With no less than 20 MMO-tuned buttons and a bucket load of other features, The Logitech g600 review targets people who play MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gamers who demand pinpoint precision and customization.
Since cordless mice and serious gaming don't mix together very well, hardcore MMO players are mostly limited to corded mice. The G600 is designed to take the load off the keyboard and replace many traditional keyboard functions.
Palm-grip gamers find the mouse delightful, but do all MMO gamers need so many intimidating buttons?
Let's find out.
- 20 MMO tuned buttons: Includes unique 12 button thumb panel designed for quick, no look navigation. The low friction...
- G shift ring finger button: Instantly double the number of actions you can perform with every button
- Built for comfort: Sculpted shape and tuned buttons reduce click fatigue during marathon multiplayer sessions. G8 cycle modes
Logitech g600 review
20 Buttons Fine-tuned for MMO Gaming
Logitech g600 review targets gamers who play a lot of MMO because gaming is more about precision and customization than anything else and it excels in both departments.
The 20 MMO-tuned buttons are preconfigured right out-of-the-box for optimal gaming.
The buttons include 3 primary and 12 thumb buttons, a G-switch/shift and a clickable scroll wheel. The G-Shift button aims to help gamers dominate the world of MMO and allows shifting the state of 12 thumb buttons.
This translates into a total of 24 keystrokes, effectively doubling the 12-button-capacity and customizable functions. Just hold the G-shift button to activate the second command of any thumb key and you get a total of 24 buttons.
The same button can also be used to change DPI using the gaming software if you think you don't need more thumb buttons.
But not everyone wants preconfigured buttons as gamers have their own unique styles and preferences.
To address requirements of all types of gamers, G600 buttons can be fully customized/programmed using the Logitech Gaming Software.
What makes this mouse one of the finest available right now is the 'more is better' approach. Let's look at some of the additional features.
On-the-fly DPI Switching, 1ms Report Rate
Logitech knows how much precision and responsiveness matters in the world of MMO gaming.
G600 is designed to execute commands almost instantly and with a report rate of 1000 Hz, gamers can execute functions up to 8 times faster than a standard mouse.
This means the mouse captures the moves as players make them, without any delay.
Gamers can change DPI from 200 to 8200 by simply pressing the button conveniently located behind the scroll-wheel.
The gaming-grade laser allows gamers to use the mouse on most surfaces and is able to register even the subtlest of movements.
Logitech G600 Software
Unlike some manufacturers that require users to sign-in to use and configure their gaming software, Logitech aims to make things easier for gamers.
The Logitech Gaming Software offers all the customization options you need, without making it difficult to configure settings. Whilst the software may not let you program complex macros, it does make revamping all of the keys effortless.
It's also able to detect compatible games by scanning the hard-disk and switches the mouse layout automatically for optimal performance. This means gamers don't have to revamp buttons every time they launch a new game.
- 20 MMO-tuned Buttons
- Intuitive and precise thumb panel
- G-Shift button
- 1ms report rate
- Customizable backlighting
- On-the-fly DPI switching

- Cable length: 6.5 feet
Why the Logitech G600? Great Versatility and Customization Options
We chose to make this Logitech G600 review because of it versatility. It feels great to have almost a hundred button combinations off the keyboard and right at the tip of your thumb.
This gives MMO gamers the slight competitive advantage that can mean the difference between winning and losing in such a competitive niche.
Add a bundle of other features, precision, and responsiveness to the equation and you get a solid weapon needed to dominate the MMO world.
The same buttons the mouse brags about can also become intimidating for not-so-hardcore MMO players. It's also not an all-purpose mouse and is not easy to lift due to its bulkiness.
Left-handed gamers who represent around 10% of the gaming population are also out of luck as there is no left-handed variant available.
This model is labeled as an MMO mouse so we cannot complain about its inability to satisfy action gamers. The buttons may be intimidating in the beginning, but gamers fall in love with the same buttons once they get used to them.
You can still use it for a whole lot of other purposes other than MMO gaming, including assigning multiple-keystroke shortcuts for photo-editing software such as Photoshop and Lightroom.
Should You Buy It?
If you are seriously into MMO gaming and want a mouse that offers great versatility, customization and pinpoint precision, it is definitely worth trying and easy to recommend.
Who Should Buy the G600?
The Logitech gaming mouse is meant for hardcore MMO players who want to take the load off their keyboards and put a whole bundle of functions right under their thumb.
Logitech has been fair by all means and labeled the mouse as an MMO Gaming mouse.
Right-handed players obsessed with gaining the competitive edge should feel right at home with the G600.
The mouse offers a great package that comes with easy-to-use software and everything one needs to dominate the command-crazed MMO world.
Who Should NOT Buy the G600?
If you are looking for a multi-purpose mouse that you can also use for action gaming, it's better to look for other more specialized options. You are also out of luck if you are not right-handed as there is no left-handed version of the mouse available.
Palm-grip mice and MMO games mix together well, but if you are the claw-grip type, you won't find the G600 that much interesting and comfortable to use.
It's also bulkier and difficult to lift, which means you might find it rather uncomfortable for action gaming and prolonged general use.
Verdict – Logitech G600
The Logitech G600 is a great option for right-handed MMO players who cannot compromise on even the slightest competitive advantage they could have over other players. The mouse is designed for a specific purpose and serves it quite well.
It does not claim to be an all-rounder by any means, but it can still prove to be useful for a variety of applications such as photo-editing software that make tasks easier through multi-keystroke shortcuts.
If versatility, customization, and precision are what you want and are not concerned about the general ergonomics, the few extra bucks you'd spend on the G600 are going to be worth it!
I hope you liked our Logitech g600 review and learned why it is the best.

