If cooking is the laid back friend who goes with the flow, then baking is the perfectly manicured friend with a color-coordinated closet with matching accessories and shoes. There is leniency when it comes to measuring ingredients as even the slightest over or under-measurement can change the recipe. It may seem intimidating, but with the proper tools and a little patience, you can measure your ingredients with finesse and create a baking masterpiece. So without further ado, let's learn how to correctly measure baking ingredients.
You Can't Measure without Measuring Cups and Spoons
If you've ever watched a cooking show, you've probably thought to yourself, "Those guys don't measure a thing and their food comes out perfectly!" Oh TV, it's so deceiving! The fact is that those professional bakers on TV usually have their ingredients measured out beforehand and, well, baking and cooking are what they do for a living. For the home baker, it is essential to get in the habit of measuring ingredients the right way with measuring cups, spoons and scales to be sure your measurements are as accurate as possible. Who says you can't bake with big boys?
Dry Measuring Cups
Although residential style measuring cups are most common, make sure you opt for a dry measuring cup over a liquid measuring cup when working with dry ingredients. The main difference between a dry measuring cup and a liquid measuring cup is that the dry measure has a flat rim and no pouring spout. Dry ingredients are meant to be measured by filling the cup to the brim and evening out the top with a flat utensil. The flat, thin rim makes for an accurate measurement, whereas a lip or spout creates an uneven measurement at the top of the cup. Dry graduated measuring cups are perfect for recipes that may call for larger measurements of dry baking ingredients such as pints or quarts.
Liquid Measuring Cups
Liquid graduated measuring cups are often glass or plastic so that you can see the liquid through the sides of the cup. However, the key feature of a liquid measure is the rim which has a lip or a pouring spout. The graduated marking on the sides help you determine the correct measurement, and the lip or spout makes it easy to pour the liquid into a mixing bowl.
Measuring Spoons
Measuring spoons are for measuring small amounts of ingredients such a teaspoon, tablespoon, and fractions thereof. They typically come in sets of three to five spoons. Measuring spoons are used for dry or wet ingredients, so they work just fine as long as the dry ingredients are properly leveled off and the wet ingredients are poured just before they would spill over, creating a round "bubble" at the top of the spoon.
How to Measure Dry Ingredients
Dry ingredients consist of the flours, sugars, and leaveners of the baking world. These ingredients are typically granulated or powdered. As indicated before, dry ingredients do require a different method of measuring than liquid ingredients. It's good to have measuring cups and spoons, as well as a scale depending on how much you're making.
When measuring flour, you'll want to fluff it first with a spoon, which simply means mix it up a bit.. If the recipe calls specifically for sifted flour, strain it through a sifter or sieve. Both of these methods incorporate air into the flour for a more accurate measurement; sifting the flour helps ensure that only the finest particles are used in the recipe.
After fluffing or sifting, use a spoon to scoop the flour from its storage container and into the measuring cup. Using the measuring cup as a scoop is incorrect as it can over-pack the flour, resulting in an inaccurate measurement. Spooning your flour in may take a wee bit longer, but it will be more accurate for a better end result. When filling the cup, do not shake or pack the flour but rather use the back of a knife or other flat utensil to level off the flour. This will make it even with the top of the cup. One way to be sure you have an accurate amount of flour is to measure by weight instead of just by volume; using a digital portion control scale is a reliable method. A cup's worth of all-purpose flour weighs 150 grams; 115 grams if sifted.
Baking Powder/Baking Soda
Baking soda and baking powder perform different functions in a recipe, but they can be measured the same way. As with flour, fluff these ingredients first to incorporate air and get an accurate measurement. To do so, stir the contents of the container first, then lightly scoop with a measuring spoon. Use a flat utensil to scrape off any excess from the top of the spoon back into the container.
White Sugar
Measure sugar by using the measuring spoon or cup to scoop it directly out of the storage container or bag until it is overflowing. Level off the top by sliding the back of a knife over the rim of the cup.
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is essentially white sugar with the addition of molasses. It is thus a more moist, dense sugar. To measure brown sugar, pack it down into the cup or measuring utensil. This can be done by using the cup to scoop the sugar out of the container, then patting it down with your fingers. The goal is for the sugar to retain the shape of the measuring cup when added to the other ingredients.
Powdered Sugar
Powdered sugar is very fine, and as such is prone to clumping if exposed to moisture. Sift the powdered sugar to strain out the smallest particles for the recipe, then spoon the sifted sugar into the measuring cup. Then use the back of a knife to level off the measuring cup to achieve an accurate amount.
Tips for Measuring Liquid Ingredients
Measuring liquid ingredients is best done with liquid measuring cups. Remember those spouts we talked about earlier? Make sure your cups are made from clear plastic or glass as this makes measuring much easier. Rest the measuring cup on a level surface, pour in the liquid, and view it at eye level to be sure the liquid hits the appropriate line on the cup. For smaller measurements, a regular measuring spoon works just fine.
Many recipes call for water or other liquid base for a recipe. The key for measuring water is to use a plastic or glass measuring cup, if possible, and to measure at eye level. It is not enough to hold a cup under a faucet then dump it into a bowl. Bend down to view the liquid in the cup and make sure the meniscus of the liquid rests right on the line of the measuring cup. If the liquid it opaque, such as milk, then simply get as close as possible to the measuring line.
Vanilla and other extracts are typically measured in very small portions, since they are very concentrated and aromatic. With ingredients like this, a little goes a long way. Many bakers pour vanilla into a measuring spoon while holding it over the mixing bowl. This is typically not the best idea, especially if you do not have a steady hand. If any liquid drips over the sides of the spoon, you may end up with more vanilla in the recipe than you need, which can throw off the flavors. Instead, measure over a clean measuring cup or another bowl. This way, any spilled extract can potentially be saved to use in another recipe.
Measuring oil is just like measuring water or other liquid. It simply has a different consistency. Make sure to measure oil in a clean, dry liquid measuring cup. If the cup happens to have any water leftover from a washing or from a previous measurement, it can alter the final measurement of the oil, so make sure to dry the cup before using it.
Tips for Measuring Unusual Ingredients
Not all baking ingredients fall into the categories of dry or liquid. Many ingredients are somewhere in between with a semi-liquid state, or something totally different like chopped nuts. You should most definitely measure these types of ingredients too.
Butter and Shortening
Fats that are solid at room temperature such as shortening and butter which require their own measuring techniques. Butter for baking typically comes in sticks surrounded by paper wrapping. That wrapping is conveniently marked with measurements, usually in terms of tablespoons. One stick of butter is equal to ½ cup. Nowadays manufacturers also make shortening available in "stick" form, whereas it used to be available only in hefty canisters. If you are measuring shortening the old fashioned way, the correct method is to scoop a heaping amount into a dry measuring cup, pack it down so there are no air spaces, and then level off the top with the back of a knife.
Chopped Ingredients
Many recipes call for chopped items such nuts, fruit or even candy. Read the recipe to see if it asks you to measure the ingredient before chopping or after. For instance, the recipe may call for "a 12 ounce bar of dark chocolate, chopped." The ideal way to measure this would be to purchase a chocolate bar wrapped and labeled "12 ounces," or potentially to weigh a hunk of chocolate before chopping it. However, if the recipe calls for "one cup of coarsely chopped dark chocolate," then one would measure using a dry measuring cup, filling it with chopped chocolate until it is level with the rim. Typically there is no need to level off the ingredients in this situation.
Measuring eggs does not always require a measuring cup, but rather an understanding of what size egg you need, and how to avoid getting shells in the batter or other ingredients. Always use the size of eggs a recipe calls for, but if no size is given then assume it calls for large eggs. Then, crack the eggs into a small glass bowl before adding them to the other ingredients. This will allow you to see if there are any stray pieces of shell in the eggs, and give you the chance to pick them out before they get lost in baking translation.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is much like shortening in that it is dense, sticky and difficult to manage, let alone measure. When measuring, spoon out the peanut butter into a dry measuring cup until it is level with the rim of the cup. It will help if the cup is slightly greased with a tiny amount of oil, which will prevent part of the peanut butter from sticking to the cup and throwing off the measurement.

