Colorado Floods: NCUA Activates Disaster Policy
The NCUA over the weekend activated its disaster relief policy in response to the flooding in Colorado.
The policy allows the agency to encourage credit unions to offer special loan terms to affected members, re-schedule routine examinations, if necessary, and guarantees lines of credit for credit unions through the Share Insurance Fund and liquidity needs through the Central Liquidity Facility.
CU Employees Hit by Flooding
Flooding Closes Colorado Credit Unions
Some Credit Unions Re-Open in Boulder
The emergency declaration also allows federal credit unions to offer other credit unions, members and non-members help in such areas as check cashing and access to ATM networks.
The NCUA said examiners are surveying credit unions in affected areas in Colorado where authorities said record rainfall last week have caused at least four deaths, widespread damage and evacuations as the floodwaters surge down from the mountains into the plains, affecting an area nearly as large as the state of Connecticut.
The policy – intended to help protect consumers and ensure credit union services in affected areas – was most recently activated in May after tornados in Oklahoma and after Hurricane Sandy last fall.
"Credit unions in need of NCUA assistance dealing with members affected by the flooding should contact their primary supervisory official," the agency said in its announcement Saturday.

The district released the notification letter from the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on Wednesday.
The letter does not contain details, but a copy of the complaint submitted by the parent to OCR obtained by the Weekly alleges that the district failed to provide the student with educational services equal to those afforded mainstream students, did not ensure a safe and secure school environment and did not properly carry out the student's individual education plan (IEP.)
"This has been an ongoing issue that I have been trying to work through the school channels since the beginning of this school year," the complaint states.
The complaint also says the family has been working with both an educational advocate and an attorney to try to resolve the issues with the district prior to filing the OCR complaint.
In an April 28 email to Superintendent Kevin Skelly and the school board, obtained by the Weekly, the mother of the student made a final plea for a resolution.
"(T)his process has dragged on all year, is now relatively time-critical, and I am beyond frustrated," the email said.
The mother said that in addition to not receiving appropriate education services, her child has been the subject of ongoing bullying.
She outlined a series of specific steps she was seeking, including remedial services to help her child catch up between now and the start of school in the fall.
"I am hoping that you and/or the board are as interested as I am in reaching an acceptable solution and moving forward constructively without further legal assistance/intervention. Perhaps you have other options we have not yet explored?" the email concluded.
Skelly responded the next day: "I wanted to let you know that I spoke to Holly (Wade, director of special education for the school district) at length about this issue. My sense is that we can work through these issues. Everyone I speak with has very nice things to say about your (child)."
The mother replied 15 minutes later: "That's great. (Omitted) IS a wonderful kid. (Omitted) deserves to feel safe and to get the same education offered other kids of (omitted) his intelligence in this district. How are we going to make this right for (omitted)? I put forth my position very clearly. What is your proposal? Incidents continue daily. I am VERY tired of advocating and ready to turn it over to professionals."
According to the mother, there was no further response from Skelly and none from the board and no substantive proposed resolution from other district staff.
The Office for Civil Rights is the arm of the federal Department of Education that protects the civil rights of children in public schools receiving federal funds.
It responds to complaints of discrimination, including discrimination based on gender, race, disability, sexual preference and nationality.
As long as complaints are filed in a timely manner and pertain to federal civil-rights laws enforced by the Office for Civil Rights, an investigation will be conducted to determine if any violations of law occurred. According to the OCR's letter to the district, "opening allegations for investigation in no way implies that OCR has made a determination with regard to their merits."
Under Office for Civil Rights policies, if an investigation concludes the district was out of compliance with civil rights laws, the district has an opportunity to resolve the matter by negotiating a resolution agreement prior to formal findings being issued by the government.
The new complaint comes as the district is in the process of carrying out terms of a "resolution agreement" in a bullying case dating back to 2011 involving a special-education middle school student.
In that case, the Office for Civil Rights conducted an extensive investigation, including on-site interviews of more than 30 students, teachers and administrators. It issued findings that the district had violated federal anti-discrimination laws by failing to respond properly and stop the bullying behavior, allowing a hostile environment that interfered with the student's rights to an education.
Coincidentally, various school groups were to have held a public meeting last night where a representative from OCR was to explain and answer questions on the law and the role of OCR in working with school districts. See Palo Alto Online for a report on that meeting.

"If you don't like litter, do something about it!"
|February 2010 New report published by Litter Heroes
What's Littering Britain? A survey of British litter
Be a hero - pick up some litterThis is a site for people who want to do something about litter. It's aim is to encourage as many people as possible to pick up litter and promote policies that will stop people littering. In a group or on your own, picking up litter is more than OK, it's actually an enjoyable, safe and satisfying thing to do.
Five things you can do about litter
- Pick it up! It won't hurt and nobody will laugh at you...more info
- Report heavily littered streets and roads to your Council - they have to pick it up...more info
- Write to your MP and ask him/her to urge the Government to introduce a 10p deposit on drinks cans and bottles......more info
- Write to Coca-Cola, Red Bull and McDonalds and ask them why their products are so heavily littered and what they are going to do about it ....more info
- Pick up some more litter - there's lots of it.
About the problem
Litter picking with Bill Bryson during the making of "Notes from a Dirty Island" Panorama BBC1
We collected this litter from less than half a mile of country lane in the Cotswolds.
Photo courtesy of Mayavision Limited
Litter is a complex problem and there are no quick, easy solutions. It boils down to two key issues:
- A signicant proportion of the population still thinks it is OK to drop litter, particularly when they are in their cars.
- Hardly anyone picks it up.
One initiative that is proven to lead to a significant reduction in littering is a Bottle Bill, a 10p refundable deposit on cans and plastic bottles. However, at present this is not even on the Government's radar.
In the mean time, we need to do a better job of picking up litter. This is not something that can be left to Local Authorities to solve. We all need to get into the habit of picking up litter.
It is worse in the countryside
1 mile of country lane - 147 items of litter:
In the city there is also the possibility that people might be caught and fined for dropping litter. In the countryside, the risk of being caught and fined is negilible.
The good news is that litter picking in the countryside is a really pleasant thing to do.
Five good reasons why you should go and pick up some litter
1. It's enjoyableHonest, it really is. It is a great excuse to get out in the fresh air, get some exercise and do something useful.
2. You'll make a big differenceTwenty minutes litter picking can really transform an area. Today's litter is so in your face that removing it makes a big difference.
3. You'll feel goodLitter picking is surprisingly rewarding. It's very satisfying to look back on a clean, rubbish free country lane and know it is down to your efforts.
4. You'll help prevent further litteringStudies have shown that people are less likely to drop litter in areas which are litter free. By helping keeping somewhere clean, you'll be helping to discourage littering.
5. Your countryside needs youWe live on a small overcrowded island. We do not have so much open space and countryside that we can afford to trash it with litter. Today's litter is very long lived, it does not rot or degrade in a hurry. A drinks can takes 100 years to degrade and plastic bottle more than a thousand. If we don't pick this stuff up it will still be there for our great great grandchildren.
So go on, try picking up some litter, you'll be pleasantly suprised.
If you are up for it, I suggest you read the Pick Some Litter page.
And here are the five lamest excuses for not picking up litter
1. "I don't see why I should pick up other people's litter"Edmund Burke was right: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". That's what's happening right now. By default, we are allowing the people who drop litter to win because we can't be bothered to do anything about it.
2. "It's the council's job"This is a good attitude to take if you like paying Council Tax. In England and Wales Local Authorities already spend around Ł500m per year of our taxes on picking up litter. Getting to grips with rural litter would require a signficant increase in this figure. The truth of the matter is that Councils can't solve this problem on their own. This is something we can and should do for ourselves.
3. "It's dirty"Not true. It's no more dirty than a little light weeding - just wear some gloves. How dirty can you get picking up a coke can?
4. "It's demeaning"Yes, you may feel a bit self conscious at first. But the feeling lasts about 5 minutes. People won't think you are nuts and your friends will still speak to you.
5. "I might get hurt picking up something nasty"There is really very little risk. Out in the countryside you very rarely come across anything dangerous or unpleasant. It is almost all plastic bottles, cans, crisp packets and chocolate wrappers.
About meMy name's Tim Barnes and I pick up litter.
It started when I happened to noticed how litter strewn one of my favourite walks in the Cotswolds had become. Next time I did the walk I took a carrier bag with me and picked some of it up. After that, it was if someone had given me litter spectacles - I started seeing it everywhere.
I noticed it most when I was out cycling. Even in the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the roadside verges are covered in it. It is almost impossible to find a mile of litter free country lane.
Now I go out with large refuse sacks and fill two or three at a time. I do it because I love the countryside and can't stand by as we turn it into a landfill site.

