1 (1 pound) loaf

1 tablespoon
2 pounds
processed cheese food, cubed
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons
prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon
prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon
garlic salt, or to taste
1/2 (12 ounce) can
beer, room temperature
I made this last night to take to a bbq. Although I started rye bread, I didn't finish it before leaving, so I served in a whole wheat loaf instead. It is very easy and quick, but it quickly solidifies as it cools, so I think it might be better served in a crockpot or fondue pot. I thought about using my crockpot, but I only had a 1/4 of the Velveeta called for, so I didn't have enough to put in the crockpot. It has a good flavor, but I probably should have put in a little more beer. I was thinking it would be too runny, but it really does thicken up quickly, so probably the more beer the better. Thanks for the recipe.
I have made this several times and every time it is always a hit! I find it gets cold and hard if you serve it as suggested...so I have started serving it in a small crock pot! I have also tried serving with different things...raw veggies, apples and warm soft pretzels.

|Irish Coffee: Four Paul Pierce Celtics trade scenarios
|01.18.12 at 3:48 pm ET
By now, you've probably heard Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski's report that "several contending teams" have contacted the Celtics to gauge Paul Pierce's availability on the trade market.
- As Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen become free agents this summer, money will peel away from the salary cap. Between then and now, the bigger question promises to be: Does ownership and general manager Danny Ainge go for the complete rebuild and trade Pierce before the March 15 deadline? Several contending teams have inquired about Pierce's availability. As one Eastern Conference official said, there are 'lots of calls asking if [Boston] will blow it up.'
Based upon 42 comments Tuesday on WEEI.com about this item, fans fall into two camps: 1) Those who can't handle The Truth being traded; and 2) Those who'd send the captain's ship sailing for the right package in return.
Ainge falls into the latter camp, if only because he's said time and again over the past year that nobody is off limits in his attempt to keep the Celtics relevant in this post-Big Three era. His sole goal is to avoid watching Pierce, Garnett and Allen grow old and gray in green as Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish did in the 1990s.
Heck, Ainge explored trades involving Pierce prior to Garnett and Allen's arrival, when the captain was in the midst of his prime, so why would he be afraid to pull the trigger on the right deal involving a now 34-year-old Pierce with a $32 million price tag over the next two seasons? Just because teams are calling doesn't mean Ainge has to listen, but here are four deals that might keep him on the phone. Read the rest of this entry »
|Irish Coffee: Celtics Get No Respect
|10.07.10 at 10:02 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
NBA.com released its ninth annual GM Survey, and I'll tell ya: Rodney Dangerfield got more respect than the Celtics. Sixty questions were posed to the league's general managers. Here are the highlights (or lowlights) …
- 63 percent of GMs believe the Lakers will win a third straight title. The Heat got 33.3 percent of the vote, and Boston got the remaining 3.7 percent. However, 100 percent of GMs think the C's will win the Atlantic Division, so they've got that going for them.
- 75 percent of GMs believe the C's are the best defensive team in the NBA, and Rajon Rondo received the most votes (32.1 percent) as the NBA's best on-the-ball defender. Defense wins championships, no?
- Kevin Garnett picked up votes for best defensive player and best interior defender in the league, but Dwight Howard dominated both categories.
- 66.7 percent of GMs predicted Kevin Durant would win MVP. Kobe Bryant was next on the list with 25.9 percent of the vote. Semih Erden did not receive a vote … yet.
- 55.6 percent of GMs would take Durant to start their team. Only 25.9 percent said they'd take LeBron James. To me, this is the most surprising outcome. In 2009, LeBron got 78.6 percent of the vote . Apparently, his reputation took a hit within the NBA, too.
- Not a single GM picked Rondo as the NBA's best point guard . Deron Williams got half the votes, followed by Chris Paul (35.7 percent), Steve Nash (10.7) and Chauncey Billups (3.6). Billups over Rondo? Really?
- The only Celtic to receive a vote for best player at his position was Garnett, and he finished well behind co-winners Pau Gasol (isn't he a center?) and Dirk Nowitzki.
- Ray Allen won two categories: best pure shooter and best at moving without the ball. Ray also received a vote for the player who will make the best coach.
- GMs believe Doc comes up with the best defensive schemes in the league. Doc Rivers received a vote for the NBA's best coach, but Phil Jackson won in a landslide. The "who's the best manager/motivator of people" vote was closer, but Jackson still won (46.4 percent to 26.8).
- Believe it or not, the C's Luke Harangody is the most likely rookie to be a sleeper success.
- The Garden is not the hardest building to play in. EnergySolutions Arena in Utah is.
|Pierce officially in Three-Point Shootout
|02.05.10 at 3:37 pm ET
Paul Pierce is now officially among the field of six who will take part in the NBA Three-Point Shootout on Sat., Feb. 12, in Dallas. Pierce's 46.7 percent from long range this year leads the group, though his 37.0 percent career rate from distance is the second worst among the six competitors, behind only 2009 champion Daequan Cook of the Heat.
No member of the Celtics has won since Larry Bird took each of the first three Three-Point Shootout titles, from 1986-88. Read the rest of this entry »

If you have ancestral roots in NC, be sure to check out DigitalNC. Many of the colleges and universities in the Old North State have posted their yearbooks on "DigitalNC: North Carolina's Digital Heritage." The years covered are 1890 - Present. Of course, not all the schools' yearbooks go back that far and not all years are posted within a given schools set of yearbooks, and sometimes folks just didn't take pictures. But, if your ancestor's decided to have their picture included in the yearsbook, it is invaluable in finding out what ancestors and family members looked like in their younger days. It's also a terrific way to see how styles and fashions have changed over the years.
Among the postings for the The Ram, Winston-Salem State Teachers College / University's Yearbook, I found my two aunts.

