Green Products Put Clorox in the Black
Green Products Put Clorox in the Black
Clorox's Green Works cleaners, Burt's Bees products and Brita water filters were some of the major drivers pushing the company's first quarter profit and sales above expectations.
In the company's first quarter, ending Sept. 30, net income rose 15 percent to $128 million and revenue climbed 12 percent to $1.38 billion.
Clorox saw growth in its Green Works, Burt's Bees and Brita lines, as well as in Glad ForceFlex trash bags, Fresh Step scoopable cat litter and Kingsford charcoal. The company also saw lower shipments of Pine-Sol and Clorox liquid bleach, toilet bowl cleaner and disinfecting cleaner. Last November, Clorox purchased Burt's Bees, and the company has been pushing filtered water as an alternative to bottled water (though the company hasn't addressed recycling those filtering cartridges in North America).
The company's Green Works line, launched in January, now includes a dishwashing liquid, all-purpose cleaner, glass and surface cleaner, glass cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, dilutable cleaner and bathroom cleaner. Clorox plans to unveil Green Works cleaning wipes next year.
When it launched, the Green Works brand gained a big boost with an endorsement from the Sierra Club - the group's logo appears on Green Works products - and all but the bathroom cleaner have been recognized by the EPA's Design for the Environment program.
Within its first eight months of existence, the Green Works brand was on track to generate over $40 million in sales, the San Francisco Chronicle reported last month. Although Green Works took the lead in most areas of green cleaning, other green cleaning companies like Seventh Generation and Method did not see drops in sales - they actually increased their shares of the cleaning market - meaning that Green Works was primarily being bought by people new to green cleaners.
The Green Works line has, though, hit a few snags, as various Sierra Club chapters opposed the group's involvement in the products, and Clorox had to modify some marketing claims after competitor S.C. Johnson & Son filed a complaint with the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus.

On-Line Fraud is Growing
Internet fraud can be any type of scheme that uses the Internet – chat rooms, email, message boards or websites – to deceive prospective victims. These schemes, scams and frauds take advantage of the Internet's unique capabilities – sending email messages worldwide in seconds or posting website information that is readily accessible from anywhere in the world – to carry out fraud quicker than ever possible in the past.
As a bank customer, you need to be especially vigilant to some of the newer frauds at work in cyberspace.
Fraudulent emails, appearing to be from a trusted source such as your bank, or a government agency, direct you to websites. Once there, you are asked to verify personal information such as name, account and credit card numbers and passwords. These sites are often designed to look exactly like the site they are imitating.
Cyber-Defense Tactics:
If you receive an email that warns you, with little or no notice, that your account will be shut down unless you reconfirm certain information, do not click on the email link. Instead, use a phone number or enter the web address yourself. Clicking on a link that looks legitimate may in fact direct you to a fraudulent website where your personal information may be compromised.
Before submitting any financial information to a legitimate website, look for the "lock" icon on the browser status bar, or look for "https" in the web address. Both are indications that the information is secure and encrypted during transmission.
Report suspicious activity to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Web spoofing allows an attacker to create a "shadow copy" of any legitimate website. Access to the shadow web is funneled through the attacker's machine, allowing the attacker to monitor all the victim's activities, including any passwords or account numbers the victim enters. The attacker can also cause false or misleading data to be sent to web servers in the victim's name, or to the victim in the name of any web server. In spoofing, an attacker gains unauthorized access to a computer or a network by making it appear that a malicious message had come from a trusted machine by "spoofing" the address of that machine. Phishing and spoofing often go hand-in-hand Internet fraud.
Cyber-Defense Tactics:
Be wary of unsolicited or unexpected emails from all resources.
If an unsolicited email arrives, treat it as you would a phishing source.
Identity Theft Frauds
Internet fraudsters often use identity theft as a starting point for larger crimes. In one case, criminals obtained the names and social security numbers of military personnel then used them to apply to a bank over the Internet for credit cards. In another case, stolen personal data was used to submit car loan applications online.
Cyber-Defense Tactics:
Keep a close eye on your account activity at your bank, either through statements or using their online services. Report anything that looks suspicious.
Your personal information can be obtained by "phishing," "spoofing," or the old fashioned way – dumpster diving. Make sure your unused checks, bills, and statements are shredded before discarding.
General Tips Against Cyber-Fraud
Don't Judge By Initial Appearances. Just because something appears on the Internet – no matter how impressive or professional the website looks – doesn't mean it's real. The ready availability of software that allows anyone, at minimal cost, to set up a professional-looking website means that criminals can make their websites look as impressive as those of legitimate businesses, banks or government agencies.
Be Careful About Giving Out Personal Data Online. If you receive emails from someone you don't know asking for personal data – don't send the data without knowing more about who's asking. While secure transactions with known e-commerce sites should be safe, especially if you use a credit card, non secure messages to both known and unknown recipients are not safe.
Be Especially Wary of Emails Concealing Their True Identity.
If someone sends you an email using a mail header that does not have useful identifying data
(e.g., email@example.com), it may be an indication that the person is hiding something and is not legitimate.
Review Credit Card and Account Statements as soon as you receive them to determine whether there are any unauthorized charges or suspicious charges/transactions. If your statement is late by more than a few days, call your credit card company or bank to confirm your billing address/account balances, and determine whether they have mailed your statement.
Watch Out For "Advance-Fee" Demands. Look carefully at any online seller of goods or services that wants you to send checks or money orders immediately to a post office before you receive the goods or services you've been promised.
Use Common Sense.

