Michael TiesoGeneral Discussion -
Mr. Rogers was a Navy SEAL. A tooth placed in soda will dissolve in 24 hours. Gators roam the sewers of big cities and Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen. These are just some of the most common and -- let's admit it -- awesome urban myths out there.
Myths can be fun, but they can also be confusing or unsettling. And if spoken enough, they can morph into something that resembles fact. (Side note: did you know that people used to think that traveling too quickly on a train would damage the human body?)
In its relatively short existence, Glass has seen some myths develop around it. While we're flattered by the attention, we thought it might make sense to tackle them, just to clear the air. And besides, everyone loves a good list:
Myth 1 - Glass is the ultimate distraction from the real world
Instead of looking down at your computer, phone or tablet while life happens around you, Glass allows you to look up and engage with the world. Big moments in life -- concerts, your kid's performances, an amazing view -- shouldn't be experienced through the screen you're trying to capture them on. That's why Glass is off by default and only on when you want it to be. It's designed to get you a bit of what you need just when you need it and then get you back to the people and things in life you care about.
Myth 2: Glass is always on and recording everything
Just like your cell phone, the Glass screen is off by default. Video recording on Glass is set to last 10 seconds. People can record for longer, but Glass isn't designed for or even capable of always-on recording (the battery won't last longer than 45 minutes before it needs to be charged). So next time you're tempted to ask an Explorer if he's recording you, ask yourself if you'd be doing the same with your phone. Chances are your answers will be the same.
Myth 3 - Glass Explorers are technology-worshipping geeks
Our Explorers come from all walks of life. They include parents, firefighters, zookeepers, brewmasters, film students, reporters, and doctors. The one thing they have in common is that they see the potential for people to use technology in a way that helps them engage more with the world around them, rather than distract them from it. In fact, many Explorers say because of Glass they use technology less, because they're using it much more efficiently. We know what you're thinking: "I'm not distracted by technology". But the next time you're on the subway, or, sitting on a bench, or in a coffee shop, just look at the people around you. You might be surprised at what you see.
Myth 4 - Glass is ready for prime time
Glass is a prototype, and our Explorers and the broader public are playing a critical role in how it's developed. In the last 11 months, we've had nine software updates and three hardware updates based, in part, on feedback from people like you. Ultimately, we hope even more feedback gets baked into a polished consumer product ahead of being released. And, in the future, today's prototype may look as funny to us as that mobile phone from the mid 80s.
Myth 5: Glass does facial recognition (and other dodgy things) Nope. That's not true. As we've said before, regardless of technological feasibility, we made the decision based on feedback not to release or even distribute facial recognition Glassware unless we could properly address the many issues raised by that kind of feature. And just because a weird application is created, doesn't mean it'll get distributed in our MyGlass store. We manually approve all the apps that appear there and have several measures in place (from developer policies and screenlocks to warning interstitials) to help protect people's security on the device.
Myth 6: Glass covers your eye(s)
"I can't imagine having a screen over one eye..." one expert said in a recent article. Before jumping to conclusions about Glass, have you actually tried it? The Glass screen is deliberately above the right eye, not in front or over it. It was designed this way because we understand the importance of making eye contact and looking up and engaging with the world, rather than down at your phone.
Myth 7 - Glass is the perfect surveillance device
If a company sought to design a secret spy device, they could do a better job than Glass! Let's be honest: if someone wants to secretly record you, there are much, much better cameras out there than one you wear conspicuously on your face and that lights up every time you give a voice command, or press a button.
Myth 8 - Glass is only for those privileged enough to afford it
The current prototype costs $1500 and we realize that is out of the range of many people. But that doesn't mean the people who have it are wealthy and entitled. In some cases, their work has paid for it. Others have raised money on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. And for some, it's been a gift.
Myth 9 - Glass is banned... EVERYWHERE
Since cell phones came onto the scene, folks have been pretty good at creating etiquette and the requisite (and often necessary) bans around where someone can record (locker rooms, casino floors, etc.). Since Glass functionality mirrors the cell phones ("down to the screen being off by default), the same rules apply. Just bear in mind, would-be banners: Glass can be attached to prescription lenses, so requiring Glass to be turned off is probably a lot safer than insisting people stumble about blindly in a locker room.
Myth 10 - Glass marks the end of privacy
When cameras first hit the consumer market in the late 19th century, people declared an end to privacy. Cameras were banned in parks, at national monuments and on beaches. People feared the same when the first cell phone cameras came out. Today, there are more cameras than ever before. In ten years there will be even more cameras, with or without Glass. 150+ years of cameras and eight years of YouTube are a good indicator of the kinds of photos and videos people capture--from our favorite cat videos to dramatic, perspective-changing looks at environmental destruction, government crackdowns, and everyday human miracles.

