responds to 'Fat' Criticism Over Her Weight in New Interview
Weeks after she was slammed by some Bollywood fans for not losing her baby weight quickly enough, Aishwarya Rai is now responding to the "fat" criticism.
The Indian actress, 38, who showed off her fabulous figure at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival last week, is speaking out on the negativity about her weight, her six-month old daughter Aaradhya, and how motherhood has changed both her life and body.
In the excerpts below from her interview with NDTV, Aishwarya gives a classy response when asked about the weight backlash, stating that the positive far outweighs the negative comments.
Aishwayra responds: "Firstly, as always, whenever there is the wave of opinions, and I've always said this, it's the truth—I'm sure you will endorse it since you know the facts as well—the haters are a drop in the ocean. There's that much more love, you know? So any kind of negativity in any case… it just doesn't stick, it just drops off, it doesn't matter at all."
She continues, "There's so much of love—people see the real picture, there's so much love for this blessed experience. They've given me so much love throughout my career, throughout my life in the public eye, and at every phase… And now, the amount of love Abhishek and I and the family and Aaradhya have received—it's blessed to be in this place, and I can only take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone for all their love and good wishes and blessings. That's the real thing."
Aish adds: "The rest of it is opinions, and they vary and it doesn't matter. This is reality, this is who I am. I am a mother, and this (referring to her weight) can happen and it happened with me, and that's fine! And that's life! I've never been the one who endorsed size zero anyways—you guys speculated I was pregnant way before I was so many times! So it just goes to show that I have lived the real life in the public eye, and that continues. There are a lot of people out there that recognize that, see that, and share that energy with me, and that's what matters: reality."
Excellent response by Aishwayra!
PHOTOS – Aishwarya Rai At Cannes 2012 After Fat Criticism! Calls Motherhood "Wonderful"
'The world's most beautiful woman' Aishwarya Rai stepped out again at the Cannes 2012 Film Festival sizzling!
Aishwarya, 39, is not giving in to the haters who decided to slam the Bollywood actress for not losing her baby weight soon enough. By the way, it's been less than a year since Aish gave birth to her baby girl with husband Abhishek Bachchan.
On Friday, Aishwarya flaunted her post baby figure on the red carpet for the premiere of Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis.
She also spoke to reporters about being a new mom!
"[Motherhood] is wonderful. You ask the question and I beam!" Aishwarya told reporters about her 6-month-old daughter, Aaradhya. "It's splendid," she added. "It's inexplicable. The joy, the bliss, is wonderful. A smile from my daughter and that's it! She's good. She's great."

Aishwarya Rai Called Fat By Bollywood Fans For Not Losing Baby Weight!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who owns the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, is on the receiving end of some backlash today!
Aishwarya's crime? Not losing her baby weight quickly enough. For realz. See Aishwarya, 38, stepped out this week — 7 months after giving birth to a baby girl — and was snapped in the above picture sporting what appears to be a double chin.
This led some fans to unleash on the actress, criticizing her for letting her fans down. Some even went a step further, suggesting Aish has a 'duty' to her fans to regain her pre-pregnancy figure. Wowzers.
And one website, which posted a video of the star looking heavier, used elephant sound effects to poke fun at her weight. That video has been viewed over 500,000 times.
And unfortunately for Aishwarya, few fans are coming to her defense. One left a comment on the video stating, "She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good and fit," one said. Another one added: "She needs to learn from people like Victoria Beckham who are back to size zero weeks after their delivery."
As for Aishwarya, it appears she is more focused on enjoying motherhood than going back to a pre-baby weight. The former Miss World has stated she is in no rush to lose the weight, adding she simply wants to 'enjoy motherhood.' Good for her!
Aish is married to actor Abhishek Bachchan. The two tied the knot in 2007.