If there were any indication that Celtics team president Danny Ainge was planning on putting together an intentionally bad team next year, it would be evidenced by the way he handles point guard Rajon Rondo who, strange as it may be to say, is not only the sole remaining link to the '08 championship team, but also the '10 Finals team.
A source told Sporting News on Monday that, while Ainge gets calls on Rondo regularly, he has no intention of trading him, but rather, wants to see how Rondo operates as the team leader without Pierce and Garnett around.
MORE: Pelicans make offer to Evans | NBA free agent list | Smith starts with Pistons
As one opposing general manager put it, "I don't think Danny has made a single call about Rondo. He has gotten calls. But it would be wrong to say he has considered shopping him."
And Rondo is perfectly happy to be part of the Celtics going forward. He has not issued a trade demand or a request or even so much as a trade inquiry, a source told Sporting News. He has no incentive to do so. In fact, Rondo welcomes the challenge of taking over the new-look Celtics, however things might pan out.
Though he only played 38 games for the Celtics last season, Rondo did technically lead the league in assists, with 11.1 per game, his second straight year as the league leader and his third straight season with an average of at least 11 assists.
But Rondo is coming back from an ACL injury, and is expected to miss the start of the season. Even when he does come back, he might not be quite himself from the get-go—very often, players need more than a year to fully get comfortable with a surgically repaired knee. Part of the goal of next year for Rondo, then, will be making his way back to 100 percent.
After that, Rondo will go into 2014-'15 at 28 years old and looking at the final year of his contract. Assuming he is fully healthy and running the show for a younger, more up-tempo team, he is likely to put up good numbers heading into his free agency.
And, although Rondo is the last remaining pillar from their title season, the Celtics do not plan to become a below-average team.
Ainge met the media on Monday for the second time in a week, and much like last week, he had little choice but to discuss the departure of future Hall of Famers. Where last week it was coach Doc Rivers, this week it was Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
Ainge couldn't discuss the deal that would send those two to Brooklyn directly—the trade becomes official on July 10—but he did address the notion that he was planning to tank the coming season in order to gain a more favorable place in next year's draft, which is expected to be stacked with talent.
"We are not tanking," Ainge said. "That's ridiculous. This is the Boston Celtics."
Ainge had little choice but to trade Pierce and Garnett, and get what he could for them in return. But when it comes to Rondo, he is not looking to unload, not looking to give up talent in order to intentionally be bad next year. And Rondo is not looking to get out, either.

A Description of Final Judging
Judges will read all the final reports after they are submitted on April 6.
During a telephone conference call on Wednesday, April 20, they will select
about half a dozen teams as first-round finalists. These teams will present
their work to the finalist judges in the morning of April 25. During the
time that these teams are presenting to the finalist judges, all of the other
teams will be making their 30 minute poster board presentations to the Expo
judges. At the completion of these presentations, a few more teams will be
selected to make presentations to the finalist judges. At the completion
of judging, the finalist judges will select first and second place,
honorable mention, and determine other awards.
The final judging for projects is held in Los Alamos.
The AiS Challenge judging panel is made up of scientists and computer
professionals who work in New Mexico's universities, government laboratories,
and businesses. Teams are encouraged to write to Consult if they would
like to discuss their work after judging is completed.
Finalists should bring the Display Board Presentation developed for the
Expo to Final Judging. This gives the Judges another opportunity to
study your work.
The finalist teams make 25-minute presentations of their projects to the
full panel of judges on the day before the Awards Ceremony. During each
finalist team's presentation, the various members of the team describe the
project, demonstrating their teamwork and shared work responsibilities.
See Preparing Effective
Visual Aids.
There will need to be a few minutes remaining at the end of the 25-minute
session to allow for questions from the judges. Try to imagine what
questions the judges might ask. If you can't include that information
in your presentation, be sure to prepare answers in case the questions
are asked. Decide ahead of time what topics will be covered by which
team members.
Teams will have connectivity to the Internet. A flip chart, VCR, overhead
projector, PC and computer projection will be available. Each room has a
white board. Teams need to let Consult know if they have special requirements.
PowerPoint is loaded on the PC. Teams are
welcome to bring their own laptops. Remember that software is generally
upwardly compatible.
Each team has 30 minutes before judging to prepare and make sure everything
is working. A Consultant will be available to help iron out problems. At
the end of the 30 minutes the judges will come into the room and judging
will begin. At the end of the presentation and questions, the judges will
move to the other room to judge the next team. Your team needs to get your
presentation materials packed up and out so that the next team can get

I bought a Speed Graphic that came with a Heiland flash that holds 3 D cell batteries. Can someone tell me which plugin the household connector goes in on the flash handle? The other end of the cord goes to the bipost on the shutter.
There is one that is directly in the back and one on each side. I've tried doing searches on the net, but keep getting instructins on how to make a damn Darth Vader Light *****. Thanks George Lucas!

