Evan Turner has sore right knee, isn't expected to miss time on upcoming roadtrip
|(Associated Press)
76ers swingman Evan Turner is suffering from right knee soreness.
Turner, who sustained the knee pain in Saturday's 116-106 loss at Milwaukee, "did pull up lame today," coach Brett Brown said. The fourth-year man was on the court briefly Sunday, as the team went through a light practice that largely involved stretching and recovery conditioning following games on back-to-back nights.
Brown said Turner would be a game-time decision if the Sixers had a game in the near future. Given that the Sixers (8-20) don't play again until Saturday in Phoenix, Brown sounded optimistic that Turner shouldn't miss any time.
"He has a sore knee. It's nothing to be concerned about," Brown said. "He played a lot of minutes the night before in a tough win (Friday in overtime against Brooklyn). He had a great game."
Turner, the Sixers' leading scorer, is averaging 19.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He's the only player to have appeared in all of the Sixers' 28 games.

Somewhere beneath all the inane clichés that politicians and the media bandy about, there lies a true Franco-American relationship that stems from a deep appreciation and fascination with each other's language, culture and society. This is where we live, below the radar, exploring the mundane, finding pleasure in the details, and sharing our passion for another culture with our students. We are educators, teaching English in Paris and French in Boston. Trained and training at the Sorbonne and Harvard, respectively, we choose here to let our café conversation spill out onto the sidewalk. Others should feel free to eavesdrop or join the conversation through comments.

Post subject: It Might Get Loud: The 10 Loudest Rock Bands of All Time
Gibson Lifestyle Features It Might Get Loud: The 10 Loudest Rock Bands of All Time
Volume can be a musician's friend or foe.
Playing six-string in a straight-up rock or country band with a drummer who hits like a kicking mule, a bassist with severe hearing loss and a keyboard player or rhythm guitarist who turns up to 11 is like shouting in the midst of a tornado – pointless and painful. It's even worse if you're also the singer. On the other hand, if your band is called something like Nihilistic Death By 10,000 Taloned Demons, it's likely a dream come true and you're probably the loudest member.
This story is about groups for whom high-level volume was or is a badge of courage – a scientifically measurable gauge of power and intensity. Any volume measured at more than 85 decibels (dB) is considered dangerous and can potentially cause hearing loss or damage, like the permanent ringing known as tinnitus. For our list of the 10 loudest bands of all time, we're only considering performers whose volume has checked in at an eardrum-rampaging 115 dB and above.
Our list of volume-drunk champions:
The exact dB levels of concerts by these punk-fueled granddaddies of speed and thrash metal – the sonic foundation of groups like Metallica and Napalm Death – is not published, but there are so many anecdotal tales of their outrageous displays of howling volume that they've earned their place on this list in spades and aces. Mötorhead titled their third album Everything Louder Than Everyone Else… 'Nuff said.
The Who
These days The Who don't seem terribly dangerous, with Pete Townshend wielding his Gibson SJ-200 as often as he hefts an electric axe. But in 1976 they earned a place in The Guinness Book of World Records for achieving a measured 126 dB roughly 100 feet from stage at the Valley, a London sports arena, touring behind The Who By Numbers.
According to their manger John Sinclair, Detroit's MC5 were so loud they practiced with their Marshall 4x12 cabinets face-down flat on the ground, with the speakers firing straight into the floor. "Kick Out the Jams" wasn't just a song to this influential pre-punk outfit; it was their manta. Part of that balls-out-all-the-time attitude was raw volume pushed to the maximum. Another part was sheer endurance. When they played at the infamous 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago to protest the war in Vietnam, their set lasted eight hours.
In the early 1980s these Aussie maniacs were hell bent on becoming the world's loudest band, fueled in large part by Angus Young's Gibson SG-powered wall of amps. During the Back in Black tour, the group turned in a series of concerts at a whopping 130 dB. Complaints from promoters, however, moved the group to drop things down a few notches to the mere bone-crunching volume they play at today.
My Bloody Valentine
These modernist art rockers from Dublin use volume as a tool for creating fireworks and swirls within their textural guitar sound. Live, their feedback spikes and eddies of pitch-bent notes create an intoxicating and occasionally disorienting effect which is even more mesmerizing than it is painful to the naked ear. Expect no kindness from a group named after a 1981 Canadian slasher flick that was compelled to cut nine minutes of gore by the Motion Picture Association of America before it could be released the theaters.
Deep Purple
This might sound like urban legend, but The Guinness Book of World Records crowned Deep Purple the world's loudest band after a 1972 concert at London's 3,000-seat Rainbow Theater that rendered three fans unconscious with the intense pressure created by 117 dB of sound in an enclosed space. As Robert Ripley said, "Believe it or not!"
Led Zeppelin
Writer David Krebs made the case in Rolling Stone that Led Zeppelin's live performances of "Whole Lotta Love" were the loudest on stage in 1970. But the year before that, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has already proven Zep's big sound credibility by measuring a performance of "Heartbreaker" at 130 dB.
These metal mongers from New York State are literally the band that broke the record on volume. After they scored Guinness' recognition for the loudest musical performance at 129.5 db in 1984, they claim to have reached or exceeded that level again in 1994, but this time the famed book of records refused to acknowledge that accomplishment. Guinness had stopped including a category for world's loudest band, supposedly because of the dangers of hearing damage caused by record seekers.
How loud must a group be to bring the roof down? For British electronica excessives Leftfield, the answer was an excruciating 137 dB in June 1996 at South London's Brixton Academy, where chunks of plaster and dust began raining on their dance-crazed audience.
Thirty-six-years into their career KISS were still making headlines and defying gravitas. During a 2009 concert in Ottawa the group was reportedly clocked at 136 dB and were forced to turn down after police responded to complaints from neighbors in the area around the sports arena.