Premium Bandai has opened preorders for a gorgeous figurine of Yuri Plisetsky from Kubo Mitsurou's hit series Yuri!!! on Ice!
The infamously short-tempered male figure skater will be joining the G.E.M. Series as a 1/8 scale figure reaching approximately 200 mm.
Clearly in his element, Plisetsky strikes a beautiful pose that oozes the graceful precision and cold beauty he's known for when on the ice. His brows are furrowed in concentration, his expression tight with concentration as he tries to go above and beyond.
Contrary to his crude personality, Plisetsky appears quite handsome with a proper pair of trousers and suspenders to match! Sculpted with the utmost attention to detail, fans can not only marvel at his slender frame in motion, but also how his clothes fit and wrinkle realistically around his body.
Those who rush to pre-order through Premium Bandai will also be gifted with a mini figurine of his adorable kitty Potya.
Plisetsy is scheduled for release in Aug. 2018, following previously released G.E.M figures for other central Yuri!!! on Ice characters Nikiforov Victor and Katsuki Yuuri.

My First Fantasy Football draft I had a specific strategy. I would draft players to fill all my starting positions(Quarterback, 2 Running Backs, 2 Wide Receivers/TightEnds, Defense/Special Teams, and Kicker) before drafting bench players. I would also have a sub for each position. This strategy worked as I won the championship that year. I used the same strategy the next year and made it to the finals. I didn't tweak the strategy much for several years. My thinking was: it's more important to draft someone who will actually be scoring points than someone who will be on the bench.
A few years ago, I read a Fantasy Football article that blew this strategy out of the water. The thinking was that it's better to draft RB's and WR's for your bench because, for the most part,(after the top 3 or 4) TE's, K's, and Def's are a dime a dozen. I started drafting these 3 positions in the last 3 rounds and not having a sub for any of them. RB's and WR's are liable to score more points or have a breakout season. You can always drop an unproductive RB or WR and pick up a TE, K, or DEF when a bye week hits. I crack up when I see guys draft multiple TE's, K, and DEF early in drafts while I'm getting productive RB's and WR's. Now, what does this have to do with church leadership?
First, there should be no bench players in the church. How are we choosing our leaders and are we putting them in the right place where there strengths will shine through? Or, are we selecting niche leaders instead of strong leaders? Are we putting the person who can weave baskets in leadership simply because we want to find a place for them? Is our church even strategic enough to know what kind of leaders we need and what we're looking for them to do? Sometimes, we pick leaders because of their last name or who invited them. Are we picking people to fill a spot or we actually looking for those who will contribute to the mission and vision of our church/ministry? Sometimes, I think we are totally unprepared when a new leader emerges. We are not ready to cultivate and empower them for ministry so that initial burst of enthusiasm goes away. We have got be more prepared to harness that enthusiasm and have the strategies in place so leaders/volunteers can find that place where they can serve with passion and purpose. Many people spend their lives going through the motions. The last thing they want to do is volunteer, lead, or serve in a capacity that doesn't challenge, stretch, and empower them in their faith. So, who are you going to draft and who needs to be removed from your team?