And if any relatives or friends get any bright ideas about trying to find me among yearbook listings on DigitalNC, I am one of those wonderful people that never took a picture.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs president Hall: 'We have the parts here' to win
Despite the Arizona Diamondbacks' 73-72 record, team president Derrick Hall doesn't feel like he's part of a .500 team.
Instead, Hall said Thursday, it feels like the team is hovering around 10 games below .500 because of the multitude of opportunities it's missed this season.
"It's been a good season," Hall told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "But I don't want good seasons. I want each season going down to the last few days if we aren't running away with the division like the Dodgers are doing."
Hall said that the D-backs' ownership makes it possible to stretch the team's payroll in the offseason if it has an opportunity to add a position of need � perhaps a quality rotation piece or corner outfield bat � though any additions will likely come via trade.
Arizona finds itself in a unique position with regard to its impact players. Both Patrick Corbin and Paul Goldschmidt are under club control through 2018, with Corbin making less than $500,000 until he's arbitration eligible in 2016, and Goldschmidt finishing the first season of a five-year, $32-million extension he signed during the offseason � a bargain for a .300-hitting first baseman with 40-home run potential.
But while their two best players are under control at a team-friendly price, the D-backs have a large portion of their $89.1 million payroll tied up in players that are either under-performing or off the roster.
Catcher Miguel Montero is owed $50 million through 2017, and while he's become one of the better defensive catchers in the game, he's hitting .230 with just 23 extra-base hits. Recently traded outfielder Jason Kubel is making $7.5 million this year with a $1 million buyout after the season, and the D-backs are paying the vast majority of the money he's still owed.
Brandon McCarthy is owed $10.2 million in 2014, and despite showing improvement over his last several starts, is 4-9 with a 4.66 ERA and missed more than a month with shoulder issues. Trevor Cahill � the owner of a 6-10 record and 4.22 ERA this season � is owed up to $46.7 million through 2017.
"We can't just sit on our laurels and say that we had injuries this year and we'll have a better next year," Hall said. "We owe it to our fans and players to try and get better. But if the guys we have produce, we'll be fine."
Hall also added that a team-record 23 extra-inning games and near-MLB record 75 extra innings have likely taken a toll on the team's health and ability to put together a lengthy winning streak.
"We're talking about eight or nine more games because of all the extra innings," Hall said. "It's tough to play 170 games."
But Hall said the D-backs can still finish the season strong and build momentum for next year.
"We had a disappointing season, but that's because our expectations are high," Hall said. "People are asking for massive changes, but we don't need to. We have the parts here."

Pfeiffer students spend spring break participating in service and adventure
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 ( 2:34 pm )
Most college students go home or to the beach for spring break but seven Pfeiffer students joined two student trip leaders on the Alaska Malamute Service & Adventure Experience sponsored by Pfeiffer's Center for Outdoor Leadership.
Sophomore Lindsey Sisco, student trip leader and Junior Zach Thompson, assistant student trip leader, led students to Wayeh Kennel located in Spring City, Tenn., which specializes in breeding Alaska Malamutes and training them for work in the show ring, therapy and as house pets. Additionally, the leaders incorporated an educational visit to an aquarium and hiked to the summit of Crowder's Mountain.
At Wayeh Kennel, students met owner Sidney Helen Sachs and began work on two projects: clearing a tiered embankment and moving two tons of dirt into flower beds. Student continued working on those projects, cut and cleared trees trapped on the exterior fence and set fire to two large burn piles while working with the rescue dogs. Ms. Sachs, Lori Hicks, owner and trainer at Masasyu Alaskan Malamutes Kennel and Michelle Epona Kennel & Trainer, spoke about what it means to own a dog, being a responsible dog breeder, and how that relates to rescuing dogs.
According to trip leader Lindsey Sisco, the most impactful comment came from Lori Hicks.
"She told us a personal story about how she rescued three dogs three days after a fire completely destroyed her home,†Lindsey said. "It was a very moving personal testimony that demonstrated her love for animals.â€
After leaving the kennel, students had planned to hike to Bridle Vail Falls in Dupont State Park. However, poor road conditions prevented travel. Instead, the trip leaders quickly developed an inclement weather plan involving an educational visit to the highest rated aquarium in the country, Tennessee Aquarium, located in Chattanooga, Tenn.
"The Outdoor Adventure & Service Experience fits the University's mission of servant leadership perfectly,†said Quinton McKissick, director of outdoor leadership and recreation. "Nine students participating in two days of service on their spring break is not normal practice for college students, and I am very proud of their dedication to serving others.â€

