When do you pay more???
My oldest son is 14. He's generally thrifty and happy with what he has, but lately he's been noticing fashion for the first time. He wanted a certain style of jeans and the cheapest I could find them in his size was $31. He's 6'5" and skinny as a rail so it's really hard to find his size. When we found 2 pairs in his size, I bought both.
When do you cut your losses and just pay more than you want for an item? I'd searched thrift stores for the jeans, tried all the deep discount stores, etc but the only place we could find his size was a department store, and the $31 was a sale price.
And what I've noticed from all the jeans searching is that it's almost impossible these days to find men's jeans where the length is longer than the waist size! I guess with the obestiy rate being so high, stores only order bigger waists than inseams these days. That makes it hard for skinny tall guys (or even skinny short guys)!
I finally just decided that my time, gas, and wear and tear on the car were all not worth any more looking. Now the next item is that my second son wants his own tuba. We've been renting from the school, but the school instruments are really, really old and beaten up. He wants a nice tuba he can keep for good. Where does one find a discount tuba?? :-)
I sure can't give you tuba advice, but for $31 for jeans, I'd say don't sweat it. I see people paying $60, $80, or over $100 for a pair of jeans! $10-$20 is more my price but in the $30 range, I wouldn't lose sleep.
And yes, sizes can be an issue. So again, I don't think you should feel bad about it. Be proud he's thrifty and has learned from you. I think he'll be just fine.
I'd pay more for something that's hard to find elsewhere. After I've searched the thrift stores and the discount stores and still can't find what I'm looking for I'll buy an item on sale at a regular store. I tend to have to pay more for my jeans too because I am also tall and skinny and finding a pair that is long enough is a rare thing for me.
I also pay more for quality. If, for example, I can get a fiberboard bookshelf for $40 or a solid hardwood bookshelf for $140 I'll go for the more expensive one. Quality will last forever if taken care of, while cheap things will often be useless in under 5 years. The supposedly cheap thing ends up costing more in the long run. Not to mention all those cheap things break and end up in landfills. There's a limit to this though, more expensive doesn't always mean higher quality, sometimes it just means more trendy. And trendy is just code for something you'll hate in five years so you'll be in the same situation as with the cheap item except out more money.
For the tuba, try a music store. Most cities have them. They often have used instruments or will allow you to put up a sign saying what you are looking for.
In terms of what I'll pay a lot for, it's shoes. I tend to buy 1 pair of shoes for $80-100 and wear them almost every day fall, winter and spring. I'm a teacher so I'm on my feet a lot and have a tendency to get sore feet if I dont' wear good shoes. So each fall, I buy a good pair of shoes.
Mommabird,I agree with buying quality whether at the department store or the discount store. I had a friend that dressed her DD in the latest fashion at the most expensive stores in town for ½ price. She did this buy striking up a conversation with a lady who was looking on the sales rack for a size smaller than her DD. The lady could not find what she was looking for and my friend had just the thing. She still had the price tag and the dress had been worn only three times to church. It had never been washed because they pulled it off and hung it up immediately when they got home. This friend purchased four new dresses at the beginning of the season, her child wore a new dress every Sunday for a month, and then they started over with the dresses. The lady agreed to give her ½ the cost of the expensive dress and asked to be called when she had other dresses to sell. It was a win win situation for both of them.
I think you did fine with the jeans and it was smart to get two pair. I have large feet- size 11 and will stock up on shoes when I find what I like on sale even if I don't need them right then. I cannot go out and buy a pair of shoes except maybe at WalMart or Payless and those shoes are not what I like.
I have a mental list of items that I am always scanning for when I shop - which is all the time but I do love shopping. So I usually know the best price on things and what I need to pay to get what I want.
I looked for two years for a pair of flat, black, formal size 11 dress shoes and eventually ended up paying around 70 for them and was very grateful to have found a pair that I liked well enough that wasn't 150+ or sold out.
I like Bumblbeez will definitely pay for the shoes. It is difficult to find reasonably fashionable shoes in size 11 that are comfortable and made well. I do keep them for a while. I will pay more for quality. My older kids tend to wear there clothes for several seasons so I will purchase slightly better quality (and the boys will become hand me downs). As a tall woman I will pay more for clothes that have enough material to actually cover my belly and the top of my jeans when I bend over. I will also pay more for things made on this continent if it is something I intend to keep (if it is something disposable, I don't realy care about the quality and thus will not pay more). I definitely will pay more for low VOC paint.
I'd say it's time to tell the kids to get jobs to pay for their luxuries.
Give money for a clothing budget that will cover the necessities. If a kid becomes "fashion conscious" and wants high end gear, then they can pay the difference in price or buy just the item themselves. If a kid wants 'his own' nice tuba instead of using a rental that you pay for, they can work for it. CraigsList is a good place to look for bargains in musical instruments.
I don't think $31 is too much for something a little more fashionable for a child that is hard to fit. My guess is trendy or not, there weren't a lot of available choices out there.
My boys are younger, and I can find great deals on plain and striped shirts during the end of the season clearances. It doesn't matter how much I'm willing to pay, but I we have a really difficult time finding 'fun' t-shirts for the older child. I like my children to have a few things just because they like it or it makes them comfortable. My younger child likes Star Wars and some of the shows like Power Rangers, but there is nothing in the stores that interests my older child. If you look in the boys clothing section, it's usually loaded with skull and crossbones, dragons or the tees with disrepectful sayings like "I hate my sister." I've ended going on-line to buy a few science themed shirts of my child's choosing. Sure, it costs a little more, but it makes him feel like he fits in with the other kids and he has a little fun with it. In this case, I'm willing to pay a little more because I feel there is an added value.
Luann - my son is on his way to 6'8" (projected adult height by our dr.) so I know I'll pay BIG BUCKS for his clothes some day soon! At his current 6'5" he only wears a 34" inseam (short legs) so I can still find things.
DS is willing to get a job, but in our state you have to be 15 to get a job. He does mowing & odd jobs, mostly for elderly people in our neighborhood. I tell him to never charge them, just take what they offer if they offer at all. He's on his way to Eagle Scout and I want him to learn joyful service. Most of the elderly people don't realize that $5 isn't the going rate for mowing these days, but they pay what they can.
I see it as my job to clothe all my kids until 18. 99% of what they have comes from thrift stores, but the tall I just can't find thrift clothes any more except Tshirts. I am thankful his 2 younger brothers are more average size for now! I'm also thankful the school district keeps his school so hot that the kids wear Tshirts all year so I don't have to worry about long sleeve shirts!
Oh and, a few days ago, we found the jeans on sale for $22 at a different store. He'd worn one pair of the $31 ones, but we took the other pair back. I bought him 2 pairs at $22 since that was a super deal.
14 and working these days? Be proud of both him and the job you've done raising him! He EARNED the extra pair of jeans in my book! Seeing kids being responsible is such a day-brightener for me. I've seen too many of the other.
He knows the value of money and has a good work ethic. He'll go far, I'm sure.
I've raised kids and grandkids and my policy has always been that I will buy them good quality clothes. Sometimes I get them at garage sales, sometimes on sale. When my son got to be tall and he went into a size 13 shoe, I bought Levi jeans (they come in lots of different lengths) and we had to drive 50 miles to find someplace that sold big shoes (this was before the Internet. I could've ordered them but one does need to try shoes on.) Ordinarily, though, I did not buy all the fancy brands that were so expensive. DD, at one time, wanted a pair of shoes that cost $100. I told her that I would give her what I normally pay for her shoes and she could earn the rest and buy the shoes she wanted. DS had several lawns that he mowed for extra money during the summer, and he let her help him. She mowed a few lawns and got the shoes. But she learned something very valuable with that. She is a very good shopper now.
On the other hand, DS never cared much for fashion and he was always happy with whatever I bought him. He mowed lawns every summer and always had plenty of cash. He has never learned how to manage his money well, though. Go figure.

