The most important thing to bring is your common sense. That said, never get off the truck empty-handed. Grab your axe, halligan, pike pole, light, whatever you think will be useful on this particular job.
There's been lots of discussion here and on other forums about what to bring in. Read them all, and decide what fits your department's plan of attack. Lots of people carry a short length of rope or webbing, and some carry a longer piece of rope. I have a radio pocket sewn onto the left bicep area of my turnout coat. This allows me to carry the radio where it won't interfere with the airpack straps, and where I can hear the darn thing.
Ask the others on your department what they carry and why. Does what they do leave any gaps? Does everyone charge to the front door and stand there because nobody brought any forcible entry tools? Or is everyone prepared to deal with minor obstacles like locked doors or walls that need breached?

As Ed mentions in his list, a good working flashlight is a must. If I could only bring in one item, that would be my choice. I'll only add this one item to give everyone else a chance to respond. Come on guys I know there are tons of ideas out there.

Good for U NORR226
I've been doing search and rescue in structures for almost 4yrs. As for tools, I like to take an axe or 24" crow bar. I've only had to recover 3 victims. 2 alive,1 deceased. In one incident, an elder was pinned between a waterbed and the wall. I just happened to have the small pry bar. I punctured the water matress removing the bulk of the weight from the bed. Which the rush of water just happened to cool the trapped gent. I then used the bar to move the bed about a foot, enough to get the elder out. My partner and I then got him to another team on a ladder at the bedroom window.
The axe always has a purpose as you probably already know. If you would like to email me as I am running out of space I would be happy to discuss pocket tools.
Be safe and alert.

Before you go in, look for a way to get out.
Make sure you're wearing ALL your PPE properly; your SCBA, your PASS, tag in with the accountability officer, and then check your partner out - make sure he's done the same thing. Make sure you and he (she) agree on your moves. Take a radio if you can. Have a handlight, carry a tool (great suggestions so far), and stick together. Your partner is your valuable tool.
Stay safe.

The only thing I can add is to advise you to bring in the proper tool(s) to safely do the job right ... the FIRST time!

If possible, take a flashlight, an axe (or other long tool), and a radio. A thermal imager would be nice, to!
12-14-1999, 03:29 PM #8AffFirehouse.com Guest
Start with the gray matter and the proper PPE as said earlier. You don't want to end up a liability. Then look around, see what is needed. FF #1- nozzle, #2-light, radio, #3-halligan (my fav), axe, or other forcable entry or breaching tool. As far as what goes in your pockets, look for that forum topic and start with the most common items, then expand or remove as you need.
Welcome, have fun, and stay safe!

Welcome. All above are good posts. Pay special attention to the little important things that we takle for granted likie Full PPE and Flashlights. Don't forget search ropes or rescue straps either.
All that being said a search team can do a loot with three basic hand tools. (1) Haligan Bar, (2) Flathead Axe, and (3) 6' Pike pole. These are the three tools that I like for the initial attack/search team.

As everyone has said, PPE and a partner(who you and he/she must trust in each other), always carry a good flashlight, and for me a flat head axe and a radio,(me to on the sewn in pocket, but not on the arm), and if possible a hose line or a life line in case you get turned around(which is very easy to do in a strange building filled with smoke). the main thing that I know from 22 years of interior search and rescue is be calm and try to always look for ways out of each room you enter it, as you never know when something can go wrong.
Good Luck

norr, being new to the fire service myself(3yrs experiance), I will share what I've been told. As it has already been said, the first thing I was told to have in my hands before I even thought of steping off the truck is a light and a tool, preferbly halligan or a ax. As far as pockets, personnely I keep a length of webbing, door tags, an extra smaller light, a sprinkler wedge, and a foldable spanner. These may make your pockets bulky, but those items have all come in handy on several seperate occasions, especially the sprinkler wedge believe it or not.
Stay safe and low

In reponse to your question I always like to take a small pry-axe with me. The thing is that you never ever want to go in to a building empty handed always take some sort of tool with you. Going in the door is easy but what happens if you can not make it back to the door sometimes you might just have to make your own door on an outside wall. But always remember the best tool you can ever take in to a building is your training and a partner.
Good Luck,

If on the truck or just investigating off the first Engine never forget "The Can Man"
You would be very surprise the amount of fire you could hold in check until the first line is put in operation with a pressurised can or a pump can. I like pump cans. Less to go wrong. If you have to turn it over and dump it out and you can re-fill at the tub or shower
Keep it burning
01-21-2000, 11:55 PM #14LYNNENG8Firehouse.com Guest
The first and foremost thing is bring the tool your officer on sr. man tells you too,whether this be by riding assignment or fireground orders. I also agree w/ the small halligan,while not very manuverable a Boston rake is a great tool.Remember the little things, a great lite is no good not charged, and I always carry a couple of door chocks, life safety rope and webbing are also good.
Stay Safe...

Hello all, everyone has provided you with the basic or even advanced items that should be your main luggage . If you get there and you dont need all of the items, leave them at the door and take what you can manage. I usually can handle an axe or halligan or both, and we have rope rescue bags on our scba's that assist us if we get into a bind, also the Can is always on the list, light and radio are a must. And everyone have mentioned it one way or another , your common sense. Take care and keep up the great posts.//

welcome norr:
Any tool is a good tool to take. Personally I'll take irons to most calls. On some highrise runs I'll take a 100' utility rope (so I don't have to climb down and back up the steps).
Really in my dept. they don't care what you bring, just use common sense. Two weeks ago at a highrise fire the 3rd man on the 1st due engine didn't bring the high rise pack(an obvious oversite). He was carrying a tool, but it wasn't what was needed. Needless to say there was alot of disgusted looks when we found smoke to the floor in the hall way. Lucky for him it was easily extinguished with a dry chem.
Oh, and remember that an activated fire alarm is not always false. My shift has been to the above bldg. 10 or more times on activated fire alarms and this one was real.