Red passion flower

Passion flower
alice DuPont mandaville
Enjoy the view
I made a peach cobbler this afternoon with the peaches I picked on sunday.The nectarines are bigger than my oranges,and they're both sooooooooooo good.Love fresh picked fruit.Although now I have to limit what I eat of it as I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in feb this year.
I thought the same thing. It is kind a "dead".
Do you use stevia for a sweetener? I am growing some in a couple pots. I buy a bag of Stevia in the Raw I use it in my coffee and in my green tea with pomegranate. I don't care for anything to be really really sweet. I am not diabetic. About 2 years ago my doctor. said my sugar was a bit high. So I made the decision to limit my sugar.
I don't know about other parts of TX, but nectarines won't produce here. Ag. people say the same about apricots. But one son used to own a house that had 2 producing apricot trees in the Houston area. The squirrels really enjoyed them :-(
I meant to tell you a tale.
I had a red passion vine. It was scarlet. the petals folded down when fully open. it grew like crazy. It grew from the trellis to the roof and across the roof to the front yard.
One night my DH said, "you know, I'm a bit afraid to go to sleep tonight" He said he was fearful that dang vine would get him in his sleep.
The problem with that vine was it bloomed in late October. So I got few blooms before we would get a light freeze.
No I use Splenda,i tried stevia once but to me it left a bitter after taste,so I continued with the splenda.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes this past feb,so had to change my way of eating and what I eat.I have lost 32 # since then.So I have to limit my fruit intake as well and what a shame,i used to eat a lot of it especially when the trees were loaded like now.
The birds are what eat a lot of our peaches,they take a bite here and there and go from peach to peach.Really ticks me off.
That's crazy about the red passion vine you had,my dh doesn't let ours get out of control.Some times he trims things too much.
We're retired so we spend a lot of time in the gardens,and we both love it.In fact i'm waiting for the sun to move now so I can go finish cleaning the garden I started cleaning yesterday.
Enjoy your garden and have a great weekend.
Congratulations on losing so much weight. You may have even cured your diabetes, though you'll need to be careful of what you eat from here out. I'm a family doc with many typeI diabetics in my family. I'd encourage you to check how your sugar reacts to the fruit. If it doesn't go very high, then you can allow yourself more fruit. Fresh fruit has so many other health benefits, I'd be tempted to tell you to eat more of it, even at the risk of a slight rise in blood sugar.
Martha,just a little story,unless of course I get carried away,which I tend to do sometimes.
Yesterday dh and I went to the Chinese buffet,and I was sure my blood would be over what it should be.2 hours after we got home I tested it and it was only up to 125,which was only 15 pts higher than it was a t breakfast.Ok I told myself,that's great,as I really watched what I ate there and the amount.
This afternoon I ate one of the nectarines I picked the other day and when I checked it before dinner it had shot up 42 points and was 162.
I told dh about it and told him I guess i'll just have to eat the smaller ones.LOL
I'm not going to give up eating them,just will eat smaller ones,and not every day.They are soooooooooo good!!

This is a beautiful apartment in the heart of London, & close to several of the attractions. With the tube being within walking distance, & a bus stop just below the apartment, it was a really convenient location. The apartment in itself is of a really large size, considering the generally small size of apartments in central London, & we were really surprised to find such a good sized apartment in London.