Saudi likely to keep gas contractswith state-owned Aramco
Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi, who has assumed full control of the negotiations since his reappointment to a third term last month, has issued a 4 June deadline on the three integrated projects worth $25 billion.
"We're finished if we haven't resolved our differences by 4th June," said a Western oil executive, referring to a new deadline set by Naimi in a letter.
"The terms offered to us are not acceptable. We have a week left to negotiate, but I don't see the Saudis making drastic changes."
Western companies doubtful
Any breakthrough looks remote given the fundamental differences that have existed between the kingdom and seven oil multinationals ever since preliminary deals were signed two years ago.
The companies want access to more gas than the Saudis are offering, and the two sides also disagree on the rate of return for investments in petrochemical, power and desalination plants.
The projects have been in limbo since potential investors, led by Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell, were told to submit final offers in December.
Saudi plans
Naimi has said that the developments, designed to kick start the Saudi economy and provide jobs, will go forward with or without the seven potential foreign investors.
But western executives believe that Naimi wants to split up the projects, keeping the gas fields in the hands of state-owned Saudi Aramco, and tendering the contracts for the industrial plants to foreign investors. The companies, bound by strict confidentiality agreements, officially maintain that talks are continuing.
No Prince Saud
But many in the ventures are now resigned to failure, especially since they believe a key ally, foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, has taken a back seat to Naimi in the talks.
Prince Saud al-Faisal's absence significant, foreign oil executives believe
It was Prince Saud who last September offered some concessions on contract details in a bid to break an impasse over the amount of gas on offer and rates of return. Western executives said then the offer had not gone far enough to guarantee success.
For oil majors seeking access to the kingdom's gas reserves, off-limits since nationalisation 30 years ago, it has been an uphill battle ever since Crown Prince Abdullah unveiled the outlines of the integrated projects nearly four years ago.
Project details
The Exxon-led consortium including Shell, BP and ConocoPhillips is seeking to invest in the prized $15 billion South Ghawar project, or core venture one.
A Shell-led consortium, which includes ConocoPhillips and Total, is keen on investing in the $5 billion Shaybah development, or core venture three.
Saudi officials have said that talks on the $5 billion core venture two, or Red Sea Development, led by Exxon and involving Marathon and Occidental, have already been abandoned.