Welcome to the forums. I hope you will find information that is of value to you and your department. A good light is a must, either helmet mounted or carried in some other fashion. Depending on your SOP's & equipment - a tool of some kind. Webbing, personal rescue rope, wedges, a radio are all great to have handy. Take along another FF for safety and a thermal imaging camera if you got one. We're lucky, we have one on each frontline engine. Good Luck - Take Care & Stay Safe.

Three things I think are REAL important.
1. Make sure your buddy is someone you know and trust. Hopefully someone you've train with and/or worked with before. You need to be able to almost antisipate their moves and reactions to what will happen in there.
2. The married irons. The axe and halligan are your best friends. Use them to sweep under beds, open things, heck you'll come up with more uses you never thought of before.
3. Lights; carry a hand light, pierces light as advertised, can use it by leaving one in the doorway to find your way back to the hallway. Carry a disposible flashlight for back up. (heck they look good on the side of a helmet anyways)
Good luck and be Safe

Whenever I am responding to a fire call, whether it is an alarm sounding or a confirmed structure fire, I do not get off the truck without full PPE including my air pack, a radio, a small flashlight, and lightbox, and an axe and the halligan bar. If you carry these items all the time, it will be instilled into your mind as to what you should take with you. Everybody always gives me a hard time, but the truth of it is that if we have an actual incident I will already be all set to go to work while everyone else is scrambling around for their equipment.

Your Air Pak,
A lot of firefighters and chiefs in this area do not want you to wear your air pak unless you are going to any interior work, and it is and actual working fire. One of the things about firefighting is you don't know what you are going to find until you investigate. If you pull up to an alarm sounding, or chimney fire, you should have your airpak on and have the mindset that this is a working fire. I went away to school (to the big city) and found that this is how they operate. They also don't return 2nd due companys until they have found the problem, even if the business calls and tells them that it is a false alarm. As for tools, always have one, always. Irons are good, for search and rescue. In your gear a flashlight is the biggest thing. Also rope, you can do a lot with rope. Latex gloves, a leatherman, a pair of wire cutters, a wood chock, a rubberband, on your helmet, your nomex hood (great for shoveling hydrants in the cold, wortheless for fighting fire), a window punch maybe, a knife, and if you are superstisous a good luck charm, like a pin or a shamrock on your helmet. I guess that's it. Oh and never let anyone put you into a position where you fell unsafe, no matter who tells you to do it. (oh and get a leather helmet, those brain buckets are worthless too)

The first thing you want to bring anywhere is safety. Make sure that what you are about to do is safe for you. Remember you come first before anyone else. Think of your basic size up. Is it a truss roof? (BIG ONE TO THINK OF)
everything that you have been told is great. Take what you'll need. I suggest that you also bring in some personal equiptment. Such as some webbing some rope and a few carabiners. There is a good sight on the subjetct www.bailsafe.com I am a rep and can get you a good discount. remember those door chalks and a personal axe as well. The axe can be used for many important evac situations. Remember to mark the rooms you have been in as well.
How old are you anyway? Do you attend the fire academy or are you a volunteer?

Great postings. All are correct and a variety of tools is great to have. You should have extra tools in your pockets that deal with whatever you face most. Your positing says search and rescue. In that case, my suggestion would be a decent flashlight like everybody says, if not on your helmet or t/o coat or hand carried. I also carry a personal search rope (50ft) good enough for a floor and strong enough to bail out if necesary. I also carry a lightweight spanner wrench for prying, venting windows, tightening couplings etc. Door chocks/sprinkler wedges come in handy and if you have an inner tube around your helmet, some of those things can be placed there. I also carry some framing nails. These hold heavy doors open when you stick them between the hinge plate and the door. A radio is a must and depending on whether you have riding assignments or SOP's, axe/halligan, can, hook and maybe a leatherman or multi tool.
Stay safe and keep learning. Throw your ideas back to us and let us know what works best for you. Who knows, you may think of something that we haven't.

Knowing what your capable of (as well as your partner) is the first tool you need before ANYTHING else. Without having confidence in your self....forget the tools...better yet...forget about going in.
Know how to survive. Know how to get out before you go in. If you have confidence and survivabilty instincts...THEN...and only THEN, move on to #3
Your tools will depend on the size of the stucture (life safety rope). As a general rule of thumb...halligan,axe, and flashlight will suffice for the most part......but there is one tool that I have not seen ANYONE mention that should be the very FIRST tool that should come to mind. I am a firm and strict believer in this tool and it saddens me that everytime a subject like this is tackled, this tool is too often forgotten.....Its called a PASS ALARM.......Turn it on....leave it on.....
Stay Low...Stay Safe....and Listen!

Bayern Munich are determined to win the UEFA Champions league in even better style than they managed last term, according to Jerome Boateng.
The Bundesliga giants have made a fine start to the defence of their title and were in superb form on Wednesday as they eased past Manchester City 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Bayern were dominant for the majority of the match, with a late rally from City and a stunning Alvaro Negredo goal not enough to answer efforts from Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben.
And after opening their European campaign with a comfortable 3-0 triumph over CSKA Moscow and winning all but one of their domestic fixtures so far this term, Boateng - who was dismissed late in the win over City for a desperate lunge on Yaya Toure - has fired a warning that Bayern are looking to succeed in even better style under new manager Pep Guardiola.
"We had a great game today," the defender said. "We looked very strong.
"It is not easy to win here, 3-1 against a big club, so we can be happy.
"After last year of course it is difficult, but we want to do better. We have a new coach and he gave us a lot of confidence as you could see in the game.
"The coach has good tactics for us, we're confident; everybody likes the ball and to play football."
Boateng was paired in defence against City with regular partner Dante, and the Brazilian echoed his team-mate's claims that the German champions are becoming more and more comfortable with Guardiola's system.
He said: "It was a very important win because we know Man City are a very strong team and to get a win here means we're very close to qualifying and hopefully in first place.
"We're adapting very well (under Guardiola), he's a great person, a great professional.
"He speaks good German after a short time, and we're all keen to continue evolving with his philosophy."

