Grub Burger is no Aggie joke

"You're only 36 steps away from Burger Heaven," exhorts a sign on the midlevel stairway landing leading up, up, up to Grub Burger Bar.
The new restaurant is half-hidden away in a long, narrow space on the second floor of the flossy City Centre mixed-use development, out in Memorial. And that's not the only improbable thing about it. For, in a twist that seems to flout the natural order of things, Grub Burger Bar is an import from College Station.
Cue the Aggie jokes, the coals-to-Newcastle references, the barbs about the mountain coming to Muhammad. That's what I was doing mentally as I trudged toward the top of that cavernous, brick-lined stairwell, there to be greeted by chipper young persons who gave me a laminated menu and initiated me into the mysteries of the dual service system - part semi-serve counter style, part full service at the U-shaped bar.
The very presence of the upstart Grub Burger Bar in this burger-mad city, with its increasingly rich and heady dining scene, seemed preposterous on its face. Houston is the capital of its region. We export culture - high and low alike - to the provinces, not the other way around. Right?
Wrong, I decided as I took my first tentative bites of Grub's Voodoo Mushroom Burger. I loved everything about it: the strong sear on the patty of house-ground Angus brisket and chuck; the way the beef stayed juicy right through its medium-well passage on the griddle; the perfect size of the thing, plump and tallish but easily handled and eminently biteable, from top to bottom.
Then there were the big, unexpected flavors. I had rolled my eyes at the description of the Voodoo's absinthe-sauteed mushrooms, but there was the haunting licorice twang I had doubted would come through, mellowed by green onions and melted Swiss cheese, then picked up with a bright kick of Tabasco-laced mayonnaise.
It all clicked on that hard-to-achieve sandwich level in which the whole manages to be greater than the sum of its parts. With the bite of Tabasco and the absinthe edge, a generic mushroom-and-Swiss burger had acquired a genuine sense of Gulf Coast place.
I even admired the Grub burger's bun, baked in house throughout the day and glossed with a buttery sheen as it leaves the kitchen, so that it looks like it has been groomed by a high-priced photo stylist. Like the sandwich itself, the bun seemed perfectly sized, so that it held its own without skewing the meat-to-bread ratio.
As I sat at the bar extending onto a covered patio, downing crisp twiggy french fries and sipping a bourbon-spiked caramel shake through an outsize tapioca straw, I was already picking out what I'd order on my next visit. Three meals on, I've never been disappointed by a burger here, and I'd consider the ones I've sampled among the city's best.
That's particularly impressive considering the house cooking style is medium well-done, a temperature point which can often suck the life out of a patty. Just as striking to me is the deft and sophisticated use of flavors in the burger combos and other dishes I've tried.
Often there will be a surging edge of chile-pepper warmth or a well-placed pop of acid that elevates everything else. The caramelized onion flaps in the excellent blue-cheese burger work that way. (If only it weren't named the You're My Boy Blue Burger, which I can't quite bring myself to utter when ordering.)
So does the Dr Pepper BBQ sauce on the Lockhart Legend Burger, which sounds as if it will be too sweet and instead displays a welcome sharp tang. In conjunction with beef, smoky bacon strips, cheddar, tart dill pickles and a couple of onion rings, this tower of ingredients squashes down nicely into something that captures the spirit of a barbecue sandwich. It's a surprising success - again, with a fine sense of place.
