Here on the backstretch of Churchill Downs, people are not looking at the horses or the barns or the twin spires. They are looking at the sky. They are looking at the radar. All outdoor sporting events are affected by the weather, of course, but the weather is everything here. You know that story about how Eskimos have many different words for snow?*
*People are still arguing over this one. Many say it's a myth. But some say it absolutely is true.
Fast -- Basically means the track is dry.
Wet fast -- Usually happens after it just started raining -- it's wet on top but dry underneath.
Sloppy -- Water is visible and puddling on top of the track.
Muddy -- After the water has sunk into the track and all that's left is mud.
Good -- Usually represents when the track is drying out but isn't completely dry yet.
Each of these conditions means a completely different kind of race, so everybody watches very closely. One thing I've learned this week is that many experts will have three different horses chosen for the Kentucky Derby (or any big race) and will wait until the track conditions have become clear before choosing their winner.
This year, most of the experts I've spoken with seem to agree if the conditions are fast then Orb is the best horse at the Derby. He's won his last four races and he's apparently looked incredible this week. But if the track is a bit off, a lot of people are switching to Revolutionary, who has won three races in a row and has Churchill Downs master Calvin Borel as jockey. Then, if the track is sloppy, it's wide open.
For your ease, I've tried to take the information I've been given all week and reduce it to a couple of sentences. The only thing I would add are the words overheard at a betting window here at Churchill Downs: "I don't know anything myself. I just know what people tell me."

Post Position 1: Scratched
Black Onyx was supposed to start here, but he was scratched on Friday. Because of this, the post position will not be filled.
* * *
Post Position 2: Oxbow
Morning line: 30-1
What's interesting: Oxbow hasn't shown much. He finished fifth in his last start at the Arkansas Derby, and he simply has not shown a lot of speed. But he is owned by Calumet Farm, who owned Triple Crown winners Whirlaway and Citation among many other greats. He is trained by D. Wayne Lukas, who has won four Kentucky Derbies. His jockey is 50-year-old Gary Stevens, who had retired and is racing in his first Derby in seven years. Stevens says he intends to go to the front and try to hold on as long as he can.
* * *
Post Position 3: Revolutionary
Morning line: 10-1
What's interesting: The name is kind of cool -- his sire was "War Pass" and his dam was "Runup the Colors," so Revolutionary was a pretty good choice. . The key for Revolutionary is jockey Calvin Borel, who was just elected into the Horse Racing Hall of Fame and who has won three of the last six Kentucky Derbies. His amazing ride on "Mine That Bird" remains one of the most legendary in the race's history. Revolutionary has been inconsistent, but with Borel onboard and rain in the forecast (it just started raining pretty hard here at 9:20 a.m. ET), a lot of people are betting Revolutionary.
* * *
Post Position 4: Golden Soul
Morning line: 50-1
What's interesting: Not a lot -- he's not even the most intriguing horse in this Derby with "Golden" in his name. . Has not won a race since last year. Rallied from last place at the Louisiana Derby, but "rallied" is a pretty strong word since he finished a well-beaten fourth. That rally convinced his owner to enter him in the Derby, but he needed other horses to drop out just to get into the field. . His accomplished jockey, Robby Albarado, has won more than 4,000 races, but no Kentucky Derby.rightfalsefalse