With its characteristic chequered black and white pattern this butterfly is quite distinctive although old, faded individuals can be mistaken for the Dingy Skipper or the Burnet Campion Moth.
It is distributed throughout the Palearctic region except the far North and the Iberian Peninsula, and eastwards as far as China and Korea.
Its main habitat in Britain is chalk downland but others used include scrubby grasslands, woodland clearings and disused artificial habitat. The butterfly occurs throughout southern and central England, and Wales, but has declined in several areas, especially in the non-chalk habitat.
Other plants used occasionally are Barren Strawberry P.sterilis, Tormentil P. erecta, Salad Burnet Sanguisorba minor, Bramble Rubus fruticosus, Dog-rose Rosa canina and Wood Avens Geum urbanum.
On hatching the caterpillars build shelters for use when they are not feeding. The larvae spin pupal cocoons and overwinter before emerging the following spring. The adult butterfly flies from the end of April until the middle of June.

Major League Baseball's 2013 Cy Young Award is a WWE title belt - PicAdd to Favorites | WWE Monday Night RAW
At this rate they'll have to replace the bats with folding chairs soon. Major League Baseball has unveiled their "trophies" for the two pitchers being given the 2013 Cy Young Award, and MLB seems to be going WWE.
MLB shared photos of the new Cy Young Award championship belts on their Twitter, and they are actually WWE Championship titles, with a bit of a redesign to theme them for baseball. The side plates recognize the winners, Max Scherzer for the AL and Clayton Kershaw for the NL, along with their respective teams. The center plate features a replica of the actual award that's been handed out for years.
No word on whether they'll still get the traditional plaques, as well. For comparison, check out the current WWE Championship title below:

Comments to the Tacoma City Council
Dear Mayor Baarsma, Honorable City Council Members:
My wife and I were dismayed to learn that the City of Tacoma is considering banning poultry in conjunction with its overhaul of the animal control ordinances. I understand that a hearing on this issue was held on December 12, 2006. I am sorry we did not know of the meeting because this is an issue of great concern to us.
We keep five hens in our backyard in Tacoma. They live in a clean and spacious coop. All of the eggs they produce are consumed in our home. We were very careful to check the Tacoma Municipal Code when we started raising them and were happy to comply with its provisions.
None of our neighbors have ever complained about our small flock. Indeed, our next-door neighbor tells us that our birds soothe him. Another neighbor is delighted to see our chickens bounding about catching bugs. We think they are an attractive asset to our neighborhood. It also is a wonder and a great pleasure for us to eat fresh home-grown eggs.
What are the policy concerns behind a total ban?
I ask this question seriously, especially given the fact that the proposed ordinance does not contemplate banning dogs or cats. I am not proposing such a ban, but rather am raising the point that certainly more public nuisances involve barking (and biting) dogs or howling stray cats than chickens. (I also note that the draft proposes banning rabbits—a quieter and meeker creature is hard to be found). Whatever the rationale may be for banning rabbits or chickens, certainly the same could be invoked more forcefully for dogs and cats.
I ask the Council to keep in mind that banning chickens is in fact a change in land-use policy. We use our shy quarter-acre to raise grapes, blueberries, raspberries, apples, pears, garden crops, and our chickens. The birds are integral to our production. The proposed ban would disrupt our attempt at producing wholesome food in an integrated and self-contained manner.
I also remind the Council that Washington State law frowns upon the drastic measure of a total ban on a previously recognized use:
"An ordinance requiring an immediate cessation of a nonconforming use may be held to be unconstitutional because it brings about a deprivation of property rights out of proportion to the public benefit obtained."
State ex rel. Miller v. Cain, 40 Wn.2d 216, 218 (Wash. 1952)(quoting Austin v. Older, 283 Mich. 667, 278 NW 727 (1938).
So the policy question is quite legitimate. The draft ordinance proposes to deprive a property right completely out of proportion to any readily identifiable public benefit.
The current ordinance is sufficient.
The current ordinance already prohibits raising other livestock without express permission from neighbors. 5.23.010. In addition, the code specifically regulates how chickens should be kept. For instance, it prohibits chickens at large. 5.30.020. It regulates how close to other dwellings they may be kept. 5.30.010. It allows for variances in situations in which neighbors approve. 5.30.030. The current ordinance reflects Tacoma's traditional progressive attitude of encouraging neighborly tolerance and productive use of land. There is no need to change these provisions.
But, if there is some pressing problem not known to some of us residents, wouldn't the proper and more sensible remedy be to adjust the existing provisions to address the issue? Instead of banning chickens altogether, address the specific problem, if there is one.
Backyard flocks are growing in popularity and allowed in many other cities.
I hope the Council is aware that other cities do not ban chickens, but in fact have actively encouraged backyard flocks. Madison, Wisconsin; Des Moines, Iowa; Portland, Oregon; and even the glamour girl to the north, Seattle, all expressly allow for backyard flocks. What is possessing Tacoma's leaders to abandon their city's heritage and go against the trend that is followed by other progressive and beautiful cities? I hope it is not a desire to turn Tacoma into some kind of sanitized cookie-cutter community. There are plenty of those to choose from elsewhere.
Consider that more people are interested in fresh food and locally-grown produce. Tacoma's successful Farmer's Market thrives on this interest. The City should encourage this trend. Backyard flocks are a simple, unobtrusive, and satisfying way of producing wholesome local food. A total ban on chickens is contrary to the interest of sustainable local (and small-scale) farming.
Many people we have met are delighted to know that we produce our own eggs. Visiting children are invariably fascinated. They are eager to learn of things that, in the past, were common knowledge. A ban on raising chickens destroys this heritage. Instead of children having the opportunity to actually raise their own bird, learn responsibility, and gain understanding about where food comes from, they would be forced to visit museums.
For these reasons, and for the personal reason that we enjoy our five hens in the backyard, I ask the City Council to reject the draft proposal with regard to poultry and rabbits.
In addition, I request a response to my question regarding the policy considerations and an actual copy of the proposed ordinance.
Thank you for your consideration.
Vic and Lauren Bottomly,
Tacoma, WA.