Heiland made several models and not all had every type of socket. There are three names usually found. "Shutter" "Solenoid" and "Extension."
Now if you're plugging directly into a shutter, such as that on the back (in this case it's the focal plane shutter built into the camera) or the shutter between the lens, then you need to plug the cord into the "shutter" outlet.
If however your plugging into a silver cylinder thingy near the front shutter, then you need to plug into the "solenoid" or "Extension" outlet. In this latter case, you fire the camera and the bulb by pressing the button on your flash unit.

Assuming the connectors on the flash are not labelled, you can eliminate the solenoid connector by looking for the one that gets voltage across it when the button on the flash is pushed. On the Graflite, this does not require a bulb. Yours is probably wired in a similar manner. Not knowing what the third one is, I'd have to guess. Remote?

If you have a unit with no markings it probably is a SOL. This flash has an interlock so you cannot press the red button when the plug is in the shutter inlet. looking from the back at the button the left and right outlets supply 4.5 volts to either the solenoid or another flash when the button is pressed. If you wanted to use both the solenoid and shutter sync from the camera you are out of luck. If this is not the unit you have, just disregard this info. Russ

Thanks Russ,
this is the unit. The red button will not work when the plug is in the back. So, to use the shutter with flash the plug needs to be in the back? I wished I had a manual for the flash.
Thanks for the info.

'Early'- Aprx.1949 and up to about the late '50's - Heiland battery case sockets were not identified/labelled. However the one at the 'rear'-(opposite the 'Trigger' button) - was always used for plugging in a cord that went to the external shutter flash contacts...Dual pin or PC or bayonet ASA Kodak type, etc...OR the focal plane shutter flash contacts as mentioned in another post.
Either socket- on the sides - was for a cord that went to a Solenoid, &/or an extension flash. (Various plug' tips' were available for different Solenoids. Most were either Graflex or Heiland) The plug end that goes on the Graflex Solenoid is a 'Male' dual prong, and a 'Female' dual prong for Heiland). 'Household' type plugs fit in the side and rear sockets.
If a plug is inserted into the 'rear' socket, this disables the 'Trigger' button. As this rear connection flashes the bulb from the shutter through its external dual post flash sync contacts, one would not want to inadvertantly flash the bulb out of habit using the 'Trigger' button. Once a plug is removed from the rear outlet and you wish to use the 'Trigger' button for tripping a shutter through a Solenoid, and thus the flash, you may have to press the 'Trigger' button a few times -(without bulbs in the battery case, and no cord going to a solenoid) - as on an early battery case I have, the 'Trigger' button 'sticks' until 'freed-up'. This may not occur on your battery case, or newer ones.
There is also a 'special outlet' for "electrical focusing devices" such as a Kalart Focuspot' which provides battery power to the device. This socket has dual round holes which take a Kalart cord..if you can find one.
One thing not possible with the Heiland battery cases is to be able to trip a shutter with a Solenoid, AND get flash sync through external shutter contacts, as this means a plug is in the rear socket, and as explained, this 'freezes' the 'Trigger' Button. However, if you have an electronic flash, you can have the solenoid trip the shutter, and connect a cord from the external shutter flash contacts TO the electronic flash unit. Graflex/Graflite DID allow the use of tripping a shutter from a 'Trigger' button, AND flashing a bulb using a cord from the shutter flash contacts up to one of the sockets.
'Later' labelled outlets battery cases identified the three 'household' sockets as: "Remote'(Rear); the two others as: "Tripper" or "Extension". Also on later labelled cases such as the model 24-3 'Synchronar', the 'REAR' socket was 'Polarized'. They made one of the two slots .186" and the other .250". This meant that most cords could not be inserted unless stated as 'Polarized' - and likely a Heiland brand - OR, if one ground down one or both of the prongs on an older 'Household' plug it then would fit the socket.
The purpose of this 'Polarized' outlet was for use with a twin gun -i.e.battery cases -
arrangement and connected with a Heiland 54-1 Polarized cable.
Other battery cases - without a 'Trigger' button -(Later ones were called a "Microswitch")- may or may not be labelled.
P.S. After submitting I noticed_some points I made had already been mentioned.
Hope this helps.________________

The Sea Otter Pokémon
Hello, I'm Nichole. A twenty-something, female, Australian, suffering autism/social issues and proud member
of this forum since 2011. Been a childhood fan of Pokemon since I was only 7, and I picked up
my first Pokemon game when I was 11. Pretty much have played every game since then.
Joined PC in March 2011. Became a Community Supporter in October 2012, started off initially as
a Tier 4, since jumped to Tier 5 or as we know them these days, Crystal Tier.
Now I am suddenly a Platinum Tier for whatever reason. Ex Showdown regular, and currently active Tumblr blogger.
Aside from Pokemon, I have a love for cute anime girls, plushies, music and anything that gives
me a good laugh. This blog will mainly be a showcase of stuff I am loving right now, some personal
reviews and ramblings, music, funny stuff, life updates and things going around PC.

War videos are bad... but Sylveon is not.
Posted March 4th, 2013 at 1:15 PM by Hikamaru
Since I lost an entry to the people offended by the war, I feel bad.
Anyways, I'm replacing it with another meme-based entry, and it's to do with the whole "Sylveon's Type" speculation.
Given the looks of this, could Sylveon be a Flying-type like most people think?

I've seen this and I could see it being a flying type...

I had a long day at school, idk, but I seriously for at least several seconds thought this diagram was going to imply that it is a ground type, not flying type, haha. Still, I don't even see how it can fly (maybe just fwoosh like a Skymin does?). It'll probably be a normal or loyalty/friendship/bond type pokemon lmao. /if rumors are true
Kura's comment made me think of tacking on ribbons and accessories on your Sackboy in Littlebigplanet LOL

Hmm.. Eevee's evolutions have always come in sets of two. According to your chart this would be the end of the Eevee evolutions. D:
Anyway, they always have corresponding super effective typing. Umbreon super effective against Espeon. Leafeon super effective against Glaceon. Blah blah blah. It stands to reason that if Sylveon's type is Flying, perhaps the next evolution will be Rock? Or even Fighting?