Syria: Hundreds in Toronto protest impending U.S-led war
Many protesters at U.S. consulate express support for Syrian president Bashar Assad.

Share via Email
Reem Sinno and her family were appalled by President Barack Obama's announcement Saturday that he intended — pending congressional approval — to launch a military attack against the Syrian regime.
So the Syrian-Canadians joined more than 200 people at the U.S. consulate in Toronto to loudly protest the impending attack.
"I'm against the USA interfering in our issues," said Sinno, holding a Syrian flag. "No one in the whole world likes it when others interfere in your life. They are calling the Assad regime a dictatorship. But Obama is more of a dictator than him."
Protesters across the globe took to the streets to condemn Obama's statement urging the U.S. to take action against Syrian president Bashar Assad's regime. Obama said he wanted to hold the regime accountable for allegedly launching a chemical attack that killed more than 1,400 people on Aug. 21.
Many of the protesters in Toronto expressed support for Assad, some even wearing T-shirts displaying the dictator's face and the words "We Love You" below. Chants of "Syria is not the enemy, war is not the answer" and "hands off Syria" were belted out on megaphones.
"We've seen in recent days that it's been a lot more difficult for Obama to mobilize the international community and public opinion to support this war," said James Clark, an organizer with Toronto Coalition to Stop the War, which arranged the protest. "It's because Americans and the international public are tired of these wars that have all been based on lies. The memories of the Iraq war are still fresh in their minds."
Clark said military action could exacerbate Syria's civil war and result in even more causalities.
"We don't think the so-called humanitarian interventions are humanitarian at all," he said. "Up to 100,000 people have been killed and many more have been displaced in the civil war. Militarizing that conflict or bombing innocent civilians is not going to improve the situation."
Many protesters called for an end to foreign interference in Syria, arguing the country should be allowed to determine its own destiny on its own terms.
But some in the crowd believed Assad's regime must be overthrown.
"You can't have a solution without Assad being thrown out," said Naeim Asgary, 24. "He might not have used chemical weapons, but he's killed at least 10,000 to 20,000 innocent people. I'm from Iran; I know what the Syrian army is up to."
Nevertheless, the Sinno family and many others were resolute in their support for Assad.
"Syria's president is the only president in the Arab world that has not been loyal to USA or Israel," said 12-year-old Ali Mohammed, Reem's son. "I was born in Palestine. I have to support Syria's president for supporting us."

Oh, this happens more than you'd believe. More than I'd like it to, anyway. I usually will look around, find some new names I like, but eventually I'll settle back in love with the names I loved in the first place. Based on Francesca, Charlotte, Priscilla (?), and the names in your signature, what about:
Good luck!Ashley

Isabelle + Arianne + Olivia + Violet + Charlotte + Emmeline + Eleni + Grace + Eva + Catherine
Caleb + Everett + Jack + Avery + Samuel + Zane + Declan + Caspar + Grant + Rory

Schuyler + Judah + Rowan + Boaz + Emerson + Thomas + Dashiell + Pax + Ara + Donovan
September 11th, 2013 09:24 PM #5
Yeah, I went through that too. Mostly because I started discovering other names I hadn't really considered or heard about before.
I keep a long excel file and "hide" the names I don't love anymore. I usually come back to them every 6 months to see how I feel about them.
Since you like Pryscilla (with a y? I prefer Priscilla it looks more streamlined) how about Temperance,
Prudence, Fiona, Henrietta, Mariposa, Loretta, Josephine, and Noelle.
Or are you looking for something a little more adventurous? Lorelei, Primrose, Ismene, Callista etc....if my husbands has no vote, then....

Years ago, when I built our barn and spoke to the electrician about heat for the tackroom, he suggested an electric in wall heater. I didn't like the looks of it because it had coils that heated and just did not look safe. So my tack room is still cold.
I was wondering about a hardwired electric baseboard heater. Too many barns around us have gone up in flames with heaters, and I'm very concerned. There has to be a safe way.

We love this cabin!
This cabin is clean, comfortable, cozy. The location is perfect for all year-round activities. It is big enough to accommodate two families with kids. The kitchen is well stocked with needed items. And of course, the hot tub is always a favorite. We have stayed here several times and also recommended it to other families who enjoyed their first stay and have returned more than once.

Comment: Re:It depends (Score 1) 479
Even if you wrote this in C in the style in which they did it the program would be slow. Since there's no way to "extend" a C string, it would require determining the length of the current string (which involves scanning the string for a null byte), malloc'ing a new buffer with one more byte,
There is. It is called realloc. If you are unlucky, it will just divide the number of times the system actually performs by 16 or whatever the malloc implementation uses as an alignment, but once the allocation gets big enough you get a pages directly from the system, and it just maps in more pages on the end.
malloc isn't the problem, though. My point was that if you write it in the style of the code in the paper (don't keep track of the string length between character appends) then it'll still have to scan the string a million times. If you know ahead of time that you're going to append exactly one million characters to the string then you need but one malloc, right? I can make this program extremely fast in that manner but that's not what they're doing.