Wait. Before clicking mute the next time an automobile commercial comes on and interrupts your favourite program, listen carefully.
Chances are good you've heard the voice somewhere before.
In my opinion, some spokespeople just don't have a voice that would motivate anyone to get up off the couch and go look at a new car or truck.
Others, though, seem to have what it takes.
Consider Hyundai's car commercials. After hearing just one of its TV ad spots, my wife insisted the narrator was none other than Jeff Bridges, the 2009 Oscar-winning actor who played Bad Blake in Crazy Heart. He also portrayed The Dude in the The Big Lebowski and Preston Tucker in Tucker: The Man and His Dream.
Now, when I contacted Hyundai for comment on who narrates its commercials, oddly enough Hyundai would neither confirm nor deny that Bridges is the voice of its product.
But a simple Google search yielded plenty of evidence to back up the hunch.
In a posting in the Jeff Bridges forum at topix.com, Kyle from Illinois said:
"The Dude abides indeed (in The Big Lebowski, if The Dude was agreeable, he abides'). I guess I'm going to go out and buy a hot new Hyundai now."
And then, in a blog posting by Bob Cashill at popdose.com, he said: "All I can say is if I ever buy a car again it'll surely be a Hyundai, so persuasive his voice is when selling them on TV. If Jeff Bridges believes in a Hyundai, I believe in a Hyundai. And that's because I believe in Jeff Bridges."
We both cottoned on rather quickly that gravel-voiced Sam Elliott narrates the Ram truck ads. Unlike Hyundai, Dodge is more than happy to tout its relationship with Elliott — an actor with a commanding voice who has played roles such as Gar in Mask, Virgil Earp in Tombstone — and The Stranger in The Big Lebowski (and that's an interesting coincidence, isn't it?).
Marissa H. Hunter, head of Ram truck brand communications, wrote in an e-mail to me with the subject line Ram Trucks: The Story Behind the Voice Selection: "We didn't set out to pick a celebrity for the voice of Ram.
"Of course, we wanted someone whose voice could cut through the clutter of messaging and turn a viewer's head the same way we believe a visual or piece of music should. Naturally Sam Elliott was at the top of the list based on sound alone."
Hunter continues: "But it was more than just his pipes that attracted us to him. It was what he represents and stands for away from the recording booth.
Sam, without effort, represents the hardworking, straight shooting, noble, authentic gentleman the Ram brand sought. He's done an incredible job. But while his celebrity and distinctively familiar voice give the brand an extra boost — most importantly he'd be the first to tell you he wouldn't say something he didn't believe in."
While Hyundai and Ram use specific voices for their ads, Ford will search for a voice to suit a product.
Depending on what Ford ad is playing, I often thought I could hear Kiefer Sutherland, famous for his role as Jack Bauer in TV's 24 and for films including Flatliners and Young Guns.
Following my guess, I contacted Ford.
Kerri Stoakley, communications manager for Ford of Canada, confirmed my suspicion.
Stoakley wrote in an e-mail: "Yes, that is correct, we use Kiefer Sutherland's voice for some of our ads. He has great range — he is able to voice a tough truck ad just as well as he can voice an ad that requires a softer tone.
"We do use other voices in our ads, as well. In general, we look for a voice that will connect with the audience — for example, in Canada we have run Ford F-Series ads featuring the voice of Denis Leary."
In the U.S., Ford retains Mike Rowe of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs as a spokesman for its products.
Just last night we saw a new General Motors ad, this one unmistakably voiced by Tim Allen — noted for his role in TV's Home Improvement and as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story trilogy.
In a news release, Joel Ewanick, vice-president U.S. marketing for General Motors, says: "Tim Allen brings the right combination of a recognizable voice with the credibility, likability and humour that will connect with viewers. His passion for all things cars makes him the perfect match for the Chevrolet brand."
So don't automatically click mute. Wait and see if you can pick out the voice that an automaker has chosen to represent their product.

Just hours after fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman told police investigators the shooting followed a life-and-death struggle in which the teen told him, "You're going to die tonight."
The audio of the February 26 interviews, made public late Wednesday, is part of discovery items released by Zimmerman's defense team. The recordings represent the first time Zimmerman is heard giving his account in his own words.
Also released were audio and video showing the techniques used by the police department in the investigation: interviews conducted in the days after the shooting, a video of a voice stress test administered to Zimmerman by police and his videotaped re-enactment of the incident for authorities.
Zimmerman, 28, is charged with second-degree murder in Martin's February 26 shooting death. Zimmerman has said he shot Martin in self-defense, but Martin's family and civil rights activists across the country said Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, racially profiled Martin and ignored a 911 dispatcher's advice not to follow him.
In an interview just after the shooting, Zimmerman told police that the struggle began when Martin "jumped out from the bushes" and punched him in the face, knocking him down.
"I started screaming for help. I couldn't see. I couldn't breathe," he said.
"He grabbed my head and started hitting it into the sidewalk," he said. "When he started doing that, I slid into the grass to try to get out from under him. ... I'm still yelling for help."
Martin, he said, put his hand over Zimmerman's mouth and nose and told him, "You're going to die tonight."
"When I slid, my jacket and my shirt came up. ... I felt his hand go down my side, and I thought he was going for my firearm, so I grabbed it immediately, and as he banged my head again, I just pulled out my firearm and shot him."
When he did, he said, Martin, who had been on top of him, fell away and said, "All right. You got it. You got it." In another interview, he noted Martin might have said, "You got me."