Transportation task force set to meet Wednesday at the Capitol
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - The "21st Century Missouri Transportation System Task Force" will meet for the first time Wednesday afternoon at the state Capitol.
State Rep. Kevin Corlew, R- Kansas City, who is also serving as the chair for the task force, created the task force in the last legislative session.
The task force includes 23 members, including MODOT Director Patrick McKenna.
McKenna said it is important to have a task force to look at a long list of things across the state.
"We obviously haven't solved all of the transportation funding issues, so it is important to have a task force like this to really bring to light the issues and the concerns the public have," McKenna said.
He said the he thinks the committee is being structured as an action committee.
"Having members of the public, having bipartisan and bicameral support and membership on this, and also having representation from the governor's office on there as well as certainly the department of transportation, economic development and the Missouri State Highway Patrol, I think it is a well rounded group and it should be very productive," McKenna said.
McKenna said the task force is intended to discus the issues across all modes of transportation.
He said the task force will evaluate transportation across the state, look how to solve problems and form public policy.
"It is very difficult to form public policy around raising revenue or otherwise," McKenna said. "There are different approaches to that, certainly some of the members have different approaches to how they think it should be solved, whether they think it should be new revenue or recommitted revenue that exist in the state."
McKenna said the average driver in the state spends approximately $30 a month for access and use for public roads in the state.
"We are funded on a national and a regional level pretty low in the country and in our region," McKenna said.
He said surrounding states are increasing user fees and investing in their transportion, and McKenna said that should be a concern for the state.
"We want to be competitive, we want to have a competitive environment, we want our people to be able to travel, and for the economy to be able to move reliably on this system and safely," McKenna said.
The task force is set to meet at 1 p.m. Wednesday in House Hearing Room 3 at the Capitol.

text: Lockheed Martin and Blohm + Voss forged an agreement to work together in providing the U.S. Navy with a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) solution capable of meeting the stated requirements of speed, range, payload, cost, capability, survivability and supportability. The agreement, in the form of a memorandum of understanding, calls for a continuance of the relationship established between both companies for the Navy's ongoing Ship Concept Studies. The scope of work to be performed consists of integrated modular designs for both onboard and off board systems as well as development of an advanced propulsion system for a Focused Mission Ship (FMS). The FMS is a proposed ship design intended for the Navy as a tool to evaluate a range of technology options, particularly in the areas of design and modularity, for an eventual LCS. Carol Hulgus, Lockheed Martin Naval Electronics & Surveillance Systems (NE&SS) vice president and capture team leader for LCS, said "We conducted a worldwide search for an industry leader that has consistently utilized best practices and delivered on their commitments to customers. Lockheed Martin and Blohm + Voss are committed to the success of the LCS program and look forward to working together on this revolutionary ship that will transform how the U.S. Navy fights in the littorals." LCS, a transformational new ship class for the Navy, will be expected to engage numerous threats in the littoral environment, the most significant of which include diesel submarines, small boats engaging in swarm warfare, and mines. A key element to the overall ship design will be the development and integration of different modules, easily interchanged with LCS, to address the various threats in the littorals. Dale Bennett, Lockheed Martin NE&SS-Marine Systems vice president and general manager, stated "Blohm + Voss understood the need for modularity in ship design and integration as early as the 1970s, by developing flexible mission modules that provide for ease of spiral upgrades to systems over time. This approach to modular ship design resulted in the extremely popular MEKO-class ships, found in 11 navies worldwide today." Dr. Reinhard Mehl, Blohm + Voss executive board member, believes his company's experience with the MEKO ships will be of critical importance to LCS. "We have learned many lessons along the way in refining the MEKO design that we expect to be of great significance for our LCS efforts, particularly in the areas of signature reduction, enhanced survivability, advanced propulsion systems, fully integrated warfare systems based on an open system architecture, damage control and integrated monitoring and control systems. We look forward to leveraging this experience with Lockheed Martin as we work together to provide the U.S. Navy with a very capable LCS solution."

Site BIM advantages
The building information modeling also abbreviated as BIM is one of the best ways to make sure that the work is done with care and perfection. The use of BIM technology has led to the results that are matchless. From site to the final product BIM plays a very important role to make sure that the results are delivered in time and in line with the project management. The BIM grasping is surprisingly being increased and the effective management of the projects in the construction industry is being increased. The use of the technology is not limited to the building only. When choosing a site the BIM makes sure that the best advantages are enjoyed by the owners. The making of the project has never been simpler. The BIM project management chooses the best site for the users.
The BIM consulting has always been a matter of debate and therefore it means a lot when it comes to the site. For every successful building project, the site plays an important role. A good BIM project management starts from site choosing and ultimately transforming it into a very successful project. Site choosing is one of the factors which can be regarded as the foundation of every successful project. For the site, the BIM should always be done so that the construction advantages have been enjoyed. BIM is regarded as a game changer for the industry as it leads to successful financial planning as well. It is not possible for the BIM to get implemented successfully if the site teams are not aware of the advantages.
Imaging the land
The site is only one of the best ways to make sure that the project is completed with care and perfection. Once the site has been chosen the BIM is to be done to make sure that the construction is started with care and in line with modern requirements. The using of the BIM on-site choosing is always important as it leads to successful project completion. The rework is reduced to a great extent and therefore it means a lot to the users. The construction management becomes effective and ensures the safety of the structure.
Site measurement
It is very important that the site is chosen in a manner that is greatest of all. It means that the drones and laser fitted equipment are used to measure the land precisely. The internal coordination increases and the departments work effectively and more efficiently. The construction cost is reduced in this very first part of the planning which means a lot to the companies that are looking for cost reduction. The new businesses can benefit a lot from BIM a lot.
Increase approval rate
The construction companies can get high approval ratings from the clients. The work of the construction is made easy and in line with the project requirements. The better collaboration also makes sure that the approval rate increases and the work being done clearly and transparently. The working relationship between the departments increases and as a result the approval rates also skyrocket.

