Looking to tire upgrade, need some assistance
Right now I am currently running BFG A/T 31-10.50R15 tires on 15x8 M/t Classic Rims.
I bought these wheels back when my Jeep sat stock but I've been starting to look at other possibilities now that I have a 3" Lift on the jeep. I was thinking about getting M/T MTZ 33x12.50R15s, would these fit comfortably on the rims I currently have or would the tire be to wide for the 15x8 rim. (I've heard rule of thumb is to have the rim at least 2" narrower but im not sure if anymore than that could be bad) |

This blog is about Microsoft Dynamics AX development and solving specific technical problems. Blog owner Kenny Saelen is working as a technical consultant for a Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner in Belgium. He has 6 years experience working with the product.
Some of you will be familiar enough with Ax 2009 and therefore know how to create multiple threads when running batch jobs. For those of you who aren't : no worries! Since most of it will be done in the same way as before, you will be up to speed in no time.
The main difference in Ax 2012 is the Business Operation Framework that renders the RunBaseBatch framework kinda obsolete. (Read : It's MS best practice to use BOF instead of RunBaseBatch). The BOF lets you create services and run these services in CIL. I will spare you the full details about CIL as it out of the scope of this article. You can find all the details about creating these services in some very nice posts of a colleague of mine.
Now that you have seen the basics, let's get to the point of this article. Today we were wondering if the new BOF would also be able to handle multi-threaded batch processing and escpecially how it would be accomplished. Well here's how…
In this example I will use a rather useless functionality but it's done like this to keep things simple. I will have a set with some names in it and instead of running a service to display them all we will create two services :
First thing to do is creating the KeSaeRunTaskService and creating a datacontract for it to contain a name it will be passed as a parameter. So start by creating the data contract.
[DataContractAttribute] public class KeSaeRunTaskDataContract { Name mName; } [DataMemberAttribute] public Name parmName(Name _name = mName) { ; mName = _name; return mName; }
Now that we have the contract, let's create the service class. The service class just contains one method 'process' that will be passed a data contract.
class KeSaeRunTaskService { } [SysEntryPointAttribute] public void process(KeSaeRunTaskDataContract _theContract) { ; // Inside the runTimeTask we just print the name passed info(strFmt('%1', _theContract.parmName())); }
Now create a service within the AOT and add the operation as seen below.
Now let's do the same thing all over again, but for the service that will be submitted to the batch framework. The only additional thing here is to create a menu item to that service to be able to run it.
And last but not least we need to put in some code in the batch service to create smaller runTimeTasks when processing in batch so let's take a look at the process method.
[SysEntryPointAttribute] public void process() { Set theNames = new Set(Types::String); SetEnumerator theEnum; Name theName; ; // Add some names to the set to process theNames.add('Kenny'); theNames.add('Klaas'); theNames.add('Kevin'); theNames.add('Tom'); theNames.add('Ronald'); // Create the enumerator theEnum = theNames.getEnumerator(); // Loop all the names while (theEnum.moveNext()) { // Get the next name theName = theEnum.current(); // Create a service controller to run the task for processing one name mController = new SysOperationServiceController(classStr(KeSaeRunTaskService), methodStr(KeSaeRunTaskService, process)); // Fetch the data contract from within the controller mContract = mController.getDataContractObject('_theContract'); // Put the current name in the controller's data contract mContract.parmName(theName); // Check if we are batch processing or not if(this.isExecutingInBatch()) { if(!mBatchHeader) { mBatchHeader = BatchHeader::getCurrentBatchHeader(); } // Create a runTimeTask within the current batch job mBatchHeader.addRuntimeTask(mController, this.getCurrentBatchTask().RecId); } else { // Just run it immediately mController.run(); } } // If we're processing in batch, then save the batch header if(mBatchHeader) { mBatchHeader.save(); } }
This piece of code differs from Ax 2009 by constructing a SysOperationServiceController instead of a RunBaseBatch class to add as a runTimeTask. This works because the SysOperationServiceController extends the SysOperationController which in it's turn implements Batchable.
class SysOperationServiceController extends SysOperationController public abstract class SysOperationController extends Object implements Batchable
That's about it! Do not forget to compile CIL! Then you should be seeing this when your service is being processed in batch.
And when clicking the parameters button on one of the threads, you can see the name that was passed in the data contract to the thread.
All this can be found in an XPO file available here.

1985 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Review
by Phil |
"Everyone should drive a vette at some point."
The '85 Corvettes had a lot of squeeks ansd such due to a lack of time to refine the car's flaws before it hit the market. The power and accelaration are great for an 80's car! I'm not a big fan of the digital dash thought. Nor do I car for square interiors. Over all though, I loved this car and feel that I made a huge mistake by getting rid of...

I purchased an audio interface recently, service was faultless and quick, while browsing eBay I noticed Intersales advertising the item £20 cheaper than I had purchased it from their store online, I emailed them and within 5 minutes Iwas granted a refund of the £20 which was quickly returned to my card with a note of apolagy for the error.
As a pro musician and signed songwriter I need that sort of service so would recomend Intersales to other musos.