St. Augustine
In early November, i put down IMAGE with Atrazine on my St. Aug lawn. It did a decent job on the broadleafs, and i supplemented that by pulling the Dallisgrass. Since purchasing the home in May of 2013, the lawn is looking much better.
Now, i am seeing small clumps of clovers sprouting up. When/how should i address this? Any input is appreciated, since i am new at this.
Those are true Dutch white clover. A lot of plants look like clover but that is the real thing. PULL THEM IMMEDIATELY, because clover seeds like crazy. Do NOT let the clover form the white flowers. St Aug is usually a dominant force in the lawn against grassy plants, but it is a little baby against broadleafed plants. Even really poor plants will shade out St Aug. Your best defense is to mow the St Aug at the mower's highest setting - always.
Atrazine has a diminishing return when reused. I would not use it until at least mid spring. Wait for all the weeds to come back in full force and then blast them. And then don't use any more atrazine for a year. For now, it looks like your lawn is dormant. You might get away with spot-spraying some Weed-B-Gone Clover, Chickweed, and Oxalis. When St Aug is growing, the WBG will take it out, but when it's dormant, you might get away with it. To be more careful you could use cardboard as a shield so you only spray the clover.

Thousands Take Action in Arizona for ENDA
November 1, 2013 by Guest contributor
Post submitted by John V. Gomez, State Director, Americans for Workplace Opportunity
What an exciting day it was for HRC and the Arizona team from Americans for Workplace Opportunity. We delivered more than 7,500 postcards in support of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) to the Phoenix offices of Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake.
We started the morning with a press conference that was well attended by local media as well as our super volunteers and coalition partners. We then headed to the senators' offices and were greeted with respect and thanked for our efforts. In the coming week, the U.S. Senate will take up ENDA for the first time since 1996. The 7,500 postcards we delivered to Sens. McCain and Flake were collected from all over the Grand Canyon State by volunteers, coalition partners, and Americans for Workplace Opportunity field staff while attending community meetings, college and professional sporting games, local markets, church events, and neighborhood gatherings.
In every community we visited or event we attended, one message was clear.... in 2013 everyone should be able to earn a living and take care of their family free from workplace discrimination. We must and will pass ENDA in the 2013 U.S. Senate, because it's the right thing to do.
If you haven't yet asked your senators to vote for ENDA, send them a message today.

Business Owner: Education Requirements and Career Information
Business owners turn ideas into goods and services that are offered to the general public. They are responsible for a wide variety of duties and although it is not required for a business owner to earn a college degree, there are different degree programs that prospective business owners can complete which may make the business more successful.
Education Requirements for a Business Owner
Although it is generally not required to have a college degree in order to own a business, completing a college degree program will give prospective business owners a better understanding of what owning a business entails. There are various educational career paths that students can choose from, including earning an associate, bachelor's or master's degree in business administration, management or a related field.
Although there are a variety of degree programs that aspiring business owners can choose from, general business courses will be similar for some degree programs. Similar business-related courses include:
- Basics of management and marketing
- Financial management and policy
- Various economics courses
- Accounting courses
- Organizational leadership
Business Licensing and Other Requirements
There are various requirements that businesses must meet before they can offer goods or services to the general public. For example, any business that has employees must have an employer identification number which will be used to identify tax accounts for various agencies. Business owners must also meet requirements for unemployment insurance, various building licenses and permits, worker's compensation, labor laws and safety regulations.
Career Information
Every business, firm, franchise and agency has an owner. Business owners are responsible for making the decisions that affect the company, including what goods and or services their company will be offering to customers. They also hire employees, set goals and implement policies. Depending on the size of the company, the owner may work directly with the employees to fulfill his or her responsibilities, or there may be several other managers and employees who help the owner by overseeing different aspects of the business.
The duties of a business owner will depend on what type of company the owner runs. The duties of a restaurant owner will be much different than the duties of an auto repair shop owner. In order to keep sales up and to continue operating, businesses must provide quality goods and services to their customers to keep them coming back.
Business owners who are just starting out may want to consider hiring professionals to help market or promote the new business. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), most new businesses fail because the owners do not see beyond their initial ideas, and they lack the experience and expertise that is needed to run a successful business (www.bls.gov). Additionally, the BLS reported in 2009 that there were over 550,000 businesses in the U.S. that had been operational for less than one year, and about 76% of new businesses were still operational after two years. According to Payscale.com, small business owners earn a median annual salary of $61,657 as of December 2013.