Ask A SMLTalker: Halloween Costumes/
Marvin asked: "Tis the season to ask a SMLTalker... What's the most socially unacceptable Halloween costume out?" Given this question's almost laughably easy answer I want to make sure that by giving you this answer Martin, you are not, and I repeat NOT, going to use this as your Halloween costume.
Black face is by far the most unacceptable Halloween costume in all of Halloween's history. I shouldn't have to explain why. Just don't fucking do it, ever.
You hear about those frat kids that had a "MLK Jr. Party", by dressing up in do-rags and fucking basketball jerseys, drinking 40's and listening to rap music? Those kids are morons. And all they got was suspended? That's a real punishment for being (apparently) college educated and pulling shit like that? You know that dude gave his life to try and put an end to racism in America, right? You're telling me pound-me-in-the-ass prison isn't reasonable punishment for that? Whatever, dude. I suppose Chad and Bryan (pictured below) of Alpha Chi Jackoff have the whole pound-me-in-the-ass thing covered, anyway.
This is of course an example of an unacceptable "Adult-Halloween" costume. Not knowing how old you are Marvin, there is still a chance that you're of the tender age where Halloween is filled with wonder and excitement, goblins and ghouls and princesses running door to door in search of delicious candy. I long for those days, Marvin. You wouldn't believe how old it gets to see "Ms. Freshmen Fifteen" dressed as Officer DaddyIssues, pathetically vomiting outside the bar while her two friends, Nurse Butterface and I-Didn't-Wear-A-Costume-I'm-Just-Desperate-For-Any-Man's-Penis, hold her hair back and cry.*
For those still trick-or-treating—what Halloween is actually meant for—I would assume a socially unacceptable costume would be one that goes outside of American gender normalcy. For example, a young boy who opts out of being a Power Ranger and instead goes trick-or-treating as a glittery princess. Or a young girl, who instead of being her favorite Disney royalty, went as a butch football player. I imagine these would create shock-waves in quaint suburban communities, whose Halloween's are rarely disturbed by those trying to disrupt the social norms of such a sacred holiday. Fuck those people, Marvin. You wanna play princess? Then own it, Marvin.
Whatever you choose to do (with the exception of black face, of course) remember that both Adult-Halloween and Regular-Halloween have clear cut goals:
Adult-Halloween - Getting as drunk as humanly possible (pissing yourself, a plus).
Regular-Halloween - Eating so much candy you actually mimic the high of an adderall binge.
Good luck, Marvin.
*This is not to say that this behavior is only a trait of women. Halloween is also the world's largest pissing contest for Chad's all around the country to impress their fellow bro's. Often 4loko's and Bud Light's are consumed at such rapid rates that the inevitable "DUDE, like, I love you and...and like I just want you to know that you can tell me ANYTHING BRO...And I just think we should get out of these clothes..." occurs earlier in the night, sometimes before they leave the frat. And while I do not condone the behavior of these shitty dudes/women, getting drunk is the main goal of Adult-Halloween. Which leads me to conclude that drunk or sober, Chad and Officer DaddyIssues fucking suck...always.

Finding Community/
About a month or so ago, I was talking to a vendor friend about a local group that met once a month with the goal to help one another with their businesses. As usual, I was skeptical. Right now in the wedding industry, there are vendors who will actually go through high lengths to bring their competition down. For example, some vendors type terrible reviews on their competitor's review page on event review sites to ruin their chances at booking couples. Sounds like it's straight out of a movie right?! But this is happening every where and unfortunately small, flourishing businesses end up taking major hits because of these shenanigans. Small businesses also take a hit because "big box or big name" companies within the industry have a monopoly on certain venues and locations throughout the USA.
Needless to say, I was interested to see what it was all about. The group's name is called Tuesday's Together and it is part of a national group called The Rising Tide Society. Their belief is that instead of competing against one another, we should all help each other and grow as a community.
After our first Tuesday's Together meeting and interacting with the community online through Facebook, I couldn't be any more positive that this was one of the best decisions we have ever made as a business and as people. As Stationary vendors, we don't really get to interact with other event or wedding vendors for a specific client. We may reach out to the photographer of a client's event to hopefully get some shots of our product or even a wedding planner to make connections. Otherwise, we are all by ourselves.
(Come on...tell me you didn't sing the lyric!! You forced me to do this.)
Now that you get the picture, let's get back to the point of my post. We all desperately need community. Whether it is with people from work, home, school, you name it. We are not meant to live alone. Like it says in Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." We are meant to live in community and I'm glad we found one that we can turn to when we have happy, sad or challenging moments in our business. Even if it means using Periscope to include us at a meeting because we can't make it.
Until next time!

