Question for Pizza Makers
- Tom P Nov 15, 2011 11:33 AM
A very good friend has become obsessed with making homemade pizza and is terrific at it. I want to get him a couple of things for Christmas relating to this, such as a really good pizza cutter, a pizza board, etc... any ideas and brands would be appreciated, thank you!
re: chowser
I have the super peel and I really like it. As far as pizza cutters, I bought this RSVP pizza cutter at a local store and I use it all the time.
Well, if they're obsessed, then I would venture to guess they already have a peel and cutter.
Do they have a scale? That might work, but like I said...depending on how obsessed, they may have a lot of these already.
Maybe a pizza stone for the grill? If they have one? Maybe get a large giftbasket of Italian cheeses? salumi?
This may be a little abstract, but you should see if any of the really famous pizza shops would be willing to sell you some starter dough. It would definitely be a unique gift.
I like this website a lot - well priced, quality goods. Check them out - I have been very happy with everything I ordered from them.
re: Bada Bing
Love Reinhart's books. Agree with the ingredients idea. Or, a gift certificate to King Arthur Flour's online Bakers Catalog. Love their website and they have great customer service.
Dexter Russell pizza cutters. And if you could find them a pizza peel by lillsun are what the pros use.
A few kilos of Caputo 00 flour--especially if this person does pizza in a wood-fired oven. A few other hard-ish to find specialty pizza ingredients would be fun, too. King Arthur has a nice Italian 00 style flour that would be an alternative to Caputo and a couple of dough additives that one might find worthwhile to experiment with. Add some uncommon or specialty topping ingredients and put it all together in a gift basket.
Some items I have and really use the heck out of--a nice olive oil can, a mini mandoline or truffle shaver to use for garlic, a IR thermometer, small and large capacity scales, simple, big round platters for serving.
Also wood-fired oven centric, a round turning peel:
+1 for the Reinhardt book. Everything he puts out is fantastic.
How about a cooking class?
re: splatgirl
00 is supposed to be optimal for only high temp ovens, like 700-800 degrees.
The #1 gift if he doesn't have one would be the largest and thickest pizza stone that fits in his oven.
If he wants to get into starters, Sourdo.com is a good source for dried starters of all sorts of unique origins.
I also agree that a good scale is a great idea.
I am not crazy about the American Pie book, but I know others differ, and I can't think of another good pizza dedicated book, although I think there are better recipes in other more general baking and cook books like the Tartine book and the Mozza book.
Cucina Simpatica cookbook was written by the couple who started Al Forno, world famous for its wood fired pizzas. Even if he cooks pizza indoors, their discussion of toppings--they were first, or at least one of the first in the US, to do pizzas that weren't thick layers of tomato sauce and cheese but rather thin crusts with herbs, olive oil and vegetables where you can still see the dough. I learned how to make wonderful pizzas by going to their restaurant and reading this book.
The size is nice, beveled edge to easily get under the pizza.

If you have multiple apps installed for any action, You may want to change default app android uses to perform the action. Suppose, You don't like android music player that comes pre installed, You want to use Google Play Music by default If any song is played or ear phones are connected etc. You can do that by changing default app.
You can change the default launch app for any action easily in android If you know the default app currently used. You can just go into Settings > Applications > All > select the current default app > Clear Defaults.
There is no way to clear defaults without knowing the app in android. But Default App Manager lets you do this easily. I had to use it couple of times before finding how to use it properly. There are no easy instructions.
How to use Default App Manager to change default apps
1. Download & Install Default App Manager Lite android app from Google Play Store. It is free.
2. Open the app. It has Category Wise, All Defaults tabs. You can look at current default apps under "All Defaults" to clear them.
3. You can set default apps for Audio, Audio Streaming, Browser, Video, Video Streaming etc. Suppose you want to change or set default Audio player on your android phone or tablet.
4. Tap on the Audio category > Set Default > It displays Complete action using popup > Tap checkbox Use by default for this action > Select the Music Player you want to use. It should be set as default. Make sure to tap checkbox Use by default.
If you have any default app for Audio, You can clear it by tapping on the Clear Default > Clear Default again on the app info screen.
You can easily manage all default apps using this app. It works on most android phones including Samsung Galaxy S3, S2, S4, Note 2, Galaxy Grand, Nexus 4, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z, Droid Razr Maxx, Micromax Canvas HD A116 etc.
It also works on android tablets including Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Note 8, HP Slate 7, fonePad etc.