SO whatever happened with this? I am considering moving to Tacoma in a few years and really want chickens because I grew up with them.
- September 3, 2008 at 12:57 PM

Hi Kimbro,
We can have chickens in Tacoma, as long as their hutch is 50 feet or more from any residence (including your own house). But we can have only hens--no roosters.
- September 3, 2008 at 1:10 PM
- Kimbro said...
Do you know if the rules are different outside of city limits? If not do you know where I could look up that information. Roosters are the best part after all.
- September 6, 2008 at 5:16 PM
- Lauren said...
You might want to check the Pierce County Code to make sure nothing has changed, but last I knew roosters were legal outside Tacoma city limits. Other incorporated cities might have their own restrictions, so be sure to check any municipality you're considering. This is a particular Tacoma city ordinance.
- September 6, 2008 at 8:19 PM
Lauren, I wish your interpretation were true . . . unfortunately, any hutch/coop/housing needs to be 50 feet or more away from the PROPERTY LINE, not residence. This rules out so many typical urban/suburban lots, including ours.
Here is the Pierce County ordinance (which is actually 45 feet to property line): http://www.co.pierce.wa.us/xml/services/home/property/pals/pdf/psm%20ur%20summ.pdf
and the Tacoma City ordinance is similar : "B. The premises upon which such animals are kept shall have a total area of not less than 20,000 square feet and the premises upon which said animal or animals are housed and permitted to roam, shall be located not less than 50 feet from the adjoining property lines. " (this is ordinance 5.23.020)
I have neighbors with "illegal" chickens, but my husband just thinks it's a bad example for our children to knowingly disobey the law because we find it stupid. Which it is. Stupid law :-(.

The proper Tacoma Municipal Code cite is 5.30.010:
5.30.010 Keeping – Prohibited places.
It shall be unlawful for any person to keep chickens,
geese, ducks, pigeons or other domestic fowl in any
chicken house or building within a distance of 50 feet
from the nearest portion of any residence, dwelling,
hotel, apartment house or rooming house in the City
of Tacoma; and the keeping of chickens, geese,
ducks, pigeons or other domestic fowl as aforesaid is
hereby declared to be a public nuisance; provided
that this chapter shall not apply in areas in which
abattoirs or stockyards are permitted by appropriate
ordinances. (Ord. 22212 § 17; passed Sept. 30, 1980:
Ord. 16586 § 1; passed Jun. 14, 1960)
Your citation applies to horses, sheep, cattle, and goats.

Oooo, you are so right! That is reassuring for my friend in Tacoma. Sadly, I'm not in Tacoma and the general Pierce County rule applies, I'm afraid, to me.
I keep looking at it for loopholes, though. One is that, although the guy at Pierce County pointed to the page I linked, the actual wording he pointed to is, "45 feet for pens, stables or barns which enclose small animals and livestock." I keep wondering if a COOP is different than a PEN . . . am I just reaching?
Every time I phone Pierce County I get some disinterested individual who is irritated and bored by my question and makes up information on the spot. I've been told, "six chickens but no roosters", but they've not been able to give me the actual zoning reg, and searching online has yielded nothing over the years. One county phone lady said, "Of COURSE you can't have chickens! You're not on farmland!" Uhmmm . . . you making up that as you go along, there?
It is frustrating, but I do think there will be more and more pressure on this question in the coming years.

It does sound like PC is running kind of ad hoc...maybe schmooze with county council people and attend meetings and get active and get them to get it straight. Point to the Tacoma ordinance (though it allows hens but not roosters) and Seattle's as models.
If it's any consolation, our hens are in a hard molt, eating food, using litter, and NOT LAYING!

Thank you everyone for all your help. I am looking forward to heading out your way.

I'm getting ready to add a chicken coop & plan to follow the ordinance re: distance to neighbors, etc. However, it doesn't say how many hens one can have. Do you know if there are any rules on this? I was hoping for 3-6, but don't want to run afoul (ha ha) of the regulations.

Tacoma doesn't specify a number. You might want to check out the "chicken stories" I've run on Oikos mou, my primary blog, too. It's an eclectic blog, so just use the SEARCH box and type in "chickens."

Hi Lauren,
I'm a little late into this conversation, but I only now got out of an apartment and back into a house.
Looking through the Tacoma Municipal Code, I can find the recent rooster ban in title 17 which deals with animal control, but I can't find the updated code for chickens and nuisance.
I haven't taped it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm 50 feet away from the closest neighbor with a garage in between the coop and the property line.
Somewhere though, I thought I read 25 feet..

I've also recently escaped an apartment inside the Tacoma city limits and gotten back into a house, with a little dirt...about a quarter of an acre---in unincorporated Pierce County.
I did attend that city council meeting where they were discussing banning poultry. There was an excellent turn out of poultry and other small livestock keepers there, and I do believe it affected the outcome.
I have recently discovered that zoning in unincorporated Pierce County prohibits keeping ANY livestock on lots smaller than one acre...and only six chickens on lots of one to three acres. You might want to read Title 18A of Pierce County Code, and be sure and check out growth management plan applicable to your area.
I think this is going to get noisy, though... It's completely ridiculous, especially in light of the just-passed city of Seattle ordinance that allows up to eight hens per lot. And yet you have to be on more than an acre in unincorporated Pierce County to have any birds at all? LOL!