The C loop has that huge wash crossing where the roadbook just says "find your way to that road you see way over on the other side". Of course it's a straight off cliff getting down into the wash, so you have to get creative there!
The E-A loop has the mini Grand Canyon where you ride along the rim. Overall that's a pretty high-speed route, but there's a few little "gatchas" thrown in to screw you up.
Then today the rock tunnel going up the wash on the D loop is super cool! The B loop is my favorite because it has all kinds of tough terrain and tough navigation. There's the sand washes with invisible exit points, the rabbit trail, and some good sort of HP stuff.
Would love to hear more about how it's going!
It was a total blast. I learned an ton. Between Jimmy and Johnny, it was an unparalleled opportunity. Scott, the routes were great. I got lost a few times, but managed to solve most issues by retracing to the last known tulip, usually not more than a mile. Still, Dave- moving slow and steady and not blowing the Nav, would catch me as I was just getting back on track, and then I'd go ahead till I blew a turn again
once or twice I used the lat/long and the GPS to find the tulip location, and get back that way, and also the mapbook making exercise was very educational.
A couple of things were weird, but in hindsight it turns out that in my haste I was not using all the available info on the route sheet to make good decisions. When I would see it the second time, it was more obvious.
There were a couple of places were it just didnt amake any sense to me at all, but at this point, I cant recall which of the 2-300 miles they were. I know there was one on the first day, and I got onto a trail that became a box canyon. Started first, came in last
but hey. First time, thats my story Im sticking with it
Rabbit trails -v are very hard to see, especially from the same altitude as the trail itself. Another thing that goofed me up good was having the Odo be a little bit off. I would reset to the tulip usually at every known turn, (or not if it was right on) but it was funny, sometimes being off by a tenth or two didnt matter, sometimes it made all the difference.
I dont know about the squares, but the huge wash crossing was cool, and so was the rock tunnel
I could have ridden slower and ended up going faster overall. A good lesson, one of many.
Every day I wanted to have a chance to do it again. Even now, I want to get back and do it perfectly.
A great, really great group of guys, too. All good riders, and all top notch gentlemen.

Italy remained in political gridlock Thursday after the centre-left leader announced he had failed to form a government.
Pier Luigi Bersani, who has been talking with parties since Friday, expressed some bitterness when he told reporters at the President's office in Rome that he found "unacceptable" attempts by some parties to set "preclusions and conditions".
Mr. Bersani's attempt at forming a government able to help Italy out of recession and get Italians back to work was always a long shot. Mr. Bersani's coalition controls the Lower House, but not the Senate, and inconclusive February elections gave strong voice to a protest party.
The next move belongs to President Giorgio Napolitano, who will hold a day of consultations Friday to "personally ascertain the developments possible", the President's secretary-general, said Donato Marra.
The failure makes more likely a possible technical government with a well-defined mission to take on urgent tasks, which include rewriting the election law, and push through some measures that have broader acceptance, like cutting political costs.
The February 24-25 elections ended in a three-way gridlock with Mr. Bersani's centre-left forces, former Premier Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right forces and the anti-establishment movement of comic-turned-political leader Beppe Grillo.
Old animosities and a hardline left wing of his party forced Mr. Bersani to rule out an alliance with Mr. Berlusconi — a sort of grand coalition that Mr. Napolitano clearly favoured. And Mr. Grillo's 5 Star Movement made clear that it wouldn't back Mr. Bersani or any established party despite Mr. Bersani's appeal to responsibility during a meeting Wednesday.
The 5 Star Movement's apparent intransigence makes a way forward difficult. It refuses steadfastly to vote confidence in any government that it does not run, and the Italian constitution requires a vote of confidence for a government to officially take office. The movement on Thursday proposed that Italy could continue under the caretaker government of Mario Monti, allowing the newly elected parliament to take on some urgent tasks. It was unclear if Mr. Napolitano would find that acceptable, if Mr. Monti would want to stay on, or if such a possibility were even constitutional.
Giovanni Orsina, a professor of political science at Rome's LUISS University, said there was a limit to how long a government can continue without a vote of confidence, and this caretaker government was formed provisionally until a new government could be formed. "If we say it is not a provisional solution, that it is more permanent, I think Monti should go back to the chambers and ask for confidence." .
Mr. Monti, whose technical government enacted emergency measures to help protect Italy from the sovereign debt crisis after Berlusconi stepped down in 2011, dissolved parliament last December after Mr. Berlusconi pulled support, paving the way to elections. More recently, he has been under pressure over his government's flip-flop over the fate of two Italian marines charged with murder in India. It first announced earlier this month the pair would not go back to face trial after being allowed home temporarily, but then sent them back anyway fearing international isolation over the move.

Dark Souls - Exploring the Design @ Gamasutra
Robert Boyd (Cthulhu Saves the World) looks at the design of Dark Souls at Gamasutra, arguing the game isn't necessarily as hard as its reputation suggests:
A very nice (and mostly correct) analysis.
Honestly, I do think Dark Souls and Demon's Souls are difficult by today's standards. They aren't "auto-win." They require practice and skill.
That said, they aren't really "old school" hard either. I mean.. they're fair games and totally reasonable. Usually, if you die, it's because you suck. I think the difficulty label is correct with Souls, but I think it needs to be placed in the modern context. |
with all these reviewers arround, people got used to bitching about games so easily
the whole value system is fucked. what else can the younguns do if all they read is "no improvementi n graphics, bugs, GUI not optimized, the controls are awful" but its turning.. oh its turning |

Review of Varese, F., Mafias on the Move: How Organized Crime Conquers New Territories
- Yiu Kong Chu
- … show all 1 hide
The transnational character of organized crime has become a concern for policy makers. It is also a controversial topic of academic debates. While some authors believe that organized crime groups have developed as criminal multinational corporations, and they can go to any places in which easy money can be made, others claim that these organizations have structural deficiencies and they are unable to play a major role in transnational illegal activities. Varese's new book is a timely work to study mafia transplantation from a new perspective.
Varese's central question is why in some cases mafia transplantation succeeded while in others it failed. Varese uses both successful and unsuccessful cases to support his argument. The successful cases are Sicilian mafia in New York, 'Ndrangheta in Bardonecchia in northern Italy, and Russian mafia in Hungary. The failed cases include Sicilian mafia in Argentina, 'Ndrangheta in Verona in northern Italy, Russian mafia in Rome, and triad societies fr ...