IT Management
Rep. Darrell Issa argues that the time is right to revamp the law that created the CIO position and set IT procurement processes for agencies.
The time has come to revise the framework that dictates the acquisition process for federal IT, according to two lawmakers in what might be a rare moment of bipartisan agreement.
Kicking off the Dec. 3 Nextgov Prime event in Washington, D.C., Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Gerald Connolly (D-Va.) said the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 should be revamped to better serve the federal government's technology acquisition needs. The law created the CIO role and has spurred many discussions over the years about whether it is necessary for CIOs to have budget control.
In September, Issa released a draft of a bill intended for the next Congress, called the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act. It would grant more power to agency CIOs to control the technology government acquires while also promoting strategic sourcing.
Read the draft Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act.
But some industry groups say certain parts of Issa's bill should be modified to gain the support from the private sector. In a Nov. 30 letter to Issa, TechAmerica, BSA | The Software Alliance, the Coalition for Government Procurement and the Information Technology Industry Council wrote that the current version of FITARA could cause confusion for federal procurement officials. Instead of streamlining the acquisition process, these new provisions could instead stall it, the groups said.
The letter also states the group supports the goal of government becoming more sophisticated as a customer of IT, but calls for investments in the acquisition workforce and the consolidation of governmentwide and multiagency purchasing agreements that the groups believe to be unnecessary.
"We truly appreciate the effort of Chairman Issa and his staff and look forward to continuing to discuss our serious concerns," Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president for global public sector at TechAmerica, said in a Nov. 30 statement. "Ensuring that the federal acquisition system is working as it should be, the government has access to the latest innovation and that taxpayers are getting the best value for their money is the top priority for all of us."
Meanwhile, Issa said he and Connolly are both in a position to see the long-term effects of Clinger-Cohen and how it could be improved.
"This is not a partisan issue," he said. "Clinger-Cohen, which was passed before either of us was in Congress, needs an overhaul for one most important reason, and that is: If you authorize CIOs, then by definition the term should mean something. When you have hundreds of them for 24 agencies, you really don't have chiefs."
Issa's bill intends to redefine the term "chief" to mean "the chief," Issa stressed. "There are plenty of ... people controlling at the lower levels, but there has to be one responsible individual that holds their staff [accountable] at all levels regardless of their titles or pay grade. We don't have that in the federal government."
"If something goes wrong, you can have in one agency 20 people who bear the name 'chief,' but none has budget authority," he added.
In praising Issa's draft proposal, Connolly acknowledged the long road ahead, in particular in the areas of the acquisition workforce.
"I think we have a lot of work to do; I'm hopeful and I think Chairman Issa's draft bill gives us a framework that we're still working on and I'm thanking you for including a number of us in that effort," he said. "But we have a long way to go in making the federal government a lot more efficient and its management of IT resources, and the criticality of that when we look at the fiscal situation." In a separate interview, Connolly told FCW that he intends to be a chief co-sponsor when Issa introduces the measure next year.
Every year, $80 billion is funneled into government technology, $20 billion of which is spent on wasteful projects, Issa said. Those projects have a ripple effect and add hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S. economy. "I would throw that $20 billion into the mix if it meant the rest of the government was efficient and effective and had the kinds of information and accountability that, let's say, Walmart insists on for its equipment," Issa said. "If you're a Walmart today ... you have complete transparency and your vendors have complete transparency as to where the information is, where the incoming goods are."
Issa's bill also aims to fix the contentious issue of budget authority for CIOs. Some have argued that it would allow CIOs to get things done faster and more efficiently; others say plenty can be done without it. Issa said what is needed is one person who has the power to stop a program and tell Congress, "This is my $2 billion, and I'm telling you, we need to move it here and there."
That person does not have to be the most technologically savvy individual, Issa added, or even the best manager, but rather someone who recognizes when a program is struggling or when it has an opportunity to succeed.
"Chairman Issa and I share a lot in common on this subject, and I very much look forward to working with him on trying to find a statutory framework to move forward," Connolly said, adding that the government faces a host of challenges with respect to technology, including addressing such issues as how well the existing resources are being used.
"Whatever happens with the fiscal cliff [or] a contracted federal presence over the next 10 years to get the debt down ... then technology becomes more important than ever," he added. "Can I deploy technology in such a way that I more than make up for the aggregate resources we are using? That is the essential task for every federal agency."
In many ways, the federal government is lagging behind the private sector, Connolly said. "We're less nimble, and it takes us a lot more time to make decisions when we see something isn't working," he said. "And it takes us a lot more time than the private sector to pull back and acknowledge a mistake and move on and not stick with it and waste even more money."

Nick Sinai and Steve Kelman contend that a great way to "drain the swamp" is to fix the Do Not Pay shared service that was created to combat fraudulent and improper payments.
From my own gov't experience for 20+ years, that real problem lies deeply in GROSSLY over compensated UNqualified so-called "management" who in too many cases are nothing more than USELESS nepotism hires. We have them all over the place in our "organization". We also get all kinds of "ethics reminders" too, yet we have an attorney who is sleeping with an employee in her own department! The "peter principle" is also very much alive and well too. These people conveniently, at will, hire their relatives and friends too....several here WITHOUT any kind of official job posting!!! It should be easy for any one with a shread of common sense to see that the abuse/corruption is absolutely rampant and is seriously demoralizing to employees who are truly here to serve taxpayers. It is a daily struggle for far too MANY of us. Unfortunately no one really wants to hear about it and if you do dare to bring it up, the typical management mentality is to "shoot the messenger" and openly retaliate against those who raise legitimate concerns about blatant waste, fraud and abuse. My organization alone has wasted MILLIONS upon MILLIONS every fiscal year on the FAILED IT "projects" of some ignoramus "ideas" of UNqualifies IT pretenders in our organization alone... There is NEVER any "Project/Business Plan" either it is always off the top this guys's head on a second by second basis. He doesn't document anything and when the guy does write something, it sounds like a vendictive illiterate grade schooler, not at all like a true professional. ALL the "managers" above this guy that allow this nonsense to go on and actually defend this incompetent>>SHOULD be FIRED too! Until "management" at ALL levels in government are truly held FULLY accountable, NOTHING will ever change. Quite frankly, I don't ever see that happening in regard to any "new" updates to existing or new laws....it simply more "useless words on paper" just like the "No Fear Act which also has no teeth...Needless to say these incompetent so-called "managers" at all levels need to be PERMANENTLLY REMOVED from government service. The people responsible for all these nepotism hires also need to be permanently removed from government service as well. We are SUPPOSED to be civil servants to the American taxpayers, because it is THEY who fund our salaries! Technically THEY are the bosses!!! Yes indeed welcome to our gov't workplace world, what is commonly known here as "Stupidville"...sadly your tax dollars at "work"...NOT!
I'll tell you needs revisiting - Federal shared services centers and their stable of large contractors. Talk about restricting competition and squeezing out small business!!!
It is time to refrom CCA, but the focus needs to be on 21st century management using IT. the government needs business transformation more than fewer chief geeks. this bill needs to do more about making the real chiefs (the Prez and Secretaries) responsible and accountable for making government operations modern...not just consolidating purchase of the latest technology fads.

