Crimean Tatars being forced to become Russian citizens
Wednesday, May 14, 2014
ANKARA - The leader of the Crimean Tatars has said they are being "forced" to change their nationalities and "become Russian citizens" since Russia's April annexation of Crimea.
"The occupiers are forcing us to become Russian citizens," Abdulcemil Kirimoglu said following a meeting with Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu Tuesday.
"They will not give us jobs if we disagree with them and they will discriminate us," Kirimoglu added.
Meanwhile Davutoglu has reiterated his concerns for Crimean Tatars saying that "Abdulcemil Kirimoglu should be able to enter the peninsula any time as the leader of Turks living there for centuries."
"The presence of Crimean Tatars must be guaranteed on the peninsula and they should be able to live there as the real owners of Crimea preserving their political, economic and cultural rights" he added.
The Tatar leader has been refused entry into the Crimean peninsula by Russian forces following its annexation of Crimea.

Hi everyone I wanted to ask a quick question about my "Favorite" Heroes Fiddlesticks and Sivir. Im playing this game now like 2-3 Day and i just dont understand how it comes that other players who got the same equipment do 3x the damage i do?
Is that normal or am i just not good enough with my heroes?
Thanks for the help
Senior Member
Never played Sivir so I can't say.. But I'm experiencing the same troubles with Fiddlesticks.. mind you I probably haven't played him for 100 matches or so, but whenever I ulted in I felt like I wasn't doing any damage.
So I turned to other characters, and decided I'd revisit them when my skill has improved..
Junior Member
It is not terribly balanced when you have not been playing too long and you face opponents with full rune pages and more points in their masteries.
A level 30 player (and lower level players to a lesser degree) will do way more dmg to you, take way less, or have way faster cooldowns and better mana regen because of masteries - not to mention runes).
Don't expect to take down enemy players as fast as other ppl who play your same champs just yet. Just focus on staying alive and working with your team, and with more levels you will catch up.
When a Fiddlesticks or Sivir wipes the floor with you, LOOK AT THEIR ITEMS. You can learn rune builds and mastery builds from forum guides, but the items you buy in the game matter more than either. Chances are, they're getting AP (for Fiddle) or +damage (for Sivir) items that you might not be investing in. Some of the more expensive ones are harder to earn as a starting player, since the temptation is to just buy the cheapest items possible to get an early advantage. But try one game where you just suck it up and save for a BF Sword as Sivir or an Abyssal Scepter as Fiddle and see what a difference it makes!
Masteries and runes don't matter as much as you seem to think, though they're nice. Really, the biggest change on summoner levelup is getting more new spells, because the higher-level spells (especially Flash!) are pretty nice. The others are just a small edge. Besides, I believe the matchmaking system takes level into account and tries, if possible, to avoid matching low-level summoners with high-level summoner games.
Looking at your item builds now...
Yeah, you don't go for much magic pen with Fiddle. AP is the only way Crowstorm really scales well for single-target damage, and it's decent for Drain and Crowstorm, but really, the Rod of Ages is all you need. I'd pass up the Tomes and go for a void staff, abyssal rod, something like that. I see a couple weird bits, like... stark's fervor? Zeal? Phage? Trying out new builds, I'm sure, but pass that **** up. You have no business autoattacking anything unless you have a meat wall in front of you and your skills are on CD, and that money could have been spent on AP or magic penetration. Rod of Ages and its health boost is good for Fiddlesticks, but you really only need enough to stay alive; Banshee's Veil, I see you've bought a few times, is also an acceptable choice. Look into other magic penetration items, though. If you're not doing much damage, someone's probably stacked magic resist on you, and penetration will do a lot more for you than AP will in that case.
When you warp through the jungle wall into a teamfight with Crowstorm, that should be the end of it. Either they scatter, focusfire you, or die; since Crowstorm doesn't require channeling once it goes off, you're free to Terrify, Dark Wind, and start Draining, which should help your survivability.
Here's another Fiddletip: your neutral monster kills stats are pathetic. Fiddlesticks is a tremendously efficient jungler. Whenever I have a moment, I'll slip into one of the weaker creep spawns and drop a Dark Wind. One dark wind at ability level 4 or 5 will usually wipe out wolves, wraiths, or regular golems with one shot, and that's free XP and gold for Fiddlesticks. If you have the time, it's pathetically easy to use Drain to solo lizard, golem, or (if it works on the dragon, I think it does) you can solo dragon. Learn when you can do it; missing a teamfight to kill a creep will get you yelled at, but sneaking around the jungle eating creeps for breakfast will keep the enemy team on their toes, because nobody's going to know when Fiddlesticks is going to blast out of the jungle with Crowstorm and instagib the squishies.
Fiddle is also pretty good if he's ambushed, since he has Terrify and Dark Wind to disable his attackers. If you have enough AP and magic pen going around, you can also sometimes just eat your would-be ambusher; people sometimes underestimate the DPS on Drain.
How did you see his item build?
Mr Spatula
Actually, I loaded up the client and did a lookup on the OP's name. Shows you their masteries and stuff, as well as their recent games; I just scrolled through some of those and noticed games where he'd bought things like stark's fervor on Fiddlesticks.
But for ingame purposes, yeah, you can also bring up the ingame menu and look someone up that way. If you REALLY want to, you can look them up in the client after the game and check out their summoner page.

UC Berkeley
Earth's magnetic field could reverse in just one lifetime
A new study by a team of scientists from Italy, France, Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley, demonstrates that the Earth's magnetic field could change polarity in less than 100 years. The last magnetic reversal occurred some 786,000 years ago and was previously thought to have taken several thousand years but, if the researchers are right, the real time it may take for the flip to occur could actually be closer to the span of a human life.