I liked all, all the Hostel was perfect, the staff were pleasant and they resolved all my doubts, and all, because i had a small problem with the plug and they were very attent to give me a solution. The ubication of the hostel is perfect, only 10 or 15 min to Weistminster, and very close from the Lambeth North underground.
The hostel was absolutly clean and is a very good place to meet people from different countries.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Back to scratch on GM foods
The foes of genetically modified food have this one huge issue that won't go away: the science keeps going against them.
The latest example took place late last month, when a prominent journal withdrew the one study that seemed to show a definitive link between health problems and food whose genetic mix has been altered to make it more resistant to pests or grow under less-than-ideal conditions.
And what a study it was, replete with disturbing photographs splashed across the Web: White lab rats that had feasted on GM corn developed grotesque, swollen tumors. Here was hard proof that bio-engineered food was a menace to anyone or anything that consumed it.
Then again, maybe not. It turns out that the rats in question were a strain that often develop tumors within their two-year lifespan, which covered the duration of the study. That made it impossible to determine which tumors were routine and which might have been caused by the GM corn. Making matters worse, the sample size was too small to meet standards used to establish statistical significance. Under a deluge of criticism from both independent and national scientific organizations, the journal that published the study, Food and Chemical Toxicology, issued a retraction.
That should have settled it, right? Maybe if this were a normal scientific controversy. But this is GM food and, like climate change, it's a topic that doesn't seem subject to the normal rules of scientific inquiry. That might include the molecular biologist who headed the study, Gilles-Eric Seralini of Caen University in France and a longtime foe of GM foods. Instead of voluntarily withdrawing the study after its shortcomings were pointed out by other scientists, he threatened to sue the journal and accused those who disputed his findings of having conflicts of interest.
And he had plenty of supporters, including the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility, which denounced the retraction and claimed the agricultural industry had strong-armed the editorial board of the journal. Naturally, posts on the Internet suggested the anti-Seralini campaign was the handiwork of Monsanto Co., the largest producer of GM seeds.
As for the study, rats were fed corn modified to resist the Monsanto-made herbicide Roundup. Farmers can apply it to kill weeds without damaging GM crops. Chief among Seralini's findings was that female rats were two to three times more likely to die than rats in a control group. This caused all sorts of people — not to mention politicians — to freak out.
In response, Russia and Kenya either barred or placed holds on imports of GM crops and France's prime minister said his country would press for a European ban on Roundup-resistant corn if the results were confirmed. The study even got some air-play in last year's unsuccessful ballot initiative in California to require labeling of food containing GM ingredients.
Yet Seralini's methods looked unorthodox from the get-go. Before the study was released, he allowed select journalists to have advance copies with a bizarre condition: if they showed it to third parties they would be subject to financial penalties that could cost millions of euros. This, of course, made it impossible for peers to challenge his work before publication.
Seralini had more ambitious plans as well: At the time the study was released in September 2012, he said he planned a book and a movie about his research. Those, no doubt, are on hold.
So where does this leave the debate about GM foods? Yes, Big Ag, Monsanto first and foremost, won this battle. But it was far from satisfying. A healthy measure of blame has to be laid on the journal that published the study. Instead of citing fraud or intentional misrepresentations — the usual reasons for a retraction — it simply said the findings were inconclusive. That leaves you wondering why the study even made it into print in the first place.
Examining the safety of GM foods is a worthy endeavor. It's the only way that the unsubstantiated claims made by its opponents will ever be put to rest — or that their concerns will finally be confirmed, however unlikely that seems. Too bad Seralini's contribution was to add only heat to the discussion and no comparable amount of light.

Majoritarian speech values suggest that we shouldn't allow corporations to lobby, let alone electioneer. The point of a mixed democratic-market system is that markets are highly powerful tools that can be used for good or ill. Deciding how to use them, how to guide them, and when to reject their results is the heart of democratic politics. The same characteristics that make our business corporations highly effective in their intended tasks of creating jobs and supplying useful products and services—centralized managers answerable only to dispersed financial markets intent on enforcing a single minded focus on economic profit—make them highly suspect participants in the debates and political campaigns that help shape our laws.
If we allow markets to control the political process, we lose democracy. Moreover, we will lose our markets—since successful corporations will simply use money from their past success to buy legislation to guarantee them still more market power. –"Money Is Speech: Why the Citizens United v. FEC Ruling Is Bad for Politics and the Market," Daniel J.H. Greenwood, Dissent