Wildcats Conclude 2012 Home Schedule with Senior Night
Nov. 15, 2012
After its lone bye week of the season, the University of Kentucky football team will return to game action this weekend when it completes its 2012 home schedule with a non-conference battle with Samford on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Commonwealth Stadium. The game will serve as Senior Night for Kentucky, who will honor a total of 19 seniors before the game.
The bye week was much welcomed for the Wildcats who have had an injury-filled 2012 season. The bye week began with the announcement that head coach Joker Phillips would not be retained following the completion of the 2012 season. Phillips will coach the Wildcats against Samford and Tennessee.
UK entered the bye week off a loss to Southeastern Conference foe Vanderbilt. UK junior linebacker Avery Williamson was the story of the game for UK, gathering a career-best 20 tackles and a fumble forced. Williamson's 20-tackle game was the first by a Wildcat since Chad Anderson had 21 tackles against Georgia in 2003. Williamson now leads the SEC and is third nationally in tackles per game at 11.5. The native of Milan, Tenn., has earned double-figure tackles in seven games this season.
Kentucky continued to get experience from true freshman quarterbacks Jalen Whitlow and Patrick Towles. Whitlow completed five passes for 66 yards and seven rushes for 23 yards against VU, while Towles completed eight passes for 93 yards. Freshman wide receiver A.J. Legree led UK in receiving with three catches for 47 yards, while senior Aaron Boyd also had three catches for 28 yards.
UK will conclude the 2012 season next weekend at Tennessee.
More: Phillips Recalls His Senior Night Memories, Ready for Samford
Cat Scratches: Sending off seniors the first step toward UK's future
Change is at Kentucky football's doorstep.
Sometime in the coming weeks and months, a new head coach will be named. He will then sit alongside Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart and spell out his vision for the program, triggering an offseason of team and individual meetings, recruiting and practices designed to build toward an unprecedented level of success at UK.
But first, the Wildcats must close out the 2012 season. Looking to finish a disappointing season with strong performances in their last two games, the Cats hope to build some momentum heading into an offseason of transition beginning with a win over Samford on Saturday.
"For the season, for Coach (Joker) Phillips, for this team, it means everything," senior guard Larry Warford said. "No matter who the opponent is, going out with two wins is going to be the best thing that could happen."... read the full preview
Scouting Samford
The Samford Bulldogs enter Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday with a 7-3 record in FCS action, winning each of their last two games. Samford is 5-3 in the Southern Conference this season. The Bulldogs are coached by Pat Sullivan, who is in his sixth season at the helm of the program.
Samford has had a balanced attack both offensively and defensively this season. On offense, SU ranks 55th in the FCS in total offense (376.6), 53rd in rushing offense (156.7), 54th in scoring offense (26.9) and 53rd in passing offense (219.9). Senior quarterback Andy Summerlin leads the offensive attack having completed 66.3 percent of his passes. Summerlin is 226-for-341 for 2,165 yards and 10 touchdowns.
His favorite receiver this season has been junior wide receiver Kelsey Pope, who has caught 63 passes for 530 yards and four touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Riley Hawkins also has four touchdowns on 23 catches for 342 yards. Six players have caught 18 or more passes.
The rushing game has been paced by Fabian Truss, who has 194 carries for 1,026 yards and 11 touchdowns. Truss has more carries than the rest of the team combined this season.
On defense, Samford ranks 17th in the FCS in scoring defense (19.3), 26th in total defense (323.7), 21st in pass defense (176.8), 13th in pass defense efficiency (108.42) and 49th in rushing defense (146.9). Sophomore defensive back Jaquiski Tartt leads the team in tackles with 87, along with four interceptions, 10 pass breakups, three tackles for loss and one fumble forced. Senior defensive end Nicholas Williams leads the team in tackles for loss with eight, including a team-high six sacks.
Samford ranks first in the SoCon and tied for 13th in the FCS in turnover margin at +8. The Bulldogs have forced and recovered five fumbles and 13 interceptions this season.
On special teams, Hawkins averages 10.6 yards per punt return, while Truss is averaging 27.1 per kickoff return with one touchdown. Greg Peranich has 61 punts this season for an average of 39.95, including 15 inside the opponents 20-yard line. Cameron Yaw is 14-of-22 on field goals with a season-long 52 yarder.
Benton, Warford Named Game Captains
University of Kentucky football head coach Joker Phillips has announced that senior defensive back Mikie Benton and senior offensive guard Larry Warford have been named game captains for Kentucky's final home game of the season on Saturday vs. Samford at 7:30 p.m. ET on CSS.

Danny robs cars and hunts Hare Krishnas in this random encounter with the original Grand Theft Auto.

