There are a ton of different types of diaper cakes and I enjoyed making the DIY Bassinet Diaper Cake so much that decided to try making another one. I know there are a ton to choose from but I fell in love with the sleeping baby diaper cake, so that's the one I chose to take on next.:-) This DIY Sleeping Baby Diaper Cake was soooo easy, it literally only took me about 20 minutes to make. I swear I'm going to make a diaper cake for every baby shower I attend, I think they are such creative gifts full of fun and useful items that any baby will get plenty of use out of. If you love letting your creative side out and are looking for a handmade baby shower gift you MUST try this DIY Sleeping Baby Diaper Cake.
Okay, here is what you will need:
- 23 Size 1 Diapers
- Newborn Sleeper
- Newborn Hat
- Paci
- Rubber bands
- 2 Paperclips
Step 1: Make the Baby's Butt. Start by taking 1 diaper and rolling it into a tight roll.
Now roll the first rolled diaper into another diaper
Roll those diapers into another diaper. Do that until you've rolled 8 diapers into 1. Then wrap a rubber band around the 8 rolled diapers to hold it in place. It will look like this when you are done
Step 2: Make the Baby's Chest. You do this the same as you made the Baby's Butt; however you only use 6 diapers. Start by rolling 1 diaper into a tight roll. Then roll that diaper into another diaper. Do that until you've wrapped 6 diapers into 1
Step 3: You now have the Baby's Butt and the Baby's Chest. Lay the two side-by-side and push down with your hands. This flattens them a bit so they look more realistic once you put them inside your sleeper.
Step 4: Make the Baby's Head. Start by taking a diaper and folding it in half long ways. Then roll it into a tight roll
Take another diaper, fold it in half long ways and then roll the first diaper into that diaper
Now roll those two diapers into a third diaper. Then place a rubber band around it.
Take your three rolled diapers and roll them into a 4th diaper and wrap another rubber band around it. Then take the 4 rolled diapers and roll them into a 5th diaper. By the time you get to the 5th diaper you will notice that the diaper will not go completely around the 4 rolled diapers. So I wrap the 5 diaper as tight as I can around the 4 diapers and then use large paper clips to hold it in place. This makes the Baby's Head
Step 5: Make the Baby's arms and legs. You do this by rolling 1 diaper into a tight roll and wrapping a rubber band around it to hold it in place. Make 3 more individual diaper rolls.
Now you have all the components to make your Sleeping Baby Diaper Cake
Step 6: Open the space between the 3rd & 4th diaper on the Baby's Head and insert the paci
Step 7: Place the hat on the head and pull it all the way down to the top of the paci
Step 8: Take the 4 individually rolled diapers and place them in the arms and legs of the sleeper
Step 9: Place the diaper butt and diaper chest into the sleeper
Step 10: Zip or button up the sleeper and then turn it over. Place the arms so they are facing inward
Step 11: Take the head and sit it on top of the arms
Now you have a fabulous Baby Shower gift, your very own DIY Sleeping Baby Diaper Cake

American Idol
Lazaro Arbos American Idol Top 7 Performance: "We Are the Champions" (VIDEO)
Will Lazaro Arbos escape elimination once again this week on the American Idol results show? Despite some fairly poor showings the last couple of weeks and even flubbing the lyrics during last week's group performance, he keeps managing to sneak through to the next round. He is the Houdini of this season! Or, as some are calling him, "the Sanjaya of American Idol Season 12." Thanks, Vote for the Worst!
While we were amazed along with the rest of viewers when this Florida-based ice cream scooper opened his mouth to sing at his initial American Idol audition and had no a trace of his stutter, we feel it's his time to go this week. And there's no denying that this ballad-lover isn't exactly made for the theme of "Classic Rock, No Ballads." However, one can never underestimate the power of social media and—let's face it—pity votes. So only time will tell if "Laz," as he's called, will become part of the Top Six.
Watch Lazaro Arbos perform "We Are the Champions" by Queen on this week's Rock 'n' Roll (no ballads!) American Idol performances show and let us know what you think!

|United Federation of Planets
|Active (2373)
The USS Madison was a Federation starship that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century.
In 2373, the Madison was part of the fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Hayes that first intercepted the Borg cube in the Typhon sector and then followed the cube to Earth before the Battle of Sector 001. A commander named Ludwig served aboard the Madison during this battle. (Star Trek: First Contact)
The name Madison was overheard among the radio chatter at the beginning of the battle. According to several novels, the Madison is a Template:ShipClass starship.

Frangipane Tart with Amaretto & Honey Poached Pears
April 19th 2012By Jaclynn Lewis
Rich and cake-like almond filling encircles whole pears, half-poached to tender-crisp perfection, and baked into a buttery (yet paerve!), melt-in-your mouth shortcrust to create a gorgeous medley of fall-friendly flavors. With a quick brush of sweet Amaretto-honey syrup and a sprinkle of crunchy toasted almond slices, you've got a rustic and delicious gourmet tart that is truly a work of art.
Alsatian Pear Kugel with Prunes
July 13th 2012By Joan Nathan
Bosc pears and Italian blue plums (dried for use in winter) are fruits that were most often put into kugel. This very old Alsatian Sabbath kugel uses leftover bread that is soaked in water, squeezed to remove any excess moisture, and then mixed with the dried or fresh fruit and left to stew in the oven overnight. Some, like this version, include onions, which add a savory dimension to the sweetness of the fruit and the dough. I love this dish, which I serve in my home for Rosh Hashanah and the Sabbath as a side dish with brisket.