A Great Big World
The story of A Great Big World began in the crowded practice rooms at NYU. Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino were both studying music business while fostering dreams of writing and performing on Broadway and beyond. Ian quickly saw potential in partnering with Chad, and started lobbying him to work together on new songs.
At first, Ian was the artist, and Chad shared writing duties and became his manager. Chad even paid for Ian's first vocal lesson. Performing together around New York, Ian eventually stepped into the spotlight and released an independent solo album, with all songs co-written by Chad. An overwhelming viral buzz ensued, causing Ian and Chad to hit the road in support of the album, and the project continued to gain steam. Their music became a favorite among music supervisors, earning licenses on One Tree Hill, MTV, The Amazing Race, ESPN, Good Morning America and more, as well as a performance on the Rachael Ray Show.
Despite Ian being the front man, Chad was always there in a writing and performing capacity. Then in 2012, the duo had an opportunity to officially re-brand themselves, and that's when A Great Big World was born. Making positive, piano-driven pop bursting with harmonies and woven together with a fun whimsical twist, the duo crafted a six-song EP funded entirely on Kickstarter by fans. "It's optimistic, hopeful pop music," Chad says. "There are fewer songs about heartbreak and more about the meaning of life. But even the most painful of our songs are hopeful."

An improved fried snack product is provided which is fabricated by a two step process including initial extrusion followed by frying, preferably in a wet condition wherein the extrudate has a moisture content of from about 16-40% by weight. The starting mixture fed to the extruder preferably includes an amount of low protein flour (e.g., cake flour) in order to increase the expansion of the product upon frying. Fried snacks in accordance with the invention exhibit a smooth, even appearance, and have excellent organoleptic properties. Extrusion is advantageously carried out using an initial preconditioner and a co-rotating twin screw extruder equipped with a venting apparatus along the length thereof.
1. In a method for fabricating a fried snack product including the steps of forming and preconditioning a mixture of flour and water for a period of about 20 seconds to 6 minutes and subjecting the mixture to elevated temperature to a maximum of from about 150�-230� F., and passing the preconditioned mixture into and through an extruder and forming at least a partially cooked extrudate, said extrusion step comprising the steps of introducing said preconditioning mixture into the barrel of an extruder equipped with a flighted, rotatable screw and an extrusion die, rotating the screw to sequentially advance the preconditioned mixture along the length of the barrel first through a cooking zone, then through a venting zone and a forming zone, and finally through said extrusion die, said mixture having a maximum temperature of up to about 240� F. in said cooking zone, and thereafter frying the partially cooked extrudate, the improvement which comprises incorporating into said mixture a quantity of a low protein wheat flour having a protein content of from about 1-9% by weight.
2. The method of claim 1, said mixture comprising from about 20-50% by weight water.
3. The method of claim 2, said mixture comprising from about 25-45% by weight water.
4. The method of claim 1, including the step of injecting steam into said preconditioner during formation of said mixture.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixture is subjected to two stages of treatment in said extruder, first in a cooking region wherein the highest temperature is below about 240� F., and second in a forming region wherein the temperature is less than the maximum temperature of the mixture in said cooking region.
6. The method of claim 5, including the steps of retaining said mixture in said cooking region for a period of from about 10-25 seconds, and retaining said mixture in said forming region for period of from about 20-80 seconds.
7. The method of claim 5, including the step of subjecting the mixture to venting between said cooking region and said forming region.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixture is subjected to a pressure of from about 200-1500 psig in said extruder.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixture has a residence time of from about 30 seconds to about 2 minutes in said extruder.
10. The method of claim 1, including the step of cooling said extrudate prior to frying thereof.
11. The method of claim 1, said frying step comprising placing said extrudate in cooking oil having a temperature of from about 350�-400� F. for a period of from about 5-45 seconds.
12. The method of claim 1, said low protein flour being the sole flour constituent of said mixture.
13. The method of claim 1, said mixture including respective quantities of a pasta-type flour and said low protein flour.
14. The method of claim 13, said low protein flour being present at a level of from about 1-50% by weight.
15. The method of claim 14, said low protein flour being present at a level of from about 1-5% by weight.
16. The method of claim 1, said low protein flour comprising cake flour.
17. A fried snack product made in accordance with the method of claim 1.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/811,952 filed Dec. 23, 1991, now abandoned, which is in turn a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 07/803,637 filed Dec. 5, 1991, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is broadly concerned with improved fried snack products, as well as a method of fabricating such snacks. More particularly, it is concerned with snacks which have improved appearance and organoleptic characteristics by fabrication using initial low-temperature extrusion followed by frying while the extruded products are relatively wet, e.g., at a moisture level of from about 16-40% by weight. In another aspect of the invention, use of low protein flour, and especially cake flour, in the snack mixture gives improved, expanded products. Such low protein flours may be used exclusively, or in combination with pasta-type flours such as Durum or Semolina.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known that desirable snack products can be produced via a two-stage process wherein a starting flour/water mixture typically including pasta flour (e.g., Durum or Semolina) is first extruded, followed by drying of the extrudate and frying. As a class, these snacks are known as "third generation" products, and are characterized by an expanded, crunchy texture and mouth feel.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,439 describes a very successful process for the low temperature extrusion of pasta products to produce instant or quick-cooking pastas. In the preferred process, a starting pasta flour/water mixture is first preconditioned and then passed through a co-rotating twin screw extruder having a vent in the barrel thereof. Processing temperatures and retention times are controlled in the extruder, so that the final product is largely or completely cooked upon emerging from the extruder. Thereafter, the extrudate is dried to a moisture content of about 10-12% by weight. In use, the pasta products can be readily rehydrated and exhibit very desirable eating qualities.
The step of frying the dried, quick-cooking pasta product, although an obvious expedient in light of third generation snack technology, tends to yield a product which is characterized by irregular blistering on the surface thereof and minimal expansion. Therefore, while the extrusion fabrication of quick-cooking pasta and pasta-type products is known, as well as the advantages of such products, frying of these extrudates has not produced first-quality snack products.
The present invention overcomes the problems outlined above, and provides greatly improved fried snack products which have an even surface of desirable color, as well as the other organoleptic properties required for consumer acceptance. In addition, the products can be fabricated so as to achieve limited or substantial expansion upon frying, at the desire of the processor.
Broadly speaking, the method involves first forming a mixture or dough comprising flour and water, and passing the mixture into and through an extruder to form at least a partially cooked extrudate. Thereafter, and very importantly, the extrudate is fried in a relatively wet condition, i.e., the extrudate at the point of frying should have a moisture content of from about 16-40% by weight (moisture content, wet basis), and more preferably from about 20-30% by weight.
In another aspect of the invention, it has been found that use of a low protein flour such as cake four in the starting flour mixture provides a very desirable degree of expansion in the final fried product. Such low protein flours should have a protein content of up to about 11% by weight, and more preferably from about 1-9% by weight. The low protein flour can be used alone as the sole flour constituent or can be mixed in combination with other flours, and especially pasta-type flours. In such cases, the low protein flour is generally present at a level of from about 1-50% by weight of the total dry ingredients mixture, and more preferably from about 1-5% by weight.
The single FIGURE is an essentially schematic, plan view illustrating the preferred twin screw extruder configuration used in the extrusion fabrication step of the invention.
As indicated previously, an important feature of the invention resides in the discovery that an improved fried snack product may be fabricated by first forming a mixture or dough including flour and water, followed by extrusion of this mixture and frying of the extrudate in a relatively wet condition. Broadly, the preferred extrusion process of the invention closely follows that described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,439, which is incorporated by reference herein.