Veteran Warriors has also set up a GoFundMe online account for people who want to contribute financial donations.

We have upwardly revised our construction industry forecast for Colombia in 2014 on the back of strong momentum in the awarding of road infrastructure projects. Our 2014 growth forecast has risen from 8.4% to 10.4%, following the release of official data confirming 9.8% real industry growth in 2013. This positive forecast is supported by a solid outlook for project finance, an improving business environment and a strong project pipeline, particularly in the transport sector.
Key T rends And D evelopments
With continued strong backing from the Colombian government for the sector, we maintain our outlook of a healthy annual average real construction growth of 7.3% between 2014 and 2018.
Strong economic growth - with real GDP growth of 4.6% forecast for 2014 - and expansion in coal, mining, oil and gas extraction, coupled with the multiple signed free trade agreements are creating significant demand for new capacity and better quality infrastructure. Improved access to ports and adequate highways will be essential if the country is to meet the expected increase in exports.
New rules regulating tax changes and force majeure will significantly reduce the risk of investing in Colombia's ambitious road infrastructure programme. These measures will facilitate access to financing and will also strengthen the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in the country.
These regulatory changes follow a new infrastructure law that was approved in November 2013 and empowers the ANI to alleviate the existing bottlenecks. The new law comprises 73 articles that aim at facilitating land acquisition and the expropriation of grounds considered to be needed in the public interest. Furthermore, according to the new law, as of January 2014, infrastructure permits will be prioritised over mining permits.

There are plenty of ways that you can attract free blog traffic if you know what to do. First and foremost, you should be hosting your own blog to earn free blog traffic, rather than having your blog hosted by WordPress, Blogger or another similar platform. There are stories floating around about bloggers that made money on hosted blogs, then had Google pull their blogs, preventing them from making money as they had been in the past. Can you imagine putting months of hard work into a blog and then having it taken away from you? Don't do it!
When you host your own blog on your own website, you have control over absolutely every aspect of it, preventing this from happening to you. Now, here are some tips to increasing the amount of free blog traffic that you bring in to your website:
1 – First and foremost, if you enjoy blogging then spend a lot of time doing it. Spend several hours a day working on attracting free blog traffic by writing in your blog. The best way to get noticed is to prove that you are passionate about your blogging endeavor.
2 – Develop a detailed list of long tail keywords and keyword phrases for use on your website and then work on targeting those keywords in your blog titles as well as in the intro and the closing for each of your blog entries as well.
3 – Make sure that you are blogging every day, or at least consistently. Blog several times a day, so that the search engines will see that you are posting new, fresh and interesting content at regular intervals. The more you post, the more search engines will want to index your blog for an increase in free blog traffic.
4 – Bookmark all of your blog articles in the top social networking and social media directories. Some services out there are capable of bookmarking blog entries on multiple directories, such as OnlyWire.com for example.
5 – Take some of your content and post it elsewhere on the web, such as on Ezinearticles.com for example. This is the largest article submission directly on the internet, and it will help you develop more backlinks for an increase in free blog traffic.
If you do this every single day, then you will slowly begin to build free blog traffic as well as sales, newsletter subscriptions and other actions that you are looking to create from your blog. Keep in mind that free blog traffic is vital, but if your blog is trying to sell something, raise awareness of something or garner more newsletter subscriptions, then attracting free blog traffic is really just the beginning. The more free blog traffic you attract, the more sales and sign ups you will end up attracting over time in order to create a wildly successful blog online.

With an ultimate protection detail package Fuller's practiced staff will thoroughly shampoo interiors; bathe and cleanse exteriors with a soft cloth; wax surfaces and restore paint vibrancy; polish and eliminate every offending mote; and sing carols to revive your car's holiday spirit. For all services, additional charges may apply for trucks, minivans, SUVs, and SUV-sized hamster wheels.
As garage door specialists, the crew at Beverly Garage Doors leverages more than 25 years of carpentry experience. They got their start as a garage door repair-and-installation enterprise in 1991, extending their expertise from the hardware of the door itself to the garage door opener. They handle just about any job related to most makes and models of garage doors and opener systems, from repairing wiring on old entry systems to removing pots of boiling oil from atop medieval gates.