Richard Park, NYC Civic Corps member
It's been years, but I still remember their names as if it were yesterday: Thomas, Joseph and James. They were triplets, amongst my first group of more than thirty eight-year old youngsters I'd be supervising many summers ago at a local day camp. Back then, working at the camp was the perfect opportunity to earn some extra cash and have some fun at the same time. Little did I know how much significance that experience, almost ten years later, would have on my life today.
What was first thought of as a one-time job became a routine every summer. I would attend college throughout the year, and then work the summers as a camp counselor. I didn't realize that work could be so fun, rewarding and fulfilling. Year after year, I would look forward to seeing the smiles on familiar faces from kids that returned for the summer. At the same time, I was ready to experience even more good times with a fresh, new group of kids who were just as eager and enthusiastic to start camp on a fun and productive note. By the end, one summer had turned into four. I found myself working at the camp throughout my entire college career.
Upon graduating from college, I went on to pursue a Masters degree and shortly thereafter landed an analyst position in the world of investment management, where I worked for almost four years. As grateful as I was for the wonderful experience that comes along with working in corporate finance, I often found myself reflecting back to those summer days. How fulfilling it was to motivate, inspire and teach! How gratifying it was to be admired and looked up to as a role model! How rewarding it was to contribute to the community where I was born and raised! I missed those summer days, and I yearned to be back in a situation where I felt I could make a bigger difference.
As with my first job as a camp counselor, I was fortunate enough to come across the opportunity to work as a VISTA for the NYC Civic Corps. I quickly jumped at the chance, as having the privilege to work with the communities in New York City was an honor I didn't want to pass up. Now, as part of my new assignment, I am working with Learning Leaders, a non-profit organization that aims to help the school children of New York City excel by recruiting and training volunteers to tutor and provide other school-bases support. Through this role, I am back in a situation that was most rewarding and fulfilling to me. Perhaps most importantly, I am thrilled to be part of a group and organization where we all share the same goals and are striving to make a difference in our communities. I've always felt that everything happens for a reason, and through my chance opportunities with my first job at camp and now through the NYC Civic Corps, I am beginning to realize that many of the best things in life find you when you are not looking.

The Aztecs were a warrior people who managed to establish themselves in the great central highland Basin of Mexico in the early fourteenth century. By two hundred years later, they were the political overlords of much of the country. Aztec-style sculpture proliferated throughout central Mexico, and deity images existed in quantity at sacred places such as caves, springs, and roadside shrines. Among the deities were female fertility figures that represent Chalchiuhtlicue, goddess of water and springs. The goddess is depicted here as a fine lady wearing a fancy shawl and a headdress that consists of a multistrand brow-band and large bulbous tassels falling onto the shoulders. Her eyes may originally have been inlaid. These images are quite serene and are thought to represent an ideal Aztec female type.