Hello ladies,
My wife let her membership lapse a few years ago, so I'm posting on her behalf.
Her gear is getting old, and no longer fits, as she's much more svelte now than when she purchased it.
Online searches for "women's riding gear" seems to turn up mostly leather halter tops and chaps.
Could the group please make some suggestions as to what is now available, and where you've found that has a good selection to choose from? She's mostly interested in textile gear.

Flying the Friendly Skies – With the Power of the Sun
Another milestone for solar-charged travel was eclipsed last week when the solar-powered plane "Solar Impulse" landed in Morocco on June 5, 2012.
The plane took off from Madrid and landed safely in Morocco after an amazing 19-hour flight over the Straight of Gibraltar.
The plane required 12,000 solar cells to stay aloft at its cruising speed of 44 MPH. While its airspeed is nearly 10 times slower than most traditional commercial aircraft, the plane continues to prove its advanced technological ability.
Morocco was a fitting, and likely symbolic, destination as the kingdom is in the process of building a vast network of solar and wind farms which will provide 15% of Europe's electricity supply by the year 2050.
This is the second major milestone in solar-powered travel over the past several months. In May 2012, the Tûranor PlanetSolar–a catamaran that runs solely on solar energy – found safe harbor in Monaco after a 32,000 mile journey around the world.

Funny, every can of peeled ground i opened was thicker then the two cans of crushed ive used so far.I was thinking instead of using water to thin it out, what about putting vegetables in a blender and squeezing out the juice like onions,celery,carrots, or green peppers.
Fe,That sounds really good!Thanks for telling me of your experience with peeled ground tomatoes.I have only used one can.It did pool some water on one of the pies I made with it.Im trying to think back,but I believe it was not as bad as the crushed.I had alot of water pooling in the middle with the crushed not drained.That was yucky.I will drain and weigh the water for the peeled ground,to compare to the crushed,before I use it.That said,I really enjoy using the classico.If they add a bit more water than other products,that is OK,it can easily be simmered for a pasta sauce as well.I know its not intended to be for pizza alone,so draining a can of some water is no big deal to do to make a pizza sauce.
I was in Walmart today and picked up a can of the Classico crushed tomatoes (the first time they've been available). I will compare them to a can of 6 in 1's on my next pizza night. Fingers crossed they will be as good, I can only get 6 in 1's through mail order. As a little extra for all you tomato testers, I have also found that Scalfani, Pastosa, and Pastene are all excellent crushed tomatoes. You won't be disappointed with any of these.
Norma My local Walmart carries both the Classico crushed tomatoes and the peeled ground tomatoes. I have tried both and found the peeled ground tomatoes to be a bit thicker and (in my opinion) a bit tastier. Same price as you $1.58 per can. I can't find anything negative about them. Great flavor, Great price, easily acquired.
finfan,Thanks for telling posting that your local Walmart carries both the Classico crushed tomatoes and the peeled ground tomatoes. I didnt go to Walmart today, but my one daughter did. I just told her if they now stock the Classico crushed tomatoes to pick me up two cans to try. The Walmart she went to is a Super Walmart store. When I find time, I sure will see if they also stock the Classico peeled ground tomatoes. Thanks for posting that the Classico peeled ground tomatoes are a bit thicker and a bit tastier. Norma
Norma,If you see my post of #24 again,I noted the peeled ground tomatoes are much thicker.I like these alot better than the crushed version,mainly because of the crushed having a bit more water.Let us know what you experiments show.

I hope the City is listening; over 400 people signed a petition against this project, 80 or more attended the Planning Commission Meeting 100% Residential opposition. Let's kick the Specific Plan back to the City Council or repeal it.

The proposed project fully conforms with the existing zoning established by the council after the opportunity for full input by the citizens.To deny Stanford the right to build in conformance withe the current zoning would be a very expensive 'Taking'.
All of the alternatives proposed by the opponents involve adding cars to ECR. So obviously the only answer for the opponents is to leave these parcels empty. The only way to do that would be to pay Stanford market rate rents for the property - how much would that cost each MP resident?

We have a right to dictate the kind of city we want to have, and should not be expected to abdicate that responsibility to Stanford. Residents of other cities really have no say in the matter.

"We have a right to dictate the kind of city we want to have, "
Absolutely and to that end you elected city council members to represent your interests and you participated, or choose not to participate, in the public meetings that led up to the current adopted zoning.
400 people signing a petition, a very small percentage of MP residents, does not and cannot change either the council membership or the approved zoning ordinance.

To Our City, and the others whom have signed the petition. This won't be a popular post, and I have purposely abstained from commenting up til now because I, like Peter C. am not a resident of MP. However, I work(which means I spend a majority of my waking hours) here in MP and I, too, endure the MESS that ECR is during peak hours. I get it! However, at this point I am compelled to state some opinions-solely in the spirit of offering what I think is sound advice. First, both of Peter's posts above are spot on, and those wanting to affect some modification to this project, short of thinking they can deny it, should really take his comments as being constructive advice. To deny approval of this project for reasons beyond VALID architectural control,is inviting litigation that would be expensive to defend and highly likely fruitless. Second, separate the issue of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" in terms of how the zoning got approved; it is now the legal parameters that the property owner has to follow, and this project, like it or not, conforms. Notice I said property owner; so third, forget that its Stanford, or that the developer is a big time player, ALL property owners have legal rights, please remember that-a court would. Fourth, and finally, and echoing Peter's last point, 400 people is roughly 0.0112% of the population of MP-0.0112% of the population does not, in my opinion anyway, "have the right to dictate the kind of city" any community wants to have.

Peter and WhoR are absolutely correct. It's very unfortunate that the city got nothing in writing from Stanford instead relying on pie in the sky promisses. Yes, it's bait and switch, but our city set it up so it could happen and Stanford is famous for shoving their problems into our city.
We're stuck with this abomination and all its attendent problems. If the city allows a few hundred people to get this project stoped you can forget having any other developers come in and develop the vacant car lots on El Camino. Or anywhere else for that matter. Why would they? So they can spends hundreds of thousands of dollars developing plans and jumping though city hoops just to have the rules get changed on them after the fact? Next life. Developers are not that stupid. You can't change the rules after you've agreed to them.
We can only hope to mitigate this mess not prevent it. Planning should pay close attention to the look of the architecture (it's the only thing they can look at) and make sure it is in keeping with the rest of the city.