Baltimore's 100 best restaurants [Pictures]
Famously conservative, Baltimore's dining scene continues to show signs of a great awakening. There are more, and better, options in style and substance. Our list of 100 best restaurants, in Baltimore and the surrounding counties, reflects the wide spectrum of choices available to diners, from mom and pop storefronts to waterfront extravaganzas. The best restaurants have little in common, other than the proven ability to consistently please their customers. It's been a particularly stellar year for new restaurants. From Hampden and Harbor East, the hits kept coming. The farm-to-table trend dominated, and casual places started getting fancier. A few old favorites had some major changes, too. More so than in other cities, the restaurant community in Baltimore is remarkably cohesive, too, with abundant examples of mentoring and collaboration. That's another hopeful sign of better things to come.

Sidelined by an April fire, this indispensable neighborhood spot returned in better shape than ever -- and with the same commitment to fresh ingredients and customer satisfaction. It remains one of the city's few bistros that knows what a bistro experience should be.

Salsa (Recipe: chicken, black bean, avocado and cheese quesadillas)
In the house where I grew up, the cuisine spanned two cultures: eastern European Jewish, and Weight Watchers®.
Neither of those cultures embraced salsa, at least not back in the 1960s, so it was decades before I first tasted the condiment that now might, or might not, be more popular than ketchup.
When tomatoes are in season, I make salsa fresca with fresh tomatoes, onions, jalapeño peppers, lime and salt. For most of the year, though, I also keep jars of several types of store bought (cooked) salsa in my pantry: smoky peach, tomatillo and habanero-lime salsas, from Trader Joe's; medium-hot mango salsa from Costco; mild tomato salsa made by Paul Newman (okay, I know he didn't make it, but I like seeing his face on my pantry shelf, and I can buy his salsa in my local market).

The big motorcycle manufacturers are constantly searching for innovative technologies to improve their models. The latest trend is represented by the electric power trains, so there is no wonder why Husqvarna decided to develop the E-Go Concept.
The concept was designed as a super efficient dirt bike and features a pretty simple style. The company didn't revealed many details about its new concept, but we do know that it's powered an electric motor. We also know that it weighs 176 pounds and is packed with a set of innovative suspensions. When we say innovative we mean that both suspension tubes are mounted on the right side of the wheel and feature 35mm inner fork tubes.
The E-go Concept's style is reflecting the Husqvarna brand identity and features a sporty combination of red and white colors.
For the moment, we don't know if Husqvarna is planning to launch an electric motorcycle, but judging by their new concept we certainly hope they do.

Recently, as part of my writing course, we were asked to submit work for the annual student anthology. I considered it for a while then read the details. The process worked like a competition, you paid a small reading fee and the winner won a cash prize - fair enough, except that if you don't win, your work could still be published with no fee or payment. In effect, you would be paying to have your work published. I don't truck with that. I know it's a student publication and they don't have a lot of cash to throw around but to me that just makes it worse - it's creating a precedent for students/writers to publish without payment.
I hate the idea of not being paid, I hate the idea of writing solely because you love it - I love my day job too but wouldn't be turning up everyday without the dollars, I hate the idea of being so eagar to get something published that you give it away.
Not that I expect to make scads and scads of cash. Let's be realistic here. If you work out the payment I've gotten for some of my stories based on an hourly, well people working in third world sweatshops would mock me.
It's the principle, not the amount. When I'm paid for my work, my work is given a value. Not that I'd never, ever give my work away and not that I've never ask myself for writers to submit work without payment but I do believe that if someone is making money from my writing, some of that should be passed back to me. I don't think that's so crazy.

Slow Period
I haven't updated in ages because, to be frank, I've not been writing. A few things here and there but nothing much at all. My life is all work and driving to work and running and watching dvds and sleeping. Once apon a time, I'd have freaked out about this but I've learnt something about myself: sometimes I don't want to write, I don't need to write and I have nothing to say. No point in forcing myself. I predict that in a few weeks, when my work contract ends, I'll have a period of full on productivity. In the meantime, I've filled myself up with other things.
Oh, but I do have a few project appearing in interesting places soon.