The Truth is very much like an apple pie; one has to sink one's teeth into a piece of pie and eat it to truly appreciate it. The only way to satisfy one's craving for apple pie is to help oneself to a piece of apple pie. Dreaming or thinking about a savory warm piece of pie won't do any good to our craving. Holding a piece of pie in our hand, smelling, and staring at it may stimulate our appetite, but that won't do any justice to our desire. We can sit in our armchair and visualize ourselves eating a big delicious piece of pie, but all that does is improve our visualization skill. Reading a well-written recipe for baking a perfect apple pie would only help expand our knowledge of apple pie. In our search for God or the Truth, we often mistake the means for the goal. We attend Bible study, we go to church every Sunday, we listen to sermons, we participate in Harvest Crusades, we go on pilgrimage, and we do everything that a faithful follower is supposed to do in order to achieve our goal, whether it's salvation, enlightenment, or spiritual bliss. We also have people who are spiritual but not necessarily religious. These people don't make personal salvation or enlightenment their goal, but nonetheless they wish to have a meaningful life. Whatever our spiritual goal may be, we all seek to understand that higher purpose of human existence. Also, many of us feel the need to worship a deity, god, or higher being, and to establish a connection with our object of worship. We're all searching for the Truth, one way or the other. But what is the Truth? The religious scriptures, the Sutras, the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad-Gita, are they the Truth? These are sacred texts that describe the Truth, but they are not the Truth. The churches and temples, the worship ceremonies and rituals, the chanting, the hymns and sermons, are they the Truth? Of course not! They all pertain to the way we worship the Divine, but in no way do they contain the Truth. All of these are merely means to the Truth. They are not the goals, but ways to achieve the goals. The scriptures reveal or describe the Truth, but they are not the Truth. By the same token, we should not mistake religions for the Truth. Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Confucianism, and Judaism are nothing more than vehicles to take us to our destination. Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Lao-Tzu, Confucius and other founders of religions were messengers sent to earth by Almighty God to preach the Truth. The disciples and devout followers of these messengers erroneously believed that what they taught or preached was the Truth. And because these devotees were righteous people and firm believers, they were confident that they knew the Truth. Many Christians proclaim that Christianity is the Truth Many Buddhists believe that Buddhism is the Truth Many Muslims proclaim that Islam is the Truth Many Taoists proclaim that Taoism is the Truth Many Caodaists believe that Caodaism is the Absolute Truth, for Caodaism was founded by the Supreme God. In fact, all of the above are false claims because none of these religions is the Truth. They are only means to attain the Truth. Many Christians believe that Jesus is the one and only way to salvation and eternal life. Many Buddhists believe that only the Buddha can lead us to enlightenment and self-liberation. Many devoted Christians and Buddhists do not realize that the moment they think their religion is exclusive, they unknowingly belittle their own faith. The Absolute Truth is not something that can be described by human language. If it can be described by our limited language, then it is no longer the Absolute Truth, for the Truth is infinite, ineffable, boundless, and immeasurable. According to the Tao Te Ching, "The Tao that can be described by words is not the Absolute Tao." If the Truth or God cannot be seen, reasoned, or described by words, then how can we ever hope to know God? If no scriptures can fully describe to us what the Truth is, how can we satisfy our thirst for knowledge of the Divine? What are we to do? Our instinct tells us that when hungry we should eat, and when thirsty we should drink. When we're hungry for apple pie, for example, we should eat apple pie. The only way to appreciate that piece of pie in front of you, to know what its aroma, taste, and texture are like, is to sink your teeth into it. By the same token, the best way to know God and be close to God is to feel God with our sixth sense. And if we wish to admire God's glorious radiance, we have to see God with our Third Eye (Wisdom Eye). In order to truly understand God, we have to become one with God by merging our Small Individual Soul with God's Great Universal Soul. To search for the Truth in the scriptures is like searching for a redwood tree in the middle of the Mojave Desert, for the Truth is a Bible without words (Redwood trees only grow in the coastal mountains of Northern California and Oregon). To connect with God by chanting or praying to a stone statue is like singing a love song to a pet frog, for God is a silent temple without altars, bells, candles, and incense sticks. Attempting to prove that God exists through arguments, philosophical thinking or inductive reasoning is a futile effort, for God is beyond the grasp of human intellect and language. And if we do not see God but believe in God anyway, then our religious conviction is nothing more than blind faith. To achieve peace and harmony in our lives, we have to be at peace with our environment, our fellow men, and our Creator. To be at peace with God, it's imperative that we love God as much as, or more than, we love ourselves. The only way to feel a genuine love for God is to experience God first-hand and on a personal level. Religious scriptures, rituals, sermons, and Sunday masses are very impersonal, for they are intended for the masses. To connect with our Father in Heaven on a personal level, we must worship Him in the secret chambers of our hearts and in our inner altars, not in majestic temples and cathedrals. The best way to feel God's love for us is to bask ourselves in His glorious radiance by merging our Individual Consciousness with God's Cosmic Consciousness. Churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples are places where we meet like-minded people who share the same faith, but they are not where we can expect to meet God one on one. We know that in the real world, there are usually alternative routes to a scenic or historic attraction. We often have two or more options. Should we take the scenic route, the fastest route, the shortcut, the highway, or the byway? The routes may be different. One may be longer than the other. One may be smooth while the other may be bumpy. One may feel like a stroll in the park while the other may be more challenging. But all these routes eventually take us to the same destination. The same can be said of the world's religions. Religions are the routes, the paths, the ways, or the pathways to get to the Truth. The paths may be different and the journeys may be different, but eventually we all arrive at the same destination, for there is only one Truth. The world's major religions – Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Confucianism – seem to offer conflicting explanations of the Truth. Why is it so? Obviously, each religion has its own cultural flavor because Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and Confucius lived among people of different cultures. These messengers of God referred to their Heavenly Father by different names because they spoke different languages. Also, they had to adapt their teachings to the stage of intellectual development of their people. If there is only one Absolute Truth, then how come the teachings of Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and Confucius don't agree? They don't agree because it is impossible to tell the whole story. The Truth is immense and boundless, whereas human intellect and language are superficial and limited. The best that a messenger of God can do is to reveal one aspect out of many aspects of the Truth. Founders of religions often used parables and analogies to explain intricate spiritual principles and metaphysical phenomena. The Old Testament and the New Testament both contain many parables or simple stories that are designed to make complex concepts more understandable to ordinary people – the farmers, herders, carpenters, shop keepers, and shoemakers. Because the Buddha and Jesus Christ approached the same Truth from different angles, their teachings