The online community of knife collectors
Every time I wanted to buy a knife ,curious about the type of steel of the blade.some marked as steel 440,surgical steel,Damascus or even just stainless.I recently came across that famous Kukri(Ghurka) knives are made out of recycled truck steel.Katana made out of two layers of high and low carbon steel.I feel its better to share personal experiences about particular blade material,rather than technical issues.You guys have a lot of experience on this.
Thank you
Tags: 1095, 154, 34, 440c, A2, ATS, CV, D2, VG10, cm, More…cpm
A good place to start is the harder the steel the harder it is to sharpen. Then considering the rust resistance. The size of knife for the job. There are many different steels for different uses. I like a steel that holds a good edge but sharpens fairly easy like 1095, D2, A2, VG10, 440c, ATS 34, 154 cm, 154 cpm, CV, etc. I'm not all that fond of the super steel because of the difficulty in sharpening but they all have a place depending on your job at hand.
You must first decide what kind of steel you want in your knife. Stainless, Carbon or Damascus. All three are good and have their following and specialties. I perfer carbon steel but I also have an use some stainless knives. When you pick your type of steel then you can reduce your search to whichever one in that type you perfer. Example: Carbon 1095....Stainless 440c an so on.
Robert has hinted at this. But the problem is that there's no such simple choice as "Stainless, carbon or damascus".
All those three are groups and there are extremely different steels in all those groups. You have took look at the application that the knife is going to be put through. And then you can match a steel that will suit it best. For instance:
You need a big knife that will take a lot of abuse at a low price in a humid area where you don't have a lot of time for upkeep?
440A will be your best friend.
A big knife with good edgeholding but corrosion resistance isn't important?
Something that will just keep it's edge on and on and on? CPM110V or ZDP189
An extremely TOUGH and stainless steel? CPM3V
and so on and so on. There's no "best" steel. Just best for an application. Some steels aren't even steels. For Dive knives for instance Titanium might be a better option than steel. There are many factors that decide wether a steel is a "good" one.
As to the question whether spring steel is a good knife steel.
Spring steel is tough and has pretty decent edge holding IF the heat treatment is correct and the grind is right. It is not however very corrosion resistant.
I have a Khukuri in spring steel and it's a good user steel. You want to take care and dry the blade after use though.
You are so right Alex, there is so much info on so many different knifes steels, we may need for Madhura to be a little more specific on what steels he's asking about. Great info you gave him though, I'd like to hear more from him about his knives and all.
Everything has already more or less been explained but I'll chirp in on some things now that I have my day off.
First of all there is no such thing as "the best" of anything in the cutlery world. One can optimize the spherodized chrystallized formations of carbides in a steel (Martensite, Pearlite, Austenite, Ferrite and Cementite) but even then the style of the blade dictates what uses it has as does the particular balance of crystallized carbide formations.
As martensite is the hardest form of steel that we know of it is also easy to make the craft too brittle and that's why we need to balance it with the other "elements" to reach the desired result of what kind of craft it will be and how it will be used.
Another issue is the common understanding of hard to sharpen means good. No, even with alloy steels, as long as the carbide formations in the steel has been refined through the scientific research that's been done the last 15-20 years then even if we go into HRC 65-66 the steel remains easy to sharpen and edge retention is naturally improved as well.
Generally when talking about HRC values like this we are talking about very particular steels but really any kind of steel can be refined by the same method to produce very noticeable improvements.
A problem that arises is that the craft has to be forged entirely by hand with the exception for a press or power hammer so the price is much higher than a production blade.
One last thing too, I would be very peculiar about who forged a San-mai style Katana as the traditional sword is a single piece of steel only having been differentially tempered through the classic mud application which makes the core or inside of the steel be highly martensitic which of course runs to the edge and surrounding this is Pearlite and Cementite due to the clay making it cool slower, forcing the iron atoms out of their position inside the carbon and forcing it to become Pearlite; a combination of regular iron (this is Ferrite; regular iron which lost it's place inside the carbon atom as the heat opened the carbon up) and Pearlite. There's yet another element present which is Cementite, quite simply a layered form of Ferrite and Pearlite, adding flexibility for the craft.
That's why there's a common misconception that swords are made of two different steels but in reality it's only one piece that had it's spine and surrounding steel reverted from Austenite into the previously mentioned elements to add support and flexibility for the demanding tasks a sword might come up against as the edge would snap in two or fall apart without that support.
However, using a "sandwich" style sword that hasn't been forge welded properly or perhaps even welded by machine - it's hard to tell but accidents can easily happen in these cases and having a 2lbs piece of sharp steel fly across your room like a fastball is quite nasty.
So everyone here on iKC, please see to it that you buy your swords from people you can trust to make a craft that can withstand the impacts and stress a sword has to survive as it cuts through something or even just being swung in the air.
Thanks Halicon, for the technical side of this little discussion. I guess that's why I perfer carbon steel, so little stainless is forged now days.
Apologies for going off-topic but to answer Robert;
It isn't very hard to get hold of a forged alloy steel, handmade production series or completely custom made. The smiths I've mentioned in the past can do pretty much everything except for Kiyohisa-san.
They refrain from using stainless steels though so getting that kind forged for an outdoor knife I don't quite know where to look, perhaps Heiji-san would be able to but it would have to be double bevel and a traditional Japanese machete (Nata) design.
In all honesty however I can't consider it a worthy tradeoff compared to a well-forged alloy outdoor knife of say BS#2 (Blue steel #2). Absolutely not Super Blue either as it's only a mix of #1 and #2 and sits better in the kitchen. The oxide surface from the pine charcoal will be there to prevent any oxidation on surfaces that aren't touched by the stone and some light rust on the sharpening surface has never been much of a bother.
You would need a good stone for such a blade though if you don't have one. Something around 10-13k grit if it has been forged by hand in order to get enough out of the steel as to not waste it's potential.
The price can't compete with hot forged blades made by the help of power tools but most of the smiths focus on delivering at least a lifetime of daily, heavy use per blade however if not even more. One has to learn to sharpen them properly however as they have flat bevels with a rounded edge (on a stone).
thank you very much Herb,Robert,Alex and Halicon for your valuable contributions for the dicussion.I gained a lot.I recently watched a documentory about traditional Katana making.It says that tradititional smiths asses the carbon content of the iron by its color and hand forged for several ,variable days.So that different schools of smiths having different unique"recipes".
Indeed Madhura, there's a lot of interesting information to be gained if one checks into the history of the Katana. Back in the day of the warring states and whatnot there was of course no definitive science around forging or refining iron ore so there were a lot of impurities in the steel of the old swords.
Each smith apprenticed under a master and later went on to create their own school and so on, passing their forging secrets and steel recipes to the next generation. Today that knowledge is called Kantei and it involves the entire history from nearly two millenia old swords albeit they are quite "tired" and not in the best of condition up to todays Gendaito (translated to modern day sword basically), all the schools, smiths, styles and various effects in the steel.
This knowledge was absolutely top-secret and if a rival smith were to say dip his finger in the water to check what temperate the water is for quenching the resulting sentence would be to have his arm lopped off which would put a prompt end to that smith's career. There are many cases of this throughout history with not dismemberment being the worst outcome. Each smith was a huge benefit for the province and the military kept a constant eye for any possible eavesdroppers trying to gain their valuable information of how to forge weapons.
Also ironically, the impurities in the iron lots of old have made it impossible for us to recreate some of the best swords (and many different stunning effects in the steel) known through history as we simply can't find any more of it.
Well I can go on about this for hours but I suppose it's time better spent working as I am yet to find someone else here on ikc interested in sword polishing and Kantei. :)
Oh yea Pat, that's two of my favorites but don't forget about O1 Swedish steel. It's great stuff. Thanks Hal, for your valuable info, we need to know the facts.
Sorry Halicon, I guess there's not too many sword people in here but I was thinking, I started a mini group in the Group Box Full of Knives, call Forged Knives. I was wondering if you would do me and others a favor and do a short explanation about Forgeing a fixed blade knife. I know you are a busy man, so it's alot to ask but there would be no hurry and you don't have to make it too long. Let know what you think.