New London: "The town worn and dull"
Allegra di Bonaventura begins a chapter of her book, "For Adam's Sake," with a description of New London in 1700 as a booming coastal town, with several inns, a mill, a new meetinghouse and an increasing number of wharves to serve ships in the growing West Indies trade.
The steady traffic in and out of the port gave New London "some measure of worldliness," di Bonaventura wrote.
But then the hammer falls, and she describes what might, even back then, have been called the curse of New London, one the city often seems to be still fighting.
"Amid the changes and the hubbub, however, general prosperity seemed to elude the rough-edged little community," she wrote.
"Outsiders deemed the town worn and dull; insiders felt themselves perpetually on the verge of the next big break that never came."
Ouch. Even today, that rings so familiar it hurts.
"For Adam's Sake" is a remarkable book, one to be commended for its careful depiction of life in Colonial New England, even if you are not especially interested in New London.
But it is set in New London, and it is an extraordinary historical account of the city's formative period.
The author is scheduled to discuss the book and answer questions from 2 to 4 p.m. today at the Waterford Public Library. The session is sponsored by Monte Cristo Bookshop of New London, and - note to Christmas shoppers - copies of the book will be available for sale.
The author, assistant dean at the graduate school of Arts & Sciences at Yale University, began work on the book 15 years ago, when she started research on the diary kept by Joshua Hempstead, a widowed shipwright whose English-born father was among New London's first citizens.
Hempstead, whose home still stands today, carefully documented daily life in the Colonial city with fastidious entries in his diary, notations about everything from the corn crop to the weather.
In her research, di Bonaventura noticed the frequent references to a person named Adam.
"At first glance, he might have easily been mistaken for a relative, a neighbor or simply one of the many hired workers Joshua employed during his lifetime," di Bonaventura wrote earlier this year in the Chronicle of Higher Education, about her research.
In fact, Adam was Joshua's slave, whom he purchased in 1727, struggling to keep up with his business and farming and the care of his children after the death of his wife.
The two spent nearly three decades together working alongside each other and sharing the cramped quarters of what we now know as the Hempstead house. Adam was listed in town records as a free man soon after Hempstead died, at the age of 80.
"For Adam's Sake" was named for the Hempstead slave, after di Bonaventura decided to redirect her research to look more closely at this example of New England slavery, so unlike the institutional slavery of the South.
The result is a captivating book, which a reviewer for the Wall Street Journal this year praised as "an astonishing, worms-eye" view of the early Commonwealth.
"Ms. Di Bonaventura has given us an incomparably vivid panorama of Colonial New England Society and as enthralling a portrait of family life there as we are likely to have," Kirk Davis Swinehart wrote in the Journal.
For New London readers, the descriptions of the city are fascinating, even at their least flattering.
"To the pedigreed elite of Boston or New York, even the town's betters appeared as country people and lazy fellows," di Bonaventura wrote. "Within the scruffy little port, the harborside district at Bream Cove where the Hempsteads lived remained a particularly unpolished working neighborhood, its graying buildings weather-worn, its air steeped with pitch from the Coit shipyards and with stink from the Truman tanning yards."
Indeed, everyone must have felt like they were on the verge of the next big break that never came.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

The no-fun brigade at the FDNY took all of Occupy Wall Street's gas generators this morning, leaving them without power or heat as an especially chilly weekend approaches.
According to Mayor Bloomberg, about 30 firefighters swept the park and confiscated six generators and 13 fuel containers because they are fire hazards. They were on the lookout for open fires and stoves, which must sound pretty tempting to protesters camped out in what may be a snowy weekend. The Observer paints a bleak picture of protesters' winter-preparedness. But one protester told the New York Post: "I lived in Alaska and worked on a fishing boat—this is nothing."
We're beginning to feel like our December 10th prediction of the end of the occupation at Zuccotti Park might be a little generous. Maybe fishing dude will prove us wrong and last the winter wrapped up in a dozen sleeping bags.

|Home >> Ask Olympus: Black and White with your point and shoot
How can I shoot in black and white?
Only Olympus DSLRs have an option to shoot in black and white set in the menu in PICTURE MODE > MONOTONE. Olympus point & shoot and ultrazoom cameras can only shoot in color, and then the color image can be copied as a black and white or sepia image later. This is because color cannot be put back into a black and white image, but color can be removed from a color image.
Some of the higher-end models such as the SP-Series have an option in the Playback EDIT menu to make a black and white or sepia copy of a selected image and save it on the memory card. The original color image is unchanged. In the Playback EDIT menu it is the COLOR EDIT option, which gives you the choice of saving a copy as Black and white, Sepia, Saturation (hard) and Saturation (soft).
If your camera does not have the COLOR EDIT menu option, you can convert your images to black and white or sepia in the OLYMPUS Master software that came with your camera.
Select an image in the Browse window. In the Image Edit window click on Edit Palette in the Toolbar. On the right side of the window you will see Monochrome & Sepia as one of the editing options.
The Monochrome option will convert the image to black and white. The slider controls whether you want to contrast to be hard or soft. Click Apply and then to save the converted image click on the Save icon in the Toolbar and use the Save as option.
The Sepia option has a slider that lets you select the tone of the sepia conversion–warm or cold tone. Click Apply and then save the converted image click on the Save icon in the Toolbar and use the Save as option.

Happy McBirthday
To celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Happy Meal in 1994, McDonald's ran a promotion where they offered 15 different vehicles that, once hooked together, would form a "birthday train". They really went all out, licensing a who's-who of favorite kids characters who had been featured in past Happy Meals. Ronald McDonald was featured, of course, but so were Snoopy, Barbie, E.T., the Muppet Babies, Sonic the Hedgehog, the Little Mermaid and others. Bugs and Daffy also got their own vehicle (and a quick cameo at the end of the commercial below). When pushed, Bugs would repeatedly smash Daffy's head between a pair of oversized cymbols. Anyway, here's the commercial for the promotion where Ronald and a bunch of familiar faces prepare to celebrate 15 years of greasy goodness.

