Pancetta and Onion Pizza
- 5 ounces slab bacon or pancetta, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 pounds prepared pizza dough or homemade, recipe follows
- All-purpose flour
- Kosher salt
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 1/4 cups prepared pizza tomato sauce or homemade, recipe follows
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (about 5 ounces)
- 1/2 leek (white and light green parts only) or white onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese (about 1 ounce)
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- Pizza Dough
- 1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 (.25-ounce) packet active dry yeast, about 2 1/4 teaspoons
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as necessary
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- Tomato Sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (28-ounce) can San Marzano tomatoes
- 4 to 6 fresh basil leaves
- Kosher salt
1. Put a pizza stone on the bottom rack in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F for at least 30 minutes. Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta or bacon, cook until the fat renders but is short of being crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions; form each into a ball. Roll a portion into a 12-inch disk on a floured surface (cover the other piece with a kitchen towel). Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour and put the dough on the peel, drizzle lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt. Slip the dough onto the preheated stone and cook until just set, about 4 minutes.
3. Using the peel, remove the dough from the oven and top with about half the sauce and toppings - bacon, mozzarella, leek, and garlic. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Return the pizza to the stone and cook until the crust is golden and the cheese melts, about 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the pizza, top with half the grated Parmesan and scatter with some basil leaves and pepper flakes, if desired. Serve. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.

1. Whisk water and sugar in a bowl and scatter the yeast over the top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in olive oil.
2. Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the liquid to make a rough, shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly-floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. If the dough seems wet, add just enough flour to prevent sticking.
3. Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Form the dough into a ball, rotate it around the bowl to coat and place it seam-side down in the bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Set aside at room temperature, until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Or cover and refrigerate overnight. If refrigerating bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before forming.
Yield: Makes 1 1/2 pounds of dough, enough for 2 (12 inch) pies
1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden but not dark brown, about 20 seconds. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes and add them to the pot along with 1/2 cup water, basil, and season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Serve.
Yield: Makes about 3 cups

Hi, route help.
Visiting family in Healsville.
Mum & lil J taking the family truckster.
I figured on riding the bike: Kensington > Healesville, via Warrandyte > Yarra Glen > Healesville.
Goggle maps shows Skyline Rd, south of Sugarloaf reservoir, as dirt. But more importantly, who has ridden it & what are the gradients like?
Tool of choice will be my CX which runs flat guard tyres & has ratios for awkward climbs.
Many thanks for words of wisdom & experience.