Old Mutual First-Quarter Sales Flat on Regulatory Changes
May 9 (Bloomberg) -- Old Mutual Plc, Africa's biggest insurer, said first-quarter life insurance sales held at 269 million pounds ($418 million), missing analysts' estimates, as regulatory changes in the U.K. hurt savings inflows.
Life insurance revenue, taking into account exchange rate fluctuations, missed the 272 million-pound average estimate of 15 analysts surveyed by the company. Fund sales dropped 3 percent to 3.32 billion pounds from a year earlier, London-based Old Mutual said in a statement today. Analysts had forecast 3.24 billion pounds.
"The continued uncertainty around new regulations has had an impact on distribution in the U.K.," Old Mutual said in the statement. Still, Chief Executive Officer Julian Roberts said that "against a backdrop of continued challenging macroeconomic conditions, we are confident in the prospects for the group for the full year,"
Old Mutual is focusing on selling life insurance in fast-growing African countries such as Kenya and long-term savings products in the U.K. after cutting costs, selling assets and paying down debt to return to profit after the financial crisis. The U.K. this year banned fund management and life insurance firms from paying commission to financial advisers in return for sales, undermining demand for some products.
Old Mutual's funds under management from core operations rose 10 percent to 288.4 billion pounds, boosted by rising equity markets and higher inflows into its U.S. and African business. That beat analysts' estimate of 276.9 billion pounds.
The insurer set aside 5 billion rand ($560 million) to buy stakes in firms selling life insurance and savings products to Africa's growing middle class, Roberts said in March.

FrameworkElement.IsLoaded Property
Gets a value that indicates whether this element has been loaded for presentation.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
From a newly constructed FrameworkElement, this property starts off false, and remains true after it is set to true, even if the element is subsequently removed from a connected logical tree by code. true state is set by the general presentation logic when elements are loaded into the presentation engine.
Typically, loaded elements are rendered, but not all FrameworkElement derived classes have a presentation, and other properties such as Visibility can influence presentation.
The following example implements two handlers: one is handling the Loaded event of the root element, so it is certain that the page root element is loaded because that is the significance of the event. The other handler is hooked to a user control, and calls IsLoaded to assure that the root element is loaded completely. Both handlers call the same function (not shown) that will populate child elements with fresh data.
private void OnLoad(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { displayData(); } private void updateSummary(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (GroupBoxPage.IsLoaded) displayData(); }

I'm the type of person who likes to colour code things to keep myself organized, and right now my second half of May has so many different colours of pen and highlighter that I'm tempted to just give up and start drawing happy faces and flowers over the rest of it. Amazingly, even though I have a dozen little seperate things all falling in that three week period, and somehow I haven't had any major timing conflicts yet. Where things get difficult is keeping the constant training and eating right mixed in with everything else that's going on:
May 10 - 13: Road trip to Nelson for a memorial. I need to not overdo it on travel foods and make sure I get at least 12k in on Sunday, even if that means running up and down a 1km strip of lake twelve times.
May 14: Three meetings, a new employee starting, and a workplace celebration involving cream puffs. Oh, and five expense reports to put together in one day, since I'm going to be out of town on the days I'd usually do them.
May 17 - 20: My dad is visiting. This means taking my parents out for a long walk (with ice cream at the end), getting dragged to a bar by my uncle (Yep... I'll be the girl in the redneck bar drinking only water with lemon), and a Sunday that will involve my last little 6k run, brunch, theater, and visiting with family all day.
May 21 - A stressful meeting that I'm organizing, and I don't actually have a topic for yet. I'm guessing that I can't get away with saying "Just talk for two hours and I'm sure something will come out"?
May 22-24: A work trip that was originally supposed to happen in June. At least my hotel has some much better eating options than the one I usually stay at. I'm going to try to get to the Red Deer running room for Wednesday run club (I just found out my aunt is working there now!) and keep myself on track as much as possible. It's a little easier now that we have offices in town instead of way out in the middle of nowhere, where your catering options are the one pizza franchise that's willing to deliver to the boonies.
May 26th: Oh yeah, there's a marathon in there.
??? - Nick's parents are also thinking of visiting at some point. Luckily, it looks like it might be happening in June.
So, while I was hoping to spend the next three weeks focusing on the race, it looks like I'm going to be juggling a few other things. That might be a good thing. I have my running schedule and I know how I need to eat, so I can put training in the background and focus on everything else. I have a feeling these weeks are going to fly by.

Efficacy of combined modality prophylaxis including short-duration warfarin to prevent venous thromboembolism after total hip arthroplasty. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16781396 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
This study reviewed the effectiveness of a trimodality deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylactic regimen after primary and revision total hip arthroplasty. Seven hundred five patients were treated with pneumatic compression, adjusted dose warfarin (7 days), and early mobilization. Bilateral lower extremity venous ultrasonography was obtained on postoperative day 3 or 4. The incidence of asymptomatic DVT, symptomatic DVT/pulmonary embolus events within 90 days of surgery, and potential influence of risk factors was retrospectively assessed. Deep venous thrombosis incidence was 4.4% with one (0.1%) nonfatal pulmonary embolus. Increased age, male sex, and DVT history were significant risk factors for thromboembolic events within 90 days of hip arthroplasty. The combination of short-duration warfarin and mechanical prophylaxis with predischarge ultrasound screening was safe and effective in limiting the occurrence of venous thromboembolism. |