Saint Mary
The slaughter in Virginia during the summer of 1862 overwhelmed the South's meager medical resources. Although Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia seemed invincible as it marched into Maryland in September 1862, a ferocious battle at Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17 led to the bloodiest day's fighting of the entire war. The opposing armies had combined losses (killed, wounded and missing) of 23,000 men. Over 10,000 of these unfortunates were Confederates.
While wounds, disease and sickness, not to mention the terrible toll of battle deaths, haunted both sides, the much smaller population of the South made it more difficult for the Confederacy to recover from the enormous battlefield bloodlettings. It was only the willingness of Southern civilians to work and sacrifice for the Confederate cause that allowed the Rebel armies to remain in the field for over four years of war. One of the most prominent of these citizens was Mary Martha Reid of Florida, whose work caring for Confederate wounded in Richmond, Virginia, made her one of the most famous Confederate heroines of the war.
Usually known as "Martha Reid," Mary was born Mary Martha Smith at St. Mary's, Georgia, on September 12, 1812. In 1836, she married Robert Raymond Reid in St. Augustine, Florida. President Martin Van Buren appointed her husband, who was serving as a federal judge in Florida, territorial governor in 1839. Governor Reid presided over the convention that forged Florida's first constitution. He died in 1841 during a yellow fever epidemic in Tallahassee. The Reids's only surviving child, Raymond Jenks Reid, lived to serve as a lieutenant in the Second Florida Infantry, part of the Florida Brigade in Lee's army, during the war. In fact, it was Mary's wish to be near her son that led her to Richmond, where she became involved in the establishment and administration of the Florida Hospital.
As the casualties poured into Richmond during 1861-1862, the municipal government, private entities, and eventually the Confederate government organized hospitals in the city. Individual states also stepped in to provide hospitals for their own wounded soldiers. A result of state pride and medical concern—it was believed hospitalized men would be more comfortable surrounded by comrades from their own units—the state hospitals were popular with the troops. Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Florida were among the states that created hospitals in Richmond.
The Florida Hospital officially opened on September 26, 1862. It was located in the building of the former Globe Hospital on 19th Street in Richmond. Governor John Milton supervised the financing of the hospital from Tallahassee. He appointed Dr. Thomas M. Palmer, former surgeon of the Second Florida Infantry and doctor from Jefferson County, superintendent and recognized Mary Martha Reid as the hospital matron. However, due to the ever-increasing casualties and sickness among the troops, the Confederate government decided to consolidate the number of hospitals in Richmond and focus on larger institutions. The government ended the use of state hospitals in late 1863; however, a small Florida ward continued to exist in the large Howard's Grove hospital into 1865.
Mrs. Reid continued her work for Florida's sick and wounded until the Confederate government fled Richmond on April 2, 1865. During her time in the city, she acquired a reputation as a tireless advocate for Florida's soldiers and devoted herself to their care and the administration of the Florida Hospital. She remained in Richmond despite the fact that her original reason for moving to the Confederate capital, concern for her son, ended in tragedy on May 6, 1864, when Raymond Jenks was killed in the Battle of the Wilderness.
Mary Martha Reid died in Fernandina, Florida, on June 24, 1894. In 1866, only a year after the war's end, the Florida legislature recognized her sacrifices by providing her with an annual pension of six hundred dollars for life. She also became one of the most prominent female symbols of the "Lost Cause." Florida's first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy took Mary's name as their own in 1897, becoming the "Martha Reid Chapter" that year.
For further reading on the Florida Hospital and the role of Florida women in the Civil War see David Coles, "Richmond, the Confederate Hospital City," in Virginia at War 1862, William C. Davis and James I Robertson Jr. editors (University Press of Kentucky, 2007) and Tracy J. Revels, Grander in Her Daughters: Florida's Women During the Civil War (University of South Carolina Press, 2004).

Ah bread... Really, if there is one thing that I miss in this country, it's probably good bread. Something that is intrinsically simple and can be found in every corner in other countries (France, Italy, Spain, Greece...) here is a "gourmet" item, only to be found in posh neighbourhood delicatessens, artisanal bakeries in just a few obscure areas of the capital, and, best-case-scenario, some food markets. All of the above of course sell bread at a cost that would make any French/Italian/Spanish/Greek person laugh and quickly run away... £5 for a focaccia? £4.50 for a ciabatta? £4 for a baguette? Come on, it's just flour, water and yeast, of which 3 ingredients one comes for free through the tap!
Facing this frustration of spongy/squishy/bouncy/never-hardening madness, or otherwise called "supermarket Chorleywood process rubbish bread", all these years I had tried many times to make bread at home, with not so great results. I know it's easy, and I know it's simple, but the manual labour of kneading quite a few times, plus all the waiting for it to rise annoyed me, and the end result was nothing like the 1 Euro loaf you can get in any corner bakery in Greece. Plus if you think of it logically, how much money do you charge for your time? If you're getting paid £6 an hour in your normal job, and you take 3 hours to make bread, that means your loaf costs an overabundant £24, which makes it actually cheaper and easier for you to take the train to E5 bakehouse and get some great loaves from there!
Hence, the breadmaker comes into the picture! I had never been sure about these things, but when a friend told me that it was great waking up to the smell of freshly-baked bread, I thought I'd go for one. I slowly brainwashed the other half (also a REAL bread lover) over some time, so I finally got one as a nameday present last year! I got the one that was rated as the best at the time (and probably was the most expensive one as well), and I have to say that I love how it makes life easier. Sort of. There are two aspects of it, at least that I have tried, and I'll tell you the results. First, you can make bread the VERY easy way, which is throw all the ingredients in the machine, programme it, and then it does everything on its own, and you wake up in the morning with the aforementioned nice smell. The bread made this way is better definitely than the supermarket ones, but due to the breadmaker bin shape it always will be a squareish loaf, with soft crust. That's ok for sandwiches that are going to be toasted, but if you're looking for something different and crusty, there's the other option.
Dough. Same as before, you throw everything in, machine does everything, but DOES NOT BAKE. So it takes less time, and when done you can shape the dough yourself, let it rise once in a warmish place (I use the oven at 40°C as in this country of constant winter no place in my house is ever warmish enough!), knead a bit, shape, let rise again and then bake. Yes, it's still gonna take up some time off your life, but the main "getting sticky and messy, and kneading 15 minutes till you think a personal trainer would be giving you the puppy-treatment in comparison" thing is gone!
I have up to now made extremely successful sweet breads of various provenances (Greek tsoureki, Mexican Pan de muerto, English hot cross buns, Italian panettone, Mexican Rosca de Reyes) as well as this nice focaccia. It's never going to be the focaccia you will buy from an Italian bakery, but it's a pretty good substitute, and the best solution I've managed to find in order to not have to change 2 buses and 3 tubes from where I live (or just 1 train + 1 airplane!) to get a decent one...
Source: Mix of online recipes along with the Panasonic breadmaker recipe booklet
For the dough:
- 2½ cups strong white bread flour (plus a little more for kneading)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1½ tsp dried yeast
For topping:
- A handful of fresh or dried rosemary leaves
- A few pinches of rock sea salt
- A drizzle of olive oil
Put all the dough ingredients in the order they are mentioned in the breadmaker bin and choose the standard dough programme (mine takes about 45 minutes).
Take out the dough and knead for a bit. Put in a large bowl and cover with a clean towel, then place in an oven at 40°C for an hour (or until doubled).
Take out, roll and pat the dough into a 30cm x 25cm rectangle on a greased baking tray. Make indentations over the dough with your finger, and allow to prove in the 40°C oven for another 30-40 minutes, until doubled.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C for 10 minutes, then check and return to the oven for a couple more minutes if not ready and golden.