If you're trying to find out what the common features of tabby cats are, a Google image search will likely yield more results than you'd ever have the time or inclination to look over. New software created at the University of California, Berkeley, however, is designed to make such quests considerably easier. Known as AverageExplorer, it searches out thousands of images of a given subject, then amalgamates them into one composite "average" image. Read More
A series of three massive volcanic eruptions detected on the surface of Jupiter's moon Io in August last year, has the potential to yield insights into the formation process of the surface of Earth-like planets. By any standards, these eruptions were enormous, characterized as titanic curtains of lava issuing forth from fissures several miles in length, that spewed massive amounts of material high above the moon's surface.

In an age where reading something from a screen on a phone or a computer is a normal part of our daily lives, the wearing of glasses or contact lenses often makes doing so a chore with eye-strain problems and the necessity to carry around spectacles or lenses wherever you go. In this vein, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have created a prototype vision-correcting, printed pinhole matrix that they claim fits directly to a screen and negates the need for eyeglasses or remedial lenses and may one day offer improved visual acuity to those with eye problems much worse than simple farsightedness.

Graphene is frankly just showing off at this point. Not content with breezing in and smashing records in solar efficiency, kicking the butt of lithium-ion batteries, being the strongest known material in the Universe, being 1,000 times more light-sensitive than any known camera sensor and a thousand other achievements, now this smug supermaterial is having a crack at audio. How's it going? Well, with basically zero acoustic development, a graphene loudspeaker is already boasting a better frequency response curve than a set of Sennheiser MX-400s. Read More
Seafloor carpet mimics muddy seabed to harness wave power
Many organizations around the world are looking at ways to harness the power of waves as a renewable energy source, but none are covering quite the same ground as a team of engineers from the University of California (UC), Berkeley. The seafloor carpet, a system inspired by the wave absorbing abilities of a muddy seabed, has taken exploring the potential of wave power to some intriguing new depths. Read More
Toxin-detection system inspired by turkeys
Turkeys may not be everyone's idea of beautiful birds, but they certainly have colorful skin on their heads. What's more, that skin changes color with the animal's mood. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have now copied the process by which those color changes occur, and used it to create a biosensor that could be used to detect airborne toxins.

Bookmakers may be revising their odds on the question of us being alone in the Universe after scientists revealed that our galaxy could hold billions of habitable worlds. University of California Berkeley and University of Hawaii (UH) astronomers carried out a study using data from NASA's Kepler space telescope to provide part of the answer to the question, "How many of the 200 billion stars in our galaxy have potentially habitable planets?" The answer they got back was that one in five sun-like stars may have Earth-size planets that could support life. Read More

Nature has been the source of inspiration for a variety of different forms of robotic locomotion. Yet another example is the STAR, a 3D-printed robot modeled after an insect's ability to squeeze into even the tiniest spaces. Developed by students at UC Berkeley's Biomimetic Millisystems Lab the STAR, which stands for Sprawl Tuned Autonomous Robot, is able to flatten its legs down to slip under a small gap and then raise them up again to climb over larger obstacles.

Many homes are falling apart because their owners cannot afford to maintain them.
Dugout canoes are a common mode of transportation on the lagoons and rivers around Prince's Town.
Their dark shoulders decorated with stripes of white clay, young women dance at a town gathering. Residents are poor, but proud of their heritage.
Fredericksburg's new sister city, Prince's Town, is a poor and remote village on the coast of Ghana in West Africa,
VIDEO: Scenes from Ghana: a multimedia presentation
PHOTOS: View dozens of BONUS IMAGES from Ghana
PRINCE'S TOWN, Ghana--It is simple to list the similarities between this town by the sea in West Africa and its new sister city of Fredericksburg 5,000 miles away.
There are none.
The city in Virginia and the town in Ghana have almost nothing in common aside from their sister-city proclamations of last year.
By Fredericksburg standards, Prince's Town is remote and poor almost beyond belief.
Many of Prince's Town's 3,000 people make less than Ghana's average per-capita income of $450 a year. Most people in Fredericksburg make that much or more each week.
Prince's Town lies 164 miles west of Ghana's capital of Accra on a palm-fringed coast dotted with old forts and castles. Europeans seeking African gold and slaves built the forts centuries ago.
The main coastal road is paved, but the branch to Prince's Town is not. The 11-mile home stretch is variously bumpy, dusty, steep, muddy, slippery, submerged and occasionally impassable.
Prince's Town has electricity, but not much of it. Like the rest of Ghana, the town is subject to rolling blackouts. Droughts have drawn down Lake Volta, the source of most of the country's electric power.
Many houses in Prince's Town have electric lights. Some even have televisions with antennas mounted atop tall bamboo poles. A few houses have small refrigerators.
But the single transformer that serves the town is not sufficient. Street lights trip the breaker. What power there is is single-phase, not suitable for running motors.
Internet service in Prince's Town? Forget it.
Prince's Town does not even have land-line telephone service. Cell phone users can sometimes make a connection from the tall battlements of Fort Gross-Friedrichsburg on a rocky ledge by the sea at the edge of the town.two princes, two towns
Germans built the stone fort in 1683 and named it after their Brandenburg prince. Fredericksburg was named in 1727 after his cousin, an English prince.
The mutual desire of Africans and African-Americans to reconnect their heritage after centuries of separation led to the sister-city relationship between the disparate places.
Historians estimate that 677,000 people from the Gold Coast, Ghana's name in colonial times, were sold into slavery in the 18th century. Their journeys of no return led many of them through the dungeon of the fort at Prince's Town.
The dungeon's outside door is now unhinged. The dark, low-vaulted cellar is full of bats.
The fort offers a bird's-eye view of the weather-worn town below. Most of the houses are one-story. The mud walls of some of them have collapsed because their owners cannot afford to maintain them. The streets are mostly winding, sandy paths.
The drab, squalid town sits amid tropical splendor about 300 miles north of the equator.
Great breakers crash on wide, white-sand beaches as far as the eye can see. On one side of town, two sluggish rivers, the Kpani [ka-PAHN-ni] and the Nyila [nah-YI-la], join just before they reach the sea.
On the other side of town, mangroves surround the deep Ehunli [eh-HOON-li] Lagoon, where crocodiles, reportedly docile, are protected as sacred beings by fetish priests and most people.
However, there's always trouble in paradise.
A disease has killed many of the coconut palms from which families in Prince's Town once derived substantial income.
Farms outside of town, where residents head most mornings by foot or dugout canoe, are being gobbled up in 99-year-long leases by a giant rubber plantation.
Gold mining threatens a nearby national forest reserve.finding new friends
The list of things that Fredericksburg has and Prince's Town lacks could fill this paper. Unlike in its sister city, there are no fat people in Prince's Town.
Children in crisp, clean uniforms attend the town's primary and junior secondary schools for the first nine years of their education.
But teenagers must leave town to find higher schooling elsewhere. Most of them will never return to live in Prince's Town because the town has no jobs to offer.
The nearest hospital is more than an hour away, assuming a sick or injured person can find transportation to reach it. There is no rescue squad. No post office. No fire department. No police.
There is virtually no crime, either. A thief can expect to be nabbed and beaten by villagers and held for hours until the cops show up from a station 20 miles away.
Young children wander in perfect safety throughout town accompanied by goats, chickens and dogs.
There is no traffic to speak of. Few people own cars. The town's annual traffic jam occurs in October, when hundreds of people with ties to the town come home for a festival.
But judging Prince's Town by the things it lacks somehow misses much more important points. After all, there's more to life than just things.
The Prince's Town people are unfailingly kind, hospitable, friendly, courteous, well-mannered, dignified and quick to smile and laugh.
They are as proud of their own long, rich and complex history as Fredericksburg residents are of theirs.
Prince's Town's leaders recognize the town's shortcomings and are earnestly seeking, against all odds, to find ways to make life better.
Because of the sister-city relationship, everyone in town now knows the name "Fredericksburg, Virginia" [FRED-er-reeks-burg, ver-GEE-nee-a]. Even the children.
As new and ill-defined as it is, the sister-city relationship shines like a faraway beacon of hope for the people of Prince's Town, a tenuous link to America and better days ahead.
"My friend! My friend!" the children cried when they ran to welcome an American stranger, their hands outstretched in greeting.