Post Position 5: Normandy Invasion
Morning line: 12-1
What's interesting: Came from way back to almost win the Wood Memorial . this is the sort of performance that gets trainers and owners and some bettors excited. This is especially true because the Wood Memorial was the first time that jockey Javier Castellano rode Normandy Invasion. Some believe that combination is golden. . A big finisher, if he can get a good ride and is in position coming down stretch, he could be a real threat to win. He is getting quite a bit of early betting action.
* * *
Post Position 6: Mylute
Morning line: 15-1smit
What's interesting: This is the horse that Rosie Napravnik is riding -- she is trying to become the first woman jockey to win the Kentucky Derby. She was the first woman jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks last year. .. Mylute ran well at the Louisiana Derby but was held off by Revolutionary down the stretch. Napravnik was not on Mylute that day, though -- the last time she rode Mylute he won, but that was last December.
* * *
Post Position 7: Giant Finish
Morning line: 50-1
What's interesting: Well, he was a late addition. As his trainer Tony Dutrow said, "Heck, why not?" . He ran a very slow third in the Spiral Stakes in Cincinnati, which does not bode well for his chances here. He is a New York bred horse -- the last horse to arrive at Churchill downs - and he will probably go off as a the longest shot at the Derby. But, hey, apparently he's relaxed. And he did get the lucky No. 7 post.
* * *
Post Position 8: Goldencents
Morning line: 5-1
What's interesting: Many, many things. It's been a long time since a single horse had so many great story lines going all at once. The jockey, Kevin Krigger, is trying to become the first black jockey to win the Derby in more than 100 years. Louisville coach Rick Pitino is a part owner. And his trainer is the delightful Doug O'Neill, who became a huge favorite last year when his horse I'll Have Another won the Derby and Preakness. . Goldencents has shown great speed, but nobody seems to know how that will translate to a new track and stiffer competition. And nobody knows how he will run on an off-track. Bettors, so far, have been skeptical.
* * *
Post Position 9: Overanalyze
Morning line: 15-1
What's interesting: You know, often a horse is named by trying to combine the names of the parents. Well, Overanalyze's father was Dixie Union and his mother was Unacloud. Try to come up with some combination of those two. I think that's how you get Overanalyze. . He won a slow Arkansas Derby, but people don't seem too excited about him. Trainer Todd Pletcher has five horses in the field, and Overanalyze sometimes might be getting overlooked.
* * *
Post Position 10: Palace Malice
Morning line: 20-1
What's interesting: Has not been overly impressive -- a good second at the Blue Grass got him to the Derby after his no-show seventh place run at the Louisiana Derby. Nobody seems too excited about him. But his Hall of Fame jockey, Mike Smith, just won his first Kentucky Oaks on Friday and he says Palace Malice has trained really well this week and might have a surprise for everyone.
Post Position 11: Lines of Battle
Morning line: 30-1
What's interesting: Horse came over from Ireland, where he mostly ran on turf and all-weather tracks . He is trained by Aidan O'Brien who, bless his soul, keeps trying to win the Kentucky Derby. O'Brien's horses have won in Ireland, England, France, Italy and in America at the Breeder's Cup, among others. But he has not been able to win at the Kentucky Derby despite many tries. "God loves a trier," his assistant trainer TJ Comerford says.
* * *
Post Position 12: Itsmyluckyday
Morning line: 15-1
What's interesting: Well, what's not interesting is the name. I do not like names that squish a bunchofwordstogether. Naturally, of course, this is my daughter's favorite name. . Could be a hot bet come Saturday, though, because Itsmyluckyday is one of only two horses in the field to win a sloppy track. The horse also has a lot more experience than most of the others, this will be his 11th start. He finished second at Florida Derby but was really outclassed by one of the Derby favorites, Orb.