Mires village, Heraklion Crete |
Situated within the Messara plain, 55 kilometres far from Heraklion at the Southwest, Mires is an inland town, the administrative and commercial centre of the broader area, with a population of some 6.000 permanent residents. Within the town you may see the tomb of Loghios, a famous Cretan hero
of the 1866 revolution against the Ottomans. |
Click on any image to enlarge |
Within the territory of the Monastery it is worth
seeing the church dating back to the 15th century and dedicated to Zoodochos
Pigi ("the source of life") and the tomb of Osios Charalambos. Two feasts
take place in the Monastery in honour of Panaghia (Holy Virgin) on the
15th of August and of Osios Charalambos on the 23rd of August. A series of cultural activities take place in July and August. If you are in Mires during the Carnival (February or March) you will enjoy the great carnival feast organised in the town. Mires is not a tourist destination and thus accommodation facilities
are restricted; however, the visitor of the area may find lodging in
the nearby tourist resorts. Access from Heraklion is easy by public bus, with frequent service, as well as by rented and private cars and motorbikes. |

homemade hot dog buns (dairy free)
it's been about three weeks since i waged war against all things Dairy. the change in my body and how i feel has been eye opening, as well as a relief. not necessarily revolutionary but the little things add up. i tried lactose-free yogurt that did not tear me up, it still wasn't that pleasant of an experience tho.
enter So Delicious coconut milk**. cereal has been reintroduced into my life. another cold beverage option. dairy-free.
it's not the most perfect option. there is quite a bit of confusing information about the benefits AND hazards of coconut milk on the internet. one can always find information to support either view points. from my point of view tho, it works. my stomach does not hurt after consuming this product. i don't intend to use it exclusively, there's still almond, soy, and kefir milks to try. and as with any food, moderation is key.
this past weekend was spent mostly indoors while Irene raged outside. dw & i enjoy hot dogs but most buns are either pure shit or have dairy products in the ingredients. i decided to make the buns. i modified the recipe to be completely dairy-free. the end result came with a slight coconut smell but thankfully did not have that sweet coconut after taste, instead it's a solid bread, hearty and non-stomach pain inducing. shape-wise, i am not a hot dog bun shaper (yet) and so we ended up slicing the dogs in two to fit between the buns properly. we topped them with caramelized onions.
Homemade Dairy-Free Hot Dog Buns
first seen at Bon Appetit Hon, adapted from My Kitchen Addiction
1 cup warm coconut milk
1/4 cup organic sugar
2 1/2 tsp dry active yeast
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
3 cups AP flour (more as needed, tho i did not)
*note: i used the kitchen aid mixer, with the dough hook
Combine warmed milk, sugar, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. ignore for 15 minutes while you measure and sift the flour. by this time, the mixture smells warm & yeasty, mix to ensure the sugar and yeast have dissolved.
add the coconut oil and egg, mix thoroughly. add in 1 cup of flour and beat to fully incorporate it. slowly add the remaining 2 cups of flour, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. pour dough onto lightly floured counter and knead gently until it is smooth.
put ball into a lightly greased bowl. cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in warm place until doubled in volume (1 1/2 hours). punch dough down, reshape and allow to rise again (another hour).
preheat oven to 425F.
shape rolls accordingly. as the oven is heating the rolls will swell a bit, no biggie. if you want, brush with egg wash to make it shiny. i didn't bother. bake for 11 minutes (original recipe calls for 12-14 min), until golden on top.
i ended up with 8 gigantore rolls. next time i'll bake slightly under and work on my shaping skills.
**note: this post was not endorsed by So Delicious. i did not receive any money or swag or whatever for mentioning them. they're merely a product that was on sale at the baltimore food co-op.
4 comments:
Dairy free caught my attention. I was at the supermarket the other day and surprisingly saw almond milk in a carton readily available at the dairy section. Do you think that'll work for you? Too much coconut milk is not good either (this from a girl very much into coconut milk, I love the stuff).
ReplyDeletemeister - i'm kinda now obsessed with the idea of making them again, but as hamburger buns.
pickyin - i recently tried almond milk and i like it better than coconut milk. it's nice to have variety tho. i also have rice milk to try too. :)
chi wc - alot of bread recipes call for powdered milk. i've been thinking about using non-dairy creamer instead. i'm treading lightly.

The United States Department of Energy (USDOE) is considering adoption of new test specifications and new test techniques for quality assurance testing of nuclear grade high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Proposed new filter test specifications require penetration measurements to be made at a particle diameter in the range from 0.1 μm to 0.2 μm rather than at a particle diameter of 0.3 μm which is currently required. The new specifications are aimed at making penetration measurements at or near the size of maximum penetration for the current generation of nuclear grade HEPA filters. The new test specifications provide a high estimate of filter penetration relative to the predicted penetration of field challenges in terms of aerosol size and aerosol density. This conservative estimate is required to assure that USDOE air cleaning systems adequately protect public and worker health and the environment in the event of unplanned release of hazardous materials.
Operational evaluation of a high flow alternative filter test system (HFATS) developed for the USDOE by Los Alamos National Laboratory is currently being completed. Interim results of this evaluation and results of laboratory and full-scale evaluations demonstrate that the HFATS is capable of providing measurements of filter penetration at specific sizes over the diameter range from ∼0.1 μm to ∼0.4 μm within the operational requirements of the USDOE Filter Test Facilities.