appear to be different. Many Christians are taught that if they accept Christ as their Savior – for Christ had died so that their sins may be forgiven – then on Judgment Day when Christ returns, He will resurrect them from the dead and grant them everlasting life. Buddhists, on the other hand, are taught that people have to bear the burden of their own sins, or bad karma, and they will have to go through many cycles of birth and death or reincarnations until they are completely redeemed of all sins. These are not two conflicting truths, but two aspects of the same Absolute Truth. Both Jesus and the Buddha preached about the Law of Karma, except that each had His own way of explaining it. Not only did founders of religions have to explain the Truth in terms of the local language and culture, but they also had to adapt their teachings to the current stage of human evolution or civilization. Thousands of years ago, most people grew up and died in the same village or province where they were born. There was no mass communication and interaction among peoples of different countries and cultures. There was no air travel, no mass migration, no global economy, no Internet, no international tourism, and no telecommunication. Jesus, the Buddha, and Mohammed were preaching to local audiences, and the issues of religious harmony and world peace were not their major concerns. The world's ancient religions have become somewhat obsolete because they have not evolved as fast as human civilizations. Some religious laws or rituals that were common practices thousands of years ago may no longer be culturally acceptable today. As we can see in the case of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, strict enforcement of fundamentalist Islamic laws had hindered that country's cultural and economic development. Not only are our religions outdated because of rapid cultural and technological advancements, they have also lost their true original forms. Over the centuries, religious leaders and preachers have distorted God's profound teachings by introducing their own interpretations of the scriptures. Of course, the Truth remains unchanged. The Truth will always be the Truth because it is absolute. What got distorted by religious leaders' ambition and arrogance were the explanations of the Word of God. Discrepancies in our understanding of the Holy Bible have given rise to many denominations within the Christian Church. The same can be said of Buddhism. Today, all over the world, there are countless sects or branches of Buddhism. The United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. And thanks to the freedom to practice religions, the U.S. is also one of the world's most religiously diverse nations. Is religious diversity a good thing? Can you imagine walking into a fast food restaurant and find out that they only have one item on the menu? What choices do you have when the only item they offer is the Double Trouble, a double-decker hamburger? None! You can't have it your way because they only cook the hamburger one way and trim it one way. Can you imagine going to a new car dealership and find out that they only offer the Galaxy, a.k.a. "the most versatile automobile in the universe?" There are no hard choices to make because the Galaxy is the model. And to make your car shopping experience more stress free, the Galaxy is offered in Avalanche White only! Can you imagine walking through a botanical garden and notice that all flowers are of the same size, color, and shape? How interesting would that be? Living organisms on earth come in many different varieties, shapes, sizes, and colors because God makes them that way. Our Creator loves wondrous varieties. We all agree that choices are a good thing. God has given us many religions, faiths, and spiritual disciplines to choose from. You may ask, does God intend for man's spiritual paths to be so diverse? Certainly! God wants to provide us with as many different spiritual paths as possible so that we may adopt one that's suitable to our temperament. Our Heavenly Father wants to improve His chance of success. God wants to ensure that His children will arrive at their destination. It doesn't matter which path, means, method, or discipline we may choose, as long as we achieve our goal, which is the realization of our True Self. It doesn't matter which make, model, or color of automobile we drive, as long as we reach our destination. It doesn't matter whether we take the rowboat, paddleboat, speedboat, sailboat, slow boat, or fast boat, as long as we reach the shore and not get stranded at sea. What is the root cause of religious conflicts and strife? What feeds the hatred between Christians and Muslims, and between Muslims and Jews? What is the driving force behind the struggles between Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims, and between Catholics and Protestants? Why do Christians try to convert Buddhists and Muslims? Why do many Christian denominations attempt to convert anyone and everyone who are not Christians? Why do we even talk about religious tolerance? The religious majority and religious minorities of the United States, for example, realize that they can never be spiritual brothers and sisters. In spite of their doctrinal disputes, they have to show tolerance toward one another because the U.S. Constitution guarantees religious freedom. The Muslim populations try to tolerate the infidels because they recognize that there will always be "irreconcilable differences" in their relationships with the non-Muslims. It would be naďve to think the world would be a much better place if everyone was Muslim. And it would be absurd to believe that the human race would enjoy a heavenly peace if everyone on earth believed in Jesus Christ. What causes all the tension between various religious groups? Instead of looking for the common ground or common origin of various religious doctrines, we only look at the superficial differences. We only look at the disagreements and contradictions among the scriptures, teachings, rituals, ceremonies, and organizations of different religions. Religious strife arises out of people's utter ignorance of a fundamental truth, that religions are merely means to the end. Religions are not the end or goal of our spiritual quest. No religion can ever represent the Absolute Truth. Rather, religions are merely the different paths to the same Truth. Jesus said that He is the Truth, the way to salvation, and the way to everlasting life. And let's suppose that the prophet Mohammed also claimed that He is the way to the Truth, salvation, and everlasting life. Is that possible? Could both of them be telling the truth? There is nothing contradictory about their teachings because both Jesus and Mohammed were referring to the same Absolute Truth, and they were messengers of the same Supreme God. To know the Bible or the Koran – or any sacred book for that matter – is not the same as knowing the Truth. To memorize the scriptures wouldn't do our soul any good if we don't apply what we learn to our everyday life. To glorify God's name, God's greatness, and God's holy virtues of compassion, mercy, and wisdom is not the same as walking the talk. To get baptized or initiated into a religion or religious sect is not the same as fulfilling our religious obligation. When we receive baptism or initiation we are only shown the door. We still have to open the door and walk through it. We're only starting out on our spiritual journey, and we still have a long walk ahead of us. No Jehovah, Allah, Maria, or Buddha can take the walk on our behalf. Not even the Supreme Being or Heavenly Father can do it for us. We should not feel proud, satisfied, or relieved just because we are a Catholic, a Jehovah Witness, a Caodaist, or a Shiite Muslim. Instead, we should be thankful to God for not leaving us stranded in the Sea of Ignorance. We should be grateful to our Father in Heaven for showing us a way to salvation. The path to salvation is always a strenuous path, an uphill path that requires our commitment, perseverance, sacrifice, and patience. There is no time to relax or get distracted, for we shall meet many obstacles along the way. Personal salvation will never be up for grabs, and it will never be handed to us on a silver platter. We have to earn it with our own toil and tears. We have to prove our worthiness. Our struggle will be long and difficult, but in the end our reward will be worth the effort. Let us fight, strive, and struggle for the cause of personal salvation. Let the spiritual struggle be within us, and not among us!