Even a relatively subdued Guacapotle Burger with guac, cheddar and chipotle aioli succeeds by virtue of the guacamole's lively tartness. The chipotle aioli, on the other hand, seemed too laid back for its own good.
If only they had used the eye-opening Mississippi Comeback Sauce they pass out with their curiously effective crawfish pistolette appetizers, in which frisky crawfish étouffée wrapped in crusty bread meets an even friskier remoulade-type sauce. The Mississippi Comeback recipe has an intriguing, ferment-y edge which I suspect comes from Tabasco mash. It is fabulous stuff, and the Grub folks are missing a bet by not using it as an optional dip for their fries and onion rings, or as a burger condiment. I'd gladly pay extra to partake of this galvanic stuff.
I confess to preferring those crisp fine-cut fries, which seem to be made from fresh-cut potatoes, to the big wide wheels of onion ring. These latter are more about the crunch and heft of their panko-style coating than they are about the sweet softness of the onion itself. But that's a personal preference, and I have no doubt but that many diners will find these onion rings just the ticket.
I also must voice my reservations about Grub's celebrated-in-College-Station milkshake program, both regular and spiked, or "adult," versions. The menu bills the shakes as "hand-spun," which in this case means sticking a glassful of vanilla soft-serve plus various syrups, seasonings and/or spirits beneath a mixer apparatus.
The results are not consistently good. No complaints about the caramel shake laced with bourbon, which had a warm, burnished quality and a certain gentle roundness of flavor. But a straight-up salted caramel shake made with caramel syrup and lots of salt dispensed right from a shaker ended up simultaneously too sweet and too salty, as if the overly strong flavors were at war with each other.
A so-call "Texaz" shake involving Tequila, coffee liqueur and chocolate syrup had a similar problem of strident flavors that never settled down enough to get along. I have to hand it to Grub, though: their idea of using boba tea straws, the fat ones of a width to suck up tapioca pearls, is pure genius. I wish everyone did this.
Apparently Grub functions as much as a beloved watering hole as a casual restaurant in College Station. They're obviously proud of their bar program, which features some decent local beers on tap, a well-priced happy hour and lots of fruity cocktails made with fresh juices. (The wines by the glass are fairly grim.)
The hyperactive cocktail ideas may not have reached big-city levels of restrained cool, but there is a very decent Four-Dollar Rita made with silver tequila, triple sec and fresh lime juice.
I've found service to be uniformly good and informative at the full-service bar, but in the dining room, the service has more fits and starts as this young restaurant and young staff find their footing.
Still, I admire the burgers, the sleek, textured-wood lines of the place and the easygoing feel, especially at the indoor and outdoor full-service bars. The clientele is a good mix of young professionals, older homeowners and families with kids, with the predictable scattering of Aggie rings. The menu reflects the disparate customer base.
There are all sorts of nonbeef "burger" options, as well as salads and offbeat sides such as tabouli or charred corn and black beans vinaigrette. I'm constitutionally opposed to pseudo-burgers that don't involve ground beef, but I must admit the turkey burger here is shockingly acceptable.
I see Grub Burger Bar has a location scheduled to open in Dallas soon, too. So forget the Aggie jokes - they're on us. This is a place worthy of export.