Winter weather here for parade tonight
November 22, 2010 at 2:13 am in The Daily Republic
Perhaps it's appropriate that "Christmas Around the World" is the theme for tonight's Parade of Lights.
It's beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas around here.
According to the National Weather Service forecast, snow is likely today, mainly before noon. Only about an inch is forecast, providing a perfect backdrop for the annual holiday kick-off event. Continue Reading

6th Alabama Infantry Regiment
The 6th Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized at Montgomery, on 6 May 1861, with 12 companies and about 1400 men recruited from Autauga, Henry, Jackson, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Russell, and Wilson counties. It was first ordered to Corinth, and from there it went to Virginia. Reaching Manassas Junction, it was brigaded under Gen'l Richard Ewell. It was on the field but was not actively engaged in 1st Manassas, and it passed the fall and winter in that vicinity. Gen'l Robert Rodes succeeded Ewell in command of the brigade. in the spring, it moved to Yorktown with the army and was there reorganized and reenlisted for the war. It was on the field at Williamsburg but not under fire. At Seven Pines, the regiment took a prominent part, losing 102 k and 282 w out of 632 engaged (59%; the brigade lost 1296 out of about 2500). It again took a conspicuous part at Mechanicsville, 1st Cold Harbor, and Malvern Hill, with casualties. It was in the advance movement across the Potomac and lost slightly at Boonsboro. At Sharpsburg, it lost 52k and 104 w. The regiment was present but did not take part at Fredericksburg. With its brigade companions (3rd, 5th, 12th, and 26th regiments, Col. O'Neal commanding), the regiment fought at Chancellorsville, again with casualties (156). It participated in the Pennsylvania campaign with the brigade under Gen'l Battle, but with severe losses (382 engaged; casualties of more than 50%). Having wintered near Orange Courthouse, the regiment was at The Wilderness, where it lost considerably; and it was badly cut up at Spotsylvania. It took part in the Valley campaign of Gen'l Jubal Early and suffered casualties at Winchester. At Cedar Creek, many of the regiment were captured. Moving back to Petersburg, it was placed in Fort Mahone and was almost continuously under fire until it surrendered at Appomattox with 4 officers and 80 men, commanded by Lt. Col. Culver. Of 2109 names on its rolls, nearly 400 were killed in battle, 243 died of disease in service, and another 675 were discharged or transferred.

My niece just turned 7 the other day. I can hardly STAND it. I used to watch her when she was but a babe. It's hard to watch them grow, but lovely at the same time. She's one of my most favorite little ones, so when her mama told me she was into sea creatures theses days… especially seahorses, I thought I'd try my hand at a softie for her…despite my original softie design failures of the past. It definitely needs some tweaking, but I was overall happy with it and she L.O.V.E.D. it, so that's all that matters… mostly.
I do love it's fun shape. I just need to work on the mohawk part a bit. I don't like the way it lays.
I love the fun snout! And the big ole eyes!
Ella loved it too. I guess I'll tweak the pattern while making her one! I'm just excited I had semi-sucess at an original softie pattern. Holla!!

400 inmates were involved in a fight at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Tuscon on Sunday night. The cause of the melee is under investigation. In the many prison riots across the country in the past century, the causes have varied from overcrowding to racial tension.
A fight broke out among about 400 inmates at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Tuscon on Sunday night. In the brawl, 17 prisoners and two prison staff members were injured.
The cause of the melee is under investigation; the prison is under lockdown in the meantime.
About 1,250 prisoners are housed in the Whetstone Unit of the prison where the fight began and was contained from spreading to the other seven units.
According to a Time Magazine article from 2009, approximately 1,300 prison riots broke out across the United States in the 20th century. The causes of prison riots vary from overcrowding, to racial tension and rivalry, to botched escape plans.
Top 5 Prison Brawls in U.S. History
California Institution for Men
Chino, California
Aug. 8, 2009
An 11-hour riot left more than 250 people hurt and 55 hospitalized. The cause was chalked up to overcrowding. The prison, designed to hold 2,976 prisoners, held 5,877, according to Time Magazine.
"You're talking about hundreds of men moved into triple bunks in what used to be gyms and cafeterias. They're not even cells. They're just empty places where we're shoving people," Barry Krisberg, president of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency in Oakland, Calif., told Time.
Attica Correctional Facility
Attica, New York
Sept. 9, 1971
To contain the four-day riot, a force of about 1,000 police officers and guards rushed the facility. Altogether, 39 men died—10 hostages and 29 inmates.
Living conditions were again part of the cause—it is reported that even after the prison was retaken, guards continued to beat prisoners, sparking prison revolts nationwide.
Governor Nelson Rockefeller had ordered tear gas and open fire on the prisoners to suppress the riot, killing and injuring prisoners not involved in the riot along with the rioters.
Some were motivated to riot by the death of an African-American activist in another prison.
Penitentiary of New Mexico
Santa Fe, California
Feb. 2, 1980
The riot at the Penitentiary of New Mexico that broke out at 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 2, 1980, was marked by a chaos not present in the Attica revolt, according to a University of Colorado paper titled, "The 1980 New Mexico Prison Riot," by Mark Colvin.
"Unlike the 1971 inmate revolt at Attica, New York, in which a high degree of inmate organization, solidarity, and political consciousness was evident, the New Mexico riot is notable for the fragmentation, lack of effective leadership, and disorganization apparent among the inmates," wrote Colvin.
In the brutal riot, 200 inmates were beaten and raped; at least 90 inmates were treated for injuries or for forced overdoses of prison pharmacy drugs; seven guards were beaten or raped.
Colorado State Penitentiary
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Oct. 3, 1929
Two prisoners attempted an escape that involved taking several guards hostage, using the guards as human shields to get to the prison gate. Jimmie Pardue and Danny Daniels had smuggled weapons into the prison and paid off a guard at the gate. That guard did not show up for duty on the day of the break, however, dooming their plans to failure.
Violence erupted during the failed prison break, killing eight guards and five prisoners.
Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Bay
May 2–4, 1946
Another botched escape plan resulted in the death of three inmates and two guards. Now known as the "Battle of Alcatraz," the riot began with the use of weapons smuggled onto "The Rock." Out of the six inmates who attempted the escape, three died along with two guards. The survivors did not fare well: one got an extra 99 years added to his sentence, and the other two were executed at San Quentin State Prison.

