Re: Sourdough crust
Perhaps I am interpreting Jay's statement about retarding incorrectly, but I took it to mean retarding in the course of making BREAD.
IMO, pizza crust is different in that you're not dependent on the gas action during proofing to nearly the same extent as you are with a loaf of bread. Assuming a properly constructed dough, as long as there is enough activity and hydration to give a good oven spring once it hits the heat, a blob of pizza crust is very forgiving in terms of proof/retard. Even with the most gentle of shaping, you're degassing a pizza round most of the way anyway.
For the purposes of my "recipe" the fridge retard is 100% for ease of do-ahead and prep, but it certainly can't hurt flavor-wise, either. As I said previously, I think this is where the sourdough is really a better option for pizza rounds because it seems like it holds for a number of days without getting weird vs. IDY which definitely declines after day 1 or 2. There seems to be something different (and better) about the way sourdough acts on gluten vs. IDY. Or perhaps it is just the consequence of sourdough being slower as Jay said.
I am hosting at the WFO on Sunday. I am going to start with feeding/build today for about 25 rounds. Whenever they are ready, they are ready and I know they'll be happy and in tip-top shape in the fridge until ready to be used vs. IDY which I would feel compelled to be making/using same day.
Never fear! If you know your starter reasonably well, I urge you to give it a try for at least part of your dough stock. I find I learn the most when I can compare things side by side and it sounds like you have the perfect opportunity this weekend!
Re: Sourdough crust
Thanks Splatgirl for the good advice. I fed my starter yesterday eve so I'll make a side-by-side batch (on Sat) for my Sunday event as well. I have tons of Caputo 000 so I'll use that for the time being over KA's.
I've printed out your Sourdough crust and look forward to trying it. Thanks, Dino

Re: Sourdough crust
Hi Splatg!
I agree with you for the most part. However, I think retarding dough improves flavor (up to a point) whether bread or pizza. The challenge with sourdough is that my yeast basically quits at refrigerator temps so I get very little leavening during the retard. I actually do my sourdough breads all at room temp. Dino's idea of adding some sourdough is quite workable and will give a more complex dough. The challenge with pure sourdough is timing. I tend to do it more like sourdough pancakes and use the sourdough starter more as a flavoring than as a leaven - so I still use commercial yeast (though if you add too much SD starter you can knock the pH down to where the IDY is significantly slowed 15 to 20 percent should be safe but I usually use only 5 to 10. As you pointed out the level of proofing is not as critical in pizza as bread.
It's easy to lose sight of the fact that there are two sources of oven spring. The gas in bubbles in the dough and the gas that is dissolved in the dough. Colder dough holds more CO2 than hot dough (and as a secondary effect, alcohols in the dough vaporize). When placed in the oven these gases leave "solution" and migrate to form and enlarge pockets which I think creates a good bit of the pizza puff in the first 45 seconds or so. A good example is to roll out a pie - there can't be any big bubbles left! But when you bake it you can get a lot of puff (if it isn't overproofed).
I look forward to hearing what you think about the results, Dino! Experiments are always good when you know what you are doing different!
Bake On!
Re: Sourdough crust
Speaking of sourdough--I did 6kg. of dough for the weekend party, and about 2kg. of that was whole wheat. Other than being ~75% WW flour, it was made, handled and stored exactly like the 4kg. of all white flour dough, but it had a significantly more pronounced sour flavor. Why?
I also add vital wheat gluten to my whole wheat doughs at a rate of about 30g. per kg. but it seems weird to me that that would make any difference in flavor...?
Re: Sourdough crust
Hi splatg!
That's a good size bake! You are, no doubt, reinforcing friendships as you give away the excess bread! (Either that or you had a hellaciously big party! Either way you gotta be winning points!)
WW has more flavor compounds (and nutrients) than white flour in the base case so it shouldn't be surprising the bread would have more flavor. In addition, sourdough loves WW and rye more than white flour due to the higher nutrients so it tends to be more active and that can give more flavor also.
The addition of vital wheat gluten is certainly not necessary but can be beneficial in generating a more ideal gluten matrix in the dough that will better capture CO2 and such and thereby provide greater oven spring than loaves w/o vital wheat...
I oscillate back and forth between whole wheat and bread dough. I made some pane Pugliese Friday at 73% hydration using AP. That was interestingly WET! I hope to get some photos up later.
Way to go!
Re: Sourdough crust
Makes sense about the nutrient content of WW. Thanks Jay.
It was pizza, and yea, I'm pretty much party central.
IIRC, this was the first time I've done WW sourdough for pizza. Surprising how much of a pronounced sour flavor it had vs. the white flour version that you'd not necessarily notice is sourdough. To be honest, I'm not sure I liked it.
I do like the VWG for anything over about 75% WW flour. It makes a huge difference in my 100% WW sandwich loaf that is one of my weekly bakes. With pizza dough, it makes it just as extensible and lovely as the all white flour version.
Re: Sourdough crust
Well Splatgirl, I made your sour-dough (SD) recipe at the begging of this thread and my usual Caputo-ADY w/ dollop of starter for side-by-side comparison. I put the SD in the wine cellar (58-60 deg) and the next day was shocked at it's activity. The dough silky, very smooth, very wet and bubbly. I was unable to stretch on the back of my hand like the standard recipe. It would tear in the middle so I just pushed it around on a floured peel. Oven spring was spectacular. Color, amazing. Taste, quite sour. THEN I saved my 3 other doughs for the "big" party the next day (So that's 2 days retardation). Still strong and lively as the pic below shows. It's on the right, the standard flat ball is on the left. Still made the same beautiful pie base, great oven spring but this time the sour flavor was not as pronounced, so it was actually even tastier.
Both doughs performed well, and the SD balls seems to allow for a more versatile, extended pre-prep and doesn't peak or over-rise like standard dough.
I did find that 250 grams was too small a ball since I couldn't stretch like I'm used to. Is that what you've found too? Maybe I was working too wet since I added more water due to hot, dry weather.
Thanks for sharing the great recipe and giving me another good choice in pizza bases. Oh, and being a novice at this, it was my 1st time using KA bread flour at pizza temps. I see it works fine.
Thanks again, Dino