Parts To Repair, Modify, And Upgrade Your Grill Or Smoker
It can occasionally be a lot cheaper to modify, patch up,or upgrade your current smoker. Here are some tools to help you. Then again, sometimes you just need to haul the old clunker into the alley and get a new one.
Convert a drum to a smoker/grill. BigPoppaSmokers.com sells a kit that you can use to convert a drum into one heckuva nice smoker for under $200, and assembly is easy. You can even say "I built it myself.
Seal doors. If you have a cheap offset smoker (COS), or a gas smoker, chances are they leak badly around the doors. You might be able to mitigate the problem by making a gasket. One option, suggested by reader Davidhag1 is to buy a replacement gasket designed for a Big Green Egg. It is a feltlike material and has an adhesive on the back. You can get it from one of their dealers, or from the website.
Rutland Gasket Kits and Gore-Tex Gasket Tape are good for making gaskets for doors and lids. Pay attention to thickness and max temp. Another option is Rutland High Temp Silicone Sealant or use a high temp auto silicone that is rated for 500°F or more. You can make a really thin bead around the door rim or the smoker body where the door contacts it. Lay a thin strip of kitchen wax paper or kitchen parchment paper (which is actually silicon impregnated) on top of the bead. Gently close the doors until the goo spreads out and the paper makes contact with the opposite surface all around. Lift the door and let it set. Peel off the paper. The sealant can be trimmed with a knife. Rutland Products are in hardware stores, furnace and wood stove stores, and online.
Another good spource is BBQgaskets.com. They carry a wide range of gaskets and sealants.
Convert to gas. Turkey fryers online sells parts that you can use to convert a charcoal cooker to gas, or install a gas igniter for charcoal.
Fix leaks. J-B WELD, readily available at hardware stores, is pretty good at filling gaps and leaks, but it is not rated as food safe, so keep it away from cooking surfaces. A new product, Master Bond EP21NDFG is FDA approved and looks like a good choice. Other products that might work, but I haven't used, are Victor Exhaust System Sealer, or other muffler cements, or high temperature silicone sealants. Just steer away from anything that might melt and drip on the food.
Retain heat. Cheapo smokers are made of thin metal. That means the heat escapes quickly. If you put bricks in the bottom and cover them with foil, the cooking chamber will take more time to heat up, but it will hold heat longer and distribute it more evenly. This will also help dampen temperature spikes. You can also cut down on the heat loss by draping the cooking chamber (not the firebox) with a welding blanket or a foil insulation blanket.
You can put bricks inside a cheap offset smoker to hold heat and even temp spikes. You'll need fire bricks for things like pizza ovens. H.C. Muddox sells special high temp fire bricks and tubes.
Replacement parts
Occasionally you may need to replace grates, burners, knobs, or other parts. The first place to start is with your manual. Get the part number and then look on the manufacturer's website. If you can't find the manual, it may be available in downloadable form on the website.
If the producer doesn't have the parts you need, there are companies that supply replacement parts, even for older cookers:

Caught Before Geneva: 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class - Spy Shots
Mercedes hatch is one of many new small models on the way.
By February 27, 2012 / Photos by Brenda Priddy & Company
The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class has been spotted in 5-door hatchback format while undergoing a round of winter testing. There is very little camouflage on this silver test car, other than black tape hiding the head and taillights, along with some of the side character lines that extend along the doors. An upright grille with a large three-pointed Mercedes-Benz star dominates the front fascia. At the rear is a roof-mounted spoiler above the rear window, along with fairly thick C-pillars a rear back-up camera could come in handy. Intended to compete with the new BMW 1-Series< and Audi A3, this small Mercedes will eventually spawn a sedan, sport-wagon and crossover.
A Mini Mercedes-Benz Family Tree
We've already had a peek at what the sedan and wagon versions said to be called the CLC might look like once they go on sale in 2013. Riding on the new MFA platform, expect Mercedes to use this flexible chassis to offer a vast range of body styles and powertrains. Focusing solely on the U.S. models, we expect the base engine will be a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that should put out approximately 200 bhp. Coupled to a 7-speed dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission, performance should be brisk, and in keeping with Mercedes' upmarket image. A 2.2-liter diesel engine and a hybrid model are also likely. An electric model is also not out of the question.
What's less clear is whether an A-Class wearing this 5-door body style will make it to our shores. Audi has already decided to bring only the new A3 sedan to the U.S. the 3- and 5-door hatches are staying in Europe. Mercedes-Benz could opt to focus on volume-sellers like the sedan and, at some later date, a small crossover. More details should emerge during the upcoming New York Auto Show in April, when the A-Class-based 2013 CLC sedan is expected to debut.

350MHz iMac G3
So, today I spent roughly $90 of fuel to collect a 350MHz iMac I drunkenly won on eBay of about $10.
Perfect condition though, I just stuck Tiger on it and updated it to 10.4.11. MacTracker tells me the 350Mhz model (lacking Airport and Firewire) can only officially support up to 10.3.9, but I had no trouble with using my PPC Tiger CDs. But yeah, anybody with an early (~11 year old) G3 iMac with any... general advice? It's got the 7GB hard disk, 8MB ATI Rage Pro GPU, and (astonishingly) 320MB of memory. I bid on it in the first place simply for the nostalgia value... I always wanted one of those iMacs since I was but a wee boy in primary school. now that dream is fulfilled. Thoughts? <3