Grand opening info UNMC's hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center, will have a grand opening of the new Center for Clinical Excellence today. The outdoor dedication is at 10:30 a.m. on the west end of the new emergency room (if inside the building, enter off the main connector corridor). Employee self-guided tours are from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Center for Clinical Excellence, located between Clarkson and University Towers, houses the hospital's new emergency, radiology, neonatal intensive care and surgery departments. The public is invited to tour the facility on Sunday (Oct. 30) from 1 to 4 p.m. |
The Hixson-Lied Center for Clinical Excellence is more than a building - it is a place where miracles will happen and lives will be touched. It is, as one physician described, "the exclamation point" on the 1997 merger that created The Nebraska Medical Center.
"The innovation, hard work and detail that went into this building are astounding," said Glenn Fosdick, president and CEO of The Nebraska Medical Center. "It not only holds the future of medicine - it holds the heart of one extraordinary hospital and the people who will work here."
The four-story, $56.5 million building will house the largest emergency department between Chicago and Denver; a Newborn Intensive Care Unit that is built around sick and premature newborns and their families; a radiology unit equipped with the latest technology; and operating rooms, each designed for minimally invasive procedures and open surgeries, like liver transplantation.
Embracing it all is a name that has stood for generosity and community - Hixson-Lied. "A primary interest of Mr. Lied during his lifetime was the city of Omaha and the University of Nebraska," said Christina M. Hixson of the Lied Foundation Trust. "The Lied Foundation Trust has carried forward his dream of making positive contributions, and this project supporting clinical care will serve everyone well.
"The Center for Clinical Excellence will enhance the delivery of clinical care just as The Lied Transplant Center has done in providing cutting-edge health care. The Transplant Center has exceeded everyone's expectations, and the Clinical Center will do so as it brings together the best minds and finest health care facilities."
Said UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D.: "We anticipated that the merger of University Hospital and Clarkson Hospital in 1997 to form The Nebraska Medical Center would lead to a world-class institution providing cutting-edge health care to the citizens of Nebraska and beyond. We are achieving that goal. The best is yet to come from this merger."
This 165,000-square-foot building stands as a tribute to those who put their hearts, as well as their muscle, into its creation. "Every day, in some way, we were reminded of the need to build a facility that has a perfect, if possible, infrastructure and serves the ultimate need of the clinicians who will call it home for the next 20 years," said John Lehning, director of Facilities at The Nebraska Medical Center.
Lehning describes the construction project as one of the most complicated and delicate that he's ever been associated with.
"Because of its proximity to two functioning hospitals (actually sharing common walls), being built over a vacated road (Dewey Street) and being a very intense clinical environment with minimal administrative space -- it is by far the most complex job I have ever been involved with -- and I have done some awesome projects," Lehning said.
For Lehning and the crew of more than 650 tradesmen, the reward of this job is knowing their hard work will help, enhance and even save the lives of others.
"When patients come into the emergency department they are typically anxious, hurt or very ill - they just want our help," said Suzanne Watson, clinical manager of the emergency department.
The new emergency department, scheduled to open Nov. 10, will help patients get the help they need more quickly and efficiently. With 33 rooms, bedside patient registration and valet parking, patients will get in and out of the emergency department faster.
Spread across two floors, the radiology department also will streamline the patient experience by offering most of its services in one place. New, state-of-the-art radiology equipment can capture images of a heart in just five heartbeats and scan the whole body in about 10 seconds.
The operating rooms, the first of which will open in January, will be larger and each will be outfitted with the OR-1 technology and the equipment needed to do minimally invasive procedures or large open surgeries like organ transplantation.
Sitting atop the Hixson-Lied Center for Clinical Excellence is a place made just for premature infants and sick newborns. The Newborn Intensive Care Unit, which plans to open to families on Nov. 16, features 34 private suites where baby and family can bond in privacy and medical peace-of-mind.
Just next door to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit is an oasis in the middle of a hospital. The Rooftop Garden is a place where families and patients can go to escape the medical world and regroup, relax or rejuvenate.
"Each part of this building - each hallway, each exam room, each OR was designed with our patients in mind," Fosdick said. "This building is for them and for the hundreds of health care providers who will call this building - 'home.' "

Independence of the Seas Cruise Review by cruisingblues: RCCL Declining
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Independence of the Seas Western Caribbean Cruises
RCCL Declining
I am an experienced cruiser with at least six RCCL cruises amongst other cruise lines. I have enjoyed RCCL cruises on my honeymoon, and then as children came, as our family cruise vacations. As our children have now grown, I was looking forward to our first cruise as just a couple again, and looked forward to being on RCCL again. We booked an AFT junior suite. All I can say is how utterly disappointed we were at the decline this cruise line has suffered.
The food in the dining room was absolutely awful every night. The entertainment in the main theatre, which was once their main feature, was embarrassing --- a kid's camp could've done better, honestly. The cabins were worn, although clean, but there were NO amenities. That is, no bathrobe, no moisturizer, just some cheap shampoo and conditioner. I had to speak with a manager on board just to get a small bottle of moisturizer and a bathrobe. This is not how it was years ago at all. The manager told me he would ask my More
attendant to retrieve these items as a "special favor" for me, but that only "suite" guests are supposed to get these amenities in there cabins! Really? Even a Holiday Inn gives their guests moisturizer! Once the attendant brought these two items, he reminded me daily of the "trek" he endured having to go up to the tenth floor to "steal" some moisturizer for me. He was polite, but already posturing for a larger tip. Very annoying. The DJ in the night club was arrogant and would not take a request until the last night of the cruise -- even though at the time there was nobody on the floor dancing. On departure, the computer system crashed and all three thousand passengers basically disembarked at the same time. It was chaos and we waited hours in line for a taxi.
In summation, when the food and entertainment on a ship is lousy, there's not a whole lot more to say. I will not be cruising again with RCCL. Less