Nasadra Wright, sanitarian supervisor for the health department, said the new rating system has been a success. She said businesses have contacted the department to arrange for special training to help them better comply with health codes.
In other business, Gupta said the health department needs to find other sources of revenue to supplement its HIV testing program.
State health departments no longer receive federal reimbursements for HIV testing and counseling services, following cuts in the Centers for Disease Control's budget.
Health departments previously were reimbursed $30 for each positive HIV test and $20 for each negative test to cover personnel costs. Those payments stopped after Dec. 31, 2012.
Gupta said his health department would lose around $20,000 a year now that the reimbursements have stopped. The department already supplemented its testing program at about $40,000 a year, taken from its general funds.
Gupta told the Daily Mail on Wednesday the department might have to cut back the number of days it performs tests. The health department currently offers HIV tests from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
He told health board members he is hesitant to cut hours, however, for fear of losing patients.
"That one person . . . because of their high-risk behavior, we will have an exponential rise in HIV cases in years to come," he said.

It was the parents of a 17-year old teenage boy who put the Alabama Department of Youth Services on the road to investigate one of its own.
"We had a staff member who resigned," said Allen Peaton, Deputy Director for Administration with DYS.
Allen Peaton says the investigation started in early September. The allegation centered around a 5-year youth services aide. The employee had what DYS considered 'inappropriate communcations' with a former student.
Peaton says the investigation showed no evidence of any physical contact.
"This was electronic communications. During the course of the investigation, the employee chose to resign," Peaton said.
The aide's job duties allowed him to supervise the student. Peaton declined to say whether the employee was forced to quit.
The main campus in east Montgomery has 200 students from all over Alabama. They're considered the older teenagers.. 16 to 18 years old.
"It's a mix of students who are here on delinquent offenses that range from theft offenses to we also have a sex offender treatment unit," Peaton said.
Peaton admitted it's not unusual for something like this to happen but insist it doesn't happen with any sort of regularity.
"It's in their best interest for the staff not to continue contact them once they've left the facility," said Peaton.
Peaton declined to release worker's name.
DYS officials say there is no evidence the employee had his 'inappropriate contact' with the former student from campus. The investigation is now over primarily because the employee resigned.