Join us on a nostalgia-fueled journey as we uncover lost gems, take on tough gaming challenges, and wonder if the world needs a pigeon dating sim. Expect irreverence and a healthy dose of frustration. In Random Encounter, every day is a fail day!
Schedule: Wednesdays at 11am PT
Host: Danny O'Dwyer
I actually remember a fair bit of this game :)
this game, i played the demo for arounf 4 months, which only had 255 seconds to play....then the game i played for 3 years on and on
Danny I just want to ask you a favor. Please please please smash the mac book with a hammer and throw it in the trash!!
Great classic! I've wasted weeks of my life on this.
Fun game but too unforgiving with no saves to speak of (unless you happened to stumble on a church in the middle of nowhere)... I got tired of having to start from the beginning every time I played and then start all over because I died from tripping on the sidewalk or something. Series didn't get interesting until part 3.
I remember playing the demo of this on PC and using the time hack to get past the time limit.
you can get this and gta2 i think from rockstar for free via an email but my god the controls were so godamn awkward i gave up after a few hours
@ 6:00
"Is this a cemetary..? Yeah... :-) Sorry..Sorry! Sorry bout your loss!. Sorry...Sorry... Im sure he was a lovely guy... God bless, God bless... Excuse me... Looking for a paint spray.."
Had this game on PSX. Good times :-)
For anyone that wasn't around at the time this came out... i couldn't begin to explain how insane the whole idea of this game was! It wasn't like nowadays, when somone puts a FPS in a new theme and it called "Original"... This was so Original it was (and imo as a series still is) in a league of its own!
Anyone remember the burp and fart from GTA2?
Sweet memories, I still have the original game disc somewhere on the bottom of a box. Long levels without saving drove me mad on some occasions.
See how well you can do in war z. That game is such a piece of garbage that it is just hilarious to watch.
in its day
there was nothing as awesome as the freedom gta gave
when gta went 3d in 2001 with gta3, that was the pinnacle of modern gaming(easily)
These are actually good graphics, I remember it looking much worse on my college PC
I loved this game...
Play Doom?
Am I the only one that found this game equally frustrating as it was fun? It's a blast to jump in and mess around for a bit, but shooting a target was finnicky. You also couldn't see ore than 10ft in front of you because of the zoomed in camera. Hey ho, good memories though!
Well I guess I got a better understanding of this series; how about these game suggestions: Space Invaders Infinity Gene [2009] and Kirby's Return To Dream Land [2011]
Danny rocks!!!!
Can't wait for the F.E.A.R. highlights.
Danny O'Dwyer: Slain by a fire extinguisher.
gonna get that
really don't like the editing. Would much rather have the full show.
lol the RC car kill frenzy. man this was such a good game.
Just mad, how seeing some roads he was driving down and remembering them like it was yesterday.
FYI FOR EVERYONE GIf you want to play this or GTA 2 just google it and rockstar is giving them away free from their website!!!
Good times :)
And nice to see you finally have your own video section.
can i still watch the whole recording of this somewhere?
oh god this takes me back, loved the animations you got as cutscenes with that fat ugly guys telling you to fuck off. hehe
You should play severance. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severance:_Blade_of_Darkness) It was "the awesome" back then.
Thanks for the mafia episode, it prompted me to d/l and play mafia II, which was short but sweet.
Why spend all that time aiming with the tank? Just use the cannon as a rocket boost and run them all over muahahaha.
Thanks for the memories Danny. Now do Syndicate dammit xD
A few things you could do in syndicate: Use your persuader tron on the entire town (I always did that). They'll follow you like your own provate zombie army and if they have guns they'll fire when you do (you can drop guns for them to pick up).
Stop to let pedestrians pass then run them over.
Make the cops chase you on foot then double back and place a bomb in their car -> Wait till they drive off and then watch the fireworks.
Oh man! This brings back memories! I remember the fastest vehicle in the game is the "Jesus Bus" as me and my friends used to call it. It is slow to accelerate, but I don't think there is a top speed to the "Jesus Bus".
I love how you get points for dying aswell :p
"Kiiiilllllll Frrrenzy!!" Ahhhhhh man I forgot all about that! :')
Totally installing this on my laptop when I get home.. Good times!
Dear God, this brought a manly tear to my eye. Did I say tear? Disregard that. I had something in my eye. I wasn't crying. No, Sir.
I Loved this game. Was 1st game i had on a demo!
can someone tell me where to watch it live when danny is actually playing?
and the timings too?
@blakeney And it was scandalous... Acting as a criminal, running over innocent people and shooting around deliberately. Even if they were little pixel guys it was too much for many critics.
@TheZeroPercent Yeah I remember playing GTA3 for the first time in a toy store.. I was like omgggg. Also had that feeling when I played Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid for the first time. The switch from 2d to 3d was incredible.
@capper64sure, sounds good. But only with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk47lLArxX4
@e5115271 No you are not. I too had those issues, but considering what else was on the market in '97. I easily overlooked them.
@bielzabobYou can watch it here: http://www.twitch.tv/gamespot/b/360195253
@masadwi 4PM GMT / 8AM PSD at Twitch.tv/gamespot
@dannyodwyer @capper64 hahaha this is cool xD but for real Danny, it would be awesome if we can see Doom on the next Random Encounter =D
@Skulker87 @bielzabob cheers Skulker, keep on Skulking :)
@dannyodwyer @masadwi great! thanks