Hi Bruce,
Great podcast as usual. I have a question/ comment that you briefly mentioned, but is never mentioned in the media. JFK was the last person elected President from the Senate - but he was also the last to be elected from the "Union" (that is, the Northeast or Midwest). Aside from Gerald Ford, who was not elected, every president since Kennedy has been from the former Confederacy (LBJ, Carter, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II) or California (Nixon and Reagan). Do you have any idea of why this is? and why the media never mentions it?
I know that most Southern states have voted solidly Republican since 1968, which weighs against a Northern Democrat winning, but a Northern Republican should stand a decent chance.
I'd be interested to hear your take.
- Nick - 9.11.08
- histropolitics said...
Nick thanks.
Well, you'd get some argument calling it 'the Union'...but I get your point.
The media hasn't dealt with the issue directly - but has covered in great detail the Southward movement of American politics. Obama is very different in that he is from IL rather than a Southern Democrat- the only type of Democrat it seemed that could win.
As for the reason - the 'Union' population moved south and west, to CA, to FL, to GA, to VA, to AZ and NV but didn't have enough numbers to change the politics of the states. Now, it appears they do.
As for a Northern Republican there is a problem they have to deal with.
While Republicans have a southern lock on politics, or did. Democrats since the Clinton impeachment have developed a northeast lock. You add the Northeast and California and Dems start with a huge gain. Now that VA and FL is pluckable for them, look out. - 10.11.08

Excellent podcast. I'm listening to it now. Seriously, all political pundits and political aides and anyone who runs a campaign should listen to it. Historical trends seem to be very powerful things, and slow to change.
As I mentioned, it seems rare that an incumbent president in unseated after their first term, especially if enjoying a significant victory. There may be a case I'm missing, but that certainly seems to be the case. If any politician is going to try and swim upstream against those historical trends, clearly they would need a unique political strategy. As history indicates, what is traditionally done loses when put up against historical trends. Thus, Republicans running in 1994 took a fairly unique strategy to buck the trends of history and win significantly, by nationalizing the congressional elections. Will they do something similarly innovative in 2010? Doubtful. What about 2012? They had better come up with something new and well-thought-out, and informed by the lessons of history, or history will once again beat up their politics. As I may have mentioned, I just don't see it happening in 2012. If conservatives want any hope of shaping the national agenda, they need to get to work on winning house and senate seats in 2010, 2012, and 2014, or they won't be setting the agenda on anything for the next 8-to-12 years. - 10.11.08
- histropolitics said...
Agreed that the GOP should look towards 2010. They could totally run the table then depending on what happens. No one election makes anyone secure in America.
- and they've got to find a way to break into the Northern Lock. Or here's a good thing - 'they've got to get some Northern Exposure.' Hah.. Podcast on that coming up.
For an example of people who one big then lost, Bush in 1988, Hoover in 1928, Grover Cleveland in 1892 - fairly big wins, not much of contests, yet the incumbent was ousted. There are other factors which help Obama but size-of-win alone is too shaky as a usable tool. - 10.11.08
- David Amulet said...
Another good podcast. I enjoyed listening and thinking that these historic aspects won't get any mainstream media attention because all the MSM can focus on is the race issue!
One thing that came to my mind--the heights of the candidates. As I recall, the trend since the 1920s has been that the taller man wins, with only a few exceptions ('72, '76). But the past two elections, we've had Bush defeat taller men--Gore and Kerry. Obama takes the throne back for the taller candidate!
On a related note, McCain--at only about 5'6" or 5'7"--may be the shortest Republican candidate since at least Benjamin Harrison! (Of course, the Dems don't hesistate to nominate shorter men, as shown by Dukakis in '88).
Keep up the good work. Your labor of love here is much appreciated. - 10.11.08
- THE STRIP PODCAST GUYS said...
Hi Bruce - thanks for answering my question about filibuster-proof majorities! I have another question I was just thinking about: How many presidents have become president without ever losing an election? I mean, like a perfect record. I know Obama and W both lost congressional races, Clinton was booted as Arkansas governor, Reagan failed in 1976. Did anyone ever make it through an entire career without ever losing? For that matter, how have those earlier losses impacted or changed the eventual presidents?
Keep up the good work!