They looks real nice, now thye are better matched to EMM Labs XDS-1 and Playback Designs players
I guess the P03/D03/G0Rb will be next to be replaced, using 32 bit chips.
and new clock to have to same metal body shape too...
A brochure with specifications can be found in www.my-hiend.com/
CKKeung , Thanks
Can you tell me a more specific URL ?
I can't read Chinese and Google always reject when I tried to translate.
Thanks again.
I can only find this specification. But not brochure.
Brochure of K-01 & K-03:
Thanks a lot,
oh that happen to be the same as ones from my linkm but that is fine.
Curious what it'll sound like in new 32 bit DAC.
Thanks for posting the link. On the specs the clock is the same as on the X01/D2 at 3ppm. I wonder if they will show it at the October RMAF. It would be good to hear it and try to compare it to the X01/D2 I have.
take care,
Let's have a look of the internal photos:
I have P03 and D03, I guess they will replace them soon too . with 32 bit chips.
Do you think they will introduce new master clock soon ? I wanna buy G0Rb but afraid they might
release new one in the same curved body style like K01 or P03 soon.
K01 looks really nice and price reasonably.
Thanks for the info.
nice shots here. enjoy

Hi TOGA,
This is off topic on this thread but I can't get in touch with you any other way. I while back we traded some info back and forth on Simaudio and Revel Ultima 2. I think you had some high end Moon Evolution equipment that you were thinking of replacing. Do you still have any of that equipment? I'm looking for a W-8 amplifier but may be interested in other Moon Evolution equipment as well.
If you click on my name in this post, you will be able to contact me through my email address.

What should have been a fairly mundane job search for new city auditor and clerk has been injected with charges of racism and sexism from some community members.
After 30 years on the job, former City Auditor and Clerk Billy Robinson retired in December, leaving the City Commission to hire a replacement.
Robinson's deputy, Pamela Nadelini, expressed interest in the job, and the commission named her interim city auditor and clerk during the candidate search.
Commissioners interviewed Nadalini and three other candidates today. Tomorrow they meet again and are expected to choose someone for the job.
When Commissioner Fredd Atkins suggested at a previous City Commission meeting that the city avoid a protracted search and give the job to Nadalini, who has worked in the city auditor and clerk's office for 19 years, Commissioner Terry Turner said he felt it was the commission's duty to interview all candidates before awarding someone with the job.
That didn't sit well with some in the community. At the Feb. 1 City Commission meeting, four north Sarasota residents, chided commissioners for not already awarding the position to Nadalini and suggesting the hesitation was because she is a black woman.
"We have to do everything we can to change the attitude across the country about the city of Sarasota — attitude toward minorities," said John Rivers.
Said Gwen Calloway: "I'd hate to get a group of women together, (who would) hate to find out you're not giving a woman a job she's overly qualified for."

Godwin Macharia explaining his research on stem and leaf rust resistance in Kenyan wheats to workshop participants.
A workshop on Cereal Rust Phenotyping was held on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota on July 8-10, 2012. The workshop was sponsored by the Stakman-Borlaug Cereal Rust Center (S-BCRC) and the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture Triticeae Coordinated Agricultural Project. Nine participants attended the workshop, which was led by Brian Steffenson and Pablo Olivera. The first morning of the workshop involved general presentations on cereal rust diseases and methodology for handling the pathogens. In the afternoon session, participants were given hands-on experience in scoring infection types on plants and different methods for coding rust assessment data for association mapping. In the evening, a picnic was held so the participants could meet other cereal rust workers in the S-BCRC. The following morning, participants toured the rust research plots on campus, the Cereal Disease Laboratory, and the University of Minnesota Plant Growth Facilities.