Why not, as WhoRUpeople and Menlo Voter suggest, devote energy into making this a great project. Lot's of creative win-win things could be done such as encouraging people who work in the new complex to live there, ensuring the the free Stanford provide Marguerite Web Link shuttle serves the complex, good pedestrian and bike access etc.
Beating Stanford over the head won't accomplish anything - they HAVE the development rights.
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park
on Feb 1, 2013 at 7:10 pm
We are NOT stuck with this project! Stanford has no vested rights at this time. The project has not been approved.
The project has to pass both Architectural Control and an environmental review. The environmental review cannot possibly conclude that the Specific Plan EIR adequately studied and mitigated the negative impacts of this project. Thus, those with discretionary review in Menlo Park (Planning Commission, and Council on appeal) can reject it.
It will take courage for the Council and Commission to do the right thing, but it is quite telling that a number of those in both of those bodies did not expect the Specific Plan to result in a project like this. They should fix the rules so projects will come forward that the community wants and expects. This project isn't it!

"Stanford has no vested rights at this time"
Wrong. Every property owner has the vested right to develop their property in accordance with the existing zoning of that property. To refuse them this right is called 'down-zoning' and the courts have consistently held that that is an illegal 'taking' of property.
The architectural review can request changes in the external visual appearance of the project but they cannot require that the size of the project be reduced.
An EIR 'requires' nothing; it is simply a statement regarding the impacts of any proposed project. If any of those impacts are deemed as significant then the city and the property owner will negotiate appropriate mitigation - which cannot, by law, require that the scope of the project be reduced below that which is permitted by the zoning ordinance.
Stomping your feet trying to stop this project will only hurt your feet - start focussing on developing win-win improvements and mitigations.

DENVER — A mother shot and killed two of her young children and critically wounded another before taking her own life in a Denver home, police said Thursday.
The surviving child, Isabel Perez, was hospitalized in critical condition in a deep coma, said Dr. Claudia Kunrath of Denver Health.
Authorities didn't immediately release the names of the other victims.
Relatives have said the woman quarreled Tuesday night with her husband, who left their home to cool off and found the bodies when he returned early Wednesday.
"Me being the brother of the person who caused this tragedy, I wish I can say or express in words a 'sorry.' But what's done is done," the children's uncle Tony Nunez said at a news conference.
Nunez didn't take questions and said his focus is on prayers for his niece. He thanked community members who have offered support.
Police said no arrests have been made, and they weren't searching for any suspects.
The house where the bodies were found is in an industrial area near the National Western Stock Show complex.

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. - For the first time, Channel 4 heard from the family of the man accused of shooting and killing his ex-wife last week in Oakleaf.
Clay County Deputies said LaShawna Criswell-Seward was gunned down while moving things out of her home, just a few days after her marriage had officially ended.
Adrian Seward was arrested and charged with second-degree murder for the crime.
Channel 4 spoke exclusively with Seward's sister Friday night, saying she's still devastated over the crime.
"It's hard to deal with this because I didn't know that something was wrong to lead to this," said Rhonda Seward. "I love LaShawna. She was like a sister to me."
Rhonda said the couple never had any major issues that she knew of during their marriage. Even when the couple was going through a divorce, Rhonda said she and Criswell were still very close.
LaShawna's body was found shot to death on her neighbor's doorstep last week. After nearly three days on the run, Seward was arrested at a Jacksonville hotel. Seward and her son went to visit Adrian in jail this week.
"He doesn't really know what went on himself and how everything that was so perfect and normal could turn so tragic," said Seward. "He's not saying he did not do it, so with that I am almost certain he did."
The couple didn't have any children together, but LaShawna leaves behind a 6-year-old daughter. LaShawna Criswell-Seward will be laid to rest Saturday in Pittsburgh.

An Ocala Police Department officer resigned Thursday after an Internal Affairs investigation conducted by the agency found he had violated three department rules, according to OPD officials.
An Ocala police officer has resigned after being accused of harassing a female nurse while working an off-duty security detail at Ocala Regional Medical Center.
The woman, whose name was not provided, said that on two occasions this year Officer Michael Phillips followed her, made sexual innuendos and touched her.
Phillips, 41, denied the accusations. Nevertheless, an Internal Affairs investigation found he had violated department rules regarding harassment, conduct unbecoming an officer and unsatisfactory actions by an officer.
The woman said the harassment happened on March 21 and May 25. She reported the problems to her supervisor.
She said Phillips frequently followed her around while she was on duty and at times stood very close to her. On several occasions, the woman said, he attempted to talk with her, although she told him numerous times to leave her alone.
Investigators said Phillips' behavior was witnessed by co-workers and even the woman's boyfriend.
Phillips said he made small talk with the staff, so it might have appeared he was following her, according to the Internal Affairs report.
As for the conduct unbecoming charge: The woman said that, in an effort to get away from Phillips, she took a laptop into the trauma room, only to find him already in there.
Another employee confirmed the woman's account.
Investigators said Phillips denied that accusation as well, saying he had no reason to go in the trauma room.
The report alleges that Phillips' behavior affected the woman's job performance and that a supervisor had to be called. Phillips was relieved of his post and someone on normal patrol duty was sent to ORMC.
In his resignation letter, Phillips thanked the chief for the opportunities he had received working for the agency and said it was with deep regret that he had to resign.
Phillips had been with the department since December 2008, according to personnel records. His annual salary was $34,980.03.
He declined comment to the Star-Banner.
Phillips did not have any prior disciplinary actions against him and had one commendation for helping a woman in distress when a relative died in October 2011.

Green Day and producers have gotten the green light from HBO to mount the American Idiot Broadway musical as a film. The journey from stage to screen has been in the works since 2011, when Tom Hanks was reportedly circling the project as a producer. In 2013, Rolin Jones completed a script for a film adaptation, which has yet to begin production. Now, the project is finally moving forward, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told NME.

Armstrong will likely star in the show as the character, Billy, the role he portrayed on Broadway. "That's the plan right now, yeah," he said. "We've got a green light from HBO, and the script is currently going through a couple of rewrites here and there, so I'm not sure when exactly we're going to start shooting, but it's definitely all systems go at the moment."
Here's the Broadway cast performing some of the musical at the 2010 Tony Awards:

For The Courier
The Russellville School District has its priorities straight. By offering 12 Advanced Placement courses annually, Russellville High School students can get a jump-start on a college career before receiving a diploma.
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program comprises college-level courses that give students the opportunity to earn college credits while fulfilling high school requirements.
AP Human Geography instructor Paul Gray expanded on the program.
"The AP program gives students a chance to be challenged by rigorous coursework. AP classes get students to think critically and analytically about new information. Students may also look at information they already know in new ways."
Students who remain in the course for the entire year benefit in high school from a weighted grade scale that adds 10 percentage points for the AP course to their final grades to compensate for the difficult coursework.
In addition to the weighted grade scale, students benefit in high school by not having to pay for a college textbook or tuition.
"Many of these texts would cost the student over $100 for one book," Gray said.
Following two semesters in an AP class, the state will pay $82 to supply a student with the AP Exam to ultimately determine if the student deserves college credit. Students not enrolled in a respective AP class may opt to pay the $82 fee to take the exam, even if the student did not take the course.
Most exams contain an essay or problem-solving section in addition to a multiple-choice section and are scored on a five-point scale, five being the highest score.
For the multiple-choice section of the exam, the test is sent through a computer to be graded. As for the free response section, faculty consultant groups from around the country evaluate the content.
More than 90 percent of colleges in the United States and 19 universities in other countries welcome AP Exam scores, and the majority of those schools accept a "3" for college credit, but more selective schools require a "4" or higher.
Several students are taking advantage of the program by enrolling in multiple AP courses in one year. By doing this, they can be exempt from more introductory courses once they pursue a higher education.
"A student committed to taking AP courses throughout high school could possibly qualify for 18 or more college hours by the time they graduate high school," Gray said.
"That is equal to over a semester of college. More important is that the AP student gains the experience needed to think, study, write and perform like they should when they go to college. Too many students get to college and have to learn how to think critically and analytically. An AP student has been doing that for a few years by the time they are a freshman."
Gray said Russellville High School has taught AP courses for at least 25 years, but it has added several courses in the last seven years, including Human Geography and Environmental Science.
"We are currently considering two new AP offerings in the Social Sciences & Humanities Department," Gray said.
It is apparent the Russellville School Board is satisfied with the AP results from the high school.
As the school continues to add more classes to the program, the students continue to score higher than most schools in the state, and in some cases, the country.
During last year's testing, Russellville's students scored a higher percentage of "3" or better in nine out of the 11 exams on a state level and six out of 11 on a national level.
Looking at the statistics of the AP Exams, RHS especially stands out in its English and social science areas.
In results from the fall 2006 semester, 72 percent of Russellville students that took the English Language exam recorded a "3" or higher, while the state percentage was at 24 and national 51.
For Human Geography, the most popular AP course at RHS, 83 percent of the students made a "3" or higher, which topped the state's 55 percent and national's 58 percent.
Three of the social science teachers that instruct AP courses Amber Hodges, Patty Grimes and Gray serve as readers for in their respective AP courses and have recorded record-high exam scores following their exam reading experiences.
As RHS expands on its AP Program with new courses in different fields, Russellville students will continue to benefit from the college-level courses and will be more prepared for what is to come in their higher education careers.

Transfer News: Fiorentina interested in Manchester United midfielder Anderson
Fiorentina's sporting director Daniele Prade has confirmed the club's interest in Manchester United midfielder Anderson.
By Simone Bargellini & Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 12/01/14 3:57pm
Reports earlier on Sunday suggested that United manager David Moyes is ready to let Anderson move on as part of his rebuilding plans at Old Trafford.
Anderson has started only two Premier League games this season and has scored just nine goals in over 170 appearances since joining United from Porto in 2007.
The Brazilian is rumoured to be wanted on loan, with a view to a permanent deal, by Fiorentina and Prade acknowledged the 25-year-old is a player the club are considering.
Prade told Sky Sport Italia: "Anderson is a player who Fiorentina likes and is following, but this certainly applies to many other players."
A striker is also on the agenda for Fiorentina, who drew 0-0 at Torino on Sunday and have recently lost former United youngster Giuseppe Rossi to injury.
"Fiorentina are looking a bit, but with very specific requirements," added Prade. "We do not buy just to buy, however, because there is positive feedback from what's on the pitch and the group is happy.
"If the right opportunity comes, we will seize the moment. But it is useless to talk about an individual name as we have many targets, and many of these have not come out."
Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella also confirmed that a striker is the priority during the January transfer window.
Montella said: "It is evident we have been unlucky with Rossi's injury, as there aren't many great strikers on the market. Who is the perfect forward for our style of football? The one who guarantees goals.
"The ideas of the club on the market are very clear, we were unlucky with the attackers but we planned purchases in other roles. Anderson is a strong player but I don't know if he will come."

Full Show Summary
The series Charmed aired on The WB from 1998 to 2006, eight seasons full of witchcraft, demons, love, and loss for the 3 sisters involved. The show centers on 3 sisters who discover that they are descended from a long line of Halliwell witches. They then discover that together they are "The Charmed Ones," destined to be the most powerful witches in the world. Each sister has a magical gift that she is supposed to use to fight demons and the evil in the world. The show follows each girl as she learns how to control her powers; learns the meaning behind the Wiccan beliefs that their family has practiced for centuries, and faces the everyday triumphs and heartbreaks of being a young single woman and a powerful witch. The three sister's Phoebe, Piper, and Prue Halliwell haven't always gotten along. When they are drawn back to their ancestral home, Phoebe goes up into the attic and in the process unleashes the powers that each girl is supposed to inherit. Phoebe has the power of telling the future, Prue has the power to move things with her mind and Piper has the ability to stop time. Each girl's powers grow as the season's progress and at some point one or all of the girls are tempted to quit being "The Charmed Ones." However, knowing now the evil that is out there, in the form of demons, warlocks, and even the source of all evil, every one of them comes back to the Halliwell manor to keep fighting for the good in the world. Charmed is one of the best and most popular shows that The WB has ever aired and many viewers were sad to see it end. From the heartbreaks of being a witch and having to keep secrets from the men in their lives, to telling the men they loved their secrets and being accepted or rebuffed because of them, the sisters always stood strong and saved the world by relying on "The Power Of Three."
Last Episode, 21 May 2006: Season 8, Episode 22: Forever CharmedReeling from the deaths of their respective sisters, Piper, Billie and a returned Leo enlist Coop's help to go back in time and prevent all the misguided bloodshed. This forces Billie to realize just what her sister had truly become. The future versions of Chris and Wyatt also make a helpful appearance.

Council opens exhibits for young readers, and second-act creatives
The Greater Denton Arts Council recently opened exhibitions in the Meadows and Gough galleries at the Center for the Visual Arts.
The solo show "Blissful Blues and Pointillism Purples: Susan Mapes Kemper" will be in the Gough Gallery through Dec. 28.
Kemper looks to her surroundings for inspiration, interpreting them in aggressive colors and straightforward renderings. Her muses are plants, animals and the stuff of domestic life.
The artist leans toward humor, as in her painting Hiding From Bath Time. A worried dog sits stock-still beneath a shrub of fearless color.
Kemper made her living as a science teacher. It was only after retirement that she took up the brush and began making images in a semi-pointillist style — meaning she uses dots of color to build representational images.
"Like most folk artists, I am not a professionally trained artist, and have developed this style because I like to use texture and bright colors," Kemper said.
In the Meadows Gallery, the council presents "All The World's a Stage: Anita Lobel."
Lobel is well known as a children's book illustrator, with credits for Alison's Zinnia,Away From Home and three works inspired by her cat, Nini. It was with her childhood memoir, No Pretty Pictures: A Child of War, that Lobel earned a spot among the six finalists for the National Book Award.
This exhibit, organized by the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature in Abilene, will be in the gallery through Jan. 18.
Gallery hours are 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is free.
The arts center, located at 400 E. Hickory St., will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day holidays.