There would be no late inning heroics to save the Mississippi State Bulldogs Saturday afternoon.
During an afternoon where the Bulldogs simply couldn't solve Mercer pitching, they fell 6-1.
State scattered seven hits scoring just a single run. The Bears starter, Brandon Marker, was brilliant over eight complete innings mixing his pitches and keeping Mississippi State off-balance.
"He did a good job of locating pitches, spotting up," said MSU's Adam Frazier, who was 2-for-4 continuing his seven-game hit streak. "He changed speeds a little bit, I guess, and we couldn't get a timely hit. Tip your hat to him because he had a good day and we didn't come out and play like we should have."

Mercer opened the scoring in the top of the first when after singles from Nick Backlund and Travis Benn, Bulldog catcher Mitch Slauter allowed a passed ball, scoring Backlund from third.
The Bears added a run in the third and again in the fourth, pushing the lead to 3-0 by way of small ball.
"They were taking good swings and advancing runners with the bunt a lot," said Frazier. "They got a couple of home runs. They got the big hits and we didn't, that's what it takes to win."
Starting pitcher Nick Routt lasted just four innings for Mississippi State allowing three runs on nine hits with six strikeouts. Following the game, Routt felt like he pitched pretty well, but said it was just a good day at the plate for Mercer.
"To be honest, I felt like I was hitting the corners well," Routt said. "They just had a good approach. They are a hacking team and they come out swinging no matter who is on the mound."
The undoing of the left-hander was allowing the leadoff batter to reach base in each of his innings except the opening frame.
"That was the biggest challenge for me today, having leadoff men on base," Routt said. "That just puts you automatically in battle mode where you can't let that run score."

Mississippi State head coach John Cohen knew an off day was coming at some point and despite the outcome is pleased with the overall effort at this point in the season.
"Nick (Routt) and Evan (Mitchell) didn't have their best game (Saturday) although Nick struck out six and Evan punches out three," said Cohen. "We've played 16 games and I feel liked we've pitched it pretty well in 15 of them.
"When you look at the number of guys that are freshmen and sophomores that are on this baseball field for us right now and the number of division one games they've played in…I think we are at a stage where we are in a learning phase. We've got to keep learning and keep getting better each day. Hopefully (Saturday) we can chalk up to a good learning experience."

The Bulldogs got on the board in the sixth inning when Demarcus Henderson, who was 2-for-4, reached after being struck by a pitch. He advanced on a Trey Porter grounder and took third on a wild pitch. Wes Rea stepped to the plate and picked up an RBI sacrifice fly to right, scoring Henderson.
"The guys that are filling in are doing the very best they can," said Cohen. "The guys toward the bottom are playing some of their very first Division I games. They are getting blown up a little bit, they're getting beat."

State surrendered a season-high in hits by allowing 14.
Evan Mitchell entered the game in the fifth inning and gave State three innings allowing three runs on four hits while striking out three and walking three.
Chad Girodo and Trevor Fitts were the bright spots on the mound for MSU allowing just one hit combined over two innings of work.
Mississippi State and Mercer conclude this weekend series today with a 1 p.m. scheduled first pitch.View more articles in:

ACC College Football Preview | North Carolina vs Virginia Tech
- Updated: November 16, 2011
The No. 7 Virginia Tech Hokies will host the North Carolina Tar Heels on ESPN's Thursday Night Football, aiming for a berth in their fourth ACC Championship game in the last five years.
But just a week after making it through one test with a win at Georgia Tech, VT must first sneak by a very dangerous North Carolina team who expect to have quarterback Bryn Renner healthy for Thursday, before taking on ACC Coastal Division rival Virginia next week.
Tar Heels v Hokies
Venue/Stadium: Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, Virginia
Time/Date: 8:00 PM ET, Thursday, November 17, 2011
NFL Odds From: Betonline.com
Moneyline: OFF
Spread (ATS): Virginia Tech -10.5
Over/Under: 47
The last time the schools met on a Thursday in Blacksburg, the Tar Heels came away with a 20-17 victory in 2009.
And you can bet if Renner, who after being knocked out in the third quarter of as 13-0 loss at North Carolina State with a concussion last week, makes it into this one, it could be a repeat for the Heels who are desperately looking for a win after losing three of their last four games.
The sophomore quarterback was coming off his first career 300-yard passing performance in a win over Wake Forest when he ran into trouble against the Wolf Pack. North Carolina managed only three rushing yards against NC State and is 72nd in the FBS in rushing average at 144.8 yards.
The Heels totaled just 165 yards of total offense and turned the ball over three times before being shut out for the first time in five years.
Meanwhile, the Hokies who remain a single game ahead of the Cavaliers, who they play next week, controls their own destiny in its pursuit of an ACC championship and the BCS Bowl berth that comes with it.
A win over UNC would put VT in a good position to claim its fourth ACC Championship game in the last five years, and coach Frank Beamer would love to notch his 250th career victory in doing so.
And there is no reason to doubt that they can, as the Hokies has continued to roll along with a mission since suffering their lone loss of the season to Clemson.
Beamer's offense is running on all cylinders of late, going over 400 total yards in five straight games, and is coming off a strong performance in a 37-26 victory over Georgia Tech.
Quarterback Logan Thomas passed for three touchdowns and ran for another two — the second time this season he has totaled five scores in a game– while David Wilson continued his impressive season totaling 175 rushing yards.
North Carolina is 6-4 this season SU and 4-6 ATS. Virginia Tech is 9-1 SU and 3-7 ATS.
Matt's Prediction: Hokies 24, Tar Heels 14–While the Tar Heels have the ability to be unexpectedly explosive and have had a bye week to prepare for this Virginia Tech offense, they have run into a rough stretch over the last month, and I do believe that Thomas and Wilson will prove to be too much for the North Carolina defense.