A new report released today by Restaurant Opportunities Centers, Food Chain Workers Alliance and The Food Labor Research Center (Wednesday, Oct. 24) in observation of national Food Day 2012 says that a proposal pending in U.S. Congress to raise the minimum wage would increase retail food prices for American consumers by at most 10 cents a day, while helping nearly 8 million food workers and 21 million workers in other industries.
Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2012
Berkeley -- A new report released today (Wednesday, Oct. 24) in observation of national Food Day 2012 says that a proposal pending in U.S. Congress to raise the minimum wage would increase retail food prices for American consumers by at most 10 cents a day, while helping nearly 8 million food workers and 21 million workers in other industries.
The report from the recently established Food Labor Research Center, based at the University of California, Berkeley's Center for Labor Research and Education, along with the Food Chain Workers Alliance and the Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC United) looks at the proposed "Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2012." The act would represent the first increase in the non-tipped minimum wage in five years and the first in 21 years for tipped workers, who because they make $30 or more in tips a month, can be paid less than other workers.
"Food workers are some of the lowest-paid workers in America, and they face much higher levels of food insecurity than the rest of the U.S. workforce," said Saru Jayaraman, director of the Food Labor Research Center. "Our report shows that raising the minimum wage would help them put food on the table while barely, if at all, impacting everyone else's ability to put food on their tables, too."
The report, "A Dime a Day: The Impact of the Miller/Harkin Minimum Wage Proposal on the Price of Food," is authored by Jayaraman and Chris Benner, an associate professor of community and regional development at UC Davis. Jayaraman also is the co-founder and co-director of ROC-United.
The country's food system is the largest employer of minimum wage workers, who hold positions ranging from agricultural field hands and food processing plant workers to cooks in diners and waiters in high-end restaurants.
The bill, introduced last summer by Congressman George Miller (D-Calif.) in the U.S. House of Representatives and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) in the U.S. Senate, calls for incremental increases of 85 cents an hour for each of the next three years to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $9.80 an hour. Similarly, this would raise the tipped minimum wage from its current $2.13 an hour to 70 percent of the full federal minimum wage.
"Raising the minimum wage at its core is about respecting and valuing work," said Representative George Miller (D-Calif.). "No one who works hard every day and plays by the rules should live in poverty. It's also good economic policy. Giving minimum wage workers a raise will help millions of working families make ends meet and help grow the economy."
Jayaraman and Benner said that even if employers passed along 100 percent of the wage increase to consumers:
The average U.S. household spends $3,827 a year on food eaten at home and another $2,634 on food eaten out. In real numbers, the researchers say, the price of a $20 restaurant meal would increase 45 cents over three years, and grocery bills would rise less than 3 cents per day. Conversely, non-tipped wages would increase by 33 percent, and tipped workers would see more than a 100 percent wage increase. Together, over the three years the law would need to fully take effect, these increases would translate into a cost of at most 10 cents more per day, on average, for American households.
The federal minimum wage for tipped workers has been frozen at $2.13 for 21 years, with 70 percent of the affected workers employed in the restaurant industry. Sixty-six percent of them are women. Employers are supposed to ensure that tips bring every employee to the full federal minimum wage, but data collected by ROC-United shows that this rarely happens.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, passage of the Miller/Harkin legislation would add $40 billion to the economy through higher wages, while adding 100,000 net jobs and increasing the Gross Domestic Product by roughly $25 billion.
"We rely on food system workers to bring our food to our tables - workers on farms and in food processing plants, warehouses, grocery stores, and restaurant and food service establishments," said Joann Lo, executive director of the Food Chain Workers Alliance. "It's a sad irony that food system workers rely on food stamps at one-and-a-half times the rate of the general workforce. Raising the minimum wage can help lift food workers, and workers in other industries, out of poverty."
In conjunction with the release of "A Dime A Day," and with Shannon Kuhn, a member of the Organic Consumers Association and a former restaurant worker, the Food Chain Workers Alliance and the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United are launching a consumer petition on SignOn.org calling on members of Congress to support the Miller/Harken Fair Minimum Wage Act. The petition also states that the signatories are willing to pay a dime a day extra for food so that millions of workers can benefit from the increased minimum wage. The petition is live at http://bit.ly/DimeADay.
The report is available online at the following websites: UC Berkeley Labor Center: http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/ Food Chain Workers Alliance: http://foodchainworkers.org/ Restaurant Opportunities Center: http://rocunited.org/
Contacts: Saru Jayaraman, (212) 243-6900 cell or saru.jayaraman(at)berkeley.edu Chris Benner, (530) 574-7585 or ccbenner(at)ucdavis.edu
The Food Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley conducts research and education on the wages and working conditions of workers along the food chain and the impact these conditions have not only on workers, but also on employers and consumers.
The Food Chain Workers Alliance is a national coalition of worker-based organizations whose members plant, harvest, process, pack, transport, prepare, serve, and sell food, organizing to improve wages and working conditions for all workers along the food chain and for a more sustainable food system. http://www.foodchainworkers.org/
The Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United is a national restaurant workers' organization with over 10,000 members in 19 cities nationwide. Founded initially after September 11th, 2001, by workers displaced from the World Trade Center, ROC conducts organizing, employer engagement, cooperative restaurant development, workforce development, and research and policy work. http://www.rocunited.org

Some call it stuffing and some call it dressing
Published on Wed, Nov 19, 2008 by