Sling Box working with PC, tablets, smartphone thru own proprietary programs/applets.
You are out of luck with mentioned devices. Try to get Sling Catcher - the device never been in regular customer's hands, but some members here claimed they used it.

Sling catcher? Never heard of it but it sounds like what I am looking for.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 11:44 AM
Found it. Anyone used this with the hopper / sling setup???
Posted 27 December 2012 - 11:45 AM
Call Sling company, perhaps they changed plans about the catcher one more time ?
Posted 30 December 2012 - 04:10 PM
Good luck with getting one of those to work. I've tried using 3 of them in 2 different locations with 2 different 922s and had no luck getting them to work. I haven't tried them on a Hopper but if they didn't work with the 922, I very highly doubt they will work with the Hopper since the Joey kind of defeats the purpose of a Sling Catcher to provide HD in a different room connected to the same box. I would go as far as betting that there is no SW support in the Hopper for a Sling Catcher.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to find a way to get a wire out there.

I expected to have to do some daily maintenance on the bikes as they are really a new bike from the 1970s and, like most old bikes I've had, they require a little tinkering (at least the Symbas have a CDI ignition so i don't have to mess with points!). I enjoy working on bikes, and it's kind of nice to get up every morning and spend a little quality time with them. I also like giving every part of the bike a visual inspection daily in order to keep an eye on the tire wear and brake wear, and to look at the underside of the bikes for anything untoward. (I also "ring" the spokes every morning so I am at a loss as to how a spoke broke without me knowing that it was in danger) Plus since I changed the chains, my morning routine is down to about 10 minutes.
I also like the bikes because they need a little "love" occasionally. I started riding on a series of modern Kawasakis, first an EX500, then a Zephyr 750, followed by a Concours. I put 84K on the Concours before Bambi and I had a coming together one night, and all I ever did with the bike was change oil and watch someone else change the tires. I just didn't ever really care about the bikes, they were reliable transportation to take me where I wanted to go. Then I bought a new 1997 Guzzi 1100 Sport, and what a frustrating bike that was. The EPA-mandated jetting was unrideable as delivered, the fasteners grew a beard faster than I did, things just vibrated loose, and I loved it. The Guzzi importer was down the road in Lillington at the time, and Shelby helped me get it better (it was never really "right"
). I spent hours working on that bike, and every time I rode it I felt a connection to it that I didn't feel to my Kwaks. On the right road, that bike was a joy and I helped make it that way. It is one of very few of the 15 bikes or so I have owned that I still miss. At about the same time as the Guzzi, I switched from racing a Honda CB-1 (the 400cc, 4 cylinder from 1989) to reverse cylinder TZ-250s. With the Honda you just showed up for the weekend, check the pressures and oil, put in some gas, and thumbed the starter button. And I never missed it after I sold it, it was a thing. My TZs, however, had names and personalities, and I loved wrenching on them at the track and during the week. Rings every two weekends, pistons every four, and a new crank every year. I knew those bikes inside and out and still get wistful when I hear a two-stroke wailing down the road. As for the Symbas, I like these bikes - they are scrappy little fighters, doing what we ask with just a few teething problems so far.
They also won't ever be as hands-off as a modern bike like a DR or my previous Wee. If I had wanted reliable bike that I just had to hit the starter button on every morning it would have been the choice for me. But my worry about the Wee was that they don't have them outside the first world. If something big went wrong, there would be no parts available (look at the stories of people waiting for many weeks to get final drives for a certain other brand
) and no one who could work on it. I have the shop manual for our bikes on the laptop, and if it's beyond my skill there are mechanics all over the parts of the world that we are visiting who know these bikes. No FI, no ABS, no error codes, just simple and easy.
That said, I was surprised by the fuel issue on Re's bike, but if it happens again, I can strip the fuel system on the side of the road with hand tools. Hell, there is even a cut-out in the leg shields so you can remove the spark plug without removing any bodywork (if I need to pump gas out of the cylinder). And as for my spoke, I am adding a few to my spares kit before we leave the US (Thanks to Micheal the parts guy at Alliance Powersports, the new SYM importer) and I'll just try to keep a closer eye on them. The bikes both have about 4800 miles on them now and I am reasonably satisfied with their service so far.
Finally, the bikes are what makes this trip what it is. If we took different bikes it wouldn't be this trip. I hope we won't have any major problems with the bikes, but won't mind to much if we do. It's all part of the trip. Thanks for your comments, it helped remind me why we chose these bikes. I'm glad you are enjoying our trip so far, hopefully it continues to be as much fun!
I am nowhere near the end of this thread, but I found this post, and just had to reply. Nice to finally find someone who feels the same way that I do about bikes. I have owned a lot of "modern" "reliable" bikes, and have enjoyed going places on them, but have never been able to develop any feelings for the bikes themselves. They may as well have been toaster ovens. They got me there and back, but not much else. My Stella and my former '66 Triumph Bonneville were different. They require some love and attention once in a while. They like to be tinkered with, and best of all, with no computerized crap, they CAN be tinkered with. You learn to live with, and eventually love their issues. Nothing beats a vintage bike, or like the Stella, Symba, and pre FI Royal Enfield, brand new vintage bikes, that still have many of the issues of the originals.