Apple released two variants of the 350Mhz iMac. The first. And out with the first slot loaders. This one has an Airport expansion slot. When Apple revised them in 2000 or 2001, they removed the Airport slot. It's pretty easy to check which one yours is. Just flip it over an open the ram door. If it has two clear pastic holders next to the ram, it is the older Airport capiable one.
I have one of these models, it doesn't get used very much since it was replaced by an eMac. But when I did use it, it was used mosty for music and movies. They have pretty good speakers. If you are lucky enough to have a G3 iMac/G4 Cube DVD drive around, they are great for DVDs. I put a CompactFlash card in mine with an adapter. It maxes out the iMac's ATA/33 bus with easy and makes it overall faster and completely quite.

Apple made two 350Mhz G3 iMac models. The original slot loading one and the Summer 2000 model. The are exactly the same expect that GPU is a ATI Rage 128 Pro instead of the slower VR and that the Summer 2000 model does not have an Airport connector inside. Everything else, from the lack of FireWire and VGA output to the maximum ram and optical drive is exactly the same.

Sounds like you have a new toy now. Any plans to upgrade it? I have a 400MHz graphite G3 that I upgraded to 1GB RAM, SuperDrive, Airport, 120GB HD. Great little machine. I want to upgrade the logic board to 700MHz but that's $90 at the least.

British mystery writer P.D. James is best known for her creation Adam Dalgliesh — a pensive, private Scotland Yard detective shaped by his own personal tragedy. Dalgliesh populates many of James' stories, but not her latest. In her new book, Death Comes to Pemberley, P.D. James inhabits the world of Jane Austen — specifically, Pride and Prejudice.
"I had this idea at the back of my mind that I'd like to combine my two great enthusiasms," James tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer. "One is for the novels of Jane Austen and the second is for writing detective fiction."

Hood Memorial Hospital, in Amite, La., hasn't been full in at least two decades. Some people say that makes it's a perfect target for efforts to reduce federal spending.
On an average day, fewer than four of the hospital's 25 beds are occupied. Last year, Hood posted a $700,000 loss on its $7.5 million in total operating expenses. One of the few bright spots on Hood's balance sheet: the extra money it receives from the federal government through a program for critical access hospitals — small facilities that receive a higher Medicare reimbursement rate to help keep them afloat.
There are many flashpoints between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney as they battle for the Republican presidential nomination. Most of them are about character or leadership: Who can beat President Obama? Who's the real conservative?
But Gingrich and Romney do have one big policy difference — and that's on immigration.
The White House will unveil a broad, new strategy Thursday aimed at battling homegrown terrorism in the U.S. The program aims to empower communities by teaching local officials to recognize violent extremism and see the threat as a public safety issue, like the battle against gangs and drugs.
The Civil War ended slavery in America. So why, asks author Ta-Nehisi Coates, do African-Americans, who benefited most from the conflict, take so little interest in it? Coates, a confessed Civil War obsessive, wrote about that question in his recent article, "Why Do So Few Blacks Study the Civil War?"
The story appears in a special issue of The Atlantic commemorating the Civil War.
Women's health advocates were quick to cry foul Wednesday when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius overruled the opinion of the Food and Drug Administration that the popular "morning after" emergency contraceptive "Plan B One Step" should be allowed to be sold without a prescription — and without age restrictions.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison following his bribery and extortion convictions. He is expected to begin serving the sentence in February.
A new study documents the increasing crush of patients turning to free public clinics in the Houston area. Officials there are worried because they expect even more people to seek care when the Affordable Care Act, the federal health law, takes effect in a little over a year.
An investigation by the Washington Post shows that remains of 274 service members were cremated and disposed of in a landfill by personnel at Dover Air Force Base. Steve Inskeep talks to the Post's Craig Whitlock, one of the reporters who uncovered the story.
France and Germany are trying to persuade other European countries to sign onto a package of reforms aimed at shoring up the embattled euro. They're hoping to win agreement in time for Friday's big summit of European leaders in Brussels. A failure to reach agreement could send the wrong signal to the financial markets, which are already deeply worried about Europe's fiscal problems.