Attention is "the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought," wrote psychologist and philosopher William James in 1890. "It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction." James came tantalizingly close to understanding at least one aspect of this mysterious phenomenon whose inner workings eluded philosophers, artists, historians, and scientists for centuries. But today, we know much more about attention, and all that we are learning underscores its irrefutable importance in life. Attention is an organ system, akin to our respiratory or circulatory systems, according to cognitive neuroscientist Michael Posner. It is the brain's conductor, leading the orchestration of our minds. Its various networks—orienting, alerting, and the executive—are key not only to higher thinking but also to morality and even happiness. Yet increasingly, we are shaped by distraction. James described a vivid possessing of the mind, an ordering, and a withdrawal. We easily recognize that these states of mind are becoming less and less a given in our lives. The seduction of virtual universes, the allure of multitasking, our allegiance to a constant state of motion: These are markers of a land of distraction. –"A Nation Distracted," Maggie Jackson, Utne Reader

For Seneca, the stereotypical Google user would be remarkably similar to Calvisius Sabinus, a rich Roman who Seneca explains mastered a unique type of ignorance and stupidity. Sabinus was a foolish man, unable to remember the facts and literary allusions that comprised the educated culture of that time. But he was also a vain man who wanted to be intelligent. With his great wealth he devised a plan. Calvisius Sabinus purchased educated slaves, each of whom was tasked with knowing a specific bit of culture. One slave knew Homer, another Hesiod and there were others that were expert in each of the nine lyric poets. It cost him a tremendous amount of money to educate these slaves, but once they were ready he put them to use. If, in the midst of a feast, he wished to recite the Greek poet Pindar then he would simply speak while his slave whispered into his ear. In this way, Sabinus believed he had attained wisdom. –"Calvisius Sabinus," Micah White, Adbusters

Seattle Sounders FC
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena not surprised by snow covered pitch in final training session at CenturyLink Field
SEATTLE -- When the LA Galaxy arrived at CenturyLink Field for their final training session ahead of their Western Conference Championship second leg match against Seattle Sounders FC, the pristine practice surface that they were expecting was covered in a dusting of snow that blanketed large swatches of the pitch.
The snow which was the remnants of a light snow fall that descended on Seattle in the early morning hours was soon made playable by the grounds crew, but the fact the Sounders might have provided LA with a little gamesmanship did not surprise Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena.
Rather, Arena insisted, "we always see gamesmanship. It doesn't change."
"I don't know the protocol [for the field being cleared]," Arena said in the team's downtown hotel ahead of Sunday's conference final deciding leg. "We ran a little bit so it was fine. We don't expect to get any favors when we visit here anyway."
But when the game kicks off on Sunday, Arena doesn't expect that the same types of conditions that they faced in training.
"We will adjust and play however. We don't know what the conditions will be like, but they'll probably be better than they were at training," said Arena. "It's going to be sunny tomorrow so you would anticipate that the ice would melt off the field.
"They weren't able to clear the field and I know that it was a major blizzard last night so we dealt with those conditions today, but hopefully the sun will allow for the ice to disappear."