Get the new macro now hosted on github
Edit 18th Jan 2011: The below text refers to the old version of the macro and is no longer relevant, a new post will describe the new macro, and it is also documented on the github site.
As a follow up to the earlier post regarding Emeditor Professional as an editor for R development, I have updated the script based on user feedback. The script now sends selected text or the whole (if no text selected) file to a running RGui Console if set to, otherwise as per previous iteration, will send it to rterm.
So, there are now 2 ways to run the macro, based on setting the value for a variable called "useSource" – the default is "true", which means any selected text (or file) will be sent to an already running instance of RGui; If useSource is set to "false", the macro will operate the "old" way, by invoking rterm each time.
This has a number of benefits over invoking rterm each time:
- Keeps the same workspace loaded – No need to keep repeating tasks, such as loading libraries, performing lengthy calculations etc, if you only changed some other part of the code;
- Plots now display;
- You can see what has executed.
The macro relies on the R command "source", as sending text via sendkeys is unreliable. By default, the macro has echo=TRUE,keep.source=TRUE set. For further information on the source command, in R, run "help(source)".
Note that when useSource=true, all R output is only shown in R, only errors with emeditor/macro will show in the Emeditor output window.
More features planned for the future:
- Auto launch RGui if useSource=true but no rgui running;
- Be closer in features to the vim r plugin; and
- Move the macro code to github
- Maybe create an actual emeditor plugin and run R in a hidden shell for more integration.

Our New Age, 1957-1973
Last week the American Geophysical Union recognized one of my historian heroes. Erik Conway won the 2017 Athelstan Spilhaus Award, for enhancing the public's engagement with Earth and space sciences. Erik and his colleague Naomi Oreskes have helped to transform our understanding of the public "debates" about climate change science, acid rain, secondhand tobacco smoke, and the ozone hole. In Merchants of Doubt, they documented how a handful of prominent anti-communist scientists repeatedly spread confusion and promoted ignorance, to undermine political action that would curb the freedom of major corporations to sell dangerous products. Erik's other books have synthesized the history of NASA's atmospheric science programs, traced the development of blind landing systems for airplanes, and analyzed the techno-politics of supersonic flight. He's the house historian at the Jet Propulsion Lab, as well as an avid skier and model rocketeer.
Erik's award got me thinking about Athelstan Spilhaus again. Spilhaus ("Spilly" to his friends) had an astonishing career. Between 1958 and 1973, he wrote an educational comic strip that was syndicated in more than 100 newspapers. Before, during and after that time, he was a meteorologist, instrument inventor, academic dean and science policy entrepreneur. After studying with Carl-Gustav Rossby during the 1930s, Spilhaus invented the bathythermograph, a key tool for studying the temperature structure of the ocean (and for finding where submarines can hide from sonar). He taught the weather cadet generation at NYU early in World War II, then volunteered for active service, parachuting behind enemy lines to establish a covert weather reporting network. Postwar he consulted with the Air Force on a program using mylar balloons to catch radioactive debris from Soviet nuclear tests. When an experimental balloon crashed in 1947, the unfamiliar material and Air Force secrecy combined to create Roswell, New Mexico's new identity. (And my favorite Spilhaus headline: "Athelstan Frederick Spilhaus, inventor of aliens, died March 30th, aged 86.") He moved to the University of Minnesota as Dean of the institute of Technology, where he conceived the idea for the National Sea Grant Program. For more than 50 years, this program has supported oceanographic research, public engagement with science, and greater knowledge about the role of the oceans and Great Lakes in the lives of Americans. (Regular readers won't be surprised to learn the Trump Administration wants to kill off Sea Grants, just like Regional Climate Centers and the Air Resources Laboratory.) But Spilly's widest outreach effort came from his comic strip, Our New Age.
Like so much else in 20th century American science, Our New Age was a response to Sputnik. Over 15 years, Spilhaus worked with three different artists to make scientific knowledge fun and accessible. Each Sunday comic strip illustrated a recent advance in science or engineering, discussing its implications for how people might live, work or play in the future. When Spilhaus and John F. Kennedy met in 1962, the president apparently told him, "The only science I ever learned was from your comic strip."
Spilhaus was quite confident that science was an influence for good, but he took a realistic view of its limitations. His June 19, 1960 strip about global population growth is a good example. After noting the medical science has helped add 22 years to the life of the average American since 1900, he did a little math to show the impossibility that space colonization could relieve population pressure on Earth. The other strips reproduced here, on space weather, satellite based ocean observation, and cosmic influences on the atmosphere, reflect Spilhaus' characteristic style: attentive to known scientific facts, alive with their implications for daily life.