Hey James or anyone there on the blog- quick question. Where are we at right now with the drought? I know we have gotten good rain lately, and I also know there was a historic deficit from last year's drought, but are we still classified as "exceptional drought" or has it gone down? Hopefully this active weather pattern is a sign of things to come in the rainfall department!
Jeff, follow this link to answer your question. It's a state drought map updated weekly. Hope it helps!
I have not seen a graphic of the path of the P'ville tornado anywhere… can someone direct me to that?

would love the set with the drop point I personally don't like gut hooks knife but really like the double sheath
May be higher priced compared to other knives but well worth it. This has the lock in the holster that allows the knives to snap into it keeping them in place and then the Velcro strap at the top along with the rubber pull over tab the secure the knives in place while you do your thing in the woods is a nice touch. I have been up and down trees, laying down in the woods, been all over with this knife set and have not even come close to losing them. Another great feature was when I was showing them to someone they asked how I got them so sharp. I never even touched the blades yet, they come honed to near perfection. Can't go wrong with these, you pay for what you get, and you get high quality knives.
This is a great set for the field. Easy to keep sharp. Makes for a quick Clean and Quarter Job. I love these knives!
I do not hunt but i do run a Custom processing shop. Beef and Pork we also processes deer for hunters. by far the best knife set i have ever owned.
Great knives good price, its a dressing kit not a butcher shop in your back pocket.
very limited without a saw application and to butcher and/or quarter
animal in field and pricey for what u get