Dan's Kitchen: Drywall, Part 3
Renovation Diary
Name: Dan Bailey
Type of Project: Kitchen remodel
Location: East Boston, Boston, Massachusetts
Type of building: 2nd Floor Condo in a Greek-Revival Row House
The Renovation Diaries are a collaboration with our community in which we feature your step by step renovation progress and provide monetary support towards getting it done in style. See all of our Reno Diaries here.
Most of my free time this week was spent taping and sanding the newly-hung drywall – a process that offers all the excitement of a lengthy dental appointment. The walls ended up looking pretty good in the end, but it took me hours of meticulous joint compound application and sanding to get there.
I tackled the drywall in the pantry closet first. My contractor, Gregg, had already taped and applied a rough coat of joint compound to all of the seams and screw heads in the closet, but at least three coats of joint compound are generally required to achieve a smooth, seamless finish. The goal of the first two coats is to build up the surface with joint compound to disguise the underlying seam or screw head. Easy enough. But the finish coat is where things get tricky. The idea is to apply a thin coat of joint compound that tapers off into the surrounding wall. This, of course, is easier said than done, and even after some careful work with a drywall knife, I ended up with lots of little lines and ridges in the finish.
Removing these imperfections after the joint compound had dried involved hours of scraping and sanding. I tried a few different methods – scraping down the high points with a drywall knife, dry sanding with a sanding sponge – but the method that worked best was sanding with a damp sponge. I used a large, everyday sponge, with a scouring pad on one side, which made short work of lumps and scrapes in the dry joint compound. This method had the added benefit of significantly reducing the amount of dust that was thrown into the air during sanding.
While I spent nights this week honing my drywall taping and sanding technique, Gregg turned his attention to some carpentry work that needed to be done before we can install cabinets. He began by framing a pipe chase to surround and conceal the large waste pipe that runs down the rear wall of the kitchen. We decided to extend the pipe chase a few inches further than necessary so that it will be flush with the upper cabinets. I think this will look cleaner, and will help disguise the pipe chase, at least as much as it's possible to disguise a massive pipe running down the center of a room.
Estimated time for project: 24+ weeks
Time remaining: 2+ weeks
Check out the full series (so far) and be sure to join us next week for installment #26 of Dan's Kitchen Renovation.

Will the top part of the waste pipe be visible? i'm battling with a similar problem now, and not sure how to hide the top of a pipe that a custom built surround won't really work on.
jberickson -- we're planning to cut an upper cabinet to fit around that diagonal section of waste pipe near the ceiling. The pipe will be hidden within the cabinet, and although I'll lose some cabinet space, I think it's the best way to conceal the pipe in this instance. Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
I'm so excited for you! Can't wait for the next installment.
Oh oh oh, it's getting so exciting!! There has been so much work to get to this point and now it's all covered up! I will be so happy for you when it's all done, I'm sure it's going to be fabulous. I'll be sorry when it's finished because I have loved your clear, honest and interesting posts. Do you have a bathroom that needs redoing? - please!
Thanks neeny -- I do actually have a bathroom in dire need of renovation. But I think I'll need at least a year or so to recover (financially and otherwise) from the kitchen renovation before I tackle another remodel. It's also my only bathroom, so there are some logistical concerns to sort out there as well!
I'm loving this series and seeing your progress! I feel terrible though, for you! Have you seriously been eating out of your microwave for 22 weeks now????
When we got our kitchen, IKEA did not recommend their plastic legs for solid surface counters. They do also sell metal legs though. That's what we have hidden behind the toe kicks.
Dan, I think I'm almost as excited as you are! I can't wait to see the finished product!
I built a cabinet around mine, with interior shelves around the pipe. It makes for nooks and crannies of storage.
I guess old dogs can't learn new tricks. But the IKEA cabinet legs are good trick. It's much easier to level using the adjustable legs on an old unlevel floor than trying to level a large base like that.
So excited to see this progress! (I think all of us loyal followers of your reno diary are just as happy as you are to see that you're in the final stretch). I look forward to seeing the cabinets and finishing touches. You're almost there!

Pretty, but
"Shoe is loose fitting, both wide and size (about 1/2 size too big). Consequently my foot kept sliding down and out of the shoe."

Great comfy heels
"We bought this for my daughters wedding. The stones on the shoes match her dress perfectly. The color is great as well. They fit true to size and she said they are some of the comfiest pairs of heels she's had on her feet. If you need something that looks spectacular, these shoes are great."