Jennifer Lawrence without makeup: Pot or not, she looks great
While many were distracted by the seeming joint in her hand, it's hard not to notice how gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence still looks without makeup. The actress was photographed in Hawaii hanging out with friends and relaxing in her hotel room while on break from "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" reshoots, and though she had a clear face, she still managed to look stunning. Check out the pictures on Yahoo
Lawrence has never made a secret of the fact that her polished appearance is the product of Hollywood. When she was shown the photos from her Christian Dior ad campaign recently, she was quick to point out they were Photoshopped.
"That doesn't look like me at all. I love Photoshop more than anything in the world," she said. ""Of course it's Photoshop. People don't look like that."
Have we mentioned that Lawrence is a breath of fresh air? As for that whole pot scandal, Lawrence seemingly resolved whether she smokes marijuana before she was even caught in the act. "I so cannot answer that question," Lawrence said when asked by Spin if she ever indulged. "I'm in a franchise."

Labor Minister Salim Jreissati. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: Labor Minister Salim Jreissati condemned Saturday what he described as an assault on an Al-Manar television station crew by Lebanese Forces security personnel, saying the perpetrators should be punished.
"It is an assault on the freedom of the media and an attempt to terrorize [those] who seek to reveal the truth," Jreissati said in a statement, adding that one of the reporters was beaten.
Strida Geagea's security personnel discovered three people Thursday taking pictures from a car parked on a hilltop overlooking her residence in Yasouh al-Malak.
"When the Lebanese Forces' security personnel approached the television crew, I showed them my journalist's identification and told them about the television feature the team was working on," said Abu Taam.
According to Abu Taam, the LF security personnel assaulted them. Later, the three reporters were briefly detained at a police station in Kesrouan for taking suspicious photographs.
In his statement Saturday, Jreissati said protecting the free and responsible media should take place by punishing aggressors.
According to judicial sources, the Mount Lebanon public prosecutor has transferred the case to the Military Tribunal for further investigation.

Think about your office for a second. I'm willing to bet that there is quite the variety of people working under that one roof. Having different personality types in the office is what makes a company dynamic… if everyone was the same, your company might not be as successful. It is important to understand the different personality types in your office, and also learn how to work effectively with each of them…since some personality types can mesh better than others. Learning to work effectively with the different personality types will make your work experience easier and help you achieve professional growth.
Here are the basic different personality types in the workplace and how to work effectively with each:
The "Commander"
The "Commander" is goal oriented, focusing on individual tasks and the end result. They want to be in charge, and they make decisions quickly, sometimes even before they have all of the details. They can sometimes come across as rude or condescending – but most often don't mean to. They have a clear path in mind, and are convinced that everyone else should come with them, without question. These people work best alone or in a leading position.
Working with this personality
The Commander can be intimidating, a "professional bulldozer" that requires you to firmly stand up to them. Don't, and they'll simply run you over (and although challenging, working with this kind of personality can be great not only for your personal but professional growth). If you work together, you'll need to be as strong and confident as they are. If this is your subordinate, assign individual projects whenever you can rather than group projects.
The "Adventurer"
Always looking for the next challenge, Adventurers are goal-oriented, with very high expectations for themselves. They are very secure, high energy and need variety.
Working with this personality
The Adventurer is a natural debater simply because "challenge" is their key driver. If this is your coworker, step right in and become part of that debate; brainstorm ideas together. If this is your subordinate, he/she needs lots of variety and change, so give him her projects to start rather than finish.
The "Stabilizer"
This personality is a steady, slow sort, and works perfectly in a team setting. People with this personality like routine and the status quo. They aren't comfortable with risk. Flexible and agreeable, they get along well with everyone else and don't like conflict or disagreement.
Working with this personality
This personality is the perfect coworker or subordinate.Hand them any task and they'll get it done thoroughly, by the due date – including anything the aforementioned Adventurer starts. This self-effacing personality does not need lots of accolades or approval – but since they're so well-deserved, give them anyway, and learn to recognize and praise their work and their professional growth.
The "Perfectionist"
Another personality that's introverted and prefers to work alone, they are very cautious and will check their work multiple times before they turn it in. They're very analytical and logical, detail-oriented, and aren't afraid to simply dig in and go through everything with a fine-toothed comb. Unlike the Stabilizer, the Perfectionist is more likely to get frustrated and to express it.
Working with this personality
This is another personality that doesn't like conflict and tends to be quiet and shy but not antisocial – it's just that he or she prefers to work alone. Casual conversation is unnecessary, so don't be put off by that. They also avoid conflict at all costs.
If someone with this personality type is your subordinate, you can hand them particularly difficult quandaries to solve and they'll have no problem simply sitting down and figuring things out, as long as you give them the time to do so. It's imperative that you recognize this as a boss, not only for the health of your work environment but for your own and their professional growth.
Which personality type are you? How do you work effectively with different personality types at your office? Comment below!