Great podcast as usual. I appreciate you taking on the subject of race in this aspect. It is an incredibly sad story when we look at all the opportunities politicians had to pass bills that could have made the US a different place. I agree with you that this day would have come a lot quicker. While the Civil Rights movement in history tried to get states to change laws, it is the Federal government that would have to step in to try and fix the problem. Yet, it would take tremendous pressure from the people of America to get things changed.
At the same time, Presidents who could have made a bigger impact (Teddy Roosevelt meeting with Booker T Washington and writing fondly of the Buffalo Soldiers while not getting laws passed, Truman desegregating the military, and FDR meeting with Civil Rights leaders but asking for time to deal with the war for instance) if they would have really took racism on could have changed the US for good.
Still, other Presidents (Woodrow Wilson to name one) who choose to try and give the states power to make the decisions, when in reality most would side with the "Tyranny of the Majority". I believe it is still very present today in American Politics but in different aspects and based largely on political party.
So, saying that I would love to hear a podcast on the history of Race and Presidents. Shoot even to hear your take on a guy like Woodrow Wilson, who had so many different great ideas, but many troubling ones.
Mr. Soderlund - 11.11.08

histropolitics said...
Good question. I think though, I would continue to go back to the root of the problem, and I think it is the 1870-90's in America, where Reconstruction was abandoned, but more than that, even just basic protection of voting rights for black citizens was abandoned.
As I indicated in the podcast, even if the balance of just having some representatives from the part of the South with black populations, I think you would have seen a talent pool that could have led to a black President or vice president by the 1920's.
Where the rest of the Presidents, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy come in is related to that. Suffice to say all of them were dissapointing, Wilson stands out because he was technically a Southerner and actually segregated the Federal government...but there was also no precedent for civil rights and black voting rights other than the 1866-1876 period, which by the turn of the 20th century was getting distant.
It's off-putting for those in the 'linear school' of history who think we always get better as we move along. We don't. - 12.11.08

Hi Bruce,
Great post-election podcast. I've been enjoying them all since my brother suggested I listen in September.
I was surprised you didn't mention that in addition to Virginia, my home state of Indiana went for Obama by 26,000 votes, the first time Indiana has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. Certainly the high turnout in Lake County, adjacent to Chicago, helped push Obama over the top in Indiana. Do you know of any historical examples of candidates winning unlikely states by virtue of their proximity?
brian - 13.11.08
- histropolitics said...
The Electoral College system does set up that opportunity. So that if a candidate is known in one region either because they are from the state or a neighbor, it can be enough to turn the state, and of course, then all get all the EV's, which in 48 states and DC is winner take all.
I suspect it helped greatly in 1912 that Woodrow Wilson came from New Jersey, and was able to win New York despite Roosevelt's history with the state. By 1916 however, the charm had worn off. - 14.11.08

"Not For British School Kids"
Uses: 1. In place of a swear word 2. Describing a topic that is obscene, disgusting, or in general "not for kids" Origin: Circa 1998 At the snopes.com message board, an obviously irate woman posted saying the other posters should watch their language, because there were British school children reading the message board. From then on, as a joke, the other snopesters started using NFBSK in place of swear words or in the subject lines of topics that might not be suitable for children (or the squeamish). 1. I moved one Jenga block and the whole NFBSKing thing fell down!
2. I'll tell you about my surgery, but I must warn you, it might get a little NFBSK. |
2. | nfbsk | ||
Acronym: Not For British School Kids
Created on the snopes.com message board. Can be used in place of a curse word, or to describe something as inappropriate. I don't need your NFBSKing attitude!
Man, this topic is a bit NFBSK. |
3. | nfbsk | ||
Not For British School Kids
Meaning obscene or adult in nature. Also used to censor somthing. "She kicked the NFBSK out of that guy."
"Um, I don't think johnny should see that movie, its kinds NFBSK if you know what I mean." |
4. | nfbsk | ||
Originated on the snopes.com message board. NFBSK! That post in the NFBSK forum in really NFBSKed up!