A Place of Executionby Val Mcdermid
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Winter 1963: two children have disappeared off the streets of Manchester; the murderous careers of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady have begun. On a freezlng day in December, another child goes missing: thirteen-year-old Alison Carter vanishes from her town, an insular community that distrusts the outside world. For the young George Bennett, a newly promoted inspector, it is the beginning of his most difficult and harrowing case: a murder with no body, an investigation with more dead ends and closed faces than he'd have found in the anonymity of the inner city, and an outcome which reverberates through the years.
Decades later he finally tells his story to journalist Catherine Heathcote, but just when the book is poised for publication, Bennett unaccountably tries to pull the plug. He has new information which he refuses to divulge, new information that threatens the very foundations of his existence. Catherine is forced to re-investigate the past, with results that turn the world upside down.
A Greek tragedy in modern England, A Place of Execution is a taut psychological thriller that explores, exposes and explodes the border between reality and illusion in a multi-layered narrative that turns expectations on their head and reminds us that what we know is what we do not know.
A Place of Execution is winner of the 2000 Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a 2001 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel.

Today is Kate Noelle Holmes Cruise's 30th human birthday -- which is roughly 3.5 million in thetan years!
Happy Birthday, Katie!
wow!, no sign of herpes!
Happy Birthday Katie! Hope Tom does something nice for you. Jeez, I thought she was older.
She looks like Cindy Williams in that pic.
She is a VERY old thirty!
she looks 45!
O.K. I just looked up the word "thetan " on wikipedia. Good Lord, are these people crazy?My Goodness I have never read anything sooooooooooooo ridiculous in all my life! Wow, ya'll better take a look at it. I mean come on, are ya kidding me, how did this nice catholic girl get roped into believing any of the Scientology beliefs. Wow, what a way to go to hell. Don't acknowledge Gods presents. I am just baffled at this one.
Being married to Tom Cruise has aged her to look like his age group.
She looks old enough to have a kid in high school or college. Tom/Time has not been kind to poor KatIE.
thats bad hair!
Be afraid... be very VERY afraid... for Katie. She smiles, yet her eyes show nothing but fear. Someone save her before she is completely lost!
Boy Oh Boy I wonder if all this hate really makes you guys feel any better about yourselves after you have the audacity to type it?
Somehow I doubt it.
I wonder sometimes if the world is really full of shallow, small minded people who only seek to focus on the most negative aspects of a person.
Think about it for just a sec.
If the posts in this thread and at large on this site are any kind of litmus test to the public conscience, we are indeed very, very sick. :(
she was originally a feminine looking chick--probably of her own choice. now she looks like Tommy's older boyfriend.
I have to agree about her looking old. Wow. But if she's happy and she seems like they are very much in love and happy, then what's aging prematurly matter, right? Happy 30th....enjoy your day. Tom seems like a real romantic guy from what he's been saying.
Operation Freakout!
Happy Birthday Kate, hope Tom does something extra special for you!

Coursework includes: Workshops in poetry, creative nonfiction, and fiction; Evolution of Genre courses in poetry, creative nonfiction, and fiction; Foundations in Rhetorical Theory and Research; Practica in Publishing and Editing throughout all courses; Special Topics Electives such as Screenplay, Journalism, Environmental Writing, Transformative Writing, and more.
Upcoming Courses:
Fall 2014: Workshop in Creative Nonfiction, Explorations in the Evolution of Poetry, Special Topics: Changing the Face of Medicine
Spring 2015: Workshop in Poetry, Explorations in the Evolution of Fiction, Special Topics: Screenplay with Hollywood Writer/Director Josh Stolberg
The Narrative Medicine Certificate within the M.A. in Writing at The Thomas Wolfe Center for Narrative offers narrative competency training to physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals, chaplains, social workers, academics, and all those interested in the intersection between narrative and care. Lenoir-Rhyne University seeks to develop the narrative future of medicine, a field that proposes that effective care requires increased human engagement. Narrative training builds empathy, a skill required for effective care. The Narrative Medicine program aligns itself closely with the goals and practices of its parent program, the Program in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University School for Physicians and Surgeons.
The Narrative Medicine student takes four courses to develop facilitation skills that will enable them to carry Narrative Medicine into their workplaces and beyond. In listening to patient and client histories and stories, students cultivate a more profound attention to the meaning of illness and struggle, beyond the diagnosis of it, and build a lexicon for opening these stories. Those who complete the Narrative Medicine track to supplement licensure and professional degrees will be prepared to expand the narrative culture within healthcare through program development, research, writing, supervision, and training of colleagues and students.
We will begin in the Fall of 2014 with the following course which will be a hybrid of online and in-person work (to best facilitate professionals' demanding schedules). Classes will meet on the dates listed.
FA14 WRI 540 Introduction to Narrative Medicine: Narrative as a Form of Knowledge Meeting days: 8/29, 9/5, 9/26, 10/18, 11/7, 11/22, 12/6

A character has to get a driving license or get one renewed. However, they have a difficult time with a picky driving tester who will not accept any errors and makes the character nervous. As a result, the character fails the test and is despondent. With a pep talk and some tips from friends, the character gets the gumption to retake the test. Often, during the test, a danger occurs that forces the character to make emergency maneuvers to escape the danger. The character is successful and the Tester is impressed enough to give bonus points in the evaluation for successfully dealing with a dangerous situation which means the driving test was completed successfully.