I needed the upgrade even for solo riding as I am more than a little weighty and when full the Safaris add ~70 pounds over stock. I tested the new springs solo over a couple hundred miles of varying terrain and thought it was good, but we had some handling issues that I didn't get figured out and sorted until Washington. The suspension was a magic carpet ride on the Dalton. Solo and without luggage the forks are quite stiff and harsh now. I should probably re-valve in order to get the range of adjustment needed, but I usually travel with full panniers.
Thanks for all of the comments everyone! I hope you are getting your Alaska trip plans together.
Oh awesome! I have a mac so I tried the equivalent to that. I probably just dont know how to use it well enough.
Ok that makes sense. For my first trip I won't be doing too much offroad so hopefully stock will be good. I am quite thin and so is the girlfriend so we'll see!
Thanks for all Dave!

What First Motivated Me To Eat Healthier
I am a diabetic. I find if I eat right, I feel good. I know I am getting the right nutrients. The blood glucose stays low. I feel in control and that really helps me stay eating well. Sweets taste good but I get the "sugar blues" afterward.
What Motivates Me To Eat Healthier Now
I just feel better when I eat right. I have a list of proteins that I like: chicken, turkey, beef, pork. Carbohydrates that don't raise my blood sugar to much and olive oil and canola oil are my main fats.
I stay away from concentrated sweets because if I don't, I get high blood sugar and feel bad.
When I eat well, I feel satisfied that I have fed my body right.
- Plan ahead. Have foods on hand to eat "right now" Have menus that take a minimum of time to prepare.
- I find that foods that have High Fructose make me want to eat more of that food. So I read labels.

But the best thing about the Sony VAIO Y Series is undoubtedly the cost. If the laptop itself is one step up from the world of netbooks, so too is the price of only £429 inc VAT, and that makes it a hugely appealing purchase. It's almost as light as a netbook, will run more demanding applications, and has the battery life to last a long flight, all of which make it an intriguing budget alternative for the more discerning traveller.

The downside to this model would have to be the trackpad. We found it too small, too slick and too inconsistent – a surprise in a Sony product, where product interaction is usually half the story. Unfortunately, we kept on pressing the Assist button instead of the power button (which is in the hinge of the unit) out of habit, which would boot up a recovery environment instead of Windows 7 Home Premium
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 04/12/2011
Source: Good Gear Guide
The one thing we don't like about the Sony VAIO YB Series laptop is its touchpad, which was sometimes unresponsive when we dragged our finger across its bottom half. Apart from that and the slow hard drive, we have few complaints. The screen's colour and clarity is among the best (if not the best) we've seen in a sub-$1000 laptop, the HDMI port allows you to plug in to a big-screen TV with ease, and the laptop's base barely gets warm even after prolonged periods of use.

The Sony VAIO YB has plenty going for it, from its gorgeous design to its top-notch media player software. However, lower-priced competitors such as the HP Pavilion dm1z and the Lenovo ThinkPad X120e offer longer battery life, better keyboards, and superior sound. Nevertheless, the VAIO YB is the sexiest 11-incher under $600 on the market today.

by one of its subscribers.
My K6-2 450 used to lock up on me during heavy cpu usage when I had just the
case fan and a tiny little fan on the chip.
I bought a bigger fan + heatsink combo, and attached it to the processor with
some thermal compount and now it runs really nice and cool.
I think the heatsink + thermal compound are the real miracle workers here. :)
I believe my total cost was around $20.

Melamine found to contaminate a second pet food ingredient, expanding the recall further
Associated Press wire story, April 18, by Andrew Bridges:
WASHINGTON (AP) — An industrial chemical that led to a nationwide recall of more than 100 brands of cat and dog foods has been found to contaminate a second pet food ingredient, expanding the recall further.
The chemical, melamine, is believed to have contaminated rice protein concentrate used to make a variety of Natural Balance Pet Foods products for both dogs and cats, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday. Previously, the chemical was found to contaminate another ingredient, wheat gluten, used by at least six other pet food and treat manufacturers.
Natural Balance said it was recalling all its Venison and Brown Rice canned and bagged dog foods, its Venison and Brown Rice dog treats and its Venison and Green Pea dry cat food.
The Pacoima, Calif., company said recent laboratory tests showed the products contain melamine. It believes the source of the contaminant was rice protein concentrate, which the company recently added to the dry venison formulas. Natural Balance does not use wheat gluten, which was associated with the previous melamine contamination, it said.
Last month, Menu Foods recalled 60 million cans of dog and cat food after the deaths of 16 pets, mostly cats, that ate its products. The FDA said tests indicated the food was contaminated with melamine, used in making plastics and other industrial processes. Five other companies later recalled pet products also made with wheat gluten tainted by the chemical.
The FDA has since blocked Chinese imports of wheat gluten. An FDA spokeswoman did not immediately return messages left seeking comment.
** What is the FDA doing about the pet food recall situation? Plus LOTS of other pertinent information can be found at http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/petfood.html
Menu Foods has also added another pet food to its pet food recall list:
The product is Natural Life dog food with a date on the bottom of the can of Nov/22/09 and UPC number of 12344-07114. Do NOT feed this to your pets.