If you go
What: Naydenov's annual Rock 'n' Roll Classic gymnastics meet.
When: Feb. 23, 24.
Where: Clark County Event Center, 17402 N.E. Delfel Road, Ridgefield.
Carissa Brown, Geneva "Gigi" Gernhart and Hadley Park each had a chance at center stage Sunday, performing their floor exercise routines to a doo-wop-flavored instrumental of "Blue Moon."
Each gymnast was rewarded with boisterous applause that left all of them smiling long after the song's baritone-sax finale had faded away.
The young women are part of the Special Abilities team at Naydenov Gymnastics, but Sunday's competition was not a Special Olympics event. It was an open meet featuring six teams, and that's what made the morning … well, extra-special.
It was the first opportunity for any members of the Special Abilities team to take part in a USA Gymnastics event, Coach Sheri Bousquet said.
"It was amazing," Gernhart, 24, said after the three gymnasts had a chance to catch their breath.
Park, 27, described her response to the event as "tears of joy."
The team competed at the bronze level, during the morning portion of the daylong "Shooting for the Stars" meet at Naydenov Gymnastics. More than 90 other gymnasts from Power & Grace, Precision Elite, OGA, Gym Elite and Naydenov XCEL also participated in the morning session for bronze and silver gymnasts.
In the team's previous special athletics events, such as the State Games of Oregon, her gymnasts were ranked according to the other competitors, Bousquet said. But that's not like being judged according to USA Gymnastics scoring standards.
That's why Bousquet continued to do some quick coaching as her performers headed into each event.
"Keep your toes pointed in," Bousquet reminded Brown before the floor exercise.
And after she finished the floor routine, Brown confirmed that she'd gotten the message: "I kept my toes pointed in."
'Serious gymnastics'
The Special Abilities program at Naydenov has a roster of about 20 special needs gymnasts, Bousquet said
Park, Gernhart and Brown, 33, all have Down syndrome. They represent the highest performance level in the program.
Athletes with Down syndrome "have a weak core, but they are flexible and strong, and that makes a good gymnast," Bousquet said.
But all team members are held accountable, Bousquet said. "It's serious gymnastics."
Bousquet is a former Hudson's Bay High School gymnast who segued into judging and is qualified to judge at the NCAA level.
A volunteer officiating stint at a Special Olympics meet in Oregon led to this coaching gig. One of the gymnasts celebrated a landing by exclaiming: "TA-DA!" … and then asked Bousquet if she liked it.
Her response: "I loved it!"
The Special Abilities gymnastics program started with her half-brother, Andrew White, who has Down syndrome.
Shelley Park, whose daughter was part of Sunday's competition, said that the "gymnastics program allows Hadley to be herself," in a community of peers.
"Programs like this are especially important to people with disabilities. Typically, they are unable to just drop into any activity," she said. "As a result, they play the part of tag-along or, the alternative, sit home. For both, there is a lack of physical activity and social interaction."
Her daughter "recognizes the value of staying in shape and uses gymnastics to achieve that goal," Park said. "Taking all that into account, there is something missing if there are no meets, no competition."

Finally, we know how the big bang happened. It is explained in the piece about a way to widen wormholes (25 May, p 11). Apparently, you have to add negative energy, but there's a catch: "Add too much negative energy ... and the wormhole will briefly explode into a new universe that expands at the speed of light, much as... ours did immediately after the big bang."
So apparently a scientist in another universe was experimenting with wormholes, added a touch too much negative energy, and kaboom! Our Universe came into existence. This also solves the decades-old argument about whether or not something existed before the big bang.

True, but unless the user knew the account name (e.g., "root" or "guest")

That's a good one to be afraid of. I'm sure there's some shell magic I can

GREENFIELD — As Mike Shepherd campaigned for re-election over the past few weeks, he said he consistently heard from voters that he was doing a fine job as sheriff.
And so the Republican incumbent approached the primary election with guarded optimism, an optimism that grew with each updated set of vote tallies posted Tuesday night at the Hancock County Courthouse Annex.
Shepherd took the lead over challenger Donnie Munden early in the race as the votes trickled in. The final total left Shepherd with 4,916 votes and Munden with 3,537.