Re: Sourdough crust
In my one or two forays into Caputo, I did find that I had to mod my shaping technique, FWIW.
My default method for stretching is to plop the dough blob from the container into a bowl of flour. Flip it over to coat the entire thing, then begin. If the blob is fully coated and there is a dusting covering the peel, it'll never, ever stick even if it's a super wet dough. I use wood peels...metal always gives me a problem because it doesn't hold the flour or allow even distribution. I consider an excess of flour under the pie a major character flaw.
I use a mix of shaping by holding the blob and gently pinching near the edge while letting it hang and stretch under its own weight, stretching over the backs of my knuckles to thin out the middle, and then flopping down onto the peel. I like to let it sit for a minute and relax once it's there and then return to give it a final little make-bigger nudge.
I've found I like my portions between 230 and 250g. but that's completely dependent on how big a pie you're used to and how thick you like your cornice. I am a smallish cornice, ~12-13" pie kinda girl.
So glad you got a good result! I have decided I'm making this WFO cookery thing look WAY too easy these days! I'm going to have to start turning the peel and oven over to my guests and letting a few disasters happen so they'll appreciate the learning curve we've all had to go through
Re: Sourdough crust
Splat - Jay - Dino,
Hay Ya'll, Thanks for having this discussion! It is a great learning experience for me to follow along... I am a promoter of all thing's naturally fermented!
Next to spend the time to learn about fermenting vinegar... we were traveling this weekend and was surprised to find a retail store in a mall that sells almost exclusively different flavored vinegar and olive oil... I guess we don't get out much, but that seemed pretty specialized to me...
And Splat, yes it is time to turn the oven over to the guests! I have found it to be great fun letting folks cook their own pizza in two minutes and less! They love it, great fun.. Oh a disaster or two here and there,, you can fix'm, or start over...
Re: Sourdough crust
Way to go Dino! As I recall there are critters in dough that break down acetic acid.
And Splat, be sure to have them sign a liability release in case their pies are inedible or they encase themselves in dough (a human calzone!)
Glad it helped Jed.

I'm not really sure why we love this day the way we do, and why every year, I take pictures like this one. Standing here, looking out at all these beautiful flowers–each one placed by someone–for another someone that they loved. It's really quite breathtaking.
We bring flowers for my sweet momma and my dear daddy–who loved each other so, so much. Momma always said, "Whatever you do, please don't ever put fake flowers on my grave." So of course, we don't.
She also asked us to remember her big brother, who died the same day he was born and weighed over 10 pounds. Poor little baby didn't even have a name. I've always wondered why.
We bring flowers to my grandma and grampa too. She loved baking bread and pies and cookies and he was a fisherman. In his earlier days, he worked as a magician. Isn't that just cool?
More lovely flowers.
I noticed this plaque on the side of a grave stone. It was put there to let people know that this person came to Utah between the years 1847 and 1897.
My great- grandma Sophia Beck needs one of those plaques too. She came from Sweden in 1864-ish and delivered about a million babies in Spanish Fork.
Hyrum was one of her sons–she had 7 or 8 of them–and two daughters, Elsie (my grandma) and Hannah.
Uncle Hyrum was in the American Legion–but I'm not sure what that means exactly.
Joseph E Beck was kinda the grandaddy of them all and helped settle the town of Spanish Fork in the first place.
I like to put flowers on his wife's grave because my Aunt Hannah was named after her so she must have been a sweet lady. Plus she died way too young.
This little sprite loved playing tag and catch with her Uncle Bald kid…
and spent a good deal of her time picking up any stray flower pots that had tipped over in the wind. She got a kick out of making everything, "pretty again."
There were even times when she had the best seat in the house.
My mom always said when we'd drive past these grave markers, "The Jexs' were your great-grandma's best friends in the whole world.
They had a broom making shop…and a parrot."
Momma also used to point up to those far-away mountains and say, "That's where the Indians used to come from." She told us that the town would pay young boys to be look-outs in the canyon. If the Indians just wanted to trade for supplies, it was ok. But if they were painted and looked mad, the kids had to haul it back to warn the town. How'd you like to live that way? Gives me shivers.
What a perfectly happy day to remember the family that we miss and love so much.
Positively perfect.
Thanks, Launi! The pictures are beautiful. We couldn't go to the graves on Memorial Day because we had our grandson home from Afghanistan recovering from shrapnel wounds. We are grateful that he is okay, and able to spend a little time with us. I am glad that you had such a wonderful day!

Lois who's son is he? What's his name?
Bless his heart. Please, please tell him thank you for serving our country…and all of us. So glad he's safe now. Good for you for taking care of him too.
I think a little booklet needs to be made for your grandchildren. It is quite a history. It is so beautifully put together.
I know part of why I love Memorial Day is because of Grandma and Grandpa Kirby. It's weird going to see them now… but I love feeling close to them in anyway possible. Memorial Day is actually turning into one of my favorites days of the year.

Josh Hamilton left the Texas Rangers on Thursday and agreed to a $125 million, five-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said the slugging free-agent outfielder had reached the deal with the AL West rival Angels. Two people familiar with the talks disclosed the amount and length of the contract, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet final. Hamilton's $25 million average salary matches Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard for the second-highest in baseball, trailing only Alex Rodriguez's $27.5 million average with the New York Yankees. Texas had hoped to sign the 2010 AL Most Valuable Player, who led the Rangers to consecutive World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011. Speaking Thursday after a Rangers' holiday luncheon, Daniels said he had just been informed of the decision by Hamilton's agent, Michael Moye. Daniels said he was disappointed ''to some degree,'' especially since the Rangers never got a cha...