What is it?
The Corsa VXR is available in two guises - but only one is brilliant though. Welcome the VXR 'Ring Edition.
The standard VXR has loads of power but not that much sophistication. Incredibly though, the Corsa 'Ring Edition turns out to be brilliant. Put any thoughts that this is no more than a cynical marketing ploy to the back of your mind, for this is really a Vauxhall that vies for hot hatch class honours. That diff turns the Corsa into a mountain devouring monster, turning in tenaciously with the nose clinging to the inside of the bend by freakish magnetic force: grip levels are astounding. The steering is precise and communicative too.
The huge seats grip you like a vice - they're almost too narrow for the broad-shouldered and well-fed. Still, the 'Ring Edition rides with so much more finesse than the standard VXR, smartly damped but never brittle.
Lots of performance, as evidenced by a 0-60mph time of 6.5 seconds. More than that, it's easily accessible performance, because the torque spread is so generous. The engine, which sounds good in bigger Vauxhalls, gets a bit harsh at high revs in the little Corsa, but not enough to take away from the fun.
On the inside
There's been a huge amount of work done to distinguish the VXR from a regular Corsa, inside and out. Whether the VXR is cool to you depends on how you wear your baseball cap. Depends too on your attitude to BTCC. Among certain social subsets this Corsa is a totem. But it doesn't have the universal desirability of a truly cool car.
The dash and interior are nicely fashioned and the whole Corsa feels pretty solid. The interior is a bit bling, with about 20 different colours of plastic, several types of lighting and a superabundance of VXR logos, but it's decently made bling. Especially at the price.
Hot hatches in general are where sporty cars get useful. But this one in particular has limitations. The front seats are so big they restrict access to the back, and the boot opening is weeny.
High insurance could be your first hurdle, but after that and a bloated tyre budget there shouldn't be many nasty surprises because this is a Vauxhall.

Further Reflections on Psychotic Knowledge
The Transformational Imperative: Planetary Redemption Through Self-Realization
Shunyamurti is the founder and director of the Sat Yoga Institute, located in Costa Rica. The Institute is now building a residential ashram and eco-village. Shunyamurti leads retreats and offers individual transformation sessions, as well as providing professional training in Clinical Atmanology, a healing modality involving dreamwork, energywork, guided meditation, and spontaneous expression. He is the author of The Transformational Imperative. For more info, go to Satyogainstitute.org.
(This essay is an effort to respond to comments on the previous essay, "The Ascendancy of Psychotic Knowledge," and to carry forward the implications of the ideas expressed in that text.)
The line that separates sanity from madness has never been clear. In fact, it is not clear that such a line ever existed. This is because what passes for sanity today is in fact still a kind of madness. Even the psychoanalysts admit that normality is neurosis, a form of mental illness. They also admit that one of the most tenacious forms of psychosis is what they call normotic disease, meaning the insane need to appear normal. What if all normality is really normotic? This underlying insanity of the normal is becoming more evident every day as normal people and societies fail to adapt to reality, fail to respond to the climatic and other changes in our natural and social world that should put us all on red alert. Instead, we are being terrorized by propaganda regarding conspiracies that are themselves delusional. Reality-based discourse has become impossible.
What is clear is that the concept of psychosis is a political category, not a medical one. Such disparate visionary thinkers as Thomas Szasz, R.D. Laing, John Perry, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari have all accepted this. That does not mean that there are not people who are suffering with what can descriptively be called paranoid delusions or other symptoms of great psychic suffering. But we need to enter more deeply into their inner worlds in order to understand the true nature of their suffering, and recognize that they are mirroring back to us our collective delusions and sadistic impositions of pseudo-realities. We need to recognize our interbeing, as Thich Nhat Hanh has phrased it. Otherwise, we are simply punishing the Other for our own sin of hegemonic collective egocentricity. In the old Soviet Union, political dissidents were routinely diagnosed as psychotic and locked up in mental institutions. Obviously, if one was not satisfied with Stalinism, clearly the best of all possible social arrangements, one had to be mad. But we need to explore the possibility that all psychotic symptoms are, among other things, passive political acts of resistance to a world order that is itself psychotically unbalanced.

4. Tunbridge
Winters are cold here, as the high-stacked piles of firewood testify. Many farmers, seeking ways to milk their cows without having to brave the brisk outdoors, have connected their homes to their barns with rambling additions or enclosed walkways, simple but sure examples of Yankee ingenuity.
Covered bridges are another common sight in Vermont, and five of them can be found in Tunbridge alone. (The town, though, was named for an 18th-century nobleman, not a bridge.) The most prominent wooden span is the Howe Bridge, south of town. Dating from 1879, it is almost as old as Tunbridge's self-proclaimed World's Fair—a festival that has been held each autumn since the 1860s. The celebration features such pastoral pleasures as floral displays and fiddling contests.
5. Brookfield
At South Royalton, across the river from the white buildings of the Vermont Law School, take Rte. 14 north to Royalton, a town that was burned to the ground in 1780 by raiding British soldiers and Indians. Next you'll pass through three separate Randolphs: South, East, and North. (There's also a Randolph Center and Randolph Village—a small indication of how Vermonters can make the most out of anything, even a name.)
In Brookfield stop at Sunset Lake, site of the annual Ice Harvest Festival. If you're here the last weekend in January, you'll witness some of the area's hardiest residents using ice saws and tongs as they demonstrate the old-time skill of carving out block ice.
Still waters run deep at Sunset Lake—so deep that it has been impractical to connect the two sides of the lake with a conventional anchored bridge. The solution: a "floating bridge" buoyed by almost 400 barrels. Its simplicity is a perfect match for the understated beauty of Brookfield itself.
6. Barre
Forested mountains hem in Rte. 14 as it snakes northward through a chasm called the Williamstown Gulf. Farther on, after emerging from the deep valley, the drive enters the town of Barre, where the New England work ethic is clearly in evidence.
More than 1,500 residents are employed by local granite quarries and stonecutters, which produce one-third of the nation's memorial stones. The biggest pit of them all—the largest, deepest granite quarry in the world—lies to the southeast of Barre in aptly named Graniteville, where the Rock of Ages company has been mining stones from the earth since 1885. Guided tours are available in summer, and visitors can watch as skilled stonecutters reshape blocks weighing as much as 200 tons.
Spreading across the hillsides north of Barre, Hope Cemetery, like an outdoor sculpture garden, is replete with the finished products of the granite-carving artisans. The stones have been fashioned with consummate skill to resemble everything from racing cars, airplanes, and soccer balls to the detailed likenesses of people.
7. Craftsbury Common
Christened the Northeast Kingdom, this backcountry corner of Vermont has a subdued rural grace that combines lakes, woodlands, and meadows. As Rte. 14 rolls through the region, it passes towns with names reflecting the area's French-Canadian and Yankee heritages: East Montpelier and Calais, Woodbury and Hardwick.
Farther along, just past the serene expanse of Eligo Pond, detour onto Craftsbury Road for a visit to a string of hamlets that—probably not a surprise by now—also share a common name: East Craftsbury, Craftsbury, and Craftsbury Common. Elegant farmhouses and rolling ridges bedecked with apple orchards and evergreens are bountiful here. On the approach to Craftsbury Common, though, the trees part to reveal a splendid hilltop village green—a large and well-tended lawn surrounded by immaculate clapboard homes, steepled churches, and a grand country inn.
If you have the time and are inclined to continue still farther north on Rte. 14—perhaps all the way to Canada—you'll travel beside the Black River through a land much like the boreal forest that lies in the far north, just south of the Arctic Circle. Lakes and bogs speckle the countryside, and woodlands of spruce trees and other evergreens extend for miles. In the towns that populate this northern province, it is said, you are more likely to meet a moose than another person.