Two gunmen attacked the headquarters of the Hargeisa-based independent newspaper Hubaal News Network at around 11:20 pm on Wednesday (April 24), injuring manager Mohamed Ahmed Jama, known as Aloley.
"We were finishing up our work on the newspaper when the gunmen attacked us. They immediately targeted our manager," editor Hassan Hussein Kefkef told Sabahi.
He said they hit Jama with a club, breaking his hand, but he fortunately survived when they missed a shot fired at him.
"The gunman shot his pistol at me and it hit the wall," Jama said.
One of the gunmen escaped, but newspaper employees captured the other one and handed him over to Criminal Investigation Department officials and security police, Jama said.
Evidence found on the mobile phone of the arrested man showed that officials from the Somaliland administration are involved in the crime, Jama said.
"Unfortunately, we have confirmed that the man who committed the crime is a member of the police force," he said. "He exchanged phone calls with government officials, such as the director of presidential transportation, a short while before the attack."
Chief of Police Brigadier General Abdullahi Fadal Iman confirmed that the arrested man was a member of the police force and is currently under investigation. He said they are also looking for the escaped gunman.
The Somaliland Journalists Association (SOLJA) and Somali Media for Peace and Development have condemned the attack, calling it the first of its kind in Somaliland.
"It is [a crime] against independence, freedom of the press, democracy and the system of governance and we condemn it," said SOLJA Deputy Chairperson Mohamed Abdi Urad.

Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
I know this post is really old but I was wondering if there was any progress made on the dual fireplce pizza oven. I really appreciate the images that have been posted as part of this link because the website it references doesn't appear to give you access...
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
I just saw this post. I guess I'm not the first crazy person to want their cake and eat it too... or pizza, fireplace and smoker. I finished the pizza dome this weekend and am beginning on the chimney. We have had several great fires in "Fireplace mode". I can't wait to see if it will cook a pizza.
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
the dynamics of a white oven are quite different from a conventional pizza oven. The hearth will be hotter (for it is above the flame) and the dome will be cooler than when licked with flames so the cooking dynamics will be differnent and will almost certianly demand some experiementation relative to our normal ovens to find the right combo of time/temp/results....
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
Why can't you have a fireplace with a chimney and it's own flue and. Then a pizza oven on the side or behind with its own vent/chimney running parallel to the fireplace's with some sort of plate that could be slid in or out to either "connect" or "separate" the 2 chimneys?
It seems this way you could have;
1) a pizza oven with a fire in the dome
2) a slide out "door" in the back of the oven that could join it to the chimney of the fireplace and be used as an ash/coal dump and then possibly use the whole thing as a smoker using the oven as a smoking chamber
3) a fireplace that is capable of being completely separate.
I also want to add a small grilling tray below the pizza oven, but that doesn't complicate the other 2 functions.
Does anyone see any issues with this line of thinking? Obviously I don't know anything about ovens, but was hoping to get some good info from some of you guys. Thanks
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
I have seen designs where a fireplace shares the upper portion of a chimney with a WFO. Since we built ours in the front yard on our patio, we were very restricted in size. The combination of fireplace pizza oven with the floor of the oven tilting to become the back of the fireplace works very well. The only difficulty is that when the floor is elevated for the fireplace, there is too much space open for the chimney to draw perfectly. I am cutting a stainless steel plate to be in place when in fireplace mode to reduce the volume and produce better draw.
We have used our WFO as a smoker for Thanksgiving turkey. Building a small fire in the fireplace with the floor down and the door in place worked amazingly well.
I like your idea about a grill. When the floor is up, there is a perfect shelf for a grill.
Hmmm. Pizza oven, fireplace, smoker, grill, baking bread... Everything but a microwave.
We had a wonderful winter with pizza parties ending with a blazing fire in the fireplace. As far as efficiency, two weeks ago, we cooked 60 pizzas for over 50 neighbors and baked a loaf of bread for breakfast
Hope this helps answer your questions.
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
I just posted the pictures to Flicker.
Here is the link:
Witness Patio Pizza Oven - a set on Flickr
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
I'm also interested in building a oven with fire below.
I have seen these available, they claim to reach 350C in 35min. I'm assuming they have less thermal mass.
I was thinking of building something between this and the Japanese oven on page 1.
I'm interested in comments on the following
1. will fire below oven get as hot and cook pizza as well as a traditional
pizza oven?
2. if I use less thermal mass with good insulation will the oven heat up faster and get hot enough. I'm not worried about cooking in it over night or the next morning so I don't see any advantage in it being hot a day after the fire has gone out.
thanks for you input
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
Unbelievable! Mechanical cooking tray? WOW!
Do you keep a fire going while you cook? How long does the dome retain heat? I'm loving the creativity. I got derailed last summer, but plan on starting my chimney/oven this summer after vacation once the kids are out of school here. I have my slab framed and re-bared out. Just need someone to come pour it.
Re: Fireplace Below/Pizza Oven Above
i just built a 36" rumford fireplace with a brick oven above and off to the side. due to chimney constraints i could only fit an 18" oven in the width that i had to play with. my experience is that you need a great deal of width due to the flue for the rumford and the thickness of the oven. i'm still in the process of finishing the flue inside the oven (i built a damper mechanism and have to finish the transition of the dome to the flue). i'm not sure how well this oven is going to work to cook pizza, but it should work very well as a bbq/roasting oven! this is the first and probably last oven i ever build and i found it to be quite interesting. i will try to post some pics of the whole process and be interested in what people think!