This is an intentional flushing of the city's water system which is done on a routine basis to remove sediment from lines and keeps the entire water distribution system refreshed. Although it may appear to waste water, "flushing" the hydrants is part of a routine maintenance program necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system and to continue to deliver the highest quality water possible to our customers. Flushing of the dead end fire hydrants is a State of Texas requirement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
The process can take from 20 minutes to more than eight hours to complete. This flushing process may cause a temporary discoloration of the water for homes in the immediate vicinity. This discoloration consists primarily of harmless silt and precipitates and does not affect the safety of the water. If you experience discoloration in your water after crews have been flushing in your neighborhood, clear the pipes in your own home by running all water faucets for a minute or two.If you have questions about your water service, please call the City of DeSoto Utility Billing Department at 972.230.9600.

I couldn't agree more. The best thing a company can do is "home grow" their own talent! I always tell my clients to do this, but sometimes you just can't. You need a person with a specific talent RIGHT NOW! And, you cannot grow that talent quick enough for the current, pressing, need. Having said all that, a lot of the people unemployed right now are still putting limitations on themselves. They won't do a certain type of job, in a specific location, that pays less then what they were making, or whatever. There are a ton of excuses. A lot of times when I ask a "candidate", that's been out of work for a long time, where they are open to moving for an opportunity. They will give me a few places and that's it! In other words, they put a fence around themselves and limit their opportunities. It's a shame, but it happens. So, when you see companies in an article complaining they cannot find enough people to fill positions, that could be one of the reasons. Just a thought.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap of Season 2, Episode 8: Brandi and Kyle Talk!
It was all about fake tans and fake apologies on tonight's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And as always, the episode provided plenty of wisdom, including these life lessons: 1) If Adrienne ever invites you over for chicken, you should definitely eat before you go; 2) Describing the sounds that a trampoline makes will cause you to sound kinda crazy; and 3) If you own a secret bedroom that's concealed by a sliding wall, well, we don't even know what to say about you.
The episode, "The Opposite of Relaxation," began with some comic relief, as Lisa has to convince Adrienne not to wash her chicken with soap. (In other words, Adrienne's kids apparently get their mouths washed out with soap on a regular basis, whether they use a bad word or not.) And a note to Adrienne: When you have to ask your personal chef where ingredients as simple as salt and pepper are kept, it might be time to spend a little more time in the kitchen.
Lisa is preparing for Pandora's engagement party, which is when it's nice to have extravagantly wealthy friends, regardless of how borderline creepy they might be. Mohamed, that's your cue to enter!
Lisa indeed stops by Mohamed Hadid's palatial estate to discuss the party plans, and Mohamed is accompanied by a young woman named Julia. We don't exactly know who Julia is, since she doesn't actually say anything at any point. However, we can surmise that she's either: 1) his girlfriend; or 2) there to sell him Girl Scout cookies. (We kid, we kid! She's definitely of age! By at least a few years!)
Mohamed is planning an Arabian Nights theme party, so he asks Lisa if it's okay if he brings a camel to the party. (In case you're keeping score, "asking someone if he can bring a camel to a party" is Reason #3,726 why Mohamed's life is different from our lives.)
Mohamed then gives Lisa a tour of his place. And to be honest, we're sure that Lisa's already gotten that tour many times before, but the only type of person who would own such a ridiculously large home is also the type of person who constantly wants to take people on tours of it.
And sure, it was fun to see his place, but the one room we didn't need to see? That secret bedroom. He's like, "Here's my dining room that looks a banquet hall where a king would be eating a leg of mutton; here's my 92nd bathroom; and here's my creepy tantric sex dungeon. What's that — you think it's weird that I assume that guests at your daughter's engagement party will needing a place for 'some rest'? Isn't that what people do at parties?"
And then the rest of the episode was devoted to Adrienne's incredibly awkward spa day, although we're not sure if it was more awkward for the ladies (since Kyle, Kim, and Brandi were all there), or for the young male waiters who had to stand around holding Champagne flutes and getting ogled by the women. (We'll call it a draw.)
The ladies all show up for a day of pampering, since Adrienne apparently runs a Sunset Tan franchise out of her second story. Adrienne not only owns her own tanning booth (which caused giggly Camille to shriek while using it, for no apparent reason), but she also owns various other weird beauty machines, several of which emit weird laser beams and look a lot like weapons that a Bond villain would have used.
And speaking of Bond villains, Brandi was certainly getting treated like one. Adrienne does her best to make peace between everyone but decides that Brandi needs to apologize to Kyle and Kim, in order for everyone to truly move on from the game night that has seemingly caused more horrific flashbacks than 'Nam. Brandi isn't thrilled about the idea, but she at least agrees to speak with Kyle. (Nothing wrong with baby steps.)
When Kyle and Brandi do talk, things are still heated, and though they agree that they might never be best friends, they at least seem to end on a peaceful note. However, Taylor then tries to get Brandi to talk to Kim, too, which makes Brandi promptly realize that there's something else she needs to be doing at that exact moment. It's like in cartoons, when someone leaves a place so quickly that a cloud of dust remains in the shape of where they used to be. ("Where's Brandi?" "Oh, she ran out of here so fast that she sprinted through the wall and left behind that hole in the shape of her body.")
Then again, based on Kim's behavior tonight, it was a good idea that Brandi not try to force conversation with her, since Kim had vowed to ignore her. Among Kim's more choice quotes was a line about "sleeping with the fishes," which she does in a weird, Mafia-esque accent. (In other words, Kim, if you are serious about getting back into acting, you might want to hire a dialect coach first.)
So the episode ends, and we're not sure that any progress has been made at all. Kim still hates Brandi more than most people hate airport security, and she even has a moment where she resents Kyle for talking to Brandi. Plus, now Lisa seems even more opposed to Brandi than ever before, while Camille continues to let more and more negative things trickle out as the talks to the camera about Kyle. Oy.
So this week was pretty hilarious, and next week promises to be even better, as we meet a guy who appears to be Kim's boyfriend. If anyone needs us, we'll be on our camel.