SUNSHINE can be turned into electricity at night in this thermosolar plant. Gemasolar, in Fuentes de Andalucía near Seville in Spain, is the first commercial-scale plant to use an innovative "battery" that stores energy as molten salts.
More than 2600 heliostats - flat mirrors - over 185 hectares reflect and concentrate sunlight onto the top of a tower. In the "power tower", potassium and sodium nitrate salts are heated to 565 °C and then pass through a heat exchanger where they turn water into steam to drive turbines in the 19.9 megawatt plant.
When there's more heat than is needed to turn the turbines, some of the hot salt solution is stored in a tank. This battery allows electricity to be generated for up to 15 hours when there's no sunshine. "In summertime, we expect to run continuously most days," says Santiago Arias, technical director of Torresol Energy, which owns the plant.
In the winter, daily sunlight is inadequate for the plant to operate at full power throughout the night. Arias says Torresol can either run the plant until the battery is exhausted, or it can modulate the power of the turbine during darkness so it is at its maximum between 11 and 11.30 pm, when electricity demand - and price - peaks, "so we are able to reach the next day without stopping the turbine".
In this way Gemasolar should be able to generate electricity for 6500 hours a year, which the company claims is up to three times as long as other renewable energies.
Torresol is also building twin 50 MW parabolic plants in southern Spain. In these, oil in a pipe is heated by sunlight reflected from parabolic mirrors. They, too, will have molten salt batteries, able to generate power for 7.5 hours after the sun sets. The plants will begin commercial operation on 1 January 2012.

Seven rescued from capsized boat on Lake of the WoodsA team effort resulted in the dramatic rescue of a Grand Forks-area man who'd been in the water of Lake of the Woods nearly 3 hours after the boat he was in capsized Monday afternoon.
By: Brad Dokken, Grand Forks (N.D.) Herald
For a while Monday afternoon, Lake of the Woods County Sheriff Dallas Block thought authorities were going to be dragging the bottom of Lake of the Woods for a body.
Instead, a team effort between local resorts and authorities from as far away as Roseau, Minn., resulted in the dramatic rescue of a Grand Forks-area man who'd been in the water nearly 3 hours after the boat he was in capsized Monday afternoon.
"It was a tremendous rescue," Block said this morning. "We had rough water — 8-foot-plus waves — so you can just imagine. We thought we were going to have a dragging operation, and it turned out we had a successful rescue and only because of the help of our resorters."
According to Block, seven men from the Grand Forks area were anchored about six miles north of Pine Island on Monday afternoon when the boat capsized. The boat had taken on water, unbeknownst to the anglers, because of problems with the bilge pump, Block said.
One of the men caught a fish, Block said, and when the rest of the anglers walked to that side of the boat to witness the catch, the 25-foot Sea Ray capsized.
Six of the men were rescued by other boats nearby, Block said, but one man fishing in the bow area was unable to get free of the craft.
Block said the sheriff's department received word of the capsizing about 2 p.m. Monday.
"When we got the report, we know the boat had capsized and six people had been picked up and one was missing," Block said.
Names of the seven men onboard weren't immediately available this morning.
The sheriff said Brian Ney of Adrian's Resort was on the lake and swam to the capsized boat. Ney talked to the man trapped inside the bow, Block said, learning he still had plenty of oxygen. Divers from the Roseau Police Department and Baudette then got into the cabin and rescued the man, who by that time had been trapped about 2½ hours, Block said.
Ney didn't immediately respond to requests for comment this morning.
According to Block, Steve Ballard of Ballard's Resort and Tony Beckel of Sportsman's Lodge were able to hook on to the boat and tow it to shore. Also assisting in the rescue were personnel from Wheeler's Point Resort and the U.S. Border Patrol, which supplied a boat and a diver.
"Thanks to a combined effort, we were successful," Block said.
The sheriff said the men wouldn't have had the problems they encountered with the boat taking on water if they'd known about the faulty bilge pump.
"But on the other hand, this lake needs to be respected," Block said. "It can get rough fast."
Look for a more complete account of the rescue in Friday's Herald.