How To Install Manageable, Enjoyable 3D
The Hazards of Stacking Projectors for Passive 3D ApplicationsMay 2011 By CR Staff
Digital Projection International offers both single and stacked 3D projector solutions to the residential and commercial A/V channels, as well as both passive and active 3D solutions.
At first thought, the idea of utilizing two projectors to generate a 3D image seems like a very logical approach. After all, standard 60Hz projectors can be employed, on-screen brightness is doubled and the application automatically benefits from redundancy for 2D applications. The dual projector 3D design, however, is very complex and creates numerous hazards in terms of installation flexibility and overall experience. Here's why:
Reason #1 - Convergence
First, consider the fact that both images must be perfectly converged on screen. Experienced installers will remember the days of converging CRT projectors and how difficult that could be. Expect the same, without the benefit of electronic convergence controls in each projector (as was the case with CRT projectors of days past). Unless the installation includes accurate and costly warp engines, the ONLY way to converge two digital projectors is to do so mechanically with the use of lens shift. While a good alignment is possible, the corners are likely to be the most difficult to align between the two projectors. Making matters more unpredictable, even the very best projectors on the market still suffer from some image shift as their light engines warm up.
Reason #2 - The Anti-Sweet Spot
Second, with two projectors to install, neither can take the position that optimizes performance and lens shift. Accept that lens shift, which allows the installer to mount the projector above the screen, will also need to be employed to converge the two projectors. The practical way of mounting the two projectors is for one unit to be mounted slightly above screen center shifted upward, and the second unit to be mounted close to screen top and shifted downward. With both projectors mounted below the screen top, extreme caution must be used to avoid the light path hitting the back of the chairs, not to mention the head of an audience member.
Reason #3 - Complexity
Third, a two projector 3D solution requires that the 3D signal be pre-processed and split, with left-eye content going to one projector and right-eye content going to the other projector. This requires not only additional hardware but also more complex cabling and switching. Currently, there are no retail processors available that can break down a HDMI 1.4a 3D signal to discrete left and right eye with HDCP handshakes.

A healthy planet and healthy people need a healthy ocean. Make a donation today to help us preserve our oceans for tomorrow.
Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs), mirex, hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), dieldrin, and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were determined in blubber of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina concolor) from the northwestern Atlantic coast. PCBs, DDTs, and CHLs were the major persistent organochlorines in harbor seal blubber, while mirex, HCHs, dieldrin, and HCB were minor contaminants. Highest concentrations were found in the adult males, followed by the pups, yearlings, adult females, and fetuses. DDT and PCB concentrations have declined from the high levels reported in the early 1970s, but no declines were observed in our samples over the ten-year period 1991-2001. DDT/PCB ratios were indicative of a more rapid decline of DDTs than PCBs, while ratios of p,p'-DDE/DDT were indicative of a metabolic "weathering" of DDT. The population appears to be susceptible to disease outbreaks, as evidenced by a recurrence of viral epizootics since the late 1970s. The PCB burdens in these seals are similar to levels reported in seals from polluted regions of Europe and Asia, and exceed the estimated threshold levels for adverse reproductive and immune system effects in the species. Shaw et al. (2005) Marine Pollution Bulletin 50:1069-1084.
Over the past two decades, the northwest Atlantic harbor seal population has been affected by a series of disease outbreaks and mass mortalities. The possible role of environmental chemicals in these outbreaks has not been investigated. Data from the 1970s indicated that blubber concentrations of PCBs and DDTs in these seals exceeded or were approaching the 100 ppm concentration range (lipid basis), similar to the levels associated with population declines among European seals. The goal of the present study was to determine current burdens of persistent organochlorines (OCs) in harbor seals along the northwestern Atlantic coast and to examine the toxicological implications of their exposure.
Concentrations of PCBs and chlorinated pesticides were measured in blubber samples of 29 stranded harbor seals collected in 2001 and 2002, and in archived samples of a subset of yearling seals collected in 1991. These are the first region-wide contaminants data reported in harbor seals from the northwest Atlantic marine region.
In view of the vulnerability of these seals to recurring disease outbreaks, there is a clear need for further research to ascertain the average levels of a broad range of other halogenated compounds in the population in conjunction with an assessment of immune status, reproductive rates, and overall health.