The gas chromatographic analysis for the qualitatived and quantitative analysis of carboxylic acids present in valeriana extracts in the form of their n-butyl and trifluoroacetylated n-butyl esters is presented. On the basis of the proposed method the amount of four valtrate species, as well as the free carboxylic acid content of valeriana tinctures can be calculated. It is shown that extracts of Valeriana officinalis obtained by using ethanol, acetone, or chloroform as the solvent contain the same carboxylic acids. The determined components, are: formic, acetic, propionic, isobutyric, n-butyric, lactic, isovaleric, n-valeric, 2-hydroxy-isovaleric, isocaproic, n-caproic, caprylic, malic, capric, lauric, myristic, valerenic, palmitic, stearic, arachic, behenic, erucic and lignoceric acids.

small family hotel, nice restaurant, close to the seaside (not close to beach)
don't expect a perfect hotel room & service
Very well situate in the marina, close to many restaurants and with an excellent view from our room, a suite situated at the highest level.
The internet was not working and nobody tried to fix it during our stay, even if we asked for this daily. The air conditioning unit was functioning only at its highest level and the reception staff solution was to suggest us to turn it off from time to time, which is quite difficult during slipping. The cleaning of the room was reduced to arranging the beds and some towel replacement. We found a spider net in the shower when we arrive and we left it there when we left :). It is a pity that this nice hotel, so well situated, is not better administrated.
The massage at the spa was the only thing worth the money.
The staff was not at all helpful, the rooms and the entire hotel is done as to be luxurious, but at a closer look everything was built and arranged with very cheap materials.
The complex is not entirely finish - but the golf courts are ok and the rooms are very clean. The furniture is new and very modern, AC in every room - we had 2bedroom appartment. Also, surprisingly, it had 2 bathrooms - we expected only 1 :) Service at the restaurant was excellent (on breakfast croissants were over and when asked, they brought warm ones directly at our table, than to the buffet). The complex is huge. But the swimming pool compared to its size it is rather small.
Breakfast had few chioces - they were good tasting, but less than expected at 5* . True, when we stayed, there where not many tourists, so maybe when full, they have more to choose from.It ia far away from city and beach not so close. But there is a shuttle bus leaving when you ask them taking you to the beach. The beach is nice (you have to pay for sunbeds and umbrellas).
Comfort OK and peaceful place
In between my hotel room and another hotel room next to mine there was a door in the wall separating the two rooms, so at night I woke up because of the voices in the other room, so the noice separation was not ideal.
We had good accommodation during our holiday in Balcik and the price was fair. Decent breakfast was included. Cleaning was done daily.I appreciated the courtesy of the hotel staff and the excellent view over the sea from the room and hotel terrace.
Only the could water jacuzzi.
The location, is 5 minutes from the queen's castle, the room - with a view to the sea, the free wi-fi
poor breakfast
Very close to Queen Maria of Romania castle. Very queit. Excelent location in a big parc and excelent black sea view.
One of the two buildings are not renovated.
Good location, room was big enough and Bulgarian people seem friendly.
Oh the breakfast. 2 restaurants downstairs but nobody open early enough to have a healthy breakfast. We are vegetarians and tried to get just some toast with jam and butter but no....... The stuff at the pool (2 boys) slept on the chairs or swam in the pool with their girlfriends instead of cleaning the pool or working at the bar. I have photos to proof this. Why is nobody checking if the do their work? Also some shade (specially in the afternoon) at the pool would be great. and we had to pay for parking next door because the security stuff at the front of the hotel told us to park there. Not so nice
The staff very kind, brilliant position excellent food and restaurants and beautiful are with many things to view.
Wifi worked well. Pool ok close to water side restaurants
Buffet breakfast only available 2 days out of 6 the other days a plate with cheese, meat, cuecumber, tomato, boiled egg and olives, only 1 cup of coffee or tea, Jupiter may be 50 meters from the sea if you can walk trough the walls of the bank and shops, it's 300 meters to a small beach or 10-15 minutes walk to the main beach.
Excellent value for money, decent restaurant, free internet access and swimming pool.
Cleanliness only average (e.g. dusty floor in room), location is a little way from town centre and beaches if you lack transportation, but close to botanic gardens/palace.
Really enjoyed our 9 nights here, helpful staff, pleasant service, obliging owners. A happy crew who ensure that guests are well looked after, Great time, good meeting place if you are a Brit travelling alone as most days/ evenings the Paris is social meeting place where Brits that live in the near bu area meet for a drink and chat. Also the free use of PC and wireless network allows you no cost access to home business etc. As for the breakfasts I was alittle concerned having read other reviews but generally they are fine. You have choice of self service hot drinks teas various coffees, hot choc etc, help yourself to beutiful Bulgarian yoghurt, choice of 4 selctions with something for everyone, Great stay thanks.
All fine a very pleasnt stay and delighted to recommend
excellent location, beautiful sea view, clean the room, friendly staff. I recommend this hotel for the weekend and for longer stays.
Excellent location, clean room and friendly owners.
Would have preferred English breakfast. Will ask for this next time.
Wonderful sea view, nice staff, beach close to the hotel.
Lack of A/C in the bedrooms upstairs.
It is a nice budget hotel. Friendly staff.
The breakfast is basic and not so good...
The staff of the hotel was just perfect. The rooms - very clean and with a splendid view to the Black Sea.