Post Position 13: Falling Sky
Morning line: 50-1
What's interesting: Not a lot of interesting stuff here. Fell way off at the end in both the Arkansas and Tampa Derby so you wouldn't bet on him being able to go the distance here. . He is the grandson of Derby winner Sea Hero . Look for Falling Sky to go out fast and be in the lead early along with Gary Stevens' and Oxbow. Nobody really expects either horse to last, though.
* * *
Post Position 14: Verrazano
Morning line: 4-1
What's interesting: The main thing that's interesting is that there seems to be surprisingly little action on Verrazano, even though he's undefeated in his four races. He was awfully good in both the Tampa Derby and Wood Memorial. His jockey, John Velazquez, is one of the best in the business -- he has won more than 4,000 races including the 2011 Kentucky Derby -- and he CHOSE to ride Verrazano over the expert's favorite Orb. Does he know something?
* * *
Post Position 15: Charming Kitten
Morning line: 15-1
What's interesting: One of the five horses in the Derby trained by Pletcher -- the Todd Squad, the Daily Racing Form calls them . Good stock, his father is Kitten's Joy, who has become a top sire -- in fact, Charming Kitten's last win was at a race named for Kittens Joy at Gulfstream Park. . He has not run much on dirt, but people who know a lot more than I do like the fight he showed in finishing third at the Blue Grass Stakes.
* * *
Post Position 16: Orb
Morning line: 9-2
What's interesting: Here's your favorite, though the Derby has not been kind to favorites (only four have won in the last 33 years). Orb comes in with an impressive record, having handily won the Florida Derby and coming from behind to win the Fountain of Youth. But it is really Orb's workouts in Louisville that have people fired up. . Trained by the great Shug McGaughey, who was born in Lexington and has dreamed his whole life of winning a Kentucky Derby. This might be his best chance, though early bettors were surprisingly staying away, perhaps because of the rain forecast.
* * *
Position 17: Will Take Charge
Morning line: 20-1
What's interesting: Was a big surprise winner at the Rebel Stakes, chasing down Oxbow down the stretch. . Trained by D. Wayne Lukas and the grandson of Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled. Will Take Charge is not interesting the bettors early because of questions about him making the distance and this race being a big step up in class. But he paid 28-1 at the Rebel, so he's been underrated before.
* * *
Position 18: Frac Daddy
Morning line: 50-1
What's interesting: He did close well at the Arkansas Derby, finishing second to Overanalyze, but one of the early mysteries of the betting is why people are betting him up. As of Saturday morning, his odds were all the way down to 14-1. One theory is that he does run well at Churchill Downs -- he won by 10 lengths in November as a 2-year-old. Unfortunately, that's his only victory. Another theory is the name. But, generally speaking, the experts seem baffled why he seems to be the early choice of the fans.
* * *
Position 19: Java's War
Morning line: 15-1
What's interesting: Won the Blue Grass Stakes by a neck despite getting off to such a sluggish start that he was dead last the quarter-pole. He beat Derby contenders Palace Malice and Charming Kitten with a very strong close. . Until last year, no horse had won from the 19th post position, but "I'll Have Another" broke that streak. . The key seems to be the start because Java's War does figure to close fast.
* * *
Position 20: Vyjack
Morning line: 15-1
What's interesting: He has won four of his five races and ran pretty well in a third-place finish at the Wood Memorial. . The experts seem to think that with this horse, a lot depends on the weather. On a fast track, not a lot of people like Vyjack because of his outside post position and unfamiliarity with Churchill Downs (he's only raced at Aqueduct). But if it gets muddy, Vyjack is suddenly a major threat. The outside post position could play into his favor then, and he's one of only two horses to win on a sloppy track.

Spacecraft Instruments: 1) Infrared Camera 1
2) Infrared Camera 2
3) Longwave IR camera
4) Ultraviolet imager
5) Lightning and airglow camera
6) Ultra-stable oscillator (Radio Science)
Spacecraft Power: Solar panels and batteries
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Akatsuki website, http://www.stp.isas.jaxa.jp/venus/top_english.html
The Venus Climate Orbiter mission (PLANET-C), will study the atmospheric circulation of Venus. Meteorological information will be obtained by globally mapping clouds and minor constituents successively with four cameras at ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, detecting lightning with a high-speed imager, and observing the vertical structure of the atmosphere with radio science techniques.
The equatorial elongated orbit with westward revolution matches the Venusian atmosphere, which rotates westward. The systematic, continuous imaging observations will provide us with an unprecedented large dataset of the Venusian atmospheric dynamics. Additional targets of the mission are the exploration of the ground surface and the observation of zodiacal light. The mission will complement the European Space Agency's (ESA) Venus Express, already in orbit at Venus.

I have all of my mp3s on a server, and I have tried to have FARR search for my mp3s, but the fact that it's on a not-cutting-edge wireless network means that the search is a bit slow as it works its way through the files. (There's a lot of them).
What I'd like to do is sync folders (I realize there are tons of apps that do this),
BUT only sync the files as SHORTCUTS. That way, when I'm looking for a song (or any file) that's elsewhere, I can find it in shortcut form locally, and deal with the network after the fact.
I know there might be apps that do this already, but a quick look around didn't turn any up.

A teenager was found hanging in his cell at the St. Mary's jail early Saturday morning, investigators report, and he remained in a hospital at midday Monday.
The 19-year-old man, whose name was not released, had been in pretrial custody since May at the detention center, according to investigators, and no one else was in the cell with him when correctional officers making their rounds at 1:28 a.m. Saturday discovered him.
"The inmate was unresponsive," an investigator said. The correctional officers began resuscitation efforts and were soon joined by an ambulance crew.
"They found him, and may have saved his life," the investigator said. "We still don't know."
The matter is being investigated by St. Mary's detectives and the sheriff's office internal affairs bureau. No information was released on the teenager's medical condition.