By the Numbers: LA Galaxy looking to clinch berth in MLS Cup in second leg against Seattle Sounders FC
SEATTLE -- One more day.
The LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC will face on Sunday night with a spot in MLS Cup on the line. In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers, we look at the Galaxy's record in Seattle in MLS competition over the years.
Check it out below.
LA Galaxy feeling healthy ahead of Western Conference Championship second leg with Seattle Sounders FC
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy trained for the final time at StubHub Center on Friday morning and in the final session, head coach Bruce Arena continued to reiterate that team is expected to be fully ready which includes A.J. DeLaGarza and Marcelo Sarvas who are expected to be available for selection for Sunday's Western Conference Championship second leg at CenturyLink Field.
"We think that we're good," said Arena. "Seattle has to come out in pretty aggressive and get a goal early. There's no surprises, it's the same game that you've seen for the last month."
A.J. DelaGarza (left hamstring) and Marcelo Sarvas (left leg injury) who both suffered injuries in last week's 1-0 Galaxy victory spoke on Friday and told reporters that they believe that they'll be ready come Sunday.
"If I'm called upon like every weekend I'll go out there," said DeLaGarza who noted that he trained "a lot' this week. "I'm ready to go."
Added Sarvas, " I trained yesterday (full) and I'm feeling good. Today we just had an easy day, I feel normal...I can play, of course...This was a bruised muscle, it goes away with days, every day is better and better. Sunday will be 100 percent for sure."
Bruce Arena thinks A.J. DeLaGarza and Marcelo Sarvas will "be fine" Sunday's second leg with Seattle Sounders FC
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena is confident that A.J. DeLaGarza (left hamstring strain) and Marcelo Sarvas (apparent hip injury) will be fit and available for selection in Sunday's Western Conference Championsip second leg against Seattle Sounders FC.
Both players -- who helped create the Galaxy's lone goal in the first leg -- left in the first leg with various injuries. After the match, Arena and the players seemed optimistic that both would be available in time for Sunday's match.
On Tuesday, both players were in the gym according to Arena. The team have the day-off on Wendesday before returning to training on Thanksgiving.
"I think they're going to be fine," said Arena. "They've been active the last two days so we think that they're going to be fine.
"Everyone is fine and we should have a full team on Sunday."
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez finished third in the 2014 MLS Defender of the Year voting as Seattle Sounders FC center back Chad Marshall took home the top honors.
Marshall finished ahead of D.C. United central defender Bobby Boswell who led both the media and club voting, but the Sounders defender's advantage in the player voting were enough to give him the Defender of the Year. The award is an unprecedented third for Marshall who won the honor twice in 2008 and 2009 while with the Columbus Crew.
Gonzalez was nominated for the league's top honor despite A.J. DeLaGarza winning the team's honor which is voted on by local media.
Jair Marrufo to ref Western Conference Championship second leg between the LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC
CARSON, Calif. -- Amid the officiating drama of the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Championship first leg with Seattle Sounders FC, the Professional Referees Organization announced that referee Jair Marrufo will get the whistle in Sunday's decisive second leg.
Marrufo officiated over four LA Galaxy games this season including the team's 5-0 Western Conference Semifinal second leg victory over Real Salt Lake earlier this month. During the four games, Marrufo whistled an average 16.25 fouls per game while awarding six yellow cards as the Galaxy earned a 2-0-2 record. The 37-year-old official also reffed two games for the Sounders as Seattle earned a 1-1-0 record. During his Sounders matches, Marrufo called an average of 20.5 fouls per game while dishing out five yellow cards.
Interestingly enough, Marrufo was the man in the middle for a Galaxy/Sounders playoff game in the past as he officiated LA's 3-0 thumping of Seattle in the 2012 Western Conference Championship first leg.
The complete officiating team is below.