While researching fun food-related holidays, I came across Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day, and I couldn't help smiling. The last time I ate one of those, it sat in the large rectangular well of a faded cafeteria tray. My mom wasn't big on hotdogs, and that was before consumer awareness was a thing. Of course, this meant that once I was out on my own, I tried out a plethora of sausages and settled on one fact: I love them all.
Most sausages and hotdogs are, thankfully, gluten-free. The exceptions tend to fall under specific types of add-ins such as the alcohol in beer brats. As always, make sure you read the ingredients list carefully if you have Celiac. Celiacdisease.com has a comprehensive hotdog list to help you know for sure. Another phenomena that has taken over the commercial market as a healthy alternative to hotdogs is chicken sausage. A proven child favorite is Al Fresco's all-natural chicken sausages with apple and maple. If you're brash enough to serve these babies in the morning, consider substituting real maple syrup for the brown sugar and regular kosher salt for garlic salt. These changes will sky rocket the breakfast flavors. If you're going for more of a dinner option like me, feel free to throw some chopped garlic or herbs into the dry ingredients of the pizza dough.
Today's recipe is a hail to the sausage. This specific recipe is a modified version of Gluten-Free on a Shoestring mini-dogs wrapped in pizza dough. I used gluten-free-bread's own pizza dough recipe instead because I prefer to make my own flour mixture rather than invest in the pre-made all-purpose flour mixes. While I love her idea, I wanted a recipe that was more like a meal and less like an appetizer. Or maybe I'm just a tad selfish as a result of my childhood deprivation. Either way, I hope you love the gluten free pigs in a blanket recipe!
A note: If the meat variety you chose to use is more than 1 ½ inch diameter, I'd encourage you to cut 4 of them in half lengthwise for this recipe or double the pizza dough recipe and make 16. They freeze easy, so don't worry about making too many!
Gluten Free Pigs-In-A-Blanket
Makes 8.
1 ½ cups brown rice flour, plus more for dusting dough
2 tbsp. potato starch
2 tbsp. tapioca starch
1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum or guar gum
3/4 tsp. garlic OR kosher salt
1 tsp. brown sugar or pure maple syrup
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing dough
3/4 cups warm water (about 100°F)
8 full-size GF hotdogs, sausages, or brats
- Combine the flour, gum, starches, yeast, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl or in your mixer bowl. (If using syrup, dissolve in water and add in next step.)
- Steadily pour the olive oil and water to the flour mixture; use a spoon to combine. If you're using your mixer, use paddle attachment on low speed as you pour the water and oil in.
- Continue to stir until the mixture starts to stick together, adding flour a tablespoon at a time if it's too sticky.
- Press the dough into a disk shape and place in a bowl; drizzle with additional oil and turn in the bowl so it's coated.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and allow to rise 1 hour in a draft free area. (I usually put mine in my cold oven, safe from child disasters and cat hair.)
- While the dough rises, line a baking sheet (or two) with unbleached parchment paper; set aside. If you're using whole dogs, make slits in their sides to allow steam to escape while they cook; don't do this step if you've cut larger sausages in half.
- When the dough has doubled in size, remove from the oven and preheat it to 400 degrees F.
- Flour your hands, divide the dough into four equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball.
- Flour a surface and the piece of dough your working with (be sure to keep the other pieces of dough coved with a moist towel.) and roll the piece into a 8" x 6" rectangle about 1/8 an inch thick; dust dough as needed to keep it from sticking to your rolling pin.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rectangle diagonally into 2 right triangles.
- Place a hotdog on the shorter end of the triangle of dough and roll it up tightly in the dough; dab the bottom of the triangle point with water and seal it by pressing it gently into the dough underneath. Then place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Repeat rolling and cutting triangles in the dough and wrapping hotdogs until all ingredients are used. Pigs-in-a-Blanket should be spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake about 15 minutes or until dough edges and top are golden brown and you can hear the dog sizzling. Remove from oven and let them cool before serving them. There's almost nothing worse than burning the roof of your mouth or back gums on a hotdog.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
These travel well too! Consider bringing them to play dates, making them for parties and potlucks, or making them part of a gathering where you know a gluten sensitive friend might need something delicious among the pasta salads and gravy-ed casseroles. Feel free to pass on the recipe to anyone you might think is interested.

This dish combines sweetness, fruity acidity and above all fiery spice, which poses a particular challenge to the wine accompaniment. Here one needs either residual sugar, extract or maturity.
Pairs well with
- Grüner Veltliner – high in extract – tames the incendiary spice with agility, highlights the flavour of the coriander leaves (cilantro) and proves itself a lively companion with its fresh apple-toned fruit.
- Beerenauslese with good balance between sweetness & acidity, especially when Welschriesling is in the blend, takes the point off the chili's hot spice and complements the fruity aromas.
- Sauvignon Blanc dances around the vegetable flavours, but needs bottle age (Ortswein or Riedenwein) to keep up with the spice.