Disclosed Japan-U.S. Collusion for Nuclear Attack on DPRK under Fire
| Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- Recently Reuters reported about the information declassified at the national archives of George Washington University that the United States and Japan reached an agreement on allowing U.S.-made nuclear weapons into Japanese territory when U.S.-Japan Security Treaty was revised in 1960.
Minju Joson Wednesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:
This clearly testifies to the fact that there was a secret agreement on the use and transport of nuclear weapons between the U.S. and the government of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan besides the document made known to the public.
It is not the first time that the above-said secret agreement between Japan and the U.S. on the introduction of nuclear weapons to Japan was disclosed, the commentary says, and goes on:
Japan made desperate efforts to slander and do harm to others while pretending to be upright and honest as far as the nuclear issue is concerned. But this time it was brought to light that this country was busy colluding with the U.S. in its strategy for nuclear assault on the DPRK after discarding such international commitment as the "three non-nuclear principles" behind the scene. How shameful and cynical it is.
There is practically no other country that can match Japan in running the whole gamut of wrongdoings such as deceiving others to draw water to its mill and blaming others.
It is Japan that adamantly refuses to settle its crime-woven past though the world is so strongly demanding it do so and it is again Japan that is rushing headlong into nuclear weaponization under the pretext of "denuclearization".
The LDP of Japan should be held accountable for making the country suffer so bitter disgrace before the international community and rendering the regional situation so disturbing.

2010 MTV VMAs host Chelsea Handler: Did she make you Gaga?
Chelsea Handler, the host of E!'s late night talk show, "Chelsea Lately," and MTV Video Music Awards' first solo female host since 1994 definitely kept her dirty record intact.
Handler encouraged the stars to turn this mother out and she started with quite a bang. Several people slapped her on her fanny as she walked through a backstage hallway and then she came face to face with her nemesis and frequent object of her jokes, Lindsay Lohan. And while the confrontation seemed pretty friendly, Lohan got a little fanny slap in, too.
"Don't embarrass me out there," Lohan yelled as Handler ran off.

Nine Things You Can't Live Without at a Blog Conference
Packing is one of my LEAST favorite things to do when I have a trip planned.
It's not so much the packing as it is the, "What should I bring?" and the, "What do I not want to forget?" mind games.
Throw in trying to pack for a blog conference and BLECK…I start breaking out in a cold sweat.
So, for all of you out there that {like me} who want to make sure you are prepared when you head off to your next blog conference…here are my NINE MUST-HAVES:
None of my top nine include any wardrobe pieces, but I suggest you bring that too. No one wants to meet a naked blogger. Awkward.
Plus, I already covered WHAT TO WEAR TO A BLOGGING CONFERENCE and FASHION ADVICE FOR ATTENDING A CONFERENCE in previous articles.
Consider these things – nine things you don't want to arrive without. Trust me on this one, mmm-kay?
1. Mophie
In case you are wondering what in the world a Mophie is, let me explain. A Mophie is a iPhone case that gives your phone EXTRA battery life.
I find that when I attend a blog conference I am usually on my phone about 10 times more than I normally am. And that 10 times more makes my phone want to die before I've even had a chance to sit down and eat lunch.
*Que extremely disappointed blogger who can't get on social media to tweet she just met Jon Acuff.
2. A Notepad
You will be taking lots of notes. LOTS. Unless you plan to attend and retain the 8,000 wonderful things you learned all in your
little big brain.
I can't remember what I did an hour ago so I sure the heck won't remember what I learned in each session once I am home from the conference. I refer to my notes ALL the time when I am blogging.
They are nice to have handy and you'll be glad you wrote down some of your favorite take-aways!
3. Laptop
Now, some people argue to take the iPad over the laptop. Yada yada yada.
I would say this…if you have room for both then bring both. It does get rather bulky and heavy to try and lug your laptop to each session.
That being said, you WILL want to use your laptop when you are back in your hotel room. I was so inspired last year during the sessions that I spent a ton of time updating things on my blog and making changes.
Of course, you don't want to waste too much time on your laptop because there will be wonderful people to hang out with.
I usually just take my iPhone to the sessions and then use my laptop in the hotel room.
4. Roommate Gifts
I had no idea that it's common to bring a small little gift for your roommates.
*Insert extremely embarrassed roommate last year when I realized this upon arriving at Blissdom with no gifts. Ahem.
I am NOT saying you have to spend a ton of money. This little appreciation gift can be {and should be} very small! This year my roomies will be getting some Lip Smacker and Emi-Jays. Both inexpensive items.
You can even do this without spending ANYTHING. Make them snack bags for the hotel room or just write them a sweet note.
A little goes a long way.
5. Power Strip
Oh, the life of four women all fighting for the same electrical outlet. Not cool, not cool.
Trust me when I say, you can't all charge your iPhones, iPads, Laptops, etc at the same time. Think ahead and bring a power strip so you have enough space to keep your electronics juiced up.
<<<Oh, and when I ask Allie Worthington {co-founder of Blissdom} her favorite blogging conference must have? She agreed that the power strip was it!
6. Gum
Last time I checked, no one wants to talk to someone who has stinky breath.
Chances are you will be chatting with and hugging TONS of new friends. Make sure you don't scare them off with your coffee breath {and you will need coffee from all the late night dancing}.
Enough said.
7. Business Cards
It's so much easier to hand out business cards then to try and ask people to write down your URL.
Business cards are a great way to connect with others and allow them to get a snippet of who you are. I love the idea of putting a head shot on your business cards.
I would encourage you NOT to just go around passing out your business cards though. Make sure that the person is interested or asks for one. Otherwise, most likely they will take it and it will end up in the trash before they even hit the road home.
8. Comfy Shoes
Yea, you may be upset because you will have to take a few days off from the gym while you attend your conference. I assure you…whatever calories you missed out on at the gym you will make up for in walking at the conference.
Prepare yourself for a lot of walking. Meaning…don't wear heels just because you want to look cute. You will hate yourself the next morning. I know fashion is important at a conference, but remember that comfort is also important.
9. Make-up
This one sounds like a given, right? But a lot of us work from home or are stay-at-home moms and we rarely wake up and put on make-up.
I think it's important to look your best when you attend a conference, not because you need to impress people…but because it will boost your confidence.
And confidence is key when you are meeting new people.
All of these things are super important when you are heading off to a blog conference. But please remember the absolute #1 thing that you need to bring with you is….
It can be scary and overwhelming to think about all the new people you will meet and if they will like you. If you need a little confidence booster please check out my "Am I Ever Really Good Enough?" post.
You are already being bold and brave by buying the ticket to the conference. I promise you that it's not near as scary as you are imagining.
It will be life changing. Guaranteed.
This month I will be attending Blissdom in Dallas, Texas. I am a Community Leader this year and it's a huge honor. I have asked some of my fellow Community Leaders and experienced conference attendees to share their absolute "MUSTS" for a blog conference.
Here's what they had to say:
Ear plugs. For you… to help you get beauty rest! For your roomies… so they do't hear you come in late and end up hating you Win-win!
Jenny – Jenny on the Spot
You're going to be in tons of pictures. Make sure you bring clothes that make you feel comfortable, long lasting lipstick and bandaids, in case your feet aren't ready for all the dancing!
Molly – Stilettos & Diapers
Biz Cards, comfy cute shoes, snacks & water, chargers for phone, a comfortable bag and a smile!
Leigh – Funky Faith Girl
Lots of layers, no matter what time of year the conference rooms are notoriously cold. Also a mophie charger or any extra phone charger accessory.
Neely – A Complete Waste of Makeup
Pajamas that are worthy of being in the company of new people, and potentially photographed! I also always pack an extra outfit for lounging (Blissdom is a little different because you know that Girls Night In is super casual) in case you meet someone that says "hey, let's continue this party in my room". And because I'm OCD, I bring little smiley face stickers to help differentiate business cards from those people that I really want to connect with once home.
Amy Broussard – Amy Broussard & Co.
My most important item is an extra juice pack for my cellphone, iPad, electronics!
Tonia Sanders – The Chatty Momma
My must-haves are phone/iPad chargers, camera batteries, cardigans (I'm ALWAYS cold), snacks, and Dr. Pepper!
Ashley – Ashley Lately