So after a little begging and pleading Jon decided that making it was a great option! 🙂
It took two weekends to finish. One weekend to purchase wood, cut pieces and then assemble. Then life got in the way and we lived without the bed upholstered for two weekends and then this past Saturday we finished it.
For this project you will need the following supplies from Home Depot:
*This is for a Queen sized bed.
The headboard is made out of MDF and with the help of a grid you can get the perfect curve. Jon made 6″ x 6″ grid boxes in order to check our curve. The grid is also helpful if you want to tuft your headboard.
First we used paper to create one half of the curve. This is done free hand so you can make it as extreme as you like.
Once you are happy with your curve cut it out with a razor blade. You have just created your template:
Next trace curve with help of template on one half:
Then flip your template over to the other side and trace your template.
Make sure that the distance from the bottom of the template to the top of the mdf is equal on both sides.
To double check the curve with the help of the grid you can measure the points where the curve crosses the grid. This measurement should be equal on both sides.
And slowly cut along the curve:
You may get some rough edges so take out your belt sander and smooth them away.
Now that all of your pieces are cut it's time to put it all together.
Add liquid nails to the edges of the pieces you just created:
Now get your 1″x 10″ x 61 1/2″ boards (These are your head and foot boards) and nail them to your side pieces.
To make sure that your frame is square measure from one corner to the opposite corner and then do the same of the remaining two corners. You will be making an X. If your measurements are identical you are good to go.
Flip your frame upside down and nail one of your 1″x 4″x 60″into the frame to support the head of the bed and then take your additional 1″x 4″ x 60″ board and nail into the foot.
Flip the bed back over and grab your remaining 5/4″ x 4″ x 80″ boards and your 2″ x 4″ x 80″ stud. Lay your 2″ x 4″ x 80″ stud flat and butt a 5/4″ x 4″ x 80″ board to side standing up and nail together. You should have a long U shaped support piece. Flip it over and lay it down the center of your bed. The center of your U shape support should be at 30″. Pictured below in the center:
In order to support your weight you must screw U shaped piece from the head and the foot of the bed. Now you must flip it on it's side and screw your center support into your lowersupports:
We re-used the cross-rails from our original bed, but if needed here is where you would use your 14- 1″x3″x60″ boards. Lay them evenly across the entire length of the bed and secure them with nails.
Voila bed frame and headboard are finished. This took us one weekend, but not the entire two days. While there are a lot of steps it was a pretty easy project.
Go around and wrap and staple:
For the base of the bed we purchased two twin sized mattress pads ($9 a pad) and cut them in half length wise. They don't go completely around so there will be some seams, but under fabric it is not noticeable at all.
Now you need to do the same with the fabric. We purchased 6 yards of neutral linen. We got it at a steal for $4 a yard!
For the base you simply wrap and staple as well You do need to pay a little bit of attention to the corners. We wrapped completely down the side board and around 6″ past the foot board on both sides.
To mount the headboard to the base we used books/magazines to prop it up to the height we wanted and measured to make sure it was equal on both sides.
Use the tape measure to also make sure when you are screwing into place you are going into the base and not your mattress! 🙂
For main support we used a 3″ nut and bolt to secure the headboard on the corners of the frame:
We put our bolts 8″ up from the bottom and 2″ in from the side:
This is what the bolt looks like inside the bed frame:
This is how it will look from the back of the headboard:
Once your sides are bolted into place you can use 1 5/8″ dry wall screws in the center of of the headboard for additional security. Again place all screws below 8″ so that you do not hit your mattress.
Covering the bed in foam and fabric took between 4-5 hours.
Now who is going to follow suit and DIY?
Estimated Cost:
$200 for wood, hardware and legs
$45 for foam
$25 for fabric
Total: $270 vs $1,599.99
Estimate Labor:
12-15 hrs. We split it up into 2 weekends, but it could be finished in one weekend.
***Writing this blog post took longer. It's now almost 2 am and we are finally able to enjoy our bed and get some rest.

Cantor's Defeat Kills Immigration Reform, EPA Proposal Under Fire
- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his primary Tuesday night to Tea Party candidate Dave Brat.
Cook Political Report House analyst David Wasserman says this defeat speaks to the GOP primary electorate's distrust for the Republican leadership's flirtations with immigration reform. If an immigration bill was not already dead in the House, Wasserman says it is now.
Cantor had been considered as the most likely successor to House Speaker John Boehner. Now the Washington Post has reported Cantor plans to step down as Majority Leader by July 31st.
- American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman told the House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment Wednesday that the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to regulate everyday farming practices is not just impractical, it is illegal.
EPA claims farmers would face less regulation under its latest proposal but Stallman says the agency is deliberately misleading the regulated community about the impacts on land use.
The Farm Bureau continues to urge EPA and Congress to ditch the rule. For more information, visit ditchtherule.fb.org.

Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving and so many thoughts flood my mind about this special day. In many ways I believe every day should be Thanksgiving. Most day just waking up and coming to work is a blessing.
Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving and so many thoughts flood my mind about this special day.
In many ways I believe every day should be Thanksgiving. Most day just waking up and coming to work is a blessing.
I'm usually pretty good with words, but sometimes they do fail me. In those times I reflect back on a year that will soon end and peeling back the layer of days I see so many things for which I can give thanks.
I am thankful for the relationship I had with my dad. And that there were no regrets when he passed away earlier this year. I'm thankful for every time we told each other, "I love you," right up until our last conversation less than a week before Dad died.
I'm thankful for the games of catch and watching Tennessee play football Dad and I shared.
I'm thankful for those of you who have prayed for me and encouraged me in what has been, in its own way, the most difficult time of my life.
I'm thank that the seasons move on and memories live on.
I'm thankful for my relationships with coaches and fans in the area and all the fine young men and women I get to cover throughout the year.
I'm thankful for not only the coaches I interact with now at Baker, Crestview and Laurel Hill, but my high school coaches that helped shape my life as well.
Robert Freeman the athletic director at Pace is one of those men. Coach Freeman was my track coach and an assistant football coach at Gulf Breeze 35 or 40 years ago when I was young.
Today I'm thinking about another of my former coaches, Mike Walker. Coach Walker coached the defensive line and linebackers at Gulf Breeze. Sadly, the Wild Man as he was affectionately called, died while still in his mid-30s the day after Thanksgiving in 1983, Nov. 25.
Sometimes, when things in life seem to be pushing in against me, I can hear the Wild Man shouting words of encouragement that meant so much to me as a kid trying to play the game.
I am thankful that Coach Walker loved all of his boys equally from superstar to wishful star. My life remains so much richer for having played for Mike Walker.
It's hard for me not to be thankful for sports.
The competition and being a part of a team that are associated with sports helped shape me as a youth. The games and athletes I've covered as a man have helped feed me. And often the games I watch while sitting in my favorite chair, have helped heal my wounded spirit.
I believe God has richly blessed most of us with an abundance worthy of Thanksgiving.
It has been almost 400 years since the pilgrims first celebrated Thanksgiving. Those brave men and women had endured more hardship and turmoil than most of us in the 21st century will ever face. And at the end of the season of labor they saw the fruits of their labor and celebrated their abundance.
So finally I'm thankful for my labor and the abundance it provides not only physically, but in the blessings I receive in being a part of the local sports community.
Happy Thanksgiving!