I was talking to app about features to add. One idea that would be really easy to add is to have an option where the program can speak what's shown, so if kid types B and it shows "B is for Bees" with a photo of a bee, then it would speak the words "B is for Bees".
I dont think the text-to-speech is good enough, so i'd like to use recorded mp3 files of a real person speaking.
The files should be named word_1.mp3 so for example "bee_1.mp3", etc for all the words found in the default VpMedia directory. the # is so that it can support different alternative voices.
I will add the feature if someone volunteers to record the 50-60 mp3 spoken word files that would be needed to accompany the initial image set. Any volunteers?

Roll-around beater, third hand
Since I was in need of a third hand, movable to outside beating bending vise. I have been thinking of one of the truck rim mounted vises. Having an old rim, section of schedule 80 pipe, some salvage plate and a cleaned up 6" swivel type vise.
I put this together to use on my son's smoker pit project. Think I will blast it when we do the pit. I also want to see if I rounded the corners enough! Along with if I need to put concrete in the pipe and rim bottom and top for more weight

Nice job. I like the portable stuff. Just got a new Sears catalog and was looking at the vice's offered. I think I will order two of the ones that cost $1999.00 each. Couldn't believe the prices on those big ones. Never in my life would I have guessed they could cost that much. If I had one or two of the Sears ones, I would have to secure them to my work bench, weld them to the bench and the bench welded to the shop so they wouldn't wander off. Anyway keep up the good work.

Ref: NOVCO 6-99
To: Billy Evans Horse, Chairman
Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma
P.O. Box 369
Carnegie, Oklahoma 73015
1. The Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) hereby gives notice that the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma (hereafter referred to as "Respondent"), located in Carnegie, Oklahoma is in violation of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) and NIGC regulations.[1]
2. The circumstances of the violation are:
Respondent is a federally recognized Indian Tribe with tribal headquarters in Carnegie, Oklahoma. Respondent engages in gaming operations on tribal lands located in Carnegie, Oklahoma. Respondent does not have a compact with the State of Oklahoma which would allow Respondent to operate Class III gambling devices. During a visit to the Tribe's gaming operations on or about October 20, 1998, representatives of the National Indian Gaming Commission observed Class III machines being offered for play. Following issuance of a warning letter play of those machines ceased.
The Tribe has chosen to re-initate operation of Class III machine games, and as of this date the following Class III machine games are being offered for play:
Reels & Deals
3. Respondent is in violation of NIGC regulations as follows:
Under Section 502.4 of the NIGC's regulations, Class III gaming means all forms of gaming that are not Class I gaming or Class II gaming specifically including (but not limited to) any slot machines as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 1171(a)(1) and electronic or electromechanical facsimiles of any game of chance. Under NIGC regulations an electronic or electromechanical facsimile means any gambling device as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 1171(a)(2) or (3). See Section 502.8.
The machines identified above are gambling devices as defined under 15 U.S.C. Section 1171 (a) and therefore fall within the definition of Class III gaming. Because Respondent does not have a compact with the State of Oklahoma which authorizes the playing of Class III gambling devices at Respondent's gaming facility, Respondent is operating such games in the absence of a tribal-state compact in violation of 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d) and 25 C.F.R. § 573.6(a)11.
4. To correct the violations, Respondent shall comply with the following closure order.
Closure Order
Under the authority of 25 U.S.C. §2701 et seq. and 25 C.F.R. §573.6(a) and (b), the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) hereby gives notice that the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma is ordered to cease and desist the operation of all the above-listed gaming machines in its gaming facilities. This order shall be effective within twenty- four hours of receipt of this Notice of Violation and Closure Order.
5. The Chairman of the Commission may rescind the Closure Order for good cause shown.
6. Expedited Review. Under 25 C.F.R. §573.6(c), within seven (7) days after service of this Order, Respondent may request, orally or in writing, informal expedited review by the Chairman. The Chairman must complete such review within two (2) days after receipt of a timely request. Within two (2) days after the expedited review provided by 25 C.F.R. §573.6(c), the Chairman must decide whether to continue the Order and must provide Respondent with an explanation of the basis for the decision.
7. Appeal. Whether or not a Respondent seeks the informal expedited review described in paragraph 6 above, within 30 (thirty) days after service of this Notice of Violation and Order of Temporary Closure, Respondent may appeal to the full Commission under 25 C.F.R. Part 577 by submitting a notice of appeal and, if desired, request for hearing to the National Indian Gaming Commission, 1441 L Street, NW, Ninth Floor, Washington, DC 20005. Respondent has a right to assistance of counsel in such an appeal. A notice of appeal must reference this Notice of Violation and Order.
Within ten (10) days after filing a notice of appeal, Respondent must file with the Commission a supplemental statement that states with particularity the relief desired and the grounds therefore and that includes, when available, supporting evidence in the form of affidavits. If Respondent wishes to present oral testimony or witnesses at the hearing, Respondent must include a request to do so with the supplemental statement. The request to present oral testimony or witnesses must specify the names of proposed witnesses and the general nature of their expected testimony, whether a closed hearing is requested and why. Respondent may waive its right to an oral hearing and instead elect to have the matter determined by the Commission solely on the basis of written submissions.
8. Fine--Submission of Information. The violations cited above may additionally result in the assessment of civil fines against Respondent in an amount not to exceed $25,000 per violation per day. Under 25 C.F.R. § 575.5(a), Respondent may submit written information about the violation to the Chairman within 15 days after service of this notice of violation (or such longer period as the Chairman of the Commission may grant for good cause). If Respondent chooses to appeal, pursuant to the terms of the Procedural Stipulation of May 20, 1999, to which both the Chairman and Respondent are parties, Respondent may submit such written information as provided in paragraph 12b. of said Procedural Stipulation. The Chairman shall consider any information submitted in determining the facts surrounding the violation and the amount of the civil fine, if any.