Scenios puts video collaboration in the cloud
Scenios is a new video host launching Monday that hopes to find the sweet spot between traditional storage services and high-end digital asset management software. In many ways it's not so different from the former, except that it's entirely dedicated to video files and the collaborative video-creation process.
To get files onto the service, users need to upload from their browser. There is no desktop or mobile component yet, though Scenios CEO Mark Davis, whom CNET chatted with last week, says a piece of desktop software is on the way. It will sync up local files with their … Read more

Low blow Grizzlies fans
The Memphis Grizzlies fans have every right to brag about their team leading the series 2-1 against the West's number one ranked San Antonio Spurs. The Grizzlies are taking it to the Spurs and making all of Spurs fandom a bit nervous on the outcome of this series.
However, there is bragging, then there are low blows.
In the game three, seems one fan took taunting to a new level by wearing a blown-up cutout of Tony Parker's ex-wife Eva Longoria's head decked out in a Memphis headband.
OK Grizzlies fans, I'm all for some good-natured ribbing but it's like that huh? Now it's your turn Spurs fans. What can you think of to dish it back to this Memphis fan?

Oct 27, 2013A palatial hotel, with terraced levels of lounges and restaurants. It is worth checking out for sure. The pool is reasonable, but does not compare to the other high end luxury resorts in the area like Swahili beach. However, the beach here is very nice. A great white sand beach in a protected cove.
The food is also delicious here. The downside is it really does project a tourist vibe, doing cheesy music performances over dinner and enforcing a pants only dress code at dinner.

I just love their Spa, known as Uzuri Spa. They offer numerous special treatments, such as the African Foot Cleanse (take it prior to your safari) and Heavy leg treatment (a specialist for post-trip, poor circulation). Choose from a variety of body treatments – a moisturizing milk bath, mineral salt bath, mud wraps or Reiki (a Japanese body treatment).
Various touch therapies are on offer including a variety of massages, such as deep tissue, foot reflex, neck and shoulder detox and others. Separate bandas boast different treatments such as sauna, steam and pool with a Jacuzzi available and a gym.
The products used are naturally produced in South Africa with the finest ingredients. Special treatments such as anti-wrinkle and cell wall-strengthening and act as on antidote to stress and pollutants.

December 22, 2011
7:12 am
ESPN's John Clayton made a bold statement Wednesday evening saying that Raheem Morris would have been fired Monday after Sunday's blowout loss to the Jaguars had management felt there was a suitable interim coach. Morris commented on the report during his Thursday afternoon press conference.
"I'm probably the most mentally tough person you could ever be around,'' Morris said. "I don't usually comment on speculation. If you don't feel like you're working for your job every day, you're probably not doing your job.''
Several players including TE Kellen Winslow told PewterReport.com this week they fully support Morris and hope he survives the turmoil of a losing season. The Bucs head ball coach appreciates the support.
"My guys support me through wins, losses [or] whatever,'' Morris said. "These guys are awesome. I know there's a cloud outside the organization, but when you come into this building, there's a bunch of rays of sunshine. We do our best to keep the rain away.''
Beginning with the last three game of 2009 (2-1) until the 4-2 start of this year, the 16-9 record Morris and the Buccaneers compiled was fourth best in the NFL during that time. However since that fourth win of the season in 2011 Tampa Bay has now dropped seven straight, with each loss more ugly than the one before.
Despite the rumors, speculation and general doom and gloom, Morris remains upbeat and knows criticism comes with the territory.
"It's pretty much the same staff that went out there and won 10 games and everybody loved us,'' he said. "This year, we're not having the same success. Obviously, it starts with the coaches and then goes to players and management. That's how it works in this business. For those who are given a lot, a lot is expected. It's just the nature of the beast we live in.''