Stills from Rome (click for larger image)
A generously budgeted show jointly produced by HBO and the BBC, ROME takes viewers back to 52 BC for a chance to relive the reign of Julius Caesar. The first season revolves around the lives of two Roman soldiers, Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson), who win favor with Caesar (Ciaran Hinds) by defeating a mutinous plot from the devious Pompey Magnus (Kenneth Cranham). This affords the two men a gateway into the lives of Rome's ruling classes, and so the season unfolds, with intricately woven plots, fine acting, and stunning recreations of the ancient city, to provide a thoroughly engrossing television show. Details have been painstakingly pored over to ensure accuracy, so both history buffs and viewers less versed in the ways of Caesar should find something to enjoy here. This release contains the entire first season of the show.

valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
Hi everybody,
I'm buying myself a new woodfired oven, and unfortunately, Forno Bravo doesn't have a dealer in my area.
My two options are a valoriani oven 36" Ovens for pizza VALORIANI - Ovens for family or Ambrogi jolly 34".
Thank you for your help, Guy
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
The valorianis are fairly notorious for having heat balance issues that make them less than ideal for Neapolitan pizza. What's the inner dome height on the Ambrogi?
By the way, you are looking at wood ovens, correct? On the page I found, the Ambrogi ovens reference a 'burner.' Gas ovens are showing some promise, but are still relatively untested.
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
Any consideration of building one? Seems like there was a recent poster who was or is building an wood fired oven from Israel. Lots of people on this forum who had never laid a brick and have successfully built an oven.
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
Check your email.
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all, so I won't comment on the Valoriani, lol.
All of the Ambrogi ovens I have seen specs on in the past have nice 12-13" dome heights and seem to function very nicely. You don't see many of them here in the US, but they seem to be very nice ovens.
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
This is not a be nice forum, but be "Helpful". If a product deserve negative appraisal, give it, each person will make their final decision, others might disagree with your opinion and may give valid facts to disprove your assessment. What most of us want is the best advice that we can give or receive from members who have been there and done that.
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
For the most part that was meant as a joke. The truth of it is there is something about Valoriani ovens that just doesn't work right, but I've never been able to figure out what it is. Normally a flawed oven has a glaring flaw. The dome is too high(for pizza), the vent is wrong, it's poorly insulated, ext. Not only is their nothing glaring about Valoriani ovens, there is nothing at all, but in my experience they are way out of balance. It seems like every pizzeria around here that opens with a wood fired oven has a Valoriani. I've seen obviously skilled pizza makers from Naples struggle with them. I've seen high school kids probably making minimum wage struggle with them. I've seen everyone between struggle with them, and I've talked with many of them about it. Once you drop the temperature out of Neapolitan ranges they work fine, but why buy an oven that can't do Neapolitan pizza if you have options that can?
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
Thanks to you all!
I think that I'll buy the ambrogi :)
scott- I don't sure about the exect height, but i thiink that it around 10" maybe a little more.
Russell (Utahbeehiver)- I wanted to build my oven, but unfortunately I don't have the time :(
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
Hi Guy,
I see that they sell the insulation as an accessory, be sure to get enough.
Re: valoriani vs. ambrogi for Neapolitan pizza
I did checked this all insulation thing and Ambrogi's dealer said that the oven comes good to go and the only problem is direct rain.
somebody here have and experience with those ovens and knows if it true?
Thanks a lot, Guy

After a resolution to purchase $275,000 in video arraignment equipment was defeated by the Southampton Town Board on December 8, the measure was reintroduced and approved this Tuesday. Previously, councilwoman and supervisor-elect Anna Throne-Holst joined with councilman Chris Nuzzi in voting down a measure to bond, or take out a loan, to finance the project which needed four votes of support to move forward.
Two weeks later, Throne-Holst appeared to be on board with the idea and voted along with the supervisor and her fellow councilwomen in favor of issuing $275,000 in bonds to purchase the equipment. The video system is expected to be installed into the new Southampton Town Justice Court located in Hampton Bays. The town justice courts are expected to be operational out of the new facilities by January of next year.
At a previous work session in late October, the town justices strongly lobbied for purchase of the equipment. Although the initial costs for the project are substantial, Judge Deborah Kooperstein argued the measure would save money for local municipalities, especially for Sag Harbor Village Police, in the long run.
Because Sag Harbor Village doesn't have a justice court system of its own, village officers must accompany defendants to and from the Southampton Town Justice Court for proceedings and the travel time encumbered by these trips cuts into officers' work shifts. The situation is an expense to the village in more ways than one. The village must pay overtime for the officers chaperoning the defendants and also cover the transportation costs. With the move to the Hampton Bays facility pending, the relocation will exacerbate these costs for the village.
With a video arraignment system, a defendant could be held in a holding area in Sag Harbor with a television hooked up to a live-feed connected to a monitor in the town's court, thus the defendant and the Sag Harbor Village Officer wouldn't be required to leave the village.

I was wanting to get rid of the 'Wing because I have severe arthritis and am afraid I may drop it in a parking lot or at a stoplight sometime. But none of the maxis felt any more secure in those situations either. I never got a chance to try out any of the maxis on the open road, which I'm assuming they would be at their best. The Majesty does have a valve adjustment interval of 25,000 miles, with no check required after break in. But according to the Majesty forums, you have to pull the engine out to get to the valves, about $600 at a dealer. 25,000 miles would be about 2 years for me. I don't know about the Burg, but if that is what you want, then I would definitely go for it. Definitely a good idea to be riding what you like, if you can afford it.
I bought a Majesty a couple of years ago as a daily commuter partly because of the huge under-seat storage. I enjoyed the adventure of figuring out all the things it could do well that I never thought were possible (hint, put on a set of Pirelli Diablos as soon as you get it). I just bought one of the new BMW scooters and man am I impressed. If maxi scooters keep evolving and improving the breed, I can't see why 90% of my riding desires couldn't be satisfied by it. A Ducati Hypermotard would take care of the other 10% nicely... Christmas is coming hint, hint, hint

For example, if you have a science project, you might break it down into these steps:
Research possible topics and decide on a topic.
Research information on topic at your school, at the library, on the Internet, or by using other resources.
Plan and then perform any tests to prove/disprove your theory.
Create any visuals.
Write and arrange the information about the topic, the results of your tests, and your conclusions.
Plan and create the final project (for example, on three-panel pasteboard). Before you create your final project, make sure you have all the parts necessary, such as colored markers, stickers, paint, and so on. You definitely don't want to wake up your parents to drive to a 24-hour store for supplies!
The trick is to include these steps into your schedule so that you aren't left with the whole science project to complete the night before it's due.
The same is true for reading assignments, including books on your various school subjects (social studies, history, and so on), as well as any literature reading. Make a plan to read specific chapters by specific dates. When the test date comes, you'll be familiar with the material . . . and able to focus on studying (rather than trying to read and study at the last minute). For example, by using this method, you may have to read two chapters a week, which is far more manageable than thinking about reading a 300-page book all at once!