The Highlife offers up the highest tech and quality we serve. Combining the UL core with Carbon Array 5™ Laminates on a Hybrid All Mountain shape make it the most powerful and responsive board on our menu.
Featuring rocker in the nose and a level micro-camber zone extending under the feet and through the tail.
This totally unique sidewall combines layers of Slimewalls® material and carbon strategically placed at the inserts out to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the back inserts to the contact points in the tail on a directional board. This exclusive tech enhances the charging riders' experience as we have moved the carbon pop construction to the outside edge for better stability and enhanced response.

CM Punk dropped a SmackDown Pipebomb … and Fandango
HQ Digitals — Screencaptures
CM Punk returned to SmackDown with a pointed message for former friend and business associate, Paul Heyman, and Heyman's monstrous client, Brock Lesnar. Just one week after "The Best vs. The Beast" showdown was set in stone for SummerSlam, Punk was in rare form, informing the fired-up Texas crowd that the pay-per-view blockbuster of a match is exactly what he wanted.
Punk's scathing tongue-lashing reached its crescendo when he proclaimed that, "Brock's biggest weakness is the fact that he trusts Paul Heyman." The former WWE Champion then stated emphatically that it will be that trust that will lead to Lesnar's downfall.
Just as Punk ramped up his rhetoric, though, Fandango shimmied his way down the ramp to cut in on The Straight Edge Superstar. Punk's answer: A GTS that left Fandango lying flat outside the ring.
CM Punk called out Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar
One would think that CM Punk wasn't feeling particularly talkative after his thrashing at the hands of Brock Lesnar last week, one would be right. Punk didn't want to talk, he wanted to fight. Speaking of Lesnar's true secret weapon – not his power, but the fear he inspires – Punk addressed The Anomaly's mystique head on with his boldest proclamation yet: "WWE.com, here's your headline … I am not afraid of Brock Lesnar."
Vowing to leave Lesnar as beaten as he was, Punk demanded a SummerSlam match of "The Best vs. The Beast," and his fiery rhetoric summoned Paul Heyman, via satellite and apparently next to Lesnar himself (The Anomaly remained offscreen), to offer a rebuttal. In short, Heyman's response was thus: "If it's a fight you want, CM Punk, your challenge at SummerSlam is accepted."

ComboBox.FindString Method (String)
Returns the index of the first item in the ComboBox that starts with the specified string.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
- s
- Type: System.String
The String to search for.
Return ValueType: System.Int32
The zero-based index of the first item found; returns -1 if no match is found.
The search performed by this method is not case-sensitive. The s parameter is a substring to compare against the text associated with the items in the combo box list. The search performs a partial match starting from the beginning of the text, and returning the first item in the list that matches the specified substring. You can then perform tasks, such as removing the item that contains the search text using the Remove method or changing the item's text. Once you have found the specified text, if you want to search for other instances of the text in the ComboBox, you must use the version of the FindString method that provides a parameter for specifying a starting index within the ComboBox. If you want to perform a search for an exact word match instead of a partial match, use the FindStringExact method.
The following code example shows the usage of the FindString method and SelectedIndex property. The example is part of a complete code example in the ComboBox class overview.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

To the Editor.
—At the University Hospital of Infectious Diseases, Zagreb, Croatia, a team of professionals was formed to evaluate the health status of Croatian prisoners of war from the armed conflict in Croatia. We report herein the main clinical and laboratory findings in 1458 (1450 men) ex-prisoners examined in the period from November 1991 to September 1992.The mean age of former prisoners was 32.8 years (range, 7 to 72 years), six being younger than 15 years and 21 older than 60 years.The mean duration of confinement was 154 days (range, 12 to 474 days); 571 (39%) were imprisoned for up to 100 days and 12 (0.8%) for more than 300 days. Most of the examined survivors were captured in eastern Slavonia (979 [67%]) or Vukovar (535 [37%]). Seven hundred forty-eight (51%) belonged to the reserve Croatian National Guard and 189 (13%) were civilians. The period of captivity