If the White Sox have designs on making Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona their successor to Ozzie Guillen, one important door has been opened.Francona has had enough of his eroding Boston experience, a major-league source said, and will ask the club not to exercise the option on his contract.
He has had his fill of the whole thing, the source told the Sun-Times.
Good riddance. The man was a complete joke. Thank god he is gone. He didn't get the nickname "Francoma" for a reason. He had no clue what was going on at times. I hope Bobby Valentire or Dave Martinez is hired as thier new manager.
I think embarrasment is the main reason he is stepping down
Boston is to talented to be out of the playoffs.

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons
prepared Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup
chopped onion
1/2 cup
packed brown sugar, divided
2 cups
orange juice
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
You really can't go wrong with this recipe. It's super easy to put together, makes the whole house smell great, and tastes even better! I've made it a number of times since finding the recipe a few months ago. In fact... it's in the oven as we speak!
I gave this recipe a try and it turned out flavorless and I will never try this one again!!

This is a great recipe!
I have also discovered a great way to serve any leftovers. Cut up the chicken and serve it cold with lettuce and almonds for a tremendous "grilled" chicken salad. As an extra bonus, leftover sauce can be used as a dressing! If yours is as thick as mine was, you might want to add some water to thin it out a bit, though.
Absolutely delicious! I wish I could be one of theose people who could say that I changed it to suit my taste but I made it exactly how it was supposed to be made and it was great! Nothing needs changed or tweeked. Perfect the way it is!
My husband and I really liked this recipe but it says to cover the chicken with orange juice and unless you beat the chicken, that is alot of juice. I added about a 1 1/2 cups and found that to be too much? Maybe I did something wrong?
I was really skeptical about this recipe. I was afraid of the Dijon, thinking it would over power, but it was perfect and blended nicely with the brown sugar and o.j. ( I am no fan of dijon but this worked great) I was also afraid it would be too orangy or too sweet and that the chicken would be bland. So I used chicken cutlet that I added salt & pepper to and then dredged in flour, shaking off any excess. This made my sauce really nice as it cooked and kept the thin chicken moist and it looked great. This allowed me to cut down on the cooking time by 20 minutes!The thin chicken needed less o.j. to cover. Before putting my chicken in the baking dish, I lightly browned the onions in a tablespoon or two of butter. ( I used sweet onion) I used a basting brush to thinly paint a bit of dijon on the bottom of the dish and then added half of the onions then I added the chicken. I also used a sprinkle of crushed red pepper after covering the chicken with the o.j. When it came time to make my sauce I did not use more o.j, but instead used a 1/2 cup of chicken broth. I also reserved a tablespoon of the brown sugar that goes on the chicken at the end. I used that to sweeten my sauce to my taste and only used barely 1/2 of that TBS. I added another sprinkle of the crushed red pepper here, but that may or may not be too strong for some although everyone in my house liked it alot- even the fussy ones.Well almost everyone...my ole man said it was a bit on the sweet side and would be good
This chicken is great! My husband and I both loved it. The only thing I will change when I make it again, is to add some additional mustard to the sauce at the end. This will become one of my "regular" recipes.
Loved this easy recipe! The blended flavors was wonderful. I cut this recipe in half for two of us and made it in a dish that could go from oven to stovetop. Then mixed the flour with some extra orange juice and finished it on top of the stove without taking the chicken out. One less pan to wash! Great recipe.