Stop embarrassing yourself! Even Joe himself knows the win was worthless. He himself said that the fight would be pointless, just a year before they actually fought. So why are you trying to argue, when Joe himself knows that it was worthless.
Jones was 39, Calzaghe 36. Hardly a massive difference in age.
Jones was back adjusted at LHW.
The Green fight was at CW and nothing to do with LHW. Also do you not recall that there was a glove query where Jones was looking to take action. Do you not recall Greens 1st round KO of Briggs with a jab after Briggs had given Adamek 2 tough close fights.
After that loss Jones fought Hopkins who became LHW champ again and put Hopkins down, where Hopkins couldnt beat the count, only for him to say the punch was on the back of the head and be given time.
Lets not forget that between the Calzaghe and Green fight, Jones looked very good in beating Lacy and getting rid of Sheika in 5 one sided rounds, the same Sheika who later fought world rated Diaconu and gave him a tough points fight. Explain
. Yet Jones beat him easy
I haven't answered the question, BECAUSE whatever I say, you'll argue against it. But why are you arguing anyway? I agree with you, that it wasn't a great win. I think it's a good win. Do you not think it was a good win for Toney? If not, please tell me why? Thanks.
I notice you duck questions and then as me questions when you wont answer mine. You do this as im not a ducker.
In answer to the question you have asked me. I would call it a fair win only. Jirov hadnt beaten anyone of note as a pro.
I don't advocate cheating in any way. But my personal opinion is, if they'd have been anything in it, his critics, the media, and all of the Organisations he represented, would have jumped on him. He represented a lot of people. HBO, Nike, the WBA, WBC, IBF, etc, he fought in places like New York, under their watch. So you're not telling me that it was all swept under the carpet, and everyone was corrupt and pretended it didn't happen? I don't believe that.
Believe what you want but look at how there were questions about Berto and Peterson yet they are free to box now, or look at how Morales was let to box or Chavez jnr with the queries that have come up there.
Read Zods thread which he wants to edit away
Anybody with an ounce of intelligence, knows that he wouldn't have fought Roy for less than a million.
Probably not if Roy wanted 10mil, but as said so many times You dont know that, so stop trying to argue what YOU DONT KNOW
Again it was a poor example to use. I understand exactly what you're saying. But we're talking about Joe Calzaghe fighting the Worlds best fighter. So the circumstances are completely different.
So you say we are talking about Calzaghe but earlier said he was an unknown
If you were talking about a journeyman boxer, then yes it would be a good example.
What was Calzaghe being paid then?
But again, we're talking about Joe moving up and fighting one of the greatest ever fighters. Ok?
How much did lesser fighter O Grant get and how much did Jones get defending against him, and remember Jones wanted 10 mil. Do you know what Calzaghe was being paid, because if Jones wanted 10mil and Calzaghe was getting (and I dont know, this is only an example before it confuses you again) 700k, then a million wouldnt sound unreasonable would it? To vacate a title. Still We dont know and cant say as YOU DONT KNOW

Beck, Passion Pit To Headline 2012 Governor's Ball
The 2012 running of the Governor's Ball, which debuted last year as a single-day festival, will be bigger and bolder than its inaugural outing. Held this June 23 and 24, the festival is moving to Randall's Island, expanding to two days from one, and hosting Beck (playing his first NYC show since 2008) and Passion Pit as its headliners. Note that the two-day length means flexibility for sanity in the scheduling, so there'll be no overlapping set times. This is such a simple detail for maximizing festival enjoyment and yet it's one that's really hard to pull off, so kudos to the organizers for having this brave vision in their sights. Full list of confirmed artists below. Beck.

Michael Paul Crist
August 27, 1942 - March 27, 2010
Michael Paul Crist, 67, died March 27, 2010, at Regency at The Park, in College Place, Washington. A memorial
service will be held 2:00 pm Tuesday, April 6th, at the Walla Walla Alliance Church at 902 Howard Street, with Pastor Steve Morris officiating. At a later date, there will be a graveside inurnment service at the Heppner Masonic Cemetery in Heppner, Oregon. Memorial contributions may be made to the Salvation Army through Mountain View-Colonial DeWitt, 1551 Dalles Military Rd, Walla Walla, WA 99362.
Survivors include Michael's wife, Karen Crist, at their Walla Walla home; son Dana Crist of Milton-Freewater, Oregon; and sister Cheryl Crist of Sterling, Colorado.
One of two children, Michael was born August 27, 1942, in Boise, Idaho, to Winnfred and Edith Gatewood Crist. After high school, Michael worked at a variety of jobs, but a birth defect in his heart made working difficult. A few of the later things he did included serving as a police officer in Stanfield, Oregon; working as an insurance agent in Moses Lake, Washington; being a flagger at race tracks in the Hermiston, Oregon area while he managed an apartment complex in Walla Walla; and taking care of the grounds at the Walla Walla Airport until his retirement in 1995. Michael married the former Karen D. Noguez on May 23, 1993 in Touchet, Washington. He enjoyed trap shooting at the Walla Walla Gun Club and was a 20-year member of B.P.O.E. Lodge #2146 in Milton-Freewater.

Re: 2013 Expectations for DeAndre Hopkins
At his best, he was getting 800+ yards per season in 2007 and 2008. Then he dropped down to about 500 yards per season in 2011 and 2012. That's just not getting it done. What KW brought us was a guy who blocked well, ran the right routes, and then caught the ball when it was thrown to him. Back in his prime, he made some great catches. If the ball was close, he caught it. Since then? Not so much. He was still OK but not as clutch as he had been. I expect Hopkins to be that same sort of player. I expect him to run precise routes, be where he's supposed to be, and catch the ball. He might not be as good a blocker at first, but I expect him to develop into a good blocker. But more importantly, I expect him to get better separation on his routes that KW. |

oh no wait i misread Starcy. sorry.
Brad McNamara @bbuzzmc
Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
SA are so so heavily dependent on the two quickies. an injury to either rules out any chance of them bowling out a decent opposition for an acceptable score. Australia have a more balanced attack in terms of pace at least + Lyon/Hauritz are bit more of a proven quantity than Tahir though his subcontinental skills could play a role.
Beer must not tour ahead of Hauritz. To do so would be clinging to the mistakes of the past and not learning from them.
Bollinger is a better bowler than Siddle and should be higher in the pecking order than he is. In fact the only quick who should get a guaranteed spot is Harris at the moment.
Before Copeland was picked people would be saying that he could never run through test sides because he's too slow. Truth be told he never did run through Sri Lanka but instead had quite a number of edges run through the slips for four. Which means that the real difference between first class and test matches is that in tests, they nick 'em harder.