It's the most powerful Citroen ever! The French company has got hold of a new 237bhp 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbodiesel and dropped it into the C5.
Already available in the Jaguar XF, this PSA-developed unit delivers 32bhp more power than the outgoing 2.7-litre V6 HDi, while torque is up by 10Nm, to 450Nm. The result is silky smooth pace and bags of mid-range punch, which gives incredible overtaking urge and off-the-line acceleration that shames many hot hatches.
Video: watch CarBuyer's video review of the Citroen C5
It's not all about performance, though, as the engine is cleaner and more efficient than the 2.7. Emissions are cut by 12 per cent to 195g/km, while economy is up 13 per cent to 38.2mpg.
The big Citroen is supremely comfortable, due to its plush cabin and hydropneumatic suspension. What's more, the six-speed auto changes ratios seamlessly. All this makes for a more cosseting experience, as well as cruising ability on a par with that of a Mercedes E-Class.
However, in corners the C5 is no match for its Ford Mondeo class rival. The handling is hardly sharp and the steering vague. This soft set-up doesn't make the most of twisty British B-roads.
The new V6 is offered only in top-of-the-range Exclusive spec. But although its £27,195 price sounds expensive, there's a list of kit that puts more costly German competitors to shame. What's more, the quality of the cabin materials is impressive.
Residuals are questionable, but Citroen's showroom deals will help offset the depreciation – and with its refinement, comfort and huge spec, this car will leave few buyers wanting.
Rival: Volvo S80 D5
As with the C5, Volvo's top-spec saloon is supple and a great cruiser. Its five-cylinder diesel unit is punchy, too, and returns 40mpg. The entry-level car costs £27,995, although it doesn't come as well equipped.
* Price: £27,195
* Engine: 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel
* Power/torque: 237bhp/450Nm
* 0-62mph: 8.0 seconds

Dan Davis Law Firm understands how a dog attack can have devastating consequences, especially when children are involved
Victims of dog bite attacks in Oklahoma can rely on the understanding attorneys of the Dan Davis Law Firm to exercise appropriate judgment in pursuing their insurance claim for a dog bite injury. Oklahoma dog bite laws have provisions that allow victims to be compensated for their injuries in a way that is fair to all parties. Call us today for a no-obligation case review. To learn more about issues related to dog bites in Oklahoma, visit the following sections:
- Avoiding a Dog Attack
- Dog Bite Compensation
- Oklahoma Dog Bite Laws
- What to do if You've Been Bitten by a Dog
We realize that your pursuit of dog bite compensation may involve someone known to you or your family. We will exercise sensitivity while still pursuing fair and reasonable compensation for whatever injury or loss you may have suffered. Dog bite injury can be severe. The following are a few examples of types of injuries from dog bites:
- Injury requiring surgery
- Permanent damage to the extremities (hands or feet)
- Loss of a finger or fingers
- Permanent, visible scarring to the face
Avoiding a dog attack often comes down to common sense. At the Dan Davis Law Firm, we believe that each of us has a responsibility to act in a manner that will not cause harm to others or to ourselves. We urge you to follow these simple rules:
- Never antagonize a dog
- Never approach a dog you don't know
- Never leave a young child or baby unattended with a dog, even if you know the dog
- Never approach a dog that is eating
- Never approach a dog that is restrained with no owner present
Dog bites can lead to serious injury, including those that require surgery from the injury. A child who is bitten by a dog can experience severe emotional distress as a result of the event, especially if the child was pursued by the dog before the bite attack.
When you have an experienced Oklahoma attorney on your side, you can be sure that the dog bite compensation you or a loved one receives is appropriate for your unique circumstances. It is important to recognize that dog bite compensation does not come from the individual assets of the dog owner, but from the insurance coverage they have as a property owner.
Dog bite compensation may account for:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish or emotional distress
- Costs of rehabilitation or occupational therapy
Oklahoma dog bite laws are written in order to prevent an antagonistic relationship developing between dog owner and the dog bite victim seeking compensation. Dog bite compensation can vary depending on the age of the injury victim, the circumstances of the attack, and other factors.
Oklahoma dog bite laws have been put in place to protect victims of dog bites as well as to protect responsible dog owners. If you intend to seek dog bite compensation based on the dog owner's insurance coverage, Oklahoma dog bite laws put forward clear guidelines to establish the legitimacy of your claim.
The law can be complex, but in general two elements must be met in order for a dog bite victim to pursue compensation under Oklahoma dog bite laws:
- The victim had a right to be where he or she was at the time of the attack
- The dog bite victim did nothing to antagonize the dog before the incident
What to do if You've Been Bitten by a Dog
The following guidelines may help you if you or your child is bitten by a dog. Taking the right steps now may help you later when filing an insurance claim for dog bite compensation.
First and foremost, immediately seek appropriate medical attention. Second, do nothing that will put you or anyone assisting you at risk of further attack. Third, notify the appropriate animal control authority as soon as possible. We cannot stress these points strongly enough.
What to do if bitten by a dog:
- If possible, photograph the dog
- If you do not know who owns the dog, attempt to determine where the animal lives
- Photograph the location where the dog bite attack took place
- Photograph or otherwise document the extent of your injury
- Retain all medical records related to treatment for your dog bite injury
- Obtain a copy of any report generated by the responding animal control authority