President Obama is expected to use executive orders and the bully pulpit in his first days in office to mark a symbolic break from the policies of the past eight years.
In taking the oath of office Tuesday, the 44th president of the United States, the first African-American to lead the country, used that pulpit to rally the citizenry to stand with him, calling for a "new era of responsibility" in the "midst of the crisis." Noting the US is at war and the economy badly weakened, Mr. Obama called on Americans to "seize gladly" the duties before the nation during "this winter of our hardship."
"Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new," he said, as the sun shone and a chilly wind blew across the millions of people packing the Mall before him. "But those values upon which our success depends – hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism – these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths."
Obama will begin his term with aggressive measures to shore up America's stumbling economy, urging Congress to act quickly on what he calls "a bold, aggressive investment and recovery package," his aides say. At the same time, he'll call on banks that took federal bailout money to be more accountable and to start lending money more freely.
The new president will also move on the international front, ordering military leaders to prepare for a speedy withdrawal from Iraq and begin shutting down the detention center holding terror suspects at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. Aides say he will also make clear that working for peace in the Middle East will be a top priority.
"The symbolism of first acts is very important, and President Obama is fully aware of that," says Gordon Smith of the Walker Institute for International and Area Studies at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. "He's signaling he's very much concerned about his foreign-policy agenda as well as the financial crisis that's confronting the United States. And in fact, he's made it clear that addressing the financial crisis is also going to be an international endeavor that's going to require cooperation from the world."
Obama enjoys good will abroad, but by moving fast to close Guantánamo, analysts say, he can solidify that and instill confidence in his foreign-policy credentials.
"Guantánamo ... has become such a symbol of the failed policies of the Bush administration, and it undercuts and undermines our own efforts at stopping terrorism," says Dr. Smith. "It will be important for him to demonstrate to skeptics at home and abroad that he's capable of ... taking bold moves when necessary."
In his inaugural address, Obama affirmed that traditional values are vital to his foreign policy. US military power was founded as much on "sturdy alliances and enduring convictions" as on "missiles and tanks" – and that earlier generations understood as much when they faced down fascism and communism, he said.
"They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please," he said. "Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint."
On the domestic front, Obama called for a shift away from politics as usual, saying "the ground has shifted." "Stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply," he said. "The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small but whether it works – whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified."
In moving quickly on his agenda, Obama is taking lessons from past administrations in a bid to prevent early missteps, say presidential scholars. President Bill Clinton, who made reforming the healthcare system the cornerstone of his election campaign, took almost a year to present a plan to Congress.
During that time, the public lost interest and he lost political capital with his controversial move to allow gays to serve in the military under a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
Obama is expected to make early use of executive orders to lift the ban on federal funds for embryonic stem-cell research and for family planning agencies abroad. He's's also expected to tighten ethics rules for people entering and exiting government.
"All this implies that Obama has been influenced by Clinton's fate," says Bruce Buchanan, a presidential scholar at the University of Texas at Austin. "He's been lining up support as much as possible before the inauguration.... The public's already well-briefed on the economic package."
Obama appears to be modeling his first days after those of President Franklin Roosevelt, who also had an economic crisis to focus his agenda. Like Roosevelt, Obama is exuding confidence even as he prepares the public for the likelihood that the economy could get worse before it gets better.
"It's clear Obama is going to work fast to get credit loosened, some oversight of the banks, and help for people in foreclosure," says political scientist Bert Rockman at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. "The question is how fast he'll be able to get a bill through Congress."
Obama, unlike Roosevelt, has the luxury of a bit more time. FDR was inaugurated March 4, 1933, amid a financial panic. On his first day in office he closed all banks indefinitely, declaring it a "holiday" to give his administration time to quell the panic. With that move, he gained the confidence of Congress, which within 100 days enacted landmark legislation that formed the bedrock of the New Deal.
"The perception now is also that we're in such crisis that we have to move rapidly," says Dr. Buchanan. "Obama is similarly pragmatic, but FDR was more of an experimentalist. He didn't have the kind of overarching theory that Obama does."
Obama will have a less compliant Congress than Roosevelt did. Democratic leaders in both houses have already signaled disagreement with parts of Obama's stimulus proposal, the tax cuts in particular. But they and others say they hope to get a bill passed within six weeks.
"The initial program is so potentially wise in that it's a down payment on all the things we should care about – education, energy, environment, and healthcare – that he's folded into that stimulus package by broadening the definition of infrastructure," says Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar at the Brookings Institution. Moving from legislative action to economic recovery is a process he likens to building a house. "The framework is going to go up very quickly, but the plumbing and the heating and everything else that it takes to build a house take forever. People are going to have to be patient."
The new administration also needs to consider how much of Obama's larger agenda, like healthcare reform, to include in the new president's first proposals. Problems can arise from overreaching, says Mr. Hess. "The more things you try to weave into a solution, the more politically complicated it gets and the more issues it raises," he says.

Justices face Ariz. registration law
The Supreme Court took up its second voting rights case in less than a month on Monday, with the justices appearing narrowly divided on whether the National Voter Registration Act, or "Motor Voter" bill, trumps state registration requirements.
At issue in the case is Arizona's Proposition 200, which requires proof of citizenship, and whether or not the federal registration form under the NVRA preempts Arizona's more stringent requirements.
Story Continued Below
The liberal justices criticized Arizona's eligibility requirements as overly restrictive and in direct conflict with the federal voter registration form, which requires people to attest to their citizenship via signature but does not require documentation of citizenship.
Some of the Court's conservative judges, however, parsed the wording of the NVRA and suggested the states do, in fact, have the ability to add requirements such as proof of citizenship.
Congress passed the NVRA in 1993 to encourage more people to register to vote. The law allows for one uniform voter registration form across the country and also requires states to allow mail-in registrations.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Arizona last spring, with the three-judge panel saying the NVRA superseded state-level requirements.
Monday's arguments in the NVRA case, known as Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, came less than a month after the Court heard Shelby County v. Holder, which dealt with the constitutionality of a section of the Voting Rights Act.
In the Shelby County case, conservative justices appeared highly skeptical of the continued need for federal pre-clearance of voting laws in the 16 states where the VRA's Section 5 applies.
Both Monday's voter registration case and the Shelby County case carry major implications for voting legislation across the country. Its rulings will offer great insight into how the High Court views election law and voting rights.
If the Court rules with Arizona, it would tip the balance of election law to the states and away from the federal government — and, as a result, could open the door to more restrictive election law passed within state legislatures.
Arizona Attorney General Thomas Horne, who argued the case for his state, said the federal form's signature requirement is basically just an "honor system" and that it didn't stop non-citizens from registering.
Justice Anthony Scalia seemed to agree with that assessment.
"I suppose if you're willing to violate the voting laws, you're willing to violate the perjury laws," he said.
Justice Elena Kagan questioned whether Arizona violates the NVRA's "accept and use" requirement by adding a more stringent citizenship requirement, since the federal form already calls for just a signature attesting the voter is in fact a U.S. citizen.
Arizona's requirement "essentially creates a new set of requirements and a new form," she said.