Car won't start due to oil contamination in distributor
The distributor may become internally contaminated with engine oil because of an internal seal failure. This causes ignition failure because the distributor cap has filled with oil. If this happens, the car will not start.
The Constant Control Relay Module May Fail
There are reports of failures of the CCRM or Constant Control Relay Module. The CCRM has relays and switches inside that control or provide power to the engine cooling fan, AC clutch (to engage the AC compressor), fuel pump and powertrain control module (PCM). Single switches or relays can fail internally causing a number of different symptoms including no start conditions (inoperative fuel pump or PCM), engine running warm due to inoperative cooling fan, or the AC might not blow cold air.
Power Steering Pump/Gearbox Problems Due to Fluid Contamination
Failure to change the power steering fluid can cause the fluid to become gray with metal particles. The contaminated fluid can damage the power steering pump resulting in a growling noise when the wheel is turned; the damaged pump will require replacement to eliminate the noise.. Life of the power steering gearbox and pump will be shortened if the fluid is not serviced regularly.
Oil Leak From Distributor Shaft Seal
An external Engine oil leak may develop from the distributor O-ring seal. A new O-ring seal will be needed to correct this leak.
Engine Stalling and/or Hesitation on Acceleration due to Faulty Idle Air Bypass Valve
If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve. This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.
Clunk and/or Rattle Due to Worn Inner Tire Rod Ends
While steering, if you hear a clunk or a rattle, or if you experience premature tire wear, this could indicate the inner tie rod ends are loose or worn and will require replacement.
Rough Running Engine and/or Noise
Valve seats (components in the cylinder head that help seal the valve) can fall out. When this happens, it causes rough running and creates noise. Replacement of the cylinder head is commonly required to fix this problem.
Engine Overheating Due to Cracked Cylinder Head
The engine may overheat due to coolant loss as a result of a cracked cylinder head. In most cases the cylinder head will require replacement to correct this concern.
Updated electrical ignition switch available to address fire hazard
For the 2.3L 4 Cylinder and 5.0L V8 engine, the electrical ignition switch poses a fire hazard. An updated switch is available.

Wichita, Kansas is a marketing superstar in an area of expertise all of the USA should be striving to reach: net exporting (exporting more goods than they are importing). Wichita's model offers an example of what our own small and medium businesses could employ to restore the local economy throughout the communities of Northwest Ohio.
Wichita ranked first in export growth from 2003 – 2008 then suffered declines in 2009 and 2010. A Brookings Institution study of Wichita's exports showed that those exports translated into jobs (22 jobs out of every 100 are export related) and more importantly these jobs paid 10 – 20 percent more than non exporting industries regardless of worker educational level. The area is now gearing up to resume its leadership role in net exporting by marshalling its communities, governments, banks, local colleges and various exporting organizations to work together toward increasing area exports of goods and services.
Northwest Ohio should follow that example. Now is the time to consider exporting. We as Americans cannot ignore globalization and we cannot afford to continue to be net importers of goods and services. Government data predicts that half of all US businesses will be involved with International Trade by 2010. By that time 96 percent of all exports will be sold by small to medium businesses.
The City of Oregon took in considerably less revenue last year than the year before, according Administrator Mike Beazley, who gave an end of the year financial assessment to city council at a meeting on Jan. 10.
"Our revenues came in about $1.6 million under budget," he said. "Last year, we took in $17 million. This year, we took in $15,496,000."
Income tax revenue fluctuated between $17.4 million and $17.6 million each year in 2007, 2008, and 2009, he added. "There was an overpayment by a large corporate taxpayer that got refunded the following year. This year, on the income tax side, we took in $15.9 million. That's a fairly significant downturn," he said.
"We did manage to control the impact on our revenues by really curtailing expenditures this year by $800,000. We ended up this year with a hit to the reserve of about $780,000. We expected it to be something north of a million, and it ended up coming in a couple hundred thousand dollars short of that."
After the meeting, Beazley said the city has about $11 million in reserve.
Almost $1.5 billion changed hands at farmers' markets across the United States in 2010. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of markets rose by 16 percent last year--from 5,247 to 6,132. More than three million Americans regularly buy food from the more than 60,000 farmers who sell at these markets each year.
Even though I'm a big fan of this kind of grocery shopping, I was pretty surprised by those numbers. This isn't the result of some multi-million dollar corporate advertising campaign. Farmers' markets succeed because more and more Americans prefer to eat food that's fresh, grown locally, and bought directly from the farmer who grew or produced it. Instead of popping open a can or grabbing something from a box, you can get a real feel for your food and how it was created.
From Windham, Maine, to Hanalai, Hawaii, consumers are finding that going to farmers' markets isn't just for foodies or health fanatics. It's about better quality, tastier food, purchased in a location where you get a sense of community amidst the crisp greens, fresh meats, and artisan cheeses. You get to know where your food comes from and who produces it. You'll never get that knowledge in a big box store.
New rules for the Ohio House of Representatives, written for the most part by Randy Gardner (R- Bowling Green), were approved by the House Tuesday.
Republicans gained control of the House – and the chance to set the body's rules for the session that recently started - in the November election. Rep. Gardner said the rules will "promote a more open and fair legislative process."
He points to what he sees as three significant changes:
• A two-day waiting and reading period has bee re-established for any final votes on bills containing appropriations. The rule requires two days following a conference committee vote before the House may consider the budget.
Northwood's Economic Development Committee is looking into making an outparcel off Curtis Road more attractive for future economic development.
"It's been there a long time," said Councilman Dave Gallaher, chairman of the committee. He brought up the matter at a council meeting on Jan. 4.
"It's a nice location. You have to ask why it isn't being developed, in spite of the economy. Is there something we can do to help that process along?" said Gallaher after the meeting.
The parcel is between Appleby's Restaurant and I-280 on Curtis Road.