Pro Audio Blog – Microphones: The Basics
The cheapest way to plug in a mic to an iOS device is by using the IK Multimedia iRig Pre, a little box that separates the mic and headphone output signals from the mini-jack socket, and uses a 9V battery to boost the mic signal to a healthy level with no perceptible noise. It also comes with a phantom power option for condensers. Although the iRig Pre is pretty quiet, the built-in mic input is rather noisy on Apple devices, and the converters can lack the clarity required for professional recordings (although newer iPads and iPhones have got bit better in that respect). There can also be bleed from the headphone signal into the mic, and the phantom power supply might not supply enough current for some older studio models. All in all however, it will give surprisingly good results with a minimum of hassle at an incredible price point. A huge upgrade in terms of sound is the fantastic iRig Pro, which takes the same form factor but adds a digital interface, and plugs into the lightning connector instead of the headphone socket. This increases the quality of the sound and gets rid of the inherent hiss of the built-in mic input, providing fully professional results. It can be used to plug in guitars, synths, and even MIDI keyboards with the provided lead. If you are looking to record two separate audio inputs of any kind, the best iPad option is the fantastically practical Focusrite iTrack Dock. The iPad slides straight into the upper part, and a few easy-to-use gain pots are all you need to control the device. This is one of the very few interfaces that actually charges your iPad, which makes all the difference during time-critical situations if the battery is running a bit low. If you are looking for the highest sound quality in iOS-specific interfaces, your best bet is a model by Apogee, a company renowned throughout the pro audio industry for its high-end products. Their One, Duet and Quartet interfaces will plug straight into the Lightning port and allow you to record any microphone, guitar or other device with utmost accuracy. Apogee's company philosophy is very similar to Apple's with regards to quality, and that comes at a cost; however, the increase in sound quality, support, and reliability will be more than worth the price tag to professionals who can now rely on this kind of product for a living.
Recording Software
Of course, in order to be able to record any sound into your device, you will need a dedicated app. There are dozens of apps in the market, many of them proprietary, but the best choice is usually to get one that will work with any interface just in case. We are spoilt for choice nowadays, but we will recommend three standout offerings:
Dayana Networks Voice Record Pro
This good-looking app is as simple as it gets; It only records mono or stereo, but it does so very competently and is very easy to use.
The advanced options allow you to select the audio input and give you a lot more possibilities with regards to quality, going from standard MP3 up to CD quality and beyond (WAV to a maximum of 48 kHz, 24 bit).
Apple Garageband for iOS
Apple is renowned for the quality of its operating systems and software for Mac, but they actually have a team of developers focussed solely on audio; the same team codes Logic Pro for professional music production, Garageband for anyone starting out, and now Garageband for iOS, which is designed to take all the functionality from the original software into the iPhone and iPad. This is not an easy task, since the more functionality, the more complex and unwieldy software can become, but the end result is absolutely fantastic in both power and ease of use. It can of course do single mono or stereo recording, but it excels at multi-track recording, and contains virtual instruments which can be accessed either by playing the screen, or by plugging in an external keyboard. All in all, it's the best all-rounder, and at a fantastic price.
WaveMachine Labs Auria Pro
The incoming sound of a recording is mainly dictated by the microphone and interface, but from then on you are then bound by the software's flexibility and built-in effects. If you truly want the best possible sonic results when mixing music on an iOS device, then WaveMachine Labs Auria Pro is unquestionably your best option. The price is hefty, but it allows for a truly professional workflow, and you get access to some of the very best digital effects and software synths in the market, courtesy of PSP Audioware and FabFilter. It isn't anywhere near as easy to use as Garageband, but a combination of a high-end sampler and fantastic synths can give you pretty much as much flexibility songwriting as can be had in a portable device, and in-app purchases allow you to get many of the finest effects out there as plug-ins for much less money than their desktop versions. A truly astounding app.
Final Thoughts
When the very first iPad was released, the possibility of doing professional audio work with it seemed distant, but there were grounds for optimism. The technology has since moved to a point to which one can truly record, mix and master music on pretty much any Apple portable device without having to compromise on sound. They won't substitute the raw power and ease of use of a full-blown computer for the most processor-intensive and complex production tasks anytime soon, but anything from high-end classical music recording to straightforward music production on iPads is now not only possible, but a serious option to consider.
If you're still unsure as to what to choose, do contact your favourite pro audio reseller to get some personalised advice. Happy recording!