#408. Sixty three not out forever.
Spurious reasoning mate. Different players have different weaknesses. Andrew McDonald did fine aginst SL when he played against them, as an example.
You pick your best bowlers. Siddle has had a lot of chances to be consistent, and he hasn't done so. It's not he can't bowl well, it's that he doesn't do it often enough (like Johnson).
Copeland played his opening series in fairly unresponsive conditions (first test aside) and not only bowled relatively well, he kept things tight, which is important too. He derserves to keep his place imho.
If Siddle, or even better Dougeh, was to come in for anyone, it ought to be Johnson, who has frankly bowled like a busted arse, Perth aside, for bloody ages. Again, it isn't that Johnson can't bowl - fmd, when he gets it right he's a force of nature.
It's just that he gets it right about once a year these days. Sad, but true. He's averaging mid-50s with the ball, I think, in his last half dozen tests or so.
My problem for MJ vs Siddle, is the former is a much better bowler when on song. Hence if I was going to persist with one of them in the hope they would fire it would be MJ. I agree that Bollinger is better bet however if your attack is Harris/Copeland/[Johnson, Siddle, Hilf, Bollinger]/[SOK/Lyon/Hauritz]. It also avoids the Siddle+ Johnson combo if Copes/ Harris gets injured.

Clippers ride sizzling Crawford to win
The Los Angeles Clippers rarely lose when Jamal Crawford leads the team in scoring.
Crawford insisted it has very little to do with him after his latest such game - one the Clippers played without Chris Paul.
Crawford scored a season-high 30 points, including 12 straight to start the fourth quarter, and the Clippers looked just fine without Paul in a 117-109 win over the struggling Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
The Clippers won their second game in a row despite missing their star point guard, who is day to day with a bruised right kneecap.
Los Angeles used a big third quarter to take the lead, and Crawford extended the advantage to 20 by outscoring Houston 12-7 in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Clippers improved to 11-1 this season when the 12-year veteran Crawford leads the team in scoring. Crawford seemed surprised when he learned of that statistic.
''It's everybody honestly,'' he said. ''I've got the easy job just scoring, but Grant, Blake, all those guys put me in a position to score ... I just have to make the shots, they're doing all the hard work.''
James Harden had 23 points for the Rockets, whose four-game losing streak is a season worst.
Los Angeles opened the second half with a 10-0 run to take a 68-59 lead with about nine minutes left in the third quarter. Eric Bledsoe, starting in place of Paul, scored the last five points in that span, ending it with a 3-pointer. Houston missed four shots and had a turnover as the Clippers built their lead.
''Willie did a great job for us in the third, and then Jamal obviously got going in the fourth to take over the game,'' Los Angeles coach Vinny Del Negro said.
The Rockets finally found some offense when Chandler Parsons scored their first points of the second half on a layup with 8 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. But the Clippers didn't let up, and Willie Green soon got hot. He scored eight points in less than a minute thanks in part to two turnovers by Omer Asik, extending the lead to 81-65.
His last three points in that span came when he was fouled on a two-handed dunk, bringing the entire Los Angeles bench to its feet, and then made the free throw.
Grant Hill was called for a foul on Toney Douglas late in the third quarter and Blake Griffin received a technical after jawing with officials following the call. Griffin was immediately pulled from the game and received an earful from coach Del Negro when he got to the bench.
''I think we just have to control ourselves a little bit more,'' Del Negro said. ''We can't be wasting points. We got a few technicals tonight. I got one on a difficult call against us. We just have to do a better job.''
Los Angeles entered the fourth quarter leading 90-77 after shooting 60 percent to just 38.9 percent by the Rockets in the third.
''We couldn't establish much defensively,'' Houston coach Kevin McHale said. ''We played one side of the court, on the offensive end, in the third quarter. We just gave in in the third quarter. We didn't have what we needed to have.''
Bledsoe and Griffin added 19 points apiece for the Clippers, and Matt Barnes had 18. Bledsoe's points were a season high and Green also had a season high with 15 points.
Bird, Jordan and Magic are among our top 10 players in NBA history.Crawford said the win was a perfect example of the way they want to play.
''That's what it's about. We do it collectively,'' he said. ''We all pull for each other and we're all in it together and that's how we win.''
Crawford had a spectacular run to start the fourth quarter where he made five straight shots, including a pair of 3-pointers to push the lead to 102-82. Houston called a timeout after his last bucket in that run and DeAndre Jordan dashed off the bench and met him for a celebratory jump and bump near center court.
The Rockets went on a 10-2 run later in the fourth quarter to pull to 108-96. But The Clippers responded with two 3-pointers sandwiched around a basket by Jeremy Lin to thwart the comeback attempt.
Harden was disappointed that the Rockets didn't get back on track in their one home game before four straight on the road.
''You can't do that, especially coming off a three-game road trip, a three-game losing streak,'' he said. ''We've got to be better, especially on the defensive end. We've got to guard in order to win games. It's simple.''
The Clippers were up by one point in the second quarter when Lamar Odom received his third foul. Del Negro received a technical for arguing the call and seconds later Odom was also giving a technical for arguing. Harden made just one of the two free throws, but Morris connected on a 3-pointer a few seconds later to give Houston a 39-36 lead.
Houston trailed by two about a minute later before using a 13-4 run to go on top 52-45 about 3 1/2 minutes before halftime. Los Angeles outscored the Rockets 13-7 for the rest of the quarter to cut the lead to 59-58 at halftime.
Parsons finished with 17 points and Lin added 12 points with 10 assists.
Notes: Tuesday was Hill's 1,000th career game, making him the 20th active player to reach the mark. ... Houston Texans stars Arian Foster and Andre Johnson watched the game from courtside seats. Foster received a nice ovation from the crowd as he walked alongside the court to his seat in the third quarter. The Texans lost to New England in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday.

This Southern classic favorite at the Thanksgiving table can always be made year-round as well.One day I had 1/2 cup of Karo syrup and used 1/2 cup maple syrup. It added a new taste & it was good! I also have used dark Karo, it gives the pie a darker color.