CARSON, Calif. –The LA Galaxy endured a physical battle in their 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC and when the two teams kick off again next Sunday, a similar game is expected.
In their 1-0 win over Seattle, both teams were prone to heavy challenges as the game ended with a total of 25 fouls being called by referee Mark Stott as well as five yellow cards. During the second leg up at CenturyLink Field, another physical match is anticipated, especially after both teams combined for 40 fouls and six yellow cards.
Galaxy central defender Omar Gonzalez, who admitted after the Seattle victory that he "kept his distance" from Sounders players due to his fear of being issued a second yellow, revealed that he'll be more aggressive in the second leg in Seattle.
"Next week, that second yellow card doesn't matter," Gonzalez said. "I'm able to be more aggressive and I'm able to get up on guys a lot tighter so it'll be fun.
"It's going to be more aggressive and there might be worse fouls because of the field and how fast it moves," he added. "Overall, players have to be smart and no one wants to get sent off."
Marcelo Sarvas, who remains an injury question mark for the game, noted that Seattle's physicality might end up hurting the Supporters' Shield winners this weekend.
"I didn't see their team play a game this year when they had to push and score a goal," Sarvas. "In my opinion, they play very conservative. They keep two guys higher all the time and everyone behind the box so we'll see what the situation is going to be there [on Sunday]."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have one foot in the MLS Cup final with their 1-0 Western Conference Championship first leg victory over Seattle Sounders FC,, but it's not time to celebrate just yet.
LA must first earn a result in their second leg at CenturyLink Field this Sunday. Holding a 1-0 advantage after their home leg provides LA with comfort especially considering that away goals will be used as the first tiebreaker in the series.
Ahead of Sunday's clash, the list below includes all of the potential scenarios for LA to reach MLS Cup:
*Any victory for the Galaxy in Seattle will send them through to the championship.
*Any draw between the two teams including, but not limited to a scoreless tie will see the Galaxy advance.
*Now here is where it gets a little tricky.
A 1-0 victory by Seattle will see the match go into extra time—where away goals are not weighted any further—and could lead to a penalty kick shootout. Any other one goal victory by the Sounders wherein the Galaxy scores a goal will see LA advance to the championship. However, if the Sounders are able to win by a two goal or more margin, no matter LA's score, then Seattle will advance to MLS Cup for the first time in MLS history.
CARSON, Calif. – Tommy Meyer came through in the clutch during the LA Galaxy's run to the 2012 MLS Cup and as they look to add a fifth title to the mantel, the defender may be coming up big yet again.
Filling in for the injured Leonardo, Meyer put forth a strong performance on Sunday in the Galaxy's 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC in their Western Conference Championship first leg. Alongside Omar Gonzalez, Meyer was immense in shutting down the Sounders scoring tandem of Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins, frequently limiting their chances to place chances on frame for goalkeeper Jaime Penedo.
"It was good. It was my first 90 minutes in awhile and I got through" Meyer said. "You just have to be aware of where they are when they have the ball and be in position."
For all his brevity, the stats showcased the magnitude of his showing as he made three recoveries and interceptions apiece as well as six clearances on the night. The finest moment for the defender came in the 78th minute when he scooped up a Martins pass to Dempsey and shut down a Seattle breakaway.
Meyer's stellar showing defensively earned him universal praise from the Galaxy locker room, including midfielder Landon Donovan.
"Tommy was great," Donovan said. "Tommy hasn't played in a long time. He came in two weeks ago against Salt Lake and was excellent. He was very good again tonight. There were a couple of plays that were a little dicey, but you expect that from a guy that hasn't played in a long time. I thought he was terrific. I thought that him and Omar [Gonzalez] did a great job shutting down those two. Those two are very, very difficult to play against. They did a great job. And we will need the same next week from them."
LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez says referee Kevin Stott kept players on the field with an eye to the second leg
CARSON, Calif. – There were hard challenges aplenty on both sides during the LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC, but the home side believed that Seattle were fortunate to end the match with 11 men.
LA's ire was focused on Seattle center back Zach Scott who was given a yellow card by head referee Kevin Stott in the 37th minute but did not see a second caution—and subsequent expulsion—despite three additional challenges later. But it was Scott's foul on Alan Gordon in the dying moments that drew the most criticism thanks to a conversation that Omar Gonzalez alleged post game.
"It's tough when Stott says to one of your players that he's not going to give a player another yellow because he wants the best players to play in the next game," Gonzalez said. "I think it's not his job to focus on the next game. It's his job to focus on the game tonight, the game in hand. For him to say that to one of our players is pretty ridiculous, but like I said in a past interview, I'm not thinking about that issue anymore. It's out of my control; it's out of our control. They're going to do what they want. It's our job to get the job done with our play."
Neither Gordon nor Stott spoke after the match, but when Scott and Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid had their own thoughts on the official's allowance of the physical play.
"I don't know how else to play to be honest with you. A lot of times I tell that line, and today was especially frustrating considering the way the ref called the game," the Sounders center back said. "But that is just something that I've just got to deal with as a player and move on. It's fine now going into the next leg, another card isn't going to keep me out of the final."
Added Schmid, "I think we benefit a little there. I think in most games, the referee would have pulled that second yellow so I'm not going to pretend I didn't see that or argue about that. But there were also other calls that I don't understand. I don't understand how it's not a foul when [Brad] Evans gets kicked early in the first half. He's not the kind of guy to lay on the ground and dive, so if he is down he got hit. I think one time Omar [Gonzalez] was screening the ball and he just waited for a little touch and then he fell over like who knows what and all of a sudden it's a foul. I thought, 'are you kidding me?'. So a couple plays there, but we were fortunate that Zach [Scott] stayed on the field."
Let me hear your thoughts on the contact below.