In particular, the apparatus employed preferably comprises a Wenger TX Model twin screw extruder as well as a Wenger DDC preconditioner. Both of these components are commercialized by Wenger Manufacturing, Inc. of Sabetha, Kans. The preconditioner is fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,752,139 also incorporated herein, and includes a elongated conditioning vessel having transversely arcuate walls presenting a pair of interconnected chambers, with one chamber having a greater cross-sectional area than the adjacent chamber. A mixing shaft is located within each chamber and includes outwardly extending mixing paddles thereon. The shafts are rotated at different rotational speeds respectively during operation. The extruder is illustrated and described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,875,847, also incorporated herein, and is characterized by a pair of co-rotating, intermeshing screws having a pair of conical screws adjacent the output end of the extruder.
The single FIGURE illustrates the preferred screw configuration found to be particularly useful in the context of the present invention. To this end, the extruder apparatus is equipped with co-rotating screws 10, 12 having respective inlet sections 14, 16 and conical nose screws 18, 20. In addition, shearlock sets 22, 24 and 26 are interposed along the length of the screws to increase mixing and residence time, and to generate transient pressure points in the extruder. Screw rotation will normally range from about 100-400 rpm. Those skilled in the art will of course appreciate that the screws 10, 12 are housed within an elongated, sectionalized barrel which is commonly provided with external jackets for introduction of indirect heating or cooling media. Moreover, a die is situated adjacent the ends of the nose screws 18, 20. A conventional pasta die may be used in this context to achieve the desired product shape and size.
The preferred extruder of the invention is also equipped with a venting assembly which serves to remove moisture from the material passing through the barrel. Such a venting assembly is specifically illustrated in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,439. The venting assembly includes structure defining an aperture in one of the housing heads, along with a stuffer apparatus designed to prevent loss of material from the barrel and to draw a vacuum so as to assist in the venting operation.
In operation, the dry ingredients, namely flour and optional materials such as salt and surfactant are directed to the DDC preconditioner, whereupon moisture, in the form of water and/or steam, is added to the dry ingredients. In the preconditioner, a uniform mixture is created through the rotation of the mixing shafts. In particular, the mixture is subjected to a maximum temperature of from about 150�-230� F., and more preferably from about 190�-212� F., in the preconditioner; the residence time of the mixture in the preconditioner ranges from about 20 seconds to 6 minutes, more preferably from about 1-3 minutes. Preferably, steam is injected during travel of the mixture along the first one-third of the length of the preconditioner. The material exiting the preconditioner preferably has a moisture content of from about 20-50% by weight, and more preferably from about 25-45% by weight. Moreover, by virtue of the preconditioning treatment, the mixture is at least partially precooked therein.
Material leaving the preconditioner is fed directly to the inlet of the twin screw extruder. In the extruder, the mixture is subjected to a maximum temperature of up to about 240� F. and preferably up to about 220� F. In terms of ranges, the maximum temperature should be from about 150�-240� F. Desirably, the mixture is subjected to two stages of treatment in the extruder, namely a cooking stage and a downstream forming stage. The material is subjected to the highest temperature it will experience in the extruder in the cooking stage, whereas the temperatures experienced in the forming stage are generally below the maximum temperature of the cooking stage. Thus, while the cooking stage temperatures may range from 150�-240� F., preferably about 190�-220� F., those of the forming stage are generally lower, on the order of 130�-220� F., more preferably from about 150�-210� F.
The total residence time of the mixture in the extruder will typically be in the range of from about 30 seconds to 2 minutes, while more preferred residence times would be from about 10-25 seconds in the cooking region and from about 20-80 seconds in the forming region.
If venting is used, the vent apparatus should be situated between the cooking and forming regions. Most preferably, the venting apparatus is of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,439, and a vacuum level of from about 5-20 in. Hg should be employed.
Maximum pressures within the extruder should be in the range of from about 200-1500 psig, more preferably from about 200-1000 psig. Normally, maximum pressures are achieved in the final extrusion head, just upstream of the die.
As the extrudate emerges from the extrusion die, it is cut by means of a rotary knife or similar expedient. Although not critical, the extrudate should have a total length of from about 3/8" to 2", more preferably from about 1/2 to 11/4".
As explained, in one aspect of the invention, it is important that the extrudate not be substantially dried as is typical in the production of pastas. Rather, the extrudate should be maintained in a relatively wet condition for frying purposes. To this end, the extrudate may be immediately fried, or can be subjected to a cooling operation using ambient temperature air. This will have the effect of somewhat reducing the total moisture content of the extrudate, but it would still have a moisture level in excess of typical pasta production, of course, drying/cooling conditions are variable depending upon desired final product characteristics. Finally, if desired, the extrudate may be partially dried and/or allowed to equilibrate by sitting undisturbed for a number of hours before frying.
Frying conditions are completely conventional, and involve placing the extrudate in cooking oil having a temperature of from about 350�-400� F. for a period of from about 5-45 seconds. These conditions are variable, depending upon the qualities desired in the final product.
The final products after frying are essentially free of uneven blisters and exhibit a smooth, appealing outer surface and a characteristic fried color (the final color depends upon fryer temperature and retention time).
It has also been discovered that the final product quality of pasta-type snacks containing Durum or Semolina flour can be materially affected by the inclusion of certain ingredients other than pasta flour and water. For example, use may be made of minor amounts of surfactant and salt, with the surfactant being present at a level of from about 0.5-5% by weight. Salt may be used at normal percentages, typically from about 1-4% by weight. Desirably, the salt employed should be in flour form, as opposed to dendretic or flake form.
Most importantly, however, it has been discovered that use of low protein flour provides the most pronounced organoleptic improvement in the final fried product, especially in lighter density expanded products. Although a variety of low protein flours may be used, cake flour is the most preferred. Acceptable snacks can be fabricated using low protein or cake flour alone, but best results are obtained when such flours are mixed with pasta-type flours, most notably Durum or Semolina. In such cases, the low protein flour may be used at a level of from about 1-99% by weight, more preferably from about 1-50% by weight, and most preferably at a level of from about 1-5% by weight. The single most preferred products in accordance with the invention include about 1.5% by weight cake flour. The low protein flour ingredient enhances the expansion of the snack product upon frying, and is also believed to contribute to the even frying and characteristics of the snacks of the invention. Such is particularly true when use is made of optional ingredients such as baking soda or baking powder.
Cake flour is understood by those skilled in the art to be of a particular kind and quality, and is described in Wheat Chemistry and Technology, 1971 Edition, and edited by Y. Pomerantz, pp. 221 and 223; this information is incorporated by reference herein. Thus, cake flour is normally spring or winter wheat having a low flour absorption (farinograph) of from about 40-55, an ash content of from about 0.20-0.45, an alkaline water retention of from about 50-65, a white color, an average Fisher particle size of from about 8-12 microns, a protein content of from about 5-8.5%, and a MacMichael viscosity of from about 35�-60�. Suitable cake flour may be obtained from ConAgra, Inc., namely its Pinnacle or American Beauty cake flours.
The following examples describe the preferred fabrication techniques and products in accordance with the invention. It is to be understood that the examples are presented by way of illustration only and nothing therein should be deemed a limitation upon the overall scope of the invention.
In this series of runs, a Wenger TX-138 twin screw extruder was employed, having a Wenger DDC preconditioner and a barrel made up of eight interconnected, jacketed heads with the fifth head being equipped with a vent/vacuum port and a stuffer-type venting device of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,439. The output end of the extruder barrel was equipped with a three-vane rotini die (Model R36296 sold by Maldari Bros. of New York, N.Y.). The screw configuration of the TX-138 machine is illustrated in the drawing FIGURE.
The following formulae were used in this series of runs:
Durum Flour--94.25% by weight
Cake Flour--1.5% by weight
Myvaplex 600--0.75% by weight
Salt Flour--3.5% by weight
Durum Flour--99.25% by weight
Myvaplex 600--0.75% by weight
Durum Flour--94.25% by weight
Cake Flour--1.5% by weight
Baking Soda--0.5% by weight
Myvaplex 600--0.75% by weight
Dendretic Salt--3.0% by weight
The extrusion conditions employed for these runs are set forth in the following table:

In the case of Run #1, a total of 1,600 pounds of extrudate was produced. This extrudate was pneumatically conveyed to the inlet of a two-pass dryer equipped with an airlock. At the airlock, the moisture content of the product was about 31.7% by weight, and a sample of this product was saved for frying. In the dryer, ambient temperature air was used, in order to cool the product and effect a measure of drying thereof. After the two-pass treatment (15 minutes each pass), the moisture content of the cooled product was about 19.5% by weight. This product was then divided into totes, four of which were loaded into a conventional truck, with four being loaded into a refrigerated truck. The product was shipped to a frying location, and was fried approximately 16 hours after extrusion.
The fried products were excellent, and exhibited small even blistering. The products derived from the cooling were considered the best.
In the case of Runs #2 and #3, the formula did not contain cake flour. However, the product was fried wet, specifically at a moisture level of about 27% by weight. These samples were obtained at the dryer airlock as described above.
The Run #4 extrudate was cooled in the two-pass dryer using ambient air and retention times of 30 minutes in each drying stage to achieve a final moisture content of about 19.5% by weight. The temperature recorded in the dryer during the cooling process was 180� F.
In this example, a starting mixture made up of 99.25% by weight cake flour (General Mills) and 0.75% by weight Myvaplex surfactant was used. The equipment used was a Wenger DDC preconditioner with a nine head Wenger Model TX 52 extruder very similar to that described previously. The extruder was vented between the 6th and seventh heads, using the apparatus described above. The final die was a 0.025" elbow die (Maldari Bros. #46868).
The extrusion conditions recorded in this run are set forth below.