I want to strongly support Dan Logue for State Assembly. He is a politician in the old-fashioned sense that some of us?have been around long?enough to remember: He actually works for the good of the local citizens and gets things done.
He intervened effectively in favor of the Bidwell Mansion Association?with the now-disgraced State Parks Department to reinstate the BMA to its deserved status with the mansion.?Also he provided leadership in resolving the vendor contract issues with Bidwell Marina, dear to the hearts of citizens of Oroville.
Whether one is a Democrat, independent or Republican, Logue is clearly the one who has proven his concern for us: you, me, our kids and our neighbors.?He walks arm in arm with the people of Oroville and Chico. Vote for Logue.
— Joe Chiapella, Chico

As we were saying...
I see my last post was dated August 31, 2008. A lot has happened since then, politically speaking.
Here we are, ten days out from yet another presidential election, ten days from the chance to slow the rise of malignant incompetence and mindless, crushing bureacracy. Will we do it?
I'm taking down all the previous posts. I have them archived, but I'm not overly proud of the writing. Maybe I'm a better writer now, or maybe I was never that good, but a new direction is called for. When it will arrive I don't know, but the old entries are dated and they read a little trite to me.Posted by Jeff at 11:52 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0)

I have been reviewing some data in my genealogy database management program of late, because I found a "new cousin". This new cousin had a blog called The Barefoot Genealogist. She also can be found on her YouTube Channel. I have actually had the pleasure of meeting her in person.
In one of her online events, I saw a place name and several surnames that I am very familiar with. I did a blog post on that not too long ago. Re-Read what you have That really talks about what I am doing with my database.
I am re-looking at about 100 Family Group Sheets that I was given by a cousin who has been doing family research for years. In fact my Grandfather's brother's family all have been part of this work. About 15 years ago, we even gathered "to tell stories". My notes reflect that I worked with these Family Group Sheets 13 years ago. Documented everything AND cited my sources.
My major task was to move the source information into the appropriate Evidence Explained format. But because of who the Barefoot Genealogists is, I thought I better get my act together. In doing so, I looked at every Family Group Sheet that I have, but focusing on this specific "line" to make sure I captured everything. I didn't miss much the first time. In fact, I hadn't done too bad of a job. But my genealogy database management program has added many features, I wanted to make sure I had the data entered to take advantage of those features.
Note where notes belong, research notes where they belong, remove timelines as my software can do that more accurately, and really identify the source material that made up the research for these Family Group Sheets.
But then, I came across a NOTE that I must not have read, as it's not in my file, but its on one of the pages with the Family Group Sheets. The note said: 1
"It seems that we had a witch in the family"
In an article (not documented yet) is has terms like "Widow Burt", "old goody Burt", "awld wich" in it. It talks about a complaint against her "for witchcraft". Hmmm. There was no indication that there were any actions taken against her.
But wait, this is in Lynn, Massachusetts and I am working on a line in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Same person, same family ??? What's going on here?
What are Quakers from the Massachusetts Bay Colony doing in Fenwick's Colony?
Looking around a little more in my New Jersey folks are mentions of several other families from Long Island, also within a generation moving "south". So, what is going on? Witches, Quakers, mid-1600's ??
For grins and giggles my daughter did a Google Search for "Quakers In Mass". The hint may be here.
I knew of the Puritans in Massachusetts, and that there were Quakers there as well. In fact I have "The Naked Quaker" by Diane Rapaport (Commonwealth Editions – Carlisle, Massachusetts, 2007) sitting on my bookshelf, in my Must Read section of my library. But it's what I didn't know that the Google Search helped me understand.
They didn't like one another, I guess.
Here are a couple of links:

Ann Austin and Mary Fisher, two Englishwomen, become the first Quakers to immigrate… the ship carrying them lands at Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
To name a few.
Since Salem and Lynn are on or near the water, I guess that some of the Quakers got on boats, traveled south, dropped some off in Rhode Island, maybe picked some passengers up along the way, like on Long Island. Perhaps they heard of Fenwick, in West Jersey and headed in his direction (gotta read more on this).
Something must have taken them to what is Tuckerton, New Jersey. Egg Harbor, Little Egg Harbor and found some of Fenwick's folks in the area. I am finding the connection with Fenwick and this south Jersey area with the West Jersey Quakers. Sounds like what WAS Burlington County, West Jersey was "Quaker Friendly" as compared to Lynn, Mass.
I should mention that I made a comment on the New England Geneablogger Facebook Group about this finding, and within about 1/2 hour, I had 2 new cousins, both of whom I have met. Heather Wilkinson Rojo of Nutfield Genealogy and I are 10th cousin's according to our records.
Heather said "Just in time for Halloween!"
All of this because I "Re-Read What" I have.