CC's high shelf option with warming lights?
Hi guys,
I am pretty much set on getting a cc range (capital), and am leaning towards getting a high shelf with a warming light on the hood. to keep the food before serving, or in between cooking.
i am getting the 36 cc with grill.
my friend made the comment that the shelf would probably block the airflow to the hood, and decrease the effectiveness of the ventilation.. also the under side of the shelf would probably get really dirty...
anyone share experience??
i am also told that capital's shelf is solid stainless steel, no vents... on the other hand.. wolf's shelf is 20 inch high, and full of venting holes, and looks good... i am thinking if it's possible to do wolf's shelf (mount to wall) and put cc in front....
thanks in advance for any comments
I don't know about the Wolf shelf, but we put the DCS backguard and shelf on our wall over the 36" CC. Fits perfectly width-wise, but we wanted the hood higher than the backsplash goes:
The DCS shelf is made of slats, allowing lots of air flow and is divided in two, with each half shelf removable and able to be put into the dishwasher. Here's a closeup of one of the removable shelves:
the DCS backguard is looking quite nice too! So did you just get the low trim for CC, and just mount the DCS on the back to the wall??
Any recommendations on where to buy it?
Is your hood wider than your CC? I am also debating between a 36 hood or a 42 hood.. not sure if i need 42, but i imagine it could only be better
what's your experience?
The part number is BGRU-3036 and we ordered it from our local appliance dealer.
The CC has the 3" high island trim and the backguard attaches to the wall -- here's the installation pdf
Yes, our hood is 42 inches, wider than the CC. I'd highly recommend doing so especially if you get the CC with the grill. And make it 27" deep, not 24". Put it as low as you can (down to 30"). We put it at 34" but maybe could have gone lower, 33 or 32.
Hi Zartemis
I also have a CC range (friend of boxta). Mine is 48" with grill. Is that a cooper diffuser I see in your setup? How is it working out for you? I see that you have 4 burners covered, is there enough air flow for the back and will the flame burn the side/back of the range with the cover since it will push the flame down and wider?
I'm considering to get some diffuser plate to and can you let me know where you get yours? I"m assuming the are 11" sq?
noopd, yes, those are copper plate squares.
We mostly use them as dust and grease covers and spare 'countertop' over unused burners.
Being thin copper, they won't noticeably reduce heat transfer to one pot centered. We have used them as mock french top, though, putting several pans on them, off center to the flame underneath. In the rare cases where we cook on top of them, the flame is at its lowest. No errant burn marks (lots of wild copper patina on the plates themselves, now, though), but honestly, we rarely cook on top of them so I can't guarantee you won't have issues if you try to.
We got ours from BellaCopper, but you can get them from any place that has copper plate and will cut and finish the edges for you. BellaCopper overstates the 'diffuser' function of copper plate, I did not expect to find, nor did I find, any difference in simmer temp using these plates with a pot centered over the burner.
Yes, they do custom if you email them. We also got ours without a hole for hanging them.
If you get similar, you might want to get ones for the back burners that are slightly shorter front to back. Although we don't get burn marks on the back vent, you can scratch the metal with the plate up against the back. If you make the ones in the back 11 inches by 10.5 or 10.75, it will fit with a small gap in back. We just offset them forward slightly.

Tulane to build new football stadium
Published: Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 3:16 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Tulane University believes a home-field advantage will make all the difference.
The school on Thursday announced plans to build a $60 million stadium on campus.
The Green Wave has played most of its home football games in the Superdome since 1975. Tulane's old stadium was demolished in 1980.
Tulane, which hasn't had a winning season in a decade, hired New Orleans Saints wide receiver coach Curtis Johnson to lead the program on Dec. 5.
Johnson has never been a head coach, but he's had extensive success at the college and pro levels, including a Super Bowl victory with the Saints and a national championship with the Miami Hurricanes.