Congress played negative role at center as well as in state:Jugal
Filed Under: Politics, World | Posted: 01/21/2013 at 6:28AM
Comments | Region: India
Jammu, January 21(Scoop News) – BJP State President & MLA Jugal Kishore Sharma today said that Congress party had played the negative role both at centre as well as in the state.
Jugal Kishore , while talking to party workers and a group of media persons at party office here today, was highly critical of the objectionable remarks made by Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde against a nationalist party like BJP and a thoroughly patriotic social organizations like Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He said that Shinde seems to have lost his mental balance otherwise he would not have been making such irresponsible statements.
Jugal Kishore Sharma said that Congress party and Home Minister should be more concerned about several other issues facing the nation instead of making unproven charges of promoting terrorism against BJP and other nationalist organizations. He said that Congress should first address the problems like rampant corruption in which most of its ministers are involved. Price rise and recent hike in petroleum products has broken the backbone of common man and Congress is responsible for it, he added.
National Executive Member & MLA Ashok Khajuria, who was also present, blamed the Pradesh Congress Unit of J&K of being hand in glove with Chief Minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah in showing discrimination towards Jammu during the recent reshuffle of State Council of Ministers. He said that while most of the ministers from Jammu have been dropped, those who have been retained hold very insignificant portfolio.
Ashok Khajuria said that if Congress party which is coalition partner in the Omar-led government is not able to secure for Jammu its due share, then its ministers should immediately resign from Omar cabinet.
National Executive Member & Chief Spokesperson Dr. Jitendra Singh said that the statement made by Shinde is highly "unstatesmanly" and such expression or phrase does not behove the Home Minister of India

At E3, entertainment is the name of the game

Sony unveils minor PSP upgrade
July 11, 2007
Take a stand with 'Wii Fit' and its new controller
July 11, 2007
Of course, the three companies--Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony--were all eager to highlight their successes and differentiate themselves from their rivals. Nintendo is at the top of the heap this year after the wild and serendipitous rise of its Wii console, a status exemplified by Nintendo America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime's onstage declaration, "My name is Reggie, and I'm happy."
But beyond that, the "Big 3" at E3 were all about the "E" word. All three presentations stressed a common goal of establishing video games as a form of entertainment that's unquestionably on a par with television or film. As a result--despite the fact that the revamped E3 is smaller, quieter and more exclusive than its massive predecessor--there was nothing low key about the console companies' presentations. With massive video screens, surround sound and fancy lighting, the atmosphere had the feel of a movie premiere. Game previews, with their emphasis on action and storyline, were virtually indistinguishable from film trailers.
The exception was Nintendo, which spent nearly as much time running third-party clips about the Wii and the DS Lite--from news reports to YouTube videos to The Colbert Report and South Park--as it did showing off new games. It's notable, because not only does the Wii have the cultural impact factor and the potential for visual-friendly imagery of people swinging "Wiimotes" like tennis rackets or bowling balls, but it also has the disadvantage of lower-end graphics that just aren't as eye-catching on a big screen as the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.
E3 2007: A gathering of game makers
"Looking back, E3 here in 2007 may well be seen as a coming-out party for an entire industry," Nintendo's Fils-Aime said in his speech, "the moment that it became finally clear that video games would take their place alongside TV, music and movies as a staple of leisure entertainment."
Peter Moore, Microsoft's corporate vice president of interactive entertainment, highlighted statistics from PricewaterhouseCoopers that predicted the gaming industry would surpass the music industry in the amount of cash raked in this year.