Arrived to the convention center early, lots of people already here and eagerly awaiting the opening session. Opening session did not disappoint…. very awesome!!! Perfect way to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of ASSE (and 50th PDC).
Keynote speaker, Dan Pink, was very good…innnovative ideas and excellent speaker.
All officers and volunteers are doing a tremendous job…feels like a Hollywood awards show (not that I've been, but based on what I've seen).
Breakout sessions were good/average…hope others chose sessions that they liked.
Great opening day for the 100th PDC. Looking forward to exploring/enjoying the great city of Chicago.

Gyan. P. Johari
Effects of a nanometer-size, reactive polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) on a thermoset's polymerization kinetics and dielectric relaxation have been investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric spectroscopy. Four amines, hexylamine (HA), ethylene diamine (EDA), isophorone diamine (IPDA), and diethylene triamine (DETA) were used to crosslink epoxy resin DGEBA and a multi functionalized -glycidyl POSS. The polymers formed ranged from POSS-free to POSS-only network structure, while maintaining an equal ratio of reactive groups.
Calorimetric studies of stoichiometric DETA and IPDA samples performed by ramp-heating showed that the polymerization kinetics increased with low POSS content, but progressively decreased upon further addition, and the POSS-only mixtures reacted the slowest. The same pattern of changes in the rate of polymerization was observed by isothermal polymerization of the DETA mixtures. The results have been interpreted based on changes in viscosity and diffusion coefficients according to the Stokes-Einstein and Smoluchowski equations. Furthermore, isothermal polymerization of stoichiometric DETA and EDA samples showed that the extent of reaction increased with POSS, indicating that it might be easier to form a higher crosslinked thermoset with higher amounts of POSS.
Non-isothermal polymerization of POSS-IPDA mixtures was also investigated under off-stoichiometric conditions. Unlike the reaction mechanisms of non-stoichiometric DGEBA-IPDA mixtures, a significant difference in reactivity of primary and secondary amines in the POSS-IPDA reaction was not observed.
Dielectric relaxation studies were performed in real time during polymerization. The distribution of relaxation rates increased with an increase in POSS, and the duration of polymerization required to reach a specific relaxation time increased. Furthermore, the time at which the dielectric loss minimum and peak occurred increased with POSS, however, when only POSS was reacted with the amine, an a-relaxation peak was not observed. A frequency-dependent increase in permittivity during polymerization was observed with the POSS-only EDA, DETA, and HA samples, and a corresponding change in the loss was not detected. It was attributed to a structure-dependent increase in interfacial polarization.
Although not related to the polymerization study, work done on the residual entropy of glasses is included here. To help resolve the controversy of the residual entropy of glassy materials, specific heat data taken from the literature were analyzed. The changes in entropy of a glass on cooling and heating paths were determined, and it was found that the upper and lower limits of entropy differed by no more than 2 %. This showed that although the thermodynamic path through the glass transition is irreversible, this irreversibility has a negligibly small effect on determining the entropy.

Financial Reforms and Capital Flows: Insights from General Equilibrium
AbstractAs a result of debt enforcement problems, many high-productivity firms in emerging economies are unable to pledge enough future profits to their creditors and this constrains the financing they can raise. Many have argued that, by relaxing these credit constraints, reforms that strengthen enforcement institutions would increase capital flows to emerging economies. This argument is based on a partial equilibrium intuition though, which does not take into account the origin of any additional resources that flow to high-productivity firms after the reforms. We show that some of these resources do not come from abroad, but instead from domestic low-productivity firms that are driven out of business as a result of the reforms. Indeed, the resources released by these low-productivity firms could exceed those absorbed by high-productivity ones so that capital flows to emerging economies might actually decrease following successful reforms. This result provides a new perspective on some recent patterns of capital flows in industrial and emerging economies.