No heels? Good advice. I was totally mentally planning wrong. I'm headed to Blissdom too. I really hope we can connect while we're there! Good advice. I'm trying to figure out as much as I can since this is my first conference. How many business cards should I bring?
Brilliant idea for a post! You rock (as always). Thanks for the tips. I'm bummed I won't make it to Blissdom this year, sniff sniff.
A Mophie! Who knew?! *heads out to buy one right now*
Such awesome suggestions here! I too had no idea you should get your roommie a little gift. Now I'll be prepared next time. Hope you have fun here in Dallas, and maybe I'll see you there next year!

Manhattan Tales: A Trip To The Wilderness
Published: Jan 12, 2012 1:33 pm
In the summer of 2009, six months before being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, my wife and I toured the Crater Lake area in Oregon by bicycle.
The group we were in was small -- only four bikers -- as a third couple had bailed at the last minute, and we were in (hopefully) the deepest part of the Great Recession.
On the last morning of the week-long trip, we began a 45-mile descent to our luncheon spot. We were biking on isolated two-lane back roads, hemmed in by green forests. Forestfires had been reported which restricted traffic to bikers and firefighters. The wildlife, though, apparently hadn't gotten the message.
Some 15 miles from our destination, as I was intensely concentrating on the downhill road and making sure I wasn't going too fast (my personal limit was 30 mph). The peace was broken when a huge, 350- to 400-pound bear crashed out on the right side of the forest and raced diagonally across the road and passed no more than 10 yards in front of me.
Dirt, straw, leaves, and a pungent zoo smell followed him. He sprinted into the forest on the other side of the road without a glance. Something had clearly startled him to cause him to plunge across the road at what seemed an unbelievably fast speed to me.
To say I was stunned is, of course, an understatement. I don't really comprehend how I didn't fall off the bike. I looked over my shoulder and saw that a beautifully decorated Native American firefighter truck was just about to pass me on the left. The driver and I exchanged a brief glance. Perhaps he was as startled to see me as I was to see the bear.
As one of my fellow bikers said later, if I had hit the bear (or he hit me) it certainly would not have been pretty. The headline certainly would not have read "Bear Felled by New York City Tourist." I met up with the rest of the group 30 minutes later at a roadblock, where I learned that yes, indeed, bears had been sighted in the area. It was a great story to regale to my friends when the trip was over!
I'm not superstitious by nature. Nevertheless, when ruminating six months later with a multiple myeloma diagnosis, it was tough not to take the near miss with the bear as a sign.
I've had several additional risky encounters over the last two years, but these I attribute to the insidious side effects of steroids, and not to wildlife. Life is indeed full of hidden dangers.
When I started to take the medicines for multiple myeloma two years ago, the nurse practitioners and my doctor discussed at length the possible physical side effects.
I remember being told that pianists, violinists, and other musicians might want to stop Velcade (bortezomib) at the first sign of peripheral neuropathy in their hands – tingling, burning or numbness -- but with any luck my cocktail of Revlimid (lenalidomide), Velcade, and dexamethasone (Decadron) would not pose any major hurdles.
I did the required reading and felt that I could certainly manage these risks. I'd be on the lookout for leg swelling, stomach problems, and all the other issues listed on the inserts in the packaging. After recovering from the bout of pneumonia that led to the diagnosis, I felt optimistic.
I plunged into the chemotherapy regimen and went back to being a legal counselor to the New York City Buildings Commissioner.
A lot of surprises awaited me, some as startling as the bear.