While T-Bones does a lot of things right...I am beyond saddened and disappointed that they carry veal. In this day and age with knowledge we all have of the living conditions of the calves that provide the meat is despicable. I first wrote to the company about carrying veal and the respnse was they have a customer base requiring this, but would discuss it with the owners. they still carry it and sorry...I run a business as well but I make moral decisions and still manage to make a living. If you are an animal lover boycott T-Bones until they stop carrying veal...and some free-range meat to go with their organic vegetable would be nice as well.
Great Place – T-Bones is a great place. Like a neighborhood grocery store with friendly helpful people and great prepared food.
Try it, you'll go back.
OVERPRICED, UNHEALTHY OPTIONS, WEAK SELECTION – So this place is way overpriced at least 1-5 dollars on most items.there selection is very unhealthy, mostly fried, or worse. they dont even give healthy options or make you a fresh sandwich.Id say go up the street to subway unless your a lazy fat guy.

In an article last November, I wrote that products based on Mt. Rainier technology are a legitimate contender for QLogic (QLGC) growth engine of the future. I proposed that if Mt. Rainier uniquely allows IT organizations to share expensive SSD resources across servers, OEMs will fill the PCIe SSD adapter piece of their SSD portfolio with another product from their trusted supplier, QLogic. The innovative and useful shared PCIe SSD caching capability of Mt. Rainier gives QLogic a chance to disrupt the momentum of incumbent leaders, and grab significant PCIe cache SSD market share.
A lot has happened since then. QLogic is nearing general availability of products based on Mt. Rainier technology. And, to my surprise, two competitors just announced products based on the Mt. Rainier class of technology.
On February 21st, start-up PernixData came out of stealth mode with a Flash Virtualization platform which pools PCIe flash resources from different servers. Its management and board are the "Miami Heat" of storage with a roster full of all-stars including Poojan Kumar and Satyam Vaghani from VMware (VMW), John Thompson, former CEO of Symantec (SYMC), and Mark Leslie, former CEO of Veritas Software.
On the same day, Virident, another start-up which was already shipping flash-based products, announced FlashMAX Connect--a software suite to deliver shared server-side flash storage. Equally important, just a few weeks ago Virident announced an agreement with Seagate (STX) to offer a complete line of flash-based PCIe solutions to Seagate's OEM and distribution partners.
Validation for the QLogic Game Plan
The competition led by several storage all-stars is validating the importance of the Mt. Rainier game plan. Sharing IT resources to increase utilization and availability makes obvious sense and will form the basis of Gen 2.0 server-based SSD.

Gen 2.0 products will start shipping in 2013. Right now the teams are just warming up for the contest later this year to capture OEM design wins and end-user deals.
As QLogic, PernixData and Virident are on the court shooting around, I expect IBM/Texas Memory Systems, Intel (INTC), LSI (LSI), Micron (MU), and other PCIe SSD suppliers are huddling in the locker room to figure out if they should build, partner or acquire technology before the big Gen 2.0 tournament.
OEMs such as HP (HPQ), Dell (DELL), EMC (EMC) and NetApp (NTAP) are still scouting the technology and evaluating the capabilities of products available in this year's Gen 2.0 draft.
Gen 2.0 Power Rankings
Given that none of the Gen 2.0 server-based SSD vendors are shipping products yet, it's tough to pick a clear favorite.
All things considered, I still like QLogic as the OEM favorite for Gen 2.0 SSD adapters. It appears the company is ahead of the pack in delivering the new technology and it has a proven track record of delivering enterprise-class SAN adapters.
QLogic investors should thank PernixData, Virident and Seagate for validating the QLogic game plan, and keep on the lookout for OEM design wins later this year.