text: Turn the chip inside out Integrated circuits will only continue to get smaller and more complex. And with each new geometry shrink comes new difficulties in verifying, testing and characterizing the device. Different fault types, like parametric bridges, are manifested at smaller geometries and they can only be found with at-speed tests. And that means more time and more expensive instruments on automatic test equipment (ATE) where costs escalate by the fraction of a second. Plus testing complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices containing analog and digital blocks comes with an extreme premium cost on ATE systems where expensive instruments are needed to perform such tests. The ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments enhances chip test and debug by taking advantage of instruments already embedded in the chips themselves and the new breakthrough standard, the IEEE P1687 Internal JTAG (IJTAG) standard for embedded instruments. Now chip manufacturers have an alternative to loading up ATE systems with additional and more expensive instruments, driving up chip test costs astronomically. Inserting ScanWorks into the chip test process flow reduces the need for expensive ATE instruments and the time an IC spends on a costly ATE system. By tapping into the instruments already embedded in chips, ScanWorks achieves better test and diagnostic coverage while lowering the overall cost of chip test. In fact, ScanWorks could complement existing ATE chip test. ScanWorks FPGA-controlled test (FCT) could embed a chip tester into an FPGA on an ATE loadboard, reducing the need for expensive instruments and test time on the ATE system. Find out how ScanWorks tests and debugs chips from the inside out, not the other way around. Let us explain

I think mocking someone who had a heart attack was absolutely shocking, rather than heelish. It screamed vince mcmahon!
For instance, look at The Rock's heel persona back in 2003. The Rock's Hollywood gimmick was The Rock's greatest work as a heel. His Hollywood, snobby persona made for a perfect heel character. Although he was getting booed by most of the fans, there were some fans who still cheered for The Rock because, well, hes The Rock. They didn't want to boo The Rock no matter what.
Another example is Stone Cold's heel turn back in 2001. Stone Cold turns heel, joining forces with Vince Mcmahon. Stone Cold was at his best as a heel, putting on great matches with The Rock, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, etc. The fans hated Austin for turning his back on the WWE when he joined the Alliance but there were some fans that just didn't want to boo Stone Cold because they saw him as cool and edgy, especially since he saved the WWE from folding. Of course you were going to have a few who weren't going to boo him. Still doesn't mean he wasn't over as a heel.
One more example would be Hulk Hogan's heel turn and forming the NWO. Hulk Hogan turned on WCW by joining forces with Hall and Nash which shocked many fans. The fans felt betrayed at Hogan as well as the other WCW wrestlers that joined the NWO. Although you had many fans who felt betrayed by Hogan turning his back on the fans, you had people who loved the new Hollywood Hulk Hogan because they finally saw him as cool and edgy even though he was the most hated heel in wrestling at the time.
So it's not a case of CM Punk not getting over as a heel because hes already over as a heel. It's a case of some fans not wanting to boo him because of his heel persona which is seen as cool and edgy to them.
Stone Colds heel turn in 01 didn't work, even Vince admitted it was a mistake.
I'm sure Vince said that the heel turn was a mistake because of Austin not wanting to work as a heel, not because he wasn't over as a heel.
I'll admit that punk is more over as a bad guy now than Rock or SCSA were, but when they have him mock Lawler's heart attack, thats how you know He's not quite there.
TL;DR: Doing heel things + majority of fans cheer != not over as a heel
The CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy was the best heel work CM Punk has done so far in the WWE because Jeff was over like crazy and when Punk turned he would get booed out of the building just for even cashing in the MITB against Jeff. The stuff they had going on for this feud was awesome. If Jeff were to return I would definitely love to see these two go at it again.

Did Harry Styles Dump Taylor Swift Because She's a "Prude"?
Now it's getting really awkward.
Taylor Swift just tweeted a hint/threat/tease about heading back into the recording studio, possibly to write something about ex-boyfriend Harry Styles. Meanwhile, an unnamed source supposedly close to Taylor told RadarOnline, "Taylor is so concerned that the public will think she's a wh*re because she dates around, that she doesn't put out. What she doesn't get is that the guys keep dumping her because she's being a prude."
Ouch. Total Catch-22.
Another source told the site that Harry found Taylor "a little sexually uninterested" and wouldn't "put out as often as he would've liked." It was also added that he's a sexually active guy who likes to party, whereas Taylor talked about stuff like antiques too much. (This is what happens when you date an 18-year-old pop star. You can't exactly expect maturity. Just ask Selena Gomez.)
It sounds like Taylor's just picking the wrong guys. Why didn't it work with a "nice guy" like Tim Tebow? Too boring for her? She too boring for him? Actually, she should probably just stay single for a while. There are plenty of other things to write songs about!