The Picton Pizzeria
3 Attachment(s)
After 3 weeks of weather finally got to finish the stand. Although when your 4-year-old is ''helping'' it may be more fun but it does take twice as long:D
Hoping to speed things up now but I have a question about the framing for the hearth.
Or does it matter and I should just go with the closest option
cheers, Ian
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
I used pine to frame mine. It was left over from tyhe patio project. The only pieces I have burned were a few 2x4 scraps and some 1x1/2 stakes and they were no problem at all.
My suggestion would be to go with what is cheaper, that being equal, what could you use later? Which would be better for finish out or other projects?
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
Although pine is cheaper, it's not as nice to burn as hardwood (weak flames, lots of popping), so if they are equal (price and useability) I'd get the hardwood.
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
I would say long term burning of softwoods (pine) is not a good idea, fro the same reasons listed by Maver as well as creosote/tar build up in the chimney.
That said, burning a few 2x6 or 2x8 during the curring or in the initial larger fires shouldn't be a problem; just don't make a habit of it.
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
Thks. I thought the pine might not be as clean to burn.
I think I'll go with hardwood and use it after for benches etc
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
After a couple of weeks of bad weather finally got started on the framing for the hearth. Measured three times and still had a wrong measurement for the plywood base. In dividing the overall area in to 2 equal rectangles I ended up with 2 rectangles that would only cover half the area.
Luckily I picked up the mistake before getting the hardware guy to cut it for me so I've left that for another day after I recheck the measurements.
Measuring three times cutting once is a good idea but it looks like I need to do a bit more.
Anyway, got it half done today, hopefully the weather holds and tomorrow I'll get the frame finished and start calling friends to help pour the concrete and vermiculite.

Okay, I'm not clear on how you're calculating this thing. If you're trying to derive the area of your rectangles from the area of the circle that's where trouble started.
If you want two equal rectangles to overlap the oven then measure the diameter (length) and width of the oven. Multiply the length by 1/2 of the width (actually the radius). The result will be a rectangle that overlaps the exterior and is half the width of the oven. (In blue on the diagram).
If you want two equal rectangles that fit inside the oven you need to decide how you want them to fit. From the side touching the oven walls measure the length you want then measure the distance from the point touching the wall to the centerline of the oven. (In red in the diagram). You can adjust this to whatever dimensions you want - you might want to use a piece of cardboard to better visualize how the thing will fit. (In the diagram I used more than one possibility - all are rectangles, however). Then have two of them cut.
Basically, if you want them to fit inside it requires eyeballing then measuring. The area of the circle really won't help you much - it's the area of the rectangle that you need*.

Hope this helps! If not, forward any complaints to: www. quitannoyingme. pht**
*You can get closer using the derivative but who wants to do calculus? If you're trying to maximize the area then you'd need to do that - I'm not so good with calculus... :(
**No, it's not a real website...
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
This is just as effective as form oil but will not ruin the wood for later use like form oil or diesel will.
Re: The Picton Pizzeria
Finally finished the framing for the hearth slab. Remind me next time to get someone to help hold the various bits of wood when putting it together (next time!!:eek:) Would have saved a lot of time. I've posted some pics in the hearth and stand photo gallery.
I've used builder's plastic on top of the plywood instead of oil or dish detergent. Is there any problem with that? I won't be pouring til next weekend at the earliest so I can always change it.
I've used 200x50 wood for the box. How essential is the cargo strap to keep the boxing in shape when I pour the concrete? Could I nail a 100x50 across the top instead? Apart from getting in the way are there other considerations?
Re: The Picton Pizzeria

A few observations from my build if I may.
I built my formwork by myself without too many problems, one side at a time. I think the main reason it didn't prove problematic is that I didn't have to cut the support legs to exactly the right height, as I attached them to the outside face of the timber planks, rather than underneath. As a result, it was very easy to adjust the height of the formwork on each side, prior to fixing the legs. After fixing the legs, each form assembly was quite stable when fixing them all together. See first pic below.
The second is that I screwed some small blocks to the ends of the timber forms on each side of the hearth slab. These enable the screws which secure the assembly to be fastened into cross-grained timber in all corners, rather than into the end-grain of the adjacent timber form. A much stronger joint results, and eliminates the need for strapping to keep everything together. The second pic shows this in detail for one of the corners.
Lastly, I threaded some wires through the timber forms from one side to the other, and tensioned them to prevent the formwork from bowing out during the concrete pour. These obviate the need to brace the centre of the forms with angled props, so you don't end up tripping over them during the pour! In the first pic, you may be able to make out two angled wires running from left to right, tensioned with short lengths of rebar, and one twisted one going from top to bottom – where a small metal plate prevented it from cutting in to the timber form. Worked a treat, and didn't get in the way of the pour like pieces of timber nailed across the top would – in fact they became part of the pour, and the slab!
Hope this helps.

Hugh Jackman Goes Shirtless in Spain (PHOTO)
Wolverine hottie Hugh Jackman was spotted on the beaches of Barcelona, Spain with his family on June 20, and let's just say we're glad the super-sculpted hunk decided to ditch his shirt for a dip in the ocean with his kids.
With magnificent muscles like those, we wouldn't be surprised if Hugh's shirt just spontaneously combusted to make way for those bulging biceps.
This wolverine is really living up to his name!