Pre-Release Special: Lynn Margulis!
Posted By jmccharen On October 30, 2012 @ 9:00 am In Chelsea Green News,Science, Nature & Environment | Comments Disabled
"It was life—profligate, teeming life in all its weirdness—that held the magic for her, not this featherless biped with its confused aspirations. Lynn intuited and doggedly gathered evidence to show that most anything we two-leggeds take special pride in—our capacities for cogitation, conviviality, and culture—had been invented, eons before, by the microbial entities that compose us."
—David Abram, contributor, and author of Spell of the Sensuous
When scientist Lynn Margulis died last year [1], the world lost a true intellectual revolutionary — but her vibrant legacy lives on.
Margulis's son and longtime collaborator Dorion Sagan collected essays from his mother's colleagues and friends, and compiled them into a beautiful tribute. To celebrate the book's arrival, we're putting Lynn Margulis: The Life and Legacy of a Scientific Rebel [2] on sale this week for 25% off.Sagan remembered his mother in an "evolutionary eulogy", adapted from what he told his children after Margulis's passing.
Your grandmother was so smart, talked so fast, and about so many subjects that hardly anybody—maybe even not she herself—could always understand everything she said. She said: "Evolution is no linear family tree, but change in the single multidimensional being that has grown to cover the entire surface of Earth. " She said: "The idea that we are 'stewards of the earth' is another symptom of human arrogance. Imagine yourself with the task of overseeing your body's physical processes. Do you understand the way it works well enough to keep all its systems in operation? Can you make your kidneys function? . . . Are you conscious of the blood flow through your arteries? . . . We are unconscious of most of our body's processes, thank goodness, because we'd screw it up if we weren't. The human body is so complex, with so many parts. . . The idea that we are consciously caretaking such a large and mysterious system is ludicrous."Read the entire essay at Seven Pillars House of Wisdom [3]. Lynn Margulis touched the lives of many scientists and other thinkers, many of whom contributed essays to the book. James Lovelock, who first articulated the hypothesis that the Earth's many interconnected biotic systems essentially behave as a unified organism (what came to be known as the Gaia Theory), write in the excerpt below about first meeting Margulis.

A group tied to a GOP firm that allegedly took Sharron Angle and other longshot candidates for a ride in 2010, is up with a new ad (above) … along with a million phonecall march in Iowa, on behalf of Herman Cain.
The web ad by Americans for Herman Cain, which is linked to a firm called Base Connect, which a Salon.com investigation found charged Angle more than $600,000 for her failed Senate campaign, and that typically kept 75, 85 or even 95 percent of the money it took in from candidates, rather than spending it on their campaigns, has taken the race angle on the Cain sex harassment scandal full bore. They are riding the "high tech lynching" meme in their web strategy, including in the new web ad:
And so is Herman Cain.
From my column this week in the Herald:
How ironic would it be if Herman Cain, the former Godfather's Pizza CEO and onetime head of the National Restaurant Association, who for many African-Americans too often traffics in uncomfortable stereotypes, was brought down by the ultimate stereotype of black men.
Cain, who delights conservative audiences with his pidgin English — saying things like "I's don't care" and who makes an elaborate show of not being able to pronounce "Uzbekistan," writes in his book that he nicknamed himself "Cornbread" and would like that to be his Secret Service codename as president. In This is Herman Cain: My Journey to the White House, Cain perfunctorily dismisses the indignities segregation visited upon him and his family, presenting an "aw shucks" view of America that's highly favored by the right.
He's said he wants to inject Gospel into Hail to the Chief, and is known to break into a spiritual at random moments; even crooning He Looked Beyond My Fault at the National Press Club after he admitted knowing more than he previously claimed about sex harassment allegations unearthed by the online site Politico, stemming from his time as head of the restaurant lobby.
Cain has eagerly played the role of the tea party's all-purpose anti-racism defense. Never mind the Obama witch doctor signs; if they like Herman, how could any member of the tri-corner hat brigade be racist?
He has slipped on occasion, like the time he called Texas Gov. Rick Perry's choice to vacation at a ranch branded with the N-word "insensitive." He was summarily slapped down by the right for that offense, and quickly reverted to form, telling Fox News there is no racism whatsoever on the right, but lots of it on the left.
Cain repeated the meme on Tuesday regarding his present scandal. But the skeletons hopped out of the closet of an organization with close ties to the GOP establishment, in a story likely handed to the reporters by one of Cain's Republican rivals.
The truth is, even the most lurid allegations won't necessarily damage Cain with his diehard supporters, many of whom idolize Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for surviving Anita Hill's charges of crude behavior when the two worked for the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.
The top talkers are also standing by Cain, at least for now, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, who clerked for Thomas and on whose radio show a caller on Tuesday said she was so sure Cain is being falsely accused, she'd write in his name on her 2012 ballot if he doesn't make the GOP cut.
In defending Cain, the right is employing a creative defense for an ideological group that claims it views "playing the race card" as tantamount to selling your soul to the devil: They're throwing down the race card.
Anyone who repeats the allegations against Cain is "racist." Anyone who speaks unfondly of Herman Cain is racist. And anyone who doesn't properly appreciate black Republicans like Herman Cain? Racist.
For all the queasiness of the Cain scandal, including his 999 explanations, it's ironic that the petard upon which Cain is being hoisted involves some of the oldest and ugliest stereotypes about the supposed sexual aggressiveness of black men — stereotypes Herman Cain would probably deny ever existed in his rose-colored version of American history. …
Read more here
What's amazing is that Cain is using this two-front strategy with no sense of irony: accusing amorphous "liberals" and the media of beating him up because he is a black conservative, and accusing the above of "lynching" him just like Clarence Thomas, while also accusing the Rick Perry camp of being the ones who orchestrated the leak of his sex harassment issues from the 90s, and beyond. But both things can't be true. Isn't he essentially accusing the Texas governor of being the one "lynching" him? And what does that look like for the right?
Are conservatives really going to stand for one of their own making such blunt force use of what they would normally call "the race card?" And how crazy is it that people like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are dealing that card, too?
We have entered bizarre territory on this one.
I find myself having to quote RedState here. So here I go, from someone called "Streiff":
The whole Herman Cain story has caused me more disappointment in my political allies than any other event in my time as a blogger. As I sit here, mouth agape, I am watching a number of people I respect, like Andy McCarthy at NRO, become indistinguishable from Lanny Davis and James Carville during the Clinton-Lewinski scandal.
The fact that we have a story that was reported by Politico, or Pravda for that matter, is irrelevant because we know what they reported was correct. At some point in his tenure as president of the NRA, Herman Cain was the subject of two complaints of sexual harassment that resulted in settlements in the $35-45K range being paid to the complainants and the parties are bound by an non-disclosure agreement. The fact that we don't know anything about the substance of the complaints is the responsibility of one man: Herman Cain. Through a period of four days Cain has engaged in evasions and outright lies over the events. But no one on the right seems to care very much about that as honesty is now a bug rather than a feature in our candidates. Because Politico.
Already people are lining up to accuse the women involved of being dishonest and predatory. We're told they are anonymous allegations. We're told that Cain can't respond to unknown allegations. This is just crap on its face The women aren't anonymous. The allegations aren't unknown. The women and allegations were sufficiently known to allow the NRA to cut them checks. We, the American public, are kept in the dark because Herman Cain won't ask the NRA to release all sides from the non-disclosure agreement. Because Politico.
Herman Cain's pattern of lying about these incidents began in 2003, by his own admission, when he told his campaign manager there was one incident while he knew there were at least two settlements. This isn't important. Because Politico.
We're told that most sexual harassment claims are frivolous and people who make them are just paid off, willy nilly, to leave because of the expense of litigation. Is that true in your company? How many of you have wives, daughters, etc., who have sued their boss for sexual harassment just to collect the money? Can I have a show of hands? But we KNOW these cases are frivolous, even though Cain refuses to cooperate in getting the details out. Because Politico.
Cain and even ordinarily sensible guys like Rush Limbaugh are claiming that Cain is the victim of racism over this, do we really think any WHITE Republican would have received this level of support in a similar circumstance? No. But the allegations are racist. Because Politico.
This is just ridiculous.
Unlike my colleague Leon, I don't see where anyone but Herman Cain has a responsibility to be concerned about Cain's future political viability. A career which I have to note has not extended to actually being elected to anything in the past. He has created this mess and it is incumbent upon him, alone, to get out of it. We have enough bored dilettantes running for office out there as is so I find the loss of one underwhelming. …
I have never said this about a RedState post before, but Mr. or Ms. Streiff: hear-hear.