I am trying to customize a theme using Woocommerce and I have encountered a couple of hurdles.
1. It seems the design of woocommerce in terms of AJAX add to cart is only allow simple products to do so.
2. add to cart variation js is only loaded when in single products page so that prevents developers from using that on other pages via ajax unless we dequeue and enqueue it again without the is_product() check.
3. add to cart variation js seems to have no scope because the original design was to function only on a single products page but this is a serious limitation because what if I wanted to utilize this js in other pages as stated on item 2 and i have say a grid of products. Without scope, the jquery selects would select all products in the grid instead of a specific product with scope. For example, if I click on a variation dropdown, it would trigger changes to all selects in all products instead of only the one I clicked...Again because it is lacking scope.
Would appreciated if anyone could give some insights to these hurdles.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Soaked to the skin from a Gatorade shower, Eric Mangini met his mentor at midfield and did everything he could to contain himself.
It was tough not to smile.
His Cleveland Browns battered one of the NFL's best.
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy scrambled for a touchdown, Peyton Hillis hammered for a career-high 184 yards and two scores and the Browns, using some trickery and a ton of offensive imagination, pounded the New England Patriots 34-14 on Sunday.
Two weeks after stunning New Orleans, the Browns (3-5) pulled off another shocker. Well rested after their bye week, they ended New England's five-game winning streak and did it decisively, outplaying one of the NFL's top teams for all 60 minutes.
This was no fluke. The Patriots (6-2) were battered, baffled and beaten badly.
It had to be particularly satisfying for Mangini, who defeated Bill Belichick, his former friend and mentor. The pair's relationship was damaged years ago and they ignored each other during pregame warmups. After the game Mangini shared a brief handshake with Belichick.
Hey Penguinsbird,
Where are you??? Waiting for one of your ignorant comments like, "GetEmNextYear" about the Browns game. As a Steelers fan, I for one, am hoping the Browns get better each week, so the rivalry comes back.
Where are you????
The Browns win today helps us (Steelers) in our playoff quest.
I'm glad that some of the Steeler fans,realize what an immature punk penguin bird is.The Browns have gotten better this year and are heading in the right direction.
Hey Penguinbird,
As you can see, other people on this website want you to GO AWAY!!!!!
We (Pittsburgh Fans) don't need NEGATIVE fans like YOU!
You talk like you're an undereducated, unemployed, white trash loser that shops daily at WalMart.
Nobody likes you!!!
Looking forward to playing the Browns again to bring back the rivalry again.

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis measures the "diagnostic accuracy" of a medical imaging system, which represents the second level of diagnostic efficacy in the hierarchical model described by Fryback and Thornbury (Med Decis Making 11:88–94, 1991). After describing the historical origins of ROC analysis, this paper reviews the importance of sampling cases appropriately, designing an observer study to avoid bias, and collecting data on a useful scale. A variety of methods for fitting ROC curves to observer data and testing the statistical significance of apparent differences are then reported. Finally, generalized forms of ROC analysis that require lesion localization or allow more than two states of truth are surveyed briefly.