Thoughts about the Consumer Reports detergent ratings....
Interesting for sure.... saw a friends issue and peeked for a moment.
Your thoughts?
Vaska about at the bottom! What! =)
I have a hard time with some of their ratings.
I've discovered what I like about Tide Total Care is the smell and downy like softness I get with delicates.
I don't use it for my clothing but my daughters. Notice the difference for sure.
Someone had posted awhile back the benefits of using it, but I've forgotten..
Anyone know if the SA8 has OB's? I like powder detergents best.
I'm sure you'll get varied opinions on your question.
While not all of CR tests may be "perfect", how hard can it be to stain fabric and see how each detergent fares removing them? Seems fairly straight forward to me.
I know, what's the water hardness, what machine did they use, what cycle, etc ... I think if all the swatches were washed with the same parameters it doesn't really matter.
What I don't think they account for is different washing needs. While Tide with Bleach might be the best at removing a myriad of different stains, not everything I wash needs that kind of power. The gentler detergents which come in down the list (like Vaska) treat fabric more gently.
I have several detergents in my "arsenal" and I use them according to what I'm washing.
I would like to see CR include information like how well a detergent rinses and how it fades/doesn't fade colors. I sure wish we had detergents like in Europe (one for whites and one for colors).
As for SA8 - yes contains OBAs.
Sodium Carbonate, Pareth-25-7, Citric Acid, Fumaric Acid, Hydrated Silica, Cellulose Gum, Water, Amylase, Protease, Fluorescent Brightener (Distyryl Biphenyl Derivative), Fragrance
@bookert, see link attached for where I got the ingredients.

I also assumed you were asking for the CR rank list? Why would you want to know which brands they tested if not to know the order in which they rank them?

Kappen: Nope I don't want rankings (nor do I really care how they were ranked by CR based on their broken tests) just brands so the above does not apply. I want brands to see if there are any I was unaware of.
And therein lies the rub. A problem with just about every Consumer Reports test is that typically there are hundreds of brands, and often several variants within brands, and each variant and brand has its own strengths and weaknesses and directions to follow for most effective use.
Consumers Union cannot possibly test them all, and therefore must test only a select portion. CU's filter criteria most commonly are the rather arbitrary duet of sales figures (where available) -- to test the most prevalent brands -- and whether the products are readily available in southern Connecticut where CU is located. Occasionally, CU will wander off the reservation to test a regionally distributed product that is not found on Greenwich or Cos Cob supermarket shelves, but such instances are rare.
Moreover, if the purpose is to run standardized tests, then, a priori, any special use instructions for individual products must be ignored.
Over many years, we have used just about every variant of Tide, and had no complaints. But for the past decade or so, we have used Biokleen All-Temperature Liquid (which is the version free of enzymes), with a scoop (about 1/3 cup) of Borax added to each load. Our clothes never have been washed cleaner, and we never have had any odor problem whatsoever with our front-loading washers.
But the November 2011 issue of Consumer Reports, where the results of tests of laundry detergents were published, did not include tests of Biokleen, and did not test the effect of adding borax to a wash load.
Oh for goodness sake... Consumer Reports can copyright the actual article content as well as the graphics it created, but cannot restrict people from discussing the article as well as its conclusions. Here is what CR concluded in terms of HE detergent ranking (in order):
- Tide HE Plus Bleach Alternative
- Tide Ultra HE

Interesting to see Wisk so high up on the list. I almost bought a bottle when I was at Walmart yesterday as they had a good price on it, but I didn't care for the scent.
My daughter is bringing me some UK Persil and Ariel to try when she comes home for Christmas so I'm looking forward to that.
P&G has snagged 5 out of the top 10 spots... Does anyone wonder why P&G produces so many different versions of Tide? This way Tide always dominates the charts. I don't think this is fair, and Consumer Reports should test the basic Tide HE powder/liquid and not the variants. Fewer Tide varieties tested = more non-P&G products