BERLIN- Decatur's varsity softball team ran into a buzz saw on Monday, falling to visiting Fallston, 2-1, in a tight, well-pitched game to bow out of the state Class 3A East region playoffs.
Decatur entered the tournament as the number-two seed and a first-round bye after compiling an impressive 13-4 mark in the regular season. Fallston, meanwhile, came in as the 10th-seeded team in the field, but beat North Harford in its opening round game to earn a trip to the Eastern Shore to face the Seahawks on Monday.
The Decatur hitters could get nothing going against Fallston pitcher Val Strawbridge, who was dominating all day. Seahawk starter Maddie Justice was equally impressive throughout the contest, allowing just two runs on four hits while striking out seven. In the end, Fallston scratched out just enough offense to beat Decatur and advance.
Fallston got one run in the second on a solo homer and added another in the fourth to extend the lead to 2-0. The score remained 2-0 until the bottom of the seventh when Decatur's Shae Nottingham led off the Seahawks' final at bat with a solo home run to deep center. For a moment, it looked like the Fallston centerfielder caught the deep drive, but the ball bounced out of her glove and the momentum carried the ball and player over the fence for a home run. However, Strawbridge hunkered down and struck out the next three Seahawks in order to preserve the 2-1 win.

Hey guys, just an airflow question as all my research isn't turning up anything definitive.
My rig is in an Antec 1100 using a Corsair H-80 for cooling. The corsair manual recommends i use the back upper fan mount (where Antec recommends an exhaust fan) and mount the fans push pull as an intake. This would leave me with 9 120mm intake fans (four bottom front around HDD cage, two on right plexiglass window, one on MoBo side, and the two on the H80) and only the 200mm top mounted fan as an exhaust.
Would you:
Follow Antec's suggestion and make that H80 push-pull as an exhaust fan
Follow Corsair's suggestion and make that H80 push-pull as an intake and leave the other fans as intake as well
Follow Corsair's suggestion, but maybe switch the mobo upper intake into an exhaust fan?
Maybe i should have made a poll, eh? Regardless, some suggestions would be welcome i know the pros and cons of positive vs negative pressure and live in a very dusty environment for the record. Currently I'm leaning towards option 3 myself as the mobo intake fan is the next highest and would help the hot air get out faster. Any suggestions or advice would be welcome! Thanks in advance.

SAN ANTONIO -- Thursday's practice session for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl saw players in more of a rhythm on offense, but it also saw defensive players showing their skills. If Thursday is any indication, Saturday's contest could be a low-scoring affair.

Hi Norma,My bottom crust was indeed very crunchy and the dough reminded me of eating a Jets pizza. I live in Michigan and Jets deep dish is actually my favorite pizza. In my estimation, my attempt was a touch overcooked, but I recently moved, and am still tweaking cook times for my oven I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I used the Deep-Dish Dough Calculation Tool and set the "how far up the sides of the pan will the dough go" setting to 1". I noticed you used the expanded dough calculation tool. Everything else in my attempt was the same. I'm new here, but would love to contribute to anything needed to clone Jet's pizza, in particular, I'm interested in figuring out how to make a "jet fuel" clone
My attempt after this i reduced the "how far up the sides" from 1.25 to 1.00
Thanks Peter!I had assumed that the crusty cheese at the edges of a Jet's pizza were the same as Buddy's and Shield's, but I haven't had Buddy's or Shield's in so long... they may be taking extra steps to pile cheese at the edges while Jet's just extends the cheese to the edge without attempting to pile it up.I got my blue steel pans (at least blue in the order name - there is no blue color but I think blue probably refers to a process of rust resistance), washed them in warm soapy water, then dried them in the oven.While I was drying them by hand before placing them in the oven, I noticed that I was still getting gray "smudges" on my paper towel. Should I be concerned about this? I was planning on seasoning the outside of the pans as recommended elsewhere on the site, although I fail to see any harm in seasoning the inside of the pan too... even if it will season itself over time.
GFS indicate they do not handle Grande.
i feel like bumping this thread, for the past year(s)+ I've played around with the amount of corn oil i use, bake times, temperatures, and can never quite replicate the crunch that a jet's pizza provides. short of getting a temp job there, i'm throwing in the towel

Who's Who at Oriole Park (and in this blog)

So I figure instead of each time I write a blog entry having
to explain who each individual person is, I would create an overall guide to
the characters of Oriole Park. Now yes,
there are very often others who join in the fun and will not be on this list,
so they will be referenced separately in the entries, but unless otherwise
noted per entry, the names can be found and explained here.
I will update this list whenever necessary, adding the faces
to names after they appear in multiple entries and I'm most likely annoyed with
having to explain who they are each and every time.
So here goes.
First picture here tells a lot:
1. Zevi – He's mentioned a lot. He follows me around as I rule the baseball
world. He enjoys stirrups and Hawk
Harrelson, and I think those are the two things that we have in common.
2. Brittany – Zevi and I met her a few
years back (I think) by the bullpen, where she has season tickets along the
wall there. She likes horses, the
Beatles, now hockey, and a bunch of other stuff. Nobody really ever knows what she's talking
3. Ronnie – That's Ronnie Deck. He's the Oriole bullpen catcher. Beast.
4. Donna – Otherwise known to Oriole Park
as "stretching lady." If a player has a
good stretch, it's a happy day for her.
5. Amanda – Another bullpen lover. Keeps lists of… well… everything.
6. I have no
idea. Just some random Oriole in the
background. Can't tell who, though.
Here's another one of the group with Adam Jones:
In that picture, see the guy peeking his head out in the
That's Matt.
Matt is a resident Orioles fans now for a bajillion
years. Besides roaming all Baltimore
thrift stores finding the best deals ever (including a $75 wheelchair), Matt
also is really, really good at the "guess the year" thing between innings on
the jumbotron.
Then we have Romeo:
Romeo is the definition of a superfan. If you ever spot his awesome helmet, you probably also saw some really well made posters and banners and apparel to go with it. Romeo gets the crowd into the game, has a ton of fun with it, and is what you would call a true fan.
This is Tim and Ben.
Tim on the left, Ben on the right.
Zevi and I met them last year as they have joined the scene at Camden
Yards as resident ballhawks. Ben mocks
Tim constantly. Tim enjoys writing like
me, as he also contributes to Orioles-Nation. They do some crazy stuff.
Okay, that's the basics.
I'll add more later. There are a
whole lot more, so if you're not on here just yet… well, you will be. I pwomise.