The extrudate emerging from the extruder had a moisture content of 30.41% by weight, and was thereupon dried to a moisture content of 7.47% by weight. The drying sequence involved use of 160� F. air, with retention times in the first pass, second pass and cooler being 5.9, 21.0 and 10.5 minutes respectively.
The dried extrudate was then fried and exhibited a substantial degree of expansion. A control was also produced wherein the starting material was conventional pasta flour (Durum). This control when fried was compared with the cake flour extrudate. It was found that the straight cake flour extrudate of this example gave approximately twice the degree of expansion, as compared with the control. The cake flour extrudate furthermore exhibited a pleasing appearance and good organoleptic properties.

I've been making pin cushions. Not for myself, and not something I planned on necessarily, but after my MIL passed away, we found a box in the garage labeled "pin cushion project". I remembered her telling me about this "UFO" box that was somewhere up in the garage.
She had collected objects from thrifting, estate saling, etc. (one of her favorite pastimes) and had planned to make pin cushions with them, but had never done it. A project she'd meant to start but never did. So when I saw all the cute things she'd collected, I decided to finish her "UFO" for her.
And now I think what I want to do with them is finish them all and then have a sale, and donate all the proceeds to the Patrick Swayze Pancreas Cancer Research Fund at the Stanford Cancer Center in her honor.
Would any of you be interested in one, or know of someone who would?
Would the best way be to list them on Etsy, or to have an instagram sale? I've seen people having destash sales, etc. over there where the first person to leave their paypal address claims an item. Do you think people would buy them? I guess I'm concerned that I'll end up with 30 homeless pin cushions.
These are the ones I have done so far. (I've trimmed them with my hub's grandmother's vintage ricrac.) They have turned out really cute. They are not super over-stuffed b/c they have walnut shells in them and it's hard to get that puffy full result with walnut shells. (She even had two bags of crushed walnut shells in her box!)
The piggie with some Joel Dewberry fabric..
The piggie's baby with some Riley Blake dots.. she's very tiny, that's a pencil in front of her..
This little British Airways Royal Dalton espresso cup with some Union Jacks..
"the bird"..
..and this seashell with some Lucy's Crab Shack fabric..
What should I charge? Do you think $10 + 2.50 shipping would be too much? If the shipping was more, I'd just pay it out of my own pocket, and 100% of the $$ would go to pancreatic cancer research at Stanford. I don't want to charge too much but at the same time I want to make some money to donate in her honor. Her absence is felt every day, and I think she'd be ecstatic to know her project was completed and to know that they were used to pay it forward in some small way. Pancreatic cancer is an ugly beast.
If you have any feedback as to the best way to go about selling them, feel free to leave me a comment. I've never done any kind of online sale before.

I have a PHP website on a Ubuntu web server and the users that will be accessing the website will be on Windows PCs. I am aware that Unix cannot pull Active Directory information from the current user through PHP, but I was curious if there is any client side code that can pull the information and then passed into a PHP Variable. I am unable to host the site on a Windows Server with IIS or else this job would be much simpler using PHP $_SERVER Variables.
Using JScript or any other client-side code, can I make requests that would be similar to the PHP $_SERVER['AUTH_USER'] or $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']? All I need is to pull the username of the current user, computer name, or, even better, Organizational Unit.
I want to be able to use this information for Windows Authentication into PHP Based Sites that are not on a server with IIS.