The name of Fredericksburg's sister city in Ghana has several spellings. Is it Princes Town, Prince's Town or Princess Town?
In my recent conversations with well-educated English-speaking natives, all agreed that the name means "the town of the prince" and that the name should be written "Prince's Town."
In this case, the prince was the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenberg, who authorized the building of the fort in the town in the 17th century.
When I was there, banners strung over the street welcomed American visitors to "Prince's Town." John Atkins also called it "Prince's Town" in his 1735 book "A Voyage to Guinea." So that's the way I'm spelling it.
But it is "Princess Town" on a road sign, an environmental report, the Web site of Ghana's Ahanta West district and signs at a school and health clinic in town.
My host Alfred Kaku Aluade Acquah said, "'Prince's Town' with the apostrophe 's' was the way we were taught to write it in school. Princess Town is a spelling that has come lately."
Nevertheless, a few days later Acquah wrote out a receipt and spelled it "Princess Town."--Frank Delano

I'd like to set up a machine that can be used to scan USB drives before they are plugged into a networked machine.
Now I could leave it disconneted from network and then once a week plug it back in and update its av engine but I wouldn't mind a more automatic solution.
1. Anyway of setting up a machine so its just get av and windows updates but prevents other traffic (Simple hosts files entries maybe?)
2. Auto scan USB Drive on insertion.
Anyone got such an arrangement or know how to set one up?

A remake of the 1976 film by the same name, minus the word "The".
If there isn't (wasn't at the time) a better person to play Buttermaker in the remade film than Billy Bob Thornton, I don't know who it would be.
Thornton is the perfect drunk and screw up!
I really liked this film when I first watched it. While I still enjoyed it the second time around, I didn't like it nearly as much.
Entertaining and funny in parts, but you can only watch one, watch the original instead.