November is a fickle month. It is an unpredictable month. You may face a morning bright and crisp then suddenly the autumn skies change to dismal gray and the heavens break loose. The rain pelts down hard and the wind roars across the prairie in sudden swirling gusts. It bites the air and crashes around snapping slender snags.
And one November, Nov. 13, 1937, to be exact, there was 10 inches of snow in the city of Sequim. It is an unpredictable month, for sure.
But what can be predicted is that the most festive dinner of the whole year is in November - Thanksgiving. This is a dinner that demands the traditional dishes. It is a meal one does not want to mess up with inventive and imaginative ideas. But, if you dare to be adventurous and are feeling an overwhelming desire to try something different and feel you can cope with all the complaints, try a new stuffing.
Some people call it stuffing and some call it dressing. Northeasterners are most likely to call it stuffing, whereas in the South it typically is baked in a casserole dish and called dressing. Old cookbooks refer to stuffings as forcemeats, saying they are nothing more than seasoned mixtures used to stuff meats, fish or fowl.
Stuffings should not be a highly seasoned mass of wet dough. They should be a savory, well-seasoned mixture based on bread or on what's grown in your region of the country, such as rice or potatoes. In the Deep South, it usually is made from corn bread that has little or no sugar in it. In Cajun country, it may be based on rice and sausage. On the West Coast it may be sourdough bread combined with apples and wild mushrooms.
Stuffing has been misunderstood and abused. Too often it has been a mixture of white sandwich bread and onions, celery, a bit of seasoning and water and the results are a soggy, bland dressing. The right bread is so important. Soft sandwich breads aren't substantial enough to absorb and carry the weight of broth and vegetables. Taste the bread. It should not disintegrate or turn gummy in the mouth - it should have a little chew. Crusty Italian or French-style loaves are recommended, as is day-old bread, which can soak up more liquid and results in a more flavorful stuffing.
Most of us grew up with the stuffing inside the turkey but more and more recipes call for cooking it separately. This sidesteps potential food safety pitfalls. But, also, unstuffed turkeys cook faster and there's no danger of overcooking the breast meat while you're waiting for the stuffing to reach the right temperature. If you stuff your bird, cook it immediately.
There are many types of stuffings - leek-lemon, apple-pecan, whole wheat-date, chestnut, almond, oyster, herbed-mushroom, apricot-rice, wild rice, potato - my favorite is -
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
11/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 eggs
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons bacon drippings
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir in cornmeal. Mix eggs with milk and bacon drippings; stir into flour mixture until well blended. Do not over beat. Pour into two greased 9-inch pans; bake in preheated 450-degree oven for 30 minutes. Cool; then crumble.
1 pound pork sausage
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon each sage and thyme
1/4 cup minced parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Fry the sausage over a low heat until lightly browned, breaking it into small pieces. Cook the onions and celery in same skillet. Remove from heat and add to the crumbled cornbread along with the sage thyme and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon into 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish; cover with foil and bake in preheated 325-degree oven 45 minutes or until it is heated through.
Makes enough stuffing for a 12- to 15-pound turkey.

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
8 cups bread crumbs
1 tablespoon tarragon or sage
1 cup minced parsley
1 tablespoon salt
11/2 tablespoons black pepper
Sauté onions and celery in butter. In a large bowl, combine onions and butter with the remaining ingredients. Makes enough stuffing for a 10-pound turkey.
Spoon into 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish; cover with foil and bake in preheated 325-degree oven 45 minutes or until it is heated through.

A fruit stuffing can be a delightful change.
1 pound whole wheat bread, torn into pieces and toasted
5 ounces macadamia nuts or pine nuts, toasted
1 cup currants
juice and zest of half an orange
16 ounces vegetable stock
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 small bunch fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped
Combine bread with nuts, currants, orange juice, orange zest and stock; stir until bread is just moistened. Set aside. Sauté celery, carrots and onions in 2 tablespoons butter until soft; stir occasionally. Add garlic and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Stir vegetables into bread mixture; add salt and pepper. Spread evenly in greased 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven 40 minutes. When almost cooked, sauté sage leaves in remaining butter until just crispy; sprinkle them evenly over top of stuffing when serving.

"Does every thing well, except the JPG algorithm."
on by Len_LundgrenPros Zoom is fantastic. Anti-shake enables almost full zoom hand held. In bright sunlight everything is great.
Cons JPG algorithm needs Nikon's very fine and raw settings, or make the normal setting very fine and raw the second.
Now the very fine algorithm makes extremely vivid jpg contours in cloddy/foggy shots. I down graded it from 5 to 3 on this alone.Summary The JPG algorithm has only 2 settings, Bad and Very bad, or Fine and Normal. I took a long distance photo on a cloudy/foggy day with the jpg set to fine. The photo came out as expected- foggy. There were some jpg contours, but not really noticeable. Of course the scene was not noticeable either. I used my image software clarifier - to clarify- and out popped the scene. unfortunately, the jpg contours also popped out, especially in the sky, rendering the photo useless.
NIKON, It is a small thing to add back the very fine and RAW settings. I know it will slow up the picture storage, but it is worth it. Change the P520 from a so-so(3) to a fine 5 camera. I rate it a 3, a very good fair weather friend.