Chief Says Kodak Is Pointed in the Right Direction
By CLAUDIA H. DEUTSCH
Published: December 25, 1999
ROCHESTER— Maybe George M. C. Fisher should feel pretty glum right about now.
This is the man, after all, who in 1993 was hailed as the Eastman Kodak Company's shining star. Fresh from a successful stint as Motorola's chief, he was expected to steer Kodak from the frightened old-style photography company it had become into a robust, hugely profitable player in the digital imaging age.
Those first few years, it seemed all systems were go. Mr. Fisher was an absolute hero in Rochester, a city whose economic fortunes and self-image have long been tied to Kodak. Strangers would greet him in restaurants and markets, the local news media recorded his every move, and the national press -- along with numerous consultants and professors -- placed him up with John F. Welch Jr. of General Electric and Lawrence A. Bossidy of AlliedSignal among the premier management movers of the 1990's.
But Mr. Fisher never fulfilled that promise at Kodak. When Daniel A. Carp, a 29-year Kodak employee who has long been Mr. Fisher's heir apparent, officially accepts the chief executive's post on Jan. 1 -- a year before Mr. Fisher's contract officially runs out on Dec. 31, 2000 -- he will inherit a company that measures the performance of its digital portfolio in reduced losses, not stellar profits.
Its mainstay business, conventional photography, is under competitive siege from Fuji Photo Film of Japan. And even though the Japanese yen has risen in value, making Kodak more competitive against Fuji, the continued strength of the dollar against most other currencies keeps eating away at its overseas profits.
Consequently, Kodak's share price is mired; its stock topped $80 a couple of times during Mr. Fisher's tenure, but always dropped precipitously again. Kodak shares closed at $63.4375 on Thursday.
When Kodak announced the succession in June, many analysts speculated that Mr. Fisher had been pushed by a fed-up board to relinquish the helm earlier than he had planned. Mr. Fisher, who is 60, insists the succession plan is on schedule, and any suggestion otherwise is enough to send sparks flying from his generally calm eyes.
''I stayed longer than I intended to, and I really get angry at innuendos that the board booted me out, or that Dan staged a palace coup,'' said Mr. Fisher, who will remain Kodak's chairman until the end of 2000. ''I should be getting high marks for managing a succession plan that was smooth as ice, yet everyone is looking for subplots. The fact is, some board members just didn't want me to leave, period.''
Indeed, in a conversation in his Rochester offices, as a bright winter sun bathed his face -- ''I'm a child of the sun, I'll take the window side in a plane just to enjoy the glare,'' he said with a laugh -- Mr. Fisher seemed anything but shaken or contrite.
''I never believed the hype about me going in, and I don't believe the bad things people say now,'' he said. ''I never deserved to be put on a pedestal, but I also didn't deserve to be knocked off it so inappropriately.''
As Mr. Fisher tells it, when he was persuaded by Roberto C. Goizueta, then chief executive of Coca-Cola and a Kodak board member, to take Kodak's top job in 1993, the company was a mess.
It was mired in debt. It had haphazardly diversified into pharmaceuticals and other areas it knew little about. Its growth, save the revenues it added on with ill-starred acquisitions, was flat. It was a high-cost manufacturer, with a bloated staff and a sleepy culture that was slow to make decisions. And it regarded digital photography as the enemy, an evil juggernaut that would kill the chemical-based film and paper business that had fueled Kodak's sales and profits for decades.
''This was a great American icon that was going the wrong way, fast,'' Mr. Fisher said. ''Roberto said, 'You've got to do this for God and America, you've got to get it directed into the next century, to make Kodak's own people understand that this company has a future.' ''
Mr. Fisher believes he has done just that. He notes that today, Kodak is focused on pictures, nothing else. It is nearly 20,000 jobs lighter, and a lot nimbler, thanks in part to a set of culture-changing incentives that reward managers for fast decisions and even faster execution. Roughly a third of its senior managers are new in their jobs; the board includes many more outsiders. And the company has a huge presence in China and other emerging markets, where most experts think consumer use of cameras is poised to explode.
Finally, this year, Kodak started growing again, with sales up about 5 percent. Its per-share earnings are rising, while its debt is shrinking.
Kodak also has a new ''digitization strategy'' for using digital technology to enhance, not replace, conventional film. Through Internet partnerships that let customers receive electronic versions of their photos by e-mail, through kiosks that let them manipulate and reproduce old photographs, and through archival services that let users store their photographs on CD-ROM's or on the Internet, Kodak has managed not only to salvage its profitable chemical-based photography business, it has added a technological veneer to it.

David Yates signed on to direct Tarzan in November, but there have been few new details about the project since. Last we heard, Alexander Skarsgard was a favorite for the title role, and now it turns out an actress is being eyed to play Jane.
The New York Post reports that Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain is "the first choice to play Jane," Tarzan's love interest, in the new movie. The outlet confirms Skarsgard is still "in the running" for Tarzan, while Samuel L. Jackson remains "rumored to play an ex-mercenary who helps Tarzan save the Congo from a vicious warlord." He was previously described as "a Civil War veteran eager to redeem himself for his part in the massacre of Native Americans." That's quite an ambitious cast, and it remains to be seen whether Warner Bros. can bring the four talented stars together.
According to an earlier report, Tarzan will center on John Clayton III, the famous "ape man" Tarzan, years after he's re-assimilated into English society. Asked by Queen Victoria to investigate "the goings-on in the Congo," he teams with a former mercenary named George Washington Williams to save the country from a warlord who controls a massive diamond mine.
The movie is expected to start shooting over the summer, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.
Interesting mix of Tarzan,Blood Diamonds,and maybe Hotel Ruwanda?(did I spell that right?) Fine if they can pull these elements together and avoids restating the Tarzan origin.(After all this isn't another Superman or Spiderman movie)For those of you who have a better grasp of the historical period didn't the Congo belong to the Netherlands at the time and evil King Leopold? That would make the problem in the Congo the Dutch..Why would Queen Victoria have jurisdiction or even care at this point in time?
Jessica Chastain may be a good choice to play Jane, But Alexander Skarsgard is NOT a good choice to play Tarzan. Definitely not.