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Hi all,
I have a 9GB drive with Windows 2000 installed on it. I wanted to make a
dual-boot system, so I added another 2.5GB IDE drive I had lying around
(jumpered to slave). Then I setup an FTP installation of RedHat's Wolverine
and let it run during the weekend.
On return, I had a Red Hat Linux bootable installation on hdb. I also made a
boot disk. fdisk shows:
Cylinders Device Type
1-5 /dev/hdb1 boot
6-621 /dev/hdb2 extended partition
6-604 /dev/hdb5 /
605-621 /dev/hdb6 swap
Where cylinders are 8164*512K = 4MB each.
To make a bootfile for NTLoader to load linux, I did:
dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
then I copied this file to diskette.
To get Windows 2000 back (and in accordance with the Linux-NT HOWTO on
www.linuxdoc.org), I booted a DOS disk and ran fdisk /mbr, then repaired my
NT bootsector using the repair procedure. (Actually, I've done this twice
... the second time, I just fdisk'ed). After I could boot to W2K, I copied
bootsect.lnx onto C: and added the following line to boot.ini
C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Red Hat Linux (Wolverine)"
Now, when I tried to use NT Loader to get to Linux, I get the error:
BOOT Failed
However, I can boot W2K. I can also boot to Linux using the boot disk. So, I
tried copying the floppy's boot sector using
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/bootsec.lnx bs=512 count=1
but this generates the same results.
I don't want to run LILO, since that will overwrite my NT Bootloader. I
tried that already, that adds the line:
to /etc/lilo.conf and erases the NT Bootloader, until I fdisk it.
Any hints on completing this? I can dual boot by inserting the floppy, but
I'd like to manage the process in NT Loader.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy Wednesday pledged to continue his support of education reforms in general and early childhood slots in particular at a groundbreaking of a center in Fair Haven Heights that will expand accredited pre-school options for low-income children.
As the state clears a minimum $363 million shortfall this fiscal year and is looking at a $2.3 billion deficit over the next two years, Malloy gave early childhood programs high priority, but he stopped short of any promises on the level of funding.
"Nothing is off limits, but there are last items and early childhood would be a last item, I can assure you," Malloy said of funding cuts.
The Friends Center for Children, which is being supported with $1.75 million in state bonding with the rest of the $4.35 million to be raised privately, is expected to open next fall and serve 70 children, ages 3 months to 5 years, with 36 of the slots saved for families that ordinarily could not afford the full-day, year round care.
Malloy, in addressing the crowd of educators and meetinghouse members at the groundbreaking ceremony and luncheon, said early childhood funding "is the biggest bang for the educational buck that you can possibly have."
In his first biennial budget last year, Malloy invested some $6 million in early learning initiatives and funding for 1,000 additional slots for preschool options.
He said one of the many pluses of the Friends Center for Children is its location in New Haven, where the need is great for low-income pre-schoolers to have access to quality child care.
Malloy said said educators have to rethink "the most expensive model" for preschool for one that educates "as best as possible" the most children.
Malloy predicted if children came to kindergarten with at least one year of quality preschool and knew how to behave, the state's troubling academic test scores would increase substantially.
"This is an important downpayment to getting the job done in Greater New Haven," Malloy said of the center.
There has been a early childhood center in the basement of the Quaker's New Haven Friends Meetinghouse for the past 11 years, under the direction of Executive Director Allyx Schiavone.
, where a contingent of Quaker membership have worked since then to greatly expand its diverse program that balances children from income levels and racial backgrounds while offering scholarship aid to make that possible. Of the 18 children in the current program, 10 are from low-income families.
"Fights are worth having in the legislature, if they lead to real change," Malloy said of the ambitious education package that was adopted last year.
He said Connecticut used to be a leader in education, something he wants to reclaim
"We've got to get outside our box. We've got to get outside our own way of doing things," he said.
Rethorically he asked teachers in the audience who they would spend more time with in a classroom - the child who is ready to learn or the one who needs the most help.
"Regardless how you answer that question, it is the wrong answer because we should never have to answer that question to begin with," Malloy said.
Schiavone reacted emotionally to his remarks saying they validated her career in the model developed at the center.
The program is funded through school readiness funds, as well as tuition and private donations. Tuition ranges from $22 a month to $1,365 a month, depending upon the ability of a family to pay.
The new building is geared toward young children and is environmentally focused with a geothermal, radiant slab to keep the floors warm, floor to ceiling windows, a rooftop garden and a rainwater harvesting system. It operates as a co-op with heavy parental involvement.
State Sen. Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven, said as a lawmaker not all requests for assistance generate the same degree of enthusiasm. "This was one that I had a high degree of enthusiasm about because I know how precious it is and how valuable the cause is," Looney said.

Dr. Temple Grandin on "Talking Animals"
Talking Animals Jan 23 2013 9:00AM - 10:00AM Add to Calendar
Listen Again
My guest on "Talking Animals" Jan. 23 will be Dr. Temple Grandin, the internationally-renowned expert on animal cognition and autism.
A professor of animal sciences at Colorado State University, Grandin herself is autistic, and much of her work is rooted in her thesis that animals and autistic people share some fundamental cognitive traits, including that they think visually, rather than verbally.
She has written a number of bestselling books on these topics, including âAnimals in Translation,â âThinking In Pictures,â and âAnimals Make Us Human.â
In 2010, Time Magazine named Grandin one of its 100 most influential âHeroesâ for her work as an animal and autism advocate. Her designs for corrals that reduce stress in cattle being led to slaughter revolutionized the livestock industry and are now used by half the U.S. cattle industry.
Dr. Grandin is also a consultant to major food manufacturers on humane slaughter practices (yes, we recognize for some that this phrase constitutes an oxymoron) and animal behavior. Claire Danes portrayed Grandin in the Emmy-winning HBO film âTemple Grandin.â
Dr. Grandin will speak with us live on "Talking Animals" on Jan. 23 at 11am, and listeners are invited to participate in the conversation by calling (813-239-9663) or e-mailing (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Bryan man with multiple DWIs gets sentenced to 10 years