Product Details Return to Top Tasting Notes This coffee boasts a distinct brightness in the forefront, yet it is well-rounded throughout. The bitter chocolate flavor is calmed by sweet caramel undertones and finishes with a lingering astringency. This coffee is friendly enough to drink black but just as friendly with a touch of milk and sweetener. Rating: 90 Points (out of 100)Aromatic notes of roasty chocolate, aromatic wood and remote fruitiness. Medium to full body, smooth mouthfeel and soft acidity that hints at brightness. A faint suggestion of flowers and sweet citrus in the cup round to fruit-toned chocolate. Finishes cleanly, with mild notes of toast, roastiness and cocoa in the long.— Kenneth Davids, CoffeeReview.com, September, 2009 About Tully's® Some professionals need to approach their jobs slowly and with a great deal of care. Like tightrope walkers. Or brain surgeons. Or tattoo artists. At Tully's®, the same holds true for creating great coffee. It takes a lot of time and patience, which is why we slow roast our coffee beans to gently coax out the complex flavors and aromas. With roots in the Pacific Northwest, where coffee is a way of life, we take our time in roasting and in training each master roaster in our artisanal approach. From the aroma to the full-bodied flavor, you can taste the time taken in every satisfying cup of Tully's. Now we invite you to take your time discovering it.

I bought the 80 pack K-Cup and it's a good thing that I can return it to the store I bought it at. It is EXTREMELY bitter and acidic. At first, I thought my coffee maker dumped melted plastic into it but that is not the case because I tried it with a french press too. It has a taste similar to soap, earwax, and something really acidic. I will most likely buy a darker roast of another brand even though I like medium roasts better.Comment on this review11/13/2013 5.0Tried and True By Morning Gloryfrom Irish Hills, MichiganAbout Me Average Joe, Coffee LoverProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyBalanced AcidityDelicious And ButteryExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesAutomatic Drip/FilterComments about Tully's Coffee Tully's House Blend Autodrip 12 oz.:I'm particular when it comes to good tasting coffee and having tried many brands and roast levels my husband and I both agree on the rich balanced flavor and Smooth almost buttery taste of this blend.

Bird Conservation
Get Involved
In 2008, two national surveys are being conducted to monitor for the potential presence of two types of virus in wild bird populations, Avian Influenza and West Nile Virus. If you find a dead wild bird, you can help! What should I report to my Government Wildlife Agency? 1. Groups of three or more dead birds (any species) found in the same geographic location. These wild bird mortalities should be reported by calling the National Avian Influenza Survey information line. Reports will be recorded and assessed to determine if further investigation is warranted. If it is, guidance will be provided on a case-by-case basis. What should I report to my Regional Health Authority?
Individual dead corvids, such as crows, jays, ravens and magpies, should be reported directly to your Regional Health Authority for West Nile Virus surveillance. See your telephone blue pages. What precautions should I take when collecting birds for submission? All birds must be in good diagnostic condition (i.e., there must be limited decomposition and scavenging). Dead birds must be handled using common sense sanitary precautions to reduce risks to human health. It is best to use a shovel. If a shovel is not available, use disposable gloves or inverted plastic bags, and then wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds to remove debris. Avoid contact with feces, blood, body fluids and sharp parts of the bird. For further information, please see websites listed under Human Health Concerns. Carcasses should be stored in double plastic bags. They should be clearly labeled with a tag indicating the date of death, the location where the bird was found and the species. Carcasses should be kept cool until further instructions are provided by the investigating Wildlife Agency representative. Click here for information on Nature Canada's position on the Bird Flu. |

In his State of the Union Address next week, President Obama will shift gears back to job creation after his inauguration speech focused on wider themes. As the debate about how the government can help the economy regain its pre-recession strength enters a new phase, the Kauffman Foundation's annual "State of Entrepreneurship Address" last week in Washington, DC, focused on how financial constraints have been blocking the success of new and young firms that create most of the net new jobs.
On the heels of the Kauffman Foundation's State of Entrepreneurship Address, a couple of Congressional committees are taking a closer look at the economy. The House Small Business Committee is conducting a hearing on The State of the Small Business Economy that will focus on "current economic indicators that measure the health of the economy, with a specific focus on access to capital… (and) general economic concerns that small business owners will face in the coming year." Meanwhile, the House Budget Committee will explore the Congressional Budget Office's budget and economic outlook with CBO director Douglas Elmendorf and the Senate Budget Committee will look at the budget and economic outlook over the next 10 years. Other hearings include: comprehensive immigration reform, applications for IT research and development; innovation in education; manufacturing in American; outlook on energy and a review of the government's approach toward unemployment.