Republicans and Democrats prayed for the president and one another at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast, where Rep. Janice Hahn (D-Calif.) laughingly suggested that her friendship with Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) might prove the existence of God, because nothing else could explain it.
Gohmert, who co-chaired the annual event with Hahn, sallied that "it's easy to pray with people who are wrong on the issues when you have a common heart."
In its 62nd year, the breakfast is a D.C. institution, church and state joining hands for a couple of hours at the Washington Hilton, where President Ronald Reagan was shot and the White House Correspondents' Dinner holds its "nerd prom" every spring.
Official Washington is expected to attend, and does; Vice President Biden and Secretary of State John F. Kerry were in the crowd of 3,200 this year, as was President Michel Martelly of Haiti and President Bujar Nishani of Albania. Every American president has done so since Eisenhower, in 1953, told those present, "You can't explain free government in any other terms than religious."
A non-believing president — or even one who prefers private demonstrations of faith — might not be entirely comfortable at the service, in which God is invoked and the politics of religion mostly go unmentioned.
In the beginning were the jokes: "I, by the way, have always found Louie to be unbelievably gracious,'' President Obama said, adding, "I don't watch TV, I've got to admit.''
The crowd itself was on the saucy side; the man on my right in the overflow ballroom, where the morning's speakers appeared up close and in high definition, volunteered that he was struck by how much the White House ages every POTUS and FLOTUS, while the man on my left exclaimed, "What did they do with her eyebrows?"
Even the scrambled eggs and paprika potatoes were roasted from the dais: After Gohmert broke Julia Child's rule — never speak ill of the food you're serving — Hahn reminded him that their guests had paid big bucks for it, and he sighed, "I wish it really was true that you get what you pay for."
But unembarrassed prayers were offered, too, and as the first lady nodded encouragement, Bethany Hamilton, the author of "Soul Surfer," spoke about how losing her arm in a shark attack had given her the chance to help kids with cancer.
The keynote speaker, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, urged those present to end extreme poverty in our lifetime, and he became emotional as he told the story of a woman forced by famine, rather than the Nazis, to make the kind of "Sophie's Choice'' described in William Styron's novel.
At a Somali refugee camp, Shah said, he met a mother who'd been traveling with her two children, carrying them one at a time until it became clear that they would all die unless she put one down: "She looked down at her two children and said a prayer, then she made the excruciating decision to leave one of them behind so she could save the other."
When the president's turn came, he asked God to bless our men and women in uniform and "one colleague of mine who is missing today. A great friend of mine who I came into the Senate with, Senator Tom Coburn,'' who has cancer. "Tom is going through some tough times right now, but I love him dearly, even though we're from different parties. He's a little closer to Louie's political perspective than mine, but he is a good man, and I'm keeping him and his family in my prayers all the time. So just a shout-out to my good friend, Tom Coburn."
Sometimes, when critics say that the president doesn't speak openly about his faith, I feel guilty, because he does, and we just don't quote him."Each time we gather,'' he said at the breakfast, "it's a chance to set aside the rush of our daily lives; to pause with humility before an Almighty God; to seek his grace; and, mindful of our own imperfections, to remember the admonition from the Book of Romans, which is especially fitting for those of us in Washington: 'Do not claim to be wiser than you are.' "
It was God, the president said, who "directed my path to Chicago and my work with churches who were intent on breaking the cycle of poverty in hard-hit communities there. And I'm grateful not only because I was broke and the church fed me, but because it led to everything else. It led me to embrace Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. It led me to Michelle, the love of my life, and it blessed us with two extraordinary daughters. It led me to public service. And the longer I serve, especially in moments of trial or doubt, the more thankful I am of God's guiding hand."
He spoke of the work done by faith-based groups and the inspiration he's drawn from leaders of other faiths, adding that, "I am especially looking forward to returning to the Vatican next month to meet His Holiness, Pope Francis, whose message about caring for the 'least of these' is one that I hope all of us heed.''
He ended with a defense of the religious liberty that some Catholics and other Christians feel that his contraception mandate effectively denies them, though he naturally said nothing about that.
As the faithful filed out of the ballroom, several people said that having the president pray with them meant something. "Most of the people here lean toward a conservative mind-set,'' — himself included, said George Peart, who is in wastewater-treatment equipment sales in Madison, Miss. But, he said, Obama "professes a relationship to Christ, and I love his humanity.''

Kings send Blues to fifth consecutive lossby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- Suddenly, Scottrade Center is becoming a happy haven for visiting teams. The Los Angeles Kings were the latest beneficiaries.
Jeff Carter scored twice, and the Kings won for only the second time in six tries by beating the free-falling St. Louis Blues 4-1 Monday night, the Blues' fourth loss in a row on home ice and fifth in a row (0-4-1).
Jonathan Bernier picked up his first win of the season in only his second start by stopping 21 shots, Davis Drewiske and Jarret Stoll added goals and Slava Voynov collected a pair of assists, as the Kings (4-5-2) felt good about their game coming along despite a gut-wrenching 3-2 loss at Detroit 24 hours earlier, a game in which the game-winner was scored with 4.5 seconds remaining.
"We're on the right direction, that's for sure," Carter said. "I think we thought Detroit was our best overall game.
"We were solid tonight, we did what we had to on the road. It's not easy coming in here and playing these guys -- it's a step in the right direction."
The Blues have lost five in a row for the first time since Jan. 2-12, 2011, when they were also 0-4-1. They've also dropped four in a row at home for the first time since Jan. 23-Feb. 6, 2010, when they were 0-2-2.
Alex Steen had the lone goal for the Blues, who have been outscored 21-8 on this homestand.
The Blues also caught everyone off-guard when Jaroslav Halak, who was listed as the starter for the game, was a late scratch. The team did not immediately announce anything, but reports indicated Halak re-aggravating the groin strain that caused him to miss the last three-plus games in pre-game warm-ups. Halak is 3-0-0 on the season, but it was a struggling Brian Elliott -- who stopped 19 shots -- that played against the Kings.
"This was the homestand from hell," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We lost our goalie, we didn't play as well and now we've got to take this onto the road and we've got to be much more accountable for each other. We don't compete at a high level for 60 minutes and we pay the price because of it.
"[Halak's injury] just happened so quick ... it was after the warm-ups. ... I think everybody was in a little bit of shock. It is what it is. He had three really good days of practice and then I don't know, somewhere in the warm-up, he pulled it again. It isn't good for us right now ... it's not good for the team right now. We're just going to have to learn to battle through it."
Blues captain David Backes was not careful with his choice of words afterwards.
"We've got too many guys out there looking at the stat sheet wondering how many goals and assists, cookies they've got rather than taking a hit to make a play and getting run over so we can get a puck out so that your teammates can have a 3-on-2," Backes said. "Or so you can block a shot or kill a penalty when you really need it so we can stay in a game. We just don't have that desperation, that accountability, that responsibility to each other.
"The talking's done. We've said everything that needs to be said, gone over game plans and talked about strategy and ideology. It's time to put the boots on and go do it or else pack your bags and go home because it's slowly slipping, but there's time left where we can right the ship and play our hockey. When we play our hockey, we love our chances against anyone."
Elliott, who slipped to 3-5-1 on the season with a 3.57 goals-against average and .849 save percentage, said he didn't find out until five minutes before the game that he would be in goal.
"It's a little tough," Elliott said. "I usually always prepare the night before and you know going into the pre-game skate what you're going to be facing.
"It's a little tough, but also again, like I've said when you get thrown into the fire, it's better when you're not thinking about it. Just go in there and play."
Carter converted a 2-on-1 play after Blues defenseman Wade Redden got caught in a bad pinch, redirecting Voynov's centering feed past Elliott 8:31 into the game for the lone first-period goal.
Carter struck again, this time, taking Keaton Ellerby's pass and beating Ian Cole to the front and tucking a backhand through Elliott's pads 3:23 into the second for a 2-0 Kings lead.
"Jeff gives us more speed, Carter's been out best player," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "We've been trying to get him more open ice."
Drewiske netted his first of the season, a power play goal from the slot with 4:38 to play in the period to make it 3-0.
However, the Blues got one back late when Steen wired a one-timer from the right point past Bernier with 42.5 seconds left in the period, the Blues' League-leading 16th power play goal to make it 3-1. It was the only blemish on Bernier's card.
"I felt pretty good for a guy that's been [out] a long time, since I've played an NHL game," Bernier said. "Just trying to stay focused. That's how it's been all year."
Stoll took a pass from Voynov in the slot and one-timed a shot high over Elliott 3:36 into the third period to restore the Kings' three-goal lead, as the Kings are feeling like they've regained some swagger.
"It's no secret that we've been struggling lately," Carter said. "For us to win games, we're going to have to get going here."