Favourite pizza topping combos?
- AmandaEd Jan 22, 2007 11:16 PM
I can go "haute" but I can also go as trailer-park as they come with my favourite pizza topping combinations. What are your faves?
re: SarahEats
That sounds delicious! How do you cook the chicken in the hot sauce.
re: SarahEats
Here is a good recipe if you like buffalo chicken! (calzone!)
(Get a bag of buffalo chicken in the freeze section or get some from the deli.)
roll out you dough for a large pizza.
Put cut up chicken, blue cheese crumbles, franks hot sauce, mozzarella cheese and if you want to make your calzone juicier in the middle add some blue cheese dressing. I do not measure anything out but you want to have a nice stuffed calzone.
Fold the dough in half, pinch the seam and bake!
Enjoy!!! This is called a blue zone!!!
More "haute" - homemade white olive oil with spinach, garlic, and feta cheese
More traditional - pepperoni, ground (breakfast) sausage and/or ground beef, and jalapeno
Also bacon pizza.
re: another_adam
Raw potatoes? Hmm. Sounds interesting.
re: GDSinPA
If sliced thin enough (we're basically talking mandoline thin here) and tossed with a little olive oil and seasoning, they get plenty cooked enough in a pizza-hot oven!
re: penguinista
YUM-MY! Even without the meat.
re: penguinista
mmm! I agree with the carmelized onions...and thinly sliced salami, arugula, some tiny sweet tomatoes...
spinach, chicken and garlic, no tomato sauce
sun dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and fresh mozzarella on a crust spread with olive tapenade
fresh veggies (any combination) on a crust topped with thin tomato slices (again, no tomato sauce)
and for my standard pizza toppings:
sausage and green peppers
Italian Sausage and mushrooms
italian sausage, italian beef, green peppers, and giardineria peppers..
Balsamic soaked figs, sliced razor thin. Artichoke hearts and fennel under parma proscuitto with a generous sprinkling of gorgonzola and drizzled virgin olive oil
re: andlulu
what the heck is "Pink Sauce"?
Eggplant and crumbled Italian sausage
Pepperoni and chopped Kalamata olives
Bacon (precooked) and broccoli
Mushroom, onion (both precooked) and peppers
Pepperoni and mushrooms (lightly sauteed in olive oil, fresh, or even canned) and a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil.
For me is a blend of "real pork" smoked sausage and a regular seasoned breakfast type. Combo meat, in other words.
If anyone has used the smoked sausage it is a rather rich topping. It is a must to press the grease out, to the point of being dry and crumbly. Purnell makes a bulk chub and others make smoked links. Links need to be ground in a food processor prior to parboiling. Parboiling will assist in pressing out the grease if cheese cloth or from some clean scrap cloth.
Why the trouble, you probably are asking... It is 3 times better than a bacon and regular sausage pizza. The smoked sausage is a trade off from the bacon in this recipe.
Green pepper and onion is a second favorite combo topping, but after the combo meat.
gorgonzola, art hearts, prosciutto, red onion, tomato
sundried tomato, kalamata olives, art hearts, spinach, feta on pesto base
eggplant, fresh tomato, basil and feta on thin crust with alfredo sauce
carmelized onion with red sauce and mozzarella on thick cracked black pepper crust
Pepperoni & mushroom on thick crust
Layered olive oil, sage leaves, paper thin sliced potatoes, salt, pepper and fontina on thin crust.
re: cheesymama
Parsley pesto (with a 2 to 1 ratio of pecorino to Parmesan) as a base, topped with thinly sliced zucchini and chopped anchovies.
I used to be a pepperoni w/extra cheese until I found this combination.
grilled chicken breast
red/green bell pepper
thin sliced red onion
all layered on a bed of white garlic sauce, (similar to Alfredo) with thick crust.
Shredded canned tomato (no sauce), carmelized onions, very thinly sliced thin-skinned orange. Top cooked pizza with anchovies, olives, or proscuitto.
My mom's a fan of pepperoni, green pepper, and black olive. That's pretty good. I go for straight pepperoni (boring, I know), though in Hawaii I got turned on to pepperoni and pineapple. It's great, though not the sort of thing I have too often...
mozzarella, ricotta, anchovies, red pepper flakes (no tomato sauce). But it must be on a good NY-style pie.
Trader Joe's roasted red pepper-artichoke heart spread makes a great pizza topping (also good mixed into pasta.) I use that instead of sauce sometimes. Artichoke hearts by themselves are great too.
Tomato and bacon
Sausage and pineapple
Garlic, olive oil, lime, avacado, and fried green tomatoes (no red sauce)
Sardines, red onions, black olives.
It's my standby topping list, something I can get when I order pizza just about anywhere. I enjoy trying different things where I can get it, but if someone's ordering a pizza that's my request. Now, ask me if my friends usually comply.
Believe me, you do a disservice to a good pizza by putting a bunch of glop on it. What's a good pizza you say? One that's made with the proper ingredients:
- Homemade dough using high gluten flour
- Tinned San Marzano DOP tomatoes or close substitute
- Quality mozzarella
See the folks at this site, that's where I learned it.
I agree that you shouldn't put too much stuff on a single pie, but as far as ingredients go, I say all's fair. But I'm a sucker for wild mushrooms.
The very best pizza I've ever eaten was at a place in Redlands, CA. (Named the Gay 90's, I think, but, it has been 33 years, and, my memory may be fading) --They had large chunks of Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, peppers, and CHASHEWS; it was fabuous, and has taught me that cashews belong on pizza!
re: primebeefisgood
Your memory is pretty good...EXCEPT there were no peppers on that pizza...it was sausage, pepperoni, onions and cashews. It was called the "Dave's Special".....and I've been on a quest since I moved from Redlands in 1983 to find anything as good. So far, I've failed. It was the Holy Grail of Pizzas, the Best There Ever Was.....and mimicked but never duplicated at other Inland Empire pizzerias....I've tried pizza at the famous NY and Chicago establishments and everyplace else from coast to coast without finding an equal.
re: Jabber95125
I grew up in Redlands and was weaned on the Dave's Special. You are so right, Jabber95125, it is the Holy Grail (for many of us who have been searching for it ever since Gay 90s went out of business). There was something special about the spices in the sauce, too. And the crust...ahhhhh!
Well, check it out. The original owner of Gay 90s, after selling the Redlands digs in the 70s, moved up to Washington state and opened a place called Dirty Dave's. I just found out about it recently and visited there this past June, 2009. They have the Gay 90s Special (their name for the Dave's Special, which is something else up there). It is good. Not quite like the old original. I think it had something to do with the oven they had at Gay 90s in Redlands. Also, I remember there being cornmeal on the bottom of the crust at Gay 90s. They didn't have it at Dirty Dave's. But it's good and pretty close and the folks there were really nice to me.
Oh, and also...there are a number of places in the Redlands area that still serve up that combo. Again, not the same but, well, what can you do?
Have you ever gone into a "normal" pizza place with a little baggie of cashews...begging them to put them on for you? If so, you are far from alone!
re: MagicMistic
re: ptrudge
Went in as a group after all of our basketball games - mixed it with copious amounts of beer !!!
Good times !!
re: primebeefisgood
In the early 70's I worked at Shakeys Pizza down the street. We had all the free pizza we could eat. I would still go to gay's for a pizza. I have eaten pizza the world over, the cashew, pepperoni, sausage, and onion pizza was the best. I really miss that place. I wish I could find their recipe book for the sauce, sausage and dough. If you do try the cashews use raw ones.
The full name was "Dave's Fabulous gay 90's Pizza Parlor" know only as Gay's to the locals.
re: jimdod
I'm pretty sure this is where "gay's" went. I researched a little and found
Dirty Dave's gay 90's in Olympia Washington
re: jimdod
You are correct, jimdod. Dirty Dave's in Olympia (Lacey) is where Dave Wilson opened up shop, after selling Gay 90s in Redlands.
I've actually been there twice!
The "ambience" is not quite as hole-in-the-wall wonderful as it was in Redlands, but there are similarities. He even reused a bunch of the posters that adorned the walls of the old Gay 90s, but it is a bit cleaner and lighter...just sort of "sanitized" if you will.
Their pizza and other items were quite tasty, and of course cashews are prominent on the menu. On their menu, the old Dave's Special is called the Gay 90s Special as a tribute to the original location.
A homemade crust spread with olive oil, sliced garlic, and basil; then topped with feta, black olives, pickled banana peppers, cubed fresh tomatoes, and red onions (if you fancy them, I perper without).
re: thinks too much
I put a feta walnut pizza - thin crust, olive oil base, mozzarella, feta, drizzled after cooking with walnut oil and sprinkled with toasted walnuts, no tomato sauce - on the menu at my pizza restaurant. Only one person has dared order it in the three months or so it's been on the menu. What a shame, because nuts really work on certain pizzas. On the other hand, the goat cheese/pine nut combinations sell really well.
re: NeNePie
One of my favorite combos when I make my own pizza is spinach, walnuts, marinated artichoke hearts. I do use a tomato sauce and cheese, though. Plenty of garlic and some basil and rosemary, as well.
pyrogy pizza - potato, bacon, garlic and sour cream but i live in japan where they have wild and wonderful toppings. squid and black olive with shiso isn't bad at all.