Additionally, focusing on the entertainment factor was one thing that the companies could use to get the attendees excited. It was a bit of a catch-22 for the console manufacturers: the "new E3" was supposed to cut down on the glitz factor, but at the same time, it was clear that the likes of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo needed to use some smoke and mirrors (literally) to mask the fact that there weren't going to be a whole lot of shocking moments.
The vast majority of games had already been announced and many had been previously demonstrated, and hardware announcements were minor. Sony made some improvements to its PlayStation Portable, trimming down its size, improving its video quality and battery life, and touting the Darth Vader-emblazoned Star Wars edition; Microsoft unveiled a new Halo 3-themed Xbox 360 and a special new controller for casual games like Scene-It; and Nintendo introduced some new Wii accessories like a zapper gun, an exercise balance board, and a steering wheel.
It probably won't be clear until the end of the week whether the eye-catching game trailers and lavish demonstrations like Microsoft's smoke-machine-laden debut of the Rock Band will have been enough to keep jaded press members and analysts at bay, but Microsoft executive Peter Moore's "rendition" of the Hives' Main Offender on the new music game certainly elicited some laughs.
Gaming can be social
Aside from entertainment, the three press events shared two more-common buzzwords: connectivity and versatility. The companies highlighted their individual online hubs--Microsoft's Xbox Live, Sony's PlayStation Network and Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console--as responsible for breaking video gaming out of its solitary shell and making it a legitimately social experience. Sony spent a significant amount of time highlighting the "Home" virtual world associated with the PlayStation 3, with Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Jack Tretton using his Home avatar rather than a physical appearance to greet the audience (though he did walk onstage several minutes later). Nintendo announced a new "channel" for the Wii completely devoted to players' "Mii" avatars, which have become a phenomenon themselves.
Microsoft doesn't have any kind of formal social network associated with the Xbox 360, but the company instead touted the sheer volume of its Xbox Live network. "This is the largest community connected to the television," said Jeff Bell, Microsoft's corporate vice president of global marketing. "Last year at E3 we said that Xbox Live would grow to 6 million members by now," he said, noting that it proceeded to hit 7 million. "We've added a new member every eight seconds. This community continues to grow, and before next year's E3, we're forecasting that we will cross the 10 million member mark."
Then there's versatility. All three companies cited examples of how their consoles can be used as living room media centers rather than just gaming devices: Sony showed off the American Idol-like game SingStar, coming to U.S. markets for the first time on the PlayStation 3, and repeatedly emphasized the Blu-ray player built into the console. Nintendo, following in the success of its Wii Sports game suite, demonstrated Wii Fit, which deviates even more from the gaming norm by using the console for aerobics, yoga and even posture improvement games. Microsoft catered more to the couch potato demographic with its announcement that select movies from Disney will be available for purchase through its Xbox Live Marketplace download service, and hyped its new version of the popular movie trivia game Scene-It, previously available only as a DVD game.
There was still plenty of catering toward the hard-core audience, especially at Microsoft's Halo-heavy event. But it was clear that expanding the consoles' functionality to encompass everything like movies, karaoke and even fitness has been a hot priority for all three companies since their launch. The video game industry obviously does want to achieve the privileged status--and it's getting there--of being considered alongside movies and television as a mainstay of entertainment, art and culture.
But there's also the simple drive to maximize profit. The more versatile a pricey video game console is, more consumers, particularly those who don't consider themselves "gamers" in the traditional sense," will be more likely to consider forking over the cash for one.