Proposal: Zend_ExtJS classes
I am starting to build a library of ExtJS interface classes that plug into the Zend Framework. I wanted to know if there was any interest in flesh this out more to a public extension. I have parts of this done and being used in a project, but it would be nice to have the rest - and if there is interest I will try to incorporate other ideas into it.
A small intro to Zend Framework for those that don't use it. It is a MVC framework that uses URL rewrite rules to process a URL in the format of hostname://module(optional)/controller/action . Every controller is a php class in a file that has methods that are the actions. the controller actions validate the parameters interact with the model (which usually is tied to the database) and when it exits a view template by the same controller action name is processed to return the request.
I have subclassed the Controller to Zend_ExtJS_Controller_Action. In its constructor it adds an ajax context switch, if it is an xhr request it looks for a format parameter. I used the extraParams in my code to default that to json format.
PHP Code:
Ext.Ajax.extraParams = { format: 'json' };
I have added lots of view helper routines. Inside the action you call one of them like
PHP Code:
send_success(optional data);
send_failure(optional message);
send_form(name, Zend_ExtJS_Form object); sends back a config object with xtypes
send_form_errors(either Zend_ExtJS_Form object or array of associated errors, data array of associated data);
send_component(name, ExtJS_Component decedent);sends back a config object with xtypes
This will require supporting classes of
Zend_ExtJS_Form (and form elements)
Zend_Component generic component
Plus Zend_ExtJS_Store that creates a store from either a fetchall or user created array
Also Zend_ExtJS_Handler so that an component can have js code associate with it
When you send a form or component it will create a component array associated by the passed name plus a map of handlers. There will be a js script piece on the recieving end to
getZendComponent(name) returns the created component with the handlers eval'ed
getZendComponentConfig(name) returns the config object for the component with handlers eval'ed
So, also, for the non-ajax pages. Zend_ExtJS will help build the script and css link sections for you. You tell it your local path to extjs and it will create the rest of the path, switching between debug or minified based on the previously stated debug mode. You can also tell it any personal js code to link in.
If anyone else is interested in something like this, lets work out a common framework that we can all share. No timeline on when this will be ready. But we could do a google share on the code when it gets somewhat ready.
Thoughts? Ideas? Interest?
2 Mar 2009 1:39 PM #2
There's other frameworks that use url rewriting to route requests to controller/method, for example CodeIgniter. As you deliberate, maybe rather than call everything Zend_whatever, you go a bit more agnostic and maybe keep it abstract enough to work with any URF (Url Rewrite Framework... )
P.S. With php6 on the horizon, maybe all the Zend_whatever, won't require all the Zend_ if it was introduced for namespace issues?MJ

hi all
it is very good initiative, II currently develop a project with Zend FrameWork and a ExtJS for views,I support highly such a project and I follow ready to test and help if necessary.newbie with ExtJS.
visit my Blog (use Zend Framework with ExtJS)
3 Mar 2009 6:54 PM #5
I use Zend Framework and ExtJS for most my projects of decent size anyways. If you need anyone to test i can Maybe able to help ya add a feature or bug fix here and there too. Just my schedule is kinda crazy right now so can't commit to more then help testing.
I have actually been thinking about doing the same myself after seeing dojo and jquery support in Zend. Just haven't been able to find the time. But like i said more then willing to help test and anything else i can find the time for at least probably submit a couple bug fixes if i find any bugs and patches if i need to add a feature for something i'll be more then willing to share it with your code base.
4 Mar 2009 10:46 AM #6
I work closely with the Zend Framework Team so let me know any way I could help you with the proccess.
Have you created a proposal for the Zend_Extjs?
I also know this would be like the jquery one and fall under the ZendX_ layout as it would not be supported a part of the core library.
4 Mar 2009 11:03 AM #7
I am working on a proposal. I posted in the zf mailing list to get feedback on my approach and Matthew responded. So now making the changes he suggested in the approach - actually very minor overall. I have sent a licensing question to extjs to make sure there will be no conflicts there. The proposal doesn't generate extjs code, only config blocks so I don't think it will be a problem. Being in the ZendX is not a problem, as long as it exists to help people that want it.
14 Mar 2009 8:49 AM #8
How long does it usually take questions to be answered from firstname.lastname@example.com? I have had a question sent about this project without a response or acknowledgment that it is being looked at. Even sent a follow up email. I am curious to the status, with no acknowledgment I am not sure it ever got received.
22 Mar 2009 1:54 PM #9
Good initiative! I was trying to begin something like that. But i don't understant whom will generate the extjs code, if not the classes? Will we continue writing "Ext.Window" in the templates files?
I think the license terms could be more simpler, if they aren't. What i understand is: if you use extjs to develop closed source applications, you must purchase a license, right? So, what is the problem in the zend framework have native classes for extjs components? Or even, if someone create a zend framework extension, what is the problem in it generating extjs code? Is extjs license restrictive that way?
22 Mar 2009 2:40 PM #10
For example: a return might be something like
PHP Code:
"xtype": "form",
"emptyText":"User ID Required",