GREENFIELD — Hancock County is under a blizzard warning today, and local officials are bracing for high winds with several inches of snow that could cause hazardous conditions.
Several local street department workers set out on the roads Christmas Day to lay down salt in preparation of the storm system coming in from the southwest. The National Weather Service calls for 8 to 12 inches of snow through this evening.
"This is going to be the type of storm we might see once every five years in central Indiana," said meteorologist John Kwiatkowski. "It's going to be particularly important that people make sure they're safe and it's best to stay at home."
Kwiatkowski said much of the snow will come after 7 a.m. today, and winds will be up to 40 miles per hour.

|TRAFICANT, James A., Jr.,
Washington, D.C. – Legislation to reform the Internal Revenue Service signed into law yesterday by the President includes two major taxpayer protection provisions authored by U.S. Rep. James A. Traficant, Jr. (D–OH). The first shifts the burden of proof in a civil tax case from the taxpayer to the IRS. The second limits the seizure authority of the IRS, including a requirement that the IRS obtain a court order before seizing a family residence. "For more than ten years I've fought for these changes," said Traficant. "The IRS was opposed, the Treasury Department was opposed, the judges were opposed, and, for years, the Ways and Means Committee was opposed. There was only one group that supported these changes: the American people. The country owes a debt of gratitude to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer for his determined leadership in ensuring that my provisions were included in the final version of the bill."
In addition to the two Traficant provisions, the new law makes a number of other major reforms. These include easing the treatment of so-called innocent spouses, suspending or reducing penalties and interest in certain instances, extending the attorney-client privilege in most cases to accountants and other authorized to practice before the IRS, creating a special board to oversee IRS management and operations, and giving the IRS more flexibility in managing personnel.
Since coming to Congress in 1985, Traficant has championed legislation to shift the burden of proof in a civil tax case. The government already bears the burden of proof in criminal cases. But most tax disputes are civil, and the burden in civil cases falls to the party in possession of the evidence, typically the taxpayer. The Traficant provision shifts the burden to the government to prove the taxpayer wrong but requires the taxpayer to keep records and cooperate with the IRS in any administrative proceedings preceding a court case. Traficant's burden of proof provision was included in the IRS reform bill passed by the House last fall.
In addition to shifting the burden of proof, Traficant has for years promoted legislation to rein in the ability of the IRS to arbitrarily seize taxpayer property. While not in the House-passed version of the bill, Traficant worked with the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, U.S. Rep. Bill Archer (R–TX), to have the Traficant seizure provision included in the final version of the bill sent to the President. The provision requires the IRS to give a delinquent taxpayer 30 days to request a hearing before seizing any property, requires the IRS to seize business property only as a last resort, and mandates that a personal residence cannot be seized without a court order.
"I fought for 13 years to get these important reforms enacted into law," said Traficant. "Needless to say I am gratified. At long last the American people no longer have to fear their own government. The IRS will now have to honor the Constitution. This is one of the most important accomplishments of the Congress this decade."
A number of other Traficant-authored IRS reform initiatives have been enacted into law in recent years. These include a mandatory taxpayer sensitivity training program for IRS agents, a provision to make it easier for taxpayers to sue the IRS for willful misconduct, and increasing the penalty for IRS agent misconduct from $100,000 to $1 million.2009