What would you need to help it all grow.
Coal fired power planets thats what.
everwher right now life can grow it is more so than 15 years ago.
Um lovley c02.
By the way Isreal is more lightly to launch nukes to control islam some more from evolving and not wanting war than islam is evolving and wanting any kind of war at all Not that it all isn't islam anyway.
Oh and by the way someone please help china to ban the one child rule and work on a more equlibrious solution where the gender balance is restord.
Plus lets get these exsses hormones out of our food supply causing our western gender balance to go the other way.
Who here knws what peganism is really about.

ok lets hunt for somthing more to work out how to trump the wii VR edge.
my mind is now entering the uninvented looking for what you could do with the ps3 right nowish.
ok now to use only uninvented infared technlogies and DLPs.
Still contemplating this difficult invention calculation.
Do you know what the great mind of mr marsh has cracked it.
Ok i'm getting somwhere here i'll be back with another post as to the solution.
I say this becase i want the cybertronics industry this all could fund in Japan so rest assured Sony i'll be back.

The tentative plan - tunnel oven
The space I want to build in is oblong, so I want to build a rectangular oven. As envisioned, it will be, interior floor dimensions, 36" deep by 18" wide, with a barrel vaulted ceiling. I also plan on putting the chimney at the rear, not the front. The door will be 12" wide by 9" tall, with a 12" deep entry.
What are the issues as planned?
Re: The tentative plan - tunnel oven
The issues? Well, too many to number. :) But start by downloading the plans and reading them- that will answer some of the questions. The worst thing on your list, IMHO, is the chimney at the back. This will NOT get you the kind of heat you need- it will all go whoosh out the chimney and not circulate and build. Somewhere on the web I found a diagram about this- it clearly showed the thermal forces at work in both cases.
Once you read the plans, even if you don't want to build a pompeii, you will at least have a better working knowledge of how you may want your oven to work or not work.
And insulate like a fiend. Under and over.
Re: The tentative plan - tunnel oven
The oven you're describing is a bread oven. They require a good deal more wood to bring up to temp but they do hold it well for bread baking. Pizza is another story as it requires higher temps and bread ovens don't hold those as well.
Re: The tentative plan - tunnel oven
Let's back up a step. What do you want to do with this mailbox shaped oven?
Re: The tentative plan - tunnel oven
The Brick Bake Oven Page
A couple links that might help. In the second bread ovens are referred to as bake ovens.
By the way, James, the link about FB in that second one says you last updated them on 8/12/08 - 11,000 plan downloads then.
Check out the portable French oven! Not a bread oven, but it is cute.
Re: The tentative plan - tunnel oven
Not so much a mailbox shape as a lozenge shape. I am familiar with the dynamics of arches and thermal mass, neither of which will differ substantially from a domed oven of the same size. The circulation of the rear chimney is what I am really questioning, although it will vent at the same level as a front chimney. I have studied the plans for the Pompeii oven (many thanks for providing them), and many other designs. As stated in another thread, I am primarily a fireplace and masonry guy.
What I want is a quick firing, small footprint oven that can cook a couple of pies and a loaf of bread and be built in a couple of weekends.

The Zagi HP-60 is graceful and fast flying 60 inch wing. This flying wing has lower wing loading making it a good camera platform and for UAV and FPV applications. Lower wing loading for improved thermal performance and lower landing speed. More span improves stability too. Expand your fly zone with the five foot flying wing.
The evolution of the Zagi model moved naturally from hobbyists to a commercial and militery UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) training tool. NASA Ames, the US Navy and many public/private schools and universities use the Zagi-60 to introduce students to UAV and FPV flight. The Zagi-60 design has expanded into the emerging FPV (first person view) market for research using FPV for military and civilian research.
The Pro-Kit comes with:
All EPP Foam
CNC wire cut
Zagi 101.5
Light plywood brace
Flying Weight:
Five carbon spar matrix
Wing Area:
3.6sq ft
Transverse battery position
Wing Loading:

Once again, I'm in need of an Elmer...
I'd like to try out PSK31 on my Icom 703+.
I've downloaded DigiPan as well as Ham Radio Deluxe/Digital Master 780 to see which one I like best.
How do I connect my laptop without a COM port to my Icom 703+ for PSK?
There is so much information out there, most of it fairly confusing. There has to be a way for me to build a simple connection between my computer's sound card input and output and my 703. I'm just not seeing it...
Thanks for the help - I appreciate it very much!

This paper presents a method for determining partial biases and bias uncertainties for application in fission product burnup credit criticality safety analysis. The contribution of each nuclide to the overall system keff bias and the bias uncertainty are determined via the generalized linear least squares method. Where experimental benchmarks are available to validate specific nuclides, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis is used to project biases observed in the benchmarks to biases appropriate for the safety system. Two weighting schemes are proposed to produce an overall bias in the safety system from several single partial biases. Finally, these methods are used to determine partial biases for 149Sm and 103Rh from two experiment series and to apply these biases to a representative used fuel safety system. The biases obtained are compared to bounding estimates, and the sensitivity of the results to relevant assumptions is addressed.

NEW PALESTINE — By a vote of 5-0 the Southern Hancock School Board Monday night approved hiring board secretary Barb Snyder's daughter-in-law for a position in the corporation office.
While the board technically did not violate district policy in hiring Christy Snyder to be a human resources assistant, the move does create "an elephant in the room" with regard to perceptions on nepotism, Superintendent Jim Halik says he told the woman during her job interview.
Southern Hancock's bylaws contain a nepotism policy. It lists board members' close relatives – such as a parent, spouse or sibling – among those who are ineligible to be hired for support positions. The list doesn't mention daughters-in-law.
Barb Snyder, other board members and Halik said they did nothing wrong and simply hired the best person for the position. They also said they were comfortable with the hiring process.
"I don't worry about it," Barb Snyder said. "Part of it is because I will have no direct interaction with what she does in the office. We go through a strict chain of command."