A Bryan man who violated his probation after multiple DWI convictions has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Lawrence Paul Gargano, 50, was sentenced Dec. 18 to the maximum possible sentence, said Jason Goss, a Brazos County assistant district attorney.
According to online law enforcement records, Gargano received his first DWI conviction in Harris County in 1992.
In subsequent years, he racked up at least four more DWI arrests, pushing the offense to the felony level.
In March, Gargano was placed on probation, which included the conditions that he not drink and use an "interlock" device in his car. The device requires the driver to blow into it to demonstrate no alcohol impairment before the car will start.
Gargano was arrested in August, when he was found to be driving without a valid license, and his vehicle had no interlock device, resulting in his probation being revoked, Goss said.
There was no evidence that he'd been drinking at the time, but he admitted drinking over the summer, the prosecutor said.
"We weren't giving him a whole lot of opportunity to mess up," Goss said.
In general, Goss said, Brazos County, under District Attorney Jarvis Parsons, takes an aggressive approach toward people arrested on DWI charges.
"We live in a college town, where there are a lot of DWIs," Goss said. "It's important to treat them aggressively."

Thos. Moser Fall 2012 Catalog
As we head into our fifth decade, our hope is to build an even stronger sense of community among the folks who build and sell our furniture and to continue to furnish homes, offices and schools with American-made objects of beauty and utility. Objects that in some small way enrich our lives and are passed onto the next generation as part of a material legacy. Our work is guaranteed for a lifetime, but will most assuredly be around for more than one.

Both sets of my grandparents lived most of their lives in Owen County. I will use the next few paragraphs to try and explain what they have meant to me.
My dad's parents – Joe and Annabel Lawrence – lived most of their lives in Monterey. My grandfather was a farmer and worked for a while at the cheese factory in Owenton. I only saw him get riled one time in all of the years that I knew him.

Hand-carved Leaf and bird cuckoo clock with 5 leaves and 1 bird. Eight day German Regula movement, gong and cuckoo on the hour and half-hour. Light pine finish and 2 year warranty.
This charming and inexpensive cuckoo clock gives you all the basic functions of a traditional cuckoo clock. The leaves and bird are hand-carved from solid Linden wood. When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour, the door opens, a cuckoo bird appears and calls along with the clock's gong strike.
The mechanical brass movements is driven by two cast iron weight shaped like pine cones and time escapes with the tick of a traditional pendulum moving back and forth. The cuckoo call sound is made by two wooden whistles with bellows inside the clock case.
This clock is hand-made in Germany and is available thru Cuckoo Kingdom, Inc. Even the packaging has old-world charm, as only paper is used. The factory packing is all made with recycled materials.
This design is the most popular of all cuckoo clocks, and therefore is available with many different movements and configurations. If you like this clock, be sure to also check out model 1200, 8200 and 8200W.
*Note Video shown is of the 1 day cuckoo clock. The 8 day cuckoo is wound only once per week and has much larger weights.

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

Lady Gaga is continuing on with her non-stop promotional tour of "The Fame," even taking time to stop by NBC's Titanic lifeboat, the S.S. Jay Leno, for a quick "Bad Romance" jaunt. Last night's theme seemed to be "S&M Plane Makes Water Landing," as a group of Pulp Fiction gimps did the Thriller dance behind Gaga, wearing a jacket with built-in headrest. Still love this song, but it should be noted that the back-up dancers totally steal the show. J-ing off and Riverdancing? Yes and yes.
This was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as my new favorite jam (admittedly from '07) discovered while perusing RuPaul's Celebrity Playlist on Itunes. (NSFW)

Stunt-casting much? The cast of Gossip Girl is heading off to college (NYU, 'natch), and they'll be joined by Hilary Duff, who'll be playing Olivia Burke, a famous film star in search of the normal college experience (coughOlsentwinscough). The twist? She's rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr).
I'm sorry, I'm trying very hard to find an angle to this story that I care about, but it's not happening. The days of GG are numbered, I'll tell you that. I can only pray that the nauseating NYC Prep will meet a similar fate, and soon.

This week on "UPFRONT with Mike Gousha," big federal spending cuts are set to take effect next week. What's the effect of the sequester on the national economy, and what's the likelihood Congress will act to stop it? "UPFRONT" asks U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin.
Then, Gov. Scott Walker proposes a big expansion of the school voucher program into nine more districts. Mike Gousha asks state Sen. Mike Ellis, R-Neenah, if the Republican-led Senate will go along with it.
It's all this Sunday on "UPFRONT with Mike Gousha."

As if callers who mumble over the telephone weren't maddening enough, the way conversations are squeezed down phone lines masks many words as well. But an analysis of how phone systems distort the human voice might lead to clearer conversations.
Both landline and mobile phone systems transmit a limited range of frequencies, from 300 to 3400 hertz. But that snips out the higher and lower frequencies that help us to tell "b" from "d", "m" from "n" and words like "failed" from "sailed", for example.
Rebuilding phone networks to increase bandwidth would be prohibitively expensive, but engineers from the University of Florida in Gainesville have worked out how to reconstruct the lost sound, they told this week's Acoustical Society of America meeting in Providence, Rhode Island.
They compared raw speech with what is received at the end of a phone to work out which frequencies in the 50-to-300 hertz and ...