My favorite pizza of all time is either Naples style san marzano tomatoe, buffalo milk mozzarella and fresh basil and beautiful extra virgin olive oil, or boscaiolo, which is done in one of the best pizzarias in Italy, in Perugia no less, called Metropolitano. (I think the owner and pizza makers (both the dough guy and the equally important wood burning oven guy) are from Naples, so there you go.) The pizza is fresh artichoke, mushroom, roasted red pepper, roasted eggplant, fresh moz., basil, and parmigiano reggiano. The serve it with the perfect dry, and just a little bit frizzante, white wine. It's giving me a heavy heart just thinking about the place. fayefood.com
When ordering out, eggplant and carmalized onions...or mushroom, onion and meatball.
At home, I make grilled pizza in the summer with vidalia fig and onion sauce from Stonewall Kitchen, prosciutto and goat cheese.
thin base. puttanesca sauce, pepperoni, anchovies, capers, green olives, chillie flakes, raw red onion. yum yum.
(No sauce) Smoked mozzarella + sauteed onions + black pepper. In the hot oven, the onions get brown and crisp on the ends, and, oh so good!
Chicken, carmelized onions and crumbled blue or smoked gouda on bbq sauce
fried eggplant rounds with olives
linguica and pastrami if I want extra meaty richness
beef and onion
fresh tomato and fresh garlic
and sometimes I just feel like extra cheese, extra sauce, and an ice cold pepsi
re: wino22
I like your ideas a lot!
Crumbled Wise BBQ an Onion & Garlic potato chips, or a room temp can of Franco American spagetii, or HoJo's (or the like) fried clams pan fried in a ton of butter with some garlic powder,or extra cheese, onions and pepperoni slightly burnt on top. Sometimes a combo of the above. Always with a well done crust.
I had this combo at Woodfire Pizza in Sydney years ago (mid nineties) and have never forgotten how good it was. Black Forest Ham with Brie, tomato salsa and sliced avocado. More like a wood fired flat bread really but man it was good!
Tonight's "farmer's market" pizza, from bottom to top: garlic & herb crust; thinly sliced rounds of cousa squash; thinly sliced fennel; diced mushrooms; chopped scallions; seeded diced fresh tomatoes, left to marinate for 30 min with minced garlic, e.v. olive oil, good balsamic, salt, pepper, parsely, and sage; chunks of spicy lamb sausage (also from the farmer's market); aleppo pepper flakes; a drizzle of olive oil; and after it emerged from the oven, a sprinkling of finely fresh chopped basil, thyme, and chives. Yum!
Corn (fresh cut from the cob), spicy Italian salami, a few thin sliced onions... thin crust with a bit of olive oil and fontina cheese. A wonderful sweet - spicy taste.
re: rcallner
and fresh mozzarella
I make a couple of pizza's that I like, the first using caponata instead of tomato sauce and the other (my favorite) is crushed whole canned tomatoes (get rid of as much of the liquid as you can), moz and smoked oysters (yup, the ones in the flat can). Sounds odd, but it's delicious.
My favorite lately is grilled chicken (seasoned with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper), ricotta cheese, basil, and bacon over red sauce and mozzarella parmigiano. Of course, I usually "hide" the basil under the cheese layer to keep it flavorful.
And a bacon and carmelized (or not) onion pizza is fantastic, too.
My everyday favorite is good ol pepperoni...but occasionally there is just nothing better than a pizza topped with goat cheese, arugula, and red onion...Ummm
Right now it's garlic olive oil topped with gruyere, caramelized onions, baked butternut squash slices, then baked, and five minutes before done, add fried (in butter) sage strips and parmesan bread crumbs and return to over to brown.
Also love sundried tomato tapenade, grilled garlic eggplant, ricotta cheese, fontina, mozzarella, and parmesan.
re: bakergal
I peel the butternut squash, then slice it into rounds, layer it on a baking sheet, and bake until almost done.
While it's baking, I heat olive oil in a pan, and stirfry it with garlic. I also caramelize the onions separately. At the same time, I heat some butter and sometimes combine with olive oil in a pan and fry the sage strips until crispy.
Take pizza dough and spread with garlic olive oil. Layer on gruyere, then caramelized onions, butternut squash rounds, a little more gruyere (can also add mozzarella if you like), then bake til almost done. I mix up regular bread crumbs (or pankos if I've got em) with grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the cheesy crumbs and the sage strips on top of the pizza and bake til golden brown. [Personally I can't stand blue cheese, but for my best friend who loves it, I will also add blue cheese crumbles when I add the crumbs and sage.]
Happy Pizza-ing! Hope that helps!
When I lived in Palm Beach I always got the chicken spinaci at my fave pizza joint. It consisted of extremely garlicky olive oil, mozzarella, baby spinach, grilled chicken, finely diced bacon, incredibly thinly sliced onion, and very finely diced tomatoes. And yes, the dice size and degree of slice made ALL the difference =)
re: bakergal
Sauteed in some garlic, butter, olive oil, with a dash of nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon. It just makes it so much more interesting.
Or, you can use baby spinach and just let the heat of the pizza wilt it.
re: TexasToast
Thanks, TexasToast. I'll have to try both ways. The whole idea is very intriguing...
re: bakergal
Second that recommendation for the spinach - sauteed and juicy, it's wonderful on pizza
I only use a very thin layer of red sauce, mozzarella and goat cheese, pesto on top, baby shrimp and chopped black olives YUMMMMM
Haute: I just like a simple margherita with tomatoes (not tomato sauce!), buffalo mozarrella, and basil.
Basic: Pepperoni, tomatoes, and onion
I usually do one ingredient pizzas with my favorite ingredients: pineapple or mushroom, but I've never tried the two together!
re: mixmastermidori
The way I've always had it at italian places was with tomato sauce & mozzarella. They were just very thin crust pizzas with a very thin layer of the tomato sauce & a little sprinkle of mozzarella. tasty!!
reading all the creative responses, mine is terribly boring, but here's my combo:
cracklin' bacon -- HAS TO BE cracklin'
blackened chicken or shrimp
thinly cut pineapple, sometimes briefly charred before it's cut
on a thin crust pizza. oh, and the sauce has got to be fresh, not canned tasting.
amazingly enough, i've successfully trained my local pizza parlor to do this for me. Of course, they charge quite abit extra.
re: Beignets
Bacon is good, but lately, TT's been using oak-roasted cherry tomatoes which when crisp, have tons of smokey flavor, but less calories than bacon.
There's a place where I live that does ground beef, tons of prosciutto, red pepper, onion, cheddar, and provolone on a thick crust with some dried basil in it. I might choose that one for my last meal it's so good.
Mix chopped garlic, EVOO and a bit of apricot jam for a THIN sauce, add cooked chicken, scallions and a white cheese.
re: scuzzo
Seriously?! On pizza?
Whole-wheat sourdough crust, alfredo sauce, chopped spinach, sliced mushroom, red bell pepper, mozzarella & asiago cheese, and a little ground black pepper. My kids like the homemade pizza so much we rarely buy pizza out anymore. I never thought I'd get them to eat spinach on a pizza, and now they ask for it.
re: podunkboy
Gorgonzola dolce with toasted pignoli nuts, carmelized onions and a touch of balsamic. OR carmelized mushroom and onions, fresh thyme, talleggio cheese on a whole wheat crust. The nuttiness of the crust is a perfect complement to the cheese....now I have to make a pizza. @!@%&*!&#
Classicism and simplicity: onions, green or red bell peppers, tomato sauce, parmesan, mozzarella, oregano, and olive oil.
Pesto, topped with artichoke hearts, lots of good feta cheese and grated parmesan. Sometimes I add sun-dried tomato pieces, or sauted onion, cooked until golden.
Curry powder and olive oil base with kale, mozzarela, enochi mushrooms, onions and a smokey meat (ham works well).
re: reannd
my absolute favourite: I cut butternut squash into small cubes, than roast with olive oil, fresh sage leaves and whole cloves of garlic. Then I top dough with a tangy tomato sauce, the squash mixture, and small dollops of goat cheese, along with some more fresh sage leaves. I could eat it forever!
Homemade thin crust, top with pesto , add mixture of mozza and fresh parmigiano. Top with meditteranean veggies ( diced fresh tomato, artichoke hearts, julienne tri-colour peppers, sliced red onion, marinated in garlic olive oil and basil), more cheese mix, black kalamata olives, chopped sun-dried tomato. YUM!!
re: missheatha2002
Call me a stick in the mud, but so many of these haute toppings, although delicious, are better suited to a panini. To me the best pizza ia a thin crunchy crust slathered with
marinara sauce, vedalia onions, succulent sausage and topped with a thick layer of mozarella and provolone cheese. Drooling....
re: missheatha2002
here is one for you BBQ base, sprinkle cheese mix (2 kind of mottz, parm, fontina), add boiled or smoked chicken, add portabella mushrooms (julianed), add red caramalized onion, and then chopped up japapinos, more cheese mix and cook.
I call it The Big Lawiki
pizza's on the brain since i'm making it tonight for din - i do a variation of a pizza that i've seen on the boards - i roast and then mash butternut squash and garlic cloves together. that's used as a base. i then top with carmelized onions, fried sage, goat cheese and sometimes prosciutto-i'm so freakin hungry right now...
A little boring but reliably good: pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onion and mushroom.
Less greasy, more zingy: pineapple and banana peppers
I made 11 different pizzas from some of the great ideas you all posted!