If you aren't getting enough fiber each day, you may need to boost your intake. Good choices include:
Refined or processed foods — such as canned fruits and vegetables, pulp-free juices, white breads and pastas, and non-whole-grain cereals — are lower in fiber. The grain-refining process removes the outer coat (bran) from the grain, which lowers its fiber content. Similarly, removing the skin from fruits and vegetables decreases their fiber content.
Whole foods rather than fiber supplements are generally better. Fiber supplements — such as Metamucil, Citrucel and FiberCon — don't provide the variety of fibers, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients that foods do.
However, some people may still need a fiber supplement if dietary changes aren't sufficient or if they have certain medical conditions, such as constipation, diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome. Always check with your doctor if you feel you need to take fiber supplements.
Fiber is also added to some foods. However, it's not yet clear if added fiber provides the same health benefits as naturally occurring sources.
Need ideas for adding more fiber to your meals and snacks? Try these suggestions:
High-fiber foods are good for your health. But adding too much fiber too quickly can promote intestinal gas, abdominal bloating and cramping. Increase fiber in your diet gradually over a period of a few weeks. This allows the natural bacteria in your digestive system to adjust to the change.
Also, drink plenty of water. Fiber works best when it absorbs water, making your stool soft and bulky.

I am new to this forum, Well all forums for that matter. I have read some good things here and I am glad to be a part of the discussions.
I ran into an issue on a job the other day that has me scratching my head. I have worked My trailblazer hard since day one but keep very good care of it and have never had a single issue. Its and upgrade for me a 2012 302 (not EFI). I had what I can only describe as a duty cycle issue the other day while welding With my 12 VS feeder. I was welding 1/2" galvanized steel plates to 3/8 Mill steel plates. Lap welds in spray arc with .045 E70s-6 and 90/10 mix. The volts where at 29 on the TB (only 26.5 at the feeder but there was a pretty good voltage drop as is typical with the VS Feeder) Wire speed at 390 IPM. The Passes where 20 inches long. By the end of each pass the weld would slow down significatly to the point where it would even leave spray arc transfer. Then I had wait a few mins for the next pass or it would just weld poorly. I was under the impression the TB was 100% duty cycle??? and if it ever did cycle over that it would simply shut down! Has anybody ever heard of such an issue ? My miller rep had no answers for me.
Thanks in advance!

The process as you described it was 300 amp + weld. Your TB302 is good for 280 amps at 100% duty cycle. Still you should have a pretty good amount of duty cycle for each weld, just need to wait for the next one.

I have a tb 302... I use suitcase on it also. You have 25 volts cv at 100 percent duty cycle. Normally I run. 045 212 wire about 22 volts a little less than 100 ipm. If I use the 072 wire I will run it about 24-25 volts

Hi there.....
Not only am I new to MySQL but PHP as well. I have done my best to look around the various forums for a fix but cannot find anything.
I have a 2003 server and h'ave installed MySQL and PHP. From the server I can 'telnet localhost 3306 and can use MySQL to create databases / tables etc etc.
From my client I can 'telnet servername 3306'
But when I try and connect to a database from within php using
{ print("Connect Worked Fine"); } else{ print(mysql_error()); }
I get message
"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
The script is run on my server from IE.
Am I missing some software or are there some security options not set within php/MySQL(server or databases ).
Many thanks in advance

How To Make Gluten Free Flour More Elastic?
Posted 13 December 2012 - 05:19 AM
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Posted 13 December 2012 - 06:28 AM
Hi and welcome! I'm thinking, if you like the taste of your crust and how it handles after it is baked you might just use this method. Roll pie dough out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. (slightly dampen the counter first so it won't slide around--if you have granite that isn't necessary)
Hello all. This is my first post here. I'm no gluten-free, but my wife is. One thing I've been trying to find year after year is something maybe that you can add to gluten-free flour to make it more elastic like wheat flour. Specifically for pie crusts. I love to bake pies, but it's really hard using gluten-free flour because the finished crust falls apart when I'm trying to bring it to the pie plate.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
After it is rolled out the way you want it, slowly remove the top piece of plastic, and lift the crust by the bottom piece. Fit into the pie plate with the plastic still adhered, then very carefully peel off the plastic. Works like a charm

Use the lemon juice verses the vinegar. You can also do this in the food processor, because there is no Gluten to make it tough. The King Arthur flour is a combination of flours, so it is less gritey.