Hey everyone! Here is another weekly recap of some great articles that may interest you from the past week(s). We were going to do recaps of these articles from around the web every Friday, but then we figured Monday would be a better day because you would all be refreshed, energized, and not tired out by the events of the week
On Optimism and the Current Job Market:
Young Workers: 'Never Forget Your Dreams' (BBC): Everyone is struggling right now – no matter the industry or field. You just have to keep pushing through! Here are some really great stories from young workers all over the world and their current career trajectories and experiences.
On Fashion Affairs:
A Wake-Up Call for YSL's PR Team (Business of Fashion): I'm sure you all heard about the YSL/ Hedi Slimane and Cathryn Horyn debacle. What are your opinions on this (I'm assuming there are a bunch of fashion journalist-type interns checking out the website)? Do you think designers like Slimane need to learn how to take constructive criticism, well, more constructively? Or do you think his debut YSL collection warranted the praise that the YSL PR team supposedly thinks it deserves?
On Inspiration:
Rag & Bone's Wainwright and Neville Say Focus First (Business of Fashion): An old article, but it's always good to learn about the experiences, struggles, and stories of those who have made it in the industry.
Tory Burch Says Work Hard, Think Long Term and Be Patient (Business of Fashion): Another oldie, but goodie.
10 Phrases that are holding your career back (Forbes): Forbes always offers good tips and observations that you normally wouldn't think are important.
On Randomness:
The Histories of 11 Super Famous Logos from Apple to Levis (Fast Company): I'm sure many of you understand the importance of a logo from your company (hypothetical or not). Here is a nice overview of the histories of logos from great companies.
Write your own fashion world open letter (New York Magazine): I just thought this was hilarious. If you could say anything about the fashion world (complaints, praise, and all), what would you say?

AUGUSTA, GA--Jeanette Wright came to Augusta right after Katrina hit, and tonight she has a message for those trying to ride out Gustav: get out.
Jeanette Wright can walk into her own home today but when Katrina hit, she had nowhere else to go.
When the storm hit just three years ago she was separated from her sons for days.
She says when she went back to board up her house, at certain times she was up to her neck in water. She and her sisters had to flag down a car to stop and help with their mother who was in a wheelchair.
She says the time she spent without a home, she'd never wish that on anyone.
This year with Gustav, she says anyone still in the city needs to get out now while they still have a chance.
"If they want to survive, if they want to live, the must leave. Don't take no chances, don't wait on nobody...Leave," said Jeanette.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Not obvious to me. Depends on the telecommunications platform, I'd suppose.
If it's something used around the world like a 5ESS, 4ESS, or DMS-100, then
I really don't know. It's a specialized thing, and there can't be too many
4ESS programmers around (on the other hand, these things have been around
since the 80s, so maybe I'm wrong about that). I'd think those guys are
paid well.
I know which one sounds more fun (and it ain't telecommunications
programming)... ;-)

Social Networking
Okay, I finished social networking...I see now (did not realize it before) how with social networking on line the "degrees of separation" are shortened. If you need to find someone that knew someone lets say in a certain industry you could put the work out and probably have a contact by the end of the day. Personally, I do not like the idea of putting myself out there to anyone, I mean how do you know who to accept as friends or not?
I signed up to LinkedIn (this seems more insulated than facebook or myspace) I had a hard time finding 5 people from my years at UMD (I was not very social, I was always at the library :) ). And again, I felt uncomfortable contacting them...maybe I am just shy!

I wanted to save the fruits of my berry picking labor for next season and will share canning instructions as well. If you want to maintain the "raw" integrity of this jam DO NOT follow the canning instructions and simply store in the fridge for up to one week.
Being I am a canning novice, to ensure proper procedure I used the info on the National Center for Home Food Preservation website as a reference.
Check it out: http://nchfp.uga.edu/
or direct link for making jam and jelly here:
Stevie, YOU inspire me. Thanks for being you. This one is for you pollito azul!
Step 1: Supplies
2 C blackberries
1/4 C chia seeds*
1/4 C agave nectar*
1/4 C filtered water
2 TB lemon juice concentrate
Canning jars
Jar rings
New lids
Large pot, mixing spoon & bowl
Measuring cup/spoon, tongs and ladle, potato masher, veggie steamer (optional)
Cooling rack
Although this is a vegan recipe intended to use agave nectar, you can substitute any sweetener of your choice. In one of my trials, I used local raw honey as pictured.
Also, chia was used to thicken and stabilize the jam. I chose chia seeds over the typical pectin for its supreme nutritional value. According to http://www.salbasmart.com/salba-nutrition/
Gram for Gram chia seeds provides . . .
325% more fiber than oatmeal
800% more Omega-3 (ALA) than salmon (EPA/DHA)
30% more antioxidants than blueberries (based on ORAC values)
1500% more magnesium than broccoli
200% more potassium than bananas
I love this diy!
It's nice and healthy, and you can control the amount of sugar too! :)
Boiling for 15-20 minutes will destroy the majority of enzymes and valuable life in those jars. And that's what eating raw is all about: eating food in a state that is as fresh and alive as possible.
Also check out the debate about agave syrup: apparently high-fructose sweeteners are not healthy at all as fructose is one of the most problematic sweeteners when it comes separated from the fruit. Supposedly it is safe to consume along with the fibres and enzymes in the fruit, though. As you can tell I have to do more research in this but I thought you might want to as well.
So, great move with the honey substitute!
Again, I like this instructible a lot - would just love to see less raw foodists, like myself, come here attracted by the title and then disappointed by the last part.