In Defense of Peyton: Screw it, I'm starting a thread
But i just feel the need.
I've never seen a fanbase turn on its best player so quickly. Obviously this doesn't go for all of you, but a lot are placing the blame on Manning and I have no clue why.
Yes, he wasn't perfect yesterday. Far from it. But, as ive said a bunch, he had a 100 rating going into that last Raven drive. He lead a beautiful drive to put us up 35-28. And, again, the Broncos win chances were 97.2 percent when Flacco let go of his hail mary or whatever you wanna call it. Again, we lost on a fluke play.
This guy transformed our team into a contender. Had that fluke play not happened, we'd all be talking about Peyton's good, but not perfect game and his gutty performance in some awful conditions (it was beyond cold in that stadium).
But, instead, a lot of you are whining and b****ing, and at least one of you would like to see Brock Osweiler as our QB next year.
Yes, he wasn't PERFECT, but if you're pointing fingers for yesterdays loss, you're gonna need to get to the second hand before you point to Peyton.
I agree.
All three turnovers were his fault.
Talk all you want about how close the game was, but the only reason it was as close as it was and not a blow out by the Ravens was because Trindon Holliday put up 14 points because Manning's offense was inept.
AGAIN. 100 rating, 3 tds before that Flacco heave.
Also, if we're talkng about the turnovers...one was on a tipped pass when deck got mugged, and one should have never occured (though it was a **** throw), because the game should have been over.
he was not perfect, but would you really want someone else guiding the broncos next season? If the answer is yes, you're ****ing crazy.
Other than Trindon Holliday, it was a team-wide choke job, including the coaching staff. It seemed to me that after that bogus PI call on Carter in the first half, the steam just went out of the team. From that moment on, they were waiting for disaster, instead of fighting for glory. Manning was part of that failure as well, but not all of it, by any means. If I had to say who was number one in the blame column, I would have to say the D, and especially the secondary starring Champ Bailey. What a pathetic performance.
On the other hand, you've got to underscore how important the loss of Moreno was. That was a critical loss to the offense.
What a joke of a fanbase.
He was great this year.
His play yesterday wasn't too hot.
It was a factor in the loss.
We wasted a huge chance for a 3rd ring.
People will be pissed for months and he along with others will receive some blame and anger.
Deal with it. It's not going away. Let it go. This is actually fairly mild.
I'm sick and tired of watching the Peyton defenders exert themselves trying desperately to move the goalposts as far as possible.
He was supposed to make this team a Super Bowl contender, that was the entire argument from the moment you idiots threw Tebow under the bus.
Manning was supposed to turn this team immediately into a Super Bowl threat, and he hasn't.
The reality is that he's incapable of winning a Super Bowl in his current state, he's not as good as Brady, or Rodgers, or even Russell Wilson at this point.
I doubt the Broncos can get a better QB than Manning at this point, but they need to start looking as soon as possible.
35 points.... No one would of thought the broncos would lose if they scored 35 points. Team effort to screw up that much. Manning played good enough to win but made a few mistakes to aid in a loss.
Any given Sunday.
Im still in disbelief that anyone would think otherwise. And, as ive said a gazillion times, had the broncos played a lick of D on that last drive, this conversation isn't happening and we're all happy with him.
I understand SoCal's point. People are pissed. I get why they are pissed. Doesn't mean they are being rational.
Oh and as someone brought up yesterday, Elway had the same monkey on his back at the same age...under the same circumstances. Then again, Peyton has already WON a super bowl.
All this is very non sensical to me.
I'll tell you one thing, I will not trust this team next year, and I will not be involved emotionally as much as I was this year. Can I trust them to go 16 and O and then not fold in the first playoff game? No.
Unless they get lucky and pick up another Terrell Davis in the 6th round. ;D
I don't think it's the fan base going after Peyton.
Just some internet posters who can't deal. I think, as a whole, the Broncos fan base knows we have a good thing here. Some of us just deal w/disappointment better than others.
Team wide choke job. Everyone is to blame except Holliday and the special teams play in general.
Manning is never a good playoff QB..If not for our great shanny and it's defense, his records would have been pathetic.
His play drops drastically once playoff starts. compared to his brother who is clutch in playoffs.