I never liked bread anyway.....
Posted 15 December 2012 - 01:20 AM
Because I cannot eat as much pie as I can bake, after performing a lot of experiments that merely resulted in having to buy larger clothes but creating the same pie crust the texture of bamboo floor tile, (tasty floor tile ) I gave up making bottom crusts, and just put a top crust on, that I rolled out between 2 sheets of waxed paper, after chilling the dough for awhile. Peel off the top paper, lift the bottom and carefully flip it over the filling in the pan, then peel off the other paper. If I have to have a bottom crust, I will do the same thing, and skip the top crust, and just make a custard pie or a crumble top. With the bottom crusts, you can take an oil recipe type crust and just finger poke it around in the pan after getting the mass of crust into the pan with the waxed paper transfer.
I still think I can make a pie crust from scratch, without gums and with the higher protein type flours, but I have not played with this for awhile, because I had to switch out of several brands of gluten free flours because I can't do oat cross contamination and I can't tolerate some other brands, period. There are several types of flours that are "stickier" that rice flours, one is buckwheat and the other is amaranth, both, when soaked for a while in liquids, get sticky, if you want to experiment by adding either or both to a recipe. There is also chia seed soaked in cool water to make chia gel.

The ratio I use is about 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of psyllium husk to 1 cup of flour (generally rice). Then, after it's all mixed I let it sit for about 5-10 mins, for the psyllium husk to 'gel', or whatever it does. I don't know that it would make it stretchy, but I think it'll hold together a lot better. If you try it, let us know how it works.

I have a product that I bought a while ago but did not try so I am not sure exactly how well it works but it is basically a gluten free gluten additive for gluten-free Flours.
It is from Orgran and the product is actualyl caleld Gluten Free Gluten now that I am looking at the package. Supposedly it gives gluten-free flours "workability and versatility"
From the packaging - Thsi product will provide structure and will mimic the physical protein found in wheat in a way that will allow you to make a dough or batter with similarities and consistencies to wheat based ingredients.
Hope that helps.

No, I like the way it tastes, but for pie crust it most definitely needs to be more elastic in order to manipulate it the way I need to.
Have you tried Whole Foods brand of frozen gluten-free pie crust? They are wonderful.

After many years of suffering from Late Stage Lyme Disease I became Gluten intolerant and I'm extremely sensitive.
Posted 13 March 2013 - 08:57 AM
I've made more gluten-free pie crusts than I can count. Seriously. Been playing with flours and ideas quite a bit, and what has held true for pie crust is that no gums or binders will yield the best crusts. Also, a wheat crust is formulated with a considerable amount of fat, because that is what will defeat the gluten from forming long elastic structures. Otherwise you'd have bread dough. Since gluten-free flours do not hold together much on their own, they are on the opposite end of the scale in this regard. That is, rather than having to alter what would ordinarily make bread dough into pie crust dough, gluten-free dough is already a lot closer to being ideal for pie crust. Therefore, it doesn't require nearly as much fat.
I'd say, forget trying to force gluten-free pie dough to behave like wheat dough. But rather, take advantage of the characteristics it tends toward on it's own. Many gluten-free flours produce very good pie crusts, but the methods of working with the dough can be notably different from that of wheat dough.
What I've found for shaping the dough, is that it is quite easy to simply plop the dough in the middle of the pan, and press it out with your fingers. No rolling, plastic wrap or paper required. Only takes a few minutes once you've gotten the hang of it, and it won't stick to your fingers if the dough has been formulated well. The top crust is an altogether different matter however. I've found it easy to make a lattice crust or a crumble topping, but actually haven't tried to roll out a disc of dough to carefully position over a filled pie, as I don't have a roller (yet). Not sure how easily it would separate from the paper or plastic wrap either, which is why I haven't been in any hurry to buy a roller.
I think if you can describe what type of crust you're making, we'd have more applicable ideas for you.