It was incorrectly reported in Thursday's paper the consecutive amount of EIL championships won by the Berwick Academy golf team. The Bulldogs have won four straight.

During the first two weeks of July, I had the opportunity to visit and work with a number of people in the region near Angangeuo, Mexico. My reasons for this visit were many - to learn about the people who live in the area where the Monarch butterflies roost during the winter months which would enable me to learn more about the region itself, and to help out with whatever needed to be done. I was there as part of a pilot group (four of us in all) for the Monarch Teacher Network to see what we could learn and teach to the local people about the Monarch butterfly.
While there, we stayed with a group known as Altenare - a group of wonderful people dedicated to improving the life of local farmers. Their goal is to teach good, sustainable farming practices (crops and animals), healthy food preparation, using herbs as food and as medicine, and creating their homes and wood burning stoves from adobe bricks which can be made using their own land and their own hands. The group, Altenare, planned our daiy activities. We built adobe wood burning stoves, made adobe bricks, cleared areas for gardens - in other words, we got down and dirty.
The most memorable day of this awesome adventure was the day we visited Sierra Chincua, a Monarch over-wintering area, but an area that is being illegally logged. We had been invited by the local people of the area - people to whom and for whom this forest belongs - to visit in the off-season to see the area without the butterflies in order to see how amazing it truly is. While there, I had the amazing fortune to speak with and listen to Francisco, a true gentle man of the woods.
At one point, as he was talking, I realized that I was speaking with a man who had been present when members of Fred Urquhart's group held up a photo and asked this question "Have you seen this butterfly?" I was face-to-face with a moment in scientific history, and just thinking of it now makes me go all goose-bumpy! The local people, at the time, thought the Monarch bred in their trees and that the butterflies disappeared in March and the Monarch's children grew up in the trees and appeared in November. They called the butterflies Palomas (which means dove), and because they appeared around All Saints Day (or Day of the Dead), the butterflies have a large significance to this day - the souls of the dead coming to wish them a good day. But what truly touched my heart the most was Francisco and his dedication, along with the other members of his small community, to this forest. Translated roughly, he said to me "This is God's gift. It is here to be looked after, and that is my duty to God. I am here to keep the animals, trees and plants safe." Francisco cannot read or write, but he has a true understanding and knowledge of his forest which became very apparent as we walked and walked. What a memory!

When Cheltenham star senior Mark Thompson was ejected from the game, junior Mark Heimann was forced to step into a much larger role on the Panthers offense.
And he made the most of it.
Heimann ran in a touchdown and threw for another in the first quarter while leading the Panthers to a 20-6 win over visiting Wissahickon in a Suburban One American Conference meeting under lights at Cheltenham High School on Friday night.
Heimann stepped into a quarterback role usually held by Hyneef Dockery and finished with two touchdowns and 110 yards passing, along with 123 yards rushing on only 14 carries.
I knew that Id have to be prepared because football is an unpredictable game, Heimann said. I just came in prepared and we just got lucky tonight.
Cheltenham (5-2, 3-1) got on the board midway through the first quarter when it ran an end-around reverse to Heimann, who took it 15 yards into the end zone on third goal. Wissahickon came back down and scored on a three-yard run by senior Dan Murphy, but the Trojans (4-3, 2-2) missed the extra point attempt and trailed by one.
Later in the quarter, the Panthers got a stroke of luck and found the end zone again, as two Wissahickon defensive backs let a Heimann pass go through their hands and into the possession of Cheltenhams Dockery, who took the pass 67 yards in for a touchdown.
They (Cheltenham) outplayed us and it was a hard-fought game on both sides, Wissahickon coach Jeff Kappa said. We made some mistakes and well bounce back.
Cheltenham kicker Remi Wachsmuth kicked a 25-yard field goal in the third quarter and a 27-yarder in the fourth to put Cheltenham up by two touchdowns.
Heimanns 223 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns led the Panthers, but Ryan Phillips also was able to chip in with 50 yards rushing on 11 carries. Hyneef Dockery caught two passes for 72 yards and a score and also ran for 17 yards. On defense, Jonathan Howard recorded two sacks.
Wissahickons offense was led by Dan Murphy, who ran eight times for 62 yards.
Other than a number of penalties by both teams, the game, for the most part, was a friendly contest between the two teams. But during the handshake, an all-out brawl broke out between both teams, putting a damper on yet another home win for Cheltenham.
Several individual fights broke out and the two teams fought back and forth for several minutes until coaches and police were able to break up the teams and allow them to go their separate ways.
Neither coach was available after the game for comment regarding the situation.