Stuck around an hour and a half after a devastating loss just to congratulate Ray Lewis.
Pure class.
I know it fits a neat little narrative to blame him and cite his playoff record, etc etc, but football games have tons of variables. Sorry, i just choose to look at it from a lot of angles other than "well, the broncos lost, Peyton's the QB, must be his fault."
He didn't even play well when indy won SB.
He is 0-4 when the temperate is 40F or less.
He can't play in snow/cold temperatures.
The same can be said about John Fox , Marty, Favre, Tony Romo etc..
These guys screw up during pressure situations.

text: Chinese Basketball Association Suspends Tracy McGrady for Calling Referees Three 'Blind Mice' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 12 Jan 2013 post a comment After Chinese referees botched a call to cost Tracy McGrady's team a victory earlier this week, McGrady took to his Chinese social media account on Tuesday and referred to game's referees as the three "blind mice." He also threatened to not come back to the Chinese Basketball Association next season if the officiating does not get better. For his comments, the Chinese Basketball Association suspended McGrady for one game because his post was deemed to have had an "adverse social impact." The league fined McGrady $1,600. It also suspended the head referee McGrady criticized for 10 games and his two assistants for five. On Weibo, which is China's equivalent to Twitter, McGrady wrote: "This bad officiating has to change. No way I'm coming back if the officiating continues to be this errant. CBA has to do a better job with these officials. My team plays hard every night and the blind mice take it away from us" McGrady is a two-time NBA scoring champion.

'The user profile service service failed the logon....'
and then it continues on to say 'User profile cannot be loaded'
So when i logged onto my computer today as normal, the screen was black and im sure it had a little window open which said 'Loading personalised settings' and then after that, im sure i seen a window which said 'Windows 7 service pack 1 now available' and then when my desktop came on, the wallpaper had been changed to default, literally all my icons had disappeared, there was nothing in my pictures or downloads folder which is were i keep my downloaded movies and series, and Google chrome wasnt there and instead internet explorer was, kinda like my computer had been reset to factory default.
But some of my games was still on the desktop, and skype was there, and when i double clicked skype it started installing it. So i have restarted my computer a few times, shut it down and started it up again and same thing, and i looked at the most recent windows updates and the latest one had been installed on the 10th of October 2013 so that surely cant't be the problem? I should also mention that i checked the hard drive and it had the same memory like everything was still on it, 23gb left of 297gb, the same with my other hard drive, the memory was still the same. And now it isnt logging me into my profile at all, its saying what i mentioned at the very top,
''The user profile service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded'
What is the problem here and how can it be fixed? If it can, thank you for any help or advice!