Maybe you've heard that heat is a big enemy of head lice. And you may be wondering if a flat iron for lice would be a good solution. Does a flat iron kill lice and nits? Let us take a look at why that approach may or may not work for getting rid of head lice and their eggs.
It is true that head lice can be destroyed by heat. If they are submitted to a temperature higher than 40 degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit, lice will die. If you use a hair dryer or a flat iron at such a temperature, you might manage to kill adult head lice and some nits.
More importantly, you should know that both adult lice and their eggs are very close to the scalp. And as they live close to the scalp, using heating devices for killing head lice can be dangerous, especially on children. You simply run a risk of burning your or your children's scalp. And this could destroy more hair follicles than it would kill head lice. This is why it is really not recommended to use a flat iron for lice.
If you have dead nits on your hair, away from your scalp, using a flat iron can help to make dead nits less visible, especially if you have long hair. In this case, using a flat iron can be a good idea, when you don't use it close to the scalp.
Keep in mind that using a flat iron is not an effective treatment against lice, and it can cause a lot of damage to your scalp. Fortunately, there are many safer treatments and home remedies you can use to fight both adult lice and nits.

Led by BiNet USA., the American Institute of Bisexuality and assisted by other bisexual organizations including BiPOL, Bialogue and Bi Writers Association a group of bisexual rights activists launched a multi-year struggle that eventually culminated in 2006 with the addition of a Bisexual category.
Transpeople immediately protested the nomination and gathered thousands of petition signatures in opposition within a few days. After the petition, the Foundation's judges examined the book more closely, decided that they considered it transphobic and removed it from their list of finalists. Within a year the executive director who had initially approved of the book's inclusion resigned. Executive Director Charles Flowers stated, "Further, the Bailey incident revealed flaws in our awards nomination process, which I have completely overhauled since becoming the foundation's executive director in January 2006."

Maputo — Heavy rains in the central Mozambican province of Zambezia have forced 110 families to leave their homes in the districts of Mocuba and Maganja da Costa, reports the daily newspaper "Noticias".
According to Maria Luciano, the Zambezia provincial delegate of the country's relief agency, the National Disasters Management Institute (INGC), 80 of those families came from the town of Mocuba.
The flood victims are being temporarily housed in premises owned by the publicly owned ports and rail company, CFM.
Luciano said that the other families, from Nante and Maganja da Costa, are being accommodated in a former rice processing factory.
Luciano told "Noticias" that the INGC's focus is on assessing the needs of the displaced families so that help can be provided. Special attention is being given to Maganja da Costa and Namacurra, where it is estimated that nine thousand people are at risk of being hit by flooding, in the valley of the Licungo river. She added that five boats were available for rescue operations.
The INGC has also dispatched a team to Furquia, in Namacurra district, where houses and farms have been flooded.
According to the latest hydrological bulletin from the National Water Board (DNA), the level of the Licungo at Mocuba has been dropping, but remains above flood alert level. The flood on the Licungo has disrupted road traffic with several of the major roads in Namacurra and Maganja da Costa districts impassable.
Further south, Cyclone Guito, in the Mozambique Channel, has turned to the south-east, away from the Mozambican coast. It is now unlikely to make landfall, but still poses a threat to shipping.

Schultz Appreciates Award Despite Criticism
Most in his party didn't like the stand he took on a mining bill this year, but Richland Center republican state senator Dale Schultz has been awarded for that stand. The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation has given Schultz and two others the group's Conservationist of the Year Award for sticking by their principles to block a mining bill in the state despite political pressure to do otherwise.
Schultz says he's honored by the award. And the criticism from within his own party? Part of the game of politics, he says.