A wild weekend of college football left the rankings in disarray, especially in the SEC East. Dawg Sports sorts through the carnage and compiles a resume-based top 25 . . . with a new SEC team in the No. 1 spot.

In a Spartanburg County neighborhood you will find a story by Dr. Seuss put to good use.
The Grinch and his quest through Whoville are signs of the homeowners' good will.
"I love the neighbors here that have gone to the effort and trouble to put this together for the rest of us," said Ken Merrikin, who lives nearby.
Ten years ago, a family put out decorations of the green guy, and they soon caught the neighborhood's eye.
A tradition began, and through two whole streets.. the story would span.
On Windemere Lane and Cinnabar Court on Spartanburg's west side, it's clear the people who live there took a lot of pride.
"It says a lot about this neighborhood," said Lee Sartor. "My wife and I came out here the other day. This is our second time seeing it this year and we had to bring our daughter out."
Life-sized wooden cutouts of iconic images and eventually words were quick to draw in the herds.
"It really brings Christmas to life," said Sarah Justus, who took her son to see the display.
Planning begins each year in the fall to accurately capture the pictures and words one and all.

The human brain will learn any word it hears 160 times over 14 minutes.
Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge recently found that it technically takes less than fifteen minutes to learn a new word, given enough aural repetitions. Not only that, but you do not even have to speak the word or think about it at all! All it takes is a bit of passive listening on the part of the learner - your brain will automatically work on its own to form a network of neurons devoted to remembering that one word. This task is quite difficult for the mind at first, but towards the end of the 14-minute period, the new memory traces will be nearly identical to that of any other word in your prexisting lexicon!

Confirmed: Man United to win the group! No way we can lose to these nobodies! Thank you lord!!!!
Madrid also in tough group tho...Lyon especially. Ajax also...they're no mugs....
Group A is the dead center. - totally unpredictable.
Group B is a free for all group.
Group C is WTF.
Group D is a CLASSIC group...considering their histories of success.
Group E is also a WTF albeit a slighter one.
Group F is exciting, like B
Group G is BORING
Group H is for Barcelona and AC Milan.
Group A is the toughest. All 4 of them have a chance for the knockout round and it's quite tough to bet on who will qualify. Group F seems interesting and exciting to watch along with Dortmund debuting the Champions League, I wonder how they will fair against the veteran clubs of Europe. Group C is quite easy for United to top and might not get a draw and get 18 points.
Can't believe Lyon and Real Madrid are meeting again for the 1275th time in this competition.
GROUP A - group of death, but it may be lopsided
Bayern Munich
Manchester City
GROUP B - balanced group
Inter Milan
CSKA Moscow
GROUP C - easy day
Manchester United
Otelul Galati
GROUP D - WTF RMAD vs. Lyon again???????
Real Madrid
Dinamo Zagreb
GROUP E - Mata returns to the Mestalla, Ballack returns to the bridge, toss-up between Valencia and Leverkusen on who advances
Bayer Leverkusen
GROUP F - should be a pretty balanced group
Borussia Dortmund
GROUP G - two words. Europa Liga, smh
Shakhtar Donetsk
Zenit St Petersburg
GROUP H - no comment needed
AC Milan
Viktoria Plzen

Group A:
Bayern Munich, Villareal, Man City, Napoli
Tough introduction to CL for City. Bayern to top group, Villareal and City to fight for the 2nd spot
Group B:
Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Lille, Trabzonspor
Another tough group, Inter and CSKA to go through
Group C:
Manchester United, Benfica, FC Basel, Otelul
Easy draw for United, Benfica to join them
Group D:
Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax, Zagreb
Very little to choose from between Madrid, Lyon and Ajax, could be very tight this one
Group E:
Chelsea, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, Genk
Interesting ties with ex-players returning to their old clubs. Chelsea and Valencia to go through
Group F:
Arsenal, Marseille, Olympiakos, Borrusia Dortmund
Potential to be another exciting group. Dortmund and Arsenal to progress
Group G:
FC Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Apoel
Softest, Boring, Europa Liga agree with previous posts here. Porto to top group then any of the remaining 3
Group H:
Barcelona, AC Milan, Bate, Plzen
No contest really

Lyon and Ajax again for Real Madrid. another homecoming season for Benz. another tough group as always.
Man City was drawn 5th in pot 3 and only group A and H is available since all others have been filled out while the other unoccupied groups C and E have english teams in it.
Man City is lucky enough to avoid the group of Barca and Milan
I am trying to figure out how to make a PEx Fantasy Football League, Champions League version.
Any suggestions? Would be preferable if we start a test run with this CL season, and see how it works for the FL players.
I have one complex idea in mind, Group Stage to the Final. But it's yeah... complex.