Arizona Diamondbacks
NCAA Final Four pits D-back vs. D-back
You'll have to excuse Patrick Corbin and JJ Putz if they do not watch their teams in the NCAA Final Four this weekend.
The first basketball game in Atlanta tips off an hour before the Diamondbacks are to play in Milwaukee Saturday afternoon.
The issue, though, is not the first game from the Georgia Dome, it is the second game: Syracuse vs. Michigan.
Corbin is from Syracuse. Putz went to Michigan.
Their schools are scheduled to hit the court at 5:49 p.m. Arizona time.
"Well, that's pretty much right smack dab in the middle of our game so probably not too close," Putz answered when asked how much he will pay attention to the game.
However, he added, "I wouldn't put it past me to ask some of the fans in Milwaukee, �Give me some score updates' or something. It should be a good game."
Putz, at least, should be able to follow along -- if he so chooses from the bullpen, a lot easier than Corbin, who is scheduled to make his season debut getting the start.
"Probably won't see anything while I'm pitching but after I'll make sure I go in and check it out," he said. "It's a big game to make it into the championship so it's exciting."
It has been 10 years since Syracuse reached the Final Four, capturing the school's first NCAA Tournament Championship in 2003. "That was the one year I won my bracket because I had Syracuse winning it all," Corbin said.
It has been 20 years since Michigan reached the Final Four, going back-to-back years in 1992 and 1993; though those two appearances were later forfeited due to NCAA violations.
Either way, there is a lot on the line. So might there be something on the line between teammates?
"There's no wagers at all," Putz said. "I think we're both just hoping for a good game, hoping Michigan wins."
Wait, no wager? Not even a friendly one?
"I don't like to bet on Michigan," Putz explained. "Zig (Brad Ziegler) tried to bet me on the Kansas game. I don't enjoy the game, watching the game if I do that. The last couple of years Gibby (Kirk Gibson) and I bet the Michigan-Michigan State football game and they were horrible games to watch."
Corbin, what say you?
"I haven't said anything yet," he said. "Maybe (Putz is) worried about the game a little bit. I don't know. Usually he comes up with a bet or something like that. I'm sure he'll say something before (the game). (But) maybe he'll leave it alone just because I'm throwing that day."
Wager aside, Corbin seems more worried about when he will get to see the game.
"My parents are going to be (in Milwaukee)," he said. "I'm sure they want to watch it too so I don't know how they're going to see it either. I'll probably just have to see the highlights after the game."

rude, threatening, disruptive neighbors
My fiance and I just moved into a 1st floor condominium. Our upstairs neighbors seemed very nice and polite, they are a couple in their late 20's with a 5 year old boy. From the very beginning there has been all sorts of disruptive noises from upstairs, like a herd of elephants stampeeding or like they were jumping off of the furniture. We let it go a while, our unit had been empty for quite some time before we moved in, and we thought we'd give them a bit of time to get used to have downstairs neighbors. When we did start to mention the noise, it got worse. One night, after having most of a three hour long movie interrupted from stomping and running upstairs, I got up to see what time it was. It was 10:48pm and I was pissed. I went upstairs to ask them to calm down. When I rang the bell, the woman's mother answered the door and I said to please be quieter. She replied "well maybe you should have never bought the place" and slammed the door in my face. Obviously I went from being pissed to being enraged. I replied with a few expletives and turned to leave. She opens the door, practically hits me with the screen door and then lunges towards me shouting "Don't mess with me, or I'll f*&# you up!" I was fortunately able to get away from her without her hurting me. I went downstairs and called the police. I was told that since she wasn't knocking my door down they didn't consider it an emergency and would send someone "eventually". My fiance went back upstairs to talk to the woman neighbor whom we felt we were on friendly terms with. The womans mother answered the door and when he asked for the woman slammed the door in his face. She then opened the door, and after seeing that I am standing down the stairs, tries to get at me. My fiance is a big guy and he won't let her by him(thank god). She then proceeds to try to claw her way past my fiance and scratches him pretty badly. We manage to get away and go back to our condo and call the police again. They finally send someone out. The officers that arrive listen to our story and convince us not to have this woman arrested as it could make things worse. They go upstairs and talk to our neighbors. When they come back down they say that the neighbors just want to be left alone and want to leave us alone. Okay, sounds good.
The next night we get home about midnight and I am walking past my kitchen window, under their kitchen window, and I hear the woman calling me vile names over and over again. Less than 24 hours after they "want to be left alone" and she's harrassing me. The stomping and running around has gotten much, much worse and we aren't getting much sleep due to stress and noise. I am so frustrated. Because it's a condo I'm not sure what to do, it's not like I can complain to the manager and have them thrown out. They own their unit. We just moved in and don't want to move again, but also don't want to continue to live here under these conditions. Besides I only see problems with trying to sell the place, these people would have no problem being extra noisy when people were looking at the place. I think I would feel deceptive to try to sell the place to someone and not tell them about the problem.
The police suggested mediation, but I don't get the impression that these are the type of people that you can talk things through. Anyone have any other suggestions or thoughts.
I'm afraid of being here alone, this woman is obviously crazy enought to try to get through my fiance to attack me, what's going to stop her when I'm in the parking lot alone?

This is not legal Advice!
This is a commen problem when you live in a condo/flat, It seems to be a teritory thing.
I use to live in a flat/condo in the UK, we were the people upstairs. The people downstairs use to say the same thing, that we were making lots of noise stamping around, loud tv, and banging doors. The thing was we could not realy hear anything from them?
We at the time could not see what the problem was because we were quiet.
Anyway, we had complaits from the people downstairs and tryed a bit harder, the problem did not seem to go away the more noise they herd, the more depressed they got until, they stoped talking to us and eventually moved. We got new people move in and before long it was all happening again. This time though the new residents were a bit more accomadating and invited us in to listern to our own noise (in a polite way) it was then we realized that they could here our tv better than there own! we apoligised and lived in near silence before we endend up moving ourselves. The problem was is that condos/flats are not built with noise in mind only "profits". and that all noises seem to be tavelling down.
It would be nice to have a truce with your nice people upstairs but maybe it would be safer to keep a distance for a bit. You could try and win there trust and eat humble pie and try to forgive (I know that will be tough). If only for the reason to sell your property.
I dont think your situation will get much better but it will get easyer if you try to avoid the conflict. Sometimes better to try and explain that you are sorry for intruding as you did, but were at wits end and did not see at the time any other option. In SOME cases people will listern to reason and will forgive and forget, we are all human at the end of the day.
If not at least you know you have tryed. From the people upstairs point of veiw you have encroached on there space and gone off on a tangent, All human beings have a point of where their defence's kick in before their mind, in your case i think this is what has happend.
The Police were right on this occasion not to make too much of a fuss and blow things right out of the water. They are right it truly could make things a lot worse than they are.
People can do the strangest of things if they feel they are being backed in a corner.
Think very carfully and try your hardest to call a truce and in a week or so you all could be smile's again.
I hope things work out for you all and try to keep you chin up.
good luck.