Intro from New Hampshire
I've been interested in WFOs since I tried out an earth oven built at a friend's farm - it lasted until the tarp blew away during a rainstorm, and it collapsed due to the rain. It took a long time to heat, had a poor draft, but the food out of it was wonderful! I've cooked several meals with it while it was intact.
My original idea was a non-mortared barrel vault, but now that I've read the Pompeii plans, I'm going to try a round oven in my back yard, and if it works as well as I hope, I'll build a slightly more elaborate one at the farm. The first one I'm building will be part of an outdoor kitchen / patio area we're building, so it's likely to get used a dozen times a summer or so, with occasional uses throughout the year. I'll be building it as cheaply as I can, using red clay bricks that I already have on hand for the dome, and buying the firebrick for the cooking surface (if my other ideas aren't going to work, see the questions). The enclosure will be a stucco igloo with 4-6" of vermiculite or perlite for insulation. The slab will be 4" of reinforced concrete, with FB insulation under the cooking surface, and I'll fabricate a metal door with insulation, probably more vermiculite or FB if there's enough left over. I have a few questions:
I have access to marble counter cutoffs, as many as I need, for free. If I decide to use one for the cooking surface, will it survive? I'm planning to have it "floating" as opposed to building the dome on top of it, in case it doesn't last, and I'll build it up to the same height as the bricks so I can replace it with bricks if I need to.
I'm fairly good with a tile saw, and have free access to a 10" wet saw as long as I fab a new top for it, as the current one is too small for bricks. I can also set up an angle table with clamps, so I can get the bricks cut to the same shape and angle. Would it make sense to shape them to minimize mortar, or am I just adding work for no real gain? Remember that the bricks are free, but the mortar isn't, and I'm trying to do this project on a shoestring budget.
Re: Intro from New Hampshire
Please read before you start to build your dome!
Your pizza may get a bit crunchy! (with pieces of red brick in there!)
I'd hate to see you end up with an oven that is unusable.
Best of luck on your build!
Red clay brick. This is the traditional red clay brick that you find at Home Depot and at masonry supply stores. Clay bricks are made from clay, and fired in a kiln. They are typically made from local clay, as shipping is too expensive, and fired to between 2000F - 3000F (high enough to fuse the minerals). You can use clay brick in the oven dome, but we would not recommend using them in the oven floor. There are trade-offs to consider.
There are two shortcoming to using a clay brick in your oven dome. First, thermal cycling will cause clay brick to spall, where little pieces of the brick flake off, and could cause individual clay bricks to crack. It has happened to us. Second, clay brick is not as good a conductor as fire brick and as a result will take longer to heat up.
Still, you can find clay bricks for about $.50 at Home Depot, which make them the most cost-effective option.
Our view is that unless cost is a prohibiting factor, we would recommend firebrick. For example, a 42" oven some has roughly 180 bricks in the dome, so the difference in brick cost should be around $100. In the context of the overall cost of the oven, and large amount of human capital you will be investing in your oven, we think the extra cost of worth it.
If your choice is to build your oven with clay brick or not at all, we would strongly recommend building your oven with clay brick.
Red clay bricks are typically used for building the decorative arch and optional sides around the oven vent and vent landing, and can be used for any decorative feature.
Re: Intro from New Hampshire
Re: Intro from New Hampshire
Thank you for the input, and for saving me the wasted effort to use the marble. I'll skip the marble and the excessive sawing. I'm still gathering materials and money, I'll post pictures (and further questions) when I have them.
Re: Intro from New Hampshire
I've been shopping around for materials, and trying to figure out if I can afford to build this. I've seen precast concrete footings being sold for considerably less than it will cost me to rent a mixer. As I'm a welder, I'm planning to make the stand out of welded metal as opposed to cinderblocks, so I'll need footings in any case. Are the precast ones good enough for this, assuming a footprint large enough to handle the weight (I'm guessing about two to three tons) with my soil conditions? Or should I build forms, tie rebar, etc? I'm not going to cut corners on the slab, or the cooking surface, but if I can save a few hundred dollars in cement and block, it could make the difference between building this oven, or going without.
Re: Intro from New Hampshire
We've had a discussion about these before. I can't find a link to it at the moment. They weigh about 60 pounds, right, and are made to take a PT 4 x 4? I don't think anyone has used these for a build yet. Let us know how it works out.

Chimney or no chimney? Pros and cons?
I plan to buy a Forno Bravo oven but am wondering which are better, ovens with chimneys or those without?
I see some Forno Bravo ovents include a chimney while others do not. Does the chimney take away from the convection cooking? What produces better cooking results? What are the pros and cons?
Thanks for any feedback
Re: Chimney or no chimney? Pros and cons?
Hello PDN,
All Italian brick ovens have some sort of vent and chimney directly above the oven opening -- though there are couple of different ways of implementing it. For example, the Casa oven has the vent walls cast along with the oven dome, and you attach a vent piece on top of the vent walls, which connects to the chimney system. The Artigiano oven does not have built-in vent walls, and it uses a steel vent that you attach to the oven enclosure and connect to the chimney. The Premio (and Ristorante) ovens have a separate decorative arch/landing, where the vent is built in. There is a round opening at the top of the arch that connects to the chimney system. Each venting approach works well, so it comes more down to which oven works best for you (not the venting system). The Casa ovens are the most cost-effective and space effective, the Artigiano is seriously cool and is hand made, and the Premio has nice features and the good-looking arch/landing set. They all cook great, so I think the trade-offs tend to be more practical and visual.
Have you take an look at the Oven Selection wizard we put together? It walks users through the ovens selection process using a Q&A.
Hope this helps.

With that said, Blackberry will still be around for some time, just don't look for them to focus too much on features that we've become use to with other smartphone.
I wouldn't count Crackberry out just yet. I think they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. QNX is promising. Windows Phone sucks. It's a hard sell. No one wants it. Crackberry although not as popular, still sell. People still want them. Especially those who hate touch screens. Yep believe it or not there are such people in the world. Go figure lol