Congratulations on the sub 150 wipe kill.
Good job on the kill guys since we killed thok for the first time in feb, it's taken a long time to rebuild the raiding team. We had more than 13 raiders leave the game/take breaks or just quit before we could progress on Siegecrafter, I guess some people didn't want to progress on the hard shit :P.
Anyway those that stayed on through gearing new people and learning them the hc tactics thank you for that , we are now in a position to finish off the tier strongly. I'm confident we can do it with the people we have :).

The Startup America Partnership already has received hundreds
of millions dollars' worth of commitments from private-sector companies
for entrepreneurial education, training, and mentorship programs.
On the government side of this effort, the Small Business
Administration recently proposed rules for a new venture capital program
that will target early-stage companies. Roundtables held around the
country as part of the Startup America initiative also generated ideas
that got the attention of the president—including legislation to make it
easier for new ventures to use crowdfunding to raise capital. That
bill, which Obama endorsed, passed the House this year.
Perhaps most importantly, the Startup America initiative
brought attention to the fact that not all small businesses are created
equal—innovative firms with high-growth potential deserve special
attention because they're the ones that create the most new jobs.

Non profit hopes arrests at old Detroit Police Department building stops break-ins, thefts
Updated On: Apr 02 2013 06:13:11 PM EDT
Only Local 4 cameras were there Tuesday morning when Detroit police found two vans running outside an old police department building on McGraw Street on the city's west side.
At least one man was inside the building trying to steal anything he could sell for scrap. Arrests were made.
The building once was a vital piece of the Detroit Police Department and home to the department's Gang Squad.
Since 2004, the building has been empty. Neighbors say it gets broken into on a weekly basis.
Social workers at the Family Alliance For Change across the street say they are being stolen from week after week, too. They can't take it any longer.
"It was a great loss," said a woman with the alliance.
The Family Alliance For Change does the vital and hard work of trying to reunite parents with children in foster care. They also work with families that are suffering from emotional problems.
Their work now is much more difficult after the office's computers were stolen. The front doors were smashed in last week. Boxes of donated clothing were bumped out so the burglars could carry out the computers.
The building's security system is no help because the thieves stole most of the video monitors during another recent break-in.
The families going to the alliance for help also have been victimized.
"When the parents park outside, when they leave as well, some of their catalytic converters are stolen off of the cars. It's very sad" said the woman with the alliance.
The group, a non profit, does not have the money to replace all the equipment they need. The group believes the same men stealing from the old DPD building have been stealing from them. They hope the arrests made Tuesday will put an end to the stealing spree.

Baby, what a lesson! Kids learn a little empathy
In 47 classrooms around Puget Sound, in seven public-school districts and seven private schools, babies are part of the learning experience.
Seattle Times staff columnist
What makes Asa Berg such an effective third-grade teacher is that he is not quite 11 months old.
It's an ideal age for the subject he's been teaching for more than half his life. The course is called Roots of Empathy. Asa is teaching the students about emotions, and his are right on the surface, easy to observe.
In 47 classrooms around Puget Sound, in seven public-school districts and seven private schools, babies are part of the learning experience.
The idea, which began in Canada and is spreading in the United States, is that children need to learn more than letters and numbers, they need emotional and social literacy in order to learn well now, and to grow into good parents and constructive citizens.
Asa's mother, Deana Berg, brings him to Seattle's Beacon Hill International School once a month for a visit with the children. They enter the room and students start calling out, "Baby Asa, Baby Asa."
They've fallen in love with him since he started coming to class last fall, and that, too, is part of the program.
I asked Mary Gordon, who founded Roots in 1996, about its origins.
"I was a kindergarten teacher and I realized early on, as in the first week, that there was a great injustice, that some children came to school so ready to learn and a lot came with a lot of problems that prevented them from taking advantage of what schools had to offer," she said.
She was teaching in Toronto and started a parenting-support and early literacy program. Working with that program led to another insight.
"I worked with thousands of families and came across neglect, abuse and domestic violence," she said. "In all those cases I came to see that the common denominator was an absence of empathy in the adults."
That lack of empathy was being passed down through generations. She created Roots to break that cycle.
"I use a mother and baby so children can see the most perfect example of empathy we have," she said.
It's important for children to have experience with that relationship, she said. "You can't hold up flash cards saying, 'Be nice, play fair.' "
The program finds mothers or fathers from the neighborhood around each school. They don't look for super parents, just caring ones who are doing a good job with their own children.
The students learn to read other people's emotions by watching the baby and parent interact, and they learn to think about the underlying causes of various behaviors.
A Roots instructor, who visits the class every week, prompts them to explore their own emotions.
Studies have shown reduced levels of aggression in schools that use the program. Kids are more attuned to each other's feelings and they police each other. But bullying prevention is just a side benefit. The core purpose is breaking that cycle.
In Marianne Bratsanos' class at Beacon Hill, the children told me they enjoy the visits, and they know a lot about how to treat a baby now. It's made a difference in how they treat each other too, their teacher said.
The Tuesday I was there, Asa was trying various foods. He smiled after his mother fed him a spoonful of yogurt. He spat out a cube of cantaloupe and made a frowny face that made the kids laugh. His reaction to feta was even more dramatic.
When Asa first came in he was crying. Natasha Nimmo, the Roots instructor, told the class that a crying baby is not a bad baby. He's trying to communicate something. What might that be, she asked?
That's how the conversations go.
After class, Nimmo said, "I see kids willing and able to talk about their feelings, and without judgments." Building the lessons around a baby makes the difference. "Who doesn't love a baby?" Nimmo asks.