Florida's Gulf Coast braces for oil spill's impact
PERDIDO KEY — On one of the westernmost patches of Florida earth, the people of this beach community plucked litter from impossibly white sand -- lipstick-stained cigarette butts, bottle caps, straws, plastic cups -- in a frantic effort to protect the shoreline from an oil spill gushing in the Gulf of Mexico that is likely to arrive in days.
By lunchtime on this gray Sunday, hundreds of men, women and children were canvassing the 10-mile-long key in a delicate dance to remove debris that could become oil-coated contaminants, all without damaging wildlife nests, grassy beds and sand dunes.
Along the Florida Panhandle, towns whose livelihood, history and identity are inextricably linked to the beaches and bays are bracing for what promises to be an economic and environmental disaster caused by an April 20 oil rig explosion.
Perdido Key is likely to be the first place in Florida touched by the spill, but all across the region people believe that after this week, life will change. For now, they wait.
"It's like waiting for a hurricane, the same kind of anxiety," said Charlene Schultheis, who grew up in these parts and helped clean up the beach behind the Flora-Bama Lounge. "But once a hurricane blows through, you get up and clean up and rebuild. With this spill, you don't know how long it will last. Every day could bring more and more."
Red flags on the Panama City beaches instructed people to stay out of the water. Robert Cozine and his fellow surfing buddies ignored the warnings.
The choppy surf on Sunday didn't make for ideal surfing conditions, but Cozine said he wanted to be on his board while he still had the chance.
"I feel like this oil -- it's like the comet that's heading to Earth," Cozine said. "There's nothing you can do about it except wait to die and enjoy life while you can."

By, Lou Quinto
Executive Coach and Speaker
When you have a problem to solve or decision to make do you take the time to Stop and Think?
As simple as it sounds, most people don't take the time to Stop and Think about the problem they are trying to tackle or the decision they are trying to make and end up wasting a lot of time. The excuses people make include:
• "I already know what the cause of the problem is, or I have a good Idea which choice I should make."
• "I don't have time! If I stopped to think about every problem or decision I have I would never solve any of them."
• "I never consciously thought about it!"
Stop and Think will help make you more efficient in your problem-solving and decision-making and you will realize many benefits. Among them are:
• It will clear your head from the cacophony of daily business noise to focus on the specific situation needing to be addressed.
• It allows your brain to question what your "gut" may be telling you is the best course of action and prevent you from making a snap decision – getting you to use facts over your opinions.
• It is a wise investment of your time. People attribute Ben Franklin with the quote, "Haste, makes waste." Four or five minutes taken on the front end will save you hours of rework repairing a snap decision that was bad or the incorrect solution to a problem.
• It minimizes your chances of falling into the time-wasting syndrome of "analysis paralysis" because you will take the time to define a list of that data you determine is necessary to arrive at the best outcome and identify the specific sources from which that data will be gathered.
• Finally, when working with others, consider the purpose of Stop and Think similar to a huddle in football before a play. When the huddle breaks the players go to the line knowing what their individual responsibilities are to successfully execute the play called by the coach.
Stop and Think is a critical thinking process. Characteristic of all critical thinking processes there is a list of logical tasks defined by a series of questions you should ask yourself. The answers to those questions help you to formulate your game-plan for tackling your situation. Here is a look at some of the questions you must answer and tasks you must accomplish before running out onto the problem solving and decision-making field.
1. Have you created a clear description of your problem, decision or goal? John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform, said, "A problem well-defined, is a problem half solved." What he was referring to is that when you take the time up-front to develop a concise problem or decision statement it helps you to eliminate areas you should avoid because those areas have nothing to do with your current challenge. I.T. professionals consider this as avoiding "scope creep." That's where your workload expands into doing work not directly associated with your primary task or wasting time to gather information which – in the end – proves to be irrelevant.
2. How does this relate to my goal, objective or mission? Answering this question will allow you and your team to tie the successful resolve directly to your overall purpose. When you do this, you will recognize the level of importance that this decision of solution has to the overall progress of your project or job.
3. What is the urgency and risk associated with this dilemma? Prioritizing tasks is an important concept in managing one's time and project plan. By identifying the issue's urgency and risk you will be able to balance this problem or decision among the many other things you need to accomplish.
4. How much time do you believe will be needed to solve this problem or make this decision? Everyone works well when deadlines are established and known by all. Create that deadline. If not, you will find yourself viewing procrastination as an option. It shouldn't be!
5. Define your criteria in advance? Establishing criteria in advance allows you to pinpoint the specific information you will need to gather which prevents you from drowning in a sea of information and wasting time in that dreadful time waste known as analysis paralysis. Your criteria will also help you frame up your problem or decision and identify the source where that information can be obtained.
So, with your next problem or decision resist the urge to jump in with both feet. Stand at the edge – Stop and Think – and carefully map-out the game plan you will follow with an accurate and concise assessment. You will save a lot of time and frustration.