Rob Gronkowski closes deal on Tampa mansion
Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski will spend his autumns in New England for the foreseeable future, but it looks like he'll be living large in Florida when the football season is over.
Gronkowski, currently recovering from a broken left forearm, recently closed on a deal to purchase a 4,781-square-foot mansion in Tampa for $1.6 million according to a report from TMZ.
The new House of Gronk reportedly has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, built-in fish tanks, a premium surround sound system, three outdoor entertainment areas, an infinity pool, spa, and ocean views. See photos on TMZ's site.
Gronkowski signed a six-year, $54 million contract extension with the Patriots in June. He was injured on an extra-point play against the Colts in Foxborough two weeks ago. Gronkowski had scored 10 touchdowns to go along with 53 receptions and 748 yards on the season before the arm injury.
And don't worry about Gronk jumping ship to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers anytime soon. The big tight end might not see free agency until 2020, when he would be 31.

The only problem with having the oven facing the crowd would be that he'd have almost no room for maneuvering. It's like playing pool with a wall 2 feet away from the table.
Look who is standing in there.
Pauliegee123? Could we be related?
I don't see any insulation on the trailer box and I don't see any AC's - you would have heat stroke in the rig during the summer.Trailers are better than trucks from the standpoint of being eye level with the customer. A trailer parked on the street with the customer on the sidewalk puts you eye level. All that engineering with the truck still doesn't overcome the problem of height.Health regs require mobile food venders to be enclosed - screening or windows, you can't just open the side up without some barrier to insects, unless you are only doing fairs or events with a temporary food permit. To have a mobile kitchen that you can vend on the street with you have to be fully enclosed.I'm building a WFO trailer right now with an 50" Ambrogi, - with the stand and insulation it is about 2500 lbs. The trailer is a 10,000 lb capacity tandem, the curb side is fully open with 2 large vending windows that become awnings, 2 roof AC's, 50 amp electrical, water system, diamond plate floor, stainless walls and ceiling, etc.I could build about 5 or 6 WFO trailers for 180k.
I've seen several mobile setups and the best ones usually have the kitchen partially outside the truck. It makes the meal more intimate and you feel like you're a part of the operation. IMO the oven should be sitting on the bed of the truck facing the doors. You open it up and the cook actually stands on the ground. All the prep tables make an "L" shape around the cook. The cook takes out pies and puts the pies on the cutting/serving table directly. People want to see the craft. It's a dying art. I don't know if this is possible for a WFO, but those are the best setups I have seen.

ROME -- A senior accountant in the Vatican's finance department, an Italian intelligence agent and a banker were arrested Friday on suspicion of trying to smuggle the equivalent of $26 million into Italy in a private jet as part of a tax-dodging plot.
The arrests came just two days after Pope Francis created a commission reporting directly to him to monitor the Vatican's scandal-plagued bank.
Investigators alleged that Nunzio Scarano, 61, a cleric who was recently put on suspension as a senior accountant to the Holy See, planned to fly money belonging to a family of Naples shipbuilders into Italy from a Swiss bank, helping his friends dodge Italian customs.
According to the investigators, Scarano offered $780,000 to agent Giovanni Zito -- who was removed from service three months ago, according to Italian media reports -- to hire the jet and also involved Italian financier Giovanni Carenzio, in whose name the money was being held in Switzerland.
Zito took sick leave in July 2012, rented the plane and flew to Lucerne in Switzerland, investigators said. He allegedly planned to collect the cash, fly it to Rome and hand it over to Scarano for delivery to the D'Amico family.
But in Lucerne, Carenzio failed to produce the money, and Zito returned to Rome empty-handed, where he nevertheless demanded his fee from Scarano, investigators said. The cleric allegedly paid him by check for a portion of the total, gave him a second check for the balance due, but then reported the second check as missing in a bid to stop payment.
On Friday, a Vatican spokesman said that Scarano had been suspended last month and that the Vatican was ready to offer "full cooperation" to magistrates.
The priest, who worked in banking before being ordained, was already under investigation in a separate probe after he allegedly withdrew $728,000 to pay his mortgage from a Vatican bank account that held donations to build a home for the terminally ill in southern Italy.
While the recent incident did not appear to involve the Vatican bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, magistrate Nello Rossi told the Associated Press the arrests were part of a "mosaic" of investigations into the bank. It was implicated in the 1980s in the collapse of the Italian Banco Ambrosiano, in which the Vatican bank was a stakeholder. Roberto Calvi, then-chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, was found hanging under London's Blackfriars Bridge in suspicious circumstances.
In 2010, Italian magistrates investigating money laundering seized $30 million from accounts at banks used by the Vatican bank. The cash was returned but the probe continues.
Under recently retired Pope Benedict XVI, the bank tried to improve transparency and meet international standards on combating money laundering and tax evasion.
Pope Francis, who has called for a "poor" church, this week announced a new commission to monitor the bank's activities, which includes Harvard Law professor Mary Ann Glendon, a former United States ambassador to the Holy See.
[For the record, 2:32 p.m. June 28: An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated in the headline that the three men were arrested on corruption charges, and the story incorrectly reported that they were charged with corruption and fraud. Though the men were arrested on suspicion of corruption and fraud, no formal charges had been filed.]
